[00:00] JEUS, you have to configure your net manually [00:00] Don't remember, methinks it was madwifi, but im not completely sure [00:00] petriborg1: im not using a live cd! [00:00] Resolance, yeah [00:00] KE1HA - SoldOut - I can hack xorg to bits, done it for years, would doing something like that work possibly? [00:00] tank_, What card are you using? [00:00] hello, i want my pc be turn off after 30 min what should i do? [00:00] pepee: Okay. Thanks. I'm going to give it a try now. [00:00] pepee, no [00:00] is there anyone here that was advising on my domain issue [00:00] petriborg1, LiveCD, yes I did the Alternate Install and Desktop Installs. Was a bit off-center until the install finished, but other than that was ok. [00:00] Mostafa: shutdown command can take a time argument [00:00] KE1HA - SoldOut - i'm not using a live cd either, what i mean is, when you did the install connected to the hdtv, did the live cd see the hdtv? [00:00] checking lspci.. hold on [00:01] JEUS, ? I can help you [00:01] Well if I boot into recovery mode I can access the websites [00:01] What's different in recovery mode? [00:01] petriborg1, Yes, mine looked like a Giant Monitor basically. [00:01] KE1HA - SoldOut - hm ok [00:01] makson: check the ChrootDirectory option of openssh [00:01] Dr_Willis: im installing epiphany and see what happnes [00:01] KE1HA - SoldOut - i'm going to go see if i can poke the gnome panel into showing me some monitor thing, biab [00:01] graffy, the parameter "single" in the kernel command line [00:02] petriborg1, I had to Select HDTV-xx1 or xx2 whatever on the TV, not the TV Selection. [00:02] Dr_Willis, i am lesting to mp3 too, dose this shutdown close it too or not? [00:02] how to make my home not protected by ecryptfs? [00:02] petriborg1, oops sri, not the PC selection I mean. [00:02] pepee: what does "single" do? why does it fix my dns problem? [00:02] Mostafa: yes it does [00:02] intel centrino advanced-n +wimax 6250 [00:03] petriborg1: system >> preferences>> monitors [00:03] ilovefairuz, tnx [00:03] Cheguerz: If I use vpn pptp, is it normal for the pptp service to always be running started as root: /usr/sbin/pptp "name of VPN provider" -- nolaunchpppd. Or is it some sort of vulnrability. Thank you. [00:03] graffy, no, it will not. [00:04] Mostafa: open a terminal (when you want to shutdown) and type: shutdown -h +30 [00:04] i just executed ubuntu-vm-builder but i forgot about the libvirt parameter... so it didnt install properly. Did it leave a file somewhere though? or does it clean up by itself [00:04] Dr_Willis: same thing with epiphany [00:04] how to make my home dir not protected by ecryptfs? or how to make it work with nfs, since at present only it shows files from graphical shells, and from cli it acts as if not mounted, or mounted with only x but not read privileges [00:05] yankdownunder: don't mean to rush you, but im kinda hijacking my brother's ethernet cable to stay on the internets [00:05] tank_, Check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1529993 [00:05] graffy, I don't really know exactly what it does, but it's for letting you get a root console, and/or fix some things automatically [00:05] kk [00:05] pepee: when I am in recovery mode I can visit amazon.com etc. when i boot normally, I can't [00:06] graffy, that's interesting === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [00:06] tank_, It would appear as though you have to install "linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [00:06] yep, just read that [00:06] pepee: i really want to solve this rather than reinstall [00:06] pepee: in fact now i want to solve it, then reinstall [00:07] graffy, probably some init config got messed up [00:07] ilovefairuz, tnx alot, see you all later, have nice time [00:07] Dr_Willis: removed the fonts [00:07] brb [00:07] hello, I just commited to a repository using git and I received a warning saying "Your name and email address were configured automatically based on your username and hostname. Please check that they are accurate. Ypi cam suppress this message by setting them explicitly: git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.e-mail you@example.com" [00:07] but I've already set them [00:07] graffy, I don't know how to reconfigure the init scripts :/ [00:07] so when I type git config --global user.name it displays my username [00:07] tank_, Since you're "hijacking" yer bro's ethernet, have you tried doing the "System/Administration/Hardware Drivers" -> to see if the system picks up the proper driver? [00:08] why isn't it being recognised? [00:08] Dr_Willis: prob solved!!! [00:08] does anyone knows how to reconfigure the init scripts/configs? [00:09] yankdownunder: yeah did that already to get proprietary 3d drivers [00:09] SimonP86: nano ~/.gitconfig [00:09] pepee, what do you mean configs, the default rc.d's ? [00:09] SimonP86: if you want per repo, check $repo/.git/config [00:10] KE1HA, yeah [00:10] pepee: which one? [00:10] tank_, Yeah - and? Anything else show up aside from the graphics drivers? [00:10] nope. [00:10] nothing else [00:10] how to make my home dir not protected by ecryptfs? or how to make it work with nfs, since at present only it shows files from graphical shells, and from cli it acts as if not mounted, or mounted with only x but not read privileges [00:10] SoldOut, don't really know... [00:10] pepee: what exactly are you trying to change? [00:10] sudo apt-get update rc.d [package_name] runlevels [00:10] SoldOut, KE1HA ilovefairuz I suppose is related to this: pepee: when I am in recovery mode I can visit amazon.com etc. when i boot normally, I can't [00:11] yankdownunder: anything else to try? [00:12] pepee: that's a networking issue, not an "init script" issue [00:12] I installed ubuntu from a live cd image on a usb stick, how can I add this to my sources.list so I can enable proprietary drivers for my wireless ? [00:12] yankdownunder: still not picking up the wireless [00:12] pepee, that's what I would think as well, netwk issue. [00:13] how to make my home dir not protected by ecryptfs? or how to make it work with nfs, since at present only it shows files from graphical shells, and from cli it acts as if not mounted, or mounted with only x but not read privileges [00:13] I did a routine update on my 8.04; now cannot reach the samba share on that machine. %^*(^$ [00:13] tank_, So did ya do the installation of the backports yet? Should be next on the list mate [00:13] Cheguerz: If I use vpn pptp, is it normal for the pptp service to always be running started as root: /usr/sbin/pptp "name of VPN provider" -- nolaunchpppd. Or is it some sort of vulnerability. Thank you. [00:13] yankdownunder: did that [00:14] Is the @ in a BIND9 zone file just a shortcut for the FQDN the file is for? so like example.com. might have an "@ IN NS ns.example.com.", which is the same as "example.com. IN NS ns.example.com." [00:14] ilovefairuz, KE1HA well, there's something that just works when running on "safe mode" [00:14] **works only [00:14] yankdownunder: im going to attempt cutting the power completely to the laptop, someone mentioned it on the thread. if that doesnt do jack, a restart helps anyway. brb [00:15] it seems the ubuntu installer partitioned my disk in a strange way, such that some partitions lie off of disk boundaries, furthermore, installing freebsd on one of these partitions later, it changed the partition table (MBR) such that disk utility now sees a bunch of extra bogus partitions inside the last (extended) one. this is obviously impossible as some are huge and therefore the sum of the partitions exceeds the size of my disk. my qu [00:15] estion is, does there exist a safe way (with gparted on a livecd, I'd expect) to fix the MBR and move those partitions onto cylinder boundaries to prevent further weirdness, with, but preferably without, extra space for copying data, or is it going to be easier if I just save dpkg information and reinstall from scratch, being more careful about partitioning this time? [00:15] tank_, What you might wanna check is to see if the driver is "blacklisted" -> so you'd check the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf => see if it's listed there (the driver) -> if it's listed, put a # in front of it and reboot [00:15] pepee: that could mean a lot of things, wrong dns servers, wrong default gateway, ... [00:15] pepee, or it could be something "not working" in safe mode that allowing net connection. [00:15] (sorry about the gigantic message) [00:15] if I don't have a hard NIC or a CDRom drive what's the best way to install the drivers on a broodcom Wifi card? [00:15] so what is the syntaxis for a package mirror on the local filesystem [00:16] pepee: Switch from UUIDs to device names didn't help. :\ [00:16] sanguisdex, Use the "Hardware Drivers" utility to find the broadcom drivers and install/activate them for ya...simplest way [00:16] sanguisdex, Use a Windows Box and ICS to your linux machine for Net connection. [00:16] leifw: your partitions are a bit of a mess probaly better to start again [00:17] ilovefairuz, KE1HA yeah, that's right [00:17] SoldOut, I was hoping that wouldn't be the answer :/ [00:17] KE1HA: ICS? [00:17] yankdownunder: if you're still there, it all works now. Thanks for the help! [00:17] sanguisdex, ICS = Internet Connection Share [00:17] tank_, Roger that. [00:17] SoldOut, do you know which package is most appropriate to file a bug against? [00:17] the installer shouldn't make unaligned partitions [00:18] and this is clearly avoidable with parted [00:18] anyone managed to play runescape on ubuntu with HD ? [00:19] maxwellian, try removing mountall or updating from the root console in "safe mode" === GreySim is now known as Guest71591 [00:19] I have no way to connect the machies to the a network at the time, and Ubuntu will not recognize a Live USB as a live disk repo source (even mounting the ISO has not worked) [00:19] leifw: it really depends on what state the drive was in(partition wise ) when you first began [00:19] SoldOut, new drive === Guest71591 is now known as FailSim [00:19] datacrusher, Seems sombody has, though I've not peronally: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=844997 [00:20] Anyone know where to start troubleshooting why FTP hangs when I try to connect to a server? [00:20] kentr: did it ever work before? [00:20] maxwellian, IIRC that was a common problem in lucid [00:20] pepee: You're saying I should rm the mountall script? And what do you mean "update" from the root console? Update what? [00:20] sanguisdex, Well, that's a bit of a problem, if you have "no" internet connection capability, it's gonna be tough to sort that out. [00:21] ilovefairuz: not on this machine. But no problem from other machines to the same FTP server. [00:21] Hey room, I'm running into problems with my graphics card. It was working two days ago, but yesterday when I booted ubuntu, it needed to run in low graphics mode, and started with these errors: http://chiggins.pastebin.com/NbJ7n7ri When I go back to the login prompt, and run startx, my graphics are back, but no acceleration [00:21] KE1HA: I have an internet connection just not a working nic on the machine [00:21] kentr: what client are you using? have you tried other clients? [00:21] has anyone used excel with crossover (need it for work)? [00:21] sanguisdex, You only have the One machine ? [00:22] maxwellian, nope, remove the "mountall" package, or execute: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade [00:22] leifw: Im a bit confused , you installed ubuntu from a live cd on to a new drive then went to freebsd? [00:22] no I have the one I am using now [00:22] pepee: Can it operate without mountall? [00:22] Using the /usr/bin/ftp on Ubuntu Server 9 [00:22] sanguisdex, then you should be able to ICS to your other box I would think. [00:23] ilovefairuz: Using the /usr/bin/ftp on member:Ubuntu Server 9 [00:23] Wither though Wireless / Switch / Hub or Crossover cable. [00:23] maxwellian, try updating your system first [00:23] what is the best way to access linux files from the windows partition? i see lots of ext2/ext3 drivers. but ubuntu is ext4. would these still work? [00:23] dublinchore, yes, theall will acees, but the "best way" is through Samba. [00:23] is there a way to see a history of what command was typed from within a website /var/www/html/site.php [00:23] ilovefairuz: as far as I know, it could be a firewall issue. It's finding the correct IP for the server... [00:24] im using escapeshellcmd [00:24] maxwellian, wait, I thnk I'm wrong [00:24] I really would just like to know how to get packagem manger to recognize the mounted ISO as the live CD [00:24] dublinchore: in short no ext4 is still very new [00:24] is there an irc channel for wine? [00:24] checking to see why the bash script wont invoke my next command [00:24] kentr: try filezilla or gftp ? [00:25] pepee: Phew, good thing I'm not quick on the trigger. ;) [00:25] sanguisdex, if the Package manger has not already recognized it, it's not going too as it's currently built. [00:25] THIS DESERVES ALL CAPS. AFTER FIVE HOURS OF HAIR PULLING I FIGURED OUT THE MYSTERY DNS PROBLEM!!!!!!! [00:25] I need it to be cli. End goal is to wget a file from an FTP server via shell script. [00:25] ilovefairuz: I need it to be cli. End goal is to wget a file from an FTP server via shell script. [00:25] oh. so i install samba on the linux partition and windows can reach it? [00:25] graffy: *claps* [00:25] maxwellian, sorry... [00:25] sanguisdex: Extract these to /lib/firmware http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz [00:26] pepee: No prob, I'm glad you're trying at least. :) === Freeaqingme is now known as Guest84502 [00:26] dublinchore, in the simpliest of terms, yes, You Share the Linux folder, and that's the easiest way.

[00:26] psycho789: did you untar the wgole package? [00:26] evening all [00:27] pepee: So what do you think you were wrong about? I'm assuming update/upgrade is probably okay to do, but I shouldn't remove mountall? [00:27] how do I kill all child and subchild processes of a process? [00:27] hiexpo, Morning :) [00:27] maxwellian, remove plymouth [00:27] * YankDownUnder thinks it's morning in Oz [00:27] maxwellian, yeah, that is [00:27] afternoon here thanx [00:27] Everyone: It just shows the power of ipblock, I highly reccomend installing it if you do anything shady [00:27] mountall shouldn't be removed [00:27] add url lists from blocklist.org [00:27] graffy, Yes....hehehhehe...veritably... [00:28] maxwellian, anyway, you can search for those bugs [00:28] pepee: Plymouth bugs?

[00:29] kentr: try ftp -v -p [00:29] pepee: Aptitude says that mountall depends on plymouth. [00:29] KE1HA: dosnt that kill all processes that match the name/pid what about their subprocesses? [00:29] KE1HA: err child processes [00:29] if your not mounting all yout /dev drives, no need to worry abt plymouth, as it wont be there. [00:30] hiexpo: you can set the label using applications > system tools > disk utility [00:30] KE1HA: Are you talking to me?

[01:10] maxwellian, yeah, /var/log/syslog, or the command dmesg [01:10] i'd have to agree with hiexpo.. 4 gig is more then enough unless you do some really crazy stuff.. even with virtualisation [01:10] maxwellian, try: dmesg | tail [01:10] i've done with 2 gb for years [01:10] i got an interesting one but the darn php channel is full [01:10] hiexpo: Rigth now I am using 2104 MB ram [01:11] you may need 4GB [01:11] **** maxwellian, try: dmesg | less [01:11] ever try editing high res photography in the gimp?

[01:27] radar3d_, its command line [01:27] radar3d_, copt the file name i just posted and google ifand download it [01:27] so is there a disk cloner that will ignore frespace [01:27] bsmith093: dd | gzip [01:27] ilovefairuz, then don't package a broken version of rubygems. i kinda understand the argument, but it's like not allowing firefox users to install plugins from within the app. [01:28] radar3d_, you might instead try video download helper a firefox addon [01:28] use ddrescue instead of dd [01:28] bsmith093: fsarchiver can do that to some degree [01:28] bsmith093: or google for one that will skip the blanks [01:28] bazhang, i don't work [01:28] ^it [01:28] how well will gzip compress 300 gb of free space [01:28] hiexpo, sure it does. [01:28] bsmith093: dd it to a image file.. and you can mount the image file. No need to do an 'iso' inless you are going to burn to optical disk [01:28] Why am I not able to drag my current active window off another screen to another workspace? Ubuntu normally allows me to do this by default. Why not now? [01:28] bsmith093: in theory a WHOLE lot. if its all 0's :) [01:28] alright Dr_Willis i took that bit out. it was just something i saw laying around in some info on mounting HDDs to folders for samba sharing. that line works on the other drive. so i like i said i just copied it [01:28] QaDeS_: firefox add-ons are installed in user profiles, unlike ruby gems [01:29] is there a gui to dd to an img [01:29] Kaie`: i dont see how it works for that one either. [01:29] MarkSS: you usually don't need to repeat yourself so soon. [01:29] hiexpo, no joy on googling that [01:29] bsmith093: check ghostzilla [01:29] thanks [01:29] bazhang, let me see [01:29] radar3d_, one sec [01:30] ilovefairuz: isn't it clonezilla [01:30] oh now i got a different error [01:30] Dr_Willis, Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE [01:30] library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated [01:30] FUSE support and make it setuid root. [01:30] ianwizard: bsmith093: correct, it's clonezilla [01:30] yes thanks [01:31] Kaie`: and how are you trying to mount it? [01:31] radar3d_, ok yep your right no google on that one i have it and it only 27 kb's you want it [01:31] Kaie`: what command? [01:31] just in fstab. [01:31] which program can use to make a dvd video from a video ts folder like nero [01:31] so it automatically does it at boot [01:32] Kaie`: so you rebooted and it said that? [01:32] yeah [01:32] ilovefairuz, gems install into ~/.gem by default... [01:32] Kaie`: and whats your exact fstab entry for it now? [01:32] Dr_Willis, one sec [01:32] My Ubuntu One client freezes every time I launch it [01:32] any advice? [01:32] Kaie`: and you can test without rebooting via the 'sudo mount -a' command [01:33] QaDeS_: not when running as root [01:33] Dr_Willis, UUID=7E7A62467A61FAF3 /home/kaie/USBShareTWO ntfs users,umask=0000,utf8=true 0 0 [01:33] For some reason, metacity's auto_raise configuration is not being effective. I have it set to false, and yet applications are still stealing global focus. Any solutions? [01:33] radar3d_, don't worry there is no virus for linux > if not ok also just trying to help ya [01:33] Frankiitaa: devede? [01:33] Ima li nqkoi bulgarin da popitam neshto? [01:33] bazhang, i got it installed (download helper) restarted firefox and it is saying it is missing something, but doesn't say what it is [01:34] Kaie`: trim out the umask and utf options perhaps. and try just 'sudo mount /home/kaie/USBShareTWO' \ [01:34] hiexpo, Thanks, but i think the firefox addon is the way to go [01:34] ilovefairuz: is it the name of the program that you recomend? [01:34] Kaie`: you do realize you could mount it to /media/ and just have a link in the users home from /media/USBshareTwo to /home/username/USBShareTwo :) [01:34] radar3d_, ok good luck with that :) [01:34] Pacho: what's your native language? [01:35] Bulgarian ? [01:35] Frankiitaa: yeah check it out [01:35] Kaie`: your HOME is on its own parittion or not? You are not trying to mount that befor home is mounted are you? [01:35] Dr_Willis, that will allow me to share? [01:35] ilovefairuz, thanks [01:35] have two monitors connected in twinview as of 8.04 I could span an application to cover both monitors not any more now .. any idea why? [01:35] my / and /home are seperate [01:35] hmmm...let's discuss that tomorrow. gtg [01:35] cya's [01:36] USB audio device isn't working. can anyone help, checked the forums and such, nothing has worked thus far [01:36] !bg | Pacho [01:36] Pacho: опитайте #ubuntu-bg за български потребители . try #ubuntu-bg for bulgarian users, and please idle there patiently [01:36] Kaie`: i share directories in /media/ all the time via samba.. [01:36] Dr_Willis, i dont specifically care about mounting to a folder. i just want to be able to share it. [01:36] Why am I not able to drag my current active window off another screen to another workspace? Ubuntu normally allows me to do this by default. Why not now? [01:36] tank ..:D [01:36] bazhang, regarding youtube-dl -- i do believe the version in Ubuntu repo is not working with changes to YouTube, and thus having to use version outside of repo... [01:36] MarkSS: thers a compiz/gnome setting that enables taht feature I recall.. perhaps its turned off. [01:37] is Terminal and Bash the same thing? [01:37] bazhang, ok just checked and the 3 balloons do work sorry about that [01:37] Dr_Willis, yeah i never tried that.. i just tried sharing folders from within the drive icon that shows up [01:37] basix-: terminal is a more geernic term for 'any' shell/program to access a command line interface [01:37] basix-: bash the the program that runs inside a terminal, called a "shell" [01:38] Kaie`: you can always edit the smb.conf to share whatever you want also. [01:38] pacho? [01:38] basix-: yes and no. no they are not, but bash runs in the terminal, and is the interface that you use [01:38] nothing Tank. :) [01:38] rofl pacho [01:38] okay, thanks again :) [01:38] anyone able to halp? [01:38] ZykoticK9, - i just offeredhim the new one i made but he declined so oh well [01:38] Uh, quick check...if I just upgraded to 10.04, shouldn't I have grub2, not grub installed? [01:38] basix-: theres other 'shells' you can use.. but basically they all run in a 'terminal' (on X at least) for you to actually access them [01:39] Dr_Willis: How do I check on that feature? [01:39] MarkSS: its in the settings somewhere.. I dont recall where. [01:39] so do i have to do anything special to access bash within terminal? or is it already there and i just type the terminal commands? [01:39] tank: what kind of usb device? and pastebin lsusb [01:39] rofl tank [01:39] muaha [01:39] :D [01:39] muhaha [01:39] ;d [01:39] Pacho: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:39] Dr_Willis, ive never reall messed with smb.conf.... the only time i did i EFFed everything up [01:40] Pacho: stop this please [01:40] Bus 003 Device 002: ID 047f:ad01 Plantronics, Inc.

[01:40] ilovefairuz its a usb headset [01:41] Dr_Willis, that was the craziest bit. i did save a copy of the original.. but the system still wouldnt share. i had to reinstall [01:41] it was intense [01:41] Kaie`: I imagine you did somthing else wrong that would of been trivial to fix.

[01:42] when i hop on another machine it cant resolve the network path [01:42] the share shows.. i just can access it [01:43] Kaie`: try entering the full URL to the share in the gnome file manager, and also try it via the machines IP not machine name.

You cant 'suid' a script. but you could make some sort of binary you could suid, and have that run other things.. [02:04] Kaie`: When in doubt read the NTFS-3g docs/faq/guides. Its not rocket-surgery. its rather logical. 0_o [02:04] booting... [02:04] YES!

BASICALLY pulling a DIAG file from a device and emailing it [02:09] crazy6, sorry, no idea. btw, for making permanent, you should edit /etc/default/grub [02:09] pepee: yeah, that's where I changed it [02:09] I cannot open alsamixer, and lost my sound from yesterdays auto-update.

I'm reading the ubuntu forum with 'links' and it seems to say that's a way to make it work... apparently there's also a binary driver from broadcom I'll try [02:11] ritztech: so you need to run a script as 'root' access to do some admin tasks.

[02:44] pepee: I think that Wubi installed a 64bit version of Kubuntu ... [02:44] hmm ok [02:44] idrankwhat: are you using the live cd now? i'll walk you through it [02:45] grub is the bootloader. loads the kernel [02:45] deco, it seems to not be able to play the video. here is the output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5EAgaAtK [02:45] crazy6, uname -m for the OS type [02:45] crazy6, sorry if it didn't work :( [02:45] idrankwhat: what kind of errors? [02:45] zebulon ok I understand the bootloader. and what is sudu? [02:45] Does anyone know if there is any software on ubuntu that you can do like home design and stuff [02:45] pepee: ah, yeah, x86_64 ... I have this suspicion that it'll work a lot better if I can get it to give me a 32 bit version [02:45] can anyone help me setup oracle 10g on ubuntu ? [02:46] kballash: like qcad? [02:46] pepee: I can't just apt-get a 32-bit kernel, can I? [02:46] if you have a problem with grub2 try supergrubdisk2 http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ idrankwhat [02:46] kballash: google sketchup [02:46] crazy6: no [02:46] idrankwhat: are you using the live cd now or not? [02:46] crazy6, don't think so [02:46] worked with sketchup a little but yeah along those line [02:46] sudo elevates privileges of the use to root level [02:46] crazy6, anyway, I don't think that is relevant [02:47] kballash: its a good program yeah also a new one out called viewbuild [02:47] idrankwhat: now ,you can startup you ubuntu. [02:47] I am running windows right now. couldn't get going with the other. My laptop can boot up in Ubuntu OK. but thats not what I'm on right now. [02:47] yeah sketchup was ok ill check out the view build [02:47] idrankwhat: boot the live cd and join irc from there [02:48] deco, my guess is that the problem is here: [vdpau] Could not open dynamic library libvdpau.so.1 but i don't really know how to go about fixing it [02:49] OK, If I don't return I either didn't get booted up or may decide to do this in the morning. I am an early riser. and early to bed. [02:49] glib: do apt-cache search vdpau [02:49] idrankwhat: i think you disk uuid does't match you grub setting.so your kernel can't find the right root [02:49] glib: and install away [02:49] crazy6, you should compile the driver, but you have to remove that package linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [02:50] what driver pepee crazy6 '¿ [02:50] gl idrankwhat [02:50] crazy6, btw broadcom 4727 is for the wired net [02:51] thanks, rebooting with disk [02:51] pepee: oh, is that so [02:52] crazy6, lspci | grep -i wireless [02:52] how do i sink my yahoo email to the ubuntu desktop [02:53] kballash: pop or imap you have to pay to yahoo [02:53] kballash: "sink"? do you mean use it in an email client? it's not free with yahoo [02:53] kballash: i believe for some countries is free [02:53] pepee: nothing; lspci also shows an Atheros AR8131, which is an ethernet controller, so I'd think that is the wired network [02:53] maybe the Broadcom 4727 is a fluke, and it's just giving the wrong name [02:53] ilovefairuz: may I message you? [02:54] it is free with gmail though [02:54] IdleOne: sure [02:54] ahh ok anyone know any free one for pop or imap [02:54] kballash: gmail like zebulon_ mentioned [02:54] wow sorry tired missed that one... thanks guys lol [02:55] crazy6, sorry, I'm wrong...

[03:01] older versions [03:01] not 10.04 [03:02] zebulon_: you can build one yourself, there's solution on the wiki. [03:03] oh certainly, but that's hardly the same as a supported platform [03:04] how do i mark a windows partition as clean from inside ubuntu ( i cant boot the windows part, its a dying hd and i want to rescue it but the 'dirty bit' won't let me) [03:06] hi, my dell laptop has a monitor (vga) output port. It works fine while running Windows XP, but when I boot into Ubuntu I can't get it to output to the monitor. I searched google but couldn't find anything that worked. Any suggestions? [03:07] hi carolinae, we'll need more specifics like the dell model number and graphics card if possible [03:07] bsmith093: try in ##windows [03:07] oh wait [03:07] zebulon_: yes, you are right, but ubuntu on arm architecture may need customu, it can't works same as the desktop on x86. [03:08] !windows [03:08] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [03:08] zebulon_, it's a dell inspiron 8600, nvidia graphics card (would have to look up model though, if you need that) [03:08] hello [03:08] bsmith093: sorry I wouldn't know but I am guessing a Live CD and chroot, don't ask me how I have no clue [03:10] does anyone know how to change the color of the icon on the applications button in the gnome panel (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04) [03:10] hey guys [03:11] I'm trying to install ubuntu, and I could try it out on the disk just fine. So I went to install. Now I am getting a black screen, with white bars on the top half of the screen [03:12] carolinae, hmm, have you installed the nvidia graphics drivers if any? [03:12] how do i go about doing that? [03:12] should I power off the machine and try again? [03:12] helpinstall: what have you done ? [03:12] Hey guys, Im in a bit of a pickle with booting and installing via usb/cd ..so I was wondering if I could create a USB boot disc and then copy the files to that so it would boot? [03:13] well this machine had XP on it. I burned the disc and popped it in. I went to try and everything was running just fine off the disc [03:13] I could go to firefox and mess aroudn. So I said let's install from there [03:13] if a program doesn't have a download for ubuntu what should I do? [03:13] who 13 min remaining [03:13] then it went to a black screen with white bars flashing [03:13] sometimes the momintor goes off as well [03:13] kballash: what program¿ [03:13] and back on to a black screen. then the white bars pop up [03:14] kballash, what about one for debian? [03:14] xangua: google sketchup [03:14] kballash: compile from source? [03:14] kballash: there is no google sketchup for linux [03:14] i have no clue if this is even installing anymore. not suer what would happen if i power down [03:14] you might try running it in Wine [03:14] what's better...gnome or kde?? [03:14] hehe so its hehr now [03:14] mpa, yes [03:14] any programs that do similar for linux?

