[01:05] cablop, it's generally safer to do it manually, and you'll learn more! [01:05] cablop: dd on the UNmounted partitons [01:05] rebirth: There shouldn't be anything you need to do to install processing. Just unpack the archive and run the executable. You'll need java installed first. I don't know if it specifically requires Sun Java though. [01:05] hehe, maybe you're right, bobbo, to mess it would be very bad, preferable to do it by hand... [01:05] Think about it... who wants to read a 20-page document in a reader without any highlighting? The reading is on page 12, and the document is still at page 1.... Then, you miss a word because you are trying to listen to it fast [01:06] cablop, if you need help, just shout :) [01:06] thanls bobbo [01:06] So you have to search all over the document with find functions and your mouse wheel to see where you were...

[01:07] Yeah, I tried orca. The default speaking there is kind of lame, also. [01:07] ok i guess my question is then, how do di execute a shell script?

[01:07] i cannot edit any files sir [01:07] cablop: dd let's you clone partitons blockwise, to resize you need another tool like gparted [01:07] scottyg, gksu gdm.conf [01:07] please tell me how to enable root login [01:07] oops scotty it's gksu gedit gdm.conf [01:07] scottyg: see above [01:08] rebirth: Either double click on it, or navigate to it in a shell and run ./thefile [01:08] the file is empty!

[01:36] scottyg, yes winff should be able to create a mp3 that your player can play. [01:36] scottyg google man. Linux has the best docs [01:36] scottyg: please stop reppeating yourself. DasEi is trying to help you but give him more then 9 seconds to get you the answer [01:36] You can find almost anything in simple terms on google [01:36] if so, how do i do it? i am new to linux [01:36] does anybody have any issues with the up button? [01:36] !google | ReadPlease [01:36] ReadPlease: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [01:37] Use google first. Then, if someone gives you a push in the right direction, use google again. [01:37] scottyg: Supported Audio: MP3, WMA, AAC-LC, Linear PCM Supported Video: MPEG-4, h.264, WMV (DRM) @ 320x240 [01:37] scottyg, winff's graphical interface is pretty easy to understand. open it up and have a look [01:37] yes dasei! i converted to those, but the files still wont play:( [01:38] scottyg: so I'd suggest you format audio to mp3 and video to mp4 [01:38] i did mr sonoma! every time i convert a file...it does not play:( [01:38] Man, there's a good reason to say google it. I mean, teaching the 'google-fu', or whatever. IRC slows people down a lot, I think. Plus, people are more irritable without google. [01:38] scottyg: did you try to play the source files on vlc or other ? aren't they corrupted maybe ? [01:38] scottyg, are you using videolan? [01:39] dasei....there is no mp4 format to convert to just wmv:( [01:39] ReadPlease: it is channel policy not to tell people to google it. Please follow channel policy [01:39] scottyg: and the source file is ? [01:39] the files play PERFECT in vlc [01:39] k [01:39] the source file is an avi... [01:40] how do i configure winff to convert to a mp4? [01:40] your mp3 player doesn't play avi? [01:40] what model is your mp3 player? [01:40] my mp3 player will not play the avi from my camera i think the size is off [01:41] it is a NWZ-e340 mp3 player [01:41] or maybe it requires a codec [01:41] Hi, anybody with an EEE900 here? [01:41] by sony [01:41] i have a file that plays in this mp3 player....how do i make other files like it? [01:42] Video format, MPEG-1 [01:42] So, if you're going to convert to something, convert to that. [01:42] my winff will not allow me to convert to that [01:43] scottyg: mencoder installed ? [01:44] yes mencoder is installed! [01:45] i think that avidemux will allow it [01:45] I'm trying to find an ubuntu program that will.... [01:45] ReadPlease: MPEG-1 is pretty terrible when it comes to video. [01:45] avitompeg is a program [01:45] how do i create presets for my sony walkman? [01:45] Yeah, but it's all that his mp3 player is compatible with [01:45] scottyg: http://pastebin.com/1TXsqrPJ , and alter the target/path to your needs [01:46] ReadPlease, i'm looking at winff now. IRRC you can convert to all the mpeg formats [01:46] thanx [01:46] Okay, I don't know how. I'm out. :) [01:46] another question - my account is not in the sudoers list. but i have the root password. how do i use sudo from my account? [01:46] even so, with winff installed mjpegtools is installed (dependancy) so cli you could but that's not that n00b friendly [01:48] no that did not work...please look at my paste bin for the specs of the wmv file that does work...http://paste.ubuntu.com/465687/ [01:48] see? nothing works!

[01:50] so far nothing has worked [01:50] Hello, I tried using a ppp connection with my ubuntu 10.04 to get on the internet.

I need to set it up [02:40] fn ell [02:40] not too many people there [02:40] Ashfire908: so run it, and it'll guide you [02:40] Snakkah, I am searching google for "xdm theme modify how-to" I found http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree-Local-multi-user-HOWTO/automation_login_screen.html which tells you how to do it through config file modification, although I am hoping to find a gui app [02:40] !bug | GAN900 [02:40] GAN900: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [02:41] dasei i have had problems with ubuntu one for a while now, it doesn't do anything with my bookmarks [02:41] can I turn on VNC (Remote Desktop) using the command line? [02:41] So the wiki's claims that you can file a bug using the website are incorrect, then? [02:41] So whats up with no audio and dysfunctional shutdown/restart buttons? [02:42] hey,is tehre a way to change my recording voice?, i sound like a bat ... somehow .. [02:42] and can somebody tell me off-hand which package provides the (broken) weather station information? [02:42] my cursor is randomly vibrating lately. how do i get it to stop? [02:42] GAN900: No, it's not incorrect but the preffered method is ubuntu-bug. [02:43] situation : now i try to set up ubuntu one and it can't recognize my computer and trys to save XXXX.bin.part after i try to confirm [02:43] Jordan_U, I can't divine the correct links to click in LaunchPad to make that happen, then. [02:44] Snakkah, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308573 [02:44] GAN900: What weather information are you talking about? Where are you accessing it? [02:44] steve__: idk, I won't store bookmarks externally [02:44] situation : now i try to set up ubuntu one and it can't recognize my computer and trys to save XXXX.bin.part after i try to confirm [02:45] DasEi, Before I opened the prefs and I got no useful options, but I took a random stab, restarted the client, and opened the prefs, and one of those two triggered the authorize computer page, which did it. [02:45] Jordan_U, right clicking the statusbar clock [02:45] lostnhell, apparently Xubuntu uses GDM, not XDM. [02:45] Jordan_U, that applet's prefs claim St. Petersburg, FL is a substation of Tampa, FL. [02:46] I MIGHT be mistaken. That is the impression I'm getting though. [02:46] Ashfire908: i went the wa in first setting up account via browser, then add this to the prefs, for files it works [02:46] Snakkah, you will have to check you running processes or your xinitrc to verify which you use [02:46] Ashfire908: *way [02:46] DasEi, I already had an account. [02:47] Snakkah, you can run the command " ps -A|grep -i dm" in your terminal to see which is running [02:47] can someone help me with an irc related question? i know it the ubuntu channel, but usually there are smart people with good advice here [02:47] DasEi: yea, weird about the CDs booting futher now. The desktop one gets to an initramfs prompt complaining it can't find a live file system, but the minimal image seems to be installing just fine (Maybe the desktop burn was bad, the md5s matched at least) [02:48] xchat says my name (willp) is in use by someone... it's registered and has a password so i think i must not have logged out or something properly. anyone know how to fix this? [02:48] lostnhell, all that gives me is " (standard input) " what does that mean? === AFFA is now known as remote [02:48] willp2: Ask in #freenode [02:48] thanks jordan [02:49] Snakkah, did you copy the command from your irc client or try to type it? [02:49] cornbread: prbly, or the disk's table was so corrupted that the installer stuck their, but then would be the same on minimal and should result in no hd found, strange [02:49] I typed it [02:49] ubuntu-bug claims "clock-applet" doesn't exist [02:49] How convenient [02:49] I m from Brazil. Hello for anybody [02:50] Snakkah, the symbol between -A and grep is not an i or L, it is the vertical symbol above the enter key [02:50] willp2: /msg nickserv ghost willp password [02:50] ok now im confused [02:50] I'm aware of that lostnhell [02:50] That's what I typed. [02:50] GAN900: alarm-clock-applet , or a apllet of a metapackage ? [02:50] situation : now i try to set up ubuntu one and it can't recognize my computer and trys to save XXXX.bin.part after i try to confirm [02:51] alarm-clock-applet is, apparently, not installed. [02:51] Before in previous distro it said realtek something..... now according to lspci its nvidia HD something.... [02:51] soundcard [02:51] ? [02:51] Snakkah, and it gave you an error message? [02:51] So that would seem not to be the culprit. [02:51] lostnhell, all it gave me was "(standard input)" in purple. That's it. No error message. [02:52] GAN900: gnome-applets contains that icon then [02:52] Snakkah, do you get valid output when you run "ps -A"? [02:52] I just lost external audio, I cant hook up my laptop to external speaker, however it works fine in preboot diagnostics [02:53] lostnhell, it gives me a list of all running processes [02:53] Snakkah, and are you including the quotes when you ran the first command? sorry for the noob questions, I am not assuming anything [02:53] I wasn't including quotes [02:54] Snakkah, can you manually review the output of ps -A to see if and gdm entries are listed, or would you like to try the grep method again? [02:55] Snakkah, s/and/any/ [02:55] Greetings.. does the JeOS install still exist? I can't see the install option on 10.04 server or alternate.

[03:18] slinkeey, eh... it isn't professional but I do like its minimalism :). It would be good to have something for testing repeated words, word count, etc [03:18] sdwrage, does the minalism keep you from Open Office? [03:18] Festicle, Mr_Sonoma Mythweb is really slow and takes ages to respond and mythexport wil not open and gives me a 4040 errror [03:19] slinkeey: doesn't work damn it!

[03:20] slinkeey: ok baby steps [03:20] slinkeey, sort of :P I don't use open office that often. [03:20] rosstaylor, did you try it by ip address [03:20] slinkeey: i went to my desktop and I set up my RD preferences [03:20] Hello everybody, if you don't mind, I've got some quick questions? [03:20] slinkeey: i allowed others to view and control my desktop but they must confirm each access with a password [03:21] Sorry BUT, how can I tell which video drivers am I using because my screen is dark [03:21] I'm running the i7-980x cpu. It should have 12 threads but cpuinfo only shows 8. http://pastebin.org/403849 not sure where to start [03:21] !ask | Xubuntu_Newb [03:21] Xubuntu_Newb: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:21] hah. [03:21] rileyp i would first start by making sure the database username and passwords are correct === styx is now known as Styx993 [03:21] * Viking667 just found out that CMD.EXE really has some distinct limitations [03:22] slinkeey: hold on [03:22] All right, I've noticed occasionaly I get this problem (which I blame on lag) whenever I try to open something up, e.g Terminal, I see a small tab open, with the process name, close, then nothing runs, is this simply lag? [03:22] Hello... I am having a had time getting my ppp connection to work right.. It only work from command line stuff like ping, telnet and ftp.... I can not get it to work with my webbrowser, irc via xchat.... all the x apps [03:23] Festicle its mythtv and mythtv i flushed privileges yesterday as per the mythtv wiki [03:23] it shows that its failing with the credentials you provided [03:24] hey, would anyone happen to know if there is any way possible to save a movie with totem? [03:24] try logging in manually into mysql with the username and password you are trying to use [03:24] slinkeey: i clicked connect but everytime it says connection closed [03:24] if you need specifics PM me [03:24] I'm trying to get poulsbo graphics working. [03:25] hey anyone familiar with emerald theams? [03:25] Followed this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/ Still not working, and even worse than before. I get a sort of interlaced look to the error screens. [03:25] ok so i choose an emerald theam but nothing happens. what do i do [03:28] how do you find HKEY_current_user\software\wine folder?anybody [03:28] with regedit [03:28] wine's regedit, that is [03:29] Styx993 there is a plugin edit/plugins menu [03:29] iflema, where do i get it? [03:29] what's the kernel version in 10.04? [03:30] 2.6.31 I think [03:30] I have 2.6.32-22 [03:30] ancient [03:30] but that's because the kernel's been upgraded a few times. [03:30] alright thanks [03:30] Styx993 enable it.... edit/plugins (menu) it records to disc. [03:30] mmmm. I'm only going with the packaged version. [03:30] Folks, I did an update on Friday with apt-get, and my wireless isn't working (as of Friday afternoon, which is the first time I noticed). I can't be positive, but I think the upgrade broke wireless. It's in a perpetual state of "disabled" and I'm unable to "enable" it. Is there anyway I can see what packages were "upgraded" and "undo" them without an internet connection? [03:31] do anybody knows how to find hkey folders [03:31] how do you access another computer remotely and control it in ubuntu - i have two computers both are 1004 and i want to be able to connect to my desktop from a remote location and control it [03:31] Found the option.. [03:31] fobek22: yes, using the regedit that comes with wine [03:31] wat u mean am a newe [03:31] iflema, which plugin is it? i don't see any "save to file" or anything [03:32] how do i select a different kernel on grub bootup? [03:32] where do i find regetit [03:32] intx, i think you would have to modify the grub.cfg to give you a menu [03:32] fobek22: do you have "wine" installed? [03:33] Styx993 im on 10.04 Lucid Lynx, name =Video Disc Recorder [03:33] yes [03:33] ??? wouldn't that just record to a dvd? [03:33] see if there's a menu called "Wine programs" [03:33] Sorry BUT, how can I tell which video drivers am I using because my screen is dark [03:33] I can't actually help with that as I've got something else thatdoes the same job as wine, but it's more ... sophisticated. [03:34] hello [03:34] nope cant find it [03:34] fobek22: hm. Then I can't help, as I don't know the state of your machine. [03:34] Like Always Thank you FOR NOTHING!!! YOU ARE ALL GREAT!!!! [03:35] ubuntu 10.04 [03:35] I'm wondering, is it safe to upgrade from ubuntu 9 to ubuntu 10.04? It deletes files or something? [03:35] you have the same dont you [03:35] antonio am with you [03:36] how do you access another computer remotely and control it in ubuntu - i have two computers both are 1004 and i want to be able to connect to my desktop from a remote location and control it [03:36] rosstaylor: vnc [03:36] ill find out my self [03:36] iflema, you still there? [03:37] viking667 : can you run it with me step by step please [03:37] Styx993 what you copying? dvds, youtube, ?? [03:37] there's a program called vinaigre you could install, that helps you on the server end. Then you just use the Remote Desktop client in your menus if you installed it. [03:37] i need to save a video from a playlist to a file [03:37] rosstaylor, VNC or ssh [03:37] how can i do that? [03:37] once you configure your wireless card to be just like your router with key, does dhclient automatically associate and connect you? [03:37] rosstaylor: I'm on ssh to my Ubuntu machine as it is, no idea what packages you have installed. [03:37] rosstaylor: so, you want to view the desktop? [03:37] intx: hold shift during boot to get the grub menu. [03:37] rosstaylorhttp://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/75382.aspx [03:37] Jordan_U: thanks [03:38] currently the only way i can see is to get another media player [03:38] or just forward application windows from your other machine to your local machine? [03:38] intx: You're welcome. [03:38] can somone tell me how i reset my root pass i dont actually know it [03:38] viking667 : i want to be able to view and control it from a remote location, [03:38] Styx993 sounds odd to me..... as you where..... [03:38] viking667 : not just viewing it [03:38] iflema what? [03:38] !root | JJ_ [03:38] JJ_: 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 [03:38] viking667: how can i go about doing so [03:39] rosstaylor: first, install vinaigre using the software manager. [03:39] I've noticed that with chromium-browser, there's some writes to /var/tmp/ through sqlite3. Reading about sqlite3, it appears that there's some/a hard-coded temp dir and an environment variable to override the default. So, does anyone here know why the default is /var/tmp and not, say, /dev/sdhm? [03:39] How do I revert kernels after I installed one? [03:39] rosstaylor: then, look for a remote desktop client. I'll go look up what mine's called. [03:39] err, /dev/shm [03:39] ubuntu used to go hibernating fine before. however, now when battery is low on my macbook, it says it will go to hibernation soon, but it doesn't and my macbook turns off before ubuntu hibernates [03:39] any help? [03:40] Kuwanger: because there's more likely to be a /var/tmp perhaps? [03:40] Viking667: chromium already uses /dev/shm. [03:40] Crash210 just select the old one in grub. you can set the old one to default by editing your /boot/grub/grub.cfg [03:40] so in other words i would just type sudo reboot [03:40] ? [03:40] Viking667: And both are specified in the Linux FHS. [03:41] mplayer it is, then [03:41] rosstaylor: I'm just logging in now. [03:41] viking667 : should I install vino as well? [03:42] viking667 : there are many files in the package manager [03:42] rosstaylor: vino ... I've heard of that. [03:42] As long as you install the VNC server on the server end, and install the client on the client machine, you'll probably be right. [03:43] viking667 : ok i'm installing about vinagre and vino [03:43] btw, vinagre is the client. [03:43] vino is the server [03:44] you could install both, that way you can control machines in both directions. [03:44] so [03:44] ok [03:44] does anyone know why my virtualbox says "no suitable module for running kernel found" ? [03:44] well.... [03:45] BKTech86, what did you type in the virtualbox client OS terminal? [03:45] how hard is to convert a common partition into a raid partition? usung software raid [03:45] lostnhell, virtualbox-ose start [03:46] viking667 : ok now what [03:46] is there an ubuntu alternative NETinstall iso? [03:46] all right everybody, thank you, iflema, for trying to help a little bit. i guess i'll just figure it out on my own :| [03:46] start up vino, feed it with a password. [03:46] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied [03:46] ? [03:46] on the other computer (assuming that's beside you) fire up vinagre, point it to your first machine [03:47] rosstaylor: those two lines were for you, by the way [03:47] wait [03:47] viking667 : how do you start vino on the desktop [03:47] brb, making coffee... coofffeeeeeeeeee GCOOOOFFFEEE!!!!! [03:47] viking667 : i don't see it [03:47] BKTech86, it sounds like your installation of virtualbox did not install the necessary modules [03:47] i tired to use this command sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and then it says this what have i done wrong?

Anyone know a way to replace it? [04:38] people that dont know how to use a search engine shouldnt even be allowed in irc in my opinion [04:38] The Ubuntu Main Menu should work numbergrey [04:38] or the application bar [04:39] numberGrey: I think it's called quick user switcher, or something about session. === Thomas__ is now known as ThomasB2k [04:39] numberGrey: I'd check for myself, but I don't use the default panel anymore, lol [04:39] ok I will take a peek [04:39] numberGrey: you can try to right click on the bottom taskbar in a blank area, and click "Add to panel" and there is the logout and shutdown shortcuts listed there [04:39] undecim what do you use? [04:39] Hm, which package is the ipw2200 module in? [04:39] ThomasB2k: Avant Windows Navigator [04:39] Window* [04:40] ahh [04:40] puff: ipw2200 comes built in all supported Ubuntu kernels and should be included in every release [04:40] okay === wai is now known as avidya [04:40] hi there, how do i install ubuntu mini without internet connectivity? [04:40] I use a combination of Docky and the gnome panel [04:40] I replaced the entry in gconf, so that awn launches in place of the panel. [04:40] puff: you can try "find / -name 2200" in terminal to search the location of the module [04:40] kernelupdate: So it's part of the kernel package? [04:41] ThomasB2k: I would do that, but gnome panel doesn't work well as a sidebar. [04:41] puff: i believe so since at least 2005 [04:41] ThomasB2k: I want to maximize vertical space, you see... [04:41] undecim: have you looked into cairo-dock? it has applets that can do what you're wanting. [04:41] kernelupdate: I'm trying to file a bug report, it wants to know what package it is. I know what module it is, but it doens't show up in dpkg -l | fgrep -i ipw [04:41] puff: the modules also exist on sourceforge if you really want them [04:41] hmm, I was hoping to get the same applet back, these are somewhat different applets... [04:41] kernelupdate: no, I'm just trying to figure out the details for tihs bug report. [04:41] puff: try the find thing to see if anything gets returned [04:41] bastidrazor: I have all I need with AWN. My experience with Cairo is that it's buggy [04:42] Cairo is a bit complicated too [04:42] bastidrazor: Of course that was some time ago, so I'm sure it's better now. [04:42] undecim: it is your choice. best of luck. [04:42] kernelupdate, great. thanks. so it seems i dont need to do anything ahead of time. [04:42] Idk between docky and AWN, each one has features that I like that the other one doesn't. I love AWN's Terminal applet [04:42] 大家好 [04:42] but i love the elegance of docky [04:43] ThomasB2k: Yeah, AWN has as lot more applets, and the terminal is by far my favorite [04:43] how do i update my ubuntu 10.04 kernel to 2.6.34? i need it for driver support. [04:43] ThomasB2k: At the very least, it gives me a use for that "menu" button. I have it set to open the terminal. [04:43] just sudo-apt get upgrade [04:44] ThomasB2k: its not listed in the apt packages (apt-cache search) [04:44] hmm [04:44] weird [04:44] i honestly don't know [04:44] brb restart [04:44] ThomasB2k: i know its released since its in Ubuntu 10.10, but i need it in 10.04 [04:44] kernelupdate: I think the only option you have is to compile manually. [04:45] undecim: thats what i tried and failed [04:45] failed how? [04:45] undecim: can i pin the package using the 10.10 repo? [04:45] Where does ubuntu 10 keep its connection manager flat files? im trying to edit a dsl profile and it doesnt store them under /etc/ppp , anyone know? [04:45] kernelupdate: nothing from find. This page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs) says do "ubuntu-bug PID" but ubuntu-bug responds with "The specificed process ID does not belong to a program". [04:45] kernelupdate: I don't know if that's a good idea... [04:46] puff: maybe try searching top or the gnome-system-manager for pid <-> name [04:46] undecim: i don't think its been tried before [04:46] kernelupdate: well ps -ef | fgrep -i 2200 gets me: root 5985 2 0 Jul17 ? 00:00:14 [ipw2200/0] === Thomas__ is now known as ThomasB2k [04:47] kernelupdate: It might be better to manually download and install only the packages you need rather than add the whole repo. === all is now known as Guest46480 [04:47] undecim: thats an interesting idea, from packages.ubuntu.com 10.10? [04:47] yeah [04:48] kernelupdate: You will probably have a little bit of dependency hell to work through though. [04:48] anyone here know a good nagios channel?

[04:50] undecim: can i get it from the alternative 10.10 disk for my arch? [04:50] kernelupdate: probably [04:50] kernelupdate: Ubuntu should automatically detect that the disk has packages [04:51] hi all [04:51] kernelupdate: Wait a minute....

[04:54] bastidrazor: or so I understand it is called now. IT's that menu in the upper right hand corner that allows shutdown, user switch, social connectivity in 10.04, etc. It first began appearing in early forms of the last few releases. [04:54] illac, it's greyed out [04:54] sirninja: check your touch pad drivers? [04:54] illac, it works fine under awesome wm. I think it's because gnome is trying to load something that breaks it. I'm trying to figure out what that is [04:55] sirninja: hmmm yea I don't know I haven't had any issues, upgraded to 10.4 from 9.10 [04:55] jdu: Indicator Applet [04:55] undecim: downloading now, should work great, thanks for saving me much time [04:55] does anyone have experience with ubuntu mini?

[04:56] they do, yeah [04:56] jdu: Indicator Applet Session [04:56] sigmonsays: think you can add them to your sources list though [04:56] sigmonsays: when you upgrade, they list which packages are dropped in support [04:56] kernelupdate: can't you add them to your sources list and still use them??

