[00:00] Tempus_Fugit, re-install gnome keyring, you need it to store wireless keys and more. [00:00] I am currently running a dual boot with win7 and ubuntu 10.4 on a 500g hard drive, and I have a 1TB hd i want to move ubuntu to. is it possible to remove ubuntu from this hd without doing a complete reformat of the windows partition? would it hurt anything if i just used a partition program to expand the windows partition to the full drive?\ [00:00] Oer: which package ...seahorse??? [00:00] qwiksilver711, it shouldnt [00:01] backup just incase tho :) [00:01] Hi, how would one completely remove sendmail from their system? [00:01] Oer: or just apt-get install gnome-keyring?? [00:01] 63% installed [00:02] in theory couldn't i use something to image the windows partition, and then put that on the 1tb hd as a backup, and if something went wrong when i expanded the windows partition i should be able to just throw that image on the 500g hd right? [00:02] Tempus_Fugit, i'm not sure, i think, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring [00:03] Hi, how would one completely remove sendmail from their system? [00:03] qwiksilver711, thats the long way [00:03] ok this might help how do I create a root acct in Lucid ...chroot? [00:03] DCat-- whats the short way? [00:03] How come putting @hourly /path/to/python/app.py in my local crontab (via contab -e) isn't being executed? [00:03] qwiksilver711, but you could if you wanted.. just .img the win7 partition and keep it aside BEFORE you do anything that can cause uh-ohs... [00:03] Tempus_Fugit, There already is a root account. To access it ubuntu uses sudo [00:03] Tempus_Fugit: you add a user to the admin group if you need root privledges [00:04] Tempus_Fugit, leaving keyring without pass solves the keyring-question-issue [00:04] He means something in the means of "su root" I think... [00:04] eMyller: still there? [00:04] ThePCKid: that is a bad idea and unsupported in this channel [00:04] rezzy: yes [00:04] how can i use my speaker output as a mic [00:04] i installed the repo and the key for google but i only still have the googleearth-package package in my repos [00:04] good good dont want to loose u, not long now nearly installed :D [00:04] any reccomendations on programs to use to image the windows partition? [00:04] quit [00:04] ThePCKid: for a root session in bash use 'sudo -i' [00:04] I have a TV surround sound system with the two sterio RCA plugs, is there a way to get surround sound from the computer to play through this? [00:05] so people can hear what i hear [00:05] edbian: but in term if I type in "su" it asks for a pw that I dont know? [00:05] no mic [00:05] I'm fairly sure ive removed the bulk of sendmail, but it still attempts to start on boot and I get an error saying Not Configured Not started, anybody know how I can fix this? [00:05] someguy: did you apt-get update'd? [00:05] Tempus_Fugit type sudo su and the password you know ;) [00:05] Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done ubuntu-keyring is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [00:05] bastid_raZor, thanks for that.. i didnt know either. [00:05] yes eMyller [00:05] qwiksilver711, though i have not tried it i have heard ping is not ghost (ping) is good [00:05] eMyller, i even added the non-free repo as well [00:05] someguy: you should have googleearth, then [00:05] hmm ok [00:06] gnoob: ty [00:06] DCat--: glad to help. [00:06] Can anyone help me with my Samba problem? [00:06] !ask MaddTechWF [00:06] someguy: weird. do you have medibuntu added as well? [00:06] then when root write "passwd" and set the new root password... :) next time "su" will work fine.. (but be careful using root!!!!!) [00:06] MaddTechWF, maybe [00:06] no eMyller [00:06] i dont have medibuntu [00:07] someguy: i just checked it, googleearth comes from medibuntu here. [00:07] gnoob, it's "passwd root" [00:07] maybe it changed or i just mixed it up. [00:07] heh ok [00:07] I installed Samba and configured it to the specs of a video I watched. When I go to my Windows XP machine, I can see the share folder but not its contents. My PS3 won't even see it either. [00:08] hello i need to reinstall from zero a win xp partition, on a ubuntu hd, any tips for recovery grub easily after that? thanks in advance [00:08] the default root password?? hmm have no idea.. ubuntu let root be disabled by default for security reasons. But can be enabled by sudo su and write passwd to set new root password... (correct me if Im wrong anybody) === richard is now known as Guest50063 [00:09] 95 % [00:09] gnoob: ammoung other ways.. but its niot reccomended [00:10] !root [00:10] 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 [00:10] abbronzato: it's very easily found on google; there's a wiki page about that with a high rank. i don't remember its url now. [00:10] oh that one is awsome, kinda like "there is no spoon neo" rofl [00:10] is there a front end to growisofs that will allow me to burn multiple dvds simultaneously? [00:10] DCat--, Pirolocito : I installed Samba and configured it to the specs of a video I watched. When I go to my Windows XP machine, I can see the share folder but not its contents. My PS3 won't even see it either. [00:10] @gnoob [00:10] By default, the root password is scrambled and locked (I think) [00:10] Try "passwd root" to change the password to a known value. Then try "su root" and type in root's pass [00:10] Zelozelos, exactly. :) [00:10] eMyller, yes the prob is that all is related to the old grub [00:10] !root | ThePCKid [00:10] ThePCKid, please see my private message [00:10] not his one [00:11] so pretty much any root privledges I need can be handled using "sudo" [00:11] Guest50063: once you ahve the iso made. you could do the actuall burning to seeral drives at once. depending on the speeds of the disks [00:11] I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu ("X Window System error"), any ideas on how to resolve? http://pastebin.com/BM2T22p0 [00:11] Tempus_Fugit, yes [00:11] Tempus_Fugit, that is correct [00:11] k ty [00:12] Hi. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 under the XFCE desktop environment, attempting to use Altec BX1220 speakers, and when I plug them in, they light up and give feedback, but no sound comes from them. Can someone help me? [00:12] atm I need to figure out to get my gnome login screen working [00:12] how did you break it Tempus_Fugit ? [00:12] @TheSkeward: [00:12] Is there an icon that looks like a speaker? [00:12] good question [00:12] Dr_Willis: so created the ISO files and then burn them using growisofs? [00:12] sounds like a good idea [00:13] abbronzato: i found one about 2.0 once [00:13] ThePCKid: up in the top right? yeah. it says "Output: 100% | 0.00 dB | Internal Audio Analog Stereo" when I mouse over it [00:13] Guest50063: or other burner tools. [00:13] i ran the medibuntu command as shown on the ubuntu help documentation but for me i get the error that signatures couldnt be verified because the public key is not available [00:13] hie all [00:13] I've installed the nvidia drivers, but it says "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" and it doesn't load X [00:13] i thought the command automatically fetched the key [00:13] @TheSweward: [00:13] Is there an option that lets you change the dB? [00:14] Dr_Willis: k3b and gnomebaker won't burn to more than one drive at a time which is ridiculous. [00:14] abbronzato: google 'grub 2 recover' [00:14] Dr_Willis: All I know is I was trying to disable the wireless keyring and rm'ed the wrong keyring now it dont work no more I kinda doubt its an isolated incident but I could be wrong [00:14] Err http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid/free medibuntu-keyring 2008.04.20 [00:14] 404 Not Found [00:14] wei [00:14] ThePCKid: I'm in Sound Preferences. I'm not entirely sure what the dB is. [00:14] 有人讲中文麼？ [00:14] Tempus_Fugit: You did try making a new user and seeing if that new user can login?

[00:16] Tempus_Fugit: you are on wired of wireless in ubuntu? [00:17] Tempus_Fugit: 'sudo adduser billgates' [00:17] rezzy: i suggest you to restart the pc with the dongle connected at first [00:17] oki have done [00:17] got a weird one for you guys every now and then when i restart my computer my wireless disappears like the icon isn't in the upper right but the driver is installed and everything the only thing that happened was i restarted the computer any ideas on how to get the wireless card to work again? [00:17] I got in thru recovery shell and logged in then as phillinux said did startx ...so yes now I am in this partition [00:17] Is there any way to access a network share on the desktop through SSH? [00:17] I am having a bad time with rhythmbox [00:18] nimphious: just navigate to the folder === peter__ is now known as halvor [00:18] f/name [00:18] it keeps messing up me tags. I worked so hard to clean up and do all my tags, I open rhythmbox and suddenly half my tags have changed, and if I open my tag program again all the files I tagged have been screwed up [00:19] rezzy: you will be notified if it works. otherwise, let me know. [00:19] Nimphious: for linux to linux. you can access a ssh machine with sshfs or the gnome connect to server. feature as if it was a local dir [00:19] straneseraph: use songbird works great [00:19] eMyller: will do [00:19] does Songbird work with iPod Touch?

[00:19] strangeseraph: should yea and you can even import your entire itunes library [00:20] strangeseraph, even before it was descontinued for linux, it didn't support iPods [00:20] And yet on the desktop the share is there. [00:20] eMyller: keeps turning off :/ [00:20] oh [00:20] Dr_Willis: Ok brb let me try to login with that new name brb [00:20] Is there an alternate way to set up a share so I can specify where it is mounted manually? === Sup1|Lobby is now known as SuP|Lobby [00:20] bastid_raZor: that's weird considering i'm using it right now on my ubuntu [00:20] Nimphious: thats because its a 'special' thing. not a real directory on teh desktop [00:20] Nimphious: it may be in ~/.gvfs [00:20] makaveli0129, that doesn't mean it was never released for linux. [00:20] makaveli0129: i didn't say there aren't debs out there. just the continued development.. future updates etc. are not going to happen. [00:20] makaveli0129, it's just that new versions don't get released for linux [00:20] rezzy: doesn't it work? what do you mean with 'keeps turning off'? [00:21] makaveli0129, there's a fork for linux called nightingale. Not sure how it's going on. [00:21] It's there. [00:21] Thanks Dr_Willis.

[00:24] makaveli0129: do you have any memory leaks? last time i used it leaked fairly bad. [00:25] bastid_raZor: i wouldn't even know how to check that LOL i know a little but not enough it's one of those so so things LOL [00:25] eMyller: it has a graphics card built in, not the best just a standard one [00:25] rezzy: i just installed one and it worked. i still don't know another workaround for that. but i'm really not sure if that's your case too. [00:25] rezzy: sad it didn't work. :\ [00:25] seems to be working atm [00:25] right [00:25] bastid_raZor: the main reason i wanted it was to get my playlists from itunes imported into it so that i can export them into a format that works with rythmbox [00:26] makaveli0129: one way to tell is in top or htop sonbird uses more and more RAM [00:26] eMyller: maybe the power cord to the laptop was faulty for a minute [00:26] rezzy: then someone else may help you on that. i don't understand well about that kind of issues. sorry. :( [00:26] eMyller: it has reconised the brand provider [00:27] eMyller: but it does not connect what do i do from then?

In a command window, type dmesg and see if you can see any messages relating to the specific hardware. [00:36] 2. Alternatively and also in a command window, type tail -f /var/log/syslog. Then, insert the hardware, like the wireless card and see what messages come up. This should give you an indication of whether the hardware is being detected or not.

[01:31] What program can I use to Burn an ISO image to USB? [01:31] how change the color and the position of colored tab in byobu? [01:32] thune3, yes. i'm sure that's what's happening.

If all the physical memory is really available, the only solution is to kill memory hogging applications before you run out of memory. [01:34] pradeep: done that what now? [01:34] deexannihilate, use unetbootin [01:35] it seems to be detecting it when I plug it in, but it's not working [01:35] deexannihilate, what kind of ISO? is it bootable? does the USB drive need to be bootable? [01:35] rezzy, sudo apt-get install wvdial [01:35] and the input subsystems seem to have changed a lot recently, so I don't know what howto's to trust [01:35] Enmand I'm not connected and its a command line based gui [01:36] it works when I reboot, but not when I hotplug [01:36] codebrainz, it will make it bootable [01:36] codebrainz: Yes, the USB needs to be bootable. It's or Super grub.

[01:42] where do i find that information [01:42] Guest28494: are you really asking me if I'm being serious in regards to a server being on a wireless network or are you asking rhetorical questions? [01:42] can anybody help i cant get to ubuntu synaptic package manager i get a error emalformed line55 in source list/etc/apt/source list luri parse. the list of source could not be read [01:42] kassah, what's the make/model number? [01:43] is the dongle a plug n play device [01:43] pradeep: i'm reinstalling for a friend , how do i find out the isp ? [01:43] Guest28494: Yes, did you try a Netisnatall? [01:43] cos every dongle has a work around [01:43] what's the advantage of using a 32-bit system over a 64-bit system? [01:43] Martian, I am asking are you serious, why wouldn't they think about that? Or even letting you install everything onto a dvd so you don't have this [01:43] josedose: paste the contents of yours to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link it here [01:43] is there no tinyXml package in the ubuntuu repos? [01:43] daddysmurf, reuse of old hardware :) [01:43] pradeep: its usb i have no idea if its plug and play [01:44] codebrainz, Zebra LP2844 (Labels itself UPS Thermal 2844 to the computer) [01:44] codebrainz: sorry, I was unclear... that's on 64-bit hardware [01:44] pradeep: all i know is that on windows u put it in and pressed connect [01:44] netinstall / upgrade = Train Wreck \\\ Guaranteed [01:44] Guest28494: Here is the page...a page> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations [01:44] daddysmurf, for me? support for 8GB of ram without using tricks [01:45] Guest28494: because as I initially asserted, I doubt it happens very often. I've never heard of anyone running a server wirelessly. I would suspect that most people jam their server in the same corner as their router. [01:45] rezzy, when you connect it on ubuntu click ont the network manager you should see it there [01:45] kassah: that's the driving reason for me to use 64-bit ubuntu... but the site suggests 32-bit [01:45] daddysmurf, no advantage really, unless you have some weird software that doesn't support 64-bit [01:45] Can someone walk me through using Super Grub to fix my booting [01:45] codebrainz: ty, 64 it is [01:45] daddysmurf, use 32 bit it's better [01:45] hiexpo: why? [01:45] daddysmurf, software compatability (especially proprietary programs such as flash) is slightly better on 32bit [01:46] apart from proprietary programs, there's no reason to use 32 bit [01:46] Martian, some people merely can't due to circumstances and I don't think it'd be so hard of them to add wireless-tools [01:46] pradeep: ove got network connections and network proxy, i have no idea where network manager is [01:46] Guest28494: What is it preventing you from connecting to a wireless network on the server anyway? [01:46] Can someone give me some advise about installing Ubuntu from a flash drive? [01:46] daddysmurf, I imagine flash is 99% of the reason for that recommendation. [01:46] daddysmurf, because 64 bit becomes boggy and hangs [01:46] I'm planning to run a vm with windows to over-come the 64-bit software limitations, as well as the no-photoshop-on-linux concept [01:47] If you need flash, you're doing it wrong anyhow ;) [01:47] I think I should be fine [01:47] codebrainz, it's not exactly a common printer except amoung places like pharmacies and shipping docks [01:47] deexannihilate: Have you been able to boot Super GRUB2 Disk? [01:47] rezzy, on the right top corner of your desktop [01:47] jakexks: html5 ftw [01:47] kassah, i'll google around for a minute [01:47] codebrainz, they cost over $600... and print on a very small label... their industrial =) [01:47] pradeep: where the wifi and that is ? where do i go on from there? [01:47] Jordan_U: I don't know how. :( I'm a failure at computers [01:47] kassah, is it serial or parallel or usb? [01:47] where can i get the testing/experimental/developmental kernels for ubuntu 10.04? [01:47] rezzy, yes [01:47] I have 10.04 and I can't find how to allow external VNC sessions [01:47] Martian, I can't move it to my server because of cable interference and I can't move the server because if it was moved it would be in the middle of a room [01:48] pradeep: what do i go on now ? [01:48] rugabug: check iptables [01:48] And I don't have room in the room and the server is very loud [01:48] codebrainz, USB [01:48] deexannihilate: Are you trying to burn it to a CD or do you want to make a bootable flash drive? [01:48] hello [01:48] Jordan_U: I used unetbootin and have burned it to a flash drive. [01:48] Hi guys I'm testing for the first time Xubuntu. [01:48] smurf I'm new to this and don't know what that is [01:48] what's the easiest way to find out what version of ubuntu you're running? [01:48] Guest28494: Did you see the link I posted? [01:49] UCD? [01:49] I'm used to "cat /etc/redhat_release" [01:49] deexannihilate: I doubt that unetbootin will work with Super GRUB2 Disk. [01:49] kassah, have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9319169 [01:49] mdgeorge1, cat /etc/ubuntu_version I believe [01:49] Jordan_U: what else shall I do? Is there a way to verify if it did work correctly? [01:49] Vigo, I can't if I can't connect wirelessly [01:49] daddysmurf, OK good luck /// biyacondios amigo don't say i did not 'tell ya [01:49] lsb_release -a [01:49] mdgeorge1: lsb_release -a [01:50] thanks [01:50] hi. everytime I boot my netbook, the bluetooth applet is on. how do I make it remember to stay off, when I turn it off? [01:50] edbian: there's no ubuntu_version [01:50] codebrainz, I suspect there is a module attached to it even though it's not fully installed preventing VirtualBox from being able to make use of it. so a way to look determine which modules were using a usb device would also work [01:50] deexannihilate: Do you have a Linux machine that you can use to make the bootable flash drive? Is it OK if the current contents of the flash drive are wiped? [01:50] why does my ati card work on older versions of ubuntu like 9.10 but **NOT** the new 10.04 [01:50] ?? [01:51] Hey I'm having trouble getting a new ubuntu install running on my new netbook. It looks like the initrd is jamming up. Setup works fine. I've also updated using a rescue disk in the hopes that it woudl fix it. [01:51] mdgeorge1, /etc/issue [01:51] kassah, your vbox host is linux and the vbox guest is linux? [01:51] mdgeorge1, Every distro has their own method. That's annoying I think. [01:51] Jordan_U: Yes and Yes. [01:51] ah. lsb_release -a worked for me [01:51] tried install vmware workstation [01:51] codebrainz, guest is windows... working on a work project that requires me to program an app that prints to it... [01:51] but i get these error [01:51] lsb => linux standards base (i think) [01:51] Building module with command: /usr/bin/make -C /tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon-only auto-build SUPPORT_SMP=1 HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc GREP=/usr/bin/make IS_GCC_3=no VMCCVER=4.4.3 [01:51] Martian, is there a way to once install ubuntu desktop uninstall all unneccsary stuff and install all neccesary packages? [01:51] bad_command: try running puppy linux with gparted, delete ALL the partitions [01:51] deexannihilate: Ok, then you need to use a utility called "dd" to put the SG2D image onto the flash drive. [01:52] codebrainz, if it's supported in linux... I can just share it to the windows box... if it's pass-thru-able... that works even better [01:52] where from there?!?!?!?! [01:52] bad_command: then install ubuntu from from usb [01:52] im on the network manager, damn its so complicated 8-) [01:52] Guest28494: write a script removing what you think is unneeded and installing what you want [01:52] so i did now what [01:52] philisf preferances > startup apps [01:52] kassah, good point, i forgot about a net share [01:52] the_file: heh no thanks, I'm not going to delete all partitions. This is a weird issue with the init root disk. [01:52] codebrainz, sadly, I havn't managed to convince the warehouse to switch to linux yet lol [01:52] Guest28494: That does not make any sense, you are in IRC, you are connected somehow, here is the link:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations [01:52] Jordan_U: Can I get it in it Synaptic? [01:52] martian u there [01:53] deexannihilate: First, find out what the device name for your flash drive is. It's important that you are sure about this as you don't want to whipe the wrong drive. [01:53] Vigo_ that would be because I'm on my phone [01:53] kassah: just spread a virus over their network [01:53] anyone.............. [01:53] deexannihilate: It comes with Ubuntu by default, it's a terminal based utility. [01:53] Jordan_U: how do I find the name for the flash drive? [01:53] Guest28494: Ah, ok, Thank you, I was very confused with that... [01:53] kassah, i'm not useful with printers, i don't have one, but i know the older-style serial/parallel ones are super easy to interface with even without drivers [01:54] nvm ill go back to windows [01:54] Vigo_ no problem [01:54] where is here? [01:54] the_file: I'm going to dissect the initrd image to see if I can figure it out, was hoping someone would know if this is a current issue [01:54] rezzy: ive not even see n you ask a question... [01:54] codebrainz, thanks for looking =) [01:54] yo [01:54] bad_command: maybe ubuntu is not a good idea [01:54] deexannihilate: Open System > Administration > Disk utility and select your flash drive from the list on the left. [01:54] oh,my god! [01:54] Dr_Willis: im trying to sort out a 3g dongle [01:54] bad_command: there are other distors [01:54] but its not working [01:54] codebrainz, yeah... all of mine are network printers... this whole usb thing is foreign to me lol [01:55] alguien tiene el link de ubuntu-es? [01:55] Who can talk with me? [01:55] rezzy: you have checked tghe forums for your specific dongle? [01:55] Is there a way to run ubuntu desktop and then kill X? [01:55] thinkpaduser, I can... but will I? [01:55] So you have a command line [01:55] Guest28494: 'sudo service gdm stop' [01:55] the_file: ubuntu makes me happy. good ideas make me happy. therefore ubuntu is a good idea. ;) [01:55] Dr_willis thanks [01:55] Guest28494: or just alt-cttrl-f1 to get to console [01:55] Jordan_U: I don't have anything called disk utility [01:55] bad_command: its nothing special, really [01:55] Dr_Willis: yup but its to complicated so im going to install windows on it, only problem when i burn a iso on ubuntu, the windows disc wont load up from start up [01:55] kassah, I come here first time! [01:55] thinkpaduser, diddn't see any questions from you... did you ask one? [01:56] thinkpaduser, welcome! =) [01:56] Dr_Willis well I don't want x running if I won't be using it that'll just eat up my resources [01:56] deexannihilate: What version of Ubuntu / what distro are you using? [01:56] Where can i find my Onscreen Keyboard? [01:56] Guest28494: you got a box so old that it will matter? scary. [01:56] Jordan_U: Eeebuntu [01:56] Yes,I have no questions [01:56] hi [01:56] hey [01:56] buf [01:56] Bad_Command, where/how does it jam up? any errors/messages? [01:56] hola [01:56] Guest28494: you can disable the gdm servuice if you want it never to start === crunchbang is now known as Watoosh [01:57] anyways im out [01:57] Kassah,how long do you here? [01:57] thinkpaduser, awsome =) you should hang out and answer the questions you can... and just have a good time =) what makes these places so great is that everyone is willing to help everyone else out =) [01:57] hello [01:57] anyone know the latest or best way for creating livecds [01:57] Dr_willis edit the daemon file right? [01:57] thinkpaduser, I'm not here a whole lot... mostly because the traffic is a bit high for me... I come when I have questions.. =) [01:57] deexannihilate: Ok, then run "sudo blkid" in a terminal. It will output information on all of your drives / partitions (hopefully you will be able to tell from this infomation which is your flash drive) [01:57] Guest28494: just rename it. /etc/init/gdm.conf to gdm.DONTSTART === joan is now known as ubuntu_red [01:58] thinkpaduser, also... if I stayed in here all day... I'd never leave.. because I'd try to answer everyones questions =) [01:58] putlipoti, does best == simplest? [01:58] thinkpaduser, but I do hang out in a lot of other channels that a little lower traffic to help out people there =) [01:58] Watoosh: How is that running for you? [01:58] well,but I just fresh man, [01:58] Where can i find my Onscreen Keyboard?

[01:58] hi. everytime I boot my netbook, the bluetooth applet is on. how do I make it remember to stay off, when I turn it off? [01:58] codebrainz: non-rescue boot only shows blinking cursor, recovery mode last printout is a kernel ata/SATA printout [01:59] Kassah,I just use linux first time! [01:59] thinkpaduser, we all started there =) it's a fun place to be... when everything is new... =) [01:59] Bad_Command, about not being able to mount the root filesystem? [01:59] codebrainz: hey hows it going [01:59] michaelxq: Have you installed it? [01:59] good nuff [01:59] how would you get to the task manager screen on ubuntu so you can close out programs/running applets [02:00] i finaly figured out how to use VB shared folders with crunch bang [02:00] Vigo_, yes and i can't find it [02:00] happy day [02:00] thinkpaduser, now if there is something I can't figure out... I get frustrated... because I've been using linux for over 10 years now... but I've had freshmen help me with my problems that I couldn't solve... [02:00] deexannihilate: (please use pastebin next time). It looks like you have two flash drives, is the Lexar one the one you want to use for SG2D? [02:00] michaelxq: Running a GUI like Gnome? [02:00] codebrainz: now check this, I want to make an edubutu clone, but I dont like thier themes, installed apps...I want something similar but tweaked, now if I wanted to create a distro like this im guessing start with base ubuntu and just isntall apps and then make a distro/package [02:00] I feel like a retard... Can anybody please explain to me why nvidia-current has no references (direct dependency or recommended install or wahtever) on the current kernel headers and why does installation succeed without them?! I sort of understand why it might be a hard problem (it does not need the latest, it does not need some specific version but it does need to have headers for whatever is current) hiding "oh... I wasn't able to build the module... [02:00] codebrainz: no, no complaints like that. caps lock key does not toggle when pressed. When I've booted using the livecd, there were no logs in /var/log [02:01] ross_: system -> admin -> system monitor [02:01] Vigo_, gnome [02:01] Jordan_U: and it is the Lexar and sorry I didn't know what pastebin was! [02:01] ross_, system -> admin -> system monitor [02:01] ross_, Or, in a term: ps -e [02:01] that guy was right this # is really high trafic [02:01] lol [02:01] Kassah,thanks [02:01] putlipoti, there's a tutorial (google Live CD From Scratch) that pretty much explains the process, sounds like you have the basic idea, that tutorial will fill in the blanks [02:02] deexannihilate: Ok, run "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" to be sure that the flash drive isn't mounted. [02:02] michaelxq: Did you restart after installing it? [02:02] putlipoti, there's also programs that automate the whole process to an extent, but I've never used them [02:02] thanks codebrainz [02:02] Building module with command: /usr/bin/make -C /tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon-only auto-build SUPPORT_SMP=1 HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc GREP=/usr/bin/make IS_GCC_3=no VMCCVER=4.4.3 [02:02] hello, right, can anyone help me to make a bootable disc [02:02] Vigo_ , in general i can't find my assistive technologies [02:02] ps -e? let's try it [02:02] any help [02:02] Vigo_, reboot it [02:02] rezzy, do you have an iso image [02:02] Vigo_, sorry log off and log on again [02:02] jordan_u: ok [02:02] pradeep:: i do [02:03] are u on ubuntu [02:03] or windows [02:03] if I want have a talk with you alone?How can I do?

[02:04] rezzy, did you set your boot option to boot from cd [02:04] pradeep: how do you do tht in braseo [02:04] deexannihilate: Tell me when you're done with running umount. [02:05] rezzy, You set the boot device in the bios.

[02:21] Jordan_U: That's what you told me last time. So, I had installed a DVD drive last year but it wouldn't work with the CD drive plugged in. I needed to use the CD drive, so I plugged it in and when I restarted it, the computer loaded upto the OS selection page, but offered no selections. I think we determined that it was trying to boot from one of those drives. [02:21] jake_: what about it?

If I just run 'sudo -u myuser -i' and then ls, it works. This problem happening on one installation only and it works fine on all other machines. What could be the issue? [02:25] And the funny thing is that the microphone works perfectly when I run the system in Livecd, but after the installation on HD, it stops working... [02:25] SuffoKate: after that is done you will need to identify with /msg nickserv identify password [02:25] will somebody help me with vnc? [02:25] I've tried to do everything, but nothing works...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:28] Please, anybody, how can I set my sound card up? [02:28] deexannihilate: Ok, do you have Ubuntu installed on your desktop or just windows? [02:28] zultell: ask and if someone can help, they will [02:28] fjl: it's a disk in an image file (qemu) [02:28] jordan_u: they were both installed and both worked before I switched the drives [02:28] kind of hard to mount an option within an image file [02:29] s/option/partition [02:29] its any other software can use like alkohol 120% [02:29] in ubuntu [02:29] fjl: any reason why it aint showing up or is there any other way where i can find the connection? [02:29] deexannihilate: Try the "Detect Any OS" option. Did you install Ubuntu inside Windows? [02:30] Jordan_u: I believe I did install it inside windows as a dual boot [02:30] un214: You can do it by specifying an offset to losetup. [02:30] duh [02:30] Jordan_u: it says windows nt/2000/xp loader [02:31] why aint there no connect button :( [02:31] any other software can use like alkohol 120% i mean to mount iso or mds file [02:31] deexannihilate: Ok, then that explains why there is only the ntfs partition. Selecting "windows nt/2000/xp loader" should bring you to another menu where you can choose to boot either windows or Ubuntu. [02:31] rezzy: did you get it working? sorry, i lost my connection some minutes ago.

