[00:00] should i upgrade from Windows ME to ubuntu? [00:00] A quick Nautilus question. I am on Ubuntu Lucid and I have a need to have the sizes displayed in 2 decimal precision instead of 1 (eg 5.36K vs 5.4K) . I can't find anything on Google that tells me how to change it. Does anyone know if it is possible? [00:00] What is the current ubuntu version? [00:00] I have a question. Can you run the netbook version alongside windows [00:00] yes ryan [00:00] Ryan08: easily, as far as I know [00:00] jimi_: lucid, 10.04 [00:01] jimi - Lucid 10.04 LTS [00:01] Ryan08: yes its called dual booting === Guest87490 is now known as 14WAAZWXP [00:01] ok thanks [00:02] EdLesMann: I had a project where I needed really accurate file sizes so I used wc through the command line [00:03] aeon-ltd: what dual booting fails? [00:03] aeon-ltd: is there a way to overlap it? [00:03] indigo747 - That is how I am doing it now, but it would be really _really_ nice to have it shown in nautilis if possible [00:03] I just couldn't ind an option [00:03] EdLesMann: not likely [00:04] Jordan_U, here is my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/469073/ [00:05] michaelxq: what do you mean?, you mean overwrite?, cos dual booting is running in parrallel [00:06] EdLesMann: in Thunar, if you right click and select properties you can see how man bytes it is, nicely comma'd [00:06] how to create a DNS? [00:06] bidaboy: do you mean a DNS server? [00:06] Flomaster: Ok, that looks correct. Is your user in the admin group? (look in or pastebin /etc/group) [00:06] aeon-ltd: with dual booting you mean choosing between the two which one to start or working both together? [00:06] bidaboy: you mean run your own dns server? See 'bind' and the books written on its ussage. :) [00:06] bidaboy: you don't but you can run your oen [00:06] how do i found out what filesystem i'm using? [00:06] *own [00:06] just the domaine nme [00:07] name [00:07] how can I change the time it takes for my laptop to suspend? I have put inactivity for suspend in power manager to never, but it still suspends after half an hour or so. [00:07] AndyGraybeal: in what situatuion? 'sudo fdisk -l' shows filesystems and what they are. [00:07] AndyGraybeal: "mount" [00:07] michaelxq: dualbooting, when your machine powers up you are given a menu to choose between your OSes [00:07] ok [00:07] Dr_Willis: okay thank you; i'll try it [00:07] bidaboy: a domain name needs to be bought from a registrar [00:08] Dr_Willis: Actually fdisk doesn't show filesystem information, only partition table info (which includes some limited information about partition type that somewhat correlates to filesystem type most of the time). [00:08] Jordan_U: thank you! [00:08] indigo747 - nautilis will show byte size but I just need two decimal place and at first I was doing it manually, but now I wrote a script to do it using wc. again, it would just be nice to have it in the file manager. are there other file managers that might do it? [00:08] AndyGraybeal: You're welcome. [00:08] ilovefairuz,i heared that bind can do it, no? [00:08] bidaboy: no [00:08] EdLesMann: I don't know, but if MidnightCommander might do it [00:08] bidaboy: you're trying to get your own domain name right, but you don't know how it all works? [00:09] OK, well thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it. I will go bug the nautilis directly. :-) [00:09] randy_, yes [00:09] aeon-ltd: if you installed windows at an external drive and ubuntu at your primary disk you can't boot your pc without your external drive..that's my problem...do you know any command to overlap that menu and start ubuntu? [00:09] soreau thnx solved the problem [00:10] orsh: I figured it would ;) [00:10] see u man and thnx a lot again [00:10] bidaboy: ok, here's the deal: you go to godaddy.com (or whatever is cheapest) and you find the name you want. if its taken, you can auction for it if its available, otherwise, your out of luck [00:10] aeon-ltd: is there any command to start ubuntu, like 'start ubuntu'? [00:10] bidaboy: once you've got a name, you can assign a DNS server to your domain name through your registrar [00:10] soreau have a nice day,i must to go now [00:10] bidaboy: most registrars provide their own DNS services, though, and they are usually free [00:10] !ot | randy_ [00:10] randy_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:11] michaelxq: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the output? [00:11] ilovefairuz: fine. i was getting to the point, but ok. [00:11] michaelxq: no, but i assume GRUB is on your external disk which is odd. you should have installed GRUB on your primary with ubuntu, then have windows on the external without the grub bootloader, or have both oses on one disk [00:11] michaelxq: Actually, I don't think I need that info. === asig2 is now known as asig [00:11] Jordan_U, here is paste bin of etc/group http://paste.ubuntu.com/469075/ [00:11] randy_, i create a server using my own ip adresse, and now i want to change it to a word, bind cant do that? [00:12] michaelxq: Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", it will ask you some questions, one of which is where grub should be installed. [00:12] Flash plug in works fine in Chromium, but not in Firefox. Any tips on how to resolve or where best to submit a bug report? [00:12] bidaboy: forgive me, but speaking any further on this topic will irritate ilovefairuz and i'm not interested in that. good luck! [00:13] bidaboy: Time to research how DNS works. [00:13] bidaboy: At a minimum you'll need to spend a few bucks for your domain name, and set up an A record pointing host.domain.com to your IP. [00:13] michaelxq: Select only your external drive (and *no* partitions), for the other questions leave then at their default (some will be blank, that's normal). [00:13] shawncm217: what's the issue in firefox ? [00:13] Jordan_U: can i pm you? [00:14] michaelxq: I prefer to keep the conversation in channel, but yes. [00:14] ilovefairuz, here is paste bin of etc/group http://paste.ubuntu.com/469075/ [00:15] KB1JWQ, im sure that possible, any way, i will search again [00:15] bidaboy: you may also want to check out free services like dyndns.org [00:15] bidaboy: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772774%28WS.10%29.aspx [00:15] I don't have to add myself to the sudoers file if I am in wheel and have %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL in that file, right? [00:15] Flomaster: why are you pasting this? [00:15] ak5: right... [00:15] ilovefairuz: One example, the player controls on the YouTube video player do not work. [00:15] jrib: ok, it doesn't work though [00:16] trying to fix my users sudo privileges [00:16] ak5: then ask that, sheesh [00:16] ok [00:16] jrib: does the user have to log out for group changes to take effect? [00:16] ak5: yes [00:16] ok, thats it then [00:16] shawncm217, are you using 64 bit Ubuntu? [00:16] jrib: THANKS [00:16] oops [00:16] ak5: you can check with the « groups » command [00:16] Hi [00:16] ZykoticK9: Yes. [00:16] Flomaster: what's your problem ? [00:17] Flomaster: For some reason you don't have any users in the admin group. Add your username after the last ':' on the line beginning with admin (see other entries in the file for reference) [00:17] jrib: well, it shows my user to be wheel [00:17] ak5: but you know that in ubuntu sudoers is setup with the "admin" group, right? [00:17] shawncm217: 64bit? [00:17] shawncm217, you might want to see if this appies/works for ya. good luck http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working [00:17] In first time sorry for my bad english, in the second place I have a problem with my wireless interface "eth3: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device", I received this message when I was reboot forced, some help? [00:17] ilovefairuz: Yes. [00:17] at ubuntu-es nobody can helps me [00:18] shawncm217: check the link by ZykoticK9 [00:18] Jordan_U, I will do that and reboot into desktop [00:18] eduardiyo: ask your question here but all in english [00:18] ilovefairuz: he already did [00:19] eduardiyo: When or where do you get this message? [00:19] I a t il quelqu'un qui parle français ici ? [00:19] ilovefairuz, the system ignore my interfaces, eth0 and eth3 (my wireless device) [00:19] !fr | Outana [00:19] Outana: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [00:19] >.< [00:19] soreau: eduardiyo: sorry didn't see it [00:19] soreau, when I try to modify /etc/network/interfaces file [00:19] Jordan_U, my line now looks like this [admin:x:119:xbmc] [00:19] i installed Ubuntu at my primary disk and mint at my external and GRUB is shown only if i boot with my external because GRUB is installed at my external. what can i do? [00:20] ilovefairuz: I will do that. However, the link says it will work for Firefox & Chrome/Chromium. Everything seems fine in Chromium. That still leaves me with the question of where best to submit a bug; Ubuntu, Mozilla or Adobe? [00:20] eduardiyo: Does ifconfig and iwconfig show your interfaces? [00:20] michaelxq: boot the livecd and install grub on internal disk [00:20] soreau, wait [00:20] michaelxq: install grub on your primary :) [00:21] michaelxq: pastebin, fdisk -l [00:21] michaelxq: i can't guarantee perfect automagic-ness though [00:21] soreau: yes. ifconfig shows you all the interfaces on your system. iwconfig will show you the same interfaces + the additional information regarding wireless [00:21] shawncm217: ubuntu [00:21] ilovefairuz, you need to use "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything. michaelxq [00:21] soreau, wait, I need to post the query to show you [00:21] ilovefairuz: Okay. Thank you. [00:22] Flomaster: That's correct (minus the []). [00:22] randy_: I'm helping eduardiyo .. [00:22] soreau: oh oooooh, haha, i get it now ;) [00:22] ok Jordan_U rebooting now *crosses fingers* I didn't actually have [] in my file [00:23] soreau, http://pastebin.com/fUisgNsE but after was be eth3, why now eth1 and how can I resolve the problem please? [00:23] ZykoticK9: No luck with the instructions in the link you sent. [00:24] eduardiyo, eth3 would "typically" mean the fourth ethernet card in your system. Do you really have multiple ethernet adapters? [00:24] shawncm217, sorry, no other suggestions. Good luck. [00:24] eduardiyo: I don't know but you probably need to find whatever file is telling it to look for eth3 and change it to the correct value. Perhaps try 'grep -Rn eth3 /etc' [00:24] ZykoticK9, no, but Ubuntu detect the broadcom bcm4311 like eth3 [00:24] ok soreau wait and thanks [00:25] eduardiyo, interesting, hopefully that eth3 will work with wireless! [00:25] ZykoticK9: Thanks for the suggestion. [00:25] hello === an is now known as Guest98914 [00:25] not now ZykoticK9 , now its on eth1 but I can't make it run [00:26] !hi | mas [00:26] mas: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [00:26] soreau, I only have the lines modify at interfaces file, how can I do configure it to get wireless on at startup ? [00:26] hello, how can i install cover gloobus from ppa or deb?? [00:26] i have ubuntu karmic [00:26] hey guys, does anyone know how to install real player on ubuntu 10.04 and incorporate it into a browser, firefox for be more precise ? [00:26] eduardiyo: What do you mean 'get wireless on at startup'? You mean connect to the access point automatically? [00:26] soreau, yeah, sorry for my english === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [00:27] ilovefairuz: No luck with the instructions in the link ZykoticK9 sent. Is my only option to submit a bug? [00:27] shawncm217, the non-working click in flash on 64bit is already WELL reported. [00:28] soreau, I modify the file as http://pastebin.com/JuPBZeqg do you think that will run? [00:28] hi all is ffmpeg a good audio and video converter [00:28] shawncm217: i suspect the issue is because of the plugin wrapper (since there are no 64 bit versions of flash any longer) you may try installing the 32bit iso! [00:28] eduardiyo: No problem but the only way I knwo to get it to connect at boot time is to stop nm-applet and NetworkManager from starting, then write your own script to connect and put it in /etc/rc.local [00:28] its-me-again: you asked before and yes it is [00:28] Jordan_U, thank you very much it worked I was able to sudo apt-get update and my password worked like a charm. I have no idea how my user got removed from the admin group [00:28] shawncm217, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407 [00:28] flomaster: You're welcome. [00:29] I am getting very slow data transfer speeds on my ubuntu box. going from sdd1 to sda1 im transfering at about 200kbps. would that have anything to do with the OS its self? (sdd1 is 72000rpm sda1 is 59000rpm) [00:29] mas: i don't know what cover gloobus is, but, for all installations of that sort, there needs to be an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list ; if you found the site for that on launchpad.net, there should be a section indicating what to put in that file [00:29] soreau, and what can I do to make the new interface (older eth3) on? [00:30] ilovefairuz: is there a graphical frontend for ffmpeg [00:30] ZykoticK9, ilovefairuz: I guess my hang up is that it works under Chromium, but not Firefox. [00:30] eduardiyo: I don't know [00:30] mas: once the line is added to sources.list, you simply need to add the key (also noted on launchpad.net if its a ppa), and install it from Synaptic (etc...) [00:30] soreau, well, wish me luck [00:30] Hi! I have an annoying issue, apparently the keyboard of my laptop is broken and one key gets stuck (not physically, i already removed the key, its an electrical problem, maybe some short circuit). Is there a way to disable the key on a software basis? meaning telling ubuntu to completely ignore the key? i know its a dirty fix but i would help a lot! [00:30] I recently installed lucid. In my old install (several releases back), if my mouse pointer froze (as it has now), I could hit alt-f1 to bring up the gnome panel Applications menu, then key over to the logut/shutdown/suspend menu. Now it appears that doesn't work. Is there a hotkey to bring up the logout/suspend menu? [00:30] UberN00b, sudo apt-get install realplayer [00:30] shawncm217: they have different code bases [00:30] thanks randy, cover gloobus is a mac style browser (3d coverflow) in nautilus [00:30] ! [00:31] its-me-again, winff if a frontend to ffmpeg. FYI ffmpeg can't do MP4 right now (due to AAC audio issue)! [00:31] If michaelxq comes back could someone tell him that he needs to run "sudo apt-get install mbr" then "sudo install-mbr /dev/sda" to get windows booting from his internal hard drive? [00:31] and he's gone lol [00:31] zykes-: so it cant convert aac files [00:32] how do i disable -nolisten for X? [00:32] its-me-again: fyi, Handbrake is a fantastic video conversion tool that works from a frontend [00:33] its-me-again, the AAC is due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/faac/+bug/374900 Handbrake is an excellent encoder for MP4/MKV files (it won't do AVI anymore) [00:34] Ranakah: so ffmpeg dont do video [00:34] its-me-again, ffmpeg does lost of video! just not currently capable of exporting to MP4 [00:34] man y are all the good apps loosing options its annoying [00:34] oh [00:35] Hey all, having issues with Ubuntu and VirtualBox. Getting BIOS 0xaddr errors... any idea? [00:35] ZykoticK9: Thanks for the link to the bug. [00:35] Is there a key combinatoin to make lucid suspend? Or perhaps a shell command? === l_ is now known as konq90 [00:35] MisterK85, BIOS 0xaddr errors are probably talking about the ram. [00:35] sorry by my bad english but,please someone can helps me to install the realtime kernel, its for fast reaction in usb midi devices [00:35] shawncm217, glad to help ;) [00:36] MisterK85, Surprised you know what a hexidecimal number is an address but not that it's an address in ram. [00:37] edbian: Only starting getting the errors since I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions, if I ignore it it throws X out of whack and into low graphics mode. [00:37] A question, I have a Lexmark X5495 attached as a network printer going through another computer, I am able to recognize it, but can't seem to find a driver for it. Any help would be appreciated. [00:37] MisterK85, It throws X in the virtual machine or the host? (Which are what OS btw) ? [00:38] MisterK85, did you install the Guest Additions before or after the kernel update (in 10.04) the other day? Did you install dkms prior to installing GA? [00:38] how do i disable -nolisten for X? [00:38] Hi. I'm having a bizarre problem -- I can't connect to my ubuntu server remotely though the ufw says it's deisbled. Can anyone help? [00:38] Throws X in VM. Running Win7 as the host. [00:38] disabled, that is [00:38] how can I improve the performance of X-window when using ssh -Y? [00:38] how can I start a daemon on startup? I want sshd to start automatically. [00:39] ilovefairuz: no activity there. assuming it is not the kernel, any idea what to check ? [00:39] ilovefairuz: some user/group thing or so? [00:39] fengshaun_, It does by default. [00:39] fengshaun_, ps -e | grep ssh [00:39] can i password protect a tar.gz file? [00:39] edbian, ouch, so installing sshd makes it startup by default? [00:40] edbian, thanks! [00:40] fengshaun_, sudo apt-get install openssh-server should install sshd which starts by default yes. [00:40] fengshaun_, No problem! :) [00:40] randomguy: try #kernelnewbies [00:40] edbian: The error I get when I try to boot is: piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr [00:41] MisterK85, When you boot the virtual machine or the host machine? What OS is each? [00:41] edbian: I am using the latest stable release of Ubuntu in Virtual Box. The host OS is Windows 7 32-bit. [00:42] MisterK85: I get the same error in Ubuntu on VirtualBox [00:42] MisterK85: seems harmless [00:42] konq90, i don't think there is a lot you can do to improve the speed of X over SSH. If you are doing a lot of remote GUI stuff you might want to try NX remote desktop stuff (i'm only tried it a tiny bit, but it's known for it's speed) Good luck. [00:42] chrissharp123: I can't get into a GUI, throws X into low graphics mode. [00:43] MisterK85: I don't think that error is related to the issue you're having because I'm able to run fine [00:43] MisterK85: might be a red herring [00:43] what do i need to install to be able to use 7zip? [00:44] chrissharp123: a red herring? [00:44] Hilikus: p7zip [00:44] !info p7zip | Hilikus [00:44] Hilikus: p7zip (source: p7zip): 7zr file archiver with high compression ratio.

[00:45] MisterK85: sorry - that's an expression that means you might be focusing on something unrelated to the problem at hand :-) [00:45] MisterK85, it is the 32bit version of Ubuntu that you're trying to install right? === kozzy is now known as Kozzy_ [00:46] I can't get into an actual GUI, just low graphics mode. Can't edit the config, only go to bash. [00:46] And yes, 32-bit version is installed. [00:46] (even though my CPU is 64-bit) [00:46] MisterK85, ya but you'd need a 64bit host OS WITH virtualization support in CPU. [00:47] I know. I rather 32-bit lol. [00:47] MisterK85, actually i think a 32bit CPU with virt support can do 64bit guests in Vbox now. [00:47] my mouse lags while playing games -- ubuntu lucid nvidia geforce. help anyone? === Mac_Man is now known as LinuxMint [00:48] nerdy_kid, does turning compiz off prior to starting the game make any difference? [00:49] ZykoticK9 using kwin - no. it is just the mouse, the gfx themselves arnt laggy. furthermore it happens at intervals of about 10-20 seconds. [00:49] nerdy_kid, i only ask because compiz has some very strange effects on the mouse in 10.04. mouse pointers in particular (not really laggy issues though) === LinuxMint is now known as trainman536 [00:50] ZykoticK9 yeah not compiz...im messing with my xorg conf currently -- managed to disable my synaptic (mouse) drivers but still no change..... [00:50] nerdy_kid, ? sorry no other suggestion. What's "kwin"? What game(s)? [00:50] ZykoticK9: kwin is a window manager like compiz or metacity [00:51] where's the gdm config file? [00:51] nerdy_kid: Does it make a difference if you use a different window manager other than kwin? [00:51] ZykoticK9 kwin == kde window manager. basicly any game that uses the mouse lol [00:51] squarebracket, what are you trying to do? [00:51] soreau i actually killed the window manager all together and ran some games with no change [00:51] with upstart/mountall broken due to incorrect design and no hope in site, I had to replace the entire boot sequence with something else [00:51] ZykoticK9, disable -nolisten on X [00:51] With google chrome I'm getting "missing plugin" error for pdfs. How do I fix this? [00:51] I am useing ubuntu as a host and xp as a guest, does anyone know how to get xp to be reconized as the os in vmware, whenever i use windows update it says os not supported [00:52] ZykoticK9, error with friend's tablet, need access to his X [00:52] now I'm finding crazy packaging errors due to dpkg not owning the kernel or drivers or boot sequence [00:52] nerdy_kid: Have you tried gnome? [00:52] squarebracket, if you're trying to do remote Xorg login, my advice would be to stop. It's been disabled through the whole system for a few versions of Ubuntu now. Good luck man. [00:52] Any fix for a lexmark x5400 series printer, can't get mine to do anthing except spit paper. [00:52] soreau dont see what that has to do with it.....(yes i have; i switched to kde though 'cause i like it better ;) ) [00:53] ZykoticK9: talk about a bad idea [00:53] squarebracket, use ssh +x and just open apps as needed :| [00:53] nerdy_kid: Then it might be a bug in the mouse driver [00:53] i was wondering are the bugs worked out in 10.04? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [00:53] soreau ok, not the nvidia driver you dont think?

[00:54] tigerx1078, no [00:54] its-me-again, lame [00:54] ZykoticK9: oy its not [00:54] overwrite or ignore or filename.1? [00:54] sorry i was searching on filesharing and seen that it has bugs for that [00:54] nerdy_kid: anything is possible. You could test if it's the nvidia driver or not by changing nvidia to Driver "vesa" in the Device section of xorg.conf [00:54] tigerx1078, 9.10 [00:54] its-me-again, lame is the name of an mp3 encoder [00:54] exit [00:54] i want to convert to mp3 and i cant ok i need to nstll the ability to do so [00:54] ok can i still get 9.10 [00:55] zykes-: oh how do i install that [00:55] tigerx1078, yes [00:55] soreau not really cause then i wouldnt be able to run the games.....

[01:20] Mr_Sonoma, understood , I suppose he has tivo desktop on windows [01:20] Mr_Sonoma: I can't say I'm expert at it, but I've been mucking with tivo stuff. [01:20] BluesKaj: Yeah, that's what we ended up using. [01:21] BluesKaj, Mr_Sonoma: I had coded up a script to fetch and reencode tivo files, but the big problem was the fetching... large files, and for some reason very, very slow... [01:21] pytivo works well on linux as well, puff...better actually , it gives more options for tivo file storage on one's pc [01:22] BluesKaj, Mr_Sonoma: We theorize that you're not actually getting the raw file, but rather that the tivo is doing some on-the-fly reencoding, on a fairly lame CPU... [01:22] BluesKaj: Good to know, but as I said, the problem was I'd use curl to fetch the file, it would run for a couple of hours and then time out. [01:23] i used curl isn't a [01:23] has anyone else been having problems with mysqld not starting at boot? ever since i did an update on (i think) thursday, mysqld is no longer started when i turn on my server. [01:24] puff , curl isn't an app I'm familiar with, pytivo does all that [01:24] ive ran 'update-rc.d mysql defaults' but that didnt fix anything. [01:24] nwidger: What does typing: "runlevel" show?

Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [01:26] ilovefairuz: and i havent seen any weird error messages in /var/log/daemon.log or /var/log/mysql/error.log [01:26] ZykoticK9: I know that. [01:26] BBL [01:27] jpds: any clue what might be wrong? [01:27] nwidger, do you see mysql listed when you run "service --status-all" [01:27] nwidger: No, I was wondering if it was related to bug #554172.

[01:28] ZykoticK9: it says ' [ ? ] mysql' [01:28] nwidger, i'm not sure what that means... [01:29] ZykoticK9: sweet [01:29] hello guys.. can anyone help me..?

[01:30] is anyone familiar with UBUNTU 4.10 (WARTY WARTHOG)? [01:30] nwidger: try the tool i mentioned [01:30] Cobra36093, Kidding right? [01:30] ilovefairuz: ok [01:30] edbian, I just install wubi ubuntu.. and after I instaled compiz, my grapics is running slow.. [01:30] no.... [01:30] jerald, have you downloaded the drivers from hardware drivers?? [01:30] wish i was [01:31] Hello, I am running 10.04 on a Toshiba Satellite A215 with a PA3613U-1MPC wireless card, and can't get wireless to work. Any ideas? [01:31] nwidger, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475460&page=2 for details :) good luck. [01:31] Cobra36093: what's your issue? [01:31] Cobra36093, used it at the time, but couldn't really advocate supporting it anymore. that's not just old, it's /old/ [01:31] Cobra36093, Yeah, I've heard of it. Why? [01:31] trojan_spike, yeah.. it all works well at first but after I installed this compiz setting manager it slows down [01:31] jerald>> compiz is pretty heavy on the video hardware depending on what you set up, can you tell us your specs? [01:31] ilovefairuz: ok, with that tool mysql is checked on for runlevels 2, 3, 4 and 5 [01:32] came across a laptop that really only runs it [01:32] someones help me please, i have a synaptics touchpad in my laptop and in windows 7 i can make gestures like rotating images, zoom, with two fingers, but in ubuntu 9.10 i cant make these, 3 days ago i type a comand in the terminal for view the touchpad information and in the fingers tab show only one finger detected when i have two or three, please help me. I saw last week that synaptics make the linux gesture suit but i cant find the download link in the synaptic [01:32] s page. Sorry by my bad english [01:32] jerald, You need to try different drivers. Be aware that many people when asked a question about wubi see the answer as "install linux for real" because wubi is sometimes a very convoluted nightmare. [01:32] wiesshund, my desktop has much higher specs than my mobile.. but my laptop runs very well [01:32] BluesKaj: curl is just a generic network client for doing scripted network actions, like ftp, http, etc. [01:32] How is the process of getting IE8 running in WINE? I had 6 going before I got my new laptop, but I haven't tried it since about March [01:33] ZykoticK9: that is the opposite of what i want :P [01:33] nwidger: check the boot logs [01:33] My wife needs it for work [01:33] must be laging somewhere,, have u used compiz before with ur current graphics card? [01:33] jerald>> ok check what edbian said then [01:33] edbian, yeah , because I don't have any problem with my laptop having ubuntu full installed.. [01:33] ilovefairuz: i have, and havent seen anything noteworthy. there's a statement from apparmor where it loads the mysql profile but that's about it === carlos is now known as Guest73417 [01:33] nwidger, true but just reverse the couple of steps. the details should all be there. [01:33] how can I check my hardwares? because I checked for drivers.. but there are no issues. [01:33] guys which port do i connect to neatx server?

[01:35] jerald, Did you turn compiz off or just uninstall it? There is a very big difference:) [01:35] I removed the compiz.. uninstall it.. [01:36] edbian, uninstall [01:36] has anyone setup neatx? [01:36] hey i try running entertainer and am getting this error ImportError: cannot import name cluttergtk [01:36] nwidger, VERY strange indeed. remember what was updated! [01:36] jerald, System -> Preferences -> appearances -> desktop effects tab. What is it set to? [01:36] ZykoticK9: do i remember? not particularly, this happened last thursday [01:37] jerald, uninstalling software does not stop the current instance from running. It essentially makes it so that the system can never start that process again until that software is re-installed.

[01:37] its name [01:37] Oh cmon [01:37] jk [01:37] EliteXRay, it depends on the user [01:37] less resource intensive [01:37] i can not honestley say i was just beign a fan boy sorry [01:37] EliteXRay, that's a very subjective question...what do you look for in a distro? what do you need it for? [01:38] I read on a forum that lots of engineers are on ubuntu [01:38] debes, it's ok now.. [01:38] hey i try running entertainer and am getting this error ImportError: cannot import name cluttergtk [01:38] more user friendly, lots more reference material online , lots more support [01:38] EliteXRay, Is an blue better than red? [01:38] alot of works is being done on ubuntu ,, but fedora is still a good o.s [01:38] debes, it works back to it's original state.. hmmm wubi issues... tsk tsk.. [01:38] EliteXRay, It's only better if you like it more. [01:38] join #default [01:38] EliteXRay: try for your each [01:38] nwidger, i'm really not too good with mysql and services under upstart right now :( and my google-fu is fail so far :( [01:38] whenever i am trying to remove any of them i am getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/469097/ [01:38] woops [01:39] Ubuntu is better than redhat because ubuntu has cooler version names :) [01:39] I just figure that there would be distinctive difference between the two linuxes [01:39] alguien sabe como instalar el centro de software de lucid en karmic (ya que muestra los ppa) [01:39] puff, BluesKaj sorry got called away by family. my question was what utilities i would need to mount a hard drive out of a tivo in a hard drive enclosure and recover the data into a playable format [01:39] what I need are answers to how to get the 'pop ups' I use in mIRC over to Xchat [01:39] wiesshund, "ubuntu is better..." is an off-topic channel discussion [01:40] how can I store short one line messages , like my description file as a pop up using XChat ? [01:40] EliteXRay: package management and system configuration tools [01:40] ilovefaruz: http://pastebin.com/YX1z30S0 [01:40] EliteXRay, fedora is more "pure" because red hat does not develop for it alone. Ubuntu does develop for only themselves. The notifications are a good example of this. [01:40] BluesKaj, he wasnt able to see the drive in windows and thats the reason he is bringing it to me. the drive can be "seen" but isn't readable through windows [01:40] ZykoticK9: sadly that post hasnt been much help. ive already looked at /etc/init/mysql.conf, /etc/init.d/mysql and the files in /etc/rcN.d/ and everything looks fine. i looked at the config files in /etc/mysql and they also look ok. i tried changing the bind address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to '0.0.0.0' as some other people said that has fixed their problems with mysqld not starting up but sadly that didnt nothing, too. [01:40] Pure insinuates a good quality of fedora? [01:40] jenny-48>> Xchat uses perl. youd need to rewrite the scripts [01:41] nwidger, you're currently using both the old and new methods of starting services! [01:41] ZykoticK9: the fact that i see no error messages in any of the log files is also really frustrating [01:41] EliteXRay, The developments that red hat make are contributed to kernel mostly which is used jointly by every distro. Although fedora does have a custom little differences. I don't know about them as much because I don't use fedora. [01:41] aldoug: pastebin: lspci [01:41] EliteXRay, They're of equal quality in my opinion. [01:41] I just want to understand why engineers chooses ubunutu over fedora heh [01:42] nwidger, i'd concentrate on the /etc/init/ file for sure (that "should" be upstarts config) [01:42] excuses my typos [01:42] ZykoticK9: i dont know which files are actually being used by upstart. the /etc/rcN.d/mysql files are just symlinks to /etc/init.d/mysql, which is just a wrapped to 'service start msql' it looks like [01:42] EliteXRay, only advice I can really offer is to give both a try and see which works better for you :) [01:42] I'm currently on fedora. Works pretty nice imo [01:42] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/xdYtbQ39 [01:42] EliteXRay, Do you mean engineers as in people with engineering degrees? Where did you get this statistic? I'd like to research it as well? [01:42] EliteXRay: you'd have to be more specific about what you're trying to compare and join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:42] I came across this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-644448.html [01:42] ZykoticK9: *just a wrapped [01:42] *wrapper [01:43] hi everybody! i'm french and a ubuntu user :) [01:43] oops, I have to go right now - i'll probably be back later tonight; not sure.

[01:51] yeah.. theme for my log in [01:52] mas: the gesture suit is not released yet [01:52] ilovefairuz, yeah login theme [01:52] puff, thanks. if i can simply mount the drive and use ffmpeg to re-encode then that'll work. I've saved the link to pytivo just incase. this is a one time thing so even if i have to use CLI utilities to get this done that's ok. [01:52] nwidger, does "sudo service mysql start" work properly? [01:52] puff, the object is solely to recover the saved data [01:52] jerald: not possibly in gdm 2, i think only the background can be changed [01:52] thanks, do you know when?? [01:52] ZykoticK9: yes it does [01:52] mas: no i don't [01:52] See u, everrybody, I'm gonna to the #ubuntu-fre chan's :) [01:53] ZykoticK9: im assuming when the pre-start script in /etc/init/mysql.conf is executed, it's executed as root? [01:53] nwidger, lol. i got nothing man. hopefully someone else has a suggestion! [01:53] Mr_Sonoma: well, like I said, this is assuming that the files on the drive are in the same .tivo format that you get when you download them with tivo to go or tivo desktop. [01:53] i can't get to any websites [01:53] ilovefairuz, yeah.. because when I used ubuntu 9.04, I can easily change the them.. [01:54] Mr_Sonoma,is the drive from his tivo or his pc? [01:54] ridin: open a terminal and type: dig google.com [01:54] ok thanks [01:54] puff, i understand. thanks hopefully that's the situation. [01:54] ilovefairuz, is there any tweak or something? [01:54] BluesKaj, from the tivo [01:54] ilovefairuz, it's working now, but thanks anyway [01:54] jerald: not in newer version [01:54] nwidger, i really miss System / Administration / Services right now ;) [01:54] heh [01:54] !who | mas [01:54] mas: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:56] is it possible to burn 2 ISOs to a single disk? [01:56] they fit, but i don't know if the hierarchy will get screwed [01:56] how do i rebuild python-clutter [01:56] Hilikus, not if you want them both to work ;) [01:57] Does anyone else using Empathy experience a huge lag and sometimes a non-responsive period when opening an IRC channel/account? [01:57] BluesKaj, PM? [01:57] Hilikus, that would require some sort of 3rd party boot mechanism to select which to boot [01:58] Mr_Sonoma, I suggest you ask for more advice on #tivo, it's actually the best pave , because tivo discussion is cpnsidered offtopic here. [01:58] I just installed the server edition, but i cant seen to get a picture on my screen, anyone knows what causes the problem? [01:58] BluesKaj, that channel's been dead for hours. first place i went === Filipp-bnc is now known as Filipp [01:58] Filipp, server is text only by default [01:59] wow there are a lot of ppl in here [01:59] how do i access it? [01:59] ilovefairuz, I hope the next release they will put it back where it belong.. hmmm there are too many packages that I love on ubuntu 9.04 [01:59] Mr_Sonoma, is the tivo connected to your network? [01:59] flipp: install the desktop version [01:59] SGA|DiabetikCrys, yes there are, do you has an Ubuntu support question? or want to help? If not use #ubuntu-offtopic for just general chit-chat ;) [02:00] BluesKaj, thats honestly the only reason i asked here. figured it was semi-ontopic since my question was the possibility of being able to mount the FS. I understand that the tivo FS is a modified ext2 [02:00] BluesKaj, wish it was but its not. [02:00] thanks ZykoticK9 [02:00] yes afaik [02:00] k, but shouldnt i get some picture on my screen, it just stands there blinking the on button [02:01] Filipp, that sounds like plymouth might be failing! [02:01] Mr_Sonoma,that's why pytivo works so well [02:01] flipp: you'll get a picture if you install the desktop version, not server [02:01] hello [02:01] !hi | pickle_ [02:01] pickle_: Hi!