(3328 symbolic), equaling to 23685632 files [04:57] bastidrazor: we're I branding ubuntu, I would ignore such egocentric names. The problem is that this is a family member's login, and I would like to restore the menu. [04:57] bastidrazor: oh I didn't see your posts [04:57] That's strange. They downgraded glade-3 to glade-2 in hardy -> karmic; I'm gonna take away their crack pipe and get those druggies into rehab [04:57] bastidrazor: thanks [04:57] illac: yes, you can, sometimes this might give errors over time, but you can always download the packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com (the *.deb which are like *.exe in windows or *.dmg in mac) [04:58] hi [04:58] !hi | meng [04:58] meng: 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! [04:58] bastidrazor: exactly what I needed; indication is not what I think of when I consider its primary functionality. Thanks so much! [04:58] illac, that's entering dependancy hell trying to use different distro/release packge repos [04:58] Where does ubuntu 10 keep its connection manager flat files? im trying to edit a dsl profile and it doesnt store them under /etc/ppp , anyone know? [04:59] which is a bad idea (tm) [04:59] sigmonsays: true [04:59] jdu: somethings are a bit vague in translation i agree. best of luck. [05:00] bastidrazor: normally I feel more adept [05:01] jdu: many things have been changed in 10.04 or rearranged. its almost like learning a new OS at times. [05:01] bastidrazor: many changes are attributed to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com feel free to suggest ideas there [05:03] bastidrazor: yes; tweaking has required some relearning, and increased familiarity with gconf-editor [05:04] i forgot the win7 wifi drivers for this netbook suck [05:04] bastidrazor: thanks & bye [05:14] Can i install10.04 with out loosing any applications from my previous version?? [05:15] anyone there?? [05:15] hello, everyone, I forget my email password which is stored in evolution. The gnome wiki says it's in ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution/ but I don't have this directory. does anyone know where the password is stored? I'm using 10.04 [05:16] chinmaya_n: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade === Kaie is now known as Guest72269 [05:16] In the command line what command would I preface or append my GUI application launch command to ensure I get no output in that terminal window and can continue to enter bash commands? [05:16] chinmaya_n: that should upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 without issues (hopefully :/) [05:16] hi [05:16] ennui: & [05:16] You are better off odoing a fresh installation though === Thomas__ is now known as ThomasB2k [05:17] I 've my /home partition seperate!~ ! will that affect it [05:17] how can i write in another languages? i mean chinese and japanese among others [05:17] chinmaya_n: & <-- daemonize [05:17] can someone help me with xbuntu? Cannot see network shares on windows - Xubuntu chennel is dea [05:17] ennui: <-- daemonize [05:17] illac, can u come again [05:17] ennui: BAHHH & == daemonize [05:17] I 've my /home partition seperate!~ ! will that affect it [05:17] LinuxFrustrated: to share folders is not related to xubuntu i guess, but ubuntu base [05:17] no [05:17] it wont' chinmaya [05:18] LinuxFrustrated: did you set up samba? [05:18] chinmaya_n: crossed wires, I'm not sure if having your home on another partition will mess it up, I can't imagine it would. [05:18] cant even browse a simple windows workgroup [05:18] which sould be standard [05:18] chinmaya_n: what is your problem? [05:18] cab - no do I really need to become a file server just to see a windows share [05:18] LinuxFrustrated: what you need to access windows files is samba, then install it [05:18] cablop, Can i install 10.04 with out loosing any applications from my previous version?? [05:19] hello, everyone, I forget my email password which is stored in evolution. The gnome wiki says it's in ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution/ but I don't have this directory. does anyone know where the password is stored? I'm using 10.04 [05:19] i don't know the current way, i just new the old way, but anyway samba is the answer [05:19] I have samba installed yes - I can see the shares I cannot open then [05:19] cablop, I 've my /home partition seperate!~ ! will that affect it [05:19] ennui: yourapplication& <-- will for it to background [05:19] enniu: try a "man screen" to use screen, or use xinit in tty0 (alt+ctrl+f1) and say switch to tty1 (alt+ctrl+f2) for example (switching those switches out of the GUI you are in now if you are in one) [05:19] then your issue, LinuxFrustrated is permissions, set same users in both sides === thoffmeyer is now known as thoffmeyer|AFK [05:20] chinmaya_n: what you ned to perform is an upgrade, afaik, ubuntu take care of what you do [05:20] wow I can't type for shite tonight :/ [05:20] but, in the other hand, chinmaya_n, if you made custom settings, then some of thencould be lost if you don't backup them first [05:21] cablop, what do you mean by custom settings?? [05:21] chinmaya_n: for example custom settings in your apache or your mysql config, or in your .bashrc or in your IMEs for example [05:22] chinmaya_n: in the past i messed up my keyboard cause i used scim to write chinese, then scim got broken at some point and i was unable to restore it... also i lost some databases cause i had them in diferent partitions [05:22] cablop, Thanx !! I 've many issues with my current OS will they get resolved ! like gnome problems and resolution too [05:22] What a simple task...why is linux so damn frustrating? I have Samba installed - I can see the shares under file manage network - but I cannot access them [05:23] in the other hand if you wouldn't mind to make all things again then create them again [05:23] how do I set up permission son the shares in linux [05:23] Is it possible to open more GUIs? I mean, I have one now in what I think should be tty7 [05:23] i'll do a fresh install, this is the recommended methond for ANY os [05:23] NinoScript: yes you can, just switch to another user and you would have a different tgui there [05:24] Does anybody know where the password of evolution is stored? [05:24] cablop, K... But I fear If i do fresh install then, I ve huge data in my /home/ like vid's music' doc's will they get effected ??\ [05:24] NinoScript: with enough care you're able to launch a different session for same user, as long as i don't recommend it excpt if you are using different guis, like openning gnome in one tty and xfce4 in another [05:24] If they wont I would be happy to do a fresh install !!? :) [05:25] cablop, that sounds fun, what could go wrong if I open two GNOMEs for example? [05:25] chinmaya_n: then don't mount that partition until you're sure you did things right or if you can't reconstruct your same users [05:25] i need the latest ruby 1.8.7 build [05:25] NinoScript: well, you can give custom settingsto one gnome and different settings in the other session, then guess what would happen if you reopen gnome another day [05:26] apt-get install ruby says build 22 is the latest version [05:26] I'm not sure what it is but I don't scroll non stop when I push down the middle mouse button. [05:26] NinoScript: simple things like backgrounds wouldn't be an issue, but things like keyboard or windows manager... ell, guess [05:26] if I can see a network folder, but not open it - what do I do next - I dont even get the simple pleasure of an error message [05:26] http://www.pastie.org/1049962 [05:26] ^^-- my problem [05:27] bonhoffer: ou can force versions or get a deb for you, or build from scratch [05:27] know of a good tutorial to build from scratch [05:27] or get the deb [05:27] thanx everyone... I'll come back .... Happy ubuntuing [05:27] bonhoffer: some people compile packages compatible to earlier versions, just grab a copy from them or add their repositories [05:27] bonhoffer: gutsy and dapper are way past end of life [05:27] !eol [05:27] of course use trustworhy sources [05:27] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [05:28] oh . . . [05:28] this is why I cant ever see using linux, cant even browse a network [05:28] Has anybody got gma500 poulsbo working on 10.04 yet? [05:28] i don't have time to upgrade . . . [05:28] damn [05:29] bonhoffer: one time i installed some packages in redhat from a different version, i ned to say the aplication that was going to use them were to find them, it's not pleasant, but that works [05:29] bonhoffer: if truby is like java, then you just need to install a version not in the system, but elsewhere, opt maybe?, and configure your app to look there [05:30] hey, does anyone know of a program that can diff files on an ftp server? [05:30] can i set custom backgrounds in nautilus for some folders? i liked that in the past in winows days, and willing to have that feature here again :P [05:30] i want to compare a folder locally against the remote sewrver [05:30] I'm not sure what it is but I don't scroll non stop when I push down the middle mouse button. [05:31] bluh an error related with how fast is window manager reading your inputs === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer [05:31] i forgot the soluton but check the keyboard rate or something like that === n is now known as Guest76837 [05:33] welll i think there's no scim alternative... or not people here knowing about that [05:33] I wrote that wrong, I'm looking for a way to have my mouse scroll when I push down the middle button. [05:33] anyone? cant browse windows network [05:35] EspadaV8_W: what i use is WinSCP, but i don't know if i can run it in linux, maybe through Wine, but WinSCP do wht you want i use it for every website i run [05:36] can someone explain why I cant see w windows share [05:37] EspadaV8_W: i don't have magic solution. i would just use wget --recursive and diff locally. [05:37] cablop: scim was replaced by ibus http://www.pinyinjoe.com/linux/ubuntu-10-chinese-setup.htm [05:37] LinuxFrustrated: you have samba set up? [05:38] I have samba - have no idea what setup means - it not very intuitive [05:38] LinuxFrustrated: maybe your settings, maybe a firewall, maybe your router, networlk policies, users permissions, it could be almost anything [05:38] i dont get why I need to be a server with samba to browse a windows file share [05:39] LinuxFrustrated: you need the samba thing cause your Linux need to know how to understand the file share protocol [05:39] is ubuntu xubutnu supposed to be able to brose a windows network out of the box [05:39] is the same with any other os [05:39] between windows machines you must enable something called like shared folders and printers thing, isn't it? [05:40] eadh machine in a windows workgroup is a server of its own files, wo why linux wouldbe an exception? [05:40] did the folder you want to access have permissions for everyone? then disable it and give explicit permissions [05:41] maybe that folder have eveyone remote access but no real everyone on system permissions to [05:41] the windows folder is a shre - normally would not need a password if it was windows to windows [05:41] LinuxFrustrated: they do need credentials, but inside windows they're silently managed [05:42] years ego in my university we needed to set a password for the admin user, cause with no password it has no access to nothing [05:42] lets start somewhere - is there anything special on the windows side I need to do on the sahred folder [05:42] well, this is a good starting point [05:43] check local permissions, then set specific permissions, then check NO other folder has everyone permissions [05:43] then kill remote sessions and then retry for a from a different windows machine [05:43] then try to access from linux [05:44] if you have the hared folders from a home version of windows you will face some issues, cause home versions use simple sharing by default, making some permissions useless [05:45] i need a clipboard manager for gnome, is there any good thing out there? [05:45] LinuxFrustrated: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/05/share-filesfolders-between-windows-xp-vista-7-and-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-via-samba/ check the ubuntu part adding a user [05:46] cablop: would the KDE clipper thing work in GNOME? [05:46] Mr_Sonoma: yes [05:46] parcellite too [05:47] dunno, Mr_Sonoma [05:47] cablop: yeah, alas using wine (or a gui) isn't an option, it's for a headless server :( [05:47] If I were to get a virus on my Ubuntu, could it get to my windows or vice verse? [05:48] thune3: hmmm, that could be an option (although it'd have to be ftp download, diff, ftp upload [05:48] MaRk-I said it would cablop. could try that (i've considered it but haven't yet) [05:48] Bluh: only if you transfer that file to your windows and run it [05:48] what do viruses do? [05:48] !kernel [05:48] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [05:49] bluh a virus designed for diferent operative systems could exist, but it demands tooooo much effort to do and i barely believe you can catch it with ease... [05:49] cablop, er, no. that would not be one virus. [05:49] maybe a set of viruses that propagate each other per OS ... === thoffmeyer is now known as thoffmeyer|AFK [05:50] well, i remembered the balster times, it can go through linux machines to infect windows machines, linux were like asymptomatical vectors, lol [05:50] Is there a channel to ask sysadmin-ish type questions? [05:50] heh [05:50] !away > thoffmeyer|AFK [05:51] thoffmeyer|AFK, please see my private message [05:51] and what could really affect both systems could be set up in usb things... bt i guess it's too hard to make a virus like that [05:51] cablop, not too hard. it's just, they don't care about other oses. [05:51] there are viruses that make USB drives .... difficult to use. [05:52] crux000: ask away [05:52] Is there any stuff I should get for my Ubuntu? I have firefox with Noscript and Requestpoilcy as well as a firewall configuration. [05:52] i think a virus relying on python, java or mono/.net could be developed... [05:52] Bluh: I use flashblock in addition, ditto AdBlock Pro [05:52] cablop, sort of. it could. but how would it exploit anything? [05:52] Viking667, pro? or plus? [05:52] cabl: I seem to have follwed those instructions already not getting anything [05:52] dunno, it's just a possibility [05:53] not sure, which it is, but it's one of those. ABP [05:53] Mr_Sonoma: I've got a semi-trashed RAID5 array, with mdadm no longer picking it up properly.... was looking to find someone who could help pick through the pieces. [05:53] well, back to more feasible things [05:53] possible, probable [05:53] Mr_Sonoma: (in particular, the only option I think I have is to recreate the array with mdadm --assume-clean ... and hope for the best?) [05:53] do nautilus support custom folder backgrounds? [05:54] crux000: wish i could be of more help on this one, but RAID is not really my specialty. [05:54] Mr_Sonoma: nor I. :( knew enough to set it up, and even recover from one with a single degraded drive, but this did me in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/607006 [05:55] I may have to try mint or a linux thats actually useable [05:55] has anyone tried installing wrath of the lich king dvd with wine? keep getting errors [05:55] As well as if I don't run something as a Root user then I should be safe from it infecting all of my computer? [05:55] Mr_Sonoma: The "--assume-clean" option has this helpful bit in the man page: "Use this only if you really know what you are doing." ;) [05:56] woodyjlw: checked out the application database at winehq? [05:56] bluh, why you worry that much, don't worry, the possibility to become that hardly infected is not that big if you use safe measures to handle your os [05:57] crux000: LOL sounds like the sorta deals i always find myself in. course most problems aren't really problems until things go REALLY wrong with me [05:57] shouldnt there be a log for cron? [05:57] crux i was just reading about raid... i guess if you mirrored the thing one of the copies would be ok, then use that copy [05:57] Mr_Sonoma: ... good learning experience except hopefully I don't fry 5 years' worth of younger brother's video footage along with it [05:57] MACscr: i'm fairly sure those are in the syslog [05:57] vking667, no have not checked there yet [05:58] EspadaV8_W: if you can get away with using timestamps and filesizes as a diff indicator, you could probably use some rsync trick to get a basic idea: http://psung.blogspot.com/2008/06/comparing-directory-trees-with-diff-or.html [05:58] cablop: It was set up RAID 5 and was degraded w/ one drive missing; then got some random crap written over it due to a weird livecd bug when I was dealing with the degraded drive. [05:58] woodyjlw: as I remember it, that's a WoW add-on [05:58] crux000: one of the reasons i've opted for a 2nd computer as a backup for photos, videos. use a script to copy changes to certain directories to the 2nd computer. [05:58] Mr_Sonoma i think you can manually create a diffeent raid array then check it, use it as a degraded aray and check wich copy is ok, backup if you need and remake the array [05:59] I can see the Linux Samba shares from XP but tno the other way around. [05:59] cablop: I wanted to know because I have no clue as how Linux runs, I'm very use to Windows and have the feel when something is wrong but I don't know that for this yet. [05:59] i know raid should do the same for me but this makes me "feel" safer for some reason [05:59] Mr_Sonoma: This is the 'backup' system, but yeah.... tough to keep redundancy on > 1TB for cheap, though; especially 4 or so years ago when I put this together [06:00] Mr_Sonoma: RAID is *not* a replacement for good backups, so you are right in your "feeling". [06:00] i don't know how raid 5 works... afaik... do it split files across different physical devices? [06:00] raid is not designed for backup [06:01] is designed for redundancy or performance or both [06:01] crux000: yea i know what your saying...again sorry i couldn't help you've just hit one of those areas that i've not messed with alot so don't feel confident enough to try and guide anyone through a issue (i'd probably make it worse!) [06:01] Mr_Sonoma: I've already done plenty of that, I think. :) Helped along by a power outage this afternoon... Murphy is out to get me. [06:02] cablop: Yup. And .. the redundancy means that I *might* be able to scrape some data out of this POS setup :) [06:02] cablop: yes i know but certain arrays are supposed to be set up to where if one disk fails no data is lost. correct me if i'm wrong on that one...i cant remember what level raid that is though [06:02] well, that redundancy is ok for me just when i lost a physical drive [06:03] i'm willing to test just raid1 in my old computer [06:03] that could work as a performance cheap backup [06:03] but not a real one [06:04] thune3: oooh... that could work. That posts says -c does a checksum compare which would be much more helpful [06:04] Mr_Sonoma: RAID 2 and 5 are the most common w/ redundancy [06:04] i figure unless murphey just wants to ruin my whole year i'm not loosing 2 hard drives on 2 computers on the SAME DAY. [06:04] i think, what you can do is to check some online raid5 recovery guidesm read them twice and expect to recover those files slowly slowly [06:04] but [06:04] it's better safe than hurry [06:05] raid 0 is a striped array for speed raid 1 is a mirror - raid 5 is a mirror with parity [06:05] all of those are technilcally not great for safety [06:05] thune3: bugger, thinking about it though, it'd need rsync, which might not be available on the other side :( [06:05] EspadaV8_W: but a checksum would require downloading the file to run the checksum. (just not saving it) [06:05] obviously raid 0 is not - but you really need a raid 6 - four drives - so two can fail and still be safe [06:06] crux000: well, according to wikipdia you can reconstruct the information if only one drive is missing [06:06] if you want to go sheap you can go raid 1 mirror - but a crash or dead drive could corrupt data across the good drive as well [06:06] cablop: I'm a bit ... deeper than that. [06:06] thune3: i might have to mount ftp and just run diff like that [06:06] cablop: Was in the middle of a successful reconstruction + backup with just one drive down and out [06:06] although it'll be just as slow [06:06] grrr [06:07] cablop: Then had some corruption on a 2nd drive due to a ubuntu/linux/WTF bug. [06:07] cablop: (a LiveCD decided to use one of the raid volumes as swap!!!! ) === mgcc__ is now known as mgcc [06:07] LinuxFrustrated: http://www.miracleas.com/BAARF/BAARF2.html [06:08] crux000: yes i remembered you tolod that a few hours ago [06:08] oh crap! you were in here earlier asking about that.............i remember now [06:08] Yeah. Got bug reported, now trying to deal with the pieces. [06:08] crux000: you are in a very hard situation, and... well, s**t happens... ;S [06:08] Current plan: force the system to think all the drives are nice and intact and do a dump, however corrupted, from there. I'm pretty sure most of the 'wrong bits' are limited to the first few sectors of the drives [06:09] EspadaV8_W: without the checksum, the -rvn --delete options, would use timestamps and filesizes (if your local timestamps match), to give you a basic idea. [06:09] well, in your case and if i can get a second disk i would make a partition sector to sector copy and then try what your going to try [06:10] (bbiab, phone) [06:11] thune3: i'm not sure that timestamps are preserved on all the servers we upload to [06:11] (there are lots of random servers that we don't manage) [06:13] there are currently 1337 people awesome === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer [06:14] and 1 operator [06:14] hello, neither vlc not mplayer or playing any file. They give the error that unable to open the shared library xxxx even even when it is present [06:15] Okay -- Question: I installed the ATI graphics card support for my laptop and then it wouldn't let me boot up - so in shell I purged it. So I rebooted the computer and it got passed the splash screen but then it was just a blank screen (but back lit... but nothing there) [06:15] So I booted into failsafe graphics mode, and it let me on... but I didn't need failsafe graphics before I had my graphics card driver [06:15] jamil_1: start up a Terminal, do a "ldd /usr/bin/mplayer". See if your library turns up in that listing. [06:16] not sure what the binary for vlc is actually called, but I'd suggest ldd'ing that too. [06:17] does ubuntu support acl? [06:17] cablop: 2nd disk + raw dumps of each member drive would be nice. [06:17] cablop: probably does, but you'd have to set it up. I don't know anything about ACLs. [06:18] certainly relevant to the selinux layer. [06:18] Viking667, give me a min [06:18] cablop: I'm somewhat $ and time limited, though ... would have to be a fairly large 2nd disk (~1.5 TB for all the raw images I think) [06:18] don't worry about me. I'm actually supposed to be doing about six other things at the moment, so I'll be a bit busy. [06:19] i think what i want doesn't exist :( [06:21] EspadaV8_W: what you're looking for iis a must for me also, sigh [06:21] i need that thing too [06:21] well, you just need WinSCP in he client side [06:21] I'm looking for a tool that can tell me the temp of my CPU and harddrive for Ubuntu, like http://www.piriform.com/speccy [06:21] it can do the job on the server [06:21] cablop: seems like a lot of webdevs need it [06:21] What are you looking for? Sorry I came in late [06:21] we want a tol that is able to send or retrieve changes from a remote server throught ftp [06:21] Bluh: conky [06:21] cablop: we currently use beyond compare 3 to do the upload/sync [06:22] but that just does an ftp download/checksum compare [06:22] not to download the whole thing, just the changes, also delete changed files and so on [06:22] cablop: what does winscp do? is that a ssh? [06:22] nope winscp is a ftp client, it's able to compare the local copy with the remote copy and synchronize both, uni or bidirectional [06:23] ah [06:23] cablop: rsync is what you want, probably. === Sup|Lobby is now known as Guest22031 [06:23] i found winscp missed a lot of changes [06:23] hence why i use BC3 now [06:24] BC3 has a command line tool, but only for windows [06:24] Maybe what you guys would like is murder [06:24] teamcoltra: excuse me? [06:24] and i can't use the GUI on the server [06:24] http://github.com/lg/murder [06:24] teamcoltra: you meant the twitter thing? [06:25] Yeah [06:25] Damn AMD!. I have integrated graphics in motherboard (690G/X1250) and there is no driver for Lucid/LTS anymore! Only open driver that is, like 3-4 times slower at 3D. Damn Amd/Ati. Let them Burn in hell. [06:25] EspadaV8_W: you can if you install x libs and use an ssh session with x forwarding [06:25] ActionParsnip: i want it automated though [06:25] i'm trying to set up a hudson/phing build system for our sites [06:25] since doing it manually is getting annoying [06:25] and there IS windblows driver, yeees, there is. Amd lost another customer as I see it.. [06:25] Nikolam: try the .bin file from nvidia.com or the nvidia vdpau ppa [06:26] EspadaV8_W, ooor what about a repository system like GIT [06:26] ActionParsnip, khm.. its ati/amd integrated graphics, not nvidia one.. [06:26] Nikolam: can you drop the emotional stuff, its not helpful [06:26] teamcoltra: yeah, that's something else i'm looking at [06:26] currently using svn but want to migrate over to git [06:26] Nikolam: then check the ati site [06:27] ActionParsnip, can you please read for a change what people is talking about before answering? [06:27] that won't be for a while yet though, so would like something to use as a stop-ga [06:27] Nikolam: my bad, check the ati site [06:27] I just told that ati/amd driver does not support Lucid. [06:28] Nikolam: then use karmic, its fully supported waaay into next year [06:28] do we need to install drivers for infrared in ubuntu? [06:28] i like svn, never tried git, and thinking why must i need to change my cvs? [06:28] ActionParsnip, no it is not. and that is not a solution. Only solution is proper support from Amd, and since it is not going to happen, I will buy Nvidia in the future. Simple. [06:28] cablop: if it works, don't fix it [06:28] CVS sucks :) svn ain't bad. Git hurt my head at first, now I think I like it but I'm not quite sure yet. [06:29] no no, murder is not what we want [06:29] maybe rsync? dunno how rsync works [06:29] nikolam: then pressure ati, I only buy nvidia due to fantastic support [06:29] Viking667, ldd /usr/bin/mplayer says xxx => not found [06:29] cablop: rsync syncs two directories, transferring only the differences. [06:29] hm. [06:29] !irda [06:29] Information about using IrDA interfaces under Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrdaHowto [06:30] cablop: it uses its own protocol but knows how to tunnel itself over SSH (like SCP = FTP over SSH sorta) [06:30] what shows for ls -l /lib/xxx ? [06:30] sorry, SFTP that is [06:30] and /usr/lib/xxx ? [06:30] ActionParsnip, I eill buy Nvidian in the future, too, also they have opensolaris drivers and amd does not. an I suppose more things (cuda etc) [06:30] would rsync let me slect what changes to propagate? [06:31] cablop: I believe it just does a full sync. [06:31] Nikolam: also seen too many issues with sis, trident and other stuff like that. Intel drivers work too but sometimes need xorg.conf to work nice [06:31] cablop: Are you dealing with text files? [06:31] and i find WinSCP is not missing changes, what you miust care is the times you use when you do [06:31] i deal with text, images and so on [06:32] i use for example for the followinf scenario [06:32] Viking667, it say not found. It may help that I am using mplayer from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [06:32] cablop: for folders with mostly text, meld is A++ awesome. [06:32] (if you want to compare two folders and cherry-pick the changes you want to sync) [06:32] Intel graphics drivers were always open as I understand, sorry they don´t do 3D GPU´s [06:32] i had a wordpress on server, then it upgraded a plugin, changing files and deleting others, also adding a few more, then i bring here just what had changed, and then i subversion the local copy [06:32] jamil_1: hm. [06:33] Nikolam: my crappy dell lappy has an intel chip and runs full compiz and games [06:33] (also, word of advice: ... might be worth using your source control's branching + tagging to create a "published"/"production" branch so you don't risk a misclick sending bad stuff to the server irrevocably) [06:33] so fast [06:33] ActionParsnip, yes, I also have one with intel, only thing is it always lacked 3d punch in integrated solutions. [06:34] but sometimes, i don't want to bring here the log files or some other small files i was going to delete, for example 50 language modules i don't want or need to backup, not either transfer, then i want to select what to sync here before startint the transfer [06:34] Nikolam: but it is a 3D chip, even if it is weak [06:34] cablop: You can --exclude= folders and files. [06:34] maybe lost. [06:35] ActionParsnip, well, yes, only think is that I see now amd vs nvidia battle from another ¨linux unsupported by Amd¨ perspective [06:35] cablop: In fact, you can even give it a text file listing of the files you want with --files-from= . [06:36] but that seems so rude... with WinSCP i just mark or unmark checkboxes then clicked next... [06:36] my blimming ati isn't supported by the "official" ATI drivers, so I'm stuck with the free ones supplied with xorg. [06:37] [GNOME 2.30.2] On my Ubuntu 10.04 computer /schemas/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/background/active=. What does "active=" mean? Who determines my background setting? [06:37] Nikolam: it is kinda, you just need the right combination of stuff which is pretty poor. Nvidia have supported linux for all the time I've been on it (started in 2000) so its all I use. The drivers can bring some issues thoough like hibernate wakeup giving black screens and low res boot splash but can be worked around [06:37] i don't know what to do, i have a semi-old computer, it's not too old, it can run win7 with aero enabled... but's a pain to work with it nowadays... i wanted to move to linux, but.... i'm afraid lucid will give me same performance isues and i'll end deleting a windows machine for nothing :( [06:37] also linux seems to have very very hard to use tools, not mentioning the REAL lack of professional tools for design [06:38] cablop: grsync? someone made a GUI for it. [06:38] Cablop: install karmic and use lubuntu if its lacking in resources [06:38] crux000: yes grsync exists [06:38] ActionParsnip, yes I know. i was just under soem kind of impression that amd changed its way of supporting Linux and get closed to Nvidia with support. It is just not true with older hardware (older then 1.5 year, if that is old) [06:38] !info grsync [06:38] grsync (source: grsync): GTK+ frontend for rsync. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.2-1 (lucid), package size 92 kB, installed size 520 kB [06:38] i'm not sure if the issue is resources... [06:38] cablop: the nice thing about text files is you set it up once. Just once. then you can reuse it... whereas you'll be checking boxes for the foreseeable future [06:38] ActionParsnip: it exists :) is it any good? :) [06:39] Nikolam: totally agree sir [06:39] crux000: well, the bad thing is i never sync same files, meaning sometimes i do want the logs, and not others, is a per case basis, not a routine :( [06:40] crux000: not used it, I understand rsync enough to do what I need so I use cli. Its good as it shows the command and you can copy it to use on other machines ;) [06:40] Anyone know how to build a time machine? [06:40] cablop: rsync is _very_ good about transferring only changes (e.g. it only transfers changes _within_ a file) ... maybe you could just sync everything? :) [06:40] Anyone know how to build a time machine? [06:40] bakingsoda: We read you the first time. [06:40] than why didnt anyone fuckin say anthing? [06:40] * lhx munches on some cheese. Nom nom nom nom nom nom. [06:41] bakingsoda: yes, I'm from the future. I told you last week in 2050 [06:41] send me back to 2005 [06:41] my god, a deja vu, something is changing in the matrix [06:41] bakingsoda: keep the language pg [06:41] screw u [06:41] bakingsoda: Because noone can answer your question? [06:41] bakingsoda: jawohl mein furher [06:41] !language | bakingsoda [06:41] bakingsoda: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:42] bakingsoda: i did a time machine in the future, but i changed something in the past so today i forgot how to make one [06:45] cablop: you're from the future?! [06:46] how do i make apt-get remove a package and not the packages that depend on it? [06:46] http://adsoftheworld.com/files/timetravel.jpg [06:46] illac: No, he would be from the future if he hadn't prevented himself from building a time machine. [06:47] DrMrHorse: Before I tell you, I'd like to know why (that's generally a very bad idea). [06:47] DrMrHorse: afaik, this is not possible, unless you replace the package [06:48] Jordan_U: im trying to replace gnome-mplayer with one copiled from source and checkinstalled, but lubuntu-desktop depends on it and wants to remove itself [06:48] !ubuntu-desktop | DrMrHorse [06:48] DrMrHorse: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [06:48] i find myself unwiling to replace my windows [06:48] sigh [06:49] where can i get a Ubuntu light ISO in its latest state? (don't care if it's a dev preview) [06:49] Jordan_U: if you remove lubuntu-desktop, wont that screw up my gdm? [06:49] DrMrHorse: No. [06:49] hmm [06:49] ty [06:50] DrMrHorse: You're welcome. [06:50] i'm checking what's making my windows slow... and it's firefox!!!! [06:51] firefox would render my linux unusable too [06:51] <_L30_> use swiftfox [06:51] and metacity /compiz is a s heavy as aero is! [06:51] but swiftfox makes plugins hard to be used [06:52] i really don't know what to do, i need to develop some websites, and lacking of ie will make my life harder [06:52] Beyecixramd: As I understand it, Ubuntu Light is Ubuntu hightly customized to match a given piece of hardware + the Unity interface. [06:53] do somebody here virtualboxed win7 with low requirements? [06:53] i think i can survive in linux that way [06:54] <_L30_> cablop: you can get the virtual image of windows xp [06:55] Jordan_U: yes, well, it's made by Canonical and stuff, but i can't find links to download it. Tried everything, any hits? [06:55] Beyecixramd: It's only available for OEMs. [06:56] cablop: Use ie4linux. [06:56] l30, you're right... i jkust liked win7 bso much when i was using it, but i don't need it's cool features in the vbox world === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [06:56] jpds, ie4linux is not a solution, i need to be able to test ie6 ie7 ie8 and ie9 , easy to do insalling ietester on windows [06:56] How would I get set permissions so that ALL USERS in group x can do nothing except for R/W files in their home directory? [06:57] Viking667, got it working from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9598669&postcount=1461 [06:58] jpds: no, it's not, afaik. Anyways, it's a FLOSS solution, so it should be downloadable, or at least compillable [06:59] ok, "al mal paso darle prisa" if i have to face the bad thing i have to do it now [07:01] Beyecixramd: The unity interfact is available, but even if the software is GPL'd they are only required to distribute source code to those they distribute binaries to. I'm not sure how I feel about the lack of transparency with Ubuntu Light but it's legal. [07:01] Beyecixramd: http://www.canonical.com/engineering-services/oem-services/why-ubuntu/products [07:01] Beyecixramd: "PC OEMs can get Ubuntu Light now." [07:01] Bluh: learn irc etiquette, dont pm without asking first [07:01] what are ya'll debating? [07:02] Macser: Sorry [07:02] when 40 users login to open ssh on ubuntu 10.04 server, it shows 'server refused connection' error [07:02] I can't seem to find where I installed Conky >.< [07:02] Bluh: i cant help ya with conky, i dont use it [07:04] How would I get set permissions so that ALL USERS in group x can do nothing except for R/W files in their home directory? [07:05] jpds: it doesn't say "only PC OEMs" [07:05] Tniffoc: each user to r/w only their home directory, or each group user r/w each group user's home dir [07:05] what is the easy way to create raid1 in an already running ubuntu? [07:06] Jordan_U: GPL forces publishers to publish source too. If they don't do directly, they should provide sources on demand (eg: if you email them) failure to do so turns the license invalid, and the software itself, illegal [07:06] can you still change the login theme on ubuntu 10.04 ? [07:06] lhx: I want them only to be able to r/w to THEIR OWN home directory. I'm running a family web server. I don't want "sally" editing /home/mark/public_html etc... etc... [07:06] How do I get my .EXEs to have icons with Wine? [07:07] when 40 users login to open ssh on ubuntu 10.04 server, it shows 'server refused connection' error [07:07] Beyecixramd: Please study the details, source only needs to be distributed to those that the resulting binary was distributed to. [07:08] localgtl: maybe the router reached its max number of connections, or the server itself [07:08] Jordan_U: well, i know that [07:08] Tniffoc: isn't that the default behavior? [07:08] (I don't have an ubunut insall up and runnign right now) [07:08] umm. I never thought of that.... lemme check [07:09] lhx: well I'm running debian [07:09] but its the same. :D [07:09] Tniffoc: i mean, they'll be able to r/w any other files out there that have the Y in the XXY of permissions set to where they can read [07:09] Tniffoc: i mean r/w [07:10] Crash210: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225194 [07:10] beyecixramb: no it can't be. The server is high end. Earlier on an old pc running ubuntu desktop 8.04, 80 users used to login at a tim [07:10] Tniffoc: i'd just go read about chmod, chgrp, chown using the 'man' command [07:10] localgtl: not saying it has hardware limitations, but maybe it has software issues [07:11] hie every one [07:11] localgtl: by the way, type beye and then press tab for autocomplete [07:11] Hi sravs [07:11] hey guys [07:12] Hi | love_ [07:12] Tniffoc: i believe that disabling "all users"/"other users" permission on /home/mark will do what you want. chmod 750 /home/mark [07:12] does anyone know the best file-searching tool in ubuntu ? [07:12] beyecixramb: i looked int ssh_config, but there is nothing about user limit. okay i'll try your advice. [07:12] o2oo: "locate" ? [07:12] O2oo: there is no best app for anything in ubuntu [07:12] thune3: Well I need this to happen automatically. I mean I have a script creating the users.... in large numbers... [07:13] O2oo: there is no best anything in life === Slix`` is now known as Slix` [07:13] Tniffoc: then you need a script that runs a "chmod ~/ 750" [07:13] Tniffoc: or something like that [07:13] O2oo: there's find, locate, beagle, nautilus has a search tool too [07:14] nautilus is very simple [07:14] too simple [07:14] beyecixramb: on forums its said open ssh allows only 10 users at a time to login, but it can be changed by modifying ss_config, but there is no specific mention about ti in the file [07:14] I want professional search tool [07:14] thune3: quickie. Would it be safe to do "chmod -R o-rwx" and "chmod -R g-rwx" [07:14] on "/" [07:14] O2oo: there are many search tools. For some the nautilus search is professional. Maybe if you identify your needs we can give more exact examples [07:15] o2oo: type "man find" in your terminal [07:15] Tniffoc: it's just the top level. sudo o2oo> I want professional search tool [07:15] o2oo: Use: locate. [07:15] I would try the ones you just tell me. thanks!! [07:15] Tniffoc: oops, paste fail. i *think* you only need to change the top level dir /home/mark /home/sally, that you don't need to recurse [07:15] O2oo: find is pretty professional but you will need to learn some basic syntax, you can pipe the files into all sorts of other commands to get fantastic power === mike is now known as Guest33617 [07:16] thune3: well basically, I'm worried that I've set some odd permissions durring my install process [07:16] so I need to set them ALL back to only root [07:16] the exact tool I need is like "searchmonkey" does. But it often goes wrong and auto-exit. [07:17] Tniffoc: use a recurseive chmod command on all of "/home/*" [07:17] Any chance I can get help with getting games like Quake Live, or TileRacer to run and not crash my system? [07:18] lhx: but then what if the user runs say /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [07:18] Tniffoc: that will reset EVERY file and directory to whatever you tell it to in the home directory [07:18] O2oo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FindingFiles [07:18] Tniffoc: go to init.d and do a "ls -l" and then tell us what the permissions are on it [07:19] Tniffoc: i seriously doubt that anyone can execute in init.d [07:19] Maple12: can you reset the x server after the crash? [07:19] Tniffoc: remember first number = root, 2nd number = group, 3rd number = anyone [07:19] Tniffoc: for chmod commands [07:19] lhx: yes. by default. but I'm retarded. and did "chmod +rwx" on some stuff while installing [07:19] Lhx: first number = owner [07:20] ActionParsnip: srry [07:20] ActionParsnip: you're totally right [07:20] Np ;) [07:20] ActionParsnip: No. It just crashes to a GRUB like screen, and after a bit, blinks like random lines... [07:20] a friend of mine just installed skype on a livecd installation from the directions given at http://linux.dipin.info/2010/01/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-1004.html - it completed without errors. she says skype does not appear on the applications->internet menu - so how do i tell if it actually loaded? i am advising her from remote. [07:20] Tniffoc: if you've borked your permissions that much, why not backup your home dirs and reinstall? [07:21] Maple12: ok, can you pres alt+ f keys (might be f7,try them all) to get back to desktop? Does ctrl+c do anything? [07:21] Maple12: can you ssh in when it crashes (from another pc) [07:21] I'm not sure. I'd have to try one of the games that crash. It's mostly all 3D games [07:22] I'm not sure about the ssh thing [07:22] Maple12: do you have 3D accelleration? [07:22] I should... Unless the current Intel chipset isn't able to support 3D accel on Ubuntu [07:23] Beyecixramd: you mean this one?? http://u-lite.org/content/get-u-lite#cd [07:23] can someone tell me why the adduser command isn't working for me? I'm having syntax problems. Here's what I'm trying to do. [07:23] adduser -D -c 'comment goes here' -e '2010-10-10' -g 'groupName' -p 'password' -u '901' 'userName' [07:23] ActionParsnip, thanks! [07:23] Maple12: intel make many video chips. Maybe there is a bug in the driver for yours [07:23] <_L30_> blitzo: make a menu entry [07:24] Well, I noticed when getting help for games like Skulltag that use OpenGL, the MESA drives also crash my system [07:24] O2oo: remember, there is no best anything. There is only what you like [07:24] that was after downloading the MESA-dev files [07:24] MaRk-I: no, U-lite/Ubuntu Lite and Ubuntu Light are two things totally different, you can't even compare them [07:24] totally different things* [07:25] is that like an instant on? [07:25] Maple12: you could try the xorg edgers ppa, its highly experimental and may give issues but keep it on the back burner as a last ditch attempt [07:25] ActionParsnip, have you used searchmonkey? it's very good but easy auto-exit [07:25] O2oo: I use find. Its awesome [07:26] Well, i was explained that Intel chipsets put power on the CPU rather than the GPU [07:26] Mark-i: xpud boots fast but is slightly more limited than ubuntu. Can you expand your question [07:27] O2oo: with find (for example) I can search my home folder for jpg files over 2mb in size and make a thumbnail of it in a thumbnails folder [07:27] ActionParsnip: nvm it was about ubuntu light. [07:28] Is ulite supported here? [07:29] I was told to install libglu-mesa-dev in the Software Center so that OpenGL would work. I tried it on an OpenGL-based game, and it gave me that GRUB crash. [07:29] MaRk-I: instant on... not at all. Takes 7 seconds on SSDs [07:30] MaRk-I: xPUD is slightly faster than Ubuntu Light, tho [07:30] Beyecixramd: that's pretty instant in my book [07:30] ActionParsnip: instant for me, 3 secs, or less [07:30] :P [07:30] Beyecixramd: boots in 3 seconds on pata hdd with 2gb ram and a 1.6ghz cpu [07:30] Not fully sure if this is the place to ask this, but I might as well shoot. I'm trying to compile some C programs, namely ncurses. After struggling and thinking that I was missing an installed library and installing all of the ncurses-related packages, I found a larger problem: GCC, netbeans, ld etc don't know where to find the header or library files! what do I do to fix it? [07:31] ActionParsnip: what? U Light? [07:31] Beyecixramd: no, xpud [07:31] ActionParsnip: oh, yeah [07:31] ActionParsnip: xPUD is fast, pretty instant, not Light [07:31] <_L30_> my ubuntu doesnt start [07:31] <_L30_> dont know what are the issues [07:32] does anyone here know anything about Bash syntax? If yes, I have a question about the adduser command that reading the manpage doesn't seem to solve. [07:32] _L30_: lol could you be more descriptive please? [07:32] Xpud is a tiny iso, very light [07:32] <_L30_> i get a login screen then after i enter the details i get the same login screen [07:32] Beyecixramd: basically it's just a DE, "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" [07:32] !give NPFTM ask [07:32] * Daughain gives NPFTM a 10mbit network card [07:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:32] * roved2101 gives NPFTM a china ornament [07:32] shat [07:33] this syntax isn't working: adduser -D -c 'comment goes here' -e '2010-10-10' -g 'groupName' -p 'password' -u '901' 'userName' [07:33] _L30_:You wouldn't happen to be attempting to run it in KDE or Xtrem right? [07:33] <_L30_> nope [07:33] NPFTM: maybe it's an older version. Try tunning adduser, without any syntax, and continue the tutorial [07:33] running* [07:33] Have you tried reinstalling Ubuntu? [07:34] <_L30_> Maple12: it worked earlier [07:34] beyecixramb: I solved it. in sshd_conf I changed 'MaxStartups from 10:30:60 to 100:300:600, and I guess it works [07:34] _L30_: sorry, but that's pretty useless here [07:34] <_L30_> so you mean i have to reinstall it [07:34] localgtl: glad you figured it out :) [07:34] <_L30_> no way of getting my things back? [07:34] how do i prevent ubuntu loading a module in the future? [07:34] _L30_: again, could you be more descriptive? [07:35] _L30_: for example, do you see plymouth? does GRUB load? etc [07:35] _L30_: Possibly, you downloaded a file that screwed your login up. I extremely suggest either clean install, or try using a dual-boot to back your files up [07:35] beyecixramb: Thanks for the help. [07:35] localgtl: you're welcome :) [07:35] <_L30_> yes everything loads i get the login screnn ....i enter the credentials it blinks and i get the same login screen again [07:36] _L30_: see? you could've said that. Try logging into a TTY [07:36] @Beyecixramd: I'm actually using this command on Fedora 13 and for a school project that I'd like to turn in tomorrow when I get into school. I only asked here because the Fedora IRC networks aren't very busy this time of day. [07:36] can someone tell me the apt-get options to completely remove a package? [07:37] NPFTM: errr... Fedora IRC networks... lol what a joke (personal issues, nothing related to you) [07:37] <_L30_> yes i logged into tty and tried startx there [07:37] blitzo: --purge [07:37] _L30_: remove .xsession from your $HOME [07:37] blitzo sudo apt-get remove --purge packageName [07:37] <_L30_> i gett a fatal error server already active at 0 [07:37] _L30_: and any other dot FILES in $HOME, preferably, not folders, just files [07:38] blitzo that include configuration files.... [07:38] iflema thx [07:38] _L30_: i have an idea. do sudo init 3 and then, log in with your user, then do sudo init 5 [07:39] @Beyecixramd: I've noticed that the Fedora versions of many of the Bash/GNU utilities aren't as user friendly as the Ubuntu versions. I was doing some other stuff and Fedora doesn't install Wget by default! They also use Vi instead of Vim. You don't realize how user friendly Ubuntu is until you use Fedora. [07:39] <_L30_> sudo init 3 nothing happens [07:40] NPFTM: totally agreed.... in fact, Fedora's GNOME is not standards compilant :P [07:40] I thought that Wget was pretty much apart of the Unix standards base that all systems included by default. [07:40] _L30_: yes it does. It killed your X [07:40] NPFTM: note that i love Fedora, but there are issues i just can't understand... [07:41] NPFTM: they have cutting edginess, but not user friendliness [07:42] @Beyecixramd: I find it weird that Ubuntu is consitered the newb distro when it seems to include more CLI apps by default than Ubuntu does. Or, at least the CLI apps that I've tried to use. They don't have Nano either. [07:42] *than Fedora does. [07:42] I installed proprietary Alsa Driver [07:42] what does the Utilits and Library do [07:43] well, I guess since nobody can answer my question I'm going to try the Fedora Forums. [07:43] NPFTM: nevermind. Ubuntu ships more CLI because they make a better selection of packages to include in Fedora [07:43] than* [07:43] I installed proprietary Alsa Driver [07:44] what does the Utilits and Library do [07:44] ? [07:44] NPFTM: i didn't undertand your post [07:44] you said ubuntu twice [07:44] library is needed for programs to work [07:44] lhx: he fixed it later [07:44] lol... that he did [07:44] zzzz [07:44] john38: utilities bring you a volume controller, among other stuff [07:44] my game as sound music loop [07:44] <_L30_> Beyecixramd: no more . files in home [07:45] has [07:45] _L30_: you haven't removed dot folders, have you? [07:45] Has anyone had trouble loading Ubuntu 10.4? [07:45] !ask [07:45] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:45] <_L30_> there werent any [07:45] _L30_: yes they were... there had to be [07:45] what kind of trouble gene? [07:45] _L30_: you save your settings there [07:46] grill, seems the power gnome doesnt load right [07:46] gene: power gnome? [07:47] Hii can anyone help me with installing libgtk2.0-dev on Lucid [07:47] I am getting the following error...http://pastebin.com/vpZym7xW [07:48] not sure.... I downloaded the beta release of 10.04, which at the time was glitchy [07:48] after installing all the updates things seem to run smoothly [07:48] grilledcheese: wha? beta to stable through updates, is that possible? [07:49] Hello all [07:49] hi RobbieThe1st [07:49] idk... but things seem to have become less glitchy over the past few updates [07:50] by glitchy I guess I mean panel items and menu's would not function and/or sometimes disappear [07:50] well, it's beta software, what did you expect [07:51] I had the same problem trying to load Mint [07:51] nothing more... [07:51] at least this isn't Microsoft *ahem*Longhorn*ahem* [07:51] grilledcheese just install latest lucid 10.04 [07:51] just was really excited about checking it out [07:51] the updates have basically fixed it [07:51] john38: he just said the system is not glitchy anymore :| [07:52] got that [07:52] hi - i can not define a second workspace inside the ubuntu 10.04/gnome panel (workspace switcher) [07:52] we just installed skype but it doesn't show up on a menu - (A) how do i verify it installed correctly and (B) how do i add it to a menu [07:52] odb|fidel: right click it, and hit settings, you should be able to [07:52] Beyecixramd: no i'm not - value jumps back to 1 [07:53] I dont understand my wine games were working perfectly before now they have glitches [07:53] blitzo: open up a terminal and type in skype, if it loads, you have installed it [07:53] i even reinstalled linux [07:53] seems t obe a bug - i already found another user mentioning this issue in 10.04 [07:53] bedtime [07:53] odb|fidel: maybe because of Compiz, install ccsm (Compiz Configuration Settings Manager iirc) [07:53] Beyecixramd: to be honest - i had 4 defined some days ago - working - now its broken again [07:53] john38: maybe Wine changed something [07:54] Probably [07:54] probably [07:54] Beyecixramd: i doubt its compiz - running ubuntu in a vm here - so not focusing on eye-candy at all [07:54] one of the updates [07:54] maybe [07:54] odb|fidel: wow that's really weird :| [07:54] Beyecixramd: yes it is ;) [07:54] maybe if i reinstall linux without updates [07:54] Just so you know, if wine was -running- more or less allright, re-installing probably won't help at all [07:54] it will work [07:54] john38: maybe if you use a development release... [07:54] No, just go find an older Wine version [07:55] Or yea, try a newer one === jeff_ is now known as Guest64717 [07:55] i did Robbietheiest [07:55] older or newer [07:55] get PlayOnLinux [07:55] its gotta be one of the updates [07:55] Or actually, a good fit for you might be to try the CrossoverGames demo [07:55] and manage those versions program-wise [07:55] from ubuntu repos [07:55] http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/ [07:55] Try it, if it works its probably worth a few $. If not, you are no worse off [07:56] Beyecixramd i use latest stable release [07:56] john38: exactly. Install a development (unstable) release [07:56] john38: for me, ALL dev releases have been working PERFECTLY, with no bugs whatsoever [07:56] i was using beta release wouldnt work [07:57] i tried 1.0.1 [07:57] john38: then try an older one [07:57] 1.0.28, 1.0.22 [07:57] no go [07:57] what about 1.2? [07:57] john38: what are your issues, exactly, tho? [07:57] thats what im using now [07:57] still has glitch [07:57] whats the glich? [07:58] when game starts it has sound music loop [07:58] cant start new game [07:58] john38: WHAT game [07:58] what game is it anyway? [07:58] Freelancer [07:58] john38: have you checked its compatibility in the WineDB? [07:58] what game ? [07:58] its silver. [07:58] yeah [07:58] what game is it ? [07:58] yeah it is siver [07:58] john38: what game ?. [07:59] lol able, Eventyret, he said Freelancer [07:59] thats not the point it was working 3 weeks ago [07:59] ahhh ok :) [07:59] Maby -that- was a glitch? [08:00] You know what? Go try CXGames. [08:00] http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=2125 [08:00] Powerboat [08:00] Its gold there [08:00] RobbieThe1st: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:00] i even reinstalled sound drivers [08:00] codeweaver suck [08:00] i mean i tried it glitchy [08:00] lol john38 [08:01] now i use playonlinux [08:01] Same glitch or different? [08:01] worse robbie [08:01] Playonlinux is just a wine frontend... [08:01] whats the new glitch? [08:01] playonlinux works fine [08:01] but in wine there is music loop [08:02] Which means it doesn't work fine. [08:02] no [08:02] Remember, the difference is going to be in configuration [08:02] only reason i use wine is to use advanced features [08:02] so my ubuntu boot screen pretty much looks like this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/clean-up-ubuntu-grub-boot-menu-after-upgrades/ [08:02] You are probably going to have to go google up a bunch of old forum posts about the error you get [08:03] i dont know exactly how to configure in playonlinux [08:03] do i need all the different linux kernel boot entries? [08:03] john38: POL is Wine, with a frontend, for god's sake [08:03] or can i remove them? [08:03] teemo: no, but keep the two most recent ones, in case something goes wrong [08:03] if i run game on POL it works [08:03] if i run in wine it wont work [08:03] teemo: you can remove them, but theres a better way than just deleting them [08:03] teemo: those entries are just backups, they don't take up any space, well, they do, but little space... [08:04] simple question: is there any tool that flips endianness for a file?? [08:04] john38: have you installed the game using the POL specifid installer, for the game? [08:04] mikeru: endia whut? [08:04] how you would normally install [08:04] mikeru: DD will do it [08:04] RobbieThe1st: whats the better way? [08:04] john38: install > select from the list [08:04] yes yes [08:04] install then lest [08:04] list [08:04] john38: or install > install manually, there are two ways [08:05] RobbieThe1st: ORLY? D: can't believe dd does those kinds of things... [08:05] teemo: Edit that menu.lst file, find the line "# howmeny=" [08:05] the game is on list [08:05] john38: that's why it works, it has specific patches applied [08:05] dd does -everything- file-wise. Look up the man-page, there's a convert option [08:05] teemo: change that to say, 2, and -then- remove the extra entries. [08:06] When the next update happens, it will -keep- only 2, vs regenerating them all [08:06] wine did something to not make freelancer work [08:06] john38: no, Wine didn't do anything, POL did something to make it work, which is quite different [08:07] teemo: if you don't edit that howmeny variable, you will have to edit that menu.lst file every update [08:07] no freelancer worked on pol all along [08:07] john38: btw, to configure Wine in POL, right click the app and select configure [08:07] im using the command: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and my menu.lst is empty?! [08:07] but then the game wont work on wine [08:07] teemo: menu.lst is not longer used. [08:07] RobbieThe1st: swab= [08:08] yeah i dont know exactly how to do that [08:08] mikeru: "conv=swab" [08:09] update wine prefix, configure wine simualte windows reboot set icon [08:09] john38: how to do what? rigght click? [08:09] "configure wine" [08:09] obviously [08:09] there really isnt much to do [08:09] add progarm [08:09] john38: what else did you want?! [08:09] RobbieThe1st: (I was asking you if "swab?") but how do I choose how many bytes? It only "swab"s 2 bytes, I want 4 [08:09] audio grahics [08:09] um... [08:09] jpds: what is the file then? [08:10] john38: i mean, what were reffering you to when you said "i don't know how to configure Wine in POL" [08:10] teemo: /etc/default/grub probably [08:10] for a sec i got exicited [08:10] but the Audio is using the Alsa Driver [08:11] mikeru: let me check... === jofo_ is now known as jofo [08:11] maybe i did something before to make it work === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [08:12] what does the application tab do [08:12] i've added the game [08:13] then it goes dissappears === ShadowFoxeBiH is now known as ShadowFoxBiH [08:13] /ns register <200910abc> [08:13] Mikeru: Why not make a script that chops the input file into segments of 4 bytes, then flips each pair? I know it can be done in PHP or Python, and you could probably do it with string functions in a shell-script [08:13] i dont think configuring wine is the problem [08:13] i have a newish HP laptop that works fine with win7 but crashes under ubuntu and under wubi - i have no idea how to troubleshoot it - where do i begin? [08:13] hi [08:14] blitzo: Where does it crash? [08:14] john38: you don't need to apps in there, leave that empty [08:14] RobbieThe1st: I actually made a C program, but it sucked and deleted it. [08:14] Hey, I just typed some random key combination by accident and it moved my browser over to a seperate desktop. How do I move it back? [08:14] dean[w]: you mean, Ctrl-Alt-ArrowKey [08:14] ? [08:14] dean[w]: press Ctrl + Alt + Left, or Right [08:14] thanks :) [08:14] why do something computers reject linux is it chipset [08:15] some [08:15] Beyecixramd, that switches desktop [08:15] i want to move the program back on to the other desktop [08:15] RobbieThe1st at various points. we sucessfully installed ubuntu on it twice but it kept crashing when doing apt-get update/upgrade. now it it won't even install completely. we got it up on the livecd but when running a find it crashed again. so i would say at arndom places. when it crashes it hangs completely, no console [08:15] dean[w]: yeah, right click the title bar and select move to desktop x [08:15] john: I think its mainly PEBCAK [08:15] dean[w]: you see on bottom right your desktops? [08:15] Pebcak? [08:16] blitzo: Have you googled the machine's model number + linux? [08:16] dean[w]: just click the one where firefox is and drag it to the first one [08:16] RobbieThe1st: I disagree, there are many legitimate issues with hardware. [08:16] john: Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard. [08:16] RobbieThe1st: I found this, http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/dd-wrt/browser/redboot/tools/byteswap.c. [08:16] no [08:16] Jordan: Yes, but usually, they aren't things that totally screw things up - stull like Network drivers, yes. [08:16] But a network driver does not make a machine [08:17] RobbieThe1st: hopefully it works on something that's not a router... [08:17] i mean on an old computer cd-rom wont extract all base [08:17] MaRk-I, that doesn't work. [08:17] but on this computer it worked fine [08:17] I'm trying it with chrome and there's no option to move to the left/right workspace [08:17] dean[w]: do what i told you [08:17] and dragging it to the bottom right doesn't do anything [08:17] blitzo: Whats the model? [08:17] dean[w]: then click the icon on the taskbar [08:18] RobbieThe1st yes and there's nothing but adverts [08:18] Beyecixramd, clicking the taskbar worked. thanks [08:18] you can't right click the titlebar in chrome :) [08:18] whats the model? [08:18] RobbieThe1st it is a dv73060us HP [08:18] dean[w]: Right click on the title bar of the browser and select the move to another workspace [08:18] dean[w]: does work otherwise click firefox's top window and select "move to another workspace" [08:18] MaRk-I, im using chrome. not firefox [08:18] aneesh1: since he uses Chrome, he can't click the title bar [08:19] There's an option to use system title bar though [08:19] aneesh1: the menu that brings up a right click is the Chrome's one, no the Metacity's one === Kravl1n is now known as kravlin [08:19] HM... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/hp-pavilion-dv7-1020us-anyone-tried-to-install-661871/ [08:19] see post #3 [08:21] RobbieThe1st that is a different model [08:21] But the same series, potentially the same problem [08:21] is there a reason why irssi does not save my /set info in terminal oO ? [08:21] RobbieThe1st HP has a zillion models and they all have different components [08:22] Not so sure about that - Processors / ram / gpu, yes, but what about the underlying chips? [08:22] Eventyret: If you change options in a session, you need to /save for them to be written to the config file [08:22] Flannel: oh thanks :) [08:22] <[d-_-b]> http://www.rankedhard.com/tweet-tweet-a-marketing-feast.php [08:22] aand [08:22] http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv7-3060us [08:23] RobbieThe1st i have looked into this before - please trust me that i am familiar with hp laptops [08:23] Fair enough [08:23] that there is the same exact model though [08:23] RobbieThe1st insult to injury hp will not tell the customer what compnents any particular laptop has, you gotta do some real digging to find out [08:24] blitzo: Have you checked the system log? [08:24] Like, as far as you can get it running? [08:25] RobbieThe1st i misread it - he says he is going to try suse on it but he never said whether it worked or not. i am trying to get ubuntu up on it [08:25] http://packages.medibuntu.org/lucid/googleearth.html google earth for ubuntu 10.04 [08:26] blitzo: you can also try "pci=noacpi" in your boot options - see if that makes the liveCD notcrash [08:26] RobbieThe1st yes i have looked at the system logs and found no errors or nothing remarkable [08:26] Is there a way to have Deluge shutdown after a torrent is through downloading ? ? [08:26] RobbieThe1st ok, what does that do [08:26] disables ACPI I believe [08:27] so things like sleep mode won't work [08:27] RobbieThe1st what is acpi [08:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface [08:27] RobbieThe1st is this a common problem? [08:27] Or is there a way to set the computer to shutdown at a certain time ? ? [08:27] I don't know if I'm in the correct place to ask this, but maybe if I'm not, someone can direct to a more appropriate channel. I'm upgrading from 9.10 netbook to 10.04 using the update provided under the Update Manager. If I did this, would the 10.04 version I got be the netbook one? Also, would I lose any of my data? I'm assuming it's just an update and doesn't format anything, but I figured I'd ask before going throu [08:27] gh with something. [08:28] I've seen a lot of issues regarding ACPI causing one problem or another in widely varied systems [08:28] mxe5: shutdown --help [08:28] But it can't hurt to try [08:28] Where is the configuration for autostarting apps on USB-mounts stored? Or how do I change that? [08:28] RobbieThe1st ok how do i feed that option to grub? i haven't done the ubuntu boot enough times to visualize it. (i am advising my friend from remote so i have to explain it to her) [08:28] mxe5: like shutdown -P 30m will shutdown in 30 mins [08:28] alex88: Thanks [08:28] np [08:29] hello, i just created a new mount point with "sudo mkdir /media/raid" and mounted a device there (with fstab). but it seems like i don't have permissions to write to it... what is the correct way to set those permissions so that my user account can read/write there? [08:29] I just had the page up... I think its something like you hit escape, and can edit things from there [08:29] isdepopecath: Yes it would stay the netbook interface, no you will not lose any data. === chazz_ is now known as chazz [08:29] but... [08:29] alex88: what would it be for say 1hr and 30mins? [08:29] Jordan_U: thanks very much [08:30] isdepopecath: You're welcome. [08:30] mxe5: dunno if you can use h and mins.. if you know exact time just put 14:30 else use 90m [08:30] RobbieThe1st i need to know what is on the screen at the time you hit escape so i can explain it to my friend [08:30] alex88: shutdown -P 90m [08:30] mxe5: right [08:30] It would be the GRUB boot screen [08:30] but, wait a sec [08:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [08:31] RobbieThe1st i need you to be explicit, what is the grub screen, what does it look like, what's on it? help me to see a picture of it in my mind [08:31] Look there [08:31] alex88: Cool - I got it - Early day tomorrow and don't want to wait for deluge to finish or keep running, THanks [08:31] blitzo: Just a second and I'll make you a set of screenshots. [08:32] I'm gonna go play TF2(on Wine, of course) - If anyone really needs my help, PM me. I'll answer. [08:32] alex88: Will that shell force quit any apps running as well and just shutdown ? Do I need to run the shell as - sudo ? === RobbieThe1st is now known as Robbie[Gaming] [08:33] jordan_u the page robbie posted should work [08:33] hello, i just created a new mount point with "sudo mkdir /media/raid" and mounted a device there (with fstab). but it seems like i don't have permissions to write to it... what is the correct way to set those permissions so that my user account can read/write there? [08:34] mrpinky: sudo *command* [08:34] mxe5: sudo for sure... dunno if it forces everything to stop..but i think the shutdown script will do.. [08:34] !away | Robbie[Gaming] [08:34] Robbie[Gaming]: You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [08:34] alex88: Okay give it a try - thanks [08:34] Robbie[Gaming], should i set the permissions on the mount point directory i created? (i guess it is impossible to set permissions on a device) [08:34] mxe5: np, glad to help [08:35] Jordan: That was more a note to Blitzo, who I was helping than anything else... [08:35] anybody know how to kill the pulseaudio daemon [08:35] mrpinky: you shouldn't have to [08:35] john: try "sudo service pulseaudio restart" to restart it [08:36] is it killed now [08:36] PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions [08:37] mrpinky: you could make a dir on the device with sudo, and give that directory permissions for the user. Or i *think* you can set device permissions on "." after cding inside the mounted device. [08:38] Robbie[Gaming] is it stoped now [08:38] Um, not if you used restart [08:38] you can try shutdown instead of restart in that last commadn [08:39] oh [08:39] thune3, i see that the permissions on the new mount point /media/raid are "drwxr-xr-x", which is the same as on my home directory, so it looks like the permissions are correct, but i still get "permission denied" when i try to cp files there. is there any other explanation? [08:39] i get the same message how do i know if its off [08:40] try hitting ctrl+esc, and searching for pulseaudio [08:41] nothing happends [08:42] how about pulseaudio --kill [08:42] but it will just restart [08:42] why not uninstall it if you really don't want it? [08:43] mrpinky: the first strategy would be: sudo mkdir /media/raid/mrpinky_stuff ; sudo chown mrpinky:mrpinky /media/raid/mrpinky_stuff [08:43] help needed [08:43] when I plug in an USB device with pictures, shotwell (photo app) starts up. Where do I change this behaviour in Ubuntu? [08:44] i have dual entry in my grub 2 pointing to same kernel ..am sending a copy of my boot.cfg file [08:44] [Ubuntu 10.04] '~$ ls -l /etc/gdm/custom.conf; -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2142 2009-04-03 10:25 /etc/gdm/custom.conf.' What package did provide this file? package.ubuntu.com does not find it. [08:44] s/package./packages/ [08:45] bullgard: gdm = gnome desktop manager? [08:45] thune3, ah chown solves it, thanks! [08:45] bullgard: gnome display manager* [08:45] illac: Your equation is correct. But it does not answer my question. [08:45] illac, gdm = gnome display manager [08:45] bullgard: what's in it? [08:46] illac: Your question is too short to comprehensible. [08:46] illac: Your question is too short to be comprehensible. [08:47] bullgard: maybe I misunderstood the question... you're asking what put the file there? [08:47] illac: Yes. This was my question. === sree is now known as sreR [08:47] bullgard: well I'm gonna guess Gnome [08:47] mrpinky: ok, you can add mount option uid=mrpinky,gid=mrpinky,mode=755 in the mount command (manually or in fstab) to do this automatically. [08:48] bullgard: or I'm still confused. [08:48] bullgard: one of the two [08:48] illac: I am sorry. I asked for a package. [08:49] bullgard: gdm. well, at least /usr/share/doc/gdm/examples/custom.conf and you probably copied it to /etc/gdm/custom.conf [08:50] mrpinky: actually what i just said is a bad idea as it sets every file in the filesystem to be owned by mrpinky. please disregard [08:50] joschi: in the file it says it's there as a fail over [08:50] bullgard: gdmsetup? === lag is now known as Guest73840 [08:51] mrpinky: whoops again, that gid/uid just sets root dir of filesystem and setuid/setgid sets all files. [08:51] bullgard: according to the comments in the file, that is the responsible party for that file [08:52] bullgard: # This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the [08:52] # GDM configuration. If you run gdmsetup, it will automatically edit this [08:52] # file for you and will cause the daemon and any running GDM GUI programs to [08:52] # automatically update with the new configuration. Not all configuration [08:52] illac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:52] # options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be [08:52] # necessary to modify this file directly by hand. [08:52] thune3, are either of those really necessary? when i chowned a file in the past, the ownership change seemed permanent (saved in the filesystem) independant of restarting. so i expect chowning the mount point (or a subdirectory) would work the same. one easy test would be to restart and see... [08:53] but thanks for the tips :) it has got me working [08:55] joschi: "[09:49] bullgard: gdm. well, at least /usr/share/doc/gdm/examples/custom.conf and you probably copied it to /etc/gdm/custom.conf" <-- The contents of the two files differ.

