Could you expand on that, please? [00:02] sindegra: The intel driver is used for ttys by default. That's why I was wondering why you were messing around with VESA.

I get a blinking cursor and I can type, but it doesn't boot. I loaded Hardy's kernel and it gave me initramfs but my keyboard isn't working now so I can't type. [00:14] maleldraconis: if the drive is built such that it absolutely wont power on until the OS talks to it (not just when the computer powers on), theres nothing we can do about it [00:14] the error is http://pastebin.com/davBhALQ [00:14] any other ideas on how to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS without a usb stick or cd drive?

[00:15] maleldraconis: and why cant you use a usb thumb drive? [00:16] Maco: it's a netbook, so I can't remove the hard drive. and it's not reading from USB sticks before OS boot either... [00:16] this bios is a pain [00:16] maleldraconis: look up info on doing a network install [00:17] Buenas [00:17] maleldraconis, youve got the ISO? [00:17] maleldraconis: I've never heard of a netbook that can't boot from USB, are you sure you setup the flash drive properly? [00:17] maleldraconis: netbooks mean you cant remove the hard drive? [00:17] maleldraconis: that one's news to me. also, plenty of eeepc users have installed ubuntu, so im sure the bios is capable of speaking to thumb drives [00:17] hi [00:17] well, it's not working with the thumb drive I have [00:18] you see why I'm frustrated with this process [00:18] maleldraconis: Does that thumb drive work with another computer? [00:18] maleldraconis, do you have the ISO image of the live CD? [00:18] i have ubuntu installed and i need to install windows [00:18] yes, I have the ISO [00:18] how can i do it? [00:18] uzu-cat: Boot the windows install CD and install windows. For help installing windows join ##windows. [00:18] maleldraconis, you could boot the iso in windows using qemu, or you could use the WUBI installer [00:18] Jordan_U: not for booting [00:18] i'm telling this 'cause i know that when you install windows it uses to delete the linux launcher [00:19] maleldraconis: how did you put it on the thumb drive? did you just copy the iso there or did you use unetbootin? [00:19] uzu-cat: install with the windows cd, then use the ubuntu cd to reinstall grub [00:19] maleldraconis: Then why did you expect it to boot your netbook? [00:19] uzu-cat, install windows on its own partition, then if need be use the linux live CD to reinstall grub, though i didnt need to [00:19] maleldraconis: the last link the bot provided describes how to install via the ISO on the harddrive. [00:19] What are the default directories in /dev when it's not mounted? [00:19] I used the windows installer from the website and it only installed on the free space I had, it didn't format the whole drive like I want it to [00:20] hey i changed out my ubuntu partition size and now i cant start xserver, can any one help pls [00:20] Jordan: I didn't know until after I tried with this comp [00:20] ok, thanks, i'll try it! ;) [00:20] Hello everyone. On ubuntu 9.10, is there a graphical tool that would allow me to compare 2 text files side by side? [00:20] maleldraconis: ok so we've established that your netbook isnt rejecting boot options, just that your usb is broken [00:20] probably [00:20] maleldraconis, yes that is how the wubi install works, the only way to use the whole partiton is to boot the live image with no windows active [00:21] Which version of ubuntu starts to support ext4?

[00:21] maleldraconis, you said your thumb drive sucks, do you happen to have an mp3 player that works also as a flash drive? [00:21] I am doing an upgrade now [00:21] uzu-cat: to repartition your hard disk [00:21] that's what I'm using as my flash drive, wiess [00:21] But only to 8.04 for now [00:22] that's probably the problem [00:22] uzu-cat: If you don't already have a partition free to install windows into, gparted can help you resize Ubuntu to make space. If you already have a partition set out for windows then you don't need gparted. [00:22] but I have some options to try I guess, so I'll check those out and get back to you guys on how it worked or if.. [00:22] maleldraconis: ah yeah, mp3 players dont tend to go into USB Mass Storage mode until the OS starts talking to them [00:22] ilovefairuz> Thanks!

(USB, PATA, SATA etc) [00:24] Jordan_U: sata, ilovefairuz, its not, the drive is mountable under livecd [00:24] gruberror: Is the drive the BIOS is currently booted from also sata? [00:25] Jordan_U: yes, all my drives are sata [00:25] gruberror, if the bios doesnt acknowledge the HDD, it is a hardware issue of some sort, linux can many times see hardware that the bios is spazzing on. doesnt mean all is well though [00:25] gruberror: Check your BIOS settings then, that drive may simply be disabled. [00:25] i installed ubuntu on sdb, sda being the drive i have windows 7 on [00:25] is there any way to see if the boot loader is on the linux partition and not the windows?

[00:26] maleldraconis: if you did wubi, ubuntu's not on a separate partition at all [00:26] maleldraconis: its just in a file inside the windows filesystem. a very big file [00:27] gruberror: That's because grub is installed to sda. You're just getting a rescue shell because it can't load any of its modules or grub.cfg from sdb. [00:27] what are the UUIDs in mdadm.conf supposed to represent? They are not the same UUIDs as blkid shows [00:27] Maco: it shows as a seperate partition [00:27] is gdm disabled in 10.4 ? i can't get it to display a custom logon box, just a wallpaper ( http://imagebin.org/106551 ) [00:27] maleldraconis, can you see the linux partition from inside windows?

[00:31] rileyp: this all depends on the service you're trying to expose outside of the router [00:32] rileyp: depends what you want to go through it? could also forward both... [00:32] ilovefairuz: would you happen to know what I need to do next [00:32] ok so if i port forword 192.168.1.10 which is my servers ip [00:32] to view my server for the host environment [00:32] * maco notes there are more protocols than just those 2 [00:33] rileyp: you are usually given a choice for external port and internal port, both tcp and udp [00:33] rileyp: check your router's configuration interface [00:33] http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/issues/detail?id=28 end of this thread is my dilema [00:33] maco: What protocalls other than udp and tcp are generally routed?

[00:35] rileyp: really, it's usually a few clicks in the router's web interface [00:35] I have finished installed ubuntu server on vmware [00:36] if it were wampserver on windows it would be localhost [00:36] Jordan_U, im confuzzled, you can "route" other protocols other than udp and tcp? can you route IP frames or is that packets? Now im confused [00:36] Jordan_U: apparently the "proper" names for those according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289892 are esp, ah, and isatap (50,51,41) === [1]kerebrus is now known as kerebrus [00:36] windows does not know to open the ubuntu server on vmware by localhost [00:36] what port do i open? [00:37] m0dmd, if you installed the webserver point the browser inside the guest os to http://localhost and see what you get [00:37] ok i changed my password now when i login i have to put my new password and then my old one because of some keyring [00:37] m0dmd: ah I see. In the shell on the VM type in ifconfig. That tell you the IP address of the VM, then you can put that IP address in your web browser to connect to it [00:37] I have forwarded ports before on my router and know how to do this but I need to know what port [00:37] sweet [00:37] funkyHat thank you [00:38] m0dmd: in the virtual machine settings, select NAT not Host only [00:38] m0dmd: no problem :) [00:38] tucemiux: i *think* 50/51 use ports, from some firewall rules ive seen [00:38] what is what i have to do to create a partition with gparted? [00:38] rileyp, what questions are you asking? can you ask it all in one line? [00:38] ilovefairuz it's working. I've had NAT [00:38] thank you fellas [00:38] maco, i thought we were discussing protocols? You dont route a port, you use protocols to route internet traffic [00:38] rileyp: depends on what you're trying to access? what server/daemon ? [00:39] its my ipod attempting to communicate with mac reader [00:39] m0dmd, and now to make the change permanent give the virtual machine a static IP and open up whatever ports you want on your router and send it to the virtual machine [00:39] actullay its mac reader try to look at my rss feed sorry not 1 line [00:40] rileyp: what server does this "mac reader" this run? [00:40] tucemiux: copy that. [00:40] rileyp: try netstat to find the open ports [00:41] psycho_oreos: hey again i am back . can u tell me again what u told me to do ?

[00:43] you have been told that before [00:43] i'm unable to set my usb wifi card to mode master "for use in to share net wireless" anyone that can help with that [00:44] rileyp: netstat on the mac [00:44] !keyring [00:44] hmmmm [00:44] maco, yes, you were using incorrect terminology, but typically on a router you can only specify those two protocols, tcp/udp -- unless I'm mistaken [00:44] ilovefairuz, Its a ipod touch no net stat [00:44] hall: lshw -C network [00:44] rileyp: use google then? [00:45] rileyp: the server runs on an ipod touch ? [00:45] tucemiux: not sure. tbh, i dont recall my router even asking for a protocol when i setup port forwarding. it only wanted the port [00:45] tucemiux: i know for sure that some routers do *block* isatap, making those wanting to use ipv6 tunnels none too happy [00:45] hello.

[01:03] there is a power button for the touchpad and it does not light up anymore [01:03] lfitz: thats basicaly the same thing [01:03] mgolisch: ? [01:04] icemaker, is that card supported on linux? [01:04] how about removing that rule? or fixing it? [01:04] noisewaterphd: Linux doesn't support writing to hfsplus unless journaling is disabled. [01:04] Any suggestions how I can troubleshoot why monit wont' start at bootup or respond to /etc/init.d/monit start or /sbin/service monit start? [01:04] icemaker, if not you will have to see if its supported by ndiswrapper [01:04] mgolisch: i removed the rules and rebooted, nothing happened [01:04] noisewaterphd: Hfsplus is the filesystem used by OSX.. [01:04] really? [01:05] lfitz: what did that rule look like? [01:05] that isn't cool [01:05] thanks [01:05] noisewaterphd: You're welcome. [01:05] hall: basically there are conflicting reports on whether it suppots ap mode or not, the chip is a ralink, you could try to setup an ap manually using hostapd, some reported success with recent kernels [01:05] !hostapd [01:06] Hi [01:06] ilovefairuz could you point me in a direction to where i can read on about that hostapd ? [01:06] mgolisch: http://pastebin.com/KNKfbPJU [01:07] lfitz: what does that shellscript do? [01:07] !uptime [01:07] Windows7 Uptime : 2days 6hrs 2mins 1sec Record : 1wk 2days 19hrs 54mins 23secs [01:07] WindowsXP Uptime: 19hrs 10mins Best: 3wks 1day 17hrs 14mins 45secs [01:07] i did it :D [01:07] Niamor: Mead: Please turn those scripts off [01:07] mgolisch: its one line right now, it is: 'touch working' :P [01:07] hey guys, i have a question. as i've now migrated to Linux full-time, permanently, i have a 1tb hard drive formatted to NTFS that I use to store my files on. if i format this drive to ext4 (I know i'll lose all files on it) will Ubuntu automatically recognise it for file storage even if i have Ubuntu installed on a different drive? [01:08] wiesshund: it's suported by ndswrapper this is what i found on google but i cant realy understand it and it's giving me an error as is http://dinthsblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-was-fighting-to-run-tp-link-wn422g-v2.html [01:08] why are some of the packages kept back instead of being installed? [01:08] the bad thing is sindegra is not here... he can test his settings and i think that vesa of a netbook will support the resolution he wanted [01:08] hall: one moment, pasting stuff for toy [01:08] lfitz: it probably has nothing to do with that rule then, i guess, some laptops have function keys to disable the touchpad, maybe you accidentaly pressed that button [01:08] JoeMaverickSett, are you referring to the kernel images? [01:09] j800r, yes. [01:09] i think they may have found bugs in it [01:09] how can i chanmge the animation at startup? [01:09] you can still install them if you allow proposed updates, but they obviously held them back to work on them [01:09] also, i want to change the login screen [01:10] icemaker, 1st you need to get the driver files for it for win2k/winXP [01:10] i tried dist-upgrade, but they are still being held back [01:10] any help on http://imagebin.ca/view/cHq684D.html [01:10] icemaker, then you can use the ndiswrapper gui, or command line , to have it load them [01:10] JoeMaverickSett, i told you why they're being held back, if you seriously want them regardless, you're gonna have to allow proposed updates [01:10] how can i run exe files ? [01:11] j800r, oh! ok. [01:11] JoeMaverickSett, just go to system, admin, software sources, then select the updates tab. you'll find the option there [01:11] wiesshund: ok i`ll try it and come back [01:11] j800r, thank you. [01:11] although personally i'd recommend against it. i updates the kernel and kinda regret it [01:11] *updated [01:12] i FINALLY got my family Mom and brothers using Ubuntu as their main PC in the living room [01:12] j800r, ok. ;) i just want to try. [01:12] so is anyone able to help me regarding my hard drive issue? [01:12] j800r: you'll need to add an entry to /etc/fstab for the drive to be mounted automatically. [01:12] JoeMaverickSett: you don't need to add proposed, if you don't see the updates now, they should be there soon (I can see them finally) === crow is now known as Guest58184 [01:12] ahh, ok [01:13] what a relief, not having to fix their stupid windows problems all the time, and slowdowns from all the viruses and trojans my mom would invariably download [01:13] now i actually trust it to back up my important data [01:13] and my mom is loving it [01:13] hey guys, how can i run a exe file ? [01:13] bastid_raZor, if i reinstalled ubuntu after formatting the storage drive to ext4, would i be able to install ubuntu to my main hd, and then set my home partition to be on my storage drive? [01:13] she thinks its much better and simpler then windows [01:13] exit [01:14] UberN00b, try Wine [01:14] lol @ glick [01:14] UberN00b, linux doesnt natively run windows .exe files [01:14] j800r: yes, but if you're reinstalling just to move your /home to a different partition yo udon't have to. [01:14] erm [01:14] glick, the problem is that its an add in to office 2007 [01:14] icemaker, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Main_Page [01:15] what is the name of the thing that makes the startup animation in ubuntu? [01:15] glick, im trying to run the SaveAsPDF.exe and wine cant touch it [01:15] UberN00b, have u got office 07 installed?? [01:15] UberN00b, FTW?! you dont need that in linux [01:15] i am using ubuntu server 9.10 32bit and its refusing to find some headers [01:15] :| [01:15] well, it would be for that purpose, but i haven't finished setting my ubuntu system up yet so it wouldn't be a HUGE deal to reinstall and i'm sure it'd be easier to set the directory that way [01:15] open office can do all that and more by default [01:15] trojan_spike of course :D [01:16] lol SaveAsPDF is an add on [01:16] hall: this needs to be in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/468227/ [01:16] is SaveWithoutManglingYourData.exe an extra add on as well? [01:16] and i just wont let u save it as a pdf?? [01:16] UberN00b, why are you using msoffice under linux? [01:16] glick, yeah but it appears that there is some discrepancy between the formating of ms office and open office [01:16] hall: but i can't find the correct driver name for your usb card [01:16] yeah UberN00b msoffice is completely unecessary [01:17] and when i open docs made in ms office with open office the text is scrumbled [01:17] UberN00b, OO.org can read 99% of office files correctly [01:17] especially the older files [01:17] UberN00b, what kina document is it? [01:17] doc [01:17] what was it made with? [01:17] glick, anything else unnecessary?? [01:18] doc? it should read doc with no problems [01:18] trojan_spike, ? [01:18] it doe read it correctly but the page is .. ermm smaller [01:18] never mind [01:18] and i adjusted it to be A4 size [01:18] ilovefairuz sry i got disconnected what did you say before about something in a hostapd file ? [01:18] but then if you use OO.org presentation file *.odp, it won't run on msoffice. [01:19] so save presentations in the office presentation format [01:19] oo.org can save as MS doc formats [01:19] UberN00b, what u can do is open the doc with-in open office.. edit , then save it from open office as a pdf.. open it pdf reader then [01:19] will it work as good as it's on msoffice [01:20] hall: basically you need to do four things: a) install and configure hostapd 2) install and configure dnsmasq 3) set static IP for wlan0 4) set up IP masquerading [01:20] JoeMaverickSett, will what work as good? [01:20] question - if i mount the same drive from a host machine in multiple VMs am i going to cause trouble if everybody's writing? any file locking etc. issues? [01:20] glick, using OO.org presentation to save as ms file type. [01:20] lots of trouble.. read / write [01:20] hall: i think there was a firewall program that could many of these things, firestarter ? [01:20] JoeMaverickSett, i think so [01:20] trojan_spike, thanks but i tried that. The thing is that I am working on my cv and certain ammount of information HAS to be on 1 page and oo.org's page is just not big enough [01:20] JoeMaverickSett, it should [01:20] glick, okie, thanks. [01:21] ilovefairuz it's a headlesss ubuntu server installation so can't use firestarter [01:21] trojan_spike: so i should export from one VM (fileserver) and mount everwhere else? [01:21] JoeMaverickSett, when i worked at boeing it was good enough for our presentations [01:21] hall: well then go the manual route as outlined [01:21] nfs etc [01:21] 1 at a time Mogga [01:21] is the reason the UUIDs are the same for linux_raid_member drives so mdadm knows which drives go together? [01:21] hall: the conf files for hostapd and dnsmasq can be very very minimal [01:21] glick, cool. i sometime kinda like OO.org presentation more. ;) more helpful in setting up the presentation. [01:21] UberN00b, did u install ms-office with 'play on linux'? [01:22] Can anyone recommend a good webcam recorder? Cheese lags. [01:22] ilovefairuz could you guide me through what i need to do or where to start ? :) [01:22] JoeMaverickSett, heh its come a long a way since StarOffice [01:22] which was god aweful [01:22] hall: this is an example of hostapd.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/468227/ .. but I can't find the correct name of the driver for rt73usb [01:22] lol the early versions [01:22] glick, :D [01:22] trojan_spike, im not sure I used wine with winetricks + the guidance of the #winehq people, cant recall anything named "play on linux" [01:23] oo.org has grown up :'( [01:23] trojan_spike: only mount one drive at a time as a local mount /dev/vda /dev/vdb etc. but then i can do nfs exports etc and nfs/samba/etc mount on other machines? [01:23] hall: next is dnsmasq.conf.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/468228/ (notice the choosen network range) make sure that doesn't conflict with something you have [01:23] UberN00b, u should use play on linux to install windows software.. [01:24] once you get used to it, ubuntu, is a much simpler system to use than windows [01:24] i dont know if thats still true [01:24] wiesshund: i am trying to install it like u said . what files shoud i intall? .sys/.cat/.inf? [01:24] i havent tried 7 [01:24] hall: third is setting static IP and stuff (192.168.2.1) for wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces [01:24] trojan_spike: thank you by the way... i'm actually on canonical support but my package doesn't support any virtualization even though this is really just a basic IO question [01:24] but i remember i hated vista [01:24] torjan_spike, so you think that wine doesnt run it properly ? [01:24] i've been only running linux since '01 [01:25] hall: fourth is enabling ipv4 forwarding and setting ip tables to forward packages [01:26] UberN00b, 'play on linux' was made by the developers that made wine.. This will improve the way windows software work on wine.. [01:26] hall: http://users.utu.fi/sjsepp/hostapd/hostap.html covers a LOT of these [01:26] u want the link?? [01:26] hall: adapt to your needs [01:26] would be nice if they released civ5 on linux as well [01:26] but i know itll never happen [01:26] :/ [01:27] trojan_spike I've been referred to improved versions of wine before, unfortunately paid software, is that the case as well ? [01:27] snowy17 [01:27] lawl [01:27] ilovefairuz i'll look into it. shame it just doesnt work with mode master that way it would work allrdy :(( but thx for the help [01:27] hall: the process is rather lengthy but not hard [01:27] busy room [01:27] hall: you're welcome [01:27] do u mean u paid for wine?? or paid for something like 'crossover'?? [01:28] someone tried to convince me to pay for something other than wine [01:28] UberN00b, cedega? [01:28] but now i got wine free, but is play on linux free as well ? [01:28] UberN00b: yes [01:28] i was about to get to that [01:28] does WUBI not allow you to do an actualy naitive linux install? [01:29] UberN00b, this is ur link :: http://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/PlayOnLinux/3.7.6/PlayOnLinux_3.7.6.deb :: trust me,, it will make things easier [01:29] j800r, i think not, not sure though [01:29] wiesshund: suspend for one thing. [01:29] when trying to upgrade 9.10->10.04 I get this error: The package 'skype-common' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist. [01:29] yes, PlayOnLinux is a frontend for Wine, and it's brilliant [01:29] Erm. Hi? [01:29] it's actually kinda better than Cedega, and it's free [01:29] Odd-rationale, hmm? [01:29] anyways, time to format one huge drive. [01:29] Kunin: unblacklist it then, there should be a function in synaptic [01:29] wiesshund: suspend and hibernate don't work well in WUBI. [01:30] adamkex I would looking for a blacklist option, but couldn't find one [01:30] Odd-rationale, no im asking if there is not a way to do a real linux install fromt he win installer? [01:30] Kunin: ok hold on, let me look into it [01:30] Odd-rationale, or only the compressed pseudo install in the win file system [01:30] which it's best of kdenlive, cinelerra or openshot? [01:30] wiesshund: ndiswrapper tells me the driver is invalid [01:31] !best [01:31] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:31] trojan_spike, thanks im on it now [01:31] icemaker, then that driver wont work, and possibly the card is not supported [01:31] Any one know how to restore xserverp-xorg? I installed pulsbo on the direction of ubuntu wiki and it unstalled the devault compiz drivers, but now my computer doesnt load into ubuntu just sits a black screen [01:31] ur welcome UberN00b [01:31] adamkex I would thinking of just doing a --purge on skype [01:31] wiesshund: oh. misread... You can move the wubi install to a linux partition. thus making it just like a native install. [01:31] is there some trick to get inbuilt microphones in laptops working, or is linux unable to do this? I selected everything in my sound control and turned it up, but nothing [01:31] Is theholder in here? [01:32] no [01:32] Kunin: go ahead, you can redownload it on skype.com, it doesn't seem to be in the repos, just do a "dpkg -i skype_whatever.deb" to install it [01:32] wiesshund: so nothing i can do to get it working? [01:32] Odd-rationale, so the answer is no it wont do a real install. meh hehe [01:33] icemaker, then if the mfg provides no linux driver, no the device probably isnt going to work [01:33] adamkex ok, I'll try that, thanks === emc_ is now known as emc [01:34] wiesshund: mega bummer . thanks anyway [01:34] Kunin: oh, you need add sudo before dpkg when installing again, good luck [01:36] identify hinterlader88 [01:36] guten morgen [01:36] lol [01:36] ^^ [01:36] ja ich hatte mich dummerweise verschrieben :D [01:36] phoonz, change your password [01:36] hab getan :D [01:36] nein [01:36] !de | phoonz [01:36] phoonz: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[01:36] ist nicht morgan [01:38] my machine keeps freezing up , I then need to do a soft reboot to get it back, how can I trace the source of the problem ? [01:39] wx9j: dmesg [01:39] what was that? [01:39] /ns id jagexred [01:39] what ejv said [01:39] FUCK [01:39] !language | Niglop [01:39] Niglop: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:39] some kind of monkey! [01:39] Niglop, watch the language [01:39] though dmesg | tail is probably easier to look at [01:40] lol @ the two pwds [01:40] how do i change my password? [01:40] Niglop, ask in #freenode [01:40] passwd [01:40] anyways... anyone here know if the logging location for iptables can be changed? [01:40] Niglop: join #freenode, request sendpass [01:41] or /msg nickserv help setpass [01:41] dunno why you'd bother staff with such a meaningless problem lol [01:41] wx9j have you changed/installed anything since this freeze started happening? === emc_ is now known as emc === les is now known as Guest66607 [01:42] * uRock thinks [01:42] wx9j it could be hardware related too [01:42] Why is webchat.freenode.net being detected as proxy? [01:42] Kunin, I have changed versions of the os but then changed back to see if that was the cause, it was not difference [01:43] Kunin, It almost acks like it is running out of mem but this box has 2 gig [01:43] wx9j in my experience, most freezes and crashes are hardware related, normally RAM or PSU failure [01:43] Solow-Laptop: its not the webchat thats being detected, its you. it checks your IP afaik [01:43] could be "ghosts in the machine" like iRobot [01:43] ;) [01:43] PSU ? [01:43] wx9j do you have your ubuntu install disk still? [01:43] wx9j, do you have htop installed? [01:43] PSU = power supply unit [01:43] EvilPhoenix: But I'm not using a proxy :S [01:44] xcx [01:44] test [01:44] Solow-Laptop: there's always #freenode where you can ask [01:44] haha Yes I have most of the Ubuntu discs around here , I am now using 9.10 === administrator is now known as Guest74867 [01:44] :) furious [01:44] wx9j the ubuntu install disk has memtest on it, could run that and see if there's RAM failure if you can't find any software cause, or just download memtest86+ and burn to CD [01:44] uRock, not even sure what that is [01:44] Can someone help me with Pitivi Video Editor? [01:45] htop is a nice CLI to view things like memory/cpu usage and running processes [01:45] it is a system monitor that runs in terminal and tells what utilities are using how much CPU and RAM [01:45] it's like top, but prettier [01:45] btw I must say, I like ubuntu 9 better than 10 [01:45] hello [01:45] hello, mylky [01:45] which version 9? [01:45] I will do that , I did check that a few weeks ago but will try again, what version has that test on the cd ? [01:45] solow-laptop shhhh... I'm upgrading to 10.04 now [01:46] wx9j every one that I can think of has it on there, it's one of the boot options [01:46] Kunin, it is worth it. It is beautiful. [01:46] EvilPhoenix: http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-security@lists.gentoo.org/msg00367.html ? [01:46] I want to switch from debian too ubuntu but my CD drive is down and my bios sees out of date. [01:46] Ok well I wll do that and thanks, [01:46] wx9j it might say test memory, test ram, memtest... something like that, I don't remember [01:46] I cant do a live usb. [01:46] Does anyone know how to edit a video in Pitivi and save as ogv? [01:46] how can i flash my bios upto date ? [01:46] I'm not upgrading on my laptop... It's removing my wlan support. Which I've been fighting to get working for 2 weeks. btw I'm using 9.10 [01:46] same here, my own memory seems to need replacing, thanks [01:47] mylky, if your Debian install is working, then you can use unetbootin [01:47] I'm going to 10.04 mainly for the new kernel, my main OS drive is a SSD [01:47] I only use my laptop to program. [01:48] So it could just as well be windows 3.01 [01:48] Solow-Laptop, I loved Karmic and I still have it on the wife and kid's systems [01:48] CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH PITIVI?? [01:48] btw, anyone know how I can shrink a partition and grow another... when i installed the netbook remix on my Eee I accidentally swapped the intended partition sizes, root is running out of space [01:48] * uRock Thinks it is time to get back to my homework. [01:49] Kunin, LiveCD and Gparted [01:49] 4th post from bottom is http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/issues/detail?id=28 what I owuld liek to do can anyone help me [01:49] uRock there would be the problem, Eee, no CD drive [01:49] That would be a problem. [01:49] mylky: depends on the BIOS vendor, check their website [01:50] !ot | les_ [01:50] les_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:50] uRock: the look and feel are a lot... better imo. Although windows look and feel has something, a bit more... you know :) ubuntu is not that simple. like using backspace in the browser, or flag e to get explorer, games, photoshop.. and the general look and feel. But I like ubuntu :) [01:50] almost done getting new packages... [01:50] !anyone | les_ [01:50] les_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:51] okay, thanks, I'm new to irc, so no clue about protocol. [01:51] les_, ask a question about pitivi [01:51] anybody know of any OCR software with a GUI for Linux? [01:51] I'll check out the offtopic channel someone recommended [01:51] les_, its fine to ask here [01:51] OCR? [01:51] les_, ask here :) [01:52] how can i get ubuntu on a USB stick from Arch? [01:52] i have been trying unsuccessfully for 10 hours [01:52] programble, unetbootin [01:52] bazhang: unetbootin is broken [01:52] arg, an hour to install all these new packages... guess I'll go to the dishes [01:52] hasn't worked for months [01:52] programble, not so [01:53] bazhang: i just tried with unetbootin, and the BIOS does not even see the USB as bootable [01:53] ilovefairuz: thats for gentoo, i need it for Ubuntu [01:53] programble, sometimes takes a couple of tries [01:53] i have a usb key thats not mounting when i plug it in how would i locate it ? [01:53] anyone know where syslog configs are stored? [01:53] programble: not all BIOS can boot off USB [01:53] are there any good fan controls?? i have water cooling,, fans going 90 [01:53] EvilPhoenix: same concepts apply [01:54] ilovefairuz: the file doesnt exist hence the issue [01:54] Kunin: i know it can, im not an idiot [01:54] programble: that or you could have done something wrong too :P [01:54] well that is possible with how retarded unetbootin has gotten [01:54] EvilPhoenix: /etc/syslog.conf ? [01:54] What is one of the default or most common directory paths linux/ubuntu users install applications to? [01:54] Uhh..

