[00:00] how do i manage parts in linux [00:00] ? [00:00] wthpr0: your MAC never changes [00:00] wthpr0 cancel the lease on the IP, if you are allowed that control [00:00] jj, what do you mean? [00:00] wisshund: no i'm not [00:00] as in like in windows u have diskmgmt.msc [00:00] jj_ like resize etc? gparted [00:00] gparted tnx [00:00] oh, partitions [00:00] at first i thought you meant ports [00:00] SoldOut: i know but i can change it so that the isps dhcp server think it's a new computer [00:01] wthpr0 all you can do then wthpr0 is release the IP but no guarantees you dont get it right back [00:01] wthpr0: ok but why? [00:01] Anybody here [00:01] Wisshund: no i tryed that [00:01] wthpr0 the MAC address is a number burned into the NIC permanantly, like a serial number [00:01] soldout: becuse I want a difrent of the 5 ips (A) [00:02] Is there a program i can use that supports secondary monitor through composite video , s-video [00:02] theres some commands that can change the mac.. buit ive never needed to use it. [00:02] ubuntu 10.04 cant find where to change screen size [00:02] jj_: You don't need Ubuntu Server to test on another partition. Just install the serving-programs you are interested in in your current installation. Server if I may be wrong also, doesn't even come with a graphical environment - it's all command line! (I very well could be wrong on that) [00:02] wthpr0 so dont use DHCP, just hard set to one of the 5 ips? [00:02] john38: my nvidia cards do that. same as if it was a normal monitor. [00:02] headkase314 you are correct [00:02] headkase314: you are correct [00:02] wthpr0: not sure what you mean every card has its own permant MAC address [00:02] Dr_Willis, i got Ati card [00:02] heh [00:02] Dr_Willis, any idea how I can unlock the enclosing drive for the volume? [00:02] Ah ATI [00:03] Wiesshund: i don't know what they are, they are dynamic [00:03] john38: you have my deepest sympathy.. :) [00:03] wthpr0: not sure what you mean but* every card has its own permant MAC address [00:03] anyone able to get dual-screens on ATI radeon x1400? [00:03] boscop: im not sure what you mean. [00:03] Dr_Willis, damn [00:03] wthpr0 they are private IPs yes? like 182.168.0.1 [00:03] SoldOut: yes i know but you can still change it ^^ atlest you can that under windows, haven't tryed under *nix [00:03] Dr_Willis, which program do you use with your nvidia [00:03] wthpr0 er 192...... [00:03] can any one help me to install network manager on backtrack4 [00:04] ugh. I'm not sure I like detatching. [00:04] pleas [00:04] john38: assuming you've already tried System -> Preferences -> Monitors ? [00:04] I think I just want them all in one screen [00:04] wthpr0: why the need to change it ? [00:04] john38: nvidia has the 'nvidia-settings' tool to enable such things. the sviodeo out works same as any other 'output' as if it was a pc monitor. [00:04] chrissharp123, yes [00:04] mostafa: /join #backtrack-linux [00:04] Wiesshund: it's ips from my isp not from my own dhcp server [00:04] Dr_Willis, it says "The enclosing drive for the volume is locked." so I need to unlock the enclosing drive for the volume somehow :) [00:04] john38: with this card i cant do 2 monitors + the svideo out however. it can only do 2 total. [00:04] wthpr0 Live or private IP's? [00:05] Dr_Willis, so im outa luck [00:05] Wisshund: live [00:05] john38: i dont use ati. so no idea. [00:05] I had no trouble with monitor #1 on ati [00:05] it's #2 that's giving me hell [00:05] wthpr0 your sure bout that? usualy you get static when you buy live IP's [00:05] (actually, it's not working.) [00:05] where does gparted install to after you do sudo apt-get install gparted [00:05] jj_: You don't need Ubuntu Server to test on another partition. Just install the serving-programs you are interested in in your current installation. Server if I may be wrong also, doesn't even come with a graphical environment - it's all command line! (I very well could be wrong on that) [00:05] how do i make xchat automatically ident my nick and log into #ubuntu? [00:05] jj_ its in the start menu but i forget which tab [00:05] AviMarcus, my tv only supports S-video and composite video [00:05] jj_: it installs to the system in the proper directories where it belongs.. [00:06] Wissman: yes but i got the without buying them :) [00:06] jj_: if you cant find its icon. run it via terminal [00:06] headkase314, you are correct [00:06] AviMarcus, as well my video supports s-video composite video [00:06] its not in system tab [00:06] :( [00:06] blitzo: xcchat has a 'on join' setting to run specific commands. [00:06] AviMarcus, video card [00:06] or anyother tab [00:06] wthpr0: and even if you do change it it still has to be valid [00:06] jj_: run it from terminal. your menus havent refreshed most likely [00:06] i did [00:06] sorry [00:06] how ? [00:07] jj_: Just want to make sure you know what gparted is for: It is for resizing your partitions. How that gets you closer to your goal of installing from the disc image you can't burn right now I just don't see. [00:07] SoldOut: yes that's true [00:07] jj_: 'gksudo gparted' it has to be ran as root anyway [00:07] Dr_Willis, and where would i find that setting? i've scoured the menus [00:07] wthpr0 reason i am asking is usualy dynamic IPs are private. if your computers ip is 192. or 10. etc its none live, whats ifconfig show for ip? 1st 3 digits [00:07] blitzo: this is xchat or xchat gnome? [00:07] becuase when installed linux to get rid of windows i used whole drive [00:07] not i need to split it [00:07] but... do you think the isps dhcp server looks for only valide mac adresses ? [00:07] wthpr0: so why do you need to change it? [00:07] I've installed a few packages that aren't showing up in the applications list. How do I find them..? [00:07] blitzo: i dont even have xchat installed.. i know it can do it.. i used xchat for years and had it auto-identify [00:07] Dr_Willis, xchat gnome i assume [00:08] jj_: So after you resize your partitions, what is the next step? [00:08] blitzo: i dont use xchat-0gnome. so no idea. [00:08] wthpr0: the ISP's dhcp server doesnt care about your system's MAC address [00:08] wthpr0: if you're behind a router, it sees the router [00:08] who is an "expert" with wifi hear? [00:08] wthpr0 the ISP cant see your mac addy, your router does [00:08] install server to cd then install on 2nd parttion [00:08] yes i know :P but the linux box is the router :P [00:08] Dr_Willis, i'll have to rtfm! zounds! [00:08] EvilPhoenix: that was my point! [00:09] jj_: You are aware that Ubuntu Server does not come with a graphical desktop - it is all command line? [00:09] wthpr0: then the linux box should assign INTERNAL NETWORK IPs, such as 192.168.1.somethign to each system [00:09] ubuntu 10.04 where do i find the xorg file to edit screen sise [00:09] size [00:09] wthpr0: then each individual system has access to the ONE IP sent to your box [00:09] er router box [00:09] yeh y ? [00:09] EvilPhenix: yes it dose ... [00:09] wthpr0: in essence... === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [00:09] jj_: And all the serving programs can be installed in your current installation which *does* have a graphical desktop!? [00:09] wthpr0: your ISP NEVER SHOULD SEE the MAC address for the individual systems on your network [00:10] jj_ if you run without a gui you have to understand linux really well [00:10] Dr_Willis, what is ati radeon x1900 equivalent to nvidia [00:10] wthpr0: it will ONLY SEE the router box you have [00:10] ummm [00:10] wthpr0: so the other 5 IPs you have need to be set by networking settings [00:10] thinks i dont know linux that well atm [00:10] wthpr0: or by individual connections nto your ISP [00:10] #:( [00:10] john38: no idea. I dont bother to even read about new nvidia cards. Check teh various video card revi3ew sites. [00:10] wthpr0 you have an ISP router someplace [00:10] EvilPhenix: but i want to have another live ip and the i need to change the ip of my router and that is why i want to change the mac adress on the ubuntubox so that the isps dhcp server gives me a new ip [00:10] jj_ you need to be intimate with all the command line stuff [00:10] which skype distro do I want? it said "ubuntu 10.10", which well, didn't work.. [00:10] wthpr0: your router wont have a MAC [00:10] wthpr0: you can't change the MAC address [00:10] i can run install make configure [00:10] jj_: you may want to clarify your 'needs' and let us suggest what you should be doing. [00:11] jj_: First steps, you can install the serving programs in your current install: what are you interested in? [00:11] Anybody here know the ati radeon x1900 equivalent to nvidia [00:11] AviMarcus, 32 or 64 bit? [00:11] wthpr0: you PHYSICALLY CANNOT CHANGE the MAC address [00:11] EvilPhoenix: you sure ? you can under windows [00:11] ok their is 1475 people hear and not a one of you no anything about why my copmuter is doing this? [00:11] wthpr0: you can try and SPOOF a different Mac address [00:11] blitzo: 32 [00:11] wthpr0 what does ifconfig say on your PC ? [00:11] wthpr0: but you can't physically change the MAC address burned into the NIC [00:11] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ [00:11] headkase314, i am looking for server hosting for clients to host webshosting and unrealircd also webhosting [00:11] hey everyone... [00:11] You can change it in software.. but a reboot and its back to its old setting [00:11] can someone explain to me how to do a dual boot betweeen win7 and ubuntu? [00:11] no ofc not:P but you can change what the OS is sending :p [00:11] wthpr0, i change mac addy on my router all the time - what are you trying to accomplish? [00:11] withc i already have clients in windows sever [00:12] i would need to migrate [00:12] hi everybody [00:12] blitzo: to get a new ip from my isp [00:12] jj_: Okay, I'm not helpful for that so we'll let anyone else guide you from here! Hopefully we just saved a lot of frustration for you! ;) [00:12] Im using ybuntu 10 [00:12] my hd is only like 220 gigs... [00:12] wthpr0: what are you actually to acheive? [00:12] canbrais: just ask them [00:12] canbrais: and...? [00:12] wthpr0 would you answer the question? [00:12] soldout: to get a new ip [00:12] !ask [00:12] 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. :-) [00:12] ubuntu 10 and when i want to use a certain program it gives me a error [00:12] Anybody here know the ati radeon x1900 equivalent to nvidia [00:13] canbrais: i have an error with java. ................. then give error [00:13] !details | canbrais [00:13] canbrais: 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 ..." [00:13] wthpr0, access your router - most of them have an option to change the mac. do so, save it, and if you have cable you'll need to reboot your cable modem [00:13] yes it is canbrais [00:13] wthpr0: on every reboot? [00:13] hi can u help me to install network manger on backtrack 4 [00:13] bitzo: the router is a ubuntu computer [00:13] neways ttfn talk tomoz :) [00:13] nx for your help [00:13] tnx* [00:13] wthpr0 no its not, the ubuntu computer is plugged into a router [00:14] I have a problem, I just activated viritiual name server on my server and that works great, have several sites now working under the www folder.

[00:15] wthpr0 192 is NOT a live IP address is a private I address [00:15] and eth1 [00:15] wisshund: 213 [00:15] john38: An ati radeon x1900 is about an nVidia 8800 [00:16] it's 213 on eth0 and 192 on eth1 as i said [00:16] headkase314, ok [00:16] Not exact, I can dig up a link if you can wait a moment? [00:16] wthpr0 oh, my bad, youve got the isp on eth1 [00:16] ^john38 [00:17] wthpr0, i know there is a way to do that - lemme do some digging [00:17] wisshund: look i'm not that stuped i know a difrens betwin a live and a local adress and btw 192.*.*.* can be a live adress but 192.160.*.* can not [00:17] Dr_Willis, if i had nvidia i could do primary monitor DVI and secondary monitor S-video? [00:17] wthpr0: so why need to change your mac address? [00:17] wthpr0 dumb question but why do you need to change the IP its getting? [00:18] canbrais: www.imagebin.ca [00:18] wiesshund: want to download more from megaupload :P [00:18] t http://imagebin.ca/view/vEKBldTh.html [00:18] wthpr0 and like i said before, just static IP the machine to an address under or over the one it keeps being handed [00:18] here is the error? [00:18] headkase314, i think thats about right [00:18] please have a look [00:18] john38: ok then ;) [00:18] wthpr0, try this http://www.techvivid.com/2010/07/how-to-change-mac-address-in-ubuntu-10-04-lts/ [00:18] I can here the sound and see the picture but keep getting thi msg? [00:19] wthpr0: just use macchanger! [00:19] Wiessman: yes i tryed that but it gives me total random numbers, oneday it can be 213.221.6.123 adn the next can be 214.222.125.321 [00:19] wthpr0: do you really need to change your ip address to download more from megaupload? [00:20] Wiesshund, i have need to change the ip my isp hands me with dhcp all the time - there are many reasons he might want that, why isn't relevent to how [00:20] wthpr0: machanger let you decide what mac you want [00:20] i have an error with java in ubuntu it seems to work ok but i get this error from tome to time http://imagebin.ca/view/vEKBldTh.html [00:20] soldout: ty mand :D [00:20] man* [00:21] wthpr0: manchanger?

[00:22] any ideas please [00:22] i need to get this java sorted out [00:23] its for my studes [00:23] wthpr0: didnt understand that last one [00:23] Sir_Konrad: You'll have to use the built-in open-source ones, proprietary doesn't support hardware that old anymore unless you install and go back to like ubuntu 7 [00:23] headkase314: wow ok. [00:23] what is the best panel dock? i have tried cairo-dock (crashes every 5 mins), docky (jerky animation, short on features) and awn (kinda buggy and a pain to add launchers) [00:24] Sir_Konrad: It's because driver support was discontinued in the proprietary drivers and stuff like the X server has changed too much since those were current. [00:24] hi all, i installed 10.4 a couple of days ago. I'm running the latest .24 kernel. Often when the machine boots, it hanges on the screen showing the kubuntu logo with those dots not moving. I had to restart the machine 6 times then it booted fine. Installed on a new laptop. any thoughts ? [00:24] wthpr0: try again! [00:24] I use awn - have no trouble with it here [00:24] Hey all, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 after a fresh Windows 7 install with Ubuntu on a 100GB drive and Win7 on a separate 500GB drive; Win7 worked when it was the only OS, but when I installed Ubuntu on the second drive, GRUB didn't automagically add Win7 (because it's on another drive maybe?). The partition is still there, how do I add it to GRUB (I'm not familiar with GRUB2)? [00:24] i have an error with java in ubuntu it seems to work ok but i get this error from tome to time http://imagebin.ca/view/vEKBldTh.html [00:24] CountDuckula, i created 2 launchers and when i tried to set the icon it changed both of them to the same thing === desti_T2 is now known as desti [00:25] Dr_Willis, if i had nvidia i could do primary monitor DVI and secondary monitor S-video? [00:26] CountDuckula, is there a way in awn for each launcher to have its own indivual icon? or do all launchers have to have the same icon? [00:26] guys if i have a question about a router and networking and stuff like that is here the right spot or i have to search help elsewhee [00:26] hdtdi, just ask and find out [00:27] blitzo: any sugs for the 32bit skype? [00:27] hdtdi: everytime you phrase a question, you learn to better describe it and sometimes find the solution yourself [00:27] AviMarcus, sorry - got lost in asking & answering ques - hang on i have a url bookmarked on that [00:28] blitzo: i just open up settings and from task manager section > click add button and it doe it fine for me [00:28] Hello, does anyone know if it is possible for me to easily upgrade my Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit to 64-bit easily [00:28] blip-: especially when the questions aren't about computers, but about life :) [00:29] so i hade a arcor (germany) router, and i switch to o2 and now i have Zyxel o2 router classic. but the thing is i cant port forward AND no wireless.. is there a way to connect the 2 routers .. so that i have wireless from the second router and i guess i cant forward the port === corally is now known as wthpr0 [00:29] how to add repositries in ubuntu 10.04 [00:29] hey guys, what is the APT-GET command to install XFCE on a Ubuntu system? [00:29] blitzo: im using a PPA install of awn - no the default one from synaptic [00:29] saegeoff: I think you would spend so much time sorting out the issues that if would just be easier to install clean 64-bit.. [00:29] sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner” <- this command is not correct [00:29] CountDuckula, i can add an icon - but it changes all of my custom launchers to the same icon, and if i remove the icon from one custom launcher it removes the icon for all of them [00:29] why does mount.ntfs-3g consume 30% cpu?? [00:30] !repositories | meowbuntu [00:30] meowbuntu: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:30] constantly [00:30] meowbuntu: it's apt-add-repository [00:30] blitzo: yeah shoudn't do that - let me find the PPA link that I installed from [00:30] headkase314: That is what I figured, I just didn't know if anyone figured out an easy solution. [00:31] saegeoff: How much memory does your system have, of all the factors that is the most important one to base a 64-bit decision on? === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [00:31] hello [00:31] boscop: depends on what you're using your external drive for (I'm assuming you have one) [00:31] AviMarcus, i used these directions to install skype http://linux.dipin.info/2010/01/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-1004.html - you can either add the repo or you can do it manually [00:32] AviMarcus, what error do you get? [00:32] hdtdi: in case you don't get an answer here, you may want to try ##hardware and ##networking [00:32] saegeoff: I've read the numbers that: on average 64-bit executables (not their data) are 9% bigger and give you a 3-4% performance increase. But having 4GB or more memory in your system should be what makes the decision. [00:32] chrissharp123, I'm not doing anything with it (reading, writing etc) right now [00:32] nobody portuguese where? :P [00:32] just that it was corrupted, blitzo [00:32] it just idles [00:33] AviMarcus, can you be more specific what you did and what error you got? [00:33] somebody tried to configure intel mobile 965 with ubuntu 10.04? :\ im trying since 2 days :\ [00:34] blitzo: try this link http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/awn-lucido-gets-its-own-ppa.html [00:34] blitzo: I downloaded from the skype webisite, closest thing was "ubuntu 10.10 32bit" It's a .deb, it ran, and gdebi-gtk window pops up saysing "could not open.. the package might be corruped or you are not allowsed to open the file. Check the permission of the file." [00:34] boscop: could be indexing... depending on the size of the data on there, the "locate" database may be updating and take a long time [00:35] chrissharp123, how can I stop locate from doing that? I never use it [00:35] Sir_Konrad, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ? [00:35] boscop: don't know - I think it's a system cron job?? [00:35] blitzo: i think you have to remove current awn install before install this version [00:35] JoeMaverickSett: yeah, figured it out. thanks though. ;) [00:35] blitzo: it's downloading exactly the same file again. well, maybe it was the dependencies. [00:35] AviMarcus, do "sudo apt-get remove --purge skype" then follow the directions at http://linux.dipin.info/2010/05/install-skype-in-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx.html [00:35] it was that command. [00:36] chrissharp123, what if I kill it? [00:36] boscop: (*if* that's the cause of your issue, of course) [00:36] Sir_Konrad, alright, mate. [00:36] boscop: do you see it running? [00:36] ? in ubuntu 10.04 what package do i use to change screen size [00:36] chrissharp123, nothing with 'locate' in the name [00:36] JoeMaverickSett: on Ubuntu on an older system (P4). AWFUL SLOW. [00:36] CountDuckula, i have learned to always remove before reinstalling :) [00:36] so I think XFCE will work. [00:36] in top it would be something like 'mlocate.db; [00:37] Sir_Konrad, ooops! yup it might! =D [00:37] ahh someone know how to configure intel mobile 965 on ubuntu pls? :\ [00:37] Package skype is not installed, so not removed [00:37] unclemike: System > Preferences > Monitors for the generic one or look for either an nVidia or Ati control applet if you are using those proprietary drivers. [00:37] blitzo: ah good :) [00:37] JoeMaverickSett: LOL! Slow Ubuntu is better than fast XP though! LO [00:37] * :P [00:38] Sir_Konrad, haha! you a big fun of Linux/Ubuntu,eh? [00:38] can i somehow play starcraft2 inside ubuntu? will it work under wine or anything? [00:38] My ubuntu is slower than windows vista =( [00:38] @Tapout I'd check WineHQ for that.

[00:40] well, blitzo it installed and is signing in now.

[00:44] unclemike: Ok then, there will be an nVidia control applet somewhere under the System menu, either in Preferences or Administration - I don't know which, I'm Ati - and once you find it it should let you control the resolution. [00:44] can somebody help to me from where can i download fonts and scripts for conky?? [00:44] ThomasB2k: yup. [00:44] linux suxx [00:44] ctcp: then LEAVE.

[00:47] can somebody help to me from where can i download fonts and scripts for conky?? [00:47] ricardoavelar96, Not bebore, I need someone who is ısing at the moment. There's a problem with something under Karmic. [00:47] I have already reinstalled the stupid driver three times [00:47] sassinoogi: Please stop with the extraneous punctuation / characters. [00:47] it will work for a while, then suddenly it goes back to not recognizing agian [00:48] I used startup manager to tell grub to log into windows with 0 countdown. How do I access grub in bootup to go back into ubuntu [00:48] spydee32: holding shift while booting will pop up the GRUB menu [00:48] Jordan_U: it got the attention I needed :) [00:48] marenostrum i dont have ubuntu since 2 days lolol so what is the problem of xchat? [00:48] --' [00:49] headkase314: ohh thanks [00:49] sassinoogi: No, it didn't. If you wait patiently and repeat yourself (but not too often) then you are likely to eventualy get an answer even if nobody responds initially. [00:49] spydee32: You're welcome, you also may just have to keep repeatedly pressing shift really fast, I hold it on my machine. [00:50] guys, someone with intel 965? nobody have this chipset on laptop? [00:50] Is ubuntu better than fedora? [00:50] yes it is [00:50] elitexray: depends on how you look at it. [00:50] i'm trying to install using wubi but when i ldoublem click on it a get a error from windows saying : exception processing messasge c0000013 parameters 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c [00:50] yeah, yeah...this girl has no patience; Ubuntu is confusing, but so worth it. I just need to understand the basics of how to get some thing to do what I want it to. I am thinking that an update may have caused this to go down [00:50] ricardoavelar96, Wassup - driver issues? [00:50] sassinoogi: What you did was make your comment harder to read quickly by the people like me who do try to read all comments, and cause people to not want to help you as much due to your lack of respect (indended or not). [00:50] elitexray: that depends on your level of expertise with both and what your intent to use it for is. [00:51] Sir_Konrad yeah you right xD [00:51] I want to do engineer work on my system [00:51] ricardoavelar96: :P [00:51] Hi I'm starting UNE but I only get a gnome session (panels, compiz, etc), anyone had this? [00:51] I just need to know which linux distro are more widely used by big gun companies [00:51] i'm trying to install using wubi but when i ldoublem click on it a get a error from windows saying : exception processing messasge c0000013 parameters 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c [00:52] elitexray: Ubuntu is billed as the OS that tries to keep it simple. Any engineering programs, if they are on Linux to begin with, will probably be available for Ubuntu. [00:52] What do gun companies have to do with UNIX? [00:52] elitexray: it depends [00:52] mroiler: Have you tried redownloading wubi? [00:52] dylantaylor, It allows them to shoot straighter. [00:52] So, RICARDOAVELAR96 and JORDAN_U....what do you think would be the prob. Last time it was my firewall--the command sudo/etc/init d/apparmor stop was my last attempt...what does that command do, exactly? [00:52] many times [00:52] can somebody help to me from where can i download fonts and scripts for conky?? [00:52] tyler82: conky homepage for starters [00:53] ricardoavelar96, Oyo...what's up with the Intel VGA you're using...? [00:53] tyler82: the gnome-look web site also has some.

[00:55] still having problems with an ati radeon x1950 in 10.04, tried to install -f fglrx and that gave me issues once i tried to open [00:55] profxavier: a os in a virtual machine can be set to appear as a a regular machine on the lan.

Openoffice doesn't run, it shows the splash screen then disappears. any thoughts ? [00:56] head, using VMware, there is an option to share drives [00:56] Hello. I Installed Lucid Lynx but I am only getting sound output in VLC media player. [00:56] So, RICARDOAVELAR96 and JORDAN_U....what do you think would be the prob. Last time it was my firewall--the command "sudo/etc/init d/apparmor stop" was my last attempt...what does that command do, exactly? Or did I write this down incorrectly, perhaps? I was told it is to remove the firewall, but it's still not printing. Now the command "sudi da-complain cupsd" was the other I was told to try--what in the heck does that do? [00:56] jordan_u: my c: is NTFS [00:57] Cocoabean, try installing closed audio driver [00:57] Dmstrdj: That hardware is not supported by the current proprietary drivers, and prop. dirvers that do support it are too out of date to use in 10.04. The only solution with 10.04 is to use the built-in open-source Ati driver for that hardware. [00:57] mroiler: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1183856 Suggests that "safely removing" empty card readers of similar devices may help. [00:57] jordan_u: thanks.

[00:57] nevermind [00:57] thanks Dr_Willis [00:58] headkase314: thats not working too good atm [00:58] john38: it doesnt tell me that any are available. Only proprietary drivers listed are for my nVidia card. [00:58] yank: what will that do to my computer? [00:58] Hey everyone [00:58] sassinoogi, That will restart the CUPS spooler [00:58] ohhh. [00:58] thanks! [00:58] sassinoogi, yer welcome mate [00:58] headkase314: so would an ealier OS be an answer? [00:58] Cocoabean, you gotta search for proprietary drivers online for your audio card [00:58] Anybody here know the pastebin link [00:59] some fonts in xchm viewer are missing, like --help comes up as ––help, any help? [00:59] I'm having an awful time with screencasting... does anyone screencast here? can you recommend quality screen casting software? [00:59] Dmstrdj: At least now you know you need the open-source drivers. If you have an install of the proprietary ones mucking with your system then execute: /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh to clear it out. [00:59] Can someone please tell me which command/program can loop through an NTFS mounted partition, writing the full location, filenames, Filesizes and type information to a txt file? [00:59] Hello. Mom had problems with the audio in FireFox's streaming video ever since she updated Ubuntu to Lucid Lynx. FireFox plays video files with audio just find when I drag-drop into it just fine. [01:00] Dmstrdj: That is only needed if they somehow installed and mucked with the system for the proprietary drivers. [01:00] headkase314: no prop drivers, i had installed a closed source and not much help [01:00] I figured my problem might be Flash. its version 9, and I read that I can install version 10, but trying to it says it can't. [01:00] Dmstrdj: Ok, from here I will refer you back to everyone as I lack the experience ;) [01:01] headkase314: cool, thanks [01:01] Cocoabean, then you'll probably have to end up compiling it [01:01] Dmstrdj: You're welcome! [01:01] Having trouble with an "alternate" install of Xubuntu 10.04 on a very old PC. After going through the entire install, I get "error: unknown filesystem." and a grub rescue prompt. Current partitioning is /dev/sda1 = 300 MB, bootable, ext3 (or 4) mounted at /boot, /dev/sda2 = 3G swap, /dev/sda3 = 70+GB ext4 mounted at /. Grub installed to /dev/sda. [01:01] yank: It didn't work...now it simply stops my que completely. [01:01] Can someone please tell me which command/program can loop through an NTFS mounted partition, writing the full location, filenames, Filesizes and type information of each file to a txt file? [01:01] sosaited: check out tree maybe [01:02] tree -f will get you the full location, sosaited [01:02] texastwister, Um....have to checked to make sure the drive (the CDROM/DVDROM) is clean and the disk you're using is clean? [01:02] john38: that's strange because ive used the same driver on another debian distro on this same computer [01:02] texastwister: Do you have more than one hard drive? [01:02] trying to install flash I get this: Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [01:02] sosaited: I believe find can be used to do that as well. [01:03] a simple > file.txt will write each line to the file if I use tree? [01:03] hi guys! really need help writing a script, please. would really appreciate it if anyone has some time to PM?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [01:03] YankDownUnder: CD was used to install flawlessly on another system yesterday. Drive was fully repartitioned and reformated, is there something else you recommend? [01:03] well, oki) [01:03] Jordan_U: no, just one. [01:04] FishieFoo: that means you need to add the repository [01:04] Dmstrdj: Reading more carefully, you said "i had installed a closed source.." What was that? From Hardware Drivers? [01:04] texastwister, The reader. The CDROM drive itself. More than a few times I've run into the same crap, only to find that the CDROM drive itself was cactus and needed cleaning...after cleaning, installation went heaps better...just a thought [01:04] yankdownumder: It didn't work...now it simply stops my que completely. [01:05] headkase314: no i had searched and found a possiblity and it did instal fine and would not open correctly [01:05] sassinoogi, Delete whatever print jobs are in the queue. Then restart CUPS. See what happens [01:05] texastwister: Do you have any LiveCDs that your machine can comfortably boot from (or a Super GRUB2 Disk)? If you can use either of those (or the alternate CD, but it's harder with that) to run boot info script the output would be helpfull: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 [01:05] sosaited: tree -f -h M -p ~ [01:06] some characters do not show up correctly when reading a chm file, like --help comes up as ––help, what fonts do I need to install to correct this. [01:06] MaRk-I: do I need to look for a specific respository, or just change a general setting for this? [01:06] Dmstrdj: If that package was installed in any way it would probably be best to uninstall to get your system back to a known configuration. [01:06] yankdownunder: do I renter the command you just gave me? [01:06] my ubuntu crashes. help [01:06] headkase314: i did remove the package earlier [01:07] Cocoabean, that depends if its a tarball or .deb file [01:07] Dmstrdj: Ok then, we're good! ;) [01:07] sosaited: youcan specify an output file with the -o options [01:07] sassinoogi, Well, you'll have to go into SYSTEM/Administration/Printing => find the printer, delete the print jobs => then re-enter the command: sudo service cups restart [01:08] FishieFoo: hhmm if this was an upgrade check in software sources, see if any are disabled and also make sure they say "lucid" instead of the older version [01:08] lake, Why would I need the -h operator buddy? I would rather prefer a plain txt file with each line containing one file information [01:08] Jordan_U: I'll work on that -- will take a while... [01:08] I wonder how yo restart samba server on ubuntu server [01:08] I wonder how to restart samba server on ubuntu server [01:08] MBG1987: sudo service servicename restart [01:08] samba name is 'smb' i think [01:08] MBG1987: see /etc/init/ for what services are there. [01:09] yankdownunder: nope; I am so sorry. It didn't work. [01:09] smbd.conf [01:09] sosaited: that gives you the filesize in MB [01:09] headkase314: well sort of lol, the drivers that come in 10.04 for that card are not running it right at all, glad the board has video output [01:09] sassinoogi, Which part didn't work? [01:09] sosaited: you'll probably want to use file if you don't want a tree-type output [01:09] MBG1987: so the proper service name from looking in /etc/init is --> sudo service smbd restart [01:10] doh, "find" sosaited [01:10] the actual printing [01:10] john38: I'm using the snd-intel8x0 module on two systems. On ubuntu with pulseaudio it doesnt seem to work. On Debian with the same snd-intel8x0 driver it works fine under alsa. However, VLC does output audio on ubuntu somehow. [01:10] sassinoogi, Have you tried to delete the printer and re-install the printer? [01:10] CountDuckula, it was necessary to not only do apt-get remove --purge (all the awn files) but to hunt down all the config files in my home dir and delete the archived debs [01:10] yeah-that was what I had to do the last two times. I just don't want to keep doing this [01:10] texastwister: If you are going to burn a boot CD I recommend Super GRUB2 Disk as it will likely allow you to boot into your installed system (and it's a small download). [01:11] sassinoogi, If you don't succeed the first time, try try again! :) [01:11] Cocoabean, dont know try asking channel for further help [01:11] sosaited: find -ls [01:11] yankdownunder: this is the kind of stuff that makes me want to switch back to windows *wink* [01:11] Jordan_U: Hope to avoid burning another disk -- don't have one at hand right now -- but I have a likely solution.. [01:12] dr_willis thanks, this message appeared when typing (service smbd restart) : "smbd start/running, process 969" what that mean [01:12] sassinoogi, If I knew the entire story, it would be easier to diagnose the issue and come up with a resolution. [01:13] Dmstrdj: have you tried to set up your xorg.conf file to use the "ati" driver explicitly? An example is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9309010&postcount=2 but don't try anything out of that unless someone else also vouches for it. [01:13] MaRk-I: sorry for being a helpless idiot, but I'm not that familiar with Ubuntu. I can't find anything in the Software Sources settings that I can guess would be related to Adobe Flash. is it unsupported that I have to enable? [01:13] dr_willis thanks, this message appeared when typing (service smbd restart) : "smbd start/running, process 969" what that mean [01:13] MBG1987: that it workt [01:13] MBG1987: that it worked* [01:13] sassinoogi, what kinda printer you useing [01:13] hiexpo:lexmark [01:14] any awn users here? [01:14] FishieFoo: gimme a sec [01:14] sassinoogi, Have you printed to this printer before? And was the printer automagically found when you installed Ubu? [01:14] blitzo: I use AWN. [01:14] wthpr8 but in ubuntu desktop it first stop then start individually ! [01:14] FishieFoo: is this 32 o 64 bit OS? [01:14] yankdownunder: [01:14] blitzo: Standard repo version, not from a PPA [01:14] lake: Thanks for both suggestions. Find command gives me too much information for my later parsing/comparing needs. I would prefer "File path|File name|File size" [01:14] MBG1987: restart is the same thing [01:14] yankdownunder: the printer was not found, had to find it, and then yes it has been printing fine [01:15] FishieFoo: Easiest way to install flash is to just search Adobe Flash in Applications > Ubuntu Software Center [01:15] headkase314: i have not done anything with the xorg file [01:15] headkase314, i have loaded awn from the ppa so i have the latest. when i want to add an applet it asks me what directory to find it in. i have not a clue where they would be. how can it list available applets and yet not know where they are? [01:15] Ah. Right. So then something in the printer queue is killing the printer...? [01:15] wthpr8, dr_willis aha i see thanks [01:15] yankdownunder: something always kills my printer queue [01:15] sassinoogi, Have you check to make sure the printer is set to 'ONLINE' instead of 'OFFLINE' ? [01:15] whats the command to restart the sshd service? [01:16] in CLI [01:16] EvilPhoenix, sudo service sshd restart [01:16] thanks [01:16] i need help remotely controlling another kde system. how do i set that up [01:16] headkase314: im a bit of a noob, so any advice is appreciated [01:16] blitzo: my AWN under the applets in preferences just has a button that opens a file-requester for installing applets. I have never done so, just used the built-in applets above it [01:16] YankDownUnder: didnt work... :/ [01:16] yankdownunder: yes, it's online [01:17] EvilPhoenix, sudo service ssh restart [01:17] EvilPhoenix, try etc/rc.d/sshd restart [01:17] sassinoogi, Is there a particular print job that is killing this queue? [01:17] yankdownunder: I have even tried a "test page" and a regular text document and a graphic--nada [01:17] How to access samba shared files between 2 ubuntu os under terminal ? [01:17] probally [01:18] lake: I tried tree as well. It is showing a weird symbol every now and then, plus I used -h K for file sizes in Kilobytes only, but it is showing in MB for larger files. And there is a lot of file permission tags at start. Any way to avoid all of this? [01:18] headkase314, i am confused - i have a list of available applets with icons and descriptions. when i select one and click on install, it asks me what directory to install the applet from BUT it shows that the applet is installed BUT the applet isn't on the dock [01:18] sassinoogi, So what, then, has either changed, been updated, been upgraded, been installed - since this last worked properly? [01:18] Jordan_U: results in http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/cSS9f1Sd [01:19] Dmstrdj: Basically you would be interested in ONLY the "Device" section of that file, started with Section "Device" and ends with EndSection. You would put it in a file called: /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then restart the X server (reboot) to see if explicitly setting the driver worked. While editing xorg.conf note what is already there, if anything, and if anything do a pastebin here so everyone can look at it. [01:19] ... hrm. ubuntu software center says adobe flash is version 10, but when I right-click about my flash window on youtube it says it's version 9. :( I also can't find any sound settings for Flash to fix this.

[01:20] blitzo: for the built-in applets you click once to select it then click the down-arrow-button to put it in your dock? [01:20] sassinoogi, Have you tried "Hardware Drivers" to see if there is an updated driver for this printer? As well, have you tried to delete the printer and then re-install it? [01:20] texastwister: From that output it looks like your /boot/ doesn't contain a /grub at all. Can you confirm that? [01:20] headkase314, i just want a seperator between applets, which is installed as an applet - when i select this from the list of available applets, awn asks me what directory to get it from - how would i know? i have not a clue [01:21] anyone who can help me to set static LAN ip address ubuntu :( [01:21] Can I invoke the graphical installer from a normal Ubuntu system? I successfully booted one of my older machines (no CD, no boot from USB) via PXE and I'd like to install Ubuntu on the HD. [01:21] Yes, looks like /boot is empty. [01:21] yankdownunder: *sigh* no, I have not reinstalled the printer since this happened. I wanted to avoid that [01:22] Anyone know how to show spaces in jedit as can be done in gedit?

[01:22] sassinoogi, Um...this should have been one of the first things to try - however, that's all good - something yet to give a go at - cuz then YOU'LL KNOW for sure that you've re-installed the printer and that you have the right driver - etc etc etc...