It is always the same file in the same dir, no matter how often I re-download the sourcecode (I have like 5 copies now) and re-run ./configure. It does not seem to be a bad sector, or else there should have been more or different files corrupted [09:21] right?

[10:31] Viking667: permission denied [10:31] teemo: Just so you know, those instructions on "how-to-geek" are terrible and that guy should be ashamed for encouraging people to edit grub using that method [10:31] oh just a sec [10:31] ader10: so were you saying before that you can't run "/etc/init.d/samba restart" ? [10:31] yeah, sudo that one [10:31] samba-common-bin has already been installed [10:31] the warning at the top of /boot/grub/grub.cfg is there for a reason [10:31] ader10: good, good.

[11:08] im installing lubuntu on another pc, but its stays stuck at 89% (running dpkg).. also can move the cursor. is this normal? [11:08] ii: uninstall what?

[11:10] Kartagis, It's weird. Its with gedit. When ever I save a .php it changes the file type to php., I want it as text [11:10] then I'll need /etc/grub/40_custom [11:10] hi there?

[11:10] lol Viking667 [11:11] teemo: you can run synaptic, then do a "complete removal" of grub packages (wiping out /boot/grub) and then install grub-pc (grub 2). When you install grub-pc, it asks what partitions you want included in the grub menu. [11:11] I know you know the link... you've only typed it like nine times today.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:36] Diverdude: first get a pdf of the one page ( easiest way print to a pdf in evince) then use convert to turn it into a png [11:36] Diverdude yea.. screendhot works well :p [11:37] ubottu's friendly reminder takes more space than the question preambles.....

