Is there anything that can be done about that? [00:26] DasEi: I have forced the subtitle position to 300 and -300 and it doesnt move :( [00:27] NCS_One: did you try if you can enable/disable them ?

Thanks. Another question. I tried an extension or plug in for weblog stuff. I deleted the plugin, but the buttons won't go away. Any Ideas there? [00:32] saxonjf, no ideea.. sorry [00:33] all right, thanks anyway... it looks much better with smaller buttons [00:33] is there a good weather desktop app that supports europe countries?

[00:36] Sorry for the hold up, had my grandson stop by for a box of wood screws for my daughter [00:37] saxonjf: yeah the clock works but it is not with forecast [00:37] jaes: i don't think it's a good idea as the driver lists the frequencies the monitor can support, other values may damage it [00:37] saxonjf: I can look out to see current weather.. [00:37] We have a computer, was windows, we installed ubuntu. It worked well for several months, but once in a while the screen would blank out.

[01:43] I wonder if I create a asound.conf if it will read it or just ignore it now that ubuntu has depreciated it [01:44] Oops, I mean my system is 10.4 [01:44] I have a system 10.04 (server) that when I reboot it throws up filesystem errors and won't mount anything... I can log into rescue and run fsck.ext4 on the systems and then mount them just fine... but if I reboot it won't mount my system again [01:45] bikcmp: there are accessibility applications which can, amongst other things, make the screen easier to read [01:45] tensorpudding: yeah [01:45] Hi, ubuntu lucid installed. Laptop SL510, fingerprint device is not working, it says no device detected. this is the device SL510 FRU 60Y4134 Palm rest, [01:45] i think I accidentally enabled one. [01:45] I just pressed a key by accident (I don't remember which) and it inverted. [01:45] I know ubuntu devs are in love with pulse audio, for some reason, but mythtv doesn't care anything about pulseaudio it uses the alsa default [01:45] which inverted? [01:45] tensorpudding: the whole desktop [01:45] black where it would be white [01:45] colors, you mean? [01:46] white where it would be black [01:46] yeah [01:46] bikcmp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:46] FloodBot1: I wasn't flooding... stupid bots these days :) [01:46] * Gryllida slaps FloodBot1 [01:46] hehe [01:46] In this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html, why does the initial computer get an IP address of 192.255.0.1 but the second one gets 168.255.0.1? Shouldn't both start with the same 3 bytes? Isn't 255 an invalid byte for an IP address? [01:48] Anyone know the new way to set the ALSA default device? [01:48] Is there a good linux replacement for OneNote M$? [01:49] so, any ideas? [01:49] R3cur51v3: it may not matter, as the netmask is 255.255.255.0 [01:49] R3cur51v3: Im kinda guessing [01:49] R3cur51v3: haven't read the tut, but from a quick glance, yes same subnet is needed [01:50] how do i 'copy' web videos? like to save a youtube to my hd? [01:50] I'm trying to create a launcher to start a program located in /usr/local/games/nwn called "nwn" and I can't get it to work, i've tried the full path and it doesn't start, but it starts when I do "./nwn" inside that directory [01:50] OK, so should I just specify 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 respectively? [01:50] R3cur51v3: like 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 , and leave last (192.168.0.255) for broadcast [01:50] DasEi, thanks [01:50] np [01:50] I hate shitty tutorials [01:51] :P [01:51] haven't really read it .. [01:52] sorry for the nub question, but does ubuntu run well / without problems on a netbook? (1gb ram, 1.6ghz processor) [01:52] it should [01:52] LasNote: sure you used the correct path? [01:52] ahh haaa, when I try and run it using the full path in a terminal window it's looking for another file [01:53] it says "cannot find ./nwmain" === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [01:53] actually is it illegal to use my iSight on PC?? [01:53] Gametime: standard apps, yes [01:53] so i'm guessing it needs to be run from inside it's directory [01:53] LasNote: k youll have to make a startscript then that first changes to that diretory [01:53] mgolisch, thanks [01:54] dasei: would i gain a LOT more usage if i upgraded? (from 1.6ghz / 1gb ram >> 1.6ghz dual core / 2gb ram / nvidia ion)? [01:54] like, would it be a NOTICABLE / appreciated upgrade? [01:55] Gametime: depends on your habbits, if you like browsing with >20 tabs, meanwhile streaming media and then , while the update runs, want oo to act quickly... yess [01:56] appreciate the advice. first time with a low capacity machine. [01:56] thank you. [01:56] Gametime: also does graphic steal mem from main ? [01:56] steal is good ^^ [01:56] unsure, dasei. let me check. [01:57] rebooted and it went away. [01:57] thanks anyway [01:57] :) [01:57] supposedly it doesnt share ram, dasei. [01:58] i have a troubleshoot ques: a new ubuntu install crashes while doing an apt-get upgrade - what log files should i look in for cause? kern.log, syslog, dpkg.log, what else? [01:58] Gametime: concerning your nick, that won't run fine on it, but apart from it, can do a set up for low memory and then will have a nice sys with one gig, too, but it will use swap then easily === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:00] I have attempted to establish a Ad-Hoc network between my computer (Ubuntu) and another (Windows XP). They both say they are connected to the ad-hoc network, but I've set their IP's to 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 respectively, and they cannot ping each other. [02:01] none can ping the other? [02:01] No. [02:01] any other connections active? [02:01] Yeah [02:01] R3cur51v3: how are the conncted ? direct by an ethernet cable ? [02:01] R3cur51v3: What is your subnet mask set to? [02:01] Ubuntu is connected to ethernet [02:02] DasEi, ad-hoc wireless network. [02:02] and your ethernet is not 192.168.0.x? [02:02] ratcheer, 255.255.255.0 [02:02] R3cur51v3: is there a switch.. ah [02:02] if it is that might be why it doenst work [02:02] DasEi, ?? [02:02] R3cur51v3: Ok, that should be good. [02:02] i have a troubleshoot ques: a new ubuntu install crashes while doing an apt-get upgrade - what log files should i look in for cause? kern.log, syslog, dpkg.log, what else? [02:02] Does anyone here knows a hardware channel i can join in? [02:03] R3cur51v3: connection is wireless then , I thought of a crosscable missing [02:03] /j #hardware [02:03] I get "From 192.255.0.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable" [02:03] noob_69: ##hardware === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [02:03] R3cur51v3: didnt you just say you used 192.168.0.x for your adhoc? [02:03] r3cur51v3 that means you can't get there from here [02:04] I followed the instructions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html except that the IP addresses they gave seemed erroneous [02:04] why do you ping an ip of a completely different network? [02:04] blitzo, im assuming you did an apt-get update first? [02:04] Does Ubuntu work with HDMI Monitors? [02:04] sylphid yes [02:04] mains_power: works for me [02:04] mgolisch, yeah [02:04] mains_power: it does, though no experience on my side [02:04] Presumably if Ubuntu has drivers for the graphics device that powers the HDMI monitor, it will work. [02:05] mgolisch, I typed "ping 192.168.0.1 -I wlan0" [02:05] Sylphid we tried first to load wubi and ran into this same prob and the advice i got here was just blow windows away and go straight to ubuntu so we did - and same prob [02:05] Sylphid it won't update [02:05] blitzo, when you say crash how exactly, hangs, reboots, restarts X [02:05] err [02:05] mgolisch, I typed "ping 192.168.0.2 -I wlan0" [02:05] X freezes [02:05] R3cur51v3: and again is your ethernet connection 192.168.0.x also? [02:05] Sylphid X freezes [02:05] oh you specified the interface [02:05] mgolisch, yes [02:05] I think so [02:06] Actually, it doesn't return anything when I try to ping the Windows host [02:06] blitzo, ttys still usable? [02:06] err it doesn't say anything [02:06] so i got a supported tv tuner. what should i use? mythtv is a giant headache. tvtime just crashes. what else is good? [02:06] the icmp_seq error only occurs when I ping the IP of this computer [02:06] Sylphid dunno didn't try - i am troubleshooting from remote and i didn't think to do that [02:06] Hmm [02:06] blitzo, remote via ssh or vnc [02:06] Hello I am trying to install b43-fwcutter_012-1build1_i386 onto a laptop that has no means of connecting to the internet. I have another lappy that I can download and install files onto and transfer over to the first laptop via a usb drive. What files will I need to download? I am having trouble locating them. [02:06] I vnc'd into another computer from Ubuntu 10.04 and click fullscreen. How can I get out of fullscreen? ctrl-alt-enter isn't doing it [02:06] Sylphid right now i am having her boot to the cd, will have her mount the harddisk and email me the logs [02:07] whoops [02:07] I forgot to change the IP on the Ubuntu machine [02:07] lemme test again [02:07] lol [02:07] Sylphid i am talking to her in chat and telling her what to do [02:07] Sylphid she is using windows to talk to me === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [02:08] I still can't ping the Windows host [02:08] although my IP is now correct [02:08] Sylphid can u give me crash course in setting up sshd or should i just read the man page [02:09] did you use a different subnet than your lan connection? this might be why its not working [02:09] i mean if you didnt [02:09] blitzo, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ssh [02:09] blitzo, should set up everything for you [02:09] The windows host can ping Ubuntu [02:09] it's good [02:09] Tips på XML-editor för Linux? [02:09] R3cur51v3: also the windows firewall blocks icmp traffic by default [02:09] Teag [02:09] Yeah [02:09] Sylphid i want to see the logs as they are at the time of crash so we will get it up on the cd before rebooting from the harddisk [02:09] Ops. Wrong channel. :P [02:10] blitzo, auto key generation, service startup, and adding startup to inits [02:10] I have a system 10.04 (server) that when I reboot it throws up filesystem errors and won't mount anything... I can log into rescue and run fsck.ext4 on the systems and then mount them just fine... but if I reboot it won't mount my system again [02:10] Sylphid thx [02:10] bogus 8 : use livecd, don't break your fs [02:11] has anyone thought about a system-wide framework to help laptops converse power in which applications can know whether a disk is spun-up or not and can decide to delay certain actions that would likely spin up the disk or keep it spun up. this way, we can keep the hard drive spun down for longer. examples include: dhclient/IRC logging---don't need to log it if the disk isn't spun up [of course, should be an option for the user]. [02:11] blitzo: The hard part of setting up ssh is setting up her router with port forewarding. [02:11] blitzo, get kern.log messages Xorg.0.log syslog and possibly dpkg.log === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [02:11] DasEi: I used the server cd to do rescue and didn't mount the FS... I didn't do anything to break it [02:12] DasEi: I just shut down and moved the computer [02:12] Ganymede: i believe something like that would all be in the kernel buffer cache handling.. the app shouldn't worry about it [02:12] Bogus8: alright then, appeared like on a mounted sys, so you did, could boot up one time, and then same failure ? [02:12] zr0: that may be true for writing but what about reading from disk? an app can choose to delay that until the disk is spun up [02:13] zr0: or rather, it should be able to choose to delay that [02:13] DasEi: honeslty I'm not following your question... I was able to fsck the system then mount it in recue mode of the server CD [02:13] Ganymede: also done in the kernel, you would just want todo an asychronous write [02:14] DasEi: after I reboot from there it will toss that error up on the next boot [02:14] Ganymede: in other words your write gets written to the cache first [02:14] zr0: He asked about *read*. [02:14] zr0: but you may want to avoid reading because you don't know if you're gonna miss the cache [02:14] Bogus8: ic, use a desktop (live) cd rather to get a terminal, as rescue mode will try to mount partitons, too [02:15] zr0: if it's not critical that it happens NOW, maybe an app should have the option to delay it so it doesn't accidentally spin up the disk [02:16] Ganymede: if you do an asychronous read, maybe that happens [02:16] well, nobody is answering me in the Nvidia channel... maybe you guys coul help me [02:16] noob_69: yes? [02:16] zr0: also does linux flush the write cache to the disk when a timer runs out? or when a certain size of data is waiting in the cache? if it's based on the amount of uncommited cache, then doing unecessary disk I/O would fill up the buffer and bring you closer to spinning up the disk [02:16] Whats the best cheap chipset from intel?ç === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [02:17] 945 [02:17] Ganymede: yeah, I think it is under 30 seconds [02:17] Hello, everybody. [02:18] !hi [02:18] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:18] DasEi: I can do that... but there is an option in recue mode to NOT mount the FS and that is what I am choosing === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [02:18] fantastic [02:18] Bogus8: yes, and it did and reported found errors ? [02:19] i cant believe ive been sitting in the chair for 4 hours [02:19] Ganymede: you may want to try posting your question on devel-discuss. I'm sure there are smart people who know more. The only thing I've heard about is powertop [02:20] DasEi: no, I ran the fsck on the unmounted partitions then after they came up clean I rebooted... then it failed... I did it again and tried mounting them to a temp dir to just test out the FS and they were mounted successfully ... but on reboot I had the same problem [02:20] ChogyDan: powertop is more so for "wakeup" events or something like that...i'm looking at iotop [02:20] Yeah you can not talk for a while. [02:20] ChogyDan: but yeah, running iotop and powertop really makes you wonder why certain apps are waking up every now and then and writing stuff to disk...what are they doing? they should just be sitting there idle [02:20] blitzo: The easiest thing to do is likely a reverse VNC connection. That way you can setup port forewarding on your end rather than hers. [02:20] Bogus8: what's the error message you get ? apart from moving box, any changes in partioning beforehands ? [02:21] Hello, I am still having trouble installing b43-fwcutter on the laptop. I found the instructions but I get Error 127 when I try sudo make. How do I cure this problem? [02:21] how do you copy and paste in xterm? === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [02:21] Ganymede: do they prevent the discs from staying spun down? [02:21] DasEi: only think I can think of is that I did a dist-upgrade (sorry I had forgotten about that) after installing 10.4.. this is a fresh install [02:22] Bogus8: err, a dist upgrade or a fresh install ? what error is displayed at bootup ? [02:22] jordan_u i don't know how to do that but i do know how to use ssh [02:22] ChogyDan: something or other is keeping my disks from spinning down. i know right now, it's konversation logging my IRC, but even when i have barely anything running, something is keeping my disk spun up. i have laptop-mode enabled and everything and i manually editing the config to maek it very likely to spin down, but no matter what, the hard drive part of my laptop is super hot... [02:23] KittyBoots: You do not need to do any compiling to get a broadcom card working, stop following whatever guide you're following. [02:23] ChogyDan: thunderbird also likes to wake up very frequently and do some disk I/O. not sure what it's doing every few seconds because i have it check my mail every 10 minutes [02:24] jordan_u when i ssh to an ubuntu running off live cd will i have to give a root password to sudo and if so do we have to set it? [02:24] DasEi: well, I did a fresh install from a cd... then did an upgrade but there were held back packages so I did an dist-upgrade on that (from a freshly installed system... no other updates had been run, nor had I done anything... basically first thing I did). As far as error... let me try to get it right... UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY [02:24] blitzo: http://portforward.com/ [02:24] (that is, without –a or –p options [02:24] fsck died with exit status 4 [02:25] Ganymede: interesting [02:25] jordan-u we already have ssh set up and i'm not gonna go learn sumpin new for such a trivial task === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC === thatjoshguy is now known as og420josh [02:25] Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx doesn't seem to be able to detect my Network Controller. Computer model is an HP Pavillion a6742p. Installation is a single boot following all recommended settings. I am currently using my phone to techer internet via USB. [02:26] I can verify that this network setup worked on Vista before Ubuntu installation. [02:26] jordan_u is portforward gonna make it possible for her not to have reconfigure her router to forward the sshe connect to her inside machine? [02:26] DasEi: should it make a difference that in fdisk -l there is a * next to my /boot parition (which is butted up against the / part) that says "Partition 1 does not end on cylnder boundary." [02:26] Cerealklr: oh really? [02:26] Jordan_U, the card does not work and I can not connect through the wired connection. [02:26] question: is there an easy way to bind alt+w to ctrl+w in ubuntu? (I'm using 10.04 on a laptop and ctrl+w is annoying to press) [02:26] blitzo: Do you actually have ssh setup (have you actually tried connecting)? If she's behind a router you'll need to setup port forewarding, there's no way around it. [02:26] Cerealklr: whats the used controler? lspci should tell you [02:26] Bogus8: so an sudo apt-get update/grade was the thing to be done, but grub loads and then box starves with filesystem error === og420josh is now known as thatjoshguy [02:27] jordan_u that just occured to me [02:27] Jordan_U, I do not know how to cure this. [02:27] DasEi: what about held back packages? [02:27] lspci yields no line remotely resembling a network controller. I googled for 3 hours to make sure and ended up coming up blank on the topic. Shall I paste you my lspci results? (or pastebin it?) [02:27] Bogus8: that's ahint, but won't neccesarly lead to an fsck error [02:27] Cerealklr: yeah pastebin it [02:28] Bogus8: held packages are ok, an also an dist-upgrade won't change partitions [02:28] Jordan_U, If the wired connection would work I would not have any troubles. [02:28] anyone know the opentracker announce format? [02:28] blitzo: That's what port forewarding is, routing incomming connections to a certain machine. What a reverse VNC connection will allow is you'll be able to setup port forewarding on your end rather than hers. [02:28] DasEi: I didn't think the dist-upgrade was the issue... I just wanted to make sure you knew everything that had happened... only think I could think of is if the kernal was upgraded and did something funky [02:29] Hello [02:29] bogus:easiest forensis will be boot from live and have a look from there (log in #ubuntu from there) [02:29] mgolisch: http://pastebin.com/BeeCB8wT [02:29] hi my capture card appears in lspci but when i try to detect monitors only my lcd appears, not the tv. what can i do? [02:29] DasEi: alright... let me grab my kit from the car [02:29] Bogus8: re-install and go proper manner might be faster :) [02:30] mgolisch: It is an integrated network controller, if that helps. [02:30] blitzo: Enabling port forewarding makes you more vulnerable to attacks (mostly just from people trying to guess your ssh password), reverse VNC means that the security burdon is on your end rather than hers. [02:30] VirtualHost configuration: [02:30] wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: [02:30] *:* is a NameVirtualHost [02:30] default server A.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/DomainA:1) [02:30] port * namevhost A.