Jordan_USonderblade: Use pasuspender.00:50
PiciGeorge_e: #ubuntu-packaging00:50
SonderbladeJordan_U: how?00:50
Dr_Willis!find pasuspender00:50
katheilovefairuz and Dr_Willis it's a laptop so i reseated the drive to verify, i also did the hard drive diagnostics and it passed, don't have a live cd right now00:50
ubottuFile pasuspender found in pulseaudio-utils, pulseaudio-utils-dbg00:50
picard1421super quick question...If i stick in my USB thumdrive and choose that on install00:50
picard1421as the main HD.. will it install normally and work as a HD or do i need to do stuff to make it bootable00:51
picard1421basically put in my Ubuntu disk into my computer.. and install it to the Flashdrive or do i need to do things to the drive before i dod thatt?00:51
Dr_Williskathe:  whats the cpu load that htop is saying?00:51
Jordan_USonderblade: "pasuspender foo" will suspend pulseaudio, run the command foo, and resume pulseaudio when the command foo exits.00:51
Dr_WillisYou can install to a flash drive picard1421  however on the LAST 'dialog' of the install. therens an 'advanced' button. You NEED to tell it to install grub to the flash drive. or else it may default to the internal hard drive.00:52
ilovefairuzkathe: you can't reinstall grub without a livecd, except if you have another bootable OS00:52
katheDr_Willis um can i get htop in recovery mode, because past that, can't see squat00:52
Jordan_USonderblade: Why do you need to suspend pulseaudio?00:52
Dr_Willispicard1421:  if you dont do that. then the flash drive may not be bootable00:52
picard1421ok THanks Dr-WILLIS00:52
katheilovefairuz, so i am likely going to need to reinstall grub00:52
aeon-ltdkathe: why no just use regular 'top'00:52
Condoulook, I replaced the drive I had GRUB installed on. =/ sooo.... how exactly would I reinstall GRUB?00:52
Dr_Williskathe:  htop is a console/terminal app. it should work find in  recovery console00:52

ubottuCondoulo: 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/Grub200:52
SonderbladeJordan_U: the program wants to write to /dev/dsp00:52
ilovefairuzkathe: it seems so, yes00:53
Jordan_USonderblade: Then use "padsp foo"00:53
Dr_Williskathe:  i may be getting questions and people confused again. :)00:53
greglis anyone using ssh to access a win 7 machine?If so what package's  are you using an a guide if one is available..00:53
Jordan_USonderblade: Pulseaudio has OSS compatability.00:53
aeon-ltdgregl: look up cygwin00:53
Dr_Willisgregl:  You have a ssh server for windows?00:53
greglaeon thanks00:54
aeon-ltdgregl: or regular ssh if you meant th other way round00:54
katheilovefairuz i'll be back with a live cd00:54
Jordan_Ukathe: I don't think that your problem is at all grub related.00:54
SonderbladeJordan_U: well it says device /dev/dsp is busy which i know is pulseaudios fault00:54

ace241red yellow blue and green white black...... light blue??01:50
ace241well whats an emulator that doesnt use opengl01:51
macoAlazare: you can put noauto in fstab so it doesnt try to mount at boot and then make yourself a button that calls "gksudo mount /dev/foo" to mount it when its present....01:51
ace241or one that will work on old linux01:51
Dr_WillisAlazare:  as a dirty work around. you could put some commands in rc.local to mount them. if they fail. they will just print out an error.. not hang the whole os.01:51
macoace241: how are you going to see the game if you dont have a graphics card?01:51
ace241dude, i have it working01:51

tom_but the 32 bit wont even boot on my machine02:32

TheRufushow can I tell what ubuntu i'm running?02:32
SeppozUsing dash as /bin/sh causes various subtle build problems, please use bash instead.02:32
tensorpuddingTheRufus: lsb_release -a in a terminal02:32
dexiI have a theme ready to go in Emerald, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to take affect02:32
Seppozhow can i make sure the shell isnt linked as bash02:32
mrpoundsignor cat /etc/issue02:32
Dr_WillisSeppoz:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure sh   (i think)02:33
mrpoundsign@TheRufus02:33
tensorpuddingSeppoz: I believe when you call bash as sh it tries to emulate sh02:33
RandyRKellyInstalled Linux mint02:33
tensorpuddingbut in any case, if a script designed for sh can't use dash, it is probably violating POSIX02:33
tensorpuddingand should be called using bash explicitly02:33

khalidmianst ran updates deconf on ubuntu asking me if i want to continue without installing grub. P.S: I installed ubuntu using Wubi..pls advise02:34
tensorpuddingSeppoz: Change the #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash02:35
tensorpuddingin the script02:35
tensorpuddingwhy do you think it doesn't work with dash anyway?02:36

excess^I'm having a problem with Remote Desktop and TightVNC Viewer. When I connect to my desktop I cant interact with my desktop even though I have "Allow users to control your desktop" checked in my Remote Desktop Preferences.02:36
PiciSeppoz: no. sh is linked to dash.02:37
tensorpuddingthe symlink of /bin/sh to dash is done by dash02:37
tensorpuddingyou can rm /bin/sh, then ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh02:37
Dr_Willistensorpudding:  bad programing on their part from what ive seen with bash/dash isshds02:37
tensorpuddingthis is a dumb idea and you should not do it02:37
Seppozty02:37
khalidmianI just installed ubuntu and ran updates. Something called deconf on ubuntu asking me if i want to continue without installing grub. P.S: I installed ubuntu using Wubi..pls advise02:37
tensorpuddingjust change the shebang02:37
Dr_Willistensorpudding:  that 'dpkg-reconfigure' or update alternatives is the proper way to change the default system shell from dash to bash02:37
Dr_Willistensorpudding:  ive seen some scripts also call 'sh  wjhatever' later in the script THAT can also cause issues02:38
Seppozso02:38
Seppozwhat do i do now?02:38
Dr_WillisSeppoz:  check out the 'update-alternatives' system you could set it that way also02:38

texastwisterStrange laptop wireless problem...

Ubuntu 9.10 on Dell Precision M4300 with Intel Pro Wireless02:39
Dr_Willisyou change the alterantive4 for sh to be bash from dash02:39
tensorpuddingDr_Willis: it's still the programmer's fault02:39
Dr_Willistensorpudding:  Yes.. i agree02:40
Dr_Willistensorpudding:  bad programing on theior part02:40
Dr_Willisim not even sure sh is in the 'alternatives' stuff02:40
ubuntufooanyone ever used Scalpel?02:40
Dr_WillisSeppoz:  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash'02:41
tensorpuddingIt seems to be encouraging people to write scripts using bash as #!/bin/sh which are secretly non-portable because they aren't POSIX-compliant02:41
SubCoolCan anyone answer a quick question about VPN? the instructions i am following are instructing me to make the BOX's IP the VPN Server IP. I thought i could have a local network addy and a VPN addy.02:41
Dr_Willistensorpudding:  the isssue for years has been that 'bash' called as 'sh' has not been flagging a error/warning when people use non-sh 'features'02:42
Dr_Willistensorpudding:  many years of bad habbits.. that came to light when ubuntu decided to use dash instead of bash for sh a few years back. and there was MUCH flamfesting going on about it back then02:42
texastwisterIs there another channel better to ask about wireless configuration in?02:43

