[00:00] floating: make an alias, or script that exports then runs the command. [00:00] chrOnik: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [00:00] floating: that ld_luibasry_path is a path also.. You could just add the needed path to your default luibary path [00:00] floating: in a command line you can just « LD_LIBRARY_PATH=whatever command » [00:00] ah ok [00:00] tx [00:01] Are there any disadvantages to using the minimal installer, then installing ubuntustudio-desktop instead of ubuntu-desktop? [00:01] if I have a drive with an encrypted homedir, can I just hook it up to a new ubuntu system and mount it? do I need to do anythign special ? === Guest341 is now known as skunkworks [00:01] If anyone uses a Dell studio xps 16 please message me in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:02] erUSUL: but if the library is already exported, and then when I run screen it wont run through it [00:02] floating: tell me the exact command line you are using ... [00:02] hello [00:02] thanks erUSUL this seems like it will help :P [00:02] xoferif, what's on your mind? [00:02] chrOnik: maybe you have to add "Driver "ati" " to the "Device" section [00:02] I use ubuntu 10.4 and can't find my xorg conf file [00:03] mmm [00:03] chrOnik: check the « xrandr --add ... » to add a new modeline [00:03] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:03] yeh i did all that last night [00:03] it just didnt show up.. [00:03] there is no file xorg.conf in /etc/X11 [00:03] that's the problem [00:03] export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH <- this has been run and is set. after this I run screen ./balleserver , but it won't have the paths exported. If i do script that exports and then runs this screen command, it won't do any difference [00:03] have you selected to show hidden files? [00:03] thats my problem xoferif ? [00:03] xoferif: modern Xorg does not need it. it configures itself at runtime. if one is present is followed [00:04] xorg.conf ist hidden [00:04] floating: screen can take a command to auto run, or you can set it to run several differnt commands. [00:04] I have show hidden files activated [00:04] mxtr: sorry what did u say to add into the config? [00:04] is it possible to create the file? [00:04] floating: what is this balleserver command ? [00:05] Driver "ati" [00:05] floating: make a script taht does your export, and runs the program, and tell screen to run that script.

[00:08] lol [00:08] its late at night [00:09] hi all ... just a short question: is there a howto/guide/anything on how to remotely install ubuntu 10.04 LTS server ... like kickstart for rhel/centos/fedora [00:09] are u running the beta? of cbang? [00:09] nope [00:09] bipo, I haven't seen one, but would hope there is [00:10] tx erUSUL Dr_Willis [00:10] at hte moment the old one in vm [00:10] hi :) I kept upgrading Ubuntu over the years and now I think I'm missing bits of it -- should I install gnome-desktop-environment to pull the full gnome or is it some different metpackage? [00:10] :P [00:10] i have been using it a few months on some old p4 machine [00:10] * missing bits of Gnome [00:11] uRock: do you know if it's somehow mentioned in the official ubuntu docs? - as a fingerpoint to the right direction maybe? ... didn't find it too :-( [00:14] thanks, creating xorg.conf now [00:14] gilead, i think ubuntu-desktop is the metapackage you're probably looking for. [00:14] uRock: just found it ... thx anyway [00:15] bipo, cool, I found this link with a bunch of ubuntu guides, if you wanna check it out http://linux.about.com/od/ubusrv_doc/Ubuntu_Linux_Server_Documentation.htm [00:15] Is there any standard directory to store tarballs that I have downloaded and will possibly install in /opt? [00:16] uRock: perfect, thx very much ... I was missing such a collection! *cheers* [00:16] zimbres, /usr/local/src/ is probably the closest... nothing "official" i believe [00:17] Is there a way to stop the mouse form going a couple pixels past the edge of the screen? [00:17] exit [00:18] is your monitor set up slightly off? [00:18] No... [00:18] Its running native resolution... [00:18] does anything provide glib-config in Lucid? I am trying to compile kmquake2 and it seems to want that instead of pkg-config. [00:18] have you tried rebooting? [00:18] Yes... [00:21] No one else has any ideas? [00:22] Do you mean on the left or right, Raptors? [00:22] using the command "df" i see a partition that is 100% in use [00:22] jat1981, right and bottom [00:22] i deleted some big files and its still 100%, is there a way to refresh it or something ? [00:23] It's by design, Raptors. If it doesn't happen on the other side of the screen... X defines the mouse pointer as the point at the tip of the arrow. [00:23] hi [00:23] You'll always be able to see that point, but it may draw the arrow beyond it. [00:24] hi gb0 [00:24] Tiven: deleted how? what filesystem anyway?

[00:26] Tiven: how big is the hd? how big was the file.. could be rounding up so you dont see any changes. [00:27] Hello, rather silly question: I took some videos earlier today, and I want to share them with friends and family, most of them use Windows so I was wondering what's the most common video and audio codecs in Windows so they only need to double click them to watch the videos? [00:27] as it was in older versions of ubuntu and some other distros... [00:27] !find wizardpen [00:27] Package/file wizardpen does not exist in lucid [00:27] darolu: avi [00:27] Dr_Willis the file itself was 1GB, the partition is 2GB [00:27] I use my windows machine for games about 2000-2004 and the mbp for webrowsing and shit [00:28] nisstyre65: avi is just a wrapper, I want to know the common actual codecs :) [00:28] Tiven: and df -h, dosent show the change eh? [00:28] How do I uninstall a software that doesn't show up in the list of installed softwares? [00:28] ubunt1: how did you install it? [00:29] darolu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Video_Interleave [00:29] Dr_Willis: With the default package installer. [00:29] how isn't in the repositories? [00:29] ubunt1: if you just compile and run the binary it wouldn't show in your list [00:29] ubunt1: if you used the pacakge manager to install it.. it should be in the package manager listing. [00:29] darolu: there is nothing common and usefull for this kind of guess [00:29] i have a genius tablet and i can't get work it :( [00:29] ubunt1: what was it exactly you installed? [00:29] Dr_Willis: I will look into that. [00:30] darolu: theres always the annoying wmv/wmv9 type stuff.. but i would suggest just using xvid. [00:30] Dr_Willis: Launchy. [00:30] darolu: even if it is just a "wrapper" it will play out of the box on windows [00:30] can i shrink a 4.9 gb iso to fit on a regular 4.3 gb dvd without completely rebuilding it from scratch?

I suppose the same happens with h.264 but mpeg should do the trick (at least that's why im gonna use) [00:31] is there a ubuntu version of dvd shrink [00:31] Dr_Willis: Couldn't find it in the package manager not even by search. The termial returns an error for such command. [00:31] bsmith093: i mean replacement [00:31] ubunt1: what command? [00:32] Dr_Willis: "apt-get remove programname" [00:32] bsmith093, xdvdshrink [00:32] Dr_Willis: I may be forced to use that (wvm stuff), I'm not sure if windows has xvid support out of the box. Thanks [00:32] Found it. [00:33] anyone here has a genius tablet working on lucid? [00:33] I found it in the package manager. How do I uninstall it now? [00:33] click it and completely remove [00:34] It now has an red X instead of the green previous icon. Is that all I have to do? Is it uninstalled now? [00:34] no now hit apply [00:34] hey all, my network manager icon has an exclamation point and it doesn't seem to show the wifi strength any longer. if i go to the connection info, it seems to be stuck at 1 Mb/s...

[01:01] Dr_Willis, yep [01:01] how do i specify target dir in make install?

[01:02] Dr_Willis, i downloaded the mp4 hd from youtube [01:02] so basically its still an .nrg file [01:03] mom: in that case it sounds like an audio codec issue. [01:03] thats why its giving you that error [01:03] hiexpo, make install step , i want to specify a target dir [01:03] Dr_Willis, but the audio works, not the video\ [01:03] mom: souinds like a video codec issue then. :P [01:03] Dr_Willis, what video codec do i need? [01:03] mom: truy playing it in vlc via the command line, look for info about its codecs. [01:03] mom if u donwloaded video file, try to play it with totem or vlc or mplayer [01:03] mom: no idea. I install all of them and i can play most everything [01:03] aristo, i did [01:04] Dr_Willis, can you play youtube hd mp4s? [01:04] have you installes gstreamer-plugins-bad , -ugly and so [01:04] w32codecs, + mplayer and vlc + ubuntu restricted extras.. ive found few things i cant play. [01:04] ? [01:04] mom: a mp4 would be a mp4.. youtube wouldent realluy matter.. i imagine. [01:04] Rolotony, ok done the p7zip,now how can i use it? [01:04] how do I get my ubuntu to connect to my virtual network created by my guest OS.

[01:05] Yanis: put " " around the paths ( filenames ) [01:05] mom, you need to install proper codecs [01:05] Yanis: when you try to type the name, type the first few connected letters and hit TAB [01:06] anyone know if refit can be moved to /dev/sda1 to allow me to delete OSX and still boot Ubunutu? maybe reinstall osx later to a different partiont too [01:06] think refit resides on the OSX partition, so.. [01:06] Thanks guys, will try that [01:06] hi. my external screen gets blurry, multiple screen, fresh install 10.4 on lenovo thinkpad t60. When using the jolicloud-os and win7 os i have no problem with the external screen but now its all blurry and so on. like connecting a computer with composite to ooold tv... idieas? using intel gfx drivers i think [01:06] how do i get my desktop to show up on my tv. i have nvidia settings and hdmi hooked up [01:06] m_tadeu: only windows/network filesystems have those options. in unix filesystems the encoding is in the data [01:07] ballongen: resolution might be wrong for the external [01:07] aristo, it wouldnt be because i have an older video card? [01:07] i want it to clone my desktop to my tv [01:07] Scunizi, no, no change at all resolutions or 60hz or 75hz [01:07] thanx hiexpo [01:07] mom, what is your gpu model? [01:07] kraxen: if you are using the HDMI cable.. then basically its the same as setting up a 2nd monitor. the 'tv' part dosent matter. [01:07] hendaus, np [01:07] kraxen: i run nvidia-settings tool.. tell it to use the other monitor. [01:08] ballongen: some tv's you have to turn off and back on again to capture the resolution your computer is coming out.. [01:08] erUSUL: help me to understand then....I reinstalled ubuntu today, but the filenames and dirs with special characters are all messed up [01:08] aristo, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17GL [01:08] Scunizi, this is multiple lcd monitors === ubuntu is now known as sianhulo [01:08] Scunizi, that is.. i have tried on multiple lcd monitors.. :) [01:09] mom, are you using nvidia propietary drivers? [01:09] aristo, yep [01:09] erUSUL, thank you so much, I've been trying to get this thing working for days. I never thought it'd be that simple. [01:09] mom, exactly what's the problem? is playing slow or not playing at all? [01:10] how do I get my ubuntu to use my vmware shared internet connection? running ubuntu 10.04 (host) and windows vista (guest, and primary internet connection) using vmware player? [01:10] ballongen: sorry no answer here.. strange [01:10] has anybody here used the program "youtube-dl"? [01:10] topizard, you want a bridge? [01:10] Hey does anyone here mind answering a noob question about ubuntu [01:10] topizard: configure vmware to use a bridged connection [01:10] !ask Luie [01:11] Scunizi, like this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1518560&highlight=blurry+screen [01:11] !ask [01:11] 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. :-) [01:11] topizard: you configure the Guest OS/settings for vmware to use the proper network card/setup. Check the vmware manual - 'bridged' is proberly what you want like m_tadeu said [01:11] topizard: guest is typically bridged through the host.. so if ubuntu is the host you can't use the internet through the guest. [01:11] i am bridged [01:11] I recently got ubuntu on my laptop and I want to view the video and music files that I have on my other OS any ideas how i do this? [01:12] Using a DVI -> HDMI adaptor to a 720p HD TV .. and the picture looks rather poor.. [01:12] ballongen: I get it..

[01:20] guampa: http://paste.ubuntu.com/475178/ [01:20] hendaus: i would start with 'man fuseiso' and learn about the tool.

[01:21] hendaus, sorry i don't know than and i am kinda busy right now in pentoo sorry i will look into it though [01:21] Dr_Willis, yes i know,but i am at my friends house and tonight we will like to watch this movie [01:21] m_tadeu Vista yes.

[01:23] ^ agree Dr_Willis [01:23] I dont see much point in a movie dvd being in NRG format... [01:24] Dr_Willis, ok i do fuseiso file.nrg and what should be the mountpoint? [01:24] wow 'fuseiso' supports a Lot of different things [01:24] hendaus: pick a name.. [01:24] Luie: when you go to places -> file system, what disks do you see?

[01:26] guampa: yep i see that [01:26] well [01:26] ^^^^ @ m_tadeu [01:27] i see a 'dev' [01:27] to be more exact [01:27] guampa: wait i lied yes there is a device [01:27] too [01:27] i need help [01:27] huge linux noob here [01:28] double click on it [01:28] k [01:28] Hmm, I googled around a bit and haven't come up with anything. Anybody know what the trick is to getting Unity working in virtualbox? [01:29] topizard: first tell me what you want to do. if you just want to connect the vm in your network, you just need to bridge the connection. windows should detect it right away. then your host should connect to the modem. both will share the connection [01:29] 6 folders in here: LNXSYSTM:00, pci0000:00, platform, pnp0, system, and virtual [01:30] i've double clicked on it [01:30] Luie: allright, just enter sudo -s in a terminal and enter your password [01:30] and several other things [01:31] Dr_Willis, ok i extract it its a .DAT file [01:32] guampa: i entered sudo -s but it never asked for my password [01:32] m_tadeu ok I want to plug in my (ZTE tu25 4g modem clearwifi dongle unsuppoted by linux) modem, connect to the internet (in windows due to clearwifi dongle's lack of support) and use the connection in ubuntu. [01:33] guampa: the next line was simply "root@ubuntu:~#" [01:33] Luie: don't matter. now you have to pastebin some info, type "pastebin" in the terminal and press tab [01:33] topizard: do you have a router with dhcp server? [01:33] if it completes to "pastebinit" you have pastebinit installed, that will make easier to pastebin [01:34] when I type pastebin, then TAB nothing happens [01:34] it tells me i should install pastebinit [01:34] Luie: then type "apt-get install pastebinit" [01:35] I get an error upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04 and I do not know what the next step is to try and fix it.

The error is - Can not mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade [01:36] StrangerDanger, did you remove ubuntu-desktop from your system? it's important when you are upgrading. [01:36] hiexpo, i open the .dat file on vlc it looks not good the screen and then stopped [01:36] m_tadeu yes it works fine and my VM gets internet this way. When I am away from my router...at the park...I connect to the internet w/ my 4g modem....windows gets the internetm, but I dont want to browse in windows OS i want my connection in ubuntu. [01:36] I do not remember doing anything like that [01:36] ok i think i've installed it [01:36] do i restart my terminal and do what you told me earlier [01:37] StrangerDanger: ubuntu-desktop is actually a number of packages, once you have it installed you don't upgrade it, you upgrade the individual packages instead [01:37] Luie: No just keep doing what you were doing [01:37] StrangerDanger, removing anything from the "base" system will remove ubuntu-desktop - try installing it and see if it adds anything "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [01:37] how would I specify the asterisks in crontab to make something happen at the hours 00, 03, 06, 09, 12, 15, 18 and 21?

[01:42] trelayne, could you backup the file, then allow package manager to update it? [01:42] trelayne: most likely you'll want to replace it, unless you've done some heavy stuff with the /etc/ folder [01:43] Luie: thx, let me see [01:43] all, some created a VM for me just today with 8.04... so no heavy mod on it.....