[02:01] programble: Because they don't want people whiping out their hard drives when they mess up with dd (and unetbootin and Ubuntu's own tool work fine with the netbook images). [02:02] !anyone [02:02] What is your problem, anon_? [02:02] Jordan_U: oh god. and here i was thinking i joined #ubuntu not ##windows [02:02] programble, watch the attitude [02:02] and ubuntu's own tool only works if you are ALREADY RUNNING ubuntu [02:02] Okay so, when i open in program, it opens in 3 in the task manger, if i minimize it, they all minimize, why?

[02:05] anon_: are all three "windows" the same ? [02:05] Jordan_U: i like how the downloads page only has windows mac or ubuntu [02:06] Jordan_U: that didn't work, as i said 3 times already [02:06] If i open XChat, i get 3 of them in the tray [02:06] IF i open FF, i get three of them in the tray [02:06] but they're only 1 prog.

[02:08] Jordan_U: again, already said, the partition is indeed marked with the boot flag [02:09] how can i change my ip adress using an adsl connection? [02:09] programble: Not sure where you'd post it, but if you can post the first sector of flash drive it would be usefull to be able to look at it. [02:09] BidaBoy: disconnect and reconnect [02:09] why [02:09] Jordan_U: uh.. yeah, where would i post that?

[03:04] also they worked in windows 7 [03:04] subspider: no idea what that does. [03:04] wiesshund: let met check that out. [03:04] sindegra, it give you cmd === brishu_ is now known as brishu [03:05] sindegra, if you do it now [03:05] subspider: you mean, ctrl+alt+f5? [03:05] sindegra, to start x again press ctrl + f7 [03:06] sindegra, maybe i usaully press ctrl + f5 [03:06] subspider, i think he wants the machine to boot to a text console only, unless i misunderstood [03:06] wiesshund: you're correct. [03:07] sindegra, just need to look over that page, to change the run levels [03:07] wiesshund, but what is the advantage ?? [03:07] BidaBoy, no I dont think so... but I have to break here ...sorry...I will be back in a few minutes :) [03:07] coz_ ok [03:07] wiesshund, can you give me the page to i would like to see that [03:07] subspider, lot of people dont need the gui for certain things [03:08] subspider, http://caulfield.info/emmet/2008/03/add-a-textonly-runlevel-to-ubu.html [03:08] thnks :) [03:09] if i was runnign soemthing besides a desktop, id probably not have it boot to gui either [03:09] wiesshund: um. don't we have ctl alt f1 ~f6 for the cli? [03:09] littlebear: that's how it works for me [03:09] sindegra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [03:10] sindegra: exactly, I usually use the regular for gui and f1 to f6 for my cli needs [03:10] programble: Can you pastebin the output of "file -ks /dev/sdX1" (the first partition this time)? [03:10] littlebear, that doesnt do anything though until after the fact [03:10] wiesshund: O.o, it's just a few seconds [03:10] Jordan_U: http://gist.github.com/488316 [03:10] so no other suggestions? [03:10] Jordan_U: IT WORKED!! thank you so much [03:10] hello back [03:11] Dean101: You're welcome :) [03:11] slip between both! [03:11] check [03:12] Mr_Sonoma: that tut seems to assume grub1, not grub2, and I'm not quite sure how to do it in grub 2 [03:12] wiesshund, these very usefull man [03:12] ah [03:12] let me look again then LOL [03:13] wiesshund, thnks because i have lubuntu over there as print server [03:13] hmm, this doesn't look good [03:13] programble: This will only work if the unetbootin / startup disk creator app is doing things in what is IMHO the wrong way (aside from also being broken in your case). But try "install-mbr /dev/sdX". [03:13] upgraded 9.10->10.04 now it's sitting at disk drive for /dev/md0 is not read yet or not present, I try to hit M as prompted to manually mount it but it does nothing [03:13] in fact... it seems like my wireless keyboard isn't doing anything [03:14] Jordan_U: happen to know what package that would be in on Arch? [03:16] i cant recive or send emails with evolution on hotmail acount [03:16] does anyone else have an acer aspire 5740 that has Ubuntu working with brightness control? [03:16] anyone nkow how to get wine to run eve-online ? i've looked at some articles but can't get it to get past the splash screen [03:17] ok... crap... wireless (logitech) keyboard not working, I don't have a physical connection to use temporarily, and system won't boot fully due to fstab/rdadm not auto-mounting my raid arrays... anyone have an idea? [03:17] Sunzaru, hi maybe i can help [03:17] wiesshund: I figured it out. [03:18] wiesshund: I just booted rebooted and started in tty1 [03:18] sindegra, nice :) [03:18] although you have to edit not menu.lst if you have grub2 [03:18] sindegra, cool [03:18] sindegra: oh you found a method, i was just testing one out... [03:18] thune3: did it work? [03:19] sindegra: i just moved /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.noexec . That prevented the gui from starting, and led right to terminal. [03:19] programble: Not off hand, the project is unfortunately simply named "mbr" and source code can be found here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~neilt/ [03:20] i have 3 diferent recovery at star up [03:20] is that normal [03:20] programble: I think that syslinux has similar boot sector code and a command to install it. [03:21] sindegra, good, i had just found a wiki on grub2 that i thought maybe would help. but now it looks like you dont need it LOL [03:21] thune3: nice. I edited /etc/default/grub and added the text boot option, then ran sudo grub-update (I have grub2) [03:22] Mr_Sonoma: figured it all out on my own. Apparently the boot options from grub1 are pretty much the same as grub2. === hasen_ is now known as hasen [03:22] programble: You can also just try chainloading the first partition from grub or any other bootloader. === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat [03:22] 3 diferent recivery at start up what thats mean ? [03:23] Jordan_U: the computer i plan to use this on eventually will have windows 7 on it, so thats not an option [03:23] sindegra: yeah, i think the text boot option is probably the best. Then "start gdm" will just launch your gui without intervention. [03:23] sindegra, yea but reading that wiki looks like menu.lst has been replaced by 2 files, one of witch is not user editable [03:23] why the new 64bits version are not for daily users? === geowany is now known as The_Vampyre [03:24] Jordan_U: it says this is not a bootable disk (trying in qemu) [03:24] Mr_Sonoma: yes. the /etc/default/grub file is editable, which is the one I changed. [03:24] Quick question: when I delete or move files, df and nautilus don't report any more free space, even after a reboot. What's happening? [03:24] programble: I meant to test it out. Basically you currently have no boot code at all in your mbr, a microsoft style mbr just chainloads the first partition marked "active". [03:24] jats, did you empty the trash bin? [03:24] wiesshund: yep. [03:25] Jordan_U: i think im just going to have to burn a cd, boot it, then use the usb creation tool [03:26] Kk2: Not all computers support 64-bit Operating systems like Ubuntu. Also, some drivers and programs don't work on 64-bit linux. === Zeike is now known as brandonj [03:26] i have a g-pen f610 and whenever i "click" (press the pen tip) it will then act weird until i pull the pen out of range [03:27] Kk2, that's a poorly worded web page. 64bits is fine [03:27] programble: If unetbootin and Ubuntu's tool really aren't writing a bootable mbr (simply assuming that a microsoft style one already exists, which to be fair is true for most drives) then it's a bug that needs to be fixed. If you could confirm that this is the case it would be helpfull. [03:27] This probably is redundant, but other programs are reporting they can't write to disk either. [03:28] Jordan_U: at this point i think the usb creator didn't work because i was runing it on arch.. it required a fair bit of hacking to even get it to half work [03:28] what is the ubuntu equivalent of asoundconf? [03:28] programble: What about unetbootin though? [03:28] Kk2, bazhang is right, it should probably be worded "not recommended for people unsure if their computer supports 64-bit programing. [03:28] Jordan_U: i have no idea [03:28] jats: i suspect your fs has errors and needs to be fsck-ed. You can look at dmesg log or /var/log/syslog for your drive letter to see if an error is reported. [03:28] programble: That should work fine in arch. [03:29] I just installed Ubuntu for the first time and I'm trying to figure out a few things. I hope this is the place to com to find patient people that have answers...:) The first thing I'm trying to do is run a program SpyNoMore from http://spynomore.com and I can't seem to get it to install. I'm starting there, because my computer had a VERY stubborn virus that required removing the partitions from the fixed disk...so welcome t [03:29] thune3: thanks, I'll try that. [03:29] http://pastebin.com/b95Bd1QY can anyone help me do that? [03:29] newubuntu10_04us: anti-spyware is not needed on ubuntu [03:29] programble: If you wait a minute I can give you a small disk image that you can use to test my theory in qemu. [03:30] Jordan_U: sure [03:30] how to safely remove u stick with command? [03:30] I love your confidence programable. [03:30] newubuntu10_04us: ask anyone :P [03:30] newubuntu10_04us, is that a windows program? ubuntu is not windows ;) [03:30] newubuntu10_04us: I don't think any anti-spyware apps run on Ubuntu. [03:30] newubuntu10_04us: it seems incredible but true. you really don't need spyware. [03:31] newubuntu10_04us: and not only because all the spyware is focused on windows platforms [03:31] So, does that mean there are no apps developed? I don't know if it's windows only or not. That is why I came here. I figured someone would either know or be able to direct me to a valuable product. [03:31] newubuntu: Unfortunately, I don't think you can automatically remove spyware from a windows partition from within Ubuntu. [03:31] oaf: umount /path/to/usbstick [03:31] newubuntu10_04us, you don't need anti spyware on ubuntu [03:31] newubuntu10_04us: there's like linux spyware discovered once ever 5 years [03:32] newubuntu10_04us: or probably less! [03:32] jats: my windows partition is GONE...I removed the whole partition table before booting to the U disk. [03:32] newubuntu10_04us: then you dont need anti-spyware or anti-virus [03:32] bastidrazor: i use that command but it's is different with i click in a gui [03:32] newubuntu10_04us, then install ubuntu and have no fear! :D [03:32] newubuntu10_04us, you can install a rootkit hunter if you wish. there is ZERO need for anti-spyware [03:32] does anyone else have an acer aspire 5740 that has Ubuntu working with brightness control? [03:32] newubuntu10_04: Ubuntu can be used to fix Windows partitions, so that's what I thought you might have been doing. [03:33] programble: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/chainload.iso use it as a virtual CD. [03:33] oaf: how so? do both methods unmount the usb stick? [03:33] Mr_Sonoma I'm running from my new Ubuntu installation right now. [03:33] i am back [03:34] bastidrazor: i test this two method , the command way can not completely remove u stick [03:34] what's the best movie player for ubuntu? [03:34] Jordan_U: what exactly do you want me to do? [03:34] ssbpls: mplayer, maybe? [03:34] bazhang: Is there one you'd recommend? Or a site with sw recommendations? [03:34] oaf: can you be more specific? [03:34] ok [03:34] ssbpls: vlc, probably. [03:35] newubuntu10_04us, from the repos chkrootkit and rkhunter [03:35] use the ubuntu tweek to get it? [03:35] !software > newubuntu10_04us [03:35] newubuntu10_04us, please see my private message [03:35] newubuntu10_04us, you should really have a read of the ubuntu manual [03:35] bastidrazor: i have said it.that command can not safely remove u stick like clicking in a gui [03:35] !manual | newubuntu10_04us [03:35] newubuntu10_04us: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [03:35] bazhang: Awesome...thanks!! [03:36] ssbpls: VLC does audio just as well and is cross-platform (if you run other OS's) [03:36] programble: qemu -cdrom chainload.iso /dev/sdX [03:36] <<<< Thanks bazhang!! [03:36] guess not [03:36] jats:thank u ,in my computer,i have there OS [03:37] jats:three [03:37] Jordan_U: it wont boot from the CD with the USB in there :\ [03:37] ssbpls: you're welcome! [03:37] oaf: explain how it does not. umount is the command to unmount drives/partitions [03:39] bastidrazor: i click that icon of u stick and select safely remove.the folder in /media/u disappear.but when i use command, the folder still at there. [03:39] when i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 i got this error gblib error 323 [03:39] what is that [03:39] oaf: what is the exact command your using? [03:39] of cause umount !! [03:40] oaf: maybe try copy-pasting what you put in and the results you got from that [03:40] programble: It should. If it isn't then try "kvm -cdrom chainload.iso -hda /dev/sdX -boot d" [03:40] no [03:40] when i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 i got this error gblib error 323 [03:40] sindegra: no [03:40] Jordan_U: my CPU doesn't support KVM [03:41] How can I view the screen, or at least what was said, that is there immediately before login? [03:41] sindegra: i have stop all progress [03:41] oaf umount by itself can not magically determine what you want to unmount. you have to tell it what to do. [03:41] bastidrazor: god, i of cause use that command , umount /media/u [03:42] bastidrazor: is it right? [03:42] Jordan_U: i had this other idea. do you know how to get a vm in vbox see my usb stick? [03:42] hmm, after upgrading to 10.04 one of my drives isn't mounting which breaks my raid array... [03:42] oaf: yes, did the icon disappear from your desktop? unless you've changed things anything mounted in /media will appear there. [03:43] bastidrazor: i have said that it have not disappeared [03:43] Jordan_U: also, with the chainloader iso, it still says its not a bootable disk [03:44] bastidrazor: so i think that command is different with click gui [03:44] when i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 i got this error glib error 323 [03:44] * programble gives up [03:44] bazhang: I can't seem to figure out where chkrootkit put it's icon or perhaps it runs from the terminal? [03:44] i have spent literally all day and some of last night trying to do this [03:44] oaf: read the manpage of umount: man umount [03:45] newubuntu10_04us, its a terminal (cli ) program, just type the name and let it run; there may be a false positive or so, don;t be alarmed [03:45] bastidrazor: ok, i have read it. === an is now known as Guest98707 [03:45] programble: If this works then it's just a matter of installing "mbr" in archlinux. [03:45] bazhang: cool [03:45] bastidrazor: ok, forget it [03:45] bastidrazor: i google it [03:46] oaf: okay, best of luck. [03:46] Jordan_U: what works? [03:46] when i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 i got this error glib error 323 [03:46] programble: "kvm -cdrom chainload.iso -hda /dev/sdX -boot d" [03:46] iluminatior101: have you tried googling it? [03:47] yea no luck [03:47] hey, reboot worked... the M$ fix shouldn't work on linux! [03:47] Jordan_U: that didnt work [03:48] Does anyone know how I can get an invite to #php [03:48] room [03:48] plouffe, register [03:48] j #php [03:48] plouffe, /join #freenode [03:49] It's ##php [03:49] !register > plouffe [03:49] plouffe, please see my private message [03:49] that bot is cool [03:49] ok thanks [03:49] ##php didn't work [03:49] jats if it was a bad burn or disk it would have booted up and went this far right or... [03:49] illuminator101: I don't know offhand...Is glib "error 323" all that comes up? [03:50] plouffe: you need to be registed to join #php [03:50] illuminator101: It probably would have errored out sooner if the disk/burn was bad. [03:51] plouffe, see my msg ok [03:51] Hi. How do i change the precidence that I autoconnect to wireless networks? [03:52] are there settings i can change regarding my pen tablet? [03:54] help! [03:54] programble: What happened? [03:54] what's the matter? [03:54] I am trying to figure out how to reorganize the order that the wireless autoconnect works in [03:54] rallias: right click on the nm-applet in the panel and uncheck Connect Automatically in the profiles of the network [03:56] hello, I'm ubuntu first user I want to install jdownload it says 1. wget must be installed on system! 2. Download jd.sh 3. chmod +x jd.sh 4.start jd.sh, how can I chmod +x jd.sh ? [03:56] programble: I need to leave for about an hour, but chainload.iso is definitely bootable. [03:56] * uRock Exiting stage left.... [03:57] PureSine: it means, use chmod +x jd.sh in the terminal [03:57] that adds execution permissions to the file [03:57] thanks, I try that [03:58] Jordan_U: yes, it is. after i choose the "chainload blah blah" from the menu, it says that [03:58] you can achieve the same effec in nautilus though [03:58] 5 [03:58] what's the other system tool except ubuntu tweek? [03:58] by finding the file, right clicking, Going to Properties then Permissions and toggling the Execution part [03:59] ssbpls: uh... gconf-editor?

Mango is darn tasty. [04:08] can i just paste that in fstab? [04:08] Bogus8: thi instructions here (which should use checkinstall instead of make install) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310511, seem to indicate that the first command you give to fuppes is 'r', and 'v' to set things up. I'm no expert and just refer you to instructions on that page. [04:09] well I tried to change the permission of the downloaded file but after running that nothing happened. maybe I don't have wget on my system as it had been indicated. anyway I don't find any executable file in its address https://launchpad.net/~jd-team/+archive/jdownloader, as I said I'm ubuntu first user and I am not familiar with extensions like gz,.... I was looking for .exe files [04:09] nullwire: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [04:09] thune3: thanks for the effort but you probably got to that page because of my post which is the last one referring to this problem [04:10] google was amazingly fast indexing that page (less than 20 mins after I posted) [04:10] tyvm [04:10] thune3: that IS the guide that I followed :( [04:10] bastidrazor: What does quiet splash do? [04:10] PureSine: linux doesn't use .exe files to indicate executables. [04:10] lastly, when i type name: message in irc does it automatically highlight it for the person im sending to? [04:10] Bogus8: i actaully got there through http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling_on_Ubuntu_Linux [04:10] PureSine: a file has either the permission +x (executable) or not [04:11] thune3: same as me then [04:11] nullwire: test [04:11] PureSine: if it does you run it in the terminal with ./filename when you're in the correct directory [04:11] sindegra, can you tell me where in the address should I click to get jdownwloader please ?