DanDaretensorpudding why ?02:46
dexier... uh oh... In terminal i typed "emerald --replace" after closing the terminal I now have no toolbar at all. how do i set it back to gtk?02:46
tensorpuddingBecause you need the GNU tools to actually use the things.02:46
DanDareits vague for me02:46
tensorpuddingFor example, the vast majority of Makefiles seem to require GNU make02:47
tensorpuddinglots of scripts that are otherwise portable that break because they call a command using GNU-only options02:47

shadowdexi: http://ubuntologia.ru/images/stories/ubuntu/the-way/compiz-fusion/emerald/command-before.png02:49

cvdtmsSometimes it's completely frozen and other times I can hit my power button and the shutdown menu comes up and counts down to shutdown03:45
khalidmianhttp://imagebin.org/108030 any help wit this?03:45
matrixblueubuntu__: Try running sudo03:45
jebblueMarc01 do you have a backup? I use rsync, so Ijust copy from my backup medium back. in this case I guess you could just renew the tree you chown'ed otherwise the whole disk03:45
matrixblueubuntu__: Try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure firefox03:45
Marc01I don't have a backup sadly.03:46
IdleOnekhalidmian: sudo nvidia-xconfig03:46
jebblueMarc01 otw you could ask a friend and check the permissions on the tree you chown'ed and change the owner back, or the permissions back03:46
ubuntu__matrixblue: I ran the dpkg-reconfigure command on firefox and nothing happened.  the command completed successfully I suppose....03:46

magicstuffI tried a dual boot today with ubuntu lucid and win7..win7 installed first...when I boot the computer up I get a "no module name found Aborted"03:48
jebblueMarc01 well you're on the right track except you should have had a backup but I'd keep on that track, do a ls -l on the good system then on the bad one and check where threre are differences, or reinstall, but leave home intact03:48
vIpêòîíèòü ïî ðóñêèè ãîâîðèò03:48
arrrghhhmagicstuff, that's right after the lucid install?   do you see grub at all?03:49
ubuntu__matrixblue, bstutes: tried both, I attempted a remove and a purge to no avail.  Same error03:49
jebblueMarc01 did you do  /dev yet?03:49
matrixblueubuntu__: then do sudo apt-get autoremove then sudo apt-get clean after this try the dist-upgrade again03:49
magicstuffI did see it for a second..03:49
Marc01Yes /dev seems to be correct03:49
magicstuffloaded into win7 to test..shut down...then blammo, no grub menu03:49
sharrisI installed ubuntu on my Alienware Area-51m laptop and it keeps freezing randomly, so I installed ubuntu studio and does the same, can somebody tell me how to boot the command line so I can read the log, it freezes too fast for me to even login :(03:49
jebblueMarc01 have you rebooted the hosed system?03:49
Marc01Yeah03:49
arrrghhhmagicstuff, that's inconsistent...03:49
Marc01It seems as though dbus has issue03:50
ubuntu__matrixblue: I think that did it... we will see03:50
Marc01has issues*03:50
jebblueok well proceed with the ls -l  comparison is all I can suggest at this pint03:50
Marc01dang03:50
Marc01I was hoping for something less tedious03:50
magicstuffarrrghhh: I'm not that good with this stuff...just need help to get this dual boot working03:50
Marc01That'll teach me to be liberal with root and chown03:50
bstutessharrris: add the word "single" to the end of vmlinux command line03:50
arrrghhhmagicstuff, did you do some reading before you setup the dual boot?03:51
jebblueMarc01 :)03:51
magicstuffI did a little bit..03:51
sharrisCan somebody please help me?03:51
arrrghhh!ask | sharris03:51
ubottusharris: 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. :-)03:51
magicstuffI asked in here...I actually tried to have someone manually walk me through it..as I didn't want to screw anything up03:51
rjune_arrrghhh, he did ask.03:51
rjune_scroll up.03:51
jebblueMarc01 maybe someone else has a better solution. that's all i can come up with tonight, those are powerful commands, like editng the registry on doze03:51
Marc01Haha, I'm in a hotel on the road and the connection sucks otherwise I'd just reinstall lucid lynx real quick03:51
bstutessharris: add the word "single" to the end of vmlinux command line03:51
Marc01Yeah, I know better, just tired and bad mistake03:52
magicstuffit seems like this error has happened a few times before with people..something about windows re-writing the mbr03:52
arrrghhhrjune_, either way he may need to be more patient03:52
rjune_sharris, When the grub screen comes up, you need to boot single user,03:52
shadowsmagicstuff: follow my pm link - after that livecd and recover grub in ubuntu03:52
rjune_arrrghhh, that's valid. but not your first response.03:52
arrrghhhmagicstuff, did windows "fix" anything?03:52
MBG1987Can some body answer my question here? http://bit.ly/cjrGN203:52
sharrisSorry, I'm a Linux noob lol can youexplain how to do that?03:52
arrrghhhmagicstuff, i forgot what it's called... windows restore or something.03:52
rjune_sharris, http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub  <-- that may be helpful.03:52
magicstuffarrrghhh: there were two updates it had to finish methinks03:52
shadowsmagicstuff: yes but it is offtopic03:53
arrrghhhmagicstuff, well updates *shouldn't* break it...03:53
rjune_magicstuff, you need to rewrite the mbr in windows?03:53
sharrisOk thx :)03:53
Marc01Just had a good idea, I'm going to use find03:53
magicstuffrjune_: not sure..just wanna get this damn dual boot working03:53
rjune_Generally it's install windows, install linux, done.03:53
Marc01"find / -user <name> >>a.out" Checking for files that the user shouldn't own03:53
MBG1987Can some body answer my question here: http://bit.ly/cjrGN203:53
arrrghhhmagicstuff, either way, if you don't see grub you'll need to reinstall it.  grab that livecd and boot from it.03:53
jebblueMarc01 there you go sounds solid03:54
magicstuffarrrghhh: whats the chance that I'll have to do this more than once?03:54
arrrghhhmagicstuff, i've never had to redo this on a proper install.  i have several win7 & lucid machines doin just fine.03:54
jebblueMarc01 you know they make these small drives for travelers, you could use one as a back...oops ;-)03:54
kisukethe grub boot loader is saved in the MBR of /dev/sda right?03:54
magicstuffthen I should try to just do a proper install, no?03:55
matrixbluekisuke: Normally, yes03:55
* gewt lol03:55
arrrghhhmagicstuff, well we need to figure out what is wrong.  did you say you saw a grub prompt or not?03:55
magicstuffis that the one with linux, memtest, etc?03:55
kisukematrixblue: even when the main os is stored on /dev/sdb?03:55
shadowsmagicstuff: if only problem in mbr and grub - no03:56
arrrghhhmagicstuff, yes.  if you installed win7 first & lucid second, you shouldn't have an issue & it *should* have created a link to win703:56
Marc01hahaha very funny ;-)03:56
magicstuffwin7 was installed first..installed ubuntu afterwards03:56
arrrghhhmagicstuff, ok so do you see grub when the system boots?  what are the entries?  what works, what doesn't?03:57
matrixbluekisuke: it depends on how the disks were at the installation and which options were set. You can install Grub to any disk you want with a live cd rather easily though03:57
asarchHow can I avoid blank screen in console?03:57
freddygmezhola03:57
arrrghhhmagicstuff, if you're not seeing grub, we'll need to reinstall it basically.  you don't need to 'redo' the whole OS, just the bootloader/mbr which can be done from the livecd.03:57
magicstuffarrrghhh: nothing shows now...I only see "no modules found"03:57
shadowsmagicstuff: anyway you need a DVD with windoz to repair mbr03:57
Marc01I made it especially bad because I used root:root03:57
kisukematrixblue: i just left it at the defaut values, with the exception of installing to /dev/sdb03:58
Marc01so the groups are &#(!ed too03:58
arrrghhhmagicstuff, so you reboot the machine and what does it do before that.03:58
magicstuffnothing...03:58
magicstuffjust sees that error03:58
arrrghhhmagicstuff, sometimes it flies by in 3 seconds, and you have to hit esc03:58
arrrghhhmagicstuff, that's the FIRST thing you see when the computer boots?03:58
matrixbluekisuke: So I'm guessing you want to find out where the bootloader is?03:58
Jordan_Umagicstuff: Hold shift during boot to get to the grub menu.03:58
arrrghhhah didn't know that trick.  thanks Jordan_U03:59
Jordan_Uarrrghhh: You're welcome.03:59
kisukematrixblue: im tring to figure out if i need to mess wiht my BIOS, /dev/sdb went in first, and is the one i want to use for OS03:59
magicstuffjordan_u: tried that... "grub loading...no module name found...aborted"03:59
=== hdon_ is now known as hdon

shadowsmagicstuff:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=134385103:59
matrixbluekisuke: What is sda used for?04:00
jebblueMarc01 i messed up the chown command once, I tried to fix things manually, it sounds like you made it further, I gave up and restored from ... saved my bacon and my sanity, on doze I used a great tool from Acronis but on Ubuntu I use rsync, my own small rsync script - there are also supposed to be some good backup tools but I prefer my script, short, sweet and solid04:00
arrrghhhmagicstuff, do you have a dell or hp laptop?04:01
Marc01I think from now on I will backup lol04:01
magicstuffarrrghhh: look at the link that shadows: just posted..sounds like a problem with dell04:01
magicstuffdell laptop..think its the dell datasafe program04:01
kisukematrixblue: heree a bhasic time line for you, PC gets built, 200 gig hardrive gets full, add a 1.5 terabyte hdd, *nix maps it as /dev/sda for no reason i can figure.04:01
arrrghhhmagicstuff, indeed.  you need to remove it.04:01
magicstuffto remove it I need to get into my win7 machine, right?04:01
arrrghhhmagicstuff, yes.04:01
magicstuffis it possible to use my livecd to fix something just so I can get into win7, and then remove dell datasafe stuff?04:02
patcitohi04:02
matrixbluekisuke: It gets mapped that way because of which Sata controller you have it plugged into04:02
patcitois it possible to move a launcher I create on my desktop to the gnome panel?04:02
arrrghhhmagicstuff, that's exactly what you're going to have to do.04:02
kisukematrixblue: figured that much, bios has been set to boot from /dev/sdb though, so i just nee to switch04:03
matrixbluekisuke: sda is the first one it detects04:03