[11:39] Hello Ubuntu folks - having a little problem building some software (vpfit for fitting astronomical spoectra) on Ubuntu Lucid. The software looks for X libs in /usr/X11R6/lib, which obviously is obsolete - but where to look forthem then? I need to edit the makefile... [11:40] /usr/include/X11, maybe? [11:40] ,to turn off the computer when the downloads finish is there any program in linux? [11:41] madrid what program u use to download? [11:41] ii, in include/, not in lib/...? /me mystified [11:41] Diverdude: http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert/ [11:41] I have no idea :( however, you can just use dpkg to list the contents of different packages, including the X11 ones [11:42] shumara vuze drean mule ares and firefox ,chrome [11:42] in Synaptic, search for a pakcage, right click, properties, "installed files" [11:42] ....just in case you dontget an answer, you could find it yourself [11:42] mmmm! After the last round of updates, many services do not work any more because they do not start at boot time, for example (cups) and TOR. [11:42] also if youre looking for some specific file, run sudo updatedb [11:42] anyone with the same issue out there? [11:42] and find it using locate [11:43] madrid gshutdown [11:43] ct529: Doesn't Tor starts at session start? [11:43] nothing starts anymore, cups does not start, polipot does not start, tor does not start [11:43] thoeger: follow this http://astrophysics.wikidot.com/install-vpfit [11:43] thx all...i could just print it as .ps file and then use gimp to convert it to png and jpeg [11:43] thoeger: is for ubuntu 9.04 but should still work ? [11:44] erUSUL, thanks but I tried and it didn't work. Odd, since it did on another machine (different architecture) a couple of months ago [11:44] Misterio: nothing starts anymore, cups does not start, polipot does not start, tor does not start (sorry forgot to add you nick) [11:44] Q[10.04]: I pressed shift when system boot, and it shows "grub loading", after that, it enters a blank screen with a blinking cursor, what's the problem here? [11:45] skumara, ok I'll try it [11:45] ct529: Ah, don't worry; And what update did you install? [11:45] thoeger: what is the error you get ? [11:45] johnnylee194: well I assumed grub was smart enough not to hide the menu if you're manually telling it to display the menu..... [11:45] guys.. please find my sudo fdisk -l .... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/465856/ .. my question is it possible to delete the solaris parition so that ubuntu can start using that partition? [11:45] Misterio: I just automatically installed the bugfix and security updates [11:46] erUSUL, hang on I'll try and find the first one in the output [11:46] johnnylee194: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [11:46] ct529: Synaptic has remove/install/update history, could you check it please? [11:46] Jordan_U he doesn't have root [11:46] he removed himself from sudoers accidentally [11:46] Sound is very low in ubuntu ,can't even hear some songs .Whats the problem .I am using ubuntu jaunty and kernel 2.6.34.1 [11:46] cage_raphel: instead of removing it just reformat it and mount it somewhere .... [11:47] erUSUL: how do i do that ? [11:47] yes.. [11:47] Misterio: interesting, I did not know, I most of time use dpkg / *pt-get install [11:47] cage_raphel: with gparted ? [11:47] Misterio: how do I look at the history in synaptic? [11:47] hey all, just installed new 80G SATA HD and I want to know how to add the extra space to /Home. ? [11:47] erUSUL: i have opened my gparted now.. could u pls walk me thro.. i am a total linux newbie :) [11:47] ct529: I am not under gnome right now but; first tab, history [11:47] !separatehome | Gabriel [11:47] Gabriel: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [11:48] johnnylee194: Can you boot a LiveCD? [11:48] @Joardan_U: not today, didn't take the LiveCD with me.. :( [11:48] cage_raphel: well; gparted should be pretty self explanatory. right click on the partition (sda1) and choose format ext4 [11:48] Lucid system-config-samba appears to be broken; http://pastie.org/1050224 anyone know a fix? [11:48] cage_raphel: all data in the partition will be lost [11:48] i used a 10.04 live cd to dd zero on a usb stick, after unmounting it, but it didn't zero it. cfdisk and fdisk still show the old fat16 partition. am i doing something wrong? [11:49] It's kinda wired, sometimes the normal boot failed as well, given me the endless blinking cursor screen... [11:49] ct529: Then pastebin the last log [11:49] Misterio: the history is libusb,linvte-common,libvte9 as last update [11:49] Ah okay [11:49] johnnylee194: when you DO get a liveCD, it's really easy to fix your permissions, just mount your disk and run sudo chroot /path/to/root/of/drive [11:49] erUSUL: i have done that .. its applying pending operations :) [11:50] smv: Did you zero the drive, like sdb, or the partition, like sdb1? Also, please be *VERY* carefull with dd. [11:50] @ii: okay.. I just want to see whether I could fix it today.. without the LiveCD.. but thanks anyway :) [11:50] erm but maybe you can just edit sudoers without chrooting, whatever. but ya, need root. [11:50] good luck! [11:50] erUSUL: its done.. now what should i do ? [11:50] leave [11:50] ct529: See [11:50] !info libvte9 [11:50] libvte9 (source: vte): Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ 2.0 - runtime files. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.23.5-0ubuntu1.1 (lucid), package size 540 kB, installed size 992 kB [11:50] cage_raphel: dunno; what do you want to use the partition for? i have data partitions mounted in /media/ [11:50] where can I download an archive of the default icons in ubuntu (gnome) ? [11:50] johnnylee194: Then maybe the blinking cursor is unrelated to holding shift, try holding shift and booting a few more times. [11:51] I do not really understand .... how do I set all the services to restart? [11:51] ct529: I think this isn't the problem [11:51] cage_raphel: for example for music/videos/etc [11:51] Misterio: it was after that last update [11:51] erUSUL: i have formated sda1 to ext4.. now i want my ubuntu to use that partition [11:51] erUSUL, here is my output [11:51] http://pastebin.org/404863 [11:51] @ii: I suppose recovery mode will give me a root window, and so I can solve my permission problem? [11:51] Jordan_U, i know how to use it. but i guess time it tricked me. seems like i used sda1 instead of sda. haha [11:51] * smv hides [11:52] @Jordan_U: Thanks, I'm trying... [11:52] Misterio: how do I set all the services to restart? I do not know much about upstart yet [11:52] ct529: I don'r know how to do, never had that problem. Anyways; if you /etc/init.d/service start and reboot? Is it saved? [11:52] thoeger: have you installed build-essebtials ? [11:52] holly~ entered recovery mode and see the lovely root shell :D [11:52] Hi .. in centos .. I need to add my own application to get started when the machine reboots. Is it better to add the start script in rc.local or put the script in /etc/init.d/mystartscript and chkconfig mystartscript on ??? Which one is better ? [11:53] johnnylee194: oh yeah, thats true. Just use the LiveCD to edit that grub file then, you wont have a problem [11:53] Misterio: /etc/init.d/service is not there [11:53] ct529: service was an example [11:53] cage_raphel: sudo mkdir /media/data ; sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /media/data [11:53] ct529: sudo /etc/init.d/tor start [11:53] Misterio: I use /etc/init.d/cups start, /etc/init.d/tor start [11:53] And isn't saved? [11:53] Misterio: ok, sorry [11:53] cage_raphel: this will make the space avable under /media/data/ [11:53] karthee: /etc/rc.local is best [11:53] Misterio: what do you mean saved? [11:53] ii: May i know the reason ? [11:53] Ubuntu uses upstart now so it's not congruent with centos [11:54] erUSUL, check [11:54] cage_raphel: to make it permanent we have to add a line for it to /etc/fstab [11:54] If you start proceess, is automatically restarted after a reboot? [11:54] karthee: This is #ubuntu... [11:54] ct529: ^ (sorry, I sometimes forget nick) [11:54] ah hurr, forget what I just said I misread your question. no idea how centos works [11:55] What should I do to add myself back to sudoers? is it "sudo usermod -aG adm,dialout,dip,fax,cdrom,floppy,tape,audio,plugdev,scanner,admin username"? [11:55] thoeger: :( then i dunno; pthreads should be aviable in libc6-dev ? [11:56] I once used "sudo usermod -G xxx username" to removed myself from sudo list.. [11:56] you add yourself to the "admin" group, I think [11:57] yes, certainly "admin" [11:57] Misterio: so what do I think I should do? [11:57] @ii: Do I need to use visudo? the /etc/sudoers suggested that... [11:57] johnnylee194: sudo adduser youruser admin [11:58] thoeger: found this libpthread-stubs0-dev have you got this istalled ? [11:58] ct529: Honestly, if I were you I would reinstall all, but befir ethat try fixing that problem; Ask here, surelly anyone will know how to solve that [11:58] johnnylee194: I'm pretty sure you just need to use usermod to add yourself to the admin group, you dont even need to touch /etc/sudoers unless you've done something drastic to it [11:58] before [11:58] !separatehome [11:58] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept.

[11:59] Gabriel: you can use your 80 GiB disk dor holding home [11:59] erUSUL, some are but not the one named - is it a dumbed down version that Ubuntu installs, or maybe I need an extra package...? [11:59] @erUSUL: what's the difference of "sudo adduser youruser admin" and "sudo usermod -aG admin youruser"? [12:00] Folks, is there a way to kill applications that are displayed on the screen, leaving the ones running in the background? [12:00] johnnylee194: adduser is safer? seen people here that forgot to use -a and loose all the group memeberships [12:01] Hello all, I've installed 10.4 via Wubi, and attempted the transfer via LVPM, which has gotten me nowhere. Are there any workaround guides on this subject? [12:01] erUSUL, I want to add the 80GB to the existing /home is that possible ? [12:01] StaRetji: use xkill ?

[12:43] archer1: so, you dont get an ip address of default gateway in ifconfig, just the MAC [12:44] archer1: I wouldn't have thought so [12:44] Maddeth: yep,right [12:44] Maddeth: okay === James is now known as Guest16025 === Gurty is now known as Zou [12:45] Hi, how do I make it so that syslog will never gets deleted with log rotate [12:45] Maddeth: i am sure there is a broken link with the driver sky2. cause once i connected with the modem and funny it goes on and off every few seconds [12:45] hi there; i had installed kubuntu to dual boot with win7; kubuntu had serious issues which i researched after the fact and it seems a lot of stuff is horribly broken; so i thought ok, i'll install ubuntu from usb, so i ran unetbootin on it, but when i tried to install i got a generic error: Am error occurred while writing changes to storage devices.

[13:03] manco, just give a try in #lubuntu [13:03] ok tanx [13:04] Hello, everyone. I have a feeling this question gets asked a lot, but why am I constantly getting this error message when I run Update Manager: "Could not download all repository indexes." [13:05] chances are the repository couldn't be reached. [13:05] sikumbuzo: did you add custom repositories? [13:05] So, what can I do to eliminate this problem? [13:05] if you look at the details in the update manager, look and see if you can ping the repos that you are trying to pull from. [13:06] sikumbuzo: Pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update [13:06] Well, I've installed a lot of programs that I believe add their own repository information.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [13:13] It's possible that it's being blocked I guess... [13:14] yes, i am able to browse the web, obvioiusly use chat programs like xchat, and do everything else fine. the only problem ive been having with ubuntu is this repository error [13:14] I've got a major problem and I'm clueless: I didn't do anything but suddently everything beyond gdm has totally stopped working. When I boot the computer the LOGIN screen appears which a warning that "gnome-power-manager has not correctly been configured" and instead of the purple background the background is black.

I'm in SU mode and I want to fsck my disks but rsyslogd and udevd still occupy some mounts [13:15] the school might be blocking traffic to the ubuntu repo from the proxy. [13:15] yeah, that certainly sounds possible, but im not sure why they block ubuntu repos?? [13:15] i've installed a .deb package but couldn't find it on the apps menu..any suggestions where to find it? [13:15] is it a laptop? [13:15] yes, i am using a laptop [13:15] dell studio 1555 [13:15] redvil: if its installed it should be in /usr/bin [13:16] go find some free wi-fi at starbucks or something and see if you have the same problem... [13:16] if you do, then it's the school. [13:16] at work, so if you need me, mention me & I'll catch the highlight when I check xchat periodically [13:16] aeon-ltd: how do i get it up and running [13:16] ok [13:16] sikumbuzo, they are probably paid by Microsoft to do so [13:16] if you don't...i meant.. [13:16] lol [13:16] sikumbuzo: its more likely everything is blacklisted and only acceptable ips are whitelisted, or ports are bl [13:16] wont be able to try that for a while, what happens if that fails? [13:16] *blocked [13:16] any back up plans? [13:16] redvil: what app is it? [13:16] gimpshop [13:16] ubecart.org is still broken [13:17] http://www.ubercart.org/news/jul-16-2010/ubercart_30_alpha_3_released_now_rules_integration [13:17] access denied [13:17] redvil: in a terminal type '/usr/bingimpshop' or just gimpshop might work [13:17] manco, from that page ubottu gave you you wll know all factoids. i tell you one e.g. type /msg ubottu !hi test this after ubottu gives you msg you can check other factoid there by typing ! [13:17] aeon-ltd: will try that now [13:17] oops [13:17] wrong channel :) [13:17] it actually makes a lot of sense that it would be the school because i've also been having trouble forwarding ports [13:17] you might be stuck waiting until you can get off campus...but you should probably ask a school SA if and why they block ubuntu repos.. [13:18] aeon-ltd: it says command not found [13:18] redvil: not even /usr/bin/gimpshop ? [13:18] Can anyone tell me why firefox displays white text on white background? [13:18] hi all [13:18] but why is that it would block the repos only *sometimes* [13:18] EVEN if I disable all styles [13:18] aeon-ltd: will try that one now [13:18] i mean im able to download and install packages from the package manager [13:19] abhijt ; tanx a lot man [13:19] redvil: look in /usr/bin for gimp using a filemanager [13:19] don't know...without knowing how the network is set up that's not easy to answer. [13:20] alright, well thanks for shedding some light on the issue [13:20] sure. [13:20] what is the terminal command to shutdown?? [13:20] talk to one of the school SA's... [13:20] other than this repo trouble Ubuntu 10.04 is great [13:20] mance : sudo shutdown -P now [13:20] k tanx [13:20] aeon-ltd: hmmm..the file is not there [13:20] yep..10.04 is great... [13:21] thanks to Ubuntu, I've kept some pretty old hardware very usable.. [13:21] me too [13:21] hey what is the command to address the guy u r referring to? [13:21] manco : u gotta type manco : [13:21] redvil: nothing gimp related? [13:21] manco, type the first letters of the nickname then press TAB [13:21] i have a random off topic question should i bounce to the other channel? [13:21] aeon-ltd: i installed the .deb package by right clicking on the file and install by GDebi installer [13:21] sikumbuzo, yes please [13:21] lor, [13:22] tomcat anyone [13:22] aeon-ltd: nothing gimp related [13:22] redvil: see if you can just edit the gnome menu and find it that way [13:22] manco, :) [13:22] help me with tomcat [13:22] /channelinfo [13:22] oops [13:22] well that did not work as i intended [13:22] sikumbuzo, #ubuntu-offtopic [13:22] ive forgotten my irc commands [13:22] thanks [13:22] do you know if ubuntu studio supports low-latency USB audio cards like ESI UGM96? [13:22] aeon-ltd:how do i do that thing with the gnome menu? [13:22] hi, how do I enable ipv6? lsmod | grep ipv6 returns nothing [13:22] redvil: system/preferences [13:22] aeon-ltd:do i need to reboot/restart? [13:23] how to use proxy in linux? my proxy= http://192.168.1.2 port=80 , it use windows active directory to auth login, must have username and password, i have a full access userID and password. Thanks. [13:23] were can i get a list of irc commands [13:23] manco: "/quote help" will give you a list. [13:23] ok [13:23] PeterT: go to firefox type about:config and uncheck the boolean value for network.disable.IPv6 or something like that [13:24] nitstorm: not on my computer, on my VPS [13:24] hi all, what is the easy way to create a bootable usb key (is there such a thing as an easy way)?

[13:25] PeterT: no idea what vps is so i feel lost [13:25] aeon-ltd:i installed it using both the terminal and GDebi installer [13:25] io: zernebok.com [13:25] io: is that what you mean? [13:26] hi, the download page says that the 64bit version is "not recommended for daily desktop usage". i have used 904 (jaunty) 64bit without problems. is 1004 also a safe bet? [13:26] it does? [13:26] PeterT: Yes. They don't have native IPv6 connectivity, do they? Did you setup a tunnel? [13:26] dgh123: i've been using it fine without problems [13:26] dgh123: Yes. [13:26] io: I have an ipv6 address on my box [13:26] David-T: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [13:27] PeterT: You added it to /etc/network/interfaces etc? [13:27] io: no, what should I add there? [13:27] manco, welcome :) [13:27] David-T, io ok thank you [13:27] how can I disable IPv6 under Ubuntu in order to makesure that I connect to the internet using IPv4 and that my MAC address isn't given away to the outer world? [13:27] Is there a small terminal app for playing mp3's? [13:27] PeterT: Your IPv6 block? [13:27] I have two de's. will it slow my boot time? [13:27] dgh123, don't use 64bit if you don't really need it [13:28] PeterT: Similar as when you are adding IPv4 addreses. [13:28] metalgeek: mpg321 [13:28] metalgeek: mplayer [13:28] io: *I* don't add it, the admin does [13:29] io: but I see a section with my ipv6 address in here [13:29] PeterT: Unusual, usually when you have a VPS you a root and manage it. So ask the administrator to do it for you like you usually would. [13:29] lor: i would like to run two or more vboxes and have 4gig ram [13:29] dgh123, ok. use it :) [13:29] PeterT: It is added already? [13:29] io: yes [13:29] ipv6 ... not very used yet [13:29] PeterT: Then it is configured. What IRC client are you using? [13:29] neckoox: Well, depends where you are. [13:30] neckoox: It is, actually. [13:30] how can I disable IPv6 under Ubuntu in order to makesure that I connect to the internet using IPv4 and that my MAC address isn't given away to the outer world? [13:30] io: well, my problem is that oidentd doesn't work when ZNC uses an ipv6 address as a vhost [13:30] !ipv6 | pepito [13:30] pepito: For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [13:30] so I was wondering if enabling ipv6 would help [13:30] O well n it is then groing faster than i first though [13:31] PeterT: That has nothing to do with a problem with your IPv6 connection - oidentd does not respond to requests through IPv6 natively. [13:31] io: how can I make it respond to requests? [13:31] pepito: Does your ISP do IPv6? [13:31] PeterT: Add "-a ::" to its runtime options. [13:32] io: well, I use sudo service oidentd start [13:32] PeterT: Well edit the service. [13:32] io: how? [13:32] PeterT: The /etc/init.d file. [13:33] I've got a major problem and I'm clueless: I didn't do anything but suddently everything beyond gdm has totally stopped working. When I boot the computer the LOGIN screen appears which a warning that "gnome-power-manager has not correctly been configured" and instead of the purple background the background is black. When I then try to log in the loginbox disappears and nothings happens, according to pstree metacity and "{gnome-session}" are runni [13:33] And then if I open aptitude I get "Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - No such file or dir" [13:33] jpds, not yet, but I am trying to get ready for when it does, so that I don't make the mistake of inadvertedly given up my MAC [13:33] Hi; ages ago, I banned some soft from the automatic ubuntu update. Can't remember how I did this, and would REALLY love to know how to undo it... [13:33] Please guys, this is so serious I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall everything [13:34] ManDay: If you can boot up, no need to reinstall [13:34] !uptime [13:34] WindowsVista Uptime: 5days 17hrs 50mins 33secs Best: 5days 17hrs 50mins 33secs [13:34] Windows7 Uptime : 1hr 49mins 53secs Record : 1wk 2days 19hrs 54mins 23secs [13:34] pepito: Well, you might still have plenty of time.

[13:35] pepito: Also IPv6 has privacy capabitiles built-in which are designed to mask your MAC address. [13:35] PeterT: No, I said it's runtime options (OIDENTD_OPTIONS), not the path to the binary. [13:36] io: ain't there a file holding a list of banned stuff ? [13:36] io: oh, sorry! thank you so much, I"ll test it now [13:36] qwerkus: if I find no solution, I've got no other option [13:36] cpuinfo is showing only 8 of the 12 threads my cpu has. any clue on how to fix it? === dragonlinux is now known as drglnx [13:37] whats the nslookup command to see mx records? [13:37] qwerkus: dpkg -l |grep ^h [13:37] io: I don't know, it just still doesn't work [13:37] I made a new account that uses an ipv6 host [13:37] llutz: nice one ! And how you undo it ? [13:38] qwerkus: aptitude install [13:38] and it still doesn't give ident response [13:38] tecb0y: dog MX domain.tld [13:38] tecb0y: I use dig. dig MX google.com [13:38] tecb0y: dig MX domain.tld sry [13:38] jpds, do those built-in capabilities to mask the MAC work by default or, on the contrary, does the admin/user himself have to enable them? [13:38] llutz: yeah, did that. But it only updates the packet once, and doesn't remove it from the banning list [13:38] pepito: User has to enable them. [13:39] tecb0y: nslookup -type=MX google.com [13:39] pepito: I suggest reading http://www.ja.net/documents/publications/technical-guides/ipv6-tech-guide-for-web.pdf [13:39] qwerkus: echo packagename install | dpkg --set-selections [13:39] jpds, that's the problem, that they don't come enabled by default and hence it's easy to bypass them unknowingly giving away your MAC [13:40] thank you, jpds, I will take a look at that [13:40] qwerkus: or aptitude unholde pkg [13:40] unhold** [13:41] Fn+F8 & Fn+F9 buttons (brightness controls) does not work, is there something i can do to fix it? [13:42] llutz: Great job ! Works now.

Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.