[02:02] Filipp, to be clear - if you want a GUI interface install desktop then simply install services on it! (much easier usually) [02:02] pickle_: alt+ f2, the type: gnome-volume-applet and press enter [02:02] BluesKaj, ok thanks, when he gets the drive to me i'll check it out. might have to ask a few more questions once i see what i've got. like i said right now i'm asking questions to prepare for what i'm getting myself into since its a tech i've not played with before. [02:03] pickett_, to use the default. right click / add to panel / indicator applet [02:03] ZykoticK9 but since i have installed it, i figured i could give it a try [02:03] owe thank you!

[02:03] i can not use youtube and amarok at the same time [02:03] hello evey body there [02:03] hello, is there a open source C++ interpreter? [02:04] Mr_Sonoma,to be clear, it's best he sends you the whole tivo , not just the hdd [02:04] hi bro [02:04] single and easy question about iptables [02:04] when i listen to amarok i have to close amarok and restart firefox to watch youtube any solution [02:05] DareDevil01, are you using KDE? [02:05] any one know how to get a USB Keyboard to work? [02:05] so you can network it and test the the pytivo app and use it to transfer fikes from now playing if [02:05] 1 more question, is there a way to change my theme to have minimize and close in the upper right side of the window. thanks [02:05] so you can network it and test the the pytivo app and use it to transfer files [02:05] HOW TO TURN OFF IPTABLES WITH SINGLE COMMAND PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST FIRESTARTER [02:05] konq901: g++ [02:05] !controls | pickle_ [02:05] pickle_: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[02:21] have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras? [02:21] j800r, I am still installing lspci -v | less [02:22] it may not be an audio issue if you haven't installed the restricted extras, it may be a codec problem [02:23] one of the first things to do after installing ubuntu is to install the restricted extras. it doesn't come with support for proprietary formats out of the box [02:23] j800r, what is that installed the restricted extras? [02:23] j800r, How will I install this restricted extras? [02:23] open a terminal, type in "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [02:24] j800r, okay after I finish install lspci -v | less [02:27] j800r, what is this restricted extras? what are they and what do they do? are these codecs?

[02:28] I upgraded to Ubuntu Lucid and now when logging in, I find it takes at least 50 sec just to authenticate me to user and also a long time to authenticate me as root. Why is this? [02:29] basically, with a fresh install with windows, things like mp3, avi formats and other stuffs are supported by default, with ubuntu, you have to install the restricted extras to get mp3, flash, java support etc [02:29] fn-Fkey virtual terminal is a blank screen , ive tried searching very hard but can't find out how to remedy this. [02:29] Saturn2888, have you installed all updates? [02:29] now the restricted extras are one of the first thing to install after installing ubuntu lucid.. is that it? [02:30] All I can find is people with the same problem [02:30] jerald, yes. after any ubuntu install, not just lucid [02:30] jerald, if you need it [02:30] test34, don't confuse the guy [02:30] if he's come from windows, he DOES need it [02:31] jerald do you have Nvidia or ATI graphics driver ? [02:31] j800r, is restricted extras includes when you update? [02:31] no. you install it manually [02:31] how i said to [02:31] If so then you might need to do some reading on installing the driver. I can give you some good links if you need. [02:31] okay [02:31] anyone know the command line to open the Gstreamer GUI [02:32] aloon, how would graphics drivers affect his sound? :\ [02:32] I meant if he just installed lucid [02:32] I am having some pulse audio / alsa audio problems [02:32] flomaster: there's no "gstreamer" GUI. what are you trying to do ? [02:32] j800r, I have to install this to my laptop to.. [02:32] my video card is my soundcard ... as an example [02:32] flomaster: gnome-volume-applet ? [02:33] aloon, i do wonder actually. my soundcard is soundmax hd, yet alsa reads it as nvidia [02:33] which is the same as my graphics card and chipset [02:34] j800r: yes [02:35] hello [02:35] is there anyone else having problems with ubuntu.com? [02:35] How can I probe the memory size in Linux, discarding BIOS information? [02:35] any clue about my problem of blank screen when I switch to virtual terminal ? [02:35] Temperatures missing in Conky Ubuntu Lucid Theme. Screenshot at http://imagebin.org/106774 conkyrc at http://pastebin.com/JFHnjKnw I assume the problem lies in "CPU: ${goto 868}${execi 4 sensors | grep -A 0 'temp2' | cut -c15-18} ºC" as running "sensors | grep -A 0 'temp2' | cut -c15-18" in a terminal returns nothing. Output of "sensors" at http://paste.ubuntu.com/469117/ :) [02:36] Saturn2888, a lot of people have had problems with upgrade in the past. tbh, i'd recommend backing up your files and running a clean install [02:36] Hello, any suggestion for recording mouse action for creating macros and playing them afterwards ? [02:36] j800r: haha, no. I did notice that there were a boatload of console-kit-daemon --no-daemon which got loaded. Maybe that's the issue? There's gotta be an easier way to find out what's happening after I enter my password correctly [02:37] j800r: this is via terminal btw. [02:37] ahhh [02:37] jamil_1, that was a feature i used years ago in like win 3.1 days, don't remember ever seeing a linux implementation. Good luck man.

[03:43] Mr_Sonoma, great! I just deleted my Mandriva distro [03:43] JoeMaverickSett: yeah, there's rather a jumble of version numbers.

I also want to share to a second computer though, and when I hook the shared ethernet connection from the laptop into a switch, both clients won't work [03:47] hypetech: no big deal. did you assign IP addresses manually? [03:47] hypetech: are you doing connection sharing through something like firestarter? [03:47] wiesshund,thats a helpful tip for the future. i think the problem was i was using the wrong case. it si case sensitive for file names? correct? [03:47] Hi guys any idea why I cant move my mouse between monitors??? === ross is now known as Guest85409 [03:48] wrektjet>> Everything in linux is case sensitive [03:48] randy_ I tried that, the connection sharing in ubuntu creates a new 10. network while my router's network is 192., so I assigned manual 10. to both the clients I was trying to connect to the switch but they still wouldn't work at the same time [03:48] I'm just doing sharing through NetworkManager [03:49] hypetech: yeah, connection sharing doesn't quite work right in Network Manager... reluctantly. ok. let me guess, you assigned 192.168.(something).10 to *both* computers [03:49] wiesshund, right ok thnx. i usually just do e/thing lowercase for some reason i renamed this file in upper. there used to be an option in folder view that would show a text adress for the current folder but that seems to be gone in 10.04. i really liked that though [03:49] hypetech>> you didnt assign both pc's same addy did you? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:49] randy_ no. I mean the connection sharing creates a 10.x.x.x network and no I didn't give them both the same address :p [03:50] hypetech: ok ok, you understand of course why i would ask ;) just taking care of the easy stuff first ;) [03:50] wrektjet>> ctrl L [03:50] randy_ no worries :) [03:51] hypetech: now, the way i would do it is much simpler than dealing with NetworkManager, even though it *seems* more difficult at first. we can install and verify, rather quickly, through the command line, whether or not this works, which of course it will. there are only a few steps to this. [03:51] randy_ sure I'm willing to give anything a shot [03:52] Which program could I use to alert me that an unprotected wifi hotspot just became available? [03:52] Hi guys, I need some help. I have multiple monitors running but I can't move the mouse between monitors [03:52] can anyone help??? === Filip0- is now known as Filip0 [03:53] wiesshund, thnx lots [03:53] hypetech: step 1) wireless connectivity (the bridge). step 2) turn on routing (hella important) step 3) assign a network to the ethernet port. step 4) assign IP's from that network to devices on the switch plugged into the ethernet port) [03:54] wiesshund, huge time saver for me. thumbs up [03:55] can anyone tell help me figure out why running a command from commandline works, but when I run it from init.d start, it doesnt work?

I have multiple monitors running but I can't move the mouse between monitors [03:56] sweet got grub working [03:56] how shall i edit /etc/fstab? [03:56] hypetech: there are (2) ways we can do this, depending on which one you would prefer. would you like to (a) extend your network so that you don't have a sub-subnet for the switch or (b) would you like a true wireless bridge that allows DHCP to reach the connection-shared devices? [03:56] hypetech: wait, that was the same option worded differently. the other option is a sub-subnet like you've been trying to do up to this point [03:57] randy_ whichever is easier, I can manually assign the addresses easily enough if necessary. I don't need them on a different subnet than the main internal network [03:58] hypetech: you should probably pm me, so we can go through this ;) [03:59] Hi guys, I need some help. I have multiple monitors running but I can't move the mouse between monitors [03:59] what shall i writw in /etc/fstab?

[04:14] hi all. I was in here yesterday getting help. basically, to recap, I have a computer with an asus k8v se deluxe mobo. for whatever reason, the only way I could get windows xp installer to see the sata hard drive was to tell the bios to treat it as a one disk raid. so windows xp is installed. now I want to dual boot with ubuntu 10.04, but the ubuntu installer does not see that drive. however, when I boot to liveCD ubunt [04:14] u, ubuntu sees the hard drive and lets me partition it. even after making partitions, though, the installer cannot see the drive. any suggestions on how to get around this? [04:14] gp5st: "date +%U" in the terminal [04:15] gp5st: that's with Sunday as the first day of the week. Change the U to V for Monday [04:16] ... and I think %U might be zero-indexed for some reason. "man date" has all the format options.

I burned a CD-ROM of it, inserted it in, made sure my BIOS was booting from a CD before the HDD. However, when I started it up, the BIOS said something like: "Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM failed" very briefly before moving to the Windows ME loading screen. Any suggestions?

[04:22] Did you try to use a usb instead [04:22] test34: ok lol [04:23] maybe your optical drive has a loose connection or is bad, try checking connections or updating firmware for optical drive [04:23] shorttech: that is a display mode that apply to all monitor connected to your computer [04:23] does anyone know a simple way to automount all hdd's on startup? [04:23] anybody?

[04:24] enav1, I have 3 monitors, but it should be the same result. Ill give it a shot. [04:24] Linux Fetus ??=???? LOL nice name [04:24] ty :) [04:25] shorttech: nvidia video card??? [04:25] magicjack works but no internet [04:25] enav1, yep [04:25] shorttech: how many video cards [04:25] enav1, 2 [04:25] enav1, both are nvidia [04:25] hey guys, i just installed ubuntu and i wanted to install epic, but in the ./configure step it warns me with that I need to download (preferably with apt-get) the ncurses-dev or ncurses-devel [04:25] same model i guess [04:25] anyone can tell me the command? [04:25] mcurran: I don't have access to the internet on that computer (it's really old and the OS is incredibly broken). Is there a way to check to see if my CD-RW drive is working properly? I mean, I can load CDs and stuff from Windows, I believe. [04:26] kschwangfelder: the workaround you performed to get XP running, just seems incorrect. Being someone who doesn't know how to install ubuntu on to this "broken" raid array, I personally would look for how to fix the original problem (maybe update bios). [04:26] enav1, nope, unfortunately its not the same model [04:26] shorttech: go private [04:26] smythe: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev [04:26] enav1, how?? [04:26] mcurran: Yeah, my brother (the primary user of that computer) tells me that he gets CD's from games working all of the time. I was just thinking that perhaps my computer is too dated for 10.04. [04:26] rww thank you let me try that [04:26] LinuxFetus, this page have some results have a look: http://www.google.co.in/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=Boot+from+ATAPI+CD-ROM+failed+ubuntu [04:27] smythe: though if by "epic" you mean the IRC client, it's in the repositories anyway, so not much point in compiling it. [04:28] Did you try doing the boot menu key at startup, and not just the default boot order, because that sometimes resets on old pc's [04:28] abhijit: I don't think that post has any replies, correct? I didn't install it yet, though (I was trying to boot live first). [04:28] Hello. My Google Foo has failed me. I have a "Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter" and I want to find a way to use it with Ubuntu. [04:28] LinuxFetus, ok [04:28] ok b4 i destroy my fstab can i ask: can i just delete the line regarding /dev/fd0 ? i dont even have a floppy drive. [04:28] mcurran: Do you mean press the F-key that interrupts startup and select which device to boot from? [04:28] I just had a PC that reset the boot order I set in BIOS on every restart, so I had to press F10 and select USB or CDROM [04:29] mcurran , what else can ido besides ndswrapper? [04:29] yes [04:29] I am using lucid lynx on macbook pro (dual boot) [04:29] I cant get the ctrl+alt F1-F6 working [04:29] I just get a blank screen with a blinking cursor, no login prompt.

[04:31] !who | mcurran [04:31] mcurran: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[04:34] anyone can help? trying to install epic5-1.0* and although i have downloaed the ncurses-del after it prompted me to do so with a warning right after the ./configure when i did make [04:34] ok i will and come back . this will take like 5 mins brb thanks [04:34] sweepi, no actually it's not. [04:34] it prompted an error: cannot find -lperl [04:34] mcurran: your trying to grep mac80211 correct? [04:35] !info epic5 | smythe [04:35] smythe: epic5 (source: epic5): epic irc client, version 5.

It's generally better to use our repository packages than compiling your own. [04:36] ok [04:36] i cant find nswrapper when i searched drivers on install disk [04:36] Like here is my output of that command: 02:07.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [04:36] Hello.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:37] acrtuall , im gonna fire up the old laptop , can come in here and boot this back up on ubuntu [04:37] is there a marihuana channel? [04:38] whats an easy way to see the currently mounted drives thier UUID and their sytem tyopes? thanks [04:38] smythe: don't see what? you type that in the terminal, it installs it, you can run it with the command "epic5" [04:38] sorry [04:38] juboba maybe if you spelled it right [04:38] rww thanks again (as i said, newbie) [04:38] mcurran: What version? 9 is > 650 MB and thus would use up a CD-R and not a CD-RW.... [04:38] hm, but it looks now like it needs a script... [04:38] mcurran: that is spelled right ;P [04:39] I think tried DSL and a couple others already but they didn't work. [04:39] I used a USB [04:39] Knoppix [04:39] Chakra [04:39] smythe: If you're a newbie, epic probably isn't the easiest IRC client to use... [04:39] DSL [04:39] rww hm [04:39] what are you using? [04:39] And an obscure distro. But yeah... do you have Linux Mint 9 on your Pentium II's? Or an older version? [04:39] smythe: irssi, but you probably want something graphical like xchat [04:40] Hello [04:40] rww i have that already... but i think i am doing something else (among many other things) wrong...right now with this bitchx client i have a lot of 'disconnects' after idling.. [04:41] it jumps servers/networks [04:41] 'jumps' :) [04:41] I have have somethingt hat I run in terminal and then leave up.. is there any way to make it more streamlined so it isn't hanging out in the way? [04:41] smythe: using bitchx isn't a particularly good idea [04:41] I know I can switch desktops [04:41] rww why? [04:41] ubottu: bitchx [04:41] bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. [04:41] yo yo yo [04:41] ye ye ye [04:41] smythe: it's not supported any more, and has known security vulnerabilities [04:41] oh i see thank you! [04:42] So yeah, if you're looking for command-line IRC clients, I'd recommend irssi or weechat, as the bot says. [04:42] (sudo apt-get install irssi, or sudo apt-get install weechat) [04:42] and apt-get irssi? [04:42] smythe: yeah, i'm running irssi, not bad at all [04:42] ok thanks [04:42] !irc [04:42] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [04:42] clients listed on that page :) [04:43] ok let me see, does it have tab? [04:43] command/etc completin? [04:43] hello [04:43] smythe: yes [04:43] ok, thank you again [04:45] can someone please tell me the default file search tool in Ubuntu? [04:45] now...i have two (more serious i think) problems, one is memory use (it looks like it 'takes' up alot of memory and the usage increases gradually [04:45] ok this is a semi-noobish question. i was trying to remove univerasl access from my top panel and i removed the evolution mail checker thingy instead, and i couldnt get rid of universal access icon. any idea how i can remove universal access icon and get back my mail cheker >< [04:45] it peaks to the max (1 gb) and then somehow drops to mid 500mb [04:45] and i am not running much (other than the...gnome) [04:45] what's with that? anyone knows? [04:46] ActionParsnip: gnome-search-tool [04:46] meaning? [04:46] ubottu: memory | smythe [04:46] smythe: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [04:46] if i install nvidia driver from ppa in my ubuntu will come the x64bits version? [04:46] thank rww [04:47] and one last question ( i hope) [04:47] it has to do with sound.. [04:47] when viewing youtube video or playing sound in general, the video color fades on and off [04:48] enav1: cheers dude [04:48] to gray and returns to full color and the sound is almost like buffered...can't increase the volume...it is distorted... [04:48] np [04:48] hi everyone. im having some problems running conky. when i set it to autostart at boot up it flashes and disappears. is there some kind of wait command i can use or anything to make it work right? [04:48] enav1: is it a seperate app or is it rolled into nautilus? [04:49] is a gnome tool suit [04:49] i guess is older than nautilus [04:49] what does the entry utf8 mean in fstab? [04:49] enav1, thank you [04:49] semi-nub: make a small script to make it wait until everything loads, then start it. 10 seconds should be enough [04:49] shorttech: hey buddy i thought you destroy your video settings LOL [04:50] shorttech: everything works great now? [04:50] wrektjet: its the encoding of the characters in the file names [04:50] ActionParsnip: how would i do that? >< [04:50] enav1, nope... I had to make another change and it worked.. [04:50] ActionParsnip: i want to lear scripting under Linux i think is cool [04:51] shorttech: very good any way im jealous becuase i got only 2 display you got 3 damnit [04:51] semi-nub: make a script someplace with the command: sleep 10; conky & after the usual bash header line: #!/bin/bash then add it to your startup items and remove the current conky startup item [04:51] enav1, yep... I have 2, 22 INC and 1, 32 INC [04:51] ActionParsnip, not totally clear what that means. but im guessing i dont want to enter it in my new line for automounting? [04:51] wrektjet: you can add it if you want [04:52] shorttech: i got 22" and 18.5" samgsun [04:52] enav1: it's not hard, start with simple stuff, then build up [04:52] ActionParsnip, aight. saving and rebooting now. fingers crossed [04:52] shorttech: i will show you something insane [04:53] wrektjet: make sure you chmod the script as executable [04:53] enav1, ok... [04:53] shorttech: http://is.gd/dINj7 [04:54] shorttech: im so jealous about that guy [04:54] enav1, awesome!!! [04:54] awesome is not enough [04:54] enav1, I wonder how he got the 3d to work with multiple screens [04:54] actionparsnip: like this? http://fpaste.org/LB78/ [04:54] lol [04:54] ActionParsnip, umm i was editing fstab. so nothing to chmod right? [04:54] shorttech: just activate it that is all [04:55] wrektjet: no, the chod was aimed at semi-nub [04:55] enav1, I was never able to get my 3d to work with multiple screen on Mandriva [04:55] enav1, I havent tried on ubuntu yet [04:55] enav1, this is my first day with ubuntu [04:55] semi-nub: yes but without the space in #!/bin/bash [04:55] i personally feel that mandrive have good video performance but with buggy video image [04:55] semi-nub: you can't just add spaces because it takes your fancy [04:56] semi-nub: you also don't need the semicolon [04:56] actionparsnip: heh im not sure how to make scripts reall [04:56] shorttech: ho good... you are wellcome here... this is a big comunity with trolls included :) [04:56] semi-nub: you will also want an ampersand after conky so the process is backgrounded [04:57] actionparsnip: so remove semicolon and space and its correct? and an ampersand? [04:57] shorttech: let me give your a couple of links to pimp your ride [04:57] semi-nub: http://fpaste.org/ie9V/ [04:57] enav1, thats why I decided to switch - the community for Mandriva its kind small [04:57] semi-nub: then chmod +x the file so it is e(x)ecutable [04:57] t [04:58] actionparsnip:ok thank you very much i shall try [04:58] shorttech: its a shame, mandriva is cool [04:58] j/ #conky [04:58] Does anyone know what I need to do to make Burg give me a normal vga console (no framebuffer because I use real nvidia drivers)? Right now I get video mode not supported until gdm pops up [04:58] ActionParsnip, yes Mandriva is cool, I have been using for about 12 months [04:58] shorttech: was my first linux back when it was mandrake [04:58] ActionParsnip, the community is really small though and you cant find much help online [04:59] ActionParsnip, now I have to learn to use gnome [04:59] ActionParsnip, Mandriva was mostly KDE [04:59] shorttech: install kubuntu then, it uses kde [04:59] gnome is very easy === beej666_ is now known as beej666 [04:59] huhuy ubuntu [05:00] ActionParsnip, I think I might... I kind want to try gnome [05:00] I never really used it before [05:00] shorttech: its a fine DE. I tend to use LXDE these days [05:00] ActionParsnip, how come?

[05:04] shorttech: all tree monitor are a big display... that mean one big desktop with 3 monitors [05:05] every panel is a different desktop [05:06] Still need help with ubuntu not recognizing my dvd drives. i checked the plugs there all good and they worked perfect when i was running karmic what 6 months ago [05:07] actionparsnip:that worked perfectly thanks [05:08] now if i can just figure out how to remove the universal access icon in the top panel and get my evolution icon back up there :/ [05:08] Jp82191: try to test your drives on a karmic live cd just to discard drivers problem on lucid [05:08] are there any alternatives to canonical landscape for managing package updates across a few boxes? [05:08] semi-nub: no worries dude, compiz was loading over the top so you needed conky to chillout before running [05:08] hi everybody, i'm currently downloading a video off of a website and i'm able to watch the downloaded part but once that downloaded segment is finished i have to relaunch the video file. is there anyway of the system doing this automatic instead of me relaunching the file? [05:09] piotrb: apt-cacher [05:09] enav1: what do you mean i don't understand [05:09] actionparsnip: cant get the temperature to work in conky either lol [05:09] piotrb: you can upgrade one box online then the others can simply use the debs it has cached [05:09] semi-nub: do you have sensors installed etc [05:10] Jp82191>> he is saying try to boot a 9.10 liveCD [05:10] actionparsnip: yes i believe so [05:10] Jp82191: i mean... turn off your computer put a Karmic CD run Live CD mode and test your DVD drive just to discard some possibility about drivers issue on Lucid [05:10] semi-nub: I used to use this, stopped using conky now: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/conky-a-light-weight-system-monitor-for-ubuntu-linux-systems.html [05:10] kk ill be back [05:10] ActionParsnip: I was looking more for something with a web gui I could see my box's packages .. seems like apt-cacher wouldn't work that well across diffrent box configs [05:11] piotrb: it will work with all ubuntu boxes though as the packages are identical (assuming you use all the same releases) [05:11] Jp82191: is your DVD stuff works on a karmic live CD that mean you got a driver incompatibility issue on your lucid [05:11] unsuccessful with fstab edit :( [05:11] piotrb: you can use: dpkg -l > ~/list.txt to see the packages installed in a text file [05:12] ok so im going to shutdown and see if i can get the live cd to work [05:12] ill be here [05:12] weird it picks up the cd in the desktop [05:13] but not the dvd im trying [05:13] Jp82191>> maybe try a different dvd? [05:13] ok [05:13] Its 2 drives thats why [05:13] you need to restart your pc and run the karmic live CD [05:13] Jp82191: maybe its a cdrom drive, and not a dvd drive :) [05:14] lol both are dvd rw [05:14] so 1 drive doesn't pick up the live cd [05:14] the other does [05:14] perhaps one drive has taken a dirt nap :( [05:15] wiesshund: i think so too [05:15] thats some shit [05:15] 1 drive works the other seems dead [05:16] still opens & closes tho [05:16] Jp82191: ide? [05:16] yea both are ide i checked all the wires already all seem good [05:16] Jp82191: did you check the jumpers?

[05:17] what would those be? [05:18] what's this "properties" of which you speak? [05:18] Jp82191: ya know.. the master/slave/cable select jumper block [05:18] Random832, if you go to the hdd/partition in the gui and right click then select properties [05:18] wrektjet: yes, or you can use auto but specifying it is useful [05:18] One should be master and the other slave? [05:18] Jp82191>> they worked 6 months ago and you havent physical removed them or anything? === urlwallace is now known as wetbrain [05:18] Jp82191: yes, or cable select [05:19] ActionParsnip, so enter the "ext3/ext4" [05:19] they worked 4 days ago under win 7 [05:19] hi [05:19] I'm having problems with my nvidia driver [05:19] wrektjet: no, it is either ext3 or ext4, not both [05:19] Jp82191: ok, just throwing around ideas [05:19] Jp82191>> reboot see if you can boot a liveCD off the dead drive [05:19] Jp82191: i'd grab the ultimate boot cd and test it using the manufacturers tool [05:19] ActionParsnip, how can i be sure which one it is? [05:19] I installed the official nvidia drivers, and when I start GDM, I get a white screen [05:20] [screen on a remote computer] My ssh connection showed: "Write failed: Broken pipe." I re-established the ssh connection. '~$ ps aux' shows that the processes screen and irssi still exist. How can I get Irssi again as my display image? [05:20] hmmm [05:20] paranoidphreak: i assume you are seeing some artifact from firefox downloading to a .part file and then renaming when done. I normally "copy link location", and use wget or curl from the command line (or another downloader program). [05:20] what driver do I need to get my cricut to work with Linux [05:20] let me check the jumpers first then ill try the ultimate boot cd [05:20] find ou what type it's actually mounted as [05:20] type 'mount' in a terminal [05:21] is it possible to hide a conversation window with empathy?

You can minimize it. So it will not clutter your display image. [05:23] brb [05:24] minimize them to the system tray. It's not a big deal , I just get annoyed when I have many windows open and it clutters up my window list. [05:24] ActionParsnip: those are different issues- my white screen has blotches of black in it [05:24] it might be a problem with the official driver [05:25] in any case, I'll be back in a bit- I ran dpkg-reconfigure === wetbrain is now known as urlwallace [05:25] For example if they message you first a window doesn't pop up with the conversation and you can bring up that window by clicking on the indicator applet and then the conversation [05:27] Hi I'm trying to share my file and folders in ubuntu 10.04 but it says "this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system" [05:27] what package should I install ?

You may be able to ask in #xchat if it exists [05:46] no! even restart didn't solve that "Personal File Sharing" is still disabled! [05:46] ActionParsnip, ok, thks [05:46] ubuntu456: try: gksudo nautilus then try in that. [05:46] thune3: thanks for the info!!!, i'll see what i can do [05:47] wiesshund: I want to disable it from startup... it's easy I just need to edit a file but now I can't remember.. I had the instructions on a file that I lost lol [05:47] uLinux: you could add the stop command in /etc/rc.local [05:47] Hey all, I'm new to Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop and Win Vista on a laptop. Trying to print from Windows Vista laptop to printer connected to Ubuntu desktop. The Vista laptop found the printer but when I try to print to it, I'm getting Communication error. Please help [05:47] uLinux>> see msg window [05:47] uLinux: i just told you how [05:47] ActionParsnip, you mean I type taht in terminal ? [05:47] *that [05:48] ubuntu456: sure, or an ALT+F2 dialogue [05:48] got it now actionparsnip. it works fine with gnome-mplayer but not just mplayer [05:48] hi guys how do i setup a kick start intall with ubuntu netbook edition..? using image to a server. [05:48] gen_cornwallis: use gnome-mplayer is all I can suggest then [05:48] ubuntu456, nautilus-share might be needed [05:49] If I have desktop never moving from wired network & want to manually setup network for dhcp... [05:49] do I simply make sure the interfaces file says iface eth0 inet dhcp ? [05:50] shawnboy: you will also want: auto eth0 === BrendenB is now known as Guest55706 [05:51] ActionParsnip, ok, yeah. But 1) do I need to manually enter anything into resolv.conf and 2) do I need to somehow disable net manager? [05:51] shawnboy: if you set a static IP you wont have to wait for DHCP to succeed but you will have to manually set DNS servers (you can use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and they are defined in /etc/resolv.conf). You can then remove network manager and such as they are now no use to you which will make your system use less resources and boot faster === nathan is now known as Guest87973 [05:51] ActionParsnip, gksudo natilus just opened a folder window with desktop in it. I'm very new to linux I'm windows user so sorry if I get you slowly. === Guest87973 is now known as brummbaer [05:52] shawnboy: dhclient deals with resolv.conf using the information it gets from your dhcp server [05:52] shawnboy: as you wont have to wait for network manager to 1) load and 2) configure stuff [05:52] SalmonSam, natilus-share also has green rectangle beside it, I presume it shows it has been installed already [05:52] rww: set it to static and you dont have to wait for dhcp. If its never going to move then this is a very viable option [05:52] shawnboy: and yes, if you're using /etc/network/interfaces you should remove network manager. It's not supposed to interfere, but it sometimes does. [05:53] rww, remove, or can I simply disable somehow at first to make sure all works ok? [05:53] ActionParsnip: waiting for dhcp takes maybe a second or two for me, and it happens in parallel with other bootup stuff. I wouldn't be too concerned. [05:53] what is a networked first person shooter that has many many players [05:53] Hey all, I'm new to Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop and Win Vista on a laptop. Trying to print from Windows Vista laptop to printer connected to Ubuntu desktop. The Vista laptop found the printer but when I try to print to it, I'm getting Communication error. Please help [05:53] rww: i just like the extra bits like that, seconds here, seconds there. its all good [05:54] probably takes longer to set up than you end up saving in total, actually... === KarlMarx is now known as Omega [05:54] shawnboy: if you install a local dns too you can cache resolutions and make DNS take 0ms rather than ~30ms and makes the internet faster [05:55] ActionParsnip, rww, I understand both views. I have my pfsense set to assign same IP via dhcp according to MAC. I like not having to fool with other stuff that way. [05:55] * red2kic wasted ~2000ms of his time to type this message. [05:56] after setting up interfaces file, how would I 1) only disable net man and 2) remove (apt-get remove ...?) [05:57] shawnboy: no idea about 1), but 2) would be "sudo apt-get purge network-manager" (and say yes if it complains that it has to remove network-manager-gnome) [05:57] shawnboy: you can remove it from the bootup, or you can remove it using apt-get / software-centre [05:57] rww, point well taken, but still at least it's all setup in one place (my pfSense box which controls PS3 and several client PCs) as opposed to each of several clients. [05:57] how can i get a list of pending security updates on commandline? is there a query using apt-get/aptitude? [05:58] scoopex: how do you mean "pending" [05:58] Woohoo!

I hope it's stable enough to play with even though it's "stable beta". [05:59] ActionParsnip: update packages which are not apllied to my system.... [05:59] hey my .3gp files hangs when i play them with realplayer [06:00] which player is best for playing .3gp files [06:00] tell me [06:00] ActionParsnip, rww , thanks again. I'm out of here for now. [06:00] is there another channel to get support or is this the only one? [06:01] i keep having this problem where if i close a program (amarok and fretsonfire at least) i can't open them again until i restart [06:01] shawncm217: there is a Lucid release which is fine and dandy [06:02] scoopex: sudo apt-get upgrade should tell you what updates are available, you have to press Y to tell the system you are happy to download them [06:02] !irc | brandon [06:02] brandon: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [06:03] ActionParsnip: i can get a list of open update packages by invoking aptitude search ~U -w 120 -F "%p %v# %V#" ....but how can i distinguish security and functional updaates? [06:03] anybody know if security.ubuntu.com and/or archive.ubuntu.com are down or extremely slow? [06:04] disturbedmime: working fine here [06:04] Busco putas, aca hay ? [06:04] im having issues with several boxen [06:04] I am working to get dual boot xp and ubuntu 10.04 on my system. Following the recom. of someone earlier, I reinstalled xp onto a sata drive connected to a promise SATA378 controller. unfortunately, the 10.04 installer still cannot see the hard drive. [06:04] scoopex: thats above my skillset dude, sorry [06:05] if i close a program (amarok and fretsonfire at least) i can't open them again until i restart and it's 10.04 [06:05] !es | ScaN [06:05] ScaN: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Alos make sure the processes are still not lingering [06:05] kschwangfelder: had that problem when i was trying to install to a raid controller [06:06] disturbedmime: did you ever find a solution? [06:06] ActionParsnip, I was using Xchat-gnome witch has no "connection command" field, I had to set the command for freenode using xchat and then xchat-gnome handles it [06:06] ActionParsnip, thz [06:06] I read in web someone indicated libpam-smbpass is that also required for "Personal file Sharing -> Share Public Files On NetWork" to be activated ?