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/DomainA:1) [02:30] Relaed: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:30] port * namevhost B.org (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/DomainB:1) [02:30] Syntax OK [02:30] Bogus8: depends on the machine, on a custom pc install nowadays is a 30min job [02:30] jordan_u i know how to configure port forwarding but i know nothing about vnc or reverse vnc [02:30] is there some way to log/monitor when a disk gets spun down and spun up? i want to make sure my disk is spinning down and also want to make sure it isn't spinning up and down too frequently === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [02:31] Ganymede: be carefull with t, read man hdparm [02:31] it* [02:32] blitzo: If you can walk her through setting up port forewarding remotely then go for it. [02:32] Cerealklr: odd it realy shows no network controlers [02:32] DasEi: so when should I use dist-upgrade? [02:32] Cerealklr: did you disable it in bios or something? [02:32] DasEi: I had been told in here to use it [02:33] Ganymede: many disk let's you set modes on enrgyconsumption, concerning spinning.. low energy though kills disk earleir [02:33] hi all. does anyone know how to have multiple X sessions start on boot? I want one for my desktop ala a normal install, and another that is started by vnc4server for me to login to remotely. I want them seperate. [02:33] hey im installing ubuntu via my usb. several problems arose and now i have to reformat my usb drive. how can i do this? [02:33] Bogus8: as the name says, to upgrade one distro from onother, like ibex to lucid [02:34] mgolisch: mhmm. I'm pretty used to working with Ubuntu. this'll be my 7th or 8th install (its a server for a family member's business to putter about with), but I certainlywas not expecting this. I presume I need to manually locate the proper drivers, but I can't find any literature at all on Ubuntu and the HP Pavillion a6742p. Its the craziest thing. Its as though nobody has ever used the two together. [02:34] gparted maybe? [02:34] DasEi: so you are probably suggesting that i just watch the output of hdparm -C /dev/sda every few seconds? [02:34] Is there anyone who knows how to solve a virtualhost problem [02:34] what font does the "non-emulated"/"non-graphical" terminal use? (the one you get when pressing ctrl-alt+F1 [02:34] DasEi: hmm... well ok, but that certainly wasn't the case when I was instructed to use it before... I've never upgraded distros... I always install fresh in those cases [02:35] Cerealklr: if lspci doenst list it it means the kernel doenst see it [02:35] Cerealklr: so either its somehow broken or disabled [02:35] mgolich: no I checked to insure it was not disabled in BIOs. I saw someone mention that and facepalmed and checked but it was enabled. [02:35] Hi, which package containes the snd-intel-hda driver? Mine is broken, I want to revert to an older version. === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [02:35] mgolisch: I am certain it is in working condition, unfortunately, and it is not disabled. I'm also a double certified IT Tech and maintain for a living. ^.^;; [02:36] Ganymede: I'd use hdparm mainly for settings of hd's , then : manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/udisks.1.html [02:36] DasEi: well yeah, i know how to set all the spin-down parameters and power saving levels and stuff, but...what about logging spin-ups/spin-downs without polling? [02:36] blitzo: You should set a password for the LiveCD account, "ubuntu", before installing ssh. [02:37] Cerealklr: i have seen devices stop showing on lspci after some driver issue caused them to stop responding. is there anything in your dmesg or syslog that looks like it is related to such a device. [02:37] Cerealklr: and this was the complete listing of lspci? [02:37] Ganymede: never monitor this other by ears, but udisks comes in mind [02:38] thune3: good question. How would I check it? [02:38] mgolisch: Yes. [02:38] question: is there an easy way to bind alt+w to ctrl+w in ubuntu? (I'm using 10.04 on a laptop and ctrl+w is annoying to press) [02:38] Ganymede: either dump or monitor [02:38] DasEi: also, i'm using a laptop disk, which is rated for about 300,000 spin up spin down cycles, which would last me 6 years if it spun up and down every 10 minutes [02:39] Ganymede: :) [02:39] nate: You mean you want to change the default keybindings? [02:39] DasEi: thanks for the pointers [02:39] should the file system on USB's for installing and running linux be ext3 [02:39] is there an ubuntu offtopic channel? [02:39] Cerealklr: look through dmesg output or /var/log/dmesg and follow from boot. Or examine /var/log/syslog. [02:40] nate: If that's what you are asking, there should be a "Keyboard Shortcuts" menu item under "Preferences" [02:40] hi! all [02:40] wargh, got to pipe it to an output file, its longer than the buffer and I don't feel like mussing with the buffer. xD Lets see if i remember how to do this. [02:40] Hello, can you help with unmet dependencies: http://paste.ubuntu.com/465259/ apt-get update does not help. Broken since nearly a full week. [02:41] Cerealklr: dmesg | less [02:41] I would like to know if I get Ubuntu installed on Sheevaplug, will all the applications be compatible with it? Or is there anything I need to be aware of? [02:41] I have problem that only root can access network in my system. I've tried different ubuntu rootfilesystem and made sure users get all necessary permission. I think it might be kernel related. Is there some kernel config that could affect this ? [02:42] even updating from main repositories the dependencies are broken with language-pack-gnome-fr [02:42] Does ubuntu-server need any special package to read some CD filesystem (A Windows XP CD)? [02:42] ibnarrashid, sorry didn't see your message without the dash on the end of my name [02:43] DasEi: how can I make the partitions right, since I'm reinstalling anyway? [02:43] ibnarrashid, I don't want to change how alt or ctrl work globally, just want to change that one single keybinding [02:43] mathmoi: No. [02:43] mathmoi, I doubt it === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [02:44] Jordan_U: Ok, thanks. Any special reason why I would not be able to mount a Windows XP CD? [02:44] nate-: Sorry about that, but yeah then the Keyboard shortcuts menu is the one you want. [02:44] Agnes_Leroy, you need to check out the ARM repositories of the ubuntu version you gonna use [02:44] Bogus8: Just choose manual install first and do a new partiton table (msdos), then reboot on a 'clean HD [02:44] leagris, you may try sudo apt-get install -f [02:44] mathmoi: Not that I can think of. How are you trying to mount it? Do you get any error message? [02:45] mathmoi: you trying to load xp in a vm? [02:45] dcordes: The application I am intending install needs to be available for ARM, is that right sir? [02:45] DasEi: so partition via a live cd or something with fdisk then run the installer? [02:45] thune3: I couldn't find anything myself that seemed to be an error involving it. I'll pastebin it. [02:45] Agnes_Leroy, yes. sheevaplug is an ARM based devices [02:45] jamil_1, just found it was the proposed source that messed it up [02:45] Jordan_U: I just put it in the drive. And I get an error to the effect that the fs is unknown [02:46] DasEi: I am setting up my partitions manually in the server installer [02:46] Izinucs: Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. [02:46] Bogus8: Just choose manual install first and do a new partiton table (msdos), can do it from the server-cd menu, then reboot one time [02:46] Cerealklr: i'll look at it when you do [02:46] thanks jamil_1 [02:46] DasEi: I'll reboot and check it out... I don't recall that option. [02:46] Jordan_U: Oh, it worked. I don't know what I did different this time ! [02:46] Bogus8: delete all partis [02:46] thune3: Hmm? oh? I already scrolled through it twice with less before messaging again... http://pastebin.com/yJ59asXW [02:47] Jordan_U: Izinucs : Thanks [02:47] can anyone help me format my usb drive to ext3 [02:47] ibnarrashid, I've checked that app and I don't see any way to bind alt+w to mimic ctrl+w... would I need to add a new command or something? keep in mind, I don't want to rebind ctrl+w, that should continue to work as normal [02:47] Agnes_Leroy, I tried the full ubuntu desktop install on my htc hd2 cell phone. must stuff was available. I was only missing a good flash plugin. but that's not ubuntu's fault. none of the free flash plugins (gnash swfdec) play back recent ubuntu stuff [02:47] thune3: let me check the line numbers of the only two potentially related things I found. Off the top of my head, the last line related to conenction to my phone for tethering, and 1/3 of the way in reported something mentioning networking terminology. [02:47] mathmoi: you should be able to read it.. once the cd is inserted and mounted it should be listed in /media/cdrom0 or similar.. if you're using virtualbox, vbox does have a cli mode for creating and deploying *and* starting up a vm so that it's accessable from any machine on the lan [02:47] can anyone help me format my usb drive to ext3 [02:48] Agnes_Leroy, uuhh youtube stuff I mean [02:48] DasEi: this is exactly what I did the first time [02:48] thune3: yea, line 651 and 652 mention the NetworkManager, but seem fairly normal. [02:48] val0r, yes [02:48] k can i pm you [02:48] val0r, yes [02:48] mathmoi: You're welcome. [02:49] I have some problems using wallpaper in grub2 [02:49] thune3: lines 697 and after are all after I attached my Pre as a net tether. [02:49] Bogus8: well, live-terminal is always best bet or gparted live (smaller in size), but that boundary-thing shouldn#t fubar the fs === claw_ is now known as claw [02:50] dcordes: Youtube stuff? I don't get you? :| [02:50] I edited default/grub, set wallpaper, run update-grub [02:50] but nothing changed [02:50] Agnes_Leroy, youtube nice website to play lots of uselss videos [02:50] DasEi: I just want to get this right and get this server to my buddy... his previous one crashed and both HD's were toast... so I put together a "new" one and threw in a 500gig HD I had laying around... he has no clue and I want to surprise him. [02:50] my up arrow key seems to have died, but xev identifies it properly. kubuntu / kde / lucid [02:50] DasEi: he's really helped me out recently with my new house and business [02:51] Agnes_Leroy, you need a browser with a plugin to use flash content in order to use youtube === thatjoshguy is now known as josh [02:51] Agnes_Leroy, such plugins for arm are bad [02:51] Bogus8: so go ahead, and don't use dist-upgrade on the fresh system , gg [02:51] Hey, is there a "device drivers" equivalent in ubuntu were I can see all the hardware devices on the various busses? [02:51] DasEi: thanks === josh is now known as og420josh [02:51] I tried editing 05_debian, in vain though [02:52] thune3: some TCP info around line 375, and a few NET entries that don't seem to mention a device or any failures scattered for the next 200 lines or so [02:52] I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from CD. 4 times, it froze at a complete black screen (I occassionally saw a small blinking white cursor at the top left). One time, for no apparent reason, it got to the loading screen (with the dots that change from red to white), but then it froze. [02:53] Slix`: what's your videocard? [02:53] I had problems with booting from a USB drive as well, and I had similar problems with booting with the last Ubuntu version. [02:53] asking another way, is there a way to get the lspci and lsusb information from system gui or tool? [02:53] * Slix` checks. [02:53] Agnes_Leroy, [02:53] Slix`: do you get the initial menu and then choose "test" for the live environment? [02:53] Agnes_Leroy, what are you worried about ? [02:53] MaRk-I: Nvidia geforce GTX 260. [02:54] man [02:54] Slix`: try this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ [02:54] nate-, I think you should check out http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Keybindings, it has directions to configure keybindings not available on the Keyboard Shortcuts menu, I am not on an ubuntu machince right now, sorry test it out right now for you. [02:54] Izinucs: Test? As in test memory? [02:54] nps ibnarrashid, thanks for the help :) [02:54] MaRk-I: I'll read that. [02:55] thune3: I reread through it backwards to insure I didn't miss anything I wasn't looking for, but it doesn't appear to be the case. I simply don't see the network controller ever mentioned. Its the oddest thing... [02:55] Slix`: for nvidia just start the kernel with "nomodeset" [02:55] Slix`: like you can boot to the initial text menu that gives you the option of trying the live environment or installing straight away.. [02:55] Cerealklr: and you are sure it works? like if you boot some other os you can use that network controler? [02:55] Izinucs: Aha. I got that on the USB, but I never saw that on the CD. [02:56] dcordes: Oh! I got it! I thought YouTube has to do something with the hardware. Yeah! absense of flash won't be a big deal. [02:56] Slix`: perhaps MaRk-I 's suggestion will work.. the one I have to use on my gforce motherboard is pci=nomsi .. [02:56] dcordes: I just want to setup something to download some torrents and use less electricity [02:57] Slix`: that's a kernal line mode on boot (from the initial text menu hit F6 to enter. [02:57] Agnes_Leroy, well you can use flash. there's a gnash plugin for mozilla. but I had to notice most recent gnash version is incompatible with latest youtube [02:57] mgolisch: Well, the other OS is gone now... ^.^;; It certainly did work though. I had repaired it and thoroughly tested it myself (I repaired it because it was supposed to be 'dead' as pronounced by two other techs. Once I got it running everyone was a bit incredulous and I ran it through its paces to make sure everything was ship shape. That was yesterday and nothing significant has changed except the plugs since then. And it isn't the ethernet plug causing [02:57] Izinucs: I never see any initial text menu.. [02:57] Agnes_Leroy, well then you all set. I would recommend to use ubuntu-server rootfs then [02:58] Slix`: just press any key or the shift key, then press F6 [02:58] Cerealklr: if this is indeed you computer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&docname=c01628403&product=3875703 then your motherborard is supposed to be http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01324212 which says you should have Realtek 8111C NIC for ethernet. [02:58] It goes from my computer booting up, switching to CD boot, then I get a weird purple screen that has a weird rectangle equaling a stick figure in a bubble. [02:58] Okay. [02:58] ted__, you can search the software center [02:58] Agnes_Leroy, rtorrent nice for this [02:58] dcordes: It is specifically for ARM, I think. [02:58] thune3: Yep, that's me! [02:58] Then I.. start the kernel with nomodeset? [02:58] Slix`: That's a keyboard and the symbol for accessability. [02:58] thune3: I'll start googling for incompatibilities with that hipset then [02:59] Slix`: yes just append it to "quiet splash" [02:59] Oh [02:59] xD [02:59] Okay. [02:59] dcordes: I also heard about it. But since it is fully commandline I am a bit worried. [02:59] As nomode set or -nomodeset? [02:59] nomodeset* [02:59] Slix`: "quiet splash nomodeset" [02:59] Thanks! I'll go try it! [02:59] Slix`: It's hard to convey "Press any key to get accessability options" before the user even chooses a language :) [02:59] Agnes_Leroy, fairly easy to handle [02:59] dcordes: Will it support RSS feeds? If yes, I can just add it to an RSS feed and it'll automatically download [03:01] thanks jamil_1 I will do that. Thought it might be an easy one if it was common. === pez is now known as Guest57767 [03:01] hi [03:01] wutup dawg [03:01] Agnes_Leroy, check this http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/987 [03:01] welcomique to ubuntu [03:01] come va ragazzi???? [03:02] thune3: i'm getting quite a few hits on this now. I'll try looking through and seeing if any of these fixes work. Thanks tons! [03:02] !it | Guest57767 [03:02] Guest57767: 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) [03:02] lol [03:03] e come faccio???? [03:03] ok man [03:03] i [03:06] be sute of teh true [03:11] is they way to install another distro on my ubuntu without having to reinstall ubuntu ? kind of install a 2nd distro on free space or no? [03:11] Cerealklr: i can't seem to get to http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html which is where everyone says the answer lies. One suggestion was "Turned off Wake on LAN in the bios and it works fine now." [03:12] dcordes: I think I can make it work, even if it is not supporting it out-of-the-box. === DNS777 is now known as [777] [03:12] thune3: Way ahead of you. I already found that and cried a little when I found that the website was out. I then found a manual set of instructions, but it had an IP based link to a server that had the drivers for me to compile, (the link obviously being long dead) been searching for an alternative source of the driver since. === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [03:12] thune3: the guide is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+bug/141343/comments/21 [03:15] Cerealklr: still for a driver to work the device needs to appear on lspci, and i'm wondering if the "wake on lan" issue is blocking on this first step. Those instruction are 2 years old, and may or may not still be applicable. [03:15] thune3: I believe I found the drivers on Realteks website. [03:16] thune3: Should it be enabled or disabled? I can restart and change the settings. [03:16] In fact, once I download these, i'll try that. [03:16] Cerealklr: the quote was "Turned off Wake on LAN in the bios and it works fine now." [03:17] thunr3: I believe it was already disabled, but will check momentarily. [03:17] The nomodeset seemed to help, but I still ran into problems. Each time I tried to boot Ubuntu from the CD with nomodeset from Advanced Options. The first time, the loading screen froze on red-white-white-white. The second time, the loading screen froze at all red. For a second, I thought this meant that the boot suceeded, and there was some activitiy on the cd drive, but then it stopped and froze. [03:17] I have a usb drive with 3 partitions - gparted doesn't see any though! what do I do? [03:18] The third time, I had just a blank screen. The forth time, the screen froze on a white underscore in the top-left. [03:18] happyface: what is that drive? [03:19] happyface: and does gparted not see any partitions or not see the drive at all? [03:19] thune3: restarting to check. [03:20] I had similar boot problems in the last Ubuntu version a few months ago, as well as on my currently installed Ubuntu (which I want to completely reinstall) [03:21] anyone used valgrind on 10.04? [03:21] I do have an nvidia geforce gtx 260 graphics card. [03:21] valgrind ls : definitely lost: 120 bytes in 1 blocks [03:22] I'm sort of confused as to why Ubuntu is booting up with seemingly random errors. [03:22] so, "ls" has memory leak? [03:23] mgolisch: it sees the drive (/dev/sdb) but just says "unallocated" when there are 3 partitions [03:23] thune3: Nope. It was actually enabled, but was not the cause of the issue. lspci still doesn't show any change. [03:24] Should I post a topic on the forums? There isn't much data I can provide since these freezes seem to come at random parts of the process. [03:24] why would i not have sound in runescape? [03:25] happyface: what are those partitions? how did you create them? [03:25] * Slix` will check highlights when he gets back in a few minutes [03:26] is there a way to pull up the package installer screen (like when you first install the system) I pressed ENTER instead of SPACE BAR and didn't install LAMP and don't feel like installing them all seperate [03:26] Cerealklr: hmmm. i would recommend the path you are on. btw, *sometimes* it helps to powerdown and pull the plug so the motherboard actually powers down. Since something like the NIC is usually always powered. A reboot should reset all hardware, but sometimes it doesn't. [03:27] why would java not use swap? [03:27] hi all :) [03:27] hi [03:27] thune3: fair enough. I'll give that a last try hail mary-style before I dive in to the fine art of driver-bashing using 2 year old guides. xD Thank you for all the help so far, you've been crucial to getting this far. Be back soon [03:28] hello evrybody... [03:28] im installed wine on my linux but the mirc cant write arabic :(( [03:28] what the solution? :( [03:29] is th3r3 a openjava support channel?

