I have try kdelive and openshot and both of them crashes random... [00:07] j800r_, Ummm ?? What do you mean more powerful? [00:07] owd95, ubuntu lucid comes with one [00:08] owd96 cinelarra is great if a little quirky - google for it [00:08] funkyHat: http://pastebin.com/z9nrNfZ5 [00:08] edbian, apt-get came more or less as a replacement to aptitude. it's my understanding that you can do more with it [00:08] j800r_: yes i know but i need i more advanced editor, like adobes products... [00:09] then kdenlive is one of the best to use i'd say [00:09] j800r_, aptitude is smarter at dependency resolution. That is the only difference I'm aware of. [00:09] funkyHat: heres some more output http://pastebin.com/whhyLfj8 [00:09] forgot to enter pw [00:09] it is? [00:09] apt-get does a fine job to me [00:09] intx: aptitude will remove packages that are no longer depended on by default, apt-get will too if you run apt-get autoremove [00:09] j800r_: but i crashes all the time... i have try it on difference computer to [00:10] <^peanut^> Raydiation: you need to replace "host" with a real hostname that you can ssh too =) [00:10] intx: however if you've used update manager I think that doesn't set the auto installed flag properly, so it might not work right [00:10] j800r_, I switch back and forth all the time. Sometimes apt-get is useful because it does what I tell it and only what I tell it. [00:10] owd95, try running the software via terminal and see what output you get. [00:10] ^peanut^: @line8 [00:10] here is my case.. installed ubuntu lucid. then installed kubuntu-desktop. then updated KDE to 4.5 RC2, then removed kubuntu-desktop, so ubuntu got destroyed. so re-installed ubuntu-desktop. now I've got many missing dependencies.

[00:10] edbian, i use apt-get for everything, and it does the job fine [00:11] you can use apt-get autoremove to remove obsolete packages/dependencies [00:11] j800r_, yeah :) [00:11] <^peanut^> Raydiation: doh, sorry, missed that. =) [00:11] tgalal: apt-get build-dep vlc [00:11] funkyHat: problem is: i put my pubkey on the server, with the authorized_keys file, then when it try to connect i get connection closed. if i delete the keys on my pc i get a password prompt. now if i do a ssh-add i dont even get a pw prompt if the .ssh is deleted [00:11] I'm having trouble with pure-ftpd.

[00:12] ed1703, i think it's more a case of preference rather than capabilities [00:12] funkyHat: if i do that after ssh-add i dont even get a pw prompt [00:13] Raydiation: because you deleted the keys that ssh-add might have tried to unlock for you [00:13] violinappren, I like to switch between gnome and kde every now and then.. unfortunately..

[00:15] funkyhat if he has nuked his personal files without a backup there is no recovery [00:15] Okay it's been a bit so I'll review the issue I've been trying to solve: Trying to install ubuntu I get an error "(intramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" before the CD menu. Checksum on the ISO checks out, the image verifies in IMGBurn (burning on an XP machine), so I'd say the disk is fine. Wubi doesn't work, gives me an error that loops "There is no disk in the drive.

[00:15] violinappren, ZykoticK9 I followed the directions and it left me with the resolution I started with. In addition I see "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" [00:16] tgalal, Try the same command but with aptitude. See what it says :) [00:16] edbian, will dot thanks :) [00:16] do* [00:16] <^peanut^> raydiation: if you removed the .ssh dir in your $HOME. You can recreate it but ssh'ing to another system, the client side of .ssh holds the known_hosts file. So that's all that gets created (defaults). Then you can regen your pub and priv keys. also make sure your $home permissions and .ssh dir permissions are setup correctly so sshd doesnt complain when verifing keys [00:16] Alien_Overlord: did you edit xorg.conf to set your desired resolution ? [00:17] violinappren: Sorry for the delay. http://pastebin.com/upWmahAZ [00:17] A-Non: Sounds like the kernel is having problems recognising your drives.

[01:51] FailDroid|droid put the cd in the drive and reboot your computer. the bios has to have the cd/dvd drive ahead of the harddisk in the boot order [01:52] Oh, and pretty please [01:52] hi all [01:52] hey [01:52] Blitzo, what? [01:52] xTheGoat121x: Not really. :) [01:52] dr, i am root user, she is not, the new user was not either and i can even think of any admin at that time that ¨could"have effected the issue [01:52] FailDroid|droid where am i confusing you?

Huh, You mean the initial user that has 'sudo' rights? [01:52] yes [01:52] FailDroid|droid i don't know how [01:53] Dr_Willis, cuz plain Ubuntu is too heavy for a netbook I'm working with, but once I get everything I don't use uninstalled and everything I DO use installed, it'd fit.

Thers lubuntu and xubuntu if you want lighter XXXbuntus [01:54] ok, thanks for your help Dr... [01:54] Dr_Willis, well, it's less a matter of lightweightness in terms of RAM and more in terms of HDD space [01:54] wow crash: world of warcraft files are fine, (2 methods of install tried, each with wow repair attempted and same error).it tells me hardware has changed and asks me if i want to reset. then it runs the cinematic with the fullscreen not covering the top or bottom bar; after the opening cinematic it crashes saying it could not read memory in 0x00000008 [01:54] Dr_Willis, it's only got a 2 GB SSD [01:54] 1 sec xTheGoat121x [01:55] xTheGoat121x: You mean matter of [01:55] xTheGoat121x: You mean matter of drive space?

[01:56] misrel; have you dine anything other than install the latest wine and wow? [01:56] Dr_Willis, LoL Yeah, well I have two Netbooks, one is fine with UNE, the other though... HDD's a bit small. I'll look into Tiny Core [01:56] Basically i had my WoW install on an external drive [01:56] xTheGoat121x: yea. T.C.L. is very neat.. but takes some learning. [01:56] so i just found the dir and ran WoW.exe with WINE [01:56] xTheGoat121x, http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook [01:57] misrel, are you running with the -opengl switch? I don't play wow but though it's required for wine. [01:57] xTheGoat121x: just the wireless drivers for T.C.L double the size of the disrto :) [01:57] Nope, i just right click> Open with WINE [01:57] Dr_Willis, LoL [01:57] aaron_, two things I've seen are to try both with and without -opengl when running WoW [01:57] !wine [01:57] hiexpo, I'm familiar with it but it's a bit too big for the hard drive [01:57] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:58] xTheGoat121x, oh [01:58] as i said though, i did not install wow through ubuntu [01:58] Any idea why I can't boot any 2.6.35 kernels on my Maverick install? no console, no net... booting a 2.6.32 works fine [01:58] xTheGoat121x: lubuntu is a bit smaller then a normal ubuntu. but not sure how tiny it is installed [01:58] misrel, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [01:58] you you saying the gl in the config file where you do the set something or just in the launcher? [01:58] aaron_, it seems some of the graphics card drivers for some cards don't like the opengl version and some don't like the directx version [01:58] zyko: aaron needs help, my WoW runs fine :) [01:58] cuz_do i need to reboot now [01:58] aaron_, yes, that's the same as the -opengl flag [01:58] I have a stock install of Ubuntu 10.04 installed on one machine, VNC is enabled with a password and that's it. I am trying to connect from a Windows 7 box with RealVNC. I connect fine, I can enter the password to unlock the computer, but then the Ubuntu machine does not respond short of showing my mouse movements. No clicks, no keyboard shortcuts, nothing [01:59] We need a Intervention for all the WoW Addicts... [01:59] :) [01:59] Dr_Willis, Lubuntu is definitely an option. I already have an ISO for that too... just wish they had a netbook version of Lubuntu. [01:59] Dr_Willis: Please SOS :) [01:59] hello [01:59] lol [01:59] Veovis - nvidia drivers + compiz [01:59] xTheGoat121x: You want a laucher with big icons. :) is that it.. [01:59] and vino (vnc) have issues still [01:59] xTheGoat121x: actually i do seem to recall some lubuntu netbook thang. [01:59] aaron_, additionally, I installed WoW on two ubuntu laptops, one of which functions perfectly, the other of which had a nasty error which ended up being because I was trying to run with opengl [01:59] How does one disable desktop effects in ubuntu?

[02:04] A-Non: not very easially [02:05] advise/advice [02:05] A-Non: I believe there is a SLAX boot cd that will boot to USB. I've never used it, but that's one option. [02:05] Dr_Willis: Well this CD thing isn't turning out to be so easy either... What other options do I have? [02:05] although at that point, why not boot from CD [02:06] veovis_muaddib, Well the CDs I've been using are apparently bad burns or whatever, giving me some live file system error [02:06] I don't get this anyone help?

[02:13] david_: download the tar.gz, extarct to your home dir.. cd to teh ff dir.. run the binary [02:13] ok im on it thx! [02:13] Dr_willis I pmed you [02:13] soerau - I don't really need that tho, just want to be able to control it well enough so I can control the pc so it displays to my tv lol [02:13] FailDroid|droid: so None of those work? [02:13] Nope [02:13] FailDroid|droid: or whats not working exactly? [02:13] Zykotick9 It had intel graphics, but there's an Nvidia FX 5500 in a PCI that serves as the main card. How would I access a terminal without a working install? [02:13] david_: add this ppa https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa , install firefox-4.0, disable the ppa in "other sources" by unchecking it. [02:14] FailDroid|droid: clarify what they are doing/not doing.. [02:14] If I press enter on ANY of those, they don't work [02:14] They don't come up options [02:14] Can't see availalbe networks, and I'm sure I went through the same procedure on this laptop that I did on the other one. [02:14] They don't reboot my comp [02:14] FailDroid|droid: that is very weird that even memtest dosent work.. do they just go to a black screen or what? [02:14] FailDroid|droid, you still haven't answered whether you've checked the md5 on your iso.... [02:14] !md5 [02:14] 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 [02:14] Stay atb the ubuntu screen [02:14] A-Non, i guess you could only use one of the pre-10.04 (plymouth) cds to get a working terminal :( [02:15] What's MD5??? [02:15] FailDroid|droid: you sure your enter key isent broken. :) [02:15] It isnt [02:15] Zykotick9, I do have an older version floating around I'll try [02:15] !md5 [02:15] 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 [02:15] I was using like 20 mins ago [02:15] FailDroid|droid, check the links in there (ubottu's post) [02:15] FailDroid|droid: you may want to try the alternative isntaller cd also.. I thought the GRUB menu you are looking defaulted to the first item after 20 seconds also.. (or does it not do that any more?) [02:16] It doesn't do it [02:16] If I boot from first hard disk it boots into windows 7 [02:17] FailDroid|droid: so that entry does work.. but if you just sit there and the count down goes.. it does no boot the first item? [02:17] FailDroid|droid: What speed did you burn your disc with? [02:17] A-Non, i wouldn't bother with the cd thing. It is most likely an issue with Plymouth and either the Nvidia OR in Intel that is causing the problem. If i where you I'd try researching disabling Plymouth in some manner and see if you can get booted to a proper 10.04 LiveCD, or perhaps you could download the Alternative CD that performs a text based install if you wanted to try something different. good luck man. plymouth is a pain sometimes. [02:17] Whatever the default is [02:18] FailDroid|droid: What program then? Because I think defaults are different for each [02:18] http://yfrog.com/2m88919346j Dr_Willie plz read it! [02:18] a program to open binaries as text [02:19] like notepad on windows, gedit won't do it [02:19] any recommendations? [02:19] oh, graphical if possibl [02:19] Infra recorder [02:19] any have the 64 bit alpha flash version? no longer avail. on the website. [02:19] ZykoticK9 I'm not sure what Plymouth is but I'll definitely look into that... Thanks for hte help [02:19] kn100_, a hex editor of sorts ;) i'm not sure of one, but seen them. [02:19] Night_Fire, better to use http://paste.ubuntu.com -- much easier to read ;) [02:19] I used Infra recorder [02:20] i've extracted the tar to my home directory and changed directory to ff, i don't know how to execute the binary [02:20] ZykoticK9, notepad would do it perfectly [02:20] Vim does it too, but is a pain in the butt to copy form [02:20] ubotto: please post those links again [02:20] from* [02:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/466739/ [02:21] FailDroid|droid: Disc images should be burned at about 4x speeds, which probably isn't default, it's slow but that's the most reliable [02:22] kn100_: there are several 'hex' editors in the repos. [02:22] It didn't give me a speed choice [02:22] Dr_Willis, any recommendations? [02:23] kn100_: i recomend you use the package manager and look at them . :) [02:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/466739/ read this plz DR_Willis... [02:25] FailDroid|droid: you used it on a windows machine yes? I haven't used infra recorder in a long time, imgburn (http://www.imgburn.com/) is a very good iso burner for windows, it definetly gives you speed options [02:25] Ubuntu isn't worth the hastle [02:25] Night_Fire: care to summarize it a little? Others in the channel may be interested.. and its almost my bed time [02:25] Yes I did [02:25] FailDroid|droid: i say the same thing about windows... [02:25] i'm in the firefox directory. How do I execute the binary file named firefox-bin from the terminal?