I am looking at different commands too in the meantime [01:24] Jordan_U: Hmmm... After unmounting and remounting, the expected contents of /boot are seen... [01:24] bash: If you do in fact have compiz running, look in ccsm>gen opts>desktop size [01:24] I turned virtual desktop # to 4 (through both compiz and the panal preferences ) and it still wont work [01:25] I tried that [01:25] blitzo: give me a second to put a screenshot together [01:25] texastwister: I think there is something wrong with this filesystem. Can you check dmesg for any IO errors, and if there are none run fsck? [01:25] what is the command to copy a folder? [01:25] simple ccsm [01:25] soreau, actually I didn't mess with that. [01:25] enable extras [01:25] MaRk-I: oops. I didn;t see your message. 32bit, I think. It's an old computer. [01:25] soreau, Its stuck on 1 [01:25] I can't change it [01:26] FishieFoo: it's ok, try reinstaling it [01:26] bash, Have you tried doing a ALT+R ARROW? [01:26] YankDownUnder, yes [01:26] bash: Number of Desktops should always be one. You need to adjust the other two [01:26] bash, Sorry, it's CTRL+ALT+RIGHT ARROW (or LEFT ARROW) [01:27] blitzo: this is what mine looks like -> http://tweetphoto.com/36325370 You can see separator highlighted and my mouse over the down-arrow-button [01:27] soreau, I change those, its set to 4 and 1 [01:27] 4 horizontal and 1 verticle [01:27] sosaited: i've gotten this far: find -printf "%p|%f|\n" [01:27] vertical* [01:27] system > pref > visual effects > custom [01:27] ya its set to that [01:27] see if its still set to that bash === darkjoker is now known as Guest18528 [01:28] bash: Are you sure compiz is running? ie what is the output of ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep ? Also, if you have desktop wall or cube enabled, does ctrl+alt+left/right arrow keys work? [01:28] headkase314, i misunderstood about the down-arrow button - i thought "install" meant to install it... ok, so it's counterintuitive but not a bug. however, i can't put a seperater between applets. the sperator will only go on the end and it cannot be moved and an iconj cannot be placed on the other side - what am i overlooking here [01:28] hola [01:28] anyone help [01:28] ?? [01:28] http://pastebin.com/fjNyEx25 [01:28] is the openmp support on line 13 disabeled?? [01:28] soreau, yes I know I have it working the plugins are working [01:28] picard1421: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:28] hola [01:28] What is this line called and how do I get rid of it in tcpdump?(marked with ***..), the command I use is tcpdumpm -vvvnlei: 02:21:38.027051 rule 1/(match) [uid 0, pid 5232] block in on xl0: 60.52.10.34.64650 > 83.229.215.52.6920: S [tcp sum ok] *****2767644241:2767644241(0)***** win 8192 soreau: how about this: find -printf "%p|%f|%s\n" [01:28] I can see the wobbly effect [01:28] line/part [01:29] soreau: my bad! wrong person [01:29] what is the command to copy a folder? [01:29] sosaited: how about this find -printf "%p|%f|%s\n" [01:29] blitzo: In the "Active Applets" part, where they go to, you should be able to drag-and-drop reorder them? [01:29] caseys: cp -r /path/to/original /path/to/copy === desti_T2 is now known as desti [01:30] I fixed it [01:30] /facepalm [01:30] I didn't turn on rotate cube [01:30] bash: If rotate cube and desktop cube are enabled, the default ctrl+alt+r/l should work. You other option is wall, but you need at least one set or the other enabled [01:30] hi Flannel [01:30] i like you [01:30] soreau, ya, I didn't turn on rotate cube [01:30] wall must be disabled [01:31] headkase314, this is majorly counterintuitive sheesh. ok i have made a launcher and i was to seperate it from my applets - you can't move a launcher to the active applets window so how do i get a seperator between my applets and my launchers [01:31] Hard to rotate the cube when it's not quite turned on...unless you've got a crowbar... [01:31] list [01:31] haha [01:32] blitzo: give one second making a screenshot. [01:32] hi guys. I want to add a script in /etc/init.d/ to startup, but only after networking is up. so how do I update-rc.d it? [01:32] Amazing Fun Fact: AWN has it's own channel! W00t! [01:32] yeah it does, ##aws [01:32] ops [01:32] you need rotate cube deskto cube both enabled [01:33] ARG!!! why does firefox say shockwave flash is version 9.0 but ubuntu software center says adobe flash is version 10?? [01:33] I hate computers. [01:33] * YankDownUnder has two monitors, two cubes, each with 8 sides! Lovely! [01:33] FishieFoo: do you have gnash or swfdec installed? [01:34] headkase314, i tried deleting all my seperators and all my launchers, then add them back in the order i want them - the launchers get mixed with applets and seperator always goes on the end and can't move the seperator and can't move launchers to the right side of the seperator - i am all out of ideas [01:34] I'm trying to create users via commands. I try the following, but when trying to log in I receive an "Authentication failure" message. `sudo useradd -c Temp -U -G users,netdev -s /bin/bash -m -p temp123 temp` [01:34] FishieFoo: Did you ever install flash manually (from Adobe's website rather than the package manager)? [01:34] blitzo: Ok, here -> http://tweetphoto.com/36326422 You put the "Launcher/TaskManger" into the dock and can only have ONE of them. Then in the Task Manager tab you drag shortcuts for the applications you want to appear in the dock. [01:34] FishFace, because the one in thr repos is really only 9 dould the 10 deb from adobe [01:34] lake: That is perfect. There is a "./" at the beginning of every line, but that is not a problem. Just one more thing, it is listing some Folder sizes as 4096, and some 0. [01:34] trism: I don't know. the audio in streaming video was working fine before they updated Ubuntu's OS [01:34] silverraindog, I already got it working [01:34] Jordan_U: I don't know how to manually install things. [01:34] ^ download the 10 deb package [01:35] FishieFoo, It's not really an Ubuntu issue - it's more an Adobe issue - and they're slower than a herd of turtles crossing a plain of peanut butter on doing anything [01:35] lake: That won't be a problem if it could add another tag for folders only, or if it could extensions of files to differentiate from Folders. [01:35] blitzo: Here's what my task-manger tab looks like -> http://tweetphoto.com/36326809 [01:35] deb package? [01:36] sosaited: i have a feeling the 0 is a file since a folder will be 4096, not completely sure atm [01:36] FishieFoo, oh you did a os upgrade? [01:36] I get ".deb package for Ubuntu 8" even though I'm on Lucid Lynx? [01:36] my sound does not work on ubuntu and a sony vaio. PLease help me. [01:37] sosaited: man find can help you with the rest :) [01:37] привет [01:37] есть кто живой? [01:37] !ru [01:37] lake: No I checked it from the File manager too, it shows some folders as 0 and some as 4KB. I think it is Linux/ntfs-3g related thing. [01:37] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [01:38] yes. an OS upgrade. [01:38] Jordan_U: Thanks for your help -- I think I'm going to give this disk a little check with spinrite before fighting it anymore. I'm seeing real flaky results -- sometimes it mounts and contents are viewable, other times not... [01:38] lake: Yeah I am going to look into that now. Thanks a lot man. [01:38] I'm running of a Live CD and I tried to chroot into a ubuntu filesystem partition on my internal drive that I have mounted at /mnt with $sudo chroot /mnt but I get "chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error" [01:38] headkase314, where is it getting all those extra applets from? i didn't have those even before i got it from the ppa. but still, i have followed all the directions and cannot figure out a way to get a seperator between applets and launchers - there just doesn't seem to be any possible way [01:38] !ru [01:38] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [01:38] sosaited: it's either %y or %Y for a filetype (they appear differently) === neeraj_gupta is now known as neeraj [01:38] blitzo: If you are using the lucindo? version then I know those effects are done by using multiple separators next to each other? === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [01:39] sosaited: no problem -- i learned all that just now! teach to teach yourself ftw! [01:39] ubuntu-es [01:39] blitzo: within the launcher, that item can't have separators. [01:40] can I install Flash for Ubuntu 8 on a later version of Ubuntu 10 Lucid Lynx? [01:40] blitzo: launcher/task-manager applet [01:40] Suit_Of_Sables: Are you using a 32 bit liveCD to try to chroot into a 64 bit install? [01:40] Hey guys, my ubuntu 10.4 constantly crashes. I suspect this is happening due to the standard display drivers. Is there a way to increase the verbosity of the kernel without recompiling it so I could check what crashes exactly? [01:40] FishieFoo, are you 32 or 64 bit [01:40] 32, I think. old PC [01:41] lake: Can I somehow use -size K as a replacement for %s? . [01:41] FishieFoo, but did anos upgrade to 10.04 right [01:41] Jordan_U: both are 64bit I believe [01:41] hiexpo: anos? [01:42] hiexpo: Ubuntu is updated to 10.04, yes. [01:42] FishieFoo, an operating system upgrade > sorry [01:42] sosaited: hm, not sure [01:42] Suit_Of_Sables: Check with "uname -a". [01:43] lake: Never mind. the %y is perfect. I can convert the bytes to Kbytes later. Once again, thanks man. You saved me a lot of time :) [01:43] Jordan_U: lame.... they sent me a 32bit live CD.... [01:43] man, I should just tell my mom to never update the computer. this is such a PITA. [01:43] how can I debug a crashing ubuntu? [01:43] Suit_Of_Sables: And with your earlier question I highly recommend using pure GPT rather than GPT MBR hybrid with gptsync. [01:43] tommy2: crashing how? [01:43] sosaited: no problem, happy to help [01:43] [describing the symptoms goes a long way towards figuring out what is crashing] [01:43] Suit_Of_Sables: Unless you want to also boot windows. [01:44] Hi, Is there a way to have restricted drivers, primarily the broadcom wifi driver work from a live cd and include along with a base install.. Got a chicken and the egg problem with only having access to wifi and not being able to enable and download Internet from a new install.. I imagine this would include downloading the driver seperate and merging with the ISO? [01:44] do I need to find a way to get Ubuntu to a lower version, assuming that's not insanely difficult? [01:44] Random: hard to say. happens anywhere now and then. The gui crashes and I can only see partial tty terminal. Nothing moves, can't change led status on keyboard, can't ssh - nothing [01:44] FishieFoo, http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/07/quickly-install-adobe-flash-player-10-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [01:44] FishieFoo, Everything is insanely difficult if we have the perception that it is - it's all in perception... :) [01:45] my perception is that I want this to work like it was before with as little time and effort as possible. [01:45] upgrade from one os to another = big train wreck [01:45] Jordan_U: I'm on a macbook but have OSX on an external drive at the moment for firmware updates. I'd like to have the laptop be single boot ubuntu but my GRUB seems to be messed up. (stuck at grub rescue with the message "no such device") [01:45] i just installed ubuntu via wubi, but when i try to select ubuntu the screen is only available for a splt-second, then automaticly chooses windows. how do i get to ubuntu? [01:46] MonoPuff: The firmware needed is in the directories /lib/firmware/b43 and /lib/firmware/b43legacy/, you can get the tar files for these directories from http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz and http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz [01:46] headkase314, ok, there is a video on how to use it BUT *sigh* I have just reinstalled ubuntu and youtube won't play - any ideas? [01:46] blitzo: Install ubuntu-restricted-extras ;) For flash that is. [01:46] Jordan_U: and I imagine there is no nondestructive way to set the partition table to GPT [01:46] headkase314, did that [01:46] i just installed ubuntu via wubi, but when i try to select ubuntu the screen is only available for a splt-second, then automaticly chooses windows. how do i get to ubuntu? [01:47] blitzo, you have no flash video? Maybe I can dig up another video? [01:47] thanks, hiexpo. *checking now&* [01:47] HELLO how launch a file in python via console [01:47] Suit_Of_Sables: Switch to pure GPT using the utility "gdisk" then reinstall grub following this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [01:47] sombody tell my how lunch a file .py [01:47] ROOTKID: python filename.py [01:47] Jordan_U, thanks.. It will get me started in the right direction [01:47] headkase314, there is a flash10 on the ubuntu software center and it won't install says, there is no 64bit version available - if i can't use flash on 64bit ubuntu that would be a MAJOR problem... ppl should be warned [01:48] thanks [01:48] FishieFoo, another thing you might want to check and see if you have the restricted extras installed forgot about that for flash [01:48] i just installed ubuntu via wubi, but when i try to select ubuntu the screen is only available for a splt-second, then automaticly chooses windows. how do i get to ubuntu? [01:48] Suit_Of_Sables: Make sure you have good backups first though, not because converting to pure GPT is particularly dangerous but because the fact that you currently have overlapping partitions may mean that you already have filesystem damage (from two filesystems thinking they own the same part of the disk). [01:48] blitzo: Installing extras should have installed a wrapper for the 32-bit Flash. It does for me?! [01:48] yeah. I vaguely recalled something about that but couldnt distinguish what was what. [01:48] adobe no longer supports 64 bit i just read [01:49] i just installed ubuntu via wubi, but when i try to select ubuntu the screen is only available for a splt-second, then automaticly chooses windows. how do i get to ubuntu? [01:49] headkase314, how to troubleshoot? [01:49] mroiler: try holding down shift while booting. [01:49] mroiler: What version of windows? [01:49] blitzo, give me a minute with google ;) [01:50] jordan_u: xp media center 2004 or 2005 [01:50] Where do you install gtk engines? [01:50] adobe no longer supports 64 bit i just read [01:50] wrong [01:50] they do plan to put it out [01:50] hiexpo: restricted extras are where? sofotware sources? [01:50] mroiler: Edit the "timout" value in your boot.ini [01:50] Where do you install gtk engines? [01:50] mroiler, please don'tflood be patient if someone knows they will help you ask about every ten minuters > thanx [01:50] in 10.04? [01:50] mroiler: Back up the original first though. [01:50] hiexpo: ah well. flash 10 is installing now, so I;ll try restricted extras if this doesn't work. [01:50] FishieFoo, yes [01:50] I got this theme and it installed to /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines but it isn't seeing it [01:51] My router does not allow changing DNS, so I edited /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases and wicd to reflect the desired DNS server. It works for a while,b ut it's not persistent. It goes back to the router's - 192.etc.254. I run dhclient wlan0 to get the new DNS, I get it and then it reverts back. Any advice appreciated. [01:51] I theme engine [01:51] jordan_u:thanks [01:51] Can someone please comment if the procedure described in http://ubuntuguide.net/install-fresh-ubuntu-10-04-on-ubuntu-9-10-only-machine-without-burning-cd will work fine? [01:51] aum [01:51] peace [01:51] mroiler: You're welcome. [01:51] hey, i know ubuntu 5.1 isnt supported really, but i have installed zsnes, and all of the dependencies, sdl, nasm, libpng, zlib, opengl, but for some reason its not showing the color red, just blue and green... i was wondering if there was another emulator for sega or snes that could run on 5.1 [01:52] blitzo: http://is.gd/dXmH4 says install: flashplugin-installer for 64-bit [01:52] And btw I am on a dual-boot machine with Karmic and XP [01:52] blitzo: with 32-bit flash [01:52] ubuser: Why in the world are you running 5.10 in the first place? [01:52] hiexpo: I can't find anything with that name. just unsupported updates, [01:52] it got mailed to me and the new cds havent came, and i dont have internet at my house -.- [01:53] FishieFoo, one sec [01:53] is there a version of gens (sega emu) that could run on ubuntu 5.1?? :( [01:53] ubuser: And if it's at all connected to the internet you should know that there are known *serious* exploits in 5.10, if you insist on using 5.10 disconnect it from the internet (and don't ask for support for it here). [01:53] hello all. How do I install adobe reader? TIA! [01:53] Can someone please comment if the procedure described in http://ubuntuguide.net/install-fresh-ubuntu-10-04-on-ubuntu-9-10-only-machine-without-burning-cd will work fine on a dual-boot system? [01:54] No one knows how to install a GTK engine? [01:54] i like foxreader [01:54] Where do I install it?! [01:54] :( [01:54] nimbiotics: I find okular to be every way better than adobe reader.. [01:54] ! [01:54] hey can i get some help? [01:54] faq [01:54] well that didn't work. I wonder if I have to uninstall flash 9 for flash 10 to work. [01:54] anyone here know anything about windows? [01:54] FishieFoo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [01:54] is there something like ctrl alt del for ubuntu for when it freezes? [01:54] Usernamed: shoot and lets see ;) [01:54] thanks [01:54] Usernamed: Kinda.. What do you want :) [01:54] Jordan_U: it looks like that Grub install guide requires me to chroot into my linux partition. something I won't be able to do unless I make myself a 64bit live CD correct? (this was my other problem as you may recall) [01:55] AndIrc__: alt-sysrq-k [01:55] headkase314, i have a huge gripe with that documentation: it is not dated and it doesn't necessarily tell you which version of ubuntu it's talking about [01:55] I defragged a freinds comp and it wouldnt restart [01:55] i am on ubuntu 9.10, and being a qualified user i can be here. even if you dont support teh 5.1 [01:55] the hd had viruses on it [01:55] Usernamed: try ##windows [01:55] and i removed them [01:55] I did [01:55] blitzo: it says the "newer" part so I would hope that covers lucid. [01:55] headkase314, apparently i need to use the 32 bit firefox [01:55] can anyone take a few minutes..possibly in a pm to explain how to setup a dual boot (lucid with win7) [01:55] Usernamed: Do you get any error? [01:55] Usernamed: this channel is for Ubuntu support [01:55] damn computer [01:56] hiexpo: ack. it's already installed. T_T [01:56] antonio_2, will wubi work for you? that's the easiet [01:56] anyway the comp is having issues restarting and I cant reinstall windows because it cant select the proper partition [01:56] blitzo: I don't know what happened on your system. On my 64-bit system installed restricted-extras installed 32-bit flash AND the wrapper for it. Firefox remained 64-bit so something fishy is going on in your config! [01:56] Suit_Of_Sables: If it's the same version of Ubuntu (number not architecture) then you can also just "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mountpoint /dev/sdX" [01:56] I had to install ubuntu [01:56] blitzo: I've heard thats not a true dual boot [01:56] Talking about this is Ubuntu channel, Can someone please comment if the procedure described in http://ubuntuguide.net/install-fresh-ubuntu-10-04-on-ubuntu-9-10-only-machine-without-burning-cd will work fine on a dual-boot system? [01:56] amule have some sex [01:56] anyone know how to get the colors fixed on zsnes ub9.1 [01:56] its only showing blue and green [01:56] Usernamed: No, not anyway. ask for Windows help in ##windows. We do not support Windows in here. Thank you. [01:57] amule have some sex [01:57] haha [01:57] headkase314, just installed the 64bit today and a TON of extra packages, would have no idea what's hosed and how to troubleshoot [01:57] blitzo: When it was available my biggest gripe with 64-bit flash was I could never get it to work! [01:57] antonio_2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [01:57] blitzo: I'm afraid I'm getting out of my league too! :( [01:57] headkase314, that may be what's going on here [01:57] Anyone know how to use chmod to deny read/write access for ONE user only? I have a samba share with rw access for every user, but I want to deny the httpd/apache user for security reasons. [01:57] can anyone take a few minutes..possibly in a pm to explain how to setup a dual boot (lucid with win7) [01:59] nisstyre65: Not possible with chmod, you'd have to use ACLs or Apparmor. [01:59] all right [01:59] thanks [01:59] Oh please someone tell if that method to install Lucid from GRUB will work or not on a dual boot [01:59] headkase314, it says the flashplugin-installer is already installed [01:59] well, I;ve been trying to fix audio in streaming video for too long, and I need to sleep. I can;'t believe a simple problem caused by updating the OS can be so difficult to fix. [01:59] blitzo: mark for complete removal then reinstall? [01:59] headkase314, so what i need to find out is why it won't play [02:00] blitzo: And that package wget's the latest prop. flash [02:00] updated from one os to another = train wreck and > headache [02:00] so is there any painless way to go back to an older version? [02:00] hi guys. I want to add a script in /etc/init.d/ to startup, but only after networking is up. so how do I update-rc.d it? [02:01] FishieFoo, nope frsh install only [02:01] ^ fresh [02:01] I have docky but it keeps beiing partialy covered up by my task bar. I would like to have them both living in harmony is there a way to move docky up X number of pixels? [02:01] great. [02:01] headkase314: thanks [02:01] ah well, thanks for trying to help. [02:01] hi [02:01] blitzo: I believe, but am not sure, you can also get Flash out of the partners repo.. [02:01] headkase314, does installing flashpugin-installer automatically pull in flash or is there another step? [02:01] nimbiotics: You're welcome, okular rocks. === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [02:02] blitzo: It automatically pulls the latest version from Adobe. Well, it wget's it from somewhere anyway.. ;) [02:02] FishieFoo, no prob backup all your stuff and reinstall > i still am useing 9.10 10.04 stillhas bugs [02:02] can anyone talk to me in pm about dual booting lucid and win7? [02:02] headkase314, synaptic showed a flash plugin that was NOT installed [02:03] blitzo: watch out for gnash or similar, they do not fully support Flash video. [02:03] antonio_2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [02:04] Can I do anything about a frozen ubuntu? [02:04] asdas [02:04] antonio_2, read it and google dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu > google is your friend [02:05] xasd [02:05] asdadasd [02:05] asdasd [02:05] headkase314, did all that and restarted firefox, youtube doesn't work however i did see a flash ad on a webpage that worked just fine - this is something specific to youtube [02:06] AndIrc__, why did it freeze [02:06] hyi [02:06] Flash video [02:06] hi [02:07] blitzo: try http://www.vimeo.com/ to see if flash video works there. [02:07] headkase314, actually flash is running - i can right click and get a menu - but the video won't play - it's not just youtube but also google video - however adverts display [02:08] blitzo: I don't know what to suggest from here. [02:08] headkase314, yep that works [02:08] hiiii [02:08] hello [02:09] where r u from? === jay is now known as Guest68287 [02:09] blitzo: I'm also on a 32-bit machine right now so I can't test 64-bit @ youtube either..

[02:09] Guest68287, this is a support channel for ubuntu not a general purpose chat [02:10] ohhhhhh ok [02:10] thats awesome ubuntu has this available [02:10] headkase314, i just got a youtube to play! hoo hah! but google video still won't play [02:11] guest68287 where r u from? [02:11] blitzo: So, now can return from the subroutine and get back to the video for AWN? ;) [02:11] pittsburgh PA, USA === mroiler is now known as TFKfan [02:11] that one doesn't play. you try it: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/awn-lucido-gets-its-own-ppa.html [02:12] i just learned how to integrade KDE enviroment with GNOME [02:13] blitzo: that one doesn't play because it's been removed by the user. Following the trail of the embedded code back to youtube gives that error message. [02:13] headkase314, LOLOLOL i've been beating my head on the wall for nothing [02:13] blitzo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PD9WFDPcmk&feature=player_embedded That's that videos embedded code === hasen_ is now known as hasen [02:14] Jordan_U: I'm having a hard time figuring out the gdisk command to make /dev/sda a pure GPT partition table [02:14] alright guys i am outta here, just checking this out [02:14] take care [02:15] headkase314, any idea how i would get hold of the author? do i need to download source and read the comments? [02:16] headkase314, which begs the question: how do i get the source... [02:16] blitzo: I think perhaps just trying everything under the sun in AWN and seeing the results would be productive? What do you think? [02:16] Hi, i have a toshiba portege m800 and I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 but I can not make that the bluetooth functioning correctly [02:16] headkase314, pretty much there already [02:16] do you have any ideas? [02:17] blitzo: Well, from my view, I love AWN so don't give up easily on it!! ;) [02:17] i just installed ubuntu via wubi on my xp computer. When i try to switch to ubuntu like it says on the guide the screen to select only shows for less than a second. [02:17] headkase314, i'm hooked on docks, that's for sure, and it least it doesn't crash every other min like cairo-dock [02:18] blitzo: You too!! :D Cairo was the exact same crashing for me! AWN never crashes in my experience! ;) [02:18] hi guys [02:18] headkase314, cairo is wonderful eye candy but you have to run a cron job that kills and restarts it every min or it won't be there when you want it [02:19] Jordan_U: also I'm being told by grub-install that trying to install to a partition and not the MBR is a BAD idea [02:19] I have 2usb ports and 1 audioport on my monitor and a usb-b connector - to get the 2usb ports and the audio to work i have to plugin a regular (fr comp)usb->usb-b on monitor? [02:19] blitzo: I move onto AWN long enough ago that I don't remember when and before that even was the Cairo frustration. I give AWN a heartily thumbs up. IMHO. [02:20] headkase314, bill, thx for spending so much time on this - i will pass it forward (whenever i come here for help i always spend 2x as much time giving help) [02:20] blitzo: Awesome, I think it's time for a break. Take care. [02:21] I have a question about ubuntu. Is this the right place to ask it? [02:21] blitzo: You're welcome ;) [02:22] see i like panels myself but to each own :) [02:23] anyone? [02:23] jgod: yes [02:23] jgod, Um...I think this MIGHT be the place...unless you want to order a pizza... [02:24] jgod? what is your Ubutnu question? [02:24] rlankfo: While installing ubuntu I accidentally installed it to my 32gb sd card. Of course the SSD in my computer is also 32GB and i was able to reinstall it to my SDD [02:24] but now the computer wont see the SD card and i cant even format it on my Windows machine [02:24] Where can you get good. pizza? [02:24] hey guys, I'm starting a deamon using "start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $SCRIPT_PID --startas $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS", but it doesnt record the pid in the specified file, so the "stop" option doesnt work.

Any suggestions, please? [02:56] Is there the macbook user? [02:56] jgod: several differnt machuines are having issues with the sd card? that is odd. Could be the card died.

[03:26] let me explain what happens [03:26] one sec [03:26] spine: if worse comes to worse, you will need to re-install Ubuntu, and it will fix your issue [03:26] yeah i may need to [03:27] i have 3 operating systems though [03:27] spine: on a liveCD you should be able to run update-grub2 and I think that does it, I can't remember, grub2 is still new to me.

[03:28] spine: the amount of OS is really irrelevant, grub2 and even grub1 for that matter can handle as many as you have space for. [03:28] thefatloverboy: what do you mean by open the cd?? You want to see the contents? [03:28] i know [03:28] yes [03:28] i don't have an install cd for windows though, so i'd prefer not reinstalling everything [03:29] spine: re-installing Ubuntu 'shouldn't' affect your windows instal [03:29] How can I put the network icon back on the top menu bar?

[03:30] i dont know [03:30] how can i know ? [03:30] xangua: That did it, my icons are all moved around and I was trying to move them to a specific place.... and BOOM! [03:30] thefatloverboy: I'm not really that familiar with Xubuntu [03:31] ok [03:31] thefatloverboy: I have used it, but it was a while ago [03:31] thefatloverboy, is the drive mounted? [03:31] yes [03:31] running update-grub2 says "error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)

[03:32] by software raid I mean mdadm [03:32] spine: ohh, probably because you are running via liveCD and the hdd is not mounted. [03:32] Thank You [03:32] spine: mount the hdd, do you know how to do that? [03:32] how can i make a folder private or mabe lock it ? [03:32] yes that ś what i mean [03:32] any apps for that [03:32] thefatloverboy: cd /media/cdrom [03:33] fyi......I just fixed my own NON SYSTEM DISK boot problem. While reading http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000229.htm I stopped to check the BIOS. Apparently after the first drive failed, the BIOS defaulted to boot from an add-on card first. I changed the boot order to be the HDD and it fixed my problem. [03:33] ah [03:33] um [03:33] thefatloverboy: ls will show you the contents [03:33] mount the entire hard drive? [03:33] ok [03:33] how do i do that [03:33] spine: hmm, I think that is the problem [03:33] eliezer, it depends a bit on what exactly you mean. Access to your stuff is usually done by making your whole home directory readable only to your own user. [03:33] well i think it was mounted at one point [03:33] spine: sudo fdisk -l to show you all the partitions [03:33] yep, i did that [03:33] eliezer, do you mean so that you need a password every time you open it or something like that? [03:33] eliezer, do you mean by encryption or just permissions? [03:34] the output of that is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1543979 [03:34] it doest exist [03:34] spine: after you see the parition you want to mount, you need to make a mount point [03:34] in the terminal [03:34] er [03:34] just make it private with a lock [03:34] well, which partition do i want to mount? [03:34] i want to be able to boot to all 3 OS's [03:34] thefatloverboy: type: mount and hit return, to see if the cdrom is mounted look through the results to see if you can see it in the list and where it is mounted [03:35] anything ease that let me lock a folder so no one can see [03:35] i appear to have 8 partitions [03:35] spine: right, once we get it figured out, I would gamble that grub will pick-up all three OS and you will be fine [03:35] ok [03:35] well, what do i need to mount? [03:35] spine: let me google up something [03:35] k [03:35] i've been googling all day, but trying various things seems to have just made the issue worse for me [03:35] no it is not [03:35] spine, you'd mount your ubuntu partition and something like this would fix your issue;; boot livecd then open terminal; sudo -s; mkdir /mnt/a; mount --bind /dev /mnt/a/dev; mount -t proc none /mnt/a/proc; chroot /mnt/a /bin/bash; grub-install /dev/sdX; update-grub [03:36] ok [03:36] eliezer, yes, there are ways to do that. Other users than your own should not be able to read anything in your home directory. That's how it's dealt with normally. You need to say so if you need something more than that, or be more specific. [03:36] one sec [03:36] spine, to chroot see the grub2 help file [03:36] mkdir /mnt/a ? [03:36] !grub2 | spine [03:36] spine: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [03:36] hello everyone i know this is a stupid question... but i am using ubuntu 5.10 on my pc at the house, and it doesnt have internet... and i was wondering what i need to download to be able to unzip files.. :) [03:37] it is not mounted [03:37] ugh too much info [03:37] ok, so first i need to mount my ubuntu partition? [03:37] what program unzips files for ubuntu [03:37] anyone upgraded to the latest version of tinyproxy? it seems like it only listens on tcp6 and not tcp4. Anyone know how to fix that? [03:37] spine: google has the answer: http://maketecheasier.com/restore-grub-2-as-the-main-bootloader/2010/05/05 [03:37] ubuser: 5.10 is not supported anymore, why not get the new version¿ [03:37] Hey spine why dont you use fedora? [03:37] okay [03:37] ubuser, see if there is an unzip.deb for 5.10 floating around the internet. good luck. [03:38] just unzip? ty [03:38] ubuser: you already know 5.10 is no longer supported. check Synaptic for 7zip [03:38] found zsnes, and it works [03:38] i dont need to imput any password at boot to use my pc is automatic login,,dont need to decrypt home directory at boot is disable === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:38] yeah, i have to use launchpad.net [03:38] what i want is something like a folder lock [03:38] wish I knew how much interest there is in getting rid of plymouth -- it seems to me that most people who have problems with plymouth have soved the by leaving ubuntu [03:38] hmm [03:38] so [03:38] thefatloverboy: did you find your cdrom in that list? [03:38] my partitions all seem to be named /dev/sdc instead of /dev/sda now [03:39] is there a reason for that? [03:39] no [03:39] !who > thefatloverboy [03:39] thefatloverboy, please see my private message [03:39] i share pc some times but have no users account,,just me [03:39] spine: not really sure, just use the sdc instead of the sda, you don't have any usb drives plugged in right? [03:39] eliezer, I see. [03:39] need to lock some folders for privacy [03:39] ok [03:39] spine: besides the one you are booted off? [03:39] eliezer: Do you know how to use a terminal? [03:39] if the architecture is amd64, will it work on i686?... dont fully understand all this [03:39] correct, the only usb drive plugged in [03:39] is the one with the live cd [03:39] not much [03:39] which i am running off of now [03:39] spine: no [03:40] but i can try my best [03:40] im not scare of terminal [03:40] just a question -.- i cant find any i686 stuff and im downloading i386 :) [03:40] eliezer: Okay, begin by going to this website, and downloading 'gpgdir': http://www.cipherdyne.org/gpgdir/ [03:40] ubuser, no amd64 stuff will NOT run on x86 OS! [03:40] spine: ok, then follow that page I posted, except, you will have to use sdc instead. [03:40] ubuser, in ubuntu i686=i386 [03:40] its got a checkmark on i386 [03:41] oh ok thx [03:41] intalling linux error ubuntu is running in low-graphic mode [03:41] ok [03:41] i am following that now [03:41] tar.bz2,,,,tar.gz [03:41] wich one [03:41] cant believe i got snes workin without internet [03:41] well i did that [03:41] wich is the easy to install [03:41] boing, tell everyone what graphics card you have. "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal if you aren't sure. [03:41] eliezer: Either one. (I use .tar.bz2 because it's smaller but it doesn't matter) [03:42] on ub 5.1 [03:42] typing update-grub2 still gives me "error: cannot find a device for /" [03:42] ok [03:42] eliezer: They both require a bit of terminal work. [03:42] i did grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdX [03:42] no supportation for teh working 5.1 [03:42] with sdc [03:42] glad this room exists :D [03:42] ZykoticK9, fresh install [03:42] spine: did you mount sdc? [03:42] and mount /dev/sdc5 /mnt [03:43] is done i placed on desktop [03:43] spine: any errors with sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdc5 ?? [03:43] i had ubuntu installed before so I know it works but i have the nvdida 330ms laptop card [03:43] no [03:43] i cant dont know why [03:43] open any cd [03:43] eliezer: Hmm, I just realized you need a PGP key to do that... [03:43] shane [03:44] ok so delet that ? [03:44] thefatloverboy: are you sure your cd is working? either the cd or the cdrom? [03:44] ok, if i do it with /dev/sdc there are no errors [03:44] eliezer: Yes. [03:44] if i do it with /dev/sdc5 [03:44] yes [03:44] spine: type shane and hit tab, so I can see your typing to me [03:44] it ś new [03:44] i get the error "attempting to install grub to a partition instead of the mbr. this is a very bad idea." [03:44] shane-laptop [03:44] spine: tab will complete the anem [03:44] k [03:44] shane-laptop: i get "attempting to install grub to a partition" [03:44] ok well let me check on software center if they have something like it [03:44] eliezer: I think I know a better idea anyway. [03:44] shane-laptop: which is apparently a bad idea [03:45] and i come back if im not succed [03:45] eliezer: Well, okay. [03:45] shane-laptop: so i believe it wants me to do it just to /dev/sdc...which apparently isn't mounted [03:45] spine: ok, we want grub installed to the mbr, let me check, I would think it would be sdc, but let me check that. [03:45] and i install with it [03:45] shane-laptop for what its worth, went through this yesterday on my own machine. even bind mounting and then chrooting didnt work. not sure what grub was pissy about. [03:45] BRB [03:45] eliezer: Sounds like a good plan. [03:45] alright [03:45] Wiesshund: I haven't played with grub2 much, I was pretty good with grub1 [03:45] can you zip .zips? [03:46] Wiesshund: seems as though it would be straight forward, but I guess still a little problematic === Chatter364 is now known as guest432 [03:46] shane-laptop: if i try to do "mount /dev/sdc /mnt" as opposed to "mount /dev/sdc5 /mnt" i'm told that "according to mtab /dev/sdc5 is already mounted on /mnt" [03:46] spine: right, you already have sdc5 mounted on mnt [03:46] spine: just one sec, let me dig something up [03:46] ubuser, yes, but it won't make them any smaller, so it's kinda a waste. Tar can be used to group multiple files into one if you want. [03:47] shane-laptop from what i could tell grub2 needed to know a module for the etx4fs, and id no clue what module that was. [03:47] ok [03:47] help [03:47] ubuser: i second ZykoticK9 's response [03:47] Wiesshund: hmm, that is odd, perhaps grub1 was easier. :) [03:47] how to use IMAP folders in Evolution for spam etc,? [03:47] shane-laptop i agree there, but grub2 is still semi new i guess [03:48] i was putting them on a cd, i have over 100 files, but its not 700 megs so itll be alright i guess [03:48] How do I get into the boot options menu? I've tried pressing esc and all the f keys and ctr + alt [03:48] anyone know the option in XChat to NOT auto-rejoin if someone kicks you?