[04:05] blitzo: dpkg doenst install stuff if dependent packages are not installed first [04:05] o_o [04:05] mgolisch but it did install it without the dependencies [04:06] did you force it to?

Does the system also have integrated graphics? [04:15] it tries to resolve depencies if you install a single deb thats not from a repo [04:15] mgolisch please use my nick [04:15] UberN00b: if you show the *exact* command, i might be able to tell what is wrong [04:15] thune3: No. [04:16] I'll try that. Should i try it with nomodeset? [04:16] mgolisch can you tell me how to remove this package from my system? it is partly installed and broken [04:16] blitzo: you can try to remove it using dpkg [04:17] Slix`: i think the standard reccomendation is without, but i'm not sure it matters. I *believe* the standard recommendation is to just use such a workaround until you can install proprietary drivers (for an installed system) [04:17] Okay. Thanks! [04:17] moglisch what are the options to dpkg to remove a package? [04:17] i'm looking for a NAS box, any recommends? [04:18] mgolisch what are the options to dpkg to remove a package [04:18] anything with a 1.6 atom will work [04:18] and up of course [04:19] blitzo: dpkg --remove packagename [04:19] would anyone be willing to describe how I can compile a kernel module and 'add' it or make it part of my current kernel? [04:21] mgolisch when you tell someone to do something please tell them how to do it, and preferably why to do it so they don't screw something up like i just did *sigh* [04:23] how I ht some key combo and turned on some zoom feature [04:23] I'm building a program from source, downloaded and extracted the tgz: question, where should I put the extracted dir ? [04:23] so wondering how to turn it off [04:24] matelot: somewhere in your home directory, it is up to you exactly where. [04:24] mgolisch and don't say "why didn't you do something" to someone who didn;'t know he was supposed to do it. sheesh. how does that help anything. [04:25] thune3: after I "make", this dir can or can not be deleted ? [04:25] Somewhere under your home directory, matelot, I have a folder 'packages' underneath home where I keep all source tarballs and extracted directories. [04:25] blitzo: so it didnt remove it? [04:25] jsimmons: can I delete the dir after "make" ? [04:26] well if you 'make install' matelot, you probably want to keep it around so you can 'make uninstall'. [04:26] matelot: if you install the software using "checkinstall" method, then you can delete it. Otherwise you might need the directory again to "make uninstall" [04:26] is "make linux" a valid command ? [04:26] depends on the makefile matelot [04:26] oh [04:27] if it has a target by that name = yes [04:27] Lua, for example does have a linux target. So you would use 'make linux', but it depends entirely on the makefile. [04:28] I'm going to be really annoying and repeat myself because this is giving me the shits; I've hit some accessibility combo and enabled zoom on the desktop, and I have no idea how to disable it. [04:29] blitzo: i just wondered as the default action associated with deb files is uusaly to install them using gdebi which will try to resolve depencies from the confgured repositories [04:29] jsimmons: winkey - mouse scroll? [04:30] jsimmons: "cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/rtmpdump': Permission denied" --- should I use add "sudo" to the "make install" ? [04:30] is there a way to not have ubuntu play the audio through my microphone by default? [04:30] mgolisch i have done, and i installed the dependencies [04:30] i/e disable the microphone loopback? [04:30] yeah matelot, you need sudo to install anything to system folders, as you are doing in this ccase. [04:31] ah thanks mgolisch, much better. [04:31] why is that even enabled by default [04:31] and where can I turn it off [04:31] in ccsm [04:31] thanks jsimmons thune3 [04:32] Where in Ubuntu is the Grub menu file and what is it called? [04:32] oh it's under 'enhanced zoom desktop' not 'zoom desktop' mgolisch. [04:32] hehe [04:32] anyways time for bed [04:32] night guys [04:33] much easier to see when you're not zoomed all the way in :P [04:33] whats wrong when i boot my fedora kde disc but ''root device failed'' shows up ? === geowany`away is now known as geowany_ [04:34] with ubuntu there wasnt any problem like this but i want to try fedora kde [04:34] installed 10.10 last night :3 [04:34] favourite release so far [04:34] hi guys! [04:34] is there a wayt to play .rmvb files? [04:35] hi H20yJaBoN [04:35] maybe you should ask in a channel dedicated to fedora, rather than one dedicated to ubuntu, MaxBerg. [04:35] ok thanks :) [04:36] I'm trying Hardy on a system whose monitor can't display the graphics. I can get to a text console, which works. Is there a way to restart X telling it to use more conservative video parameters, or to test various parameters? [04:36] anyone can help on postfix? http://wiki.littlebearz.com/wiki/index.php?title=Debug_postfix [04:38] hello all working with new ubuntu and i have a ati 5730 I have the binary drivers installed but when i move a window i get bad video tearing. any ideals on how to fix this? [04:38] has anyone been able to interface a iRiver mp3 player to Ubuntu. I'm talking specifically about ifp-gnome [04:38] how can i change the permissions of usr/share/gnome-screensaver ? ..apparently its all read-only [04:38] sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/gnome-screensaver [04:39] thanks wmcinnis [04:39] UberN00b, np === Prodego__ is now known as Prodego === JoshuaP is now known as og420josh [04:46] what is better and faster - fedora kde or ubuntu ? [04:47] MaxBerg, kde v gnome or fedora v xubuntu ? [04:47] MaxBerg: I'd recommend ubuntu over fedora because of the package manager ("APT" - Advanced package tool). [04:47] Anybody here knowledgeable about grub (version 0.97) ? I'm having a problem with menu.lst. [04:48] anybody: ubuntu crashed and hung in the middle of an apt-get upgrade - how do i recover? [04:49] can i play gta 4 with wine ? :) [04:49] ubuntu crashed and hung in the middle of an apt-get upgrade: how do i recover? [04:51] MaxBerg try playing gta4 on winblows, i hear it works well :P [04:51] blitzo: Hungas in completely froze? Did you ever get connected via ssh/vnc? [04:51] jordan_u i am just about ot [04:52] jordan_u crashed and hung means it froze and had to be power cycled [04:52] is there any way to install ubuntu automatically?

[04:56] blitzo: For your dependency issues did you try "sudo apt-get -f install"? (dpkg doesn't download packages, so it can't resolve missing dependencies on its own.

[05:14] LoneTech: I installed NBR and just disabled the desktop type, not sure if you can mix them, try gnome 3 maybe? [05:14] hyperactivecrond, does that eveal anything? [05:14] reveal [05:14] slinkeey: try doing 'ping 173.194.33.104' from your command line [05:14] see if that works [05:14] that IP is a google server [05:14] hey guys, kinda getting annoyed with all the password prompts in ubuntu, keyring, unlock password, login password, can i disable them all entirely? [05:14] disabled how? I'd prefer to have different accounts run different interfaces. [05:15] I tried that :) [05:15] slinkeey: no good? [05:16] hyperactivecrond, nope [05:16] :( [05:16] LoneTech: hold on give me a second, I forget, I know in the NBR interface it's something like "Desktop Mode" or something 1 sec while I find it [05:16] hyperactivecrond, does netwok manage get in the way? [05:16] slinkeey: not necessarily [05:16] Zambz: it's certainly possible to have no password (passwd -d) and keyrings that don't require a password (dunno how to disable, normally you set the password on creation), but of course you lose the option to lock your login then [05:17] illac: thank you, it's not urgent [05:17] LoneTech: cool mate, only thing i notice though, is when running sudo and it prompts for password, it won't accept a blank password if i passwd -d it [05:17] yeah the berry gives me an ip addess [05:17] would i then have to force the NOPASSWD option in the sudoers file? [05:17] and i get a route [05:17] slinkeey: route add default gw whatever.your.default.gateway.is [05:18] like thune3 said? [05:18] Zambz: NOPASSWD would tell sudo to never require a password, whether it's set or not. I guess the sudo pam config can be set not to accept empty passwords. [05:18] i get this error on make [05:18] configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check [05:18] LoneTech: ahh got ya, thanks heaps for all your help!

[05:20] hyperactivecrond: ppp0 sounds like a network device name, not a gateway - try dev ppp0 [05:20] LoneTech: wow I cannot find it now that I'm in regular Gnome [05:21] illac: thanks for your help all the same [05:21] d [05:22] odd [05:22] i have no idear. [05:22] LoneTech: okay, in NBR ui go to System [05:22] yeah route add default ppp0 did get me there.... [05:22] LoneTech: then click Switch Desktop Mode [05:23] LoneTech: that should let you pick between regular Gnome and NBR [05:23] ppp0 is the network device that shows up in ifconfig [05:23] thanks, will try [05:23] LoneTech: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2448/3878918460_1703d43d02.jpg [05:23] LoneTech: screenshot of what you're looking for [05:23] hello [05:23] LoneTech: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2448/3878918460_0d6e765d78_o.png [05:24] whats going on in here === og420josh is now known as og420josh-away [05:26] So, I can't get any libnotify pop-ups to show when WoW is running. === matt_462 is now known as terrble_vm === goat is now known as Guest63084 [05:29] http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en: "In addition, desktop files are provided for starting various AT programs if the configuration values specified in the Accessibility Configuration section below are set."

[05:50] what is it [05:51] tuxrocks i'm not sure what you mean [05:51] what is noton ghost [05:51] *r [05:51] oh norton ghost saves images of your hard drive for back up purposes [05:51] it wouldn't be run from ubuntu [05:52] what is it...in exe form?

[05:57] linux_is_my_hero: ya [05:57] hmm well do you suggest researching alternative bootloaders or alternative partition imagers [05:57] lonetech [05:57] linux_is_my_hero: or you can from software center [05:58] Axilus: i'm not sure what you are trying to do, you could always "source ~/.profile" to get it to apply to the current shell (even though it may add redundant things to env variables) [05:58] mah2223: not familiar with any enough to suggest them, sorry. partimage is the one I come to think of.

[06:03] linux_is_my_hero, oh ok .. let us know.. if you face any issues [06:03] linux_is_my_hero, good luck [06:05] Axilus: i just mean if .profile has already added something to a path, 'source'ing it will add it again. I don't have any idea how to get it to apply globally without loggin in again. [06:05] bullgard4: AT = Accessbility Tools [06:06] redcloud: working piece by piece here [06:06] amanthakur: make doesn't really decide, it's all up to the makefile, but often there's a PREFIX= or DESTDIR= variable you can set. [06:06] I ran into the same problems as linux_is_my_hero and I watched a video and used medibuntu and a few other things and it fixed my problem [06:06] :-) [06:06] bullgard4: section 5.6.3 [06:07] redcloud: i'm all ears, man [06:07] I'm having trouble trying to talk to a device through an FTDI USB-to-Serial connector. Can anyone help me out? [06:07] word [06:07] linux_is_my_hero, http://www.linuxhaxor.net/?paged=5 that site has the video you should watch [06:07] LoneTech, thanks...:) [06:08] the young woman that did the video knows her stuff [06:08] anybody know another auto-sync service with a native Linux client just like dropbox? Dropbox has been blocked in China so I need a replacement~ [06:08] IdleOne: Excellent! -- Thank you very much for your help. [06:08] try Pickbox [06:08] gtg, bbl and thanks for the assistance [06:09] bullgard4: welcome [06:09] dragonlinux: thanks :-) [06:10] linux_is_my_hero, she puts almost all her videos on youtube also just search for nixiepixel [06:10] lol at first i wasnt sure what we were talking about. [06:10] considering my sound doesnt work, and my roommate is home, that wouldn't go so well. lol. [06:11] :-D [06:11] almost everything that see says that would be important in the videos also appears on the screen [06:11] linux_is_my_hero: ya she is hot geek [06:12] lol [06:12] admittedly. she's cute! [06:12] redcloud: my sound doesnt work either. anyone wanna help with that one? [06:13] let me see what I can do [06:14] redcloud: yeah, id rather not do a fresh reinstall :-( === CmdPrmtMdnss is now known as JustMe [06:15] I know what you mean I did that recently with win 7 ultimate and ubuntu [06:15] condiering i still dont know how i got flash to work on chromium [06:15] redcloud: dont get me started windows. === JustMe is now known as Guest90245 [06:16] even if i had the fast hardware it needs, id still stay with linux. [06:16] stability and power that windows cant ever touch. [06:16] I am a gamer what can I say :) [06:16] redcloud: i ahve several consoles, and hdmi hookup, and a hdtv. [06:16] redcloud: although there are some games i could never get for consoles. [06:17] tuxrocks: wanna help us with my sound? :-D [06:18] linux_is_my_hero, you said you are using 9.10 right? [06:18] redcloud: 9.10 x64 [06:18] linux_is_my_hero: so working? [06:19] tuxrocks: is my sound working? no. redcloud and i are trying to figure it out but i could always welcome extra hands searching the internet. [06:19] hey, what do i do if the emarld theam manager does not work? [06:19] linux_is_my_hero, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html go here and try number 3 on the list for codecs [06:20] elias_: you go to bed, because at least your sound works. lol. just kidding. [06:20] so vlc better than movie player? [06:20] since installing 10.04 on my laptop it gets much warmer then with 9.10. sometimes down right hot. Is there something that can be done about that? [06:20] like if choose the theam i want and nothing happens [06:20] tuxrocks: yes, its much better than movie player. definately remove totem movie player completely so it automatically runs movie files with vlc. [06:21] my only problem when I do a fresh install of ubuntu is no dvd playback everything else works fine [06:21] linux_is_my_hero: can you play the sound files in HDD [06:21] Redcl0ud: just means you have to reinstall libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repos [06:21] How do i use my desktop as a server to host a small personal website ? [06:21] tuxrocks: no sound at all, no matter what. :-( [06:21] so....no one knows? [06:22] hi archana [06:22] linux is my hero: once i thought my sound dident work then i reilized it my computer was on mute. same? [06:22] Hi tuxrocks [06:22] archana: if you hand code your html then just install apache2. If you're going to run something like joomla then "sudo tasksel" and choose LAMP [06:22] that is what I am tring to help linux_is_my_hero with if that is the thing he needs help with [06:23] how do i change username [06:23] archana: use LAMPP [06:23] in xchat [06:23] elias_: nope :-D [06:23] Guest19977, click on the name "guest19977" and enter a new name [06:24] linux_is_my_hero: at least we dont have windows. somehow softwear on my sisters computer uninstalled itself today....took me 2 hours to fix it [06:24] linux_is_my_hero: may be u have muted soud [06:24] sound [06:24] tuxrocks, Izinucs I will try. Thanks [06:24] tuxrocks: i just said that === Guest19977 is now known as rileypv [06:24] thanks [06:25] archana: html code or the joomla files go in /var/www [06:26] Izinucs, can Opera browser unity can be used to host a small personal website? [06:26] archana: no idea.. wouldn't think so.. [06:27] can anyone help me provide access to mysql for mypodcaster [06:27] is it just a matter of grant all priviliges [06:27] rileyp, what problem you are facing [06:27] linux_is_my_hero: goto sound prefrences-->Hardwarwe-->set it analog stereo duplex [06:27] Izinucs, I am an absolute beginner in this topic. So ... [06:27] Hi all. Would there be a reason everytime I reboot my router my ubuntu box loses ethernet connection and I have to reboot it? [06:28] redcloud: its already installed. [06:28] tuxrocks: my sound is not muted. [06:28] i have installed mythpodcaster on ubuntu and http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/wiki/Installation [06:28] linux_is_my_hero: goto sound prefrences-->Hardwarwe-->set it analog stereo duplex [06:28] archana: most isp's don't want you hosting a site.. so you've got a little to learn on how to get around that. Changing the standard port and using dyndns.com in your router will usually do it. [06:28] Izinucs, Do you know a page with step by step tutorial for this ? [06:29] Its all working except It fails to acess the mythconverg database [06:29] archana: nope.. sorry.. === zach is now known as Guest57762 [06:29] you can do .. grant the privelges by using sudo [06:29] Izinucs, Ok. Thanks for your replies. [06:29] I hope you did that [06:29] so I was wondering if I need to grant acesssto tomcat6 [06:30] GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'mythtv'@'localhost' [06:30] schone_, what version of ubuntu you are using [06:30] yes rileyp === STiK is now known as AflacDuck [06:30] Izinucs, tuxrocks Bye. === AflacDuck is now known as STiK [06:31] bye [06:31] that is the standard one liner to grant everone access to the mythconverg db however http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:MySQL [06:31] this channel is so big [06:31] feels good man [06:31] would I need to grant access to tomcat6 [06:32] which is the username used by mythpodcaster [06:32] rileyp, you can try that [06:32] and If I do how would I do that? [06:32] rileyp, also.. give grant access to everyone .. and just try once [06:32] rileyp, you can get the command info from google .. as iam a c/c++ guy :) [06:33] stanley_robertso, thnaks anyway [06:34] its cool. ill just reinstall everything. i dont care. === nielson is now known as nielsonsantana [06:40] !hdaintel [06:40] For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [06:40] Okay, so the software center won't let me install something because it is "untrusted", how do I make it trusted? [06:41] tensorpudding: click the "more info" see what it says === serenity is now known as Guest12668 [06:41] It has the same kind of info as any other. [06:42] how do i run an X application as root? [06:42] Eh, I installed it using aptitude. I don't have time for software center [06:43] hoow do I run an X application as root? [06:44] ugh, this mismatch of colors on the notification area is really obnoxious [06:44] blitzo: try gksudo [06:45] hit alt+f2, and put gksudo [06:45] Is it normal for apache2 to be installed and running on a default install? [06:46] Of desktop? I should think not. [06:46] hello guys [06:46] yeah, it is a desktop install [06:46] You must have installed something which installed apache. [06:47] Hmm, I have found a few things that are running that shouldn't be [06:48] thanks tensorpudding [06:48] For some reason apt starts and enables things like apache right after you install them [06:48] For a service like, say, dbus, this would make sense. [06:48] I am not sure what I installed, but I need to find it and remove it. [06:49] Though there are legitimate dangers of having a web-facing service running, when it could have been installed without your foreknowledge [06:49] that is what I am scared of [06:50] That obnoxious System V init and its scripts makes it more annoying to disable them [06:50] Can anyone tell me the best way to backup your whole ubuntu server? [06:51] Best is subjective, I suppose. [06:51] I'm looking for similar [06:51] I guess [06:51] The best looking thing by my eye seems to be tar [06:52] Looking to make a recovery disk [06:52] Nighthwk: partimage and clonezilla are a couple that are popular for imaging your drives [06:52] Thanks Izinucs [06:52] Nighthwk: they work kinda like "Ghost" [06:52] how do i cut out the audio recording in recordMyDesktop so that i can record the audio separately in sound recorder and sync the audio and video? [06:52] that what I looking for [06:52] stanley_robertso: lucid [06:53] schone_, sorry.. i didnot get you [06:53] stanley_robertso: you asked what version of ubuntu imrunnin [06:54] schone_, oh got it .. i lost much of the chat ... Can you please repeat your question.. if okay with you [06:54] Would there be a reason everytime I reboot my router my ubuntu box loses ethernet connection and I have to reboot it? [06:55] i did a sudo dhclient eth0 so i guess i can wait and see if it happens [06:55] again? [06:55] did you check any messages showed up .. or just not working ? [06:55] schone_, oh ok [06:55] schone_: loosing the connection would be normal after you reboot the router.. but you don't have to reboot the computer to get networking backup.. sudo ifdown .. then .. sudo ifup [06:56] Izinucs: how can i run that command if i cant access the box though? [06:56] schone_: is it remote? [06:56] Izinucs: sorry i should of said, its running headless [06:57] schone_: ah.. on your LAN? [06:57] oi [06:57] schone_: from in the lan you should still be able to ssh into it with the ip address.. [06:58] Izinucs: thats the problem - i can't - i need to reboot it [06:58] Izinucs: i can't even ping it? would that be my router playing up? [06:59] schone_: does the server have a static ip assigned? from within the server? [06:59] it is setup for dhcp [07:00] how do i cut out the audio recording in recordMyDesktop so that i can record the audio separately in sound recorder and sync the audio and video? [07:00] How can I increase the volume of a movie? [07:00] schone_: for a headless box you're *much* better off setting it up for static.. if the router starts dhcp addresses at xxx.100 then make the server xxx.50 or something.. [07:00] How can I increase the volume of a movie?Its not enough at full volume. [07:01] Izinucs, schone_: alternative so that the route and dns get setup automatically: keep using dhcp, but setup dhcp reservations on your dhcp server [07:01] yer i have done that as well [07:01] i will see what happens when it happens again [07:01] the router is over 3 years old and hs been dropping in and out recntly [07:02] How can I increase the volume of a movie?Its not enough at full volume. [07:02] how do i cut out the audio recording in recordMyDesktop so that i can record the audio separately in sound recorder and sync the audio and video? [07:02] terry: did ya try headphones? [07:02] yeah [07:02] terry: system -> prefrences -> sound will let you overdrive teh sound past 100%.... [07:02] I think you can renormalize the audio in the video itself, using some sort of tool [07:03] that provides a more permanent solution [07:03] robertzaccour: what ever program you're going to edit in should allow you to delete the audio and add in your own soundtrack.. do it postprocessing. [07:03] did you already record it in recordmydesktop [07:03] Izinucs: i haven't found it yet. i've got pitivi and kdenlive [07:03] badass: yes [07:04] robertzaccour: that should do it.. kdenlive might be a little flaky still.. check out LiVeS! [07:04] what's the best IDE for C++?? [07:04] screem? [07:04] Izinucs: oh ok thanks [07:04] JackStoner, eclipse IDE .. or you can simply try vim [07:05] stanley_robertso: is geany any good?? === jeremy is now known as Guest7180 [07:05] !best [07:05] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel.

