[00:00] what? [00:00] hmm... [00:00] very interesting [00:00] you see [00:00] also, whe i installed regular ubuntu dhclient was installed by default [00:00] lucid is getting very sneaky [00:00] dont know if i like this [00:01] oh. I can retrieve a windows from the other screen. Just use "move". My mistake was I thought I need to click-drag. But no, just click move, drag, then click to let go. sweet. [00:01] gonna reinstall [00:01] hmm. Maybe that was my problem in windows too :') [00:01] magicianlord: Go for it. Good luck! [00:01] AviMarcus: You can also drag windows by holding alt and draging them from anywhere, even inside the window. [00:02] it's alt-click, and sometimes that hits a button and kills it [00:02] hello how can i know what virtualbox i have installed? puel or ose? [00:02] alt-f7 is fine though [00:02] punkmexic: changes are it's ose === hxhjx is now known as MushroomCloud [00:02] hi [00:02] punkmexic: if you installed it via aptitude it's almost surely OSE [00:02] how can i have the puel franc_ ? [00:02] I thought I needed to click drag. that's why it didn't work for me. [00:02] MushroomCloud: Hello [00:03] i installed from .deb package from virtualbox site [00:03] You can get PUEL using Oracle's PPA [00:03] !hi | MushroomCloud [00:03] MushroomCloud: Hi!

Ubuntu has no IRC for 10.04 and only pidgin for the livecd. I dont have a HD and I cant install any other client, tried terminal clients irssi and ircii [00:03] punkmexic: then you have PUEL [00:03] is it true that xbuntu is the smallest ubuntu distribution? [00:03] punkmexic, how did you install it? Did you download and install the deb or install via repositories?

[00:04] punkmexic, sorry I was a bit late, what are you trying to get it to do? [00:05] My Dolphin Wii emulator (got it through a ppa) stopped working correctly. It's under development still but used to work so I figure an update broke it. Is there an easy way to go back to the subversion I had a week or two ago? [00:05] i know that puel is for using usb in the emulation [00:05] thats why i want puel [00:05] ose is the version in the ubuntu repos [00:05] hi. in 10.04 the pulseaudio daemon always starts with /etc/pulse/daemon.conf or stuff in user home space? [00:05] Hi, Quick question - I'm trying to use gparted to resize my partition but the problem is the free space is not located next to the drive I want to resize its as this ntfs partition -> extended partition -> free space, I want to be able to add the free space to the ntfs partition is this possible? [00:05] punkmexic: if you downloaded the .deb from Oracle's site it is PUEL [00:06] ok tensorpudding [00:06] thanx [00:06] puel rules [00:06] they should remove ose [00:06] OK I did get on from webchat.freenode.net but I had to ask to join twice and so needed to know /join [00:06] RamboRock: you'll probably need to move data and delete/reconstruct [00:06] RamboRock ; as far as i know, you have to resize partitions on the internal drives from a flash drive [00:07] RamboRock: because of the extended partition [00:07] augdawg: yes I've booted using the gparted live cd === Anom01y is now known as Anom01y_ [00:07] boa noite [00:08] RamboRock ; what i do is just use full ubuntu on a live cd ; it has gparted [00:08] tem algum brazuca ai [00:08] ilovefairuz: I thought that might have been the case just thought there might have been another way [00:08] RamboRock, if you turn the free space into NTFS, then WIndows will be able to see and use it. [00:09] is there a way to get the file browser to display a text path rather than named icon bubble things?

Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [00:12] r15: that's generally the rule [00:12] r15, Depends on what you want to do with the server - however, either X1.5 or X2 is usual [00:12] n8 [00:12] ilovefairuz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d26W4k7V [00:12] r15: what are you serving/how much physical ram is going to be in it [00:12] masen: actually one server is going on high load, and i checked, physical ram is 2gb and allocated swap is around 500mb [00:12] my dvd drive dosnt work, i think that maybe i found the answer but i need that somebody more expert than me take a look to a web page [00:13] i have an old computer it doesnt have a video card, its 768 proc, 128 ram... i was wondering if there was a snes emulator that runs without opengl or x11 [00:13] r15, Database serving, file serving, VM serving - eh? [00:14] and nfs mount points stops responding due to some reason, everyday, files being served are over http, [00:14] root52: hmm why do you suspect you have to sshd? didnt you remove the first ? [00:14] if disk space is not an issue i think 4gb swap would probably be sufficient [00:14] r15, NFS and not SMB? [00:14] ssh -v shows old version [00:14] i am newbie actually, ¿ who is familiarized whit fstab, i have to paste aline in there but i dont know in which part [00:14] is it normal it is not asking password in logging in?

Where can I look for that? [00:16] no load balancing, only one interface [00:16] nobody knows ? [00:16] im unable to install ubuntu unity on lucid 10.04 netbook remix [00:16] dependency problem [00:16] Frankiitaa: I guess you can just add that line beneath the other lines that have to do with mounting something [00:17] r15, That's what I meant - one network card - tweak out the settings for it - tweak out the settings in /etc/sysctl.conf - etc etc etc... [00:17] Frankiitaa: At the very end, that is. [00:17] Frankiitaa: I've used fstab a bit. What question about fstab are you asking, that you need to show what your fstab output is? Can you paste the whole thing in a pastebin?

It plays fine in VLC and totem but I'd like to distibute it in a more standard format. Is there any way to put it in an mp4 or quicktime container withought re-encoding the video? [00:19] Bridge|: Yes, unless you say "ssh -p 12345" for port 12345. [00:19] did u see it ?

[00:20] Jordan_U: You want to keep the codecs but change the container? Can you do that with "mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy"? [00:20] RamboRock: pastebin fdisk -l [00:20] kwtm: I'll try that now, thanks. [00:20] kwtm: a few possibilities 1) you added a PPA without adding the matching key 2) the package downloaded doesnt match the one the computer expected. that can be for two reasons A) havent run "apt-get update" recently enough and a new version came out since last time B) man in the middle attack [00:21] Jordan_U: You may need to add a few other options or go over the mencoder docs; I'm just giving you a starting point.

[00:22] idiot_q: why not upgrade to 10.10 alpha? unity is not available for 10.04. [00:22] RamboRock: with 'sudo' [00:22] maco: Thanks. Just ran apt-get update 1 minute prior (I have been getting this error for past few weeks but ignored and skipped update due to NoTimeToDealWith). MITM unlikely but of course that's why we have GPG in the first place. Where can I find the correct GPG key for the standard repositories (these are packages like "base-files" and "apt"). [00:23] kyentei, ? is it buggy? [00:23] idiot_q: Not that I know of. It's still in it's ALPHA stages though. ;-) [00:24] kyentei, ;) [00:24] idiot_q: You want unity, 10.10 gives you just that. [00:24] kwtm: that should be there by default... :-/ [00:24] kyentei, so no way i can get unity working under ubuntu netbook 10.04? [00:24] ilovefairuz: 1 sec need to boot into ubuntu [00:24] If you follow a tutorial, perhaps. [00:25] I am using xchat, but it won't show me the userlist, please help! [00:25] maco: Yeah, maybe it got misplaced. (Also my KNetworkManager suddenly stopped working, something about a misplaced config file, so I'm guessing something messed up during some upgrade.) Would you mind checking where your GPG keys are? I'll go have a look in the same place in my corresponding directory. [00:25] Hi. Can anyone tell me what I need to do, to make sure my memory stick is bootable when installing an .iso with unetbootin?

[00:26] idiot_q: Then it's not working anymore. 10.10 it is ;-) [00:26] maco: Or, do prove that it's not a MITM, can I try a different repository? Is there a list of ubuntu repositories? (I keep wondering if someone's rooted by DD-WRT router.) [00:26] funnny thing is libclutk is installed [00:26] hehe [00:26] ok gonna give it a shot [00:26] kwtm: yep, if you go to system > administration > software sources, you can choose a new mirror [00:26] idiot_q: goodluck [00:26] kyentei, have you tried unity? [00:26] idiot_q: Yes, I have. :-) It's quite awesome. [00:27] idiot_q: If you just want to try it, why not use a Virtual machine? [00:27] kyentei, ok dude... trusting you and ubuntu developers big time :) [00:27] idiot_q: haha :-P It's on your own risk ;-) [00:27] kyentei, this is for my netbook anything on it is disposable...

[00:32] sander: Not sure if I know enough to help you, but since no one else seems to have replied: I think there are certain USB sticks that aren't bootable; there are others that you have to do funny things to them to make them bootable. Also of course you have to tell your computer to boot from USB. [00:32] One more thing. When installing from source using checkinstall will that put all the files in the default place like the ubuntu package would? Or would I still have to add the arguments like I would with make install? [00:32] ilovefairuz: after the extended partition [00:32] it is also larger then the partition that is being expanded [00:32] maco: Aarrrgh, I can see why: Kpk is frozen, and I can't tell if it's busy doing something, or just not responding. KDE4 has been doing that a lot to me. :( [00:33] kwtm: Any USB stick can be bootable as long as the BIOS supports booting from USB. [00:33] How can I set it up after an installation so that I can have partition mount on boot? [00:33] sorry I mean the same arguments as I would with the ./configure script. [00:33] !ping [00:33] pong [00:33] sander: some machines you need to hold down ctrl during boot to make them boot from usb [00:33] !pong [00:33] pong is an old atari game. It's fun! [00:33] RamboRock: ah, ok [00:33] Jordan_U: Really?

[00:51] kathe: whats the cpu load that htop is saying? [00:51] Sonderblade: "pasuspender foo" will suspend pulseaudio, run the command foo, and resume pulseaudio when the command foo exits. [00:52] You 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] picard1421: if you dont do that. then the flash drive may not be bootable [00:52] ok THanks Dr-WILLIS [00:52] ilovefairuz, so i am likely going to need to reinstall grub [00:52] kathe: why no just use regular 'top' [00:52] ok, I replaced the drive I had GRUB installed on. =/ sooo.... how exactly would I reinstall GRUB? [00:52] kathe: htop is a console/terminal app. it should work find in recovery console [00:52] !grub2 | Condoulo [00:52] Condoulo: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

[00:53] Sonderblade: Pulseaudio has OSS compatability. [00:53] gregl: look up cygwin [00:53] gregl: You have a ssh server for windows? [00:54] aeon thanks [00:54] gregl: or regular ssh if you meant th other way round [00:54] ilovefairuz i'll be back with a live cd [00:54] kathe: I don't think that your problem is at all grub related. [00:54] Jordan_U: well it says device /dev/dsp is busy which i know is pulseaudios fault [00:54] Sonderblade: Use "padsp foo". [00:54] Dr_Willis, no but i would like to.. === thursday is now known as uncleBez [00:56] There has to be someone who knows either sed or Awk??? [00:57] !anyone | sosaited [00:57] sosaited: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:57] sosaited: Also please avoid extraneous punctuation. [00:58] sosaited: There actually is #awk [00:59] Ok. I have a very large text file with pattern "Some Text|Other Text|Delete Text|Extra Text" on every line. I want to remove the third "|" separated field "Delete Text" and write to another file [01:00] Pici: Thanks. I'll post there also.

[01:06] Pici: Thanks man. That works. But will it be comparable to speed to awk? Cause the file is about 50MB [01:06] i'll give that a go [01:07] chronIK, you can also try a usb flash disk [01:07] i did that with a 2gb one [01:07] dont have one handy atm :P [01:07] worked like a charm [01:07] they cost just a few bucks === tuizim is now known as ney [01:08] sosaited: It should be pretty fast, cut is made for doing those things [01:08] sosaited: I would expect it to be faster if anything, since cut is more speciallized for exctly this. [01:08] alright i'll try again, can't get a good boot, during normal boot, goes to splash, splash goes away blank screen, when looking under the splash screen, it ends with can't find root device ... can't find device /disk/yadadada going to shell... did two drive checks for integrity they both pass [01:08] chronIK: also check out wubi, with that you wont need to resize your partition [01:08] i think, i'll wait and just grab a flash drive then for my laptop [01:09] you dont change a thing on your hard drive at all [01:09] wubi isnt that the windows installer? [01:09] u can do from a windows pc? [01:09] chronIK: Yes. [01:09] I mistakenly did "sudo modprobe --remove p4-clockmod", then tried "sudo modprobe p4-clockmod" to re-enable scaling, but the scaling menu in the panel now says scaling is unsupported, even after I restart. [01:09] ah yeh i was reading about this before i joined here [01:09] yeah you just install complete ubuntu on a windows drive [01:09] i know ubuntu 5.1 isnt supported where is the best place to look for help? [01:10] ubuntu 5.1 [01:10] Scaling works when I do "cpufreq-selector -f ", so I know it's supported. Did I disable a daemon or something? [01:10] ? wat the hell is that lol [01:10] Pici: Thanks a lot man. That was lightning fast :). [01:10] Jordan_U you said you didn't think my problem was grub, what do you think it is === [WhiteKIBA] is now known as WhiteKIBA [01:10] Jordan_U: Yeah it was... Thanks buddy [01:10] ace241: breezy? you need to upgrade to a current version [01:10] chronIK: ace241 means 5.10, a *very* old version [01:11] i tried to install 9.10 but it was too slow [01:11] kathe: I'm not sure, but since the kernel is loading and you're even getting to the splash screen grub has suceeded in its job and is long gone by the time you get that error. [01:12] and wouldnt load, even the "without installing" [01:12] ace241: what cpu have you got and how much ram? [01:12] ace241: how old is the machine? === bastidra1or is now known as bastid_raZor [01:12] ace241: you may be better off with xubuntu or lubuntu [01:13] ace241: are you trying to install ubuntu on old a machine?

I have the plugin installed. [01:14] and the colors rgb are there but red isnt visable [01:14] ace241: xubuntu and lubuntu are made for older systems [01:14] I put gnome-shell as default wm and did an upgrade. Now I only get a white screen when logging in. How can I return to the regular wm when I can't open gconf-editor? [01:14] it works fine, cept it work let me use windowed mode [01:14] heh ace241 try crunchbang or xubuntu like maco said [01:15] i know but i wont have to install all these dependencys again? === WhiteKIBA is now known as [WhiteKIBA] [01:15] ace241: You've come in here a few days now asking for support for Ubuntu 5.10. You are not going to get it, upgrade to 10.04. [01:15] and i might not have sound... [01:15] just risk it dude :p [01:15] i dont even have any more cds [01:16] is it possible to control MPD from windows pc via the http local network? [01:16] i wonder if apt-get upgrade would work in your case^^ [01:16] ace241: use update-manager to upgrade or download a current one. Lucid <10.04> is recommended [01:16] mpd has a gui client you can install [01:16] no internet 10.04 isnt gonna work if 9.10 doesnt [01:16] it would be release by release [01:16] gnomefreak: thatd be even more downloading [01:16] s/be/but [01:17] i might try xubuntu, but do i need any dependencys to run zsnes on it [01:17] i am using sonata for the gui and popcorn music serach for terminal [01:17] I'm pretty sure an upgrade via apt get over like 10 releases is a bad idea. [01:17] I need to get into alsaconf in the terminal. What's the command for it? [01:17] maco: its either download or upgradee. download is the less net useage [01:17] but what i need, is something i can control... from my web browser? [01:18] Craig_Dem: he would have to get to at least 6.06 than he should be able to skip releases up to LTS [01:18] taget did u mean gui web browser client? yh [01:18] Jordan_U seems like your right, not grub, it's an upgrade/update bug [01:18] iNo it was a gtk based windows executable [01:18] ace241: a cd upgrade is going to be the least downloading... "dpkg --get-selections > packages" on the original, then on thhe new install "dpkg --set-selections < packages" and then "sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade" thatll automatically reinstall everything you had installed before [01:18] I would backup then clean install. [01:18] 5.10 -> 6.06 -> 8.04 -> 10.04 [01:18] How do I reconfigure ALSA to run a Realtek id270? [01:19] i dont have internet on the pc i am trying to fix [01:19] gnomefreak: oh yeah lts jumps do help.... [01:19] taget: whats the name of that one bro? [01:19] not sure if you can skip LTS releases [01:19] i have 10.04 and am having trouble testing/installing on my newest machine. any ideas. Intel i3 @ 2.13 4gb ram and win 7. [01:19] gnomefreak: no, cant do 6.06 -> 10.04 [01:19] so i was wondering if the is a way to apt-get GRAB or something [01:19] maco: Can you really do a dpkg --get/set-selections between releases? [01:19] it lockes up at kernel_thread_helper [01:19] upgrade that way is a whole lot less net than downloading a 688 MB Image [01:19] or do u mean built into the MPD server it's self? [01:19] maco: i thought not :) [01:19] chronlK mpd.wikia.com/wiki/cClients [01:20] have you looked there [01:20] s/less/more [01:20] Err. The iso is like 2.5 GB compressed. You would need to download that for each update. [01:20] Jordan_U: itll complain about packages that went away, such as old kernels, but itll at least get you close [01:20] no problem downloading the image, where can i get xubuntu, or w/e might work without downloading any more dependcys [01:20] is VLC the best player for video in buntu? [01:20] !best | Lt-Elmo [01:20] how can i see the temperature of my motherboard? i can only see gpu, hd and cpu [01:20] Lt-Elmo: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:20] Craig_Dem: the iso includes the live system and lots of debs that arent installed by default and wubi and some windows software though [01:21] they are ~688MB per image but during install it will get to ~2gig [01:21] ace241: what dependencies are you talking about? [01:21] ace241: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu i think [01:21] Still a ton of extra files to download. Times 3. [01:21] Does anyone know about ASLA? [01:21] srry just was seeing if it was the best option [01:21] If the size is an issue, it might be worth pinging your loco and seeing if they have any disks from the previous versions. you might get lucky [01:21] alsa? === Guest75537 is now known as Dexikiix [01:22] The sound system. [01:22] nolan_: depends what you want to knowo [01:22] nolan_: alsa and what is needed to know [01:22] chronIK i cant remember the name of the program, it was quite a while ago. :( [01:22] nolan_: i might know a bit, but #alsa would know better [01:23] I need to know how to reconfigure ASLA so it can run my Realtek ID270. [01:23] i am currently using ubuntu 5.1 and i am considering updating, and i want a snes emulator, so i need to know i install "xubuntu" will i have to install the dependcys libpng,zlib,opengl(no videocard..),x11 or will it magically run [01:23] or which it will magically work on [01:24] can anyone help with an rtorrent/xmlrpc issue? I'm getting the same issue as this guy when compiling xmlrpc --> http://paste.lisp.org/display/60544,1/raw [01:24] ace241: youll need to reinstall dependencies if you install from cd, but it should figure out dependencies for you when you tell it to install zsnes [01:24] askhl_: install xubuntu-desktop should help maybe [01:24] it [01:24] doesnt have [01:24] and yes, i'm also in #rtorrent asking them [01:24] teh internet [01:24] ace241, my suggestion is download the xubuntu live cd, put it on a flashdrive and try it see what works and what doesnt [01:24] nolan_: if you know the quirk needed, then simply add: options snd-hda-intel model=FOO to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [01:25] ace241: oh then yes you need to download them. have you heard of AptOnCD? [01:25] So, i have ubuntu on 1 IDE drive and Win7 on another drive (sata if it matters)... is there an easy way to run dual boot rather than switching the drives back and forth? [01:25] * gnomefreak perfers alternate installer :) [01:25] damnit, i just deleted all of them [01:25] nolan_: where FOO is replaced by the quirk you need [01:25] nolan_: if you dont know, then #alsa people could help you figure it out [01:25] so, where can i find dependcys for xubuntu [01:25] nolan_: or is it simply a configuration problem? [01:26] ace241: apt-cache show xubuntu-desktop [01:26] ace241: packages.ubuntu.com lists the dependencies for all packages [01:26] that will give you a list of them [01:26] oh [01:26] anyone? [01:26] what versions better for slow old pcs [01:26] xubuntu or nubuntu [01:26] Dexikiix, Grub or Grub2 can do that [01:26] ace241: nubuntu? never heard of it [01:26] oh [01:26] ace241: xubuntu is the better way to go since we support it [01:27] ace241: xubuntu traditionally though lubuntu is the new version and a bit lighter weight [01:27] oh [01:27] okay [01:27] Mr_Sonoma, is it easy to get running? Im kind of nervous I'm going to fubar windows [01:27] * gnomefreak kind of likes lubuntu [01:27] ace241: by "new version" i mean its a new not-yet-official derivative [01:27] i hope i have a cd [01:27] so much effort...

[01:45] ace241: you can download them from http://packages.ubuntu.com you're going to want the versions for lucid not for breezy [01:45] Licuadora: yes. thats right.. so linux is better then windows because of the no virus stuff.. showing off the 'splash' screen is like showing off your fuzzy dice on a Race Car. :) [01:45] alright [01:45] who can tell me what is this? [01:45] Licuadora: never used burg.. i dont worry too much about eyecandy [01:45] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/zsnes/1.510-2.2ubuntu3 [01:46] the "depends on" list [01:46] Dr_Willis: MMMMMH.. eyecandy [01:46] i got to download those..? [01:46] and then, i have to download all those from all those and all those??? [01:46] Licuadora: eye candy causes ocular cavaties. [01:46] Guest97983, what is what? [01:46] somebody knows how to make the recovery partition available/visible on ubuntu of a lenovo s10e PLEASE? [01:46] :D [01:46] i mean, its not a never ending list? [01:46] ace241: packages.ubuntu.com is really the easiest site because it lists the dependencies and links to their download pages [01:46] You have conviced me Dr [01:47] darksmoke: theres guides out on altering the grub2 configs to hide specifi things like that. [01:47] !grub2 | darksmoke [01:47] darksmoke: 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 [01:47] ace241: many of the dependencies will be part of a default install too, dont foret [01:47] ace241: like, youll never need to get libc6 for example. thas default installed [01:47] the thing is this [01:47] i use grass in ubuntu and the software crashes without any warning. what to do? [01:47] darksmoke: or disable the /etc/grub.d/30_osprober and add just a custome entry for the one windows os you want to boot to the 40_custome config file [01:48] i know that if i put windows xp on flashdrive, install it on the laptop. the recovery partition will be available again [01:48] but i want a quick way to do it [01:48] darksmoke: I dont follow how you can put xp on a flash drive.. but thats not really ubuntu related. :) [01:48] well in the zsnes readme it says nasm,libpng,opengl,zlib,curses, and x11 does opengl work without a video card [01:48] ace241: how are you going to play a game without a video card? [01:49] a super nintendo game?? [01:49] carefully is my guess Dr_Willis :) [01:49] ace241: zsnes is a SNES emulator.. so.. howare you going to play it without a video card? [01:49] ace241, i find it hard to believe you don't have a video card on that computer [01:49] ace241: why not tell the channel what you are actuially trying to acomplish? [01:49] mario is like 8 colors [01:50] my zsnes wont show red, out of rgb [01:50] ace241: zsnes is more then 8 colors... [01:50] any ideas, [01:50] thx [01:50] maybe 64 [01:50] at most [01:50] anyone know if there is a way to have ubuntu/mint auto mount a hard drive without fstabing because i swap hard drives alot and fstab causes a stall if a harddrive in its list isnt found [01:50] ace241: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:50] literally. [01:50] ace241: theres emulatorsz other then zsnes out there. [01:50] red yellow blue and green white black...... light blue?? [01:51] well whats an emulator that doesnt use opengl [01:51] Alazare: 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] or one that will work on old linux [01:51] Alazare: 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] ace241: how are you going to see the game if you dont have a graphics card? [01:51] dude, i have it working [01:51] but it wont let me window it [01:51] ace241: last i checked zsnes had several different output/displays it could use.. but i havent uised it in ages. [01:51] it does [01:52] but only one visable is 640x480 [01:52] full screen [01:52] the only problem im having is that if i dont have it in fstab [01:52] says u need opengl, and i have glut3 and all that [01:52] rythmbox if i dont moutn the ahrd drive in like nautilus [01:52] before running rythmbox [01:52] it wipes all my library :( [01:52] then i have to rescan my library === [WhiteKIBA] is now known as WhiteKIBA [01:52] Alazare: there is the 'noauto' option in fstab also. But rythmbox will get confused if the drive suddently vanishes on the next boot anyway.. [01:52] so most likely lubuntu wont fix it, cuz of the vid deal [01:52] ? [01:53] ace241: we are not even sure what your actual problem is.. You have been jumpiong about too much. [01:53] ace241: what 'vid deal' ? [01:53] is there not a snes emulator that just uses 8 colors [01:53] ace241: Are you still running 5.10? [01:53] Dr_Willis: what will no auto do exactly [01:53] considering updating if it isnt completely pointless and a waste [01:53] more than what im doing anyway [01:54] Should Frets on Fire be using 100% of both cores of my 3.0ghz dual core cpu? [01:54] ace241: nes itself didnt even do that [01:54] fluxbox users > how can i show mpc controls in the menu? cant seem to find jack on google.. [01:54] didnt have 8 colors, ur kidding [01:55] 'man 7 environ: The variable environ points to an array of pointers to strings called the "environment".' Why does '~$ echo $environ' display an empty line only? [01:55] mario_hat=Red [01:55] not blue === spyrosebastos is now known as spiros [01:56] so there isnt a miniopengl for ancient ubuntus [01:56] ace241: If you're still using 5.10 we cannot support you. Period. [01:56] i have lubuntu on iso [01:56] hey can anyone help me set up the web interface for BackupPC? [01:56] doooooo shheeee [01:57] wow kdenlive requires a lot of packages [01:57] ace241: excuse me? === WhiteKIBA is now known as [WhiteKIBA] [01:57] in*? === hannibal is now known as Guest27987 [01:57] support, thx [01:57] Alazare: it will (should) mount it on access i think.. somthing to try i guess. [01:57] ace241: What version of Ubuntu are you running right now? [01:57] if i installed lub, then zsnes, and all deps, without a video card i am screwtated? [01:58] 9.10 [01:58] fatty [01:58] Alazare: then as part of your users startup - have 'nautilus /media/theplace' :) so it mounts when you login [01:58] ace241: the statement 'without a video card' is a little.. odd... [01:58] Dr_Willis oooo I never thought of that [01:58] 1 [01:58] Alazare: :) it pays to be sneaky [01:58] i bought it for a dollar [01:58] ace241: Enough with the insults. [01:59] Hey [01:59] !codeofconduct > ace241 [01:59] ace241, please see my private message [01:59] Dr_Willis see nautilus sees the drive without fstabing, so i could just have a shortcut to the drive in my startup so long as its there bam moutned on login [01:59] ace241: I think you need to start from the begining and write up a clear statement of your problem and what you are trying to do. === _Techie_|_Away_ is now known as _Techie_ [01:59] I have issues with compiz-fusion. "Composite extension not available," yet my GPU is not listed on the blacklist. Wat do plz? D: [01:59] Dr_Willis your a lifehacker reader huh? :P [01:59] I seem to have sub-par quality coming from media players but i don't notice anything wrong with the quality when playing from pandora over the web... that sound conceivable to anyone? [01:59] Alazare: :) every so often. [02:00] i read that Alazare :) [02:00] okay, i have lubuntu. on a cd. in iso format, and, zsnes, and all of its dependencys, on a flash drive [02:00] nice read ^^ [02:00] okay, and install it... and extract [02:00] will i see the color red, in zsnes [02:00] How do I get Ubuntu's special effects to work? It says "Composite extension not available." [02:00] "without a video card" [02:01] I use a Radeon HD 4890. it's not on the blacklist. My mobo is a p55 chipset [02:01] can anyone help? [02:01] ace241: how are you going to 'see' anything without a video card? [02:01] its integrated [02:01] ace241: so.. you DO have a video card... [02:01] yes i have an integrated vcard [02:01] that doesnt view red [02:01] yunnng [02:02] ace241: does it show 'red' in teh bios, or desktop or other OS's ? [02:02] in paint yes [02:02] ace241, ok lets get something straight. you have a video card on your computer, weither intergrated into the MB or not its there or you WOULD NOT have a display on a monitor at all. period. your "without video card" comment is ONLY causing confusion. [02:02] and on xp [02:02] or me [02:02] maybe 98 [02:02] ace241: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:02] !enter | ace241 [02:02] ace241: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:02] ace241: and the video card chipset is? [02:02] so somehow I created a file called '-f'. How can I delete it? [02:03] jcxl: ione way rm '-f' [02:03] jcxl: just like you had it quoted :) [02:03] almost helpful [02:03] jcxl: or rm - -f [02:03] jcxl: aniother way rm -- -f [02:03] i have an issue with grub, is someone available? [02:03] do they make motherboards without integrated vids [02:03] it's still there [02:03] jcxl: the trick of that is anything after a -- does Not get parsed as arguments. [02:03] jcxl: sorry, Dr_Willis's second suggestion was what I meant. [02:03] ah, that last one worked [02:03] ace241: they make all sorts of motherboards. [02:03] ace241, yes i'm sure they do. [02:03] thanks [02:04] woo hoo [02:04] how do I get the visual effects working? [02:04] It says "composite extension not found" [02:04] oh, well i dont have a video "card" but it is integrated not sure what kind it is surely it isnt new [02:04] mid to high end boards from most manufacturers have no onboard video [02:04] Artel: Are there any drivers listed in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers? [02:04] anyway to get red in "teh" bios [02:04] Hmm i wonder why '-f' dident work. Im sure that worked in the past. [02:05] -B [02:05] ace241: you DO have a video card.. and you NEED to determine its chipset. [02:05] Hello, Everyone [02:05] Hello, Everyone [02:05] Hello, Everyone [02:05] IRCXBMC: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:05] dam [02:05] Dr_Willis: would lspci identify the chipset? [02:05] Pici: Okay, the visual effects WERE working...until I installed the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. So yea, I have that listed currently. [02:06] TheRufus: proberly. but he sort of said he diodent even have ubuntu installed... (i think) [02:06] i686 ... pentium3 ... thats all i can think of [02:06] anyone can tell me the default fonts setting for ubuntu 10.04? [02:06] TheRufus, yea i'm certain it would. [02:06] ace241: can you boot off a live CD? [02:06] ace241: for starters inastall Lubuntu on that thing. then come back here. [02:06] no, not with 9.10 anyway [02:07] anyone can tell me the default fonts setting for ubuntu 10.04? [02:07] Artel: Is fglrx in use? [02:07] ace241: take the side panel off your case and tell us your mobo model [02:07] Pici: Yea, fglrx is in use. [02:08] intel [02:08] unless it's a dell [02:08] compaw [02:08] then throw it in the bin and buy another computer [02:08] compaq [02:08] eww [02:08] 1$ [02:08] um, ok, how about a model number, like on the side or front or back of the case [02:08] Are there any reasonably priced online backup services that are Ubuntu friendly? [02:08] TheRufus: be nice about other people's stuff... [02:08] quick Q... I am running ubuntu server in a virtual box an I don't want ot to use a vga text display, because it's extremely slow. Is there a way to amke it never go graphical? [02:09] (10.04) [02:09] its at my house i will try installing lubuntu [02:09] and these, and get back [02:09] hopefully not lol [02:09] for the sake of pito [02:09] Artel: hm === _Techie_|_Away_ is now known as _Techie_ [02:09] mrpoundsign: of course there is. just run it without graphics, i.e. plug into it with SSH, Serial, etc... [02:10] rdw200169: I want the console to not be vga. not talking about X [02:10] ace241: is the computer you're intending on running ubuntu on actually in windows at the moment? [02:10] im on 9.10, but i have 5.1 at my house [02:10] this one is 80 gigs, with 20 gig ub [02:10] mrpoundsign: i know exactly what you're talking about. what i mean is, completely disreagard the 'monitor' that VirtualBox gives you, and use your host terminal to access the VM image [02:11] rdw200169: but I don't want to completely ignore the monitor. especially when doing a dist upgrade. [02:11] 'monitor' [02:12] Can anyone else help me with my problem involving getting visual effects working on Ubuntu? [02:12] opengl should run on an integrated vid right? [02:12] hey can anyone help me set up the web interface for BackupPC? [02:13] mrpoundsign: regardless, i don't think you're gonna escape the VGA-ness of VirtualBox... performance depends directly on what VirtualBox is telling ubuntu, and vice-versa. if you set up a fake-serial connection, you could dist-upgrade there without issues [02:13] nayone know how to test a power supply if its giving off to much power [02:13] ? [02:13] whats the name of the opengl dependcy like the main one [02:15] i ought to downgrade ub [02:15] j3rg: power supply testers only cost about 5 bucks. But I would open it up and look for popped capacitors. If you see as much as one, then trash it and head to the store. [02:15] rdw200169: prior to 10.04 (9.04 specifically) it wasn't in vga mode. [02:16] ace241, you ought to downgrade ub? [02:16] thanks tom_ [02:16] Can anyone help me with my problem involving getting visual effects working on Ubuntu? [02:16] I'll take your advise [02:16] It says "composite extension not available" [02:16] mrpoundsign: are you referring to the host or the vm? (as far as which is 10.04) [02:16] better chance itd work [02:16] rdw200169: the vm [02:17] the host is mac. [02:17] Hey, I have a quarrel to settle on Twitter. [02:17] Does Ubuntu by default install with 2 partitions or 1? === geowany_ is now known as geowany [02:18] so I just rm -rf *'d my home directory. what can I do to get my files back? [02:19] digitxp, not counting swap 1 by default for the linux os. [02:19] I'm on ext4 [02:19] ubuntufoo, you did rm -rf * on your /home from command line? [02:20] tried extundelete, didn't recover all of my files.. trying scalpel, it is taking a very long time to work though.. [02:20] Mr_Sonoma: yes, by accident. it was in my history and I up+entered accidently [02:20] it was my /home/username/ folder [02:20] '~$ aplay /home/detlef/.irssi/sounds/beep_1.au; Playing Sparc Audio '/home/detlef/.irssi/sounds/beep_1.au' : Mu-Law, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono'.But why do I not hear a sound from the built-in T43 Thinkpad loudspeakers? [02:20] e.g. cd ~ [02:21] hi all [02:21] ubuntufoo, afraid there's not much i can help you with aside from to remind you to be careful with the -f switch :( === [WhiteKIBA] is now known as WhiteKIBA [02:22] a lot of things are referncing /etc/default/grub, but that doesn't exist on my install. hmmm [02:22] well does anyone know why zsnes wont show red?? or a reason it wont [02:23] Can anyone help me with my problem involving getting visual effects working on Ubuntu? It says "composite extension not available" [02:23] hazaah, I have done the impossible! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484385 [02:25] digitxp: by default it makes a extended partition and uses / and swap - last i checked [02:25] mrpoundsign [02:25] why would you compile PHP [02:25] ace241: do other programs on linux show 'red' ? [02:25] ThomasB2k: I wouldn't. But more importantly, I no longer have the console going into vga mode. [02:26] 90s [02:26] 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. [02:26] yes === aperson is now known as APERSON === zeeek is now known as Guest11226 [02:27] ThomasB2k: but if I were a php developer, or developing an extension, i might compile php. or if I wanted to make some enhancements. I mean, I think that's one of the points of open source. dpkg does not solve all problems :) [02:27] ace241: You have installed the proper drivers for your video card? It could be your desktop is set to too few colors.. there is ANOTHER snes emulator in the repos also. snes9x I think its called. You could try [02:27] Mr_Sonoma: So without changing any options, Ubuntu uses a swap partition, instead of a file? === DarkJuju is now known as [J] [02:28] digitxp: swap partition by default - yes. === [J] is now known as DarkJuju [02:30] ng [02:30] dang [02:30] that means I lost :( [02:30] ubuntu website suggests against 64 bit version. is this really an issue or is it ok to use? [02:30] How do I change kernels? [02:31] If you know that your machine can run a 64-bit OS, and you don't mind that you have to use a half-way solution with Adobe Flash, I don't see any downsides. [02:31] tom_: ^ [02:31] tom_: it's a debatable issue. 32bit has better support for awkward closed-source products. 64bit is the way forward eventually. which one is right for you really depends on what you need out of it [02:32] Yeah, there are some projects that depend on i386 assembly code that haven't been updated in years that won't work. [02:32] but the 32 bit wont even boot on my machine [02:32] ZSNES is one [02:32] how can I tell what ubuntu i'm running?