Wolfwalker_PrimeI need a way to access an internal hard drive via USB.  I want an enclosure (because they seem more reliable than hdd-usb adapters in general) but I want something that will work with both 2.5 and 3.5 drives.04:06
Wolfwalker_PrimeAre 2.5 and 3.5 IDE drives the same as far as connection points?04:06
Wolfwalker_PrimeDitto for SATA 2.5 and 3.5.  Are the connections the same?  In other words, could I mount a 2.5 drive in a 3.5 enclosure?04:06
matrixblueWolfwalker_Prime: No04:06
Jordan_Umagicstuff: Unfortunately removing Dell "DataSafe" will likely clobber grub one last time so you'll have to restore grub twice. Please complain to Dell about this as it's IMHO completely unnacceptable for a backup program to cause your computer to fail to boot.04:06

matrixbluekisuke: It wasn't grammar or anything. Just wasn't sure what you meant exactly. Does it boot as is right now?04:11
dexiIf i type "emerald --replace &" into terminal it just replies "10300"04:11
Jordan_U!emerald | dexi04:12
ubottudexi: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives.04:12
dexiJordan_U, ok04:12
magicstuff  also, when I installed ubuntu should I have used ext3 or ext4?04:12
dexiJordan_U, more importantly -Compiz- is not working at all04:12
dexithe commands are all set, and enabled, but none of them function04:12
kisukematrixblue: no, because it tries to go to a nonexitant windows install. probably go away if i switch boot order in BIOS settinggs now that i think about it.04:12
matrixbluekisuke: I agree04:13
kisukematrixblue: kk thanksa04:13
arrrghhhmagicstuff, the differences to you won't be great.  but ext4 is fine... i've seen a few people run into bugs with nfs and the like, but i haven't had any issues yet.04:13

RealOptyhow do i reinstall the bootloader grub?04:43
ZykoticK9dexi, to launch on startup - system / preferences / Startup applications -- but no way i know of to determine virtual desktop sorry.04:43
dexinphase, it used to not be, but so far it seems fine to me (as of 10.04)04:43
nphasedexi: aha. cool, thanks04:43
RealOptyi just installed ubuntu and i dont think that it installed the bootload onto the correct drive...04:43
texastwisternphase: probably mostly a legacy recommendation from when 64-bit was a little buggy with spotty driver support, etc.04:43
nphasetexastwister: sure04:43
texastwisternphase: I've been on 64 bit only for over a year with no complaints04:43
ZykoticK9nphase, in my opinion it's a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/58594004:43

ZykoticK9dexi, what are you trying to run?04:47
dexiGwibber04:47
dexichrome04:47
dexipossibly xchat, and banshee, but those are secondary04:47
ZykoticK9dexi, use the "which" command like, "which gwibber" or "which google-chrome"? or "which chromium-browser" to find full paths to stuff.04:48
econdudeawesomeHowdy! What is required for chmod -x to work? I tried running it with wildcards "chmod -x filename{0,1,2,3,4}" to batch change the files, but didn't seem to work04:48

Patrickdkchmod a-x filename*04:48
econdudeawesomePatrickdk is that what's missing?04:49
econdudeawesomewhat is chmod -x then?04:49
ZykoticK9econdudeawesome, Patrickdk's command is correct, just be aware that "a-x" is All or Everyone - executable04:49

Patrickdkyes04:51
ZykoticK9econdudeawesome, yes, if root owns it04:51
ZykoticK9econdudeawesome, is this a file or a directory BTW?04:51
econdudeawesomeZykoticK9 I'm attempting to apply it to files... is this only for directories?04:51
ZykoticK9econdudeawesome, just be aware that if it's a directory that executable mean you can enter the directory (kinda important)04:52

tesujihi - i am trying to make ubuntu on a usb stick and i need to actually install on the stick (as a real system, not as a livecd).  trouble is, it doesn't boot...  i have tried every trick with grub i can think of and it still won't boot.  however system created with usb-creator does boot.  any clues or suggestions?04:55
Niglopdoes anybody know a small but easy 'microsoft paint like program' for ubuntu?04:55
econdudeawesomeZykoticK9: never mind, makes sense :-)04:55

ubottutesuji: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent04:56
ZykoticK9tesuji, to "truely" install onto USB, one of the last options during install is to customize GRUB, and you need to point it manually to the USB drive (it will point to HD by default)04:56
tesujiNiglop, that's "applications"->"ubunto software centre"04:56

F2KnightArtel, First things first. Decide on if your using OSE or the "normal" version05:35

kisukemagicstuff: and the contents of the file should be (with out the quotes): "options b43 pio=1 qos=0"05:37
F2KnightArtel, when a kernal update is done you are required to run the vboxdrv setup, it recompiles the kernel, if you do not have the CURRENT headers installed it will complain about missing stuff. this is a common error on a new install05:37

tesujiilovefairuz, i have created a running system on a stick by installing to the stick.  when it boots, i have to interrupt the boot and feed it a video option or i will boot to a blank screen.  which is what just happened and the only thing i could was power cycle which destroyed the stick.  now i have resinstall from scratch.  so it would help a lot if i knew how to stop the boot properly05:43

Yadiradevede05:45
F2KnightArtel, looks like you have the OSE installed05:45
kisukemagicstuff: open up synaptic and search for compat wireless05:45
tesujiilovefairuz, and the reason why i have to do that is ubuntu does not autodetect intel video :( :( :(05:45
whompapotamustesuji: Edit your grub menu.lst and add "VGA=733" to the end of your kernel line05:45
ArtelF2Knight: But I just uninstalled it from the software center.05:46
vishalRealOpty, Applications -> Other -> Metacity05:46
tesujiwhompapotamus, i MUST interrupt the boot process or it will never get booted!  please tell me how to interrupt the boot05:46
magicstuffkisuke...couldn't find compat wireless05:46

RealOptyvishal, its not there ;p05:47
kisukemagicstuff: one sec and i will get the ppa,05:47
F2KnightArtel, Linux / apt is kinda odd,  doing an apt-get remove will remove the program but leave the config files behind, doing a apt-get purge will delete the program and its config files.05:47
RealOptyand when i run it from the cmmand line it says that somethings in use'05:47

ArtelF2Knight, It works! Thank you!!05:58
F2KnightArtel, NP Glad to help05:58

Then I installed from source using the very very latest SVN, worked fine - un06:05

WiesshundActionParsnip it may not be, but since ubuntu is shipping compiz stock in 10.04, well ya know youd think it would play nice06:41
tesujiActionParsnip, synaptic does list the kernel-source file for it, but when you go to install there are missing deps - basically, you either gotta have a wired connect or you have to figure out how to satisfy the deps manually and copy all those files to portable media - which means a wired wonnction.... :(06:41

tucemiuxtenochslb, that's what I figured, if you want to install puppy on a hard drive -- say a frugal installation with minimum compoenents you need to acquire space on the hard drive07:26

Sc00t3rtesuji, Are you running off Live CD right now? You have to specify the HDD when you are on a LiveCD.07:33
Sc00t3rtesuji, Or, you could try the install-grub from the LiveCD. I can't remember the full command though, you'd have to look that one up on google.07:34