[01:51] can i make it direct to usb [01:51] djdole, You should join the mint channel. This is ubuntu support. [01:52] edbian: that would be #mint ? [01:52] woah this is awsome [01:52] is there a way for me to shortcut that folder? [01:52] !mintsupport | djdole [01:52] djdole: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:53] djdole, I can't seem to find anything on this server. [01:53] edbian: wat [01:53] just partitioned a brand new HD with gparted. then gparted crashed. and again. so I rebooted the liveCD. gparted crashes. Now what? [01:53] i just tweaked a dvd iso now how do i change the menu to reflect the change ( deleting a title) [01:53] djdole, I Look at what ubottu said. [01:54] tripelb-livecd, Is there something wrong with the HDD ?? [01:54] hello channel [01:54] i did this --- dd if=/dev/zero of=casper-rw bs=1M count=10g follow by --- mkfs.ext3 -F casper-rw but it save on home directory [01:54] Luie: yes drag it and drop it on the desktop with ctrl+shift [01:54] I have checked it before I can do it again. Is that the only possibility? edbian [01:54] !hi > beto [01:54] beto, please see my private message [01:55] you can rename the link also [01:55] is there a way to write two commands in the same line? [01:55] tripelb-livecd, I can't say for sure that's what is wrong but that certainly seems to be the case. [01:55] adriancarrio: cmd1 && cmd2 [01:55] adriancarrio: separate them with ; [01:55] adriancarrio, command1 && command 2 [01:55] adriancarrio, sure [01:55] a script will do that for u adriancarrio [01:55] adriancarrio, It will do them one at a time though. [01:55] thanks [01:56] also what soreau said, but have in mind cmd2 wont run if cmd1 returns error [01:56] how can i make a 10G casper for a USB ?? [01:56] adriancarrio: && means the preceding command must complete successfully (without error). semicolon will still execute cmd2 regardless if cmd1 fails [01:56] but beaware you must use sudo on eack command [01:57] ^each [01:57] hiexpo: Not if they are user commands [01:57] when i start ubuntu it say screen not found. and ubuntu start in low graphic mode. why? [01:57] soreau, i was just gonna comment that [01:57] hiexpo: Not a good idea to tell new people to run things with sudo, blindly [01:57] pidgin just closed unexpectedly too. "maybe" I hit the button, edbian. I've been running ubuntu on another HD (20G) for months with no issues. I installed windows on still another (40G) HD. Now I put in my brand new Hitachi. Everything was fine..... OK can I check the CD without rebooting it? [01:58] how can i increase a casper-rw ?? [01:58] skumara: Your graphics drivers are screwed up apparently. Can you pastebin your X log? [01:58] guampa: thanks for all your help dood [01:58] Luie: glad it worked :) === joseph is now known as Guest53367 [01:59] do I have to reboot to check the validity of my liveCD? [01:59] tripelb-livecd, no [01:59] if he is running it at the moment, yes. === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:00] tripelb-livecd, do you have the iso in your home folder or are you running it now ? [02:00] hiexpo, that wasnt theoretical, lol. I would appreciate knowing how. Idleone you mean if the live cd is running now, yes? [02:00] I am running on a liveCD hence "nick" [02:00] we need to know that you're using a live-cd? :) [02:00] tripelb-livecd: if you mean run the "verify cd" option yes you need to reboot [02:01] tripelb-livecd: Yes, you will have to reboot and use the cd integrity check test [02:01] tripelb-livecd, then yes you need to to check md5 before so [02:01] mejjad, idleone hiexpo thanks and see you one the other side === WindowsOCManage is now known as WinOCM [02:02] uh [02:02] soreau, my xlog here http://pastebin.com/RfjTcdWT [02:02] so, my ubuntu install started segfaulting on every app after i rebooted it. :\ [02:02] WinOCM: what made you reboot? [02:03] IdleOne: power. [02:03] run fsck [02:03] !fsck | WinOCM [02:03] WinOCM: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:03] IdleOne, I did. [02:04] now, the login screen wont come up when X is run [02:04] so, i'm stuck with terminal in su mode [02:04] skumara: Since you have the proprietary driver installed, my guess would be to blacklist nouveau kernel module or uninstall the nvidia driver [02:05] WinOCM, you mean sudo mode [02:05] I have a huge amount of filenames with the wrong encoding. how can I fix this? [02:05] soreau, can i still use graphics if i did that? [02:05] skumara: did what? [02:05] WinOCM: does X start if you run startx [02:06] soreau, if i uninstall nvidia driver? [02:06] skumara: The default nouveau driver does not have 3D acceleration IIRC, but you can install newer kernel and xorg-edgers to get latest nouveau bits which may have 3D for your card [02:07] m_tadeu, what kinda file names is that ? [02:08] hiexpo: with special characters...somehow after reinstalling ubuntu those characters are not recognized properly [02:08] skumara: Alternatively, you must install the nvidia driver correctly for it to work (which means blacklisting the nouveau kernel module) [02:08] soreau, where can learn more about this nouveau kernel module and how to blacklist this kernal? [02:08] skumara: google [02:09] m_tadeu, i have had that happen before with files off windows but i knew what they were suppose to be so i changed them and it worked fine [02:09] hiexpo: well those files were created in ubuntu [02:09] anyone know much about the supposed macbook overvoltage thing? [02:10] m_tadeu, Are they wrongly encoded or just have the wrong file ext? to simpley batch change them if no recode is needed you could use rename to change the extentions. [02:10] m_tadeu, i doesn't matter if you know what they really are change them like say .jpg .deb etc ya know [02:10] KE1HA: not the extentions...it's the encoding [02:11] special characters like "ç" or "á" [02:11] IdleOne: yes. [02:11] but gnome freaks out [02:11] m_tadeu, Ahh, diffrent problem :-) [02:12] KE1HA: it's not a problem...it's a headacke :) [02:13] m_tadeu, maybe thats the prob you got them after you installed ubuntu last time and now this is after > not sure on the special charactors bit usually that is a language thing [02:13] m_tadeu, not really, if you know the current codding, you can batch encode them to a new format, provided you have all the appropriate codecs. [02:13] Codding :-) that's fish'en :-) [02:13] skumara: Can you pastebin the output of dmesg too? [02:14] KE1HA: previously I had iso8859-1...now the system is using utf8 [02:14] m_tadeu, Here's a pretty simple batch encoding example: http://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_Batch_Encode [02:14] m_tadeu, Oh sri mate, thought you were talking about Audio Encoding. [02:15] this is odd [02:15] if i do startx when, i log in via tty1 [02:15] gnome goes mad about panels missing [02:15] KE1HA: lolo...nop...filenames and dirnames and everything inside text files [02:16] soreau, where to fing that dmesg? [02:16] skumara: This looks similar to your issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/534469 [02:16] m_tadeu, Have a look at dpkg-reconfigure locales [02:16] because it seems like the system was interpreting text as iso8859-1 and now is interpreting like utf8...I want it back to iso8859-1 [02:16] skumara: dmesg is a command you run in your terminal. use something like 'dmseg|egrep -i "nvidia|nouveau"' [02:16] KE1HA: I did that already....didn't change a thing [02:17] KE1HA, - i think it's a language thing ya know dif characters & keyboard [02:17] m_tadeu, one other thing you cna try, open /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local and add UTF_8 at the bottom, withoug Quotes. [02:18] Then, [02:18] any help? [02:18] Open Open /etc/default/locale ad change to UTF_8 and sudo local-gen purge. [02:18] !ask > WinOCM [02:18] WinOCM, please see my private message [02:19] Whoops that should be: sudo local-gen --purge [02:19] hi people... i need a recomendation about IDE to develop PHP aplications.... btw i dont like KDE stuff like composer... thanks [02:19] When you edit the Local files yuo need to be root though. [02:19] hiexpo, i already asked. the problem is that everything segfaults on my system. [02:19] soreau, it says dmesg command not found. [02:19] KE1HA: inside that dir, I have the en and pt files [02:20] WinOCM, ok sorry than channel running fast [02:20] m_tadeu, That's interesting, what UB version you on ? [02:20] after looking at dmesg, libc-2.11.1.so looks like the problem [02:20] KE1HA: 10.04 [02:20] how do i fix this [02:20] ? [02:20] wow, same here. [02:21] Ok, let me look into this a bit further. It can be done Im certain of that. [02:21] KE1HA: cool :) because I'm getting desperate of trying [02:23] Yeah, Im trying to remember which one it is, iconv or preconv .. give me a second, I'll find it. [02:23] im building a dualboot system for someone who wants both ubuntu and vista. in making a shared drive, should i use ntfs? [02:23] ls [02:23] ups sorry! [02:23] im an Ubuntu linuxz User BTW [02:23] cyphase: shared data drive,.. ntfs will work. [02:24] error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so? [02:24] cyphase: anything else will have too many other limitatiuons [02:24] Dr_Willis: yes, i meant data drive. i would never ever install linux on ntfs :P [02:24] cyphase: i'm afraid yes, which means also you lost all posix stuff in the fs [02:25] cyphase: vfat/fat/ will have file size limits.. and ext2/3 support in windows. is less then perfect.. so its basically NTFS or nothing. :) [02:25] how do i add a sshfs mount to my fstab w/o puting credentials in the fstab? [02:25] Dr_Willis: right, thats what i figured from searching. thanks :) [02:25] kc8pxy: you have to use keys to authenticate [02:27] guampa: MUST use keys? i can;t do something like a credentials file like cifs? [02:27] kc8pxy: you can generate the key and copy the public key to your pc so you don't have to manualy authenticate [02:28] guampa: that's fine if i need to, but where does mount need the keys to be?? i know the server I'm mounting from needs the keys in the auth keys. [02:28] kc8pxy: search for passwordless login ssh [02:29] kc8pxy: well the private key is a credential file...and yes, if you don't want to put passwords in fstab you'll have to use another method, i mentioned keys because it's the other popular mehod [02:30] How many applications are available for ubuntu? I mean apps. NOT packages. [02:30] m_tadeu, Are yuou needed to do the entire system from UTF_8 to 8859-1 ? [02:30] knowthefacts, like 50? [02:31] m_tadeu: i don't want to have to manually set it up everytime. i want it in fstab as an automount. also, the server i want to mount from is on a openvpn that comes up before i need to login to my workstation. how do i make sure it comes up before the mount attempt? [02:31] KE1HA: that would be perfect...since I think that's what I had before [02:31] haha...I'm looking for the actual number of running applications available for ubuntu. Or an estimate please. [02:32] m_tadeu, just curious, how did you change itfrom 8859 to UTF_8 [02:32] kc8pxy: if you copy the public key into your .ssh dir, you don't have to authenticate...the public key is the authentication [02:32] KE1HA, - was i right language thing ? [02:32] KE1HA: I reinstalled ubuntu :) [02:32] m_tadeu: yes.. but what triggers the mount automatically? [02:32] LOL.. Ok, so you really didn't want that, but did it by istake ? [02:32] arrgh. [02:32] kc8pxy: you cahn specify the priv keyfile with -o IdentityFile="pathtokeyfile" [02:33] Mistake* [02:33] oops [02:33] kc8pxy: fstab [02:33] m_tadeu: i think i found the solution to my own problem, but it's not as nie as i want [02:33] nice [02:33] kc8pxy: please share :) [02:34] m_tadeu, did you just do a fresh install before this ? [02:34] kc8pxy: you can script the connection / mount process [02:34] guampa: thx. [02:34] guampa: that's what i hit on [02:34] kc8pxy: or use /etc/network/interfaces and post-up [02:35] m_tadeu, Try this, convmv -f utf8 -t iso-8859-1 should print what changes would be made. If you're satisfied with this, add the --notest option to really get the files renamed. [02:35] hiexpo: in deed...but with debootstrap, due to some problems [02:35] guampa: but to make sure it lands after the openvpn, i need to write an init script (something i've still avoided over 10 years of linux use), and place it after the openvpn connection on which the ssh resides that i want to mount. [02:35] guampa: or else write it into my bashrc. [02:36] KE1HA: gonna try that out...thanx a bunch [02:36] guampa: neither ogf those is nearly as elegant as i wish i could do. [02:36] m_tadeu, than just just do another one right this time fresh install nothing lost except time [02:37] hiexpo: I'm thinking on it....but I ran into several problems with ubiquity [02:37] hi everyone. trying to put UNR 10.04 onto usb drive from OS X. followed instructions exactly; no errors. yet, Asus Win 7 netbook can't boot the flash drive. help please. PM if preferred. [02:37] kc8pxy: /etc/rc.local is perfect for that. the "elegant" way would be to use /etc/network/interfaces and post-up, but "elegant" can be whatever you use, i use rc.local extensively for my own startup scripts [02:37] m_tadeu, trying to fix itwill cost you more time [02:37] hey guys I'm having some problems with CoverGloobus. I can run version 1.3 from the downloaded python source, but it isn't fully compatable with Banshee. However, when i try to run version 1.6 I got from the PPA, it gives me a python error that it cannot import "GenericLyric". I know CoverGloobus is realy hacky, but i really want to get it up and running, can I get any help? [02:37] m_tadeu, or is your waht the whole world (entire box) try this: (No Gaurentee's though): for i in `ls -R *`; do iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 $i -o $i.new; done [02:37] willgt09: set the bios to boot from usb or external hd [02:37] If you want the whole world: .. .. .. [02:38] KE1HA: niceeee... :) [02:38] xangua: yep. did that. black screen for few seconds, reverts into Windows Recovery startup [02:38] KE1HA: testing with a single file now to see the result [02:38] KE1HA, good call if it takes [02:39] You'll have to do it in Each partitions though. [02:40] willgt09: how did you create that ubs boot disk¿¿ [02:40] KE1HA: aaarrrggg....it doesn't change the text inside :( [02:40] with unetbootin¿ [02:40] guampa: m_tadeu: mebbe yuo guys can guide me to a better solution. i need to access my phprojekt via sftp or sshfs, I'm trying to access it with PDT for eclipse. i have a zend project. [02:40] i'm on OS X. used sudo dd process from Terminal, as per instructions [02:40] m_tadeu, Well, now that's a diffrent issue :-) [02:41] texastwister: not very contributing as your tweet says ;) [02:41] kc8pxy: if you want to mount a sshfs you should take the public key from the remote host into your ~/.ssh dir...then set the entry into fstab...you won't need to enter the password [02:42] xangua: Just got here... :-) Listening for a question I have an answer for. [02:42] m_tadeu, just do a fresh quit wasting time trying to fix something that is imposable almost or time consuming [02:42] m_tadeu, for that one, I'm affraid I can't think of a way to re-encode the "data" within a file without out a bucnh of sed awk & perl commands, which is a bit beyond my current level of scripting these days. [02:42] KE1HA: hehe, in deed...that's why I think the system is not interpreting stuff as before [02:42] kc8pxy: not sure what you mean by "better", you want to make sure the mount is made after the vpn is up? === daddoo is now known as Guest92166 [02:43] Hi, I am trying to change the default settings on my screen size. Running 10.04 with ati mobility radeon90000 [02:43] xangua: usb disk is created with no problems that I can see. when I attempt to boot from it with my Asus, I can select USB from bios, but it just blinks cursor for a second then attempts to boot Windows [02:43] How do i boot ubuntu 10 LTS into a command line? [02:43] willgt09: then try external hd instead of usb [02:43] Wormfall: what's wrong? [02:43] i mean set that option in bios willgt09 [02:44] guampa: i guess my issue is, i have gnome up, and i can sftp into the project dir.. but eclipse can't find it. so i thought if i mounted the sftp as sshfs, that would work, and it seems far too complicated to be my first choice. [02:44] KE1HA: I think I'll try to reinstall ghe whole system [02:44] ok, let me try that [02:44] kc8pxy: if so add "noauto" in the fstab line and make it mount after the vpn goes up, you can script the vpn connection or use /etc/network/interfaces, i must say i've never used the latter for vpns, but it'll probablly work [02:44] hey, does anybody know where medit color schemes are stored?? [02:44] chong: When I boot (after clean installation) I get to the select user screen and after that, my computer automatically hibernates/sleeps [02:44] willgt09, did u put both usb drives on top for boot [02:44] hiexpo: [02:44] both? [02:45] KE1HA, hiexpo, thanx guys [02:45] m_tadeu, Im sure it can be done, but it's it's beyond my scripting ability at the moment. [02:45] willgt09, theres two [02:45] willgt09, in bios [02:45] Wormfall: are you sure it hibernates/sleeps by not just black screen? [02:45] m_tadeu, np [02:45] when Asus boots, I hit esc and I can choose from HDD or USB. I chose USB [02:46] chong: yea because my power LED on my computer goes from blue to blinking orange.. (Toshiba a70) [02:46] willgt09, you need to change in bios boot orderr [02:47] hiexpo: ok, I'm recreating the flash drive right now. I'll try that in a bit. but isn't the boot popup menu, just a temp change of what drive to boot from? [02:48] ubuntu 10.04 LTS doesn't recognize my ati radeon HD3650 AGP graphics card. How can i boot into a command line prompt without X? [02:48] willgt09, no in bios is the order it boots from [02:48] Wormfall: do you system update to the lastest version? [02:48] chong: using apt-get upgrade? [02:49] Wormfall: yes [02:49] chong: Yea [02:49] hiexpo: even if you select which drive to boot from with the esc boot menu? I've been able to boot from USB like this before. (ok USB is done, let me try it the other way now) [02:49] hello [02:49] chong: I can boot into recovery mode and root command; however, only graphic normal i cant [02:49] willgt09, ok [02:50] KnowTheFacts, I think if you edit Grub, and put: single on the end of your vmlinuz line it will boot into the console. === Zeike is now known as brandonj [02:50] KnowTheFacts, in other wors, rright after root=/dev/sxx single [02:50] Wormfall: try install graphic driver first, maybe this is a bug. [02:51] chong: how do i install the graphic driver? [02:51] ok thanks. [02:51] hiexpo: ok, fail. :( same result as with "esc menu method", cursor blinks and then Windows Error Recovery appears [02:51] chong: I was also reading online that it might be the lid status.. [02:51] hi i need help with wireless, i have installed all drivers and inserted mac address, wpa password and ssid, anything i have forgot? [02:51] Could anyone help me with a problem accessing transmission webgui on a headless server? [02:52] is there a way to rescan for new hardware to automatically install drivers? [02:52] chong: cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/stat returns state:closed [02:53] gzt: it should be scanned for automatically [02:53] willgt09, must be a bad usb format did u check md5 first ? and what did you use to burn iso to usb [02:53] gzt: use gparted to edit/add partitions and Places menu to mount them [02:53] ilovefairuz: i plugged in my logitech webcam and nothing happens [02:54] Wormfall: driver issus ? [02:54] hiexpo: how to i check md5?

[02:56] gzt: he is giving good advice [02:57] lelle: you said mac address, that's usually not needed [02:57] when i start transmission, and begin a download my internet becomes very slowly, what ever how much the download speed is... =/ [02:58] lelle: what's your problem exactly? [02:58] ilovefairuz wireless doesnt work.... [02:58] you know, instead of this hassle, perhaps I'll just copy the .iso onto my Asus, and use Unetbootin. lol [02:58] ilovefairuz: it worked when i installed cheese, thanks [02:58] lelle: do you see the wireless networks but you can't connect to any of them? [02:58] gzt: you're welcome [02:58] does anyone know how to over-ride the acpi button lid state? [02:59] over-ride or disable [02:59] anyone know some webcam s/w that i can connect to remotely? [02:59] lelle: pastebin: lshw -C network and then do iwlist wlan0 scan and see if it gives any errors [02:59] i don't think cheese lets me do that [03:00] Anyone out there has tested intel gma x3100 on quakelive or something?

I was recently working with a laptop where once the switch was set *off* the wireless is dead until reboot. I'd reboot, go to system setup, look for BIOS settings related to the wireless, make sure it is on, boot back into linux, and see if it works then... [03:24] oh well new to here [03:24] blue_, which command.maybe detail [03:24] than ask for the ip [03:25] blet, idk, any packet sniffing prog. [03:25] texastwister thanks ill try it [03:25] blet: be careful, not everyone likes it, and you can get out of hand quick, but wireshark is decent. [03:25] blue_, thx [03:25] grrr. Ok, so I put .iso on Window 7 laptop, used universal USB installer to make USB flash drive. Ok. worked. Then I go to boot from it, select USB device, get message "Missing Operating System", black screen, proceeds to boot into Windows. ?!?! [03:26] its not illegal to find some ones ip [03:26] kc8pxy, wireshark is difficult to use [03:26] heck, you can see most peoples ip in here by whois [03:26] nizer [03:27] blue_, ure right but to connect to it is > and know you see our service providers ip [03:28] packet sniffing is not illegal on a network you control, but may violate the policies of employers or ISPs.

For the "home" does it have to be "primary" or "logical"? and is it at the begining or end of partition? [03:34] lelle: may not be there, depending on the system.

[03:41] blue_, you asdked about dvd rip right [03:41] condon: try asking the question and maybe someone can help [03:41] !details | condon [03:41] condon: 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 ..." [03:41] texastwister yep [03:41] downloads have a copy on desktop [03:41] hiexpo, yes, it keeps stopping short when ripping the dvd [03:42] hiexpo, brb hold that thought, i have to shiza [03:42] I can't connect, only walkthrough I found online was using network-admin which I do not have installed and cannot install without, well, a network connection.

[03:42] robertd: copy and paste the command [03:42] edited /etc/network/interfaces, restarted, still nothing [03:43] condon: why didn't you just use network manager? (icon in system tray) [03:43] texastwister theres nothing "avaible" [03:43] gnom-panel in one of my users take 90% to 98% cpu , what shell i do to relax it? [03:43] lelle: Any sign of an network name at all? [03:43] texastwister oh i right clicked it gives something else when left click... [03:43] I click on it and "Wired Interfaces" is gray and cannot select [03:44] lelle: sudo pastebinit /var/log/messages [03:44] wire network - auto eth 1 and wireless network - disconnected [03:44] blue_, in order to do dvd stuff u need dvdcss dvdwrite dvdread have you installed all these apps? [03:45] So, I've used IRC some long time ago, I'dont remember my password anymore. [03:45] Its possible to recover it? [03:45] gnom-panel in one of my users take 90% to 98% cpu , what shell i do to relax it? [03:45] hello guys [03:45] <_jesse_> S4nD3r: likely a better question for #freenode [03:45] !hi | m41n1 [03:45] m41n1: 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! [03:45] condon: I've been having weird... weird.. bugs with network mon and having a physical wireless switch on a laptop so I'm wondering if your bug isn't similar to mine. Have you tried manually puting eth0 down and up? [03:45] lelle: Wired network plugged in? Wireless is typically disabled when wired is plugged in. === wzk is now known as wzkOFF [03:45] i am working on the ps3 iso of lucid to make it work in x360 [03:45] how do I do that? [03:46] thanks [03:46] problem is when i start it up, both keyboard and mouse don't work [03:46] texastwister yes plugged in.. could give you a screenshot [03:46] condon: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [03:46] box has sat in a corner for a year, got frustrated with it and gave up, been a long time since I fiddled with command line [03:46] condon: I don't know that what I will suggest will work (likely won't to be entirely honest... I just know that I've been having problems with it) [03:46] condon: any errors? [03:46] any clue? [03:46] condon : sudo ifconfig eth0 down [03:46] ilovefairuz http://pastebin.com/DRJ3KUw6 [03:46] think I have it ... working on the lpd files [03:46] iam new to ubuntu so what new programs should i try [03:47] angelo_ depends on what you want to do [03:47] <_jesse_> angelo_: depends on what you want to do [03:47] hiexpo, yes lucid and I do have the css stuff [03:47] <_jesse_> lol [03:47] no errors but no luck, still offline [03:47] rofl [03:47] <_jesse_> +1 for ubuntu hivemind ;) [03:47] ;D [03:47] condon: just for kicks (because this is my last suggestion because I'm not a network pro sorry :( ) but what works for me is to put the wireless card down (in your case wired so eth0) then restart [03:47] robertd: you don't need to: check http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_pcf1a.html [03:48] condon: in some cases that makes my "wireless" tab stop being grayed out (which is what your WIRED tab is doing yes?) [03:48] Does anyone know how to load Quicken into wine? (No not the red or white but wine 1.2) [03:48] correct [03:48] but put the card down then restart? [03:48] condon: sudo dhclient eth0 [03:48] lelle: disconnect the wired network, give network manager a minute or two and see if it then initializes the wireless networking. [03:48] blue_, ok what kinda rip do u wanna do on the dvd clone or just mpg xvid etc explain it [03:48] will give it a shot. [03:48] xvid [03:48] hiexpo, xvid [03:49] sudo dhclient eth0 brought up a bunch of stuff. [03:49] jesse is there a anything on the net about ubuntu that a new comer would be interested in [03:49] oops already did do I ned to remove [03:49] texastwister i have never left clicked the network manager icon so i did and pressed "connect to new wireless network" so i did and something happened, ill try to plug out the cord and see if it works [03:49] robertd: what did you do exactly? [03:49] condon: pastebin [03:50] hiexpo, if you have the patience, can we start from the top with ripping dvd? [03:50] would love to, but that computer's not online [03:50] what I'm trying to remedy now. [03:50] condon: ah sorry, well what does the last line say?

