[00:53] there is no such script [00:53] there doesn't appear to be any initscripts related to policykit [00:53] clcto: an update placed ctrl+alt+F1 as the default X11 (of course you need ctrl+alt+F7 to return if its there) [00:54] hylian> thing is im on a laptop (dell inspiron 9400) [00:54] no, it kept saying some kind of errors, i remember some of it, it said device not ready and some other stuff [00:54] ny_ you will have to change the permissions. do you know your way around file structures, folder etc? [00:54] but i can log into gnome fine, it just xfce session and xubuntu session i cant log into on login screen [00:54] tensorpudding: i am running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 and it shows here: /etc/init.d/policykit , maybe try sudo /etc/init.d/policykit restart [00:54] no i new to the ubu linux ,,, [00:54] Is there a way to synchronize the installed programs on a desktop and laptop. By synchronize I mean ensure that the same programs are installed on both machines [00:55] That file doesn't exist, and I'm using the same version of Ubuntu exactly [00:55] beginer well if anything trying that might be atleast a diagnostic tool. sorry i wasnt more helpfull [00:55] tensorpudding: try this in terminal: sudo find / -name policykit [00:55] ps2pdf: ta.. bit silly to move buttons a round.. [00:55] plz just pass me command =) [00:55] p_masho, Ubuntu Tweek, lots of neat things it can do. [00:55] (i hate system v init) [00:55] p_masho: i agree, please add that suggestion here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [00:56] opps Ubuntu Tweak, not Tweek [00:56] ps2pdf: oh, my bad [00:56] ny_ chmod a+x (file name or folder name) like this: chmod a+x /home/user/Music/ [00:56] I suppose somehow I could have uninstalled policykit? I'm not sure how that could happen. [00:56] hylian, this Ext2Read can be installed on ubuntu or windows xp? [00:56] hylian> its ok, anyway my battery's dead so im on AC all the time (it should work properly then, isn't it?) [00:56] I know for certain it was running. [00:56] hylian, wats up am back [00:56] i have a work around now [00:57] hylian plz righ to me privet [00:57] hendaus thats a windows xp vista 7 app [00:57] tensorpudding: you can apt-cache search policykit to check the repos for it [00:57] ps2pdf, Ext2Read is this the program to download? on windows xp or ubuntu? [00:57] pradeep did that work? [00:57] still don't understand [00:57] No, it's definitely installed. [00:57] clcto: so will i have to uninstall xubuntu through dynaptic, then reinstall? [00:57] hendaus: it would be easiest to do everything in windows, but possible to do in ubuntu [00:57] Is there a way to synchronize the installed programs on a desktop and laptop. By synchronize I mean ensure that the same programs are installed on both machines [00:57] synaptic i mean [00:57] hylian, yea it did very well [00:57] I'm new to Gnome but not to Debian [00:57] Things to Do After 10.04 Install: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html [00:57] beginer thats true, if your always ac, then no power handling is no big deal, but walking away for half an hour at a cafe can really suck the juice [00:57] hendaus: you should check to ensure it is NOT ext4 first though before proceeding [00:58] It has the Button Move / Fix [00:58] EnigmaticCoder: huh? use Veritas :) [00:58] I'll try dpkg-reconfigure [00:58] epinky: thanks [00:58] KE1HA: can you add some of those top 10 to brainstorm.ubuntu.com ? [00:58] do u wan't me to look for i folder name chmod a+x are make the hapen .... ?? [00:59] pradeep i actually edit the menu item for virtualbox and added the gksu in the front, since i always need usb support to run my windows only scanner [00:59] ps2pdf, so i am at ubuntu right now,so i cant do anything here,just restart to windows xp and install Ext2Read? [00:59] this is fun [00:59] i love you guys [00:59] travis_: you shouldn't have to, but idk [00:59] There's severalk Sites with Great Tips. Ii've never been on brainstorm.ubuntu.com [00:59] hendaus: yes, but ensure your ubuntu is not on ext4 partition [00:59] ok [00:59] what is this policykit-1 [00:59] ps2pdf, ensure how? tell me [00:59] hendaus: do that first before reboot into windows by System -> Administration -> Disk Utilities [00:59] it was a theme that messed everything up [00:59] that was pre-installed [01:00] This one is really good, Long link though SRI fer that: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html [01:00] hylian, what version of vbox are you using [01:00] ny_ no, the command is chmod a+x, not the file name. chmod a+x (your folder or file that is locked here) [01:00] hendaus: ensure you see no ext4, otherwise that windows program will not work [01:00] hylian, here is what i did https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/103523 [01:00] ps2pdf, i open disk utilty? then what? [01:01] pradeep did that actually work though? because i got no results. === pooky_ is now known as Pooky [01:01] hylian> but its really weird i can predict the flickerings by looking at the nvidia X server setting monitor for powermizer...any time it changes level i got a black screen like a flash for not more than a wink's time [01:01] hendaus: then find the "Hard Disk" on the left navigation portion of the program, and select it [01:02] hylian, well it did for me after addin to my /etc/rc.local worked very well [01:02] KE1HA: nice link [01:02] ps2pdf, ok i select it [01:02] pradeep good to know. i guess im lazy being su all the time, but i really needed my usb devices. [01:02] what is this policykit-1, what does it have to do with policykit [01:03] hylian, yup [01:03] hendaus: do you see "ext4" anywhere on that screen? or are you lost? if you see ext4, there is no reader available yet in windows to read ext4, but you can suggest ubuntu deal with this in Ubuntu 10.10 at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25388/ [01:03] hi [01:03] friends [01:03] !hi | xerok29 [01:03] xerok29: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [01:03] also starting policykit from its initscript does precisely nothing [01:03] ps2pdf, yes i see 100 GB ext4 [01:03] but i have something called polkitd running [01:04] hey [01:04] hendaus: then that program will not work, refer to my last URL above or here to suggest ubuntu deal with this issue better: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25388/ [01:04] I have some problems with video [01:04] beginer, it might be a driver thing. did you install the driver ubuntu recommended or the one from nvidia? believe it or not, im not running the most up to date driver on my nvidia 8400 gs, because a slightly older driver had a little more compatability. strange, no? [01:04] something about this smells like a broken hack [01:04] ps2pdf, i am using ubuntu 10.04lts [01:05] I've checked in Nvidia X Server Settings Sync to VBlank for both OpenGL and Xvideo [01:05] then i have another question, at startup, what is this: acer-wmi: Unable to detect wmid devices? [01:05] hendaus: I understand you are in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but without restructuring your partitions or converting ext4 to ext3, there is no option to read these files in Windows [01:05] however, I can see tearing in every game [01:05] yet they all run perfectly 60fps, from SNES to N64 and PSX [01:06] hendaus: you can write your comments on this page: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25388/ so they fix this in the future [01:06] I need help with an ASUS USB-N13 USB wifi adapter [01:06] I'm trying to install ubuntu on an old box with regular ATA drives. It hangs at 33% creating partitions. [01:06] and when I use Xvideo, it is indeed Vsynced, but it looks a bit blurry [01:06] HALP? [01:06] ps2pdf, so there is way to do that? [01:06] Some googling showed that this is due to bad memory, bad mobo, etc. [01:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419504 [01:06] but I've swapped everything out [01:06] I followed post #35 but now it doesn't work [01:06] hendaus: yes, it is tedious though, there is no easy fix [01:06] I notice that there is no network manager thing [01:07] anyone know what acer-wmi: unable to detect wmid devices means? [01:07] i installed the nvidia recommended driver, but my card is quite old (ive got a choice between 3 drivers to go for and 2 of them support the GForce7900GS) and i got the same pb with the 2 drivers (but at that time it didn't change my refresh rate...) [01:07] travis_, Acer-wmi is derived from acer_acpi, originally developed by Mark [01:07] Smith in 2005, then taken over by Carlos Corbacho in 2007, in order to activate [01:07] the wireless LAN card under a 64-bit version of Linux, as acerhk[1] (the [01:07] previous solution to the problem) relied on making 32 bit BIOS calls which are [01:07] not possible in kernel space from a 64 bit OS. [01:07] KE1HA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:07] Opps SRI :-) [01:07] hendaus: heres an Ubuntu discussion on how to downgrade from ext4 to ext3: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377366 [01:08] so its not a problem, even though it takes forever to show that, then it starts booting? [01:08] hylian> i can still give it a go... [01:08] travis_, Well, not really, here's the whole scoop: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/laptops/acer-wmi.txt [01:08] but id like to know where that bug comes from so i can choose the right thing to do [01:08] hola [01:08] hoola [01:09] ok thanks [01:09] ps2pdf, ok thanx friend, but other thing , i have vbox on ubuntu and also i have windows xp installed === illac is now known as illac_work [01:09] beginer thats kinda what i meant if you do this and your problem is solved, well, you problem still isnt solved. i just thought it would be nice to have confirmation. [01:09] ps2pdf, if i do this: VBoxSDL -fullscreen -vm "Windows XP Pro" <-- it looks fullscreen [01:10] Logging in and out fixed the problem. [01:10] i still dont like that it adds 30-40 seconds to boot time [01:10] It's a very non-optimal fix though [01:10] but it doesnt matter [01:10] hendaus: i tried VM without success, sorry thats not my strong point, but for ext4 to ext3, here are detailed instructions http://duopetalflower.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-migrate-ext4-partitions-to-ext3.html [01:10] tensorpudding: did you reinstall policykit? [01:10] hmm [01:10] I didn't install anything. [01:10] Just rebooting fixed it [01:11] I should've just used the default solution [01:11] travis_, Its a problem, but not a show stopper, I dont like long boot times either. [01:11] tensorpudding: what does the sudo find / -name policykit show? [01:11] ok, i still think i need it though because it says it allows me to use wireless card [01:11] this reminds me of the issue i took with gnome in the past [01:12] it was too complicated for me to fix it when it ultimately broke [01:12] Hello [01:12] ke1ha: do you know anything about xubuntu? [01:12] rrr, yes you should, if it's not already logged, put in a bug report on it as they are hard after things that slow down boot times. [01:12] tensorpudding: the policykit is only needed for the wireless portion if you utilize gnome-network-manager [01:12] It's needed for programs that use it for authentication. [01:12] Like the software center. [01:13] tensorpudding: gnome apps mainly though, so wicd and using iwconfig/ifconfig will not need it [01:13] travis_, I play around with it, but mostly stick to UB-Server and Desktop to allow me to better understand the mainstream support needs / issues. [01:13] In any case, having it fail randomly after bringing the system back from suspend is egregious. [01:13] someone around who wants to help me with banshee? would be really nice [01:13] ok just wondering because i have a problem with it [01:13] Speaking of egregious, when suspend fails [01:13] ps2pdf, i have a question, can i open on ubuntu the folders of windows xp installed on vbox? [01:14] !banshee | Andre_Re [01:14] Andre_Re: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [01:14] n [01:14] Proibably best to head for the xubuntu channel unless its common to both. [01:14] 2:14am [01:14] hendaus: yes, i believe they will show, all windows files should show in Ubuntu if Ubuntu is running, virtual or otherwise [01:14] sleep time, I guess [01:14] i don't know how i can make is convert m4a-files [01:14] i alreadt did, but i asked and waited for over 10 minutes and nobody responded, so i tryed here [01:14] it worked on another pc but i don't know which package is missing here [01:15] Saying "you can work around it" is apologetics for "this software is junk and probably shouldn't have been released", but whatever [01:15] whats the issues, no harm in asking. [01:15] Andre_Re: dir2ogg should convert m4a to ogg audio format, will that accomplish your goal? [01:15] ps2pdf: nope, because i want to use some functions of banshee [01:16] ps2pdf, ok i am at ubuntu and vbox is not running,so how can i open the files that i have save on windows xp? [01:16] it can synchronize the music depending on different settings [01:16] hendaus: Places -> XX GB filesystem [01:17] i was looking through the themes that were installed with xubuntu, and i clicked on one of them, then it logged me out of xubuntu. I tryed logging in on xfce session and xubuntu session, but it showed splash screen, then returned to the login screen [01:17] ps2pdf, not on windows booting, i mean on virtualbox [01:17] If you have a wifi card then you have something in the panel that allows you to see the conncetions [01:17] anyone have banshee knowledge to help Andre_Re ? [01:17] hi guys i have a problem, i have a EPSON Stylus D78 printer and when i want to print a page nothing happens, checking it under http://localhost:631/printers/ it says that it's processing, but nothing happens and under http://localhost:631/jobs/ it said "Unable to write print data: Input/output error" [01:17] I have a USB wifi card (ASUS USB n13) and it is working/the light is flashing [01:17] please i need this quick [01:17] However I do not see a network thing in the panel [01:18] Is there a command to start that manually? [01:18] hendaus: it should still show there, they mount using a loop option [01:18] ps2pdf: i know that it works because my mate installed banshee and tested it with succes [01:18] sudo service smbd restart doesn't work responding with "unrecognized service" *but* sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart works and then says that function has been converted to an upstart job.. isn't that the first command that didn't work? [01:18] Spreadsheet_: what does iwlist report? [01:18] but he hadn't enough time to check which plugins were involved [01:19] when is the next release of ubuntu live cd? please [01:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/470042/ [01:19] 10.01 [01:19] ChogyDan: ^ [01:19] 10.10 [01:19] travis_, not sure about that one, never seen it before. I'd go to the xubuntu forums and post it there, as well as in bugs. [01:19] It is blinking a little more than normal. I tested it in Vista and it didn't blink that much [01:19] its ok [01:19] Hey [01:19] Spreadsheet_: oopos, maybe it is iwconfig [01:20] Ubuntu 10.10 is next release, but its currently in alpha [01:20] when as in what date [01:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/470043/ [01:20] h07: 10.10 refers to the date... Oct of 2010 [01:20] ChogyDan: ^ [01:20] yes what scunizi said [01:20] !10.10 | h07 [01:20] h07: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:20] It seems kinda errory [01:20] Scunizi: thank you [01:21] Manhattan os is nice... [01:21] I like using gedit for writing code, but i hate compiling via the terminal - too much writing and repeating. Does there exist a gedit plugin for managing and compiling c++, or an ide that is not heavy and bloated? [01:21] i will try the xubuntu forum [01:21] and bugs [01:21] Spreadsheet_: did you look at http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1444746&page=6 ? [01:21] ps2pdf: nope [01:21] I'll go check that [01:21] no gui on ubuntu server? === steve__ is now known as badsect0r [01:21] WHY .. OH WHY .. is samba acting so different on 10.04.. sudo service smbd restart says "unrecognized service" [01:22] steve6: no. its a server [01:22] travis_, certainly changing themes should not cause that issue, and i'e nt seen it in the standard UB channels, particularly on 10.04 [01:22] ps2pdf: which post should I look at? [01:22] an alternetiv to pulseaudio? since i can't open soundsettings or control the volume with my keyboard without it [01:22] steve6: by default the server install has no gui.. but you can add one even though most of what you do will be cli [01:22] Scunizi: I dunno, but that commands works-for-me [01:22] is 10 much different than 8? [01:23] Spreadsheet_: it seemed one near the top or middle seemed to work for everyone, thats why i pointed out that page (page 6) [01:23] 8 is what i had last [01:23] ps2pdf: ok [01:23] Question: I wish to stop Apache2 from starting when Ubuntu boots (10.04). Googling turned up chmodding the file /etc/init.d/apache2 however this is also the file used to control apache itself. Anyone know of a better way? [01:23] ps2pdf: But the thing is that I am trying to get the list of wireless networks === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat [01:23] EruditeOgre: you can disable it in startup services === BrendenB is now known as Guest60659 [01:23] heh [01:23] Scunizi, what does the results of this say: ps -e | grep smb [01:23] damn floodbots need to stop modeflooding [01:23] whooo floodbot is busy!!! [01:23] System > Preferences > Startup Applications [01:23] Spreadsheet_: it looks like that driver for that wireless is very unstable in Ubuntu [01:23] KE1HA: yeah it has to be xubuntu problem because i didnt do nothing to it, just looking at themes to see which one i liked, but the thing is, i dont know what theme caused it. [01:24] Spreadsheet_: Not showing in there. [01:24] ChogyDan: initially I had samba4 installed and then uninstalled it.. put samba in and it worked as long as I restarted it after boot.. [01:24] ps2pdf: how do I get Network Manager or the equivalent to show up? [01:24] I mean it is working for me [01:24] KE1HA: nothing.. although smbd and nmbd does show. [01:24] Though, thinking about it, I'd probably have to open it as root to see it. [01:24] But I can't get the GUI to show up [01:24] So guys, Xubuntu doesn't come with the xfce menu editor anymore? [01:24] Spreadsheet_: try gksu network-manager in terminal, see if that does it [01:24] The service doesn't appear to be runnung. [01:24] an alternetiv to pulseaudio? since i can't open soundsettings or control the volume with my keyboard without it [01:24] KE1HA: however ps aux -e | grep smb does show the service running. [01:25] ps2pdf: I don't have it installed [01:25] i remember xfce-panel from xubuntu 6.10, which i would have to use often., [01:25] Spreadsheet_: top bar on the right hand side (beside the clock) [01:25] Option "TapButton2" "2" in xorg.conf synaptics should send a button 2 press when i tap with 2 fingers, no? [01:25] Oh, it is, ok... can you stop, start or staus the ser5vice in init.d ? [01:25] It's not there [01:25] Spreadsheet_: so add it [01:25] Spreadsheet_: in terminal, sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome [01:26] Spreadsheet are your panels gone? xfce-panel restarts them [01:26] I have my panels [01:26] KE1HA: yes.. using /etc/init.d/smbd restart etc... however when I do that it says that method has been converted to an upstart job.. ie... sudo service smbd restart [01:26] hey [01:26] guys [01:26] I'm in 10.04. There is a special way to have the network manager [01:26] Spreadsheet_: right click on top panel hten add to panel [01:26] LOL .. ok, that is definately odd. [01:26] Spreadsheet all of your gui is gone? [01:26] what is a 'lvm' that this install is asking me [01:27] Speadsheet_: by the way, there is no xfce-network-manager package, only for kde and gnome [01:27] You have to add the indicator applet [01:27] KE1HA: i found a code which shows errors, i think in Xorg or xserver, the code is less ./.xsession-errors should i try that? [01:27] I am in GNOME [01:27] KE1HA: yet.. the shares are not accessable from the LAN via a mapped drive in windows running on a vm [01:27] to see if thier are errors? [01:27] Spreadsheet_: so is all users in ubuntu [01:27] what channel do I go to if I am having trouble with a internal microphone ? [01:27] h07: what do I add to the panel? [01:27] :/ [01:28] KE1HA: all this worked prior to reinstalling 10.04 from 9.10 [01:28] Spreadsheet my bad, somehow i was under the impression you where using xubuntu, xfce. [01:28] I get a window up but I don't know which one to ad [01:28] ? how do install something from repos with suid rights [01:28] Scunizi, I think the shares are not accessable because it's not runnign properly, why though is a bit baffeling. [01:28] Spreadsheet_: try running nm-applet [01:28] hiexpo: sudo apt-get install and to find the package, apt-cache search [01:28] ChogyDan: thanks [01:28] Spreadsheet_: Found it. update-rc.d -f apache2 remove [01:29] KE1HA: yea.. I was over at #samba and although they suggested a few things basically said it's most likely a distro issue.. [01:29] ChogyDan: "an instance of nm-applet is already running" [01:29] Spreadsheet_: haha told you so :P [01:29] would less ./.xsession-errors work? [01:29] Spreadsheet_: so is all users in ubuntu [01:29] But it's not there [01:29] Scunizi, I would save my .conf files, then uninstall / reinstall samba then edit your new .conf & restart to see where that puts you. [01:29] Spreadsheet this might help: http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [01:29] ps2pdf, thats not what i asked > how do i install an app from repos and give it suid rights [01:29] Spreadsheet_: are you sure that your wifi is working? [01:30] ChogyDan: yes [01:30] hiexpo: please explain further, your question if very generic [01:30] I am using a wired connection at the moment though [01:30] !panels | Spreadsheet_ hylian [01:30] Spreadsheet_ hylian: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:30] Scunizi, after having many issues early on with Versin Upgrades, I now only do staright installs.

Enjoy your stay! === _ng is now known as _NG [01:30] ChogyDan i didn't need this information, Spreadsheet did. [01:30] ah i need help installing ubuntu on a Eee netbook [01:30] KE1HA: lol.. that's pretty much what I just did.. reinstalled samba4... then purged it.. installed samba.. however I did't "re-install" samba.. I should try that.... Yea.. I *never* version upgrade any more.. always a fresh install keeping the same /home [01:31] Spreadsheet_: does iwconfig report the same thing [01:31] hylian: yeah, I know, sorry [01:31] hiexpo, what program? you shouldn't need to with anything in the repos.... [01:31] ChogyDan: I posted what iwconfig put out [01:31] hiexpo: can you please give more details of what you wish to accomplish [01:31] when installing kismet you can have suid rights so howdo i give kismet suid rights [01:31] ChogyDan no problem, thanx for the info [01:31] hiexpo: sudo kismet [01:31] Oh cool [01:31] Scunizi, I'd un-install, purge, then do a fresh install od Samba and deps, then test again.

But I notice that my sound is very choppy without tsched, and it's extremely smooth (even under load) with tsched. I realize tsched was broken before on VMware, but it's fixed now. Any way to stop the system from modifying default.pa and putting tsched=0 back every reboot? [01:37] i mean how to use ubuntu to configure bandwith usage [01:37] KE1HA: 7 land huh? Is that AZ?

[01:48] travis__: press alt-space, then r and move the mouse/touchpad [01:48] a1: What is the issue? [01:49] a1: maybe try sudo lshw and pastebin the monitor details [01:49] no authorization or other errors, the Xorg log looks fine. It just sits there repeating "No protocol specified" after "waiting for X server to begin accepting connections" [01:49] only displaying 800x600 max but will run 1280x1024 in win7 [01:49] travis__: (maybe something other than r in non-english locales) [01:49] alright I'll learn more about it and figure it out,thanks guys [01:49] I have never use an IRC and I am having problems with internet connections in ubuntu 10.04 [01:49] a1: What card is it according to the output of lspci|grep VGA ?

[01:50] yes [01:50] i've tried lots and looked on forums for the last week [01:50] a1: you mey need to put custome modelines in the xorg.conf [01:50] oh i see what you mean now [01:51] travis__: it doesn't work directly with maximized windows... and you have to move the mouse farther than the win borders... [01:51] a1: Im not sure whatever driver is for that card supports xrandr, but you could try to add a mode with xrandr.. [01:51] HOW CAN I SPEED UP MY UBUNTU 9.1 GNOME ?? [01:52] When i delete a file in a ext4 partition it will be really deleted? [01:52] or anybody can recover it whit special programs?

(sudo) Now, if I make the directory thus, can I add files to the directory as a vanilla user or do i have to add everything as root?

(and then post the link here) [01:53] thedoor, you should do a hard drive sweep to do a full delete,, take about an hour.. there free software [01:53] FreeRunner: Tunneling? as in VPN? [01:53] thedoor: there are also apps to clean the empty space, ram, and swap space [01:53] soreau pastbinit [01:53] not this time around [01:53] Mr_Sonoma: You pastebinnut [01:53] ok, i found on brainstorm, that they should make an invisible part, instead og making borders thicker, in some cases, a thick border isnt appealing, or pleasant [01:53] FreeRunner: Or as in using a proxy? [01:54] but better than nothing [01:54] Kemp_Family: Sounds like a nameserver issue possibly. What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf? [01:54] bjegovic: thers no need to PM me.. ask the questions in the channel [01:54] I don't understand [01:54] ps2pdf, i think it's better programs to clean empty space, the file is already "deleted" so shred is not appliable :( [01:54] EruditeOgre: as in using a SOCKS proxy. [01:54] a1: what refresh rate you using [01:55] Kemp_Family: Open a terminal and type cat /etc/resolv.conf [01:55] i says i have 512 ram memory [01:55] and my gnome run slow [01:55] soreau sure but i'm new to ubuntu though sorry how would i do that? === _ng is now known as _NG [01:55] thedoor: yeah, try the program that cleans the empty space, that will remove an already deleted file [01:55] get more ram.. [01:55] i cant [01:55] bjegovic: thats not supriseing.. more ram is always good. [01:55] a2: Open a terminal and type xrandr then pastebin the output to pastebin.com in your browser [01:55] h07 60hz [01:55] ps2pdf, any sugestion? :) [01:56] my configuration i s very old and there is no ram what i need [01:56] ps? [01:56] a1: try setting it to 75hz [01:56] EruditeOgre: any ideas? [01:56] bjegovic: you could install Xubuntu, designed for older computers, or computers with less memory [01:56] bjegovic: or lubuntu instead of xubuntu [01:56] thedoor: http://techthrob.com/2009/03/02/howto-delete-files-permanently-and-securely-in-linux/ [01:56] the same [01:56] it says "no such file or directory [01:56] FreeRunner: http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/12/08/ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-forwarding-secure-browsing/ [01:56] " [01:56] it acts sam in xubuntu?

[01:57] thedoor: Secure-delete is a package of four separate cli utilities, sswap, srm, sfill and smem [01:57] travis__: maybe lubuntu [01:57] i heard that the Flux window manager was lightweight [01:58] Kemp_Family: So if the output of ifconfig shows an eth0 interface, that means the driver is loaded so its just a matter of configuring it, in sys>prefs>networking [01:58] travis__: I think fluxbuntu is dead [01:58] how to see what is my cpu [01:58] hChogydan: he said he already tried lubuntu [01:58] oh it is? [01:58] travis__: almost any 'just a window manager' will be light weight compared to a full desktop. [01:58] Device: /dev/sda, ATA error count increased from 960 to 984.

[02:07] actionParsnip, i still get login proimpt after about 30 seconds [02:07] steve6: actionParsnip is usually on the ball, try that trick [02:07] a3: see that? [02:07] Anyone able to give me some suggestions for installing network drivers from the command line? [02:07] a3: I made it to a1 [02:07] steve6: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root [02:07] does anybody know how to get the internet connection working in Ubuntu 10.04 after beeing dual booted with windows 7 [02:07] but i dont have x installed... its 'server' [02:07] Or can I do g+w considering I'm a part of the admin group? [02:07] its a site where you earn points, and use it on redeeming a whole bunch of stuff [02:07] (Even though the folder is root:root) [02:07] including computers [02:07] ye not sure how ive got all these names :S [02:07] Kemp_Family: can you be specific on any error messages you get or things you have tried to fix it (more details needed)? [02:07] thanks tryin [02:07] and its not a scam [02:08] actionParsnip: since i have asked you multiple times in the past to stop the "yo yo yo" on /join, and you're *still* doing it, it does not incline me to assert that you're receptive to the requests of community leaders, which is requisite for membership. sorry. [02:08] i am installing lubuntu [02:08] ok [02:08] Todd__: drivers for what exactly? if you know the pcakge names its not too hard. [02:08] Kemp_Family: Wifi or ethernet? [02:08] steve6: The problem is that the Video mode is set in '/boot/grub/grub.cfg' to an incorrect value (hence the error message!) [02:08] mneptok: is it in the Ubuntu terms of agreement for this chatroom? [02:08] i get 'packiage xserver-zorg is not installed [02:08] same result [02:08] mneptok: i understand [02:08] i'm starting to get so tired of the way ubuntu works :( [02:08] full of stupid bugs! [02:08] h07, basically for hotpot or bandwith manager [02:08] EruditeOgre: make a group and add your user and root to it, then run: sudo chown root:foo bar; sudo chmod g+w bar replace foo with the group name and bar with the folder name [02:09] if was able to get the ethernet working I could download the driver for the wireless adapter [02:09] cablop: suggest improvements here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [02:09] i can't change the keyboard layout, i add a different and remove what i'm using now, but IT WON'T CHANGE [02:09] I had ubunter server 10 installed and the mobo fried. installed a new mobo and ubuntu does not recognize the nIC anymore. Need to trigger ubuntu to reinstall the Network driver [02:09] Kemp_Family: did you try sudo service networking restart in terminal? [02:09] it's not an improvement! it's a bug... awww [02:09] not sure how to do this from the command line. [02:09] nope [02:09] I will try [02:09] Kemp_Family: consult ifconfig and iwconfig for details of your network and wireless card, see if you get an IP address? [02:10] Kemp_Family: You need to set your nameserver. In /etc/resolv.conf, you can put nameserver 192.168.1.1 or whatever you want to be your nameserver or you can just use sys>prefs>networking [02:10] anyway [02:10] after the rant [02:10] I have ip address in the network connection for auto eth0 [02:10] soureau: public nameservers include 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 [02:10] any idea on how to be able to change the keyboard layout? [02:10] Kemp_Family: If you type ping 8.8.8.8, does it work? [02:10] more like a mac address [02:10] Kemp_Family: soreau : if you use a gui app for network management, the changes in resolv.conf will be overwritten so you must append the setting in the gui app [02:11] actionParsnip: Thanks. Will do [02:11] ps2pdf: I know that. [02:11] pradeep: so ask for help at there forum :P [02:11] ps2pdf: "Don't be annoying: Flooding, away messages, repeating, CTCPs and bot abuse are not the only ways you can be annoying. Personal attacks when things don't go as planned, ***** other attention-seeking behaviour *****, and continued misbehaving after you have been advised to stop is disruptive and obnoxious. Such behaviour may result in a removal from the channel." [02:11] cheers! does anyone know of an Acer support chat? im having start up issues [02:11] actionParsnip: Yes, I know. [02:11] type 8.8.8.8 [02:11] where [02:11] ps2pdf: from the IRC Guidelines, with emphasis added [02:11] Kemp_Family: maybe the IP you are getting is IPv6, which looks like a mac address [02:11] Kemp_Family: No, ping 8.8.8.8 [02:11] cablop when you clicked it, did you click 'Apply System Wide? [02:11] mneptok: i have not and am not violating any of them [02:11] Kemp_Family: In your terminal [02:11] in a terminal' [02:12] ps2pdf: i did not say you were === nathan is now known as brummbaer [02:12] soreau: was more just to tie your flows together. I guessed you knew :) [02:12] travis_ yes i did, and nothing happened [02:12] elegantchaos, what is the start up issue ? [02:12] it says command not found [02:12] actionParsnip: my flows dont require tying, thanks. [02:12] i'm going to restart this thing and see what happens :( [02:13] Kemp_Family: ping [02:13] Kemp_Family: ping 8.8.8.8 [02:13] خن [02:13] ps2pdf : i tried going to root shell and changed password, it still wont let me on, i click on username and it goes right back to the same screen to select user [02:13] but... after using 5 years ubuntu it's too sad to see some stupid bugs around... 5 years... [02:13] هف هف صخقنثی بخق پث [02:13] soreau: np [02:13] please newort administrator here [02:13] it doesnt wanna boot into ubuntu it may take several times... maybe never.. ive installed several times.. im patient perhaps a "grub"issue? [02:13] soreau: do you know the way to edit the xrandr? [02:13] it worked for me [02:13] cablop: what bugs? [02:13] it says network is unreachable [02:13] a3: You mean the mode you already added? [02:13] chris: did the password reset for the user so you can login? did you get any errors? [02:14] h07: cablop says it wont change keyboard layout, but it works for me [02:14] ps2pdf : no it didnt require a password to log on, but it wont let me in [02:14] i think cablop forgot to move what he wanted to the top [02:14] soreau: ye i can't remember how i added it haha [02:14] chris: if you switch ttyl at startup, can you login as the user or root? [02:15] elegantchaos, I doubt grub is the root problem, more likely a kernel / harware compatability issue. Are you getting any error messages during boot? [02:15] cablop: cant change keyboard layout.. thats not a bug! [02:15] a3: Even if you were able to get xrandr working this way, it would reset after X restart. Ultimately you will want to add a mode line to xorg.conf [02:15] Kemp_Family: in terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal), run route , do you see your router there? [02:15] ps2pdf : i can log on as a different user, and i put in root as user but dont know password [02:16] will my comp be faster when i install lubuntu and will i can acess gnome again ?? [02:16] i did see "64 bit" in lineage.. but am surei m using 32 bit ata 2 and ata4 marked "dummy" are the last lines on start up in recovery [02:16] run: command not found [02:16] chris: is this correct then: you don't know your username's password or the root password? [02:16] soreau: any suggestions on doing that? i'm only just starting on ubuntu and this is on my list of problems i've had so far [02:16] Kemp_Family: i am sorry, just "route" in terminal without quotes [02:17] can anybody answer me [02:17] ps2pdf : yes [02:17] Kemp_Family: you should see your Router's IP under Gateway column, do you see this? [02:17] travis__: not sure what his problem is! [02:17] lubuntu doesnt have gnome installed, but you can install it through synaptics [02:17] nope, it is blank for Gateway [02:17] chris: i think recovery is the only option, anyone else know a way for chris to recover his password for username or root? [02:18] Kemp_Family: ok, that is the problem, your Ubuntu is not detecting your router as the gateway, does your computer run alright in Windows mode if you have Windows installed? [02:19] yes, it is dual booted with 7 n the wireless is just fine [02:19] ps2pdf: is chris working off a live cd? [02:19] elegantchaos, you can enable an extended log funciton for boot errors: In /etc/default/bootlogd edit BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No [02:19] to say yes, then review the results. [02:19] h07: i do not believe so [02:19] ps2pdf: you may be able to chroot, not sure [02:19] Kemp_Family: ok, in terminal, try "sudo service network restart" without quotes [02:19] ps2pdf: chroot then run: sudo passwd foo [02:19] thanks i will try and let you know :) [02:19] ok got a quick question I got to change file permissions using nautalis and I can click and change it but as soon as i move the mouse it snaps back to what it was before i changed it, any suggestions? [02:19] chris: did you see actionParsnip's suggestion above? [02:20] ps2pdf: in the past Ive used system-rescue cd to do just that [02:20] why are there two conflicting packages: "gcc-mingw32" and "mingw32" they have hte same description... [02:20] network: unrecognized service [02:20] a3: Maybe you can google for an xorg.conf that has mode lines [02:21] pharacon: are you the owner of the file? [02:21] Kemp_Family: ok, in terminal, try "sudo service networking restart" without quotes, try networking instead of network [02:21] yes [02:21] i just made the folder [02:21] Kemp_Family: ok, in terminal, try "sudo /etc/init.d/network restart" without quotes, that should also work if service is again not recognized [02:21] but i want to allow a group to have full access to it [02:22] Kemp_Family: You say wireless works in win7 but hardwire does not work in ubuntu. That isnt a fair comparison, even though I know you are trying to ultimately get wireless working, something could be physically wrong with your ethernet cable and/or termination connections [02:22] soraeu: thanks will take a look now at least im on the right track [02:22] pharacon: hmm, so the partition is writable and you are the owner, should be ok. If you change it in terminal does it stick? [02:22] anyone happen to know what the tablet is that appears on the ubuntu homepage? or is it just a mock-up [02:22] soreau: they have an ip in ifconfig, can't ping ip addresses, and have no IP in route's gateway [02:22] i'm a noob, i do not know how :( [02:22] ls [02:22] when i am watchin a movie every few minutes my screen starts to fade and then go black but if i move my mouse when it starts to fade it stays ok--its aggravating when im tryn watch something-anyone kno how to stop this? [02:23] Kemp_Family, what kinda router isit ? [02:23] keplar: whats the link to the page? [02:23] it seems like naut just doesn't allow for it [02:23] hi room what is the best solution for remote desktop ... I have tried vnc but is slow ... comparing it to Win. solution (RDP) [02:23] www.ubuntu.com [02:23] :P [02:23] DeM0nFiRe: you had a question way back about listing packages by size. You could try: dpkg-query -W -f '${Installed-Size} ${Package}\n' | sort -n [02:23] keplar: bleh [02:23] keplar: full link please [02:23] linksys [02:23] it is in the "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is here!" advert on the main page [02:23] Kemp_Family: make sure you disable opwer management on the ethernet device as well as the ability to "wake windows up", both are set in device manager. This can make the device not get "ocked" even when windows is off [02:23] thune3, yeah, thanks I found it already [02:23] Kemp_Family, and what system 10.04 ? [02:24] hiexpo: yes, they are on 10.04 [02:24] http://www.ubuntu.com/sites/default/files/active/02_ubuntu/U_homepage/U0.0_carousel_01.png [02:24] preecher: its the screen saver [02:24] my wife has unbuntu the wirless works just fine [02:24] what kinda router ? [02:24] actionParsnip ok thx [02:24] hiexpo: linksys they said, you need the model? [02:24] Kemp_Family: Which wifi card do you have btw that you need a driver for?

