=== BlT is now known as workman [00:01] violinappren: its an old usb pen of 9.10 karmic i found in a drawer. unfortunately it doesn't want to install either (it says it may be corrupted, which wouldnt suprise me, its an old usb pen. dvd writer doesn't have a make or model on it, was a cheap one i bought from ebay. let me see if i can find the box... === workman is now known as BlT [00:01] NFischer: does it show ok in print previews? and whats the make and model of your printer ? [00:02] violinappren, could not see realted lines but I'll try scanning better [00:02] violinappren, thank you [00:02] My system was updated yesterday. But there's a notification on my system tray and if I click it, it fires up the update manager and it says my system was updated 32 days ago... Is there something wrong with my system? [00:02] SlickRed: what about the writer ? [00:02] violinappren, no its just in the printed version... its an Canon PIXMA MP560, and i installed the 3.2 Drivers from canon [00:03] violinappren: I was referring to the writer. No make/model on the drive itself...or on the box for that matter! [00:03] if im using the live cd i need to keep the disk in, correct? need to burn a cd. [00:03] jlogsdon: Yes, you need the disc in [00:03] SlickRed: how is it connected? usb? [00:03] figured. thanks ibnarrashid [00:03] Violinappren: yes [00:04] SlickRed: paste : lsusb [00:04] hello [00:04] whats the command to unmount something i mounted with sshfs [00:04] I compiled ffmeg from source code [00:04] When I put a DVD with data on it, ubuntu does seem to recognise it (a windows install I had lying around) [00:04] how comes ffmpeg appears like I dont have it? (in synaptic it says is not installed) [00:05] Chiggins: fusermount -u dirname [00:05] ha, i did that before and it didnt work... weird.. alright, how can i get a script to run when i login? [00:05] SlickRed: the make/model may show in lsusb [00:06] how do I tell synaptic that I have ffmpeg, so I can install winff whitout having to install ffmpeg again? (winff needs ffmpeg but as synaptic does not recognize the one I compiled, he wants to install ffmpeg, but I dont want to install it again) [00:06] lobito: if you compile stuff from source, the package manager won't know about it, unless you install it with checkinstall [00:06] help [00:06] lobito: if synaptic says it's not installed, it's highly likely that it isn't. [00:06] Chiggins: type 'mount' to see what's mounted [00:06] it is installed, I use it very often [00:06] how do I do that checkinstall? [00:06] Chiggins: .system > preferences > start up applications [00:06] !checkinstall | lobito [00:06] lobito: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [00:07] lobito: if you compiled ffmpeg from source, then you'll most likely need to point winff to the source tree that you used. [00:07] ok, thankies x3 ^^ [00:07] violinappren... so if i put an sshfs mount command in there, it will automaticall run? [00:07] lobito: then compile winff. unless you are using winff from the ubuntu software center? [00:07] Chiggins: you could add the command to your ~/.bashrc [00:08] Eye of GNOME 2.22.3 takes around 30 seconds to load and display one picture, and in some cases will load and then exit immediately [00:08] violinappren.. i think i'll do that.. one more question, is there a way that i can set my password in the sshfs command, so it doesnt ask me for a password [00:08] lobito: any reason why you didn't install ffmpeg from the ubuntu software center? [00:08] violinappren: http://paste.ubuntu.com/467244/ [00:08] BIT thats not trus if an app is compiled it will not show up in synaptic [00:09] Chiggins: set up ssh to auth using private key [00:09] violinappren - is there a guide for that? [00:10] hiexpo: yes I understand that. but then if you install an app from the ubuntu software center and that app is looking for it's backend in 1 location and he installed in another, then the headache really starts if you can't change the frontend to a new location. Or am I missing something with winff? [00:10] Chiggins: ask the planet's brain: google [00:10] so sudo is full of cracks [00:10] DataWhore: sudo is a huge security gap [00:10] BlT: normally one can change the backends the front ends are using via their configs.. I know winff has the setting [00:11] Dr_Willis: nice... then he should be good to go. =) [00:11] BlT: i saw some script the other day that installed/compiled the latest ffmpeg from souce so it had all the features.. i lost the url to it however. :() [00:12] Chiggins: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152 [00:12] ubottu: tell violinappren about google [00:12] violinappren, please see my private message [00:12] Dr_Willis: yeah, we have a similar script here at my office for some of the H.264 stuff that we needed here. =) [00:12] BlT, i have many apps i compiled on this bos and they will never show up in synaptic nor repos [00:12] Chiggins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [00:12] so i need to add java to the path of of user www-data.. how would I do that? [00:12] Dr_Willis: would you mind giving a screenshot of your desktop with terminator? [00:12] ^box [00:12] omfg [00:12] BlT: i recall there being some issues with ffmpeg, and h264 or somthing doing with how the library files are named. [00:12] . [00:13] bastid_raZor: its just a terminator window maxamized... whats to show... [00:13] Dr_Willis: gotcha.. [00:13] Dr willis http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/script-to-automatically-download-and.html [00:13] Dr_Willis: yeah, that was 1 thing. not sure how the engineers here fixed it. =) all I know is they are using it... alot. [00:13] Kahlua1: is the date somehow set to august? or could you have had the date set to june when you ran the updates? [00:13] Oer: that looks like it. :) [00:14] so whens the update [00:14] DataWhore: watch your [very offensive] language [00:14] hiexpo: yeah, me to. for a new user or somewhat new user, I guess assuming it will show up is kinda of a "huh" moment. [00:14] thune3: the date is correct [00:14] Eye of GNOME 2.22.3 takes around 30 seconds to load and display one picture, and in some cases will load and then exit immediately [00:15] foul_owl: there are plenty of other image viewers [00:15] foul_owl: have you run eog from terminal to see why it crashes? [00:15] i have not [00:15] omfg whens the cure [00:15] DataWhore: Please mind your language here. [00:15] but it still take approx 30 seconds to load and display one picture [00:15] violinappren: There is nothing wrong with sudo. [00:15] this is in a folder of 3,000 pictures, if that matters [00:15] but i am trying to load and display just one picture [00:15] foul_owl: try it in a folder of 2 pictueres.. see if its faster.. [00:16] hiexpo, you may want to look at checkinstall if you compile a lot of packages from source but wish to keep a record in synaptic or whichever fronted you like [00:16] thats how you prove that matters or not. :) [00:16] how can i copy a folder between machines while perserving the permissions? [00:16] seems way faster in a folder with less pictures [00:16] glick: linuix to linux - use scp. [00:16] glick: scp -rp [00:17] so how do i fix that? [00:17] alright, i made a key, how do i get it to work with my sshfs [00:17] so has it been fixed??? [00:17] Dr_Willis, can i tar it into a tar ball that preserves the perms? [00:17] glick: scp -rp "file/s" to copy" user@host:/path/ [00:17] foul_owl: check its settings.. perhaps it some sort of cacheing its doing. [00:17] glick: thats another way to do it.. but scp can also do it.. [00:17] Pici: When a webpage exploits a 0-day vulnerability in a browser and runs a payload to continuously try running privileged code (exploiting sudo's timeout,) there will be plenty of wrong things. [00:18] violinappren: you shouldn't be running a browser as root. [00:18] Chiggins: if you did not set a passphrase then ssh/sshfs should connect without issue. [00:18] Pici: That's the point, a browser NOT running as root, will be able to run privileged code piggybacking sudo's timeout. [00:18] BlT, some of us here are natives to linux and are use to compiling stuff > so when compilingone should know where it's gonna go before doing so > checkinstall is a lazy way when not knowing how to compile and watching the terminal to see whats happening /// > the terminal is ones best friend here in linux [00:19] Dr_Willis: I checked the prefs, it MUST be doing some sort of caching, loading all the images in the same folder into memory or something, but the prefs are extremely minimal [00:19] hiexpo: yeah, wasn't me who suggested checkinstall. =) [00:19] there is no option to disable it [00:19] Chiggins: did you read the guy i linked you to? [00:19] violinappren: yeah, but i think i did it wrong [00:19] perhaps contact gnome devs? [00:20] violinappren: Was this patched? Do you have a CVE link? [00:21] also, i don't have the latest version, but I am using apt to install everything, and i don't want to mess things up by installing something manually [00:21] hiexpo: I personally don't care if a gui package manager knows what software I have installed or not =) [00:22] Pici: the browser exploit? i'm not speaking of a particular one, any exploit capable of code execution will be able to do so (these are being sold in blackhat markets for popular browsers) [00:22] BlT, well gui's are nice but no need for a manager i am the manager :) [00:22] hiexpo: =) yeah [00:22] hiexpo: so when you break things.. you can fire yourself! [00:22] violinappren: Then please don't spread FUD about sudo to users hre. [00:22] thanks for your help Dr_Willis, I think i'm going to ask on the gnome irc [00:22] Dr_Willis: exactly. [00:23] Dr_Willis, yep back to the ole drawing board [00:23] foul_owl: i dont even recall what image viewer i use by default [00:23] Dr_Willis: diy package management ftw [00:23] BlT: i would say its more 'ftf' (for the fail) [00:24] Pici: a warning of bad architectural decision is not FUD, disabling sudo's timeout would close that gap [00:24] Dr_Willis: naw. I've not had many issues over that last 15 years compiling my own software. Though I do admit at times I do get lazy if I know that apt can do it faster. [00:24] hi everyone [00:24] violinappren: I think we should just be mindful of the users here that may not understand that. [00:24] !hi | sammy [00:24] sammy: 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!

[00:25] anybody hear me? [00:25] sammy: yeah [00:25] sammy: if we say no..... :) [00:25] It's the reason I moved off slackware years ago [00:25] Dulak: I do, I use puppet to install my software for my 2500 servers =) [00:25] BlT: this is not a 'bug' this is a 'feature'! [00:25] you just ignoring me [00:26] violinappren: ok, sorry, then maybe submit a feature request changes?

[00:26] Dulak: all the systems are the same. [00:26] hey guys, ubuntu uses PaX, right? [00:26] BlT, Dr_Willis i order to learn one must break things > experiment if u don't your not learning /// > i have broke this many times and sure i will again but that is partof the learning curve [00:27] BlT: it's considered a 'trade of' between usability and security [00:27] ^in [00:27] oh [00:27] I put a envidia card in mi pc just now,it wasnt during installation,,what i need to do now [00:27] BlT: then that is just another form of package management [00:27] violinappren: sorry man (my colleague came to me im afk a few mins...didnt mean to ignore you if you were helping) [00:27] only two, no three people in community [00:27] ?! [00:27] violinappren: hmm. then I hope I don't run into that little "feature" crashing my system or worse. [00:27] and is there an ubuntu developers channel somewhere? [00:27] i notes that updates download a nvidia common [00:28] and what other people doing here?

[00:28] sammy, giggling at all the command-line advice [00:28] Dulak: still, the software being deployed is compiled by source for my hardware, not generic all for one hardware. So it's all good. still fun to know what's "really" going on under the hood when installing software. like hiexpo said, it's how you learn. === linux_ is now known as Jet^Skier [00:29] linux_, your probably closer to the truth than you think [00:29] b33r: pastebin : lshw -C display [00:30] «¼¼» §äLäM £vë®ÿÖñë «¼¼» [00:30] i have one question how to restore grub loader after upgraiding from 9.10 to 10.04 [00:30] ???

[00:31] BlT: I agree, I started on slack and learned tons but it doesn't scale well, so now I use packages, or create packages, and use them. I rather like all the error checking and such that say apt does that I didn't have to write myself from scratch. Also dependencies are really nice. [00:32] * Jet^Skier likes Dulak's attitude [00:32] Dulak: oh for sure man. I started with redhat 4.2 (long time ago). and before that SunOS. [00:32] well Iv just capture a light [00:32] DataWhore: ? [00:32] benh: if not, just install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [00:32] BlT: I will say it sounds like you like the bragging rights of your way rather than the utility of it, but hey, we all got our own thing [00:32] Is anyone in here familiar with gnoMint ? [00:33] Hi all, Anyone still here from an earlier conversation with me? [00:33] i have normal working ubuntu 9.10 installed from original cd and after updating to 10.04 after rebooting grub makes some errors [00:33] Dulak: naw...

[00:36] is it a bad idea to mix installing deb packages with doing a make install for an updated version of that package?

Is there a fix for that? [00:36] (after uninstalling old package) [00:36] SlickRed: yes [00:36] do i need any driver in linuf for that [00:36] or linux taje care of it [00:36] ok.. so i haven't actually connected my server to a monitor for some time. I got locked out of ssh and connected it to my tv. Now when i startx i get this largely pixilated screen with a mouse cursor. I can move the mouse and that's about it (can't change tty's). I have an nvidia 8500GT using a newly installed 185. Any ideas how to get gnome going? [00:36] lobito, checkinstall -D ... [00:36] lobito: yes, that is it. sudo checkinstall :and do not interrupt it. you will bork things [00:36] SlickRed: you should boot lucid from a usb stick [00:37] violinappren: will do man. thanks very much for your time...i'll give that a try now [00:37] :) [00:37] :-) [00:37] oki [00:37] Would someone mind helping a nub with bootloader [00:37] what will exactly do [00:37] ok what's wrong with my java install, how do I do it the right way? seems whatever is on here can't run POGO on firefox or chrome, and can't play mekwarNET [00:37] this: hash x264 ffmpeg ffplay [00:37] ? o.o [00:37] lobito: did you read the link ubottu gave you? it explains it well there.

When I stick my Ubuntu USB flash drive into the computer and boot from it, it tries to mount the hard disk when booting and hence never boots, since there are repeated disk read errors from the drive. Is there any way to disable this on-boot interaction with the hard disk? [00:39] ddilinger: yea some of the advice is still relevant tho. Let me poke around somemore. [00:39] ChogyDan1: ah good point, forgot about the backports [00:39] just after updating with update manager [00:39] ChogyDan1: other option is to go back to my old habit of just building myself an upstream kernel [00:39] ChogyDan1: sucks for an LTS tho, it's really badly busted [00:40] ddilinger: here is one from my bookmarks =). http://nixcraft.com/centos-rhel-fedora/13204-bandwidth-limit-iptables.html [00:40] benh: I would hope that backports would keep you uptodate [00:40] I am running ubuntu 10.04, When i boot up i get a white box with lots of options, A i never used to so why? B It has a lot of doubles of the same option, can i stop it from even displaying? and can i edit the information that it dose display? [00:40] Is this a boot loader? [00:40] R3cur51v3: odd. i never noticed it automounting my hd's untill i accessed them. it may be trying to use the swap partition? i recall some noswap option ages ago [00:41] sammy: pastebin: sudo fdisk -l [00:41] doesn't help [00:41] Dr_Willis, there is no swap partition; it's a Windows drive. I want the computer to completely ignore the hard disk on boot. [00:41] sammy: Follow this guide to re-install grub from a LiveCD: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [00:41] Dr_Willis, it could possibly be checking for the existence of a swap partition as you say. [00:41] R3cur51v3: that is weird. It definatly dosent mount my windows partitions till i access them via the nautilus here.

Plug them into a usb case. :) [00:43] thank to Jordan_U [00:43] sammy: The problem you're having is that the grub-pc package was configured incorrectly, so grub didn't get re-installed properly when you upgraded to the new version. [00:43] Dr_Willis, umm that is not an option. [00:43] how to configure it correctly while upgraiding? [00:44] hiexpo: since the article you linked was written in 2003 and this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall clearly shows 'make install' is not used but replaced with checkinstall [00:45] sammy, what did you do upgrade from one distro to another ? [00:45] sammy: Once you're booted again you need to make sure this doesn't happen again by running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". It will ask you some questions, one will be what devices to install grub to. Be sure to select your boot drive and *no* partitions. Keep the other settings at their default. Some will be blank, that's normal. [00:45] bastid_raZor, yes if it was written for check install [00:46] i have my main 10gb hdd, may I disable others? [00:46] or i must disable them? [00:47] hiexpo: checkinstall, if called without arguments, runs "make install" and keeps track of the progress. You *never* need to call "make install" explicitly. [00:48] well i guess now is as good of time as any to pull out my server and reinstall :( stupid nvidia [00:48] sammy: You can choose to install to all of your drives if you're not sure which is first in the BIOS boot order, just make sure that no partitions are selected (like sda1). [00:48] schlaftier, i am gonna try it next app [00:48] hiexpo: i use it for my mplayer svn. it works well. [00:49] how do i kill a user session?? [00:49] hiexpo: It's definitely worth it. At least, clean uninstall is much easier [00:49] i;m sure that my main hdd main on ide line, but in boot menu it's second device because i have several sata media hrad drives [00:50] i can install other bootloader ? like chameleon? and howe to do this/ [00:50] ???? [00:50] How do I stop Ubuntu from attempting to recognize a corrupted hard drive on boot and therefore failing to boot? [00:50] R3cur51v3: why are you using a corrupted drive? [00:51] Quick question: How to kill xserver? [00:51] hello again... sorry for being such a pest, but Im new to ubuntu, this is not like windows like to install something just next next, acept, this is LOTSA fun ^^ loving linux, hehehe, anyways, everything went fine with compiling and installing ffmpeg, but my q is: the generated deb, can I install it on another ubuntu-pc and it will have the changes I did? (aac enabled) [00:51] i am gonna see i can understand the clean uninstall to remove all dependencies not needed any longer [00:51] Schalla: usually, this was Ctrl+Alt+backspace, but that was disabled ... [00:51] It seems that F-Spot messes up compiz somehow, anyone experienced this? [00:52] try stopx [00:52] dev-co [00:52] Hm... Well, I opened compiz in terminal but was running metacity, now my desktop is kinda destroyed... So I wanted just to restart it. [00:52] is there an easy way to check whether i'm using x32 or x64? [00:52] uname -m [00:52] what do I do after I install phpmyadmin? going to localhost/phpmyadmin gives 404 error? [00:52] Schalla: well, if you're daring, you can just kill gdm from one of the tty's [00:52] randy_, I'm trying to recover files off the hard disk on a laptop that was dropped while the disk was spinning… [00:53] uname -a [00:53] pkill gdm and after this startx? [00:53] randy_, I'm booting from a USB disk. [00:53] err yeah uname -m [00:53] well, uname -m would do it too :) [00:53] er [00:53] * David-T sighs [00:53] xavieran, fspot has isues with changing theme it will not work if it has any alterations > custom [00:53] R3cur51v3: well, you could leave the drive unplugged *until its booted* then plug it back in, then use something like photorec to get your stuff off [00:53] x86_64 [00:53] Craig`: that's a 64-bit kernel [00:54] * David-T decides he's too drunk for ubuntu support and goes to bed [00:54] hey, i installed lua5.1 but header files are not in my /usr/include [00:54] how do i get them there [00:54] hiexpo, It's not big deal though, just kind of weird. [00:54] I'll try to look into it [00:54] xavieran, ya took me awhile to figure it out [00:54] randy_, why isn't there a software solution? I don't have the tools to open the computer? [00:55] I thought this laptop was only x32, but i'm using x64? hmm cool [00:55] l [00:55] Schalla: if you want to restart Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [00:55] perhaps it is x64 [00:55] what should I set my JAVA_PATH to? http://pastebin.com/FVPCbZHp [00:55] R3cur51v3: ah, i get it, you *can't* unplug the drive... [00:55] @ibnarrashid: Seems to be disabled. [00:55] randy_, yes [00:56] Schalla: then Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to tty1 and log in then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [00:56] randy_, it's inside a notebook and I don't have a screwdriver where I'm at. [00:56] R3cur51v3: if it were me, i can't remember exactly how i do this, but, using Ctrl+Alt+F1 or something like that to switch to a vty instead of the pretty ubuntu boot screen [00:56] For the love of God and all mankind, please help me! [00:56] Craig no its not 64it is 32 it has64 bit video card [00:56] Schalla: if you wan to start it again sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [00:57] Sorry, it should be JAVA_HOME [00:57] I need internet [00:57] Someone told me to use MemTest [00:57] osmodivs, why :0 [00:57] R3cur51v3: you can try to Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Z past the disk detection part; its hard to tell where exactly this is happening, though, since i'ev never needed to do it before [00:57] to see if i had some physical errors on my PC [00:57] is that whats MemTest for? [00:57] R3cur51v3: or, you could boot in single user mode since you don't technically need Xwindows anyway === Bam_Bam is now known as Guest16546 [00:58] better to run a 32 bit os on 64 bit sys [00:58] ibnarrashid: thanks for pointing that out :) [00:58] randy_: no problem [00:58] can anybody please tell me how to install lua headers? [00:58] R3cur51v3: regardless of how you boot, you still need to skip drive detection, and i'm not sure how to stop it from doing that, aside from watching it boot in the vty and trying to skip that step using kill commands [00:59] I have Ubuntu 10.04, I used a LiveCD to test my conection, and yes, I have internet. But when i use a 10.04 LiveCD, I dont [00:59] Whats up with that? [00:59] osmodivs, as the name suggest, Memtest is to test your RAM. [00:59] AW MAN!! [00:59] randy_, pressing ctrl+c and ctrl+z don't do anything. I'll try the single user boot thing. [00:59] then i guess i'll have to cancel it [00:59] chemicalvamp, http://lua-users.org/wiki/BuildingLua [01:00] chemicalvamp: sudo apt-get build-dep lua5.1 [01:00] Eeks help, all my icons turned into question marks WTF? [01:00] perfect lemme try it [01:00] osmodivs, if you don't have Internet on livecd, check if it recognizes your network card or check your IP configuration. [01:00] oops [01:00] Q: What packages do i need to play dvds? [01:01] osmodivs: yeah, it can get pretty hairy at this point. its possible that several things could be happening. what is most likely, though, is that there is an issue with drivers and your network card, whatever that may be [01:01] !dvd | Lizzard88 [01:01] Lizzard88: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:02] osmodivs: in the even that you can successfully boot into a LiveCD, the most reliable method of determining network connectivity if through the command line, using the ipconfig command [01:02] tell me more === NightDragon is now known as CSI_Horatio [01:02] osmodivs: the ifconfig command is much like the ipconfig command from windows, but much much more powerful [01:03] LET ME TRY it === CSI_Horatio is now known as NightDragon [01:03] osmodivs: in order to determine, quickly, wether or not your network card was detected properly, you should check what is listed from simply running 'ipconfig' in the terminal [01:03] osmodivs: if you are using a Ethernet connection, there should be at least one ethernet port listed, starting with ' [01:04] osmodivs: eth0, and eth1 for the second ethernet port, etc... [01:04] osmodivs: wireless cards, generally more tricky to work with, should have an interface name of something like wlan0 and such [01:04] Ok randy_ let me restart [01:05] iwconfig [01:05] command not found [01:06] no wireless extensions [01:06] osmodivs: are you trying to use wireless? [01:06] no [01:06] I have a cable [01:06] osmodivs: ifconfig not iwconfig [01:07] osmodivs: ifconfig is for all network interfaces (if = interface) iwconfig is just for wireless interfaces (iw = interface, wireless) [01:08] sorry misunderstood [01:08] I -=think=- I've found a bug... does anyone have a moment to install gnoMint and see if they experience the same thing?