[03:49] lucid [03:49] Teekin i came across this on my web search http://sunpoint.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/folder-lock-in-ubuntu/ [03:50] guest432, so long as that is a fresh lucid and not an upgrade, then you are using grub2 [03:50] spine: ok, I think this is it: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdc [03:50] need recomendation i want it to be a normal program that i can see,,not terminal [03:50] this is getting freaking frustrating.... video keeps crashing flash in ubuntu... adobe's getting on my damn nerves [03:50] worked thx [03:50] help [03:50] shane-laptop: that's what i typed [03:50] Wiesshund: well, for me it is a matter of re-learning what I knew in grub1, however grub2 has a lot more scripts that I really like, and auto detects OS much better. [03:50] shane-laptop: that's what i've been doing all along [03:51] how can i open a cd in a terminal ? [03:51] thefatloverboy, audio cd you mean? [03:51] shane-laptop i broke mine fussing with logos and login screens, i accidently removed a line LOL [03:51] spine: leave off the trailing slash [03:51] spine: trailing slashes [03:51] ok [03:51] i see [03:51] i'll try that, sec [03:52] no no one [03:52] i cant open no one [03:52] spine: and the last part should be sdc not sdc5 [03:52] same error [03:52] shane-laptop: same error, if i try "update-grub2" it says cannot find a device for / [03:52] seems like half the super nintendo games are japanese lol [03:53] spine: copy and paste this: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdc [03:53] spine: just to make sure it is right [03:53] How long on average does it take to build a package I submitted to my PPA? === rzbk is now known as inetfish [03:53] shane-laptop: pasted exactly like that, same error [03:54] shane-laptop: still "is /dev mounted?"

[04:01] spine: yep, lets boot back up in live cd [04:01] no i cant see it [04:02] thefatloverboy and it doesnt appear in nautilus? [04:02] but if i play something i can see it [04:02] thefatloverboy: have you tested the cd in a different computer or something, it should automount and ask what you want to open it with === positron is now known as Guest11854 [04:02] yes [04:02] shane-laptop, if he selected bios boot menu (F8 typically) to boot specific device it will typically rename the devices [04:02] and it ś ok [04:02] ty [04:03] Hey People! Do you know a file manager, gtk like krusader? [04:03] thefatloverboy do you see the cd in nautilus? and perhaps the drive on this pc in question is dirty or failing and not reading the cd [04:03] venger: really? does that cause any issues for installing grub? [04:03] except "gnome-commander" [04:03] ubuser: in theory, you can get better compression by combining them into one big zip, but the difference would typically be small, and outweighed by the convenience (or lack of it) of having the files separate. If you have enough space, try it both ways and see which gives better results... [04:03] shane-laptop: alright, in the live cd [04:04] spine: I'm referencing this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 fyi [04:04] shane-laptop yes causes many issues, if you dont know what device.map for grub to load. [04:04] shane-laptop, UID should work around it if its still enabled [04:04] ..... [04:04] shane-laptop, then again he said he had uid errors [04:04] no im trying with many cds [04:04] and no one [04:04] venger: I remember when UID came out, I hated it, I loved the simple sda5 stuff [04:05] shane-laptop: ok [04:05] thefatloverboy sounds like the cd drive you got there is going kaput? [04:05] venger: it was simpler, but I can see with the technology why they went to uid stuff [04:05] hi every body :D i have some problem with my ubuntu ... i lost my partion /home and make another one and new user ... but my new user can't auto mounting my devices (like my ipodtouch) [04:05] but it is new [04:05] new user has administrator access [04:05] shane-laptop: for some odd reason, all of my devices have changed back to /dev/sda as opposed to sdc [04:05] shane-laptop: not sure what was up with that...guess we can try it with sda now though [04:05] spine: ok, [04:06] shane-laptop that was part of my issue, my bios reorders the hdds according to what boot order they are set up for, regardless of thier physical order.

[04:06] i have it on my lsusb : Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05ac:1299 Apple, Inc. and now want to auto mounting this access again :) [04:06] what should i do ? [04:06] Wiesshund: by all means chime in, you have wrestled this beast for a few days and seem a little more familiar with the issue. [04:06] thefatloverboy new doesnt always mean non broke though. if cd reads in everything but that drive, its probably a bad drive. test drive on another pc? [04:07] spine, your livecd is lucid right? [04:07] spine: can you re-pastebin the sudo fdisk -l [04:07] i did it [04:07] shane-laptop: ok [04:07] and it ś ok [04:07] but no in this one [04:07] st__, http://wazem.blogspot.com/2007/10/hot-to-configure-imap-on-evolution-and.html [04:07] shane-laptop unfortunately the best solution i can give though is helping him backup what he needs to save fromt he unbuntu partition, and letting the ubuntu liveCD install back into that existing partition without format.

[04:08] Wiesshund: I get the idea, that he probably doesn't have a lot on the ubuntu part, but we will give it one more try [04:08] shane-laptop actualy the reinstall took 10 minutes, and i pulled hair out for hours, and i found that i lost nothing except normal system updates [04:09] shane-laptop: http://pastebin.com/hDyQkyRT [04:09] shane-laptop: it seems it assigned my usb drive /dev/sdc and my hard drive /dev/sda [04:09] st__, also, google for Bogofilter and SpamAssassin.

[04:11] file === spyrosebastos is now known as spiros [04:11] help [04:11] shane-laptop it seemed from trying to manualy boot the kernel from grub, and playing with grubs prober etc, that 1) I needed to know the drive.map that was created for grub during the initial install. (hell if i could find it) 2) I needed to know what module grub should load for the ext4fs (and hell if i knew which module that was either) [04:11] I abandoned grub after discovering that grub is more unstable than lilo due to assuming fs uuids don't change [04:11] what would i type into the terminal to search for a file [04:11] shane-laptop: did that, says installation finished no errors [04:11] shane-laptop, spine, i'd also do the chroot so you can run update-grub [04:12] venger: how do i do that? [04:12] venger: yes, that is what I was thinking [04:12] un214 oh now you tell us. lol [04:12] Qiang, fdisk shows only partition type, it doesn't detect filesystem [04:12] BitEncrypt, try "find" .. http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/unix/findcmd.htm [04:12] st__: what do you mean? it shows /dev/sda1 * 1 9407 75561696 7 HPFS/NTFS , that is NTFS right there..

[04:13] spine: oops, we already did that [04:13] shane-laptop: yeah we did [04:13] use what i posted earlier as a basis -> sudo -s; mkdir /mnt/a; mount --bind /dev /mnt/a/dev; mount -t proc none /mnt/a/proc; chroot /mnt/a /bin/bash; grub-install /dev/sdX; update-grub [04:13] Qiang that is the partition type, but not the actual filesystem on it per say [04:13] shane-laptop: question is how to chroot [04:13] Qiang: What fstab shows is a partition label, that may (or may not) accurately indicate the FS on the partition [04:13] venger: er, if i already mounted [04:14] venger: should i unmount it or what? [04:14] spine: next one: sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/drive/dev [04:14] Qiang: try blkid to see if it detects a fs on that partition. [04:14] shane-laptop: alright [04:14] spine: sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/driv/proc [04:14] texastwister: will try, thanks.

[04:15] that article doesn't answer my questions, I need to have Trash ans Spam folders to be on server [04:15] spine: that should do it. [04:15] spine youve got do /mount --bind /tmp/proc /proc same for /dev /sys before chrooting, atleast that is what i read on attempting a grub recovery [04:15] shane-laptop: k, did all that...it found a bunch of linux images, then said "cannot find list of partitions" then said "done" [04:16] help [04:16] venger: I would think since the installation worked, we just need to update it [04:16] shane-laptop: should i just try rebooting and seeing what happens? [04:16] spine: can you paste bin the output? [04:16] shane-laptop: yeah one sec [04:16] yes i just pasted that from earlier [04:16] texastwister: My server was running CentOS+Xen, the images were LVM based. I reinstalled the thing because Xen was b0rking. Now I'm trying to get the old image(s) to work again but running into the wall called LVM [04:16] venger: ok [04:16] texastwister: blkid doesn't list sda1 there. what should I do next? [04:16] thx [04:16] venger: I scipted out my chrooting so it is documented for me. :) [04:17] hello [04:17] hey every1 [04:17] texastwister: In short, how in the @#$ can I make the 'old' Xen image usable as KVM image (if possible at all) [04:17] Drak0z: are you still using xen? Or KVM. With Xen images I think you'll still have to use Xen unless there is a converter someone else knows about. [04:17] shane-laptop: http://pastebin.com/KJisXUzN [04:17] why does it say ubuntu 64 bit version is not recommended for daily desktop usage? [04:17] i have so many question about ubuntu. just minutes ago i had it install [04:18] I want to use the nomodeset drivers, would I just type "nomodeset" in the command list from grub version 1.98-1ubuntu5 ? [04:18] Qiang: back to you in a few... [04:18] help [04:18] texastwister: yea.. that's fine. [04:18] how can i open a cd in xubuntu ? [04:18] texastwister: I'm not using Xen anymore.. I read somewhere that it was 'easy' to convert to KVM if you'd just install a normal kernel on the host images (so I installed the kernel, unmounted, backed up, installed ubuntu and thought I'd be done somewhere 12 hours ago) [04:18] thefatloverboy we told you [04:18] Drak0z: I heard something about a xen to KVM converter in the works, but don't know if it is ready or where to get it. I think it was fedora devs working on it. [04:19] spine: try and reboot lets see, that is odd that it cannot find partitions, I'm not sure that is normal [04:19] no you all didnt [04:19] shane-laptop: we'll find out i guess [04:19] i still have the problem [04:19] texastwister: I'll see what I can find, it's at least a new set of keywords for google which I haven't used before :) [04:19] do not fear the poopsmith is herre [04:20] thefatloverboy something is probably wrong with the drive then if you cant mount it [04:20] help how to make my resolution smaller [04:20] spine: if it doesn't work, Wiesshund says he re-installed, and didn't format the root partition and it fixed everything in about 20min, that would probably be the easiest route if this doesn't work, [04:20] I'm trying to run a "hello world" java program and I'm getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/472049/ [04:20] poopsmith: I feel safer knowing you're here [04:20] is there a backup app in ubuntu that can also restore installed softwares like the one they have for Mint 9? [04:20] spine: of course, backup your info first as always. [04:20] why does it say ubuntu 64bit is not recommend for daily desktop usage?? [04:20] ;) [04:20] shane-laptop, he may need to pull up the drive from livecd in gparted to see if it complains [04:20] spine: it shouldn't touch your Windows7 stuff, just like the original install [04:20] Qiang: was there supposed to be data already there? Or are you preparing the partition for use? [04:20] shane-laptop: mm well [04:20] shane-laptop: i got the same problem, except windows 7 is no longer listed in grub [04:20] spine since your chrooted, you can simply move anything you want to save into /home. installation wont touch /home what so ever [04:21] well im going to bay a new one [04:21] please help me === rishi is now known as Guest60249 [04:21] thanks to all of you [04:21] venger: like perhaps there are drive errors, or partition errors? [04:21] KC_: Probably mostly a legacy recommendation from when 64 bit had some glitches. I've been living in 64 bit for more than a year with no probs. === poopsmith is now known as ZePoopsmith [04:22] thanks texas [04:22] shane-laptop, yes expecially if an resizing and partitioning had occured just prior [04:22] venger: seems odd to me that it shows sda1 as unknown, unless it is a hidden restoration partition [04:22] jinxzs: what's your need? [04:22] hey, anyone dual-booted OS X and ubuntu? [04:22] see you [04:22] KC i ran 64, it ran absolutely fine. only problem i had is i idnt have the ram to run many apps at the same time. aside from that i thought it was flawless [04:22] im thinking of grabbing ubuntu im win7 user and sick of security issues, does ubuntu have security issues? [04:22] shane-laptop: i think i better just reinstall everything [04:22] spine: what was the 3rd os you installed? [04:22] * ZePoopsmith scratches his gentitals [04:22] @texastwister i got soooo big resolution. i hate it. [04:22] texastwister: i am on a dual win/linux system.. under win, there are two partition (C and D) now i can see the D drive but not the C. sda1 should be the C, I suspect. [04:23] KC_: just local exploits mostly.. you can configure the firewall to block everything [04:23] to use the nomodeset drivers, can I type "nomodeset" in the command menu on grub2? [04:23] shane-laptop, i've seen them on dell laptops [04:23] what about hard drives, i have many hard drives fail over the years with win7, experience this much with ubuntu [04:23] venger: I'm no good at partition table restoratoin, I have messed with that before. [04:23] shane-laptop: i installed windows 7 first, then ubuntu, then backtrack [04:23] trying to figure out whether to boot os x + ubuntu both from chameleon, or both from grub [04:23] KC if it has an end user and it isnt an old world apple, said enuser can create thier own security issues. but its way way way harder on linux to do that. hehe [04:23] KC_: win7 hasnt been out for years [04:23] is there a mac os x type dock available for ubuntu? similiar to rocketdock for win? [04:24] jinxzs: Do you mean your resolution is really large (details are small) or the resolution is low (everything is big)? [04:24] i mean windows in general haha [04:24] spine: backtrack??? what is it? a Linux distro? [04:24] shane-laptop: when installing backtrack it wasn't letting me resize my partitions, saying sda5 was in use [04:24] shane-laptop: backtrack is a linux distro yes [04:24] shane-laptop, my idea of restoration would be to blow it away. i think he would at least spot check for going and reinstalling on the current scheme [04:24] is there a backup app in ubuntu that can also restore installed softwares like the one they have for Mint 9? [04:24] @ZePoopsmith try Cairo Dock [04:24] shane-laptop: its for lamers who want to crack WEP [04:24] spine: ahh, there is the issue there, seems as though your partition tables are not quite right [04:24] @texastwister it says something nvidia problem [04:24] ZePoopsmith: docky 2, avant, cairo dock [04:24] and i dont know how to do it [04:25] I really need some help getting my grub resetup [04:25] tik: no wonder I have never heard of it, I have heard and tried a lot of distros out there. [04:25] Qiang: Have you booted to the Win installation recently? I'm concerned that you may have lost data... If blkid doesn't see it... [04:25] @jinxzs what [04:25] is the error message [04:25] tik: i just wanted to run some security tests on my home network [04:25] xangua, thanks how about something to put gadgets on desktop? [04:25] gdesklets ZePoopsmith [04:25] I was told back in march that removing plymouth was simply a longer way to pain when I got bit by some early bugs that made it not work right (no failover for no fbcon). [04:25] Well I had to remove it in the end anyway and now anybody else who needed it has left [04:25] so I can't get real support for removing the abomination anyway. [04:25] hello, some p2p programa to suggest, iam looking something like ares for win [04:25] spine well ubuntu is secure, it locked you right the heck out ;) [04:25] spine: I think backtrack really botched your install, and partition tables, I'm not sure [04:26] reinstalled windows but none of the instructions will work [04:26] jinxzs: Can you go to System|Admin| Hardware drivers? [04:26] xangua, thanks.. looks like ubuntu will be alot easier to clone osx look than windows. [04:26] shane-laptop: yeah, i'm pretty sure it did [04:26] instructions for grub reinstall that is [04:26] jinxzs: Do you see an nvidia driver activated? [04:26] shane-laptop: this isn't so bad actually, i wanted to try ubuntu netbook edition anyway [04:26] un214 you dont like plymouth? [04:26] it doesn't bloody work [04:26] that enough for you? === esj is now known as lampliter [04:26] spine: yeah, it has some screen optimizations, it is nice [04:26] @texastwister it has NVIDIA Xserver settings [04:27] un214 er define doesnt work? cause mine does [04:27] shane-laptop: so, should i delete my current linux partitions or what? [04:27] c.efnet.net [04:27] spine if you dont want to save anything feel free to kill them off [04:27] shane-laptop: if my windows 7 one is lost it's not a big deal...it came with it and i haven't even used it, but i kind of wanted to keep it in case i had a future compatability issue [04:27] can i get ubuntu in 16-bit version??? [04:27] I'll bet you don't have driver issues that require ripping out fbcon [04:27] yeah wiesshund i only had a few text files i wanted to save, there's nothing valuable on this hard drive at all. i just got this netbook about 5 days ago. [04:28] spine: I'm not 100% sure, but if your partition tables are really messed up, you may lose windows 7 too, I'm not sure [04:28] jinxzs: That's not what I asked. In the Hardware drivers tool, is the driver activated? [04:28] the fallback mode has some nasty bugs of its own [04:28] how to use GMAIL IMAP folders in Evolution for spam and Trash? [04:28] can i get ubuntu in 16-bit version??? [04:28] how do I fix my grub configuration if I can not boot a live cd? [04:28] and mountall tries to fsck two partitons of the same disk at the same time [04:28] spine: 5 days ago, you didn't mess around, 5 days, 3 OS and botched partition tables, not bad! [04:28] shane-laptop: haha yep [04:28] shane-laptop: i'm completely new to linux [04:29] spine: I bought a dell mini with Ubuntu installed, but I knew what I was getting into, I have used Linux for quite a while now. [04:29] st__: you can configure what folders do you want to sync in gmail configuration [04:29] shane-laptop: sad that dell apparently has discontinued ubuntu [04:29] can i get ubuntu in 16-bit version??? [04:29] shane-laptop: linux is so much nicer than windows, except for games anyway [04:29] spine: well, I have botched so many installs in isn't funny, but that was with grub1 [04:29] ZePoopsmith: no, are you serious? Last 16 bit computer in common use was what, the 286? [04:29] texastwister: i doubt it though. I just installed ubuntu lucid recently and from the beginning I can only see the D drive but not the C drive. and I used win system two days ago. [04:29] un214 your right ive had no issues with uvesafb [04:29] spine: certainly faster [04:29] shane-laptop: yeah [04:29] @texastwister i think its not. i cant view the whole window of it its so big it cant fit in my monitor [04:29] texastwister: any other things I should check? [04:30] texastwister, yeah I have an oldd 286 i want 2 put ubuntu on it [04:30] spine: misinformation -- I work at dell and can confirm it's not discontinued. [04:30] linux has been quite the relentless bitch, especially if you're learning like I am [04:30] spine: simple, but additctive fun linux game, bzflag [04:30] spine: drive tanks around with other people and shoot-em greatest thing, real players, now computers. [04:30] what? I have two spam and trash folders, and ones special from Evolution are nonfunctional [04:30] texastwister how come they took it off the order pages? [04:30] a bigger bitch is dealing with grub. [04:30] spine: not* [04:30] shane-laptop: i've played bzflag in school on linux actually, when our computer course had us all linux as an end of year project. we only had about 5 days to use it though and didn't learn much beyond basic commands [04:30] !language [04:31] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:31] spine: Hedgewars is also fun, just like Worms [04:31] Qiang: I'm at a loss... No other ideas... [04:31] texastwister, does dell still offer the xps 700 mobo replacement [04:31] spine: simple, but fun, I'm not into those intense learn the game for 3 weeks [04:31] does ubuntu even work on 286? [04:31] @texastwister if i go to hardware driver there is 3 options 173,96 and recommended one. but i cant see the button below [04:31] texastwister: ok, thank you. [04:32] jinxzs: green ball by the recommended one? [04:32] shane-laptop: alright, i think i just want to wipe my entire hard drive and start from scratch, what do you recommend? [04:32] Wiesshund: what got on my nerves was the developers claiming corner cases to my issues when it turned out that any install other than single partiton had serious bugs. [04:32] hackerswami no modern linux works on an 80286 they dont have the ability to address the memory areas required for one [04:33] spine: try to keep windows7 if you want, wipe everything else [04:33] I now have reason to beleve the developers of upstart/mountall/plymouth do not understand unix [04:33] texastwister: Too bad you're right about the xen -> kvm still being in development [04:33] un214 :( that sucks, shame. i made custom boot and login screens etc [04:33] spine: perhaps only your extended partitions were messed up. [04:33] shane-laptop: alright. should i use gparted? [04:33] hackerswami best you can do on a 286 is look for an old copy of minix or sqIrle [04:33] Wiesshund: all its ever been to me is pain so its gone now [04:34] How do I get the nomodeset drivers to run, I'm in the command menu on grub2 [04:34] I pulled sysvinit from debian [04:34] Wiesshund: Can't speak authoritatively for Dell, but I've heard it was kind of an issue where "the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing"... Not intentional. Will look for a link for you... [04:34] spine: someone recommened that, perhaps it would tell you if the partition tables are messed up, I'm not really sure [04:34] yes. I thought so too... btw, the actual question was from ZePoopsmith [04:34] spine you just going to wipe and do a new install? [04:34] Drak0z: There's a kvm channel here, did you ask there? [04:34] spine, or pastebin sfdisk -l [04:34] wiesshund: yes, but i'd like to keep my windows 7 partition if possible [04:35] texastwister: I'm in there too, but it's earily quiet over there.. I can hear the crickets chirp [04:35] spine its a netbook, no cd drive right? [04:35] hackerswami, Have a look here: http://elks.sourceforge.net/introduction.html [04:35] wiesshund: correct, but i have 2 usb drives which i can use to burn OS's [04:35] wiesshund: except windows 7 of course [04:36] spine there are 2 partitions on it, should have odd lables, dont touch them. thats your win7 disk and emergency boot partition [04:36] venger: wow, sfdisk is like fdisk on steroids. :) [04:36] shane-laptop: yeah i seem to have 3 ntfs partitions [04:36] thanks KE1HA. good info [04:36] er, wiesshund === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [04:36] whatever [04:36] Drak0z, i'd use kvm if those iommu emulation patches ever make it in [04:36] For those who were asking about Ubuntu and dell: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs You can always find that page at http://www.dell.com/ubuntu [04:37] shane-laptop: my ntfs partitions are labeled "system" "[hard drive model name, numbers/letters]" and "HDDRECOVERY" [04:37] spine the biggest ntfs partition is win7 installation. the 2 smallers ones are a emergency boot partition, and the ISO of the win7 dvd [04:37] spine: I'm pretty sure that your sda1 partition is a win7 restoration partition [04:37] yeah you're right wiesshund [04:38] shane-laptop: sda1 is labeled system, sda2 is the biggest and has windows 7 i believe, and sda3 is hddrecovery, probably put on there by toshiba [04:38] shane-laptop: i think sda1 contains the windows mbr or something, it has a flag called "boot" [04:38] spine what size is sda1 === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [04:38] spine: ohh, that could be, I'm out of the windows loop, I have windows vista on this laptop, but don't remember the last time it was booted [04:39] wiesshund: sda1 has 500 mb/1.46 gb [04:39] venger: I'm trying to use KVM because Xen has a few showstopping bugs [04:39] jinxzs: Can you get to a command prompt? [04:40] Drak0z, such as high cpu/load hangs? :) [04:40] shane-laptop: alright, so should i just delete every extended partition i have? [04:40] Hello, My system is a Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Gnome edition version. [04:40] I made the mistake of use the following command on the binarie below: [04:40] venger: Aye, and randomly changing macaddresses which kill the network of my guests on reboots [04:40] $ sudo chmod -v -u user -g user -rxXt /sbin/shutdown [04:40] spine: I would and if you want to keep win7, just keep those paritions [04:40] Now, the shutdown command isn't recognized by the shell invocation... is there anyway to fix it? [04:40] Thanks very much in advance [04:40] nodethenick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:40] spine i believe, that sda1 is the recovery OS, sda3 is of course the win7 iso. you can mount sda1 and look at it to get a clue before you install [04:40] @texastwister do you mean in the terminal? [04:41] jinxzs: if so, try sudo nvidia-settings -r [04:41] jinxzs: yes [04:41] venger: I've been using a KVM setup on a different server and it's much more stable (still a few bugs, but it's actually usable) [04:41] shane-laptop: it says i need to unmount the partitions first [04:41] shane-laptop: is there an easy way to umount everything at once? [04:41] Drak0z, changing even when hard specifying it? [04:41] venger: Now I'm trying to get my old Xen images to run on KVM and I think I'm going to cry in a few [04:41] I'm stuck, I just installed Lucid Lynx and it won't boot up [04:41] spine: oh, we are still in live cd, just run: sudo unmount /mnt/drive [04:42] venger: Yup, Xen appears to forget those hard settings every so often.. Not évery reboot, that's what makes it hard and frustrating [04:42] Drak0z: you know you can still run xen if you need to? [04:42] spine: ohh, wait, we were chrooted, I think we have to unmount proc and dev [04:42] spine im basing that off of the normal routine for dell/toshiba/sony/gateway/compaq/etc when they dont ship actualy cd's and or cd drives with a given machine. there is usualy a diagnostic partition, and an OS restoration image in a partition [04:42] @texastwister nothings happen if i type that in to terminal [04:42] spine: sudo unmount /mnt/drive/proc && unmount /mnt/drive/dev && unmount /mnt/drive [04:42] shane-laptop: ok [04:42] texastwister: I'm afraid I must then.. I'd rather be using KVM because of the bugs in Xen, but I've been trying to get that crap working the whole weekend [04:43] spine: I think you were in root, so just drop that sudo [04:43] shane-laptop: is it umount or unmount? [04:43] Drak0z, then i suppose you are using xenstore instead of the regular text .cfg for configuration? [04:43] shane-laptop: i think it's umount [04:43] spine: umount, my bad [04:43] jinxzs: What if you run sudo nvidia-settings? [04:43] spine: getting late for me. [04:43] shane-laptop: ok [04:43] shane-laptop thats ok know how many times i type unmount in the console? [04:44] Wiesshund: lol, been there done that! [04:44] looking at prompt thinking wth yoo mean you dont know the command unmount !@!#%! [04:45] @texastwister it says No command 'run' found, did you mean: [04:45] Command 'zrun' from package 'moreutils' (universe) [04:45] Command 'runq' from package 'exim4-daemon-heavy' (main) [04:45] Command 'runq' from package 'exim4-daemon-light' (main) [04:45] Command 'runq' from package 'sendmail-bin' (universe) [04:45] Command 'grun' from package 'grun' (universe) [04:45] jinxzs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:45] Wiesshund: someone should link unmount to umount on all *Buntu systems. [04:45] jinxzs: No, just : "sudo nvidia-settings" [04:45] jinxzs by run he meant type sudo blah blah and hit enter [04:47] @texastwister it open the window of Nvidia x server settings [04:47] shane-laptop or atleast have the error message be comical, like "Hell no umount it" [04:47] I have a problem with 8.10 and an IBM space saver keyboard... It's starting sessions with numlock on, and the numlock key won't turn it off. This is an issue because then 1/2 the letters are now numbers so I can't do much of anything. I need an idea for getting it turned off from console (editing a session config file maybe?). [04:47] venger: I'm using plain textfile actually, Xen just appears to ignore that every so often [04:47] hopefully i can get some help [04:47] Wiesshund: if that is an iso partition, in all technicality, he could make that a bootable usb to have and install win7 [04:47] jinxzs: can you use that to change your resolution? [04:47] need the driver [04:48] [23:44] mr1004: i literally walked through the door 40 minutes ago and haven't even checked my email yet.. [04:48] [23:44] mr1004: i'll get back to you guys when i get some time [04:48] whoops, wrong paste [04:48] sorry [04:48] @texastwister i dont know how to set it up. can you guide me [04:48] Drak0z, i haven't seen that on 4.0+ [04:48] shane-laptop: it won't let me delete my swap partitions apparently [04:48] shane-laptop its not a normal win7 ISO though, its an ISO of the installed FS. a mirror of the new HDD [04:48] Wiesshund: but still it would be a complete restore usb [04:49] all i need now is a driver that nswrapper can work with for the linksys [04:49] venger: Did you experience random network timeouts then? [04:49] spine: hmm, shouldn't be a problem [04:49] spine, sudo swapoff [04:49] jinxzs: On the left side, see an entry for "X Server Display Configuration"? [04:49] shane-laptop all the recovery does is remake the partition scheme it shipped with, format it, and extract the iso to it, no actual installation [04:49] venger: My guestnetwork also sometimes just dies, after ifconfigging it looks like the mac changed -while running- (And no, I did not define more than one macaddress or something silly like that :) ) [04:49] how can I fix this error? http://pastebin.com/vy7A2YSZ [04:49] Wiesshund: ahh, ok. [04:50] @texastwister yea i can see it [04:50] venger: i still get "refusing to delete a protected partition" i am using the ubuntu disk utility, btw [04:50] shane-laptop yea kind of dumb, but they dont give real OS cd's if they can help it. perhaps thier license doesnt allow it, unsure [04:50] Drak0z, not that i am aware of but i've only been using xen in a dev capacity for a number of months. i too have a few bugs that have kept me from putting it in a regular use capacity [04:50] anyone know a driver for the marvel 88w 8360 topdog usb ? [04:50] spine youve rebooted off a liveUSB or somethign correct? [04:50] Wiesshund: right, they got pretty tight about the cd stuff, back in XP days [04:51] jinxzs: click that, and look at the right side of the window, see a square window with a resolution and monitor name? [04:51] jeeves_Moss: the question is what did you do to get such an error? what package did you manually install? [04:51] jeeves_Moss: or remove? [04:51] shane-laptop, I just did a package update [04:52] anyone ? [04:52] हेल्लो [04:52] sorry [04:52] Hello! [04:52] abhijit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:52] wiesshund: yes [04:52] @texastwister yea i can see it it has only auto .640/48 and 320/240 [04:52] spine you have rebooted the machine from the USB right? dont have nothing chrooted etc any more? [04:52] linux mint vs ubuntu ? which should i install? [04:52] shane-laptop: ok, i've deleted all the logical partitions within my extended partition. should i also delete the entire extended partition? [04:52] I have a problem with 8.10 and an IBM space saver keyboard... It's starting sessions with numlock on, and the numlock key won't turn it off. This is an issue because then 1/2 the letters are now numbers so I can't do much of anything. I need an idea for getting it turned off from console (editing a session config file maybe?). Normally I'd have done a lot of web searching before coming here, but [04:52] trying to google with lynx in an 80x25 console is a pain, and I really can't do anything in the gui until this is fixed... [04:52] jinxzs: does it show a monitor name? [04:52] wiesshund: correct. i was able to delete the swap partitions now. [04:53] jeeves_Moss: run: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update [04:53] KC_, see distrowatch [04:53] spine, i'd delete everything then reboot before creating [04:53] shane-laptop, tried that. same error [04:53] spine ok cool. you can delete everything but the system and recovery partitions, rest of the drive is fair game. [04:53] KC_: Not enough info... there is no perfect distro for all purposes... [04:53] spine those save for if you ever need win7 for any reason like sellign the laptop etc [04:53] @texastwister model name is CRT-0 (CRT-0 on GPU-0) [04:54] jinxzs: see a button for detect displays? [04:54] jeeves_Moss: the only time I get those kind of errors are when I go manually deleteing stuff, and messing with removing programs the way they are not inteneded to be removed. [04:54] JUST WANT TO GET ONLINE !!! need help with wifii !! hello ? [04:54] @texastwister yea there is [04:54] shane-laptop: do you know if one can use the ubuntu netbook edition disk as a live cd like i'm using now? [04:54] click it and see if you get more options... [04:54] shane-laptop: if so i plan on just rewriting it with that [04:54] spine yes you can [04:55] shane-laptop, I know. I usally get that. I did the automated GUI update, and then it popped up with the broken package error [04:55] has anyone with radeon hd card got boxee to work on 32-bit ubuntu 10.04? [04:55] if i [04:55] jinxzs: see my prev post (forgot to call out your handle.) [04:55] jeeves_Moss: try: sudo apt-get purge iced(tab) [04:55] k thanks wiesshund [04:55] jeeves_Moss have you tried using the broken package too in synaptic? [04:55] shane-laptop, ok, one sec [04:55] @texastwister no more options. [04:56] jeeves_Moss: seems as if icedtea is the problem [04:56] shane-laptop: now let's just hope i can reinstall everything.. [04:56] seatownrocks ive got the card but no idea what boxeee is [04:56] it is like xbmc on crack [04:56] jinxzs: So under "Resolution" you only have those two options? [04:56] this suck ! [04:56] shane-laptop, yep, I know,but I can't get it to tab for me [04:56] boxee.tv [04:56] spine: well for 5 days in, and 3 installs, you will be fine [04:56] @texastwister yes [04:56] it worked in 9.whatever but not in 10.04 [04:56] shane-laptop: true, but i just hope i don't screw up my partitions in the same way [04:56] at least not for me [04:56] if i want to triple-boot ubuntu, xp, and os x, which should go furthest to the left in the partition table? [04:57] jeeves_Moss: sudo apt-get purge icedtea6-plugin [04:57] bad example for ubuntu spprot [04:57] spine for future reff, you can also use unetbootin to install any linus version from its iso with out making a flashdrive etc [04:57] shane-laptop, tried it already [04:57] wiesshund unetbootin is exactly what i've been using, thankfully [04:57] rbedi99 XP then linux but i dont know about the OSX [04:57] spine: well, I have never heard of backtrack, so I think that was the problem, or the installer has problems [04:57] it's been very helpful [04:57] spine great tool isnt it? [04:58] @Wiesshund got it, thanks. i know os x should be last, was trying to decide between xp and ubuntu [04:58] shane-laptop: yeah it's not used much...i have various other compatability problems with it, but it's great for security testing [04:58] ps -ef | grep spine [04:58] jeeves_Moss: did you try: sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin [04:58] jinxzs: On the left side, is there an entry for GPU0? If so, what is the name in the ()? [04:58] shane-laptop, ok man, I'm going to work on this in the morning. The fiance is getting on my nerves right now [04:58] spine if you need to run backtrack, i would suggest installing it 1st on its own partition, THEN ubuntu [04:58] k, i think i will Wiesshund [04:59] spine i dont even know if backtrak is grub2 which could be an issue [04:59] there's supposedly a way to get them to dual boot [04:59] spine if you install ubuntu last, it usualy will pick up everything and let you boot any os you have [04:59] ok [04:59] Weisshund: I think bt is ubuntu based now. should not have issues with grub [05:00] spine but if you install it 1st then another dist installs and drops grub1 and another one lilo or something similar, it seems to botch the works [05:01] <_Snark> quick, only tengentially-related-to-ubuntu question, but! Anyone know if linux softraid can work with multiple controllers, or do all member disks need to be on the same controller? [05:01] spine but the nice thing is ubuntu reinstalls rather nice in that it wont touch anything not part of the actual install, if you dont format. it wont remove apps you compiles or hand downloaded nor touch your home folders etc. [05:01] wiesshund apparently backtrack uses grub 1. should installing grub 2 afterwards make things easier? [05:02] hello, I need help installing limewire deb on 10.04. It says it cant find java or icedtea deps but I installed default-jre.. so what is the deal? [05:02] spine installing grub1 ontop of grub2 with out uninstalling grub2 according to grub manul will bust things [05:02] i need help in backing up installed softwares..is there a backup app in ubuntu that can also restore installed softwares like the one they have for Mint 9? [05:02] wiesshund: what if you install a grub2 os on top of a grub1 os though? [05:02] Greetings, how do I install grub or grub2 onto my usb stick (sdb1) [05:02] spine, does it not allow you to *not* install a boot loader? and don't forget that you had partition issues which was the bigger issue === positron is now known as Guest24481 [05:03] venger: well i've deleted everything and am starting from scratch now [05:03] spine that doesnt seem to be a prob because the brub2 os's installer knows how to handle the upgrade [05:03] Suit_Of_Sables: You shouldn't install to a partition, you should install to the mbr. [05:03] redvil: find the name of that app, and see if it's available for ubuntu [05:03] venger: right now i'm installing the distro with grub 1, then i'm going to install ubuntu netbook edition after [05:03] spine but the grub1's os installer of course hasnt a clue how to down grade [05:03] right === Guest24481 is now known as grativon [05:04] im installing ubuntu, and im in the advanced options to set the bootloader to install to the ubuntu partition, rather than the MBR. but when i set the device for boot loader installation to "/dev/sda3", which is where ubuntu is being installed, the "OK" button is grayed out [05:04] rbedi99: Why are you installing to a partition? [05:04] Jordan_U: because i want to use chameleon to dual boot os x and ubuntu [05:04] I need help installing limewire on 10.04. The deb from limewire site says it cant find java or icedtea deps but I installed default-jre.. so what is the deal? [05:05] One last try for an idea where to look for the session num-lock status before I give up and boot Windows to try and solve the problem... The issue is: the sessions start with numlock on, and don't recognize the numlock key. The numpad is part of the letter keys, so when on I cannot do anything. I'm currently logged into a 80x25 console so the numlock is off (until I start a gui session). I need to [05:05] find the session file that controls the numlock behavior so I can edit it and stop it from starting sessions with numlock on. [05:05] spine grub 1 and 2 write similar things to the boot, but they arent worded the same etc. [05:05] thats what busted things up for you, mine was a typo [05:05] prince_jammys: there's none like it in the software centre..do you know of any that's like it for ubuntu? [05:05] Jordan_U: any ideas? [05:06] spine if you want a laugh, i broke mine because i accidently deleted the line that tells grub to actualy look for things to boot === gmiernicki is now known as GI [05:06] nice [05:06] why flash player for linux takes 160 MB? === GI is now known as gi [05:06] syivana: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed¿ [05:06] st__ say what? [05:07] rbedi99: grub2 can boot OSX directly, and can also load chameleon. I recommend (in order of preference, all fairly good setups) you either install grub2 to the mbr (and boot OSX directly from that), install grub2 to the mbr and load chameleon via multiboot rather than chainloading, or install chameleon to the mbr and load grub2 using multiboot rather than chainloading. [05:07] st__: flash sucks in linux [05:07] Wiesshund, ?? [05:07] xangua: No. [05:07] xangua: I will try installing it now [05:07] st__ id have to look but i dont remember flash being 160mb [05:07] is there a way to boost system-wide sound > 100%? something like vlc player does? [05:07] rbedi99: Installing a bootloader to a partition requires the use of blocklists, which are unreliable, and is therefore not recommended. [05:07] Jordan_U: so i can make grub boot OSX without using rEFIt, or any of that stuff? [05:07] rbedi99: Correct. [05:07] synaptic: 161 BM will be used, WTF? [05:07] aljosa int he sound mixer you can [05:08] anybody know why lucid is now mounting removable drives by uuid and not labels? or how to fix?? [05:08] Jordan_U: do i just add it to my menu.lst file? [05:08] rbedi99: "update-grub" will detect OSX and add an entry for it automagically. [05:08] Jordan_U: haha okay, just run "update-grub" in terminal? [05:08] rbedi99: Correct. [05:08] Jordan_U: great, thanks. will i have to get rid of chameleon? [05:09] Wiesshund: alsamixer or anything else is already at 100%, i would like to push it > 120%. [05:09] kmyst dont know how to fix offhand. something new they added [05:09] rbedi99: No, you can keep chameleon around if you want to, it doesn't conflict with grub (as long as you don't overwrite the mbr with chameleon of course). [05:10] aljosa my normal sound mixer goes to like 130% [05:10] Wiesshund: i figured, just sick of disks mounting as /media/UUID instead of /media/disk or /media/label [05:10] Jordan_U: how do i make sure it doesn't overwrite chameleon? various sources indicate that it does, by default [05:10] kmyst you install or cd boot? [05:10] Wiesshund: do you use alsamixer or something else? [05:10] Jordan_U: ah never mind, i misread what you wrote [05:10] rbedi99: grub2 will overwrite the mbr, but can load chameleon as a file from the filesystem using multiboot. [05:10] Random question is there a way to see how many packages are in the repo? [05:10] kmyst full install should show you the lable, but the liveCD shows you /media/asbe98skjhsd87 [05:11] Wiesshund: i have determined that /dev/disk/by-label isn't being generated [05:11] Jordan_U: yup, ok. thanks! [05:11] Wiesshund: full install [05:11] rbedi99: You're welcome. [05:11] aljosa i use the normal mixer unbuntu installs [05:12] kmyst: Are you sure you have partitions / filesystems with labels? The directory /dev/disk/by-label/ only exists when it's non-empty. [05:12] xangua: It did not help anything. Look, I still cannot install limewire http://pastebin.com/hqbZYMb5 [05:12] I need help installing limewire on 10.04. The deb from limewire site says it cant find java or icedtea deps but I installed default-jre.. so what is the deal? [05:12] kmyst hrm odd. i know off the cd or frugal install, it mounts them like that, but after install it mounts my ntfs drives by lable [05:13] !frostwire | syivana [05:13] syivana: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [05:13] Jordan_U, Lime. Wire. [05:13] Not frost wire [05:13] Jordan_U: uhhh pretty sure....purposely gave the disk a label of Backup and wrote some custom scripts which expect the drive to be mounted as /media/Backup... [05:13] From limewire.com, I downloaded the deb package but the dependencies are screwed up [05:14] for 10.04 [05:14] Well thanks for that massive outpouring of help. Not even a single response. I guess what file controls a session's numlock status on startup is too difficult a question to ask here. Bye. [05:14] @texastwister can i add you as a friend.. [05:14] Wiesshund: don't know, just ever since the upgrade to lucid all my drives whether they have labels or not are being mounted via UUID [05:14] kmyst did you look at the disk in disk manager, just to double check it has a lable? [05:15] syivana: have you tried gdebi?... like, in a terminal type 'sudo gdebi 'whatever'.deb ? [05:15] Wiesshund: nope, if it isn't being generated by udev in /dev/disk what would the point be? :) [05:15] kmyst ah. might have something to do with upgrading versus an install and import [05:16] Greetings all [05:17] collabra: No, I will try it now [05:17] collabra: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk [05:17] kmyst updates work fine, by i try to stick away from revision upgrades. some reason they dont always go as planned and give problems i can never figure out. [05:17] i need help i cant watch video on youtube [05:17] Wiesshund: i thought that...i know at least on intrepid live cd (which is the last disc i burned live cd wise) it will mount properly [05:17] please help me [05:17] and none of these packages are in 10.04 repos [05:17] because everything is renamed from 9.10 [05:18] I have a question about moving my linux install, if anyone would like to point me in the right direction. [05:18] syivana: you know,... frostwire is available in the repository,... it's very similar to limewire,... have you even looked at it? [05:18] ! flash | jinxzs [05:18] jinxzs: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:18] syivana you can add the 9.10 repositories, but that could cause problems [05:18] jinxzs: have you alreadu installed adobe flash plugin¿ did you install also others plugins like swfdec or gnash¿ [05:18] Wiesshund: heh i know what you mean but i've always been able to fix any quirks that crop up....been dist upgrading since breezy [05:18] collabra, Its named frostwire because it freezes up all the time and I yes I have tried it. I want limewire [05:18] collabra: no, it's not; you probably got it from getdeb [05:19] Wiesshund, No, I wont mix repos [05:19] jinxzs: I personally prefer watching youtube videos in Applications > Movie Player (which has a built in youtube browsing plugin) than via the browser with buggy flash, though it's starting to get better in the browser with html5 and webm. [05:19] syivana run win32 limewire? its an option for now [05:20] how to install it? just like in windows? download and install? [05:20] xangua: you're right,... musta been another distro. [05:20] jinxzs: Install software (including flash) via Applications > Ubuntu Software Center. [05:20] Wiesshund: hey figure this out, insert a dvd that has a label and it works [05:20] Wiesshund: I will build limewire from source before that happens [05:20] Jordan_U what? no ~/Movies/youtube_movie.flv ? [05:20] xangua: in fact it was linux mint..... lol. [05:21] okay i will do it thanks jordan [05:21] jinxzs and Jordan_U an easier way [05:21] Wiesshund: plug up a usb stick or external drive with labels and it chokes and falls back to UUID [05:21] install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:21] kmyst that is odd [05:21] Wiesshund: you're telling me [05:22] jinxzs: You're welcome. [05:22] kmyst if automount, assume fs=iso9660 lol [05:22] jinxzs and Jordan_U it will not only install flash, it'll install other restricted stuff as well like codecs, etc [05:22] Wiesshund: almost seems like its a udev rule, which i can't recall if i'm missing rules or not [05:22] Wiesshund: yeah really [05:22] HinHin: That's what I personally *don't* like about restricted-extras :) [05:22] @HinHin how? [05:22] I installed Lucid Lynx from windows 7 and now I would like to delete win7 and format the disk with ext and put my current install and files back on the disk. What is the best way to do that? [05:23] kmyst cant say there, ive never had much reason to set rules for udev on my own pc's [05:23] jinxzs, goto terminal type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:23] and enter your password [05:23] brandoney: copy your home to save your settings and files [05:24] Jordan_U, :P I like being able to watch DVDs, and common video formats [05:24] to restore apps i don't know, some one¿¿ tell brandoney please ;) [05:24] @HinHin is it okay to to type that while the flash is installing? [05:24] brandoney copy /home to a USB or CD etc [05:24] jinxzs, you can't install it while flash is being installed [05:24] HinHin: Restricted-extras won't get you libdvdcss for DRM'D DVDs though. [05:24] Wiesshund: i've had a few occasions i needed to...but i meant i can't recall whethere i had more than 4 rules which i think back a few dist updgrades i did have a good number of them meaning they got nuked [05:24] xangua restore apps?, probably just as easy to regrab them from the software manager [05:25] jinxzs: Applications > Ubuntu Software Center, search for "restricted extras" and click install. It will install most audio and vidio codecs plus some other things like flash and java. [05:25] Jordan_U: i ran update-grub, but booting into os x hangs on "using 5242 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers" [05:25] okay thanks..after installing the flash i will work into that [05:25] ok flash is done [05:26] I dont believe you can flat out Xfer a wubi install to a real one, theres alot of differences between the 2 [05:27] is there is something like notepad here to jotdown what i learned? i dont like tomboy note [05:28] jinxzs: gedit [05:28] rbedi99: Then you can load chameleon from your OSX partition by adding a menu entry like this to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom http://pastebin.com/nkKEpgiQ [05:29] Jordan_U: but installing grub overwrote chameleon.. [05:29] after flash installed i cant still watch youtube. i just w8 until the restricted extras is finisehd [05:29] rbedi99: No, it overwrote the portion of chameleon that was in the mbr, it's still there in the filesystem. [05:29] Jordan_U: got it. trying that now. [05:30] rbedi99: You can find the UUID of your OSX partition with "sudo grub-probe -t fs_uuid -d /dev/sdXY" [05:31] okay, do i need to replace the XY with anything? [05:31] I did --force-depends and limewire works at least but where are the skins? hadn't used this program in years [05:31] rbedi99: Yes, with the drive letter and partition number, so if your OSX partition is the first partition on the first drive it would be "/dev/sda1". [05:32] rbedi99: You'll then need to replace "UUID" in the menu entry I linked to with the output from grub-probe. [05:32] rbedi99: I need to leave for about half an hour. === CorpX is now known as Tim [05:32] Jordan_U: okay, i'll PM you if it doesn't work [05:33] Jordan_U: should it be a ~15 char. alphanumeric string? [05:33] I've just installed ubuntu but I'm unable to connect wireless [05:34] elitexray, do you see your wireless interface in ifconfig and iwconfig? [05:34] No I don't [05:34] elitexray what wifi adapter? asking because there are some not supported [05:35] I have 2wire wireless === Tim is now known as CorpX [05:36] is it pci, or usb or whaT? [05:36] elitexray youd have to check it on the hardware compatibility list, if its not there, you could check its compatibility with ndiswrapper [05:36] Is this information on my router? I'm not sure [05:36] elitexray can you see it via running lsusb or lspci in terminal? [05:37] i typed it ipconfig to get "no command ipconfig' === tremmons is now known as iflema [05:37] Can someone please help me, I've just installed ppa edgers including the updated kernel 2.6.34 and I keep getting low graphics mode on startup.