[07:05] robertzaccour: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1057416 [07:06] JackStoner, never tried that.. but it depends on the programming language you are trying [07:06] Vig: i just needed an opinion, if thats allowed in this room [07:06] jeremy === zachary is now known as Guest34274 [07:07] hi if i already have Ubuntu installed on a computer can i easily install Ubuntu Server on it, or does the Server install have to be a completly different isntallation? [07:07] stanley_robertso: what other IDE apart from eclipse for C++, im a bit biased against java-based IDE's [07:07] I accidentally deleted the "?" help button on my panel. How do you get it back? [07:07] JackStoner: Certainly, I understand, that was just datum input. [07:07] Guest34274: you want a web server or what? [07:07] Izinucs, yes i want a web server [07:08] Izinucs, i already have Ubuntu installed on a computer [07:08] Vig: any advice on a beginner C++ IDE? [07:08] just want to put it on that one [07:08] JackStoner, i personally prefer vim .. than any other editor [07:08] Guest34274: open a terminal and type .. sudo tasksel .. choose lamp in the list that appears and install.. you'll lbe done. [07:08] Izinucs, is that for a localhost? [07:09] opij: Right Click the panel hola [13:27] sanguisdex: no "save" options? [13:27] Gracias [13:28] aeon-ltd: what has tiling to do with keyboard size? [13:28] urzk: google [13:28] violinappren: ok, i will [13:28] urzk: the window manager basically manages the windows for you, e.g open a window - its full screen, open another windows the screen divides to accommandate the new window [13:29] froschi: keyboard shortcuts [13:29] urzk: try unr if its too slow shift to something like openbox [13:29] urzk: I wish I could help you with that, but I've never used it before :-( I'd imagine it would be reasonably competent, since it's supposed to work on netbook hardware. [13:31] urzk: this is tiling http://omploader.org/vNHlxaA and this http://omploader.org/vNHhyYw/openboxatfirst.png [13:31] aeon-ltd: uhu, you dont like windows because you need a mouse, so on systems, where there is not a usable keyboard, you suggest using a wm that uses the keyboard excessively? [13:31] aeon-ltd: ok, i'll install and see how it works. if ok - then great since i'm familiar with gnome much more then with openbox (which i have right now on mint netbook edition with lxde and openbox - works fast but i'm not quite happy with the menu and interface). thanks for help. [13:31] Hi. Im using Xubuntu 10.04 on a x86 laptop and have problems with my USB mouse/keyboard stopping to work randomly. "lsusb" doesn't update anymore, i.e. if I pull the plug for the mouse/keyboard it's still listed. I already tried "sudo restart udev" but this doesn't seem to have an effect. Any ideas how to proceed? [13:32] froschi: no, but managing windows with a tiny trackpad rather than the os doing it for you is ridiculous. you will still need the trackpad for scrolling etc [13:32] Is there an easy, zero config method of clustering ubuntu machines together for increased performance? [13:32] ysis: can't get any output from lsusb? if you can, pastebin it [13:32] aeon-ltd: oki, i just don't understand 'tiling window managers would work better given that [13:32] ' [13:32] urzk: great thing about linux, you can change anything you don't like :) [13:33] violinappren: Plain "lsusb" or any options?

Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [13:38] thank you all [13:38] Rightoh will ask a third time, is there any easy, zero config method of clustering ubuntu machines together to share the resourses? [13:38] havoc_: if you *have* an establishe connection, this has nothin to do with telnet anymore. i you*are* establishing the connection, every sane client application masks it, you have nothing to do with it. [13:39] Kuja_: have some patience. No need to repeat that quickly [13:39] havoc_: while, well, this still isn't an ubuntu related thing at all [13:39] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 via network. I've PXE booted the installation, but when I enter my own mirror it says it cannot find a file on the mirror. Doesn't say what though and no 404's on the httpd. I rad somewhere that I should just mount the desktop iso in a web accessible folder and that's what I've done. [13:39] violinappren: ty for the response, but all standardized telnet clients respond to the protocol commands, they are just very confusing and I was hoping someone might be more familiar with them [13:40] Hi! I'm using ubuntu lucid and i just started to have a "problem" with my screensaver, every time it appears i have to move the mouse twice..first time it just flickers and then the screensaver appears again. anyone no why this happens?

I decided to wait it out before posting the solution, and much to my chagrin the mouse stopped again today (again, when the processor load was high)." which means that the problem wasn't solved or not?

[16:47] Light29: what filesystem type is this ? [16:47] ManDay, Although I can see a situation (you're not at an Ubuntu machine) where it does fail. [16:47] darren, lack of fully automatic weapon ? [16:47] fat32 [16:47] it just stops when the ubuntu log comes out when i shot it down . [16:48] is there a net install for ubuntu 10.04, so i dont have to do all this crap with grub, trying to make an ISO boot from a hard drive [16:48] Light29: paste « cat /proc/mounts » [16:48] !paste [16:48] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [16:48] darren, shot (past tense of shoot, you shoot a gun) shut (past tense of shut, to close) [16:48] what is automatic weapon ? and what need i to do to fix it ? [16:48] darren, you shut your computer down, not shot it down :) [16:48] how do i go the root? [16:48] sut [16:48] shut [16:48] sorry [16:48] What is the command to see your ubuntu version? [16:48] Light29, FAT file systems do not understand unix/linux permission. So chmod will always fail. You need to research mounting FAT (i'm affraid I don't use any MS stuff, so I don't know) [16:48] !root | teemo [16:48] teemo: 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 [16:48] darren, No worries, you were very confusing for a second there :) [16:49] So, in order to change the permission I have to use MS stuff or to format the disk [16:49] ? [16:49] knxville, cat /etc/issue ?? [16:49] Light29: no you have to remount it with correct options [16:50] Light29, look up FAT32 in wikipedia or something. I don't think it even supports permissions of any kind. [16:50] it never shut down auto, i need to push the power button every time when i want to close my pc [16:50] knxville, the command is "lsb_release -a" [16:50] Light29: should have worked out of the box but something went wrong [16:50] When I was on debian [16:50] I had no issues with permissions [16:50] thank you ,edbian [16:50] Light29: maybe the media has a hardware switch to make it read only ? [16:51] CkhiKuzad, boot from ISO ? why not just burn the image ? [16:51] edbian, I appreciate a certain amount of inline documentation but I deem it useless with a comprehensive documentation [16:51] lemme check [16:51] i would like to install qt [16:51] kop, for one my cd drive doesnt have a burner, and second its broken. [16:51] and i cant find that either in the synaptic manager? [16:51] imagine you would accidentally edit the config and loose the doumcneation [16:51] CkhiKuzad, makes sense , had to ask [16:52] cannot find something === ChSR[wrkn`Btchz] is now known as ChEaSeR [16:52] its alright, kop. but i really need a netinstall for 10.04, i am getting sick of this impossible to install crap. [16:52] !install | CkhiKuzad [16:52] CkhiKuzad: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[16:53] kop, think of any suggestion, assume it wont work. [16:54] how can i install qt on ubuntu, to be able to install skype?! [16:54] !skype | teemo [16:54] teemo: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [16:54] because my computer's BIOS was made mere DAYS before they gave BIOSes usb support. [16:54] CkhiKuzad, guessing the bios won't alow boot from usb [16:54] erUSUL, which runlevel is X started at? 3, wasnt it? [16:54] CkhiKuzad: there's always bios revisions? [16:55] ManDay: in ubuntu all runlevels are equal [16:55] !runlevel | ManDay [16:55] ManDay: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [16:56] tensorpudding, there are no bios upgrades for my system. phoenix award whatever-the-hell BIOS never released it for this chip [16:56] erUSUL, in Lucid if you attempt /etc/init.d/networking restart it plays dumb and returns null [16:56] and dont !language me. i am annoyed, and the frequency of my swear words is not any worse than a tv-PG L show. [16:56] kop: sudo start networkin [16:57] kop: it was ported over to upstart ... /etc/init/networking.conf [16:57] * erUSUL agrees that init system in ubuntu is currently a mess [16:57] erUSUL, but doesn't work as an upstart === dragonlinux is now known as drglnx [16:58] CkhiKuzad: dose this help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet [16:58] system v init was an unfortunate idea in the first place [16:58] kop: ? what do you mean ? « sudo start networking » does not work ? [16:58] * CkhiKuzad would hug spiky [16:58] but i wont, i will just say thank you [16:59] I TRY [16:59] CkhiKuzad: i did !install to you five minutes ago --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [16:59] erUSUL, just an annoyance no more or less . some jobs have been converted and some jobs have been reported as converted but arn't and init.d works with some and not with others [16:59] kop: a mess, not my fault mind you [17:00] installing ubuntu for the first time, and evertime i boot i get a blank screen [17:00] CkhiKuzad: see this, http://boot.kernel.org/ [17:00] Can anyone tell me how to convert MS Works spreadsheets to something that can be opened with OpenOffice? [17:00] anybody could help me with xchat xdcc problem ? [17:00] erUSUL, didn't think it was your fault . as long as I can stop and start eventually I don't mind hunting a bit :) [17:00] benni: openoffice should be able to open them [17:00] * Axilus is away: Away (Eating... or watching pr0n) [17:00] kop: /j #upstart [17:01] I don't have a copy, erth64net, but a friend says they don't, asked him to send me one to play with - no reponse yet [17:01] hello how can i change my mac address permanently ? [17:02] i dont want to do hw ether every time login [17:02] pseud0cod3r, your MAC address is stored in your ethernet card [17:02] pseud0cod3r, change the nic [17:02] i mean the one ubuntu uses [17:02] pseud0cod3r, change the nic [17:02] im installing ubuntu for the first time and after i boot it goes to a blank screen, if anyone can help, i posted details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9604912#post9604912 [17:02] I guess I will have to wait for him to send me a sample file, thanks [17:02] You can't permanently change the NIC -- [17:02] or MAC address associated with the NIC [17:03] i know that [17:03] i want to play an audio file when i launch a program, how can i achieve this¿ [17:03] ameer, I'm looking [17:03] MAC address spoofing is just that [17:03] a specific program [17:03] all runlevels are equal? why are there separate runlevels then if they are all the same o_O ? [17:03] pseud0cod3r, unless you change the nic [17:03] but oses can use a mac address to start communicate [17:03] @ erUSUL [17:03] which can be changed [17:03] benni - thanks [17:03] ManDay: you can tweak them if you want them to be different [17:03] ManDay: All run levels are not equal [17:04] erUSUL, but what runlevel am I in now? [17:04] i can only be in one, eh [17:04] and the network editor program is buggy [17:04] ManDay: but by default they are equal. in Redhat fedora suse they are by default different [17:04] ManDay: 2 is default runlevel [17:04] They may be set to be equal by default but one is for GUI another for terminal [17:04] it doesnt show onnected een if i am [17:04] and if i go runlevel 3 nothing should happen? [17:04] ameer, I have a PM open with you [17:04] Ubuntu used to have different profiles for run levels back in the day [17:05] kevdog: one is for GUI another for terminal <<< that's in red hat or suse not in debian and its kin [17:05] any solution to make ubuntu use a diferent mac? === ry22 is now known as tutu [17:05] Doesn't Ubuntu use Upstart so does'nt the concept of runlevels really not apply -- I thought they kept run levels for backwards compatibiltiy [17:06] kevdog: Ubuntu used to have different profiles for run levels back in the day << not true; been using ubuntu since first public beta [17:06] Im no expert in this assumption but I thought Ive heard this echoed before [17:06] pseud0cod3r, someone ban your MAC Addy ? :) [17:07] no our network is fucked up [17:07] we have to register our mac [17:07] to get connected [17:07] so if you shift from one subnet to the other you have to register again lol [17:08] pseud0cod3r, I got one of them phucxored netwerks here at home === sam__ is now known as sinusoid [17:08] different problems same result [17:08] yo everyone [17:08] so changing the interfaces file would do? [17:08] sinusoid, yo yerself ... [17:08] heh [17:09] i am new around round these parts, but it just hit me that I forgot irc is the best way to connect with ma linux folk [17:09] jop? [17:09] kop?any solutions [17:09] Does ubuntuzilla have an irc channel? [17:10] pseud0cod3r, no idea I gave up and split it between the wireless and the wired side of the lap and was done with it . in essence I gave up and punted [17:10] anyone want to take a shot at what might be an easy question [17:10] anyone else [17:10] sinusoid, ask and be flogged in public [17:11] when i try to open xsane as non-root, it says it can't open the scanner but it can as root, i made a /etc/udev/rules.d/65-raw-permissions.rules file but that didn't help [17:11] haha [17:11] and why in earth the network applet doesnt show up? [17:11] pseud0cod3r: it hates you? [17:11] i have added the the notification applet [17:12] but it doesnt show up with other items [17:12] pseud0cod3r: if you installed something like wicd it gets removed [17:12] aight - trying to make a web log CSVd.... I cannot figure out what the hell the seperator character is... In cat it comes as �, and in þ [17:12] no wicd [17:12] sinusoid, well ? [17:13] but running perl -p -i -e "s/�/,/g" doesn't do anything [17:13] gogeta can you tell me why it doesnt connect to network when it starts [17:13] pseud0cod3r, alt+f2 , network-manager [17:13] i have changed the mac address field in there [17:13] sinusoid: perhaps try loading a log file into an editor that can show special characters like FTE. it may give a clue [17:13] my previous comment -- in vi it comes across as þ [17:14] pseud0cod3r: normaly it whats your keyring password before it does unless you set it bank [17:14] blank [17:14] Hello all This is the first time I am using IRC.

[17:17] its ethernet [17:18] knxville: try dhclient eth0 [17:18] hi...i'm looking for a nice software app...what do you guys recomend? [17:18] knxville, do you know your router/modem IP , ping it [17:18] m_tadeu: thats a little.. vague. [17:18] knxville: ubuntu has a cupple chcp clients normaly at least one works [17:19] Dr_Willis: some replacement for M$ Project [17:19] there are no nice software apps [17:19] none at all [17:20] nevermind, had to chmod the ***.usb file [17:20] how i can chceck screen model name ? [17:20] Look at the screen? [17:20] m_tadeu: assme we dont know what different windows programs do. :) I definatluy have no idea what 'ms project' does. [17:20] knxville, gogeta , dhclient will usually weork for a session , but has to be rerun unless the the network interfaces and hosts.allow are configured with the IPs , not always but mostly [17:21] gogeta, BluesKaj it worked, thanks :;) [17:21] tensorpudding, only samsung :D [17:21] yo any thougths on my question [17:21] asked it a while ago but i can redo [17:21] perl -p -i -e "s/þ/,/g" doesn't work [17:21] is there a special character for "," [17:22] hmmm [17:22] maybe it can be escaped with \ [17:22] yeah [17:22] i tried [17:22] Dr_Willis: ok...some project management program that does resource management(time and cost), gantt charts, task management(priorities, documentation) [17:23] i just think i can't figure out if i am not matching the character properly [17:23] or if it is and it just isn't replacing it [17:23] hi guys [17:23] Is there any separation of drives in ubuntu like"C;D;E;f"? [17:23] perl doesn't seem to know what "þ" is [17:23] knxville, here's good tutorial for keeping your pc connected with eth0 and network interfaces , if you're interested, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [17:23] how can i open a .cue/.flac album in rhythmbox? [17:23] sinusoid: or its some how taking a special conrol code/ascii ## and just printing it as that charcter. Perhaps load the log into a hex editor and see what the ascii #'s are [17:24] hmmm [17:24] perl should be unicode-aware, I would think [17:24] thats an idea [17:24] yeah -- its wierd [17:24] Is there any separation of drives in ubuntu like"C;D;E;f"?like in windows [17:24] terry: you 'mount' filesystmes to whatever location you want.

[17:34] I got back and tried to update jaunty and it completely failed [17:35] Zolomon: and you are using the unrar non free version? theres been cases ive seen where some rar 'versions' require newer versions of the rar/unrar tools.. or you can use winrar in wine [17:35] Is there any way i can recover all of my data and migrate it to 10.04? [17:35] it shows up on the left, under Desktop, File System, Network etc. [17:35] got it [17:35] Dr_Willis: I'm using the terminal, on a VPS. [17:35] Anyone, I need help fixing my mic. Please.