[02:25] oh, keplar beat me to it [02:25] nevermind [02:25] :P [02:26] i was trying to zoom in to see the logos and stuff, but can't get a clear picture :( [02:26] keplar: ohh is that a tab Pc? [02:26] i thought so. it may be an all-in-one i guess :/ [02:26] hi [02:26] soreau: i have seen this bug in Ubuntu 9.10, where i get an IP from the router, but nothing in the route, and can't ping any IPs [02:26] Fresh install of 10.04 with the /home from 8.04 copied back. For some reason, clicking on items in the Places menu is bringing up Firefox as the File manager instead of nautilus. I've looked in gconf-editor but can't find anything that isn't setup correctly. There's no setting for file manager in preferred applications and nothing I can find for file manager in /etc/alternatives. [02:26] but no keyboard and mouse in view [02:26] keplar: looks like a mock up to me [02:27] leftyfb: did you chown the folders to the new user? [02:27] looking for a good slate w/ multitouch [02:27] or it could be a moniter, ive seen some without a logo [02:27] actionParsnip: it's the same UID so no need [02:27] asus has some monitors of that style, not off the desk, just propped up from behind === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [02:27] leftyfb: ok thats cool, god to check ;) [02:27] i was just hoping it was a tablet :( [02:27] *good [02:27] hello does anyone know how to get past activex problems on web pages? [02:27] get a mac [02:27] travis_ yeah sure but those buttons at the base? [02:28] usacomputertec: use internet explorer under wine or in Virtualbox. There's no activex for Ubuntu [02:28] I have a web page that requires activex even if I use the user agent switcher and tell it I'm using Windows and IE6 [02:28] they may be like the monitor menu buttons [02:28] ok heres what ya gotta do > heres the problem with eth it sometimes chages eth upon each boot so what ya gotta do is right click on network manager than hit edit than click wired see what eth it is eth 0 > 1 2 3etc than click the one your on than edit it i will go on after you tell me that is the prob changing eth number upon reboot [02:28] pcw: http://superuser.com/questions/137007/how-to-convert-stardict-dictionary-file-format-to-any-readable-format [02:28] usacomputertec: there's no activex for ubuntu or any linux distro [02:28] keplar: if you looking for all in one, have you seen this one: http://www.gateway.com/programs/zxseries/index.php?cmpid=topnav_computers [02:28] i think its multitouch and stuff [02:28] ps2pdf:Super thanks [02:29] Kemp_Family, ^ [02:29] nah, looking for a tablet/slate [02:29] yes [02:29] oh [02:29] like an ipad i guess, but with good software :D [02:29] leftyfb: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install nautilus it may reset the default apps in gconf [02:29] travis_ hah mock up to me! [02:29] i think the asus eeepad will be my choice when it (maybe) comes out next year [02:29] Kemp_Family, so is that whats going on ? [02:29] i want an ipad with real software too [02:30] same as before [02:30] Kemp_Family: Assuming your routers ip is 192.168.1.1, can you try this? sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo /sbin/route del default && sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.110 && sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1 && sudo /sbin/iptables -F && sudo /sbin/iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT && sudo /sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT && sudo /sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT [02:30] i saw someone put ubuntu on an archos 9, seemed pretty decent [02:30] hi room what is the best solution for remote desktop ... I have tried vnc but is slow ... comparing it to Win. solution (RDP) [02:30] usacomputertec: under wine, you can install IE6 in Ubuntu 10.04 [02:30] for tablet(at least there called tablet) i found a HP and Lenovo and Fujitsu [02:30] octavio-rdz: why do you want to view the remote desktop? [02:30] i dont want the keyboard deal, just a slate like an ipad [02:30] oh i get it now sorry [02:30] remote desktop viewer works well for me [02:31] Kemp_Family: Then try to ping 8.8.8.8 [02:31] ohhh an IPAD with linux (droooool) [02:31] .

[02:31] but i dont think linux is up to it [02:31] that is kinda what im looking for [02:31] that might be what your talking about it has a lot of slate [02:31] actionParsnip: I want to access my home computer from my office. (in a secure way) [02:32] h07: by xmas time thers zuppsed to be several 'tablet' type devices out with linux/ubuntu [02:32] octanium: teamviewer.com [02:32] octavio-rdz: but for what reason, there are usually more elegant solutions than vnc [02:32] remote desktop viewer... should be fine [02:32] oops [02:32] octavio-rdz: teamviewer.com [02:32] checking that site out now, there are a lot of slates there [02:32] Dr_Willis: from who?

It should justwork OOTB [02:35] octavio-rdz: use ssh with winscp [02:35] Kemp_Family, ok than upon hitting edit click ipv4 than hit method click manual than hit add in add type > pm me if ya wanna know the rest ok [02:35] octavio-rdz: use ssh for quick file transfers, use teamviewer for full remote desktop [02:35] leftyfb: it is not? I read that it was based on UltraVNC code [02:35] Kemp_Family: sudo dhclient eth0 [02:35] thats almost sick DeMo [02:35] haha i found a vdeo with ubuntu on iphone [02:35] octavio-rdz: torrent cliebts have web interfaces [02:35] Kemp_Family: but you shouldnt have to do any of this because it should already be working [02:35] !ot | DeM0nFiRe elegantchaos [02:35] vvideo [02:35] DeM0nFiRe elegantchaos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

WIth each kernel update, i jhope it gets fixed. :( [02:35] oops sorry admin [02:35] octavio-rdz: I stand corrected. Either way, it's VNC done right then. Just go try it. Doesn't really get any better than that [02:36] h07: theres rumors of some in the $100 range also. but i will wait and see [02:36] soreau: they should run it without the eth0, so it refreshes all interfaces [02:36] how can i upgrade my intel bios from the terminal?

The only reason I can see vnc being used is for training and presentations over lan, otherwise there are much faster and sleeker solutions to why most users think they need vnc [02:39] Dr_Willis: I wouldnt buy! it unless some sort of linux [02:39] I'm trying to set up a windows 7 installation, on a RAID 0 array.

When Ubuntu installed it installed the drivers but now the nic has changed. [02:41] Todd__: what 'nic' are you trying to uise? [02:41] Todd__: did remove or disable the previous "nic"? [02:42] There are 2 actually. One in the mobo which I assume will be more difficult. I also have one in a pci slot. [02:42] Todd__: why do you need multiple nic's? [02:42] Todd__: most wired nics should be just plug in the wire.. and they work [02:42] octavio-rdz: many torrent clients have web clients so you can check your downloads from any PC and there are even smartphone apps which talk to some torrent apps [02:42] It's just some basic nic card. When I went to the manufacturer site they indicated it was integrated into the linux core. [02:42] no answer? [02:42] Todd__: why do you need multiple nic's? [02:42] Todd__: what OS? [02:43] OS is Ubuntu server 10. Need to because this is being configured as a firewall. [02:43] to = two [02:43] actionParsnip: ok, going to look for one of those [02:43] Gametime: see ##windows for help with install [02:44] Todd__: and it didnt pick them up? [02:44] soreau: new error :( [02:44] I had ubuntu server installed and working and mobo fried. installed new mobo and it does not recognize the new mobo integrated network card. [02:45] I installed a generic card in an pci slot to see if this would work and it does not see that one either. [02:45] Todd__: does sudo ifconfig eth0 ; sudo ifconfig eth1 show you both nic's? [02:45] Todd__: does windows pick it up? [02:45] It shows me only the pci slot card. [02:46] If I remember correctly.

But when I find my settings with synclient -m 150 and plub them in, I get erratic scrolling behavior. even without emulatetwofingers enabled, whenever i touch the touchpad with two fingers, the cursor moves around eratically. Does anyone know how I could get two-finger scrolling to work? [03:00] here's my synclient -; [03:00] *synclient -l [03:00] http://dpaste.com/222590/ [03:01] hello everybody. I just updated to 10.04 and am getting some troubles. To begin with the most important one; now I cannot, or don't know how to access, other (NTFS) partitions on this PC. I can only guess this is related to an error message I'm geting on startup: "An error occurred while mounting 'blkid. Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"(sic) I tried M once but, not knowing... [03:01] ...what to do, haven't tried again. I can see the partitions with gpaterd and Disk Utility; but thats about it. What can I do?? TIA! [03:02] Kemp_Family, did ya figure it out ? [03:04] nimbiotics, is it a dual boot machine? [03:04] sjm: yes [03:05] nimbiotics, I get that when I suspend windows. It is still marked as active so Ubuntu won't mount it to change anything. boot back into windows and shutdown rather than suspending or hibernating and try again. [03:05] so I backed up ~ and then formatted and re-installed ubuntu. I copied .evolution and .evolution-backup from /backup to ~ and nothings there. Thoughts? [03:06] sjm: I dont thinks thats the case, but will give it a try, BRB [03:09] Does the Gnome panel fix their bug yet? the one that if you by mistake delete the sond icon, it can no longer be there [03:09] *sound icon [03:10] Ubuntus: it's part of the indicator applet as of 10.04, so add that back to your panel [03:10] It cant be added agaim, there is no such an option in the RMB [03:11] theres is just a bunch of usless option in the add to panel menu [03:11] add to panel indicator applet [03:11] no sound icon there [03:11] Ubuntus: there is no sound applet, it is part of Indicator Applet [03:13] which WM does the default ubuntu run on?

Use wine for gaming. [03:44] Guest23762: theres a wine ppa as well which will give a later build which may help in some cases. Wine is a very strange animal. [03:44] if you have a copy of windows already I would just install VMWare Player (free), install your windows on it and then run it in unity mode [03:44] works far better than wine [03:44] !pm | vtuxbox thats not kool [03:44] vtuxbox thats not kool: 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.

[03:54] Guest23762, assuming Gnome, double click on a windows EXE file and you'll probably get an error about executable, so right click the EXE properties and put a checkmark in "make executable" and apply it. Then double click on the EXE again and it should start. You want the EXE installs, or if they are installed on a windows partition you can try those as well (might fail due to missing install stuff though) [03:54] oh ok, thx zenergi [03:54] somehow the sound options are stretched too much vertically that i can't resize it to see all the options?

[04:15] !blacklist | kisuke [04:15] kisuke: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [04:15] surfereddie: you can see what is installed with dpkg -l [04:15] ZykoticK9: close enough, thanks. [04:15] surfereddie: filter that with dpkg -l | grep nx [04:15] anyone know how to simulate the "next song" button by pressing something like cntrl+shift+. ? [04:15] [jeremy77]: once u log in to your account numlock stays open [04:16] no matter if the lamp is closed at ur loggin screen [04:16] If I have a VPN connection and a bunch of computers on a LAN, can I just have them all connect to the VPN separately or do I have to set up some sort of special server and routing? [04:16] I mean like having 2 computers use networkmanager to connect to the same VPN account [04:16] peepingtom: one has to be the server [04:17] cornwallis_, system / preferences / keyboard shortcuts -- Next Track [04:17] peepingtom: one has to be the server [04:17] ZykoticK9: i love you [04:17] Quesiton about CPU speed: IN the system monitor, my Laptops CPU-Speed = 1.73Ghz, but when checking /proc/cpuinfo it says cpu Mhz = 798 MHZ, any cluses as to what's going on there? [04:18] so much love and affection that is what ubuntu is all about :P [04:18] except at times [04:18] where you get so frustrated [04:18] and you want to just reformat === thoma582 is now known as ThomasB2k [04:18] hi, is it possible for me to log in automatically with a remote account in ubuntu? [04:18] h07, natex [04:18] [ThomasB2k]: never! [04:18] i wanted to log a remote account in ubuntu [04:19] what's a good tutorial for wine? website? [04:19] natex: thanks [04:19] love and affection OT me thinks :P [04:19] lolmac233: log in graphically? or via shell? [04:19] when ubuntu starts it asks for a user and password, but it logs another user (a remote one) automatically [04:19] via shell [04:19] natex: ran purge on nxserver and cannot shutdown nxserver error [04:19] but i could access it remotely from another computer [04:19] * ThomasB2k dislikes the constant join/part messages in this channel [04:19] lolmac233, use PGP & SSH Authentication. Just make sure your the only one that's going to use the computer to access the remote machine. [04:20] bbl [04:20] h07 that is what ubuntu is all about m8 [04:20] surfereddie: you'll have to stop the service I guess. Do you know how? [04:20] okay, this is retarded, when ever the mouse lock on my laptop ios rpessed, the keyboard stops working untill reboot, applications do not work, terminal does not work, clcking icons doesn't work, nor does restarting...the only option is to hard reset....sorry for saying this, but what the fuck [04:20] Guest23762, to be honest i don't remember seeing a "good" wine tutuorial. FYI from command line you can run "wine ApplicationName.exe" and it won't give permission issues. [04:20] korben: hehe still ####OT [04:20] I have a ati HD2600xt so do I have to remove default driver before i download and install the amd drivers? [04:20] KE1HA, ok thanks, also, do you know if ubuntu supports concurrent remote sessions? [04:20] thanks zkykotick [04:21] even from cli wine wants the exe to be executible [04:21] lolmac233, yes i do it all the time [04:21] 1 user using the computer locally (user A account ) and another user using it remotely (user b account) [04:21] how do you add applications to wine? [04:21] libraries? [04:22] hmm, so is it possible to make the account log on automatically? [04:22] i don't remember openning an actually usefull app with wine except a game or two [04:22] lolmac233: yes you can do that. You'll need either vnc or freenx [04:22] How do you mean concurrent ? [04:22] natex: no I do not [04:22] I need some help with X.org. or is it X11? anyway...i need some help [04:22] KE1HA, at the same time, two or more accounts accessed/used simultaneously [04:22] in the same computer [04:23] keen101: what's your question? [04:23] okay, when ever the mouse lock on my laptop ios rpessed, the keyboard stops working untill reboot, applications do not work, terminal does not work, clcking icons doesn't work, nor does restarting...the only option is to hard reset....how do i fix this, the mouse lock button completely breaks linux :@ [04:23] Guest23762, get the installers for the stuff you need as you would in windows - download the EXEs, then install them using wine. you might also want to check out the winetricks script, pretty handy for stuff. [04:23] keen101: what the problem? [04:23] Yes, by putting your Public Signature on the remote computer, when you log via SSH, no PW is required. [04:23] Guest23762: Typically, if you install it via Wine, it will be added to the Program Files menu. You can also find the wine directory at: /home/username/.wine/drive_c [04:23] i wanted to re-enable the GDM restart with Ctrl Alt Backspace and used the command setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_f9 [04:23] now i need to know how to undo that.... [04:24] this is day 1 for me with wine....little confused [04:24] what' wrong with wine? [04:24] !dontzap | keen101 [04:24] keen101: thats confusing [04:24] keen101: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [04:25] keen101, graphical way is to go to system > preferences > keyboard > layouts > options > key sequence to kill x server [04:25] Guest23762: If you download, or use from a CD or something, an .exe - you should be able to double-click, or right-click and open with wine. It should run in Wine and install within Wine. [04:25] keen101, OHHH sorry i have no idea about your issue! i never used the setxkbmap before. good luck man. [04:25] !dontzap | keen101 [04:25] keen101: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [04:25] okay, when ever the mouse lock on my laptop ios rpessed, the keyboard stops working untill reboot, applications do not work, terminal does not work, clcking icons doesn't work, nor does restarting...the only option is to hard reset....how do i fix this, the mouse lock button completely breaks linux :@ [04:25] Guest23762: Then if you go to Applications > Wine > Program Files - it should be in there. [04:25] i used the command "setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_f9" from a terminal. It doesent work the way i wanted to. And yes, i figured out the graphical way. But, when i press CTRl_ALT_F9 the screen blacks out. [04:26] really....wow [04:26] does totem support dvd menus on a commercial dvd? [04:26] It might also put an icon on your Desktop. [04:26] is it ok to down load and install ati proprietary driver while ubuntu default video driver is running? [04:26] keen101, so press ctrl+alt+f7 or f8 [04:26] bsmith0931: Not sure about totem, but VLC does for sure. [04:26] thx [04:26] pop quiz: how do you launch a document (e.g. mydoc.pdf, myspreadsheet.xls) from an xterm, if you don't know what application it's associated with? [04:26] ZykoticK9, huh? [04:27] is ubuntu different than dos or do i download linux versions [04:27] keen101: CTRL_ATL_F9 is a terminal [04:27] oh. [04:27] i am finished with my wine tonight....little drunk thanks for the help [04:27] trying to find the door [04:27] Guest23762: too much wine :P [04:28] keen101, h07 actually it's a virtual x terminal to be more precise. if you had multiple x sessions running you might see something there. [04:28] hi guys [04:28] Guest23762.. had me laughing. [04:28] Guest23762 [04:28] http://translate.google.ru/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntologia.ru%2Fwine&sl=ru&tl=en [04:28] ZykoticK9: thats my point! [04:28] never mind, I've found it - "gnome-open" [04:29] Okay, so your saying that that was already a shortcut for a terminal? well... how to get out of the terminal if i got into it? [04:29] okay, when ever the mouse lock on my laptop ios rpessed, the keyboard stops working untill reboot, applications do not work, terminal does not work, clcking icons doesn't work, nor does restarting...the only option is to hard reset....how do i fix this, the mouse lock button completely breaks linux :@ [04:29] anyone else having problems with absolute crap wake from suspend with 10.4 as in it's actually faster to reboot? [04:29] guest1: HE just signed off. =/ [04:29] h07, what's your point? [04:29] natex: it's gone. I'm going to reinstall it but wanted to know before you go if you are using SSH and putty on a Win client? [04:29] sixofour: sounds like a driver issue [04:29] if i wanted to mount an encrypted /home/user partition from a different ubuntu, how might i go about it? [04:29] h07, are you using gdmflexiserver or something? [04:29] everybody is completely ignoring poor sixofour and i can't help him out :( [04:29] lol [04:30] surfereddie: I use putty and nxserver for my remote needs/ [04:30] ZykoticK9: CTRL_ATL_F9 is a terminal [04:30] korben: What's going on? [04:30] okay, when ever the mouse lock on my laptop ios rpessed, the keyboard stops working untill reboot, applications do not work, terminal does not work, clcking icons doesn't work, nor does restarting...the only option is to hard reset....how do i fix this, the mouse lock button completely breaks linux :@ [04:30] h07, not a terminal - but an Xorg window [04:30] natex: what about SSH? [04:30] tat @ therealpsychx [04:30] surfereddie: yes [04:30] that* [04:30] As in, I'm running a different Ubuntu instance on the same machine, with the partition containing the ecryptfs home. [04:30] anyone else on wake from suspend total shit response? [04:30] surfereddie: nx needs ssh [04:30] h07, F1-F6 are terminals [04:30] ZykoticK9: CTRL_ATL_F7 is not that? [04:30] sixofour: So you press the mouse lock, then can't get out of it - or do anything at all? Then you hold the power button on the laptop? [04:30] [therealpsychx]: he has crushes because of mouselock ? [04:30] therealpsychx pressing mouse lock pretty much breaks linux [04:31] h07, 7-10 are GUI "terminals" [04:31] thanks so much for the help!!! [04:31] i turn it off, but nothing works after [04:31] ....interesting.... [04:31] ZykoticK9: no no no [04:31] and i have to do a hard reset [04:31] cutterjohn, I get a blank white screen. I just type my password and hit enter. It works [04:31] sixofour: Just wondering, what kind of laptop is it? [04:31] the mouse works after i turn it off, but everything else doesn't [04:31] hp [04:31] ZykoticK9: noly F7 is a GUI [04:31] sixofour: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [04:32] the latest [04:32] alt+f7 is GUI [04:32] h07, yes yes yes. they are Xorg--Virtual-Terminals - i don't know there technical name. F7 F8 F9 & F10 yes are GUI [04:32] joeb3, not my problem I get the hdd going apeshit and the system not responding to anything other than ALT-SYSRQ+RSEINUB unless I wait c. 5m [04:32] hello guys [04:32] okay, cool. so i didnt mess up my system. I just tried Ctrl_Alt_F9 on another machine and it went black too, so i guess it is a terminal [04:32] h07: you can have F8 and more too [04:32] i am sure it is just a driver thing, i am sure that the mouse lock is translated with something else that is not supported and crashes [04:32] ZykoticK9: well thats not so ONLY one is gui [04:33] ....but... typing "exit" doesent do anything...hmmm [04:33] h07, you can have multiple! [04:33] sixofour: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [04:33] joeb3 just faster to emerg reboot by ALT-SYSRQ [04:33] ZykoticK9: not by default [04:33] how do i exit that terminal? [04:33] h07, gdmflexiserver and log in as another user - only one user at a time! [04:33] let me check [04:33] cutterjohn, ok [04:33] yes therealpsychx [04:33] when i press ctrl + alt +f5 my cli gives me theses errors constantly unable to enumerate usb device on port 3 [04:33] hub cannot disable port 3 (error=-32) [04:33] usb device not accepting adress 0 , error =-71 [04:34] h07: try it... in ubuntu log inas another user. then use ctrl+alt+f7/f8 to swith back and forth [04:34] hello everybody. I just updated to 10.04 and am getting weird behaviour. To begin with the most important one; now I cannot, or don't know how to access, other (NTFS) partitions on this PC. I can only guess this is related to an error message I'm getting on startup: "An error occurred while mounting 'blkid. Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"(sic) I tried M once but, not... [04:34] ...knowing what to do, haven't tried again. I can see the partitions with gparted and Disk Utility; but thats about it. What can I do?? TIA! [04:34] (this IS a CLEAN install BTW) [04:34] sixofour: Ok [04:34] (x86-64) [04:34] is there any way to disable ipv6? [04:34] ZykoticK9: another user maybe but not by default [04:35] h07, i don't understand why you can't try it and see - all by default. (but yes your system would need 2 users) [04:35] maybe I should go to a different chat room for my problem? [04:35] nimbiotics, sounds liek the partitions werent cleanly unmounted so you may have to boot into windows and run chkdsk and reboot a few more times to fix the partition then boot back into ubuntu [04:36] okay. nevermind. i guess Ctrl_Alt_F7 exits from the strange terminals.....wierd. Thanks guys!!! [04:36] ZykoticK9: thats a mote point [04:36] ZykoticK9: h07 sorry to butt in. but a single user can have two gui sessions. Use startx -- :1 for another gui session [04:36] ZykoticK9: only F7 is a GUI [04:36] ZykoticK9: h07 man startx [04:36] Press the key combination + + . You will be back to prompt login:. However, this is not a return to the top of the system - you just switched to another virtual terminal. Here you can register under a different name. Try to log in as the newly instigated user. Then press the key combination + + . You will return to the first screen. By default, Red Hat Linux opens when you start 6 parallel sessions of work (virtual terminals) [04:36] [keen101]: lol that is not a strange terminal that is the actuall terminal [04:37] natex, i wouldn't do that if i where you. that feature was removed from GDM for a reason. [04:37] [keen101]: and u get to it by alt+F1 alt+F2 and get away from it with alt+F7 [04:37] ZykoticK9: what's the reason? [04:37] sixofour: I'm trying to figure it out, hold on a sec. [04:37] [keen101]: that is the actuall linux terminal :P [04:37] k [04:37] digitalfiz: i ran chkdsk a while ago on both disks, booted back to windows and then back to ubuntu; same thing :( [04:37] natex, multiple files in home dir being written at the same time. [04:37] okay, then why cant i type anyhting in that terminal? [04:37] natex, i believe it only messes with the user account, it's not really a system issue. [04:37] a user cant have two gui terminals by default [04:37] [keen101]: u have to login [04:38] [keen101]: because it is a terminal like "outside" of the desktop enviroment [04:38] interesting. [04:38] !ipv6 >kisuke [04:38] kisuke, please see my private message [04:38] ZykoticK9: I see. not really an issue unless you have a clone of yourself working remotely :) [04:38] does anyone get random crashes with xchat-gnome? [04:38] nimbiotics, you have to run chkdsk and fix all problems then reboot into windows a few times im not sure why but you have to do it a few times in a row then boot into ubuntu some weird ntfs quirk [04:38] natex, which you would have if you have 2 Xorg sessions running at the same time - it's not even remote! [04:38] it happens to me all the time on lucid 64bit so i've switched to irssi [04:39] [keen101]: it just works parallel with the desktop enviroment and u get back to your desktop with alt+F7 [04:39] digitalfiz: roger, will try, thanks! [04:39] nimbiotics: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? [04:39] ZykoticK9: :) [04:39] cool. Never knew that before. [04:39] basicly keen101 when u start console terminal from gnome it is gnome's terminal [04:39] Korben, yeah i knew that. [04:39] are there any other channles than -dev that are better than this? [04:39] ZykoticK9: 2 Xorg sessions running how? [04:40] where someone might have a clue? [04:40] but the one u see with alt+F1 is like the console of linux it self not of gnome [04:40] oo, use the real xchat instead of xchat-gnome, just my opinion mind you - might not be worth much ;) [04:40] keen101: consider that Unix and Linux have been around for a long time, before the window managers and X and stuff like that, so it was a way to switch between programs. Now you can do stuff like run multiple users at the same time [04:40] morning [04:40] cutterjohn: about what? [04:40] Jordan_U: http://dpaste.com/222606/ [04:40] [keen101]: so there are terminals till F6 and F7 closes them [04:40] Yeah I switched to irssi but i'll try that [04:40] !attitude | cutterjohn [04:40] cutterjohn: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [04:41] nimbiotics: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/" ? [04:41] I just want something in the ubutu repositories so I get security updates [04:41] Hmm.. okay. Yeah, i wasnt really around when Unix was dominant. [04:41] [keen101]: well actually not closes them just switches back to graffic [04:41] cutterjohn, i dont think there is a helpful channel for poor attitudes lol good luck though === travis is now known as Guest69819 [04:41] my first computer ran DOS. :( [04:41] keen101: ubuntu ISNT unix :P [04:42] h07: yes i know. [04:42] [keen101] you can use virtual terminal to kill some processes when your GUI dektop "has hanged" [04:42] Jordan_U: no output [04:42] sixofour: Something you can try is going to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, then search for something called: gpointing-device-settings [04:42] so u where arround when linux came up ;p [04:42] heheheheh [04:42] does anyone have trouble with this site? i cant get it to load all the way whatsoever: http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/products_id/866 [04:42] haha [04:42] k [04:42] if u say no u have to be going to elementary school by now [04:42] sixofour: It basically gives you more control over the settings for the touchpad. [04:42] its a site for free xubuntu cd [04:42] nimbiotics: That's good, you should now be able to access you files from "My Media" by going to Filesystem > mnt ("ls /mnt"). [04:43] hi, FF and chrome both flash plugin crash when trying to load express.paltalk, a web-based paltalk client. Anyone, advise me? [04:43] sixofour: Also, check out this Ubuntuforums post.. I'll PM it to you. [04:43] Hi everyone [04:43] nimbiotics: Of course that's only one of the two ntfs partitions you have. [04:43] It's very easy to confuse myself. [04:43] keen101: linux is a UNIX clone [04:44] [livingdaylight]: have u downloaded the latest flash plugin? [04:44] 10.1 ? [04:44] I have a problem connecting to my wireless network in ubuntu, I have the version 10.4, my wireless card is RTL8187 and it see the network but cant connect [04:44] hey guys i run dd if=/dev/sda of=~/disk1.img and get dd: opening `/dev/sda': Permission denied [04:44] Isnt OSX Unix with a bunch of proprietary mish-mosh added on top? [04:44] i want to make a image for backup purposes [04:44] Guest88149: It's loading very slowly for me, probably a server side problem. [04:44] Omar_pimental: did you upgrade form an earlier version of Ubuntu, and do you have access to an internet connection over ethernet? [04:44] Jordan_U: sorry, im a noob and cant understand your previous message, still tryng to figure it out [04:45] keen101: no OS uese linux! [04:45] please, can someone help me? [04:45] keen101, osx has a bsd core [04:45] The connection worked fine a few days ago [04:45] http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/products_id/866 doesn't load [04:45] whats is the difference between bsd and unix? [04:45] !ot | keen101 [04:45] keen101: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:45] flash plugin crashes a lot here. anyone?> [04:45] I did a clean install of ubuntu 10.4 [04:45] okay. thanks the help!! bye! [04:45] keen101:an auful lot! [04:45] Evolution-X: you may need to write the image to another drive. Also, make sure you have proper write permissions. [04:45] I'm on topic but ignored :/ [04:46] nimbiotics: If you go to Places > Computer, then select "Filesystem", then select the directory there named "mnt", you will see the files from the partition named "My Media". [04:46] [livingdaylight]: download the latest one 10.1 [04:46] i answered u before [04:46] livingdaylight: flash is spotty on linux. Are you using 64 bit? Or 32? [04:46] i have mi ipod plugdin for that,,how i make sure i have permission [04:47] natex, 32 - I think [04:47] Evolution-X: You need to run that with sudo, but be *very* carefull with dd, accidentily switching if= and of= for instance can trash your entire drive. [04:47] livingdaylight, i give natex's comment +1 [04:47] ando how i send that to the ipod [04:47] [Evolution-X]: run it with root console [04:47] OMG [04:47] but paltalk express is designed to work on Linux [04:47] how can i backup then [04:47] livingdaylight: other flash sites work? [04:47] have tomcat installed and put a WAR file in the webapps directory : why would it not be auto deployed? the server.xml is set to autodeploy [04:48] natex, youtube etc, YES [04:48] [livingdaylight]: Have you downloaded the LATEST 10.1 version ? [04:48] of flash? [04:48] how do I restart X now that ctrl-alt-del is deprecated? [04:48] y try to use grsync but have a virtual machine here too about 10G and stop the prosses because is too big the virtual machine [04:48] Evolution-X: That command will work if you put "sudo " in front of it, if you want an option that is less likely to cause serious problems with a typo then try an app called clonezilla. [04:48] livingdaylight, are you sure paltalk express is using only flash? could this be a java issue? [04:48] capleton, power button :P [04:48] Jordan_U: indeed, but why is it that all items are grey? [04:49] [capleton]: run shutdown -r now [04:49] capleton: alt-sysrq-k [04:49] as root [04:49] capleton, alt+sysrq+k [04:49] nimbiotics: I don't know. [04:49] !dontzap | capleton [04:49] capleton: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [04:49] Jordan_U: a;; seems good though [04:49] capleton: init 1 [04:49] i try to get that from pendrivelinux i did everything thay said and didnt work for me [04:49] ZykoticK9, you may well be right. it just that I get the flash complaint pop up [04:49] thnx [04:49] Omar_pimentel: I'm sorry I thought you said rt2*** not rtl*****, I dont knwo anything about realtek drivers and cant help you. good luck though! [04:49] capleton ctrl+alt+f1 killall X.org [04:49] ZykoticK9, I do have java installed too [04:49] Okay, so I'm trying to mount.ecryptfs /mnt/home/foo/.Private to /home/foo/oldhome, but it keeps mounting /home/foo/.Private instead [04:49] livingdaylight: what is the web address? [04:50] where can i get clonezilla .iso so i can burn to disk and boot [04:50] livingdaylight, are you using the default opensource java or the oracle/sun java (which is in the Partner repository, not turned on by default!) [04:50] Why is it doing this, and what should I do to make it aright? [04:50] natex, http://www.paltalk.com/express/ [04:50] Evolution-X clonezilla's site has one [04:50] Jordan_U: (all*) how can we mount the "Win XP SP3" partition? [04:50] I have a problem connecting to my wireless network in ubuntu, I have the version 10.4, my wireless card is RTL8187 and it see the network but cant connect, Can somebody please help me?? [04:50] clonezilla.org [04:51] nimbiotics: like any other drive [04:51] ok [04:51] thanks [04:51] ZykoticK9, I don't think I@m using the opensource version of java - ice-tea - ? How can I tell for sure? [04:51] pretty sure i'm using Sun's java [04:51] nimbiotics: First try selecting it in Places > Computer. Is it listed there? [04:51] livingdaylight: about:config in firefox's loxation bar [04:52] livingdaylight, i get an error about OS! You might have to try this in WINE Firefox! [04:52] Jordan_U: no [04:52] livingdaylight: I'm using default Ubuntu java and flash. It's working for me. [04:52] ZykoticK9, no, express is web-based and it says it runs on windown, max and linux on their site from any browser like ff and opera === oo is now known as peepingtom [04:52] livingdaylight, see natex's comment ;) good news [04:52] natex, that's frustrating then [04:53] livingdaylight: yeah [04:53] livingdaylight: whats broken lol [04:53] gogeta, my ubuntu it looks like, argh. [04:53] livingdaylight: update your flash? [04:53] natex, how so? [04:53] nimbiotics: Odd, you can unmount your "My Media" partition and mount your "Win XP SP3" partition with "sudo umount /mnt/" then "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt". Then your [04:54] ah ok drop me on to that netwotk [04:54] Jordan_U: flagged dirty ntfs will not automount he probly needs to boot xp and let chkdsk run [04:54] nimbiotics: ... Then your "Win XP SP3" files will be available in /mnt (like your "My Media" files were before). [04:54] livingdaylight: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [04:54] natex, what flash are you using? ie. how did you install it, more then the version number. [04:55] I'm currently runing 8.10. Update suggests 9.04. If I update, what changes will I see? [04:55] hey can some1 tel me how to use mutt to download only unread mails from servers but nt all emails? [04:55] ZykoticK9: livingdaylight: I'm using the adobe flashplugin installer [04:55] Tamnakz: you can change that to go stragt to lucid [04:55] natex, looks like I already have the newest version. And you're running sun's java or the opensource version which ubuntu is set to by default? [04:55] Tamnakz: change your upgrade prefs from normal to lts [04:56] gogeta: You can't upgrade directly from 9.04 to 10.04. [04:56] gogeta, what's the difference? [04:56] Jordan_U: hes on 8.10 [04:56] gogeta: You can't upgrade directly from 8.10 either :) [04:56] livingdaylight: java-common (non-Sun I think) [04:56] Tamnakz: its the next long term support ubuntu [04:56] gogeta: Only 8.04. [04:56] oh [04:56] how long is the support for 9.04? [04:57] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:58] Tamnakz: normal releses are 1 year lts are 3 [04:58] gogeta: I wasn't gonna update for now, but I'm already seeing problems. . . [04:58] !support [04:58] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [04:59] Hi everyone, I am having a major problem with cryptsetup & key-files--I had to reboot my 8.04 LTS server, and after reboot, cryptsetup does not work for one of two encrypted disks I have; one disk unencrypts fine with it's key file, while the other one gives me the error "Command failed: No key available with the passphrase." Nothing has changed with regards to the key-files or setup that I know of. [04:59] Jordan_U: perfect! it worked, guess i can go on my ownby googling help on mount and umount, right? [04:59] !8.04 | jpk_ [04:59] jpk_: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [04:59] !upgrade | jpk_ [04:59] jpk_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:00] we have any networking familar people here atm? [05:00] kisuke: I've tried using a 10.04 live disk to open the encrypted disks, but got the exact same results. [05:00] nimbiotics: Yes. I'm surprised that the partitions don't show up in Places > Computer, but there's nothing wrong with mounting manually (or setting them up to always mount via fstab). [05:00] !fstab | nimbiotics [05:00] nimbiotics: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:01] Jordan_U: as i said dirty ntfs will not show up [05:01] Does anybody know how to get rid of the user in freeNX? [05:01] gogeta: If it were dirty then it wouldn't have mounted with the mount command. [05:01] Jordan_U: once chkdsk runs on them they should become visable [05:01] hello [05:01] Jordan_U: it will but read only [05:01] jpk_: it looks like the key file might have disapeared, you might want to try fsck, not sure what parameters you would need though [05:02] nimbiotics: Did you get any error message with that seccond mount command? [05:02] Jordan_U: none [05:02] gogeta: And in my experience "unclean" ntfs filesystems show up in nautilus but give an error message when you try to access them. [05:03] Jordan_U: yea mounting reead only [05:03] Jordan_U: strange [05:03] gogeta: Since he's getting no error messages his ntfs partitions are not dirty. [05:03] gogeta: Indeed. [05:04] Jordan_U: What about the "error mounting 'blkid? does that have to do with my problem? [05:04] Jordan_U: acully i rember this issue it was due to some old files after a upgarde braking automount but i cant rember the fix [05:04] i was wondering if i downloaded the dependencies for something do i need a specific one for each version of ubuntu ( breezy,dapper, Feisty Fawn, Gutsy Gibbon)) [05:04] Jordan_U: you had to remove a package and it fixes it but i cant rember the name [05:04] Jordan_U: BTW, the single quote is in the message, its not a typo ('blkid) [05:05] quck Q... how, in the recovery console, do I remount / as read/write? [05:05] nimbiotics: It's likely, though I don't know what that error message means. [05:05] Jordan_U: also, this error message estops boot process [05:05] or does zlib v1.2.3 work on all versions of ubuntu [05:05] kisuke: both key files are still there & remain unchanged from when I originally created them; cryptsetup luksDump still shows all the same info as before as well. [05:06] I can't fsck because it's a luks partition, not an ext.. [05:06] Jordan_U: well, im going to try fstab and see what happens [05:06] hello [05:06] ubuser what does zlib depend on? [05:06] ciao [05:06] Jordan_U, ubottu: Thanks a lot!! [05:06] nimbiotics: You're welcome. [05:06] jpk_: are you sure you have the PW right? [05:06] Jordan_U: mani cant rember lol [05:06] weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [05:07] nessuno parla italiano? [05:07] nimbiotics: ubottu is a channel bot by the way (not a human). [05:07] Jordan_U: its due to the new system and the old sstems packages being not removed [05:07] Jordan_U: lol, thanks! [05:07] kisuke: it doesn't have a password, it uses a key file, and it is correct; I have backups of the file as well. [05:08] is ubuntu OS/2 [05:08] jpk_: diff keyfile backup_of_keyfile? [05:08] kisuke: the md5 sums are the same.. [05:08] Hi all. Does anyone know why a multi-touch capable (eee 1201n) system would register two fingers as two seperate touches rather than one large, wide touch? [05:09] the best would be if someone knew how i could fix it ;-) [05:09] jpk_: files are in the correct spot? [05:09] Jordan_U: thats the packge remove usbmount [05:09] mrpoundsign: to remount / to rw, "mount -o remount -o rw /" should work. [05:10] kisuke: yep, though I can specify where to look with cryptsetup luksOpen.. [05:10] Jordan_U: and hal [05:10] Jordan_U: those 2 get left behind on a upgrade and screw with the automount system === oo is now known as peepingtom [05:11] jpk: thnaks :) [05:12] jpk_: humor me, and try to open the file wiht the backup [05:12] nimbiotics: i managed to dig up your mounts not showing issue usbmount and hal dont get removed on a upgrade from 9.04 and screw up that automount system removing them fixes it [05:13] kisuke: I already have, both replacing the file in /etc for bootup as well as just using the cryptsetup luksOpen.. [05:13] do you have a backup of the container? [05:14] hi, you know how to find the screen resolution of the purple splashscreen at the start in Lucid? [05:14] bye [05:14] juju2143: settings>startup? (or somehting like that.) [05:15] juju2143, are you using nvidia proprietary drivers? If so i think it's like 800x600 (or maybe smaller even) [05:15] im trying to download snes its saying i need djgpp v2, and its making me choose from windows unix msdos os/2 or dosemu.?! [05:15] ZykoticK9, got ATI [05:15] juju2143, the bootup stuff is call Plymouth [05:15] kisuke: I do now. :-) and I've tried opening that w/ luksOpen, but same problem.. I don't from before when it was working, I only have an un-encrypted dump (from a while ago) [05:15] ZykoticK9, it's the framebuffer right? [05:15] s/call/called [05:15] k thx [05:16] juju2143, NOT "really" but kinda "yes". [05:16] anyone know how to made the default max volume higher. every time i want to listen to music I have to go to system>preferences>sound and change the output to be above 100%. is there a way to move the "150%" to 100? [05:16] Hi [05:16] instead of downloading xubuntu can i download ubuntu and then just install xfce? [05:16] Any Ubuntu guru's around [05:16] niglop, yes [05:16] jpk_: im you have any oldre backups that work?, i dont use encrypted drives atm, so im not as familar as id like [05:16] kk thanks [05:16] So if I boot from the live cd I get a decent resolution for that Plymouth thing and from the HD a rather low resolution [05:17] !purexfce | niglop [05:17] niglop: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [05:17] so I want to set the resolution to the one on the live cd [05:17] cornwallis_, sounds like a bug, you mean you change the volume in the "sound" applet but after you reboot you have to change that setting again? [05:17] thanks ZykoticK9 [05:17] kisuke: no, I don't generally back up the whole encrypted drives.. I have some older backups, but have some pretty important stuff on the drive that was done recently.. [05:18] niglop, yes but that will kind of defeat the purpose, it's like getting the whole burguer when youre a vegeterian an all you want is lettuce and tomato [05:18] juju2143, if you are using proprietary ATI then i can see you getting poor Plymouth resolution. But is getting worse Xorg drivers really worth getting a few seconds of good Plymouth resolution? [05:18] kisuke: I've re-learned everything I knew about encrypting again awfully quick! :-) [05:18] tucemiux. the setting for output volume will stay the same after a reboot. but if I have to drop it below 100% then when I press the volume up button it won't go past 100% [05:18] lol tucemiux i want to see what gnome is like (only used xfce before) [05:18] Any ubuntu guru's able to have a quick pm conversation, just I'm heavily confused about a problem with installation and harddrives. [05:19] jpk_: what application are you using? [05:19] im switching from mint to ubuntu because it has a more active community [05:19] !wicd [05:19] its just the 100% is not loud enough for mostt media [05:19] niglop, if you already have xfce you can install gnome [05:19] hi... anyone having probs with java after updates? [05:20] kisuke: it is actually an LVM under the encrypted array, with multiple VMs running; the only stumbling block is just getting the luks partition to work with it's key file... [05:20] I recently jumped from edgy to lucid, anybody know what the latest emacs verison in edgy was? Or is there any way I could determine this from my backup files? [05:20] tucemiux: im on mint, im installing ubuntu [05:20] Help anyone? [05:20] tucemiux: but i dont know if i should go straight to xubuntu or test out the normal thing and then install xfce afterwards [05:20] * kisuke looks up at what jpk_ just said [05:20] cornwallis_, then it sounds like it's an application related issue. What do you mean by you the volume "button" up? I thought you were changing the volume using the "sound" applet? [05:20] Rev, why not state your issue/problem/question here so EVERYONE can look at it? [05:21] ZykoticK9, I get a decent 1600x900 and good 3D [05:21] niglop, is mint ubuntu based? [05:21] juju2143, oh man 1600x900 can you read terminals ok? isnt' that really small? [05:21] !mint | tucemiux [05:21] tucemiux: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [05:21] where are the menu entries for a user's gnome menu saved? my friend has nothing in his applications menu [05:21] juju2143, ctrl+alt+f1 type terminals [05:21] ZykoticK9: because everyone is talking so quick it won't get answered [05:21] ZykoticK9, oh not terminal, xorg [05:21] Rev: its hard to tell who can help you because you need to just go ahead and describe your problem :) [05:22] ZykoticK9, I get a low resolution [05:22] it's definitely not simple, but I've not had any problems before; it's been running like a champ for a little over 2 years now; multiple reboots the whole nine yards.. [05:22] juju2143, what i'm saying is you'd have to remove your good/proprietary drivers, and install the opensource drivers to get the good Plymouth resolutions. [05:22] Hi, I have a classroom setup with Ubuntu 8.04 and LTSP. I want to upgrade to 10.04 and I want to use the Alternate CD for it. What about the packages which are not on the CD? Will they stay unupdated until I update them manually or will they be deinstalled? [05:23] ZykoticK9, ah ok. [05:23] ZykoticK9, so I won't get 3D? [05:23] ZykoticK9: I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu. Ubuntu see's my partitioned drive that I'd like to install to, however gparted says the drive the partition is held is unallocated. When I try to install, I can't find the partition I want to install onto. [05:23] gogeta: sorry it took me so long to see your message. How do I remove usbmount and hal? TIA! [05:23] niglop, you can try ubuntu on a virtual machine if youre already using linux mint [05:23] juju2143, minimal at best? you using ATI - i'm NOT the person to ask. [05:23] tucemiux: when i want to listen to music I have to go to ubuntu's sound settings and change the output volume to 150%, but if I need to turn it down later to say 50%, and then I use the volume up buttons on my PC it will only go back up to 100%. i was just wondering if there was a way to increase the DB level of the output volume's 100% [05:23] ok thx ZykoticK9 i'll try [05:24] Rev, that didn't have to be directed at me ;) it's for EVERYONE to look at. [05:24] Rev: is there any chance that was partitioned with Mac or something like that? [05:24] that way I dont always have to navigate to the volume settings for the change [05:24] No [05:24] Rev: is there anything on the drive that you would like to keep? or is it just partitioned externally but essentially empty? [05:25] The drive must be kept, it stores a lot of essential things [05:26] I created a 24gb partition on there when I first bought the drive, so I could run ubuntu [05:26] cornwallis_, i use alsa gnome mixer for that and I attach the applet to my panel, that way when I have to change the volume I click on the applet and the volume app shows, I only use the volume buttons on my laptop when I want to lower the button right away, for example if I get a phone call, or need to mute the volume [05:26] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/8gzr9hcL [05:26] Rev: is it a strange partition type? [05:26] Rev, start the LiveCD and in at terminal run "sudo fdisk -l" and it should show all parititions the OS sees. [05:27] tucemiux: i will just try that. thanks [05:30] http://yfrog.com/20screenshotjdp - what it showed [05:31] gogeta: sorry it took me so long to see your message. How do I remove usbmount and hal? TIA! [05:31] Hey all [05:31] I'm trying to join #debian, but the server says I'm banned [05:31] hi can anyone help with java issue? [05:31] <_hoop> anyone good with printer installations? [05:32] Rev, from what i see it doesn't appear sdb has any paritions on it. [05:32] is it because I'm using a Web IRC client? [05:32] It's the 500gb drive [05:32] !anyone | wizard_ Colonel_Panic [05:32] wizard_ Colonel_Panic: 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? [05:32] Colonel_Panic, sorry that was for _hoop [05:33] ZykotickK9: What?!?