[05:39] I dont think its USB [05:39] Hi all! new to Ubuntu, wondering if i should trade in my Radeon 2600 xt for an Nvidia card, as im not going back to windows hopefully ever. id love to stick with ATi though.

[05:39] Yeah [05:40] Stiq: nvidia has better linux support [05:40] Can someone please help me, I've just installed ppa edgers including the updated kernel 2.6.34 and I keep getting low graphics mode on startup. I have a Radeon HD 4600, how can I get it to recognize my graphics card? [05:40] elitexray ok pci then. your on the laptop now with a wired adapter? [05:40] my laptop isn't wired to my router, I usually go on wireless [05:41] elitexray your showing an eth0 with an address though?

I did it, but I keep getting a low-graphics mode bootup and it doesn't recognize my video card, can you give me any advice? [05:43] Ok!

[05:45] elitexray in your message window [05:45] sorry I did not get a message [05:45] strangely [05:45] MaRk-I:d=f [05:46] I'm still searching for a solution... can ubunut support the ATI Radeon x1400 doing dual screens? Worked great in windows... [05:46] MaRk-I: I was warned not to have an xorg.conf when I was upgrading, so I renamed it xorg.conf.dist, would that have something to do with it? [05:46] It does not resemble such [05:47] Is there a package that I need to download in order to detect wireless in range? [05:47] shouldn't be, elitexray [05:47] just the driver [05:48] Under my icon, it saids "device not ready" under wireless network [05:48] Marcus: you could try: sudo X -configure or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:49] And wired network "disconnected" [05:49] any workarounds for netflix streaming yet? other than vbox?

[05:52] hi all [05:52] Blue11, youre having the problem with wireless? [05:52] i am [05:53] tucemiux: I did with ubuntu 9.10 [05:53] !hello | Tatraka [05:53] Tatraka: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [05:53] i had probs with usb wireless card.. had to blacklist [05:53] tucemiux: backporting however, DID fix my problem [05:53] Marcus: if it's resolution problems try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [05:53] backtrap 4 dont reconise my wifi [05:53] MaRk-I: it has 256, so you mean I should: Option "RenderAccel" "off" ? [05:53] what kind of network card? [05:53] Blue11, on a netbook I found I had to manually install the wireless drivers, I had to go to "hardware" applet and ubuntu remix automatically detected my wireless [05:53] good day.What program do you recommend for mountin iso files in10.04 ? [05:54] atheros [05:54] more that it won't work with the second monitor at all [05:54] tucemiux: do you know what kind of card? [05:54] AviMarcus: huh.. no I said dont if your card has more than [05:54] Do I manually add wireless connection to my ubuntu under network connections? [05:54] i had no prob with netbook.. i think they secretly made the atom to take advantage of linux.. runs so much smoother than any windoze [05:54] it sees it, offers the right resolution, just it goes all fuzzy on this monitor and won't work at all on that one [05:54] Blue11, on the particular notebook that I triedit on? I cant remember the card, it's a dell notebook, I do know that it works though [05:54] yup I have an ahtheros card -- [05:55] 9,10 was uber flakey [05:55] I'm not a big fan of using a static IP just to make port forwarding easier for my SSH connection. Is there a safer way to go about this that I'm just not thinking about? [05:55] ok, i have a problem with multiple browsers, they all use webkit, whenever i load any javascript heavy site, like acid3 test, they all crash. [05:55] atheros ar5006ex [05:55] anyone knowanything about fuppes? [05:55] elitexray no, the adapter should appear if its being seen and installed by the OS [05:55] Tatraka: let me see what I had [05:55] i use Konqueror( with webkit), Arora, and rekonq [05:55] ok [05:56] Tatraka: atheros ar 9xxx [05:56] Is there a way to obtain the required driver in order to get this to work? [05:56] elitexray: what version of ubuntu ru running? [05:56] It's 10.4 the latest one I Just downloaded [05:56] thanks, I gotta run, I'll try reading all those pages [05:56] backtrak 4 [05:57] elitexray you can click system > admin > hardware and see if there is a driver for it to load [05:57] hello [05:57] why did they postphone 10.04.1? [05:57] elitexray: sounds like an old card... [05:57] anyone having the same problem? [05:57] anyone any good with the 'find' command? [05:57] RealOpty: no that's why I cheat and use locate [05:57] id like to use it to search all the files in a folder for a string. [05:57] good day.What program do you recommend for mountin iso files in10.04 ? [05:57] I get the message "downloading package indexes failed, please check network status. Most drivers will not be available" [05:57] Blue11, for sure. [05:57] hello could someone tell me how much ram i should set my guest virtualbox xp sp 2 pro machine to, if my host is ubuntu 10.04 x86 with 2 gigs of ram? what would be recommended? No gaming on it or anything. [05:58] Its just strange because the internet connection worked on fedora before I installed ubuntu over it [05:58] jshmoe24, just use 512mb or less [05:58] i tried to install madwifi but i got an error [05:58] i cannot find a solution for crashes with webkit browsers, it might be qtwebkit's problem [05:59] jshmoe24, you can probably get away with 256 but I would use at a minimum 512, if youre using just one virtual machine and you have 2 gigs of RAM i would give it 1024 megs, that's 1 gig of memory [05:59] elitexray does this laptop have a wired ethernet adapter in it also? [05:59] Yes [05:59] What program do you recommend for mounting iso files in ubuntu 10.04 ? [05:59] elite ok thats your eth0 [05:59] travis_, you might have to find someone who uses the software with ubuntu if you want help with that one, most likely the problem is not with ubuntu though [05:59] Have a simple networking question if anyone has a sec? [06:00] How can I get ubuntu to start a dummy xserver on startup instead of gdm? [06:00] So how do I use this information [06:00] elitexray in terminal type lspci see if you can locate the wireless adapter in the output [06:00] lostdata: go ahead [06:00] tucemiux, if i can find someone, theres not much information about it [06:01] I have 2 computers computers running linux 10.4 one the client version and one the netbook version, i have installed samba on both but when checking the other computer i have a share on I only see printers [06:01] Diverdude, archive manager? It all depends on what you want to do with the ISO? you want to actually mount the ISO? [06:01] none of the share folders i setup [06:01] I see 802.11g wireless lan controller [06:01] i filed a bug, but all im getting is marked duplicates, which have nothing on them either [06:01] lostdata: first thing to do - can each machine ping the other machine? [06:01] Also i see ethernet controller : realtek semiconductor co [06:01] ya pings are good [06:01] elitexray it says no further info on its exact type? [06:01] any i know how can i resolve linux-image-2.6.34_2.6.34-10.00.custom-bt8_i386.deb [06:01] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [06:02] it lists a lot of information [06:02] it sees the other computer but only see the print$ folder [06:02] I see PCI's [06:02] lostdata: not what I asked - can you ping the other machine from each computer? [06:02] yes [06:02] does anyone know why a ehole bunch of sites arent displayed correctly in konqueror using khtml? mainly youtube and yahoo mail [06:03] lostdata, sorry to take this off topic but I just want to know what you are trying to accomplish with samba and your two machines, there might be an easier way of doing things, what are trying to do with your 2 machines and samba? [06:03] lostdata: let me find something brb [06:03] elitexray no, only the line pertaining to the wireless card [06:03] hello,I have a question [06:03] The Ubuntu said it can't open fil:// [06:04] The Ubuntu said it can't open file:// [06:04] I believe its 802.11g wireless lan controller [06:04] i'm just trying to do basic file sharing between two ubuntu machines [06:04] lostdata: there's a link here: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=309 that simplifes the process [06:04] like this 无法打开位置“file:///home/randy/%E4%B8%8B%E8%BD%BD” [06:04] travis_: khtml was replaced by webkit, and you can use "user agent" to fool the sites you're using newer firefox/IE versions [06:04] elitexray i looked up your card, it will require using ndiswrapper and the windows drivers (xp or 2k) [06:05] any 1 know how can i correct linux-image-2.6.34_2.6.34-10.00.custom-bt8_i386.deb [06:05] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [06:05] ?? [06:05] MaRk-I, ive done that, but they're still rendered incorrectly [06:05] So once I have this, I should be able to detect wireless in range? [06:05] elitexray its old and doesnt appear to be supported directly in ubuntu anymore [06:05] it seems to me that KHTML isnt that standards compliant as everyone says [06:05] elitexray should be able to yes, you will need to look up and read on ndiswrapper [06:06] thnx for the link [06:06] lostdata, if all you want to do is something like creating a folder on your desktop and have that folder on your laptop and have that folder updated on both machines then I highly recommend you use ssh, that is what I did when I first began researching, I have an ssh server on my desktop, I can update my files locally or over the internet ***securely*** [06:06] And I would need windows drivers on ubuntu? [06:06] travis_: tried with rekonq also? [06:07] tucemiux, i just wanna look at its contents [06:07] Arggg, where is my root?!? [06:07] I installed Lucid Lynx from win7. I'm looking in gparted but I only see one partition with win7 on it. Where did ubuntu get installed? [06:07] ok thnx [06:07] i love running ubuntu from flash drive on other ppl's computers..lol [06:08] MaRk-I, it crashes when loading any site, just like arora and konqueror(using webkit), and i cant find a solution to fix it [06:08] brandoney: It's located on your windowspartition [06:08] brandoney:can you send screnn to me [06:08] konqueror using khtml works [06:08] That's what I figured. [06:08] Is a folder? [06:08] in a folder? [06:08] brandoney, you install from wubi [06:08] Diverdude, youre right clicking at the ISO and you dont have an option to open it?? You should see various options, something like "Open with brasero", "Open with archive manager", I use archive manager [06:08] yeah [06:08] elitexray yes ndiswrapper requires the windows drivers to work. its helpful if you type part of my name and hit hit tab, easier to see someone is talking to me :) [06:09] brandoney: i don't remember.... it's been so long since i used wubi. [06:09] ah yeah sorry [06:09] Can I just grab that install and move it to another disk, then reformat and move it back then reinistall grub? [06:09] brandoney its not in a partition its in something like c:\program files\ubuntu\something.img [06:09] everything using webkit crashes [06:10] brainproxy, you just run on windows partition [06:10] so you can't not see linux partition [06:10] brandoney wubi isnt a true install, its a compressed imag on your windows file system [06:10] I'm trying to get rid of win7 and reclaim space and move to jfs or ext [06:10] tucemiux, yeah i tried that also, but when i try to open it with archive manager, it opens a folder allright, but all the files and folders inside are just called ___ [06:10] brandoney: i dont' think it works that way .... you either install it fresh, dual boot, or it goes on your windows partition [06:10] hrmmm [06:11] I just got everything installed the way I want it. [06:11] Wiesshund I've transferred ndiswrapper from this laptop onto ubuntu [06:11] Diverdude, what ISO are you trying to open?? [06:11] is there any way to save a song from web streaming with rhythmbox? [06:11] brandoney you will need to copy /home to a cd or usb drive. then do a full HD install of linux, then copy home back [06:11] charley__: I know how to do that with youtube... [06:11] tucemiux, ultima Collection iso file [06:11] bummer. I was hoping to avoid reinstall. [06:11] thanks guys./ [06:11] anyone have trouble with webkit crashing? i think qtwebkit? [06:12] Blue11, yes but youtube's quality sucks much [06:12] charley__: they are okay... [06:12] hi. I installed ubuntu (Gnome). Now i installed xfce via synaptic. How to force linux to load xfce instead of Gnome? [06:12] i have the song url, and its playing on rhythmbox, but cant save it to my hd :( [06:12] elitexray install the ndiswrapper, and get your windows driver files handy, need the infs and dlls [06:12] igor-explorer_12, sudo dpkg -r xfec [06:13] igor-explorer_12: at login window select xfce it'll ask you if you want that by default [06:13] What specifically are those windows drivers? [06:13] @wiesshund [06:13] igor-explorer_12, when you click your name on login, there should be a menu that says gnome, click on it and select xfce or xubuntu [06:13] igor-explorer_12 : you can choose xfce at the login screen. [06:13] on bottom of screen [06:13] i means dpkg-reconfigure [06:13] so i need reboot? i don't remember that this choice is present [06:13] elitexray what or where? you will probably have to download them if you dont have them on a disk [06:14] igor-explorer_12, you should reboot [06:14] ok i'll try [06:14] igor-explorer_12, you shouldnt have to, i didnt hve to [06:14] thank you all [06:14] its really strange that I would need windows drivers for my ubuntu setup -_- [06:14] igor-explorer_12, Another way,in system menu [06:14] igor-explorer_12 : it's at the bottom of the login screen. look for a menu. [06:15] igor-explorer_12: kill xorg, edit ~/.xinitrc and add an option to start xfce instead of gnome [06:15] igor-explorer_12, sysytem->sysytem and setting ->login srceen [06:15] and then run startx [06:15] or use the gui [06:15] elitexray the wireless adapter you have is old, builtin support for it was probably dropped a while ago, i see people having issues with in in posts dated 2005 [06:15] how to kill X? ctrl+alt+xxxxx? [06:16] igor-explorer_12, yes [06:16] hello All. I have netbook HP Mini 2133 with resolution 1280x600. X-window works fine, but at text console still wrong resolution. i can't find correct mode number, i have searched in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers , but there's no my resolution. tell me please, where should i look for? [06:16] elitexray the wireless is built in to the laptop? [06:17] Yes === BrendenB is now known as Guest10971 [06:17] elitexray what model laptop? [06:18] Fedora could easily detect my wireless. It's surprising that it couldnt on ubuntu -- it's a hp pavillion dv5224nr [06:19] elitexray its not surprising, ubuntu cycles out "out dated" hardware when they upgrade kernels etc. [06:19] nevermind, firefox did the trick ;) [06:19] elitexray an older distro would probably still run it. === mason is now known as masoncloud [06:20] Hey guys === james is now known as Guest76834 [06:20] elitexray http://boxysystems.com/?p=37 [06:20] is there any repo with the lastest version of libavcodec? [06:20] and libavutil [06:20] elitexray: I've had decent luck trying to run SuSE on older hardware -- I DID manage to get ubuntu 10.04 to work on a 10 year old compaq deskpro - after I learned the magic incanatations [06:21] Blue11 that the incantation that starts or you mothe.................... [06:21] Wiesshund: hang just a sec [06:21] elitexray http://boxysystems.com/?p=37 [06:21] Yes I'm reading that article, It's really similiar to my situation [06:21] same 2wire router as well [06:21] elitexray sorry man i hit uparrow [06:22] No worries [06:22] Wiesshund: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=325 [06:22] article has link to download the driver files you need as well [06:22] quit [06:23] I think that article has outdated version of ndiswrapper [06:23] as the one I have is 1.56 and the one in the article is 1.42 [06:23] Wiesshund: that required 4 reloads of linux + updates to figure out [06:23] Blue11 kind of reminds me of trying to run linux on old compaq p166 laptops and make everything actualy work [06:24] stacks of redhat and slackware floppies seeing which distro might not puke [06:24] Hello,a have a problem,when I click on menu->place->home ,it siad "can not open file:///home/randy” [06:24] I am following the first line of instruction to install ndiswrapper however the command isn't working [06:24] elitexray 1 sec [06:24] quick question: how do I fix this:Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [06:24] meep_: you need to register your nick [06:25] and good evening all [06:25] !register | meep_ [06:25] meep_: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[06:27] I haven't been able to get pass that step yet [06:28] elitexray you hand copied ndiswrapper correct? if so what is the package name? [06:29] shane-laptop: well [06:29] spine hi how did it go? [06:29] it didn't work [06:29] spine ? [06:29] One sec. I had to restart my laptop [06:29] i'm getting the exact same problem [06:29] despite deleting the partitions and reinstalling both from scratch [06:29] i have no clue how [06:30] "gave up waiting for root device" [06:30] spine did you try just installign ubuntu alone? [06:30] wiesshund this time i installed backtrack then ubuntu [06:30] wiesshund the package name is ndiswrapper-1.56.tar.gz [06:30] backtrack will boot, ubuntu will not [06:31] elitexray can you plug that laptop into the net via its wired adapter? [06:31] spine, you may try using multiboot? did you try just ubuntu alone? [06:31] now [06:31] Oh, you mean plug my ubuntu laptop with ethernet cable? [06:31] well, ubuntu worked fine when i had it alone originally. the goal here is to multiboot obviously. [06:32] elitexray yes [06:32] Is this a test or you know for sure it'll work? [06:32] elitexray im asking have you any way to temporarily connect the laptop to the internet by wire? [06:32] I have to relocate my workstation as my router is not in the viciinity [06:32] Oh no [06:32] I haven't [06:33] not everyone has a spare 300 foot patch cord in the closet ;) [06:33] ShuttleWorth.. professes root is mad at root.. [06:33] I can go try but that would make it'll take me longer to repond [06:33] mean* [06:33] Hello,a have a problem,when I click on menu->place->home ,it siad "can not open file:///home/randy” [06:34] Ok, brb, Let me try [06:34] elitexray http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9/download [06:35] elitexray you want the .deb package so you can 1 click install it [06:35] Great! thanks [06:35] elitexray: if you need deps, run: sudo apt-get -f install ,and it may help [06:37] spine you can try to use LILO instead [06:37] @Wiesshund -- I seem to have encountered some error installing that .deb package. [06:38] ActionParsnip he has no net connect [06:38] i think i better, wiesshund [06:38] i have no idea why this isn't working [06:38] Wiesshund: ah, that'll make it extra fun [06:38] i can boot into it from the recovery console [06:38] "Error: dependency is not satisfiable:ndiswrapper-common" [06:38] but i only get the CLI there [06:39] elitexray: then you need the deb for that too [06:39] if i try to boot normally i just get "gave up waiting for root device" and then busybox/initramfs comes up [06:39] with alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/lots of hex does not exist [06:39] spine: is the / in /etc/fstab defined correctly? [06:39] spine hence other people hating uuid's [06:40] err [06:40] don't know what you mean actionparsnip [06:40] spine: if you run: sudo blkid ,you can see if those letters match the outputted ones, you may need to boot to livecd to check / make alterations [06:40] parsnip i can boot to my other linux distro [06:41] i just worked through this same problem hours ago, they told me to just delete all my partitions and reinstall...i did, and now i'm having almost the same issue [06:41] spine you might give Action a quick rundown of whats going on, he might have an idea [06:41] configure: WARNING: Library libgoom2 needed for goom was not found [06:41] except now at least i can boot into one of them, but not ubuntu [06:41] I cant find libgoom2 in ubuntu repo [06:41] does anyone know where I can find it? [06:41] spine: if your fstab file uuids don't match the ones outputted by blkid then that's why you aren't getting a boot. You can also use old school /dev entries instead of uuids [06:42] !find goom [06:42] File goom found in freej, goo, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-dbg, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-doc (and 2 others) [06:42] actionparsnip: so how can i fix this? [06:42] ActionParsnip are you saying if you mounts the partition and edits fstab and ditches the uuid it will boot? [06:42] spine: boot to livecd or other distro and run blkid using sudo. Then open fstab on the OS with no boot and compare [06:43] Wiesshund: if the uuid doesn't match then it can mount it to boot [06:43] Cannot* [06:43] gotta love uuid's ;-) [06:43] actionparsnip: i ran blkid in the busybox prompt [06:43] should i run it in another distro? [06:44] spine my fstab looks like this UUID=e89073e0-031a-47d8-a33b-da1c82a2b554 / [06:44] spine: good enough, not necessary. Does it mount the code you get in the error? [06:44] anyonw know of a good phpshell (like connects to a active shell with limited CMDS [06:44] errr [06:44] well, sda7 has the same UUID as what' sin the error [06:44] what's* [06:44] and i believe sda7 is what i'm trying to boot to [06:44] spine i think action is saying make it read /dev/sda1 / ? [06:45] spine: i'd use the ubuntu desktop cd to test. You can also mount the partition with the bad fstab on to make changes if needed [06:45] or what ever sdaY is correct [06:45] ok [06:45] spine you got 7 partitions? [06:45] Hi, is there a way to change the gdm background image? [06:45] I think I Finally got ndiswrapper to install =) [06:46] spine: if its the same then you can use /dev/sda7 instead of uuid=blahblah but if you do change stuff backup the old one first [06:46] syivana the login screen? [06:46] actionparsnip this is a fresh install, so no need to backup anything [06:46] i just reinstalled everything in an attempt to fix it [06:46] how to install yahoo messenger [06:46] Wiesshund: I found gdmsetup, will see if it does what I need it to [06:46] spine: I would.

[06:48] spine: its just a text file so copy it to a new name like Wiesshund says. Make sure you don't copy it to the livecd environment as the file will be lost [06:48] says "cannot stat fstab: no such file or directory" [06:48] login screen you can change with the app splash screen, people call every screen in the boot sequence gdm so i gotta ask [06:49] spine you cd /etc ?

Thanks for the article [07:03] spine yes, ONLY thing you change is UUID=baaaaaaaaaaaaahhh to /dev/sdXY [07:04] tik: I don't use gyachi. the ppa should have the depends it needs. [07:04] tik: report a bug perhaps [07:04] kim27: This isn't a grub problem, it's most likely a problem with the kernel and that machines particular USB hardware. [07:04] wiesshund: oh...so i shouldn't have changed anything else? [07:05] Jordan_U, I do believe the USB Drive is 1.1, does the default kernel support that? [07:05] alguien habla aqui espaniol [07:05] spine no :( why..... [07:05] well i undo'd it [07:05] should be okay [07:05] alguien habla aqui espaniol [07:05] alguien habla aqui espaniol [07:05] you made a backup right?

[07:06] Grr.. Wiesshund. That was unsuccessful [07:06] k this should be good [07:06] so, just try restarting after i do that? [07:06] elitexray you got ndiswrapper installed? [07:06] Yeah [07:06] spine yes [07:06] kim27: Yes, the kernel supports 1.1 (and all other versions of USB, including USB 3.0). I mean that there is likely a compatability problem with the drivers for your particular USB controller or (less likely) a quirk with that particular drive / enclosure. === fabio is now known as fabio__ [07:06] elitexray and did you have it load windows drivers?

I can't see it in the update manager [07:08] Jordan_U thanks for the help [07:08] ibrahim might not be ready or might not be a release build yet [07:08] I'm not sure how to do that @wiesshund [07:08] ibrahim: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ manualy [07:08] Wiesshund: http://www.linux.com/news/software/linux-kernel/337604-the-2635-kernel-is-out [07:08] kim27: What is the particular error message when you get the kernel panic? I thought at first that you had said that it was an error about not finding the root device but re-reading you never actually said that. [07:09] elitexray youve got to run ndiswrapper and load the win drivers in, or no it wont do anything [07:09] I have a problem booting Ubuntu. Im running ubuntu version 10.04 and on grub it show 2 of them, .00 and .20 i think (the othre numbers i dont remember, but i can restart if you need it). When i start any of them, it goes to a black screen and the keyboard turns off. [07:09] ibrahim eh ill load it when its older hehe [07:09] I see. Should ndiswrapper be under applications menu? [07:10] Or do i run it through terminal? [07:10] i have the same error as here http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9181819 it's required to purge all php related packages. How do i do that? [07:10] the only thing i can do is restart the computer. sometimes it returns some error messages related to CPU_INIT... many of them related to that... and the only thing i can do is restart the computer [07:10] fabio__: Have you tried booting into recovery mode?

[07:15] fabio__: It's just that problems that pop up seemingly without explanation are often due to bad RAM. If you've already run memtest for a while without problems then that's probably not the issue.

What is an RSA identity? [07:41] I think those two issues might be related [07:41] hotstew: what kind of lan card?

[07:41] Netgear WG311v3, I use ndiswrapper for it === sree is now known as sreR [07:41] fabio__: we check if the errors are really the hardware if possible describe the error on that machine so we can analyse if its a hardware failure or what [07:41] How do I change the duration of "administrative privilege" after entering the password once. [07:42] mm2000: same with google chrome? [07:42] hi, I need to verify that restricted software restrictions do not apply in my country of legal residence === vincent is now known as Guest75530 === MrSunshine__ is now known as MrSunshine [07:42] hey_boy theres a icon to click to drop the permission immediately, im not sure on the default timer [07:42] good luck [07:43] bullgard4: rsa is a public key encryption an rsa identity just identifies the host [07:43] Guest75530 uh youd have to look up your country on google [07:44] bullgard4: this may/may not help: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=252 [07:44] Guest75530 what country do you live in? [07:44] so that restricted software is from the restricted repo? [07:44] I live in the Netherlands Wiesshund [07:44] scriptwarlock, Yes and any other browser [07:44] Guest75530 oh those? just media decoders. they are restricted because they arent open source [07:45] so do the restrictions not apply in the Netherlands? [07:45] Guest75530 mp4 mp4 divx avi etc types of codecs [07:45] they are all ok? [07:45] @Wiesshund , no, not yet. Ubuntu is currently installing updates. [07:45] Im not sure there are restrictions per country on a codec itself [07:45] Wiesshund: I am not having any such (keys) icon appearing in my system tray. Do I need to enable it? [07:46] can I confirm, Wiesshund? [07:46] hey_boy i font believe so, it just shows up in the alert panel, and says something to the effect of drop all elevated privleges [07:47] so I can't confirm? [07:47] Wiesshund? [07:47] Vincent yea far as i know there is nothing country restricted about them [07:47] its just that they are not open source, the codecs belong to people like sony etc who dont do open source, so ubuntu cant put them in any official package [07:48] Vincent, virtualy ALL windows installations come with all those codecs, simply cause uncle bill can afford to buy them [07:48] hey_boy: are you talking about extending the password "timeout" of sudo? [07:49] Can't uncle Mark buy them for us too? :( [07:49] how do i boot into text mode? [07:50] single user mode, should be the second instance of the same kernel version, and marked recovery iirc [07:51] i5noc, by single-user mode what do you mean exactly? with upstart we are getting away from sysv conventions [07:51] anyone kno hwo to add "delete" toothe menu? [07:51] thune3: yes [07:51] hey_boy it seems the key icon only pops up is root permission remains longer than a few seconds aside from the app youve already opened with it [07:51] #I`Love`Naples [07:52] tik: delete what to what menu?