[03:53] Hello :D [03:53] hiexpo, im thankful for that idea, but I was leaning more twoards actually know how to do it than leaving it up to a script. I just need to figure out how to get dvd:rip to rip the whole dvd [03:53] Toadsworth: system --> preferences --> powermanagement (i think) [03:53] Toad System >> Preferences >> Screensaver [03:53] and still can't access the net [03:53] could i use this pc with ubuntu lucid lynx ?? ===> http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=desktops&a1=Starting+price&v1=Under+%24400&series_name=p6510t_series&jumpid=in_R329_prodexp/hhoslp/psg/desktops/Under_$400/p6510t_series [03:53] ping from network tools gives error that google can't be found [03:54] condon: well you said it work, but seems you have a dns problem, ping 8.8.8.8 .. works? [03:54] but now all the sudden I'm on again... just insanely slow... can live with that and will try to remember all these steps :D [03:54] thank you guys [03:54] blue_, ok install wine and download dvdfab and google use dvd fab in linux the best answer i can give you [03:54] I have a bluetooth keyboard & USB BT Dongle for it. the keyboard is turned off, but the dongle is still picking up something... [03:55] condon: what is the hardware? and what version of ubuntu? curious [03:55] my volume keeps changing [03:55] remember something about ipv6, want it at false in about:config, correct? [03:55] condon: remove what'ever you added to the /etc/network/interfaces and the network manager will do this automatically [03:55] hiexpo, :) LOL im trying to move away from using windows progs. [03:55] amd athlon 64bit dual core 2.66, ubuntu 8.10 [03:55] blue_, Excellent decision! [03:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/475229/ [03:55] athlon x2 that is. [03:56] hey guys what about me ? [03:56] blue_, somethings are inevitable [03:56] anyone use banshee and now how to correctly purge the music database without touching anything else? [03:56] no one has an opinion ? [03:56] robertd: ok now try step 6 [03:56] edbian, thanks, thought i cant get it to install on my main pc [03:56] know* [03:56] anyone know why my screensaver quit powering down my monitor? It happened after an update last week. [03:56] hey guys... I've got a question about swap files/partitions and hibernation. From what I read it seems that ubuntu will use the swap partitions for hibernating. It also seems that the live CDs will use the swap partitions for increasing the memory. What happens when I first hibernate in ubuntu, then turn the computer on and use a live CD? Won't the swap partition holding the hibernation data get corrupted? [03:56] blue_, I just logged on. What are you talking about? [03:56] <_jesse_> Dice-Man: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [03:56] step 6? [03:56] it's rather ridiculous how Banshee can't purge tracks that no longer exist when it rescans the database. [03:57] ComputerWiz, It will simply over-write whatever was in swap. [03:57] edbian, how to you private chat in this web irc? [03:57] _jesse_, ok thanks that what i was looking for [03:57] think I'll try adding new again and printing test page [03:57] ComputerWiz, When the system boot it checks swap every time. Is this a hibernation image? If not it boots normally. [03:57] i can make some custom config now [03:57] robertd: don't try again, just test [03:57] edbian, earlier i was trying to figure out how to rip a whole dvd with dvd:rip, and yesterday i was asking about my troubles installing lucid on my main pc [03:57] <_jesse_> Dice-Man: :) [03:58] no finding location of step 6 [03:58] edbian, - thats why i gave up on him and threw that out there > [03:58] blue_, Awesome! [03:58] _jesse_, i'm an hard believer and defender of custom configs [03:58] robertd: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_pcf1a.html [03:58] <_jesse_> Dice-Man: linux is right for you then ;) [03:58] hello guys [03:58] edbian, Ok thanks. So if another OS is booted like a live CD that automatically uses any swap partitions, it will erase the hibernation session? Do you know if there's any way around that? [03:58] hiexpo, I don't know what you're talking about? :P [03:58] I have a problem with apt-get [03:59] thank you getting a little tired here [03:59] ComputerWiz, I'm not sure. It's possible too that the live CD might boot the hibernation image. I doubt it though. [03:59] _jesse_, are there any listings of compatible hardwares with lucid ? [03:59] actually this is more for the network printer [04:00] <_jesse_> Dice-Man: there might be, I don't know of any of the top of my head, the videocard would really be the only thing I'd worry about [04:00] that just happens to be the driver as well [04:00] Ahh, thanks KE1HA! [04:00] edbian, any thoughts? [04:00] _jesse_, ok [04:00] I would like to keep the version I of grub-pc and grub-common I have on my computer, so I put this script int /etc/apt/preferences.d : http://pastebin.com/Lbxi8dJV [04:00] _jesse_, in fact i'm creating some itx pc [04:01] robertd: it has instructions for both [04:01] is there a way to rebuild the application menu to automatically get rid of broken application links? I installed kubuntu-desktop to test, and it added a bunch of applications to my gnome menu and now that I have removed it the applications are still there but all marked with a "?" symbol [04:01] _jesse_, smaller than mini atx [04:01] <_jesse_> Dice-Man: I gathered that much :P [04:01] blue_, Any thoughts on what? Installing lucid of the dvd::rip? I'm soo lost! [04:01] but when I do a dist-upgrade, it tries to remove grub-pc and take an older version of grub-common ! [04:01] how can I fix that ? [04:01] ToAsTcfh, rr, no prob. glad it worked. [04:01] _jesse_, i don't want to have bad surprises [04:01] edbian, well most important my problems install lucid [04:01] <_jesse_> Dice-Man: righto [04:01] ok [04:01] blue_, Why isn't it installing?? [04:01] edbian, well I know it won't boot the hibernation image (just from experience), but it seems that sometimes my hibernation just fails to restore. I assumed that it was caused by the session from the CD using the swap. I really wish that the default option would be to separate "hibernation swap" and "increased virtual memory swap" [04:01] edbian, it keeps having problems during partitioning [04:02] looks good on the cups side [04:02] edbian, but thanks for the help! [04:02] Dice-Man: HCL for Ubuntu : http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/ [04:02] ComputerWiz, Yeah. Sorry! [04:02] blue_, Well I can't really offer any help. I still have no idea what the problem is. [04:03] edbian, :/ that is my problem, it fails to partition [04:03] collabra, does this page has been updated ? [04:03] anybody have a clue for my problem ? [04:03] Dice-Man: I assume so,... [04:04] k === pepee_ is now known as pepee [04:07] Dice-Man: On the home page the first listed review was posted today... So, yup, It's current. [04:07] ok no problem [04:07] i'm seeing that the intel dg41mj is fully compatible [04:07] Sorry, I can't seem to find it with a google search, but does anyone happen to know if Canonical has any plans to include tuxonice in the future? [04:07] thing seems good [04:08] things [04:08] hello channel, I am having trouble installing 10.04 on a Acer Aspire D250. [04:09] Hi. can someone help me please. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Sony Viao laptop and for some reason I cannot adjust the brigntness when on battery which means my battery dies really quickly. I usually FN F5 & F6 dim and brighten the screen but I can't seem to find any way. Also in the power settings I have the option to set the brightness for when the computer is plugged in but the option is not there for battery power. [04:09] how to stop drive automount in ubuntu? [04:09] abuayyoub, which Viao model specifically do you have? [04:09] abuayyoub: try looking in fordflux.com [04:10] search ubuntu and look for the older entries link [04:10] ComputerWiz, It's a Viao NW something I think [04:10] Tanvir: remove relevant line from /etc/fstab === nicholas__ is now known as monkeyb [04:10] Tanvir: sudo nano /etc/fstab [04:10] ilovefairuz: trying [04:11] any one want to help me with dvd:rip problems? [04:11] Can I install to lvm/raid0 easily? [04:11] sudo nano /etc/default/grub [04:11] !lvm > ZeZu [04:11] ZeZu, please see my private message [04:11] Im having trouble running multiple monitors with a laptop (i.e. lcd + monitor), should 10.04 work with the Edit->Preferences->Monitors, or do I need to go the xorg.conf route? [04:11] beto, I am here but I don't understand what I am supposed to be looking for. [04:11] I haven't found a good method even from alt./text installer ... you can do lvm or raid but the options really aren't there [04:11] some laptops you have to go to the bios to set the brightness settings [04:12] ilovefairuz, for some reason firefox isn't working on the livecd so i can't read that [04:12] ilovefairuz: i cant found the relevant line. can u give me a graphical option? [04:12] rom the Gnome Panel, click System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media and then uncheck the first two boxes on the storage tab. This will turn off automounting for everything not defined in /etc/fstab, and you can turn it back on if desired as easily. [04:13] Tanvir: pastebin the file [04:13] ilovefairuz: which file? [04:13] hmmm receives data but not printing test has been pastbin to http://paste.ubuntu.com/475233/ [04:13] Tanvir: sudo pastebinit /etc/fstab [04:14] abuayyoub, I think it might be an ATI driver issue. There's not too many solutions I can find, but maybe some in this thread will help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466208 Also, you didn't give me a full model number, so that link is more of a guess. [04:15] ilovefairuz: it say, command not found [04:15] new to distro [04:15] can you got my problem correctly? [04:15] Tanvir: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [04:15] so if my screensaver timeout and monitor power down is set to the same time my monitor actually powers down. If the monitor is set later than the start of the the screensaver it doesn't ever power down. Any ideas? [04:16] KE1HA, what [04:16] robertd: didn't you say it was a pc fax? [04:16] ToAsTcfh, ?? [04:17] ToAsTcfh, rr, no prob. glad it worked. [04:17] mfc aka multi function center [04:17] Tanvir: try this.... In a terminal type: gnome-volume-properties :you may have to run it under sudo. [04:17] robertd: http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/mfc495cwcupswrapper-1.1.2-2.i386.deb [04:17] Oh, to your Screen Lock when the Screensaver enables. [04:17] robertd: same commands [04:17] haha i found my hapiness [04:18] intel dg41mj [04:18] Ubuntu can't use a swap file for hibernating can it?

[04:20] ComputerWiz, yep, but there is great diference between linux and win on swapping...linux uses whole swap partition, not using file as swap... [04:20] robertd: i don't think it's necessary but you should do it [04:20] i'm havint an ssh issue, i get a public key error when i login as a new user, i have the permissions set right on new users .ssh and authorized_keys folder/file and also have the user in the allowed users section of the sshd_config file... what else can i check?

[04:24] sorry , how to do fix missing [04:24] Saevar, so if the hibernation data is saved to the partition, how do other linux OSs know that the swap partition is currently being used and should not be overwritten? If it was a swap file, I can understand how it would know, but I'm fuzzy on the details for a partition. [04:24] ilovefairuz: but when i click on a drive the shortcut comes to the desktop. how can I stop that? [04:24] Saevar: from my client workstation? I did that, and it doesn't work... It works fine for my main user account... [04:24] ilovefairuz: removable media [04:24] sreeju: sudo apt-get update [04:24] ilovefairuz: I have to delete those again and again [04:24] Can anyone point me to the right direction for XRDP questions??? [04:25] ComputerWiz, init is doing hibernation check on main partition at boot, on that mark he's runnig apropriate process...unhibernate or normal "cold" start [04:25] collabra: i was referring to disk partitions [04:25] mbrayton: what's ur question? [04:25] anyone else having issues updating ubuntu 10.04 64-bit atm? [04:25] Tanvir: what do you expect to happen when clicking on an inserted drive? [04:25] yeah, obviously I'm looking for help here, because I ain't getting anything there... [04:25] Saevar, lets say I have 2 ubuntu installs. ubuntu1 boots up, then hibernates, then ubuntu2 boots up. Won't ubuntu2 try to use the same swap partition? [04:25] ilovefairuz: that is not her current problem... but, have at it. [04:25] ok let me try [04:26] ilovefairuz: it will open but not create a shortcut in the desktop [04:26] collabra: well now i'm rather confused [04:26] any known update server outages atm? [04:26] Error: asking for LPD filter http://paste.ubuntu.com/475238/ [04:26] makson, seems u have somewhere saved bad public key...it's distributed on connect if client says he doesn't have it... [04:26] Saevar, or will it somehow see that the partition is dirty and not touch it [04:26] ilovefairuz: yeah,.. that makes three of us...;-) [04:26] I have a Windows 7 pc that I am trying to connect via rdp to my ubuntu 10.04 computer. I know I can use a vnc program but I would really like to use RDP if possible. I need the 64 bit of XRDP though if it exist. [04:27] ComputerWiz, it depends on which partition is used on which install...you can have more then one swap partition , i have 4 on my server, every 1 on 1 of disks :P [04:27] hey sreeju [04:27] makson, and public keys are saved in known_hosts in .ssh [04:27] update your packages [04:27] yes [04:27] ilovefairuz: any suggestion? [04:27] Saevar, I understand about how init will check if there's a hibernation image that it needs to load, but my question is more about how other OSs will use them. The example that really worries me is the Live CDs... they automatically use any swap partition that it finds. [04:28] Tanvir: when you insert a usb pendrive for example, the system will add an icon to the desktop to access the contents of the driver, but this icon doesn't need to be deleted, when you're done with the drive, just right-click and select "safely remove".. do you keep the usb pendrive plugged in all the time? [04:28] mbrayton: have you looked at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=392184 ? [04:28] Saevar, you have each swap dedicated to each install? [04:28] Tanvir: what are you trying not to automount?

[04:29] ilovefairuz: its okay with usb, but not okay with my disk drive. [04:29] thanks, my problem solved [04:29] Tanvir: what kind of disk? an internal hard disk or a usb attached disk ? [04:29] Saevar: should i upload a new keypair? or upload the private key again? [04:29] anyone else having issues updating ubuntu 10.04 64-bit atm? [04:29] how to update my firefox?

[04:31] Saevar: Where where can i see in a log why the heck its failing?

So you want to continue, ignoring these packages" [04:31] collabra: the problem is actually rather vague now [04:31] where can i paste the updates that didn't work? [04:32] Alinon: change the mirror [04:32] Alinon: did you run sudo apt-get update ? [04:32] ilovefairuz: have her try this.... In a terminal type: gnome-volume-properties or, possibly under sudo [04:32] ilovefairuz: i sure haven't i'll try that now [04:32] what is the command for updating a package? [04:32] makson, try ssh -vv , it will tell you exactly whats going on [04:32] collabra: go ahead and ask [04:32] makson, ssh -l -vv [04:33] i want to update firefox [04:33] anyone know why I get this after trying to install apache2? debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog [04:33] can't seem to access page for the lpd driver .... get forbidden message [04:33] robertd: pastebin === TannerF is now known as Tanner_F [04:33] Tanvir: open up a terminal and type: gnome-volume-properties [04:33] ilovefairuz: perfect, it found more updates and now it seems to be happy again =D [04:34] Tanvir: tell me what happens [04:34] sreeju: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will download updates for your system === Tanner_F is now known as TannerF [04:34] Alinon: if you're doing manual updates, always run sudo apt-get update [04:34] I think I found ... had to scroll down to News ... sheesh I read enough on global events just not enough here lol [04:35] it's been a while ..probably 3 weeks since i have even logged in, guess my stuff was too far out of date heh [04:35] Saevar: I see it's failing when trying my private key, but for the user it works it just offers up the public key which doesn't make any sense to me since the public key exists on the server, I should be presenting the private key? [04:35] what task / todo apps do you use? I have been trying to get tasque back up and running after a reinstallation, however the evolution data server backend isn't provided as an option after installing from the lucid pacakages [04:35] collabra: command not found [04:35] makson, paste please [04:35] don't know the technical terminology for what just happened heh [04:35] makson, on private if u want [04:35] Tanvir: take a screenshot of the thing that automounts [04:35] i want to update firefox alone [04:35] Tanvir: now type: sudo gnome-volume-properties [04:35] makson, just curious, are you using encrypted home directory's ?

[04:37] makson, ok, that's not it then, but you may try moving your auth-keys file locaiton, jsut to test it. [04:37] ilovefairuz: what? [04:37] ilovefairuz: you were right,.. sorry. [04:37] sreeju: use "apt-get -s upgrade" (simulate) or similar to show the firefox packages, and then just use apt-get install packagename1 packagename2 for upgrading just those. [04:37] Tanvir: type: mount | pastebinit - [04:38] ilovefairuz: thanks for the assistance! laterz [04:38] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/wXau7YEP [04:38] I keep getting this when trying to install stuff: debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used [04:39] So, I jumped ship from windows to Ubuntu a day or so ago, surprised to find out that my Ubuntu version is out of date, not relevant (Karmic). Now, it's suggested that one convert your files to formats such as the ogg derivatives, but this was very impractical to me due to the sheer volume of data to work with, so I have been attempting to get Ubuntu to work with these formats, none of which seem completely out [04:39] of the way, yet the obvious ubuntu-restricted-extras package did not, despite its claims, give me usage of the mp3 format. Or perhaps it did, but I'm missing a key part of the process, as none of my MP3 files are playable, and each suggests I get the MPEG Layer-1 plugin. To the end that I'm stumped, I request in my verbose way your assistance. [04:40] Thank you to all who helped with my networking issue, seems to be working great even after the reboot. [04:41] rummage: ffmpeg? [04:41] Can anyone tell me if I update from 8.10 to the newest version (we at 10 now?) what that's going to do to things like compiz that took forever for me to get just right? [04:41] backwards way we ask neatly not verbose [04:41] trelayne: in the dependencies of debconf you have a one of "whiptail | dialog | gnome-utils", I assume it is saying it can't find whatever it is looking for from one of those packages. [04:41] Rummage: I generally install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, works fine for MP3s in GNOME applications [04:41] I'll see what I can do, then. [04:41] Rummage, ehm : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats did you read this ? [04:42] thune3, thank you I figured it out and installed whiptail [04:42] Saevar: Yes. [04:42] anyone off-the-top knows which distro/package "/usr/X11R6/bin/Magick-config" belongs to?