[17:36] hey guys. running karmic here. so i recently switched from an ATI video card to an nvidia and then back to the ATI one, and now all my GLX stuff isn't working anymore ("extension GLX missing on display :0.0" when running glxgears or glxinfo). i've changed the driver in my xorg.conf from nvidia to radeon, but it is still trying to look for nvidia things. xorg.0.log reports (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X [17:36] driver not found). any idea? [17:36] justin_download alternate CD and upgrade with it remove existing lucid before [17:36] Dr_Willis, gdm - the script should fire before any user logs in - After X started! [17:36] plevelant, sudo runs something as root so if you are having permission problems with a command it will most likely get arround them, OTOH it also makes it much easier to break stuff [17:36] cCan someone point me to where i could maybe fix my microphone in 9.10 [17:37] prevelant: i guess you checked system:preference:sound to make sure mic isnt muted etc..etc.. [17:37] yepp installed kmixr and everything [17:37] so just blindly retrying with sudo without understanding the cause of failures is generally a bad idea [17:37] its not in /media, and doesnt show up when i type mount [17:37] in the terminal [17:37] justin_: before doing these type of work, backup your important data. Try with live CD. if it is not useful, then use testdisk. [17:37] teemo: then it's not mounted, do that first [17:38] padhu: you can not upgrade with live CD [17:38] you sure it's not a mic issue and not hardware i.e. mic is broken ? [17:38] dont really know what all i did but no progress, still need a driverscan or something.. {some1 help with mic!!} [17:38] padhu, yeah, i've already done it though. I can mount the drive partitions, but they don't boot [17:38] VCoolio: it is, when i right click it it says unmount [17:38] mics fine [17:38] i finally got it once [17:38] and it was like stuffled [17:39] I got a new laptop two months ago. It's a Lenovo W510, quad core with hyperthreading, 1.73GHz, and 8GB of RAM. I put the 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 on it. But it seems slow... I use IntelliJ a lot, and it's a cow! Would replacing the OS with the 32-bit version help, do you think?

[17:53] its not in that synaptic thing [17:53] so is it necessary for it do it. say if I had a offline computer and installed all my packages on it with my offline DVD [17:53] tonsofpcs: I also notice that cpu MHz shows 1600 but it's a 3.33GHz cpu [17:53] teemo: i just pulled it up in synaptic myself.

Thx! [17:54] Beyecixramd: lack of manpower? [17:54] bastidrazor: under what? [17:54] Dr_Willis: :C [17:54] bigberg: keep it in-channel [17:54] teemo: i typed in the quick search 'device manager' and it has it listed. [17:54] blackweb no u dont have to use it u can update for cd dvd etc or not at all [17:54] tonsofpcs: alright [17:54] tonsofpcs: desktop [17:55] i dont have it? [17:55] so, what is default user ubuntu password [17:55] miked595: hmm... it is reporting 8 CPUs. could your kernel or BIOS be limited to 8 somehow? [17:55] i get udev [17:55] StaRetji: its blank [17:55] !info gnome-device-manager [17:55] rule-based device node and kernel event manager [17:55] gnome-device-manager (source: gnome-device-manager): GNOME device manager based on HAL.

[17:55] bastidrazor, that gnome-device-manager looks promising, thanks! [17:55] Dr_Willis: but why is changed on each reboot, while root password remains [17:56] Alright Thanks, cause thats what i was concerned about, to where if i needed to grab what ever it did & Burn it to Dvd to have a offline computer up and going [17:56] is there a ubuntu issue with filezilla? i cant download 3 specific files on my webspace [17:56] Thanks xander [17:56] StaRetji: changed to what? there is no root password by default unless you set one [17:56] note that those aren't sequential coreids either... [17:56] welcome [17:56] bastidrazor: really its not there, where can i get it from? [17:56] Dr_Willis: I've set root password, sudo passwd root, did the same for user ubuntu [17:56] I was running the latest kernel in ubuntu 10.04 but it didn't identifay my 6GB of RAM. I install the PAE kernel and It sees all 6GB now. from uname -a: Linux sysops 2.6.32-23-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 09:26:55 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [17:56] ZykoticK9: heh, i have to leave for work.. could you please make sure teemo has the universe repo enabled. [17:57] StaRetji: the live cd even with a save file. may be gettingh intitaial settings from the cd. I rarely use ubuntu that way [17:57] Dr_Willis: with the difference, after reboot, root password is the one I've set, while ubuntu user password is blank [17:57] bastidrazor, teemo I'll give it a shot ;) [17:57] miked595: did the former kernel see all cores? [17:57] Dr_Willis: I see, well, thx for help man [17:58] tonsofpcs: No, it showed the same. [17:58] ZykoticK9: thanks, my first guess would be apt-cache policy gnome-device-manager ..that'll give some good hints [17:58] universe repo enabled? [17:58] i'm out! [17:58] teemo, what version of ubuntu are you using? 10.04? [17:58] miked595: weird. Check for a BIOS update mayhaps? [17:58] well i just downloaded it today and installed it today [17:58] but its not secret that i dont know how to check the version [17:59] teemo, can you open a terminal and run "lsb_release -a" [17:59] If I want to install XP after unbuntu is already installed on a machine, what do I do?

[18:34] Ubuntu-es is empty [18:35] Ubuntu-es is empty [18:35] the channel Ubuntu-es is empty [18:36] henry_: no it isn't === XyliosPC1 is now known as Xylios [18:36] Bogus8: In mine i added ip add then server name. /etc/hosts [18:36] spiky_: let me check that on this server to see if that is what I did here (this one works) [18:37] Bogus8, they need to be in the same Workgroup [18:37] spiky_: nope, they are identical... this one is working but the new one isn't [18:37] magnetron: I got that [18:37] Bogus8: think I read you wrong you mean win to ubuntu [18:37] Bogus8, did you add them to the same workgroup? [18:37] spiky_: yeah... on windows, I want to see the linux box in Network Neighborhood (sorry if I wasn't clear enough) [18:38] magnetron: yes... it's default "Workgroup" [18:38] MY mistake mis read [18:38] Bogus8, on ALL the computers? [18:38] hi, i was wondering how to compile/run knuth's .w files. Any pointers? [18:38] magnetron: yes... I have a decent size network and I understand work groups... I just can't get this to show up [18:39] magnetron: you don't always have to be on the same workgroup... just makes it easier for those that don't understand that you can browse other workgroups [18:39] magnetron: BUT, mine are all on the same as I have no need for other workgroups [18:40] Hi, I recently did a motherboard upgrade and my sound stopped working. My last motherboard had to be tweaked to use OSS. Two people have been working on it so the sound system is in a bit of an unknown state. Can anybody help me with it? [18:40] do I need to make my [home] "browsable" for it to show up? [18:40] or does just creating a [CUSTOM] share section work to broadcast netbios info? [18:41] Bogus8, you need at least one share. doesn't need to be [home] [18:41] Does anyone happen to know where the config file is for an LTSP server? I keep seeing mentions of the client config, but not the server. [18:41] magnetron: I have a "[STORAGE]" created... even added "browsable = yes" though I didn't think it was relative. [18:41] Bogus8, when i had your problem i discovered i had a software firewall on the windows box that blocked the traffic [18:41] magnetron: as I said, I have a decent size network here and I can see all the rest of them [18:42] including my other linux box [18:43] My mother's computer is set up on Ubuntu 10.04, but she doesn't have a big hard drive. To fix this, I leave her pictures on her computer, but I use fstab to mount smb shares at ~/Music and ~/Videos. This works really well, but every now and then the directories get unmounted, due to the server going down for maintenance, or her moving her computer to another network, or anything like that. Any ideas how I can automatically remount [18:43] unmounted, and _only_ if it is unmounted and on the right network? [18:43] Bogus8, are you sure the full samba is installed? there's a samba config created even on the clients. no offense === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [18:43] magnetron: no offence taken, you got to make sure of all things... I used tasksel to install Samba so it *should* have installed everything. [18:44] magnetron: as I said, I can get to the shares if I use the local IP address [18:44] yeah, right [18:44] hmm, Bogus8, i got no idea. [18:45] magnetron: yeah, I've been googling since yesterday and trying things... but nothing. [18:46] Bogus8, check if NMB is running [18:47] magnetron: good call, it isn't... hmm what gives? [18:47] the findsmb and smbtree commands are also handy to 'scan' the network and may give some clues in samba trouble shooting [18:47] Bogus8, look for the phrase "nmb" in the relevant logs (i don't know which one) [18:48] magnetron: will check for it [18:48] Dr_Willis: thanks, I'll look into those also [18:49] Bogus8, there's an option in smb.conf for enabling/disabling NMB IIRC. [18:49] magnetron: *looking* [18:49] just don't start the nmb daemon ? [18:50] ikonia, it should start but it doesn't [18:52] Someone here who has problem with pidgin hangs up? === neo_ is now known as Jungli [18:53] suggestions for a simple video editor? I need to rotate and cut out clips, thats all [18:54] turn people upside down? :) [18:54] pitivi (sp?) kino. and i think theres one or 2 others out there. [18:54] it is from my iphone, it was too big to email so I had to ssh in and scp it over to my linux box [18:54] now it is turned sideways [18:54] ikonia: I'm having problems (can't) connect to linux box from windows using netbios name... using IP address works fine. [18:55] <<< [18:55] Dr_Willis, hey how can i increase the power settings on wifi card ? [18:55] I have a problem with graphics in Lucid. Ever since I installed it i've experienced that all text on the screen (even menu names) becomes replaced with horizontal lines. only thing that fixes it is to switch to a virtual terminal and back. this happens at random intervals, but more often if i use Desktop Effects. using a Nvidia GT220 with the nvidia-current drivers from the ubuntu repositories. [18:55] !flash [18:55] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:56] symptom, pitivi, kdenlive, avidemux. try them all, it's free [18:56] so all the automatic ways of installing my wireless usb adapter failed [18:56] hiexpo: no idea. i rarely mess with that stuff [18:57] so now for manual install [18:57] magnetron: nothing in the samba logs. :( [18:57] i have the linux drivers downloaded from: http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=downloads.doSearchCriteria&localeCode=EN_GBR&productCategory=5&modelNumber=1699&partNumber=4338&downloadType=1&knowsPartNumber=false [18:57] how do i manually install drivers in ubuntu? [18:58] Does anyone else have any issues running Wow, in ubuntu 10.04? Keep the updater keeps crashing on me. bah. [18:58] Bogus8, do you happen to use wifi on this computer? [18:58] magnetron: not on the server but on the client end [18:59] roky, for support with specific apps in Wine, go to #winehq or their web pages [18:59] Is there a guide on the Ubuntu wiki on setting up SSH keys? (I am aware how to do it, just seeking something on the Ubuntu wiki to pass to a friend). [18:59] magnetron: yeah, Been there, Just wandering if anyone "here" has had specific problems [18:59] Bogus8, are you running mysql on the server [18:59] o [18:59] magnetron: it is set up... I installed the LAMP option in tasksel also [19:00] io, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [19:00] Hi everyone, I guess what I'm trying to do here is setup a DHCP server on a network that also has a dhcp server. Here's a map of my network: http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q449/tgp1994/netmap.png Basically I want to assign the dhcpd server on my ubuntu box to the card eth1, although I'm confused as to what settings I should be putting in dhcpd.conf. [19:00] slidinghorn: Appreciate it. :-) [19:00] Bogus8, when i scroogle i get some various forum posts about mysql conflicting with nmbd [19:00] io your friend has a lot of reading http://wiki.ubuntu-nl.org/community/Openssh-server - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [19:00] slidinghorn: I searched for 30 minutes and came up with nothing! :-) [19:01] magnetron: hmm... i'm in the ol' google now looking... let me add mysql tot he query [19:01] how big must my partition be in order to install lucid? [19:01] !requirements | barraponto [19:01] io, for future reference, there's a google-like site called http://www.googlubuntu.com that is solely for ubuntu questions...give it a shot sometimes :) [19:01] barraponto: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [19:01] Hello, I just upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10 and like ALL of my system is fucked: For starters, I would like a running window manager so I can clean up the mess [19:01] SHyx0rmZ: Please watch the language [19:02] Can anyone help me? [19:02] SHyx0rmZ, well, it should have one installed, so let's start with what error(s) you're getting? [19:02] slidinghorn: Wow. :-) [19:02] Bogus8, also see this bug (should be fixed if you update your ubuntu install) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/462169 [19:02] io: i have a 7gb partition reserved to /, and a huge partition for /home (i'm upgrading from hardy) [19:03] when i open a rar from a samba mount using file roller, it tells me the archive is read-only, even though the mount is read-write. is there any way around that? [19:03] magnetron: I updated last night but I'll update again just to see if some how it was missed [19:03] io: should 7gb be enough? wiki says 5gb is enough, but i will need ubuntu-restricted-extras, and etc. [19:03] Bogus8, which version of ubuntu is this? [19:03] magnetron: 10.4 server [19:03] slidinghorn, If I try to start metacity (because that's what the forum posts say) it says "assertion failed : (workspace_names[i] != NULL) [19:03] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | barraponto [19:03] barraponto: ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages for Ubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 39 (lucid), package size 5 kB, installed size 32 kB [19:03] Any support here for 64bit system? (Such as how to istall firefox32 and flash-plugin32?) [19:04] barraponto: That package is only 32 kB. [19:04] io: loads of dependencies, it is just a metapackage [19:04] barraponto, I usually recommend that you give it 10gb, but i've "heard" anecdotal evidence that 10gb has been too little...I'd say 12-15gb would be more than enough [19:04] io: java, flash, gstreamer-bad and gstreamer ugly [19:05] slidinghorn: i hope mom is not one of those 12gb cases. point is i'll have to try installing first on 7gb, then resize later... [19:05] starting compiz didn't work the last time I tried it, but strangely it does now [19:05] The 64bit flash-plugin is mostly broken.. so.... [19:05] Ermm... can anyone help? [19:05] barraponto: I was going to say 10 GB too. [19:05] If I'm mounting samba shares using the fstab, and the shares get unmounted because of the server going down or the computer moving out of range of the network, how can I check at regular intervals after the shares are unmounted, whether or not I'm on the right network, and if I am, reconnect automatically? [19:06] TGP1994: Possibly, please ask your question. [19:06] magnetron: well, I did a service nmbd restart and it is up and running... guess I'll need to reboot to see if it can stay up [19:06] Bogus8, if you seldom restart the server you could workaround this by running "sudo service samba restart" after boot [19:06] Hi everyone, I guess what I'm trying to do here is setup a DHCP server on a network that also has a dhcp server. Here's a map of my network: http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q449/tgp1994/netmap.png Basically I want to assign the dhcpd server on my ubuntu box to the card eth1, although I'm confused as to what settings I should be putting in dhcpd.conf. [19:06] magnetron: jinx ;) [19:06] Bogus8, heh [19:07] io: slidinghorn: thanks a lot [19:07] The selected device has a static IP address. DMZplus requires that the selected device use DHCP to obtain its IP address. [19:07] veovis_muaddib: Any ideas? [19:07] what does that mean [19:08] TGP1994: Sorry, I'm pretty bad with networking [19:08] dad3, you are using manually assigned IPs instead of automatic [19:08] I'd be stumped [19:08] veovis_muaddib: Alright, thanks anyways. [19:08] Anyone else have any ideas? [19:09] so do i need to change a router setting or something in ubunto? [19:09] TGP1994: what are you trying to do? [19:09] If I press ALT+{1,2,3,4,5,6} nothing happens, but the combos are bound to moving the window to desktop 1,2,3,4,5,6, other combos with ALT work [19:10] Is it just me or are the last two chars of my messages missing? [19:10] sweetpi: Essentially get LTSP up and running. I'm using this basically for experimentational purposes. I really don't understand why it needs a dhcpd server, I'd really much prefer that it relies on the one in my router. [19:10] I've set up internet sharing between two computers, configured through NetworkManager, but it doesn't give me access to the server's shared folders or ssh for instance. Does anyone know how I should go about to make that available to the client? [19:11] TGP1994: since your using ddwrt, you should be able to set the dhcp boot "filename" on it [19:11] can someone plz help me manually install drivers for my wireless usb adapter [19:11] That had me confused as to why you would do it, thanks for explaining TGP1994 [19:11] heya. ubuntu is starting mysql even if it isnt listed in any runlevel? i disabled it with rcconf and update-rc.d. any idea? [19:11] i am in the drivers' folder, but i dont know where to go from there [19:11] CharlieBucket Have you port forwarded for ssh..etc via your router? [19:11] teemo: What USB adapter is it? [19:12] sweetpi: Ermm... got any links? I saw one for directing this DNSMasq thing to my server, although I think LTSP still wants to boot dhcp. Otherwise, how do I bind LTSP to a specific network adapter? [19:12] Do you have a model number or something? [19:12] TGP1994: are you using thin or fat client? [19:12] TGP1994: btw #ltsp [19:12] mrsiebel, sorry but I really don't understand what that means, could you explain a little bit further? [19:12] veovis_muaddib: SMCWUSBS-N3 [19:12] sweetpi: In the end, I'd like to be using a thin-client like setup [19:13] sweetpi: Oh, I;ll head over there. [19:13] CharlieBucket: You have networked 2 computers inside your network to work with FTP and SSH right? [19:13] wtf sweetpi is a weirdo [19:14] hmm ok [19:14] I had a ssh fuse mount that seems to have gotten my system locked up because the network got temporarily disconnected. Several applications have become hung, presumably trying to stat the mount (zsh hangs whenever I try to 'ls' it). I can't seem to unmount it because it is in use (and I can't seem to kill the zsh process using it, even with -9). What can I do? [19:14] CharlieBucket: If you are on a wireless network you have to allow the port locally to run by forwarding port 22 (SSH) via iptables your firewall and through your router to allow internet access [19:15] mrsiebel, well at the moment I can access internet from the client by way of the server (wired connection). [19:15] I have done nothing concerning ftp or ssh, i [19:15] I suppose. [19:15] teemo: okay, so you downloaded the official drivers from their site and extracted them? [19:15] CharlieBucket Whats your ultimate goal? [19:16] To access my shared folders at the server from my client. And to access my server by ssh from my client. [19:16] Your Ubuntu Shared Folders or Windows Shares? [19:16] veovis_muaddib: yes [19:17] Windows shares. But I suppose I could just as well use ftp. [19:17] Nah Shares are faster than FTP [19:17] I see. [19:18] And more user-friendly when using Ubuntu, I suppose. [19:18] magnetron: well, rebooted and everything seems fine... guess there was a glitch when I updated last night [19:18] So on your windows box you want to share whatever folder that you do [19:18] !seen oCean_ [19:18] I have no seen command [19:18] And on your client side (Ubuntu) [19:19] You want to set up Samba and PyNeightborhood === ripps_ is now known as ripps [19:19] Bogus8, cheers! [19:19] teemo: I found the installation instructions, run $ cat README_STA_usb | more [19:19] from inside the directory you extracted to [19:19] magnetron: thanks for you help... learned something yet again here. :) [19:20] Bogus8, me too [19:20] No, I apologise for explaining my self poorly, the server run Ubuntu 10.04 lts desktop x86-64, the other is an eee with UNE 10.04 (the client so to speak). [19:20] zachlr1: I'm here.. kinda busy though.. [19:20] lol [19:20] tonsofpcs: you here? [19:20] What's the best way to compress my png images? pngcrush? optipng? something else? [19:20] Teemo: it gives pretty easy to follow instructions on how to install, but if they fail, tell us and we'll help figure out what went wrong [19:20] what are you talking about today? [19:21] Thats ok, set up Samba Shares on both [19:21] oCean_, yesterday you helped me with deleting folders and files on a FAT32 partition that contained illegal characters. I just wanted to let you know that I was able to fix the problem using chkdisk /f on Windows. I would bet testdisk on Ubuntu would have had the same effect. Thanks. [19:21] lotus: this is ubuntu technical support, social chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:21] sudo apt-get install samba [19:21] Is that a package I install? If so, would you supply me with the name? [19:21] hey guys im having a bit of trouble with setting up my dual screen can anyone help me please? [19:21] how to install packages without getting the package list from internet? [19:21] aha. thanks [19:21] zachlr1: okay! Good to hear it worked out! [19:21] Maletor, png compression is non-destructive and the various tools should yield very similar results. it's deterministic - there's only one way to do it [19:21] !best > Maletor [19:21] Maletor, please see my private message [19:22] Maletor, the only thing you could fiddle with is the removal of meta-data [19:22] Is there any way to get window borders without compiz in 10.04? [19:22] Can anyone tell me how to restart Samba? [19:23] magnetron: ah thank you. so i guess what i'm looking for is to save it as a jpg. since it's a picture of teh boston skyline [19:23] SHyx0rmZ: Meticity (sp) should take care of that, it's the default Window Manager in Ubutnu === Cain` is now known as Cain [19:23] Samba is now installed on both computers. [19:23] http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-10.04-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend === Guest63084 is now known as ugoat [19:23] veovis_muaddib, metacity crashes [19:23] Maletor, that would probably be a good idea. if it's just one image i'd recommend GIMP [19:24] magnetron: using GIMP :) [19:24] PyNeighborhood is a user-friendly interface to help you set up shares [19:24] the problem with my dual screen settings is that it is working but the second screen is not actually allowing the resolution i need... screen 1 (main screen) is 1280x1024 and screen 2 is 640x480 with no option to change it to higher resolution [19:24] magnetron: and if it's more? [19:24] sudo apt-get install pyneighborhood [19:24] SHyx0rmZ: Which of these have you tried? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_window_manager#X_Window_managers [19:24] Aha, but how will that work with NetworkManager? [19:25] Maletor, if what is more than what? [19:25] It will modifiy Network Manager for you [19:25] need help [19:25] Aha.. I see. [19:25] magnetron: if it's more than one image [19:25] SHyx0rmZ: I'm not sure which ones have window borders and which don't, and a lot of those are TWMs, but something in there should be what you need. [19:25] carlene: dont ask to ask for help just post your question [19:26] installed ubuntu on this laptop, dvd wont read [19:26] Bluetooth: Can pair headphones but won't reconnect to headphones when headphones come back online [19:26] Heya, on my GFs laptop there are no texts on the desktop icons [19:26] No idea how she has managed to hide them :) [19:26] So pyneigherhood should only be installed on the server side of course? [19:26] when i go and check my xorg.conf file i find this: http://www.pastie.org/1049519 [19:26] Maletor, i use ImageMagick for bulk conversion of images. i think there's also some context-menu tool that you can use in nautilus [19:26] veovis_muaddib, I hope that one those works, my main problem isn't the window borders, but the inability to move windows or switch between windows [19:26] can anyone help me please? [19:26] carlene: Did you do System=>Administration=>Hardware Drivers? [19:26] yes [19:26] nothing shows up [19:26] CharlieBucket: You can install it on both [19:26] I like openbox, I'd try that first [19:26] magnetron: man convert? [19:27] I like openbox, I'd try that first was directed at SHyx0rmZ [19:27] Ok, but what about ssh access? [19:27] Bluetooth: Can pair headphones but won't reconnect to headphones when headphones come back online. Need to unpair and re-pair each time. [19:27] Maletor, yes. often you can just google the task and there'll be a shell command/script that does the task [19:27] CharlieBucket: I am having trouble with my package manager so I cant go through the emotions with you [19:28] SHyx0rmZ: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:GNOME/Openbox looks like a good guide to integrating with GNOME [19:28] mrsiebel, thank you so much for all you help so far. I have come very close to my goal I believe. [19:28] Not a problem [19:28] Heya, on my GFs laptop there are no texts on the desktop icons, how can I get them visible? [19:29] Maletor, usually you use a shell script that ls all the png files in a folder and, run 'convert' or 'mogrify' for each file and save the result as 'original_filename'.jpg [19:29] veovis_muaddib, thanks [19:29] No problem, tell me if it works please, if I'm still on [19:30] CharlieBucket: If you go to the folder on the server you want to share right click on it and hit the share tab [19:30] when i insert a dvd, it shows up on the desktop, in "places" it just wont play [19:30] Yes [19:30] how to install packages without getting the package list from internet? [19:30] so done [19:30] And click Share This Folder [19:30] carlene: do you have gstreamer installed? [19:30] Yep, that is obvious to me, just to let you know what my level of expertise is.