CocoabeanHello, I have a desktop computer with 2 IDE drives. The first one, Primary Master on my IDE bus, shows up as /dev/sda and has a Debian sid install. I have a second drive, Secondary Master, /dev/sdb, for a Windows XP installation. I recently installed Ubuntu on the drive with Windows XP, letting the installer do the resizing. I have grub installed on /dev/sda to boot Debian sid by default, but since installing Ubuntu my machine boots from 07:49
CocoabeanSecondary Master and uses Ubuntu's grub config. I have no options in the bios, so I renamed /boot/grub on /dev/sdb hoping it would boot from the primary master like it used to, but it doesn't. What can I do to make my Primary Master boot first?07:49
kisukeTiK, whats aux again?07:49
TiKkisuke: lists al running programs07:49
kisukeCocoabean, gointo your bios and make sure you are set to boot first from the master.07:49

pkkmtaulus, I've got a GIGABYTE motherboard and everything works fine09:04
Iledenpkkm: what happened to it?09:04
YankDownUnderSeppoz, why not cd to the location, rename the file the link refers to, then try to delete the link from that directory...?09:04
tesujifolks can someone help me with apt-get - what i want is to force it to download but not install a package that is already at the latest version.  i think it would be "apt-get -d --reinstall" does that sound about right?09:04
tauluspkkm Which one?09:04
mementomorilittlepenguin, but it's for karmic!!! I need it for lucid...09:05
pkkmIleden, it was broken during an update09:05
PythonPuppkkm, Some people put the home directory on a separate disk partition.  If you did that, it is fairly straight-forward to keep your old /home.  Did you do that?09:05
tesujitaulus, the broadcom drivers and it's a long story, i just need to know how to do this09:05
hateballtesuji: just apt-get -d should do it09:05
pkkmPythonPup, no, one partition for everything09:05

pkkmtaulus, EP45-DS3L09:06
tesujihateball, no, then it takes the packagename as an option09:06
taulusThanks pkkm thats two now :)09:06
tesujimagicstuff, i gotta get some help how to do this09:06
littlepenguinmementomori you could try ..sometimes karmic packages work fine09:07
PythonPupOK, then your only option is to backup that directory before you reinstall and restore it afterwards.  Have you checked to see how big that directory is?  If not, open a terminal shell.  Cd to /home and type du -h09:07
magicstuffok take your time...I'm gonna clean up before my gf cntrl-alt-deletes me ;)09:07

IledenMinas: Mostly it's: Insert ubuntu cd. Boot computer. Click on "install"...09:08
classicalhello ppl i wonder is there any security issue if a run crontab on server wit root permissions ? :-)09:08
YankDownUndertesuji, So have you TRIED that option with apt-get yet?09:08
tesujiYankDownUnder, by my understanding of the man page that should do it but it doesn't work09:08
classicalhello ppl i wonder is there any security issue if a run crontab on server with a root permissions ? :-)09:09

adamramadhanhello09:09
PythonPuppkkm, do you have a USB drive large enough to backup that data?  Or, another computer on your network?09:09
* YankDownUnder thinks Ninjas abound09:10
Iledenpkkm: What I would do is back that up with a live cd to another disk, then try reinstalling and looking around the reinstall process if it asks if you want to keep your existing home directory. If not, just reinstall, and restore /home from the backup over it. (Not optimal answer by far, I know.)09:10
tesujiYankDownUnder, the package contains drivers for a wifi - if i remove it, will it kill the wifi?09:10
KhannzHello! Can you tell me, guys, what services for MySQL should be started during boot? watching my runlevels I found only mysql-ndb and mysql-ndb-mgm but no mysql. is it OK for 10.04 ???09:11
YankDownUndertesuji, Can't you plug into ethernet whilst you do this?09:11
tesujiYankDownUnder, no09:11
magicstuffyankdownunder: nope, I don't have connection to a wired connection09:11
pkkmPythonPup, Ileden, Thanks,I'll reinstall now.09:11
tesujiYankDownUnder, i am helping someone else who has been wrestling with it for hours and i figgered out a way but the deb has to be downloaded09:11
soreautesuji: Removing driver packages shouldnt unload the driver from memory09:11
Iledenpkkm: ok. I do hope it works! No guarantee, though, but nothing you can mess up either, if you have all the data backed up. :)09:12
YankDownUndertesuji, See above09:12
tesujimagicstuff, are you there?09:12
soreautesuji: AFAIK, the driver should still work until you unload it or reboot09:12
YankDownUndertesuji, What's the driver?09:12
tesujiYankDownUnder, the broadcom stuff09:12
PythonPuppkkm, I would probably backup everything.  Depending on what problem you have with the system, I might recommend you don't restore any of the directories starting with .09:12

tesujiYankDownUnder, i have not a clue what you are on about09:13
magicstuffyes I am tesuji:09:13
tesujimagic, start up synaptic09:14
magicstuffok09:14
magicstufflivecd or the real thing?09:14
YankDownUndertesuji, a lot of times, in order to get the broadcom drivers working properly, you have to uncomment the driver in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file, reboot, connect, then use the "Hardware Drivers" to find a more suitable driver - doesn't make sense, but it works most of the time.09:14
Iledenclassical: People most probably aren't ignoring you, only they aren't confident enough to provide an answer. No need for sadfaces :)09:14
soreau! cron | classical09:14

tesujimagicstuff, hang on09:15
adamramadhanis there a gui or something that can change ico to svg atau png for icon usage09:15
soreauclassical: AFAIK, cron is run on a per-user basis, including the root user. So root programs should be in root crontab and user programs in user crontab09:15
adamramadhansomehow ubuntu cant read ico files09:15
=== JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz
tesujimagicstuff, i am gonna try this on my own system before i tell you to do it :)  i am having similar probs but fortunately i have a hardwire09:16
adamramadhanor maybe converting ico to png or svg ?09:16
KhannzGuys, what services for MySQL should be started during boot? watching my runlevels I found only mysql-ndb and mysql-ndb-mgm but no mysql. is it OK for 10.04 ???09:16
magicstuffok thanks a ton!09:16
PythonPupclassical, running crontab as root will setup the cron jobs for the root user.  That is not recommended for most things, but by no means unheard of.  It depends on what you are trying to do.09:16
YankDownUnderadamramadhan, Um...have you tried GIMP yet?09:16
adamramadhannope09:16
adamramadhancan i use it for mass convert a ico folder ?09:16
YankDownUnderadamramadhan, Um...have you read the dox for GIMP yet?09:17
adamramadhani want to use .ico for icons . :)09:17
adamramadhannope09:17
adamramadhanor a converter is ok .09:17
jukebox-zeroDoes anyone know if there's a way to require a key combination like ctrl+alt+delete at startup/login on 10.04? All google can find for me is how to re-enable restarting the xserver with it.09:17
Iledenclassical: from what I know, it should be run as the user that you want to be executing the task. If you're doing root tasks, then root is the right user. If not, maybe not.09:17
classicalIleden, soreau ubottu thx you guys :-)  but If i run a some script wit root is there any secure  vulnerability ?  :-)09:17
YankDownUnderadamramadhan, You should think about checking out www.gnome-look.org to see if someone's already converted the icon package(s) you desire...easier than doing it yourself...09:17
Iledenclassical: depends on the script, of course. Yes, it's a vulnerability. But a perfectly secure system is one that isn't powered up at all...09:18
spookyadamramadhan: Use Imagemagick, command-line: convert image.ico image.png09:18
YankDownUnderjukebox-zero, Um...linux, which is based on unix - usually requires merely a username and a password...CTRL-ALT-DEL is a key combo that Microsoft initiated...09:18
classicalIleden, Okay thank you :-)09:19
jukebox-zeroYankDownUnder, Yes, I realize it doesn't serve any linux purpose. I'm intentionally trying to make my system more of a pain in the ass so friends will stop asking to use my internet. Somehow, I don't think they'll buy it if I say the only browser I have is elinks.09:20
tensorpuddingThis is not to say that, on occasion, Ubuntu has chosen to emulate some behaviors of Windows.09:20
adamramadhanspooky: is there a gui for it ?09:20
Iledenclassical: Just think of it in the way that that script can then do whatever it pleases with your system. And if someone gets to modify that script, he can then do anything with the system. Or if that scripts ask initiates some other process, that process (or anything that has managed to modify it) can do whatever they want with your system.09:20
YankDownUnderjukebox-zero, Hehehehehehehe....coolbeans....09:20
Kartagiswhat environment variable do we need to set in order to change the general language? LANG?09:20
tensorpuddingLANG controls the locale09:20
YankDownUnderjukebox-zero, What about forcing yer system to boot to a cli login...that's scary...09:20
spookyadamramadhan: Using a GUI seems like taking a long road to a short destination...why not just do it from the terminal?09:21
rousinghi09:21
soreauclassical: You should recognize what commands should be run as user and which to be run as root. Rule of thumb is, you should always know why you need to run a command with superuser privileges before running it. Otherwise, always use user09:21
adamramadhanspooky: then how do i convert a hole folder of .ico to png ?09:21
rousingI'm looking for all OS where sudo is used, anyone have an idea ?09:21
Iledenrousing: "all OS"?09:21
soreauclassical: In addition to security issues, running user commands as root can potentially cause permissions issues09:22
bazhangrousing, including your home ?09:22
jukebox-zeroYankDownUnder, I'm all ears. I've never done any such thing though. Can you give me a brief description of what that's like? I'm sure google-foo can tell me how to implement it.09:22
YankDownUnderjukebox-zero, Hang on a tick...09:22
rousingbazhang: what distros are using sudo09:22
bazhangrousing, this is Ubuntu support. Ubuntu uses sudo09:22
rousingIleden: all linux distro09:22
tensorpuddingPretty sure sudo has been available on several Unices, and several Linux distributions09:22
spookyadamramadhan: someone already figured this out, http://superuser.com/questions/71028/batch-converting-png-to-jpg-in-linux09:22
Iledenrousing: and what exactly do you mean by "sudo"? most operating systems have a concept of temporarily elevating rights by providing admin credentials to access restricted resources.09:22
tensorpuddingOSX has sudo doesn't it?09:23
bazhangrousing, if you are polling, then please don't09:23
spookyjust dont use .jpg, use .ico and .png in the snippet09:23
Iledenrousing: ah, ok. you mean the "sudo" command itself and linux distros. Thing is, there are a gazillion of linux distros...09:23
classicalIleden, soreau Yep :-)   but if i need a root privilege to run scripts ? there are some scripts which does not run with simple user :-)09:23
tensorpuddingsu is probably specified in some Unix specification, maybe POSIX09:23
rousingIleden: i meant that yes09:24