I have a sony viao running 10.04 and for some reason I cannot adjust the brightness so my battery dies quickly, I have looked around for a fix but nothing seems t work, the brightness applet does nothing at all [04:43] makson, this you're write should work [04:43] !find /X11R6/bin/Magick-config [04:43] Package/file /X11R6/bin/Magick-config does not exist in lucid [04:43] makson, -d for debug. My bet is something in the ssh_config or permissions. [04:43] Saevar: That's what lead me to the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, which has somehow failed to get MP3s working, causing this query. [04:43] ^ anyone know how to search hardy -> lucid [04:44] Rummage, it's interesting [04:44] Rummage, rhytmbox didn't asked you to install something ?

[04:47] Saevar: To be clear, I cannot fetch anything online using my Ubuntu computer, this is a separate issue related to laptops not coming with modems and that being all I've got at the moment. [04:47] geinus! [04:47] thx [04:47] no comment. [04:47] anyone that can help me with my touchpad problems??? [04:48] Rummage, ah so...that's really problem then [04:48] ilovefairuz: i cant find it. what's the name? [04:48] Yes. I can, however, transfer packages via USB, which is what I've been doing during this transition. [04:48] Hey all, sometimes when I type "apt-get install ap" then hit the system autoguesses the package name. Is there a way to get this behaviour with LTS server? [04:48] Tanvir: gksu ntfs-config [04:48] It's also why I decided to come here instead of going snipe hunting. [04:48] what is /usr/X11R6/bin/ and why are the thousands of binaries there not recorded as installed from package ? [04:49] anyone that can help me with my touchpad problems??? [04:49] trelayne: sudo apt-get install bash-completion [04:49] Rummage, you've done right [04:49] hy [04:49] It prints well again and a major Thank You on the force all function ..... hopefully only 32bit driver I need but ... [04:49] Rummage, i can paste you on private my libraries if u want [04:49] ilovefairuz, can you help me. my touchpad aint working. im on ubuntu 10.04 [04:49] Saevar: That would be excellent. Would save time hunting for each format and dependency. [04:49] ilovefairuz: now? [04:50] Hollow`Point: what's your laptop make and model? [04:50] Tanvir: the partitions are not listed? screenshot. [04:50] ilovefairuz: yes they are listed with checkmark [04:51] ilovefairuz: its a Blue m626. everything works well except for the touchpad. [04:51] Tanvir: uncheck! [04:51] thanks ilovefairuz but there seems to be something extra missing.. when I do it from within the context of apt-get it wil correctly guess that I would want "install" or "remove" or whatever.. [04:52] ilovefairuz: unchecked and okay, but didn't work [04:52] trelayne: log out and back in ? [04:53] Tanvir: reboot [04:53] ilovefairuz: okay [04:53] Hollow`Point, also do a ( xinput list in a terminal ) to see if it's being detected. [04:53] trelayne: are you issuing commands as root or using sudo ? [04:54] I am on a shared computer so have to use the web based IRC client and the Debian channel is blocked, can someone here help me remap a keyboard in debian? I think it would be fairly a common method. its not in keyboard settings though so I need to know how to do it from a terminal [04:54] I was working with ooBase when it crashed. I could not recover the db (hsqldb). Then I started sensing weird behaviour from ubuntu (not sure what I sensed) and decide to restart. Now I cannot login unless I use failsafe. What can I do to fix this? TIA! [04:54] ilovefairuz: patience is a virtue ilovefairuz has in spades :) [04:56] collabra: my english is not that well to get it .. but it's okay lol [04:56] UbuntuLily, dpkg-reconfigure console-data [04:57] KE1HA, i PM'd you. i hope its ok [04:57] Hollow`Point: so is it detected? can't find much on that particular model [04:58] ilovefairuz: yup, did an xinput --list. result says Virtual Core pointer id = 2 [04:59] Hollow`Point: is there a touchpad tab in system > preferences > mouse ?

[05:03] ilovefairuz: what can i do then? [05:03] Hi! After upgrading to 10.04 I get intermittent crackling sounds from my speakers instead of audio, and the only way to fix the crackling is to execute pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start. The problem appears to regularly arise when playing audio over a network of any sort and the distortions get worse the louder I have the volume applet. http://pastebin.com/tZj9DWqx is the output of also-info.sh [05:03] Tanvir: i'm checking the source code to see what the application actually modifies [05:04] ilovefairuz: okay. [05:04] how do I know if files are hardlinks of each other ? [05:06] find /usr/bin/ -samefile Magick-config [05:06] I cannot login unless I use failsafe. What can I do to fix this? TIA! [05:07] hm, so /usr/bin and /usr/X11R6/bin are hardlinks, very annoyng [05:09] orbisvicis, do a ln -l fil_name if it's a hard link you'll see a (3) after the permissions. [05:11] orbisvicis, I take that back, it's a 2 if it's hard-linked, I just tested it. [05:13] hello xangua [05:14] ls [05:14] KE1HA: assuming you actually mean ls -l, the number is the reference count for that file. So if you have a non-directory file with one hard link, it'd be 2. Two hard links would be 3, etc. [05:14] hei [05:15] rww, SRI, yes ls -l [05:15] (. and .. count as hard-links, so directories are a little more complicated) [05:15] If I start developing gui software for linux. Do I need to use GTK+ vs QT for a specific desktop environment? [05:15] hi, ive got a wireless connection according to network manager but it doesnt work in firefox or anything else.. [05:15] rww, if you or it was linked twice, then i would say 3 yes. [05:15] kisplit kde is qt, gnome is gtk [05:15] ?? [05:15] kisplit: generally, GNOME programs are GTK+ and KDE ones are Qt, but you can run Qt programs in GNOME and vice versa [05:16] rww and lelle: Thank you [05:16] kisplit: you can use what opera uses, how is it called¿¿ xwidgets [05:17] what's the command to add a user to the sudo users group?

[05:19] stalcup: if you're adding a new user, yes, your way would work [05:19] ok, thanks maco :) [05:19] Hello guys. I cannot login to ubuntu 10.04 unless I choose failsafe.

[05:40] idk, i tried to do it but it said /dev/fd0 didn't exist until i tried to mount it, it would just spin forever [05:40] !64 | Hilikus that page is wrong. 64 bit is fully supported. i am using lucid 64 bit. [05:40] Hilikus that page is wrong. 64 bit is fully supported. i am using lucid 64 bit.: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [05:40] Hilikus: Because not all programs are compatible [05:40] AndrewMC, that page is not updated actually. [05:40] Oh really [05:40] Hmm [05:40] Hilikus, that, and because the programs that are compatible tend to be less well tested on 64 bit [05:41] they probably left it solely for because of flash haha [05:41] i use 64bit since 9.04 as well and i havcent experienced any problems [05:41] Hilikus, AndrewMC https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [05:41] lelle_: so ping passes? [05:42] should i have any problems dd'ing a floppy disk with a usb floppy drive and vmware? [05:42] I've used 64bit since 8.04 and had problems with drivers canon and skype [05:42] sacarlson, a lot has changed since then. now only problem i see is flash. nothing else [05:43] Dick: lsmod | grep floppy ? [05:43] well I did alot of work arounds with having 32bit libs also [05:43] sacarlson, same here. especially with NV drivers, NIC and audio, but it's gotten allot better. [05:44] <|ntegra|> hi i'd like to compare /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts2 for duplicate lines, can you tell me how please? [05:44] floppy 53016 0 [05:44] oh and also I had to run firefox in 32bit with added libs to suport ruby watir [05:44] |ntegra|: diff [05:44] |ntegra|, sort + diff [05:44] diff on it's own won't work how you want [05:44] Okay, just had to sit through a long, long argument between comrades as to the merit of various media players and managers, but not an actually useful one. To that end, can you guys give me my options for media managers with integrated players (if this is unfamiliar, a manager tracks id3 tags, sorts, that sort of thing, in addition to a player's actually outputting the file's data)?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:45] <|ntegra|> aha, because I used diff and realized it was listing the differences , and I couldn't figure out how to use strings either [05:45] ilovefairuz: I asked for the options, not the best. I know better than to ask for the best. [05:45] i have a question myself, how do i easely rip Youtube movies to avi? [05:45] i tried to dd it with this command "dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/floppy.copy bs=9k" and it said "dd: opening `/dev/fd0': No such device or address" [05:46] CyberRat, that's against the youtube terms of service [05:46] i know [05:46] duh [05:46] CyberRat: And we don't promote illegal activity here [05:46] ...in other words we can't help you [05:47] not here [05:47] so the floppy drive wont show up in /dev/ until its mounted?

[05:57] Dick: the drive itself could be faulty [05:57] trelayne, it's changed a couple times, no-pun-intended, so couldn't remember which one for which distro. [05:57] I already read all of those forums on Wordpress' website, and nothing is working. [05:58] Anders-: if you're talking about apache, it's "Any" not "All".

[05:59] So when it says "AllowOverride All" change the "all" to "any"? [05:59] Tuna-Fish2: still '?unvailable?' .. i have no idea what causes this.

[06:00] I am okay with empathy but I was shocked and appalled and what has happened to amarok [06:00] Anders-: check the documentation [06:01] jimbo_, what happened to amarok? [06:01] rsvp, kde 4 happened to amarok [06:01] Anders-: which specific permission do you wish to override in .htaccess files? It's best to allow just those. [06:01] jimbo_, they do indeed, its just us English butchers manage to mangle there true meanings :-) [06:01] I've Error mounting hard disk.

[06:02] nimbiotics: ok now you're back on nouveau, if you still want to install the nvidia driver check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia but i suggest you stick with nouveau if it works fine [06:03] sqlite hopefully [06:03] tumenjargal: it shows '?unavailable?' i don't understand why it does this [06:03] rsvp: mysql only.

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 ..." [06:03] Still 404s... [06:04] rsvp: I agree. Talk about a step in the wrong direction, going mysql-only. [06:04] I swear there is something im doing wrong... :) [06:04] Anders-: which specific permission do you wish to override in .htaccess files? It's best to allow just those. [06:04] I have a windows part mount error. Im using ubuntu 9.4 [06:04] jimbo_, how do you like empathy vs. pidgin? [06:05] jimbo_: mod_rewrite.c [06:05] ilovefairuz: dont know what to do ... im not geting miniumum resolution as it is right now and i cannot make any changes to the display settings; just as if logged in in safe mode, but neither can i install de nvidia drivers i the system does not give me that option. what can i do? [06:05] Anders-: do you have mod_rewrite enabled? ls /etc/apach2/mods-enabled/ [06:05] rsvp: Disappointed with the configurability of both. Customization seems to have taken a backseat in the past few years. [06:05] Is it possible to install Ubuntu on my Mobile Phone?

In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows [06:06] tumenjargal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:06] then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very [06:06] Anders-: okay, so just AllowOverride Rewrite (I think. Again, check docs.) [06:06] Anders-: then in .htaccess you need your rules and "RewriteEngine On" lines. [06:06] In specific, I have a Samsung Impression with a touchscreen and slide out keyboard. [06:06] ilovefairuz: i feel i should restart, see what happens and start from there [06:06] nimbiotics: there doesnt seem to be much on that particularly card, as a last resort, i suggest trying the binary installer from nvidia website [06:07] ilovefairuz: thanks a lot i'll give it a try [06:07] Anders-: furthermore it is possible to tell apache to be verbose in the logs about what mod_rewrite is up to. THis is useful for debugging rewrote rules. And finally, this question is best suited to #apache [06:07] my error : http://pastebin.com/uAU4WnfF [06:07] rsvp: jimbo_: even with it's new flaws, I'll take ubuntu over suse any day. i'm just now having to do my first rpm-based install in 8 years, this install of suse for a consult job is making me look at the issues i have with unbuntu as "glass is half full".

[06:16] i cant boot windows [06:17] kaushal: right click on it and check around its preferences, perhaps there's a way to set up the trigger key [06:17] ohzie: makes sense, that's windows' softraid isn't it? [06:17] jimbo_: Yes, sort of. It *can* be. [06:17] you can also just make single volumes the same way. [06:18] it's strange and buggy [06:18] and it breaks all the time [06:18] except windows server will do software raid mirror and it's amazing, because they write it in so that it will import broken volumes with zero problems if the data is intact. [06:18] ohzie: I used it about 7 years ago to make a striped array. Worked fine until a disk died.

[06:37] Can someone help me get evolution to leave messages on the server even after opened on the client? So if I go log in onto my laptop. I can see that message I looked at? [06:37] pheelineerie: what are you using to connect? did you install cnetworkmannger? [06:38] roky: look in the options [06:38] Anyone here on twitlive [06:38] ?

[06:39] anyone know repairing your system (ubuntu,windows,..)?? [06:39] Simple proxy question: I thought I knew a lot about proxies, but i guess not. Anyway, today I decided to test my anonymity on an IRC chat. I didn't feel like setting up Tor again, so I tried another proxy (telephonehide). (My friend was also on in the same room, no proxy.) I only stayed an hour (I did a whois in the chat, and it said that I was in Poland.) A few minutes after I left, the mod there informed my friend not to u [06:39] KE1HA: but i have them on my system already [06:40] tumenjargal: there are windows live cds to repair your hard disk but go ask in ##windows [06:40] KE1HA: thats whats confusing me [06:40] prabh, how about this bit, Im guessing here: sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamerthen [06:40] only on ubuntu [06:40] KE1HA: ok lets give it a shot sir [06:40] Withough the "then" tagged on the end.

[06:43] ilovefairuz: well for example iwconfig says this: IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any. Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated [06:43] KE1HA: ok never mind that [06:43] KE1HA: seems like its already there [06:43] prabh, well, at this point, I can't see why not. [06:43] Which browser are you using ? [06:44] ilovefairuz: i forget how to tell what kind of card it is but i can look it up if you want. but it was working fine with ubuntu 10.04 a few days ago [06:44] KE1HA: its actually minitube 1.1 [06:45] So that's a standalone App, not a plug-in to a browser ? as its saying that HTML5 and h264, only IE and Google Chrome support. [06:46] KE1HA: well yes its a standalone app, http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube [06:46] live cd on my hp laptop zv5000 will not recognize my wireless device [06:46] KE1HA: http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube/minitube-linux-setup [06:46] KE1HA: ive tried that with no luck :S [06:46] I dont see any 64bit Binary's on their site.

With default menu, there's no option for Vista. Even /boot/grub/menu.lst file doesn't exist.

[07:27] blue1: tried suse can't get anything to work right. I am fairly new to linux. only been at it about 6 months [07:27] wgilthorpe: SuSE is redhat based and what I cut my teeth on (Linux wise). Debian seems to me, a stripped down version of ubuntu -- [07:27] wgilthorpe: stick to what you know. [07:27] Blue1, you do know it's the other way around right? [07:27] SabayonUser, mv command does rename [07:27] ubuntu is a slightly souped up debian [07:27] blendmaster1024: yes, but I said "to me" [07:28] ...which is why I said "you do know" [07:28] when you run; places->Home folder... it opens your home folder using "file browser".

[07:38] blue1: sorry, if i go with linux mint when the battery goes crittical (say in class) the lappy just powers off [07:38] progesterone: you are welcome [07:38] how do I reduce the cpu frequency scaling via CLI?

[07:44] please [07:44] bereta, i recently had win7 and ubuntu with a messed up mbr and ran update-grub and boom, all worked [07:44] Your Mileage May Vary [07:44] progesterone: your mileage may vary [07:45] Blue1 ah ... What is that exactly you're trying to say? [07:45] Guest32310, when you reboot your computer.. it will say "hit del to enter setup, or ... f2 to enter setup" .. something like that. Go in there, it should be there [07:45] progesterone: my example of sda3, might be different then what you have there. [07:47] Karen_m: that might work if the mbr is intact, but in my case, it wasn't [07:47] Blue1 Yeah. In my case, I can still see Ubuntu entries on Grub menu on boot, but Vista. How can I find out what partition Vista is installed? I'm trying to follow http://www.howtoforge.com/working_with_the_grub_menu [07:47] blue1, correct me if I am wrong, but won't update-grub go probe each partition and look? [07:48] progesterone: don't know -- I only use my recipes - in any case a windows partition is prolly type vfat or ntfs (see my example) [07:49] Karen_m: yes, but it won't re=instlal grub to the mbr - I got a boot loop [07:49] Blue1 Ok Thanks [07:50] Blue1: is there another power manager that you know of that will work better for a laptop than gnome power manager [07:50] wgilthorpe: maybe something in KDE, but then I don't use KDE, so I don't know [07:51] Blue1: me either i am just grasping at straws at this point. [07:51] wgilthorpe: honestly, that's an excellent question -- [07:51] Blue1: Thanks for letting me pick your brain. [07:52] wgilthorpe: however, you should be able to customise the settings have you tried that? [07:52] karen_m, I updated grub but no go, when I did the updated it said it found XP [07:52] Hello. Anyone using CHromium/ [07:52] bereta: try this: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 [07:53] Blue1: I have tried every setting in the gconf-editor to make my lappy hibernate properly in mint, but it just won't [07:53] israfel_: I have it installed, but ehhh [07:53] Blue1: in ubuntu it works about 75% of the time [07:54] wgilthorpe: gconf editor [07:54] the gnome settings manager i think [07:54] BLuel, Any issues using flash? [07:54] wgilthorpe: let me get my netbook hang on [07:54] <_Snark> quick Q - I wan tto run a scheduled task that requires elevated permissions (sudo) but i don't want to have to type in the root password.. how do i get around that? [07:54] Blue1: coolio [07:55] israfel_: I have none, but I had to install flash to their plugin directory [07:56] israfel_: if you use 64 bit however, I have had problems using the factory plugin [07:56] hi [07:56] Bluel, So you had to make a plugin directory and install it there? [07:56] anyone have suggestions for cool widgets or widget managers for ubuntu? [07:57] israfel_: yes [07:57] ShapeShifter499: screenlets [07:57] wgilthorpe: any others? [07:58] israfel_: /opt/google/chrome/libflashplayer.so (64 bit) [07:58] hi, i am tryin to format a USB drive to FAT32, but Ubuntu only list FAT as an option...is it FAT32 or FAT16? [07:58] bluel, would you suggest just sticking with firefox then [07:58] ? [07:58] ShapeShifter499: I have heard of another one gdesklets maybe? I don't know but i am pretty happy with screenlets [07:58] israfel_: no you can use chrome [07:59] israfel_: are you 32 bit or 64 bit? [07:59] Bluel, I'm using 32bit. [07:59] wgilthorpe: ok thanks [07:59] israfel_: you should be okay as is - try youtube [07:59] BLuel, youtube doesn't work. [08:00] wgilthorpe: you should be able to left click on the battery icon, and then go to preferences. [08:00] israfel_: then you'd need to find the 32 bit flash and copy it into the directory.... [08:00] bluel, says I'm missing the plugin and links to me to adobe... And the linked website says I should already have it. [08:00] heyy anyone pls help me, ubuntu gnome is not recognising my monitor and giving me 800X600 resolution, it earlier recognised my monitor as acer 19", and gave me 1440X900 res,i am using integrated intel mobo graphics..plz anyone help me... [08:01] Blue1, grub starts up fine, I can boot ubuntu ok, if I try to boot XP I get win splash screen than blue screen, after my first install i would get UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error form windows [08:01] Blue1: yes, i have tried that. [08:01] Blue1: when my battery goes critical it says that the computer will hibernate and shuts down. [08:01] bereta: did windows work before you tried this? [08:01] hey anyone can help me plssss.. [08:02] wgilthorpe: that is normal [08:02] Blue1: Does not hibernate, just powers down [08:02] wgilthorpe: ahh [08:02] Blue1: does a filesystem check on reboot sometimes [08:02] drag0nh3art: what is your question? [08:02] wgilthorpe: yes [08:03] wgilthorpe: that is normal after so many reboots it forces a check sometimes... [08:03] blue1, yes windows woked fine, I can restore windows to work if I scan the HDD and rebuild the MBR [08:03] bereta: hmmm [08:03] blue1, but if i do that i will kill grub [08:04] bereta: i thought that is what you did... [08:05] Blue1: I believe it is doning that because did not get the chance to unmount the fs. if you Press + and type gksudo gconf-editor it brings up a gui to change the gnome settings. If i change the thresholds higher say from hibernate at 2% to 20% i still get the same behavior. [08:05] wgilthorpe: wow that is odd [08:06] blue1: I have had ubuntu 8 on this laptop before and didnt have this problem [08:06] Blue1: super frustrating lol to say the least [08:06] wgilthorpe: some one with more experience than I -- if you catch actionparsnip he's very wide knowledge based === C-S-B_ is now known as C-S-B [08:07] wgilthorpe: jordon is as well [08:07] .mp4 can be played in which player in ubuntu [08:07] i am prolly the weenie here - I have about 5 years experience...