[03:47] tonysan: man aptitude [03:47] i dun want the changer owner to root way [03:47] tonysan: search for forbid [03:47] deexannihilate: if it isn't there, edit the menu and check it >.> [03:47] Any idea why 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) flip/flops on Lucid only ? Other distro's or Ubuntu releases never showed such a strange behaviour [03:47] illac: so if I want not to upgrade my screen (for example), my screen -v says 4.00.03 [03:47] dodger: nah synaptic's going to not be in the default install eventually as the software center progresses. and kubuntu uses kpackagekit. aptitude/apt-get are universal in *buntu-land (and debianland) [03:47] D3RGPS31: not there/ how do I edit the menu? [03:48] Night_Fire, you need to set up an Private folder, but it will be accessible when you are logged in [03:48] deexannihilate: riteclick the menu, select edit menu [03:48] illac: then my command will be 'aptitude forbid-version screen=4.00.03' ? [03:48] deexannihilate: System>Preferences>; check Multimedia Systems Selector [03:48] tonysan: according to the man page [03:48] yeah i like aptitude, it gets less confused than apt-get (case and point go from lenny->squeeze with apt-get and it will fail, not so with aptitude) [03:48] tonysan: aptitude forbid-version screen [03:49] well thats the BIG problem i wanna be logged in and root or normal user and when i open this folder it asks me for password [03:49] tonysan: will prevent upgrades past the current version [03:49] tonysan: aptitude install screen [03:49] Night_Fire: there's no simple way, though its been requested on brainstorm.ubuntu.com and there's a blueprint for it on launchpad.net [03:49] tonysan: would wipe the forbid [03:49] D3RGPS31: what can I determine from this menu? should I just test all settings? [03:49] Night_Fire: it kicks you to root when it ask for thre password [03:49] deexannihilate: all audio output settings :3 [03:49] huh will it block cding into the folder on cmd line i wonder [03:50] Night_Fire, I see, not sure that is possible unless you make an encrypted .zip but then you wouldn't be able to add/remove from it [03:50] how do you disable the sanity check on a ./configure line? [03:50] illac: It says "Package screen is not upgradable, cannot forbid an upgrade" [03:50] tonysan: http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-prevent-a-package-from-being-updated-in-debian.html [03:50] Night_Fire: ubuntuuses a sudop envirment rather then a root/user envirment [03:50] you can do a hidden folder, but it can still be found [03:50] uRock, i am reffering to this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [03:50] tonysan: aptitude hold package [03:50] D3RGPS31: I don't have an option for output settings. [03:50] tonysan: apparently also blocks updates/upgrades [03:51] deexannihilate: alas, i am of no use nao [03:51] D3RGPS31: haha ok [03:51] how do you disable the sanity check on a ./configure line? [03:51] deexannihilate: but now you can tell linux isn't recognizing your hardware :D [03:51] Night_Fire: ecryptfs could help. it can encrypt a directory [03:51] D3RGPS31: lspci can tell you that [03:51] Night_Fire: though i dont know how to use it for that [03:51] i hope they make a program that can im trying to completely leave windows and work on linux since imnot a designer its easy but i get stuck on some small stuff like that [03:51] D3RGPS31: it offers output plugins with no settings.. is what I meant [03:51] well for that matter pgp [03:52] gogeta: must not let the serfs know of this, otherwise they'll usurp us o: [03:52] how do you disable the sanity check on a ./configure line? [03:52] deexannihilate: oooo [03:52] untar the dir, pgp decrypt it (open dir) && tar the dir, pgp it up == "close dir" [03:52] aombk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne/D150 ? [03:52] deexannihilate: no devices, or there are devices? [03:52] how do you disable the sanity check on a ./configure line? [03:52] idk ecryptfs either :( [03:52] how do you disable the sanity check on a ./configure line? [03:52] how do you disable the sanity check on a ./configure line? [03:52] D3RGPS31: if the hardware is showing as unkown then linux isnt seeing it if its listed then its a driver issue [03:52] daedalus96: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:52] illac: running, seems working, thanks! [03:52] D3RGPS31: there are devices just no settings to change [03:52] tonysan: welcome [03:53] D3RGPS31: unless I' [03:53] deexannihilate: test each device with the test button untill something happens :3 [03:53] Night_Fire: ecryptfs is included in a default install. you use it from the command line. [03:53] D3RGPS31: tried and nothing :( [03:53] Night_Fire: my internet is too slow right now to even load google though, so you'll have to look up a howto yourself [03:53] deexannihilate: o: alas, gogeta should help you since i have no idea what i'm doing [03:53] maco or you can right click and encrypt [03:53] goog1jh_, im a little confused with unetbootin. After I finish adding one to the usb, I can just add another one just like I did for the first one and it will create the grub-like menu? [03:54] sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils [03:54] D3RGPS31: ok. [03:54] ok np [03:54] gogeta: does that work for a whole dir or just for individual files? and if you do it for a dir does it tar it or what? [03:54] deexannihilate: lol i dont even knoe your issue [03:54] does anyone else have a problem with gimp in ubuntu 10.04? seems it just doesnt work right for some reason. [03:54] kevin: nops [03:54] !gimp > ShrekLappy [03:54] ShrekLappy, please see my private message [03:55] maco not a master of encryption hear but i knoe the option is there [03:55] Night_Fire, man ecryptfs may be helpful with that [03:55] gogeta: I can't get my audio to work. I've tried changing the settings in Sound Preferences and I've now tried in the multimedia system selectors. [03:55] but the package python-gtk2_2.17.0-2_amd64 when i d-click it it closes right away and ultamatix needs it to run [03:55] engemec, ? [03:55] deexannihilate: well first thing open a term type lspci and look at the audo device line [03:55] is this a known issue or something ? [03:55] deexannihilate: if it shows your card we knoe linux sees it === goog1jh_ is now known as goog1jh [03:56] gogeta: ALS4000 Audio Chip [03:56] man ecryptfs No manual entry for ecryptfs [03:57] deexannihilate: many times pule audo can be the issue in your sound option change it to alia [03:57] anlong [03:57] gogeta: pulseaudio RAAAAGGGEEEE [03:57] oh got info page on it nvm [03:57] gogeta: he's disabled pulseaudio [03:58] D3RGPS31: kinda a extra step being you can simple slect alisa [03:58] How can I check how avi files are encoded in ubuntu? (Having problems playing an .avi off a USB drive on the PS3.) [03:58] gogeta: i would tell him to uninstall it, but isn't it tied in with ubuntu like a rootkit? [03:58] D3RGPS31: she :) [03:58] mikebot: what's your feelings on geohot O: [03:58] deexannihilate: try both alisa and oss modes [03:58] does it, goog1jh ? [03:59] D3RGPS31: What is that? [03:59] mikebot: can't ffmpeg give you details about that? [03:59] deexannihilate: there must be a problem with your audio card :3 let me inspect it fur you [03:59] bed time for me its 6am and i still didnt sleep yet ;p bb all [03:59] gogeta: under multimedia systems? [03:59] illac: No clue-- how do I do that? [03:59] deexannihilate: i bleve so [03:59] gogeta: it's froze, so it'll be a sec [03:59] deexannihilate: it should be under admin sound [04:00] mikebot: 1 sec, let me confirm [04:00] trying to install ubuntu on a windows machine. but i don't see automatic partitioning. I want to dual boot, how do I do this without advance partioning option [04:00] illac: Thanks. [04:00] night_fire: absolutely do NOT use ultamatix! [04:00] Hey [04:01] spydee32: try wubi, that'll do the dual boot, no re-partitioning [04:01] I sort of need help with a question... [04:01] illac: Do you know anything about some avis working on PS3 while others do not? === gsalas-brb is now known as gsalas [04:02] mikebot: I don't, I know that ffmpeg will more than likely be able to convert them to a usable format [04:02] deexannihilate: system prefs sound [04:02] mikebot: I thought you were trying to get info from the avi files [04:02] jake642: you should just state the question, you don't need to say that you have one [04:02] I think I killed my sister's pc somehow by inserting an installation usb with wubi in it. [04:02] illac: OK, I'm going to install it === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [04:02] then hardware [04:02] mikebot: if you're just trying to encode video tho, ffmpeg will def. do it [04:02] ibnarrashid: ok [04:02] I have a problem on synaptic "touchpad" utility (not the package manager) [04:02] tonysan: any downside for using wubi? [04:02] illac: I was, I am trying to follow a guide on how to make them playable. [04:02] mikebot: http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html [04:02] illac: I think I'm way above my head [04:03] join ##c [04:03] deexannihilate: from there you shoud see profiles and set it to anlong duplex [04:03] mikebot: http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html [04:03] bah [04:03] gogeta: sorry. I couldn't get it to forcequit' [04:03] illac: Thank you [04:03] mikebot: http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html#SEC20 [04:03] jake642: how far did you go with the installation? [04:03] spydee32: AFAIK I can't enable grub2 splash screen and change its resolution [04:04] Hello! top - 10:58:26 up 3:23, 2 users, load average: 0.31, 0.38, 0.47 ..does that mean someone is inside my laptop? [04:04] I think I killed my sister's pc somehow by inserting an installation usb with wubi in it. I had a disc to install windows xp at the same time running.. and it was restarting the computer with the blue screen. I got impatient and pulled the plug. When I turned it on again, the screen wouldn't load. [04:04] illac: The file that isn't working is an avi, as are files that do work. I think the problem isn't the file type but how it was encoded? [04:04] gogeta: I have analog stereo duplexz [04:04] deexannihilate: they changed how it looks in lucid darn them you used to be able to set the drivers [04:04] Hello! top - 10:58:26 up 3:23, 2 users, load average: 0.31, 0.38, 0.47 ..does that mean someone is inside my laptop? [04:04] spydee32: only dual boot, no more OSs with wubi, so if you're trying to do 3-boot later, it will not be an easy task [04:04] mikebot: You don't know geohot ! http://www.youtube.com/user/geohot#p/a/u/0/1-9wLWQ4-uA [04:04] list [04:05] yusuke: you can type "who" to get a list [04:05] yusuke: it could just mean you-in-the-gui and you-in-the-terminal [04:05] mikebot: probably [04:05] ibnarrashid: with the installation.. I just dragged the wubi filed into the usb.. without using the writer. So when I inserted it into the computer, I think it did something.. [04:05] spydee32: If your NTFS dies, your ubuntu dies too [04:05] yep [04:05] tonysan: thanks, but i wonder why the installer won't give me the easy partition option, the graphical partitioning [04:05] jake642: windows probably didn't get installed fully, you should try reinstalling [04:06] how can i get a list of network interfaces in a machine (interfaces that currently are not brought up) i.e: i have added a secondary PCI NIC but I am unsure if it is classified by the system as eth1 or something else [04:06] deexannihilate: check the output tab [04:06] spydee32: wubi makes your installation to a file inside NTFS [04:06] yusuke, run the "who" command [04:06] tonysan: ah yes, i meant when i tried to install through my thumb drive [04:06] Sary: Thanks [04:06] it will show who is logged in [04:06] jake642: wubi should be fine, it doesn't do anything unless you tell it to [04:06] ibnarrashid: so there's no way that can kill the motherboard? [04:06] gogeta: internal audio analog stereo [04:06] deexannihilate: is it set to anlong speakers [04:06] ibnarrashid: oh [04:07] spydee32: there's no partition work for wubi, it's just 1-click install [04:07] mikebot: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/257203-Encoding-for-Playstation-3 [04:07] jake642: no, if you didn't erase your partitions with wubi, wubi wouldn't change anything make your computer stop working [04:07] gogeta: it says analog output/no amplifier [04:07] tonysan: ah, i'm trying to say that before wubi i tried to install traditionally by booting up from thumb drive/cd and creating a dualboot [04:07] mikebot: np , just thought it would be helpful point him out . check his other stuff too [04:07] deexannihilate: in the tab below it it should say anlong speakers [04:08] gogeta: it doesn't mention speakrrs [04:08] ibnarrashid: so how do I reinstall if I can't get to a startup screen on windows? [04:08] or anlong out [04:08] spydee32: if you have access to paritition resizing tools, make a room and install [04:08] ibnarrashid: I have a black screen.. [04:08] illac: Yikes. Thank you, but this might take a while to figure out, haha [04:08] how do you restart the x server without shutting down? [04:09] gogeta: it says "analog output (lfe), analog output, analog mono output" and each has the option for amplified and not amplified [04:09] spydee32: however grub will take over the Original Windows Bootloader [04:09] gogeta: *amplifier/no amplifier [04:09] ibnarrashid: If I try to insert a the windows recovery cd, it also does nothing. [04:09] mikebot: it's not to bad once you get the basics [04:09] tonysan: the second thing i did was use windows 7 to create an unallocated partition, and tried to install it on this but still having only 2 options: erase entire disk or advanced partitioning [04:09] deexannihilate: try setting it to anlong output [04:09] how do you restart the x server without shutting down? [04:10] jake642: put the installation cd in, go into the boot menu (press F8 or F12 while loading, or ESC, depends on system) then choose boot from CD/DVD to reinstall [04:10] illac: Can I make it come out of this process as an avi? [04:10] mikebot: yep [04:10] mikebot: something along these lines of this should work [04:10] I have a 3 GB file in my tmp folder named magick-XX7BJ0eD.pam Anyone know what it is, and if it's safe to get rid of? [04:10] deexannihilate: and play something [04:10] gogeta: amplifier or no amplifier [04:10] jake642: You don't have to have an operating system running in order to install a new one [04:11] deexannihilate: no amp [04:11] illac: OK, thanks [04:11] spydee32: is your unallocated partition inside a virtual partition? [04:11] I forgot what the other paritition is called... [04:11] gogeta: negative [04:11] mikebot: ffmpeg -i invideo.avi -vcodec codechere outvideo.avi [04:12] deexannihilate: humm [04:12] tonysan: i just shrunk my windows 7 partition and this resulted in an unallocated partition [04:12] jake642: You gave to restart the system and get into the boot menu [04:12] /s/virtual/Extended [04:12] mikebot: for example converting to xvid [04:12] mikebot: ffmpeg -i invideo.avi -vcodec libxvid outvideo.avi [04:12] illac: Oh, let me try that (Thank you!!!) [04:12] deexannihilate: what card was that again [04:12] gogeta: could it be because there is no plugin for audio.. similar to how I had to install video plugins [04:13] gogeta: ALS4000 [04:13] spydee32: I have no idea sorry [04:13] tonysan: i think the problem with the installer not showing automatic partioning is because its an hp computer that came with 3 other "recovery partitions" [04:13] tonysan: thanks though ill keep trying [04:13] is there a way to bypass the login screen/x/gdm and go straight into a terminal, before the login screen comes up? [04:13] illac: Got an error: Unknown encoder 'libxvid' [04:13] mikebot: mikebot have to install it [04:14] illac: Oh, opps OK [04:14] deexannihilate: oh i see the issue and removing uplse made it worse [04:14] mikebot: libxvidcore4 [04:14] mikebot: sudo aptitude install libxvidcore4 [04:14] deexannihilate: you simple had to do this [04:14] mikebot: ffmpeg -i invideo.avi -vcodec libxvidcore4 outvideo.avi [04:15] mikebot: give that a shot [04:15] deexannihilate: rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound* sudo rm /etc/asound.conf [04:15] how do you restart the x server without shutting down? [04:15] illac: OK, installing now [04:15] gogeta: how do i do that now? [04:15] jake642: Some machines automatically boot from the cd if the cd is bootable, other wise a screen at startup should have a F(0-12) button to tell you to get into a boot menu or options [04:16] illac: Unknown encoder 'libxvidcore4' [04:16] deexannihilate: you lost audio after a update rite [04:16] illac: After I did sudo apt-get install libxvidcore4 [04:16] Guys , Did anyone Successfully played a DVD or VCD in Ubuntu ! [04:16] mikebot: 1 sec [04:16] gogeta: no, this is a fresh install. I haven't had audio since I reinstalled. [04:16] how do i get my mobile broadband connection to show up as an option for network manager? ive done the wizard and found the provider [04:16] ibnarrashid: right now, there's no way to access the boot options.. even when pressing f2.. is there a way to make a bootable cd ? [04:17] illac: (Thanks a lot btw) [04:17] mikebot: try running without convert, just pass it through ffmpeg for the first run [04:17] deexannihilate: try this aplay -l [04:17] DrMrHorse: have you set it up through network manager? [04:17] tonysan: in case youre wondering i figured a solution: im using gparted to shrink instead of windows 7, this way gparted can partition into an ext4 instead of "unallocated" and the installer sees this as a free space i can install onto without me needing to mess with partition tables [04:17] mikebot: ffmpeg -i infile.avi outfile.avi [04:17] ibnarrashid: the screen isn't even loading, so it's literally just black. I think I killed the harddrive.. but right before then it may have been attacked by a spyware or virus.. [04:18] gogeta: trying playing now? or is there more? [04:18] illac: Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height [04:18] deexannihilate: i have network manager applet 0.8 [04:18] mikebot: that's if you run the generic? [04:18] deexannihilate: well if you removed those 2 files log out and back in [04:18] ibnarrashid: the inside of the computer runs and the lights and fans work though.. so I was wondering if I make a bootable cd .. that it will be able to boot without needing to use the f8 f2 option :( [04:18] illac: Yes [04:19] DrMrHorse: what is your provider? [04:19] mikebot: hmmm might have to resort to #ffmpeg channel :/ [04:19] illac: oh wait, sorry one moment please [04:19] hi... you guys knows the PHP channel???? [04:19] mikebot: k, I'm playing with it over here as well, mine ran fine [04:19] hi, what is the command to save all the programs for reinstall on a new drive? [04:19] enav: ##php [04:19] illac: I'm such a fool-- there was an extra space in there [04:19] <_jesse_> enav: ##php [04:19] thanks mates [04:19] Anyone ! i could not seem to get a DVD nor a VCD to be playing [04:19] deexannihilate: verizon. i went through the wizard and it found it, but doesnt show up as a connect option on left click so i cant connect [04:19] DrMrHorse: *who sorry [04:19] im goign to blow my mind this summer :) [04:19] ubottu: tell JoeSomebody about clone [04:19] JoeSomebody, please see my private message [04:20] jake642: you already have a bootable cd if you were using a cd to install xp, the most a failed installation probably did on your system is erase or corrupt the partitions, boot options aren't on the partitions [04:20] Ok. Is there a cd icon on the bottom right? [04:20] illac: Oh no, still same error [04:20] enav, http://www.phpfreaks.com/page/irc-live-chat [04:20] deexannihilate: me? [04:20] shishire: if the extension is pnm instead of pam (which you wrote), then it seems like a working file for imagemagick. Did you do some work with imagemagick? nothing in /tmp is expected by programs to last through a reboot. I would tenetively say it is ok to remove. [04:20] DrMrHorse: if so, you need to eject it and let it reload. after it reloads, it should show up in the network manager [04:21] DrMrHorse: yes [04:21] deexannihilate: no cd icon [04:21] jake642: do you get anything other than a completely black screen while starting up? Like a manufacturer's name on it while starting up? [04:21] im doing some strong research on wikis and forums to chose between Java and PHP for web development [04:21] ibnarrashid: No [04:21] mikebot: hmmm mine ran fine converting an mpeg to avi [04:21] deexannihilate: i can connect with wifi, just not mobile [04:21] im trying to install git [04:21] http://pastebin.com/5FVD1ZKE [04:21] DrMrHorse: Hmm.. then I'm not sure sorry :( [04:21] getting those errors [04:21] deexannihilate: ty [04:21] DrMrHorse: you're welcome [04:22] ibnarrashid: only the monitor screen starts to light up, but it turns orange.. I know the computer is alive, but it won't even have the startup screen.. it's just all black. and everything is plugged in correctly too. [04:22] ill ask again i guess [04:22] how do i get my mobile broadband connection to show up as an option for network manager? ive done the wizard and found the provider [04:22] ibnarrashid: the monitor button ^^" not the screen. [04:22] thune3, I just removed it, it seems to have been an imagemagick thing. I was running phatch. And it was actually pam, not pnm, although I have no idea why. Thanks though [04:22] ibnarrashid: so I don't get anything but a black screen. [04:22] illac: Mine creates the file, but is 0 bytes big, and has that error [04:22] illac: Maybe this is too big a problem to solve tonight [04:23] hey guys [04:23] mikebot: Error while opening codec for output stream [04:23] who am I [04:23] mikebot: 1 sec [04:23] I am trying to install java on this machine [04:23] mikebot: ffmpeg -y -i files/input_file.avi -ar 22050 -f flv files/output_file.flv [04:23] but it keeps saying that it cant find the java package. [04:23] jake642: what system did you have running on it before? and what hardware do you have? [04:23] gogeta: ok. i've logged in/out and still nothing [04:23] in the repositories [04:23] Whats the best DVD player in for Ubuntu ! [04:23] mikebot: according to someone with a similiar error its' based on the sampling rate [04:23] deexannihilate: you whont beleve this fix pluginto the line out [04:24] illac: Oh. do I put 'files'?

Because that bottom graph has a slider still....but maybe because you have some tiny recovery partitions, the slider is placed on the wrong partiton [05:23] realy? [05:23] <|littlebear|> aaron_: me too [05:23] aaron_: real [05:23] :) [05:24] spydee32: sure there's no slider? It's grey and it doesn't stand out well enough [05:24] haha!