I use pidgin personally [06:06] I'm having this problem with sensors: http://pastebin.com/rzYEszmp and I found a solution here http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8485676 is this safe? [06:07] uLinux: sure, wort thing that will happen is you will get no boot and need to use livecd to edit the boot option out [06:08] uLinux: Looks safe to me. [06:08] ActionParsnip, fretsonfire says a bunch of stuff ending in pygame.error: No available audio device even though an hour ago the game played fine [06:08] ActionParsnip, xchat-gnome has notification applet support so it is nice too ;) [06:08] uLinux: keep the current boot options though or you will lose plymouth [06:08] devin: ok then run: ps -ef | grep -i fret are there any processes around which smell like FoF (it's an awesome game) [06:08] hmm never edit the grub with live cd [06:08] edited [06:09] kschwangfelder: yes, you need the 'alternate' install disk, it contains many drivers on the local cd that the normal installer doesn't have, but you don't get the pretty install interface (anaconda instead) [06:09] uLinux: you'll just mount the partition using the places menu then run: gksudo nautilus You can then access you partition via it's UUID in /media and edit the file, its that simple [06:09] kschwangfelder: although i can't guarantee it will work for you [06:10] kschwangfelder: just out of curiosity, the disk is visible in BIOS right? [06:10] disturbedmime: I just ran the alternate cd I have, and it still did not see a hard drive. do I have to alert it that I need access to these extra drivers, or does this mean that it probably won't work? [06:10] yeah, the bios sees it [06:10] it boots xp just fine [06:11] but with xp, I had to use a floppy to introduce a driver to see the SATA disk [06:11] kschwangfelder: your fancy controller may need extra modules [06:11] ActionParsnip: does it mount the partition automatically? [06:11] ActionParsnip, what was that supposed to do? it just gave me devin 13239 13171 0 22:09 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i fret [06:11] @find the realdeal [06:11] kschwangfelder: hmm, i didn't need to do anything other than tell it that i wanted to create a raid interface, are the drives on separate hardware controllers [06:11] ? [06:12] ActionParsnip: can you elaborate? how do i get these modules/introduce them during the install? [06:12] devin: ok then thats the grep running, it lists the processes running containing the word fret (case insensitive) [06:12] I have a friend with a bcm43xx that keeps dropping out [06:12] kschwangfelder: it depends on the controller you use, there is no single answ [06:12] do you think it would be a good idea for me to suggest she try ndiswrapper? [06:12] uLinux: using the places menu, yes [06:12] ActionParsnip, i should add that system monitor lists amarok as a zombie process after i quit it [06:12] disturbedmime: I am not sure I understand the question. there are two pairs of sata interfaces. one is the promise SATA378, and the other is VIA or something like that [06:12] devin: then kill it off [06:13] ActionParsnip, it can't be killed [06:13] kschwangfelder: run: lspci it wil say and you can web search for the controller to find guides [06:13] devin: kill -9 PID [06:13] kschwangfelder: ok, so are both hard drives using the same controller or are they on separate controllers? if they are on separate controllers, try moving them to the same controller [06:14] ActionParsnip, where do i put the program in that line? [06:14] i have a problem with totem movie player === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:14] disturbedmime: there is only one hard drive [06:14] I partitioned it so that half would be for xp and the other half for ubuntu [06:14] when i hold my mouse to totem task bar i can see the video on player .. other wise not [06:14] kschwangfelder: i thought you said you installed XP on a separate sata disk? [06:14] any suggestions on the bcm43xx? [06:14] disturbedmime: no, sorry. I may have not been clear. i meant that xp is on the drive where I want to but ubuntu. sorry if I was not clear [06:15] ActionParsnip: from where do I run lspci, is this from the live CD? [06:15] kschwangfelder: oic, ok in that case, boot off the live CD, run an 'lspci' or some type of hardware inspection tool, figure out what hard drive controller you have, then determine which kernel module you need to either enable or d/l and install, then start the installer normally [06:16] kschwangfelder: after enabling the driver of course... [06:17] kschwangfelder: in a terminal. Press CTRL+ALT+T to fire one up [06:17] disturbedmime: ok, so this is getting into unfamiliar waters, so let me make sure I understand. I run the liveCD, open a terminal, run lspci, figure out which module I need and get it via apt-get. [06:17] devin: no, the PID, the PID is the leftmost number in the identifying line [06:17] will the installer then have access to that module === carlos is now known as Guest32373 [06:17] ActionParsnip, i have no idea what you are talking about, but anyway, this time when i quit amarok it didn't do the zombie thing, and then when i started fretsonfire it started up with no problem [06:18] kschwangfelder: you'll run lspci, make a note of the controllers ship then get online to search for it and how to make it run under linux [06:18] devin: the PID is a number given to a process and ALL OSes use them [06:19] devin: if you run: ps -ef | head -n 15 you will see the colomn headers, intead of the name, you can use the PID [06:19] kschwangfelder: correct, you may also want to check /etc/modules in the fresh install to ensure that the module is loaded, it may also require a grub call [06:19] kschwangfelder: its likely that if someone else has run into this, that they have documented it on a wiki so that you can follow along [06:19] ActionParsnip/disturbedmime: okay, I will try this suggestion. booting liveCD as we speak. [06:19] ActionParsnip, ok so PID is like another way of specifying the program? i don't get it. so it seems to me the problem is that amarok and fretsonfire are somehow interfering with one another [06:20] disturbedmime: grub is the bootloader, correct? what do you mean by i might need a grub call? [06:20] ActionParsnip, because fretsonfire doesn't have that audio problem after amarok is quit [06:21] devin: yes, its the identifiier of the process, computers dont use words, they use numbers. The kernel is always process 0 (or it may be 1) so if you want to manipulate a process you will need its PID (PID stands for [P]rocess [I][D]entifier) [06:21] I tried googling this, but came up empty. can I assign a Fkey to open an application like pressing ctrl+F6 will open the app? [06:21] kschwangfelder: yes, grub is the bootloader (the program that lets you pick ubuntu or windows) [06:21] devin: maybe amarok is tying up stuff. Do you use KDE? [06:21] kschwangfelder: you probably won't need to mess with grub, and if you do, the package manager should take care of that as part of the install [06:22] ActionParsnip, amarok is KDE but the rest of my system is gnome i think. I'm a noob with ubuntu [06:22] flomaster>> http://www.captain.at/howto-gnome-custom-hotkey-keyboard-shortcut.php ? [06:23] wiesshund: thanks man [06:23] devin: that may be a factor then, the kde app may be doing weird things under gnome [06:24] ActionParsnip, i am also having to run it as root so that it has permission to get into my MacOS's music folder [06:24] devin: oh jesus no [06:24] ActionParsnip, i haven't been able to figure out how to get the permissions changed on the music folder [06:24] and they wept [06:25] devin: you set them at mount so that users can get access. running apps unnecessarily as root is a recipe for disaster [06:25] ActionParsnip, set what at mount? [06:25] Is a md5sum file required for installing themes via .deb? [06:25] devin: the access [06:26] JoshStrobl: not really, you can use the md5 to check the data is complete and consistant [06:26] Ok Thanks :) [06:26] Do you know of a way to get make md5sums of all files in a directory? Instead of one by one? [06:27] hi all [06:27] ActionParsnip, right, so how do i do that? i vaguely remember something about that when i was adding an automount entry to the fstab file?

[06:30] s/again/back/ [06:32] ActionParsnip, let me clarify that i just today added an entry to the fstab file to automatically mount the drive: /dev/sda2 /mnt/macosx hfsplus user,noauto 0 0 and as far as i can tell the "user" part was supposed to give me permissions but it doesn't, so i'm confused [06:34] devin: try: /dev/sda2 /mnt/macosx hfsplus user,noauto,uid=1000 0 0 should give your user access [06:34] disturbedmime/ActionParsnip: i ran lspci, and no surprises, the promise sata378 drivers are the ones it lists for my hard drive. the weird thing is that in the disk utility, it is aware of the hard disk and would allow me to partition if I wished [06:34] kschwangfelder: hmm, then what issue does the installer have? [06:35] hooray, found the issue with archive.ubuntu.com, stupid mtu issue with vmware [06:35] the installer does not see the hard disk. it shows no available hard disks for install [06:35] kschwangfelder: but gparted does? [06:35] Hey i know this is total newb stuff but where can i view installed programs like the cairo dock without being in synaptic [06:35] disturbedmime: yes [06:36] it sees the the ntfs partition for xp and the unallocated part where I want to put ubuntu [06:36] kschwangfelder: hmm, haven't run into that, does 'fdisk -l' look like it can see the hard drives? [06:37] hello [06:37] ActionParsnip, thanks, i'm going to restart and see if it worked [06:37] disturbedmime: no, it lists no partitions [06:38] kschwangfelder: check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=726546 looks like it may be that your sata disk isn't in the primary slot, sounds like a bug in the installer [06:38] question: is there a good recommended disk encryption program for 10.04 LTS? [06:39] disturbedmime: do you mean in terms of teh two available cable connections? [06:39] and does ubuntu support usb 3.0? [06:39] ActionParsnip, bad news, my mac partition isn't even showing up at all now [06:40] Hi [06:40] hello [06:40] devin: you'll need to play with the mounting options. Running stuff like amarok as root is a really bad idea [06:40] kschwangfelder: yeah, basically the disk would need to be in sata0 vs sata1 (or sata1 vs sata2) [06:40] kschwangfelder: long story short, try changing the cable to the other sata port on the mobo [06:41] disturbedmime: ok, I read the discussion just now. I am turning off the computer, and I will move to the other slot [06:41] ActionParsnip, why didn't the automount work? [06:41] Danielsada: do you know much about ubuntu disk encryption? [06:42] ActionParsnip, and why is it when i tried to mount it through disk utility that it says it's mounted but it's not showing up anywhere? [06:42] disturbedmime: I was connected to the secondary slot. just switched, let's see what shakes out [06:42] dumb not much... but i dont really think its that necesary [06:42] kschwangfelder: crossin' fingers [06:43] [screen on a remote computer] My ssh connection showed: "Write failed: Broken pipe." I re-established the ssh connection. '~$ ps aux' shows that the processes screen and irssi still exist. How can I get Irssi back as my display image? [06:43] daniel, pro'ly true. Just wanted a bit more secured laptop in case it's stolen or lost [06:44] bullgard4: if only one screen session running type: screen -x ..if multiple: screen -list then screen -dr *which screen you see listed* [06:44] devin: paste the line from fstab [06:45] disturbedmime: no luck. it still sees nothing when I get to the prepare partitions screen. I had high hopes. [06:46] kschwangfelder: damn [06:46] welll [06:46] that's a good poin [06:46] but a strong password on the bios [06:46] sweetpi /dev/sda2 /mnt/macosx hfsplus user,noauto,uid=1000 0 0 but i tried commenting it out just now and mounting again thru disk utility and it mounted to /media/Macintosh HD so should I change the line to that? [06:46] and in the ubuntu sistem [06:46] will do that well [06:46] bastidrazor: '~$ screen -x; There are several suitable screens on: 19890.pts-1.no (26.07.2010 05:58:16) (Attached); 16217.pts-1.no (25.07.2010 20:15:21) (Detached); Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.'

[06:47] dumb, not by itself [06:47] oh [06:48] but if you protect the bios [06:48] to block CD and USB protection [06:48] CD and USB boot sorry [06:48] kschwangfelder: how about this post, another good idea, i have actually run into this issue before, although it didn't present like this http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/installers-cant-find-hard-drive/30072.html [06:48] and put a strong password in your linux [06:48] ohh ic [06:48] thanks for the tip [06:48] bullgard4: screen -wipe numbershere.pts-1.no [06:48] devin: well it all depends where you want it. noauto is what stopped it from mounting at boot btw [06:48] and not installing any remote login services [06:49] but thats really hard :P [06:49] AND put a password on the bios [06:49] I'm not even trying that :) [06:49] if I was wanting to setup a cron job to automatically backup files for a folder. what would be the best guide to learn how to do it [06:49] sweetpi so should i remove "noauto" or put in "auto" instead? [06:49] so you can edit, but only you [06:50] disturbedmime: hmm, that sounds interesting. what is ahci mode? [06:50] devin: just take out noauto [06:51] bullgard4: if you screen -dr numbers.pts-1.no and connect to one that you want to kill ctrl+a (release) then k [06:51] kschwangfelder: its the new sata protocol, there should be an 'ide' mode available which keeps compatibility with older drives [06:51] devin: and make sure the mount point exists [06:51] daniel, k thanks. I will give it a shot [06:51] bullgard4: that will kill that screen session [06:51] disturbedmime: at the moment, I am in IDE mode [06:51] the other option is RAID mode [06:51] great.. [06:52] kschwangfelder: yeah RAID is no bueno, you can try it in AHCI mode just to see if it will show up, although you may need to tweak XP to get it to work in that mode [06:52] devin: you should unmount it first, then just "mount /mnt/macosx". no need to reboot to test permissions [06:52] sweetpi it says it's mounted but it's not on the desktop or in places, where is it? [06:53] devin: you need to have it in /media for it to show up that way [06:53] disturbedmime: wait, I don't actually have AHCI mode. the two options I get are IDE and RAID. it could be that I need to update the bios. [06:53] sweetpi thanks i'll fix that [06:53] Anyone suggest anything better than Gwibber? [06:53] kschwangfelder: yeap, im surprised that it supports RAID and not AHCI, interesting...

[06:58] devin: type mount | grep sda2 [06:58] xangua, I'm aware of that.... thanks =D i love air =D === andrew_ is now known as Guest89996 [06:58] disturbedmime: thank you for the patient help. I am going to try the recommendations of that last link tomorrow. i have to get some sleep so I can go to work. have a good evening! [06:58] kschwangfelder: no problem, good luck [06:58] thanks! [06:59] sweetpi /dev/sda2 on /mnt/macosx type hfsplus (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,user=devin) [06:59] sweetpi and i don't want it to be rw just r [07:00] devin: close any programs accessing /mnt/macosx [07:00] devin: then it would be ro [07:00] sweetpi nothing's accessing it, and how do i change it? [07:00] devin: in fstab [07:01] where can I get TweetDeck? [07:01] devin: is disk utility open? [07:01] sweetpi yes i know it's in fstab, but i don't know exactly what to put in [07:01] sweetpi i closed disk utility and the terminal is still telling me "segmentation fault" [07:02] hello all [07:02] in tweetdeck's web RealEyes [07:02] devin: well lets not change fstab until we can fix that [07:02] its for ubuntu? [07:03] mmm i don't thin that you read what we say to you RealEyes .....well anyways....good luck [07:03] devin: lsof | grep /mnt/macosx [07:03] Can someone help me out? [10.04] Every time I open synaptic, update manager, software center, or ubuntu tweak.. the app will pop up for a split second then close. I have tried restarting and ect [07:03] xangua, you guys were talking about adobe air... [07:04] do i need to get adobe air or tweetdeck? lol [07:05] Jul 25 18:38:00 pryorda -- MARK -- [07:05] getting that in my messages log [07:05] anyideas [07:05] ? [07:05] sweetpi i figured it out - i saved fstab with the new mount point before unmounting, so i changed it back and it unmounted [07:05] RealEyes: both, tweetdeck is an adobeair app [07:05] .............. [07:05] hi. i was wondering, how can i disable screensaver? [07:05] alright, i see [07:05] devin: ok. as for the ro option, just add it where you had noauto [07:05] pryorda: it's normal, just the rsyslog daemon indicating that it's still running [07:06] i am facing a problem Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel [07:06] thats annoying [07:06] rww: anyway to disable [07:06] what is the best way to learn the ways of linux as a somewhat beginner and the shell commands (linuxcommand.org) but as an example? [07:06] RealEyes: you first need to the enable parther repository [07:06] sweetpi so like this: /dev/sda2 /media/macosx hfsplus user,ro,uid=1000 0 0 [07:06] devin: yes [07:06] !partner | RealEyes [07:06] RealEyes: 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/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [07:07] once enabled do: sudo apt-get install adobeair [07:07] i ran that line and there were no errors [07:08] sweetpi the thing uid=1000 was supposed to give me permission to get into my music folder, but it didn't work [07:08] pryorda: look for "$ModLoad immark" in /etc/rsyslog.conf and put a # in front of it [07:08] tweetdeck's site says that it's installing but, i dont believe its doing anything [07:08] rww: sweet [07:08] i will check it [07:08] out [07:09] pryorda: you'll probably have to restart rsyslogd with "sudo service rsyslog restart" afterwards [07:09] rww: #$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability [07:09] it was already commented out [07:09] devin: echo $UID [07:09] rww: im not the typical ubuntu user it [07:10] sweetpi it's 1000 [07:10] devin: try umask=022 instead [07:11] wow [07:11] hmm [07:11] Can someone help me out? [10.04] Every time I open synaptic, update manager, software center, or ubuntu tweak.. the app will pop up for a split second then close. I have tried restarting and ect [07:11] pryorda: odd. Might be turned on somewhere else in there or in /etc/rsyslog.d/ or something, then. I have it commented out and don't get --MARK-- messages, so... [07:11] sweetpi no change [07:11] rww: im thinking that [07:11] doing [07:11] Auto eth0 keeps disconnecting and then reconnecting. What can i do? [07:12] devin: did you remount it? [07:12] grep -R inmark /etc/* [07:12] sweetpi the problem has always been that only certain folders are unavailable, so i can get into my ebooks folder just fine, but not my music, pictures, documents, downloads, etc [07:12] pryorda: it's immark, not inmark [07:13] sweetpi root can access them, but not any other user [07:13] devin: what are the permissions/ownership of those directories? [07:14] rww: yeah its only showing one instance [07:14] sweetpi when I look it "properties," the only difference on the music folder etc is that under "Group," Folder access is "none" [07:14] devin: ls -al path_to_good_dir; ls -al path_to_bad_dir [07:15] rww: what about lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions\ [07:15] seen that one before [07:15] pryorda: does "ps -A | grep syslog" show only rsyslogd? [07:15] I have postfix installed however when I try to send mail my mail log states the connection to hotmail and such are timing out. Google says its because comcast blocks outbound port 25. How can I change postfix to send mail on another port? [07:15] pryorda: that's also normal [07:15] rww: what is it about [07:16] im a bsd user and seeing all these *new* things is like um wtf [07:16] you knkow/ [07:16] hi! I have a problem with cups ! can any one help me? [07:16] I can't print jpg files with cups [07:16] 474 ? 00:00:00 xfslogd/0 [07:17] 475 ? 00:00:00 xfslogd/1 [07:17] 1065 ? 00:00:00 klogd [07:17] 18923 ? 00:00:00 syslogd [07:17] pryorda: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:17] rww: thats what shows [07:17] pryorda: Disabling http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3041.txt for the loopback device (which is the virtual networking device internal to the computer, and thus doesn't need privacy extensions) [07:17] sweetpi the good directory starts out with drwxr-xr-x 1 501 dialout 28 2010-03-14 09:05 . [07:17] pryorda: yeah, you have some other syslog daemon running that's doing it. Which Ubuntu version are you using? [07:18] 10.04 [07:18] pryorda: did you install a different syslogd yourself? [07:18] i dont think so [07:18] sweetpi the bad directory says ls: cannot open directory blah blah Permission denied [07:18] im wondering if something added it manually [07:18] devin: hmm. looks like its picking up bad uid/gid [07:19] pryorda: apparently, because none of them are installed on a default Ubuntu 10.04 [07:19] I just wanted to make sure: can I install with the alternative disc offline? I didn't see a way to do this with the text/expert-text install. [07:19] i had a problem which i could not understand during boot the error is Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel [07:19] sweetpi sorry did it wrong [07:19] what does it means [07:19] devin: set uid and gid to 1000 in fstab [07:19] rww: lol [07:19] sweetpi it's drwx---r-x 1 501 dialout etc [07:20] dpkg --list |grep log [07:20] listed [07:20] rsyslog [07:20] and sysklog [07:20] pryorda: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:20] tweetdeck is not installing lol [07:20] pryorda: for syslogd, you'd want to edit /etc/default/syslogd and add "-m 0" to the SYSLOGD variable. I have no idea for the others. [07:21] is this a problem related to initrd or any setting Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel [07:21] pryorda: personally, I'd remove the others and stick with rsyslogd, since it's the default [07:21] rww: what version you running [07:21] bastidrazor: I solved my problem using '~$ exit' followed by '~$ screen -x'. -- Thank you very much for your help. [07:21] pryorda: 10.04 on one computer and Ubuntu Maverick on the other [07:21] rsylog is the default [07:21] RealEyes: apps>accesories>tweetdeck [07:21] correct [07:21] sweetpi still no access to the music folder [07:21] k im gonna remove sysklog [07:21] devin: actually im not sure if hfsplus supports overriding the uid/gid [07:21] no reason for it to be running [07:21] hii sweetpi [07:22] xangua it's not there [07:22] for what purpose i could use ubunto one services? [07:22] RealEyes: the you did not install it [07:22] you read my problem above can you do something [07:22] had to refresh the page lol [07:22] sweetpi do you think i need to change the permissions from the mac side? [07:22] rww: did apt-get remove sysklogd [07:22] blink: [07:22] lets see what happens [07:22] blink: move data from something to something else [07:22] also can you repost the rfc link you gave [07:22] hey all [07:23] blink: to snyn your data [07:23] sync* [07:23] whats the best way to customize the boot menu in 10.04lts [07:23] pryorda: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3041.txt [07:23] blink: like a smartphone when you on the go and it runs outts space upload to ubunto one [07:23] I have a quick question about scripting. I want to learn one scripting language and that is python. Would it be easier to learn python, instead of bash script? [07:23] blink: lots of uses of online storage [07:23] rww: another think [07:23] awesome [07:23] n00b1, almost definitely. [07:23] how do you see if a service is set to auto run with boot [07:23] What is the main reason to release Ubuntu version 10.04.1 compared with 10.04? [07:23] one more thing before i leave.. how can i auto-connect to my wireless network? [07:24] everytime i have to do manually [07:24] devin: i doubt it, ill keep looking for a way. meanwhile maybe ask in ##linux about the permissions. whatever you do though. dont actually chmod/chown the drive in linux [07:24] sweetpi do you know why it is that root has access to those folders but other users don't? [07:24] blink: well it ask for youur keyring [07:24] nio: i didnt see your question [07:24] bullgard4: 10.04.1 is 10.04 plus the updates that have come out since then. LTS point releases like 10.04.1 are released so that people don't have to install all of the updates that come out over the (five year) lifecycle of the LTS. [07:24] blink: Install NetworkManager. (Ubuntu installs it by default.) [07:24] blink: if you gave it no keyring it just connects [07:25] sweetpi that's why i was running my music programs as root, so they could get to the music [07:25] devin: yes, because ownership doesnt matter to root [07:25] rww: how do you view the auto starting services [07:25] pryorda: no idea. Ubuntu switched to upstartd recently, and I haven't looked into how it works. [07:25] devin: i know. but its really a bad idea. ill try to find you a way. give me a few min [07:25] well, switched fully recently. it's used it in varying amounts for a while. [07:25] sweetpi ok i'll start asking on the linux channel [07:26] blink: normaly ater you configure the network once it gets added to auto connect look in prefs network conenction if you did it wrong the first time or something the wrong key might be in there [07:26] blink: deleting it from there will reset that [07:27] gogeta: my wireless network has no key [07:27] blink: then you gave it a keyring on your fist install and its askin for that [07:27] gogeta: plus when the system starts, it just list the wireless network which i have to click on it in order to connect [07:28] blink: maybe eing its open its not auto connecting [07:29] blink: go to prefs network connection slect your network in wireless hit edit and check connect auto [07:29] blink: auto conenct [07:29] sweetpi i had a problem during boot error occurs Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel [07:29] when you chose to encrypt home folder during ubuntu install what encryption does it use? [07:30] gen_cornwallis: ecryptfs [07:30] Hi [07:31] Hi,too [07:31] blink: it should just conect to that network when you start up from now on [07:32] i am using ubuntu 10.4, and i can't see the prefered network box [07:32] hi [07:33] ok [07:33] blink: system>prefs>network connections then hit the wireless tab you will see your network in te list slect it press the edit bution then in the chck box slect connect automaticly [07:33] rww: initctl [07:34] i need help ubuntu 10.4 [07:34] !ask | panashe [07:34] panashe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [07:57] Hello everyone. I was wondering what exactly is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu (or any OS, really, though I'll try to keep it on topic) [07:58] I guess not lol [07:58] etrask: 32 will work on both 32 and 64 bit cpus. 64bit only works on 64 bit cpus. 64bit will run 64bit programs [07:58] 64bit got more RAM [07:58] isaraX: did it finish the install for you [07:59] ei [07:59] etrask: 64-bit processors use 64 bit registers, which allows 64-bit operating systems to access more memory, whereas 32-bit ones are limited to 4GB of system memory (unless they use hacks like PAE) [07:59] anyone one know how to setup filezilla to access my vsftp server I setup? [07:59] If I'm not mistaken 64-bit version will let -- ah, I see [08:00] solution to disable openssh-server on boot: "sudo nano /etc/init/ssh.conf" and change "start on never" [08:00] ;) [08:00] fine. be oblivious to what apt-get does and NOT have working open office. [08:00] I suppose asking what a register is would count as a threadjack? :P [08:00] -_- [08:00] Love all the help [08:01] I was told to always compile from source [08:01] If I could [08:01] etrask: wikipedia does a good job: "a small amount of storage available on the CPU whose contents can be accessed more quickly than storage available elsewhere". Notably, they're used to store memory locations. [08:01] ThisDB: this is not particularly good advice on distributions with package management. [08:01] Rww I see. [08:01] no make install then [08:02] RWW am I correct in understanding 64-bit allows 16 general purpose registers where 32-bit has 8? [08:02] ubottu: wfm | re [08:02] http://pastebin.com/BJe4tmiE <<<< GPARTED ERROR [08:02] all in all it seems, driver support withstanding, there's no reason NOT to go 64-bit if your hardware supports it [08:02] when I hit 'F3', I would like it to output the pound sign # ( having bad key issues). how do i do that ? [08:03] etrask: I'm not sure of the numbers, but yeah, 64-bit is the way to go. I've used it for a while on one of my computers, haven't had any problems [08:03] sounds like that works for you rww [08:04] reverebeer: Regardless of your opinion, compiling from source is 1) more difficult than using package management, 2) not supported in here.

[08:13] hi, how can I set min password length to 3, ubuntu says it needs at least 6 characters, I read an ubuntu manual and it said that I have to edit /etc/pam.d/common-password , I did but still when I want to change password it says min length should be 6, BTW I'm a windows advance user but ubuntu first time user. [08:13] Wait [08:13] Do I need a seprate install cd? [08:13] Or do I just set the option to launch from cd in my bios? [08:13] hi all, please could someone assist, latest kernel update deleted windows from my grub menu and update-grub does not find Windows at all anymore and does not replace it back [08:14] ubuntu456: if you run: sudo -i ; passwd foo ,replace foo with your username, can you set the shorter pass?

[08:18] panashe: you'll need to be a lot more specific [08:18] anyone [08:18] panashe, what's the problem? [08:18] !details | panashe [08:18] panashe: 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 ..."

Since then, it doesn't want to start automatically (I have to startx from console), even though I re-installed the package. Why is that? [08:24] tra.gz [08:24] ActionParsnip: yes i had to do it to fix my issue but update-grub should probe and add [08:24] panashe: its rare to use tar files in ubuntu as the repos and ppas have lots of compiled software [08:24] tar.gz [08:24] panashe: no, what's the file name? === zan_ is now known as Gornjak [08:24] psypher246: then log a bug and fix your grub config up [08:24] ActionParsnip: yup, thanks anyway [08:25] Im having problems with an Atheros Airnet Wifi card... it freeze my computer after random periods of use [08:26] I have an HAwei K3715 Internet Key and ubuntu still not recognize or configure...

[09:08] SunTzu: i'm into dl-ing bunch of livedvds... [09:08] gour: have him try both. The only significant difference is the interface, so see which he prefers with the LiveUSBs [09:08] gour i'm a Slacker, i duno from dist-jumping myself :) give him choices and let him play [09:08] gour k [09:09] SunTzu: ok [09:09] gour that is the essence of LinuxTao :) [09:09] gour: I haven't messed with the netbook edition much but I'd say go with the desktop edition, IIRC the netbook interface is optimized to allow you to do a few things very easily on a small screen (and not much else). Not that there is anything you *can't* do with UNR, but I think it would be awkward. [09:09] SunTzu: it's...but for total beginner, i consider ubuntu is good choice [09:10] with what program can do sites without knowing HTML? [09:10] Personally, I have a netbook and use the desktop edition, but some people like the netbook one, apparently. [09:10] with what program can do sites without knowing HTML? [09:10] gour: And be sure to point him to Applications > Ubuntu Software Center at some point. [09:11] gour there's a (in)famous maxim i once read from a blogger years ago; ``when you learn Debian, Ubuntu, Knoppix, etal, etc, you learn the one you installed; when you Learn Slackware, you learn Linux.'' [09:11] Hi all. In BSD-style init, selected daemons can be initiated in background. Is there a similar implementation in ubuntu's SysV style init? (Or Upstart?)