Someone who uses that package and follows the bug reports should try and reproduce the bug to confirm its' status after you have filed it. [01:14] and have a black screen [01:15] or lock the boot [01:15] i used the flags -- xforcevesa in the live cd [01:15] after I edit grub.cfg, the entries should just show up when I reboot without running anything, right? [01:15] Howdy [01:15] How can I see the status on my disks on a 3ware raid controller? Iv tried with "smartctl -a -d 3ware,2 /dev/sda1" but it says no device is found etc... [01:15] krloss, di you upgrade via INTERNET or via new cd install [01:15] I installed 64bit ubunters [01:16] hiexpo, with 2 options [01:16] anyone here? [01:16] mhh where are the days that it was easy to install adobe apps under ubuntu [01:16] the grapic card is ati xpress 200m [01:16] And after i updated everything there seem to be some permission issues [01:17] Having a bit of a problem with OpenSSH not unlocking my keys when I connect. I use putty to connect to my karmic box, then try to ssh -A and I get prompted to unlock my key every time. How do I tell it to unlock it either automatically or once at the beginning of the login session? [01:17] i can only boot into failsafe X mode and Xorg fails to identify the hardware correctly when i boot from the recovery menu. is this likely a dead video card? [01:17] I cant access sound, i cant use the "Shutdown" or "restart" functions [01:17] What the hell happen? [01:17] I am following a guide to install lamp + phpmyadmin on lucid server, but /phpmyadmin gives a 404 and Ive reinstalled the entire OS twice now same thing [01:17] i wanted to build own website do you know what program software is the best to use?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel.

[01:18] i have a nvidia card that is not listen on the drivers [01:18] is there a room for talking about theme engines [01:18] is kind of old [01:18] can i make it work [01:18] how ? [01:19] outer_space: Did you do everything included on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin? [01:19] only 3 options in sypnatic to install [01:19] a bunch of g force [01:19] where is my home folder (the whole path)? [01:19] and some quatro showthing like it [01:19] my is VANTA LT [01:20] yes Ive done the ubuntu community phpmyadmin guide, followed exactly, and 404 [01:20] misterXXX: Search for that in the Software Center. [01:20] is there something different about cloud servers that break phpmyadmin? [01:20] alpha_: readlink -f ~ [01:20] Ive reinstalled the server twice and tried to install phpmyadmin [01:20] Where can i talk about theme engines? [01:20] alpha_: /home/username [01:21] hey [01:21] is phpmyadmin broken for lucid? [01:22] outer_space: try: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf then restart apache2 [01:22] where can i get support for envidia [01:22] outer_space: Nope, my phpmyadmin works fine on lucid. I even wrote up what I did: http://blog.sllabs.com/2010/06/fun-with-nginx-upstart-and-lucid.html [01:23] no such file as /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf [01:23] outer_space: What do you have in that directory/ [01:24] hola [01:25] oh typo [01:25] Dr_Willis, Hi, Would you know anything about ubuntu's theme engines, its all gotten abit confusing, Some themes that i download work fine, others complain about engines and some seem to have replaced all my icons with question marks, Would really appreciate any time spent on kicking me into touvh [01:25] *touch [01:25] now it works thanks [01:25] some need gtk etc [01:26] HUnn [01:26] metalgeek: to be honest with you - i just learned how stuff works over the years. and theres a lot of broken/bad theme parts out there on the different web sites. [01:26] metalgeek: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Ubuntu+gtk+theme+engine [01:26] metalgeek: and with the changes to gnome comming in the future.. i wonder if worrying about themes. is that worthwhile. :) [01:27] how can I get the ubuntu installer to start without using the framebuffer? fb=false and debian-installer/framebuffer=false do not work [01:27] metalgeek: i tend to use the gnome-art tool to install a few themes i like. and theres some ppas and themes in the repos i also use. [01:27] !google > Kamilion [01:27] Kamilion, please see my private message [01:27] Kevin`: try 'nofb' ? [01:27] Dr_Willis: nope, it still doed it [01:27] does [01:27] Kevin`: i never have figured out a way.. the live cd dosent workv wery well on my nvidia systems. [01:28] Kevin`: once i installed. i removed plymouth. :) [01:28] Kevin`: and blacklisted the framebuffer modules. [01:28] That's nice, ubottu, I provided the querystring, not a blind RTFM. [01:28] Thanks guys, As always Dr_Willis your the best. [01:28] hmm that's an idea, I could remove the framebuffer modules from the installer [01:28] but I shouldn't have to do that [01:28] Alguem que fale portugues??? [01:28] Kevin`: Have you tried "nomodeset"? [01:28] and it will be annoying [01:28] * metalgeek cuffs himself round the head for worrying about themes [01:28] !pt | Kaah [01:28] Kaah: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [01:28] Kamilion: This is a support channel, we provide support, not links to google. [01:28] Jordan_U: yes [01:29] some may want to consider the mini install cd... I find it much easier to install with [01:29] Kevin`: im not sure how doable it is.. the issue from what i gather is the nvidia cards and the noeavu drivers dont play nicely all the time. [01:29] Oh, so links to google are verboten then? I'll keep that in mind. [01:29] Dr_Willis: the framebuffer works fine, it's just super slow [01:29] Kevin`: and theres teh default of using the framebuffer module fb16 module it seems [01:30] Kevin`: the consoles dont work here at all on the live cd's :) they just sort of mirror the GDM screen. so the system seems 'locked up' [01:30] I resurrected an old program, stripped it from another package and created a PPA and now I want to see what steps do I need to do to include this package into the official repertories - who to contact? [01:31] Kevin`: Have you tried setting GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text in /etc/default/grub? [01:31] Hello [01:31] !packaging | alpharesearch [01:31] alpharesearch: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [01:31] My wireless internet keeps cutting out in Lucid. [01:32] Jordan_U: # kvm -m 2048 -drive if=virtio,file=/dev/testxen/root_u32 -kernel /mnt/mnt1/installer/u104-32-nopae/linux -initrd /mnt/mnt1/installer/u10.04-32-nopae/initrd.gz -append "debian-installer/framebuffer=false fb=false vga=normal nomodeset nofb" [01:32] alpharesearch: Information about how packages get added is on the second or third link, if I remember correctly. [01:32] thanks ubottu [01:32] Is this a known bug, or am I missing something essential? [01:33] !wireless | LorgonJortle [01:33] LorgonJortle: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:33] Thanks, io. I'll see if I can find something. [01:33] I need some help getting my web browsers working right [01:33] Kevin`: 1: I think it would be vga=text, and 2: despite what it seems vga= is not actually a kernel paremeter but a bootloader parameter, I don't know if kvm -kernel understands vga= or not. [01:34] something is not right with my flash or my java or maybe both [01:34] LorgonJortle: Check the relevant page for your wireless card and see if there are any notes associated with it, if not provide the output of "lspci -v | less" in here, someone may well be experiencing the same issue. [01:34] LorgonJortle: Is it a wireless card or a USB device? [01:34] USB device. [01:34] Jordan_U: the installer starts in vga mode. always I think. there's some init script or module loaded that switches it to vb mode [01:34] fb mode* [01:34] LorgonJortle: "lsusb" not "lspci -v | less", for USB devices. [01:35] is anyone familiar with the conduit toolbar you can make yourself? [01:35] io, yeah it shows up in there. I need to check the docs. [01:36] Kevin`: The very first mode is set by the bootloader, not the kernel. While the kernel may change modes after being loaded your best bet is probably to try to configure the bootloader to hand off to the kernel in vga text mode. [01:36] my issue is that the media player in it will not appear in ubuntu but its there in windoz [01:36] Jordan_U: the system is being started in text mode. something in the installer changes it later [01:37] Do you guys know any software that can recover data from a hard drive that was dropped and is physically damaged? [01:37] Kevin`: How have you determined that? [01:37] R3cur51v3: gddrescue [01:37] Jordan_U: it says it's doing it, and the result is pretty obvious since it changes resolution and such === Omni|AFK is now known as Omnifarious [01:38] Hi Guys, I just did a dual boot with ubuntu. When i go to boot into ubuntu I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown wn-block(0,0)" any ideas why this is happenign? [01:38] When you click on a column header/title in Gnome, e.g. in file manager / nautilus, or when looking at CPU% in System Monitor, well why are the Ascending and Descending indicators back to front? [01:39] Kevin`: What is the exact message it prints? (so that you can grep for it in the installer and initramfs scripts) [01:39] i.e. they are wrong [01:39] Sorry guys, but grub is named in Ubuntu 10.04 grub-common and grub-pc? [01:39] is there a way to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit ? [01:39] Jordan_U: I think the message is from the kernel. says Console: switching to color framebuffer xx:xx or whatever [01:39] R3cur51v3: www.cgsecurity.org/wiki there is information about testdisk and photorec; they are used for data recovery and tend to be very good [01:39] i installed 8gb mem in my laptop and i will now need a 64bit os to utilize it [01:40] my bios sees 8gb === JustMe is now known as Guest71651 [01:40] R3cur51v3: I recommend that you do *NOT* use testdisk or photorec on the drive itself, use gddrescue to create an image first. [01:41] R3cur51v3: gddrescue will get as much data as possible while preventing as much further damage as possible, I would use it before doing anything else with the drive. [01:41] hi channel - I have two laptops, both with Ubuntu Lucid all updated. In mouse preferences, one has a trackpad tab, the other does not. Why is that? [01:41] hello i have a problem with a disk which has 278G of space when im using du -h --max-depth=1 im getting 245G of files when im now opening nautilus it shows me that there are 0bytes space left on the disk i also cant make folder or create new files how can i fix this_ [01:42] Jordan_U: R3cur51v3 i fail, though, to understand the benefit of that endeavour; the drive is physically damaged. chances of recovery are slim to none as it is. anything done at this point is simply a shot in the dark to begin with. furthermore, where will he put the image? he's running from a thumb drive! [01:42] axisys: It is possible, but isn't suggested or has a straight forward way of doing it. I would suggest saving your package list "dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt", saving your home directory and then doing a fresh 64-bit install. [01:42] carl0s-: arrow is direction of "ascending" order. what is backwards? [01:43] thune3, it is back to front to all other operating systems, and intuition. The icon for "descending" is ^, which is unintuitive/wrong. [01:43] looking for a client that can do sftp access? [01:43] thune3, ^ shows something getting larger... [01:44] arooni: Terminal? [01:44] thune3, for ascending it should be ^ and for descending it should be v [01:44] arooni, filezilla [01:44] hi, just installed ubuntu and when i attemp to boot into ubuntu I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown wn-block(0,0) - any ideas how to fix this or why it is happening? [01:44] axisys: If you upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit without a fresh install then you will most likely end up with a broken system as some /etc and /var files are architecture specific. [01:45] R3cur51v3: you need a second larger drive to do this properly. [01:45] heh, removing fbcon made it load the framebuffer but disable the console, fun [01:46] iBiZa: Do you get a command prompt? [01:46] io, i need to be able to list a directory [01:46] Guest71651, filezilla doesnt seem to support keys [01:47] I am using a music software and for some reason it thinks the /home/ folder is empty. How bad would it be if I would create a folder /Music/ ? [01:47] io: no, but I can get into it [01:47] Kevin`: Can you humor me and try booting the kernel from grub2 with "set gfxpayload=text"? [01:47] !fsck | iBiZa [01:47] iBiZa: 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 [01:47] carl0s-: i guess i'm not clear what you are saying. the arrow corresponds to ascending: ^ means bottom-to-top ascending and v means top-to-bottom ascending. i'm on 9.10, but it's hard to believe it is different for 10.04 [01:48] Jordan_U: if you can link me a cd, floppy, or bootable binary image of grub2 [01:48] io: can't get into the command line sorry. only get minimal bash like [01:48] alpha_: Can you change the path it uses to /home/$user/Music or something? [01:49] thune3, no, you need to think about the shape. ^ starts off small and gets larger, in the same way that the mathematics symbols > and < work.. The shape of V is starting off big and getting thinner/smaller towards the bottom. [01:49] Kevin`: How about all 3 in one :) http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso [01:49] io: Nope, it complains and seem to think there is no such path [01:50] Kevin`, I'm going to use an compressed FUSE-mounted filesystem on another compute.r [01:50] alpha_: You changed the path in the application? [01:50] Can anyone recommend a good FUSE-mounted compressed filesystem? [01:50] iBiZa: I have no idea then, someone else should be able to help if you keep asking every now and then. [01:50] thanks io and ubottu - I guess the best way is to add the package to Debian [01:50] alpharesearch: No problem. :-) [01:51] io: thanks. [01:51] R3cur51v3: why does it have to be fuse? ntfs I suppose. [01:51] hello! i got a problem with sound output: when i select "analog output", both speakers an headphones works on the same time! and if i select "analog headphones", they dont work at all! [01:51] hi guys [01:51] R3cur51v3: I highly recommend you use a standard filesystem though [01:51] io, sorry I don't get what you mean. I've tried setting the path to /home/usernamne/Music but it does not work. My harddrive (I guess: home folder) is encrypted, could that be an issue? [01:51] !hi | Marioux [01:51] Marioux: 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! [01:51] Kevin`, ?? [01:51] I have a few questions about ndiswrapper and encore ENLWI-G wireless card [01:52] I can't make it run on Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 [01:52] :s [01:52] io: so how do I use that selections.txt file ? [01:52] I'm planning on transferring the files over an ethernet cord to another computer [01:52] Marioux: i used to do that in 32 bit intell [01:52] alpha_: What application? Are you sure that you have created /home/$user/Music and not somewhere else by accident? Can you "cd /home/$user/Music" in Terminal and it will take you there? [01:52] R3cur51v3: nfs may be reasonable [01:52] should i have to build lau to get its header files? ive already installed the binary and i got a single file out of it.. no lua.h [01:53] goku__, trouble seems to appear in the 64 bit version [01:53] Marioux: never tried 63 bits [01:53] R3cur51v3: realize that the proper way of doing this, if you don't have the filesystem working, is to make an image of the entire drive. if you don't have space for that, wait until you do. just leave the drive on the shelf. [01:53] carl0s-: i think of it like an arrow that points in the direction of ascending. thinking about it though, its meaning could go either way depending on how one looks at it. I wonder if there is a gconf variable to change it. [01:54] io: dpkg --set-selections selections.txt ? [01:54] axisys: On the 32-bit install do "dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt" and once you have the fresh 64-bit install you can "dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt". [01:54] io: ok.. thanks a lot [01:54] hello! i got a problem with sound output: when i select "analog output", both speakers an headphones works at the same time! and if i select "analog headphones", they dont work at all! [01:54] io: there are some flash issues with 64bit .. correct ? [01:54] Hardened, That's pretty awesome [01:54] io: Yes, I am 100% sure. The application is named Squeezebox [01:54] Kevin`, I'm going to use gddrescue to copy the file to a compressed filesystem on another computer. [01:54] s/file/image [01:54] thune3, I dunno. I reported as a bug over a year ago, but it's still unconfirmed. Mac OS and Windows both work the way I think it should work, so I'm not alone!! https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578416 [01:55] yeah! [01:55] io: flashplayer that is [01:55] axisys: I am not sure on that I'm afraid. I only use 64-bit on servers which do not require that. [01:55] io: it tells me "Invalid value "/home/alpha/Music" for audiodir" [01:55] Hardened, Check your alsamixer settings [01:55] R3cur51v3: btrfs also supports compression I think, although I have never used it [01:55] alpha_: What was it set to previously? [01:56] Jordan_U: do you remember the qemu option to make a vfat disk automatically from a directory? [01:56] grub no has host filesystem access [01:56] io: Blank, which means that it only streams music from the internet [01:56] xavierm i checked it..and i found something: when i mute the headphones, it mutes the speakers too! [01:57] axisys: You could always check the release notes, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes. [01:57] carl0s-: here is a blog post related to this usability issue: http://matthom.com/archive/2009/03/24/usability-column-sorting-arrow-indicators [01:57] alpha_: Find out what that field is expecting. Is it actually expecting a folder? [01:57] Kevin`: No, sorry. You can always mkfs a file and loop mount it. [01:58] Hardened, How many inputs does your sound card have? [01:58] Hardened, check this picture, might give you a hint: http://bit.ly/dfM1Bj [01:58] Jordan_U: in a few minutes I will do that, I made it "work" for now by removing all the fb backend modules from the installer [01:58] alpha_: I'm heading out now unfortunetly, someone else may be able to help or ask on their website as they don't seem to have an IRC channel here. [01:59] io: Ok, thanks for your efforts. cheers [01:59] thune3, ah, interesting! He's on the same wavelength as me! [01:59] there is a message though, "trying to enable framebuffer", that is probably from a userland script [01:59] thune3, good find :) [01:59] might check that out too [01:59] when i use apt-rdepends with no options it seems to work fine but it doesn't include Recommends, if i add --follow=Depends,PreDepends,Recommends it doesn't appear to be recursive any more [02:00] is this thing on? [02:01] :P [02:01] no, not on [02:01] hmm [02:01] mic check [02:01] 1 2 === Omnifarious is now known as Omni|AFK [02:01] xavierm,3 outputs! one in front and one in the back and a digital out..and 2 inputs: microphone in and line in [02:03] i take it no one uses apt-rdepends [02:03] io: thanks [02:03] maybe i should figure out how to do it with apt-cache [02:03] !patience | NotALamer [02:03] NotALamer: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [02:03] the ubuntu installer should have an option for a swap file [02:04] axisys: No problem. :-) [02:04] (not device) [02:04] i wasn't planning on repeating the question [02:05] .org === geowany is now known as g30w4ny [02:05] xavierm, is it normal that with "lspci" i found that my sound card is "alc1200" but in the support page of my pc (hp) its an "alc888s" [02:06] is there an ubuntu chatroom for Portuguese speakers? [02:06] seidos, I dont think so [02:06] are radeonhd drivers shipped by default and activated? [02:06] Kevin`: Another option would be to use a virtual serial console. [02:06] coz_, thank you [02:06] Raydiation, yes they should be [02:06] coz_: ty [02:07] is the radeon driver open source and built into the kernel? [02:07] alguem do Brasil ? [02:07] Jordan_U: hmm, true. less useful when applied to physical computers though :) [02:07] !br | Escobar [02:07] Escobar: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:07] seidos, it is offered by default [02:07] (well, it's useful, it just needs the extra computer and the cable) [02:08] coz_, so yes? [02:09] Has anyone here ever installed aircrack? [02:09] Would anyone know where the GPG public/private keypairs are kept, once generated by Seahorse? [02:09] seidos not sure if they are incorporated into the kernel but certainly ...at least with ubuntu... they are enabled by default if your card is supported [02:09] !ati [02:09] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:09] xavierm... [02:09] coz_, ok [02:09] Bossmanbeta, i would not sorry [02:09] My x301 with Ubuntu is awesome. [02:09] I need some help using a .patch file. [02:10] always try the opensource video drivers work. when they work, they tend to cause far less problems [02:10] always try first* [02:10] Jimshoes, you may want to go to the ##linux channel or the #programming channel :) [02:10] alright thanks, coz_ [02:10] well is there any other way to get a list of recursive package dependencies? it looks like apt-cache will follow Suggests as well, which i would rather it didn't [02:10] NotALamer, for compiz? [02:11] on my desktop the opensource ati driver even does 3d stuff [02:11] Kevin`, and I hear it works well with opengl applications like cairo dock as well [02:11] nah i'm trying to make a list of all the dependencies and recommendations for ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard [02:11] so i can see what extra stuff i have installed [02:12] NotALamer, sorry I though I was in the #compiz channel ...duh too many channels :) [02:12] i already did it once but if you don't give apt-rdepends any options it doesn't follow Recommends [02:12] hehe [02:13] Hardened, sorry, no it's not normal. When did it start happening? [02:13] i guess i could just apt-get --set-selections from my list and then see what aptitude thinks i should reselect [02:13] Hardened, I mean headphones and speakers mixing up [02:13] hello all, i'm having an issue with my eth0 coming up correctly on boot. no matter if it is dhcp or static, i always have to do ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 to get the interface to work properly [02:14] NotALamer: have you looked as the tasksel lists? [02:14] hi! since a fresh installation of ubuntu ;) [02:14] hm no [02:14] i actually just saw tasksel in aptitude recently and meant to check it out [02:14] but i forgot [02:14] thanks [02:14] How can I manually set the channel my generic (defualt) wireless driver is on? [02:15] LorgonJortle: iwconfig xxx channel # [02:15] xavierm, since a fresh installation of ubuntu ;) [02:15] Where xxx is wlan0 Kevin`? [02:15] LorgonJortle: you should not need to use that unless you are using ap or rfmon mode [02:16] LorgonJortle: yes [02:16] My internet keeps cutting out. [02:16] So I thought telling it exactly what channel to go on might help. [02:16] You don't think so? [02:17] it's doubtful that is the problem [02:17] Hmmph [02:17] can you ping anything when it stops working [02:18] i have two wireless interfaces, i want one of them to be managed by network-manager, and i want the other to be handled manually by me, how can i tell network-manager to do this, there is no way to do that from the GUI, is there any config file that i can modify to affect this behavior? [02:18] my wireless problems kind of magically went away when I set up a nice openwrt+atheros ap [02:18] yeah there's a file nixbox, i forget where it is [02:18] nixbox: I think if you set it via /etc/interfaces then you should be able to set it manually [02:19] NotALamer: I haven't tried, but the entire connection cuts out, I believe. [02:19] My kingdom to the first who answers the question.. [02:19] yeah that one [02:19] skulker: which? [02:19] /etc/network/interfaces [02:19] I have an external RAID enclosure connected to my Ubunto 10.04 box with an eSATA card and cable. [02:19] Inside said enclosure are four 1TB drives I wish to configure in RAID1+0 [02:20] skulker: 42 [02:20] do you have any other computers sharing the same connection, and do they also stop working? [02:20] In Ubunto, I see /sd[bcde] [02:20] er, /dev/sd[bcde] [02:20] skulker: does the raid enclosure do raid itself or does it just present the drives to the host === sshc_ is now known as sshc [02:20] However, when I reboot, sometimes I do not see one or more of the drives in /dev [02:20] how can I make the middle mouse button in ubuntu 10.4 work for scrolling on firefox? [02:20] right now it serves to copy and paste selections of text [02:20] NotALamer: My brother has a laptop using Win7 x64. Lemme ask if it ever cuts out. [02:20] k [02:21] Kevin - It's a Rosewill RSV-S4-X, supposedly it will do RAID internally.. but without appropriate software, I figure it just passes the drives to Ubuntu. [02:21] NotALamer: Nah, he said that it never does. === TechnoPagan_tm is now known as riverwind_ [02:21] well it must be your box then [02:21] where can i get logitech pc gamepad drivers? [02:21] Assuming that's the case, missing drives on reboot is my first concern. [02:21] Agreed. [02:22] I can't get any sound on my 10.04 Netbook Edition [02:22] skulker: if it did raid internally you wouldn't need software, except maybe to configure it. I doubt it's hardware raid [02:22] This moratorium is for net neutrality that I posted on my blog [02:22] i would try to figure out what exactly stops working, when it stops working [02:22] like can you still ping other computers on your network, or google.com [02:22] skulker: post of kernel log of it working and not working [02:22] can you still nslookup or dig an address [02:22] It seems rather random; it's not when there is a heavy load, or when I'm doing anything specific. [02:22] do your routes in netstat -nr look ok [02:23] does your interface still have an ip [02:23] I haven't tried. My internet is working as of right now. Hence my ability to be here. [02:23] where can i get logitech pc gamepad drivers? [02:23] yeah [02:23] I can't get any sound on my 10.04 Netbook Edition; what other information do you need to help me solve the problem? [02:23] it's hard to fix without knowing what exactly is breaking [02:23] robertzaccour: Logitech website? [02:23] NotALamer: No doubt. [02:24] LorgonJortle: do i install them with ndisgtk? [02:24] iyunkateus: try using ALSA [02:24] try checking that stuff the next time it breaks [02:24] Yeah [02:24] how long does it stay off/ [02:24] I will [02:24] ? [02:24] Forever. Until I Disable/Enable wireless. [02:24] Nikon: I'm pretty sure I am using ALSA [02:24] ah [02:25] how often does it happen? [02:25] iyunkateus: so you configured it to use ALSA? [02:25] It'll try to connect, but the green only one green dot will light up, meaning that it hasn't chatted with my router. If I enable.disable it, the second green light will light up and I'll have connection. [02:25] iyunkateus: it doesnt come like that [02:25] It can happen a few times a day. [02:25] Kevin - actually, it's just a port multiplier, so software it is. [02:26] Nikon: Is that something new to 10.04 or something? I thought ALSA was the default. [02:26] I'm looking for kern.log evidence.. so far nothing stands out [02:26] hm sounds like it's specific to wireless, but i have no idea what that second green light actually means [02:26] no [02:26] How do I set the resolution for my camera globally? [02:26] do you get any log messages in messages or syslog? [02:26] NotALamer: Do you know what I'm talking about with the "second green light"? [02:27] yeah [02:27] The capture is screwed at higher than 320x240 but it defaults to 640x480 [02:27] i used to have ubuntu on my laptop [02:27] I'ven't checked the logs. [02:27] haven't used it recently though [02:27] that would be a good idea too [02:27] iyunkateus: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [02:27] What's the absolute location of the sys log? [02:27] works on 10 too i believe [02:27] /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog [02:27] Ok, thanks. [02:27] When I try to install gfxboot and try to "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" it says: [02:27] The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. [02:28] syslog is empty... [02:28] that's odd [02:28] maybe it just rotated [02:28] do you have older ones? [02:28] iyunkateus: ubuntu comes with pulseaudio [02:28] This reboot worked, not sure why.. [02:29] Lemme check [02:29] like syslog.1 [02:29] or syslog.2.gz [02:29] Is there a way to rescan the SCSI chain and mount drives that may not have spun up fast enough? [02:29] Yeah, syslog.1 [02:29] Nikon: oh, I thought that it came with ALSA, considering that pulseaudio has a seperate volume control [02:29] I'll check it out [02:29] probably should check dmesg too [02:30] Ton of stuff in here about wireless [02:30] not surprising [02:31] iyunkateus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=895216 [02:31] iyunkateus: i had the exact same problem btw [02:31] Does anybody know of a program that can give me a list of sectors that files on a CD occupy? [02:31] I suppose I'll wait until next time it happens and check the log. [02:32] yeah maybe it will tell you what's wrong [02:32] Thanks for the help, man. [02:32] no problem [02:32] good luck [02:32] does anybody know what would cause ssh transfers to be limited to 100Mbps speeds? if i check something out via svn or sftp on my server I get a max transfer rate of about 12MBps. however if transfer via afp I'll max the raid out. [02:33] is there any way to get ansi characters working in terminal? all i get is the following: ��� (diamond question marks) [02:33] pyrophelia: Encryption overhead. [02:33] Nikon: Sure, locale. [02:33] !locale [02:33] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [02:33] !utf8 [02:34] guys one question [02:34] pyrophelia: yeah, i was gonna say the same thing, ssh encryption is probably keeping it back [02:34] If I cp-Rp my / on another partition [02:34] KB1JWQ: is it possible to speed it up? [02:34] !utf8 [02:34] !utf-8 [02:34] and use it as RAID will it work [02:34] Ugh. Anyone know what Ubuntu package has the XMLParser module for Python? I've checked Google with the obvious terms in my send and came up dry. [02:34] pyrophelia: Sure. Don't use SSH. [02:34] :/ [02:34] Use netcat or whatnot. :-) [02:34] thanks KB1JWQ [02:34] I don't want to dd the disk [02:34] pyrophelia: you could try a faster proc... or you could find a sort of hardware encryption solution [02:35] I don't think it's that [02:35] Jordan_U: how can I disable the framebuffer from starting after install? [02:35] pyrophelia: hardware encryption is why dedicated VPN routers are so expensive... [02:35] when i do a transfer atop never breaks 10% for sftp [02:35] * I mean cp -R --preserve=all [02:36] pyrophelia: can you temporarily set the cipher to 'none' to see if encryption is really the problem? [02:36] for example, if I open of filezila and start a single transfer it caps at 100Mbps, but if I allow 10 instances, then I'll get full bandwidth [02:36] pyrophelia: there's more to it than that. NAPI will prevent the CPU from getting swamped [02:37] even with 10 instances all going through sftp, it still doesn't break 10% [02:37] in atop at least [02:38] !htop [02:38] the raid isn't maxed [02:38] Kevin`: With a normal install you'd edit /etc/default/grub (ether by uncommenting #GRUB_TERMINAL=console, since by default grub uses gfxpayload=keep, meaning keep the current mode or by setting GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=text) [02:38] I can only max the raid out if I use something like afp [02:39] afp? [02:39] where does vbox keep the vdi file? don't seem to be in the oracle/vbox directory [02:40] apples version of ipx [02:40] j_ayen_green, somewhere in your home directory [02:40] Jordan_U: I know how to do it for grub, but even if I do that ubuntu will enable it itself [02:40] smallfoot-: using a windows host [02:40] oh [02:40] maybe somewhere under Document & Settings [02:40] Kevin`: I'm not completely certain that a frambuffer won't be setup afterward but given that using gfxpayload=text helps many people for whom their ttys don't show up at all, I think that mode is kept. [02:41] I love Ubuntu [02:41] i do too [02:42] Jordan_U: i'll try that when I get networking enabled in the vm (editing files on fb is too slow). but I doubt it will make a difference [02:42] ah, found it [02:43] so [02:43] I just installed ftpd just to test my theory [02:43] full bandwidth [02:43] i had to add a repository to install a specific program and now that i have it, i want to get rid of that repository, i've removed it from sources.list do i need to run a command in apt-get to completely remove it or the package lists it got from it? [02:44] but ssh is never using excesive ammounts of bandwidth [02:44] er cpu time that is [02:44] what do I do [02:44] chemicalvamp - yep just apt-get update [02:44] chemicalvamp: just aptitude / apt-get update will be enough. unless you want the little space back from the list files [02:45] i just dont want to get any updates from the site i added [02:45] so if its gone from sources.list its all good [02:45] thanks [02:45] I found a workaround for my XMLParser problem. [02:46] what does a chemicalvamp eat? [02:46] whatever he decides [02:46] Now I'm trying to find out why Ubuntu's tar can't examine a compressed ISO but FreeBSD's tar can. Whee! [02:47] mostly blondes though [02:47] oh [02:47] Jordan_U: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=text didn't seem to do anything, either to grub or linux [02:47] yeah blonde guys are hot [02:47] zing [02:48] ahh im gonna stab ./configure.. i have lua5.1 and lua50 headers installed and "lua.h is required, install lua header files" [02:49] Kevin`: You ran "sudo update-grub"? GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD controlls the mode that grub passes to the kernel, if you want grub itself to use console then set GRUB_TERMINAL=console . [02:50] chemicalvamp: Did you run "sudo apt-get build-deb lua5.1"? [02:50] chemicalvamp: Sorry, "build-dep" not "build-deb" [02:51] Jordan_U: how is it passed to the kernel [02:51] yeah Jordan_U says i need to some 'sources' URIs in my sources.lst [02:51] and yes, I ran update-grub [02:52] and i cant find a lua source repository [02:52] and the "simple" lua5.1.4 source build failed.. [02:52] Kevin`: Via the linux boot protocal, "vga=" has always been somewhat of a lie as documented in http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt [02:53] What's the proper way to set rootdelay in grub? [02:53] Jordan_U: well, it's still starting a framebuffer. after boot of course, probably the same way the installer is [02:53] hello [02:53] I'm assuming modifyin the file in /boot/grub is nono [02:53] although i'm sure the options are different [02:54] hi [02:54] hi Hasch [02:54] hi, just installed ubuntu and when i attemp to boot into ubuntu I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown wn-block(0,0) - any ideas how to fix this or why it is happening? [02:55] skulker: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub. you can change the menu file directly but the changes will be overwritten by updates. i'm sure you are also aware you can change it at boot, while in grub [02:55] anyone testing maverick? [02:56] Kevin`: The obviously out of date https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer suggests adding "nofb" as a kernel parameter (but then it also suggests that vga=normal should work). [02:58] someone from mexico ? [02:58] any1 got an intel gma 4500m ? because i'm stuck now with the missing driver support on lucid lynx [02:59] which driver Hasch? [02:59] my graphic driver [02:59] [03:00] Hasch: is that a laptop? [03:00] graphics media accelerator(GMA) 4500M from intel [03:00] yep [03:00] Haxch: have you try at intel site? [03:00] Hasch: what model laptop? === Sup|Lobby is now known as Petrov [03:01] aspire 2930Z from Acer === Petrov is now known as SuP|Lobby [03:02] Jordan_U: nofb doesn't work. grub complains that vga= is incorrect usage, and also doesn't work. gfxpayload=text in grub doesn't work [03:02] Hasch: it looks like there is already support, right? since like 8.10? [03:02] Hasch: are you getting a black screen at boot up? [03:03] ^^ no black screen or any boot up problems but [03:04] when i ' ve got too many windows open pc starts goin slow and 3d games are aweful or dont work at all [03:04] and when i get on system>admin>system monitor [03:04] Kevin`: I have no idea. If you give a bogus root= option then you can tell if the framebuffer is being setup in the initramfs. [03:04] then dont have so many windows open [03:04] or get a better computer [03:05] Jordan_U: it's not in the initramfs, blacklisting the module works [03:05] Getting a very odd no space left error: http://pastie.org/1054716 [03:05] As you can see, there's... quite a bit of spare room. [03:06] Yet, make a text file that says 'test' and you get a no space on device message [03:06] 5 gb left? [03:06] 6 [03:06] 138GB available on / [03:07] windows aint the big problem but if i go on syste preferences and hit monitor settings [03:07] JamesHarrison: Anything interesting in dmesg? [03:07] JamesHarrison: it's complaining about the usb drive, or /? [03:07] Kevin`: / [03:07] no DDC/CI support [03:07] Jordan_U: First thing I checked, nothing [03:08] JamesHarrison: have it run fsck [03:08] atm just on vesa standard monitor [03:10] i have a question, offtopic... === jack is now known as Guest25996 [03:10] Kevin`: fsck reveals some minor errors on the mapper, just rebooting to run it while umounted now [03:10] jack@jack-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [03:10] Setting up menu (2.1.43ubuntu1) ...