Hydrogen is a drum machine [05:26] peepingtom: ive installed ubuntu on 2 other HP's before and theyve all had this problem im guessing its the numerous partitions HP comes with messes with the autopartitioner. [05:26] Does anyone know why flash says "an error has occurred please try again later" with amd64? [05:26] thanks [05:26] peepingtom: normally what ive done is to shrink my windows 7 partition using a windows program, this leaves unallocated partition, and i get a selection in ubuntu installer: "install on largest continous free space" im not getting it here [05:27] <[thor]> dodger: the closes you are gonna get is LMMS [05:27] hmmm there is an entry that corresponds with the time, Process Pulse audio, "ratelimit.c 235 events suppressed" [05:27] spydee32: yeah I understand, I guess you'll have to create you own partitions in that free space and then set the ext4 partiton to mount at "/" and swap is swap [05:28] hrm ok i'll have to check that out [05:28] peepingtom: ive tried to shrink windows partition using gparted as well. ive tried to do advanced partitioning on this empty partition also but it reads "unusable." neither gparted or the ubuntu installer can format the partition into ext4 or even modify it in anyway [05:28] <[thor]> dodger: it looks more like FLStudio than reason/cubase, but it has support for automation, step and playlist sequencing, and vst [05:28] Does anyone know why flash says "an error has occurred please try again later" with amd64? [05:28] spydee32: that choice will take the free unllocated space for the new Ubuntu [05:28] peepingtom, hey, did the file finish uploading? [05:28] [thor]: is there anything like traktor (something to dj with?) [05:28] b1nd3er: yeah I sent you a /msg msg, ill send it again [05:29] <[thor]> dodger: the other great benefit is that it supports the JACK audio system for wiring unrelated apps together [05:29] ok i launched it from terminal, and it didn't give any error, but when i started the video I got "[0x8948640] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called" [05:29] ah nice. [05:29] http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6LG53I9Y [05:29] [0xb290df68] pulse audio output: No. of Audio Channels: 2 [05:29] and then nothing after i played a sound, the sound to the video died [05:29] hey guys , i'm using a 32bits linux os , but my cpu can work with it , and i've got to 2gb os ram , would be my noteboot working good with a 64? [05:29] <[thor]> dodger: i'm not sure about a native alternative, but i run Serato Scratch Live in wine. [05:29] sary: i want to do this, but im not getting this choice in this particular install on my brand new hp [05:30] ha, i was going to mentoin serato. it works then, cool :-) [05:30] spydee32: okay , try this http://www.hackourlives.com/dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [05:30] hrm i guess i should try ableton live then if serrato works... [05:30] deexannihilate: humm there was a update for your driver in 2.6.32 i wonder if they broke something [05:30] so what do you think the problem is? it persists on 2 different user accounts [05:30] spydee32: you can try using gparted on the LiveCD instead of the Ubuntu installer, it's more useful and has more options. === toa_ is now known as Toa [05:31] spydee32: it's called "partition" something and it's under applications -> administration [05:31] peepingtom: thats right ;) [05:31] i've to 2gb ram , would my pc working good with ubuntu 64bits? [05:31] spydee32: erm I mean "administration" ;) [05:31] tiago: Why not ;) [05:32] tiago: 64bit is a prosser mode [05:32] I'll install then [05:32] peepingtom: yep ive tried this ill try it again [05:32] spydee32: http://www.hackourlives.com/dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [05:32] tiago: supposted to multitask better [05:32] spydee32: if it's unusable it should look yellow or stripy or something in gparted, and you'll have the option to delete it I think [05:32] yeap , but i'm afraid if I need more memory to run 100% [05:32] <[thor]> dodger: i have tried FLStudio, ScratchLive, and Absynth with wine. With the exception of the Absynth, i have had no real issues with the audio output. The only issues that arise are those to do with latency and live performance. [05:33] tiago: Good luck with that ;) [05:33] Does anyone know why flash says "an error has occurred please try again later" with amd64? [05:33] heh. don't we always. [05:33] hey guys..can someone pls direct me to a link that shows how to fresh re-install ubuntu while keeping all of my settings (apps) from the previous one.. [05:33] coz i've read that it's recommeded 4 gb hehehe [05:33] sary: im reading it and im going to try it right now again [05:33] but I'll try [05:33] everytime it happens i get "pulseaudio[1919]: ratelimit.c: 4 events suppressed" in the syslog [05:33] it occurs on separate accounts, and yes i have pulseaudio installed [05:34] peepingtom: it comes out as unallocated space in gparted, in ubuntu installer it says "unusable" in manual partitioning [05:34] redvil: if you didnt partation a /home you cant do a frh wile retaning eveything in home [05:34] some one, anyone? Im getting really desperate for some help here. [05:34] peepingtom, sorry, but I'm not receiveing your message === himuraken is now known as Guest8151 [05:34] b1nd3r: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6LG53I9Y [05:35] b1nd3r http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6LG53I9Y see this? [05:35] pulseaudio[1919]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! [05:35] pulseaudio[1919]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. [05:35] gogeta: what do u mean? so i'll just reinstall ubuntu again without performing any backup? im not really clear with this one [05:35] thats in the user.log [05:35] at the same time as the event [05:35] spydee32: Good luck with that [05:35] tons of different ulseaudio[1919]: ratelimit.c: 22 events suppressed [05:35] sary: thanks i really want ubuntu on my laptop hopefully that battery life isnt too bad either [05:36] redvil: well you can always backup before but if you dont have a /home partation everything gets deleted [05:36] taev: you should try the ubuntu audio developers ppa, 1 sc ill link [05:36] my titlebars went away on ubutnu 10.04 with nvidia drivers and extra visual effects turned on [05:36] Taev: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ppa and then install the alsa modules for your kernel [05:37] What tool does one use to see the raw output from the keyboard? [05:37] gogeta: as of the moment ubuntu is the only OS in my pc...no partition whatsoever.. [05:37] spydee32: Ubuntu rooks ;) [05:37] Taev: It's a newer version of alsa [05:37] redvil: then back up any media you wanna keep [05:37] redvil: ot just do a upgrade [05:37] or [05:38] gogeta: coz wat im trying to do is to install some other distros straight to my pc (not running it on liveCD)..but im planning to re-install ubuntu lucid again later [05:38] redvil: a /hp,me partation can run across all distros [05:38] gogeta: i just want to be able to retain my settings and apps instead of installing them one by one again [05:39] redvil: /home === mauricio is now known as Guest36262 [05:39] Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Alpha-2 has been released .. isn't that amazing ;) [05:39] hola [05:39] redvil: well linux can work pretty cross platform but not like that [05:39] redevil: it's easy, you can just rename /home to like /homebackup [05:39] alright, im back [05:39] redevil: delete everything else [05:39] I still cant get this autorun thing working [05:39] redevil: and install Ubuntu again, just don't format [05:40] RealEyes: WB [05:40] so just backup my /home then reinstall the new distro on top of ubuntu [05:40] ok i added ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa to my software sources [05:40] <`Assassin> Can somebody paste in a pm the default repositories that come with Ubuntu Lucid? [05:40] now what? how do i download the new alsa modules? [05:40] redvil: you cant retain your apps just your downloads [05:40] redevil: yes but you dont even need to move it off disk if you dont want, its faster [05:40] Sary: Did you check those links I posted to you? [05:41] Thats as far as I got with autorun. [05:41] Supposedly there was a bug made or a fix for a bug? I just cant see where to DL it. [05:41] RealEyes: no , [05:41] Taev: open synaptic, search for alsa-driver-modules install the latest (not the backports) and then restart your computer [05:41] ok in synaptic there a bunch of new files, linux-alsa-driver-modules [05:41] how do i see which kernel im running? [05:41] ??? [05:41] so i get the correct module [05:41] Taev: actually install the 2.6.32-23 one [05:41] Hi guys, I just completed a suspend debug by following these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend . Not sure what to do next. I have the dmesg.txt file open. [05:42] sorry..still having trouble grasping the concept..im still finding my way around linux [05:42] Taev: Yes, the one ending in -24 is newer than your kernel so don't install it [05:42] not 32-24? [05:42] ok [05:42] Sary: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-volume-manager/+bug/123313 [05:42] just started using ubuntu about 2mos ago [05:42] i have the PAE kernel [05:42] redevil: you just want to reinstall right? [05:42] should i get 32-23-pae ? [05:42] redvil: How things going for you ;) [05:43] ok installing. [05:43] peepingtom: i want to get rid of ubuntu at the moment and try other distros [05:43] RealEyes: Okay , lemme look at it [05:43] Taev: yes, I forgot about pae [05:43] BRB again lol [05:43] but i want to keep my settings and apps when i decide to re-install it again at a later date [05:43] i dont have to reboot do I/ [05:43] redevil: ok you can just boot to another liveCD and rename /home to something else, then don't format [05:43] redevil: oh apps too? [05:44] sary: still getting use to it i guess [05:44] redevil: then boot to a livecd and put everything in "/" into a folder [05:44] I have no sound what so ever now [05:44] peepingtom: yep..i installed several apps in ubuntu and i dont want to re-install them again when i re-install ubuntu..is there a way around this? [05:45] well this is great, at least before I had sound [05:45] Taev: hooray! I guess you have some serious driver issues. You should probably file a bug report. uninstalling those modules will revert [05:45] is there a good way to search through text files (.doc, .docx. open office formats) recursively in my Documents folder? i.e. search by file contents, not just file name? [05:45] ugh, back again [05:46] redevil: as I said, boot to a LiveCD, navigate to / (like C:/ on windows), make a folder called UBUNTUBACKUP111 and move everything into it [05:46] peepingtom: im having some problems with ubuntu at the moment...monitor seems to shut down once in a while if im not using it for like 5 mins [05:46] ok ive got sound back [05:46] redevil: then when you install a new distro, DO NOT FORMAT [05:46] thats your advice? [05:46] file a bug report and just live with it? [05:46] redvil: as i remember , there is way using a text file and running a command to install all your apps again [05:46] Taev: or learn to write drivers, yep [05:46] Taev: umm wait [05:47] Taev: did it work like this on the LiveCD or is this a new development? [05:47] ok..i'll try those suggestions guys..thanks [05:47] Taev: if it used to work, you can probably fix it. if it's a driver bug, file a very detailed report and maybe someone will fix it [05:48] sary: arrgggg.. i followed directions step by step and instead of free space the new partition is titled "unusable" [05:48] peepingtom: any suggestions as to wat other distros behave closely to ubuntu? [05:48] redevil: Debian o O Ubuntu is based on it [05:49] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. [05:49] !bugreport [05:49] its been doing this for awhile [05:49] peepingtom: i'll try to download debian and give it a try [05:49] :( [05:49] i just haven't really addressed it until now [05:49] spydee32: Can you make it usable again ! [05:49] !bug [05:49] 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 [05:49] I'm starting to hate ubuntu [05:49] damn bot. [05:50] sary: i dont know how to do that... i was hoping it was usable already! [05:50] No autorun, it wont load my NetGear wireless assistant -.-; [05:50] spydee: format the unusable space in gparted? [05:50] RealEyes: that fast ! [05:50] When i try ubuntu-bug alsa it says alsa does not exist [05:50] see u later guys..thanks for the assistance [05:50] even ubuntu-bug ALSA [05:50] peepingtom: the format option is grayed out, i can't do that [05:50] It's pissing me off, I wouldnt have these problems with win7 [05:50] things like wireless USB drives and autorun should be Easy [05:51] sary: on your guide it shows one of the options as "use continuous free space" available. i didnt even have that as an option. [05:51] I mean, this is just ridiculous [05:51] realeyes: netgear wireless assistant isnt needed [05:51] Sary: did you get anything from that link I sent? [05:51] <[thor]> RealEyes: hrmph.. my cheapo noname wireless usb device worked out of the box [05:51] each time i try to run Google Maps , the system locks up. The system monitor shows 100% on both processors at the time. [05:51] damn it i can't even file a useless bug report [05:51] spydee32: you cant format a drive if it's mounted of course, but it really wasnt possible to format using gparted? if not, the installer certainly wont work. then your partitoon tables are mesed up [05:51] <[thor]> no apps or drivers needed [05:52] seriously, thats it? just wait until they make a new alsa driver? [05:52] would it be that im trying to install 32 bit ubuntu even though the machine has 64 bit windows. or that im trying to install using a usb thumb stick? i don't see how though since ive installed all my ubuntus using a thumb drive [05:52] eyes_only: It's not recognizing it [05:52] RealEyes: there is no patch there to DL [05:52] spydee32: no [05:52] peepingtom: it can't be mounted im running the gparted off the thumb drive [05:52] yeah! no patch [05:52] idk what to do [05:52] I need this autorun to work [05:53] i got problem i tryed to configure and edited files wanted to make my seakers 5,1 and after restart i got no sound [05:53] I'm probably going to format my drive and install the win7 iso lol [05:53] I cant think of anything else [05:53] Hi guys, quick question, gnome mounts cd's automatically, with this I am not able to run dd to make a copy of it. Is there a way I can switch of that feature ? [05:53] all my hardware CDs say win7* on them [05:53] RealEyes: that is lame ;) [05:53] peepingtom: hmm i just opened the laptop from the box a couple hours ago i wonder why the partitions are messed up [05:53] ubuntu will NOT read them [05:53] even with wine [05:54] rkavalap, cant u just unmount the disk? [05:54] peepingtom: i think my last ditch option is a clean install of windows 7 if i can find an install cd which will delete all the recovery partitions [05:54] spydee32: additionally the installer would tell you if non-installer-running partitons were mounted [05:54] RealEyes: My Ubuntu can read my CD-DVDs [05:54] that say win7 on them? lol [05:54] Hi guys, I just completed a suspend debug by following these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend . Not sure what to do next. I have the dmesg.txt file open. [05:55] what do you have installed on your ubuntu? [05:55] spydee32: take good care of the disc then, mine didn't burn properly (and I knew 5sec later) and now i'm screwed [05:55] <[thor]> LOL [05:55] spydee32: also you could image your drive and burn that to a DVD [05:55] Yes , i have dual boot with windows 7 [05:55] <[thor]> sorry.. i know that is frowned upon, but i really did crack up [05:55] sikumbuzo: paste here, its your lifeline http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [05:55] Zelozelos: I tried that, for some reason dd was not working. I could not figure out if there was something else accessing it [05:56] windows 7 is not horrible [05:56] RealEyes: i have allot installed in Ubuntu 10.04 [05:56] <[thor]> RealEyes: after installing ubuntu, i haven't installed _any_ windows applications. I have found native alternatives for everything i do. [05:56] peepingtom: you messed up a windows 7 clean install? what were the consequences? i really have nothing on this brand new laptop, i just want ubuntu to run on it [05:56] peepingtom, http://paste.ubuntu.com/466795/ [05:57] [thor] can you run starcraft II? lol [05:57] <[thor]> RealEyes: why would i want to?! [05:57] spydee32: it only let me burn 1 copy of the disc, my DVD drive was garbage, I was screwed. when I cal in the warranty i'll haggle for a free instal disc from lenovo [05:57] no reason, I suppose hah! [05:57] Has anyone found a work around from having to boot acpi=off with amd64 ubuntu 10.04? [05:58] <[thor]> RealEyes: i'm sure wine is working on SCII [05:58] Granted I don't really know what I'm doing. It appears from [ http://paste.ubuntu.com/466795/ ] that the problem is not being logged. Someone smarter than me could verify this. [05:58] fearful: really depends on your specific driver problem [05:58] or it will soon [05:58] <[thor]> RealEyes: if it isn't already supported, they are working their collective arses off to do so. [05:58] peepingtom, it seems to be an issue with the Toshiba Satellite L500 series. [05:59] can someone help with remote accessing ubuntu from windows using ssh [05:59] i'm having trouble with this simple issue. [06:00] sikumbozo: when it resumes, try pressing alt+sysRQ+K and see if your screen works when xorg restarts [06:00] getmizanur: putty [06:01] getmizanur: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [06:01] <[thor]> RealEyes: i would suggest browsing the synaptic package manager for applications that do the every day tasks you require, and go to your windows applications only when there is no other choice. Part of the move to a new operating system is getting used to the tools at your disposal. [06:01] getmizanur: you can use that to connect via ssh from windows [06:01] is there any programs for ubuntu out there that makes it easier to type out statistical equations of any kind? [06:02] Redcl0ud R maybe [06:02] http://www.r-project.org/ [06:02] well I filed the bug report [06:02] i have installed ssh on ubuntu and have not done anything else to it. i expected to be able to connect to it using putty however it hangs after entering password [06:02] peepingtom, I don't understand. I don't know what xorg is and my screen has been working fine. [06:02] as useless as that will be. [06:02] so thats it then? just sit back and be annoyed to death until they make a new alsa module? or pulse audio? [06:02] peepingtom, sorry I misunderstood. I htought you meant after *reboot* not *resume* [06:03] lazy reading [06:03] I will try that [06:03] :| [06:03] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog] [06:03] does that make sense to you guys?

[06:07] fearful: not really my thing, your disable ACPI because something is broken, and you need to do the investigating https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI [06:07] <_jesse_> getmizanur: are you trying to connect over LAN? [06:07] peepingtom, Ha. Okay, so Alt+ SysReq+k (which I guesses reboots xorg) got me back to the login screen and I was able to log back in. However, all of my programs had been closed. [06:08] getmizanur: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [06:08] Is there where I can get help with Pidgin messenger? [06:08] @_jesse_ yes === logan is now known as Guest83008 [06:08] how do i restore the ctrl-alt-backspace restarting gdm/gnome functionality? [06:08] <_jesse_> getmizanur: try KB1JWQ's suggestion, I thnk by default only ssh client is installed [06:08] I would like to know if I can increase the text that appears in the messages I recieve. [06:09] sikumbuzo: yes that command kills everything on VT7. this problem of yours is related to your GPU, I think you'll have to do some googling or file a bug report at launchpad [06:09] @KB1JWQ i have installed openssh-server as well [06:09] peepingtom, thanks anyway for the link [06:09] !dontzap | intangir [06:09] intangir: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [06:09] getmizanur: Is it running? [06:09] peepingtom, what is VT7? [06:09] @KB1JWQ yes it is running [06:09] getmizanur: Okay, so what's the issue? [06:10] sikumbuzo: press ctrl+alt+F1, ctrl+alt+f2, ctrl+alt+f3 [06:10] those are Virtual Terminals, ctrl+alt+f7 is VT7 [06:10] @KB1JWQ i cannot ssh into ubuntu using putty on windows [06:11] getmizanur: I don't do Windows, sorry. [06:11] getmizanur: on a lan or over the internet? [06:11] @peepingtom on lan [06:11] Can I enlarge the text in messages I get in Pidgin, or is there another way to enlarge it? === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [06:12] getmizanur: can you SSH to your account using your ubuntu computer? [06:12] @peepingtom yes [06:12] getmizanur: ssh to the user you're sshing from [06:12] getmizanur: it's a router or youre not using PUtty properly then [06:12] peepingtom, what was that supposed to do? [06:13] sikumbuzo you have a specific issue with your graphics card, you need to google around and learn how to fix it or do a bug report [06:14] what's the easiest way to set up an e-mail server so i can send mail to whatever addresses from my machine? [06:14] sikumbuzo: i was just telling you what happens when you kill VT7, X is killed and your screen works again [06:14] Catwoman: hey [06:14] Probably shouldn't have tried that more than once... [06:15] @peepingtom i think it is the putty as well however i can't see what it could be === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:15] peepingtom, I'm not sure what I would be searching for. Can you be more specific so I know what I am looking to find out. [06:15] sikumbuzo: no your card is probably unstable after screwing up once already on that boot [06:16] Just a random question is there a way to run 32 bit on amd64 laptop? [06:16] sikumbuzo: google for your card name, resume, and linux [06:16] fearful, 99.9% will work fine [06:16] ok [06:16] fearful, wait, i misread that... [06:16] fearful: just install ubuntu 32bit it will work fine [06:16] fearful, you can install either version of ubuntu: x86 or x64 [06:17] fearful, i'm using 32bit ubuntu on an amd64 right now, and it works fine [06:17] ImaLamer, sweet thanks, you too peepingtom [06:17] fearful, the question is *why* [06:17] because it may not be compatible!! [06:17] is gnome-look.org down? [06:17] 32bit is easier for most people [06:17] Or am I just uber-noob [06:17] ridin... with what? [06:17] ImaLamer, I have to boot acpi=off, I have no battery icon and flash player just doesn't work. [06:18] peepingtom, How do I file a bug report? The google results do not look promising. [06:18] farce: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/gnome-look.org [06:18] fearful, flash in 64-bit shouldn't be an issue anymore (10.04)... though acpi=off is common to both 32 and 64 on my laptop [06:18] Thanks ridin [06:18] >.< [06:18] hi === STiK is now known as BDsLoveGoat [06:19] ImaLamer, I'm gona give it a shot, I have no solutions to both my issues at the moment. [06:19] there is problem with gyachi [06:19] fearful, makes sense - always good to test [06:19] whenever i try logging in it says [06:19] "CONNECT ERROR: Could not connect to server: scs.msg.yahoo.com, errno: 4" [06:19] fearful, HP laptop? [06:19] ImaLamer, thats a negative. [06:19] ImaLamer, Toshiba Sattelite [06:20] <[thor]> fearful: the only issue i have run into while running 32bit on a 64bit system is my ram not being recognized fully.. it only shows 3 of 6GB.. but that can be fixed in some BIOS [06:20] fearful, I ask because in trying to get my acpi/nolapic/apic/omgwtfbbg issues fixed i came across "this is the worst laptop ever made", an HP [06:21] [thor], I can't run either. [06:21] ImaLamer, well what fix is that can you guide me through it I mean I don't know what else to do. [06:22] fearful, in my case it was a constant try-and-reboot situation... adding and removing those acpi related options. [06:22] sikumbuzo: what video driver do you run, AMD proprietary or the open source one?

[06:55] picard: anything goes through vpn, it exits to the internet at the other end [06:55] l0s: when you type, or when stuff is printed on screen by programs? [06:56] peepingtom: he might have to manually set his screen resolution to his grub entry [06:56] kk sounds good just want to make sure that no DATA at ALL is being transffered outside the VPN.. i mean for example if i setup the PPTP connection [06:56] when i an in console mode and i type the letters are weird characters [06:56] dont i have to disable like my resolving servers on my local machine etc.. i feel there is more to do than just setup a connection?