[04:43] with all the kernels found on /boot/ [04:43] jaimed, i have multiple installs of ubuntu on my hardisk - how does grub2 know which of those grub files to read?

[04:45] jaimed, yes [04:46] blitzo, I believe you may have to rename some of them but for that you may have to ask someone more proficient with grub2 or maybe on #grub channel [04:46] coz_ at last, a voice from the wilderness :-) [04:46] blitzo, :) [04:46] sindegra, I can't modify because I doln't have permission and I can't change permission because I'm not the owner of sources.list :( [04:47] blitzo, I know they can be renamed but I am not that proficient with grub2 and dont want to lead you in the wrong direction [04:47] PureSine: I should hve told you about that. sorry. [04:47] blitzo, see msg window [04:47] blitzo, you could also google grub2 rename grub list items [04:47] blitzo, you have a /boot directory for each install?

[04:50] waterboy0911, did you open a terminal and tyep sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:50] waterboy0911: Use the program "Update Manager" [04:50] it says that it was caused by upgrading to a pre-release version of ubuntu.. what does this means? [04:50] PureSine: Same as ubuntu, but you might have the page you're copying from open at the same time [04:50] ok, sindegra i found an article about that, i had the opposite issue, my 140x900 screen was not working, you need to test the settings from grub and adjust accordingly [04:50] that is what I am using.. [04:50] I got photos.. wait [04:50] How do I start a csh shell in ubuntu? [04:51] anyone familliar with VPN connections? I'm having problems connecting to my VPN server with my ubuntu client, and I have no idea why. [04:51] cablop: with vbeinfo? [04:51] uRock, do you have csh installed? [04:51] http://s641.photobucket.com/albums/uu136/waterboy0911/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-2-1.png [04:51] don't know [04:51] Huh, seems to lead to broken pages. Maybe that's not such a good link. [04:51] sindegra if you want to know you just need to run the command vbeinfo from the grub console to see he supported modes of your vesa... or to run hwinfo --framebuffer [04:51] uRock, type csh at command line [04:51] I have some packages that need to be installed and aptitude says #Broken:2 Will use 61.4kB of disk space. How do I make sure it doesn't keep restarting erroring out about stuff? http://pastie.org/private/gncuhqze38ksvmdiyum6yw [04:51] yes that thing, sindegra [04:51] sudo apt-get install csh [04:51] thax blitzo [04:51] uRock, if it isn't there it'll tell you to get it [04:51] waterboy0911, mmm well it does ask to try again later [04:51] k [04:51] uRock, one other [04:51] waterboy0911, I would still open a terminal and try sudo apt-get update [04:52] uRock, to make it your default shell edit /etc/passwd [04:52] I try to update using terminal first.. but I got errors.. now I did try using the update manager.. still I have this problem [04:52] sindegra, E: Couldn't find package jdownloader [04:52] ok.. I'll try it again.. [04:52] bullgard04 http://cve.mitre.org [04:52] You can also "cat /etc/shells" or "dpkg -l csh" or "ls /bin/*sh" [04:52] PureSine: you added the lines? [04:52] yes [04:52] blitzo, just playing with them to see the differences. Thanx [04:52] waterboy0911, ok open system/administration/synatpic package manager [04:52] PureSine: I am going to try it here and see if it works [04:52] uRock, huge differences [04:52] then [04:53] uRock: If you're familiar with bash, csh will be totally alien to you. [04:53] I amn in the synaptic package manager [04:53] waterboy0911, under the Edit menu choose Fix broken packages [04:53] uRock: chsh scripts also does that [04:53] PureSine: just a sec [04:53] waterboy0911: did you installed packages from outside ubuntu repos? [04:53] waterboy0911, see if any show up if not...then click the Reload button and when that is done click the Mark all upgrades button [04:53] where can I see fix [04:53] gdb, I am taking a unix/linux intro class [04:53] this could be the problem [04:53] i see [04:53] waterboy0911, then hit the Apply button [04:54] yep.. got it.. but what's next?

Does that mean that this database is issued by a ministry of the USA... [04:54] ...government? [04:54] uRock, usually they would focus on sh derivatives because all system shells are written in it [04:54] I have found plenty of docs explaining how to connect ubuntu to a windows network. But can anyone tell me how to create a network between 2 ubuntu computers. NOOB here [04:54] uRock: Ah, okay! Sounds fun. :-) If, during the course of that, you find you like csh, I'd recommend going with tcsh instead. [04:54] but, sindegra i was reading you need to set the gfspayload to something your vesa support, and i think the vesa of those small devices could support that resolution [04:54] kool, thanx all [04:54] bullgard4: yes [04:54] i'm on a netbook now, but never trie ubuntu here [04:54] uRock, another shell to look at is called fish, google for it [04:55] well... [04:55] jaimed, gdb: Thank you very much for your help. [04:55] k, I plan to try Korn too [04:55] how can i start a remote desktop session? [04:55] cablop: no idea sir. I just solved my problems by using the intel framebuffer I have. [04:55] do I need to click this all? [04:55] uRock, korn is ksh [04:55] uRock: i hope you mean ksh93. ksh88 is *pain* [04:55] cablop: which behaves a lot better than vesa. [04:55] critt, like file sharing? [04:55] waterboy0911, all? [04:55] uRock, which backwards compat with bash and sh [04:55] coz yes [04:55] do I have to install all of this? in the synaptic [04:55] Is VNC the best way to do remote desktop between 2 linux machines? [04:55] sindegra if you have a link drop me it, please, i'm planning to move my netbook to win7 or ubuntu depending on which one is easier [04:56] critt, right click folder for example, pick sharing options [04:56] waterboy0911, if it is going to install stuff then yes you were doing a distribution upgrade [04:56] ohh I got an erro.. wait..

[04:56] critt, to see things on your network click places network [04:56] redlance: i'm making same question... but geting no answers [04:56] I can see the windows network but thers nothing listed there to connect the ubuntu computers [04:56] I did that [04:56] cablop: don't really have a link. sorry. My problems were more of a phantom that I myself created than actually existing.

[05:01] waterboy0911, then click the Other software tab [05:01] cablop: No problem. [05:01] shawncm217: dunno, i installed the language packs and there were no en-us in ubuntu, and it installed me too many spanish ones [05:02] PureSine: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader [05:02] next?

[05:02] asking again... what's the best alternative to logmein? but to see an existoing graphic session? no to start a new one [05:02] yeah I see [05:03] there are 5 of them [05:03] bastidrazor: oh shoot you're right. [05:03] how can I do a real format of a drive from the ubuntu boot disk... am i not able to because I need to mount the dive? [05:03] i need to be able to see aprogram that runs in a sesion that is always openned, sometimes remotely, from internet... [05:03] cablop: idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 [05:03] ................ is invalid :/ I read and know where to find the documents and have looked....... it was working up till the last reboot then nothing [05:03] waterboy0911, grab the corner of that dialog and reisze it so you can see each line in it's entirety [05:03] PureRazor: before running the sudo apt-get install jdownloader run "sudo apt-get update" [05:03] PureSine: before running the sudo apt-get install jdownloader run "sudo apt-get update" [05:03] yeah done [05:03] PureSine: my bad [05:04] waterboy0911, any line that does NOT say lucid un check that box [05:04] dominicdinada: it seems you are using a very complex configuraion.. [05:04] Has anyone else experienced 10.04 randomly booting into CLI and not starting GDM? I will repost this every couple of minutes until I get a response. [05:04] hahaha.. everything is not lucid [05:04] waterboy0911, rather any line that does not say karmic or lucid [05:05] like at the end of each http//:? [05:05] by real I think I mean to say low level format of the drive... [05:05] waterboy0911, well issnt there a check box in front of http? [05:05] waterboy0911: if you have a very specific system, then don't upgrade all to lucid yet [05:05] yeah there is.. but where can I see lucid or karmic? [05:06] waterboy0911, it would look similar to this http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu lucid main [05:06] No I don't have that.. [05:06] how can i start via ssh a graphic program into an existing session? [05:07] waterboy0911, that was a bad example but that is where the work lucid would be located abouts [05:07] mfillpot, the answer is no. and if you spam post the question your not gonna be well liked [05:07] waterboy0911, no you wont have that link there but you see the word lucid there? [05:07] sindegra, thanks, it seems it is downloading something :) [05:07] I have this packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf dapper free non-free [05:07] PureSine: about darn time. it took waaay too long. [05:07] no lucid.. [05:07] waterboy0911, ok uncheck that one [05:08] dapper is really far gone now [05:08] waterboy0911, are there mostly karmic links? [05:08] ahh yeah I have one.. archive.canocal.com/ubuntu lucid [05:08] waterboy0911, ok that one stays checked [05:08] and I have here ubuntu hardy [05:08] wiesshund, if people responded then it wouldn't be necessary. and it looks like another random ubuntu issue that I will have to find and fix myself [05:08] togdar, eh you mean like fdisk? [05:08] waterboy0911, oh [05:08] then everything uncheck [05:08] cablop: I thought i used the default samba built in configuration tools via port 900 [05:08] waterboy0911, ooooo [05:09] ok so I will uncheck everything except for the lucid [05:09] wiesshund: yeah - thanks. Suppose I thought id have same option from 'Disk Utility' [05:09] waterboy0911, this is where "house visits" would be handy [05:09] mfillpot, well ya know, nobody here is getting paid, but if you wanna shell out some cash im sure someone will run to your whim. [05:09] I don't get it.. [05:09] dominicdinada: i was doing a little samba thing today, but didn't need uids or anything [05:09] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/fix-symbol-grubputs-not-found-when.html here is the answer to my problem. [05:09] waterboy0911, well I am not clear on which version of ubuntu you actually have there [05:10] togdar, ive never looked there for it, but they probably didnt leave it in there to prevent accidental mistakes [05:10] if you have a complex samba config, dominicdinada then trry installing SWAT to manage it [05:10] I have just installed the latest ubuntu 10.04 [05:10] wiesshund: do i refer to the as /dev/sda ? [05:10] opps thats fixed now! [05:10] cablop: so i might be able to comment out the Gid Uid's then and see if the problem is fixed [05:10] but I did some updates to create a mac theme.. [05:10] waterboy0911, you did? from a cd? [05:10] so I am pretty sure I am using lucid [05:10] waterboy0911, pastebin your sources.list [05:10] waterboy0911, oh you wanted the mac theme === jeff_ is now known as Guest60470 [05:10] waterboy0911, yes please pastebin.com /etc/apt/sources.list [05:10] togdar, yes, thats correct /dev/sda1 sda2 etc per partition, dev/sdb is hdd2 etc [05:10] yeah I did it from a cd [05:10] i want to clean these up before I try set up the raid on the two - want a clean / checked disk [05:11] wiesshund: ty [05:11] baby baby dont leave me [05:11] not actually it's my room mate here want's it.. [05:11] buzag, wrong channel [05:11] waterboy0911, if this gets fixed elemetary theme is nearly the same as the mac os theme ...I would go for that one instead [05:11] then now he messes my notebook.. [05:11] oh sorry dude! [05:11] Does anybody know if there's a way to password protect individual applications? [05:11] No I'll shift it where it should be.. [05:11] singing out loud! [05:12] #ubuntu-offtopic buzag [05:12] meh ! [05:12] I use linux not mac.. it's pretty embarrassing [05:12] waterboy0911, why linux os far better [05:12] lets go back to that source list [05:13] where should I go to pastebin my source.list [05:13] waterboy0911, ok in terminal sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list copy the entire contents and then go to pastebin.com and paste it then give us the link [05:13] Guest60470, you can limit access to any kind of file or directory based on user and group [05:13] how do I find out the URL of a postgreSQL database I made in the standard location?

[05:47] hmmm [05:47] i'v seen many on youtube working with it pretty good [05:47] mom, I've been googling the whole wide web for two weeks, tried all of the solutions out there (disabling ipv6, tcp scale, routers, etc.) [05:47] has great features and looks [05:47] nIRV, my network (with router) works fine [05:47] ubottu: actually I asked it a few pages back [05:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:47] I have a ubuntu notebook tethered to my blackberry.. The Blackberry assigns my ppp connection an IP address that happens to be the same numbers at work... This causes a problem when I vpn.. Any tips in ubuntu to get around this? [05:48] mom, how many computers? [05:48] nIRV, i only own 3 :P [05:48] Heh, should have guessed that 8=) [05:48] grizzly_: i wish i new. sounds like something to play around with on some livecd with it, before committing to install. [05:48] Once VPNd in I can get to oddball machine on different subnets, but I can not get to the ones with the same ip scheme as my pc cause the routings conflict... :( [05:48] nIRV, Im 3/3 and you are 0/50 [05:48] mom, basically, yes : ) [05:49] the odd thing is that remaining windows machine on the network are _not_ affected. [05:49] nIRV, are the windows machines using TCP/IP? [05:50] nIRV: are the windows boxes on the same switch? [05:50] ! anyone | sunzaru [05:50] Sunzaru, please see my private message [05:50] :P had to test the notification window.. figured the bot could do that :D [05:50] and for machines with dual-boot, booting in windows is will result in great network experience, booting in ubuntu will result in constant time outs [05:50] sweetpi, yep [05:50] nIRV, do you know how the working computers are configured? [05:51] hello folks. I'm having difficulty saving distribution lists in kde-pim, If i add members to the list they show up. Then when i select another contact, then go back to the list the members are gone. Using kubuntu 10.4. I'd love some help here. I don't use kde much (clients comptuter) but i'm not a linux nwebie.