[03:13] Kevin`: jo i just checked on google... seams to be that way [03:13] Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1054725 [03:13] Kevin`: even though a phd is not a dr in german... [03:14] JamesHarrison: "Free inodes: 8", there's your problem. [03:14] hi, just installed ubuntu and when i attemp to boot into ubuntu I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown wn-block(0,0) - any ideas how to fix this or why it is happening? [03:14] can you help me ?"http://paste.ubuntu.com/467288/" [03:14] Jordan_U: Okay. Free inodes are a problem why? What's the solution? [03:15] oh, lack of free inodes. [03:15] * JamesHarrison facepalms [03:15] (coming up on 3AM here, doing great today...) [03:15] Any try Lubuntu? is it really pretty much the same thing minus Gnome? [03:16] LucidGuy, not really. [03:16] LucidGuy, its application collection includes more lighter options, I believe. [03:16] Daekdroom, have you tried it? [03:16] JamesHarrison: Unfortunately there's no way* to increase the number of available inodes in place. *You could convert to btrfs in place, but btrfs is still not very stable. [03:17] LucidGuy, No, but given the figures about RAM usage I have read, I can asure you it's somewhat different. [03:17] what should i do ????http://paste.ubuntu.com/467288/ === soreau_ is now known as soreau [03:18] Daekdroom, I have a Dell Mini 10 atom proc. I want this baby to go as fast as possible. Mainly web browsing. [03:19] JamesHarrison: You can also just delete a bunch of small files. [03:20] Jordan_U: Pretty sure issue is down to inode size on this partition; btrfs may end up being the only solution but I'll cull some old source directories for the time being. [03:20] Cheers for the help! === jack is now known as Guest9222 [03:21] plz help"http://paste.ubuntu.com/467288/" [03:21] JamesHarrison: I don't think there's an online way to increase inodes. you may need to copy the data off and reformat it with more [03:22] JamesHarrison: it's pretty easy to fix in the latter way though [03:22] aside from the time it will take [03:22] Kevin`: Yeah, fair enough :) Might give btrfs a try, been meaning to give it a spin anyway and this is just a test server; worst case I lose my continuous integration setup and restore from backup :) [03:22] modprobe nvidia-current [03:22] FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current (/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-current.ko): No such device [03:23] Guest9222: if you had a space before the paste url, maybe someone would actually click on it [03:23] any ideas?

[03:24] ^_^ [03:24] Guest9222: how did it get that way? [03:24] Kevin`: i guess that makes sense, since this is in a vmware guest [03:24] or it will be installed once I have install PHP ? [03:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/467288/ [03:25] or does that matter? [03:25] by installing wifi radar [03:25] Guest9222: try removing menu, and then reinstalling it [03:25] has anyone got ubuntu desktop effects working in vmware yet? [03:26] JamesHarrison: Kevin`: In place conversion of ext4 to btrfs, keeping the original ext4 filesystem intact, is one the most awesome concepts :) [03:26] !kvm [03:26] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu.

When I run the command on the terminal it works [03:26] axisys: it's not virtualization in ubuntu [03:26] axisys: it's virtualization of ubuntu [03:27] running ubuntu LTS 8.04 [03:27] Guest9222: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/menu.postinst ; dpkg --remove menu [03:27] vol7ron: right.. so ubuntu is a guest os correct ? [03:27] Hi, is it possible to see which application causes how much network traffic and to which host? [03:27] axisys: correct w/ a win7 host [03:28] axisys: next new hd will have ubuntu as a dual-boot [03:28] I tried editing it 2 ways: 1) crontab -e and 2) nano /etc/crontab [03:28] vol7ron: well i wont run win .. not my cup of tead [03:28] vol7ron: I think the best you can do in terms of drivers is to install the guest additions. Not sure about 3d [03:28] tea* [03:28] vol7ron: in virtulbox go to settings and enable 3d acell [03:28] ChogyDan: yeah, I think the whole OpenGL dilemma still hasn't been tackled [03:28] ChogyDan: thx i will try .

[03:32] Unidentified5176: first, install the default windows bootloader (ask in #windows), then delete the ubuntu partition [03:32] what'd I miss [03:32] Unidentified5176: pop in your windows cd and reboot. more help in ##windows [03:32] What is the database defult password, is it admin user password ? cuz i try to set the phpmyadmin and it give me fail when i enter admin of ubuntu password [03:32] thanks guys [03:32] unidentified5176: buy a new computer [03:33] i have a new computer [03:33] xD [03:33] sharif: brand new mysql install default user/pass is root/blank, from the localhost [03:33] i'm stupid, i installed linux and it removed everything. [03:33] ahh [03:33] lol why did u that for? [03:33] yeah you can just reformat during install [03:34] i couldn't buy win7 so they told me about this free os [03:34] so if phpmyadmin is running on the same box as mysql then you just enter root and no password [03:34] friend told me i can watch movies and anime in it. [03:34] unidentified5176: yes you can [03:34] Unidentified5176, new comuter did not come with windows 7 already installed? [03:34] came with vista [03:34] sharif: you do however realize that this is the ubuntu tech channel, not phpmyadmin or mysql [03:35] unidentified5176: vista these days is about equivalent to win7 [03:35] so? u can use youtube on vista too lol [03:35] Unidentified5176: the installer asks you if you want to remove everything or install next to an existing os. although if you weren't paying attention there's not much you can do about it now other than reinstalling, if you want it [03:35] vista sucks [03:35] so does win7 [03:35] Unidentified5176: I watch all my anime on ubuntu ;p [03:35] i saw win7 in my friend's house really fast and better than fista [03:35] me too [03:35] what "animie"?XD [03:35] true [03:36] 7 is better than vista for sure [03:36] you probably need to tweak vista, but after the latest service pack, the patches should have made it equivalent to win7 [03:36] but i had sound problems [03:36] !windows [03:36] i saw win7 on my new desktop for about 1 second before i installed linux over it [03:36] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

I can't wait til that will happen for ~$200 [03:40] just install mysql [03:40] download phpmyadmin, drop it in your apache webroot and go... [03:40] noisewaterphd, yes I did choose to install mysql and phpmyadmin maybe synatpic dose not install mysql first, I got it.. [03:41] vol7ron: you could probably do that with a newer-generation beableboard equivalent device [03:42] sharif: I've never installed phpmyadmin with a package manager, so I don't know what the problem is, i would imagine its no different though [03:42] noisewaterphd, may I ask how to install zend for php or its installed with php ? [03:43] you mean the zend framework? [03:43] noisewaterphd, I mean zend to run zend php files for php [03:43] because otherwise zend is just php, and I highly suggest just using the usual php packages [03:43] Kevin`: there's still this Ceton card that can capture 4 streams at once, I think off of 1 or 2 CableCARDs. It is around $400 by itself [03:44] sharif: ya, just php, thats all you need === oMg_iTz_eX is now known as ExcruciationX [03:44] apt-get install php [03:44] vol7ron: there's a cablecard device that works with linux? first i've heard of it [03:44] Kevin`: not sure it works on Linux :) [03:44] vol7ron: well, aside from the proprietary stuff in tivo I mean [03:45] vol7ron: it's not very useful if it doesn't ;p [03:45] hey guys, I wanna use gnome but having the splitting like ratpoison, is there possible?

[03:45] Question: could anyone link to instructions for using a pendrive as an apt repository? [03:45] noisewaterphd, Thanks so much ;) [03:45] sharif: np [03:45] vol7ron: I don't use cable so it's a non-issue, but i'm sure it will become one eventually when I want to use encrypted digital cable [03:46] yes it will and having max channels will enable you to record and host for your family/friends [03:46] stream tv from home to your iphone [03:46] I can do that now. just not with cable, as I don't have cable ;p [03:47] premium cable is where it's at [03:47] but i have to get back to this PostgreSQL install, thanks for the help guys [03:47] how could you stream tv to an iphone?

Actually I have made a separate partition for the same. But that doesn't give me a grub.cfg file.

That string of numbers and letters is the USB device ID, it's how the USb device identifies itself to the OS. First few hits on google talk about people using ndiswrapper, which uses the Windows drivers under Linux. It really sucks sometimes so hopefully you dont have to do that [04:34] yes, i have win7 in another partition and works [04:34] Marcus: what new libs, where did you find them, how did you install them and why? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [04:34] soreau: So I'm on the cd and I'm trying to mount and then chroot my hd, which worked fine.

Purple screen of death. [04:36] no, i'm trying to install from scratch, booting from the cd [04:36] deexannihilate: did you install the ndiswrapper GUI? the package is called ndisgtk [04:36] Marcus: Ok so you chrooted into the file system. Did you attempt to downgrade said libs or undo what you did? [04:36] soreau: no just the ones the newest build of fspot asked for, actually now that I think about it, it might have been all of them.