I've updated my system to the latest Kernel, Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.34 but every once in awhile the update manager says I need to update to kernel 2.6.32, how do I add the right ppa and disable the wrong ppa, so that it only updates to the newest possible kernel? [03:15] kballash: what program? link [03:16] kballash: nevermind, saw it [03:16] are ubuntu and kubuntu the same except for the ui? [03:16] hehe so its hehr now [03:16] Marcus_: what ppa did you add¿ [03:16] mpadair00: different DE: gnome v KDE [03:17] Marcus_: ppa for kernel? why? [03:17] that's what i meant...are they the same except for the DE? [03:17] hey i got a problem w/ ubuntu [03:17] PerryArmstrong: i think you need PowerISO - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-open-daa-direct-access-archive-files-under-linux-or-unix-oses/ [03:17] Marcus_: you will revieve ubuntu security updates but your OS will use the latest you have installed [03:17] xangua: I haven't added any, except the ppa:edgers, but I haven't added anything for the latest kernel, I built the 2.6.34 one myself, but I want it to update automatically. [03:17] mpadair00: same "base", different UI and applications [03:17] !details | MikePikachu [03:17] MikePikachu: Please give us full details.

[03:20] xangua: is there any harm in updating the standard one? [03:20] zebulon_: that's why i said 'under your own risk' [03:20] sure, but where are they set if not in /etc/fstab? [03:20] how do i get partimage to ingore read erroros [03:20] who 13 min remaining [03:21] hey [03:21] guampa: good question indeed. I imagine some udev magic [03:21] Marcus_: i am currently using it with no problems; if you have problems you can boot with a previous kernel and uninstall the ppa with ppa-purge, do you know how to use ppa-purge¿ [03:21] xangua: No, I know how to purge an apt install, but how do I purge a ppa? [03:22] Marcus_: you first need to get ppa-purge, but is not in lucid repositry :( it will be in maverick's :D [03:22] bsmith093: you can't ignore them, either your partition table is messed up or you have a hardware issue [03:22] who so many floods [03:22] zebulon_, yes i already have the nvidia drivers for ubuntu installed and active. [03:23] xangua: got it. [03:23] zebulon_, i've checked the options in the driver settings, it has an option for multiple monitors but it doesn't detect the one that's plugged in. [03:23] Marcus_: this is a deb from the latest ppa-purge https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/webupd8/+files/ppa-purge_0.2.7-1~webupd8~lucid_all.deb and you ise it like this: sudo ppa-purge 'ppa's name' [03:23] xangua: The only thing that worries me about adding this new ppa, is that I use the linux radeon hd 4600 drivers from ati, as the edgers don't recognize my card. [03:23] carolinae: did you hit the laptop key to switch monitors? [03:23] if i want to upgrade my kernel from this site: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-maverick/ what are that parts that i should download and install? [03:24] hello all [03:24] Marcus_: for addint the extra ppa would be> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guido-iodice/best-intel ; and to remove it > sudo ppa-purge ppa:guido-iodice/best-intel [03:24] Muelli: i imagine it's that too. i found a great article on http://superuser.com/questions/53978/ubuntu-automatically-mount-external-drives-to-media-label-on-boot-without-a-us that is somewhat related, but just started to search [03:24] JoeMaverickSett: join #ubuntu+1 [03:24] What command for apt gives me a short description of what a package is? [03:24] i'm a linux noob [03:24] ilovefairuz, alright. thanks. [03:24] howdy [03:24] Marcus_: do you use the open souce drivers¿ [03:24] guampa: what is your problem anyway? [03:25] xangua: thanks, will it work with my radeon hd 4600? [03:25] !hi | dos000 [03:25] dos000: 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! [03:25] also a recursive grep on the flags in /etc/* lists nada :( [03:25] xangua: I tried, but they didn't take, so I ended up using the linux hd radeon drivers from ati. [03:25] Marcus_: well the ppa is also for better raedon and intell performance, i have an intel and it really has major performance [03:25] hi i am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 but my keyboard and mouse freeze.i am usin Pentium D 2.9GHz with intel motherboard, 2GB RAM and Geforce 9500GT 1GB graphics card.please help. [03:25] is there a theme that has dark windows for developpers specially ? the white is getting on my eyes [03:25] kisplit: apt-cache show $package [03:25] I have a little problem with rhythmbox. Every time it loads it dialogs me to search for a suitable plug-in. Search shows what is missing is id3 tag demuxer, which I know about and don't care about. Is there a way to disable the dialog each and every time I launch? It's annoying. [03:26] you mean fglrx Marcus_ ¿¿ [03:26] Muelli: Thanks a lot =] [03:26] timh____: hm. dunno but sounds like a bug, because the dialog should offer you a "don't bug me anymore" button or so. [03:26] xangua: if I use fglrx uninstall.sh then install the newest ppa, that should do it? [03:26] dos000you will find a lot of themes in http://gnome-look.org/ [03:27] Muelli: i'm backing up the whole vfs with backintime, and have it set to save xattrs (haven't found how to make it save acls too), and it fails with Error: rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_set_file: operation not supported [03:27] how do i set the default bacground anyway for all the applications from white to something else ? [03:27] guampa: I see. [03:27] Marcus_: the ppa says you should add other ppa to make it work with fglrx, wich is: ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [03:27] dos000, google "gnome themes" you'll find a lot, gnome-files.org, deviantart.com, and some others [03:27] xangua: and all the things in between I meant, as a no-brainer, add the ppa, sudo apt-update sudo upgrade, grub-update, etc. [03:28] ilovefairuz, i did . i got good themes. except the default backgound is always white [03:28] well just update>upgrade and restart [03:28] xangua: ok. <-- newb [03:28] guampa: hm. as I've said, either hardcode in /etc/fstab, remount your drive or search for some udev magic, i.e. in /usr/lib/udev. But you seem to be on your way anyway :-) [03:28] ilovefairuz, i dont mean the desktop bakgrd [03:28] dos000: some themes supports color modification in the appearance dialog [03:29] ok so thahs one [03:29] dos000: there' [03:29] xangua: so for the ppa you just mentioned I need to add both, guido and this one? [03:29] dos000: there's a tab for that [03:29] Marcus_: then sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guido-iodice/best-intel && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [03:29] Marcus_: yes, then update and upgrade [03:29] Muelli: anyway, i'll edit the fstab and use the uuid but i'm left kinda ¬¬ [03:29] ilovefairuz, ti did not see the customize button in lucid ! [03:30] xangua: thanks. [03:30] dos000_: there you go! [03:30] Marcus_: and remember to also install ppa-purge to uninstall the ppa if there is a problem https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/webupd8/+files/ppa-purge_0.2.7-1~webupd8~lucid_all.deb [03:30] xangua: I love playing with my system. [03:30] thanks a lot guys [03:31] xangua: already did. [03:31] Is it just ubuntu that uses apt or is it debian too? [03:31] xangua: If I want to go back to the open source, so I can test out the new radeon open source should I just use fglrx uninstall and thats it? Or is there somehting else? [03:31] kisplit: debian, too, because Ubuntu is based on Debian [03:31] Muelli: Thanks again [03:32] guampa: Have you checked /lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules? [03:32] !debian | kisplit [03:32] kisplit: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [03:32] Marcus_: not really sure about that [03:32] Hi, help I've just updated karmic, reset, and now my mouse pointer is invisible! Anything I can do to bring it back this is annoying lol :) [03:33] ati drivers say to revert, just do the fglrx uninstall. But I'm wondering if thats enough, do the open source drivers need to make sure xorg.conf is setup in some way??? [03:33] do networks run on a "IPv6" im looking for networking help channel to sit in and learn [03:33] i saw that name up..but wasnt sure (noob sorry) [03:33] xangua: ati drivers say to revert, just do the fglrx uninstall. But I'm wondering if thats enough, do the open source drivers need to make sure xorg.conf is setup in some way??? [03:34] question: I have 4 hard drives in my ubuntu server. 1 as the os, the other 3 are just ext4 file system now, mounted and all. but is it possible that I can dedicate each one of those drives to a program, say drive 2 - ftp, drive 3 = sql, drive 4 = www ? [03:34] J4Y not usually. you have to specially setup an IPV6 connection to the net [03:34] Marcus_: well i don't have a customized xorg, do you¿¿ [03:34] xorg.file* [03:34] (ty zeb again :) ) [03:34] xangua: no my old xorg.conf is blank, I was wondering if that was normal? [03:34] DigitalDeviant: yes [03:35] Marcus_: since ubuntu 9.10 is normal; it's created everytime you boot [03:35] Muelli: looks like a good place to plug the "udev magic" [03:35] xangua: that puts my mind at ease. Thought it was bad. [03:35] ive only been working on linux for like a month so i know enough to screw things up. Im just looking for someone to do like a goto meeting with me while im in my shell and direct me on what to do, but i cant find anyone to help me and everything i have read to make it happen makes things worse [03:35] xangua: ok, off to blow up my machine. Thanks a ton. [03:36] DigitalDeviant: not unless you install them so [03:36] i always get permissions errors and all kinds of other things [03:36] J4Y: http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2007/03/IPv6.ars [03:36] My sound does not work, how can i trouble shoot it? [03:36] zebulon_, don't know that my laptop has such a button.. or is that an ubuntu thing? can't find what you're talking about, in any case. [03:37] DigitalDeviant: "dedicate" it in what sense? just host the files? or attached to a virtual machine ? [03:37] Karen_mm: any particullar applitation or no sound at all¿ [03:38] carolinae: the inspiron 8600 user guide says you push fn and f8 to switch monitors [03:38] hi [03:38] le [03:38] not sure: i just want each drive to host the services i a running, sql, ftp, www [03:38] zebulon_, thanks i'll check it [03:39] i am running on ubuntu as admin..should i turn off this feature? Is it a security hazard? [03:39] digitalDeviant: each server has a config file. Each config file specifies a "DocumentRoot" or other general location to store files [03:39] xangua, , when i watch videos in chromium, the sound comes out but it comes all static sounding like in a loop [03:39] J4Y: admin as an user with administration privileges or as root¿¿ [03:40] doesn't matter which video [03:40] J4Y: you are running as root? [03:40] let me check, one second please and thank you [03:40] xangua: AS ROOT SURELY [03:40] Karen_mm: flash videos¿ [03:40] under user settings, i am logged in as admin [03:41] DigitalDeviant: the "service" could mean a number of things, if the computer is powerful enough, it could host several "virtual machines" each attached to a certain harddisk and concerned with serving a certain purpose, or you could just squash it all together and just host the services data on different drives [03:41] zebulon_, Ah, I'll have to try that next time i reboot (it's running windows at the moment, for use with the monitor). But I somewhat doubt if it will work, since I've found that most Fn+? combinations don't work under Ubuntu. [03:41] same in terminal? [03:41] (i set this setting because i thought the password requirement wouldnt come up everytime i installed new software) [03:41] zebulon_, but i am getting an error while trying to extract the .daa file [03:41] J4Y: if the command "whoami" doesn't output "root", it's all good [03:41] (checking....) [03:41] perryarmstrong: is the file corrupted? [03:42] zebulon_, nope [03:42] okay, it gave my account name and not root...thank you guampa and others [03:42] I've done a good amount of C++ programming. I'm starting a java course at the end of this month. Should I be using the jdk from su... oracle or is it ok to go ahead and install the openjdk? [03:42] no problem J4Y [03:42] zebulon_, Also, it concerns me that the nvidia graphics card settings dialog (with the proprietary drivers in use) cannot detect the external monitor. I would like to be able to troubleshoot that problem. [03:43] kisplit: openjdk is from sun/oracle [03:43] tensorpudding: Interesting, I didn't know this.

[03:53] Random832: Thanks :) I'll try it then [03:53] Artel: there's no key to do it? [03:54] Well, if I press the key to go back to normal mode, it just goes back to full screen [03:54] it's as if it's "stuck" on full screen mode. [03:54] you sure you're not hitting the key twice? [03:54] no scarib dont [03:54] I hit it once, and it becomes permanently stuck on full screen on my smaller monitor. on the bigger monitor there's no problem [03:55] speaking of sound any body know how to get jackd working with an mp3 player? or anything for that mater. I can only get realtime working if I start qjackdctl as root [03:55] Nevermind. found a solution for that on google. [03:56] Alright, last thing.

[04:06] I enabled notification and it told me that the network was not connected. I connected it and now I have internet connection [04:06] thanks xnagua [04:08] hi there, i am using GNS 3. and i am using idlepc so that it does not use up too much resources in my ubuntu, so i am looking at the system monitor and inoticed taht i have 2 CPUs. may i ask why that is the case? [04:08] Zeu5: dual core [04:08] i see [04:08] they're very common now what kind of cpu do you have [04:09] Zeu5: dual core means there's actually two cpu's on the one chip [04:09] mmy cpu 1 us always ard 30 -50 plus while cpu 2 is always 20-40 plus [04:09] well, they share L2 cache [04:09] somethinginteres: i am using intel pentium dual core T2370 1.73 Ghz 533Mhz running on 3 Gb RAM [04:10] anyway the two cores show up as two cpus to any monitoring tools [04:10] I just got some updates ( ubuntu 10) and now I can't scan ( and my PC is locking up on going to sleep but the scanner is worse now - I can see the USB scanner in sane-find-scanner [04:10] Random832: so is my cpu usage normal? [04:11] but no front end sees it - scanimage -L or xsane or anything - all say no device found [04:11] i am currently running jus chrome and gns3 and chatzilla [04:11] not sure what I'm missing now .... [04:11] who knows [04:12] "chrome" covers a lot of ground - just static webpage, or a lot of stuff with flash [even ads]? [04:12] and no idea about chatzilla - mozilla stuff can be a hog sometimes [04:12] what is gns3? [04:12] what processes are taking up the cpu? [04:12] Random832: i see. [04:12] oh gns3 is an emulator for cisco routers. i am now taking a ccna course.. [04:13] gns3 is also a resource hogger [04:13] an emulator? [04:13] emulation can be intensive if there's not a huge disparity in the power of the machine being emulated vs the one running it [04:13] so i am doing my best to improve performance [04:13] Random832: yes i know.. wich is why i am runnning system monitor at same time :) [04:14] well, what does your monitoring thing say about what processes are taking up the cpu [04:15] Random832: hmm hang on let me check [04:16] ____________________________ [04:16] < Ubuntu sucks, deal with it > [04:16] ---------------------------- [04:16] \ _ [04:16] \ (_) [04:16] shadertest: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

(sort by cpu % if you have to) [04:17] Random832: gnome-system monitor 18% ~ 30 % [04:17] emm, was just about asking how to configure "udisks" mount options when i saw shadertest's msg , lol [04:17] Random832: chrome is 4~10% [04:18] Random832: the rest are even more insignificant :) [04:18] anyone knows how to set "udisks" mount options? [04:18] wait for it to settle down, even simple apps will jump up right after you do something with them [04:18] Random832: so i think i am good right? [04:18] and you said you had 30% on one cpu and 50% on the other something's not ading up [04:18] Anyone here using ipv6 w/ ubuntu? [04:19] I'm having issues with Network Manager not connecting to my wireless if in network manager i change to to do 'Automatic' on IPv6 instead of 'Ignore' [04:21] Random832: is that cause for concern? [04:21] Zeu5: i'm just confused where the 30% and 50% you said was coming from [04:21] the percentages of individual processes should add up to the total [04:21] it sounds like you're fine [04:22] Random832: oh that was when i turned on my gns3.. haha. ijust turned it off hence doesnt add up. my question is it is okay that 1 cpu is higher than the other right? [04:22] yeah that's fine [04:22] Random832: cool :) thanks!~~~ [04:22] Random832: bye bye.my class is restarting [04:22] probably gns3 was doing 50% and everything piled together on the other core was 30% [04:23] would be my guess [04:23] Random832: i guess so.

[05:03] josue: Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es [05:03] " [05:04] bowei006: to host a site to be exposed on the internet? you need a web server for that not an ftp server [05:04] is there an indepth article on how to setup ubuntu on Dual boot setting? [05:04] bowei006: there are some very simple to use web servers like lighttpd [05:04] ...really well mac and iweb said only a ftp server is needed [05:04] bowei006: what are you reading from? link [05:05] yes, you upload to ftp. and then the web server serves to customers [05:05] ill take a screenshot or find the apple link [05:05] zebulon_: ftp is very insecure and rather discouraged, ssh provides a better and secure file handling [05:05] http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/ [05:06] it says publish to ftp. i have no idea how this works but im just goiing along with it. do i also need a web server for this? [05:06] mattail: you should be given the option to load ubuntu onto your 2nd hard drive. Once installed, grub will take over as the bootloader and ask which OS to load at startup [05:06] yes bowie [05:06] there are free web hosting places online [05:06] doctorZeus, where is that option, I'm not seeing it [05:07] you are right ilovefairuz, but not everywhere provides scp or sftp access. [05:07] It's been a while since I've been at that screen but it should be where you're seeing the hard drive and partition information.. if you're not seeing the 2nd hard drive on that screen then ubuntu isn't seeing the drive at all [05:08] is it a new drive or recent swap? May want to check cables and such [05:08] hello, i lost my volume control applet, iv reloaded alsamix etc.. that dint work. im on Lucid.. [05:08] ratdog: add indicator applet to the panel [05:08] its not in the panel applet list [05:09] anymore [05:09] bowei006: it mentions ftp as just one supported way to get your files to a web server, you need to either a) buy a web hosting + domain name package and it will provide you with username and password to upload your files or b) set up your own web server + dns (using lighttpd for example) and buy a domain to point to it [05:09] doctorZeus, I get several options and Ubuntu is seeing the HD, but if I select the option to dual boot with the detected XP then I only get a slider to choose how to rezie the partition. If I manually setup the partitions I get no further hints about dualbooting [05:09] i installed ubuntu yesterday, it worked fine. when i came home today and opened my laptop i had to power it off and back on.. then before it did anything i had a message that said "Could not handle kernel" [05:09] bowei006: but since you're new to all this, i suggest just buying a cheap hosting + domain package [05:09] I eventually just popped the disc back in and reinstalled ubuntu [05:10] has anyone seen this before, or know what had caused it? and is there something i can do next time instead of having to reinstall everything? [05:10] ilovefairuz: i have a domain from dyndns does that count. and im not really too much a noobie. i got this working locally and i just dont get ubutnu [05:10] bowei006 I run a web design company and we use DreamHost - they're great and really cheep [05:10] zebulon_: and then someone installs a password sniffer on the ISP equipment, steals passwords and bombards the file servers with malware [05:10] matttail: try this link, this is what I used http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm [05:11] ilovefairuz: does lighttpd support mac osx? [05:11] bowei006: yeah dyndns could work but you'll still have to set up a webserver [05:11] I didn't use the live cd but it came together just fine [05:11] doctorZeus, I will read, thanks [05:11] bowei006: lighttpd will be installed on the ubuntu machine not the mac, it will be accessible using any browser just like any web page [05:11] bowei006: mac os x comes with apache web server built-in [05:11] bowei you need a web server otherwise your local web pages will not broadcast to someone not connected to you locally [05:12] bowei006: but yes lighttpd can be installed on mac too [05:12] there's tons of guides to setting up apache, lighttpd, cherokee, nginx, etc. on Ubuntu and Debian === djhash_ is now known as djhash [05:12] should i go to a differnt thread to find out how to use appache web server but wich is easier? apache or lighttpd? [05:12] probably there are online pro/con guides to choosing which one [05:12] k i get it [05:12] before you dive in, you need to properly understand what you're doing [05:12] bowei006: if you want support, apache is used by a lot more people [05:12] bowei006: lighttpd is easier, faster and more secure [05:13] lighttpd is smaller, has a simpler config, lacks a few features that apache has though [05:13] peace out. [05:13] bowei006: use apache only if you need a specific feature that it has but i doubt you'd need anything like that [05:13] ilovefairuz: thank you. i will go and do some reasearch and do some testing now. sorry for bothering you guys [05:13] cherokee's main draw is that it has a web configurator [05:13] i installed ubuntu yesterday, it worked fine. when i came home today and opened my laptop i had to power it off and back on.. then before it did anything i had a message that said "Could not handle kernel" [05:13] which makes vhosting as easy as a few clicks [05:13] bowei006: you're welcome and don't worry, if you have questions come and ask [05:14] basix-: where did you see the Could not handle kernel? [05:14] basix-: Was there any other message that came with it? [05:15] I installed tracker, does anyone know how to start it? [05:15] is there some reason why usb-creator-gtk wont use the minimal install iso? [05:15] shane2peru: doesn't it come with a GUI? check in applications [05:16] ilovefairuz, yes, but I'm not sure it is indexing yet, I think the dameon needs started??? maybe?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:16] i think i have this already setup. [05:16] shane2peru: i think the GUI shows if it's indexing or not and where to index [05:16] doctorZeus, I read the link you sent, and I guess my confusion is this: there is only one option on the installer that actually says "choosing between them (OS) at startup". If I choose the option to "Erase the entire disk" and select the 2nd HD disk I want to use will I still get to dual boot? [05:16] anyone? :\ [05:16] augur: try unetbootin ? [05:17] right now with web sharing/apache enabled i can see the web page i made but is it only locally. the adress is my local ip and then my user [05:17] please..................pretty please [05:17] ya who what? [05:17] ubiWhore, stop it [05:17] I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!! [05:17] ok ill stop [05:17] ilovefairuz: i dont follow [05:17] ilovefairuz, doesn't seem to indicate wether or not it is indexing [05:17] apt-get install cream, ubiWhore [05:17] !unetbootin | augur [05:17] augur: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:18] zebulon_: Please don't feed the trolls [05:18] zebulon_, that's enough, lets move one [05:18] ilovefairuz: i feel like you didnt actually read the question i asked.. [05:18] is there something i can put on a cd incase my ubuntu will not load that will help to fix it? === basix][ is now known as basix- [05:18] basix-: you have the Live CD? [05:19] i believe so [05:19] the ubuntu install cd has always served me well in those situations [05:19] the install disc i downloaded from ubuntu.com [05:19] matttail I pulled up the link and realized that it was catering to a single drive not your situation so yea sorry about that.. I want to say yes, I believe that is how I did it [05:19] augur: don't you want to put ubuntu iso on a usb to boot from ? [05:19] basix-: the cd you used to install ubuntu is the one that will also help you to boot and fix if you ever need to. [05:19] what do i do when i load up off the live cd to fix it? [05:19] yes, but the issue is that startup-disk-creator won't use the iso i have [05:19] loading onto the 2nd hard drive will not erase the boot information on the other; grub will ask you which to boot [05:19] itll use a normal iso, but not the minimal iso [05:20] basix-: all depends on the problem [05:20] augur: there's a DIFFERENT application called unetbootin, look it up [05:20] k [05:20] IdleOne, it told me that it could not handle the kernel [05:20] doctorZeus, ok I will try. Thanks for the help, and I hope you're right. :) [05:20] have you heard of that before? [05:21] aha i see, ilovefairuz. i will try this, thank you. [05:21] basix-: provide more details to the channel and someone who knows more then me will help I'm sure [05:21] augur: The Desktop CD is a LiveCD, the alternate/minimal CD is just an installer, it uses a different system (debian-installer instead of a casper image) to boot, etc, etc [05:21] i'm just a little paranoid because i installed linux the other day and had to reinstall it already [05:21] well those are the details i have [05:21] matttail: you get what you pay for!! :) Seriously, grub is really good. Over the years I've yet to blow away a windows install after many linux dual boot installs (opposed to windows blowing away many linux installs) [05:22] maybe next time i get an error i'll boot from the cd and come ask you guys here ;) [05:22] basix-: write the error down [05:22] k [05:22] it's fixed now, but next time i will thx [05:22] doctorZeus: only because microsoft chooses to deliberately ignore any other OS [05:23] doctorZeus, yeah - I've used several flavors of linux before but have always fallen back to windows becuase of a need for Adobe's Photoshop - but I read that wine can now handle it so I'm trying things out again. [05:23] matttail: you can run windows inside a virtual machine like virtualbox and share files back and forth [05:24] is ubuntu a very stable os? [05:24] matttail I started using vmware for the few windows necessities, much preferred to wine or dual booting [05:24] the only thing vm can't do is decent FPS for gaming [05:24] basix-: ultimately depends on what kind of hardware you have, if the hardware is well supported, then yes [05:24] k [05:25] Ubuntu is stable. [05:25] rock-solid basix, i go months between reboots [05:25] keep in mind that vendors barely develop drivers for gnu/linux in general [05:25] It's not the most stable, but it provides enough stability. [05:25] tensorpudding, ubuntu just works, thats what i tell most people. [05:25] hi, I have a tar ball that was saved with absolute path (-P), how can I extract it relative to current path? [05:25] doctorZeus I will consider VMware. Right now I'm dual booting while I check out the new Ubuntu [05:26] i just come to know that grub2 menu show is enable by default in multi os system. so now i hidden that menu by following instruction on grub2 page. but i want to know that this just hides the menu from user OR it really dont show that menu? becuaes in first case it will need the same time as previous to boot but in second case it will boot fast [05:26] basix, define stable. :) [05:27] qfluid, try cd'ing into the directory and try tar -xvf {filename} [05:27] lol [05:27] sudo apt-get insatll jizz-pie [05:27] well just 10 mins ago it froze!

If you've bumped the MTU up to 1500, then it's an issue with name lookups (DNS) [07:22] YankDownUnder hmm what can i look at or tweak for my dns settings? [07:23] asoltys, Um...edit your connection...add a direct DNS server for your IPv4 settings - and set your IPv6 to "Ignore" [07:23] it is normal that the fsck is slower on ext3 than on ext4?

Is that normal and will it decompress correctly? [07:33] YankDownUnder: I commented GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET but no luck. Is there something else i should be doing?

[07:48] BentFran`, I think gparted can resize partitions if they're not mounted. Try booting into the 10.04 livecd or a helix livecd and running gparted. [07:48] trouble, you dont. check the grub2 wiki [07:48] its has been running fine for months [07:48] BentFran`, if it doesn't resize the way you want, I'm not sure if you have to start over. Possibly. :[ [07:48] YankDownUnder: ohzie: gparted is the partition manager on the LiveCD/installer?

[08:15] if i would like help develope a new keyboard layout 2 ubuntu for my language, where should I do it? :D :D ;D [08:16] Yankdownunder, I don't know. It COULD be the fact that it's an EEE PC [08:16] hidnshadows, nah - they're all good generally with Ubu...it's something else... [08:16] augur when able to control this machine check mount...all mounting should point to one sda device...if not the second partition is mounted somehow.. [08:16] Yankdownunder how would I be able to check the problem log? [08:17] hidnshadows, Checking something now mate...hang on... [08:18] hidnshadows, If you go to System / Administration / Logfile Viewer - you should be able to dig through the logs and find something that points to the system shutting down/restarting....