I suggest you modify your attitude and quick. [09:25] * Gnea goes back to trying to get something to work in ubuntu desktop === akos is now known as Guest37108 [09:26] Hello, does anyone know how i can upgrade my wireless driver from ath5k to ath 9k ? [09:26] hello, i am new to ubuntu. what is the best way to install flash player for firefox on ubuntu 10.4, and will it be updated with the rest of the system with safe-upgrade? thanx [09:27] delby: install the "flashplugin-installer" package, and yes. [09:28] Hi Everyone! [09:28] rww: do i need to add lines in sources.list, or can i simply run 'aptitude flashplugin-installer' right after installation of ubuntu? [09:28] I'm new to Ubuntu (and Linux in general), and came across a problem today. I run the latest Netbook release [09:29] When in Netbook Gnome, Screensaver is disabled when watching videos, but not when I choose "Gnome" as desktop enviroment [09:29] rww: i meant aptitude install flushplugin-installer. [09:30] pff f [09:30] I use "Totem" as videoplayer in both Gnome Netbook and Gnome [09:30] delby, try it first without any edits [09:31] delby: you'd need to do "sudo aptitude update" first. If multiverse isn't enabled by default (I forget whether it is or not), you'd need to uncomment the relevant lines in sources.list before that [09:31] thanks. will do. [09:31] is there any problem if I just delete those package files? [09:32] Hello, I'm running out of space on my root /. I need to cleanup the disk to get some space. Clearing apt cache would gain a lot of space, right? how can i do it safely? [09:32] kasun: sudo apt-get clean [09:32] rww, ok, tnx === BlipInTheData is now known as BiTD|Install|Lin [09:34] SunTzu: do you use "+" for google search? [09:34] ogunay yes [09:34] ok thanks [09:34] meaning required search term [09:34] yvw === BiTD|Install|Lin is now known as BiTD|Instl|Linux [09:34] hi. I am running my home server on ubuntu 10.04. I would like to host several irc bots on it (for a good purpose). I on on a hostmasked irc server and I have 1 ip (which is from my ISP). As i am new to linux, how do I setup the bots using 1 IP address? Do I need third-party dns service? (freedns.afraid.org perhaps)? I have apache setup [09:35] #join ubuntu-my [09:36] demoneye: You should be able to run irc bots from your local server without much (if any) magic [09:36] mtjzr3: /j #ubuntu-my [09:36] will this sudo update-initramfs -u fix the splash ? [09:37] umm, the irc server has session limits 2 conns only. [09:37] demoneye: then talk to the irc server admins [09:37] if I changed my dns, will that do the trick? [09:38] i need a screen captureing program,for ubuntu 10.04 [09:38] Does anyone know of any program for Ubuntu that will crop a the pages in a multi-page PDF file? [09:38] hi, do you know what is that TCP : 162.56.215.222.broad.nj.sc.dynar [09:38] dustin: screenshots or video? [09:38] oaf google it [09:38] demoneye: What is telling you there is max two connections? [09:38] yes [09:38] like to record,fior how to do videos [09:39] ubottu: screencast | dustin [09:39] dustin: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [09:39] demoneye: it wasn't a yes-or-no question ;) [09:39] is there any good regex application for ubuntu? i just downloaded Kiki which is crap [09:39] Hi! When i click right click on panel i have only "help" and "about panels". Does anybody know how to add new panel? [09:39] soreau: who's on first :) [09:40] froschi: heh [09:40] something like.. hostmask: *@8BD2ED83.3D4C1575.339A3B20.IP [09:40] hostmask: *@77BG3BX7.3D4C1575.339A3B20.IP [09:40] aptitude search gives for output some packages starts with "v" what that "v" means? (these packages has no explanations also) [09:40] Istanbul, i have this but it crashes or hangs to much [09:40] demoneye: perhaps you could get better help in #frenode? [09:40] #freenode* [09:40] mats990: really? never seen that before. Any idea what happened? [09:41] ogunay: virtual package, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-virtual_pkg [09:41] rww: thank you so much [09:41] hi [09:41] ogunay: Try grepping the output of dpkg -l? [09:41] oCean_ i could make screenshot if you want.. i tried google it but found nothing useful [09:42] mats990: tried to reset the panels completely? gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [09:42] soreau: No packages found matching [09:42] Does anyone know how to use Pdfcrop? I can't get it to work. I put in "pdfcrop --papersize a4 sourcefile.pdf croppedfile.pdf" but the resultant file always ends up exactly the same page size but the file size increases. I don't know why. [09:42] what do I do, my ubuntu system cannot detect when my headset in plunged in or not, I have to manually activate it in "sound preferences", how do I fix this so its automatic? [09:43] isn't this got something to do with linux? as in, I need to change my dns or make some vhost? [09:43] ogunay: You have to grep it, like 'dpkg -l|grep [09:43] soreau: there isn't any output [09:43] demoneye: no, you can't change your DNS to get around connection limits. Go talk to the ircops of the server you're using. [09:43] oCean_ i didnt know about this, but i did it right now and nothing changed :( [09:43] Is there any other way to crop the page size of a PDF file other than pdfcrop? [09:43] soreau: i try it for a virtual package [09:44] ShapeShifter499: you could try telling pulseaudio to send the audio to both your normal output and your headphones [09:44] ogunay: You're probably better off with the suggestion/link rww made [09:44] ShapeShifter499: then when the headphone is plugged in it will have sound too (but so will the normal speakers) [09:44] rww, I tried that, they are all acting gayish [09:44] ShapeShifter499: normally this all is done in hardware instead of software afaik... I think you can report it as a bug here or there [09:44] Sjors: than whats the point of headphones [09:44] demoneye: 1) "Gay" is not a pejorative, please don't use it as one. 2) You're out of luck. [09:44] ShapeShifter499: good one [09:45] mats990: too bad. Since that's the way to reset "to factory defaults".. Actually i have no clue what could cause this. Any recent changes? [09:45] demoneye: Also, [09:45] ! work | demoneye [09:45] demoneye: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [09:46] how come when doing df -h it shows a certain % free space, yet i delete something, and its not instant before it changes the % [09:46] demoneye: even 'doesnt work' (in all it's vagueness) is better than 'gayish' which is highly undescriptive [09:46] oCean_ the problem is i dont know WHEN this happend... i didnt used it lately.. last things i installed is conky and i removed some old kernels, but this shuldnt have something with kernel... [09:46] soreau: considering that the word was applied to people, I assume that either they didn't do what he wanted, or propositioned him. Either way, we can't really help. [09:47] so my only option is to buy IPs? [09:47] rww: I immediately noticed it was the opposite of helpful, regardless of the context or content [09:48] demoneye: If the administrators of the server you're on don't want you connecting with more than two clients, then don't connect with more than two clients. [09:48] is Dazzle compatible with Linux? [09:49] of these two password examples which one can be hacked as a dictionary word. (1) marry had a little lamb (2) marryhadalittlelamb [09:49] mats990: agreed. It must be something in the gnome (-panel) config. But with previous command you reset it w/out result. (btw Those settings are saved in your homedir in ~/.gconf/apps/panel) [09:49] ubottu: ot | Phxdrought [09:49] Phxdrought: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:50] ok [09:50] oCean_: ok, thank you very much.. i'll try to do some googling and try to understand settings in my home to fix it === MSG_SALT is now known as MSG [09:52] mats990: Sure. Gnome has config options (somewhat similar to registry) You can see that yourself by starting "gconf-editor" (and in this case browse to apps > panel) [09:52] oCean_ hey i fixed it :D [09:52] mats990: wow [09:52] another thing. Is it possible I make a vhost on my IP (ISP IP address)? [09:52] via apache? [09:52] oCean_ google is my god :D http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [09:52] is Dazzle video capture device compatible with Linux? [09:53] oCean_ there is one line different and it deletes settings folder, as i can see [09:53] mats990: indeed [09:53] mats990: that's what did the trick probably [09:53] I did one via afraid.org, it points to my IP/apache website [09:54] oCean_ to tell you the truth im not happy that i have fixed it couse i dont know what couse probelm, i wish i had backuped that folder first :S [09:54] hi, could anyone tell me how to remove that little blue 'reboot required' icon from my tray without having to reboot right now? [09:54] but when I connect to an IRC server, my iP shows up, I want my hostname.com to show up [09:54] hey anyone know of a good screnrecording program for ubuntu 10.04 [09:55] dustin: gtk-recordmydesktop [09:55] mats990: I see. Maybe next time :s [09:55] demoneye: Do you have access to the rDNS PTR record for your IP address? If not (and if you're using a consumer ISP, you probably don't), you can't. [09:55] that doesnt crash or hang,something professional [09:55] oCean_ well i have to go, thanks once again for tring to help me. have a nice day, good bye [09:56] dustin: gtk-recordmydesktop has always worked fine for me [09:56] bourke: there's a file in /var/run called "restart-required" or something similar. delete it [09:57] rww: I don't think so I have access to that :( [09:57] I have no* [09:57] AdvoWork: what is the scenario. maybe: if you delete a file and some other program has a file open, the file will not show up anymore (ls), but it wont actually get deleted until the program closes it. [09:57] rww: got rid of it, but icon still there (tried restarting gnome-panel) [09:57] Hello there, i have a problem with installing the new kernel for lucid (2.6.32-24) [09:57] it produces errors [09:57] this is the output from apt [09:58] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LLw3gQ2P [09:58] BlackDex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:03] hello everyone [10:03] Turbolinux: it says that [10:03] farsight 1007 [10:03] robertzaccour: np. shows you your controllers [10:03] linux36: please stop [10:03] hi [10:03] Turbolinux: by running the "sudo nano /etc/sysfs.conf" command, you get an editor [10:03] 1007 [10:03] li bing ni da ye de [10:03] Turbolinux: in there, you have to paste the text (don't use ctrl+v, check the Edit menu of your terminal after copying it) [10:03] 1007 [10:03] 哈哈 [10:04] yy [10:04] Turbolinux: then make sure the lines are on separate lines in the file [10:04] 只用你还哦阿妈 解放卡宋江 [10:04] linux*: Please part the clones you've joined to this channel, now.

[10:04] sam_sam: A to B [10:04] ewook: it doesn't show anything [10:05] robertzaccour: skip the grep part [10:05] downloading a free-as-in-speech Linux distribution saves you so much money, thus so much work, that you can troll the #ubuntu channel with 10 clones! [10:05] victim of our own success! :< [10:05] ewook: robert@robert-laptop ~ $ lspci | usb [10:05] No command 'usb' found, did you mean: [10:05] Command 'sb' from package 'lrzsz' (universe) [10:05] usb: command not found [10:06] robertzaccour: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:06] I know but is it right when I copy the codes under ''Examples'' area on this file? I don't want to damage the operating system. [10:06] FloodBot1: that was 4 lines in a not very active chat hour [10:06] robertzaccour: sorry, remove all after the pipe :) so just lspci [10:07] Sjors: Can you help for my previous post? Thank you. [10:07] hello [10:08] Turbolinux: this is kind of advanced stuff for newbies, be cautious === fredrick is now known as frendah [10:08] Turbolinux: also - usually, for files like that, it doesn't really matter where you put the lines [10:08] Sjors: I am not a newbie but I am not sure. [10:08] ewook: so just lscpi |? [10:08] linux_: hello [10:08] I understand. [10:08] robertzaccour: no, just lspci [10:08] Turbolinux: as long as they are in the file and don't have a # at the first char of the line [10:09] how do I crop the page size of a pdf file? [10:10] Turbolinux: be sure to read the first comment for important pointers [10:10] ewook: http://pastebin.com/dWC3UvEy i'm not sure [10:10] Turbolinux: the ubuntu setup is to create a ##-------.conf file in /etc/sysctl.d/ using this type of form for setting "block.sda.queue.scheduler = noop", or you could put them (similar form) in /etc/sysctl.conf [ i don't think /etc/sysfs.conf will do anything in ubuntu ] [10:11] Sjors: I will do this. Thank you for your again. [10:11] as you can see my graphics card is crap though [10:11] Thune3: I understand. Thank you. [10:12] robertzaccour: lol. neither am I ... usually you'd get a more explanatory line like : 00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller [10:12] ewook: oh ok thanks anyhow [10:13] robertzaccour: if you know your motherboard, check the homepage for it :) [10:13] ewook: the laptop was new february of last year. would that help? [10:13] robertzaccour: it's probably USB 2, then [10:13] robertzaccour: oh, then it should have it :) [10:13] oh ok thanks [10:13] robertzaccour: usb 2.0 have been around a while :) [10:13] robertzaccour: np [10:14] so good [10:14] gong: hi, do you have a question?

Movie Player gives me permission errors, and I dont want to mess up the dvds by playing with Permissions for Winblows or my DVD player.. and ideas? [10:15] qq [10:15] i am from china [10:15] gong: whats qq? [10:16] just like msn [10:16] qq ， widely used in China. [10:16] Lcawte: I use VLC. You probably also need to install libdvdcss2, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [10:16] yes [10:16] vlc player [10:16] Is there a way to install ubuntu without alot of the preinstalled packages such as Firefox, the Games, OpenOffice so that I dont have to remove them after each install? [10:16] oh ok [10:16] gong: xchat is nice huh :) [10:17] Lcawte: i use movie player as well..just install restricted-extras and libdvdcss 2 [10:17] plz help to rectify the foll error on ubuntu mysql server :ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [10:17] i just use it right now [10:17] c00lryguy, you might try ubuntu server install [10:17] robertzaccour, gong this is technical support only. Social chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:17] anyone here know how to use dvd::rip? [10:17] i need some time to feel it [10:18] gong: try a social chat channel, not this support channel please [10:18] oCean_: quick chatter in a slow moving chat but get the point [10:18] sinistrad, doesnt that have a bunch of unnecessary packages installed for a desktop install? [10:18] sinistrad, c00lryguy: Ubuntu Server is for servers. Generally one would use the alternate CD for minimal installs. [10:18] c00lryguy, you'll need to install a desktop package afterwards if you want a GUI [10:18] what [10:18] gong: this channel is not for chat [10:18] how to do that [10:18] gong: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic [10:18] plz help to rectify the foll error on ubuntu mysql server :ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [10:19] c00lryguy, go with what rww says. He probably knows [10:19] gong: i normally chat in #club-ubuntu its more of an everything chat haha to say the least [10:19] why would the wifi on my dell mini 10v not show networks? it works in other OSes on the same machine. I'm on 10.04 netbook remix [10:19] !ubot [10:20] Gm4n: you need to install the bcmwl-kernel-source package. If you have internet access through ethernet, just use your favorite package manager. If not, let me know and I'll get you offline instructions. [10:20] !minimalcd [10:20] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:20] =D [10:20] hi. i created a new user, but he can't use sudo, because "he is not in the sudoers file". another user with working sudo isn't mentioned in /etc/sudoers either. how does it work? [10:20] !alternate [10:20] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [10:20] rww: is apt-get a reasonable favorite? (I'm a debian user) [10:20] I should prolly go with the minimal one.. sounds likst just what I need [10:20] Gm4n: Yup. sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source would work fine [10:21] What is the name of the package of ''Hardware Information'' software. [10:21] ? [10:21] c00lryguy: The minimal CD is just the alternate one with no packages on it (you need to download from the internet during installation, which can be a pain if you have odd hardware) [10:21] they have the same installation options [10:21] Hey folks. When I turn on my computer I get "error: no such device: 5f7dd196-623c-4864-87be-5a219dea81c8" message and a "grub rescue>" prompt. Help!

[10:26] aibo: maybe you/updates have changed the policy [10:26] maybe [10:26] Ikonia: I asked as a previous post. [10:27] Turbolinux: please summuserise as your last log shows a lot of chat [10:27] ikonia: 02:21:22 < Turbolinux> What is the name of the package of ''Hardware Information'' software. === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:27] hardware information software ? [10:27] I believe the stuff before that was dealt with [10:28] I have two keyboard layouts: (1) USA and (2) Germany. Unfortunately, whenever I login, Germany is my default layout, although I want USA and that is higher in the list. Any ideas on how to fix this? Could the login screen keyboard layout (most probably Germany) have something to do with this? [10:28] Yes. [10:28] When I turn on my computer I get "error: no such device: 5f7dd196-623c-4864-87be-5a219dea81c8" message and a "grub rescue>" prompt. It doesn't boot and I don't know what to do with that prompt. Can anyone help me? [10:28] Turbolinux: hwinfo [10:28] Miromiro: Is it graphical? [10:29] Turbolinux: no [10:29] yerushalmi. it's a UUID. look for a google to boot from grub rescue, and run sudo update-grub when you get up and running. [10:29] Miromiro: Why did you send a command to me also? [10:29] Turbolinux: n00b to irc - sorry [10:29] jukebox-zero_: I'm afraid I'm very new to Ubuntu. What's a UUID? [10:29] Miromiro: No problem. === elin_ is now known as Minkben [10:30] Hello, I'm trying to fix a flash-player missing sound problem of a friend of mine [10:30] yerushalmi basically it's an unecessary long name for your harddisk. When grub goes to start your system, it looks for your hard drive using that, but for some reason isn't recognizing it. [10:30] Do you know anything on how to run the command: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 # Flash expects /tmp/.esd/socket to exist. sudo mkdir -p /tmp/.esd/ sudo touch /tmp/.esd/socket [10:31] please help to rectify the following error on ubuntu mysql server :ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2). mysql worked properly after installation .. but is showing the error upon boot up. [10:31] what's the pastebin addy? [10:31] I remember there is a graphical hardware information viewer. It's strange. [10:31] !pastebin | jukebox-zero_ [10:31] jukebox-zero_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [10:31] jukebox-zero_: The hard drive upon which Ubuntu is installed is actually an SDHC card; I use my internal hard drive as a swap partition. [10:31] as a solution to the problem: "# Flash also looks for /usr/lib/libesd.so.1" [10:32] yershalmi hmm. i see. [10:32] jukebox-zero_: Could there be a hardware problem with the card? That's my biggest fear. [10:32] äé [10:32] "éøåùìîé?" [10:32] Software problem would be less... problematic... because then I could just put the card in another computer copy everything I needed and reinstall ubuntu. I don't have anything irreplaceable. [10:33] Ikonia: Isn't there any graphical hardware information viewer? I remember there was one software. [10:33] Can anybody reply my issu, please? [10:33] Megaviv: english only in this channel [10:33] I know [10:33] I just tried to test whether Yerushlami also lives in Israel [10:33] onilmaurya: that error means the mysql server is not running. The startup must have failed [10:33] Turbolinux: there could be, I'm not aware of one of the top of my head [10:34] Megaviv: Aha! I do, yes, but your text only came out as random vowels with chupchikim on top. [10:34] I guess this computer doesn't support it in the chat. Which is very strange, I must say. [10:34] hi. i renamed a user and his encrypted home directory, but he can't decrypt it anymore. any idea on the reason? where are the keys for the encrypted home directories stored? [10:34] Yerushalmi: Megaviv didn't encode it properly, so most people probably didn't see it [10:34] OK, that makes sense. So, I'll repeat the issue know, in hope you have a fitting solution. [10:35] I'm trying to remember the name of Gnome Media Player -- Totem isn't what I'm looking for. Something minimal. I used it once. (I know there is VLC too). ;o [10:35] envyG: mplayer? [10:36] yerushalmi is this a pc or a notebook or a netbook or what? [10:36] envyG: https://launchpad.net/gnome-media-player -> this one? [10:36] jukebox-zero_: Netbook. [10:36] That's what Flash claims: # Flash also looks for /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 and as I understood the solution is to run the command: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 How do I do that, then? [10:36] Yerushalmi, rww: That's the link. [10:36] ikonia, now with apparmor switched OFF connection to 22 port being refused.. ( [10:37] hey I am a noob and it has been a while since I last used irc [10:37] Hey! rww, I remember you, you tried helping me a few weeks ago with Ubuntu installation! [10:37] bro.. how can i join to indonesia? [10:37] yerushalmi, when you did the install do you remember what the grub install called it vaguely I mean? [10:37] envyG: It looks like it's not in Ubuntu before 10.10, so you'll need to use the PPA link on that page [10:37] aibo: ok, so look at your ssh process and logs [10:37] ikonia, it's working [10:37] aibo: you just said it wasn't [10:37] yerushalmi like sdc1 or something similar? [10:37] I registered to a chat but I can't write the /msg NickServ IDENTIFY comand corect [10:37] demonzenemy: /join #ubuntu-id [10:37] Any suggestion on how to run the aforementioned "sudo" sommand? [10:37] azorius: nickserv help in #freenode [10:37] hi everyone, i need to install fsck 1.1 or higger, on my ubuntu server 10.04, its needed one tcl script in my eggdrop. I trying google for more than two hour, but i cant anything. Can anyone help me, how i can install and run it? thx [10:37] *command [10:37] ikonia, sshd working, but I can't connect to it through network [10:38] rww: thx [10:38] rww: I'll be safe than sorry. Vlc it is. I think gmp is awesome and minimal -- but shame. SHAME! I tell you. :( [10:38] jukebox-zero_: Mmm. I'm trying to remember. I'm pretty certain sdb1. [10:38] thanks [10:38] aibo: then how do you know it's working ? [10:38] aibo: if you can't connec tto it...... [10:38] locally [10:38] jukebox-zero_: sda is likely my internal hd, I assigned the entire thing as swap, and sdb therefore is my external disk, which I assigned as an ext# of some kind. [10:38] aibo: ok, so look at the logs, to see if your connections are actually hitting the ssh damon [10:38] okay, the instructions i'm gonna post are what I remember for harddisks but if your notebook supports booting from SDHC don't see why it wouldn't work. [10:39] I'm fairly certain. If it did it sensibly and didn't skip a letter for no reason :p [10:39] jukebox-zero_: Awesome, thanks [10:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/469248/ in your case replace hdX,Y with what you remember. [10:39] Does anybody have any idea how to run a sudo command, it's for solving some flash player missing sound problem on Win 7 of a friend of mine. [10:40] ikonia, which logs? [10:40] Megaviv: open the terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and put it in there? [10:40] if anyone more advanced than me wants to take a look at that I'd appreciate it. Rusty on this one. [10:40] aibo: the sshd security logs and syslog [10:40] What should go in setprefix and setroot? [10:40] My external hard disk? [10:40] i.e. my boot drive? [10:41] hello [10:41] yerushalmi ls should pop up some choices for you. pick the one that looks familar [10:42] The choices were (hd0), (hd0,1), (hd1), and (hd1,1). No sd(a/b/c) [10:42] just for you [10:42] hmm hd0,1 is probably your hard disk. so with it being an sdhc card I'm not sure. Do you have more than one partition on your harddisk? [10:43] jukebox-zero_: Nope. [10:43] yerushalmi than I would try hd1,1 [10:43] Interestingly, when typing "set" it gives me "prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub" and "root=hd0,1" regardless of what I had typed [10:44] bro.. i have vivotek ip camera ip7330 but i can not recording. How can i do that? [10:44] In any case, I've tried both (hd0,1) and (hd1,1) for both, and then the next step - ls /boot - gives me the error "unknown filesystem" [10:45] how do I decrease the run lvl in ubuntu? [10:45] i have a question about the appearance preferences in gnome: i am using an image from my camera. it removes crops about 15% of the image around the outside. no matter how small i make the image, it still crops, and then expands it to fill my screen. anybody ever heard of this? [10:46] ciao [10:46] azorius, ubuntu doesn't use run levels [10:46] Yerushalmi, honestly I'm a little boggled. Never did like the grub recovery, and I've never attempted to boot from anything other than my primary HD. What I would suggest from here if it were me is to download and burn the super grub boot disk and pick the option that says find any grub.conf file even if mbr is overwritten. it won't fix the problem, but it will let you get to your data. === zz_thyri0n is now known as thyri0n [10:47] the problem is this: my graphic card is not supportet so I have to compile a driver from source code from nividias webpage...and according to their guid I need to decrease my runlvl to 3 or atleast quit X so no graphic drivers are "mountet" [10:48] ikonia, nothing in syslog/auth.log [10:48] blitzo I am a noob so I have no clue how to fix your image issue [10:48] aibo: that suggests something is blocking it, either firewall on box or something at a network level [10:48] azorius, that said, i don't really understand what they replaced it with. it's called upstart. there's a man page and a website at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [10:49] ok thanks! [10:50] <`john_> I'm using lxpanel, and I can't seem to get it to recognize my exported PATH from .bashrc after I relogin. If I restart lxpanel, it will recognize my PATH. Somebody said I messed up my shell initialization somehow. What exactly is wrong? [10:50] azorius, so you need to start in text mode so you can test the driver === simey00irc is now known as ga === ga is now known as gc === gc is now known as gd === gd is now known as ge === ge is now known as gf [10:50] azorius, that is the question you need to ask here and i [10:51] yep I need to start in text mode I guess :) [10:51] jukebox-zero_: I decided to try booting up from my installation USB drive [10:51] azorius, that is the question you need to ask and I'm afraid someone else will have to answer it [10:51] hi guys, what package to install the cvs client only please? :) === lit3l is now known as litel [10:51] jukebox-zero_: When opening up BIOS to tell it to boot from that drive, I found out that for some reason it was set to boot from the internal hard disk === gf is now known as gn [10:51] ikonia, apparmor deinstalled, iptables has no rules [10:51] jukebox-zero_: Which is bizarre because it wasn't set that way THIS MORNING === gn is now known as simey00irc [10:51] jukebox-zero_: I changed the setting to tell it to boot from the flash drive and voila, it works. [10:52] aibo: must be network level then [10:52] ... I'm quite honestly flabbergasted at this point but, hey, if it works... [10:52] azorius, ask "how to do i boot to text mode so X doesn't start" [10:52] aibo: not using tcpwrappers are you [10:52] how to do i boot to text mode so X doesn't start? [10:52] jukebox-zero_: Thanks for all the help, though :) Now we both know how to solve this problem if it comes up again. [10:52] back to rww: in response to your suggestions, I should state two facts: the first is that the problem I'm trying to solve is my friend's who has Win 7 and not any UNIX based OS. Secondly, I tried running this command myself in the cmd of my Win 7, but it didn't even recognize it... I'll retry it, this time differently, according to a new idea popping into my mind, but it doesn't sound promising. [10:52] Hey guys, this probably isnt the place for it, but i figure someone here would have experience, i've just fresh installed 10.04, its working great, im currently playing around with wine and some steam games. I got alien swarm working first shot, fantastic, im wrapped, however l4d2 , another source game, crashes as soon as i finish loading, so as im entering games, any quick tips anyone can think of that might help [10:52] azorius, you may have to ask several times [10:53] yerushalmi, heh glad it's fixed. [10:53] azorius: add "text" to the grub-cmdline at boottime === simey00irc is now known as gj [10:53] ikonia, hah, when I am trying to connect to localhost using 'ssh localhost' it says openssh-client is not installed, but when i do 'apt-get install openssh-client' it says NEWEST VERSION [10:53] wtf? [10:53] llutz tell him how to do that, he is a noob [10:53] (afk wife talking to me on phone) [10:54] Anybody got Acer laptop/netbook and has problems with wireless card i.e. downloaded files corruption - please ping me. [10:54] Is there a Fedora'esque version of ubuntu, that will install everything automatically.. eg. svn and git etc.. [10:54] jukebox-zero_: That was really weird, I must say. I can't imagine what would cause that. Maybe I somehow accidentally pressed against the flash drive and ejected it just before I booted it up? And for some reason BIOS took that permanently? I'm really confused but just glad it's working. Thanks :) [10:54] aibo: do "sudo find / -name ssh -print [10:54] Or some package that contains all as dummy dependencies.. [10:54] also, if , when ubuntu loads, i log in instantly (as in , dont wait long at the login prompt) i get some error about waiting for power management it asks me to lock screen/cancel/log out, no matter which i choose, it basically locks up, i need to reboot at this point [10:54] yessir_turan, what are svn and git [10:55] blitzo: version control systems [10:55] What should I write to for mini.iso Network Console with Norwegian language [10:55] blitzo: Not just them, but everything.. like thunderbird, and all other stuff. [10:55] it seems that fedora has it ALL. [10:55] already. [10:55] Have a good rest-of-day-or-night, folks. [10:56] Can anyone help me patch isolinux.cfg for Network Console [10:56] ikonia, no ssh binaries found, how can it be? [10:57] aibo: uninstall the package, and re-install it [10:57] aibo: sounds like you've messed up your box [10:57] I have a Lenovo T61 running Ubuntu 10.04. The cursor is no longer responding to activity on the touchpad. However, touchpad activity results in output from /dev/psaux. gpointing-device-settings shows that the touchpad is on, and using that application to turn it off and then back on does not fix the problem. Rebooting has not fixed the problem. Is there anything else I should try? [10:57] ikonia, possibly apparmor did it [10:57] yessir_turan, most of that stuff automatically loads. fedora lets you select which groups of packages you might want, ubuntu just gives yoyu a bunch of stuff and then you have to d/l what extra you want later [10:57] aibo: appamor doesn't delete binaries [10:57] ikonia, me too [10:58] Okay -- A simple question. How can I get nm-applet notification? Clean non-Desktop installation and I'm stumbled at this moment. I could sworn it worked fine on other machines. [10:58] yessir_turan, but if you know the pkg names you can put them all on one command line === petur is now known as Guest62086 [10:58] yessir_turan, and yes it is a hassle [10:58] hi! i want to find all the links in my tree structure, how do i write that commnad? [10:59] Guys i have an issue, when ubuntu loads, if i log in instantly (as in , dont wait long at the login prompt) i get some error about waiting for power management it asks me to lock screen/cancel/log out, no matter which i choose, it basically locks up, i need to reboot at this point [10:59] hi. I will have to transfer my hdd to another model of the same brand laptop. what are the odds my ubuntu installation doesn't work on that? [10:59] Guest62086, i think there is an option to find, see the man page [10:59] Guest62086: find -type l [10:59] yessir_turan: there are some metapackages in ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages, I don't know if there is any containing the packages you require [10:59] Oh, also, regarding the touchpad issue, the buttons associated with the touchpad don't work now, either. [11:00] Kartagis: with a bit of fine tuning it will be fine I'm sure [11:00] froschi, THANKS! :) [11:00] well_laid_lawn fine tuning how? [11:01] Kartagis, if that has different video board then it will may require some minor reconfiguration, i did AMD/Ati to Intel/nVidia transition by swapping the drives and had no issues, since all drivers are already installed [11:01] rye what about the ethernet card? [11:01] Kartagis, possible items: video card, network assignment (but with network-manager nobody cares today) [11:01] my memory limit in php.ini is 110MB but i get PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 21909 bytes) in /usr/share/php/data/propel_generator/lib/build/om/PHP5PeerBuilder.php on line 2084 when i try to run propel-gen om [11:02] what can be wrong with my configuration [11:02] Kartagis: what rye said :] [11:02] rye well_laid_lawn thanks [11:02] Kartagis, network-manager will handle that for you [11:02] rye you mean the driver and all?

I've already tried some of the solutions found on the forum, but those doesn't seem to help [11:34] gazzzmoly, this is the "ubuntu way" ,another way is to find in nvidia.com [11:35] i want these nvidia vdpau team ppa [11:35] https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [11:35] dont know how to install tham [11:36] dreamx, are you being logged out after you try to log in via gdm?

[11:37] it assumes you know linux which i dont [11:37] ... [11:37] dreamx, are you able to log in to ssh and pastebin your ~/.xsession-errors log file - something appears to crash the session [11:37] gazzzmoly, it assumes you can read english. [11:38] gazzzmoly, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [11:38] aguitel, stop giving bad advice please [11:39] ? [11:39] rye, I'm rebooting the machine, I'll paste .xsession-errors asap [11:39] gazzzmoly, read the section on that page you linked very carefully ... read the section titled "Adding this PPA to your system" [11:39] dreamx, basically you will need last 10-20 lines [11:39] is it possible to disable spell check for specific languages? [11:39] Folks, I'm looking for a hand with a VirtualBox problem. Am I in the right place or can anyone point me to the right channel [11:40] mick_, not before seeing the aactul question [11:40] actual* [11:40] gazzzmoly, are you using a netbook (a hp mini 311 by chance ) ? [11:40] rye, I can't believe it... somehow .profile was corrupted and made everything go nuts [11:40] no a revo [11:40] a nettop [11:40] rye, thanks for your help anyway :) [11:40] dreamx, so you removed .profile and logged in successfully, right? [11:41] gazzzmoly, are you reading that section ? [11:41] rye, yep [11:41] yeah [11:41] gryllida, OK, I've got a Virtual disk of 60Gb however the Actual size is 6.99Gb. I keep getting a warning that I'm running out of disk space even though the dynamically expanding storage should have the possibility of storing another 53Gb [11:41] gazzzmoly, click that link "Read About Installing" [11:41] mick_, what VM is that? [11:42] dreamx, okay, that's nice to know there is one more place to look for issues. apart from ~/.config, .gconf... etc.. and, you are welcome :) [11:42] I'd guess windows xp on VB [11:42] It's a Ubuntu Host with a Windows VM [11:42] mick_, is the vm named "windows vm"? [11:43] gryllida, It's named Windows XP VM [11:43] ok [11:43] hey all. I have a question for ldap, but since #ldap is pretty dead perhabs somehow here can help me out. I got a ldap server running on my 10.04 server. when trying to add a file.ldif I have authentication problems..possibly due to not knowing which password is the right one for what etc. when I use "ldapadd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=ubuntusrv,dc=local" -f file.ldif -W" I always geht insufficient acces (50) or invalid credentials (49) [11:43] mick_: Does windows see 7 gigs or 60 gigs through mycomputer? [11:43] rye, yes it's nice to know... anyway I think my system has some other problems too, since one of the things I tried was creating a new user (with no .profile of course) and it was giving me problems too [11:43] mick_: They're asking for the virtual machine application, not the actual virtual machine. [11:43] dreamx, what type of issues? [11:43] io: He answered. It is virtual box [11:43] TheEskimo, it only sees 7Gb when it's running however VBox reports a virtual disk of 60Gb [11:44] mick_: "Windows Virtual PC"? [11:44] anybody know program that tell you processor temperature ? [11:44] mick_: "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine"? [11:44] karlo: sensors [11:44] tnx [11:44] !lmsensors | karlo [11:44] karlo: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [11:44] karlo, sensors applet for the gnome panel [11:44] rye, seemed like permissions weren't set right (I could log in via gdm but some errors like "Cannot update ICEauthority" or "There is a problem with the configuration server") [11:44] airtonix i get a gpg error [11:44] TheEskimo: He never said VB? [11:44] mick_: Is it possible you did not partition it correctly when you installed xp? Maybe it is not all partitioned to ntfs and the remainder is only free space. Can you open windows disk manager and check? (right click my computer, manage) [11:44] gryllida, Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I'm using Oracle VirtualBox v3.2.6 r63112 [11:44] io: Yes he did. Look up [11:45] gazzzmoly, not your fault. gpg server proly overloaded or down at the moment [11:45] now what do i do [11:45] TheEskimo, Yeah I was wthinking that. I'm going to run GParted on it now to see if I can resize [11:45] dreamx, so is there anything left to fix? [11:45] gazzzmoly, well you can continue and install anyway, or wait for gpg key so you can be sure the software you are downloading hasn't changed since it was uploaded to the server [11:45] got the key now what [11:45] mick_: The correct way to check would be through windows disk manager first. I don't think gparted supports working on whatever format the vbs dynamic images are in [11:46] rye, not at the moment, thanks again for your time [11:46] gazzzmoly, keep rading that page [11:46] reading [11:46] ok [11:46] mick_: /join #virtualbox [11:46] whats launchpad [11:46] gazzzmoly, that link you clicked on that page should have presented you with a pop up box of information (step by step on how to add a ppa repo and install from it) [11:46] mick_: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox , virtualbox.org ) [11:47] !launchpad | gazzzmoly [11:47] gazzzmoly: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [11:47] TheEskimo, Gparted is seeing a ntfs drive of 60Gb in size ... [11:47] mick_: I think you should, as others suggested, /join #virtualbox [11:47] mick_: same as #vbox [11:48] gryllida, thanks, I'll check out that channel [11:48] :) [11:48] best of luck [11:49] how do i get pipe [11:49] hi, how do i share a folder for windows? [11:49] otswim, right click it, select sharing options [11:50] gazzzmoly, why do you need pipe ? [11:50] i'm on KDE and 'configure sharing' does nothing :( === root is now known as Guest13694 [11:50] was that not a command you sent me? [11:50] hi ! [11:51] otswim, we assume you are using ubuntu 10.04 here, join #kubuntu for kde ubuntu help [11:51] do I need any anti-virus ? (I think not, but I wanna be sure) [11:51] can anyone tell me if vsftpd support virtual users quota ?: [11:51] I'm looking for a lightweight NCURSES bases audiplayer which supports all current formats, is popular, supports streaming [11:51] gazzzmoly, no. [11:51] ok, thanks [11:51] karlo: In general you only need antivirus if you share lots of files with windows computers for the windows computer's protection. You can use clamav for that [11:51] hey [11:52] airtronix i added the repo now how do install [11:52] ok [11:52] karlo: But unlesss you are sharing files often, no, you do not need any av [11:52] gazzzmoly, did you run : sudo apt-get update [11:52] ty [11:52] yep [11:52] not sure what i should do. trying to get transmission to recognize port 51413. should i do this via firewall or router? [11:53] failed to fetch [11:53] siddhion: You need to forward the port on your router [11:53] siddhion: See http://portforward.com [11:53] I'm having some DNS configuration issues. My DNS servers are being set to the right ones for the network, and dig, nslookup, host, etc. all seem to be using them, but names assigned by the local DNS server are not resolving in other commands: ssh, ping, web browsers, etc. The root issue seems to be that gethostbyname is returning the wrong answer, but I can't figure out why. [11:53] airtronix: yes i get an error [11:53] gazzzmoly, are you using lucid (because that repo doesn't actually have any packages for lucid) [11:53] airtronix is that the new version [11:54] airtronix: i think i maybe using lucid [11:54] TheEskimo, ok I am in my router settings. Portforward does not have a guide for my router BTW. [11:54] oCean_: Thx for that post... It worked like a charm :). [11:54] ffmpeg does not recognised libmp3lame encoder [11:55] i have added 51413 to the start and end port range [11:55] siddhion: Good. Did that resolve the problem? [11:55] I need some help here. 10.04 won't shut down. Its just going to a login screen. I can log back in, but when I select restart or shutdown it just goes to the login screen. [11:55] gazzzmoly, you need to be sure about what version of ubuntu you are using === TREllis_ is now known as TREllis [11:56] anyone here uses Empathy? when I add a new contact to my msn list, the list won't update [11:56] i downloaded last night [11:56] TheEskimo, actually no. strange [11:56] from ubuntu [11:56] gazzzmoly, system > about ubuntu [11:57] siddhion: you didn't describe the problem in much detail in the first place. Can you do that now? (also, to verify the port is forwarded correctly you can go to any of a number of sites to test) [11:57] I need some help here. 10.04 won't shut down. [11:57] tuntun, shutdown from the login screen [11:58] TheEskimo, in my router settings under Current Port Forwarding Table under Local IP address I have put the address I get from running 'ifconfig' [11:58] airtonix, tried to, it doesn't do anything. [11:58] siddhion: To check if that port is open you can use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ [11:58] question: can i set a disk quota for a particular folder ? for example, i have xxx directory and i want that particular directory to permit 30 MB of data [11:58] tuntun, press ctrl alt delete a few times, wait for it to reboot and then try again [11:58] TheEskimo, i use the 7 digit address next to 'inet addr:' [11:59] Hi, I'm trying to get lucid on my dell poweredge sc420, it does, however, not boot from the cd??? are there any particulair prereqs for such a dell box to install? === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 [11:59] siddhion: It should have been in the format of 192.*.*.* or 10.*.*.* I believe. [12:00] TheEskimo, on canyouseeme.org it says my IP address is somethign different then what I get when I do 'ifconfig' in terminal [12:00] airtonix, still not doing anything. [12:00] airtronix: that just pops up a browser window [12:00] siddhion: The difference is your local ip vs your actual ip. Please disregard that. The router wanted your local ip, not that one. [12:00] TheEskimo, also, it says that it can not see my service on my IP address on port 51413 [12:01] airtronix: [12:01] siddhion: In that case the port was not properly forwarded. Can you tell me what model your router is? [12:01] airtronix: sorry small writeing big screen lol i am using 10.4 [12:01] airtronix: lucid [12:01] TheEskimo, ok then it should be correct because the IP address I gave my router starts with a 192 [12:02] airtronix: i added that ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates repo [12:02] gazzzmoly, ok so if you look at that launchpad screen you had open previously and press ctrl + f then type lucid. [12:02] TheEskimo, my router model is a Techniclan WAR-54G http://www.techniclan.com/WAR-54G_WLAN_broadband_802.11g_AP_Router_QoS,p,88.html [12:02] gazzzmoly, you'll notice that it mentions to read another page. [12:02] airtronix i am using terminal [12:02] Has anyone had 10.04 refuse to shut down? [12:02] airtronix:you ean webpage [12:03] gazzzmoly, yes i mean a webpage. [12:03] gazzzmoly, https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [12:03] gazzzmoly, read the page [12:03] airtronix: lol sorry im a newb ok i am there [12:03] Hello Ubuntu ;) [12:04] siddhion: I'm afraid I can't provide more help. I hope someone else can help you. [12:04] siddhion, have you tried to go to www.ping.eu and test if the port is open on your router? [12:04] airtronix: you mean click the link for lucid ? [12:04] TheEskimo, ok thanks [12:04] join cedega [12:04] gazzzmoly, it has a link there yes... [12:04] siddhion, basically there's a few steps to routing traffic within your LAN [12:04] mick_: he already tested that using canyouseeme.org and it was not open. [12:04] what is the name of the password wallet program? [12:04] airtronix: i did that and updated the repo and i typed sudo apt-get update [12:04] does anyone use cedega? it says it supports X-Com Apocalypse.. I want to try it [12:05] hello I need help with kubuntu ... where can I get a C compiler? [12:05] gazzzmoly, no. [12:05] mick_, ok. i am all ears. I am at ping.eu too [12:05] I'm trying to add msn account to empathy, but it requires some wallet account pw [12:05] gazzzmoly, stop and read that page : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [12:05] TheEskimo, sorry, didn't see that! [12:06] I mean keyring [12:06] airtronix: i followed that page and added th ppa:ubuntu-x [12:06] mick_, jsut tested my port with Port Check and it comes back closed [12:06] siddhion, OK, first of all you need to make sure that your local machine has the port open. I usually use a tool called nmap. You can do nmap 127.0.0.1 that will tell you all the ports open on your local machine [12:06] then? [12:06] ho bisogno di aiuto [12:07] I need help [12:07] I need some help here. 10.04 won't shut down. [12:07] siddhion, if you don't have nmap then you can install it by running sudo apt-get install nmap [12:07] Guys , in Empathy .. the Arabic language is up side down .. any idea why is that ! [12:07] siddhion, can you post the results of the nmap scan [12:08] mick_, thanks. installed it and ran command. my results are: [12:08] mick_, Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-07-26 13:08 CEST [12:08] Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): [12:08] Not shown: 999 closed ports [12:08] PORT STATE SERVICE [12:08] 631/tcp open ipp [12:08] siddhion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