=== stix_ is now known as stix
rousingbazhang: seriously :) ?09:25
bazhangrousing, yes09:25
Iledenclassical: well there are two approaches. Give the user that should run the script enough privlidges to run it, or let root run the script. Well, there's a third option too, to lower the required rights of the system the script uses, so any user gets to run it, but that's not a good idea.09:25
jukebox-zeroYankDownUnder, nod nod. Good call.09:25
rousingbazhang: i have a lot, and i doubt youi can help in any09:26

bazhangFattyTheDork, any current ubuntu support issues? if not then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks09:31
YankDownUnderIleden, Firstly, upgrading usually sucks. Secondly, a way of doing the xorg reset is to literally delete (or rename) the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Thirdly, you may have old crap in your ~/.config and ~/.cache and ~/.local that are dragging Gnome down (assuming you're running Gnome)09:31
YankDownUndermagicstuff, Are you using the BCM43 driver at the moment?09:31

IledenYankDownUnder: did xorg reset exactly like that. yup running gnome. the old crap sounds like a viable cause... how do I detect it?09:33

tesujiYankDownUnder, i followed directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx and installed the bcmwl-kernelsource package09:35
YankDownUnderIleden, I'd go through the stuff manually - get rid of crap that doesn't jive - gconf, the guts of Gnome, freaks and frogs on some of the outdated stuff - and in that case, you can even literally go so far as to rename the ~/.config and logout, login and just re-customise Gnome (and some other apps) again...have done this with a high level of success...have also gone so far as to create a new user, and just copy stuff over f09:35
YankDownUnderrom the old user to a new dir09:35
PythonPupandy__, When that happens, see how long it has been up?  Maybe the power went out overnight.09:36

tesujiYankDownUnder, do i need to reboot after i do that?09:43
classicalIleden, then sudo -e must be  opened with vi09:43
nexus6__ok i will try that09:43
Iledenclassical: and sudo doesn't run the command as root, but with root privlidges (as far as I understand), so it still uses the user's designated editor config, while sudo su enters actual root mode, using the root's config.09:43
PythonPupclassical, typing nano sudo crontab -e is weird.  Don't do that.09:43
YankDownUndertesuji, Yep...09:43
soreauclassical: For example, to use gedit as your test editor, run: VISUAL=gedit crontab -e09:44
tesujiYankDownUnder, there's nothing in syslog about drivers not found since i installed the bcmwl-kernel-source - before that there were tons of errors09:44
zcat[1]nexus6__:  or you can go to the sound control panel and make it the default device and everything will use it, but usually you only want to redirect one program, like skype...09:44

YankDownUndertesuji, IF the kernel drivers are installed, then commenting out the broadcom driver in the blacklist.conf might resolve what appears to be a "conflict between drivers" - which would therefore keep the system from properly discovering the driver/card09:45

nexus6__eek i copy paste gnome-volume-control into the left click command09:47
classicalsoreau, haha its opens with gedit09:47
PythonPupclassical, The command starts with nano, and then follows with sudo.  So, it will just edit a file called sudo with nano.  It won't actually edit your cron job list.09:48
nexus6__now i even cant open the normal settings anymore09:48
classicalsoreau, nice :-)09:48
StefanMonovHi. Is there a difference between doing "ifconfig ... up" in /etc/rc.local, and having "auto eth0..." in /etc/network/interfaces?09:48

xerox1agronholm_, PythonPup bug is annoying, there seems to be a problem with alpha-channels when exporting to png e.g.09:49
zcat[1]Is there any way to replicate the feature in windows where you middle-click and the mouse cursor becomes a scroll thing, and you move the mouse up and down to scroll? I've run into someone who wants that feature.. (Ugh!)09:50
PythonPupclassical, That is what you said and it was the only thing I could respond to.  If you have another question, please ask.09:50
littlepenguinnexus xfce-mixer09:50
soreauclassical: Using sudo, you would do something like this: VISUAL=gedit sudo -E crontab -e09:50
Iledenzcat[1]: I want the feature! :)09:50
classicalPythonPup, no i have not yet :-D09:50
YankDownUndertesuji, Have you tried to "rmmod" the loaded driver and see again if it's found?09:50
magicstufftensuij: any luck?09:50
classicalUbuntu has a very nice support an community09:50
zcat[1]Ileden:  I can't stand the feature... it's one of the things that really annoy me any time I have to use a windows machine09:51
classicaland Philosophy of course09:51
agronholm_xerox1, I recall that I exported my images by exporting to svg first and then saving to png from inkscape09:51
Iledenzcat[1]: although the windows implementation is ugly and annoying. the concept is nice, though, and Opera browser has executed it very pleasantly.09:51
PythonPupdia, Inkscape has some of the same capabilities.  I use dia for circuit diagrams and org charts and find it much faster to get a drawing done.  If you are just doing a feature or two, try inkscape.09:51
xerox1agronholm_, thx, will try that09:51
nexus6__ehm well now my sound settings got non accessable because you said i should copy paste the command in there09:52
nexus6__what now?09:52
Iledenzcat[1]: is it a windows, or internet explorer feature, though, I'm not sure?09:52
PythonPupxerox1, I meant that last message for you.09:52
soreauclassical: The amount and quality of support you get largely depends on what you ask and how you ask it, revealing the knowledge you have already09:52
littlepenguinnexus you should have a menu for configuring the soudn hardware somewhere in the menu09:52