[05:51] nIRV, what protocol they are using? [05:51] network is a bit complexe. 1 router + several switchs [05:51] mom, tcp/ip [05:51] nIRV, proxy server? [05:52] nope [05:52] sometimes when I do sudo apt-get upgrade , it says The following packages have been kept back: [05:52] why ? [05:52] nIRV, windows boxes use auto DHCP? [05:52] yep [05:52] How can i grep after " and \ i? [05:52] all machines are on dhcp [05:53] nIRV, is the domain configured properly? [05:53] hrm, I think the domain is not set (blank) [05:53] im still at a loss on how to do a 'full format' not these fake mbr wipes - kinda wish I had a windows 2000 disk [05:54] is fdisk what I want? [05:54] nIRV, what happens when you try to ping a ubuntu machine from the windows machine? [05:55] togdar: want to wipe a disk? [05:55] anyone know anything about gnome shell? [05:55] i am new to ubuntu [05:55] Is there a way I can just bypass plymouth right now? I'm getting "conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs VESA VGA" [05:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/609044 [05:55] want to feel like i really formated it - passing over the sectors... not this click a button that says format and a second later it says done :) [05:55] pinging (both web sites that time out and internal windows/ubuntu machines) working fine [05:56] togdar: really format as in complete wipe? [05:56] buzag - last raid 1 failed on me - but i think i had crap lingering there... [05:56] nIRV, how is DNS then? [05:56] the Xorg log file is telling me config/udev: removing ... \n UnloadModule: "synaptics" [05:56] how the flub can I force it to reload the thing? [05:57] nIRV, when you ping you are doing like www.google.com etc? [05:57] mom, I've tried ISP DNS, google 8888 8844 DNS, nothing works [05:57] silv3r_m00n: my understanding is that if upgrading a package requires installing something other than just a "higher version" of a package (or needs to uninstall something), it is held back. "apt-get dist-upgrade" or specifiying those packages on a "apt-get install ..." line will *usually* install those packages. Just make sure it looks ok to do so. [05:57] mom, DNS resolution is fine [05:57] buzag: dont want to mess up cylinders and things I don't understand - just want the disk to not have old stuff from when it was raid 0 and Vista [05:57] togdar: just use fdisk [05:57] togdar: It really doesn't matter what used to be on a disk. [05:57] mom, connection timing out after DNS resolution ... if I for eg telnet www.google.com 80, it resolves ip but then times out [05:57] nIRV, i thought you said: pinging (both web sites that time out and internal windows/ubuntu machines) working fine [05:58] mom, yep, ping e.g. www.google.com or ping 192.168.101.110 is ifne [05:58] Jordan_U: really? I was always told to reformat before reinstall [05:58] err fine [05:58] togdar:yeah reformat [05:59] oh I should add, we have an internal web server (ip 192.168.101.88) that works fine, accessible from ubuntu machines ... the connection time out occurs only when connecting to external IPs [05:59] togdar: Folklore, or at best simply a roundabout way to test that the drive doesn't have any bad sectors. [05:59] any one say me how i use wvdial in ubuntu [05:59] togdar: full format is usually unnecessary. check out dban if you really want to wipe the data [05:59] Jordan_U are there not viruses that can persist? [06:00] dban! thats what I wanted to remember [06:00] does links2 work on the ubuntu machines? [06:00] thanks! [06:00] togdar: but dban is very OTT IMHOP [06:00] how i use wvdial in ubuntu [06:00] :) maybe ill just buy a new disk [06:01] togdar: why bother bro [06:01] togdar: No, once you've created a new partition table and filesystem the viruses are just bits on the disk considered "free space", or they're overwritten and then they're used. Either way the fact that those bits once contained a virus is meaningless. [06:01] kidding - may need some help in a sec here - didnt seem to be able to mount these last time [06:01] How can I disable ACPI permanently? [06:02] darn, my computer keeps shutting down randomly and I can find no errors in the system log. I'm not sure where to check next [06:02] POOPCHEESE [06:02] togdar:pm me if you need to [06:02] thecat, wrong channel [06:02] I LIKE TO EAT POOPCHEESE [06:02] Jprdan_U: maybe its just psychological then... peace of mind, tradition, what have you [06:02] Thanks all [06:02] any one say me how i use wvdial in ubuntu [06:02] traskmind: noacpi [06:03] buzag: I haven't edited a Grub menu by hand since before Grub2, so what file do I need to edit? [06:03] nIRV, not really see what the problem is if the machines can all communicate with each other and the internet and can resolve domain names [06:03] traskmind: /etc/default/grub [06:03] traskmind:/etc/default/grub [06:04] traskmind: its /etc/grub [06:04] wow. toos low [06:04] Hey guys, quick question, does a tool or guide exist for creating a 3rd party software source for Ubuntu? [06:04] any one say me how i use wvdial in ubuntu [06:04] mom, welcome to my world :) thanks for taking time to listen to the issue... I should add we rewired most of the network (a job we had to do anyway) in the hope a broken cable to have led to this situation. unfortunately, we were wrong. [06:04] traskmind: Guest36049 is right [06:05] !ppa > IntelMiner [06:05] IntelMiner, please see my private message [06:05] nIRV, why would you think it is a broken cable if they can all communicate with each other? [06:05] Under GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT? [06:05] traskmind: Yes. [06:05] Jordan_U: thank you. [06:05] traskmind: You're welcome. [06:06] mom, out of hopelessness? I thought defective cables could have led to connection timing out in certain cases. [06:06] :) [06:06] nIRV, what happens when you installed ubuntu? it wasnt able to get packages? [06:06] bazhang, ubottu, Im talking about making my own local PPA, not just adding one [06:06] any one say me how i use wvdial in ubutnu [06:06] ubuntu [06:07] IntelMiner, local repo? [06:07] IntelMiner, apt-mirror or aptoncd perhaps [06:07] please help me [06:07] bazhang, custom local repo, Ive got apt-mirror for a 'vanilla' one but I have some other packages I usually update [06:07] !aptoncd [06:07] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [06:07] mom, actually, this is part of the strangeness of this story. when our network was 20% ubuntu, no problem ... network started not working on ubuntu machines when we reached a 70% ubuntu-machine-on-network ratio === Guest36049 is now known as FenrisWulff [06:07] IntelMiner, aptoncd then I guess [06:08] bazhang, would that require me to use a CD/USB each time or can I just chuck it on say, an Apache folder and apt-get it over the network [06:08] nIRV, are you configuring manual IPs? [06:08] IntelMiner, not sure about that but sounds doable now that you mention it [06:08] mom, nope [06:09] all of our network is auto dhcp, except few printers and one web server [06:09] where is the session properties manager at in 10.4 ? [06:09] pr986, do you need to get it or know how to use it? [06:09] bazhang, how does say, WINE or such do it for theirs, assuming Deb/Ubuntu has a specific way to do that [06:09] nIRV, maybe some were using the same IP [06:10] mom_, id do everything manually [06:10] FenrisWulff, he/she quit [06:10] static IPs [06:10] mom, our fixed ips are between 50-90, and our dhcp server attributes ips from 100-200. [06:10] bazhang, yeah, I can't read or write.. [06:11] IntelMiner, depends on the number of packages needed I suppose, if you already have an apt-mirror.. [06:11] mom, so unless the router's dhcp server issues overlapping IPs (which I doubt is the problem since we tried 3 different routers), problem is elsewhere. [06:11] bazhang, its a few, just be nice to have it automated, what if I just say dropped it into the apt-mirror directly, would it grab it since its the newest file? [06:12] nIRV, did you run out of addresses with 50 computers? [06:12] it's a real shame we're hit by this mysterious network problem, our transition from windows to ubuntu went really well and the staff reacted quite positively to it. [06:12] mom, nope [06:13] nIRV, id try configuring a ubuntu box manually for static IP and see what happens first: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html [06:14] mom, did that too [06:14] mom, same problem [06:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet IntelMiner leads to this: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror [06:15] mom, heh we're retracing the various paths we took during these last two weeks : ) keep throwing ideas, we might hit something [06:16] bazhang, already done that to make a "vanilla" apt mirror, now I want to make a PPA or such so itll default to fetching newer packages if I specify them [06:16] nIRV: do all machines have the same nic? [06:17] hey having a small problem with my networking. not getting an ISP but I found the "sudo dhclient eth0" command and that is working for me. is there a cause for this? [06:18] im also having network issues happening after i hibernate my computer. and the sudo dhclient eth0 command also works for me after removing network manager which i beleived to be the problem [06:18] nIRV, did you plug in your ubuntu computers? [06:18] sweetpi, hrm, how am I supposed to get this value? all of them have, to my knowledge, different MAC addresses and unique IPs (from what I can see) [06:19] well i went to edit the NM .conf file and found it blank! i dont recall that being the case. (this all started bec i moved) [06:19] hello, i am trying to use processing on ubuntu, but when i launch it i get the error "Processing required java 6 from Sin (ie the sun-java-jdk package on Ubuntu)..." but i have already installed the package "sun-java6-sdk" [06:19] nIRV: just thinking it might be a driver issue [06:19] nIRV, ifconfig should show [06:19] Sun* [06:19] mom, :) that reminds me of my first freelance job twelve years ago. "sir, I urgently need your help, my fax hasn't been working for a week and the company can't fix it", came there and plugged in machine. the easiest money I ever earned ;) [06:20] buenas [06:20] quisiera peguntar algo [06:20] sweetpi, a driver issue of one computer that'd result in a network time out issue for all machines? [06:20] hi i have a question to all people [06:20] maxredch, en ingles por favor [06:20] im new on ubuntu [06:20] and my ubuntu 10.04 some times fall [06:21] maxredch, there is a spanish channel too for ubuntu [06:21] and my window turn black [06:21] =/ [06:21] nIRV: no, i meant if all ubuntu machines used the same nic driver, it would be the same on all of them [06:21] dont worry im speak a little of spanish [06:21] my ubuntu dont be stable =/ [06:21] i'm having network problems as well ever since my last system update. i've disabled ipv6 in grub, made the firefox corrections, static and dhcp assignments, MTU tweaking, etc., everything possible i could find on ubuntuforums. I can ping sites just fine, i can dns sites just fine, and intermittently it will work fantastic and normal for about 5 minutes, and then it's back to horrible. [06:21] how does i get plugins for empathy so i can make audio calls [06:22] you think are firefox the problems ? [06:22] I feel that installing a different network manager like wicd will solve some network problems. testing now [06:22] i also installed wicd and removed network-manager [06:22] same thing [06:22] firefox ? [06:22] bummer to hear this karash [06:22] and if im unistall firefox you think my ubuntu dont turn black ? [06:22] yes, and epiphany [06:23] epiphany = ? [06:23] the same [06:23] ? [06:23] sweetpi, k ... I'll have a look. the whole thing is quite bizarre, for the problem to appear in relation to high ratio of ubuntu computers on network... [06:23] nIRV, have you tried debian stable? [06:23] karash: What are the exact symptoms, does another OS work on the same machine/network? [06:23] im using opera as my primary web browser. [06:23] fire fox not the issue [06:23] uffffff opera are very nice but some webpages cant open [06:23] =/ [06:23] Hello everybody, I've got a problem. So, I left today and just hit "suspend." I continued to turn off my monitor and rush out the door. I come home, and my monitor turns on, but to a power-saving state, indicating that the computer isn't even putting out a signal. I'm moved the mouse, typed some keys, hard-rebooted, unplugged, everything (that an idiot like me) can do. Any suggestions? :] [06:24] still. i leave on fire fox as backup :) [06:24] Jordan_U: Windows can always find sites and at least load them. speed is usually consistent to around 3-5 mbps (i have a 5 mbit connection), but ubuntu seems to just give up. [06:24] mom, I had hoped we wouldn't need to go as far as re-installing another linux distribution on all our machines *snif snif*. at the end of the day, if we can't fix this, that will be one of our few options left. [06:24] nIRV: maybe it was a kernel update that did you in, not the ratio. the windows boxed work fine, correct? [06:24] nIRV: Have you looked at what kind of traffic you're getting with wireshark? [06:24] nIRV, i personally would have installed a stable distro for a rollout of that size [06:25] sweetpi, we installed ubuntu 10.04 on all machines and have not had kernel updates in between time things were ok and time things were not ok :) === Nick_Nestor is now known as xVxNICKxVx [06:25] karash: You're going to need to be more specific and clear than "seems to just give up". [06:25] nIRV, ubuntu is mostly testing and unstable debian packages [06:25] mom, 10.04 is LTS no? :) [06:25] i like ubuntu more than windows 7 [06:25] =/ [06:25] Jordan_U: The server at www.ubuntugeek.com is taking too long to respond. [06:25] hehe [06:25] but the problems [06:25] having a problem cross-mounting between VMs... mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on dstore1:/mnt/home [06:25] =/ [06:25] help [06:25] i think i need to come back to windows 7 [06:25] maxredch, yep that means they will be trying to fix it for 7 years i think [06:25] Jordan_U: it is also affecting my repository connections, so it's not just limited to my browser(s) [06:26] karash: Can you ping www.ubuntugeek.com OK? [06:26] jordan, I've tried this. I'm not a big expert on tcp outputs so did not see any obvious alarming items in the output list [06:26] uffffff why my monitor turn black [06:26] =/ [06:26] mount fileserver:/mnt/home /mnt/home is what i'm using... on fileserver the home mount is a block level mount of a LV on the host [06:26] whit ubuntu 10.04 [06:26] nIRV, they will be trying to get it stable over 7 years [06:26] Jordan_U: yeah [06:26] any ideas [06:26] =/ [06:26] Jordan_U: i can ping everything with minimal packet loss [06:26] mom, heh [06:26] dont exist a distro more stable than ubuntu ? [06:27] sometimes, however, it will spike to 14% loss when it gets really bad. [06:27] on linux and very easy like ubuntu ? [06:27] max109, debian stable [06:27] maxredch, debian stable [06:27] but debian see like ubuntu ? [06:27] help i can't remove my usb cdrom [06:27] hey can someone pastebin a copy of their network config file [06:27] Damnit... [06:27] Anybody... [06:27] Haha. [06:27] im using ubuntu netbook remix [06:27] and are easy ? [06:27] I'm sitting here looking to my right to an empty "Ubuntu" screen. [06:27] :[ [06:27] from /etc/networkmanager/nm-system-settings.conf [06:27] i cant safely remove [06:27] hello, i am trying to use processing on ubuntu, but when i launch it i get the error "Processing required java 6 from Sun (ie the sun-java-jdk package on Ubuntu)..." but i have already installed the package "sun-java6-sdk" [06:28] karash: Wireless? If so what chipset? [06:28] i have a good idea for a software on ubuntu [06:28] =D [06:28] Jordan_U: wired, sorry i forgot to mention that. [06:28] can be a good idea [06:28] Jordan_U: Desktop [06:28] nIRV, i only use ubuntu on one desktop and one notebook . . . rest is debian stable [06:28] on ubuntu dont exist too much software of webpage edition [06:28] exist one on windows are very good [06:28] rebirth: instal sun-java6-plugin [06:28] the name its website x5 [06:29] =D i think if exist one program like website x5 [06:29] mom_: you said you have 3 computers.. that means debian stable runs on 1 computer? :p [06:29] sweetpi, i do have a family :P [06:29] ubuntu have a good tool very nice [06:29] xangua: i did [06:29] mom were are you from ? [06:29] !ot | maxredch [06:29] maxredch: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:29] mom, actually, this is probably a good rational. I wanted to give ubuntu a spin because I thought the sexy factor would make it easier for the staff to accept transition [06:29] karash i think im workin on a similar problem. do u get an IP if u run sudo dhclient eth0? [06:30] im from chile im install my ubuntu 2 days [06:30] nIRV, my debian stable looks sexy with some configuring [06:30] maxredch, stay on topic please [06:30] that's a life lesson: don't go for sexy, go for stable [06:30] =D i like a lot but the problems of inestability xd ! [06:30] hello [06:30] uffff ! [06:30] exist a cure for the inestabiltity of ubuntu 10.04 ? [06:30] does anyone know how i can send a process to the background without pausing it? [06:30] mom, yeah when you have time to configure a machine. 50 machines however, harder. makes a world of difference when OS your installing already applies "sexy" configuration :) [06:31] wrektjet: i get the IP i give my router to assign me from my MAC address, so yeah, i can but I rarely use that method. [06:31] nIRV, compiz works in debian stable :P [06:31] compiz see like ubuntu ? [06:31] !enter | maxredch [06:31] maxredch: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:31] i have one question... maybe some body knows.... how to remove items 'Help and support', 'About Ubuntu' from System menu in Gnome? [06:32] mom, I was more referring to stuff like wallpapers, nice-to-the-eyes theme, indicators experience, etc. [06:32] i'm mostly just frustrated because everything was working flawlessly for about a month, and then i decided to do a system update and it's been horrid ever since. i've been on the phone with my ISP 3 times now and they can not find the problem. [06:32] and connections like IRC seem to stay connected just fine. [06:32] nIRV, you could also post your question in the ubuntu forums [06:32] karash i was using static IP before i moved. right now im just working on getting my network up then ill try setting my router. did u have any luck with the other mamager. wicd [06:32] nIRV, and explain everything you did and all the tests you ran [06:33] <|TroubleMaker|> extremity, you can use the menu editor to remove the items from the menus. system > Preferences > Main Menu [06:33] wrektjet: at first it was working okay, but the problems came back even after a complete removal of network-manager [06:33] mom, yeah, that's in the to-do list before ultimately reverting back to windows [06:33] yes i knew that, but Menu editor don't show this items =) [06:33] nIRV, did you verify the MD5 of you disk before installing? [06:33] mom, yep [06:33] bye thanks for help [06:34] |TroubleMaker|, try to open the 'main menu' application and you will see that [06:34] can someone please pastebin a copy of their /etc/networkmanager/nm-system-settings.conf file [06:34] <|TroubleMaker|> extremity, i was just looking at that [06:34] i'm dreading having to use windows until i can figure this out.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [06:35] i havent ever had more than 20 computers on my home network at once so not sure [06:35] and you see System->About Ubuntu? System->Help and Support? System->About Gnome? [06:35] should i leave the two disks unallocated or set as primaries and NTFS before setting up RAID array? or if it matters [06:35] nIRV, id check in the forums to figure it out perhaps [06:35] <|TroubleMaker|> extremity, sorry thought it was there and spoke before i looked. [06:36] =) [06:36] Anyone? I hard rebooted a few times and no difference. [06:36] hrm, libgtk1.2 got left out of lucid lynx... this is not good [06:36] Not even a bootloader screen. [06:36] Jordan_U: any other ideas? [06:36] nIRV, did you make sure the windows computers didnt have a virus/trojan that interfered with the network? [06:36] mom, will do. I've pretty much looked throughout the forum and tried all of the hacks there (tcp scale, disabling system's ipv6, disablign firefox's ipv6, etc.), so the answer will hopefully come within a new thread [06:37] ... > : [ [06:37] How can I install ubuntu-server on a ubuntu desktop machine?

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [06:37] Hit suspend, haha. That's it. [06:37] can't believe how many noobs are trying to post advice to the ubuntu forums [06:37] mom, could be, although the router's statistics page doesn't reveal any suspicious activities (in terms of packet transfer, etc.) [06:37] stercor, with virtualbox [06:37] stercor, =) [06:37] w8, be back in a minute [06:37] extremity, I hit suspend, then the computer went into power-saving mode. [06:38] extremity, and now it won't come out of it. Haha, it's beign lazy... [06:38] "why don't you just use libgtk2.0?" <-- OMG, where you hit with the stupid stick or were you born that way? libgtk2.0 is *not* libgtk1.2 and some older programs need the 1.2 to link against! [06:38] i may have to give opensuse a whirl. [06:38] <[Raiden]> stercor: sudo tasksel [06:38] I want to be able to compile C programs. LAMP is not what I'm looking for. [06:38] xVxNICKxVx, boot from liveCD [06:39] xVxNICKxVx, mount your hdd [06:39] stercor, install build-essential [06:39] !language | Gnea [06:39] Gnea: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:39] stercore, if you want to compile C programs you need to get the GCC compiler [06:39] xVxNICKxVx, check configuration [06:39] extremity, I didn't burn it at a low-speed like I was intending to use it as a LiveCD. Is that bad news? [06:39] bazhang: sounds good. brb [06:40] xVxNICKxVx: not if it passes a md5sum check... [06:40] stercore, at a terminal you type GCC and it compiles a.out file which you then have to make executible [06:40] xVxNICKxVx, what linux? ubuntu? [06:40] xangua: back off, bub [06:40] top are u running it with or without netwkmngr installed [06:40] extremity, Lucid Lynx. [06:40] xVxNICKxVx, what fs? ext3? [06:40] extremity, and now my CD tray won't even respond :[ [06:40] extremity, ? [06:40] can somebody tell me, why I'm not able to create a folder in a mounted device? (Operation Not Permitted) it also doesn't work with sudo .. [06:40] Haha. [06:40] Does a non Admin account have permission to write to .bashrc? [06:41] xangua: I didn't even swear, and I was quite on-topic. Please be sure that you know what you're talking about before utilizing the bot, thanks. [06:41] uRock: each account can have its own .bashrc [06:41] Gnea, why are you being so aggressive? [06:42] RandumNumber: that's not aggression. [06:42] but I think I found libgtk1.2... [06:42] karash top whats the command line entry to install wicd [06:42] Gnea: then stop making fun of others [06:42] people still use gtk 1.x? [06:43] karash top forget that [06:43] xangua: didn't make fun of anyone, just pointed out a difference between thinking first before acting, and acting before thinking. [06:43] Most software that uses gtk 1.x is old and deprecated nowadays. [06:43] <|TroubleMaker|> wrektjet, sudo apt-get install wicd ? [06:43] greezmunkey, thanx, I am trying to set "PS1='uRock '" but it doesn work [06:43] wrektjet: if you install from Synaptic, it will uninstall Network Manager as a bonus. [06:43] mom, thanks for taking so much time on this... [06:44] thnx guys i had it was a typo in my first 2 tries [06:44] xangua: now, unless you have any constructive advice on libgtk1.2... [06:44] extremity, What the hell... [06:44] * mintux says hello [06:44] mom, the other problem is that it appears problem only affects http connections ... ftp, irc, etc. are not suffering from time outs [06:44] uRock: I'd have to check the syntax on that.. [06:44] hi right now i am trying to use freq-selector, but when i click on any of the options other than performance or powersave, the other two options (ondemand and conservative) automatically go to performance. help/ [06:44] I just power cycled the power strip it was connected to... And it just turned on... [06:44] extremity, However frustrating this was... It could have been worse. [06:44] I can see that the commands I found were written to the file, but they didn't work [06:44] ubuntu [06:44] ok, i have a more specific question. when i run "java -version" it says i am using OpenJDK. i don't want to use this version. i want to use sun-java6-sdk which i have installed [06:45] how do i switch? [06:45] extremity, Thanks for your attempts though; they are appreciated :] [06:45] uRock: you simply want to change your command line prompt? Right? [06:45] yes [06:45] <[Raiden]> uRock: export PS1="uRock :" [06:46] uRock: check this nifty article: http://www.linuxconfig.org/Bash_prompt_basics [06:46] [Raiden], do I add that to the .bashrc or just run it in CLI? [06:46] hi right now i am trying to use freq-selector, but when i click on any of the options other than performance or powersave, the other two options (ondemand and conservative) automatically go to performance. help/ [06:46] greezmunkey, thanx [06:47] uRock: np, but [Raiden] had it right :) [06:47] ah sweet, got libgtk1.2 to work... and xmms [06:47] greezmunkey, do I add that to the bashrc or just run in terminal? [06:47] http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~knuta/xmms/ <-- the karmic releases work on lucid [06:48] nm, I see it on the link [06:48] uRock: you can do either, from the command line to test, then commit it to your .bash_profile file [06:48] Awesome [06:49] i am not able to use xchat from behind proxy! (college LAN) [06:49] uRock: bash is pretty powerful, you can find a lot of help in #bash as well :) [06:49] sweet, thnx [06:50] is there any program in ubuntu similar to c#? [06:50] would anyone mind helping me get pcre to work in codeblocks [06:50] rav: Look up Mono [06:50] ok thanks [06:51] Mono provides an implementation of the .NET CLR and a C# compiler [06:51] <[Raiden]> uRock: try to find in google: Bash Prompt howto [06:51] <[Raiden]> my English is terrible ) [06:53] thnx [Raiden] [06:53] I've been noticing during my kernel upgrades some odd behavior during my crub config generation. errors that look like this: "File descriptor 3 (pipe:[3580460]) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 2199: /bin/sh" Can anyone tell me what that is? [06:53] I'm wondering if it's something I should try to address [06:55] gbear14275: weah is means its well F**ked :P [06:55] !language | buzag [06:55] buzag: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:55] buzag: ummm... huh? [06:55] why is 10.4 slow? I have gNewSense/Ubuntu/XP on a desktop. The other two are fine. In 10.4 I have 5 second delays in mouse clicks. In terminal, type a word or two then 5 seconds before it appears. [06:55] if it ain't broke take a hammer to it? [06:56] gbear14275, ignore him please [06:56] bazhang: i can do that [06:56] blak, thats not helpful [06:58] bazhang: my bad. gbear14275: quickest way would be to try and copy them down or take a pic with your camera phone and google [06:58] gbear14275: Bug#549976 may look familiar: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/6519602a67871f5f [06:58] what is the command in the terminal to find where an aplication is.. so i can put it at the start up thing.. thatnks [06:58] thanks* === Flomaster is now known as Stv|Jobs [06:58] if it ain't broke take a hammer to it? or maybe a shotgun :) [06:59] greezmunkey: found that... but didn't see/don't know how to find any follow up [06:59] professional-are: you can try "locate" but you kind of have to know what you are looking for - [06:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9629511#post9629511 [06:59] professional-are: are you simply trying to have them autostart? or do you want a folder to open at startup? [07:00] no again dude [07:00] Blak, autostart [07:00] specifically screenlet app [07:00] piss off [07:00] greezmunkey: but yes that looksalmost identical [07:00] http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=5 [07:00] buzag, please stop that [07:01] stop what exactly? [07:01] gbear14275: agreed, I have had only limited sucess tracking down bugs. Most of the time everything runs fine, You can get a lot of wierd errors sometimes that simply don't amount to much. [07:01] gbear14275: not much help, I know... [07:01] professional-are: test out the command + operators you want in your terminal, then go in to "autostart", and "copy+paste" the command, comment it so you can find it later and you should be set [07:02] greezmunkey: thats ok :) The conversation is at least welcome. So I guess I'm asking now because it seems that every kernel upgrade I'm getting more and more of them [07:02] and they change throughout the install details too. [07:02] bazhang: stop jumping on me [07:02] blak, i used to type like a one word command but i forgto... it was like "where skype" [07:02] and it would work [07:02] gbear14275: do you keep track of your logs, check them regularly? [07:02] buzag, stay on topic and stop with the language and nonsense advice [07:03] piss off [07:03] blak, its which... thanks for your help though [07:03] professional-are: n/p, man -k * is your friend :) mine at least [07:04] I find it odd. That the only linux distrobution that works with my sound card is Arch Linux. heh. [07:04] blak, i dont know what you just said [07:04] greezmunkey: not as well as I should... it would be more accurate to say I just tend to watch the messages that normally occur during installs, startup, etc. Watch for flag messages. But to be honest... the logs are a bit intimidating and I don't understand them as much as I would like... it's something I should get more involved in [07:04] blak, whats -k * [07:04] So how do I go about making 10.04 usable? I've been searching for anything to try for ~2 months. Surely, someone has an idea? [07:05] greezmunkey: so... my latest kernel upgrade generated these related snippets. http://pastebin.com/xn2C6EKq [07:05] quietone: what do you mean by "usable" [07:05] gbear14275: your linux system is more like an old school hot rod. It takes a bit of fussing and figuring, and if you know where to look it will tell you what is wrong. Checking logs is like poppin' the hood and tweaking the carbs, just something you need to do... [07:05] is trisquel good? [07:05] greezmunkey: those are just chunks I pulled out and copied down... but you can see the body of the message seems to stay the same but the PID tends to change and they grow and shrink in quantity throughout the upgrade process [07:06] gbear14275: I'll take a look, but no promises. [07:06] rocky. I find waiting 5 seconds for a response from a mouse click is unusable. In a te rm, I type a word or two and have to wait 5 sec to see it. [07:06] professional-are: type "man -k gedit" it'll display a manual list for gedit. "man" is like a search command for manuals [07:07] quietone: and what make and model of computer is this. [07:07] greezmunkey: right now shes still running well, but i perk up when i hear pops and rattles ;). No need to devote time to it... just passing examples [07:08] quietone: are you running from a pendrive, liveCD or full install? [07:08] blak, oh ok thanks sorry for the noobness [07:08] roky, hmm a desktop built by a company in Petone, NZ. [07:08] professional-are: n/p, we all started somewhere [07:08] can anyone help me out with mounting an hfs harddrive? [07:08] blak, full install. Please note that gNewSense and XP are fine on the hardware. [07:09] quietone: Full install or live cd? Do you know what hardware you have? [07:09] haxyourfacein: try NTFS Configuration Tool from the repositories [07:09] quietone: is this a constant or periodic issue? does it coincide with something else you knowthe computer is doing? [07:09] gbear14275: you keep you system regularly updated, right? [07:09] roky, Full install. Hardware - not sure. We did put in a vid card. I'll find those details. [07:10] I'm new to linux.

[07:12] does ntfs config tool handle hfs? [07:12] no [07:12] haxyourfacein, hfsplus does iirc [07:12] !find hfsplus [07:12] Found: hfsplus [07:12] if so what about hfs with bad superblock [07:13] !info hfsplus | haxyourfacein [07:13] haxyourfacein: hfsplus (source: hfsplus): Tools to access HFS+ formatted volumes.

[07:13] quickie question here (I hope) I found directions to migrate my wubi install to a partition here: (http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9615202 ) I have gparted open, and I want to resize sda1 (which is the partition that I have the wubi file on). It's mounted to /host. I am assuming that in order to resize the partition I have to unmount it. I wouldn't think that unmounting this partition would have any bad affects at all... [07:13] right? so I can unmount the /host partition and then resize it? [07:13] blak, conky? [07:13] ive tried hfsplus [07:14] i just need to recover some data from my sisters bad mac drive [07:15] says cant read superblock [07:15] quietone: it's a system monitor util. driver up to date for that ATI? [07:15] appamajig: If i understand you, you unmont partition you are currently running wubi from. If this is correct, then no it will not work. You would need to perform resizing from livecd, or install running from another disk. [07:15] so i replace superblock [07:16] and it still says it [07:16] appamajig: *you want to unmount [07:16] blak, I have no idea. How do I check that.

[07:24] i have a 4600 series ati and ubuntu doesnt like it much [07:24] hey [07:24] <[Raiden]> if possible, better to replace to nvidia 8xxx or later. Good speed and HD acceleration... [07:24] greezmunkey: ati and now nvidia leaving older cards in the driver-update dust. It's going to make a bunch of machines that were "good enough", no longer usable. [07:24] does someone here have mac os x? [07:24] yeah, mine is old (200m)... it does OK for most of the desktop stuff, and I can play 720p with the system (it's a 1.9ghz dual-core turion)... that's all that matters :) [07:24] juboba, related to ubuntu somehow?

[07:30] papna, did you md5 the iso? burn at low speed then do a disk integrity check? [07:30] !md5 | papna [07:30] papna: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [07:30] gbear14275: did you see this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/591823 sounds like a grub issue [07:30] blak, it give me no clear direction. I don't know what to do or try. [07:31] bazhang: I verified the md5. I did not have burn speed options since it's a USB stick, not a CD. [07:31] Howdy , everything is going good except I did an update and it upated my kernal etc ... now I get the following error everytime I install new software: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-generic: linux-image-generic depends on linux-image-2.6.35-10-generic; however: Package linux-image-2.6.35-10-generic is not configured yet.