[07:52] blitzo, if you read the whole sentance it should be clear [07:52] let me check [07:52] >>>>should be the second instance of the same kernel version, and marked recovery iirc<<<< [07:52] Thopter: usually just moving the mouse will put the screen back on - [07:52] Thopter you could turn off the power management? [07:52] Thopter: or hitting a key [07:52] whrere can I set the gnome icon size? [07:53] nm I found a link [07:53] Blue11: it's for an alarm-clock, so I need it automated [07:53] Wiesshund: or that [07:53] i5noc, i wasn't sure you were talking to me, first of all, and second, there is no fallback on a brand new system, and third, how do i make text mode the default [07:53] http://ubuntuguide.net/add-delete-permanently-into-ubuntu-nautilus-right-click-menu [07:53] Thopter: gnome-typing-monitor? [07:53] blitzo, there is [07:53] when booting hold shift if you dont see any menus [07:53] I want the screen to turn off after 10 minutes, but I also want it to turn back on at a specific time [07:53] hi there, I am having some problems with my internet connection. For some reason some webpages loads very fast and som very slow (or not at all) Any ideas what the problem can be? I have make sure ipv6 is off and I have the same problem in both firefox and chrome. [07:53] Thopter: you could do a cronjob [07:53] there SHOULD be two kernel lines for each kernel version as stated, install suspect otherwise [07:54] anyway gtg for a sec [07:54] what do you use for an irc client on ubuntu? [07:54] Blue11: looking for the command to put in the cronjob ^_^ [07:54] i5noc, i presume that gives a grub2 menu? is text mode an option or do i have to feed is a param? [07:54] Karen_m: XChat works good [07:54] Thopter: that I can't help you with sorry -- I just move the mouse and it's all good - [07:55] Thopter: so you are wanting to use your computer for an alarm clock? [07:55] just choose the second param or edit it and see for yourself how its made ok brb [07:55] i installed google chrome and the weird thing is, it did not pop into Applications->Internet. Where do things usually get installed to? [07:55] thopter what do you mean by screen turn off/turn on? [07:55] Blue11: yes, actually a sunrise-simulator... I have a script set up to slowly brighten the screen, I just need it to turn on first [07:55] Karen_m: do a which chrome and it should tell you [07:55] Hmm, still need a solution why my WLAN stops receiving data after a few hours and shut down has problems after that [07:55] Thopter: interesting - but sorry I don't know how to do that... [07:55] yay! === tik is now known as TiK [07:56] Karen_m: better use chromium, is already in fx repository and it's open source [07:56] hotstew: what type of card? [07:56] whrere can I set the gnome icon size? [07:56] blitzo: gnome-power-manager will turn off the monitor after so many idle minutes, completely off... I want to turn it back on at a specific time [07:56] fx repository? [07:56] Netgear WG311v3 and I use the XP driver over ndiswrappe [07:56] rr [07:56] ubuntu* Karen_m [07:57] thopter disable that, and set your screen saver to blank screen no password on startup [07:57] hotstew: beyond my knowledge level sorry [07:57] okay thx :S [07:58] hello guys I `ve got a serious problem I can`t connect to web pages I can download some programs from software center but I never connect to a webpage anyidea ? [07:58] teknohan: sounds like a dns problem [07:58] blitzo: so the screen will reactivate once my script is activated? [07:58] thopter try it and see - i don't knpw - that's my best guess [07:58] teknohan try to ping www.google.com [07:59] Blue11: I tried already [07:59] teknohan what happpens when you try to connect to a web page? [07:59] teknohan: sounds like you might have the proxy settings set up wrong [07:59] blitzo: connection has been cutted it said [07:59] elitexray hows it going? [07:59] teknohan, that is not a standard error. please tell me exactly what it says [08:00] Thopter: I just start using ubuntu and I never touch any setting [08:00] cutted? [08:00] Wiesshund, that's his interpretation - we need to know the exact error [08:00] Thopter: gnome-screensaver-command command could be used in scripts/cron for deactivating screensaver (not sure about locked though). see manpage for options [08:00] Wiesshund: let me tell you I think it was proxy but I never touch any setting [08:01] I just start ubuntu and that is it [08:01] Blue11: I need more time to understand the article which you recommended to read. [08:01] I am living turkey [08:01] teknohan if you cant ping www.google.com but can ping 74.125.65.106 then its a dns issue [08:01] teknohan, we need to know the exact error in order to help you [08:01] if ubuntu`s proxy is not alowed here I can`t connect [08:01] ! [08:01] bullgard4: it's complex but tried to make the recipe as simple as possible - don't know if that's what you are trying to do. [08:02] teknohan, if you aren't going to answer me then good luck! can't help without info [08:02] using the screensaver won't work for me. it appears black, yes, but the backlight is on still [08:02] teknohan ubuntu doesnt use any proxy unless you tell it to [08:02] blitzo: sorry [08:02] how can i open the brouser as root [08:02] blitzo: it says time promlem [08:03] eliezer: you should NEVER do that... [08:03] blitzo: I have no idea what does it mean [08:03] eliezer sudo firefox ? but why?? [08:03] so I still need to have gnome-power-manager turn off the screen, and I need some command to turn it back on [08:03] eliezer, really bad idea [08:03] teknohan: connection timeout? [08:03] Thopter: yes [08:03] teknohan copy and paste exact error from firefox screen [08:03] i mean the computer brouser [08:03] Thopter: it said that [08:03] eliezer: nautilus? [08:04] Wiesshund, tell him how to use pastebin pls, i don't know how to set that up [08:04] Wiesshund: connection time out I can`t do that now [08:04] eliezer: sudo nautilus [08:04] I use other system [08:04] i need to move some pictures to use with DVD styler to use as backgrond [08:04] but i get a error [08:04] need to be root [08:04] !pastebin | teknohan [08:04] teknohan: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[08:05] teknohan: every webpage, or just one site? [08:05] Thopter: all [08:05] blitzo he wants to copy pics from dvd to the background folder i think [08:06] Wiesshund, don't need a browser for that...

[08:06] http://pastebin.com/M35egypS [08:06] teknohan: if all you are trying to do is change the background image, copy to your home directory, and then point it there. [08:07] oh my god!

[08:08] teknohan: sorry [08:08] blitzo im just guessing thats what he wants to do? [08:08] what's the best html editor or css/php editor, whatever kind of editor that I should be using? I'm looking for something that colorizes and has many features [08:08] i figure i dont know how to do in terminal [08:08] whrere can I set the gnome icon size? [08:08] there is a brouser u run as root [08:08] anyone has idea about dns wi [08:08] i can manage to use that [08:08] browser [08:08] eliezer: gksudo nautilus [08:08] Karen_m: I'm old skewl - I use gedit [08:08] rEFIt tells me I have overlapping partition tables (MBR and GPT). I have tried running gdisk to convert the partition table to pure GPT but upon booting from rEFIt boot disk I am told I still have overlapping MBR and GPT tables. what should my gdisk command look like? $sudo gdisk /dev/sda ? [08:09] not brouser [08:09] anyone has idea about dns which is not alowed in turkey ??? [08:09] eliezer, i need more information what you are trying to do [08:09] Blue11, old skewl is vi lololol [08:09] Blue11, in a terminal === zz_thyri0n is now known as thyri0n [08:09] blitzo: true that - I never learned vi, but I am a whiz in nano [08:10] eliezer sudo cp /path/to/dvd/images/image-name /usr/share/backgrounds [08:10] alt+f2; gksudo nautilus [08:10] Blue11: In http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=252: "The first line »Host« identifies the domain, and the machine in that domain I which to reach." I do not understand the role of »machine« there. I would like to automate my command '~$ ssh d00m.org'. So do I have to put a »machine« in my config file? [08:10] Blue11 i hate vi :/ hehe [08:10] all i want is to add some backgrounds to the a folder in fylesystem/usr/share/dvdstyler [08:10] Karen_m: gedit colorizes, once the file is saved and it knows what type of file it's working with [08:10] but need to be as root [08:10] Blue11, true old skewl is 'ed' the precursor to vi [08:10] i use nano, but i wanted something more like Notepad++, where when you're editing php or css, or html.. it automatically colors it for you [08:10] i figure because is in fylesystem where the folder is [08:10] bullgard4: pm okay? [08:10] Thopter: xset dpms force on/off seems to work: sleep 1 && xset dpms force off && sleep 10 && xset dpms force on === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [08:10] k wiesshund, i tested it. if i do any time lower than 120 i get the same error [08:10] eliezer: gksudo nautilus [08:10] Blue11: yes. [08:11] teknohan ive no idea what kinf of sites turkey blocks [08:11] wiesshund: however, interestingly, there seems to be a very long boot time difference between 90 and 120 for some reason [08:11] how do i start a pm? [08:11] i assume that the 120 seconds is just enough for it to begin to bootstrap or something [08:11] Wiesshund: youtube , google servisess ................................. alotttt [08:11] so if i use the sudo nautilus i can manage to do that very simple [08:11] Karen_m: there are several editors that do that, but they're probably not going to be as easy for you to start with as nano/notepad is. vim is one. [08:11] spine ok well thats got you working for now, atleast you can run the system while researching a reason [08:11] yeah [08:11] eliezer: do you even READ what we tell you¿¿ [08:11] (02:11:09) Thopter: eliezer: gksudo nautilus [08:12] i googled it and found an interesting article on it [08:12] get an IDE [08:12] !gksu > eliezer [08:12] i did [08:12] eliezer, please see my private message [08:12] apparently it's some sort of kernel bug [08:12] thune3: awesome, thanks ^_^ [08:12] teknohan can you load a local government or media site? like local turkish newspaper or tv station?

[08:12] eliezer as mentioned us gksudo nautilus instead [08:12] juro: df ? [08:12] bbl [08:13] eliezer, alt+f2 and then gksudo nautilus works for me [08:13] Wiesshund: nothing I think ubuntu has a dns is not allowed in turkey so I can`t connect and software center does not use any so I can download [08:13] hi there, I am having some problems with my internet connection. For some reason some webpages loads very fast and som very slow (or not at all) Any ideas what the problem can be? I have make sure ipv6 is off and I have the same problem in both firefox and chrome.

(no good ideas here actually) [09:07] AdvoWork, the don't upgrade or buy new videocard [09:07] thune3: I'd thought of that, but the files are definitely being deleted [09:07] AdvoWork, opensource driver is bullcrap [09:07] i know nothing bout ati radeon tbh lol, far as i rmember through history, nvidia / intel has far better support [09:08] AdvoWork, it's probably redeon you're using now [09:08] does anyone know about problems with installing php mysql with pdo on 10.04? === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [09:09] apache/mysql/php should work on any linux/windows os without problems [09:09] st__, its: RV370 [Radeon X300SE] [09:09] eliezer: ok, it should be "display" :) [09:09] [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] [09:09] ke1ha_: install 7 to vbox on ubuntu 10.04 that is using ext4 [09:10] I am having problem with a stretched desktop, when the secondary screen is 1280x1024 and the primary screen is 1024x768 on i855 chipset [09:10] there u go [09:10] ur the men [09:10] now i can make a launcher [09:10] thanks [09:10] hey, I did sudo apt-get update today and all the ppa.launchpad repos failed [09:10] so easey i cant remenber [09:10] u see [09:10] AdvoWork, use Windows if you able to get a hold of it [09:10] Hi, is there short form for grep -r usr * | grep -v 'Makefile' | grep -v 'Binary' [09:10] aint that something === spyrosebastos is now known as spiros [09:11] anyone else having problems with launchpad repos? [09:11] sunil: try using the alias command or something [09:11] alias should be fine [09:11] syivana, here's a way to have win-7 read Ext-4, but I dont think the OS can run from Ext-4: http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ [09:11] sunil try grep -v 'Makefile' -v 'Binary' -r usr * [09:12] mabey i'm retard but i preffer vista/7 for desktop os, and use linux(slackware) for servers, so makes my problems all so simple [09:12] redhotsps, I am not looking for an alias [09:12] hello, am I the only one where ubuntu fails in fetching launchpad ppa's? [09:12] I was hoping some regex could do the job better [09:13] Kruptein: looks like it, I've not experienced any problems as far as I know [09:13] lapion, it didn't work :( [09:13] redhotsps: I'm getting this output for apt-get update and aptitude update: http://dpaste.com/224146/ [09:14] Negeer = Ignore, Getroffen = Hit, Haal = Fetch (in case you don't understand dutch ;) ) [09:15] wow, getting full tilt running under wine was so easy, beautiful [09:16] am i able to roll back to 8.04 now that ive upgraded to 10.04? [09:17] ke1ha_: What part of vbox didnt you understand? [09:17] AdvoWork: no. [09:18] I have a bunch of files in a directory that are named "blahblah (1).mp3", ..., "blahblah (14).mp3" and so forth. I'd like to add a leading zero so that they get sorted properly. How would you go about doing it? [09:19] syivana, I guess not any of it, I only run about 25 of them or so. You ask if Win-7 could read Ext-4, and so it is possible. [09:19] is pidgin the best client for MSN and others? Yes I still use icq once in a while [09:19] Hello guys, is there a way to check my ALSA Driver's version? lol. :P [09:19] karen_m, depends on the definition of best [09:19] there is just the one which best suites 'your' needs [09:20] ok, which do you use? [09:20] karen_m, pidgin is bad but the rest is worse [09:20] which should I use? [09:20] karen_m i used "emesene" on ubuntu and loved it :D [09:21] What's happening to Sun now, anyway? [09:21] karen_m, the tradition on linux is to install all 50 different clients, tweak each for hours and then realize that none of them do what you do and write your own, which will also be bad [09:21] sorry sunil of course it wouldn't work.. my mistake. [09:21] Can they still support the open source stuff after go bought by Oracle? [09:22] know how you can winkey+left or winkey+right and get 2 applications side by side, is there a way to do that on ubuntu? [09:22] Also, anyone knows why i loose my 5.1 sound, back to stereo when i listen to a music ? This happens when i change song (manual or automatic) or when i stop the playback and start again. [09:24] NitzchONot can it be something with the player's configuration ? [09:24] karen_m: KDE does it,... i don't think GNOME does. [09:25] hi everyone [09:25] hi :D [09:25] fabio__, this happens with ALL the players. Totem, Rhythmbox, Exail. I dont think thats a players issue (Also, i use Lucid Lynx) [09:25] is KDE better than gnome? [09:26] I had so much problems with KDE that I _had_ to switch back to Gnome [09:26] it's preference.... I love KDE now that 4.4.4 came out [09:26] karen_m, they're both bad for different reasons, you just have to try them and see which you prefer [09:26] kde.... hmmm [09:26] karen_m, there's videos on youtube if you want an idea of how they work [09:26] why does ubuntu default to gnome? [09:27] karen_m: Stable 6 month release cycle. [09:27] ubuntu is amazing === Kwpolska is now known as radian [09:28] there are different 'flavors' of ubuntu.... xbuntu, ubuntu, kubuntu,..... etc. === radian is now known as Kwpolska === Suit_Of_Sables is now known as Colonel_Panic [09:29] if i switch to KDE, will it be easy to go back to Gnome? [09:29] karen_m: You can install both DE's and choose on login [09:29] how do i change the color of the text in my taskbar? [09:30] personally,... i love KDE because of the configurability [09:30] you can get lost in all the options. [09:30] it's fun to play [09:31] how can i activate telnet on ubuntu 10.4 [09:31] Desktop. Icons. Unusually large. How to make smaller? [09:31] what is DE ? [09:31] can you help me with sound-juicer?

What does black mean? [09:32] is it wrong to try and disable that password prompt for everything? after I login, I don't want to put the password in every few minutes [09:32] I'd like to be able to specify path names like artist-song.mp3 instead of artist - song.mp3 [09:32] please anyone give some pointers to activate telnet in ubuntu desktop [09:32] karen_m: you'll change it later [09:32] abhijeet: telneting to your ubuntu or from? === _ng is now known as _NG [09:32] to ubuntu [09:33] abhijeet: do not use telnet [09:33] ssh [09:33] for linuxes, there are ssh [09:33] is* [09:33] hello everyone [09:33] Kwpolska: i know it is not secure but it is within in my intranet.. [09:33] abhijeet: it's hard and nobody does that [09:33] use ssh [09:33] what's the problem [09:33] Kwpolska: ok.. then how can i activate ssh on ubuntu [09:33] you can use it with windoze [09:34] Kwpolska: i have installed the xinetd. [09:34] abhijeet: install openssh-server [09:34] please what can i use to join to .avi files together to be one complete movie [09:34] karen_m: I t is not advisable to try to disable the password prompt. It is a very important security concept. [09:34] abhijeet: if i recall correctly, sudo aptitude install openssh-server [09:34] sudo apt-get install ssh,... right?!? [09:34] llutz: [09:34] collabra: no [09:34] Kwpolska: then how do i configure it. [09:34] abhijeet: sudo aptitude install openssh-server [09:34] and configure by /etc/ssh/sshd-config [09:35] abhijeet: read "man sshd_config" [09:35] or something similar [09:35] wow,... i was way off [09:35] llutz: ok.. [09:35] collabra: do not help if you don't know how to [09:36] insults arn't nesessary [09:36] pradeep: avimerge, ffmpeg, transcode, mencoder... [09:36] abhijeet, is you installed the standard desktop, is should already be there, just type ssh -V and you should see somethign like OpenSSH 5.3 or there abouts return. If not then install openssh-server. [09:36] karen_m: no! [09:36] ke1ha_: ubuntu removed it in 10.04 [09:37] ke1ha_: yes it is showing.. but what about the server [09:37] abhijeet: install the openssh-server [09:37] pradeep: i found a nice how to on the net. two steps 1) cat file1.avi file2.avi ... fieln.avi > file_total.avi 2) mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy file_total.avi -o file_definitive.avi 3) removed uneeded files [09:37] Kwpolska: ok [09:37] collagra its not an insult its a suggestions since many newbies are learning [09:38] abhijeet, there server / service isn't there by default, but SSH is, if you need the service, then install as Kwpolska stated. [09:38] ke1ha_: ok [09:38] ke1ha_: he does. search the logs. [09:38] Still stuck with this wine problem and 10.04, Upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04.

I tried $sudo chown -R user:user /mount/point and running nautilus as root but I still can't RW [09:43] abhijeet: if you need to configure it, check out /etc/ssh/sshd_config [09:44] ok [09:44] i looked it up,... and i was also right,... ssh is a meta package that installs both the client and the server.... [09:45] i'll take those apologies...lol [09:45] :D [09:45] i am a windows vista user.. i have a 4gb usb drive i'm going to install ubuntu on.. fat/fat32/ntfs/exFat? and what cluster size?

I installed Clamav and Klamav the front end from Synaptic, my question is, if I compile the new version of ClamAV from a source tarball in my home directory, can I also install Klamav in my home directory so it only works with the home directory clamav, and not the clamav installed system wide? [12:18] '~$ ssh-copy-id name@server' added successfully a public key to the authorized keys in the remote machine.

The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [12:19] also if i "make install" a source tar ball, is there any tracking of where all of its packages were installed to if I want to remove it? [12:19] if I make install the newest version of ClamAV on my system and it turns out it doesn't work, do I have to track down every directory it created and delete them, or will simply reinstalling the older version via Synaptic Package Manager do the trick? [12:20] Taev use checkinstall [12:20] just uninstall the checkinstall package [12:20] erUSUL: thanks [12:21] Taev: "make uninstall" in the same folder will uninstall it, but anyways if it fails I doubt it'll go past "make" [12:21] does a program that you downloaded as a source tarball then ./configure, make, and make install run faster than a program you downloaded as a .deb and installed that way?

[13:29] if anyone could help me installing the kernel-headers for my currently used kernel, I'd be very happy… [13:30] hi guys [13:30] :-D [13:30] i am trying to download a file from a website and it keeps failing before it completes. what could be the issue? [13:30] On-The-Fly: Are you running Maverick? [13:31] crappy website [13:31] Pici: 10.04, so no [13:31] xoveruk: corrupt file on the server [13:31] ok, is there any reason a live CD will refuse to stayconnected to a display? i get so far then it seems to send all display data to /dev/null any sugestions? [13:31] slow server so it timesout [13:31] On-The-Fly: Well 2.6.35 is the version in 10.10. 10.04 is using 2.6.32 [13:31] it is from a music company, they create a zip file from the music that i bought. I get three attempts to download then i get blocked. [13:31] Is it definitely an issue at their end? [13:32] probly [13:32] Pici:I got this kernel-version through ppa:suraia/ppa [13:32] what the hell was that news, about canonical not contributing to codes and community and all things releated?????

[13:33] jaypur: i never herd of that and being i can get the ubuntu sourcecode right this second its also untrue [13:33] On-The-Fly: Then you'll need to contact that developer about issues with their PPA. [13:33] i'll go to off topic excuse me.... [13:33] Pici: Thought so, thanks anyway. I just hoped there was another way, because I cannot contact the developer without a launchpad-account [13:34] On-The-Fly: Create a launchpad account then. [13:34] Folks, I need help, I'm getting following error in my Ubuntu Live usb stick: EXT2-fs error (device loop1): ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced: [13:34] Pici: Didn't the Ubuntu One Account work on several sites beside the Ubuntu One page itself? And if yes, was Launchpad included? [13:35] On-The-Fly: It should. [13:35] tried running dosfsck -a -v /dev/sda1, but still I see those errors. Any help would be highly appreciated.

[13:43] Hello I can't get syslinux to work in my ubuntu lucid , when I check the USB drive after it's not bootible [13:43] kisuke: maybe it's not the drivers fault, maybe it's the way the video card is talking with the motherboard [13:43] Gnea: or what would you suggest?

[14:59] AnxiousNut, package name is indicator-applet-appmenu if you want to remove it [14:59] om26er, <.< then it would remove the whole indicator applet! As for the package, i didnt install that!

However, purging it solved the problem!! Thanks for telling me the name of the magical package :) [15:05] guthi i have done it with original grub, it's not real comp,licated [15:05] om26er that was for you [15:05] I managed to get through the graphical login after I deinstalled gdm [15:05] AnxiousNut, ;) [15:06] then I got into xterm, reinstalled gdm and opened gnome-manager [15:06] which is pretty basic though [15:06] what do I do from here?

[15:08] blitzo, thanks man [15:09] pici - what i am doing is running x remotely, not a full desktop, just indidual apps, and it would be nice if i get a menu [15:09] it says it's already active [15:09] which makes sense because I'm in gnome [15:09] blitzo: Then run gnome-panel and add that applet. [15:09] only I got there through xterm [15:09] pici i try that - thx! [15:09] and I don't see my normal panels and stuff [15:10] hotstew what happened that you doing this? [15:10] the graphical login screen repeated itself after each login [15:10] hello [15:10] so I got advice to restart gdm but that didn't help [15:10] hotstew you couldn't login, so how did you get an xterm? [15:11] so I deinstalled gdm, logged in through xterm, reinstalled gdm and started gnome-session [15:11] the graphical login works fine now [15:11] xterm is an x application and your couldn't use x so how did you start an xterm [15:11] but I still can't get into gnome directly [15:12] um x always worked [15:12] Is it possible to lock down what apps a user can start? Like a whitelist that says they can run bash, cat, less, vim, ssh, etc. [15:12] I just couldn't get farther than the login screen [15:12] #ubuntu-zh [15:12] when I filled the graphical login screen out, it brought me back to the login screen [15:12] hotstew i am NOT an expert but what you MIGHT try is backing up your entire home directory, completely uninstall gnome and reinstall from scratch [15:12] is this a correct desktop path $ourFileName = "/home/drup/Deskto/testFile.txt"; [15:12] ok [15:13] anything's better than reinstalling ubuntu [15:13] can you please tell me what the main package for gnome is? [15:13] hotstew, then when it works (if it works) you put your home dir back - and hopefully what's screwed up isn't in a config file there [15:13] i have currently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.32-24-generic(lucid),but still the initrd.img and vmlinuz are marked as old.How can i upgrade those?? [15:13] hotstew, i would do that from a console [15:14] yeah, but what is the main gnome package I have to reinstall? [15:14] is it gnome-session? [15:14] hotstew, and there is a lot of stuff to remove and put back - i don't know the names of the packages and you won't have synaptic there to tell you - it might be easier to reload ubuntu [15:14] hotstew: maybe you're looking for ubuntu-desktop [15:14] ok [15:15] back in a bit [15:15] hi, i'm looking for a repository in "rolling release" for mozilla's software (especially thunderbird) [15:15] h00k, hotstew that will be a meta package - you could try going into synaptic and marking it for re-install [15:15] does someone has something like this ? [15:15] jaes: The ubuntu mozillateam has a ppa. [15:16] ah he's gone too bad [15:17] Pici ah thanks, ppa, i forgot the name [15:17] blitzo: sorry.. had to take care of some other stuff.. applets for the gnome panel aren't regular binary programs.. you can't run them from Alt+F2 or a terminal [15:18] laudrup: there are several programs..

I don't think those errors are due to file system errors [15:25] Daniel____: I assume you've tried the regular things.. ie shutting down the system, letting it cool off and such.. running fsck from a live cd, making sure motherboard is ok, power supply and such [15:25] Slart: Really? Its been working fine for several months, and brand new [15:26] most hard drives have a spare section of blocks to replace bad blocks [15:26] Slart: I've done the stuff up to fsck from a live CD, it gave a "/bin/sh: fsck: not found" when I used the "Ubuntu Server 10.4 Install CD" [15:26] Daniel____: you could also try a clean install .. see if the errors appear again [15:27] so at first if you have bad blocks you won't even notice [15:27] but when it runs out of spare ones you will [15:27] Daniel____: you could also have a look at the s.m.a.r.t info .. see if it tells you anything [15:27] Slart: I don't know how to check the motherboard/power supply [15:28] Slart: I'll try the smart thing [15:28] Daniel____: if you run from a live cd there is a neat little utility to see the smart info.. system, administration, disk utility I think [15:28] blitzo, just a web page/app/whatever that will allow uploads to a specified directory. I can run it on https. It will alleviate the need for an scp or ftp client. [15:28] please, since 3 days im trying to configure intel mobile 965 on ubuntu 10.04 :S [15:28] someone know how to do it please? [15:28] Daniel____: from that utility you can run some extra tests.. those take anywhere from 5 minutes to several hours to run.. but it's a good way to test the drive [15:29] Slart: I don't really want to try to do a complete reinstall as the errors could just start up again - I don't know what's caused them [15:29] Hola... could someone help me? I've installed ubuntu server with gnome and gdm to log in, but when I run gdmsetup, these errors are displayed.... http://pastebin.com/SGDgqs6k [15:29] Slart: where should I get a live CD from?

[15:57] hello [15:57] i'm encountering problems installing TurkBuntu64 on my Dell Optiplex server [15:57] empathy should work for irc but there is something that i need to do to get irc working. I know if I add pidgin then empathy allows me to add IRC [15:58] nidx Wiesshund this is how you do it http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Displaying_Ubuntu_Linux_Applications_Remotely_%28X11_Forwarding%29 [15:58] BeastWars, turkbuntu? [15:58] yes [15:58] is there a separate channel for that? [15:58] paulw__, try xchat? [15:58] blitzo yea im just wondering why you cant startX, thats what mine does. [15:58] BeastWars, dl'd from where? [15:59] blitzo looking at the security setup [15:59] hi, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 on an hp mini 110, and the wifi doesnt work -- it's a known issue, however. to fix it, i need to install certain broadcom drivers (bcmwl-kernel-source), which wants me to put in my ubuntu cd in "drive /cdrom/". problem is that i installed from usb, and dont have a cd drive. ideas? [15:59] Wiesshund, really? maybe the user needs to be in a group or something [15:59] BeastWars: the TurkBuntu project repository [15:59] i only download distros from the official source [15:59] i have xchat now..but i would like something that ties to the menu bar and all that ubuntu goodness [16:00] i don't think my ISO is the issue [16:00] er [16:00] bazhang: ^ [16:00] rbedi99, you can get install them with synaptic i think [16:00] blitzo: it still prompts for the CD [16:00] i'm thinking maybe the 32bit build might work? [16:01] rbedi99: Strange.. I belive I did that 2 weeks ago myself [16:01] rbedi99, then you will have to find out how to enable the appropriate repository and here i'm getting in over my head [16:01] i tooted [16:01] Boromir: did you get prompted for any CD? [16:01] no [16:01] Boromir: huh... Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop? [16:01] yes hello [16:01] TurkBuntu64 help neede [16:01] d [16:01] rbedi99, it should not be asking for a cd, it wouldn't be on the cd [16:01] Only reason it wasn't preinstalled, is because it's a propriatry driver [16:01] yeah [16:01] lemme check version [16:02] blitzo: Boromir i think its one of its dependencies that wants a cd, not it itself [16:02] * Does anyone know the name of the official Ubuntu font (IE the one used in the Ubuntu Logo???) Thanks! [16:02] rbedi99, lemme see what google turns up - hang on [16:02] sam898889: Its not yet released to the public. [16:03] blitzo when your remoting is it as your admin user? [16:03] bazhang: it got it from http://www.igottheknot.com [16:03] BeastWars turkbuntu is not a ubuntu distro might have to ask them for support unless you mean ubuntu-tr? [16:03] pici are they planning on releasing it? do u know? 0.0 [16:03] Wiesshund, no [16:03] did someone talk to me? oO [16:03] how do i disable any font anti aliasing, sub pixel rendering and anything like that ? [16:03] sam898889: try synaptic ttf-ubuntu-title [16:03] blitzo just for a test, can you remote in as a user with admin privs and try to run a desktop?

[16:05] nidx: I just wondered if someone talked to me because there was this sign [16:05] BeastWars, stop pasting that here [16:05] rbedi99: It only says Broadcom STA Wireless Driver. Not sure how to get more detailed driver version [16:05] but it seems xchat does that with any new message [16:05] otherwise no thx :) [16:06] bazhang: why? [16:06] blitzo: hmm i could try that.. i think my hp mini uses the b43 driver. [16:06] hotstew: oic.. :P [16:06] Boromir: okay.. did you have to install any dependencies first? [16:06] No, it pretty much just worked on the fly once I figured out what I needed to install [16:06] bazhang: [16:06] 16:06 -!- bazhang is away: I'm busy [16:06] 16:06 -!- [pratchett.freenode.net] bazhang You must log in with services to message this user === The_Wanderer is now known as guthi [16:07] rbedi99: mine also use b43.. the system install it for me automatically (actually i do click once or two) [16:07] hi, i just installed lucid and grub 2 doesnt show my win xp in the boot menu, please help!

[16:08] Boromir: yeah thats the version im using\ [16:08] nidx: i did [16:08] :-/ [16:08] strange [16:08] rbedi99, that means a package manager is running [16:09] blitzo: but it isn't :) [16:09] rbedi99, hang on [16:09] blitzo: ohhh apt-get was still working, does that count? [16:09] guthi i'll be forst to ask the stupid question, but you didnt allow ubuntu to reformat and erase windows right? [16:09] Wiesshund, something started but it wasn't sending output down the ssh tunnel, dunno where it went [16:09] rbedi99, apt-get is a package manager [16:09] rbedi99: yes it is, i think :P [16:09] blitzo: haha okay, my bad :P [16:10] The package is called bcmwl-kernel-source, and there's also a package called bcmwl-modaliases installed [16:10] rbedi99, in previous versions there was no lock and they would barf all over everything :( [16:10] Can anybody help me remove compiz completely from terminal, i forgot what the package names were? [16:10] under Synaptics package manager, that is [16:11] does ubuntu have the option for scripted setup.. something like RH's kick start? [16:11] markie-, go into synaptic and remove it that way - do a quick serach on compiz and it will list all pkgs names containing that string, then mark for "complete removal" [16:11] blitzo: okay its trying to install now. hanging at the end, but perhaps its just slow [16:11] Wiesshund, no, i can mount the windows drive and i see the files and can access it. so the partition is still there (i understand the need to ask that question, so no probs ;) ) [16:11] markie , look in the package manager for the them, and use it to "completely remove" the packages [16:11] guthi: run "update-grub" from terminal? [16:12] csgeek: There are a number of methods that Ubuntu can be installed, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for details. [16:12] blitzo: Yea i would of done that, but the thing is i have no access to it, only the terminal i have access to, no X [16:12] guthi if you run "sudo update-grub" in the terminal, see if it suddenly finds windows [16:12] rbedi99, did that, several times, os-prober doesnt detect the os (win xp) installed [16:12] markie-, what is your situation? [16:12] Wiesshund, , did that, several times, os-prober doesnt detect the os (win xp) installed [16:12] Hello DoraBot! Welcome to #ubuntu. [16:12] Hello moayad__! Welcome to #ubuntu.

Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [16:13] blitzo: after installing the drivers for compiz, it just boots me into terminal on start up. It works sometimes, but most times it doesn't [16:13] Wiesshund, do u want to see the boot info results? [16:14] guthi sure you can /msg them to me so not to spam the channel [16:14] markie-, btw , why are you remving compiz , do you think it's responsible for no X ? because your video driver may be responsible [16:14] hello world 8) [16:15] i need the kade core base or whatever it is called to be able to sun some kde apps, i don't want to install kubuntu-desktop, cause i don't need things like koffice and related, just the basics, what can i do? [16:15] BluesKaj: Yea i figured if removed compiz it might work, also i have burn effect using fusion plugins, and forgot the shortcut to turn it off, so i can't click anything, because fire shows up [16:15] markie-: yeah, compiz won't trash your X, if i'm not mistaken, if compiz fails, it just falls back to the gnome defaults [16:16] How do i get a list of all harddrives and their partitions on a system? Mounted and not-mounted ones [16:16] guthi, you need to manually edit /boot/grup/grub.cfg and add an entry for the windows partition - i do not know the params [16:16] fdisk -l [16:16] rdw200169, exactly ...I think it's a graphics card problem [16:17] markie-: if you can, is it possible to run "gtk-window-decorator --replace" from within an X session? [16:17] mgj - gparted will give you that list, or fisk if you're handy with a command line [16:17] Hello [16:17] cheers [16:17] rdw200169,` he has no X available [16:17] Can anyone tell me the best compression type (I.e .zip, .bz2 etc) to use for getting the smallest file? [16:17] mgj that's fdisk [16:17] Wiesshund, http://www.textdump.com/v/?k=NzI1OQ== [16:18] domjohnson, it depends on the content - try the file with all of them and compare file sizes [16:18] hello all! [16:18] BluesKaj: markie- so wait, let me get this straight, even gdm (the graphical login) won't work? if gdm works, X is working. thus, in order to bypass compiz, you just run a different gdm session [16:18] blitzo, yup, tried doing that but it just says "no such partition" when i try to boot from it or just puts a blinkor in the top left corner and just sits there [16:18] folks i'm out of here, hope i helped anyone towayd [16:18] hi abhijeet can you help me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1542391 === Kasjopaja12 is now known as Kasjopaja [16:19] guthi i have to run off to the dentist, good luck [16:19] No, i can't seem to do that [16:19] can someone say me, which dock is the best?