MaRk-Izcat[1]: that post also mentions how to edit firefox configuration for middle click09:54
Iledenzcat[1]: although the linux version of opera isn't as nice as windows... but if they like it in IE, there's not much worse to go...09:54
zcat[1]I've already suggested that they seem to be fishing for excuses not to use Ubuntu and they probably should just go back to Windows ;)09:54

ikoniaclassical: crontab does work10:47
classicali just wanna to make sure that everything works fine10:47
Guest18785PythonPup, I am 99% Ubuntu now thanks to this IRC group! So helpful. I spend as much time here helping what little I can.10:47
ubimanthe best application used for playing .au audio file10:47
soreauclassical: When you run commands in crontab, they are in a sterile environment as ikonia suggested. You will need to set the DISPLAY environment variable to whatever X session you want an X program opened in10:47
soreauclassical: Typically, DISPLAY=:0 will suffice10:47
PythonPupGuest18785, If you are careful about the file names you put there and are willing to take a little risk, it should be possible.10:47
ikoniaclassical: it does10:47
ubimanplease answer me anyone10:48
geirhaclassical: You want gnome-schedule for running X apps in cron10:48
tesujiclassical it won't work10:48
Guest18785PythonPup, If it's that hard it's not worth it. Maybe Windoze will catch up and it will be able to read EXT some day10:48
PythonPupGuest18785, The risk is because Linux is not perfect when writing to NTFS drives.  The newer drivers are pretty good and you may not have a problem, but I would not do it.  But, you decide your own risks to take and I'll try to help you.10:49
soreau! best | ubiman10:49
ubottuubiman: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.10:49
PythonPupGuest18785, It is not hard so much as a little risky.10:49
classicalsoreau, my firefox is running now in background ?10:49
PythonPupGuest18785, I have heard of NTFS filesystems becoming corrupted.10:49
Guest18785PythonPup, How do I do it? I will try it and see how it works.10:50
soreauclassical: No, it failed to start. For example, run it from a tty and see what it says10:50
magicstuffdriving me nuts!~10:50
soreau! tty | classical10:50
ubottuclassical: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).  To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution.10:50
ikoniaclassical: just do touch /tmp/myfile.txt10:50
erUSULubiman: cat file.au > /dev/dsp10:50

Thankd12:48

Iledenphilips99: I think you find it from the applications menu somewhere. Or open a terminal and run "lilypond"12:48
poltersomethinginteres, you could make swap 2X the size of your RAM and it should be fine12:49
actionParsnipsomethinginteres: use 10Gb for /, 1xRAM for swap (I assume you have more than 2Gb RAM) and the rest for /home12:49
polteroh, yeah, 2X RAM was an old rule for when we had less of RAM I guess12:49
actionParsnippolter: its still is the rule of thumb for less than 2gb ram12:50
actionParsnippolter: its not hard and fast though12:50
somethinginteresthanks guys. What about the filesystem types for each? ext3,4 etc?12:51
actionParsnipsomethinginteres: you can even cut up the remaining space and mount them in /home to hold different data on different partitions12:51

actionParsnipsomethinginteres: make them all primary12:52

polterp0a, System -> Administration -> Software Sources13:23
thune3Kuba: i could be missing something, but there aren't extra repositories for UNR. Installing ubuntu-netbook-remix only installs a few extra packages on top of an existing ubuntu installation. Selecting between them using login manager should be enough, removing shouldn't be necessary.13:23
littlepenguinvaibhav thats 1 possibility that should work..13:23
p0apolter, don't have "Administration" under System13:24
polterp0a, there's a dropdown box there for choosing which server to use. You could try to change to a different one, do an apt-get update and try again13:24

t4m1n0_Hi there. I'm having serious problems with new 10.4 ubuntu :\ I can't play videos xvid (despite installing the drivers) when I move the window it is so sloooow. I have intel VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) graphic card. Also I have noticed if I move very fast mouse the cpu goes up up up... any ideas what might cause the video driver to be acting so slow?14:03
oskar-frxstrem: ies4linux uses wine and comes with preinstalled IE versions, afaik14:04
actionParsnipt4m1n0_: have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras14:04

actionParsnipt4m1n0_: then all i can suggest is the xorg-edgers PPA but its MASSIVELY experimental and will most likely cause issues. I'd only use it as a last ditch attempt. Try playing with an xorg.conf file to see if you can set better options than udev is detecting14:08

Black_Prince!ask | mr14:55
ubottumr: 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. :-)14:55
bredotoDoes ubuntu server ed. support mpp or RDAC driver for SAN storages?14:55
ikoniabredoto: no more / less than the desktop edition14:55
mrRight14:55
ikoniabredoto: I've check your cards support in the kenrel version of ubuntu14:56
bareegolol @ bredoto name14:56
* jrib doesn't get it14:56
SimonSayezI hope Google fixes Google Earth for Ubuntu real soon14:56
cfeddeI want to keep a package installed but tell apt not to update it.  Does anyone know how to do that?14:56
mrBasically I wish to remove ubuntu, But I cant use the windows 7 resore card. (I am wanting to remove ubuntu as the wireless will not work with my wireless card in ubuntu, install openSUSE, then reinstall ubuntu when they have fixed the problem)14:56
jrib!pinning | cfedde14:57
ubottucfedde: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto14:57
mrHow do I do this with minimum risk to windows 7.14:57
cfeddejrib++ # awesome! thanks14:57
ikoniamr: just install suse over ubuntu14:57

Black_PrinceThere is a question, when should I use kernel with PAE enabled.14:58
bredotoikonia, any ideas how to compile RDAC driver into iso image of ubuntu? =)14:58
ikoniamr: just install open suse to the ubuntu partition14:58
ikoniabredoto: have you checked the kernel support for it first ?14:58
SimonSayezI swear Grub2 was designed by the Devil14:58
mrHow do i know what one is the ubuntu partion and what ones the windows714:58
littlepenguinpae is for 32 bit systems to adress more than 4 gb ram..but im not sure14:58
liberatemr, no, basically you just need to know which partitions house ubuntu and which house windows and only install opensuse on the ubuntu partition14:58
SimonSayezGrub2 is too damn complicated14:58
mrOk14:59
Black_PrinceYes, I know14:59
ikoniamr: the installer should make it clear14:59
bredoto ikonia, how can i do that?14:59
liberatemr, try running gparted14:59
jribmr: check with the suse channel, but it should be fine14:59
liberateit should be able to identify the windows partition for you14:59
ikoniabredoto: researcher1 the drivers support in the kernel version ubuntu is running14:59
Black_PrinceI use 32bit Xubuntu and I have only 512MB of RAM14:59
littlepenguinblack prince u won t need it14:59
mrand another question (last one). Will the ubuntu devs generally fix problems like I am having with my wireless.14:59
Black_PrinceOk, thanks14:59
liberate(ie, the partition will either be a FAT or NTFS partition)14:59
ikoniabredoto: look in the 2.6.32 kernel support notes14:59
mrBecause i LOVE ubuntu =/14:59
jribmr: did you find a bug report?14:59
SimonSayezmr How old is your computer ?15:00
littlepenguinno mr I LOVE HER, the sexy ubuntu15:00
liberatemr, ubuntu doesn't really write the drivers for wireless cards, it is more down to the linux kernel team and such15:00
bredoto ikonia, tnx i am looking at the moment15:00
mrSimon, its a Dell mini 10, and its a common problem with my broadcom wireless driver.15:00
StuckMojoare there md5sums around for the cds?15:00
liberatemr, have you tried using ndiswrapper?15:00
bareegomr did you try ndiswrapper ?15:00
mrsorry liberate?15:00
jrib!md5sums15:00
ubottuSee https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs.15:00
mrDo not know what that is.15:00
SimonSayezmr, If its a Dell its supported well in Linux15:00
liberatemr, ndiswrapper allows you to use the windows drivers15:01
bareegoit's a wrapper that lets you use the windows drivers15:01
StuckMojojrib: thx15:01
mrIf i connect to wired connection with ubuntu, can you help me do it from there15:01
mrOh no15:01
mrMy wireless driver works fine.15:01
StuckMojojrib: you know, they really hide some stuff on the site15:01
jribmr: so what doesn't work?15:01
SimonSayezmr, use the ndiswrappers15:01
mrthe connections pick up15:01
StuckMojojrib: there's no obvious links to the mirrors list either15:01
mrBUT15:01
mrthey can not connect to WEP2 security15:01
Pici!enter | mr15:01
ubottumr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!15:01
jribStuckMojo: usually the mirrors have a file called MD5SUMS (or similar) together with all the isos, but yes I don't think they are very easily found on ubuntu.com15:01
SimonSayezmr, connect to a wired connection and open synaptic package manager and search for ndiswrapper15:02
mrAnd my router only offers that sevice of encryption btw15:02
bredoto ikonia, seems it supports this feature15:02
bareegomr I found that even stuff like caps can stuff up the keys15:02
mrSimonSayez, my ubuntu already picks up the wireless signal, will it help with that or..?15:02
bareegotry to use a simple lowercase key15:02
jribmr: googling wep2 all I find is "insecure blah blah blah"15:02
mryeah its fairly insecure jrib, but I live nearly by myself in the wireless range15:03
eigentorHow do I prevent the darkening of the screen when I enter a passwort e.g. for software installation15:03
SimonSayezmr, did you do apt-get update on your system yet15:03