Last time I used it, on windows, it was just a play button. [08:26] can anyone tell me how to specify modules explicitly in grub???? My grub was installed in /dev/sda and now i m trying to installed it in Ubuntu partition /dev/sda3. Can any one help in this matter? [08:26] this is ridiculous [08:27] hi all [08:27] ethanp hello there [08:28] I'm using lubuntu from a live-cd [08:29] is everyone here from all over the world? [08:29] ethanp I'm from Kansas in the states, but if you want to talk about that, please use the off-topic board [08:30] AMAN_1987: if you are using grub2 edit the /etc/defGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" line, you can specify modules there; don't forget to run update-grub after saving the fileault/grub file, look for the [08:30] ethanp: yes, this channel #ubuntu is for support discussion but if you feel like just chatting there is #ubuntu-offtopic you can join to "chit chat" if you like [08:30] oh I am sorry [08:30] AMAN_1987: you don't specify modules in grub; are you just trying to install grub on another partition? [08:30] ethanp: no worries, you're new. [08:30] AMAN_1987: in case you're using grub legacy, add the module lines to your kernel /boot line. [08:31] #ubuntu-offtopic [08:31] ethanp: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic [08:31] thank you [08:31] welcome :) [08:32] AMAN_1987: Sorry I just read what I typed earlier, edit your /etc/default/grub file; search for the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" line and add your module lines there. [08:33] Allright thanks to everyone who helps others [08:33] I'm gonna go to bed. Night [08:33] is the nouveau driver (open sourece reverse engineered POS) driver in karmic koala? [08:33] does /anyone/ here know how to put grub in the mbr of a machine? [08:33] surely there is some way to force this to happen [08:34] is the nouveau driver (open sourece reverse engineered POS) driver in karmic koala? [08:35] Alazare: I don't think so [08:35] jasonwryan, darolu, actually i have xp on sda1, rhel5 on sda2 and ubuntu on sda3. And i just want to use chainload in RHEL's grub 0.97. RHEL's grub is in /dev/sda and thats why i was trying to install grub2 of ubuntu in /dev/sda3 but it says "Auto-detection of the filesystem module failed. Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly." [08:36] guess not [08:37] AMAN_1987: you don't need to install grub to sda3 if you are chainloading... [08:37] time to give karmic a shot [08:37] jasonwryan, but grub 0.97 doesn't support ext4 filesystem. [08:38] Alazare, I've had great luck with lucid on my desktop. Not so much no my server. [08:38] hey [08:38] bonjour j'ai besoin de lancé un serveur open-ssh suplémentaire avec un fichier de conf diferent ou modifier pour lancé 2 serveur au lieux de 1 /etc/init.d/ssh ? [08:38] ubottu: fr | ad_ [08:38] ad_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [08:38] Alazare, so I have Karmik on the server atm. [08:38] how do i find the mbr on a machine [08:38] long story shot i cant get the nouveau driver to remove it wont let me install nvidia's drivers at all [08:38] hows that? does anyone know how to do that? [08:38] thus i cant game [08:38] I can't read some folders from my Mac OS X partition. I've already set them to o+rx but I can't access them without being root [08:38] ill have 1min smoothe 15 seconds 1fps... [08:38] rinse repeat [08:38] AMAN_1987: Ah: there's the rub... Now I see your dilema [08:39] ad_: you probably want the -f switch to sshd somewhere, though. [08:39] ls -lha for the folder: drwxr--r-x 1 501 dialout 13 2010-05-19 09:02 Music [08:39] jasonwryan, hehe.....finally you got my problem....:) [08:39] shouldn't that let me access them? [08:40] rww, yes thanks [08:41] should I add a 32 big repo for installing 32 big dependencies (on a 64 bit install) [08:41] bit [08:41] .. [08:41] tuxsbro_: you can't. [08:41] AMAN_1987: upgrading RHEL to grub 2 not an option? [08:41] can anyone help me remove neauva driver in ubuntu 10.04? [08:41] hay. I got a problem with my grub2 (I activated my windows partition and now It only boots up to grub-rescue). I followed this guide http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide but I can't do the command sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc. the terminal tells me that there is no such directory or file [08:41] tuxsbro_: nope. Ubuntu's package manager doesn't support mixing multiple architectures like that [08:42] whats the best way to get 32 big dependencies then? [08:42] bit [08:42] jasonwryan, i tried but no its not possible then someone got me remembered about chainloading thats why i was trying it....Can you jsut tell me how can i specify modules in grub while installing??? [08:43] hey [08:43] I can't read some folders from my Mac OS X partition. I've already set them to o+rx but I can't access them without being root [08:44] ls -lha for the folder: drwxr--r-x 1 501 dialout 13 2010-05-19 09:02 Music. shouldn't that be enough for me to access them? [08:44] tuxsbro_: perhaps you mean "dependencies" in a different way from me, but all packages in the 64-bit repository depend on other 64-bit packages. the vast, vast majority of the Ubuntu archive is built for both 64-bit and 32-bit. [08:45] I am trying to run a 32 bit binary and it is telling me it cannot open a shared object [08:46] tuxsbro_: then download a 64-bit binary [08:47] tuxsbro_: what are you trying to run and how was it installed [08:47] AMAN_1987: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Chain_002dloading [08:47] hi [08:47] it is N http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n_downloads.html [08:47] its a binary blob [08:47] AMAN_1987: insmod {module} should work... [08:48] when installing the new lucid the installer freezes on step4 when building the file system ex4 ?? the iso file is okay i used md5 [08:48] tuxsbro_: ok, the chances are then, it's pre-linked to 32bit libraries in specific places, that are not on your 64bit system [08:48] jasonwryan, thanks bro......:) [08:49] when installing the new lucid the installer freezes at 5% when building the file system ex4 ?? the iso file is okay i used md5 [08:49] jasonwryan, i m trying, if i am successfull in that then will notify you....:) [08:49] AMAN_1987: hopefully, it will work. Cool [08:49] :) [08:50] tuxsbro_: try sudo apt-get ia32-libs [08:50] mikeru: you could take a shot and assign a group to those hard-to-access directories then match that # to a group your user has [08:50] mikeru: already got it [08:50] mikeru, hi there [08:51] rdw200169, they're different partitions... Mac OS X & ubuntu [08:51] mikeru: nevermind. [08:51] hi, i installed compiz. but how do i start it? [08:51] seglem: compiz is already installed on ubuntu [08:51] seglem: compiz --replace [08:52] seglem: how did you install compiz when it's already installed ? [08:52] seglem: it is indeed already installed in ubuntu [08:52] ikonia: maybe -but very very unlikely - (s)he's using some very old version of ubuntu [08:52] mikeru: lets find out [08:53] compiz --replace doesn't work [08:53] ! work | seglem [08:53] seglem: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [08:53] seglem: how did you install compiz when compiz is already installed [08:53] seglem: maybe you're already running it, yet you don't know [08:53] hahahaa i love that work trigger [08:54] ok, maybe it's already running... how ti configure then? [08:54] seglem: how did you install compiz when compiz is already installed [08:54] ! ccsm | seglem [08:54] seglem: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [08:54] ikonia, can you help me please ? seglem: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [08:54] ibrahim-kasem: you need to ask a question then [08:54] heh [08:54] ibrahim-kasem, what was that? and hi [08:55] got it working but - WTF its just a flash game [08:55] tuxsbro_, wasn't it a kernel module? [08:55] tuxsbro_: please control your language, "wtf" is not acceptable, we know what it means, so please don't use it [08:55] ikonia, I am trying to install 10.04 amd64 desktop on my laptop but the installer freezes on 5% when building the ex4 file system [08:56] ibrahim-kasem, try waiting more time :) [08:56] ibrahim-kasem: how long has it froze for ? [08:56] Anyone here have SC2? [08:56] Raptors: sc2 ? [08:56] mikeru, I am waiting but it freezes completely :( [08:57] ibrahim-kasem: does the mouse move ? [08:57] ikonia, no the mouse stops also [08:57] I'm trying to figure out how to use the guess pass. [08:57] ibrahim-kasem: ok, so that sounds like a hard lock [08:57] Raptors: what is sc2 ? [08:57] ikepanhc, starcraft 2 [08:57] game [08:57] When I connect it says there isn't a a copy of the game associated with the account [08:57] ibrahim-kasem: the most likley cause for hard lockups is either a.) hardware problem b.) incompatible hardware with ubuntu [08:57] ikonia, i can install 9.10 simply not any issue also I made sure that iso file is okay using md5 [08:57] Raptors: ok, that's nothing to do with ubuntu [08:58] Raptors: try /join #wine [08:58] no [08:58] #winehq [08:58] ok i just needed to install the compiz manager. problem solved. thx [08:58] seglem: how did you install compiz when compiz is already installed [08:59] ibrahim-kasem: while being able to install 9.10 is useful, it doesn't rule out a hardware or hardware compatibliliity issue [08:59] Hey I've always installed ubuntu for the entire disk on my previous computers, but now I've bought a new laptop, and I want to install it side by side with windows, but that option has dissapeared from the install options? [08:59] ibrahim-kasem: at the same time a hard lock can be caused be something as easy as overclocking/over heating [08:59] I can only do an entire install or a manually select partition install =o [09:00] i thought i installed it, but of course it has been there all the time [09:00] Kruptein: sounds like you need the manually select partition option... [09:00] ikonia: He probably meant he discovered compiz, which was already installed ;) [09:01] soreau: you*re right ;-) [09:01] jasonwryan, yes okay but if I do that, and don't change anything and press next it gives me an error that I didn't select a base partiton and I can't select it anywhere [09:01] I am trying to use ubuntu-desktop 10.04 on some sort of Hasee box that has a 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [09:01] Kruptein: have you created a partition to install in on (beside windoze)? [09:02] The when in lubuntu it is fine but if I use gnome it freezes after 10 to 30 seconds [09:02] ikonia, I will try installing using a usb flash disc I hope it works. [09:02] Is there a fix for this yet? [09:02] jasonwryan do you have to do that first if you select specify partition manually? [09:02] jasonwryan, is there any command to check filesystem of the current system?? [09:02] ibrahim-kasem: be interested if it does, I don't think it will though to be honest [09:03] Kruptein: if the only partition on the drive has windoze on it, yes [09:03] ikonia, really strange :( [09:03] ikonia, thnx anyway . [09:03] AMAN_1987: fdisk -l [09:05] jasonwryan, it doen't show the filesystem but i get info by checking the partition properties...:) [09:06] hey guys, i have ubuntu 10.04 installed and its ive configured it to my needs, is there a way to make this my install all the time? [09:06] how can I know if ubuntu is recognizing my IR receiver? [09:06] i mean is there a way to back this up so i can restore it on any pc without the need to reinstall from the strat and configure everything all over again [09:07] start* [09:07] hello [09:07] woah I think there is something called oneConf although that still is in development [09:07] woah, if you have a seperate home partition you can back that up to restore your settings [09:07] AMAN_1987: my bad - that would be mount :) [09:08] i'm looking some tool to make a flashdrive multiboot [09:08] anyone available to answer a noob ssh question for me? [09:08] trijntje, its not [09:08] jasonwryan, yeah it happens sometimes....:) but you stil a PRO....:) [09:08] kruhft, any other way? [09:08] jasonwryan, the installer disk says there are 4 OS's [09:08] i fonund multibootisos but for windows [09:09] although I did a fresh install of windows on a new laptop :o [09:09] and why is the 'side by side' install option gone [09:09] jasonwryan, ok buddy i m going for reboot.....bbye...:) [09:09] cya later [09:11] What is the most likely cause for gnome to freeze in 10.04 with 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)? [09:11] cambosandman: possibly compiz [09:12] is compiz enabled by default? [09:12] rww: Howdy! [09:12] cambosandman, it is, I believe... [09:12] cambosandman: depends on your hardware. possibly, it thinks it should and your hardware doesn't support it [09:13] cambosandman, why don't you pastebin your /var/log/syslog ? [09:13] bilalakhtar: g'day [09:13] lxde works fine [09:13] lxde, I'd imagine, doesn't use compositing by default [09:14] mikeru, is syslog.1 my last log? [09:14] cambosandman, syslog [09:14] it includes other boots, not only the current one [09:14] Where are my fonts and are they used system wide, I have different fonts in gimp on my desktop than on my laptop yet both Lucid? [09:15] Toxicsg: Did you explicitly install any fonts? [09:15] No [09:15] Toxicsg, verify if System -> Appearance » Fonts match [09:16] hello all [09:16] guzu, hello [09:16] hi. I'm still trying to reinstall grub with ubuntu.com wiki, but the command sudo update-grub2 does not automatically detect my devices but gives me the error that cannot find a device for / [09:17] can i run http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso on x86_64 intel?

[09:17] the reason it says amd64 is because AMD invented the technology, and Intel later licensed it [09:17] mikeru, thank you [09:17] ok then :) [09:18] mikeru the fonts do match in system/apperance/fonts [09:18] Toxicsg, GIMP is weird then. === cesar_ is now known as Guest41011 [09:19] does ubuntu come with a graphical firewall program to drop incoming packets from an IP?

[09:22] cambosandman, the kernel seems to not have logged anything. I'd say it's a hard lock, fault of the graphics card. (as suggested before) [09:22] shiftingcontrol, run top from terminal [09:22] : ) [09:22] what is nvm? mikeru [09:22] cambosandman, nevermind [09:23] ok [09:23] hello is there a command to get a list of all installed packages on my system ?

[09:29] Need help partitioning my HDD. have 120GB free space and 20GB xubuntu which I want to be the same partition. If I mount root on both do they become the same? [09:30] Fresh install from 10.04 DVD [09:31] domedagen, no they don't [09:31] domedagen, you're going to have to grow the size of the xubuntu to fill the free space [09:32] I can't be very specific in text .. maybe someone better at describing stuff can :P [09:32] hannes815: Follow http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide and make sure that you mount the correct partition to /mnt. [09:32] No I meant that I want to replace xubuntu with Ubuntu [09:33] domedagen, then I have no idea what you meant, try restating? [09:33] Hello,why do Ubuntu block wine,it says the exe file I am trying to open is not marked as executable -( [09:33] hello,is it possible to install xubuntu on disc ? with out live-cd,I'm now pretend a live-cd on disc using grub4dos. [09:33] knightstalker, it's not a problem with ubuntu [09:33] knightstalker, it's an easily fixed problem with the file [09:33] blendmaster1024,and how to fix? [09:33] knightstalker, Right click it, Properties, Permissions, Check Execute [09:34] I believe... [09:34] okay,thanks [09:34] blendmaster1024: I'm in the installer and need to setup the partition step 4 of7 [09:34] domedagen, ahh [09:34] domedagen, and you're installing plain ubuntu? [09:34] mikeru,its correct,Thanks [09:34] Can I download more fonts? [09:34] blendmaster1024: plain ubuntu? [09:34] still getting the mouse/keyboard freeze in gnome in 10.04 with compize removed :( [09:35] domedagen, as in, just ubuntu, not xubuntu or kubuntu or other [09:35] GNOME Ubuntu yes [09:36] Is ubuntu or Ubuntu? Logo says ubuntu but the text says Ubuntu [09:36] domedagen, right. so is the free space right next to the xubuntu on your harddrive? [09:37] so guys, is there a way to make an image of my ubuntu install after i configured it so if want to reinstall it i would just use that image? [09:37] Yes [09:37] domedagen, and do you want to keep any data from xubuntu? [09:37] blendmaster1024: No [09:37] domedagen, and just for future reference, you *do* know that you don't need to reinstall to get a different version of ubuntu, right? [09:38] they can be converted easily, for instance I just got done turning my ubuntu into lubuntu [09:38] blendmaster1024: No I didn't but this is a new version also [09:38] my system wants manual checking of the file system. when I use umount, it says the device is busy? how must I go about it? [09:38] hmm whats lubuntu? [09:38] it seems Banshee is getting to be the haWt #1 choice defacto for doing music with. [09:38] this despite the mono debacle [09:38] domedagen, anyway, delete the xubuntu partition, and then create a new partition that takes the entire space [09:39] woah, it's based on lxde, very lightweight, even more than xubuntu [09:39] nice thing about it is that I can actually use my dying laptop :P === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:39] any one there for help [09:39] blendmaster1024: It's not that simple. I also have an storage partition which I haven't mentioned yet. I don't wqant to erase it [09:39] I have exported openssh keys from putty however my gnome keyring says they have an invalid file format, any idea why, would the extension I gave em matter ? [09:40] domedagen, then don't delete it? [09:40] !ask | danish1162 [09:40] danish1162: 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. :-) [09:40] blendmaster1024: 3 partition needs to be one but I want to keep the fourth [09:41] domedagen, ok ... so delete #3 and make a new partition [09:41] what are you going on about? o.O [09:41] oh! do you not know about the manual partition editor? [09:41] eed help partitioning my HDD. have 120GB free space and 20GB xubuntu which I want to be the same partition. If I mount root on both do they become the same? [09:41] Was my original question [09:41] Jordan_U: I did follow this guide, I'm having the problem after ... seems like grub is trying to boot from another uuid, but in my grub.cfg there are the correct ones (for ubuntu and windows) [09:42] partition names don't have to be in the same order than they're physically on the disk [09:42] domedagen, I think you're missing something and I think I don't understand what you're missing to tell you [09:42] someone help me [09:42] !ask | danish1162 [09:43] danish1162, ask your question already!! [09:43] blendmaster1024: Using the manual partition setup [09:43] i need some application for ubuntu to manage my shop inventory [09:43] blendmaster1024: brb [09:44] i need some application for ubuntu to manage my shop inventory blendmaster1024 [09:44] a simple one [09:44] blendmaster1024: You press change on a partition and it ask Use as ext4 and then mount point [09:44] domedagen, right [09:45] blendmaster1024: If I make / mount point on both do they become the same? [09:45] they do not. [09:45] it will probably error, or it will try to mount both on /; this will cause some serious crap. [09:46] Should I just install in on the free space and then use gparted instead? [09:46] no [09:46] delete the xubuntu partition already [09:46] select it, click the delete button along next to the change button [09:46] any 1 help me [09:46] there [09:47] danish1162: that requires some extensive knowledge, i suggest reading books on that topic or buying it as a service [09:47] danish1162: What's a shop inventory? [09:48] computer shop [09:48] hi [09:48] abhijit, hello [09:48] danish1162: What is it supposed to do? Host an internet store? [09:48] i need for my stuff for whole shop product [09:49] not for networking inventory [09:49] for a busniess purpose [09:49] can anyone tell me why my grub.cfg has the right uuid but will not recognize them on boot? [09:50] hannes815, I probably could but I need to go now. sorry :/ [09:50] thanks though ;) [09:51] "i need for my stuff for whole shop product" consider revising [09:51] blendmaster1024: You said no the gparted?