[16:49] but why do you run it in a virtual machine, why not native [16:49] craigbass1976: I can't verify without waiting a day :) I'm just wondering if I did it right before then [16:49] I make the videos inside of Pinnacle Studio [16:49] camdent, what's the ip of the router? should be 192.168.1.1 or 0.1, or sometimes 2.1 === _NG is now known as _ng [16:49] Ramone, have it run in five minutes. [16:49] Windblows likes to crash a lot and I am tired of re loading it eveery 3 or 4 months [16:50] Craigbass, how do I figure that out? Sorry...just started using Ubuntu a few days ago. Haven't had time to learn much yet. [16:50] I seem to have gotten access to the Ubuntu font beta, which is apparently only for Members. [16:50] lynne, I feel for you. It was during windows 98 that I finally quit [16:50] How do I claim the other benefits? [16:50] camdent, type ifconfig in a terminal [16:50] thanks craigbass [16:50] craigbass1976: running it manually works... I've got it in /etc/cron.daily too... is that it for daily? [16:50] maxh: the cloak you can ask in #ubuntu-irc the rest i dunno [16:50] after removing kde i followed istruction here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome then i started to get pgadmin3 and coldeltie relocation error. all details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1542391 [16:50] that's video editing stuff right ? [16:50] maxh: 'other benefits'? [16:51] is there something like aerosnap for GNOME? also, what about Oxygen theme (from KDE) lookalikes? [16:51] do yourself a favour and do it natively [16:51] maxh: join #ubuntu-irc please [16:51] maybe I should see the people at Virtual Box and ask them questions [16:51] you want all the memory and cpu speed you can get [16:51] Ramone, I haven't set up cron jobs in a dog's age. You could run an at job; if that works, cron should be fine. Did you google around for proper line format in cron? [16:51] A HA!!! like command prompt! Can i just throw that ip into firefox and go from there? [16:52] craigbass1976: cron.daily is what google told me to use... no syntax necessary [16:52] camdent, yes, but thew router's last number is probably 1 [16:52] sure do when running heavy Graphics in movies [16:52] anyone else used /etc/cron.daily ? [16:53] craigbass. So it should be 192.168.1.101? [16:53] hi anyone has used the usb mopdem for BSNL india on ubuntu? [16:53] Well I guess I will go see the people at Virtual Box [16:53] bye people [16:54] Ramone: sure. [16:54] duiu: aparrantly this is a problem with cups/samba startup ordering. There are a couple workarounds buried in the discussion: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/upstart/+bug/494141 [16:54] hi there does any one have teamviwer and know how to do ndis wrapper as the gui version of wireless is not working properly keep disconnecting me i wondered if somone would mind setting it up for me [16:54] camdent, no, the router should be 192.168.1.1 And you might not be able to access it wirelessly [16:54] camdent, some routers allow you to shut off wireless access to the admin [16:54] I've got a new linksys wireless card in my desktop; doesn't show up in the network connections, but I can see my wireless network in wifi-radar [16:54] sipior: just drop the script in, and I''m good? [16:55] the connection between my desktop (ubuntu) and the router is ethernet, so that's no problem. It worked, but now it wants a password, but I've never set one up, so I have no idea what it is. [16:56] camdent, it might have reset to defaults [16:56] camdent, it will be wriiten ont he label of your router [16:56] Ramone: if you want to test it, just run "/bin/run-parts" on the directory manually. (have a look at the man page as well) [16:56] admin/admin or summink [16:56] should be written on the router or in the instructions that came with it [16:56] its 192.168.1.1 on any browser and user pass is admin/admin [16:57] hi abhijeet [16:57] camdent, if you've never set it, there might not be one. try admin as user and admin as pass [16:57] sipior: ha thanks... so it's not in the list of stuff that would run... am I missing something? [16:57] or 192.168.0.1 [16:57] !ot [16:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:57] camdent, what's the model number of the router? [16:58] YIpee! Perfect! Exactly what I needed. Now, to find an ubuntu manual so I can figure this stuff out on my own next time... :) [16:58] !manual [16:58] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [16:58] Ramone: if you look at /etc/crontab, you'll see what's really going on (i.e., cron.daily is just an argument to run-parts, which is invoked once a day, in this case) [16:58] can anyone help me configure the usb router config? for DSL ? [16:58] Thanks everyone. [16:59] I think I have the RPM and source of the driver I need [16:59] sipior: /etc/crontab just mentions /etc/cron.daily ... it doesn't have anything that explicitly states what in it should run [17:00] Ramone: that's what run-parts is for. look at the man page. [17:00] and yet /bin/run-parts --test /etc/cron.daily shows everything except my script [17:00] hi girls [17:00] Ramone: is it executable? [17:00] yeah [17:00] already ran it locally [17:00] I got a odd problem [17:01] Ramone: whats the filename of your script, it shouldn't have an extension iirrc [17:01] Ramone: what does --list show? [17:01] hey guys im using sshfs to mount a remote directory on my local server. Is there a way to make this mount a constant connection because sometimes it disconnnects and then i have to manually remout it [17:01] hi guys. i hope there are some people who can help with my little pureftpd problem. im using pure-ftpd with mysql support, so all users come from a mysql database (virtualusers) ... in pureftpd.conf i set a MYSQLDefaultUID/GID (pure,ftp) for all virtual users... root is _not_ able to login ... if i connect to ftp with a virtualuser there a three processes ... first process: pure-ftpd (SERVER) user root (my standalone pure ftpd server) ... second === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [17:01] yeah blah.sh ... lemme rename and retry...1 secx [17:01] errrrrrr sec [17:01] cant get my internet working.. I'm using a wireless, and it connect just fine, but firefox, update, ect.. doesnt work [17:02] Ramone: look at the second paragraph of the man page, beginning with "If neither the..." [17:02] sipior: that's got it! thanks man [17:02] thune3: thanks, but could you clarify if I'm editing /etc/init/smbd.conf should this line have parentheses or not? Line is as follows: start on (local-filesystems and stopped rc) [17:02] anyone else have problem using wireless [17:02] Ramone: the "." dot was the problem :) [17:02] cannonball, can you ping things on the net ? [17:02] cannonball, like ping www.yahoo.com or such [17:03] no [17:03] yep :\ [17:03] llutz: it was indeed. well-spotted :-) [17:03] thanks [17:03] how can I pipe some output into the clipboard? [17:03] cannonball, can you ping inet IPs ? [17:03] ls [17:03] cannonball, like 203.2.75.12 [17:03] didnt try that.. give me a few things to try and I'll go do that [17:03] boscop: add >> somefile.txt at the end of the command, it'll send the output into a text file [17:03] kk [17:04] just to see if your DNS setting works [17:04] duiu, I know -.- [17:04] duiu, but I want it to pipe into the clipboard [17:04] is that possible? [17:04] boscop: no idea [17:04] ok lets say my dns isnt working [17:05] you need to put a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf [17:05] boscop: why do you want the output to go to the clipboard? [17:05] just wanted to know whether it's possible at all. I don't need it to survive [17:05] after removing kde i followed istruction here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome then i started to get pgadmin3 and coldeltie relocation error. all details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1542391 [17:05] did the IP ping work ? [17:06] boscop: ah well there is the package pastebinit that will send the output to pastebin [17:06] i'll have to switch over to ubuntu.. [17:06] boscop: you have to use something called xclip, and it seems kind of rough [17:06] kk [17:06] what is a nameserver [17:06] if IP ping works your need to put nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf [17:06] I've got a new linksys wireless card in my desktop; doesn't show up in the network connections, but I can see my wireless network in wifi-radar. If I didn't see my network in wifi-radar, I think I should go the ndiswrapper route, but that seems unnecessary. Anyone? [17:07] cannonball: it is a server that determines what ip address goes to what website [17:07] it's a computer at your ISP that translates URLs into IPs [17:07] like www.yahoo.com into numbers [17:07] cannonball: say for example you type in google.com., it figures out the IP [17:07] ahhh.. [17:07] ok brb [17:08] so if you can ping IPs but not URLs your nameserver setting is not working [17:08] gotcha [17:08] lemme check [17:09] Does anyone have the .so file for 64bit flash? forgot to backup... [17:10] I heard that Chrome send back data for advertisement to Google, is it the same with Chromium? [17:10] duiu: looks like it should have parens: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50822127/smb.conf.diff [17:10] MaT-dg: reinstall flash [17:10] yes, chrome is the same as chrome [17:11] th0r: no, I need the 64 bit version but adobe has pulled it from their site. Installing flash via apt-get installs 32bits [17:11] thune3: thanks [17:12] why doesn't ubuntu have a 64bit repo? or does it :s [17:12] MaT-dg: if you installed it from a deb the first time, the deb should still be on your computer. [17:12] hmm it's weird that there's no word about Google when you click on About in Chromium [17:13] th0r: I have a fresh install [17:13] KrisDouglas: It does. [17:13] KrisDouglas: if your distro is 64bit installation you're automatically using 64bit versions of everything === ivar is now known as Guest73893 [17:15] !64 | KrisDouglas [17:15] KrisDouglas: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [17:15] hello all ! [17:15] hello [17:15] can someone tell how can i get rid of nouveau forever ? [17:15] #ubuntu-in [17:16] i blacklisted it [17:16] but still it will load at every startup [17:16] Question: I'm trying to do something somewhat complex with Ubuntu networking, but it isn't working. I have 4 nics in my server, 0 and 1 are set to link aggregation together, 2 and 3 are set to link aggregation together. I want to have these link aggregation interfaces bond0 and bond1 to be bridged. However, it isn't working at all - any ideas if this is actually possible? [17:16] wdwded [17:17] any suggestion ? [17:18] hi guys, i was wondering if anyone can help, i'm using dual monitors (have been for a few years now) but my last upgrade to lucid seems to have broken my ability to have a single wallpaper display over both monitors, any ideas? [17:18] hello all [17:19] Hi, do you know if there's a way to control ubuntu's windows via C programming? [17:19] i just got alert from adobe to install some update and now it is asking for html library location. any help? [17:19] Question: Anybody tell me how to get my sound volume icon back? Not sure what I did but it's gone and I can't see it in the avaiable applets [17:19] kpettit: add the indicator applet back to your panel (in 10.04) [17:19] kpettit: it is in Indicator Applet [17:20] ok thanks. checking... [17:20] Hey everyone here is a question: I have one of those "boot ubuntu from usb" things, but my dad's laptop can't boot from USB. Is there a CD I can boot from that will let me run Ubuntu from USB? [17:20] adriancarrio, what you actualy want to do? do you mean programming linux gui? [17:20] hi all, on ubuntu server, meaning no windowing system, anyone have any idea how i can capture all of the i/o for an interactive Python session? [17:20] trism, IdleOne I added it and I see the power off icon but no sound icon for volumn [17:21] kpettit: power off is in indicator applet session, volume is just in indicator applet [17:21] kpettit: their names are confusing [17:21] ah ok. checking.. [17:22] there we go. Thanks [17:22] ok back.. whom was helping me [17:23] i want to set focus on certain ubuntu's windows via programming [17:23] anywho.. I did the pings for ya.. [17:24] hi [17:24] I don't know whether this is considered severe enough to fix it, but it caused me days of headache and misunderstandings (also it took very long to find some hacker who was eventually skilled enough to find out what went wrong): [17:25] ok I can ping and whois 203.2.75.3, but I can not ping yahoo.com, ect.. [17:25] if I attempt to load a fedora .so file on ubuntu (compiled on fedora 13) WITHOUT -fno-stack-protector (which means it requires a newer glibc than ubuntu 8.04 lts has) [17:25] hello boyz,girls and nerds I've my laptop with no sound sound chip is ICH9 I've tryed every google link, anybody can help me try some solution ? [17:25] then ubuntu 8.04 lts spits out something about "ELF file OS ABI invalid" [17:25] (when attempting to dlopen() it) [17:25] that person who finally found out the cause of this told me this error message was most likely wrong and should be improved === lit3l is now known as litel [17:26] so it seems my nameserver isnt worki9ng what do I do [17:26] also most people I told about it were just helpless and not saying anything more useful than "meh you cannot run fedora-compiled things on ubuntu" [17:26] * abhijit has an observation that the channel is less helpfull these days................ [17:26] (which isn't true if you make sure you don't use newer glibc features) [17:26] should I file a bug report about this? is it a known issue? is it going to be changed anyway? [17:26] or is this intended and I just ran into the wrong people of which noone was able to read that error properly [17:27] adriancarrio: the command is wmctrl -a, look there [17:27] !pm | adriancarrio [17:27] adriancarrio: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [17:27] so nobody have a soundcard with no sound . like me? [17:27] hey all, i don't know what i did, been using fluxbox for a while, running gnome now but it puts an icon on my desktop for everything in my home folder. [17:27] sorry [17:27] !nouveau [17:27] nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default in 10.04. Currently 3D rendering is unsupported. More information can be found in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ - See also !nvidia [17:28] MrJones: doesn't sounds like an ubuntu-specific problem. have you tried the reverse, linking to an ubuntu-supplied library under fedora? [17:28] sipior: it IS a glibc problem, since that .so was NOT compiled with -fno-stack-protector and therefore relies on some newer one (you can check that in the symbols) and after adding -fno-stack-protector it works just fine [17:29] so nobody knows how to help.. ugh.. where is taht guy from a sec ago [17:29] sipior: therefore I'd be pretty surprised if you wanted to tell me it's not simply a glibc versioning issue [17:29] can anyone helPP [17:29] http://pastebin.com/zFyav6jd [17:29] ? [17:29] the error message rather reflects some kernel ABI thing though === Neon is now known as Guest71958 [17:29] and that's what's rather confusing [17:29] cannonball, paste your /etc/resolv.conf === Kasjopaja12 is now known as Kasjopaja [17:29] cannonball: what does /etc/resolv.conf looks like ? [17:29] MrJones: odd that you didn't answer my question. i take it the answer is "no"? [17:29] sipior: wait a second, I'll reread it [17:30] it has nameserver set to my dns and 2nd dns..66.184.128.38 [17:30] how can i remove the "nouveau" driver assuming that the blacklist won't work ? [17:30] sipior: I tried running ubuntu applications on fedora which cannot load any of the fedora libs with the same error (most likely due to glibc problems again). I did not try to load an ubuntu .so under fedora though, no [17:30] ? [17:30] sipior: it would be more fun to use suse to try to link an ubuntu file within fedora. With a little effort we could include all the major distros in one fell swoop [17:30] Howdy! How do i get rid of the gnome panel in the default ubuntu install? It's greyed out.... [17:30] cannonball: and can you ping that nameserver? [17:30] no [17:30] th0r: indeed :-) [17:31] cannonball, so this nameserver sucks [17:31] lol, but it works fine in windows [17:31] try with first nameserver as 4.2.2.2 [17:32] ok [17:32] leave 2nd alone? [17:32] Who wants to join a 4man game? Its really fun. http://team.forsvarsmakten.se/english/#/private/dp3wu7ywmK [17:32] yessirofficer: don't paste that here [17:32] !ot | yessirofficer [17:32] yessirofficer: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:32] cannonball, pleas paste me your resolv.conf [17:33] then set as fist nameserver 4.2.2.2 [17:33] I cant paste it, i;'m in windows... [17:33] MrJones: also, have you tried running this on a modern ubuntu? [17:33] wait [17:33] lol [17:33] lol [17:33] Hello, what is the official acceptable policy about promoting and providing other support chat services for ubuntu? I joined a jabber.org channel that was created by an individual. Would it be appropriate to spread word about it and have it documented somewhere in community wiki? [17:34] picard1421, do u have all deps/libs installed for installing ovencv? [17:34] i thnk? [17:35] so, looking for the deps for opencv [17:35] sipior: not yet. I guess if the glibc it uses is new enough it won't be a problem. I'm just wondering whether that "ELF OS ABI invalid" error shouldn't be changed to something more verbose [17:35] although I have no idea if that's possible [17:35] I think picard1421 you have lost something [17:36] after removing kde i followed istruction here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome then i started to get pgadmin3 and coldeltie relocation error. all details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1542391 [17:36] leagris, try in #ubuntu-docs [17:37] thanks abhijit will ask there [17:37] leagris, try in #ubuntu-doc <- [17:37] MrJones: i'm not sure it's worth the trouble, frankly, but you could certainly take it up with the glibc folks. [17:38] MrJones: the problem, of course, is that to a glibc hacker, that probably is a pretty verbose message :-) [17:39] Howdy! How do i get rid of the gnome panel in the default ubuntu install? It's greyed out.... [17:39] sipior: yea, but I ran into pretty unfriendly people [17:40] MrJones: par for the course, i'm afraid. [17:40] sipior: when I tried to get help in fedora I nearly got kickbanned because it was "not a fedora-related" [17:40] when I asked here, I got no help either since I compiled on fedora [17:40] on linuxquestions.org, nobody had even a slight idea what that means [17:40] atterer.net is down, any idea? [17:40] in the end I was lucky enough to eventually meet a person that had enough readelf skills to examine the difference and track down what the actual difference of the ubuntu-compiled and fedora-compiled .so file was [17:40] samba_ what do you mean? [17:40] and why the latter wouldn't work [17:40] >.> [17:40] samba_i thought i had everything installed?

[17:53] In version tab there are the lucid version for this pkg [17:53] passwd keeps rejecting my new passwords.. is there a replacement passwd that I can tell to just change my password whether it thinks it's a bad password or not? [17:53] if u are using lucid there are only lucid pkg proposed [17:53] samba_: right, and my repo has the name of the server in it [17:53] calamari, the passwd file holds the users. /etc/shadow actually has the passwords but they're encrypted. [17:53] yes [17:54] samba_: i want to be able to change that name .. is that possible? [17:54] calamari, If you could change passwords without knowing the old ones that would be a security flaw.

[18:03] TheEskimo, thanks, sudo worked [18:04] calamari: Glad to hear it === iFDH_ is now known as iFDH [18:05] how do i run "create a wireless network" with sudo as it will not let me create a ah-hoc network from GUI [18:05] samba_ I want to remove gnome-panels but keep alt+f2 functionality. The gnome panel that comes with the menus (applications, system, etc.) cannot be deleted--the option is greyed out. Note I'm not trying to get rid of gnome-panels entirely, just that specific panel [18:06] Tec0 you use gksudo if your trying to root run a desktop app [18:06] samba_ the best I can do is shrink it, hide it in the top corner [18:06] i heard that there is a issue with the NetworkManager dialog but i dont know how to get around it [18:06] samba_ but then I have this ugly little arrow sticking out. I'd really just like to be rid of entirely :-) [18:06] econdudeawesome - you can use gconf-editor to hide it and then set the unhide time to something uber high so you don't unhide it when you mouse near it [18:07] econdudeawesome, so u need to keep gnome, but without the gnome-panel? [18:07] econdudeawesome autohide === travis is now known as Guest49244 [18:07] I've been pouring over forum posts for a while, but haven't found a good solution yet: Does anyone have any patches/fixes for 10.04's Hibernate/suspend problem? This seems to be a pretty prevelent bug, so I'm hoping someone has ID'd the cause. [18:07] samba_ preferably. Wiesshund doesn't work very well. Kryptyk thats a good idea. How many milliseconds do you reckon? 40000? [18:08] You can disable the gnome panel by going to Sessions-->Current Session and remove gnome panel from the list of running applications. [18:08] Just in case you guys don't know, Lucid has a problem where suspend won't resume, and requires a manual restart. [18:08] Wiesshund, thanks! what is the application name of "create a wireless network" [18:08] Then go to Session Options and click on the Remember button.. [18:08] econdudeawesome, logicaly you shoud have a work with gconftool-2 [18:08] samba_ that causes me to lose alt+f2 functionality === Kasjopaja12 is now known as Kasjopaja [18:08] imphasing not sure cause luckily mine works [18:08] Besogon ?? haven't heard of othat one, only gconf-editor [18:08] econdudeawesome - that would probably work. Trial and error may be needed to find a good timing. If you ever need the panel back, just adjust the time so you can unhide it normally [18:09] Wiesshund: It seems to happen most on laptops, from what I've seen. [18:09] Wiesshund, are u running 10.4 ? and your able to create ad-hoc networks ? [18:09] wew [18:09] i think i found a bug [18:09] imphasing, ah. only laptop i have boots via boot prom [18:09] Ah, ok [18:09] econdudeawesome, this feature is in gnome-panel so u have to choose : do u want gnome panel or not ? [18:09] anyway its ok [18:09] It seems like earlier kernel versions didn't have this bug, as well. [18:09] Tec0 i dont use wireless so i cant check [18:09] econdudeawesome, that is a utility wich works with gnome-reestr from command line [18:10] does anyone knows how to connect my ubuntu to my windows on \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [18:10] is anyone having a issue creating a ad-hoc network under 10.4 ? [18:10] ? [18:10] although you can start at boot the fbrun [18:10] on windows we just can press \\ipaddress [18:10] is like gnome-run but is perfect for fluxbox [18:10] adamramadhan: Places>connect to Server [18:10] econdudeawesome i just removed gnome menu from panel [18:10] adamramadhan, how do you want to connect to your box ? over smb ? [18:10] adamramadhan: or Places>Network>Windows Network [18:10] windows sare ? [18:11] samba_ fair enough. I want gnome-panel. I don't want that specific panel. If there isn't a direct way I'll try kryptyk's workaround. Any idea where to find the timing for gnome-panel in gconf-editor? [18:11] Hello All: on my system the process "bootchart" is starting in an infinite loop (ps aux | grep bootchart shows a new PID every time). Is this normal? Last reboot it was at 100% cpu, right now it is not, but I wonder why it is starting in a loop. [18:11] no, ive just shared my windows folder with user guest [18:11] Hi! I've got a problem with wifi. Driver is ath5k, and network manager is wicd. Sometimes I can't discover WiFi network, but this classroom is definetely covered with the signal. [18:11] Any ideas how to solve this? [18:11] Wiesshund how do you do that [18:11] guys, i'm having some trouble with Ubuntu One. It seems to be automatically syncing my Music folder. I've tried right-clicking and choosing Stop syncing with Ubuntu One but when i browse my cloud storage on the website the Music folder is still there, and when i right click the Music Folder on my PC again, the stop syncing option is greyed out :| [18:11] econdudeawesome: apps>panel>toplevels [18:11] econdudeawesome, And it's very meaningful from which user you work with it. It's very complicated. But it's definitly the way in wich you have to inquire [18:11] i have a problem with Arora(webkit), Konqueror(using webkit), and rekonq(webkit). All of these browsers crash when loading sites. I installed the qtwebkit, and this is what happened. anything that uses webkit crashes, except epiphany(i think it uses webkit). Is there a specific reason it does this? for example, they all crash when loading acid3 test, except konqueror when using KHTML. [18:12] econdudeawesome i right clicked the ubuntu logo to left of it and picked remove from panel [18:12] Atlantic777: never had problems with gnome-network-manager [18:12] hi [18:12] econdudeawesome, /apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel [18:12] econdudawesome: samba's location may work as well.

Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [18:15] kryptyk I tried that. For whatever reason it's still being drawn, but considered hidden [18:15] hey guys [18:15] really weird [18:15] anyone have webkit browsers? [18:15] hi, where is the java cache in ubuntu 10.04? and where is it, when i run the java programm as root? [18:15] tx ubottu [18:15] econdudeawesome: you have to adjust the hidden size [18:15] you shouldnt run programs as root, ive heard [18:15] got a *very* annoying problem: I updated my ubuntu system (10.04) today, and now my mouse wheel doesn't work anymore for scrolling... [18:16] yet clicking the mousewheel does work [18:16] where is that? [18:16] econdudeawesome: the value (in the same location) is auto_hide_size. Set this to 0 or -1 and you should not see it anymore when it is hidden. [18:16] I noticed some changes with hw detection in 10.04, but this is quite sucking [18:16] hi [18:16] Does anyone have the .so file for 64bit flash? [18:16] so no one has had problems with webkit? [18:17] i have a laptop with an ide drive. can i clone the drive to a sata drive and just put that drive in a new laptop and then it'll work? [18:17] hello [18:17] anyone ? [18:17] hellllloooo [18:17] i still cant connect my windows shared [18:17] Hey Guys,I#m new to irc.Can anyone tell why its not possible to run windows games over 1 extra xserver with wine??standard games which are installed are working! [18:17] i have not use any password nor workgroups [18:17] cheater99: Only if the new laptop has the exact same hardware. You'll probably see some issues, so I would just do a clean install. [18:17] cant we just enter //ipadress or something [18:18] i don't want to do a clean install [18:18] why would it have to have the exact same hardware? [18:18] wouldn't it be just like if i had upgraded my hardware? [18:18] so, nobody came in with a simple PS2 mouse wheel problem after updating? [18:18] new gfx card etc [18:18] cheater99: That would break stuff too, possibly [18:18] hello? [18:18] kryptyk still not going away.... [18:18] we'll see on a reboot [18:19] windows share ? is that corrent ?> [18:19] does anyone have webkit problems????? [18:19] imphasing: are you saying it is not possible to upgrade hardware in ubuntu? [18:19] it keep on say " HOMEGROUP " thing [18:19] cheater99: Do what you want, but cloning a different system to a new system is just asking for problems. You're not deploying to identical servers here, I'm assuming. [18:19] cheater99: You just would have to install all the new drivers and such [18:19] It would just be easier to do a clean install, since there could be LOTS of hidden issues. [18:19] no, my laptop is not a server [18:20] econdudeawesome: is it still drawing the whole panel? or just a piece of it when it is hidden? [18:20] adamramadhan: \\ipadress not //ipadress [18:20] installing new drivers doesn't sound so bad! [18:20] yes i mean that iceroot: [18:20] how can i connect to windows from this ubuntu [18:20] any good way? [18:20] Like I said, do what you want. It's probably going to be a big hassle anyway though, and you'll end up doing a clean install :P [18:20] why doesn't the ubuntu vpn manager accept .p12 files for openvpn ? [18:20] Guest49244: is your problem only with acid3 test? if so, that's more of a development issue than a practical problem. [18:21] imphasing: what sort of hidden issues are you talking about? [18:21] thune3, no its not only acid3, that was only an example, i think it crashes on javascript-heavy sites [18:21] adamramadhan: normally \\ipadress in nautlis should work, its using the smbclient at background [18:21] cheater99: Probably kernel panic, since the modules that are being loaded aren't going to work with the different system.

[18:22] ive had it working before in ubuntu, but i uninstalled and installed Xubuntu, then installed kde, then installed qtwebkit, then i have these problems [18:22] iceroot: nope it doent work. it says not found [18:22] imphasing, since when is this windows where there are drivers n shit [18:22] Look, do what you guys want. I'm just trying to make it easier for you.

[18:22] adamramadhan: and the ip is correct and windows has shares? [18:22] JodaZ: ... [18:22] letas, something like that might already exist, I don't know... however you should be able to implement that using FUSE [18:23] JodaZ: Every bit of hardware needs a driver to work, dude. [18:23] cheater99, like ssh priv keys [18:23] JodaZ: ok [18:23] imphasing, yes, and all is detected on boot [18:23] JodaZ: that doesn't sound as back [18:23] *bad [18:23] JodaZ: Whatever dude. Have fun misleading people. [18:23] thune3, i installed it from synaptics, would a complete reinstall of system fix it? [18:23] hey chaps. can any one recommend a webacm to use on a laptop? [18:23] JodaZ: btw, do you know if i would have to install a different kernel if upgrading from pentium 3 to core i7? [18:23] So, i'm a bit of an old school debian person, not familiar with alot of the developments of the last 6-8 years ... are there any pages describing why use aptitude over apt-get ? [18:24] thanks calamari - I will keep looking i think I tried using FUSE but didn't get it to work properly maybe an ID10T error :( [18:24] by the way - i _have_ seen the hardware compatability list ;-) [18:24] cheater99, unlikely, the default kernel will propably be a i368 [18:24] JodaZ: i don't know if ubuntu has a special kernel for different processors or if it just selects the right thing [18:24] ok [18:24] letas, doubtful.. FUSE is tricky to get right [18:24] cheater99, check with uname -a [18:24] hi i want to join to do the development in c++ networking. can any one help . . where to head for first project [18:24] it certainly is now [18:24] but i don't know about the i7 [18:24] since it's SMP [18:25] hey you guys i install compiz-extras or something like that...anyways how do i turn them on? my setting manager shows nothign new when i look for the extra animations [18:25] still cant find a way to connect my shared folder ( windows ) on an ip ( witout no password etc ) [18:25] kryptyk worked fine. I set the positions and size all over the place off the screen [18:25] anyone ? [18:25] makes me wonder, is it possible to upgrade ubuntu from 32 to 64 bit? [18:25] no [18:25] letas, man update-alternatives ? [18:25] econdudeawesome: places/ connect to server [18:25] cheater99, i suggest backing up your home folder and installing fresh [18:25] kryptyk there doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of the panel otherwise without disabling gnome-panel, which I did not want to do [18:25] letas, I know there are existing fuse implementations of fat32, ext2, etc.. perhaps you can use one of those and pass the option to disallow multiple tasks [18:25] thune3, they also crash when clicking on videos in youtube. [18:25] jayeola whats that? [18:26] letas, but I don't sure [18:26] cheater99, i mean thats what the idea is all about, usually copying whole sys over isn't a good idea [18:26] JodaZ: Like I was saying. [18:26] that's from teh gnome menu. use that to connect to a doze/samba share? [18:26] imphasing, for the absofloutely wrong reasons tho [18:26] hi i want to join development in c++ networking. can any one help . . where to head for first project [18:26] Besogon let me look for it - I never thought of it [18:26] econdudeawesome: that has been my experience.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:47] evenin' all [18:47] is it posible that lucid lynx is just not compatible with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650? === LjL is now known as Guest84436 [18:47] other way round [18:47] after an upgrade to 10.04 from 9.10 my system freezes from time to time -- i've noticed this happens whenever man-db or mandb run [18:47] adamramadhan, you should definetly install 'system-config-samba' [18:47] ok [18:47] i did that :) [18:48] is samba easy ? [18:48] Manu24531: Are you using a usb boot or a cd? [18:48] adamramadhan, you followed that page i linked ? === Guest84436 is now known as LjL [18:48] yes [18:48] a cd tux [18:48] batshwa: sounds like a bug, you should report it, does cpu spike or does it just feeze? [18:48] i did that do my drive C D and E [18:48] i have burned two already [18:48] even F [18:48] *freeze [18:48] both at slowest speed [18:48] adamramadhan, now restart windows and try that connection again from ubuntu [18:48] both give me same results [18:48] after waiting about 3-5 mins everything works again fine [18:48] ok [18:48] !enter | manu24531 [18:48] manu24531: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:48] wha does "spike" mean? [18:48] Manu24531: Did you burn the cd or did you request the cd? [18:48] up to my room again. :| [18:49] batshwa: when the cpu suddenly reaches 100% [18:49] sorry i will keep one line from now on, i burned the cd tux [18:49] batshwa: or near 100% [18:49] adamramadhan, then you shoud know what user is used for connecting to windows share [18:49] no, conky shows almost no activity [18:49] the cpu is constantly at 3-5 % [18:49] adamramadhan, user and password [18:49] gday, can anyone recommend a USB Bluetooth v2 class1 === andrew is now known as Guest73172 [18:50] Besogon, obviously, but you're missing key elements in windows networking... [18:50] Manu24531: try reburning the cd keep it on the lowest speed. I have noticed that many times. I had to adjust the speed to the higest before I got it to work. [18:50] plus, at the upgrade process two packages failed to upgrade: libavahi_core and autoconf [18:50] back [18:50] airtonix, what elements I have missed [18:50] adamramadhan, so windows machine has been restarted ? and you have desired folder shared ? [18:50] yes [18:50] in burned 2 cds already both at slowest speeds , both same result [18:51] aeon-ltd, do you think i should report it as a bug? [18:51] batshwa: try updating again, if it doesn't work report a bug [18:51] manu24531: what did you use to burn the disk? [18:51] maybe it's something to do with my pc? [18:51] airtonix, what autentification W7 uses lanman or lanman2 or something else? [18:51] aeon-ltd, update what? [18:51] Besogon, 1) that a windows user who has not touched linux before will have no concept of the terms "user" or "guest" network security mode. 2) that unless you turn simple file sharing on in windows you need to have identical user accounts on both machines to even get username password authentication to work [18:52] synaptic does not run, i cannot run apt-get at all [18:52] batshwa: packages (sudo apt-get update) [18:52] the first one i burned it on vista with the burner that the ubuntu site recommends, the second i burned it with brasero on the karmic i have installed on my desktop [18:52] aeon-ltd, apt-get returns a "Bus eror" [18:52] anyway how can we delate a bookmarked on places ? [18:52] it still cant work [18:52] adamramadhan, try connecting to the windows machine again from ubuntu. 1) left click on the desktop 2) press control and L 3) type : smb://192.168.1.222 [18:53] hi [18:53] boas povo [18:53] manu24531: All you had to do in karmic is right click on the iso and click write to disk. [18:53] sou novo por estas bandas do linux [18:53] L3 ? [18:53] airtonix, So tell him that Linux have to have 2 user and password data base for LAN [18:53] press L3 ? [18:53] Besogon, what ?

[18:54] tux: Well yeah I am new to ubuntu, still the brasero did the work, the cd starts well its after i press install ubuntu (or any other option from the menu) that I get a blank screen and cant go forward [18:54] is there a better way to RDP into ubuntu from a windows PC, trying to get into my personal server from the office [18:54] Besogon, no... i would not even bother trying to educate them on that ... [18:54] manu24531: Try burning the way I said and it will work.

[18:59] batshwa: according to this guy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2070840 you should delete the cached packages then run apt-get update/upgrade again [18:59] thanks [18:59] adamramadhan, you know what nautilus is ? [18:59] yup [18:59] hold on, the tutorial you guys gave me says its for installing 9.10 with an usb stick, should it be the same for 10.4? maybe its a stupid question, just making sure [18:59] im a novice linux but not a idiot one, im a php developer [18:59] adamramadhan, "how can we delate the bookmark on Places" look in ~/.gtk-bookmarks [19:00] adamramadhan, honestly, that doesn't mean anything [19:00] aeon-ltd, thanks a lot, i will try this now [19:00] adamramadhan: Are you trying to connect to a windows machine?

Select Windows Share and put in your ip address for your windows machine. Check the book mark button on the bottom and give it a name. Then you're done. [19:02] adamramdhan - srry to join so late - but can u a least ping between the machines? [19:02] adamramadhan, "nerdy" says the "php developer" [19:02] letas: good idea [19:02] connected [19:02] ttl 128 1 adamramadhan, thats fine but it doesn't mean your smb ports on the windows machine are open [19:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick should this procedure work on lucid? [19:03] adamramadhan: Did it work? [19:03] does this mean http://pastebin.com/uwLD39WN that xdebug is not installed?