[07:32] blak, but then I can't make it worse. so I pick one of the suggestions and have a go [07:33] papna: try to disable the splash so you can see what's going on [07:33] Not unetbootin. [07:33] bazhang i'm on maverick [07:33] papna, sounds like a bad 'burn' then. you may also wish to try again or try unetbootin [07:33] aloon, #ubuntu+1 for that [07:33] oka thanks [07:36] bazhang: Well, I tried with multiple USB keys now written from multiple computers at least one of which I verified the iso. [07:37] bazhang, I'll try unetbootin. [07:37] is it a bad idea to watch a movie while upgrading?

[07:52] magicianlord: top, because that's also where window controls are [07:52] anyway im goign to post my PC specs [07:53] well, that didn't work [07:53] blag: you could make the same arguement for bottom. Less chance of missclicking on the panel instead of the x button for example [07:53] skidoo: in a terminal, run tail -f /var/log/syslog - then in another terminal, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - check the first terminal for errors. [07:53] do you hit the buttons accidentally when the panel is at the top? [07:53] niteshade: What feature is it that you want that is not there? I don't have a workspace switcher up so I can't check (sorry). What is the specific option [07:54] what i'm trying to do is name each workspace and have it say which one's which on the switcher applet (I know it can be done, and i've done it before, but it's just not showing up) [07:54] like i have one for web browsing, one for stuff on console, one for games, etc [07:54] Ubuntu 64b 10.04 updated, Compiz 'On', CPU Athlon 6000+ X2, 6GB Corsair XMS, Gforce9800GTX..... give me some idea of the posible crash thing [07:55] hello [07:55] hi I'm using VirtualBox(latest version) and I created two VM one with ubuntu and another with win XP, Numpad does not work with ubuntu but works with win XP, can it be Vbox related or ubuntu related ? [07:55] HI EVERYBODY [07:55] niteshade: you are right. That option should be there. When did this problem start occuring? Did you reinstall ubuntu/gnome or anything else? Did it occur out of the blue? [07:55] it should have that in preferences [07:55] hi [07:56] well bye bye [07:56] byr [07:56] bye [07:56] actually i haven't tried anything like this in a while, so i couldn't really track it down to when [07:56] is there any other way to change this stuff than by going to the applet and clicking preferences? [07:56] i was reading that hdparm is broken in lucid, but sqeueeze already has it fixed [07:56] why isnt the ubu pkg up to date [07:57] niteshade: is it possible you're using a different version of the applet than usual? Or need to update it? [07:57] what are you doing now [07:57] i dunno [07:57] Do you know backtrack- linux operating system? [07:58] ZHANGYIMING, yes, not supported here [07:58] backtrack is for hacking [07:58] hee hee...

[07:59] no hack [07:59] samshortguy13, we dont, unless you mean the kernel [07:59] backtrack is actually for pentesting, it still doesn't have the proper tools for anonymity [08:00] you could probably get tor and proxychains on there tho [08:00] I can't get to the gdm login window, why? last thing on screen (tty1) is *Starting NTP server ntpd; running 9.04 desktop edition, was working fine a while ago; can ssh&login locally (txt-based) [08:00] Well I have an iPhone and it's the filesystem is setup alot like ubuntu [08:00] no [08:00] i haven't fooled with it that much, but i think it's slax based, which means you could probably find a module to load up on there [08:00] It's disrespectful to other peoples property, gaining access without permission...

[08:02] i just don't like to use windows that much (and my computer doesen't like to either [08:03] ) [08:03] niteshade:there are a few options. I haven't done it personally, but I know it is possible [08:04] Hey I've been trying to get ubuntu on my IBM netvista but I'm haven issues [08:04] it's currently : linux /vmlinuz-2.6.35-8-generic root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash [08:04] Niteshade: read this link.

[08:06] reeniginEesreveR: I think there is a program for it. however, I have always just had it start with ./script.sh & to do it [08:06] Hey everybody, 10.04 is awesome. [08:07] greezmunkey: startx? [08:07] TheEskimo, by any chance do you remember name of the program for the init.d thing? I have tried googling but that didn't give much info [08:08] acovrig: you could try that first. [08:08] reeniginEesreveR: daemontools might work for it (unfortunately that is the name of a popular windows program too so finding it might be more difficult) [08:08] greezmunkey: I bet I can't do it over ssh can I? lol [08:08] acovrig: probably wouldn't do much good! [08:08] what does that mean ? ^B and B ? [08:09] reeniginEesreveR: I am not sure though. I hope it does. It isn't an uncommon problem so with a bit of googling you might find other solutions [08:09] Hey all [08:09] oaf: are you asking what ^B means? [08:09] acovrig: probably something like this: sudo service gdm restart [08:09] reeniginEesreveR: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html [08:09] TheEskimo, thanks a lot :) [08:09] acovrig: yes [08:10] my bum smells funny :( [08:10] acovrig: is it Ctrl+Shift+B?

[08:14] something with sudo etc/ gdm stop [08:14] ubuntuuuuuu: it depends on how much RAM you have, in my opinion [08:14] forgot the rest [08:14] any help? [08:14] because a swap drive is specifically used for swapfiles [08:14] ubuntuuuuuu: Because the more less often used data you store in swap, the more frequently used data you can cache in RAM.

[08:23] ID10T: check cable, check ip is correct range, try route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (router ip) [08:23] D3bian: Realize that the files will be owned by root if you do, so you may have to change that once you get them to your system. [08:24] how dso I tell what codec my video is encoded with? [08:25] Hmmm [08:25] I think nautilus is pooched [08:25] when I do that I can no longer load network drives [08:25] cjae, right click properties [08:25] * D3bian smacks nautilus === TheEskimo`brb is now known as TheEskimo [08:26] bazhang: what all it says is avi [08:27] ID10T: hrmm...I mis-read your post.

[08:28] acivrig: tightvnc ain't bad === root is now known as Guest64787 [08:28] *acovrig: tightvnc isn't bad [08:29] TheEskimo: is that the apt-get name, or is it tightvnc-server? [08:29] <[Raiden]> cjae: may be ffmpeg -i file.avi [08:29] acovrig: I guess it's tightvnc-server. You can install from source if you like (what I did) http://www.tightvnc.com/ [08:30] [Raiden]: cool will try [08:30] appearently tightvncserver actually acovrig. [08:30] greezmunkey yes that is correct [08:31] my real question is do i need to configure my ethernet card or is it plug and play [08:31] ID10T: what ip address and mask did you get from your router? [08:32] ID10T: 9.5 times out of ten it will just work. [08:33] greezmunkey, still not working man [08:33] D10T: if you google your cards model and ubuntu you will probably find reports of if it works oob or not. [08:33] 192.168.122.1 255.255.255.0 [08:33] found my answer : /etc/acpi/resume.d/ moved to /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/ [08:33] I'm reinstalling nautilus [08:33] the cards is integrated into the motherboard [08:34] it should work i've installed other linx distros [08:34] ID10T: It still has a model. But it will almost certianly work with no additional config needed.

[08:34] D3bian: yeah, there is obviously more to this...try this: make a copy of one of the nef files. change the extension to .txt, and then try moving that copy via ubuntu. [08:34] it should be plug and play basically right [08:34] ID10T: Yes [08:35] gonna try [08:35] maybe its the cable it's really long and old [08:35] cjae: you have ubuntu on your truck pc? [08:35] ID10T: how long? [08:35] ID10T: what is your router ip and the ip you get from ifconfig [08:36] in system->administration->Hardware drivers. Ubuntu tells me I have no proprietary drivers installed when Ubuntu Software Centers says I do have Proprietary drivers installed ie xserver-xorg-video-ati. im very confused [08:37] top: xserver-xorg-video-ati isn't proprietary [08:37] hi guys, i wounder how to remove Docky from my desktop ? i m on 10.04 ubuntu, thanks [08:37] phlak_user: no just playing with usb device on ubuntu machine in house, seems the pioneer device is quite picky, havent done alot of encoding yet [08:37] phlak_user: would like to bulk encode a buch of files [08:38] bunch* [08:38] greezmunkey, works immediately [08:38] it's as if .nef file is not allowed [08:38] cjae: have you seen oggenc?

Example, package managers. Debien uses the aptitude system, red-hat uses rpms, arch uses pacman, etc. [08:44] oh [08:44] patx: did this help --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession [08:44] no not really [08:44] im looking at that now [08:44] Niglop: Is that clear enough or do you want a more specific answer?

[09:55] ouyes: nope, did you fill in all the details like IP Address, netmask, gateway, DNS server etc? only then will the apply button become enabled [09:55] phlak_user, it seems that non-english ssid is not supported by network manager [09:56] ouyes: english shouldnt matter at all since Ubuntu now lets you select any language as the default language including chinese [09:56] phlak-user with jauty the processors do not work as in lucid [09:56] madrid: what do you mean by that ?

[13:14] is anyone able to shed light on my overheating issue in 10.04 on a toshiba satellite pro L300? [13:14] how much of a difference is there between aptitude and pacman? [13:14] A separate question... does ubuntu have an easy to use tool to clone one ntfs file system to a different drive of the same size? [13:15] J_Brady: man dd [13:15] ntfsclone [13:15] Niglop, a question for #ubuntu-offtopic [13:15] kk [13:15] man dd is a program that will do that janisozaur? [13:15] shiv_: look in system -> preferences -> startup apps [13:15] J_Brady: it's a man page for "dd" [13:15] Oh, understood. [13:16] J_Brady: be sure to check also what WaltzingAlong mentioned [13:16] ActionParsnip, ahha thanks [13:16] Where is the startup script for ubuntu 10.04? [13:16] valr: See this and the rest of the thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9603087&postcount=40 [13:16] The stuff before starting to load daemons [13:16] !startup | barfster [13:16] barfster: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [13:16] !boot | barfster [13:16] barfster: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [13:16] before the services [13:16] shiv_, Preferred Applications.. is what your looking for [13:16] after mandatory fsck [13:17] start up applications i mean [13:17] trojan_spike, thanks t I got it [13:18] hello, is it possible to install a package with wildcards? `apt-get install banshee*` for example? [13:18] janisozaur or waltzingalong... can dd or ntfsclone do that for the drive ubuntu is installed on? I decided to go with the method of installing ubuntu as a file in my win7 filesystem as a test...and it's the win7 drive I want to clone. [13:19] hi all ; I'm getting software rendering with Intel GMA 3150... Any ideas on how to fix that? [13:19] thruxton_: aptitude understands wildcards, " aptitude install ~nbanshee' " [13:19] J_Brady: you have ubntu installed on ntfs drive? [13:19] J_Brady: oh, didn't read your whole message... [13:19] It's installed as a file in my win7 ntfs filestructure... it said it was using ext4, so I assume it made a big lump file that win7 sees as just junk [13:19] J_Brady: using wubi? [13:19] llutz: ahh ok, ive never used aptitude! thanks I will give that a go [13:20] i want to change the desktop,not gnome or kde ,any good option? [13:20] Yes, using wubi. [13:20] lemonade_: xfce4! [13:20] lemonade_: xfce [13:20] lemonade_: lxde is lightweight [13:20] J_Brady, disk clone u mean?? [13:20] thruxton_: that '~nbanshee' stands for "all packages with banshee in name-field (~n)" [13:20] xfce [13:20] J_Brady: you can boot using usb live stick, then your drives will be offline [13:20] ? [13:20] Yes, preferably...over trying to copy the root of the drive and hitting system files I can't touch or something. [13:21] !xfce | lemonade [13:21] thruxton,it support 3d? [13:21] lemonade: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [13:21] I don't think I have a large enough USB drive. [13:21] !lxde | lemonade [13:21] I could burn a disc and go into liveboot I suppose. [13:21] would liveboot have the dd or ntfsclone available? [13:21] lemonade_: not sure, it supports compiz and all that good stuff [13:21] J_Brady: I didn't use CD in such a long time I've completely forgotten about that option. but yes, you could [13:21] lemonade_: http://lxde.org/ [13:22] J_Brady: could also install it if not, dd more likely than ntfsclone [13:22] philinux, it supports 3d? [13:22] Is there an overview of the boot sequence of an installed system? [13:22] Okay then... I guess that'll be my plan. Thanks guys. [13:22] J_Brady: you might want to check virtualbox [13:22] !virtualbox [13:22] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [13:23] Is there an overview of the boot sequence of an installed system? In particular I am interested in the stuff before the stuff launched from /etc/init.d/ [13:23] !virtualizer [13:23] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [13:23] lemonade_: http://blog.lxde.org/?p=30 [13:23] J_Brady: non-free in above means non-open-source, it is free as in free beer ;) [13:23] Right... :P [13:23] gonna have a look,thanks all [13:23] What does it allow one to do though, specifically? [13:24] J_Brady: it allows you to run "virtualized" OS within another. you can have windows and ubuntu, running inside of windows, simultaneously [13:24] would it be windows running inside of ubuntu, or ubuntu running inside of windows? [13:24] J_Brady: the other way round is also possible [13:25] I'm trying to ssh into my pc, but it keeps saying 'invalid password' (And the password is right). But it also says Solow@(ip here), while it should be wesley@(ip here) how can I change the username for ssh [13:25] Hunh [13:25] J_Brady, it's like a box within a box, i mean, an OS within an OS [13:25] I will check it out then. [13:25] How can I change which display is the primary display? === thruxton_ is now known as thruxton [13:26] J_Brady: http://utilidadespc.es/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/virtualbox.jpg, http://blog.bergcube.net/public/Ubuntu/VirtualBox.png [13:26] Now if this da** raid 1 rebuild would finish... 20%? ... [13:27] Is it better than Wine for pc gaming on linux? [13:27] J_Brady, check this pdf for an introduction to virtualization => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue38_en.pdf [13:27] J_Brady: it's different thing === root is now known as Guest74240 [13:28] Thanks monkey. [13:28] J_Brady: theres also crossoveroffice and cedega for windows apps inc games but they both cost [13:28] J_Brady: with wine you just translate system calls to native *nix. I ran warcraft 3 using wine faster then on windows. using virtualbox (or vmware), on the other hand, let's you install whole OS [13:28] J_Brady: both have an appdb but if your apps are compatible and you need it then its worth the money [13:29] Yeah... I would probably just boot into winxp rather than pay for cedega. No offense to the developers, just... a reboot isn't that big an obstacle, even if they become less frequent. [13:29] ... I assume when you use virtualbox to install xp, you go through the activation process normally... [13:30] J_Brady: yes. [13:30] J_Brady: a cedega is most likely cheaper than a windows license [13:30] I have a legitimate copy of SP3... are you allowed to install more than one copy of the OS to the same machine? [13:30] J_Brady: what system are you using now? [13:30] currently win7... which is on the 30 day trial. [13:30] After upgrading firefox, the flash player is messed up... I've tried reinstalling with "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" and restart FF, but no luck. Also, going to adobe.com for the install file fails, since FF can not handle the apt:// protocol. Any tips? [13:30] winxp is installed, that's SP3 and legit... and installed Ubuntu 10.04 [13:30] J_Brady: i think you can install the home edition on 3 systems, i'd ask in ##windows [13:31] btw, this is Ubuntu 9.04 [13:31] J_Brady: does http://www.grc.com/securable.htm state "yes" above hardware virtualization? [13:31] joakimk: dont use the adobe site for flash, flash is in the repo [13:31] ActionParsnip: ok... But going to Add/Remove software menu, and searching for "flash" gave 0 hits [13:32] joakimk: if you give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf use http://pastie.org I can advise [13:32] ActionParsnip: and I did try installing flashplugin-nonfree [13:32] joakim: Try this. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161939/ [13:32] ok :) [13:32] Howdy all [13:32] my cpu is a core i7 920... I believe that supports it, yes? [13:32] J_Brady: surely yes [13:32] joakimk: if you install apturl you can use apt:// links [13:32] Okay, so that means okay to install? [13:33] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1058265 [13:33] J_Brady: you can try vbox then, it should run good [13:33] joakimk: try this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161939/ [13:33] ActionParsnip: but I have "apturl is already the newest version." [13:33] joakimk: ok there is your issue, too many flash plugins. Ifyu have more than one they conflict and you get nothing [13:33] ActionParsnip: :) ok... [13:33] I'll want to check with #windows about the installing in virtualization question I guess. [13:34] J_Brady: you can pn me if you want [13:34] joakimk: i'll give a big command and it will fix you up [13:34] J_Brady: It is ##windows [13:35] The channel [13:35] thruxton_,how to install xfce4, sudo apt-get install xfce4? === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 [13:35] hi everyone!

[13:48] Thanks Archana_ and ActionParsnip [13:49] thrillERboy: you do need a web connection for the minimal though if you want to install more apps (or you can use the alternate CD / ISO as an offline repo) [13:49] J_Brady, Also install ppa-purge from a ppa ;-) to uninstall what will be installed from a ppa [13:49] Archana_: I would try Devede [13:49] where in the startup process does X get launched? is there a control or config file for upstart that does this? [13:49] stanley_robertso, Happy, thanks. I would want a solution to my problem . would you help ? [13:49] Archana_: Devede transcodes the avi into dvd compatible codecs (mpeg for video and ac3 for audio) and makes the dvd-structure. Brasero is only used to burn the dvd-structure on a dvd. [13:50] philinux, ok, i will try [13:50] Previously some download progress bar kinda thing was going on... thats y just confirming [13:50] blitzo: upstart has scripts for gdm or kdm that do it [13:50] Archana_, iam also new to this linux stuff.. but can try.. can you paste the question once [13:50] philinux, it's on a reposit ? [13:50] Yep [13:50] stanley_robertso, it has just been answered. Thanks though [13:50] rww where? what are they called? what directory are they in?

[13:52] blitzo: If you look at the top of that file, it tells you the prerequisites before gdm's started. [13:52] kernel_geek, they're the same [13:52] philinux, Ok! =) [13:52] Archana_, cool ok [13:52] kernel_geek, official nvidia driver is a restricted one [13:52] kernel_geek: "restricted" means that they're not open source. [13:53] philinux, can it also be used for formats other than aiv? [13:53] rww if i don't want gdm to automatically start on boot what do i do, delete gdm.conf?

[13:53] !nox | blitzo [13:53] blitzo: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

I can login using FAILSAFE gnome, any ideas? [13:58] feltham83, try logging in to any other user if you have. This actually happened to me and i had another user account which didnt have the problem which one account had. [13:59] feltham83, but sorry, i know this is not the solution [13:59] is there a grub option for showing only the lastest kernel when you boot your computer? as of now, it just keeps on filling the list from the newest one, to the oldest, and then windows [13:59] feltham83: hm. weird. can you log in to your failsafe session, open a terminal (Alt+F2, then "gnome-terminal"), do a "cat ~/.xsession-errors" and paste that using pastebin.com or so? [13:59] Archana - tried that [14:00] fablinix: hm. not that I know of. Would be stupid, anyway. Just uninstall your old kernels [14:01] Muelli: well, cleaning the old kernels every time I receive an update (like now) isn't exactly what I'm after, that's what I'm doing now and I'd would be nicer if grub would only show the newest, or automatically remove the old ones when a new arrives [14:01] fablinix, nope got no options in my grub at all! [14:01] #openhack [14:01] fablinix, only got Memtest and memtest serial [14:01] brb [14:01] fablinix: *shrug* that's not what happens because removing a Kernel is a serious issue. [14:01] Muelli - were do i paste it???

And the package manager won't uninstall it unless you explicitely ask it to. And GRUB will show every kernel there is, because it wouldn't necessarily make sense to not show the option to boot it. You could manually edit it out though or uninstall the kernel. [14:06] yay irc in this stupid embeded OS, even if its bitchX [14:06] aswin: hm. I don't know but dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg might help. [14:06] Muelli - try http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QWjVwZXP [14:06] can some1 tell me hw to install nvidia drivers..its says u r running server and all [14:06] feltham83: nice. can you do the same with "dmesg", too? [14:07] Muelli: I know I need a kernel to boot, and I didn't say I want to completely remove the kernel, only that I wanted to remove the old ones or only show the new one during boot, because the boot list gets filled up so easily [14:07] Muelli - how i do that lol [14:07] aswin if you click system > admin > hardware , does it not show you the nvidia driver and the option to turn it on? [14:07] feltham83: type "dmesg" into the temrinal and paste it, as you did with the xsession-errors. [14:07] aswin, open the hardware jockey and install the recomended nvidia driver [14:08] fablinix: startupmanager can be used to limit how many kernels grub shows. And to remove old ones this is good. http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/12/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu/ [14:08] cn i install with the already downloaded driver..i dnt wanna download again thts y [14:08] fablinix: yes, as I've said. The package manager won't do it for you unless you ask it to. You might want to write yourself a script that automatically disables old kernels in Grub, i.e. comments them out. [14:08] aswin install the one its showing [14:09] Mulli - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JW6SzgcV but looks like some is missing [14:09] Houston, I have a problem [14:09] How can I check the current runlevel of my system?

[14:30] Yes [14:30] For 3 months [14:31] bazhang: That is the problem, there is no error message; it hangs after successfully mounting the root filesystem [14:31] barfster, and could you pastebin those error messages or give a synopsis of them? [14:31] Hi, what's the cleanest way to upgrade Lucid Lynx to GCC 4.5 ? [14:32] the[V]oid, why would you need 4.5 [14:32] bazhang, need support for lambda expressions that have been introduced with 4.5 [14:33] the[V]oid, considering that the next release only uses 4.4.4 not sure the best method to go about that [14:34] Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here could help a newbie with x11vnc? [14:35] I'm having an annoying problem with my wireless -- When I leave one wireless network, and I get on a new wireless network (eg, from work to home), it hangs a while, then asks me for the password for the old network.

[14:37] yeah klogd and syslogd [14:37] but /var/log filesize hasn't change [14:37] d [14:37] oh, and "dd" [14:37] sproaty: So look in /var/log to see whats going on and /var/log/messages to see the activity [14:38] I guess I´ll just ask... I´m looking for the config file for x11vnc so I can use -nomodtweak by default. Does anyone know where this is?

Also, you could install "iotop" to see what processes are doing most i/o [14:39] sproaty: dd does not run on it's own [14:39] woah...wtf.....http://www.pastebin.org/415036 [14:40] im trying to install half life:opposing force but i cant open the setup.exe wwith wine and its not finding an autorun program [14:40] oCean_, no diskspace to install things, now!

Do I have to create one? [14:41] oCean_, what about those chipcard processes? [14:41] sproaty: I would reboot and see if dd comes back up [14:41] bit worried about rebooting in case my whole system's buggered [14:41] sproaty: the dd process is actually a normal process, writing into a fifo pipe [14:42] is it bad to reboot with 0 bytes on / ? === lit3l is now known as litel [14:42] I'm running out of stuff to delete [14:42] sproaty: better find what is writing?