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. [02:37] Seppoz: no. sh is linked to dash. [02:37] the symlink of /bin/sh to dash is done by dash [02:37] you can rm /bin/sh, then ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh [02:37] tensorpudding: bad programing on their part from what ive seen with bash/dash isshds [02:37] this is a dumb idea and you should not do it [02:37] ty [02:37] I 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 advise [02:37] just change the shebang [02:37] tensorpudding: that 'dpkg-reconfigure' or update alternatives is the proper way to change the default system shell from dash to bash [02:38] tensorpudding: ive seen some scripts also call 'sh wjhatever' later in the script THAT can also cause issues [02:38] so [02:38] what do i do now?

If I boot with radio off via hardware switch and then enable it after login, it works. If I boot with radio ON, I can't it network manager to enable in any way I've tried. What have I misconfigured? Ubuntu 9.10 on Dell Precision M4300 with Intel Pro Wireless [02:39] you change the alterantive4 for sh to be bash from dash [02:39] Dr_Willis: it's still the programmer's fault [02:40] tensorpudding: Yes.. i agree [02:40] tensorpudding: bad programing on theior part [02:40] im not even sure sh is in the 'alternatives' stuff [02:40] anyone ever used Scalpel? [02:41] Seppoz: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' [02:41] It seems to be encouraging people to write scripts using bash as #!/bin/sh which are secretly non-portable because they aren't POSIX-compliant [02:41] Can 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. [02:42] tensorpudding: 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] tensorpudding: 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 then [02:43] Is there another channel better to ask about wireless configuration in? [02:43] help with bash http://paste.ubuntu.com/472898/ [02:43] Was bash originally designed to be used as a drop-in for /bin/sh? [02:43] got an install behind a corporate proxy, it blocks byte range requests however. As such any hickups in an update and I get "416 Byte-Range Requests Not Allowed" errors, any idea how to tell apt to download from the start rather than trying to resume?

[02:46] er... 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] Because you need the GNU tools to actually use the things. [02:46] its vague for me [02:47] For example, the vast majority of Makefiles seem to require GNU make [02:47] lots of scripts that are otherwise portable that break because they call a command using GNU-only options [02:48] anyone? [02:48] dexi: metacity --replace & [02:48] dexi: I have to check the command in Compiz Settings manager [02:48] k [02:48] tensorpudding, can you rewrite the scripts ?

[03:51] Marc01 :) [03:51] I did a little bit.. [03:51] Can somebody please help me? [03:51] !ask | sharris [03:51] sharris: 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] I asked in here...I actually tried to have someone manually walk me through it..as I didn't want to screw anything up [03:51] arrrghhh, he did ask. [03:51] scroll up. [03:51] Marc01 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 doze [03:51] Haha, I'm in a hotel on the road and the connection sucks otherwise I'd just reinstall lucid lynx real quick [03:51] sharris: add the word "single" to the end of vmlinux command line [03:52] Yeah, I know better, just tired and bad mistake [03:52] it seems like this error has happened a few times before with people..something about windows re-writing the mbr [03:52] rjune_, either way he may need to be more patient [03:52] sharris, When the grub screen comes up, you need to boot single user, [03:52] magicstuff: follow my pm link - after that livecd and recover grub in ubuntu [03:52] arrrghhh, that's valid. but not your first response. [03:52] magicstuff, did windows "fix" anything? [03:52] Can some body answer my question here? http://bit.ly/cjrGN2 [03:52] Sorry, I'm a Linux noob lol can youexplain how to do that? [03:52] magicstuff, i forgot what it's called... windows restore or something. [03:52] sharris, http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub <-- that may be helpful. [03:52] arrrghhh: there were two updates it had to finish methinks [03:53] magicstuff: yes but it is offtopic [03:53] magicstuff, well updates *shouldn't* break it... [03:53] magicstuff, you need to rewrite the mbr in windows? [03:53] Ok thx :) [03:53] Just had a good idea, I'm going to use find [03:53] rjune_: not sure..just wanna get this damn dual boot working [03:53] Generally it's install windows, install linux, done. [03:53] "find / -user >>a.out" Checking for files that the user shouldn't own [03:53] Can some body answer my question here: http://bit.ly/cjrGN2 [03:53] magicstuff, either way, if you don't see grub you'll need to reinstall it. grab that livecd and boot from it. [03:54] Marc01 there you go sounds solid [03:54] arrrghhh: whats the chance that I'll have to do this more than once? [03:54] magicstuff, i've never had to redo this on a proper install. i have several win7 & lucid machines doin just fine. [03:54] Marc01 you know they make these small drives for travelers, you could use one as a back...oops ;-) [03:54] the grub boot loader is saved in the MBR of /dev/sda right? [03:55] then I should try to just do a proper install, no? [03:55] kisuke: Normally, yes [03:55] * gewt lol [03:55] magicstuff, well we need to figure out what is wrong. did you say you saw a grub prompt or not? [03:55] is that the one with linux, memtest, etc? [03:55] matrixblue: even when the main os is stored on /dev/sdb? [03:56] magicstuff: if only problem in mbr and grub - no [03:56] magicstuff, yes. if you installed win7 first & lucid second, you shouldn't have an issue & it *should* have created a link to win7 [03:56] hahaha very funny ;-) [03:56] win7 was installed first..installed ubuntu afterwards [03:57] magicstuff, ok so do you see grub when the system boots? what are the entries? what works, what doesn't? [03:57] kisuke: 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 though [03:57] How can I avoid blank screen in console? [03:57] hola [03:57] magicstuff, 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] arrrghhh: nothing shows now...I only see "no modules found" [03:57] magicstuff: anyway you need a DVD with windoz to repair mbr [03:57] I made it especially bad because I used root:root [03:58] matrixblue: i just left it at the defaut values, with the exception of installing to /dev/sdb [03:58] so the groups are &#(!ed too [03:58] magicstuff, so you reboot the machine and what does it do before that. [03:58] nothing... [03:58] just sees that error [03:58] magicstuff, sometimes it flies by in 3 seconds, and you have to hit esc [03:58] magicstuff, that's the FIRST thing you see when the computer boots? [03:58] kisuke: So I'm guessing you want to find out where the bootloader is? [03:58] magicstuff: Hold shift during boot to get to the grub menu. [03:59] ah didn't know that trick. thanks Jordan_U [03:59] arrrghhh: You're welcome. [03:59] matrixblue: 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 OS [03:59] jordan_u: tried that... "grub loading...no module name found...aborted" === hdon_ is now known as hdon [03:59] kisuke: Normally its stored on the first hard disk (sda) because thats where the BIOS would boot from first in most cases [03:59] magicstuff: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343851 [04:00] kisuke: What is sda used for? [04:00] Marc01 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 solid [04:01] magicstuff, do you have a dell or hp laptop? [04:01] I think from now on I will backup lol [04:01] arrrghhh: look at the link that shadows: just posted..sounds like a problem with dell [04:01] dell laptop..think its the dell datasafe program [04:01] matrixblue: 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] magicstuff, indeed. you need to remove it. [04:01] to remove it I need to get into my win7 machine, right? [04:01] magicstuff, yes. [04:02] is it possible to use my livecd to fix something just so I can get into win7, and then remove dell datasafe stuff? [04:02] hi [04:02] kisuke: It gets mapped that way because of which Sata controller you have it plugged into [04:02] is it possible to move a launcher I create on my desktop to the gnome panel? [04:02] magicstuff, that's exactly what you're going to have to do. [04:03] matrixblue: figured that much, bios has been set to boot from /dev/sdb though, so i just nee to switch [04:03] kisuke: sda is the first one it detects [04:03] patcito drag and drop [04:03] thanks [04:03] kisuke: So the OS is on the 200 GB? [04:03] matrixblue: yes [04:04] anyone know what a good deal on a dedicated server is monthly? 1Gbs connection etc [04:04] kisuke: and the 1.5 TB didn't exist when the OS was installed? [04:05] bot initaly and survived 2 reinstalls of windows. [04:05] magicstuff: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [04:05] matrixblue: not initaly and survived 2 reinstalls of windows. [04:06] kisuke: I/m assuming after these windows re-installs you had to re-install Grub manually [04:06] I 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] Are 2.5 and 3.5 IDE drives the same as far as connection points? [04:06] Ditto 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] Wolfwalker_Prime: No [04:06] magicstuff: 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. [04:07] matrixblue: it just got religated from desktop to home server, so now installing ubuntu, and getting winxp boot loader error messages [04:07] yeah it some bs [04:08] kisuke: I didn't quite understand your last message [04:09] Is there any way to install the old vulnerable 64-bit flash? It worked on a number of files that the current setup does not, and I run noscript and pick trusted flash apps only, so I don't need to worry about the vulnerability... [04:09] matrixblue: it was as of about 2 days ago, my main PC, how ever sence i got a new one, the position of the PC in question got changed to "home server" and as part of the jop change it gets ubuntu installed, *looks at sentence* taht loook clearer to you, or is my horrible grammer getting to me? [04:11] i have a /home/user/torrents directory chmodded to 777 but my rutorrent webpage can't get read write access [04:11] how can I fix this? [04:11] I was editing button images for emerald and it seems like Compiz has completely stopped working... the whole thing... im so lost [04:11] kisuke: It wasn't grammar or anything. Just wasn't sure what you meant exactly. Does it boot as is right now? [04:11] If i type "emerald --replace &" into terminal it just replies "10300" [04:12] !emerald | dexi [04:12] dexi: 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] Jordan_U, ok [04:12] also, when I installed ubuntu should I have used ext3 or ext4? [04:12] Jordan_U, more importantly -Compiz- is not working at all [04:12] the commands are all set, and enabled, but none of them function [04:12] matrixblue: 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. [04:13] kisuke: I agree [04:13] matrixblue: kk thanksa [04:13] magicstuff, 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. [04:14] arrrghhh: you know if the missing data bugs with ext4 got fixed? [04:15] kisuke, not sure, like i said i haven't run into any issues with ext4. [04:15] shadows, any idea what could cause ccsm to completely stop functioning? [04:15] kisuke, do you have any bugs for references? [04:15] I'm running new install Ubuntu 206.32-24 and the X system seems to crash a lot, only keys that function are Control-Alt-Delete, happens especially with regard to screensavers, anyone have a clue how to fix it ? [04:16] arrrghhh: its been nearly a year sence i looked,i beleve it was right around the time karmic came out, ther was a sticky about it in the forums [04:16] dexi: videocard. you can't use compiz cube? Try to turn the settings on again. [04:16] matrixblue: I am still getting that error [04:16] yes, cube and emerald both stopped running as well as the rest of the settings, which all appear to be turned on [04:17] dexi: honestly probably I have no exact ideas [04:17] kisuke, i don't see it.... [04:17] ubuntu__: This is odd [04:17] shadows, maybe i'll restart, see what happens [04:17] dexi: turn them on again [04:17] arrrghhh: let me see if i can dig it up again. [04:17] shadows, i unchecked and rechecked the boxes, still nothing [04:18] ubuntu__: send the pastebin again please [04:18] dexi, any reason you're trying to use emerald? [04:18] dexi: can't say anything [04:18] have a printer problem: CUPS print spooler not running after boot up. How to fix? Printer troubleshooter says to find service under Sys>Admin>Services, but Services not in my menu. [04:18] arrrghhh, It's all i know of, lol. Do you have a better suggestion? [04:18] Is there any way to install the old vulnerable 64-bit flash? It worked on a number of files that the current setup does not, and I run noscript and pick trusted flash apps only, so I don't need to worry about the vulnerability... [04:19] dexi, well what does ubuntu use default... metacity? [04:19] ubuntu__: try running sudo apt-get purge firefox-3.5-branding [04:19] arrrghhh, i believe [04:19] dexi, you could use the dark side and run kwin :D [04:19] maurer_: https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/%2Barchive/flash [04:19] Last night.... [04:20] ubuntu__: try running sudo apt-get purge firefox-branding [04:20] arrrghhh: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/linux/+bug/317781 looks like it got fixed though [04:20] arrrghhh, dark side? lol im not familiar with much in the way of linux so i probably won't get the reference you're making there [04:20] I was talking to someone about translating freevial [04:20] His name here was tim [04:20] dexi: using emerald¿¿ then Alt+F2 > write > emerald --replace > hit enter [04:20] is it possible to install mymedia on Lucid? [04:20] dexi, sorry. kde vs gnome, always been a polarizing argument. [04:20] arrrghhh: I will ask you to respect KDE [04:20] shadows, i prefer it. [04:20] ? [04:20] Ddorda: is that a linux program¿ [04:21] arrrghhh: yes yes not so ideal [04:21] arrrghhh, ah, yeah ok that much i understand, lol, so KWIN is a KDE themer? [04:21] xangua: it's a python2.4 program [04:21] i have a /home/user/torrents directory chmodded to 777 but my rutorrent webpage can't get read write access [04:21] how can I fix this? [04:21] dexi, it's the default one kde uses for window effects since they just started using them in kde4. [04:21] xangua, nothing happened [04:22] Ddorda: you will need to manualy install python 2.4 i believe [04:22] dexi: are you running compiz¿¿ [04:22] you can't use emerald without compiz [04:22] xangua, yes [04:23] i'm trying to create a virtual host under apache, but i'm getting cannot bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 error [04:23] side-note my audio works fine but the quality is very distorted... that wouldn't be a driver issue, would it? [04:23] i don't want to make it public or anything, just want to keep it locally [04:23] dexi: and you have already installed/selected an emerald theme¿¿ [04:24] xangua, yes, it worked for a bit, then while editing the theme .png file, compiz/emerald crashed and just stopped working [04:24] dexi, that's random. so how is your audio working fine then? :P anyhoo, do you mean internal laptop speakers? there could be many things, does the audio sound fine in other operating systems? [04:24] dexi: then try other them or reinstall your current one [04:24] and leave it as it is [04:25] !emerald | dexi [04:25] dexi: 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. [04:25] lol [04:25] jordan_u: thanks, first part done...getting into windows now [04:26] ZykoticK9, someone already said that [04:26] Jeaton: is it the vhost thats giving you that error? [04:26] dexi, you're going to get that a lot. emerald is very unsupported, so don't expect support for it. [04:26] dexi, sorry i didn't notice it [04:26] arrrghhh, yes the audio sounds fine on windows, and its through a creative pci-e to external 5.1 [04:26] dexi, almost certainly drivers then. [04:26] ubuntu__: I have to go now. But try removing the firefox branding package and try all the steps I gave you earlier again. Best of luck! [04:26] sweetpi - when im trying to reload apache after I try to create a vhost [04:27] apache was working fine before [04:27] its cool arrrghhh and ZykoticK9, i see how it goes. any known alternatives (granted the info says not)? [04:27] dexi, already gave you my suggestions. [04:27] Jeaton: how are you specifying the vhost? [04:27] I remember seeing KWIN lol [04:27] I'm running new install Ubuntu 2.6.32-24 and the X system seems to crash a lot, only keys that function are Control-Alt-Delete, happens especially with regard to screensavers, anyone have a clue how to fix it ? [04:27] that was a serious suggestion? [04:28] dexi, if you want to check out kde, do "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop" [04:28] matrixblue: it gives a pretty nasty warning. Should I go ahead with it? [04:28] KDE has never worked for me... it seems to make everything fail [04:28] visually ^ [04:28] I prefer gnome [04:28] I installed Ubuntu "over" Windows XP through Wubi. Then I installed "xubuntu-desktop" package, later downloading updates avaiable for Ubuntu itself. Now, whenever I boot up, a menu shows up enabling me to choose between Ubuntu and Windows XP. If I choose Ubuntu, it displays another menu with 4 avaiable "Ubuntu's", Windows XP and Vector Linux. I wish I could reduce all this to the first menu and change the time required to choose autom [04:28] atically to 4 secs instead of 20+ secs. [04:28] dexi, uh... ok? then deal with metacity. [04:29] hope it were clear enough [04:31] Jeaton: pastebin your vhost config, sounds like something is already running on 80 though. maybe try stop/start instead of restart [04:31] If I'm setting a static IP via network manager, do I need "search domains" filled out? [04:31] have a printer problem: CUPS print spooler not running after boot up. How to fix? Printer troubleshooter says to find service under Sys>Admin>Services, but Services not in my menu 10.04 [04:31] Ok so, forgetting emerald, is compiz itself still "Supported"? [04:31] dexi, yes compiz is fine. [04:33] My laptop [04:34] RPG-Master, not your laptop! [04:34] My laptop's display looks really blue. How do I go about changing it's color tempature? [04:34] arrrghhh: Stupid enter key :P [04:34] ZykoticK9, so... that, after a restart, is still broken [04:34] RPG-Master, haha sorry. trying to think what's in the default display settings... usually very little. [04:35] dexi, in a terminal see if "compiz --replace" gives any error. sounds like it might be a graphics card issue. [04:35] RPG-Master, check this out - http://www.ubuntufieldmanual.com/?q=node/38 [04:35] ZykoticK9, that got it running [04:35] ZykoticK9, but if i close the terminal itll break again, right? [04:36] dexi, don't think so === malvo is now known as wootz [04:36] dexi, you might want to install fusion-icon to get a try icon to select and/or restart compiz/metacity [04:36] s/try icon/tray icon [04:37] ZykoticK9, no we're back up and running, thanks tho that sounds useful === magicstuff_ is now known as magicstuff [04:37] dexi ZykoticK9 Alt+F2 > emerald --replace [04:37] compiz --replace *** [04:37] xangua, thanks but everything is fuctioning now [04:38] dexi: i am just saying use the launcher instead the terminal [04:38] ZykoticK9, i did an apt-get for that, i dont see anything though [04:39] dexi, in a terminal try "apt-cache search fusion-icon" [04:39] ZykoticK9, sorry, bad phrasing, the apt-get worked, but afterwards, i see nothing [04:40] live CD gui crashed when chrooted into existing install and doing a dist-upgrade... wtf? [04:40] dexi, Applications / System Tools / Fusion icon or "fusion-icon" from Alt+f2 or terminal === malvo is now known as malvnb [04:40] Strange laptop wireless problem... If I boot with radio off via hardware switch and then enable it after login, it works. If I boot with radio ON, I can't it network manager to enable in any way I've tried. What have I misconfigured? Ubuntu 9.10 on Dell Precision M4300 with Intel Pro Wireless [04:41] anyone ever experienced that? [04:41] ah thanks [04:41] texastwister: I've noticed hardware switches always act a bit funny [04:41] Is there a keyboard shortcut that can be used to get the console output during startup of a 10.04 LiveCD? [04:42] ZykoticK9, do you by chance know if theres a way to get programs to launch on startup and go to a specifc desktop? [04:42] why does it say 64-bit ubuntu is not recommended for daily desktop use? [04:43] hi === Niglop is now known as asdsdfsdf === asdsdfsdf is now known as Niglop [04:43] how do i reinstall the bootloader grub? [04:43] dexi, to launch on startup - system / preferences / Startup applications -- but no way i know of to determine virtual desktop sorry. [04:43] nphase, it used to not be, but so far it seems fine to me (as of 10.04) [04:43] dexi: aha. cool, thanks [04:43] i just installed ubuntu and i dont think that it installed the bootload onto the correct drive... [04:43] nphase: probably mostly a legacy recommendation from when 64-bit was a little buggy with spotty driver support, etc. [04:43] texastwister: sure [04:43] nphase: I've been on 64 bit only for over a year with no complaints [04:43] nphase, in my opinion it's a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [04:44] ZykoticK9, thanks, i guess i just need to learn where the executables are [04:44] ? [04:44] dexi, where is less important then the fact that they are in your PATH ;) [04:45] cause the boot flag was on for the wrong hdd [04:45] and wasnt on for the one i installed it onto [04:45] any suggestions? [04:46] If I'm setting a static IP via network manager, do I need "search domains" filled out? [04:46] ZykoticK9, haha well either way, i dont know what to do on the "Command" line in the startup apps window [04:47] dexi, what are you trying to run? [04:47] Gwibber [04:47] chrome [04:47] possibly xchat, and banshee, but those are secondary [04:48] dexi, use the "which" command like, "which gwibber" or "which google-chrome"? or "which chromium-browser" to find full paths to stuff. [04:48] Howdy! 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 work [04:48] thanks [04:48] chmod a-x filename* [04:49] Patrickdk is that what's missing? [04:49] what is chmod -x then? [04:49] econdudeawesome, Patrickdk's command is correct, just be aware that "a-x" is All or Everyone - executable [04:49] well, -x does nothing [04:49] you need a flag to change, user=u, group=g, other=o, a=all [04:49] will 10.04/64 recognize my NEC usb3 ports? (I have a gigabyte P55-USB3 motherboard for what its worth) [04:50] ZykoticK9, Patrickdk, it didn't work. Root is the owner--do I need to run as sudo? [04:51] yes [04:51] econdudeawesome, yes, if root owns it [04:51] econdudeawesome, is this a file or a directory BTW? [04:51] ZykoticK9 I'm attempting to apply it to files... is this only for directories? [04:52] econdudeawesome, just be aware that if it's a directory that executable mean you can enter the directory (kinda important) [04:52] econdudeawesome, it's for both [04:52] i ctrl,+alt+Fx to a terminal, and when i do ctrl+alt+F7 i get just a black screen, its still there after restarting, any idea whats wrong? [04:52] I love how desktop cube interprets speed and will have a rubber-band effect if you hold the button and spin it fast then let go... ha [04:52] ZykiticK9 okay. It's still not working though... guess I gotta do files individually :-) [04:53] kisuke, what about F8 instead of F7? [04:53] !tab > econdudeawesome [04:53] econdudeawesome, please see my private message [04:53] econdudeawesome, "for file in *; do chmod a-x $file; done" might work - if you want EVERYTHING [04:53] k [04:54] ZykoticK9: didnt try that, how ever i only had one sessions ope, so should not have worked, let me reboot and try that, i would kill for a KVM switch right now [04:54] ZykoticK9: thanks [04:54] ok my dual boot is working once again...stupid dell software breaking stuf [04:54] ZykoticK9: for the tab shortcut [04:54] stuff [04:54] Good Morning!! :) [04:54] ZykoticK9: what is $file exactly? === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [04:55] econdudeawesome, that is a variable that will be replaced by each filename/directory in the present directory [04:55] hi - 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?