[07:52] jordan_u : i cannot find example on a link that you give to me [07:53] Jordan: ah, ok, I was about to specify that and ask :) [07:53] hohohoho: I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with mysql. [07:53] Hey guys. Are there any likely gotchas in install Ubuntu on a laptop with a dead CD drive from USB stick? [07:53] appamajig: AFAIK wubi "partitions" (actually they are image files) cannot be resized [07:53] The instructions at http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download seem to reckon it's pretty safe, and there are good instructions for generating the thumb drive from OSX [07:53] marshall [07:53] Just wondering if there's anything I'm likely to run into before I spend two hours on this ;) [07:53] its much easier than that [07:53] google unetbootin [07:54] jordan_u : well ok then... thank you dude.. [07:54] appamajig: You can resize the disk image with lvpm. [07:54] hohohoho: You're welcome. [07:54] eyes_only: Unetbootin for generating the bootable USB drive? [07:54] yes [07:56] appamajig: Unfortunately I just looked at the LVPM site and found "LVPM currently does not work with installs generated by Wubi 10.04 (patches welcome)", I can help you do it manually though. [07:56] Im having problems with me email server. Everytime I send an email from my gmail to myself at my domain I get a bounceback in gmail stating relay access denied [07:56] i got problems with Gnome PPP [07:56] it says Modem was not Dectected [07:56] Jordan: aaah, ok I was wondering :) [07:56] wxr: thanks for the info! [07:56] appamajig: But it's definitely possible. [07:57] Jordan: if you can point me in the right direction, I can usually figure it out... maybe I should do some google research :P (probably shoulda done that before I Came asking silly questions) [07:57] What codec/plugin do i need to play m4a files? [07:58] hi [07:59] appamajig: The approach that I would take (and there may be an easier one) is somewhat difficult if you're not familiar with the terminal. Basically I would append the needed amount of data to the file using dd, then use ntfsresize to resize the filesystem to use the complete file. [07:59] damn nobody knows [07:59] I would boot a live cd and use gparted to change the partition size. [08:00] john38: you should specify which modem you are using (make/model/...) [08:00] intel 537ep v.9x df pci modem [08:00] Jordan: OK, that makes sense... but you're right, that's a little bit over my head (what you say makes sense, but I'm certain I'll botch it without help :) [08:00] @solomon: i would use a ub stick of gparted, it boots faster [08:00] john38: is that a winmodem/softmodem? [08:01] john38: most of these are not supported by linux [08:01] appamajig: If you do decide to go that route you should probably first backup your root.disk, as something as small as forgetting "conv=notrunc" in the dd command could overwrite the root.disk instead of appending to it. [08:01] i believe it is analog modem [08:01] telephone [08:01] 56k [08:01] appamajig: I can walk you through it if you'd like, just boot from a LiveCD and tell me when you're ready. [08:01] john38: yes, but is it a full modem or a soft modem? [08:02] are there .debs for older kernels anywhere? [08:02] hi, if i'm using a layout which has four characters to a key (ie: uppercase, lowercase, accented uppercase and accented lowercase) how do I access the accented variants of those letters? [08:02] what is full and soft? [08:02] ah, it's right-alt-key [08:02] john38: soft modems need to do everything in the driver, so they are pretty dumb hardware. and the drivers are windows only. [08:03] how do i change a user's umask (not my own's) [08:03] @hilikus: did you check man? [08:03] theres no man [08:03] well i been looking for linux modem version on the internet [08:03] NecroticSoulRot: specifically i do not know and it depends on your player. you might try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras from multiverse repository [08:03] i found some results but most links are broken [08:04] it was a joke lol [08:04] Jordan: Is it possible to resize my existing NTFS partition and create a new partition in it's place? would that be with LVPM? [08:05] hello [08:06] im having difficulty autostarting conky (yes i tried system preferences) as well as editing the grub-pc bootsplash [08:06] john38: last time i used analog modems is 10 years ago, so i don't know which recent modems to recommend [08:07] Hay Every One I'm New Here [08:07] no i mean modem driver [08:07] eyes_only: put iut in your .xinitrc file [08:07] i wasnt talking about modems [08:07] Or if using gnome, system startup [08:07] thune3, that is installed, and when i try to play a m4a file, it wants to install gstreamerplugins-bad wich does not work [08:08] @solomon system startup didnt work, conky exited about 2 seconds after it starts [08:08] i found the tgz versions online but the damn links are broken [08:08] im still searching [08:08] eyes_only: put it in your .xinitrc file. [08:09] exec conky [08:09] exec conky & [08:09] @solomon: yeah will try this now, completely for got about xinitrc [08:09] john38: that because those drivers are proprietary (closed source) and won't ever make it into the mainline kernel source [08:09] If you add the line "exec conky &" to that file, it will load on startup. [08:09] @john38 what is the driver file name? [08:10] intel 537ep v.9x df pci modem [08:10] that is modem [08:10] is anyone havin problems with compiz on ubuntu 10.04? [08:10] eyes_only: to auto-comnplete user names, start typing the anme and use TAB for name completion. I hate that @name crap. [08:10] @solomon: think i should add a delay (forgot the command) before conky? [08:10] sleep 1 [08:10] aswath: yes [08:10] SolomonKane: ah thats handy, sorry solomon [08:11] No problem. [08:11] hi guys, on ubuntu 10.04, the logon screen shows: 7 packages can be updated, 3 security update. how can i see which package are they? [08:11] ari_stress: synaptic, mark all upgrades [08:11] it lists the packages in the update manager, ari_stress. [08:11] NecroticSoulRot: do you have a direct link to a sample file [08:11] Guys! Who do I speak to to fix a pretty crucial typo on http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download ? [08:12] Im having problems with me email server. Everytime I send an email from my gmail to myself at my domain I get a bounceback in gmail stating relay access denied [08:12] ari_stress: go to "system" > "administration" > "updated manager" === iflema is now known as tremmons [08:12] thune3, can i pm it to you? [08:12] aswath: Don't pm. Use #compiz if you want to talk in a quieter channel [08:12] NecroticSoulRot: sure [08:13] willmarshall: what is the error? [08:13] SolomonKane: in the OSX instructions for building the USB stick, there is a missing space === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [08:13] hdiutil convert-format UDRW -o [08:13] eyes_only, ibnarrashid, how about from command line? is it apt-get update && apt-get upgrade? but they don't show me the packages according to the logon screen === tremmons is now known as iflema [08:13] Should be hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o [08:13] Big problem for non-CLI-savvy users who cut and paste ;) [08:13] wow [08:13] nice [08:14] Would be awesome if whoever maintains that page could fix it! Not a wiki, sadly [08:14] eyes_only, ibnarrashid : 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. <-- see, only 1 package upgraded. the logon screen says 7 [08:14] ari_stress: ignore the login screen updates and use the updare manager? [08:14] willmarshall: I dont see it. [08:14] eyes_only: oh i see? [08:14] any ideas eyes only [08:14] SolomonKane: To get it, select USB Stick in option 2, then click "show me how" [08:15] It's in the instructions that appear ;) [08:15] willmarshall: I have been reding it, I know how to find it. I dont see the error. Cant fix something that isnt there. [08:15] ari_stress: apt-upgrade will show you what needs upgrading before installing them after you say yes [08:15] ibnarrashid: apt-get upgrade [08:15] I'm seeing "convert-format" instead of "convert -format" [08:15] john38: whats the file name for the tarball your looking for? [08:16] willmarshall: where is the missing space? Between which words? Which sentence? [08:16] ari_stress: oh yeah, sorry, haven't used apt-get in some time [08:16] hold on [08:17] ari_stress: apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade, which will tell you which ones need updating [08:17] SolomonKane: Direct messaged you more details :) [08:19] Hello folks, which is the name of the applet with chat, mail and social network apps? [08:20] hi [08:20] i want to know a command by which i can know whether i have installed client OS or SERVER os [08:20] is there a way to replicate the action of the middle mouse button, up and down action, by pressing a combinatin of keys on the keyboard?? [08:21] eyes_only: i belive its intel-537ep_secure-227390.tgz [08:21] any answer for my question [08:21] i want to know whether i installed client or server in my machine [08:21] santosh: «client OS», you mean the Desktop edition? [08:22] yes [08:22] john38: ill get right on it with my ninja googling skills [08:22] i want to know how === appamajig is now known as appamaway [08:22] ubuntu came pre-loaded on my new dell vostro laptop [08:22] * appamaway is away: Gone away for now [08:22] but dunno whether it's client or server [08:23] k [08:23] how to know it [08:23] santosh: Does it have a GUI? [08:23] santosh: The server doesn't have a gui installed [08:23] yes it has [08:23] santosh: Ubuntu Desktop, then ;) [08:23] is there any command to tell that [08:23] ? [08:23] how do i solve this problem? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5BvcGs2r [08:23] list <100 [08:23] santosh: did you get the V13? [08:24] 10 [08:24] another curiousity, if we choose guided partitioning, why ubuntu uses ext2 for the /boot? [08:24] santosh: But really, the server and desktop are the same, they only differ in what packages are pre-installed. [08:24] santosh: there is no such command. see for the differences http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/whichbuntu#buntu [08:24] can someone explain this [08:24] what are the packages that would be missing in client from server [08:25] santosh: server comes preinstalled with Apache, PHP, etc. [08:25] santosh: stuff a server would run === appamaway is now known as appamajig [08:25] * appamajig is back. [08:25] hey eyes_only i have the intel 537ep v.9x df pci modem this driver is Intel 537EP V.92 Modem Chipset Driver [08:25] is it the same [08:25] santosh: you can install any of those packages now if you'd like. [08:25] ok [08:25] santosh: man aptitude [08:25] so on client OS i can have these packages installed? [08:25] santosh: yes [08:26] santosh: aptitude is a way to install packages [08:26] ohk [08:26] santosh: read the man page for a quick run down [08:26] Im having problems with me email server. Everytime I send an email from my gmail to myself at my domain I get a bounceback in gmail stating relay access denied [08:27] so if i'm not wrong, after the first installation if apache and php are installed then that's a server OS === luca__ is now known as doktoreas [08:27] if not then it's a client OS === celthunder is now known as celthundar [08:27] santosh: look at the link posted by sappel [08:27] santosh: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/whichbuntu#buntu [08:28] santosh: that will help explain it [08:28] Jordan: I tried to find any responses to my last question, but I may have missed it [08:28] santosh: a desktop/client edition doesn't have those preinstalled, there is not much difference if someone configured it to have a gui, it's basically the same thing, there's really no way to tell the difference except by the packages that are installed [08:28] alguien habla españos?? [08:29] !es | ghoz [08:29] ghoz: 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. [08:29] how do i solve this problem? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5BvcGs2r [08:30] gracias :D [08:32] appamajig: I didn't notice your message because you didn't use my full nick. Yes, it's possible to convert from the wubi style disk image inside your ntfs partition to a standard install in a separate partition, and yes you would normally do that with LVPM. But with that message on the LVPM home page I don't recommend trying it if you're using 10.04. [08:34] im going to bed night people [08:35] Jordan_U oops, sorry about that [08:35] hey eyes_only [08:35] any luck [08:35] appamajig: np :) [08:35] john38: sorry, ill have to look in the morning, been debugging my own troubles [08:36] i found it but when i double click on it i get this [08:36] gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated [08:36] tar: Unexpected EOF in archive [08:36] tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [08:36] Jordan_U: nm, I'll just use the mounted NTFS partition from my Windows Install. That should solve my storage woes :) thanks for your help and advice! [08:36] appamajig: You're welcome. [08:37] john38: look it up using trid [08:37] trid? [08:37] john38: http://mark0.net/onlinetrid.aspx [08:37] ahhh its nice to have a distro that will install nvidia drivers without issues :) [08:38] where do I put my .Xdefaults to load at startup? [08:38] osubuck: but break your boot screen in the process.... damn canonical [08:38] c3l: .xinitrc [08:38] eyes_only: does a hell of a lot better than what suse tries to do [08:39] osubuck: this is true [08:39] is there a way to upgrade the indicator-applet in ubuntu 9.10 ? [08:39] * eyes_only goes to bed and is now idle [08:40] in ubuntu 10 there is a wifi software. i've added an AP and i want to remove it now. where is the data stored? how would i remove it? [08:40] c3l: in your home directory, .xinitrc [08:40] i think my synaptic is broke. every search i do returns with no results but i can do "sudo apt-get install somepackage" and it works fine [08:40] ubernewb: System > Preferences > Network Connections [08:41] Jordan_U: worked like a charm, thank you a lot [08:41] When in "guest-mode" it is possible to access the files from my account. How can i prevent this? [08:41] ubernewb: You're welcome. [08:41] artinstartin, chmod og-r them? [08:41] ibnarrashid: I have no currently, but its safe to just make one and it will be used? [08:41] artinstartin: you can change permissions in your home directory [08:41] artinstartin: It shouldn't be, please file a bug report. [08:42] hello just installed apache2 but now my httpd.conf is empty how can that be? [08:42] ubernewb:# don't know about this command, [08:42] c3l: yes, you can make one, but you need to know what to put in these for sure for X to start [08:42] Jordan_U: oha, ok [08:42] artinstartin: Actually let me double check that before you report it as a bug. [08:43] Jordan_U, default always read to others and group [08:43] Jordan_U: thanks a lot [08:43] *default allows (im not awake yet) [08:43] ubernewb: Yes, but the guest account is limited by apparmor, which can restrict any paths it wants (and does). [08:43] ubernewb:should I just type your comamnd in zthe console? [08:44] when I search for *.avi's with the guest account, it finds all the files from my home account [08:44] artinstartin, chmod og-r /home/ should help but it is only a workaround [08:44] am i right Jordan_U ? [08:45] artinstartin: thats how locate works [08:45] ubernewb: Yes. [08:45] Hi! I have a device listed in fstab with the "user" option. Should I be able to mount it without using sudo? I can't... [08:45] you'd better change the default umask [08:45] should one use .Xresources instead of .Xdefaults? whats the difference? [08:45] artinstartin: if you want a quick fix, do sudo chmod 700 to negate all permissions for other users, they can see the files existence, but can't read/write/execute [08:46] c3l: what are you trying to configure? [08:46] ibnarrashid: thnak you [08:46] ibnarrashid, noo, that would change own prefs, too === BengtRibba is now known as dennis__ [08:47] ubernewb: really? I think it keeps the same owner as long as you don't change to root user doesn't it? [08:47] ibnarrashid: just some general urxvt settigs and colors, might get more in the future [08:47] the default umask is 022, but i prefer 077. you can change in /etc/profile [08:47] c3l: .Xdefaults then, that's the file [08:47] ibnarrashid, it gives all your files rwx. [08:47] ibnarrashid, chomd og-r just removes read access for others and groups [08:48] ibnarrashid: thanks [08:48] ibnarrashid: as long as the other users dont chmod in therre group [08:48] have [08:48] Hey [08:48] artinstartin: Same thing here, so I would first check launchpad to see if the bug has already been filed and if not file a wishlist bug. [08:48] Im havin issues figuring something out. [08:48] ubernewb: oh yeah, forgot about that, sorry [08:48] I nmaped my box and it shows port 61788 open [08:49] this might be interessting to read http://ubuntudemon.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/default-umask/ @ibnarrashid @artinstartin [08:49] I cant find any background on a service that runs on this port besides some SANS internet storm center [08:49] I wanna shut this port off [08:49] artinstartin: yeah, you read what he said, I was thinking about file more specifically than everything in home [08:49] Or the service at least. [08:49] :-( [08:49] Sevith, do netstat -lpn [08:49] ibnarrashid: whant my monoter it lost red lol [08:50] ibnarrashid: and if you dont mind, how does one include .Xdefaults in .xinitrc, I cant seem to find it [08:51] ah, fixed, nevermind [08:51] Jordan_U, funny to encounter a bug [08:51] c3l: you don't in .xinitrc, that's a different file, .Xdefaults is a separate file, I though you were asking about something else [08:51] ubernewb, Wow, I feel like an ubernewb [08:51] c3l: .Xdefaults is the file for URXVT settings, I thought you wanted to have X startup with .xinitrc [08:52] Sevith, i feel with you ;) i came here and asked ubernewb questions 5 mins ago [08:52] ibnarrashid: I want to load .Xdefaults at startup, how? [08:53] c3l: check this for examples http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults, what do you mean you want to start .Xdefaults on start up? [08:53] artinstartin: A wishlist bug. I'm guessing that the designers of the guest session intended it to works as it does now, that doesn't mean it's not a bug but it's an important distinction. [08:53] c3l: anything you put .Xdefaults, becomes the default for those applications that use it [08:54] ibnarrashid: now I have to type xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults for the settings in .Xdefaults to take action [08:54] I want .Xdefaults to be used automatically after each reboot [08:55] hello just installed apache2 but now my httpd.conf is empty how can that be? [08:56] c3l: you could mv .Xdefaults to .Xresources, that works I hear [08:56] Jigal: apache2.conf instead of httpd.conf iirc [08:57] Your installation might be set to use .Xresources instead of .Xdefaults [08:57] ibnarrashid: standard ubuntu 10.04 desktop, like most people in here I guess ;) [08:57] but thanks, ill try that [08:58] hi...my ntfs partition isn't mounting on startup..it just shows up in compuer, and after i click on it it mounts...how do I have it mount up automatically at startup? [08:59] hi...my ntfs partition isn't mounting on startup..it just shows up in compuer, and after i click on it it mounts...how do I have it mount up automatically at startup ? [09:02] paul__: put it in /etc/fstab [09:02] I need help , I am having problem with ddrescue .I cannot output file from a corrupted usb [09:02] please help [09:02] ddrescue -n /media/disk /media/disk-1/USB8GBBK/ rescue.log ddrescue: cannot open output file: Is a directory [09:03] i just did an upgrade with the system updater (gui stuff) [09:03] now it seems like APT broke [09:03] ubuntunewbie: The output file is a directory, it needs to be a file. [09:03] c3l if it's sdb5, what's the command? [09:04] ubuntunewbie: Also, with ddrescue you want to use a device node, not a something like /media/disk for the input file. [09:04] http://codepad.org/Cuac6AjD <-- what has science done?! [09:04] paul__: create a new line at the bottom of the file and add these options in this order on that file: [09:05] c3l would that be sdb5 /media/Volume ntfs ? [09:05] paul__: look at the already existing lines in there. (I want you to learn on your self, but if youre really new to it just tell me and Ill show some more) [09:05] how to completely remove unused kernels?. i want to remove them in my boot grub and system [09:06] c3l would that be sdb5 /media/Volume ntfs ? [09:06] paul__: sdb5 is not the complete path, its /dev/sdb5 [09:06] c3l thanks :) [09:06] mataks: Remove the kernel packages with apt/synaptic. [09:07] Jordan_U, how? im new to ubuntu [09:07] paul__: and you might want to create another mountpoint than /media/Volume, maybe something more descriptive as /media/Uniquediskname (make sure youre the owner [09:07] mataks: Open System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, search for "linux-image", sort by installed packages first, then remove the old ones. [09:08] typ should be what filesystem it is, if ext3 type ext3, if ntfs im not entirely sure its just ntfs, could be some prefix [09:13] Hi all! Is there ANY way to have different wallpapers with TwinView? [09:13] Im having problems with me email server. Everytime I send an email from my gmail to myself at my domain I get a bounceback in gmail stating relay access denied [09:13] (I've got a nice dual-monitor setup, with a nice wallpaper...But that kinda option is in the settings) [09:18] Jordan_U: , I had a corrupted usb thumb drive and I wanted to recover the file , what should I do ? [09:19] Jordan_U : hope you have time to guide me , thank you [09:20] how do i get into a sudo terminal cmd line? [09:20] ubuntunewbie: First find the device name, "sudo blkid" will list information about all of your partitions, hopefully from that you can determine which device (like /dev/sdb1) is your flash drive. [09:21] Jigal: you want to start a terminal as root or get into the root account while in a terminal? [09:21] ibnarrashid: the last option [09:21] Jigal: "sudo -i" [09:21] does ubuntu support usb cdroms to install off? im trying to install ubuntu on a mini itx which i cant get a cdrom into but it keeps erroring [09:21] mark105: yes [09:22] hum [09:22] mark105: Yes, though your BIOS must support it as well (to be able to boot at all) [09:22] Jordan_U : there's too much drive, i cannot identified which one is my thumb drive since all use those weird UDID [09:22] ubuntunewbie: Can you pastebin the output? [09:22] I'm having trouble holding packages from being updated [09:23] yeh it boots it fine and loads up but part way through loading i get all these read errors which is weird cause ive used this cd many times before [09:23] might have to do a media check [09:23] I run "sudo aptitude hold packages" but the update manager insists on updating them [09:23] Im having problems with me email server. Everytime I send an email from my gmail to myself at my domain I get a bounceback in gmail stating relay access denied [09:24] ader10: "aptitude search ~ahold" still lists them? [09:24] Jordan_U : http://pastebin.com/K5H80gTR [09:24] sbach89, did you enable pop3/imap in the preferences gmail online ? [09:24] Jordan_U : i had a lot of partition so it's kinda confuse even for me [09:24] llutz: it lists 2 of them (4 total that I selected to hold) [09:25] It doesn't list libxmlrpc-c3 or libxmlrpc-core-c3 [09:25] ader10: you have to set them all on hold, something went wrong [09:25] But the update manager still wants to update the 2 that aptitude search ~ahold prints [09:25] 0er: I'm just sending an email from my gmail to my domain and that's the error. but yes, pop and imap are enabled in gmail. [09:26] ubuntunewbie: sdc is the only drive with only one partition (sdc1), and it's using vfat. That means that it's likely your flash drive. [09:26] ader10: hmmm, thats weird [09:27] how do i as a user become a member of www-data in order to be able to change files in my webroot? [09:27] Jigal: sudo adduser $user www-data [09:27] Jordan_U : oh , so what about my output drive hard disk ? /media/disk-1/ [09:27] llutz: if it helps you help me, I compiled the packages and installed them with checkinstall [09:27] ader10: try 'echo hold|dpkg --set-selections [09:28] llutz: thanks and how do i get back from my sudo terminal into my user terminal? [09:28] Jigal: ctrl-d [09:28] or type "exit" [09:29] ubuntunewbie: /media/disk-1/ Is what's called a mount point, when you have a device (like /dev/sdc1) and you want to access the files on its filesystem you mount the device to a directory like /media/disk-1/ making the files accessible through that directory. [09:29] how do i go about identifying the app(s) responsible for io (wait) spikes? [09:29] Where should I put commands which need sudo, at boot time? Autostart. [09:29] 8.04.4 [09:29] nadir: Thank you!! [09:30] glaucous: /etc/rc.local [09:30] llutz, and I don't need to put sudo in front of it? [09:30] glaucous: without sudo, will be run as root [09:30] llutz, okay great, thanks [09:30] now on to my last problem (I'm so desperate, I posted a forum thread) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535426 [09:30] hi - trouble with gtk-recordmydesktop. the program crashed, and yet there has been that rectangle which indicates the part of the screen to be selected for recording still! the little rectangle has remained on my monitor over part of the workspace for days! ha. how do i get rid of that rectangle without rebooting or restarting x? [09:31] Jordan_U : sorry i dont quite get it ? I already mount my /media/disk-1/ and make it a directory to output the usb thumb drive , folder /USB8GBBK [09:32] Jordan_U : so what should I change on the mount drive ? so I can output it ? [09:32] ubuntunewbie: ddrescue workes with the device itself, backing up the entire partition bit for bit, so you want to use the device name as the input and the device should not be mounted while you're running ddrescue. [09:33] Jordan_U : oh , so now I need to find my /media/disk-1/ drive device name sda something right ? [09:34] ubuntunewbie: The device name is /dev/sdc1 [09:34] ubuntunewbie: Backing up a bit, can you explain what exactly happened to your flash drive and why you think ddrescue will help? [09:34] Hi! [09:34] I tried to upgrade 8.04 to 10.04 [09:34] upgrade went well but when ill reboot [09:34] ubuntu wont start [09:35] shell justs opens to screen [09:35] Jordan_U : i am also quite confuse , previously running well with the flash drive , not knowing what happen it get corrupted , some file and directory cannot be open , and it all of them had a Lock sign [09:35] Jordan_U : but when I ls the log file it said ls: cannot access ./Files/File 31-2: Input/output error ls: cannot open directory ./Files/File 31-2: Input/output error [09:36] Can Anybody help me out [09:36] init: ureadahed main process (1915) terminated with status 5 [09:36] john38: try it [09:37] ubuntunewbie: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? That will help determine if it's a hardware problem. [09:37] Jordan_U : i am also quite confuse , previously running well with the flash drive , not knowing what happen it get corrupted , some file and directory cannot be open , and it all of them had a Lock sign [09:37] i get this error when i open a tgz file [09:37] gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated [09:37] tar: Unexpected EOF in archive [09:37] tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting no [09:37] i have openchrome driver installed on my system but i cant see its effects === sree is now known as sreR [09:37] Jordan_U : dmesg??? [09:37] What are the default permissions for files in /tmp? Yesterday I added that tmpfs was mounted on /tmp each boot. /tmp folder got drwxrwxrwt, but I got an error message saying something about permissions inside /tmp. Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-glaucous" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [09:38] And this as well, Error: "/tmp/kde-glaucous" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [09:38] glaucous: 1777 [09:38] llutz, do I have to set the permissions each boot? [09:38] glaucous: ups, 1777 is /tmp [09:38] init: ureadahed main process (1915) terminated with status 5 [09:38] any help [09:38] llutz, in fstab that is [09:38] glaucous: if /tmp has 1777 root:root it should work fine [09:39] ubuntunewbie: It's a command which prints error messages from the kernel. [09:39] Jordan_U : i dont know much I just wanted to backup all the files out that all i wanted to do , then will format it [09:39] Jordan_U : how do I use this dmesg command ? [09:39] llutz, I believe this is 1777? drwxrwxrwt 11 root root [09:40] john38: tried redownloading the file? [09:40] glaucous: right. i wonder about your error above, /tmp/kde-$user always should be owned by $user, not root [09:40] ubuntunewbie: Just run "dmesg", or if you want to make it easier to pastebin then install pastebinit (sudo apt-get install pastebinit) and run "dmesg | pastebinit" [09:40] llutz, I think I found it though [09:40] hi - trouble with gtk-recordmydesktop. the program crashed, and yet there has been that rectangle which indicates the part of the screen to be selected for recording still! the little rectangle has remained on my monitor over part of the workspace for days! ha. how do i get rid of that rectangle without rebooting or restarting x? [09:40] yeah several times from diffrent links [09:40] same thing [09:40] llutz, it's only when I run (kate in this scenario) as sudo. Otherwise there's no error [09:40] glaucous: use gksudo, not sudo for gui-apps [09:41] its a modem driver [09:41] glaucous: or kdesudo [09:41] Jordan_U : do I need to specified which directory my flash drive was ? [09:41] llutz, kdesudo, thanks, always wondered what it was called. [09:41] My question is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535426 Please help :) [09:41] glaucous: or was it kdesu? try it [09:41] kdesu [09:42] llutz, first one worked. And now I don't get any errors. [09:42] llutz, what's the big difference between sudo and gk/kde-sudo? [09:42] glaucous: sudo won't set x-permissions right in some cases. one case was your issue [09:43] ader10, '.. but where the guide uses /bin/null I used /dev/null ...´ why ? [09:43] glaucous: or better: file permissions if X is involved [09:43] dev/null is not a folder [09:43] ubuntunewbie: No, dmesg will print all kernel messages since boot (there will be a lot of output). [09:43] llutz, alright, perfect. So I should always use kdesudo when using GUI apps? Not when using commands and scripts? [09:43] Oer: neither is /bin/null [09:43] is there any good way to remake the shadowfiles from the /etc/passwd /etc/group and /etc/shadow [09:43] glaucous: right, sudo only for non-gui-apps [09:43] Oer: I'm pretty sure the author meant to use /dev/null, but if you think he did mean /bin/null I can try it again [09:44] I doubt that's the cause of the problem, though [09:44] Jordan_U : so what does it have to do with the flash drive error ? will dmesg corrupted my kernal ? [09:44] ?? [09:44] llutz, thanks, now I'll try out if my sudo program starts up nicely. Thanks a lot :) [09:44] llutz, oh by the way. /etc/rc.local is only run at boot, not at login right? [09:44] glaucous: right [09:46] Jordan_U: dmesg prints all messages in the kernel message ring buffer. so if kernel messages exceed the size of that buffer, the oldest messages will be removed. [09:46] anybody else help me? [09:46] hello i need immediate help. [09:46] ayush27, what kind of help? [09:47] wxr3516: I know, but that's not really relevant in this instance. [09:47] !dmesg | ubuntunewbie [09:47] Jordan_U: alright [09:47] ubuntunewbie: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [09:48] I need to run linux on my desktop for academic reasons. I'm an IT engineering student. the problem is that my PC is a 700 MHz pentium 3 with 384 MB RAM. which version of ubuntu shall I use? [09:48] hi , whats the difference of i386 and amd64 install ? [09:48] Jordan_U : ok , so it wouldnt do any harm right ? can I output to a text file ? === Traveler9 is now known as lekstok [09:48] ayush27: I'd go with lubuntu.