[04:38] i want to use it inside a script [04:39] Nocturne: ubuntu is very easy, debian is very difficult [04:39] whatever one works best for you...that's the best distro. :) [04:39] peepingtom: thank you [04:39] np [04:39] Anyone know how to get a listing of attached displays? (:0.0, :0.1, etc) [04:39] without using xrandr [04:39] cyberal: Hopefully booting without modesetting will cause the nouveau driver to not do anything drastic with the card [04:39] how to set ubuntu to display boot messages instead of the progress bar during boot time? [04:40] soreau: so, is this option "nomodeset" available when i press the esc from boot? [04:40] peepingtom: thx [04:40] soreau: how can I fix my sources.list file? [04:40] Marcus: I don't even know at what point your boot fails and I really have no idea what's wrong with you're system. You broke it, now it's up to you to explain how you broke it and what you're trying to do to fix it. If apt-get update is broken on a proper chroot, then it will likely be broken when you boot from the hard drive too [04:41] Marcus: Open /etc/apt/sources.list and see if you notice any obvious errors [04:41] proper chroot? I just found the hard drive at /media/basdjasjdjsja/ and chrooted into it? Is that proper? [04:41] !paste Marcus [04:41] soreau: proper chroot? I just found the hard drive at /media/basdjasjdjsja/ and chrooted into it? Is that proper? [04:41] I accidentally removed the icon that looks like an envelope from my top bar in Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome Desktop). How do I put it back? [04:41] ...I do not understand bots :( [04:41] soreau: then, any other detail before i leave this channel and go try myself :) ? [04:42] cyberal: Yes, I think it is set as a list option so you don't have to type it in [04:42] soreau: thank you very much!!! [04:42] peepingtom: How can I paste without flooding? [04:42] DouglasK: just right click on the bar and select add to panel [04:42] Marcus: You have to mount certain points before chrooting into it [04:42] !paste | Marcus [04:42] Marcus: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:43] peepingtom: abhijit: He's not even flooding.. [04:43] soreau, he asked the question above himself [04:43] ah [04:43] 721005 [04:44] Marcus: sorry I thought you needed some really specific help, I meant paste your error messages using [04:44] !paste [04:44] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:44] soreau, peepingtom: How can I paste without flooding? === administrator is now known as Guest20986 [04:44] Marcus: so someone can look at them and help you [04:44] mercury_halo, Ok, but which item is it? I don't see any with that icon in the list. [04:44] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/467311/ [04:44] soreau: sources.list === slutAsianWif is now known as dklfaklrkeref [04:44] DouglasK: maybe its the mail client [04:44] Nocturne: (just realised I called debian difficult, meant gentoo and I am tired :( [04:44] DouglasK: thunderbird [04:44] anyone know how to change the resolution of the virtual terminals? [04:45] Festicle: do you run proprietary drivers? [04:45] peepingtom: '-' [04:45] DouglasK: i dont think you really need it [04:45] peepingtom: yes nvidia === eduardo_ is now known as excess^ [04:45] before I installed drivers the resolution was fine [04:46] how to set ubuntu to display boot messages instead of the progress bar during boot time? [04:46] Marcus: It might help to show the command you're running that's failing. Not sure how you installed/upgraded these libraries but removing/downgrading them should fix it, logically thinking [04:46] is there a way to get what the current working dir is? [04:46] mercury_halo, I should have been more clear. It was the icon that drops down a list which shows Chat, Mail and ... that social app, Gwibber. I'd like it back as I tend to use it regularly. [04:46] from the terminal? [04:46] Festicle: because the open source drivers are better that way, they use "kernel mode setting" [04:46] is there a way to get what the current working dir is, from the terminal? [04:46] how can i make my box sleep and wake when i need to ssh or get a file from it? [04:46] Quick question, where do I add /dev/null for creating FTP accounts ? [04:46] DouglasK:which version of ubuntu r u using [04:46] rgoytacaz, pwd is the command [04:46] Festicle: if you really care (and it's not super easy) google around for "framebuffer" "VT" "resolution" [04:46] rgoytacaz, ped [04:47] rgoytacaz, pwd [04:47] mercury_halo, I'm using 10.04, Gnome Desktop. [04:47] peepingtom: ok thanks, i tried googling stuff but i was getting no where, now that I have some key words it should help. thanks [04:47] soreau: Just a question on the mounting issue - When I loaded the cd, my local hard drive was mounted in media/bagahshsdh can't I just use that as the chroot? [04:47] hi [04:47] festicle: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-June/117497.html [04:48] Festicle: it's more complicated with widescreen. [04:48] DouglasK: well i am not sure [04:48] I'm completely stumped. Other than the possibility of having a blacklisted key, I cannot figure out any good reason why my server is not accepting my Putty-generated RSA2 keys. I'm using authorized_keys2, into which I concatenated my public key. Password Authentication, Pam, Challenge Questions, and everything I can think of is disabled. RSAAuthentication is enabled. I've restarted the server several times. [04:48] 1 have 2 webcams.. how d I change the defualt webcam in ubuntu 10.04? [04:48] mercury_halo, no worries. I do appreciate the try. :-) [04:48] Marcus: yes you can. [04:48] Marcus: erm oops [04:48] anybody know? [04:48] peepingtom: Here is the lspci output. It's asking for the identification, perhaps I'm not seeing it. Can you take a look please? http://pastebin.com/jqtakKz0 [04:49] Here's what I installed soreau: sudo apt-get install automake1.9 libtool git-core intltool sudo apt-get build-dep f-spot [04:49] is it possible box sleep and wake when i need to ssh or get a file from it? [04:49] Marcus: you can chroot using that folder, you still need to point chroot at that folder though [04:49] soreau: before the crash. [04:49] DouglasK: if it was on the panel u have a good chance of finding it again [04:49] peepingtom: yeah.. i have 720p [04:49] Marcus: TARGET="sda1"; sudo mkdir /mnt/$TARGET && sudo mount /dev/$TARGET /mnt/$TARGET && sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/$TARGET/proc && sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/$TARGET/dev && sudo mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/$TARGET/dev/pts && sudo chroot /mnt/$TARGET /bin/bash [04:49] deexannihilate: it's a USB device so it won't be in there [04:49] Marcus: That will mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/sda1 [04:49] deexannihilate: look at lsusb [04:49] Marcus: and chroot into it right [04:49] peepingtom: okay. you already gave me that number. thanks. [04:50] 1 have 2 webcams.. how d I change the defualt webcam in ubuntu 10.04? please. [04:50] mercury_halo, thanks for the encouragement. I'll continue to dig around. Failing that, I have a 10.04 Gnome box at work, I'll see if it will give any clues. [04:50] soreau you are so nice I could have used that 30min ago [04:50] default* [04:50] hey is Fontconfig set up in ubuntu? [04:50] Marcus: You just have to change 'sda1' to your real device node [04:50] DouglasK: good luck [04:50] can i add custom fonts to ~/.fonts ? [04:51] mercury_halo: remove "quiet" from grub to see the boot sequence text [04:51] glick: try it! I dont think Linux has a big font database thing like Windows does [04:51] MaRk-I: Finally thanks! [04:52] soreau: if my drive is at sda and its mounted at /media/bashdjhasd what should be the mounting command? [04:52] Marcus: And the command to install those libs and headers you showed are not likely to make your system unbootable [04:52] mercury_halo: yw [04:52] Marcus: sda1? === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [04:52] glick: actually it does, it's called fc-cache [04:52] Marcus: sd* is the drive, the # is the partition [04:52] soreau: the only other thing is that I cleared out my cache files in ubuntu tweak, which contained my fglrx drivers [04:53] glick: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts#Manually [04:53] Marcus: So sda2 is the second partition on the first drive [04:53] Marcus: Now that might have screwed things up [04:53] soreau: ??? really? [04:53] Marcus: When you boot, at what point does it fail exactly? [04:54] soreau: flashing underscore, ubuntu logo - dots underneath, purple screen...freeze [04:54] Marcus: Ok do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? === g30w4ny is now known as geowany [04:54] soreau: I believe so. [04:55] soreau: let me check. [04:55] hey all, my computer is running ubuntu 8.04. the problem is my nvidia video card isn't working right. my monitor resolution is 800 x 600. [04:55] 1 have 2 webcams.. how d I change the default webcam in ubuntu 10.04? [04:55] soreau: yep [04:55] how do change it? === Guest98156 is now known as celthunder [04:55] dis: more info, how is it not working and when did it stop working? [04:56] dis: you use proprietary drivers? use nvidia-settings [04:56] HI [04:56] yes, i do. [04:57] dis: use nvidia settings. is your problem that it resets every time you log in to gnome? [04:57] Marcus: if you have nvidia card you might want to try appending "nomodeset" or if you have intel "i915.modeset=0 or 1, in your grub [04:57] dis: I mean nvidia-settings, "sudo nvidia-settings" [04:58] peepingtom, so i can just put them in a .fonts folder in my home folder? [04:58] MaRk-I: I can't get to my grub, even holding down shift for 50 years... [04:58] and it will automagically work? [04:58] yes, that's the problem. [04:58] try esc key or any key [04:58] MaRk-I: which one is the any key? Doh! LOL [04:58] glick: I'm pretty sure, if it doesnt then check that wiki page again and learn about that font database thinger [04:58] MaRk-I: tried that, nothing gets me to my grub. LOL [04:59] dis: it does that because you changed resolution in gnome-display-properties probably [04:59] Hello,I come from China [04:59] dis: 1 sec, ill figure out what file you need to delete [04:59] howdy [04:59] ok [04:59] xgl: also ubuntu-cn uses your native script if you need it [04:59] Who is and I talk? [04:59] Marcus: If you do 'grep fglrx /path/to/etc/X11/xorg.conf' does it show anything? [05:00] !hi | xgl [05:00] xgl: 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! [05:00] soreau: let me try [05:00] !cn | xgl [05:00] #ubuntu-cn [05:00] xgl: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:00] Thanks [05:02] soreau: Driver "fglrx" [05:02] soreau: thats the response. [05:02] peepingtom: I'm having issues finding the drivers. It isn't listed on http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Main_Page [05:02] anyone having problems with Wine 1.20 + Steam client after latest update? [05:02] Marcus: paste the contents of your /etc/default/grub [05:03] dis: rm -rf ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/screen* [05:03] aristo: i use playonlinux and have no issues [05:03] How I can make the time for the login to appear when I am away more time? [05:03] Marcus: Alright, this is what i want you to try. Assuming your fglrx is hosed, do 'sudo mv /path/to/etc/X11/xorg.conf /path/to/etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak'. Careful to change both paths to match your real ones there. This will move the x conf file out of the way so that the radeon driver will be used instead [05:03] Hm. To use the Any key, you need to press the letters a, n and y simultaneously. You cannot press one of them first or your computer will EXPLODE! (hehe) [05:03] DouglasK: ? [05:04] take it out or show you? [05:04] anyone ho how to set the order of webcams? [05:04] anyone know how to use wake on lan? [05:04] soreau: ok. Let me try. And then reboot? It takes me about 15minutes to get my wireless drivers working for the CD if I have to reboot. [05:04] deexannihilate: just google the brand name and pretend youre looking for drivers for your Windows computer ;) [05:04] peepingtom: is it the same as the .exe file [05:04] Marcus: Yes, you would have to reboot to find out if it worked. Just make sure that file gets moved/renamed and then reboot [05:04] realopty: sometimes you have to enable it in BIOS with integrated NICs [05:05] hold on [05:05] if u want to use ndiswrapper, yes it is [05:05] soreau: ok, I trust you. LOL If it doesn't work, I'll see you in 15min. [05:05] TiK, was out of time sync .... it was in response to an "any key" comment a few mins ago. [05:05] deexannihilate: yes thats the point its a Windows driver installer ;) you want to get the files out of it [05:05] Marcus: Hopefully, we'll see you back sooner with a working X session ;) [05:05] MaRk-I: http://paste.ubuntu.com/467315/ Thats where the grub file is you asked for. [05:05] peepingtom, know how to make a computer go to sleep and wake up if i SSH it? [05:05] deexannihilate: using cabextract or just install it using wine and then copy the files, look at that ubuntu page on ndiswrapper [05:05] soreau: understatement of the night!!! [05:05] peepingtom: perhaps that's where I'm stuck. I tried unpacking it and it isn't allowing me. maybe, I'm doing that part incorrectly? [05:06] deexannihilate: try installing it using WINE and then just copy the files [05:06] realopty: you normally do that with a router on the LAN [05:06] DouglasK: oh [05:06] what is the difference betweeb boot.conf and boot.cfg files? [05:06] peepingtom: I don't have wine and it says it isn't compatible with my system. I've had issues running it before [05:06] between* [05:07] realopty: like you'd SSH to the already-awake router and wake up the sleeping computer [05:07] Marcus: ok go ahead and do what soreau suggested [05:07] Where does SpamAssassin log potential error messages? [05:07] deexannihilate: you run ubuntu 10.04, no? just install it using synaptic [05:07] peepingtom: alright, i'll give it a go again. [05:07] peepingtom, using WOL or what? [05:08] peepingtom: ubuntu software center said it wasn't compatible with i386 [05:08] deexannihilate: first run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa , latest version of wine [05:09] deexannihilate: run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa && sudo apt-get install wine [05:09] ⴺⴺⴻⵃⴼⴽ [05:09] realopty: yes, you either need to have your computer outside the firewall or have a fancypants router to do what you want to do [05:10] ⵕⵐⵋⴴ [05:10] what is the difference betweeb boot.conf and boot.cfg files? [05:10] fancypants meaning a $20 router with openwrt or something [05:10] peepingtom, im using openwrt on router so :) [05:10] does anyone know how to disable a webcam? [05:11] realopty: well it has a page for WoL, to wake any device on the LAN. Maybe your device doesnt support it, check your bios [05:11] device meaning compueer or laptop or whatever [05:12] indeed [05:12] hi there, i am using extended screen. but there are pink and green indicators on the 2 monitors on the top left. how do i get rid of them? [05:13] can i put .zip files into my ~/.fonts foldeR? [05:14] Zeu5: did you set the resolution properly? what is extended screen? [05:14] glick: the fonts won't work, but you sure can [05:14] so proprietary nvidia driver just gives blank screen on Toshiba Satellite S1410 with GeForce4 420 Go [05:14] peepingtom, heh [05:14] saivert: check launchpad for bugs [05:14] well, i want them to work [05:14] Ϟ [05:14] sry I dunno, maybe you could use tar.gz def. not zip though, google it thats a good thing to know ;) [05:15] peepingtom: i mean i attached another lcd screen to my laptop running on ubuntu. so there are 2 screens. on 1 screen there is a pink indicator saying goldstar the other screen is a green indicator saying laptop [05:15] funny enough Ubuntu 9.10 live cd worked fine with standard vga driver then I installed it to HDD and when it booted it didn't use standard vga and I had to recofngiure X [05:15] seems like the LiveCD environment detects the hardware differently than a full install [05:15] Zeu5: youre using gnome display manager? those go away when you close it [05:15] saivert: liveCD uses nouveau, not proprietary [05:16] seemed more like standard vga was being used. it didn't select proper 1024x768 [05:16] peepingtom: oh! didnt realise i didnt close it. thanks!~ [05:17] hi all, on a new install with both an IDE and a SATA hard drive, /etc/fstab is saying that /dev/sdb1 is mounted at /, but mount reports that /dev/sda1 is mounted there.... any ideas why this might happen? [05:17] I'm just trying to see what runs well on this old junk of a laptop [05:17] Windows 7 runs on it which was a surprise. I can even watch some video on it [05:17] thune3: hi [05:17] peepingtom: i got the resolution changed on the virtual terminals. thanks you so much for the help [05:18] spiderworm, /boot/grub/menu.lst is causing /dev/sda1 to mount at / when the kernel loads. by the time /etc/fstab is read, / is already used. [05:18] Festicle: can you give me a link? Id like to do it too :D [05:18] peepingtom: it was the link you provided [05:18] haha cool [05:18] peepingtom: install hwinfo and run sudo hwinfo --framebuffer [05:19] DouglasK, thank you. is it a bad idea for me to edit fstab to fix that mistake? [05:19] but i just edited the grub start command [05:19] instead of the file for tesing [05:19] how do I install the source code for gnome-terminal [05:19] ? [05:20] spiderworm, I'd just change the mount point for /dev/sdb1 to an empty folder OR change the ref to /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sda1. [05:20] spiderworm, also, back up fstab before editing it. [05:20] thanks DouglasK [05:20] hello channel [05:20] Spiderworm, My pleasure. [05:21] hello channel [05:21] Festicle: to do it permanently I think you can edit /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub as root [05:21] festicle: edit commandline-linux-default for first grub choise, commandline-linux for all others [05:21] can anybody here guide in the direction of jailbreaking a ipod touch running 3.1.2 [05:22] peepingtom: wine is telling me the drive is non executable. should i redownload the driver?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:22] sorry that was for luis_ [05:22] need help with mysql-server not starting on 10.04 [05:22] check permissions on the .exe dee [05:22] peepingtom: sweet thats what i was looking up now. at least i know I can get a nice looking terminal on my netbook lol [05:23] make sure to check allow execution [05:23] how can i change the gdm theme using the terminal? [05:23] i rebooted the server and still not start [05:23] deexannihilate: the drive is not executable? I dont understand [05:23] hmm [05:24] what runlevel is no gui, but networking? 5? [05:24] peepingtomL: The file '/home/dollface/Downloads/f7d1101 setup.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. [05:24] !netsplit [05:24] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:24] Festicle "text" works as a boot option [05:24] Festicle: did you actually get 16:9 resolutions? mine are all 4:3 [05:25] Where does SpamAssassin log potential error messages? [05:26] between Ubuntu ultimate, and Suse 11, which is superior? [05:26] peepingtom: no i had to resort to 1024x768 [05:26] justus: neither are supported here [05:26] peepingtom: not perfect but much better than what i had going [05:27] bullgard4: /var/log maybe? [05:27] peepingtom: i edited the preferences and marked it executable. [05:27] IdleOne: I had a look there. The /var/log/ directory is huge. [05:28] deexannilate: I dont think it has to be executable for wine to run it [05:28] just run in terminal : wine whateveritscalled.exe [05:28] peepingtom: it gives the error number 0x80040707 when I run it [05:28] bullgard4: try /var/lib/spamassassin/spamd.log [05:29] Well im out of ideas, you could always grab the drivers from a windows computer... [05:29] good luck! [05:30] peepingtom: thanks for your help [05:32] How do I check the dependencies of a build? [05:32] a build of what? [05:32] Blender [05:33] IdleOne: /var/lib/spamassassin/ does not exist. '~$ locate spamd.log' does not produce any output. I have installed SpamAssassin in Evolution. [05:33] trying to build the latest svn version [05:33] bullgard4: I am not sure where the logs are kept, you could try /var/log/spamassassin and /var/log/mail.log [05:34] Chaorain: You can 1) Check to see what deps are listed in the source, typically in a README or INSTALL file 2) Check on their website for a build page 3) Just start building it and see where it fails (typically the configure stage can hint as to what you need) [05:34] Does anyone have an idea how to bypass error 0x80040707 (in windows it suggests unchecking 'Protect My Computer And Data From Unauthorized Activity') in wine? [05:35] soreau: thanks [05:35] deexannihilate: have you tried asking #winehq? [05:35] idleone: no, i'll try that thank you [05:36] is there something special i have to run for the system to see the new fonts in my .fonts folder? [05:36] soreau: THANK YOU!!!! [05:36] Marcus: Welcome back [05:36] hey guys I filed a bug report for my problem with Pulse audio getting messed up by alsa, they've requested I post the Pulse Audio log but I don't know where Id find it. "Could you please log pulseaudio's output, as explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Pulseaudio/Log and attach the log to the bug when done?" but that URL doesn't work [05:36] it says page doesn't exist [05:36] sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor [05:36] so where do I get the pulse audio log? [05:36] soreau: Drivers all back to normal. Thank you so much my friend. [05:37] Marcus: No problem [05:37] Marcus: On a side note, you don't need fglrx to have 3D accel unless you're using an HD5xxxx card [05:37] soreau: I felt like crap for at least 6 hours trying to get it to reboot. You've saved me a lot of worry. Thanks again, you too MaRk-I. [05:37] Chaorain: you could also get the build deps for the package in the repository. This should get most of them for your custom build: apt-get build-dep blender [05:38] soreau: I'm using a HD4xxx card [05:38] soreau: I'll be much more careful on what I delete from now on. By the way, what do you suggest for a good backup program for Ubuntu? [05:38] Marcus: In that case, you can use the radeon driver (by uninstalling fglrx). Also you can get better radeon driver code by installing a later kernel (like 2.6.34) and userspace components from xorg-edgers repo [05:39] I've installed the latest radeon drivers manually. 10.6 [05:39] soreau: I've installed the latest radeon drivers manually. 10.6 [05:39] soreau: they work great, and some of my windows games work now. :-) [05:40] IdleOne: /var/log/spamassassin/ does not exist. -- Synaptic: "Included in the DEB program package »spamassassin« is a daemonized form of spamassassin (spamd) which communicates with its client (spamc) via TCP, to reduce the overhead of loading perl with each message. To take advantage of this, you must install the spamc package. {The package spamc is installed.}. In /var/log/mail.log I find... [05:40] ...for example: [05:40] Marcus: Really? So you're not using fglrx anymore? [05:40] does anyone here know how to create a expanding truecrypt partition [05:40] Marcus: 10.6 sure sounds like an fglrx driver (completely different from the open sourced radeon driver) [05:40] soreau: you seem to be old hat at this stuff. I'm a newbie from Windows after 20 years of being a windows guy, I finally had enough and I'll never go back. Any books or suggestions on what I should learn now? [05:41] bullgard4: perhaps man spamd will have more info. I don't use spamassassin. [05:41] seriously guys, how do I get the pulse audio log? [05:41] soreau: actually it might be. Yeah I think it is. How do I upgrade to the newest kernel and default radeon drivers? [05:41] i can't find it in /var/logs [05:42] IdleOne: "spamd: got connection over /home/detlef/.evolution/cache/tmp/spamd-socket-path-1Ad4ZS; spamd: checking message <20100717211753.673490bf@T3M4> for detlef:1000; spamd: clean message (-0.7/5.0) for detlef:1000 in 0.4 seconds, 3497 bytes." May I conclude that my SpamAssassin is functional? [05:42] Marcus: First you'd uninstall 10.6 fglrx driver. Then you'd grab the three 2.6.34 deb packages and then install xorg-edgers repo [05:42] Marcus: run grub-update so it finds the new kernel and done. [05:42] bullgard4: that looks like it is working [05:42] soreau: where do I get the debs? and I know how to uninstall the fglrx drivers, its simple, and then do I copy back the xorg.conf.original to xorg.conf? [05:43] IdleOne: Thank you very much for your help. [05:43] bullgard4: welcome [05:43] Marcus: For open drivers and recent versions of X, you do not need an xorg.conf [05:43] anyone know of a simple way to boot to a different virtual terminal instead of 7? [05:43] soreau: ok, cool. So what should I type to get rid of all that stuff? :-) [05:44] i added the text command to the boot options and it kinda works, just seeing if there are any better methods [05:44] i added fonts to my .font folder and restarted gimp, but those fonts are not avialable in gimp [05:44] Marcus: Here are the 2.6.34 debs http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/ You download three packages. Two are obvious, for your arch (amd64 or i686/x86) and the headers-all package then install then in the right order [05:44] am i missing a step [05:44] ? [05:45] hey all wonder if anyone can help trying to a aspire jar file to eclipse and i keep getting an error about the unsatisfiedlinkerror any idea how to update the build path i added it in properties but then i am supposed to add the native library into the library path but have no idea how to do so [05:45] *add [05:45] makaveli0129: If there's a #eclipse channel, I'd try asking there [05:46] Hey guys, so I finally got ubuntu installed and running, and now I've got a graphics issue... I installed it using the onboard Intel video, but I want to run a dual monitor setup with the PCI Nvidia, so I installed the Nvidia drivers and now I'm getting a graphics error on boot: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. (EE) No devices detected" What do I need to do to fix this? [05:46] soreau: I'm amd64 - download linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_amd64.deb, linux-image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_amd64.deb, and linux-source-2.6.34_2.6.34-020634_all.deb [05:46] soreau: what order is the install? [05:46] soreau: image, headers, source [05:47] Marcus: You will already know when you go to install them because it wont let you install in the wrong order. I think it's headers-all, headers-yourarch and finally the kernel [05:47] Marcus: No, you don't need the source package [05:47] does anyone know? [05:47] soreau: lol <--- I'm a newb. [05:48] Marcus: headers-all, headers-, kernel- [05:48] how can i add fonts to my system so that gimp can use them? [05:48] soreau: the kernel package doesn't depend the headers, so it doesn't matter where you put that, but yeah, you need -all before the architecture-specific package [05:49] rww: ok thanks, I was just going from memory ;) [05:49] soreau: thanks. rww: thanks [05:49] soreau: kernel=image [05:49] ? [05:49] Yes [05:49] :-) [05:49] Marcus: The most important thing is to get rid of fglrx completely before installing xorg-edgers repo [05:49] soreau: Do I need to add a source to my source list? [05:50] Marcus: yes, you need xorg-edgers (google it) [05:50] soreau: ok cool. How do I get rid of xorg, or is that already done? === pro7ron is now known as Winner_ [05:51] Marcus: If you used jockey-gtk to install fglrx and no other method, then you should be able to use the same method to remove them (sys>admin>hw drivers) [05:51] Marcus: I *think* it should rm the xorg.conf too, but better check to be sure it did it right [05:51] Okay if I switch the primary video adapter to the PCI in the BIOS, I get a bunch of errors... [05:51] hi all, i my fingers just got out of control form the keyboard and by mistake i pressed some weird key or combination or what and now in my pidgin i do not have the keyboard cursor showing. Is there any way to get it back again ??? [05:52] I'm changing ownership of /var/run/mysqld to mysql:mysql and then after rebooting it's mysql:root...anyone know what could be modifying this? [05:52] and I know it changed successfully because I checked before rebooting [05:52] soreau: I didn't I used the .run package for radeon. === Winner_ is now known as pro7ron [05:53] soreau: but I know how to remove it properly [05:53] Marcus: You need to understand that 'radeon' is the open driver. Fglrx is the proprietary one [05:53] soreau: Do I need all the packages on xorg-edgers fresh? [05:53] Marcus: Just go where it tells you how to break your X ;) [05:54] Marcus: something like this: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [05:55] I installed ubuntu using the onboard Intel video, but I want to run a dual monitor setup with the PCI Nvidia, so I installed the Nvidia drivers and now I'm getting a graphics error on boot: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. (EE) No devices detected" What do I need to do to fix this? [05:55] Marcus: That should get you all the latest radeon driver userspace bits (the rest are in the kernel) [05:55] anybody please tell [05:56] A-Non: Do you not have an AGP or PCI-E slot? Did you check that the nvidia driver actually supports PCI cards? [05:56] busco español [05:56] soreau: thats awesome, thanks for the walkthrough. I'll install the debs, and the packages and if I survive, I'll come back and tell you how it goes. [05:57] LOL [05:57] soreau: No I don't... I didn't check, I just assumed it would D: [05:57] soreau: thanks again man. [05:58] español [05:58] spain [05:58] Marcus: Please before you reboot, doublt check everything. Make sure 'dpkg -l|grep fglrx' shows no packages with 'ii' next to them 2) /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist 3) That you've ran 'sudo update-grub' and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file shows the new kernel entry [05:59] Marcus: sudo update-grub *after* installing the new kernel [05:59] lubb [05:59] ! es | harrytuxito [05:59] harrytuxito: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[06:00] Marcus: And the modalias fglrx are fine to still have installed [06:00] hi, does anybody know if there is a good and reliable motherboard to use with a amd phenom, but compatible with linux? or should i buy an intel motherboard with a i7? [06:00] Gardevoir: ask in ##hardware for starters IMO [06:00] tnxs [06:02] soreau: got all your notes bud. Off to do some damage. Thanks. [06:02] Okay I reverted to the default configuration and now it boots fine, but I'd really like to get the dual monitors running with the default being the nvidia, could someone help me do that? [06:02] Marcus: Now that's the spirit! :D [06:02] I switched to 'dwm' on the login screen, but now can't find the command to switch back to the default window manager. Help? :D [06:02] soreau: lol, :-p [06:02] The mouse disappeared D: [06:02] I can't login to phpmyadmin, not sure how.. [06:03] In fact, I think it's more than the window manager that got changed... When I reboot, I don't see the default gnome login screen. :( [06:04] hi [06:04] How do I go back from dwm to the default? [06:04] how do I download updates/changes using git? [06:05] ShapeShifter499: git pull [06:05] Zeiris: Did you change it via .xinitrc? [06:05] How do I determine if the Nvidia proprietary drivers support my card? [06:05] ibnarrashid, no, I selected it via a drop-down menu in the default login screen. And that was the last time I saw that login screen :[ [06:06] Jordan_U: ah, thanks [06:06] ShapeShifter499: You're welcome. [06:06] why is it that an sftp chroot needs the dir to be root owned? [06:07] anybody tried filezilla 3 in ubuntu lucid? got error connecting to server. filezilla always return "Response: 331 Give any password." even if i entered correct password [06:07] A-Non: Use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, if a driver is offered there then your card is supported by that driver. [06:07] Jordan_U: git reset --hard master && git clean -fd && git pull ;) [06:08] To start mysql is this command right ? " sudo mysql start " [06:08] soreau: Not everyone names their main branch master :) [06:08] Jordan_U that's what I've done, but I kept booting into low graphics mode or whatever [06:08] What's the name of the default ubuntu desktop system/window manager? [06:08] sharif: the client or the server? [06:08] the server [06:09] sudo service mysql start [06:09] Is it gdm or kdm? [06:09] Zeiris: I am not 100% sure on this, but you could try manually starting gdm and changing it there [06:09] It's showing as already started. (If it is indeed gdm.) [06:09] Zeiris: gdm [06:10] Jordan_U: Touche! xD === Guest71059 is now known as darkjoker [06:10] thank you [06:10] Zeiris: go "Ctrl-Alt-F1" to tty1, command "sudo gdm" [06:11] The gdm service is already running (sudo start gdm) and sudo gdm errors out due to not acquiring org.gnome.DisplayManager. [06:12] Zeiris: You can also do sudo "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" to kill then run the same command with replacin stop with start or "sudo gdm" [06:12] I've restored original state: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" seems to be what did it. [06:12] how do I make gnome-shell default window-manger in ubuntu 10.04? thanks in advance [06:12] Wait. [06:12] No, no I didn't :( [06:12] what's the safest way to install a cd drive? [06:13] deexannihilate1: The right way. [06:13] soreau: which is? i can't find anything in google. maybe i'm not typing it correctly. i really suck at this. :( [06:14] Spirits-Sight: gnome-shell requires gnome3 which I do not think ubuntu has in repos yet [06:14] deexannihilate1: What do you mean? I've never heard of a CD drive you had to install. [06:14] Do you mean literally install into hardware? [06:14] How To restart mysql ? [06:14] deexannihilate1: Do you mean install software from a CD? [06:14] does anyone here use truecrypt ? [06:14] sharif: sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld restart [06:14] Like you want to put the drive into your system and it's currently sitting in a box? [06:14] iyunkateus: I mean, I can't find the driver for it online. And the last time I plugged it in, the entire system crashed. [06:15] deexannihilate1: Ok, best thing to do is explain 1) What the problem is, with as much reasonable relevant detail 2) Explain what you've tried 3) Explain what is not working exactly [06:15] soreau: I am using it right now I just don't know how to turn it on by default only know through term [06:15] deexannihilate1: is it an external CD drive? [06:15] Okay. 'gdm' is running, and 'gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager' shows 'compiz' as my window manager. [06:15] It gave me error : sudo: /etc/init.d/mysqld: command not found [06:15] So the the hell am I seeing dwm-5.6? [06:15] phlak_user: internal [06:15] Spirits-Sight: In that case, can't you just add it to startup applications in sys>prefs>? [06:15] How to check whether laptop's WIFI antenna is ON or OFF? [06:16] deexannihilate1: unless its a SCSI drive, you normally dont require a driver; almost all CD drives bought in the last 3 years are supported natively in Linux/Ubuntu [06:16] heoa: If you have a wifi interface in the output of 'iwconfig', then use 'iwlist scan|grep -i ssid' [06:17] Hello guys! I gonna install windows 7 now i have ubuntu. Will be grub still working after installing windows 7? [06:17] heoa: antennas are passive devices, they cant be turned on or off; the radio can be checked [06:17] it is the original cd drive that came with the computer. it was unplugged because it would not allow the dvd drive to work. a few weeks ago, I plugged it back in and the entire system crashed. I recently reinstalled ubuntu but forgot to plug in the cd drive but now I'm afraid to just plug it in incase the same thing happens [06:17] Zeiris: gdm is the display manager, you need to restart it and change the session back to Gnome instead of dwm [06:17] Catzz: nope [06:17] phlak_user: it's probably 10 years old [06:17] ! grub2 | Catzz [06:17] Catzz: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:17] deexannihilate1: even the PC? [06:17] but can i some how edit it? [06:18] Zeiris: did you fo to tty1 and try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" and then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"? [06:18] Catzz: not sure, ask in #windows (my guess is probably not) [06:18] deexannihilate1: can you check what make/model it is? older drives had jumper settings that you could set for "master", "slave", "CS" etc etc [06:18] hello!!!