[02:32] eMyller: i think so , yes usb [02:32] deexannihilate: I need to leave fairly soon.

[02:34] rezzy: restart with your modem connected [02:35] eMyller: ok x) [02:35] Jordan_u: quick question. if I just order a new cd, can I just wipe the entire system and start over. there isn't anything important on the computer as far as programs or documents. would it correct the problem? [02:35] hello. Is there a way to make the brightness keys on my laptop adjust the brightness levels in power management? [02:36] @dlbike76: I don't know... [02:36] deexannihilate: Most likely, yes. [02:36] jordan_u: ok. thank you soo much for your help [02:37] jordan_u: is there a way to just uninstall ubuntu without uninstalling windows/ [02:38] deexannihilate, are you dual booting [02:38] or wubi install [02:38] deexannihilate: Ubuntu is likely the only thing that will boot at all currently, uninstalling it would leave you with pretty much nothing that you could boot. [02:38] jordan_u: gah. alright. thanks! [02:38] @deexannihilate: Yes. Go into the remove programs thing and uninstall Ubuntu [02:39] deexannihilate: If you ask later I can walk you through getting Ubuntu to boot again. [02:39] jordan_u: I'll check with you tomorrow if you are available. thanks again [02:41] eMyller: u there [02:41] codebrainz: I think it is the splash screen that is causing problems. the thing boots fine with nosplash on the command line [02:42] the kernel boot command line, that is [02:42] eMyller: ???????? [02:42] rezzy: yeah [02:42] whats the commant to remove .wine? [02:42] and .wintericks [02:42] Bad_Command, what video mode are you using for the framebuffer?

I'm to the point where this tutorial is stating to go to SYSTEM|ADMINISTRATION|SHARED FOLDERS but that's not in ADMINISTRATION on my computer. The other option it gives is to type in "shares-admin" in the terminal but it doesn't work either and says: "No command 'share-admin' found, did you mean: [02:43] Command 'shares-admin' from package 'gnome-system-tools' (main) [02:43] share-admin: command not found [02:43] " [02:43] DSSA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Where should I start? [02:46] Can anyone help with setting up the Shared Folders on Ubuntu with my XP computers? [02:46] CAPcap: unetbootin can do other distros as well I think [02:46] after deleteing .winetrickscache and winetricks and .wine i should be left with a clean wine correct?

Im running Ubuntu Lucid, fully updated kernel, but theres a lag that ive had that i cant get rid of. the powerdown dialog lags 15 seconds, at startup the toolbars lag 30 seconds before theyre visable. any ideas? [03:09] realubot, Each progressive version of gdm is progressively less secure than the previous version. Eventually, there will be no security at all. (That's a joke, mate) [03:10] heh yank [03:10] is there a way to disallow easy viewing of passwords in the passwords and encryption keys program?, i.e. by requiring a password to see them?

[03:12] YankDownUnder: its really odd, ive tried a few things like killing compiz or starting a different kernel, no luck though [03:12] judgen, If I'm not mistaken, you have to use "xsetroot" or similar. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:13] YankDownUnder: i expected an update to fix this, but no luck so far [03:13] DK__2, 1.)

[03:16] danz_d_man, In a terminal, type: ifconfig eth0 => see what it says [03:16] judgen, Years ago, YEARS ago, when I played with AmiWM, I could tell you in a heartbeat...however, that was years ago mate...

I'd look at logs for clues then. Sounds like some dhcp client is setting up interface when it shouldn't be. [03:38] thune3: thanks I'll check that [03:39] where does ubuntu store its log files and boot log files? [03:39] oh, so capcap when I burned to the thumb i should have selected "persistant" ? [03:39] danz_d_man, Just another note on connections => change the MTU to 1500 and not "Automatic" => check that all the IPv4 settings are set for your network properly, and that IPv6 is setup for "Ignore" => that the settings are also for "All Users" and "Connect Automatically" => that should put you right. [03:39] TruXter, yeah probably [03:39] ForestBear, nah you can take one port to another [03:39] dang. [03:39] :-( [03:40] is there a virus removal tool available ?

I have only used it to forward internet connections and havent delved into the NAT stuff [03:40] i pulled an XP drive from another system, and would like to repair it [03:40] sb750sux, could you give an example on how I could do such a redirection rule then? [03:40] besides MASQUERADE [03:40] profxavier, use fprot or clamav [03:40] ForestBear, is the incoming for a webpage? [03:40] i think i have heard of clamav [03:40] yes profxavier lol. unfortunately there is.. it's to install to a thumb usb and not select "persistent" lol [03:41] TruXter, sure === bruno is now known as Guest28542 [03:41] how can i setup syslog.conf to write logging message to their respected logs but also to one aggregated log? [03:41] thune3: Yeah I see some /usr/lib/NetworkrManager/nm.dhcp-client.action [03:41] sorry, my issue would have completely prevented your issue lol. sorry i had to laugh at the irony and timing.

[03:43] ForestBear, ohhh! let me think === BlackKangKong is now known as blaqflamekang [03:44] ForestBear, if its a web page, wouldnt a simple redirect from the main page be easier? [03:44] sb750sux, yeah I was just wondering if there's another way as I would need to set up a simple server but I got it, thanks :) [03:45] "however, due to the additional write cycles that occur on a full blown install, the life of your flash drive may be reduced: <--- = :( === blaqflamekang is now known as WowJustEffinWoW [03:45] when i start ubuntu it says kernal configuration invalid. and the error is caused by Nvidia.

[03:57] workstation 7 [03:57] profxavier: once you plug it into the physical box, you should see it listed under VM -> Removable Devices -> [03:58] you just select it to connect it. [03:58] "A USB device is about to be unplugged from the host and connected to this virtual machine. It will first be stopped to enable safe removal. With some devices, the host may display the message "The device can now safely be removed."" [03:58] then do with it what you want in ubuntu (mount it, fdisk it, whatever...) [03:58] how to make oldconfig [03:58] this appears, when I connect it, then attempt to add it under Removable Devices [03:58] then I get an error === surinder is now known as porus [03:59] profxavier: right. what happens is it "disconnects" it from your windows host and connects it to a fake connection that routes it to the VM guest [03:59] should I -not- remove it, from my Windows host ? [03:59] profxavier: right, don't disconnect it from the host. [03:59] that message that came up was just telling you to disregard the message that windows was giving you [03:59] how much space is required for git clone of linux-image [03:59] ok, mounted :D [04:00] time to get clamav [04:00] any ideas about dmraid ? http://pastebin.org/397116 [04:00] porus: could vary...

I don't know the exact size tho... === lor is now known as lor\away [04:03] vmware > virtualbox? I tried the latter for a couple os's and they all failed to load [04:04] I assumed whole vyatta source to be around 100MB, but it is big. and they do not give source tar file [04:04] residentgrey: I've been playing a lot with virtual box lately... I'm actually really liking it. Earlier versions were not quite up-to-par... but these days it's probably as good or better than VMWare [04:04] ok [04:04] any os's have any difficulty for you? i tried reactos and minix [04:05] residentgrey: in general, all the various virtualization products out there are starting to merge on some standards on how things are done... [04:05] residentgrey, make sure you have latest os patches and use latest virtualbox [04:05] that's what I did, or at least the latest version available off synaptic [04:05] i can do a directed scan of a mount using clamav, correct ? [04:05] im still runnning xubuntu 9.10 [04:06] yea, the OSE doesn't have USB and some of the headless crap didn't work... [04:06] ok [04:06] so, I went with the other one...

Only then turn to recovering files on your partitions. [04:14] bullgard4: i've been unable to fix the partition table [04:17] hi [04:17] rozwell: is the beginning of the ext4 partition in the correct spot? do you get some error about partition size being smaller than ext4 filesystem when trying to mount? [04:18] hey fellows [04:19] does anyone here know if there is any launcher/taskbar/panel/whatever except gnome-panel with the window picker applet that allows for a single-icon tabbed interface similar to the gnome-panek/window-picker-applet one? [04:19] gnome-panel is getting on my nerves, but i cant seem to find ANY replacement [04:19] Topy44, like WindowMaker ? [04:19] thune3: i get an error about the partition size being larger than the physical size [04:20] can someone help me, I am attempting to use clamav, on a pulled drive [from a non-working XP system] [04:20] profxavier, you want to scan a window box ? [04:20] i have ran clamscan, but does it also do removal, as well as detection? [04:20] maginot, drive, not box [04:21] pofxavier: you'll need to mount the drive first, then scan it.

See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [04:21] maginot: no... its kinda hard to explain. what i want is one icon per window, with the rest of the free space used for the titlebar (window title and close button), and no window decorations for maximized programs (maximus does that nicely) [04:21] but does it do removals as well ? [04:21] imho, maximus and the window-picket-applet are an absolutely BRILLIANT combination [04:21] rozwell: did you write anything into the space after the resized ext4 partition? [04:21] or repairs... [04:21] can you see the drive with df-h? [04:21] Topy44, just make it smaller and select the group option [04:22] rsouthard, yes [04:22] ofcourse [04:22] i wouldn't be scanning it currently [04:22] if it wasn't there... [04:22] thune3: i'm not sure what you mean, but i'm not sure of the sequence of events that led to its being in this state [04:22] maginot: window maker doesnt allow for a panel as such at all afaik, and no titlebar replacement thingy [04:23] profxavier, see this is of any help http://maketecheasier.com/remove-windows-viruses-with-linux/2010/02/02 [04:23] thune3: but i do know that every tool i've tried to run on it to try and rebuild the partitions table has failed miserably === lor\away is now known as lor [04:23] rozwell, site is down [04:23] do you have any fonts by default in .fonts ? [04:23] I think I deleted that folder :( [04:24] Topy44, I don't understand you... you want a panel, why not use a doc like avant-window-manager or cairo dock ? [04:27] * profxavier waits... patiently :D [04:27] yeah its really hard to explain... look at this: http://tunginobi.spheredev.org/images/window_picker_applet_ss_01.png [04:28] the icons on the top left, right of the seperator, are the open windows, beside it is the title of the currently active window with a close button, essentially serving as a titlebar [04:29] another screenshot using it: http://i34.tinypic.com/24lsy38.jpg [04:30] Topslack, I like this http://lifehacker.com/359571/use-an-os-x+style-global-menu-in-ubuntu [04:30] Topy44: aren't you supposed to use that with Maximus? [04:30] and use a dock, so it works like mac os x, kind of what you have =P [04:30] what editor is that btw? [04:30] Random832: i do (but you can still have non-maximized windows) [04:31] i thought non-maximized windows don't show up in it though [04:32] (note that those are not my screenshots, they are randomly pulled off the web) === lor is now known as lor\away [04:33] Random832: it works nicely without maximus, you can even remove window decorations entirely, though you need to use a patch for the window picker applet to work correctly with non-maximized windows [04:33] maginot: yes, what i want is SIMILAR to the mac concept, but instead of the menubar i have the titlebar in the panel [04:34] so... icon, title and close button (and i can doubleclick it to maximize or just click the icon to minimize) [04:34] let me make a screenshot of my netbook (which is where i use it, it saves a lot of screenspace on its tiny 800x480 screen) === brother is now known as ry22 [04:38] http://www.t44.org/Screenshot.png [04:38] essentially, i want to duplicate exactly that, but with a more powerful panel, as gnome-panel is buggy and limited, and doesnt have some applets i'd like [04:42] Allright, back to the problem... 2 broken packages (vlc and vlc-nox) can someone help? [04:42] isn't it one or the other for that? === BlackKangDown is now known as Flomaster === administrator is now known as Guest35920 [04:44] is there a program that I can install to locally load an imap server?

[04:46] Izimucs: I am using ubuntu, 10.04 with software sources of 10.10 [04:47] rallias: ...that's a generally bad idea [04:47] my adobe flash keeps dying [04:47] RobertSaganek_: Um, how exactly? [04:47] theadmin: i know but i feel i am enough of a geek that i thought it was necessary for me [04:47] and didn't have a spare cd [04:47] rallias: Evolution will connect via imap to google.. [04:47] adobe flash plug in... when i'm on any site and try to go full screen it dies [04:48] rallias: you can also load up thunderbird or kmail [04:48] rallias: You could have ran "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" to get updated to Maverick from Lucid [04:48] Izimucs: I want to be able to load it on a local machine and load it through a local network and download stuff [04:49] theadmin: i tried to find that out, and now i suppose i probibilly know [04:49] rallias: you mean have one machine connect to the imap server and then use other machines in the LAN to pull the same data? [04:49] izinucs: yes [04:49] izinucs: i only have 10 gb of data transfer left [04:50] rallias: that's one of the beauties of imap.. you don't need a central location to pull data.. you can set each machine to connect to the same imap server without interfearing with each other. [04:50] rallias: ah.. [04:51] izinucs: between porn and linux, i use up my 250 gb a month pretty easily [04:51] rallias: perhaps what you want is to actually pop the server instead of imap (with one machine) then get access to the same data from other machines... [04:52] izinucs: i know what i want to do i want as many of the necessary network services to be localnet as possible [04:52] Hola [04:52] rallias: ok.. sorry I don't have a solution for you.. maybe someone else will. [04:52] AntonioX: English please. Espanol - #ubuntu-es [04:53] is this the place where I can get some help? [04:53] Izinucs: what is the standard imap server for ubuntu? [04:53] AntonioX: If it's related with Ubuntu, then yes. [04:53] YES!!! [04:53] I am in the right place [04:54] Well, I have a little problem [04:54] hm... turns out there ARE replacements for the window-picker-applet - unfortunately, they are also for the gnome panel :( [04:54] !ask | AntonioX [04:54] AntonioX: 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. :-) [04:54] AntonioX: Please ask everything in one message - it gets messed up otherwise [04:55] does anyone know a good guide to the commands that are in the IMAP standard? [04:55] I have an USB CD/DVD Burner that when I conect to my machine Ubuntu detects it and everything looks fine [04:55] AntonioX: Well and? [04:55] but When I insert a blank CD it disapears [04:55] AntonioX: That's about right [04:56] Right? [04:56] how? === mac-mini1 is now known as Guest96204 [04:56] AntonioX: Run "CD/DVD Burner" from Applications -> Sound and Video ("Multimedia" as translated in some languages, e.g. russian) and use that to burn the disc [04:56] I do not have it as an option in Brasero === STiK is now known as BlackDroidX [04:58] Brasero only wants to do cd images [04:58] AntonioX: Oh... Then this is actually weird [04:59] Yep Nero gives me Other Weird messages [04:59] AntonioX: Normally it dissapears because it doesn't recognize the filesystem on the disc - for there is none - so it can't mount it... Nero? Isn't that for Windows? [05:00] yes but there are 2 versions for linux [05:00] Nero 3 and 4 (lastest) [05:01] connect #symfony [05:01] which command can i test the tune in grub 2 play tune? === BlackDroidX is now known as STiK [05:02] #symfony [05:02] Gah, sorry, I have a lame connection and it ping-time-outed me [05:02] someone familiar with udev... can you help me overriding a specific udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/70-printers.rules so that it doesn't pick up a certain usb id and do anything with it?