[05:08] thanks ilovefairuz, I'll try that. [05:08] without the quotes I assume? [05:08] tesuji, swap will shorten the life of the stick [05:09] where is the better file to set enviroment variables? [05:09] magicstuff: yes [05:09] ~/.bashrc ? [05:09] ZykoticK9, i am going to be using it on a laptop that has no harddisk and only 384M ram [05:09] so the file name is b43.comf, right? [05:09] mfilipe: yeah stick them there [05:09] magicstuff: b43,conf actually [05:09] tesuji, that isn't a whole lot of memory... you "might" want some swap - it's up to you though. [05:09] ilovefairuz, thanks :) [05:10] magicstuff: b43.conf my fingers are off today [05:10] ok did that [05:10] do I have to restart? [05:11] magicstuff: yes [05:11] ZykoticK9, ok i found the boot loader option. it is asking "device for boot loader installation" - i presume this is where to write the boot loader? should it be /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 ? [05:11] magic, that should be it, un less im missing the step to actually load the module [05:12] tesuji, assuming the USB is sdb then /dev/sdb --- the sdb1 is a parition you DON'T want that, you want it on MBR of drive. [05:12] about to test it..here goes [05:12] ilovefairuz: Should that be in the repositories? Not finding it... [05:12] argh.. [05:12] texastwister: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/rfkill [05:12] kisuke: now there is no wireless thing in the dropdown menu [05:13] ZykoticK9, well i didn't do that last time... fingers Xed this works now [05:13] ilovefairuz: thanks. [05:13] ZykoticK9: what all do you have to do to get a module to load on boot?, just put .conf or am i missing a step? [05:13] kisuke, sorry i don't know for sure - not something i typically have to do. good luck man. [05:13] magicstuff: goto a terminal and enter "sudo modprobe b43" i missed a step, [05:14] I'm there [05:14] ZykoticK9: i got him fixed except for5 loading the module on boot. === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [05:14] magicstuff: did that fix it? [05:14] hey guys, hwen I remote into my ubuntu machine, the second time the keybard / mouse start acting funny until I restart. i.e. Mouse clicks of buttons do not register and typing in the terminal start running commands instead of typing... what could be happening? [05:14] kisuke, perhaps it just has to be added to /etc/modules [05:15] I wanting to hide files/directories in my USB flash drive, so as when I plug it on Windows platform, the hidden content not to be shown by-default... I knew adding a dot (.) at the starting of file/directory name, but it works with Linux only! :( [05:15] i.e. typing "f" in termainl opens the file menu hrrmpf [05:15] ZykoticK9: thanks, i dont remember what i did to do that yet. [05:15] seems like alt is pressed in? [05:15] f#ck:http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/7739/screenshot1gl.png [05:15] magicstuff: you there? [05:15] fatal: error inserting b43 (/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko): unknown symbol in module, or unknown paramter [05:16] thats a nice wallpaper [05:16] vishal: you could do some stenography tricks (like stuffing a rar inside a JPG) [05:16] post just the wallpaper [05:16] magic, what does the /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf say? just copy and paste it here. [05:17] heh, I shove all kinds of stuff inside of mp3's and other things [05:17] in the audio of mp3's [05:17] options b43 pio=1 qos=0 [05:17] magicstuff: what does the /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf say? just copy and paste it here. [05:18] vishal, the easy way to hide stuff on windows, using usb drive, is to just use any partition other than partition 1 :) [05:18] magicstuff: check to see if you have compat wireless installed. [05:18] kisuke: here options b43 pio=1 qos=3 [05:18] windows only mounts and looks at the first partition on flash drives [05:18] Ubuntu has a command to list the uuid's of my partitions but I forgot what is was, can anyone help me out? [05:18] how do I do that? [05:18] magicstuff: NVM change the 3 to a 1 [05:18] randomseed: blkid [05:19] Can 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. [05:19] anyone else having choppy flash video on ubuntu 10.04 with the nvidia drivers and an ION video card? [05:19] magic excuse me 0 [05:19] and save the file as b41.conf as well, or doesit not matter? [05:19] magicstuff: excuse me 0 [05:19] ilovefairuz, Yep, it's the optional way though... But I wanting the method of modifying file, so as on windows, the file will be not shown directly before showing it manually... [05:19] ilovefairuz, thanks [05:19] so [05:19] options b40 pio=1 qos=0 ? [05:19] Patrickdk, on USB or on hdd? [05:19] slangevi, choppy flash video is not limited to either nvidia or Ubuntu 10.04. Best of luck man. [05:20] magic, it needs tto be saved as /etc/modules/modprobe.d/b43.conf [05:20] on any usb flash drive [05:20] windows will only mount the #1 partition [05:20] so that leave you with #2-4 to use as you wish, and windows will never be able to access them [05:20] vishal: security by obscurity is a huge fail [05:20] ok [05:20] I figured as much. Thanks ZykoticK9 [05:20] ZykoticK9: not so sure, I run 10.04 and nvidia and my flash is about the same as on windows [05:21] ZykoticK9: as in good [05:21] ilovefairuz, I use it a lot, mainly so I can have stuff on my flash drive, like a ubuntu live boot, but still use it in windows, without worry of a *user* messing it up [05:21] syslq, trust me, flash on Linux is NOT as good as on Windows/Mac/or even Solaris... sad but true :(... [05:21] syslq was that an ION nvidia card? [05:21] SubCool: only if you are using a psudo- network adapter for the VPN [05:21] Patrickdk: well that's not security, just noob-proofing [05:21] slangevi: nope, 8400gs [05:22] magicstuff: got it? [05:22] kisuke: just tried a sudo gedit /etc/modules/modprobe.d/b43.conf [05:22] wont let me write to a file [05:22] ZykoticK9: I can not notice a difference but then I only use flash to watch youtube [05:22] ZykoticK9: and redtube and gitporn [05:22] syslq, personally i'm ok with my flash on 10.04 64bit even... [05:22] magicstuff: use gksudo in this case, it will open a gui gedit with superuser priviledges [05:22] ilovefairuz, oh, anyway thanks sir! [05:23] ZykoticK9: html5 will take care of that issue anyway :) [05:23] kisuke: didn't work "could not get info for file://" [05:23] syslq, i've used Youtube's HTML5 - it's ok. [05:23] Mhm [05:23] error stating file 'path' not a directory [05:23] syslq do you notice high cpu usage when viewing flash? [05:24] slangevi, i certainly do [05:24] magicstuff: just use "gksudo gedit" and open the file through gedit [05:24] slangevi: lemme check [05:24] how can i use the ubuntu install cd to reinstall grub? [05:24] I get over 80% and that doesn't seem right. [05:24] plz :) [05:24] kisuke, FYI you can use "gksu" instead of "gksudo" to save 2 letters each time you type it. a good admin, is a lazy admin ;) [05:24] magicstuff you should be right to go if you install the bcmwl-kernel-source package. Moreover if you have no internet connection its on the install cd, add it as a repository...... [05:24] ok, here's a screenshot of my /var/log/messages after a reboot from ubuntu freezing on me http://imagebin.org/108037 any ideas? [05:24] kisuke: is it a problem that there is no modules directory? [05:25] RealOpty: boot live cd and pastebin: sudo fdisk -l [05:25] RealOpty: you can try supergrub disk, they have a beta version that may work with grub2 [05:25] kisuke, nano is best instead of opening any GUI-based editor, eh? [05:25] I'm thinking it's not using hardware acceleration for some reason [05:25] ilovefairuz, tell me command plz :) i can figure out what hdd it is [05:25] Good night ... I have problems with my notebook I have installed Xubuntu 9.10 and when I start I only can access the screen in recovery mode, does somebody know what can be wrong?? [05:25] vishal: im not cli savy enough to have used it. [05:25] if u wanna know its /dev/sdb [05:25] xangua: RealOpty: Super GRUB2 Disk is not beta :) [05:25] magicstuff: the folder is modprobe.d [05:25] slangevi, no hardware acceleration for flash in linux yet [05:26] slangevi: yes, it's 30% [05:26] "kisuke> magic, it needs tto be saved as /etc/modules/modprobe.d/b43.conf" [05:26] ubuntu installed grug to the wrong hdd [05:26] ZykoticK9 oh really? Crap. I thought flash 10 added it [05:26] i dont wanna have to reinstall agian for the 4th time lol [05:26] slangevi, for mplayer you can use VDPAU for nvidia-hardware for videos [05:26] RealOpty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [05:26] ty [05:27] magicstuff: one sec, i need to double check the directory on my ubuntu box [05:27] slangevi, not sure about the flash 10 part - but i know this isn't a linux supported feature yet. [05:27] That won't help me for hulu unfortunately [05:28] ilovefairuz, thanks for doing the grunt work for me. i just dont have the patients to search any more... (im starting to feel like those people on the bing commercial) [05:28] RealOpty: bing, bing, bingle the internet kids you mean? [05:28] RealOpty: you're welcome, i walk people through these steps here a lot [05:28] nah that stupid microsoft search engine commercial [05:29] kisuke, just give a try to it, it's great! You can use navigation keys to navigate through the file which is been opened for editing, as well it displays different color as per for different language/script styles, for saving ctrl+o and for quiting ctrl+x.... Try any document using "eg. nano test".... [05:30] vishal: vim ftw [05:30] vishal: nano is for kids [05:30] syslq, extended version of vi, right? [05:31] vishal: yeah sure, vi it'self is boring [05:31] ok, i installed ubuntu on my Alienware Area-51m Laptop and it keeps freezing, so i installed ubuntu studio on it now and its still freezing, heres a screenshot of the lshw after a reboot http://imagebin.org/108037 [05:31] vim is vi improved [05:31] any ideas? [05:31] Though the improved part is arguable [05:31] vishal: vi is in posex btw, you'll have it in any unix system [05:31] ดี [05:31] sharris: pastebin the output of lshw [05:31] vishal: posix, sorry [05:31] vishal: more likly to try vim again [05:31] Anyone have experience working with WebDAV? [05:31] Can someone help me with an issue involving virtualbox? Its a little complicated. [05:31] vishal: im a keyboard monkey [05:31] sharris: as text not an image [05:32] hey guys, my cronjob is not working.. . it works on two machines but not on the 3rd. I have edit the /etc/crontab file the exact same way and cron seems to be urnning hmm [05:32] Artel, whats your issue? I use VirtualBoX all the time. [05:32] Artel, Whaddya need? [05:32] something is supposed to be done every 5 minutes but nada [05:32] magicstuff: sorry about the wait, my VM is taking forever [05:32] sharris: lshw | pastebinit - [05:32] I installed Oracle Virtualbox (not open source version) from their website, and it was working [05:32] but then some stuff came up and I ended up stupidly deleting the vboxusers group or something [05:32] vi is less omnipresent than ed [05:32] im a linux noob, how do i do that? [05:32] so then I tried to add it back and it still wouldn't work [05:32] can anybody help me with booting windows xp from a external usb with grub? [05:32] so I installed Virtualbox-ose and it removed the Oracle virtualbox or something [05:33] sharris: use the command i've just type [05:33] ok [05:33] then I reinstalled oracle virtualbox and now I'm getting some weird error [05:33] even after reinstalling several times. [05:33] wat do? o.O [05:33] whats the error? [05:33] It worked before [05:33] but I did something to screw it up and I don't know how to fix it...heh [05:33] kisuke: no problem [05:33] Artel: please, all in one line [05:33] It said like [05:33] syslq, kisuke: Yeah, I used to use vim though... But I'm impressed w/ this nano nowadays bit more... Btw, thank you folks! :) [05:34] failed to open session, and then Kernal driver not installed [05:34] It tells me to type in the command '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' but when I do it gives me "No such file or directory." Any suggestions on where to go from here? [05:34] ilovefairuz, worked like a charm [05:34] thanks =agian [05:35] -+ [05:35] -= [05:35] Artel, First things first. Decide on if your using OSE or the "normal" version [05:35] Artel: does executing "locate vboxdrv" do anything? [05:35] I currently have the normal version installed [05:36] anybody knows what to do when you get an exit status 254 when trying to connect via ssh? (logs you out immediatly) [05:36] Artel, do you have the linux headers installed for your current kernel [05:36] codeshah: what's the output of 'atq', also check, man at [05:36] ZykoticK9, it booted!! but i have to interrupt the boot to feed it a grub option - i pressed esc and e repeatedly and it didn't hear me - what do i need to do? [05:36] r4zorw0lf: I type that in and it doesn't do anything. just gives me a new line [05:36] F2Knight: What is that? [05:36] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [05:36] how to read .ocf extension file in ubuntu 9.10 [05:36] magicstuff: ok my fingers went crazy is what it was (i need more coffee :D) the full path for the file is: /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf [05:37] F2Knight: Yes, it is installed [05:37] is there a channel for dual booting? [05:37] or grub? [05:37] magicstuff: and the contents of the file should be (with out the quotes): "options b43 pio=1 qos=0" [05:37] Artel, 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 install [05:37] can anyone tell me how to interrupt a boot so as to use a boot option? [05:37] ok... [05:37] magicstuff: got all that? [05:38] vaibhav: what program did you use to open them before? [05:38] vaibhav have you done a google search about how to open ocf extension in ubuntu ? [05:38] just a second [05:38] whats that desktop manager called thats really lightweight? [05:38] !pm | stein_ [05:38] stein_: 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. [05:38] ok, here's the pastebinit url for the freezes: http://pastebin.com/8wGLSaXT [05:38] !details | disturbed [05:38] disturbed: 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 ..." [05:38] F2Knight: It said I have the headers installed on the terminal. What should I do from here? [05:38] kisuke: thats what I did the first tiome [05:38] murlidhar: ya i googled but not able to find [05:38] can anyone tell me how to interrupt a boot so as to use a boot option? [05:38] any videojoiner available for linux ? [05:39] tesuji: press shit and wait [05:39] I'm having problems booting windows xp off a external hd using grub [05:39] ilovefairuz, is it possible to disable compiz? and/or make gnome more lightweight? [05:39] Artel, what is the error you get exactly ,, pastebin the output please [05:39] I'm going to reboot to see if anyting magically happened kisuke: [05:39] ilovefairuz: i didn't opened any file with .ocf as extension [05:39] u can disable options in compiz [05:39] RealOpty: i use metacity not compiz (and with the 'reduced_resources' option enabled) [05:39] Yadira, pitivi is given by-default with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx version, give it a try... [05:40] vaibhav: what are these files about? what do you use them for? [05:41] sharris: sudo pastebinit /var/log/messages [05:41] ilovefairuz, the other machine im using only has 512mb ram so i wanna try and conserive as much resources as possible. whats the desktop manager name that starts with 'x' or somethin lol? [05:41] ilovefairuz: it's an ebook format [05:41] not gnome, not kde, hmmm [05:41] ilovefairuz, ok it says "error: hd0,1 out of disk. grub rescue>" now what? [05:41] magicstuff: let me know if it works now. [05:41] nope [05:41] RealOpty, use metacity or openbox, if your hardware not supporting compiz, though it's the best than anyone! [05:41] RealOpty: so use metacity then [05:41] F2Knight: http://pastebin.com/z4Kvg6qB [05:41] when I click on the wireless thing at the top right corner...I just see wired network [05:41] Yadira: kdenlive is the only "decent" non linear video editor on linux as far as I'm concirned and runs fine in gnome too [05:41] there isn't even a enable wireless tab anymore [05:42] tesuji: what are you trying to do ? [05:42] kk [05:42] Yadira: pitivi has no effects/transitions it's only cut/cut [05:42] oh now i remember [05:42] its called xubuntu [05:42] F2Knight: When I execute the code on a terminal, it says: bash: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: No such file or directory [05:42] what was the gdm it used>? [05:42] i dont want to cut [05:42] magicstuff: try "sudo modprobe b43" in a treminal again please. [05:42] just add [05:43] list the output of this command sudo ls -l /etc/init.d/v* [05:43] error inserting b43 uknown symbol in module, or known paramter [05:43] Artel, list the output of this command sudo ls -l /etc/init.d/v* [05:43] ilovefairuz, 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 properly [05:44] ilovefairuz: Exactly what I was thinking! [05:44] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/Vxsr7zsw [05:44] F2Knight: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11116 2010-06-25 09:11 /etc/init.d/vboxdrv.dpkg-bak [05:44] syslq, I'm having openshot, avidemux also with pitivi, but not so impressed with anyone of these apps...

[05:45] metacity is installed [05:45] ilovefairuz, how do i change over to metacity [05:45] devede [05:45] Artel, looks like you have the OSE installed [05:45] magicstuff: open up synaptic and search for compat wireless [05:45] ilovefairuz, and the reason why i have to do that is ubuntu does not autodetect intel video :( :( :( [05:45] tesuji: Edit your grub menu.lst and add "VGA=733" to the end of your kernel line [05:46] F2Knight: But I just uninstalled it from the software center. [05:46] RealOpty, Applications -> Other -> Metacity [05:46] whompapotamus, i MUST interrupt the boot process or it will never get booted! please tell me how to interrupt the boot [05:46] kisuke...couldn't find compat wireless [05:47] ilovefairuz: Was a little late responding - but relating to ilovefairuz question [05:47] vishal, its not there ;p [05:47] magicstuff: one sec and i will get the ppa, [05:47] Artel, 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] and when i run it from the cmmand line it says that somethings in use' [05:47] Hi, I've been using ubuntu for over a year now and everything worked nice. Now, I try to start my computer and ubuntu can not boot, it brings me to a busybox prompt (command line), someone knows this problem ? [05:47] F2Knight: Is there a way I can simply clean everything to the way it was before I messed with Virtualbox, so I can just reinstall it? Because it worked before I messed around with the groups and installed multiple versions of it. [05:47] ppa? [05:47] can anyone tell me how to interrupt the boot so i can enter an option to grub? [05:47] tesuji: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command%20Line%20and%20Rescue%20Mode [05:47] magicstuff: you on lucid? [05:47] RealOpty, If you not find it in other, then right click on Applications menu and select edit option and check over metacity in other sub-menu, and then try the procedure given above... [05:48] whompapotamus: i had no questions [05:48] yeah I'm on lucid [05:48] Artel, your best bet is to purge the software at this point. [05:48] vishal, just did that [05:48] vishal, and once agian nothin happens [05:48] ahh [05:48] herses the message [05:48] F2Knight: How do I purge it? [05:48] Artel, make sure you get the right stuff first do a aptitude search virtualbox [05:49] screen :0 already has a window manager [05:49] hmm [05:49] magicstuff: "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic" in a terminal please [05:49] * RealOpty trys replace optionm [05:49] ilovefairuz: I fat fingered my phones irc name list - was meant for another user - sorry [05:49] F2Knight: I have alot of results. do I purge them all one by one? [05:49] kk that worked. [05:49] so will it always revert to metacity? [05:49] ilovefairuz: here's the pastebin http://pastebin.com/Vxsr7zsw [05:49] sharris: i'm looking into it [05:50] ok :) [05:50] could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock [05:50] RealOpty, my suggestion worked or not?

[05:50] magicstuff: close synaptic and try it again. [05:51] Artel, the usual backup your data warnings apply [05:51] oh no kidding :D [05:51] GAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! MY TAB KEY IS ON VACATION!!!!! /vent ok im done [05:51] RealOpty, It's by-default for now afterwards until you change it others like compiz or openbox!

[05:52] F2Knight: Purging. Thanks :D === [J] is now known as DarkJuju [05:53] F2Knight: I'm relogging. I might come back later if it doesn't work. [05:53] kisuke: every single box...on updates sa well? [05:53] as* [05:53] Artel, no prob. just check the /etc/init.d/ folder first to make sure the files are removed. if not you will have to remove them by hand [05:54] magicno just the 4 on the first pagoe really, universe, multiverse, and the other 2, source code is up to you. [05:54] kk [05:54] ty [05:54] magicstuff: no just the 4 on the first pagoe really, universe, multiverse, and the other 2, source code is up to you. [05:55] ok checked everything [05:55] ilovefairuz, how do i use the lightweight option u were saying? [05:55] sharris: i can't put my finger on anything in particular, but i suspect nouveau is the culprit, have you install the blob nvidia driver? [05:55] ps aux | grep [05:55] mm wrong keyboard [05:56] RealOpty, lol [05:56] magic, close it, it will ask you about reloading, dont remember the exact text right this minutes, just click no, we will do that in the next step. [05:56] vishal, i logged out and back in and compiz is now running ;p [05:56] magicstuff: lest me know when you have that done [05:56] thats done [05:56] RealOpty: install gconf-editor, then open apps > metacity > general, you'll find it listed [05:56] ilovefairuz: i havent installed any drivers yet. I thought thats what the problem was when i had regular ubuntu installed [05:56] ilovefairuz, ty [05:57] Can i have a PCI Express Nvidia 8600 GT and a nVidia MX4000 (PCI) running on the same system? They use two different driver versions, so i'm thinking i won't be able to use Twinview? [05:57] sharris: well try the closed driver and see [05:57] can you tell my noobness how to do that? :D [05:58] magicstuff: in a terminal: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic" this will update you package lists, update the packages on you system to the newest avalible, and install compat-wireless. [05:58] F2Knight, It works! Thank you!! [05:58] Artel, NP Glad to help [05:58] F2Knight, I was frustrated because I thought removing would remove everything. I didn't know about purge. [05:59] sharris: system > administration > hardware drivers [05:59] F2Knight: One other thing though. My USB devices on Virtualbox are grayed out. How do I fix that? [05:59] Artel, Add your user name to the vboxusers group [05:59] magicstuff: and let me know when that finishes. [05:59] RealOpty, Look, at the time of Logging, you can see a bar at the bottom at the time of time of typing password, choose your session manager as metacity and you'll done... If this not work, then you nedd to take help of other! :) [06:00] sharris: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia has many tips if something went wrong [06:00] Artel, you will have to logout and log back in afterwards [06:00] magicstuff: might be a couple minutes [06:00] ilovefairuz: i cant get to the desktop... it will freeze before i can do anything, that is if i can actually make it to the desktop before the freeze beats me to it :P [06:00] vishal, thanks [06:00] im just gonna uninstall compiz [06:00] see if that works :) [06:00] ok, so i have a really old game that i want to try ot play in wine. I currently have the iso mounted to try to install, but wine is complaining about the file not being executable. I am not sure how I am supposed to change any perms since its a non writable iso [06:00] kisuke: don't think it worked [06:01] Can someone help me find the cause of my boot problem please ? [06:01] ilovefairuz: im in recovery mode right now... only way i can run these commands, lol [06:01] bunch of failed to fetches...and "couldn't find package information" [06:01] bruno24, what's the problem? [06:01] magicstuff why? [06:02] why what? [06:02] marks256: it always booted right for one year, and today, it brings me to a busybox shell [06:02] sharris: well then follow the commands in the 'common issues' section [06:02] magicstuff: dont you thik it worked? [06:02] marks256: it says my file system doesnt exist [06:03] bruno24, which file system does it say doesn't exist? root? [06:03] marks256: now I was able to boot with the live cd, and I would like to know what I have to do to fix it [06:03] kisuke: for one, there is no compat wireless in the package manager [06:04] wow. removing compiz gave me all my memory back :) [06:04] now my machine is running like it should [06:04] marks256: maybe I should try to boot and write down what it says, then come back and show it to you ? [06:04] bruno24, mind if i start a private thread? [06:04] I'm having trouble setting up samba 3 to act as a domain controller for Windows 7, could anyone guide me through the process? [06:04] marks256: no problem [06:04] I thought I setup my smb.conf correctly, but when I try to join the domain Windows 7 is saying that there's no DC [06:04] bruno24, k. if i remember how... haha [06:04] magicstuff: compat-wireless is the catch all name for the program, ubuntu knows it as linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [06:05] why in the hell is compiz the default window manager? [06:05] it eats like 400mb ram :/. [06:05] its not there..just checked linux-backports... [06:05] doesn't even find that [06:05] I'm having trouble with a program. (The Dolphin Wii emulator) I installed it using a PPA repository (so I got fairly recent SVN builds) which worked fine for a while until something went wrong after an update. So I got rid of that & went for the fairly old stable release - let's just say significant progress has been made, so I ditched that. Then I installed from source using the very very latest SVN, worked fine - un [06:05] magicstuff: and something stupid just occored to me, does the machine you are tring to get wirelessworing on have any internet connection working right now? [06:06] what? [06:06] no [06:06] I was going to ask you that :D :D [06:07] magicstuff: can you connect it? [06:07] F2Knight Work'd like a charm. Once again thanks a lot. ^^ [06:07] magicstuff: via wired i mean [06:07] nope, borrowing wireless from landlord [06:07] can I download the source on the win7 installation...and save it to my ubuntu installation/partition? [06:08] Artel, your welcome. Enjoy I use virtualbox a lot replaces all my VMware systems with it and run them headless on many servers. it is a wonderful product. [06:08] RealOpty, I'm having just 512MBs of RAM and even I've installed many features like extra animations and others within compiz, but it eat my 2.5% of CPU and only 30MBs of RAM.. [06:10] your mom [06:10] you could, but i dont know how well it will work, you might just need compat-wireless, or compat-wireless may need librarys that you dont have or it needs a neewer version of, let me see if i can find a .deb of the file floating around [06:10] magicstuff: you could, but i dont know how well it will work, you might just need compat-wireless, or compat-wireless may need librarys that you dont have or it needs a neewer version of, let me see if i can find a .deb of the file floating around [06:10] thanks [06:10] weird [06:10] maybe a bug [06:10] but at least now i have some free ram [06:11] is there a way to see if a specific file belongs to a package? [06:11] for example, /usr/lib32/libgphoto2/2.4.8/ptp2.so [06:12] Remote desktop. what would cause the viewers screen not to update? can move mouse around click things etc but cant actualy see what your doing [06:12] alesan: dpkg -S file [06:12] alesan: dpkg -S filename ,if it's a file in your system. [06:12] I cant install chrome on a 9.04 liveCD because dependencies are not satisfied -- what' sup with this? [06:13] can someone help me get full screen going while running ubuntu in VB [06:13] ia32-libs has /usr/lib32/libgphoto2/2.4.8/ptp2.so ??? and the whole /usr/lib32/libgphoto2 in general?? [06:13] magicstuff: are you on a 32 bit or 63 bit linux? [06:13] 32 [06:13] i know i have to install guest additions [06:13] invest all on microsoft [06:13] RealOpty, anyway it's okay, as you've got rid from the ram-eater-monster (yeah, compiz, but ONLY for YOU!)...

[06:23] bazhang: got my membership :) [06:23] macscr|doh. may not work, but try switching to a virtual terminal (ctrl +alt + f1), then switch back to gnome (ctrl + alt + f7). It's worth a shot [06:24] sorry I had asked a bit ago, looked in and gotten no reply. then I saw you and you know me. I apologize. ActionParsnip [06:24] Although it really explains the sudo command in a propper way. [06:24] tripel-webchat: no worries dude [06:24] mcnellis: use scp.

[06:25] mcnellis, if you can ssh into the computer, can you mount a drive on the computer using sshfs? [06:25] just scp. [06:25] sharris: what's asking you to login as root? [06:25] ah I think I'll go with prince_jammys suggestion. [06:26] or rsync [06:26] magicstuff: run: sudo lshw -C network ,websearch for the product line of the wireless to find guides [06:26] sirninja: i basically have 2 sreens going. 1 for one monitor (the one thats working) and 1 for two monitors (the ones screwed up) [06:26] oh rsync is a good idea too...I just need to upload a 1MB tar.gz heh I'm planning on setting up git soon...bah i should prob just set up git first and then use git to upload all my server files [06:26] anyone installed starcraft 2 on ubuntu 10.04? [06:26] magicstuff: it may be already working. If you run: sudo iwlist scan ,and it finds access points then its working [06:26] magicstuff, people will help you if you ask all in one line and mention the model of the laptop/desktop and the type of card [06:27] macscr|doh. Ah, I see. Sometimes I get weird issues with my monitors, and when I open up the monitors program under system -> preferences it does something that gets them working again [06:27] ubuntu is... when it boots [06:27] can anybody help me delete a folder in my desktop that gots a lock on it [06:27] says doesn't support scanning..

Its just some eyecandy [06:28] octavio, you can right click on the folder, choose "properties" [06:28] ilovefairuz: now it boots into "atudiolt login: _" [06:28] Hey [06:28] I cant install chrome on a 9.04 liveCD because dependencies are not satisfied -- is there a way I can get chrome? (ActionParsnip suggested I use a ppa but after searching I cant get into it. ) [06:28] *studiolt [06:28] magicstuff: ok then use the product line to find guides [06:28] actionparsnip: its a broadcom bcm4312 [06:28] ActionParsnip ? if i remote connect to your machine may i disable all your stuff?

[06:34] can anyone tell me how to edit grub options while booting once you get into the grub menu? the docs say not to press the enter key but how else can you add a new line? the docs say not to press the enter key but there is no information how to insert a line [06:34] magicstuff, why cant you get a wired connection?

You can then get wifi and upgrade them. I do advise a wired link [06:35] magicstuff, i would help but if you dont do as i asked you to do i cant help you [06:36] Wiesshund: understood. So when you connect it stops compiz and fails over to metacity? [06:36] can anybody help me replacing a file with the same file am getting error function not implemented [06:36] tucemix: I thought I said the card was a broadcom bcm4312 on a dell inspirion 1545 [06:37] octavio: give us some details. [06:37] Octavio: what is the error you are getting and what is causing it? [06:37] ActionParsnip no when you connect compiz causes the host screen to not visualy update to the guest [06:38] guys i need advise with grub, i need help to add a frugal install of puppy linux [06:38] xangua OK I'm working on it. I had found a similar but different page. and had not noticed that I could scroll through the pop up help and get many lines of instructions to follow. That should keep me busy. [06:38] replacing the same file can we do that in ubuntu [06:38] Wiesshund: gotcha, sounds like a bug then. Is one logged for this sort of behaviour? [06:38] octavio: explain exactly what you mean by "replacing the same file". [06:38] octavio: no reason why it can't [06:38] ActionParsnip, i have been thru the broadcom run around myself today - despite what the docs say, there are not all the files you need on the livecd and it doesn't work [06:39] ActionParsnip you can blindly do stuff, but you cant see what your doing, screen never updates, and its a pain having to tell the kids how to disable and then reenable the stuff constantly [06:39] tesuji: I see [06:39] Wiesshund: maybe compiz isn't suitable for the situation then. I'd log a bug either way [06:39] i know but am getting this error function not implemented it work before [06:40] sigh [06:40] Saddly, the flaming close windows etc was the only way i got them to move to linux (and now i dont have to remove 10 viruses per week) [06:40] help with grub.cfg file [06:40] Wiesshund: hahaha nice [06:40] action parship am getting this error function not implemented [06:41] ActionParsnip it may not be, but since ubuntu is shipping compiz stock in 10.04, well ya know youd think it would play nice [06:41] ActionParsnip, 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.... :( [06:42] magicstuff, i have been working on that same problem myself today and there is no way to do it without a wired connection [06:42] ok I got the proprietary driver to work in livecd... [06:42] magicstuff, all the stuff im seeing requires you to have a wired connection so youre out of luck, you need to install the drivers for it [06:42] What can I do now? [06:43] can I download the everything I need on the livecd, copy to my ext hd...restart linux, and try to install them? [06:43] magicstuff, you know how to use paste bin? [06:43] yeah... [06:44] magicstuff, first i want to make sure youre not making a clumsy error, let me know what you get from "iwconfig" [06:45] tucemiux, how can he do that if his machine isn't on the net? i am confused what his problem is [06:45] ugh, installing that nvidia driver F'd my comp up... gonna have to reinstall the OS, gonna try a diff OS i guess :( [06:45] tucemix: here [06:45] http://pastebin.com/pCGfGTSE === ubuntu_ is now known as magicstuff2 [06:45] here http://pastebin.com/pCGfGTSE [06:45] tesuji, apparently he cant get access to a wired connection but he can connect to an AP wirelessly, if you want more details ask magicstuff [06:46] tucemix: I couldn't get access to a wireless connection on a non livecd... [06:47] I just activated the broadcom sta wireless drivers from the top right menu bar (install drivers) [06:47] magicstuff, are you saying you can get wireless to work on the livecd? [06:47] magicstuff2, good news, your wireless card is detected, drivers look good -- you just need to configure it O_o [06:47] anyone have any ideas why i cant get a hdr drive to boot, its set bootable, bis deetects as primary master only other drive is a cd drive. filesystems in tact [06:47] yes, thats what I'm on right now..I'm actually on chatzilla on the lappy...was on my gf's comp a minute ago [06:48] anyone here good with tunneling traffic via vpn connection? [06:48] magicstuff2, you do know how to configure a wireless card, right? Step 1. you know the things that you need? Step 2. you need any help on how to configure anything on ubuntu from step 1? [06:48] help with grub.cfg on 10.04 how do i change the loading time? [06:49] tucemix: not in the least big [06:49] 1 no...2 yes, a ton [06:49] tenochslb: edit /etc/default/grub, and then ''sudo update-grub'' [06:50] tenochslb: do NOT edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly, it's generated by update-grub. [06:50] prince_jammys, thanks i want to see if a new entry i made is there but ubuntu just starts [06:50] magicstuff2, youre going to need the information from the wireless router that youre going to be using, you need the "SSID" and if it's using any security you need to find out what type of security it is using then configure the password according to the security settings on the wireless router [06:50] prince_jammys, i think i just did it manually [06:50] prince_jammys :(( [06:51] tenochslb: don't. edit the file i mentioned, look for timeout. it's ok, then just update-grub. [06:51] tucemix: I might try rebooting into my actuall ubuntu installation...and seeing if I can just activate the broadcom sta wireless driver... [06:51] hopefully it'll work as easy as it just did [06:54] tenochslb, have you try cheating an using startup-manager? [06:55] Hi. I'm configuring dnsmasq on a machine with two ethernet adapters [06:56] tucemiux, no [06:56] Even though I've explicitly bound dnsmasq to one interface, a dhclient on the other interface keeps finding the local dnsmasq for DHCP [06:56] how can I prevent this? [06:56] Is Avant still the default standard to create the Mac Look in Ubuntu.. or is there any new stuff which has popped up [06:57] ok i will reboot and see what happens [06:57] tenochslb, sudo apt-get install startupmanager === LjL^ is now known as Guest62226 [06:57] hahhahaha: docky 2, cairo dock [06:57] tucemiux ok what is that? [06:57] tenochslb: you changed GRUB_TIMEOUT and did ''sudo update-grub'', correct? [06:57] GRUB_TIMEOUT at /etc/default/grub, that is.

How do I add these lines to my systems software source? [07:03] hi, stupid question but why after people report flash-plugin to not work in ubuntu 9 its still not working in ubuntu 10.. and a simple download from macromedia and installing by hand fixes this... shouldn't the package be maintained better? [07:03] tenochslb, reboot your machine, if you have any more problems, come back and ask [07:03] tripel-webchat: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [07:03] ty [07:03] tucemiux yeah thanks [07:03] hello [07:03] awk, flash isnt maintained by ubuntu [07:03] i need a topology writer software [07:03] tripel-webchat: that's a plain text file. just add whatever repos you want.

Puppy is trying to boot up from (hd0,1) -- the first partition on your first hard drive [07:14] ActionParsnip, Wow I feel dumb now. [07:14] ActionParsnip, By the way, Wasssuppp! [07:14] Sc00t3r: sure you can. You can do anything in the livecd you can on an installed system except reboot ;) [07:14] tucemiux that is the partition. [07:15] Sc00t3r: gots my membership baby! Hola [07:15] Sc00t3r: you ok? [07:15] ActionParsnip: Well, I thought he was asking how to install the things seperately, and you understood he meant to install Chromium Browser. Lol. === Sam_Fisher is now known as Guest62835 [07:16] Sc00t3r: yeah install anything you like in livecd, you are just limited to the size of your ramdrive [07:16] ActionParsnip: Well, that doesn't really count as installing in my opinion.. it's still temporary. [07:17] Sc00t3r: true, but the app is usable during the session [07:17] is there a distinct difference between "chromium browser" and "google-chrome"? [07:17] ActionParsnip: Point taken. I suppose about 3.5GB is great then. xD [07:17] dexi, Not really sure. Try installing one and the other and see what happens?