[06:19] The one way to set the window manager I've found, shows my window manager as 'compiz'... So it's something up the chain from 'window manager', but below 'gdm'.

[06:40] opij: I don't see why not, it's pretty much the same functionality and empathy is officially supported [06:40] phlak_user: i am, i logged in as root (ssh) with key auth [06:40] Can someone help me with getting my Nvidia working in Ubuntu? [06:40] iyunkateus: not true. empathy doesnt have plugins [06:40] opij: can you tell me how you got to the screen you took a screenshot of? [06:41] Why does my .dmrc file keep getting overwritten??? [06:41] !details | A-Non [06:41] A-Non: 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 ..." [06:41] FOCer: i mean, is the server that you've logged in running Ubuntu? [06:41] iyunkateus: like i said, all i did was click add buddy [06:41] A-Non there are some videos on Youtube how to make it work [06:41] Flannel: Thanks! That's what I suspected, but I commented out the line in sshd.conf "Subsystem sftp ..." and restarted ssh, but I am still able to connect. Any ideas? Did I do that correctly? [06:41] phlak_user: yes, http://pastebin.com/jCS14cZN [06:41] Hey, I'm having trouble installing alien, something to do with man-db [06:42] AntonioX the PC I'm currently typing from cannot use youtube, and I don't have flash on the Ubuntu machine [06:42] opij: well, I clicked add buddy and it showed the normal form for me, I'm not sure what's going on with you [06:43] adamonline45: You restarted sshd, I assume you mean? [06:43] I have a problem with my video card Intel GMA 3150 I need to re-install the video drivers I am Using UBUNTU 10.4 [06:43] how do i get this **** off my computer [06:43] can anyone help me with my grub recovery? [06:43] Flannel: Actually I tried that first, but it says 'sshd: command not found.' [06:43] opij: you're going to have to be more specific than that [06:44] As for details, I set the primary adapter in the bios to onboard intel when I installed, however I want to use the Nvidia 5500 as the primary adapter. I installed the nvidia drivers, but when I set the primary adapter to PCI in the bios, I get a ton of error messages and it never boots. [06:44] adamonline45: How did you restart ssh (what command) [06:44] FOCer: ok, what do you get when you type in service mysql start ? [06:44] iyunkateus: i uninstalled ubuntu one and its still coming up every time i try to add a buddy [06:44] jon5000' unix tool box, google that, has a good grub recovery section [06:44] opij: sudo apt-get remove pidgin [06:44] phlak_user: it hangs just like the other command [06:44] !danger [06:44] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [06:45] has anyone been able to make a bootable usb from the netbook image using startup disk creator? [06:45] Flannel: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [06:45] ops [06:45] jamiewan, I have to do this from windows. i cannot get into ubuntu [06:45] phlak_user is giving me malicious commands [06:45] opij: you asked how to remove pidgin, i gave you the command; whats malicious about that? [06:45] opij: why don't you like pidgin? [06:46] adamonline45: Alright, that's the correct method (and that does restart sshd). And commenting out that line is also the correct method. Try stopping, then starting, not 'restart'ing [06:46] and yes, that would be the way to uninstall pidgin [06:46] opij: and you're growing use of profanity doesnt help [06:46] jon5000' hmmm i walked away from windows long ago cant help [06:46] Zeiris: did you try changing the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file? You could leave the display manager bit empty, which should cause you to start in the console, and do what is described here: http://superuser.com/questions/89942/ubuntu-9-10-gnome-session-not-starting-automatically [06:46] FOCer: when you say hang, what does it mean? [06:47] iyunkateus: are you there? [06:47] opij: yeah [06:47] i would like to change login screen theme but i don't find nowhere to do that [06:47] I set the primary adapter in the bios to onboard intel when I installed ubuntu 10.04, however I want to use the Nvidia 5500 as the primary adapter. I installed the nvidia drivers, but when I set the primary adapter to PCI in the bios, I get a ton of error messages and it never boots. Can anyone tell me what to do? [06:47] iyunkateus: what do you recommend doing? [06:47] Flannel: Nope, I can still get in... This is weird... [06:47] opij: I don't think I can help you, I don't see how to get to that screen [06:48] mintux' system, administration, login screen [06:48] Whenever I open a new tab in Midori (with "Show speed-dial in new tabs" turned on) the address bar is populated with "res:/" how can I fix this? [06:48] opij: maybe join #pidgin [06:48] opij: they might be able to help you [06:49] phlak_user: there's no stdout or stderr, nothing in the log either [06:49] iyunkateus: ive tried [06:49] ibnarrashid, so the solution to GDM not using the right desktop manager, is to stop using GDM? :\ Uninstalling and reinstalling GDM would probably fix things, but it sounds a bit extreme. [06:49] Flannel: My main concern is that sftp isn't chrooted, so I want to disable it. Maybe I'd have better luck learning how to chroot it :) Though I still have the sneaky suspicion sshd isn't the active daemon... [06:49] jamiewan: i checked out before . but no where for change theme i have this http://up.iranblog.com/Files1/715566def4894dfd9fea.png [06:49] mintux: apt-get install startupmanager, that app has a few more options too I think [06:49] ok [06:49] ill try it [06:49] I have a problem with my video card Intel GMA 3150 I need to re-install the video drivers I am Using UBUNTU 10.4 [06:49] adamonline45: Are you sure you're connecting to the correct box? (This is obvious, but it's surprising how often simple things like this are the issue) [06:50] adamonline45: If you have more-than-just-SSH access, try shutting off ssh (not restarting it) and then trying to ssh in. [06:50] can anyone help me boot into linux partition from a pen drive that has 500mb? [06:50] FOCer: here is the symptom you described and the probable solution --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475798 [06:50] phlak_user: tried that already [06:50] Zeiris: It's a last resort the initial idea, reinstalling shouldn't be a big deal if it works, you might be able to find other methods, I can't think of any right now, if you are hesitant, do so if you really can't find any other method [06:51] phlak_user: the only way i can get it to run is using "sudo -u mysql /usr/sbin/mysqld &" [06:51] Flannel: Unfortunately this box is headless. And yeah, I double checked at your request that I'm on the right machine :) [06:51] FOCer: doesnt that change in /etc/init/mysql.conf work?

[06:52] noisewaterphd: it's not for login screen.it mange boot appearance and splash screen . i remember i have many option for change them of login screen but what does it remove from ubuntu 9.08 [06:52] FOCer: did you try logging in as the mysql user and starting the mysqld daemon like they suggest? [06:53] mintux: my bad [06:53] hello [06:53] Zeiris: You already did try to use dwm, which could be called extreme in itself === oMg_iTz_eX is now known as ExcruciationX [06:54] ibnarrashid, I thought it was xmonad, and it took me a few minutes to realize it wasn't :( [06:54] should ~/.ICEauthority be owned by $USER or root? [06:54] FOCer: per this link --> http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg35740.html running mysqld as user mysql is the solution [06:54] Okay I have my Nvidia working, how do I get the second monitor which is attached to the onboard intel graphics adapter to function? [06:55] Kartagis: user. It sometimes gets set to be owned by root if you use sudo for graphical programs (you should use gksu or kdesu for graphical programs) [06:55] ok simple question, anyone know if BoI Servers are down? [06:55] I have a problem with my video card Intel GMA 3150 I need to re-install the video drivers I am Using UBUNTU 10.4 [06:55] Flannel thank you [06:55] <^Jay2^> is the ubuntu server free? [06:55] A-Non: I don't think you can use a card and integrated @ the same time, it's a hardware not a software thing [06:56] phlak_user: does this mean that i need to adjust the upstart script? [06:56] I could be wrong though, so double check [06:56] Zeiris: there is a whole gdm shadow configuration world that i barely understand in /var/cache/gdm and /var/lib/gdm/.* It is possible that you could "stop gdm" in terminal. purge and reinstall gdm, and start gdm again. [06:56] Zeiris: dwm in't all that hard to use, if you are okay with using tiling WMs, I used it for some time, then switched to openbox for the moment, using .xinitrc is actually a very easy method to starting sessions [06:56] noisewaterphd: I've done this in Windows XP before, so if I couldn't do it in ubuntu that would be a software limitation would it not? [06:56] How can I configure Belkin F7D1101 to connect wirelessly through network manager to a Mifi2200? The driver for the Belkin is both installed (recognized as installed and present according to ndiswrapper.)

[06:58] I'm all for switching window managers to try something new, but I'd like a fallback option. The fact that merely selecting a drop down box on the login screen, irrepairably fucked things up with no visible means to return to a previous state (short of reinstalling, which may eat configurations) is a little scary. [06:58] phlak_user: I plugged in the CD Drive restarted and the computer didn't go crazy. :) [06:58] deexannihilate: good for you! [06:58] I am wondering if it is a problem with the permissions set up on the windows machine, or if it is a problem with my ubuntu (e.g samba not being installed/configured properly). [06:58] A-Non: look through /var/log/dmesg after booting as you described. It may give you a clue as to what teh hang up is.

[07:09] sebsebseb: cheosite: i believe you and its been a long time since i used dreamweaver, but if one doesn't need ALL the features of dw, maybe one of the alternatives would work decently.

"lspci" and then which one is it??? [07:13] nUboon2Age: cheosite sure, but after a bit of setting up I think for later versions. [07:13] ibnarrashid, nope, looking at various pages about the gnome startup process now. The .dmrc file you mentioned is on the right track, and according to many pages -should- set the desktop manager/session (these seem to be synonyms), there's just some piece of the puzzle missing. Something to do with it getting overwritten depending on which user logs in, or something. [07:13] i hope it will run normally [07:13] FOCer: or whatever the verbose option is, I could be imagining -v [07:13] cheosite: well try [07:14] cheosite: if you need to configure a bit #winehq can probably help [07:14] cheosite: also this might be useful, but in my expereince the appdb info for programs is useualy outdated [07:14] !appdb | cheosite [07:14] cheosite: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [07:14] sebsebseb: Thank you for sharing your experience with me and cheosite. :D [07:14] nUboon2Age: my expereince? [07:14] sebsebseb: its appreciated... cheosite [07:15] AntonioX lsmod will tell you what the driver is [07:15] Perhaps my problem is not directly related to dwm, but has to do with a bugged Gnome login screen which results in the dwm. [07:15] sebsebseb: knowledge/experience [07:15] nUboon2Age: I got the old Macromedia MX 2004 Studio with Flash pro, I think I did try to Wine that at some stage, don't really remember now [07:15] noisewaterphd: phlak_user: i could have swear it wasn't working. and now it started at reboot [07:15] FOCer: lol [07:15] nUboon2Age: however Photshop CS3 for example, I think people have to configure and programs like that, before they work properly in Wine [07:15] AntonioX lsmod | grep intel* [07:15] FOCer: cool [07:15] What controls auto-login in Ubuntu? I'm automatically logged in as a user, whereas before I had a login screen where I could choose various options and had to enter a password. [07:16] phlak_user: maybe it need a couple of reboots after the changes [07:16] how can i kill process that can't kill with kill -9 [07:16] FOCer: so, do the upstart commands work? [07:16] Kartagis OK let me try it [07:16] Thank YOU [07:16] phlak_user: i reverted to back to original, so it seems to work [07:16] phlak_user: almost cost me my hair, LOL [07:16] yunintegral: its probably getting spawned by some other process; check and kill that [07:16] FOCer: great [07:16] Running 'gdmsetup' in console pops up the window I'm after... But I cannot "unlock" it, probably due to modal dialog not being able to show up in dwm. [07:17] Running with sudo, naturally, shows me the wrong settings... [07:17] sebsebseb: cheosite: some of the macromedia/adobe stuff is java based, and i was able to get that running, no prob. [07:17] thanks phlak_user and noisewaterphd [07:17] phlak_user, you mean,, kill the parent process? [07:17] yunintegral: yes [07:17] Zeiris: I am not on Ubuntu right now, since another distro :), however there should be something for it under system > preferences or system > administration [07:17] any guess why the touchpad might suddenly stop working? [07:17] yunintegral: but that could also cause it to become a zombie [07:18] sebsebseb, sorry, I should've said: how do I configure it from the console or text editor :) [07:18] tensorpudding: you might have pressed the disable touchpad button [07:18] D: I just rebooted and got a bunch of "EXT4-fs error"s [07:18] I hit the disable button it seems, then re-enabled it, and it wouldn't work [07:18] phlak_user, can i kill the zombie porcess too? [07:18] I rebooted, and it is still not working. [07:19] yunintegral: theres a reason its called a zombie! [07:19] "EXT4-fs error (device sda1): ext4_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 2371775" can anyone give me some insight as to what this means? [07:19] phlak_user, so. i can't kill the zombie? [07:19] Zeiris: that would be /etc/X11/defaullt-display-manager, which controls which session starts [07:20] yunintegral: you'll know if the're zombies using this --> ps aux | awk '{ print $8 " " $2 }' | grep -w Z [07:20] thank you. [07:20] Kartagis I do not see a video Intel Video Driver [07:20] ibnarrashid, that controls which desktop environment starts. Within that environment, a "desktop manager"/session (I'm 90% sure the two are synonyms) is started, and then a "window manager". [07:20] I have a quick question about installation. Is the user name and password that I create during installation my root account? If so, should create another account and use that instead?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:21] AntonioX that's it [07:21] n00b1: there is no root account log in.. it is run through the terminal [07:21] n00b1: * accessed through the terminal [07:21] AntonioX snd_hda_intel [07:21] I'm editing (well,copying backups) stuff in /etc/gdm now to try and resolve the problem.

[07:22] AntonioX I'm AFK now [07:22] WOW [07:22] oh ok, thanks guys. [07:22] what is AFK? [07:22] seektherapy: how much is it now?

Now when I am trying to run using the following command I am getting - "FinishedVerify: Not enough resources (VmTypeAvailability{type=VmType{name='m1.large', cpu=2, disk=10, mem=512}, max=0, available=0} < 1: vm instances" [07:23] Command is - euca-run-instances -a pub-key -s private-key -t m1.large emi-IMG_NO [07:23] I have also noted that giving any instance type gives the same error.

[07:23] imyousuf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:23] Kartagis I am getting this "E: Couldn't find package snd_hda_intel" [07:24] it is most disagreeable, these bugs that I've encountered since going to ubuntu [07:24] n00b1: your welcome :) [07:24] I'm assuming that it is some stupid configuration in my $HOME, since it only manifests after I log in [07:25] My main desktop lacks desktop compositing (due to xinerama), and I was curious whether there is still some way to get around the lack of double buffering (ergo, flickering of conky) so that Conky functions semi-normally -- Any ideas? [07:26] is there some configuration in gnome or elsewhere that could break the touchpad? [07:26] Kartagis by any chance would you know how to restore an old driver that I had before this mess [07:26] HAHAHA VICTORY! /etc/gdm had a custom.conf that auto-logged me in as a user, bypassing the logon prompt. Restoring that to a backup copy (thank god there was a gdm.conf.dpkg-backup in there!) has restored the login prompt, allowing me to select Gnome instead of dwm again. I still have no idea what mechanism/config file determines what gets written into ~/.dmrc, but I've got my "plan B" desktop+window manager working again.

[07:26] Why does Wine reject all files I try to open claiming them non-executable? [07:27] Zeiris: ok :) ,but what is dwm ? [07:27] It's been an exciting 2 hour dive into the Ubuntu UI stack... Thanks, ibnarrashid, for providing some very useful tips in the process :) [07:27] Zeiris: some not so popular window manager? [07:27] sebsebseb, it's a pretty nice window manager, seems to be a much lighter (written in C) but much simpler/less customizeable version of XMonad. [07:27] Zeiris: oh ok :) [07:28] It's also a desktop manager. Or "session", I'm still not 100% sure on Gnome terminology for it. [07:28] Zeiris: Desktop manager is when its more than just a GUI [07:28] Zeiris: apps as well [07:28] Apps being the task bar, stuff on the task bar, menus and icons, etcetera? [07:29] Zeiris: no [07:29] Zeiris: i noticed dwm only installs 12 files, half of which are documentation. [07:29] Zeiris: apps being like gedit for Gnome :D or Konqueror for KDE. you know how Gnome and KDE come with a load of stuff? well thats since they are desktop environments [07:29] DWM is ultra minimalist, the only way to configure it is by recompiling [07:29] ibnarrashid: oh [07:30] ipnet set help me [07:30] Back on ubuntu after core unlocking... [07:30] Win7 didn't like it I guess [07:31] Why might the touchpad work in the login chooser but not after logging in?

[07:54] Hi, I have working kubuntu installation and want to install new instance (kubuntu 10.04 LTS) on a second drive. Is it possible without booting from kubuntu CD (or anything else)?

[08:00] I use lsusb and get this information Bus 002 Device 003: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem [08:00] Jordan_U: so it is possible? I am thinking like through an emulator or something? [08:02] xshyamx: basically you just have to make a .desktop entry for you app in /usr/share/applications/ . I'm not quite clear how to point it to your icon. [08:02] is KDevelop called something else in the repository? Only thing i find are kdevplatform-* dev/debug/shared and not the main program itself...

I had to dd the data to another drive and that drive just happens to be on a RAID1. I'm having an awful time trying to get it to boot. it goes into initramfs each time saying /dev/md0 doesn't exist even though it does exist in /dev. It also won't let me mount it.

[09:00] violinappren: in netstat -rn, there's no static route outputs, just the default one and the 169 entry [09:00] robertzaccour: Try 'jscal /dev/input/js0' [09:02] soreau: command not found [09:02] soreau: i got it i typed it in wrong sorry [09:02] soreau: gonna pastebin it brb [09:02] i have a question, in order to use git clone, do you first need to use ssh into the server?

(Keyboard is Datahand pro ii - pretends to be generic 105 intl) [09:34] In xubuntu I used xmodmap to get the key to work, and then I could setup shortcuts with it, no problem.

[09:48] Gla: can't your nfs mount program on xp "emulate" what user id it's saying you have?

[10:07] Hey, I've got a bad xorg.conf - GDM/X keeps restarting without end... and I can't get in to grub (no menu comes up)... so what am I supposed to do?

I'm having trouble with a USB microphone. It's a nicer, $100+ one from Audio Technica. (AT2020) It has a bright blue LED built in, that should be on while it is plugged in to the computer and is ready to be used. When I plug in the microphone, the LED comes on for about 2-3 second and then fades off, like it suddenly lost power (normally when the LED turns off it's quick, like a lightswitch) which makes me think that the [10:54] USB bus is not detecting the device (or maybe decided that it's not supported? dunno) and so drops the connection. Any help would be appreciated [10:54] hay alguien?

[11:00] erUSUL: that page says that 11n will not work whereas AdvoWork seems to have an 11n chip [11:01] AdvoWork: did you try the wl module yet? [11:01] so im assuming that references: 14e4:4315 supported 2.6.33 and later (PIO mode) BCM4312 b/g LP b43 so what would i have to do to get it working,or can i just not? [11:01] phlak_user, i may have done, tried a few things now, was it on that link you pasted? [11:01] phlak_user: obviously althought the driver tries to "drive" the chip it is very buggy so trying the sta from boradcom may be better [11:02] erUSUL: you're right, using fwcutter is not recommended [11:02] how do i make the first frame a keyframe [11:03] phlak_user, erUSUL: in hardware drivers, it says im using broadcom sta proprietry wireless driver(but it wont show any wireless connections) the other driver i used before, showed them, but neither connect [11:04] jaonmchristos: researching [11:04] hi guys [11:05] do you know how can I get the chat list with quassel?