I'll check. [19:31] Not Samba [19:31] which one [19:32] chrissharp123: how does that have to do with default sans 10 font not showing up only on desktop? [19:32] red: sorry - that was meant for carlene [19:32] ah [19:32] need help! when i turn on my ubuntu it is in sleep mode. seems that this problem appeared after i installed proprietary ATI driver. I have Radeon HD5470. Does anyone has an idea how to fix it? [19:32] :-) [19:32] carlene install all of them more specifically you want gstreamer bad plugins [19:33] is there a quick way to install them all? [19:33] Hey! If I download the latest version of firefox from mozilla website and install it manually, will I see updates of it in the update manager? [19:33] Can pair bluetooth headphones but won't reconnect to headphones when headphones come back online. Need to unpair and re-pair each time. Any help to make a connection each time the BT headphones are turned on like it does on Windows?

Today when I access to one LAN Linux disable the other one ... *WHY????* [19:40] would like to use my MS bluetooth keyboard in win7 and linux (dual boot system) without re-pairing. any ideas how? [19:41] CharlieBucket: the "connection refused" error means that port 22 on the computer you're trying to ssh into is closed - it may mean that openssh-server is not installed or running [19:41] who can give me a hand with this bloody broadcom card?

Any fix for that? [19:43] Can pair bluetooth headphones but won't reconnect to headphones when headphones come back online. Need to unpair and re-pair each time. Any help to make a connection each time the BT headphones are turned on like it does on Windows? [19:43] xawan, also, try to keep it to one line...if you have multiple lines (i.e. terminal output) use http://paste.ubuntu.com :) [19:44] window manager doesn't start with the session in ubuntu 10.4.help me. what is the problem?

[19:47] jad_ : Tried the Linux version of Picasa? [19:47] scriptwarlock, thanks I found exactly where man! [19:48] fearful: :) [19:48] hey whats the best im client for ubuntu? [19:48] lotus, you need to give more detail...please don't repeat your question quickly -- Your question doesn't really describe your problem very well...are you saying that when you login (do you have a GUI for your login?) a window manager doesn't load? which WM do you use? [19:48] !best | jammin_jay_jay [19:48] jammin_jay_jay: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:49] jammin_jay_jay, the default is empathy...many also prefer pidgin -- either will do fine [19:49] lotus, are you using metacity? [19:49] OK- is there an im client that I can dock to the right side of the screen? [19:49] jammin_jay_jay: really depends on your taste some likes gyachi [19:49] i'm using gnome [19:49] what does the following command do: "run $ cat README_STA_usb | more"? [19:49] lotus, try opening a terminal and type "metacity --replace" [19:49] hey guys i need some help here with seting up my dual screen can anyone help me please? [19:50] lotus: gnome is a Desktop Environment (DE) that uses Metacity for a Window Manager (WM) [19:50] teemo: shows you that textfile [19:50] the problem is when start session [19:50] teemo: it types the contents of a file names REDME_STA_usb a screen at a time and gives you another screen full when you hit a key [19:50] lotus, does it work this way? [19:50] teemo: another example of useless use of cat [19:51] any chance for some help with bluetooth devices and dualboot? [19:51] yes.it works but is necesary activate the compiz fusion manually. [19:51] ciao [19:51] I am trying to login via VNC to an Ubuntu node, it is not possible before the a local user is logged in... [19:51] lotus, then I don't have a clue, I got nearly the same problem, only it's caused by using more than 16 workspaces [19:52] but i only have 4 [19:52] barfster : Are you relying on the Share Session setting in Gnome? [19:52] hi, my wireless network card works... but lshw, lspci and lsusb along with iwconfig do not show what driver it is... can you please help me to get the name of it? [19:52] lotus, try opening settings -> startup applications [19:52] lotus...you should answer the questions in my previous post... [19:53] barfster : Remote Desktop, rather? [19:53] yes,what more? [19:53] kielanmatt: lsmod | grep mac80211 [19:53] anyone knows what can I do? I tried a lot of ways to make this thing work :S STA/B43/diswrapper but it still isnt work. lspci detect the card but appaere desactived in the bar and It didn't detect any wifi network [19:53] JessD: It’s a setting in GNOME, yes [19:53] lotus, and add "/usr/bin/compiz" === JoshuaP is now known as og420josh [19:53] That somebody on here told me to use. [19:53] if this doesn't work, try slidinghorn's advice [19:54] barfster: That's why. That setting uses Vino, which is not a "true" vnc server in the sense that a user must be logged in before it provides a desktop. [19:54] ar9170usb? [19:54] JessD: What is the real VNC implementation then? [19:54] sweetpi: is that it? [19:54] so... my wired network is showing disconnected for some reason but the wire is connected and I do have link lights on the NIC/router [19:54] any ideas? [19:54] JessD: I would prefer a user based one [19:55] kielanmatt: yes [19:55] i trie to do that and all the So is slow? [19:55] barfster: What is it that you want to do, exactly? Is this just for you, or for multiple users? [19:55] sweetpi: how can i get that workiing with kismet [19:56] also my MAC address in network config in Ubuntu shows as BFBFBFBFBFBF [19:56] Multiple users would be good [19:56] It’s actually multiple tasks for me [19:56] But I use 3 different users to do different tasks. [19:56] kielanmatt: no idea, just showing you what driver :) [19:56] oh [19:56] One for accounting, one for engineering and one for creative stuff [19:57] using more than 16 workspaces on 10.04 workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/545695 [19:57] barfster : You are logging in to the same machine yourself as three seperate users to keep tasks seperate? [19:57] JessD: Affimative [19:57] barfster : Makes sense. OK, sounds like you need to get a firm grip on the syntax of vnc server itself. [19:57] Each their separate documents folders and each their own mail robots [19:57] barfster : You comfortable at command line? [19:57] whats the command to active the wifi card??? [19:58] JessD: More than with GUI [19:58] barfster : :) With your methodology for task seperation, I thought as much. [19:58] barfster : You want to install.... [19:58] how do I sort the OS in GRUB list? [19:58] i have this noob question, and i'm not a noob but a windows-biased user [19:58] so im following the instructions to install the drivers for my wireless usb adapter [19:58] how much disk space do i need to install a useful ubuntu? [19:59] i type make [19:59] 10 GB? 20GB 50 GB? [19:59] and i get the following error: [19:59] cp: cannot create regular file `/tftpboot': Permission denied [19:59] barfster: either vnc4server or tightvncserver [19:59] barfster : You can really install both and give them both a spin, really [19:59] JessD: vnc4? is that a new protocol? [19:59] and sudo ifconfig eth0 up returns "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address" [19:59] barfster : They're both vnc protocol [19:59] RFB3 mine says [20:00] barfster : Just different ways of accomplishing same job, different feature sets [20:00] can anyone here help me setup my dual screen on ubuntu pleasE? [20:00] i want to replace Windows with Ubuntu in this machine, but not willing to deal with resizing partitions later, so how much you would recommend? i don't need space for games and other things, as long as i can leave them in its windows partition or put in a nother place... [20:00] are there an option for the network manager default??? [20:00] I have 2 LAN. Until now I set one with gateway and the other only with IP and subnet. Until yesterday everything went OK. Today when I access to one LAN Linux disable the other one ... Why? [20:00] I would like one that can transfer clipboards, apart from that everything should be fine, even though I usually use e-mail for that purpose. [20:01] how do i view the output for wine? [20:01] barfster : It's been a while since I've done what you're doing, but if memory serves, each user will have a dot file that tells vnc server how X will start up when they fire VNC server [20:01] Can pair bluetooth headphones but won't reconnect to headphones when headphones come back online. Need to unpair and re-pair each time. Any help to make a connection each time the BT headphones are turned on like it does on Windows? [20:01] cablop: it depends on your needs, but I think 20 GB minimum would be good - some minis only have 8 GB hard drives - it's totally up to you [20:01] ping mgcc [20:01] JessD: Sounds like a plan. [20:01] hey [20:01] barfster: Hmm, clipboard sharing is a bit of a pain; I usually do xclip after specifying the desktop you're sending to [20:01] I just ubdated Ubuntu and it removed Windows from my GRUB menu [20:02] MacOS X client [20:02] can I tweak landscape-sysinfo to add extra partitions mounted? [20:02] barfster : Is this multimonitor, or a way of doing the opposite? [20:02] logging into ubuntu [20:02] in this case [20:02] !grub | monokrome [20:02] monokrome: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[20:03] barfster: what do you need?