If you are worried about installing, select the option during formatting/partitioning for largest free space, and it should automatically install there! FYI you should have a backup of your system BEFORE trying to install Ubuntu. [05:35] if I chang my nick, am I going to be kicked out of here? [05:35] How do I remove usbmount and hal? TIA!

I found a bug report with similar symptoms, but it hasn't gotten any attention [05:40] Hello, ever since upgrading to Lucid, some programs fail with Segmentation Fault predictably. For example, most gtksourceview programs (including gedit) crash at specific times of selecting/typing quote characters. It gets quite annoying after a while, which is why I started using Kate. Inform7 crashes when I click on the Go or Replay button. Is there any way I can diagnose this? The command line only says "Segmantation Faul [05:40] t" with no other kind of help.

[05:43] soreau: I think the problem with the installer had to do with using neoveau instead of nvidia driver, though. I sidestepped that by doing a dist upgrade and enabling nvidia driver.

[05:46] ssd7_, my advice is to go ahead and add yourself as affected by the bug if the symptoms are the ***same*** as you are experiencing otherwise file a bug report of your own, that is really the only way to get bugs fixed, people reporting them and the developers fixing them, I had sound problems on both laptop and desktop -- they were fixed on my desktop and to a bearable degree on my laptop [05:46] kisuke: heh, nice typo--I have a phone call scheduled w/ Canonical tomorrow morning. :-( [05:46] ZykoticK9: Generically yes, but the problem I am having is, I think, more of an ACPI problem. I can resume and suspend with no problem using the power menu. The problem is that no ACPI event is triggered when I close the lid AFTER resuming from a suspend. [05:46] andresj: Are you using 32bit or tried it yet? [05:46] hi, if I'm editing a gtkrc file, can I see changes immediately? or is there a command that I can run to tell the system that gtkrc has changed? (without using a gui) [05:46] andresj: your version of ubuntu, that is [05:46] ssd7_, you are correct! different bug FOR SURE. sorry man. [05:47] thetabyte, its part of the basic applet "indicator applet" [05:47] i have ubuntu 10.04; how do i emulate the 3rd mouse button press? [05:48] some thing is messing up my runlevel on boot how can I diagnose the issue and see what is messing it up on boot? [05:48] soreau: no, i am using 64-bit. used to use 32-bit but 64-bit has worked quite well till The Problem :P [05:48] kisuke: thank you! [05:49] thetabyte, sorry it is part of the indicator session applet [05:49] jpk_: NP [05:49] am having an issue with Lucid 2.6.32-22 on Dell Laptop.. nm-applet not showing up and no networking is available help plz... [05:49] andresj: I would work on trying to get a fresh install, 32 or 64 bit, since you have the choice [05:49] thanks wrek! [05:50] Ubiedoodie, first "ps aux|grep NetworkManager; sudo killall NetworkManager" and let me know if the network manager applet shows up [05:50] hey is there a way to set up dual displays by having to monitors attached to two different graphics cards? [05:50] oh yea, I forgot chmod -x `which NetworkManager` :p [05:51] is there anyway to remove the system tray from the gnome-panel? like the icons put there by skype, xchat, dropbox, etc.? [05:51] one is my nvidia, and the other ine is the internal built in intel one [05:51] ok will try [05:51] could anyone help me with a vpn and my iphone?? i was on efnet, but they are hardasses [05:52] !sound [05:52] 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. [05:52] hhmm !VPN [05:52] soreau: well at this point it really isn't a choice. i don't have a lot of free time to do it, and i'm getting a new laptop anyway---in which i will have to decide what to install :P [05:52] i tried- lol [05:53] andresj: You might as well use a pay-for OS that requires less time and smarts then [05:53] is that possible? [05:53] tucemiux: did as performed but no applet still [05:54] hi, if I'm editing a gtkrc file, can I see changes immediately? or is there a command that I can run to tell the system that gtkrc has changed? (without using a gui) [05:54] here, actually ill explain a bit more-- i was looking for a good ubuntu L2TP server i think. i had installed openvpn- but it didnt work out well. [05:54] Ubiedoodie, can you hook your laptop to a wired connection and: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome [05:55] Ubiedoodie, actually -- first, do you know how to use paste? [05:55] tucemiux: the wired connection fails also... this machine is a friends and was running fine. I don't understand what happened.. [05:55] soreau: [gasp] "less time and smarts"---just for that i'll keep ubuntu :P No, the choice is between Ubuntu and Fedora. But def keeping linux cuz i love the Unix feel. And MacOSX isn't an option for the price. [05:56] glick: yes, its possible [05:56] Anyone here know how to write a sort script - I wanna add a startup script in KDE that sorts my desktop icons after a sleep/pause of about 15 seconds at startup (i.e. Autostart folder). Can anyone help me out? [05:56] tucemiux: I am on another machine right now. The problem machine is right next to me [05:56] randy_, do you know how i can set that up? [05:56] glick: it can just become really tricky ;) [05:56] Ubiedoodie, the network files get corrupt or misconfigured in dell machines, you have to first configure the wired connection then the wireless connection [05:56] andresj: It will require time, testing, reading many frustrations. Also, segfaults means something is fundamentally wrong which is why I suggest starting over with a clean install === root is now known as Guest83670 [05:57] glick: mostly, its really similar to setting up TwinView or something like that with Nvidia/ATI, etc... but just with two different drivers running two different monitors on two different instances of an Xserver [05:57] which file lets you configure your network device??? [05:57] glick: lemme see if i can't find something on the interwebs that can help ;) [05:57] tucemiux: that makes sense... I will try that. Is there a solution to prevent this again. [05:58] thanks i tried a search but couldnt find snything [05:58] Ubiedoodie, dont reimage your machine? Or learn how to fix it? I've had to fix the wireless every time I reimaged my laptop, once or twice I had to fix the wired connection [05:58] ok [05:58] glick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53966 this refers to what you're looking for. just keep in mind that you're gonna specify *different* drivers for the intel/nvidia obviously [05:59] how to install gcc 3.x on lucid? [05:59] just install build e4ssentials [05:59] opps essentials .. [06:00] Ubiedoodie, you want me to show you how to configure your wired nic to dhcp? [06:00] then gcc [06:00] meh, i was hopiing for a plug and play solution since i will be unplugging this monitor often [06:00] !grub [06:00] 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. [06:00] soreau: yes, i wonder a lot what it could cause it, though. to prevent it from happening. [06:00] glick: you're gonna want to look carefully at the differences in his xorg file and a 'normal' one. notice that his file has dual "Device" "Monitor" and "Screen" sections... this is the trick ;) [06:00] KE1HA, i wanna gcc downgrade :) [06:00] tucemiux: please [06:00] thanks randy_ [06:01] no vpn'ers [06:01] glick: well, once you've got everything working, it should be relatively easy to specify different resolutions if you're always using the same monitors [06:01] is there anyway to remove the system tray from the gnome-panel? like the icons put there by skype, xchat, dropbox, etc.? [06:01] Ahh, hold on, I got some notes on that, did that on a box that was finiky about the compiler. [06:02] <_hoop> System-Admin..-Printing ... i get that far but i cannot select NEW [06:02] Ubiedoodie, edit "/etc/network/interfaces" , you should have the following two lines in your config: "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" --- if you want to see what it looks like head over to: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [06:02] glick: simply because you unplug that monitor often shouldn't deter you from setting this up. once you've got it working, its more of a gnome thing to set up which monitor acts as your primary for the menu's etc... [06:03] I need to give someone remote access, with their own account, and sudo powers. how do I keep them for being able to access my home folder? [06:03] <_hoop> can someone help me by not sending me a printing guide link and listen to where and what im having for trouble.. perhaps? [06:03] iaeomm, dont give them access :-) [06:03] minjoo, here ya go, just modify the versions you want to delete and change sym links as appropriate: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=29449 [06:03] thanks KE1HA [06:04] subcool: i sort of have to. it's to my benefit. given these conditions how do i restrict access? [06:04] tucemiux: all I have in it is ' auto lo iface lo inet loopback ' [06:04] glick: for example, i run dual-monitor off one Nvidia card. My old and crummy monitor--which shows crazy colors occasionally and will die one day--is just a leftward extention of my desktop which for all intensive purposes is completely useless except for the fact that i can watch movies on that monitor, or run commands and such while browsing. if i unplug it, i only lose my extension but not my whole functionality of my desktop [06:04] minjoo, here another one I had marled to "switch between versions": http://www.question-defense.com/2010/03/30/how-to-switch-between-different-versions-of-gcc-and-g-in-backtrack-4-final-or-any-version-of-ubuntu [06:05] I upgraded to 10.04 but now my volume applet seems gone.

Users and groups doesn't offer it [06:05] iaeomm, i could tell u if it were windows, im a bit of dunce myself. I am looking for help with something easy as VPN. lol- if u give them access, root access.. best i can think of is to encrypt ur home directory. [06:05] Ubiedoodie, go to the lilnk I gave you and go to the section titled: Setup interface to dhcp -->that's what your file should look like witht hose two lines [06:05] great [06:05] zruty: run: gnome-volume-control-applet [06:05] subcool: how do I do that? [06:05] <_hoop> can someone help me by not sending me a printing guide link and listen to where and what im having for trouble.. perhaps? [06:06] being the fact u have ur own password- it would a deturrant but, root is root. lol [06:06] glick: regardless, it *will* work ;) [06:06] _hoop: sup? [06:06] idk- i dont encrypt it- i just know its possible. [06:06] subcool: even with root acces they can't get through encryption [06:06] i crash too often and have to recover too freaquently to also have to crack my home directory [06:06] nah- but they;ll have access [06:06] tucemiux: I setup eth0 auto dhcp now how to restart?

[06:12] hello everybody. I just updated to 10.04 and, upon booting, I'm getting message: "An error occurred while mounting 'blkid. Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" and booting stops. I tried M once but, not knowing what to do, haven't tried again. Please notice that the message includes the single quote before blkid; thats not a typo. I was told earlier to remove usbmount and hal... [06:13] ...so ichecked an usbmount is not installed, removed hal and still had same problem so I just installed again. by What can I do?? TIA! [06:13] _hoop: I want you to paste the output here, so we can see it [06:13] serious base install, 256mb ram, 14mb free [06:13] shouldnt it be the other way? [06:14] tucemiux: working on it...

[06:15] Where can i download the Grub Graphical menu Manager? [06:15] nimbiotics: Sounds like your fstab had things added to it that shouldn't have been. A LiveCD is your best bet for fixing it. [06:15] When I do a top , what is this ata/1 that is always running in my system ? Any idea folks ? [06:15] can someone help me? [06:15] troll alert! [06:15] soreau: actually, using gdb i found out that what crashed Inform7 was the graphite library (activated because i have pango-graphite installed). This would explain why it only happened in some GTK apps. I'll start using Gedit and see if this fixes things. ##linux was pretty simple and helpful here :P [06:15] _hoop: why are you in the root group.. weird. anyway you seem to be in the right groups. You could try running the printer app with gksudo [06:15] Flannel: am a noob, can you please further ecxplain your answer? TIA [06:16] I am having trouble installing ubuntu :-/ I get a soft-lockup during install. I've tried about a dozen workarounds and none have produced any results. I'm using a toshiba A355-S6935 [06:16] lostinspace_46, im going to be adventerous and ask, why do you need GRUB?

[06:17] alphagas, i once had that problem, what i did is I removed the hard drive from the laptop and installed it on another laptop, installed xubuntu then put the hard drive to the original machine [06:17] <_hoop> actionparsnip: what you mean " You could try running the printer app with gksudo [06:17] alphagas: have you MD5 tested your ISO before butrning? Did you burn as slowly as you were allowed? Did you test the CD for defects? Did you test your RAM? [06:17] tucemiux, Because I am dual booting...I have grub, I just want the graphical menu manager for it [06:17] alphagas, be little more descriptive. then people who knows it well will respond [06:17] nimbiotics: No. But you'll need to get to a state where you can edit your fstab (which is a file), and a LiveCD is probably the easiest way you're going to get there. [06:17] printer worked fine, i never had to set it up :) [06:17] alphagas: check your hardware and make sure it's compatible, I had an old sony that had similiar issues and it tied back to some proprietary hardware that wasn't compatible [06:17] lostinspace_46, i'm not even sure what "Grub Graphical menu Manager" is, but are you using Grub2 (default lucid grub version)? and if so, is your program grub2 compabitle? i doubt it. [06:18] _hoop: maybe your system has a weirdness in it right now, if you run it with gksudo you should be able to install a printer [06:18] lostinspace_46, if no one in here is able to help you then head over to #grub, this channel is for ubuntu support [06:18] Flannel: and how do i know what should and should not be there?

It either got something added to it, or it got over written. If it's the former, we just remove the line with "blkid" on it. If it's the latter, we'll have to create a new one, which isn't difficult and we can help you do so here.

[06:19] rmrfboy something with the keyboard? [06:20] Flannel: could it be just the single quote before 'blkid? [06:20] _hoop: with the app running, run: ps -ef | grep -i print you will get the command, you can then run: gksudo foo (replace foo with the application name) [06:20] rmrfboy: what do you mean remove usb that is not used? [06:20] we are on IRC? [06:20] alphagas: does the system lock up after install or during? [06:20] launch: yes. [06:20] during install [06:20] @alphagas: maybe,maybe not. i experienced that nwhen i installed 10.4. did it hang after you type something during install? [06:20] andresj: Typically segfaults don't yield useful bt's but it's never a bad idea to run the program with a debugging tool like gdb or valgrind [06:20] Flannel, ok thanks [06:20] lostinspace_46, the problem is nobody is in that room right now, try asking at another time, I once even talked to a grub developer when they first rolled out grub2 [06:20] nimbiotics: "blkid" wouldn't be in that file normally. [06:21] readalqaeda: aqui no se habla espa~ol, y creo que menos con ese nick.. [06:21] alphagas: does it let you go through the process and lock while copying files or does it lock early on? [06:21] tucemiux, OK but for 4 hrs last night I tried [06:21] Flannel: ok, i'll do that, whats the location of fstab? [06:21] @alphages: e.g. usb drive that is not needed during installation. it "can" cause some lockup in some instance [06:21] it locks up at a point where it says somethign about "No key to set for " [06:22] redalqaeda: aqui no se habla espa~ol, y creo que menos con ese nick..

Which is what seems to be the issue. [06:32] illac, I have seen many threads and posts about having this problem on toshiba laptops and some workarounds but none of them work for me [06:32] alphagas: give me a few minutes to dig around and see what I can turn up [06:32] everything from trying to install karmic and update that way etc, but even that won't install, I just get a black screen [06:32] illac, its cool - lol. im ok with it.

[06:35] Flannel: roger that red leader [06:36] lostinspace_46, ive never tried it but it looks like fun, if you dont mind me using as a guinea pig we can both look at that site and we can go step by step, I need to remind you though that if you hose your installation you might have to reinstall grub [06:36] alphagas: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8407323 [06:36] lol- ugh this machine is soooo slow- im trying to load that webpage, and it just wont go. brb- im going to go get my laptop [06:36] alphagas: give that a shot?

I just asked if someone knew where to D/L the app [06:36] join my new channel at irc.wyldryde.org and join #RiotChat [06:37] So with #!Crunchbang does it matter what Emulator I use or is WINE perfectly fine?~ [06:37] tucemiux, Well, you any good with bazaar...the app is there, I just can't seem to get it [06:37] lostinspace_46, you dont want to download an ***app***. You want to make grub2 look pretty, that is what you are trying to do, if you use the correct terminology people might help you specially the ones that have done that [06:37] tuc feel free to PM [06:37] illac: well, I'm not trying to install the netbook version :-/ and I'm installing off of a CD [06:37] lostinspace_46, sudo apt-get install bzr ??? [06:38] kurtis, wine + PlayOnLinux is a good combination. [06:38] alphagas: hmmm k, I shall keep digging [06:38] I have been using Unbuntu for the last 2 years and I feel its time to switch it up [06:38] Going to be using #!Crunchbang as my new gaming OS, just wanted to make sure everything was still compatiable [06:38] guys .. one quick question only.. i have a vaio laptop i just bought a SSD drive for .. what partition format should i be using.. f4 f3? [06:38] I was suprised, after a few tweeks, 10.04 is really pretty good. [06:39] lostinspace_46, first you want to download images and put them in "/grub/themes/icons", there shoud be a directory in your hard drive named that way [06:39] drcasper: what's F3/F4? [06:39] exty4 is not much diffrent that ext3 in my opinion, but there's advocates of both. [06:39] ext4. sorry .. [06:39] tucemiux, I don't want to get too off-topic in channel...but I will rephrase..I don't need an app I need software that makes grub pretty...better? [06:39] I went with the default EXT4 .. but have several machines running EXT3 [06:40] drcasper: ext4 should do just fine [06:40] drcasper: ext2 will make it last longer [06:40] tucemiux: http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DistroDownloads#Ubuntu [06:40] thanks guys ..:) [06:40] lostinspace_46, what OS are you using? [06:40] how to disable the scroll wheel of the mouse? [06:41] <_hoop> actionparsnip wow.... simple.... [ sudo service cups restart ] [06:41] hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me? I am trying to find a snes emulator that will work on ubuntu 5.10, i know its an old version, i also dont have internet on this computer [06:41] well.. i bought a SSD drive to see if it would be any faster but i gotta tell you, either the drive i bought is crap (branded patriot) or there is just very little difference on this particular laptop compared toa 72k rpm HD [06:41] tucemiux, AHA..I am not clear..I have changed my background already...this software allows changing fro text to icons, and completely channging the LOOK of grub without changing the functionality [06:41] right now i am trying zsnes and i got all the dependcies on a cd, but i want to download another emulator just to make sure [06:41] how to disable the scroll wheel of the mouse? [06:42] drcasper: then you probably bought the wrong one, because I have intel ssd:s in "all" my machines and it's a huge difference. [06:42] _hoop: makes, sense. Ive seen a few folks say their cups wasn't running at boot. If you reboot and it's stopped, add "service cups restart" (without quotes) to /etc/rc.local above the exit line and it should fix it [06:42] ntu 64 bit yet? [06:42] does anyone know of a snes emulator that will work for ubuntu 5.10 hopefully no dependencys [06:42] !find snes | ubuser [06:42] ubuser: Found: zsnes, snes9x-gtk, snes9x-x [06:42] SwedeMike, does ubuntu currently support trim? [06:42] any body figure out how to get by flash on ubuntu 64 bit ? [06:42] drcasper, SSD are very fast, you will not see a diff in EXT3 or EXT4, but you will certainly see a Vast improvemnt over 5400 / 7200 rom drives. [06:42] tucemiux, If I can't D/L the graphical manager, I guess I will find the correct .mod files to change [06:42] ubuser: snes9x-gtk [06:43] ZykoticK9: 10.10 might, I don't remember. Check the kernel version of each release, but I seem to remember it came around 2.6.33 or so [06:43] lostinspace_46, you can basically configure your grub on your own, I wouldnt trust an application to do it for me [06:43] KE1HA: still uses slow ass SATA conections though so is capped at 300Mbps [06:43] how to disable the scroll wheel of the mouse? [06:43] actionparsnip: interesting... have you read this? http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/ [06:43] will i need to install some dependcys [06:44] SwedeMike, so that's a no. Thanks, i was just googling about it before i read your reply above, thought i'd just ask :) [06:44] lostinspace_46, but if you insist on an application to do it for you then why dont you google for it, you dont want to tell me what OSes you use so im showing you the way I would do it on ubuntu [06:44] tucemiux, You are prolly right..like I said I will see if I can find the right grub files to modify [06:44] rogetr that, but 3gbs vls 100mbs is a massive improvement. [06:44] hi, is anyone here very familiar with kismet? [06:44] Sorry Win7 and ubuntu lucid [06:45] Bott times are amazing, especially on Linux boxes, even with the Bloated Vista Machines I was astounded. [06:45] lostinspace_46, grub is grub, whatever OS you use it is still grub, there might be a few differences though, like how you name the files but it's still grub, no doubt about it [06:45] oops boot times.. [06:45] Gnea: funky stuff. I tried to use the noatime option and it made my partition not mount [06:45] guys do i need a swap file partition with a ssd ? [06:45] lostinspace_46, you have ubuntu lucid installed on your machine??? [06:45] is anyone here very familiar with kismet? [06:46] actionparsnip: o.O [06:46] KE1HA: look at PCIexpress SDcard readers ;) FAST! === test is now known as Guest90712 [06:46] wow thx parsnip [06:46] tucemiux, Well that is how I looked at it...I guess I will open s couple .mod files and see if I can make the changes I want there...it's all just cosmetics [06:46] u think itll work on ub 5.1? [06:46] rrr will do, not used them before. [06:47] tucemiux, Yes lucid is installed [06:47] lostinspace_46, if you want to install bazaar: sudo apt-get install bzr [06:47] KE1HA: or pciexpress raid controllers controlling SSD drives. very fast indeed [06:47] any one know hoe to get a lap top mic to work for skype [06:47] actionpar, do you think this snes will run on ubuntu 5.1 [06:47] Is anyone Familiar with #!Brunchbang Linux?

[06:48] yeah, snes9x-1.4 [06:48] 1.5 [06:48] alphagas: I'm not sure man, that's a slippery one [06:48] tucemiux, Not wanting to look dumber than i already do..heheh..I got bzr, I just can't figure out how to download the package [06:48] ubuser, that is not supported [06:48] alphagas: still looking === keastes is now known as kisuker [06:48] illac :-/ bummer [06:48] i know its old, but its all updated === kisuker is now known as kisuke [06:48] but no internet [06:48] sound works and all [06:49] its got python 2.4 gcc and other stuff [06:49] anyone here good with kismet?? [06:49] ubuser, upgrade to a recent version if you wish support [06:49] !wicd [06:49] do you think itll work tho..? [06:49] !network manager [06:49] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [06:49] tucemiux, I think I will check the bazaar channel [06:49] actionparsnip, 512 GB Drive 2200 Bucks LOL... not anytiem soo here :-) [06:49] ubuser: if you can satisfy deps, sure why not [06:49] lostinspace_46, thats ok, dont worry aboutit, just ask away -- I dont know what package youre trying to download so cant help you there, usually they tell you how to do it if they use bazaar, but for now you can install a GUI that will help you modify grub to get you started [06:50] KE1HA: only need a 10Gb one for / your user data rubbish can go on a SATA as speed is less necessary [06:50] after the update today i noticed that firebird greyes out the screen a lot, and that closing tabs also slows things down and greyes it. [06:50] tucemiux, This app http://grub.gibibit.com/Theme_format [06:50] Is anyone Familiar with #!Brunchbang Linux? Trying to find an easy way to get all my drivers without having to go from site to site [06:50] say i went to download some for ubuntu, what platform is it [06:50] would be nice to play with fer sure :-)_ [06:50] tucemiux, And it IS in a bazaar branch [06:50] kurtis, try #crunchbang as its not supported here [06:50] lostinspace_46, sudo apt-get install startupmanager ---> use startupmanager to change GRUB, if grub still doesnt look fancy enough then you can tru something more, before you do any changes to your grub, read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager [06:51] Alright. [06:51] im actually on 9.10 so its cool [06:51] ubuser, if thats the case then it should work [06:51] tucemiux, I have done all the startupmanager allows [06:51] linux works under ubuntu [06:52] but i want the snes .e*e on my desktop [06:52] ubuser, a launcher? [06:52] lostinspace_46, ok first lets download the software then, fire up a command prompt and go to a place where you want to download all the software, let me know when youre ready [06:52] KE1HA: also if you use the toram cheat code for your OS, and have enough ram, you wont even touch the drive for OS activity as its already in ram [06:52] yeah [06:52] not a shortcut [06:52] the whole snesx source [06:52] but i dont know which to choose, linux? [06:53] ubuser, that's not the way to install or run things [06:53] i use terminal [06:53] ram is definately better than SSD, and it's cheap these days. [06:53] it is from a cd [06:53] anyone else notice how slow firefox is? seamonkey is unaffected and so is epiphany...? [06:54] KE1HA: exactly, its one thing that makes puppy great :) [06:54] tucemiux, I am more than ready...but shouldn't we do this with PM? [06:54] Yes, FF has been slow on all the machines I've put 10.04 on, have not figured out why yet. [06:54] lostinspace_46, this is how you download the branch for that software: bzr branch http://grub.gibibit.com/bzr/gfxmenu [06:54] KE1HA: you can make the ubuntu live cd do it too with some tweaks [06:54] what was ubuntu written in/with [06:55] ubuser: C and machine code most likely [06:55] well thanx all, im gonna crash [06:55] lostinspace_46, here is fine, i have never done this before so you want as much input as you can get [06:55] !bye [06:55] Au revoir!

Exported /homes to an HD [06:55] KE1HA: try arora or swiftfox or midori [06:56] I loaded Arora this eveing, haven't played with it much yet though. [06:56] anyone here good with kismet? [06:56] lostinspace_46, and thats it, that should download all the stuff that you want, next comes the fun part, configuring it, good luck!

[07:02] so i installed lucid lynx on my htpc to replace the xbmc live cd i had been running for like 6 months now, and it works fine other than the sound will cut out after using it for awhile, for example, if I click on the sounds in the sound preference over and over for ~5 seconds, the sound cuts out, and is replaced by really scratchy deep sounds instead of the glass or barking or whatnot, its weird, never had an issue with xmbc live, [07:02] lostinspace_46, bazaar could also just be taking its time, good luck! If you need more help you want to ask for someone to help you configure grub2 for eye candy, good night === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker [07:03] Flannel: thanks, will try that and let you know in 10 [07:04] anyone have a clue as to what would cause my sound to stop working correctly after playing sounds for ~5 to 30 seconds?

[07:04] tucemiux: ok, so how would i go about changing back to alsa, if thats possible? [07:04] tucemiux, It's working..don't know how long it will take at 5-38kbs though. 38kbs is my top right now..upgrading to a whole 1meg tomorrow...wooohooo [07:04] no worries, been frustrated many times myself. [07:07] maybe I will try turning on the realtime scheduling for the pulseaudio and see if that helps [07:07] it only seems to cut out when i am making the machine "work" [07:08] tucemiux Sry, closed the wrong window [07:08] hello, how i can extract all .rar files from a directory.

[07:15] hello all [07:15] did they switch to pulseaudio only in lucid? [07:16] I mean, did they switch to using pulse audio in lucid, or was it used before [07:16] which is the best for thinclient tmpfs or ramfs [07:17] KE1HA, Ah, I see what you mean, I think he has at least rar since he can run unrar...his issue I think was opening several files at once === Ttech is now known as Ttech2 [07:18] I woud do, at a minimum: sudo aptitude install unace rar unrar zip unzip [07:19] KE1HA, I agree....so very handy [07:19] maybe even p7zip-full p7zip-rar uudeview mpack lha arj [07:19] the first ones I have on all my headless servers.

[07:38] ActionParsnip: yeah [07:38] but this is inside a VM [07:38] my vm is always on [07:38] Flannel: That fixed two big issues, thanks un bunch!!! [07:39] my base OS i dont mind getting locked [07:39] but everytime i need to unlock the vm [07:39] brb [07:39] kisuke, VM? what's the base OS?

[07:41] ShapeShifter499: add the wine ppa maybe? [07:41] ahhh [07:41] kisuke, ok, so this is a native install on your Dell Notebook yes? [07:41] I did not know I needed that [07:41] KE1HA: yes [07:42] ShapeShifter499: mine does it and I use that version so I'm guessing its what is needed [07:42] rr, send in the bug report, as the wpa aps has a few issues. [07:42] Flannel: Again, thank you very much. I've stil got at least half a dozen issues after upgrade to 10.04, but thats all for me today. I need a break. God bless you [07:43] ActionParsnip: thanks I'll try that [07:43] I've read a couple bug reports on the wpasuplicant applicaitno, but its not accross all NIC's. [07:43] ke1ha if you peek inside the kernel /script/local is the file which is used when we work on the system with hdd i write my own file named init and pass the argument to the kernel but still it says no init. may be it is due to some wrong command for mounting the virtual file system [07:43] Anyone here with basic WEP cracking knowledge?

[07:44] kisuke, offtopic for the network [07:44] i neeed help to use a cell phone as modem fom metro pcs [07:45] but, it's its starting to boot, then it's found the kernel, and the file system structure is not being passed or located correctly, which is odd.