But considering Ubuntu has Ubuntu Studio, which has so many freaking things for that... I'd be looking at that if you're looking to actually video edit in Linux.

[07:19] !mintsupport | mint [07:19] mint: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:20] mint, for video editing I would use ubuntu studio, I would also download the appz and install the latest and greatest, linux is yet not so great at video editing [07:20] tucemix, i do not have other partitions fyi, stand alone ubuntu trying to run a frugall install of puppy linux [07:20] Well, time for me to get off. Was just hanging around waiting for Lubuntu to install to my netbook. Peace out, ActionParsnip. [07:20] Sc00t3r: peace [07:21] tenochslb, what you just said does not make sense [07:21] ActionParsnip, does the blade have a shiny design and enhanced cutting ability, or is it just the newest version of the same old sword? [07:21] dexi: weird and wonderful featured, one is in google image search for one [07:21] tenochslb, it doesnt work that way [07:21] *features [07:22] tucemix ok thanks [07:22] ah, ActionParsnip, i believe that feature went live... the like 140921-354123049 billion images to 1 page? [07:22] will a ddr3 motherboard support ddr ram? but ddr will not support ddr3? [07:22] tucemix, i need to have a partition for the other os? [07:22] dexi: erm not sure [07:22] tenochslb, if you ask the real question -- what you are trying to do -- someone might be able to help you [07:22] krowten: ask in ##hardware [07:22] krowten: this is ubuntu support only [07:22] i'll check it out online i spose [07:23] dexi: you can have both installed. They us a different config folder and use different launchers so makes sense [07:23] krowten, go to ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [07:23] ActionParsnip, I suppose I might... Chromium is official/released by google? [07:24] dexi: the ppa I'm unsure of but the code certainly is [07:24] i need to edit the grub menu you get during booting (SHIFT -> e) once I am in the menu how do I add a line to it? ppl keep telling me to press 'e', I already pressed 'e', I'm in the menu, I need to alter the menu, can anyone help? [07:24] tucemix, sorry I am new at this thinng of linux. So i tell you what i need to do. My computer has ubuntu 10.04. I want to be able to have puppy linux in the same computer. Puppy linux has an install called frugal dont ask me what that is. [07:25] tesuji, what is it you are trying to alter and why? [07:25] tesuji: highlight the kernel you want to edit and press e to edit it [07:25] ok thnx [07:25] ActionParsnip, i already got that far, now i need to alter it [07:25] tesuji: that's fine, add the boot options you need [07:26] tucemiux, i need to add a modeset option, how do i do that and where does it go? [07:26] tucemix, a mode of installation called frugal, which is different than a full hd install of puppy linux, again sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help you provided. [07:26] tenochslb: frugal in Puppy means "bare minimum" [07:26] tucemiux, ActionParsnip when editing the grub bootline there is a "--" on the end and this option is appended after the "--" but here there is no "--" so where does my option go? [07:26] tenochslb, 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 drive [07:27] tesuji: then press end and it will put the cursor at the end, are you troubleshooting the blackscreen at boot bug? === keastes is now known as kisuke [07:27] ActionParsnip, i know how to solve it, i just need to get the grub option in there [07:28] is ther any way to force gdm to use a particular video out? [07:28] and how do i open a file browser with root priviliges? [07:28] ActionParsnip, do i need to add a "--" to the end of the "linux" line? [07:28] tesuji: then go to the end of the line and type the option [07:29] kisuke: sudo nautilus from terminal [07:29] melfy: gksudo nautilus ,sudo is NOT for nautilus [07:30] tesuji: if the guide you have says you need -- then do it [07:30] ActionParsnip, apparently that wasn't the right way to do it :( :( it boots to a blank screen. when i add that option to the end upon booting the livecd it works just fine [07:30] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html tesuji [07:30] ActionParsnip, there is no guide, i am just going by the way the livecd works [07:31] ActionParsnip, that doesn't work for me i already tried it [07:32] tesuji: ok that's cool [07:32] ActionParsnip, my hardware is not the same [07:32] tesuji: try without the -- then, its free to try :) [07:32] ActionParsnip, when the grub boot options are all on one line then i know what to do but i am clueless with this menu, it does not work as expected [07:33] tesuji, Are you trying to just get GRUB to boot your OS? [07:33] tesuji: could ask in #grub [07:33] ActionParsnip, well, yeah, when it boots halfway then my stick doesn't work anymore and i have to reload it from scratch. i am beginning to think it is not possible to run ubuntu off a stick [07:33] tesuji, If you are, just run update-grub. Should automatically configure your GRUB to every OS on your system. [07:33] does any one know how to tell GDM/xorg to use a specific video out? [07:33] Sc00t3r, tried that [07:33] tesuji, Are you running off Live CD right now? You have to specify the HDD when you are on a LiveCD. [07:34] tesuji, 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] no Sc00t3r i have installed a REAL ubuntu on a stick and trying to run off it, but the video comes up blank [07:34] Hi .. can someone advice if I can use logwatch for monitoring the logs of my webapplciations ( JAVA/ Python) ?

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] Secondary 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] TiK, whats aux again? [07:49] kisuke: lists al running programs [07:49] Cocoabean, gointo your bios and make sure you are set to boot first from the master.

[07:52] kisuke, to pipe the pid into kill [07:53] kisuke: I do, but it does not give me fine-grained enough control for me to select which IDE bus gets booted first [07:53] 大家好！ [07:53] not sure what < does on the command line, but the worst it will do is make you need to reboot.

Is this a hypothetical, or is it something you need to do? [08:59] magicstuff, so you get wifi up. then at the command line do "apt-get update" [08:59] ok did that... [08:59] done tesuji: [08:59] Hi!

[09:04] Seppoz, why not cd to the location, rename the file the link refers to, then try to delete the link from that directory...? [09:04] folks 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] pkkm Which one? [09:05] littlepenguin, but it's for karmic!!! I need it for lucid... [09:05] Ileden, it was broken during an update [09:05] pkkm, 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] taulus, the broadcom drivers and it's a long story, i just need to know how to do this [09:05] tesuji: just apt-get -d should do it [09:05] PythonPup, no, one partition for everything [09:06] right click has died on my firefox, can't get the context menus to appear :( was working a couple of hours ago before I went to bed. any ideas other than a ninja has tried to annoy me? [09:06] thanks so much tesuji: this has been a huge pain in the rear [09:06] taulus, EP45-DS3L [09:06] hateball, no, then it takes the packagename as an option [09:06] Thanks pkkm thats two now :) [09:06] magicstuff, i gotta get some help how to do this [09:07] mementomori you could try ..sometimes karmic packages work fine [09:07] OK, 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.

[09:07] please tell me the steps to install ubuntu [09:07] tesuji, Um...did you read the help for apt-get yet? [09:08] Ileden, 5-10 GB (many text files and scripts) === kelvin is now known as Guest71283 [09:08] YankDownUnder, yes and it's not quite clear to me [09:08] !manual | Minas have a read first [09:08] Minas have a read first: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

Click on "install"... [09:08] hello ppl i wonder is there any security issue if a run crontab on server wit root permissions ? :-) [09:08] tesuji, So have you TRIED that option with apt-get yet? [09:08] YankDownUnder, by my understanding of the man page that should do it but it doesn't work [09:09] hello ppl i wonder is there any security issue if a run crontab on server with a root permissions ? :-) [09:09] tesuji, Have you tried to remove the package and re-install the package again? [09:09] Minas; http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid you might look here [09:09] tesuji: well I dunno, I only use aptitude... "aptitude download " [09:09] ok, nevermind right click seems to have come back now.. i smell ninjas. [09:09] thank you [09:09] hello [09:09] pkkm, do you have a USB drive large enough to backup that data? Or, another computer on your network? [09:10] * YankDownUnder thinks Ninjas abound [09:10] pkkm: 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] YankDownUnder, the package contains drivers for a wifi - if i remove it, will it kill the wifi? [09:11] Hello! 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] tesuji, Can't you plug into ethernet whilst you do this? [09:11] YankDownUnder, no [09:11] yankdownunder: nope, I don't have connection to a wired connection [09:11] PythonPup, Ileden, Thanks,I'll reinstall now. [09:11] YankDownUnder, 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 downloaded [09:11] tesuji: Removing driver packages shouldnt unload the driver from memory [09:12] pkkm: 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] tesuji, See above [09:12] magicstuff, are you there? [09:12] tesuji: AFAIK, the driver should still work until you unload it or reboot [09:12] tesuji, What's the driver? [09:12] YankDownUnder, the broadcom stuff [09:12] pkkm, 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] Someone give me a advice plz :((( === stix_ is now known as stix [09:13] tesuji, Gads...lovely....did someone uncomment the BCM drivers in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf ?? [09:13] YankDownUnder, i have not a clue what you are on about [09:13] yes I am tesuji: [09:14] magic, start up synaptic [09:14] ok [09:14] livecd or the real thing? [09:14] tesuji, 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] classical: People most probably aren't ignoring you, only they aren't confident enough to provide an answer. No need for sadfaces :) [09:14] ! cron | classical [09:14] classical: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [09:15] sorry, tesuji: open pack manager in livecd? === jack is now known as Guest66931 [09:15] magicstuff, hang on [09:15] is there a gui or something that can change ico to svg atau png for icon usage [09:15] classical: 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 crontab [09:15] somehow ubuntu cant read ico files === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:16] magicstuff, 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 hardwire [09:16] or maybe converting ico to png or svg ? [09:16] 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 ??? [09:16] ok thanks a ton! [09:16] classical, 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] adamramadhan, Um...have you tried GIMP yet? [09:16] nope [09:16] can i use it for mass convert a ico folder ? [09:17] adamramadhan, Um...have you read the dox for GIMP yet? [09:17] i want to use .ico for icons . :) [09:17] nope [09:17] or a converter is ok . [09:17] Does 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] classical: 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] Ileden, soreau ubottu thx you guys :-) but If i run a some script wit root is there any secure vulnerability ? :-) [09:17] adamramadhan, 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... [09:18] classical: 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] adamramadhan: Use Imagemagick, command-line: convert image.ico image.png [09:18] jukebox-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... [09:19] Ileden, Okay thank you :-) [09:20] YankDownUnder, 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] This is not to say that, on occasion, Ubuntu has chosen to emulate some behaviors of Windows. [09:20] spooky: is there a gui for it ? [09:20] classical: 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] jukebox-zero, Hehehehehehehe....coolbeans.... [09:20] what environment variable do we need to set in order to change the general language? LANG? [09:20] LANG controls the locale [09:20] jukebox-zero, What about forcing yer system to boot to a cli login...that's scary... [09:21] adamramadhan: Using a GUI seems like taking a long road to a short destination...why not just do it from the terminal? [09:21] hi [09:21] classical: 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 user [09:21] spooky: then how do i convert a hole folder of .ico to png ? [09:21] I'm looking for all OS where sudo is used, anyone have an idea ? [09:21] rousing: "all OS"? [09:22] classical: In addition to security issues, running user commands as root can potentially cause permissions issues [09:22] rousing, including your home ? [09:22] YankDownUnder, 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] jukebox-zero, Hang on a tick... [09:22] bazhang: what distros are using sudo [09:22] rousing, this is Ubuntu support. Ubuntu uses sudo [09:22] Ileden: all linux distro [09:22] Pretty sure sudo has been available on several Unices, and several Linux distributions [09:22] adamramadhan: someone already figured this out, http://superuser.com/questions/71028/batch-converting-png-to-jpg-in-linux [09:22] rousing: 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. [09:23] OSX has sudo doesn't it? [09:23] rousing, if you are polling, then please don't [09:23] just dont use .jpg, use .ico and .png in the snippet [09:23] rousing: ah, ok. you mean the "sudo" command itself and linux distros. Thing is, there are a gazillion of linux distros... [09:23] Ileden, 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] su is probably specified in some Unix specification, maybe POSIX [09:24] Ileden: i meant that yes [09:24] jukebox-zero, Mate - simple solution => http://andrew.org/index.php/archives/2010/05/07/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-boot-in-text-mode/ [09:24] classical: Like I said, you should understand why any command needs to be run as root and that includes scripts [09:24] classical, What do you need to run as root? [09:24] YankDownUnder, Thanks, cheers man. [09:25] jukebox-zero, Makes me want to muck with the girlfriend now...heheheheh....BTW, use "startx" to start up XWindows mate... [09:25] rousing, did you have an ubuntu support issue? === stix_ is now known as stix [09:25] bazhang: seriously :) ? [09:25] rousing, yes [09:25] classical: 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] YankDownUnder, nod nod. Good call. [09:26] bazhang: i have a lot, and i doubt youi can help in any [09:26] PythonPup, simple users does not have privilege to execute some scriots [09:26] Ubuntu? the linux with left-handed window trigger set (like on mac)? [09:26] classical: and you need to understand why. What script are you referring to in this case? [09:27] classical, Can you be more specific? Is there a single program, or 300 programs. The specifics can help me give you a better answer. [09:27] !controls > FattyTheDork [09:27] FattyTheDork, please see my private message [09:27] soreau, backup for example [09:27] hello [09:27] Hi! Any ideas why has my Ubuntu UI has become laggy after upgrading to 10.04... I initially thought it was about my video card, but I changed that yet the problem still persists. Everything was working ok and very fast on 9.04. Any ideas how to debug this? [09:28] PythonPup, there is a single program one or two bash command [09:28] how to tell an usb hsdpa stick not to use interface name eth0 on automount??? [09:28] classical: As long as your user has write access to wherever you are backing up *to*, then you should be able to run it as user [09:28] classical, What do they do? I am trying to gauge how dangerous they are. [09:28] Ileden, Graphics driver, xorg configuration, stale .debs hanging around....the list goes on... [09:29] hi all .. [09:29] magicstuff, haha mine doesn't work either - back to the drawing board [09:29] classical, If there is one or two programs, and they are relatively benign, you could add them to you sudoers file. [09:29] well I'm on Windows myself, but there was a wave of raging linuxers... [09:29] Ileden, its seems the best solution to give users enough privilege for executing scripts but does not allow to edit it [09:29] YankDownUnder: Graphics driver would affect two different video cards? xorg conf I've reseted. How do I detect stale .debs? And how does the list go on? :D [09:29] how can i get the sound working on my usb headset? [09:29] Ileden: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors or warnings [09:29] argh [09:30] Anyone tried to install 10.04 using Wubi and an ISO file previously downloaded? Even after putting the ISO in the same directory, or burning the ISO to a CD, Wubi would refuse to recognize that I had Ubuntu already and just downloaded a new version [09:30] classical: "does not allow to edit it"? [09:30] Ileden, for users [09:30] not for root [09:30] I tried ubuntu (gnome edition) back at 8.4, but it was a bone club. Couldn't even setup inet. [09:31] tesuji: haha, this is a pain for both of us...what was yankdownunder: saying about the blacklist.conf file? [09:31] FattyTheDork, any current ubuntu support issues? if not then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks [09:31] Ileden, 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] magicstuff, Are you using the BCM43 driver at the moment? [09:32] erUSUL: How do I notice errors or warnings? (Do they start with (!!) or such?) There doesnt seem to be any... [09:32] YankDownUnder, i am looking at that file - now you want me to uncomment what? it is already uncommented, i don't understand your directions [09:32] Ileden: (EE) or (WW) [09:32] where to tell an usb hsdpa stick to take the interface name?? [09:32] YankDownUnder, this was really simple under earlier versions of ubuntu, just install a driver and it magically worked [09:32] any idea how i can force my usb headset to work? [09:33] yankdownunder: I think so... [09:33] Okay anyway thx all for replay :-)))) [09:33] I'm typing to you on a diff computer.. [09:33] tesuji, If it's already UNcommented, then do the SYSTEM / ADMINISTRATION / HARDWARE DRIVERS => let Ubu detect the drivers, and install the latest mods [09:33] YankDownUnder, i have the same problem [09:33] I only get a wireless connection on ubuntu via livecd using hardware drivers thing [09:33] Why lie that it's "free"? it seems that Ubuntu must be sold for internet access stations with internet setup being part of the service. [09:33] YankDownUnder: did xorg reset exactly like that. yup running gnome. the old crap sounds like a viable cause... how do I detect it? [09:34] YankDownUnder, it says "no propritary drivers in use" and that's just crap [09:34] !ot | FattyTheDork [09:34] FattyTheDork: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:34] erUSUL: no relevant warnings or errors (only about input devices) [09:35] tesuji: I get the same thing while not using the livecd [09:35] hi, I have ubuntu 10.04 and when I come in some mornings, X seems to have restarted itself. It asks me to log instead of just unlock the screen. [09:35] YankDownUnder, i followed directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx and installed the bcmwl-kernelsource package [09:35] Ileden, 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 f [09:35] rom the old user to a new dir [09:36] andy__, When that happens, see how long it has been up? Maybe the power went out overnight. [09:36] tesuji, Roger that - so then, if you've done that, what's the issue? This is clear is mud at the moment... [09:36] YankDownUnder, my network manager is not detecting the wifi [09:36] help? [09:37] tesuji, Roger that....right...but the module is loading, and you're able to connect - whether or not the Network Manager is working? [09:37] : it says it's been up 2 days, so no power outage. [09:37] YankDownUnder, iwconfig says only "lo no wireless extensions" [09:37] 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're run into someone who wants that feature.. (Ugh!) [09:37] YankDownUnder, no this is a different system [09:38] YankDownUnder, i have two machines side by side - the one i'm typing this on works fine :) [09:38] tesuji, Um...ok...I reckon I'm not fully clear about the situation... [09:38] Great! , thanks. [09:38] YankDownUnder: Ah, unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge to go through them manually. :) Recustomization sounds tedious... but I could try if that fixes the problem. It's safe to simply rename .config? Should I do the same for .local and .cache too? [09:38] YankDownUnder, i have just installed a brand new ubuntu and the wifi does not work [09:38] anyway mogrify -format jpg *.png works [09:38] but i have another problem [09:38] andy__, Is it a laptop or a desktop? [09:38] YankDownUnder: oh, and would logging in as a new user give the same result? [09:39] i mean mogrify -format png *.ico [09:39] YankDownUnder, it uses broadcom - i installed bcmwl-kernel-source package and rebooted but system->admin->hardware drivers does not detect any drivers [09:39] the problem is how can we just convert to high res .ico ? [09:39] Ileden, You can always delete what's in ~/.cache/ => it's just temp stuff...however, if you want to test, just create a new user, login as that user, see what difference there is in performance...then you'll know... [09:39] : Desktop .. There's the following in messages file: could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-UDUOCqGWTk: Connection refused [09:39] it convert to many .png [09:39] crontab -e its opens with nano sudo crontab -e its opens with nano and sudo su then crontab -e opens with vi editor why ? [09:40] YankDownUnder, magic has the same situation [09:40] andy__, I don't know what would cause that. [09:40] tesuji, Ok...what about putting a comment in front of the driver in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and then seeing if the driver is found with the SYSTEM/ADMINISTRATION/HARDWARE DRIVERS utility...? [09:40] YankDownUnder: thanks, I'll try that! Somehow didn't come across me to think it could be user config related. [09:41] can anyone please help me? CAN ANYONE ACTUAL READ THIS? [09:41] nexus [09:41] nexus6__: yes, we can read you. [09:41] whats up tho [09:41] nexus6__: Nope, cant see it [09:41] great that it can be read [09:41] Ileden, I had the issue with a client - it ended up being Compiz, Gnome and Emerald crap that blew out the performance... [09:41] nexus6__: ask a question... [09:41] i have a usb headset plugged in (xubuntu) how can i activate it? [09:41] : also got this on Xorg.0.log.old (file was updated at the same time) Fatal server error:Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error .. not sure if that helps [09:41] Did the installation CD 10.04 changed from the very beginning till now? Is it the same kernel version the same intel drivers? [09:41] andy__, Do you have that computer connected to a KVM switch? [09:41] what model nexus? [09:42] soreau, PythonPup Ileden crontab -e its opens with nano sudo crontab -e its opens with nano again and sudo su then crontab -e opens with vi editor why ? [09:42] logitech [09:42] logitech ..some more details please [09:42] nexus6__: just click the volume icon go to properties and select the usb headseat as output [09:42] classical: because root has "vi" as the designated editor program (i guess) [09:42] classical: VISUAL=$TEXT_EDITOR crontab -e where TEXT_EDITOR is your test editor of choice [09:42] : no, not connected to KVM switch [09:43] nexus6__: plug it in, in the programs you want to play/record through the headset there will be a way to change the sound settings audio device.. the headset should appear on the list of devices. [09:43] nexus : http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/how-i-got-my-usb-headset-to-work/ [09:43] YankDownUnder, do i need to reboot after i do that? [09:43] Ileden, then sudo -e must be opened with vi [09:43] ok i will try that [09:43] classical: 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] classical, typing nano sudo crontab -e is weird. Don't do that. [09:43] tesuji, Yep... [09:44] classical: For example, to use gedit as your test editor, run: VISUAL=gedit crontab -e [09:44] YankDownUnder, there's nothing in syslog about drivers not found since i installed the bcmwl-kernel-source - before that there were tons of errors [09:44] 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] tensuij: let me know how it goes [09:44] hi! are there backports of kernel 2.6.34 or 2.6.35 available for 10.04, or do I have to wait for maverick? [09:44] where is the sound control panel? [09:44] andy__, I am going through a launchpad bug that seems related. You might look at it, too. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bonobo/+bug/293970 [09:44] little speaker, top right by default [09:45] agronholm_, you have the backport repos enabled? [09:45] nexus gnome-volume-monitor [09:45] btw in the programm there are no settings for choosing devices (vlc and totem video player) [09:45] tesuji, 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/card [09:45] bazhang, I can enable them if there's a kernel 2.6.34 or similar [09:45] sry nexus gnome-volume-control [09:45] Ileden, i guess you are right :-) PythonPup why ? [09:45] where shall i copy paste this? [09:46] agronholm_, ah okay; if you had them enabled you could apt-cache search them; might want to check in packages.ubuntu.com [09:46] nexus6__: little speaker icon near the top right corner, right-click it and choose properties [09:46] bazhang, I did, found nothing [09:46] no kernel backports for lucid [09:46] agronholm_, then next release [09:46] bah :( [09:46] I have btrfs on one of my disks and its- showing -64 zettabytes of free space [09:46] nexus6__: sorry, no.. norlam-click it and choose Volume control ;) [09:46] classical: maybe - just an educated guess, I'd like to know it myself too :) [09:46] I am freshman, [09:47] *normal === nick is now known as Guest7589 [09:47] so I wanted to get it working [09:47] 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 ??? [09:47] It's hard to use [09:47] dreamlifing, using ubuntu or ylmfos [09:47] nexus6__: actually ignore me.. that's not what you want at all ;) [09:47] YankDownUnder, this time it spent some time searching for avail drivers but didn't find any and the wifi is still kaput [09:47] eek i copy paste gnome-volume-control into the left click command [09:47] soreau, haha its opens with gedit [09:48] classical, 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] now i even cant open the normal settings anymore [09:48] soreau, nice :-) [09:48] Hi. Is there a difference between doing "ifconfig ... up" in /etc/rc.local, and having "auto eth0..." in /etc/network/interfaces? [09:48] : Thanks, looking at it now, it certainly seems very similar to what I'm experiencing. [09:48] nexus6__: System > Preferences > Sound should be where you want to go [09:48] hi, is there a good alternative to the programm "dia"? dia seems to be buggy... [09:48] ylmfos [09:48] dreamlifing, that is not supported here [09:48] xerox1, if there is, haven't found any [09:48] i dont have this sound menu in xubuntu [09:48] the UI is horrible [09:48] classical: That is the whole point ;) [09:49] xerox1, I have been looking for something like dia, but better. I don't think it exists under Linux. [09:49] PythonPup, yes i know this im not going to write nano then sudo :-) [09:49] Hello [09:49] well,where will I go to [09:49] dreamlifing, no idea [09:49] Hmmm, I have no idea where to configure sound in xubuntu... [09:49] agronholm_, PythonPup bug is annoying, there seems to be a problem with alpha-channels when exporting to png e.g. [09:50] 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] classical, That is what you said and it was the only thing I could respond to. If you have another question, please ask. [09:50] nexus xfce-mixer [09:50] classical: Using sudo, you would do something like this: VISUAL=gedit sudo -E crontab -e [09:50] zcat[1]: I want the feature! :) [09:50] PythonPup, no i have not yet :-D [09:50] tesuji, Have you tried to "rmmod" the loaded driver and see again if it's found? [09:50] tensuij: any luck? [09:50] Ubuntu has a very nice support an community [09:51] 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 machine [09:51] and Philosophy of course [09:51] xerox1, I recall that I exported my images by exporting to svg first and then saving to png from inkscape [09:51] zcat[1]: although the windows implementation is ugly and annoying. the concept is nice, though, and Opera browser has executed it very pleasantly. [09:51] dia, 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] agronholm_, thx, will try that [09:52] ehm well now my sound settings got non accessable because you said i should copy paste the command in there [09:52] what now? [09:52] zcat[1]: is it a windows, or internet explorer feature, though, I'm not sure? [09:52] xerox1, I meant that last message for you. [09:52] classical: The amount and quality of support you get largely depends on what you ask and how you ask it, revealing the knowledge you have already [09:52] nexus you should have a menu for configuring the soudn hardware somewhere in the menu [09:52] Ileden: I'm used to middle click to open a link in a new tab... and it gets me every time I have to use doze.. [09:52] i dont have in xubuntu [09:52] PythonPup, thx, installing it right now ;) [09:53] zcat[1]: post looks old but might work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=478418 [09:53] soreau, yep :-) [09:53] Ileden: I think it might just be MSIE.. perhaps I'll suggest they use opera [09:53] zcat[1]: :D that'd be a nice workaround :) [09:54] Hi , I need a project tools under ubuntu 10.04 . like MS project 2003 under windows . any suggestion ? [09:54] zcat[1]: that post also mentions how to edit firefox configuration for middle click [09:54] zcat[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] 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] nexus look system->Preferences->Sound is it available? [09:54] Gantt project is java based and too simple . any another suggestion ? thx [09:55] no [09:55] What language designates the value entry 38 in gconftool > /GNOME/Spell Name=language0 Value=38? [09:55] Shazoo: A quick google search http://www.osalt.com/project [09:55] i dont have prefrences in system either [09:55] nexus what gives aplay -l [09:55] anyway, GTG. Thanks for suggestions [09:55] zcat[1]: sounds like it, if middle button scroller thingie is considered a key feature :D [09:56] MaRk-I: thanks for the link! [09:56] Ileden: yw [09:56] Karte 1: Headset [Logitech USB Headset], Gerät 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] [09:56] soreau : thx . [09:56] @nexus that seems your headset has been found [09:57] can anyone tell me how to force the download of package that is already installed? i need it for a different system that is not on the net [09:57] recommend me a good ftp client [09:57] Shazoo: It would seem that osalt.com is a site for OSS alternatives to proprietary software [09:57] YankDownUnder: Yup, seems like my performance went up with the new user. [09:57] tesuji, just use aptoncd [09:57] tesuji: this thing is a huge frekaing pain [09:57] !aptoncd | tesuji [09:57] tesuji: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [09:57] nexus install "pavucontrol" [09:57] soreau: thx . It's very helpful . [09:58] how? [09:58] YankDownUnder: So I guess that means I need to clean up the gnome configs, and redo all the customizations. :( Well, there aren't _that_ many I guess. [09:58] nexus: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol [09:58] thx :) [09:58] can anyone tell me how to force the download of package for a different architecture? i am running on a 64 and i need to download a 32 bit package [09:58] nexus there you can choose hardware for in and out [09:58] done [09:58] soreau : I will try openprj later . but it looks like java based ... :( [09:58] nexus run pavucontrol [09:59] YankDownUnder: So the simplest way to clean all gnome config is to remove .config, .local and .cache? [09:59] tesuji, just get it from packages.ubuntu.com [09:59] ahh its working [09:59] Shazoo: Java works in linux just fine, AFAICT [09:59] :) nexus [09:59] littlepenguin, but how shall i figure that out myself as linuxs/ubuntu/xubuntu noob? [10:00] nexus i know but thats the thing in linux..you need to teach yourself [10:00] or ask someone who knows [10:00] ;D [10:00] you mind if i add you to friendlist littlepenguin ? [10:01] soreau: I don't like java based program , in fact . I think the java vm middleware is a little slow . what ever , I will try it later . thx [10:01] tesuji, you should just use a web browser. The biggest problem is you may not know what dependencies to get. [10:01] soreau: btw , the website you gived is very helpful [10:01] PythonPup, this is a ctach-22. you want me to use a web browser of a machine that is not on the net to fetch the packages that will allow it to get on the net :) [10:02] who can help me? [10:02] nexus see priv message [10:02] Where can I edit the XFCE menus in Xubuntu? [10:02] zhuyun question it [10:02] Does anyone know how to install ppp and chap so it becomes selectable in the Advanced VPN settings in Gnome Network Manager. I am running Ubuntu 10.4 [10:02] zhuyun, with? [10:02] who can help me? [10:03] tesuji, I don't think it is a catch-22, but it is a problem. You need a system somewhere that has access to the internet to get the package. Unless you know that the package is already installed on some system where you can retrieve it. [10:03] zhuyun, did not see an actual question; please ask one === ocmtheory is now known as superstringtheor [10:03] Did the installation CD 10.04 changed from the very beginning till now? Is it the same kernel version the same intel drivers? [10:04] PythonPup, that is what i am doing... [10:04] YankDownUnder: Oh my, even the very crappy flash video performace has become a lot better! :) [10:04] tesuji, what are you doing? You are not clear enough. [10:04] amanita_: how about #xubuntu? [10:05] Ileden, Ok...so mystery resolved. [10:05] frojnd, The CD has not changed. There are kernel updates that have come in since the CD was produced. Probably video driver updates, too. [10:06] YankDownUnder: yup, clearly. :) Thanks a lot! This has been bugging me quite a bit. :) [10:06] Does anyone know how to install ppp and chap so it becomes selectable in the Advanced VPN settings in Gnome Network Manager. I am running Ubuntu 10.4 [10:07] tesuji, The computer you are on now must have internet access. You are using irc. [10:08] pythonpup: no wireless... [10:08] he's trying to help me as well [10:09] So, who need the package? Is it magicstuff or tesuji? [10:09] both I assume [10:09] PythonPup, the lesson here is never remove the network drivers from a system that is running on a stick when it has only one usb - there is no way to put them back but to reinstall the stick :) so i will be back in another 45 mins when that is done :) [10:09] bfk: network-manager-pptp ? or another of the various NM vpn plugins ? « aptitude search network-manager » [10:10] erUSUL, pptp [10:10] magicstuff, What version of ubuntu and what package do you want to install? [10:11] YankDownUnder: Just to be clear, there are no other config dirs I should be aware of, just .config .local .cache? [10:11] the latest.. [10:11] I cna't get wireless to work... [10:11] The latest package of what and what version of Ubuntu? [10:11] not sure what package I need..sometjhing for the broadcom wireless (bcm4312) [10:11] magicstuff: b43-fwcutter [10:12] magicstuff: sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter [10:12] magicstuff: you have to be connected to internet via wired for that to work [10:12] " is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported."... but where exactly? [10:12] erusul: I have NO connection...no wired on that compy... [10:12] I downloaded it on thisa machine..and put it on there...just not sure how to install it [10:12] what does >> /dev/null 2>&1 do in a cron job entry ? [10:12] magicstuff: search the net " b43 fwcutter offline " [10:12] how can i install the "add-apt-repository" command? [10:12] Ileden, Right [10:13] erUSUL, Never mind I figured it out [10:14] BeeBuu, that command is already installed (assuming you are using a recent ubuntu version) [10:14] Is it possible that the new live cd could format your drive without asking? [10:14] BeeBuu: you keep typing the same error.... again.... its "apt-add-repository" [10:14] sharperguy, is not likely, but if you have importand data you should have backups before doing an install operation [10:14] joaopinto: it's not included in my machine [10:15] MaRk-I, not really, the command is add-apt-repository [10:15] joaopinto: how can i install it? [10:15] Beastmode, open a terminal and type: add-apt-repository [10:15] pastebin the result [10:15] !pastebin | BeeBuu [10:15] BeeBuu: 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.