[16:04] Beyecixramd, now my pc detects the priter.. but i cant print [16:05] !ask | sam898889 [16:05] sam898889: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:05] waldir, I guess there's no easy way if you really need the newest version. Just a quote from given site: "we highly recommend installing via binary packages or by building source packages which can automatically satisfy their build dependencies." [16:05] Hover, do you have the printer drivers installed? [16:05] abhijit i didnt ask a question because i dont have one. i need a hand. ~~ thanks. [16:05] kasun: yea, I read that. I wish they also provided those packages! [16:05] sam898889, then you will not get hand. if you want support you will get it. [16:06] support. hand. is there a difference? [16:06] Anyway ~ anyone good at partitioning?????? [16:06] waldir, if a package is in the repo and you need a more recent version use aptitude build-dep [16:06] cupsd? [16:06] kasun: anyway, I'm now running ./configure for what I expect to be the last time [16:06] chakravanti_, i dont think i have the driver installed.. but it could easily print thru usb connection.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === Roman is now known as Guest15960 [16:54] sorry, I'm new here :P, alright.. typing. [16:54] waldir, still my first point stands. [16:54] I need a timeline based mixing software for ubuntu. [16:55] Vig: ??? [16:55] something like Ableton or Mixmeister on windows. [16:55] i'm new to ubuntu, trying to find a software like that. [16:55] i have typed :/join #ubuntu -cn but nothing happened~~~!! [16:55] kasun: yes, of course, I'm just kidding. but regarding digsby, I have used several IM clients and that's the most convenient one for me [16:55] Ascavasaion: That is the BIG list of Manual pages on USB and such devices... [16:55] Jancsy: #ubuntustudio might be a good channel for you to ask in. /join #ubuntustudio [16:55] Jancsy, can you explain "timeline based mising software " a bit more for me? [16:56] cxb_: Don't type the space between #ubuntu and -cn [16:56] coz: mixing, audio mixing [16:56] cxb_: /join #ubuntu-cn [16:56] kasun: pidgin's very, very close to it, but it lacks the server-side synchronization, so I have to re-merge my contacts everytime I use it elsewhere [16:56] coz_: mixing, yeah [16:56] OK,thanks [16:56] not real-time, timeline. [16:56] Jancsy: Ardour is what youre looking for [16:56] like a puzzle, hehe. [16:56] lemme check. :) [16:56] Jancsy, if you mean for audio then yeah #ubuntustudio probably but there are several example "ardour" [16:56] is it easy to use? [16:56] Jancsy: Take a look at the ubuntu-studio audio section here as well: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageList All of those packages are in the Ubuntu repositories [16:57] hello [16:57] Jancsy, welll ardour is a high end Digial workstation application [16:57] waldir, okay, cool. I used Kopete for a while. Now, my love is with Empathy. It just suites me! [16:57] how does one properly set the ulimit (-n) in hardy? I've edited /etc/pam.d/sshd and /etc/security/limits.conf with no effect [16:57] Jancsy, so as far as high end DW goes its easy :) [16:57] figured it out, i need something simple. [16:57] :) [16:57] Empathy cant even send files over MSN [16:57] it's ok haha ,thanks all very much!!! [16:57] Vig: hehehe Okay, so I am pretty much screwed heehhe [16:58] Jancsy, then the people in #ubuntustudio would be much more helpful :) [16:58] thanks a lot guys! [16:58] \o/ [16:58] Ascavasaion: Is there also a USB port on the back of the PC? [16:58] kasun: I just want one that allows me to merge the contacts and will remember that (and the nicknames) server-side :( [16:58] smallfoot-, i dnt use msn [16:59] kasun: do you know any that does that? [16:59] Vig: Laptop with two USB ports... and both ports give this error with memory sticks. [16:59] kasun, rest of the world does [16:59] msn, all girls use it [16:59] hi is anyone in here to tell me how i can setup own shortcuts for the "at" as an example in XFCE? [16:59] smallfoot-: yes, that's a good point also [16:59] Ascavasaion: Have you looked on Launchpad for any similar errors or same problems? [17:00] smallfoot-, rest of the world? wow, that should be called in terms of billions huh? :P [17:00] well exlcuding africans cuz they dont have computers [17:00] Vig: Nope... I have Googled... and I just get posts asking what it means and why, but no pointers for solutions. [17:00] Ascavasaion: is it seen in the usb chain in another linux box? [17:01] smallfoot-, well, that's racist :D [17:01] Ascavasaion: Hrmm, almost sounds like a major hardware malfunction. does the BIOS check out ok? [17:01] kasun, no, its true [17:01] I'm having problems with Openoffice crashing all the time. [17:01] raubvogel: I do not have another linux box... but it works in Windows 7 on this same machine [17:01] smallfoot-: Please stay on topic here and keep the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines in mind. [17:01] ok [17:01] Im confused, I thought read/write for ntfs was enabled by default on ubuntu? [17:01] funkyweasel: what version of Ubuntu, do you use PPAs, did you upgrade from an earlier version of ubuntu? [17:01] How can I have a drive mounted as read only thats ntf [17:01] can i take unix builds and compile them in ubuntu? or will it have to be debian/ubuntu specific. I'm trying to install a unix version of apache [17:02] ntfs* [17:02] waldir, I'm not sure. you want to sync, right? === XyliosPC1 is now known as Xylios [17:02] elb0w: because the r/w module is called ntfs-3g [17:02] ubottu: ntfs | elb0w [17:02] elb0w: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [17:02] masterslakk, you can compile unix source code on linux, but better install from repository, its easier [17:02] kasun: yes, such as if i intall it in another pc I dont want to config groups and nicknames and say which contacts are the same all over again [17:02] smallfoot-, Agreed. So, you are a girl? what u find more interesting in msn so that *all* girls use it? [17:02] how do I mount a samba share with ntfs-3g [17:02] ? [17:03] kasun: Please stay on topic. [17:03] !ot | kasun, smallfoot- [17:03] kasun, smallfoot-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:03] Ah, beat me to it. [17:03] kasun, no im a boy, and i like msn, cuz girls use it, and i want to chat with girls ,but i cant send/accept pictures from girls with empathy, which is why i hate ubuntu [17:03] smallfoot-, whats the command line to install from repository? [17:03] peepingtom: 10.04, no PPAs for openoffice, fresh install. [17:03] masterslakk, sudo apt-get install apache [17:04] waldir, ah then you may try kopete. It does that. (wow... a warning came!) [17:04] masterslakk, sudo apt-get install [17:04] kasun: hmm, I'm quite sure I did already, but I'll check it out now [17:05] kasun: all this trouble to install wine, for nothing :/ [17:05] how is the sound card manager packet called? [17:05] how do i change icons of a launcher? [17:05] AndyGraybeal, right-click, properties [17:05] masterslakk: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man8/apt-get.8.html [17:05] funkyweasel: next time it crashes, send in the bug report to launchpad [17:06] need help setting up my tvtuner card...finally got my tvtuner detected using the modprobe thing (Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01))...Getting an output when i set TVTIME to composite, but no output while selecting the television mode. Also, not getting any sound. Please help.. [17:06] smallfoot-: that seems to get me to modify the current icon, (i'm in 8.10) not replace the icon -- so for instance.. it adds an 'emblem' to the icon..not changing the icon itself. [17:06] peepingtom: Fair enough. Was hoping to get some wisdom if it was a common occurence. [17:06] funkyweasel: it's not normal for oo.o to crash, has it always done that on your ubuntu install? [17:06] waldir, that's good for the Xperience. and you better check it whether it has all the features u need. I'm going for dinner now. bye! [17:06] nope, furtunately it's not [17:06] AndyGraybeal: Click on the icon itself in the properties window. [17:06] kasun: bye, bon appetit ;) [17:06] peepingtom: Only on this box, this install. Otherwise I've found it magnificently stable. [17:07] Pici: thaqnk you ! that was the answer [17:07] does anyone know where the standard icons live so i can select one of those? [17:08] /usr/share/pixmaps [17:08] IdleOne: awesome :) [17:08] is it possible to upgrade wifi drivers without compiling the kernel? [17:08] StaRetji: yes [17:09] StaRetji: what drivers do you use? [17:09] peepingtom: I have to setup master mode (AP mode) with this card https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode#ZyDAS%20ZD1211 [17:09] hi! can you help me, what's the difference between linux x86 and x86_64 and how could i know which one do i have? [17:09] peepingtom: but apparently, driver that came with lucid can't support that [17:10] Bleh... Ubuntu is broken again... and it always will be. 10.04 Release? Still a test version. [17:10] Ascavasaion, what is the issue?? [17:10] chat.onet.pl [17:10] y_ezhkov: x86_64 is 64bit [17:10] 10.04 is LTS not test [17:10] Ascavasaion, there are a few major bugs I can think of that have not been dealt with but what are you finding? [17:10] IdleOne, so ubuntu 10.04 is 64bit? [17:10] so my / and /home are on seperate partitions, why would my / only use ~10g last week and now on a 74gig partitoin, it is saying almost ocmpletely full [17:11] is there some temp files that i cannot find? [17:11] y_ezhkov: both 32 AND 64 BIT VERSIONS ARE AVAILABLE [17:11] sorry caps [17:11] coz_: what is the /dev entry for a USB device? I am trying to get my USB to work and getting Jul 19 17:22:34 fellowship kernel: [ 4414.932412] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4 as a message on syslog. The USB memory stick does not work. [17:11] !de [17:11] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [17:11] Ascavasaion, try the command 'lsusb' [17:11] y_ezhkov: the x86 is 32bit x86_64 is 64 bit [17:11] peepingtom: any thoughts mate? [17:11] Ascavasaion: usually /dev/sd [17:11] StaRetji: I think your wifi card will be a pain, 1 sec [17:12] Ascavasaion, oh man usb.... this is one of the bugs I have found on lucid... usb devices do not work properly nor can they be unmounted properly if they have multiple partitions [17:12] smallfoot-: It does not register [17:12] IdleOne: so.. how can i get information about my system? [17:12] StaRetji: Is that driver part of the kernel? [17:12] Ascavasaion, maybe the USB device is broken or unsupported or something, idk [17:12] y_ezhkov: "uname -a" will show you what kernel/version you are running [17:12] be back in a bit need to go to grocery [17:12] peepingtom: ehm, not sure, how to find out? I mean, it's brand new install of lucid, I didn't add anything [17:12] i always get a Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 2: not well-formed (invalid token) error when running anything from the terminal [17:12] smallfoot-: It worked just after the install and update... then I unplugged the divice without unmounting it and since then it is broken. [17:13] StaRetji: I didnt think it is, thats what im checking. It's made by the manufacturer, good drivers are generally part of the Linux Kernel. But anyway, you can compile a "kernel module" without recompiling the whole kernel [17:13] Ascavasaion, oh, you must always unmount [17:13] peepingtom: is there any tutorial how to do it? [17:13] smallfoot-: I know.. but surely that cannot break the USB permanently in Linux. [17:13] Ascavasaion, yeah, i think.... should be able to recover it, maybe need fsck the file system [17:14] Hello everyone. I have a built-in 3G mobile modem on my Toshiba NB-200 netbook and I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I bought a SIM card but it didn't work when I plugged it into module. I realized that Ubuntu wasn't recognized my modem and the solution which I read is not easy to solve this problem. Is there a easier way for modem configuring? Thank you for your help. [17:16] Where do icons for installed applications live on 10.04? for example I'm making a new folder in the main menu...and I'd like to use the vmware icon instead of the folder icon...what is the path to the vmware icon? [17:16] StaRetji: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download That driver is part of the kernel, my mistake [17:16] StaRetji: but look at that compat wireless site [17:16] under "user" [17:16] peepingtom: Problem is, network-manager doesn't give me a option for master mode, just ad-hoc and I'm ready to accept that, but the thing is, ad-hoc mode will not listen all the time for another party. So, if I do not connect immediately ad-hoc idels [17:16] is it USB or PCI? [17:16] peepingtom: thx man. I really appreciate your help [17:17] USB [17:17] urthmover: look in /usr/share/pixmaps [17:17] ever since I installed lucid lynx on my laptop, movie player crashes the entire computer whenever it starts to play a media file. I don't have the same problem with vlc, etc. What could be the problem? [17:17] urthmover: it should be there [17:17] or how do you find stangnet files on ext4? [17:17] IdleOne: awesome thanks I'll check there now [17:18] hi..i cannot seem been able to create a USB startup disk in ubuntu10.04. I've been able to do this with previous versions. I got an error at the last portion of the operation...I tried both fat16/32 and using same usb drive as before..is this an ubuntu bug? [17:20] StaRetji: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers They call "master mode" "AP" in this table, which is put out by the guys who work on the Linux kernel [17:20] Can you help me for my problem. Thank you. [17:20] ah I get it [17:20] what problem Turbolinux¿ [17:21] urthmover: /usr/share/pixmaps/ ? [17:21] ok well the Linux Kernel drivers are good but dont support "master mode" [17:21] so there are third party drivers [17:21] which are likely crud, but: http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd1211/develop [17:21] I wrote bit upper. You can read it. Thank you. [17:21] I've added a line with "blacklist vga16fb" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf (for running inside VirtualBox), but somehow after an reboot it still gets loaded. What could be wrong? [17:21] install subversion, check out that source, and build it [17:22] its pretty easy actually, do you know basic command-line commands? [17:22] erUSUL: cool thanks....I'm actually finding the vmware ones in /usr/lib/vmware/share/pixmaps I did a locate *.xpm | grep vm* and have found them [17:22] Xangua: I wrote it as a previous message with my nickname. You can read it from there. Thanks. [17:23] peepingtom: yes, I know how to compile, the trouble is, this is Live usb system with permanent storage, I've compiled xbmc on it [17:23] Turbolinux: i can't because i just entered the room [17:23] peepingtom: but i'm not sure if I can compile the kernel at all [17:23] ern can someone plz tell me why when u run something in terminal it disconnects me from my wireless network i sorted the drivers out for it today witht he help of some people here and now everytime i run soething in terminal i get disconnected and have t reboot iss there a fix for this / [17:23] i recently upgraded to 10.04 on my wife's computer. she was not happy when pidgin quit working right, and even thought I've added all of her IM accounts into empathy, her accounts are showing as BOTH enabled and disabled. what the heck is screwed up that i need to fix? [17:23] peepingtom: coz it can't write initframs or something like that [17:23] as it is rather irritating rebooting eveytime i get dced [17:24] ok what you do is install the Linux kernel Headers, and you'll compile a new kernel "module" [17:24] peepingtom @ who? [17:24] which is a kernel object (like a windows DLL) that can be loaded [17:24] !who | peepingtom [17:24] peepingtom: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:25] him . please tell me where the ip of websites are stored in Ubuntu ? [17:25] peepingtom: I've downloaded headers [17:25] OK I understood. My problem is this: I have a built-in 3G mobile modem on my Toshiba NB-200 netbook and I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I bought a SIM card but it didn't work when I plugged it into module. I realized that Ubuntu wasn't recognized my modem and the solution which I read wasn't easy to solve this problem. Is there a easier way for modem configuring? [17:25] StaRetji: have you checked out that ZD1211 source from SourceForge using Subversion? [17:26] So I have to activate my mobile modem on my netbook computer. [17:26] i'll grab it now, I can probably walk you through this really quickly [17:26] peepingtom: yes, it's now in /usr/src/zd1211 [17:26] turbolinux go to 3gs webby they should have instructiobns for how to install on linux via sudo apt-get [17:26] what, did you run svn using sudo? [17:26] you should put it in the home directory so you don't have to run "make" as root [17:26] IdleOne: great idea, might you have any insight into my issue? i've asked in here several times over several weeks, and noone seems to have any input, not even an acknowledgement. [17:26] peepingtom: no, I'm root over ssh (putty_ [17:27] JJ_: What's the adress of 3G's Webby? [17:27] 1 sec ill get it for you mr turbo [17:27] ah I guess it doesnt matter this is just an XBMC box or whatever [17:27] StaRetji: k 1 sec im checking the source [17:27] kc8pxy: I have no idea what your issue is or why you thought I would. [17:27] peepingtom: yeah, shall I go with make and them make install. Ok, I'll wait [17:27] ya thats exactly what you should do [17:27] chmod is the command to change perms, what is the command that locks directories... i can't remembe the command name. [17:28] AndyGraybeal: there is no such command... [17:28] StaRetji: so the only issue you'll have here is that Ubuntu ALSO comes with a version of this driver [17:28] Turbolinux try here http://www.three.co.uk/Help_Support/About_my_mobile/Troubleshooter [17:28] kc8pxy: I think what might be happening is that empathy is also using the old pidgin config, showing the account twice? [17:28] there's something -- it's like chmod, but it's different - i'm not explaning it corretly - it changes some bits on the directory somehow (ti's not chown either, i remember that one) [17:28] !permissions | AndyGraybeal [17:28] AndyGraybeal: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [17:29] peepingtom: ehm, I'll have to blacklist old one? [17:29] ern can someone plz tell me why when u run something in terminal it disconnects me from my wireless network i sorted the drivers out for it today witht he help of some people here and now everytime i run soething in terminal i get disconnected and have t reboot iss there a fix for this / [17:29] peepingtom: make gives me error [17:29] for file transfer whats faster openssh or openvpn? [17:30] StaRetji: The thing I don't get is that Ubuntu comes with a driver called zd1211rw and another called zd1201 [17:30] Staretji: this one from sourceforge is called zd1211, is it different from zd1211rw? [17:30] peepingtom: it seems that rw one doesn't support ap mode [17:30] IdleOne: that might make sense. (seeing as i've yet to make REAL sense of empathy), but wouldn't that show each account twice? and one set would be uable? i see one set of accounts, and each one is listed as both enabled and disabled. if i can get it to one or the other, and not both, i think I'll be good. [17:31] peepingtom: it's different [17:31] StaRetji: oh ok good that makes it a lot easier [17:31] yeah you should just Make it [17:31] How do I change system sounds to user defined files (not change sound themes or to "built-in" sounds) and is it possible to change the loading / splash screen for the OS? Running Lucid. [17:31] erUSUL: it's something to set the directory or file structure so you can't modify anhything in thta folder.. it isn't perms, it's like perms though. i swear i know it exists becaues i've used it - and now i have to use it agian to unlock what i've done. [17:31] StaRetji: and it will make a .ko file [17:31] Hello [17:31] StaRetji: you can use modprobe to load it [17:31] karmst: hello] [17:31] peepingtom: check this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode#ZyDAS%20ZD1211 [17:32] kc8pxy: hmm, it is showing the account as both enabled and disabled at the same time? sounds like a bug. I mean it should be either or not both [17:32] hi [17:32] What is the best way to add Lucid to a Windows 2008r2 DC? [17:32] peepingtom: make give's me errors [17:32] hello [17:32] karmst use windows virtual pc and load lucid into that as ur using windows [17:32] after my upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 tls failed i was able to startup my machine only with a live cd. I want to backup my data now how do i get to my data of my real ubuntu and not from my live cd? === wai is now known as avidya [17:32] JJ [17:32] StaRetji: yeah we're on the same page. I just checked, this driver is ooold :( pre-2008 [17:32] I'm asking about how to add it as a domain client [17:32] hello! [17:32] Jigal: does it see your partitions? [17:32] to a 2008r2 DC [17:32] and there have been some architectural changes in how Linux WiFi drivers are made [17:33] StaRetji: you might be screwed ;) [17:33] how do i install RMagick libry? [17:33] !domain [17:33] for file transfer whats faster openssh or openvpn? [17:33] peepingtom: lol :D [17:33] !domain [17:33] I'm trying to recover some data from a pen, can some one recommend me a goog data recover app. [17:33] peepingtom: I'm willing to risk it and try to build module [17:33] sorry karmst not sure ont hat one [17:33] aeon-ltd: i had all my stuff under /var/www but now I don't see it [17:33] aeon-ltd: do i have to mownt something or so? [17:33] peepingtom: but again, make gives me a lot of error, can't post it here [17:33] IdleOne: agreed. wait.. DOH>. tha;ts stupid. [17:33] Jigal: well does it see your partitions? [17:34] kc8pxy: ?

[17:36] peepingtom: modprobe is enough? [17:36] StaRetji: Pretty much yeah, and "modinfo" is good for checking versions etc [17:36] hmmm actually it appears playing video files on vlc also completely crashes lucid. have to hard reset the laptop. thoughts? [17:36] peepingtom: great, thx so much, respects and gratitude for helping out ;) [17:36] IdleOne: int eh account status, i saw account disabled, then i saw enabled below it. with the default theme, the checkbox next to enabled was invisible, or rather, it blended in with the background so that it only was visible when checked. on a whim, i clicked next to it, and the accounts are now enabled.. that a stupid issue. it needs to not themable to become invisible like that.. [17:37] StaRetji: so if you get it working, blacklist the old driver, and add the new one to /etc/modules [17:37] StaRetji: and to avoid restarting your computer [17:37] peepingtom: sure [17:37] StaRetji: use modprobe -r to unload a module first, then just manually load the new one. if the new one has a unique name, you dont have to specify the whole path [17:37] StaRetji: so yeah, good luck! [17:38] I'm trying to recover some data from a pen, can some one recommend me a good data recover app. [17:38] StaRetji: if all else fails, you can get something with an atheros chipset for like $10 on ebay I guess [17:38] kc8pxy: you should report a bug on that :) run ubuntu-bug empathy [17:38] peepingtom: That's plan B :) Thx for all help man [17:39] StaRetji: no problem! [17:40] NCS_One: what file system is on the drive, FAT or NTFS? [17:40] ive got a machine that has no more hdd space, what can i do to easily remove unused apps/etc to get space back [17:40] resno: run Synaptic, sort packages by size and remove the APPLICATIONS you do not use [17:41] resno: also you can uninstall older and unused versions of the kernel [17:41] peepingtom: how do you uninstall older kernels? [17:42] !software | resno [17:42] resno: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [17:42] erUSUL: a kernal is not running through the repo. [17:42] kernel* [17:42] part [17:42] resno: in synaptic search for linux-image and uninstall the ones you don't want [17:43] lol [17:43] resno: see what bastid_raZor said [17:43] thanks bastid_raZor :) [17:43] resno: you're welcome. === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [17:43] bastid_raZor: will that recover alot of space? [17:43] resno: just keep the linux-image / header with the highest number, of course [17:44] peepingtom: seems like a solid suggestion ;) [17:44] peepingtom: for some reason it says its not formated, so I cant access it. [17:44] resno: it will give back a fair amount. each kernel takes up bout 40MB [17:44] NCS_One: how big is the drive? [17:44] peepingtom: 4G [17:45] NCS_One: it's probably formated as FAT [17:45] NCS_One: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk this is a good tool [17:46] NCS_One: but obviously I have no idea what happened to your drive, it works in no other computers right?

Install this file manually or Dwarf Fortress will fail to run! ---Help? [17:47] hello everybody, im running ubuntu, and i have kids using windows, is there a software similar to windwow live care, to protect them and see what they're doing remotely? [17:47] researcher1: i like mediatomb as a upnp server [17:47] dansguardian [17:47] NCS_One: Well you should check out that TestDisk site, there are tutorials for it on that site and on the web [17:47] bastid_raZor: im doing this through terminal, how do i find what kernels are installed? [17:47] tq. does it do live broadcasting [17:47] Hi ppl! I need someone running Lucid to check a strange behaviour. I wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz and try to gunzip it. It fails on lucid (just installed today), but works ok on karmic. The md5 on the file checked ok and gunzip versions are the same. [17:47] what is the Assembly software in ubuntu? [17:47] researcher1: no that's for home media streaming [17:48] peepingtom: thanks, I'll check it [17:48] NarbeH: mawk, I think? [17:48] can u tell somethuing for live audio video broadcasting across internet [17:48] also: hurr [17:48] I am an idiot :) [17:48] researcher1: what are you trying to broadcast to? [17:48] NarbeH: a x86 assembler? [17:48] lecture [17:48] erUSUL: yes. [17:48] from classroom [17:48] researcher1: whats the output machine? [17:48] NarbeH: gas or nasm [17:49] to students all over hostel, residential areas etc [17:49] erUSUL: which one is better? [17:49] * peepingtom meant what erUSUL siad [17:49] just a computer [17:49] !who | researcher1 [17:49] researcher1: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:49] resno: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [17:49] NarbeH: dunno; depends on the syntax you will be using... gas is the assembler of gcc; nasm is most often used as stand alone assembler [17:50] researcher1: you could put it on a website that would stream i [17:50] thanks again bastid_raZor [17:50] hello everybody, im running ubuntu, and i have kids using windows, is there a software similar to windwow live care, to protect them and see what they're doing remotely? [17:50] erUSUL: thx [17:50] resno. I want it live not recorde broadcast [17:50] Tizemt: Remote Desktop software or some type of filter? [17:51] researcher1: again, you can stream it, but the best way i see is to either use ustream or something similar or write your own system [17:51] peepingtom: anything will help me to control what they're doing [17:51] resno: whats ustream [17:51] peepingtom: we're on the same network [17:51] Tizemt: teamviewer is available for linux now... and vnc that comes with ubuntu. [17:51] researcher1: this is out of the context of the #ubuntu chat. ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [17:51] Tizemt: http://dansguardian.org/?page=whatisdg [17:51] Schmick: team viewer requires authentication [17:52] Tizemt: where can I get teamviewer for ubuntu [17:52] Tizemt: remotely viewing their desktop is different, you can do windows remote desktop or VNC though [17:52] resno: ok.thanks [17:52] No Tizemt ... you can set a default password beforehand in TV. [17:52] researcher1: teamviewer.com [17:52] researcher1: i am in the #ubuntu-offtopic line and help further if needed [17:52] Schmick: ah!! i didn't knew that! [17:53] thanksn Tizemt [17:53] researcher1: you're welcome [17:53] resno: Im joining it [17:53] hey everyone, i was told that i need free space to move a partition with gparted, however, i have 93 gigs of unallocated space that i can't move [17:54] nkei0: you can't move unallocated space. thats just empty space with nothing [17:54] nkei0: either slowly shift the data into partitions that you resize, or get another drive [17:54] nkei0: you can move stuff, not empty space... unallocated space can't be moved. [17:54] Hi ppl! I need someone running Lucid to check a strange behaviour. I wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz and try to gunzip it. It fails on lucid (just installed today), but works ok on karmic. The md5 on the file checked ok and gunzip versions are the same. [17:55] Can randr 1.3 handle moving windows between multiple screens, or is xinerama still required for that? [17:55] Is there a way to save the favicon when I bookmark a website on my desktop? [17:55] erUSUL: I found it: chattr [17:55] Schmick: so how do I move it? I know that it has to be next to the partition that i want to grow [17:55] !yay | AndyGraybeal [17:55] AndyGraybeal: Glad you made it! :-) [17:55] schmick use sudo apt-get "filename" instead [17:55] nkei: do you mean moving your data into the unallocated space, thus turining some of the allocated space into unallocated space and vice versa? [17:55] i got a problem [17:56] when i am upgrading my ubuntu [17:56] nkei: just resize a partition into the unallocated part [17:56] i got this message [17:56] peepingtom: No, I mean I currently have 25gigs for ubuntu, i want to increase it to 100gig using 75gig of the unallocated space [17:56] Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. You can re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool or your package manager [17:56] urthmover: usually it's wget http://.../favicon.ico [17:56] JJ_: that's not the issue.. the issue is that this behaviour makes backups unreliable.. I need some third party to test it. [17:56] Anyone else install dropbox? Having trouble getting it to finish the download. Keeps stalling around 20% and not moving further. [17:56] or move oter partitions till the unallocatet space is near the partition you want to grow [17:56] nkei0: you can just resize the partition, or is their another parition between them? [17:57] peepingtom: correct there is another partition between them [17:57] yeh it cud be with the particular filetype i had simliar prblem this morning donwloaded diff archive using sudo apt0get and the problem was resolved [17:57] After running acpi=off at startup is there a way to get enable like the battery stuff [17:57] Schmick: It is failing here as well. tar xzvf gets a little further, but fails on a specific file within the archive. [17:57] VeeCount: ok trying for that now [17:57] cud be corrupt or whatever [17:57] nkei0: move the partitons so that the empty space is after the partition you want to expand. [17:58] hi! === HarryS is now known as Guest5115 [17:58] Pici: thx.. so this might be something for launchpad. lucid gunzip build is faulty. [17:59] tell me [17:59] ? [17:59] this is how my gparted looks: dev/sda1 ntfs (windows, dev/sda2 extended (contains linux and the unallocated space) under dev/sda2 i have unallocated 95gig, dev/sda5 linux-swap 22gig, /dev/sda6 ext3 (ubuntu install), unallocated 1mb, /dev/sda7 linux-swap 1gig [17:59] what might be a reason why apache does not deliver a header for a png file but does for another? permissions are identical. [17:59] Ubuntu seems to have moved away from Xinerama, but not provided any method for moving between screens. [17:59] Anyone had problems with the resolution being screwed up in KDE after installing the nvidia drivers? [17:59] the text and menus are all HUGE [17:59] but fluxbox doesn't seem to have a problem with screen resolution [18:00] Schmick: Is there anyway to determine which way a partition will move? and i was told it was easier to move empty space than something with space (i tried having the 75gig i wanted formatted to ext3 and moving it, but it failed after 3 hours) [18:00] I'm looking to install java without the use of it's install GUI, is there a package install of java or a way to extract the proper files from the .bin to be able to install a specific package selection?

[18:01] JJ_: What 'something' are you running? [18:01] dont matter what i run [18:01] anyone know an editor with unlimited undo? [18:01] or that can be set to unlimited undo? [18:01] pico nething i install in terminal installs then disconnects me then i have to reboot my system to reconnect again [18:01] emacs [18:02] <_2> Pici routing issue perhaps ? [18:02] f0g, emacs isn't an editor, you silly, that's like saying windows is an operating system [18:02] _2: I was thinking he was closing the terminal window he initiated the connection on. [18:02] Psh. [18:02] pico im using gui interface for wifi [18:03] f0g, just kidding of course. but I'm looking for a gnome-based editor, should have said so in the first place.

[18:04] <_2> JJ_ i still think you haven't answered the origenal question satisfactorily yet. what are you doing in the terminal ? [18:04] @erUSUL, i need the JDK as well as the JRE. Is there a page on getting both much like the one ubtottu linked? [18:04] yeh [18:04] i use it all the time 1 min lemme check [18:04] CrayonOfDoom: instead of installing say sun-java6-jre install sun-java6-jdk [18:05] anyone available to help me figure out why the resolution is off in KDE after installing the nvidia drivers? [18:05] Helliana, on the command line, run 'sudo nvidia-settings' and try changing the resolution there [18:05] pigeoncluster gedit texteditor has unlimited undos [18:05] CrayonOfDoom: if you are installing openjdk do the same replace jre with jdk to get the development kit [18:06] pico ne ideas ? or u as lost as i am ? [18:06] JJ_, thanks, I didn't know gedit could do it! [18:07] np happy to help [18:07] I use gedit regularly, but I use eclipse some too and eclipse has a 15-char undo buffer ... :P [18:07] ah i see [18:07] :) [18:07] ;) [18:08] PigeonCluster: The resolution is correct in nvidia-settings [18:08] can someone plz tell me why when I run something in terminal it disconnects me from my wireless network i sorted the drivers out for it today with he help of some people here and now everytime i run something in terminal i get disconnected and have to reboot my system is there a fix for this ??? [18:08] Hi! I need help to fix a bug on my xubuntu with LXD [18:08] i would like to set up a home server enviroment.. i have an old computer, so it'll work as a print server.. i've installed on it ubuntu server.. but i have no experience with hosting server.. how do i get started on it? [18:08] Helliana, change it down, apply it, change it back up to what you want, apply it. [18:08] PigeonCluster: i also ran nvidia-xconfig and set the resolution in the xorg.conf. The resolution is also correct in fluxbox. It seems that its just KDE [18:08] NN_ you crazy! [18:08] Hi guys, could you please help me i am getting an error when trying to install from package manger - i get sub process /usr/bin dpkg returned an error code (2) [18:09] bandiera i suggest u got to there website and read the readme files about ubuntu server as that is basic knowledge [18:09] when i try to run from terminal i get "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [18:09] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [18:09] " [18:09] Helliana, ohh!!!! the user-specific resolution thing. I know of that, but not what it's called or where it's stored. [18:09] aha i found my problem, it wasn't letting me resize my extended partition because the linux-swap was mounted still... [18:09] Helliana: it's probably an xrandr thing [18:09] Helliana, yeah, I meant what peepingtom just said [18:09] any know what is causing that? [18:09] Dazzler: Do you have another install/update running somewhere on the system? [18:10] Dazzler, do you have synaptic open? [18:10] peepingtom: what do i do to fix it? [18:10] Dazzler: you have synaptic or the update manager open [18:10] nkei0: good, your swap was huge [18:10] peepingtom: what should it be? [18:10] nkei0: depends on how much RAM you have [18:10] i dont have any other install in process i have booted my machine up and tried to install this from Synaptic Package Manager [18:10] nkei0: wasnt it like 2GiB or something crazy? [18:10] *20 [18:10] !aptlock | Dazzler [18:11] Dazzler: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [18:11] or was it 2 and it was a typo? [18:11] Dazzler, do you have synaptic *open*? [18:11] peepingtom: I'm on a 4yr old sony vaio so probably like 1gig (it's 22gig) [18:11] Dazzler, wait don't try what ubottu said yet [18:11] this was the first thing i tried to do [18:11] Hi. Is there a server that allows you to remote control your desktop (Ubuntu) using the RDP-protocol? [18:11] Dazzler, you don't have anything at all open? you sure? if you do and you run that it will break something quietly. [18:11] nkei0: Yeah that's an outrageous amount of swap, 2 or 3 GiB would be fine so you can hibernate [18:11] how do i force xrandr to use a resolution like 800x800? [18:11] PigeonCluster, yes i have Synaptic open [18:11] Dazzler, close that silly. [18:12] im trying to output to a TV [18:12] we asked you that three or four times ... [18:12] it seems that xrandr has it set to 1920x1080 like it should be [18:12] peepingtom: ok so 1gig isn't really enough or i'll have hibernation issues? [18:12] PigeonCluster, can i not run the install from there? [18:12] PigeonCluster, i first tried that then ran the command from the terminal [18:12] Helliana: I have no idea ;) but run xrandr in terminal and see what resolution it reports [18:12] hi [18:12] Dazzler, welll .... wait, are you trying to install on the command line, or in synaptic? if you're trying to use synaptic, then close synaptic, run the command ubottu said, then open synaptic again [18:12] I am running ubuntu, and just wondering [18:12] HELP! I recently installed LXDE on my Xubuntu and now it opens and closes a window repeatitive all the time [18:12] what drains the battery the most? [18:12] peepingtom: its reporting 1920x1080 like it should be [18:13] sorry i am really new to linux [18:13] is it the hardrive spinning, or the cpu?. [18:13] PigeonCluster, yes i first tried snaptic which didnt work so tried to run a command in the terminal which again didnt work [18:13] Dazzler, sorry, my work break is up, back to coding [18:13] nkei0: yes thats right, swap needs to be big enough to act as extra memory when you run out of ram, and also be able to hold the entire contents of your RAM when you hibernate [18:13] hi where can i download the linux header 2.6.35-7 from [18:13] nkei0: normally Ubuntu would have recommended a reasonable amount when you installed it [18:13] Hi. Is there a server that allows you to remote control your desktop (Ubuntu) using the RDP-protocol? [18:14] the_file: i'd suppose it to be the GPU [18:14] <_2> !remote [18:14] hi where can i download the linux headers for 2.6.35-7 from, lucid apt-get update can't find them [18:14] can someone plz tell me why when I run something in terminal it disconnects me from my wireless network i sorted the drivers out for it today with he help of some people here and now everytime i run something in terminal i get disconnected and have to reboot my system is there a fix for this ??? [18:14] veecount: I suppose that running lunux ubuntu would increase battery life on average compared to using windowz [18:14] peepingtom: wonderful, i've managed to grow what i need, but now i gotta fix my swap. (i had two ubuntu's installed) i somehow had a 22gig and a 1gig, so i just deleted the 22gig, but i guess i need to give the 1gig a couple more maybe? [18:14] veecount: or do I have the idea wrong [18:15] hi folks. trying to disable swap partition but rebooting it keeps to get back. commented out on /etc/fstab, added noswap to grub entry too [18:15] nkei0: Yes, 2.5-3 will be enough [18:15] the_file: i dunno, supposingly you're right [18:15] peepingtom: any other ideas? [18:16] peepingtom: alright thanks, guess i'll be idle for like an hour while i resize and whatnot, i'll let you know how it goes [18:16] Helliana: Sorry im not even entirely sure what your problem is, the resoluton seems to be lower than reported? [18:16] peepingtom: well basically all text and menus in KDE are HUGE. [18:16] Helliana, does this affect text and images or only text? iif only text, it's likely a DPI issue [18:16] Helliana but not pictures [18:17] it's an issue with DPI [18:17] you can fix it somewhere in the KDE control ting [18:17] fluxbox is fine [18:17] centre [18:17] panel [18:17] whatever [18:17] peepingtom: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:17] hi guys how do i check if my audio device is detected and properly install on my ubuntu [18:17] peepingtom: installing nvidia drivers would change that? [18:17] oww firefox 4 beta 2 should be out soon [18:17] Helliana: no idea, it's a KDE problem though I guess [18:17] becasue i used softphones and i set analaog device but after sometime is goes to digital and it will not work.. [18:18] so just look for settings regarding DPI [18:18] what should i do to make my printer work? HP psc 1110 series [18:18] firefox 2 beta 2 is out [18:18] in the mozilla daily builds ppa [18:18] it is awesome [18:18] oh wait [18:18] 2PRE [18:18] peepingtom: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:18] peepingtom, Firefox 2? [18:19] He means 4 [18:19] *typo [18:19] Can randr 1.3 handle moving windows between multiple screens, or is xinerama still required for that? [18:19] I was using it. [18:19] I have the scite text editor and when i have to change the setting for the asm language,i need to edit the file /usr/share/scite/asm.properties then i can't edit it because it's read only...is there any better way then becoming a root user? [18:19] how do i install my HP psc 1110? hplip is already installed, but it's not detected [18:20] Warrior`: If this is something you encounter regularly, you may want to change the .properties files to a "programmer" group, and add your user to that group [18:20] i'm having a strange issue during LTS 10.04 install - after partition and base system install grub2 AND lilo fail to install [18:20] Anyways, question, using Ubuntu UNR, and am used to doing 'gksu gnome-appearance-properties' to make the root side of the gui for apps like GDebi and Synaptic to match my personal user interface, however that seems to have no effect except for the root user itself... should I be changing the theme for a different user on UNR? [18:20] tell me something fun I can do with the terminal ;I [18:20] any clues? [18:20] the log just says: grub-installer exited with error code 1 [18:21] the disk is a pair of mirrors from an LSI 1061E controller [18:21] onerosFade...oopsy..i am a noob.confused! [18:21] Failican, try 'sudo apt-get moo' [18:21] ;) [18:21] Xase: Not sure command-wise, but "Ubuntu Tweak" has a setting (I'm on UNR) that matches root to normal GUI [18:21] oneirosFade* [18:21] what does it do =) [18:21] Or you can use Mpd. [18:21] peepingtom: you were correct btw, was a dpi issue. fixed it in the xorg.conf [18:21] oneirosFade, so you recommend just doing it through Tweak? [18:21] Helliana: is a nice nick [18:21] :D [18:22] hi - hows the current state with 10.04 & hotpluging eSATA? should it work out of the box? [18:22] Any idea how to make Maximus a little more friendly? was going to use Namebar, but can't seem to be able to add it @ oneirosFade [18:22] Xase: May be overkill to get an app just to tweak that one setting, but if all else fails that's how I do it [18:22] <_pg_> what utilities can i use to image a windows xp iso to a partition on a internal hdd from a live ubuntu session? I am trying to give it a restore partition it can install windows from essentially. [18:22] 'sudo apt-get moo' asks if you moo'd today. [18:22] i seems that grub2 can't be installed on a LSI RAID ... [18:22] Xase: As far as Maximus and friends, I just usew the standard Gnome interface - I hate the UNR interface [18:22] Ah. [18:23] Does anyone know a decent notification area icon for gnome power daemon? Gnome shell doesnt have one yet and Lucid only comes with an indicator applet power meter [18:23] Okay, well I like the UNR interface, especially the EFL based one =D [18:23] oneirosFade, thank you for the tips... [18:23] <_pg_> what utilities can i use to image a windows xp iso to a partition on a internal hdd from a live ubuntu session? I am trying to give it a restore partition it can install windows from essentially.' [18:23] Xase: No problem [18:23] _pg_ Clonezilla [18:24] this is a hardware RAID device ... [18:24] pfo: why not? [18:24] <_pg_> peepingtom, i need to make the partiotions first in gparted right? [18:24] dunno grub2 won't install on a RAID LUN [18:24] grub-installer exit code 1 ... [18:25] _pg_ you can copy the images over the net to another machine, too [18:25] no mention of the exit codes anywhere on the net ... [18:25] im not very familiar with it, it wont magically install windows for you though, it's more like norton ghost [18:25] _pg_ check their website [18:25] what stands for systat in Ubuntu? [18:25] i have fixed my problem but thanks for your help [18:26] Ahh! I installed Jack and now my normal sound is not working :( [18:26] PigeonCluster, thanks for your help i have resolved my problem.