[07:45] your os [07:46] uname -r [07:46] songer: telling folks the make /model is good too ;) [07:46] nio, on the PXE's they are all on 8.04-server-64 at the moment, several desktoips on 10.04 and laptops on 10.04, bnut the boot sequence and file structure would be the same on either version. [07:47] moto ve240 is motorola [07:47] ActionParsnip, [07:47] kisuke, not much I can do on this one im affraid, if it's working, yet intermitently, they your setup and config is correct, and like I said earlier, there's a couple of bugs in the WPA applicaitons. [07:48] KE1HA: any ideas where i can get the nightlys? [07:48] actually i had sucessfully make diskless tc on 8.04 hady but the performance of rdesktop is too slow i really don't know the reason [07:48] kisuke, I dont use them, too many troubles as it is, but hold on, will have a look. [07:49] thats why i am trying completely on 10.04lts [07:49] KE1HA: thanks [07:49] gnome ppp say: Invalid dial command [07:50] anyone here? [07:50] kisuke, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ [07:50] glaksmono: ask a real question [07:50] Dont shout if it breaks :-) [07:50] for some reason, my VI isn't setup properly on the keyboard [07:50] when i press up arrow for example, it types A, and such [07:51] can't do backspace.. [07:51] Glaksmono: scroll lock or numlock make a difference at all? [07:52] ActionParsnip, nope :( [07:53] ke1hai had hardy on laptop i directly run the rdesktop it is still slow. i tried to update rdesktop from 1.5 to 1.6 but there is no update available with the synaptic nor through apt-get so i manually complle the application but still rdesktop perform poor and in low bandwith it disconnects as compare to my fedora9. i am completely fed up and so i install latst 10.04 ubuntu and make it a base [07:53] glaksmono: any hidden files in $HOME to configure the app? [07:53] hmmm [07:53] Nio: instead of compiling I recommend searching the ppas first [07:53] hmmm.. home as in ~ right? [07:53] yeah, of course.. [07:53] glaksmono, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup This will re-install the console-tools package, which will remap your keyboard layout if you select something different. [07:54] or in this case, may reset what is clearly out of whack. [07:54] Trying to load Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Gateway 4540 laptop, and no matter if I boot or install Ubuntu - it just goes to a black screen. It shows the splash screen for Ubuntu, then when it's done loading (confirmed in the text based boot) it goes to a black screen. I can not get to desktop. [07:55] ppas has the solution for 64 bit machine only [07:55] therealpsychx, have you been able to boot completely with the Live-CD ? [07:55] i searched for 1 day [07:55] KE1HA, my keyboard model isn't there :(* [07:55] i'm using Sony FZ-4000 [07:55] glaksmono, try a standad keyboard or is it a laptop ? [07:55] therealpsychx: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [07:55] KE1HA, it's a laptop [07:56] KE1HA: its a known issue [07:56] KE1HA: The Live-CD is doing the same thing. It will show the splash, then go to black. [07:56] Pick a generic Lappy first and see what the affect is. [07:56] KE1HA, it's a Generic 105-key [07:56] therealpsychx: a quick websearch would have given you the link I gave ^ [07:56] ok thats it im building from source [07:57] ActionParsnip, Which one, the Keytboard or Black-Screen issue ? [07:57] KE1HA: black screen [07:57] rr tnx, didn't know that. is it on Laptops & desktops? [07:57] people...whats wrong with this tar xjf ipcop-1.4.21-kernel-2.4.36.tar_.bz2 -C / touch /var/run/need-depmod-2.4.36 <--- it says "NOT FOUND IN THE ARCHIVE", what does this mean? [07:57] please help me please [07:57] :( [07:58] The link that ACtionParsnip did not work. [07:58] hey when i resize my terminal window AFTER i ssh'd into a server. the text doesnt extend to new space; it stpuidly overwrites the beginning of line. how to fix? [07:58] KE1HA: The link that ActionParsnip provided, did not work. [07:59] therealpsychx, did not work meaning it did not fix the problem, or the link didn't work ? [08:00] hey guys is it hard to enable 2 video cards in ubuntu 10.04? I want to setup 3 displays. Both vid cards are identical and 1 is working right now but when I stick the other in I get a panic @ boot === Ttech2 is now known as Ttech [08:00] therealpsychx, also, look at Solutions-3 if there's no .conf file, you need to get a generic one in there somehow. [08:01] is this something that needs to be done @ install time? [08:02] i have a problem installing kubuntu-desktop from synaptic or tru apt-get in ubuntu 10.04... it gives the error saying unable to fetch paackage [08:02] spartan07, no, typically you will need to install restricted drivers, Post-Install, Example, My 2x 9800GT's played on a generic VID driver, then I loaded the Nvidia drivers after updates. [08:02] KE1HA: Sorry, was messing with the laptop. I meant that the solution did not work. [08:02] Nuwan: try using a different source under software sources [08:02] people...whats wrong with this tar xjf ipcop-1.4.21-kernel-2.4.36.tar_.bz2 -C / touch /var/run/need-depmod-2.4.36 <--- it says "NOT FOUND IN THE ARCHIVE", what does this mean? [08:03] ActionParsnip: like ? [08:03] KE1HA, im running nvidia R Drivers right now [08:03] KE1HA: It seems to be stopping on: "Setting Sensors Limits" and says "[ok]"... [08:03] therealpsychx, you need to boot the live CD. mount your HD file system and check to see if you ahve an xorg.conf file. [08:03] nuwan: the main server instead of the more local one selected, or the gb one if you don't already use it [08:03] just found this thread but hes talking about 2 different cards http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53966 [08:04] KE1HA: How do I mount the HD file system? Sorry for such a stupid question. I'll search for it at the same time. [08:04] spartan07, is the system working properly now then ?> [08:04] ActionParsnip: shall i send u a copy of error message i get ? [08:04] nuwan: just a different source, any will do [08:04] nuwan: my connect is dog slow, it'd be faster by pigeon. Sorry [08:05] yea this is the one im on now. running fine 10.04 all updates. I was thinking of putting in the other card fireing it up and reconfiguring x but it gives me a panic @ boot [08:05] ActionParsnip: ok thanks i will try and see now will let you know.. thanks [08:05] nuwan: if its stuff like: cannot find package x and so-on then the new source will probably solve it [08:05] ActionParsnip, how do i fix that command? [08:05] please help me please [08:06] mae_tae: fix what command? [08:06] ActionParsnip, this one, tar xjf ipcop-1.4.21-kernel-2.4.36.tar_.bz2 -C / touch /var/run/need-depmod-2.4.36 [08:06] therealpsychx, just use the file browser from the Live-CD, but you may run into fole permission issues when you copy the xorg.conf if its not done as sudo [08:06] mae_tae: no idea, what are you trying to achieve? [08:06] ActionParsnip, this one tar xjf ipcop-1.4.21-kernel-2.4.36.tar_.bz2 -C / touch /var/run/need-depmod-2.4.36 <----- it says not found in archive [08:07] KE1HA: As long as I run as sudo then I should be fine? [08:07] KE1HA, did you ever run 2 vid cards with a live cd and work? [08:07] yes should be. [08:07] mae_tae: no idea at all dude, sorry [08:07] Is there a way to boot a new OS from an Exsternal HD? [08:07] spartan07, Live-CD, no, it only used the one, only after install did I use both cards. [08:08] kurtis: can you clarify "boot a new os" please [08:08] ActionParsnip, i just copy it because that was the instruction, i dont know what that command would do but that instruction [08:09] kurtis: you can add the external partition to you existing grub and boot it, if that's what you mean [08:09] mae_tae, that's the / touch for ? [08:09] How do I do that? and Can I boot/install it onto my second partition I made for it? [08:09] oops what is the / touch for, you putting the contensts of the tat into the need-dep file ? [08:09] mae_tae: then ask the instructor for clarification, or find alternative instruction [08:09] yes it uses touch [08:09] ActionParsnip: i tried the main server/UK main server but all failed same error [08:10] KEIHA, so how will i fix it? [08:10] I'd do the Touch first, then extract the file to the file you created. [08:10] kurtis: you can boot any partition accessible to the kernel and able to boot [08:10] nuwan: without the output I'm stuck. Maybe someone on a faster connection can advise. [08:10] KE1HA, thats what i wonder for, because thats the instruction to upload ipcop-kernel [08:11] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdebindings/python-kde4_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb [08:11] Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] [08:11] that command was specified there [08:11] Its either not finding the Source File, you may try ./ ipcop-1.4.21-kernel-2.4.36.tar_.bz2 then then make the destination file and try it [08:11] This is all i get [08:12] KE1HA, here's the link http://www.ipcops.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12076 [08:12] KE1HA: How do I browse files from the Live-CD? It's not giving me the option - or at least, I don't see it. [08:12] The live-CD should ahve mounted the Internal hard Drive., [08:13] KEIHA, ok ill try it, do i need pipe for that? [08:13] i see [08:13] KE1HA: I'm at the Live-CD menu. It says things like "Try Ubuntu without installing" etc [08:13] mae_tae, Those are teo diffrent commands, the first is extracting the archinve, then created the Touch file, you can't combine them. [08:13] therealpsychx: you will need to mount yor internal partition using the places menu. You will need to run: gksudo nautilus ,to get write access [08:13] therealpsychx, yes, try witout installing. === lj_ is now known as cipherz [08:14] ActionParsnip, can you help him wiht that part pse ? [08:14] KE1HA: When I go to "Try Ubuntu without installing" it just loads then goes to a black screen. [08:14] anyone have problems after upgrading to 2.6.32.24.25 in ubuntu 10.04 lts (amd64 arch) [08:14] !details | cipherz [08:14] cipherz: 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 ..." [08:14] when i boot i select ubuntu from my win7 boot menu and nothing else happens after that [08:14] Thata a problem, if you can Live-CD, your not gonna install. [08:15] oops if you can't. [08:15] SwedeMike, sorry was hoping it was a general upgrade problem should have stated details prior to asking if i was the only one [08:15] KE1HA: Any ideas on what to do? It's not mine, it's a friend [08:15] Only thing I can suggest is try the full desktop version if the Laptop-Remix isn't booting. [08:15] KE1HA: He was having this problem, I've tried a lot so far. DUnno [08:15] KE1HA: I just gave all s/he'll need to mount and write to the internal partitions if that's what is needed [08:16] cipherz: well I upgraded to the nwe kernel the other day and it worked for me, so it's not a general problem. [08:16] rrr. but if he can't boot the Live-CD, he's stuck. [08:16] KE1HA: He says that this is the Desktop version.. [08:16] hi [08:16] SwedeMike, can always hope, but its highly unlikely :) just weird.. been using the old one for weeks, didnt touch anything else.. and finally decided to give it a go and restart it [08:16] therealpsychx: can you boot suse? [08:17] mae_tae, did you get my last post, the instruction said to Extract first, then Touch the other file, you can't do both on ome command line. [08:17] I wonder if VirtualBox has the Mac OS version? [08:17] but usually grub should display itself right ? (which is for me the odd part) [08:17] therealpsychx, rrr .. ok, then try the Laptop Version. [08:17] cipherz: mine doesn't but my timeout is small [08:18] chris_osx: openSUSE? [08:18] therealpsychx: yes [08:18] chris_osx: I haven't tried yet. I will try that now. [08:18] is there a way to remove the fancy start up tihng, so I can see what is going on ? :) [08:18] the splash screen i think its called [08:19] therealpsychx, I must admit though, i've not seen a time where the Desktop version Would Not Boot, and the Laptop WOuld it's usually the other way around, but as ActioParsnip said, theres a bug on this issue. [08:19] cipherz: press esc when plymouth shows [08:19] cipherz: yes, edit the boot statement and remove quiet and splash [08:19] thanks [08:19] ActionParsnip, plymouth ? [08:19] all I get is a cursor waiting and nothing else :( [08:19] cipherz: the lucid boot splash is plymouth [08:19] ActionParsnip, thanks :) [08:20] so guessing, reinstall grub (just to be on the safe side) and remove quiet/splash and increase time should at least help me get a clue whats going on [08:20] cipherz: or you can edit /etc/default/grub and remove the boot options there [08:20] KE1HA: Yeah, I haven't seen this either. I'm going to try both SUSE and the laptop variant of Ubuntu. [08:20] excellent :) [08:20] cipherz: you must run: sudo update-grub ,to apply the change [08:20] Try the Ubuntu Laptop Version First. [08:20] hey guys [08:21] what the hell [08:21] weird the timeout is like 10, so i should have least seen it hmm [08:21] cipherz: you'll need to delete quiet splash from the quotes [08:21] ubuntu cannot handle files larger than 3gb? [08:21] rgnr: not correct. [08:21] ActionParsnip, did that already :) just looking at the other options.. and guessing the timeout 10 is in seconds [08:21] rgnr: it can hadle xb files [08:21] I have an Old ASUS A6V, and it went in really slick, even WPA worked out of the box, was well impressed with the Laptop Verion of 10.04 over 9.10 [08:21] rgnr: it can handle much larger, it depends on the filesystem and other factors. [08:21] fs3 [08:22] hmm interesting [08:22] it copies 3 gb and then gives an error with file to large [08:22] rgnr: look at the wikipedia page for ext4 [08:22] rgnr: without providing more details there is no way to hepl you further. what FS are you running? [08:22] rgnr: are there any bugs logged for it? [08:22] oh its ext4 [08:23] is there a solution for : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/511001 [08:23] KE1HA: Did you ever try the desktop version on that? [08:23] rgnr: if you are copying to fat32 you will get that [08:23] rgnr: ext4 should definitely be able to handle that. [08:23] rgnr: but we have too little info to provide help [08:24] i somehow doubt this can be good: Cannot find list of partitions! (update-grub) [08:24] rgnr: try a different file manager too like thunar or pcmanfm. Maybe its a bug with nautilus [08:24] I have mounted /dev and /proc .. tried running it with strace but cant seem to find anything of interest from the syscalls [08:24] well i copy it to f32 [08:24] ad ntfs [08:25] so where does evolution store its mailboxes? [08:25] therealpsychx, on my Laptop, no, only put Dekstop version on Desktops. [08:25] rgnr: ntfs will be fine, fat32 has a fairly small maximum filesize so if you copy 3gb files to fat32 you will get that error [08:25] KE1HA: Is it the "netbook" version? [08:26] I have the Notebook version running on all my notebooks, server & desktops running on desktops. [08:27] rgnr: there's a suggestion on brainstorm to make the os look at the copy tasks to fat32 and then show a message saying "that won't work dave" [08:27] ActionParsnip: thanks [08:27] KE1HA: netbook desktop on a server, bit weird [08:27] KE1HA: I mean, I see you saying notebook - but on their website, it says netbook. And I thought there was a difference between notebooks and netbooks. I'm just a little confused. [08:28] ActionParsnip, no, my server / workstations have Server or Workstation only. [08:28] rgnr: just out of curiosity, why didn't you tell us you were copying to an fat32 filesystem initially? [08:28] hi im having trouble install Demume i have a guide from wikipedia but when i type Sudo Make it says no target specified and no makefile found . stop . [08:28] ? [08:29] whats does that mean ? [08:29] Oh... SRI, I missunderstood as well :-) .. No NET-Books, only NoteBooks or "Laptops: here. [08:29] Hi, I wonder if VirtualBox has the Mac OS version? [08:30] wat [08:30] 0200 i do not understand the question [08:30] o2oo, yes the have Virtualbox for Mac OS, but that's a bit off-topic for us here. [08:31] KE1HA: So, if I want the laptop version - where can I find it? on Ubuntu.com I only see the Desktop and Netbook versions. [08:31] o2oo, try ##apple [08:33] ????/ [08:33] can anyone help with that ?

I never reccomend an upgrade from one version to the next.. I always reccomend backing up what you need to and do a clean install [08:45] rav014, google Ubuntu 10.04 Reviews, all the major sited reviewd it, there's allot of improvements in 10.04. [08:45] coz_, How do you feel about keeping the home directory on another partition and then upgrading the OD that way i.e. never having to touch the home folder [08:46] thanks a lot guys because right now im downloading ubuntu-10.04-netbook [08:46] mick02, in all honesty I never do that so I dont have much expeirence with it... I follow my own advice :) === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [08:46] rav014, cool.... [08:46] rav014, why netbook? [08:47] can starcraft 2 play on ubuntu [08:47] coz_, fair enough, I've been thinking about moving my home folder to it's own partition but I'm being quite lazy about doing it! [08:47] OneMillionDollar, I cant answer that here ... I am not much of a gamer [08:47] rav014, Im using Sever-64, Desktop-32 & 64 and have a PPA for my Laptop. After a few tweaks, there all running faily well for this stage in the distro, and like was said, it's a LTS release. [08:47] i'm not a gamer too heheheehehe [08:47] mick02, yeah on this point you may have to get the advice of someone else and maybe good advice about that on ##linux channel :) [08:47] i like netbook because im always travelling [08:48] it's handy [08:48] small [08:48] for 10 years i got pc only 2 games i play [08:48] netbook better than the stupid ipad [08:48] rav014, you may want to look into kubuntu's netbook edition.. I found it nicer to work with... faster than the gnome one... and prettier as well :) [08:48] steve jobs said ipad going to replace netbook an calling it rubbish [08:48] ok! [08:48] i have read every were that Star Trek onlline works under wine but i tried every thing to no avail [08:49] ipad -> proprietary! [08:49] rav014, actually ... I believe the 'minimal install" cd allows for either gnome netbook or kde netbook as well as ubuntu edubuntu and kubuntu [08:49] rav014, and its not difficult to work with however it is not a live cd [08:50] ciphersson, have you tried it with PlayOnLinux ? [08:50] is it possible to do wildcards in linux hostfile? [08:50] hi! if I've installed sun-java do I need to remove open-java to ensure sun-java is utilized henceforth? [08:50] yep [08:50] rav014, the advantage of the minimal is that it download what it needs from the internet and it is always up to date after the install [08:50] <64 bit 10.04 lts on i7 gtx 260 [08:50] i think kde is much better than gnome [08:51] in terms of desktop [08:51] nice graphic [08:51] rav014, well I disagree but thats my personal opinion but I do believe the kde netbook is much nicer :) [08:51] ty [08:51] coz, i try kubuntu [08:52] therealpsychx, If you still there, I've not found this PPA yet, but stil hunting fer it. [08:53] rav014, ok if you try it with the minimal install cd when you bet the "boot" prompt ...just hit enter [08:53] KE1HA: Yeah, I'm still here - thanks a lot! [08:54] the CLI only server install rocks! .. fast and no fluff added at all. [08:55] Of course, not desktop / GUI .. but once you get used to CLI, it's a breeze to admin. [08:56] I can't get ocr to work and my son needs it now. tesseract errors is "check_legal_image_size:Error:Only 1,2,4,5,6,8 bpp are supported:16" which means nothing to me. anything else I can try?

[08:57] therealpsychx, [08:58] therealpsychx, no === fredrick is now known as frendah [08:58] livingdaylight: I'm looking, because I am wondering the same thing. [08:58] therealpsychx, do you know whether ubuntu automatically chooses sun-java over open-java if they are installed side by side? [08:58] i see [08:59] livingdaylight: I'm not sure [08:59] quietone, not an exper on OCR but here'a How-To: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR [08:59] hi popey [09:00] popey, do you know whether ubuntu automatically chooses sun-java over open-java if they are installed side by side? [09:02] livingdaylight: I just uninstalled my openjava. openjdk in synaptic [09:02] hey, anyone know of a DCC fileserver for Xchat? [09:02] therealpsychx, I'm the opposite, I@m removing my openjdk [09:03] livingdaylight: Yeah, that's what I removed. Now I only have Sun-Java. [09:03] mikeru, http://www.socosoftware.com/FS.html [09:05] hello, I recently upgraded the kernel of my ubuntu 10.04 lts, and booted for the first time with it this morning. Now when I boot I just see a cursor and nothing else. Tried booting a live cd and re-running grub without luck also disabled quiet and splash and ensured that timeout was long enough to make it possible to see grub .. nothing [09:05] i realized that apparantly grub cannot do embedding, and it should be noted that grub is installed in an extended partition, because of the partition scheme that lenovo t400 provides === emil is now known as Guest41778 [09:07] Ubuntu [09:07] hi [09:08] hi === KB1JWQ is now known as KB1JWQ|Birfday [09:08] Hi, I'm looking for a good cli web browser, I've tried lynx and elinks, anyone have any recomendations? I would prefer to have VIM style motions [09:08] Naznaz, hi [09:08] i got a strange problem with my internet connection on lucid, can anyone help me? [09:08] cipherz, Um...I don't suppose you can be slightly more descriptive? [09:08] Guest4113, hi [09:09] how does one get flash on amd64 now that adobe pulled the plug on the 64-bit version of 10.0? [09:09] YankDownUnder, what do you want to know ? [09:10] cipherz, Describe, in order, what exactly happened; what changed from the time it was working properly, how your disk layout is - simple things. [09:10] are questions about maverick allowed here, or is there a separate channel? [09:10] tensorpudding: i have flash on ubuntu 64 bit 19 [09:10] 10 [09:10] YankDownUnder, gimme a sec writing up the story + partition scheme in a pastebin [09:11] cipherz, Roger [09:11] chris_osx: the stories that i'm hearing is that it got pulled and you can't use it anymore. [09:12] tensorpudding: where did you read that? [09:12] Hi. I want to install a PPA from launchpad, but I'm missing the add-apt-repository command. Where do I get that from? [09:12] tsdh, Are you typing: sudo add-apt-respository blah blah blah? [09:12] thanks for all your help calling it a night and working on the multiple video cards tom. [09:13] YankDownUnder: yes [09:13] @ tsdh: you can add the ppa to software sources [09:13] KE1HA, thank you for your time. [09:14] tsdh, The general command would be: sudo add-apt-repository (insert PPA here) => check that you're typing it correctly... [09:14] YankDownUnder, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Jwe7X0Uf - sorry the partition table is not fdisk -l but I am in windows right now [09:14] thought about re-running easybcd ( see pastebin) [09:14] and thanks in advance for helping me :) === zeitgeist is now known as musashi [09:15] YankDownUnder: Yes, I type exactly that. Maybe my server runs a too old ubuntu version. I already did "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade". How do I know the version I'm running? === jofo__ is now known as jofo [09:16] cipherz, I believe in this situation you're going to have to do the "Windows Boot Recovery" prior to doing the grub2 stuff... [09:16] YankDownUnder, ''windows boot recovery'', just to make sure I understand you, ''re-run generation of windows boot menu'' ? [09:16] tsdh, Um... cat /etc/issue => will tell you the version [09:17] chris_osx: sorry, my irc client crashed [09:17] they pulled the linux 64-bit flash from their website, and the partner channel on the software channel doesn't stock it anymore [09:17] cipherz, When booting with the Win7 disk, you can do a recovery => I personally use a "Vista Recovery Disk" that I downloaded for assistance with that kinda crap... [09:18] YankDownUnder, ahh I cannot do that :) if I do that my lenovo mbr is trashed.. [09:18] cipherz, As well, once I'm done, I boot a liveCD, then mount/chroot the partitions, THEN re-run grub [09:18] and windows 7 boots just fine :) and yeah thats what I did ;) followed instructions just had to add --force [09:18] cipherz, Well, then you can try what I just said - boot to a liveCD, chroot, then re-run grub2 matey [09:19] there has to be a 64-bit libflashplayer.so lying around somewhere... [09:19] YankDownUnder: Ok, it is "Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS". All the PPA howtos are for Karmic or later. How do I upgrade to a newer version? (I always thought dist-upgrade would do that...) [09:19] YankDownUnder, I did that already :) doesnt help :/ [09:20] tsdh: dist-upgrade just does an upgrade of kernel and stuff like that [09:20] tsdh: misleading, i know... [09:20] tsdh, purge, update, then dist-upgrade... [09:21] has 8.04 -> 10.04 even been tested? that has got to wreak some serious havoc on a system ... [09:22] randy_: er, yes, it's been heavily tested. LTS->LTS is definitely a supported upgrade path. [09:22] the only supported upgrade paths are adjacent releases and LTS to LTS upgrades, aren't they? [09:22] cipherz, Have you double-checked your /etc/default/grub and also your /etc/grub.d configs? [09:22] tensorpudding: yes. [09:22] randy_: worked like a charm on my mother-in-laws machine :) [09:23] randy, YankDownUnder [09:23] jasonwryan: yeah... i make too many odd changes for a normal upgrade. i always run into issues. [09:23] randy, YankDownUnder: I guess I also have to fiddle in the sources.list.d/? === someone is now known as Guest75970 [09:23] tsdh, ya might wanna double check yer sources to make SURE they're pointing to the right places... [09:24] randy_: Hers is a pretty vanilla box: I keep it simple for her... [09:24] uii [09:24] YankDownUnder, have to admit I havent browsed through /etc/grub.d but I have been through /etc/default/grub (mainly to disable splash,quiet and make sure i had a timeout) but did look it over [09:25] YankDownUnder, gonna try and boot with my easybcd changes, if nothing else I'll be online from the livecd and able to do a better detailed description [09:25] brb [09:25] cipherz, When you initially set this up - since you don't want to touch the Lenovo MBR, did you set it up to boot into linux through the Windows boot mangler, or through grub? [09:26] I hope somebody can help me so i'll outline my problem in short :) [09:26] YankDownUnder, randy: Here are some good instructions: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [09:26] How should I go about mounting a .daa file? [09:26] I'm on WLAN at an 16 Mbit connection, and apt download speed is very good about ~1,8 Mb/s [09:26] Thanks! [09:27] But browsing is insanely slow (Firefox and Opera), sites do either load very slowly or i just get an error [09:27] tsdh, In all reality, mate, I don't do upgrades. In the past, um, 18 years, I've done THREE. All went south. So I don't. I do clean installations. Workstations, servers, whatever. [09:27] also tracepath www.google.de aborts after the server of the ISP [09:27] What's the trick to get GCC working on Ubuntu/Lucid 64-bit? When I install build-essential I get a gcc that can't compile because the back-end assembler doesn't recognize the 64-bit registers. [09:27] What can i do? :) [09:27] Naznaz: have you tried using a different DNS server? [09:27] no, how? [09:27] Naznaz: do sites load slowly or is there a long wait before they start loading and then they load quickly? [09:27] I just had some wierd power searge and my computers turned off. On my Ubuntu Server when it restarted I get an command line that says (initramfs) how do I fix the problem [09:28] long wait before loading starts (if loading starts) [09:28] and sometimes a very fast error [09:28] Naznaz: SwedeMike it feels like to me that DNS isn't resolving like its supposed to [09:28] therealpsychx, I convert them to an ISO then mount 'em. [09:28] (but only in opera) [09:28] YankDownUnder: Well, the server is only a virtual image, so I don't have a change to do a clean install on my own. [09:28] [09:28] [09:28] [09:28] [09:28] tsdh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:29] YankDownUnder: What do you use to convert them? [09:29] Naznaz: then you most likely have a dns problem, use wireshark or alike to track what's going on on the wire, if a DNS request is timeouting for instance. [09:29] Naznaz: you can test your DNS real quick by using the dig command (or nslookup) [09:29] Naznaz: for example... $ dig google.com [09:29] therealpsychx, AcetoneISO mate [09:29] Naznaz: might be ipv6 related, look for AAAA request and answer in the DNS traffic. [09:29] YankDownUnder: Thanks! [09:30] YankDownUnder, so I have been using grub-legacy from easybcd since my original 10.04 lts install.. and its been working.. but i decided to try, just for the fun of it, if their grub2 worked [09:30] but if it's a dns-problem, shouldn't the same problem appear on windows? [09:30] YankDownUnder, and the grub-legacy didnt .. but grub2 did.. hmm [09:30] anyone know how to fix BusyBox error on Ubuntu 10.04 [09:30] Naznaz: not it's not a pure dns problem most likely, but dns might be one part. [09:30] cipherz, Mate, I've been sticking to grub2 - or lilo (for some of my client's boxen) [09:31] Naznaz: i concur. IF your DNS responses take a long time (they should be almost immediate via the dig command) then we know where to start looking [09:31] Naznaz, Change the settings to ignore IPv6, restart the connection, see if that helps. [09:31] okay, I'll post the output of dig. one moment [09:31] Naznaz: thats not necessary [09:32] YankDownUnder, well I didnt really choose anything in the install, and as far as I know grub2 is default in ubuntu.. but didnt know that earlier.. (so used easybcd's legacy support .. without problems until last kernel upgrade hmm something else besides the kernel must have been installed :) ) [09:32] okay, it seems to be fast :) [09:32] I'll try disabling ipv6, brb [09:32] Naznaz: did you try a website name you don't normally go to?? [09:32] ubuntu.it [09:32] Naznaz: its possible you received a cached response... [09:32] no [09:32] oh ok [09:33] a website i never went to takes somewhat longer but is still fast [09:33] cipherz, I'd use what is packaged - which is grub2 by default - using the easybcd is fine and dandy, but I'd say you're going to have more ease by re-installing grub2 from the liveCD - doing the re-mount and chroot prior [09:33] ipv6 is already set to ignore [09:33] Naznaz: what kind of internet connection do you have? [09:33] ADSL [09:33] Naznaz, Add in another DNS server that's not in your country - like 139.130.4.5 [09:34] also very fast response [09:34] YankDownUnder, I think I am really poor at expressing myself, because when I read your replies it doesnt make sense according to what I have done.. sorry :) one last time: I tried what you just did, without luck, changed my windows boot menu options and voila.. dont know how it worked before as grub2 always have been default in ubuntu 10.04 .. but thanks a lot for your time and have a nice day :) [09:34] YankDownUnder: Do you ever have problems converting files with acetoneiso? [09:34] come faccio ad andare su ubuntu.it? grazie [09:34] !it | guido_ [09:34] guido_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [09:35] therealpsychx, Not unless they're corrupted... [09:35] YankDownUnder: Oh, ok. It told me something about losing the first layer or something like that. I'm still trying it. [09:35] is there a free replacement for the flashplugin? [09:35] Naznaz: and you say windows computers work fine.. hmm... [09:36] yes, my gf's laptop running vista is just fine [09:36] Naznaz: you mentioned opera, do the different browsers behave differently? [09:36] Naznaz, go format it n put ubuntu then maybe vm vista [09:36] lol [09:36] If I want to mount something, do I just cp it to the media directory that i have? ie: /media/iso [09:36] therealpsychx: cp doesn't mount anything. [09:37] Naznaz: and you run wireless. its possible that you're losing a lot of packets (errors) over the radio link. [09:37] therealpsychx, You should be able to mount it from wherever it's at - no need to copy it anywhere... [09:37] SwedeMike: opera sometimes immediately throws an error, while firefox takes some seconds and then starts loading [09:37] sudo mount -o loop filename ? [09:37] i dunno, I'm sitting right next to the router [09:37] Naznaz: have you tried a wired connection to see if the problem goes away? [09:37] nope [09:37] Naznaz: again, my advice is to use wireshark and look at what's going on on the wire. [09:37] okay thanks [09:37] I'll try wired first [09:37] brb [09:38] Naznaz, You can also change the MTU to 1500 instead of "automatic" - I find that helps heaps. [09:38] why do people hate actually looking what's going on at the packet layer? [09:38] Naznaz, what does wireshark do [09:38] ? [09:38] why are my user folders (e.g. /home/me/downloads) absent in file choosing prompts yet present in normal navigation? [09:38] SwedeMike: its not that. we are all not OSI professionals working on the linklayer on a daily basis [09:38] does anyone know an appon ubuntu for bandwith management on a network [09:39] SwedeMike: unless you know what to look for, its all gibberish [09:39] What's the trick to get GCC working on Ubuntu/Lucid 64-bit? When I install build-essential I get a gcc that can't compile because the back-end assembler doesn't recognize the 64-bit registers. Here's the output on a freshly-installed Ubuntu 10.4 system with build-essential installed: http://ideone.com/G8WUZ [09:39] morning [09:39] pradeep: bandwidth management has historically been a sticky/difficult subject in the linux community primarily due to a lack of documentation [09:39] am i right in thinking .bash_profile is executed at login? [09:39] and .bashrc upon 'su/sudo' ? [09:39] randy_: but if you do, it's an excellent tool in finding out what's going on. I work as an network engineer and "server people" seem to hate to have to look at what's actually going on. [09:40] pradeep: truly, Linux has extremely powerful QoS tools, but no one knows how to use them ;) [09:40] i have aliases which don't work after sudoing [09:40] hrhrhr_, For bash, yes. the ~.profile is for your environment stuff [09:40] RaNdy_ hmmm i c [09:40] randy_: and it's not that hard, spend 20-30 minutes reading up on DNS and TCP and you will have a lot of use for it. [09:40] YankDownUnder: .bash_profile or .profile? does it matter/ [09:40] hrhrhr_, If you describe what you're trying to accomplish, that may help [09:41] RaNdY_ so who wrote them [09:41] SwedeMike: i never said that I haven't done that. I'm just suggesting that it may not be necessary for Naznaz to do that if its a Driver issue as opposed to a network issue [09:42] pradeep: a magical individual by the name of Alexey N. Kuznetsov did a lot of the work (and I assume he takes a lot of the credit) even though a countless number of people had a hand in it... [09:42] <- Naznaz [09:42] YankDownUnder: i have basic aliases such as c=clear in my .bash_profile [09:42] when i sudo [09:42] i lose these [09:42] still the same problem with wired connection [09:42] and [09:42] when i input google.com instead of www.google.com in opera i immediately get a network error [09:42] N4zroth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:42] hrhrhr_, Well, then the question has just been answered. === N4zroth is now known as Naznaz [09:44] pradeep: there have been *some* tools written to make bandwidth management easier/manageable, but none of them are gui based (at least not in Ubuntu that i know of)... [09:44] pradeep: i found in my experience, though, that they weren't very good/extensible [09:45] brb switching to wireless again [09:45] Is it possible to get virus on Ubuntu 10.04? [09:45] randy_, pradeep => Squid can be used. [09:45] currently i have a user who can run root takes by typing in their password when prompted, but i like to prevent them from running root tasks unless i enter an admins account password [09:45] can this be done? [09:45] jgcampbell300, nope [09:45] jgcampbell300, Um...is this a joke? [09:45] jgcampbell300, it is possible but very unlikely [09:45] I did not think so, but I have been having some trouble that I can not explain:( [09:46] RaNdY_ so wat do u suggest i do [09:46] YankDownUnder: thats a yes and no problem that only can solve a *part* of a larger issue. the root solution is at the tc level [09:46] jgcampbell300: Theoretically yes. Practically: no. [09:46] IN THEORY, there are like, um, what, 13 viruses for unix/bsd/linux => however, they cannot survive in the "wild" [09:46] jgcampbell300, linux is overseen by many groups that watch out for and report on possible threats... for the desktop linux it is unlikely to happen for at least 5 years [09:46] I have not changed anything but now avi files that played fine before do not work [09:46] jgcampbell300, if you are really concerend you can go to the BlackHat security conference site and read on what they have reported etc === pooky_ is now known as pooky [09:47] randy_ am a network admin in a teaching hospital so many peeps download alot of thing where draggin n taking up all the bandwith u get [09:47] pradeep: honestly, if you intent to run a server in a router capacity, i would suggest running something more intended for that, like vyatta or zeroshell (not to bash on ubuntu, but, server is not equal to router) [09:47] jgcampbell300, Simple steps to figure this out. 1.) From the last time you were able to view them, what has been installed/changed/upgraded? 2.) Are you doing exactly what you did before to play them? 3.) Are you using a particular program to view them, or are you viewing them in your web browser? [09:48] randy_ i have a cisco router 1800 series [09:48] pradeep, Um...have you thought about setting quotas on the user accounts? [09:49] YankDownUnder: As you've foreseen, the upgrade didn't work: http://pastebin.ca/1909945 [09:49] YankDownUnder, pradeep, i don't think that solves the problem of bandwidth usage compared to downloaded/temporary/streaming media [09:49] It seems I have to update the kernel package and reboot. How do I do that? [09:49] I have been a lot of stuff trying to figgure this one out ... it seems random ... a file will play and then one day it will quit ... but not all the files quit playing at the same time ... seems to happen to a few files at a time ... i did notice that when i opend up the info on the playing file i was seeing mp3 insted of avi [09:50] What's the trick to get GCC working on Ubuntu/Lucid 64-bit? When I install build-essential I get a gcc that can't compile because the back-end assembler doesn't recognize the 64-bit registers. Here's the output on a freshly-installed Ubuntu 10.4 system with build-essential installed: http://ideone.com/G8WUZ [09:50] is there a way to update all the codex packages ? [09:50] hello. I wanted to install lucid yesterday and tried the daily build (alterate amd64). after clicking "install ubuntu" I got the error: "uncompress error -- system halted" is this a known problem ? I could reproduce it on my notebook. I created a bootable usb stick from the iso using Ubuntu's creator [09:50] YankDownUnder, randy_ so what do you suggest ? some one told me about mikrotik [09:50] maybe something happend to them [09:50] Naznaz: well, we've proven that you don't have a wireless issue, and your DNS seems to be fine, and IPv6 is out [09:51] tsdh, Well, time to do a fresh install - unless you want to waste more time by upgrading to like 8.10, then to 9.04, then 9.10 and finally to 10.04...(I hate wasting time...yet another reason why I like doing fresh installations) [09:51] yes :( [09:51] pradeep: yeah, i've looked at mikrotik before, but its pricy for what you get. its cheaper just to build a bigger ATX server with fancy (lit. big) gig ethernet ports on the cheap [09:52] I've set up a public&private key for ssh authentication between 2 ubuntu, one is mustafa@server1 the other is root@server2 ... when I do ssh root@server2 , it still asks me for password .... why ?? [09:52] YankDownUnder: As I've said, I cannot do a fresh install because that's only a virtual server I don't have physical access to. [09:52] MauL^, try running ssh -vv or something to see whats going on :) [09:52] jgcampbell300, Have you tried VLC to play them? [09:52] hello I want to install an update to transmission but it seems it is available through ppa (https://edge.launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/nightly/+packages) is there a simple way to update like synaptic ?