[14:43] sproaty: kill off dd, delete some stuff and reboot. [14:43] erm yeah, I went from 180mb to 0 (to who asked) [14:44] sproaty: check your diskspace for example in your own directory "du -sk * | sort -n", also repeat this in /var/log and such [14:44] hm mmy terminal won't open, let me try tty1 [14:46] brand new to IRC. how do i ask a new question without interrupting what is being discussed currently? [14:47] oCean_, seems nothing new there, both dirs are their previous sizes [14:47] sandman70 you just ask it and wait [14:47] sandman70: simply do it [14:47] one of the processes I killed off has changed my window manager and lost my gnome taskbar [14:47] gotta open programs through gnome-do now [14:47] sandman70: once you're talking to someone in specific, just start the line with that person's nick [14:47] sandman70 in general there is no way not to interrupt irc :) we never shut up [14:47] gotcha. thanks === altF4_ is now known as altF4 [14:48] ah bugger it I'll just reboot. [14:48] upgraded to 10.04 and ever since automount seems to have gone on vacation. [14:48] for example === altF4 is now known as Guest85282 [14:48] I have a question I am getting a computer with the x4500 Intel IGP - And was wondering does it work with Ubuntu? [14:49] i have an USB connected multi-card reader [14:49] the card slots still show up in Nautilus, but i can't access my SD card when i insert. this was never a problem in previous versions [14:50] Chakat_Phil: it should [14:50] i've read the forums many times, installing and un-installing many packages, but i'm almost ready to wipe out and go back to 9.10 [14:51] sandman70 you can manualy mount it ok though? [14:52] splashtop i have been able to manually mount USB memory sticks, as recently as a couple days ago, and it did work. but i have not tried the SD card i just bought today [14:52] what the HELL. I restart and there's 1.5gb free on / [14:52] that was extremely odd. [14:52] sproaty: mind the language anyway please [14:53] sandman70 do the usb jumpdrives automount currently? [14:53] sproaty: maybe a fsck "ixed" it [14:53] no [14:53] sorry. [14:53] sproaty: maybe a fsck "fixed" it [14:53] And one day when I was playing with Compiz fusion - my computer like up and shut down (Ubuntu 10.10 A2.) I am powering a Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 256 128bit AGP8x card. [14:53] spalshtop seemingly nothing automounts any more [14:53] computers frustrate me beyond belief nowadays, doubt I can continue a career using them. [14:54] bazhang: Problem solved, issue in the fstab, with replacement HDD [14:54] Is there a way to set up /etc/fstab in a way that it will not halt on non system volumes? [14:55] barfster, good news, sorry not able to help you [14:55] sandman70 ok. look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [14:55] bazhang: what are "non system volumes" ? [14:55] erUSUL, you got me :) [14:55] This was a repo of images, that was replaced with a backup one, it is not mission critical for the system itself [14:55] bazhang: allways ;) [14:56] sandman70 you arent running ubuntu server edition right? [14:56] spalshtop besides, i wouldn't know what to mount anyway. fdisk -l doesn't show the SD card/drive [14:56] barfster: i'm guessing you want noauto in the fstab line? so it is not mounted on boot ? [14:57] It should mount on boot, but not halt if it UUID is no longer with us. [14:57] hey why doesnt yahoo messenger like things work in empathy [14:57] sandman70 hmm, you can see the USB jumpdrives, but you can not see the SD card reader? [14:57] spalshtop no, running 10.04 desktop. i don't understand what happened. i NEVER had a problem in 9.10. i don't think i'm the only one. hundreds of threads on the forums [14:57] emphathy doesn show room list for yahoo [14:57] erUSUL: Is there a do not freak out unless / is missing option? [14:57] / meaning root in this case [14:58] barfster: no that i know of. but i do not spect boot to halt if something can't be mounted. [14:58] spalshtop i had to do a lot of digging to figure out which drive was the USB jumpdrive, but yes, i eventually did so and was able to manually fdisk the drive into an ext3 and mount it [14:58] erUSUL: It did in my case [14:58] 8 hrs [14:59] and still only showing that the root system mounted fine and cleared with fsck [14:59] sandman70 1 sec lemme gran an SD crad [15:00] spalshtop lsusb does show the Alcor Micro Corp. Hi-Speed 21-in-1 Flash card reader [15:00] so i know the read is seen to the system [15:00] barfster: man mount ---> *nofail* Do not report errors for this device if it does not exist.

[15:03] sandman70 do you have a way to verify the CS card is good, just in case? i have gotten a bad one before (doesnt address automount but...) [15:04] er SD* [15:04] im back [15:04] spalshtop good suggestion but i actually bought 2 today and i've tried both. this isn't the first time either. so actually, i've tried 3 all together [15:04] sandman70 have you used the reader itself before? [15:05] spalshtop yes, many times. in 9.10 (and dare i say windows) it always worked fine [15:05] still having same problems can't login session as GNOME but can as FAILSAFE GNOME, any suggestions [15:05] splashtop and 9.04 and 8.10 and 8.04 [15:05] etc [15:05] sandman ok, we'll assume no strange death occured to it then [15:06] my weather panal app is not working, can anyone please help? its not loading the weather. just sitting there with 2 dashes where the temperature should be [15:06] splashtop for now i think that is a safe assumption, but i suppose what i could try is to use my single/standalone USB/SD card reader [15:06] i know 10.4 runs very well, but some reason the upgrade as opposed to new install, doesnt go well for some people. no idea why seems same thing happens in all os's [15:07] If I use the Alternate Install disk, can I bypass installing grub. That is, deposit the images in an existing /boot, but leave my existing grub alone? [15:07] opij use right-clik op the weather applet, and set the correct place [15:07] Muelli - you here? [15:07] Oer: that's already been done [15:08] opij try an other location, see if it is working ? [15:08] erUSUL: PM? [15:09] splashtop i don't underestimate 10.04 and i hope i am a rare case with this issue, although i've seen many posts about this topic on the forums. but ok, i must confess. i just pulled out my standalone USB/SD card reader and ploppped it into a USB port and guess what? it's working [15:09] barfster: why ? === keanu is now known as [keanu] [15:09] Details [15:09] thanks Oer that worked [15:09] erUSUL: here is the line that failed: #UUID="e43efe0b-f2e4-4eff-8541-124595d867ec" /var/www ext4 defaults 0 0 [15:09] splashtop i don't have the words [15:09] opij have fun :-) [15:09] Would it not fail if I changed it to: /msg erUSUL here is the line that failed: #UUID="e43efe0b-f2e4-4eff-8541-124595d867ec" /var/www ext4 defaults,nofail 0 0 [15:10] barfster: as i raid the man page; yes it will no fail. you can do a test [15:10] sandman70 forgive me but what do you mean by stand alone as opposed to the other one your using? [15:11] s/raid/read/ [15:11] spalshtop what i meant by standalone is one of those little jobbers that looks almost like a jumpdrive buy you plug an SD card in the back of it and pop it into a USB port. you know what? after thinking about this for the last 30 seconds, i might be on to something. my 21-in-1 reader is about 4-5 years old. the card i tried to read it with is an SDHC card. hmmmmmmmmm....... [15:12] ubuntu en español? disculpen [15:12] splashtop i'll be my 21-in1 reader doesn't support SDHC [15:12] !es | dorlan [15:12] dorlan: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I can't install libfontconfig1-dev 2.6.0-1ubuntu12. synaptic said it depends on =libfontconfig1 2.6.0 , but my libfontconfig1 is 2.8.0. How should I handle this? [15:13] feltham83: hm. weird. again: login failsafe, paste .xsession-errors and dmesg. [15:13] splashtop i have an old 512mb SD card (don't ask why). maybe i'll try that and see if my theory is right. in any event, it looks like after all this my 21-in1 reader may not be up to snuff for today's stuff. thanks. [15:13] has anyone seen the problem of corrupted fonts on Ubuntu 10+? [15:14] sandman70 512mb cards are good. small but nothing wrong with them [15:14] sandman70 great for cheaper cameras, expanding an older mp3 player etc [15:15] splashtop indeed. thanks for listening. your idea prompted me to use my little reader, which did the trick. now off to get music on this card for my kids' phone! [15:15] sandman70 So did the stand alone reader auto mount, you you still had to hand mount? [15:15] splshtop no, i automounted just fine [15:15] it [15:15] sandman70 Great! [15:15] Muelli - http://pastebin.com/gNRqneZf (xsession) [15:16] splashtop thanks again. logging off [15:16] sandman, have you ever seen the menu-system fonts on Ubuntu corrupted....nearly unreadable? [15:17] Muelli 0 http://pastebin.com/jyYyB6jf (dmesg) [15:17] plentok i have not, but are the desktop icons corrupted as well? if nothing else, you should be able to boot into safe mode and possibly try re-installing font packages again [15:17] plentok dumb question but is it perhaps a bad res or refresh rate, like on an lcd screen? [15:17] gotta run, thanks [15:17] no, only the fonts...and sometimes they are ok until I run the mouse over [15:17] <18VAA9CJ6> qualcuno mi aiuti [15:17] plentok my desktop looks like that out of naitive res for the lcd === 18VAA9CJ6 is now known as janos [15:18] Muelli - http://pastebin.com/04FVq33t (dmesg from gnome-session-log) === Guest85282 is now known as altF4_ [15:19] It's on a Compaq Preario V6000 laptop with nVidia graphics card and AMD Turion64 [15:19] hm feltham83. Can you try to disable your wireless, reboot and give me dmesg and xsession-errors again? The wireless floods your log... [15:19] i have this prroblem [15:19] io ho questo probhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/468365/ [15:19] I'm cloning my drive using rsync onto the same machine just trying to replace the drive with a larger one, would it be any issue or care that the old drive was ext2 and the new drive is ext4 filesystem... or should that not matter? [15:19] I found this line: dd if=/dev/hda | gzip -c | ssh root@host 'dd of=/path/to/file.img' bs=2048 but what means bs=2048 in this context? only speed? [15:19] barfster: block size [15:20] barfster: dd would assume a blocksize of 512 IIRC if you don't specify otherwise [15:20] Muelli - i resubmitted the dmesg log (http://pastebin.com/04FVq33t) here this doesn't show the flood [15:20] I know that, but what is the relevance in that context? [15:20] feltham83: yes, because it's incomplete. [15:20] plentok might make sure the nvidia driver is loaded vs generic. since they are fine sometimes till you move mouse im doubting the fonts themselves are corrupted [15:21] barfster: well. yes. speed is an issue. you could probably replace it with smth else. [15:21] hi, I am having crash in Lucid with Synaptic and software center, [15:21] sounds more display related, perhaps driver or mode [15:21] how do I run a tracert in linux? [15:21] I am just putting an optical content onto a HDD [15:21] destroth: tracerout [15:21] destroth: traceroute [15:21] what is the best way to check which graphics driver is loaded?

[15:22] barfster: yeah. might be inefficient. [15:22] plentok system > admin > hardware [15:22] but shuold work as well [15:22] whats the traceroute-nanog ? [15:22] hey guys. Is there a way to boot a live CD into pure text mode? I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an Esprimo V6515 with nVidia graphics, and the screen freezes as soon as it switches to the graphical mode on boot. [15:22] thats for quick answer BTW [15:22] Muelli: That works, but I do not say the bs [15:22] I'd like to try installing the nvidia drivers - but I need a console to do that... [15:23] Is ext4 only in the kernel or does it require anything outside the kernel as well? [15:23] barfster: so? [15:23] barfster: it's in-kernel [15:23] hello [15:23] Muelli: So byte size does not have anything to do with compatibility? [15:23] Ctrl+Alt+Fx doesn't work - the screen is just stuck on what it displayed just bofore the switch. [15:23] hi, I am having crash in Lucid with Synaptic and software center, somebody too? [15:24] blorg_: at grub press F6 and append "nomodeset" [15:24] some people know why my grub go in busybox? [15:24] barfster: well. usually not. But not always. In your case it porbably doesn't matter [15:24] !details | andresx [15:24] MaRk: Ahhh, thanks. [15:24] andresx: 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 ..." [15:24] what a good whois app?

[15:26] destroth: whois [15:26] is there any way to just install php5.2 on lucid without doing the downgrade route? installing 5.2 to begin with, without installing 5.3 first? and to install the other pieces that the php installation leaves off like mcrypt, gd, curl? [15:26] abd_: add it to /etc/inittab [15:26] Yeah, i found that thanks Muelli [15:26] helios_: tnx, .ko ro koja bezaram [15:26] plentok if the driver isnt activated its running in generic [15:27] j_ayen_green: download the source and build it yourself, or find a 5.2 package and use apt to install it [15:27] helios_: sorry, where should i put .ko? [15:27] plentok oh wait, you show 3 diff drivers? [15:27] can I copy in my normal session and paste that in my ctrl + alt + f1 session? [15:27] Can I call Qwest IP Admin And tellhim one ofhis nodedropping my connect? [15:28] yes, three diff drivers [15:28] abhijit: O_o No. Not easily. But why would you do that in first place? [15:28] well, three different versions [15:28] or how can i get a new node instead? [15:28] plentok well thats more choices than most have, but try one of the others see if it works better [15:28] Muelli, I am reading a guide for which i need to do some root actions. but I am in my normal account (which dont have root privelege) so rather than switching to root account i was thingking of this [15:29] :D [15:29] helios_: there is no /etc//inittab?? O_o [15:29] Muelli: It’s a UDF disk [15:29] This is the node giving me an error 205.171.45.114 [15:29] helios_: sounds reasonable :) I've been searching and found 20 different pages with 20 different sets of instructions... I'll look for a package [15:29] abhijit: O_o you can get root using "sudo" from wherever you are. I assume you are on your "desktop", that "normal" clicky sessinon. Just open a terminal and type sudo -s. [15:30] Muelli, I am on my standard account which dont have root privilages. [15:30] hi peeps! [15:30] Ok, I have ubuntu 10.04, but I never update system since I install it, then clicked in "Update System Manager" the last week, and the process was right, without, But Now when I try to view "software origins/source" the window crash, both synaptic and ubuntu software center [15:30] Update on nVidia progress... version 96 of the driver did not correct the corrupted font display...now trying version 173 [15:30] i'm using 10.4 and my torrent speeds are HORRIBLY slow [15:30] j_ayen_green: i've had to do that before, had a program our company used that broke with 5.3 so I had to find a 5.2 package, dont remember where though =/ [15:30] abhijit: so? Just type sudo -s and you get a root shell [15:30] Is there a way to change the line spacing for my icons? There's a lot of space between the filenames when they are longer than one line. [15:30] Does anyone else get error from 205.171.45.114 ? [15:31] Is there any type of "EDI Software" available for Linux? [15:31] helios_: yeah. 90% of what I do is site building with Drupal, and 5.3 is an issue [15:31] Muelli, abhijit is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

[16:25] naxil: booting? attempting to mount? check /etc/fstab might be a line commented out "/dev/sda4 was named during upgrade" [16:26] wenas [16:26] hi, im interested in installing ubuntu on a netbook. has 4 partitions (the max), i can only sacrifice 1 of them and still dual boot into winblows 7 (necessity unfortunately). Any idea how i can get a / partition and a swap partition? [16:27] shrike_: max 4 primary partitions? [16:27] How do I install the kernel source? [16:27] yeah...not sure if swap and / can be logical? [16:27] shrike_: so introduce extended/logical [16:27] stanmancan: linux-source [16:27] yes [16:28] shrike_: linux can bve installed in either type of partitions [16:28] shrike_, a swap isn't always necessary [16:28] whats a good tool for doing formating? the stock ubuntu netbook edition installer doesnt seem to allow me to create logical [16:28] erUSUL: Err http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security/main linux-source-2.6.31 2.6.31-20.58 [16:28] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.167 80] [16:28] Err http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security/main linux-source 2.6.31.20.33 [16:28] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.167 80] [16:28] Does anyone know a good noob guide to pen testing pls? [16:28] stanmancan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:28] stanmancan: a problem in the server. try later [16:29] BluesKaj: true, only have 1 gig of ram though, concerned it will be an issue [16:29] hi everyone [16:29] erUSUAL: yuck, okay thanks [16:29] waltz what i can do? [16:29] shrike_, do you need those rescue partitions required by windows ? [16:30] stanmancan: no problem; you can allway get vanilla source from kernel.org [16:30] booting [16:30] I just got myself a 2TB external HD and would like to backup my system, however all information I found on the wiki is about backing up directories. I would like to back up my full system so that in a worst case scenario I could use the backup to get the exact setup I had at that point including all applications, configurations, updates etc. is that possible? [16:30] shrike_, or that comes with the windows install/ [16:30] You could always get a USB or external for linux [16:31] i have the latest flash player 10.1 installed on lucid but i am prompted to update my flash player [16:31] USB linux is awsome anyway [16:31] try partimage or its sucesor [16:31] BluesKaj: I blew away the recovery partition, leaving win7, win7boot, efi [16:31] how hard is it to set up dual boot between fedora and ubuntu? Should I install ubuntu second to ensure GRUB2 is used? [16:31] destroth: yeah, im using it now, it is awesome. really want to use ubuntu most of the time though so would like it on the hd [16:32] tc, was that for me? AFAIK you have to unmount a partition to back it up using partimage, I can't see how that is usable if I want daily/weekly snapshots [16:32] econdudeawesome, no hard. its normal and easy [16:32] does ubuntu work well with HD TVs? I don't know why I have problems. [16:32] Backtrack has a USB ISO, it has a bunch of security tools built in [16:32] ojii: use clonezilla or partimage/fsarchiver to make images of the disk paritions ? [16:32] shrike_, w7 boot will be sacrificed when you install ubuntu, grub will become the bootloader for all OS's [16:32] Hey guise, I have just installed a new sata drive on my computer but Ubuntu is not detecting it. I think it might be a bios think and I was wondering whether reseting the bios to the defaults would fix it. I was just wondering, is there anything I should be careful about before reseting the bios? [16:33] hi abhijit [16:33] erUSUL, but the wiki explicitly warns from making images of partitions, that sounds scary [16:33] What is your wifi adapter? [16:33] what wiki ? [16:33] hello intranut [16:33] BluesKaj: ahhhh, so the w7 boot is just some lamo grub like thing? [16:33] erUSUL, the ubuntu wiki on backing up your system [16:33] if it w7 boot has it's own partition then that's adiff story . shrike_ [16:33] who have QTM too? [16:33] N00b001, sometimes in bios a particular port needs to be enabled [16:34] Is asking about xchat offtopic here? [16:34] erUSUL, also for partimage, i think you'll have to unmount your partition, so I don't see how i can use that on my main partition [16:34] N00b001: check "dmesg | grep -i ata" [16:34] N00b001: I would not reset the bios just yet. [16:34] ojii: a livecd [16:34] Is asking about xchat client offtopic here? [16:34] N00b001: does the new drive show up during POST [16:34] terry: no [16:34] erUSUL, that doesn't make backups easy... I want them daily or at least weekly, and I want them as automated as possible [16:35] thanks DIL, erUSUL and philinux. I'll try your advice now! What is POST? [16:35] hmmm, yeah. guess I will just try and get a couple of logical partitions in there.

[16:37] in windows [16:37] yeah BluesKaj, its OEM installed, no recovery disks. i already did a dd to backup recovery partition, looking into backing up/getting rid of the w7boot partition [16:38] erUSUL, i tried the command you told me, the results are here: http://pastebin.com/mXn1auQh It should detect 2 80GB drives and one 250 GB drive, I think a 80GB is still missing...

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [16:41] shrike_, it looks like W7 makes it's own boot partition during the install and retains it after linux/grub is installed :( [16:41] erUSUL, there is nothing plugged to the 2nd sata port, maybe thats the reason why it is disabled. Maybe I should just plug the missing drive to port 2? Yes, I got 2 80GB disks and one 250GB [16:41] :( [16:41] N00b001: whch one is missing ?

[16:43] N00b001: ata3 and ata4 [16:43] BluesKaj: yeah and apparently its a "non standard sector zoning" so if you blow away the partition it corrupts the partition table [16:43] erUSUL: I got 4 ports in the motherboard... I plugged the drive to the 4th... [16:44] ojii, see spada [16:44] N00b001: i recommend you to chexck bios and configure the sata chip to be in ahci mode.

I've googled around and the only ones I've found either rely on programs that I can't find in the Ubuntu repo, or gave me a mysterious error when I tried to use them [17:33] using vesa driver ^ [17:33] vsync in CCC and vsync in compiz settings enabled and still tearing.

[17:35] Gornjak: yeah the gui is still there but can't be seen, and logging back in doesn't change it, still, long time no see [17:35] free radeon driver is fine, but blows for performance. [17:35] muzer ubuntu is being install secondso I can use GRUB2 [17:35] econdudeawesome, the OS you're not booting from should have a different mountpoint [17:35] hi [17:35] Hello Ubuntu ;) [17:35] Gornjak: at least i know it's not just me ;/ [17:35] muzer does it matter which I choose? Should I create a new "folder" for the mountpoint? [17:35] and again: hey peoples: on an older ubuntu i had a sound mixer (somewhere at the loudspeaker icon/right click), where i could set 'subwoofer volume' or the like and some other attributes for the external usb speakers... now in 10.4 i don't find anything to control it. suggesteions? [17:36] i can read cd or dvds why?? [17:36] econdudeawesome, if you're going through the installer, it should be created automatically [17:36] econdudeawesome, I would put it in /media somewhere (like /media/other_os or something), but it honestly doesn't matter [17:36] i cloned my drive using rsync and reinstalled grub, the computer boots fine but when GDM comes up it locks up ...no keyboard or mouse... But the old drive works fine no problems... the filesystem is the same so im trying to figure out why it's giving me problems, where should i start looking to get this resolved? [17:36] some people can help me with a !alert dev/uu-iid" [17:36] froschi: terminal command; alsamixer [17:37] muzer well, here goes [17:37] Is there a binary translator I can use to translate the packets in wireshark? [17:37] guest, yeah, do you have to login before you can get to your desktop? If so, I've changed settings in screensaver not to lock the screen when it goes to screensaver. And since then the screen comes back just fine. Maybe this could work for you aswell. [17:37] guest: yeah, just tried that... nevertheless, i had some gtk thing or so on the koala [17:37] or was ist jaunty? [17:38] hmm - there really should be an Ubuntu wiki tutorial on setting up a repo. Not everyone is going to want to use PPAs... [17:39] bleah, that page is not in english. and btw you had success in making that? [17:39] hy i make apgrade to 10.4 and now i have no border in all my windows what to do ,in the upgrade proces has bean some errors [17:39] froschi: ummm i moved from dapper to lucid so can't say about the in between years. sorry [17:39] u can choose other language for translation [17:39] u have option on the page [17:40] bleah, ok. I wll read it later just give me a link again [17:40] if this FB 'virus' my friend tells me of exists, could it really shut down my system, from the browser? I dont see how [17:40] http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?category/Installation [17:40] bleah, thanks :) [17:41] VB will allow me to run two OS safely? [17:41] i can't solve this puzzle. Help me out [17:41] http://i.imgur.com/kMiMB.jpg [17:41] Gambino yes--one is host the other is guest [17:41] VB like visual basics? [17:41] or Vbox? [17:41] Gornjak: the thing is, it's not the screensaver that is the real agravation, there is no way to switch users except a hard reboot, and this is a four user machine... screensavers can all be set to "off" and the logged in user is fine, but the next user has to reboot before they can see anything at all. [17:41] Gambino I run windows XP and try out other linux distros in Vbox [17:42] Gambino it runs on top of Ubuntu [17:42] Gambino in my setup--but Vbox can be used with other systems too [17:42] And if I have security issues in WinXP, there is no risk in cross contamination running VB with Ubuntu? [17:42] Gambino unless you share drives [17:42] Gambino as in, set up a shared file where things can be written [17:42] thus i need a patch/work_around/hack that will fix this [17:43] econdudeawesome, Thanks, I'm going to give it a shot. [17:43] Gambino if the two systems are set up to run mutually exclusive, no problem. I've never had cross contamination [17:43] be back soon [17:43] there are some critical vulnerabilties:- http://secunia.com/advisories/26890/ [17:44] My question: I have Ubuntu 10.04 verson.