[05:04] like whats the package name :p [05:08] Is it possible to use kdm to log in to Gnome session? I'm planning to set up a multiseat but the the new gdm doesn't seem to support multisessions but kdm does. The problem is that I don't want to use KDE as desktop environment. I qant the default Gnom desktop. [05:08] realubot, yeah there should be a dropdown menu somewhere on there [05:08] I originally installed kubuntu and then ubuntu-desktop for gnome, and I was able to get into gnome :) [05:09] whats the default password for user cyrus for the cyrus server? [05:10] realubot: Yes, KDM can log in to GNOME, KDE and (with a bit of bugs) XFCE [05:10] I have a problem formatting a USB flash drive - when I plug the drive in it shows under "My Computer" (or whatever it's called in gnome), and I can see the device in Disk Utility but it shows as having no volumes. When I try to format the device (with any partition scheme) I get the same error message: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found" - I've tried on a windows machine as well with no success [05:10] - is the USB flash drive dead? [05:10] (it displays the "Xfce4" menu option twice) [05:11] Clinteger: Ok, nice to know. Thanks. [05:11] testing [05:12] theadmin: Will there be any problem (due to bugs ir something) to use KDM as login window for Gnome? [05:12] btw, any ideas why slim wont work on my netbook? i tried it on a vm and it works perfectly. but my netbook just hangs at "Starting X display manager: slim" [05:12] realubot: Nope, worked before and it worked very well [05:12] theadmin: Will it somehow affect the "stability" of Gnome? [05:12] realubot: Nah. [05:13] whats the command line command that changes a users password? [05:13] realubot: afaik, you cant shut down the computer from gnome directly anymore, you have to log out and choose shutdown from kdm. at least it used to be that way. [05:13] rallias: passwd [05:13] rallias: sudo passwd USERNAME [05:13] rallias: passwd [05:13] theadmin: Ok, this is very good news because I plan to use kdm to start multisession X on my multiseat configuration. It won't work using the new gdm, I think. [05:13] thanks [05:13] Topy44: Huh. Well, it worked fine on Jaunty [05:13] oh ok.. i havent used it that way in many years [05:14] realubot: It wouldn't work with old GDM either... gdm never supported multisessions :/ [05:14] theadmin: Ok, but if that is the only problem then I can learn to live with that. [05:14] ah, indeed, it was implemented in 2007 :) i am somewhat out of date [05:15] realubot: ignore what i said :) [05:15] theadmin: Ok, but I have found som patches for getting it to work using gdm 2.20. [05:15] what does this mean, [drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* radeon: couldn't schedule IB(14). [05:15] theadmin: Originally I planned to use XDMCP but there seem to be some security issues due to using that Display Manger. [05:15] another problem: when booting my netbook, it hangs for a long time (about a minute) at "getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" [05:16] i have no idea what that means [05:16] Topy44: Ok, I will. :) [05:16] and internet searches were... inconclusive. [05:16] realubot: I'm unsure what is the GDM version Ubuntu uses actually, and applying patches means recompiling from source [05:16] kassah: i think you need to put a rule at the top of the file that matches your device, and have the action be to goto a label at the end of the file. Beginning something like: SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="041e", ATTR{idProduct}=="4130",GOTO="end_printer_config" and then have line at the end: LABEL="end_printer_config" [05:16] Topy44: It means that it can't get "pwuid_r" whatever that is for user "root" [05:16] I cannot Burn CD Brazero program I can Only do Image Files, the cdrom with a blan CD its not shown. [05:16] With Nero I get the following error [05:16] from command I type: [05:16] root@uSER-netbook:/home/USERNAME# sudo nero [05:16] (nero:3962): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_valist: construct property "type" for object `NeroSplashScreen' can't be set after construction [05:16] AntonioX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:16] (nero:3962): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_label_set_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LABEL (label)' failed [05:17] sorry [05:17] AntonioX: And why on earth do you run nero as root? Don't do zat. [05:17] thune3, thanks... will give that a try... brb [05:17] theadmin: Ok, well, I will stick to kdm. That was what the multiseat tutorial suggested: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX [05:18] * Clinteger is removing all of kubuntu-desktop [05:18] What are the big difference between kdm and gdm really? [05:18] http://duanguangjie.com/phpman/index.php/man/pwuid/0 <== aha! now i know... nothing. :) [05:18] realubot: ...everything [05:18] theadmin: Ok, it looks almost the same to me. :) [05:18] Could you please explain... [05:18] realubot: its really just that: gdm uses a basic gnome for the login screen, kdm a basic kde [05:18] how do I set key bindings for alternate buttons on my mouse? [05:18] I mean, you can choose user and login to your account. :S [05:18] ZAP? Root (admin)? [05:19] what is ZAP? [05:19] Topy44: Okay... I guess it's claiming it can't find the password entry for root... Run this: "sudo usermod -p '!' root" [05:19] Sorry I am new with Ubuntu [05:19] nevermind i think i found it [05:19] theadmin: indeed i didnt set a root pw [05:19] is it possible to have "Thunderbird Shredder" access a "Standard Unix mbox spool" mail account such as the one each user has in their home folder ? [05:20] AntonioX: Zapping is killing X and restarting it. Can be done by hitting Alt+PrtSc+K or (in some desktops) Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [05:20] Well, thanks guys (and girls). This is exciting. I hope that I get this multisession working. [05:21] By the way, why isn't Gnome having the multisession option? Is there any special reason to avoid it or hasn't the gdm been developed that much yet? [05:22] AntonioX: root user is the superuser, the admin, whatever - it's allowed to do everything. However under no circumstances should you log in as root directly, use "sudo COMMAND" to run commands as admin (Or "gksu COMMAND" to run graphical applications as admin) [05:22] theadmin: interesting... i still get the error, but it no longer hangs - in fact, it just accelerated boot time by about 60 seconds, which is amazing :) [05:22] Ok let me see it I get it, I do ZAP, and I do not run Nero as a root.... Right? [05:22] (though i just installed a different kernel, MIGHT be related to that too) [05:22] Topy44: Weird. [05:22] hey quick question, im using testdisk and i was wondering if there is a way to figure out the size of a folder that im trying to recover? [05:22] Do I have to removw gdm before I install kdm to get my system use kdm instead of gdm? [05:22] *purge gdm [05:22] my 600mhz netbook now boots in about 20 seconds :) [05:23] hi, im getting an error when i try to log into any non root sesion on my xubuntu box, it says i have some problem with the power manager and that i should contact my system admin. What should I do? [05:23] uh wait... a "fatal error" blinks for a moment during boot. [05:23] let me try to hit pause [05:24] I'm sure this question has been answered more than once, but my Google-fu has failed me tonight... Is there a straightforward way to get one machine to connect to another (both running Lucid) such that the first plays over its speakers that which the second is also playing? like an audio repeater? [05:24] realubot: Once KDM is installed, the system shall ask you which one do you want to use [05:24] hello [05:24] Hola [05:24] alguien de México? :) [05:25] !es | quintanar [05:25] quintanar: 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. [05:25] theadmin: Ok, thanks. [05:25] Ok I get it, I just did what I found in one of the Forums, Sorry!! [05:26] realubot: However if you don't need gdm you'll probably be better off removing it, will free up some disc space [05:26] if im switching from gnome to kde "ubuntu" actually mint but if im switching would the terminal command be to remove gnome sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop [05:26] realubot: But make sure you'll install kdm first [05:26] (something that lets me listen to the music without my husband having to crank up the volume, bascially) [05:26] !purekde | Alazair [05:26] Alazair: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [05:27] omg wtf [05:28] Clinteger: Huh? [05:28] Um [05:28] I have a problem with my cursor themes [05:28] I installed kubuntu and then ubuntu-desktop [just removed all of the kubuntu packages] but my cursors are still weird [05:28] Bleh, I hate it how gnome keeps having "cdrom0" under places when there is actually no such device anymore, since I disconnected it [05:28] before I'd have to set the same theme in the gnome appearance preferences and kde's system settings [05:28] but now there's no kde settings to change it in === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [05:29] did anyone see my question? (from my end, it looks like it may have gotten buried) [05:29] hi, im getting an error when i try to log into any non root sesion on my xubuntu box, it says i have some problem with the power manager and that i should contact my system admin. What should I do? [05:29] !puregnome [05:29] hello [05:29] o.O [05:29] hello [05:29] VanessaE: just repeat it [05:30] Oh ok. [05:30] !removekde | Clinteger [05:30] Clinteger: Want to remove gnome/kde/xfce completely? Look at debfoster, it's a great help [05:30] theadmin, but I also installed xubuntu-desktop too before gnome XD [05:30] wtf... this used to give a command to remove kde [05:30] VanessaE, thers pulse audio [05:30] I'm sure this question has been answered more than once, but my Google-fu has failed me tonight... Is there a straightforward way to get one machine to connect to another (both running Lucid) such that the first plays over its speakers that which the second is also playing? like the audio equivalent of a repeater? [05:30] how do i give myself permission to save a file, I edited imwheelrc to map some buttons in firefox, but I don't have permission to save [05:31] nicxvan: are you trying to save a file outside of your home directory? [05:31] nicxvan: Either be root or chmod/chown the file so that you're allowed to access it [05:31] yes it's in the etc [05:31] nicxvan: You'd need to be root then === WakkaWakka_ is now known as WakkaWakka [05:31] nicxvan: you'll need to make the edits as root, if so. to do that, run "sudo" before the editor command you use, or use "gksudo" if you use a graphical text editor [05:32] theadmin i don't know what that means this is my first day using non windows [05:32] nicxvan: Run either "gksu gedit /etc/yourfile" or "sudo $EDITOR /etc/yourfile" [05:32] nicxvan: so gksudo gedit /etc/... or sudo nano /etc/.... [05:32] nicxvan, save the file somewhere else like in your home directory, then 'sudo mv' it. [05:32] ok [05:32] thanks [05:32] i'll try [05:32] tranchinh [05:32] VanessaE: check music player daemon or the remote functionality of pulseaudio in client.conf [05:32] (sorry, force of habit to assume you're at a terminal or console) [05:32] hi i am looking for how to uturn off auto config in grub 2 [05:33] violinappren, I don't understand any of this pulseaudio stuff at all [05:33] nicxvan as long as it aska for a pw you should be good to edit in any editor [05:33] * VanessaE looks [05:33] nicxvan: a good and simple CLI editor is nano for instance. So here's an example command I would use "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list" [05:33] it didn't ask for pw [05:33] ok [05:33] let me attempt this [05:33] (everything I found that mentioned pulse looked so complicated as to suggest too much risk of breaking one system or the other) [05:34] VanessaE: mpd is easier to setup [05:34] Gotta learn to use vim someday -_- [05:34] [/offtopic] [05:34] theadmin, nano ftw :) [05:35] wow, 10.04 doesnt even include pidgin-otr in the repos? [05:35] what is the deal with that? [05:35] I got it thanks [05:35] MokoN00b: The "OTR Messaging" plugin is now a part of "pidgin-plugin-pack" package [05:35] let me check that [05:36] well my edit didn't work, but i was able to save the file, now i jsut have to figure out how to make it accept the extra buttons on my mouse [05:36] hm, mpd is out. This has to be transparent to the PC that's playing the music (and no, I'm not trying to snoop :-) ) [05:36] that would be nice if that package existed [05:36] how does one do this via pulse? does it work like a shoutcast stream? [05:37] Hm, me's wondering how to make X transparent :D would be like in movies bout hackers, console under desktop etc [05:37] okay... the error message says: "FATAL: Error inserting ramzswap (/lib/modules/2.6.34-60-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/ramzswap/ramzswap.ko): Unkown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" [05:37] VanessaE: I use pulseaudio for this and it's rather simple. You use paprefs to enable networking functionality in the machine with speakers, copy ~/.pulse-cookie from the remote machine to the local one, edit client.conf in the local machine and set the server-name to the remote machine [05:37] there are several pidgin packages, but "pidgin-plugin-pack" is not one of them [05:37] okay... the error message says: "FATAL: Error inserting ramzswap (/lib/modules/2.6.34-60-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/ramzswap/ramzswap.ko): Unkown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" [05:37] Topy44: That seems like a kernel bug... Run "ubuntu-bug whatever-kernel-package-you-are-using" to report [05:37] hey,can anyone help me with gnomenu? [05:38] !ask | elric [05:38] MokoN00b: It's here for me... Hm... Maybe it's in Pidgin PPA. [05:38] elric: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:38] is there a way to get those ugly black and white systray icons to be replaced by the former color ones? [05:38] theadmin now that i'm done how do I exit root powers, just by closing the editor? [05:38] nicxvan: Yeah lol [05:39] well, the pidgin-plugin-pack is not in the ubuntu repos [05:39] i didn't know if there was a way to continue viewing the file w/o being able to edit it [05:39] nicxvan: I usually explain sudo as something like UAC to Windows users... they understand it better this way [05:39] im running off of the install disk [05:39] well,when its not running in awn,so when i try to run GnoMenu.py run-in-window [05:39] MokoN00b: if you find an answer... i was wondering about that too :) [05:39] it gives an a long traceback [05:39] violinappren: by "remote machine" i mean the one with speakers (that will act as a server.) if you're running a firewall on the remote machine, it has to allow conntections on port tcp/4713 [05:39] though my current desktop is rather monochrome [05:39] thanks [05:39] VanessaE: ^ [05:40] this is kinda fun [05:40] btw (i know the dangers) would this be a correct line for sudoers file? "%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD ALL" (not sure where do i stick the "NOPASSWD" bit) [05:40] okay [05:40] violinappren, ok, and when this is done I basically have two machines playing the same audio? [05:40] they removed the keyboard switcher applet [05:41] (just making sure I understand what I'm about to do) [05:41] i expected that [05:41] because ibus is supposed to supercede that [05:41] MokoN00b: It appears in the notification area now when you have multiple layouts [05:41] theadmin: Ok, but I have 500GB of disc space, will gdm really need several GB? [05:41] VanessaE: you'll have the local machine (say a laptop) forwarding all it's audio to the remote machine (with intended speakers) merged with its own audio [05:41] but it doesnt seem to have alternate layouts for, say, spanish [05:41] i was expecting that [05:42] realubot: I dunno how much does it take. Hey, you can't have too much disk space, unless you're Google [05:42] violinappren, ah.. that's not what I wanted to do. :) [05:42] but it only has languages that require special IMs [05:42] instead, here's the idea: [05:42] theadmin: Well... I'm... google. [05:42] theadmin: NOT. [05:42] hi i am looking for how to turn off auto config in grub 2 [05:42] realubot: :D [05:42] Hello folks [05:43] so i can edit the grub entries [05:43] Would you please tell me where I can have the installation folder of Google Chrome :) [05:43] theadmin: Well, the most important thing is that this setup will work using kdm as dm to my multiseat configuration. [05:43] !grub2 | its-me-again [05:43] its-me-again: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:43] I have one user in the other room sitting at his PC playing music the usual way. I'm in the front room on my laptop (as it so happens), and I want said laptop to connect to his PC and "tap into" that audio he's listening to so I can hear it in my laptop's (puny) speakers. [05:43] so, if it is supposed to replace the functionality of the keymap switching applet, where are the options for other key mappings? [05:44] but only on demand, e.g. if I point my music player at some URL or another [05:44] and for chinese, where is support for the chewing input method? [05:44] Hrm... now that the system is configured to use Google's DNS servers, it goes a lot faster with torrents. Interesting [05:44] !ibus | MokoN00b [05:44] MokoN00b: IBus is used to allow input of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) characters in !GUI applications - See also: !SCIM [05:44] yeah, well, i just expected ibus to support all of the scim modules [05:45] why shouldnt it? [05:45] VanessaE: i think this can be achieved using a combination of pacat/parecord and ssh tunneling [05:45] theadmin: If you have time to, do you think this tutorial will work having a HDMI -> TV and a DVI -> computer display connected using mobo integrated graphics? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX [05:45] its just a more generic version of SCIM that is supposed to include keyboard mapping switching as well [05:45] ahhh [05:45] realubot: Uh... No idea on how to do that, sorry [05:46] realubot: I'm pretty noob myself, just 2 years or so [05:46] it was, according to the ibus page, supposed to simplify things [05:46] theadmin: Ok, ok, I'll have to try it out myself then, [05:46] Thanks anyway. [05:46] not make me go looking somewhere else for things [05:47] Where is the installation directory of Chrome can be found? [05:47] xfact, locate chromium [05:47] MokoN00b, whats your issue? [05:47] xfact: Linux apps don't install to a single directory you know :D [05:47] airtonix: Chrome != Chromium [05:47] well, there is an ibus-chewing package [05:48] i should have checked that first [05:48] !enter | MokoN00b [05:48] MokoN00b: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[06:28] antonio2: hmm Antonix left? darn, i had a solution i tihnk for his prob, mount cd as wav files using cdfs or cdemu [06:28] EvilTrek: /etc/ssh [06:28] Does anyone have any suggestions re sudo mplayer on rightclick in nautilus ?? [06:28] jhaluska: can you pastebin lspci -k [06:28] <_genuser_> bouma: trying to get nautilus to remember to play using mplayer? [06:29] ultraz, unlikely since I'm on a seperate computer and I can't get online with the other one, but let me go run it. [06:29] Can someone please tell me the path to the ubuntu one client, my icon is missing? [06:29] _genuser_: i can do that, its doing it niced to -20 [06:29] bouma: you can make a shell script in ~/bin that launches mplayer and renices it [06:29] jhaluska: doble check if kernel module/driver is loaded for your network card. [06:29] violinappren: what flags would i put on the script ? 7455 ? [06:30] bouma: flags ? do you mean permissions? just chmod +x it [06:30] <_genuser_> bouma: wait you can force nautilus to launch a media player that's not totem? [06:30] wage, you may get better help in #ubuntuone [06:30] violinappren: and what do i used to transfer the argument external to the script (the fn) into the 1st arg of mplayer inside the script (sorry dont know much bash) [06:30] abhi_nav: thanks [06:31] join #ubuntuone [06:31] wage, :) [06:31] _genuser_: mine is set to launch mplayer when opening media/video files. [06:31] vbox, type /j #ubuntuone [06:31] <_genuser_> ultraz: and how did you actually accomplish that? [06:31] violinappren: but when the sudo requires me to type the password it wont receive the pw and will hang/timeout [06:31] violinappren: silent timeout [06:31] bouma: then use gksu [06:31] ultraz: It mentions the nvidia MCP61 ethernet and seems to load forcedeth [06:32] _genuser_: right click on video file, and go to open with tab. [06:32] _genuser_: put there which app you want to open those type of files. [06:32] violinappren: hrm, ok. i accept this is more secure, but can i do it in a reasonably secure but automatic way that doesnt require the root pw every right click on a movie ?? [06:32] violinappren: likea suid script that cant be edited by userac? [06:33] <_genuser_> bouma: in the script $1 refers to the first argument passed to script. You can pass that to mplayer. [06:33] violinappren: well i guess i'll google suid scripts then. thanks [06:33] jhaluska: what is forcedeth? [06:33] _genuser_: cheers [06:33] ultraz: die now dammit i mean it kill -9 [06:33] <_genuser_> ultraz: that never works on any of hte gnome installation I have used. Right click video file, select mplayer or say use custom command, check box so it will remember it. and next double click file, it launches with totem again. [06:34] ultraz: It mentions it under that ethernet line about kernel module and driveer. [06:34] I'm really wishing the other computer was closer. lol [06:34] bouma: i don't think suid can help you since it will run everything as root, including mplayer [06:34] <|jonathan|> help me [06:34] <_genuser_> jhaluska: if you have wifi adapter usb one, just plug it in, then ssh to it. [06:34] _genuser_: I have successfuly used that method to launch vlc for long time, and in the past few months with mplayer. [06:35] _genuser_: I might have one floating around, let me check. [06:35] <_genuser_> ultraz: that's weird. I have never gotten it to work. I have ended up doing ln -sf to link mplayer under totem name to fool it [06:35] violinappren: hrm, thats a shame, but .. darn. have there ever been bufferoverruns exploited in mplayer w/root [06:35] bouma: you could use pkexec instead of gksu and thus the password will be cached for a while [06:35] might i get some help in here? the wine people are just not answering ! i tottaly dont get why wine is not working for me. [06:35] qustion: http://pastebin.com/CSBznJ7j [06:35] |jonathan|: ask a question... [06:35] _genuser_: odd indeed. [06:35] <_genuser_> ultraz: oh well. at least it works with the hack. [06:36] sorry to ask a dumb win question but which is the least insecure version of windows? i have only used fedora and ubuntu for last 5 yrs so i have no idea [06:36] I have a random PCI ethernet card I can try putting in from another computer, should I try that first? [06:36] violinappren: in policykit-1 [06:36] _genuser_: yeah that will do it. [06:36] maybe write a script that you run as root to launch mplayer as a normal user with su, pause a second, then renice it as root [06:36] i need the least hassle for my mother-in-laws machine [06:36] <_genuser_> BryanWB_: win7. [06:36] brb [06:36] jhaluska: you could do that. It wont hurt. [06:36] ? [06:36] <|jonathan|> Loshki dude i wanna use a usb edge modem with wvdial and i configured but when i type wvdial in terminal it says Modem is not responding.. that mean i cannot connect to internet [06:37] _genuser_, tks, if i lived in the same town i would install ubuntu but i live far far away [06:37] <_genuser_> BryanWB_: xp is pretty cool also. keep in mind to follow same security rules as linux. create user with user only permission for daily use [06:37] _genuser_, yeah, i will definitely lock down her user acct [06:37] VanessaE: VanessaE, does the pause have to transfer out of the 1st script so as not to be running as root, and so run nice aswell as mplayer as root? [06:37] BryanWB_: If you do a bit of configuring so everything is working, ex: flash, java...etc. Ubuntu would be just as good of a choice. As long as they don't have admin rights to mess with the FS. [06:37] i will soon have an e-book reader and was wondering if there is software compatible with ubuntu i don't have the reader yet it's on order? [06:38] |jonathan|: I dunno much about usb modems. Does wvdial have a verbose mode where you can see it issue comnands to the modem? [06:38] <_genuser_> teach them the sudo equivalent for when installing stuff. Right-click, run as admin and then create them a separate user with admin priv. XP will be better in that. Vista has issues where exes can install themselves in user's appdata folder on c:\ drive and run. [06:38] bouma, I was thinking you could try to put it all in one script, use su within to drop root privileges just long enough to launch mplayer [06:38] <|jonathan|> Loshki what is verbose mode? [06:38] wvdial, when run from a term, will show what's being sent to the modem [06:38] been a while since I did that [06:38] _genuser_, but she is 68 and _struggling_ to learn XP [06:38] USB modems are pain in the ars. [06:39] <_genuser_> BryanWB_: perfect time to just teach her another thing. It can be hard for the generation that didn't start off with technology [06:39] _genuser_, tks for your help, I am off [06:39] Hi All, Can I use my old home directory as Home directory When I install a fresh installation ?? [06:39] <_genuser_> BryanWB_: have fun. [06:40] |jonathan|: never mind. Do you know for a fact the modem is supported? [06:40] <|jonathan|> Loshki i dont know wheter it is supported or not [06:40] <|jonathan|> becoz the modem is not responding [06:41] bouma, so the script might contain something to the effect of: #!/bin/bash ; su username -c mplayer & pid=$!; sleep 1; renice 19 $pid [06:41] and you'd run that as root (or use gksu[do]) [06:41] The PCI network card fixed the internet for now (so at least now he won't kill me) [06:41] what kinda modem is the USB modem - is it a 3g modem? [06:41] When I boot Ubuntu from my USB drive, it doesn't work. It either stays at the loading screen for an extremely long time or goes to some weird console screen and doesn't let me input anything. [06:41] I verified all md5sums. [06:41] Even the files on the usb. [06:41] I'll fix the other integrated card when I'm not exhausted. [06:41] Just need to fix sound real quick I hope. [06:41] of course with my luck, that won't work. :) === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [06:42] |jonathan|: do you know the model number of the modem. Maybe we can google it? [06:42] <|jonathan|> Loshki yeah i do [06:42] |jonathan|: tell us... [06:42] according to what i read the e-book reader uses Montavista OS and says it's not compatible with linux and i have to find 3rd party software [06:42] |jonathan|, Is this a USB 3g modem? [06:42] do bear in mind that if you set mplayer's priority too high it could easily overshadow X and everything else enough to lock you out if it crashes or hangs [06:42] hi [06:42] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder no usb edge modem [06:43] |jonathan|, If you have a term open, and you run "wvdialconf" => does it find or configure the modem? [06:43] <|jonathan|> Loshki vodafone MD950 II usb card [06:43] hi all [06:43] i am not been able to use emerald plz help error Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks", [06:44] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder i did that and it says tht the modem is not responding [06:44] i have a windows ntfs partition which i am trying to share on lan(some folders in it). But when i right click and share it shows in other persons pc . But when they try to access it , it says cannot mount location [06:44] pleas ehelp [06:45] what kinda permission do they need [06:45] Hi all, can I reuse Home directory from my old installation when I install a fresh installation? [06:45] is there a simple way to edit grub 2. the default setup that is generates is rong and i cant edit grub.cfg according to what i read. i just need some basic pointers in the right direction [06:46] |jonathan|, Remove the modem, delete the /etc/wvdial.conf that was created => check the /etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf to see if the module for that USB modem is being "blacklisted" -> you can also plug it in, then wait a tick, click System => Administration => Hardware Drivers => see if that picks up the modem/driver/module... [06:46] brijithmac: yes bt you need to first rename teh /home folder [06:46] I need help in math ! [06:46] anyone [06:47] first i did a guest access [06:47] i am having a problem with anonymous ftp server -- (vsftp) everyone OUTSIDE the lan can access it fine, but if a LAN ip accesses it, it asks for userid/pass, and it doesn't work. What should I check/set? [06:47] and without it i am trying to enter my username and password of login [06:47] but to no avail [06:47] i noticed with x chat i have like 8 tabs open when im on the left 4 the ticks of the tabs are low and as i click though tabs left to right they get louder,.... [06:47] its not even accepting my login username and password as samba [06:47] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder okk wait [06:47] authentication [06:48] any ideas [06:48] Spyzer, Check the sharing setup in the /etc/samba/smb.conf [06:48] anybody got any good ideas for podcasting sites? want something free and something where i can podcast once every week [06:48] but what to do with it [06:48] |jonathan|: I don't see any decent hits when searching for 'ubuntu vodafone MD950 II usb card'. That's a bad sign... [06:48] Spyzer: are you trying to access the ntfs partition on your ubuntu box from a winbox? [06:48] <|jonathan|> Loshki yeah [06:48] brijithmac: you can but i would not === mac-mini1 is now known as Guest91819 [06:49] anybody got any good ideas for podcasting sites? want something free and something where i can podcast once every week [06:49] |jonathan|, Is that the actual model of the modem? You sure it's not like a Huwei or similar? [06:49] is there a simple way to edit grub 2. the default setup that is generates is rong and i cant edit grub.cfg according to what i read [06:49] greezmunkey: yes [06:49] nitstorm: jusintv.com? [06:49] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder yah its the actual modem [06:49] greezmunkey: may u help me in that [06:50] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder my problem is my modem is not responding ..what might be the reason for this... [06:50] |jonathan|, Found one...from 2007...

I've never used one though, sorry... [06:50] |jonathan|, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/353255-vodafone-md-950-usb-card-modem-for-internet-connection/ === C2_ is now known as C2 [06:51] Spyzer: are you running samba server? If so, you can run sudo smbpasswd to add a new samba user to your system. There are other things you can do in smb.conf, but try smbpasswd for now. [06:51] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder my modem is a usb modem and its a plug and play device [06:51] greezmunkey: Could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [06:52] |jonathan|: in windows it's called: prug and pray [06:52] |jonathan|, Yes. This is understood. Ahem. Meanwhile, did you download/install usb-modeswitch and run that yet? [06:52] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder no whats that [06:52] <|jonathan|> Blue1 ohh i see :D [06:52] <|jonathan|> Blue1 this ubuntu making me praying all the time [06:52] <|jonathan|> :D [06:53] |jonathan|: unfortunately I have no experience with usb modems - sorry [06:53] hi all [06:53] Spyzer: why are you trying to access 127.0.0.1 ? [06:53] its-me-again: you can edit it, but the changes will get overwritten whenever there is a kernel change. If you can put up with that inconvenience, it's fine to edit grub.cfg. As for simple ways to edit grub 2 config, not really, it can vary from a simple edit to needing to be really good at bash scripting to figure out... [06:53] no no i got it [06:53] now [06:53] |jonathan|, Install usb-modeswitch. Firstly. After that is installed, try using lsusb to make sure the modem is showing up. After that, re-try using wvdialconf to generate a dialing configuration for this modem. [06:53] <|jonathan|> Blue1 i know.. thats why im having the problem lol [06:54] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder how can i install usb-modeswithch .. i dont hav internet in ubuntu u know [06:54] |jonathan|: some times you wonder if the S in usb really means screwed [06:54] how to remove proxy in synaptic packet manager [06:55] |jonathan|, Download it on the machine that you're on. Transfer it then to the machine you want to run it on. Easy. [06:55] <|jonathan|> Blue1 yah but only for Ubuntu its sexy for windows :P [06:55] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder allright gimme the link where can i download it from and tell me how to install it === DaZ^ is now known as DaZ [06:55] |jonathan|, What version of Ubuntu?

Just get the usb-modeswitch .DEB, copy it to the other machine, install it, then re-run the wvdialconf program. [07:08] VanessaE: hmm you could compile one.. but I remember before using pulseaudio i achieved something like that using merely alsa (to record sound and pipe it on ssh to aplay) but the sound quality was bad [07:09] hi all, can I reuse Home directory from my old installation when I install a fresh installation? [07:09] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder can u gimme a link where i click and it will start downloading plz [07:09] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder otherwise i dont undersand anything [07:09] xenogia [07:10] |jonathan|, Um...serious?

Then install it. Then, as root (or use sudo), run it. [07:11] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder tell me how to install it :P [07:12] |jonathan|, double-click it. [07:12] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder dowble click will install it? then what to do after installation [07:13] hi all, can I reuse Home directory from my old installation when I install a fresh installation? [07:13] |jonathan|, As I said, install it. In a terminal, then run (as root or with sudo) usb-modeswitch and after that, you run wvdialconf again to re-generate the /etc/wvdial.conf => see if that wakes the modem up and makes wvdial access it properly. [07:14] brijithmac reuse means? [07:14] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder how to install it in terminal :P [07:14] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder what should i type in terminal to install it [07:15] abhi_nav: I want use the same old home folder in the new installation [07:15] |jonathan|, dpkg -i PACKAGENAME.deb [07:15] <|jonathan|> okk [07:15] brijithmac, if /home is in different partition then yes you can [07:16] abhi_nav:yes its separate partition [07:16] brijithmac, and tell be both your os old and the new you want to install? [07:16] VanessaE: http://www.earth.li/~noodles/blog/2009/02/recording-application-sound-ou.html but instead of a file name you could use - (stdout) and piple over ssh to aplay [07:17] s/piple/pipe [07:17] abhi_nav: I just want to install 10.04, I am now using 9.10 [07:17] brijithmac, yes you can do it. [07:17] is there some reason that the ibus-xkbc package doesnt exist for ubuntu? [07:17] abhi_nav: But I have adoubt ? [07:18] brijithmac, yes? [07:18] abhi_nav:In the home folder there will be many hidden configuration files [07:18] abhi_nav:right ?? [07:18] brijithmac, yes they may cause conflict - 'may' [07:19] abhi_nav:So when I install new there is a chance of conflicting ... [07:19] brijithmac, 'may' be [07:19] brijithmac, one e.g. firefox ./mozilla files also note that i never tried this. and note the use work 'may' :D [07:20] Hi! I'm doing a fresh install of my ubuntu - what's the best way to transfer my mysql databases? Just mysqldump, or is there a better way (copying the database storage files directly, or such)? [07:20] ubuntu 10.04 is fantastic [07:20] great work [07:20] <|jonathan|> HashCheck yeah works great with usb modems :D [07:20] <|jonathan|> super work [07:21] HashCheck, Thanks - I worked hard on putting it together. :) [07:21] abhi_nav:ok What if I remove all the folders and file which starts with (DOT) [07:21] abhi_nav:can I avoid conflicts by this way ?

Why do I have to manually set my audio to microphone? why doesn't it detect this and automatically turn my speakers off and put sound through the headphones? [07:25] hello i was disconnected [07:25] brijithmac, I am Abhijit. [07:25] Can I safely make /var/log -> /tmp ? [07:25] so all logs get deleted on startup?

Are they getting in your way? Are they causing your existing mouse or keyboard to not function? Are they causing your screen to not display? I'm lost on the question. [07:32] YankDownUnder, they are there without me asking for it - reason enough for me to get rid of them [07:32] ManDay, Um...is this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [07:34] YankDownUnder, no, its autoconfigured by X [07:34] ManDay, Ah. I'm still not sure if I fully comprehend the idea behind what you're saying... [07:36] I have a question? Why do I have to manually set my audio to microphone? why doesn't it detect this and automatically turn my speakers off and put sound through the headphones? [07:37] !sound | Alonea [07:37] Alonea: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[07:38] Alonea, dunno look at that links. [07:39] abhi_nav: oh, I thought you knew or was sending me to pages cause the answer was on one of them. [07:39] Alonea, you may get answer in one of them [07:40] #grub [07:41] abhi_nav: most of it seems to talk about not having audio, but I will look... [07:41] Alonea, hmm [07:42] abhi_nav: and I have sound, I just have to manually change the output device if I ever plug headphones in and if I unplug them, then have to change it back to speakers. [07:44] Where can I find the repo for ubuntu-bug? [07:44] Googling ubuntu-bug is obviously not terribly useful... [07:45] Interesting problem i've got [07:46] Trying to install winxp on a system that has no cd drive and can't boot from usb [07:46] however I have ubuntu installed [07:46] Is it possible to install Winxp from ubuntu? [07:46] able to help me here [07:46] i hve grub 2 problems and the ppl i tak to leave so i get confused [07:47] philips: ubuntu-bug is part of package apport, i'm not sure what you are looking for exactly. [07:47] don't think so mrono. an OS generally has to boot itself from something other from the harddrive as it has to partition it [07:47] mrono: if you had another computer could you do a network install??? [07:48] Alonea: you have any ideas on how to install it on a system with no cd drive? [07:48] mrono: have no idea how to do that though [07:48] Alonea: i do have another one, but I don't know how to do a network install [07:48] Alonea: can you point me in the right place? [07:49] mrono: as I have never done it before, I really can't. maybe try googling it. best bet would be to buy a cheap internal or external drive [07:50] Alonea: any idea on how to do an OEM install [07:50] Alonea: say install it on another computer then change the hard drive? [07:51] mrono: you could try that. install it on the hdd with another computer and swap [07:52] Alonea: I did it before, installed it and swapped and it worked fine, then i wiped it for some reason [07:52] Alonea: tried to reinstall it but it BSOD's when i try to boot [07:53] Alonea: and it works fine in the other one. [07:53] mrono: hmm, are you able to do a windows repair or something? or you may have an incorrect bios setting [07:54] mrono: this thread might help you do a network install though:http://www.netstumbler.org/f48/how-install-windows-2k-xp-over-network-12469/ [07:54] Alonea: only problem is that I have to boot from something to get into repair [07:55] mrono: yeah, see if you can do a network install. otherwise, you can get a cdrom for cheap (Especially internal). if you need external I haven't looked at prices in ages [07:56] !sleep [07:56] http://www.netstumbler.org/f48/how-install-windows-2k-xp-over-network-12469/ [07:56] oops === Termana_ is now known as Termana [07:57] How can I prevent Xorg from hotplugging all sorts of devices? I got inputdevices such as 12: "PATEN USB HID Device " [XExtensionPointer] [07:57] and so forth... [07:58] mrono: i mean, you can get an internal for 25 bucks on newegg. just a plain dvdrom, can probably find cheaper elsewhere if you look [07:58] Alonea: laptop >.< http://www.smartcomputing.com/images/smartcomputing/fullsize/00515550.jpg [07:59] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder [07:59] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder hey the main problem is when i type wvdialconf it says that my modem is not detected [07:59] <|jonathan|> what can i do now [08:00] mrono: yeah, usb externals are 40-50 [08:01] <|jonathan|> where did YankDownUnder go [08:01] |jonathan|: if the modem is usb, do you have "cdrom" device that mounts when you plug it in? [08:01] <|jonathan|> thune3 the modem is usb and i its plug and play device in windows and it doesnt run in ubuntu [08:02] mrono: ya know, there might be someone in #hardware that might be able to explain network installs or in ##windows [08:02] <|jonathan|> i hav cdrom device but the software doesnot support ubuntu [08:02] Alonea: I think I figured it out, just gotta make a small partition bootable into dos so I can get into the second partition that has winxp on it === lyrae is now known as nerdsex [08:02] mrono: alright. good luck! [08:02] Alonea: rather, second partition that has the xp cd install files on it [08:02] Alonea: Thanks, helps to have someone to bounce ideas off of [08:02] |jonathan|: what I mean is: when you plug in the device, does what looks like a drive mount and show up on your desktop? [08:03] mrono: np. I try to help [08:03] <|jonathan|> thune3 no it doesnto show anything on my desktop === nerdsex is now known as decae [08:04] can you plug it in and then pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail -30" [08:04] <|jonathan|> thune3 can u tell me how can i detect my modem in ubuntu [08:05] Hi there. If i set a reasonable limit in /etc/security/limits.conf, who exactly is producing the core dump when a process segfaults? === decae is now known as nerdsex [08:06] <|jonathan|> "dmesg | tail -30" okk allright can i use another modem rather than this one? thune3 [08:06] I mean, some one somewhere is requesting the core file size from PAM (I think?) and then causing a core dump after reading the core file format [08:07] Hi! I started using dd to make a complete backup copy of an USB hd to another USB hd, but overnight my transfer performance has dropped to a grind, and I don't think it'll ever finish. What's wrong, how to fix this? [08:07] |jonathan|: you have no temporary connectivity on the device you are trying to get the modem working with? [08:07] <|jonathan|> thune3 no [08:07] |jonathan|, Wassup... [08:08] Anyone got any pointers for installing dos from USB [08:08] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder f..uped [08:08] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder its says that my modem is not detected when i type wvdialconf in terminal [08:08] I need to get IP 83.150.92.135 to eht0, whit netmask 255.255.255.0 and gw 83.150.92.254. DNS could be google's or so. So what should I command? [08:08] |jonathan|: is the device getting mapped to a tty, that's all I want to know. Did the os detect it as a modem and map it. [you might be able to tell by looking at dmesg output yourself] [08:08] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder so what we have to do is how to detect the modem in ubuntu [08:09] <|jonathan|> thune3 yeah tty and ttyS0 [08:10] |jonathan|, Did you follow the steps that I already gave you, or are you going to make me type them again? [08:10] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder i double clicket the .deb [08:10] <|jonathan|> : [08:10] <|jonathan|> installed [08:10] <|jonathan|> but it doesnt come under internet [08:11] |jonathan|, You've lost me on the last statement. [08:11] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder :| sorry dude :( [08:12] <|jonathan|> :( [08:15] |jonathan|, If nothing is working, next step is to download and install this: https://forge.betavine.net/frs/?group_id=12 [08:15] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder whats this [08:15] !fcm [08:15] fcm is THE Ubuntu Community Magazine - find it at www.fullcirclemagazine.org, or #fullcirclemagazine [08:16] |jonathan|, It's a project called "Vodafone Mobile Connect" - it's a standalone GUI for dealing with USB modems - and for troublesome ones, at that. [08:16] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder which one should i download [08:17] You're obviously going to have to install one that is ubuntu/Debian... [08:17] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder yah from the lsusb i knew that my modem is philips [08:18] |jonathan|, Just don't think about that right now, please. You're thinking off track. [08:18] <|jonathan|> allright [08:18] hi! whats a good app to record screencasts in avi or other formats? tuts... thanks! [08:18] |jonathan|, Download https://forge.betavine.net/frs/download.php/626/vodafone-mobile-connect_2.25.01-1_all.deb [08:19] |jonathan|, I'm going to get coffee. It's freezing here. [08:19] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder allright [08:19] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder ill install it in ubuntu then what should i do [08:20] |jonathan|, Um...what do you think you'd do after you install it...hmm?? Possibly run it? See what it does? See if it recognises your modem ?? :) [08:20] anyone here able to help me out with grub 2 [08:20] <|jonathan|> :D allright YankDownUnder have a nice coffee [08:20] just ask [08:21] its-me-again: [08:21] annaimkonki: can we pm then [08:21] question [08:22] ubuntu 10.04 crashes when trying to open http://b3net.info/music/tetris_loop.mp3 in firefox [08:22] what do i do? [08:22] its-me-again: there are more than enough help out here. maybe i won't be able to tackle your issue [08:22] annaimkonki: i am hwanting to learn how to edit grub 2 menus. os prober does not detect the corect names for ever os i have [08:23] if anyone can help o=i would be appreciated [08:24] ubuntu 10.04 crashes when trying to open http://b3net.info/music/tetris_loop.mp3 in firefox what do i do? [08:24] annaimkonki: do you know [08:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1448978 [08:25] try that... its-me-again [08:26] horkhorkhork: ubuntu crashes? really? is this specific to that mp3 file or all mp3 files? [08:26] havent tried any other files [08:27] horkhorkhork: and by crash you mean what? what are the symptoms? lights flashing on keyboard? === vincent is now known as Guest99261 === Guest99261 is now known as vinc3nt [08:28] black screen with flashing underscore in top left, then is shuts off [08:28] it* [08:30] horkhorkhork, You're saying an MP3 file crashes yer box? [08:30] yeah.. [08:30] makes no sense... [08:30] horkhorkhork, Convert it to an OGG and see if it does the same thing. [08:30] horkhorkhork: for some reason i suspect it is a graphics issue somehow related to the "goom" visual effects in totem that runs. [08:31] its not in totem, its a link online [08:31] horkhorkhork, Convert it to an OGG - that will strip out the external crap. [08:31] ok [08:31] i ran the file horkhorkhork.. seems to work for me.. [08:31] hmmm... [08:32] but then again i have all restricted crapware [08:32] i added the restricted stuffs too. [08:33] would having to use i915.modeset=1 affect anything media related? [08:33] horkhorkhork: /usr/lib/totem/totem-plugin-viewer handles mp3 in firefox by default, and it runs goom visual effects. [08:33] horkhorkhork, Shouldn't - however, if it's got graphics attached to it, possibly. [08:33] horkhorkhork, Try using a different player - like vlc or something...or audacious perhaps... [08:34] i was gonna get vlc soon too... [08:34] horkhorkhork: you could be in 8xx video hell, which some people experience. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [08:35] annaimkonki: that does not look like what i need to do [08:36] a potential solution was found? [08:36] thats awesome [08:36] sorry i couldn't help but thats what i did after updating/removing kernels.. [08:37] so updating the driver might get rid of the problem? [08:37] horkhorkhork: apparently that is only for that particular chipset, the 855gm [08:37] its-me-again: what is your specific problem? [08:38] hi, how to uninstall an application previously installed from a .deb file on lucid? [08:38] Vin73: synaptic package manager [08:39] annaimkonki: the automatic entres in grub 2 are rong in grub.cfg <- i cant edit grub.cfg like the ole grub menu.list. so it frustraighting [08:39] grub 2 makes it hard [08:39] MaRk-I: thanks [08:39] Vin73: it is probably listed in Status view, Installed (local or obsolete) in synaptic [08:39] i tried to create a folder and i got a message saying remaneing .... how can i undo a change like that? i hope i didnt rename a folder over creating one [08:39] Vin73: or you can do in terminal: sudo apt-get remove package_name [08:39] its-me-again: set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub and put your manual entries in /etc/grub.d/40_custom [08:40] thune3: thanks...how do I get the status view? [08:40] Vin: lower left corner, there are buttons [08:40] MaRk-I: how I can I find the package name? [08:41] Vin73: hhmm stick to synaptic then just do "quick search" if you're not sure of the name [08:41] Can someone give me an idea why when I have 2 PC-s with exactly the same network config (same ip,same gateway, same DNS, same MAC) when I plug the cable into the first one there is internet and when I plug it into the second I can't ping even the gateway ? [08:41] thune3: do you mean the lower left corner of synaptec? [08:41] cherva: One likely needs a crossover cable while the other can switch automatically. [08:41] its-me-again: be specific on what you want to do.. do you want to change its appearence? looks? default OS? etc. [08:42] I have a question? Why do I have to manually set my audio to microphone? why doesn't it detect this and automatically turn my speakers off and put sound through the headphones? i have to go to sound pref, output, and choose connector [08:42] Vin73: yes "sections" "STATUS" "origin" in synaptic [08:42] thune3: thanks [08:42] Jordan_U, the cable worked until I restarted the machine today ... so the cable is not a problem [08:42] annaimkonki: ok entries that osprober gets rong [08:43] the generic names that are not corect [08:44] cherva: Can you pastebin the output of "ifconfig" on the machine that isn't working? [08:45] annaimkonki: ubuntu grub 2 uses os-prober. i remember grub 1 ws easy to set up adn use properly [08:47] its-me-again: I've given you the answer twice already...