[09:52] MauL^, could easily be some permission problems on the key ;) [09:52] pradeep: there really is no difference between building something big except size and power. the proc. in the microtik won't compare with what you get in a real mobo [09:53] hi. could somebody help me with external monitor config? [09:53] tsdh, Dunno what to say mate...I have physical access to my servers... [09:53] yes ... I always use VLC [09:53] whatever I choose in config always get out of range [09:53] pradeep: in the end, you still end up with a 'how do i do it' 'what os do i use' type of problem [09:53] YankDownUnder: Good for you. ;-) [09:53] jgcampbell300, Well, then you're possibly having codec issues... [09:53] randy_ what do you suggest seems you are a network admin [09:54] is there a command or something to reset/reinstall all the codec ? [09:54] YankDownUnder: vlc is your frend [09:54] tsdh, Be nice to be able to create a new VM and just copy stuff over to it... [09:54] Dunno if VLC is my frend, but it's certainly my media player of choice. [09:54] YankDownUnder: you can enable usb and copy stuff [09:55] YankDownUnder: no codec issues then [09:55] Enable USB and copy stuff? Um...I think something got lost in the translation... [09:55] PureSine: just add pa repository and install with synaptic [09:55] pradeep: well, if you want something that won't fry your brain after weeks of studying LARTC (Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control), let me suggest zeroshell, they have tutorials and can at least get you really close to something that would really work right without a lot of tweaking miserably in the command line, i.e. http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/qos/ [09:56] HELLO [09:56] I also wonder why apt is so insanely fast and my browsers aren't :/ [09:56] Guest72611, where should I add it in synaptic ? [09:56] Naznaz: yes, thats a good question. [09:57] Naznaz, Have you made sure you turned off proxy auto-configuration in your web browser? [09:57] YankDownUnder: vms support usb so you can copy things using a usb device or you can make a samba share [09:57] or ftp etc [09:57] puresine: you can add with system | administration | software sources [09:57] PureSine: or in synaptic wait a second.... [09:57] YankDownUnder, yes it's turned off [09:58] YankDownUnder, Naznaz good call. let me also suggest, just to narrow things down, downloading a file on the command line using wget to see if there is some sort of gnome proxy thing borking things up. I also suspect it might be network-manager [09:58] Naznaz, If everything else works fast (or appears to) - have you tried more than one browser? [09:58] PureSine: Settings | repositories [09:58] YankDownUnder, I tried Opera and Firefox [09:59] randy_, I'll try wget [09:59] PureSine: Second tab: Another software ; click add.. button [10:00] PureSine: argh... but don't know what to put in. Moment... [10:00] tsdh, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [10:00] randy_, when i do wget http://blahblah , resolving the address takes ages but download is fast [10:00] YankDownUnder: That's exactly the procedure I did. [10:00] when i repeat this, resolving still takes ages [10:00] PureSine: ppa:transmissionbt/nightly put this [10:01] tsdh, I'll assume you've followed this TO THE "T" yeah? [10:01] randy_ is that guide how to configure zeroshell besides wud ubuntu work [10:01] ? [10:01] What's the trick to get GCC working on Ubuntu/Lucid 64-bit? When I install build-essential I get a gcc that can't compile because the back-end assembler doesn't recognize the 64-bit registers. Here's the output on a freshly-installed Ubuntu 10.4 system with build-essential installed: http://ideone.com/G8WUZ [10:01] PureSine: or instead of clickuing run Terminal and type in: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:transmissionbt/nightly [10:02] i am trying to backup a cd with drivers on it, I want to make a image file. I am using brasero and it defaults to a *.toc image file. is it alright to use a toc image. or should I choose iso [10:02] yudi1, ISO image is best suited. [10:02] Guest72611, you mean I don't have to type full http address of the package ? [10:03] PureSine: no [10:03] PureSine: you have to add repo adress [10:04] PureSine: synaptic will get packages index and all the stuff it needs to instal package [10:04] pradeep: ah, that link was specifically for Zeroshell, just as an example of what *it* can do. of course, Ubuntu *can* do it. tc (as part of iproute2 package) is an integral part of the linux kernel in every distribution. most people will never need/touch/learn the tc command and it is so rarely employed that very little has been written about it. rarely do people need to do what you want to do. regardless, it is incredibly p [10:04] where should I add repo address ? in synaptic where you gave the address before ? [10:04] Or is Ubuntu not intended to work with amd64 architectures? === sree is now known as sreR [10:05] yank..., ok but why is it defaulting to .toc, I backed up a dvd and it used iso. [10:05] ttmrichter: amd64 is definitely supported, been running it for years myself. [10:05] pradeep: unlike vyatta/Zeroshell, though, there isn't a fancy interface for configuring bandwidth management in ubuntu [10:05] SwedeMike: can you explain http://ideone.com/G8WUZ? [10:05] Guest72611, where should I add repo address ? in synaptic where you gave the address before ? [10:05] yudi1, Not sure [10:05] GCC's back-end is choking on the extended amd64 registers. === Claudinux is now known as Klaudinux [10:05] ttmrichter: nope, let me try that on my machine. [10:06] PureSine: yes. Synaptic | Settings | repositories in that window select second tab (another software), press add.. buton at the bottom and put this ppa:transmissionbt/nightly. Done [10:06] yank, no prob, using iso. will stick to what I know. thanks [10:06] YankDownUnder: Well, I've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades, section "Upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS", subsection "Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended)". [10:06] Does somebody know long how it takes to erase an harddrive using DBAN's quick erase method? like 600GB [10:06] ttmrichter: that compiles just fine on my 10.04 amd64 machine. [10:06] pradeep: here's a link to some (rather simple) scripts available in the repositories for bandwidth shaping: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/use-bandwidth-shapers-wondershaper-or-trickle-to-limit-internet-connection-speed.html [10:06] Guest72611, thanks I try that :) === Klaudinux is now known as Claudinux [10:06] SwedeMike: So how would I go about diagnosing this? I've reinstalled everything I could find related to development and get the same problem. [10:07] KE1HA, thx. I have been using that and I can't get any of the options to work [10:07] tsdh, Have you ever been to this server - where the VM lives? [10:07] randy_ been of great help... are you network admin [10:07] Co tu mam pisac ? [10:07] ttmrichter: sorry, I don't know how to debug that. [10:07] hm [10:07] YankDownUnder: Nope. I don't even know where that is. [10:07] Dawo [10:07] my apt-get is stuck because some stuff i tried to install has unmet dependencies it keeps telling me to run apt-get -f install to fix it [10:07] s [10:08] s [10:08] s [10:08] piszczekd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:08] s [10:08] s [10:08] s [10:08] but that puts me in a loop [10:08] tsdh, Um...and you're trying to do an upgrade on this machine? [10:08] anyone have any suggestions? [10:08] pradeep: i ran a few ISP's in my day in the hot sun surrounded by commercial internet satellites funded with community cash... running on a budget, paying out the ** for bandwidth, baking in the hot hot hot hot sun... (enough about that ;)) [10:08] when ever I join a channel or start pidgin I get quite a few tab pop up, like from nickserv, frigg, etc, how to suppress them [10:09] strange: have you run it with the force flag? What happened? [10:09] Fuck Ubuntu. [10:09] yudi1, Um...have you tried #pidgin ? [10:09] randy_ i must say you have paid your dues lol [10:09] strange: sorry, just saw the next line... [10:09] randy_ thanks [10:09] Naznaz: yeah, it still feels like a wierd DNS thing or a TCP windowing issue, or even the MTU thing mentioned earlier [10:09] pradeep: no problem ;) [10:10] randy_, i tried setting mtu to 1500 but no change [10:10] YankDownUnder: Seems so. But I do have good backups of my data, so I could perform a fresh install and later copy my data back. [10:10] wow I think something has eaten some of my avi files [10:10] YankDownUnder: The provider has a reinstall option on the web frontend. [10:10] yank...,will try [10:10] tsdh, Mate, I'm used to thinking in another perspective - using linux servers to run MS in VM's - not the other way around... [10:10] Has anyone used dban? [10:11] uLinux, As an antiperspirant? [10:11] lol [10:11] jasonwryan, http://pastebin.com/7QteZ68t [10:12] sobeody help me with monitor issue? [10:12] i need a way to remove those packages i think so it doesnt want to isntall them anymore [10:12] uLinux, I'd just assume to format the drive a heap of times with different FS's, then zero out the disk [10:12] libglew1.5-dev: Depends: libgl1-mesa-dev or [10:12] libgl-dev [10:12] libglu1-mesa-dev: Depends: libgl1-mesa-dev or [10:12] libgl-dev [10:12] strange: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:12] those [10:13] strange, apt-get autoremove && apt-get -f install && apt-get update => eh? [10:13] YankDownUnder, trying. [10:13] Naznaz: did you do this to disable IPv6? http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/ [10:14] YankDownUnder: nope that just does the same bitches about dependencies [10:14] hi [10:14] strange: manually remove (or move) libGL.so and retry? [10:14] http://pastebin.com/hSgfKKnD [10:14] jasonwryan, can you tell me how to manually do that or link me ? [10:15] strange: sudo mv /usr/lib/libGL.so{,bak} [10:15] randy_, no i just disabled it in the interface options, trying your link now, thx [10:15] jasonwryan, same problem still. [10:16] Naznaz: no wait, this one http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html that link was too old === silvio is now known as schnux [10:16] strange, Um...have you tried to manually select the libmesa stuff and remove them? [10:17] YankDownUnder, i've tried "apt-get remove lib-mesa(or whatever its called) [10:17] and purge i've tried as well [10:17] randy_, okay, thanks [10:17] strange, This is strange, strange. HOWEVER, there are answers... [10:18] for some reason it looks like its in a queue of some sorts becuase if i want to run an aptitude thing unrelated to those it still wants those first, where is this queue stored [10:18] answers i like :) [10:18] strange: flush the dpkg cache? [10:19] jasonwryan, how? [10:19] if the /etc/modprobe.d/aliases file does not exist, does simply creating it suffice? [10:19] YankDownUnder: strange whenever i see references to libmesa a chill races down my spine from days of old ... when graphics drivers were unreliable and skinny elephants occasionally trampled all over my keyboard... [10:20] nvidia drivers are decent these days but i installed something to disrupt the balance :x [10:20] randy_, Those were the days when I did mostly everything in the console - or just ran OLVWM and didn't worry about graphic [10:20] strange: apt-get clear [10:20] jasonwryan, that command doesnt exist [10:20] Naznaz, I think you can get away with that. [10:21] strange: whoops: that was helpful... [10:21] apt-get purge [10:21] Naznaz: ok ok ok, here we go! guaranteed for 10.04: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu-1004.html [10:21] apt-get purge i'ved tried same error [10:21] Hello everyone I am having problems with amd64's gcc -----> http://codepad.org/H9FocBgN [10:22] strange, apt-get autoclean && apt-get check && apt-get update => ?? [10:22] thanks! :) [10:22] YankDownUnder, including => ? [10:22] strange, Don't be strange! Nah! Hehehehhee [10:22] Does anyone know a solution? I am just beginning Coding in C, [10:22] YankDownUnder, same error. [10:23] Quadrescence, Yes - the solution is use B [10:23] YankDownUnder: Excuse me? [10:23] strange, Have you, just for giggles and grins, rebooted this machine? [10:23] nope but lets do :) [10:23] yey I think you got it right! Disabling ipv6 in ff speeds things up A LOT, just trying to disable it in ubuntu and rebooting, thanks, brb [10:23] http://pastebin.com/vdiJViXb [10:23] Quadrescence, You didn't finish the question, so I answered what you already typed. [10:23] there you can see my wonderful failures [10:24] strange, They're not YOUR failures, mate...blame them on someone else. [10:24] YankDownUnder, after reboot same problems [10:24] back to the drawingboard :) [10:25] YankDownUnder: The question should be quite obvious. [10:25] "How do I fix my above problem?" [10:25] Quadrescence, Ah. Right. Clear as mud. [10:26] strange, Mate, what happens if you try to install something that you don't already have - using apt-get install - and then running apt-get update after that? [10:26] YankDownUnder: Are you trolling? I pasted a C program, gcc output, my architecture, the program compiled, the command I did [10:27] Quadrescence, Mate, you're right. I must be trolling, and I must have the answer to your question because obviously each and every one of us in here is running 64bit bloody amd Ubuntu and we're all conspiring against you by not answering the bloody question.Phew. [10:27] YankDownUnder: You know, if you do not have an answer, it would be better if you just remained quiet and not filled the channel with noise. [10:27] YankDownUnder, sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libgl1-mesa-dev_7.6.0-1ubuntu4_i386.deb [10:27] i think that fixed it [10:27] hello everybody, anyone knows if is possible to use fbi inside an ssh session [10:28] Quadrescence, You're so right. [10:28] Quadrescence: this is a support channel for the Ubuntu Distribution of Linux/GNU Debian. Most of us are not programmers and I suspect you may have better luck in either #gcc or ##C [10:28] YES! it works, thanks for thinking with me guys [10:28] strange, Coolbeans. I'l quit flooding the freaking channel. [10:28] randy_: This is on Ubuntu. [10:28] strange: nice one! [10:28] This is only a problem with Ubuntu. [10:28] randy_: So the problem is on the Ubuntu side. [10:28] * YankDownUnder now knows why he doesn't employ or befriend programmers - or wanna-be programmers [10:30] YankDownUnder: What? [10:30] woo, big channel [10:30] hi I'm back [10:30] it still doesn't work [10:30] Naznaz, Workin? [10:30] no [10:30] ff is fast [10:30] Naznaz: have you tried taht ipv6 test command? how is it going? [10:30] as i disabled ipv6 seperately [10:30] it outputs 1, so it should be disabled [10:31] Quadrescence: There seems to be some problem with your assembler.. [10:31] Try this: [10:31] Naznaz: excellent! [10:31] gcc -S hello.c === marcus_ is now known as metalgeek [10:31] no [10:31] Naznaz, Have you tried, in gconf-editor: /system/http_proxy => check the settings (or delete them) [10:31] and then copy the contents of hello.s into a pastebin and paste the link [10:32] YankDownUnder, thanks I'll try [10:33] Hi, Have been trying to network two ubuntu pcs for two days now and getting nowhere, Am nub so probably something simple that i don't know but i'm pulling my hair out, Please Help! [10:33] yessir_turan: http://codepad.org/JENI1HIY [10:33] metalgeek, Can you ping the one machine from the other? [10:34] yessir_turan: There seems to be nothing unexpected in the output except that it's using 64-bit registers and as is having a hissy fit over them. [10:34] screen mess at booting [10:34] what to do? [10:34] lemonade_, Graphics are mucked up when you're booting? [10:35] YankDownUnder, yeah,sometimes [10:35] everything but ff (and apt) is still slowly resolving addresses [10:35] lemonade_, But it does finally boot up nicely to the desktop, ya? [10:36] YankDownUnder, no,I have to reboot [10:36] lemonade_, Have you check to make sure you've got the correct drivers for your graphics card? [10:36] YankDownUnder, No, [10:36] metalgeek, Give that a shot firstly mate [10:37] YankDownUnder, there not connected [10:37] Quadrescence: Now try as test.s [10:37] and post the output.. [10:37] YankDownUnder, I think so,I get the correct 1280X800 ,and 3d desktop [10:37] metalgeek, Um...right...then I've misinterpreted your situation === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:37] YankDownUnder, am trying to create a wireless adhoc network between netbook and desktop [10:38] YankDownUnder, I cant even get the wireless up [10:38] lemonade_, Intel card? [10:38] YankDownUnder, ATI [10:38] metalgeek, You might look through the settings in Network Manager to be sure [10:38] YankDownUnder, with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [10:38] lemonade_, you can edit the /etc/default/grub and check the framebuffer settings === jvervier is now known as mark34 [10:39] YankDownUnder, Ive tried everything that my limited experiece allows, :) [10:39] Ciao c'è qualcuno che parla italiano? [10:39] !it | newbie [10:39] newbie: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [10:40] YankDownUnder, It makes no sense to me. I can at least get my netbook to connect to my windows wireless network but then i can't ping the other machines either [10:40] YankDownUnder, what's the correct setting? [10:40] metalgeek, http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=74869037 [10:40] grazie vado =) [10:40] hi [10:41] yey [10:41] Is there anyone thats know some stuff about checking for viruses on Windows via a Live-CD? Trying to check another friends computer for viruses, but ClamTK seems to end up not responding after a while. [10:41] randy_, I disabled ipv6 in grub with http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu-910.html and now my opera is fast, too =) [10:41] lemonade_, You can check by running "sudo apt-get hwinfo" => then run "sudo hwinfo --framebuffer" => check the settings available to your graphics card, then add them as such "VGA=0x0347" or whatever... === deavidsedice is now known as deavid [10:42] now I only need to get grub-shell to compile ... [10:42] olav_, Use a terminal, and do: clamscan --remove --recursive --quiet [10:43] YankDownUnder, thank you first,I'm going to have a try [10:43] lemonade_, Coolbeans. [10:44] randy_, YankDownUnder (and everyone I forgot) thanks for your help :) === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 [10:45] So that is an automated non-interactive commando for Clam that checks all disks if a am correct? If thats the case great :) Does it take care of any viruses as well or is it some kind of option to this after the process is done? [10:46] YankDownUnder, booting up to try now. is it best to just do this without logging on do the graphical user interface? [10:46] hi again [10:48] I keep getting the "ugly" thumbnails of exe's instead of the better(imo) wine icon and little exe app icon in the corner [10:48] olav_, I've used the GUI, but run clamscan or f-prot in a terminal - so that I'm not draining resource on yet another GUI. Faster, too. [10:49] olav_, Sorry - didn't see the prev post - after you've mounted the drives (which are in /media) you run that command from the /media dir as root, and yes, it cleans up all the crap recursively and automagically with only a report at the end. [10:50] the exe thumbnail that looks like a windows "window" with the exe's native icon inside it, is what I've got now, I want the other one that is the wine icon with the exe's native icon in the corner, how do I do/get that? [10:51] YankDownUnder, Great, trying out now. Thanks a lot! [10:51] olav_, Just fyi mate, I generally use f-prot & clamav - run one then the other - just in case. AND make sure you update them prior to the scan mate [10:54] can we change ubuntu 10.04 startu logo ? [10:54] brb [10:55] 9.10 startu logo was good, 10.04 got like a dos based game logo lol :D [10:55] Amway, you must be using the proprietary driver [10:55] Amway, You can look through the package manager and find more plymouth themes to boot to. [10:56] YankDownUnder, will do :) [10:56] proprietary driver ? how to check ? [10:57] * YankDownUnder thinks that you don't buy it from Amway firstly [10:57] Amway, did you install an drivers? [10:57] If I do an apt-get update or install I get a connection time out to archive.canonical.com. How can I tell if this server is actually down or if there's something else going on? [10:57] stetho, You can ping the server to check [10:58] drivers for what ? [10:58] stetho: behind proxy? [10:58] i just upgraded 9.10 to 10.04 [10:59] Nope, not behind proxy and it responds to ping. [10:59] stetho, Could be traffic at this time of night/day...I get it sometimes when it's peaked in the US [11:00] stetho: telnet archive.canonical.com 80 ? [11:00] I need coffee. === jvervier is now known as mark33 [11:01] Interesting - telnet returns a 301. I'm being redirected somewhere... [11:03] Hello people. [11:03] YankDownUnder, could I just ask one final question before hitting enter? If any files are marked as infected, can it result in loss of personal data? It is not my computer and I believe the one who owns the computer have some stuff that will be missed. The most important are images though. I am not used to viruses and such :p [11:03] Does anybody know, why ubuntu repository has the nvidia driver version 195.34, while the nvidia website has 295.35? Why that big difference in numbers? [11:04] viric: afaik, it has to do with there being more revisions made for win thatn for *nix [11:04] ther day i blacklisted something on advice from a wireless webpage about setting up a ralink rt2870. How can i undo this, i blacklisted 3 different drivers i think but it made no difference so i would like to undo to try again [11:04] hello...does anyone know what is the command to saw the type of the router im connected on wireless? [11:05] kisuke: I talk about the linux drivers specifically [11:05] well im pretty sure i just erased my grub loader [11:05] kisuke: I need an ubuntu user to install 'the latest nvidia drivers', and what he can choose looks far from the latest === ahaios is now known as Keishuke2 [11:06] did you go t the nivida site? and what do you need them for? [11:06] Is there a way for upstart jobs to say "stop be BEFORE stopping foo"? [11:07] could someone tell me how to reinstall grub with out reinstalling ubuntu ? [11:07] How do i un blacklist drivers? [11:07] jgcampbell300, are you sure you need to reinstall it [11:08] jgcampbell300, would updating it do [11:08] ok how wouldi install a .DSC? [11:08] dont know really ... i was using tweak ubuntu or something like that and i erased something bad lol [11:09] guess i could try updating if i could get to a promp [11:09] prompt [11:09] !dsc [11:09] jgcampbell300, Do you not get terminal option at grub [11:09] !source [11:09] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [11:10] nope ... i boot and get flashing thing at top left like it is stuck .. right after hardware check [11:10] hmm wonder if ssh has loaded [11:10] jgcampbell300, use live cd to boot into vdesktop to get a terminal to update grub [11:11] Hi all. My keyboard hangs every 2 seconds. Any ideas? [11:11] i just reinstalled 10.04 and it boots to a grubrescue promt.... its not loading grub apparently [11:11] kk [11:11] back [11:11] Can anyone help me with undoing blacklist [11:11] and I fixed that exe thumbnail problem [11:12] will a ubuntu server 10.04 disk work i dont think i have any desk top disks here [11:12] would a corupt install cause a "grubrescue" command prompt upon initial reboot? [11:12] jgcampbell300, i believe so but am fairly new myself lol [11:13] kk brb [11:13] I have blacklisted 3 drivers that i want to un blacklist, how to? [11:14] would a corupt install cause a "grubrescue" command prompt upon initial reboot? [11:15] kisuke: I went to the nvidia site, yes, to check the version. [11:16] Have asked same question 4 ties to no answer, am i doing something wrong (am newbie so don't understand) [11:16] kisuke: I have to deploy some binaries in that system, and it will be easier for me if I could put my nvidia libGL binaries. But that requires that user to have the proper module in the kernel [11:17] wow its takeing forever to boot [11:17] viric: why not just use the binarys off the nvida site? [11:17] i wonder witch is faster a usb hard drive or a internal sata [11:17] Hello? [11:17] any idea what this means in wine? "Fialed FsUsbExService, No existing FsUsbExDevice". I get that evertime i start any program in wine... [11:18] ddavids: #winehq is a better place for that i guess [11:18] sounds like it is looking for a usb drive that isnt there [11:18] ok im booted up [11:18] iceroot: thanks [11:19] kisuke: ubuntu is supposed to provide 'package management' :) [11:19] jgcampbell300, ok so now open terminal and: sudo update-grub [11:19] k [11:19] viric: it does, but it all tends to be older packages, because they have been proven stable. [11:20] that was for debian. Also for ubuntu? [11:20] umm poop ... error cannont find device for / [11:20] it has a package named "nvidia-current", that shows 195.34 [11:21] Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS <-- [11:21] what's the LTS stand for [11:21] jgcampbell300, That dosnt sound good, but unfortunatly its as far as i know, [11:21] hrhrhr_, long term service [11:22] Can someone help mewith blacklist please [11:22] hrhrhr_ : 8.04 lts ftw :) [11:23] what did you blacklist [11:23] metalgeek hrhrhr_ : long term support [11:23] cheers [11:24] jgcampbell300, 3 drivers that were apparantly why my wireless dongle was not working [11:24] rt2870 driversto do with ralink [11:25] jgcampbell300, i think that they were called something lik rt28000usb of something [11:25] IdleOne, Hello, i'm sorry to bother you but you have been really helpfull in the past, could you spare a minute? [11:25] whitelist [11:26] from what i read on google [11:26] metalgeek, Something you can try is to connect the machine to ethernet, and do System => Administration => Hardware Drivers => check to see if any drivers for the dongle are found (of course, you have to have the dongle IN at the time) [11:27] paidia eimai arxarios sto ubuntu kai exw provlima. mporei na voithisei kaneis? [11:27] jgcampbell300, thanks, is there a way to see a list of my blacklists [11:27] YankDownUnder, don't have ethernet [11:27] metalgeek, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [11:28] can someone help guys? ubuntu newbie here [11:29] !ask | Andreas05 [11:29] Andreas05: 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. :-) [11:29] not sure but i would think man whitelist would show you manual [11:29] YankDownUnder, opened the file but can't see the drivers that i am looking for, dose this mean that they are not blacklisted at all? [11:29] hmm maybe the info you looking for is under /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ? [11:30] im not the greatest with wifi tho but looks like a good place to look [11:31] metalgeek, How's about this - when you boot with the liveCD, does the wireless work? [11:31] Hi... I am running lucid and need help in configuring Ec1262 reliance data card... any help please.... [11:32] YankDownUnder, hold the phone, i'll try, back in a min === Random833 is now known as Random832 [11:33] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [11:33] hi mini tube is not working [11:33] which of those do i use for xeon (intel 64bit) [11:34] hrhrhr_: A server? [11:34] yeh [11:34] hrhrhr_: http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.4/ubuntu-8.04.4-server-amd64.iso [11:34] it lists it as 'amd64' [11:34] we run intel [11:34] hrhrhr_: "Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2)." [11:34] perhaps amd64 is not the most appropriate name? [11:35] hrhrhr_: No, but it's the historical one. [11:35] ok cheers [11:35] hello iam running ubuntu netmix latest version of mini tube is not working insted it skiping [11:35] hrhrhr_: it's the name used. [11:36] hrhrhr_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64#AMD64 [11:36] ravma, you're not the person whose minitube won't work - mine won't either, i did not try again to make it work [11:36] presumably it's now deprecated in 10* [11:36] *not the first person [11:37] but i like mini tube [11:37] it streems well than in browser [11:38] hrhrhr_: 10.04? No. [11:38] it's still called amdblah? [11:38] lol [11:38] hrhrhr_: Yes. [11:38] hrhrhr_: yes, because that's the correct name. [11:38] SwedeMike === Amway\A is now known as Amway [11:38] They wanted to rename it to "Carrot64" but it didn't take off very well. [11:39] how is 'amd' the correct name for a distribution which applies to architecture extending beyond amd? [11:39] hrhrhr_: AMD invented the architecture. [11:39] hrhrhr_: do you thin kit's weird that amd emulated i386? so it's weird that it's called i386 ? [11:39] any one can make my minitube running [11:39] citation? :) [11:39] anyway [11:39] who cares [11:39] 12:36 < SwedeMike> hrhrhr_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64#AMD64 [11:39] hrhrhr_ does. [11:39] is there a changelog for 8.04.04 [11:39] I have a problem booting Ubuntu from Hard disk (old video drivers). Please Help? [11:40] hrhrhr_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseNotes/ChangeSummary/8.04.4 [11:40] it seems hrhrhr_ is not very grateful for the help he's getting. [11:41] ciao [11:41] SwedeMike: my apologies [11:41] you are all right [11:41] The original specification was created by AMD, and has been implemented by AMD, Intel, VIA, and others. [11:41] now it makes perfect sense [11:41] i am very grateful to all :) [11:41] cheers jpds [11:42] hrhrhr_: Other distributions and operating systems may use other names. Partly because Debian adopted the architecture quite early. [11:42] hrhrhr_: And we inherited the name from Debian. [11:42] cool [11:43] I wonder, however, if we argue the point about naming conventions, if somehow it will all change by the end of the week? (This conversation has been going on for more than 18 years, BTW) [11:43] Newbie Help please :D I have a problem booting Ubuntu from Hard disk (old video drivers). I probably need to edit grub. Any Help? [11:43] !details | Andreas05 [11:43] Andreas05: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [11:45] Running ubuntu 10.04. Succesfully boot from usb using live i915.modeset=1 / cant boot from hard drive, I get blank screen [11:45] Andreas05: That's interesting. i915.modeset=1 should be the default in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. [11:46] Andreas05: have you tried invoking grub2 menu on boot? [11:46] wgrant, Been through this already... Andreas05 have you added this line in your /etc/default/grub config? [11:46] yes I did, but update-grub does not work [11:47] I get "error cannot find a device for" is dev mounted" [11:47] lol i have same problem as Andreas05 [11:48] I used this guide http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ [11:49] swedemike: How can invoke grub2 menu? [11:49] andreas: looks like in grub is just the wrong device generated ? [11:49] shnux: please explain a bit. I'm a complete newb [11:50] where is grub supposed to be? different partition? [11:51] Andreas05, Um...just reading through the page - did you also read through the comments that were left? [11:52] !grub| Andreas05 [11:52] Andreas05: 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. [11:53] andreas: please provide complete error message like "error cannot find a device fo [11:53] I should also tell that it's not a dual boot. I only have ubuntu installed [11:53] after doing grub-update [11:53] whats this? used sudo apt-get update and on finish i got W: Failed to fetch http://lv.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch [11:53] E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

[11:55] schnux: how this was created? server still dl updates? [11:55] that's what I get after running the command [11:55] andreas: from which environment are you doing update-grub ? [11:55] ubuntu live from usb [11:56] kangaroo: youre using lv - looks like temporary problem. did you wait some time and tried again? [11:56] the NSA knows it all!!!!!!! Google: ' remote neural monitoring' [11:56] I was told that i could access a process's memory using the /prc/[PIC]/mem interface but when i open it in a text editor it's empty. and when i open it with using open() and read() it gives me the following errno error "No such process". Am i missing something here? [11:56] what packages do i need to install so pcsx emulator will run? [11:56] hmm maybe look under /media/ "big long number" /usr/sbin/grub-prob [11:56] Andreas05, Have you tried to chroot and update grub again? [11:57] schnux: i got this error right now.. but i just changed to main ubuntu server and got 3 updates. so while this problem in lv server exist i cant get updates. [11:57] yank: how do I do that? lol [11:57] I am trying to establish an sshfs auto mount between 2 ubuntus.. somehow, I see the directory mounted but I cannot dir in [11:57] andreas: in chroot: mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev [11:57] Which of mii-tool and ethtool is telling the truth here? One says "negotiated 1000baseT-HD"; the other "Speed: 1000Mb/s", "Duplex: Full". Obviously, I'd rather have it full-duplex if possible. I've tried a couple of different cables. Full command output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/470211/ [11:58] Andreas05, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [11:58] andreas: sry, that you'll do _before_ chroot [11:58] schun what is chroot? [11:58] P-Nuts: I'd trust ethtool. [11:59] SwedeMike: by the way, ethtool wasn't installed by default, whereas mii-tool was, why is that? [11:59] andreas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot [11:59] P-Nuts, ethtool starts with "E" therefore more trustworthy. ;) [12:00] P-Nuts: I have no idea, but I do know that 1000BASE-HD is very rare, never seen it in real life. [12:00] P-Nuts: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/mii-tool-ethtool-different-output-better-option-than-either-500025/ says ethtool superseeds miitool [12:01] shnux what is the line I should type to do what you say? [12:01] andreas: mkdir /mnt/chroot; mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev; mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc; chroot /mnt/chroot /bin/bash; update-grub ... [12:02] andreas: sry mistakes, again: [12:02] andreas: mkdir /mnt/chroot; mount -o bind /dev /mnt/chroot/dev; mount -t proc /proc /mnt/chroot/proc; chroot /mnt/chroot /bin/bash; update-grub ... [12:02] SwedeMike: on another computer on the same switch (though it's running Debian Squeeze, not Ubuntu), both ethtool and mii-tool claim full-duplex [12:03] the semicolon mean new lines of commandes, right? [12:03] andreas: customize update-grub how you wanted to use it [12:03] yes [12:03] andreas: semicolons automatically seperate each commandos [12:03] P-Nuts: same hardware? === jcdury is now known as dury [12:04] tried first line. cannot create directory...permission denied [12:04] hi there channel :) === francesco_ is now known as fmarl [12:05] andreas: sudo [12:05] SwedeMike: no, not even the same architecture [12:05] but the same version of mii-tool apparently [12:05] andreas: sudo bevore every command except chroot [12:05] P-Nuts: did you even read the article I pasted to you? [12:05] o [12:06] andreas: or you'll become root for simplicity [12:06] where can i request new language ditionaries to be added to ubuntu? [12:06] K3b doesn't recognise my devices burner...I would appreciate it if someone can drive to setup it properly, please [12:06] ubuntu has no Elvish dictionaries === Amway\A is now known as Amway [12:06] sorry can drive me to setup it up correctly [12:07] SwedeMike: yes, so you think it's just that mii-tool doesn't query certain hardware correctly, and ethtool is more likely to cope? [12:07] dury: are you planning to mention what kind of burner you have? [12:07] smallfoot-, Yes, there are Elvish dictionaries. [12:07] the ubuntu in the VM can't PING network [12:07] P-Nuts: as it states, they seem to work better with different hardware, none of them are perfect and works with everything. [12:07] who can slove it [12:07] YankDownUnder, where?

[12:08] andreas: bevore mount points can be mounted, the directory must exist (mkdir) [12:09] YankDownUnder, i was thinking of dictionaries for myspell or ispell that can be used for like Firefox, Office, etc [12:09] SwedeMike: until now k3b was right.... but I don't know how did disconfigured it [12:09] b43confused, You should be able to - while connected via ethernet - check the Hardware Drivers - and the Broadcom drivers will be found and activated.

[12:10] but i can't use ethernet [12:10] 8.10 [12:10] i have no access [12:11] b43confused: ok, that's understandable, and should work [12:11] mrpinky: $ alsamixer ? /dev/mixer ?

[12:29] Jinxed-, very if you do not own the hardware, why what do you need to make a driver for? [12:29] MauL^, starupmanager [12:31] KrisDouglas, I basically is a device that will do IP over ethernet, but it registers as a composite device I believe something like 4 serial and 1 ethernet [12:31] sorry IP over USB not ethernet [12:31] hello there. i want tu use my WhiteStar II dvb-stick with ubuntu. i run on ubunut 10.04, got the af9015 header for the kernel and got the firmware. still i dont know how to run it exactly [12:31] How can I enable seamless mode in virtualbox [12:32] how can you configure plymouth to use a different theme? [12:32] brijithmac, you need to install the virtual box additions package, usually only works in windows from my experience [12:32] !plymouth [12:32] noone can give me help with the dvb-thingy? [12:32] An_Ony_Moose: its doable.. i just dont recall how/where :) I normally just disable plymouth. [12:32] Jinxed-, I would most likely think that it is nearly impossible without schematics of the device itself. === desti_T2 is now known as desti [12:33] what is a programm i can use to run windows on ubuntu...wine isnt working for me, i heard some talk bout vmware but not sure how to get it [12:34] was there a netbook remix for 9.10? [12:34] computer_: go to the virtualbox homepage and read up on Virtualbox. its easier to use then vmware [12:34] !virtualbox | computer_ [12:34] computer_: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [12:34] thanks [12:34] computer_: wine can run specific windows apps. how well it works.. depends on the app. [12:34] nvm I've found it out [12:35] KrisDouglas: you mean, linux as host machine one can not operate in seamless mode ? [12:36] ok i am installin virtual box package now :) [12:36] thanks dr willis [12:36] how do I check if my burner it's connected rightly in ubuntu? [12:36] once again: i have a dvb-usb stick and want it to run, but can't. whats wrong? [12:37] dustball1: could be it has no linux support. [12:37] Is there any software availeble to run an OS in a vmbox just like you could run linux inside windows? [12:37] well it doesnt have from the start, but with ubuntu or at least kernel 2.6.28 it runs.. or should [12:37] dustball1: You may want to check the forums for its exact brand/make/model and check the MythTV/Mythbuntu forums also [12:37] hmm there should be a special menu in ubuntu for me ... if grub dosnt run it should read "So you have trashed your OS again. Please click here." [12:37] KrisDouglas, are there any tools to take a windows driver and convert it for use in ubuntu? Also if I had access to the schmatics, how difficult would it be [12:37] dustball1: so what have you done to 'use' it so far? [12:37] Hi all, How can I enable seamless mode in virtualbox ? The seamless mode menu seems disabled ... [12:38] its plugged in, i downloaded and installed the af9015-module and copied the firmware to /lib/firmware [12:38] Jinxed-, Even with the schematics i would imagine it would be a real pain, and the only thing i know of with windows drivers is NDIS and im pretty sure that it wouldnt be able to work off of it. [12:39] is it possable to make 5 diffrent types of hard drives show up as one HD in ubuntu ? === emc_ is now known as emc [12:40] jgcampbell300: via raid/lvm yes.

[12:40] campbel: LVM [12:40] jgcampbell300: you mean 5 'different' hard drives showing up as one large filesystem? I cant think of 5 differnt types of hard drives. :) [12:41] cool ... that would be neat to strip all my my storage drives togather [12:41] computer_: you install the guest OS inside virtual box.. its a 'virtual pc' - so you need some sort of OS to install into it. [12:41] ya i mean sizes most are WD [12:41] jgcampbell300: untill one dies.. and you lose data on all them. [12:41] KrisDouglas, so basically the end product of the device is that it is doing IP over usb... there aren't any other device drivers that I might be able to use for it? [12:41] lol ... good point [12:41] jgcampbell300: you could just mount them all to a single 'Data' directory with each drive as a sub dir. [12:41] Hi all, How can I enable seamless mode in virtualbox ? The seamless mode menu seems disabled ... ? [12:42] Jinxed-, if you have googled around for any model numbers displayed on the device, and looked for alternative names, it's not looking promising. [12:42] ya that would work [12:42] brijithmac, i mentioned before, you have to install guest additions [12:42] i was thinking of the speed increase at first tho but loss of data would suck === Guest26360 is now known as tyler82 [12:42] how to connect on LAN in Lubuntu [12:43] other pc has Win Xp [12:43] brijithmac, you can do that through the mount menu if i recall, but as far as I am aware seamless mode is limited to some operating systems, which one are you using? [12:43] oh well just dreaming ... i crashed my grub and getting to sleepy to work on it lol [12:43] !samba | ascent__ [12:43] ascent__: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[12:43] KrisDouglas: and the gust is windows xp [12:44] computer_: games may not work very well in virtualbox.. it depends on the game. [12:44] ugh [12:44] brijithmac, you just need to install guest additions [12:44] hmm does anyone know if adobe master collection will run under wine or would i have to go Vbox [12:44] KrisDouglas: how to do that ?

[12:45] that is using the latest version of wine from their GIT repository [12:45] okay uhm... any good program that is dvb-compatible?

[12:47] KrisDouglas: its says. cannot find some file.. download from Internet [12:47] why don't the window border and the controls stay the way they are when I switch on again [12:47] Dr Wilis how to do that my office pc dont have ssh installed [12:47] but home pc has [12:47] Anyone with upstart knowledge here? With "stop on ((starting rc and runlevel [!2345]) or runlevel [2345])" in foo why does rc no longer start? [12:48] researcher1: then you are proberly out of luck. Unless you installed some other service on the box. [12:48] KrisDouglas:where can I get this VBoxGuestAdditions.iso [12:48] brijithmac, one second, just need to close something [12:48] brijithmac: the virtualbox menus could auto mount it/download the latest last time i tried virtualbox [12:48] KrisDouglas, is there a way to see detected hardware from usb? [12:48] i don't like metacity. compiz looks and acts way better [12:49] lsusb [12:49] lsusb [12:49] .hu [12:49] krisCouglas ok he === tyler is now known as Guest9953 [12:49] brijithmac: virtualbox guest os window menus -> devices -> install guest addations. and it will mount that iso to the guest os. [12:50] linux isnt very gamer friendly :( [12:50] karim__: so use 'compiz --replace' if compiz or metacity crashes you lose your title/decorations. You may want to install the fusion-icon tool. it can restart compiz if compiz crashes. [12:50] computer_: no, game companys arent linux frendly [12:50] lol kisuke [12:50] computer_, because nobody writes modern games for linux at the moment, Steam is soon going to change that, try using wine to run your games though, some of them work quite well [12:50] Dr_Willis:when I clicked the menu it asked me to download the guest addition.iso [12:51] game Companies are often not 'gamer' friendly [12:51] computer_: its true. [12:51] Dr_Willis: that depends on the company. [12:51] brijithmac: it just auto mounted it here for me. Im using the Vbox from the download site. Not the OSE version from the repos [12:51] Dr_Willis:oh I see.. [12:51] a really great free linux RTS game (similar to total annihilation) sudo apt-get install spring-engine [12:51] Dr_Willis:I am using OSE [12:51] brijithmac, yea, Dr_Willis is right, if you download the non open source version from the website, you will probably have more luck, its easy to install [12:51] KrisDouglas, would it be possible to run something that wine or some virtualization tool that would allow me to run my hardware with the windows driver in some virtualization but still get the ip data back to ubuntu? [12:51] i want to play Prince of Persia :p [12:52] Ameth, install "dosbox" [12:52] I've just installed fresh Ubuntu 10.04 LTS but the sound card driver doesn't seem to work.. can someone help me please.. [12:52] did you guys ever figure out that grub problem someone was having earlier ? [12:52] i get my games from -> http://www.playdeb.net/welcome/ [12:53] Jinxed-, yes, possibly, if you install Virtualbox from virtualbox.org, install Windows, you should be able to load the device and use it as if it was on the PC. As for Wine I honestly don't know if it would work. [12:53] another linux game i find way to addictive is Sauerbraten (a very good FPS all things considered) [12:53] how do i edit the boot up grub menu I am using ubuntu 1004 and Kernel 2.6.32-24. I want to edit out 2.6.32-23 & 22. [12:54] and there is also Urban Terror, which makes for some quite good counter-strike style gameplay [12:54] Dan_E i am not certain, but you may be able to use synaptic to uninstall the unwanted kernels, then use update-grub [12:54] !sound | CrackGuy [12:54] CrackGuy: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [12:55] Uninstalling kernels should automatically update grub. [12:55] I didnt get any reply on bt channel [12:56] raj1000, what was the question? [12:56] I did that and didnt update grub so i am left with the menu that needs edited [12:56] How can I get rid of the big fat icons in natulius? That's awfully annoying! The icons take up 10% of the space, even in list view and the text is so large that blind people could read it [12:56] How shuld I configure sound on bt4 [12:56] raj1000: see the BT4 channel. [12:56] !bt4 | raj1000 [12:56] manday, go to appearence settings, and change the fonts to size 8 or 9, it makes it much more readable [12:56] krishna changing nicks wont help you either [12:57] !backtrack | raj1000 [12:57] raj1000: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[13:03] Takeasy: or open up a terminal and try running nautilus and look for error messages [13:03] Dr_Willis: tried, same prob [13:03] will do [13:03] salve [13:03] Firefox mi si avvia solo da root? why?