Wicd is what we use but some how I think you are way beyond that. [10:39] Guest18785, so there are a total of 3 partitions on the disk drive. Is that right. The Windows one is NTFS and you can't you that. What are the other 2? [10:39] salvatore: it's in the repos, open the package manager, search for it, click "install" [10:40] ayekat_, I would remove it if I knew how, and if NetworkManager is the only application controlling my networking. [10:40] salvatore: or "apt-get install netbeans-ide" as root [10:40] i want to install the 6.9 version [10:40] Guest18785, Well if I could get NetworkManager to work the way I like. I would keep it around. But it doesn't. [10:40] PythonPup, on 500GB boot drive. Ubuntu is ext4 and yes Ntfs for Win 7 and NTFS for my Data. [10:40] i get it fron official site in file.sh [10:41] NeverCast, if you don't want Network manager, don't let it startup everytime you boot. [10:41] help me [10:41] salvatore: get it from the repo's [10:41] PythonPup, Right.. so will it be in init.d or some other Ubuntu startup option? [10:41] Guest18785, Then, you can't move the directories. [10:41] PythonPup, whatchyoutalkingbout Willis!

[10:43] probably you can remove this package with "apt-get purge network-manager-gnome" as root [10:43] salvatore, in terminal cd into the directery then run [filename].sh [10:43] ayekat_, PythonPup, Okay removed it. [10:43] tesuji, I don't think so, but I have not tried. [10:43] PythonPup, What if I made a new partition? [10:43] PythonPup, I need to ask one last thing, using iwconfig. How do I connect to an AP?

I spend as much time here helping what little I can. [10:47] the best application used for playing .au audio file [10:47] classical: 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 in [10:47] classical: Typically, DISPLAY=:0 will suffice [10:47] Guest18785, 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] classical: it does [10:48] please answer me anyone [10:48] classical: You want gnome-schedule for running X apps in cron [10:48] classical it won't work [10:48] PythonPup, If it's that hard it's not worth it. Maybe Windoze will catch up and it will be able to read EXT some day [10:49] Guest18785, 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] Guest18785, I have heard of NTFS filesystems becoming corrupted. [10:50] PythonPup, How do I do it? I will try it and see how it works. [10:50] classical: No, it failed to start. For example, run it from a tty and see what it says [10:50] driving me nuts!~ [10:50] ! tty | classical [10:50] classical: 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).

[11:35] nexus6__: right clcik on panel choose add to panel- click the launcher button- choose app from menu [11:35] nexus6__: go to menu, select application, right-click and "add to panel" [11:35] nice timing there :) [11:35] ani__: Ubuntu is different [11:35] Ileden, http://pastebin.com/yUHkVUPb this does not works why ? :-( i executing this bash script but no email in my inbox :-(( [11:36] it looks like i dont have a right click option in the menu. i have xubuntu [11:36] jon_ "you just FLUSH PRIVILEDGES as a query" [11:36] ani__: Here updates only install patches, new versions of packages are in complete-distro-updates [11:36] apparently Im told to tell you to google it. its a simple procedure. [11:37] u mean dist-upgarde [11:37] Taev: hmm i actually tried using phpmyadmin to flush privileges but im still not getting the permission to view/write to tables [11:37] ? [11:37] nexus6__: try asking in #xubuntu then [11:37] classical: I'm not much familiar with /usr/bin/mail... but I'd guess your mail configuration isn't correct. [11:37] i thought xubuntu and ubuntu just divers in performance [11:37] nexus6__: try #xubuntu [11:38] I asked the expert to come here jon_ [11:38] jon__ [11:38] Ileden, haha its works but sents a "mail" in a /home/classical by creating textmail.txt [11:38] jon____ [11:38] you guys have to check out development release of crunchbang linux, it's really, really promising [11:38] cant you connect for real to the mysqld? [11:38] ani__: Yes [11:38] davidd: emm what do you mean? [11:38] with a real mysql-client [11:38] What language designates the value entry 38 in gconftool > /GNOME/Spell Name=language0 Value=38? [11:39] i missed half the story [11:39] davidd: is importing the relevant data into mysql.user from phpmyadmin sufficient to get the users over? [11:39] i guess he means opening a terminal and typing mysqld [11:39] Misterio thanks .. last Q: ^_^' Is there any ISO only for openbox ubuntu ? [11:39] classical: do you have a mailserver (mta) running? [11:40] good morning [11:40] davidd: oh basically i want to move selected users from another server to my server. what i did was export some rows using phpmyadmin and import in into mysql.user [11:40] tables_priv is needed too [11:40] davidd: then i used phpmyadmin to flush privilliages but i still dont see the appropriate users being granted the permissions. [11:40] What does it mean when my screen goes blank/black whenI run OpenArena? [11:41] llutz, nope i don't :-( [11:41] how do i change resolution at the prompt in hardy ? [11:41] davidd: tables_priv is empty for me [11:41] davidd: if it helps, im using directadmin control panel too [11:41] classical: you'll need one, at least configured for local delivery [11:41] http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html [11:42] otherwise add the users the classical way [11:42] and copy the passwords etc later [11:42] i never use phpmyadmin [11:42] i always type my queries myself [11:43] davidd: oh so i need to import stuff into mysql.db as well? [11:43] jon__ there is this channel on this server [11:43] called #phpmyadmin [11:43] maybe that is a good place to ask [11:43] whenever i do it [11:43] i completely import mysql.db [11:43] can't find e17 on synaptic or can't install via apt-get. How can i obtain that Window manager? [11:43] not just 1 table [11:44] than flush privileges [11:44] davidd: any idea which are the tables?

[12:47] Hi - am new to this channel. Have a *basic* question - just installed "lilypond" using "Ubuntu Software Centre" but can't seem to find a way to start the app (ie it doesn't appear in the "Applications" menu - can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or need to do next? Thanks [12:48] hs: Depending on the question, this may not be the best place to ask, but go ahead anyway. [12:48] hi all I'm just about to install Lucid on a new 1TB HDD, I want to partition my drive such that the /home dir can remain intact if I remove Ubuntu or upgrade it etc. I am wondering home to do this as well as what filesystem to use for the main OS, the /home dir and how big I should make the swap partition. Thankd [12:48] philips99: you may try opening a terminal and typing "lilypond" [12:48] philips99: I think you find it from the applications menu somewhere. Or open a terminal and run "lilypond" [12:49] somethinginteres, you could make swap 2X the size of your RAM and it should be fine [12:49] somethinginteres: use 10Gb for /, 1xRAM for swap (I assume you have more than 2Gb RAM) and the rest for /home [12:49] oh, yeah, 2X RAM was an old rule for when we had less of RAM I guess [12:50] polter: its still is the rule of thumb for less than 2gb ram [12:50] polter: its not hard and fast though [12:51] thanks guys. What about the filesystem types for each? ext3,4 etc? [12:51] somethinginteres: you can even cut up the remaining space and mount them in /home to hold different data on different partitions [12:51] somethinginteres: ext4 is fine [12:52] somethinginteres: make them all primary [12:53] actionParsnip:: thanks a lot [12:53] somethinginteres: depends on your needs, 10gb for / is plenty though, the rest you will need to work out [12:54] Have tried using a terminal and typing "lilypond" but just get a "usage" instruction which is followed by a set of available options - I thought that it would start up some GUI? but am I wrong? [12:54] somethinginteres: if you need more than 4 partitions, make the 4th extended, you can then make logical partitions and add as many as you like (within reason) [12:55] actionParsnip: kk [12:55] philips99: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512934 [12:55] philips99: not all apps have guis [12:56] !info denemo | philips99 [12:56] philips99: denemo (source: denemo): A gtk+ frontend to GNU Lilypond.

If I have eth0 up, I cannot ping eth1....I turn eth0 off, eth1 works.....I can provide whatever info you may need.....and thanks again [13:10] somethinginteres: very good question :) I use /home/user/storage :) [13:10] somethinginteres: I'd suggest creating a mount new point under /mnt [13:10] Is there anyway to remove the keyboard icon from the notification area? [13:11] *new mount point === Daltx is now known as Guest18494 [13:12] skeeter101: you may need to define routes using the command: route [13:12] actionParsnip flashplugin-nonfree installs flashplugin-installer too [13:12] Ileden: is there a special reason you mount there? (linux noob) [13:12] Kartagis: I think thats what was missing :) [13:12] somethinginteres: not really. it's a nice location. :) [13:13] thanks guys [13:13] somethinginteres: I don't like /mnt/whatever myself, because it's semantically separated from all my other files, which seems really silly. [13:13] ppl [13:13] any help here guys? [13:13] actionParsnip: would you take a look at the output of "route -n" and let me know if it looks ok? [13:13] Ragnar: what's the questions. [13:14] actionParsnip it seems to have been fixed at the moment, I'll see what happens next. thanks [13:14] Ileden: i've made oem install recently, and now network icon doesn't appear, and wireless is not identified] [13:14] actionParsnip: it just says 1: i8024.reset: not found when i run update-grub .. :( [13:15] Kartagis: np man, always install that package to get flash in 32bit [13:15] Ragnar: it's better to just repeat your question. people don't want to go browse what the question was. as for that question, I cannot help, and maybe nobody else can either, and that's why they aren't responding. or they are just busy. re-ask the question after a while. [13:16] iocc: did you put the boot options in the quotes in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" line?? [13:16] ragnar does ifconfig show all interfaces (eth0 and wlan0 fe) [13:16] skeeter101: sure, pastebin away [13:16] hey [13:16] Ragnar: well, you could try running "sudo service networking start" but that's a long shot :) [13:16] actionParsnip: thanks so much.....here ya go http://pastebin.com/5MC8iYmP [13:17] littlepenguin: wlan0 is down [13:17] Ileden: right i could ) [13:17] If I add UNE repositories to my Ubuntu 10.04 can I then remove it and switch back to original without any problems? [13:17] so ragnar try sudo ifup wlan0 (if its the name of the device) [13:17] actionParsnip: ehm no and now i guess i have written over the orginal file that had that line. [13:18] by UNE I mean of course Netbook Edition ;) [13:18] littlepenguin: which device [13:18] hi. how to check which package has given me some file on disk ? [13:18] skeeter101: line 4 doesn't look right [13:18] ragnar..ok wait 1 moment...console: ifconfig shows what?? [13:18] skeeter101: 255.255.255.248 instead of 255.255.255.0 [13:18] actionParsnip: can you upload a default/grub somewhere? [13:18] Kuba: sure, you select the desktop at logon [13:19] ok sec i'll restart from xubuntu [13:19] Is there anyway to remove the keyboard icon from the notification area? [13:19] actionParsnip: you suggest I change that to 255.0? [13:19] iocc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 click on the /etc/default/grub to show the default file [13:20] skeeter101: it should match the stuff in your interfaces file [13:20] actionParsnip: ok thanks [13:20] actionParsnip: it does [13:20] is there any command present on ubuntu like [ net send * "hi" ] which is from windows..?? or any alternate way?? [13:20] Hello whenever I try to download a package with apt-get I get this [13:21] Get:1 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main libsigc++-2.0-dev 2.2.4.2-1 [110kB] [13:21] ^ This line repeats many times (with the number 1 being 2,3,4 etc). In the end I get an error [13:21] Any package I try [13:21] I want to broadcast message on Ubuntu network... [13:21] p0a: can you pastebin the output please [13:21] actionParsnip: I modified it in the interfaces files, and it changed the output of "route -n". But I am still unable to ping or access via browser the static ip for eth1...... [13:21] p0a, you could try changing repository [13:22] vaibhav "smbclient -M " [13:22] polter, how do I do that? [13:22] actionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/9dVqayJ9 [13:22] okay so when i put any drivers or os dvd/cd ubuntu says autorun not found [13:22] how do i fix that [13:23] littlepenguin: can I send message across my network from this?? [13:23] p0a, System -> Administration -> Software Sources [13:23] Kuba: 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] vaibhav thats 1 possibility that should work.. [13:24] polter, don't have "Administration" under System [13:24] p0a, 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 again [13:24] thune3: https://launchpad.net/~netbook-remix-team/+archive/ppa [13:24] hello [13:24] ive just updtated to 10.0.4 [13:24] littlepenguin: okie... [13:24] it goes well but ive a video problem [13:24] p0a, well, that could be because of language settings, I don't know.. but it's in the same menu where you find user management and synaptic [13:25] seems the black color is not black under pictures and video [13:25] any ideas, welcoem [13:25] p0a: download it manually ;) http://packages.ubuntu.com/pt/lucid/libsigc++-2.0-dev [13:25] hello all [13:25] !hi | guzu [13:25] guzu: 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! [13:26] actionParsnip, I changed repository like polter suggested, I'll try again with apt-ge [13:26] apt-get [13:26] my national ubuntu mirror is down. can i confgure apt to autmatically use another mirror? [13:26] !sources.list | guzu [13:26] guzu: 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 [13:27] guzu: The sources are in "/etc/apt/sources.list", change those and "apt-get update". [13:27] is there a good link on how to install vmware tool? (guest aditions [13:27] Kuba: that's looks like a ppa to add UNR to Jaunty/Intrepid/Hardy (i'm not sure). You shouln't use that, unless you are on 9.04 or before. [13:28] p0a: cool, if not just pull it down and install it with: sudo dpkg -i debfilename; sudo apt-get -f install [13:28] Seppoz_work: The best support would come from them theirselves, #vmware exists I believe. [13:29] thx [13:29] Seppoz_work: No problem. :-) [13:29] actionParsnip: I modified it in the interfaces files, and it changed the output of "route -n". But I am still unable to ping or access via browser the static ip for eth1......any ideas on where I can start? [13:29] how do I set CD/DVD as 1# boot ? [13:29] guzu: System>Admin...>Software Sources [13:30] skeeter101: not sure dude, could ask in ##networking [13:30] thanx [13:30] marel in bios boot order settings [13:30] i have a problem under 10.04, ive just upgraded from 9.10. The rendreing of black color has a problem, its not black. Its about pictures and video. How can i correct this. Thanks for the help! [13:30] marel: depends on BIOS. It varys wildly [13:30] crap! I somehow removed libxml2 and now half my software is gone [13:30] because it used that package [13:30] can I undo that [13:31] can't even launch a terminal [13:31] !tty [13:31] 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. [13:31] p0a: boot to livecd then chroot [13:31] and then? [13:31] how do I find out which software I accidentally removed by removing libxml2 so I can reinstall it? [13:32] holy crap I trashed my system [13:32] p0a, you can most often get a functioning system by installing some meta-package like ubuntu-desktop [13:32] Hey guys I can't seem to get my sound to work. [13:32] p0a: dpkg -S filename [13:32] where filename is? [13:32] Im running 8.04 and the speakers are good I've tested them on another box. I've made sure all the mixer inputs are on [13:33] p0a: the filename you removed [13:33] Ive even gone through and changed the sources from auto detect, alsa, enlightened, network, so on so forth [13:33] no sound [13:33] actionParsnip: very sad but it didnt work. Got any more ideas? [13:33] the system is detecting the sound card === 77CAA08UV is now known as Daltx` [13:33] and I reinstalled pulseaudio, and alsa [13:33] taev did you make sure the outputs are on as well?? [13:33] yes [13:33] iocc: try using irqpoll as a bootoption too/instead of [13:33] Taev: alsamixer -c0 ? [13:33] no that's not it actionParsnip [13:34] I don't get the files that were removed [13:34] why the fuck couldn't I stop apt-get like I normally do with ^C [13:34] when I saw it removing all these [13:34] !language [13:34] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:34] yes all 100 [13:34] Taev: nothing uted? [13:34] No. [13:35] hi...how would i automate the installation of a list of packages? i don't know the complete set of packages i will need yet, and i'm looking for a way to manage the list over time... [13:35] any ideas? [13:35] actionParsnip: Ok, I'll try [13:35] taev when playing a sound file does it play but no sound is heard? [13:35] my system probably won't even reboot [13:35] lol [13:35] yes littlepenguin [13:35] Ive tried multiple players [13:35] and the settings/sound "test hardware" [13:35] libxml2 removed everything [13:35] holy fuck [13:36] p0a: Please mind your language here. [13:36] iocc: those are the 3 options I know to make touchpads nice [13:36] !clone | kinygos [13:36] kinygos: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [13:36] Taev: the output, is digital or analog? [13:36] Pici, unless I get help real fast I don't think I'll care anymore [13:36] do you have a solution? [13:36] what do you mean? [13:36] Are there any ubuntu professionals in here? [13:36] p0a: enough with the drama. [13:36] how do I revert what apt-get just did by 'apt-get remove libxml2' [13:36] p0a: switch to a tty console reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package [13:37] that won't revert anything [13:37] its connected to the onboard sound card using a standard audio jack [13:37] p0a: Check your /var/log/dpkg.log for what was removed. [13:37] will i be able to edit the "my-packages" file to remove an offending package for example? [13:37] taev under sound settings you can choose digital out or analog..have you tried different settings there? [13:37] kinygos: yes [13:37] awesome, thanks :) [13:38] what do you mean sound settings? [13:38] Taev: you can always boot to hardy live cd and check the module options, then apply them to lucid [13:38] I've got settings/sound & multimedia [13:38] and theres no option for that there [13:38] yes taev [13:38] Pici, doesn't mention anything [13:38] can you speak polish [13:38] ??

[13:40] Im using 8.04 under KDE [13:40] Taev: system > pref > sound ? [13:40] if that helps [13:40] rgnr ifconfig [13:40] oh no idea [13:40] i can log into gnome if it helps [13:40] who the fuck would guess that you could trash a system by sudo apt-get remove libxml2 [13:40] p0a: a situation of your own making. [13:40] !ir | testt [13:40] testt, please see my private message [13:40] hello [13:40] sipior, wow thanks for pointing out the obvious [13:40] taev install pavucontrol and adjust pulse with it [13:40] actionParsnip: neither is working :/ [13:40] p0a: you gotta make sure yo are removing the correct packages :P [13:41] p0a: when you see a list as long as your arm is about to be removed, you choose N [13:41] hahaha [13:41] p0a: just always be careful when using sudo.. [13:41] you could just use -s when running any apt-get operation. problem solved [13:42] when I run /usr/bin/pavucontrol from the terminal I get a pop up box saying Connection Failed: Connection Refused [13:43] actionParsnip: i guess I'll have to use an external usb mouse... [13:43] then a 2nd box saying the same thing [13:43] running a ruby command (installing Command-T plugin for vim) i get an error for missing "mkmf" ? any idea? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [13:43] taev which sound system you are using? [13:43] !ir > testt [13:43] testt, please see my private message [13:43] iocc: just hunt round for more guides, just because 1 person doesn't know the answer doesn't mean all is lost [13:43] I've tried them all [13:43] actionParsnip: yep.. [13:43] but currently its set for "auto detect" [13:44] !ru | testt [13:44] taev you have the option to choose pulse=? [13:44] iocc: jeez, if you look for the make and model of the lappy you may find guides with the boot options you need or there may be a bug logged for the model you have [13:44] I accidentally removed libxml2 and now apt-get has trashed my system by removing almost all my software. How can I revert this? dpkg -S libxml2 and checking /var/log/dpkg.log did NOT help. [13:44] Ive got Open Sound System, ALSA, Enlightened, Threaded, and Network [13:44] p0a reinstall ubuntu-desktop package or reinstall [13:44] the whole system [13:44] taev choose alsa [13:44] p0a: Not sure if you saw my pm, but check /var/log/apt/history.log or one of the logrotated files depending on how long ago you did it. [13:45] ok i did and it restarted the sound system [13:45] ok [13:45] p0a you can probably find the solution to your problem in /wrists [13:45] still no sound [13:45] !commands [13:45] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

It mentions all the packages I removed. How could I possibly reinstall them? Do I have to do it by hand? [13:46] i tried pavucontrol again, got the same error Connection Refused [13:46] how to open bios setting in ubuntu ? [13:46] Pici: ok, tnx [13:46] actionParsnip: yes... [13:46] littlepenguin, I'll probably reinstall the whole system. [13:46] taev ok pavucontrol does not work with alsa..its for pulseaudio [13:46] marel, what do you mean, bios-settings? [13:46] marel: you don't its OS independant and is present before ANY OS loads. Ask in ##hardware [13:46] well I have pulseaudio installed [13:46] should I remove it? [13:46] SERIAL PORT -- I want to receive data (sent from a microcotnroller) that's not at a standard baud rate. Is this possible? [13:46] p0a good choice and take it as a note to be carefull while doin anything with sudo ;D [13:46] maybe they are conflicting [13:46] What's the difference between #ubuntu-unregged and #ubuntu ? [13:46] p0a: Yes, or do a re-install. Sorry, those are the only options you really have at this point. [13:46] Howdy [13:46] actionParsnip, its not presented when my pc loads :/ [13:47] kyentei: #ubuntu-unregged is where we forward people when we're having spam issues. You're in #ubuntu right now. [13:47] marel: it is, the BIOS sets up the parameters for the hardwar which are then detected by your chosen OS [13:47] taev if you installed it afterwords yes remove it..then reboot [13:47] Pici: I just joined #ubuntu again. I'm in both [13:47] well it was installed already, I just reinstalled it when I couldn't get it working. [13:47] I'll remove it and reboot. brb 2 mins [13:47] marel: you need to RTFM and see how to enter the BIOS to set it up [13:48] umm when I go to remove pulseaudio [13:48] kyentei: You're not in -unregged. Your IRC client may have gotten confused as '#ubuntu-ungregged' is one of the arguments to a mode we have placed on this channel. [13:48] it says it has to remove ubuntu-desktop [13:48] is it compulsory to have dropbox installed in order to use it? or i can just use it only from their web site? [13:48] no taev dont do it [13:48] Pici: Ah, I see - my bad. [13:48] so now what? [13:49] I can't activate nVidia driver for xubuntu lucid, it says "You are not authorized to perform this action", can anyone help [13:50] what are the worse scenarios that can happen after installing a self-compiled kernel? [13:50] system wont boot your kernel [13:51] abhijit: you can use dropbox via website if you wish [13:51] trongthanh, try running jockey-gtk as root [13:51] guzu, what should i do if that happens? [13:51] Does anyone know how I can delete everything between parenthesis () in a file? [13:51] JoeMaverickSett: boot an older kernel [13:51] and the parenthesis themselves [13:51] JoeMaverickSett: boot an old kernel and check your kernel-config [13:51] actionParsnip, ok [13:51] Taev: you can do that, its a hollow meta-package. It wont remove its content :) [13:52] could you give me a guide? a website or a manual? [13:52] abhijit: its a handy thing to have though, saves having to access the site each time but if you have no admin powers etc then http is fine [13:52] polter, thanks, it's downloading the driver now [13:52] actionParsnip, yah.

[13:54] llutz, having a look at that. thanks. you too, guzu. [13:54] daniel_tree: if your cpu is 64bit-capable, yes [13:54] Pici, I gathered all the names of the packages in a single file, separated by newline. How can I tell apt-get to install these files? [13:54] daniel_tree, yes. [13:54] and hopefully fix my system again?

[13:55] Gnea, hmm? what that about? [13:55] daniel_tree: hardware issues? [13:56] RoyalBacon, I really enjoy it...but I think there are some kernel bugs or something..that acpi gives errors after a while [13:56] I've experience this before, everytime I tried to install nVidia driver on xubuntu lucid [13:56] but on ubuntu lucid it works fine [13:56] RoyalBacon: karmic isn't old, its still just as supported as Lucid [13:56] daniel_tree, thats the alternate cd. i think you need the original one. i dunno the difference but in first place you need original one not the alternate. [13:56] trongthanh, maybe this could help http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8973959&postcount=5 [13:56] abhijit: you don't know what a python script is? [13:56] abhijit: the alternative installs in text mode and doesnt give a liveCD desktop [13:57] Gnea, I know. but you provided me that script for what? [13:57] trongthanh, but I haven't tried it myself so I can't give guarantees [13:57] Guys, please help me. I have a file that lists packages separated by newline. How can I feed it to apt-get ? [13:57] so that it installs them [13:57] abhijit, what's the original one ? [13:57] polter, thanks I'll try [13:57] abhijit: you cannot do an offline upgrade with the desktop but can with the alternate [13:57] daniel_tree: try an older release, but if you experience the same problems, just try to fix them on the latest version ;) [13:57] !clone | p0a [13:57] p0a: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [13:57] daniel_tree, see actionParsnip msg give to me [13:57] abhijit: I didn't provide it to you, just the information. it's a script that is deployed from dropbox, it's a script, therefore it's open source. [13:57] actionParsnip, ok [13:58] actionParsnip, I don't want to clone, I described precisely my problem :P [13:58] Gnea, ohhh I see :) ok ok [13:58] there's probably some sort of format that sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages has that I don't have so your solution won't work [13:58] abhijit, can u give me a link to the original one...I am puzzled [13:58] hi. I want to buy an Asus x5dij notebook. how can I verify if ubuntu 10.04 supports it ? [13:58] unless there's no such thing in which case I'll try it [13:59] how do i clean the java.cache?

[13:59] the previous stable version [13:59] RoyalBacon: daniel_tree just feed the x64b checkbox [13:59] no need, I've got it [13:59] how do i clean the java.cache? [13:59] torrent [14:00] wow I have to install 1GB of packages :] [14:00] p0a: read the factoid, it tells how to feed the list into apt, read what is output rather than what you thinnk it says [14:01] actionParsnip, I apologise, your solution helped much. I'm reinstalling everything and hopefully that will fix things. I really want my system back. [14:01] daniel_tree, see on this page http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ scroll down there is torrent link [14:01] what would be the easiest way to install ubuntu server if I dont have physical access to the server? I'm used to install my systems via debootstrap normally [14:01] i have to many bankID in my firefox, and i have to clean the java cache.. somebody help me? [14:01] i keep having these errors when i install package using apt-get or ssynaptic.. setting up ca-certificates-java.. error adding brasil.gov.br/brasil.gov.br.crt and many more the 'error adding' things.. does anybody know any solution? [14:01] hod o i install my linux kernel-headers? [14:02] daniel_tree, the one you need is "ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent " [14:02] is it possible to install Internet Explorer, or something else that renders the pages the same way, for web development purposes in Ubuntu? [14:02] frxstrem: theres ies4linux but its pretty poor. The only real way is with a virtualbox [14:03] is it good to add the ppa source first before installing a package or there is no difference? [14:03] downloading... :) [14:03] !wine | frxstrem tried wine? [14:03] frxstrem tried wine?: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [14:03] frxstrem: I just got IE7 running in Crossover Office. It runs pretty well but you have to pay for the product... [14:03] any solution to my problem? [14:03] !yay | daniel_tree [14:03] daniel_tree: Glad you made it! :-) [14:03] 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? [14:04] frxstrem: ies4linux uses wine and comes with preinstalled IE versions, afaik [14:04] t4m1n0_: have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:05] will it recognize that I have opensuse on my machine too..or would I have to add it to the grub menu by myself ? [14:05] actionParsnip, abhijit, binaryflow, oskar-: thanks :) [14:05] i think the 'ca-certificates-java' file is broken but i have reinstalled it but no luck for me [14:05] daniel_tree, after you install it it will automatically detect suse. (---**In Normal conditiosn**--) ;) [14:06] conditions* [14:06] actionParsnip: first thing I did [14:06] hi ppl [14:07] hey jynn [14:07] frxstrem: you need to do it on a virtual machine imho [14:07] this is my first time here! [14:08] frxstrem: there is a module for ie compatibility on firefox windows but not on linux [14:08] t4m1n0_: 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 detecting [14:08] yo yo [14:08] !welcome | jynn [14:08] jynn: Hi!

[14:11] someone suggested to do sudo apt-get update, which gives the same error message [14:11] daniel_tree, i suggest you, that you first look on launchpad if that bug is already submitted if yes then mark it as affecting to you too. and try to provide more details if you can. otherwise open new bug. [14:11] ok i'm sorry, it's a bit faster here than in dutch, i'll start over again [14:12] sarawara: Or you just have to wait a bit ;) Sometimes they respond after several minutes [14:12] actionParsnip: will LTS get new intel drivers? I heard the new, faster drivers will come with 10.10, but I wanna have LTS [14:12] Hi. I just bought a Lenovo S12 laptop, with a 320gb harddrive.

[14:14] hi, does anyone knows where the process flush:8-0 comes from? when writing some GB to harddisk it pops up and puts other processes on disksleep [14:14] be a bit generous with windows , [14:15] I have successfuly installed Ubuntu last version 10.4, how may I install 3G USB modem?

[14:19] bihari, just do uname -a and patse output here [14:19] bihari: i686 can be called x86 [14:19] lastlog blueonyx [14:19] DrPoO: it depends on whether they use upstart scripts or not... [14:20] jrib, how do i tell the difference? [14:20] DrPoO: look in /etc/init/ [14:20] blueonyx: it appears flush:8-0 is part of noflushd package, which is installed by laptop-mode-tools [14:20] oskar-: not really it could imply it was i386 [14:20] !uname -a [14:20] jrib, they are in /etc/init.d [14:20] thune3: but i dont have it installed :/ [14:20] Linux root-0s 2.6.31-22-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 27 00:22:23 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [14:20] i was going to do an update-rc.d -f mysql remove [14:20] DrPoO: ok. Are they in /etc/init/? [14:21] bihari, you dont have 64 bit cpu [14:21] jrib, yes [14:21] bihari: that means you have a 32 bit kernel, doesn't say anything about your processor though [14:21] I see [14:21] bihari, then do cat /proc/cpuinfo and pastebinit its output [14:21] DrPoO: edit the files in /etc/init/ and add "never" as a condition to start (or comment the present start conditions and just create a line that starts on never) [14:22] im seeing a LOT of activity coming from port 4713 on localhost back to random ports on localhost. does anyone know what it might be?

[14:24] jrib, the processs i need to stop is mysql [14:24] DrPoO: yes, you said this.