[11:16] erUSUL: yeah, I've tried different ports, different cables... I'm thinking it might be hardware as well but it's an expensive mic and I"ve only used it a few times (owned it a little over a year or so) such a waste :( so I thought I'd try [11:16] do not upgrade by package manager or other stuff, do a clean install?

[11:17] appamajig: look what dmesg says when you plug it ? [11:17] hi i got problems installing ubuntu 904 on my laptop. try to use wubi, and ordinary installation. i also get the message that maybe the cd is broken, but thats the one i\m running from now. anyway i can install the files on a new cd witout downloading again_ [11:17] anodesni: maybe it has an option to play in a window rether than fullscreen [11:17] or is that impossible_ [11:18] erUSUL, it is, but I prefer fullscreen [11:18] this is going to sound stupid but how do I get Xchat to go into fullscreen mode? (if its even possible) [11:18] lorenzosu: make sure you dont format the home partition during the installation [11:18] phlak_user, yes that's a good point.... [11:18] anodesni: well you can't have your cake and eat it too [11:18] wc [11:19] phlak_user, If I set the mount point during installation will it try and format it automatically? [11:19] lorenzosu: also, you can later mount the home partition by tweaking /etc/fstab once installation is complete [11:19] lorenzosu: only if you select the format checkbox [11:19] erUSUL, windows does it too [11:19] erUSUL, I mean keeping the 4:3 ratio [11:20] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/MZuqMjbU [11:20] phlak_user, as for the former (mounting later) so I am able to install without setting the /home mountpoint during install [11:21] erUSUL: I didn't know about dmesg :) [11:22] appamajig: well those messages said nothing to me. maybe you can try in the linux-usb mailing list or something [11:22] lorenzosu: even if you dont set the mountpoint, the installer will create a /home directory by default. Make sure to first copy *everything* off it somewhere else, delete it and set the old partition as the new /home and then *copy* the contents of the backed-up new home into the newly mounted /home [11:22] erUSUL: I did a search for device descriptor read/64, error -71 and maybe found some stuff.

[15:17] TZ_noob: better search for software via system -> systemmanagemen -> synaptic [15:17] Raydiation1: that could be one aspect [15:17] TZ_noob: you can filter for packages in synaptic [15:17] TZ_noob: you can use commands like apt-cache policy python and apt-cache search python [15:18] Raydiation1: Thunderbird 3 [15:18] someone suggested i use PPA for that [15:18] TZ_noob: its in the official repos [15:18] TZ_noob: just do sudo apt-get install thunderbird [15:18] how can i get to the network connections in ubuntu [15:18] PerryArmstrong_chav: that's very strange [15:18] the icon on the panel is gone [15:19] Raydiation1: It's not in 9.04, which is what I am using...

[15:24] hello guy [15:24] Gibby: by mode you mean what? to force the clock not to change? [15:24] bigbrovar: i am sure its possible. perhaps you can edit the default profiles in some way [15:24] TZ_noob: take a look at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=jaunty [15:24] hi everyone [15:25] help me in this problem [15:25] PerryArmstrong_chav: what graphics card are you using?

[15:28] I'm going to read it [15:28] :) [15:28] dany_, a folder like /.ssh means hidden [15:28] Catachan: yes [15:28] Randy_ : yeah the frustrating part is the fact that there is no documentation on how to revert the change back systemwide for enterprise users. I mean seriously making me thing Ubuntu is just a toy project not something which should be taken seriously. At least that is how its handled. [15:28] having some issues with acrobat reader and google chrome on ubuntu [15:28] Oer: yes I know, but with ls -a [15:28] no output [15:28] erUSUL, thanks, that means something else must be wrong. [15:28] my comp won't boot any more. [15:29] Catachan: error msgs ? [15:29] when I click a hyperlink in adobe reader it's sending a malformed url to chrome, which is the default browser.

INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE" [15:30] bigbrovar: Ubuntu Server, just like Unix/BSD/etc... can operate in the same way you expect something like Solaris to operate [15:30] Catachan: that's from your bios... you are sure the boot disk (the one that have grub mbr) is ok ? === matti_ is now known as mint-user [15:31] PerryArmstrong: what graphics card do you have? [15:31] I have been able to access both the win 7 partition and the /boot partition via a live CD with out any problems what so ever. [15:31] bigbrovar: it may seem as though Ubuntu is only geared towards a decentralized network approach. this is only the case for the Desktop variant of Ubuntu because that is what is popular. [15:31] Catachan: check the bios devices boot order. [15:31] checked it. [15:31] what is the typical ntp server? [15:32] the /boot HDD is second only to USB and CD [15:32] Can someone pleases help me get my network settings back to default [15:32] hey guys I'm trying to connect my Windows 7 PC with my laptop which has ubuntu,using a cross over cable.How am I suppose to go about this ? [15:32] I can't connect to any wired connections right now [15:33] this looks like it: ntp - Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs [15:33] bigbrovar: you have lots of options, though. for example, you can create a PPA on launchpad for hosting a repository of settings specific for your network. It would be a large initial bit of work, but once its working right should be pretty easy. Furthermore, using some very easy to use application creation tools, you could create a simple app for switching the Applications menu left/right whatever [15:33] hello all, I have a program I'd like to run at startup, but i'd like for it to run after a short delay (so that I am connected to the internet first). Does anyone know the flag I should put after the command in startup applications to do this? [15:33] Jinxed-, er what i do is right click on the network icon at the top and click on edit connections [15:34] randy_ : I do not doubt the potential of linux or ubuntu to perform well in enterprise. all the over 500 pcs in our school have been running hardy for 2 years now and so far its been solid. Just that the development path of ubuntu even the so called LTS is not enterprise friendly at all. Its developed like some personal toy project. considering lack of consistency [15:34] Jinxed-, then you can just delete the connection that you screwed up and usually ubuntu sets it all up automatically [15:36] bigbrovar: well, let me suggest that if you are not satisfied with the approach the Ubuntu community has taken towards development. for example, if you think we move too fast towards new technologies. then, perhaps you should move towards a more enterprise-geared distribution, like CentOS [15:36] no one can help me [15:36] !! [15:36] hello, I am attempting to get my sound working on an Asus netbook eee pc 900, I have followed many of the instructions from this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes ... I get to a point where it wants me to edit /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, but no file already exits, where can I find an example asound.state file??? [15:37] create it blank [15:37] mahioo: what's your problem [15:37] Kwpolska, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4177513/Menu_002.png [15:37] bigbrovar: I only read your last post (was afk) but have you considered some flavours of Unix'es instead of Linux. If you want enterprise oriented OS. [15:37] it tells me to change the "Capture Wsitch" from false to true [15:37] and I do not know if the syntax is simply Cature Switch = ture [15:38] true* [15:38] randy_ is there a way one can raise a concern about ubuntu and not be asked to take a hike? I mean seriously. I was just stating that it could be a bit more enterprise friendly especially with the LTS versions. geez === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [15:38] mahioo: what app is this [15:38] hello, where is the option to prevent pulseaudio from reloading automatically when killed ? [15:38] and is the icons really needed? [15:38] Kwpolska, inkscap [15:38] flupke: uninstall it [15:38] it also says there are "two 'false' statements [that I need] to [change to] 'true' [15:38] mahioo: then ask #inkscape or whoever knows something about inkscape [15:39] Kwpolska, I don't want to uninstall it, I want to kill it to adjust alsa levels [15:39] AEnima1577: install netbook remix [15:39] flupke: remove ~/.pulse [15:39] Kwpolska, do you have inkscap now in your pc [15:39] randy_ I came here to see if there was a way to move the windows button to the right. before upgrading out users from hardy to lucid. if u dont have any suggestion on that then let me be [15:39] bigbrovar: I would dearly love to know why you (or in what context) you perceive Ubuntu not to be enterprise friendly? [15:39] f@ngh0rn [15:39] bigbrovar: understand that we get a lot of people here that join the channel solely to bash on ubuntu. this is a support channel. if you have a question, we can help [15:39] mahioo: iirc, yes, but i have no ubuntu [15:39] Kwpolska, can you check if this problem is only in my pc [15:40] mahioo: I dunno where it is. [15:40] which menu is it. [15:40] Kwpolska, i was just looking for an example asound.state file... would prefer to try to hack at it instead of reinstalling [15:40] Kwpolska, removing a file to kill a daemon ? [15:40] do it blank [15:40] Kwpolska, can you check [15:40] flupke: yes [15:40] mahioo: which menu is it [15:40] Kwpolska, path [15:40] Kwpolska, it doesn't kill anything. [15:41] flupke: and THEN kill it [15:41] bigbrovar: a lot has already been written on how to move the window button, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/ [15:41] gracz: join #ubuntu-pl [15:41] hi :) [15:41] mahioo: I do have icons. [15:41] Kwpolska, are you polish? :) [15:41] but I use opensuse. [15:41] gracz: don't you see it? [15:41] Kwpolska, it still reload [15:41] randy_ I came here to ask a question not bash. and please tell me how I bashed ubuntu. did I say it sucked? or its crap? I just said LTS** i.e Lucid shipped with too many changes for an LTS. and it gives many of us who use ubuntu in an enterprise env headache. [15:41] #ubuntu-pl waits for you. [15:41] flupke: uninstall it, everyone knows that it sucks. [15:42] Dark_Star1: He's referring to the UI and having to retrain users every release. That costs $$$ and isn't "enterprise friendly." The term "enterprise friendly" (in this context) means the user experience is consistent across releases. The underlying technology can change, but the end user experience remains stable. (I'm not commenting on whether or not the change is a good idea because, frankly, I don't care. I'm commenting on what constitutes "enterpris [15:42] e friendly.") [15:42] Kwpolska, can you check also in gimp if you have [15:42] bigbrovar: there is what i got right away from a google search. considering that you are considering an enterprise deployment, you could implement this change in a custom LiveCD [15:42] mahioo: I do. [15:42] but I have opensuse, not ubuntu. [15:42] Kwpolska, ok [15:42] mahioo: try with another theme [15:42] bigbrovar: or, I should say, a custom build of the alternate CD. [15:42] Kwpolska, ok i try [15:43] Kwpolska, it may "suck" but at least it allows me to have more than one oss/broken alsa app playing at once [15:43] mahioo: use clearlooks [15:43] flupke: I dunno. when I kill it with sudo - I can use alsa-only. [15:44] I'm back. [15:45] Kwpolska, what do you mean with clearlooks [15:45] Kwpolska, ok, then if you don't know why do you give advice and rant about pulse sucking ? [15:45] mahioo: the clearlooks theme [15:45] No other thoughts then on the "missing" libmd5? What do people link with when they want to use an md5 lib in a C/C++ application? [15:45] flupke: I want to help you getting it out of your system [15:45] So I'm new to this chatroom and wholly unaware of any procedural norms here. I'm having trouble with both GNOME and LDAP (separate issues) that I'm seeking help on. Anyone? [15:45] I seem to have messed up evolution with exchange access and now I get a "Could not connect to Evolution Exchange backend process: Please restart Evolution" error [15:45] Kwpolska, ok [15:45] babzog: no idea, they maybe not adde dit [15:45] hi all [15:45] !ask | Malignus [15:45] Malignus: 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. :-) [15:45] Kwpolska, yes i try but the same problem [15:45] Malignus: juist ask in one line ( one issue at a time) [15:46] Kwpolska, thank you but I don't want too, it may be broken but still is the only viable solution for flash and oss apps I know off [15:46] Dark_Star1, well I feel LTS version of ubuntu which is what most enterprise use should be much more conservative. too many changes (moving the windows botton to the left, empathy as default (something which does not support proxy) and LTS should be much more conservative IMHO but really this is just my personal opinion. I came here to see if there was a way to move the buttons from left to right systemwide [15:46] es, yes, yes. [15:46] gdb: thanks for updating me. But other than the movement of the window buttons nothing much has changed for me. and if it's the case of UI. Can one not just create a UI theme and roll it out across clients? === Jinxed--- is now known as Jinxed- [15:46] are there download manager in linux like Internet Download Manager? [15:47] Kwpolska: much of the fail around pulseaudio was with broken drivers, many of which have been fixed in the last 2 years. some of the remaining fail was from proprietary applications (like skype and flash) abusing alsa's api in weird ways. things have changed a bit in 2 years. [15:47] alexbobP, i dont know about the inbuilt one.....but i didnt attach any graphic card [15:47] cheosite: kget? [15:47] Kwpolska, another advent !! [15:47] Can anyone help with my visual effects question? [15:47] On my Desktop version of Ubuntu (9.10), my iowait spikes for 90 - 120 seconds whenever I launch a terminal or nautilus. Nothing populates when I run sudo iotop -o while this occurs. What should I do? [15:48] Could someone help me get my wired connections working please... I tried the previous suggestion of deleteing them but they weren't added automatically then... then I tried to add them manually, but still no luck [15:48] mahioo: what? [15:48] #ubuntu [15:48] Kwpolska, for later reference, to prevent pulseaudio from spawning again, put "autospawn = no" in /etc/pulse/client.conf [15:48] use us english, rather than beitish engrish [15:48] flupke: thanks. [15:48] chrisitan: yes, you are at #ubuntu. [15:49] Kwpolska, do you have another solution !! [15:49] maco: can I use this command apt-get install kget? [15:49] Kwpolska: please don't make fun of others' english skills [15:49] cheosite: yes [15:49] randy_ I have done all that. we have a custom version of lucid. I had to make all the changes in a profile and move the config files of that profile to /etc/skel/ even then it still messed things up when upgrading existing users (we use an exported home dir on nfs) from hardy to lucid. their buttons shows up on the left and i would need to change it back to right.. one on one [15:49] Kwpolska: oh wait you meant british. there are no requirements for US v. UK [15:49] maco : thanks [15:49] bigbrovar: I see your point. And can agree with you from your perspective, however, aesthetics aside, it's the job of the admin once in a while to mitigate transition issues like these as they can be avoided. In the case of the buttons, You're right to come here, but with the standard defaults, It's up to you to create an install and roll it out. It need not cost money, just a little bit of time. [15:50] maco: okay, okay. === johnnyr_ is now known as johnnyr [15:50] mahioo: ask someone who cares about icons in apps? [15:50] or edit something in gedit? [15:50] randy_ which was why i wanted to know (not just how to change it back to the right) but how to make the changes permanent even if the user changes the theme. [15:51] bigbrovar: i would say that your best course of action at this point would be to find the .deb that actually implements the change. it should be one of the ubuntu specific deb's [15:51] gconf* [15:51] Kwpolska, thank you for help [15:51] mahioo: i'll search [15:52] Kwpolska, me too [15:52] No one? [15:52] bigbrovar: gconftool-2 --set “/apps/metacity/general/button_layout” --type string “:minimize,maximize,close” [15:52] I got a question about patching sources, like wine. If a patch succeeds at all but a few "hunks" then is the patch good or bad? [15:52] mahioo: that does look like what happens with a broken theme. if you dont mind resetting all your desktop settings though, renaming ~/.gconf is a quick way to start fresh [15:52] MaRk-I: I agree, thats the quick and easy method [15:52] ShapeShifter499: bad [15:53] mahioo: i found teh solution [15:53] Dark_Star1: thanks we actually have a custom roll out. which has all the changes we want. problem its hard to effect the change systemwide especially when u have existing users. the him dir of all our users is mounted on nfs so upgrading their desktop from hardy to lucid means there still retain their config files. the few users i upgraded had their button on the left :/ [15:53] bigbrovar: the key, i suppose, is finding from that deb source exactly how the ubuntu dev's did it, and just work in reverse from there. [15:54] Kwpolska, give me [15:55] mahioo: type this to terminal and press enter: gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons -t bool 1 [15:55] how would I make a patch work? [15:55] Okay, then. My next question is where might be the best location for LDAP documentation on Ubuntu Server 10.04. I use my laptop to ssh to the server and I'm not getting the configuration screen I'm told to expect from the manuals I've seen and that stops me in my tracks. [15:56] bigbrovar: Then it really isn't a question of Ubuntu being enterprise friendly, It's a question of it being admin friendly :) Afterall They don't pay us enough to suffer this cr*p once in a while :D [15:56] randy_ u know that is really not sustainable. it would be better there are documentations on which config files to edit. much better than having to maintain a package downstream [15:57] how can i synchronize a folder between my ubuntu server and my win7 laptop? [15:57] /var/www in particular [15:57] Dark_Star1, admin.. enterprise. whats the difference :p [15:57] bigbrovar: then, i think your problem lies with gnome... gnome documentation tends to be *not very good* in that area [15:57] bigbrovar: Personally I welcome the change. It gives me something to do. when things tun smoothly [15:58] maco: how would I make the patch work? [15:58] Dark_Star1, we sysads hate change :p [15:58] bigbrovar: forgive me for saying this, but perhaps your best bet would be asking in a gnome dev channel perhaps? i don't know [15:58] Kwpolska, thank you is worked [15:59] bigbrovar: One's a subtree of the hierachy of the other :) [15:59] Kwpolska, i think to this option is in interface tab in appearance [16:00] Kwpolska, but this tab is missing in ubuntu 10.04 [16:00] Am I missing something here or is being ignored to be expected? [16:01] ShapeShifter499: fix it. figure out why the context lines around those hunks dont match, and fix them [16:01] Kwpolska, do have an explain [16:01] does ubuntu configure itself automatically so that grub identifies the drives by their UUID? [16:01] mahioo: use this command [16:01] Computer: yes? [16:01] Kwpolska: thats awesome. [16:02] mahioo: yes? I didn't knew. [16:02] bigbrovar: Also Change is Good. Tell those annoying end users to spend an hour a day learning the new interface [16:02] I have it in my distro and it's here. [16:02] maco: ok... I'm a bit new, how would I undo the patch, if possible? [16:02] Kwpolska, thank you for help [16:03] so good I began to learning blender with 2.50 [16:03] ShapeShifter499: patch? do you mean update? [16:03] Kwpolska, :) [16:03] ShapeShifter499: patch -R to reverse the patch [16:03] mahioo: I personally don't like new ubuntus. [16:03] Dark_Star1, naa I would have to replace all their config files from the server :( [16:03] ShapeShifter499: its best to always use --dry-run when applying a patch, to see if any hunks will fail [16:03] Kwpolska, why [16:03] Kwpolska: no, what I'm trying to do is add usb function to wine through the usb patch [16:03] bigbrovar: use some script [16:04] hi all [16:04] mahioo: because of all their bloatware [16:04] maco: oh... [16:04] ShapeShifter499: what? [16:04] Kwpolska, yeah thats the idea [16:04] bigbrovar: You know it'd be easier if you admit to being a lazy sysad. You might get more sympathy votes that way :P [16:04] bigbrovar: yeah, i was thinking the same thing. the gconf-tool tip mentioned earlier + .bashrc or something [16:04] hi all [16:04] ShapeShifter499: you're going to need to be able to read a bit of code without running screaming to fix the patch. enough to go through and notice "hey, this hunk goes *here* and the patch thinks it has this line above it, but that line has since changed in thsi way, so if i tweak the patch to match that, it'll apply" [16:05] ShapeShifter499: note i didnt say *understand* code...just read through without running away ;-) [16:05] Kwpolska, what do you mean with bloatware [16:05] mahioo: all things that 1% users only use fully [16:06] execute cmd: micrchiptrack.exe mode -i 45A689/Z [16:06] they are: sound menu, shutdown/IM status menu, message inducator, etc, etc. [16:06] Kwpolska, mahioo: one person's bloat is another person's killer feature [16:06] 这什么意思啊 [16:06] !cn | jingwen [16:06] jingwen: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [16:06] maco: I think that all the improvements, that is "improvements" in new ubuntus are unneeded. [16:07] maco, explain more !! [16:07] Dark_Star1, randy_, I have the perfect setup in /etc/skels so new users wont have this problem. its the older users upgrading from hardy. I am thinking of overriding their config files with default configs which I created. that way users switching from lucid and hardy systems would have a UIfired experience [16:07] mahioo: ubuntu's been experimenting in the user interface design realm, trying to do the things that folks in the GNOME community never got around to doing design-wise. ripping pieces out, replacing them, tweaking, seeing how to make the desktop more usable and more useful. [16:07] maco: ok got it :) [16:08] mahioo: some people like some of the changes, all of the changes, or none of the changes. it's a matter of taste [16:08] maco: um if you just run make, does that change the main source files? [16:08] ShapeShifter499: it shouldnt modify in-place, no. it should build more files though [16:08] Hey all, I am using the newest ubuntu and I'm quite fond of it. However, how can I get JDK 5? It is for android deving. [16:09] Personally, I use upstream system look as a base. [16:09] Can anyone assist with rpc issue [16:09] Riemervdzee: maybe from sun's website? [16:09] oracle [16:09] erUSUL: blah blah [16:09] erUSUL: the urls havent moved yet have they? [16:09] maco but wouldn't that interfere with the install from ubuntu? When it tries to update that one etc [16:10] bigbrovar: This place is_a for tha people who do not thinking of doing.. Go do do and let us know when you run into problems, then we'll solve. Unless you need an opinion on what you're thinking of doing in which case I approve of your plan :D [16:10] whenever I change volume from the notification bar, it bounces alsa's headphones level to 0db which is very loud ("normal" volume for my soundcard is -21db) ; I have to kill pulse and adjust level again with alsamixer to return to normal. I tried to sudo alsactl store before relaunching pulse, but still it must load its levels from elsewhere [16:10] maco: nope. java.com still up an running afaik ( red instead of sun's "blue" ) [16:10] maco: so... ok, I can stop make, and retry the patch then config again, then use make again without having to start all over and re-download the source? [16:11] of course, you can [16:11] Riemervdzee: ubuntu only tries to update what is installed through the software center or apt-get [16:11] but why do you want to do that [16:11] ShapeShifter499: right [16:11] Dark_Star1, lol thanks [16:11] ShapeShifter499: you may want to know about "make clean" though ;-) [16:11] Riemervdzee: or from synaptic. [16:11] hi all. I'm having lots of trouble with using my mic in HP T5540 thin client [16:11] so, where does pulse take its alsa levels settings from ? [16:12] bigbrovar: have you attempted implementing something in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/ or something like that? [16:12] flupke: some volume setts [16:12] I think I will have it a go, thanks maco [16:12] randy_, i would look into that thanks :) [16:12] maco: ok... I'm assuming that "make clean" clears any files "make" made? [16:12] after trying to use it, sound card gets missing from sound properties [16:12] maco, so ubuntu is interest about the usability of desktop [16:12] flupke: internet says ~/.pulse/volume.restore.table [16:12] Okay, so is there anywhere I can go for help besides here? [16:12] ShapeShifter499: yep [16:12] mahioo: yes [16:12] ShapeShifter499: make only does what the makefile tells it to [16:13] Malignus: http://ubuntuforums.org/ , #ubuntu-beginners, probably other places.. [16:13] bigbrovar: according to the GConf documentation, any keys in that directory are read first and are not subject to change. i.e. Mandatory [16:13] hi [16:13] maco, for this there are some option disable .. [16:14] mhm.....ok [16:14] anybody knows a good equalizer solution (system wide, as rhythmbox does not have a package solution)? [16:14] Malignus: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-authentication.html mentions LDAP, but I haven't personally used it.. [16:14] randy_, cool might just be what I needed. am reading the docs now [16:14] marscher: by alsamixer? [16:14] marscher: gstreamer lacks the capability [16:15] Thank you, rww. [16:15] Kwpolska, yeah alsa would be very near to hardware [16:15] masher, rhytmbox does have a solution, not systemwide, i use this one http://www.lirmm.fr/~morandat/index.php/Main/Tools [16:15] maco, in your opinion ubuntu help the beginners user [16:15] mahioo: hopefully, yes [16:15] maco, or no !! [16:16] maco, what is your os !! [16:16] Oer, dead link :/ [16:16] mahioo: we have this papercuts project each cycle where we try to resolve 100 small issues on the desktop that when added up result in a worse experience for the user. [16:16] mahioo: i use kubuntu [16:16] Kwpolska, alsamixer is only for adjusting volumes [16:16] maco, apparently not, I removed ~/.pulse entirely with pulse killed, adjusted levels, started pulse and changed volume => headphone bounces to 0db [16:17] flupke: did you then change the volume and stop/start pulse? [16:17] hello, are the package (.deb) meta data files somewhere so i can edit them? [16:17] maco, yes (you have to kill pulse to see the "real" levels with alsamixer) [16:17] flupke: i think it intentionally starts at 0db as the default when .pulse is created so blind users are never stuck without their screenreader [16:17] 有人吗？ [16:18] !jp [16:18] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [16:18] maco, Kwpolska : thank you for discussion :) [16:18] after trying to use my mic in ubuntu 10.04, sound card gets missing from sound properties. any idea's? I already tried setting in alsa-base.conf: options snd-hda-intel model=intel probe_mask=1 (tried 8 too). my sound driver is ALC1200 [16:18] !kn [16:19] please any help [16:19] maco, problem is with my headphones at 0 db, moving 1 pixel on the pulse volume bar goes from silence to full volume [16:19] !kr [16:19] DarkNemesis: don't toy with it there [16:20] #ubuntu-bots has place for doing so [16:20] and it has many toys [16:20] Has anyone played 3gp files in 10.04? I get no video or audio using Totem, VLC, mplayer & RVM's PPA of mplayer [16:20] Kwpolska, was kl talking jp or kn? [16:20] travlarson80: installed buuntu-restricted-extras? [16:20] sorry kr* [16:20] DarkNemesis: hl? probably korean [16:20] maco, and I'm almost sure it was me who did this while toying with jack, after installation volume scaling was normal on the pulse bar [16:20] Kwpolska: yup [16:20] DarkNemesis: probably chinese [16:20] flupke: ah! thats a bug in pulse's flat volume handling. i think it crops up when the sound card reports it possible ranges wrong... please file it. ubuntu-bug -s audio [16:20] i dunno [16:21] Kwpolska: DarkNemesis hangul is very different from kanji [16:21] flupke: oh [16:21] !ko [16:21] 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [16:21] is there a way to make my second monitor have it's own panel? I want to be able to have a bottom panel with the apps that are running on one monitor on that monitor's panel. [16:21] ah ok [16:21] just symbols to me [16:21] maco, mmmh maybe then it happened after I installed latest alsa drivers from source and this is indeed a bug with the driver === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [16:22] DarkNemesis: korean has circles and lines see? japanese and chinese have swoops. japanese has lots of simple 2 or 3-swoop characters mixed in [16:22] flupke: oh dear. you've done a *lot* that couldve done it [16:22] maco mmm ok [16:23] eeep two maco's 1 is bad enough lol [16:23] maco, I'm almost sure it's the driver, the issue you describe makes sense [16:23] anyone happen to know/remember where the fuck dpkg (apt) stores the information about installed packages? [16:23] DarkNemesis: http://www.wikihow.com/Tell-Chinese,-Japanese,-and-Korean--Writing--Apart [16:23] ensi: watch your language, please [16:23] sorry [16:23] maco, I'll try to reverse to the kernel driver and see what happens [16:23] ensi: /var/lib/dpkg/ [16:23] flupke: ok [16:23] ensi: mind your language here [16:24] ensi: /var/lib/dpkg [16:24] ah i think /var/lib/dpkg/info [16:24] ensi: You can sorta figure this out by running dpkg -L dpkg [16:24] ensi, they dont like normal [Scottish speech] here [16:24] I'm just saying that's where the package database is. [16:25] maco: i like how you bundled up thousands of years of language into 'circles and lines and swoops' [16:25] randy_: heh, well if you cant actually read them, thats the difference you see [16:26] maco: 맞습니다... [16:26] randy_: hangul is a very recent writting system ( XVII century or so when koreans got fed up of chinese writting system of thouusans of symbols) . that what it make it so good [16:26] aah it's /var/lib/dpkg/status [16:26] thank you all [16:26] is there a way to make my second monitor have it's own panel? I want to be able to have a bottom panel with the apps that are running on one monitor on that monitor's panel. [16:27] i found one: http://code.google.com/p/rbeq/ [16:27] erUSUL: katakana is also pretty recent [16:28] Hey, my system is remembering old ethernet cards, so when I replace one, it calls it eth2 instead of eth1 or the like. How can I clear that history? [16:28] I have two cards, and I'd like them to be eth0 and eth1. Instead they are eth1 and eth3 [16:28] marscher, sorry, it's really a dead link, got it from http://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins/ThirdParty [16:28] maco: japs are weird; they keep developing writting systems each as complex as the one before it ;P [16:29] #linguistics if you would like to discuss the origin of writing systems. [16:29] Good morning :) [16:29] hey IdleOne [16:29] good morning idleone [16:30] Digital-Pioneer: it goes by mac address. hang on ive found this file before [16:30] help on installing a .tgz file please [16:30] And why the heck is eth1's MAC set to broadcast? FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF ?! [16:30] hi - i would like to permanently bind applications to specific workspaces in gnome. Is that possible & if so how? found an article about (g)devilspie - but was wondering if that is still the way to go [16:30] Heheh [16:30] maco: Thanks. :) [16:30] Chum_Chum: its not exactly something you just install. there could be anything in there. thats like asking to install a zip [16:30] Chum_Chum: you can install a .tgz. its a compressed/"zipped" file [16:30] cant* [16:30] Chum_Chum: so there could be already compiled stuff, or there could be source code you need to compile. open it up and check the README [16:31] hello #ubuntu, how can i get terminal to show me extended ascii / ansi. all i get is this: ������ [16:31] oh *slaps himself* silly me [16:31] (black question marks) [16:31] Nikon: er... instead of unicode, you mean? [16:31] i guess so [16:31] Is there no way in Ubuntu to have a DHCP IP/Gateway but a static DNS? (hate to say it, but like windows?) [16:31] hi! === randy is now known as Guest30174 [16:33] Digital-Pioneer: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [16:33] Roasted_: edit your dhclient.conf [16:33] llutz, uh, so I take it theres no "practical" way to do that? [16:33] where can i get a amstred emulator for linux from [16:33] I mean, it's just a simple request - if Linux can't do it I'll just put my current DHCP IP in as static. [16:33] Wish I wouldn't have to do that but, if I have to, whatever. [16:33] ����� [16:34] anyone [16:34] Roasted_, you're using Desktop Ubuntu? [16:34] yes [16:34] laptop [16:34] where can i get a amstred emulator for linux from [16:34] !google [16:34] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. === Guest30174 is now known as randy_ [16:34] If you go to "Edit Connections" from your Network manager applet, you can select "Automatic (DHCP addresses only)", I believe. [16:35] Nikon: by extended ascii, do you mean the stuff microsoft made up thats nonstandard? [16:35] @Roasted_, sorry. [16:35] Malignus, bingo! thanks [16:35] maco: i mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII [16:35] Roasted_, you're welcome. :) [16:35] i want to know what a amstred emulator is called for linux [16:36] hello hello [16:36] im at work and fancy answering afew noob questions :D [16:36] evince isn't really cutting it with my current setup. Anyone have any good recommendations for pdf viewers? [16:36] anyone [16:36] econdudeawesome: well, there is acroread [16:37] randy_ is it in the repos? [16:37] econdudeawesome: the standard adobe pdf app? [16:37] hi all [16:37] Chum_Chum: I'm not aware of one [16:37] econdudeawesome: these are the reasons we use ubuntu, right? [16:37] rbt I run LXDE--don't have room for bloatware [16:37] econdudeawesome: enable the partner repo then install acroread [16:37] Nikon: ok so you'll likely need to know *which* extended ascii you mean (as the wikipedia link you gave points out, there are plenty, and there is no standard), though i do wonder why youd rather do this than just use unicode like the rest of the world-that-needs-more-than-english [16:38] acroread == Adobe Acrobat Reader? [16:38] ikonia, nore am i [16:38] econdudeawesome: Then you don't have room for an alternative to evince. [16:38] econdudeawesome: ... you should be running with slackware or debian then ;P [16:38] :( [16:38] econdudeawesome: yup [16:38] econdudeawesome: it works really well [16:38] haha :-) how does xpdf hold up? [16:38] maco: i am trying to connect to bbs's that use ANSI art, which causes a flurry of question mark characters and makes the display indecipherable [16:39] econdudeawesome: evince has no firefox plugin thats why I use acroread [16:39] econdudeawesome: as far as features are concerned, you won't get more from anything other than adobe's product, obviously. PDF is *their* standard [16:39] econdudeawesome: I've used xpdf before, though I don't recall its footprint. [16:39] philinux yeah, I used that before, but it broke chromium [16:39] fair enough. Thanks for the opinions! [16:41] pls i wld like to share my wired internet on my desktop with my laptop using another ethernet cable [16:42] !ics > ddavids [16:42] ddavids, please see my private message [16:42] hey. im trying to get my wireless pci card to be recognized. i have had to use 'ndiswrapper' around the original windows driver [16:42] the problem is that part of installing ndiswrapper, you need to install ndiswrapper-source. [16:43] when i do it I get this: Reading package lists... Done [16:43] Building dependency tree [16:43] Reading state information... Done [16:43] Package ndiswrapper-source is not available, but is referred to by another package. [16:43] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [16:43] siddhion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:46] maco: this caused a change, but for the worse unfortunately. now color is unsupported [16:46] siddhion: the package is called ndiswrapper-source NOT ndiswrappe-source like you spelled it [16:46] siddhion: are you sure you need ndiswrapper? [16:46] i see where this is going though [16:47] i just fill this in with the correct charset? [16:47] Nikon: yep [16:47] erUSUL, yes i am sure i need it [16:47] maco: ok. thank you for helping me :) [16:48] erUSUL, i have a Linksys AirConn INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter [16:48] siddhion: "lspci | grep -i net" is more helpfull [16:49] erUSUL: in response to what you mentioned earlier, I am *well* aware of 한글's history ;) [16:49] randy_: just FYI [16:49] siddhion: i've worked with that same wireless card, your trying to use ndiswrapper on it right? [16:49] erUSUL, yes it says "02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) [16:49] " [16:50] erUSUL: i studied Korean in college (massive credits ftw) [16:50] racethesunlive, yes i am [16:50] randy_: may i pm? [16:50] maco: srue [16:50] siddhion: were you able to install the drivers into ndiswarpper yet? [16:52] racethesunlive, i was able to get it installed but i remember some WARNING message [16:52] siddhion: I was able to get ndiswrapper to use the 2220 card, but i always had to use the 'sudo iwconfig essid linksys' command when first booting up [16:53] racethesunlive, i see. i got the "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release." message [16:53] racethesunlive, but along with that I had confirmation that the driver was succesfully installed [16:53] guys having an issue with mounting the root filesystem, which is on LVM.. what im getting is "mount: mounting /dev/mapper/name-root on /root failed: Invalid argumnet".. in then proceeds to say that it cant find init.. looks like im having issues mounting LVM but not sure how to debug this one.. anyone able to help? [16:53] siddhion: what card is it? [16:54] siddhion: i would try using 'modprobe ndiswrapper' then 'iwconfig essid "your essid"' [16:54] siddhion: as ive had luck after forcing the wireless on [16:54] Kwpolska, Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) [16:55] hi guys. do any of you experienced with HP T5540 thin clients + ubuntu 10.04? sound is working but mic doesn't work. when I try to use it, sound card is vanished from sound properties until I reboot [16:55] ALC1200 - Onboard HD azalia Audio Controller [16:55] racethesunlive, yes this is where the problem is happening [16:55] siddhion: at modprobe or getting a wireless connection? [16:55] racethesunlive, when I use 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' i get 'FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.' [16:56] maco, reverting to the stock drivers fixes the volume bar scaling problem, so it was a bug in the newest drivers as you said [16:56] anybody know if their are linux drivers for airpcap USB, or is it still just for windows? [16:56] siddhion: did you use the 'ndiswrapper -m "your driver here"' command [16:56] siddhion: or it might just be sudo ndiswrapper -m [16:56] siddhion: that should make a module for ndiswrapper [16:56] maco, but now I lose half of my soundcards functionality... why I'm so unlucky with each and every sound card I buy :) [16:57] racethesunlive, when i run 'sudo ndiswrapper -m' i get "module configuration already contains alias directive" [16:58] anybody know if their are linux drivers for airpcap USB, or is it still just for windows? [16:59] siddhion: have you tried either -ma or -mi with better luck? [16:59] damnit [17:00] siddhion: and you also used the drivers for a 32 bit XP machine correct?