[17:51] octavio-rdz: tomboy notes, basket notes.. or a text file that you encrypt [17:51] octavio-rdz: kwallet would be my suggestion, but that's a kde app [17:51] i was hoping to have it in its own window. i was running ssh -X user@host then i would run gnome-session [17:52] but i see that vncing localhost would work too [17:52] my X is broke [17:52] guest: and is there anything like that but in gnome?

I was on here yesterday asking how to put videos on an iPod (nano 5th gen) and someone suggested banshee.... well... it is supposed to be able to put videos on an iPod... but mine is to new to work with it... :( [17:56] my gui is broken ! [17:57] i m new to ubuntu [17:57] ok, first off right click on the top panel, then go to "add to panel..." waseem, then find the brightness applet and double click it to add to the panel [17:57] I have set up XChat to start when I log in to my Ubuntu user; the only problem is that it starts too soon, and that the XChat icon isn't shown in the panel. Is there a way to delay the starting of this program by, say, 10 seconds? [17:57] waseem: are you new to linux in general? [17:57] neocortex: you could try rdiff-backup === mike_ is now known as Guest2754 [17:57] frxstrem, you'll need to make a small script to start it in delay mode [17:57] guest I ran it and it says the possible resolutions. everytime i restart the pc the resolution is highest possible but for me itr is uncomfortable. [17:58] krysis_: ok, thanks :) [17:58] yes, m new to lunix@ gartral [17:58] you know how frx? [17:58] gueest ...so i have to change it manually every time... [17:58] is there any particular reason it says the 64 bit install is not for daily desktop use? [17:58] krysis_: yes [17:58] shpngld: xrandr can not only display settings but also adjust/change them [17:58] ok just make sure u have #!/bin/bash as the first line [17:58] then use "sleep 10" on the next line [17:59] and make executable then just select through startup apps [17:59] guest how to do it? [17:59] <[4-tea-2]> Howdy. Trying to install lucid on a notebook, after the installation is completed, I have no video (no X, no tty). Any ideas how to proceed - is there a magical grub cmd line parameter that would give me some safe VGA graphics so I could find out what's wrong? [17:59] man xrandr shpngld [17:59] @krysis, I added the brightness applet, it is set to minimum & when I click on it it doesn't let me change the level of brightness!! [17:59] shpngld: example near the bottom [17:59] guest Im checking now [17:59] waseem, it looks to be a problem with compatibility =( [18:00] waseem, as far as this goes it won't be easy to get it working, your best bet is to keep updating ubuntu and hoping an update fixes it [18:00] might be, when I scroll the mouse over is, it say Cannot get laptop brightness [18:00] waseem, also you can go to ubuntuforums.org and post your problem there so that the WHOLE community can take a look at it and add it as a fix in the ubuntu updates when its found [18:01] waseem, yes it is definately incompatibility [18:01] i realy need help how to reupgrade to 10.4 becouse i make an upgrade but whit errors [18:01] whats your laptop model waseem? [18:01] Can anyone help with a Creative X-Fi Driver's problem I'm having in 10.4? [18:01] [4-tea-2]: ummm try left_alt+right_dirrection or alt+f1 to see if there is tty's just hidden, or no. [18:01] dementor, you'll need to burn yourself a new 10.04 CD and install it directly, lots of times updates don't go very smoothly.. [18:01] dementor, you have split partition install? [18:02] no i use lvm [18:02] <[4-tea-2]> guest: I tried that, incl ctrl+alt+f1 (f2, f3...) [18:02] lvm? [18:02] [4-tea-2]: one of my installs went like that too. the tty's were active just hard to accesss [18:02] becouse is server [18:02] better now... [18:02] ah ic [18:02] <[4-tea-2]> guest: I suspect the kernel switches to fb gfx and then all is lost. [18:02] [4-tea-2]: the new splash scheem is a bad joke imo [18:02] I read that X-fi drivers are supposed to be built into ALSA in Koadic... It looks to me like the driver is installed, but I hear no sound. [18:03] Hi anybody know, where is "aliases" file in ubuntu 10.04 ? [18:03] <[4-tea-2]> guest: removing splash and quiet from the grub command line didn't help either. [18:03] well, iḿ looking for an alternative to WinSCP, i need to be able to synchronize remote ftp folders with local copies, but just to sync changes, not all, not mirror, to sync goes further [18:03] Hi. Is there a way to fully remove Pulseaudio and go back to whatever was working before. I think that was ALSA? [18:03] [4-tea-2]: not all, alt+sysRQ+r and try it. "resets to xlate keyboard mode" [18:03] cablop: rsync [18:03] jbrady: have you checked alsa mixer to be sure the sliders are maxed? [18:03] krysis_ can i re upgrade ?? [18:03] well you should consider using a split partition install just for updates that go wrong, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/CJay554#p/u/21/Xb_854AIMRg dementor [18:03] Paca-Vaca: what is that file supposed to do? [18:03] is anybody using 10.10? [18:03] [4-tea-2]: yeah the splash screen is part of upstart or something stuppid like that.... i hate it. [18:03] Muelli... mmm never used it, itś command line so iḿ afraid to mess something [18:03] I'm brand new to Ubuntu... but I have a volume key on my keyboard... I see the volume slider appear on the desktop and go up and down. [18:04] u can't reupgarde dementor once its there its there [18:04] where would I find the alsa mixer? [18:04] is there any gui alternative to sync a remote ftp folder with its local copy? [18:04] there is no way to "roll back" changes for an upgrade [18:04] <[4-tea-2]> guest: no change, still no tty after ctrl+alt+f1 [18:04] system -> preferences -> sound? [18:04] jbrady: in a terminal execute alsamixer (I believe) [18:04] cablop: there are GUIs for rsync [18:04] in my windows 7 install i have an OS partition and a DATA partition, is it possible to install ubuntu onto just the data installation so I have both windows and linux on the same machine without loosing my current windows installation? [18:04] i have no border on my all windows theast de plb [18:05] ah nice, Muelli ! what is its name? [18:05] <[4-tea-2]> Is there a kernel option to disable the framebuffer? === louiph is now known as Louiph [18:05] Alexzor: hm. That is the default behaviour of wubi IIRC. [18:05] executed... all are at max except for master which is at half, and is what my volume control affects...so that's not it. [18:05] dementor, to fix the border [18:05] [4-tea-2]: ok. then you can add init=/bin/bash to the grub line and try that. warning you'll have to manually mount/unmount the root fs [18:05] dementor, press alt+f [18:05] alt+f2 [18:05] @krysis, tell u what, the installation I am running on the machine right now, was downloaded from the Dell website, some user had posted there a Ubuntu 10.04 tailored fro Dell laptops. I was facing wireless issues on the installations which I downloaded from ubuntu.com. Now this Dell tailored ubuntu has got Netbook Editions as well, including 2D. The .iso files that I downloaded from ubuntu.com did show notifications when I pressed [18:05] how do i mount my cd drive please??? [18:05] then type in "metacity --replace" [18:05] I get a boot medium fatal error when attempting to run XP from VB. Any advice? [18:05] <[4-tea-2]> guest: been there, didn't help either. No /bin/bash in the initrd. ;) [18:05] Can u suggest me the best location, I m in India [18:06] Muelli: i was under the impression that didnt install ubuntu, it just ran it inside the existing windows environment, I want to be able to choose which OS to boot to [18:06] greezmunkey, you still there? [18:06] cablop: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rsync+gui [18:06] <[4-tea-2]> guest: init complained about being killed, kernel panicked. Which was kinda unexpected. [18:06] jbrady: yes, checking something else.. [18:06] Alexzor: hm. That is the default behaviour of wubi IIRC. [18:06] [4-tea-2]: so your system is not finding the install fs [18:06] i wanted to say thanks Muelli but you killed that intention [18:06] jbrady: Is your stuff usb, like usb speakers? [18:06] waseem if you give me your laptop model i can maybe find out a forum that may have the fix [18:06] krysis_ theat works:* [18:07] <[4-tea-2]> guest: so I need to add a boot= parameter when trying init=/bin/bash, huh? [18:07] When configurating crond daemon, it's send mail to root. On aliases file that may configure [18:07] good =) is that the only problem for the upgrade dementor ? [18:07] its Inspiron N4010 [18:07] <[4-tea-2]> guest: make that a "root=" [18:07] No.. It's a Creative X-fi Elite Pro [18:07] Paca-Vaca: don't query me unless it's important. [18:07] no [18:07] [4-tea-2]: ummm no you need to have the rootfs mounted via real device {my guess} something like root=/dev/sda5 [18:08] The drivers are supposed to be built into ALSA in Koadic Karma... I just installed 10.4 [18:08] life is short to understand linux (kubuntu ubuntu xubuntu edubuntu mandriva debian) i am confused [18:08] ok good =) enjoy dementor [18:08] <[4-tea-2]> guest: I'll try. [18:08] waseem, for the brightness, so your saying it worked fine with Dell's Ubuntu but not the original ubuntu.com CD? [18:08] Paca-Vaca: /etc/aliases is a postfix file IIRC. But if you only want cron to send the mail to a different address, write MAILTO=foo@bar.com in your crontab [18:08] Muelli: forgive me, but does Wubi run ubuntu inide the current WIndows session? or does it create the instal on the DATA partition? [18:08] every time i turn my computer i get a surprise [18:08] Paca-Vaca: man crond [18:08] my xorg is still broken someone that knows something help me [18:09] Paca-Vaca: "When executing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if such exists).

When I entered the "make" command it popped up with some missing file errors. [18:09] <[4-tea-2]> guest: suprise, no /bin/bash, but Ubuntu kicked me into a busybox. That should be good enough to fix the video problem, thanks. [18:09] Alexzor: Wubi creates a disk image for ubuntu, but runs as a diferent OS [18:09] !wubi | Alexzor, you would reboot out of windows but the file holding ubuntu is hosted on a windows partition [18:09] Alexzor, you would reboot out of windows but the file holding ubuntu is hosted on a windows partition: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [18:09] [4-tea-2]: the video problem is that the rootfs is not mounted [18:09] jbrady: I had an issue similar, and loaded pulseaudio manager from the repos, I found a setting there that made sound work for me. You can open up your Synaptic package manager and search for it. [18:10] what does pulseaudio do? [18:10] * Muelli wonders if that'll work: [18:10] !man crond [18:10] krysis, on Dell's ubuntu it doesnt work & on original ubuntu it showed a notification, but it didnt go down any further than 2 steps [18:10] maybe its my hardware s fault [18:10] no [18:10] my video problem on the other hand is that ubuntu is a peace of junk OS [18:10] Alexzor: wubi creates an image file on top of the windows NTFS volume and makes it contain the ubuntu install [18:10] Thanks [18:10] <[4-tea-2]> guest: no. [18:11] [4-tea-2]: ? /bin/bash not existant and the rootfs is mounted ??? [18:11] waseem, i'll look into your problem for you, but since you being a new user i'd like to introduce you to my channel to learn how to use Ubuntu: http://www.youtube.com/user/CJay554#p/c/CC32EDDC038F6AB2 While you do that i'll go ahead and try and find a solution for you, is that ok? [18:11] <[4-tea-2]> guest: the system boots fine, I can even hear the Gnome start sound. The filesystem is mounted fine (with exception of now, because I fumbled) [18:11] <[4-tea-2]> guest: I gave the wrong partition to root= [18:12] Hello. I'm trying to install to a multi-boot system. I already have a boot partition and grub set up. How can I make sure the ubuntu alternate installer puts ONLY the kernel images onto /boot? [18:12] krysis oh why not, thanks for your help [18:12] [4-tea-2]: so your origenal problem is the same as mine. xorg is trash ? [18:12] greezmunkey: checked synaptic.... pulseaudio 1:0.9.22 is installed. libpulse0 also installed. libpulse-browse0, pulseaudio-utils, libpulse-mainloop-glib0 all installed already... [18:12] <[4-tea-2]> guest: I still think it's the kernel framebuffer that fscks it up. [18:12] hi [18:13] jbrady: I could be wrong here, but it seems that pulseaudio *is* the sound system. [18:13] Do you mean "paman" ...which has description "PulseAudio Manager" ? [18:13] the reality is humans are smarter than google, but some humans forgot that and thing that google can replace a nice advise and an expert suggestion [18:13] question: the things (applets) in my panel gets moved around in different places at each login, can anything be done to fix this, or is it just gnome that sucks in yet another way? [18:13] *think [18:13] jbrady: I'll get the package name for you, brb [18:13] thanks several times. [18:13] <[4-tea-2]> guest: ...because even if I try to boot into a mode that doesn't use X, I still get blank video a few seconds into booting. [18:13] i made an upgrade to 10.10 and i got a low resolution warning at start [18:14] humans are smarter but google remembers more [18:14] yesterday 9.10 lost access to windows [18:14] hello. during installation of ptoftpd "ftp" user is created in addition to "proftpd" user. for what if "ftp" user? "proftpd" - to run proftpd. [18:14] jbrady: it is called "paman" here. [18:14] <[4-tea-2]> guest: I think the kernel option I was looking for was "nofb". I'll try that now. [18:14] hello. during installation of proftpd "ftp" user is created in addition to "proftpd" user. for what is "ftp" user? "proftpd" - to run proftpd. [18:14] 10.04 has a slow internet issue [18:14] but google don answer questions... so google < human experience... except if the "expert" has no experience [18:15] jbrady: it's pretty cool, gives you extra controls. I found on this system that a field needed to be ticked to get my usb headset to work. I have no sound card on this box. [18:15] jbrady: It may just help you as well! [18:16] damn... how can i make the us-intl keyboard to work like the standard one? this thing keeps eating my 't all the time [18:16] for **********'s sake.....

[18:17] no itś not a fatter thumb... it's the us-intl keyboard allow to put special characetrs, but when you type ' followed by t then it just ignopre the thing instead of writing both characters [18:17] ' is a deadkey in us-intl layout [18:18] ...thank you again for trying to help, anyway. Hopefully if someone else has this problem, I'll be able to help them at some point. I've been working on this for 2+ hours. [18:18] cablop, ah, wierd. can you just use the normal KB setting?

The Linux drivers were released in 2006... the windows 7 drivers a month ago.

[18:20] hi everyone [18:21] i m sad i cant help cause i cant program [18:21] hi man [18:21] anyone to help me? [18:21] krysis shall i paste the output?

That's what I usually have the most trouble with. [18:22] hey man [18:22] i nedd [18:22] help [18:22] dludldin, no offense but if you cant properly ask a question, programming is the least of your worries [18:22] then you'll have a new text file in your hope directory, open that up and copy/paste it to www.pastebin.com and link me to it [18:22] home* [18:22] anyone to help me?

[18:29] wiesshund: I was thinking it was some kind of permissions issue, or maybe something didn't get soft-linked right. [18:29] krysis_: We still have to follow the rules.

I don't know what going through Firefox does, but it definitely adds something.

[18:48] ClayG: no it wont [18:48] ClayG: it will give uptime of the pc [18:48] Hi, I want to know how much bandwidth a server is using, is there a standard command for measuring per-process bandwidth? [18:48] idd ClayG it just says how long the pc has been up [18:48] IdleOne, ok, is there an application or way to tell how often my internet goes down, maybe something that sends pings to a known good site and recocrds the times they do not return? [18:48] ClayG, System Monitor? system-> admin-> system monitor [18:49] ClayG: I don't know of any but that doesn't mean they don't exist.you can try searching in Synaptic Package Manager [18:49] can some one help me get 3d running so that i can have fluid 3d animation for compiz [18:49] IdleOne, I'll give that a shot [18:49] ClayG: try "mtr" [18:50] ne1 got any URL recommendations to good Gwibber themes (mako compatible)?

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 ..." [18:52] ClayG: check your router for issues [18:52] a problem with 3d acceleration [18:53] ClayG, for that you'd need to see if there is something available for linux like pingplotter, to monitor your internet over time === crow is now known as Guest84208 [18:53] not getting full fluid animations and effect with my ATI x1650 GPU AGP based [18:53] IMJ: of course probably got to install propritary driver for that [18:53] ClayG, unfortunately i dont know a linux app off hand, someone else may though [18:53] ClayG: you can just leave ping running in a terminal [18:53] wish i could do that [18:53] hspaans, I'll check that is actually a good idea I think there might be something liek that there, wiesshund that sounds exactly what i....what now? [18:53] but my card is under legacy support [18:53] wiesshund, oh i see pingplotter does not work for nix? is it windows? [18:53] IMJ: I think its more for Nivida, but anything under system > administration > hardware drivers ? [18:53] any terminal based utility that convert youtube vid to mp3 ? [18:53] as per ATI support policy [18:54] ClayG, i think its windows only but you could run it in wine perhaps [18:54] hello [18:54] sharplinux, and when i come back in 24 hours how will i know what percent it was down? [18:54] sebs > nope no drivers [18:54] wiesshund, sounds good, im going to try to grab it now [18:54] !ati | IMJ [18:54] IMJ: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:54] ClayG: when you stop ping, it provides stats [18:55] IMJ an ATI card should show itself using proprietary drivers in the hardware panel [18:55] I am new to Ubuntu..odd question..wondering if there is software that can draw 2-d floor plans to show floor layouts..been searching with no luck [18:55] it doesnt [18:55] I upgraded my system just so I could use OpenShot video editor. I really like it except for the fact that I can't preview the sound. [18:55] sharplinux, is there a switch or something for that? when i ping yahoo for instance if the internet is not up it will time out and then drop me to the command line again [18:55] so...freshly installed ubuntu comes with gnome shell and it is possible to "upgrade" the environment to kde or compiz? [18:55] i am not sure which driver i am using anyways [18:55] ClayG: do 'man ping' in a terminal - you'll get some good info [18:55] dludldin: no [18:55] sharplinux, i am a nublit though in nix so im sure there are thousands of things im overlooking [18:55] crow_: yes there is. Cant remember the name. I think it's in the repos [18:56] Can anyone tell me how to get OpenShot to play audio. [18:56] dludldin: no Gnome Shell in Ubuntu by default, and not eveven 10.10 wil be using that, you can however install it yourself, older version in repo, ppa for later [18:56] ClayG: ping should not time out by default [18:56] sharplinux, yeah ill try that as a last resort , im not intelligent enough to understand the wording of man's but it's a good suggestion if all else fails [18:56] i am using the LTS version of Ubuntu [18:56] IMJ: ok 10.04? [18:56] latest edition [18:56] sudo ? are you root ? running what release? [18:56] Hello, I have a external HD formatted as ntfs. After a bad shutdown, ubuntu doesn't find the HD. Windows finds it perfectly though. How do I fix this? [18:56] dludldin: you can install kde-core and get KDE [18:56] YUP [18:57] yup [18:57] IMJ: a previous version of Ubuntu such as 8.04, would probably be better with your card, but maybe not. Thats the previous LTS, still supported on desktop untill the end of April next year. === lux` is now known as Guest86224 [18:57] true [18:57] HiddenKnowledge: start gnome-terminal, put the drive in and see with "dmesg | tail" what is going wrong [18:57] i have just come from Opensuse [18:57] 11.3 [18:57] IMJ: ok what was OpenSuse like with the card?