You can save the output to a file by running "dmesg > /path/to/file.txt" === karlo_ is now known as karlo__ [09:49] hello everybody, my network manager has disapeared!

[ 2963.691086] fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 11925059) [09:54] Jordan_U : wanted to learn more :) [09:54] ubuntunewbie: fsck will hopefully be able to fix the filesystem. Try running "sudo umount /dev/sdc1" then "sudo fsck -y /dev/sdc1" [09:54] llutz, okay it did not work very well with rc.local. First of all one of the softwares is a GUI application which underclocks my GPU, so I guess I need to run it at logon?

[09:55] i am using Wicd but would like to go back to network manager [09:55] llutz, there is an app called Autostart in KDE, but I'm not sure how well sudo will work there? [09:55] ayush27, yes, but you can hardly run a browser there [09:56] llutz, or kdesudo for that matter [09:56] ubuntunewbie: It means that something is wrong with the filesystem, possibly from removing the flash drive without unmounting it first. I don't know the details of exactly what "invalid cluster chain" means, but fsck is the way to go for trying to fix the problem. [09:56] glaucous: if oyu use "kdesudo cmd" it should ask for password after login [09:56] it doesn't boot and sits doing nothing, can someone help please??

[09:59] ayush27: it depends on your definition of "fine". it will run, but to run fast you'll need more RAM [09:59] Somebody help me [09:59] ayush27: I disagree with st__, I think that lubuntu will run fine on that hardware. [09:59] ayush27: and things like firefox etc could be a pain [09:59] Jordan_U, there's text: mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /mnt/music [10:00] Hi!!

[10:02] ubuntunewbie: If there are some files you'd still like to recover you can try a program called "photorec", but if they're not important it may be more trouble than it's worth.

[10:07] lekstok: on dvd you find more useless packages than on cd [10:07] lekstok: yes the dvd contains more software, the same software you get with apt-get in newer version, so use the cd [10:07] l000: sure [10:07] and the best thing is, you can use it for installing not up-to-date packages!

[10:11] hello everybody, my network manager has disapeared! how can i bring it back please? [10:11] !anyone | john38 [10:11] john38: 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? [10:11] lekstok, I've had that happen before, with the original cds. What are you wanting it to do ? [10:11] does someone know a nice guide to tor configuration? i especially look for setting ip last time and restricting ips to regions [10:12] i did ubottu TWice!! [10:12] i have Creative Modem Blaster v.92 PCI DI5633 trying to find closed driver [10:12] DarsVaeda, have you checked the one out on torproject.org ? [10:12] !fsck [10:12] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [10:12] iceroot sow what you are saying that the original cd is not good ? [10:12] Somebody help me?: [10:13] @gonzoism: actually not, i'll do thx [10:13] lekstok, if he is, he is wrong. I've had it do that before. what is the problem ? are you wanting live-cd mode or something ? [10:13] DarsVaeda, :) I hope it helps. [10:14] i enter the cd gonzoism and it boots auto the installation [10:14] i cant enter startx either [10:14] DarsVaeda, if you can write a tutorial about what you are doing, it would probably help the project. There seems to be too little user contributed howto's and info out there. :) [10:14] thats not a question [10:14] something is weird i am a member of the www-data group but i am not able to go to a dir which is owned by www-data how can that be? [10:14] lekstok, right.... but are you wanting it to do something else ? [10:14] lekstok, I mean, is this a problem ? [10:14] yes [10:14] yes :p i want it in a other language [10:15] i'll see [10:15] lekstok, ok... maybe you are wanting to run the OS from [10:15] lekstok, oh [10:15] lekstok, are you watching it while it boots ? [10:15] can somebody help me find Creative Modem Blaster v.92 PCI DI5633 closed driver [10:15] on my older cd i can choose laguage set up keyboard before installation [10:15] yes i watched it [10:16] the logo of ubuntu coms up and a few square blocks that are loading [10:16] lekstok, does the older cd let you choose language on this particular computer ? [10:16] jep [10:16] lekstok, you might want to crc checksum it or check the image on the cd... you may have a bad cd. [10:17] lekstok: In the newer CD's the language selection isn't presented untill after X has started, unless you press any key in the first ~ 5 seconds of boot to get to the isolinux boot menu. [10:17] lekstok, ^ Jordan_U seems to have your answer. Try that. It looks promising. :) [10:18] Does anybody know where to find Creative Modem Blaster v.92 PCI DI5633 closed driver [10:18] Jordan_U so i have to press any key first ?

Though selecting a language won't help much if X isn't starting at all.