[10:11] !10.10 | guzu [10:11] guzu: 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 [10:11] thank you [10:11] anyone familiar with N+ ??? I'm getting this error when attempting to launch: It appears '/home/livingdaylight/.nicotine/plugins' is not a directory, not loading plugins. running n+1.2.12 in ubuntu gnome 10.4 [10:14] hi all [10:15] i need some help with a wifi driver in ubuntu 10.04 LTS [10:15] my 10.04 has slowed down to a crawl in the last couple days (i think after an update) and now i get this message when i tried to complete an update :: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/474437/ [10:15] !wifi | Virusless [10:15] Virusless: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:16] the WifiDocs doesnt help me. i have a link up but its in italian ...and some of the DL's on it don't work [10:17] http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,334176.0.html [10:17] Looks like it can't find the repository. [10:18] Have you tried removing the old drivers and searching for new ones? [10:18] I'm assuming you're running it wired at the moment. [10:18] i dont think it has old drivers for this usb Wifi chip. [10:18] no. im running windows 7 (duelbooting) [10:19] hey === drew is now known as Guest39181 [10:19] Ah, a USB wireless adapter. I've hat a ton of issues with those. [10:19] a new (and appropo) word is born: duelbooting [10:19] mikubuntu, its saying it cant contact 2 repo`s.. the canonical one works from here but the other one does not... [10:19] Mine was a Belkin [10:20] Duelbooting. When 2 OSes want to boot at the same time. [10:20] duffydack, so it could be a prob with my isp or connection? [10:20] does anyone know how to get ubuntu to run photoshop cs3 [10:20] all i know about the wifi "dongle" is that its a Sitecom WL-608, which is what the link was to install drivers for. some files were missing [10:20] israfel, no, that's duAlbooting [10:21] You'll have to run PS in wine, correct? [10:21] duelbooting would be a different thing .. lol [10:21] i tryed wine but wine wont reconize it [10:21] mikubuntu, try apt-get update again after removing the remobo repo. [10:21] Dual means they get along. Duel is when they don't. lol [10:21] PS?, i dont have Wine. thats the next thing to install [10:21] duffydack: ok, i try [10:21] wine said some error [10:21] mikubuntu, the remobo site doesnt offer a repo, just plain debs. [10:22] PS, photoshop. But unless it's designed for linux, you'll have to run it in a virtual windows sandbox. [10:22] i see. [10:22] Guest39181: in that case, better askin #winehq [10:22] wine can't run everything. Photoshop works on a very low level to try to improve rendering. Especially CS2+ [10:23] is there a way i can make gimp act photoshop [10:23] Guest39181: those are not the same programs, so no [10:23] anything like photoshop [10:23] at all [10:23] Guest39181: What do you mean? [10:23] with layers [10:23] Guest39181: gimp does work with layers [10:24] yeah but its not the same as photoshop [10:24] its like takes me 5 times longer with gimp then photoshop [10:24] Guest39181: there you have it. As I said they're two different programs. [10:24] Guest39181: What feature are you looking for? [10:24] Guest39181, THey're different programs, so you'll need to learn how GIMP does it. But the transition isn't so hard. [10:24] Guest39181, gimp aint that hard. it works with layers but its native format is xcf (like photoshops psd) [10:24] Guest39181: make your pick, and go with that program [10:25] thanks for the help [10:25] whats the best way to get my wifi dongle working, israfel? [10:25] Guest39181, lots of tuts on the web... youtube etc. [10:26] do you need both SASL and TLS on a mail server if you only accept connections over TLS? Or are passwords still sent as plain text unless SASL is active? [10:26] It's a tough one. Depends on the driver needed. Some work by running it within an adapter, some have Open Source versions. [10:26] Best bet is to look up your specific adapter and see if anyone else found the solution. [10:27] i have found a solution but it doesnt work (broken links for downloading) [10:27] http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,334176.0.html <-- main problem is its in italian [10:27] Often times the driver/adapter isn't even made by the company selling it. ie. ralink and linksys [10:28] also it says to download a Ralink chipset which seems to be non-existant on their site [10:28] lol, how'd I know it was a ralink. === mquin_ is now known as mquin [10:29] OK, I have a ralink driver in my windows box too. [10:29] hey guys thinking of getting a wireless printer which one you recommend for ubuntu [10:29] lol. maybe you deal with too much wifi issues :P (joke) [10:29] Let me check to see... What's the adapter model? [10:30] Sitecom WL-608 (in tutorial, it said to download "/RT2870STA") [10:30] gomunk, thats upto you. your only concern is having a working wifi in your pc [10:30] my pc is fine its hard line [10:31] Well, the good thing is that Ralink only has 3 packages for USB adapters. So if you want, you can use guess-and-check. [10:32] where can i report a new bug? i'm here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ and i see no "new bug" button [10:33] This isn't going to be fun. You're gonna have to build it. [10:33] ok stupid newbie question how do i get the trash on my desktop via windows or mac [10:33] guzu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu hit "report a bug" [10:34] Israfel: is there an "easy way"? [10:34] oCean_, thank you very much [10:34] im a basic monkey. i can copy it [10:35] any one [10:35] Virusless, looking into it now. [10:35] ok, israfel [10:35] Virusless, There's a site that claims there's a way to do it without building the kernel, checking it now. [10:36] gomunk: what are you trying to do? access the trashcan on your ubuntu system from windows/mac? [10:36] Virusless, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121393 [10:36] checking now, israfel [10:37] no just make it on the desktop [10:37] like on a windows [10:37] Different model, but should use similar drivers. [10:38] Ok, I have a question about dual booting. I have Windows 7 installed on one harddrive, and have just installed a new blank harddrive. If I tell Ubuntu to install on the new HDD, will it automatically dual boot without me having to change the boot order in the BIOS every time I restart? [10:38] gomunk: oh.. you want to show the trashcan icon on the desktop? open a terminal, run gconf-editor, go to apps, nautilus, desktop and check the proper options [10:38] gomunk: it should take effect immediately [10:39] israfel: i will download all the files, save instructions to a txt file and try it. if it work, i will msg from ubuntu, if not, i will come back and try again. [10:39] oCean_, i'm just too stupid, i can't report bugs on launchpad, sorry [10:39] TraumaPony, SHould be fine, grub will boot from the main HDD. [10:39] (damn dualboot...doesnt allow me to boot ubuntu and 7 at the same tome on 2 monitors) [10:39] time* [10:39] Virusless: I plan to use virtualbox to fix that hehe [10:39] guzu: really? What happened [10:39] Virusless: huh? running two operating systems on the same computer? [10:40] Virusless, Nope, booting 2 OSs at once won't work. [10:40] israfel: So grub will install over the windows 7 loader anyway? [10:40] Yeah, it'll detect the loader and add that OS into the list. === notsarah_ is now known as notsarah [10:41] So this will happen if I choose "Erase and use the entire disk" and select the free one, right? [10:41] I want to be extra sure :P [10:41] oCean_, i've clicked on report a bug, and there was nothing i could use, i've only found a link which brought me back to report a bug [10:41] slart ok im a noobie any easyer way to do it [10:41] hi - my question isn't strictly ubuntu-related, but I'll give it a shot. my hard drive with my /home partition on it as well as a windows one failed, and my bios won't recognise it. I've got the hard drive plugged into a usb->IDE cable, and it's plugged into another ubuntu computer. is there any way I might be able to get the data off? [10:41] guzu: do you have a launchpad account? (log in) [10:41] gomunk: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/show-the-computer-home-network-and-trash-icons-on-your-ubuntu-desktop.html [10:41] oCean_, yes [10:42] hey guys [10:42] hi [10:42] how are you? [10:42] TraumaPony, just make sure it installs grub on the main hd..(its the last question in the install process) [10:42] Oh ok [10:42] Thanks [10:42] guzu: so when you hit report a bug, you probably got redirected to ubuntu wiki. The actual link is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect [10:42] TraumaPony, it will usually pick it anyway. [10:43] guzu: I don't like the redirect-to-wiki-before-you-can-file-a-bug option either :( [10:43] oCean_, thank you very much, i'd better bookmark this :) [10:43] gomunk: not that I know of.. look.. it isn't that hard.. go to apps, accessories, click on "Terminal", you'll get a new window.. in that window you write "gconf-editor" and press enter.. you'll get another new window with a tree selection thing on the left side.. in that left side find "Apps", and in the subfolder of "Apps", find "Nautilus", and then to the subfolder "Desktop".. now check the right side.. there will be options for showing the trashcan on the de [10:43] guzu: haha, you expect to file lots of bugs [10:43] how do i download from the repositories without using ubuntu [10:43] Virusless: packages.ubuntu.com will work in a browser [10:44] !offline | Virusless [10:44] Virusless: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [10:44] oCean_, not really, that's why i'll forget it :) [10:44] thats Start and oCean_ [10:45] Virusless, Check out the Ralink drivers for the USB devices: http://www.ralinktech.com/product.php?s=27 [10:45] Virusless, I'm guessing it's the RT2571W [10:46] Wait, no. [10:46] Does it have a capabilities? [10:46] Or n? [10:46] 'a' or 'n' [10:47] when trying to install any package I get the following error: reading database ... 85%dpkg: inrecoverable error, aborted: new line symbol is missing in ghostscript-x package file list. How do I fix it? [10:47] duffydack: There are four options for the boot loader installation; /dev/sda = existing hdd name, /dev/sda1 = "Windows 7(loader)", /dev/sdb = new hdd name, /dev/sdb1 = blank. The default one is /dev/sda... Is that what I should choose? [10:48] There are guides for dual booting windows 7 and and ubuntu, but they all say to install ubuntu first [10:48] :/ [10:48] RWolf, Any package? Tried uninstalling something you didn't need as well? [10:48] My google-fu is pretty weak [10:48] israfel: apt-* just fail === wolf is now known as Guest45507 [10:49] Have you tried using the package manager in the GUI? [10:49] israfel: yes, with the same error [10:50] hiyas. my freshly installed 10.4 suspends when i close my laptop lid, although i changed the setting to "blank screen" in power management. any idea what's going on there? is there a workaround? [10:50] RWolf, Sounds like something is corrupted with the package manager. I'd look into reinstalling it. [10:51] RWolf, Speciafically this "ghostscript" [10:52] TraumaPony, sda, if thats your main boot drive. [10:52] israfel: but how? right now I cannot install nor uninstall things [10:52] k [10:52] * TraumaPony clicks install [10:52] God help me [10:53] RWolf, you'll have to do it manually. But it might be an easy fix if it's just an issue with one file. Mainly that ghostscript-x package file list. [10:54] RWolf, Did you find any mention of that error using Google? [10:54] israfel: where can I find the list in my file system? [10:54] israfel: unfortunately, the error is localized [10:55] israfel: so there's no results in google [10:56] <[nige]> hello, I am trying to match some text field ins a file, the delimeter is two spaces but i cant get awk to match it [10:56] TraumaPony, no fear [10:56] lol [10:56] TraumaPony, its not 1995 [10:57] I last tried ubuntu a couple of months ago [10:57] It failed to boot after 3 days [10:57] But would run if I ran it in virtualbox [10:57] RWolf, yeah, everything I'm finding is for dealing with fonts. It's used for printers. Are you trying to print out anything? [10:57] Maybe it'll let you specifically reinstall the ghostscript [10:57] TraumaPony, if you are scared of installing on real partitions then use the wubi install [10:58] heh, indeed [10:58] Oh well, too late now anyway :P [10:58] israfel: no, just tried to install some apps, the distro was installed yesterday [10:58] TraumaPony: better to dive in head first :D [10:58] TraumaPony, booting is easily fixed..what was the problem [10:58] I dunno, it would just freeze half way through the kernel startup [10:59] I was just toying around iwth it anyway, no big loss [10:59] DId you make sure that the iso was uncorrupted? If you just installed it then it may not have installed correctly. [10:59] I didn't, no [10:59] israfel: that was 10.04 alternate cd [10:59] Oh you're talking to him~ [11:00] hi [11:00] israfel: where are the package file lists stored? I'd try to delete them manually [11:00] israfel, its best to highlight their name, this is a large channel :) like so [11:02] duffydack, I'm aware, but often times I forget. [11:02] RWolf, checking now. [11:02] anybody knows a quick way to go to the main menu (startscreen) in ubuntu netbook ? [11:02] like when you have opened an application and want to go to the menu [11:04] ? like the button top left ? [11:04] RWolf, have you tried 'apt-get purge'? [11:05] RWolf, or 'apt-get check'? [11:05] duffydack: Yay, it seems to ahve worked. Win7 boots from grub~. I'mma restart and try starting lunix. Thanks for your help, and israfel too <3 [11:05] israfel: check is ok [11:05] is there any particular reason that the ubuntu alternate installer doesnt allow custom mount options? it seems silly that 10.10 supports btrfs but there is no way to turn on compression. it wont even pause after partitioning to let you do it manually! [11:06] Guys, please help me. In Ubuntu my Rt2573 Wireless stick (RT2501) chipset works out of the box, in gentoo it doesnt. as opposed to ubuntu, dmesg does not report "rt73.bin" being loaded although i installed the according tools. What do I have to do to get it w 1orking? [11:06] TraumaPony, welcome to 2010, we hope you enjoy your stay [11:06] duffydack: Heh. Like I said, only two months ago ubuntu fucked itself :P [11:06] israfel: purge is going to remove ghostscript-x* ubuntu-desktop*, so I haven't let it go [11:07] Those are the items in the package list that are not letting you do anything. THey're stuck in the list and so nothing else will go through. [11:08] RWolf, They're still selected as needing download. So it tries to install it and crashes, so nothing else will get through. [11:09] guys how do i start compiz settings manager from the terminal? [11:10] <[nige]> nevermind, figured it our using awk -F" "" "+ .......... [11:10] ltwinner: ccsm [11:10] israfel: "sudo apt-get purge ghostscript-x" shows the same error [11:10] ty mage [11:10] mate [11:10] can anyone tell me some working weather widget ? [11:10] israfel: newline and stuff [11:12] RWolf, tried the autoremove? [11:12] israfel: yes, same thing [11:13] RWolf, Ok, I think I found the solution with google. [11:14] RWolf: the filelists are in /var/lib/dpkg/info [11:15] RWolf, the corrupted list is in /var/lib/dpkg/info/smbfs.list [11:15] RWolf, Delete or move it. [11:15] Guys, please help me. In Ubuntu my Rt2573 Wireless stick (RT2501) chipset works out of the box, in gentoo it doesnt. as opposed to ubuntu, dmesg does not report "rt73.bin" being loaded although i installed the according tools. What do I have to do to get it working? [11:15] RWolf: ofcourse, you could first try a sudo dpkg-reconfigure ghostscript-x [11:15] ManDay, everyone has issues with USB wireless adapters. [11:16] israfel: well on ubuntu it worked so I sposed id get it wokring on gentoo [11:16] oCean_: that seems to be right, ghostscript-x.list is filled with FF [11:16] ManDay, This is an ubuntu forum. I haven't used Gentoo. === crazydiamond is now known as crazydiamond_awa === crazydiamond_awa is now known as crazydiamond_afk [11:17] RWolf: maybe move the file and: sudo apt-get install ghostscript-x --reinstall -f [11:17] israfel: well im more generally asking what it TAKES to get it working - how ubuntu managed [11:18] RWolf, oops, lol the smbfs.list was for a corrupted smbfs file, yours would be ghostscript.list lol [11:18] ManDay: this is not gentoo help channel, sorry [11:18] ManDay, Not sure. Ubuntu may have come with the drivers intalled. For instance, that adapter may use prism drivers. [11:18] ManDay, What Linux drivers does it use? [11:19] guys? hello === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [11:19] ManDay, Try '/join #gentoo. [11:20] israfel: oCean_: ok, it seems that my flash disk is buggy, because that is not the only corrupted .list file [11:20] israfel: thanks but im already in #gentoo [11:20] RWolf: yeah that could be. [11:21] ManDay: then ask there, not here [11:21] ManDay, Have you tried using a windows driver with ndiswrapper? [11:21] oCean_: I asked how ubuntu gets this working - this has nothing to do with gentoo [11:21] israfel: not at all. the driver is there in the kernel [11:21] ManDay: your issue is on gentoo. Stop asking here. [11:22] ManDay, Are you asking what items are compiled into the kernel to get that specific driver working? Then you'll have to tell me which driver that adapter uses. [11:22] is there a programm for emulating windows? [11:23] !wine | nexus6__ [11:23] nexus6__: 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 [11:23] israfel: what is the definite way to find that out if im ubuntu ? lsmod? [11:23] no i want to emulate windows itself. not a windows programm. [11:23] maybe emulating is not the right word... "virtual maschine" [11:23] !vbox | nexus6__ [11:23] nexus6__: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [11:23] !vm | nexus6__ [11:23] nexus6__: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [11:23] ManDay, The best way is to find out from the driver. Trying to find out what's going on in the kernel as it's running isnt easy. [11:24] israfel: how? [11:24] !ot [11:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:24] hi, i am trying to make a persistent lucid usbstick, but usb-creator-gtk doesnt show me the option for it even after formating. i tried it without and its not persistent [11:24] ManDay, what version of ubuntu are you running? lsb_release -a in terminal please [11:24] ManDay, But the list of supported drivers using prism2_usb driver is to look up prism2_usb [11:24] what should i do? i really need a persistent one [11:25] bazhang: the latest livecd [11:25] israfel: ? [11:25] israfel: i dont understand you [11:25] ManDay, why a live cd? [11:25] ManDay: and it works fine using ubuntu right? Only gentoo fails [11:25] ManDay, If you know how to program, check out prism2_usb.c [11:25] israfel: for what purpose? please make clear what you are refering to [11:26] ManDay, you're trying to fix a gentoo system? [11:26] bazhang: because i currently do not have a persisent installation of unbuntu on the machine that requires the driver [11:26] How would i go about transferring my / folder including all subfolders and everything via ftp? Which client is best on commandline? [11:26] bazhang: im trying to find out how ubuntu got the ralink running [11:26] on ubuntu [11:26] how do i change my trash icon [11:26] Milp_main, lftp [11:26] ManDay, You want to find out why Ubuntu runs it and not Gentoo. In order to know that, you'll need to know what Gentoo doesn't have that Ubuntu does. Ubuntu compiles it in, so the easiest way is to take that USB stick, and look up the specific driver using Google. [11:27] israfel: or s/he could ask in #gentoo why it is *not* working [11:27] guzu is it easy to use? i tried cftp but its not self explainatory :( [11:27] Hello. [11:27] hey everyone how do i change my trash icon [11:27] Milp_main: ftp but dont use ftp to transfer /. everything is unencrypted use scp [11:27] israfel: i can tell you what dmesg says upon plugging it in, it gives to warning about failing to allocate the device with rt2500 driver then loads rt73.bin and then it works - is this enough?! [11:27] iceroot what is scp and can i transfer it to a windows machine with it? [11:28] Milp_main, enter lftp, then enter help [11:28] Milp_main: scp is copy over ssh, i guess windows has scp-clients as well [11:28] Milp_main, also google [11:29] Isnt there a command line client for scp or ftp that has a command line gui? [11:29] Aptitude like [11:29] Milp_main: you dont need a gui for that [11:30] iceroot yeah i know but its just more comfortable [11:30] Milp_main: no [11:30] Milp_main: scp -r user@host:/ . [11:30] How can I upgrade to kernel 2.6.35 (the newest stable release) , using Ubuntu 10.04 [11:30] ManDay, rt73 driver is a mainline kernel since 2.6.24 So shouldn't gentoo have it? [11:31] Milp_main: from the client [11:31] iceroot uh yeah i first need to find a windows server for it [11:32] Milp_main: just find a windows-scp client (##windows) [11:32] what does one install to get a DVB-T device working? [11:33] zetheroo: if the cards supported they work out the box with the kernel drivers [11:33] ok irceroot thanks now i got it on windows, now how do i set users and paths and stuff on it? [11:33] zetheroo: you'll need to find TV/media applications to use them thouogh, such as tvtime, or mythtv [11:33] ikonia: how do I find out if it's supported? [11:34] zetheroo: check the make/model on the hardware compatability lists [11:34] ikonia: Ubuntu compatibility lists? [11:35] zetheroo: general linux ones will do to get a good idea, but the Ubuntu ones are fine [11:35] hello there guys and girls I am currenly using ubuntu 10.10 and would like for a windows computer to see a folder - how do i share a folder we are on the same network [11:35] vershan: ubuntu 10.10 is a development version and not supported. Discussion on it is in #ubuntu+1 channel [11:35] ok thNks [11:35] how can i tell ubuntu 10.04 to shutdown machine when i press reboot in the menu? [11:36] guzu: you said it's a known problem bug, so why are you asking ? [11:36] ikonia, did i say that? [11:36] ikonia, where? [11:36] guzu: yes, you said it's the same with fedora, slackware, ubuntu etc [11:36] vershan, if you want to do it the cool way, use an FTP server. ;P [11:36] guzu: you where told to log a bug for it and work it through [11:36] ikonia, and that implies it's known? [11:37] guzu: if it's not known, it needs a bug logging for it [11:37] ikonia, i've done this [11:37] ok, so work with the bug when it gets a response [11:37] guzu: what is the bug number ? [11:38] ikonia, i was asking something else. because i'll give the notebook to the owner, and i don't want him to press power two times every time he issues a reboot [11:38] ikonia, i wish i knew. how can i find out? [11:38] guzu: you're asking the same question, "how do you make this ubuntu machine shutdown from the menu" [11:38] * guzu was so happy there finalyy was no more timeout ... [11:38] guzu: you logged the bug, so you know the bug number, it gives you the number on screen and in an email when you log the bug [11:38] meh i guess ill have to use ftp, cant find a simple scp server for windows [11:39] ikonia, well, i got no email [11:39] how do i find the ubuntu+1 channel [11:39] ikonia, no the last question was: how can i tell ubuntu 10.04 to shutdown machine when i press reboot in the menu? [11:39] guzu: it comes on screen and it sends a mail to your launchpad registered account email [11:39] can anyone help me with usb-creator-gtk? [11:39] guzu: you don't, reboot will make it reboot [11:39] vershan: /join #ubuntu+1 [11:40] thanks you [11:40] guzu: please find the bug number for the bug you logged [11:40] ikonia, please pay attention, the bug is that it doesn't reboot [11:40] guru press shutdown instead of reboot in menu ? [11:40] guzu: yes, so that's the issue, you can't make it shutdown from the reboot button [11:40] guzu: please login to your launchpad.net account, hit the "bugs" button and it should be listed as your bug, [11:40] guzu: please get the bug id for the bug you logged [11:40] ikonia, so, for the reasons avbove, i want it to shutdown instead of reboot. or get rid of the reboot option [11:41] ikonia, i'll try to login again, since no email has arrived yet [11:41] guzu: you can't make it shutdown with the reboot button, only the shutdown button makes it shutdown [11:41] guzu: it also tells you the bug ID on screen when you log the bug [11:41] (but i'm afraid of timeouts :) ) [11:42] Whats the lftp command to copy a file from client to server? i just cant find it [11:43] Does lftp not accept wildcards? [11:43] hi [11:43] ikonia, finally, the email has arrived: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614698 [11:43] guzu: have you tested this bug on maveric [11:43] maverick [11:43] ikonia, "you can't make it shutdown with the reboot button": because i don't know how [11:44] ikonia, yes [11:44] guzu: no, you can't make it shutdown with the reboot button because it's the shutdown function that you're having a problem with [11:44] ikonia, i reported it from maverick [11:44] ikonia, well, i don't know what you mean, but shutdown works fine [11:44] guzu: when did you test it with maverick, you where in #ubuntu+1 an hour ago saying could you use maverick ? [11:45] guzu: press the shutdown button to shutdown, not the reboot [11:45] ikonia, i've heard you already. but it seems you're either too irritated or too tired to hear me [11:46] guzu: not at all [11:46] ikonia, thank you very much for your help [11:46] guzu: you've said the shutdown button works ok, so use the shutdown button to shut down [11:46] guzu, what's the problem? [11:46] ikonia, i've also said that somebody else will use the notebook and, i want the reboot button to behave the same as shutdown button [11:47] guzu: just tell him to use the shutdown button [11:47] becuase the target user is a complete newbie in computers [11:47] guzu, you want it to shutdown AND reboot? [11:47] guzu: if he can't follow the instruction "don't use reboot, use shutdown" then he will not be able to cope with anything Linux based [11:47] guzu, so you want the reboot button to shutdown instead? [11:48] If i suspend my macbook on Mac OS X, i am used to that i can remove the power cable, plug it in again after some time and the macbook will wake up within 5-10 seconds. If i do hibernate in Ubuntu and turn the macbook on again, it boots from scratch instead of waking up. How can i get a behaviour like in Mac OS X? [11:48] actually, i believe this will be the simplest way out of this, but of course, then he has a wife, a child ,etc, and all will ask, why it works in windows but not in this supposed better os? [11:48] israfel, yes [11:48] guzu: tell them there is a bug in ubuntu [11:48] or linux in general [11:48] it's the truth [11:48] guzu, um, WIndows is the same as Ubuntu kinda. THe only difference is that Windows calls the reboot "restart" [11:49] ikonia, exuse me, i just wanted a perfect os, along existing windows [11:49] guzu: there is a bug - so it's not perfect [11:49] israfel: :D As opposed to? === marc__ is now known as Guest53264 [11:50] ikonia, i know, but for me ,after 15 years of linus using, this bug is outstanding and it's a regression too [11:50] guzu, You'll want to modify the GUI commands, that'll take some coding. [11:50] vnc frozen screen - what to do? [11:50] guzu: so ? [11:50] guzu: if you've got 15 years of Linux experience it shouldn't be a problem to work through the gnome gconf tool to change the mapping [11:50] israfel, can you tell me waht to modify? [11:50] guzu: the bottom line is there is bug, you've logged the bug, tell them not to use the reboot button as there is a bug [11:51] ikonia, right, only to know what to change :) [11:51] guzu, googling now.... [11:51] guzu: search the gconf tools [11:51] israfel, ok, i'll do it [11:51] guzu: 15 years of Linux experience should get you in the ball park [11:51] ikonia, whatever === wolf is now known as Guest78793 === chadi-afk is now known as chadi [11:53] #Ubuntu, Got some problems [11:53] Two really..

I was just grabbing your guys attention (: [11:54] guzu, closest so far is how to add a QuickReboot option into the menu. wiki.ubuntu.com/RapidReboot [11:54] poor abhijeet [11:55] Problem One: On boot of Ubuntu 10.04 I get a cannot mount /dev/bus/usb, Press S to Skip or M to .. go into some menu thing. I tried the menu but that was of no help because I actually had no idea what I was looking for. Any idea how to stop this? [11:55] *abhijit. [11:55] :) [11:55] israfel, thank you [11:55] NeverCast: edit your /etc/fstab and remove /dev/bus/usb line [11:55] rlankfo, Thank you very much!

[12:10] Kedare: there might be useful information in /sys/bus/usb/devices/usbX/* files. There is even a bMaxPower [12:10] It comes to the ubuntu 10.04 boot splash but not further, after a while the bootsplash dissapears and i see the boot messages, last one is "init: network-interface (wlan0) post-stop process(801) terminated with status 1 [12:11] Freudlund_: yes that is correct.. it is in the top bar besides the dat/time. [12:11] oCean_, I searched on this, but I didn't find anything about realtime power consumption :( [12:11] Kedare: and this bMaxPower is not what you're after? [12:11] Freudlund_: click on the speaker icon on the top bar .. you will get sound preferences where you will be able to see individual audio levels [12:11] cage_rephel, but it shows only the general level, not individual levels for say spotify, firefox etc...

Or if you've installed SSH on it you could access the config files remotely and do it that way [12:29] j2daosh: *which* package? Where did you get the sources from? And there are most likely instructions as to how to build in the package [12:29] derper [12:30] hey friends ... can somebody help me whit this irc app???

It's nice to be able to open a terminal and tell Linux to just start the program I want, but it seems that I can't do anything with that particular terminal until I'm done with the program I've opened -- which means that if I want to run multiple programs, I wind up with multiple terminals running in the background. There must be a better w [12:33] ay. What is it? [12:34] Bauldrick: if its nvidia you can enable twinview in xorg.conf.. but it should be explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [12:34] Wingless: program & [12:34] Wingless: notice the "&" at the end.

[12:39] Muelli: is the & trick unique to Ubuntu, or does that work as long as I'm using bash? [12:39] Any reason in particular for that? [12:39] Bauldrick: port scan to see if its listening [12:40] Bauldrick: it might be that root is disabled so you will need to log in with a normal user and then use sudo [12:41] DGM, he is getting connection refused, not unable to login [12:41] j2daosh: oh ye :) he said he used it before though. Maybe the wrong ip? [12:41] cage_raphel, i am able to install 0ad but it hangs after first window. it demand for some lib after which it tell me that it wll create bug for another softwraes. so i want anyone who successfully run 0ad on lucid. [12:41] heya, ive a question about an usb wlan stick. I read in the wiki that the Msi rt300ex is supported, but ive a newer version. its called rt310ex. and now i dont know if its working with the driver for the rt300ex. how can i find out what chipset is used in my wlan stick? [12:42] either that or the ssh server isn't running [12:42] possibly hibernation mode without a WOL? [12:42] possible. Then just try rebooting the laptop [12:42] abhijit: could u pls get us the excat error message when u run 0ad?

[12:46] Bauldrick: that i can relate too. i can't get a wifi connection without the network manager running which I can't get running unless im logged in. (I'm sure there is a way, i just haven't bothered looking) [12:47] hmm i dont have that problem.

[13:00] Diverdude: have a look in the repos, do a search for amiga [13:00] furythor: in gnome go into system -> administration -> hardware. It should show the official nvidia drivers available for install [13:00] The amiga emulator for linux is called 'uae' it works very well :) You do need amiga roms however [13:01] ikonia, yeah i only found this UAE...but it seems to be really hard to make work [13:01] Diverdude: i dident find it hard at all. [13:01] DGM: Yeah there is, however those are 195, and I am wondering that would newer like 256.35 or 256.44 be better [13:02] Dr_Willis, really? Did you make it work=? [13:02] Diverdude https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EUAEAmigaEmulator ? [13:02] Diverdude: you need to find some amiga 'bios/rom' images from somewhere. Ive been using UAE for years [13:02] Diverdude: i still have several real amigas [13:02] Dr_Willis, what is UAE? [13:02] does ubuntu / linux kernel *ever* fix the bugs? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/575492 seems to be around for a while [13:03] furythor: just grab them from the nvidia website then i guess.

[13:03] Dr_Willis, ohhh ok ok [13:03] I have an Intel video card in this netbook I believe - how do I go about changing the monitor (which file?) theres no xorg.conf [13:03] Diverdude: They are not legazlly free... they are the kickstart/rom/bios images needed for the emulator to work. Then you need the actuial games/os disks images. [13:03] TraumaPony you can .. you can link as many grubs as you want as chain loader :) [13:04] DGM: problem is that I don't know if something should be done otherwise because I get bad install results for me, so I think that I will stick with 195 for now, unless someone can give precise advice [13:04] miha: Is it possible after both OS's are already installed?

I cant figure out why it is [13:08] Diverdude: of the old versions.. the amiga version was the best. :) best gfx and music [13:08] Dr_Willis, ahh yes ok now i know what you mean...the problem is that the content of the games actually differ quite a lot [13:08] and i found out that "ping 8.8.8.8" isn't working, but "ping 8.8.8.8 -I eth0" works [13:08] hey why is the 'side-by-side' install option gone? [13:08] Diverdude: for dos/amiga/c64 the game was vbasuicaly the same. [13:08] Dr_Willis, e.g. they this pirate gold once which actually turned out to be quite boring [13:08] i have only 2 interfaces, eth0 and lo [13:09] so, ping 8.8.8.8 goes to loopback? or what?

[13:11] Hi all [13:11] but i didn't get what exactly causes it to start working [13:11] u will find plenty of people to help u here [13:11] Kruptein: its in there near the bottom.. look better :) [13:11] Kruptein: use largest free space [13:12] Kruptein: ofcourse you would have to resize your partitions beforehand to make the space [13:12] DGM: I have only 2 options: entire disk or manually select partitions [13:12] DGM: i tried to perform tracerout in "network tools" app, it doesn't show anything at all [13:12] but previous there also was 'side by side' [13:12] lovish: please ask any questions that you may have [13:12] Kruptein: is your other OS windows? [13:12] yes [13:12] new laptop with fresh windows install [13:13] thanks more but you will have to wait for my queries [13:13] you can resize one of the windows partitions under administrator tools. After that go back into the setup and it will give you the option to use that free'd space to auto create partitions. Thats the easiest way for non-manual [13:13] DGM Okay I will try that first thanks [13:13] main evidence i think is that "ping 8.8.8.8" doesn't work and "ping 8.8.8.8 -I eth0" works, what can cause such an behavior? [13:14] anyone on ubuntu 9.10 who could give me the versionnumber for cryptsetup? [13:14] how to check graphics memory / video memory ? [13:14] ilon: cant you just look for the package in aptitude? [13:14] hi all. Anyone knows iptables?