[14:25] StuckMojo: kubuntu-desktop [14:25] bihari, you HAVE 64 bit cpu [14:25] !kde | StuckMojo [14:25] that simple? [14:25] StuckMojo: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [14:25] StuckMojo: yeah, then you'll have an option to choose your environment at the login screen [14:25] so there's no need or reason to get the specialized kbuntu disk [14:25] StuckMojo: well if you don't want gnome, but only kde... [14:26] !kernel [14:26] 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 stages [14:26] jrib: i'm quite familiar with debian/ubuntu, but i've never actually tried the full kde desktop [14:26] I hear people exist like that, but I don't know, sounds crazy [14:26] is there some kernel channel? [14:26] was about to install on an old laptop, was thinking of taking it for a spin for giggles [14:26] StuckMojo, its simple to install and use. but if wish to install use and then remove then its not the simple. it creates loooooooootttttttsssssssss of problems. e.g. Look at me!!! :( [14:26] Hi all, I have a fresh install (2 week old) of ubuntu 10.04. Cups does not start at boot time and i have tu run /etc/init.d/cups start. And this morning i just saw that when i type runlevel, i get unknown. Can someone hlep me fix this ? [14:26] I mean to my issue. :) [14:26] daniel_tree: sure, at least if you compile and install it yourself... but i would never do that [14:26] abhijit: that shouldn't be the case anymore [14:27] yeah this is a throwaway laptop, so no worries on getting rid of it [14:27] jrib, help please? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1542391 [14:27] I want to know what I will have to enable in the kernel so that my Ra2500 USB wireless usbstick works, as it works out of the box with ubuntu. I enabled RA2500USB but I dont know what I will have to enable in USB Network Adapters ---> - can anyone help? [14:27] i've run plenty of kde apps, with libs and such (just like gnome, which i don't run either) [14:27] oskar-, so there is no such think as "one click" upgrade..or something..u have to compile the source...hm... [14:27] !here | abhijit [14:27] i'm an openbox guy [14:27] abhijit: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [14:27] jrib, I am trying from 5 days now. no help. can you please just visit that link? [14:28] abhijit: i ass-u-me you've tried aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop [14:28] thune3: totally sure, both outputs nothing [14:28] abhijit: I did, but I'm asking you to give a summary next time [14:28] jrib, ok [14:28] StuckMojo, no see my issue here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1542391 [14:28] yeah i'm looking [14:28] abhijit: are those the only issues? [14:29] jrib, yes. [14:29] try a forced resinstall of wxwidgets [14:29] daniel_tree: maybe a third party repository offers a more recent gnome? maybe you also want to take a look the development version (#ubuntu+1 ?) [14:29] for the pgadmin3 problem [14:29] abhijit: and you're sure these issues did not exist before and that libwxgtk2.8-0 was the same version? [14:29] Hi guys, Just installed ubuntu 10.04 lts on a vps [14:30] jrib, yes I am sure. [14:30] although apparmor is installed and I execute /etc/init.d/apparmor start [14:30] abhijit: although, this could be a excuse for you to learn to use psql and get off the pgadmin gui crutch ;) [14:30] aa-status and apparmor_status say module not loaded [14:30] ManDay: i have a 2501 usb, will have a look at my .config [14:30] oskar-, hm.. [14:31] abhijit: did you see the bug report? [14:31] blueonyx: i must be wrong then, still looking.... [14:31] abhijit: maybe try aptitude reinstall --force libwxbase2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-0 [14:31] unless jrib has found there's a bug [14:31] apparmor help anyone? [14:31] StuckMojo: it's in the forum thread, linked by someone else [14:31] StuckMojo, thats not the pgadmin problem its kde problem. [14:31] jrib, yes i see. i also submitted two new bug reports. [14:32] jrib: yeah just followed it [14:32] abhijit: did you follow what the comments provided as a solution? [14:32] oskar-: thanks, i might have uterrly been mistaken tho, nvm [14:32] jrib, no [14:32] abhijit: so do that [14:32] the USB Network Adapters is for ETHERNET not Wlan [14:32] oskar-: ^ [14:32] jrib hey can you give me bug link? [14:32] i misread that [14:32] Sapsan wrote on 2010-07-29: It's happened after yesterday system updates. [14:32] abhijit: it's in the thread you linked us to [14:32] abhijit: looks like a cooincidence [14:32] jrib, I see [14:32] abhijit: it just happened to break while you were using kde [14:33] it's not related [14:33] abhijit: it's not related to kde [14:33] right [14:33] jrib, i just ddnt noticed that someone replied :( [14:33] thune3: thanks in advance :) [14:33] abhijit: comment #9 provides a solution [14:33] abhijit: you could go get the deb-src and rebuild it yourself [14:34] yup, just what #9 says :) [14:34] although their's easier instructions i think [14:34] apt-get build-deps no? [14:34] jrib: ? [14:34] Is there a reason that im booting in runlevel unknown in ubuntu 10.04? [14:34] jrib, StuckMojo okk [14:34] yes [14:35] my ubuntu froze; window went darker and the 2 lights on keyboard are flashing above numpad.. what is going on? [14:35] StuckMojo: yes, and he can just pass --build to apt-get too [14:35] so apt-get source pgadmin3; apt-get build-dep pgadmin3 === iFDH is now known as iFDHonWheels [14:35] image burned to iso....guys..I am going in...see you on the other side !! [14:35] ManDay: in "Device Drivers", there is "Wireless LAN", "Ralink driver support" and there "RT2500USB" and "RT73USB". maybe that helps... [14:35] ah yeah [14:36] isn't there an invocation for aptitude to do the same? [14:37] jrib, StuckMojo can i apply the same rules to codelite? [14:37] abhijit: probabaly [14:37] abhijit: check it's bug reports [14:37] jrib, now trying. thanks [14:37] I'm thinking of updating my old system (a Toughbook CF-18, with the slightly buggy i855 Intel video chipset). The old (as in 8.10) drivers work. What file is the x11 driver so that I can keep a copy of it and restore the old one if the new one asplodes? [14:37] StuckMojo, okk [14:38] oh wait, yeah, it's also a wxwidgets problem, so probably yes [14:38] sudo apt-get source --build pgadmin3 [14:38] then install the resulting deb [14:38] StuckMojo: do you know if that pulls in build-dups automatically? [14:38] and do it again for codelite [14:38] ok, i'll ask again? [14:38] deps even [14:38] jrib: not sure [14:38] i've rarely done it the easy way like that [14:39] you might have to apt-get build-deps pgadmin3 first [14:39] I have 9.10, troubles with updating and get the following error message : http://pastebin.com/KERmLsxe, I also needed to do 2 fsck two times over the last days (computer 1 year old).

Unfortunately it seems to have died after it got too many requests. [14:40] abhijit, you're talking to me? cause that was the guy's diagnose too [14:40] StuckMojo: I believe there is a bug filed for that pgadmin issue. [14:41] Pici: yes there is, we were just looking at it [14:41] sarawara, no not to you [14:41] Pici: in the bug report someone reports that rebuilding from source solves it [14:41] hmm...appears to only be broken on 64bit [14:42] i've got pgadmin on my 32bit lucid laptop, but not my 64bit desktop [14:42] i was going to break it and test it out ;) [14:42] ah what the hell... [14:42] blueonyx: sorry, apparently these kernel threads are part of the per-device flush architecture in kernels 2.6.32 and later. (i'm on 9.10 so i didn't have them). What is the problem? [14:42] * StuckMojo installs it [14:42] could there be a problem with ext4 on a 500GB parition? even the mkfs takes ages [14:42] * abhijit prays to god for StuckMojo [14:42] blueonyx: it shouldn't take long at all [14:42] blueonyx, nope, should work fine [14:42] i'm running ext4 on TB disks [14:43] I have over 3TB ext4 partitions [14:43] Question how to use passwords encruption keys option [14:44] so the problem with [flush:8-0] is that it produces disk load and puts other threads in disksleep mode (as htop calls it) [14:44] what is exactly the "passwords encrupton keys" option what are the uses and feature of it. [14:44] blueonyx: but what does that mean practically? what is the consequence? [14:45] hmph. pgadmin3 works fine for me [14:45] How do you download an flv video in Ubuntu Linux ? [14:45] mmph. he left i guess [14:46] my calculation are put to sleep and the system doesnt respond (it takes nano several seconds to save a 10 line file, apt-get uprade takes minutes for just one package,...) [14:46] i just installed it and it worked fine. maybe the package has already been updated [14:46] if you download Java from the Sun site it works better than OpenJava to me [14:46] hi i got an error when updating thats "Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [14:46] E: Unable to lock the list directory [14:46] " any one plz guide me .

[14:48] PerryArmstrong: what I told you is automated... [14:48] blueonyx: when running heavy io on the same hardware device, these sort of stalls happen. You could run the heavy i/o job with idle i/o priority using "ionice -c 3 " to minimize this effect.

[14:49] Google Chrome works well on Ubuntu Linux [14:49] SimonSayez, you can have it open, but it can't be running when you start installing [14:49] thune3: no, iotop shows nothing (except flush:8-0 from time to time, for a split second) and my calculation just use cpus [14:50] Google Earth keeps crashing on my Ubuntu System [14:50] it keeps crashing on a signal 6 [14:50] oskar-, not sure if it would apply....may be able to do it that way [14:50] jrib; ok...i am not so good with linux.....and i dont know the commands well.. so can you tell me the syntax [14:50] no one? (my connection was interupted) [14:51] PerryArmstrong: man page has syntax, if you're still confused after looking at the top of it, the -exec portion, and the examples for 5 minutes, I'll help you more [14:51] oskar-, the problem I have is the xsession spawned agent crashed and left all its artifacts about [14:51] jrib; thanks i'll check out [14:51] hia [14:52] hrm [14:52] looks like removing the artifact and then doing that works [14:52] thanks [14:52] Try this Google Chrome web browser http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=en&brand=CHMA&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-sk&utm_medium=ha [14:52] blueonyx: can i pm? [14:54] Do you know how to run Google Chrome in incognito mode ? [14:54] on start up [14:54] Hey [14:55] I have a problem thats related to ubuntu, can someone help? [14:55] !ask | mr [14:55] 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). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:55] Does ubuntu server ed. support mpp or RDAC driver for SAN storages? [14:55] bredoto: no more / less than the desktop edition [14:55] Right [14:56] bredoto: I've check your cards support in the kenrel version of ubuntu [14:56] lol @ bredoto name [14:56] * jrib doesn't get it [14:56] I hope Google fixes Google Earth for Ubuntu real soon [14:56] I want to keep a package installed but tell apt not to update it. Does anyone know how to do that? [14:56] Basically 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) [14:57] !pinning | cfedde [14:57] cfedde: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [14:57] How do I do this with minimum risk to windows 7. [14:57] jrib++ # awesome! thanks [14:57] mr: just install suse over ubuntu === alerpiz is now known as alper [14:58] ikonia, but thats impossable without deleting windows 7 as well i thought [14:58] cfedde: do you want to "hold" that package? http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-prevent-a-package-from-being-updated-in-debian.html === Nick_ is now known as Guest72927 [14:58] mr: nope [14:58] There is a question, when should I use kernel with PAE enabled. [14:58] ikonia, any ideas how to compile RDAC driver into iso image of ubuntu? =) [14:58] mr: just install open suse to the ubuntu partition [14:58] bredoto: have you checked the kernel support for it first ? [14:58] I swear Grub2 was designed by the Devil [14:58] How do i know what one is the ubuntu partion and what ones the windows7 [14:58] pae is for 32 bit systems to adress more than 4 gb ram..but im not sure [14:58] mr, no, basically you just need to know which partitions house ubuntu and which house windows and only install opensuse on the ubuntu partition [14:58] Grub2 is too damn complicated [14:59] Ok [14:59] Yes, I know [14:59] mr: the installer should make it clear [14:59] ikonia, how can i do that? [14:59] mr, try running gparted [14:59] mr: check with the suse channel, but it should be fine [14:59] it should be able to identify the windows partition for you [14:59] bredoto: researcher1 the drivers support in the kernel version ubuntu is running [14:59] I use 32bit Xubuntu and I have only 512MB of RAM [14:59] black prince u won t need it [14:59] and another question (last one). Will the ubuntu devs generally fix problems like I am having with my wireless. [14:59] Ok, thanks [14:59] (ie, the partition will either be a FAT or NTFS partition) [14:59] bredoto: look in the 2.6.32 kernel support notes [14:59] Because i LOVE ubuntu =/ [14:59] mr: did you find a bug report? [15:00] mr How old is your computer ? [15:00] no mr I LOVE HER, the sexy ubuntu [15:00] mr, ubuntu doesn't really write the drivers for wireless cards, it is more down to the linux kernel team and such [15:00] ikonia, tnx i am looking at the moment [15:00] Simon, its a Dell mini 10, and its a common problem with my broadcom wireless driver. [15:00] are there md5sums around for the cds? [15:00] mr, have you tried using ndiswrapper? [15:00] mr did you try ndiswrapper ? [15:00] sorry liberate? [15:00] !md5sums [15:00] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [15:00] Do not know what that is. [15:00] mr, If its a Dell its supported well in Linux [15:01] mr, ndiswrapper allows you to use the windows drivers [15:01] it's a wrapper that lets you use the windows drivers [15:01] jrib: thx [15:01] If i connect to wired connection with ubuntu, can you help me do it from there [15:01] Oh no [15:01] My wireless driver works fine. [15:01] jrib: you know, they really hide some stuff on the site [15:01] mr: so what doesn't work? [15:01] mr, use the ndiswrappers [15:01] the connections pick up [15:01] jrib: there's no obvious links to the mirrors list either [15:01] BUT [15:01] they can not connect to WEP2 security [15:01] !enter | mr [15:01] mr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:01] StuckMojo: 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.com [15:02] mr, connect to a wired connection and open synaptic package manager and search for ndiswrapper [15:02] And my router only offers that sevice of encryption btw [15:02] ikonia, seems it supports this feature [15:02] mr I found that even stuff like caps can stuff up the keys [15:02] SimonSayez, my ubuntu already picks up the wireless signal, will it help with that or..? [15:02] try to use a simple lowercase key [15:02] mr: googling wep2 all I find is "insecure blah blah blah" [15:03] yeah its fairly insecure jrib, but I live nearly by myself in the wireless range [15:03] How do I prevent the darkening of the screen when I enter a passwort e.g. for software installation [15:03] mr, did you do apt-get update on your system yet [15:03] mr: so use wep :P [15:03] Lol jrib, I dont think my router can [15:03] mr: that's weird, what router? [15:03] And SimonSayez, let me go into ubuntu and xchat as its easier [15:04] 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 how [15:04] I read this has to do with kwin [15:04] And jrib a netgear router, shaped as a sky box, no other infomation. [15:04] does anyone know? [15:04] but appears to be 9.4 [15:04] am using lucid lynx [15:04] dpkg: error processing ca-certificates-java (--configure) subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [15:04] 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 image [15:04] have any idea how to solve it? [15:04] I 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] it appears everytime i install a package [15:04] exorcimus: run sudo dpk --configure -a in a terminal, same thing happen? [15:04] Dont use OpenJava instead go directly to the sun site and get Java and install Java via the sh script [15:05] mr you should be able to reset it and then it should use default user/password [15:05] exorcimus: run sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal, same thing happen? [15:05] How would I do that bareego? [15:05] I mean Oracle site [15:05] there should be some lil button you can press with a paperclip [15:05] And would it affect my windows 7 wireless. [15:05] im pretty sure there is a key or shortcut that drops into the root shell while ubuntu is booting [15:05] Ahh I see the button. [15:05] often user/password is admin/admin [15:05] I'd google that first for your model [15:05] Ok mate, gimme 2 mins [15:05] find out first what it is for your model [15:06] jrib : yah , same thing happens [15:06] Dell Mini 10 must have a Dell Ubuntu Linux Live disk search for it [15:06] Nikon_: append "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel parameters [15:06] because Dell makes their own custom version of Ubuntu Linux for their PCs [15:06] this is another error line.. Errors were encountered while processing: ca-certificates-java [15:07] AHHA! I have found the default password and username [15:07] exorcimus: 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 script [15:07] Whats the browser code for wireless settings again? [15:07] its numbers, someone gave it to me before, [15:07] i think th ca-certificates-java is broken , ive tried to reinstall it but still got the same error [15:07] hello all. [15:07] mr: depends on the router... try 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.1 [15:07] what jrib said [15:08] Nikon_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [15:08] Ok [15:08] i have a pcmcia wireless adapter. when i do iwconfig it shows up as wlan0. how can i get it online ..? [15:08] sipior, that is outdated [15:08] iam using ubuntu i want to install wvdial it ask for ubuntu cd is there any alternative method to do that ... [15:08] mr, Didnt Dell send you a Dell customized version of Ubuntu Linux [15:08] i cannot access even the recovery menu [15:08] salve galera! [15:08] muthu_: remove the cd from your sources.list [15:08] No simon [15:08] 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 /" afterwards [15:08] thanks oskar- im trying to do that now [15:08] I got the computer with Win7 [15:08] hello [15:09] mr Do you have an external USB DVDRW drive ? [15:09] Good afternoon. Firstly - thanks for the guidance a few weeks ago on sorting open office, it's now behaving in a pleasingly stable manner. [15:09] ok [15:09] Yeah simon I got USB drive [15:09] how can i fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/573436 bug ? [15:09] = [15:09] im on ubuntu 10.04 [15:09] Secondly - how do I restart the toolbar clock-applet? It has crashed when I opened the calendar and tried to scroll back a month. [15:10] iam using ubuntu i want to install wvdial it ask for ubuntu cd is there any alternative method to do that ... === NiHiL_ is now known as NiH_L [15:10] adamramadhan: don't use the deprecated comment syntax? [15:10] oskar-: it still boots into x [15:10] yet once. Does ubuntu server ed. support mpp or RDAC driver for SAN storages? [15:10] Right guys [15:10] is anybody running ubuntu headlessly? [15:10] jrib: i dont use anything [15:10] and how can i enable it [15:10] I am going to connect to my wired connection and start ubuntu, be right back [15:11] jrib: its a bug but its fixed on the maveric [15:11] but i dont know how to get it [15:11] get the update [15:11] adamramadhan: your files do. Anyway, the last comment gives you an automated way of changing '#' to ';' in the configuration files... [15:11] iam using ubuntu i want to install wvdial it ask for ubuntu cd is there any alternative method to do that ... [15:11] Nikon_: you can also try to boot into single user mode with kernel parameter "S". i don't know if all this works with upstart [15:11] adamramadhan: do you understand what the bug is? [15:11] mr this is the link for the Dell customized version of Ubuntu Linux http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/linux/ubuntu-9-04-dell-factory-recovery-iso.aspx [15:11] jrib: no === stefan__ is now known as N_H_L [15:11] is someone here familiar with OCR tools? I converted a pdf to ppm files, and then used unpaper to remove borders and noise [15:11] mr download the iso and burn to disk [15:11] oskar-: thanks [15:11] adamramadhan: you have configuration files that use '#' for comment. The software doesn't like that anymore. It likes ';' [15:12] Now I wish to convert the clean .ppm files back to a pdf again, but I wish to be able to text search my pdf afterwards [15:12] jrib: there is so many .postinst file , which one do i have to edit? sorry but i am new user in linux [15:12] how do i change it? [15:12] exorcimus: the one for the package you are having trouble with [15:12] should i update php useing Maverick reoi? [15:12] mr Once you install the Dell version of Ubuntu Linux then just update to current ubuntu linux [15:12] jrib, and why did they have to change it ? grrrr [15:12] but how do i do that ? [15:12] oskar-: no dice [15:12] adamramadhan: again, the last comment gives you a sed command to do it... [15:12] adamramadhan, looks like theyre using ";" instead of "#" for comments [15:12] well im typeing php [15:13] in my terminal [15:13] Aha, nevermind chap(ette)s - killing clock-applet pops up a prompt asking if I want to restart it. Nice! [15:13] then the error goes [15:13] Cheery bye! :) [15:13] ah... so # is for comments ; for stuff that actually does something [15:13] and where did i type in # ? [15:13] adamramadhan: you aren't reading what I tell you [15:13] that does make sense [15:13] Nikon_: do you not have a "recovery mode" entry in your grub.cfg? [15:13] sipior-: fsck runs into an error every time ubuntu boots. i need to drop into the shell while its booting to fix that [15:14] jrib: i dont know, about changeing the comment # to ; ? where did i type # ? [15:14] adamramadhan: again, the last comment gives you a sed command to do it... [15:14] does Kooka run on ubuntu? http://kooka.kde.org/ [15:14] After installing vlc, when I go to Places -> home vlc opens and not thunar?? explain someone :D [15:14] iam using ubuntu i want to install wvdial it ask for ubuntu cd is there any alternative method to do that ... [15:14] Nikon_: i would try it with a boot medium like a cd or usb-stick [15:14] oskar-: i have none. that is the problem. [15:15] ive just installed php5 then when i want to check its alright ( typeing php in teermintal without php# or #php ) and the error goes [15:15] omg [15:15] muthu__, you have to take out the CD from your sources list [15:15] where is the # that should i not type [15:15] im reading [15:15] adamramadhan: again, the last comment gives you a sed command to do it... [15:15] adamramadhan, we dont know where you typed "#", maybe you know? what are you doing? it's php related stuff [15:15] hi, could someone help me compile and install extundelete - i dont understand how to do it: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ [15:15] muthu__, edit the file /etc/atp/sources.list [15:15] adamramadhan: it's nothing you type. It exists in files in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d [15:15] /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mcrypt.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0 [15:16] i need someone to explain it to me [15:16] Pardon. When I clck Places -> Home, vlc opens intead of nautilus. Why does vlc opens and not nautilus? [15:16] muthu__: or just use system -> administration -> software sources === lag` is now known as lag [15:16] the bug is /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mcrypt.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0. i do nothing [15:16] muthu__, there should be a line starting with deb cdrom, put a # in front of that [15:16] tweepcat first u need e2fsprogs and e2fslibs (dev) packages [15:17] adamramadhan: you don't seem to understand what we tell you. Is there a language you're more comfortable with? [15:17] ok === lag is now known as Guest41872 [15:17] in aptitude, I typed + when on kubuntu-desktop under Tasks so I would have KDE available. Now the startup screen says kubuntu. I want my orange ubuntu back during the startup phase. [15:17] english [15:17] adamramadhan: then read comment #11 in your bug report and do what it says. [15:17] @tweepcat after that download the package from the site and extract it [15:17] but i dont understand what are you trying to say, change # to ; [15:17] adamramadhan: ignore that, forget we ever said it [15:17] ­pon /server irc.irc-hispano.org [15:18] @tweepcat change into the extracted directory and put ./configure [15:18] in [15:18] type this command to see what kind of Java you have on your system: sudo update-alternatives --config java [15:18] littlepenguin, does it need to be -dev packages? [15:18] adamramadhan, im going to believe you are trolling, that sed line instructs you on how to change "#" to ";" on your ini file, you just showed us the ini tile that is giving you a problem [15:18] @tweep both [15:18] or would 'e2fsprogs' be okay - there is no 'dev' package [15:18] exorcimus: did you find teh file? [15:19] ok forget about the bug, how can i get the new update ? [15:19] @tweepcat from the opage it says:you must first install the binary and development packages for e2fsprogs and e2fslibs. [15:19] in aptitude, I typed + when on kubuntu-desktop under Tasks so I would have KDE available. Now the startup screen says kubuntu. I want my orange ubuntu back during the startup phase. [15:19] adamramadhan: that's not supported [15:19] if there are none just go on [15:19] i dont know how to install the dev package [15:19] there is Fix Released [15:19] but its not on lucid [15:19] adamramadhan: you said it only hit maverick [15:19] I just got Android working on my Ubuntu Linux system [15:20] ok can i just get the marveric php update [15:20] adamramadhan: no [15:20] redhat can do that [15:20] tweepcat for example : e2fslibs ->search in synaptic [15:20] why not ubuntu [15:20] adamramadhan: great... [15:20] ok [15:20] Ubuntu is much much better than Redhat [15:20] use --enablerepo=remi [15:20] !sru | adamramadhan [15:20] adamramadhan: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [15:20] @tweepcat there you see both packages [15:20] and its done [15:20] -dev means thats the developemtn package [15:21] they are installed [15:21] ok fine [15:21] Bareeego: i cant understand can u plz be brief ... [15:21] but it seems that ubuntu dont have a thing that can apt-get marvic php or something like that [15:21] adamramadhan: you can do it, it's just neither supported nor recommended. Especially in this current situation where it's a trivial thing to fix and you've been given a command to do it several times [15:22] muthu__: just use system -> administration -> software sources and disable the cd source [15:22] muthu__, what jrib wrote [15:22] I need an android phone in a bad way [15:23] adamramadhan, why dont you just participate in the bug? Mark yourself as affected and ask how to get the update? You wont do what people already asked you to do, we cant solve the problem for you, that is clearly a bug --- that is how you solve bugs, by using launchpad, if you dont want to use launchpad for the bug then just wait until the fix is officially released [15:23] cant we change lucid to marvic in the deb http://kambing.ui.edu/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted in /etc/apt ? [15:23] then apt-get update [15:23] adamramadhan: if you want a broken system, sure [15:23] then change it again [15:23] wew [15:23] so i have to wait the backport? [15:24] When I clck Places -> Home, vlc opens intead of nautilus. Why does vlc opens and not nautilus? [15:24] adamramadhan: you can either backport it yourself if for some reason you want to ignore what we tell you, do we told you to do, or wait for the backport, yes [15:24] wtf noooooooooooo [15:24] adamramadhan, im saying you can ask on the bug report on how to get the fix ***now***. The people who responded to the bug are developers, I dont think there are any developers on right now otherwise they wouldve helped you already [15:24] ok [15:24] what whould i do ? [15:25] remove the # again ? how do i do that ? [15:25] where ? [15:25] adamramadhan: comment #11 [15:25] tucemiux: The bug report already has the instructions to fix the issue.

[15:34] but will keep trying [15:34] jrib: I can't find "open with tab" [15:34] it doesn't start in a text-ish mode for me, tries to go straight to X [15:35] doesn't seem to like my video though [15:35] t4m1n0_: did you right click on a directory and go to properties? [15:35] ziggy, try logging in to the channel at different times of the day and ask, try posting on the forum as well [15:35] * StuckMojo tries to decide between a karmic install and safe-upgrade or the alternative lucid cd...

[15:36] fabrice: Most IRC clients identify commands with "/". [15:36] StuckMojo, if you really really want to keep your settings and dont want to spend time reinstalling stuff then I would just upgrade, I prefer a clean install once I confirm the latest release works === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [15:37] why someone would need itunes?? [15:37] lol ok io [15:37] t4m1n0_: right, just check "remember this application" there [15:37] Hello, how can I tell Ubuntu not to update grub anymore? [15:37] But keep everything else up to date === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [15:38] littlepenguin, that is off topic but itunes is used in windows to sync with your ipod, people who are new to ubuntu need to figure out what app in ubuntu does the same thing as itunes [15:38] jrib: did it like this but no... when I go to Places -> home it still tries to open vlc :S [15:38] Guys, I am back [15:38] tucemiux but isn t there a better alternative as itunes available? [15:38] t4m1n0_: hmm, does double click a directory in nautilus stay in nautilus? [15:38] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, i always thought you told grub to update manually, not the other way around -- is grub updating automatically? [15:38] And I got into my wireless settings, and I was wrong [15:38] tucemiux: me too, but like i said, the installer cd for lynx ends up in a black screen [15:39] t4m1n0_: Do you see any vlc in the output of this command, run in a terminal? grep x-directory ~/.local/share/applications/mime* [15:39] jrib: yes [15:39] without me ever getting to answer any questions of any kind [15:39] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: "apt-get hold ". [15:39] like there's no place to choose a text install [15:39] tucemiux: yeah, but thats not the problem, the problem is grub breaks every time it updates [15:39] I am using WPA-PSK encryption key instead of WEP2, would that be something to do with the reason why ubuntu cant connect to my wireless [15:39] But instead just pick the signal up [15:39] Because I need to manually make some changes so it will work on my system [15:39] wep2? [15:39] Wep* [15:40] oh well. [15:40] geirha: no [15:40] jrib, StuckMojo that solutions worked for pgadmin. thanks to you all. but it is not working for codelite. can you help? [15:40] Jrib:i disabled cd source but i cant find wvdial in synaptic manager ... [15:40] * StuckMojo downloads the alternative cd [15:40] t4m1n0_: Did you get any output at all? [15:40] abhijit: you might have to wait for them to fix the package then [15:40] Cyber_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 manually [15:40] geirha: yes [15:40] mr 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] abhijit: check it's bug reports [15:40] muthu_: pastebin your sources.list [15:40] Penguin, Ok, let me try it now [15:40] tucemiux: Its not a bug, it has to do with my messed up system [15:41] ONE more question === FreshPrince_ is now known as FreshPrince [15:41] I need to force grub to use ata mode instead of bios mode to read my drives [15:41] geirha: /home/tamino/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache:x-directory/gnome-default-handler=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop AND this one: /home/tamino/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache:x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop [15:41] it defaults to bios mode on install [15:41] Infact d/w [15:41] brb [15:41] 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] StuckMojo, 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 work [15:41] i'm not missing something, like some what to get the lucid install cd to kick into text mode, am i? [15:41] muthu_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [15:42] why is ubuntu 10.04 broken? [15:42] abhijit: sudo apt-get install build-dep codelite [15:42] ok, if the board recognize a smaller disk size, but the disk has existing partitions, will ubuntu using those partitions in those boards corrupt the data? [15:42] and not fixed (iso) [15:42] I'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] t4m1n0_: Hm. What about grepping for directory instead of x-directory? [15:42] Cyber_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 #grub [15:42] saymoo: broken in what way? [15:42] wessel, i guess it's called baobab [15:42] StuckMojo, ok let me try [15:42] tucemiux: its more that im using a bypass to make my system bootable in the first place [15:42] abhijit: that automagically finds and installs them for you [15:42] StuckMojo, fresh install gives thousands of people a blank screen. (during first boot after install) [15:43] tucemiux: and reinstalling grub with default options undoes that bypass [15:43] wessel: Its in Applications>Accessories as 'Disk Usage analyzer' in Gnome by default. [15:43] saymoo: it's doing that to me right now, before the install [15:43] so i'll be using the alternate cd [15:43] even worse :) [15:43] StuckMojo, that tellme that everything is already installed. === joerg_ is now known as Sandmann [15:44] i find this lts release a bad practise of the ubuntu fame [15:44] geirha: I get a few more http://pastebin.com/5DgBAK1r [15:44] Pici, I have successfuly install Ubuntu 10.4, I am using 3G USB modem, but is does not detect automatic, how to install the modem? [15:44] aha, i see, you do need to hit escape to get the menu [15:44] the karmic version (although it had also bugs) was usable.. 10.04 aint [15:44] tucemiux: 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] saymoo: it happens. X doesn't play will with all video cards [15:44] tucemiux: it re-installs in bios mode every time its updated [15:44] t4m1n0_: Ah, there it is in mimapps.list. Edit that file and remove "vlc.desktop;" from that line. [15:44] Cyber_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 updates [15:44] wessel baobab [15:45] tucemiux: its more installing it with a ata module instad of the bios model, rather than a config file [15:45] StuckMojo, well, all previous versions of ubuntu works fine here, and at my work. [15:45] module* [15:45] saymoo: so? you were lucky :) [15:45] tucemiux: its not so much ofngiured as its installed with different settings in the first place [15:45] but, this 10.04 just goes blank, and after searching the forums, newslists, thousands have the exact same issue. previous versions do work, new one doesnt [15:45] saymoo: why don't you report a bug? [15:45] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, you need to go to #grub [15:45] saymoo: and thus help fix it [15:46] tucemiux: I talked there, they just told me to stop updating grub [15:46] t4m1n0_: You can also remove the whole line if you want. Then it should revert to the default; nautilus. [15:46] I 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] saymoo: i'd guess it's related to X/video chipset [15:46] plymouth i think [15:46] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, ok so you got the same advice in 2 different channels [15:46] geirha: thanx [15:46] That is when they talk at all [15:47] Howdy, I need to use the open source drivers to get features that the nvidia drivers do not support, but I also need an xorg.conf to be in place so I can use my touchscreen. [15:47] helllo how can i install galaxium === msanchez is now known as msanchez_afk [15:47] saymoo: so don't boot into X [15:47] t4m1n0_: You're welcome. [15:47] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, in case you were confused, the way you stop grub from automatically updating is by running the updates manually [15:47] saymoo: and try some different video drivers [15:47] i cannot choose that, since i don see anything at all [15:47] saymoo: see if you can figure it out [15:47] after post bios [15:47] total blank [15:47] :) [15:47] saymoo: you don't even get a grub menu? [15:47] no [15:47] but i do hear the gdm music [15:48] saymoo: you're saying you get a blank screen before the kernel even boots? [15:48] after a few seconds [15:48] hey, i have a problem when i hibernate, my laptop completely shutsdown [15:48] then that's something else then [15:48] hello [15:48] saymoo, try pressing the little button on the monitor [15:48] jrib: plz iam very new to this can u plz be [15:48] hey, i have a problem when i hibernate, my laptop completely shutsdown [15:48] tucemiux: its not the "update-grub" command I wnat to stop, that works fine, I mean when the stage1 bootloader itself is updated === EagleScreen is now known as Guest20902 [15:48] how can I chnage my password of my login keyring in 10.04? [15:48] jmknsd, someone will help you if you mention the nvidia card that you have, if someone has experience with the card or knows of a guide that can help you they will surely reply [15:48] DiploCat, i already tried turning on off the display.. [15:48] the one installed on ym MBR [15:48] but, nothing [15:48] oh, ok [15:49] :) [15:49] orite [15:49] and that amazes me === lag is now known as Guest96571 [15:49] helllo how can i install galaxium [15:49] itś booting, going by itś gdm tune hearing [15:49] saymoo: the fact that you get it when grub loads is saying something === jeremy is now known as Guest86761 [15:49] but i don't see anything [15:49] lol [15:49] saymoo: probably grub is setting a video mode that's hosing the controller [15:49] Back. [15:49] how do I generate an xorg.conf when I am using the default open source drivers? [15:50] that's definately unusual [15:50] My ubuntu WILL NOT connect to wireless connections with no security [15:50] i set during install nomedo (or something like that, with f6) [15:50] for nvidia [15:50] It just picks up the signal and trys to connect no matter what security lvl I tried it on [15:50] Also, nobody in #grub is saying anything [15:51] So yeah, the problem is worse than I thought I think, as NO MATTER what encryption I use it gives me nothing whatsoever so yeah.. =/ [15:51] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, "system-->Administration--->software sources", go to "Updates" tab, click on "Only notify about available updates" --->Every time there are updates make sure you uncheck any softwre that will upate grub [15:51] saymoo: try the next release [15:51] but one thing i haven't tried yet, is doing a rolling upgrade to lynx [15:51] saymoo: just to see what happens [15:51] Can someone please help me out? You know how you can hold ALT to drag a window around in gnome? Well my system seems to be stuck in reverse. I have to hold ALT to interact with a window, otherwise clicking the window just drags it. [15:51] =S [15:52] tucemiux: I only wnant to stop grub from updating though, not everything [15:52] hello all... Is there a package for mod_auth_ntlm_winbind ? Or how can I install it on ubuntu? [15:52] Hi everybody!!! I'm new here. first time I use this out... [15:52] mr wlan interface found? [15:52] StuckMojo, yes, because sooner or later, the koala is put to sleep, by closing it's repositories... and then i might have a working other release, or i'm doomed [15:52] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, so your real question is if there is a way to configure ubuntu so that it doesnt pull down updates for grub [15:52] What does that meen littlepenguin [15:52] lol [15:53] (security wise) [15:53] If you meen can ubuntu find the wireless connections, yes it can [15:53] mr do : ifconfig and normally it should show u eth0 lo and wlan0 [15:53] Little, Ok I am gonna go back to ubuntu using a wired connection, 2 mins [15:53] I need mod_auth_ntlm_winbind installed to use SSO with apache...