[10:24] <.<; [10:24] let's hear it [10:24] whats the solution? [10:24] its-me-again, [10:24] herro [10:24] lekstok, 10.04 ? [10:25] gonzoism: yes [10:25] gonzoism yes [10:25] its-me-again, what is the perfect solution ? [10:25] john38 im not sure, the scanmodem tool can identify the chipset.... the model nummber is usually/was usually not enough.... [10:25] lekstok, netbook version ? [10:25] lekstok: Did you press any key while the screen looked like this: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/Screenshot-1.png ? [10:26] lekstok, The Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop and Netbook CDs feature a new boot interface that is non interactive by default. To configure advanced boot options, press any key at the first boot screen. [10:26] something is weird i am a member of the www-data group but i am not able to go to a dir which is owned by www-data how can that be? [10:26] does anyone know why autorun will not work on my 10.04? === john_ is now known as Guest14203 [10:26] Jigal, permissions may be wrong.... did you chown -x it ? [10:27] What was the command to view all mounted devices? [10:27] gonzoism: chown-x ????? [10:27] i got this driver for another modem intel-537ep_secure-227390.2.tgz [10:27] but its corrupt [10:27] glaucous: mount [10:27] Jigal, i mean chmod -x (removing the executable bit from the directory) [10:27] llutz, oh right. Although I found "df -h", which was what I was looking for :) [10:27] hard work and tears john38, thats the heads up..... [10:27] Jordan_U nope i don't get that [10:28] gon luciod puppy linux puppy 5.1 [10:28] i know i appreciate your help [10:28] he is showing direct ubuntu logo with loading blocks [10:28] gonzoism: how do i do that? [10:28] hello i added sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop..something popsup here.what to choose then? coz i dont know...gdm or lxdm?im lucid [10:28] maybe you could find stable file [10:28] hello i added sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop..something popsup here.what to choose then? coz i dont know...gdm or lxdm?im using lucid [10:29] why is that a gaming solution its-me-again ?? [10:29] Jigal, you don't want to do that... what does ls -l show for it ? [10:29] you said i dont need drivers for external dialup modems [10:29] lekstok: Does your screen go blank for a few seconds? You may not be seeing that scree because your monitor takes a long time to change modes. [10:29] john38 no but you do need a serial port [10:29] john38 or usb to serial adapter [10:29] jigal the drwx---rwx part is what I'm wondering about [10:29] Jordan_U yes [10:30] gonzoism: lucid puppy puppy 5.1install that to a usb or on hdd. adn its the best solution. lucid puppy is supposed to be designed to use lucid apps. its not to good. but if you try ubuntu games just installing the application without any dependances most should run ( if not get them) adn as its much lighter than ubuntu it rocks [10:30] john38 a serial port on ya computer thats is [10:30] l000: depends on what environment you want gnome or lxdm [10:30] llutz, this is correct to mount a ntfs drive, right? "/dev/sda2 /media/WD 500 ntfs defaults 0 0" The locations are correct. [10:30] but i pressed any key atm it does nothing it just starts the install [10:30] Oer: not exactly but thats all its good for [10:30] lekstok: Then press shift a few times after you stop seeing the BIOS screen. [10:30] !ntfs > glaucous not sure, i don't use ntfs [10:30] glaucous, please see my private message [10:30] Maddeth thanks.im using lucid.i think im currently usingE: Couldn't find package xfce gnome..so ill choose lxdm?i want less resources. [10:30] its-me-again, shame shame, all games work on ubuntu, so i do not try your puppy, sorry. [10:30] gonzoism: talking about the nrka2 dir http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/skp7YKA8 [10:30] ubottu, alright [10:30] its-me-again, sounds good. thanks for that info. I'll probably never use it (I don't game...) but i just learned about lucid puppy. thanks. [10:30] i have a 320gb hdd, formatted it using gparted as ext4, it says 298gb total and 4.8gb in use. can someone explain why there is any data in use, and why it says 298 not 320? [10:31] john38 some pci modem work with less hassel if youve some to choose from?!?!?!?!?!/ [10:31] Jigal, i think your permissions are wrong.... [10:31] oer, gonzoism puppy 5.1 runs better especially on older machines for linux gaming [10:31] l000: lxde is a less resource hungry DE than xfce, may be just what you are after [10:31] why wont my CDs autorun? :/ [10:31] john38 best of luck.... and most where made for windows.... so.... yeah... tears. [10:32] gonzoism: ok so what do i have to do to get them right? [10:32] i pressed shift and there is a " - " and it stays that way [10:32] oink [10:32] gonzoism: another thing remember that as lupu is not ubuntu dont install to many ubuntu apps i have broken it seversal times [10:32] Maddeth : so if the system boot.what to choose?theres a small bar at the bottom...whats for gdm and lxdm? [10:32] Jigal, see if there is anyone here that is knowledgeable about permissions. you can paste them this, and tell them the username and group you are using. drwx------ 8 www-data jigal 4096 2010-07-20 17:32 nrka2 [10:32] assuming i have an RS-232 serial port i should go with External [10:32] l000: not sure I am afraid try choosing lxdm [10:33] gdm is for gnome [10:33] Jigal, um. what is your username and what group are you in ? maybe I know it. I'm kinda crappy with permissions though.... [10:34] i even used bt4 and that works perfect [10:34] Maddeth : so if i reboot, what to choose?gnmoopenbox?xterm? [10:34] hi [10:34] john38 if ya got one laying around definitely..... there a little thin on the ground these days and expensive'ish [10:35] can anyone tell me what the - means in this line of rsyslog configuration? `local0.* -/mnt/log/pusher/haproxy.log` [10:35] can anyone help me understand partitioning and file systems etc? [10:35] !who | john38 [10:35] john38: 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 :) [10:35] Jordan_U : Thanks a lot , I think the USB flash drive is fix , now I can copy and delete files inside [10:35] Hey. I'm using 'dd' to look at the end of a drive. If I skip=x sectors, a label appears at octal = y. But I need to know how many sectors to skip to make the label appear at octal = 0040000. I can convert octal to decimal, but how do I convert decimal to sectors? [10:35] Thanks a lot :) [10:36] lekstok, you may have a bad image. compare bit sums... [10:36] ubuntunewbie: You're welcome. [10:36] Jordan_U : :D [10:36] iflema: im looking at a USB fax/modem its small connect to computer via usa other end is RJ11 [10:36] l000: not sure sorry, stuck on windows at the moment at work, so cant have a play or do too much googling at the moment [10:36] gonzoism: how do i find out my group? [10:37] iflema: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825180014 [10:37] john38 the ones with a serial connection are an absolute breeze [10:38] now it doesnt doing anything at all oink [10:38] Jigal, maybe chmod ugo+x directory_name will fix that. that is kinda like using a really big hammer for a tiny nail though.... you may not want those perms on that directory.... like I said, I'm bad with permissions. you can read about permissions at tldp.org or google for something explaining permissions. [10:38] gonzoism: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/TnEMhfya [10:38] Jigal, groups command [10:38] Jordan_U : gtg so see you then ;) [10:38] john38 its hard to know if the usb is supported in the kernel of via modules..... [10:38] gonzoism: ??? [10:39] so the serial port ones dont need drivers [10:39] john38 or via modules not of [10:39] ubuntu open source supports it [10:39] john38 no, but do require a serial port, which is commonly not found on new computers [10:40] john38 different beast all together....... Have you posted in the ubuntu forumns? [10:40] olly__: "all messages of facility local0 were logged to /mnt/...." [10:41] iflmea: lets say i do have serial port [10:41] Jigal, yah, that is permissions error [10:41] Jigal, see the --- and --- parts of the dwrx part ? [10:41] yes john38 [10:41] gonzoism: ok i used your big hammer solutions [10:41] Jigal, did that fix it ? [10:41] gonzoism: looks like problem solved [10:42] hi people! what's the difference between useradd and adduser? and which one is better to add a valid and independent user that has his own home dir, can be a sudoer and all? [10:42] gonzoism: not really how can i do the same for all subdirectories [10:43] progre55: both can do that, i prefer adduser [10:43] Jigal, :) if it is a security concern, you can brush up on the correct chmod 0744 or whatever and correct it any time. :) maybe chmod -R or chmod -r for recursion. man chmod, hit the / key, type whatever you are searching for (recursive) [10:43] Jigal, q to quit [10:43] progre55: adduser [10:43] gonzoism: can i use that big hammer command also recursively [10:43] llutz: are there any additional options I have to specify in order to do that? or will just saying "adduser username" do it all by default? [10:43] hi all, my system uses openchrome driver and has 1 gb ram but still has a higher rate of draw wh? [10:44] well I will ofcourse do the sudoers thing manually [10:44] redraw why? [10:44] progre55: you can do it threw a ui to in admin and users and groups [10:44] progre55: adduser later "sudo adduser newuser admin [10:44] john38 if you type the first few letters of my nick ( ifl )and then press the TAB key it will complete it, avoided typeos.... just in case you need t okeep asking here... it avoids redundancy [10:44] gogeta: that's a server with no UI [10:45] progre55: set all there premissions groups etc [10:45] ah [10:45] llutz: thanks [10:45] progre55: try to stick with non-gui apps which are available on most systems [10:45] hi all, my system uses openchrome driver and has 1 gb ram but still has a higher rate of redraw why? [10:45] llutz: server was a good enough answer lol [10:46] llutz: yeah, that's what I do =) and even if I wanted to use the gui, I wouldnt be able to ) === Zeus_ is now known as Zeus__ [10:46] Jigal, i think... I was telling you how to search the man page for that. I'll do that for you. man is great for that kind of stuff [10:46] progre55: untrue thers some neat trick you can do with fb mode [10:46] tricks [10:46] gogeta: if you read here for a while you'll see, server doesn't mean "no-gui" for most of the guys :( [10:46] Jigal, yah, -R (capital R) [10:46] gogeta: over ssh? [10:47] progre55: no fb mode is a framebuffer bash [10:47] oh [10:47] Hello! I have two HDD on my computer and for my data files I have choose the mount point ext4 /home. What should be the mount point for my second HDD? Also, if I leave if without a mounting point. Are they going to appear as file systems? [10:47] progre55: so if your server had a monoter you could even watch a movie [10:48] llutz: gogeta: Ubuntu Server does not install a GUI by default, and neither do most users of Ubuntu server. [10:48] iflema, how bout this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825134002 [10:48] my system has a high rate of redraw even though it has the 3d drivers installed [10:48] Jordan_U: gui and fb mode are 2 diffrent things [10:48] gogeta: well, the server is located in the amazon clouds, so I dont think I could do that =) [10:48] buenas tardes [10:48] progre55: probly not [10:48] o buenos dias [10:49] hay algun español? [10:49] progre55: but its a cool trick if your a server admin [10:49] =) [10:49] progre55: my managers always hated i could get there servers to do that [10:49] hello friend [10:49] gogeta: lol [10:49] hi mate =) [10:49] every startup gksudo asks me for a password when password accepted it says gksudo has no parameter. how do i remove it from startup? [10:49] john38 if its serial.... itll fly..... in the dialup software ya just point it to the /dev/..... hang on let me look [10:50] Zeus__, they will probably be auto-mounted if they are already formatted. you could always mount it in /mnt or in /media/sdxx (xx being whatever) [10:50] progre55: Use mplayer with aalib to watch ascii movies over ssh :) [10:50] Buenas [10:50] hay algun español? [10:50] Jordan_U: what about sound? [10:50] iflema, i use gnome ppp [10:50] xxrocieroxx: Sí, pero ve a #ubuntu-es :) [10:50] progre55: i entently enabled fb mode on all of them then take are little lcd monoter and some speakers and connect to one of the blades [10:50] gonzoism, what if I leave them without a mounting point? are they going to appear as file systems? [10:51] !es | xxrocieroxx [10:51] xxrocieroxx: 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. [10:51] ¡gracias [10:51] progre55: and watch moves [10:51] Jordan_U: ascii? 0_o I'll try that right away! )) [10:51] how do I download the source code for a program? [10:51] in ubuntu? [10:51] Hey. I'm using 'dd' to look at the end of a drive. If I skip=x sectors, a label appears at octal = y. But I need to know how many sectors to skip to make the label appear at octal = 0040000. I can convert octal to decimal, but how do I convert decimal to sectors? [10:51] Zeus__, they will most likely be auto-mounted. so yes, a filesystem auto mounted in /media/ and you will most likely get an icon on your desktop.... :) [10:51] mains_power: apt-get source package [10:51] is there a gui way to do it? [10:52] the source code comes with most programs [10:52] in the src folder [10:52] john38 you need to confirm.... apparently there where some dumb if you will external modems released after 2002..... tears [10:52] mains_power, well, you can get it from the projects home page as well as a tarball, whatever.tar.gz [10:52] tim, a sector is 512 byte [10:52] progre55: its nice being these blades are on fiber [10:52] #ubuntu-.es [10:52] progre55: fasst [10:52] gogeta: you bet ) [10:52] Where is the src folder? [10:52] xxrocieroxx: type, /join #ubuntu-es [10:53] iflema, what i idint understand [10:53] mains_power: if you downloaded a deb package u r out of luck [10:53] Jordan_U: do I have to install the lib separately or does it come with mplayer? cause I cant find any mplayer plugins with aalib ) [10:53] Does Ubuntu come with the source code for the programs installed? [10:53] iflema, confirm i have serial port? [10:53] mains_power, what program are you wanting the source to ? [10:53] Jordan_U: or were you just kidding? [10:54] =) [10:54] Well Google chrome [10:54] mains_power: donwload the source-package not the binary package (deb) [10:54] mains_power: each program has it's own source code layout and built mechanism, either use apt-get source or consult each application's home page [10:54] mains_power: which pgm do u want? [10:54] right violinappren, but i still don't know how to use that info [10:54] john38 no, if you go to purchase a "new" external dialup...... [10:54] You can't get the source code for google chrome, can you? [10:54] and thank you for the reply [10:54] only chromium? [10:54] mains_power: or have a look at man apt-get there was an opion to download the source-package [10:54] iflema: who said dialup [10:54] I want the source for google chrome [10:54] john38 point the software to /dev/ttys0 [10:55] ok got it [10:55] progre55: -vo aa [10:55] john38 if not /dev/ttyS1 [10:55] not dev/modem [10:55] mains_power: go to the official website [10:55] esta el canal vacio [10:55] mains_power, just type apt-get source chrome or whatever the package is called. or you can go to the chrome website and get the latest sources. (ubuntu patches won't be applied, but I doubt you would notice that or that it would really matter.) [10:55] mains_power: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code [10:55] john38 only if you make the shortcut [10:55] iflema: dialup people still use that [10:55] :) [10:55] iflema: where do you live the desert [10:56] lol [10:56] mains_power: also try srware iron [10:56] gogeta, im helping this person with computer [10:56] gogeta go easy... where lucky ;) [10:56] !dialup [10:56] You want to connect via dial-up?

[11:00] thank you all :) [11:00] bye [11:00] wow, it is cool to watch movies in ascii mode :D [11:00] john38: scanmodem a tool also listed there will tell you what driver your modem needs [11:01] john38: then the guide will tell where where and how to install [11:01] Hi all, im having major problems trying to get mysql installed [11:01] !details | terrid [11:01] terrid: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [11:02] does scanmodem allow me to download modem driver [11:02] john38: it simply tells you what modem and driver it uses [11:02] I rebooted on moday and when i tried to start mysql, i got the following: Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! [11:02] john38: like connex [11:03] john38: and so on [11:03] i then thought I'd remove mysql-client and mysql-server [11:03] gogeta, i got a creative modem blaster v.92 pci DI5633 [11:03] but it just hangs on 'Stopping MySQL database server mysqld' [11:03] gogeta, is that connex [11:03] I'm using Karmic [11:04] john38: scanmodem will tell you and it sounds like a winmodem [11:04] can anyone help?

I'm using 'dd' to look at the end of a drive. If I skip=x sectors, a label appears at octal = y. But I need to know how many sectors to skip to make the label appear at octal = 0040000. How do I convert the difference between two octals into sectors? [11:10] when i download scanmodem tool [11:10] and i run [11:10] john38: yes your going to need to use scanmodem and find out its chipset lspci only gives you the brand name [11:10] violinappren: any ideas? [11:10] terrid: the access denied message is because you have no user named 'blah', root can still login [11:10] john38: scanmodem makes a text file just read it [11:11] gogeta, run in this the process will it download the necessary driver [11:11] hello [11:11] john38: just sudo scanmodem then read the text file [11:11] ok [11:11] how can I boot when mountall cannot mount some filesystem? [11:11] john38: gets made in the dir you run it [11:11] gogeta, what im going to is install modem in this computer [11:11] How do you tab through multiple terminal tabs in Ubuntu's default terminal app?

Yesterday, everything was fine. Internet was fast and amsn worked. Today, when I turned it on, amsn doesn't connect and internet is slow in several sites, and I can't even open some (wikipedia, yahoo mail). I don't thing I altered anything in the configuration, but I think I updated the system with the update manager. Any idea what i hapening?

[13:49] SaintSapphire: it doesn't work like that [13:49] Cool_C, maybe this helps => http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/remove-evolution-mail-notifier-from-indicator-applet-in-ubuntus-system-tray/ [13:49] SaintSapphire: you need to make the host machine multi-lib and meet it's dependencies [13:49] SaintSapphire: there is a switch that you can pass to the compiler [13:50] SaintSapphire: aka cross-compiling for diff architectures [13:50] If you dont have the 32 bit libs its useless [13:50] dual boot problem with netbook edition any1? [13:50] Ah, so I can compile to 32-bit, but without extra libs, I can't execute the compiled software? [13:50] geirha: no information is given on how to update the motd.

Is it simple to add 32bit libs? Or am I going to start drowning as soon as I start? [13:51] violinappren - Any ideas? [13:52] SaintSapphire: it is as simple/difficult as adding packages [13:52] Guest55021: i suspect it's a bluetooth issue [13:52] gogeta: check all the pins on your monitor cable/PC vga port [13:53] If any1 can help, I lost my sound. I have no hw to config. I had sound yesterday. here is my hw list. http://pastebin.com/3Ssx3Lbu [13:53] phlak_user: Is there a list of which packages I'd need somewhere? [13:53] violinappren - The box says it is a 2.4 GHz wireless. I don't think bluetooth is involved. [13:53] could anybody help about screensaver in GDM [13:53] Guest55021: aha interesting [13:53] SaintSapphire: depends entirely on what you're trying to build; you should typically look for the relevant packages with libxyz-dev [13:54] Guest55021: if you also have a wi-fi router, it could be due to interference; change the channel on the router and try again [13:54] hi [13:54] !hi | ankur [13:54] ankur: Hi!

[15:27] complete [15:28] violinappren: the bot gives handy stuff i need at times no abuse going on [15:28] abhinav_singh1: alias something='some long thing' [15:28] HI [15:28] its-me-again: /msg ubottu [15:28] !hi | kid [15:28] kid: 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! === Riddelll is now known as Riddell [15:29] violinappren: autocomplete [15:29] ben72: there is no difference in either id's ? it has to be something different about them. read this http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html the part about sysfs and udevinfo. something must tell the two apart [15:29] Nubulis_Maximus: there's no "auto-complete" feature except in some text editors, take a screenshot [15:29] hmm, toll, 2nd try: how can i set encoding ibm 437 in my terminal? [15:30] which package has 'lspci' ? [15:30] violinappren: Thank you very much.....i have made alias [15:30] -bash: lspci: command not found === anon_ is now known as an0n [15:31] violinappren: maybe autocomplete is the wrong explanation, it's actually more like word suggestions, of previously typed text [15:31] !details lspci [15:31] erUSUL, thanks but is there anything else but vendor and product id that can tell them apart? === an0n is now known as ampzz === ampzz is now known as ampzz^ [15:31] splnet: pciutils [15:31] violinappren: tried screen shot, but when i leave page it disappears [15:32] Nubulis_Maximus: do you mean in firefox ? [15:32] Anyone here has use remasterys? [15:32] violinappren: thx! [15:32] abhinav_singh1: you're welcome [15:32] ben72: udevinfo shows a lot of atributs run it for the two devices. compare. [15:33] I've got a problem where I ran a wasp uninstall script and it got rid of my login screen theme? How do I restore it? [15:33] erUSUL, you mean lsusb -v ? [15:33] Hi i got a problem with rsync and RSA-Key authentification. I use a Private-Key with passphrase (stored in ~/.ssh/id_rsa). This key is somehow managed by ssh-agent and works quiet well for SSH-Connections (i only have to type in the password once during gnome-session). [15:33] The Problem is that this doesn't work for the rsync command ( $ rsync -avz -e 'ssh' user@server:/remotePath /localpath)! [15:33] I allways have to give the Server-Password. [15:33] When i use something like this: [15:33] m_ondkalb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:33] $ rsync -avz -e 'ssh -i /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa' user@server:/remotePath /localpath [15:33] it works by asking for passphrase, but i have to type the passphrase every time i use that command. [15:33] violinappren: just checked it is just firefox, [15:34] was thinking it was in other apps as well, but it's not [15:34] Nubulis_Maximus: edit > preferences > privacy > turn off "remember search and form history" [15:34] A few days ago, I was using a 9.10 live cd to move files from a NTFS Truecrypt file container. the file operations dialogue stole focus while I was trying to type du in the xterm. This caused the move to stop, and the source directory disappeared. The free space on the source filesystem shows as the same as before, so it looks like a filesystem error. is this right? should I attempt to mount it in windows to fix it? [15:34] m_ondkalb: use rsa keys over ssh [15:35] Rumors say Ubuntu 10.50 Ñu is in development [15:35] violinappren: Thank you [15:35] 10.50 Ñu [15:35] Nubulis_Maximus: you're welcome [15:36] !ot | el [15:36] el: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[15:38] hello [15:38] how long does mingw usually take to install from the .sh file? [15:38] abhinav_singh1: nano ~/.bashrc [15:39] can you suggest me a guide to set up a ubuntu 10.04 on usb drive? [15:39] !manual | hsa2 [15:39] hsa2: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [15:39] hsa2, flash usb key?

[15:40] , [15:40] abhinav_singh1: for example: alias ll = 'ls -l' [15:40] bazhang, what is persistent? does it mean saving the changes during run? [15:40] violinappren yes i have written it in .bashrc but how to save that .bashrc file? [15:40] I'm looking for something that will show when and to which wireless network(s) I have connected to. Is there a tool for this? A log file? [15:41] how to record audio playing by any app??? [15:41] hsa2, saved between boots, yep [15:41] abhinav_singh1: ctrl + o and ctrl + x [15:41] erUSUL, ATTRS{serial} are different for the devices so maybe I can use that.. [15:42] rallias: also make sure to set $PATH to the user's bin directory in .bashrc [15:42] ben72: yep [15:42] aretrfre34, from which software you want to record audio? [15:43] hsa2 if you want linux on a usb stick ilook up penpdrivelinux install it on your pc download the linux of your choice and pendrive linux will install in on your usb stick then boot from your usb and it will work... [15:43] violinappren yes i have done that....will it work from the next reboot? [15:43] rallias: my web server does this because I share a server with a few other websites. [15:43] abhinav_singh1: if syntax is correct, yes [15:43] abhijit:any, empathy, rhythmbox [15:43] violinappren ok i am rebooting my system [15:43] aretrfre34, check here http://all-streaming-media.com/record-audio-stream/ [15:44] rileyp, i am reading something about /tmp, as far as i can understand, keeping the /tmp on usb drive makes usb drive's life short ha? [15:44] good guys,how can i use audio/video chatting using pidgin 2.6.2? [15:44] hsa2, yes, same thing with swap partition [15:45] hsa2 http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/ [15:45] Daekdroom, i have a 4 gb usb drive, installing linux on 3 gb and using 1 gb as swap is OK right? [15:45] andres_: right click and it should be there, if the other client supports it [15:45] hsa2, I don't think you should use SWAP in a USB drive. [15:45] Daekdroom, why is that? [15:45] hsa2: 1 GiB of swap is a waste in that situation [15:45] andres_, when you start conversation with someone then on there is conversation=>audio / vedio call or right click and you wll get same option [15:45] hsa2, it uses too much write cycles on the USB drive. [15:46] mhh [15:46] hi i got a problem with ssh-agent and rsync command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/467029/plain/ [15:46] what if i plug my usb drive to others computers, and what if they don't have enough ram? [15:46] abhijit_thank u..ill try it [15:46] Daekdroom, Im with you insatll it all on one partation [15:47] hsa2, for that matter, you could try installing a lightweight version like lubuntu [15:47] andres_, ok [15:47] violinappren_thank you [15:47] anyone seen official ktechlab channel? [15:47] hsa2: That's right. Flash RAM can't handle very much writing. My company's policy is to refuse to put a complete OS on any flash device until this has been fixed, for this reason. [15:48] What log file can I look at or what tool can I use to show which wireless network(s) I've connected to and when? [15:48] or4 gb drive install damnsmall linux 50 mb! and it runs webbrowser and all [15:48] i see [15:48] may be i should try a mre lightweight distro [15:48] *more [15:48] hsa2: What are you trying to do? [15:49] clusterfusk, getting a fully running linux on a usb drive [15:49] hsa2: but why? [15:49] hsa2 damnsmalllinux is very impressive! [15:49] violinappren it is working ...thankin you very much for your support [15:49] to use it while i am not on my own pc [15:49] rileyp, it's name is also impressive :P [15:49] and its 50 mb [15:49] hsa2 puppy [15:49] *its [15:49] hsa2: ubuntu, but not stock on usn [15:50] *usb [15:50] you can make a dsl usb stick in a ~5- 10 minutes and be up and running [15:50] hsa2: I would try puppy linux. It runs entirely in RAM, preventing the problems with flash write cycles === lance_ is now known as Guest52500 === avidya is now known as wai [15:51] clusterfusk, my concern is that, the computer i run may not have enough ram === wai is now known as avidya [15:51] hsa2: how much do you have [15:51] ? [15:51] abhijit:i'm not supporter of proprietary [15:51] hsa2: puppy is small enough so any computer should be able to run it [15:51] irated, i have enough, but others may not [15:51] whats the minium? [15:52] aretrfre34, dunno then i just found that link in google [15:52] clusterfusk, does puppy have any de? [15:52] hsa2: look up slitaz, imo i don't like it stock but with some fine tuning mayve [15:52] irated, 512 mb may be [15:52] abhijit:it's ok [15:52] I had to upgrade Ubuntu Netbook with do-distribution-upgrade, but now the panels are messed up and the desktop shows instead of the menu. What settings should I change? [15:52] hsa2, http://www.puppylinux.org/ [15:52] hsa2 http://www.pendrivelinux.com/all-in-one-usb-dsl/ [15:53] hsa2: assuming you mean desktop environment, yes. I suggest reading about it. hold on, let me find a link for you [15:53] hsa2: I have never used puppy linux but dsl is nice [15:53] what happens to hosts that are in both hosts.allow and hosts.deny ? [15:53] Is there a page I should look at? [15:53] hosts.allow takes precedent iirc [15:53] is there a package for compat-wireless? [15:54] irated: Does it run all in RAM, or does it still write /tmp or /var to disk? [15:54] Just try dsl and have a play.... [15:54] clusterfusk: dsl runs in ram [15:54] yep [15:54] clusterfusk: almost all isos run in ram [15:55] I had to upgrade Ubuntu Netbook with do-distribution-upgrade, but now the panels are messed up and the desktop shows instead of the menu. What settings should I change? [15:55] How do you install ath9k driver? ( appart from source ) [15:55] irated: alight then. DSL would be a good option, too for hsa2, too.