[20:04] Need help w/ HDMI audio... [20:04] thanks magnetron [20:04] teemo: you need to preface with sudo - you don't have permission to put a folder/file in /etc as a regular user [20:04] hi i cannot install TOR on lucid. i followed the instructions in forum. but it doesn't work [20:04] cablop, if you don't want to waste any space i can recommend you set up LVM. you can easily expand the size of a file system using that system. you can also shrink partitions, but almost as simple as growing them [20:04] #ubuntu-ma [20:04] ohh wow, they just wont stop with the fake-green propaganda [20:05] can anyone help me to install TOR in lucid [20:05] cryptk: are you using dhcp or static [20:05] this "The age of stupid" is the latest blow across the bow of reason [20:05] oops [20:05] wrong server [20:05] !offtopic | Shinigami [20:05] chrissharp123: its saying there is no such folder [20:05] Shinigami: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:05] sorry guy, buh buy [20:05] magnetron: i never used LVM... i'm afraid of messing things with it.... can i recover lost partitions from it, for example? [20:05] cablop: A fully fledge VNC setup [20:05] preforably with user selection [20:06] like citrix [20:06] barfster: try tightvnc i used it and i liked, but not sure about the clipboard thing [20:06] can anybody tell me how to bring up output for wine so i can pastebin it? i'm terribly new to this all [20:06] teemo: have you created it yet? there's no default "/etc/Wireless" folder [20:06] I'm curious -- is there an "ubuntu way" for automatically mounting hard disks (ie, one that doesn't involve editing /etc/fstab)? [20:06] clipboard is not a major issue [20:06] cablop, i'm not sure what you mean with "recover lost partitions". you can make backups and you can make snapshots of the filesystem at a given moment. [20:06] barfster: There's two ways to think of clipboard [20:06] ok so i have to create it, i thought installers would do that kind of stuff [20:07] I will just teach her how to copy paste links and send them by email [20:07] More detailed description: I have 2 LAN. Until now I set one NIC with gateway, DNS etc and the other NIC only with IP and subnet. Until yesterday everything went OK. Today when I access to one LAN Linux disable the other one ... Why? [20:07] teemo: I don't know what you're trying to do - I was just explaining why the command you listed would fail :-) [20:07] barfster: Either (1) Your mac os x VNC client is going to pick up the contents of your Ubuntu machine's clipboard for you (mine does, using Chicken of the VNC) [20:07] savid: like an external hd? [20:07] But is there a VNC server that lets me use username and password to select which user I log into? [20:07] scriptwarlock, Or an internal HD -- one that was added after ubuntu was installed [20:08] itsnatesudz, if you start the exe file with wine in a terminal you get all the text output in a terminal. start the terminal and type "wine /home/user/blah/something.exe" and press enter [20:08] chrissharp123: what the command for make directory? [20:08] barfster : Or you can get really weird and do something like send yourself clipboard text via SSH and screen [20:08] thank you mag [20:08] Or do I have to use the old clumsy way with several displays, one pr user? [20:08] teemo: in this case, it's 'sudo mkdir [directoryname]' [20:08] #ubuntu-fr [20:08] savid: like a partitioned hd? [20:08] scriptwarlock, DHCP [20:09] can I tweak landscape-sysinfo to add extra partitions mounted? [20:09] JessD: You mentioned vnc4Server, when I telnet to the current one it tell me: RFB 003.007 [20:09] teemo: where '[directoryname]' is the full path to the directory - /etc/Wireless - if that's what you're trying to do [20:09] weird thing is even in dmesg it shows the mac as bfbfbfbfbfbf [20:09] scriptwarlock, yes, a partitioned, formatted, disk. [20:09] "requires installation of untrusted packages" wt the keck is this? [20:09] barfster : VNC on X creates a new X session for each instance served, which means yes, you're stuck with displays; that's X11, not VNC limiting... [20:10] But it’s possible to make 5900 the entry point and divert to user in question depending on username and password? [20:10] Fixed it. [20:10] barfster: Not to my knowledge, no. [20:10] For some reason Ubuntu put a boot folder into my Windows drive. [20:10] barfster: vnc has lots of neat tricks and things one can do with it. But ive not seen thazt trick done. what are you trying to acomplish? [20:10] scriptwarlock, now I do also have virtualbox isntalled with it's network connection, but it all worked before I left town for two weeks... now I come back and I am wifi only [20:11] barfster : You're looking at something besides VNC; Remote Desktop under newer model Windows versions does that, but I'm not aware of a Linux equivalent. [20:11] savid: try to read this might help you have an idea in automounting partitioned hd.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498130 [20:11] barfster, the username and pass in VNC is sent unencrypted on most implementations IIRC. i recommend you don't use it to select the user [20:11] !gwibber [20:11] magnetron: i want to do in the future a RAID 1 array so i think the simplier way is using real paretitions, i wonder if i can do that in the future with LVM [20:11] i like nx [20:12] anyone help me with X11? after I installed the nvidia drivers it doesn't display resolutions that i know the card and monitors are capable of. ubuntu 10.4, 8600 GT, 2 Viewsonic P220f monitors. [20:12] I am thinking: Can I have user voucher on 5901, barfster on 5902, Games on 5903 [20:12] !res | ugoat [20:12] ugoat: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [20:12] barfster: Yes. [20:12] Set up 5900 for login, and change the port depending on login? [20:13] magnetron: It’s only on LAN [20:13] cryptk: /etc/init.d/networking restart [20:13] cablop, do you have a physical RAID card? most software RAIDs (the one you enable in BIOS) are not supported in Linux [20:13] magnetron: i want to go with software raid in linux [20:14] can I tweak landscape-sysinfo to add extra partitions mounted? [20:14] cablop, yes you can combine LVM and RAID. it suits alot of use cases [20:14] scriptwarlock, tried that already, it says it is reconfiguring the interfaces, but no go [20:14] !lvm | cablop [20:14] cablop: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:14] odd thing is there is no entry in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 [20:14] !info landscape-sysinfo [20:14] Package landscape-sysinfo does not exist in lucid [20:14] cryptk: still disabled? [20:14] so the build instructions im trying to follow are here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/BK9hPjUy [20:15] i completed step 5, how do i do step 6? [20:15] cryptk: you can add [20:16] hi [20:16] i went to the os/linux directory, but the mentioned folders dont exists, did i build something incorrectly? [20:16] i have a very big problem [20:16] scriptwarlock, I just found pysdm -- seems to work well for a gui interface to fstab -- they should include that in the default install ! [20:16] i have just enabled some plugin in compiz and all my bars have disappeared [20:16] can someone help me? [20:16] barfster: For the latter (routing a user from 5900 to 5901, etc), I'm not saying it _can't_ be done, but I certainly can't find anything in tightvnc, vnc4server, nor any other related tool that would perform such a function. You're looking for a deeper magic... [20:17] Maybe I’ll have to look at its source? [20:17] cryptk: by default this is what it should have inside your network interfaces.. auto lo [20:17] iface lo inet loopback [20:17] cheater99 : Press Alt-F2, do type "gnome-panel", press enter? [20:17] can an ubuntu member pm me? [20:18] patx, it's better to have your problem voiced in the channel -- that way if someone in the future comes along, they can search the logs and have a solution :) [20:18] darn i guess i have to build inside the os/linux folder! [20:18] scriptwarlock, so it shouldn't have an etntry for eth0? [20:18] savid: good you figure out [20:18] cryptk: you can add [20:18] slidinghorn, its kinda something i dont want logged [20:19] patx: why is that? [20:19] define the GCC and LD of the target machine? [20:19] define the compiler flags CFLAGS? [20:20] scriptwarlock, http://pastebin.com/a0NthZmb [20:20] hi there [20:20] how do I remove everything inside a folder except a specified folder via the terminal in one go? [20:20] teemo: you might be in over your head here... - what are you needing to do? There may be an alternative :-) [20:20] slidinghorn, u a member? [20:20] hi - i have a box that works fine with win7 but crashes often with ubuntu - it has crashed during apt-get upgrade several times and it has crashed while re-installing from the cd. because we did get it to install and run twice i don't think it is a video driver. any ideas? [20:20] Zolomon : What's the name of the folder you want to preserve? [20:21] im following the instruction i pasted above to install the wireless usb adapter drivers [20:21] hi [20:21] ok i fixed i by running compiz [20:21] as i does not install automatically [20:21] patx, everyone here is a volunteer -- same as with the forums (with the exception of channel/forum moderators) [20:21] tell jessD: "klagainte" [20:21] teemo: have you made sure that the drivers aren't available elsewhere? preferably in the repos? [20:22] repos? [20:22] magnetr [20:22] patx, however, a lot of us are members of different ubuntu communities (i.e. the LoCos) and have digitally signed codes of conduct, etc, so that's about as close to being "certified" (i guess you could call it) as a member [20:22] Zolomon, if you do 'ls', do you see . and .. along with everything else? [20:22] magnetron: i never uses LVM before.... mmmm welll i'll read those guides and came with an idea [20:22] teemo: via Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic Package Manager [20:22] thanks guys [20:23] i appreciate the quick response a lot [20:23] it's very important [20:23] hi - i have a box that works fine with win7 but crashes often with ubuntu - it has crashed during apt-get upgrade several times and it has crashed while re-installing from the cd. because we did get it to install and run twice i don't think it is a video driver. any ideas? [20:23] cryptk: add this on your interfaces anyway you can simply remove this anytime [20:23] cryptk: auto eth0 [20:23] iface eth0 inet dhcp [20:23] slidinghorn, i need a real member, ive signed the code too [20:23] chrissharp123: how do i check for that? [20:23] patx, well I'm not sure what you mean by "member" [20:23] patx: I'm a member. [20:23] tell JessD: Nope [20:24] !membership | slidinghorn [20:24] slidinghorn: Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [20:24] scriptwarlock, I already added that [20:24] cryptk: have you restarted? [20:24] io, may i pm u? i have question [20:24] patx: Go ahead. [20:24] !thankyou io [20:24] Zolomon : ls | egrep -v '(klagainte)'| while read x; do rm -rf $x; done [20:24] Zolomon : Practice extreme caution!! [20:24] without that in there all the /etc/init.d/networking restart would do if say reconfiguring interfaces with no resolution with my wired problem [20:25] Zolomon : Make sure you're in the right subdir when you run that! [20:25] Hello everyone [20:25] cryptk: have your restarted the network? is this a builtin nic? [20:25] tell JessD: Thanks! I will be careful. [20:25] hi - i have a box that works fine with win7 but crashes often with ubuntu - it has crashed during apt-get upgrade several times and it has crashed while re-installing from the cd. because we did get it to install and run twice i don't think it is a video driver. any ideas? [20:25] It seems that the card is not starting up correctly because dmesg is reporting the mac as being BF:BF:BF:BF:BF:BF [20:25] Zolomon : One other, if you wanted to add more stuff to exclude [20:25] scriptwarlock, yes, built in [20:25] cablop, LVM is very flexible. i use LVM and created my file systems with "just enough" free space. if i need more i just grow them [20:26] Zolomon, pipe seperate the stuff like this : ls | egrep -v '(klagainte|this|that|the other)'| while read x; do rm -rf $x; done [20:26] cryptk: tried also to swap the lancables the one you are using now on irc? [20:26] scriptwarlock, right now I am on wifi [20:26] hello everyone, I'm having an issue with a lamp setup running ubuntu. I have the webserver set up and I can access it via the IP from the server, but when I try to access it from another computer, it times out and sends me to localhost. Can someone help me with this? Thanks! [20:26] I can't activate my wifi card broadcom :/ I tried with wlan0 up command [20:26] tell JessD: Aha, thank you! [20:26] IdleOne, :) [20:26] scriptwarlock, would a bad lan cable cause dmesg to report an incorrect mac addy? [20:27] Zolomon : Course, you need to escape spaces [20:27] ravinl123 what times out sends you to localhost - your browser? [20:27] cablop, i don't even need to reboot or unmount to grow them! you can also move the file system from one physical place to another, transparently [20:27] yes the browser [20:27] chrissharp123: i searched and no, they dont seem to be in either of them [20:27] Zolomon : ls | egrep -v '(klagainte|this|that|the\ other)'| while read x; do rm -rf $x; done [20:27] tell JessD: Like ls | grep -v '(klagainte|this\ and\ that)' etc? [20:27] Zolomon : Exactly! [20:27] /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.6 in mc shows Owner: root/src even after I have re-installed all packages having "firefox" in their names. How to fix this? [20:27] cryptk: yes why not try other cable [20:27] Ravin1123, make sure you bind it to an external interface/IP [20:27] magnetron: to move to another place? hot? [20:27] ravinl123 use a person's nick when replying - it makes the message stand out in all this flow [20:27] Zolomon : I asked you about dots because [20:27] i got "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Error desconocido 132 [20:27] " [20:27] scriptwarlock, gimmie a second [20:27] cablop, yeah [20:28] Zolomon If ls returned ".." [20:28] Blitzo: sorry about that. Don't use IRC much. [20:28] Zolomon You would have said "rm -rf ../" [20:28] hi - i have a box that works fine with win7 but crashes often with ubuntu - it has crashed during apt-get upgrade several times and it has crashed while re-installing from the cd. because we did get it to install and run twice i don't think it is a video driver. any ideas? [20:28] Zolomon : Which is _not_ good [20:28] tell JessD: That would remove everything in the folder above the current one? [20:29] Help :| [20:29] Ravin1123 me neither, i just started yesterday. ok i'm trying to understand your problem. what do you mean by "it sends me to localhost" do you have a web server running on the same box you are using the browser on? [20:29] can someone send me a file to see if it works? [20:29] teemo: ok - step 5 in your instructions assumes that the directory is already there (as you did).... so the fact that it's not tells me that something went wrong before... [20:30] Zolomon : Yep. You either need to instruct ls not to return them or egrep them out. Remember that this is regex, and "." is a character meaning "any single character", so dots need escaping as well.. [20:30] Zolomon Easier to dell ls not to do that... [20:30] hi again [20:30] Blitzo When I attempt to use a browser on my Lamp server machine, the browser allows me access to the page. When I use a different computer on the network and type the IP of the computer into the browser, the browser sends me to "Localhost" instead of the actual webpage. [20:30] chrissharp123: i think i built make while i was in the wrong dir [20:30] 3> In os/linux/config.mk [20:30] i noticed that the gnome panel was working because i ran compiz as root [20:30] hey I a tooltip from firefox stuck in my screen. Is there anyway to restart my screen wo restarting my computer [20:30] tell JessD: dell? [20:31] Zolomon : Sorry, tell. [20:31] i ran it as my normal user and the gnome panel is hidden again [20:31] i was in the driver folder, directory [20:31] the panel IS running, it's just invisible [20:31] Ravin1123, do you happen to enter "127.0.0.1" as the IP? [20:31] i cannot get into the compiz settings manager, what's the command for that? [20:31] is there a french chat ?? [20:31] !fr | MonsieurSalhi [20:31] MonsieurSalhi: 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. [20:31] hello evry1. My nvidia card died on me yesterday and i had to use another video card for a while. I just installed a new nvidia card but now compiz is not working. Any ideas? TIA! [20:31] tell JessD: Right, thanks a lot! :) [20:31] Magnetron Sorry, I'm not using 127.0.0.1 as the ip. I'm using the static Ip I set up for the webserver. [20:31] chrissharp123: when i try to build from inside os/linux i get: [20:32] Zolomon : Quite welcome! [20:32] Makefile:1: /os/linux/config.mk: No such file or directory [20:32] make: *** No rule to make target `/os/linux/config.mk'. Stop. [20:32] merci pour l'aide [20:32] can I tweak landscape-sysinfo to add extra partitions mounted? [20:32] MonsieurSalhi, de rien [20:32] Ravin1123 see if you can telnet to the ip number of the machine running the lamp on port 80. open a terminal and type "telnet nn.nn.nn.nn 80" if it connects type "GET /" [20:32] but then i never did the changes in step 3: define the GCC and LD of the target machine and define the compiler flags CFLAGS [20:33] magnetron: wow... well i don't know how to combine the LVM and a raid 1 thing... it sounds good enough, but... mmmm [20:33] scriptwarlock, no go [20:33] magnetron: cause what i want is a raid 1, meaning mirroring disks [20:34] scriptwarlock, the only other cable I have is the one from the modem to the router and that didn't work either [20:34] hi what's the name of the default gtk theme in ubuntu ? I want to download it [20:34] cryptk: so i think cable is fine [20:34] scriptwarlock, my wired connection works find in windows so I know the cable and the card are fine [20:34] blitzo It seemed to connect, spit a bunch of information. [20:35] Ravin1123 was that stuff the content of the page you expected to find? [20:35] cryptk: tried this also? sudo ifup eth0 [20:35] PATA disks are hot-pluggable? [20:35] scriptwarlock, with the entry added into /etc/networking/interfaces it gives the message I put in pastebin earlier... [20:36] without that entry added it gives Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. [20:36] Beyecixramd: not that ive ever seen [20:36] thanks Dr_Willis [20:36] <^Jay2^> ubuntu network connections gets dropped when downloading huge torrent. this is annoying [20:36] something is keeping the card from being recognized properly, hence the dmesg output with the wrong MAC [20:36] good evening. i was installed ubuntu 8.04 on a partition of my drive, but grub failed to install. then i rebbot ubuntu, but this time my old windows booted. I think there is no change on MBR or related things, how to fix it? any suggesitons? [20:36] Beyecixramd: that was to be a feature of the sata stuff.. but i still think that needs special hardware/software. so im not even sure thats really doable either. (at leat ive never seen it done) [20:37] I am running 10.04 on a usb flash drive like I did with 9.04. I forget how to configure it to shut down 'without' prompting for the user's password ! How do I do that ? Thanks [20:37] Dr_Willis: i prefer not to mess around, not sure if my motherboard is capable of hot swapping, i could put my entire power block, or motherboard in risk :P [20:37] blitzo I think so, but I'm not 100%. It looks like I set up the webserver to direct to localhost somewhere. as when I type the IP of the server address when I'm on the server, it redirects to the webpage, but the address bar says http://localhost/ [20:38] Beyecixramd: ive seen these external usb 'things' that let you plug in a sata drive like it was a Nintendo Cartridge. :) [20:38] Dr_Willis: :P me too [20:38] chrissharp123: u still there? [20:38] cryptk: is this what you have now in your interfaces? auto lo [20:38] iface lo inet loopback [20:38] [20:38] auto eth0 [20:38] iface eth0 inet dhcp [20:38] scriptwarlock: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:38] Ravin1123 did you manually configure that in your apache? it won't do that by default [20:38] /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.6 in mc shows Owner: root/src even after I have re-installed all packages having "firefox" in their names. How to fix this? [20:38] blitzo: apache doesnt [20:38] but hosts do [20:38] on lucid i had 127.0.0.1 localhost in hosts file [20:39] cryptk: sorry forgot.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/465591/ [20:39] blitzo I might have, but I don't know where I did it. [20:39] why does my wireless router show this computer as being "not connected" when obviously it is? [20:39] I'm running lucid [20:39] try /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [20:39] scriptwarlock, I have that in there [20:39] after changes you need to "sudo service apache2 restart" [20:39] one sec, I have an idea, brb [20:40] you could also go ask in apaches help channel #httpd (if i recall correctly) [20:40] hi everyone. i have a digital camera and im trying to take the picturs off it on my new pc, and the repository software doesnt work. it did on my old pc running same version of linux (ubuntu 10.04) but this version is 64 bit. any ideas? [20:40] teemo: I think you'll have to find a way to undo what you did (somehow), then try again step by step (without skipping anything) [20:40] is it possible to determine when ubuntu was first installed on my computer? or the partition created? [20:40] tweak: if your camera is in mass storage mode you could just go browse it and manually copy [20:40] Ravin1123 you can do that in a meta statement in your html and there's a way to do it in apache [20:40] I am not getting any help where I thought I could. Does anyone know about audacity? [20:40] red In the httpd.conf file I have "ServerName "IP:80" And thats it [20:40] images are usually under DCIM folder in most cameras [20:41] Ravin1123: sec [20:41] Ravin1123 main thing is apache is working and it is serving up pages on that ip number - telnet proves that [20:41] red: its a really simple camera with 2 buttons im not sure how to put it in mass storage mode >< [20:41] tweak: most usually automaticly go in such mode tho [20:41] tweak, most cameras that i have delt with do mass storage mode automatically. [20:41] can you see it when you open nautilus, in the left side bar? [20:42] cablop, i would use a more advanced backup system than RAID1. i'd use rdiff-backup. focus on backing up the file system, not the physical discs [20:42] red, Mr_Sonoma: under places its not listed like my other drives are for mounting [20:42] blitzo I see what your saying, I just think I somehow misconfigured or typed something wrong, to make incomming connections to apache go to the wrong place or something. [20:43] cryptk: sometimes it gets a response by shutting down the machine and unplug the cable and wait for a couple of minutes and boot and plug later the cable after you login [20:43] Help! I just started and neither my keyboard nor my mouse do function! My graphic tablet and other input devices work tho - but no keyboard no login no fun. I checked the Xorg logs and Xorg claims to have recoqnized and set up the mouse and the keyboard - no errors, no warnings! Before that happen iirc I've deleted some files out of /etc/udev/rules.d which I deemed unnessesary - Anyone any idea and can maybe help? [20:43] scriptwarlock, the thing is the card is not being recognized correctly [20:43] sheepz_: Try Synaptic > File > History [20:43] Ravin1123 someone mentioned an #apache channel - have u tried there?

[20:45] just paste one line of the chipset of your network card see what we can do [20:45] mr_sonoma: says vivitar mini digital camera. no model number its just a cheap one. whats puzzling is that it worked on my old pc with ubuntu linux and now not on this one thats much newer with same distro [20:45] I have my sudoers file setup so I can gain root without a password (I'm in a group that allows it) [20:45] magnetron: rdiff? well, what i want to backup are simple files like img and mp3, and wanted to use raid1 just to make them easier to manage, and easier to replace the fil;es, i'm just uusing and old machine and willing to make it the file repository, and put a few other things on it [20:45] ada anak indo [20:45] 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [20:47] magnetron: and i don't want to exactly backup the file system... it's not a big deal for me, the data is more important and i think to dettach the disk and put in another disk is good enough... well, but i'm curios about the rdiff thing and the snapshots [20:47] fancy!

[20:48] Maybe if I could get the files in etc/udev/rules.d from somewhere I could put them back and check whether this was the reason - where can I get them?

[20:50] thune3: im going to give it a shot thanks already [20:50] tweak: trying again [20:50] _hexguy: yes [20:50] ... one should not go around deleting files at random, or keyboards and mice may be deemed unnecessary [20:50] mr_sonoma: nah the cable is good lol.

[21:01] ...just before to re-activate the second NIC dont browse anymore. To browse I have to re-activate the 1st NIC. Any Idea?

[21:09] Dr_Willis: well, my special needs are just, i had this errors in the past, like losing files or deleting partitions by mistake and needing to recover files from the disk surface, lol, i don't know if it's easy to recover files from ext3 or reiserfs or ext2 in that case... this is my main concern bout partitions [21:10] _hexguy: no errors [21:10] cablop: deleting partitions by mistake? Hmmm...... [21:10] <_hexguy> teemo: then you're done compiling [21:10] <_hexguy> teemo: good luck with the rest [21:10] cablop: its hard to 'lock down' mistakes like that.

[21:29] <^Jay2^> erUSUL: is it ok for you to explain the command? in windows all i do is rename *.zip *.cbr [21:29] ^Jay2^: theres the rename command, or use some other bulk renamer tools that are in the repos. [21:29] now to figure out how to get audio working on skype :) [21:29] <_hexguy> teemo: welcome ^^ [21:29] Odd-rationale: not that ive ever seen [21:29] Dr_Willis: ok thanks. [21:29] ^Jay2^, use unp to open them , no need to rename [21:29] Odd-rationale: thus the need for that 'ppapurge' tool [21:29] Dr_Willis: Well what I mean is should I go find a firewall, do other updates that I don't know about, etc. [21:29] <^Jay2^> BluesKaj: unp? [21:29] ^Jay2^: just replaces .zip for .cbr in all the filenames [21:29] !manual | Bluh [21:29] Bluh: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [21:30] i would sart with reading that manual Bluh , and doing a update/upgrade of the system to be sure its up to date [21:30] !unp | ^Jay2^ [21:30] !info unp [21:30] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command.