You did not actually scan it. notice it only checked 1000 when it is in the 50000s, See too mick_ [12:11] i have a problem on boot [12:11] TheEskimo, didn't spot that ... cheers [12:11] hi - I am having problems changing the ulimit on my system - everytime I change it in: limits.conf [12:11] naxil, be specific, keep it on one line. [12:11] is all ok in fstab [12:11] mick_, right. TheEskimo but i put in the START and END port numbers as 51413 in my router port forwarding setting [12:11] ok [12:12] and common-session ... when I unlimit -n [12:12] always comes back with 1024 - anyone any idea how I sort this?

[12:12] any help would be greatly appreciated. [12:12] siddhion: Yes. That is correct. That is what I am saying. nmap did not scan that port. [12:12] my sistem go on initramfs and !alert dev/uu-id does not exist [12:12] siddhion, try nmap -p (port number) 127.0.0.1 [12:12] hi, anyone on: http://pastebin.com/W2GNzuVC [12:12] after 5 min ubuntu start [12:13] siddhion, nmap -p 51413 127.0.0.1 | pastebinit [12:13] gazzzmoly, run : sudo apt-get update [12:13] mick_, thanks. http://pastebin.com/yY4Dahbs [12:14] siddhion, OK, that's fine at least we know that your local box is listening on that port. The next step is to configure your router to point all incoming traffic on that post to your local machine. [12:15] siddhion: This result shows that it is quite likely that the port is not properly forwarded. Cna you screenshot the router configuration page where you made the change before? [12:15] hallo ppl i need small help [12:15] totally ot question - joined a channel and whenever i type it says "cannot send to channel" what am i doing wrong? [12:15] siddhion, in the terminal do an ifconfig to find the IP address of your PC on the LAN [12:15] oi [12:15] i did install the ubuntu unity and i removed [12:16] siddhion, as TheEskimo rightly said, it sounds as though the port is not being forwarded properly from your router to your local box [12:16] What's the easiest way to browse the web using Tor on Ubuntu? Is there perhaps a separate web browser I can install that by default is configured to use Tor? Or a package that installs and configures everything needed automatically? (I only need to for web browsing, not chatting, e-mails etc.) [12:16] I need some help here. 10.04 won't shut down. Its just going to a login screen. I can log back in, but when I select restart or shutdown it just goes to the login screen. [12:16] but the clock still not removed and now i got 2 clock interface [12:16] airtronix:http://pastebin.com/8dfrPr7Kom/8dfrpr7k [12:16] help [12:16] não tou entendendo nadan aqui [12:16] Blitzo, ask on #freenode [12:16] how do i remove the indicator-datetime clock [12:16] any one [12:17] oiiiiiiiiiii fala português [12:17] mick_, TheEskimo ok trying to get that screenshot to you [12:18] hey vlc player is giving jiddery audio,after installing libdvdcss2 [12:18] siddhion, you don't have a firewall installed on your machine do you? [12:18] mick_: since the port is shown as open locally that no longer is of any issue even if he does [12:18] 10.04 refused to shut down. Logged back in and then used 'reboot' from the command line, finally rebooted it, and when it restarted I could shut down normally. [12:19] you need a firewall for ubuntu??? [12:19] dustin: no [12:19] TheEskimo, it actually does make a difference, the port could be open but the firewall will block access to it from the outside [12:19] mick_, i do but disablled it because i have NAT router [12:20] siddhion, OK, once you're sure that it's fully disabled [12:20] hi. my laptop keyboard and touchpad werent working. i found the solution. it was to add i8042.reset in the kernel line of grub.cfg but the problem is that the grub.cfg file get over written on kernel updates. is there any long term solution? [12:20] LateBoy: firefox has a tor plugin, do some googling [12:20] i mean like i got ppl the watch porn like my bother when im not home, does it help to have it any ways? [12:20] LateBoy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2275/ [12:21] dustin: let's keep it family friendly in here, thanks. [12:21] dustin:It only helps if you are hosting web related services. [12:22] dustin: In general, your router already prevents access to any ports on your computer. Even if that is not the case, the port will not be accessable unless you run a program to specifically open it up. I would not worry. [12:22] sorry if i offened but i really need him to stop, cuz it seems to slow my system down, [12:23] How can I increase the number of loop devices? [12:23] mick_, TheEskimo here is the screen shot of my router port forwarding settings http://picasaweb.google.com/104531327405618516468/PortForwarding#5498173788809063618 [12:23] dustin, if you have access to the router admin page then you could sign up for an OpenDNS account and add those DNS settings into your router bloacking access to any offensive sites [12:23] or i must kick him off and i dont want to tell my mom about it or else [12:24] HELP! [12:24] dustin: If you lock your computer and have a good password that should be enough to keep him from it. [12:24] siddhion, can you give me a screenshot of the firewall settings of your router === Jonathan is now known as KyubyLingus [12:24] HELP! [12:24] mick_, ok one moment [12:25] papul_ ask your question [12:25] he "had" his own account [12:25] caris_mere, hi. my laptop keyboard and touchpad werent working. i found the solution. it was to add i8042.reset in the kernel line of grub.cfg but the problem is that the grub.cfg file get over written on kernel updates. is there any long term solution? [12:25] caris_mere, i have asked it [12:25] and thanks yall [12:25] hi papul having any luck [12:26] papul_ can you add changes to /etc/default/grub ? [12:26] mm and about that open dns?what is?

[12:27] in that file [12:27] siddhion, what do you mean? [12:27] caris_mere: papul needs to turn off the auto detection process in grub2 then he can edit grub.cfg easily. its the autodetction process that is giving him probles ok.. i dont remember how to do that [12:27] siddhion, is that coming up when you try to view the firewall settings? === vivid` is now known as vivid [12:27] mick_, you wanted to see my firewalls information. i found the 'ufw show' command [12:28] siddhion: He meant on your router page [12:28] siddhion, I meant the firewall config page of your router, it's the option just above the virtual services option! [12:28] Hi! I've installed the realtime kernel, but grub still doesn't show up at boot, so no way to choose it..

[12:29] papul: any luck [12:29] TheEskimo, no [12:29] I would really appreciate just to be pointed in the right direction - a guide/walkthough someone knows that works. [12:29] it just boots from the first kernel of the list [12:29] pha: man limits.conf [12:30] after GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ? [12:30] I lost ubuntu while upgrading from 8.04 to 9.10.Power failure! Aptitude asks to do dpkg --configure -a . But, dpkg is unable to work with readonly files (locked?) Help! [12:30] ubuntu 10.04 LTS +ATI x1400 ,I get a screen mess often when system booting, how to sovle it? [12:30] ker: Holding shift is supposed to prevent automatic booting. That is odd behavior. [12:30] I did, and added the following two lines ---- * root soft nolimit 4096 & * root hard nolimit 65572 [12:30] ker: Try esc instead [12:30] siddhion, I have a router here that has different firewall rules built in. It doesn't amtter what ports I have forwarded. If I set the firewall rules to High then all port forwarding is stopped regardless of my other settings. I want to make sure that isn't the same for your router (does that answer your question TheEskimo ?) [12:31] ubuntu 10.04 LTS +ATI x1400 ,I get a screen mess often when system booting, how to solve it? [12:31] mick_, ok. firewall settings http://picasaweb.google.com/104531327405618516468/PortForwarding#5498175969704671490 [12:31] pha: you need to read more carefully [12:31] no answer?

[12:34] ok solved [12:34] siddhion, add the port to your port filtering options and then try on www.ping.eu and let me know if the port is open [12:34] papul_ how? [12:34] added to /etc/default/grub [12:34] after GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ?

I'm capturing a video4linux stream at /dev/video0 using VLC, but I need to input the audio device. I'm using the line-in on the back of my pc, what should I input for the audio device? [12:36] siddhion, How did that go for you? Is it sorted then? [12:37] mick_, not open. here is the screen shot http://picasaweb.google.com/104531327405618516468/PortForwarding#5498177628657603778 [12:38] siddhion, that is because you're scanning your LAN IP address. Go to www.ipchicken and get your WAN IP address then check that for open ports [12:38] My laptop freezes in the middle of suspending the LCD [12:38] siddhion, www.ipchicken.com [12:39] The hard disk shows some activity, the keyboard doesn't and the image on the LCD is hashed like it's in the middle of the animation where gnome-screensaver dims the screen [12:39] mick_, so the WAN IP address is different from my local IP address? [12:39] siddhion: or just use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ where the ip address will be correct. You don't need to fill it in there [12:39] thanks jrib. [12:39] messing around with it just now. [12:39] mick_, ipchicken says my ip is 213.199.241.50 [12:40] pha: no problem [12:40] siddhion, Your computer has a LAN IP address and your Router has a WAN IP address. All traffic that goes to your WAN IP will be routed to the machines that are defined in the router [12:40] siddhion, try ro a port test on that IP address and you should see that the port is open [12:42] hey guys i was wondering if you could help me figure out what is wrong with my xorg.conf, my computer is running as though it's not working with the graphic card anymore :( [12:42] siddhion, probably not such a good idea to post your IP address to a public forum either! === BrendenB is now known as Guest68826 [12:42] mick_, i ran a port test in Transmission and it says it is closed. i also went to canyouseeme.org and tested it there. closed too. [12:43] mick_, can i reset it? [12:43] siddhion: ubuntu does not close any ports by default. If you didn't install some sort of firewall, it's a router issue [12:43] How do I downgrade PHP to 5.2 on Ubuntu 10.04? [12:43] timmillwood: why? [12:43] my nvidia chip got burned. i just replace the chip. now my wireless and dvd rom not detected by ubuntu. why? [12:44] i can't get compiz to work either [12:44] how to connect with a Win XP PC on my LAN I m using Lubuntu [12:44] mick_, you can see anyones IP address here in IRC [12:45] hello. i want to help develop ubuntu project. how i can be usefull? [12:45] !contribute | Achmudas [12:45] Achmudas: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [12:46] can anyone suggest me [12:46] jrib, well i have followed mick_ instructions. i went into my router settings and made the appropriate changes. [12:46] siddhion, there are only 3 things that I can think are causing this problem 1. Firewall on local machine blocking port access to WAN 2. Router not routing to your local machine properly 3. Program running on different port. Check these over again and make sure that firewalls and routers and program is configured correctly [12:46] siddhion: and? [12:46] jrib, so i really do not know what more i can do. [12:46] siddhion: what is your goal? [12:46] siddhion, I'm off for my lunch. Good luck with your port forwarding [12:47] Hiiii.... I'm capturing a video4linux stream at /dev/video0 using VLC, but I need to input the audio device. I'm using the line-in on the back of my pc, what should I input for the audio device? [12:47] jrib, to open prot 51413 in Transmission [12:47] mick_, ok thanks. [12:47] siddhion: pastebin: sudo iptables -L [12:47] ascent__: if you mean 'access files on the other machines' you can set up samba/windows shares. or use ssh and winscp to get files back and forth [12:48] my nvidia chip got burned. i just replace the chip. now my wireless and dvd rom not detected by ubuntu. why? maybe i burned quite lot of things in my laptop. [12:48] hey ppl I need help - for some reason my graphics is incredibly choppy, I have a nvidia card that I recently had to reinstall the drivers for (they decided to uninstall automatically along with compiz), now programs run really choppy and i can't get compiz to work [12:48] jrib, ok here it is http://pastebin.com/AitzfAUA [12:48] dr.willis from where to get it? [12:49] siddhion: you have some ufw rules enabled. Look into them === root is now known as Guest13343 [12:49] ascent__: get what? samba and shareing is a built in feature of ubuntu.. winscp is a free program you can download for windows... [12:49] jrib how would i do that? [12:49] dr.willis it was easy in ubuntu but in lubuntu I m not able to find it [12:50] siddhion: idk, look for ufw documentation [12:50] ascent__: there is the #lubuntu channel, you can always mount windows shares via the proper mount commands if you wanted to. [12:51] ascent__: of if you are getting windows to access things on the linux box. You can make shares via editing the smb.conf or just use winscp and ssh. [12:51] jrib so are you saying to disable these ufw rules? [12:51] siddhion: no. I said for you to figure out what they do to see if they are responsible. [12:51] would it be a good idea to revert nvidia proprietary driver from 185 to 175 [12:51] siddhion: you enabled them at some point.... [12:53] jrib, so you are saying that i should google search all these names like 'ufw-before-logging-input ' and 'ufw-after-input all'? [12:54] I lost ubuntu while upgrading from 8.04 to 9.10.Power failure! Aptitude asks to do dpkg --configure -a . But, dpkg is unable to work with readonly files (locked?) -disconnected for sometime now. [12:54] siddhion: whatever you want. I'd start with official documentation [12:54] jrib, this is all nonsensicle stuff. ok [12:54] Hi [12:54] I've got a problem with my MacBook Pro under Lucid Lynx [12:55] siddhion: or you can ask here and wait for someone willing to do it for you. As I said, these rules aren't enabled by default, this is because of something you either installed or did [12:55] since i've upgraded to Lucid, the dimming keys don't work any more [12:55] I can't reduce the LCD luminosity [12:55] jrib, so what would the output look like if i did not have anything installed or changed? [12:55] jrdnyquist, would there be nothing? [12:55] siddhion: you can also try flushing the rules temporarily as a troubleshooting measure [12:56] siddhion: no rules is what the output would look like [12:56] jrib, yeah that sounds much simpler. can i just do a 'ufw reset' ? [12:56] siddhion: I've never used ufw [12:56] Has anyone experienced the same problem ? [12:56] siddhion: sudo iptables -F will flush the rules [12:56] (temporarily) [12:56] (i've googled it, but nvidia-bl-dkms is already installed) [12:57] (and pommed too) [12:57] I've tried with mbp-nvidia-bl-dkms instead of nvidia-bl-dkms, but it doesn't change anything [12:57] and the lcd dimming worked under the previous version of Ubuntu, with nvidia-bl-dkms and pommed [12:57] jrib, ok did that and then did a iptables -L. result is here http://pastebin.com/4QPB1uAT [12:58] how do i turn off desktop effects [12:58] siddhion: then you check if port is working... === Misterio is now known as Misterio_ === Misterio_ is now known as Misterio [12:58] any idea ? [12:58] Is there a specific Ubuntu Server room here? [12:58] jrib: because I am getting some errors on php 5.3 [12:58] timmillwood: "some errors"? [12:58] gazzzmoly, right click on desktop and goto the last tab and turnoff the effects by selecting the none [12:58] gazzzmoly: right click on desktop -> change wallpaper ---> last tab. [12:59] Database: #ubuntu-server, but you can ask here too [12:59] :) [12:59] cheers [12:59] jrib, that did nothing. still closed in Transmission and canyouseeme.org [12:59] jrib, thank you [12:59] siddhion: then it is a router issue [12:59] jrib, ok [12:59] siddhion: how are you determining it is closed in transmission? [13:00] does anyone here know a linux replacement for the everything tool? http://www.voidtools.com/ [13:00] jrib, preferences > network > incoming peers : test button [13:00] hi all [13:00] I would ask what that tool does.. :) but the answer will proberly be 'everything' : [13:00] sannn: tracker and beagle? Don't know what their current state is [13:01] hi dhananjay [13:01] siddhion, kfind maybe? [13:01] * siavashserver has never seen such an active channel :) [13:01] :/ [13:01] liamsmithuk, what is kfind? a terminal command> [13:02] I have a qustion, where is the proxy configuration written in ubuntu server? [13:02] nope a gui application for searching for files / folders [13:02] liamsmithuk: I guess you wanted to direct that to sannn [13:02] liamsmithuk, not sure how that is going to help check to see if the port is open [13:03] Whenever I start my PC and start any program, I am missing the minimize, maximize, close buttons. I need to log out and log back in to get them back. Is there any way to fix this? [13:03] how to mount my custom linux kernel over ram without nfs [13:03] sorry, highlight fail :-) [13:04] jrib: not the same.. everything does not do meta data crap. I'm looking for locate with a (gtk)gui with realtime updated results (update the results window if I add a new file for example) [13:05] Howdy. I recently replaced the motherboard in my Ubuntu Server 10.04 install, and now the network isn't working - is there any way to get Ubuntu to redetect and reinstall the correct drivers without having to reinstall the whole OS? [13:06] unable to do dpkg --configure -a as a previous run locked the data area. Please help. [13:06] jrib, so any other ideas? [13:07] could my isp be blocking my port? [13:08] Can you suggest a wireless adapter that works with 10.04 (and future versiosn preferably) out of the box? [13:08] sannn: how does tracker not fulfill that requirement exactly? [13:09] siddhion: it's your router most likely === aatish is now known as darksifer [13:09] without ndiswrapper plz [13:09] siddhion: disable the firewall in your router and test [13:09] i want it to just work [13:09] jrib: for a start it doesn't even start indexing ;) [13:10] hi [13:10] hi to everyone [13:10] sannn: so you are saying tracker isn't working for you, not that it does not in theory do what you want? [13:11] hey someone HELP! (i'm going nuts not getting answered)... I want to know why Compiz isn't working anymore; the cmd prompt tells me that it falls back on metacity for some reason... http://pastebin.com/R8MxAHcL [13:11] jrib so there is a firewall in ubuntu and my router? anyways. in my router settings under Firewall > Port Filtering I have enabled 51413 w/ TCP and UDP to be filtered [13:11] erry, I have a 'Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter' which works out of the box, I am pretty sure any Atheros wireless adapters work [13:11] siddhion: erm, you don't want it filtered [13:11] is there any recent documentation on how to setup a trunk line with ubuntu using the vlan package/ [13:12] for 10.04 [13:12] jrib, ok, that is what mick_ said to do. [13:12] sannn: there's also strigi to add to the tracker and beagle list, but I've never tried it [13:13] jrib, so you are saying to remove the port filtering. ok i will do this. [13:13] siddhion: I'm saying to not block the port on your router. I don't know how your router works === om26er_ is now known as om26er [13:13] jrib, i dont think anyone does. [13:13] jrib: both :) My first idea was to look at tracker but it does not work for me. (beagle and strigi are next on the list). But they all work on the concept of meta data. I want only filenames (think always uptodate locate) [13:14] sannn: I'm pretty sure you can run a search query in tracker to search only filenames, no? [13:14] jrib: nevermind, I was just after a simple answer, not an interrogation. [13:14] would it be a good idea to revert nvidia proprietary driver from 185 to 175?? [13:14] jrib, anyways, in the Firewall page i have 5 tabs: Port Filtering , IP filtering, MAC filtering, URL filtering and DOS setting. [13:14] halo jest ktoś z polski? [13:15] !pl | dom__ [13:15] dom__: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [13:15] oki [13:15] timmillwood: well I'm asking you the questions because it's not "easy" to downgrade software. So more likely than not, you have some problem for which there is a better solution. If you don't want to share what the actual problem is, so that we can help you, that's fine. [13:15] jrib, actually the last one is DoS setting. [13:15] siddhion: you have to look at your router documentation for that [13:16] siddhion: like I said, an easy way to troubleshoot is to just disable the firewall for a minute and test [13:16] jrib: the issue is with Drupal 6 that does not support 5.3, drupal 7 will, but does not have a stable release yet. [13:16] :( [13:16] jrib, haha. i never got documentation for this rare no name router. my ISP never gave it. [13:17] i cant read windows .ini files [13:17] jrib, the ufw firewall in ubuntu is inactive but i guess you mean the firewall in my router. [13:17] plus downloaded few codes from ubunto software center and none of them works [13:17] jrib: perhaps if the bloody tool would work [13:17] timmillwood: interesting, does that mean the drupal6 package is broken? Have you checked for bug reports against it? [13:17] jrib, i have looked in each of those 5 tabs under firewall and none of them has a disable firewall button. [13:18] siddhion: don't know then [13:18] jrib: it's not broken, just doesn't support 5.3. [13:18] timmillwood: what do you mean by that? It seems contradictory [13:19] jrib: http://drupal.org/node/360605 [13:20] timmillwood: so how is it not broken? [13:20] Hi, I've got a v4l2 capture device, and I want to record video. Audio is on "hw:1,0", what should I use to record the capture thingy to disk??? [13:20] timmillwood: does the ubuntu package patch around it? [13:20] jrib: php is broken. ;) [13:20] yes, that's a given of course... [13:22] siddhion, have you installed gufw to help configuring your firewall. The best way for you to fix this is to understand how port forwarding works. 1. Your router gets traffic on a certain port (51413) and it then looks at the port forwarding rules and says, OK, all traffic on port 51413 goes to IP address 192.168.1.2 on the LAN. The traffic is routed to your PC where the firewall scans is and decides if it allowed through or not. As aresult you have to test 2 th [13:22] ings. 1. Port open and unhindered on your local machine (check firewall and transmission to make sure they are configured properly) 2. Check your router configuration [13:23] I have to stop wasting my time here. People ask questions and then just leave in the middle of a conversation? Whatever. [13:23] jrib well i didnt [13:23] jrib.. lol [13:24] .ini files won't open. what to do? [13:24] neither did I ;) [13:24] blink: what do you expect to happen when you try to open them? [13:24] keep the good job just advance the too Google :) [13:24] How would I add virtual interfaces so I can route between vlans? I already have the vlan package installed [13:24] !ask [13:24] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:24] any help available here for crashed dpkg upgrade please? [13:24] mick_ ok so there is only one firewall , right? ufw. [13:25] ksbalaji, type dpkg-reconfigure -a [13:25] mick_, no i have not installed gufw...i think i only have ufw [13:25] "Google is are friend " [13:25] !google > Aogo [13:25] Aogo, please see my private message [13:25] google is friend who knows more about you than you woud like [13:25] SwedeMike: I had Wine installed then removed it. Well, I receive this error message.. "Failed to execute child process "wine" (No such file or directory)" [13:25] mick_, ok i am installing gufw [13:25] monkey_dust, I tried. It says, the data files are read-only. [13:26] siddhion, install gufw and use that to configure your firewall. Better still, uninstall ufw for testing. If it still doesn't work after removing ufw then we know it's not that causing the problem. I reckon if we eliminate each hurdle one by one we will get it sorted [13:26] Pici what private mess i don't see any sorry [13:26] blink: so without wine, what do you expect to happen when you open a .ini file? [13:27] Aogo: This is a support channel, we don't tell users to 'google it' when they ask a question. [13:27] Could anyone link me to some recent documentation (prefer 10.04) about how to set up vlan routing on one interface? [13:27] oo my bad keep the good job ... [13:28] SwedeMike: The same error, though Wine is completely removed. Just lemme make sure it is out of the system. [13:28] i have a question how long well ubuntu linux be free...?

[14:01] over complicated all i want is xbmc and firefox [14:01] its for my htpc [14:02] join #seaphor [14:02] gazzzmoly, have you looked into MythTV? [14:02] all this dependancy and adding repos etc is just to complicated [14:02] i dont have a tvcard [14:03] Is there a separate Hardy channel now that Lucid has been released? [14:03] Blinny: Nope, you can still ask here. [14:03] gazzzmoly, I use ubuntu server without xbmc ...xbmc is overly complicated imo , you just ned a decent mnedia player [14:03] gazzzmoly, try using the Software Centre. [14:03] its for all the family to run on my revo [14:04] Anyone know what this means? Session error : Data could not be written (Input/output error) (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2839) [14:04] OK. I have a recent issue where my /tmp is filling up, but not with files. As such, there is a large discrepancy between 'df' and 'du', with 'df' reporting about 1GB additional space used per day. This is on 64-bit Hardy patched up to early last week. [14:04] i tried installing elementos which is based on ubunto but keep getting bootmgr is missing when trying to boot off pendrive [14:05] chilli0, Looks as though there's a problem with your CD Writer [14:05] hi, how to add applets to netbook desktop's panel? [14:05] mick_, It works fine with other dvd's. ( im copying the cd) [14:05] And I can watch the movie just fine by playing it. [14:05] chilli0, what exactly are you trying to do? [14:06] Copy a disk to an iso. [14:06] chilli0, copying an iso to disk? Or trying to create an iso from a disc? [14:06] The latter. [14:07] chilli0, I don't think Brasero can do that [14:07] liamsmithuk: good call on that file location. Found what I was looking for in there. Thanks! [14:07] chilli0: I think K3B can. [14:07] kryptyk, no problem [14:07] gazzzmoly, install ubuntu server and then you just need a decent media player , xbmc is like windows media center , overdone and bloated for most setups [14:07] mick_, Yes it can , I have done it to 3 other disks before this one. [14:08] The option is Disk Copy. [14:08] tntc, So can bras [14:08] chilli0, then I'm sorry but I can't help you on this one. Good luck with it though [14:08] chilli0: oh, ok. [14:08] Thanks for your time mick_. [14:09] chilli0: oh, you mean it won't copy this particular disk? [14:09] tntc, Yes. [14:09] chilli0, np just as a matter of interest, have you tried this method .... If you're using Nautilus, it's even easier (because Nautilus has its own burning utility). Put in the CD in your drive, go to Places > Computer, right-click on the mounted CD-ROM, choose "Copy Disc...", and in the Copy Disc dialog box, choose File Image in the "Copy Disc to" dropdown list. [14:09] blueskaj im confused now xbmc is the reason i bought this revo so i could have hardware accel all the fancy stuff of xbmc it was working good on win 7 but someone said its better on linux [14:10] chilli0: you might want to try something like gddrescue. If the disk has errors, it'll just write zeros [14:10] tntc, I will not be doing that haha. ( It's a movie) [14:10] hi [14:10] hey [14:11] mick_, That copy disk thingo , is the bras one =P [14:11] chilli0: oh, you might need like DVDShrink (A windows app) or something. [14:11] i m having difficulty playing .3gp files .. [14:11] my vlc player can play the file but i cant play the audio [14:11] tntc, I wanna copy the iso ( no quality loss and can re-write ealy_) [14:11] Where is the cover art for 10.04 Server [14:11] and iv downloaded realplayer but realplayer cannot play it.. [14:11] and it has many problem [14:11] gazzzmoly, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the real question is what are 'your needs' what are you planning to do ,then we can discuss with end point/solution in mind [14:12] chilli0: DVDSrhink'll do that. You just need to turn off compression. I use it to back up all my DVDs and so I can watch em on my netbook. [14:12] which player u use to play .3gp files [14:12] i mean the video files [14:12] Oh cool, Ill try the k3b first then that.

[14:15] tntc, I'm trying k3b as we speak. Then ill try k9copy. then the other one you said =P [14:16] chilli0: bear in mind DVDShrink is Windows only, and kinda tough to get, since they don't host it in the US. They're scared of the whole dvdcss situation, especailly since it stores an unencrypted copy and can remove region encoding. [14:17] tntc, Ill be able to get a copy =P [14:17] tntc: Cant find it [14:17] gazzzmoly, sorry , dunno much about revo, I use wireless mouse and KB to control my media server which runs hdmi video to the tv and spdif (digital pcm ) audio to my HT amp DAC [14:18] the_student: scroll down.

[15:09] jinjonBoo, Xubuntu is a start. puppy is even lighter. === zivl is now known as TuxSax [15:10] jinjonBoo, Fluxbuntu [15:10] jinjonBoo: Xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce insteaf of gnome; lubuntu with lxde >> I would recommed what edbian said [15:10] and for more lightweight install Blackbox [15:11] jinjonBoo, Note: puppy is lighter than all of these options because the entire OS fits into ram. Ubuntu does not have this functionality. [15:11] just wondering, why there's no GUI for encryption settings? So I can't even tell easily if it's working or not >.> [15:11] where is the file youtube.lua for VLC? i can't find it [15:11] <_Archana_> Hi, I need an alternative to this : http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/ [15:11] <_Archana_> http file server [15:12] soreau, hey [15:12] Anom01y: pitivi ?