Is OK to use alpha release of ubuntu 10.10??? [15:59] tucemiux: I dunno, is that a viable solution? [15:59] ubuntu_: Its unsupported and unstable. [16:00] !10.10 | ubuntu_ [16:00] ubuntu_: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:00] tucemiux: its set to check for updates automatically but I need to manually start the update [16:00] Right guys, can anyone help me with my problem. basically, Ubuntu picks up the wireless signal But will not connect to them, instead just keep trying to connect. [16:00] I am using a dell mini 10. [16:00] tucemiux: I still want it to do that, just ignore any updates for grub [16:00] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, i cant decipher your questions for you -- you need to decide what you want to do, i already told you how it works and how to stop it [16:00] Hi #ubuntu | I want to connect to a wireless station, but it doesn't work and dmesg tells me: "disconnected by local choice (reason=3)"... I've had the problem with Ubuntu 9.10 and Fedora 11 and I'd like to know what the problem is before I mess up my computer once again. [16:01] Its already set that way [16:01] !ping #ubuntu [16:01] To only notify me about updates [16:01] But I dont want it to bother to check for updates to grub and only grub [16:01] and leave grub alone the way it is now [16:01] Of course, I still need it to run update-grub when there is a kernel update, just not update the MBR version [16:02] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, ok so unclick any updates for grub -- if you want to do it automatically ask the question precisely the way I phrased it [16:02] I'm testing lubuntu right now and is pretty fast [16:02] g [16:03] Can anyone help me at all or..? [16:03] tucemiux: so unchecking a package in synaptic package manager will stop it from checking updates for it? [16:03] is there a problem with the server ??? cause I want to do an update..and I get this error http://pastie.org/1075176 [16:03] ayekat, 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 security [16:04] do not install pastie daniel_tree [16:04] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, that's the way it works, yes [16:04] i moved my ubuntu install to a new board, what do i need for ubuntu to reconfigure itself for the new hardware? [16:04] is better parcellite [16:04] no....I wanted to do an system update.. === Guest62226 is now known as LjL [16:04] anyone here to help me out in eclipse..? [16:04] ayekat, my apologies -- i meant to say, when you confirm the router works ***without*** security --->then you add security [16:05] dhiraj, you need to post your question -- all in one line [16:05] tucemiux: I see, thank you [16:05] dhiraj: #eclipse [16:05] i recently reinstalled ubuntu, and now i cant access the encrypted home directory, can anyone help? [16:05] join #eclipse [16:05] ziggy: you still have the key/password? [16:05] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, but ask away on how to do it automatically, Ive never done it that way and dont know if it's possible but maybe someone here might know [16:05] Lemme 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] iceroot yes [16:06] hey,i want to try turbo c++ in lucid .I have dosbox installed.How can this be done? [16:06] daniel_tree: It looks like that mirror is currently down.

(cfr. mail the result of a script for example) [17:30] wollere you could use sed to get only needed info out of it [17:30] wollere, install unison, it is command line, but works great to do that for you.

[17:44] erUSUL:I want to connect to internet using Reliance Netconnect. but the modem is not getting detected. Please help [17:45] jeroendv: another options are nullmailers like ssmtp or msmtp and you can allways use plain mail + a full mta like postfix [17:45] !mta [17:45] A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA [17:45] phanindra, how does the pc connect to the modem , cable or wifi ?

All I need it for it to transfer files from one computer on my home network to another. [17:47] !ftp [17:47] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [17:47] erUSUL:Its ZTE modem [17:47] phanindra: is a broadband modem? 3g ? [17:47] hi! is there anybody who could help me with Ubuntu Netbook edition? I'm having strange problem with home applet and windows - windows do not stay on top and Favorites panel keeps popping up everytime new window is opened. [17:47] Hello Ubuntu [17:47] BluesKaj:Its ZTE modem [17:47] TommyThaGun: vsftpd is pretty easy to setup. [17:47] TommyThaGun: for the use case ssh is a better option imho [17:48] How can I replace grub with lilo? [17:48] erUSUL, I'm connecting a mac to ubuntu, can you use ssh in a mac? [17:48] i had a problem with my canon laser printer since upgrading to ubuntu 10.4 [17:48] which is the greatest and most stable filesystem for linux? now i am going to reinstall ubuntu. so thinking for zfs. should i go for it? or any bugs with it? i am using 64 bit ubuntu [17:48] phanindra, yeah,but how does your pc/laptop connect to it ? [17:48] erUSUL:Its a datacard [17:48] TommyThaGun: probably MacOSX has some unix roots [17:49] I'm using 10.04 netbook edition and laptop is Thinkpad T23. [17:49] phanindra: there is some suggestion that it should work out of the box if you install usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1488411 [17:49] BluesKaj:through usb [17:49] tktiddle, modify /etc/lilo.conf appropriately and then run lilo [17:49] phanindra: right click in Network manager go to edit connections --> broadband tab. add a connection [17:49] abhijit: zfs is used through the FUSE interface, and may not be as stable or as fast as you would like. if you want to run zfs with important data, consider freebsd or solaris. [17:50] erUSUL: if the laptop is not connected to the net at the moment, does it keep the mail and send it automatically at a later time, when internet connection is restored? or is the mail lost is that case? [17:50] erUSUL: I tried it, I have added a new connection, but when i click on the networkmanager, its not showing the name of the connection provider [17:50] jeroendv: i guess that it would be the later case... [17:51] jeroendv: use plain mail + a mta in that case [17:51] phanindra: found this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-zte-mf626-hsdpa-modem-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html [17:51] First time when I launched firefox it stayed on top, but now it seems to fade away too. Other windows fade away almost immediatelly. [17:51] phanindra: is that your model of modem ? [17:51] is there a channel for fire fox? [17:51] sipior, ok. then any good file system other than ext4? [17:51] Hackey, #firefox [17:51] Why can't i do this: lspci -vv | emacs23 -nw ? [17:51] thank you [17:51] abhijit: well, what do you need it to do that ext4 doesn't manage for you? [17:52] erUSUL: Reliance NetConnect Hi-speed 1X [17:52] erUSUL: plain mail? [17:52] Diverdude: what do you expect that command to do ? [17:52] sipior, i just wondering for some more advanced and fast and stable filesystem [17:52] jeroendv: yes the traditional mail command needed an external mta ... [17:52] !info bsd-mail [17:52] erUSUL, to pipe the lspci into emacs [17:52] Package bsd-mail does not exist in lucid [17:53] !info bsd-mailx [17:53] bsd-mailx (source: bsd-mailx): simple mail user agent. In component main, is optional. Version 8.1.2-0.20090911cvs-2ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 151 kB, installed size 292 kB [17:53] abhijit: xfs is an option, i suppose. or jfs, or btrfs, once it matures a bit. [17:53] erUSUL: and the traditional mail command would be part of which ubuntu package? [17:54] Diverdude: this works « emacs -nw --insert <(lspci -vv) » [17:55] I want to use skype...how can I make pulseaudio the default ? [17:55] erUSUL: Reliance NetConnect Hi-speed 1X [17:55] jeroendv: bsd-mailx i guess [17:55] I have an intel based iMac9.1, how do I install ubuntu on it? [17:55] phanindra, usb can be cable or wireless, it would help to know which it is . [17:55] spaceghost_, grab yourself a nice cd..burn ubuntu on it..plug in ..and ROCK !! [17:55] HI, I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, and now my graphics performance sucks (wobbly windows really slow, no transparent terminal, etc..). My driver management thing says that I currently have nvidia drivers installed and active. What might be the problem? [17:56] phanindra: what does « lsusb » says about the modem ? [17:56] sipior, ok then i stay on ext4. [17:56] BluesKaj: Its a datacard [17:57] abhijit: probably sensible :-) [17:57] sipior, :) [17:57] if i am a normal user on a ubuntu box with quota, how can i check how much quota i have left?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:01] sipior, its the same... i am performing this with normal user not with root [18:01] hdtdi: complain to your system administrator; the machine is configured poorly :-) [18:01] i am the system administrator :D [18:01] how can I make pulseaudio to manage sound instead [18:01] ? [18:01] hdtdi: well, that makes it faster for you [18:02] I'm painting walls. What could be a NCS colour code for Ubuntu orange (ff6309, f47421 or dd4814?) and yellow (ffb515?)? [18:02] sipior, with su i can see quota user but i want if i have a user and he wants to see how much quota he have.. ? then what? [18:02] djolefol, open ubuntu homepage with the logo in firefox [18:03] hdtdi: is making the file readable not an option? [18:03] djolefol, install a firefox plugin that enables you to read the colors [18:03] NCS means Natural Color System. [18:03] djolefol, its called colorZilla [18:04] Paints are sold on the basis of NCS codes. [18:04] sipior, well.. i am watching some LPIC sert and the guy there said - you MUST change the permissions to 600 [18:05] need some support on boot screen resolution configuration [18:05] hdtdi: and did he say why? [18:05] well i guess security measure but he didnt say that [18:06] djolefol: #ubuntu-artwork or #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better resource.

[18:07] nope [18:07] * sipior thinks it must be about fifteen years since he's used a system with disk quotas [18:07] well i guess if its ro only for the root i cant see with normal user [18:08] hdtdi: i assumed quota would be suid root. === prumar is now known as mar69 [18:10] where can I write the new ubuntu's versions's errors to?

[18:24] Bridge|: 1) is a bug filed 2) be more specific than just "intel" -- my intel 945, 965, and n450-onboard-graphics all work fine with lucid [18:25] i'll look for a more detailed forum thread, but so u can get a quick idea what happening: [18:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484820 [18:25] thats one of the earlier threads started about it and actually on ubuntu's forum [18:26] i'll try to find out the url for the one with the most info [18:26] hi all [18:26] i guess it has to do with the kernel and intel video chipset [18:27] hi, how can i boot ubuntu 9.10 without X? runlevel 3 does not work in grub [18:27] Bridge|: ah ok its for very old intel graphics, the 8xx-series. did you try the workarounds linked in that thread at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes ?

[18:30] try not using the word "hack" [18:30] and sorry im new to irc [18:31] !offtopic Ac1drefl3x [18:31] Bridge|: 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 boot [18:32] Ac1drefl3x: 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] yea i cant even instal [18:32] hehe [18:32] maybe i'll have to install karmic then upgrade [18:32] then try this stuff [18:32] Bridge|: should be able to install from an alternate cd too [18:32] i tried ubunu reg 10.04 and netbook edition [18:32] same effect, black screen [18:33] Ac1drefl3x: IRC lesson number 2: don't PM people from #ubuntu ;) [18:33] Ac1drefl3x: glad to help, though :) [18:33] ahhh lol [18:33] sorry xD [18:34] Acl join #kismet [18:34] no more hacking talk here [18:34] ok buddy [18:34] thanks, cya :) [18:34] <[zz]> So I'm having this weird issue where networking on 10.04 seems to just suddenly stop for no reason.

[18:43] adamramadhan: right click on gnome panel [18:43] rww: well, not all, but of 3200 packages, there are 1900 different files [18:43] 1BUGS [18:43] !bugs [18:43] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [18:44] kermit: that doesn't mean that the licenses are different. The files would be different if they contain notes about individual files, different authors, etc. [18:44] « ubuntu-bug 2.6.32-24-generic » printing a doc with an envelope in front of it gives me a column printed instead of the entire page width with printer HP710C [18:44] no [18:44] rww: i thought when i installed ubuntu there was some option about which licenses i wanted to install, so the data has to be more organized somewhere. [18:44] rww: oh [18:44] aeon-ltd: where? === The_Wiki_Ninja is now known as zkriesse [18:44] i can add the sub menu [18:44] adamramadhan: right click then add applet, a main menu applet should be there [18:44] like inside Application [18:45] i need somebody to test what happens when you boot ubuntu without a monitor.. i can't connect to remote desktop server running on a headless machine :( [18:45] kermit: Nope. There's an option for "Install free software only" on the LiveCD, but that just make it so that only main and universe repositories are active. There isn't more fine-grained control in the installer. [18:45] rww: i dont see any parseably standard format in these though [18:45] adamramadhan: right click on the panel where there usn't a applet present [18:45] kermit: I think you can choose free vs non-free, but I don't think there's a setting for BSD license vs GPL v3, etc. [18:45] aeon-ltd: pick what? [18:45] rww: ah, thats the option.. so can i list whats installed thats not from main and universe? [18:45] adamramadhan: right click on a empty spot on the panel and select add applet [18:46] there is no add applet [18:46] add oanelk [18:46] add panel [18:46] !skype [18:46] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [18:46] add to panel [18:46] !Ekiga [18:46] ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols.

We'll start off with a keyboard question. [18:47] aeon-ltd: there no add apllet [18:48] kermit: one sec, there's a cmomand to do it but I always forget the search flag for repositories [18:48] command ** [18:48] !askthebot [18:48] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [18:48] All my keys work, except one. The up-arrow key. Where can I find the layout I'm using, change it, and load that custom layout? [18:48] adamramadhan: its under "add to panel" [18:48] aeon-ltd: properties [18:50] adamramadhan: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/16690.aspx read please [18:50] kermit: aptitude search ~i~srestricted ~i~smultiverse [18:50] aeon-ltd [18:50] aeon-ltd: yup add to panel ? [18:50] adamramadhan: yeah [18:51] aeon-ltd: yes then what ? [18:51] kermit: (which translates to "show packages that are installed and from the restricted section, or packages that are installed and from the multiverse section", restricted and multiverse being our non-Free Software repositories) [18:51] adamramadhan: look for the main menu applet and add it [18:51] aeon-ltd: yes im doing that from the begining [18:52] aeon-ltd: we can olny add sub folders [18:52] aeon-ltd: not like Myfolder Application Places System [18:52] Is there some way to purge all gcj & related packages from the repository, or ignore them or something? I really hate gcj, and a lot of Java stuff depends on it (eclipse, ant, etc). I'm using my Java SDK and it's setup up (with alternatives too), but installing most things from apt will result in gcj getting pulled (and most likely used). [18:52] !enter | adamramadhan [18:52] adamramadhan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:53] HI, I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, and now my graphics performance sucks (wobbly windows really slow, no transparent terminal, etc..). My driver management thing says that I currently have nvidia drivers installed and active. What might be the problem? [18:53] aeon-ltd: i can add like a folder inside Applicaiton Places or System, like Application;accesoris, games myfolder, etc . [18:53] Pretty much every java related package eventually pulls an ant and that pulls gcj for example. [18:54] adamramadhan: you can add a shortcut and have several under one menu [18:54] aeon-ltd: cant i add a new menu ? [18:54] rww: wow i just learned a lot of useful htings from that command, thanks [18:54] hola a todos [18:55] adamramadhan: i'm not entirely sure [18:55] !es | alfil [18:55] alfil: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[18:56] maco: no [18:56] adamramadhan: then no [18:56] so we cant add a simple menu ? [18:56] why some people on deviantart are doing it [18:56] adamramadhan: you'd need to modify that panel applet, and its most likely written in C just like the rest of gnome [18:56] 10.0.10.156 [18:57] que paso [18:57] maco: please look at http://cf1234.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-02-12-2010-153812257?q=boost:popular+in:customization/screenshots/nix&qo=21 [18:58] ubotu siocsifflags [18:58] rww: '?not(~suniverse) ?not(~smain) ~i' has 2267 lines! how'd i get so much not free stuff?

I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins [18:58] I think I destroyed my ubuntu. I am unable to turn desktop effects back on [18:58] kwtm, type /msg ubottu !hi [18:58] or run any software [18:59] Can anyone help me share connection [18:59] Ahh, would help to spell the name correctly. :P [18:59] I setup static IP on this computer, and on other [18:59] !siocsifflags [18:59] But I can only connect from other computer to this [18:59] how can people add menu beside Application Places and System? anyone? [19:00] Darn, need to figure out what this SIOCSIFFLAGS error is. Anyone know? It seems to have something to do with networking (or the lack thereof on this computer here)... [19:00] kwtm, do that in pm. to do that type /msg ubottu !factoid [19:00] kermit: assuming that you included the spaces, that means "show packages if they're not in universe, not in main, or are installed"... [19:00] kermit: you probably want to remove the spaces, so it ANDs all of those instead. [19:01] adamramadhan: that's the menubar for the terminal what you see [19:01] kermit: (aptitude's syntax is arcane...) [19:01] adamramadhan: the terminal is selected, so it's menubar appears on the panel, just like in Mac [19:01] figure002: nono , wait let me give a screenshot [19:03] rww: hrm then http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s03s05.html is wrong, that would be 'and' not 'or' [19:03] adamramadhan: i'm 100% sure that's the case in _that_ screenshot [19:03] rww: it does the same without spaces [19:03] nooo, thats global menu, in lucid there nohing like that [19:04] adamramadhan: those arent menus added next to existing ones. thats the global menubar [19:04] adamramadhan: There are some third party packages that can do that. [19:04] adamramadhan: ues, global menu, in lucid there _is_ something like that [19:04] bye. [19:04] adamramadhan: there's a third party application for that [19:04] figure, global menu olny add one text. [19:04] what? [19:04] adamramadhan: it didnt only add one text... [19:04] rww: i think 'section' is something different than what you thought, because 'show' has htings like 'kde' with not 'main' or 'universe' or anything [19:04] bonsoir quelqu'un sait comment on vire les mises à jour automatiques en ligne de commande ?

I run nvidia, compiz (as it comes with ubuntu), anyone who recognizes this and can point me in the right direction? [19:06] there is 6 menus ?

[19:07] i'm no ubuntu wizard, is there anyone who can help me? [19:07] How do I correctly pack a SVG icon into DEB so that I can later access it with Gnome stock-id? [19:07] adamramadhan: that's the same thing [19:07] adamramadhan: Global menu is not 1 menu item. It contains the menu for the current application. === _ng is now known as _NG [19:07] adamramadhan: global menu [19:07] adamramadhan: again, thats just the global menu [19:07] kermit: so that command essentially does (not in universe) AND (installed), because ~smain doesn't match anything [19:07] if i do two consecutive fetchmail via commandline, to a google gmail server, the second invocation will be ignored right? I mean, there's a mandatory delay imposed by google for pop3 [19:07] adamramadhan: applications/places/system are *not* on those screenshots at all [19:08] hardex: #ubuntu-packaging might be a better place to ask [19:08] Hi! I'm having strange issue with Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04. When I open any window it disappear almost immediatelly and go-home-applet's Favorites screen fades in. I cannot find similar issues from forums. One guy at #ubuntu-fi said that he had similar problems with virtualbox. I have Thinkpad T23 laptop. Can anyone help me with this issue that makes me crazy? [19:08] thanks [19:08] adamramadhan: global menu acts like OSX. it replaces the main menu with the application's menu when an application is in focus. when you click the desktop, it shows the main menu [19:08] ok i belive you guys. anyway global menu is not a ubuntu main repo isnt it ? we have to add the ppa ? [19:09] adamramadhan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/global_menu [19:10] figure002: download it or from ppa ? [19:11] i have to cut MP4 format video. Can u suggest any video cutter?? [19:11] virtualdub?

[19:14] ah found it [19:14] thanks pici [19:14] welcom [19:14] yellabs: no problem [19:15] jrib, oh ok, thanks a lot :) [19:15] please.. lista server film [19:15] BluesKaj, Nvidia card [19:15] If I create a cron job that runs every minute, and then suspend my laptop for an hour, will that job be called 60 times when I resume? Or just once? [19:15] alkisg: once [19:16] Thanks :) [19:16] nvidia isn't termed as a 3rd party card it's an optional pci card :) [19:16] thats what i meant === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [19:17] I have a funny problem. The power button in the top right corner of the standard U-Desktop installation will not show and will not let me turn the computer off.

[19:20] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [19:20] to late [19:20] rallias: with a terminal client like irssi [19:20] rallias: irssi is a popular client [19:20] zio come devo fare [19:20] oh...

[19:22] rww: basicly, i'd like to support truely free stuff, but i want to know how many exceptions i've made ;) [19:22] yes john38 if you have the 2nd monitor connected there should be options for it in system settings/Display [19:22] is there no one who can give me a last opinion? (http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/MW4QE4Kg) [19:22] where do i display larger files for you to look at? i know i should know this, but i cannot remember... [19:23] ashraf: 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 menu [19:23] john38, proprietary driver version 173 [19:23] I just updated my Ubuntu system and now firefox won't work.. Help?

[19:25] firefox, chromium, opera, Konquerer, etc are all fine browsers [19:25] rallias: didn't work [19:25] Is this a common problem? [19:25] I've had ubuntu for years [19:25] john38, I have digital connection (not HDMI) for main monitor and HDMI for TV, and it works currently [19:25] markie- someone else suggested something... "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" without the quotes. [19:25] hello [19:25] And never had any problems with firefox [19:26] I have problem with disappearing window in Netbook edition 10.04.

Version 1.60.3 (lucid), package size 170 kB, installed size 456 kB [19:26] ann-christin: if you have a problem using a different browser, then don't follow this advice. In terminal, type in "sudo apt-get install chromium" [19:26] Is there a command to check which partitions are encrypted for an lvm managed disk? [19:27] I've done that already [19:27] To find answers to my problem I had to get on the internet [19:27] Hi, I upgraded to 10.4 and _seem_ to have lost hardware video acceleration. I have nvidia drivers installed. Any ideas? [19:27] john38, with HDMI TV send its resolution to PC, I have no S-Video output, I presume you have to set manually correct resolution [19:27] rallias: alright did that [19:27] ann-christin: try: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-backup; then run firefox, in case it is a proble with your user config [19:27] vairam: its in the main repo so: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wvdial ,will install it. [19:27] savid: check proprietary drivers [19:28] hi all. i have bought i fujitsu siemens scenic n. for 50 euro:) i installed ubuntu karmic cause it was the only one that could boot on it. but i have a very low resolution 960X900. how can i fix this? thanks === spyrosebastos is now known as spiros [19:28] the graphic card is a sis i think.. [19:28] rmrfslash: i personally like "unmount *spesific partition*" then "mount *spesific partition*", then opening natulus. It has worked for me. If it gives a read error, you know its encrypted, and all you have to do to restore it is reboot. [19:28] delance, you see i get no link with my card to tv via s-video [19:28] BluesKaj, ? [19:28] anyone have any idea [19:28] adi1: run: sudo lshw -C display ,websearch for the product line to find guides [19:28] rallias: yeeeah, I'm gunna go ahead and say there's a better way [19:28] ann-christin, it looks like in my hardware drivers window that nvidia drivers are installed and in use.

I wonder if it's using nouveau instead? [19:29] well a mv isn' [19:29] rmrfslash: it works, wether or not its good is a different matter.

[19:29] i just got the upgrade [19:29] oka: better use crhomium, is opensource and it's already in the repository ;) [19:29] looking for the webpage where i can post larger files to display for others to help me with troubleshooting. [19:29] is the fact that no one notices me because i'm unlucky today or because no one can solve my problem and that a new install is all that is left to me?

I'm not specialized in video, there are problems with both ATI and NVidia [19:30] ana you can easily go into system monitor and click list dependencies. Go to the tree saying firefox, and right click->kill process. Then try starting firefox [19:30] xangua, thx! [19:30] sarawara_: If no one knows how to help, they aren't going to answer. [19:30] oka: I use chromium daily so I get updates everyday [19:30] what to do with this now? [19:30] i have annoying file that i cant open/decompile...or anything else...anyone fancy a challenge! lol [19:30] john38, dunno , you have to make sure you have an s-video out on the card for tv viewing [19:30] adi1: then its a SiS video card [19:30] ActionParsnip, chromium-daily? [19:31] adi1: copy the product line and use it in websearches [19:31] BluesKaj, my ati radeon card does have s-video [19:31] ActionParsnip : so how can i update the driver ? [19:31] oka: yes there's a daily build [19:31] aaa ok .. [19:31] haha [19:31] thanks ActionParsnip. [19:31] adi1: your driver is in a stock install, you just need config [19:31] rallias: i don't think that worked either [19:31] john38, do you have proprietary driver (system->administration->NVidia XServer setting) ? [19:31] i just installed chromium, it is a game! [19:31] sarawara_: yeah, you have a tough one. is it from disk corruption problem? or http://www.sp1r1t.org/networks/linux/common_issues_linux.php this guy had the problem and needed to free some memory before it worked. Your problem is HARD. that's the explaination. [19:31] oka: ahhh heehehheheheehehe [19:31] delance, i got ati on this rig [19:32] ActionParsnip how can i config this in ubuntu?

(http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/MW4QE4Kg) [19:48] it didnt used to [19:48] jpeterman, that always happens because nobody wants to help with linux...sucks really^^ [19:48] purplefool, i agree, easy way for them to cop out of it when its obviously not a linux issue [19:48] jpeterman: your manifacturer lied to you, the only thing you lost when you delete windows and install ubuntu is the software support; you still have the hardware support [19:48] markie-: then sudo apt-get uninstall any nvidia-## programs [19:49] jpeterman: don't let them to cheat on you and tell them to do their job [19:49] rallias: it says apt-search command not found [19:49] jpeterman, true, your description is most definately not a linux prob.

[20:01] sarawara_ you are using ubuntu 9.10? "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [20:01] you think an upgrade could solve it? [20:01] sarawara_: yes. [20:01] !dist-upgrade [20:01] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [20:02] sarawara_: sometimes older versions of ubuntu contain older versions of the programs.

How come the 64bit edition of ubuntu is not recommended for daily desktop edition? is it worse than 64bit edition windows? [20:09] octavio: they don't want you to run something that may harm your computer, so they automatically set execute rights to off. Other rights are set by the server if you downloaded an archive. [20:09] <|REM|> hey everyone. I just installed 10.04 from the alternate iso and it does not boot into the gui, but I can run startx and that works fine. Is there some way I can just add that to the start up so that startx is the last thing to run? [20:09] purplefool: what is your question? [20:09] well...at least my name is being seen [20:09] octavio: weird; run « umask » in a terminal [20:09] purplefool: I haven't seen your question - but you would not want 1200 people tell you that, would you?

[21:30] <_jesse_> DynamicFail: right, the find would find all files with depth 1, xargs feeds the results on the left of the pipe as arguments to the command on the right [21:30] Dr_Willis, where do I download them from. also If i download , how do I install ?

[21:41] Kal_Zakath, installing windows7 is not an valid answer. [21:41] of course it is :) [21:41] korisnikuser: if you want something to tinker on, and that is lightweight, I suggest getting archlinux [21:42] korisnikuser, or maybe not. Couldn't find one real quick [21:42] to have professional features, you need professional tools [21:42] smerz: any link? google just get me to xubuntu or mini instal [21:42] wich ubuntu is not [21:42] Zykotick9: thanks again [21:42] Kal_Zakath, so you saying ubuntu is not a professional OS [21:42] korisnikuser: lubuntu, xubuntu, are both minimal but 'full' desktoops === dexi is now known as Guest42497 [21:42] c3l: i have 8 most popular distros, i want use something small based on ubuntu [21:42] korisnikuser, 700mb i guess it is :/ [21:42] korisnikuser: Lubuntu [21:42] pradeep: of course it's not [21:42] Kal_Zakath, please DO not Hoax === hsa2|gone is now known as hsa2 [21:42] this is only a fact [21:43] ok, im here, gonna google for lubuntu [21:43] Kal_Zakath, so you everyone in this room is joking then [21:43] feel free to higlight me [21:43] how can you say that [21:43] pradeep: something like that [21:44] !ot | Kal_Zakath pradeep [21:44] anyone else experienced problems with compiz lately?