[13:16] duffydack: thanks :) [13:16] msdos [13:16] dockimble: how did you mount it ? [13:16] dockimble: Are you sure its 'read only' can you write to it as root> it could just be mounted so that USERS cant write to it. [13:16] more: how to access an window os running comp from nxc.it is asking for window's server address.? [13:16] i plugged it in [13:16] it's a sansa clip+ [13:16] DGM: i'm on 10.04, but the cryptsetup seems to be a different version from 9.10, and in 10.04 my partitions isnt able to mount any longer after upgrading [13:17] i deleted something and it converted to read only by giving me an error [13:17] dockimble: you deleted 'somthing' ? as in 'a file from teh flash drive' ? [13:17] as in a file, yes [13:18] when i attempt to write to the device it gives me a read only file system error [13:18] ilon: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/cryptsetup [13:18] how might i open it via nautlius as root? [13:18] does ubuntu automatically removes .deb of third party softwares after installation of that software? e.g. i now installing game from getdeb. so will it keep forever in archives? [13:19] DGM where can I find those administrator tools? [13:19] dockimble: use the command line.. , actually if the user was able to access it then it became 'read only' its possible a filesystem error or disk error was detected. [13:19] abhijit: the cache gets cleaned out after some time. [13:19] Dr_Willis, uhhh :( sad. [13:20] How can u get a file to open on ubuntu the errer says executabe or does not have permission and im new to the OS [13:20] gparted shows the mp3 player as unallocated, is it a good idea to format it? [13:20] Kruptein: rightclick the start menu, properties. You should be able to show administator tools in the start menu there somewhere. From there its computer management [13:20] Davenous8, what is the file extension? [13:20] abhijit: uhhh.. why.. you want to keep 20+gb of stuff you may never need? :) [13:20] Dr_Willis, :) [13:20] what u mean file extention [13:21] x-nautilus-desktop:///WD%20Unlocker.volume [13:21] Davenous8, e.gh. in this example mydoc.txt the "txt' is extenion [13:21] dockimble: is there any data you want to keep thats on the thing? [13:21] don't really carer [13:21] care [13:22] it might become unreadable by the mp3 player itself if you do that thoguh [13:22] some brands have modified paritions for no reason [13:22] DGM Okay found it thanks [13:22] np [13:23] If I have two EditView components in an activity, how to I decide which of the two gets initial focus? Preferably in XML. [13:23] The closest I've found is focusableInTouchMode, but that isn't quite right [13:23] properties does not come up when i right click on it [13:24] Davenous8, whats the thing you actually want to do? [13:25] I got a portabel hard drive i i set it on on the windows vista side of my comp im on the ubuntu side and i cant get it to open to put the password in . ubuntu wont let me open the file i guess its blocking it [13:27] Davenous8: its possible you need to properly take out the drive on vista. Theres a bit somewhere in the ntfs partion that says it needs to be checked. If its set, linux refuses to mount it. Atleast thats how it used to be 2 years ago. Forgive me if thats been fixed by now [13:27] this is the error messege 7-Zip 9.04 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2009 Igor Pavlov 2009-05-30 [13:27] p7zip Version 9.04 (locale=en_US.utf8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,2 CPUs) [13:27] Error: /media/cdrom1/Unlock.exe: Permission denied [13:27] Errors: 1 [13:27] Davenous8: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:30] Davenous8: it runs a lot but by far not all. You can test the programs yourself or you can check the wine website. It has a huge list of programs and it says how well they work (or not work) [13:30] If I have grub installed on my main hdd which boots windows on that drive and linux on a secondary drive, how can I additionally install grub to the secondary drive which just boots linux? I'm trying to get virtualbox to boot the linux partition. [13:31] any good books or programs that i can get for this OS. i find it smother but confusing [13:31] TraumaPony: i think you'll have to install linux from virtualbox instead. Then it should be the only available drive to it and it will put it there anyway [13:31] !manual | Davenous8 [13:31] Davenous8: 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/ [13:32] DGM: I still want to be able to boot into it [13:32] Davenous8, also ubuntu pocket guide, tldp.org, and linux.com and the main one - google!!!! :) [13:33] i dont know if its a good idea like that considering drivers and settings etc. But in that case you could instal llike normal with grub on the first harddrive. Then inside virtual box "restore" grub on its own harddrive. But again i think it might cause issues [13:33] ya google didnt help with this 1 first time it failed me lol but thank you [13:33] there would be some messing around involved to get that to work, considering the boot configs [13:33] Davenous8, if you are interested learning something about ubuntu then there are user days and developer days in which you can learn a lot. you can check theme here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays [13:33] you'd be better off going into the bios boot menu if you want to boot from the other drive [13:34] TraumaPony: if you already have windows installed as long as you have a free patition to use on you system you can dual boot Ubuntu. you can also run windows inside of ubuntu in vertualbox [13:34] thank you and i plan on learnign it i want to enroll in a school for IT and its a interesting operater program [13:35] sacarlson: he wants both to be the same. He wants it on a second harddrive and be able to boot normally into it but also from virtualbox inside windows [13:35] What DGM sid [13:35] said [13:35] hey guys [13:35] would chainloading another grub installation be possible? [13:35] vertualbox where do u download that from [13:35] its possible.. perhaps the easiest way is to use grub for your main boot menu with windows and ubuntu. and then use lilo for virtualbox [13:35] virtualbox.org [13:36] but again.. thats realllly a messy sollution.. :P [13:36] Davenous8, just for you info - there are some good websites for linux including ubuntu forums then ubuntumanual.org and some more. [13:36] DGM: Even though ubuntu is already booting from grub? [13:36] TraumaPony: DGM: well another disk is the same as having an available partition so can do. the install of ubuntu detects the windows and asks if you want to dual boot [13:36] !virtualbox | Davenous8 [13:36] Davenous8: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [13:36] how do you move a directory with files and sub directories in it to another directory using terminal? [13:36] Yeah, sacarlson, I already have both ubuntu and windows installed [13:36] sacarlson: yes but virtualbox cant see that partition ;) [13:36] thank you [13:36] whats the general irc channel? [13:37] sacarlson: so inside virtualbox he doesnt have a bootloader [13:37] eg: not support [13:37] !freenode | gamerx [13:37] Exactly [13:37] gamerx: freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml. freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policy.shtml. The ubuntu channels on freenode also have their own !guidelines [13:37] im trying to transfer a complete linux installation from the root directory via ftp to another machine, however lftp always says ".rnd not connected" while trying to transfer that file. Is there anything special about that file? [13:37] which is why i suggest lilo for that so the configs dont conflict with eachother [13:37] gamerx, #off-topic [13:37] grub for the "real" pc with ubuntu and windows.. and then lilo for inside virtualbox [13:37] thanks abhijit [13:37] !ot > gamerx [13:37] gamerx, please see my private message [13:37] How would one instal lilo now? [13:37] its just a package like any other [13:38] i'm sure you can find plenty of info on lilo on google :) [13:38] TraumaPony: DGM so you want to virtuabox to autostart in windows or ubuntu. is that what you want? [13:38] When you partition your system do you useally lose drivers i lost most of mine and had to track each 1 down [13:38] hi [13:38] how do you move a directory with files and sub directories in it to another directory using terminal? i tried using mv but it doesnt work. it says "mv: cannot move `jquery-vids/' to `jquery/jquery-vids': Directory not empty" [13:38] I'd have to do it from the real boot, correct? [13:38] no sacarlson [13:38] I have windows + grub on my primary harddrive [13:38] Ubuntu on my secondary [13:38] sacarlson: lol no. He has 2 partitions. One with windows, and one with ubuntu. With a bootmenu. But he also wants to be able to go into that same linux install from within windows. [13:38] with virtualbox [13:39] DGM I made the windows partitions smaller and rebooted into the ubuntu live cd, now the empty space is declared as "not usable", Should I format it first? [13:39] any ideas? [13:39] Question: Can you log in into a shared X session using FreeNX? Like when using Vino server on Gnome, or does each login start a separate session? [13:39] Interestingly, there is heaps of documentation for doing it the other way around === geowany_ is now known as geowany[work] [13:39] Kruptein: is it too small maybe? whats the size of the free space. And by free space i mean unpartitioned. Not a new paritition created inside windows mind [13:39] !freenx | thorns may this have some info? [13:39] thorns may this have some info?: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [13:39] i know some one here must know how to do this [13:40] TraumaPony: DGM oh that would be cool but I think the file structure of virtualbox is different but maybe you could or at least convert what was there into it. [13:40] wat [13:40] No [13:40] no I have 93GB of free space and an other 39GB of free space, can I make them together? and how can I make ubuntu use them? [13:40] I'm not creating a virtual machine [13:40] siddhion: mv source destination [13:40] I'm using the actual disk [13:40] *DGM [13:40] siddhion, tried sudo mv? [13:40] Kruptein: but is that space partitioned or not? [13:40] DGM unpartitioned [13:40] yes i tried sudo mv [13:41] Kruptein: then it should be able to use it just fine. If you want to use them togetter you will have to do it manually though. I'd use the 39gb for / and the 93 gb for /home/ [13:41] just dont forget to put a swap somewhere [13:41] hm okay I will do my best :s === sj_ is now known as Andrew [13:41] abhijit, guntbert this is what i did siddhion@siddhion-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo mv jquery-vids/ jquerymv: cannot move `jquery-vids/' to `jquery/jquery-vids': Directory not empty === Andrew is now known as Guest90834 [13:42] Hello ppl , I want to know how do I install mod_rewrite on Ubunut 10.4 ? [13:42] Its not present [13:43] siddhion, cant help. [13:43] DGM: VirtualBox also has an option of embedding a custom MBR in the disk access file. Would that be an alternative solution? [13:43] Or would I still need grub/lilo? [13:43] I used "sudo apache2ctl -l" to check [13:43] DGM I really don't understand it, in the "select partitions manually" the 2 free spaces are displayed as unusable, how the hell can I say that ubuntu has to use those? [13:43] TraumaPony: DGM: well I think I may be way off but I have done a netboot or pxe_boot with virtualbox that used the partition and files direct from the host that it was runing on. Am I close? [13:43] abhijit, That still doesn't clearly answer my question. I've been to that page already. What I want to know is clearly, does FreeNX server start a separate X session on each log in or can it log you in to a session that's already running on the server which someone is actually using it locally. [13:43] not really no [13:43] TraumaPony: i think MBR is for dos/windows based stuff.. it wont be able to load the linux kernel [13:43] anyone ? [13:43] thorns, i dunno. [13:44] Kruptein: if they're unusable they are probably partitioned.. i think. You will have to go into the partition tool manually and lay them all out [13:44] thorns: it starts a new session by default [13:45] llutz, but can it log you into a shared local session? [13:45] thorns: idk [13:45] DGM: Should I install lilo from a normal boot into ubuntu, or from a livecd? [13:45] DGM is there any partition tool in the basic installation? [13:45] Kruptein: whats the paritions and types it shows here? http://www.serenux.com/~hyrax/snaps/UbuntuJauntyManuallyPartition2.png for you? [13:46] Hello ppl , I want to know how do I install mod_rewrite (apache2) on Ubunut 10.4 ? [13:46] I get instead of free space: "onbruikbaar" ~ "unusable" and nothing as Type [13:46] TraumaPony: Well just install with grub first for your real pc. then try getting lilo to work from virtualbox later. But once again.. i'm only guessing it might work.. it might not. Its a very hacky thing :P [13:46] llutz, I'm looking for a better desktop sharing solution, that's faster than VNC. But VNC is all I've ever tried before. I've read remote X has problems with latency, so NX seemed the best solution out there. [13:47] DGM: apt-get says grub is already installed though [13:47] well yea [13:47] thats ubuntu's default [13:48] bonjour [13:48] mornin [13:49] Hello ppl , I want to know how do I install mod_rewrite (apache2) on Ubunut 10.4 ?

[13:53] !grub2 | saby [13:53] saby: 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 [13:53] its not in /boot/grub/ [13:54] saby: the layout has changed, read ^^ [13:54] guntbert, i have grub 1.98 installed [13:54] saby: they don't use menu.lst any more if it's useing grub2 [13:54] saby: that *is* grub2 :-) [13:55] its grub.cfg now [13:55] I want to know if gstreamer is installed. When I look in Synaptic there are tons of gstreamer *plugins*, but nothing about gstreamer itself. I must be missing something. What should I do? [13:55] saby: DGM: yes but you don't modify grub.cfg [13:55] but that is an auto generated file from /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d so you need to modify those [13:55] sacarlson: i was typing!11one :P [13:56] figure002, and how do I check if its there ? [13:56] sacarlson, i needed to modify the location of my windows partition [13:56] I means its enabled [13:56] so changed it in grub.cfg [13:56] hello guys.... [13:56] Guest90834: just type the same command again, it will tell you [13:56] guntbert, thanx :) [13:57] i have a remote squid proxy that only allows http requests using digest auth, I have an application that can only use http with basic auth. I need a 'middleman' to provide all of the auth to my upstream proxy. I've tried to use squid but it only uses basic auth for upstream proxies...any other ideas? [13:57] 111 [13:57] Guest90834: and you might have to restart your Apache server before it's effective [13:57] can any 1 how me how I can enable the home folder on lubuntu [13:57] saby: and don't forget to run update.grub [13:57] ohk . I am doing it . just a min [13:58] figure002, it says already enabled [13:58] I guess I had used this command before [13:58] guntbert, alright :) [13:58] figure002, Well thanks a ton :-) [13:58] hey folks.. [13:58] Guest90834: you're welcome [13:58] saby: it seems that the grub2 just scans all the partitions for you and you pick the one you want to run. but you can create a custom one in /etc/grub.d/40_custom [13:58] thank you all . . . [13:58] bye [13:58] DGM: Would /boot/grub/grub.cfg be located on my windows drive? [13:58] Is there a way to automatically "turn down" my volume when I turn off an ubuntu machine? [13:59] sacarlson, well it did but it was picking up my backup partition :) [13:59] changes it from hd(0,2) to hd(0,3) which was my windows partition [13:59] TraumaPony: its on your linux partition(s) [13:59] apt-get update grub [13:59] saby: well just don't run that one. does it pickup the windows partition that you do want to run? === macode is now known as SirFiChi [14:00] DGM: So if I removed my linux HDD, windows would be fucked? [14:00] sacarlson, not by default [14:00] but changed it to the needed one in grub.cfg [14:00] Does anybody know if Ubuntu comes with gstreamer already installed? I know I have PLUGINS for gstreamer installed, which suggests that gstreamer ought to be there, but until I see something that tells me it actually is, it's kind of unnerving. [14:00] saby: ok then I guess you will need to modify that 40_custom file then [14:00] what exactly do you want to modify saby? [14:00] TraumaPony, you will need to update the bootloader [14:00] on an off topic note...has anyone here been hypnotized? [14:00] sacarlson, 40_custom, where is it located ? [14:01] if you run update-grub it should scan for your === SirFiChi is now known as SirFiChdfdf [14:01] and regenerate the file [14:01] saby: But the bootloader is on my linux partition is it not? [14:01] DGM needed to change the windows partition as it wasnt picking the one i needed :) === SirFiChdfdf is now known as macode [14:01] it should also detect windows on another drive/partition [14:01] TraumaPony, if it is in the mbr then its located in the first sector of the first cylinder of the first hdd [14:02] DGM, it was picking only the backup partition which comes by default with the laptop for repairs [14:02] So what wuold happen if I removed the linux drive, and grub could no longer find grub.cfg? [14:02] saby: well if you want to try a custom one it won't kill you the file is at /etc/grub.d/40_custom [14:03] ok [14:03] sacarlson, will it automatically use the custom one or will i need to specify it in grub to use it ? [14:04] you will need to look at this it shows you how https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [14:05] ok thanx sacarlson but i think i'll take my risk in just changing the grub.cfg :P [14:05] hello, can a staff help in hidding my ip adress? [14:05] saby: after you complete the edit you will need to run sudo update-grub [14:05] ok sacarlson :) [14:06] saby: if you modify grub.cfg it will just get overwriten [14:06] yes sacarlson [14:06] well did it, lemme give it a try [14:07] !cloak | diegus [14:07] diegus: Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode?

[14:11] #Lubuntu [14:16] i changed an old board in my linux and now i have crappy sound... but i placed the same sound card on the new board... how can i solve that? [14:16] what is wrong with my ubuntu installation? I only have the second and the fourth option http://www.serenux.com/~hyrax/snaps/UbuntuJauntyManuallyPartition1.png [14:17] Kruptein: is it a new disk ? [14:18] Is there a way to add an mp3 to one of the menus in ubuntu netbook remix? [14:18] ikonia, well I've bought a new laptop with a fresh windows install [14:18] Actually, a pls [14:18] and I resized partitions like this: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_iyz_eo-7hWU/TF1XzSuUd4I/AAAAAAAAAJI/lAab_ZAw4kA/s800/partitions1.png.jpg [14:19] Kruptein: ok so if that disk is fully used up, then the option 1 and 3 won't be valid [14:19] cablop: sounds like you already solved your problem you put the old better sound card in. Now the old card no longer works? [14:19] no no, i changed the board, but the sound card is the same, so i wonder why the sound became crappy [14:20] ikonia but look at the second link, I made more then 100gigs of free space :o [14:20] Kruptein: you've done it using the windows partition tool, so the space is still allocated [14:20] no no, i changed the board, but the sound card is the same, so i wonder why the sound became crappy, sacarlson [14:20] ikonia how can I solve my problem then? [14:21] cablop: does the new card have a built in sound card like most due these days? If so maybe you want to disable that one that may confilct with your old one. [14:21] Kruptein: use the partition tool within the insaller [14:21] installer [14:21] hot to put "CTRL+R" to the context menu. Not in the scripts sub-menu, directly in the system main context to get it on all places quickly [14:21] ikonia, yes I did, but the free space is shown as "unusable" [14:21] sacarlson: yes i disabled it [14:21] Kruptein: because you've made it with the windows partition tool, [14:22] cablop: and your running the same software ubuntu version? [14:22] what would most of you pappies use to stream mp3s? [14:22] ikonia :s okay now I'm confused the partitioning tool on the ubuntu install disk doesn't work because it's unusable [14:22] Howdy! Have any of y'all tried SAGE? It's a tarball, but I don't know how to install these [14:22] I wanted to use gnump3d to stream mp3s but it isn't in the repos anymore [14:22] sacarlson: yes i do, i just detached the disks and cards and attached again to the replacement board [14:23] cablop: what makes it sound bad like click sounds? [14:23] sacarlson: well, i just changed the linux-image from generic to server [14:23] Is there a way to add an mp3 to one of the menus in ubuntu netbook remix? [14:23] ikonia can you specify a bit more detailed what I should do? [14:24] cablop: well the kernel image is where the sound drivers are so maybe try go back to the original kernal [14:24] sacarlson i am in a problem [14:24] Hold up there pappies! I be asking a question [14:24] sacarlson: it sounds like an old documentary, clics and hiss and sudden high pitches and not fluid... like trying to see dunno, a Cosmos episode at school or a very old Nat Geo documentaery XD [14:24] and I'll be wanting an answer [14:24] Kruptein: whats the 15GB partition at the start of the disk ? [14:24] how stable is 10.10 alpha 3 ? am i likely to have a lot of problems with it ? [14:24] sacarlson the dell backup software screwed the bootloader and it cant find grub now [14:24] saby: how bad of a problem could it be? [14:24] ikonia it's described by the ubuntu installer as: "Windows Vista Loader" [14:24] boris-: discuss in the channel #ubuntu+1 please [14:24] although the laptop is windows7 :p [14:24] thank you ikonia [14:25] saby: just bootup a live ubuntu cd and fix it [14:25] sacarlson now instead of starting grub it says OS not found [14:25] Kruptein: what actually is it ? [14:25] sacarlson: would the change of kernel affects it? [14:25] sacarlson could you tell me the command to repair grub from live cd [14:26] cablop: yes it's posible the kernel change or maybe a irq conflict problem [14:26] ikonia, you get the option to install vista or windows 7 when you buy the pc, I chose windows 7 but the vista installer is those 16gb [14:26] !details | Transmitter [14:26] Transmitter: 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 ..." [14:26] opij i get 11204 / 1044 u/d [14:26] sacarlson apt-get install grub ?? [14:27] saby: yes I think so it's at that link I gave you [14:27] i see [14:27] Kruptein: shouldn't be a problem I assume the black partitions are free space, or are they actual partitions [14:27] saby: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 but let me look [14:27] well, what are the advantages of server kernel vs generic kernel? [14:27] thanx sacarlson [14:27] how do i change the booting image? [14:27] saby: no it's not apt-get [14:27] ok [14:27] ikonia: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_iyz_eo-7hWU/TF1XzSuUd4I/AAAAAAAAAJI/lAab_ZAw4kA/s800/partitions1.png.jpg [14:28] Kruptein: I've got that image [14:28] ikonia * hey are free space, that's why I don't see why I can't use them [14:28] Kruptein: ahhh yes [14:28] Kruptein: they are primary partitions [14:28] ? [14:28] yes indeed [14:28] Kruptein: you have 4 primary partitions, you can't have any more [14:29] ow what should I do then? [14:29] Hello [14:29] Hi [14:29] Kruptein: you need to delete a partition, create a logical partition, then create more logical partitions wihin the logical space [14:29] ikonia I assume that should be done trough windows [14:29] Kruptein: can be done through any tool [14:29] is the boot vid on the begging is plymouth? [14:30] beginning* [14:30] ikonia I need to delete one of those black partitions? [14:30] Kruptein: no, they are free space [14:30] Kruptein: you need to delete one of your actual (primary) paritions [14:30] hm okay which one do you suggest ? [14:30] C:\ is well my windows partition, D:\ is a backup partition [14:31] xdcc list [14:31] ciao [14:31] ikonia I think I'm going to go for the D:\ ? [14:32] Kruptein: what ever you want [14:32] Kruptein: d: would be the most logical choice as the free space is on either side of it [14:33] ikonia okay thanks will try that with the disk utility of ubuntu [14:33] saby: that link I gave you has it search for the string "Reinstalling GRUB 2" in the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Last%20Boot%20Failed%20or%20Boot%20into%20Recovery%20Mode [14:33] ikonia okay I deleted the partition, now create a new partition? [14:33] Kruptein: yes [14:33] or just run the ubuntu install [14:34] ext3 or ext4? [14:34] sacarlson i found the method in that link [14:34] trying it [14:34] Kruptein: your choice [14:34] ikonia if I've done that? [14:34] saby: cool [14:34] Kruptein: then you have a partition [14:34] sacarlson yup it worked [14:35] saby: every 50 things I give out 1 works [14:36] sacarlson i had read in a dell forum that the dell local data backup software is screwing the mbr when windows is started after installing linux [14:37] saby: I'm not surprized that's why I run windows in virtualbox so it don't break my linux [14:38] sacarlson that is a safe method but i cant do that as i need the resources when i use windows [14:38] so i will always need to carry a live cd when i need to use windows :P [14:39] saby: just wipe the restore partition [14:39] ascheel i would have done it but it would screw up my warranty :P [14:39] by formatting the hard drive?? [14:40] ascheel even installing linux would screw up the warranty [14:40] what ass' are dell guys [14:40] * ascheel marks another reason not to buy Dell. [14:40] i took my chances and wiped the restore aswell [14:40] if it ever breaks i'll just wipe the whole HD [14:40] let them prove i touched it [14:41] lol [14:41] saby, you can always pull the hard drive, keep it aside, buy a new hard drive and do what you want [14:41] Doesnt ubuntu-server boot without a cable plugged into eth0? [14:41] ascheel: hmm yea that would've been a more elegant sollution. To late now though :> [14:41] phasip: mine does [14:41] phasip: yes [14:41] ascheel hahaha that is a nice idea [14:41] phasip: yeah. it will. [14:41] phasip: but if you messed up the interfaces file it wont boot at all [14:41] Then i have some really random problem [14:42] saby: Dell ships with crappy hard drives and sizes, anyhow. [14:42] phasip: did you touch the interfaces file? [14:42] and saby is gone [14:42] Yep, i removed eth0 from it [14:42] what is the best setup to use when you want a media center that does live tv and recording, and you want to convert from windows media center to linux [14:42] ascheel: the discussion got offtopic anyway [14:42] and added wlan0 [14:42] phasip: well if you made a mistake there, server refuses to boot. You will need to boot it with a live cd and fix it === andre is now known as spider24 [14:43] yeah, i noticed when trying to get the wlan to work =) [14:43] phasip: why remove eth0? You can unplug the cable and it won't hurt to leave /etc/network/interfaces alone [14:43] phasip: also.. a server on a wlan? idont know about all that [14:44] phasip, Maybe just comment that stuff out? [14:44] not actually a server, just running ubuntu-server === andre is now known as spider24 [14:44] phasip: that's fine [14:44] man the adobe flash drivers suck [14:44] on an off topic note...has anyone here been hypnotized? [14:44] How to insert "CTRL+R" to the context menu? Not in the scripts sub-menu [14:44] DGM, nothing wrong with a server on a wlan. :) [14:44] the video always lags [14:44] antonio_: yep, that's off topic. [14:45] phasip: i guess you could boot in recovery mode, fix the interfaces file [14:45] ascheel: slow, unreliable? [14:45] ascheel: sorry been trying to find some folks that want a free hypnosis session... [14:45] saby, Yes, they do. [14:45] hey! [14:45] Now it booted =/ [14:45] DGM, only if you transfer files a lot. I use my server to rip videos and convert them with handbrake. [14:45] its funny how much hypnosis and computers have in common [14:45] saby: flash looks ok to me as long as I keep it small [14:45] antonio_: not here. Feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic though [14:45] DGM: then store them so I can stream them over the wlan [14:45] sacarlson, yup but in full screen it starts to lag [14:46] antonio_: still off topic, sir. Unless you're hypnotizing your Ubuntu box. [14:46] !ot [14:46] ascheel: i just layed lan cables to my attic.. from there i have a switch to 4 machines :) [14:46] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:46] megavideo does lag sometimes in small too [14:46] join /#gimp [14:46] I'm trying to setup a bootp server on ubuntu, the only howtos I can find are for older versions of ubuntu. they use a file /etc/init.d/inetd Does anyone know into which config file this has changed ? cheers [14:46] saby: ya I noticed that after someone spoke about it [14:46] DGM, I did the same thing, but the switch is bolted to the side of my desk. :) I"m just saying that a wlan is ok, depending on its purposes. Also, some people live in apartments where holes in walls will cost them mad money later down the road. :( [14:46] sacarlson, which drivers would you suggest ? [14:47] are the open source drivers any better ? [14:47] bareego, As far as I know all of those files are still there. That btw is actually a script. Used to stop/start inetd [14:47] ascheel: yea maybe. I just try to avoid wlan. I only use it for my laptops (desktop use). The important stuff is all wired [14:47] saby: I don't think we have an option with flash maybe you can get an older one? [14:47] saby: I tried totem and it looked good so it's not the video driver === Guest62226 is now known as LjL [14:48] sacarlson, totem can play online videos ? [14:48] I'm back, and on Windows. =( [14:48] saby: ya but not flash videos as far as I know [14:48] saby: http://xkcd.com/619/ [14:48] edbian, the file isn't there [14:48] ok [14:49] bareego, Do you have all the required packages installed? What are you trying to do? pixie boot? [14:49] DGM: please don't paste that here [14:49] What's the best way to uninstall a bunch of stuff you don't need from command line? I did an update and it filled up my SSD. [14:49] lol DGM [14:49] I was working off this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html [14:49] couldn't find a newer one [14:50] Israfel: « sudo aptitude purge bunch of stuff you do not need » [14:50] mnjaa [14:50] Yeah, it's hard to know what I need and what I don't. [14:50] My SSD was 4GB, and I didn't even have OO installed. [14:50] Israfel: I use the disk usage analizer and sort to find what is really taking up the space and move or delete it [14:51] bareego, Ummm, I'm not sure. Hang on maybe I can find a newer one. I have an idea where one might be. [14:51] I have access to the command line through a terminal, but I can't bot the GUI [14:51] it does the update-inetd line ok but there is no file /etc/init.d/inetd for me to restart [14:51] ty [14:51] bareego, The new method to start / restart a service is "sudo service inetd restart" [14:52] bareego, does that work? [14:52] Does the Disk Usage work from command line? [14:52] can I ask Gimp questions here too? [14:52] says unrecognised service [14:52] sarawara: only if they're closely related to ubuntu. Otherwise it's #gimp [14:53] bareego, Yeah I think you're missing a package. Can you apt-get install inetd (just a guess) [14:53] Hi All [14:53] sarawara: I've used gimp before but I'm no expert [14:53] that's prolly it [14:53] can i ask something here [14:54] freehdr: this is technical ubuntu support. How can this channel help you? [14:54] ok, i think it is no ubuntu question but a Gimp question (everyone is sleeping in gimpland) I'd like to have cm instead of inches in 'Scale image' [14:54] i just a newbie [14:54] i have install a subversion [14:54] i installed adobe air which is 32 bit using the forced architecture command in my x64 ubuntu [14:55] but get some trouble after i install it [14:55] but everytime i install an air app and after that when i update the app breaks [14:55] freehdr: what trouble? [14:55] when i type -> svnadmin [14:55] do i install as netbook or desktop running winx64 7 using a compaq cq62 laptop [14:55] Guess there's not a lot of command line experts here. [14:55] the message ->command not found [14:55] sarawara: there is "millimeters" [14:56] Israfel: you want Desktop [14:56] Hi all [14:56] I am looking to help develop Ubuntu Maverick any ideas ? [14:56] Israfel: is it a netbook? Forgot to ask. [14:56] george__: 10.10 discussion in #ubuntu+1 [14:56] thx! [14:56] I'm at comand line, I need to delete not essential packages, but I don't know how to use dpkg from command line. [14:56] I'd like cm as default, not that I have to scroll every image [14:56] can i install w/o password? [14:56] it's a netbook, and running off a 4GB thumb drive [14:56] Israfel: dpkg -l shows you all installed packages [14:57] sory dc [14:57] hal69: yes but its better to use a password and select the auto-login feature instead [14:57] ok, that started listing everything....... ok, it stopped. [14:57] Israfel: apt-get autoremove [14:57] sarawara: just select the unit selection when you create a new image. I guess you can convert them too [14:58] sarawara: nomaly mine default in pixals [14:58] !minimal | Israfel [14:58] Israfel: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:58] What will it autoremove? lol [14:58] anyone here can help me configure subversion [14:58] freehdr: Can you show the output of this from your terminal? ls -l /usr/bin/svnadmin; dpkg -l|grep subversion [14:59] Do you know of a video editing program that I can use to take one video and put it in a small box in another video? I want to show a presentation slides along with a video of the speaker. [14:59] ok [14:59] just a minute [14:59] yeah, it's in pixels sorry, i'd like to have them in cm, when opening an image I do not determine anything related to the size [14:59] sudo svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /home/freehdr /svnrepositor [14:59] Israfel: autoremove will remove packages no longer needed (i.e. packages that once were dependencies on packages that have been removed) [14:59] sudo: svnadmin: command not found [15:00] freehdr: Which version of ubuntu are you using?

[15:01] i'll chk both them... [15:01] freehdr: How did you install subversion? [15:01] sarawara: there is more at the bottom with centermeter feet and other [15:02] apt-get install subversion [15:02] I know how to scroll to get cm or mm, I'd like to have cm by default, so i wouldn't need to scroll for it every time i use it (which is quite often) [15:02] freehdr: Can you show the output of this from your terminal? ls -l /usr/bin/svnadmin; dpkg -l|grep subversion [15:02] hello guys [15:02] sarawara: just hit the ▼ next to "pixels" [15:02] I am kinda new to ubuntu.... and i have installed it on my system at hom [15:02] anyone know csh? [15:03] hmm, Odd. I'm at 88% filled. Still won't boot. One of the updates probably borked the GUI somehow. [15:03] but am not connected to the internet at home [15:03] j2daosh: some kind of a shell? [15:03] i need to know how to set a variable as the results of a command [15:03] csh scripting actually, but yes sacarlson [15:03] So minimal is an Ubuntu offshoot? [15:03] does someone know how to set the home page in the links web browser? [15:03] oCean, I know how to get mm or cm, I'd like them to be there without scrolling [15:03] j2daosh: I recommend /join #bash [15:03] can you mount a hard drive using some unique identifier of the hard drive rather than its /dev/ designation? or figure out its /dev/ designation via some unique and constant identifier? [15:03] j2daosh: set VARIABLE=blah [15:03] Israfel: no, just a way to let you choose what you want to install [15:04] what happens when I can no longer access the panel with a mouse? and I can only gain focus on open windows with ALT+Tab [15:04] j2daosh: almost the same as the others what do you want it to do? [15:04] I installed ubuntu on a VM ware at work and I have downloaded some files [15:04] vol7ron: use openbox instead of gnome [15:04] it's far better [15:04] oCean_: It's part of the Ubuntu setup then? [15:04] CppIsWeird: /dev/sd? is the designation. You must use that. What specifically are you trying to do?