But the iPod cannot have large files. So I need to split it. How do I do this? I know I can use 'split', but then she cannot restore the file in Windows.

[16:19] Chum_Chum: that's probably coming from a client using your mail server, rather than your actual mail server [16:19] i have ubuntu 10, can i install kubuntu desktop? Is it safe? [16:19] Chum_Chum: what mail server are you using [16:19] <||x]x||> ActionParsnip: PC2 & PC3 are windows xp boxes [16:19] ||x]x||: then just go for it, by default the ports are open so you have nothing to do, just tell them to connect [16:19] nagendra: sure can [16:19] erUSUL, I am using your proposed command right now, but it is very slow. The files that I am compressing cannot be compressed any futher, so I think that it is a waste to actually try to compress it. Does 7z have a 'fast' mode or something like that, that does not compress (much)? [16:19] nagendra: look at the package kubuntu-desktop [16:19] hotmail (windows live) [16:19] Will the os be stable?

More than 3GB if you want to hibernate. [17:17] JoeSomebody - Less if you do not. [17:17] I've installed gdm without installing the recommended xserver.

[17:19] cablop - See the known bugs. There are some PPAs and Envy, but under Lucid, it can cause some real work. I am using the repos... [17:20] justin_: yes, did you install extensions on firefox for ubuntu ? [17:20] i did a remote do-release-upgrade and right after seeting up alsa-base i am getting process 16752: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file dbus-errors.c line 278.

Error: xyz: command not found. ;;; how can i achive such a behaviour [17:20] there's nothing in the logs [17:20] am I sol or can I ignore that error [17:21] Good afternoon. I have quite a severe issue with ubuntu 10.04 x86 installer. I can boot into the cd, but when I select either to boot as live cd or to installer, I get absolutely nothing, and the disk stops spinning after a minute. Has anyone else got this issue?

[17:21] firefox none that i know of [17:21] m_ondkalb: its thinking xyz is a command, so your syntax is wrong [17:21] ubuntu just after it stoped working [17:21] ** there's nothing in the messages log [17:21] lee_ what is Envy? i sohow know what is PPA, but not Envy [17:21] i tried all te javas and flash [17:21] Andre_ - Intel chipset? See the Lucid known bugs and workarounds. [17:21] like, about the unmount or failure [17:22] justin_: your facebook games stopped working in ubuntu or windows ? [17:22] ubuntu [17:22] windows works just super slow [17:22] I can't tell if my upgrade is stuck in an infinite loop [17:22] it keeps reporting the same error [17:22] justin_: did this game use flash ? [17:23] gdoteof: it is likely broken :( [17:23] lee_, it's a Intel processor with a nvidia graphics card. if you could give me a link to the bugs and workarounds I'd be grateful. I think the chipset is SiS or something. [17:23] is it recoverable.. what would you recommend? [17:23] i dont know im guess ing all the games on fb are flash based [17:23] so iv been told any way [17:23] gdoteof: not likely [17:23] gdoteof: what is the error?

[17:27] each error appears to be happening at the same interval within ~10ms [17:27] hi! I have internet access via a usb-dongle. Is there an easy way of sharing internet through Wifi?

[17:40] ah [17:40] does my clound have a public add.?

I am running Ubuntu native 10.04 and I have windows 7 on a VM. When I partitioned my external HDD with Ubuntu in FAT32 to be compatible with windows, Windows tell me that I need to reformat again [18:11] what would be a good way to find out the entire list of packages that are built for arm lucid? looking at packages.ubuntu.com/lucid it only lists packages for amd64 and i386 [18:11] abs: so... you found the ppa after your question? Or did I not get the question? [18:11] So I reformat my external HDD in FAT2 using Windows 7 and only then I am compatible on both platforms [18:11] could anyone tell me why is that ? [18:12] can someone tell me if its possible to run googletalk on ubuntu? [18:12] tgall_foo: dpkg -l [18:12] through wine or something? [18:12] oCean_, i'm wondering if there is xbmc in ubuntu repository not ppa, since i'm using maverick ... sorry my english is not good [18:13] Kingsy, there are good alternative for googletalk e.g. empathy or pidging, also you can try prism for google talk. [18:13] Kingsy: isn't gtalk in gmail now? [18:13] oh you can use pidgin for it? [18:13] oCean_, xbmc in ubuntu lucid repository [18:13] violinappren, that's the list of installed packages ... I'm more interested in the complete list of packages that are built ... so that I can start adding to that list via ppa and hopefully get those pushed into motu [18:14] abhijit - ok well I have just added my gmail account to pidgin .. how does it connect? [18:14] how and where should the cables be connected for xbmc, what cable goes to what? [18:14] abs: okay, I understand now :) You can use packages.ubuntu.com to search ubuntu repositories, or searching the way ikonia did here.. [18:14] zongo_, ultimlately it's up to microsoft to decide what file systems they do and don't support I'm afraid ... you'd think fat32 would be on that list [18:15] Kingsy, you add your account and ebale it. then each time you run pidgin it will automatically connect. [18:15] oCean_, ok thanks will do that :) [18:16] tgall_foo, yes you would, the weirdest is that you can most definetely read FAT 32 when formated with Windows on Ubuntu but not the opposite [18:17] I was just wondering as for my personal curiosity why is that [18:17] zongo_, sounds like a bug [18:17] how do I activate the personal filesharing feature in ubuntu? it says that i have'nt installed the needed package? how do i install it? [18:17] abhijit - working like a charm .. thanks man [18:17] Hi, I'm setting up an LTSP server and I read that ebox is Ubuntu's preferred web-based management package. It looks, though, that ebox can only create ldap users, and not Linux users, which are needed (as I understand it) for LTSP. Is this right? [18:18] Kingsy, welcome :) [18:18] I ended up formatting my external HDD with NTFS and I can read NTFS on Ubuntu without adding any drivers [18:18] which most definitely rocks [18:18] Failican: you mean samba probably; install that, then share using nautilus, right click the folder you want to share, then properties, then share tab [18:18] !yay | zongo_ [18:18] zongo_: Glad you made it! :-) [18:19] VCoolio: okej i have samba installed but not nautilus, how do i get that? [18:20] Failican: nautilus is the default file browser in ubuntu, just open any folder and you're there [18:21] Hi all! I have a problem: all browsers work much slower (min. 2 times) in Ubuntu 10.04 than in Windows. The pages are loaded fast, but it looks like the browser cannot resolve DNS for 5-30 sec. before loading. How to fix it? [18:21] VL [18:22] VCoolio: sry for me being a noob :) i just saw it now and thanks i think it works now ;) ill go check on the popcorn ;) [18:22] Help! I have 4 minutes to locate a PDF file on my Kubuntu laptop; I don't know what it's called, but I know it was created April 14 or April 15. How can I use Strigi to find this file? Or should I stick to Krusader? [18:22] Failican: you also need the package 'nautilus-share' to be able to do as I said [18:22] kwtm - find would probably work. [18:23] Hey there.. [18:23] Does anyone know how to fix the GDM2 resolution ? [18:23] brennen: How do I use find please? Is it "find .*pdf ~"? And can I take advantage of this Strigi/Nepomuk thing, or is that not really relevant to daily use? [18:23] Hi! [18:23] I`m Kubuś. [18:23] Jakiś Pro? [18:24] Komu muszę wyjebać? [18:24] kwtm: i doubt most folk in here know how to use strigi [18:24] Dawid: english please [18:24] Bo nie rosu.... [18:24] Zaraz wpierdol!

The pages are loaded fast, but it looks like the browser cannot resolve DNS for 5-30 sec. before loading. How to fix it? [18:25] twbks: #kubuntu folks would know better (though i'm one of them and dont...have never bothered to use "semantic desktop"...just know where i put stuff) [18:25] q [18:26] CbIP: did you try disabling the IPv6 protocol? [18:26] kwtm: use find ? touch -d "13 April" /tmp/a ; touch -d "April 16" /tmp/b ; find $HOME -name '*.pdf' -newer /tmp/a ! -newer /tmp/b -print [18:26] kwtm: not sure it it will work ... try it and see [18:27] kwtm: it will search in your home if you want to search the whole machine put / instead of $HOME [18:27] jasmuz: it seems to be disabled - I checked "ignore" in the connection settings [18:27] ciao [18:28] ciao a tutti === Thiago is now known as Guest18306 [18:28] Has anyone here got modern warfare 2 to successfully run well on 10.04?