[08:53] Gm4n, yeah thanks [08:53] cherva: It's possible that the enumeration of your ethernet devices is not stable, so what was previously "eth3" is now something else. In gernal, if you modify output that someone asks for in any way you should note that you have done so to avoid confusion. [08:53] hacked_kernel: What's wrong with wget? [08:53] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder [08:53] <|jonathan|> installed that but [08:54] is there anything wrong with installing the libjson-glib-1.0-0 intrepid package on hardy?

[09:14] manually calling wallpaper.pl works fine [09:14] after WINEPREFIX=~/some.directory wine ' the installer opens then crashes a difficiency in wine. [09:14] I need some help with ICS. I tried the "GUI method" from the link ubottu gives but this leaves me unable to connect to the internet [09:14] how to join the gnome-shell channel , it seems an empty channel, who can tell me [09:14] Ubuntu the newest version it hard crashs [09:14] Deist, what kind of file?

[09:15] |jonathan|, Is it working yet? [09:15] Hi, i have a question about CouchDB, i tried to save severel Contacts via Evolution. Well i didnt work at all because my CouchDB has no Tables. Do i have to create them by my self? [09:15] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder proudly not :D [09:15] Deist, its in your trash [09:15] mike-from-canmor, try to ask your question in one line, use Enter key less, I'm having difficulty to catch your question [09:15] Hi Gryllida, open office and it is version is 3.2 and after few mins in using it , it was crash and give me option to recover last file [09:15] mike-from-canmor: disable the goom visual effects [09:15] no it's not. I emtyd it. [09:15] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder my serial port is not detecting the usb modem [09:15] trijntje. [09:15] egtux, are you able to reproduce the crash? [09:15] |jonathan|, Read the following page CAREFULLY. http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ [09:15] Clinteger: try using perl -e or whatever it is to run it... that might work better. [09:16] ooh ok. [09:16] |jonathan|, Serial ports do not detect USB's mate. They're two different animals. [09:16] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder [09:16] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder then why my modem is not detected by my ubuntu.. [09:16] Gryllida , yes i can [09:16] Deist, if its filling up your HD see what program is throwing all those errors [09:16] <|jonathan|> it seems if someone want to use ubuntu he has to be a scientist [09:16] egtux: what are the steps to reproduce the crash [09:16] ? [09:17] Ok here is the problem I will just be using ubuntu 9.10 and all of a sudden it will freeze up nothing will respond and music or sound will keep repeating over and over in the background, I have to power the system off to fix this problem. It has been happening to me since I started using ubuntu and would like to fix it. So How do I fix this problem, and it also just occured this is it powered up after the crash so how can I [09:17] get a log to diagnose the problem? [09:17] mike-from-canmor: hmm, very specific, did it work in earlier versions of Ubuntu? [09:17] sorry for the run on sentence. [09:17] sorry to repeat , i have a question about CouchDB, i tried to save severel Contacts via Evolution. Well i didnt work at all because my CouchDB has no Tables. Do i have to create them by my self? [09:17] trijntje, I can't really find what file causing the fillup anymore. The new x-session-errors is like 17 kb... [09:17] mike-from-canmor: it is OK :D [09:17] Gryllida , just click recover file it take a few few seconeds to complete then open it [09:17] |jonathan|, There are several reasons why it might NOT be detected - bad design of the hardware is one... [09:18] mike-from-canmor: that sounds like a hard freeze, most likely there will be no logs (if the caps lock key doesn't flip the caps lock indicator for instance). You might be helped by upgrade to a later ubuntu (10.04) where the kernel doesn't have your problem, but it might also be a hw problem. [09:18] How do I automaticly accept host key when connecting to a server with SSH for the first time? [09:18] Yes this occured in all versions I have had installed on this computer from 7.10 up to 9.10 [09:18] I need some help with Internet Connection Sharing. I tried the "GUI method" from the link ubottu gives but this leaves me unable to connect to the internet. Am I doing something wrong? [09:18] without adding: StrictHostKeyChecking=no to the conf [09:18] It is frustrating and is probably slowely killing my harddrive [09:18] egtux, ok you click "recover" what happens then? [09:18] can anybody help me with udev [1815] error at boot? [09:18] insider reinstall ubuntu [09:18] !sysrq | mike-from-canmor [09:18] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Poblem very mus poblem [09:18] mike-from-canmor: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [09:19] mike-from-canmor: Have you filed a bug report? [09:19] Deist, if its one file, you should be able to find it with applications -> assecoires -> disk usage [09:19] mike-from-canmor Ubuntu works fine but this error slows booting time [09:19] no [09:19] o [09:19] |jonathan|, Try this as well: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/probleme-mit-umts-stick-xs-stick-w14/ [09:19] Gryllida, it is recover last saved version of the file then i can open and edit it again [09:19] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder okk dude [09:19] SwedeMike, still doesn't run :\ [09:19] well I recommend just reinstalling if it bothers you it will save more time then trying to diagnose it === tn_ is now known as tn [09:20] egtux: it recovers the file, you can edit it. Are you able to make it crash again? How exactly? [09:20] hi in computer i cant find the right partition. they are not labled sda1, sda2 etc so i dont know what they are [09:20] No I have not filed a bug report due to the fact that I have no idea where the log file is [09:20] mike-from-canmor: Upgrade to 10.04 and if the problem persists then file a bug report and it may get fixed (bugs are more likely to be fixed in 10.04 since it's the most recent release and also a long term support release). [09:20] I don't think that will make a difference [09:20] trijntje, the biggest file i can find there is around 5 gb. My hd is around 130. [09:20] had anybody issue with udev errors? [09:20] Gryllida, what do u want to know exactly [09:20] it has occured in all versions of ubuntu I have used [09:20] I'm pretty sure I'm using 10.04 [09:21] never mind I'm using 10.04 [09:21] sorry [09:21] mike-from-canmor: If magic sysrq doesn't work the next time this happens, then whatever else may be happening there is a serious kernel bug. [09:21] How can I find the problem? [09:21] Clinteger: you might be missing something from your environment variables, try outputting stderr etc to a file and run it from cron and see what comes out at that file... like add "> /tmp/cronout.txt 2>&1" to the cron line and then take a look at that file [09:21] it happens to me relatively often [09:21] It just occured to so I have log files [09:21] hm okay, thanks :D [09:22] mike-from-canmor: So if sysrq magic fails next time run "ubuntu-bug linux" to submit a bug report. Submitting a bug report is a way to get support from the developers of the software itself :) [09:22] Yeah but don' [09:22] yeah but don't they need a log file of some sort? [09:22] now I wait. [09:22] hello. where can I find my history file ? [09:22] sburjan, history of what? [09:23] history from the terminal.. sorry [09:23] mike-from-canmor: If ubuntu-bug linux doesn't give them the info they need, then they will likely tell you procedures that will. [09:23] Gryllida, ?? [09:23] history lists a lot .. but whan I am searching for .. is too old to be shown [09:23] SwedeMike, okay the output file was empty..but it still didn't work :| [09:23] sburjan: ~/.bash_history [09:23] sburjan, ~/.bash_history .. oops I'm slow at typing [09:23] could I run it right now [09:23] thanks [09:24] i was searching for .history :P [09:24] sburjan: yay [09:24] Clinteger: add the flag to perl that does debug output and see how far it gets [09:24] Hey guys, I have an ntfs volume I mounted with umask=027,gid=100. Permissions are "drwxr-x---" for directories and "-rwxr-x---" for files. [09:24] I can edit existing files and write the changes but I can't create or delete anything as root. [09:24] anyone have a generic ubuntu entry for grub 40_custom file please [09:25] Clinteger: if the file is still empty, then it might be that it can't find the perl executable due to PATH being wrong. Try adding the full path to perl when starting it. [09:25] yeah, im currently using the full path [09:25] Applications -> Accessories -> Search for files... menuitem. Seeing it for the first time, can I know whether it is included into Ubuntu by default [09:25] ? [09:25] Clinteger: What is the exact command that you use to run the script normally, and can you pastebin the script? [09:26] if i have a dual boot on a 500g hd, with 100g dedicated to ubuntu, and want to remove ubuntu, so i can give the machine to someone else, is there a way to do it without messing up windows? like can i use a partition manager in windows and just expand the partition, and it will boot fine? [09:26] qwiksilver711 - I think partition magic could work, but it's not free afaik [09:26] qwiksilver711: you will have to restore windows mbr. [09:27] And that too, about the mbr [09:27] how would i restore the boot record? [09:27] You can use windows repair console [09:27] qwiksilver711, You can use the gparted livecd to modify the partitions. (free and oss) [09:27] command fixmbr if I recall correctly [09:27] Can someone tell me what exactly I should do to fix my problem or report my problem? [09:27] would i need the windows disc for that? [09:27] after WINEPREFIX=~/ the installer opens then crashes a difficiency in wine. [09:28] hello [09:28] qwiksilver711: if you use gparted, you will need to download it and burn it to a CD, then boot from that [09:28] can some one explain how to get this working? [09:28] qwiksilver711: why not keep the partition and spread the ubuntu love. :) [09:28] for the windows recovery console you do need the XP CD [09:28] how can i connect internet over bluetooth of my gsm [09:28] i am reading here http://news.softpedia.com/news/Connect-to-the-Internet-from-Anywhere-Using-a-GPRS-Connection-50670.shtml [09:28] its win 7 p-dawg [09:28] but something wrong and i can`t connect [09:29] qwiksilver711: okay, then you'll need the windows 7 cd :D. [09:29] mike-from-canmor: Let it happen again, try sysrq magic to reboot. If sysrq magic fails then you'll know there's been a kernel panic and you can report the bug via "ubuntu-bug linux" [09:29] i am with ubuntu netbook edition 10.4 [09:29] and biomekanika, my wife can hardly handle windows... ubuntu would give her a stroke [09:29] Deist, you might want to remove that file, if its in your home dir and you dont need it [09:29] ok p-dawg, so use the cd, and the repair console, command fixmbr... partition magic has a fix mbr command, would that work? [09:29] top shows me as having 2441mb ram used, but the processes it lists only account for 509mb. how can i find what's eating up the other 1.9gb of ram? [09:30] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/0RSzWUcd [09:30] qwiksilver711: I've only used partition magic to resize windows partitions, I'm not sure about its fixmbr command [09:30] hello good afternoon. i tried to follow this ftp tutorial.https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html...i created a user with ftp privilege.but i cannot connect when i test it...wrong tutorial?port forwarding is working on ssh.but not in ftp..

[09:52] pommesky: shares for the user are in ~/.gvfs/ so " cd ~/.gvfs/ " but still not sure what you are actually asking [09:52] jigp: if so, you could check if that user has a home directory; i think maybe it's trying to LIST that directory, but can't find/read it. [09:52] mikeos: You mentioned menu.lst in #grub, which is from grub legacy. === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ\zz === JimmyJ\zz is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:53] Jordan_U: oops [09:53] figure002 : i tried my account.my account is root.still cant connect [09:53] Can you connect external speakers to an Imac [09:53] BloGTK WEB CLient [09:53] hello! can anybody help my with my server problem? :) i'm first time here [09:53] Ok, I fixed my issue: I didn't have ntfs-3g and was mounting stuff with regular ntfs DOH [09:53] erUSUL : Yes, i have a folder in my desktop which pointed to "smb://media-center-des/media1/" and i want access this folder by console [09:53] Daijoubu: md5sum /dev/cdrom [09:53] MaRk-I thanks ^^ [09:53] pommesky: then go where i told you... [09:53] grr [09:53] Daijoubu: yw [09:54] putting dos on a partition and making it bootable is a freaking pain in the ass [09:54] hello all, i have installed ubuntu on windows. But now i'm going to format windows so will i lose GRUB and so ubuntu ? [09:54] erUSUL : Ok it's work thank you a lot [09:55] Daijoubu: and yes k3b should give you a md5sum if you look for it :P [09:55] jigp: hmm, to be hones i'm out of ideas; i know another vsftp tutorial that does work, but it uses a separate passwd file for the users+passwords. [09:55] Jordan_U: Not all packages did re-install. But I found reasons why certain packages did not re-install. So this is no problem for me any more and I can tackle it later myself. -- After you went to bed I repeated the command you gave using as a prefix the command 'directories="usr/bin". But this did not strip off the 'src' group ownership of all files in the /usr/bin directory. [09:55] so, i have "init ureadahaed-other main process terminated with status 4". i read that problem inside fstab and my external usb HDD's connected. When i disconnect them I recieve this message. When they are connected I have blank screen with blinking line. what can I do? [09:55] MaRk-I tried but can't find it :/ [09:55] Sorry for my terrible english :) [09:55] Daijoubu: well the other method should work [09:55] Hasanibrahim: backup the ubuntu img and just reinstall grub and such when you reinstall windows and replace the new img with the old one [09:55] figure002 : link please :) [09:56] Can you connect external speakers to an Imac [09:56] jigp: http://www.ubuntututorials.net/installing-vsftpd-using-text-file-for-virtual-users/ [09:56] bullgard4: Was the "usr/bin" not including a leading '/' a typo in your comment or was the '/' missing from the command you ran? [09:57] figure002: thanks :) [09:58] jigp: you're welcome [09:58] hi guys [09:58] After searching for the answer for one hour and finding no solution I was wondering if here anyone knew whether there's an easy way of installing ProjectM pulseaudio visualizer to ubuntu _without_ compiling? :) [09:59] Jordan_U: According to my bash's history the command was: '~$ directories="/usr/bin /usr/sbin/"' [09:59] Hi, how can I change the size of particular fonts (different language) in gnome-terminal? [09:59] can anyone tell me how to automount a drive on startup, its my media tv computer and i have movies installed on another partition which i want to automount [10:00] atude: Edit > Profile Preferences [10:00] Having problems with Firefox 4 beta update, it worked fine for few days on my Ubuntu 10.04, but yesterday during aptitude safe-upgrade I got this: http://paste2.org/p/915339 (no replies on #firefox so asking here generally) [10:00] hjst: that is for one font, and that would be the font gnome-terminal would use [10:00] figure002 : do need to uninstall vftp that i installed? [10:00] how do you get irssi to display the user list on the right side of the window? [10:01] hjst: so example, I can set my font to Terminus but chinese font would use some kind of default. I have no idea how to set that [10:01] cavetv: add it to /etc/fstab [10:01] atude: ah, now I get you [10:01] jigp: that tutorial also uses vsftp, so there's no need to uninstall it. [10:01] bullgard4: That's correct then at least. [10:02] atude: I just use wenquanyi hei mono for everything [10:02] atude: not sure if what you're after is possible [10:02] how do you get irssi to display the user list on the right side of the window? [10:02] llutz, so i edit fstab and put my directory in there? [10:03] llutz, with gedit? [10:03] hello [10:03] Jordan_U: So the only solution to the dilemma I had was to re-install every single package using Synaptic. I started yesterday with the letters A and B. === AK|out is now known as Andorin [10:03] Where is the easiest way to find the change log of a 'proposed' package without installing it? [10:03] cavetv: sudo nano /etc/fstab, then add a line like "UUID=1234-54321 /media/stuff ext4 defaults 0 0" [10:04] edakiri: packages.ubuntu.com [10:04] cavetv: replace uuid mountpoint etc.pp to your needs [10:04] foureight84: the nicklist script does that [10:04] thanks hjst [10:04] ok how do i find the uuid of the drive the rest im ok [10:04] with [10:04] foureight84: no problem, should be on scripts.irssi.org [10:04] cavetv: sudo blkid [10:04] What is the most user-friendly and safe way to manage fan speed? I need mine to go faster than it does. [10:04] !uuid [10:04] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [10:05] llutz, thx [10:05] And the user-friendly bit is because a noob friend of mine needs the same thing. [10:05] I have some DVDs as .iso files and I know how to create a loop back device and play them, but most regular users on the system does not know how to do that. How do you suggest a regular user would be able to play these .iso files? [10:06] exit [10:06] tdn: most players can open iso files directly [10:06] tdn: mplayer --dvd-device=file.iso dvdnav:// [10:06] Andorin: There is no user-friendly and safe way at the same time. You need to rely on Ubuntu's settings. [10:06] tdn: i.e. « vlc file.iso » should just work === taka is now known as Guest52241 === mac-mini1 is now known as Guest24652 [10:10] erUSUL, llutz: Ok. I was not aware. But I think using the terminal to start a video is too difficult for many users. Can this be done using GUI? [10:10] bullgard4: nice idea, but it seems not to have the lucid-proposed repository information. Only lucid and maybe lucid-updates. [10:10] tdn: try it and see ? [10:10] tdn: most players should have a setting for that in the gui too. [10:10] erUSUL, I will. I am not on the system right now. [10:10] llutz, ok. [10:10] erUSUL, llutz: thanks for input. [10:10] llutz, this is the line I used does it look ok to you? UUID=b4abfb7b-3957-4cae-b40e-3c1c918e5514 /media/Movies ext2 defaults 0 0 [10:10] cavetv: yep [10:14] anyone know how to boot to console (no x server) with 10.4? [10:14] zoran119, google "runlevel" [10:17] trijntje: we dont suggest google here, also ubuntu is not using runlevels like you think [10:18] iceroot, In my defence, I was using it as a verb. But ill use 'search' in the future [10:18] thanks hjst this works out perfectly [10:18] llutz : same thing :( same error [10:19] llutz : same thing :( same error [10:19] rage2, why do you want to change the /etc/resolv.conf ? [10:19] Gryllida: because it keeps putting in my router's IP, and that causes pages to not load [10:19] join ##mslinux the only distro for power users. [10:19] I solved the problem: /etc/kernel-img.conf was missing lines postinst_hook and postrm_hook [10:19] trijntje: this is not a channel to tell others to search [10:19] trijntje: if you know how to do it, give him the solutions, if you dont know how to do it, just leave the question [10:19] Hmm... [10:19] rage2: change dhclient.conf if you need own dns-settings [10:19] dignan: hm? [10:20] llutz : sudo: htpasswd: command not found [10:20] jigp: try: sudo apt-get install apache2-utils [10:20] rage2: what do you want to put instead, what do you expect it to do [10:20] ?

Teach a man to fish, and he eats for life." [10:21] I was wondering if anyone knew how to install projectM visualizer? Many thanks for your help:) [10:21] all the forums talk about removing gdm from startup links using update-rc.d but that doesn't work [10:21] Gryllida: I know my ISP's DNS servers.. I'm putting them in manually to avoid the connection problems created by having my router's address in there [10:22] figure002 llutz : l000@l000:~$ sudo mkdir /var/www/mixtapegod [10:23] mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/www/mixtapegod': No such file or directory [10:23] erUSUL: I did put them in there actualy, but my /etc/resolv.conf file still gets overwritten [10:23] I have connecting to my desktop using 'vino' I have compiz running, the keyboard and mouse events are not updating, is there a fix? [10:23] with an IP that I don't have in the connections DNS area [10:23] zoran119, What I've done in the past is to "chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm" => that works fine for me here. [10:23] rage2: then check what llutz said [10:24] figure002 llutz : ill manually create a folder then in /var/www/?

[10:29] bullgard4: The reason for the second sed command is because we want only a list of package names, and the output of dpkg -S also includes the file that matched at the end of the list of matching packages.

[11:11] FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module agrmodem.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__snd_printk' [11:11] My second is only 5 days old [11:11] I am getting extremely slow refresh rate with remote desktop, something like 0.1 frames per second [11:12] erUSUL, I used the "GUI Method Using Network Manager". It says nothing about forwarding ports :/ [11:12] MetalGeek_N00b, Blessings mate [11:12] xover: using what 'remote desktop' tool? what is your connection? what windowmanager are you using? [11:14] still getting same prob with theme [11:14] its called bluespace II [11:14] Dr_Willis: from real vnc viewer winxp to ubuntu 10.04 vino [11:14] using the lowest settings [11:15] I just tend to Mixx and Match the various theme parts till i get a combo i line. [11:15] MetalGeek_N00b, Can't say's I've seen that theme on gnome-look.org before.... [11:15] how come or how can I fix it when I open a chromium desktop app, it makes 2 taskbar entries? [11:15] xover: FreeNX will give better speeds - but it will be a little harder to setup. Ive not had any issues using vino on my local lan. But i also am sure to disable compiz, and other effects. [11:16] xover: i tend however to use very minimal desktops with vnc. like icewm, or somthiong thats just a window manager, for best speeds. [11:16] Dr_Willis: Why? :O [11:16] to get a working development environnement with maverick, what virtualisation software (kvm, virtualbox, ?) would you recommend? I've been browsing the ubuntu dev documentation but did not get a clear answer [11:17] erUSUL, its not dns, going to a site with only its IP doesnt work in FF, while it does work now (without ethernet plugged in) [11:17] red2kic: why to which of the 3 statements i made? [11:17] Dr_Willis: Heh. I just got on the computer and the first thing I read was your last statement. You have an old hardware or something or you're just a minimalist freak? [11:18] red2kic: vnc is easialy slowed down by a full gnome or kde desktop. Thats what we were talking about 'slow vnc' switching to kuist a window manager helps vnc out greatly [11:19] Dr_Willis: I can connect to windows no issue with vnc, so why so slow in inux? [11:19] can someone explain to me how a ubuntu machine can ping another (I can see the ICMP request and respond in wireshark) but in the terminal I get 100 % packet lost ? Same with the DNS requests and internet at all .... this machine is sharing it's internet connection and machines behind it have no problem with the internet..... I tried to flush the iptables - same result .... [11:20] xover: could be the desktop is more 'complex' so slowing things down. I tend to run vnc in its own 'hidden' desktop also. Not showing the 'current/local' desktop - that also helps to speed it up. [11:20] VNC is a very flexiable tool with much more.. err.. flexibility under linux, then it has under windiows. [11:20] Dr_Willis: which version of vnc server do you run? [11:21] xover: lately ive been using tightvnc. or vnc4server. I did learn abouit one called 'tigervnc' the other day. but havent tried it yet. I finally DID get freenx working. and fouind freenx a LOT LOT faster then vnc [11:22] xover: on windows i tend to use 'ultravnc' but not used that in ages [11:22] http://tigervnc.org/ [11:23] who knows how to set ipv6 ?