Version 1.0.15 (lucid), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB [21:30] Dr_Willis: problem is, i already removed the ppa. i'm just left with the packages. doesn't seem like ppa-purge will help now... guess I'll have to do it by hand... [21:30] !info unp | ^Jay2^ [21:30] ^Jay2^: please see above [21:31] <^Jay2^> ummm [21:31] Odd-rationale: go read about ppapurge.. i think thats how its designed to work [21:31] <^Jay2^> im happy how the cbr works [21:31] <^Jay2^> but cant understand this rename 's/\.zip/\.cbr/g' *.zip [21:31] <^Jay2^> what does 's/\.zip/\.cbr/g' *.zip this means [21:31] ^Jay2^: regular expressions 101.

Can somebody tell me, how i modify the "places"-menu/dock? [21:33] nice guys finish last [21:33] ^Jay2^: that same 's/\.zip/\.cbr/g' will also do the same replacement in VI and other editors.

I bought a book on the topic ages ago. :) [21:34] well, my oirc crashed so i lost the answer [21:34] mmm [21:34] i ansked if reiserfs lost support after... well, you know... [21:35] ^Jay2^: the *.zip is there so the command applies to all the zip files in the current dir. s/word/replace/g does just that replace any word you find with the replace. you want to replace .zip with .cbr . you have to put the \ becouse th . is a special char in regex [21:35] cablop: you dont hear about it as much as you used to.. BTRFS is the big 'next thing' :) [21:35] can someone tell me how to get libgettextlib-0.18.1.so??

[21:38] gfather ur back, u'll be a regular b4 long [21:38] after doing full format and using entire disk , some old applications still exist , so whats the trik here [21:38] blitzo: :D [21:38] cux000 that is bizarre, what happened? [21:39] Hello. How can I szart vlc from cli and tell it not to use pulse but alsa directly instead? [21:39] dr_|willbtrf never heard about it [21:39] crux000 that is bizarre what happened [21:39] <_hexguy> crux000: omg [21:39] blitzo: short version is it completely shat upon the raid array I was trying to back up [21:39] blitzo: i have a windows , i have a mac, but i dont why i i just love ubuntu , there is something that always make me comes back for ubuntu [21:40] blitzo: sequence of events was to boot from USB, then installed mdadm to get the array up. Then mdadm started giving errors that indicated one of the drives was in use.... cue a but of fuser & cat /proc/swap, then much cursing [21:40] crux000 i have no answers but i am interested in the question [21:41] s/bit/but [21:41] /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.6 in mc shows Owner: root/src even after I have re-installed all packages having "firefox" in their names. How to fix this?

[21:45] <--- trying to decide just how much profanity to include in the bug report [21:45] crux000 the livecd doesn't arbitraily use partitions for swap, in fact it doesn't use any swap... [21:45] so any one know why after "Use the entire disk." step , applications still exist ? [21:46] blitzo: No kidding. ;) That's why I was using it. (Well that and the machine isn't booting.) [21:46] what applications, gfather ? [21:47] gfather: in some cases a ssytem needs to be rebooted to see partion changes to a hard drive. [21:47] Oer: applications from previews installation [21:47] gfather: that was common ages past. not so common these days [21:47] Dr_Willis: after doing a new ubuntu install and using the entire disk step , ?? [21:47] Dr_Willis: Yes indeed. -- Thank you. [21:47] so name one application gfather ? [21:48] tvheadend [21:49] gfather: ive seen where if you reparittion a disk, fdisk will print a message about how the old disk table layout is still in use.. but thats not so common these4 days.. when in doubt.. try a reboot. or just delete all the partitions and then reboot. and make them after you reboot/restart the installer [21:49] Dr_Willis: fyi, ppa-purge only works if you currently have the ppa in your repo list. otherwise you have to do it all by hand. thanks for the tip though. i will be sure to use that next time. [21:49] gfather: we are still not really clear on what you are 'seeing' thatz staying around. [21:49] Odd-rationale: so re add the ppa :) [21:50] Dr_Willis: application called tvheadend [21:50] Odd-rationale: i also saw a 'ppasearch' tool the other day it seasrches the listingof all ppa's for programs/packages [21:50] Dr_Willis: :/ didn't think of that!

[21:55] i tried useing windows, it does not see it. even mac [21:56] rocker2344: the disk died ?. check dmesg « dmesg | grep -E '(ata|sd)' | less » [21:56] I did full reinstall [21:56] Oer: no, why its showing up , after reinstalling ubuntu and formatting the hd [21:56] rocker2344, what file system is it , ntfs ...? [21:56] gfather: You kept your home dir?/settings ? [21:56] rocker2344: From what you describe it sounds like the disk is failing/ed. [21:57] gfather , the crash gave me the message when I tried to boot, it would not so I reinstalled [21:57] Dr_Willis: what do you mean by that [21:57] gfather: did you keep your home direcotry/ and setting files and restored them? where is this program 'at' on the system also.

[21:59] yeah sure [22:00] maybe entire disk is not succeed [22:00] or its somehow using his old /home [22:00] it was ntfs [22:00] idk what it is now crux000 [22:00] hello, how can I determine the largest file on ubuntu via the console? [22:00] yes Dr_Willis but then he would know this [22:01] rocker2344: I wasn't paying attention to the channel.... did you paste in what dmesg had to say? [22:02] Oer: im not sure hes just just did some mistake really. :) but its hard to tell [22:02] Oer: Dr_Willis http://paste.ubuntu.com/465616/ [22:02] crux000: not yet [22:03] it putout a lot of info [22:03] i mught get flood kicked [22:03] Dr_Willis: Oer in any case , i want to reformat and just make sure that nothing left from any previous versions [22:03] >_< [22:03] rocker: use pastebin [22:03] ok [22:03] gfather fdisk is oke [22:03] When X starts neither my keyboard nor my mouse function - other input devices such as a tablet do tho.

[22:32] maybe you was using some filesytem similar to one of solaris [22:32] i heard solaris and linux confuse swap partitions due to... to something i didn't read that time [22:32] cablop: All the partitions were marked with FS linux-raid-autodetect [22:33] well... now i'm unsure on using raid in my system... [22:33] (inside the raid array was an LVM setup; then inside that was XFS, which I guess was the hot thing when I built this a few years ago?) [22:33] kimf: I find uShare working just fine.

[22:59] Oer: what i'm asking is it ok to check the video in the middle of rendering or could that possibly hurt the quality by interrupting something [23:00] robertzaccour, no, i don't think so, ubuntu is multitasking [23:00] Jordan_U i don't remember exactly how long i have my ubuntu but i'm certain when i installed my ubuntu grub was in 1.0. Now i have 10.04. terminal refuses to install grub-pc because another packages are broken [23:01] qemu does not handle gnome's keybinding changes well at all [23:01] ubuntu-usr: Well whatever else is happening you should fix your broken packages. Try "sudo apt-get -f install". [23:01] is there a way to find all packages installed after a certain date and time? I have looked through the man pages with no luck [23:01] wanderingi not sure if aTunes or amarok could do that trick [23:02] cryptk: not that ive ever heard/seen of. [23:02] in particular it sends caps lock even when caps lock is rebound to control by gnome [23:02] Jordan_U, what now? [23:02] cryptk: i think if apt system use a database for that you can check for apt docs [23:02] cryptk: Synaptic has a history where it lists packages installed by date ... [23:02] cryptk yes, synaptic > file > history [23:02] jaja [23:02] Jordan_U, i repaired them [23:03] hi, I'm having a problem with update-motd being called by `login`... what makes `login` issue `run-parts /etc/update-motd.d/` ? === g1 is now known as gryllida [23:03] cryptk: anyway... i think it's hard to accomplish that, maybe try to see if apt keeps a log or if you can sort installed packages by date in synaptic [23:03] thewanderer1: if you have a file in your home called '.hushlogin' it may not do that. :) it makes teh login messages all.. very quite [23:04] ubuntu-usr: If you installed when grub legacy was still the default then you will still be using grub legacy even after upgrading to 10.04. If you want to upgrade to grub2 (which I personally recommend), then install the grub-pc package. If you don't want to upgrade to grub2 then you'll need to look in /boot/grub/menu.lst for options rather than /etc/default/grub. [23:04] Dr_Willis, I don't have .hushlogin [23:05] thewanderer1: make one... thats why i said 'if you have...' :) [23:05] Dr_Willis, but what makes login call update-motd? update-motd is not even installed on my system!

[23:23] cablop, erUSUL I need it always but I can't even logon to Ubuntu I'm only on the GRUB configuration [23:23] cablop: I guess you have to register to use the "Chat" [23:24] roydude: so what's the actual error you get ? [23:24] Jordan_U, sorry in polish language http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LPpVUxVJ [23:24] fearful: grub configuration ? or grub menu ? [23:24] roydude: It uses it's own GUI + libparted (gparted is also included speparately) [23:24] ikonia: the disk has 121601 cylinders which is greater than the maximum of 65536 [23:24] erUSUL, well grub menu but I can open the command prompt or configuration, I'm getting child_rip error when loading. [23:24] ubuntu-usr, if you prepend LANG=C before your command, you get errors in English [23:25] use that when asking for help [23:25] fearful: just bypass it at booting, when you boot you can press a key to edit the grub boot options, then edit and go, after that edit /etc/default/grub [23:25] cablop: I had major problem with clicking on flash but I solved it somehow but since then I havent been able to write anything in flashbox or whatsoever [23:25] roydude: how big is the disk ? [23:25] roydude: is it a real physical disk or a virtual raid ? [23:25] ikonia: 1TB drive [23:25] ubuntu-usr: Please try using the main Ubuntu repositories as it appears there is something wrong with the mirror you're using currently. [23:25] cablop, how do I bypass it at booting [23:25] cyborg, you're right i'll need a registration... [23:25] i have a 64 bit system but its a 1.6GHz amd athalon with 3GB ram. should i really be running a 64 bit os on it? [23:25] ikonia 1TB physical disk [23:26] cyborgsmurf: is sharedtalk a good place? so i don't waste the registration, :P [23:26] #ubuntu-ma [23:26] robertzaccour, it does not hurt and you help computing as a whole to develop into 64 bits [23:26] roydude: I'm not %100 certain on this, but I remember someone was habing a problem with 1TB disks recently on kubuntu, and had to use the server install to partition it, it's to do with the partition table, (dos partition table) they needed GPT support which was only the in server kernel [23:26] roydude: Can you post a screenshot of the actual error message? [23:26] fearful: i think you can press a key at some time at booting, maybe the esc key [23:26] !screenshot | roydude [23:26] roydude: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [23:27] cablop: the people there are usually nice, its mostly for learning languege. I would recommend it if you want to learn a languege, but it is not a must :) [23:27] Jordan_U, if it helps it is in english now http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/emQ8swir [23:27] cablop, after I have clicked the option to start with ubuntu? [23:27] oh ok thanks [23:27] cyborgsmurf: well, i want to find a place to find korena or russian speakers... well. i gie it a try :) [23:27] Jordan_U: there isn't much other info to gain besides what Ubuntu complains about when it tries to format the drives during install... [23:27] cyborgsmurf: brb, wait till i register [23:27] cablop: then that is the perfect place I think :) [23:28] Jordan_U: the disk has 121601 cylinders which is greater than the maximum of 65536 [23:28] hi [23:28] ikonia: you think it's a partion table issue that doesn't support bigger drives? [23:28] roydude: it's dos partition table v's gpt [23:28] cablop, that didn't work. [23:28] roydude: from memory, yes [23:28] Jordan_U, and how about sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy [23:28] roydude: As I understand it C/H/S values are meaningless at this point, so that error doesn't make much sense to me. [23:29] Jordan_U, will work better? === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [23:29] roydude what is your problem? [23:29] ubuntu-usr: You run that after installing grub-pc (if you choose to try loading grub2 from grub-legacy before committing to grub2) [23:29] fearful, aww, i dunno, what else to do, afaik, grub gives you 5 seconds to enter the grub menu and edit [23:30] fearul, try safe mode, edit that file and then do sudo update-grub... i guess [23:30] fearful, or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, it depends on your exact grub version [23:30] Jordan_U, then please help me tov fix my repo [23:30] Jordan_U: ikonia: I've run into this before formatting a 1.5TB drive... I forget exactly how I fixed it... I had to get a different version of gparted... but I would think 10.04 would be on top of these things :) [23:30] I'll read up on partition tables [23:30] how do i convert an avi into a wmv please? i am a noob [23:30] cablop, so edit the file /etc/default/grub and add acpi=off? [23:31] in the default linux something fearful [23:31] roydude: try the sever install disk. I think that has gpt support built into the kernel [23:31] I finally had it with grub2 and installed lilo [23:31] fearful: the sad part is i'm in a virtual linux now so can't access my file to see it [23:31] cablop, I can't run recovery mode either [23:31] fearful: If you want to change the kernel parameters from the grub menu itself at boot press "e" to edit the menu entry. [23:31] how do i convert an avi into a wmv please? i am a noob [23:31] Jordan_U, ok, so do I just add acpi=off to there? [23:31] scottyg, What's noob? [23:31] cablop: have you joined yet :) [23:32] newbie [23:32] scott : ffmpeg [23:32] doing it, cyborgsmurf [23:32] cool ill try ffmpeg!!! [23:32] fearful: Yes, after "quiet splash" (and on the same line). Then press ctrl+x to boot the modified entry. [23:32] cyborgsmurf: not ready to allow registrations now :( [23:33] can someone link me the url for cesktop iso please [23:33] i have ff mpeg please tell me how to access it! [23:33] Jordan_U, and this will stay like this always? [23:33] scottyg: is a command line program [23:33] cablop: say whaat! hmmm... well bookmark the page at least... Whats up with that anyway? [23:33] scottyg: install winff if tyou want a gui to it [23:33] what is the syntax to convert a avi to a wmv? [23:33] ohhh ok! [23:33] cyborgsmurf: well, i'll try to save that bookmark, hehe don't know how to test flash then... [23:33] fearful: No, once you're booted you'll need to make it permanent by editing /etc/default/grub and running "update-grub" as explained before. [23:34] ikonia: gpt is supported in 10.04 desktop edition... I'm trying a format in gparted now... [23:34] scottyg: ffmpg -i file.wmv file.avi [23:34] Jordan_U, thank you so much also cablop and erUSUL worked like a charm just have to edit it once booted. [23:34] ikonia: seems to be going through... perhaps I can avoid the format process altogether during ubuntu install [23:34] fearful: You're welcome. === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [23:34] fearful: nice :) [23:34] roydude: how do you know it's supported, I thought it wasn't [23:35] cablop: darn... finally when someone could give me help THIS has to happen... I thank you for your help [23:35] wow getting ps3 media server to decode x264 on ubuntu server is a PITA [23:35] :) [23:35] hey [23:35] fearful: no problem [23:35] ikonia: gpt is definitely supported in 10.04. [23:35] ikonia: cause I selected it in the drop down list of table types :) [23:35] Jordan_U: I know it's in the kernel, wasn't sure about the actual installer [23:35] ikonia: I had an HD in the process of failing today... it was the OS disk :( [23:35] roydude: ahh perfect, lets see how that works [23:36] ikonia: I'm not using the installer :) using gparted [23:36] roydude: ahh [23:36] ikonia: If you have a > 4 TB disk it needs to use GPT, and the installer will setup gpt + a BIOS boot partition properly. [23:37] I'd like to know what the diffs are of these tables one day... what are the advantages of each... [23:37] success, now to install :) [23:37] tx for the help guys [23:37] cool [23:37] hey everyone, what's the best method to determine which partition is which when looking at gparted? [23:37] roydude: msdos partition table format is ugly and has annoying limitations. The only advantage is backwards compatability. [23:37] Hi, i have a DKU-5 cable (nokia serial cable) and according to this link http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Cables i need the ti_usb_3410_5052 driver, someone told me that i need to grab my kernel source and enable that module through menuconfig, build it then insmod it, is this the normal way of doing it ? thanks. [23:38] Jordan_U, just add it after quiet splash again correct? [23:38] fearful: Yes. [23:38] Thanks again Jordan_U [23:38] fearful: You're welcome. [23:39] she's installing now :) [23:39] * roydude is a happy boy [23:40] tx once again Ikonia and Jordan_U === thomas__ is now known as ThomasB2k [23:44] Has anyone ever figured out how to change the Skype icon in the notification area? [23:45] ThomasB2k, you basically replace the stock Skype icon with your own [23:45] There isn't one [23:45] for the notification area icon [23:45] anyone have a good method to figure out which partition your curren ubuntu is on? I have 4 partitions on my hd, 1 for windows, 1 for my home folder, 1 for lynx, and 1 for jaunty... I want to format the jaunty partition and resize the windows and lynx partitions with the leftover space [23:46] People have been asking that question for 2 years [23:46] Um Justin_ [23:46] ThomasB2k, yes? [23:47] Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer? [23:47] Justin_, type in `mount` and see what is under / [23:47] / is your root partition and it has a /dev/something pointing to it, that's your answer [23:47] thanks. I'm still fairly new to all this. [23:48] Justin, run "palimpsest" [23:48] that should tell you something if you still don't know [23:48] Jordan_U, I did this and when I restarted again, received the same child_rip error. [23:51] also, since i have a windows partition grub would be on it's boot record right? [23:51] Is it possible to daemonize a wine program and still see the interface once logged in? [23:52] justin_: No, grub should not be on the partition boot record of your windows partition. [23:53] can someone tell me what is the route command to add a gateway for a special subnet ( like 10.8.0.X ) ? [23:53] Jordan_U, any ideas why? [23:54] I'm messing with my Ubuntu and I like to know how I can change my login screen and where might I find more? [23:54] Bluh, System->Administration->Login screen [23:54] find more on gnome-look.org [23:55] cherva: try something like 'sudo route add -net 10.0.0.0/8 gw 10.0.X.X' === jeremy is now known as Guest48604 [23:55] Bluh, try these: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=609 http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gdm-gnome-display-manager-theme-in-ubuntu.html [23:55] (substituting your network's values, of course) [23:55] fearful: No. Is there a particular reason that you thought that adding acpi=off to the list of kernel parameters would fix things? [23:55] Jordan_U, well its the only way I figured it out that loads. === justin_ is now known as nkei0 [23:56] cherva: ip route add 10.8.0.0/24 via YOURGATEWAYIP [23:56] fearful: When did you get it to load by adding acpi=off? [23:56] chrissharp123, thanks it worked [23:56] Since the Live CD I had to use the option acpi=off to load Jordan_U [23:56] thewanderer1, thx [23:56] can someone help me install nvidia drivers it says not with x server [23:57] i did init.d/gdm.stop [23:58] organic4you: Use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, don't try to download the driver from nvidia's site. [23:59] can smone send me ubutu classroom irc channel name [23:59] #ubuntu-classroom [23:59] thnx