[13:04] Takeasy: Nautilus is the default file manager in Ubuntu... i doubt if its not installed... [13:04] how do I know if ubuntu OS is available in my native language [13:04] i use xubuntu [13:04] I was wandering, is there a way to actually stop using sudo, kdesudo, gksudo for every single admin task in ubuntu? I tried setting rootpw in sudoers, but for some tasks it continues to ask for user password instead root's one. [13:04] Takeasy: then i have no idea. I dont use xubuntu and i dont know how it handles the desktop icons. try #xubuntu perhaps [13:04] hello guys [13:05] hi [13:05] Dr_Willis: i got it, thx [13:05] had anybody tried qt [13:05] Hedron, sudo -i puts you in a permanent root shell for that session [13:06] Hello!!! [13:06] almost drive me crazy [13:06] Hedron, if you were to launch any apps from that shell they would be running as root, and work as root. [13:06] No, you do not understand, I do not whant to use sudo. At all. I whant to use su. [13:06] gonna see if i can get GUildwars to work with wine, so far its working :) [13:06] I whant to revoke all admin privileges from user [13:06] i use root [13:06] use root [13:07] me too, but whant to [13:07] hi [13:07] stop sudo from appearing in places like kpackagekit [13:07] ah, why not root? [13:07] heeeeeeee [13:07] as I mentoined I set the rootpw in sudoers [13:07] is there any application to make the sound output louder [13:07] Hedron, "su -" does the same thing and puts you in an admin shell, the idea of running in an environment like that is security, you can do "sudo passwd root" and login as root, but you open yourself up to any person being able to do anyting with your pc [13:07] its best to learn to use the 'sudo' system. [13:08] I know, I have enough experience with other linux systems, such as fedora, opensuse [13:08] I lost volume control icon from panel for no reason and it's not in applet selector. WTF? [13:08] I whant to know how to stop sudo from usage [13:08] uninstall it? [13:08] Then in that case, you can login as root by using sudo passwd root [13:08] and then running the system as root [13:09] daedaluz: the one next to the mail is one of those new kind of applet. theres also the old gnome-volume-control-applet you can run [13:09] daedaluz: did you remove that mail icon also? [13:09] ok, tell me this - how using sudo to elevate ordinary user in ubuntu is diferent from run as under windows? [13:09] i installed ubuntu through wubi inside my windows xp;...is there any way to acess my windows xp files while i am in ubuntu? [13:09] I whant to completely disable admin privileges for a user [13:09] !root | Hedron [13:09] Hedron: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:10] I know sudo passwd or sudo su [13:10] Dr_Willis: no it's still there [13:10] ROFL ubottu [13:10] Hedron: theres more to sudo that what most people realize read up on it at --> http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/intro.html [13:10] I have more than 7 years of unix/linux experience :-D [13:10] daedaluz: odd. it may of crashed. [13:10] computer_, ubottu is a bot [13:10] Dr_Willis: I've tried restarting [13:11] yes, but the way it is popping up arround every corner in ubuntu is annoing [13:11] Dr_Willis: any idea what the process is called? [13:11] daedaluz: Hmm. You could reset the panels [13:11] !resetpanel [13:11] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [13:11] newest kernel makes my Ubuntu load forever, it just stays at Ubuntu splashscreen, anyone got this problem too? I rarely can boot without problems on it [13:11] i love the matrix [13:11] and that was so awesome [13:11] and I personally consider it to be major security flaw [13:11] I'm trying to connect to a windows machine via vinagre, and it says verification method is not supported. how come? [13:11] i am gonna put it on my facebook! [13:11] daedaluz: not really. I was just looking for it.. ive never noticed a way to close it or start it.. [13:11] or to say epic fail [13:11] Hedron: Sudo's been argued both ways in the forums.. and basically its how ubuntu works . so thats what this channel 'supports' [13:11] When compiling software, if you have an .sh file (for instance genfslist.sh) does not that file need to be executable? [13:12] lostinspace_46: if its not executable you need to do 'sh whatever.sh' then [13:13] hello guys [13:13] computer_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914358 [13:13] k i will see [13:13] what do you think that s group parttion ? [13:13] well maybe that installed grub back lol [13:13] anyone know why i virtualbox cant see my usb ports ? [13:13] thanks trooper [13:13] in my opinion ,i will use ext4 [13:13] Dr_Willis: I tried resetting, still not there. only network manager, bluetooth and mail visible [13:13] Dr_Willis: volume controls work just fine under pulse, so it shouldn't be related to it [13:13] geoff0110, are you using the one from the repository [13:14] yes KrisDouglas [13:14] i use vritual box too [13:14] geoff0110: virtualbox OSE you cant use USB on guest machines [13:14] daedaluz: Try making a new user. and see if it shows up for them [13:14] how update kadu ?? [13:14] ahhh crap [13:14] still got a blank screen [13:14] Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with GRUB, is this the correct channel to ask? [13:14] Dr_Willis, I got the tarball for the program that allows you to "pretty up" the grub screen, and I am trying to compile it. However, even the configure file isn't executable till I make it so. [13:14] ABBADON: we can always point you to some wiki/docs/guides [13:14] geoff0110, ahh, that done does not have USB support, you need to uninstall it and download the non-open source version from the website at http://virtualbox.org [13:15] geoff0110, it's just a deb file, and it won't delete your virtual machines [13:15] newest kernel makes my Ubuntu load forever, it just stays at Ubuntu splashscreen, anyone got this problem too? I rarely can boot without problems on it [13:15] ok sounds easy enough, apt-get remove virtualbox ? [13:16] thats right geoff0110 [13:16] ok thanks KrisDouglas [13:16] Dr_Willis, Thank you, is there any reason why GRUB would stop at stage 1.5 when using a separate home partition on a USB hard drive? Every time I have it plugged it, GRUB stops. [13:16] tobiasz, please don't repeat yourself, if you are not getting a response, it usually means nobody knows the solution to the problem [13:17] tobiasz, have you tried removing the new kernel with recovery mode and replacing it with the older one [13:17] is there a recovery program for grub ? [13:17] You know, the combination "sudo su" is ridiculous enough, to make me whant to shoot the computer, obviously I will just continue using openSuSE, and I whanted to switch for using aptitude. But whatever. [13:17] KrisDouglas: one last question will apt-get remove delete my .Virtualbox folder ? [13:18] geoff0110, no, when you install the new virtualbox it should read that data, but, i would make a backup copy to be sure [13:19] KrisDouglas I've got the older one, I am just willing to let Ubuntu devs know about that issue === aron is now known as Guest59746 [13:19] ok will do thanks [13:19] Dr_Willis, It does not seem like the program would compile if files that need to be executable, aren't. Or am I missing something? BTW, some of the .sh files are executable and some are not. Might they get changed to executable when configure runs? [13:19] hi all, yesterday I did some resizing of partitions with gparted to give space out of some logical partitions to my main root primary partition. It completed but with some warnings, I can't figure out how serious those warnings are and whether I should recreate some partitions and reinstall Linux.

[13:41] flash keeps crashing on both chrome and ff, any ideas why this could be? [13:42] livingdaylight: did it work before? [13:42] livingdaylight: because flash is rubbish [13:42] livingdaylight, is anything crashing? [13:42] JulioNeto, yes, a lot [13:42] livingdaylight: are you on 32 or 64 bit and yes flash does suck, i realy hope HTML becomes the new standard and we get rid of flash [13:42] livingdaylight, try to use another player... like gnash [13:42] Researcher, it did when I had openjdk. I've removed and replaced with sun-java [13:43] and see what happens livingdaylight [13:43] html 5 has some great new features [13:43] DiploCat: Thank you that appears to have done it [13:43] !flash | livingdaylight [13:43] livingdaylight: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [13:43] ResQue: not supported yet [13:43] where is flashplugin for Chrome found?

Maybe I just need to restart it? [13:44] #exit [13:44] hello. does anyone know a good channel for help wich C programming in linux? I already know about the channel #C.

[13:46] $ killall wine wineserver [13:46] smallfoot-: yes i think you are right, ogg if defo the way farward, but although most players can play whats inside the ogg container they can not understand the container it self, i could be wrong i use VLC these days, and its been a while since i played one so it could be getting better [13:46] I'm getting a load of fake dead pixels, any ideas what could be causing them? [13:46] ResQue, Ogg uses Vorbis for audio and Theora for video [13:46] they appear in screenshots too [13:47] running an NVIDIA card with 173 restricted drivers [13:47] Researcher, VLC supports Ogg. Rhythmbox supports Vorbis audio. [13:47] smallfoot-: i thought you could put any format you like inside a container? [13:47] smallfoot-: what about ipod sony walkman creative zen? [13:48] ResQue, Ogg can contain many formats, but most commonly used is Theora and Vorbis [13:48] fabio: the ipod might support it, you can play ogg audio on the thing i think. its been a long time since i looked into this [13:48] smallfoot-: i see :-D [13:48] i think i am starting to like this "ubuntu" !

[13:48] not my sony walkman [13:48] i would LOVE it if all my games worked :/ [13:49] fabio, iPod, Sony Walkman and Creative Zen supports MP3 but not free file formats, open standards and royalty-free standards such as Ogg, Vorbis, Theora [13:49] cause its FREE!! lol [13:49] sony walkman definitely supports cassette [13:49] ResQue, iPod is done by Apple who are compatibility and interoperability.

[13:54] JulioNeto, though Xorg should auto-detect proper good native resolution [13:54] smallfoot-, the proper native resolution is 800*600... but it is too low and my monitor can 1024*768 pretty well [13:54] !ot | computer_ [13:54] computer_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

For some reason, whenever I have it plugged in, I can't boot the system - it just hangs at GRUB stage 1.5 and I have to hard reset the computer. I did some searching and found that it's possible that GRUB has some sort of naming conflict, so I edited device.map and restarted, but no dice. Is it... [13:59] ...possible GRUB is re-writing device.map during the boot process? [13:59] researcher1: you speak indian ?

[14:12] monkey_dust and singling out Obama gets old ;) [14:12] nevermind - already remembered [14:12] I was upgrading from 8.04 to 9.10.

[14:13] ksbalaji: you could have done 8.04 --> 10.04 being both LTS this upgrade is supported [14:13] ksbalaji, then my advice is to install the newer version, after you backed up important documents [14:13] Anyone know how to add root to a user/group? I'd like to do something with both root and the main admin account without adding the main admin account to "root" group [14:14] monkey_dust_, for any xchat question redirect users to channel #xchat [14:14] Yeah. I was searching for that. But the upgrade app showed only 9.10 to upgrade. [14:14] ksbalaji: I suppose a repair upgrade could be doable, I never faced a power cut. Depending on your partitioning it could ba as "simple" as installing 10.04 directly instead of dealing with a broken upgrade, methinks. [14:14] didn't know that one, abhijit [14:14] hi, I used KleanSweep with sudo rights, only "useless thumbnails" function, and now kde has a problem. Can I fix the whole system from a usb stick somehow? [14:14] econdudeawesome: root does not need to be on any group. and we do not support an enabled root account [14:14] Quiet_guy although it shows up in logs and people here longer than me don't like to give that kind of advice, in xchat "/connect " works fine [14:14] erUSUL so not my question at all [14:15] erUSUL do you support editing fstab? [14:15] econdudeawesome, performing that action as root will produce the same result as performing it from your user account with sudo [14:15] cmpsalvestrini, You sound very reasonable. Unfortunately, I do not have a 10.04 installable dvd. [14:15] econdudeawesome: yes [14:16] econdudeawesome, there's also a gui tool in the system menu that wraps up the fstab editing for you :D [14:16] Can anyone help me with a booting issue? [14:16] cmpsalvestrini, further, all upgrade for 9.10 was already done. The failure occurred only at the fag end. [14:16] mrpinky it doesn't, I've tried. Awsome erUSUL. I am trying to get my partitions to mount in a writable way. Adding "rw" to fstab didn't work, chown gives an operation not allowed error.

[14:26] jrib: a tool to delete unused files, or dead links [14:27] artinstartin: you need to figure out why you can't mount home [14:27] hey guys. anybody know what to do? i had trouble uninstalling the ubuntuzilla thunderbird-build. postremoval-script had an error. fixed the related line in the script, uninstalled it. now, when i install the ubuntu build of thunderbird, its being showed in synaptict as installed, but i cant execute it (file not found) and apt-get in the terminal states, its currently not instaled [14:27] ksbalaji: have you tried the recovery mode? My solution is quite... radical, so to speak, so I'd like to keep it as a last resort in case everything else fails. [14:27] jrib: oh now [14:27] jrib: oh no [14:28] hi, i have compiled the latest kernel with yes '' | make oldconfig, rebooted and then tried to reinstall the ati driver for my HD3300... but i get the following: http://dpaste.org/Uxhw/ [14:28] jrib: i have ubuntu on a usb stick, do you see any chance? [14:28] cmpsalvestrini, what is this recovery mode? I am able to boot the last kernel recovery - not the gui version. but command prompt is offered.

It's 10.04, how am I supposed to change language? [14:29] giaco: System>Admin...>language support [14:29] giaco: enable italian where erusul said and then choose it at the login screen [14:30] jrib: where do i do that, while i run ubuntu? [14:30] artinstartin: where do you do what exactly? [14:30] jrib, well... the reason why i compiled a newer kernel, is that kernel <2.6.35-rc4 has a bug that makes wow in wine act like garbage... [14:30] jrib: where di I mount from? [14:30] cmpsalvestrini, monkey_dust_ I took a grave risk in upgrading without a backup. Even now, ubuntu is alive. but unable to get up and running!

[14:33] giaco: no problem [14:34] ksbalaji: Sounds like in CLI recovery mode it *should* be possible to run apt commands to redo the upgrade, otherwise I'm afraid the only way would be to download the 10.04 ISO and transfer it to an USB stick for a clean installation from the USB stick. I'm sure this is doable with your Knopix installation. [14:34] good afternoon :) [14:34] I have 2 ip's on eth0 and eth0:1 within the same network range, is it possible to set the default gateway to be on the alias interface ? [14:35] I cant seem to get it to work, no matter how I add default it goes out via eth0 not eth0:1 :( [14:36] erUSUL worked like a charm, thanks! [14:37] econdudeawesome: no problem [14:37] cmpsalvestrini, Yes . thanks. I also feel that this can be done. ... And thats why I am here. BUT, ignorant me, I need help.

[14:42] jrib: How ? :) [14:42] sectroyer: either edit /etc/init/gdm.conf and add "never" as a condition or just rename the file to something that doesn't end in .conf [14:43] bazhang, I am worried about my crashed ubuntu upgrade. [14:43] rupeshitpatekar , maybe they are hidden files now, browse to your file with filebrowser, and hit crtl + h , [14:43] ksbalaji, try to fix it then? not sure why you want a knoppix cd here [14:43] ;) [14:43] how do i enable normal 'su' [14:43] instead of sudo [14:44] jrib: In which line should I add it? [14:44] hrhrhr_: sudo -i [14:44] is there anything like yahoo messenger in ubuntu? [14:44] Hi Folks, does anybody know if there's the equivalent of the iPad but with the capacity to run Ubuntu? a sort of Ubuntu Pad tablet? :-) [14:44] sectroyer: the one with the conditions, you can add "and never" [14:44] bazhang, a knoppix livecd I found handy after ubuntu upgrade crashed. I seek help to fix the failed dpkg. [14:44] sectroyer: conditions *for starting* [14:44] mnemon: is there no 'su' in ubuntu? [14:44] start on (filesystem ...) etc? [14:44] hrhrhr_: su comes installed by default, i believe. [14:44] ksbalaji, try #knoppix then [14:44] Lalon: Empathy can use the Y!IM protocol. [14:44] hrhrhr_: of course there's a su.... [14:44] it doesn't seem to accept creds [14:45] @unimatrix9: I tried that command but still wont get my files [14:45] like it's disabled [14:45] hrhrhr_: be more specific [14:45] hrhrhr_: You can do sudo -i, it's the equivalent of su sort of no? :-) [14:45] mnemon, how to use that [14:45] Lalon: start Empathy, add an account, make it a Y!IM account. [14:45] mneptok, i have empathy but u know i can share my pic with my yahoo frnds and they can share their pics [14:45] hrhrhr_: There is no su. [14:45] bazhang, forget about knoppix. Can you help me fix my failed Ubuntu upgrade please? [14:45] !noroot | hrhrhr_ [14:45] hrhrhr_: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [14:45] hrhrhr_: you can't use your own login's password with su, if that's what you're trying to do. [14:45] mnemon, i know its there but u cant share pic there [14:45] mneptok, [14:45] ubottu hrhrhr_: why not use sudo -i ? [14:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:46] Lalon: ? [14:46] ksbalaji, please restate your issue to the channel with as much detail as possible; if someone knows they will undoubtedly assist [14:46] mnemon, not to u sorry [14:46] mnemon: tab-complete fail [14:46] sudo is er [14:46] two extra chars to type [14:46] and im lazy [14:46] hrhrhr_: alias it [14:46] hrhrhr_, easy on the enter key there [14:46] hrhrhr_: goodness :-) What a tough world we live in to type 4 letters instead of 2 [14:46] and also [14:46] I need to make my IP address in my local network static. How can I do that? [14:46] sudo is gay [14:46] so empanthy is only for messeging [14:46] nm [14:46] ksbalaji , use knoppix live cd , but you can use the ubuntu live cd as well, backup all your data to an usb external drive or so , or maybe to an other partition, and do an clean install of ubunut ? [14:46] hrhrhr_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:46] google :P [14:46] hrhrhr_: wow. Stop. [14:46] Enter text here...hiii [14:46] u cant do anytin more there [14:47] Kwpolska: configure it as such in Network Manager ? [14:47] how r u all??

[14:47] Lalon: Empathy does audio and video chat as well, if you have Linux-supported hardware [14:47] jrib: After adding "and never" linux restarts all the time. [14:47] there is no susch a thing [14:48] @unimatrix9: I tried that ctrl+H command but still wont get my files back which are very important for mw [14:48] mneptok, i have linux supported hardware how can i make audio video chat tell me [14:48] Kwpolska: but they are a bit pricey, like $4000 on Dell [14:48] Kwpolska: right click on the NM icon. choose edit connections. choose the right device and choose edit. go to ipv4 tab. choose manual fill the information [14:48] hrhrhr_: No, it isn't, it's been the default for years on Ubuntu and most people are happy with it. [14:48] Lalon: Why not use skype: www.skype.com [14:48] Lalon: if your webcam works in Ubuntu then other IM users should see the option to have a video chat with you [14:48] gafir, can u use yahoo chat in skype? [14:49] i just dont agree with the whole 'all users are nubz so we need to keep them away from root shells' [14:49] hmm, what was the ip... [14:49] hrhrhr_: so do what you want. who cares? [14:49] mneptok, yah i know then what about me , how can i share my pic with my frnds and can accept their photo sharing [14:49] Non-Linux question again... Assuming you were looking for a new 3.5" hard drive, and you were looking at two otherwise-identical drives, which would you prefer and why; 800GB with 64MB cache, or 1TB with 32MB cache? [14:49] ipad clone : http://wetab.mobi/ [14:50] Suddenly all files from my desktop deleted automatically but all folders are as it is but they wont contains files in it....how i can recover those files.......those data is very critical for me.......I also tried ctr+h command [14:50] I ask here because of the channel I frequent, this one seems to have the most technically-minded occupants [14:50] Da_Wrecka, ##hardware for that [14:50] Da_Wrecka, ask in #Ubuntu-offtopic ? [14:50] *channels [14:50] Oh, good point [14:50] Lalon: i have no idea. i have never used the official Y!IM client and do not share photos. if i want someone to see a picture, i use the web. that's what the web is for. [14:50] While upgrading from 8.04 to 9.10 (which was the only upgrade offered by the upgrade tool - when trying to upgrade to 10.04) powercut spoilt upgrade at the fag end.

[14:50] sipior: i thought for a moment i might not be the only person who came from slack [14:50] * Da_Wrecka is stoopid, durrrr [14:50] and an answer would leap out at me [14:50] clearly], this was foolish [14:51] hrhrhr_: if you can't figure out how to enable su, do you *really* think you should have unmitigated access to a root shell? [14:51] mneptok, yeah u know .. but u know security issue is there when u put ur pic to web [14:51] i installed mintbackuptool and now i cant acces to gnome.console mode says i am using mint(false),and gnome too(safe mode) [14:51] hrhrhr_: the answer is "sudo -i" and if you don't like the extra characters make an alias for it. [14:51] yes [14:51] I was told that i could access a process's memory using the /prc/[PIC]/mem interface but when i open it in a text editor it's empty. and when i open it with using open() and read() it gives me the following errno error "No such process". Am i missing something here?

I have 3 partitions / /home /swap [15:35] aeon-ltd, I love to use it.. [15:36] philinux: one other person I was chating with in here had an upgrade malfunction on account of his power failed, now he's recovering stuff. I fear that he's going to have to do a clean install tho. [15:37] cmpsalvestrini: I do a clean install with each new release. With home on it's own partition it's very easy [15:37] philinux, not that easy to do clean install, at this second i mean anyway [15:37] AdvoWork: well just make sure you backup important stuff [15:38] AdvoWork: is this machine just ubuntu or dual boot? [15:39] philinux: you are wise my friend.

I am building a computer, and I have a nice MB to support the AMD Phenom II... it runs fine, but it says the chipset temperature is 127C.... I know that can't be right.. but it keeps restarting [15:53] anyone have any ideas... [15:53] ive tried a bunch of stuff with lm-sensors... [15:53] i've used mplayer media player, but by installing mplayer i only get the video everytime i click on a vid? i don't get the player interface etc. [15:53] TTGRULES, i think ur machine is becoming hot [15:53] TTGRULES: why can't it be right? [15:53] because, [15:53] TTGRULES, put extra cooling fan in ur cput box [15:53] TTGRULES: did you attach the CPU heatsink and fan? ;) [15:53] BIGB where u at? [15:53] I pointed an extra fan straight at it.. [15:54] mneptok: i was going to ask... :-) [15:54] here [15:54] and it only went down to 109C [15:54] okay i see u [15:54] there is no contact between your cooler and the chip [15:54] if I go off the hypothesis that it is reporting in ferenheight..... [15:54] and convert it to celsius.. [15:54] <_UsUrPeR_> hey all. thought I would point out something that may apply to ubuntu developers. I have downloaded and re-downloaded the ubuntu alternative 64-bit installation cd 3 times now, and there appears to be a problem with the kernel during installation. The errors I am seeing in the installation log have been recorded here: http://pastebin.com/usdjXmDB [15:54] its around 50C === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [15:54] look in your system bios for the tempertures [15:55] TTGRULES, too hot [15:55] the sys bios doesn't give a chipset temp.. [15:55] it has a northbridge and a southbridge... [15:55] and I can't tell which one it thinks is 127C [15:55] TTGRULES, then try to put a air cooler inside ur machine [15:55] :D [15:55] <_UsUrPeR_> if I could get some help with this, I would appreciate it. I am going to do an MD5sum on the .iso, but when I check the CD to ensure that it is correct, it says the CD has no problems [15:55] TTGRULES: it's possible that the heatsink is not properly secured to the CPU, or that there is not enough goo between them. [15:55] TTGRULES: you should ask in #hardware, or contact the mobo manufacturer. this is not an Ubuntu issue. [15:55] I did.. it went down to 109C [15:56] It looks like it reads the sensor as ferenheight.. or just reads it wrong... [15:56] its cool to the touch.. [15:56] hi how do I disable the password prompt (to unlock keyring) whenever i connect to my wireless network (wpa psk)? [15:56] but the computer doesn't say so... [15:57] TTGRULES: and... 109C is *way* hot, that's the boiling point of water. It's more likely that it's reporting in Fahrenheit === MDVz0r is now known as mdvz0r [15:57] yeah.... [15:57] is there any way I can edit the shutdown temp [15:57] but ubuntu does not reboot your system when lm_sesnors detect high temps [15:57] hi how do I disable the password prompt (to unlock keyring) whenever i connect to my wireless network (wpa psk)? [15:57] then how does it get the temp [15:57] the log says... critical system temperature reached 127C... shutting down [15:58] TTGRULES, where u from [15:58] i might be an acpi event thats initiated by your system bios [15:58] is there a way I can set the shutdown temp to be higher? [15:59] ok... im kind of new to this.. but whats acpi?

[16:02] Pici, lets see if it works, and is able to send to my external email addresses "D [16:02] TTGRULES: Probably tweaking on lm-sensors config file? I've never encountered any problems. [16:02] why would it shut down? [16:03] and is it normal for a chipset to run at over 100C? [16:04] if I convert 109 from ferenheight to celsius its around 42 degrees.. is that a better estimate? [16:04] i found it: http://www.eteanga.ie/solution-to-ubuntu-904-enter-password-for-default-keyring-to-unlock/ [16:04] hola [16:04] q tal? [16:04] TTGRULES, i think you should check the bios [16:04] <_UsUrPeR_> TTGRULES: It is not normal for a computer to operate above 100C, and I believe that your PC is being measured in celcius [16:04] algun español? [16:04] por aqui? [16:05] <_UsUrPeR_> because 149 Ferenheit is a nice nominal temp [16:05] !es | aronaliaga [16:05] aronaliaga: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I downloaded java jdk, I need it for netbeans. [16:05] <_UsUrPeR_> TTGRULES: emergency shutdown parameters pertaining to temp are located in your BIOS [16:05] <_UsUrPeR_> TTGRULES: however, if your PC is operating at a temp which shuts it down, there are larger issues for you to mitigate. [16:06] does anyone know why my computer would say that the chipset is running at a temperature higher than the boiling point of water and ubuntu is shutting down.. when I can touch the passive heatsync and its mildly warm????? [16:06] Solow-laptop: botj sun java and open jdk are in repositories [16:06] both* [16:06] the ubuntu sensors.... [16:06] not the bios [16:06] Can anybody tell me where I can see the actual key NX server is looking for? [16:06] the bios doesn't show a chipset temp monitor...

If it is not, when is the last time you opened it up and cleaned out the dust? [16:10] Why does the Ubuntu download page say 64-bit is not recommended for daily desktop usage? [16:11] cutiyar, maybe the dvd is encrypted, but there is a solution https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multimedia see the dvd part [16:11] 64-bit OS's are generally more efficient than 32-bit, unless you're kinda memory tight (<2GB).

[16:41] wrong channel [16:41] cutiyar: okay, we're going to try to mount the cdrom drive manually. If that works then we can set it up to do so automatically. run: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom === dubz is now known as dRuMz === dRuMz is now known as dubz === dubz is now known as dRuMz [16:41] i see an ubuntu minimal desktop? [16:42] is that what i want or the server version? [16:42] Looooooot of people stay in #ubuntu--how many are action I wonder? [16:42] picard1421, ok? [16:42] picard1421: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:42] Pici, ok? [16:42] KK thanks.. also one more question.. what are the main differences between Gnome and KDE? [16:42] like Ubuntu vs Kubuntu? [16:43] no suggestions on troubleshooting the window manager? [16:43] like ubuntu VS backtrack ? [16:43] [16:43] how to mount Shared Folder ? [16:43] cutiyar: Then run sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom [16:43] picard1421: google gnome vs kde you will get a lot of hits [16:43] picard1421: they are two completely different desktop enviroments, they use different programs, KDE uses QT4, GNOME uses GTK [16:44] hey all [16:44] what is better for which? [16:44] !mount | Amway [16:44] Amway: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [16:44] i assume they both support Wine.. which will have more programs and whatnot? [16:44] sipior: when i restarted, it was gone, so thanks for the help [16:44] picard1421: it's a matter of preference, blue vs red [16:44] pici. http://pastebin.com/hChki3VW [16:44] travis2: glad it's finally working for you [16:44] picard1421: thought you wanted a minimal install [16:44] this is for another PC [16:44] ah [16:44] pici,sorryyyyyyyyyyy [16:45] picard1421: preference yes they both achieve the same thing [16:45] how do i create a shortcut to genome terminal that opens in a specific folder...more importantly i have an app that id i create a shortcut to the binary it says "please change to the directory before running) [16:45] Fuck you motherfuckers [16:45] Fuck you motherfuckers [16:45] ahh kk [16:45] picard1421: you can install all programs on both, they just come with different from the begining [16:45] cutiyar: Don't type 'run.' [16:46] yea im not sure i was thinking EIther going Ubuntu 10.4 or trying to setup a Gnome enviornment in Arch Linux.. still deciding which to do [16:46] Pici, http://pastebin.com/bTnPRxEx [16:46] picard1421: is this a modern machine [16:47] yes.. [16:47] no worries then [16:47] well its more for testing.. for a company [16:47] picard1421: try them both [16:47] picard1421: that's up to you, i don't use arch anymore, i am giving ubuntu a swing right now, otherwise i use gentoo. if you want "optimizations" then go for gentoo. [16:47] cutiyar: Is your cd/dvd in your drive right now? [16:47] its a $15,000 machine they are letting me play with before they actually use it i get it for a month [16:47] picard1421: if not go for ubuntu, if you want nothing installed from the begining use the mini iso [16:47] Pici, yup [16:48] yea ubuntu seems to have support and really good architecture ... im just comming over from Unix.. so... it seems wayyy more fun to say the least [16:48] picard1421 which are you coming from? Windows or Mac? [16:48] Unix [16:49] picard1421: you can always reinstall linux if you don't like it [16:49] well i have BOth Windows and Mac at my house.. [16:49] anybody knows when nvidia 256.35 drivers will be avaiable in "hardware drivers"? [16:49] my house is just run off a VM server cloud.. [16:49] i have 1 medium sized server [16:49] and [16:49] 4 "home made" thin clients built into a monitor (rip off Imac's) [16:49] cutiyar: Could you please open then close your cdrom drive and then pastebin the result of: dmesg ? [16:49] !enter [16:49] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:50] picard1421 then my opinion will not matter :-D but for me, as a techie, and my wife, as a nontechie, Ubuntu has been great. I really like Lubuntu remix--looks okay, very light impact [16:50] and then i just install whatever i feel like.. wether it be mac, windows, unix, w.e. it is ... [16:50] picard1421: go for ubuntu (mini iso or not) or gentoo if you want "optimizations" [16:51] picard1421: gentoo is more unix-ish [16:51] Could you please open then close your cdrom drive and then pastebin the result of: dmesg ? [16:51] picard1421 so it really just matters what you got for ya. If you enjoy playing with linux in general, maybe fedora or debian is up your alley [16:51] the only thing i guess.. i know they have "wine"... how realisitic is that... my work needs me to use Outlook (idk why).. i wanted to use Zimbra.. but they insist on outlook clients.. (i know you can hook em up.. but still) is wine really useable? [16:51] picard1421 you can check out winehq for compatibility. I've found that to be an accurate source of info [16:51] !wine | picard1421 [16:51] picard1421: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [16:51] hmm i might have to check out gentoo for a transistion os then.. thanks adamkex [16:52] picard1421: i don't know how well outlook is supported, if you really need it and doesn't worh then google for crossover office [16:52] Pici, http://pastebin.com/1Av5S4He [16:52] picard1421: work* [16:52] is there away to get gnome on Karamic Server [16:52] <_johnny> hi, i'm trying to compile the following: http://pastebin.com/Mwg0TG78 but i get "roundup.c:(.text+0xd): undefined reference to `lrint'", only when i compile it in ubuntu. anyone have an idea as to why? my compile string is: gcc -o roundup roundup.c [16:52] hi is there a packet tinyos-2.1.0 in ubuntu? [16:52] docmur: try installing ubuntu-desktop [16:52] it's complainnig about not letting me install gnome-vfs [16:52] docmur sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop would do it [16:52] Hi, I wonder when I sit in airports / cafe and the like. In Windows is set to "public places", and thus that this is not "trusted" connection. The opposite of the "home network" that is "trusted" in Windows. Is there a setting on this in ubuntu? (When you connect to wireless networks). === bgs000 is now known as bgs100 [16:53] docmur: don't use apt-get, use aptitude instead [16:53] is crossover better than Wine? [16:53] adamkex what is the difference with that? [16:53] cutiyar: This is a USB cdrom drive? [16:53] why cant the following command work? gksu nautilus --no-desktop / [16:53] hi is there a packet tinyos-2.1.0 in ubuntu? [16:53] pici, what? [16:53] econdudeawesome: as far as i have understood aptitude supports dependancies better [16:53] how can I specify boot parameters to the installer on a standard desktop install disk? do I need the alternate disk? [16:54] cutiyar: Does this drive connect to your computer with a USB cable? [16:54] adamkex I thought apt-get is a branch of aptitude, and uses the same code? [16:54] pici, yes with my ipod [16:54] adamkex or at lease the same thing... [16:54] aptitude will actually tell you why something's uninstallable due to dependency problems, whereas apt-get will just spit out basic, useless, information and give up. [16:54] If you don't have dependency problems, they're pretty much the same. [16:54] econdudeawesome: it's not the same thing, it's a different frontend to dpkg [16:54] is there a packet tinyos-2.1.0 in ubuntu? [16:55] (on the command-line, anyway) [16:55] adamkex ah [16:55] <_johnny> some c programmer please? [16:55] econdudeawesome: listen to rww [16:55] wrong chan;) [16:55] geri: no, and considering that tinyos looks to be an OS, that's not really surprising [16:55] _johnny: C support is in ##C, you'll need to register to join there. [16:55] !register > _johnny [16:55] _johnny, please see my private message [16:55] <_johnny> geri: no, it's only an ubuntu issue [16:55] rww, but there is a package in debian [16:55] how that comes? [16:55] geri: named "tinyos"? no there isn't [16:55] yes [16:55] geri: no: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tinyos [16:56] rww, http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Installing_TinyOS_2.1 [16:56] its metioned here [16:56] _johnny, try in #c [16:56] rww but I like my basic, useless info ;-) What is the aptitude equivalent command for apt-get update && apt-get upgrade> [16:56] econdudeawesome: aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade [16:56] <_johnny> ok, thanks [16:56] you can use upgrade too, but it's deprecated [16:56] econdudeawesome: aptitude searches, apt-get doesn't [16:56] cutiyar: Please try: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdd /media/cdrom [16:56] rwww and for apt-get dist-upgrade? [16:56] geri: no, that's a repository for Debian. It's not part of debian [16:56] adamkex: Thats what apt-cache is for. [16:56] econdudeawesome, you can use dist-upgrade, thats better [16:56] is mini ubuntu a 2.4 kernel or 2.6? [16:57] Pici: i know [16:57] econdudeawesome: full-upgrade or dist-upgrade, second is deprecated [16:57] rww, ?? [16:57] rww, they do: sudo apt-get install tinyos-2.1.0 [16:57] or ubuntu 10.4 in general 2.4 kernel or 2.6 [16:57] rww I'm unfamiliar with the term: deprecacted? [16:57] econdudeawesome: not used, old [16:57] picard1421, 2.6 [16:57] Pici, http://pastebin.com/BduUgX6C [16:57] kk thnks [16:57] !mini | picard1421 [16:57] picard1421: 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 [16:57] econdudeawesome: steam engines are deprecated [16:57] econdudeawesome: Deprecated means that it's still supported, but recommended that you use another way because it may be removed in the future. [16:57] s/supported/available/ [16:58] cutiyar: Then your disc is already mounted in the location mentioned. === MK-Ubuntu is now known as MK|BNC [16:58] cutiyar: It should show up as 'New Volume' [16:58] adamkex steam engines have made leaps and bounds in recent years as people look to move off oil :-D [16:58] i am trying to install ubuntu from usb drive, while installing i got an error that "Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO". What shall i do? [16:58] econdudeawesome: hehehe, you know what i mean ;) [16:58] Pici, its my ipod [16:58] which is the ubuntu firewall? [16:58] geri: They also add a new repository in the first step. [16:58] ubottu: ufw | cablop [16:58] cablop: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [16:59] !unetbootin | phanindra [16:59] phanindra: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:59] rww is full-upgrade not recommended, as it may install packages with broken dependencies?> [16:59] thanks rww [16:59] cutiyar: Please try: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdc /media/cdrom [16:59] hola [16:59] alguien me ayuda? [16:59] pici , i will remove my ipod and i will try [16:59] es una duda q tengo [16:59] !es | adamkex [16:59] adamkex: 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. [17:00] adamkex: sorry, mistab. [17:00] Touchpad: I switch from a touchpad: FN + F10. My question: Can I use FN + F10 at startup applications preferences to set that next time I re-type FN + 10? If so, what name or command? [17:00] when i set the properties on gnome-panel to be solid color and max transparent, why doesn't the region behind "Application-Places-System" go transparent as well? [17:00] pici i need to download it manually? [17:00] econdudeawesome: 'full-upgrade' and 'dist-upgrade' do the same thing. [17:00] econdudeawesome: it does the same as apt-get dist-upgrade. It may remove packages to satisfy dependencies, and is thus more likely to cause problems. Neither safe-upgrade nor full-upgrade (or their apt-get equivalents) will install packages with unsatisfiable dependencies, though aptitude's output is more informative. [17:01] rww i see [17:01] anyone know how to setup a proxy to tunnel all local traffic in and out of specific ports on and ubuntu server? (hope that makes sense === arcade_ is now known as arcade [17:01] Pici, no medium found [17:01] Pici if so, then why waste the programmers time with both? ;-) [17:01] how do i create a shortcut to genome terminal that opens in a specific folder...more importantly i have an app that id i create a shortcut to the binary it says "please change to the directory before running) [17:02] econdudeawesome: I don't know the rationale behind renaming that argument. [17:02] geri: No, just follow the directions there. It sounds like you skipped the first few steps. [17:02] cutiyar: And you have a cd or dvd in that drive? [17:02] Pici, yes [17:03] Pici, i tired u so much iam so sorry but i have to [17:03] Pici: because dist-upgrade is confusing, as comes up in here occasionally (since it's not actually used for Distribution Upgrades sometimes) [17:03] Pici, to fix it [17:03] (or at all in Ubuntu) [17:05] does anyone know how to get the kindle reader for Linux? [17:05] how good is ati driver (open and closed) these days in comparison to the closed nvidia drivers? [17:05] whats the latest version of ubuntu? is it hardy ? [17:05] hello friends [17:05] 10.04 lucid lynx [17:05] geri: lucid [17:05] oh [17:05] geri: its goes by 'date' 2010. 4th month. :) [17:05] !hardy [17:05] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu.