For instructions and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox [15:15] Guys , whatch this http://bit.ly/aqYjvQ [15:15] why Rythembox keeps on closing after 5 seconds? [15:15] !minimal [15:15] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:15] what could be wrong there? yeah I have a long playlist, and the application must work with such a thing.

[15:30] I'm installing Ubuntu Server 10, the issue is that the installer is not able to install grub or lilo [15:30] is that a bug? [15:31] hello :) [15:31] i even installed the firefox plugin part [15:31] nevermind encryption guys, it works [15:31] documentation sucks though [15:31] pfuentealba, Grub should automatically install with the O/S [15:32] guest__: Can you view any videos on YouTube?

[15:32] correct [15:32] pfuentealba, It should not be a separate install [15:32] but I'm receiving an error when installing grub or lilo [15:32] Hello, I am trying to upgrade Ubuntu 5.04, where can I download 5.10?

We use PGP desktop ( which I think also encrypts the boot sector of the drive ), after logging in, I then hit the Grub menu. After passing through that, I get the prompt to enter the password for the linux encryption. I'm currently running Jaunty, and I'd like to upgrade to Lucid. Can this be done from within Jaunty, without touching the other partitions? [15:33] AaronMT: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [15:33] Maybe a glitch in the d/l [15:33] lostinspace_46, you must install Acrobat Flashplayer plugin [15:33] nope, I haven't done it [15:33] that could be it.. [15:33] !5.04 | AaronMT [15:33] AaronMT: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) was the second release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 31, 2006. See !eol for more details.

See « man ssh_config » for examples [15:35] lostinspace_46, sorry :S [15:35] WindozeSuckz, NP..lol [15:35] I am running Grub-1.98. Am I correct in assuming that the screen where I choose the O/S to log into is what I hear referred to as the Grub splash screen? [15:35] isn't there anything similar to "filemon" in Linux¿? [15:35] lostinspace_46, yes -- that is correct [15:35] WindozeSuckz: what does it do? [15:36] slidinghorn, Then looking at the tuts to change the background, what I see would indicate a blue screen?? [15:36] jrib, it surveys the active processes and tells you what files are being opened/modified by each process, so that you can get track on the changes those programs are making in your filesystem (config and log files, temp files, etc.) [15:36] J3ckyl, which server should I restart after such a change ? [15:36] WindozeSuckz: yes; mortadelo ;) [15:36] WindozeSuckz: lsof? strace? [15:36] lostinspace_46, not sure what you mean [15:36] by the way, dnotify doesn't work [15:37] Maul, you won't need to restart anything, it will be instant [15:37] i thought that swf was an alternative to Adobe? [15:37] slidinghorn, The debian 5 line? [15:37] WindozeSuckz: http://lwn.net/Articles/271796/ [15:37] J3ckyl, thanks [15:37] Maul, as lost as you formatted it correctly [15:37] jrib, I tried strace the other day, but I didn't have much success, I'm gonna look for lsof and see what it does [15:37] WindozeSuckz: dnotify was superceded by inotify [15:37] erUSUL, thaks, I'm gonna take a look at that [15:37] MauL^: add it to /etc/hosts then you don't need to restart anything.. just use the host [15:37] WindozeSuckz: what dod you want to do ? [15:38] Maul, so example [15:38] 192.168.1.106 bass [15:38] slidinghorn, This line WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/desktop-base/moreblue-orbit-grub.png" [15:38] Hey. [15:38] J3ckyl, that worked thank you [15:38] do i need to uninstall swf player? [15:38] lostinspace_46, to be honest, I've never tried to theme grub...I skipped that step and used BURG =\ [15:38] Maul, NP [15:38] erUSUL, I want to know, when I install a new program, how it tampers with my filesystem, I want to know exactly all the files it creates and modifies [15:39] Hi all [15:39] Hey. [15:39] Hi, I just came back from work and even though I had logged out before I left this morning. The computer crashed somehow and I was logged in when I turned on the monitor. [15:39] i thought adobe flash is not advisable.. hence i installed swf [15:39] WindozeSuckz: well is hosuld be enough to take a look at the deb package ? [15:39] Just now. [15:39] slidinghorn, OK I will try the tut again...right now my grub is black and white [15:39] Is there any way to find out what happened? [15:39] i was just wondering, is there any facial recognition software for ubuntu. [15:40] Is there any way to find out if something was done while I was away from the computer? [15:40] erUSUL, that is useful if you want to know where the app itself installs but, when you run it, it creates temp files, logs and config files elsewhere most of the time (your home folder for instance [15:40] guest_ adobe flash is crappy but there are really no working alternitives. i would uninstall swf and install flash. [15:40] LiquidDemocracy, install a keylogger [15:40] LiquidDemocracy: you could check log files, next time lock the screen [15:40] WindozeSuckz, too late. [15:40] WindozeSuckz: well the conf files in your home are created when you first run the app; afaik [15:40] nerdy_kid: ok thanks.. [15:41] leave [15:41] linxeh, that is exactly the point. The screen was locked. [15:41] That is a HUGE problem for me. [15:41] erUSUL, yes that's what I'd like to know, exactly what files a given app creates, plus what tracks it could leave elsewhere (tmp folder, /var logs, and all) [15:41] windooze, there are a lot of programs out there that can do what your asking. It really comes down to the extent you want your filesystem watched [15:41] The crash caused the desktop to become visible. [15:41] This is the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened to me. [15:41] WindozeSuckz: well; options where given. in the discussion of the article other options are mentioned too === DaZ^ is now known as DaZ [15:42] WindozeSuckz: good luck. [15:42] LiquidDemocracy, they shoudl have fixed screensaver crash bug bby now [15:42] erUSUL, I'll take a look at the article and will try mortadelo as well [15:42] LiquidDemocracy: had the machine rebooted ? or was it just the screensaver that crashed ? [15:42] How can I find out when this crash occurred? [15:42] !logs [15:42] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [15:42] ouch [15:43] When I turned on the monitor I saw the two panels at the top and bottom of Gnome and the desktop was black. No symbols or anything. And the keyboard was flashing. [15:43] Num and caps lock was flashing. [15:43] Can anybody help me with using unetbootin with a harddrive instead of USB? I have a free partition and would like to install ubuntu next to windows, but while installing I get 'failed to unmount /cdrom' [15:44] any dis/advantages of open source graphic driver over proprietary graphic driver? are there any? [15:44] its not as fast [15:44] typically [15:44] JoeMaverickSett, open source is sh1t [15:45] JoeMaverickSett: for what hardware? [15:45] JoeMaverickSett, more often than not it's dependent on which card you have. sometimes the OS driver is the one you'll need sometimes the proprietary is...

For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [16:09] rww: is there no key combo to select all? [16:10] jayeola /etc/default/grub.cfg [16:10] philinux, using grub-install on the ubuntu livecd [16:10] jayeola: What is it you want to change [16:10] IdleOne: nope, and the menu item only works sometimes, so I just use the mouse [16:10] kristof_D: Is this grub2 [16:10] rww the mouse wont work. [16:10] heh. works fine for me :\ [16:10] What about xclip? [16:11] philinux, it's the grub that comes with ubuntu 10.4, don't know which one it is [16:11] guys. stuff like chaning the default kernel, options and the usual stuff that one does with grub [16:11] example:- selinux=0 === Guest24947 is now known as notwist [16:11] kristof_D, i think its grub 2 already [16:11] kristof_D: that would be grub 2 then. What guide did you follow [16:11] can somebody with a problem? [16:11] !grub2 [16:11] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

[16:12] how do you use braces in xubuntu? [16:12] You can redirect terminal output [16:12] kristof_D: maybe try this then. http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [16:12] in temrinal, add > output.log to any command [16:12] mORWo, hp has know issues about this warming ironing issue, dont think its ubuntu related [16:12] to have its output sent to the output.log file [16:12] Zela i have to use ctrl shift c and ctrl shift v to copy and paste [16:12] spooky what now? [16:12] Zela in a terminal [16:12] how do you use braces in xubuntu? [16:13] nerdy_kid, ya I did that but I need to select all and paste in the getedit. [16:13] gdm is all mgnificated...what the hell do i do? [16:13] laurens: It depends on your keyboard layout. [16:13] Zela: In terminal, add > output.log at the end of a command to have everything from that command outputed to output.log [16:13] [q] Is there a way that I can set the CPU powersaving setting/thingy/whatever it is permanently? Is it a bug that it chooses a random setting on boot? [16:13] i.e., ls -al > output.log [16:13] Zela: what text are you trying to select? is it output from a command you want to send to gedit? [16:13] then type: more output.log to view the output of ls -al [16:13] I've just found that I do have a grub.cfg, only, I don't get a bootmenu on startup [16:13] ok thanks for the grub heads up! [16:13] jayeola: Try this resource. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [16:14] No I mean I want to copy something out of my shell. [16:14] Does anybody know if the high load average bug is gone from 10.04? Can't really find a lot on Google (except that I'm not the only one with that problem), and I'd like to update to Lucid again. [16:14] I seen video (http://vimeo.com/3721328) that tell how to transform any picture in ASCII... and that do not work for me, any help ? [16:14] kristof_D: sounds like grub2 not installed properly [16:14] when I run sudo aptitude update, I get the following message: "W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid/partner Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_partner_binary-amd64_Packages)" [16:15] Zela: Not to be funny, but you can't hilight something in the terminal window, right-mouse click and select paste? [16:15] datacrusher, thanks. so there's no solutionm, right? a friend told me to try downloading elder version of ubuntu. i thought about searching for some brand-new drivers for ubuntu :P [16:15] what should I do in these types of situations, as I have had this happen in the past, yet I haven't found a solution that stops the errors [16:15] spooky, ok but there is a select all option but its not selecting the whole doc. [16:16] Zela: Can you drag the mouse cursor over the entire window to manually select all? [16:16] No. [16:16] neverblue pretty sure that means you have duplicate entries in your sources.list. open up synaptic click respitories and look through them [16:17] nerdy_kid, I do not [16:17] Zela: try Ctrl + Insert [16:17] to copy, and Ctrl + Shift + Insert to paste [16:18] neverblue thats kinda the only thing that causes that error message.....dont know what else to try sorry. maybe try directly opening /etc/apt/sources.list [16:18] nerdy_kid, thanks for your help === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [16:18] spooky thats not doing it. [16:18] neverblue: you realize that there's an /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that can contain sources.list entries, right? [16:18] I need the whole document copied, this will take forever. [16:18] spooky, cant you use xclip? [16:18] Zela: Are you using the Terminal that comes with Ubuntu, or something like the terminal app that comes with a dock bar? [16:19] The terminal that came with ubuntu. [16:19] rww, how about you just get to your point... ? [16:19] What are you trying to copy/ [16:20] neverblue: There's a duplicate somewhere in one or more of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ .

[16:23] ok bastidrazor I got it so how do I work it? [16:23] _Archana_: Also, it's been over a year since I've used Skype.

[16:23] <_Archana_> cognitiaclaeves, Ok. Thanks for replying [16:23] _Archana_, yes I took it from official skype [16:24] rww, Ubuntu tweak: nope, never heard of it [16:24] np. Good luck. [16:24] Zela: in terminal: pastebinit /path/to/file .. it will then print you a url to the location of your paste [16:24] Halp me! The tops of windows where i can minimize them or close them are gone! How do i get them back? [16:24] grendal_prime: That link looks to be down try this. https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup [16:24] rww, I add that repo, manually [16:24] <_Archana_> abhijit, the old beta which is not updated there ? :P [16:24] bastidrazor, I don't need it being public I need to edit it before it pastebins. [16:24] ( I'm going to go work now. IRC is too distracting to keep up. Everyone have a good one! ) [16:24] Zela: gksudo gedit /path/to/file [16:24] _Archana_, yes beta [16:24] SplatZ: ALT+F2, type 'metacity --replace' in the box then press enter. [16:25] Zela: you can edit the contents after you pasted it then have it display only the edited portion [16:25] popey: thank you! [16:25] <_Archana_> abhijit, then , I see only a Call button on a contact and Not the video button.... ? [16:26] IdleOne, nothing came up. [16:26] <_Archana_> abhijit, I don't have a webcam.. But my friends have [16:26] * rww away [16:26] Zela: what is the path to the file? [16:26] _Archana_, then you should be able to view his video. [16:26] Zela: you replace /path/to/file w [16:26] rww: you should know better ... [16:26] rww: :) [16:26] IdleOne, I know. [16:27] IdleOne, Unreal3.2/unrealircd.cpnf [16:27] IdleOne, Unreal3.2/unrealircd.conf [16:27] Zela: gksudo gedit ~/Unreal3.2/unrealircd.conf [16:27] <_Archana_> Spamicles, ccsm > window decorations > command should be "gtk-window-decorator --replace" [16:28] <_Archana_> Spamicles, sorry , not for you [16:28] <_Archana_> splatz ccsm > window decorations > command should be "gtk-window-decorator --replace" === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [16:28] this is probably the wrong place to ask, but can I assume sudo privleges while in vi, like if I forget the 'sudo' before 'vi /a/config/file' [16:28] jet OS [16:28] IdleOne, it says starting admin something then it disappears, nothing is popping up. [16:28] Is there a log file that logs all logins, including logins from locked screens? [16:29] <_Archana_> abhijit, Ok. [16:29] <_Archana_> abhijit, bye [16:29] _Archana_, bye [16:29] In theory, the problem could be related to dhclient... is there any way to check if one is connected to the wireless network without using dhclient? [16:29] Zela: don't know what to tell you. You do have a GUI installation correct? [16:29] LiquidDemocracy: take a look at /var/log/auth.log [16:30] TuxSax, but that does not log, screen unlocks, does it? [16:30] neverblue: I've got nothing. I generally just add repositories directly to /etc/apt/sources.list and leave /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ empty, so I don't really have to deal with the mess it makes on a regular basis. [16:30] I installed ubuntu server 10.4 and configured ssmtp to send mail via my gmail account. I have a few scripts that I run that send mail and they work perfectly if I run them at the command line with sudo. If I run them in a cron job however as root they do their jobs but do not send the emails and there is nothing in mail.err to help me debug. === jeremy is now known as theshapeshifter [16:31] LiquidDemocracy: you mean the GUI screen unlock? [16:31] TuxSax, yes [16:31] erUSUL: me manually writing "/me away" uses fewer lines than people I was talkingt o pinging me multiple times asking whether I disappeared. [16:31] Gnome [16:31] whats the best linux os to get? [16:31] I have used these scripts on gentoo for years with ssmtp and vixie-cron with no issues at all [16:31] neverblue: you can add/remove repos from System > Administration > Software Sources [16:31] theshapeshifter: ask in ##linux [16:31] ##linux [16:31] damn [16:32] Hi everybody! [16:32] Is there a way to check whether there was any user activity during 7:00 and 16:30 PM today? === przemek_ is now known as luk_s [16:32] Finally , login in from Empathy [16:32] Im looking for help with my display settings with nvidia [16:32] LiquidDemocracy: try the command 'last' [16:33] could someone please tell me how to enter the ubuntu recovery console? [16:33] bastidrazor, I used pastebin it and it did show me a link....but is this link shown and submitted already? I dont need it to be subm,itted. [16:33] submitted* [16:33] Anyone know if yubikey one time password packages support pin code? [16:33] E_MAN: hold down shift right at the beginning of boot and choose the Recovery option in GRUB [16:33] hello, i have python2.6 installed, i am trying to install 2.7 but i dont see it in the package manager, does anyone know if it should be there [16:33] in lucid [16:33] Hi, just bought a new netbook, comes with win7 should i change to linux if so which distro would people suggest? [16:33] Somebody know What's happend to cl.archive.ubuntu.com server? All the urls shows 403 forbidden error when I try to install software. I have 10.04 [16:33] thanks rww [16:33] Weird... My network browser shows my computer as Ignatius-Deskto instead of Ignatius-Desktop... Where do I change that for samba, hostname gives the full name [16:33] metalgeek: your in a Ubuntu channel... [16:34] bastidrazor? [16:34] Zela: post the link [16:34] IdleOne, ha ha [16:34] Does anybody know if the high load average bug is gone from 10.04? Can't really find a lot on Google (except that I'm not the only one with that problem), and I'd like to update to Lucid again. [16:34] can anyone suggest me a good mac os x theme for ubuntu? [16:34] ChogyDan, I don't want people to see it I mean using pastebinit, will it show that post that the terminal outputs to everyone?

[16:35] Thanks. [16:36] TuxSax, what does it do? [16:36] Guys , Take a look http://vimeo.com/10518151 [16:36] LiquidDemocracy: sudo apt-get install acct [16:36] it keeps track of some user activity [16:36] Zela: anyone who figures out the address can see it [16:36] ChogyDan, thanks. [16:36] TuxSax, too late. I must know if any user was at my computer while it was unlocked. [16:37] Today. [16:37] you can try to see if there were some commands executed in the bash history files [16:37] Tuxist, the potential user who had access to my machine does not know anything about Linux or bash. [16:38] I would like to isolate the output of a command using a regex but am unsure of how to do it. If I use 'command | grep [regex]' I get the line matching the regex. I just want the matched bit from the regex. Is there a way to do that? [16:38] LiquidDemocracy: check your browser history. [16:38] sorry rww that doesnt seem to be working, is there another way. Im trying to fix this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219767 [16:38] LiquidDemocracy: most users have no idea about deleting history :) [16:39] IdleOne, but the browser history doesn't have timestamps, does it? [16:39] LiquidDemocracy: hmm it may, I don't remember [16:39] rdingram: perhaps you need to elaborate the regex [16:39] what exactly do you want to match? [16:39] ChogyDan, how do I delete the post? [16:39] LiquidDemocracy: chromium-browser does [16:39] Is there a way to find out if the browser was used during the day? Tabs were ckecked out, etc? [16:39] Firefox [16:40] Ok, I see... buy! [16:40] I am wanting to take the output of acpi -t and just get the numberical temperature it outputs. [16:40] *numerical [16:40] LiquidDemocracy: my guess is there is not much to do if you didn't run a kind of logger to it [16:40] anyone here know anything about the program Lives ? I am trying to convert jpgs I have into a slideshow with effects and music for a simple youtube video. Didn't know it would be this difficult [16:40] Hello. Totem quiestion --- i'm taking a screenshot of a FS dvd video and i see the resolution is 640x480. Does totem just resize the video playback resolution or just the screenshots? I'm concerned because i've noticed a better playback here than in vlc or mplayer. [16:40] E_MAN: not working how? Shift isn't bringing up a GRUB menu, or it is and the Recovery option isn't working, or... [16:41] Lives seems like it will do it but I am clueless as to what buttons I need to hit in it to get it to slide through my jpgs [16:41] is there a file that logs when the screensaver goes on off? [16:41] I think there are some add-ons for firefox to track activity, but if it's not activated prior to the time you want to check is no use [16:41] ChogyDan, how do I delete the post? [16:41] LiquidDemocracy: in FF click History > Show all history > Click Views > Visit Date. [16:41] gay [16:41] rdingram: could you paste here the whole output? [16:42] shift just brings me to a black screen with a blinking currsor [16:42] that will show you date and time [16:42] and tell me what do you want to match out of it? [16:42] IdleOne, thank you [16:42] LiquidDemocracy: if you don't already have the 'acct' package installed for process accounting and auditing, yer kinda SOL for what you want [16:42] LiquidDemocracy: sure thing [16:43] If I run 'acpi -t | grep -r [0-9][0-9].[0-9]' The output will be 'Thermal 0: ok, 58.5 degrees C', with 58.5 highlighted. I would like to have the output be just the 58.5 part. [16:43] LiquidDemocracy: next time don't forget to lock your PC, and if you're worried about activity while absent, then install and run the acct package [16:44] rww , i have to leave, ill figure it out later [16:44] I am using pastebinit and it makes a link to pastebin I want the pastebin deleted how do I do this? [16:44] netbios spec is 15 character limit on smb names [16:44] Who knew? [16:44] :P [16:44] LiquidDemocracy: There should be a way to allow only authorized user to delete history. I don't know how to do that though. [16:44] rdingram: first of all, if you want only numeric, and want to use "only" regex, then you need to separate the outputs by groups, and also decide what and how you want it displayed [16:45] I am using pastebinit and it makes a link to pastebin I want the pastebin deleted how do I do this? [16:45] TuxSax: Could you point me to any reference material to figure out how to do that? [16:46] Is there a general Linux support channel for irc (stupid question probably) [16:46] Zela: don't use pastebinit on files you don't want to publish. I believe the pastebin will delete the entry in 24 hours unless you selected to save it longer. [16:46] but you should not forget that a dot is a special char so you should escape it with backslash, so the regex looks something like [0-9][0-9]\.[0-9] [16:46] IdleOne, I didn't do anything, it just made a pastebin itself. [16:46] Anyone have used Yubikey? [16:46] I dont know if people can even see it can thet IdleOne? [16:47] Hi, anyone know of a way to install firefox xpi files from ssh session on remote host [16:47] Can anyone recommend a cheap VPS hosting provider supporting Lucid Server (Ubuntu 10.04.X LTS)? So far I've only found ones supporting debian, centos, or rhel.....I'm partial to Ubuntu obviously. Thx [16:47] * mda_ goes afk... [16:48] TuxSax: gotcha on the period. [16:48] mda_, dont think ubuntu server is so common in VPS === mike_ is now known as Guest7817 [16:49] Idleone [16:49] ? [16:50] Ok im using pastebinit can anyone see the link on pastebin? [16:50] it pastebinned a link but can anyone see it? [16:50] TuxSax: So is grep the appropriate command to use if I want to separate out just what the regex has matched? [16:51] Zela: you tell us the link [16:51] Zela: they can if they know the url [16:51] They don't know the URL [16:51] Only i do. [16:51] Zela: yeah, so tell us. [16:51] :) [16:51] anyone know if python 2.7 is available through the package manager [16:51] hello erkan^ [16:51] jrib: that would be too easy :| [16:51] jrib, why would I show you...then you can see what I posted, I don't want people to see it, [16:52] Zela: ok... [16:52] hey abhijit ☺ [16:52] anyone here know anything about the program Lives ? I am trying to convert jpgs I have into a slideshow with effects and music for a simple youtube video. Didn't know it would be this difficult [16:52] rdingram: in this case you would better try to use awk [16:52] bastidrazor, will it delete itself? [16:52] is there anybody who can help me with nvidia driver problems? [16:52] TuxSax: Ok, I will do a little man page research. Thank you for your help! [16:52] awk allows you to separate the output in fields by a default or given separator and let you display what you want [16:52] Zela: depends on the pastebin you used [16:52] along: looks like it isn't [16:53] rww: thought i was going crazy [16:53] jrib what do you mean? The pastebin it thing posted it for me. [16:53] Zela: you can choose different pastebins [16:53] jrib, i didnt know that [16:53] anyone here make youtube videos in Linux ? is it possible ? [16:53] jrib, I just did pastebinit path/to/file and it gave a linkl [16:53] link* [16:53] Anom01y, have you tried kdenlive?

I think sourcefourge as well [17:05] mustelo, look for plug & play zone on this pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue14_en.pdf [17:05] thank you corpsegrindr ... the thing that upsets me about this is that it was working magically and natively... and then an "update" killed it :( i guess thats par for the course with software [17:05] handbrake looks like a dvd making utility, something I could have used about 5 years ago [17:06] Anom01y, apt-get install handbrake-cli === dclarke_ is now known as SmartSsa [17:07] or handbrake-gtk if you has to have the gui [17:07] You don't want the GUI anyways as I think there is an open issue with 9.0.4 and ubuntu [17:07] works fine on 10.04 though here anyway [17:07] J3ckyl, E: Couldn't find package handbrake-cli [17:07] I am getting very slow data transfer speeds on my ubuntu box. going from sdd1 to sda1 im transfering at about 200kbps. would that have anything to do with the OS its self? (sdd1 is 72000rpm sda1 is 59000rpm) [17:07] screw it [17:07] jrib, following info in those links I was able to add the entries to sources list. it says in there that I need to get the key from www.keyserver.net, I have no clue what I am searching for. I thought there was a command for downloading public keys [17:09] corpsegrindr, How are you copying the data? Simply clicking and dragging? [17:09] I think lives is what I need, I am just stuck trying to get it to do what I need [17:09] edbian: yeah, would a cp work better? [17:10] razz1: apt-key list on a pastebin please [17:11] corpsegrindr, Eh, it's probably just that it's a bit level copy because you have to physically move the data. Usually when you move files / folders around it's fast because that's a virtual change. The files don't actually move on the hdd. However when you copy from one hdd to another it's slower because it has to physically copy the bits. [17:11] Guys , if you're laptop has 64bit intel not amd .. wwhich Ubuntu iso whould you select ? [17:11] jrib, ok, just givve me 2 mins [17:11] Sary: amd64 is just the name of the architecture, use that one [17:11] corpsegrindr, It's actually extremely fast. Think about what you said, 200,000 bits every second. The computer is copying 200,000 ones and zeros every second. [17:11] Sary: how much ram do you have? [17:12] corpsegrindr your working between SATA and PATA drives? i get speed issues doing that as well [17:12] edbian: Yeah but moving from sata to sata i should be getting more around 5mb+ [17:12] Wiesshund: there both sata [17:12] Sary, amd64 is 64-bit architecture. amd invented it hence the name. Both intel and amd processors that are 64 bit are called "amd64" [17:12] PATA? [17:12] jrib: sorry i didn't get that ! [17:13] Sary: it's all about the amount of ram you have, not the cpu so much [17:13] corpsegrindr, Do you mean 5mb+ per second? [17:13] trojan_spike: pata = ide [17:13] jrib: Aha , got you [17:13] edbian: yes [17:13] Dulak: 3gb RAM [17:14] hi [17:14] hello [17:14] Hi all, whenever I go full screen on MPlayer or VLC, the video freezes but the audio doesn't for a few seconds...any ideas? [17:14] Sary: as an example, on a 2gig laptop, x64 runs much worse for me than 32bit, but with 8g ram, x64 smokes [17:14] jrib, here's the pastbin - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/hVWCuuiW [17:15] 32it platform runs up to 2.5 GB of ram [17:15] I've got a fresh box, I just put apache on it, and now the HDD is 100% used. How can I check what files are using the storage? [17:15] Sary: less than 4gig you should prolly just stick with the 32 bit version, unless you have a specific need for 64 bit [17:15] Basically, I need a small bit of bash to list the biggest files on the whole system [17:15] where as 64bit runs higher [17:15] razz1: now what error are you getting and how? [17:15] Anyone? [17:15] trojan_spike: 3.6g approx, depends on chipset/bios [17:15] corpsegrindr, Ohh, you're right. Testing on my debian system sata to pata drive I'm getting about 25Mb/second [17:15] trojan_spike, pin versus serial [17:15] pata is pin sata is serial [17:15] serial as in card connector [17:16] Dulak: Thanks a bunch .. you just saved my day ;) [17:16] corpsegrindr, What's your processor like?

You can't double the minimum size of an address and use less ram, it's almost impossible. [17:22] tavish, Then you don't have the iso mounted. [17:22] metalgeek, that page reads as: What should I choose - 32 or 64 bit?

[17:23] corpsegrindr, yeah you should see much better results [17:23] webPragmatist: well for funzies it can be whatever you want I guess [17:23] abhijit, Sorry [17:23] metalgeek, :) [17:23] tavish, How did you mount the .iso ?? [17:23] metalgeek, go for 64 bit [17:24] Recommended so you'll find bugs, not recommended because it's the best option. [17:24] jrib: that doesn't really help me… the crontab file only has a line of configuration… it doesn't seem logical for it to be executable [17:24] edbian: from nautilus [17:24] tavish, go to /media [17:24] webPragmatist: ask your real question instead of being so ambiguous [17:24] tavish, Is there a folder in there containing your iso?

[18:22] metalgeek: check if its 64bit [18:23] 64 [18:23] metalgeek: that's what determines it, the rest is moot [18:23] ActionParsnip, Hi, I believe so [18:23] metalgeek: netbooks are atom cpus these days and those are recently supporting 64bit [18:23] ActionParsnip, Just looking it up now [18:23] metalgeek: then you can run 64bit [18:23] god dammit [18:23] it'll be all haw haw you cant run this pretty quick in the boot process anyways [18:23] it runs like crap on a netbook [18:24] 32 bit runs much better [18:24] metalgeek: if you try running the 64bit install cd and the chip is only 32bit, it'll tell you [18:25] Dulak: 64bit will outperform 32bit in data intensive situations like data transformations and sql etc [18:25] RespectTM http://www.builderau.com.au/program/dotnet/soa/Running-NET-on-Linux-with-DotGNU/0,339028399,339130565,00.htm [18:25] RespectTM maybe that may help? [18:25] Quick question... does anyone know where i can find information regarding using bind with active directory? [18:25] ActionParsnip, gonna try and do it from usb, but getting quite confused with the webpage help [18:26] After a recent update to kernel in my Ubuntu 10.04, my ethernet is not getting detected.

[18:26] metalgeek: use your windows system to make the usb. Pendrivelinux has a universal app to put the iso on usb. Or you can use unetbootin [18:26] ActionParsnip: doesn't change the fact that for day-to-day client stuff it runs like crap compared to 32 bit on the same netbook. I installed 64 bit first and even just watching video was like a slideshow. 32 bit and everything is smooth as silk [18:26] is it possible to run Windows Live Messenger on Ubuntu? [18:27] ActionParsnip, I keep seeing that, is that the best way? [18:27] Docteh: thanks for recommending to snag the first 1m off each drive [18:27] Dulak: you have a netbook that runs 64 bit? [18:27] compressed nicely; it's going onto the bug report [18:27] Dulak: day to day stuff, maybe. Never had an issue here with video but I always uise nvidia so I have no issues :) [18:27] metalgeek: there is no best way [18:27] Illac_: acer d150 [18:27] cool, will give a try, Thanks all Bye [18:28] metalgeek: there is no best anything in life [18:28] Dulak: I didn't think they even had 64bit netbooks :/... unless you're running more than 2 gigs of RAM I doubt you'll see better performance from 64 [18:28] frxstrem: amsn or emesene [18:28] intel atom processor is x64 yea? [18:29] jp73036: I didn't think it was [18:29] jp73036: there is a 64bit version, yes [18:29] philinux: note that I said Windows Live Messenger, not any eqivalents of it [18:29] thought so [18:29] the new ones are all 64bit capable afaik [18:29] frxstrem: virtual box [18:29] it runs badly though [18:29] anyone intimately familiar with Bind and Active Directory? :D i'm having all kinds of issues [18:29] frxstrem: check out wine appdb website [18:30] Atom 330 is 64bit [18:30] frxstrem: it may run in wine, check the appdb [18:30] yep.. i'm going to be building a low power consumption linux server box with one soon as i find a decent place to get parts hehe [18:30] ubuntufreak, Did you /etc/network/interfaces file get corrupted?

[18:34] oops, its houldve go to offtopic [18:34] jp73036: could just use one with 2 logical software adapters. [18:34] G0dGrind: You mean your ip like 192.168.0. ? [18:35] I mean I want to change it to any ip I want. [18:35] well i need 2 physical if i'm going the ClearOS route [18:35] Hi all! I have a really strange and annoying problem. I have downloaded and build a new driver module for my on board network interface card. The module is placed in /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko and is of version 1.2.8, but still the OS loads the old driver (v1.0.2) at boot time and I have to make a rmmod and then an insmod to make it use the proper driver!! How do I fix this, it boggles m [18:35] I'm not sur to understand, your public IP ? [18:35] i don't claim to be any kind of *nix expert.. heh.. i'm somewhere in the middle [18:35] chococa: you should look in information on the 'framebuffer' you can change settings if using the framebuffer with the fbset and some other commands. [18:35] chococa: follow guides for bad resolution in plymouth under proprietary video drivers, it will show how to enable framebuffer which will make the text smaller [18:35] yes. I want it so that people who look for me will find my fake it [18:36] my public ip to get onto the Internet. [18:36] ok, thank you [18:36] G0dGrind: proxy. [18:36] hey there, can anyone please tell me how much space does open arena occupy in the disk? [18:36] ubuntu-es [18:36] is their a good ip soofer for Ubuntu ;-) [18:36] asig, type /j #ubuntu-es [18:36] chococa: to change the resolution you have to use the framebuffer, which you said was laggy which is why I had you go to the normal console. You can't have it both ways unfortunately [18:36] ups, sorry [18:36] proxies are go slow. [18:36] !info openarena-data [18:36] openarena-data (source: openarena-data): OpenArena game data.

[18:37] wolfbiker: looks like over 300+mb [18:37] koshie: it is a program that lets you use any ip you want. [18:37] G0dGrind, that is the funniest thing I've read ever. [18:37] I see.