[12:13] linxeh, I have enough space and inodes as well: /dev/sda2 10623916 1999440 8624476 19% /media/DATA [12:13] linxeh, this is for df -h: /dev/sda2 179G 171G 8.2G 96% /media/DATA [12:13] heh ok, so you dont have space [12:13] Hello all, [12:14] 5% is reserved.. is that part of the 96% or not.. :) im not sure [12:14] flootdboots are flooding :D [12:14] linxeh, well, 96% is not enough?? [12:14] kasun: linux filesystems typically maintain a reserve that only root can use [12:14] kasun: this is just a data drive? or your /home/ ? [12:14] 171G is a lot of source code ;-) [12:15] Dr_Willis, it's a DataDrive and is ntfs [12:15] oh [12:15] then ignore what I said [12:15] linxeh, ok, [12:15] kasun: Are you sure you're in the right dir? what does ''df -h ./'' say? [12:16] Dr_Willis, linxeh, I can create files in my home folder. [12:16] the only time I use NTFS from linux is if someone begs me to help them === geowany is now known as geowany[away] [12:16] linxeh, its the same [12:16] I have to wonder why did it say 19% for /media/DATA then 96% for /dev/Data ? did i miss somthing? [12:16] hello evey one [12:17] Dr_Willis: inodes vs free space [12:17] I have a minimalistic system, with GNOME (Openbox in place of metacity, PCmanfm in place of Nautilus) and all visual effects are disabled, with minimal look. I made almost all possible tweaks to boost the speed of my system, and it was running quite nicely uptill yesterday. But from yesterday, certain errors are displayed whenever I try to install/remove an app, like "unknown media type in all/all" and so. And my System is extremely slow. I disabled all unnece [12:17] Dr_Willis, sorry for not being clear: 19% is for INodes i.e. for df -i [12:17] Dr_Willis, and other is for df -h [12:17] do inodes even apply to NTFS ? [12:17] hi,there. where is the mount point when I access net shared folders through samba? [12:17] getting error while mounting DVD. it says "Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount the volume 'UDF' Volume ".. Any clues ? [12:17] kasun: I don't know then. I'd boot windows and have the filesystem checked. Just to rule out corrupt fs. [12:17] where do i specify which locales to generate? [12:18] !locales | zamba [12:18] zamba: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [12:18] kasun: whats the same ? [12:18] fungo_: if the user mounted them they may be in .gvfs [12:19] Dr_Willis, I'll check to see [12:19] Any help? [12:19] linxeh, i meant "df -h ./" command gives the same answer gave to you [12:19] hello, getting error while mounting DVD. it says "Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount the volume 'UDF' Volume ".. Any clues ? [12:19] ah [12:19] rocket16: try to install/remove an app how exactly? [12:19] kasun: try the disk again on a Windows machine and run chkdsk or whatever it is these days [12:20] Dr_Willis: Like "sudo apt-get install pidgin" in Terminal, then it displays messages like "unknown media type in all/all" and others looking alike. [12:20] Dr_Willis, yeah,They are there.I thought it's /media/*. Thank you very much! [12:20] Hi. Am looking for a way to include the interface in a ufw oneliner. Is this possible? [12:21] linxeh, geirha I didn't used windows for several months now. I couldnt partition it to ext4 as there was some data on it [12:21] does fsck.ntfs would help? [12:21] hi. if i insert an usb stick i get a dialog "not authorized". thats uncool. what should i do? [12:21] rocket16: paste the whole error message please ...

[12:22] !find fsck.ntfs [12:22] Package/file fsck.ntfs does not exist in lucid [12:22] Hi all, trying to set up ICS like ubottu told me, but I cant get it to work. Worse, i dont know how to find out where its going wrong. Does anyone have some advice for me? [12:22] any help ?? [12:23] kasun: there might be ntfsfix [12:23] Rishab_: this is a movie dvd? or what exactaly? [12:23] Dr_Willis yes its a movie DVD [12:24] kasun: but ideally, find a way to move all that stuff from the ntfs drive onto an ext4 drive [12:24] Rishab_: I normally just start up VLC or GMplayer and they handle it. I dont have to mount them beforhand [12:24] Dr_Willis i installed libudf0 and udftools package but its not working [12:24] Can I ask a question? Why do so many people think ipv6 causes slow DNS requests? it's one of the first suggestions on google, and there's threads full of people doing it on ubuntu's forums. Yet there's absolutely NO proof it does ANYTHING, or solves the real issues people are having with their network. [12:25] Rishab_: ive never had to install any of that stuff in the past. I can access dvd video disks as if they were data disks just fine. What are you wanting to do with the disk? Playit? if so try vlc and see if vlc mounts it poperly [12:25] linxeh, i would love to. But about 96% filled HardDrive and no portable drive in hand, I have no option [12:25] Dr_Willis and how to do that ? [12:26] but to stick with ntfs drive [12:26] kasun: No, linux can't do filesystem checks on ntfs. You must have windows for that. [12:26] Rishab_: Install the vlc player.. start vlc.. tell it to play the dvd... [12:26] nisstyre65: quote « I can think of several rational explanations for the poor user experience. If the DNS query for a web site first returns a AAAA record and you do not have IPv6 running smoothly, the browser will first time out before trying the IPv4 address. » [12:26] erUSUL: I removed youtube-dl installed on Laptop, through Terminal, and strangely, no error occured this time. But, I only have Firefox and Pidgin running now, and that "sudo apt-get remove youtube-dl" took nearly 4 minutes to complete and it took 100% of Processor of CPU, so I couldn't even move the mouse then, :( [12:27] okay let me try that thx... Dr_Willis [12:27] wher can i get nubuntu [12:27] people cant install vlc and hang in irc at the same time? :) [12:27] rocket16: have you checked for clues in the logs ? what is consuming the cpu ? ( use top to see ) [12:27] linxeh, Dr_Willis geirha okay. i'm going to boot in to windows and I'll try to do a file system checkup [12:28] erUSUL: why would the browser make a DNS request for an ipv6 address if you don't have a public ipv6 address? [12:28] linxeh, Dr_Willis geirha thanks for all the help === sexy18 is now known as loooolllll [12:28] kill [12:28] nisstyre65: becouse you usually get one by defaultif you have ipv6 enabled ( see the problem ? ) === jim__ is now known as jtravnick65 [12:29] erUSUL: but that's a bug in the browser then correct? and not the ipv6 module. [12:30] nisstyre65: i'm sure the standars mandate that behavior if you get a AAAA record then query through ipv6 and only do ipv4 when that timeouts [12:30] nisstyre65: the problem is that most people « ... do not have IPv6 running smoothly, ... » [12:31] nisstyre65: including me; mind you [12:32] Is there a way to repair the current Ubuntu installation from the Ubuntu CD, without removing the files? (To make it like a new, fresh system)? [12:32] rocket16: why would you want that? [12:33] kasun: can you not borrow a drive temporarily from a friend / family ? [12:33] I don't think there is any program on the ubuntu live cd that can do that anyway [12:33] nisstyre65: Because my System is too slow now, and I wish to keep my files (without backing up) where they are. [12:33] rocket16: you could back up your /home directory to keep all of your personal files and configurations [12:33] and your /etc directory [12:33] hi I have turned off os-prober. 40_custom entries will not come up in bootloader now. what do i do?? [12:34] because os-prober is turned off can i now add entries to grub.cfg. [12:34] Hi all, trying to set up ICS like ubottu told me, but I cant get it to work. Worse, i dont know how to find out where its going wrong. Does anyone have some advice for me? [12:34] nisstyre65: My Home directory is too large, about 70 GB, and I have a a 4GB Pen-Drive, so backing it up to my main Computer will be troublesome. Also, I don't have any external HD. [12:34] its-me-again: how did you turn off os_prober? [12:35] Dr_Willis: i added entry in /etc/default/grub [12:35] rocket16: what files are you wanting to keep?

[12:40] !java | ne2k__ [12:40] ne2k__: 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.

[12:41] MaRk-I: how can I enable a repository from command line? [12:41] nisstyre65: ok, thank you. :) [12:41] !partner [12:41] 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" » [12:41] MaRk-I: those links go to pages that are awfully out of data (particularly the "JavaInstallation" one) [12:41] MaRk-I: thanks [12:42] MaRk-I: why do you need the sun java as opposed to openjdk btw (I'm a java developer, I'm curious) [12:42] linxeh: I didnt make them [12:42] linxeh: I didnt ask for java [12:42] sorry [12:42] ne2k__: why do you need the sun java as opposed to openjdk btw (I'm a java developer, I'm curious) [12:43] linxeh: I have a third party app that runs fine on sun java. I've had problems using it on any other jre before. I'm now upgrading to 10.04 and I don't want the pain of trying out a different jre, when I know that sun works. [12:43] MaRk-I: my bad; and I realise you didnt write them - I was just pointing out they arent great resources (eg the JavaInstallation page only talks about 8.04) [12:43] Hi, I justin install squirrel mail on my ubuntu server and I cannot send or recive e-mails through it, allthough I can send mail though a script on my website, I get this error - "ERROR: Message not sent.

[12:44] ne2k__: ok. openjdk is the same source as sun java largely - I havent found any issues yet (but like you, I have had issues with other Java's in the past, eg IBM, and obviously GCJ) [12:44] Does compiling a kernel in Ubuntu 10.04 increase the speed? [12:44] ne2k__: that just assigns the name of the release (lucid) to a variable === bnnd is now known as _bnd_ [12:44] well, kinda === _bnd_ is now known as bnnd [12:45] captures the output of it [12:45] rocket16: you could theoretically remove some unneeded aspects from the kernel, but the advantage is optimizing it for your cpu [12:45] but, there's no real reason unless you have an old computer [12:45] anyone know of a streaming client for ubuntu, I used vlc for shoutcast, but it looks like they removed the support which stinks..anything else out there?

[12:48] Does anyone know how long compiling a custom kernel takes? it's been working now for about 2 hours... is there any way to see how far along the process is?

This so that I can mess around with other window managers :) [13:36] How would I do that? [13:37] like screen for X [13:37] :P [13:37] I wonder what happens if you use screen under x...

I removed xubuntu-desktop with synaptic (and in fact anything matching xubuntu that i had installed) but that leaves all the apps. [14:12] lol i finally managed to edit grug2 in ubuntu after all the headache things where, with to many ppl trying to advise me, i did it.

Maybe QTDIR isn't properly set or wrong --with-Qt-dir parameter. [14:16] When I run configure. [14:16] tuxrocks: right click on panel and ad to panel its there somewhere [14:16] tuxrocks: you need to readd what you removed cantreset to default that easily [14:16] i've tried to run it ./configure --with-Qt-dir using various directories I see qt libraries in. [14:16] its-me-again: add wat [14:17] its-me-again: with synaptic [14:17] No go. [14:17] its-me-again: i installed xubuntu-desktop [14:17] feindbild: Right, .2 is from -proposed, so the downgrade there should probably not matter. Likely there might be items installed from dotdeb that lingers and thus is messing with your package system. Try starting synaptic (Or aptitude ncurses, might do likewise) and checking out what's under "local/obsolete packages" And see if you can downgrade the relevant packages there to the proper ubuntu version. Take care if that wants to remov [14:17] I always get stuck compiling stuff. === OerHeks is now known as Oer [14:17] :\ [14:17] Industrial: then uninstall again in synaptic easy as [14:17] Unknown0BC: what are you compiling? [14:18] its-me-again: like i said i removed all xubuntu-* packages but the apops (eg thunar and xfce-*) are still there [14:18] feindbild: One you've marked all relevant downgrades (marked changes is a good filter to check status there.) [14:18] ActionParsnip, midingsolo-0.1.3 [14:18] :) [14:18] Unknown0BC: looked for a ppa? [14:18] ActionParsnip, mmmm ? [14:19] Unknown0BC: its a 3rd party repo, i just searched launchpad and there isnt one listed there === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out [14:20] hi, i'm running 10.04 server with a java based webserver that is used to upload lot's of data (online backup). The clients uploading regularly loose their connection for up to 5 minutes and then log a network error, after the 5 mins they happily continue. ufw is enabled and 80/443 is open in there (http(s) is used to upload). I think it's some kind of rate limiter in ufw or something can it be removed (and perferably only for the 80/443)? [14:20] ActionParsnip, Well. If I can just figure out why the ./configure is not seeing my libraries. [14:20] Industrial: in terminal try this "sudo apt-get purge xfce4 && sudo apt-get remove xfce4" if that does not work then find each application adn remove them in synaptic ok [14:20] Unknown0BC: do you have the qt lib dev package installed? [14:21] I see stuff in various directories like: /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/imageformats/libqtiff.so [14:21] arand: thanks [14:21] and /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 [14:21] llutz, copied the root user .bashrc and .profile into the /etc/skel but still not working (such as tabbed completion) for the new user [14:21] Unknown0BC: as you are compilig, you need the dev package, not just the binary [14:22] Industrial: reboot and let us know if that works [14:22] I've gone nuts installing everything qt to try resolve the problem. [14:22] reboot o_O? [14:22] ActionParsnip, yeah i know. [14:22] Unknown0BC: i'd ask in #qt [14:22] Industrial: after you run that command reboot, restart computer ok [14:22] is it possible for screen or tmux to survive after a reboot [14:22] Industrial: reboot - restart computer [14:24] how to enable usbfs in ubuntu 10.04 [14:24] BoulderDave: if you create new users, files from /etc/skel will be copied into the new-users $HOME. for users already existing you have to copy those files manually and source them to make changes active === abhijit is now known as abhijit_ === abhijit_ is now known as abhijit__ [14:25] llutz, ah great, thank you :) === abhijit__ is now known as abhijit === Guest88103 is now known as LjL-Temp === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest22692 [14:26] BoulderDave: as well as chown to the same username [14:27] arand HI HOW ARE U === abhijit is now known as abhi_nav === abhi_nav is now known as Guest16004 [14:28] Noob question: Whats the easiest way to tell what video card is being used to output video using the live cd?

[14:34] Rather then which ones are available [14:34] BoulderDave: It's alright the answer was kind of fail anyway I might suggest a new one for the bot [14:34] p1l0t, lol :) [14:35] tofufish: Lookin at the xserver/gdm log might show it /var/log/* or ~/.xserver I think === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhijit [14:36] arand: No easy way? :P [14:37] I guess there is no official php-5.2.13 for ubuntu? [14:37] ActionParsnip, the .bashrc and .profile file was copied into the new user folder properly when i created the user... however i still don't have the same command line options (such as tab completion) that the root user has (of which i copipes its .bashrc and .profile files from). am I going the right diretion with this? [14:38] feindbild: isnt the standard version 5.3.2 now ? [14:38] tofufish: Meh, you want butoons and flashing text? :p There probably is, but I don't know them. Maybe in properties -> display... [14:38] hey [14:38] (they came from the /etc/skel directory, and are owned by the new users, looks right) [14:38] linxeh: yes, but some proprietary module needs 5.2 [14:38] and 5.2.13 is the current 5.2 release [14:38] Can I do an alternative install (onto a RAID array) from the Live media? [14:38] how do I open emacs in non-x11 mode (from ssh)? [14:38] tofufish: maybe something like 'grep -i display /var/log/Xorg.0.log' but I never used multiple video things so I'm not too sure, it does show what I have enabled [14:39] linxeh: *cough*ZendOptimizer*cough* [14:39] I know the Live media supports starting the installer, but I'm guessing it starts the default desktop install, not the alternative [14:39] Thanks arand and VCoolio [14:40] VCoolio: Output is ' (II) Intel(0) : ....... ' [14:40] Do you know what the (0) is? [14:40] ActionParsnip, should i be changing the /etc/.bashrc instead? [14:40] IRCAnswersBot [14:40] feindbild: what about on dotdeb ? === abhijit is now known as abhi_nav [14:41] tofufish: no, but I have that too, only with Nvidia === abhi_nav is now known as abhijit === abhijit is now known as abhijit_ [14:41] VCoolio: Bugger, i was hoping it meant it was using my onboard inter rather then my nvidia === abhijit_ is now known as abhijit [14:42] tofufish: if that's in xorg log, it is using the intel thing, or is there also a nvidia entry for you? [14:42] feindbild: http://2bits.com/drupal-planet/various-ways-running-php-52-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx.html === abhijit is now known as abhijit__ [14:43] feindbild: Might be useful. [14:43] VCoolio: Using lshw -C Display and lspci | grep -i vga there are intel and nvidia entries [14:43] but using your command, there is only the inter(0) [14:43] intel* [14:43] arand: thank you [14:43] Why do i keep mistyping that. [14:43] Hi gys... I just used debootrap for ubuntu 8.04 on my ubuntu 9.04(hosted on virtual box). When i tried installing xfce desktop on ubuntu 8.04 the folowing error came: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464024/ === abhijit__ is now known as abhijit [14:44] tofufish: so, you have both cards listed in hardware info, which is right; you have intel in the logs, to that's the one that is enabled I'd say [14:44] Excellent, Is it assumed the other one is not being powered? [14:44] *cough* debian is too complicated for me [14:46] tofufish: if it is recognized in the hardware list I'd say it is, only not used at the moment === gb_ is now known as Guest76544 === b1_ is now known as glory^for [14:47] VCoolio: Is it possibly to disable it somehow? [14:47] I dont have an option in the BIOS [14:48] tofufish: I don't know that, also isn't really ubuntu/linux related so maybe there is a better place to ask [14:48] VCoolio: Alright, thanks for your help though [14:49] tofufish: the bios is the place to look however, I disabled onboard sound there [14:52] I was trying for a vanilla Ubuntu, I do not need Bluetooth, Printers, and other packages,I downloaded the Minimal with hopes of doing a custom or personal install ofg packages as I needed or required that uses minimum resources and is not such a monolithic kernel of packages I never use, I did the Minimal Install, but ended up with tti only, what or where did I foul up at? [14:54] i want to dispaly all my dpkg --get selections | less during my startup , what should i do??? [14:54] I have a macbookpro, I want the "gauge" key (F4, without function) to be remapped to show battery information. What's the best way of doing so ? [14:54] hello abhinav_singh [14:55] hello abhijit [14:55] i want to dispaly all my dpkg --get selections | less during my startup , what should i do??? [14:55] Vigo_: I've never tried a minimal install only the alternate install but perhaps you didn't foul up, maybe that's just what it is. I would do a full install and de-select everything you don't need use. Synaptic will generate a script to copy that action should you need to re-install at a later date, [14:55] Vigo_: install lubuntu-desktop for a minimal distro [14:55] n00b__: You wouldn't pipe it to less, or else your boot'd be stuck [14:55] you can remove cups and bluetooth stuff after the install but it will be very small and incredibly fast [14:55] y so ??? wil the EOF wont work [14:56] DrMax__: System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts should do it I think, [14:56] n00b__: less is interactive [14:56] n00b__: Just DON'T pipe it to less and that's all? [14:56] jimlovell777 : no, there's no "show battery status" in there [14:56] jimlovell777, ActionParsnip: Thank you very much. [14:57] I've also looked in gconf-editor for a setting that had no interface element attached to it, to no avail [14:57] so what if i want to print all these with a diff of .25 seconds or less [14:57] but still how to do it [14:57] ??? [14:57] DrMax__: You would add the "Show Battery Status" command and map the key to it. I'd have to google the "Show battery Status" command though. [14:57] n00b__ : maybe with watch? [14:57] ActionParsnip: I think that is the ticket, I do not have a printer and knew I was forgetting something. [14:57] n00b__: make a script to do it then launch it at startup with an ampersand to put it in the background [14:57] Vigo_: just pull out cups and you'll be ok [14:58] can you please elaborate i am very new to linux [14:58] Vigo_, I found that Edubuntu-desktop has both kde and gnome applications but is far faster than if you installed both of those DE's onto ubuntu [14:58] coz_: Somehow that is true [14:58] jimlovell777 : yes, I thought of that, but after quite a lot of googleing I haven't found an acceptable lynx-èsque way to do this. All I found was complicated scripts to parse ACPI information [14:58] ActionParsnip: I was going to use that auto script on the forums, looks painless enough.... [14:58] which are susceptible to break at next update... [14:58] Vigo_, and if you install that with minimal install where it gives you the choice you will be please I just installed it this morning via mini cd [14:59] #ubuntu ua === eminor2 is now known as eminor [14:59] DrMax__: The status bar top right shows it at a click, there's gotta to be a way to invoke it with a keypress. I/we'd have to find that command though, I think that's the most favorable solution. [14:59] please? [14:59] Hm... Say, if I'm torrenting something onto a NTFS device, will it be in any way slower (?) than on ext4? [14:59] n00b__: ampersand puts commands in the background so other apps can run, you can use a script to do whatever you wish. I recommend you output the output of your commands to files and you can read the files [14:59] n00b__: be patient, i'm not that bloody fast [15:00] theadmin: I don't *know* but I'd say not. [15:00] coz_: Yes, I am happy with the TLI, I also want to test some eye-candy out to see performance stats. [15:00] Hello,Any reasons all Persian subtitles I download are changed to some weird characters? [15:00] n00b__: less is not appropriate here as the whole bootup will hang while you read the screen [15:00] hi [15:00] Vigo_, then compiz would be one approach [15:00] knightstalker: Encoding. Do you know what encoding they are in? [15:00] please? [15:00] theadmin,UTF-8 [15:00] jimlovell777 : that's the solution I was exploring. There aught to be a way, since on my other laptop, the xf86Battery key works well [15:00] Vigo_, which is the hardware configuration of your machine? [15:01] knightstalker: That's unlikely since then they would display properly :/ [15:01] Vigo_, rather "what" is it [15:01] people you see what i write? [15:01] DrMax__: I'll do some googleing... That might be a feature I want on my laptop too. [15:01] theadmin -.- [15:01] zet: Yah. [15:01] coz_: Older CPU, 1.7g RAM. [15:01] theadmin,well,I just opened them in gedit and it failed,let me also try in Media Player [15:01] Vigo_, that shouldnt be a problem...how much ram and which video card? [15:01] Vigo_: 1.7 gig? That's damn fast to run GNOME... (which runs perfectly well on even 512mb) [15:01] Vigo_: for compiz we only need your video chip, the rest is moot [15:02] please help [15:02] I have some problem, I tried to compile QMYSQL driver on Ubuntu in this way: qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/lib -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro && make. In result: ../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient_r Is it problem with qt? ubuntu? mysql? [15:02] On my dell mini, there's a key with an battery icon; emits xf86battery, and it causes the OSD to display "battery, x hours y minutes left" or something [15:02] Vigo_, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [15:02] coz_: 256mb or so, it is a Radeon 650 series, also ancient in computer terms. [15:02] Vigo_, mm let me check for ati hold on [15:02] but on the macbookpro, there's a gauge key that is used for nothing, I would like to remap it to xf86battery, or at least cause the OSD to display battery status [15:02] n00b_: what are you trying to achieve exactly? [15:02] ##php [15:02] Vigo_, Compiz requires at least a Radeon 7000 (or M6). For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver. [15:03] Vigo_: better than most of my systems here [15:03] Vigo_: I have a Radeon Xpress and it does run Compiz here [15:03] Vigo_, did the video driver install by default on that system? [15:03] I've tried to remap it to 244 (xf86battery) but while xev reports xf86battery as pressed, the OSD is not brought up [15:03] Vigo_: Unsure whether that's "better" or "worse" than what you have :D [15:03] i just want to print all my installed softwares during my startup with a certain time interval [15:04] Hi [15:04] theadmin: Yeah, I am testing stuff for donated laptops on a home box, this is a test, only a test, but backups are still made vigorously. [15:04] n00b_ : man watch [15:04] Vigo_, if you are really concerned about resource useage and you are the cli you can just sudo apt-get install lxde I believe [15:04] watch runs a command periodically [15:04] or lubuntu-desktop [15:04] n00b_: why during startup? It's not going to change between then and login.... [15:04] Hi [15:04] something like watch -n 5 command will execute command every 5 seconds [15:05] no [15:05] how to install intel driver [15:05] I have problems with my scanner scanjet 3770 10.04 system. Ubuntu dont see my scanner.Plz help!

Any easy CLI disk burner? Wanna finally figure how does one do it from CLI [15:05] coz_: Yes I already tried and tested LXDE, !#Crunch seemed to be a bit spiffier, [15:05] n00b_ : try watch -n 2 date [15:05] it will update time/date every 2s [15:05] Vigo_, yeah crunchbang is a bit spiffier but didnt they move away from ubuntu based? [15:06] where should i write this [15:06] in a bash script [15:06] or in system->preference->startup applications [15:06] n00b_: sure but between the battery state and login it won't change, so running a command every 2 seconds or whatever will have zero difference [15:06] ActionParsnip: Yes, you are getting the idea of what I am testing and the parameters that I wish to stay in or under. [15:06] n00b_: if you put the script where DrMax__ says then it will run at logon [15:07] coz_: Crunchbang is, currently, based on Jaunty which will be EOL very, VERY soon. (Altough that may be old info - I'm not watching it that often) [15:07] ActionParsnip : I think he wants to monitor programs loading or something [15:07] Vigo_: yes as I use the same, i find ubuntu disgustingly bloated [15:07] ok, I give up. where do I get the add-apt-repository?

[15:08] feindbild: What is your Ubuntu version? [15:08] Vigo_, yes for sure [15:08] zet: run: lsusb then websearch for the 8 character hex id for guides [15:08] Vigo_: lxde uses openbox by default [15:08] Sorrsorry couldnt understand [15:09] is there a way to configure xchat to automaticaly verify my nic? [15:09] feindbild: isn't it apt-add-repository? [15:09] WolfpupL, auto sign in?

[16:00] karthee: :| === iqbal is now known as Guest62330 [16:00] I'm actually making a backup of a HDD used in a PS2, via my laptop, so I have to use an IDE enclosure, connecting it via USB [16:00] aravind_: Like a Samba Share, sorta thing, (no advert for Samba) just an example, share the folder but use some SEL or security in or on the share. [16:01] Beyecixramd : did i miss any of your chats/questions ? [16:01] I'll try dd_rescue. [16:01] Vigo_: okay! i'll do that...thanks! [16:01] is there any solution for blank sereen problem, i did ctrl+alt+f7 then then booting stopes at chacking battry status, this occure 5 times then ask for login [16:01] karthee: , no you just said "sure" and i asked why you said that, and you replied "yes Beyecixramd" so i'm feeling a bit lost now [16:01] somebody help me [16:02] etotheipi: I second ActionParsnip's ddrescue advice, though I'd recommend GNU ddrescue (from the gddrescue package). [16:02] pls, which would you advise, ubuntu, kubuntu or both? [16:02] vikas: first of all... please improve your english... it hurts :( [16:02] aravind_: You are quite welcome, happy coding. [16:02] i need to export evolution files to outlook [16:02] pls, which would you advise on a netbook, ubuntu, kubuntu or both? [16:02] Vigo_: :) [16:02] ddavids_, try them both [16:02] papcy: that doesn't sound like possible due to Outlook closed source nature [16:02] kubuntu [16:02] Hey. The last time I've used Ubuntu was@6.06 or so, so I'm not really up to date with PulseAudio or anything. How would I go about changing up my sound device's max volume now on 10.04? [16:02] sorry for that my english is very bad [16:02] ddavids_: not both, choose one, install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu or other way round, you can choose at login [16:02] wow [16:03] ddavids_, and ubuntu and kubuntu netbook remixes as well [16:03] hello. my prime partition is shortage of space, so I moved my /home to another partition and created a symbolic links pointed to that. I wonder if I can do the same thing to other root directories. Any suggestions? [16:03] etotheipi: repartition the disk so the partitions are healthy, then restore your data [16:03] vikas: okay, nevermind... you might want to chat in your native language at the ubuntu forums. Oh! and i have no idea about your problem, sorry [16:03] papcy: wow what? [16:03] solotim you should have used lvm if you predicted you would need more space [16:03] andre_: just click the speaker icon [16:04] that's not a pretty workaround [16:04] bazhang: try them one after the other or all at once? [16:04] ActionParsnip: but the partitions *are* healthy -- the HDD works perfectly in the PS2. I just want to transfer the data to a larger disk. also, I don't know of any software able to manipulate the PS2 partition structure [16:04] Thank you one and all, have a great moment. [16:04] ddavids_, up to you; you can install the various metapackages and switch between them at the login window [16:04] but im also not sure if i shld go for the netbook editions or the desktop editions. [16:04] ok no problen [16:04] greetings [16:04] papcy: why dont you have a backup? [16:05] he probably can afford to lose that [16:05] ddavids_, then check out some screenshots online, and see which you like more. [16:05] etotheipi: then i'd use dd_rescue, you can then fsck the image and then use foremost [16:05] papcy: you can extract them from evolution to use in evolution with: http://email.about.com/cs/evolutiontips/qt/et110103.htm [16:06] I'll go try that now; thanks. [16:06] hi there everyone, could anyone council me as to whether or not i can install edubuntu 10 [16:06] hybridvigour: why not?