You have provided some good insight. do you happen to know when they tend to be on [08:10] blue1:i wish you all the sucess [08:11] ubiman: I am trying to figure out how to get an avi to put on my sansafuse -- [08:11] what happened blue1 [08:11] what is sanafuse [08:11] ubiman: it's sansa's mp3/video player [08:12] ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [08:12] Oooooh!

[08:14] paranoidphreak: Check memory + cpu -- Sort by memory (or cpu). Find the highest one -- It is usually the highest one responsible for the issues. [08:15] red2kic:how can i capture tv programs in ubuntu. i have pixelview tv card === noren_ is now known as newrplaha [08:15] ubiman: I don't know. I never had a TV tuner. I think VLC might have options for that. My heart is filled with uncertainty.

[08:19] red2kic: yeah [08:19] red2kic: i installed all the updates of ubuntu 10.04 [08:19] paranoidphreak: Try htop -- See if that reports the same thing.

[08:26] I cant even stop mysql server and apache2 from init.d :-((((( [08:28] red2kic: how do i do that? i tried running killall driftnet but it didn't kill it [08:29] paranoidphreak: if u started as sudo then u have to kill it as sudo only [08:29] paranoidphreak: did you try sudo pkill [08:32] I've noticed the ubuntu notification systems "bubbles" are not at the top of the screen how to I fix this? [08:32] noren_ Blue1: i tried using the following commands: "sudo killall driftnet" and also "pkill driftnet" but no luck [08:33] as shown here ---> http://tinypic.com/m/b869fr/3 [08:34] paranoidphreak: try running sudo htop and kill it from there [08:34] paranoidphreak: did you stick a sudo infront?

[08:35] classical: vps ?? [08:35] jasonwryan: thanks for the link [08:36] noren, yep [08:36] Blue1: sorry, "sudo pkill driftnet" [08:36] KB1JWQ, i have try this already but have a same error [08:36] classical: And the error is? [08:37] KB1JWQ, even when executing ls command [08:37] Oh, it won't let you even see the contents of that file? [08:37] KB1JWQ, bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory [08:37] KB1JWQ, yes :-( [08:37] noren: how do i do that, it's not a gui app "htop [08:37] classical: Gotcha. Call your provider, they've set horrific restrictions on your VPS. [08:37] ShapeShifter499: np - it works great... [08:37] classical: Who hosts that VPS? [08:37] KB1JWQ, there is 256 of ram [08:38] KB1JWQ, i have vps for testing im not paying anything [08:38] classical: Fantastic, but whoever set it up screwed up their OpenVZ/Virtuozzo configuration. [08:39] KB1JWQ, can i reboot it or something ? [08:39] classical: You can try, that should free up whatever's been allocated. [08:39] But unless you're running something that's eating RAM, their config blows. :-) [08:39] KB1JWQ, will it start again ? if i reboot vps [08:40] UBUNTU IS AWESOME!!! :D [08:40] classical: I would assume so. If not you have bigger problems. [08:40] classical: But consider your options. Right now it's not in a usable state. [08:40] KB1JWQ, Okay i will try rebooting [08:40] classical: So you can hardly make things WORSE. :-) [08:41] KB1JWQ, what can i do ? do you have any suggestions ? [08:41] classical: Reboot. [08:41] hi! how can I recover my private pgp-key from an old harddisk? where is it located?! [08:41] classical: If it doesn't come back up, call whoever hosts it and yell at them until they fix it. [08:41] classical, this message means you probably are running too many processes. try ulimit -u as a user,r that will tell you how many jobs you can run. Then see how many jobs are running with ps. Then adjust /etc/security/limits.conf [08:41] laclasse: Doesn't work that way in his environment; it's imposed externally by his VPS provider. [08:41] KB1JWQ, its a ram problem certainly right ? [08:42] no [08:42] classical: It is and it isn't. === bipin is now known as itzbipin [08:42] its a job allocation error whihc *could* be memory, but its not given. [08:42] classical: Once again, it's *most likely* a crappy config by your VPS provider. Call them and talk to them about it. [08:42] laclasse, i cant end processes [08:43] im trying to stop apache mysql from init.d but got same error [08:43] KB1JWQ, okay thx man :-) [08:43] classical: You have two options here. You can continue to solicit random advice on IRC from people who don't know how your box is set up, or you can talk to the people that actually run it and have the power to fix it. :-) [08:45] hello everybody - can you please direct me to the documentation or some information about .changes files? (I want to use dupload and in the man it says only that it uses .changes files) [08:45] My advice isn't random.

[08:57] <|GaiJin|> Last I fiddeled in Grub that was set in grub.conf, and you had to "reinstall" it into the MBR [08:58] <|GaiJin|> but that was in Gentoo [08:58] not an easy process for a new user i guess? [08:59] <|GaiJin|> there should be some guides to it... [08:59] I assume there is a path to iconfig? [08:59] isn't there an option in ubuntu GUI?

[09:12] sacarlson: I think I am stupid. I think I did sudo aptitude search samba and installed samba4 because it was closer to the bottom of the list.

It runs like this: Fresh clean spiffy install of 9.10, go to install ubuntu-restricted-extras to play my .mp3 files. It installs. I open up insertrandomsong.mp3 to play it via Rhythmbox. It tells me I need to install the MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin. According to everyone I've spoken to, by rights it should be playing insertrandomsong.mp3 without [09:15] complaint. Needless to say, I am currently stumped. For background, I do have a handful of .flac and they play flawlessly as something can be played on a laptop. [09:15] but glx 1.4 version causes memory leak on ubuntu [09:15] ratin, then on ubuntu I dont think you can get this wit nouveau [09:16] ratin, mmm [09:16] is there a way to downlooad the broadcom prop sta drivers and copy a PACKAGE to ubuntu [09:16] checking [09:16] I'd accept either and have tried both [09:17] ratin: change the modeset in /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf [09:17] VegasMike: plug in your ethernet and check the network manager applet as soreau suggested [09:18] Hello, I did a fresh install last night of ubuntu will full encrypted filesystem lvm using the advanced cd. All works fine and smooth but when i look at system monitor there is always 1 out of 2 CPU at 100% is this normal? [09:18] Rummage: is it just a rhythmbox thing? try audacious [09:19] could anyone tell me how to see if a machine is running server version or desktop version from command line? [09:19] Got the error: Could not display "network:///". [09:19] cat /etc/issue gives me "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [09:19] so is this the desktop version? [09:20] VegasMike: you don't use nautilus for networking: it's not like windoze... [09:20] noren; i am using nvidia driver - the noveau is not even installed [09:20] No can do, don't have audacious installed, convoluted net problems that are irrelevant (don't need fixing because they can't be). However, if it helps, I'm getting the same issue trying film and audio in the movie player, and film in Rhythmbox.

All works fine and smooth but when i look at system monitor there is always 1 out of 2 CPU at 100% is this normal? [09:22] ovidiu: most likely desktop [09:22] thank you [09:22] I have no network on my ubuntu machine, does anyone know where I can download the B43 or STA driver as a package and copy them over to that machine? [09:23] noren: any chance i can chat with you privately ? [09:23] DosH: doesn't look like an ubuntu cd boot, that looks like it's attempting to pxe boot [09:23] Jason: Is that "Network connections?"

[09:23] Hello, I did a fresh install last night of ubuntu will full encrypted filesystem lvm using the advanced cd. All works fine and smooth but when i look at system monitor there is always 1 out of 2 CPU at 100% is this normal? I dont see a process consuming lots of space [09:23] soreau: ikonia: I dont understand it from its a distro cd from linuxuser & developer magazine? [09:24] VegasMike: No. Top right of your Ubuntu panel - next to the time etc [09:24] DosH: Do you know if it's 64 or 32 bit? [09:24] DosH: then I suggest you contact them, as it looks like that CD is not booting properly and looking for pxe boot [09:24] hey guys, where you puts the src of your GNU software sourcecode? [09:25] ....- -|| [09:25] fancybit: where ever you want [09:25] fancybit, are you compiling something? [09:25] ikonia: i see, so no fix to this? could i possibly extract the .iso image from the DVD and burn it to my own? [09:25] DosH: no, I suggest you contact the magazine for support [09:25] DosH: I'm not sure but pxe sound like your system is trying to boot form network. it could be the order of boot you have set in your bios [09:25] networking, wireless and notifications are enabled [09:26] DosH: You don't want that iso image since it's seemingly flawed. Instead, download an official ubuntu iso [09:26] ! download | Dosh [09:26] Dosh: 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!

If so, what is it connected to? [09:27] michiellus: Kill it? [09:27] hello, is there a cli partitioner that can create ext4 partitions? parted doesn't support ext4 [09:27] It says "no network connection" [09:28] my router [09:28] ben_q: cfdisk, fdisk [09:28] VegasMike: Do you know the ip of your router? [09:28] i would like to know wth it is before i kill it and whats the point if it does it every time at startup [09:28] hmm I want to control my ubuntu desktop from my ubutnu laptop what do I need? [09:28] thanks llutz [09:28] I have to boot to windows to check [09:29] ben_q: and btw, ext4 is a filesystem, partition-type would be "Linux 83" [09:29] oh nm [09:29] vnc [09:29] I think I found the config [09:29] ! vnc | michiellus [09:29] "Remote Desktop" menu thing [09:29] michiellus: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [09:29] VegasMike: try 192.168.1.1 in your browser [09:29] thanks soreau [09:30] any idea how to record audio that's playing on the compute? I've tried the command line stuff with arecord and lame etc. and audacity and everything in alsa mixer seems in order [09:30] okay... one moment [09:30] VegasMike: You can double check settings in sys>prefs>networking too [09:34] What was the torrent address for ubuntu 10.04 again sorry?

[09:38] hi, network manager says that i have a wireless connection but when i plug out the cabled it doesnt work [09:38] amd64 or i386 ? [09:38] DosH: do you want 32bit or 64bit [09:39] if you're unsure, get the i386 version [09:39] ikonia: 32 [09:39] thanks Soreau. Jason .. tried 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 with no luck. Firefox suggests I configure my firewall. My router may be the problem but I'm successfully using ubuntu to chat with you via my desktop (which is using the same router). No additional configuration was necessary so hmmmm? [09:39] ikonia: 32bit* [09:40] DosH: i386 then [09:41] VegasMike: what happens if you left-click the network manager applet and select eth0? (if you are plugged in) [09:41] Thanks ikonia and notwok [09:42] I'll try it Jason...

I noticed that you couldn't get any contact with it whatsoever except pinging it. All other services like ssh, ftp, webserver ect was dead. I conneced a screen and a keyboard to it and I saw a screen filled with memory info and out of memory text. It has 0 swap memory. It also tries to kill random processes like...

[10:29] YankDownUnder: sorry I am new to Ubuntu, can you guide me through this? my usb camera used to be working great on windows [10:29] ddvlad, If you want to stop a service, you can look in /etc/init.d/ and remove it from there (like move the script elsewhere) => as well, change the exec bit (chmod -x servicename) [10:29] blendmaster1024: But is there no better way? :P [10:29] <[D]rEa[M]> Hi, i'm using ufw firewall on my ubuntu 10.04.

[10:29] Grenen, it's hosed dude [10:30] reboot already [10:30] blendmaster1024: can't I just turn off the process hogging all memory somehow? [10:30] coz_ here is the link https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/plymouth [10:31] Grenen, if you get out of memory errors, the box is hosed and needs to be rebooted [10:31] Grenen, you could in theory, but it'd be way harder and more painfun then a reboot [10:31] Grenen, you'll need to restart all services anyway. Reboot is quicker [10:32] hey guys ... how can i change plymouth theme ?

[10:33] I would suspect an attack [10:33] YankDownUnder , i just unzip the theme i downloaded in /lib/plymouth and .. ! [10:33] Grenen, Ditto - a port scan or a port attack... [10:34] cobra-the-joker, Um...yes...however, Ubu has some plymouth themes...the structure is /lib/plymouth/themes => that would be where you put them...but bear in mind that sometimes themes for plymouth can cause some issues with your boot....so beware when you're installing something that ain't from the repo's [10:35] YankDownUnder , ok ... i will try some [10:38] hi [10:38] YankDownUnder: Cheesecam worked twice, now it's crashed and not working anymore lol [10:39] What packets do I need to reinstall to get sound working?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:40] sure? [13:40] and ive no idea how to check its entry [13:40] theredundant: so find it in synaptic and look at properties [13:40] i wanted to install ubuntu on external HD and stick witch W7 on laptop, during install i selected the smallest HD - external - to install all, however, no questions were asked about GRUB, now during normal laptop startup i can not start W7 nor ubuntu [13:40] matthiaskrgr_, last [tab] vidual effects [13:40] what is synaptic [13:40] OerHeks: I checked compiz via synaptic and all packages with the name compiz are not installed [13:41] theredundant: package manager [13:41] pietrubens: does grub appear on boot? [13:41] ikonia bruder ola [13:41] I'll try again... My webcam has lovely 640 x 480 quality, but in chrome or firefox it seems like it can only muster 160 x 120 or whatever. Does anyone know how to change this? [13:41] I have to use grandr to enable decent resolution for netbook (broken screen) on my TV, trouble is the settings don't last after reboot. How can I make it permanent? [13:41] matthiaskrgr_, oke, not a compiz issue. [13:41] pietrubens: The last step of the installation there's a button 'advanced' that's where you change the grub install location from sda to sdb or whatever. [13:42] do I have to install special drivers? [13:42] hsa2, tanx. let me try it out [13:42] how does one goto the synaptic? [13:42] nom it says something as no grub or grub detection wrong and it stays in a text environment [13:42] theredundant: System>Admin...> [13:42] now upgrade OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 to 3.21 for ubuntu 10.04 or ppa for OpenOffice.org help me [13:42] theredundant, System>Administration>Synaptic [13:42] Can anyone even read me? [13:42] julikoko: you're welcome [13:42] theredundant: sudo synaptic or just synaptic [13:42] matthiaskrgr_, according to this post the missing bots in OpenArena is a 64bit bug (but i don't believe that, i'm currently installing, but my downloads are slow) http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=209688 [13:42] and it totally stopsm no windows nor ubuntu [13:42] thank you [13:42] JoshyFox, yes. we can read you [13:42] !patience | JoshyFox [13:42] JoshyFox: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait.

[13:42] Hello,I have much issues with Ubuntu 10.04,Like keyboard stops working after seeing a movie for a while,my server crashes alot with it and..,how can I downgrade to 9.1? [13:42] JoshyFox: it's possible nobody knows here, have you tryed the Ubuntu forums? [13:43] or at least by user [13:43] pietrubens: Try the lice CD install and see if you can put grub on the correct drive. [13:43] ZykoticK9: I could play oa on another machine with debian with bots [13:43] I have, yes, and I can't find anything [13:43] pietrubens: *live [13:43] I had 64 bit there, too I think [13:43] matthiaskrgr_, i've always had bots on my 64bit rig!

The "Advanced" button right above "forward" === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [13:44] som i reinstall all or can i just go to change that last step [13:44] i rebooted now it is saying that the file is not marked executatable?

Manually select that external as the install "/" and then make sure the external is set as the location for grub to go... [13:45] pietrubens: Since you already did an install, it may have messed up the Win7 booter. [13:46] i think that is the problem, because i can see all my files and folders still [13:46] please still need help with the .jar in java problem [13:46] pietrubens: I'm assuming you wanted the external to have grub on it and not overwrite teh Win7 boot loader? [13:46] Justice and freedom for Palestina! [13:46] ximal: not sure if its the same, but i use irssi, at joing a server you send automatic commands to the irc server such as '/join ubuntu' and for irssi its in the conifg file it might be the same for finch [13:46] hello everybody.. i used the computer janitor and after used it, some programms have been deleted by some reason.. i cannot install them anymore.. when i use, for example, "sudo apt-get install amsn" it shows me this message: "Package amsn is not available, but is referred to by another package. [13:46] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [13:46] is only available from another source [13:46] E: Package amsn has no installation candidate [13:46] " [13:46] bandeira: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:47] pietrubens: Then when you want to boot, make sure the BIOS selects the USB drive. It'll detect grub there and boot. [13:48] pietrubens: usually a windows repair boot CD. [13:48] good morning, I have a quick question. I'm a Linux noobie, and I've been trying to install Ubuntu Server 64bit. The issue I'm having is everything loads but when it comes to actual installation it cannot mount the CDROM. It attempts to but always fails. [13:48] now upgrade OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 to 3.21 for ubuntu 10.04 or ppa for OpenOffice.org help me [13:48] The Palestinian like ubuntu:S [13:48] pietrubens: Which is why we should get at least ubuntu running so we can make that CD [13:48] I've done some google searches and most issues are with CDROMS not mounting with an already installed system [13:49] ok [13:49] Adam_T_: check iso, clean the disk, use a new clean disk, check BIOS settings , (try those) [13:49] does anyone know how to get upstart to output stuff when using "start $some_service" ? the "console output" does not seem to do anything for me [13:49] Adam_T_, are you trying to install us a USB drive by chance? [13:49] Adam_T_, a USB driver/key i mean [13:49] no, it's an older Dell DIminsion system, AMD 64 X2 processor [13:49] 80GB HDD [13:50] i will try to reinstall ubuntu on external hd, but earlier, in my bios i did not see option for usb startup [13:50] pietrubens: There may be a way to just load grub on the external now. Not sure what method that is though. I just did a quick install when I messed it up the first time. (I loaded Ubuntu on a USB thumb drive.) [13:50] Adam_T_, ok just checkin'. You might want to try asking in #ubuntu-server as it's a server install [13:50] sgflt sudo service SOmeService start ->tells me if service was stopped/started [13:51] and how to enter bios again? is it shift+f12? [13:51] or F8 [13:51] I will thanks! I am at work now so not really anything I can do now. I've always wanted to use Ubuntu but never had a spare system, but thankfully my old work system died and I was able to take it home. I'll do more research and join later when I'm actually working on the system [13:51] appreciate the suggesstions [13:51] littlepenguin, i have a simple upstart config (two lines: console output \n exec "hello, world"). if i run it, i get ".... starting" and a pid, it is actually started - but i do not see any output [13:51] have a good day [13:51] hallo zusammen [13:51] pietrubens: Different computers have different options. DEL, F2, F11. just keep rebooting, you'll see a message. [13:52] sgflt: #upstart [13:52] !opstart [13:52] !upstart [13:52] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [13:52] erUSUL, noone's home [13:52] pietrubens: Then you just change the boot order so the USB is ffirst. [13:52] last times when i rebooted after problems did NOT show any more messages [13:52] hat jemand eine lösung, wie ich meinen steam chat (also rein textbasierend) in mein pidgin bekomme? unter google finde ich da überhaupt nix brauchbares! [13:52] ok I lost my volume control from the my top panal I try add to panel and see no volume thing to add. where did it go?