But opensuse is not going to be in good shape thanks to those shining minds imho, and I have to :( [18:50] <_2> jj_ normal installations are done by "booting" an iso, not "mounting" them ? did you leave some important information out? [18:50] i cant boot [18:50] ok, thanks mates, I'll stick to 32 bits then [18:50] <_2> jj_ ah. that info [18:50] JJ_, http://apcmag.com/the_definitive_dualbooting_guide_linux_vista_and_xp_stepbystep.htm [18:50] question how do I upgrade my Ubuntu 10.4 kernel to the latest release [18:51] isorry i havent got a flash drive or a working cd-rom so i have to mount images i have wndows7 and ubuntu lucid installed i would like to install linuxx server also how would i go about this and what is the caommand to do so [18:51] AlbertoP, 11.3 was devastatingly disappointing release for me... then I pinpointed that pretty much all my problems came from KDE, decided to jump 2 boats simultaneously [18:51] ? [18:51] revarr sudo update-manager -d [18:51] revarr, System -> Administration -> Update Manager [18:51] Hi. What file manager do you recommend except GNOME's nautilius?

[18:52] AlbertoP, I'm regular on both mailing lists, not giving a damn anymore [18:52] <_2> sam898889 very easy i'd say [18:52] sam898889: no, it's very easy, do you want to install windows later? [18:52] sam898889, No, it's not hard. [18:52] peepingtom, revarr: Do not run that command. It will upgrade you to the latest development version, which is unsupported and unreleased at this time. [18:52] sam898889, not at all -- just pop in a liveCD and follow the graphical install :) would this system be Ubuntu-only or will you be dual booting it? [18:52] daedaluz: well I have been there for so a decade. Nothing changed [18:53] daedaluz: and ubuntu seems the only promising distro I see, with a plan for the future [18:53] revarr, System -> Administration -> Update Manager will bring you to the latest stable, not development, release. [18:53] okay how do I get to the latest stable kernel [18:53] sam898889: I installed ubuntu netbook version on my laptop found some awsome guides it was really easy [18:53] run update-manager without the -d option [18:53] sorry I misread your question [18:53] my and peepingtom's version has the same result [18:53] _2 i dont think u understand ive got 2 hhd partition one with vista the other with linux and i would also like to install linux server but how can i if i havent got a spare partation or does tha not matter therfore there would be linux server linux lucid and win 7 on the same machine [18:54] or del win7 and use that for server? [18:54] AlbertoP, yeah, sad but true. As much as I like yast & zypper, the rest is intolerable. KDE 3.5 -> KDE4 was the last nail. Tried to like it, really tried. [18:54] says it is up to date [18:54] JJ_, did you read the article I linked you to yet? http://apcmag.com/the_definitive_dualbooting_guide_linux_vista_and_xp_stepbystep.htm [18:54] yeah [18:54] it only states 2 parttions and 2 os's [18:54] guess this distro can't resolve the brightness error [18:54] i already have 2 [18:54] JJ_, Really. That's a pretty long article to read in under 60 seconds [18:55] daedaluz: I use KDE 4 and like it, but well, suse screwed the base system. It does not turn my laptop off, it does not set disk APM correctly, X crashes. Ubuntu works like a charm... [18:55] anyone know any good programming programs for beginners for free? [18:55] <_2> jj_ "ubiquity" the installer for ubuntu would automaticly start the partitioner "gparted" and allow you to resize/rework your partitions... [18:55] Is there a work around child_rip error on amd64 without having to boot acpi=off? [18:56] sweet so i just run s's sudo mount -o loop file.iso /mount/point/dir/ then it will do the rest for me [18:56] <_2> fearful sysctl maybe ??? idk. [18:56] Failican, You haven't given any specifics of what language you wish to program in, or what you are attempting to develop, so unless you have more specific criteria, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=programming+in+linux [18:57] AlbertoP, suse didn't connect through my cellphone without screwing around in yast. [18:57] JJ_: no, you need to boot off the media in some way if you'd like to install Ubuntu Server. [18:57] AlbertoP, also, WINE implication was pretty broken in 11.3 [18:57] <_2> JJ_ no. that's just how to mount the iso. you'll need a lot more help for installing from there [18:58] !install | JJ_ [18:58] JJ_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

I know the cd drive works cuz I played a music cd on windows [18:58] Clayg: this happened to me too. Try without Compiz [18:58] Failican it's free, IDLE is a decent IDE, as well as eclipse, or simply using the command line. Distribution either comes with Linux (I think) or can be installed through synaptic [18:58] JJ_, It sounds to me like you need read the install documentation. Unfortunately, #ubuntu does not have the resources to hold your hand step-by-step when documentation exists that already does that for you. [18:58] sprung: hm.. ok thanks [18:58] peepingtom, how can i tell? [18:59] Is there a work around child_rip error on amd64 without having to boot acpi=off?

Microsoft pays the OEMs to force them to make linux unusable there [18:59] can anyone link me to a guide on building sub-menus for ubuntu's netboot under pxelinux?

IE ... bin/foo ... like to know what package it is part of it so I can apt-get install it on another box [18:59] Beyecixramd, is there anyway to stop it?.. [18:59] <_2> and jj_ it would probably be easier to remove the hard drive and install it on a maghine that can boot a cd, or fix your hardware than to install from an iso within the running system.....

[19:09] froschi: Wha? [19:10] cablop: shooting from my hip, I'd suggest using Trac for this... [19:10] <^peanut^> coblop: so you basiclly want to host an svn system but have the bugs go to sourceforge? [19:10] <^peanut^> MasterOfDisaster: just what I was going to say =) svn/trac Rocks [19:11] cablop: I'm not sure though if it fits _all_ of your requirements, but certainly worth a look [19:11] froschi: Not having company support is not the same as a lockout conspiracy. I never get direct support when I have to call techs, because I run Ubuntu. [19:11] cablop: and yes, you can host a Trac system with ubuntu (server) :-D [19:11] <^peanut^> colbop: if you have the resources to host your own svn system, then adding trac/svn to it can be fun to setup/manage and maintain... not alot of resources needed really.

(i accepted, 'cause i know how to restore that) is this generally not seen as bug? [19:17] Does anyone have Ubuntu installed on a ARM UMPC? [19:18] i'll try trac for some specific projects... but i think trac is more for issue tracking than svn management, [19:18] !anyone | godstar [19:18] godstar: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:18] godstar, arm yes ... UMPC no [19:18] froschi, you can chain the old grub and the new grub [19:18] <_2> anyone ever incounter video issues where the display works fine unless you "logout/switch tty's/screen saver comes on/or any other thing that would cause it to change" and all of a sudden you can't see anything. period. until reboot. ? [19:18] <^peanut^> cablop. nope, that's the beauty of python. the plugins totally expand what trac and svn can do together. trac and fully manage svn from a gui interface =) [19:18] tgall_foo: What image do I use? Do you have a link? [19:19] <_2> or have a good suggestion about that ? [19:19] well, now i'm about to format the file system... and as always i get very intrigued in what's the fs that best suit my needs [19:19] _2 with what graphics hardware? check launchpad for ubuntu bugs [19:19] <_2> peepingtom intel [19:19] graphical glitch fixed... for now. it was happening on and off. [19:19] cablop: uhu, yeah, that would have been another option, if the new grup saved the old mbr. did it? well, anyway, why is *that* not a tickable option while installing? [19:20] another guy was in here 20min ago regarding that [19:20] _2 I say you should file something at launchpad [19:20] <^peanut^> cablop: I spent about 3 months researching the best setup for a new eningeering project that was happening in my department. They wanted SVN, I wanted something to easily manage it. =) my setup really is simple and I can do most anything with it [19:20] _2 also check your logs using the gnome log viewer [19:20] <_2> peepingtom sure it wasn't me... ? i have asked several times, but with little or no response. [19:20] <^peanut^> cablop: so good luck... =) let me know how it turns out [19:21] I need some help with reinstalling lucid [19:21] i'm about to choose from ext3, ext4 and reiserfs.... well, i think ext3 is the best of them, and if that btrfs came this is the way to switch to it, ext4 makes me worry about data lose... and inconsintencies, an also... well, reiserfs had a nice place in the past, but now some dark clouds hang over it... [19:21] <_2> peepingtom logs don't really have anything that indicates that the system is aware of the problem. i.e. the system probebly thinks it's working fine. [19:21] Is there a work around child_rip error on amd64 without having to boot acpi=off? [19:21] _2 you could try bleeding-edge intel drivers [19:21] from the xorg edgers ppa [19:21] froshi, read the manual of grub2 they say how to chain installing the old grub and it auto chains [19:22] How can I install Ubuntu on an ARM device? [19:22] _2 because its pretty much certainly an issue with your intel graphics driver [19:22] <_2> peepingtom i even tried using vesa driver... i'm kinda wondering if the monitor may not like running at max rez max refresh... [19:22] can i reinstall 10.04 without using iso and loosing data [19:22] froschi: afaik you just ned to install the old grub without removing the new one and it just auto chain it... i'll do thigns that way, so i could keep a simple grub for emergency issues until i get used to the new one [19:22] hi all [19:23] <_2> and wondering why xorg defaults to max everything anyway.... [19:23] is it a laptop? I dont think LCDs really freak out with timing like CRTs did [19:23] <^peanut^> godstar: have you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM [19:23] godstar like a netbook? [19:23] <_2> peepingtom no, desktop with crt [19:23] _2 is it a laptop? [19:23] ty ^peanut^ [19:23] cablop: you mean *reinstall* the old grub? or are we talking about grub1/grub2 here? [19:23] <^peanut^> godstar: np...good luck [19:23] cablop: tablet [19:23] _2 well with a crt, if the problem was your CRT you'd probably hear/see it, wouldnt you? does the CRT go into power save mode? [19:24] cheers [19:24] <^peanut^> =) [19:24] <_2> no it just blanks peepingtom [19:24] fuck it nevermind === Cain` is now known as Cain [19:24] <^peanut^> !lang [19:25] _2 well you could try bleeding edge stuff here: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa or xswat xupdates for older intel drivers [19:25] you can easily uninstall it with ppa-purge when you're done [19:25] I wish they had a PPA of only drivers, but it isn't updated so you're stuck with all this other bleeding-edge stuff [19:26] peepingtom, they do have a PPA with drivers-only [19:26] <_2> hmmm why would it be the driver though, on an older intel card, and also do the same with vesa driver... ? [19:26] https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/drivers-only [19:26] clayg if you're still here you can try this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa and see if it works, uninstall with ppa-purge when youre done experimenting [19:26] Daekdroom: an updated one? [19:26] peepingtom, ill give it a go, thanks [19:27] <_2> peepingtom i'll give it a shot. thanks for the ToD on this. [19:27] peepingtom, it has ati and openchrome drivers for lucid [19:27] btw there's an arm channel in case anyone asks [19:27] #ubuntu-arm [19:27] How do I change system sounds to user defined files (not change sound themes or to "built-in" sounds) and how do I change the loading / splash screen for the OS? Running Lucid. [19:27] Daekdroom we're talking about intel, though [19:27] peepingtom, ah. [19:28] H__ yes, oi've choosen ubuntu, i used the apche svn stack in the past and i liked it, but i'm planning to go one step further as long as my projects are becomming more challenging === neckoox_ is now known as necky === necky is now known as neckoox [19:30] froschi: yes, i'm talking about grub 1/2... there's a guide to replace grub2 ith grub1, but one stage leave both grubs chained, then you can leave them that way until you get used to grub2 and decide to wipe grub1 [19:30] This is really starting to tick me off [19:30] but i'n my opinion grub2 has one failure, they set the grub2 files inside one of the operative systems, and from my point of view a bootloader must be INDEPENDENT of what's installed on the system and able to reside in it's own partition [19:31] Hi. I forgot the password of my Ubuntu VM installlation. What can I do? [19:31] all I want is a public share that is accessbile to windows domain clients [19:31] sundar: as it boots, hold shift and boot into recovery mode [19:31] sundar, it deends on the version, bu google for a way to enter as root with no password [19:31] then use passwd to change the user's password [19:31] sundar, see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword to reset a password [19:31] cablop: well, i'll never get used to 2.... didn't even fully grasp 1... well, in my case, the 'old' and 'new' grub both are 2 i think... and the 2nd (buntu) install could've recognized the 1st and import it's menu.lst. or not? [19:31] cablop: don't tell people to go google [19:32] godstar i think you can get the netbook installer and give it a try [19:32] I've been stuck on this for over an hour now [19:32] absolutely ridiculous [19:32] oCean_: i don't want to send people to google, but i emembered i searched it in the past when i needed the same thing [19:32] but that depends on the version [19:33] so i just pointing to the fact i got the solution in that place two years ago [19:33] <^peanut^> karmst: if the folder you are tryin to share owned by u? [19:33] * resno looks around [19:33] <^peanut^> is* [19:33] I am running ubuntu with kernel 2.6.32-23, how do i update the kernel? [19:33] yes [19:33] cablop: gonna try that now bbl [19:33] I installed Samba [19:33] <^peanut^> karmst: ok, go into "Computer" on your desktop or from the "Places" menu [19:34] it's something like booting linux with just one user mode and no password, then you log as root, then go to shell and create a pasword for root, then log in a normal environment and set a new password for your user, i ican't rememeber the rest of the details, but that's how i did, [19:34] <^peanut^> karmst: oh, are you talking about a smb server share? or the one through the ubuntu desktop? [19:34] brian: what kernel do you want to upgrade to? [19:34] I just need it to be accessible by windows clients [19:34] I want to sniff the traffic for an application on ubuntu? How to do it?Need help :) [19:34] I was trying to setup Samba [19:34] peepingtom: Is there a newer kernel then what i have? [19:35] but something doesn't allow for public connections through it [19:35] !samba [19:35] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[19:35] <^peanut^> karmst: well, you can do all the file sharing right from the GUI [19:35] so I can remove samba [19:35] and just use ubuntu? [19:35] well, now i'm unsure what file system to use [19:35] brian: not in Ubuntu Lucid. Canonical makes modifications to the kernels that it compiles. You can use the latest builds, but won't be able to use any proprietary drivers [19:36] <^peanut^> open up your "Places" menu, then choose Home, then the folder you want to share. Right click and choose "Sharing options" [19:36] peepingtom: Okay, thanks. I wasn't sure because i have an android phone and my kernel is 2.6.34 on there, wasn't sure if that just worked with android or not. Thanks [19:36] <^peanut^> karmst: you could still use samaba. there should also be a gui for that as well. === ND-work is now known as NightDragon [19:36] peepingtom, ZykoticK9: thanks a lot, recovery mode worked like a charm. :) [19:36] <^peanut^> samba* [19:37] ;) [19:37] hey guys [19:37] quick question [19:37] i am looking for a way to install windows on client computers with PXE , using a ubuntu box as my server [19:37] !install [19:37] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [19:38] it shows how to install TFTP servers :( [19:38] guest acess is grayed out [19:38] access* [19:38] ^peanut^: and the help doesn't tell the packages' names either [19:39] <^peanut^> karmst: from the sharing options to share a folder I'm not really sure. [19:39] ^peanut^, if you're setting up windows networking on linux, it can be quite confusing for the novice. If you need help, be sure to check out #samba [19:39] <^peanut^> froschi: if you install the 2 samba packages from the software center that I mentioned above, then run the samba configuration app from system tools, you should be good to go [19:40] karmst, see if there is any option in syatem=>admin=>users and groups for enabling guest [19:40] help register [19:40] <^peanut^> sprung: yea... =) I've walk this road many a time =) [19:40] footprint, type /help register for more information join #freenode [19:40] <^peanut^> ubuntu has made it pretty easy [19:40] !register > footprint [19:40] footprint, please see my private message [19:41] ^peanut^: well, the help says, it's exported via webdav, which i would like to use very much for some days for other reasons. is this still via samba? not apache+webdav or so? [19:41] oh sorry footprint its /msg nickserv help register [19:41] ...if it's not a 'button is missing' kinda bug, it's a doc's book i think... [19:41] <^peanut^> froschi: webdav and samba having nothing to do with each other. Web dav as the name implies is a web service run from apache [19:42] NightDragon do you have a copy of WinPE or are you hoping for an open source replacement? === gandhijee_ is now known as gandhijee [19:43] ^peanut^: rite, that's what i said :) to i seem to have to install that... just wouldn't know that as a noobi === joona is now known as joona_ [19:43] peepingtom: i can probably get it.

I may have missed something you said [19:43] no [19:43] no options [19:43] (i'm guessing in a windows server CD folder somewhere) [19:44] how do i install eclipse in 10.04? [19:44] <^peanut^> ubuntu software center [19:44] Hey, sorry if I'm interrupting, but I keep getting segmentation faults when I try to launch Synaptic or Fusion Icon or Compiz settings manager :( [19:45] ^peanut^: doesnt go [19:45] Jigal: my prefeed method is to decompress the eclipse file in the opt folder [19:45] joona, are you running as sudo? [19:45] Jigal, i'm under the impression you need to add the Partner Repo and add Sun's (Oracle's) Java for Eclipse to work correctly. Just remember people chatting about it - don't use it myself. [19:45] i fdon;t like the eclipse packaged in the repos, it's harsd for you to configure more than one eclipse setup as many evelopers do [19:45] yeah [19:45] Anyone know why the livecd would be prompting me to install proprietary drivers, but a fresh install isn't [19:45] <^peanut^> Jigal: have you run apt-get update lately? I see it and when I do a search for eclipse in the usc [19:45] joona, paste the full error to pastebin [19:45] !pastebin | joona [19:45] joona: 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. [19:46] It [19:46] is there any way to grow a partition without moving it in gparted? [19:46] Jigal, using the repo eclipse just kepp you with just one version of it... and eclipse don't need os integration,it depends on your needs [19:46] how would i do a clean install of firefox ? like purge firefox so to speak [19:46] NightDragon: no idea, but you can definitely use pxelinux and a tftp server on linux as you could on Windows, it's making the window image that's a new skill [19:46] is there something like ollydbg for windows? [19:46] @sprung, It's nothing special but just a plain "Segmentation Fault" [19:46] http://www.wiul.org/ you know this was the third hit on google for "windows pxe install" [19:47] avg_guy: current ubuntu has the exra integration through a firefox ubuntu plugin or something, just remove that plugin [19:47] nkei0, gparted should grow your partition, given that it is on the same drive and it has space to do so [19:47] peepingtom: wouldn't i more or less just want to have some sort of PE enviro that will have an installation CD mounted? [19:47] debsum: http://paste.ubuntu.com/466082/ [19:47] avg_guy, be sure to move/rename the settings in your home folder (even purge doesn't touch these!), probably ~/.mozilla/firefox [19:47] <^peanut^> cablop: not sure but I think ubuntu would perfer for people to use the packages that are somewhat supported by ubuntu. I've seen other people in here in the past have users un-install the eliscpe package that wasn't installed via the repos [19:48] sprung: Yeah, i've attempted it once before, however, it failed right at the end... I'm thinking the grow goes okay, but the move is failing, and when it does it reverts back to how it was. [19:48] joona, What version of Ubuntu are you running? [19:48] nkei0, and it gives no error messages or warnings about why it reverts?

How to do it?Need help :) [19:52] anirvana: wireshark i think is a good app for that if i remember right [19:52] ^peanut^: well, that's true, but in fact eclipse is configured per user, not per station, i was using it for years and i clearly know it, you just decompress it in windows and start using it, it's the same elsewhere, how yto install some plugins in eclipse? you just decompress them inside the eclipse folder... so one way or another you'll end breaking the eclipse in ubuntu [19:52] <^peanut^> anirvana: yea, wireshark [19:52] danpwright, try to open console and say: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid (your network's ESSID/name) [19:53] anirvana, you might want to check out wireshark -as nkei0 also suggested ;) [19:53] nkei0, No. please be patient, I am typing. [19:53] in fact eclipse in ubuntu is splited accross many folders, making really hard to add a new plugin to it [19:53] sure [19:53] danpwright, then sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed (your encryption key) [19:53] I get no such device [19:54] no wlan0 [19:54] = [19:54] *? [19:54] i also use three eclipse at the same time, one for php, another for jee and a plain old eclipse with visual editor... i just compress e compres them or move their folders between OS installs or just move them to a new computer and carry all plugins and settings, it's easier [19:54] Confused here too...but the wireless can see the network [19:54] sprung, why you told him to keep patince? As per I see he only aksed once? correct me if I am wrong? [19:54] <_gpg_> hi [19:55] danpwright, do sudo iwconfig [19:55] then paste the output here: paste.ubuntu.com [19:55] and share the link [19:55] <^peanut^> cablop: wow, far to much work to setup and deal with that for me. my engineers are mostly hardware (fpga/dsp/asic) or software C++/php/perl guys. and the very basics work very well for them =) [19:55] Hi, are there any binaries for VDPAU for Ubuntu? [19:56] E.g. for mplayer, mythtv? [19:56] abhijit, Thank you for your concern, he jumped to questioning whether he should format his drive and I didn't want him to do anything rash. [19:56] <^peanut^> imho: eclipse is bloat ware. but I do find that alot of people like it. =) [19:56] sprung, I am takling about danpwright [19:56] dunno ^peanut^ i was using the same eclipse i setted up four or more years ago and i have reinstalled windowes 4 or 5 times with no need to recreate that eclipse in all that time :P [19:57] andrewe: I believe so, you shoud try using something like synaptic or kpackagekit (on KDE) to find the package [19:57] abhijit, Thank you for your concern about yet another person I am chatting with, you certainly are showing a lot of concern. I did so because he repeated in less than a minute. [19:57] abhijit, Do I have your permission to continue yet, or are you going to show some more concern [19:57] sprung, danpwright diddnt reapted his question. he asked only once. just have a look at logs [19:57] joona: I use aptitude, but there are no packages for mplayer of mythtv that contain vdpau support [19:58] Can anyone tell me why 64-bit is not recommended for most users? [19:58] andrewe: or then write this to console: "sudo apt-get install (your package)" [19:58] or apt-cache search (package search keyword) [19:58] s/of/or/g [19:58] sprung, hmm you continue......... [19:58] in my opinion, as long as eclipse won't integrate with the operative system you don't really need to force a fake integration on it that would make your life harder [19:58] <^peanut^> sprung: abhijit, please, stop [19:58] abhijit, oh i see you are here to show some more concern. Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, I will discuss it with you there. [19:58] wabash: because flash requires a wrapper that makes it horribly unstable [19:58] !offtopic | abhijit [19:58] abhijit: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:58] hmm [19:58] How would i monitor the condition of an External Raid enclosure in Ubuntu? [19:58] peepingtom: Flash the only reason? [19:58] wabash: it is for me ;) [19:59] joona: mplayer pretends to support vdpau (with -vo vdpau), but the CPU tells me otherwise. [19:59] hmm.. [19:59] and vdpauinfo returns some information. [19:59] peepingtom: nowadays flash runs wrapped, no matter os or browser [19:59] nkei0, you need to run badblocks. sudo badblocks -nvs /dev/yourdevice [19:59] cablop: not with nspluginwrapper it doesnt [19:59] andrewe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037625 [20:00] sprung: Do i need to be in a live environment to do that?

I forget what parts I had added and am trying to remove it completely, but don't want to fubar my installation. [20:02] it works admirably but it still makes flash crash a LOT [20:02] joona: thanks for that link, I already got that. Unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem. [20:02] sprung: Currently, I'm trying a resize/move operation that's a little less work on the system right now. Instead of trying to add 75gig I only told it to add 25 and i'm going to see how that works. [20:02] peepingtom, flash crashes a lot anyway :) [20:02] oh [20:02] joona, I assume it is working as it can see the network [20:02] well flash under nspluiginwrapper currently has that horrible bug that doesnt allow you to click on flash elements [20:02] joona: probably because in the forum they don't use Lucid. [20:03] <^peanut^> nkei0: shrunk my 250gb disk from 250 to 80gb and it took about 1 1/2 hours. so I [20:03] going with ext3... i got no answer here so i guess ext4 is not that popular enough [20:03] nkei0, Right, but let me explain to you the problem. It's crashing because when gparted is doing the resize or move operation, the program terminates because it encounters what it believes may be a bad sector on your hard drive. Let me know if you understand that part. [20:03] <^peanut^> I'd think it should go pretty fast for ya [20:03] getting this error http://pastebin.com/QcpvVRBb when trying to install eclipce through usc [20:03] Where can I get all releases? I need to find info for 9.10. [20:04] Anybody know how to run wvdial [20:04] ^peanut^, usually true but he's encountering sector errors that are crashing gparted [20:04] sprung: Yeah, i do, i was just saying that it'll have to wait until that finishes.

[21:14] i just needed that other device for a vm, and of course i'm unwilling to load the os twice...

[21:14] <_2> cablop ummm over write the "wrong" boot loader with the "right" boot loader is the best way to "remove" a BOOT loader [21:15] I'm looking for help with burning an MDF image to a DVD, which is split into 4 files (thething.mds, thething.mdf, thething.md0, thething.md1), Brasero doesn't seem to handle them all at once.

Thanks Ubuntu lol [21:18] I guess il have no idea when this problem is resolved either. [21:18] seancot: what are you referring to?

[21:21] i mean by reading your comments [21:21] Will ubuntu release a new stable version or will this just drag on ? [21:21] Ah i see [21:22] seanscot_: stable version of what ? [21:22] Lucid Lynx [21:22] erUSUL: Hola? [21:22] seanscot_: it is stable [21:22] lol [21:22] iFrankZ: go to #ubuntu-es [21:22] iFrankZ: /join #ubuntu-es [21:22] How can it be stable if so many people arent able to use thier mouse or keyboard? [21:22] seanscot_: how many ? [21:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477859&page=3 [21:23] Tons of posts about it , but no definitive solution [21:23] seanscot_: have you logged a bug ? [21:23] Tbh ive not , never done it before. How do I go about it? [21:24] seanscot_: there are 30 posts, mostly containing 5 people, that's not really "all these people" is it [21:24] !bug | seanscot_ [21:24] seanscot_: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [21:24] Ikonia , try googling it [21:24] theres more than that thread [21:24] seanscot_: and yet no-ones logged or mentioned a bug..... [21:24] No point in just being an apologist just for the sake of it lol [21:24] seanscot_: no one is being an apologist [21:25] If it works in 9.10 and suddenly stops working here then it is a problem. [21:25] seanscot_: but you're making wild statements that the OS is unstable, which is nonsense, there may be a bug which effects a specific user component, but unless you can find a bug logged for it, how are ubuntu meant to know there is a problem [21:25] the keyboard and mouse still work fine in xp === sebner_ is now known as sebner [21:26] Well its just a bit crazy for me that plenty people are having the same problem that they didnt have in 9 [21:26] thats a bug [21:26] what's the prefered seting about repositories? [21:26] seanscot_: so instead of making these wild statements, check the bug database to find if a bug has been logged, maybe even a fix, or log a bug so ubuntu know there is a problem and can fix it [21:26] seanscot_: plenty ?? [21:26] seanscot_: how many [21:26] seanscot_: a bug is not "unstable" [21:26] to prefer packages from lucid-updates, or lucid-security? [21:26] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:26] my mouse doesn't work in the one before lynx [21:26] I got a problem concerning the poulsbo drivers for lucid lynx. Everything is shaking on my Vaio P. Any advise?

[21:27] seanscot_: my question would be whether this is a function of upgrade, or does the problem also exist when you run 10.04 livecd. [21:27] seanscot_: so instead of making false comments in here, I suggest you search the bug database for a known bug, or log a new one [21:28] hey thune, its both [21:28] seanscot_: other tests would include stopping X and using GDM to test your mouse on the console, to see if the problem is with ubuntu and your mouse, or your mouse and Xorg [21:28] Upgrade and live cd [21:28] seanscot_: as you can see the forum post it is suggested the problem is with the ATI closed source driver, with is nothing to do with ubuntu [21:29] Thats way above my head mate. Ubuntu is idiot proof for idiots like me lol I dont pretend to know jack shit about ubuntu but i like the ethics behind it [21:29] so I changed some alsa options in /etc/modprobe.d [21:29] and now my computer stops at a _ [21:29] seanscot_: control your language [21:29] blinking underscore [21:29] But how come it wasnt a problem in version 9? [21:29] seanscot_: you'll need to log a bug, however checking the supportability/compatability of your video card is always a good idea too [21:29] seanscot_: because the ATI drivers have changed and device support has changed === osxfr33k is now known as F3d0rA [21:30] Yeah. The video card is fine though [21:30] is there any kernel command line option to disable alsa? [21:30] seanscot_: that's the purpose of livecd. if it doesn't work in livecd, there will be some pain to get it to work, or it won't work. [21:30] seanscot_: no it's not [21:30] seanscot_: the video card controls the interaction with the desktop and the mouse [21:30] e.g. vga=791 & noapic & acpi=off, one like alsa=off ? [21:30] seanscot_: you've got a problem with your mouse on the desktop, odds are high the video card is "the" problem [21:30] erUSUL: I tried to convert the mdf to iso, but the mdf2iso tool was saying: "thething.mdf is already ISO9660" [21:30] Hello.