[16:07] hybridvigour: it should be possible [16:07] hybridvigour, sure you can; edubuntu-desktop package [16:07] papcy: you need to find a plugin or menu item to export to pst [16:07] hybridvigour: upgrade, then install edubuntu-desktop [16:08] hybridvigour: either that, or save yor /home/ and then do a clean install [16:08] karbo: , Beyecixramd gave you another option on how to do it [16:08] hybridvigour: after which you can restore your /home/ [16:08] You can download by axel at higher speed [16:08] karbo: oops sorry wrong nick [16:08] Is the appropriate place to ask how to set up emacs to work as an IDE for python? I'm not sure if its automatic through Ubuntu's repos or not [16:08] MaRk-I: i was asking myself if i missed something xD [16:08] !ide [16:08] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [16:09] whats up floks [16:09] *folks [16:09] Beyecixramd: right now i'm missing my extra tabs :P [16:09] papcy: You can use evolution in windows: http://www.dipconsultants.com/evolution/ [16:10] ActionParsnip: I'm aware of what an IDE is, I was curious if there is a plugin similar to auctex for latec [16:10] latex [16:10] I have problem with Qt cross compiling on ubuntu. any experiences? === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [16:11] econdudeawesome: have you asked in #latex too? === Guest15895 is now known as dmart [16:11] Beyecixramd: thank you [16:11] in fullscreen VLC, my mouse cursor flickers instead of going away. in fullscreen totem, the bottom bar never hides. could this be because of xinerama? [16:11] bazhang: thanks to you [16:11] ActionParsnip no, I set up auctex just fine. Are you being snarky? :-) [16:11] hybridvigour, welcome [16:12] econdudeawesome: not at all :) #latex is specific for latex so they may be able to identify what you need [16:12] bellman: you could try not using it and testing [16:12] ActionParsnip okay. I was actually asking about setting up emacs as a python ide [16:12] I have problem with Qt cross compiling on ubuntu. any experiences? [16:13] mrcan: what is your error? [16:13] i have installed glx-dock but when i takes it nothing comes,after one minute screen goes and log in screen comes [16:13] what is problem [16:13] pLr i ll pm [16:13] please help me [16:14] sreeju: do you have compositing enabled? [16:14] what is that?! [16:14] netsplit [16:14] I noticed a weird issue, NetworkManager keeps claiming that all connections have been last used "Never" [16:14] god... [16:14] !netsplit [16:14] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [16:14] coz_ I used to see those in the 90's--IRC still hasn't fixed the netsplit problem? === xgenesis is now known as Guest40814 [16:14] i compiled it and transfered to board. when try execute it (./helloworld) it says helloworld: no found [16:14] sorry what is compositing? [16:14] econdudeawesome, apparenlty not :) [16:14] sreeju: Visual effects [16:14] Are USB memory sticks LBA-addresable? [16:14] econdudeawesome: irc and tcp are still pretty much as they were [16:15] how to enable it? [16:15] sreeju: Compiz, transparent title bars, and effects [16:15] mrcan: Is the file executable? Are you in same folder as file? Is the file there? [16:15] coz_, econdudeawesome: it's technically not a netsplit, one of the ircd servers has been shut down [16:15] sreeju: right click on the desktop, change wallpaper [16:15] sreeju: it will be enabled automagically when you get 3D accelleration enabled [16:15] sreeju: then head to the effects tab, and click "normal" or "extra", as you like [16:15] ActionParsnip interesting. I would imagine some kind of redundancy would be built in, which dual connections [16:15] tsimpson, ah understood...but nearly the same result :) [16:15] sreeju: it's what enabled transparency and stuff; you need it for glx dock; either enable visual effects in the appearance settings, or try if metacity's compositing option is enough (launch gconf-editor, search apps>metacity then the composite option) === jaay is now known as TheAlmightyGawd [16:16] ActionParsnip: not in my rig, after installing the official nVidia drivers, tho... [16:16] econdudeawesome: put it to the guys in #freenode [16:16] Alo bom dia a todos! [16:16] Beyecixramd: then you need to dig around as to why the driver isnt being enabled. You can look i /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:17] hmmm. I tried using ddrescue (via gddrescue package), but it induces exactly the same behaviour in the hard disk that dd does: it whirrs intensely every few seconds, preventing any ctrl+c interrupts from reaching the program [16:17] hi is it possible to install flash 10 on ubuntu 10.04 ..64 bit processor ? has anybody done that ?? [16:17] ActionParsnip: , no, no, don't worry, i enabled it manually [16:17] scriptwarlock: [16:17] Beyecixramd: good enough :) [16:17] karthee: you need to wrap the 32 bit version [16:17] Por favor, como posso alterar uma linha estranha que está num arquivo etc apt sources.list?

I'm trying to filter out only the PID from a line output from ps.

[16:19] portugese then xD [16:19] Beyecixramd, ah didnt think of that :) [16:19] pLr: Currently I'm doing "$ ps -e | grep processname | sed 's/^ \([0-9]+\).*/\1/'" [16:19] Beyecixramd: How do i wrap the 32 bit version Flash ?

[16:19] karthee: oh sorry, wait a second please [16:19] pLr: Problem is, that spits out the same thing as if I hadn't included the sed command. It doesn't seem to be performing the replacement, assuming I have my regex correct. [16:19] Beyecixramd: sure no problem .. [16:19] karthee: search google for ubuntu 64bit flash there are many how-to guides or maybe someone else has time to help u [16:19] karthee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1329337 [16:20] ACameron: paste it [16:20] ACameron: pipe the output into awk '{ print $1 }'.

Thanks anyway. =) [16:21] thanks for all for the reply [16:21] karthee: im using Gnash, tho, and working perfectly (at least for ut00b) [16:21] ActionParsnip: Oh snap; I should have just used pidof in the first place. XD THank you! [16:21] but in my system i cant enable visual effects [16:21] has somebody saw mr "scriptwarlock" ? [16:21] sreeju: why exactly? [16:21] ACameron: yeah, try not to reinvent the wheel, slows you down [16:21] Beyecixramd: okay .. I ll use that .. [16:21] sreeju: does it give an error or something? [16:22] hello ;) [16:22] karthee: gnash is the FLOSS counterpart to flash... i don't recommend it unless you REALLY love open source, it's a bit buggy sometimes [16:22] ActionParsnip: Hm, pidof doesn't actually find the process, possibly because it only shows up in ps if I use -e [16:22] Is "md5sum /dev/sr1" a proper way of checking md5 of a burned CD?

When I added an ide drive, the sata / system was then called /dev/sdb1 and the other sata got bumped up to sdc1, which was not mounted since it was not in /etc/fstab.. Rebooting put me into manual rescue mode as I had fdisk'ed the additional ide and had not [16:30] yet put a file system on it -- system could not check the new "/dev/sda1". Yikes!

Ubuntu doesn't let me connect from the internet, however if i connect from a server within the network it works properly. The server however hosts a website which is properly functional.. =/ Any tips on how to fix this? I don't know where to start tackeling this problem, i've tried editing the /etc/hosts file, but no effect... [16:33] hotfloppy: Then I must convert /etc/fstab to UUID eh? I read up a little on UUID but I don't see how it fixes the problem yet. [16:33] BluesKaj: anywez .. its not going to ruin anything .. ll be a good experience with something new for me :-) ..

When I go into printing|add|printer then choose network, I put it the IP of my network printer, it finds the port 9100 but then it asks for a username and password. Any idea why?

[16:41] hotfloppy, This is all about /etc/fstab exclusively then. [16:41] hi [16:41] ActionParsnip, I got it, I got it. [16:41] karthee, yes [16:42] ActionParsnip, It's done already. [16:42] BluesKaj: wow .. [16:42] mr_lou: see how many hits you get, its a lot isnt it, if you'd search youd have found them [16:42] ActionParsnip, Whoever made the decision of moving them to the left must have wanted chaos. [16:42] hi [16:42] hotfloppy, That is what I thought it meant too. I am reassured then, thanks to you. [16:42] Dr_Willis, can u help me [16:42] schproodle: IMHO, yes it is. [16:43] mr_lou: why, both sides are equally valid [16:43] I'm not discussing that. [16:43] karthee, anyone can run factoids if they're in the database [16:43] mr_lou: you can even have it on both sides [16:43] schproodle: thanks to user in here. i learnt a lot from them. :) [16:43] Hello,I am still experiencing problems with Persian Subtitles,they change to weird characters,even with gedit they do not get viewed fine [16:43] I'm about to reinstall, if i set a partition that already has data in it as my home partition and tell it to encrypt my home partition during install, will my data get deleted?

[16:44] scriptwarlock: [16:44] can someone recommend a good web interface to manage the server? ie: adding subdomains / domains / databases. Not webmin, but preferably open source (for a Jaunty server) anyone? [16:44] knightstalker: have you got the correct fonts etc installed? [16:44] I seriously hate the gui installer for ubuntu 10.04... [16:44] ActionParsnip, Can you also tell me how to get S-AMR codec support in Kdenlive then? :-P I finally got it in Movie Player but upgrading from Karmic to Lucid. But I need it in Kdenlive too. This time I googled first, and have been reading a thread, but I can't believe it's that difficult. [16:44] why does ubuntu10.04 boot sooo much slower than the previous versions like 9.04...? [16:44] i meant, the liveCD [16:44] Spasysheep,I looked in language support,everything about Persian except Translations are installed,I just logged out and logged in,do I also need to restart? [16:44] mr_lou: have you install kubuntu-restricted-extras [16:45] hi [16:45] meant, the liveCD [16:45] Spasysheep,I looked in language sup [16:45] What do I have to do to get my broadcom wireless to work on my HP ZD7000 notebook with 10.0.4? [16:45] tsolox: if you were in windows, I'd tell you to check what's starting at boot time [16:45] knightstalker: i don't think you should have to, but try it [16:45] tsolox: so check what's starting at boot time [16:45] ActionParsnip, Well, before the upgrade. Dunno if it's been removed during upgrade. But I think I have, since it works in Movie Player. I installed the medibuntu packages as well. [16:45] mr_lou: also: sudo apt-get install amrnb [16:45] vikas? [16:45] sorry [16:45] I have it plugged into a cabled network connection now. [16:45] lol [16:45] ubuntu boot in and it stop at checking battry and then retry 5 times and tell me to login go in command line mode and not starting gdm HELP [16:46] ActionParsnip, amrnb is already the newest version [16:46] hi [16:46] hotfloppy, Like learning a new language. IMHO, if you were off-base someone would probably have jumped on it by now -- from my past experience. I think it is a good Idea to add that "IMHO" -- free advice and all eh? :) [16:46] ActionParsnip, It's a tricky area. No worries. I' [16:46] ActionParsnip, I'll figure it out later. [16:46] okay,going for Restart =( [16:46] Does anyone know when the Kernel update will be coming out? [16:46] ActionParsnip, But it's definitely a challenge, if you miss those. :-P [16:46] Hi. I'm thinking of either use NTFS or ext3 on spare disk - but is there some big disavantages by using ntfs rather than ext3? (I mainly want to use NTFS so I can read it from my dualboot Windows) [16:47] gah great. Disc burning failed (md5sum wrong) and it was my last empty cd. [16:47] can any one give me how to activate ulitmate edition from ubuntu 10.04 [16:47] will setting a partition that has data in it as the encrypted home partition during install destroy the data? [16:47] kk9822: Activate? [16:47] mr_lou: get them every day :) [16:47] how [16:47] was: today if you get it from the git repo [16:47] kk9822: if you're talking about activating windows from linux, you can't [16:47] mr_lou: http://www.mediaconverter.org/ [16:47] daddysmurf, which one is coming today? [16:48] no i want to install ue which is toooo good [16:48] theadmin, yeah i ran a md5 on my last live cd, but i took a chance and it installed just fine. [16:48] kk9822: what's ue? [16:48] was: they get new stuff daily in the source repo, you should be able to goto kernel.org and download your own copy [16:48] ultimate edition [16:48] quit [16:49] no, kk9822 is talking about Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, which I call "bloatbuntu" [16:49] daddysmurf, the problem is I don't know how to install [16:49] why [16:49] !ultimate | kk9822 [16:49] kk9822: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [16:49] ActionParsnip, Yea, I could also convert the files on the girlfriends windoze pc... but then she'd just mock me. [16:49] is it really bloating [16:49] was: probably ought to stay away from it then... it will make your box go bye bye for a long time [16:49] Can anyone help me with a graphics card problem? [16:49] kk9822: This will give you something alike with Ultimate: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop [16:49] was: short of that, you got me beat :) [16:49] Hi. I'm thinking of either use NTFS or ext3 on spare disk - but is there some big disavantages by using ntfs rather than ext3? (I mainly want to use NTFS so I can read it from my dualboot Windows) [16:50] ActionParsnip, We have at least 1 friendly fight about windows vs linux every day. ;-) [16:50] theadmin: I assume that's ubuntu with a lot of pointless shiny stuff added? [16:50] Spasysheep: 3 desktops :/ [16:50] mr_lou: just tell them "every OS sucks" [16:50] daddysmurf, are they gonna send a new kernel with the regular updates anytime soon? [16:50] http://webchat.freenode.net/ [16:50] theadmin: gnome, kde, xfce? all on one system? why? [16:50] no it has lot of stuff inside [16:50] was: no idea, I only update once a millenium anyway [16:50] ActionParsnip, Well I don't think so. Never been so happy with a OS since I switched to Ubuntu. Been on Windows for years, and then Arch Linux for a while. [16:51] Spasysheep: I didn't make it - so I know not. [16:51] Spasysheep: extremist redundancy [16:51] ok thanks [16:51] bye [16:51] is it possible to take a screenshot through the command line? [16:51] daddysmurf, thank you anyways :) [16:51] mr_lou: both have advantages and disadvantages, hence they are all awesome and all suck [16:51] Does anyone else know if they are gonna send a new kernel with the regular updates anytime soon? [16:52] laieman: I had some high cpu issues while writing to ntfs, maybe it's ok for you though; if you want it accessible from windows ntfs is the way to go [16:52] Can anyone help me fix my 3g modem? it's there and recognized as such, i can create a connection. when i try to connect the first time - it shows the connecting-icon for a few seconds and then goes to "Disconnected". If i retry after that it goes to "Disconnected" right away. If i try to connect via wvdial i get "invalid dial command". The SIM has no PIN, i have reception and the problem persists with various providers. I was able to con [16:52] VCoolio: Ok, thanks. [16:53] why my ubuntu is faster then windows 7? [16:53] laieman, I like your logic ...accessing ntfs with linux is easier than the reverse , so I must admit if you need windows access to the drive , ntfs would be easier all around , except for securuity from viruses etc. [16:53] Gintulis: less bloat? [16:53] Gintulis: its lighter [16:53] frxstrem: yes, imagemagick can do it [16:53] Gintulis: It is awesome. [16:53] all: [16:53] Gintulis maybe because you need no antivirus === michaelbuckbee_ is now known as michaelbuckbee [16:54] I wish ubuntu would use the conf.d concept from gentoo... [16:54] VCoolio: okay, thx :P [16:55] Gintulis: run: df -h see how much space is used compared to your crappy windows install [16:55] daddysmurf: i wish documentation of new stuff wouldn't take so long, i mean arch and other semi bleeding edge distros are at least 4-5 versions ahead of ubuntu [16:56] Gintulis: remember ubuntu comes with a full office suite and burning app (and optional codecs) by default, Windows cannot play DVDs and other stuff without paying out for software' [16:56] aeon-ltd: have you ever done documentation? it sucks... [16:56] hi all, i have a lenovo SL400. I wanted to install ubuntu but I couldn't find some of the lenovo products for ubuntu (power manager etc) [16:56] frxstrem: install imagemagick, then 'man import' [16:56] I need some help. I just purchased a new monitor 'View Sonic VG2330wm'. It's only giving me 1024x768. I know it'll give me a much higher resolution than that. How do I fix this? [16:56] VCoolio: okay :) === frxstrem is now known as lucid_lynx [16:56] ActionParsnip: not true, xp, and wmp11 will play dvd's just fine [16:56] daddysmurf: no but support isn't much better considering most people who are new to ubuntu complain on the forums before even consulting man pages or the specifically written ubuntu wiki [16:56] daddysmurf: my XP didnt, had to slam in WinDVD for it to read them or it complained about missing codecs [16:57] ActionParsnip: additionally, it has a fine set of office tools, such as notepad and calculator [16:57] ActionParsnip: yeah.. ubuntu rox ! [16:57] ActionParsnip: you did something wrong :) [16:57] will setting a partition that has data in it as the encrypted home partition during install destroy the data? [16:57] I've never had dvd playing software [16:57] daddysmurf: notepad is slightly lacking compared to openoffice or even abiword [16:58] hmm how do you type an umlaut in gnome?

[20:22] i had to install it [20:22] robotgunslinger: you can always replace the 'auto' with a speed, aka 55MB etc [20:22] video > lspci | grep -i VGA [20:23] Hi there. The multimedia keys in my Toshiba laptop stopped working after I installed 10.04. What can I do to get them back?

I mean: do I need to set up a db and a server, or is this all handled by the CD that loads the db? [20:28] wizard_, um on 10.04 I'm not sure it applies, good luck. [20:28] razer_: there may be a better way but "sudo alsa force-reload" might accomplish that. "sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*" will show you what programs are hooked into sound.

I am trying to setup a Ubuntu virtual machine based dev environment for ruby [20:41] on my laptop.. I have given 2 GB RAM .. [20:41] and I am on an i5 processor [20:41] but the vm seems a little sluggish for development.. are there some optimizations which I can do to increase the performance ? [20:42] falconic, what virtualization software are you using? [20:42] ZykoticK9: Vmware 7.1 on Windows 7 Machine [20:42] I have also tried on a Mac 10.6.4 [20:42] but again the Vm seems a little sluggish. [20:43] Open or closed source? [20:43] falconic, ummm, sorry i have no experience with VMWare - best of luck. I believe VirtualBox is typically faster. [20:43] Oh, sorry, nevermind. [20:43] ZykoticK9: I can try with that also. [20:43] How could i take my pidgin msn chat records for backup??? [20:43] falconic: turn of compiz (visual-effects) ? [20:43] falconic: I use VirtualBox, it works well. [20:43] How could i take my pidgin msn chat records for backup??? [20:43] falconic, VMWare doesn't allow benchmarks to be published - i believe because it is SO slow. [20:44] thune3: already done that [20:44] TheHaplo, pidgin does have a Log option, with timestamp [20:44] ZykoticK9: but the windows machine runs fine. [20:44] I have 512 MB ram for it. [20:44] Is there a way to properly install a program from source and have it replace one from the reps and have aptitude account for it - namely make it know that the "old" version can safely be removed? [20:44] falconic, add more RAM [20:44] and it seems to work fine.. atleast for the basic work.. [20:44] Wlan Problem: Can't set the wlan0 rate above 11M, Connection Info shows Driver rtl8187, actual chip in the stick is rtl8187b. could this be the problem? [20:44] TheHaplo, check in ~/.purple i believe and see if chat logs are in there. sorry Pidgin isn't installed on my machine right now. [20:44] and check your motherboard FSB [20:44] ManDay: thats a big topic [20:44] bogdomania: 2 GB out of 4GB ... is that less ? [20:44] anyone using GPSD with ubuntu 10.4 ? [20:44] ManDay: what do you want to replace [20:45] i have 4g ~600 Mhz and is sluggish [20:45] thank you i will try [20:45] when i compile [20:45] ikonia, dont want, have to. xorg macros for m4 (if thats what you call it) [20:45] its a DDR3 ram. [20:45] i already did ikonia - now i want to make it kinda look proper [20:45] latest Acer 5475G laptop [20:45] falconic, what are you developing? [20:45] ManDay, you can replace the pre-compiled packages with own-build, but with a kernel-update, you have to compile again. [20:45] ManDay: did you remove the package from ubuntu, before installing the compiled one ? [20:45] c,c++java? [20:45] and how is a bin bash script saved? [20:46] .sh??? [20:46] or .ssh??? [20:46] or .bin or .run [20:46] Oer: that's not true, you don't have to recompile with a kernel update [20:46] .sh [20:46] robotgunslinger: are you sure your access point allows 802.11g connections? [20:46] ikonia, no, i didnt, i only backed up the main directory [20:46] filename.sh [20:46] <^peanut^> bash = .sh, perl .pl, etc. etc. [20:46] bogdomania: Ruby [20:46] and can i use the script from any loaction??? [20:46] in various flavors.. Ruby, REE, Jruby etc [20:46] ManDay: ok, my hint is removing the ubuntu packages before dropping new ones in, as that keeps the package manager in check. Also if possible view the ubuntu configure script for that package to get the locations at build time the same [20:46] <^peanut^> if it's in your $PATH [20:46] ikonia, was that a bad idea? [20:46] ManDay: it's not great, but it's not the end of the world either [20:47] thune3: thompson wlan router shows me connected as 11g [20:47] Guest13171, use the entire path when calling the command or copy the script to somewhere in your path [20:47] Guest13171 if you make a directory in your home called bin and dump it in there you should be able to call it from where ever [20:47] falconic, on ruby you can`t do very large projects whatsoever, therefore, with 2gb ram and an intel i5 should work just fine.. [20:47] ikonia, ok, thanks. simply force apt-get to remove the package with ignoring deps, right? [20:47] ManDay: that's how I'd do it [20:47] that`s if you didn`t messed up some config/kernel modules!? [20:47] anybody know the command to enumarate what package in apt provides a specific binary [20:47] ok ikonia thank you :) [20:47] bogdomania: I use netbeans and post gres for development [20:47] hello world [20:47] is that causing the issue? [20:48] hello MrPingouin [20:48] bogdomania: btw.. what makes u feel ruby cant handle big projects ? [20:48] anyone has ever installed a SSD ? [20:48] dselect or dpkg? [20:48] 0_o :)) ruby vs c/c++ ? be serious [20:48] I just bought a crucial c300 and it seems its performances aren't as dreamy as expected [20:48] bogdomania: no comparing the too :) [20:48] wrong comparions [20:48] thune3: iwlist wlan0 scan shows bit rates from 1 Mb/s to 54 Mb/s says IEEE802.11i/WPA 2 Version 1 [20:48] when i say large, i mean LArge [20:48] I do a lot of wed development.. [20:49] web* [20:49] so for that it works well. === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [20:49] @thune3 iwlist wlan0 scan shows bit rates from 1 Mb/s to 54 Mb/s says IEEE802.11i/WPA 2 Version 1 [20:49] bogdomania: any suggested optimizations for a vm machine ? [20:49] look, i`m not against ruby, all i was saying is that ruby is not that mem hungry, in order to slow down your machine.. [20:49] <^peanut^> falconic: fast disk, lots of ram =) [20:50] well 2 GB shd be fine. [20:50] <^peanut^> yeah [20:50] so i would check the tail -f /var/log/messages, and #top .. check for some memory hungry apps [20:50] hard disk .. its a hitachi hard disk.. [20:50] <^peanut^> I use 4g on my servers...just incase =) [20:50] okie [20:50] 4g what? [20:50] Can I get some help with a VPN issue? I am running open VPN on the client side with ubuntu, and I have downloaded a config file from my server along with the key and such. I'm not sure how to get things going from there. [20:50] ^peanut^, i have 4gb on my desktop,and i want more :)) [20:50] <^peanut^> memory Bernardo [20:50] ah [20:50] we use a lot more [20:50] hmmm [20:51] but then how does an equivalent sized windows machine perform better [20:51] and RAID1 hardware [20:51] atleast in general working [20:51] neezer how are you configuring the OpenVPN Client conf, gui? [20:51] and loading of stuff [20:51] <^peanut^> Bernardo: I only have 8 xen images running atm via para-virt. so 4 is more than enough. [20:51] robotgunslinger: driver is supposed to autoshift based on signal quality. You can try setting it higher and see what happens 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M', or some higher one 22M maybe, but you may need to set it back to auto if it doesn't work well. [20:51] falconic, depends on how well optimized is the SO && apps [20:51] i see [20:52] Spanglish_7776, I am using the gui I think....but I downloaded a config file from the server I think? [20:52] does ubuntu have some specicialed kernel or layer for running as virtual guest ? [20:52] for instance, i run quake wars enemy territory on linux,multithreaded with ~= 130 Fps, on win7 with 90 [20:52] !fr [20:52] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [20:52] falconic: no [20:52] <^peanut^> Bernardo: tho, we just ordered 50K worth of gear for the new Xen system I'm putting together...so I might just add more ram to the heavy hit machines [20:52] Spanglish_7776, I also am wondering if it is even possible because the vpn server is behind a router...but it is in the DMZ. [20:53] falconic, btw, compile you own kernel,from source,clean [20:53] :) [20:53] should help a bit [20:53] do u have any suggestions on what I can do ? [20:53] <^peanut^> yea, roll your own's are much better =) [20:53] ^peanut^ in servers or storage also? [20:53] no it won't [20:53] if anything it will cause issues [20:53] or which distro I can use ? [20:53] that is utter nonsense [20:53] actually, our servers boot from the storage there are no local harddisks anymore [20:54] :( I would love too..but a little short on time right now [20:54] neezer should be ok if the dmz allows the default port (1194 I believe) have you tried to see if you can sniff the port to see if it's being forwarded by the router? [20:54] <^peanut^> Bernardo: both. I'll have a 32TB storage to dice up [20:54] i saved a few scripts as ****.sh [20:54] or(who dares) check out and fix drivers on opensolaris :)) [20:54] and how do i run these? [20:54] thune3: if i try to set the rate manually higher than 11M the wlan stick just doesn't connect to the network. Also tryed changing the channel on the router [20:54] ok [20:54] where did you save them Guest13171 [20:54] ? [20:54] in a folder in home folder [20:54] Guest13171, change the perm for them, +x and run them in the shell [20:54] <^peanut^> Guest: where you placed your scripts if you are in the same location, just use ./scriptname [20:55] Spanglish_7776, I'm not familliar with sniffing a port...might take a lot of google? or is there a quick explaination? [20:55] i changed the perm in GUI [20:55] wats +x? [20:55] good enough [20:55] chmod +x script [20:55] how do I recover /dev/null [20:55] h [20:55] blink_: what happened to it ?

[20:55] chmodding and changin perm in nautilus is the SAME right???

Do I have to do something apart from installing it to use compiz? [21:06] n7stic: shel doesn't accept regular expressions [21:06] bogdomania: any way to try a fix? [21:06] Ken_Novo, ok [21:07] working on it.. btw.. if you use the live cd, the disk is mounted? [21:07] <^peanut^> unless use use "find" and "regex" then you could do your rm -r with that [21:07] bogdomania: I am using Ubuntu on a USB memory pin :P [21:07] neezer: open a terminal cd to where the config file is (make sure the keys are where they are specified on the config file) type openvpn config.file [21:07] how do I set a package to manually installed, so things that depend on it can install? I installed it from source [21:07] m7stic: what exactly were you trying to accomplish? [21:07] i'm attempting to keep 01_foo.ogg, but get rid of 01_foo (1).ogg and 01_foo (2).ogg [21:07] in multiple directories [21:07] hellooooo, pleassee, shoutcast don't work into Streamtuner, please, helpppp¡¡¡¡¡ [21:08] m7stic: what about rm ./*(*?

I can't determine what's wrong :S [21:09] gidna, the best chess program for Ubuntu is scid [21:09] m7stic: use find instead of rm, the bash shell expansions will only apply to the current directory, so it won't work recursively [21:10] I'm editing /etc/resolv.conf but after a while it gets resetted. How do I specify the DNS servers once and for all? [21:10] trism, ok [21:10] Doesn't the basic chess one that come with Ubuntu dothat? [21:10] kuuh, does not work :-( [21:10] do that* [21:10] trism, so i would pipe my find output to rm? [21:10] alzamabar do you get your IP via DHCP?