mrAnd SimonSayez, let me go into ubuntu and xchat as its easier15:03
Nikon_hello #ubuntu, i have quite a serious problem that i know how to fix, but i need to bypass the boot fsck and drop into the root shell prompt login. ive done it once, but i dont remember how15:04
eigentorI read this has to do with kwin15:04
mrAnd jrib a  netgear router, shaped as a sky box, no other infomation.15:04

exorcimusdpkg: error processing ca-certificates-java (--configure) subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 115:04
bredoto ikonia, i understand how to do that if i have already installed system. But it is secret for me how can i do that if i have only iso image15:04
exorcimushave any idea how to solve it?15:04
mrI cant get into the wireless settings as it refuses my password and name (they are wrote on the side of the box so I am sure it is right, and I am using it for win 7 atm)15:04
exorcimusit appears everytime i install a package15:04
jribexorcimus: run sudo dpk --configure -a in a terminal, same thing happen?15:04
SimonSayezDont use OpenJava instead go directly to the sun site and get Java and install Java via the sh script15:04
bareegomr you should be able to reset it and then it should use default user/password15:05
jribexorcimus: run sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal, same thing happen?15:05
mrHow would I do that bareego?15:05
SimonSayezI mean Oracle site15:05
bareegothere should be some lil button you can press with a paperclip15:05
mrAnd would it affect my windows 7 wireless.15:05
Nikon_im pretty sure there is a key or shortcut that drops into the root shell while ubuntu is booting15:05
mrAhh I see the button.15:05
bareegooften user/password is admin/admin15:05
bareegoI'd google that first for your model15:05
mrOk mate, gimme 2 mins15:05
bareegofind out first what it is for your model15:05
exorcimusjrib : yah , same thing happens15:06
SimonSayezDell Mini 10 must have a Dell Ubuntu Linux Live disk search for it15:06
oskar-Nikon_:  append "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel parameters15:06
SimonSayezbecause Dell makes their own custom version of Ubuntu Linux for their PCs15:06
exorcimusthis is another error line.. Errors were encountered while processing: ca-certificates-java15:06
mrAHHA! I have found the default password and username15:07
jribexorcimus: go into /var/lib/dpkg/info , find the postinst script for that package and add "set -x" near the top, try again, pastebin results as well as the script15:07
mrWhats the browser code for wireless settings again?15:07
mrits numbers, someone gave it to me before,15:07
exorcimusi think th ca-certificates-java is broken , ive tried to reinstall it but still got the same error15:07

Mano_Chaosalve galera!15:08
jribmuthu_: remove the cd from your sources.list15:08
mrNo simon15:08
oskar-Nikon_:  terminating the shell at the end will produce a kernel panic, as init has did. you may have to use "mount -o remount,rw /" for making the / writable, mount -a to mount  the rest, and "umount" as well as "mount -o remount,ro /" afterwards15:08

jribt4m1n0_: hmm, does double click a directory in nautilus stay in nautilus?15:38
tucemiuxCyber_Akuma-Lapt, i always thought you told grub to update manually, not the other way around -- is grub updating automatically?15:38

* StuckMojo downloads the alternative cd15:40
geirhat4m1n0_: Did you get any output at all?15:40
StuckMojoabhijit: you might have to wait for them to fix the package then15:40
tucemiuxCyber_Akuma-Lapt, if grub breaks then I would file a bug report, that is clearly a bug and you will have to deal with it every time you upgrade -- you do this by not upgrading your grub and only do the software update manually15:40
t4m1n0_geirha: yes15:40
littlepenguinmr i would try following: set wlan router without encryption try to connect...if it works use wep and try to connect..if it works change to wpa2 and try..15:40

cablop i got this problem, i lost my board and now i'm rying to use an old one, the problem is, the old board does not recognize the full size of my disks, is risky to use that bard? will ubuntu write data in thw wrong locations?15:41
abhijitStuckMojo, no i mean you know in second step we need to install some extra lib for pgadming, so i cant find the equivalent lib for  codelite to be installed. if we found that then the solution might work15:41
StuckMojoi'm not missing something, like some what to get the lucid install cd to kick into text mode, am i?15:41

wesselI'm nearly running out of disk space, is there some tool to visualize the files on my pc relative to their size? I used sequoiaview on windows.15:42
geirhat4m1n0_: Hm. What about grepping for directory instead of x-directory?15:42
tucemiuxCyber_Akuma-Lapt, if grub is unable to boot up after an upgrade then I would consider it as a bug and let the developers know about it, you can ask about it in #grub15:42
StuckMojosaymoo: broken in what way?15:42
cablopwessel, i guess it's called baobab15:42
abhijitStuckMojo, ok let me try15:42
Cyber_Akuma-Lapttucemiux: its more that im using a bypass to make my system bootable in the first place15:42
StuckMojoabhijit: that automagically finds and installs them for you15:42
saymooStuckMojo, fresh install gives thousands of people a blank screen. (during first boot after install)15:42
Cyber_Akuma-Lapttucemiux: and reinstalling grub with default options undoes that bypass15:43
Piciwessel: Its in Applications>Accessories as 'Disk Usage analyzer' in Gnome by default.15:43

StuckMojoaha, i see, you do need to hit escape to get the menu15:44
saymoothe karmic version (although it had also bugs) was usable.. 10.04 aint15:44
Cyber_Akuma-Lapttucemiux: my computer is very very old, the motherboard bios can't read a drive larger than 120GB. The os drive is 160gb and Ubuntu, as well as grub, is installed past the 120gb area. If grub uses bios mode, it can't read the stage 1.5 files, if it uses ATA mode, it can.15:44
StuckMojosaymoo: it happens. X doesn't play will with all video cards15:44
Cyber_Akuma-Lapttucemiux: it re-installs in bios mode every time its updated15:44
geirhat4m1n0_: Ah, there it is in mimapps.list. Edit that file and remove "vlc.desktop;" from that line.15:44
tucemiuxCyber_Akuma-Lapt, yes basically the upgrade undoes your config -- I would label it as a bug and would ask the developers not to change my config, either that or just do the updates manually and make sure you dont pull down the grub updates15:44
littlepenguinwessel baobab15:44
Cyber_Akuma-Lapttucemiux: its more installing it with a ata module instad of the bios model, rather than a config file15:45
saymooStuckMojo, well, all previous versions of ubuntu works fine here, and at my work.15:45
Cyber_Akuma-Laptmodule*15:45

saymoobut, this 10.04 just goes blank, and after searching the forums, newslists, thousands have the exact same issue. previous versions do work, new one doesnt15:45
StuckMojosaymoo: why don't you report a bug?15:45
tucemiuxCyber_Akuma-Lapt, you need to go to #grub15:45
StuckMojosaymoo: and thus help fix it15:45
Cyber_Akuma-Lapttucemiux: I talked there, they just told me to stop updating grub15:46
geirhat4m1n0_: You can also remove the whole line if you want. Then it should revert to the default; nautilus.15:46
MinasI have successfuly install Ubuntu 10.4, I am using 3G USB modem, but is does not detect automatic, how to install the modem?15:46

daniel_treeis there a problem with the server ??? cause I want to do an update..and I get this error http://pastie.org/107517616:03
tucemiuxayekat, it usually boils down to two factors 1. the router you are connecting to 2. the wireless card you are using to connect to the router --- they might not play nice with each other, specially if youre using security, I suggest you configure your router first without security and then after you confirm security works --- add security16:03
ubuntu_do not install pastie daniel_tree16:04
tucemiuxCyber_Akuma-Lapt, that's the way it works, yes16:04

mrLemme recap my problem from the start then. BASICALLY i installed the dell wireless drivers for my broadcom wireless card. My computer then could pick up the wireless signals, however no matter what it would not connect to them, instead looping itself. This happens no matter what security setting I use.16:05