[19:05] its not about the firewall then [19:06] how do i check if the ports are open [19:06] adamramadhan, by ip or name? [19:06] ip [19:06] adamramadhan, windows hostnames don't work at the commandline unless you use the smb tools. [19:06] i just installed ubuntu 64 bit this morning and i installed my nvidia drivers, but 1080p video on youtube lags a lot [19:06] i ping , turn off firewall. [19:06] smb tools ? [19:06] adamramadhan, open a terminal and type smbtree [19:07] helloworld, flash video doesnt get any vdpau as far as i know [19:07] faild [19:07] (it should list all available windows shares on the connected lan) [19:07] faild negrot:ERRnonmen [19:07] aeon-ltd, apt-get now works, thank you a lot! i have not done apt-get update/upgrade yet, since i want to try first update-manager [19:07] adamramadhan, then it means you've done something funky with your windows network sharing setup [19:07] what language its ERRnomem :| [19:07] batshwa: ok your welcome :) [19:07] hahaha loling spelling it [19:08] fungky ? [19:08] like what? [19:08] airtonix, smbclient -L localhost works better then smbtree [19:08] for me at least [19:08] adamramadhan - maybe I jumped to quickly but you are sharing from windows to Linux or viceversa!? [19:08] Besogon, what ? [19:08] wew [19:08] letas, trying to connect to a shared folder on a windows machine [19:09] airtonix, I've just commented your suggestion [19:09] letas, already turned simple file sharing on (with windows) [19:09] +kudos to airtonix :| [19:09] btw windows7 [19:09] brontoeee: thanks [19:09] there is no such thing is simple file shareing [19:09] Besogon, you know that your suggestion only lists shares on the localhost right ? [19:10] but i doo add more users to the permisions [19:10] adamramadhan windows is a pain in sharing, what version are u using? [19:10] everyone [19:10] adamramadhan, you might have said something when you read the guide I listed when the screenshots shows windows XP ?? [19:10] windows 7 [19:10] yes [19:10] its xp [19:10] adamramadhan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:10] ... [19:10] airtonix, not only on localhost but all the comuters those in the group [19:10] mine is 7 [19:10] all there is [19:10] hi, when I press restart or shutdown in ubuntu the mouse + screen turn off but the computer still stays on and doesnt restart. Any ideas? [19:10] is advance shareing and the other one [19:10] adamramadhan let's try this set up a share in ubuntu and try to access from windows [19:11] the otherone ( inserting users permisions ) [19:11] ok [19:11] jon_: try sudo restart [19:11] dont tell me the samdada thing [19:11] JackStoner, ok but how can I fix this so it doesn't do it anymore [19:11] Are there any guides on installing ubuntu on a macbook pro version 7.1? [19:12] Besogon, nope it actually only lists shares from the current machine. [19:12] Besogon, (it doesnt even list other samba machines) [19:12] jon_: i think you have to edit the menu ( i rarely use the menu) let me check if there's an option to edit those buttons [19:12] JackStoner: alrighty thanks [19:12] men i just love unbuntu linux powers , but men its so failing when it comes to share windows. [19:13] Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 3810TZ. My microphone does not work on Ubuntu 10.10 and my video player won't play mov videos. (I already installed the codex) [19:13] is there any software that can benchmark cpu in ubuntu? [19:13] jon_: dont see the buttons...which menu are u using?? custom or the gnome one?? [19:13] x86_64 means i got 64bit kernel ? [19:13] skumara: Have you tried system manager then system monitor. [19:13] Tux43, vlc and mplayer based players should play mov i think [19:14] JackStoner: This is a brand spankin new ubuntu install. So gnome. [19:14] Hello. I do not seem to be able to figure out how to assign different backgrounds to different desktops without using desktopcube. How can I make that happen? [19:14] adamramadhan please let me know if you know how to set up the share in Ubunut - it should be one of the easiest things to do [19:14] brontoeee: I tried vlc won't install and mplayer won't play the video just the sound. [19:14] on our lab machines, users authenticated over kerberos cannot login through gnome, only on the console, how can I debug this? [19:14] tux43 system manager? where is it? [19:14] jon_:does the menu display "application ..." or just an icon?? [19:15] Holy Crap! I just upgraded to 10.4 LTS and kinda wish I didn't. Hardware = MSI Wind u120. A couple problems: 1 I now have a white on black "screen intensity" notice in the upper right that is flashing along with the intensity - very hard to read the screen. 2 I have a 'menu' bar in the top with a few icons in it - speaker volume, battery/AC indicator, time , and login name. I want it on the bottom, and a panel with icons I put [19:15] there, and the option to build 3 'desktops' How do I get back to the good tried and true UI? [19:15] KittyBoots: you can configure diferent desktops backgrounds with compiz but you will loose the ability to have icons in the desktop [19:15] Skumara: go to system on the top of the screen. Administration then system monitor. [19:15] xangua; sure, that is great, how do I do it? [19:15] JackStoner: its the menu in the top right (the power icon) then I click that then press restart. Like I said earlier this is a brand new install nothing is customized or anything. [19:15] airtonix, http://pastebin/KAWf9njb [19:15] Tux43, the usual research is 1. mediainfo file.mov 2. google for specific video codec to see how to play [19:16] adamramadhan, Not harry [19:16] brontoeee: Thanks, but I am using 10.10. [19:16] hurry* [19:16] harry potter? [19:16] oh [19:16] ok [19:16] :) [19:17] jon_: oh ok...try and right click your panel and add custom menu to panel...try using that (when u add it it will display an icon only and u can click for the menu) [19:17] adamramadhan, i wouldn't confuse your own in ability to concentrate and focus with paitence with ubuntu failing [19:17] hahaha [19:17] JackStoner: k thanks [19:17] yeah windows = money spending ubuntu = time spending [19:17] jon_: tell me if it works [19:17] adamramadhan, true story, because by default all you do is turn on simple file sharing in windows xp... then done. [19:17] come on adam [19:18] its windows 7 :| [19:18] sadly [19:18] anybody running 10.04 on a dell mini 10" 1020? [19:18] other distros need much more attention [19:18] JackStoner: I have to finish installing chromium, skype etc... I'll check in a minute [19:18] Tux43, i just did : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c-korn/vlc && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc [19:18] malikeye|123: My GF is running it on mini 9. Having suspend issues? [19:18] on lucid, should work on 10.10 as well [19:18] jon_: k, goodluck [19:18] adamramadhan, make a cap of tee or coffi may be it won't be unuseful if you buy a bottle of wine... :) [19:18] adamramadhan, then you need to learn how to use windows 7 properly [19:18] imphasing, just ordered one last night [19:18] just wondering if peoples have been having problems with this model [19:18] adamramadhan, or move back to windows xp [19:19] forums seem kinda clean [19:19] airtonix: hahaha [19:19] Tux43, should get you version 1.1.2 of vlc [19:19] airtonix: men i have used windows from windows7 i never use that xp thing [19:19] malikeye|123: It works well, but there seems to be a suspend issue with 10.04. It could be due to the automatic partitioning being bad, since it makes a swap smaller than RAM, but that should only be an issue for hibernate. [19:19] i got one free copy from my univeristy [19:19] adamramadhan, i just setup 30 windows 7 computers to connect to and from a ubuntu server... it didn't take this long [19:19] I have idea and I don't even know if it's possible [19:19] imphasing, cool, I'll take a look into that [19:20] anyway i just open my 3rd computer and its shares nicely [19:20] my GF needs MS Word, so I gotta try to see why she "needs" it and try to get her to OO [19:20] airtonix, samba or ssh or ...? [19:20] cause I really don't wanna be running windows on a small laptop like that [19:20] brontoeee, obviously samba. [19:20] malikeye|123: It seems like the version previous to lucid works perfectly. [19:20] maybe there is holywar between windows and ubuntus these days [19:20] adamramadhan, what makes you think that ? [19:20] aeon-ltd, i ran update-manager and marked the distribution upgrade packages, libavahi_core and autoconf, after which the system froze for a few minutes while "processing man triggers" -- something seems to be wrong with the man(-)db processes, what do you think? [19:20] just guessing. [19:20] :| [19:20] malikeye|123: install Wine 1.2, install Word, be happy [19:21] adamramadhan, by the way did you bother to try sharing a folder from ubuntu and try connecting to it from windows ? [19:21] Office 2k7 is supposedly buggy daedaluz [19:21] adamramadhan, OK. I tell you. Did you install system-confog-samba package? If you do then this program, open settings [19:21] batshwa: try reinstalling mandb and its dependencies it may help [19:21] which I'm looking into now as well [19:21] hello [19:21] adamramadhan, make a folder on the ubuntu desktop, right click it, select sharing, share it with guest permissions... [19:21] becouse i need to get my backup files [19:21] buggy with wine that is :P [19:21] malikeye|123: not in 1.2 [19:21] ok so i made a usb stick bootable ubuntu instalation but still i am getting only a black screen with a cursor blinking so it wasnt a problem of the way i burned the cds [19:21] please, can anyone tellm e how i can boot into recovery mode with / mounted read-only? [19:21] hmm, I'll look again then... [19:22] but it would be pretty rad if you could create your own version of an Ubuntu CD where you choose programs via a web interface and it shows how much space is left and stuff [19:22] aeon-ltd, i will do that now, thanks [19:22] then drag my windows files from my windows pc to the folder that we have just make from samda ? [19:22] i'm trying recovery mode but / is mounted read-write and syslogd is started so i can't remount it read-only [19:22] its that correct ? [19:22] adamramadhan, open securety tab and change autentifications to 'share' [19:22] malikeye|123: All you have to do is go to tools then options then go to load/save and select general then select always save as select microsoft office 2007 [19:22] * cossier is away: Ara estic ocupat [19:22] hotstew: That would be badass. [19:22] Hello, I don't know if you know the xlock program. I was wondering how can this program authenticate users as it's run by a user (not root) and neither does it has root setuid? So how does it take my user's hash password? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated [19:22] Besogon: where is that ? [19:22] and the that iso is created on the server on the fly [19:22] !afk > cossier [19:22] cossier, please see my private message [19:22] hotstew: Put together a custom ISO for you :D [19:23] ... [19:23] hotstew, you can. [19:23] adamramadhan, What definetly is there? [19:23] Tux43, does MS Word read that format ok on the other end? I hardly ever use MS office formats... in my experience they didn't translate well between OO and MS [19:23] i can see ubuntu logo [19:23] yeah because I totally don't need some of the programs and others aren't there [19:23] application [19:23] places etc [19:23] guess I could experiment a bit [19:23] :| [19:23] adamramadhan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:23] I unterstand you can deinstall and install later [19:23] airtonix: Is there a nice slick weeb interface? :D [19:24] imphasing, yes, suse studio copied it. [19:24] adamramadhan, administration [19:24] airtonix: Ah, sweet. [19:24] malikeye|123: They were being saved as odf instead of Microsoft Office format. The read very clear. [19:24] don't even have any word docs, lol [19:24] adamramadhan, its called Samba for me [19:24] then ? [19:24] oh [19:24] i havent installed samda [19:24] ... [19:24] malikeye|123: OO reads all the word formats pretty well, last I checked. [19:24] can anyone please enlighten me as to how i can boot into read-only mode in the new 10.04 ubuntu? [19:24] ...

Am i missing some codecs cause Avidemux dont play any sounds after saving the file? And it also won't chance the format,just says that failed when i try to run the job [19:38] JackStoner: Remove the whole line or just the "quiet splash" bit [19:38] batshwa: so far i've found that autopackage causes problems like this [19:38] malikeye|123: It works?

So it was doing it on the livecd aswell. [19:51] Axz: devede does make DVD's so that is something to check like ZykoticK9 said, it's just whether or not it accepts MKV as an input [19:51] Axz: have you tried Ariste¿¿ is in software center [19:51] Axz, devede is probably your easiest/best bet. good luck.

[19:52] Or is it in application manager? [19:52] Axz, "sudo apt-get install devede" or use Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center [19:52] Axz: http://www.miksoft.net/mobileMediaConverter.htm [19:52] aeon-ltd, no, i can't find it using synaptic [19:53] the install (Clean) ubuntu 10.04 on an acer aspire - all the other browsers (seamonkey run just fine) [19:53] Axz, maybe handbrake [19:53] aeon-ltd, does that imply i do not have that package installed on my system?

[19:54] Its to do with Ubuntu Wireless, and its driving me mental [19:54] jon_: is there ways to fix it? coz im clueless with acpi :P [19:54] maxwave3: I'll give that a shot now. [19:54] !ask | mr [19:54] Axz, video files to DVD videos ;) [19:54] mr: 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).

[19:55] aeon-ltd, well that means i am going to format the whole disc and reinstall ubuntu, maybe install a minimal system as described on help.ubuntu.com [19:55] eee i meant [19:55] i found this for wifi http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next-2.6.git;a=commit;h=5ffaf8a361b4c9025963959a744f21d8173c7669 but i don't know how to use it [19:55] to get wifi working === gary_ is now known as Guest55110 [19:55] Anyway, the problem is, I am using a dell Wireless 10, ubuntu working with the dell, no problem. The thing is, I got the ubuntu so it picks up wireless signals, but It wont connect to them if its using a WPA/WPA2 key. I looked on the forums but there is no solutions, anyone help me please? [19:56] JackStoner: Yep there is an easy fix. It says to add reboot=b to /boot/grub/menu.lst file then it will pass it to the bios to reboot completely skipping what ever is acting retarded acpi wise. [19:56] cognitiaclaeves: so on my /etc/resolv.conf it starts with "search heroes.local", so when I ping spiderman, it actually attempts to ping spiderman.heroes.local [19:56] batshwa: wait, remind me what happens when you try to reinstall mandb? [19:57] jon_: well...hope it works...and if u want your splash screen back...replace the /etc/default/grub file with the backup and do a sudo upgrade-grub [19:57] aeon-ltd, nothing, it just hangs when processing some triggers, as far as i remember [19:57] How can I get my neigbors wifi? [19:57] aeon-ltd, the usual procedure [19:57] JackStoner: btw where are the acpi bios settings located? [19:57] aeon-ltd, as with any package i have installed so far [19:57] Penis [19:57] scribawf try this on a terminal if you can firefox --profilemanager and create a new profile and try starting it [19:57] Guest89532: That would very likely be illegal unless you have an agreement with your neighbor. [19:57] hi [19:57] So [19:57] Guest89532: if it is free then you can get it freely dont ask to hack [19:58] letas; OK thank you, it's firefox 3.5,btw [19:58] Anyone at all help me please? [19:58] Oh ok [19:58] maxwave3: Ok. So that .local terminology is useless. So I guess I comment out the .local lines and use the actual domain here.... but I see something like: search heroes.local heroes ... what is the ' heroes' for, or is does that just mean that spiderman.heroes will resolve the same as spiderman.heros.local ? [19:59] batshwa: before you reinstall completely, do you know how to build packages? [19:59] aeon-ltd, from source? i don't think so. i just know how to use make... [19:59] Ermm, could anyone help me at all with my problem or..? [19:59] Hey guys, can you please help me setting a VNC server on my vps via ssh? [19:59] is it just one of those things [19:59] mr: So your "Dell Wireless 10" has it's driver installed and you just need help connecting to WPA/WPA2 networks? There is configuration to be done on your computer AND possibly configuration to do on that wireless access point it is connecting to. I don't have many answers other than trying to set up the access point using different settings perhaps? That may make is easier for your Dell to connect to it. [20:00] mr: should be no problem connecting it with wep? [20:00] maxwave3: Do I need to restart anything for the new resolutions? [20:00] batshwa: good, does ./configure make make install sound familiar? [20:00] aeon-ltd, yes it does [20:00] Script, I can only try with WEP2 [20:00] scribawf it is ok - that works with every version of firefox (I think) - also try checking the logs and if there is another instance of firefox running [20:00] cognitiaclaeves: no, it normally works immediately [20:00] And headkase I am not sure how I would do that [20:00] batshwa: you could try building mandb(rather than reinstall through apt) and see if it helps [20:01] maxwave3: Also, it says "generated by network manager" ... do I need to configure this in network manager so that it isn't overwritten? [20:01] cognitiaclaeves: heroes.local was my example. The example on the ubuntu documentation shows "search example.com sales.example.com dev.example.com [20:01] letas; ok just about to create my profile, and yes it does work for this version of firefox 3.6, tu again [20:01] mr: you have proper password on it? [20:01] aeon-ltd, i will give it a try later. unfortunately i have to go this instant. are you frequently in this chat room? because we could make some arrangement as to when you're there [20:01] mr what is the output of "lspci | grep Wireless" in a terminal, notice the CaPiTaL W. if that fails exchange Wireless for Ethernet. [20:01] Yeah script [20:01] I checked it a good 5 times [20:02] yes, sorry I am on Ubuntu server, you must do this via network manager for it to stick [20:02] <||arifaX> I have an acer 1810t - everything works wonderful but I want to have more speaker volume. there must be more output. any ideas its an intel 82801I audio controller [20:02] I can connect to it but the wifi keeps not letting me go onto Internet and stuff [20:02] It picks up the wireless signal, but WILL NOT connect to it. [20:02] is there a way to see what process is running on a specific port number so that I know which process to kill? [20:02] batshwa: i'm here usually around the day (in gmt) [20:02] mr: I'm not sure either - usually there is a web-interface you can connect to to let you control your router settings. It is different for each one - do you have a manual that came with the wireless router? [20:02] tsziklay: sudo lsof -i :port [20:02] No it connects but I cant use it [20:02] maxwave3: ok. Stupid question -- where is network manager? [20:02] cognitiaclaeves: yes, sorry I am on Ubuntu server, you must do this via [20:02] network manager for it to stick [20:03] erUSUL: port = the port number in question right? [20:03] Headkase, when I installed it it gave me no options to use with the wireless unfortunatly [20:03] with upstart how do i configure what starts and what doesn't? [20:03] aeon-ltd, all right, i will come back later today. if you're not there, we'll talk again tomorrow, all right? [20:03] tsziklay: correct [20:03] cognitiaclaeves: upper right-hand in gnome [20:03] ok thank you [20:03] batshwa: ok [20:03] Sorry mate [20:03] Guest89532: then pay your own service [20:03] aeon-ltd, thanks a lot for your help! [20:03] letas; wanted to tell you, that made it work ok, must have the original default profile corrupted or something thanks again, appreciate your help [20:03] Guest89532: is this ubuntu you are using? [20:03] cya [20:03] has anyone in here ever install tightvnc on ubuntu? there is a unix version [20:03] cognitiaclaeves: my shows two arrows up and done [20:03] batshwa: bye [20:03] but its just source files.. I have no idea what I am doin [20:03] Yeah it should work but it doesn't ... Maybe its because me serial number is really wired [20:04] with upstart how do i configure what starts at boot and what doesn't? [20:04] Kingsy: what's wrong with the vnc provided in repositories ? [20:04] Kingsy: Did you check synaptic for tightvnc? [20:04] maxwave3: Ok. That's what I thought it was. Not sure where to configure that in there... Maybe I'll look for the default. [20:04] blitzo: check /etc/init/ directory [20:04] blitzo, using disabling GDM from starting as an example "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled" [20:05] Hi, I wanna know where is located the sound config file.

[20:06] mr: Try gentoo ;) [20:06] zykeo erUSUL are you telling me i have to manually read each and every script - and if i don't want it to run do i have to delete it from that directory? if that's a replacement for run levels it's stillborn [20:06] imphasing - no, i didnt realise it was there [20:06] mr: not really. for basic use anyway [20:06] mr: usually in a WIRED connection to get your router you would put: http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ to get to it's web interface. However you will most likely need a username and password from there - that is what you need the routers manual for. Once you can get into the routers settings then you can try the different modes of securing your wireless network. What we should try first - and depending [20:06] on others here, not me - is try to configure your computer first to access the router. Since you have not configured the router you probably don't have a password to put into your computer if it's wireless is secured. So you need to get into your router to set its options and password to then put into your computer. Like I said, someone else will likely have to help you with it - I'm not good with wireless. [20:06] anyone knows what can i do with this to use in my UNR http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next-2.6.git;a=commit;h=5ffaf8a361b4c9025963959a744f21d8173c7669 ? [20:06] i really need wifi :] [20:06] erUSUL - I cant use it .. the machine I am connecting to has tightvnc installed [20:06] blitzo: well deleting it is not a gfood idea but basically yes [20:06] maxwave3: That's good up until "search domains" , which is grayed out...

[20:07] Accordingly it is a problem with the Dell, but nobody can fgure out how to fix it, thats why I am here... [20:07] erUSUL, there is no configuration utility??? there is a chkconfig a la fedora but it only works with run levels. so are we using run levels or not? [20:07] maxwave3: Oh, I have to specify "Auto (DHCP) addresses only" ? Will that pick up DNS? [20:07] And headkase, I have a working password, and am using win 7 with wireless connection to type this [20:07] !anyone > Spikes [20:07] Spikes, please see my private message [20:07] cognitiaclaeves: bummer, you are using DHCP, i didn't think of that. This means your search domain is being provided by your DHCP server. If you are at home, this is probably your router. [20:07] does anyone know if chromium browser is really 64bit?

[20:08] ok. no sound after fresh install + updates install [20:08] mr: having the password is good, in addition if you can get into your router you may be able to set a different security mode - one that will work with 7 and Ubuntu. [20:08] hi i have just read the book "Linux Kernel in a NUTSHELL" and i intend to build my own kernel, is there something i should know that is specific to ubuntu kernels ? [20:08] blitzo, no runlevel is ubuntu "really". I just don't think tools have been written yet which deal with Upstart yet - it's all pretty manual at this point. [20:09] blitzo: not all services have been ported over to upstart so some things are still using /etc/init.d/ [20:09] blitzo: upstart has a comp mode to handle them [20:09] mr: pastebin your specs see if we have work around or something [20:09] erUSUL, what is a "comp mode" [20:09] Script, by specs you mee wireless card and everything [20:09] meen* [20:09] cognitiaclaeves: sorry, .local is what I use at home. Don't refer to that anymore. So, do you have access to the DHCP server, if at home it would be your router [20:10] maxwave3: Nope, not at home. [20:10] maxwave3: I'm pretty sure that .local is not being provided, though. The os is taking what is and appending .local to it. [20:10] blitzo: a mode compatible with SySV init scripts ( the ones used till now ) [20:10] hi i have just read the book "Linux Kernel in a NUTSHELL" and i intend to build my own kernel, is there something i should know that is specific to ubuntu kernels ? [20:10] And head, I can try to access the router controls, but its insralled to another computer thats downstairs and we never use so it would take me a while [20:10] blitzo: there is a #upstart channel [20:10] hi. when I launch timidity (sudo /etc/init.d/timidity restart) I obtain this error: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [20:10] [21:08] what can I do?

(second/final time asking) [20:13] bye [20:13] mr: there you go we have infos now [20:13] That's cause the signal is iether not sting enough or interrupted that's my guess [20:13] mr how do you lnow your ubuntu is picking up signals [20:13] whats with evolution ? i delete some emails the when i check for new mail the deleted ones apears again [20:13] Zyko I will need to start ubuntu up, as I have no wired connection optionnat the moment, sorry [20:13] So its not really possable just get [20:13] cognitiaclaeves: I'm trying to think how you can override the list of search domains. If you are at work, you would have to have IT give you a static IP address that will not change. You can manually edit /etc/resolv.conf but Network-Manager will overwrite every time you reboot or edit from Network manager [20:13] mr sorry i see it. [20:13] octet it does that :( [20:14] !tab > mr [20:14] mr, please see my private message [20:14] BLitzo they show up in the "Wireless connection managers" [20:14] octet: Probably not deleting from server. [20:14] octet: I would guess there's an option for that. [20:14] so any chance to make it delete from server? [20:14] where is the option ? [20:14] octet: Google would probably be a friend for you here ;) [20:14] mr and what happens when you select the ssid? [20:14] I don't use Evolution myself. [20:14] It keeps trying to connect, in a loop, but fails [20:14] maxwave3: That's not going to work. It will be too much of a PITA to request a static IP. [20:14] I entered it manually and it still did not work. [20:15] So I was torrenting a couple things when Ubuntu tells me I'm running out of space. This can't be right, so I open disc usage analyzer and it tells me I have used 57/80GB. A scan of the file system adds up to ~8gb, and even hovering over the "/" core in the ring chart says only 8gb. of course disc usage analyzer still says im using 60gb at the top... [20:15] maxwave3: I'd sooner run a script to modify the /etc/resolv.conf on bootup. [20:15] lspci sees my wireless nic. iwconfig sees wlan0, but I cannot get connected to any networks. How do I fix this? [20:15] mr hopefully you are talking about your wireless network and not the one from you neigbours ? [20:15] crap, why does they made evolution as default ? thunderbird still better, but i cant integrate it with indicator applet [20:15] cognitiaclaeves: are there many computer names that you are trying to access? If not, you can add them to your /etc/hosts file [20:15] Yes my wireless network [20:15] os[Linux 2.6.32-24-generic i686] distro[Ubuntu "lucid" 10.04] cpu[1 x AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1250 (AuthenticAMD) @ 2.21GHz] mem[Physical: 3.0GB, 79.6% free] disk[Total: 915.9GB, 92.5% free] video[nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia1: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia] [20:15] So, why is the filesystem saying I have used more space then I actually have?

I was hoping that Lucid had addressed the issue and had an easy fix. [20:18] mr, so it is asking for a passowrd, you type it in, and never connect? [20:18] No it goes into a loop where it keeps trying to connect [20:18] mr be sure you have looked through https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/83850 the "answer" was to use wicd as a network manager (something i don't personally know anything about) [20:18] what is the best book for kernel beginners that teaches how a linux kernel works ?

Now I wanna install ubuntu on it. [20:46] Script, I can use the terminal now as I am in Ubuntu itself using a wired connection [20:46] Do not know if that would help scriptwarlock [20:46] cognitiaclaeves: Apparently, "Automatic (DHCP) addresses only" allows you to assign the Search Domains but you must also assign DNS Servers manually.

[20:47] Yes === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak [20:47] scriptwarlock, I have to go for 1 minute to let the dog outside, brb [20:47] cognitiaclaeves: That should be a more viable solution as long as your IT department isn't always adding or removing DNS servers. [20:48] maxwave3: That seems to be the case. so...

[20:48] flash is lagging on my browsers. any ideas? [20:48] korst3n: flash does that [20:49] xD [20:49] jim2, it doesn't do that on windows so there should be a fix for it [20:49] mr http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/ubuntu-on-dell-10-wireless-wont-connect-739243/ [20:49] ahh nestea, i found out how to fix it, it's due to save types! change it to flash 128k in the menu... [20:49] I tried using nomodeset, xforcevesa, vga=771 to try to get the installer to move on but no luck, is it possible that there's no solution for this issue? [20:51] hello.

[20:52] yes script even if i use the bootable usb [20:52] mr & http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368699 [20:53] manu24531, I'm all outa suggestions [20:53] brontoeee: dont let him dig too much on hardware since it connects without security enabled on his wifi router [20:53] Suddenly I can't connect to a ubuntu sys I was connecting to few mins ago. I pinged it and I did not get any packet. I pinged my sys from it and it could ping my sys. What could be wrong pls? [20:53] maxwave3: gtg. Have a good one! :) [20:53] Back [20:53] Mr [20:53] how can i get a script 4 protect channel? [20:54] brontoeee, looking at the link now [20:54] can u gv me link [20:54] and not sure Fauzi [20:54] I wanna say something however, when I tried installing lucid on another laptop, in which i ran with the same issue, i did find a solution to get through the installer ( on a site which now I cant find). The thing was that after it was installed i ran across the same issue when I was booting from grub, so then i gave up and installed karmic. Both laptops which had the same problem have the common denominator of ati radeon cards [20:54] is there a way to use the 'pv' or similar command to monitor the progress of a 'mv /dir1 /dir2' type command? [20:55] Mr [20:55] where u from? [20:55] manu24531, does it have to be ubuntu? [20:55] well its for my gf wedwo and she likes the ubuntu i have on my desktop [20:55] both system are ubuntu. I have restarted both sys without any luck! [20:56] brontoeee, I looked at your link and you misread my question [20:56] Suit_Of_Sables: dunno what "pv" is, but you can just do "ls" or "du -h" on the directories to get an idea of progress. Or use rsync --progress to do the copy instead... [20:56] The drivers are there and working, and picking up wireless connections [20:56] BUT the system can not connect to these connections, instead going in a loop [20:56] I'm having a problem with lucid after resuming from suspend. Snort goes to 100% on one of my cores. How and what file do I use to code in /etc/apci a script to sleep for network devices to wake backup and run /etc/init.d/snort restart automatically? Any help would be appreciated. [20:56] so, flash sucks with firefox. I need to right + left click to exit ads on youtube videos, etc. Is there anything I can do? This happens on different hardware too, laptops, desktops, etc. Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit on all systems. [20:56] Mr: i suggest if you can reconfigure your wifi router and change the password for it [20:56] has anyone noticed a web site that summariezes what intel chipsets are having issues these days in Ubuntu/Linux? Looking at a new laptop with the 4500M chipset. Im just wantint to make sure that chipset is decently well supported at this time. [20:56] manu24531, try Mint or PCLinux - she'll like them too if you can get them to load. Otherwise try Damn Small Linux and you can configure it to look and behave pretty much like ubuntu [20:57] Scriptwarlock, do you meen password type or password? [20:57] Mr: oh well for your wpa [20:57] if i cant get lucid to work i will install karmic, but the issue is that i cant fathom lucid not working on this machine, i searched for a solution all over the net, i wanna find out the solution [20:57] Ok, gimme a min [20:58] Mr: we cut down the trouble to your wifi router since we have no problem connecting it without security being enable on your router [21:00] scriptwarlock, How would I change th wifi settings, the computer that we have the router on primarily has no program for it [21:00] it was just one you plug in and use [21:00] Roasted_: http://ppa.launchpad.net/sevenmachines/flash/ubuntu has a beta of flash that works great on 64bit systems === __ubuntu_ is now known as Ubuntu_newb [21:01] Mr: ha? is it 192.168.1.1? [21:01] Sorry? [21:01] Roasted_: go on ubuntuforums and search about sevenmachines and flash [21:01] wow it's working on my laptop, thanks guys for all your help [21:01] if you can't find it I can maybe dig it back up for you [21:01] Mr: change your wifi routers security settings like the pasword thing [21:01] scriptwarlock, I use the wired connection on here like I do with my normal computer, get the ethernet cable and plug it in [21:01] liquid, I got it from that link. trying it now. [21:02] it has no program for changing the wireless passwords or anything, I am sorry for all these things scriptwarlock [21:02] Mr: what brand of wifi router is that? cant open it on browser using the 192.168.1.1? [21:02] mr routers usually have some sort of via-the-browser settings manager [21:03] I'm trying to right to an external drive from a livecd. I chown'd the drive for the live session(nautilus' permissions tab reflects this) and 'sudo mount' shows the drive as rw yet I get "Read-only file system" when I try and 'touch' a file. what might be causing this? [21:03] 192.168.1.1? [21:03] I am sorry what does that meen? [21:03] ok i guess i will install karmic on the laptop but im really pissed at canonical for these bugs, searching the net it seems i am not the only one, i really wanted to have lucid lynx, anyways thanks for all your help guys im off to work [21:03] liquid, works here. Nice! Thanks! [21:03] I'm having a problem with lucid after resuming from suspend. Snort goes to 100% on one of my cores. How and what file do I use to code in /etc/apci a script to sleep for network devices to wake backup and run /etc/init.d/snort restart automatically? Any help would be appreciated. [21:03] Mr: If you dont know how to change the routers passwords, why are you trying to use a password for wpa on your laptop? [21:03] liquid, who exactly is "sevenmachines" ??? [21:04] manu24531: yeah install karmic then if you like the idea of uprading to 10.04 after you install the 9.10 [21:04] Sweetpi, the password is automatic [21:04] Its just there for the wireless connection. [21:04] i dont think upgrading from karmic would work but i might try it [21:04] Its wrote on the side of the router along with the encryption type [21:04] thanks for all script [21:05] I'm not sure Roasted [21:05] someone with access to the beta or something [21:05] it works great though solved all my flash issues [21:05] manu24531: gudluck for it and have always patience [21:05] Mr: thats my point, if you can connect without any encryption, then obviously wpa is not enabled on your router [21:05] Mr: mdoes the router actually have abuilt in modem or does it connect to a separate modem device ? [21:05] it certainly was a challenge to get this laptop working wirelessly, but it seems to work now, and suprisingly enough from the live cd [21:06] @ script: i will, ubuntu is worth the patience , bye [21:06] I am not connecting without encryption sweetpi, I have TRIED to se a connection thats unsecured and it worked [21:06] manu24531: :) [21:06] say I wanted to find oout what package provides a given lib file, how would I go about that? (eg: 'yum provides */file.foo' for RH based distro...) [21:06] And BluesKaj excuse me? [21:07] Mr: ok, sorry. I thought you said you connected to your router without encryption. [21:07] no sweetpi, another modem [21:07] Mr: if its your router then we have no problem lurking on your routers settings [21:08] Does anyone know what script in /etc/apci is used after wakeup from suspend. I read previous threads about resume.d or something but the structure has changed [21:08] Ok then scriptwarlock, great [21:08] wuz up [21:08] oie [21:09] lol [21:09] Mr: most routers are configurable , but the questions you weren asking implied that it wasn't: hence my question [21:09] scriptwarlock, how would I do it without a program specifically designed to do it? [21:09] BluesKaj, I am so sorry, I just do not know much about this stuff at all [21:09] Mr: can we have the brand of your wifi router [21:09] rizttech: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [21:09] @mr what stuff [21:09] Abnix: looks like apt-file search [filename] - source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux/%20RedHatEnterpriseLinuxAndFedora [21:10] scriptwarlock, All I know is its a netgear modem, it has no other details wrote on it (and as I say this I feel more and more stupid) [21:10] chrissharp123: thanks [21:10] Mr: hmm actually this is not now ubuntus problem as you mentioned earlier so are you doing this just to try your wpa? [21:10] Mr: no need to be sorry , we all have to mlearn this stuff sooner or later :) [21:11] Mr: try going to http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ in a browser to access your routers settings [21:11] sweetpi, doing it now [21:11] Sweet its worked =D [21:11] Give me 2 mins to enter the details [21:13] Sweetpi, it lets me get there, i enter the details correctly, and it just wants me to put them in again and again [21:13] sweetpi then if i press cancel it THEN says details incorrect [21:14] Mr: then you do not have the correct username/password for your router [21:14] sweetpi, would the username and password be the SSID and Network key [21:14] Mr: sweet [21:14] Mr: try username: admin password: admin or password [21:14] default wifi pass on netgear is no password.. user/pass default is admin/password [21:15] how should I set my wifi on ubuntu so that my android phone can see it and connect to it ? [21:15] ok sweetpi 2 mins [21:15] bugs me about netgear, coming with wifi enabled and no auth. [21:15] knowing that ad hoc mode doesn't work with android === MrJones_ is now known as MrJones [21:15] duffy: thats what I thought, but Mr insists it has a wpa password [21:15] servietsky, bluetooth? [21:16] hello everyone! [21:16] brontoeee, can i share the internet of my laptop with android through bluetooth ? [21:17] sweetpi its still not letting me into the wireless router settings, I tried using admin then password, admin then admin [21:17] usually the ip address, user/pass and mac are printed on the back of a netgear [21:17] And my sister really needs to use the internet now, so I will be back in about 20 minutes, will you still be here one of you [21:17] And duffy yes all of them are printed there but when i enter them it asks me to put them in again and again [21:17] I put in my SSID then my Network Key [21:17] Mr: im sure one of 1590 people will be here :) [21:18] sweetpi, thanks man, Its just nice to have someone who knows whats going on [21:18] Mr, there is usually a small hole for you to stick something in to reset to defaults...that`ll get you on. [21:18] Mr: time to reset your wifi router [21:18] Ok duffy, i will be back in 20 mins as my sister is literally kicking me lol, i will continue this then, and thanks for all your help by the way [21:18] But my last question, if it works in WIn 7, Why does it not work in ubuntu? [21:19] Mr are you sure it has wpa enabled and you need a password? [21:19] duffy, it uses a WPA encryption key, and the password is my network key [21:19] and i will be back in 20 mins, bye [21:20] duffy: he says it prompts for a password on wpa when conneting [21:20] I bet hes manually specifying wpa on ubuntu [21:20] duffy: but got no problem with no auth enabled [21:20] scriptwarlock, oh.. the 'password and encryption' application pass or router pass [21:21] scriptwarlock, probably something like its using tkip instead of aes or vice versa... I have mine all setup in interfaces, quicker. [21:22] depends what router it is and if its wpa1 or wpa2 [21:23] duffy: well as he said he got no problem on open and wpa [21:23] hey everyone [21:23] duffy: i mean wep [21:24] please how do i edit my application menu on ubuntu 10.04 [21:24] pradeep: right click on it [21:25] i get no response when i click on edit menu [21:25] I havent been following it, just the last couple of lines. i`ll wait till he comes back [21:25] try it on yours [21:25] system/preferances/main_menu [21:25] pradeep: got no problems here [21:25] pradeep, system, prefs, main menu [21:25] doh [21:25] wow it did not work for me [21:25] pradeep: wew [21:26] pradeep u get that?

[21:42] lol [21:42] mr, probably [21:42] Solow1: install wine. it has notepad [21:42] Solow1: try nano its got more feature then notepad and even faster but all in terminal [21:42] erUSUL: /home/igro [21:42] th0r: Done. thanks, that does it. [21:42] i said there's a problem on the ubuntu repositories [21:42] Would it be best if we talked then duffy [21:43] igro: did you added any command to ~/.bashrc ? or ~/.profile ?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:43] slacker: nope, because that's terminal, missing the key features of notepad.

[21:44] rek: let it choose the best server for you. [21:44] Solow1, gedit is as good, and in my opinion much better than notepad, but if you really want notepad, do as bastid_raZor said, just install wine. [21:44] \quit [21:44] nxsetup binary is not present. So i cant config freenx server [21:44] Wiesshund: Nah, just something like this'll do. besides, wine'll slow it down again. [21:44] although notepad in wine wouldnt be as fast [21:44] wah, I can't get write permissions on this drive! I have tried chowning as root, then chmod 777. both while mounted and to the mount point when unmounted. The drive is hfs+ but journaling is disabled and I have hfsprogs and hfsutils installed. what could be the problem here? === disturbe1mime is now known as disturbedmime [21:44] \leeave [21:44] Yeah duffy [21:44] its broadcasting the name [21:44] Ive got an Asus eeeBox PC b202 and the wired nic does not work on ubuntu 10.04 server - im finding info on wireless on google, but not wired, any help?