I'm really screwed because I installed a open source version and ubuntu packages keep referencing the sun one, now nothing new will install without it. [18:59] dludldin: ubuntu core is just ubuntu without a DE or WM [19:00] dludldin: kde-core will give you a desktop environment === lux`` is now known as lux`sof2 [19:00] I'm using 10.04, universe repository is enabled.. And it can't find the package. [19:00] Enox: sun-java is in the partner repo [19:00] !partner | Enox [19:00] Enox: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [19:00] Enox: I used sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts [19:01] H__ - Sure, and that's what all the documentation says to do. [19:01] Enox: and trism's remark ? [19:01] Enox: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [19:01] Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. [19:01] Hello again! I just tried rsync, but had no luck with it to copy my home folder to usb hdd. Previously, I tried cp -fr and cp-a and even tar cvpjf. No luck! Please, help! Either some files are not allowed to be copied or are too big for tar. [19:01] hspaans: Was that supposed to fix the problem? Because it did. [19:02] hspaans: I installed dmraid onto the system I described, I went through all the steps to install lvm, and then installed Ubuntu server. All went well. It updated fine, and I shut it down (properly) and restarted cold twice to be sure all was good. My partner took the machine, and told me that drive three does not seem to operate as he didn't see and led activity on that drive. [19:02] Enox: enable the partner repos in Software Sources then the sun packages will be available [19:02] Enox: which package do you try to install? [19:02] crow | see qcad sagcad and blender [19:02] unfortunately right know i cant research the web right know but thaks for the tip [19:02] Enox: what doyou have now ? sudo update-java-alternatives -l [19:02] crow_: there's qcad in the repo [19:02] dludldin: no worries dude [19:02] Thanks, hspaans. :D [19:02] neocortex: what was the specific command you used? [19:02] HiddenKnowledge: No, mostlikely the fs was broken and windows fixed it when you plugged in [19:03] crow_: Remembered it. http://www.sweethome3d.com/index.jsp [19:03] hspaans: I haven't had to t/shoot a lvm enabled system to date, and need to be sure of the steps, that's all! [19:03] neocortex: too big ? how much data are we talking about ? [19:03] I went to root in console and did (from /home folder): cp -a / /media/usb_hdd/ [19:03] greezmunkey: you have a three way mirror? [19:03] neocortex: you mentioned rsync? [19:04] hspaans: dmraid, set as raid 5 [19:04] Yes, rsync -a [19:04] That worked! Thank you. The documentation for this seemed to state the "Universe" reposity should hold sun JRE, I guess that changed?? [19:04] neocortex: install grsync , GUI for rsync that is simple to use [19:04] hy againe how do i configure my mouse and keyboard in 10.4 from console [19:04] neocortex: sudo apt-get install grsync [19:04] neocortex: was there an error? [19:04] greezmunkey: you're booting of a raid5? btw see with "cat /proc/mdstat" [19:05] H__, it is about 8GB, it is VirtualBox [19:05] so the only way to bulk encode is through use of a script [19:05] neocortex: that should be just fine with tar, and rsync, and cp. Something else is wrong, anything in syslog ? [19:05] whoah. now i got a very different prblem. i have a keyboard with a broken 'return' key... on the numpad is fine... this works ok in regular use, shell, editing, etc... only in 'less' in the shell when searching with '/', i cannot 'enter' the query.... what can i change (except for the keyboard?) (it gives /ESCOM there, when i 'enter' following '/', which is strange since the hardware vendor 'escom' doesn't exist for 10++ years here in germany) [19:06] sharplinux, yes: too big file and some are not allowed to be copied. I even logout and did everything as root, from console [19:06] hspaans: what's wrong with booting from a raid5 setup? [19:06] froschi: maybe try hitting ctrl+m ? [19:06] greezmunkey: /boot can't be on a raid 5 disk, or a raid 0 [19:07] H__, no nothing in particular [19:07] neocortex: what sort of filesystem is on the USB HDD? ext3? ntfs? fat? [19:07] maco: yeah, thanks :) [19:07] sharplinux, fat32 [19:07] i had problems with power daemon, sometimes the monitor is won`t turning off [19:07] neocortex: then what are the errors you got with tar, rsync, cp ? [19:07] neocortex: fat32 has a 4GB limit for file transfers [19:08] ikonia: ok, I read that wrong - one of the drives has a seperate /boot partition (it's on drive #1) you had me worried for a sec! [19:08] i thinking that after watching some movie with totem the this problem is apearing [19:08] sharplinux, Oooo stupid me [19:08] neocortex: not stupid - I had to learn that too :-) [19:08] greezmunkey: good good, it's important to understand the "rules" [19:08] neocortex: you're copying towards a fat32 filesystem ? [19:08] sharplinux, Then, I just need to make ext3 fs? [19:08] H__, yes [19:09] neocortex: do you need it to be visible on Windows (or Mac)? [19:09] H__, and sharplinux just told me that that caused the problem [19:09] neocortex: ok :) sharplinux is right [19:09] ikonia: hspaans: no doubt. My issue is that I'm not quite sure where to start, check if it's a lvm issue, or a dmraid issue, which to do first, etc. [19:09] hy againe how do i configure my mouse and keyboard in 10.4 from console [19:10] neocortex: if not, ext3 would be ideal [19:10] sharplinux, Yes, I would prefer that, although I use Linux only and VirutalBox Win XP for some compatibility with my colleagues [19:10] I'm currently 'trying' out 10.4... it's passed all of my 'tests' ... I have a system that has an LVM, and I don't see a way to use the installer to set up the LVM. Am I missing something? [19:10] greezmunkey: I'm not touching any machine with / on software raid5, sorry [19:11] sharplinux, Can I exclude whole .VirtualBox folder? [19:12] Hey, I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my MacBook, and was wondering if there were some "easy" way of getting the keyboard mapped correctly - is it is on OS X? As it is now, i have no way of making @ and dollar sign and so on. [19:12] neocortex: it *looks like* the rsync option would be --exclude='.VirtualBox' if you wanted to (see man rsync [19:12] neocortex: see the --include-globbing-filelist option for rsync [19:12] neocortex: with rsync add --exclude='.VirtualBox' [19:13] hspaans: ok, from a best practices point of view then, it seems that if you are going to raid anything it would purely be a data partition then? [19:13] heh [19:13] ok like 98 degrees out, im goin in the pool, back later === wiesshund is now known as wiesshund_inpool [19:14] You know when you change a song in rhythmbox or get a message in piding?

[19:14] ChrisBuchholz-> I remember klaatu has a whole segment awhile back on 'the bad apples' [19:14] sharplinux, H__, THANKS A LOT! So, I should do: rsync -a --exclude=.VirtualBox? rsync is better than cp? [19:14] neocortex: i prefer rsync in these situations as it can skip parts already done [19:15] neocortex: that should work - yes, rsync is better (designed for what you're doing), and you're welcome [19:15] greezmunkey: buy a fourth disk and make it raid1+0 [19:15] sharplinux, THANKS! [19:15] kernel_geek: the program is notify-osd, and it really has not settings to adjust (unless you recompile it) [19:16] hspaans: ok, thanks -ikonia as well - it actually helped just to type it out! I think I will rebuild it as you suggest hspaans :) [19:16] neocortex: theres alos grsync which is a gui for rsync, it also shows you the command it will execute [19:17] trism: I would like to adjust its position, it is currently displaying off my screen [19:18] HELLO!

[20:07] rj99: its free to test [20:08] thewolf: i dont use ipod, i have a mind of my own [20:08] lol [20:08] it's just an mp3 player [20:08] same as any other... maybe a little nicer than most [20:08] Sometimes, when I setup a static IP in /etc/networking/interfaces, after a while, dhcp still resets the IP away from the static back to what the DHCP server wants it to be. I have resolved this before my uninstalling dhcplient, but it seems like there's a better way. What do you suggest? [20:08] ActionParsnip: I got it for the quality and the videos and the interface... [20:08] rj99: awesome is a window manager, gnome is a desktop environment [20:09] Is there any way to speed up the boot process? I've already gotten rid of startup applications I didn't deem necessary for a netbook. [20:09] ActionParsnip, One of the lead guys at BT advised, if you wanna use an ipod, use a windows environment as apple is as evil as M$....lol [20:09] oh yes, Apple is super evil :P they're wourse than doctor evil [20:09] metalgeek: some versions of itunes work with some versions of wine [20:10] wourse=worse [20:10] ActionParsnip, So i hear, that dosn't make @pple any less irritating [20:10] I have had succes with running iTunes with wine... didn't reconize the iPod at all and wasn't able to acces the iTunnes store [20:10] metalgeek: i avoid their stuf, its overpriced and underspec'd [20:10] thewolf, sorry dude [20:11] not to mention apple has a cult following [20:11] ActionParsnip: I am aware of that, but im not using gnome panel or anything like that, is there something im missing? [20:11] ActionParsnip: Thought we all have to admit... the company is better than Microsoft [20:11] tiemonster: thats all you can really do dude, reducing stuff is one of the best ways === marc__ is now known as Guest32111 [20:11] nah, I like Microsoft better... [20:12] thewolf: dunno, microsoft contribute to stuff outside their own interests occasionally [20:12] thewolf: they also helped make samba afair [20:12] ActionParsnip: the desktop version seems a bit slower than UNR. Maybe it's the window manager? [20:12] ActionParsnip, Thinking about taking ECDL, any thoughts? [20:13] rj99: could try +m time instead of now [20:13] Hey ubuntu gurus: I just installed 10.04, and it doesn't seem to have installed grub into the MBR of any drives. I get the windows bootloader if I boot my windows drive, and if I try to boot the drive Ubuntu is actually installed to, I get "no such disk" [20:13] and a grub-rescue prompt [20:13] The disk is there, it booted properly when I had debian 6 on it. [20:13] tiemonster: could try a lighter DE etc, that will make the system boot faster after the services have loaded which it will not affect [20:13] Kittymew, Reinstall GRUB? [20:14] !grub | Kittymew [20:14] Kittymew: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [20:14] metalgeek: yeah thought I'd drop in and ask for WHY it screwed up before... [20:14] ...nevermind. Nobody actually knows. [20:14] Got it. [20:15] wow some people have all the patience [20:15] gtkpod worked... though for the record I could get some of my friends using Ubuntu if it had a more user friendly way of adding anything to any iPod/iPhone [20:16] I wish to install Wine1.2, but apt responds by telling wine1.2 is already installed. running wine --version tells me the installed version is wine-1.1.42; what do I miss? [20:17] sds: that wine-1.1.42 is actually 1.2beta [20:17] kitteh: that is an issue. I ran into it myself. I used the install cd in rescue mode, and that sucessfully wrote the grub2 mbr === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [20:17] sds: you can add the wine oficial ppa if you want 1.2 final [20:18] sds: $ wine --version --> wine-1.2 [20:18] Guess he's gone then, didn't mean to offend :( [20:18] ; === hamid is now known as Guest91465 [20:19] erUSUL, Good evening, Nice to see you, Hope your having a good day :) [20:20] metalgeek: hi; quite good yes; thanks ;P [20:20] erUSUL, metalgeek , the love in this channel is touching [20:20] Action Parsnip? [20:21] erUSUL: ok, thank you for the hint. guess that 1.2 final will be available soon under ubuntu's repo? [20:21] monkey_dust, You just wanna hug dontcha :) [20:21] sds: no; ubuntu only updates package versions when a new version of ubuntu comes out. [20:22] erUSUL: ok, thank you [20:22] !ppa > sds [20:22] sds, please see my private message [20:22] So anyway, my question was reguarding the ECDL and whether i should take it or not as it seems to concentrate on Windows OS [20:23] and i'm learnin Ubuntu at the moment [20:23] :D [20:23] how can I turn off bluetooth permanently? [20:23] I hate switching it off each time I turn on my laptop... [20:23] unhook your bluetooth card [20:23] Janhouse, remove your bluetooth device [20:24] Faissal, it is built in. I need software solution. [20:24] Janhouse, I take it thast its built in? [20:24] It is lame that ubuntu doesn't remember that I turned it off last time I used computer. [20:24] that [20:24] Janhouse: you can blacklist the BT modules or use rfkill in /etc/rc.local to switch it off [20:25] ok, thx erUSUL. [20:25] guys, what's the command again to unlock apt? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/468574/ [20:25] Janhouse, is it a notebook? unscrew the case, find the bt card, remove the cable. [20:25] This is kind of stupid that it is not possible to do it from gui.... [20:25] Janhouse, im pretty sure you can find the bluetooth card [20:25] and remove it [20:25] Faissal, that is not the point. [20:25] Janhouse, It's pretty stupid that you have to use a GUI ;-) [20:25] Glad to see everyone brought there sense of humor tonight... [20:25] It's easily done with the shell [20:26] Janhouse: have a look in start up apps [20:26] Janhouse, you can maybe disable it in the bios [20:26] hi, Iam trying to set up the remote control that comes with my hp laptop [20:26] #ubuntu - the new #windows [20:26] erUSUL, already provided me with solution thx. [20:27] monkey_dust: are you running synpatic or is there an update going on the background? sudo lsof | grep lock [20:27] hi [20:27] !hi | tofi_ [20:27] tofi_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

I think I need to do some path editing but I'm not sure, any help? [20:29] ilovefairuz, not this one :D [20:30] Janhouse: do you use bluetooth at all? you can blacklist the kernel module if you never use it [20:30] That is the problem. I use it sometimes [20:30] Janhouse: turn off visibility and you shouldn't be concerned [20:30] I am suprised that it is not possible using existing bluetooth applet. [20:31] It is pretty advanced but doesn't remember bluetooth status [20:31] any 1 able to help me with my graphics. i just enabled my 3d effect and now my screen is stuck in 640x480 [20:31] ilovefairuz, doesn't it affect laptop battery?

[20:33] octavio: check the actual driver in lshw, no need for speculation [20:34] hi all [20:34] how to change background console [20:34] I've been looking a way to get the ati driver (the open source) working in lucid, it workded perfet(almost) in 9.04 [20:34] bidaboy: edit > profiles [20:34] thewolf: 64 bit? [20:34] skreet, not in xserver [20:35] ilovefairuz: yes... sigh [20:35] bidaboy: oh. [20:36] thewolf: the flash plugin is actually 32 bit and is wrapped to work on 64 bit so there are performance implications [20:36] I just quit the ati graphics from motherboard to check the intel drivers,sorry :S [20:36] skreet, before starting any desktop [20:36] Octavio: see what /var/log/Xorg.0.log says [20:36] I tried 32 bit but my fan is broke and it couldn't read the disc.. I had to use the Windows installer from the website and it auto installed the 64 bit [20:36] bidaboy: no idea.. also why? [20:36] ilovefairuz: anyway to fix? [20:37] any one else know to change console background image, [20:37] thewolf: no that i'm aware of. but you can download the 32 bit iso and place it in the same directory as wubi.exe (the windows installer) and it will be detected [20:37] I'll have to reboot be back in 5 mins, to explain more efficient [20:37] bidaboy: what console? gnome terminal or virtual consoles ? === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [20:38] bidaboy: do you the x image ( the image you see when you log in) [20:38] ilovefairuz: he is referring to virtual consoles [20:38] bidaboy, try using ubuntu-tweak [20:38] ilovefairuz, before starting xserver [20:38] ok, missed that part [20:38] ubuntu-tweak !? [20:38] bidaboy: do you mean the splash screen ?

[20:44] ilovefairuz, what u meant [20:44] are there any pinguy users here? [20:44] ilovefairuz: or he could just get Ubuntu tweak... it can purge ppa [20:44] Look into Synaptic manager and install ppa purge, then ppa purge and the ppa you want to quit [20:44] You need getdeb to get ppa purge [20:44] I know [20:44] How do I apt-get install a specific version of a package?

[23:43] help! i can't get grub to find my vista partition! i've tried evertying and i just can't come to a solution! I think my main problem is that os-prober only shows up my linux partition and nothing else... it should show up my windows partition too right? [23:43] Guest52417: you could try uptate-flashplugin command (not pretty sure if that is correctly typed) [23:43] Mqueue: well check around, i can't see what's in your BIOS [23:44] ilovefairuz>> i have acpi ?? [23:44] real_ate: what happens when you chainload to it ? [23:44] octavio-rdz: /etc/network/interfaces contains only "lo", the Network Manager doesn't show eth0, neither does Wireshark. I resized Ubuntu's partition, created one for my home folder and did various other things without testing Internet. [23:44] Mqueue: not acpi... EHCI Handoff [23:45] ilovefairuz: well i don't know how to get it to show up on my grub choice screen so i can't even attempt to load it [23:45] Guest52417: can you use: http://pastie.org to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf Thanks [23:45] real_ate, did you run sudo update-grub [23:46] !grub | real_ate [23:46] real_ate: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [23:46] can anyone help with setup of mythtv it's asking for capture cap, I don't want to use capture card I just want to watch live tv ? [23:46] ilovefairuz>> parallel port mode: ecp [23:46] Mqueue: that's not it [23:46] coz_: yes i ran update-grub , it doesn't detect it [23:46] Mqueue: what make and model is this laptop ? [23:46] ilovefairuz: i'm using grub2, sorry for not being clear [23:46] !grub2 | real_ate [23:46] Caer: and what about ifconfig command? does it show eth0 [23:46] real_ate: 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 [23:47] Hey, I was running fsck when power went out... now I get a grub rescure screen... is all my data gone? [23:47] ilovefairuz>> okay it's in configure SATA as: STANDARD IDE -AHCI - RAID [23:47] ilovefairuz>> I have standard IDE mode [23:47] pars: no, use a livecd to get your data off [23:47] octavio-rdz: I think it did not, I will reboot the computer to check again [23:47] pars: boot to livecd and fsck the partition, you may need to reinstall grub. Your data isnt gone as you can restore from your backups [23:47] real_ate, ok I am not completely confident with grub2 I f no one can help here go to the #grub channel I am s ure someone there can help out [23:47] ilovefairuz: i've already looked through that [23:48] ilovefairuz.............. CANT! says file system not reconized [23:48] coz_: thanks [23:48] unknown file system when running mount too [23:48] wizard_: live tv from where? [23:48] /sbin/fsck /dev/sda5 [23:48] fsck 1.41.1 (01-Sep-2008) [23:48] e2fsck 1.41.1 (01-Sep-2008) [23:48] fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks... [23:48] Superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode 8). [23:48] pars: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:48] also do a dmesg | grep eth to see it it does detect it in there [23:48] Caer: also do a dmesg | grep eth to see it it does detect it in there [23:49] how can i configure the mouse and keyboard? [23:49] i'm heading over to #grub , in case anyone here can help me here is my custom menu entry script that I added: http://pastebin.com/XXcTWXew [23:49] octavio-rdz: I also tried that I think [23:49] Dr_Willis, from mythtv when I launch it says not capture card installed I just want to watch live tv no capture [23:49] Mqueue: well it's EHCI not A [23:49] pars: you may need testdisk to markthe partition again, just restoring from backup is easier [23:49] Caer: you are in dual booting? meaing windows in linux in the same pc? [23:49] octavio-rdz: rebooting and connecting from elsewhere, see you in 1minute [23:49] wizard_: where is the live tv supposed to be comming from? where do you expect mythtv to get the tv video from? [23:49] octavio-rdz: yes [23:50] what themes are you guys using? [23:50] Caer: there is other thing [23:50] RealEyes: a mishmash of stuff [23:50] ActionParsnip: testdisk, that a command or a program (im on livecd) [23:50] ilovefairuz>> i don't have such thing in it then...it's old pc [23:50] wizard_: capture card = tv/cable input card [23:50] how do you mish mash it? lol [23:50] I'm looking at the Humanoid theme [23:50] Dr_Willis, never really thought of that lol, take it from the web or something lol [23:50] pars: its a command you can install [23:50] OSX === cyb3rsp4rk_ is now known as cyb3rsp4rk [23:50] should I just VMWare OSX? [23:50] RealEyes: its just a mix of lots of things, not really a theme to name [23:51] ActionParsnip: kind of in a pickle... dont have ubuntu live cd... only got this old pardus live cd from 2008 [23:51] Caer: I remember that once happened to me that windows turned off the eth0 card ... so linux could not detected it (a problem with linux driver I suppose) [23:51] RealEyes: you can install emerald and use an OSX window decorator [23:51] Mqueue: what's the bios vendor and version ? [23:51] Caer: I remember that I had to disable something in the window eth0 property but I can't remember what was it :s [23:51] pars: no idea there dude, if you can install testdisk its easier [23:51] if I want applications to run when after using startx, where do I list them? I do not have a desktop environment, so forget menus. [23:52] wizard_: you are confused as to what mythtv does then. You want somthing like xbmc, enna, boxee, or other media centers. MythTV is primarly a 'record videos and let you watch them DVR type system' browsing the web/streams and stuff is secondaruy. [23:52] wizard_: There MAY be ways to do it in mythtv. but thats not its main goal [23:52] wizard_: theres the #mythtv channel and #mythbuntu channels also. ive not used mythtv in about 2 years. so im not sure of its current features [23:52] kinks: put a symlink to the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, in ~/.config/autostart [23:52] Dr_Willis, cheers for the info as always I have XBMC will stick with that then lol [23:52] ilovefairuz>> americanmegatrends v2.53 [23:53] hi folks! Does anybody knows MySQL? [23:53] kinks: kde can run anything you put in ~/.kde/Autostart [23:53] xbmc with sickbeard is a good combination if you want to pull down internet feeds [23:53] wizard_: there were some neat alternatives to xbmc. enna, and boxee are nice. and moovidia has some cool features [23:53] paris: there's probably a mysql channel on freenode [23:53] wizard_: but it depends on yoru needs.. boxee may have some features you want [23:53] ilovefairuz>> amibiosv0809 builddate10.12.05 [23:53] paris: the people in #sql will [23:53] ActionParsnip: hmm any way to do it with testdisk? [23:53] ilovefairuz>> intel p4 3.0 ghz [23:53] ActionParsnip: cant load up pkg manager on this because its too old, no pkgs avilable [23:54] pars: you can write a new fat with testdisk, it may help. i'd grab a recent ubuntu cd [23:54] pars: why not just use your backups [23:54] Dr_Willis, that was one of the 1st I tried boxee then couldn't get the plugin's or album art the way I wanted, now using XBMC which for me is easy to use and config [23:54] ActionParsnip: so ~/.config/autostart isn't some gnome thing or anything of the sort? [23:54] ActionParsnip: tried to use a backup block but it said something about still having trouble reading it [23:55] kinks: its DE independant, works in any [23:55] ilovefairuz>> bingo got it to work..lol [23:55] Mqueue: great [23:55] ActionParsnip: I see, I'll give it a try.. thanks. [23:55] pars: no, data backup incase of problems etc [23:55] I'm looking for a good way to take screenshots. I used to have something in KDE that let me click a button and draw a box around the part of the screen I wanted to capture (it also had time-delay, etc...but that's less important) [23:55] ilovefairuz>> changed the boot sequence to make the linux boot first and it work..lol what is this crap [23:55] Anyone know what I should use? [23:56] ActionParsnip: I have no backup on my data, I dont care about the FS only for a certain folder, but nothing is working to fix this so I can mount it :/ [23:56] what is the name of vmware ubuntu version [23:56] ilovefairuz>> let me check windows now [23:56] Mqueue: well you learn something everyday [23:56] octavio-rdz: booted ok, where could I see eth0's properties [23:56] ilovefairuz>> gezz this thing never figured it out..always had a issue with grub thing with dual stuff [23:56] dmesg [23:56] aaroncampbell_: applications > accessories > take screenshot [23:56] sorry wrong window :-) [23:56] Do you know a free GUI for Databases so I can as well use MySQL on it? [23:57] what is the name of vmware ubuntu version [23:57] Caer: first did you trie dmesg | grep eth [23:57] paris: mysql-client or phpmyadmin [23:57] Mqueue: ditch windows [23:57] ilovefairuz>> okay now windows have a issue...error 21 selected disk does not exist [23:57] paris: sorry, mysql-admin, not mysql-client. [23:57] lol [23:57] pars: why do you not have a backup!! The drive motor could fail at any time, then no amount of software will save you. USB drives cost nothing compared to professional data retrieval services which do not guarantee data [23:57] ActionParsnip: running fsck on the partition asks me to clear it at the bottom, then it goes through and fixes nodes, but fails at "Error1: Corrupt extent header on inode 17" and "Warning... fsck.ext2 for device /dev/sda5 exited with signal 6." [23:57] ActionParsnip: well, it appears to do nothing whatsoever, which leads me to believe it does depend on the WM and is not a feature built into X - any other ideas? [23:58] paris: mysql-query-browser [23:58] Is anyone else having trouble with minitube? Whats the deal? [23:58] kinks: always worked on fluxbox, lxde, kde and gnome here. weird [23:58] I would normally use /etc/X11/Xession.d/foo but it appears that running mail notification from there causes it to not unlock the keyring or even ask to (the keyring being annoying as it is) [23:58] any one know the name of vmware ubuntu package [23:59] thus making me re-run it every time I start x [23:59] !vmware | bidaboy [23:59] bidaboy: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories.