Bridge|any fixes for Lucid on ThinkPad R50e (and other laptops), with the black screen(suspossedly cuz of intel hw & lucid kernel) i guess the karmic and maverick kernels don't have this prob18:23

macoBridge|: for that, youd hold shift during boot to get the grub menu, then hit "e" to edit the kernel config it was going to boot. arrow key your way to the line that says "quiet splash" at the end, then add "i915.modeset=0" on the same line, then ctrl+x to boot18:31
rwwAc1drefl3x: assuming that by WPA you mean WPA-PSK, look into aircrack-ng. It's packaged in Ubuntu, and their website -- http://www.aircrack-ng.org/ -- has tutorials. You're not likely to get much support for it here, though.18:32

purplefoolwhere do i display larger files for you to look at?  i know i should know this, but i cannot remember...19:22
ralliasashraf: it should be that if you highlight all the files you wish to zip, and then right click, there will be an option called compress. Click that, and select zip from the drop down menu19:23

figure002haresh: if you're just looking for a msn client, then just install: pidgin21:05
Cockroach_intok: you can run it through toast or dvd2onex or something that will try to ensure it is in the valid format but not re-encode or anything. also it could be your dvd media ;)21:05

tripel-webchatSuggestion -- if you have no IRC client: http://webchat.freenode.net/  will get you here and http://mibbit.com will get you to other places.21:06
figure002haresh: the repositories often have older (but stable) versions of the software21:07
ZykoticK9!latest21:07
ubottuPackages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.21:07
hareshyeah but  1.0 dose not support the server protocol any more21:07
figure002haresh: if you really want the newer versions, you'll have to either compile, or better, add another repo for that particular software21:07

Queuetipanml: like trying using a different computer even and try booting from one of those cds23:00
Queuetipanml: the point i'm trying to make is - figure out what the problem is23:01
anmlthe disc works on this laptop23:01
anmlbut not on the PC23:01
Queuetipanml: can you set the cd drive in bios to be the ONLY bootable option?23:01
anmluhh, the problem is I am getting the grub device error, and am unable to boot from a live disc to solve the problem23:01

Queuetipjust because you buy a new cd drive - doesn't mean it's working... cough cough FRYS ELECTRONICS COUGH23:02
matrixblueanml: is the ISO you got a 32 bit version?23:02

zenixLow skilled, in terms of Ubuntu One. There is a folder "Shared with me", if I create a separate folder, so I assume that this is not distributed by default to the public?23:02
Queuetipanml: maybe because i just signed on this channel and didn't wade through pages of your whining already?23:02
anml???? my whining?23:03
anmlwtf is your deal man lmao23:03
Queuetipfor one - your questions have nothing to do with ubuntu23:03
matrixblueanml: your processor is probably a 32 bit and can't boot the 64bit Live CD23:03
rwwzenix: correct. Ubuntu One stuff isn't shared with others unless you explicitly say it is (through the web interface and maybe somehow in the UI now, iono)23:03
anmlmy processor is 64 bit23:03
rwwzenix: i.e., the default is for things not to be shared23:03
anmlqueuetip, this probably stemmed from installing ubuntu23:03
Queuetipif the live cd boots on another machine, and doesn't boot on your desktop - is the problem with ubuntu?23:03
matrixblueanml: Try a 32-bit Live CD anyway23:04
zenixrww, thanks!23:04
anmlthe installation is 64bit though, doesn't it need a 64 to fix the issue if I reinstall?23:04
Queuetipno, you can run a lot of 32bity things on a 64bit architecture23:04

fuzzybunny69yFor some reason whenever I startup my machine the mysql service isn't started and I have to manually start it. On startup if I go to one of my websites it gives the following error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2).

Black_Prince!dell23:06
Queuetipheh well, funny of them, but why would you ask a question regarding mysql (and a common error at that) in ubuntu?23:06
anmlto fix it, i've read you just have to do some fixes from a terminal, but you need a live CD to get in. but I cannot boot from a live CD because it still gives me the no such device error23:06

carophello. I tried installing kubuntu on a fresh PC with two harddisks following  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux    . I copied the contents of kubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso in /dev/hdb1 and installed grub on the MBR of /dev/hda. So far so good, but when I boot, kubuntu loads but then gives me the prompt in console mode (where I was expecting some kind of an installation process...). What's wrong??23:15
littlepenguin_nitzschonot have you tried a 2nd keyboard?23:16
caropfrom the prompt I can see that /dev/hdb1 is mounted as /cdrom. That's it. There's no error or anything, but it just doesn't install23:16

Ramzesikonia: sd-mod and sr_mod for the moment23:50
pil_Hello everyone - I just have a question - I am new to linux and ubuntu also - I want to deep into the system and I guess I have to learn the C language in order to do that - am I wrong or not? But I don't know where to start - could you tell me where shoul I start to deep into linux?23:50
ZykoticK9JoeMaverickSett, typically you'd uninstall a kernel using the regular "apt-get remove BLAH" or use Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center.23:50
thune3RedLance_: i would recommend coming in from livecd to ubu partition to check. According to http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unetbootin/wiki/howitworks , if everything is still there then you might only need to move grub.cfg.bak to grub.cfg in /boot (if grub2 is there). Not sure though, not at all.23:51
dexisoreau, ok i'll do that but I can't control when it happens23:51
JoeMaverickSettZykoticK9, i compiled it myself so, could you give me some more info on it? haven't installed it though.23:51
Oerariel_g, does this apply to you, ica ?23:51
IdleOne!manual | pil_23:51
RedLance_thune3: Ok, thanks man.23:51
ubottupil_: 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/23:51
RedLance_thune3: Or lady??23:51
ZykoticK9JoeMaverickSett, if you manually installed it, i have no idea - best of luck.23:51
JoeMaverickSettZykoticK9, eh, okie.thanks anyways. :)23:52
ariel_gOer: the notice i got is more detailed and makes it look like I am affected.23:52
tsziklayanyone know how to change environment variables globally? (I barely even know what that means)23:52
pil_ubottu: thanks for the info23:52
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)23:52
tsziklayjust know I have to do it :)23:52
RamzesGuys, is there a way to build up a kernel to get more modules and where shall I get them from?23:52
fuzzybunny69yariel_g, hmmm there is nothing with mysql anywhere in there23:52
Danger_aight guys, all i need is a sample working courier imapd.conf file. please?23:52
TooluckyHey, can anyone help me out with this BusyBox error I get whenever I try to startup my computer with the latest Ubuntu distro installed on it?23:52
ZykoticK9!kernel | Ramzes23:52
ubottuRamzes: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages23:52
fuzzybunny69yariel_g, do you know how I would get mysql to startup on boot?23:53
sparrWWhy is this dependency not met? evolution: Depends: libgtkhtml-editor0 (< 3.31) but 1:3.29.6.is.3.28.3-0ubuntu2 is to be installed23:53
george_Hi All23:53
tsziklayguys, how do you change environment variables globally? and what does that actually mean?23:53
ariel_gfuzzybunny69y for runlevel 2....just put a symlink like S19mysql in /etc/rc2.d to /etc/init.d/mysql23:54
sparrWtsziklay: environment variables are a per-process thing, there is no such thing as "global" environment variables.23:54
Danger_le sigh, got to run. but... i'll be back!23:54
tsziklaysparrW: then when I run a python subprocess that calls grails and it tells me "grails: JAVA_HOME is not defined properly, cannot execute: java" what does that mean? someone told me something about environment variables being wrong or something23:55
sparrWtsziklay: child processes inherit the environment variables of their parent. you need to start python with the appropriate JAVA_HOME, or your python script must set it before launching java23:56
SH-ChrisRedLance_: Installing teh 32 bit edition on a pc with a 64bit processor wont matter at all right?23:56
RedLance_SH-Chris: Nope, that'll work fine.23:57
tsziklaysparrW: I see, then the next question would b how do I "start python with the appropriate JAVA_HOME"?23:57
pepper_hazewhats up ubuntu?23:57
Ramzesubottu: thanks for the links. I am afraid it will ruin my system. I am not IT just a finance guy with a bit of background. I just would like to plug the usb cd rom nothing more. i doubt it needs messing up with the kernel it is not a super extraordinary thing to do i reckon ...23:57
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)23:57
sparrWtsziklay: the simplest, "JAVA_HOME=/some/path/to/java/stuff python script.py"23:57
sparrWtsziklay: there are other options23:58
tsziklaysparrW: I would put that command into terminal? and the path you are suggesting, obviously you don't know my particular paths, but is that path supposed to be to my python script?23:58
ZykoticK9Ramza, a USB CDROM "should" work out of the box - mine does anyway.23:59
pepper_hazedoes anyone here know the date of 10.10?23:59
sparrWtsziklay: no, it's supposed to be to where all your java support files live, possibly /usr/local/something/java23:59
djstephenhello all23:59