So it can't. [15:13] zcript, why not just sudo aptitude install vlc, 1.06 is the default anyway [15:13] but am not connected to the net [15:13] zcript: then it will not be able to retrieve the dependencies [15:14] zcript: install vlc from repos, then install the .deb [15:14] ok...... how can I make apt-get or apitute install them offline [15:14] zcript, Because you're not online you can't get the libs that apt needs from the repos.

[15:15] ascheel, okey which package contains that libgio? [15:15] zcript: ubottu is a BOT [15:15] frankS2: try this: sudo apt-get install libgio-fam [15:16] does anybody know a good media library? like WMP or Itunes [15:16] frankS2: just for future reference: sudo apt-cache search libgio [15:16] frankS2: did you compile your own firefox? [15:16] cawnc: Amarok or Audacious2 are good ones. [15:16] sacarlson, no but i think i compiled my own glib ... [15:16] @ cawnc try songbird [15:16] ,jhyffghgfjghc j [15:16] 10101010101010101010111101010100010101010100101 [15:16] ok.........srry.... thanks guys [15:16] cawnc, you mean media player [15:16] http://pastebin.org/452907 [15:17] sacarlson, ascheel this when i try to install libgio-fam [15:17] No handler matched request to /ljl [15:17] frankS2: maybe reinstall the lib you compiled [15:17] so I guess the site is not openin [15:17] freehdr@freehdr-laptop:~$ svnadmin [15:17] Unknown command: '$@' [15:17] frankS2: with apt-get? [15:17] BluesKaj, no i mean media library, many media players arent library oriented [15:17] sacarlson, no from source, i think it was a newer version [15:17] ascheel: libgio files don't need to be in libgio package. apt-cache search does a package search [15:17] thats why this fails now im sure [15:17] cawnc, amarok comes to mind === segfault is now known as Guest78426 [15:17] zcript, sudo apt-get install --download-only (package) is another way. debs are in /var/cache/apt/archives [15:18] Howdy folks. Ubuntu reserves UIDs up to 1000. I was wondering whether it is possible to then reserve a further 200 UIDs? So that regular users get added from 1200 onwards? [15:18] oCean_: correct, but it doesn't hurt to try it. [15:18] shoot^: not sure on that answer, but you can reassign a UID after a user is created. [15:18] shoot^: may I ask why? [15:18] how can i reinstall all dependencies with apt [15:18] I copied them home.... and then "apt-get install vlc" ....but a bunch of errors poped [15:19] hello i have a problem with ubuntu netbook editiion. i just installed it on my 2004-2005 desktop and it is freezing up!! is this supposed to happen? [15:19] ascheel, I'm using Puppet to manage a bunch of servers - I'd like to reserve the first 200 odd UIDs for users to be synchronised across multiple machines [15:19] where should I ask for help for more details [15:19] how to I make point the source to apt.... I tried adding the "/var..." to the source [15:19] about subversion [15:19] frankS2: well you must have installed it into the same location as the other lib that was allready linked to other software you will need to recover the original libs [15:19] shoot^: /etc/adduser.conf [15:19] zcript: read the doc and make sure you added it correctly [15:19] zcript, for downloaded debs for offline installation? use dpkg -i *.deb [15:19] sacarlson, yep, maybe reinstall all deps to for example firefox? but how [15:20] duffydack: he is trying to make an offline repo [15:20] ok...... this sound good duffydack [15:20] and now he isn't [15:20] lol [15:20] erUSUL, that is perfect - many thanks [15:20] lol [15:20] shoot^: this is slightly off topic of your discussion, but all UIDs past-1000 will show up in the gdm login [15:20] thought he just wanted to grab the debs for install elsewhere.. [15:20] frankS2: look at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-check-package-dependencies-with-apt-rdepends-on-ubuntu.html [15:21] ok j2dosh [15:21] ascheel - I don't think that will be a problem :) [15:21] is there any way to increase the window button sizes (I'm using a default Ubuntu install)? [15:21] frankS2: you can have more than one copy of a lib but don't put them in the same location [15:21] shoot^: just putting that out there. :) [15:22] duffydack: it worked [15:22] ascheel, it is always useful to know! :) [15:22] sacarlson, can i reinstall deps with that one? [15:22] thanks men....... I getting to like liux after all... i have begun to waiver [15:23] but I like it its challenging [15:23] I like that 'make script' method tho.. [15:23] jest kto¶ z Polski ?:) [15:23] yep [15:23] zcript: you want challenging? Diagnose a Windows Blue Screen of Death! :) Diagnosing Ubuntu is easy. [15:23] frankS2: I don't know I didn't read it but there must be something that does. that's how I compile my stuf. I load the depedencys first then compile [15:23] daffydack: I am kinda new to linux... [15:24] dude am new.... maybe some other time when I profess linux [15:25] is there any way to increase the window button sizes (I'm using a default Ubuntu install)? [15:25] hi there, when I change the status with the me-menu, my MSN disconnects, any help? [15:26] hey folks, I'm trying to create a bash script to put in nautilus-scripts folder that will carry out an eyeD3 command on selected files so far I have this, http://pastebin.com/FraQC5RX , but it will not work, anyone know where I'm going wrong? [15:26] Guest78426, change the theme, or hack the current one [15:27] well guys I am new.....is there any thing similar to photoshop something a bit like [15:27] How can I keep my clock updated to the latest time of a specific ntp server? [15:27] neurochrome: how can i hack it? are there gconf properties or do you mean something else? [15:27] dragenov, gimp? [15:28] Ubuntuyoungkadet, system/admin/time date [15:28] can gimp work with layers take the vector apart [15:28] Guest78426, I think it's a bit more complex than messing with gconf, you want to follow some tutorials on creating gnome themes [15:29] neurochrome: ok, thanks [15:29] gimp works with layers, but it is raster-based [15:29] neurochrome: raster-based [15:29] neurochrome: I glanced at it but I'm not sure. my bash is stail. but there is a #bash irc that I have used if they are awake. [15:29] neurochrome: ???? [15:29] sacarlson, yeah, already hit that one, it seems that this should work though [15:29] duffydack, Thank you so much! [15:30] sacarlson: we're awake in #bash. :) [15:30] dragenov, raster, as opposed to vector [15:30] duffydack, I'm gmt+2, what server should I choose? [15:30] Ubuntuyoungkadet, it`ll be easier in 10.10 :) [15:30] neurochrome: maybe put something other than that eye thing like echo and see if it loops like you want [15:30] i had problems with wlan dropping and not connecting back until reboot... this seems to work: http://edtake.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/ubuntu-lucid-lynx-wireless-keep-dropping/ [15:31] sacarlson, have you tried using nautilus-actions? I found it to be an easy way to add scripts [15:31] duffydack, It's ok, I managed, it's not hard in this version either... [15:31] freehdr@freehdr-laptop:~$ sudo svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /home/freehdr /svnrepositor [15:31] sudo: svnadmin: command not found [15:31] why command not found [15:31] Can anyone help me fixing a problem? [15:31] sacarlson, yeah, I have notify-send'd it and the filename and path are correct [15:31] Guest78426: nope [15:32] freehdr: because if you ls -l `which svnadmin` you will see that it does not have execute permissions. You need to go to #subversion to diagnose that issue [15:32] Ubuntuyoungkadet, use any server.. [15:33] Do you know of a video editing program that I can use to take one video and put it in a small box in another video? I want to show a presentation slides along with a video of the speaker. [15:33] duffydack, Ohhh ok, it says there europe above, so every server should be good isn [15:33] duffydack, Isn't it? [15:34] Can anyone help me?

[15:43] MysteryGuy, I use usb-hdd [15:43] apt get? I thing is for taking files from repository [15:44] timaaarrreee, it is a command that utilises apt - the package manager [15:44] sudo apt-get install package-name [15:44] timaaarrreee: apt-get is how you install software packages from the repositories. [15:44] yep, apt is a packaging tool [15:44] !apt | timaaarrreee [15:44] timaaarrreee: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[15:48] XunZi: .mpg is only a filename. They may not be actual .mpg files. Either way, Nautilus doesn't know the format they are in [15:48] XunZi, I think you can set it to not show files over a certain size [15:48] is there a channel concentrated on ubuntu hard-technical side?

[16:24] ...... [16:25] FenBo, start with phpmyadmin ? [16:26] hi all, friend of my son's bought a Dell Mini 10v and asked me to put Ubuntu on it. Problem is that the computer is flaky with wireless at her house which has wireless N router....I bring the mini here and it works fine for me. Any ideas? [16:27] Dante123 Ubuntu cand handle very well the WiFi [16:27] is like that from long time ago [16:28] DarkSector, I do not follow you. I followed a guide to install phpmyadmin and I cannot get it to start so I want to remove and reinstall [16:28] FenBo, try this, http://www.declaredvoid.com/index.php?id=76 [16:28] Dark [16:28] DarkSector, me noob [16:28] I am an idiot and installed the 32-bit CD. Can I upgrade to 64-bit just by building a new kernel or is there more to it? [16:28] FenBo, n00b + experience + humility == bill gates :D [16:28] Linux....like I said...the wifi works....but is very flaky....drops connections frequently. [16:29] yes i now [16:29] Linux, seems to be like that from the beginning. However, at my house with wireless g....it runs fine for hours. [16:29] wifi is good but not perfect for every card [16:29] you need provide details of the card and maybe the wireless n is the bottleneck here [16:29] jimbo_ there is more to it than that I believe [16:29] wombatguy rong!!! [16:30] is not network card fault [16:30] is the sistem problem [16:30] it is a broadcomm 43xx [16:30] because if she put windows the WiFi dont drop !! [16:30] i guarante you [16:30] Oh, it is flaky on windows too [16:30] she has dual boot [16:30] DarkSector, cool but what to get Bill Gates FREE? anyhow I have the lamp server set up and just want to uninstall phpmyadmin and run thru again. Looked at your url. very good but I just want to do the php reinstall [16:31] well actually that may be totally different [16:31] Dante123 she have the right driver specific to XP only? or generic drivers? [16:31] FenBo, you don't have to re install php [16:31] when I start up the restricted drivers.....it shows two options...something like broadcomm 43xx and broadcomm STA... [16:32] FenBo, all you can do is you can edit the apache2.conf if you've followed the above steps [16:32] hi [16:32] Linux, the dell mini came with windows xp straight from dell and has the specific driver for the wireless card [16:32] one other question is there any disadvantage in running ubuntu in a virtual machine for software development [16:32] FenBo, also if you DO want to remove php, you can do sudo apt-get remove php5 in the terminal [16:32] anyone knows what can i do about not hearing earphones ouput on eee 1001p? [16:32] Dante123 if she drop with windows to than...what you whant? [16:32] :) [16:32] i see only analog output and analog speakers output [16:32] DarkSector, thanks [16:33] afternoon all [16:33] FenBo, no problem [16:33] well could actually be a hardware issue === okaiji is now known as philneo [16:33] and I don't think that argument Linux made earlier made any sense [16:33] Well, I'm trying to determine what the problem is.....ie. bad wireless in pc then lets return to dell OR is it that the wireless N router does not play nice with this particular card [16:33] who tell you Dante123 if you put ubuntu the wifi dont drop? :)) === Luke1 is now known as Luke [16:34] many wifi cards sadly aren't open source with respect to their drivers so yea something might work better in the native environment of those drivers [16:34] hey you guys..i get a message "operation not supported by backend" when i try rename one of my discs [16:34] so just because the card works better in windows then ubuntu doesn't prove anything [16:35] the wireless card used in mini laptop is to poor or bad...is to tiny...and cheep [16:35] no one told me that....and I never said that. I'm telling you that at her house it is flaky....on windows and ubuntu. At my house it works fine.....so that makes me think wireless n router does not like this card...is that possible? Are there any suggestions for workaround? [16:35] hey you guys..i get a message "operation not supported by backend" when i try rename one of my discs [16:35] umont firts! [16:35] and then rename it [16:36] unmount* [16:36] Dante123: yes it's possible [16:36] Dante123: Is the router where you are also wireless-n [16:36] thanks [16:43] wombat guy, I there....yes the router where I am is also wireless n.

[17:55] coz_: je n'utilise pas filezilla mais j'ai besoin de monter un partage ftp comme un système de fichiers [17:55] hi everyon! I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and forgot to set the mount point for the /home/, so Im configuring the fstab now. I need some help with the parameters = dont know if I posted that..... sorry!) [17:56] !fr | vinux_fr [17:56] vinux_fr: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [17:56] trakinas: why don't you just ask what you want to know [17:56] is it secure to delte all files in "/tmp " folder [17:56] now, I repeat: should I use defaults? i.e. /dev/sda2 /home/ ext3 default 0 1 [17:56] Hey guys, what is the safest way to safely remove an USB mass storage device (pen drive, external hd, etc.) from command line? I've tried 'umount' and 'eject' but the green light on the USB is still on... somehow ubuntu has the option to 'safely remove' on it's gui and it turns the light off, is there any way to do it on Gentoo's command line? [17:56] hemza: secure ? you're deleting files, that's very secure [17:56] trakinas: that's fine if your using ext3 [17:56] ubottu: on me répond en français aussi ici ... [17:56] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:57] icmp_request: green light normally = power [17:57] icmp_request: umount is the thing. possibly the light's staying on til it finishes syncing? [17:57] if i have windows and ubuntu installed as dual boot on the same hard drive, and i do pre-boot authentication for windows with truecrypt, will that mess up my ability to boot into ubuntu? [17:57] trakinas: ... defaults 0 1 [17:57] jeremyn: no [17:57] vinux_fr, oh ok je ne sais pas comment faire désolé [17:57] coz_, vinux_fr: #ubuntu-fr [17:58] ikonia: but is there a way to interrupt the power from the port like windows and ubuntu do? | maco: nope, it keeps always on =/ [17:58] I mean the device is umounted etc. [17:58] how do i register with freenode [17:58] icmp_request: I wouldn't worry about power [17:58] daytim3, /q nickserv help [17:58] !register > daytim3 [17:58] so probably it's safe to remove [17:58] daytim3, please see my private message [17:58] icmp_request: if its unmounted it can be removed [17:58] coz_: no problem but you should talk only in english on #ubuntu ;) [17:58] anyone familiar with ubuntu as a guest on virtualbox and videodriver problems with guest additions? [17:58] icmp_request: the point of safely eject is to sync & unount [17:58] ikonia: what does truecrypt do, exactly, do you know? does it make it so that when i choose windows in grub2, it points to the truecrypt bootloader? [17:58] what was the name of the java plugin? sun-java-plugin? [17:58] vinux_fr, ok english it is.... how about gnomecommander?? [17:59] jeremyn: it's just encyption, nothing more [17:59] ikonia: no, pre-boot authentication means truecrypt has to insert itself into the boot process, i'm worried that it will muck up grub2 [17:59] I see so why does windows and ubuntu besides unmounting interrupts power to the device? but if you say it's safe... thanks =) [17:59] llutz: I see! In your fstab, how is it? My partition is ext3. [17:59] jeremyn: no it doesn't [17:59] jeremyn: it will be fine [18:00] trakinas: your line is fine, its just called" defaults" not default. [18:00] Hi, I need to add a DNS wildcard to my machine, can I do that by editing a file somewhere? [18:00] ikonia: everything is backed up so i'll give it a shot. thanks. [18:00] Steve^: what do you mean, add a dns wildcard [18:00] llutz: thank you! =] [18:01] ikonia, a wildcard subdomain, for a wordpress installation [18:01] Steve^: you need to edit the dns servers that host your domain then [18:01] ikonia, I'm doing it locally [18:01] Steve^: then you need to edit your dns servers [18:01] ikonia, which brings me back to my original question [18:02] Steve^: what dns servers are you running ?

[18:03] ikonia, what would you recommend I install? [18:03] Steve^: I recommend you don't use a sub domain if you're just testing wordpress [18:04] Steve^: I recommend just having a fake domain in your host file and using that to test your wordpress install before go live [18:05] is there a tool to delete temporary files [18:05] hemza: rm [18:05] hemza: tool is called rm [18:06] hemza: also applications (firefox for example) have tools built in, eg: delete history files, etc [18:06] Is there any way I avoid these " a-z left the room " messages ?

[18:09] maco: thanks for help :) [18:09] kuttan_: i use quassel because i use kubuntu. xchat is popular for gnome users [18:09] i find that ubuntu store my root password in unsecure place which can be reched easily [18:09] wombatguy, you disappeared?

First of all, I removed the Ubuntu Netbook remix by removing GNOME (with purge) and the netbook launcher. After the reinstallation of GNOME, the volume control doesn't seem to be in the indication panel anymore. Does anyone know what packages I am missing? [18:18] this is a dumb question, I know...but you know how if you do apt-get install, you have to have root permission? Well, if you download the source code instead of doing a package manager, like, could you install whatever it is so that you don't need root permission? [18:18] it does [18:18] theredundant: that guide is telling you to add repo's from an old ubuntu version (totally unsupported with 10.04) [18:19] but ive no clue what to do [18:19] ahh [18:19] The internets contain little information about wildcard subdomains in Ubuntu [18:19] ikonia: how i shouldn't know root password ... it is my machine [18:19] theredundant: I would strongly advis eyou not to add that line if you want to keep your system usable [18:19] okay [18:19] when I type in a box sometimes, the item say a number and I try to put it in with the number pad it automatically highlights the contents. [18:19] how do i proceed then [18:19] hemza: because ubuntu does not tell you the root password, it uses the sudo model [18:19] oops [18:19] hey everyone I have a firefox question, when I type in a box sometimes, the item say a number and I try to put it in with the number pad it automatically highlights the contents. [18:19] theredundant: no idea, but that guide is giving out dangerous information [18:19] mkay [18:20] how do I stop this annoying ass shit?

When I set the cpu governor to 'powersave', frequency atays at normal 1833 mhz what can I do to reduce the frequency and save power?

I select one copy and it just keeps pumping copy after copy out [18:22] hey, so my question...is it possible to install an application without using root? [18:22] I have a printing problem... recently I installe the whole kubuntu desktop package and since then I can't print! I'm using the HPLIP software for my D2660 [18:23] how i can get driver for cannon lbp2900 printer? [18:23] what was the name of the java plugin, so I can search for it and install it, sun-java-plugin? [18:23] sje46: it depends on the application. you can, for example, compile something from source and execute it without needing root [18:23] sje46: yes you can compile your own aplication in your own space and run it [18:23] hi [18:23] Luija1006: just search for java6 or sun-java6 [18:24] sacarlson, any application? [18:24] sje46: any application that doesn't need access to forbiden files and things [18:24] bye folks! [18:24] how i can get driver for cannon lbp2900 printer?? [18:24] what is the optimal root partition size for ubuntu 10.04 ? [18:24] hey i am having problems with commands to install openjdk. any link to find any tar or tar.gz file to install openjdk and netbeans [18:24] !print [18:24] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [18:24] how do i view the permissions of a file and how do i change them in nautilus? === mike is now known as mikehershey [18:25] does CUPS even work? [18:25] thanks sacarlson === mikehershey is now known as mikehershey_ [18:25] sje46: in fact you can run your own virtualbox and run anything in your space [18:25] i try to change them in nautilus even with gksudo but it switches them back right after [18:25] I have a printing problem... recently I installe the whole kubuntu desktop package and since then I can't print! I'm using the HPLIP software for my D2660 [18:26] hey man help me to get link of open jdk [18:26] sje46: best to try things in virtualbox you can't break anything you can't delete and try again later [18:26] well, what if you use a webhost? [18:26] do they allow you to install applications? === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [18:27] sje46: webhost what is it? [18:27] hussain, it should be in synaptic [18:27] dreamhost, sacarlson [18:27] sje46: does your account have access to what you need? [18:27] hussain, do you have the partner repos enabled? [18:27] i have no idea, sacarlson [18:27] hussain, actually the partner repos arnt necessary I believe [18:28] sje46: if it's an internet thing and all you need is access to it then maybe [18:28] so chmod in terminal is telling me a file is 777 but nautilus is saying that user account only has read for 2 of them [18:28] !java [18:28] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [18:28] sje46: if you want full access you might want to look into a virtual private server, through linode or slicehost or something [18:28] i don't know, coz_ terminal is giving me error: E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [18:28] what do you mean, an internet thing, sacarlson ? [18:28] and it switches the permissions back if i try to change it in nautlius [18:28] sje46: you would need to be able to setup the nat to let people come in from the outside [18:29] Hello, I have a problem: I installed ubuntu server 10.4 on a hdd using my notebook's hardware. now I put the hdd into the server-pc, but no ethernet is detected. the setup-cd does detect the adapters, but i don't want to reinstall everything. How can I detect the ethernet adapters now from the system? [18:29] sje46: something that needs internet access [18:29] hussain, try sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [18:29] does anybody know an addon for enlarging only text in firefox? [18:29] husimon, or open synatic and hit search type in icedtea [18:29] AnxiousNut: i use Default Full Zoom Level [18:29] okay...thanks sacarlson [18:30] AnxiousNut: just control + [18:30] hussain, rather that was for you try sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [18:30] k [18:30] hussain, why do you want opne jre? [18:30] this permissions thing in ubuntu is pissing me off [18:30] sacarlson, that also enlarges the pics and every thing else! [18:30] AnxiousNut: cntl + to make it biger cntl - to make it smaller [18:30] i wanna run applets [18:30] uBUTTtu, which permissions thing> [18:30] AnxiousNut: oh sorry no just the text [18:30] i cant copy a file to an sdcard without getting permission denied errors [18:31] AnxiousNut: Nosquint plugin [18:31] AnxiousNut: that's a good idea if they could do that [18:31] hussain, which applets because open jre icedtea will not run regular java applications...at least in my expertience [18:31] hussain, example opnebravo [18:31] wouldnt let me copy /dev of a linux filesystem without going root and after that i had to chmod it recursively just to unlock them [18:31] hussain, you definitly need sun java 6 for that [18:31] AnxiousNut: you could increase the default text size in firefox, without an addon, Edit > Preferences > Content [18:32] uBUTTtu, did you just open nautilus as sudo nautilus ?? [18:32] is there a command to detect new ethernet adapters? [18:32] why not use google chrom [18:32] *chrome [18:32] yeah i did alt+f2 gksudo nautilus [18:32] i am reading java 2 ref book, so is this help me to run applet examples [18:32] jeremyn, nah im actually okay with english, but it's pretty small in arabic!

[18:36] jre is already installed. and it is not compiling applets [18:36] sacarlson, If it's not in lspci it won't be in ifconfig. [18:36] ben_q: try lspci [18:36] sacarlson, it only show's "lo" [18:36] AnxiousNut, that one may be out of my base knowledge... did you test that the web cam actually works with some thing like camorama or cheese? [18:36] hussain, try in ##java [18:36] hussain: i'm not a java expert but the jre is the runtime environment, don't you need a jdk to compile? [18:36] ben_q: sie: I agree if no lspci it's broken [18:36] sie, sacarlson, lspci shows them, but not as "eth"-anything [18:36] hmm [18:36] hussain, no you need sun-java6 [18:37] it works with cheese [18:37] and with several others [18:37] so how do i get them from lspci into ifconfig? ^^ [18:37] i cant get it to open in pidgin or empathy [18:37] ben_q: so what do we see them as? [18:37] daytim3, that may be empathy or pidgin not being able to run the cam [18:37] yeah, i guess i need jdk. terminal suggesting me openjdk which is having some problems. but ok thanks buddy. [18:38] hussain, well hold on...

[18:39] aicasn: I tried that as well [18:40] mikeconcepts: what was the problem? [18:40] yes, sacarlson, it only shows "lo" [18:40] k, i am trying some tar files from net.

[18:42] aicasn: three different results, one just stops at syslinux, another fails to a prompt, another just stops at boot prompt, so I figured the download of A3 was bad, redownloaded from another mirror, same result [18:42] Guest84152, then reboot the system and see if it holds [18:42] how does the permissions work? will a file i do not have permissions to use on this system be useable on another system where i have root?

[18:43] never had them to begin with [18:43] i would like a larger screen resolution than ubuntu is allowing [18:43] it doesnt have full "777" [18:43] uBUTTtu, ok did you chown the file? [18:43] im just wondering if i bring it to another system i am root on will it be full 777 for that? [18:43] yes and no [18:44] ben_q: you didn't modify your /etc/interfaces file did you? [18:44] right now im just wondering about my original question [18:44] uBUTTtu, try sudo chown -R youname nameof/file [18:44] mr_hai, had you seen that link given by ubottu/ [18:44] i know [18:44] coz_: i dont get any listing [18:44] i did [18:44] no [18:44] im wondering, if i bring it to another system, will the root there have full 777?

[18:47] what does it work? interfaces file [18:48] ben_q: how about just sudo ifconfig eth0 up [18:48] i guess what im asking is: are permissions system specific for a given file? [18:48] well xubuntu asked for an update and told me that there are new drivers for my card and installed them also [18:48] am i connected? [18:48] uBUTTtu, my guess from one ubuntu machine to another the same permissions [18:48] why keep using sudo [18:48] restarted and now i have this high resolution [18:48] if you have the shell open just use su [18:48] Guest84152, is that what you wanted? [18:48] cananyonetell me pleas.. am i connected? [18:48] and then type the commands so you dont have to keep entering the passwd [18:48] sacarlson, "eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device" [18:49] it's not listed as eth0 anywhere [18:49] coz_: the resolution can be higher [18:49] i know it is possible [18:49] welcome to ubuntu permissions hell [18:49] Can't extract a 7zip file in 10.04 - Is there an app I can install that open and extract a 7zip file ? ?

[19:16] DanThirst: www.freenode.net [19:16] hi. update manager wanted to do some updates yesterday so i let it, but it's been a whole day and it's stuck on "Unpacking replacement base-files..." and it asks when i try to close it am i sure i want to cancel and leave my system broken. any ideas?

I can do LANGUAGE="" apt-get, which would give me back English... [19:17] It freezes quite often for me 9.10 was fine, 10.04 freezes almost 2 times a day though [19:17] but LANGUAGE="en_US:zh_CN:zh_TW:zh_HK:en", so why do Ubuntu pick out a language in the middle of this list? [19:17] <[thor]> MXIIA: what is freezing though? the gui, the panels, the desktop? [19:17] the entire thing, screen goes blank/orange and nothing works [19:18] <[thor]> MXIIA: does it let you switch to other tty ?

[19:18] what other details do you need? [19:18] dmesg is just filled with "00 00" after every freeze [19:18] coafcv: logs are usually in /var/log. /var/log/messages is the big one [19:19] ugh, 10.04 messed up my samba [19:19] hi.

[19:20] jeremyn: thanks for the hint, but /var/log/messages does not include the message I saw, I just looked. is there any specific place where boot messages (those you sometimes see while ubuntu is starting) are written to?

[19:23] hussain, yes? whats your question? [19:24] I mean does GTK+ interface support java backend? [19:24] coafcv: well......in theory, you should be able to purge /tmp at any time without a problem. so you could try deleting everything in /tmp and seeing if the problem happens again. obviously you should be careful [19:24] sir, does the java beans from java 2 reference book means today's netbeans? [19:24] hussain: ##java folks weren't helpful on that? [19:24] jeremyn: right, but I was more worried about it being a trojan or something. or is it normal for stuff to be executed from /tmp during boot up? [19:24] hussain, ask in ##java [19:25] i have a question about 10.04. on my machine installation from cd in standard mode was not possible because of errors: only installation from live cd was fine. is this normal? [19:25] should I type /join ##java on this prompt? [19:25] Does GTK+ UI supports java backend? [19:25] sidharth, there are Gtk+ bindings for a lot of languages out there, must be a Java one too I'm sure [19:25] hussain, yes. === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [19:25] thanx bro.