I dont find the option to make the title bar of each window transparent [21:31] uh, is there a way to have that noisy harddisk park (even putting the data integrity at risk on rw-fs's?) and stay down for longer than 10 seconds? [21:31] seanscot_: read post #17 in that forum thread, it's quite enlightening [21:31] hello every [21:31] i just installed carmic but i canno get in, mi monitor goes black [21:32] lobito: AFAIK there's no option in compiz to do so. you may use emerald, but nobody makes themes for it anymore [21:32] Well I know that about running the LIVE cd first now, But I guess because I was running a working version of ubuntu already and it asked me to upgrade that it would be ok [21:32] mikeru: my problem is that the mdf is split into 4 files and i can burn only 1 image at a time, which means renaming 1 mdf file wouldn't help me [21:32] eny help? [21:32] It should let you know that your keyboard or mouse might stop working if you do [21:32] Kapsi: use 4 discs ? [21:32] seanscot_: thats a reasonable assumption, however hardware support does change, and as Ubuntu has no control over the ATI device support, that could be an issue [21:32] seanscot_: ATI is a known problem hardware on any linux platform. [21:32] I've seen this on windows and wonder if there is a linux equivalent: is it possible to temporarily buffer all hard-disk writes to RAM, for example while a laptop is being moved between rooms? [21:33] Kaspi: entonces haz « mv thething.mdf thething.iso » and burn it like that [21:33] mikeru: it is one image - one disc, split into 4 files [21:33] Well thanks for educating me on that ikonia (not sarcasm) [21:33] what is ATI btw? [21:33] kaspi: search for 2iso in synaptic, lots of converters [21:33] seanscot_: if you don't know that sort of thing, it can eat you [21:33] seanscot_: you're video card vendor [21:33] ie. mdf2iso [21:33] mines is NVIDIA [21:33] help ti get in karmi? [21:34] seanscot_: are you not the first poster in that thread ? [21:34] peepingtom: I already tried this one, and I was writing it here.. [21:34] mi monitor stop signal and goes black [21:34] Ive not posted anything in the thread yet [21:34] seanscot_: do you know (can you) use pastebin ? [21:34] erUSUL: that will burn only that renamed part of the whole image [21:34] would I not need my mouse for it? [21:34] seanscot_: before the mouse hangs do you have time to open a web browser and paste some text [21:35] seanscot_: can you access a console (does the keyboard still work) [21:35] Ive got a bluetooth chip and mouse which was installed in my previous ubuntu install [21:35] No it just freezes [21:35] seanscot_: is your keyboard bluetooth too ? [21:36] seanscott: you can use a softmouse using the numpad.....anyone remember the sequence to activate it? [21:36] peepingtom: his keyboard is dead too [21:36] ok its workin gnow [21:36] seanscot: time for a new keyboard, or a crappy temporary used one so you can use http://nialldonegan.me/2007/08/24/turning-you-number-pad-into-a-mouse-in-linux/ [21:37] help [21:37] shit, hanging again [21:37] seanscot_: stop with the language please [21:37] seanscot_: is your keyboard also bluetooth ? [21:38] so I changed some alsa options in /etc/modprobe.d and now my computer freezes at a blinking underscore _. is there any kernel command line option like acpi=off to disable ALSA? [21:38] Any else ideas? [21:39] mikeru: you can blacklist your sound card's kernel module in /etc/blacklist [21:39] mikeru: although alsa may try to start and then freak out, I dont know [21:39] peepingtom: problem is, it freezes. I can't log in. [21:39] just plugged in a USB external floppy. rebooted. Floppy shows in Computer, but no response to double click. ? [21:40] mikeru: can you boot to a recovery session from GRUB? [21:40] peepingtom: same thing. [21:40] Hi there, after installing Lucid I'm noticing that every time I hit "Ctrl-C" in the terminal, it prints out "^C" .. how do I disable thsi? [21:40] already tried that [21:40] mikeru: Boot using a liveCD then and mount your hard disk [21:40] ? [21:40] peepingtom: that's exactly what I was trying to avoid :I [21:40] :| [21:41] great greg [21:41] mikeru: you did this to yourself :D [21:41] BigMao: normal behavior. Ctrl-C in a Terminal ends a running command. were you trying to copy? in that case, it's Shift-Ctrl-C [21:41] It works for about 10 seconds [21:41] Anyone have experience using Crestron Cresnet hardware with a Linux computer? [21:41] but i'd think a recovery session would not load alsa.....maybe it's something else? [21:42] mikeru, that's not what I want. I want to end the running command, but I don't like the "^C" character showing up on the terminal [21:42] My laptop is showing that I have No network devices available after a fresh install [21:42] I can't figure out how to get ubuntu to see my hardware [21:43] does somebody know how to install 3D on Linux 10.04? I try to use programs in 3D and they don't work, I also type glxinfo | grep -i direct on term and nothing happends T_T === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [21:43] seanscot:iFrankZ, what video hardware do you have? [21:43] After some updates, perhaps a month or 3 ago the following device doesnt work: It gives a black screen after gdm login, or when the screensaver pops in: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [21:43] hurr [21:43] iFrankZ: how about just "glxinfo | grep direct" ? [21:44] peepingtom: so sad, yet rather weird. my macbook 5,2 freezes if snd_hda_intel model=mb5 yet works albeit with bad quality when model=mbp3 [21:44] peepingtorn: how can I check it? Sorry for the noob question xD, and glxinfo | grep direct doesn't works x.x [21:44] What can i do to fix the driver / workaround until someone makes an updated intel driver available ? [21:44] * PigeonCluster just got ponged by b-man!

I'm assuming youve checked the mac section of ubuntuforums, I bet it's happened to someone else [21:46] PigeonCluster, did that, nothing happened [21:46] peepingtom: ...not xd.

It wont start lately [21:49] Hmm, the current intel driver Ubuntu uses is unusable for the Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset. OR 8xx chips. Ive read about the issue. Just downgrade to the previous intel driver and all things will be fine! :) Why dont they do that ? [21:50] cvexkeks: did you change your font size to #.# ? it won't work with non integer font sizes (rather stupid) [21:50] cvexkeks: it also seems to have bugs when the computer comes out of sleep. [21:50] gwibber is truly one of the buggiest applications included in ubuntu [21:50] iFrankZ: Here's the deal, ATI has dropped support for r300 series cards with their proprietary driver, that's why you couldn't download one using the "hardware drivers" dialog in Ubuntu [21:50] didn't change anything [21:50] hey ubunters [21:50] I have to contantly move the mouse in order to not have to reboot after the screen does black and wont display graphics again. [21:51] the bugs that are explained here are sometimes sooooo weird [21:51] how do i exit the terminal from the '>' symbol? [21:51] I cant set another timeout on the screensaver either, because if i open its gui the screen also goes black :) [21:51] Mirambo: you might disable screensaver [21:51] peepingtorn: that means that I can't fix my problem? xD [21:51] iFrankZ: please paste the results of lsmod into this form and give me the link [21:51] thune3: How, if not from the screensaver gui ? [21:52] iFrankZ: No I think there is decent 3d support in the open source drivers [21:52] dolt: crtl + C [21:52] dolt: ctrl c ? [21:52] ubuntu-fr [21:52] dolt: or finish the command properly and hit enter [21:52] Gwibber is still in startup, but there is no process in system monitor [21:52] thanks silver, i'll give that a try and confirm. [21:52] Mirambo: are you trying the "i915.modeset=1" workaround? [21:52] thune3: Yes, but ive not added that grub line, should i ? [21:52] I installed ubuntu server on an old laptop.. the pcmcia network card worked find during install when it was fetching the timezone- but at login, the card no longer worked [21:53] bonsoir [21:53] thanks you too erU [21:53] Mirambo: it's worth a try. have you tried it and it fixed your issues?

Every once in a while my Ubuntu Lucid installation goes spastic. It's fine on my pentium 4 system, but on my main system, i sometimes lose sound (and it defaults to dummy output) and cannot mount drives etc as it says I lack permissions (which I don't). also when I try to restart it just logs me out and won't restart. [21:57] Mirambo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes workaround A. i'm not clear if you have tried it. If you haven't you can add "i915.modeset=1" to grub line on boot to try it.

[22:02] old/older [22:02] shiv_, if not a restart of x or even a reboot but I have found some cursor themes not responding well [22:02] coz_, I am hit by this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/459647 [22:03] Mirambo: i don't know. this 8xx problem is an embarrasment as far as i'm concerned. [22:04] thune3: Yeah, why use a less good driver if one wouldnt have to ? :) / Amazing! [22:04] urthmover how long u been using ubuntu [22:04] Mirambo: to just make grub change stick: in /etc/default/grub you can change/add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i915.modeset=1" and then run update-grub. [22:04] shiv_, yes ...unfortunately I have seen this happen with some people [22:05] shiv_, apparenlty not everyone is effected and I am not sure what is the difference between them [22:05] thune3: Hmm, ok but id rather see an intel driver update that adds this line. [22:05] I tried the fix in post #45 but then my window borders are gone [22:05] shiv_, right now on Edubuntu....

[22:09] i have grub 2 [22:09] thune3: This how easy this could be: Add +1 on the micro or patchlevel versions of the intel driver. Have it add this line to /etc/default/grub and run update-grub. I cant see how this could be bad, can you ? [22:09] Turbolinux: do you see anything in networkmanager?

Why are they using the most crappy versions of most anything they can find ? [22:11] cannot change the number of desktops either. I tried form CCSM as well . No luck [22:11] Peepingtom: No because I create my connection then I set it for connecting. When I try to start the connection it doesn't start. [22:11] gurudrew, lvpm is the motor behind Wubi > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [22:11] so no one has any advice for this? :\ [22:11] peepingtom, My mistake. I used LVPM to 'transfer' to an ext3 partition. [22:11] Everything appeared to have worked well [22:11] but when I reboot my grub is all trashed [22:11] It seems Ubuntu didn't recognize built-in modem. [22:12] j800r: For what ? [22:12] I have to go back to my old bootloader and reboot into the virtual disk [22:12] I got a problem concerning the poulsbo drivers for lucid lynx. Everything is shaking on my Vaio P. Any advise? [22:12] Can't install gparted, requires dummy package libparted0 but can't install it since the package libparted0debian1 is of higher version [22:12] where to report problems like that? [22:12] Mirambo: there was a decision made for 10.04 release, given the state of drivers at the time and the release window. I believe it was an unfortunate happening. [22:12] daedaluz: don't mix versions [22:13] thune3: They are using other packages with bugs written against them, but the bugs have already been solved years ago even perhaps. [22:13] ikonia, I have only official repos enabled + wine and wine has no dependencies on libparted [22:13] daedaluz: so what's looking for the higher version of libparted ? [22:13] Mirambo my Ubuntu lucid installation would screw up on my main system. sound would stop working and revert to dummy output, mounting wouldn't work and it'd say i lacked permissions, and if i tried to restart it would just lock me out. all of these seem linked [22:13] Turbolinux: if you can create a Mobile Broadband connection in nm, doesnt that mean that NM detected your card? [22:14] j800r: what's the error when you try to mount ? [22:14] ikonia, looking for lower version. check description of libparted0 in synaptic [22:14] TurboLinux: if there was no support, there would be no module loaded and NM would not detect the card [22:14] Can anyone gimme an advice how to install ubuntu from usb drive without any problems ? [22:14] j800r: Whats this "Main system" ? [22:14] daedaluz: you're looking for a lower version? [22:14] daedaluz: or gparted is ? [22:14] whats the fastest way to download 1 page on a site, such that the image links / css links etc... will all be linked to the full path to the server? i.e. not relative paths, but full paths. [22:14] <^peanut^> arooni: wget? [22:14] arooni: you can't change the html code you download [22:14] Mirambo Intel Core 2 Quad, 4GB ddr3 RAM, Nvidia GTX 260, 10,000rpm WD Raptor drive [22:14] arooni: it will download the html the server generates [22:15] ikonia, gparted ofcourse [22:15] !usb | discozohan [22:15] discozohan: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [22:15] oh, and Striker II Extreme motherboard [22:15] j800r: you said a few minutes ago it was a pentium 4 [22:15] ikonia, so i have to manually rewrite the html for full paths to assets? [22:15] j800r: VmWare related issue ? Or do you call your fastest computer your "Main system" ? [22:15] arooni: or script it [22:15] ikonia, gparted is looking for dummy package that's looking for lower version, to be precise [22:15] ikonia no. i said it works fine on my pentium 4. not my main system [22:15] daedaluz: are you sure your repo's just not out of sync as I've got hparted here fine [22:15] <^peanut^> arooni: no, the webserver and code on it generate the html output to a webpage [22:15] j800r: what's the error when you try to mount ? [22:15] Peepingtom: But I saw detecting messages in System Log Viewer software. [22:15] gurudrew: Can you elaborate on "my grub is all trashed"? [22:15] Mirambo the latter [22:15] ikonia, open synaptic and try for yourself [22:15] ikonia, no, I did full refresh [22:15] j800r: Ahs [22:15] How do you make the network card visible? [22:16] j800r: Aha [22:16] I've tried what seems to be everything [22:16] ikonia it says i lack permissions, but i know it's linked to the over problems cause they all happen together [22:16] does anyone know if CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL is enabled in the default x86_64 kernel in 10.04? [22:16] j800r: what's the exact error [22:16] Turbolinux: have you looked at this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G/Probing you need this info in order to debug [22:16] daedaluz: can't test not got an ubuntu box to hand here [22:16] j800r: Be root when mounting Aux filesystems. Thats no bug. [22:16] daedaluz: I installed gparted 2 days ago though, no issues, so I'm wondering what's been updated and when [22:16] i'm afraid i cannot reproduce it as i'm on Win 7 at the mo [22:16] ikonia, so where to report this problem [22:17] good luck, feel free to paste whatever to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and share the results with us [22:17] Mirambo they usually automount [22:17] daedaluz: if possible I'd get a few people in here to validate it first, as it really does sound like your repo is out of sync with the others [22:17] j800r: Using Selinux ? [22:17] <^peanut^> ikonia I'll check it out. gparted install? [22:17] ^peanut^: good man, sure [22:17] <^peanut^> ikonia: np [22:18] Mirambo no [22:18] daedaluz: lets see what ^peanut^ comes up with [22:18] TurboLinux: once you've gathered info as indicated at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G/Probing you'll have some productive googling, check ubuntuforums.org [22:18] not to my knowledge at least :\ [22:18] why does syndaemon (for the Synaptic touchpad tools) not disable the touchpad when I use keys like Control and Alt in emacs? [22:18] j800r: That can always screw things up, plus its a crappy system. A useless bandaid to the very secure OpenSource OS. [22:18] Mirambo: please don't talk nosense, it's an effective tools when used properly [22:18] <^peanut^> ikonia:, deadaluz: upon package selection, libparted0 will be installed. just no version info yet [22:19] ^peanut^: keep going...... [22:19] what's a way to see what options were set in the default kernel? i used to check /proc/config.gz in gentoo [22:19] blakkheim: /boot/config-$(uname -r) [22:19] Mirambo: foolishness! apparmor is easier, though. too bad ubuntu doesnt have any good repositories or GUIs like suse did in its prime [22:19] ikonia: Its been disruptive for no reason for many people. Sometimes, automagically servers wont start due to it etc so Most people Just Turn It Off :) [22:20] <^peanut^> ikonia:, deadaluz: libparted0 (from .../libparted0_2.2-5ubuntu5.1_i386.deb) is the one it installs === siriusly is now known as siriusnova [22:20] 'im trying to replace my fstab file with a backup i made but im booting off a live cd how do i get the drive as raed write [22:20] peepingtom :) ... That too could be interfearing with things he has issues with. [22:20] erUSUL: thanks [22:20] why would you need extra security for Linux anyway. It's about the safest OS around atm :\ [22:20] ikonia, ^peanut^ exactly what I was trying to convey to you people [22:20] j800r: Amen! [22:20] ^peanut^: lets see if it installs [22:20] hey, new to ubuntu. struggling with getting flash working in firefox (think it's because my system's 64 bit). can anyone help or tell me where to find some good old nooby help? [22:20] what would be the best firewall to use when you have wireless internet? [22:20] <^peanut^> ikonia: it did. =) [22:21] Jordan_U, It's trashed, it's not working properly, Ubuntu is misnamed as netboot or something and it says 'Other OS' for my pre-existing install, which won't boot because NTLDR is missing [22:21] Peepingtom: I will do this. Thank you for your help. [22:21] only "security" i use on Linux is a damn p2p blocklist lol [22:21] bsmith093, do u want to edit a read-only drive? [22:21] j800r: The Flask / NSA system now called Selinux. Geesh :P [22:21] tbiddle: "sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" should work [22:21] daedaluz: ok - so it worked fine for him, so either there are conflicts from an external or development repo (backports or unstable) or your repo is out of sync [22:21] SuNk8: yes [22:21] TurboLinux: no problem, good luck you'll get the info you need [22:21] ^peanut^: great test, thanks [22:21] <^peanut^> ikonia:, deadaluz: once installed I ran it and it seems to be running fine. [22:21] i need to tweak the fstab file back the way it was [22:21] Redcl0ud: your wireless router already has a firewall [22:22] gurudrew: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [22:22] Redcl0ud: you shouldn't need one [22:22] <^peanut^> ikonia:, deadaluz: would do a shrink just to make sure all is well, but that will lag my laptop =) [22:22] how is the ACL support in lucid? [22:22] !firewall > Redcl0ud [22:22] Redcl0ud, please see my private message [22:22] <^peanut^> ikonia: anytime bro [22:22] well, what I usually do is open a terminal and type in 'sudo nautilus' Then I can do what I want... hehe... [22:22] ikonia, so switch repo to something else, say, swedish, and try my luck again -_- [22:22] bsmith093, well, what I usually do is open a terminal and type in 'sudo nautilus' Then I can do what I want... hehe... [22:22] k thanks [22:22] i think to deal with just three lvl permissions is outdated [22:22] cablop: as good as in any other linux ... what do you want to do ? [22:22] daedaluz: worth it, got to be careful that you don't have "poprosed" or "unstable" repos enabled too [22:22] well, giving it a try [22:23] ikonia, been using lunix for good 8 years, I know my way around pretty well~ [22:23] i want to set more complex permissions settings, i want to be able to set some folders, images by example, readable for some mebers, invisible for other members and editable by a few members [22:23] <^peanut^> daedaluz: so are you saying that the swedish repo's are broken? [22:23] thune3: Thanks very much. This computer works again! :) [22:23] so I'll take it as a yes?

[22:23] ^peanut^, no, the finnish ones. giving sweden a go now [22:23] i don't want to make that settings around my user or around root user or making other users members of root group... this is why ACL would be the best option [22:23] cablop: it integrates with nautilus [22:24] <^peanut^> daedaluz: oh oh ok...sorry I kinda butted into that chat...=). [22:24] ^peanut^: great test, nice job [22:24] ok, it integrates, but do linux manage those permissions always? what if an user accesss via ssh or using xfce... do still acl apply? [22:24] <^peanut^> ikonia: ty [22:24] cablop: you have to install nautilus-actions too [22:25] cablop: it should obbey them if pressent [22:25] erUSUL: and... what if they use not nautilus but konqueror or ssh?