[13:54] ZykoticK9: nope that doesn't seem to be it [13:54] department of defense [13:54] department of defense=dod [13:54] sacarlson, then your issue may be larger then just having removed the volume control. do you have sound? [13:55] ZykoticK9: let me check [13:55] i will reinstallm thanks and i zill come back after reinstall [13:55] sacarlson, did you try to remove/disable pulse in some manner? [13:56] wc [13:56] pietrubens: Something should show, odd BIOS. Just mash those F-keys on boot. [13:56] is there a tool for having seperate window bars for each monitor? [13:56] ZykoticK9: ya I just blasted get your wings and couldn't turn down the volume woke up my nabor [13:56] hello everybody.. i used the computer janitor and after used it, some programms have been deleted by some reason.. i cannot install them anymore.. when i use, for example, "sudo apt-get install amsn" it shows me this message: "Package amsn is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. E: Package amsn has no installation candidate " [13:56] ZykoticK9: sound is good [13:56] bandeira: what is that "computer janitor" ?? [13:56] sacarlson, did you try to remove/disable pulse in some manner? [13:57] ZykoticK9: I don't think so [13:57] erUSUL: you can open it following system / administration / computer janitor [13:57] ZykoticK9: I can still control volume with aumix [13:57] ZykoticK9: just lost the aplet [13:57] sacarlson, ok - if you disable pulse you won't be able to use the default volume control - that's why i'm asking. [13:57] erUSUL: it's part of the Administrator tools. [13:58] Russell``: you are the admin of bnc4free ? [13:58] yes [13:58] ZykoticK9: ok if I somehow did how do I turn it back on? [13:58] hehe, we finally meet [13:58] sacarlson, is it installed? "apt-cache policy indicator-sound" [13:59] Russell``: I tried to get a bnc4free account one or two weeks ago, but I couldn't access it, [13:59] o,o [13:59] something was wrong with the password [13:59] ZykoticK9 Installed: 0.2.3-0ubuntu1 [13:59] kuttan_ hi [13:59] probably means the bot didnt add the account properly but i can add it now o,o [13:59] I sent a mail to the bnc4free service address [13:59] how to get seperate window bars for each monitor? [14:00] that would be great :) [14:00] sacarlson, do you see the mail icon? [14:00] hi all. what option do i have to install ubuntu in a old desktop with just a cdrom player? [14:00] the bouncer was for the name matthiaskrgr, but I am still logged in as ta [14:00] *with tha n [14:00] cant read dvd and cant burn dvd or cd [14:00] *with that name [14:00] ZykoticK9: oh no I deleted that mail thing that must have done it [14:00] shall I log out ? [14:00] sacarlson, right click panel / add to panel / indicator applet (where we started!) [14:00] cant boot from usb. bios dont have this option. [14:01] anyone any idea ...thanks [14:01] ZykoticK9: ok that worked this time [14:01] adi11: have a friend burn you the iso to a cd, or order one from shipit and wait [14:02] ZykoticK9: there was two that started with indicator I think I picked the wrong one [14:02] i did ordered one from shipit. i will let you know when will come :):):) [14:02] ZykoticK9: thanks by the way [14:02] not before i will be 80 [14:02] sacarlson, glad to help [14:04] hello, i screwed something up in the dkpg cache/db - when i try to fix with dpkg --configure -a, it gives me "dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0005' near line 0". is there a "nuclear option" to reinitialize dkpg's cache? [14:04] anyone know how to make changes in grandr (xrandr gui) permenant? Ubuntu always reverts to mirroring my screen [14:04] Russell``: I joined the bnc4free irc now [14:04] I hate to ask but why is mail part of volume control? when I deleted it I had no idea they were conected. [14:05] Bauldrick, make the settings in xorg.conf would be one method [14:05] adi11: http://www.plop.at/ if you have a cd writer, I suggest you use plop,... it will boot your usb even though you dont have the capability in your bios. [14:06] collabra nice thx for that info also [14:06] sacarlson, they both utilize the Panel's Indicator area (you're removing the area they both use) [14:06] what command do i use with "sudo fdisk -l" to see partition sizes? [14:06] Bauldrick: the same changes in System>Preferences>display does not work ? [14:06] adi11: sorry ----> http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [14:07] kubanc: you might want to try gparted [14:07] littlepenguin: np [14:07] kubanc: partition sizes are displayed in sectors ... parted can prin them in conventional units « sudop parted /dev/sdx print » [14:07] any idea why my mobile internet (3g) fails to connect to the internet with huawei e510? I looked up all the information on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G [14:07] kubanc, would "df -h" work? [14:07] erUSUL: no - infact I lose toolbars at top and bottom of screen as soon as I 'un-mirror' the screen via that method [14:08] erUSUL, thanks for that tip you sent kubanc. I did not know how to do that. [14:08] Bauldrick: :/ in theory both guis use the same randr extensions ... [14:08] ZykoticK9: no problem [14:09] are there any concrete reasons why x86_64 version is not suitable for desktop use? [14:09] Ive installed the fglrx driver, but I cannot seem to get ubuntu to use it. Any ideas? [14:09] as stated on the download page [14:09] Raydiation: did your 3g ever work? how fast is that thing if it did? [14:10] sacarlson: maybe yu deleted the indocator applet that hlds volume control and the mail indicator and other thing [14:10] shylent, i agree that the website has a "bug" re the 64bit statement see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [14:10] Bauldrick: dunno; maybe you can use the cli tool « xrandr » and put a call to it in /etc/rc.local ? [14:10] erUSUL: yes that's exactly what I did I don't use that mail thing so I deleted it not knowing it was taking my volume control with it. [14:11] hey guys...its been a while since I get this... and the only solution i found was setting rootdelay= but... take a look and see if there is anything I missed at the drop to busy box http://pastebin.com/YYQeNW2i [14:11] shylent: none whatsoever,... I've been using the 64 bit version and it is stable and secure... I've never had any problems with it. [14:12] sacarlson: i just sticked it into the laptop [14:12] ZykoticK9, collabra: : I mean, I've been using linux for years, both as a desktop "personal" OS and on servers (obviously both x86 and x86_64), but I can't ignore something written in big fat letters on the main page :) [14:12] sacarlson: fails to connect to gsm [14:12] ErUSUL: I am running out of space on my panel so I deleted it [14:12] so.. yeah [14:12] Raydiation: so I guess the answer is it never worked? [14:12] My sites: http://compu.boo.pl/ and http://forum.compu.boo.pl/ [14:12] coz_: make sure the root device is the correct one ? ( that's the other option mentioned) === OerHeks is now known as Oer [14:13] saibamen: do not spam here please [14:13] sacarlson: dunno :) [14:13] spam is mean :( [14:13] erUSUL, ok ...hot to sound to dumb exactly how would I do that [14:13] sacarlson: a friend gave his laptop to me, i should make it work for ubuntu [14:13] !spam [14:13] coz_: from a livecd check that that diesk exist [14:13] coz_: from a livecd check that that disk/partition still exist [14:13] erUSUL, ok thanks [14:13] sacarlson: anyway i pm you later, i just saw that he didnt update for over 2 months [14:13] coz_: ls -l [14:13] Raydiation: ok I should refrase it never worked for YOU the 3g thing. [14:14] coz_: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/d7007432-d-78e-4cd4-9b23-29f0a20fe675 [14:14] what is the best compression method in terms of size (time is not an option)? [14:15] mrman208: xz. [14:15] mrman208: you mean time is not a relevant parameter ? [14:15] dcordes: Yes [14:16] mrman208: I'm no expert on compression but I'm sure it depends on the data you are compresing [14:16] dcordes: This is a 1GB folder full of about 4 folders full of audio files [14:16] mrman208: what audio files ? [14:16] mrman208: mpeg layer 3 encoded ? [14:17] I'll check [14:17] mrman208: mpeg is already compresed [14:17] mp3, ok [14:17] but, then again, there are quite a few (non-audio) files in there as well [14:17] mrman208: if it's already compresed not likly you can make it much smaller [14:17] Hi! I'm trying to install a network card (an intel 8391GT). While it is found by the os (it appears in lspci), and the correct driver is loaded (e1000), lshw lists it as "disabled", and it does not appear in ifconfig. Do you have any ideas on how it might be activated? I'd much appreciate any hints. Thanks! [14:18] chestnut: Have you tried running "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"? [14:19] chestnut: Wait, first, how many cards do you have? [14:20] chestnut: How many wireless cards do you have? [14:20] ok [14:20] is there any command to see disk specifications in terminal? [14:20] mrman208: It's the only card I have, but ifconfig eth0 up returns "No such device". Only eth2 up is successful. [14:21] kubanc: sudo lshw -C storage [14:21] try ifconfig wlan0 up [14:21] Hi, I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on a macbook, my wireless doesnt seem to be working after suspend [14:21] i can see all the wireless networks, i just cant join them [14:21] mrman208: It's a wire-based ethernet card :-) [14:21] kramer3d: Are you within decent range of the networks? [14:21] chestnut: Ah.. [14:22] yes [14:22] kramer3d: What exaclty happens when you try to join them? [14:22] chestnut: what card is eth2 ? [14:23] chestnut: check dmesg for clues as to what is happening [14:23] How would turn a Ubuntu server machine into a "torrent" server? [14:23] kramer3d: I've even seen windows xp have that problem with wifi after suspend mode. I think they need to reload the nvram [14:24] how do i get into recovery mode? i've tried hitting esc and shift to see the grub list. ps: i only have ubuntu installed on the machine. [14:24] erUSUL: lshw says eth2 is the new card (shouldn't it be eth0, though, as the only network interface?). Thanks for the hint regarding dmesg, I'll check that right away. Please give me a sec! [14:24] mrman208: install a torrent tracker software ? [14:25] jpds, and how do se disk size, not partitions... [14:25] erUSUL: Oh, just that simple :P. What would you reccomend? [14:25] kubanc: df -h [14:25] chestnut: well card renaming can happen. udev can mess up sometimes [14:25] kleenex: inside the grub config the timer is set to 0 ... which means instant boot ... i'm afraid that is not an option without changing that value. [14:25] chestnut: check /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules <<< [14:26] mrman208: really dunno... i think the ubuntu trackers use bittornado === boy_bsx is now known as chierichetto [14:26] erUSUL: I use Transmission on my Mac. Is there some command-line version of that? [14:26] kleenex: shift should work if you are using grub2 [14:27] mrman208: dunno; and also i do not know if transmission can work as tracker [14:27] erUSUL: Ok, I'm a bit confused. What do you mean by a tracker? [14:28] mrman208: tracker is the server side of torrents. is the software that pass info around between clients about the toorent [14:28] torrent* [14:29] erUSUL: Ok, so what I kind of want to do is have a machine that can run something like Transmission so I can download/seed torrents without it taking up RAM/CPU on my Mac [14:29] w [14:29] there is a red ! sign on my wireless card icon in my upper panel on screen... does that mean there is a problem? [14:30] I found out that I couldn't use my usb keyboard at boot in grub2 to change kernel at boot. I had to find a working old keyboard with the old plug [14:30] mrman208: so you want a headless/nogui *client* not a tracker... [14:30] erUSUL: Correct [14:30] erUSUL: Sorry for the confusion [14:31] mrman208: rtorrent works in cli only. you can use it via ssh. there are others that can offer a webui [14:31] !torrent [14:31] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [14:31] mrman208, if you transmission may have a web front end (not sure), torrentflux is an addin for apache that is a torrent-download server. other clients have web front ends as well i imagine. [14:31] sacarlson: i tried it on win7 works flawlessly [14:32] for ubuntu it always gives me a popup with gsm disconnected [14:32] My friend needs Xvid and Mp3 playback on a computer that is not connected to the internet. Does ubuntu have them on the default install disk? [14:32] Raydiation1: how fast? 3g [14:32] ZykoticK9, erUSUL: Ok, I think I will go with Transmission as it has a Web Interface. Thanks!! [14:32] mrman208: ok [14:32] Also need to install Banshee on an Ubuntu 9.01 Machine that has no internet. Could someone guide me? [14:32] cbx: no; [14:33] Or guide me on making a custom install disk with the needed stuff? [14:33] Hi, I want to install vnc viewer, but there are many. Could anybody recommend me a good one? thanks [14:33] sacarlson: yes, huawei e510 [14:34] how can I make removable drives to be mounted automatically on use?

[15:06] _chown_ _660_ ? [15:06] sorry, a tiny mistake... i changed the permission to 660, and the owner to root:media [15:06] either chmod 550 or chown media:media [15:07] RichiH: sorry, that was a mistake, i meant chmod to 660 and chown to root:media [15:07] you need the execute bit [15:07] hi [15:07] directories need to be executable [15:07] oh okay, thanks [15:07] joona: iv'e never experimented with ubuntu studio ,... but if it's a live cd, well,... i dunno [15:08] RichiH: Thanks!

[15:09] that way, all files created in the dir (and subdirs) will be forced to a specific permission set that you specify [15:09] adalal: i last did that in... 2005? [15:09] Okay, so no Live-CD for 10.04? [15:09] so.. no idea [15:09] lol [15:10] it involved lots of cussing, thouhg [15:10] joona: i'm looking at the website, and it doesn't say anything about it being live. [15:10] and foaming at the mouth [15:10] so yah, have fun, i guess :p [15:11] collabra: Aww, ok [15:11] RichiH: I'm not liking that.. lol, I'm trying to create a server for the house with the media shared..

[15:12] adalal: it shares all media across the network [15:12] anyone [15:13] RichiH: thanks.. i shouldve realised that.. i thought it had to do with forcing all files to a permission.. [15:13] help me [15:13] point in case, when i switch on my upnp-av server on the htc desire, i can watch the video & pics and listen to the music on it on my tv [15:13] how can i expand my linux disk space [15:13] use partion editor prof [15:13] Professor_G: buy a new disk drive?

[16:07] Kwpolska, that really wasn't needed [16:07] LOL [16:07] im using 10.04 ,does anyone know if it is possible to use a joystick to move the mouse pointer instead of using a mouse? [16:07] phuzion: get the job id with "jobs", and then "fg %" [16:07] i don't know [16:07] phuzion: just "fg" will probably work for you by default :-) [16:07] check the support list [16:07] no such job [16:07] on ubuntu site [16:07] dludldin: I think thart you can try qjoypad. also, there is ctrl+shift+numlock to use numpad [16:07] howdy [16:07] dludldin: qjoypad [16:07] hi folks.. i'd like to know which program i can use for resizing my partitions? [16:08] phuzion: beg pardon, mist-tell [16:08] bandeira: gparted [16:08] jigal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [16:08] hi all, tell me link so that i can paste my terminal text [16:09] going through a video now. will confirm in 3 min. [16:09] Hello trying to upgrade to 10.10 with this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-1010-maverick.html but the second step doesn't work [16:09] dludldin, yes and no. long answer is it' probably won't work. If you figure out how to get the joystick controlling the pointer, which i have done previously, it doesn't get to the corners, and only goes in a circle. you may also run into an issue/bug where when you press any button it crashes the controls/or xorg... other then those two hurdles - good luck man. hope you have better luck then me (i didn't have the crash bug BTW, but my butto [16:09] ns didn't do "clicks" either) [16:09] !maverick | allu2 [16:09] allu2: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:09] ZykoticK9: whooah.

[16:13] gimmickless_, it's a flash issue - forget about it! [16:13] * BluesKaj prefers Gparted as well, but that's because I tried the others first [16:14] hello!

[16:14] gimmickless_, there is a bug if you search launchpad - which one of the comments has the same steps as i linked you [16:15] not fstab it's something within gnome it seems [16:15] my point is resizing the filesystem.. i guess i should umount before doing it. is it that possible while i'm logged on?

[16:18] jigal: do you have any options under the unknown monitor?

[16:55] BluesKaj: looking at it right now [16:56] littlepenguin: yeah [16:56] gnusiva: bg PID ? [16:56] frojnd, so ifconfig shows eth0 and the ip set in same network?

[16:57] gnusiva: use « jobs » to see the job number [16:57] anirvana: glad to help :). If the problem reoccurs, it might be a good idea to install the "ntp" package, which will do that automatically for you [16:57] padhu1, ftp, ssh and similar [16:57] littlepenguin: Don't seem to be have all the variables for eth0/inet [16:57] littlepenguin: failed to bring up eth0 [16:57] erusul: but when i give jobs there is no jobs [16:57] frojnd pm me lspci [16:57] rww : ah ok [16:58] brontoeee: like giver [16:58] gnusiva: then the daemon has detacched itself from the terminal you can not bring it to foreground afaik [16:58] thx for the help guys [16:59] erusul: is there any way to see its output [16:59] Marikos,does the windows partition show up in etc/fstab , probly as dev/sda1 or similar [17:00] god this is giving me a headache. [17:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB doesnt work either [17:00] hi all, what framebuffer does ubuntu use as default on the live cds? I noticed the modules for the framebuffers are blacklisted [17:00] jshriver: have you thought about modifying the script that you use to grab the data? [17:01] can any one help me plz http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2yMS0XCf [17:01] yeah but it's really crappy written in php [17:01] i want to bring my process to fogeground http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2yMS0XCf [17:01] that would prob be easier, but at the same time this seems rediculous to go through so much trouble to disable a feature [17:01] BluesKaj: no, it does not show up in my fstab [17:01] so kinda want to figure it out so if I ever need to know again I'll know [17:01] what is gvm? [17:02] some articles reference it and hal [17:02] !gvm [17:03] just seems odd so many articles talk about making similiar changes but it simply doesnt work. disabling automount in nautilus and auto browse [17:03] jshriver: I'd guess gnome-volume-manager (for managing volumes, not sound) [17:03] command not found though [17:03] gnusiva: the very fact that it is a daemon, makes it not possible to attach it to your shell [17:04] jshriver: Its not used in >= karmic [17:04] what replaces it? [17:04] hi all, i installed the unity interface and the indicator applet in thre gnome session now shows the clock. How do i disable this? [17:04] gnusiva: only processes *not* 'daemonized' run (as child) in your shell, and appear in your 'jobs' list. Then it is possible to 'disown' that process [17:04] Marikos, hmm, the only thing I can recommend is durn a copy of Ultimate Boot CD , it can be used to find and repair your windows mbr (master boot record) , but make sure you run sudo update-grub the next time you boot into ubuntu. [17:05] err burn [17:05] BluesKaj: okay. I'll give that a try later. I'm at work and without an optical drive on that computer [17:05] ocean_: i cant understand, can u tell me in simple workds [17:05] ocean_: i cant understand, can u tell me in simple words [17:06] BluesKaj: I was able to run the restore partition with no problem, which was odd given that it didn't seem to touch grub [17:06] how can I upgrade php to 5.3 in my ubuntu 9.10? [17:06] The repository is 5.2 as latest [17:06] gnusiva: 1) A "normal" process will start in your shell, and is in your 'jobs' list. 2) A "daemon" process will detach from shell, no way to re-attach it to your shell [17:07] Marikos, there are some grub gurus here , but they haven't made any suggestions , but I'll ask ..does any one else have an idea about Marikos' xp boot problem? [17:07] when upgrading from 9.x --> 10.x, what would change that would cause X to over exert itself (mainly when switching desktops / windows / etc, but even typing text) [17:07] screen updates are sloooow [17:08] can I upgrade php on my 9.10 when it is not in the apt repos [17:08] ? [17:08] ocean_: thank u very much, but i have one more doubt that is there any other way to get responce from a daemon? [17:08] gnusiva, ask daemon for its status [17:08] gnusiva: yes, you should redirect that output "in" the daemon executable. [17:08] hi guys, few days ago, during the regular update of my karmic koala, my firefox gets updated too to 3.6.8+build1+nobir and since than i am unable to watch any multimedia content in firefox [17:09] gnusiva: so whatever it is that your daemonscript does, redirect the output to a logfile, start the daemon and then you can access the logfile [17:10] ocean_: really useful message sir, u saved my time [17:10] gnusiva: glad I could help :) [17:11] Marikos, so have you tried to boot windows since restoring the partition? [17:11] BluesKaj: yes. It still hangs at that cursor [17:12] ok [17:12] hello, is there any thing I can do to make my wireless connection more stable? the computer and the router are not moving and the signal strenght is just going down and going up, any ideas? [17:12] n-iCe: chipset ? [17:12] The main ubuntu repo says its got wine1.2 but its exact version is wine_1.1.42... is it 1.2 or not? [17:12] is there any way to revert back to 3.5 version of firefox or to get multimedia working in the current version of firefox [17:12] duffydack: it is the beta yes [17:12] quick question: are the drivers on intels web site newer then the ones included in lucid? http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=9722&ProdId=922&lang=eng [17:13] can someone help me please...somehow i lost the (power ON/OFF) Icon from my indicator applet and i don't know how to get it [17:13] noone ? [17:13] erUSUL, beta? winehq says 1.2 is stable [17:13] duffydack: the wine ppa works very well and has the final version [17:13] !latest | duffydack [17:13] duffydack: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