[17:01] racethesunlive, jeez, i did not even think of that. how would i check this? [17:01] siddhion: if your not sure you can always redownload the windows driver and then reinstall it in ndiswrapper [17:02] racethesunlive, well the thing is that when i installed the driver, it said that it was installed. [17:03] siddhion: ndiswrapper -l shows it as installed right? [17:04] maco, it also happens with the drivers from linux-backports-modules-alsa, do you think I should file a bug or are they unsupported ? [17:04] flupke: that package is supported [17:04] maco, ok I'll file one then [17:04] racethesunlive, yes when i run it i get "neti2220 : driver installed [17:04] device (17FE:2220) present" [17:06] hola soy novato en esto de ubuntu , he configurado la mayoria de las cosas de mi pc , menos la tarjeta usb de tv analoga alguien me puede ayudar en eso?

Logic says it should work if it's being picked up for documents [17:25] abhijit: use the init script [17:25] BlT, it's also a wine emulation, menus look like win3.11 hehehe [17:25] Jordan_U: that is one that only has physical access and no passwords. [17:25] BlT, didn't they have the decency to cross-compile or whatever? [17:26] ikonia, can you give me some link about it? I am not advanced user. i just need for college study [17:26] Jordan_U: I could do it, but this particular person has little knowledge about computers. [17:26] blackxored: no... [17:26] Jordan_U: and communicating all these steps is rather annoying. [17:26] when I run update, I receive an error: "Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid/partner Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_partner_binary-amd64_Packages)" :: obviously I do not want to remove "http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid/partner" from sources.list, so what should I do in this case ? [17:26] is it safe to do security based on user's groups? i have two groups: backup and sftp. one gives it access to reading the backups, the otherone gives them limited, chrooted access through sftp. sshd makes this distinction based on the user's group. is this safe? [17:27] abhijit: give me a minute, I'll install it [17:27] ikonia, ok [17:28] hi i just updated system and after that sound dissapered , like no hardware is showing up in gnome settings any clue how to fix ? [17:28] Hilikus, The point of groups is to do things exactly like what you're describing :) [17:28] blackxored: yea, I'm not seeing it [17:28] ok cool [17:28] Chum_Chum: using Update Manager [17:28] edbian: a user cannot leave a group by its own will? [17:28] it works now [17:28] has anyone experienced difficulties with the fonts after installing ms office 2007 on ubuntu 10.04? [17:28] Hilikus, I don't believe so. [17:28] BlT i'd stick for a while, but i think i'll be back to my previous setup ;) [17:29] blackxored: ok. [17:29] Hilikus, groups are held in /etc/group. To edit that file you need to be root.

Have you tried using an alternate nameserver?

Only terminal. [18:49] Kulverstukas: from terminal you can reinstall it [18:49] How do I restore it aall [18:49] Kan iemand mij helpen met een ubuntu probleem? [18:49] recovery mode? [18:50] Kulverstukas: « sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop » [18:50] Kulverstukas: if you have internet connection [18:50] Hi every1 [18:50] Can someone help me with an ubuntu NBR 10.04 problem [18:50] it saysL failed to resolve ubuntu.archive,com [18:51] erUSUL know stuff about iso files/torrents? [18:51] After installing ubuntuy 10.04 and updating the net book refuses to start [18:51] Kulverstukas: how do you connect to internet ? [18:51] the grub menu is shown and only the windows 7 option works [18:51] wireless or wired? [18:51] erUSUL, wireless [18:51] CrazyT210: ask; if i or anyone know we will answer [18:51] ok [18:51] Kulverstukas you might boot the live cd, mount the target fs, chroot into the target fs, and run the apt-get command. [18:52] JaRa, where is veer? [18:52] how i can set up my speling chek for Firefox and another programs [18:52] ?\ [18:52] i'm having some printing problems, it seems my printer isn't detected, but i can scan pictures =X [18:52] Kulverstukas: can you connect via wired just to repair the system? would be far easier [18:52] Kulverstukas that might be the easiest way around the issue [18:52] how do i can transform .rar in .jar? [18:52] alynn: archive to java app? [18:52] what is the meaning of veer? [18:52] erUSUL, I don't have a spare cable right now [18:52] yep [18:52] Well i've downloaded a torrent, sense its a big file 7.9GB, it gives me all folders/zips what ever you call them, now i need to get that into one ISO file like it should? highlight all folders and compress or what? [18:52] then follow root__ advice [18:52] Kulverstukas: ^ [18:53] ok then [18:53] <{g}> Hey People! I just rented a virtual machine with root access. I would like to run Firefox on it and use it remotely via VNC or some other remote desktop. At the moment I just have a ssh session open. Any pros here who know what to do next? [18:53] .jar for may cell (moto ve66) [18:53] my* [18:53] CrazyT210: what have you downloaded ? the iso has to be bootable? [18:53] Its for xbox GTA IV. [18:53] a game [18:54] alynn: unrar it so its a directory, then use "jar" to make a jar of it [18:54] Anyone wants to help me [18:54] ??? [18:54] alynn: "sudo apt-get install unrar" [18:54] {g}: you dont really *need* vnc to use firefox. ssh can do it... [18:54] JaRa, i hav seen a movie named veer jara thats why :P [18:54] <^peanut^> {g}: you can use firefox via ssh X11 forwarding, but it will be really slow. As for vnc, you can use or install vnc4server from apt-get [18:54] CrazyT210: not familiar with that stuff; you shoud find a guide or something that explain how to generate a valid iso from the dir estructure [18:54] <{g}> maco: firefox via ssh? [18:54] Lalon ok [18:54] {g}: and you shouldnt really run firefox as root in case something bad gets in [18:54] hello [18:54] {g}: yep [18:55] {g}: ssh -X user@server [18:55] xbox game and ubuntu, i'm confused [18:55] why my screen become black while the ubuntu is in process .. is there any problem with my agp card [18:55] or what [18:55] <{g}> maco: what will happen then? [18:55] Well on windows, i click extract it will extract all of them files automaitly and put it into one iso file [18:55] Yeah rips :D [18:55] how come i cannot find system > administration > services? [18:55] {g}: then you can run the "firefox" command and firefox will open in front of you. it takes less network traffic (so its faster) than having to draw an entire desktop across the network [18:55] drew212: because its gone [18:55] is there a way to list packages based on dependencies? i want to list all packages that don't need x windows [18:56] ok tnks [18:56] CrazyT210: what type of file it is? a rar? [18:56] drew212: it was for the old SysV Init way of doing things. it doesnt work with the current boot process [18:56] let me check [18:56] <{g}> maco: i dont think there is x running on the server right now. how do i check? [18:56] {g}: there doesnt need to be [18:56] maco well the printing troubleshooter tells me to go to it to start 'cups' [18:56] <^peanut^> {g}: you don't need X to run firefox over a tunnelled ssh connect with X forwarding. [18:56] {g}: VNC would require that X run on the server. ssh just requires that it run locally [18:56] urUSUL: RAR file. [18:56] maco so that troubleshooter is outdated... [18:56] !rar | CrazyT210 [18:56] <{g}> let me try it... [18:56] CrazyT210: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [18:56] is it possible to use 'sensors' to view my nvidia gpu? [18:57] maco how do i enable services manually then? [18:57] drew212: hmm thats a bug for you to point it somewhere nonexistent. anyway, you want the "sudo service cups start" command [18:57] !lmsensors [18:57] Sasquatch7: nvidia-settings can be used to check nvidia temp [18:57] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package.

[18:57] <{g}> ^peanut^, maco: does that give the server some kind of control over my client? [18:57] erUSUL: thanks [18:57] <^peanut^> Sasquatch7: the nvidia drivers when installed with the "Hardware Drivers" app, installs the nvidia gui app that will let you see the gpu stats [18:57] maco shouldn't that start automatically at startup? [18:58] sam898889, you can try empathy or pidgin? [18:58] <^peanut^> {g}: no [18:58] {g}: no, it just tells it to forward what it *would* draw through your ssh tunnel instead of trying to draw it to the server's (maybe nonexistent) screen [18:58] empathy or pidgin dont support webcam tho do they ? [18:58] drew212: yes it should [18:58] <^peanut^> {g}: it just gives you access to firefox. [18:58] drew212: you can check with "service cups status" [18:58] is there a way to use apt-cache to list all packages that don't require X? [18:58] sam898889, they do support very well. audio and video both [18:58] abhijit, do i need to install any plugins? [18:59] sam898889, no. its inbuilt.

[19:01] just upgraded to maverick, and ive tried to installed a Broadcom STA proprietry wireless driver, and its gave an error: SystemError: installArchives() failed. Any ideas please? [19:01] failover: its got no code, just a few files that tell how the server would work if it were installed [19:01] failover: the panel needs it to be able to work the clock applet, for example [19:02] maco, nothing against this package, just want to now if exist a workaround, cause i already faced this situations with others packages... [19:02] wow i done it [19:02] :) [19:02] failover: there's dpkg --force-depends, but of course it could make things break [19:03] <{g}> ssh -x; firefox : "Error: no display specified". Any ideas? [19:03] <^peanut^> {g}: the command is: ssh -X username@remotehost firefox [19:03] ok, will check this carefully [19:03] thanks maco [19:03] <{g}> ^peanut^: oh! ok [19:04] <{g}> ^peanut^: but firefox must be installed on the server, right?

[19:08] Lalon: i think yes, since skype exist on many linux'es [19:08] Any one could help whit spell cheking [19:08] <^peanut^> {g}: then it's likely firefox isn't installed. ssh to the machine, logon, then do: sudo apt-get install firefox [19:08] (g) : yes? :) [19:09] k0sh, okk what will be thecommand for sud.. like this sudo apt-get install skype [19:09] <{g}> it works! it works!

[19:10] philinux, I get the same results I tried that before. [19:10] zus: i used rolling release, it sucked (archlinux) lts is better solution [19:11] shiv: I would be temted to delete/rename the compiz configs in home.

[19:18] k0sh, i know i have a long long way to go before i get there, but its interesting to know what can be done with gnu and opensource [19:18] Lalon: then maybe the command is still running in the background [19:19] zus: its fun to learn, but to use better have something already configured [19:19] Lalon: you really should never close the terminal while an insatll/update is going or shut down in the middle of one [19:19] qwerty3: check here perhaps help you http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [19:19] thanks everyone for the inputs [19:19] maco how can i kill the previous command [19:20] Lalon: better to let installs finish than to interrupt them [19:20] Hello, i have ubuntu 10.04 and geforce 6200 and i cant start system (i have black screen or splash with two red dots) [19:20] mahioo: ok. thank you.