[21:45] http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/wiki/Home [21:45] mr, ok.. well its usually a good idea to not have it broadcast :) [21:45] why not duffy? [21:45] boogz you got server on an eeepc? [21:45] rek: install it from the repository and you'll be able to type in a terminal: man youtube-dl :to get a manpage on how to use it [21:45] Suit_Of_Sables, did you pass the option -R for both chmod and chown? [21:45] It's actually funny, I'm not using ubuntu but jolicloud, still I go here for help... :) [21:46] Wiesshund: uh yeah why [21:46] kerebrus: use the cmd for it to connect [21:46] zomg its impossible to talk here. 9k people speaking at the same time [21:46] Wiesshund: what difference does it make, they wouldnt take out hardware support, its the same thing [21:46] Solow1, rr understand, I used Notepad++ in WinDoze, it's hard to change old habbits :-) [21:46] scriptwarlock how? [21:46] bastid_raZor, and with the little file what can i do? [21:46] Suit_Of_Sables, -R is recursive and does all files inside said dir/drive [21:46] KE1HA: Exactly. Like getting used to netbeans.... gh.... [21:46] alguna idea? [21:47] mr, so nobody else sees it and tries it [21:47] kerebrus: well give me a minute if i can recall my windows powers :( [21:47] Duffy, I live next to a 80 year old woman and a holiday home, and thats the only people within about 100yards lol [21:47] rek: what little file? if you install it from the repository then you can do as i said and type: man youtube-dl [21:47] mr, well in some os and software it comes up anyway as 'uknown' but still... [21:47] So yeah, I could PROBS go without wireless scecurity and be ok, but why risk it [21:47] mr, ok nevermind.. we`ll sort it out later [21:47] Ok [21:47] join #ubuntu-es [21:47] erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/472362/ [21:48] perdon [21:48] Duffy, I am gonna go now, and be back in half a hour or so using ubuntu [21:48] here my google string right now: eeebox b202 ubuntu NIC not working -wireless -remote -pxe -windows [21:48] im not finding SHIT [21:48] bastid_raZor, they fixed something recently i downloaded it from the link i gave u [21:48] If you are here, we will talk then, if not, thanks for the help anyway matre [21:48] the nic literally is not on or seen by ubuntu, i cannot be the only person with this problem [21:48] You have gave me a better idea of what to do [21:48] someone else MUST have tried this [21:48] rek: read on that page for how to install and use it. [21:48] mr, i`ll be here. [21:48] boogz eh LT doesnt see some of the hardware on the craptop ive got here but netbook does, go figure. [21:48] Ok duffy, thanks man =D [21:48] this isnt a laptop dude [21:49] Wiesshund: its an eeebox PC. [21:49] boogz oh my mistake sorry [21:49] no problem [21:49] i guess i need to find out what NIC is in here [21:49] boogz i missed the box part [21:49] ruhtranayr: I did indeed use the recursive flag. but It tells me it is 'read-only' after each file it attempts to change permissions on as it scrolls through the contents of the dir [21:49] and why the hell it doesnt work [21:49] how do i log into an ubuntu machine from another ubuntu machine [21:49] mr, did you install the STA driver or the b43 driver from hardware drivers [21:49] Hey, does anyone know if its possible to put music on an ipod from lucid server? [21:49] boogz try lspci, should see nic listed in there [21:49] Solow1, btw3 once you install wine, notepad is under Applications >> Wine >> Programs >> Accessories >> notepad [21:50] KE1HA: I know, and wine'll slow things down :) [21:50] NICe [21:50] Wiesshund: its listed: Jmicron [21:50] LOL wtf is that [21:50] KE1HA: So I won't be using notepad, but mousepad. Which actually looks better [21:50] !ipod | corpsegrindr [21:51] corpsegrindr: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [21:51] http://www.jmicron.com/ [21:51] so lifelike [21:52] Solow1, There's lots of much better alternatives. You could also try Crimson or Notepadd++ under Wine, they are both really good apps. [21:52] Suit_Of_Sables, i'm betting your /etc/fstab is set to mount your drive readonly [21:52] boogz they got linux drivers for download [21:52] G_G, there are several ways , open ssh or with smbclient thru the network optoon in nautilus is what I use [21:53] ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/ [21:53] KE1HA: I know, They're all great editors. I just like being able to pop something open, type, and save the file within 10 seconds in stead of waiting for it to load. Really, mousepad is fine :) [21:53] Solow1, here's a Notepad++ How-To0: http://bur.st/~gunny/winehowto.html [21:53] ruhtranayr: but I'm manually mounting with the -w flag :*( [21:53] Solow1, I've not used mousepad, will have to look at that one. [21:53] Wiesshund: yeah copying to thumb drive now, i dont know if i have gcc and such, if i dont im screwed [21:53] KE1HA: I know notepad++. I personally prefer nusphere PhpEd for windows :) [21:54] anyone know if scott james remnant hangs out in here/anywhere? [21:55] uRock, did not work [21:55] there is sound in virtualbox -XP but ubuntu has no sound i couldnt do it a little help please [21:55] kerebrus: sorry cant help much on windows box cmd [21:55] scriptwarlock, did not work [21:55] !virtualbox [21:55] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

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 [21:55] Suit_Of_Sables, hmm weird...well if your fstab is set up right, you should just be ablle to do 'sudo mount -a' ...can you pastebin your fstab? [21:55] gparted wont let me resize my .../home [21:56] Solow1, if ever there were downside to Linux, it would be too many choices :-) ... [21:56] pradeep: what do you mean did not work? [21:56] scriptwarlock its fine, I figured it out, decided it was time I dusted off my windows box section of my brain [21:56] unclemike: you would probably need to do that from a liveCD or a gpartedCD since you can not resize a mounted partition [21:56] kerebrus: lolz [21:56] !dhcp [21:56] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [21:56] scriptwarlock, alacarte had errors [21:56] what is the difference between patch -p0 en patch -p01? [21:56] boogz: So "ifconfig" doesn't list an eth0 at all? [21:57] i want edit my menu application [21:57] pradeep: well pastebin the errors [21:57] KE1HA: Well, I do not fully agree. I love linux, I really do, but it feels a bit to... tight. Like, it's harder to navigate trough. perhaps because I've used windows for 18 years and linux only one. [21:57] url to pastebin [21:57] bastid_raZor, i remember in other distro's you could resize while in the distro [21:58] unclemike: gparted does not allow resizing a mounted partition. there is no way around that. [21:58] i need something similar to youtube-dl what can i download [21:58] scriptwarlock, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/uPtA0QuU [21:58] Suit_Of_Sables, mount -o force /dev/sdx /mnt/blabla [21:58] http://raamdev.com/mounting-hfs-with-write-access-in-debian [21:58] ^ Suit_Of_Sables [21:59] rek, why not use youtube-dl ? [22:00] it's broken [22:00] bug [22:00] unclemike: You can only rezize a mounted partition if it's ext3 and you're enlarging it rather than shrinking it. [22:00] pradeep: hmm could there be a corrupted file [22:00] damn [22:00] Suit_Of_Sables, do you have hfsplus installed? sudo apt-get install hfsplus (silly question i know :P) [22:01] Suit_Of_Sables: Check dmesg, there may be a problem with the filesystem that is causing it to be mounted read only to prevent further damage. [22:02] anyone? [22:02] here is the fstab. It's very small as I'm on a LiveCD http://pastebin.com/yzUBrbWx [22:02] hi [22:02] ruhtranayr: ^ [22:02] scriptwarlock, any clue [22:02] hi [22:02] can t configure ekiga work for voipdiscount [22:02] Does anybody know where the openoffice.org dictionary is stored?

[22:05] Jordan_U: You are correct sir. "Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running fsck.hfsplus is recommended. mounting read-only" [22:05] hiexpo, like a flash drive? or to the local hd [22:05] ok on this old laptop im running ubuntu 8.04 and im trying to updat to 10.04 do i have to update to 9 first or is there any way to skip that? [22:05] Ubuntu_newb, what do you want to copy ? [22:06] wow [22:06] Pig: have to follow the upgrade path [22:06] way to plan ahead guys [22:06] sounds like Ubuntu_newb wants to copy his wifi password [22:06] GCC doesnt come iwth ubuntu [22:06] how am i supposed to compile my NETWORK DRIVERS..... [22:06] seems a bit short sided lo [22:06] Suit_Of_Sables, hmm...is it possible to edit the fstab file and save it? i mean since its a live cd, doesnt that mean its read-only? i have little to none experience with live distros :\ [22:06] Pig, better to do a fresh install [22:06] hey [22:06] hiexpo, wireless settings that allow me to connect to internet, was really hard to setup, anyway to copy them to disc? [22:07] ok so how do i know if i have a 64 bit? [22:07] hi, i gotta a problem with my apache2 server, a problem related to htaccess and addtype, would somebody know about that? [22:07] got it i was trying an install disc... and some weird stuff was happening but i will try again... thanks [22:07] Suit_Of_Sables, did you try the force ? [22:07] what is the path to install libgpg-error [22:07] ruhtranayr: I'm not to sure how it works but I think as long as you have RAM left you can 'write' [22:07] where is it typically installed [22:07] Ubuntu_newb, whay wasit hard to set up [22:07] help help I Just want to active my digital meter on My Book Elite http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=754 could U tell me how?

Ive been looking around but Im really not sure on some of the file placement [22:09] should i install it in home? [22:09] Ubuntu_newb: The `seahorse` program can show you the saved network password. Copying the entire network configuration to another computer is difficult because NetworkManager uses the GNOME registry. [22:09] or somewhere like var, opt or bin??? [22:09] hiexpo [22:09] I've been using fat32 to share a partition between windows and ubuntu. Has ntfs support gotten to the point where it would work better for this? [22:10] openick_, move the file to your home folder and untarit there but than you have to compile it [22:10] I see they support symlinks now, and it supports larger files than fat32. [22:10] thanks hiexpo [22:10] will try now [22:10] phew, upon running fdck.hfsplus on the drive it now mounts rw as it should! [22:10] yup [22:10] Ubuntu_newb: You can view the NetworkManager settings by running the `gconfeditor` program and going to System -> Networking. [22:11] hi, i gotta a problem with my apache2 server, a problem related to htaccess and addtype, would somebody know about that? [22:11] scriptwarlock, i noticed the is no file in my menus folder [22:11] hmmm [22:11] prakriti: The only downside to using ntfs is that there is no chkdsk equivelent for linux, which means that if it's unmounted uncleanly you may have to use windows to repair it before it will mount again in linux. [22:12] dajhorn thank you for the help [22:12] : Thanks for the link very helpful [22:12] Ubuntu_newb: Welcome. [22:12] openick_, than cd "untared folder name" [22:12] I was told it is not possible to monitor the progress of a 'mv /dir1 /dir2' command with 'pv'. Is that true? and/or if so, is there another means you might suggest for moving a fairly large amount of data and monitoring it's progress? [22:12] than ./configure [22:12] Pig: no probs [22:13] Suit_Of_Sables, you can copy using pv then delete the source [22:13] than make than sudo make install [22:13] Suit_Of_Sables: Use rsync.

[22:39] Pig: always my first question with such problems: did you md5sum check the iso before burning? [22:40] usb thumb = backup and storage device not a operating drive [22:40] hello everybody! Can please someone help me? [22:40] !ask | kanoutas [22:40] kanoutas: 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. :-) [22:40] does anyone know why my ubuntu seems to be stuttering/skipping during many tasks? ie. audio, web browser javascript, video playback, etc.? [22:40] kanoutas: Whats the wrong? [22:40] KE1HA: if rsync supports it grsync will. it only contructs a rsync command line from the dialog box [22:41] hey guys... i just upgrade to Server 10.x and im getting some issue with sshd... "Connection reset by peer" then a "port 22: Connection refused" then trying to reconnect... [22:41] guntbert: yes but not afterwords [22:41] if i let a good 5 mins goes by.. then i can connect to it just fine [22:41] erUSUL, rr, makes sense. tnx. [22:41] I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04. I can't start windows vista now. The windows cd doesn't run. The ubuntu live cd cannot run properly. [22:41] @klaxian i got the same thing happening, related to RAM mostly [22:41] Pig: then please select "check CD" from the menu [22:41] fabjoa_mwoz: what is the fix? [22:42] kanoutas: Did you do a dual boot? [22:42] fabjoa_mwoz: it doesn't seem to happen in windows? [22:42] is there a way to create an IRC server with ubuntu 10.04? [22:42] is this chat alway so busy and fast? [22:42] meera: yes [22:42] using the same computer (processor, ram, etc)? [22:42] meera: usually [22:42] fabjoa_mwoz: yes [22:42] meera, yes [22:42] nautilus loves to crash during large file transfer operations, and sound is skipping regularly because pulseaudio is bolted on GNOME. this is supposed to be LTS? [22:42] meera: you can tell your client to ignore the join/part messages - that reduces scrolling [22:43] daedaluz: ubuntus requirements have gotten steeper over the releases [22:43] Tux43>i had the previous version of ubuntu. It was running normaly. I just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 online. (without cd) [22:43] yah i was first blaming my skipping on pulse but it seems that my whole system is affected [22:43] aeon-ltd: what do you mean? [22:43] howdee, i am looking for an application that will allow me to have a monitor that automatically cycles through a list of URL's. Say something like 2minutes per URL and then swith to another one. Anyone know of an application that does this? [22:43] @mmcji curl, maybe [22:43] daedaluz: stock ubuntu is a lot harsher on hardware than most other distros [22:44] Hey. [22:44] klaxian: tried rooting out ALSA and replacing it with OSS? it's my next step before resuming Suse [22:44] hey- i am following some instructions, and they dont really say where to put the file. although the script says a location would that be the location? [22:44] guntbert: im not getting a menu? it just gives me the copy right thingy then this picture [22:44] aeon-ltd: bad excuse. this is tri-core system with 4GB DDR3 and GPU that runs Crysis. [22:44] daedaluz: well i'd hate to have to manually set up a key part of the system. that's why i use ubuntu in the first place [22:44] Tux43 I used to have grub working properly but now it doesn't. I can only boot ubuntu now. [22:45] plus i want multiple apps to be able to play sounds at once, OSS can't do that [22:45] in addition, the skipping/stuttering isn't limited to audio for me [22:45] daedaluz: ok, we have some problems then, ati card? [22:45] yope, linux ubuntu has some flaws, sorry klaxian, I, on my behalf, wont be able to help, can you do some troubleshooting? [22:45] Pig: when you boot with the live CD? [22:45] aeon-ltd: no, nvidia and proper drivers. [22:45] ok sorry, my comp froze up so i have to ask again, is there any way to create an IRC server on ubuntu 10.04 lts? [22:46] daedaluz: sounds like bugs then, what else causes these slow-downs? [22:46] klaxian: well OSS can do that for me... in KDE with Phonon [22:46] guntbert: yeah... do i hit like f2 or f12 or something? [22:46] too fast good night. [22:46] kreeper, https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/irc-server.html [22:46] fabjoa_mwoz: i have been troubleshooting for some time, but i am happy to do more. i get these messages in my log: pulseaudio[1622]: ratelimit.c: 1381 events suppressed [22:46] ok thx ke1ha [22:47] aeon-ltd: nothing. I'm merrily copying ~100GB of files through CLI, so GNOME is botched [22:47] Pig: usually not - what version are you trying to install? [22:47] can you disable the other sound servers? [22:47] kreeper, Also see FAQ: http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/ircnet/faq.html [22:47] fabjoa_mwoz: how would i do that? [22:47] guntbert: im trying to install 10.04 on a 8.04 machine [22:47] daedaluz: whats a 100gb that needs copying, just wondering [22:47] when is 9.10 support over? [22:47] aeon-ltd: files [22:48] !9.10 [22:48] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [22:48] Again: is there a way to set the "Paste as Unformatted text" the default paste option for the whole system? [22:48] also stuff like this: kernel: [ 9.972481] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj. [22:48] daedaluz: "files" heh heh heh [22:48] thx [22:49] aeon-ltd: sufficient description, unless Ubuntu ditched the whole basic UNIX filesystem concept while at it [22:49] what is the music software u use? [22:49] Pig: (I still suspect a bad disk) with what speed did you burn it? [22:49] I'm still on Gutsy. Looks liek I can upgrade to Hardy, then to Lucid, but in the meantime (not sure if I want to do six hours worth of downloading, or just fresh install lucid another day) I want to connect to a wireless network automatically. Anyone know how? [22:49] fabjoa_mwoz: i have tries totem, audacious, mplayer, etc. all have the same result [22:50] klaxian: ffmpeg in 10.04 isn't working properly either. try VLC and see what happens [22:50] There is a problem I have with xchat, when x it, It goes to tray for a brief second and then totally closes..? *I have the option set to tray always on*. Does anyone know the fix to this? [22:50] daedaluz: not much in 10.04 is working properly is seems. i can't believe this is LTS [22:50] I'm trying to migrate a functioning Lucid Lynx install from VMWare Workstation to ESX. For some reason, the ESX instance does not recognize the emulated network. I have no eth0. lspci -k does list an Intel gigabit ethernet controller. I'm new to Ubuntu, is there some command to re-scan the network hardware? [22:51] klaxian: yea === _ng is now known as _NG [22:51] theres alot of crap on the beach [22:51] it looks like one can monitor the progress of a mv/cp command:http://duck.noduck.net/20091010/progress-cp-mv though I'm afraid there isn't enough info there for a newb like myself to recreate it [22:51] jim2, it kinda works :-) [22:51] guntbert: i dont remeber sorry should i just reburn and md5 sum check it? [22:51] klaxian: so ur issue is media skipping while playing, right? video, audio? can u be more detaily about the javascript issues u were talking about? [22:51] i wish the ubuntu folks would actually make a release without somewhat severe issues in it. every release, there are different, annoying, widespread issues [22:51] klaxian: personally i think rolling release is more stable than lts [22:52] yope, 10.4 is ok but not outstanding [22:52] aeon-ltd: none have been without pretty large issues for me [22:52] klaxian: you can't really blame them though, they are devs who work for free [22:52] Hardy Heron was the best though [22:52] aeon-ltd: i'm not blaming upstream, i blame ubuntu (canonical) [22:52] or maybe im just nostalgic [22:52] aeon-ltd: isn't exactly stopping Debian people from making a decent system [22:52] ubuntu folks choose what goes in [22:52] erUSUL, thats not what i wanted what i want to know is there gonna be a day that i will no longer be able to update my 9.10 ? [22:53] klaxian, could be worse. I remember paying for buggy OS... [22:53] I've been having a problem with synaptic package manager and update manager the last few days. Synaptic just hangs for a long time, and eventually crashes to desktop. Update manager hangs, then spits out this error "Could not initialize the package information.... An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Read error - read (5:Inpu [22:53] paulmain: very true ;) [22:53] Pig: you could try 1) md5sum check the image once again, 2) burn with the lowest possible speed OR install a virtualization software on your old system and mount the iso as a virtual CD there [22:53] lol [22:53] invisiblegorilla: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [22:53] how do you fix the problem where you cannot retrieve packages using the update manager? [22:53] I have been trying to update for a couple days but keep getting the same error [22:54] guntbert: ok i will try those thank you :D [22:54] hiexpo, the real answer would be yes, but when that would be, is yet to be determined. [22:54] Cant you juse kill -USR1 pid the process to get its status [22:54] i'm not knocking ubuntu, but it seriously has become bloat; yeah you could blame gnome [22:54] zortec: update manager does not work from shell? [22:54] Pig: Good luck :-) [22:54] I was using the graphical end fabjoa_mwoz [22:54] how to update grub? grub-update doesn't work [22:54] guntbert: thanks :D [22:54] !upgrade | Pig [22:54] Pig: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [22:54] KE1HA, ok [22:54] yeah guntbert : is there a gui for "tc(man)" and "iptables(man)" in ubuntu? [22:54] sandking, update-grub [22:54] zortec: and from shell? [22:55] is it global menu? [22:55] duffy, thx [22:55] fabjoa_mwoz: what is the command from shell just to update the packages that you need? [22:55] Pig: I personally don't think you should re-install (unless you want to), and you can upgrade directly to 10.04 from 8.04 as they are both LTS releases. [22:55] !firewall | invisiblegorilla [22:55] invisiblegorilla: 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. [22:55] riiiight [22:56] Jordan_U: this computer is having some wifi isues [22:56] non-existant [22:56] lol [22:56] failed to fetch packages [22:56] is the update server down? [22:56] invisiblegorilla: be a bit more verbose and concise in what you mean. [22:56] zortec: dosent seem to be for me.

[22:56] that is one of the error messages Dr_Willis [22:57] Dr. i cant .. i'm drunk and stoned [22:57] zortec: could be theres some updates going on. [22:57] !lol [22:57] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.

[22:58] fabjoa_mwoz: not sure how that is going to help [22:58] sandking, what is "p" eee [22:58] trying to find out why apt-get can't get the packages from the server [22:59] hiexpo, eee that has p in the name - it's shortcut for name of the cpu i think [22:59] zortec: and using ubuntu software center? (sorry, i didn't follow the all discussion) [22:59] zortec, have you read the errors why > it will tell you [22:59] zortec: do other files work? [22:59] hiexpo: the error is just that it failed to fetch...

[23:00] zortec, from whom ? [23:00] Dr_Willis: can't get any of themt o update [23:00] zortec: the files not on the server for some reason. It could bhe getting updated. [23:00] zortec: the server may be getting some updates or down for some reason [23:00] Dr_Willis: that seems unlikely, don't u think? [23:00] or another synaptic open [23:01] well this has been happening for a couple days [23:01] Dr_Willis, just curious, is there a Update-Server Status page that you know of? [23:01] hiexpo: another synpatic open would give a lock error$ [23:01] every time I try to update, get the same error message [23:01] hey guys how do i install a GDM greeter theme? [23:01] is there a manual way to do it because i dont think i have a GUI application? [23:01] 5 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ is working here [23:01] is there a way to make gnome terminal respond to the visual bell? [23:02] picard1421: gdm2 dosent use the old gdm themes.. [23:02] Dr_Willis, workign hree also. [23:02] should I change the update server? [23:02] oops working here :-) [23:02] hi [23:02] ok.. [23:02] how do install theme though? [23:02] i'm using laptop and trying to connect an exter,al monitor to it, well it works but wont give me the correct resolution [23:02] picard1421: if its a GDM 1 theme.. you dont. it wont work with GDM2. [23:02] i've used xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_50.00" 120.21 1680 1776 1952 2224 1050 1051 1054 1081 -HSync +Vsyn [23:03] probally jacked his > her repos ^ [23:03] yeah it was gnome-globalmenu if you like your sanity......do not install this. [23:03] hi, is the default runlevel 2 ok? normally we use runlevl 3. [23:03] picard1421: for other gnome theme parts you can drag/drop them onto the 'appearance settings' window and it should install them to your .themes dir. [23:03] to add 1680x1050 but got this error, http://pastebin.com/qBLfykTd [23:03] hiexpo: how do you fix that? [23:03] if any can check it please [23:03] i just want to change the GDM theme [23:03] r15: ubuntu dosent use runlevels like the older disrtos do. [23:03] aeon-ltd: hi, just came back [23:03] does anyone know how to get CS2D working? [23:03] hello [23:03] !runlevel | r15 [23:03] r15: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [23:03] i downloaded a GDM theme and i just want that one to change im not sure where i go.. i am currently in the GNome desktop .. but am somewhat lost lol [23:03] picard1421: check out the program 'epidermis' and perhaps 'gdm2setup' [23:04] anyone here use ever setup a ipcop firewall ? [23:04] take a look at firehol [23:04] lwizardl: I ran one for years. [23:04] changed from the main server to the server for the united states [23:04] picard1421: if you downloaded a GDM1 theme. it wont work with the newer GDM. Thats the bottom line. [23:04] aeon-ltd: can you tell me where i can find the source files of mandb? [23:04] Dr_Willis: ok who -r giving me run-level 2, is it ok? or shall i change it to run-level 3? [23:04] picard1421: unless you want to downgrade to the older gdm [23:04] zortec, go into sys > adm > software sources and check all [23:04] r15: whio is this even an issue? ive never had to mess with the runlevels under normal operatiion. [23:05] screen keeps on flickering at intervals of 5min a dell insiprion 1440 does it happen to anyone here [23:05] r15: runlevel 3 and 2 are identical. [23:05] ChrisWeis, cool can i send you a pm? i have a feq questions i would like to ask [23:05] ok, thanks Dr_willis [23:05] batshwa: what ubuntu version are you using? [23:05] lwizardl: Sure. [23:05] Actually, 2 thru 5 are identical I got schooled on that last week :-) [23:06] ChrisWeis, thank you [23:06] aeon-ltd: i am using xubuntu 10.04, but with fluxbox as window manager [23:06] err 2 & 5 are same?

[23:07] i think its the old one.. but unless im mistaken.. [23:07] zortec: if you lived in the states yes [23:08] i downlaoded a GDM background folder... i just need to know where to change the config file to point to it instead of its ugly beige thinggy [23:08] zortec, did you check all folders > updates > and other software? [23:08] aeon-ltd: is there anything that can go wrong when i try to compile mandb? (meaning, i won't lose any data during a routine job like this one, will i?) [23:08] hiexpo: where? [23:09] where is "mr" [23:09] batshwa: no, 99% sure/hopefully something won't go wrong [23:09] zortec, in software sources [23:10] aeon-ltd: do i need the .dsc and both .tar.gz files? [23:10] hmm, it is working when I changed from the main server to server from us [23:10] where is the main server located? could it be down? [23:10] batshwa: no just the tar.gz [23:11] zortec, possible [23:11] aeon-ltd: but both tar.gz's, right? [23:11] zortec: i dont think the server would be down, there would some kinda announcement about it [23:11] fabjoa_mwoz: how do you explain it? [23:11] it's downloading the files without a hitch now [23:11] i use get deb and they go down occasionally [23:12] dns issues, maybe [23:12] no actually i dont think so [23:13] 225 files to download... [23:13] what;s "erst table not found" error at bootup? [23:13] zortec, see relax take a Valium < smoke a doob [23:14] Valium never did it for me :P [23:14] ditto [23:14] damn i did this http://mindboosternoori.blogspot.com/2010/03/howto-have-wireless-working-on-asus-eee.html and wifi still doesn't work === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] === JanC_ is now known as JanC [23:15] batshwa: no just one of them === [-slidinghorn-] is now known as slidinghorn [23:17] sandking, sorry to be the one to say something but we all have children here and this is a family friendly site so please use darn in replace for damm ok > nothing personal > just respect is all / thanks [23:17] hiexpo: do you think there are children in the channel? [23:18] fabjoa_mwoz, absolutely [23:18] ok ill watch out then [23:18] My 2 yr old grandson likes to climb in my lap and bang the keyboard while im in this channel. :) [23:18] hiexpo, ok, sorry if i've offended someone (actually didn't know if it's a really swear word in english) [23:18] It's a mild one but it counts. ;-) [23:19] im french, i have the tendency to be rather vulgar, hence the expression "pardon my french" so ill watch out :) [23:19] aeon-ltd: all right, i'm onto the readme file now [23:19] Could somone help me with understand this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers - the KRFB section says to create a script, but where do i put it? [23:19] <[thor]> HAHAH === hilem_ is now known as hilem [23:20] SubCool: whats the script suipposed to do? You can proberly put it anywhere in your $PATH [23:20] aeon-ltd: i do not have to touch the existing installation of mandb before proceeding with ./configure and make, do i? [23:20] its supposed to be a python script to initiate KRFB on start up [23:21] dr_willis: "My 2 yr old grandson"? always nice to meet a linux vet [23:21] batshwa: no, just cd into the package and build and install it will replace mandb [23:21] SubCool: if the user needs to run it... anywhere in your $PATh, make a /home/username/bin dir. and put it in there. [23:21] ok i have no way to customize themes... [23:21] we teach children here Linux and use this channel for them so they learn from others :) [23:21] i dont have a "login window" option in my system administration [23:21] what about if i wanted it to start at login? [23:21] my theme says it is not fully able because GTK+ Clear something is not installed? [23:22] Picard, that means that you didn't install the theme correctly If I am correct. [23:22] picard1421: gnome themes can use theme 'engines' to do the work. thats proberly what you need. [23:22] picard1421: and i find that often theemes are useable without the engines they warn about [23:22] hiexpo: did you say you teach children how to use linux? [23:22] do i need to get someting [23:22] my question is how do i install the themes i have no program to physically install them [23:23] Brazzer, yes [23:23] picard1421: does the theme look ok? if so - dont worry about it.. use opacakge maanger and look for other theme engines if you want [23:23] i did a server install [23:23] and di apt-get install gdm [23:23] picard1421: for GNOME 'desktop' theme parts, you drag/drop them onto the appearence window. or extract them into .themes [23:23] im missing the login windows program.. physically [23:23] picard1421: GDM themes are different.. [23:23] yea all i want is GDM themes// [23:23] basically im looking to change my login screen idc about my normal screen [23:23] heyho [23:23] then your mention of a 'theme engine' is illrevant.. thjose are for the desktop. [23:24] yea dont care about that [23:24] hiexpo: well im 13 and im trying to learn how to use the linux terminal and learn how to use linux in more depth i also would love to learn how to program in linux :) [23:24] only care about login screen.. and i dont have a thing that says login window in system > admin [23:24] picard1421: theres some guides out on downgrading to the normal gdm1, i jhave no idea what gdm you are using. [23:24] is there a package i need to install to get that [23:24] picard1421: you could check out the 'epidermis' program. it lets you change gdm2 themes around a little. [23:25] Brazzer, kool thats great [23:25] picard21, go on system settings > login screens [23:25] I am looking for a perl ide for ubuntu. Any recommendations? I know terminal+perl -d is usually what I use but I want to see if there is something more productive [23:25] hiexpa: would you be able to teach me some stuff? [23:25] picard1421: why did you install gdm on a server anyway? why not just use a desktop install to begin with [23:25] Brazzer, depends where youlive ? [23:25] Brazzer: we all ex-rookies here, welcome to linux shell [23:26] There is a problem I have with xchat, when x it, It goes to tray for a brief second and then totally closes..? *I have the option set to tray always on*. Does anyone know the fix to this? [23:26] Dr_Willis, i dont have a .bin or a bin folder in my home/usr/ directory [23:26] Hi all! how to remotely check file-modified-timestamp from files on a webserver?? [23:26] hiexpa: well i live in the U.k in Manchester in a small town called walkden [23:26] in your home? ... [23:27] dir [23:27] Niglop, sure you do it's hidden is all [23:27] SubCool: so.. logically the anaswer is.. MAKE ONE . :) [23:27] Brazzer: If you're looking for community help, #ubuntu-uk might be able to point you towards a resource. [23:27] .bin or bin [23:27] aeon-ltd: there's a lot of reading to be done if i want every step to be absolutely correct -- i think i will skip this reading, what do you think? [23:27] SubCool i said 'bin' earlier. [23:28] 'bin' in the users home dir. gets added to the default PATH if it exists. [23:28] Old skool stuff. :) [23:28] all . folders are hidden [23:28] i wish something would stya the same [23:28] Dr _ Willis i do not need the full ubuntu desktop i only want to change the GDM themes.. is there a folder i can change them out etc..? [23:28] bin has been the 'same' for years. [23:28] GDM is not loging into [23:28] GNome.. [23:29] Dr_Willis, yup === thyri0n is now known as zz_thyri0n [23:29] picard1421: gdm 1 has config files you change. Check the varuious gdm dirs in /etc/ if you are using GDM2 see the epidermis program. [23:29] I dont bend over too far backwards for 'gdm' any more. [23:29] picard1421: so for staters you need to determine which GDM you are using. [23:29] picard1421: there are alternatives to GDM also. [23:29] which i woul do by? [23:29] Bye all.. bbl. [23:30] ttyl [23:30] aeon-ltd: the first error has just occurred: "configure: error: Fatal: no supported database library/header found" [23:31] Hi all! how to remotely read file-properties from files on a webserver?? [23:31] has anyone had nvidia issues after updating to the latest automatic updated kernel in ubuntu 10.04? [23:31] someone run successfully the dolphin emulator in linux? [23:32] NFischer, SSH to the server and ls -al [23:32] KE1HA, no, i dont have ssh-access [23:32] NFischer, or, use a web-bassed file-manager that's on the server. [23:33] So, I'm trying to boot ubuntu, and I am getting the error "ureadahead process killed by KILL signal" Any ideas? [23:33] <[thor]> j_a_v_i_e_r: you mean the kde file manager? [23:33] yo prove a point go into home folder and right click in it and create new folder name it .retard and close folder than reopen it see if you see it > not than reopen home and click view than hidden folders than deleate it :0 [23:33] KE1HA, where are file-properties stored? in the file itself i assume? [23:33] How do you access your web-Server ? [23:34] KE1HA, http [23:34] NFischer: http doesn't expose any of that. [23:34] NFischer, that's for rendering contest, do you not have an Admin Account for the web-site / server [23:35] KE1HA, i do not [23:35] Pici, where are file-properties stored? in the file itself? [23:35] NFischer, How do you get your contest to the web-site, FTP? [23:35] Whoops, content, not contest. [23:36] :) [23:36] NFischer: What are you trying to do? [23:36] KE1HA, it is not mine, its a remote server on which regularly files are uploaded, and i wanted to know, at what time this happens, so i do not have to try several times a day [23:37] \partall [23:37] \exit [23:37] trying to read the fil permission on a web-site, but no SSH access or cPanel equl. [23:37] KE1HA, i only want to know atz waht time its been uplaoded [23:38] NFischer, what tells the site to update ? [23:38] KE1HA, waht? [23:38] NFischer: make the upload process leave an empty file named with the date an hour [23:38] Something tessl the site to get contest. that script or function will determine the frequency. === xcv is now known as DaZ [23:39] SRI, I've got KB issues here, somethign is tellign the site to refresh it's content, that's wehre the timming is comming from. [23:40] NFischer, but that wasn't the original quesiton, it was file permissions, nevertheless, looking at the date time stamp will give you both, but how you acess it is the problem. [23:40] is it that hard to understand?! I do want to know at what time files are created on an remote webserver which is periodically feeded by its administrator.. i only have reading access; and want to know at what time these files are uploaded so i do not have to visit the site over and over again [23:40] http://i.imgur.com/uOM2n.jpg <<< awesome test. what do you guys think? [23:41] what's the shortcut to kill selected app? [23:41] sudo kill [app] or killall [23:41] KE1HA, I meant in visual way [23:41] hi! [23:41] youcan kill the app itself, or the PID [23:42] there;s a little app where you could mark with a mouseclick app to kill === DaZ is now known as c14nadziewacz === mrcan is now known as mrcan[gaming] [23:42] sandking: you may achieve this with xkill [23:42] batshwa: damn, ok mandb is seriously screwed [23:43] batshwa, thx [23:43] aeon-ltd: is there any way to fix it? [23:43] why my power button in the corner turned red? ;] [23:43] sandking: you're welcome [23:43] hi guys [23:44] Whats an EEPROM? [23:44] Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory [23:44] An interesting fact about AUGUST 2010. This August has 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays & 5 Tuesdays, all in 1 month. It happens once in 800 years!!! [23:44] how can I find out which process is eating away a ton of CPU? in console mode [23:45] pradeep: mmmh, nice fact [23:45] dumont install htop [23:45] TOP [23:45] KEIHA: thank you [23:45] dumont: you can try top or htop [23:45] * duffy wishes he still had his Elvis [23:45] <77CAA00FN> how do i disable the LOUD annoying beep that happens if i hit backspace in a field where therses nothing to delete? [23:45] top [23:45] batshwa: i'm not really sure, since apt won't work or compiling as they both require a working mandb this is kinda a infinite loop === 77CAA00FN is now known as arooni-mobile [23:45] 77CAA00FN: in your alert volumes [23:45] Quick question (hopefully). I installed NTP--and it's working.. but I need to change the offset, so instead of devices having to be set to -7, they can be set to 0 and still get the correct local time (not GMT). [23:46] in sound preferences [23:46] aeon-ltd: can't i tell them to skip the part where they require the man database? [23:46] Hey guys! [23:46] yes [23:46] I have a 64 bit system with an intel cpu! [23:46] aeon-ltd: i mean, can't i uninstall the whole man system? [23:46] Should I sintall Ubuntu 64bit or 32x? [23:46] Arte: 64 [23:46] arte: 64. [23:46] 32 off cos [23:46] IMHO [23:46] 64 [23:47] I tried out 32x today. I liked it. Is there any chance that 64x would cause problems? [23:47] 64, don't listen to pradeep [23:47] some libs are harder to install [23:47] but other than that 64 is better [23:47] alrighty...64x it is then [23:47] fabjoa_mwoz, i dont see it in system => pref => sound [23:47] Harder to install, how so? [23:47] Arte, depends, if you dont need the exted instructions, then 32-Bit if fine. [23:47] and it's x32 or x64 ;) [23:47] An_Ony_Moose, pls explain why [23:47] ? [23:47] 64bit architect. is for 64bit apps and 64b CPU [23:47] Arte, flash needs a little work [23:47] intel cpu [23:48] arooni-mobile: mmmh, by any chance, do you use cairo? [23:48] Ah. flash. bleh [23:48] batshwa: i'm not sure i've never encountered a problem that involves the core of the system like mandb [23:48] fabjoa_mwoz, dont know what that is [23:48] I'll go with 32bit for now, since I'm only planning on using Ubuntu for web development. [23:48] pradeep, 64-bit ubuntu is native to his CPU so it's a better choice [23:48] 64 bit is the future ;D === masen_away is now known as masen [23:48] ok, do you have a sound icon in one of your panels? [23:48] no processor-intensive stuff [23:48] anyone here know how to reinstall mandb if apt requires a working mandb? [23:48] aeon-ltd: do you think i shouzld format and reinstall the whole system? [23:49] flash64 is available via a ppa, but beware the security flaw [23:49] but most system support but 64 and 32 bits [23:49] duffy: ppa has security flaws? [23:49] Can't I install everything using repositories? [23:49] fabjoa_mwoz, no, the flash does [23:49] batshwa: not just yet i'd wait until tomorrow unless you want a working system now and have backed up everything you need [23:49] duffy: ah, ok [23:49] fabjoa_mwoz, but its still available IF you want it [23:50] aeon-ltd: that's not the case with me [23:50] www.idg.se [23:50] Arte, you'll also find more diver support issues with 64-Bit, particularly with sound and WiFI NIC Cards. [23:50] arte almost everything [23:51] * duffy uses 64bit fine. [23:51] sometimes you want to install something without repo and then you do it - and you got a pleasre [23:52] aeon-ltd: i wonder, can i set the system the way it does not run man(-)db regularly? [23:52] anybody knows how to run scripts early at the bootup process? [23:52] rc.local? [23:52] I need to run a script before fsck [23:52] oh.. [23:53] batshwa: it references it for almost every package related process, i think or at least it seems that way [23:53] I think rc.local is post boot scripts, you'd want them in the rc.d init folder, then put a low number on them for priority. [23:54] aeon-ltd: all right [23:54] batshwa: i'd google anyway just to be sure [23:54] I have tried to run it from rcS.d with S00somescript, it still too late :( [23:55] aeon-ltd: it seems not as easy as to be solved by a complete novice like me [23:55] You can also try using the Boot-Manager for your requirments. [23:55] aeon-ltd: i will do so tomorrow [23:55] how do i disable loud visual beep ? uubntu 10.04 [23:55] rathka81, you dont fsck that much, so why bother [23:55] AKA = BUM :-) [23:57] my fan is defect and don't run unless I force it from a script, system sometimes overheat during fsck of home partition [23:58] the CPU fan is defunked ? You need to find the real reason for that issue, else, you may not have a box to work with. [23:59] is there a way to turn off the annoying sound that 10.04 ubuntu makes when i try to delete text in a field (in any app) where theres nothing left to delete?