[21:10] m7stic: most general and portable way to do this would be: find . -name '*\([0-9]\).*' -exec rm '{}' \; [21:10] gNewPower It's a database or a program? [21:10] gNewPower, damn mine doesn't and i can't figure out why [21:11] the full version or the remix version? [21:11] m7stic: bash4 can do expansion recursively with ** maybe rm -rf **/*\(?\).* [21:11] glickinator: i am [21:11] and super+e works fine [21:11] peanut, i dont undertand u [21:11] m7stic: not sure whether the brackets need to be escaped, though.

[21:11] rm what [21:11] glickinator: full [21:11] TNSe, Bios -> set the Sata to compatibility mode === peter is now known as Guest12671 [21:11] gidna, is a full chess program [21:11] glickinator: my roomate is running nbr [21:11] Spanglish_7776, I'm working on it...I forgot where I put them, and I don't have an /etc/VPN folder or a .VPN in my /home/name directory...trying to remember where I put them. [21:11] gidna, check out the website. google 'scid chess' [21:11] bogdomania: ouch, gotta reboot then, and since I'm on a memory chip that means I'll lose everything here XD [21:11] erUSUL, Ken_Novo Trism i will try those in order of simplicity =D [21:11] but thanks for tip, I'll try that soon [21:12] how is it e10byagrue ? is it much better then jaunty? [21:12] gidna, its the best chess software out there, better thant the commercial ones [21:12] gNewPower I'm installing it now.. [21:12] gidna: what ? [21:12] save your work [21:12] Is there a way to fix the issue with bootdelay due to nforce drivers ? for sm_bus ? [21:12] and reboot [21:12] glickinator: which version? [21:12] gidna, its awesome, you will see [21:12] oops [21:12] neezer do you remember what they are called? [21:12] glickinator: what ? [21:12] e10byagrue, the full version [21:12] neezer the file [21:12] m7stic: well; be carefull when using rm -rf ; try first with echo [21:12] gidna, make sure to install all the chess engines like stochfish and toga2 [21:12] in ls -a, what are the different columns?, 'chmod ? chown ? size last-modified-date last-modified-time filename'? [21:12] What could cause input lag in a terminal? [21:12] erUSUL, thank you for the reminder [21:12] yeah. I have them in my downloads folder still, but I moved them somewhere else too. === Guest12671 is now known as peter_z [21:13] gNewPower I have gnu chess [21:13] Spanglish_7776, above ^^^ [21:13] CrayonOfDoom: ssh, cmd not found? [21:13] or even nbr, i want to use my netbook for some drupal dev === peter_z is now known as Guest12671 [21:13] neezer do sudo updatedb and then do locate filename of config [21:13] gidna, gnu chess does not come near Stockfish or Toga2 or Glaurung [21:13] i'm in through SSH, would that just be network latency? [21:13] gidna, good luck!! [21:13] i wish ubuntu had an easy way to manage services [21:13] like it used to have [21:13] alright, I need to rebuild gnome-volume-control-applet from source because the volume step by mouse wheel is hard coded instead of referencing the value in gconf. where I can I find the build settings that were used in creating the package in apt so I can replicate it on my own machine (with the change in source to fix this) [21:13] and like suse has [21:13] Spanglish_7776: why? [21:13] glickinator: it runs pretty well. I have no complaints besides my aircrack-ng [21:14] acovrig: are you asking about columns or colors? [21:14] Ubuntu Brainstorm allows you give ideas for that, Glickinator. [21:14] gNewPower I don't see toga2 in che ubuntu software center [21:14] <^peanut^> blink_: you might want to try #ubuntu-dev [21:14] guntbert: columns, not colors, I have no colors (ssh connection) [21:14] m7stic: OK, the brackets do not need to be escaped so it's find . -name '*([0-9]).*' -exec rm '{}' \; [21:14] Gidna: check repos. [21:15] Anyone know where I can find detailed information about the "d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string" in a preseed? [21:15] acovrig neezer forgot where he moved a file to I was showing him how to search for it, command line. (at least the way I do it) [21:15] belkinsa, it used to have it, under system->administration->services [21:15] acovrig: I asked because ls -a has no columns by default, that would be ls -l [21:15] then they took it out for some reason [21:15] Then ask for it! [21:15] alrighty [21:15] m7stic and to test beforehand whether you're removing the right files it's simply find . -name '*([0-9]).*' [21:15] best gnome-compliant FTP client? [21:15] are there any ubuntu distributions that already have everything in it? compiz, etc [21:15] Maybe people will agree. [21:15] Spanglish_7776: lol, I thought you meant never, not neezer, ok [21:15] guntbert: then yes, idk why I said -a instead of -l [21:16] Jibmo: Ubuntu has Compiz in it [21:16] Spanglish_7776, I may have made a mistake, I went to / and did "grep -r ca-cert.pem" this could take a LONG time couldn't it. [21:16] acovrig. ;) [21:16] Ken_Novo, thank you [21:16] Jibmo: for a great out-of-the-box experience, i recommend SUSE or Sabayon [21:16] neezer cntrl + C [21:16] kool [21:16] neezer should stop the process [21:16] belkinsa What should I do? [21:16] Plymouth segfaults under KVM when booting; I am not sure why and it can't be uninstalled since it depends on too much of the core system components (who the hell knows why). How do I disable it? [21:16] i got everything working well, but didnt put it onto its own partition [21:16] Beyecixramd: Places>connect to Server [21:16] Spanglish_7776, that worked, is there a faster way to search than grep? [21:16] acovrig: its permissions, link count, owner, group, size, time stamp, name [21:17] erUSUL: oh... Nautilus does that? [21:17] :D [21:17] thanks erUSUL [21:17] locate [21:17] Beyecixramd: no problem [21:17] Beyecixramd: isn't Ubuntu a great out-of-the-box experience? === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [21:17] guntbert: thanks, that's quite handy lol [21:17] but you'll want to do a updatedb (with sudo [21:17] Anyone know of an app to test reaction time? (preferably one in the repos) [21:17] neezer ^^ [21:17] acovrig: for details please see: man ls [21:17] figure002: yeah, but it lacks private codecs and private drivers... [21:18] sabayon looks purdyy [21:18] got it! was /etc/openvpn, not /etc/vpn [21:18] Beyecixramd: yeah, that's true [21:18] Figure: Install Restricted Extras. [21:18] Spanglish_7776, ^^^ one second I have to go back and see what I'm supposed to do. [21:18] neezer: ok [21:19] so sabayon is gonna have my ati drivers and schtuff [21:19] Ginda: Did you get my PM? [21:19] Jibmo, not even windows has *everything* in it,after a fresh install [21:19] you can customize your installation after [21:19] yep [21:19] belkinsa: yep, i already have. thanks though.

[21:22] oops [21:22] !home | MetalGeek_N00b [21:22] MetalGeek_N00b: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [21:22] but apart from that, it's pretty good [21:23] could anyone help me by a little problem? [21:23] neezer do you know how to see if you have a group "nobody" on your system? [21:23] what is your problem [21:23] !ask | buddha_ [21:23] buddha_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:23] sorry mes amis, hellooooo, pleassee, shoutcast don't run into Streamtuner, please, helpppp¡¡¡¡¡ [21:23] I get what /home is, My question is if i should gparted or not to help with my aims [21:24] Spanglish_7776, I went to the GUI users and Groups and the clicked manage groups. I have a nogroup, but not a nobody [21:24] MetalGeek_N00b, just take a look at the link I guess everything is explained there [21:24] neezer open the config file and put nogroup instead of nobody and try again [21:25] ok my problem: i downloaded the teamspeak 3 client and run the .run file, so i get a folder with much files and other folders......with a start-script and so on.....could i create a desktop icon or somethink or must i start the script everytime? [21:25] When playing video (in Movie Player, VLC, Banshee, etc.) I can hear the audio but the area where the video should appear is black. Can't find anything similair on the internet. Any suggestions what to do next? [21:25] Hey, anyone know about running Ubuntu on an IBM ThinkCentre A58? According to the certification thing on ubuntu.com this model is "Ready", but it doesn't say what ready means! [21:25] Iv'e got the link, its up in front of me, My question is about gparted!!! [21:25] could it be partly because the owner fo the config file is root, and not nathan? [21:25] from apt-get [21:26] sudo apt-get install gpardted? [21:26] anyone can help me by my problem? [21:26] seanh_, ready ? i asume they tested the model and find no problem installing Ubuntu. [21:26] @buddha: Are you asking how to run the script for a launcher on your desktop? [21:26] graprted* [21:26] belkinsa, ?! [21:26] neezer: nah that shouldn't make a difference unless you need to edit it maybe [21:26] markben, he is [21:27] seanh_, try it yourself with live-cd [21:27] buddha_, right click your desktop and click add launcher [21:27] neezer but there is no nobody group and it doesn't like that [21:27] i dont want to have the folder on my desktop i only want a icon to start teamspeak 3 [21:27] buddha_: it seems that teamspeak is in the Ubuntu repository. There's no need to manually download it from a website. Just start up your package manager, and search "teamspeak", then install it. [21:27] belkinsa, Its from instructions i got here http://www.go2linux.org/how-to-move-home-directory-to-another-partition [21:27] lol nice [21:27] Oer I don't have the machine yet, thinking about buying if (I'm sourcing a new desktop for a local charity) [21:27] i love ubuntu [21:27] Hi can anyone help me. I have a data partition which I use for data and I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 lite and somehow the partion is now showing lost+found folder which I think has my data in it. But I cant access it as it says I do not have permission [21:27] buddha_: Your package manager should automatically create a shortcut in the Main Menu. [21:27] and the community is awesome [21:27] Metal: Then what's the problem? [21:28] @buddha: Me too! :) [21:28] hellooooo, pleassee, shoutcast don't work into Streamtuner, please, helpppp¡¡¡¡¡ [21:28] so anyone german? [21:28] oke seanh_ good start to look your model up, maybe you can try the live cd in the store. [21:28] fat00: lost+found is where fsck puits things if it finds filesystem errors and recovers files. access it as the root user and see whats in there. [21:28] im french [21:28] Buddha_: Neezer is [21:28] belkinsa, I want to know if its any good/stable (gparted) [21:28] Can anyone help me out with a blank screen when playing back video in Movie Player?

COmpiz is not running and i cannot figure out why. does anyone have an idea why... I'm using the Nvidia drivers and they are up an running... any ideas? [21:29] eremita, see here http://badan.wordpress.com/2008/10/17/how-to-make-shoutcast-work-in-streamtuner/ [21:29] Hi Dr , but how do I access it as root [21:29] fat00, sudo su - [21:29] Metal: Ask a better question than that fragment that I saw. [21:29] well, i changed it and now I'm getting a connection refused. I've checked the server firewall, and it has the port open. i also changed the user to nathan in the file bacause it was nouser. anyways, here is the error from the connection being refused. http://paste.ubuntu.com/464216/ [21:29] in my pachage manager is only the teamspeak 2 [21:29] fat00: via the terminal is one way. 'sudo -s' then cd to /media/whatever/lost+found [21:29] thats a big problem [21:29] Metal: Okay, sorry , nevermind. [21:29] markben, Have you installed codecs? [21:29] belkinsa, buddah, i am nowhere near close to being german. just living in germany. [21:29] (bogdomania) ty [21:29] ok thx ill try now [21:29] np [21:30] No worries, cheers anyway bel [21:30] @MetalGeek: I have installed everything it's asked. I can't even play the ogv video included in the Examples folder with 10.04 though. [21:30] @MetalGeek: I did notice if I take a screenshot by pressing CTRL+s while in movie player I can see the video image. [21:30] buddha_: hmm, yes.. in that case, if you want the newest version, you do have to manually download it from a website ;) [21:30] neezer is the server using udp or tcp protocol? on the config it looks like it's using udp it has to be the same on the server. [21:31] I have a folder that I want user1,user2 to be able to read,write; does `chown -R user1:group dir` allow that given user1,user2 are both in that group? [21:31] @MetalGeek: It's really weird! [21:31] markben, did you install Ubuntu restricted extras? [21:31] am noob so only an idea but i hope it can help [21:32] @MetalGeek: I did install VLC from the software centre recently. Would that of installed them? I'll look in Synaptic and see if their installed... === Guest61912 is now known as jmad980 [21:32] hi...cannot edit rp_filter...fsync error...any advice? [21:33] @MetalGeek: Yes, I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [21:33] Metal: Ditto. [21:33] markben, You get them from the apt-get repository. sudo apt-get install Ubuntu-restricted-extra [21:33] I'm using 2.6.2 on an ubuntu 9.04 box, the optparse module doesn't appear to be avail. python.org said its part of the python stdlib [21:33] sorry extras [21:33] python 2.6.2* [21:33] sorry, thats me outta ideas then, what type of video was it again [21:34] Hi: I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04 and am trying to learn more about /etc/rc*.d, runtimes, and startup processes. running sysv-rc-conf still shows packages that are no longer installed, can someone point me to a comprehensive guide / tutorial to removing unused startup processes from their runtime directories so that they no longer show up in sysv-rc-conf? [21:34] @MetalGeek: No worries, I'm stumped too. I've tried playing back .ogv, .mov, and .flc videos. [21:34] how i install teamspeak 3? [21:34] @MetalGeek: They seem to play the audio but it's like the compositing system isn't outputing the video onto the screen. [21:34] any helpers for iptables multihomed routing? [21:34] Markben: Is just a movie file not a stream> [21:35] Spanglish_7776, I'm not too sure. The server isn't ubuntu....it is clearOS...it just has buttons to download the proper config and keys and certificates. [21:35] buddha open a terminal and type apt-get install teamspeak [21:35] piov: define " multihomed routing " [21:35] doing port based routing over two wan links [21:35] buddha_: just run the .run file like you said. [21:35] i did fresh install just two days ago, Ubuntu 10.04, downloaded restricted extras and all is well, .mov definatly play, i think you need someone eith more linux experience [21:35] Or use Symthpaic Package Manger. [21:35] @belkinsa: Correct. I'm using /usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase/UbuntuIsHumanity.ogv as my test file since it ships with Ubuntu 10.04 [21:36] anyone have recommendations for good editors to use in terminal? I use textmate everywhere locally, but for ssh i cant stand vi [21:36] haro: it is, it is included with python by default, and is part of the python2.6-minimal package [21:36] effowe: ubuntu is movuing to using upstart the use of rc* and sysv is slowly getting phased out [21:36] trism, exactly my problem :| [21:36] @MetalGeek: Yeah, I can't figure out what's changed recently. I swear this was working recently but I haven't watched any videos in a few weeks. [21:36] effowe: many services are started from /etc/init now [21:36] Spanglish_7776: he wants teamspeak 3, the repo has version 2 [21:36] neezer ah, hmmm.. I have a similar setup also, I use ebox and it has the option to download a zip with the config and keys, etc. hmmm.. [21:36] thatryan: nano is a lightweight fav of mine [21:36] dr_willis: any sort of guide I can read about this stuff? [21:36] figure002 gotcha [21:37] haro: does /usr/lib/python2.6/optparse.py exist? [21:37] MetalGeek: Thank-you for the thoughts though. I appreciate the help! [21:37] erUSUL: may i pm....channel moving too quickly? [21:37] buddha make sure the run file is marked as executable and run it. [21:37] racethesunlive: thank you ill check it out [21:37] trism, yes [21:37] effowe: check the ubuntu wiki and forums for upstat guides.. short info.. all started from /etc/init, theres not really any runlevles. :) rename a /etc/init/whatever.conf to whatever.DONTRUN to disable a service [21:37] Spanglish_7776, I'm looking in the config file on my server, and I don't see anything about udp in there or tcp for that matter. [21:37] dr_willis: Thanks for the help :) am heading there now [21:37] hi, I can access phppgadmin using localhost/phppgadmin but not using 192.168.1.30/phppgadmin any solution? [21:38] piov: well i think that "doing port based routing over two wan links" goes over my capavilities sorry [21:38] erUSUL: Thanks [21:38] markben, You said that you tried VLC and mplayer [21:38] Spanglish_7776, nvm, it says proto udp on the second line...right after port 1194 [21:38] piov: maybe in #networkng ? [21:38] piov: or #ubuntu-server [21:38] haro: in a python shell, import sys, "/usr/lib/python2.6" in sys.path should return true [21:38] neezer I'm wondering if your router is not configured right [21:38] trism, i found the problem [21:39] the server is in the dmz. [21:39] haro: although, if it is not, then you have bigger problems, and python likely wouldn't work correctly [21:39] haro: what was the problem? [21:39] trism, thanks. had a bad character in the file [21:39] MetalGeek: I tried VLC and totem. Also tried out Banshee [21:39] wasnt even being imported.. [21:39] :| [21:39] could the isp be blocking the port? i know they block any incomming on port 80...i have to run my website on 443 as an https site. [21:39] neezer, I would assume anything not being forwarded would go to the dmz, there isn't a rule for forwarding port 1194 right? [21:39] nope. [21:40] there are no forwarding rules at all on the router. just the server on the dmz. [21:40] neezer, change the port on the server conf and restart it and then change it on the client conf and try again [21:40] figured it would be easier than only forwarding specific ports. [21:40] So dose anyone know it gparted is any good or would you suggest that i use the crerate a seperate home web page instructions [21:41] MetalGeek_N00b: i always make a seperate /home/ parittion.. and gparted works very well.. [21:41] neezer that would answer the question if the port is being blocked. [21:41] me stupid, live cd uses gparted dos'nt it? duh!! [21:41] hey guys what's the right channel to ask about security in? [21:41] same thing sorry [21:41] security/penetration testing [21:41] hi! I've noticed that ubuntu *alone* takes about 350MB of RAM. is this normal? [21:42] !ram | lor [21:42] lor: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [21:42] MetalGeek_N00b: never noticed.. the installer has its own partitioning tool. You can use any of them you want [21:42] an/quit [21:42] MetalGeek_N00b: gparted has worked fine for me in the past [21:42] markben, Could be worth a try. I find Dr Willis in the main ubuntu room very helpfull also. [21:42] Spanglish_7776, any particular port that might be good? I'm trying 2223 cause I know that 2222 for my ssh is good. [21:42] lor: what 'ubuntu alone' ? ubuntu is an operating system.. so that dosent make much sence .. [21:42] Dr_Willis, a clean ubuntu setup [21:42] neezer any port that is open (free) should be ok. [21:43] sup [21:43] lor: so the operating system is using ram.... is that supriseing? [21:43] ForestBear: try ##security [21:43] Dr_Willis, just Gnome running, no firefox, anything. 350MB is too much [21:43] lor: no its not. [21:43] Lor: Is it using to much? [21:43] lor: see the 'linux ate my ram ' web site to learn how linux handles ram. [21:43] lor: what do you want your ram for? to sit there empty? free ram == wasted ram [21:44] it's not cached ram [21:44] it's used [21:44] lor: I have 310 MB of RAM use.d [21:44] It's normal. [21:44] and its been decided that 300+ is too much beause? [21:45] is it possible to use my ubuntu desktop as a hands-free adapter for my BlackBerry? [21:45] Misantropo: you mean as a speaker/mic ? [21:45] lor, try sudo cat /proc/meminfo [21:45] Dr_Willis, well I just have 768MB of ram on my PC [21:45] Dr_Willis, yes [21:46] Misantropo: never heard of it being done. I would be suprised if it was doable. [21:46] Thanks for help earlier. [21:46] lor: there is xubuntu, and lubuntu for lower end machines. [21:47] Misantropo: http://nohands.sourceforge.net/ [21:47] Dr_Willis: Any thoughts on why my video my playback but only render black where the video is supposed to be? I've got the codecs installed, and am running on nvidia graphics drivers. [21:47] hey [21:47] llutz, thanks, checking it out [21:47] * TNSe släps a trout around a bit with a large bogdomania! [21:47] once pulseaudio has been removed how does one bring up the alsa volume controls please? there's no longer any sound or volume option in prefs or admin. i think it's a terminal command, alsa-x, x being the unknown? [21:47] TNSe, yes? [21:47] sometimes when I wake up from hibernate, my wireless doesn't work, and I have to restart. I tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, sudo ifconfig wmaster0 down/up, and sudo rmmod ath5k and sudo modprobe ath5k but none of it keeps me from having to reboot. [21:47] bogdomania, I didn't get it to work, but I solved my original problem. Just wanted to thank for help anyway1 [21:48] Right click and enable Networking. [21:48] markben: does it seem to be actually playing the video? making noise? run the video player from terminal, and look for error messages yet? [21:48] belkinsa, talking to me? [21:48] ok :) [21:48] Yes, Seidos. [21:48] you`re welcome [21:48] Now I gotta buy a new harddisk tho [21:48] speak italiy [21:48] since S.M.A.R.T. claims its failing [21:48] !it | edward_92 [21:48] edward_92: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:48] Sedios: If you have your icon on your panel. [21:48] What is the accepted, portable way to include interpreter options in the shebang line, ie. how can I do something like (#!/usr/bin/env python -c) and get it to be parsed correctly? Right now ubuntu seems to just glom the whole thing together. [21:49] TNSe: ive noticed the smart warnings often.. well.. a little over senesitive.. however it does pay to have backups. :) [21:49] belkinsa, tried that, doesn't work. Also, when I do the command sudo ifconfig up I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464224/ [21:49] Dr_Willis: It does seem to be playing yes. I can hear audio and jump through the video. I'll try looking for error messages on the console right now... [21:49] neezer: I have to get going, good luck. [21:49] Dr_Willis, yes. Todays mishap was due to double power outtage [21:49] markben: last i saw somthing similer to that it was some sorrt of 'direct rendering' issue. [21:49] power outtage during repair [21:49] made it worse [21:50] markben, try changing your output x11/xv/gl and see if that changes anything [21:50] TNSe: :() thunderstorms? [21:50] yes [21:50] Seidos: Then I don't know what to do, sorr. [21:50] Spanglish_7776, it still isn't working...I think i might have an idea....the address in my config file looks wrong...it says server.neezer.poweredbyclear.com and i think that isn't getting my request to the server. when I change it to my proper domain, I get a different error message. Thanks Spanglish_7776. I have to get to bed now too anyways.... [21:50] once pulseaudio has been removed how does one bring up the alsa volume controls please? there's no longer any sound or volume option in prefs or admin. i think it's a terminal command, alsa-x, x being the unknown? ubuntu 10.04 [21:50] But I finally got it fixed so now I can ... go sleep instead of doing what I was supposed to do 8 hours ago [21:50] laeg, "alsamixer" [21:51] ZykoticK9: Can you elaborate a bit on that. How do I change my output? It does seem like a rendering problem as I'm able to see a screenshot of the current frame if I take a screenshot in totem. [21:51] *sigh* >_< [21:51] Anyway, thanks for the help here, beats the crap out of nearly anything else I've tried to get help on online :D [21:51] Markben: DO you know how to run the debug" command? [21:51] markben: in the mplayer and vlc configs theres a 'video out' option. or use (in mplauyer i think) the -vo XXXX option [21:51] markben, don't think it is possible with Totem - try mplayer or VLC for better results [21:51] markben: i always use mplayer or vlc. i rarely bother with totem [21:52] Dr_Willis, Zykotic: Trying in vlc right now. [21:52] Now we just gotta get blizzard to make games native for linux and I can swap perma :P [21:52] ZykoticK9: ty, was trying alsa-mixer. === thatjoshguy is now known as og420josh [21:53] hi evb [21:53] TNSe: Agree. [21:53] Agreed* === thiago_ is now known as ToyMaster127 [21:54] anyone else running into issues with quotas becoming desynced from du ? === avidya is now known as wai [21:54] D3 on a dedicated gaming machine with ubuntu would be niec. [21:54] if I run quotacheck it fixes it, but I've had to do this a couple times now [21:56] Hi [21:56] hi [21:57] I'm trying to setup a syslog server on Ubundu for my Cisco devices. I've installed syslogd, and in syslogd.conf I've added "local7.* /var/log/cisco.log". I enabled logging on my cisco device and when I tcpdump I see local7 packets coming through on my eth0 interface OK. However they're not showing up in cisco.log [21:57] Anyone know why? [21:57] or how I can begin to troubleshoot? [21:58] llutz, thanks, i have to restart for my blue tooth adapter to work, but thanks, the app seems to be what i want [21:58] how do I find out which is the current video driver loaded? [21:58] anyone? [21:59] I need to know which display driver is currently loaded [21:59] jiffe: if I remember correctly you have to run quotacheck via cron regularly (but that was long ago for me, so I might err) [21:59] check the xorg.conf file [21:59] see wich one is loaded [21:59] Theaxiom, "lspci -vnvn" and find the VGA section then the line "Kernel driver in use:" [21:59] bogdomania, there is not one [21:59] brack10: might sound silly, but after changing syslog, you restarted syslogd, right? [21:59] Dr_Willis, Zykotic: The video plays back when I choose X11, or OpenGL video. Default and GNU/Linux framebuffer just display black. [22:00] guntbert: I was talking with someone who runs slackware who doesn't have to do this though [22:00] oCean_: Yeah I did [22:00] guntbert: so I'm not sure whats different and why I would need to [22:00] markben, just use OpenGL [22:00] Dr_Willis, Zykotic: Is there a setting I can change so this affects the whole system? [22:00] guntbert: it seems like a major hack to have to run quotacheck, there's no reason for that in a working system [22:00] I basically followed this tutorial http://www.aboutdebian.com/syslog.htm [22:00] Zykotic: OK, I've set VLC of OpenGL [22:00] brack10: ok, and syslogd is enabled to listen -r ? [22:00] except I did local7.* [22:01] oCean_: Yeah [22:01] !tab > markben [22:01] markben, please see my private message [22:01] SYSLOGD="-r -m0" [22:01] ZykoticK9, try with lsmod [22:01] Has anyone noticed a bug where your Empathy contact list stops updating after you're logged in for so long? [22:02] it should be listed [22:02] jiffe: as I said, that was several years ago on a suse system - so just take it as a starting point [22:02] anyone here use Munin? === thatjoshguy is now known as og420josh [22:02] brack10: ok. Using 'logger' you could do some testing. Like "logger -p local7.info this is a test" [22:02] !anyone | Kream [22:02] Kream: 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? [22:02] bogdomania, wrong person i think. [22:03] I guess I'm looking for pointers as to what I might be doing wrong that would cause the quota count to become desynced and what I might do to fix it [22:03] sry , that was for Theaxiom [22:03] besides running quotacheck [22:04] is anyone know a fix for a nforce smbus error at boot ? [22:04] oCean_: That worked... [22:04] in terminal, how can I pass the function keys (F1-F12) through? [22:04] brack10: hmm.. but not from the cisco equipment? That's strange [22:04] oCean_: Yeah. I see the packets hitting clear as day [22:05] Is there a way to log out and log back in but save all the windows that were opne? [22:05] *open?

[22:06] Eventyret: It doesn't matter if it's terminal or not. [22:06] brack10: thinking here... how to trace where those packets end up :s [22:06] oCean_: I can dump the whole packet and load it up in wireshark I guess [22:07] jalexbrown: oh well im using irssi so :) then i can just use /set but then again i dunno on normal linux :P === mike_ is now known as Guest43302 === Guest43302 is now known as mrod [22:07] oh uhm jalexbrown [22:07] oCean_: I haven't been reading all the posts, but would traceroute work? [22:08] brack10: Indeed. Also, could you test from a non-cisco client? e.g. an ubuntu box, you could try the logger tool there [22:08] jalexbrown: nope, it's about remote syslogd [22:08] Oh, okay...nevermind then...carry on. :P [22:09] oCean_: alright I'll try [22:10] I've got video playback working in VLC now by selecting the OpenGL output. Does anyone know how to change the video output for the entire desktop to default to OpenGL so that totem and other video players will also work? [22:11] Hello, I have a system that will only run in text modes and I'd like to set it up as an XDMCP server using gdm. However gdm seams to want to also install the xserver. What can I do? [22:11] hi, how can i make these overlays on the screen appear when i adust brightness or volume of my notebook? [22:11] markben, what graphic card are you using? nvidia by any chance? [22:11] Is there a gdm-nox11server? [22:11] Okay, does anyone know what the 10.04 equivalent of System -> Preferences -> Session would be? [22:12] BadElvis, libnotify-osd, i use them for phone call and other notifications on my htpc when watching tv...could give you my script [22:12] jalexbrown: I think the UI for that was removed when the backend was changed and the tool just never got ported over. [22:13] I found what I was looking for. [22:13] I was looking for session saving. [22:13] oCean_: How do you use logger to send to another host? [22:13] Monty: thanks, if i only use it for standard overlays is there also need for scripting? [22:14] BadElvis, no, it's just a cli call [22:14] How to integrate Project M visualization with Alsaplayer or Totem? I have installed XBMC, and it works nicely there. [22:14] brack10: you would have to change the /etc/syslog.conf on that client. Where /var/log/messages is, you have to write @hostname [22:15] Monty: i will take a look at it. strange, some older version of ubuntu had this already installed, i think. maybe it was dropped. [22:16] where can I find a good walkthrough on creating a multiple boot usb drive with different linux distros [22:16] BadElvis, I wrote a script some time ago, because there were some session-problems with dbus... i'll pastebin it...mom [22:16] Do anyone know a way to underclock an ATI graphics card as much as you want?