No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [22:42] I use the Ubuntu font for my Rummage Sale Signs. :) [22:42] hi [22:42] !info msttcorefonts [22:42] Package msttcorefonts does not exist in lucid [22:43] <^peanut^> Dr_Willis: nice =) [22:43] on the ubuntu hp, there is 64 bit not recommended. [22:43] Whats wrong abt 64 bit> [22:43] ? [22:43] e-funktion: use what you want. [22:43] mfilipe: theres a package in the repo with Microsoft fonts, or their free fonts anyway, plus you can use fonts from Windows [22:43] sebsebseb, ubuntu-restricted-extras I believe has that package [22:43] !info ttf-mscorefonts-installer [22:43] ttf-mscorefonts-installer (source: msttcorefonts): Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.2 (lucid), package size 35 kB, installed size 196 kB [22:43] Dr_Willis: there must be a reason why they dont recommend 64bit. [22:43] coz_: yeah probably [22:44] e-funktion: see http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Stop-Apologizing-For-Linux [22:44] e-funktion: 64bit is ok now days [22:44] e-funktion: because they are assuming the users are total idiots basically :) [22:44] Dr_Willis: oh whats that? [22:44] Dr_Willis: the link, well I can go on it :D [22:44] e-funktion: oh HP sells pre installed Ubuntu now, like Dell ? [22:44] e-funktion: for the homeuser/consumer ? [22:44] Which ati drivers are best for hd5770? I use ubuntu 10.04. The propitary from ati, 10.6 or the drivers "hardware drivers" recommend? [22:45] boils down to '32bit will work no matter what your cpu is.. they dont want a user getting a 64bit cd and think ubuntus broken on their 32bit cpu. i guess.' [22:45] <^peanut^> owd95: use the recommend ones from the hardware drivers. [22:46] i've got a 64bit cpu but (foolishly) thought that by opting for the 32bit os i might save myself some headaches [22:46] thx, but are they not old? [22:46] i'm a windows user primarily but just getting to grips with this for work [22:47] <^peanut^> tbiddle: 64bit is just fine for desktops [22:47] I cannot make flash to work on my 64bit system, is there anybody having the same problem ? [22:47] <^peanut^> tbiddle: been upgrading my 64bit ubutnu desktop from 8.10 to 9, to 10.04 now [22:47] oohazard: yup me [22:48] tbiddle, ^peanut^ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/585940 the "bug" about the website wording re: 64bit [22:49] ^peanut^: thx, but are not the drivers old from "hardware drives"? [22:49] what is deference between 32-bit and 64-bit ? [22:49] karlo: 32 more bits.. [22:50] ^^ [22:50] tbiddle: there is 64bit Flash for Linux by the way. altough someone told you there wasn't, I saw in back log [22:50] lol [22:50] karlo: if you got 4+GB ram you want 64bit to make best use of the ram [22:50] karlo: and you can gain speed boosts in other areas also [22:50] karlo, depends on your CPU too ofc [22:50] tbiddle: 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu are nearly the same thing really, I mean when it comes to what works and what doesn't work [22:50] <^peanut^> owd95: they may be, but are the best suggested to work properly. atleast that's how I read it. And, I've only used the ones in ( ) and have not had any issues. [22:50] sebsebseb: i saw it was a bit beta but then struggled to get my hands on it [22:50] how to add users and groups in system --administration menu ? [22:50] any solutions? [22:50] <^peanut^> ZykoticK9: nice.. ty [22:51] what is better choice ? [22:51] i think as i've got 32bit ubuntu installed it would be best if i stick to 32bit flash [22:51] karlo, probs 64, but depends if your PC can support it [22:51] ^peanut^: alright, thx! [22:51] tbiddle: 32bit Linux distros are a bit more supported than 64bit still I guess, plus not all distros do a 64bit version even [22:51] tbiddle: How much RAM you got? [22:51] tbiddle: on 64bit ubuntu - you are still usiong the 32bit flash. last i checked.. [22:51] 1 GB xD but I'm gonna buy new one [22:52] sebsebseb: according to firefox i have both adobe and swfdec flash installed... [22:52] tbiddle: did you get any solutions? [22:52] sebsebseb: 4gb memory [22:52] tbiddle, to check what version you are using "uname -m", but if you are using 32bit Ubuntu you can ONLY use 32bit flash. (64bit flash is temporarily discontinued right now anyways) [22:52] oohazard: working on it [22:52] tbiddle: Desktop Linux distros, above. oh 4GB well you will need 64bit for the OS to see all 4GB of your RAM, if your doing 32bit it will only show 3GB [22:53] ZykotickK9: yup, that's what i thought [22:53] !tab > tbiddle [22:53] tbiddle, please see my private message [22:53] tbiddle: so if you want to be able to use all 4GB of RAM 64bit, if not and 3GB is good enough for your 32bit will do it [22:53] Hello, I am sick of the way ubuntu/Gnome handles proxy. When I set http proxy in System->Preference->network proxy any thing in terminal related to internet stops to work e.g wget. However if I set the proxy to none and maunually specify the http_proxy variabel in terminal, it works fine in terminal. [22:54] tbiddle: in 64bit Ubuntu the Flash that comes from ubuntu-restricted-extras should work [22:54] i have no sound in pidgin when i recived a messege, the are sound when i sent a messege and when someone login but not when i received? [22:55] think i'm gonna go and install 64bit ubuntu and start fresh [22:55] thanks for the help y'all! [22:55] <^peanut^> tbiddle: I just took a look at the plugins I'm using on my ubuntu 64bit 10.04 system and I have gnash, swfdec, and adobe flash 10.2.53.64ubuntu0.10.04.3 [22:55] tbiddle: good idea to check ISO before burning contents to CD and using by the way [22:55] !md5sum | tbiddle [22:55] tbiddle: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:55] !hashes [22:55] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [22:56] owd95: check that "Message received" is checked in Tools/Preferences/Sounds/Sound Events [22:56] Hi everyone. couple of questions [22:56] If I want to reset a forgotten administrator password (on this PC) what do I have to do, reinstall? [22:56] !ask | revarr [22:56] revarr: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:56] greezmunkey: nope [22:56] greezmunkey: administrator you mean, the default Ubuntu account? [22:56] <^peanut^> jamil_1: I don't believe the gui system proxy settings and the cli have much to do with each other, I just setup aliases in my .bash_profile for enabling a proxy and disabling it. [22:56] greezmunkey: the one that can do sudo? [22:56] trism: it's check... [22:57] greezmunkey, see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [22:57] if a live CD of a distro does not let you get on the internet after connecting to your network then wouldn't it be a bad distro? [22:57] greezmunkey: if you mean that, boot up recovery mode from the Grub bootloader [22:57] when I try to install 10.10 alpha 2 from DVD, after selecting English and choosing Install, I just get a black window with a blinking cursor in the top left [22:57] it seems that i need to setup acl per mount point [22:57] is that a known issue? [22:57] greezmunkey: go to root prompt. passwd yourusername, and put in a new password [22:57] revarr: i would think it would be a 'unsupported' network card.. more then anything else.. [22:57] sebsebseb: no, I installed on this box a couple of months ago, created an administrator account using a password I don't normally use, and forgot it. I did create the account I'm working with now, but that's all I know. I should have written it down! [22:58] I see [22:58] jwatt, reask same question in #ubuntu+1 [22:58] greezmunkey: administrator do you mean root account? [22:58] well good thing I tested before installing [22:58] sebsebseb: yes [22:58] ZykoticK9: ok, thanks [22:58] greezmunkey: You can use the live cd/chroot and set a new root password. [22:58] owd95: does the preview button correctly play the sound? [22:58] greezmunkey: uhmm your not meant to use the actsaul root account in Ubuntu [22:58] !root | greezmunkey [22:58] greezmunkey: 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 [22:58] hello. some of the computers i work with and that have ubuntu 10.04 running, are experiencing high cpu usage whenever Flash is used on a website. i'm not having this problem on the laptop i'm on right now. anyone have an idea what's causing the high cpu usage? [22:59] greezmunkey: if your user has sudo rights. that should be able to do it also.. But its best to stick with just sudo and the admin user. :) [22:59] trism: yes it does [22:59] sebsebseb: I get that. It's the "admin" account created when installing in the first place. The account that allows sudo prive, etc. [22:59] ^peanut^, gui proxy sets the http_proxy variable itself. You can check it from terminal. Problem in my case is that if I set the variable manually it works but if i let gnome to set it for me it doesn;t work and I get 403 forbidden [22:59] greezmunkey: yes other distros, tend to have a root account, that people also don't tend to log in to, instead they become root when they want to install a program, a bit like sudo really, but yeah your doing Ubuntu, not another distro [22:59] greezmunkey: uh I mean above, people aren't ever meant to log into the actsaul root account [22:59] <^peanut^> jamil_1: hmm, interesting. let me check that. brb [23:00] Dr_Willis: That's it, I didn't give myself sudoer rights before I forgot that doggone password! I'll pop in an install CD. [23:00] greezmunkey: be that another distro, or Ubuntu where you have set up root, which your not meant to do, since sudo [23:00] owd95: odd, so some sounds work, but others don't? [23:00] greezmunkey, any account in the admin group should be able to use sudo [23:00] greezmunkey: You deleted teh initial user? that one has sudo rights by default. [23:00] sebsebseb: I get that, it's all good [23:00] anyone kniw how to mkae the trackpad work right on a macbook pro? [23:01] I learned how to make a upstart job that makes a root shell on tty9 :) for 'emergancies' :) but Im the only one that uses this pc. [23:01] <^peanut^> jamil_1: ok I setup the proxy via the gui, and then opened a terminal and did "env | grep http_proxy", and I get nothing [23:01] greezmunkey: and if you use the actsaul root account, services that shoudn't run like that, could cause issues with your system. [23:01] trism: yes, all sounds work but not the received sound :/ [23:01] <^peanut^> jamil_1: and I did click "apply-systemwide" [23:01] tbiddle: any links from where I can try to solve the issue as well? [23:02] hello [23:02] asking for dolphin24... hi - running ubuntu on LiveCD the touchpad of my laptop stopped working, what do I do? [23:02] ZykoticK9: yeah, bummer. I kind of just created the account I am using without doing any of that. At the time I was just interested with accessing the box - and I hadn't yet forgotten the primary accounts password. I'm an idiot. [23:02] Anyone know link for download "gigabyte" graphical driver (for Linux of course xD) ? [23:02] how to change Login Screen ubuntu 10.04 ???????? [23:02] owd95: do you have the "Sounds when conversation has focus" box checked? [23:02] nobita: :) [23:02] Does anybody know how to permanently configure what dpi xserver uses? [23:02] nobita: why since you don't like the purple look? [23:03] nobita: well if on 10.04 [23:03] nobita: you can only tweak it a little by default. Change wallpaper and so forth. [23:03] nobita: anyway alternatives, KDM :) XDM, LXDM, and Slim [23:03] nobita: theres a tool called 'epidermis' out that lets you set up some different themes. but its a little flakey [23:03] hi - running ubuntu on LiveCD the touchpad of my laptop stopped working, what do I do? [23:03] is there a way to edit a configuration file for xserver that changes what window manager is used? [23:03] trism: now i have it checked and it works ;) thx! [23:03] please help me change longin screen ubuntu 10.04 [23:03] Andyman555: xinitrc [23:04] nobita: KDM is what I would use in Ubuntu, the KDE display manager, that will want to put on quite a bit of KDE stuff, if you haven't had a KDE app installed before, but not a problem, as long as your partition isn't sily sized, and most Linux distros have been designed for many apps to be installed without problems, unlike WIndows. [23:04] thank you aeon! [23:04] Andyman555: thats not a xserver config.. the user has a .dmrc that defines the default session. Or theres other ways to change it [23:04] nobita, i've tried various ways of trying to configure GDM since 10.04 and non have worked successfully. other then changing the most basic things like the background image. best of luck! [23:04] nobita: and you can't just downgrade to the old GDM even though its in repo [23:04] yes [23:04] nobita: you can also use 'python-gdm2setup' for that [23:05] but am go to http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter [23:05] ZykoticK9: that epidermis tool lets you use mints' or some other themes.. from some other ubuntu variants mainly - i recall. [23:05] hi - running ubuntu on LiveCD the touchpad of my laptop stopped working, what do I do? (asking for dolphin24) [23:05] <^peanut^> nobita: I've used this, but not sure if this is what your looking for or not. http://n00bsonubuntu.com/content/how-change-login-screen-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx [23:05] ZykoticK9: but all they do is change the wallpaper, and other decrations. :) [23:05] and download and extract but dont know how change [23:05] nobita: the OLD gdm themes wont work [23:05] Dr_Willis, yes that mint thing is true - i remember that! but it VERY limited. [23:05] blitzo, I've had the same issue sometimes, and I'm not sure what to do to fix it [23:05] oh [23:05] ^peanut^, hmm but I am getting the variable http_proxy [23:05] I've tried restarting hal, and the mouse still doesn't work, and it's only a once in a while problem - x starts, mouse doesn't work [23:05] thank Dr Willis [23:05] nobita: change the wallpaper.. get back to work. :) [23:06] :) [23:06] andyman555 how do you restart hal [23:06] Set gdm to auto login to the user.. and you dont even worry about gdm themes any more [23:06] /etc/init.d/hal restart [23:06] <^peanut^> jamil_1: ok try this. unset the proxy in the gui, apply systemwide...then run the grep for http_proxy in the terminal...it should be gone. [23:06] but i want change login screen :-s [23:06] nobita: KDM :) [23:06] nobita: see above [23:06] nobita: change what of it? [23:06] <^peanut^> Dr_Willis: yeah =) you tell him [23:07] nobita: KDM looks much nicer than GDM 2 in Ubuntu, see above [23:07] u see here [23:07] have more login screen [23:07] http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter [23:07] nobita: or maybe try Slim, some nice themes on the site for it, and woudn't take much for you to make your own [23:07] some gdm2 tweaking --> (USe at your own risk) ---> sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties [23:07] nobita: as we said . the OLD gdm themes wont work. gdm2 is not as custiomizable as gdm1 [23:07] ok thank men ;) [23:08] if you really have a theme-fetish - you can use the old GDM.. good luck with that [23:08] no [23:08] thx u so muck [23:08] blitzo, did restarting hardware abstraction layer help your touchpad problem? [23:08] ^peanut^, nope still getting the http variable [23:09] <^peanut^> jamil_1: ok when you set it at the terminal without the gui... have you unset it? [23:09] Dr_Willis: yeah and Ubuntu made GDM 2 look sucky in 9.10, but also 10.04 :( [23:09] wow [23:09] hello. some of the computers i work with and that have ubuntu 10.04 running, are experiencing high cpu usage whenever i visit a site with Flash (e.g. youtube). i'm not having this problem on the laptop i'm on right now (also ubuntu 10.04). anyone have an idea what's causing the high cpu usage? [23:10] Dr_Willis: its something how a good background for GDM 2, can make it look quite a lot better [23:10] figure002: lack of a real gpu? [23:10] ^peanut^, hmm if I unset it from teminal then obviously i won't get any when I will grep for it ? [23:10] I just set my wallpaper to be a nice err.. female.. and leave it alone. :) [23:11] mehhhhhhhhh [23:11] aeon-ltd: 'real gpu'? what's that? [23:11] it is proven that Ubuntu 10.4 has a issue with the Graphics (the screen stays at 100% brightness) with my Acer Aspire 5740. Any suggestions (other distros ect) [23:11] ages ago i had GDM1 set to run xfishtank as the background :) [23:11] I download google earth for linux... and I can install it, but it doesn't work... [23:11] karlo: ive seen that in some repositories.. it has worked forme in the past. [23:12] revarr: I like your brackets :) and yeah a lot of Ubuntu's problems, would be sovled by another distro :D however I am not so sure about that, when it comes to laptop brightness issues [23:12] <^peanut^> jamil_1: yes that's the point. unset. I'm just tryin to figure out why when I use the gui to set the proxy I don't see that change in my terminal, but u do. so if you unset it then set proxy again with gui, just double checking that your termial will not have it, or it wil [23:12] well, now i have eiciel and nautilus, but nautilus won't load it... what do i need to do to integrate both? [23:12] karlo, fyi for future reference - if you add the medibuntu repository it has googleearth packages [23:12] karlo: i also think ubuntu-tweak makes installing google-earth easier. [23:12] <^peanut^> !mediabuntu > ^peanut^ [23:13] <^peanut^> !mediaubuntu > ^peanut^ [23:13] well openSUSE is out [23:13] how do i manage to run a program automatically at ubuntu startup? [23:13] ^peanut^, can you tell me what are the config files that terminal uses for finding http_proxy variable apart from /etc/bash.bashrc ~/.bashrc ? [23:13] Dr_Willis: karlo I have a good link for installing Google Earth into Ubuntu (which is one of many Linux distros) [23:13] !startup | adriancarrio [23:13] adriancarrio: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [23:13] I can install it, but than I can't run it [23:13] Help! I'm missing a bunch of application icons! I installed some icon theme packs and now a bunch of random applications show a grey box with a '?' instead of the /usr/share/icons/hicolor app icon. [23:13] Dr_Willis: uhmm I am not so sure about recommending Ubuntu Tweak to a load of people, because people can do silly things with it [23:13] karlo: and the error it gives is? [23:13] Dr_Willis: as far as I know [23:13] this is madness [23:13] sebsebseb: ive seen them do silly things without it also. :) [23:13] <^peanut^> jamil_1: that would be the places I would know of. [23:13] !medibuntu | ^peanut^ [23:13] ^peanut^: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:14] <^peanut^> ZykoticK9: ty bro =) [23:14] I am often amazed at the ways people manage to break their ubuntu systems. [23:14] hi - running off the LiveCD on my laptop, the touchpad stopped working and restarting gdm doesn't help - what should I do? [23:14] blitzo: so it was working then it stopped? thast is weird. [23:15] karlo, open a terminal and run "googleearth" and see if there are any errors [23:15] dr_willis yes that is what happened [23:15] that is weird [23:15] blitzo: you restarted gdm with 'sudo service gdm restart' ? [23:15] dr_willis "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [23:15] hi, i cant remote desktop my linux server fine from a linux client, but I cant from a windows 7 client. How can i get it to work on windows? [23:16] blitzo: learn the service command.. that init.d stuff is the old sysv way. and is slowly being phased out [23:16] dr_willis thx for advice [23:16] <^peanut^> jamil_1: I just found this, looks like it's something u just have to do I guess. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-configure-ubuntu-desktop-to-use-your-proxy-server.html [23:16] karlo: Dr_Willis http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/installing-google-earth-52-in-ubuntu.html [23:16] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/installing-google-earth-52-in-ubuntu.html [23:16] blitzo: you could just reboot. and monitor the /var/log/messages and see if any erorrs show up if it 'stops' again. [23:16] sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:16] sg Nickserv identify koolkal51 [23:17] two lines, is hardly flooding, silly FloodBot2 :D [23:17] ... [23:17] * Dr_Willis hands belak a new password [23:17] Dictionary word fail [23:17] dr_willis we are run ning on LiveCd reboot requires lots of set up, want to avoid if possible [23:17] blitzo: other then restarting X. i cant tell you mush else to do.. other then say to grab a mouse.. [23:17] haha [23:18] (maybe detects that the url was given out twice) [23:18] Dr_Willis, good call [23:18] ^peanut^, now a strange thing is happening. No matter what I do in gui regarding proxy I am getting an http_proxy variable in terminal even though I have cheked the /etc/bash.bashrc and .bashrc file [23:18] ncftpget isn't getting the folders in recursive directories on a server I'm trying to download from (it works on others). Any suggestions? Other tool? [23:18] wish someone had information on which distros worked well with my computer [23:18] is there an irc room for that? [23:18] is it possible to force an sshd "sftponly" user to a specific gid? [23:18] <^peanut^> jamil_1: did you ever set the http_proxy from the termial? [23:18] sebsebseb the link you gave karlo is not really the "ubuntu" way of installing things. Having software updated through medibuntu does offer more security then simply downloading applications directly from source... sometimes. Food for thought :) [23:18] revarr, whats the prob? [23:19] it is proven that Ubuntu 10.4 has a issue with the Graphics (the screen stays at 100% brightness) with my Acer Aspire 5740. Any suggestions? [23:19] ZykoticK9: well I have used what that link said, and it worked great for me in 10.04. and yeah there is a works for me factoid :D, but what was the trigger? [23:19] ZykoticK9: meidubuntu also isn't offical [23:19] ^peanut^, I had the export statement in /etc/bash.bashrc which I have commented out for now [23:19] revarr: You want help in trying to fix the issue? or what exactly? [23:19] ZykoticK9: in fact getting the .bin directly from Google is probably a more offical way than using medibuntu really [23:19] sebsebseb, installing software into the home directory is not "linuxy" [23:20] ZykoticK9: yeah I guess thats true since repos [23:20] <^peanut^> jamil_1: right. so every time you open a new termial that will get set. open a new termial and check the gui proxy settings once set in that new clean termial [23:20] revarr: go to distrowatch.com if you want to try a different disrto. Or try the 10.10 and report the issue as a bug if it is still happening [23:20] revarr, use 9.10 it is a better distro i think [23:20] fixing the issue would be good [23:20] what is relatime on mount? [23:20] ZykoticK9: with the exception of .tar.gz I suppouse, after they have been extracted and such [23:20] sebsebseb, /opt [23:20] revarr: what's your gpu? [23:20] sebsebseb: Do i need to tell someone at Debian to get the Intel 8xx driver issue fixed in Ubuntu or what ? [23:20] revarr: you have checked the forums for your exact make of laptop? [23:21] I have checked [23:21] saw a possible fix [23:21] * Dr_Willis always sets his screen at 100% brightness... [23:21] but it wasn't working for me [23:21] hopsa: uhmm? [23:21] ^peanut^, new terminal also has the http_proxy set though through gui there is no proxy at all [23:21] <^peanut^> hopsa: check to see if there is already a bug listed on debian and ubuntu sites, if there is no bug, create one? [23:21] there is a bug reported [23:21] sebsebseb: Its giving a bad rep due to this driver issue for 8xx intel cards... google the bug, its official but can easily be fixed by..... [23:22] <^peanut^> jamil_1: odd man, I can't reproduce that. [23:22] one person stated it as solved but the patch method didn't work for me [23:22] I got a problem concerning the poulsbo drivers for lucid lynx - my windows are shaking/stucking when i move them on my Sony Vaio P. Any advise? [23:22] Hi. General question ... In Ubuntu (default distro with Gnome) system buttons are located on the left site like in Mac OS X. It was introduced by Gnome or by Canonical? [23:22] <^peanut^> jamil_1: so it's set, but wget can't use it... [23:22] igor-explorer_12: its a theme setting by canonical [23:22] is Plymouth used on the LiveCD? [23:22] revarr, use 9.10 until they get the bugs cleaned out > things are changing with ubuntu [23:22] ^peanut^, nope [23:22] ZykoticK9: im pretty sure it is. [23:22] okay I'll see if that live cd works with my comp [23:22] i recovered some pictures but they dont open , and they has size also [23:22] everything just runs in low grafic mode [23:23] Dr_Willis, "pretty sure" eh? ;) [23:23] ^peanut^, also http_proxy doesn't contain my username and password [23:23] ok is it possible to set this theme to Gnome in another distro? (Sorry for possibly stupid question) [23:23] <^peanut^> jamil_1: but in the gui network proxy it does? [23:23] ZykoticK9: the live cd's have issues with my nvidia cards.. and its a plymouth issue on a normal install.. [23:23] ZykoticK9: so yep. pertty sure [23:23] Dr_Willis, exactly! [23:23] ^peanut^, yes I have specified them [23:24] sebsebseb: "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub" add "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i915.modeset=1" to this file, or create a new one with this content. [23:24] revarr, use name first tab to dirrect a message to a person first please so we know whom you are talking to [23:24] ZykoticK9: the consoles are not useable on live cd.. and not useable on normal install untill i install the nvidia drivers and/or blacklist the noeavu or whatever driver === dilo is now known as Guest79975 [23:24] ohh sorry [23:24] I just remove Plymouth :) [23:24] sebsebseb: After this the driver install with an updated patch level runs POST: "update-grub" === Guest79975 is now known as dilo_ [23:24] n/m - used wget -r ftp:// *much* more reliable [23:25] sebsebseb: This should fix the problem for all those with IBM with intel cards etc etc etc. [23:25] hopsa: or it might just be to do with how Ubuntu deals with that hardware [23:25] ^peanut^, usually I didn't notice about the http_proxy variable in terminal because I was setting it manually in bash.bashrc [23:25] <^peanut^> jamil_1: yeah. [23:26] revarr, like if you wanted to direct a message to me type say hie hit tab and it will fill it in and than type your message [23:26] has anyone tried the gma500 drivers yet? [23:26] <^peanut^> jamil_1: here's something interesting. http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?26,75109,75848 have you read this? [23:27] ^peanut^, a min [23:27] hello [23:28] * hiexpo hmm some people can not be taught [23:28] <^peanut^> jamil_1: I did find out that /etc/environment is another file that supports stuff like http_proxy and so on [23:28] sebsebseb: Yeah, some blacklist the HW for OpenGL Some dont. Either get a better driver from intel/Xorg or Downgrade it (There was no drawback with the old driver that i can see) [23:28] i cannot access in to lucid mi monitor stop signal and monirtor goes balck [23:28] hopsa: well attempting to download a driver, will probably cause issues with xorg [23:28] downgrade not download above [23:29] :) [23:29] PRIV! [23:29] how to install .bin files ? [23:29] Good, thx [23:29] karlo: ah right yeah [23:29] <^peanut^> jamil_1: ah, check this out. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wget/+bug/554068 and also a work around. http://blog.zenlinux.com/?p=366 [23:29] karlo: you mean for Earth since the link I gave? [23:29] no... I download google earth from offical page [23:29] haha [23:30] ^peanut^, OK here is the scenario: I unset proxy in gui open clean terminal and wget is working(I have http_proxy in bash.bashrc) then I set the http_proxy in gui and open another terminal and wget doesn't work even when both terminals have same http_proxy variable set to same value [23:30] open with [23:30] karlo, to make something executable "chmod +x filename.bin" then run it like "./filename.bin" [23:30] Greetings, do you know if there another way around login when you can authentatication failure when you forget you password [23:30] JAVA [23:30] ok [23:30] <^peanut^> jamil_1: read this. http://blog.zenlinux.com/?p=366 it explains the issue and a work around [23:30] karlo: yeah do what that page says, or use medibuntu as ZykoticK9 suggested [23:31] how can i fix drivers to access in lucid? [23:31] karlo: and before you can use a .bin you have to right click on it, and do the execute option === criminy is now known as sheenobu [23:31] karlo: I mean in the properties [23:31] yea... I do that thx [23:31] unbelievable [23:31] in grub i don't see somting like quiet splash [23:31] hiexpo: one more thing, should I go for the x86 iso? the 64 bit is for amd and my architecture is ??? (not really sure the architecture details are vague) [23:32] revarr, no use 32 [23:32] anybody know how to set up a dual boot environment with win7? i have done it with xp and it was a nightmare [23:32] blitzo: If you install windows first it's automagic. [23:32] <^peanut^> blitzo: install win7 first, then install ubuntu [23:33] blitzo, train wreck [23:33] ronald i can help u [23:33] blitzo, LOL using windows to boot linux is a little crazy. not sure why anyone would want too. [23:33] blitzo: If not, then you'll need to recover grub after installing windows: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [23:33] jordan_u should i partition the disk first? [23:34] does anyone have numpy installed from the repos? in my experience it wont actually import to python 2.6? [23:34] blitzo: I tried it, it isn't that bad just remember, windows first, ubuntu second [23:34] anyone know if Unix dump/restore works on ext4? [23:34] jordan_u revarr we are using the windows recovery disks to do this [23:35] blitzo: yeah. . . that may make it bad. At least you got a disk. Acer consumed a partion [23:35] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: check out - http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2010-03/msg02304.html [23:35] tensorpudding: I recommend against dump/restore in principle, what are you doing that can't be accomplished with standard tar / rsync / other tools? [23:35] jordan_u revarr win7 recovery wants to use the entire disk [23:35] blitzo, guaranteed train wreck u can put your money on it i will bet you will crash within 6 months > so no do not do it use linux or use windows your choice [23:36] I tried to work around it and completely ruined windows [23:36] Jordan_U, I apologize for the delay, http://pastebin.ca/1903996 [23:36] blitzo: Then let it, Ubuntu can resize windows during the install. [23:36] hiexpo pls do not assume why we are doing this, just advise how to do it [23:36] I use dump/restore on BSD, and it works amazingly well. [23:36] jordan_u pls explain i don't recall any such option to have ubuntu resize the partitions [23:37] hiexpo: I have no idea what problems you have encountered but most have no problems with dual booting. [23:37] so with a core i3 processsor should I stick with x86 or the amd64 one [23:37] <^peanut^> hiexpo: please, don't discourge people from trying things. Just because you may have had a bad experience dual booting win and linux, doesn't mean it will be a problem for others. [23:37] how do i make XChat stop connecting to freenode? [23:37] revarr, 32bits has better support. AMD64 only if you need performance on specific applications. [23:37] And though I am aware of the dangers of trying such tricks on a live filesystem which doesn't support snapshotting like UFS2 does, I can't find a suitable alternative for full-disk, remote backups with support for incremental backups [23:37] hiexpo, are u quad booting? [23:37] revarr, it's up to you (so long as your i3 is 64bit). 32bit is easier with less "issues" [23:38] hiexpo--quadbooting--awesome. [23:38] blitzo: I believe the option is called "install side by side", it's fairly obvious once you're actually in the installer. [23:38] <^peanut^> tnesorpudding: check out rsnapshot... =) [23:38] I reinstalled my machine and I have a backup of my old stuff. How do I import the empathy settings? [23:38] <^peanut^> http://rsnapshot.org/ [23:38] ok i will keep my opions to myself > i have only been operating unix for 12 years > sorry [23:38] hi there folks im trying to migrate my irc wscrabble bot from win7 to x-chat inubuntu its a consol application but when i run it i get a file descriptor error what do i do and yes i am root [23:38] <^peanut^> hiexpo: 15yrs here. =) [23:38] jordan_u we have 4 partitions already and don't want to disturb them - tell me it won't? [23:39] hi there folks im trying to migrate my irc wscrabble bot from win7 to x-chat inubuntu its a consol application but when i run it i get a fcouldnt get a file descriptor referring to the consolewhat do i do and yes i am root [23:39] Can anyone help me with partial upgrade problems [23:39] <^peanut^> hiexpo: everyone has different hardware and does things a bit different if they "know what they are doing". remember, alot of folks that come here are new to ubuntu [23:39] Jordan_U, its only obvious when its empty space [23:40] I don't know how to find the packages that are causing it, the thread on the forums says I need to know this to resolve this constant partial upgrade [23:40] I looked at rsnapshot, and although it sounds like it could potentially be able to be coerced to do what I want I'm not sure [23:40] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: so, what are you trying to achive? [23:40] Ive had good luck dual booting, just wish I could make the windows partition accessible by password, just in case someone besides me is using it [23:40] ^peanut^, i agree with that everyone that comes here is new to ubuntu but what works works and whatdoes not don't \ [23:41] <^peanut^> hiexpo: so if it doesn't work for you it doesn't work for anyone? === MK-ULTRA is now known as hexdump_ [23:41] I want to make compressed, incremental backups of /dev/sda5 on my laptop and put them on my fileserver [23:41] * JJ_ waits [23:42] blitzo: Are they all primary partitions? If they are that could make things interesting. [23:42] jordan_u yes they are all primaries [23:42] <^peanut^> tensorpudding. ok I have a bash script that can do that and has been doing for my systems here. I can pastbin it for u if you'd like [23:42] Okay, sure [23:43] blitzo: Well, you can't have more than 4 primary partitions, and to make extended partitions you need to use one of those 4. So at least one of those parititons will need to be made extended. [23:43] erm, you/we're doomed :) http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/windows_or_ubuntu?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs [23:43] ^peanut^, i work on computers everyday and the rate of success for dual boot is about 19 percent [23:43] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: from your laptop, you will need to have a smb/cifs, or nfs mount to your fileserver to store the files. Or, run it, have it dump the data locally, then have a wrapper script scp it to your file server. [23:43] who is nokia me? [23:43] jordan_u there is no option to install size-by-side [23:43] * nokia3510 congrats all wannabe programmers :) [23:44] I'm fine with having to rsync the local stuff, I suppose [23:44] blitzo: You can see how it normally looks here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing [23:44] Having to mount the fileserver is a bit more annoying. [23:44] <^peanut^> hiexpo: I understand as I do to. but, you had an issue and I don't have that issue. I have 150 engineers dual booting centos, ubuntu, and some of our custom linux distros all without issue. so again, for 1 to say it doesn't work because they had an issue and it won't work for others just doesn't make any sense to me. [23:45] I suppose I could rig NFS up [23:45] partial upgrade reslove how?? [23:45] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: nfs is easy [23:45] But it's one more thing I need to remember to disable when I'm not on the LAN [23:45] dibs: hard to tell without seeing more detailed information. Have you tried sudo "apt-get install -f" [23:45] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: let me paste that script for u [23:45] how can i fix lucid? i cannot access [23:45] Yeah, I've done NFS before [23:45] hi there folks im trying to migrate my irc wscrabble bot from win7 to x-chat inubuntu its a consol application but when i run it i get a fcouldnt get a file descriptor referring to the consolewat do i do and yes i am root [23:45] mi mo notor goes black [23:45] thune3: will this do any damage if I run it? what does it do? [23:45] Actually, nfsd is all configured on the fileserver [23:46] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: yup, that's why I mentoned rsnapshot... you don't need an nfs mount for it =) [23:46] The reason I really wanted dump and restore was how easy it was to configure on the fileserver [23:46] gurudrew: It's odd that you have grub legacy installed in the MBR rather than grub2 (which is what 10.04 uses by default) [23:46] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: true. [23:47] Jordan_U, I didn't mess with it, I installed from Wubi, and then just now used LVPM to 'transfer' [23:47] dibs: -f option to apt get "Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place." i doubt it will break things any more than they already are. [23:47] thune3: it seems I have a bunch of perl related packages to be removed. I update everyday and am wondering if this is correct [23:47] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: here is the bash script stuff. the guy who wrote it moved it to sourceforge =) cool. [23:47] <^peanut^> http://backup2l.sourceforge.net/ [23:47] ^peanut^, i agree some what but i would rather tell someone no instead of yes and have them lose there os and files [23:47] jordan_u ok then i need win7 advice and don't know where to get it. what i want to know is whether the recovery disks rely on the recovery partition on the harddisk because we have to blow that away to accomplish this. it did in xp but i don't know if it does in win7 [23:47] It is possible that the legacy grub exists from a much older Ubuntu installation [23:47] This drive is quite ancient [23:48] dibs: can you pastebin the output of the commands you are running (and the commands) [23:48] In fact I'm trying to set Ubuntu up on a genuine partition so I can eliminate some of these other drives, to be honest. [23:48] blitzo: Try asking in ##windows. [23:48] <^peanut^> hiexpo: agreed, I wouldn't want someone to lose anything. and not for dual booting. I would say run a local vm instead. [23:48] jordan_u thx much [23:48] s/drives/partitions/ [23:48] Hi Guys [23:48] hey, Ubuntu uses PAX, doesn't it? [23:48] blitzo: You're welcome. [23:49] ^peanut^, yep vm or run live cd [23:49] Looks pretty fancy [23:49] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: if you use the backup2l, you can write a very small post script that scp's the data to your main fileserver =) [23:49] Im using lucid and all the packages, updates, or otherwise, in the repos are not authenticated, and I can't seem to fix it. Google is NOT helping. If f***in desperate. <---censorship pun, cause anything can start with f. [23:49] thune#: http://pastebin.ca/1904016 [23:49] s/if/im [23:50] <^peanut^> tensorpudding: it's not all that bad. very basic stuff. don't get to caught up on the drivers part of the config file. =) the defaults work great [23:50] thune3: http://pastebin.ca/1904016 -I also have my php pinned, do you think this may be whats wrong? [23:50] alguien podria ayudarme por favor [23:50] !es | kazandra [23:50] kazandra: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:51] *flk* yeah, this will help me: An error occurred while extracting files. ... fileroller, this is a very fine error message... [23:51] blitzo: Follow this guide to install grub2: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide You can follow it from within the Wubi install but you should probably have a LiveCD on hand in case something goes wrong. [23:51] how do I know if my graphical driver is installed ? [23:51] <^peanut^> froschi: tryin to extract a file from gnome? [23:51] jj: doubt it will work: WScrabble is not a mIRC script but a small standalone Windows program in console-mode. It say stand alone WINDOWS program.. [23:51] ^peanut^: does this mean that there is a bad block, but it's fixing or just pressing with the test? "23652896done, 1:15:50 elapsed" [23:52] <^peanut^> nkei0: looks like it's still scanning the disk. wow how big is your HD? [23:52] 320 [23:52] ... [23:52] Jordan_U, Any ideas on how to fix this? [23:52] ^peanut^: 'from' gnoem? maybe :) clicked on 'open', then 'extract' somwhere [23:53] dibs: those are just "obsolete" packages, you should be able to remove them if you want. It is not really a problem to leave them. [23:53] Not the walmart curse again ;_; [23:53] how do I know if my graphical driver is installed ? [23:53] blitzo: Nvm, that last message was for gurudrew [23:53] ^peanut^: Also, it just said 96.11% done, 1:16:25 elapsed Interrupt caught, cleaning up and then brought the prompt back. I scanned a few different sections at a time, this section was 25gig... it takes about an hourish [23:53] ohh [23:53] ok thanks Jordan_U [23:53] I'll take a look [23:53] <^peanut^> froschi: what type of file is it? *.gz *.bz2? *.zip? [23:53] gurudrew: You're welcome. [23:53] Is Xubuntu really more resource efficient than Ubunut? [23:53] ^peanut^: bz2 [23:54] anyone with Ipod experiences that can help me please PM me [23:54] hello [23:54] ericthehax: I have this problem on occasion too [23:54] <^peanut^> nkei0: ok cool and you ran it with fsck -a right? [23:54] did you mess with the sources? [23:54] need help [23:54] econdudeawesome, the XFCE interface is really snappy, sometimes snappier than Gnome, but in 10.4 I've found gnome to be really awesome performance-wise [23:54] ^peanut^: I haven't done that one yet [23:54] you might need to run aptitude update [23:54] <^peanut^> froschi: try openning a terminal, cd to the location of the *.bz2 and run bunzip "filename.bz2" [23:54] I'm totally in love with 10.4, just hate the pink/purple icons, which I've gotten rid of. [23:54] <^peanut^> nkei0: oh ok. [23:54] tensorpudding: its been happening for quite a while... i think a few days at least... do you know what could be causing it? [23:55] <^peanut^> nkei0: your still on your live cd right? [23:55] ^peanut^: Yep [23:55] dibs: are you having an actual problem when you try to perform some install operation? [23:55] anybody using UE? [23:55] <^peanut^> nkei0: ok... try running the fsck -a /dev/"whatever your disk partition is" [23:55] ^peanut^: yeah, doing that atm... i think it's running out of diskspace... makes a strange file in some subdir first... maybe wants to COPY, not MOVE in the end... is this a know bug? [23:55] gurudrew I ask because I'm thinking of switching over to lubuntu for an older system. I am actually currently using lubuntu-desktop and the default interface isn't great, but it sure is amazingly fast. [23:56] anyone in here use an apple bluetooth wireless kbd with 10.04? [23:56] gurudrew I was curious because Xubuntu is claimed to be for lower end systems, and lubuntu seems a lot better (via random google searches for info) [23:56] <^peanut^> froschi: not sure if it's a bug. could you paste the output from your shell when it finishes? or fails? [23:57] ^peanut^: bunzip worked fine... :/ only cost me ~10 minutes waiting... think i'm going back to cmdline for all needs where possible :/ [23:57] econdudeawesome, I don't have a reference point as I've never used lubuntu, but xubuntu is snappy from my experience. [23:57] arg [23:57] econdudeawesome, lxde is a very lightweight DE compared to XFCE in my experience. You can theme it up if you don't like the original look without too much trouble I'm sure...haven't tried to myself. [23:57] <^peanut^> froschi: I'm so terminal bound for most things. =) it's nice [23:58] <^peanut^> hiexpo: what's up? [23:58] ^peanut^: I get this "fsck: fsck.swap: not found ; fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.swap for /dev/sda5" when running fsck -a /dev/sda5 [23:58] mint released a light version also [23:58] gurudrew good to know. I'm going to be setting up a LAMP and only want a minimal desktop environment. slidinghorn I'm fairly impressed--very very snappy, but no compiz. Compiz is nice, but not a dealbreaker if its missing [23:58] Do i need codecs for ubuntu [23:58] ^peanut^: Is it because I had the swapoff when i was deleted the extra linux swap space? [23:58] got booted [23:58] video and audio codecs [23:58] i got ubuntu 10.4 [23:58] OldSmokey I haven't really been impressed with Linux Mint. It's ugly IMHO. And GNOME panels/LXDE panels are easier to work with than whatever skin Linux Mint is using [23:58] econdudeawesome, well if you're on a low-end system, compiz isn't good for you anyway...it's pretty resource intensive in itself [23:58] <^peanut^> nkei0: hmm, good question. [23:59] thune3: it's just that every morning I get a partial upgrade dialogue instead of my old faithfull upgrades one [23:59] depends on what you want to do [23:59] ^peanut^: Turned it back on, and trying again. [23:59] Evolution-X: Generally just double clicking on a video / audio file will install the codecs needed automatically. [23:59] <^peanut^> nkei0: have you tried to remove the swap first, then add in to swap? [23:59] slidinghorn: Its only as resource intensive as the plugins you have enabled. [23:59] i see that happends on rythmbox [23:59] <^peanut^> ok brb [23:59] slidinghorn I'm not, but I like my DE to use little resources, since I do a lot of scientific computing/number crunching. I get tired of doing that in CLI [23:59] add medibuntu repos i think still in 10.04 [23:59] ^peanut^: no, i just tried it with swapon and it still failed for the same reason. [23:59] ok