I guess I`ll use the ppa but its latest version is 1.3.0 beta [17:14] oCean_: E: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules-wireless [17:14] mcl0vin sorry "add to panel" it is called [17:14] neyo: i'm saying those could be the problem (not that they will fix it) [17:15] mcl0vin the applet is called "indicator applet session" [17:16] Ahh, ive got it now.. nevermind.. [17:16] marikos: you have xp + what [17:16] Installed Ubuntu with the Wubi application and it's not recognising my wireless card and as such I cannot connect to the Internet. Tried a few things including the ndiswrapper or whatever, just want someone who really knows their stuff to give me some personalized help with getting my wireless up and running [17:16] mcl0vin: hmm.. nerdy_kid is absolutely right.. indicator applet session is probably the one you're looking for, "shut down..." is just for shutting the computer down [17:17] n-iCe: linux-backports-modules-wireless-generic [17:17] n-iCe: the package name has kernel-name extension. Try like this: linux-backports-modules-wireless-`uname -r` I'm not sure if it has modules for your wireless adapter.. [17:17] yes [17:17] I have a weird use-case: I have two keyboards plugged in. If I hold "shift" on one keyboard, I want that to affect the other. This doesn't happen out-of-box: anybody know how I can get this to work? [17:18] (I'm using one keyboard for each hand) [17:18] (ergonomics for cheap!) [17:19] nerdy_kid: you are correct. that what it was :) i ve look for this hmmm for 6 month almost [17:19] hello guys.... [17:19] /join #ubuntu-es [17:19] lol [17:19] xD [17:20] ryan_: I have xp and lucid [17:21] ryan_: lucid boots just fine, and XP was autodetected and has an entry in the grub menu [17:21] hi, is there any deb/ppa/repo with thunderbird-3.1.2-amd64 known? [17:21] ryan_: however, selecting it fails to boot the XP partition [17:21] mcl0vin lol shouldve came over here earlier! ;) [17:21] Installed Ubuntu with the Wubi application and it's not recognising my wireless card and as such I cannot connect to the Internet. Tried a few things including the ndiswrapper or whatever, just want someone who really knows their stuff to give me some personalized help with getting my wireless up and running [17:21] ryan_: and it hangs with nothing but a blinking underscore cursor [17:21] t-: Do you know what wireless chipset you have? [17:21] hey all [17:21] erm [17:22] how can i change the default boot OS in grub2 [17:22] I'll look in device manager [17:22] Marikos I did not see your grub problem. But when Lucid updates kernel it should find xp. Has it updated since you had the problem? [17:22] in everyones experience, how decent is clamav on windows machines? [17:22] zcript: variable GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub [17:22] i want to know if it is worth the 4 hour scan to check my windows drive using clamav or if i should just go use housecall or something [17:22] it says, it's a Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter [17:22] I'd assume thats the fella [17:23] erkan^, ping [17:23] hi [17:23] mimcpher: in which line?

[17:25] i have noticed that in 9.10 gnome desktiop... the system menu in top panel doesn't appear the icons [17:25] why it's that? [17:25] i have a problem with the netbook version of ubuntu, when i turn the pc on it says "error: no such device: 372a3c72-ad2e-4b0f-4b0f-879a-412csbd34aaf." the grub rescue any advise?

Or the drive it thinks is there. [17:26] what does that mean? [17:26] Knifas: did you just install ubuntu?

Are you able to boot windows? [17:27] no [17:28] Marikos That doesn't sound good.(Sorry) Lucid boots I assume? I suggest you try supergrub legacy to boot xp. As a temp measure.

I'd like to find a method of search an entire file system for a file then use the pipe command to have grep search for a string of text & only return the result if it exists. And to show me not just the name of the file, but is location. But for its basic form, I've seen multiple expamples which state that this should do it: locate filename |grep 'TextToFind'. I have been able to get this to function using t [17:49] he find command like this: find -name 'file1' -exec grep -l 'Bash' {} \; . But once again, the documentation I've seen says that it can be done simply like this: locate file1|grep 'Bash'. Is there a simpler way of doing this? Thanks. [17:49] need help with vsftpd on ubuntu server. Anyone able to help configuring users? [17:49] MarkRich: try in #bash [17:49] it asks for the name of the room i did not know that there is an option for get list but when i cliced that the list is blank [17:49] it doesn't load the usb stick [17:49] Jason: just ask the question [17:49] OK thanks [17:50] I'm running 10.04. I installed PVM (pvm, pvm-dev, libpvm3) and am trying to run some software that depends on it. [17:50] It seems most PVM apps expect the group server executable to be in $PVM_ROOT/bin/$PVM_ARCH/pvmgs/ where PVM_ARCH=LINUX, but there are no directories like this. [17:50] pvmgs is in /usr/bin and symlinked from /usr/lib/pvm3/lib [17:50] I want to allow only specific users to have ftp access and constrain them to a folder other than their home [17:50] Knifas: did you check your bios to make sure it is loading usb first? [17:50] where I must write /list or /msg command? [17:50] is my account information alright ? [17:50] papna-work: where did you install these applications from ? [17:50] Is there info on the topics that are permitted in here so I know? [17:50] MarkRich: ubuntu support [17:51] Marikos OK. Sounds like you are working it. Hard for me to suggest that again. Did you reformat during reinstall? I personally would install a different distro over the Lucid. However I am not familar with netbooks. [17:51] MarkRich: type "/topic" to see more [17:51] qwert: in the text box you enter anything else [17:51] ikonia: PVM or the software using PVM? [17:51] how do i check that my account has logged into the yahoo messenger? [17:51] i couldent run bios, thats why i did a wubi install [17:51] MarkRich: Bash is on-topic here, but you'll probably get faster support by asking in its channel. [17:51] ikonia: The former from Ubuntu's repositories. The latter I compiled. [17:51] couldn´t [17:51] papna-work: either/both [17:51] papna-work: ok - so your compilation software you need to specify the correct paths to [17:51] ikonia: Or in some cases got people's binaries. [17:52] nirvaana69: if u open pidgin u c if u are connected or u get an error [17:52] papna-work: then you need to speak to the people who make those binaries [17:52] OK, so this is a channel which people can ask Qs about Ubuntu but for this specific subject it would be best to check out the bash channel, is that right? [17:52] !u | chemical-death [17:52] chemical-death: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language.

[17:52] in mananging accounts what should be the settings if iam from india? [17:52] MarkRich: Exactly. [17:52] MarkRich: you may get a quicker/better response [17:52] OK, thanks. [17:52] nirvaana69: your location doesn't matter for managing accounts [17:53] sacarlson: what exactly is nomodeset ? [17:53] ikonia: Ubuntu puts stuff in a non-standard place. [17:53] papna-work: so ? [17:53] ikonia: These are plain calls to the pvm library functions [17:53] papna-work: so ? [17:53] why dont i get a room list? [17:53] papna-work: software should by dynamically linked, not static, so the libary call shouldn't matter [17:54] but i installed it in a another hard drive that didn´t had the windows but had some files that i couldn´t move [17:54] radi: I don't know after you told me I checked and still can't tell it's some majic in the kernel i guess [17:54] have a wubi error on friends machine, no hal.dll, and I can't find a hal.dll in system32 or system32\dllcache using systemrescuecd [17:54] jimcooncat: that's not a wubi issues, thats a windows issue. join ##windows for windows support [17:54] yes, but what it its function, i want to know, but cant find any proper info on the net [17:54] ikonia: So either Ubuntu screwed up and I should file a bug or I don't know something about what I'm doing. In neither case is the ideal situation to *make other software nonstandard*. [17:54] Knifas: you need to get into your bios [17:54] ikonia? [17:55] ikonia: This isn't finding the library to link, this is finding the path of an executable. [17:55] how [17:55] i uninstalled all but the most recent kernel. but still windows loader is missing from the grup list at startup. what can i do? :( [17:55] chemical death? [17:55] ikonia: according to the wubi docs, it's a common wubi problem [17:55] ikonia: By a doubly-configurable system Ubuntu isn't following AFAICT. [17:55] papna-work: a.) it's not non-standard b.) software packages should be built dynamic so there are no hardcoded paths, it's not an ubuntu issue. Speak to the people who make the binaries === chidge_ is now known as chidge [17:55] ikonia: Path's aren't hardcoded. They're configurable. [17:55] papna-work: then change that paths to the correct path [17:55] ikonia: They are configurable by *two options* [17:55] jimcooncat, go here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide and scroll down to windows missin hal.dll [17:55] nirvaana69: Do you see your pidgin window? [17:56] ikonia: But Ubuntu places the binaries in a weird directory tree not compatible with these options. [17:56] how do i access my bios? [17:56] ya it says available [17:56] coz_: yes, that's what I'm looking at. But I don't see a backup hal.dll. How do a do a recursive "find"? [17:56] since when i turned on my computer the error message appears [17:56] ikonia: It is not standard POSIX placing nor is it standard PVM placing, the two of which aren't especially compatible. It is a third thing that does not allow the software to be useful AFAICT. [17:56] Knifas: usually, you have to hit a button during boot, like del, esc, f5, f1, f2, tab, or something [17:56] but not with a green dot as if it is waiting to connect [17:57] Knifas: at boot time it will tell you to push some key like f2 or something then the bios mod screen will come up [17:57] i don't get that message [17:57] i have a rapid boot or something [17:57] somebody help, my windows loader option is missing form the grub list at startup :( [17:57] but now what [17:57] erUSUL, I send it and nothing don't show me [17:58] nirvaana69: it's not connected? is it waiting for connection? [17:58] dkgbond3: are you in ubuntu? [17:58] yes [17:58] karmic koala [17:58] papna-work: configure the softrware to use the locations on ubuntu [17:58] Knifas: every bios is different you should see some flash that says something [17:58] dkgbond3: what is the output when you run `sudo os-prober` [17:58] Knifas: or your computer is broken [17:58] i don´´t [17:58] it isnt [17:59] coz_: never mind, I found two copies of the file [17:59] Knifas: you may not see any message, but you still need to press a button [17:59] Knifas: look up the model of your computer and find out what key to hold [17:59] it was fine before i installed wubi [17:59] ok [17:59] nirvaana69: are you you did use the correct nick and password? [17:59] qwert: /msg alis ¿? [18:00] qwert: what did you searched for ? [18:00] no output [18:00] dkgbond3- go to this link and download the cleaner script,this should work http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubucleaner-simple-bash-script-to-keep-your-ubuntu-system-clean.html [18:01] hey guys got a very very very simple question (; [18:01] ikonia: I would like to run correctly-written software. This is evidently not impossible without modification, or if it is you certainly cannot tell me how to do so. [18:01] when i log into gdm it takes me to the GNome Desktop.. How can i set it by default to take me to CLI? [18:01] papna-work: software should be dynamically linked, that is the correct way to write it, so there is no problem if your software is dyanamically linked [18:01] dkgbon3-- i use that script everytime i update my kernel [18:01] Knifas: I know, you are running into a serious error. The best that you can do is try to recover [18:01] so when i log in it kills Gnome and drops to CLI? [18:01] (or at least DWM (:) [18:01] @neyo: thanks, let me try :) [18:02] ikonia: You clearly do not understand my question. This is not a linking issue. This is not a library issue at all. This is a binary issue, as I said originally. [18:02] the very second i turn my pc on it says this "error: no such device: 372a3c72-ad2e-4b0f-4b0f-879a-412csbd34aaf." "grub recover" [18:02] @dkgbond3 all the best :) [18:02] papna-work: ok - so you said that was configurable, so point it at the correct path for the binary [18:02] picard1421: disable gdm altogether [18:02] i want to use GDM [18:02] to login [18:03] but i dont want it to go to Gnome desktop erUSUL [18:03] and i restarted after upgrading ubuntu [18:03] i want it to go to DWM or CLI... i know its a very strange request.. but still i know its possible (: [18:03] that when the problem came [18:03] Hi , guys can you help me with Aircrack-NG ? forgot the password and 20 users at the same time cant restart :( [18:03] ikonia: You either are not listening or I am not expressing myself well. The location of the binary--"/usr/lib/pvm3/lib/pvmgs"--is strange and not compatible with the configuration options, which require more general parameters to locate lots of files. [18:04] i tried g talk [18:04] ikonia: They didn't account for /usr/lib/pvm3/lib as being a directory of binaries, let alone for a specific platform. [18:04] and it says enter a conference server to query? [18:04] rww, hello there. [18:04] what is that [18:04] ikonia: Am I correct to understand you cannot offer me any concrete advice? [18:05] papna-work: you said you could configure the path to the binaries ? [18:05] papna-work: is that not correct ? [18:05] Knifas: did you figure out how to get into your bios? [18:05] ikonia: I said I could not configure them to the place Ubuntu put them. [18:05] papna-work: the path also (from your earlier comment) looks to be an environment varible for the path to binaries or did I read that wrong [18:05] Which is bizarre and non-standard. [18:05] papna-work: how are you meant to configure them ? [18:06] papna-work, mabe the manual is any help ? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/pvm_intro.1PVM.html [18:06] papna-work: does it call a hardcoded path, or does it query the users $PATH ? [18:06] ibrahim-kasem, you followed the instructiosn here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528276 so after that what happen? any error? [18:06] hello everybody! can somebody tell me, how can I repair a demaged .mov file? (header missing) [18:06] ikonia: It queries multiple PVM* environmental variables. [18:06] abhijit, yes but i forgot what was it :$ [18:06] papna-work: is there one for the binary path ? [18:06] Oer: thank you. :) I have already read it. [18:07] abhijit, I will test it again and remember the exact error [18:07] every time i turn my pc on it goes straight to the error message [18:07] i cant [18:07] ikonia: There are two that are inperpolated to form the binary path that cannot form the one Ubuntu uses AFAICT. [18:07] ibrahim-kasem, you can copy down the error in gedit. [18:07] ikonia: Take care. [18:07] Knifas: what is the model if your netbook? [18:07] papna-work: sorry, can you explain that again [18:07] eeepc 1000H [18:07] Knifas: the 1000? [18:07] yeah [18:08] guy do you know how to install a modem driver on hp laptop [18:08] Knifas: f2 [18:08] !details | ibrahim-kasem [18:08] ibrahim-kasem: 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 ..." === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [18:08] i know [18:09] How to install a modem driver for my laptop hp dv6 1045ee [18:09] hardware [18:09] ibrahim-kasem, type /j #hardware [18:09] #hardware [18:09] i tried [18:09] i doesnt allow [18:09] ikonia: what is papna-work talking about? I had to go back 3 pages and didn't get a clue. [18:09] it [18:10] sacarlson: nonsense is what was being talked about [18:10] ikonia: ok sorry [18:10] abhijit, nothing happened ! /j #hardware [18:10] its just waiting for me to prompt a command [18:10] sacarlson: no need to apologies, he left because he didn't want a solution, just wanted to mouth off [18:10] ibrahim-kasem, you are in xchat right? [18:10] Is there a way to skip ident checking? I don't have a daemon running and irssi always takes like 5 seconds to connect to a server =( [18:10] kisplit: no [18:10] abhijit, yes [18:10] rww: Ok thanks [18:11] ibrahim-kasem, ok try this /j ##hardware [18:11] rww: Do you know what exactly ident is/does? [18:11] abhijit, the same thing !! nothing happened !! it worked fine yesterday ! [18:11] ibrahim-kasem, you need to identify your nick first [18:11] what is grub rescue? [18:12] abhijit, how can i do this please ? [18:12] ibrahim-kasem, /msg nickserv identify [18:12] ibrahim-kasem, DONT put space before '/msg' [18:12] kisplit: theoretically, it identifies which user owns the program that's using a given port, so that on a server with multiple users, you can identify each one by ident (and filter channel access as desired). In reality, idents can be faked trivially on home computers, so it's less used, though shell hosts still use it a lot. [18:12] Knifas: I own a 1000. You have to hold f2 to get into the bios. Sorry, I can't help you further [18:13] abhijit, is it okay now ? [18:13] Knifas: I think it's a mode at boot when grub has a problem and gives you some limited control to try to get out of it [18:13] Hi. I installed from ubuntu Live to my harddisk now if I try to change my X config it gets overwritten everytime I start X [18:13] any one please tell what is this - in the command [18:13] ibrahim-kasem, no [18:13] Knifas: it usualy means your screewed [18:13] mactime -b - > filename [18:13] lampuser: what do you want to know ? [18:14] ibrahim-kasem, you can check yourself by typing /j ##hardware [18:14] abhijit, >nickserv< identify **** i got this only [18:14] maybe a sfotware to repair .avi or .mpg?

[18:15] thx i already knew that [18:15] neyo: IRC nicks aren't case sensitive [18:15] Knifas: bios access is before the grub error [18:15] now it doesnt even let me type [18:15] neyo, copied and pasted it [18:15] Knifas: are you holding f2 as you turn the power on? [18:15] neyo, yes capital [18:15] ikonia: can u please tell what is that - for [18:16] man mactime doesnt say anything about - [18:16] i was [18:16] Knifas: post tends to go rather quickly on these newer machines, you have to be on that the nano-second the power gets turned on [18:16] lampuser: what what is for ?

[18:25] paldives: there isn't one really, if you do a "last" you can see when you logged in and idle [18:25] paldives: `w` will show you console idle time. [18:25] dajhorn: that's not shell idle is it ? [18:26] I thought that was process idle [18:26] has anyone here used UNR 10.04 on a Lenovo ideapad S10e? This is the first time I have had UNR not recognize the touchpad.... any suggestions please? [18:26] :/ oh ok just curious but how does it know when to lock the screen after x amount of time?

[18:27] i'm here [18:27] paldives: there must be some lib that does that key thing or how would my skype know I was idle and indicate it?