[17:06] i am not up to date;) [17:06] abhijit: the ubuntu-desktop package you mean? that wont remove anything.. [17:06] Dr_Willis, yes [17:06] abhijit: its just a meta-package. Why are you doing this anyway? [17:06] abhijit: what are you trying to do¿ [17:07] abhijit, your gnome application settings and stuff [17:07] more like, what do you want to do¿ [17:07] Dr_Willis, xangua my firefox started to run veryyyyyyyyyy slow and also all my mouse icons are messed up since i removed kubuntu-desktop. so i want to restore all that [17:07] arvind_khadri, ^^ [17:07] Hi. I have a server pc with no GUI, which had a working internet connection yesterday but today it doesn't work. Can you help me fix it? It uses DHCP. [17:08] abhijit: that would have nothing to do with *-desktop packages i imagine [17:08] Help, the terminal allows me to do "sudo nautilus --no-desktop" but not "gksu"!! [17:08] Dr_Willis, i want clean desktop actually [17:08] abhijit: make a new user. see if its slow for them. If its NOT.. then you just showed its a user setting/plugin thats the issue [17:08] StefanMonov: type "dhclient eth0" in the server [17:08] Dr_Willis, ok [17:09] or a lot of plugins in firefox case [17:09] abhijit: clean 'user settings' ? if so remove the users setting dirs.. nothing at all will be removed from the USERS settings if you remove the variouys packages [17:09] AnxiousNut: does gksudo work? [17:09] adamkex: I did. it's also in /etc/rc.local. doesn't help [17:09] Hi everyone. I sense I might have a swollen kcore. Can someone help me diagnose it? [17:09] StefanMonov: check the cable [17:09] Dr_Willis, how to remove all my desktop user settings in order to get new clean settings? [17:09] abhijit: this isent windows. :) programs dont normally 'remove' their settings. and definatly dont touch settings in the users homes. [17:09] xangua, ok [17:09] subsume: a swollen kcore? did you hit with something? [17:09] abhijit: delete whatever dirs/files teh settings are in, in the users home dir. [17:09] Maybe [17:10] its 750MB [17:10] Dr_Willis, yah ok [17:10] seems exorbidant [17:10] sipior, yes it works but not with the nautilus command: gksudo -q nautilus --no-desktop doesnt work [17:10] adamkex: double checked, plugged and blinking [17:10] StefanMonov: do you get an error message? [17:10] abhijit: do you mean you want a default ubuntu desktop [17:10] hey guys [17:10] sipior, but it works without the --no-desktop option [17:10] I ve messed up my eclipse installation [17:10] adamkex: no. I just can't ping anything (not even by IP address) [17:10] subsume: kcore isn't acutally a file. looks about right to me. [17:11] you have any idea how to fix it [17:11] righton [17:11] ? [17:11] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter [17:11] I will remove it then [17:11] philinux, may be. i want my firefox and mouse icons things to be as that of when they were i installed first time lucid on my pc [17:11] subsume: no, don't do that. [17:11] adamkex: well, I haven't looked for an error msg in dmesg or anything [17:11] its done [17:11] subsume: do you understand what kcore is? [17:11] adamkex: but dhclient doesn't give an error [17:11] yeah its not really a file so I can delete it [17:11] hi [17:11] StefanMonov: can you ping your router? [17:11] i am unable to delete a folder . i even used rm -rf but wasnt successful. moreover it is saying Input/output error [17:11] abhijit: then use the default theme [17:11] guys? [17:11] If you dont know what 'kcore' is - well.. you proberly should be leaving it alond. [17:11] n00b_, remove knife from HD [17:12] any help with messed up eclipse installation [17:12] n00b_: add sudo infront of your command [17:12] subsume: you notice that it didn't save you any space, right?

[17:12] philinux, all that mouse theme is just messed up after removing kde. i cant just change mouse icons :( [17:12] sipior, heh I was joking.

[17:12] subsume: i guess that's better than stupid :-) [17:12] hello [17:12] abhijit: is this ubuntu and gnome [17:12] not in some courts [17:13] philinux, yes [17:13] ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:15] abhijit: see the link I gave [17:15] philinux, yes sure [17:15] adamkex: yesterday it was certainly the correct device, and no one has touched the pc since then. I don't know if it can automatically change its number silently though.

[17:17] philinux, ok. my all imp data in /home [17:17] StefanMonov: you're welcome, sorry that i could not help [17:17] arvind_khadri, I think make uninstall says something about not being available in the current tre [17:17] e [17:17] i tried fsck but it didnt work. i also tried e2fsck -b 8193 but it regularly says the same message [17:18] philinux, brb [17:18] to try e2fsck -b 8193 [17:18] n00b_: i hope you got some backups [17:18] MitsuoDeshoDesho, oh ok, read the documentation first, also try asking in #gcc once. [17:18] I have a rather serious problem: in one of my two ubuntu installs on my laptop, the one I use, the network manager icon ALWAYS says "networking disabled". period, no matter how much I restart NM. any idea what could cause this? [17:18] n00b_: what filesystem is the data on? ext2/3/4? [17:18] arvind_khadri, I will. [17:19] n00b_, an I/O error may indicate a failing drive. In a terminal type "dmesg" and see if your kernel is see lots of I/O errors. Best of luck, and i agree with Dr_Willis backup statement above. [17:20] n00b_: make that "dmesg | tail" [17:20] i bought myself a wireless mouse (Microsoft) but sometimes it crashes (as in stops working). What could be the problem? [17:20] blendmaster1024, right click on network icon, "enable networking" ? [17:20] ZykoticK9: theres some 'tools' that may help you in recovering the data from the partition. but it will take some work. and is not guarenteed [17:20] krambiorix, bluetooth or rf? [17:20] ZykoticK9: I didn't know you could do that ... I thought something in /etc was shut off :P [17:20] Dr_Willis, i think you mean n00b_ ;) [17:21] Dr_Willis: i dnt knw the file sys . it is saying folder(inode/dir) [17:21] ZykoticK9: yep, looks like it. [17:21] zykotick9 | hey [17:21] ZykoticK9: thanks, rebooting back to the good install now [17:21] racerd, hey? [17:21] blendmaster1024_, glad to help ;) [17:21] n00b_: the fsck command should of mentioned it.. you are not trying to use fsck.ext3 on a ntfs or vfat partition are you? [17:21] n00b_: or check 'sudo fdisk -l' output. [17:21] n00b_: how to remove completely eclipse from ubuntu ? [17:21] Micheal`, i guess rf, it comes with a usb receiver... [17:21] how do i create a shortcut to genome terminal that opens in a specific folder...more importantly i have an app that id i create a shortcut to the binary it says "please change to the directory before running) [17:22] I suppose if I remove all files and then reinstall it [17:22] it should work right? [17:22] Does anyone know where elinks saves downloaded files to by default? [17:22] zykotick9 | I am about intstall windows on another drive. It is grub i want to install after that right? [17:22] madmax_x: i think 'gnome-terminal' can take command line options for that. [17:22] econdudeawesome, ~/Downloads [17:22] what script is called on wake from hibernation? I would like to issue some commands on resume from hibernation [17:22] madmax_x I checked there, but saw nothing... [17:22] racerd, grub1 is the older grub, what version of Ubuntu are you using (was it updated between versions?)? [17:23] madmax_x where would the config file be? [17:23] Dr_Willis, i tried gnome-terminal "MYPATH" didnt work [17:23] madmax_x: check gnome-terminal --help for options [17:23] zykotick9, 10.04 [17:23] hi, can any one suggest a wireless head set that will work for ubuntu? [17:23] Dr_Willis, duh sorry [17:23] madmax_x: xterm and others can use a -c option. but i dont see that in gnome-terminal [17:23] mrjbg: sudo apt-get remove [17:23] racerd, well so long as that wasn't upgraded from previous versions - then you are probably using grub2 [17:24] krambiorix, all logi stuff i use works without an issue. alot of microsoft stuff used to be logi chips... is there any other info that might help? [17:24] lol [17:24] n00b_: I know this one [17:24] zykotick9, isn't there a way to check the version? [17:24] n00b_: i need to completely remove everything that has to do with eclipse [17:24] madmax_x: its the -e option.. 'gnome-terminal -e cd /' [17:24] mrjbg: it would be better u delete alll the files from synaptic [17:25] Micheal`, well, it after booting it works but suddenly it stops working [17:25] mrjbg: check the purge option of apt-get or aptitude or "remove completely" in synaptic. [17:25] Hmm. -e seems briken [17:25] mrjbg: it will help you [17:25] racerd, restart and see what version # is shown on the grub screen, FYI 1.7 = 2 ;) [17:25] Does anyone know where elinks saves downloaded files to by default? [17:25] hello everybody! how is it called the "tool" in the right side of the upper bar where you can shutdown, change user etc? [17:25] does anybody on here use vuze?

Sometimes it works again when i plug out and plugin the receiver [17:27] i am still unable to find the filesystem [17:27] djudldin: right click on the panel > Add to panel > select indicator applet session [17:27] can anyone tell me what the difference between linux-headers-2.6.32-21 and linux-headers-2.6.32.21-generic is? I'm currently running -generic if I cat /proc/version [17:27] krambiorix, next time rty turning just the mouse off and then back on or pull the battery and put it back in [17:28] FIXED [17:28] :) [17:28] IdleOne : thanks! [17:28] im having an issue with vuze, i configure my firewall for port forwarding for vuze, and did the nat/firewall on vuze and it passed that, and did the upload and download speed test succesful but when i go to do a search i just get the circle and no results [17:28] THANKS! [17:28] :) [17:28] Micheal`, i tried, doesn't work :s [17:29] now i moved the receiver in another usb port and it works again, but for how long... [17:29] krambiorix, do you have alot of other wireless items around? [17:29] i am still unable to find the filesystem [17:30] Micheal`, none, but my mobile is here and my printer works on bluetooth [17:30] Can you recommend me something to record my screen and outputs it in an .AVI file? [17:31] what's the easiest way to accept mail from my mail client and deliver it directly to the recipient without the need for an smtp server provided by someone else? [17:32] ubottu: postfix | caution [17:32] caution: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [17:32] It's what I use, and is the default Ubuntu MTA, anyway. [17:32] thanks [17:34] zykotick9 | hey i have a silent boot [17:34] hi all, is there a utility that will show me the MD5 hash of a file? [17:34] or checksum, or whatever it is [17:35] caution: you'll probably want to ensure that your ISP allows for proper reverse-dns lookups of your address, or you'll find that most of your mail does not make it to its destination. [17:35] !md5 [17:35] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [17:35] warz: the md5 command.. [17:35] md5sum* [17:35] sipior: what do you mean by proper? [17:35] thanks [17:35] caution: easier just to set up postfix to use your ISP's smtp as a relay. [17:36] caution: i mean "it works" :-) [17:36] Hi! i'm new to ubuntu, so be kind =P is there a linux program equivalent with frostwire and limewire? [17:36] Gnutella [17:37] !frostwire | willeb [17:37] willeb: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.

[17:37] napsy: other then disabling Plymouth you mean? :) [17:37] yes, ofcurse [17:38] caution: most places will happily hand out ip addresses, but will not maintain a reverse-lookup table, mapping ip addresses to hostnames. most smtp servers are configured not to accept mail from machines whose names don't match their addresses. [17:38] I found it easier to just disable it. :) but im on nvidia [17:38] racerd, ok then new test of grub version ;) If you can hold down the shift key as computer starts and get grub then you have Grub2 [17:38] most? [17:38] I didn't know that [17:39] caution: standard anti-spammer protocol [17:39] are you talking about when the host name is used in the HELO though? [17:39] caution: yep [17:39] I'm pretty sure you're wrong if not [17:39] hello [17:39] philinux, Dr_Willis, xangua thanks :) [17:39] so the solution is not to use an invalid host name in the HELO [17:40] abhijit: nice one [17:40] caution: right, the question of how that validity is established brings us back to the reverse-dns query.

[18:01] If i use the create a startup disk feature to make a bootable usb drive, will my settings save back to that drive when i change things? [18:01] racerd, I sent it a little earlier, I think it's "linux-image" (just make sure you leave at least the one you want to still use) [18:02] racethesunlive: If you set the persistant option, yes.

[18:05] preecher, the update just updates the list of packages, the "upgrade" is what pulls the updates down. [18:05] preecher: the second command, apt-get upgrade, does the actual upgrading [18:05] preecher: apt-get update updates the list of available packages now you need to sudo apt-get upgrade [18:05] bye [18:05] when i try to install ubuntu, it stops on this last entry while loading....[0.708248] [] kernel_thread_helper +0x7/0x10 [18:05] do i need to do the upgrade even if i using 10.4 already [18:06] how do you put a timed wait in a shell script [18:06] sleep X [18:06] thanks [18:06] preecher: sudo apt-get upgrade (upgrades the packages and not the entire OS) [18:06] x = ms [18:06] ?

[18:30] hello [18:30] I havd this problem about 6moths ago, and just gacve up [18:31] ActionParsnip: I have that already and it still opens and automatically redirects me into the browser window :\ [18:31] cannonball, ok when you run the live cd choose the "Check cd" option [18:31] cannonballs: Nice nick :-) [18:31] haha thanks this is my mmo nick I've used for years [18:31] cannonballs, use the check cd option from the live cd to be sure the cd itself is not corrupted [18:31] cannonballs: when you boot the cd, press space then select check cd for defects as coz_ suggests [18:32] -->ActionParsnip I dont know [18:32] O_o! why did i have a server kernel?? [18:32] cannonballs: I just gave you the method. The cd you burned sounds bad. [18:32] I'm having trouble with java [18:33] can anybody help me? [18:33] Micheal`: you install the server release or installed the kernel manually [18:33] cannonballs, when burning an image you might want to burn it at 1x or the slowest possible speed on the application you use [18:33] !ask | strangeseraph [18:33] strangeseraph: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:33] !details | strangeseraph [18:33] strangeseraph: 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 ..." [18:33] ok I'll do the hit spacebar thing during install and see [18:34] cannonballs, this will help in getting a good burn...also ...if you want " less to burn" therefore less to corrupt...download the minimal install cd and go from there [18:34] cannonballs: also md5 testing the iso will tell you if the file you have downloaded is complete and consistant [18:34] ^^ [18:34] ActionParsnip, it is very much a desktop release. and maybe it is from when i was playing with xen.... [18:35] All right. I have a chat room that I regularly visit which is on a custom in browser java chat window. It can be found here (but you have to be logged in to see it). http://forums.romancedivas.com/index.php?app=chat Its normally worked fine, but today its not displaying the custom commands and buttons correctly, and I am unable to connect fully to the chatroom [18:35] ActionParsnip, cannonballs just left, but if he returns, another thing that causes that is a CD drive that is recognized by the BIOS, but not the drivers on the livecd. [18:35] this happened after an update of my computer and I'm really not sure which updates could have caused it. === kjelle_ is now known as sjefskode [18:35] Hi everyone, is there anyway to changa from the netbook version of ubuntu to the desktop version? [18:35] Micheal`: you could make the steps to remove the kernel/s then see what else will need to be remove (the deps). You can cancel the removal after reviewing the list by pressing n [18:35] Hi everyone [18:36] ActionParsnip, ty [18:36] courtni, they're basically the same except a few user interfaces, I think. [18:36] sjm: I'm shooting for bad cd as so many people are ignorant of md5 and cd checking === NiCeWoLf is now known as NiCeWoLf|away [18:37] courtni, what do you want to change? [18:37] !hi | gabriel_pimentel [18:37] gabriel_pimentel: 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! [18:37] ActionParsnip, I've run into that, though many a time and had to install from a usb cd drive [18:37] I have a problem with ubnutn 10.4, I cant connect to my wireless network, I have a RTL8187 chipset [18:37] sjm: true but still need to md5 before transferring [18:37] the only thing I wanted to change was the user interface actually, is there another way to do this? [18:38] ActionParsnip, true. Just another troubleshooting step. [18:38] courtni: vhange in what way? [18:38] since updating to FF 3.6.8, all textareas are using \r\n instead of just \n as line-endings. Google and launchpad aren't showing anything about this. What should I do next to track this down? [18:38] yes it is ALWAYS wise to check the md5 sum of an iso ...if avialable..and they are available for ubuntu [18:38] perlDreamer: have you tried creating a new profile? [18:38] I have a problem with ubuntu 10.4, I cant connect to my wireless network, I have a RTL8187 chipset , I can see the network but It doesnt connect [18:39] courtni, yes. I did a google search to find out how to do it on mine, just a sec to see if I can find the pages... [18:39] Hi all. I installed the Desktop version of Ubuntu, but am trying to disable the automatic bootup of Gnome. I don't want it to use that graphical login prompt, either. I can't seem to disable this. I've tried rcconf, and that did nothing. [18:39] Any ideas? [18:39] ActionParsnip, no. I'm kind of partial to the current profile. [18:39] and this is why I ask for help because I always get silence if I just ask the question. [18:39] perlDreamer: sure but its useful to troubleshoot don't you think. You can have more than one profile [18:40] strangeseraph, if no one knows the answer...unfortunately they simply dont resond...if that happens again ...simply repost the question...and hang out or if it is a problem that may be linux in general you can to to the ##linux channel :) [18:40] Since upgrading to 10.04, i've had more than a couple of issues, some of which have already been tackled. Next one i think i must address is some error messages I can see just before the graphical interface starts, but that I cannot catch. How can I catch them so I can post them here?? TIA!

After selecting your login name, change which session you want at the bottom before entering your password. [18:42] Greetings all--I installed xubuntu on my laptop (hp6515b) and it no longer detects my wifi card via lspci. How to remedy? [18:42] perlDreamer: run firefox in safe mode. firefox -safe-mode can you post a screenshot of what you see. [18:42] strangeseraph: do you have the latest java? Does java work in other pages? [18:43] gabriel_pimentel, did you compile your drivers? [18:43] When I download truecrypt I cannot extract the tar.gz file it says:unexpected end of file tar Unexpected EOF in archive tar Error is not recoverable exiting now [18:43] khider: run: sudo lshw -C network ,should show you stuff [18:43] what can i do? [18:43] I have a source for java in my repository so it should always be the latest. This particular chat room requires sun java. [18:43] lakowasi: sounds like a bad download [18:43] java works everywhere else yes. [18:43] but I'll double check other java places just in case [18:43] ActionParsnip: What about installing wifi drivers--it is hard to install drivers when it does not detect... [18:43] ActionParship: I downloaded 3 times already [18:44] the wireless car is recognized [18:44] ActionParsnip: new profile behaves the same way [18:44] strangeseraph: go to www.java.com to check it is the latest [18:44] the wireless card is recognized [18:44] ActionParsnip: http://dpaste.com/222837/ [18:44] gabriel_pimentel, are you using the provided drivers or did you compile from source [18:44] perlDreamer: ok cool, sounds like a bug then. How did you install the browser? [18:44] it's stock ubuntu [18:45] ah! there is an update! :) [18:45] ubuntu recognizeds [18:45] nimbiotics: its no use to me. I suck at xorg errors. That lot of text is you x server loading and will show issues etc [18:45] hola buenas tardes [18:45] ubuntu recognized it automatically, it was working fine until a few days ago [18:45] Hi [18:45] but why isn't it in the repository? I don't know how to use this bin thing. Ubuntu won't do anything when I double click in. [18:45] it* [18:45] saludos paco [18:45] perlDreamer: try adding the mozilla ppa. The later build may cure the issue [18:45] me pueden ayudad ? [18:45] ActionParsnip: It only detects the internet cable--not the wifi card when I run the command [18:45] saludos gabriel [18:46] !es | paco_ [18:46] paco_: 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. [18:46] pueden ayudarme ? [18:46] khider: then make sure the killswitch is set to on and reboot. You can also run: dmesg | less ,to see if its detected at boot [18:47] strangeseraph: no, there is a page to test java and if you have the latest version [18:47] alguien puede ayudarme por favor ? [18:47] paco_, venga a #ubuntu-es [18:47] paco_: /join #ubuntu-es [18:47] paco_: Ingles solamente aqui, pf [18:47] I did that ActionParsnip and it told me to download an update. But my update sources should give me the latest. :( [18:47] ok gracias [18:47] ActionParsnip: What do you mean by kill switch? [18:47] khider: if its a clean install you should get updated. May help. Maybe there is a bug [18:47] paco_: de nada [18:48] ActionParsnip: It is a new install, just a few hours ago [18:48] how do I install a .bin? [18:48] ActionParsnip: lamo... well its going to be a whole lot less usefull for a noob like me :D [18:48] ActionParsnip: I am updated, did not help : - ( === k4k0 is now known as CdK1 [18:48] strangeseraph: then you can use the .bin but you won't automagically update [18:48] My connection worked fine a few days ago, now it doesnt, I have a RTL8187 chipset, I can see the network but when I try to connect It wont let me, Can somebody help me? [18:49] will the new updates eventually go to the repository? [18:49] strangeseraph: there are guides around on how to use it, you basically mark it as executable and run it as user, it extracts n [18:49] philinux: it showed me a dialog box with 6 unchecked boxes. Then, when I continued, it showed me a default firefox browser screen [18:49] hello [18:49] how woudl i allow remote control of my machine in ubuntu the remote desktop preferences says i only have acces over localhost [18:49] ActionParsnip: how do I uninstall the PPA if it doesn't change anything? [18:49] strangeseraph: and you symlink the plugin to your browser plugins folder [18:49] i want someone to be able to get there from outside [18:49] perlDreamer: but do site display correctly in safe-mode [18:49] I'm having some problems with a new ATI graphics card on puredyne (ubuntu based), is this the right place to ask my question [18:49] getting this error while attemting to update: W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openldap/libldap-2.4-2_2.4.21-0ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb [18:49] 404 Not Found [18:49] perlDreamer: run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [18:50] have no idea what that means. :/ [18:50] strangeseraph: find guides online on how to use it. The repo hasn't been updated yet so your java is old [18:51] help [18:51] seems like it'd be easier to wait for the repo update than fiddling with an installer. Thanks. [18:51] perlDreamer: simply adding the ppa doesn't do much, you have to tell the system to upgrade and it will pull down new stuff [18:51] abhijit: whith...? [18:51] Since upgrading to 10.04, i've had more than a couple of issues, some of which have already been tackled. Next one i think i must address is some error messages I can see just before the graphical interface starts, but that I cannot catch. How can I catch them so I can post them here?? TIA! [18:51] philinux: it's not a question of display, it's a question of how it interprets my input [18:51] strangeseraph: your call. Using that method is how to get native 64bit java rather than 32bit via nspluginwrapper [18:52] terry_, getting this error while attemting to update: W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openldap/libldap-2.4-2_2.4.21-0ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb [18:52] Did anyone have any experience with ATI HD 5xxx cards on ubuntu? [18:52] 404 Not Found [18:52] ActionParsnip, so to revert back to good old regular Firefox instead of new bleeding edge Firefox, I remove the ppa from the set of repos and update/upgrade again? [18:52] I don't think I have a 64bit supported laptop? :/ [18:52] abhijit: change your source to the main server [18:52] nimbiotics, try: dmesg [18:52] perlDreamer, you have to use ppa-purge upon the PPA repo [18:52] ActionParsnip, you mean from in to main? [18:53] perlDreamer: sure, remove ppa then reinstall the browser, you can remove firefox too then reinstall it. The settings and profile will be untouched [18:53] abhijit: http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openldap/libldap-2.4-2_2.4.21-0ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb says 404 not found [18:53] abhijit: in software sources under system -> admin [18:53] terry_, yes === max is now known as Guest47367 [18:53] ActionParsnip, no no. I mean do you mean change it from local server i.e. India server to main server? [18:54] abhijit: yes, the one you are on is having issues / being updated so use a different one === jcdury is now known as dury [18:54] ActionParsnip, ok [18:54] terry_, abhijit: If you'd like, you can just wait. It looks like the India mirror is a a few hours out of date. [18:54] Pici, yes. [18:54] sjm: http://pastebin.com/wDzVnvwy [18:55] what is up with the java? [18:55] abhijit: change to main server then run: sudo apt-get upate; sudo apt-get upgrade [18:55] Guys, does anybody have any experience with the HD 5xxx ATI graphic cards on ubuntu, if it just doesn't work I can give up and just move to an other pc I guess.. [18:55] thanks bunches anyways. :) [18:55] ActionParsnip, yah ok [18:55] Anybody knows how I can install the package wmi-client in 10.04? Supposedly hardy had it, but I cant seem to find it anywhere in 10.04. Tried google, no luck there either.. [18:55] abhijit: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libldap-2.4-2 [18:55] Quick question. How long would it take to "shred" a 320GB drive? Does it go sector by sector? [18:56] terry_, now I changed it to main server. will look for indian server after some hours [18:56] 32 min [18:56] Phoenixz: could find a ppa with it on [18:56] depnding on speed and level of shredding [18:56] nimbiotics, not sure what that is about, I was just helping with a way to see errors that might "disappear" when X starts up. [18:56] ActionParsnip, terry_ Pici thanks :) [18:56] 32 mins is not too bad. So long as it doesnt take all day. Thanks fling [18:56] Phoenixz, yeah I dont see that package listed for lucid at all [18:56] an sata 320gb with 3.2ghz and 133fsb should shred it quickly [18:57] sjm: thanks [18:57] Mea: depends on spindle speed , seek time and many other factors like age. [18:57] ActionParsnip: So you think this may be a kernel error, to not detect a wifi card? [18:57] 1333* [18:57] Hello, can u tell me some free log analyzers that work with shorewall, iptables or any other network analyse program/script [18:57] and atleast 1gb ram [18:57] ActionParsnip: looked for PPAs, no luck there either.. its weird, its just as if it disappeared [18:57] msg nickserv identify unorth/89- [18:57] 7.2krpm was my experience [18:57] khider: you may need a boot option or 2 to make it pickup.

I use gnome and it causes a problem shutting down [19:56] avon, yes, you'll have to uninstall the "offical" or vendor specific ones..and re-install the ones ubuntu would give you..a simple un-install of the vendor drivers should allow you to do this easily [19:56] Try to get my speakers to play sound.

(so we don't talk in +1) [20:45] Thanks [20:45] and it's back already [20:45] profxavier: useless use of cat award? [20:45] excuse me yofel? [20:45] Quiet_guy: less /etc/service/service.conf [20:45] theoctagon: ill accept it :D [20:45] profxavier: try: sudo make -C /etc/mail (that'll rebuild config databases after editing for example submit.mc) [20:45] calmdude: you said in +1 that you had nvidia issues ;) [20:45] oh yep [20:45] profxavier: you are wasting a process :P === jeff_ is now known as Guest78233 [20:46] hello === Guest21103 is now known as BLW [20:46] theoctagon: my apologies for my offensive behaviour [20:46] I have connected my external hard drive to ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to recognize it? [20:46] hard disk* [20:47] profxavier: accepted - I am just jokin :) [20:47] Shouldn't it be possible to install Server from USB memory stick? [20:47] well, i have a nvidia gt220 & lucid amd64. it crashes after i install proprietary drivers. never happened before, is it just me or a general problem? [20:47] profxavier: http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html [20:47] oCean_, didnt work, no makefile found, would that have to do with the fact I have esmtp-run installed ? [20:47] theoctagon, I am joking as well :D [20:47] markus___: sure [20:47] join #distutils [20:47] markus___: You might want to look into ubootin for that, it sets up your flash drive for you. It can also download most official distrobutions for you. [20:48] calmdude: er, crashes right after installing? do you mean the hardware drivers app or the whole sytem, or do you mean the system doesn't boot right after reboot [20:48] profxavier: yeah, that could be. Sorry, got no other option to try then.. [20:48] thanks yofel :) [20:48] iceroot: Any idea why it complains about no CD-ROM? [20:48] it boots with low res mode, i checked the nvidia settings manager and it says "not installed" too [20:48] markus___: who? the bios? the installer? [20:48] hi. any way to read a webm video with 10.4 packages ? [20:48] therealpsychx: I used the guide at the ubuntu download page, but will look at that [20:49] I have connected my external hard disk to ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to recognize it? [20:49] !usb | markus___ [20:49] markus___: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:49] i created an xorg.conf file as nvidia settings manager suggests, so it looks working for now. but my bootloader res is lower and its not stable as it should be [20:49] maco, found it, it was the autohide, thanks man =) [20:49] #join chaosradio [20:49] iceroot: I can boot the installer but after a while it says that there is no CD-rom, if I go to Test media it says that right away [20:49] calmdude, thats the same issue i was having [20:49] calmdude: oh, boot loader res being lower is a known issue [20:49] man its so depressing [20:50] calmdude, did that happen to you after a update? [20:50] to repeat my problem: my wlan0 is gone at current ubuntu10.04, asus eee 1101HA. Worked before (today in the morning). output of sudo lshw -C network can be found at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/470388/ [20:50] before & after, confirmed with several fresh lucid installs [20:50] also i386 & amd64 [20:50] what card? [20:51] calmdude: low res on boot should be bug 563878 (if you have a launchpad account click on 'This bug affects ...' and please don't add a comment) [20:51] gt220 [20:51] I forgot: restart didn't help [20:51] pcie [20:51] 61% of maverick meerkat download [20:51] calmdude: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/563878 [20:51] quadro 2700m [20:51] yea i found some threads about it, but looks like underrated for a general issue. i need prop drivers for "vdpau" so i can decode HD videos with no cpu load [20:51] I have connected my external hard disk to ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to recognize it? [20:52] i cant make it with nouveau drivers [20:52] calmdude: yes, nouveau has no vdpau support (and won't have it for a while I guess) [20:52] YzN: any relevant messages in /var/log/messages ? [20:52] same calmdude i was running with 10.04 since release and this jsut happened to me [20:52] YzN: Do other USB devices work? [20:53] calmdude: but the low res issue won't be fixed in lucid as it's too risky, the devs are trying to improve it in maverick but that broke other drivers currently [20:53] should i file a bugreport ? what url can i use ? [20:54] YzN: ubuntu version? [20:54] michael, i even make 256.35 drivers work with "blacklist this & that" routines, still dont feel ok crashable on any kernel update. yep yofel hope meerkat will be better than current nightmare. [20:54] !lamp [20:54] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [20:54] shagnasty: USB devices work and am able to view, so are the internal hard disks, but this hard disk connected via the USB does not show. I would also like to tell you that when I was on windows XP, it was asking me to format it, howver works normal on windows 7. [20:54] calmdude: where did you get 256.35 from? [20:55] from nvidia.com [20:55] eeeek [20:55] YzN: immediately after connect, what does 'dmesg' output [20:55] and it was pretty nice, anyway i bet it can crash after kernel update [20:55] stats /p [20:55] calmdude: well, while that certainly is a way to get them, they don't provide a proper .deb package so the drivers don't survive a kernel update [20:55] so i leave it too, right now messing with 195 from repo [20:55] Is it NTFS or FAT? [20:56] calmdude: the x-updates ppa has a proper packaged 256, let me get the link [20:56] nope [20:56] not working too [20:56] harvi: the latest [20:57] calmdude: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ [20:57] oCean_: I have no idea what's dmesg mean, however it doesn't make a sound or doesn't even show it on the desktop like other flash drives. [20:57] ppa, already try n fail... i make 256 work with improvising 3 different how tos (one of them was x-swat ppa) [20:57] calmdude: the binary driver will always crash after a kernel update (unless you have dkms installed and then it's not guaranteed ).. simply re install the driver... the same version that was there before the upgrade. [20:57] USB, hardisks etc. [20:57] YzN: Which file system is the drive NTFS or FAT? [20:57] Hi. MPD works fine with pulseaudio but when I open firefox and try to play a youtube video, not only do I get no sound from the video but pulseaudio stops giving off sound altogether. Suggestions?

That is why you have to run 'dmesg' command. See last couple of lines (like last 10-15) It should show that the system actually sees an usb device connect. Has nothing to do with showing up on desktop [20:58] so what if i downgrade to karmic, what about the up to dateness? :-) [20:58] calmdude: hm, maybe what failed was the 'Hardware Drivers' app, not the driver itself [20:59] How can i get a higher resolution? I usually run 1440x900 on windows, but im limited to 1280x768 on ubuntu. Can i raise it somehow? [20:59] Shagnasty: the problem is that I'm not able to know, it belongs to my friend, however for it to work on XP it asks me to format it to NTFS which is a problem in deleting all files on Disk. [20:59] calmdude: downgrade? [20:59] calmdude: you could try to install 'nvidia-current' in synaptic and run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' in a terminal, should work [20:59] don't forget to reboot [20:59] not only logout [21:00] been there done that yofel and it cause the low res bootloader [21:00] dmesg [21:00] soz [21:00] YzN: yes, don't paste here [21:00] low res bootloader is that any problem ? [21:00] calmdude: well, that's partly the drivers fault, you can certailny work around that, but that doesn't mean the driver doesn't work [21:00] i make the bootloader res higher with grub workaround, well [21:00] calmdude: it's just that the splash and the nvidia / ati (and some other) drivers don't work well with the splash [21:01] *don't work well together === MichaelSOG-away is now known as MichaelSOG [21:02] you can force it in xorg.conf.

[21:02] im just disappointment man, switched to nvidia from ati before ages. installed nvidia prop drivers, kernels etc with no problem... and now, lucid ruined the whole thing, when im drooling for vdpau [21:03] i can switch to intel, if it has vdpau [21:03] YzN: open console, type "tail -f /var/log/messages" then unplug and replug the external drive, it should tell you what it sees [21:03] x4500 was incredible on compiz with open source drivers === Leszczoman is now known as karaeska [21:04] calmdude: well, that's partly the fault of the devs deciding to use plymouth for the splash knowing that it won't work well with proprietary drivers, not nvidias fault :/ [21:04] Shagnasty: http://pastebin.com/NBkZUnSQ >> from the dmesg [21:05] YzN: good, your usb disk is recognized, it's /dev/sdb [21:05] jongleur1: did you install a kernel update? does the kernel log show something? [21:05] YzN: try "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" to see what partitions are there [21:05] crap [21:05] good old days :-/ [21:05] yofel: could be, yes. was there a new kernel update availlable today? I think so, yes [21:05] Shagnasty: Second command: http://pastebin.com/S6t0URrZ [21:05] what i lost if i switch to karmic? [21:06] harvi: Sounds good. After i modify the xorg.conf, how would i apply the changes? Restart or login/logout? [21:06] i was trying to update to ubuntustudio-rt and closed the terminal.. [21:06] karmic was not problematic with nvidia props [21:07] oCean: here it is: http://pastebin.com/MqyYsxkU [21:07] YzN: Looks to me like your drive is being detected, you just need to mount it [21:07] : restart PC or xorg [21:07] YzN: ok, cool - it's NTFS. Try "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" [21:08] hi and good night. Who's got eeePC1000 and installed 10.04? [21:08] oCean_::mount: you must specify the filesystem type [21:08] jongleur1: well, I'm not sure, you could try to hold left shift pressed on the bios screen on boot which should give you the grub menu and try an older kernel, can you pastebin the dmesg output first though? [21:08] i got besoon [21:08] 1000h [21:08] da-bayman, if Karmac provided you with what you "wanted" and worked well with your driver / kernel combinaiton and VDPAU, maybe thats your real answer.

[21:08] YzN: you need to install the ntfs driver " apt-get install ntfs3g" [21:09] what you mean with fun control? fan control? [21:09] YzN: you might have to install ntfs support: "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" [21:09] calmdude: cooler control [21:09] sorry [21:09] da-bayman, sri that was ment for calmude. [21:09] it is kinda overheating but im not sure if it is fan control [21:09] YzN: sorry I missed the dash [21:09] u can try "lubuntu" for 1000h [21:10] google "lubuntu" [21:10] it is the best derivative for netbooks [21:11] oCean_: http://pastebin.com/j8ydxCT9 [21:11] Can anyone help me getting rid of that awfully large font in Nautilus?

[21:13] Every now and again, my SSH connection to my server - on the local network - drops out. I'm using PuTTY to connect to it. [21:13] u better to try "lubuntu" besogon not "ubuntu" [21:14] When it does this, it's generally a few minutes - or more - before it responds to connections again. [21:14] it has less cpu&memory usage so it will be cooler & faster than ubuntu [21:14] besogon: http://lubuntu.net/ [21:14] The error message is either "Software caused connection abort" or "connection refused" - at random.

Do you run a host-based firewall on it? [21:15] used eee-control and some other applets before karmic [21:16] rob_p, unless it's default, no. [21:16] not practical at all, give lubuntu a try man ;-) [21:16] Database: No. There's none by default. [21:16] rob_p, okay, then the answer is no, I don't. :) [21:17] oCean_:http://pastebin.com/SptbWL8K [21:17] i can also report 1000h & lubuntu has twice battery life than ubuntu [21:17] Database: I've had issues over un-reliable networks with SSH (such as over satellite) and the addition of, "ClientAliveInterval 60" to sshd_config helped a lot. [21:17] okay, thank you. [21:18] I'll try that. [21:18] Database: But over a local LAN, you'd think it would be *very* reliable! [21:18] Using alias ca='echo "scale=3;$1"|bc -l' gives me the error message "File 2+3 is unavailable". Anybody knows why? [21:18] rob_p, I had the same problem when I was in college with their lan. Same fix as well. [21:18] calmdude: may be in Sepnptember I will ... Now I very busy to learn something else but my work. :-/ [21:18] Well, my LAN is running 13 computers over a series of rather cheap and nasty switches [21:18] shagnasty: http://pastebin.com/SptbWL8K [21:18] So I would be inclined to doubt it! [21:18] * jongleur is searching for wlan0 [21:18] Database: You might run a packet sniffer to gain further insight if it persists. Maybe you have an intermittant NIC, etc. [21:19] ok, btw how old was 1000h. they known to be problematic with aging [21:19] * Database nods. [21:19] Will do.

Interestingly enough, all Samba and web connections still work fine. [21:20] anyone here from ubuntuusers MANNHEIM?? [21:21] fan control can be used even without eee-control, but with using console. [21:21] Database: That is odd! Do you have, "TCPKeepAlive yes" in your config as well? [21:21] so why are you wanna control fans besogon?