I have used it but it's not smoth [20:32] not sure, but it worked with windows [20:32] swj0809: Copy these files over to Ubuntu (with a flash drive, or by accessing the files from your windows partition) http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz === seb__ is now known as Cappientes [20:33] swj0809, personally, my bcm43 card works best with the sta driver, which uses eth1 [20:33] swj0809: To make the instructions easier copy them to your Desktop. [20:33] sacarlson, i'm just looking to use guitar pro on windows, so the sound doesnt have to be perfect [20:33] swj0809, which is in the hardware driver tool [20:33] Hello. When I attempt to connect www.ubuntu.com, the browser tries to connect 066-eov-335.mktoresp.com but can not. Do you know what is it? [20:33] do i need to buy a new wireless card? [20:34] is there a way to ask for hostnames? I'm trying to connect to another box via a hostname but half the time I get a DNS error. [20:34] anyone have experience with usb mouse randomly reconnecting all the time? [20:34] Chiggins: I have played with my guitar on linux with some success but now the linux-rt is broken for m [20:34] in 10.04 [20:34] ------> swj0809: Just read this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343632 it maybe helps you [20:35] Chiggins: I had all kinds of cool effect that had very small latency [20:35] sacarlson, using guitar pro? [20:35] swj0809: Then in Ubuntu open a terminal and run "sudo tar -xf Desktop/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware; sudo tar -xf Desktop/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware" [20:35] wow annoying when ubuntu disconnects my mouse every 30 seconds :| [20:35] swj0809: After that either reboot or run "sudo modprobe b43" and you should have working wireless. [20:35] Chiggins: but that was working back in ubuntu 8.04 and I can't even get it to work there anymore [20:36] I wish to manually set the placement geometry for all applications...is that possible? [20:36] xxx_ooo_xxx, devilspie or compiz place window plugin. [20:36] On the desktop or the menu? [20:36] sacarlson, i think im going to just try out tuxguitar for ubuntum hopefully that will work well for me and allow opening of gp3 files [20:37] duffydack, no way to do it without installing something like that? [20:37] Chiggins: no not gutar pro just ladspa the free sound effects lib [20:37] xxx_ooo_xxx, some apps remember their placement. [20:37] yeah i noticed ff3 does [20:38] xxx_ooo_xxx, for those that dont, use devilspie or if you are using compiz its in the settings tool [20:38] so i should install the files, type the text into a terminal, reboot, and type "sudo modprobe b43" into a terminal? [20:38] swj0809: The directions I gave will work if you have a broadcom card. Looking back I see that it was Humle that mentioned a broadcom card and not you, so my directions may not apply (but won't hurt anything either way and may work). [20:39] swj0809: if you put b43 into /etc/modules it will load at boot :) [20:39] swj0809: Rebooting is enough, you only need to run "sudo modprobe b43" if you want to test it without rebooting. [20:39] be easier to get him to display his lscpi :) [20:39] find out what it is first. [20:40] oh ok, i'll go try, thanx for the help [20:40] ActionParsnip: That's not needed, it will be loaded if needed (and the firmware exists) by default. [20:41] duffydack, wouldn't happen to know how to set devilspie to catch all windows? [20:41] xxx_ooo_xxx, used it once, years ago. [20:41] xxx_ooo_xxx, so, no, sorry [20:44] hello guys [20:45] is it possible to install lucid from the live cd/dvd without gui? [20:45] yeah you can do that [20:45] is there any script to do that? or a text-base installation? [20:45] m41n1: No. [20:45] !alternate | m41n1 [20:45] m41n1: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[20:48] petriborg2, if you have dvi or hdmi outputs on your graphics card, yes === azakai is now known as kripken [20:48] ok [20:49] finnly i have installed it lol [20:50] haha wanted to ask how can i check is my grafix card installed [20:50] haresh, do you mean if your system sees it? lspci in terminal [20:51] is anyone else experience this usb glitch [20:51] haresh, in the terminal lspci | grep VGA [20:51] haresh, there are many guides on the ubuntu forums on graphics troubleshooting if you are having driver issues [20:51] john__, hey [20:51] - BluesKaj - yeah i have mine working, but no sound at all, its an integrated gf7100 so it seems like it should get audio, but nothing comes out of the tv :( ideas?

[20:55] haresh, it is plugged in the computer and the computer recognizes it. but that won't tell you if the drivers are installed [20:55] BluesKaj - yeah I can play sound through the analog surround sound jacks on the back so I know pulseaudio is working there [20:56] petriborg2, make sure the pcm ctrl is tuned up and unmuted in alsamixer [20:56] BluesKaj - and if i do "aplay -L" i can even see the HDMI port, and I can select the HDMI in the sound panel so everything *seems* like it should work [20:56] how do i install it ? [20:56] BluesKaj - where do I check those things? [20:56] i have two seprate /home and /. can i now merge them to make one single continues partition? i.e. without loosing any data and ruining ubuntu? [20:56] err turned up, petriborg2 [20:56] if you set updates to "download in the background" does that also install them without the password? [20:57] BluesKaj - i mean, is that like a seperate package i need to install? this is 10.04 [20:57] i want updates to happen siliently in the background, download and install without authorization or warning. [20:57] petriborg2, open a terminal and type alsamixer , the use the asrrow keys to navigate and the M key unmute or mute [21:00] Hi [21:01] BluesKaj - i see ok, i've checked that, nothing is muted, but i don't see the hdmi line in the mixer, i do see a S/PDIF, S/PDIF D, and S/PDIF 1 line, but I'm not using those since its an integrated mobo [21:02] how2 do i get rid of that login window when this lappy comes out of suspend moce [21:02] mode [21:03] Hi [21:03] kish, System / Preferences / Screensaver - uncheck the Lock option [21:03] petriborg2, so the audio is going directly into the tv , no amps or receivers ? [21:03] kish, try unselected the optin lock computer when screen save is active from system>preferences>screensaver [21:04] BluesKaj - right directly in over the HDMI line, or thats the hope :-) [21:04] kish, oh sorry - not sure if that will work for "suspend" sorry... [21:06] petriborg2, ok is the pcm ctrl in alsa mixer turned up to 90% [21:06] emma: i believe that the "Install security updates without confirmations setting" just used the "Origins" listed in Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins setting of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades. [21:06] err alsamixer [21:07] BluesKaj - it was set to 80, but i've moved it up to 100 [21:07] hello [21:07] <^Jay2^> help needed here. I am installing ubuntu on my old desktop, livecd, gparted see's my ide harddrive (80gig) but when i tried installing lucid on it, in the Prepare Partition part, it doesn't see anything at all. ????? this is the first time i've encountered this. [21:08] petriborg2, was it turned up when you first opened alsamixer? [21:08] ZykoticK9, nope [21:08] kish, from "suspend" i doubt it's an option. good luck man. [21:08] ^jay2^: You are trying to install on the main hard drive, not an external one, right? [21:09] <^Jay2^> mrman208: yes. === aLiSs is now known as b0tnet [21:09] ZykoticK9, hahha thanks [21:09] ^jay2^: How large is the hard drive? [21:09] ^jay2^: In GB [21:09] <^Jay2^> mrman208: seagate 80gb [21:09] I have same drive [21:09] BluesKaj - it was turned up most of the way yeah, i did up it the rest of the way to no avail [21:09] On HP Minitower [21:10] And I installed Ubuntu with no problem [21:10] petriborg2, do you use the options in pulseaudio ? [21:10] <^Jay2^> Black_Prince: :(( it wont see mine, only when installing... using the livecd see's it :( [21:10] Black_Phantom, it's more a "controller" issue then just a HD issue (for detection i mean) [21:11] Maybe [21:11] ^Jay2^: Maybe Ubuntu doesn't like Seagate drives? [21:11] <^Jay2^> mrman208: lol [21:11] <^Jay2^> i really dont want to install xp on this box again [21:11] Are there any good alternatives to Rythmbox OTHER than VLC? [21:12] BluesKaj - yeah i've had very little problem with PA on this hardware, its always worked pretty well for me [21:12] With one main feature that I like in Rythmbox, the ability to play songs from an ipod without importing. [21:12] amarok [21:12] Seagate ST380011A works fine with Ubuntu [21:12] buttmonkey: I'll try it out, can you play songs straight from an iPod without importing? [21:12] BluesKaj - and i've checked PA too, nothing is muted and the volumes are all turned up in there too [21:13] New SATA drive, unseen by GUI. was advised to fdisk and lshw --> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5gL88jTh -- what should I do now? (I want to install Ubuntu on it.) [21:13] BluesKaj - i also note that PA shows when I play a movie or whatever that the "meter" is going and working, so as far as I can tell, it should in fact be coming out of the TV, but just... isn't [21:13] Has the ipod shuffle 3rd generation work with Banshee? I can sync music but when I play I am told "to sync shuffle with itunes" [21:13] I`d use rockbox if not for the fact my ipod is the only one it doesnt support (arghhh) [21:13] petriborg2, well, it may not be allowing a digital signal to the hdmi port [21:14] how make irc account [21:14] crap, pidgin always dies when I try to add a Skype acct [21:14] !register | root__ [21:14] root__: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[21:16] mrman208, with only using the "install" command - there shouldn't be. The programs are different, but just "installing" should be the same. [21:17] how to slove it [21:17] BluesKaj - i see :( [21:17] haresh: did you determine what video drivers you are running? " lshw -C video 2>/dev/null | grep driver " [21:17] is it possible to have updates download and install automatically without asking permission and in the background? [21:17] petriborg2, pulseaudio is merely another layer of audio processing and control for ppl with fancy audio cards , integrated cards don't benefit much from them IME and sometimes gum up the works [21:17] ok. I just was wondering because i use apt-get all the time and when I see aptitude used in tutorials i just substitute it with apt-get [21:18] thune3, configuration: driver=radeon latency=32 mingnt= [21:18] Is there any way to set up an AirPort Extreme with Ubuntu or with Mac OS X inside VirtualBox?

[21:18] emma: i believe that the "Install security updates without confirmations setting" just used the "Origins" listed in Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins setting of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades. That is, you have to add the sources you want automatically update to this variable, see http://blog.ezyang.com/2010/03/third-party-unattended-upgrade/ or https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/automatic-updates.html === seb__ is now known as Cappientes [21:19] mrman208, "apt-cache search FOO" no sudo required ;) [21:19] * mrman208 Is going to try out Amarok [21:19] gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_on_suspend false [21:19] that should do it [21:19] ZykoticK9: Sweet! I didn't know you could do that. Thanks! [21:19] thune3, it says configuration: driver=radeon latency=32 mingnt= [21:19] BluesKaj - ok, so you suggest then that I should remove pulse audio from the system i take it? [21:19] Thank god for /clear :P [21:20] kish, good find - thanks. === DGM is now known as _DGM_ [21:20] petriborg2, you could try without PA , just unnstall it (don't purge it)...if you want it back just install it again and it will retain your previous settings [21:21] I heard that Amarok is made for KDE, will it work under GNOME? [21:21] someone told me yesterday that installing ubuntu on my new drive would take 15 minutes. I't been hours (sob) because I cant see the new SATA drive (first time installing SATA on this IDE computer. Yes there is are SATA ports on the m'board.) [21:21] BluesKaj - what about the fact though that alsa didn't list the HDMI output in alsamixer though? [21:21] mrman208, yes KDE apps will run under Gnome (you'll probably have a lot of dependences to install though) [21:21] mrman208: it will, just pulls some more libs [21:21] haresh: so i *think* you have video card that fglrx does not support. (I could be wrong.) If true, that's unfortunately not a way to make things any better, as I was hoping.) [21:21] ZykoticK9: Oh yea, lots of em I just noticed when installing. === TannerF is now known as tannerf|bbl [21:22] ok [21:22] !sata [21:22] BluesKaj - running "aplay -L" i can see "hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0, HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI, HDMI Audio Output [21:22] tripelb-liveCD can GParded see your new drive?

Is the lag for all videos or just HD ones? [21:24] BluesKaj - why would PCM be the HDMI audio, because its the selected audio out destination selected in System>Preferences>Sound? [21:24] is there a way to change the colour of text in a tty? So that when I connect to my server the colour of the text is different so I know I am on the server quickly? [21:24] Black_Prince: OK I'll try gparted (I should do sudo gparted ?) [21:25] is Banshee any good?

Where can I find a Ubuntu 10.04 Driver [21:28] mrman208: I don't have any options besides 640x480. I am using a very old version of ubuntu and I want to also get actualizations, but I have another problem with that. [21:29] ubunt1: What resolution is your monitor? [21:29] ActionParsnip: send me a pointer if you determine it is the bees knees [21:29] petriborg2, with some integrtaed cards it's one or the other but not both , similar to windows vista [21:29] mrman208: 1024x768, but it used to run fine with 1280x760 in Windows. [21:30] ubunt1: Hmm.. I used to have that problem but usually it was a Driver that wasn't installed. [21:30] BluesKaj - hm - I found this page which suggested: "pcm.!default hdmi:Intel" in the .asoundrc - i could try the same, but change Intel for NVidia [21:30] mrman208: Do you think getting a driver from my motherboard for Linux coudl solve the problem? [21:30] petriborg2, in other words some cards allow digital or analog but not both simultaneously [21:31] how do i download skype using terminal [21:31] BluesKaj - WOOT check out this - I did "aplay -Dhdmi:NVidia -c2" and i've got happy sounds going to my speakers this way [21:31] anyone else expierencing connection problems with icq and pidgin right now except myself? [21:31] piero, sudo aptitude install skype [21:31] ubunt1: I don't really think so, I am not an expert on this by any means but I think it would be a problem with the graphics card, not the motherboard [21:31] BluesKaj - i have no idea why that works but uh :-) [21:32] mrman208: My graphic card is onboard. [21:32] ubunt1: Oh, then yes you could try. [21:32] petriborg2, good :) [21:32] <|tufftux|> I have pulseaudio and would like to get the line-in sound to come through the speakers [21:32] ubunt1: Or try running update manager and see if that works [21:33] mrman208: I tried, and wish I could get some updates, but I get errors there too. [21:33] ubunt1: What kind of errors> [21:33] *? [21:33] petriborg2, did you find that command on that page youwere refrerring to earlier [21:33] BluesKaj - yeah i did [21:34] anyone have the info on how to re-enable scroll support for the desktop switcher as well as on the desktop?

[21:35] BluesKaj - got sound now ! [21:35] ubunt1: Try running 'sudo apt-get update' in terminal (without the quotes of course) [21:36] mrman208: Loads of errors and nothing downloaded. I think it's happening because I tries to download from the br.archive.ubuntu.com server, hence my system language. [21:37] thune3: ended up adding: export PS1="\e[0;36m[\u@\h \W]\$ \e[m " to the bottom of ~/.bashrc.

[21:39] ubunt1: sure, use software sources in the system menu and choose a different server [21:39] ubunt1: Yes! I just found something, go to system > administration > software sources, and click Download From, and choose other and go to United States and find one there [21:40] Wassup ?

[21:51] ActionParsnip: That was my previous work around. So that is a normal solution?

[22:00] idrankwhat: make sure the right uuid is defined in /etc/fstab for your root partition [22:01] hi [22:01] duffydack: You must be a writer for Grey's Anatomy. [22:01] shawn___: Hardware RAID? [22:01] hardware only? [22:01] shawn___: there is LVM, and RAID. [22:01] just making a probe, i'm no tired. See you! [22:01] ActionParsnip I am new to Linux I do not know how to check these things [22:02] you can try to do RAID 5 on a 3 drive set using mdadm [22:02] shawn___: If you want the three drives to appear as one bigger one to the OS, it'll have to be hardware. Or, if you're OK w/ software-based support, btrfs has something that's arguably better than LVM. [22:02] spinningcompass, tensorpudding I wondered about RAID but don't know much about it. [22:02] wont an LVM do it? [22:02] but it's not efficient [22:02] shawn___: use LVM [22:02] <_klk_> hi all, i have a system that i can only access over ssh (not physically). it's running debian 4.0 right now. how would i install ubuntu server on it? [22:02] LVM will give you what you want, but it won't provide any redundancy [22:02] btfs is not quite ready yet [22:02] ActionParsnip: LVM will make it appear as one chunk to OS? [22:02] duffydack: Fair point. [22:03] spinningcompass, slow as hell on my maverick alpha :) [22:03] ActionParsnip It is on my desktop computer.

I guess I jumped at the chance to use something that didn't involve either. [22:03] well in comparison to ext4. [22:03] I am using wubi to install ubuntu. When it installs ubuntu, ubuntu can not connect to the internet through my wireless connection, the laptop says it is connected though [22:04] Thanks all. I'll check out URL collabra . [22:04] I tried installing ubuntu 2 times [22:04] idrankwhat: you need to make sure the right UUID is in the fstab or the mount will fail [22:04] RAID-Z is pretty nice, but you might want to consider a different OS. [22:04] Where can I find an 8.10 installation cd? [22:04] (Well, iso) [22:04] Peter|laptop: download the ISO and MD5 test it, then install offline from that [22:04] !download | Baughn [22:04] Baughn: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Lucid, and help keeping the servers' load low!

[22:04] ActionParsnip, thanks [22:04] Actionparsnip I have no idea what you are talking about [22:05] ActionParsnip: I'm aware that it's been EOL'd. I still need to install it. [22:05] Baughn: just letting you know, i assume nothing [22:05] ActionParsnip: Okay, so you don't know. Hm, maybe one of the mirrors will still have it.. [22:06] idrankwhat: if you boot to live CD you can run: sudo blkid you can then mount the Ubuntu root partition and read the fstab file [22:06] Baughn: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/ [22:06] Thanks! [22:06] Baughn: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/ [22:06] ActionParsnip: :) [22:06] Baughn: I used the releases link, then manually changed the url [22:07] guntbert: I am downloading the PC intel, the first version available... Is that the right one? I have an intel and it was originally a PC... [22:07] ActionParsnip OK, If I boot on the CD can you talk me through it? [22:07] idrankwhat: the UUID for the root partition must be exactly the same as the one in the fstab file [22:07] guntbert: Meaning Windows, by PC... I suppose. [22:07] idrankwhat: i just gave you all you need [22:07] What was the name of that USB-disk <- iso-image converter? [22:07] idrankwhat: you can mount the partition from the places menu [22:08] usb-creator? [22:08] ubunt1: yes, the desktop version is what you want, be sure to md5sum check the iso before burning it [22:08] guntbert: How do I do that? [22:08] !md5 [22:08] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:08] collabra: it looks like LVM requires RAID, correct? [22:08] I will look for a places menu once it reboots [22:09] What is the command for enabling E-mail Sending on SET ( Back | Track 4F) ? [22:09] ubunt1: see what ubottu said above [22:09] shawn___: Ur trying to tie 3 drives together? [22:09] !backtrack | Bouchii [22:09] Bouchii: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [22:10] yes. 3 small ones into one space that I don't have to divvy up myself when saving files... collabra [22:10] shawn___: i've done it a bunch of times.... you need to manually partition.... [22:10] Well, you see, there are no partitions here and I will be running this ISO from this ancient Linux version itself... Will that work? [22:11] There was some lvm gui tool once ago.. cant remember its name [22:11] ubunt1: clarify what you mean 'running this iso' ? [22:11] I want to completely remove gnome from the system, I have installed xubuntu, I have seen a page that gave the apt-get line to remove it all, anyone have that link? [22:11] Yo [22:11] shawn___: you need a boot partition roughly 100 mb to 200 mb... [22:11] collabra: ok. [22:11] shawn___: then tie the three drives together with raid 0 [22:12] Dr_Willis: Well, yeah. I am supposed to burn this ISO, right? [22:12] collabra: RAID 0 would be hardware required or soft? [22:12] shawn___: lvm the raid drive... then partition the lvm for a root and swap [22:12] ubunt1: you check the iso, burn it then boot from it [22:12] shawn___: soft [22:12] ubunt1, Yes you burn iso o disk's [22:12] ubunt1: one normally burns an iso to disk. or uses that usb-disk-creator or unetbootin tool to make a bootable flash drive from it. [22:12] collabra: you make it sound like not too bad of a process. [22:13] Dr_Willis, he`s on feisty :) [22:13] duffydack: so? :P [22:13] shawn___: it's pretty simple,... just follow the above directions,... easy peezy japaneezzy [22:13] Dr_Willis, no usb creator afaik...maybe my brain is gone.

[22:15] ubunt1: yes, the current iso brings that (and Dr_Willis is not paying attention :-)) [22:15] growisofs [22:15] shawn___: dont forget to make the boot partition bootable === rgs is now known as rgs_ [22:15] ubunt1, no problem === rgs_ is now known as rgs__ [22:15] Need help my wireless internet stopped working today and iwlist scan is returning no results at all, was working fine for 2 days prior.

[22:16] grekkos, are you piggybacking on your neighbors wifi connection ? [22:17] Hello. [22:17] SimonSayez: no, but if I scan I should be able to see networks other than my own [22:17] collabra: are you sure you pasted correct URL to me? I see thread about SATA problems. [22:17] I was wondering what is the best way to fix overscan on the hdtvs [22:17] ubunt1, I`d use gujins bootloader and cat if I were to burn to usb, myself... [22:17] SimonSayez: mine is hidden [22:17] grekkos, depends if they are broadcasting [22:17] SimonSayez: I can see them from this computer. So yes, I should be able to see them on the other one as well [22:17] Xase: i noticed my nvidia-settings tool has a 'overscan' setting/buttons now that adjusted mine. [22:18] almoxarife: i think this is the page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce I can't speak to problems you might encounter.

[22:19] Xase: you may need to form an xorg.conf file to get a suitable display [22:19] SimonSayez: i've rebooted the ubuntu machine several times [22:19] Alright... =/ I was lightly familiar with using xrandr with my ps3, but I hear that's not a good thing to do.