[18:31] aeon-ltd: I was just wondering to see if I could get a feel before It installs entirely. I guess I'll find out :P [18:31] roky: why not just run in windows? [18:31] brennen: Thanks for tip. How to limit to exactly April 14 or 15? (not earlier)? === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [18:32] aeon-ltd: It is on windows as well, I just would rather have it on Ubuntu...Like many of us here if possible. [18:32] roky: i wouldn't at the cost of stability and quality [18:33] aeon-ltd: It can be just as stable. Just needs extra configuration. I take it you have had bad experiences with wine. Some of us, would prefer not to use windows. If possible. Like I said before. [18:34] brennen: Sorry, man find doesn't tell me how to get a file NEWER than April 13, but OLDER than April 16. Tips? [18:34] anyone successfully running itunes on ubuntu? [18:35] !itunes | mkquist [18:35] mkquist: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [18:35] roky: no bad experience, just find it unneccessary if i had win [18:35] kwtm: already told you [18:36] kwtm - that other tip above seems to have been on the right track. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-programming-scripting/87732-find-all-files-modified-date-range.html [18:37] why do I get LANG= and LC_*="POSIX" [18:38] erUSUL: Thx, will try to understand your command. Was hoping not to have to use the touch command; thought that modifies filetimes. If find command has "older than" and "newer than" flags, then would help; otherwise I will try your method --looks like we need to esstablish a /tmp directory [18:38] there's nothing to that effect in .bash_profile [18:38] hi, flash uses 100% cpu can someone help me please ? [18:38] or /etc/profile [18:38] erUSUL: Also, is that correct that one date is "13 April" with month last, and the other is "April 16" with month first? === hsa2|gone is now known as hsa2 [18:39] kwtm: yes, find has -mtime, for usage with +3 (older than 3 days) or -3 (files since 3 days ago) [18:39] kwtm: touch is clever enough to parse it [18:39] kwtm: i tried here and seems to not work so well [18:39] ubuntu_: hardware accel? === ^peanut^ is now known as BlT [18:40] have a nvidia 6150 - how do i enable hardware accel aeon-ltd ? [18:40] ubuntu_: right click on whatever flash app you have running [18:41] Suspend broke recently on my Thinkpad X60s ... is that a known bug? Doesnt seem to be the kernel. [18:41] aeon-ltd i need nvidia-driver.... or not ? [18:41] ubuntu_: wait are you using open source or propri.? [18:41] aeon-ltd i use opensource standard driver [18:42] ubuntu_: try the proprietry it mught help, but try the right click thing 1st [18:42] hello [18:42] aeon-ltd i will try this ...if it doesnt work i will be back ;-) [18:42] ubuntu_: k [18:43] oCean_: Ohh!!! I get it, "+" means older than and "-" means newer than! Examples weren't clear in man page. Thx!!! [18:43] Ah! My startup hangs, unless I boot in recovery mode, and then I have to manually invoke login managers. What's going on!!??! [18:43] kwtm: checked again and appears to work .... [18:43] kwtm: the larger the manpage, the harder to understand :) Glad to be of some help.. [18:43] econdudeawesome: if you can try to get a boot chart [18:43] This may be a silly questio but can you use 64 bit ubuntu on a 32 bit cpu? [18:43] aeon-ltd how do I do that? [18:44] prime_heretic: No. [18:44] prime_heretic I don't think so--all kinds on issues [18:44] great thanks [18:44] prime_heretic, you can use virtual box if your cpu supports 64 bit virtualisation [18:44] econdudeawesome: by using boot chart :) (you may need to install but since it doesn't finish boot it mighth be hard) === vivid` is now known as vivid [18:44] It's just the Ubuntu site says on the download page : "64-bit – Recommended for most users" === ben is now known as n00bs [18:45] id hazard a guess most users aren't 64bit [18:45] aeon-ltd I can manually invoke a session (i.e. start via recovery, "continue boot process", log in, invoke sudo lxdm or sudo gdm, and log in [18:45] prime_heretic, I'd say the other way around, given how almost nobody needs 64bit. [18:45] prime_heretic: 64bit is only for 32bit processors [18:45] prime_heretic, I am using 64 bit lucid :p [18:45] Installed Ubunut on one of my computers and it create a swap thiat was 11gb. Is it a bug or what? [18:45] prime_heretic: I'd assume thats because most Computers nowdays have a 64bit processor [18:45] aeon-ltd startx just starts a GNOME-session, which isn't what I want to have happen (flying high with lubuntu installed on top of ubuntu ;-)) [18:46] Daekdroom: exactly, and the implication then is that 64bit works on 32bit cpus === artiosband is now known as m3wolf [18:46] prime_heretic: because not every users knows if he has a 32 or 64bit cpu, the savest choice is 32bit download (which will also work on 64bit cpu) [18:46] owd95: The installer should create a swap partition just a bit larger than physical memory, so that hibernation works properly. [18:46] Linux000: nah they dont [18:46] The download link seems to suggest that 64-bit is not recommended. [18:46] hi [18:46] !64 [18:46] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [18:47] prime_heretic it's like trying to play a blue-ray disc on a dvd player [18:47] oCean_: 32-bit will not work with a 64-bit CPU, I've spent about a week figuring out why ubuntu would fail to install, I was trying to put 32-bit on a 64-bit cpu [18:47] prime_heretic: what site are you using? At http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download it is not as you said! [18:47] How do I search remote folders with nautilus? Ctrl-F just searches my local files? [18:47] how do i get my webcam to work [18:47] oCean_: http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download [18:47] Linux000: I have it running on several 64bit cpu's [18:47] Linux000 32-bit OS works fine on 64-bit architechture, but ot he other way around [18:47] i386 should work on an amd64-compatible CPU [18:47] cntrl + H [18:48] Linux000, i have 32 bit ubuntu on a double core 64 bit laptop, but 64-bit just wouldn't work [18:48] I've never had that work... might be server edition messing with me [18:48] prime_heretic: you read it worng. it CLEARLY says 32 bit recommended for most users [18:48] !webcam | gummybear [18:48] gummybear: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [18:48] How do I launch a new x session in which I can use Wine to launch an application? Apparently you can gain a lot of performance by doing this [18:48] yes! I have 64 bit ubuntu on 64 bit cpu!!! :D :P [18:48] ok ty [18:48] dajhord: alright... But i have only 4gb ram and i have installed on many computers and Ubuntu have never create a swap bigger then 3gb... [18:49] prime_heretic: OH, you were on the *server* download, not desktop [18:49] I don't see why 64-bit isn't recommended anymore. [18:49] Is it a flash deal? [18:49] !64 | tensorpudding [18:49] tensorpudding: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [18:49] tensorpudding: no, i just explained [18:49] tensorpudding what are you talking about? [18:49] dajhorn: alright... But i have only 4gb ram and i have installed on many computers and Ubuntu have never create a swap bigger then 3gb... [18:49] oCean_: yus [18:50] tensorpudding: because lots of users don't know if the cpu is 32 or 64 bit, the 32 bit desktop download is saves option [18:50] econdudeawesome: check the download page, you will clearly see that it says tht 64-bit is not recommended for normal desktop usage [18:50] ubuntu-it-chat [18:50] hi [18:50] i have a little question [18:50] !ask | sandertje [18:50] tensorpudding that's weird. Must be new [18:50] sandertje: 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. :-) [18:50] oCean_: So it's basically a "we don't want to confuse people by asking them if their CPU is 64-bit"? [18:50] prime_heretic: of course is 64bit for server recommended, since most servers are 64bit, it's a different story for the desktops [18:50] I guess that is fair. [18:50] can anyone assist recovering data from an icy box raid 1 disk? [18:50] tensorpudding, see the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [18:50] owd95: On a computer with 4GB of memory, you don't really need swap space unless you intend to use hibernation (like a laptop). [18:50] sandertje, please type /join ubuntu-nl [18:50] tensorpudding: lots of users don't know. [18:50] sandertje, please type /join #ubuntu-nl [18:51] I can see folders on a remote system with nautilus just fine. Why can't I search for a filename? [18:51] oCean_: That's true. [18:51] what chmod on /tmp/ has standard Ubuntu? [18:51] monkey_dust: what. He's using English, right? [18:51] oCean_: I guess the people who actually want 64-bit will know and choose it, so it doesn't matter [18:51] bittin`: chmod 1777 /tmp [18:51] dajhorn... yes i know that but that i wonder was why Ubuntu create i so big swap... [18:51] tensorpudding: Exactly! :) [18:51] oCean_, his nickname is dutch [18:51] dajhorn: i tried that :p [18:52] dajhorn:... yes i know that but that i wonder was why Ubuntu create i so big swap... [18:52] monkey_dust: so? As long as he is talking English, it's not a problem at all. [18:52] bittin`: Also chown root:root /tmp [18:52] "not recommended" sounds like there is a problem with it though [18:52] dajhorn: thx :) [18:52] oCean_, it was an advice, nothing more [18:52] owd95: Dunno. You can resize the partitions if it bothers you. [18:52] bittin`: Welcome. [18:52] sandertje: feel free to ask here. Try to keep the description of your issue all in one single line [18:53] dajhorn: thx, i will try that [18:53] im new to this acl thing... but... i want to understand it... afaik, if you set ACL in a partition, it will work with the ACL list or just the legacy permissions if there's no Acl PRESENT [18:53] owd95: Welcome. [18:54] If you configure a partition to use ACLs, it won't make any immediate effect until you set them [18:54] hey all11 [18:54] !!! [18:54] hi [18:54] can anyone know how to setup c-media sound card [18:54] hey have a little problem with the dual boot install. the option of the side by side install for some reason isn't there (menu 4 ubuntu instal prosses) what can i do?? [18:55] to work fine? [18:55] rather, until you set the ACLs to something that doesn't correspond to the garden variety octal permissions === Ttech is now known as f3wr00lzp293 [18:55] /var/ is also broken what chmod should that have? [18:55] how do i know if the PHP i have installed was from an ubuntu package or compiled from PHP.NET? [18:55] iceiceice: What is there? [18:55] cablop: posix permissions always exist and always matter regardless of whether ACLs are enabled. Notice the legacy permissions when you list ACLs. === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [18:55] Legacy permissions are handled with the ACL through the mask field [18:55] bittin`: 755 owned by root.root === f3wr00lzp293 is now known as Ttech [18:56] k [18:56] where can download drivers for sound card? and does it matter what version is? btw cant find on motherboard page [18:56] Linux000: not where it's should be [18:56] When you use good-old chmod on file with ACLs enabled, it only changes the mask [18:56] Unclemantis: try: dpkg -S `which php` [18:56] thanks [18:56] dpkg: /usr/local/bin/php not found. [18:56] theoctagon: thank you now back to what i did before i broke it all [18:56] that means no right? [18:57] no linux big guru here? [18:57] If you have php in /usr/local, you didn't install it using apt. [18:57] iceiceice: you have windows installed, did it show up in the partition bar at the top? [18:57] bittin`: what do you mean by "all" ? [18:57] iceiceice: Sorry, I assume windows [18:57] Unclemantis: then chances are it's not from any .deb installed, because in that case it would have shown the packagename it was from [18:57] !ask | borbasjulia_ [18:57] borbasjulia_: 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. :-) [18:57] ok [18:57] thanks [18:57] theoctagon: nothing i failed at install a printer :p [18:57] preciate it [18:58] Unclemantis: sure thing, you're welcome [18:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/467119/ [18:58] i got more confused now, then... what's the mask field in ACL? i thought the mask field was something like no permissions... [18:58] if anyone feels like helping [18:58] borbasjulia_: does the sound card not work automatically? [18:58] nope === vincent is now known as Guest97096 [18:58] Is it USB, PCI, PCMCIA? [18:59] Dont know really it's integrated on motherboard [18:59] Oh. [18:59] tensorpudding: USB [18:59] Linux000: yes u r right to asume it's win7 str and yes it show's in the bar on top [18:59] borbasjulia: try typing 'alsamixer' in a console and see if you can view volume levels [18:59] doing well here, thanks again guys [19:00] iceiceice: What options show up in the menu? [19:00] borbasjulia: this will also tell you your sound card info if it can find it [19:00] bittin`: try using getfacl on the file that has ACLs set [19:01] the mask:: field is the part that corresponds to legacy permissions [19:01] it essentially limits the permissions available to everything else [19:01] I have a little brain teaser regarding scp, the non interactive shell does not read profile fact and umask [19:02] there is a java program copying files from a windows host via scp [19:02] but the set umask isn't applied [19:02] I tried to put it in .profile and .bashrc [19:02] the last way works with WinSCP [19:02] but not with the java framework [19:02] any idea anyone? [19:02] The umask of the shell on the system your copying to should be the one that is used [19:03] the file is created with -rw------ [19:03] Try getting a shell using ssh, and run umask [19:03] think this is the kernel default not the login uer one [19:03] with a ssh shell umask is pulled perfectly right [19:03] I'm pretty sure that the default umask in bash is 022 [19:04] tensorpudding: I'm well aware of that [19:04] Hi, I have a 40gb ATA Hard drive, and a 500gb SATA drive. How would you suggest that i set up my system to take best advantage of this under Ubuntu? [19:04] but nevertheless the file gets -rw------ [19:04] Hmm. [19:04] What kind of filesystem are you writing to? [19:04] if I touch a file with the same user the scp uses the chmod is 770 like wanted [19:04] VIA 8237 but still cant find drivers [19:05] Sometimes filesystems have restricted umasks, like NTFS [19:05] tensorpudding: ReiserFS [19:05] Linux000: 1 opt is format the entire disk and install ubuntu as stand alone 2 opt is manual partioning [19:05] tensorpudding: no sorry - ext3 in this case [19:05] Okay, that is odd then [19:05] dajhorn: do you know how the mask field of acl works? [19:05] Hello, does anyone have experience with ebox? [19:05] tensorpudding: you name it [19:05] I found out it has to do with the fact that scp uses a non interactive shell [19:06] You say you set umask in .bashrc? [19:06] i [19:06] cablop: Mostly, but it sounds like you need to read an introductory ACL tutorial. [19:06] tensorpudding: both ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc [19:06] Non-interactive shells should load ~/.bashrc, I believe. [19:06] Hi, I have a 40gb ATA Hard drive, and a 500gb SATA drive. How would you suggest that i set up my system to take best advantage of this under Ubuntu? [19:07] dajhorn: well, i was reading about it. but there were no mask field on the one i read... maybe you have a better link [19:07] tensorpudding: yepp - this "hack" works for WinSCP [19:07] but not for the java program [19:07] metalgeek: how much ram do you have? [19:07] Oh wait, nevermind. [19:07] That's for interactive non-login shells [19:07] metalgeek, its upto your personal choise. I could have installed ubuntu on whole 500gb and kept that 40gb for extrathigns [19:07] meh [19:07] 1.5gb [19:07] cablop: ACLs are not consistent between platforms. ACLS on Microsoft Windows, Solaris, Linux, etc are all different. You need a tutorial specifically for your platform. [19:08] linux [19:08] tensorpudding: this login/no-login interactive/non-interactive shell stuff is a mess :P [19:08] cablop: ACLs are often overkill. What are you trying to accomplish? Maybe there is an easier solution. [19:08] iceiceice: Is windows installed? [19:08] there's also POSIX ACLs and NFS4 ACLs, which are distinct [19:09] i just want to keep managing some files and folders the way i did in windows [19:09] abhijit, I get that i could choose, but is there a logical reason to do it a certain was? [19:09] I recommend against messing with ACLs on system partitions [19:09] ActionParsnip, 1.5gb [19:10] hi, all the symbols and texts in gnome are huge compared to windows. any idea how to reduce both the size and the margin between objects on screen? [19:10] metalgeek, no logical reason. its just its easy to maintain. [19:10] metalgeek: use the sata for 10Gb / and 3Gb swap, use the rest for /home andthe 30Gb for backup or mount it to a subfolder in /home [19:10] tensorpudding: a ugly solution could be to switch to sftp and write a wrapper skript around sftp server setting the umask to 007 and start the sftp-server [19:10] Linux000: yes even stably installed :) i am trying to install the lattest 10.04 ver of ubuntu for netbook with diskonkey installer [19:10] but then I would have to change the sshd config as well [19:10] cablop: Try the eiciel package. It might be easier for you than getacl/facl tools. [19:10] nicotine is crashing on me, i don't know how to fix it. there is no official amazonmp3 downloader for lucid and that makes me sad. [19:11] Hmm, sftp has a umask option [19:11] tensorpudding: did I miss that? is it in the man page? [19:11] Yeah, it's in the manpage. [19:12] Thanks for help now working:) [19:12] iceiceice: Hmm, ubuntu might have problems if the space left is less than 3GB or so, and it might not want you to try side by side, netbook edtition might not let you do that, but I've never used it [19:12] setting timer [19:12] tensorpudding: that'll be worth a try I think :) [19:12] ActionParsnip, You obviously know far more than I so please don't take offence when I ask, What reasoning brought you to the advice given? [19:12] It might only set the umask locally though [19:13] itunes bears the mark of the devil. [19:13] I never had these kind of issues with scp :\ [19:13] how is it namet the hability that nautilus got in ubuntu, that F3 opens a parallel navigation window? [19:13] tensorpudding: me not, too unless the source is non linux :P [19:13] cause scp preserves the rights of the source file [19:13] What is the source? [19:14] metalgeek, look for the size of /tmp. sometimes it needs large space and it dont have. so keep /tmp in larger one partition [19:14] A windows machine [19:14] hello [19:14] where the java program pulls the file and copies it to a linux box === emc_ is now known as emc [19:14] theoctagon: Are you using scp to keep two directories in sync, or is this just a one-off copy? [19:14] to feed some kind of automatic importer of a CMS [19:15] Linux000: i have a ton of free space (about 40 g) i've been able to instal the ver wubi but wubi don't suport some needed opt. [19:15] just a copy-one off [19:15] dajhorn: i have it installed and i was using it in other partitions... but i don't unerstand the mask field, i undertsnd all other parts, except that mask [19:15] Okay. [19:15] is there a nice note taking application kind of like a apple/windows notepad thing (non gdesklets) that'll help me keep track of my meds [19:15] If you had to do it very often, I'd recommend Unison [19:15] metalgeek: no worries, the sata interface is faster than the ata, if the ata was also sata then using the 30Gb for / then the other driver for swap and /home would make things faster, unfortunately if you do this your system will not be as fast as it can but 30Gb for / is a LOT so using the 30Gb for backup or other purposes is all I can think to do with it. Your system will only really need 3Gb swap (2xram) [19:15] ciao [19:15] its a videoconverter server that feeds converted vids into a content management system [19:15] avis, try leafpad [19:15] plain and simple one liner notes accessible by a drop down gnome [19:15] Unison is the only easy file synchronization tool that I used that worked well between Windows and Unix [19:15] thanks [19:16] tensorpudding: yepp unison rocks :) [19:16] iceiceice: Ahh, my only thought is to go manually, but that could wipe windows, so I wouldn't try that... Sorry I couldn't help [19:16] cablop: Do you understand how `umask` masking works? You should start there. I don't think that anybody here will give you a walkthrough on an advanced topic like this. [19:16] i think i have a fairly quick question. i have an hp tx2510us tablet and the touchscreen isnt calibrated correctly. the stylus is off a little bit, but not enough to matter. is there a download somewhere that i can run to calibrate it? [19:17] ActionParsnip, Your the best, that really made sense, so thats what ill do? Thanks for everything, off to reinstall, see you all in a while I hope :) LOL [19:17] cablop: The user file-creation mode mask (umask) is use to determine the file permission for newly created files. It can be used to control the default file permission for new files. It is a four-digit octal number . [19:17] Linux000: thanks anyway. [19:17] i can't use samba because my dad is evil and the idea of ssh frightens me, but i sure could use a backup drive on my local lan [19:17] from a stupid windows box [19:18] metalgeek: no worries dude, there are other ways, thats just how i'd fly [19:18] avis: ftp it? [19:18] apetrunk, see on their respective web site there is a hardware code to calibrate a printer. e.g. in my case of hp 3200 seriess i need to press a button under cover of printer 4 times and it automatically calibrate without need of any software [19:18] racethesunlive, i hate windows [19:18] avis: "ssh frightens me"? why is that [19:19] avis: what does windows have to do with ftp? [19:19] racethesunlive, because i'd need scp and that'd require ssh [19:19] avis, ssh means *secure* shell [19:19] and under windows, thats a slit throat [19:19] ive looked around. sadly theres nothing like that. the only calibration info they have is for me to download some software that windows can run [19:19] avis: ssh is very secure dude [19:19] avis: I missed what you wanna do - might rsync / unison be an option? [19:19] BIT dajhorn well, i think masks are like network masks, you apply a binary operation to see what the results are, but the mask in eiciel works this way, if i set the mask say 101 and the user has 111 permissions that made the effective permissions 101, not 111 as long it is not an older file [19:19] apelgate, give me your full printer name [19:20] avis: You can install rsync or rdiff on the Windows computer, and use it to back up to the Ubuntu server. As an alternative to sshd, you can use rsyncd. [19:20] avis: rsync+ssh rocks.... [19:20] apetrunk, , give me your full printer name [19:20] printer? this is my computer [19:20] danke [19:20] BIT, dajhorn i think the mask just operate as main permission allower negator regardless the setin per user or group [19:20] dajhorn, problem, backup would be to the windows box [19:20] apetrunk, your issue was you want to calibrate a printer? [19:20] any1? side by side install problem in the 10.04 ver for netbook. No side by side option in the install process [19:20] cablop: umask doesn't work that way. [19:20] dajhorn, and ssh installation on windows bugs me [19:20] cablop: just man umask [19:21] avis: Those programs have been ported to Microsoft Windows. I prefer Cygwin, but you can get native builds too. [19:21] abhijit, nope. never mentioned printer. its the touchscreen [19:21] iceiceice: then boot to livecd and resize the partition [19:21] avis: ssh the client? or ssh the server for windows? [19:21] oh my god [19:21] avis: for a client putty ftw! [19:21] on my tablet [19:22] I should go to sleep now. bye all sorry apetrunk miss read your question. bye :) [19:22] BIT but i'm asking for the mask field in aCL [19:22] i'd like to use the ssh alternative on the windows box with the windows box being the backup computer, and ubuntu as primary sender [19:22] haha its cool. thanks for trying [19:22] BIT not the umask one [19:22] cablop: ah ok sorry, missed that. [19:22] i think i have a fairly quick question. i have an hp tx2510us tablet and the touchscreen isnt calibrated correctly. the stylus is off a little bit, but not enough to matter. is there a download somewhere that i can run to calibrate it? [19:23] ActionParsnip, May i pm you please? [19:23] avis: Try BackuPC. It has native clients and servers for both Ubuntu and Windows. [19:23] hello [19:23] thank you dajhorn [19:23] ActionParsnip: i dont realy know what exectly i should do so i am worried that i may wipe out all [19:23] i have some question on openvpn [19:23] metalgeek: sure [19:23] hey, when ever i try to run the game asylum, it just gets me to the menu and when i try to play it, it closes [19:23] avis: Welcome. === jeffgreenca_ is now known as jeffgreenca [19:23] Hi, why does it say this in the ubuntu download page? "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" [19:23] why isn't it recommended for daily usage? [19:23] i m using openvpn on ubuntu [19:24] Ganzonet: 32bit is still a slightly easier ride than 64bit [19:24] Ganzonet: Because it offers small performance difference, but is harder for Canonical to support. [19:24] and on openvpn revoke option is not working [19:24] Ganzonet: because 64-Bit and Adobe flash is a mess [19:24] Ganzonet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [19:24] has any one used openvpn on ubuntu [19:24] oryxtec: yepp === Cain` is now known as Cain [19:24] plz can u guide me [19:24] so, although i have a 64bits processor, im better off with the 32 bit installation? [19:24] on revoking user license [19:25] Ganzonet: Yes. [19:25] theoctagon: [19:25] If you know what you are doing, the 64-bit will work fine. [19:25] hi. problem not solved, plz. black screen with white flashing stripes up to half of the screen preceded by a message "checking battery state... [OK]": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531543 [19:25] It is what I use. [19:25] oryxtec: revoking user "license" ? [19:25] wasnt there a problem with the ram when not using a 64 bit OS? [19:25] like not recognizing part of it [19:25] and such? [19:25] i think i have a fairly quick question. i have an hp tx2510us tablet and the touchscreen isnt calibrated correctly. the stylus is off a little bit, but not enough to matter. is there a download somewhere that i can run to calibrate it? [19:25] There was a restriction on the amount of RAM that a 32-bit OS could address [19:25] can anyone help me? there's a rectangle for window selection stuck on my screen from gtk-recordmydesktop! how do i get rid of it? i killed gtk-recordmydesktop, but the window selection rectangle remains stuck on the screen!! [19:26] i mean i want to remove crtificats for those user on openvpn [19:26] But it was fixed by PAE. [19:26] Ganzonet: If you have more than 3GB of RAM, then you should use the -pae kernel instead of the -generic kernel. [19:26] which i don't want them any more [19:26] <_jesse_> Ganzonet: 32 bit, in general, can only address 4gb without physical address extnesion [19:26] thehizz try restarting? [19:26] Ganzonet: i cant agree [19:26] *without restarting x or the cpu [19:26] why cants you restart? === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [19:26] cant* [19:26] Ganzonet: running 64bit fine [19:26] oryxtec: http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#revoke [19:26] dajhorn, i assume my kernels are forced pae anyway to ensure that on installation ? [19:26] Oh, linux is so good! [19:27] doesn't that help ` [19:27] ? [19:27] I love ubuntu [19:27] whats the major issue using 64bit ubuntu? [19:27] Probably flash. [19:27] I love YlmfOS [19:27] thehizz, why cant you restart? [19:27] <_jesse_> Ganzonet: there isn't one, I've been running it fine [19:27] avis: I don't remember whether the Ubuntu installer automatically installs the -pae kernel. [19:27] lnl, i use ylmf as virtual machine [19:27] Ganzonet: i have none [19:27] Ganzonet: I'm using ubuntu 64 bit cause I have 8GB ram and need to have 64bit VMs [19:27] Though flash works fine enough for me, in Ubuntu amd64. [19:27] ??? [19:27] i fear that my ext4 filesystem is fragile and i need ext4 file integrity protection. [19:28] Ganzonet: I've been running 64bit ubuntu for over 1 year and I've had no issues. [19:28] Ganzonet: and the flash wrapper npviewer eats a lot of cpu [19:28] avis: backups [19:28] Hi all! Guys, I have a problem: all browsers work much slower (min. 2 times) in Ubuntu 10.04 than in Windows. The pages are loaded fast, but it looks like the browser cannot resolve DNS for 5-30 sec. before loading. IP v6 is disabled. How to fix it? [19:28] Hi My sound when out for no reason, how do i fix this? [19:28] ok, thanks everyone, ill try the 64bit version which i have already download, if i got any issue ill try the other one === ganja_ is now known as ganja [19:28] !ipv6 | CbIP [19:28] CbIP: 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 [19:28] Ganzonet: enjoy [19:28] thanks [19:28] It seems to me that the "not recommended" disclaimer is to prevent people with 32-bit processors from downloading it and having issues. [19:28] Ganzonet: have fun! [19:29] thanks :_) [19:29] thx, I'll read [19:29] i think i have a fairly quick question. i have an hp tx2510us tablet and the touchscreen isnt calibrated correctly. the stylus is off a little bit, but not enough to matter. is there a download somewhere that i can run to calibrate it? [19:29] apelgate: can't restart because have other things that need to remain running === hsa2|gone is now known as hsa2 [19:30] ahh [19:30] 32-bit will probably become deprecated eventually [19:31] tensorpudding: yes when adobe releases flash for 64 bit ;) or html5 is spread widely :P [19:31] How to reply somebody? [19:31] tensorpudding: when it gets stupendous support then yes :) [19:31] !who | lnl [19:31] lnl: 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 :) [19:31] Flash works fine for 64bit. [19:31] anyone know where nlockmgr config for NFS is located on ubuntu 9.04? need to set a static port... all the tuts say add it modconfig, but modprobe lockd turns up nothing for me [19:32] tensorpudding: it works but I wouldn't sign the "fine" [19:32] And HTML5