I think this update is buggy [20:38] DasEi: thanks [20:38] the tar doesn't look quite right when you examine it, but it extracts the way i would want it to [20:38] dominicdinada: grub-version currently gives ? [20:38] tells me my grub.cfg is not configured correctly but it is.... [20:39] dominicdinada: What is the exact message? [20:39] did u sudo update-grub? after installation? [20:39] DasEi: cant drop out it is sitting at the grub config screen [20:39] dominicdinada: so grub2,sudo update-geub turns an error ? [20:40] dominicdinada: have a live cd handy ?

[20:40] whats the difference between sudo update-grub & sudo update-grub2? [20:41] BigC: There is none. [20:41] BigC: the latter doesn't do ? [20:41] Jordan_U: so it does basically the same thing? [20:41] lalon ? [20:42] DasEi: Jordan_U http://imagebin.org/106358 [20:42] BigC: cat /usr/sbin/update-grub2 and you'll see that all it does is call update-grub. [20:42] DasEi, no key [20:42] hey there... my config hits a bug with libusb, so i needed to downgrade libusb. is there a way to 'pin' libusb to a particular version so it doesn't upgrade? [20:43] dominicdinada: Have you added or removed any drives recently? [20:43] lalon: try http://pastebin.com/Qk8uEFCE [20:43] hello [20:43] ok [20:44] Jordan_U: nope, the primary hd is still working 100% correctly. The external usb is not mounted at boot. The only thing i can think of is the way i first installed ubuntu. [20:44] when i install one package i get "Not replacing deleted config file" in may files.. how can i overwrite those files from package files? [20:44] dominicdinada: so install again to mbr [20:44] DasEi, did that alredy [20:45] lalon : sudo apt-get update [20:45] dominicdinada: And can you pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc" and "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/"? (you only need to run those if you're curious why the screen is showing up, it's perfectly safe to just continue to the next screen and choose your hard drive again (do *not* select any partitions)) [20:45] also Jordan_U whats the difference between /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin?

Cos this POS installer 6 months after my 2 TB server with alot of data on it I cant afford to lose any data [20:46] DasEi: I also linked the drives correctly on install by the drive ids [20:46] dominicdinada: or quit there for now and do sudo update-grub, then retry updating [20:46] Survey says this update is buggy for my machine [20:46] DasEi: update-grub has nothing to do with this. [20:47] ctrl ^ C wont drop me out :O [20:47] Jordan_U: if it complains about grub.cfg ? [20:47] dominicdinada: Why do you think it's buggy? [20:47] DasEi: It's not complaining about his grub.cfg if you actually read the message (he posted a screenshot). [20:48] lalon : sudo apt-get install skype [20:48] Jordan_U: because nothing has changed with my drives.... i did install it correctly no problems 6 months of updates even updating grub and all of a sudden this happens [20:48] ok [20:49] Jordan_U: (21:38:49) dominicdinad: tells me my grub.cfg is not configured correctly but it is.... [20:49] Jordan_U: my UUID has changed WTF didnt know they change like presto [20:49] lalon: worked ? [20:49] dominicdinada: Could you please pastebin the output of the commands I gave earlier? [20:49] 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. I have disabled ipv6 support. How to fix it? [20:49] DasEi, update working [20:49] but i dont want to update [20:49] lalon: ic [20:49] Jordan_U: Ctrl ^ C wont let me drop out of that screen [20:49] damn [20:49] DasEi: His statement was not accurate. [20:50] kk [20:50] uids wrong.. [20:50] lalon: what's on ? [20:50] DasEi: so my drive just decided to change uids ? [20:50] i dont think so [20:50] DasEi, cancelled terminal [20:51] dominicdinada: did you do any partioning ? [20:51] dominicdinada: You shouldn't drop out of that screen. And if there is a bug it should be fixed, do determine why this screen is coming up I need to see the output of "debconf-show grub-pc" and "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/". [20:51] DasEi, i just want the skype to work in ubuntu [20:51] lalon: you have to make apt see the new repo by update [20:51] DasEi: yes the primary ext4 and secondary fat swap [20:52] both are linked correctly by hand [20:52] this was done when i first installed lucid [20:52] dominicdinada: so that changes their uid's then, see jordan and : [20:52] !blkid [20:52] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [20:52] 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. I have disabled ipv6 support. How to fix it? [20:52] dominicdinada: What do you mean by "linked correctly by hand"/ [20:53] CbIP, you use the same dns server on ubuntu as on windows? [20:53] hello, i created a USB penrive on which i have ubuntu 10.04... but i want to have a USB pendrive on which i can run stuff like 'aptitude install'... 'aptitude update'.. and so on.. any idea? thank you [20:53] CbIP: did you disable ipv6 support in firefox as well? === root is now known as Guest46731 [20:53] Jordan_U: I physically entered the blkids when i installed. Because when i put lucid on here i had no dvd on the machine that this Hard drive was going to go into [20:53] DasEi: No, repartitioning does not change the device ID (which is usually composed of the hard drive manufacturer and serial number) which is what is relevant in this case. [20:53] adriaooo: have a look at pendrivelinux (It's a website) [20:53] i just did a fresh install of 10.04. After doing all the updates, I have no menu bars at top or bottom? tried removing all the .gconf files, but that didn'work suggest? [20:53] so i installed it from and external drive connector and set the blkids for the primary and swap manually [20:53] Barnabas: yes, I do. The same DNS, the same connection [20:53] Jordan_U: but it changes the uids of partitons listet for grub [20:54] i* [20:54] BigC: How to check it? [20:54] DasEi: That is not relavant in this case. [20:54] DasEi: yes, i saw before.. but didn't found a good solution. i try agein [20:54] CbIP: in a new tab, type about:config [20:54] BigC: Right now I'm using Opera... [20:54] Jordan_U: it is, as grub won't find it's dirs then nomore [20:54] dominicdinada: UUIDs are for identifying filesystems, the id stored for where grub needs to be installed to needs to identify drives. [20:55] oh, well that was my problem with firefox, i had to disable ipv6 in firefox to make it faster [20:55] CbIP, perhaps it is worth trying to see directly how the speed is on a dns lookup [20:55] dominicdinada: Since you've changed drives, the drive you initially installed to is not being found (because it's not there).

[20:57] ciao [20:57] hmmm this is confusing though. one shows my entire hd the other shows the partition then next shows externals... not broken into swap primary :/ [20:57] i wonder why Evolution allow only a small subsets of the fields in addressbook [20:57] hmm powertop is a pretty interesting tool === brendan_ is now known as Guest3611 [20:57] Jordan_U: hi :) [20:58] i'll look for Evolution extensions [20:58] Jordan_U: am i looking to set the drive to the one with the / .... Sdb1 on my machine :/ [20:58] notte a tutti [20:58] BigC: Thank you very much! [20:58] is it working much faster now? [20:58] dominicdinada: No, grub needs to be installed to the mbr, so you want to select "sdb" and only sdb. [20:59] i'm using Evolution with Google Contacts === Neurotiquette is now known as mdpatrick [20:59] BigC: Some sites - yes. But speedtest.net loads slowly [20:59] jordan: sdb is usb, sda is internal [20:59] it could also be flash as well causing it to slow down [20:59] Jordan_U: : sdb is usb, sda is internal [21:00] Jordan_U: ok what are the risks of this completely messing things up..... this should not need to be done as i have stated 30 times i handled and removed all traces of how it was installed via external HD over 6 months ago [21:00] DasEi: i know that but hmmmm [21:00] adriaooo: http://i8t.de/tjhu6n5u , choose persistent [21:01] BigC:: May be...

Don't select any partitions though, especially if you dual boot with windows. [21:06] adriaooo: you can have it on linux, too, also unetbootin works, just don't give the whole remaining space for storage, so addtional soft will fit on it [21:06] !unetbootin [21:06] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:06] Jordan_U: you mean the external HD enclosure ? this "External HD" was just put in a 3.5 adapter...

I also noticed that gnewsense has "Authorizations" installed, do I need to remove policykit (or polkit or whatever) for this to work or is it simply a nautilus problem???

Why is the Dbus so buggy it doesn't clean itself up about 95% of the time. of course i cangoto .dbus and delete it but shouldnt this be taking care of itself ? [21:19] however, thats resulted in a bitter error [21:19] thewolf: really that stinks i looked in the forums and tried it all but to no avail [21:19] THAT's what it was: creating new authority file /var/lib/postgresql/.Xauthority [21:20] AnxiousNut, what was the error again you had? [21:20] errr .dbus session-bus rather [21:20] ChrisBuchholz: shouldn't be too many issues. i researched it earlier, and it seems pretty straightforward. i am considering doing my imac G5 [21:20] sparky:what i did was click screen share (The person I was talking to had windows vista) and I opened chesse and the could see the webcam on my desktop... === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [21:21] coz_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/467640/ [21:21] will851: i read something about it being a pain in the ass with the new macs - heart any about that?

[21:23] coz_, can you tell me what to do exactly? [21:23] ChrisBuchholz: not that I'm aware of. Why not give the liveCD a try? [21:23] ChrisBuchholz, i know someone was in the channel with a Mac Book Pro with wireless issues the other day. I've never owned a Mac so don't know if there issues was unique or not. Best of luck.

[21:27] Barnabas, on sipgate??? [21:28] sipgate.com? [21:28] songer, you'll have to connect with GnomePPP or wvdial. There are many tutorials out there for it... [21:28] will851: btw, these links dont mention dual-boot - will there be any weirdness about doing that? [21:28] if "sipgate" is sip compatible it should be the same as on other providers of SIP / VoIP [21:29] i already try it [21:29] Barnabas, i've used qutecom, ekiga and twinkle, still can't register 408 timeout, also i can't connect even through netcat, but the info in the site keeps telling me what i've put there, so i wanted to see if there are any sipgate.com users here? [21:29] ZykoticK9, Lokking at the page you sent me to makes me feel queesy [21:29] *looking [21:29] Pirate_Hunter: if you mean in the filename: find directory/ -name 'word' -print; if you mean inside the files: grep -nHR 'word' directory/ [21:29] gnome ppp says No modem was found on your system [21:29] Pirate_Hunter: actually, probably want '*word*' in the find command [21:30] wvidial no such file or directoru somthing like that [21:30] some weird seg faults on totem does anyone have the same issue? [21:30] mac9416 [21:30] blackxored, have you checked the IP / Port of the SIP connection ? perhaps it is non standard [21:30] on sipgate that is [21:30] ChrisBuchholz: might be worth reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046568 [21:30] Barnabas, says 5060 as always [21:30] songer, when you connect the device, run 'dmesg'. [21:30] but stun.sipgate.net isn't reachable [21:31] i duned it [21:31] although i can ping it [21:31] thank you, will851 [21:31] can't connect [21:31] songer, can you paste the results? [21:31] it's funny... used to this channel use to always be talking about iPods... now that I need help... nothing... [21:31] i t does not apoer ass ittusb [21:31] songer, pastebin [21:31] blackxored, I can lookup and ping stun.sipgate.net from here [21:31] songer, I didn't get that last bit. What happened? [21:31] Barnabas, check if you can connect to port 5060 and then 10000 there, plz? [21:32] blackxored, I cannot [21:32] connection refused [21:32] Barnabas, neither of them? [21:32] try .com [21:32] nope [21:32] and .co.uk === monica is now known as Guest14003 === bullgard_ is now known as bullgard4 [21:33] blackxored, same thing - connection refused [21:33] thewolf: i remember when the debian channel used to be about getting X to run...

[21:34] stun.sipgate..co.uk does not exist [21:34] Barnabas, so there's the deal [21:34] blackxored, wrong port? [21:34] do not really want to port scan them :-) [21:34] ok i'll take a look [21:34] Barnabas, i don't know they've told me this on every page I've checked [21:34] coz_, i should add that line right? APT::Cache-Limit “10000000″ cause it isnt there [21:35] trism, thanks will take note of that [21:35] blackxored, you could try a scan with nmap :-) [21:35] is there a greeting card program for linux? [21:35] but if they have a firewall it could take it the wrong way [21:35] and blacklist your IP [21:36] songer, let me know if you see anything that doesn't make sense. [21:36] dma: impress i guess (openoffice) [21:36] mac9416, mine is motorola motove240 [21:36] thanks ice [21:37] songer, so the device path and other details will be different.

[22:55] yonahw: take a screenshot [22:55] randy_ oh, sorry. thanks for your hint [22:56] asdf_baron: pulseaudio is a sound server running on top ofthe alsa drivers and libraries [22:56] DasEi: my edits to /etc/network/interfaces should make it work at boot from now on, yes? [22:56] asdf_baron: alsa are the framwork and drivers for sound cards in the kernel + a library to access them. pilseaudio uses that lib and acts as a sound server to userspace apps [22:56] maco thx for that nice link this is waht i was looking for [22:56] asdf_baron: for example, alsa provides the hardware interface to the various sound cards out there on the market; pulse audio is (supposed) to make it easy to finely tune your audio for different sources and outputs [22:56] Pancakez: yupp, that's the auto line for [22:56] Pancakez: manual can do sudo dhclient [22:56] i see. thanks [22:56] violinappren: what do you use for screenshots? [22:56] asdf_baron: apps can ues the alsa lib directly if they want to. hence the confusion [22:56] violinappren: thx for your hint.. [22:57] mreichelt: it did not work on mine let me try again [22:57] asdf_baron: but applications used to output sound directly to alsa, pulseaudio blocks that and redirects sounds to itself and then it goes to alsa [22:57] DasEi: awesome, thanks for the prompt help :) [22:57] dominicdinada, do you have graphic effects enabled? [22:57] violinappren: nevermind fond screenshot [22:57] I have them disabled [22:57] mreichelt: did you update your ubuntu recently [22:57] asdf_baron , alsa is the default audio driver and player for audio , pulseaudio is anothe [22:57] yep, latest updates dominicdinada [22:57] yonahw: applications > accessories > screenshot [22:57] mreichelt: mine are disabled as well [22:57] where can I upload my screenshot to?

[23:02] It seems that earcandy is muting any running applications, and now that it's uninstalled, I have no way to unmute them. VLC, aplay, rhythmbox are all muted. Movie Player still outputs sound. This is after reinstalling all Alsa packages [23:02] Sunzaru: like sudo mkdir /media/cd [23:02] old crt [23:02] Sunzaru: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cd [23:03] Sunzaru: cd /media/cd [23:03] Sunzaru:ls files there ?

[23:03] Sunzaru: possible [23:03] i have a stack of about 10 cds.. only problems with one of them sofar [23:03] The Ubuntu installer failed on installing GRUB, so I made it skip that step. Can I install it manually from the LiveCD? [23:03] Nixk: give few minutes, I'll try to generate xorg [23:03] so i'm thinking THAT one's jacked [23:03] TY [23:04] so much [23:04] yonahw: i suggest you try something other than mscorefonts (like Redhat's Liberation or my favorite, Droid Font set) as they are designed with freetype2 in mind [23:04] although they are all unmuted and full blast in sound menu, only movie player will output sound. wtf? [23:04] dominicdinada, do you think this bug is related to metacity? [23:04] violinappren: how can I get the droid font set? [23:04] asdf_baron: check in alsamixer [23:05] Do I need to chroot? [23:05] alsamixer is fine.. it doesn't seem to have an application specifix mixer [23:05] yonahw: sudo apt-get install ttf-droid [23:05] violinappren: thanks, I will try those [23:05] iaindalton: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD [23:06] WONDERFULL os, and support. bbl, got to go do happy dance :D [23:06] asdf_baron: not what i'm implying, max out left, right centre as well, i though maybe mplayer would only use one of them [23:06] *left right centre etc [23:06] I am noticing that my fonts in general have taken a turn for the worse with the msttcorefonts installed and am in the process of removing them now [23:06] yeah I see what you mean... but everything is maxed out [23:06] *thought [23:06] yonahw: you're welcome [23:07] asdf_baron: how many other sources can you test for? [23:07] and I'm pretty sure earcandy messed with applications and screwed things up. but I don't know how to reset that. (i alreday reisntalled alsa packags and uninstalled earcandy) [23:07] mreichelt: I am not sure i would ask someone with more knowledge, but wouldnt it be something with the compiz ? [23:07] violinappren: should I notice an immediate difference after installing the droid fonts or do I need to take other action afterwords? [23:07] alkisg: Just the thing I need; thanks. [23:08] np [23:08] aplay is muted. So is rhytmbox, vlc, chromium (flash).. basically everything that i had running when I installed earcandy [23:08] asdf_baron: do a further clean, go to your home dir. show hidden files and delete all earcandy, alsa, pulse audio related dot folders [23:08] Dasei: btw ubuntu 7 installed and booted perfectly [23:08] sounds good [23:08] dominicdinada, I don't think so, because compiz is deactivated [23:08] would be interesting to know if this bug occurs for people who have compiz activated [23:09] mreichelt: even with the compiz effects turned off it still runs in the background i believe [23:10] yep.. Still nothing [23:10] Sparc__: I know I am replying to a while ago, but your still in here, so why not. Anyway Ubuntu 8.10 great release, sadly no longer supported. [23:11] yonahw: adjust font selections in "appearance" and firefox preferences [23:11] Nixk: I used a rage 128 and a crt 60 hz, alter to your needs : http://pastebin.com/2cqky3qm [23:11] DasEi, ^peanut^: everything is copied over and worked with reboot. Thanks for the help [23:11] I think the file premissions were my problem [23:11] sebsebseb: yes I am [23:11] thepeon: fell home, lol [23:11] feel [23:11] !8.10 | Sparc__ [23:11] Sparc__: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu.

[23:12] is it possible to just upgrade my version of mysql? [23:12] yonahw: you're welcome [23:12] Nixk: and also alter your grub startup [23:12] mreichelt: my compiz used to run in the background however i do not see it running anymore so it could be a metacity [23:12] Sparc__: sure, but why run a unsupported version that gets no more security updates online? when upgrading to 9.04 should be quite well. That one only has untill the end of October when it comes to support by the way.

[23:13] asdf_baron: maybe check that pulseaudio is the only process 'capturing' your audio devices: fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq* [23:13] Dasei: Gotchya [23:13] I gues I should somehow instruct linux to start the device [23:13] but have no Idea how [23:14] dit [23:14] dominicdinada, ok, so I don't need to file this bug :) [23:14] DasEi: delete the true in hidden, so just "" remains and set the timeout to 3 seconds or such [23:14] anyone know how to assign a custom shortcut to use gedit plugins?

Open terminal double click to maximize, then open your home folder and if you click the X to close the home folder it closes the terminal instead [23:14] dominicdinada: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599181 [23:15] DasEi: save the file, close gedit, run : sudo update-grub, so get a chance better for left shift [23:15] is there a way to know if you are on a dedicated server or a VPS? I mean like someone sold you a dedicated, how would you find out if it's a VPS? [23:15] dominicdinada: uh no, and I am using another distro at the moment, not Ubuntu [23:15] alkisg: haha i guess it has been a problem for along time :O [23:16] Salam [23:16] Help === slidingh0 is now known as slidinghorn [23:16] Apple and Linux keep becoming more MS like :( not in a good way either [23:16] dominicdinada & alkisg: do you think it would make sense to file this bug in launchpad, too?

[23:48] yup [23:49] this thing is fast with 64bit 10.4 [23:49] why ubuntu likes python? it is very very slow [23:49] BluesKaj: There is a lot of folklore on spread through the vast interwebs. If you read the man page for ntfsresize it explicitly states that the claims about needing to defrag first are untrue. [23:49] I think if all developers stick to a better programming language is better for linux [23:49] <^peanut^> ITSa341: hmm, sorry bro, not sure what to say. Mess around with the Makefile if you know your way around. If not... ask again in channel here, maybe someone else knows. Or, kick back to 32bit =( [23:49] for example c or c++ [23:49] DasEi: yep, and i can run and install most programs but when i try to run commands like modprobe it tells me unable to reslove host (none) [23:50] MIH1406: it's sayn to ease complex tasks, but other languages are supported too, c++ is also widely used [23:50] just hate to have this dang usb wifi plugged in to connect [23:50] ok, thanks peanut [23:50] yes, menu editor is very slow [23:50] I think a c++ clone is better [23:50] hello there. is anyone here using Ubuntu on a LG x110? [23:50] MIH1406: you can use any editor of your choice [23:50] Ubuntu remix even [23:51] I mean GNOME menu editor [23:51] im using remix with a netbook [23:51] Also deluge has very very slow GUI [23:51] Does anyone know why a gateway pentium D computer will not run a live cd? I put a new cmos battery in it, changed cd drives, safe graphics mode, alterenate iso, usb boot, and both 64 and 32 bit installs. It either says: boot error. or reboots when it starts loading the kernal? I have never seen anything like it... [23:52] phyton against c++ has to be translated, this is why it's slower, MIH1406 [23:52] anyone know where i can get a cheap 3g usb/mini pcie card from? [23:52] I am gonna install remix on my GF's netbook. just wanted to ask if it has any problems on x110 [23:52] Planetary: fresh disks? [23:52] <^peanut^> Planetary: hmm, memory? md5sum the iso image? [23:52] new and old [23:52] if you click the down button you have to wait seconds to see the effect while this is not the behavior prefered by any users [23:52] <^peanut^> Planetary: btw, pentium D doesn't support 64bit if I remember correctly. [23:52] they ahve worked on other computers and I have checked them [23:52] DasEi: I cannot understand what you mean? [23:53] what do you mean by "translated"? [23:53] MIH1406: http://i8t.de/index.php [23:54] what is this link, DasEi? [23:55] memory? it has a gig, but I dont remember the brands. [23:55] MIH1406: Users also expect features, and with open source are often implementing those features on their own time. Programming in python generally provides more stable results faster given the same amount of developer time. And many developers wouldn't even be volunteering that time if they had to write in C++. [23:55] what is the oldest version of Ubuntu that supports EXT4 file system ?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [23:55] <^peanut^> Planetary: So you do you even see the bootloader splash screen when booting from the live cd? [23:56] wx9j: new kernels fix very critical bugs [23:56] MIH1406: tinyurl borked, http://blog.dhananjaynene.com/2008/07/performance-comparison-c-java-python-ruby-jython-jruby-groovy/ [23:56] violinappren, yes but it seems the 10.4 is really messing with my computer [23:56] But this is against Ubuntu if we are doing some (Ubuntu vs Windows) [23:57] i'm sorry asking in private, cause i thought it won't help anyone except me. did you check Jordan_U ? [23:57] wx9j: state your problems here and we may be able to help you [23:57] Hasanibrahim: Has windows ever booted since you installed Ubuntu? [23:57] Jordan_U, I have personal experience with an undefragged windows partition not responding after installing linux , so i'll stick with my experience vs some theory [23:57] Jordan_U: no, it never [23:57] the box locks up totally and will not respond till after it is rebooted. [23:58] BluesKaj: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc [23:58] DasEi: didnt give me any errors im trying the usb now [23:58] Hasanibrahim: did you try fixing windows mbr? i gave you the command === Sup|Away is now known as SuP|Lobby === Zeike is now known as brandonj [23:59] !away > SuP|Lobby [23:59] SuP|Lobby, please see my private message [23:59] ^peanut^: yes, it comes up and askes if it want to try or intall ubuntu etc. If I try or intstall it spins teh cd up and then reboots. I have played with the bios too. I have tried this with new and old versions of (x/u/k)buntu [23:59] <^peanut^> Planetary: Have you run memtest86 from the cd? [23:59] Hasanibrahim: The windows boot sector (partition boot recort, not mbr) is hard coded to look for windows on the first partition, normally you install Ubuntu in later partitions on the disk rather than earlier ones. I think that fixboot from a windows install CD will fix this but I'm not sure. [23:59] Hasanibrahim, it looks like you have 2 windows partitions .. I haven't seen a rescue partition for windows XP, so I'm wondering why 2 windows installs ? [23:59] <^peanut^> Planetary: I'd run that. just to rule out your memory