[22:20] shawn___: np,... take it easy [22:20] and does xorg.conf still go in /etc/X11/ ? [22:20] grekkos, you must have changed file permissions by mistake [22:20] SimonSayez: file permissions of what files [22:20] I broke my 1410 Aspire's screen and turned it into a media pc :O [22:21] grekkos, ubuntu should be able to detect your wireless router but you changed a lot on your system from the default install [22:21] SimonSayez: I installed 2 days ago, I have changed nothing. I installed only VirtualBox and Windows XP [22:22] Ok I have a ? about security....running Lucid firestarter has logged like 8 intrusion attempts...From China...so how do I make sure they are not getting in?? [22:22] grekkos: you just said you were compiling drivers and other things.. thats 'changeing' things.. in my book. [22:22] Dr_Willis: yes. When the drivers stopped working i tried to compile a new one [22:22] Dr_Willis, Exactly! [22:22] Dr_Willis, agreed. [22:22] Dr_Willis: following a guide i found on the ubuntu forums [22:23] grekkos: the sta driver did not work for my wireless cards here. alsio ui had issues with the 'switch' on my laptop not turning on the wireless.. [22:23] Dr_Willis: again it worked for 2 days, today it stopped working and none of the gui settings were helping [22:23] Hello, i saw few weeks ago a web site with portable software for linux (packaged like for osx, all in one binary), anyone know the site ? [22:23] So... best way to go about testing modes for my tv? [22:23] I'm trying to play a conference call in .wma format, given to me by my project manager. I try to play it in various players (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), and I get a can't play error with a reference to windows speech processor. Any ideas? [22:23] I have booted by disk and it doesn't recognize my wireless mouse. I don't know if I have a wired mouse in the house. [22:23] What other methods of security can I take to prevent Intrusions or is firestarter pretty safe?? [22:23] Dr_Willis: the switch on this computer is the F2 button, I'm wondering if that had something to do with it, but I don't know how to switch it so that the F2 button acts like an F2 button and not a wifi switch [22:23] hi [22:23] grekkos: for one odd laptop i had. I had to boot to windows.. turn on the wioreless. then reboot to linux. then the switch started working.. [22:23] Dr_Willis: I've tried turning that on and off but no luck [22:24] scince dont know when i can't ajust brightness. how can i fix that ?? 10.4 [22:24] Dr_Willis: any idea how to switch the keyboard settings for that? Cause I might do a clean install and then try to fix the keyboard so it's not so easy to accidentally disable it [22:24] grekkos: did you turn it on in windows? I have this weird HP. thats just quirky. [22:24] Dr_Willis: the windows is a virtual machine [22:25] grekkos: i dont see how a 'virtual machine' figures into this... [22:25] Tempus_: do you have any services running for them to "get in to"? [22:25] Dr_Willis: there is no windows. [22:25] Tempus_, you should be ok unless you added some server software like apache, ftp etc.. try netstat -antuwp | egrep "(^[^t])|(^tcp.*LISTEN)" [22:25] Dr_Willis: Ubuntu 10.04 only, with a Windows XP Virtual machine [22:25] Dr_Willis: you said turn it on in windows [22:25] grekkos: so you have no windows to boot to.. there goes that idea then.. [22:26] thune3: Not that I am aware of not doing anything special I am still learning [22:26] ive no other ideas. except perhaops try it in some live cd/distros see if it can work in any of them [22:26] How to figure out the best mode? use xrandr, and thn append the correct mode to an xorg.conf? [22:27] duffydack: what will that command do?? [22:27] Tempus_, test for listening port [22:28] Tempus_, you will have 'some' internal stuff, which can be ignored. [22:28] could anyone at least point me to a good thread, al the ones found are crap. [22:29] Tempus_: you could check shields up service from grc.com (or other trusted port scanning service). If you don't have any ports open, there's nothing for intruders to "get in to". [22:29] duffydack: is there any extra measures I can take to insure they dont get in?? [22:29] Tempus_, also, fo you have a router/nat or connected direct to the net? [22:29] Tempus_, switch off.. [22:29] Xase, if you want to auto-generate an xorg file see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [22:29] duffydack: for the time being I am connected direct thru eth [22:30] Tempus_, they need something to 'get in' to first, so make sure nothing is listening. [22:30] ok [22:30] Tempus_, there are online port scanners also to try. [22:30] ZykoticK9 I also need to know the correct mode =/ [22:30] Tempus_, but linux+firewall is sufficient. [22:31] bonjour [22:31] duffydack: checking grc.com right now [22:31] !fr [22:31] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [22:31] how can i fix brightness ajustment in 10.4 ? [22:31] * Xase flusters about... [22:31] brb [22:31] http://www.allomcdo.be/deviensmcexpert/reports/_fr/report_vote.php?id=nejkcb3yj [22:31] http://www.allomcdo.be/deviensmcexpert/reports/_fr/report_vote.php?id=nejkcb3yj [22:32] http://www.allomcdo.be/deviensmcexpert/reports/_fr/report_vote.php?id=nejkcb3yj [22:32] anyone know how to make my F-Keys function like FKeys and not laptop functions like wifi, brightness, volume, etc? [22:32] grekkos, a bios function usually. [22:32] Ubuntu has really let me down :( [22:32] duffydack: can I send you the log file and have you see if you can figure out who is trying to get in ?? [22:32] duffydack: ok i'll check it out, thanks [22:32] Tempus_: you have to select shields up from the "services" menu at the top. [22:32] mattwj2002: What happened? [22:32] duffydack: i was thinking maybe it was in the kernel or something [22:33] grekkos, for me, its bios [22:33] there is a bug in ubuntu that has not been resolved in at least 2 version if not more [22:33] that is unacceptable [22:33] :( [22:33] duffydack: do you have any experience with wifi related issues too? [22:33] grekkos: Wifi on/off, brightness, volume are usually in BIOS because they're OS-independent. [22:33] it is a big bug too [22:33] mattwj202: That's unfortunate. What's the bug? [22:33] Bahl.. [22:34] file a bug on the bug. ? [22:34] Okay so now I have xconf [22:34] Now how to get the correct mode? [22:34] Tempus_, I wouldnt worry about it.. make sure nothing is sat waiting for a knock knock and you`ll be right. [22:34] grekkos, what in particular [22:34] mattwj2002: dont use ubuntu then if its so appauling... [22:34] the keyboard is all messed up when using tightvncserver to connect to a box over vnc [22:34] ActionParsnip: Oh, come now. :) That's not very helpful. [22:34] duffydack: my wifi stopped working after 2 days for no apparent reason and now it won't even detect any networks when i try scanning with iwlist [22:35] I am sorry ActionParsnip it is a good OS one of the best versions of Linux :) [22:35] grekkos: If you turned off the computer, waited half an hour, and turned it back on, did that fix the problem? It could be a heating issue, a bug in the kernel driver, ... [22:35] if not the best! [22:35] grekkos, sudo lspci -vv | grep Network [22:35] I am surprised it hasn't been fixed [22:35] mattwj2002: depends on needs, as a first step into linux its great [22:35] mattwj2002: It can be hard to track down some bugs. [22:36] it just seems so noticeable [22:36] mattwj2002: ive never seen the issue. so it dosent seem to affect everyone the same. [22:36] mattwj2002: Perhaps it's worth contacting the individual or individuals responsible for supporting that particular piece of the puzzle. [22:36] okay [22:36] mattwj2002: so i would say its not that noticeable. [22:36] My wireless mouse doesn't work when I boot off the CD any ideas anyone? I don't think I have a wired mouse anywhere. I would have to go buy one I guess. [22:36] mattwj2002: whats the bug anyhoo? [22:36] mattwj2002: Often, a given component has a PoC (point of contact). He/she will want to hear from you. [22:37] mattwj2002: theres other vncsewrvers out there. and you could always try that NX . its MUCH faster then vnc i found [22:37] sure I would be glad to help [22:37] idrankwhat: Occam's Razor. (I hope I'm spelling it correctly.) By a wired mouse. :) [22:37] duffydack: awesome I found the function keys option in the bios thanks a ton [22:37] mattwj2002: why do you need vnc? what do you do when you get connected? [22:37] duffydack: ok well grc showed all green as far as stealth goes but replied to ping request...how do i turn that off or modify what the ping request replies to?? [22:37] duffydack: I'm thinking it might've gotten switched off by mistake and it's not really turning back on or something, but i'm not sure I'll try the command you gave in a minute [22:37] because it is a remote box in my apartment [22:38] Tempus_: replying to ping is not that big a security issue. :) unless you want to be truely paranoid. [22:38] Tempus_, thats a setting in some file somewhere I cant remember, maybe someone else can remember for me :) [22:38] mattwj2002: sure, but what do you do in the vnc session? [22:38] I like to work on it without having to sit right in front of it [22:38] Hi. What device is the cdrom/dvd drive at? [22:38] normally, that is [22:38] Tempus_, ping is nothing to fear [22:38] what do you mean what do I want in it? [22:38] mattwj2002: can you see the screen on it friom where you sit? Syngery is good in such a case. [22:38] sysctl.conf one of the ip settings? [22:38] mattwj2002: what do you do on the desktop once you get connected via vnc? [22:38] Dr_Willis: ok ty [22:38] suwhats the name of the tool that configures vinagre settings btw while we are here. [22:39] well I can use x11vnc instead that works [22:39] Tempus_: you did scan your pc. and not the router? :) [22:39] Tempus_, doesnt your firewall have something for it? [22:39] but I prefer tightvncserver [22:39] it use to work! [22:39] duffydack: BCM4312 [22:39] Bye, going back to Windows. Guess I'm stuck again. Been 4 days trying to get my desktop to work with Ubuntu. [22:39] duffydack: I will check but I am running firestarter [22:39] mattwj2002: if you tell me what you do I may be able to suggest more graceful solutions than VNC [22:39] grekkos, not again... ok and what driver you using [22:39] I noticed it is only an issue in Ubuntu not a problem with mythbuntu [22:39] * duffydack so many bcm4312 problems lately.. why [22:40] duffydack: I was using BCM at first, but when it stopped working I switchd to STA and that didn't work so I compiled another one [22:40] hi [22:40] mattwj2002: i saw a vnc called 'tigervnc' the other day thats 'newer' then some of the others.. but dident try it yet. [22:40] grekkos, let me guess, you have a dell ? [22:40] mattwj2002: if you are on a local lan, you could just ssh -X otherbox, and run whatever apps you want to. [22:40] duffydack: yes [22:40] grekkos, I figured from the bios :) same as me [22:40] duffydack: :D [22:40] well I use tightvncserver to create a seperate desktop session [22:40] mattwj2002: if you are managing torrents (for example) transmission has a web gui [22:40] grekkos, remove whatever driver you have [22:41] I like it because it keep it running [22:41] grekkos, use STA. it works, simple as that [22:41] Anyone good on figuring out proper modes for hdtvs? [22:41] duffydack: could a virtualbox install be affecting it? cause i donno why it just stopped working [22:41] I don't use torrents [22:41] mattwj2002: me too but there are much slimmer and sleeker ways to access stuff instead of vnc [22:41] mattwj2002: its an example as yu havent told me what apps you run on the desktop [22:41] grekkos, newer kernel maybe and not being loaded..shouldnt be a problem tho [22:41] mattwj2002: so what are you doing on the remote box? word processing? web surfing? playing pacman? [22:42] grekkos, dkms should 'see to it' [22:42] The guy wants to use vnc, just help with it, instead of persuading him not to. [22:42] duffydack: i was pretty sure it was working after I installed the updates [22:42] amen, xase [22:42] correct Dr_Willis [22:42] hello world, i want to set firefox as the default web browser,update-alternatives --config x-www-browser doesn't work [22:42] "Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I lift my arm above my head." "Well, then, don't lift your arm above your head." [22:42] duffydack: what do I do with dkms [22:42] grekkos, hmm.. test that theory then and uninstall vbox [22:42] There are so many aspects I want to learn aboout It gets overwhelming trying to figure out where to start??? from security and encryption, to networking and programming are all areas of interest for me [22:43] How do I change the default font color uin ubuntu? Because of my theme, EVERY thing on my computer (openoffice, gmail, etc.) is set (by default I guess) to grey (not black)? [22:43] mattwj2002: freenx will give much better responce then vnc. Im slowly getting my home lan set up to do that. It has some other neat featres as well. But its harder to setup. :( [22:43] mattwj2002: setupa shared folder for your files then run the word processor and access the files on the share instead of running vnc [22:43] grekkos, you wont lose any of your vm`s.. you can install later. [22:43] duffydack: alright not a bad idea let me see [22:43] I wish NX had a ipod app. [22:43] guys I want access to a full gnome session [22:44] full access to the desktop [22:44] I use this vnc session to convert files for wikisource :) [22:44] grekkos, I have vbox with sta driver btw. [22:44] duffydack: hmm [22:44] mattwj2002: just giving examples how to use lighter options which will run faster [22:45] mattwj2002, I'm here :P [22:45] vnc is light enough [22:45] duffydack: I'm pretty sure it was working after I installed that, but maybe not after I installed the VM itself not that that should affect it [22:45] mattwj2002: NX can do that. actually if its just a linux -> linux lan setup. you could use xdmcp also for that. [22:45] lightness is not the issue [22:45] mattwj2002: not compared to other solutions [22:45] the bug is [22:45] grekkos, but I`m not sure how much you have done to your system with this driver that driver [22:45] lightness means it runs faster [22:45] mattwj2002: the bug you havent really given a bug # for that ive noticed. [22:45] duffydack: yeah there's nothing on it still really I'll just try a reinstall and see [22:45] duffydack: if this doesn't work [22:46] it is not an install issue [22:46] I have noticed this with multiple boxes and multiple installs [22:46] I have seen a bug on this [22:46] one moment [22:46] grekkos, I know vbox doesnt allow you to use your wifi as a network if you have dhcp address w/ mac filtering.. like, your vm`s network wont work.... [22:47] duffydack: It's not my computer I actually wanted to keep the windows VM disconnected from the internet [22:47] duffydack: she only really needs MS Office [22:47] grekkos, ok. [22:48] btarik: gnome maintains it's own prefered browser which you can set with System->Preferences->Preferred applications. There is also gnome-www-browser "alternative", but I don't if it is used. [22:48] hi [22:48] hi @ all [22:48] how to fix broken ubuntu? [22:48] xorg does not start [22:49] after update [22:49] robotti^ I know the solution [22:49] mattwj2002: you know? [22:49] video drivers probably [22:49] I have ran into that [22:50] hi, I have file test1.txt, test2.txt, ...., test700.txt. I want to list the file test1, ..., test150.txt for example. How to write the command? thanks. I try the command "ls test[1-150].txt", but it doesn't work. [22:50] mattwj2002: yes. it is trying to use nvidia hardware with nvidia drivers [22:50] did you get a new version of the kernel by chance? [22:50] maybe [22:50] toader: you mean show all file names on one line? [22:50] mattwj2002: it just say, must reboot [22:50] and after reboot I cannot use X anymore [22:51] yeah try rebooting into recovery mode [22:51] and after that? [22:51] for the most recent kernel [22:51] and reinstall your drivers [22:51] How do I add Firestarter to startup Items [22:51] toader: ls text*.txt [22:51] mattwj2002: how that helps? [22:52] ActionParsnip: with enough files taht can overload teh command line buffer for bash i recall. (command line too long) [22:52] mattwj2002: where I can chose recovery mode? [22:52] da jia hao you kan dong de ma ? [22:52] ActionParsnip: i was thinking 'echo *.txt' but that has the same issue.. :) [22:52] because that'll create video modules for new kernel [22:52] it is the second option [22:52] mattwj2002: on boot? [22:52] Hello, I just attempted to install ubuntu using a CD and wubi, both times I can not connect to the internet even though my laptop says I have full signal [22:53] correct [22:53] you select it with grub [22:53] I think it is called recovery [22:53] mattwj2002: I have usb keyboard, and computer cannot use usb keyboard until kernel is booted. [22:53] again [22:53] I iterate... [22:53] oh crap [22:53] no ps2 keyborad? [22:53] Best way to determine correct mode for hdtv? [22:53] robotti^: ive seen that issue also. In the BIOS there may be a 'legacy' usb setting you need to change. [22:53] *keyboard [22:53] Xase: read your manual [22:53] oh yeah that too :) [22:53] that is quite old computer [22:54] I dead rtm. [22:54] rtfm* [22:54] It's the TV itself. [22:54] I don' [22:54] tt hav a manual [22:54] I bought it second hand. [22:54] Xase: then that will give resolutions and refresh rathes which you can accommodate in an xorg.conf [22:54] mattwj2002: I just try with older kernel? [22:54] ... [22:54] No it wount. [22:54] Xase: why not? [22:55] that will work [22:55] too [22:55] My tv is the manual... it turns on and works, that's all I know. [22:55] but you don't want that as a permanent solution [22:55] I am about to starttweaking around with xrandr in a minute or so. [22:55] Xase: then go online and see the refresh rates and resolutions it can do [22:55] I think the older version of the kernel will still work [22:55] but..... [22:56] ultimately you need to reinstall the drivers for the newer kernel [22:56] second hand... the only thing with it was the power cord [22:56] no labels... [22:56] so no model number [22:57] mattwj2002: can I reinstall gpu drivers on under newer kernel? === qwertyu123 is now known as globi [22:57] Xase: the model number will be on a sticker no the back [22:57] Hi. What is the easiest way to access the x-server of my ubuntu machine with a windows client? so far I tried vnc4server but I only seem to get a shell window and not the whole desktop when I'm connecting. [22:57] *on [22:57] gfx0: putty + xming [22:57] yes you can [22:58] do you have the file saved? [22:58] the installation file I mean === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] [22:58] gfx0: will allow you to x forward, you can launch apps from the putty session and they will appear on the local system [22:58] for the gpu [22:58] what does the command "finger" do and how is it used properly [22:59] mattwj2002: i am not sure [22:59] okay how about this [22:59] no labels... no sticker [22:59] reload your computer [22:59] Tempus_: man finger [22:59] Tempus_: The finger utility displays information about the system users. [22:59] hey guys, for Some reason Ubuntu is using too much ram, http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3616/ubuntu.jpg what can i kill from these processes? [23:00] mattwj2002: maybe some good sleep will help [23:00] pick the third option [23:00] that should be your old kernel [23:00] :) [23:00] old on... calling the guy who sold it to me. [23:00] woah: do you use evolution? [23:00] mattwj2002: if I boot with my old kernel, it should work? [23:00] its atc p4c2 panasonic viera [23:00] im afraid to kill anythibg sensitive [23:00] it should work but [23:00] TC-p42c2* [23:00] mattwj2002: X should start on boot? [23:01] I am not sure [23:01] ActionParsnip, the mail client? [23:01] woah: yes [23:01] you have to use that to download you drivers to get your new kernel going [23:01] :) [23:01] no, i dont [23:01] let me know if it does [23:01] or doesn't [23:01] Cant find the stuff... [23:01] Stupid google. [23:02] it;s got a 600 hz refresh rate is all I know. [23:02] Also.. all the information says 1280x720 but hats wrong [23:02] because my ps3 and xbox detect it as 1080p [23:02] but the overscan is gay. [23:03] robotti^: any luck? [23:03] woah: theres a lot of evolution going on there, remove it. One of the evolution packages is a dep of gnome-panel so watch that [23:03] mattwj2002: maybe I should find some cd-r and burn ubuntu there and reinstall ubuntu [23:03] Isn't there used to be a manual xconfi? [23:03] xconfig* [23:03] where it allows you to select resoloution and refresh rates? [23:03] it didnt work? [23:03] ActionParsnip: does it only apply to users in a current chatroom or can it be applied to an IP [23:04] no need robotti^ [23:04] ActionParsnip, which one? [23:04] it is fixable [23:04] mattwj2002: maybe on next morning :) [23:04] I am too tired to fix [23:04] fix my sytem [23:04] system [23:04] did your old kernel work? [23:04] typing errors too [23:04] :) [23:04] okay [23:05] well I can't say if I'll be around but someone should be able to help you [23:05] mattwj2002: I cannot boot with old kernel, because I cannot find my ps2 keyboard [23:05] tell them you need to reinstall your graphics drivers! [23:05] oh yeah [23:05] that is right [23:05] woah: it's evolution-data-server-common. you have to keep that [23:05] you need to go into bios so you can use your keyboard [23:05] but [23:05] Tempus_: ? [23:06] if you need to go to bed there is always in the morning :) [23:06] mattwj2002: I am also quite tired for fixing my Ubuntu installation [23:06] mattwj2002: after good sleep I can do it [23:06] okay :) [23:06] can xorg utilize my 600hz refresh rate? [23:06] have a good night! [23:06] bye robotti^ [23:06] :) [23:07] ActionParsnip: well my ? is say for example I am in this chatroom would it only work to "finger" users in this room or does it work to "finger" anyone anywhere...sorry I am still learning [23:07] woah: on a system with 256MB physical memory (is that right?) having spamassasin clamav amavis and all that other virus stuff running seems pretty heavy. I might stop those services if you are in a present pinch. [23:07] Tempus_: i believe its for systems on a lan [23:08] thune3: you can finger anyone from your terminal [23:08] thune3, my dedicated box is currently running several web services, including snort and spamassasin, without heavy usage. Are you sure it is those processess? [23:09] thune3, i dont mind shutting them down as long as it doesnt affect the system.. i wont have physical access to it for couple of weeks [23:09] so safe to kill clamav? [23:09] ActionParsnip: so its an internal program to find users on a network...i.e a big company?? [23:09] no [23:10] clamav sucks [23:10] why would you use that? [23:10] woah: you'll lose live file checks [23:10] woah, depends, are you running email off of this box? [23:10] no im not.. i was at some point though [23:10] Because the only reason you should be running clamav is to make sure you aren't passing on windows viruses. [23:10] Tempus_: yeah man, you finger client systems to see who's logged on [23:11] ActionParsnip, i didnt get what you mean [23:11] ActionParsnip: ok cool ty [23:11] rocode, no im not.. i was at some point though [23:12] woah, then I would recommend not running services you don't have an immediate use for, unless you are passing files, such as attachments, from this box. [23:12] howdy all [23:12] woah: depending on how they were started (upstart/init.d), you could just stop the services 'stop servicename' for upstart, or /etc/init.d/servicescript stop . === love5 is now known as jackmcfly [23:12] Can someone help me to set my DNS server on my Ubuntu vps?

[23:17] why this room is so quite [23:17] * spinningcompass notes that e e cummings will never get decent technical support online [23:17] e66: its not. :) [23:18] e66: use the package manager tools and see what you have installed. or check the file name/# in your lib dirs [23:18] !find libcairo [23:18] Found: libcairo-directfb2, libcairo-directfb2-dev, libcairo-perl, libcairo2, libcairo2-dbg (and 10 others) [23:19] Anyone know what would cause the wifi to give out in 10.04 on a netbook while downloading semi-large files? Just did a fresh install and the updates are trying to download... it downloads about 30-40mb then the wifi dc's and then reconnects... >.> [23:19] !info libcairo2 [23:19] libcairo2 (source: cairo): The Cairo 2D vector graphics library.

[23:20] Dr_Willis++ [23:20] for instance changing the background alls gnome-appearance-properties [23:20] e66: thats the version in the repos.. the version yopu have - MAY not be the lastest or same [23:21] or you can call gnome-display-properties... [23:21] whats the one for remote connections? [23:21] fidelix_: if your server acquires DNS servers using DHCP, resolv.conf will be overwritten next time it acquires a release. if you want to permanently add custom servers, add them using prepend lines in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf .. [23:21] Dr_Willis: I used the aptitude command. [23:21] its not present in my menu as im using unr [23:21] vnc has some config files in /etc/ to set its vnc defaultx Xase - but it depends on which vncserver you are using i recall. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:21] Xase: you are refering to the GNOME vnc built in server feature? [23:22] Well whats the default app that vinagre uses to connect that shows up in the admin menu? [23:22] us3rX: pastebin: lshw -C network [23:22] Xase: that would be 'vino' i recall [23:22] I guess... whatever vinagre uses [23:22] not on gnome- so i cant double check. === Zeike is now known as brandonj [23:22] Plus i dont thinkl its in the normal gnome menus either. [23:23] no there is no vino. [23:23] ilovefairuz; one sec. [23:23] It was in9.10 [23:23] thats how i even know about vinagre. [23:23] it is available on my desktop but that's in disrpair [23:23] so i cannot check [23:23] theres a gui that configures remote desktop settings that was available in at least 9.10 [23:24] !enter | Xase [23:24] Xase: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:24] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/4fsJKr8B [23:25] ilovefairuz: u did not understood also. [23:25] I have a VPS, hosting several websites. [23:25] Sorry... I'm unched ove in front of my dresser and in trepiating pain from being hunched over [23:25] These websites have to be found somehow. [23:25] And i'm gonna need bind or buy a DNS hosting for that [23:25] fidelix_: do you want to map domains to different sites hosted on the VPS? [23:25] I cant even see what I'm typing on the creen [23:25] Yes. [23:25] is there any kde front end for GIT, something like Kdesvn? [23:26] Even if it was only 1 domain, i would still need bind [23:26] join #joomla [23:27] Xase: command seems to be vino-perferances here [23:27] us3rX: i've seen someone overcome a similar problem with ath5k by installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [23:27] us3rX: YMMV see http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download [23:27] fidelix_: depends on what server you're using, if you're using apache, use virtualhosts, lighttpd has a couple of modules to do it, i usually use mod_simple_vhost [23:27] thune3: i'll try that thanks =) [23:27] True. [23:28] But what about mx records? [23:28] wildcard subdomains? === Kieran2 is now known as KDemonic [23:28] my ubuntu 10.04 freezes on bootup, just gets to the ubuntu splash with all of the "dots" filled in, then won't continue? [23:28] Not possible only with apache [23:28] Hmm [23:28] fidelix_: you should install a web interface to manage the server like webmin and it will handle apache configuration [23:28] Lemme check that dr [23:28] Dr_Willis, [23:28] I know how to configure apache [23:28] hello erveryone. im using ubuntu server and have an error with python. im not sure though, where to go with this error. can you help me? a program i wrote in python worked for several years, now it produces the following error: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: free(): invalid pointer: 0x08e18de0 *** [23:28] Well, i dont use it anyway === TheEskimo_ is now known as TheEskimo [23:29] I use nginx, and i have several sites working already on my server [23:29] <_DGM_> ilovefairuz: webmin is not officially supported here. And i know it wont work out of the box, you'll have to modify some config stuff to make things work. Most likely not all modules will work [23:29] raazi o un problema [23:29] o la cairo dock [23:29] The problem is, mx records dont work, and some people on some zones cant access my site. Cuz i'm using a free dns hosting at freedns.ws [23:30] è attorno mi fà tuttno nere [23:30] fidelix_: if you want a simple easy to configure DNS server, use dnsmasq, otherwise, use bind but that's if you need a DNS server at all, you could just point all the domains to the same IP from the registrar [23:30] prima non lo faceva [23:30] adesso si [23:30] <_DGM_> vincy: english please... [23:30] Not that simple ilovefairuz. [23:30] _DGM_: well I don't use it, but I was mentioning it as one possible way to configure servers graphically [23:30] can someone help me with my question? [23:30] <_DGM_> yep and it works alright, just not out of the box right away :) [23:31] as i said... i need wildcard subdomains, i need mx records for all domains. [23:31] <_DGM_> though i think the dns module works fine [23:31] 0Sweet thanks DR_willis [23:31] fidelix_: then use bind [23:31] Now I canuse iTeleport on my ipod to connect. [23:31] Or so I hope [23:31] Now it's stuck on authenticating [23:31] OK. Could you please help me setting bind? [23:31] welcome [23:32] list film sever [23:32] Or point me to a cheap&good dns hosting [23:33] DR_willis... you thankfully are the on;y person helped me with anything to day. [23:33] Now thanks to you... one object of my desire is complete [23:33] I can now control ubuntu with my ipod. [23:33] fidelix_: no need for either, simply use a web management interface to save your time, sure there are few alternatives to cpanel [23:34] I have webmin installed, but i still dont know how to configure bind. [23:34] fidelix_: theres entire boosk written on using/configuring bind.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:35] fidelix_: you expect us here in IRC to give you a 'configure bind in 10 sec' summary? or what excactly? === tannerf|bbl is now known as TannerF [23:35] I want my sites to work and thats all, i dont need to manage a hosting corp so i dont need to read a fu**** book. === Guest14458 is now known as hellkater [23:35] fidelix_: i dont even know why youa re using bind at all. [23:36] I did a dist-upgrade on ubuntu server, and it said mdadm broke, when I try to reinstall/reconfigure mdadm, it just gives me errors. I kind of need mdadm to boot off my raid array, is there a way to fix it? [23:36] How do I fix the GRUB error "no such partition" upon boot? Please help me, I have Ubuntu and Win 7! [23:36] So, why should i use Dr_Willis? [23:36] *what should i use. [23:36] fidelix_: why are you needing it? what are you doing thasts so special you need your own dns server? [23:36] !pm | Jinxzs [23:36] Jinxzs, please see my private message [23:36] Dr_Willis: i have a VPS hosting package. And i host several sites of mine in it. [23:37] For each of these sites, i need wildcard subdomain functionality, and MX records for each of them [23:37] This is not possible with any free dns provider nor with direct IP from registar [23:37] sounds like you may be needing to read some docs on bind then. Theres also proberly a bind specif channel. [23:38] Dude, setting a bind server cant be that hard. I did it once but one of my sites remained inaccessible but the main worked just fine. [23:40] sweet i am now typing froNo suggestions on how to discovrr the correct mode for my tv? i cannot find anythi g out about this tv a d according to the internet my tv is only cqpable of 720 which is incorrext [23:40] list server film [23:42] what are the chances of me catching a virus using ub [23:42] slim to none [23:43] anyone here using x11vnc, I would like to know how to set it up so that it runs as a service on the remote system [23:43] How do I fix the GRUB error "no such partition" upon boot? Please help me, I have Ubuntu and Win 7! [23:43] theres like what only a couple hundred severe nix viruses that are barely functional these saya as it is [23:43] psycho789, Linux in general is a much more secure operating system than windows. You basically don't need to worry about it. [23:43] so should i not worry about installing an antivirus [23:43] psycho789, There are a couple hundred proof on concept viruses. There are 0 known viruses in the wild. [23:43] days^ [23:43] psycho789, No. [23:44] psycho789: i don't think there *is* a antivirus for ubuntu... [23:44] ok thanks guys [23:44] no unless you want to be sure youre not giving any eindows using friends a irus [23:44] there is an antiviruz right in synaptic [23:44] its called libclamav [23:45] razz1, you could set up an xinetd entry for it [23:45] bjo, [23:45] bjo, xinetd, any links to documentation [23:46] well if anyone can help me eith hdtv resolutions PLEASE pm me [23:46] Xase: but isn't clamav just a e-mail scanner? i hate calling it an 'antivirus' when its more of a server-side tool [23:46] razz1, i'd just google x11vnc xinetd, there's probably several howtos [23:47] its easy, you just aptitude install xinetd, then create an x11vnc entry in /etc/xinetd.d/ [23:47] bjo, googling now [23:48] razz1: you could set up gdm to autolog in to the user you want and set Gnme to share teh desktop by default also. [23:48] If you are using GNOME that is.. [23:49] dist-upgrade broke my mdadm package, I have a feeling if I try to reboot my machine won't come back up [23:50] fidelix_: sorry, i had a power cut, what was your last question? [23:51] I said: I have webmin installed, but i still dont know how to configure bind. [23:51] i asked another person to pastebin his wireless information, don't remember the name [23:51] fidelix_: what's your current configuration? and what are you trying to accomplish ? [23:52] I just want my site to be accessible on the internet with these functionalities i told you. [23:52] !webmin | fidelix_ [23:52] fidelix_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [23:52] i guess so [23:53] When i play a sound file, it plays through both the speaker and the earphones, how do have it just play thru the earphones [23:53] Slart: ebox does not work with bind [23:53] fidelix_: describe exactly what do you want, with usage examples [23:53] And webmin works well with bind from what i heard [23:53] Some the update files are marked as (new install). what does this means? [23:53] fidelix_: that doesn't make webmin any better.. it's still unsupported and not recommended [23:54] fidelix_: I'm not saying webmin will automatically destroy your system.. some functionality might still work.. you have been warned though [23:54] So what should i do, use ebox to do nothing or use command line because you say so? [23:55] If you instruct me on accomplishing what i need with ssh, i sure will do thing manually. [23:55] fidelix_: I would recommend configuring bind some other way [23:55] I prefer doing it by hand, but i have not the knowledge to do so. [23:55] fidelix_: I'm not handy with bind so I can't help you with any specifics.. but perhaps someone else can help you [23:55] Dr_Willis: your idea sounds interesting, I am using gnome, how can gnome share the desktop by default won't it need a vnc server? I am fairly new to this [23:56] ok. I'll read some docs on bind. [23:56] What next please? --> How do I get a new SATA drive recognized enough to install on it. I found it in gparted and did Device>Create Partition table. [23:56] Thank you all. [23:57] tripelb: install what on it? [23:57] Slart Some the update files are marked as (new install). what does this means? [23:57] please dont log in as root [23:57] razz1: gnome has a vncserver built in. look in the users settings menu [23:57] tripelb: If Ubuntu detects it, it's usable. === root is now known as Guest71028 [23:57] Arnoob: huh? where? [23:58] from the update manager [23:58] hey guys, is there a client app for transmission which will talk to a transmission server, kinda like transdroid on android? [23:58] they are new packages. not 'old ones being upgraded' i think that means. [23:59] a ction what about the transmission webgui? [23:59] Dr_Willis: at present I use the default vino server, not happy with it, that's why looking for other options. [23:59] Arnoob: oh.. that might be the case if an old package only require packages X and Y but the updated package needs package X, Y and Z. then Z will be listed as a new install since it wasn't installed before the update