[22:19] Markben: It's and I am glad you are a part of it. [22:19] Monty: ah, i seem to have libnotify1 and notify-osd. so maybe i have it already installed and only need to make it start automatically [22:19] the best way to use projectM is to compile it yourself and then use the projectM-pulseaudio app [22:19] Are there any scripting/programming gurus in here?

[22:21] <_Richie_> /msg NickServ identify rasrichi [22:21] heya. i was runnin karmic for a while, just upgraded to lucid from the package manager, and after the restart everything is borked [22:22] jalex_brown: i believe it does but never tried it. are you talking about evolution? or tomboy? [22:22] _Richie_: oops! [22:22] everything. where do i go from here? [22:22] BadElvis, http://pastebin.com/qUe481bt [22:22] _Richie_: better change passwords [22:23] Ddorda: I was talking about if you just click on the date/time in your toolbar. [22:23] i formatted my usb to ntfs, then deleted it then formated to fat32, now it doesn't want to let me format to ntfs.. i allready unmounted it :X [22:23] Which apparently links to Evolution. [22:23] What dows this mean? E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list (dist parse) [22:23] jalex_brown: i don't use the panels so i don't have that tool [22:24] Do you have Evolution? [22:24] AnxiousNut: what does line one of that file say? [22:24] Gm4n i need help with gparted [22:24] it could be referring to a different distro than your current one [22:24] jalex_brown: i have but i don't use it [22:25] YromrakS: I'm no huge expert, but I can try and help. what's up? [22:25] BadElvis, for use with icons I call it: notify.sh -i totem-tv "message". The DBUS stuff may only be needed when using it outside the current x-session. i guess you then have to set the diisplay in term [22:25] gm4n i had a fat32 usb that i turned into a ntfs, then i deleted it, and formated it into fat32 [22:26] oCean_: So I did local7.* @X.X.X.X for the IP of the syslogd computer, but they're not showing up in tcpdump. Did I do that right? [22:26] masen: im actually not sure, im helping a guy who doesnt know english on a forum, i just need to know what it means, and what "dist parse" mean [22:26] gm4n i unmounted it and it doesn't want to let me turn it into a ntfs again [22:26] YromrakS: you shouldn't need to use gparted for that, you're just trying to reformat a single partition [22:26] Ddorda: Try RedNotebook. I've not used it myself, but it looks good from screenshots. Might be what you want. [22:27] jalex_brown: thanks, i will :) === _endo602 is now known as endo602 [22:27] is it normal for the taskbar to disappear forever after I change the resolution? [22:27] gm4n i'm noob, where would i reformat a single partition [22:27] AnxiousNut: i believe it referres to the distribution that you're trying to get code for. Each line in an APT src file has: deb uri distribution var1 var2 [22:28] how do i tell what video driver i'm using? [22:28] gm4n i think i found it [22:28] YromrakS: I'm not really much of an ubuntu user, and I don't run my linux systems with GUIs. So I can only tell you how to do things from a commandline [22:28] I have a question? Why do I have to manually set my audio to microphone? why doesn't it detect this and automatically turn my speakers off and put sound through the headphones? i have to go to sound pref, output, and choose connector [22:28] k [22:28] brack10: don't think so. I tried the same: on the client in /etc/syslog.conf, around line 39 or 40 there is /var/log/messages ("Some catch-all logfiles"). I changed /var/log/messages to @mysysloghost, restarted syslog, and my testmessages shows up in tcpdump *and* in the file specified for local7.* [22:28] do you understand the difference between a partition and a filesystem? [22:28] if the file has distribution as lucid, but the system is running karmic it wont work [22:28] Monty: thanks for the script [22:29] ack, headpones, not microphone [22:29] masen, but ir should work if it was on lucid but written of karmic, right? [22:30] Alonea: because that's a driver bug which you should file by running "ubuntu-bug -s audio" [22:30] anyone have experience with creating startup scripts [22:30] oCean_: oh ok I'm doing it too lwo [22:30] low* [22:31] i'm trying to retrofit http://www.server-world.info/en/CentOS_5/lsync/1.html [22:31] to ubuntu [22:32] maco: ok, which of the 4 options should I choose? will there be a box to describe whats wrong? [22:32] BadElvis, did it help you? the sudo call was just to make sure that the currently in x logged user is used [22:32] when i go to gnome-look to get some ubuntu themes i dont see any all i see is in the list gtk1 gtks metacity and etc--will any of these work with ubuntu? [22:32] Alonea: what are the options it gives? and yes itll eventually take you to a web browser to type an explanation. the options determine what hardware info it sends to the bug tracker [22:33] hey guys, how can I get to the grub boot menu?

[22:41] bogdomania: 2 monitors, 1 is a real monitor, 1 is just a port, ubuntu made the port without a real monitor hooked up to it the primary display [22:41] ok..just a sec [22:41] bogdomania: I fixed it though [22:41] used xrandr to turn off the other display [22:42] Does anyone know of a way that I can automatically log out and log back in at a set time like say 4am? [22:42] monty_: hm, i dont know what to do with it. i dont need notification for calls only for volume and broghtness and stuff [22:42] jalex_brown: not sure about the auto log back in, but you can auto log out [22:42] !info gshutdown [22:42] gshutdown (source: gshutdown): Graphical shutdown utility and shutdown timer.

[22:42] 10.04 gnome [22:42] jalex_brown: you could have a cron script to restart gdm at 4am, and setup autologin for your user [22:42] so to format my primary hard drive i need a live cd of gparted on a fat32 usb.. let's hope this works... [22:43] are you sure,you didn`t deleted the panel? [22:43] jalex_brown: is there another issue which you are trying to solve with logout/login as a workaround? [22:44] bogdomania: yes, re read what I've said. the problem's been fixed [22:44] it was an issue with primary / secondary display settings [22:44] thune3: Well I've just noticed there seem to be several bugs when I go too long without logging out. [22:44] good luck to me :X [22:44] i did, but it sounds strange what you said [22:44] thune3: My Empathy contact list will freeze up for one thing. For another after a while, if I log out and log back in, the screen will be blank. [22:45] BadElvis, ah..k...is the "notify-osd" daemon installed and running? [22:45] thune3: Well, the screen thing could have been a one-time fluke, because it's only happened once. [22:45] hello and good evening. can any one tell me the adress of danish ubuntu irc chat? [22:45] is there a way to change gdm's resolution? [22:46] dpkg-reconfigure doesn't output anything [22:46] !dk | anthon [22:46] anthon: For at få dansksproget support til Ubuntu, bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk.

[22:46] monty_ no [22:46] belkinsa: wrong [22:46] belkinsa: :) [22:47] thank you every body:) [22:47] Oh dear me, in Ubuntu Maverick I can't get my wireless router (dhcp server) to successfully complete a DHCP transaction. I've disabled IPv6, but still I get "No DHCPOFFERS received", and my wlan0 works perfectly on Kubuntu Lucid and W7. My config files are exactly the same between the working Kubuntu Lucid and the Ubuntu Maverick, why am I having the DHCP issues? [22:47] is it true that only niggers are allowed to develop ubuntu?

[22:48] thune3: When I killed it and re-launched it, the contact list was still the same as before. When I log out and log back in, it will then be right. [22:48] Hello. I noticed when I switched upgraded to lucid that the volume control was removed from the panel. Is this intentional? How can I get it back? [22:48] jalex_brown: you close it from the applet? [22:49] thune3: No, I killed it from the System Monitor. [22:49] Jordan_U: uh what, what did they do? [22:49] lol, I'd thought they must've made networking stable by now; I'll go install Ubuntu Lucid then, and God forbid I get the same issues there, then I'm coming back to rant! thx [22:49] sebsebseb: [22:49] sorry [22:50] can anyone help me with my 3g modem? i can't connect anymore. i'm trying sakis 3g atm, but it doesn't work... neither does wvdial ("invalid dial command"). I need help. i need that connection to work 2morrow... [22:50] nicofs: What modem is it? [22:50] question, this module assistant thing? can I use this so it will automatically rebuild my wireless drivers each kernel update? I have to compile drivers from http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 for my wireless to work correctly [22:51] jalex_brown: Huawei EM770 - and it is recognized as such... [22:51] ok I figured out my syslogd problem. Sort of. I foolishly installed syslog-ng and then removed it, but it looks like it's still running. I've done apt-get purge and apt-get autoclean. Do I have to start manually removing stuff? [22:51] BadElvis, did you try to reinstall the package notify-osd? [22:51] nicofs: What version of Ubuntu? [22:52] jalex_brown: latest with updates and all [22:52] nicofs: Latest stable (10.04) or latest unstable (10.10)? [22:52] jalex_brown: stable [22:53] nicofs: Did you check to see if there were any newer drivers available? [22:54] jalex_brown: how can i do that apart from google? [22:54] if lucid lynx does not show grub menu and does not boot after installing a new kernel, how can I get into grub menu to select the old kernel? [22:54] nicofs, bing? [22:54] test34 bing? [22:54] monty_ i will, just a sec [22:54] nicofs, they will even give you 3$ for charity [22:55] Zenith881: Hold shift during boot. [22:55] @Jordan: tried that, same thing - black screen, some crunching of HDD and silence [22:56] nicofs: Is the modem built into a laptop? [22:56] jalex_brown: yes [22:57] Zenith881: Though the menu is supposed to show automatically after a failed boot. (i.e. if grub loads the kernel but init doesn't get to a certain point to clear a failure flag, the next boot the menu is supposed to show and not time out so you can select a different kernel/options) [22:57] nicofs: What is the manufacturer/model of the laptop>? [22:57] tried many times, still same result [22:58] jalex_brown: Acer Aspire One 532h, Atom N270 1,66GHz [22:59] jalex_brown: it look like empathy opens an instance of evolution-data-server to deal with contact list. Your problem might be evolution related. [23:00] nicofs: Scroll down to huawei081126.sh.zip on this site... [23:00] http://www.acer.com/aspireone/support/files/connect.html === RaNdY is now known as Guest77211 [23:01] thune3: So maybe killing the evolution-data-server along with Empathy would fix it? [23:04] BadElvis, I have to go now... [23:07] monty_hall: thanks fpr thehelp [23:07] Hello new to this how does this work [23:07] the 10.04 upgrade borked my whole system. x doesnt even start. where should i start my troubleshooting?

Ask for help [23:08] Layt: .xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:08] im new [23:08] Layt: with a stiff drink as well [23:08] jalex_brown: ok, i installed the script and rebooted - no change... [23:08] Thank you [23:08] bastid_raZor, ty [23:09] im having some problems getting 10.04 to connect to a pptp vpn thats running on 10.04 server [23:09] no matter what i do, the connection fails [23:09] Jordan_U: Could it be that grub menu does not show because it's in graphics and my video card Radeon 9200 is not supported? [23:09] I need help I instaled Ubuntu 10.04 and I cant find my droid phone please help [23:10] notemea, after you accept the mount from the phone, it should show up mounted in /media [23:10] nicofs: Hm... [23:10] that is, have to say 'make available' from the phone after you plug it in, then mount [23:10] nicofs: I'm not sure then. I've done some Google searches, but can't find any good explanation or solution.. [23:10] Zenith88: No. [23:11] It goes stright to media not my computer [23:11] jalex_brown: what's really weird is, is that wvdial returns "invalid dial command"... [23:11] what is the latest kernel version? [23:11] Is anyone here familiar with Sakis3G? [23:12] !list [23:12] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [23:12] list! [23:12] my current kernel 64 bit is 2.6.32-23 ChogyDan [23:12] Oer: yeah, I thought -23 was the latest, but I've seen a few references to -24 [23:13] thanks [23:13] Thank you [23:13] Jordan_U: then I guess the only way is to boot from a distro dvd and edit out the new kernel menu. is there a live DVD for lucid? I don't have any CD-R media. [23:13] i am looking for a terminal emulator that will allow having 4 terminals split side by side -- preferably for kde. thanks :) [23:13] nerdy_kid: terminator or any other using tmux [23:14] nerdy_kid: terminator [23:14] hello [23:15] does anyone know how i can generate an xorg.conf? [23:16] mneptok thats gtk and requires 28 mb of space to install :-| [23:16] i have to change my gdm login screen resolution? [23:16] is that still possible under Ubuntu? [23:17] adjurata, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [23:17] lol @ terminator, best name ever? [23:18] nerdy_kid: use what terminal you like and run tmux in it, sort of a window manager for terminal, you can split horizontally and vertically any way you see fit [23:18] nerdy_kid: so why not ask in #kubuntu? [23:18] please... anyone... there must be some way to get my 3g modem going... [23:19] the X -configure config file does not work [23:19] anybody know how a user can find his Xauthority file in ubuntu lucid? I know it's in /var/run/gdm/auth-for-*/database, but I can't seem to figure out how to fetch that exact path being only a user and not root, my user has permission to read the database file, but not find its location [23:20] Bonkers: echo $XAUTHORITY; [23:20] trism: so I hear, but if I'm just sshing in, that environment variable is not set [23:21] I've thought about putting "echo $XAUTHORITY > ~/.xauth-location" in my .xprofile but that seems a bit roundabout [23:21] Bonkers: you shouldn't need to access it directly then, but you can do: xauth extract $HOME/.Xauthority $DISPLAY; although you will need to figure out the correct display, since it won't be set either [23:22] Bonkers: you should only need to set DISPLAY in lucid, I haven't had the xauth issues that I had with karmic over ssh [23:23] Anyone can tell me how can i resume AIGLX? [23:23] trism: I'm trying to start up x11vnc for my user, it was easy enough in karmic since my user at +rX on /var/run/gdm [23:24] xauth extract can't find display ':0', hrm [23:24] Jordan_U: are you available to continue helping me today? [23:24] why does Ubuntu 10.04 create a small extended partition is that for grub? [23:25] hi guys, can i have cron task for my account (not sudo user) ? [23:25] deexannihilate: Yes. [23:25] iromli: yes, crontab [23:25] I can't browse with nautilus as root. I tried sudo, gksu, and gksudo and they all tell me that a directory is missing. when I try doing mkdir is doesn't work [23:25] adjurata: i think it's: sudo Xorg -configure [23:25] n8 [23:25] jordan_u: yay! :) [23:25] nor can it find :0.0 [23:25] dekushrub: please pastebin the exact message [23:25] Flare183: i have crontab -e and wrote something there. ... is there any next steps? [23:25] I don't know why I put myself through the pain of upgrading [23:25] I'm already root [23:26] iromli: What editor are you using, and if you don't know what I [23:26] Guys Can Anyone Tell me How to Resume AIGLX ?? [23:26] iromli: I'm talking about, then screenshot it [23:26] does anyne know? [23:26] Flare183: it's nano [23:26] \nickjohn [23:26] hello [23:26] iromli: alright, press control+o and press enter, then do control+x [23:26] Flare183, http://pastebin.com/XzG8FP57 [23:27] what's the best way installing windows on ubuntu without a live cd ? [23:27] Flare183: yes, i did that .. just wanna know is there any next step? [23:27] iromli: nope, cron will do the rest [23:27] Jordan_U: so, I've done nothing to it since last night. I have the boot disc. Is there anything else you need me to get? [23:27] man, now I can't type shift- over vnc, it's just lowercase [23:27] Flare183: ok, thanks [23:27] what's the best way installing windows on ubuntu without a live cd ? i have installed ubuntu on windows but now windows has some problems (as always) so i need to reinstall windows so what do you advice me to do it ? [23:28] Hasanibrahim: install windows, then ubuntu, and don't use wubi [23:28] iromli: no problem [23:28] Hasanibrahim: oh without killing grub thats a good one [23:28] Flare183: i don't want to reinstall ubuntu [23:28] Does anyone know how can i resume AIGLX ?? === nerdsex is now known as lyrae [23:28] Hasanibrahim: your gonna need some sort of a live cd [23:28] Hasanibrahim: if you partitioned it correctly then you won't have to [23:29] Flare183: he still wold need to restore grub [23:29] gogeta: not if he installs winblows first [23:29] Hasanibrahim: then you missed what he said [23:29] is not there anyway restoring grub on windows? [23:29] Flare183: then you missed what he said [23:29] !grub | Hasanibrahim [23:29] Hasanibrahim: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [23:30] Flare183: he has ubuntu installed [23:30] Flare183: he whats to install windows without losing data [23:30] gogeta: Well if he partitioned it right, then we won't loose anything [23:30] is it possible to change gdm's resolution? [23:30] Flare183, do you know anything about that error? [23:30] Flare183: grub still would need to be restord [23:31] dekushrub: if you sudo mkdir the folders one buy one then it should work [23:31] Flare183: if you do ubuntu then windows windows overwrites grub [23:31] gogeta: I know that >.< [23:31] ugh [23:31] anyone know why every time I type shift- over x11vnc, I get a KeyRelease for shift right before and a KeyPress for shift right after effectively making it impossible to type special characters or uppercase? [23:31] gogeta: is there any way to restore grub on windows ? [23:31] Can anyone help me troubleshoot my 3g modem? how can i find out, what network manager is doing durin dial-up and why it aborts? [23:32] Flare183, I just tried that, when I type sudo nautilus, nothing happens [23:32] dekushrub: Your not doing it right then [23:32] Hasanibrahim: yes grub4dos but the live cd would work best thers a supergrub live cd that does it guided [23:32] Flare183, what do you want me to do? I've never had this problem with ubuntu before [23:32] dekushrub: sudo mkdir /root && sudo mkdir /root/.config && sudo mkdir /root/.config/nautilus/ [23:33] how can i make a init.d script start at boot [23:33] Flare183, that's exactly what I did. Nautilus no longer gives me the error but it just won't open as root [23:33] Hasanibrahim: oh yea and the grub4win gui [23:33] webPragmatist, I think you need to put a link in /etc/rc* [23:33] seidos: which rc* though? [23:33] webPragmatist: this is a script you made? [23:33] dekushrub: hmmm sounds like some permissions are messed up [23:33] thankyou gogeta and Flare183.i have found a documant "Recovery using Microsoft Windows and Its Bootloader" [23:33] webPragmatist: runlevel 2 is the default [23:33] webPragmatist, I'm not sure. Maybe it doesn't matter? [23:33] Dr_Willis: yea [23:33] Hasanibrahim: but you will have to manuly add thelines [23:34] webPragmatist: you may want to learn to do things the upstart way then. [23:34] Flare183, yeah, but I don't know how. I clean installed this like a week ago [23:34] webPragmatist: or just start the script from /etc/rc.local [23:34] webPragmatist: see /etc/init for upstart init scripts [23:34] Flare183, I also can't do su for some reason [23:34] dekushrub: you must have done something wrong massively then [23:34] dekushrub: cant su? [23:34] Dr_Willis: what do you mean upstart way? … i just followed http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-/etc/init.d for the most part and was able to use the start-stop-daemon thingy ant it worked :) [23:34] dekushrub: you don't use su on ubuntu, you use sudo -i [23:34] because of this reason: [23:35] !root [23:35] LOL [23:35] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:35] webPragmatist: ubuntu is slowly getting away from usign the sysv init system. and is using 'upstart' now. [23:35] webPragmatist: so that guide is proberly a bit out of date for ubnuntu. [23:35] Flare183, thanks for that tip [23:35] dekushrub: No problem === Phuk5tar is now known as Phun5tar [23:35] webPragmatist: with each release fewer and fewer services use the sysv methods. [23:35] Dr_Willis: well do you have something else i can read? or an example? [23:35] Flare183, nautilus still doesn't work there. I have no idea why. every other program works fine [23:35] webPragmatist: look at the scripts in /etc/init [23:36] webPragmatist: and check the ubuntu forums/wiki pages for upstart docs. I only dable with it a little. [23:36] !upstart [23:36] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:36] Does anyone know what path wubi uses for its root.disk image file? [23:36] Every time I start my Kubuntu desktop, I get three terminals and Chrome upon startup [23:36] dekushrub: I don't know, the only thing I can think of is that you've messed with something really badly [23:37] Phun5tar: did you shutdown like that [23:37] no [23:37] Flare183, alright thanks. I know I didn't mess with anything though. I guess I'll just reinstall [23:37] mm [23:37] hmm* [23:37] deexannihilate: Once I figure out the path to the disk image file wubi uses I can give you instructions for getting wubi booting again. [23:37] it's been occurring since my kernel update [23:37] however, I had a similar problem before that [23:37] Phun5tar: maybe its loading a saved session like that [23:37] jordan_u: ok. thank you. [23:37] that's what I was thinking, but I don't recall ever having three terminals and Chrome up [23:38] even so, how would I change/revert this? [23:38] Dr_Willis: oh i see so each rc* would be a certain point at which it starts... [23:38] what's a good vnc client for Kubuntu KDE4 friendly, Qt4 based preferably? [23:39] !vnc > nobarking [23:39] nobarking, please see my private message [23:39] nobarking: by the way theres a #kubuntu channel [23:39] Phun5tar: Control Centre > KDE Components > Session Manager [23:40] hey, where can i see the list of those irc commands on this channel? [23:40] Can anyone help me troubleshoot my 3g modem? how can i find out, what network manager is doing durin dial-up and why it aborts? [23:40] iromli: for the bot you mean?

[23:52] topobot: differnet programs for doing it with [23:52] Under any form of unix/linux/bsd, you can have many different types of remote access. Under MS Windows, only two, basically. [23:52] thunar3: how can a SIM card be inserted incorrectly? it's asymetric... bot those are not the error messages i get... [23:52] Phun5tar: should like it was trying to start it again [23:52] topobot: however also SSH isn't a Windows thing, which can be used to make the connection secure, see what bot sent you [23:53] that's what it looks like, but I'm closing it [23:53] at least, that's when the error pops up [23:53] <_Richie_> quiero hacer un ruteo statico permanente route -add 172.16.33.116 255.255.255.192 gw 172.16.214.65 [23:53] ok ,but which is bbetter for doing this? windows or ubuntu? [23:53] Phun5tar: dounds like a bug with vlc and kdes init system [23:53] <_Richie_> que mas le tengo que agregar par aque al reiniciar no se borre [23:53] sounds [23:53] topobot: depends [23:53] on what? [23:53] ah [23:53] nicofs: i don't know. you might try re-seating the SIM just in case it somehow lost contact. [23:53] Mahjongg: it's a file 'apt_check.py', run that like 'python /path/to/apt_check.py --help' to get the options [23:54] topobot: Ubuntu does it all, windows cannot. but that's my opinion [23:54] thune3: i have that issue with various SIM cards... [23:54] !english | _Richie_ [23:54] _Richie_: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [23:54] topobot: Linux to Linux pretty easy, and securely. Linux to Windows not as easy securely. I mean if your doing your own connection, not using an already make service for it. [23:54] Flare183: what cannot do windows? [23:54] Flare183: lol if he speaking a diffrent language saying english probly isnt gonna help [23:55] What type of connectivity do you want? Shell? Remote-control? Remote X? Telnet? FTP? [23:55] gogeta: yeah well, Idk the language they're speaking so yeah [23:55] sebsebseb: im talking about which computer should i connect in the computer in italy, here in my house i have macosx that is prrety the same as linux [23:55] topobot: For that, there probably isn't really a best OS, since differnet things that can be used, for differnet OS's for it. [23:55] Why does java want to run constantly and eat 100mb of ram? [23:55] Flare183: looked like spannish [23:55] Seriously, it's a bog. === wai is now known as avidya [23:55] aloha #ubuntu, i've accidentally deleted the network manager icon from the task bar and can't work out how to get it back. my internet connection is gone from Ubuntu so i can't do any tests atm [23:55] gogeta: I can never be sure so yeah [23:55] Mahjongg: it's part of update-notifier, by default in startup applications [23:55] sebsebseb: im talking about which operating system should i install in the computer in italy, here in my house i have macosx that is prrety the same as linux [23:55] ¿donde? estaba fuera por un minuto [23:55] topobot: Windows, Linux distrubtions, or Mac OS X, they can all remote connect to each other [23:55] topobot: Mac OS I based off a linux kernel so yeah [23:55] tonytraductor: funny [23:55] how can i get back online? [23:56] topobot: Flare183 well they say that Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD which is a Unix distribution not Linux [23:56] but why people say that windows is not so good for making this kind of thing? [23:56] ola [23:56] Visualante: run 'nm-applet' i think [23:56] topobot: kind of what [23:56] uh...Visualante...you MUST be online, since you're on IRCA [23:56] irc [23:56] Mahjongg: python /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt_check.py --help [23:56] chucha la wea [23:56] sebsebseb: oh, excuse me. I'm sorry [23:56] topobot, Security, function and usability. [23:56] tiny keyboard = many typos [23:56] Flare183: Mac OS is no way based on the linux kernel [23:56] topobot: Windows shoudn't really be connected to the Internet :D since security reasons [23:56] gogeta: remote connection [23:56] Dr_Willis thanks, any other suggestions before i reboot? tony yes yes very amusing. I'm using my reliable Windows partition [23:56] sweetpi: haha uname -a :P [23:57] ah ok [23:57] topobot: windows can remote connection easly [23:57] ha, now that IS funny...reliable+windows in the same sentence. ROFLMAO [23:57] That's an oxymoron [23:57] hold on. I'll be back [23:57] yes so funny, at least windows supports 1680x1050 and doesn't crash when i send ubuntu to sleep. Ubuntu runs like crap on my machines [23:57] topobot: any os can remote into another os [23:58] sebsebseb: well, windows might not be safe if connected to the internet - but you can connect it to the internet, which can't be said for my netbook running xubuntu... [23:58] nicofs: uhmm ok sounds like a wireless issue [23:58] what scripts are run when i close my laptop lid for suspension? [23:58] topobot, If you want to have real and full capabilities with several different means by which to connect or control the machine, use unix/linux/bsd. Install Ubuntu [23:58] nicofs: any os is safe on the net if you set it right [23:58] VCoolio, sorry, I couldn't make myself clear, I'd like to my app to the autorun script that is run everytime a console sheel is opened just like the apt-check.py applicaiton. But I do not know which autostart script file that might be [23:58] if i connect remotely to a windows computer can i have access to all the computer, in the same way id be in front of the computer? [23:58] nicofs: can probably configure Xubuntu so that works, or use some other distro instead [23:58] nicofs: not using ie having a good anti vires [23:59] * YankDownUnder needs more coffee to make sense of it all [23:59] topobot: with 'vnc' or freenx - yes. [23:59] topobot: yes [23:59] nicofs: ndiswrapper allows the WIndows driver to work for wireless [23:59] topobot: or that rdp stuff === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [23:59] topobot: VNC is not secure by default, it should be tunnelded over SSH or a VPN to make secure, when using over the Internet, if just connecting over a LAN then its ok [23:59] deexannihilate: Ok, I've found what path wubi uses for root.disk. Can you boot from SG2D and press "c" to get to the grub shell? [23:59] topobot: as for RDP not sure about that one, but probably similar