[18:38] wolfbiker: but i think if you run synaptic it will tell you how much it will take [18:38] G0dGrind uh i dont think anyone is going to help you with that since doing that usualy involves you trying to do something bad and not get caught [18:38] lol [18:38] how do you guys sync config files between your different computers etc? [18:38] G0dGrind: what have you got to hide [18:38] G0dGrind, there is no such thing as a "IP Spoofer" that lets you use "Any IP you want" [18:38] how do I take a parameter into an alias?

I have my images in the right places, and I modded the appropriate files, and still have a black background. [18:54] hello [18:54] What is STUN server? [18:54] And where can I find that? [18:54] IMO if you buy a laptop and install Ubuntu to it, it works fine and even better than when you had windows on it but somehow a least with my laptop i noticed that performance became an issue, in fact I am downgrading to ubunut Karmic [18:55] Dulak: I blacklisted vga16fb, commented the blacklist for the sis driver(i have a sis vid card) and re-enabled the framebuff... now it works as it should [18:55] no more big fonts or slow updating [18:55] Thanks again though [18:55] letas, that doesnt surprise me...with some of the new implimentations on lucid many people have one or more issues [18:55] besogon, stunserver.org ?

DDC don't work [18:57] there should be some sort of png or background related command available to you [18:57] #ownlinux [18:57] letas, well if you download and burn the minimal install cd you will have many options but I prefer Edubuntu on most machines because it far out performs ubuntu or kubuntu and certainly way better performance than if you installed kde onto an existing ubuntu install [18:57] Docteh, png command? Do you mean background_image= ? [18:58] besogon: there proberly a router config, or irc client config you can do to tweak that.. but ive not used that D cc type feature of irc in years. [18:58] I need some help with LIRC [18:58] letas, edubuntu comes with both kde and gnome libraries and i prefer the edubuntu desktop which is gnome [18:58] Im looking in there now. How do you run gconfig-editor? [18:58] lostinspace_46: dunno, grub 1 or 2? [18:58] esarandon: elaborate on the problem a bit more. You have checked the numerous lirc config web sites/wiki pages and forum posts? [18:59] JennaNV, in terminal gconf-editor [18:59] I need to setup my RC ir, from HP [18:59] coz_ I will give it a try tonight - the way i set up my linux box i can install any new distro without losing data... [18:59] ok, that's what I thought, thanks [18:59] JennaNV, or alt+F2 gconf-editor [18:59] I found the codes on the lirc web [18:59] and if it is a debian based distro I can even automate the program installation [18:59] but I dont know if i need to add that info to the file lirc.conf or create a new one? [18:59] Docteh, grub screen says grub 1.98...and from what I've read it works like grub2 [19:00] esarandon: try making a new one . see if it works. [19:00] lostinspace_46: type in the grub prompt background_image /your/file like no = sign [19:00] the grub prompt when you're booting, not the prompt you can get while in linux [19:00] i did, but now when i try to replace the lirc.conf with the new one I can not do it [19:00] how's the zune support coming on ubuntu? [19:01] I had a device a while back that used libmtp [19:01] kind of badly, but it worked in a majority of cases [19:01] is that still the case?

[19:06] metaperl, `which env` [19:06] ok [19:07] I'm running lucid, and ran into a strange problem. I went to install Mint Isadora on my 10GB utility partition to give her a spin at a friend of mine's request, the Mint install broke my grub2, I'm thinking because the partition was near the end of my drive and my bios probably can't read past 137GB. So I deleted the mint partition, removed grub2, installed regular grub from the lucid repos, ran grub-install on hd0,0, but i [19:07] still get grub recovery when i try to boot and even if I setprefix and setroot manually, it wants to specify them at hd0,6. There is no 0,6 on my HD. Any ideas? [19:07] karlo: it should be quick, if you make a list [19:07] leifw thanks... ithought it would be in /bin [19:07] that I gonna make now :D [19:07] jukebox-zero: try grub 0.98 [19:08] J3ckyl, hey thanks for your kind help its working fine now :) === j_baer is now known as J_baer [19:08] magicianlord the legacy, will do... What also concerns me is I never saw grub recovery until grub2 so it gives me the impression apt isn't removing it completely, and I'm not sure why.

[20:40] J11, see tee i believe [20:40] 53 is priviledged udp port? [20:40] so sudo should only be needed for the first command [20:40] usacomputertec: i was just curiouis because all the ones i work on. use windows pc's for a 'front end' to the speciak CNC programing language the machines use to define the part-cutting-program. Ive not seen any that use linux [20:40] Dr_Willis are you sure? I think the Cricut uses the same technology but these artsy women who use them don't know how to hack. [20:41] how to reg? [20:41] MBG1987: read what ubottu told you [20:41] usacomputertec: a multi million doller CNC drill to make engine blocks is not the 'same technology' as a fancy paper cutter. :) [20:41] Dr_willis check this out: http://www.offworld.com/2009/04/video-laser-cutter-plays-super.html [20:41] i hav installed tomcat but not able to see startup message like server is starting [20:41] usacomputertec: i want a '3d' printer :) but have no use for it.

[20:43] does anyone know of a good admin web interface for svn? [20:44] wasutton3: the svn/subeversion channel would know better [20:44] Dr_Willis my main problem is I can't find anyone online who is trying to do anything with the cricut other than a lady who uses different software.

[20:50] Um_cara_qualquer: you could do unzip '*.zip' that will extract all .zip archives.. its odd the game would be packaged uin such a way [20:50] Um_cara_qualquer: unless its one LARGE zip thats been split. Then you would join them to a big zip. then extarct it === undertuga is now known as und3rtug4 [20:51] why i got this message every time in metasploit: Exploit completed, but no session was created.

[20:53] "Trash-cli: command not found" BluesKaj [20:53] so does this mean that whatever website i go and wahtever files in download can be seen by the admin?

"uRock: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash" [20:54] Um_cara_qualquer, "for file in *.zip; do unzip $file; done" might work. good luck.

[20:59] Utrinqueparatus: did you install it through APT? [20:59] jrib: yes [20:59] Um_cara_qualquer: or use the gui and just extarct every file. (that would be annoying) [20:59] Utrinqueparatus: does it start when you run « sudo service apache2 start »? [20:59] jrib: how about the mail privacy? [20:59] hehe === euphorial is now known as Guest35429 [21:00] i'll try [21:00] blck: same. If you want privacy, use some sort of encryption I guess.

[21:01] !ot > acromat [21:01] acromat, please see my private message [21:01] acromat: ask /them/ [21:01] jrib: well for one, they say it has more support [21:01] NoiseEee, like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/469502/ [21:01] and that everything is 'wired wrong' in ubuntu [21:01] but i really like the colors in ubuntu [21:01] and the themes [21:02] acromat: colors and themes are trivial aspects. [21:02] acromat: ask them about specifics about "wired wrong". Tell them to point to bug reports [21:02] but themes affect your life ya know [21:02] can somebody help me setting up raid in the disk utility [21:02] acromat: see the #ubuntu-offtopic channel for more discussion on the topic.

It's a real pain in the ass that file.jpg is different from File.JPG. :/ [21:04] i mean a command [21:04] frog: that would run every minute :/ [21:04] frog: you are using the 'sleep' command in an inittab? thats a little. odd. [21:05] oops not inittab.. cron. :) [21:05] how do i start cron>? [21:05] i dont see it in program-files [21:05] Dr_Willis: how can i run something every 10 seconds? [21:05] acromat: crontab -l [21:05] hoyl shit. wtf [21:05] ym: easy answer.. you DONT disable filename case sensitivity. [21:05] crontab -e [21:05] im running ubuntu in vmware [21:05] Dr_Willis: are you really a doctor [21:05] frog: make a script that does it. and launch it from rc.local [21:05] acromat: this is your first and only warning to stop [21:05] illac_: but wheres the icon [21:05] acromat: i got my Degree in 'Loveology' [21:05] frog: the real question is; why you need that run every ten seconds ?

[21:09] yeah acromat [21:09] I cant figure out how to mount my ubuntu harddrive (im using a live cd) I recieve a bad superblock error. Can I force mount it or anything? [21:10] zack1: a bad superblock error = the filesystem is currupted. and needs to be fscked/scaned/fixed. [21:10] zack1: have you passed a fsck looking for errors ? [21:11] zack1, bad superblock could also mean your trying to mount the wrong location, do you see your HD with "sudo fdisk -l"? [21:11] Dr_Willis: how do i run the fsck? [21:11] can someone link me to help/ [21:11] !fsck | zack1 [21:11] zack1: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:12] zykotick: yes i see it [21:12] !tab > zack1 [21:12] zack1, please see my private message [21:12] zack1: 'sudo fsck /dev/sdXX where XX = the proper info for your filesystem [21:12] zack1: gparted can pass a fsck. is the check option [21:12] thanks BluesKaj [21:12] In 10.4 is the login screen installer removed?

[21:15] * Dr_Willis is assuming some 'game' that comes in 40+ zip archives with file_id.diz files is warez... [21:16] and badly done warez at that. [21:16] Dr_Willis, you assume correctly [21:16] need a recommendation for a laptop for Ubuntu 10.4... 13 or 14" screen, Nvidia graphics, decent processor, lightweight. Its for my daughter for school. Any suggestions? [21:16] Um_cara_qualquer: now is a good time tolearn about the 'clamav' virus scanner program in linux. [21:16] k0d3g3ar: i have a lenovo t410; it's pretty nice. [21:16] k0d3g3ar: watch the sale papers. thats what ive been doing. [21:17] hmm [21:17] for mounting points, is ext3 or 4 better for /, swap, and /boot [21:17] Dr_Willis, why's that? [21:17] shell-fu: swap has its own filesystem. ext4 may be a little faster.. /boot/ could be ext3. proberly wont matter. [21:17] shell-fu, could you rephrase your question? mount point are independent of file system. [21:17] shell-fu: swap doesn't have a filesystem, and boot is usually small enough that you won't see much advantage either way === emc_ is now known as emc [21:17] AndyGraybeal, bit pricey for me, I'm afraid. Trying to keep it < $500 if posisble [21:17] Um_cara_qualquer: when getting software from questiionable sources.. scan for viruses..

[21:18] Dell stopped selling Ubuntu on there web site :( [21:18] AndyGraybeal: Itsz all about whats on sale that week :) for me. [21:18] AndyGraybeal, k, thanks. All good with Ubuntu? [21:18] Dr_Willis, actually it is a windows game... but i find easier to extract and do all this stuff in ubuntu... f*** shitdows :) [21:18] What does the Ubuntu DVD contain that the CD installer doesn't? [21:19] E.g. this: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ [21:19] rockets, just more packages be default i believe [21:19] rockets: more languages mainly. so normally its not needed [21:19] I dont think any actual more 'packages' then the normal cd. [21:19] hello, how do i remove "link to" so that new links don't have that. windows got rid of it in xp, this is soo not needed. [21:19] Dr_Willis, oh alright, so no need for it then. [21:19] k0d3g3ar: i can't say, it depends, i'd do research before getting it; find out what model you want and do google search 'ubuntu laptop model number' or 'linux laptop model number' but you probably know that. [21:19] And I really could just install the languages later if I ever needed them. Which I never will. [21:19] you cant really get a virus unl;ess your really wanting one, put even then, ,only wine that i know of, its so you an use windows programs [21:20] hylian: the only time i notice a 'link to..' in the name. is when an identical named thing allready exists.. let me double check [21:21] hylian: yep. I drag/drop select link to.. -> it only adds link to.. IF the filename is allredy in the directory.. [21:21] Dr_Willis right but how can you create a link in another place other than where the link's native resides? i only know of the right click and "make link" method [21:21] hylian: ln -s onething otherthing [21:21] hey all :) anyone know a way to disable text under icons on the gnome desktop? [21:21] hylian: i just click, drag. hold down alt key... let go.. :) [21:21] Dr_Willis i will try that [21:21] need help making script for empathy notification. water ripples. only when receiving IM or focus lost... [21:22] hylian: the 'alt' key ussag in the file manager is often overlooked. [21:22] Dr_Willis, thx for the help man [21:23] anyone got a clue on my question? anyone know a way to disable text under icons on the gnome desktop? [21:23] alt grabs the entire window. and just drag and drop makes a copy, not a link === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [21:24] what're you asking hylian? [21:24] Does anyone know how to fix the cursor bug in Ubuntu 10.04? I got it to work over desktop, but it flip-flopped and doesn't want to work over Firefox and a few select applications. [21:25] i'm trying to make a link to some documents without it always adding "link to xyz.doc" [21:25] BansheeKing, I read a post on ubuntuforums about that... try searching there [21:25] Okay, thanks. Appreciate the help. [21:25] in other words i just want it to say "xyz.doc" not 'link to' [21:26] hylian: right click, rename it? o.O or do you mean, by default? [21:26] BansheeKing, i think if you disable compiz your cursor will work as designed [21:26] i mean by default, because i might be making a mass amount of links here. [21:26] aah [21:26] bit harder then [21:26] what is ls -l [21:26] would command line be ok? [21:26] ridin, list long [21:27] why would ubuntu add what msft realized 10 years ago was a bad idea? [21:27] ridin: ls lists files, -l is an option [21:27] ridin, more accurately "list long form" or "list detailed" === homer is now known as Guest69285 [21:27] hylain what do you mean [21:27] ok, thanks [21:27] hi yall [21:28] dustin i want to make links to documents without it adding "link to (name of document).doc" all the time [21:28] hylian: ln TARGET NAME or ln TARGET DIRECTORY [21:28] hylian: from command line [21:28] türkçe konuşabilen var mı [21:28] @ridin LS Command: http://sernaonubuntu.wikidot.com/command-line:ls [21:28] hylian, certainly using ln from command line doesn't add the "link to..." part [21:29] but without console, in otherwords, gui please. [21:29] hylian, rename them after [21:29] maybe ill add this to the ubuntu forums, under the wish list thingy. [21:29] hylian: well, if you either take a popup window in windows or a default name in ubuntu, both are annoying [21:29] can you screen record it, so i know what you mean? [21:30] ZykoticK9, renaming 1003 documents afterwards is a pain. [21:30] hylian: because it can't go same folder, same name [21:30] hylian, 1000+ links, really? why? [21:30] Is there a wow ubuntu channel ? [21:30] thetabyte, how can i make a link in another folder then? all i know is right click in the same folder, click make link [21:30] hylian: whatever you're doing theres a better way, what're you doing? [21:30] frankbro, if you looking for WOW ie warcradft info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [21:31] Is there a way to use dd to copy an entire directory into a .img [21:31] ZykoticK9: Yea, I have it running, I just have a specific question and I can't find an answer with google [21:31] Guest95441, dd is not a filesystem copy so i doubt it does "directories" [21:31] hylian: ln -s linkname /path/to/target [21:31] 1003 docs on storage drive, where they must remain, i would like them to be accessible via my documents folder given to me by the lord high chancellor unbutu community / canonical :) [21:32] frankbro, ask here or in #winehq (or similar) [21:32] Are there any packages available in the respositories for throughly formatting and cleaning a thumbdrive [21:32] someone wanna write hylian a shell script that will do it instantly? [21:32] need help writing script for water ripple notification in empathy!! [21:32] ohh, and as i stated before, i ouwld like to do this minus the non gui situation [21:32] hylian: just make a symlink to the directory, not each specific file [21:32] need tech support about external hard disk recovery [21:32] frankbro, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft ? [21:33] c3l, +1 frankbro [21:33] hylian: you WANT to use a gui, well im off [21:33] c3l is right hylian [21:33] no, no shell scripts, if it currently cant be done via gui methds, just say so. i can live without. [21:33] link the directory not the files [21:33] frankbro, and there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft/Troubleshooting ofcourse [21:33] Hi every one [21:33] hylian: follow me now, exactly where do you have all your files that you want to link? [21:34] thanx for all the help guys! I do very much appreciate it, it's half the reason msft can kiss my, er nevermind. [21:34] Ok, we'll wow runs fine. The only problem I have is that when I login, the game might crash, It's not happening every time. Even if wine close it, a wow.exe us stuck in the process manager, even if I kill it. Sometimes I have to open wow about 3 times before the login process actually goes through. Anyone heard of that ? [21:34] hylian: you wont have to do any shellscripts, just one short command, ill show you [21:34] frankbro, if regular kill fails try with -9, so "killall -9 wow.exe" might work [21:35] frankbro, try running in terminal and posting the result on ubuntforums or wineforums... [21:35] frankbro: have you read the ubuntuwiki for wow? [21:35] frankbro, has not happened to me, I usually use 'wineserver -k' to kill it if it's not responding for some reason === abhinay_ is now known as abhinay [21:35] frankbro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [21:35] I have installed kubuntu-desktop how can I take away the splash for kubuntu (NOT KDM) with update alternatives? [21:35] hylian, if you absolutely have to use the gui, use the "make link" option in nautilus for the folder (directory) rather than each file and rename that link. [21:36] i think im gonna ask for that feature to be considered, since it's really not neccessary. or you should be given that option with copy-paste like windows [21:36] But the fact that it crashes only about half of the time is what is weird, I think it has something to do with how my processor or memory is used. It tends to crash more when I'm using a lot of the computer's ressources [21:36] Is there a plugin for gedit that allows syntax highlighting? [21:36] any help with xbmc here? i keep getting kicked from that channel as soon as i join for no reason. [21:36] specifically C syntax [21:37] hylian: Ill help, you I'm just not clear on what your problem is, please explain. (we could take it in pm if this is cluttery) [21:37] If it helps, I have seen syntax highlighting in gedit in the past, so I am sure that it exists. [21:37] frankbro, try testing you RAM with memcheck, that often leads to crashes [21:37] nisstyre65, gedit comes with syntax highlighting [21:37] Can somebody please help me with these burner-related kernel traps from 2.6.32-22-generic? I don't know what to make of them - what do they mean? http://pastebin.com/jKKJZJQr [21:37] c3l i simply want to be able to make a link, without link to. thats all. [21:37] maybe my version wasn't built with it [21:37] oh wait [21:37] nevermind, I found it [21:38] hylian: "a link, without link to"? [21:38] hylian: whats the purpose of this? [21:38] hylian: btw, a link isnt a link if its not pointing at something, then its just a file or w/e [21:38] c3l when i link a document, it says "link to document" i simply want it to say document. in other words, - the 'link to' [21:39] does anyone know how to break a movie iso? i have the think already, i want to change it to the best file format,crossplatform and an option for ubuntu [21:39] hylian, (c3l, too) If you want the gui, you'll have the "link to ..." similar to windows when using nautilus. If you don't want that drop to the command line (it's not that hard). [21:39] hello people [21:39] how's life? [21:39] Hi [21:39] sjm ms got rid of that in xp service pack 1a. a long time ago. [21:39] hylian, try learning commandline the basic commands aren't even hard... [21:39] hi [21:39] okay, so you have a folder containing files you want to link to? and you dont want to move the folder (why?) but you want to access it from your ~/Documents? [21:39] I use Gentoo Linux. Life is nice. [21:39] Anyone still running 9.04 (jaunty) ? [21:40] hylian, c3l has given you the command line command to run (I think) to create all 1000 links in one command without the "link to..." [21:40] They use that at my university. [21:40] how do i troubleshoot tftpd-hpa on lucid? the tftp client givse me no feedback [21:40] In the research lab in which I do stuff. [21:40] piyrw,which one [21:40] sjm: he seems new to it, scared of the terminal. we need to take it slow with him :) [21:41] you research "stuff", must be some lab, srk9 [21:41] lorenz if i have to go into command just to make something as simple as a link, if just defeated the whole purpose of the gui, to have a at your fingertips solution. dont worry about it guys, i can muttle through, not a big deal, just thought maybe there was a simple switch somewhere that would solve this. [21:41] c3l: Send him to #gentoo to learn how to install Gentoo Linux. He will get over his fear of the terminal if he suceeds in installing it. [21:41] What does #ubuntu think of my desktop? Four conky scripts (three mine), two python scripts (one mine) :) Credit is in photo and label :) http://twitpic.com/28yagk/full [21:41] BluesKaj: I am doing undergraduate research. It is not much. Just some power measurements that a professor wanted done. [21:41] thetabyte: That should belong in #ubuntu-offtopic. [21:41] dustin: The 32bit gnome desktop version (although I don't use gnome). [21:42] hylian, this is linux and not windows... you could try making a script [21:42] hylian: youre missing the point, the terminal IS THE SIMPLEST WAY, a gui is just a frontend to the terminal commands. a gui is often worthless, i never use one now when Ive learned to do stuff the easy and fast way. [21:42] 1` Gentoo Linux [21:42] Scripts are hard. It is easier to just do terminal commands. [21:42] hylian, the command line is a powerful tool that you should get to know. the gui is for simple stuff. What you want to do (approx 1000 links) is not "simple". one command in the terminal and you're done to go do other stuff. Try it, you might like it. [21:42] Unless you need to do the same thing over and over again. [21:42] srk9: haha, it might scare him away too ;) [21:43] okay :) [21:43] lorenz, it doesnt matter that this is linux, no matter what os this is, something like this should either be not supported, (ubuntu) or be a in gui option, (windows). It's not a big deal. [21:43] c3l: Well, the alternative is Mac OS X. [21:43] thanks io :) [21:43] this ubuntu support , gentoo is for bragging rights :) [21:43] dustin: some recent updates to firefox have screwed up the fonts, and I'm not sure if its firefox or jaunty-specific... [21:43] thetabyte: No problem, nice though. :-) [21:43] srk9: why not just use ubuntu? I guess Im missing your point [21:43] how do I probe the hardware on my computer? [21:44] usacomputertec: define "probe" [21:44] c3l: I think the idea was to make someone learn how to use the terminal. [21:44] usacomputertec, lspci? /proc/cpuinfo? free? [21:44] usacomputertec: udev does that for you [21:44] erUSUL I want to know everything about every chipset, driver, manufacturer [21:44] i have noe fear of using the terminal when it's called for. when it is not, and i need to use the terminal for little dinky things, like, ohh, making a link, then i ofcoarse try and avoid it. [21:44] If my firefox fonts for some sites look like this: http://imagebin.ca/view/MXG4FNl.html anyone know what the fix is? [21:44] hylian: lorenz no scripts is needed, just one short command to link the whole folder to his documents [21:44] Not much from the terminal is required for a Ubuntu Linux installation. [21:45] c3l im trying not to do what you just mentioned. if that was what i wanted, i would never have logged on. [21:45] how do I lspci to a text file [21:45] usacomputertec: lshw-gtk; sysinfo; in terminal « sudo lshw | less » lshw can generate an html file to view in a browser [21:45] usacomputertec: lspci > text.file [21:45] hylian: okay, tell me why you want to do it with your GUI. [21:45] hylian, c3l, if you don't want to link the folder, the command is only slightly longer and you have links to all the documents in the folder. [21:46] c3l all i wanted to know was if i could make the default not say "link to" that't it, that's all. [21:46] usacomputertec: lspci >> lspci.txt [21:46] hylian, you login to IRC because you want to fix a problem you have... if you dont want to fix it the WAY other people do then go use google [21:46] hylian: What is the default? [21:46] * erUSUL enjoying the storm in a teacup [21:46] hylian: Actually, for what is "link to" the default? [21:47] srk9 the default is "link to doc.doc" i want it to by default just say doc.doc. and i come here to aska question for which i found no help for in google. [21:47] srk9, its like shortcut to* in windows [21:47] Where are you reading "link to doc.doc"? [21:47] can you make a parition table inside a partion? [21:47] srk9 when i make a link. [21:47] srk9, in the menu of nautilus, there's a "make a link" option that creates a link that has "link to..." in the name of the link [21:47] hylian: you wouldnt have that concern if you did it the easy way :) also it might be a limitaiton in nautilus or which ever file manager youre using. it says link infront of it because guis are often made to be simple for those who are scared of the terminal. if you want controll, go to the terminal, else stick with what is and use the GUI :) [21:47] partition** [21:47] shell-fu: no. [21:48] c3l, great speach [21:48] hylian... What does this link you make do? I do not use GNOME, so I need it spelled out for me. [21:48] hylian: the default is there for a reason. you can't have a file named "doc.doc" and a symlink named "doc.doc" in the same directory. without the default, the menu entry simply wouldn't work [21:48] c3l it's really no big deal. i can make links just find, and rename them all by myself. i was just looking for a possible function i couldnt find. dont worry about it :) [21:49] hylian: that sounds like it's from a nautilus script? you could probably change the nautilus script :) [21:49] hylian: it has to have the "link to" because it can not be two files with the same name in the same folder [21:49] hylian: as simple as that [21:49] hylian: well there is ofc a sulution, go change the source code for your file manager. (or as previously stated, use the obious solution :D ) [21:49] hylian, you're really asking a nautilus question rather than a linux/ubuntu question. [21:49] is there a way to make a link from a document in another folder besides where the document resides/ [21:50] hylian, sure from command line ;) [21:50] hylian: ln -s /path/to/link /path/to/target [21:50] hylian: Dr_Willis; eons ago; told you how [21:50] hylian, go ask further questions about the GUI in nautilus related forums/IRC chanels... maybe they can help you [21:50] c3l, do you have any idea why he does not just do that if a symlink is what he wanted to make? [21:51] hylian: press alt + drag the file [21:51] if i try to adjust the volume above halfway, i get speaker crackle. i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa but they both did it [21:51] hylian: hold down alt while you drag the icon from one folder to another. when dropped, it'll pop up a menu offering you more choices than just copy [21:51] c3l: * "ln -s /path/to/target /path/to/link" [21:51] may be a picture will help us to solve that funny situation with link [21:51] thanx guys, but i really dont want to type /path/to/target (/media/Storage/documents/*.doc) everytime i want to make a link, see? easy is the idea, not hard, aye? [21:51] hylian, you have hard and easy confused. [21:51] shauno thank you! thats what i was looking for! [21:51] hylian, just drag the file into the terminal [21:51] hylian, could your adversion to using the command prompt be the result of an inability to type quickly? [21:51] nautilus extensions scripts вon't ? [21:51] srk9: newcomers from the dark side are often stubborn and wants to do it the way they did it before (then why change..) [21:51] hylian, GUI is the hard way in most cases ;) [21:51] hylian, for file in /path/to/files/; do ln -s /path/to/link/$file /path/to/file/$file; done (or something very much like that. [21:51] hylian: anf links created that way do not have the "link to" in the name [21:52] does anyone find it ironic that a person with the nick hylian is having trouble with LINKs? [21:52] c3l: I thought windows did not support symbolic links. [21:52] hylian, type and press TAB [21:52] HYperlinks :) [21:52] is there anything like yojimbo for Ubuntu? [21:52] astra-x: waht is yojimbo ? [21:52] shauno gave me the answer, thank you! [21:52] Here is another question... Why does hylian have time to use IRC if he does not have time for the terminal? [21:52] srk9, shortcuts... ;) [21:52] erUSUL: http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/ [21:53] srk9: me too, I dont really know what he's refering to [21:53] here's a question. is ubuntu linux for human beings, or are we really just terminal elitists. [21:53] if i try to adjust the volume above halfway, i get speaker crackle. i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa but they both did it. my mac dual-boot can play sound much louder without problems [21:53] hylian: Dr_Willis eons ago and me just now did the same [21:53] hi [21:53] Does an IRC client exist that works inside a terminal? [21:53] shauno: the 2nd [21:53] * brummbaer nods at shauno [21:53] I am new to IRC, so I am ignorant of these things. :/ [21:53] i have a 4GB maxell pendrive with encryption when i start gparted with it connected gparted crashes [21:53] srk9: many [21:53] srk9: irssi, the besct client af them all (incl guis :) [21:53] srk9: there are plenty of them [21:54] does anyone know what i can do to format this drive? [21:54] yeah, i didn't realize, you had to press alt after leaving the window. so it would just drag around the window, instead of letting me drag and drop, my bad. [21:54] srk9, yeah the gui is to crowded ;) [21:54] srk9: irssi; weechat; bitchX .... [21:54] hello [21:54] Is irssi the best in everyone's opinion? [21:54] gawd i hope I'm not terminal , elitist [21:54] !best | srk9 [21:54] srk9: 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. [21:54] how do i install and use emerald themes? [21:54] srk9, i think so [21:54] varnish is at 2.1.0 which is a bit unstable, will 2.1.2 be backported or is there a way to get it? [21:54] !emerald > ridin [21:54] ridin, please see my private message [21:54] anybody know anything about speaker crackle?? [21:54] !emr [21:54] !emerald | ridin [21:54] ridin: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [21:55] Okay. I am installing irssi. Thanks for the tip. [21:55] shauno, probably most here use the power of the cli when appropriate and didn't know about your drag-n-drop solution. [21:55] !emerald | ridin [21:55] irssi will install as soon as it finishes compiling from source. :D [21:55] well thanx alot guys! I appreciate it. i use terminal a ton, but thats for things like changing file permissions, or fstab, or using apt-get, or for ssh-ing into a server. [21:55] hi, i use in bash cal > calendario; sed -n -e "2,7 p" calendario | cut -d" " -f1 and it show me only the 2 numbre's days, how can i fix it [21:55] oh dang ;x [21:56] hylian, file permissions can be done from inside a file manager window. [21:56] srk9: sudo apt-get install irssi why compiling? and yes, irssi is the best [21:56] srk9: tbh ive never seen anyone use another terminalbased irc client than irssi. (when trying it, dont get scared of, it is quite annoying at the start if not used to similar programs. but its well documented on its site) [21:56] !emerald [21:56] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [21:56] iceroot: I am running Gentoo Linux. It does not have a binary package. [21:56] srk9: #gentoo :) [21:56] iceroot: I am in #gentoo as well. [21:56] hello, i am new to ubuntu..... just installed Basic-256 for my son and it locks up after a couple of command lines. is there something i am doing wrong? [21:57] what can i say, i am oldschool terminal linux. but... i also like easy. i remember file perimssions, it's stuck, i dont remember all the codes... [21:57] I am new to IRC, so I am trying out a few different channels at once. [21:57] anybody know anything about speaker crackle?? [21:57] there are few people at #gentoo [21:57] entropia: cal | sed -n -e "2,7 p" | awk '{print $1}' [21:57] i have a directory in 666 mode [21:57] entropia: cut is too "rigid" [21:57] devin, could be dirty volume ctrls [21:57] c3l: thanks for the information. I have it installed now, so I will try it out in a bit. [21:57] but when i cd to it...it says permission denied [21:57] thanks erUSUL [21:58] BluesKaj, what do you mean by that? [21:58] please help [21:58] pk__, directories need to be executable for you to enter them. [21:58] I just have to ask while youre talking of gentoo, whats the point of not havin binaries? it just takes extra time, and I've never had the need to change something before installing (maybe im just not aware of the goodness in it..) [21:58] entropia: also; as you saw; you do not need a file [21:58] k [21:58] so people, is the are graphical tool to add other OSs to the grub? [21:58] exactly what I said, devin ,,you weren't specific about what you are trying to do [21:58] srk9: the #irssi is good too for help, anyways gl :) [21:58] c3l: The reason is because binaries restrict what you can do with software. [21:59] *there a* :/ [21:59] c3l: thanks. I will try that. [21:59] worked thanx [21:59] does anyone know where i can find help for gparted [21:59] okay guys, i got a 640GB raid array - i would like it to house /srv and /home -- what is the recommended way to do this? i would prefer not to split it up into different partitions and keep it one big partition. [21:59] !gparted [21:59] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [21:59] srk9: I can still easily get the sourceif I want in ubuntu, but mostly I never have too [21:59] BluesKaj, i was specific earlier, so here it is again: if i turn the volume up past halfway, i get speaker crackle in linux, but not in the macOSX partition, and i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa and they both did it [21:59] srk9: binaries are only restrictive if they're the only option. you're free to apt-get source package on sensible distros too. it's just considered sane not to *have* to [21:59] HomingHamster here is the manual, but you probably need mor ehelp? http://gparted.sourceforge.net/docs/help-manual/C/gparted.html [22:00] devin, what sound card/ [22:00] hylian, i just asked and didn't get a respose so i was looking for a help room === root is now known as Guest98649 [22:00] erUSUL, how can i do it whithout a file [22:00] entropia: i just showed you [22:01] HomingHamster did that help at all? [22:01] entropia: do you see any file in my command line [22:01] ? [22:01] erUSUL, i see, thanks again [22:01] !grub [22:01] 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. [22:01] c3l: Anyway, with binaries, you have quite a few things chosen for you. Large pieces of software typically have different build options. Those build options turn on and off different features. Sometimes they control the selection of multiple mutually exclusive features. You need to compile from source to get them. By having an OS that always compiles from source, you can get the best of both worlds, because it needs to be designed [22:01] to handle that sort of thing. Gentoo Linux has this concept of USE flags that handles these sorts of features. It is not perfect, but at the same time, manipulating them can allow you to remove entire dependency chains from your system and alter multiple packages at once. [22:01] BluesKaj, i'm not sure but ALSA says Realtek ALC889A [22:01] !grub2 [22:01] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