I have no experience of debian, but I know archlinux is light powerful adn bleeding edge [21:44] sure, it could be used in some botswana police offices [21:44] . [21:44] ok ubottu [21:44] I have a setup with users authenticating via LDAP. How can I force a password change on first logon? [21:45] Kal_Zakath: please stop that [21:45] i have archlinux puppy linux and damn small linux, to note of lightweight [21:45] guys im trying to figure out why i cant get this pc to boot, ive got live on a usb stick, both the hd pass and memtest as well [21:45] korisnikuser: dude you'd only need one unless your using puppy and dsl on i386 only pcs [21:45] what tools should i run in ubuntu to test thsi drive [21:45] c3l: its just that ubuntu is curently leading as my fav and i dont want full version for VmWare [21:45] guntbert: sure [21:46] syaing the truth isn't allowed here [21:46] ar0nic, look closely at your boot order [21:46] i dont need them to install, i need it for practice [21:46] pradeep i have man [21:46] @Kal_Zakath Then what's fact? [21:46] i finally got it to load from the usb stick an dran memtest [21:46] zc456: that ubuntu is not a professional tool [21:46] korisnikuser: why are you running that many dists? wellwell, what are you looking for in particular? a lightweight ubuntu dist? ubuntu is not lighweight, as I said if you want something similar you should look at debian which afaik come shipped with fewer packages etc, and you have the option to install it withot a DE [21:46] this bios has a boot device menu with a HD diagnostic [21:47] the HD passed, but it will not let me boot from cd whatsoever [21:47] korisnikuser: or, you could use ubuntu server edition, it comes shipped without a DE afaik [21:47] korisnikuser: dont forget 'tiny core linux' [21:47] the best ive gotten so far is via usb.. [21:47] Kal_Zakath: no matter if its true or not -- those statements are off topic here [21:47] @Kal_Zakath Then I guess I shouldn't be programming on this "unprofessional" OS. [21:47] i wonder if i should just put windows on the usb stick [21:47] zc456: exactly [21:47] zc456: dont argue with him, someone ban him [21:47] c3l: ubuntu can be lightweight hence the minimal and server installs they offer [21:47] waste of time [21:47] anyone knows of a way to recieve blackberry ping's on ubuntu? I;d like to subscribe to a ping number, but dont have a blackberry [21:47] tiny core linux, never heard of it [21:48] lightweight - the new 'buzzword' :) [21:48] !troll | Kal_Zakath [21:48] Kal_Zakath: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [21:48] aeon-ltd: is there an "ubuntu minimal"? [21:48] hehe [21:48] ha [21:48] zc456: it may seem unprofessional but the whole linux architechture could pass as a professional product [21:48] c3l: yeag [21:48] *yeah [21:48] <_jesse_> woble: I don't think you can get a bb pin number w/o a blackberry [21:49] Dr_Willis: n1 :D [21:49] _jesse_ so you do need a ping number to recieve pings hmmz.. [21:49] I'm having problems with my keyboard, I selected the right one, but my accents and cedilles aren't working properly [21:49] _jesse_: spoofing [21:49] aeon-ltd: oh, ubuntu minimal is just netinsall, its identical with ubuntu, just that packages are not on the install disc, but they are downloaded during the install [21:49] Guest46619: did you set the right location and language? [21:49] pradeep i know this isnt the right channel but how would you put a xp on usb stick [21:49] let me chekc aeon-ltd [21:49] aeon-ltd: it is afaik not possible to get a more slimmed down ubuntu than the server version [21:49] aeon-ltd: True. Linux itself is simply a kernel. What you make out of it can be anything. [21:50] c3l: there a is a ubuntu minimal that is cli only but not the server editon [21:50] <_jesse_> aeon-ltd: you can spoof it? [21:50] pradeep: you are correct, this isn't the right place [21:50] aeon-ltd: could you link to that? [21:50] ar0nic, never tried before though but you could google it [21:50] <_jesse_> woble: yes, you need a blackberry pin [21:50] i did a mini install on one laptop [21:50] _jesse_ but i know there is a samsung app available which connects with blackberry ping === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] [21:50] obviously, on picking an OS i picked Ubuntu Desktop [21:50] _jesse_: hard to but it would involve essentially rebuilding a exactly identical logic board and nand [21:51] could i pick something else from it [21:51] <_jesse_> aeon-ltd: lol yeah I think that's a bitm uch [21:51] <_jesse_> *bit much [21:51] hey everyone, I was wondering if/where I could get some drivers for my logitech C200 webcam? [21:51] hmm it seems that maybe the disk drive is bad pradeep [21:51] its loading ubuntu just fine from the usb [21:51] <_jesse_> woble: hmm, I see, never heard of that [21:52] anyone know a program who i can manage my netbookbattery ? [21:52] _jesse_ http://www.whatsapp.com <-- so there must be a way.. [21:52] aeon-ltd: I actually think you got this minimal mixed up with netinstall, which is actually called minimal cd image [21:52] yes, c3l [21:52] iso of it is called mini.iso [21:52] larsinger: both gnome and kde has a tool for that by default [21:52] c3l: no iso is given but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [21:53] larsinger: perhaps -> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/jupiter-ubuntu-ppa-hardware-and-power.html [21:53] korisnikuser: aeon-ltd got you ther ;) [21:53] <_jesse_> woble: that looks like a 3rd party service, not directly associated with bb messenger [21:53] c3l: more importantly this section https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems#Install%20an%20Ubuntu%20command-line%20system [21:53] hmm thx :) [21:54] aeon-ltd well it says Netherlands SK-2500... [21:54] _jesse_ i know its used with pings, but i'll dig into it. being able to subscribe would mean lots of free party tickets for me :D [21:54] Guest46619: is that correct? [21:54] I am in the Netherlands yes [21:54] but the keyboard might be built somewhere else === nensl is now known as potor [21:54] it says made in China [21:54] what was the last server release to include MySQL 3.23? [21:55] what got me to mini.iso is because every distro i tried crashed while starting gui because of bios bug who didnt give proper info for linux distros about laptop native resolution [21:55] how do i sort files by creation date? [21:55] while doing install from mini.iso, ubuntu configured it right from the scratch [21:55] i do ls- l does nto do it [21:55] PayperBoy: ls has a dozen+ options - one proberly does that. [21:56] aeon-ltd: yeah cool, I wasnt aware of that something like this existed [21:56] PayperBoy: see the manpage of ls === krowten is now known as KrowTen === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [21:56] Guest46619: it is possible to redefine some or all of the keyboard at login.

[21:57] Karen_mm, youll need some program configured to burn ISO files === _jesse__ is now known as _jesse_ [21:57] <_jesse_> woble: haha alright, good luck! [21:57] Is it possible to get a virus or trojan just by downloading and opening a PDF in Ubuntu? [21:57] which program? Is there anything like imgburn for ubuntu? [21:57] <_jesse_> Karen_mm: brasero is a common program for that use [21:58] Karen_mm: right click on the iso file select burn to disk [21:58] <_jesse_> Karen_mm: should be preinstalled [21:58] know how winkey+e will open an explorer on windows, is there a shortcut for that on ubuntu? [21:58] winkey+e is pretty neat tho, shows all 4 desktops [21:59] <_jesse_> MarkSS: it's certianly *possible* but unlikely [21:59] Is it possible to get a virus or trojan just by downloading and opening a PDF in Ubuntu? [21:59] Ah [21:59] Thanks [21:59] _jesse_: Why is it unlikely? [21:59] btw, it is a bit silly to have a 14 year old harddisk in your PC nowadays, isn't it? [21:59] I was wondering if/where I could get some drivers for my logitech C200 webcam?; anyone? [21:59] MarkSS: i would find that unlikely. [21:59] <_jesse_> MarkSS: would require a vulnerability in the program opening the pdf [22:00] !webcam | niccoli [22:00] niccoli: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [22:00] niccoli: normally for webcams. either they work from the start.. or are totally unsupported.

[22:00] Dr_Willis, where would it show my webcam in the menus? [22:01] niccoli: in the menus? it dont.. run some app that uses the webcam.. [22:01] niccoli: like 'cheese' [22:02] Dr_Willis, thank you much [22:02] aeon-ltd you should check 'Hyper is mapped to Win/keys' shouldn you= [22:02] niccoli: you HAve actually truied to use teh webcam? [22:02] hi, i have a problem with my mic on ubuntu. i am currently in skype and i talk with a friend and everything is fine and then suddenly my mic stops working and in sound preferences when i check to see whats happening, there is "unamplified" and i need to reboot to "fix" it [22:02] why is this happening ? [22:02] Dr_Willis, I have on windows, works fine, atm its plugged in but I dont have any programs for it [22:03] Dr_willis, also according to the wiki I have support for it [22:04] if a user does not have a password assigned, is it impossible for someone to SSH into that account? if so why does ssh even prompt for the password if no correct answer is possible? [22:04] niccoli: so basically - you havent even tried the webcam on linux.. and you are assuming it dosent work. :) [22:04] is Hyper the accents above vowels?

Why? [22:16] transparency can get strange when you add stuff to the panel [22:16] kandikanekisses: right click on it choose properties [22:16] kandikanekisses: yes. use alt+scroll if you use compiz with obs plugin enabled. You can also setup the panel to have a consistent transparency with obs compiz plugin [22:17] TD;DR: why can't I remove one of these two installed Adobe Flash 10's in Ubuntu Software Center?

[22:37] using partition editor, but only if you have free space or ready to sacrifice with existing partition [22:37] antonio_: this isn't actually a folder what picachu recommends its a partition [22:38] antonio_: or if your dual is windows install ntfs support in ubuntu [22:38] Hi, I have an annoying problem with firefox: It automatically downloads txt-files instead of prompting me if I want to download it. The worse part is, however, that when I double-click a txt file in the download manager it gets opened in notepad with wine. How can I change that behaviour? [22:38] is possible I import a vcf file in Ubuntu One? I'm trying in Evolution Contacts but my app doesn't response :( [22:38] Hi!

Now how do I go about creating a shared folder? Can I start the process in Lucid? [22:42] antonio_: you just have to mount the ntfs partition [22:43] in ubuntu [22:43] theoctagon: will I have to mount it everytime I want to use the share folder? [22:44] not if you put it in fstab [22:44] antonio_: not if you put it in fstab [22:44] rww, I broke something, lol. after reboot i got the first ubuntu splash screen then my monitor went into powersave and nothing else happened... had to run in failsafe graphics/low graphics mode after a package fix to get here [22:44] antonio_: give me a second === _NG is now known as _ng === uRock_ is now known as running_rabbit07 [22:45] theoctagon: antonio_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [22:46] bastidrazor: that's what I have in my clipboard :P [22:46] is it possible to allow USB input during grub?

[22:49] fidelix: console -> type alsamixer [22:49] dexi: No idea about the graphics thing, but USB not working during GRUB is usually because your BIOS has USB legacy compatibility turned off. [22:49] fidelix: is it muted? [22:49] Already did that. [22:49] Its on max volume [22:49] fidelix: and unmuted? [22:50] rww, thanks. I'm just going to restart from here and see what happens then...

[22:56] purvesh, * sorry purestrain [22:56] I suppose there is a repair feature on the liveCD that won't completely erase the OS and re-set it, right? [22:56] i've tried 5 CDs, and 2 dvds.

[22:57] purvesh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock [22:57] noobers, atm I have only one disc drive [22:57] anml: like n00b3rz said make sure you're booting from the correct device [22:57] rww, alright. [22:57] anml: It may be trying to boot from hard drive and not CD drive, regardless of if you have a disk in [22:57] I have tried booting from both hard drives, I get the same error [22:57] anml: cd drive != hard drive [22:58] rww, this is why i should have been more careful and used copy instead of MOVE on my backup files, haha [22:58] l2bios [22:58] anml: go into BIOS and set the CD drive as the first boot device [22:58] erUSUL: thx, I can't find out any info about what all these devices are used for/by, like lsof only shows 1-7 in use. why 63 of them [22:58] queuetip, l2read. I did boot from my hard drives, both of them, as well as my CD [22:58] Hollo, any idea why my Numpad doesnt work ? I cant type any number even if NumLock its ON or OFF ... :/ [22:58] if you're trying to boot from cd, why boot from both harddrives? what's the point? [22:58] OMFG [22:59] can't find a toshiba m505d thats instock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [22:59] if the cd isn't booting, then maybe you should burn a new one [22:59] l2read again, I used 5 CDs and 2 dvds [22:59] is anybody really good at finding products online? [22:59] matrix, I did set it as first boot priority as CD drive. even 2 and 3, and then I even disabled boot 2 and 3's option [22:59] cause I can't seem to find a few things [22:59] anml: nub [22:59] lol? [23:00] i know i am [23:00] anml: that means your ISO has to be bad. Download another one [23:00] I have [23:00] anml: can you boot anything from your cd drive? === [-slidinghorn-] is now known as slidinghorn [23:00] anml: try booting a bootable CD that you KNOW works [23:00] anml: like trying using a different computer even and try booting from one of those cds [23:01] anml: the point i'm trying to make is - figure out what the problem is [23:01] the disc works on this laptop [23:01] but not on the PC [23:01] anml: can you set the cd drive in bios to be the ONLY bootable option? [23:01] uhh, the problem is I am getting the grub device error, and am unable to boot from a live disc to solve the problem [23:01] anml: sounds like you have a bad CD drive [23:01] matrix, just went out and bought a new one :P [23:01] today [23:02] just because you buy a new cd drive - doesn't mean it's working... cough cough FRYS ELECTRONICS COUGH [23:02] anml: is the ISO you got a 32 bit version? [23:02] queutip, how are you going to tell me to learn to read if you yourself have no idea how to? I already said I disabled all other boot options besdies my CD drive [23:02] is anybody good at finding prodcuts online?. [23:02] 64bit [23:02] NitzchONot: Not sure, maybe you could try different "Keyboard model" or layout in System->Preferences->Keyboard [23:02] Low 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] anml: maybe because i just signed on this channel and didn't wade through pages of your whining already? [23:03] ???? my whining? [23:03] wtf is your deal man lmao [23:03] for one - your questions have nothing to do with ubuntu [23:03] anml: your processor is probably a 32 bit and can't boot the 64bit Live CD [23:03] zenix: 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] my processor is 64 bit [23:03] zenix: i.e., the default is for things not to be shared [23:03] queuetip, this probably stemmed from installing ubuntu [23:03] if the live cd boots on another machine, and doesn't boot on your desktop - is the problem with ubuntu? [23:04] anml: Try a 32-bit Live CD anyway [23:04] rww, thanks! [23:04] the installation is 64bit though, doesn't it need a 64 to fix the issue if I reinstall? [23:04] no, you can run a lot of 32bity things on a 64bit architecture [23:04] anml: What are you trying to repair? [23:05] yeah, really, what's the root of the question [23:05] For 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). I have also tried moving the my.cnf file and rebooting and it doesn't seem to correct the problem. Does anyone else know of any other things I could do to try to [23:05] fix the problem? [23:05] funnyzbunny69y: try #mysql [23:06] I installed ubuntu today. everything was working, even after several reboots. then I rebooted again after finishing the updates, and I got the error: no such device [23:06] fuzzybunny69y: also i've only ever seen that problem after moving the data directory and then not updating my.cnf correctly [23:06] Queuetip, I did and they told me to ask in here lol [23:06] !dell [23:06] heh well, funny of them, but why would you ask a question regarding mysql (and a common error at that) in ubuntu? [23:06] to 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 error [23:07] "no such device" as in the hard drive? [23:07] rww, wow... restarted and its all dandy now. The proprietary driver is turned off, started up fine, no more tearing or graphics problems! huh.. i guess sometimes things just work out [23:07] anml: Sounds like your PC has problems booting anything. Possibly a bad IDE or SATA controller. Go into the BIOS and reset to default settings [23:07] anml: ^^ === ascott_tainer is now known as ascott_lt [23:07] i have a question... i set UFW to default deny, and enabled it. Will this protect me in case i accidentally install a server program that opens ports? [23:08] no such device, as in, I have no idea what it is talking about. it gives me a long string of alphanumeric code [23:08] anml: no such device is a hardware problem [23:08] myboringnickname: yes [23:08] reset all of your bios settings and try booting to the master harddrive [23:08] obviously [23:08] yeah well obviously ubuntu is not hardware [23:08] erUSUL: so basically it will block everything incoming, even if something like apache is trying to listen? [23:08] myboringnickname: correct [23:08] anml: set cdrom before other devices in bios boot list. The problem with livecd is that bios is not booting cdrom before disk. [23:09] this is the message I just got from booting the CD: disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter [23:09] erUSUL: okay thanks :) [23:09] When i boot up in my ubuntu, Plymout fails to initiate, it says: Plymout failed to init. killed by KILL signal.. or soemthing simillar [23:09] thune, I did do that. [23:09] so bassicall i get a bunch of vorbouse information that i dont care abotu inste4ad of the ubuntu splash screen [23:09] anml: disk boot failure = bad harddrive or crappy ide connection to said harddive [23:09] atm my hard drives are unplugged so as to FORCE it to boot from disk lol [23:10] um? I jsut said my hard drives are UNPLUGGED [23:10] not my hdds [23:10] anml: is the CD drive plugged n with SATA or IDE? [23:10] sata [23:10] anml: that sounds hardware, what if you unplug the CD too? [23:10] for what? [23:11] anml: use a different port or use IDE if possible [23:11] SATA? You might want to double check the BIOS for that, I once thought I was booting from it, but it had a different name. Dumb MB [23:11] what do you mean check the bios for it [23:12] anml: /join #hardware [23:12] boot into bios, check the boot order, see if it's even using the CD on SATA [23:12] apt-get upgrade comepletely borked my mysql installation, i think. Right now I'm trying to fix it, but is there any way to back up databases without the database server working? I can't launch mysqld even manually, and the only potential fixes i'm finding suggest to purge mysql completely [23:12] you can /msg me and I'll throw you more ideas [23:12] zschallz: try #mysql but .. those databases, are just files on your computer [23:12] check my.cnf as to where those files are located [23:13] That's what I was thinking... [23:13] well, that's the answer [23:13] anml: the cdrom is a different error than the hdd boot right? i've had old computer stall on boot when usb device was plugged in, giving a similar message. === kuze is now known as Guest57947 [23:14] Would the files just "drag and drop" with a new installation, though? [23:14] no, I get the same error from cd rom even when I boot from CD/DVD. it only gives me this error if I unplug my hdds to force boot from CD [23:14] i've tried different discs, different ISOs, all burned at the slowest speed etc. [23:14] I googled and did all of that troubleshooting [23:14] anml: Try using a different SATA port [23:15] Hollo, any idea why my Numpad doesnt work ? I cant type any number even if NumLock its ON or OFF ... :/ And now.. theres not a problem with Keyboard Model :/ [23:15] I am looking to install a webmail in ubuntu 9.04, I've tried squirrelmail without luck, ended up re-installing desktop suit; does anyone know about horde [23:15] hello. 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?? [23:16] nitzschonot have you tried a 2nd keyboard? [23:16] from 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 install [23:17] littlepenguin, no actually. Didnt had any problems some days ago with this Keyboard. And i dont have a problem in windows too [23:17] ah ok.. [23:18] NitzchONot, kepp pressing 4 or 6, does your mousepointer move ? [23:18] *keep / c [23:18] Oer, yes... :$ [23:18] Oer, even with Numlock On/Off [23:18] heyo, i'm trying to set up ubuntu server, and i accidentally deleted courier's imapd.conf file. i tried apt-get remove and reinstalling, but it didn't work. suggestions? [23:18] the page I quoted says "If you already have a working linux system, installing without external media is easy. You need to create a new partition, copy the CD contents over to it, boot from the new partition, and proceed as if you were installing from a CD" but I am stumped in the last step ("proceed as if..." ?) [23:19] ah nice, your numpad is mouse now, change it in keyboard === carlos is now known as carod [23:19] what is the name of the channel of ubuntu packaing? [23:19] packaging* [23:20] carop: theres more to it then 'copy the cd contents over to it' You need to set up some sort of bootloader to actually boot the cd coop [23:20] !packaing [23:20] !packaging [23:20] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [23:20] Dr_Willis, I've done that, I've set up grub, and it does boot on that partition. Then kubuntu starts up... and does nothing! it just gives me the prompt in console mode [23:20] carop: one way is to copy the ISO file to a partition, and set up grub2 to boot the ISO file. [23:21] !packaging|carod [23:21] carod: please see above [23:21] thanks you [23:21] I need the room of the irc [23:21] about packaging [23:21] what kernel is 10.4 geared towards? [23:21] carop: the unetbootin tool can take an iso file and make a 'live -cd' setup on a hard drive also. using syslinux as its bootloader. [23:21] Oer, any ideas how i change it ? LOL [23:22] Dr_Willis, I used grub 0.95, not grub2, but I doubt it makes any difference since the kubuntu live CD copied to the partition does boot [23:22] NitzchONot, yes, open keyboard in system-menu, 3th tab > unselect mouse [23:22] carod: #ubuntu-packaging maybe? [23:22] when I press shift + up in a tty (gnome-terminal) it types ;2A what is that called? [23:22] Oer, i must be blind, i fount it. Thanks for that :D [23:22] have fun :-) [23:22] thanks you, I dont know how I can forgotten the name :) [23:22] forget* [23:22] carop: proberly some config setting in the bootloader is not getting passed on or set properly then.

((truthfullly, I have never been able to get synaptic to work for anything. )lie: I instaled schat-gnome with it and had to remove it.( I consistently user terminal. )) [23:34] iceroot: how do I install horde, 'horde' doesn't have an installation candidate as in `sudo apt-get install horde` [23:34] Using netbootin, I accidently installed UBCD to my Ubuntu hard drive instead of my USB drive...didn't even notice till I rebooted, and now it will only boot UBCD...is there anyway I can save this? [23:34] hello [23:34] :D [23:34] acovrig: sudo apt-get install horde3 [23:35] Dr_Willis: mmm if I only had an empty flash drive that would be fun. Well I saved the PPA help files on the flashdrive and so I'll go shut down and mess with the jumpers on some old hard drives and see if I can get them recognized. Thanks [23:35] iceroot: I'd assume I still need postfix and courier? [23:35] Huh... [23:36] acovrig: yes [23:36] Seems freenodes irc counts as a proxy... [23:36] iceroot: does it matter the inst order? [23:36] how do i get a clean imapd.cnf for courier? [23:37] Using netbootin, I accidently installed UBCD to my Ubuntu hard drive instead of my USB drive...didn't even notice till I rebooted, and now it will only boot UBCD...I think my normal system is still in there, but I can't get it to boot. I CAN get to a grub prompt though...can anybody help me fix it, please? [23:37] ok I have a question.. [23:37] acovrig: no [23:37] I seem to have a boot problem with ubuntu 10.4, not sure if its speciffically cause of taht but when i boot, and it shows a pinkish screen, but then my display cuts out on me and i cant seen to enter teh setup but teh pc is still on [23:37] acovrig: apt-get will handle the correct order (dependencies) [23:37] dr Willis how can I determine the dev/ of my CD ROM. lsusb shows the bus and device ID with the description IDE Adapter. In vbox after enabling this device xp sees the drive. I read that I may recompile the kernel to read the scsi devices [23:37] I created a "shared" folder in lucid just now by right clicking and selecting "sharing options".. [23:38] can I share this folder with win7? [23:38] This channel seems to get too much traffic to have new problems attended to >.< [23:39] antonio_: with samba, yes [23:39] SH-Chris: Which version are you installing? [23:39] RedLance_: Lucid [23:39] iceroot: I installed something called samba dfsg (something like that)... [23:39] how do I use this? [23:39] !samba | antonio_ [23:39] antonio_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [23:40] Too many joins and parts man... [23:40] SH-Chris: you can ignore them [23:40] SH-Chris: Ok, so after it shows you the post screen (where it lists what drives you have installed and what not) does it seem to boot the cd? Does it show anything after the post screen? [23:40] can i just remove a compiled kernel with the command "rm" (those 2 image and header .deb files)? [23:40] RedLance_, righclick the #ubuntu channel and select hide join/part messages [23:41] is there a gui version of samba, so I don't have to do a lot of manual editing? [23:41] RedLance_: Cd boots, i see a pinkish block with an image at teh bottom, then an underscore blinking, and then my display cuts out randomly. I also have W7 installed as well [23:41] What does this mean? ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [23:41] How can I add a module to the kernel that enables scsi devices? [23:42] Ramzes: what module do you need to add [23:42] jimi_: it means your remote host refused to offer / exchange ssl certificates with you [23:42] ikonia, how can i see why? [23:42] SH-Chris: I would try the alternate install and use the command line installer. It's available here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [23:43] jimi_: contact the host provider to check the logs [23:43] jimi_: ssh user@host -vvvvv [23:43] ikonia, i am the host provider, thanks [23:43] RedLance_: Doing so i still get to use ubuntu with all of its GUI goodness when its done right? [23:43] iceroot, ok, its dying when it tries to send keys [23:43] jimi_: what are you connecting to, a web server ? [23:43] SH-Chris: Yes you do. [23:43] ikonia, no an ssh server [23:43] Allright, thanks [23:44] jimi_: /var/log/auth.log /var/log/daemon.log [23:44] NP [23:44] * SH-Chris is off to download anotehr iso and wait 4 hours for it once more :\ [23:44] jimi_: check out iceroot's command then, it should give a clue as to why, also turn debugging up on sshd [23:44] iceroot, thanks, i will check that now... getting the same error on the remote host when i ssh localhost [23:44] Using netbootin, I accidently installed UBCD to my Ubuntu hard drive instead of my USB drive...didn't even notice till I rebooted, and now it will only boot UBCD...I think my normal system is still in there, but I can't get it to boot. I CAN get to a grub prompt though...can anybody help me fix it, please? I currently have a boot: prompt... [23:45] RedLance_: Oh, and i also tried teh Wubi installer, same thing. Says its finishing install and display cuts out [23:45] RedLance_: Ima lso using an nvidia built in GPU [23:45] RedLance_: did you install it to the same partition as your ubuntu partition ? [23:45] SH-Chris: What kind of video card do you have? [23:45] hey, can someone with courier paste the contents of their imapd.cnf file plox? [23:45] is there a environment variable to see if nautilus is intalled or not? [23:45] RedLance_: Lemme check [23:45] ikonia: Probably [23:45] RedLance_: probably gone then [23:46] ikonia: *sigh* Great... [23:46] bsod1, "which nautilus" should return "/usr/bin/nautilus" IF that helps [23:46] Danger_: for what program is that, its not present by default [23:46] courier [23:46] ZykoticK9: ty [23:46] i got a notice about [USN-966-1] Linux kernel vulnerabilities ...can i upgrade affected packages with apt? [23:47] Danger_: sorry Im blind [23:47] hey guys how do you check to see if mysql is set to start on boot? [23:47] RedLance_: GeForce 6150 LE [23:47] ugh... compiz keeps crashing... "compiz --replace" works but a minute later, it un-sets itself [23:47] it's /etc/courier/imapd.cnf [23:47] dexi: Does it show any interesting output? [23:48] hi, is anybody familiar with Ubuntu Amazon AMIs here? [23:48] soreau, yes, one second [23:48] I have a very simple question [23:48] ariel_g, can't find it > http://www.ubuntu.com/usn [23:48] fuzzybunny69y you'd see a file like S19mysql in /etc/rc2.d [23:48] soreau, WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug! [23:49] basically: where does the running user-data log? [23:49] Oer: yeah, me neither, so I was kinda worried about that. where did I get this email from? Am I under attack? [23:49] SH-Chris: Hmmm...I have Ubuntu installed on a couple systems with that GPU...if the alternate install dosen't work, maybe you should try an older version, like Hardy, and then upgrade it once it's working. [23:49] can i just remove a compiled kernel with the command "rm" (those 2 image and header .deb files)? [23:49] RedLance_: Allright :) [23:49] dexi: That is a harmless message and can be ignored. If you are sure compiz is crashing, Can you install compiz-dbg and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra then enable Crash Handler plugin in ccsm and crash it again, then look in /tmp for a back trace? [23:50] ariel_g, found it > http://www.listware.net/201008/full-disclosure/13240-full-disclosure-idefense-security-advisory-080310-citrix-ica-client-activex-memory-corruption-vulnerabillity.html [23:50] ikonia: sd-mod and sr_mod for the moment [23:50] 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] JoeMaverickSett, typically you'd uninstall a kernel using the regular "apt-get remove BLAH" or use Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center. [23:51] RedLance_: 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] soreau, ok i'll do that but I can't control when it happens [23:51] ZykoticK9, i compiled it myself so, could you give me some more info on it? haven't installed it though. [23:51] ariel_g, does this apply to you, ica ? [23:51] !manual | pil_ [23:51] thune3: Ok, thanks man. [23:51] pil_: 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] thune3: Or lady?? [23:51] JoeMaverickSett, if you manually installed it, i have no idea - best of luck. [23:52] ZykoticK9, eh, okie.thanks anyways. :) [23:52] Oer: the notice i got is more detailed and makes it look like I am affected. [23:52] anyone know how to change environment variables globally? (I barely even know what that means) [23:52] ubottu: thanks for the info [23:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:52] just know I have to do it :) [23:52] Guys, is there a way to build up a kernel to get more modules and where shall I get them from? [23:52] ariel_g, hmmm there is nothing with mysql anywhere in there [23:52] aight guys, all i need is a sample working courier imapd.conf file. please? [23:52] Hey, 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] !kernel | Ramzes [23:52] Ramzes: 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 stages [23:53] ariel_g, do you know how I would get mysql to startup on boot? [23:53] Why is this dependency not met? evolution: Depends: libgtkhtml-editor0 (< 3.31) but 1:3.29.6.is.3.28.3-0ubuntu2 is to be installed [23:53] Hi All [23:53] guys, how do you change environment variables globally? and what does that actually mean? [23:54] fuzzybunny69y for runlevel 2....just put a symlink like S19mysql in /etc/rc2.d to /etc/init.d/mysql [23:54] tsziklay: environment variables are a per-process thing, there is no such thing as "global" environment variables. [23:54] le sigh, got to run. but... i'll be back! [23:55] sparrW: 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 something [23:56] tsziklay: 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 java [23:56] RedLance_: Installing teh 32 bit edition on a pc with a 64bit processor wont matter at all right? [23:57] SH-Chris: Nope, that'll work fine. [23:57] sparrW: I see, then the next question would b how do I "start python with the appropriate JAVA_HOME"? [23:57] whats up ubuntu? [23:57] ubottu: 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] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:57] tsziklay: the simplest, "JAVA_HOME=/some/path/to/java/stuff python script.py" [23:58] tsziklay: there are other options [23:58] sparrW: 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? [23:59] Ramza, a USB CDROM "should" work out of the box - mine does anyway. [23:59] does anyone here know the date of 10.10? [23:59] tsziklay: no, it's supposed to be to where all your java support files live, possibly /usr/local/something/java [23:59] hello all