[21:23] well i think youŕ 're right yofel thanks so much [21:23] np ;) [21:23] calmdude: I like work on my netbook without the wire. If fan works mightly then battery dies faster [21:23] YzN: Was away. It's either one a messed up partition, or you should try the mount command not with -t ntfs, but -t ntfs-3g [21:23] rob_p, I'll try that. [21:24] fans r not kill battery as u think, most of the energy sucked by LCD ligh [21:24] *light [21:24] make it darker and u will see the difference [21:24] oCean_: It isn't cause it works on windows 7 where it was formatted. [21:25] btw, as i said before lubuntu has twice battery life than ubuntu [21:25] ok [21:25] where are the backtrack reposotories located?

For example if it wasn't disconnected *very* cleanly on windows, Linux can't access it. [21:25] rob_p, yup, it's there [21:25] n0a1ias, backtrack is a totally different distro. You can't just add those repos to sources.list [21:25] YzN: in that case, I'm out of options :( [21:26] YzN: do you have gparted installed on your machine? [21:26] hey [21:26] Shagnasty: that's an application? [21:26] oCean_: No worries thanks anyways.

At least you know :) Here: http://boreditguy.com/blog/?p=152 [21:28] thanks [21:28] I'm beginning to suspect this is PuTTY or Windows' problem.

[21:30] If that's all, then I am one step closer to dumping Windows :P [21:30] rob_p, I think I'm going to check the connection under Ubuntu.

[21:34] JenniferB what is it not doing or doing? [21:34] kerebrus and zizo: You could try installing the VirtualBox OSE package.

[21:37] i am having an issue getting a 4 port Nvidia quadro to work properly in ubuntu 10, like many I get the black screen however it completely kills the box, no input is accepted [21:37] zizo, It's really not that bad on Linux. :) [21:37] YzN: Your computer is recognizing it as /dev/sdb but apparently it will not read it [21:38] hey [21:38] zizo, GIMP and Blener make a power combinaiton for Photo / 3D Editing. It's a bit of a leaning curve, but well worth it. Blender is the equal to 3D Studio Max. [21:38] cypher-neo : yes i'm try it really but i love photoshop this is expert [21:38] zizo, There are a couple hundred GIMP packages that can be installed as plugins available in Synaptic and online which can turn GIMP into a program that rivals Photoshop. Blender is also a good 3D program... what KE1HA said. [21:38] Shanasty: Owh no idea...I'm uploading a snapshot now, and I would just like to add that my friend told me it's password protected if that makes any difference? [21:39] Shagnasty: http://i29.tinypic.com/24yu7gl.jpg [21:39] YzN: How did he protect it? [21:39] KE1HA , cypher-neo : ok thankx [21:39] i will try [21:39] Hello to everyone !

On another ubuntu box I have apt-get install isync works fine, but my new instance seems to not have the correct source. Does anyone know how I can find what source isync is on? [21:41] Shagnasty: Just give me a second I'll ask him [21:41] nothing suggested here has worked: [21:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [21:41] YzN: ok [21:41] where i can get gekos itunes theme for lucid? [21:42] sudipta, you found no theme ? then it does not exist no longer ? [21:42] has anyone got an idea to version control digital images without bloating the repository? [21:42] is there any specific one for binary files? [21:42] I was hoping someone in the group today might be able to answer an interesting question. I was having trouble with the mouse themes not working, and traced it back to a bug in compiz-core. I have patched the compiz-core deb file as instructed, and installed it. The problem though, the very next time the pc updates, it wants to install the original compiz-core. I am trying to "pin" my... [21:42] ...version, but because the original and patched compiz core have the same name, I can't seem to figure out how to pin mine. Anyone know how I might get the update manager to hide compiz-core from updating? [21:42] utkanos, using lucid? do this "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" [21:43] Oer:ok [21:43] YzN: If he used Bitlocker in windows 7 ultimate, you probably wont be able to open the drive [21:43] is there anything in lucid like itunes and safari?

[21:48] I'm having difficulty upgrading Firefox from 3.5.6 to 3.6.8 using Ubuntuzilla on 9.04 32-bit. Any help? [21:48] whow, thanks for the nvidia comment.. I still had far more nvndia then I thought [21:48] sudipta, There are lots of matlab packages avilable in Synaptic. [21:49] zizo: what radeon card do you have? [21:49] sudipta, I was able to find them by searching "matlab" in the Quick find bar in the Package Manager [21:49] itsjar: np [21:49] i meant that msfconsole work using local network but not using web, some one have any idea? [21:49] calmdude: depends what you call up2date [21:49] i am planning to install karmic instead of lucid, so i can use nvidia prop drivers. is it a good idea? [21:50] firefox for example [21:50] calmdude, packages don't get version updates during a release, so the packages in Karmic will by older then in Lucid. [21:50] :-/ [21:50] ok [21:50] pc is upgrading atm, I was behind on updates, I'll let you know later on how it went [21:50] ok thanx [21:50] appamajig: I checked out that link. That scenario seems to be just the ticket. I am trying it right now, but for some reason, it still shows compiz-core in the list to update, it just is de-selected. Is this normal behaviour? [21:50] itsjar: ok... good luck [21:50] Hi, i am used to kde and if i want to switch a tab in the terminal (console) i was able to use + , how can i do it using gnome, or where can i adjust it?

I have been looking all afternoon and this conversation has proven the most useful thus far. :-) [21:50] appamajig : ATI Radeon 7000 [21:50] ledoktre: honestly, I have no idea, I just did a quick google search...

I'm a vi guy myself, but why recommend it to others? [21:54] YzN you will need windows 7 [21:54] zizo ok, get to a console and type this sudo apt-get purge nouveau; sudo apt-get purge radeon*; sudo apt-get purge ati*; sudo apt-get install nouveau [21:54] YzN:Xp should work, assuming he used bitlocker to go, it will launch an application to ask for the password [21:54] kosaidpo: depends on your client. most graphical ones show the channel topic at the top of the window [21:54] can anyone tell me the shortcut to cahnge tab in terminal?

[21:56] ZykoticK9: well i remember first time i tried out vi, it took me hitting all buttons to get into INSERT-mode ^^ , ok it is not best for beginners, and if vim not installed it is horror ^^ [21:56] OK, no help with Ubuntuzilla today I can see. How about this one: Is there a reason I should avoid using 8.04 on an older machine just because it's out of its support life cycle? [21:56] Black_: maybe you should decapitalize the D ? [21:56] Black_: doxygen [21:56] YzN: no problem, good luck [21:56] Shagnasty: its not [21:56] appamajig : it is command not have problem [21:56] etalyc: is there a config file for this?

I thought it was. [21:56] Black_: or put the doxygen binary to your $PATH variable [21:56] Hey all, I installed ubuntu 10.04 a while ago and had a good few problems im not willing to deal with at the moment, So im on 9.10 Which is fine, But im curious asto if i can get the software center and gnome-terminal that they had on 10.04? Is there a ppa or package for those or are they heavily dependant on the way 10.04was built? [21:56] shawnboy: 8.04 is LTS. 3yr on desktop [21:56] ok, let's say it is... then what's your answer? [21:57] thank you very much [21:57] zizo: see my dcc chat window... [21:57] Hey guys how can I check to see if a dns server is set up correctly? [21:57] I forgot the commands [21:57] ravenheart: in gnome-terminal just go to Edit->keyboard shortcuts [21:57] shawnboy: nope... if you dont care about getting updates, use whatever you like [21:57] appamajig : this is failed [21:57] chrislabeard: maybe ping google.com [21:57] appamajig : Couldn't find package [21:57] how to install nautilus elementary [21:57] sansname: well I have my dns set up with my domain [21:58] maco: am I putting my machine/network at serious risk? or is it just no more software updates in general? [21:58] sansname: I wanted to see if my domain is even trying to use that dns or not [21:58] appamajig: nouveau should be standard available in the packages? [21:58] shawnboy: no updates DOES imply no security updates [21:58] maco im on those rooms i dont anythin [21:58] chrislabeard: more /etc/resolv.conf [21:58] shawnboy: dunno. wasnt the netstat or so? [21:58] the os i'm working on is puredyne which is ubuntu based, I can't find it [21:58] etalyc: ty, but can u tell me anyways what the configfile is? bashrc doesnt seem to have this [21:58] itsjar: yep, it should be in there [21:58] maco: so from that perspective, it may not be wise to continue using out of support Ubuntu. [21:59] shawnboy, what maco is saying is that 8.04 is currently still supported, with updates. But once a version has become EOL you SHOULD NOT use it. [21:59] chrislabeard: oh I missed the "server" [21:59] chrislabeard, dig example.com where example.dom is yoru domain [21:59] i created an open wifi network..not related or given a bssid to connect to...i shared it to all users...in an atempt to make one ap connect to 3 networks at once...instead it is replicateing....???? [21:59] KE1HA: Okay i it doesn't show up than its not set up correctly ? [21:59] ok. thanks ZykoticK9 ... what I wanted to know. [21:59] ZykoticK9: you *can* keep using it once it's EOL...its just stupid to do so ;-) === thyri0n is now known as zz_thyri0n [21:59] KE1HA: I've tired that and I don't even see the dns at all but its listed as a name server on my domain [21:59] anybody knows about ltsp?? [21:59] maco, true! [21:59] or is it xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ? [22:00] I wouls say yes, there's somethign not right. But you have to edit your resolve.conf first. [22:00] itsjar: hmmm... one sec lemme double check [22:00] ltsp configuration of dhcp.conf??? [22:00] kosaidopo_: see the line at the top of the window that has text? it has a few links in it? one of those links, when youre in #ubuntu-classroom points at the schedule [22:00] chrislabeard, here ya go: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dns-server-setup-using-bind-in-ubuntu.html [22:00] KE1HA: When I'm inside my network if I edit my hosts file to point at the server It all works just fine so I'm not sure [22:00] maco, ZykoticK9, if I had it already setup on a machine for long time, I probably wouldn't worry about it, but if I were thinking about INSTALLING 8.04 with only a few months left before EOL, then sounds like I shouldn't. [22:00] KE1HA: ahh I need to open that port [22:00] shawnboy: right [22:01] gotcha [22:01] :-) that would help yes :-) [22:01] maco: yeh tnx dude : ) saw it [22:01] itsjar: yeah, that's the one [22:01] cool, rebooting :) [22:01] shawnboy, why bother with 8.04? why not use a newer version? even with older hardware newer versions of ubuntu should work fine, or check out xubuntu for a slightly "lighter" system. [22:01] KE1HA: Cause if its working internally with using the hosts file, than it should work publicly as long as all the ports are correct.

Nevermind, then :) I'll just plod on with wine [22:10] I've been working on it for 5 horus now too.. But this install used to be running on nvidia, makes it more evil I guess [22:11] the result so far is (EE) no devices detected [22:11] itsjar here's the best link that I could find when I was doing this... it explains every step and nuance to getting this to work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [22:11] does anybody knows how can i imporve my "nouveau video performance"?

[22:13] KE1HA: Alright I will wait a little longer before freaking out [22:13] itsjar but that link does tell you how to get the best ati setup... *shame* [22:13] Does any know if there will be a 10.04.1 release soon that will fix the bug with the Realtek NIC drivers?

[22:14] u mean dualboot as win/ubuntu tesla? === Guest30055 is now known as BLW [22:14] ciao [22:14] TeslaTony Look at unetbootin.. That might be what you need [22:14] TeslaTony, sure, treat the drive as if it's an internal hard drive. [22:15] although, it would need an MBR / Bootload installed on it as well. [22:15] well, i installed windows/ubuntu dualboot in my usb thumb drive "as hard disk" and it was slow... really really slow... [22:15] calmdude: I'm using an nvidia 8800 gt and performance is great with my setup (newest nvidia drivers from the site... 256.35 I think?) what's your setup and where do you see performance degredation? [22:15] yeah, that would work. it'd be no different than installing to a usb harddrive (which I use daily) [22:16] appamajig, i need vdpau support! :-D [22:16] calmdude, of cource its slow, your working at USB speed, take that same drive and put it in a PCIE-SSD setup, and its insanely fast. [22:16] i need help installing tremulous where i want it to be installed.. [22:16] i installed 256.35 too, with playing dirty [22:16] hmm.. if i'm in console mode (fixing grahpics card) and I can't even press Q in vim (I can press ':' but not 'q') .. It also didn't revert to qwerty in stead of azerty, any ideas to get out of vim? [22:16] ke1ha, im not complainin, i answered teslatony lol [22:16] calmdude: what video card do you have? what cpu? [22:17] The only downside to treating it as an internal drive is I'd have to boot into a livecd environment, and I lack a second flash drive, or an optical drive. unetbootin sounds interesting, though. Thanks, folks [22:17] :-) no worries, speed is what it is all about, and USB justn't the way to go to get it :-) [22:17] Wtf i just tried to download new nvidia drivers from the nvidia website and i think it's trying to execute the .run within google chrome :S [22:17] never mind, i'll restat [22:17] *start === janos_ is now known as Naxil [22:17] calmdude, set pci latency? do you have pci-e?

[22:18] TeslaTony, if your only drive ( meaning no internal drive ) conntected to the machine, then its not a problem. [22:18] I click download file, and it opens up a new tab and spams loads of echo commands [22:18] well, gt220... i noticed installing current (must be 195 smthin) from "hardware drivers" way is crashed my system after reboot... so i improvised some tutorials like x-swat ppa... they failed too, whatever i make 256.35 worked [22:18] itsjar: know this: do NOT use the fglrx drivers, those are crap :) the link I sent you has everything you need [22:18] how do i run a *.run file? [22:18] ohh [22:18] but it was unstable and ugly (u know the low res bootloader problem etc) [22:18] didnt read it yet :) [22:19] so nouveau is not good.. that's why I didn't hear of that yet [22:19] Gnea:hi [22:19] thanks for the link anyway mn!! :) [22:19] fling: sh myrunfile.run [22:19] TeslaTony, allot of people go down the road of Dualboot, USB Boot, Flashdrive Boot, when all they need to do is install a Virtual Solution, of couse you need at least two cores, and a bit of Ram, but its far less hassle fer sure. [22:19] nouveau sucks (for now, no vdpau yet) :-/ [22:19] itsjar: yeah... it's an nvidia driver... *furtive glances* [22:19] :) [22:19] How do i switch to root then? I've never had to [22:20] calmdude: I misled him to try to install nouveau on his radeon system... lol I got mixed up [22:20] su root [22:20] some people why my computer not boot ubuntu? i have installed ubuntu on 2 different hd but say everithing "!alert /dev/uu-id does not exist" please query me if you know something [22:20] <_sjm_> joofl: use sudo [22:20] joogl: just use sudo [22:20] Now it's given me an error [22:20] joofl: just use sudo [22:20] You appear to be running an X server [22:20] Please exit X before installing [22:20] i switched from ati, just because im into linux... lived happily with my prop drivers, and lucid make it opposite! :,-( [22:21] hello [22:21] KE1HA: I'm trying to put together a portable drive for working on computers, where I don't want to use the installed OS [22:21] cool [22:21] Any ideas on how to exit X server guys? :S [22:21] keyha [22:21] you talk with me? [22:22] could you guys tell me, if this has something to do about I'm not being able to auto-logon on ssh using rsa? [22:22] exit xserver? u mean gdm or reboot? [22:22] gnome-keyring-daemon[1534]: unsupported key algorithm in certificate: 1.2.840.10045.2.1 [22:22] I don't know :( [22:22] i've tried EVERYTHING [22:22] calmdude: sounds like he's trying to install vid drivers [22:22] I just want to install these damn nvidia drivers and it's telling me i need to exit xserver [22:22] and I can't just auto-logon on ssh [22:22] TeslaTony, I'd Use a Live-CD remix with the tools you need, and the USD for a storage /home on it. But, everyone has their own way of doing it. [22:22] some people know why my computer not boot ubuntu? i have installed ubuntu on 2 different hd but say everithing "!alert /dev/uu-id does not exist" please query me if you know something [22:22] <_sjm_> hornets: what are you trying to do? [22:22] _sjm_: ssh to a server using rsa [22:23] but always ask for my ssh passw [22:23] <_sjm_> hornets: you can log in with a password? [22:23] yes [22:23] I don't suppose there's any ssh voodoo that'll let me forward vnc traffic through my ssh server/firewall to a machine on the internal LAN? [22:23] just using the passw [22:23] I can't log automatically [22:23] I used to Admin Hundres of units that way, mini-cd ( with Knoppix at the time, now Ubuntu) and an USB key, not allot I couldn't do from there. [22:23] appamajig: maybe he wanna reboot [22:23] and I've setup everything rihd [22:23] the ssh-agent [22:23] ssh-add [22:23] etc etc [22:23] <_sjm_> hornets: did you copy the public key to the server using ssh-copy-id? [22:23] hornets: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:23] yes [22:23] calmdude: probably the easiest way... that's how I did it [22:24] appamajig:? [22:24] I'm so confused. [22:24] I'm afraid that gnome-keyring is bugged [22:24] <_sjm_> hornets: it's usually permission problems on the server. Look at the server logs (/var/log/messages). [22:24] and is fuckin the login [22:24] üno crusin, no touchin! [22:24] hum [22:24] let me check it [22:24] hmm well, I don't get the 'your in safe mode' warning again [22:24] but the resolution is still far to low :p [22:24] hornets you can fix this error on boot "!alert dev/uu-id does not exist"? [22:24] KE1HA: THat might be a good way, too. I'm still trying to figure out what I really need to do...most likely an Ubuntu remix on the flash drive, with no dual-booting on it. Though it might be an interesting experiment to test if it can be done without driving me insane [22:25] i have a processor with intel speed step support but the board doest support [22:25] so I can't go to the ati site and install the drivers right? those suck? [22:25] can i activate this feature on ubuntu? [22:25] if board doesnt support u canr siogo [22:25] diogo [22:25] cant [22:25] tsc, permission denied [22:26] I don't have sudo on that server [22:26] joofl: reboot your computer and choose the recovery boot option (just below the one you usually choose) and then choose the root console with network when you get to the blue screen (It won't say that exactly... but It'll mean that) then you probably need to change to the directory with the driver, and then sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux.....run [22:26] I don't have to choose a boot option :/ [22:26] <_sjm_> hornets: what are the permissions on the home directory, the .ssh directory and the authorized_keys file [22:26] I only have ubuntu [22:26] 700/600 [22:27] both sides === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [22:27] I thought using # ssh -L 5900:target_lan_ip:5900 -p 22 user@fw.com would do the trick [22:27] joofl are you using a dual boot? (windows and ubuntu) [22:28] but when I try to vnc to either target_lan_ip or fw.com it times out [22:28] how do I set a mencoder command to convert any video to this setting:http://www.techiechips.com/convert-movies-and-videos-for-the-nokia-5530-xpressmusic/ ? [22:28] I'm not, no. [22:28] how can I fool ubuntu into thinking that a mounted liveCD image is the live disk to grab packages off of? [22:28] I wanted to record something in stereo. I, using Audacity and a stereo cord (from cassette player to the computer). Result : a mono recording How do I repair the error? It"s talking [22:28] <_sjm_> hornets: on the home directory itself? 755? [22:28] netech: vnc to localhost might do? [22:28] 755? [22:28] let me check it [22:28] on my home, or the server? [22:29] TeslaTony, well, the main thing I drove was Harware detection, and that required allot of space, so I went the CD route, but had no need for Dual-Boot. I wokred all flavors of WinDoze and Linux With that mox, worked a treat. [22:29] <_sjm_> hornets: server [22:29] ahhh [22:29] joofl ok, lemme research, one moment [22:29] I'd really like to RTFM, but I'm not sure what to even search for... what do I lookup to find out how to get rid of old/unnecessary Kernels (they show up in GRUB, for example)? Or even just to understand what's going on with Kernel updates (does the old version 'go away', etc.)? [22:29] _sjm_: 775 [22:29] <_sjm_> hornets: and owned by the user you are logging in as? [22:29] yep [22:30] same user/group [22:30] joofl: are you on ubuntu 10.04? === dennis_k_ is now known as dennis_k [22:30] Yeah [22:30] I am [22:30] davidm777: what about deleting them from /boot and grub.conf? [22:30] <_sjm_> hornets: the group on the server? I think that second 7 might be causing the problem.

[22:31] you don't know what I have been through [22:31] to fix this thing [22:31] Any package managers here today? [22:31] it was the fudgin permission lol [22:31] KE1HA: wow, thanks! I don't even need to search :-) [22:32] <_sjm_> hornets: glad to help. I've been through it and that's how I learned. [22:32] KE1HA: nice "gui" edition of removing old kernels :) [22:32] BGL i have burn with nero [22:32] geez man [22:32] I even remove gnome-keyring [22:32] lol [22:33] _sjm_: still.. there's no logic on that [22:33] but i can take program for other hd (other installation of ubuntu) [22:34] <_sjm_> hornets: it is for security. otherwise anyone in the group could change the .ssh directory and get access.

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [22:34] If a group have 7 permission on a dir [22:34] they can change everytying on the subdirs? [22:35] even if is setup 700 [22:35] If yu make the change recursive -R it trolls through the dir-tree for the command executed. [22:35] * theoctagon gets tired [22:36] <_sjm_> hornets: they can change the directory (they have write access to the home directory), but not things within the .ssh, but to the .ssh directory itself. [22:36] _sjm_: like, they can wipeout the .ssh dir? [22:37] <_sjm_> hornets: I haven't tried it, but I think so and replace it with their own. [22:37] my hp-psc-1350 will not print on my network, through samba, file is send but does not print [22:37] hornets, here's an example: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-apply-conditional-recursive-chmod-file-permissions/ [22:37] cyberciti.biz again :) [22:38] fir one I found :-) === janos_ is now known as Naxil [22:38] good page - stumple upon it regularly [22:38] much more content than my linux blog has - but I intend to grow :) [22:39] _sjm_: still, that thing should be worked better on ssh [22:39] nix-craft, that's a good site fer info, allot of UB stuff there.

[22:39] If the group owner have only one user, as Primary. it should work [22:39] like in my example hornets:hornets [22:39] <_sjm_> hornets: the information is there to solve the problem, you just didn't have access to it. It's in the /var/log/messages file. [22:39] _sjm_: I just talked to an admin [22:39] he pasted to me lol [22:40] I intend to blog stuff that is far from basics - nevertheless I blog them too from time to time [22:40] lol, to check if you are using the driver: glxinfo | grep vendor [22:40] result =< [22:40] segmentation fault [22:40] irc.sixlabrats.com [22:41] itsjar: grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old [22:41] KE1HA: http://www.tuxify.de if you're curious - strictly non commercial of course [22:41] itsjar: sorry tab completion error --> grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:41] awesome. connecting to localhost:5900 did the trick. [22:42] netech: just do it right - and it works :P [22:42] Yeah, know that one. Certificate is Out of Date Though :-) [22:42] I thought vnc would just try 5900 automagically [22:42] netech: that's what ssh tunnels are for [22:42] ditto whart he said, VNC is a resource hog. [22:43] I'm tunnelling vnc through a firewall using ssh [22:43] thanks erUSUL, I wanted to know if I'm using the ATI drivers, however I see "ati", "vesa", as well as "fbdev" appearing in that, how do I know i'm using the right drivers? [22:43] (for an artist friend) [22:43] netech, good luck, takes a big pipe to make it responsive. [22:43] netech: the firewall guys won't like it - but who cares :) [22:44] netech: the tool teamviewer might be a better option ;) [22:44] itsjar: read the full log ? i suspect you ended up using ati [22:44] Why does MySQL not start at boot? [22:44] netech, there's a good site on the configuration and the scripts to make it easy for your artist friend: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ssvnc.html [22:45] !list [22:45] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[22:45] your better off with just SSH if you can comand-line the work you need to do. but as said, Adminds dont like SSH tunnels, to many possible holes on the other end. [22:45] theoctagon: I'll check it out. Thanks. [22:45] sjm, thanks as well [22:46] Hi Guys, I stumble upon a software once that allowed to have multiple windows in my terminal.

[22:46] yes that is correct thanks all [22:47] rapture: no nothing else to do [22:47] rapture, try this: sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults [22:47] "update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/mysql missing LSB information" [22:47] What's the difference between Ubuntu Minimal CD Image - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - and UNetbotin Distribution: Ubuntu 10.04_NetInstall and UNetbotin Distribution: Xubuntu 10.04_NetInstall? And if there is a difference, were on the web can I access the later two. [22:48] oh and "System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/mysql already exist." [22:48] KE1HA, theoctagon, the same appears to be true of Mythbackend [22:48] I think Apache is doing it too [22:49] I am le back [22:49] nope, I think i'm using vesa [22:49] then the same would apply: sudo update-rc.d Mythbackend defaults [22:49] how do i become root?

[22:51] ah okay.. thanks all [22:51] Anybody know if there a command line option for wine that lets you enable the desktop window in that instance only? [22:51] then its not in your start up dir, and you need a control script for it. [22:52] anyone else having difficulties with the alternate install disc for 10.04 amd64? [22:52] KE1HA, sorry, but I'm not really sure what a control script is or where I would acquire one [22:53] but are you sure Mythbackend is a Server, and not just an application that is executed and uses MySQL for it's DB ? [22:53] ubuntu won't let me install the tremulous gpp [22:53] Lert me look up that Applicaiton. [22:53] KE1HA, as I recall it's supposed to be a service that runs on boot/login [22:54] don't mean to be impatient, but did anyone read my earlier message?

[23:12] cylence, you may have to upgrade your distro to use the newer versions -- either that or try installing from source, but there can be no guarantees that newer versions will work with 8.04 [23:12] Oer, :-) Ditto [23:12] !backports | cylence [23:12] cylence: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [23:12] hehe, okay [23:12] hi [23:12] thank you all so very much! [23:12] cylence: but i doubt there is a backport for that [23:12] no worries, I'll do the right thing here hehe [23:13] at least I know now. :) [23:13] sincerely, thanks again [23:13] cylence: giving that 8.04 and 10.04 are both LTS releases you can do 8.04 --> 10.04 in one step [23:13] erUSUL: oh nice! [23:13] erUSUL: sounds like a plan to me [23:13] !upgrade > cylence [23:13] cylence, please see my private message [23:13] ubottu: bot it [23:14] radar3d|DT, couple other tings you need to do, post JRE install, check the How-To: http://www.jaxmag.com/itr/news/psecom,id,35104,nodeid,146.html [23:16] I'm still no closer to figuring out why mysql refuses to start at boot but starts just fine if started manually [23:16] 8.04 --> 10.04: Never seen a distro UPG go without a hitch. If 10.04 is the goal, better off doing a fresh install. [23:16] rapture, is the backend workign now ? [23:16] KE1HA: i have. it depends how much 3rd party stuff you install though [23:17] the backend won't start if Mysql isn't started [23:17] once mysql is running, I can start it [23:17] rr ok, hold on a sec. [23:17] and I can set it to run via startup programs if required [23:17] but mysql is not behaving [23:18] hi === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat [23:19] rapture, Im assuming this is on a local LAN yes ? if so, you need to make sure that your networking is up and runnign before MySQL trys to start. [23:20] KE1HA, it's all on a single machine [23:20] rapture, Understand, but have a read of this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1079341 [23:21] may someone help me with this I am trying to create a screen and detach it. I am doing screen -d -m MyScreen [23:21] but it doesn't create it [23:22] rapture, baring that, I wold remove mysql, then reinstall it forst, then follow up with the mythtv install process again. Makign sure you have MySQL runnign at boot before installing yout TV backend. [23:23] checksums are different........FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU [23:23] now i go bash head into wall while i redownload the iso === ascott_ is now known as ascott_lt [23:24] KE1HA, according to that thread I should have something at /etc/rcx.d but there's nothing there [23:24] rapture, then tha's a problem all into itself, as thats you server / service boot sequence [23:24] lol === XyliosPC1 is now known as Xylios [23:25] What Distro dod you Install 10.04 Desktop ? [23:25] oopd did [23:25] this is quite off topic, but anybody know how i would check to see if my machine is sending out any suspicious data? i'm experimenting with a suspicious custom OS distro [23:25] 10.04 x86 [23:25] ok, and how did you install MySQL, from the command line of Package mANAGER ? [23:25] .. or Package Manager .. [23:26] hi to all [23:26] i'm trying to build an xscale toolchain and it needs gcc3, what's the best way of getting it? [23:26] KE1HA, it was either via apt-get or synaptic, does it make a difference? === sasa_ is now known as HTC [23:27] No, not really, but in the commandline, there's more chance fer Error. Go to the package manager, and Un-Install MySQL and your Frontend + Backend, then let me know when that's done. [23:28] no, wait, I recall I already tried that [23:28] jalal_, sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 or go to the package manager and install. [23:28] I reinstalled mysql in synaptic (well, uninstalled, then reinstalled) [23:29] ok, and did you run the update-rc.d again after installing the second time? [23:30] I don't see gcc-3.4, earliest version i can see is 4.1 [23:30] yep [23:30] also, you have to start it, and add a suer to it. [23:30] hi [23:30] hi ! anyone has tuxonice working with ubuntu karmic ? [23:30] suer? [23:30] jalal_, http://www.astahost.com/info.php/ubuntu-install-compilers_t18742.html [23:30] super? User? [23:31] Yes, sudo is a must dfor service / servers [23:31] I've a serious problem. I cannot connect to the internet via wifi. My wifi card gets detected I can see networks in the network-manager's list. I can try to connect to them. But even though the password is correct it keeps asking for the password.. [23:31] KE1HA that link in't relevant to 10.04 [23:31] so, what am I supposed to do with update-rc.d then? [23:31] Once it's started and the users added, do your update-rc.d again, as sudo [23:31] The process is the same. [23:31] [ubuntu] Network Manager keeps asking for password [23:31] will ubuntu pickup my macbook lid-close sensor? i have a water damaged mac (lid sensor) and need to recover work from my HDD [23:31] even though it IS correct [23:32] But gcc 3 isn't in the repos in 10.04 [23:32] no one can help with tuxonice on ubuntu pls ? [23:32] if I remove mysql, will I permanently lose my database? [23:32] I have a 15m cable around here now, that sucks! [23:32] any help with ubuntu on a macbook? [23:32] Ok, geeze thought crowd today :-) Here's the revert: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110865 [23:32] hardware related [23:33] davvo: which macbook? [23:33] What is the program that will take all your custom themes, settings, files, and everything else and make it into an ISO so if you have to reinstall or move to another machine you won't lose your data? [23:33] okay good [23:33] white macbook, Core 2 [23:33] :( I'm so frustrated, because I've been trying to make it work since last week! [23:33] no success [23:33] davvo: which model, I must ask [23:33] davvo: wait [23:34] wait there ill have a look [23:34] davvo: sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name [23:34] its currently water damaged i cannot access OSX [23:34] as far as i know its a Apple MC240B/A MacBook / Core 2 Duo [23:35] davvo: Water damaged!!? [23:35] oh dear [23:35] UkeKun, a compiler is a compiler, it doent' really care what Distro it is as long as the tool-shain is there to support it. [23:35] davvo: but that command is for ubuntu [23:35] i just need to know... [23:35] how can i boot ubuntu or any other linux distro so that it wont respond to the lid sensor [23:36] cause i think that is what i have fried [23:36] davvo: ah, you can't even turn it on? [23:36] KE1HA, so UkeKun can take all your settings, custom themes, files, and all that and compile it into an ISO so you can reinstall or move to another machine without losing data? [23:36] hope somebuddy can help me on this [23:36] Where's the soundfont Ubuntu uses and what format is it? [23:36] yeah it will turn on, but it standbys as soon as OSX (10.6) is loaded [23:36] I've seen no solution to this problem anywhere. and I have 10.04 [23:36] or even OSX setup [23:36] how to list aviable interfaces form script level? like list sort of "ppp0 eth0 eth1 lo" ? [23:37] i need a linux distro, or some booting options that will load linux with the sensors disabled - if possible [23:37] just so i can access my HD and get my uni work [23:37] mnaines, pass, dont know aboiut that one. [23:37] how to list all available network interfaces form script level? like list sort of "ppp0 eth0 eth1 lo" ? [23:37] davvo if you have another pc with sata you can just put the hdd straight into there [23:37] ugh, I'm done trying to fix this tonight. I keep getting sent in circles. I shall renew my efforts tomorrow. [23:38] and then use transmac [23:38] if its windows [23:38] davvp: well, you just pop the CD in and should work [23:38] yeah windows or linux :) [23:38] ok looks like my last option [23:38] mnaines, I suppose you could put them all into a folder and compile it that way, sure, or find a backup app and select what you want to back up. [23:38] yeah thats great thanks guys, appreciated [23:38] :) [23:39] davvo: why is it you can not start a live cd [23:39] ? [23:39] anyone here happen to have a working arm-xscale toolchain installed, only need it to compile redboot to fix my bricked router and i've had no luck for the past 5 hours trying to compile one [23:39] as soon as linux boots, i get a black screen and the system stalls - debian, ubuntu and knoppix ive tried [23:39] davvo: HUH [23:39] well lmsensors isnt the best on the block to begin with, so no worries botu disabling sensor detection :-) [23:39] davvo: hey.... WAIT [23:40] davvo you might want to dry disabling acpi if its the lid sensor [23:40] right... [23:40] :) [23:40] boot options? [23:40] davvo: acpi=off [23:40] that fixed mine [23:41] fantastic :) [23:41] it seems it's the same as mine, but I can't read the MC#### string any more [23:41] i mean if that doesnt work i dont mind taking the HD out (again) as my warranties void anyway!! [23:41] i thought the macbooks had relatively user-replaceable hdds [23:41] i guess not [23:42] anything's better than how the ibook was though i guess [23:42] UkeKun: depends on model === lulz is now known as Guest39800 [23:42] its more money im worried about atm [23:42] i dont mind fiddling with windows - linux PCs [23:42] davvo: have you tried acpi=off yet? [23:42] davvo, just FYI, there is a bug regarding the Black Screen On Boot issue. [23:42] KE1HA: indeed [23:43] your options are: [23:43] disable ACPI (acpi=off) [23:43] disable second core (nosmp) [23:43] or at least for Ubuntu [23:43] KE1HA: it's on the kernel bug tracker [23:43] or [23:43] what I did [23:43] asking again, anyone with an arm-xscale toolchain i'm desperately in need of one thing compiling to fix a bricked router so pm if you can help [23:43] since I didn't want those off [23:43] hello [23:44] right :) ok, im looking for my power chord! :D [23:44] haha [23:44] get grub-efi-amd64 and do a very long procedure, since that blank screen problem is not present when booting from EFI [23:44] now [23:44] you probably don't want to do the last one [23:44] UkeKun, I found somethign on 9.04 Gnuarm: http://blog.nutaksas.com/2009/05/installing-gnuarm-arm-toolchain-on.html [23:44] yeah [23:45] davvo: it's just for recovery, right? [23:45] just do acpi=off [23:45] i mean its werid, because OSX load and then sleeps straight away - hardware wise are there any other reasons why that would happen [23:45] I've not used it, so dont know fer sure if that will work for you. [23:45] yeah its just for recovery [23:45] KE1HA i think that's the wrong endianness for the xscale [23:45] have you tried Apple+S when the Apple logo shows up? [23:45] rr, Im not an ARM expert fer sure. [23:45] it will start OS X in Verbose mode [23:45] right, no i havnt i tried hardware test and setup [23:46] nobuddyy? [23:46] aka D on start up [23:46] I might be of help if you tell me the last thing you see [23:46] davvo: it's not actually a hardware test [23:46] isnt it? [23:46] UkeKun, here's one fer an xscal cros-compiler: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-programming-scripting/145733-building-xscale-cross-compiler-problems.html [23:46] memory checker? [23:46] davvo: it's like booting ubuntu without plymouth [23:47] davvo: it just means, instead of seeing the spinning "Intermediate Progress Bar" wheel and the grey apple [23:47] i mean, if i can boot OSX at the most minimal level..... [23:47] davvo: you'll see a white-on-black text console with the kernel's wise sayings [23:47] same with ubuntu [23:47] Maybe those guys have some insite for you UkeKun [23:47] davvo: but will boot straight to OSX [23:47] KE1HA I saw that when I was looking earlier, it doesn't give any useful information he just ends up saying he couldn't successfully compile glibc [23:48] I have a new install of ubuntu amd64 on my HP AMD athlon quad core computer and when I boot it up and it goes to the login screen the computer locks up any ideas? [23:48] rrr .. you may be stuck in google madness fer a while on this one. [23:48] right ok, im gonna have to try this later i think ive left my power adapter at my girlfriends AND just because life is fantastic my batterys now dry [23:48] davvo if you can get OSX with no video output then you can use SFTP to get your files off [23:48] right yeah that sounds good [23:48] googling my problem says it is n nvidia driver issue? [23:49] UkeKun: he's saying that it goes to sleep [23:49] it standbys [23:49] hey guys, I'm having a problem with xpad [23:49] mikeru do macbooks have wake on lan at all :P [23:49] I have it installed, but it isn't letting my 360 controller work? [23:49] davvo: if the power LED is fading, then it is indeed in sleep-standby [23:49] hi i need to uninstall these gostwares but i am getting error . I am not able to install and uninstall any app on my system these are the errors : http://pastebin.com/R0XkbY2A [23:49] yep [23:49] UkeKun: they do, but it's disabled by default [23:49] davvo: in that case, SFTP will do no good. [23:50] OSX stays on (log in screen) for about 2 - 10 seconds [23:50] then sleeps [23:50] davvo: AH- [23:50] as i say - water damaged [23:50] I think [23:50] maybe [23:50] and then - just maybe [23:50] whatever checks if the lid is closed was water damaged [23:50] I have a lexmark x5400 series, any idea where I can get a driver that will do more than spit paper at me? [23:50] and so os x goes to sleep [23:50] yep! [23:51] what im hoping is - i can try all these things out just so i can access my hard drive at admin level so i can backup, delete card numbers, then send my lappy off to repair [23:51] davvo: hmm [23:51] lemme think [23:52] i have been offered to borrow a macbook from someone but that wont be for a while [23:52] the quicker i get this off to repair the better :) [23:52] KE1HA I would try getting an old version of ubuntu and compile the toolchain there but the only internet on my desktop is an N-wireless card that's only been supported properly (no random drops) in 10.04 [23:53] davvo: sorry I'm not in OS X and I don't have the time to go there [23:53] davvo: try backuping with ubuntu live cd [23:53] don't worry, apprciated [23:53] whiteknight, Lexmark is one of the most Un-Linux Friendly printers availble. I've not found too many sucess stories regarding drivers. HP on the other hand,, Supports Linux well. [23:53] ok, using acpi-off ?