[22:36] i'm using ubuntu 10.04 [22:36] devin: well is harder to pick what options to use i guess [22:37] there a lot of articles 'bout skype [22:37] any suggestions or solutions? [22:37] or assistance [22:37] online: is your mic muted at all, are you using a 64bit ubuntu? [22:37] help please! [22:37] yes [22:37] you neуd to add some words in congig file [22:38] erUSUL i also found MacBook 3,1 maybe i should go with that one because it's more likely the older model would be the same? [22:38] peripher4l: its better to nicely rephrase/clariofy your question - instead of just going 'please help' [22:38] devin: you can try that and some of the generic ones [22:38] PinkBunny, you need to blacklist the startup of modules rt2x00usb [22:38] rt2x00lib [22:38] rt2800usb [22:38] so they don't conflict with rt2870sta [22:38] erUSUL, thanks alot for your help :) [22:38] sjm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:38] PinkBunny: no problem [22:38] !sound | online [22:38] online: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [22:38] Dr_Willis: sorry, it's just i posted my question four times already... How can you make grub ignore a corrupted hard drive? [22:38] online: do you use a creative audigy sound card? [22:39] no [22:39] sjm, Am new to this so alittle more a little slower please [22:39] online: good, that helps a LOT [22:39] devin: I believe the soundcard in macbook 4,1 is almost identical to macbook 3,1; this may aid your search [22:39] peripher4l: from what i know.. grub shouldent be getting affected by a Currupted ntfs at all. [22:39] peripher4l: so perhaps clarify what its doing and how. [22:40] online, "lspci | grep -i audio" [22:40] Dr_Wills: It keeps returning a "DRDY_ERROR" or something similar, and won't boot. [22:40] online this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=353053 [22:40] PinkBunny, you will need to edit a configuration file or two. can you pastebin the output of "lsmod | grep rt" please? [22:40] peripher4l: What keeps returning that and when/where ? [22:40] peripher4l: that are errors from the sata/pata driver and can mean a dying hard drive loose cables etc depending on the exact wording of the errors [22:40] I have an external hard drive which I do not have RW permissions on. In GParted it shows as "unknown file system" and I can't seem to use chown on it. It was originally used on an OSX machine. Any ideas as to how I could change the permissions without formating the drive? [22:41] peripher4l, ( Dr_Willis ) did you try setting the BIOS to boot from USB? [22:41] Dr_Willis: When I boot from my flash drive, the Ubuntu "slider bar" moves back and forth (9.04), but after a while, the terminal appears and keeps returning the DRDY_error [22:41] peripher4l: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [22:41] sjm, http://pastebin.com/Rn2zZNii [22:41] ennui, not sure - but i don't think linux has native support for mac file systems, thus "unknown file system". I doubt it's a permission issue. [22:42] if igo search ican see just ALSA [22:42] ennui: I believe if the filesystem has journalling enabled, write support isn't provided by the driver. If you still have access to an osx machine, you can disable journalling non-destructively [22:42] ennui is it in an apple format? or ext 3-4 or ntfs? (maybe i mean what was it?) [22:42] peripher4l: if you see teh ubuntu anuimation.. its past Grub.. so your question is basically wrong. Grub is not being affected.. ubuntu ,or somthing else is.. === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [22:42] peripher4l: you are trying to recvover information from that ntfs disk? or what exactly? [22:43] Dr_Willis: My Friend dropped his laptop, so I'm trying to recover his data... [22:43] shauno: I went into OSX and, with disk utility, disabled journaling on this drive so i don't think thats the problem at the moment [22:43] online: thats as much as I know. Ive never had a single sound issue [22:43] online: does the mic work in other apps? [22:43] peripher4l: i would suggest putting the drive into a usb enclosuer. booting up a ubuntu system, and trying to 'dd' the drive to a image file. then recvover from that image file [22:43] peripher4l: its very possible that HD is dead. [22:43] hylian: GParted won't list the format as I think the partition table is funky... any way to see the format from the command line? 'mount' and 'fdisk' didn't show me the format [22:44] peripher4l: have you berrated him about the virtues of backups? [22:44] peripher4l: its also possible the drive has came loose from the mb. or other damage to the laptops internals [22:44] ennui, "sudo fdisk -l" [22:44] ennui do you have another medium with the amount of disc space needed, maybe you could run a file recovery tool and then format afterwards? [22:45] peripher4l: if there was a backup system in place then there would be no issue of data retrieval [22:45] i am running an update and I have this window for grub asking to install on partitions. currently the / partition is checked. should I leave it as is ? [22:45] ennui: have you tried specifying the filesystem with mount -t hfsplus ? [22:45] hylian, why are you suggesting that? ennui can see the drive in OSX obviously if they can turn journalling on/off [22:45] PinkBunny, just a sec... looking at something... [22:45] Dr_Willis: I'm pretty sure the drive is 'zombied', but Windows returns a "Disk Read" Error and Ctrl-Alt-Delete restart message on startup... [22:45] Flare183: any luch? [22:45] jjmartin_: one normally installs grub to the HD you boot from [22:45] Flare183: luch > luck [22:45] hylian: unfortunatly I am broke and I don't have another drive to store this data so I can reformat the drive [22:45] can any one help me with my network card problem? [22:45] jjmartin_: default is usually fine [22:45] sjm, ok [22:46] ActionParsnip: I'm at math camp, and so he can't access any form of backup. :( [22:46] !anyone | ashley85 :) [22:46] ashley85 :): 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? [22:46] does anyone know the settings for compiling packages for ubuntu from source? [22:46] ashley85: you havent asked yet so we'll never know [22:46] i mean --prefix and the like [22:46] ActionParsnip, why would i be prompt to install it in the same place again? [22:46] peripher4l: its possible some other disrtos may skip the disk checking/trying to mount features of ubuntu. You could try tinycore linux, or that system-rescue live cd setup. [22:46] jjmartin_: It's *not* telling you to install to all partitions. [22:46] peripher4l: you can take a small USB drive to back up to which is USB powered, costs pence and saves heartache [22:47] ennui how much freespace is there on that drive, did gparted tell you? [22:47] ennui, the drive would need to be formatted to NTFS or FAT to be compatible with both MAC and Linux, i think the problem right now is that it is formatted for Mac only. Good luck man (i don't own any Apple stuff, so i could easily be wrong) [22:47] Jordan_U, correct [22:47] Stavros: compiling to install locally? or trying to build packages [22:47] jjmartin_: You almost never want to install grub to a partition, just install to the mbr of your boot drive, which is probably what is currently selected. [22:47] my network card has stoped working and i cant get it to enable its self [22:47] jjmartin_: because its coded to install to the same disk you installed ubuntu to by default, the alternate ISO lets you choose the disk as you wish [22:47] hylian: gparted doesn't say but my file browser shows over 14G free [22:47] Dr_WIllis: I'm in Fedora right now, but it's not too efficient, and many things, like wlan, don't work (I do have an ethernet cable for now, though...) [22:47] ActionParsnip: I know, but how much of 320GB can you fit on a flash drive? [22:48] shauno: well, i'm compiling to install and then using checkinstall to build a package [22:48] Does anyone know how to improve an macbooks intel core 2 duo's performance on ubuntu [22:48] hmmm [22:48] ZykoticK9: I have a second external that is the same format, and originally used with a mac and I have RW permissions working on that one so I don't think that is the case [22:48] peripher4l, not to be rude, but if you are using Fedora what are you doing here? [22:48] ActionParsnip: Even a full size drive won't fit everything, besides: he's not a computer 'tinkerer' like me, he doesn't know the consequencees... [22:49] is there any reason not to have a RAID10 array with LVM and ext4 filesystem on top? [22:49] ZykoticK9: I can only boot from Fedora, but i'm having trouble with Ubuntu (both on flash drives...) [22:49] AndyGraybeal: Just avoid FakeRAID. [22:49] Jordan_U: thank you for mentioning that, i am using softwareraid. [22:50] No one? :( [22:50] whenever I try to run sudo fsck /dev/sda5 on this unmounted volume i get the following error: "fsck: fsck.lvm2pv: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.lvm2pv for /dev/sda5" [22:50] Jordan_U: do you have RAID10 setup with LVM and ext4? [22:50] Stavros: not familiar with that route. I'd usually use debuild and let debian/rules take care of prefixes [22:50] peripher4l, I'll guess a Plymouth problem ;) Sorry man, just checkin' - you're perfectly entitled to be here - so long as you're working on booting Ubuntu ;) [22:50] ennui the only thing i could suggest at this moment is to make a second partition with the free space, if it lets you without formatting, and then run something to try and recover those files. under the ubuntu software center there is a lot of file recovery tools, ofcoarse you wheren't certain of the type of format you had, so that might be tricky. [22:50] Wait [22:50] shauno: oh, i don't know what that is, do you have some more info? [22:51] Wuts his problem? [22:51] AndyGraybeal: No, But I have one machine with ext4 over RAID 1+0 and another with ext4 over LVM :) [22:51] i dont suppose hes booting into low graphics mode? [22:51] I using a live cd and cant get FSCK to work. Whenever I try to run sudo fsck /dev/sda5 on this unmounted volume i get the following error: "fsck: fsck.lvm2pv: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.lvm2pv for /dev/sda5" [22:51] Stavros: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide oodles of info [22:51] peripher4l: is your problem that you're booting into low graphics mode? :x [22:51] peripher4l: if his data is important to him, he should have a backup. The drive motor could fail and then no amount of software will retrieve the data and yu wil be shelling out THOUSANDS of dollars for professional (and non-garunteed) data retieval rather than a couple HUNDRED on a chep USB drive [22:51] greetings all! [22:51] thank you Jordan_U [22:51] ennui i have read good things about testdisk, but i have never had the need/misfortune to have to try it out, im afraid thats the best i can do... [22:52] AndyGraybeal: You're welcome. [22:52] pinkbunny, still looking for easy instructions based on what you posted [22:52] can anyone suggest a good file recovery tool for ubuntu? [22:52] hylian: dd? [22:52] shauno: thank you [22:52] ActionParsnip: I realize that... but at least it's only a couple of music files... I hope it doesn't cause too much trouble.. [22:52] hylian: I need to save up for another drive so I can transfer the data from this one and reformat [22:52] Jordan_U: do you use GPT or MBR? [22:53] zack1: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-968222.html [22:53] AndyGraybeal: GPT [22:53] hylian, your testdisk/photorec suggestion is a good one [22:53] Jordan_U: thank you. [22:53] AndyGraybeal: You're welcome. [22:53] Tazzypillar: I haven't selected any special boot options... And what does it have to do with the drive? [22:53] peripher4l: i'd warn him as a precaution. You also get a fre "I told you so card" for when it does die :D [22:53] ActionParsnip: Hehe... I think it has died... D: [22:53] thanks guys, looks like testdisk is a good choice. sorry i couldnt help more ennui. [22:53] oh, no, it doesnt. I just heard plymouth error and thought you might be having the same problem as i was [22:54] apparently not though [22:54] peripher4l: then you can play your card when ready (if you wish) [22:54] Dr_Willis: Isn't there another fix (grub option, kernel command, something?) to ignore any hard drives? [22:54] ennui: sorry, I lost track; have you managed to get the disk to mount at all? as root-only, or as read-only ? [22:54] ennui i would run testdisk as is first, just to see what it can do for you, if nothing else, maybe it can give you some information. [22:54] ActionParsnip: True... [22:54] helo [22:54] can someone help with my firewall issues. First, it doesn't seem to autostart, which bothers me. there's more but will do the other stuff later... [22:55] anyone expert could help me [22:55] !anyone | uhantu [22:55] uhantu can you be way more specific? [22:55] uhantu: 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? [22:55] hi... is there any web site where is the list of terminal "add ons" (I do not know what is name of that xD).... like jp2a, lynx, figlet..... [22:55] yes i got it now [22:55] thsnks guys [22:55] im facing dificulty [22:55] only alsa mixer [22:55] uhantu just tell us the problem first [22:55] just click rec box [22:55] dragondon: iptables starts at bootup in a default system and is your firewall [22:56] i got unallocated drive for my hdisk [22:56] ActionParsnip: then why is it that after everyreboot I see an inactive status until I 'sudo ufw enable'? [22:56] peripher4l: you may be able to use the ultimate boot cd. It may take a while to run but there may be some data recovery tools on there [22:56] um, is there any way to like improve my cpu performance in ubuntu? [22:56] please pm me [22:56] like better drivers or something [22:57] ummm....confusing iptables and ufw? two different things? [22:57] hi... is there any web site where is the list of terminal "add ons" (I do not know what is name of that xD).... like jp2a, lynx, figlet..... [22:57] dragondon: weird, then add: ufw enable in /etc/rc.local and it will run [22:57] Tazzypillar: why kind o cpu? [22:57] uhantu unallocated simply means that you havent formatted or partitioned it yet. is that what you mean? [22:57] ActionParsnip: i installed lvm2, but i dont know how that solved anything. the link you sent me to mentioned system-config-lvm but that isnt a package [22:57] !repeat | karlo [22:57] karlo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [22:57] ActionParsnip: I know about the ubcd, unfortunately, i do not currently have any cds or ubcd, so i cannot do that. Thanks anyways! [22:57] well, I run an Intel Core 2 duo [22:57] Tazzypillar, if it's a mobile (eg, laptop/netbook/etc), you probably want to read into the power-saving / cpu-scaling options available. it may be running in a lower-power mode and not giving you it's full potential [22:58] karlo, you might want to search Ubuntu Software Center for console and/or ncurse for terminal software [22:58] ah [22:58] how do i adjust that? ;x [22:58] ok [22:58] I'm running on a macbook [22:58] peripher4l: usb boot one then :) [22:58] Late 2008 macbook [22:58] yeah.. but i've already installs ubuntu and win xp [22:58] Tazzypillar: ck patchset improves things for me. Also the cpu/power saving scaling options give me a boot. I use conservative, but it always is changin [22:58] Tazzypillar: no idea, I run ubuntu on servers, not laptops. I just suggest it as a possible starting point for searches :) [22:58] zack1: i have no knowledge of lvm so doubt it was me [22:58] initially win xp [22:58] then ubuntu [22:59] ActionParsnip: Is that possible? [22:59] ActionParsnip: thanks [22:59] I pre-loaded ubuntu on a USB flash drive, then tried to boot from it, but the screen went black - not a black color, it's as if the screen was turned off -- I tried another USB port, another USB loader (UNetBootin), all failed. Would a CD work? [22:59] peripher4l: sure, you can put any bootable ISO on a usb stick / SD card / CF card / whatever [22:59] chadi the same thing happened to me and the CD worked [22:59] Ah, alright shauno, thanks~ ChogyDan, can you tell me more about those settings? I really don't know anything about power saving options and stuff [22:59] i wish to recover my win xp [22:59] Tazzypillar: right click on panel, Add to panel..., CPU frequency scaling monitor, do that twice. Set both to conservative [22:59] and my main interest is pushing my performance so that i can play my wine games well [22:59] uhantu, what are you trying to do, is there an error you are trying to fix? or are you trying to use all of your hard drive? [22:59] devin: any idea what is wrong with teh USB? [23:00] ActionParsnip: Oic... How? any softwarez? [23:00] i would like to fix [23:00] Tazzypillar: or rather, enough times for each core [23:00] so, for my next 'failed trick', my iptables has a LOT of rules and I am not sure where they are coming from. I have deleted them and they reappear. If it helps, I am running Transmission for torrent files. http://paste.ubuntu.com/469556/ [23:00] uhantu you would like to fix what? [23:00] i still can see my docement in harddrive [23:00] chadi my friend said it was probably due to my bios not wanting to boot from usb devices but he wasn't sure [23:00] my hardisk [23:00] you can put any bootable ISO on a usb stick / SD card?

It doesn't look like it is in the repositories. [23:01] uhantu what is sayig that the drive is unallocated? ubuntu, windows? [23:01] since i descover unallocated in gparted [23:01] devin: but the BIOS booted fine from the USB until the failure [23:02] ActionParsnip: Cool Thanks! [23:02] zack1: add an ampersand to the end of the line too! or the boot will hang [23:02] Thanks anyhow though, I'll try this :x [23:02] uhantu, thank you. ok. how much is unallocated?> [23:02] all of the disk [23:02] PinkBunny, then you need to blacklist the current drivers (rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib) [23:02] chadi yeah i was able to boot ubuntu 9.10 from the usb but not 10.04, so that's why i'm not at all sure it was the bios [23:02] uhantu do you have a second disk? a storage disk? [23:02] PinkBunny, and things should work. [23:03] i can boot to win xp.. but end at blue scree death [23:03] chadi what hardware do you have? [23:03] i just have pendrice [23:03] uhantu do you have 2 hard drives?

[23:03] anyone here know if the rt2870sta driver is packaged in an ubuntu deb in the repositories (or know of a quick way to find out?) [23:04] sjm, OK, If a vet like you can't find the driver, what chance do i have lol [23:04] uhantu so the pendrive is unallocated? [23:04] sweetpi yeah i ended up going into the mac side and changing the permissions there [23:04] toshiba laptop [23:04] ?? [23:04] the pendrive is ok [23:04] but my hardrive is not ok [23:04] PinkBunny, I can't remember if I loaded it from a repo or downloaded it directly. but I did get it installed. [23:04] chadi then probably your problem is different from mine and you should ask again from other people, sorry [23:04] uhantu so do you have ubuntu installed to the hard drive? [23:04] and my dongle is working fine. [23:04] i try to fix my hardrive [23:05] PinkBunny, but that dongle is on the home desktop computer. [23:05] I have a networking problem on a Thinkpad R50 running Ubuntu 10.04. Several days after I installed it, Ubuntu apparently Just Decided, on its own, to disable networking for all users, and I can't find any way to re-enable it. But if I su to root and manually bring up the interface with ifconfig, it works perfectly. Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu is disabling networking on this laptop, and more [23:05] importantly, how I can tell it to STOP disabling it? [23:05] currently i use live cd [23:05] i had one, but the brand is set the the high end stuff is worth it,anything else is a pain, still possible [23:05] devin: I have a karmic livecd, i'll try it [23:05] !who | Tazzypillar [23:05] Tazzypillar: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[23:09] oh I thought you were someone else [23:09] CkhiKuzad: you can use the minimal iso and instyall only what you need [23:09] i think ubuntu can help to fix my hardrive [23:09] CkhiKuzad: it has everything for the full install in the iso [23:09] anyone have any input on that networking problem? Why would Ubuntu just flat-out disable networking on a perfectly functional interface for no apparnet reason? [23:10] CkhiKuzad: you said that not me [23:10] Can anyone get hilter to work on KDE ? [23:10] so can still use my win xp for 1st OS [23:10] what is the command line partitioning program that automatically comes up in the Ubuntu Server install? [23:10] Alaric`, kenel update broke your nic? one suggestion. [23:10] uhantu maybe it can. you get blue screen of death, hmm. have the original windows cd? or a backup on your hard disks? [23:10] AndyGraybeal, i think its parted [23:10] nvm, gnome-control-center seems to be what I wanted, thanks [23:10] actually i would like to have two os in 1 hardrive [23:10] CkhiKuzad: parted doesn't look like it.. seems like a different interface [23:11] !dualboot | uhantu [23:11] uhantu: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [23:11] ZykoticK9, but I can bring the interface up without any problem at all using ifconfig from a shell. [23:11] AndyGraybeal, i dont know then [23:11] hi@all [23:11] but NetworkManager won't allow anyone to connect to anything. [23:11] Alaric`, then my example explanation doesn't fit ;) [23:11] uhantu actually thats not that hard. first you need to install windows, then if the other od is ubuntu, it can do that for you automatically, making 2 partitions. [23:11] AndyGraybeal: try wicd then, it can use any interface name you like [23:11] is there a BigStickToBeatNetworkManager with tool...? :) [23:12] anyone know what this means: "gedit iptables.txt [23:12] (gedit:5950): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported [23:12] " [23:12] i want to recover the unallocated [23:12] uhantu this is a very nice guide on how to do that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [23:12] HI [23:13] sjm, I got the driver, but the instructions on how to install it are baffling. [23:13] system -> preferences -> sound just gives me "Waiting for sound system to respond," is this because i got rid of pulseaudio? [23:13] alaric, because laptops and netbook, are very ify, pluh it into lan and update it (sytem first, hardware drivers and whatever else),in every possible way,its what i had to do [23:13] !hi| user [23:13] user: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [23:13] PinkBunny, what driver did you get? [23:13] previously i am using two OS and have no problem with dualboot === user is now known as M1TE5H [23:13] uhantu, it's not a matter of "recover" you need to format the unallocated space into whatever filesystem type you want OR resize one of you existing partitions to use the space. [23:13] dustin, this isn't netbook remix, it's regular 10.04LTS [23:13] how to unzip the afghan files [in 7z format] [23:13] sjm, 2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1 [23:13] ActionParsnip: thank you [23:13] DarkNemesis: install 7zip-full [23:14] pinkbunny, you got issues w/ a Broadcom card in Ubuntu? [23:14] ActionParsnip: maybe you meant someone else, i'm not working with wireless. [23:14] Alaric`: it might help to see your (in pastebin) /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf /etc/network/interfaces [23:14] DarkNemesis: is p7zip-full sorry [23:14] does it no choice to me to get back my window without format [23:14] uhnatu sometimes if you access a ntfs partition with ubuntu, and then goto windows it has a problem. not certain why. this can sometimes be fixed by unmounting the drive before quitting ubuntu. that might help... [23:14] PinkBunny, just a minute, that is one that you will need to compile and recompile each time the kernel updates through aptitude. [23:14] brummbaer, ????? [23:14] sjm, so don't use [23:15] PinkBunny: linux-sta? the wireless broadcom driver? [23:15] brummbaer: no; ralink chip [23:15] anyone that has a laptop or netbook, plug it into lan/do every possible update manually [23:15] brummbaer, oh i see, no like erUSUL said [23:16] I got a tp-link model TL-WN727N [23:16] sjm, install dkms and it "should" autocompile any ubuntu kernel requirements, not sure what program/driver you are referring too though. Good luck. [23:16] greetings, I was wondering if there was any way around the 10.04 installer issue with MCP67 RAID? Partitioning fails because it's missing a 'p' in the partition name (ie /dev/mapper/nvidiabbsbsb1 instead of /dev/mapper/nvidiabsbsbp1) [23:16] uhantu: boot to your windows install cd and you can reinstate the windows boot loader [23:16] erUSUL, PinkBunny: ah, ok. i just had a major pain when the upgrade to 2.6.32-24 broke my broadcom, i ended up having to rever to 2.6.32-21 to get it working [23:16] or character device name rather [23:16] how? [23:16] 9.10 picks it up fine [23:17] dustin, in any case, it's fully patched up to date (I have no choice about doint it over wired LAN; the wireless card in this laptop appears to have a dead transmitter) [23:17] how 2 install gyachi in ubuntu [23:17] kernelzilla: well bios fakeraids are bound to be problematic .... [23:17] no, its just cuz of the os < to driver [23:17] thune3, I'll take a look at that in a second [23:18] erUSUL, good for you, but that doesn't solve the problem that appeared in ubuntu 10.04 [23:18] ZykoticK9, trying to find out where to get a packaged version of the rt2870sta module. [23:18] M1TE5H, I don't think it connects to yahoo even if you get it installed. Think about using a more up-to-date IM program Empathy/Pidgin/etc. [23:18] hmm ... ubuntu doesn't have a package for wgetpaste? [23:18] sjm, sorry man no idea. good luck. [23:18] anyone know where I could download a huge package of screenlets? aka not individually?' [23:18] kernelzilla: fair enough; just trying to convince yu to move to linux software raid ;P if you can. [23:18] alaric, have you done my adivce? [23:19] ZykoticK9: i am install gyachi 4 yahoo video chat in 9.10 but in 10.04 i caught some problems [23:19] uhantu this guide might help you, it's a step by step... http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/483/xp_repair_fix_master_boot_record_recovery_console/ [23:19] dustin, updates? Yes, the laptop is fully updated === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [23:20] anyone? =/ [23:20] sjm, The driver on the windows driver CD is called rt2870 [23:20] actually, going to doublecheck one more time [23:20] hylian i've already done that [23:20] sjm, so you must be along the right lines [23:21] i did fixmbr [23:21] Is there any bug that kill Compiz (or Gnome) when stretching a window across three wordspaces in Ubuntu? [23:22] realubot: #compiz [23:22] erUSUL: Ok. [23:22] the mbr issue is solve [23:22] thetabyte, linux users do not like screenlets [23:22] but to cure unallocated i meet head blank [23:23] The instructions are baffling to me http://ubunturt2870.pbworks.com/FrontPage [23:23] i still can see the file in ntsf format [23:24] uhantu so does windows boot now? im guessing not, hmm, so does it try to boot and then bsod? [23:24] erUSUL, dank [23:24] can anyone help me out how to find out what type of gpu i have? [23:24] DarkNemesis: yw [23:24] yeah i got bsod [23:25] does anyone know if the images available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lucid/daily-live/current/ have the raid and mbr fixes? [23:25] shiftingcontrol: lspci | grep -i vga [23:25] i missing my partition tree [23:25] OK, there's some new browser updates today, but that's not going to affect the networking [23:25] thetabyte, http://screenlets.org/index.php/Category:UserScreenlets [23:25] not all updates,theres always seems to be more, portable computers are more prone for this [23:25] I have n os/linux [23:26] how can i set net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max value on boot? populating /etc/sysctl.conf with the setting does not work [23:26] the file still in my hardrive [23:26] thune3, http://dpaste.com/222177/ for nm-system-settings.conf, http://dpaste.com/222178/ for /etc/network/interfaces ... I immediately note eth0 is not present in interfaces [23:26] how do you do pm's? aka in this room? [23:26] my partition become unallocated [23:26] thetabyte: /msg nick hello [23:26] !pm | thetabyte [23:26] thetabyte: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [23:26] uhantu one thing you can try is to go through the motions of re-installing windows, when it gets to the partitions screen, choose the one windows is already in, then it will ask if you want to try and repair that version. it will go through the motions like it's installing it for the first time. this is at best a desperate act, but can repair a damaged file, sometimes saving the machine from having to be formatted and reinstalled, or are you tryi [23:26] ng to make a partition to backup your data using ubuntu? [23:27] PinkBunny, sorry, I can't remember right now. The steps are getting the rt2870sta driver, blacklisting the other drivers that conflict, and then loading unloading the drivers (or rebooting), but I can't remember where I got the rt2870sta driver from. [23:27] this is insane, how can a stable release have such a massive pair of bugs? why no 10.04.1 or update to the installer? === Chimera is now known as Guest71113 [23:28] yeah... im trying to saving my file [23:28] erUSUL:thank yu,then i had removed dpkg manually and now when i run the synaptic and download the software i am unable to install the s/w pls help [23:28] I mean, how can you not prioritize a bug where the installer is COMPLETELY MISSING PARTITIONS because of a missing 'p'? [23:28] kernelzilla, 10.04.1 due Aug 12 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickReleaseSchedule [23:28] what is the easiest way to create an ubuntu package if i already have a version of that package (and can copy the control files and everything)? [23:28] I connected my iphone to rhythmbox to play some music and now when I connect to itunes says it can't talk to it and wants to restore it, anyone know if there's a way I can fix it without losing all the data since my last sync to itunes? [23:28] ok, i try to do something [23:29] thanks a lot hylian [23:29] ZykoticK9, thank you [23:29] sjm, Thanks for the help, think i got it :) [23:29] My MacBook running Ubuntu is running hot. [23:29] uhantu i hope this helps, i dont think i was much help [23:29] shiftingcontrol: i am not sure i can help... dpkg is a central piece of software. you are in a catch-22 you can install dpkg back without dpkg ... [23:29] kernelzilla, no guarantee your bug will be fixed ;) [23:29] This little CPU meter says it's running at 31% of its maximum speed, so I wouldn't expect it to be consuming so much power. [23:29] PinkBunny this might also help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476321 [23:30] (As you all know, consuming power = producing heat.) [23:30] Any idea what may be causing this? [23:30] erUSUL:thank yu,how to do that ? [23:30] Warrigal, fact of the matter is, linux is not as good at power management as Mac or Windows... sad but true. [23:31] erUSUL: FYI, the ubuntu team made compiz fallback to metacity when resizing a window past the mts for the graphics card [23:31] anyone know greek history well, haha i know this isnt the channel for that but hell what is [23:31] soreau: ok; noted; thanks :) [23:31] !ot > sprockets2000 [23:31] sprockets2000, please see my private message [23:31] y'know, I wonder if my easiest solution to this problem is to just shoot NetworkManager in the head and manage the networking manually [23:31] sprockets2000 i know a little about icarus and daedalus, LOL [23:32] what is the command to install packages and programs ? [23:32] shiftingcontrol: i'm afraid reinstalling is the easiest option for you [23:32] !software | andre [23:32] andre: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [23:32] mañana es un buen momento [23:32] ZykoticK9: huh, that's too bad. Well, thanks. [23:32] !es | enav [23:32] enav: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:32] andre it's apt-get. apt-get update and then install xxx. [23:32] Alaric`, setting up the card in /etc/network/interfaces will disable network manager, it will show "not managed" for the card in question [23:32] everytime I boot my netbook, the bluetooth applet is on. how do I make it remember to stay off, when I turn it off? [23:32] That Spanish notice could use a comma after "charlar". [23:33] erUSUL:reinstalling is out of option according to me.let me try out,some other ways [23:33] Alaric`: i honestly could never figure out how to get my eth0 to run through networkmanager alone (that is, without putting it in /etc/network/interfaces). Differences in my setup: http://pastebin.com/f1sFZ7LN [23:33] is there a shortcut to talking to the last person that talked to you on irc? [23:33] I want install the office br [23:33] hylian: in some clients, simply press the tab key while your chat box is empty. [23:33] andre i forgot to mention that you have to sudo apt-get, or it wont work [23:34] shiftingcontrol: You can take a copy of your package list, configuration files and home directory before re-installing - if that is what you are concerned about. [23:34] thune3, let me try that a moment [23:34] hylian: depends on the client, not heard of that. You'll have to check the feature list of your client [23:34] thanks [23:34] im using xchat. [23:34] hylian: you can always copy the nick, then the shortcut would be CTRL+V ;) [23:34] thanks ap, thats what i have been doing [23:35] io:i tried to install vlc via ubuntu software centre now i receive an error "installArchives() failed: " [23:35] io:how to do that ? [23:36] shiftingcontrol: can you use: http://pastie.org to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install vlc [23:36] Anyone know if you can add a delay/sleep pause to the icons being loaded in a .directory file? I want my icons to load after the panels [23:36] ActionParnsip:sorry i forgot to use tad.thank you === dekadent is now known as BKTech86 [23:37] thune3, no joy with that ... I think I'm just going to rip out network-manager and let dhcpcd and wpa-supplicant handle it. [23:37] Alaric: you would have to restart networking and NM (or reboot) for those changes to take effect. [23:38] I should write sudo apt- get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ? [23:39] http://pastie.org/1061262,output of sudo apt-get install vlc [23:39] when I hit ctrl-alt-L to lock the screen, the menus wiggles left and right if I enter the wrong pw. can I turn this off? [23:39] Alaric`: and i did mean /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf for the second file mods (very sorry) [23:40] thune3, I restarted NM but not networking ... lemme try that [23:40] shiftingcontrol: yikes thats a lot of deps [23:40] Should I to write sudo apt-get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ? to install office br in terminal [23:41] ActionParnsip:see at the end you will find the error right? [23:41] shiftingcontrol: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/575400 [23:41] Does anybody know if the high load average bug is gone from 10.04? Can't really find a lot on Google (except that I'm not the only one with that problem), and I'd like to update to Lucid again. [23:42] shiftingcontrol: have you installed the server release? [23:42] Should I write sudo apt- get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ? [23:42] ActionParnsip:nope its desktop only [23:42] Glowball, wasn't that related to opensource video drivers, a LONG time ago? [23:42] shiftingcontrol: then your system is REALLY screwed, most of the deps are part of a default install of the desktop [23:43] shiftingcontrol, out of curiosity what is your output of "lsb_release -a" [23:43] ActionParnsip:my 10.04 literally made me feel worse,it hangs , [23:43] ZykoticK9: I always used the nvidia proprietary drivers, so I doubt it. And "a LONG time ago".. I used Lucid till after my exams, so.. end of June? [23:43] that seems to be an error when going from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, especially when going from the server distro to desktop, or vice versa [23:44] Glowball, must be a different bug, sorry no idea. [23:45] ZykoticK9: I'm back to Karmic, but after tasting Lucid, it really feels like I'm missing out a lot :( [23:45] Zykotick9:http://pastie.org/1061272 [23:45] shiftingcontrol, ok [23:46] ohh, as for my link to problem, not only did a lot of people agree with me, but they plan to make it so it doesnt add the link to situation in the next release of nautilus, although according to a bug i read, this was an ubuntu specific situation... [23:46] Glowball, i couldn't wait to drop Karmic, so I started using Lucid as my main desktop OS during Alpha 2. Sorry to hear about your Lucid troubles. [23:47] in ma ubuntu studio if i give ping fb.me ,i get unknown host,whereas in lucid the net gets connected [23:47] hylian: so whats it supposed to do ? ask for a new name? [23:47] ZykoticK9: What's your load average atm? [23:48] Dr_Willis no usually a different extension. as to how they are gonna do it, they didnt say, but it diod say that earlier versions of ubuntu had actually already had it set up that way. i think it handles it like a application launcher... [23:48] Glowball, right now 0.27, 0.33, 0.37 [23:48] Meh. [23:49] Mine was 1+, on fresh boot after fresh install, without any apps open [23:49] how can i install google chrome?