I upgraded a server from hardy to lucid, and now some pages that use php want to be downloaded instead of viewed in the browser. Any idea what might have gone wrong and what should I check? [18:28] Gansudo: you can type. but the terminal does not echo what you type [18:28] Gansudo: As all programs do [18:28] Gansudo: "sudo mynick" isn't going to do anything, though. the argument to "sudo" is a command, not your nickname [18:29] India [18:29] ikonia: The utmp/wtmp is used to compute the idle time. CPU idle times for users would be pointlessly large. [18:29] i'm in my bios setup utility, what should i do now? [18:29] dajhorn: interesting [18:29] thanks, i was typing my password wrong :$ [18:29] aeon-ltd: so you recommend backup -> edit as i see fit -> restore backups if i get some update errors some day?

[18:30] can you please help me [18:30] mnbv0987: yes, but put back ups on usb, so you can boot into a live environment and move then back [18:30] aleron: yeah, but it's pretty much useless because you cannot inject. [18:30] dajhorn: I see what you're saying [18:30] aleron, ask in ##windows [18:30] aleron: this is ubuntu, for ubuntu support.. try in ##windows instead [18:30] aeon-ltd: ah good call; thanks.

I am trying to add a user to a group. i type the command "groups" in the terminal and it doesn't like the group but when i type "sudo adduser " it says user already a member of the group. what is wrong then?

[18:56] okey I'll just overwrite grub then, I can replace it later, and use super grub disk for now. [18:56] Aciid: when you select windows from grub it hands over control to the windows boot loader, afaik.. if something has messed with that there's no telling what will happen.. if I were you I would try fixing the boot thingy from the windows install cd's repair options [18:56] I found two programs called metacity and something else [18:56] ruser: should be doable with scripting [18:56] how do i unistall wubi?

So when I create a folder after that, the folder icon will be the one that I have chosen - not the default one.

[19:04] any suggestions as how i can restore my laptop again: i can not even turn it on anymore after trying to install ubuntu 10 onto external HD [19:04] if there a way to update the "refresh" database [19:04] server tech yes.. [19:04] ServerTechPro: ubuntu technical support [19:04] ok [19:04] Hmm, is 10.04 ubuntu unstable [19:05] no [19:05] i guess, it hanged, almost crashed in the morning [19:05] radi there is but it can be complicated.. just dont hurry too much or u do so change so many settings so u have no option but reinstall hehe.. [19:05] pietrubens: i guess you installed grub on external harddisk. it has overwritten your normal boot loader so you need to boot from external harddisk. [19:05] Hey guys, I've installed Evolution 2.30.2 and everything works fine except for the notifications. I can see the plugin in the plugin list, but it doesn't do anything!? Anyone an idea? [19:05] Anyone experienced that console dosen't work.. ? [19:05] it does not even detect the external HD anymore when starting up [19:06] Hi :) [19:06] lelle: i havent tried with cable internet connection yet, maybe it will download the proper ones [19:06] is ubuntu 10.04 unstable? [19:06] or youve tried that ? [19:06] ServerTechPro: you already asked that, right? [19:06] ServerTechPro, no [19:06] lelle, run sudo dhclient wlan0, or whatever your Lan is named [19:06] and i tried a windows 7 restore disk, and even that fails [19:06] vin: Hey [19:06] hey [19:06] pietrubens: did you use a dual boot system? [19:06] ServerTechPro, why do you ask ? [19:06] What is the ideal folder to install applications in ? [19:06] radi maybe, for hardware and wireless drivers go start>system>administration>hardware drivers.. [19:06] so, we do the chitchat or straight to the irc-sex? [19:06] hmm, but many people say its unstable, and it almost crashed today [19:06] ServerTechPro, no. It's the latest stable release with long-term support [19:06] is there a way to "refresh" the users database of ubuntu? [19:06] yes i know [19:06] ok, ill go try that ;P [19:06] then will google mroe [19:06] ;D [19:07] !details | ServerTechPro [19:07] ServerTechPro: Please give us full details.

I can display a running TTY1 program in a terminal? [19:07] i wanted to, so it asked where to install the grub, and like you said, i installed it on the external hd, but now does not even recognize the external hd anymore [19:07] ServerTechPro: this is support rather than discussion channel. If you have issues, be sure to describe details. Try to keep it all in one single line [19:07] blueskaj http://pastebin.com/Ng4ZcNRR [19:07] * ben_m unzips [19:07] ServerTechPro: it's been stable for me for 2 weeks now 24/7, I guess it's dependent on hardware compatiblilty [19:07] i have a problem that sometimes it hangs, i have 10.04 lts ubuntu desktop [19:07] is it possible to do a dist upgrade from a terminaal [19:07] is there a way to restore the normal windows boot? i tried the original restore CD-rom, but did not work [19:07] sinurge yes it is just so u know heh [19:07] pietrubens: did you change the laptop bios to boot from the ext hd ?? [19:07] sinurge: yes, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:08] sinurge: it won't get you from 9.10 to 10.04 though.. it will just update your packages [19:08] i thought so, but now can not even enter bios anymore [19:08] hmm [19:08] sinurge: Are you looking to upgrade to a new release? [19:08] Hi all. I installed Ubuntu Lucid over a windows XP but ubuntu grub did not recognize it and no dual boot [19:08] am getting a peculiar error while doing it form 10.04 to 10.10 [19:08] sinurge: maverick discussion in #ubuntu+1 [19:09] and does ubuntu have any kind of software or utility whill will allow it to control fan speed and thus temp. [19:09] yeah i know oCean jsut not getting a solution to it [19:09] ugur: if you installed ubuntu *over* windows xp then windows xp is gone.. so no dual boot.. or you used wubi? [19:09] ugur: you did a wubi install? [19:09] pietrubens disconnect any usb device, remove battery and powercord, then hold power button 10 sec to reset, then hook up again ? [19:09] sinurge: maverick is Alpha release, so not in this channel [19:09] I have a problem with using a promt instead of graphical. I use ubuntu 10.04. When I press ctrl+alt + either of the F keys It's not possible to read anything [19:09] I installed XP first then ubuntu via live cd [19:10] lelle, that's a wired connection command for ethernet , I thought you were trying to connect by wifi [19:10] i will try that option, oer, after completing copying my HD: i am using a live cd now, and i can see that all my files are intact, so i am making a backup first [19:10] hi again... [19:10] can someone answer mine [19:10] doesn't live cd install wipe the drive? [19:10] I remember that in the previous distros ubuntu identified XP and put a chainloader in grub.cfg [19:10] is there anyway of giving scp a password from the command line? [19:10] pietrubens, good idea [19:10] blueskaj yes but the broadcom 4312s logical name is eth2, cable is eth1 [19:10] that's the only thing that works: the live cd from ubuntu :s [19:11] ServerTechPro: fan control depends on the bios and ubuntu's compatability with it's tools [19:11] live cd does not wipe the drive if you select manual partitioning [19:11] ok [19:11] thx [19:11] ServerTechPro: normally the bios will auto manage the fans if they are varible [19:11] @ugur try running "sudo update-grub" in a terminal [19:11] oer: why hold the power button when there is no battery and energy? what will that do? [19:11] I did but no way [19:12] blueskaj i have checked my router for external connection but it doesnt seem to have my computer in it, only my sisters [19:12] ugur: can you see the xp partition in nautilus? [19:13] w4n: yes I do [19:13] * BluesKaj scratches his head ... lelle my broadcom responds to wlan0 not eth1 or 2 , your ethernet card uses a totally different designation and connection [19:13] I'm sure it's not eth1 === Zilla is now known as Zilla_ [19:14] BluesKaj: it would be if it's a hard wire [19:14] blueskaj but internet forums etc tells me the broadcom in my hp 550 laptop is different and usual broadcom drivers doesnt work.. or else i dont think i would have this problem [19:14] Hi, would it be at all possible to run an entire Ubuntu system through a cluster, or is it just specific individual tasks that can be sent through the cluster? [19:14] almoxarife, exactly but we're talking wifi [19:14] aar: thorugh a cluster ? what do you mean [19:14] ikonia, a cluster of computers [19:15] lelle, can you connect by ethernet ? [19:15] aar: how can you do that [19:15] This is the result of sudo fdisk -l command : http://paste.ubuntu.com/475558/ but no dual boot [19:15] blueskaj yes im using it rought now, and ive tried unplugging the cable.. [19:15] aar: the cluster needs to be running an opeating system, [19:15] ikonia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster [19:15] lelle, laptop ? [19:16] aar: that is processing, not operating system running [19:16] ikonia, yes, but only tasks piped through the cluster in a specific code use all the processing power. [19:16] blueskaj yes, hp 550 [19:16] cheapest of them all [19:16] My desktop keeps getting random periodic deskop slowdowns. It's like the mouse/keyboard is sticking. I have 4GB ram and cant' see anything in top slowing it down. I have a drobo sata drive, seems like it slows when that is being accessed. ANy ideas how I can keep desktop running smooth with no sticking? [19:16] aar: so how would you run an OS on a processing cluster ? [19:16] ikonia, i know. my question is: is it at all possible to run an entire system through a cluster rather than just a process? [19:16] when I write code in gedit, my code stuff does not look in colors - how could I do that in gedit? [19:16] ikonia, that is precisely what i am speculatively asking [19:16] I'm using commercial nvidia driver but not using any accelrated desktop effects [19:16] aar: how can you do that ? it's IO/CPU/RAM would have to be presented as a virtual device, which in that case you may as well just use a vmware cluster [19:17] ugur: what's on sda5? [19:17] lelle, i have an acer elcheapo as well, but broadcom connects fine ...lemme check ,brb. [19:17] aar: they are processing clusters, eg: they run clustered processes on machines that already have an OS [19:17] ciao === geo_ is now known as geo05 [19:17] ikonia, i see. thx, i'll look into it. [19:18] almoxarife: windows xp installation [19:18] pil im not sure but theres plenty other editors that support it... linux is for coders :d [19:18] qualcuno mi aiuterebbe con grub, ho il pc in dual boot con 7 e dopo uno stronzo di aggiornamento di mcafee non mi fa il boot mi torna sempre indietro [19:18] roby wtf [19:18] robu what language is it? [19:18] lelle: could you give me an example please which one is the best or which one you use?

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [19:19] ubottu: wtf | lelle [19:19] lelle: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:19] ikonia, out of curiosity -- if onw can run an entire OS through a vmware cluster, what would be the incentive for anyone to build a process cluster? [19:19] *one [19:19] pil i used google and it says gedit supports syntax colors etc, check the preferences in it.. [19:20] lelle: let me check - thanks [19:20] aar: because there are limitations with running the OS thorugh the virtual machine strcuture, overheads and limitations, where as one machine access to 1000 processors, is better than 1 machine accessing 1 processor built out of 1000 processors [19:20] didnt know ftw backwards wasnt family friendly hehe [19:21] but im sure a family is sitting together infort of a computer watching what were saying in #ubuntu hehE ;D [19:21] question: i added CPU temp monitor to my panel but theres a red X over it. how do i fix?

[19:38] yeah [19:38] rsr: you said you wish you could write software, but then you said no idea how to, so there is no point in talking about it futher then as you don't know how [19:38] what's the issue ?

[19:39] this isn't happening on my system [19:40] I simply said I wish I could help make needed corrections come to exist [19:40] rsr: so the needed corrections are "write software" [19:40] not necessarily hence you not being very smart [19:40] Synthead: Are you expecting it to restart jobs? reload-configuration says that it won't do that. [19:40] tiago: before I uninstall apt_supplicant, how would I re-install it? I have no direct network connection. [19:40] rsr: yes, you need to write software for xorg to support the touchpad multi swipe features [19:41] rsr: so yes you do need to write software to enable the multitouch [19:41] Pici: it also states that they should be started automatically based on inotify changes [19:41] rather, wpa_supplicant [19:41] Pici: I created a .conf that I would like to run now, but I can't reboot [19:41] hey guys im having a problem mounting my mp3 player and hoping that I do not have to format the drive...unfortunately gparted shows that there is currently no filesystem on there but there is music on there..and I tried to reset the permissions to allow any user to mount the drive but am still getting error that root can only mount the drive...

[20:29] im just curious to find errors since i cannot open the super user konsole from the gui. the normal konsole opens fine. but when i click the super user konsole, the icon just bounces but doesnt open [20:29] kop: gdm is an upstart job I believe, not all scripts have "restart" funciton [20:29] idk what problem that could be [20:30] no_u0: are you using ubuntu or kubuntu ? [20:30] kubuntu === strog_ is now known as Guest98557 [20:30] Hi. I've installed Ubuntu on MacBook Pro 7,1 and I read the page on what to do to get things to work, everything works flawlessly except the sound. The sound had been noted to work before until some kernel header updates on the august 5th (according to this user: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9682392&postcount=156). I've got the latest daily build of Ubuntu so I must have the latest kernel headers. I've edited the al [20:30] sa-base configuration file with options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55 and again, no sound occurring as explained. Any help appreciated. [20:30] ikonia, so upstart is still a work in progress :D [20:30] no_u0: jump in to the channel #kubuntu and we'll work it through [20:30] kop: not really [20:31] Noob question: Do i have to install 508MB of files on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS Lucid just to get Git running? Here's what the message says: "Need to get 508MB of archives. After this operation, 925MB of additional disk space will be used." [20:31] erUSUL, the installer ends on jnlp, instead of jar. [20:31] biodegabriel: if that is what it says [20:31] IdleOne, my current disk usage is like 1/10th that. Kinda shocking... [20:32] I guess my web host gave me a really barebones installation of Ubuntu? [20:32] ikonia, I was just doing some scripting for cron and found inconsistencies [20:32] biodegabriel: more basic git is possible...checking [20:32] hello people i have a zotac ion board with an onboard ion graphic chip on it [20:32] Somelauw: download this http://argouml-downloads.tigris.org/nonav/argouml-0.30.2/ArgoUML-0.30.2.tar.gz <<<< link in http://argouml.tigris.org/ see the method 1 for installing ( not using webstart ) [20:32] thx thune3 [20:32] kop: in what way inconsistencies ? [20:33] Trying to build 32-bit on amd64 sys, Found a repo with 32-bit libs I need, any way to add it and force arch to be i386, not amd64? [20:33] and wanted to know what nvidia-* package i have to install in order to get a resolution higher than 640x480 [20:33] So I'm not in dependency hell? [20:33] phosphoricx: you do that at the build time [20:34] heya [20:34] any custom repository gurus in here? [20:34] p6209: just ask the question [20:34] I continuously get "gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. [20:34] ikonia, I meant force the repo to install the i386 lib pkgs, not amd64z [20:34] " when trying to add Release.gpg [20:34] ikonia: just trying to see if it's worth asking [20:34] any idea why my oracle-xe start script stopped working with latest update? [20:34] I've been googling high and low on this [20:35] some want service , some require /init.d/ ~ some not all require to ignore the nag and others ctrl+C .. not insurmountable but tedious when you want to automate 30+ start stop or restarts [20:35] but basically i'm trying to set up my own apt repo for my custom packages [20:35] does anyone know how to connect to a VPN via console? [20:35] biodegabriel: i'm not sure what it is trying to pull in, i have git-core and gitk packages installed for a minimal git installation, then you can load other parts as needed. What package are you trying to install that asks for 508MB? [20:35] phosphoricx: you really don't want to do that, as the package will have the libraries laid out in the 32bit location which will cause issues on your 64bit system [20:35] Since I kept getting the unauthenticated package warning in apt-get, i went ahead and signed my Release file [20:35] kop: I think that's down to application behaviour more than upstart issues [20:35] when I try sudo vpnc-connect it keeps asking me for the address even it's already setup. [20:35] thune3 I'm doing "apt-get build-dep git-core" [20:35] Downloaded Release.gpg and it will not take it [20:35] thune3 is that excessive? [20:35] ikonia, using for embedded target which is 32-bit [20:35] ikonia, not for my host [20:35] I tried reprepro as well [20:36] anyone know what the new method of linux startup that fedora and ubuntu uses is called? [20:36] phosphoricx: then install it from your target [20:36] biodegabriel: are you trying to compile git? if not then no [20:36] ikonia, well one of the three (had to include issues with HID :) ) [20:36] biodegabriel: you don't need that [20:36] where do you put in startup commands? [20:36] kop: I'm sure you're right and there are few "less" developed upstart scripts [20:36] Somelauw: you just have to decompress the file somewhere in your home. inside there are two *.sh files to start the program [20:36] thune3, i'm not sure whether i'm trying to compile or install git, i just want to use git on my ubuntu 10.4 installation [20:36] for example, for running hdparm at startup [20:37] Also, could it be possible that programs run slower if they are installed in the home folder instead of in the bin folder? [20:37] Somelauw: double clicking on it should work [20:37] cipher42: upstart? [20:37] Somelauw: you can make a launcher icon in the desktop or menus [20:37] hi people, i wanted to know what nvidia package i have to install for my nvidia ion card? [20:37] biodegabriel: sudo apt-get install git-core gitk [20:37] Somelauw: no speed does not get affected by that [20:38] erUsul, don't I have to "chmod +x" it first? (still downloading) [20:38] Somelauw: yes [20:38] hi people, i wanted to know what nvidia package i have to install for my nvidia ion card? [20:38] thune3, now it says i only need 70.1MB of additional space. THANK YOU!! [20:38] strog__: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [20:38] General One Sentence Rant - feel free to ignore ----- 301 UDATES TO A 9.04 BARE INSTALL ? --- EOR: :0 [20:38] i installed ubuntu 10 on external HD via Sony Vaio win7, but now i can not even startup laptop anymore: can not enter bios, grub, he dozs not detect external HD, nothing. tried to clear pci bus but without success [20:39] magicianlord:i installed that but i only get low resolutions [20:39] pietrubens: are you able to boot from CD/DVD [20:39] Somelauw: it works here without problems. using openjdk 64 bits [20:39] erUsul, my archive manager says: "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format" [20:40] kop, get em while you still can.. its EOL on oct [20:40] yes, only works with live dvd from ubuntu, but rescue cd from win7 does not help [20:40] magicianlord:i installed that but i only get low resolutions [20:40] Somelauw: redownload... it got corrupted somehow... [20:40] biodegabriel: be aware that other packages may be needed to install for other git features (e.g. git-gui gitweb git-svn ...) And, you never need build-dep unless you are trying to compile stuff. [20:40] Hi, anyone able to use Netflix streaming from ubuntu (via virtualbox or some other method) without much choppiness? I've uped the virtual ram, video memory... still quite choppy. [20:40] ikonia, thanks for your help [20:40] does anyone know how to connect to a VPN via console? when I try sudo vpnc-connect it keeps asking me for the address even it's already setup. [20:41] baumer: have you fiddled with the cpu powersaving [20:41] pietrubens: did you try the correct commands in prompt after booting the windows cd [20:41] thune3, ok thanks. pretty sure i don't need svn or gui. i just didn't want to soil my new installation with 1GB of files. Thanks a bunch! [20:41] magicianlord:i installed that but i only get low resolutions [20:41] mun__: install the cisco vpn from synaptic [20:41] that's what i use [20:41] strog__: then you run, sudo nvidia-xconfig, and log out and log back in [20:41] pietrubens, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ may not be a cure all but is a good tool to have [20:42] i tried two: bootrec/rebuildbcd and /fixboot, none of them worked [20:42] magicianlord: i did that already [20:42] you will then be happy [20:42] wut [20:42] that's impossible [20:42] Does Ubuntu time sync to a time server or something? [20:42] Lcawte: yes [20:42] pietrubens: try "bootrec /fixmbr" and "bootrec /fixboot" [20:42] Lcawte: yes [20:43] where do I submit a report that the UK one is like like 20 minutes fast? [20:43] pietrubens: sorry i forgot to ask windows vista/7 ? [20:43] strog__: did you blacklist nouveau [20:43] magicianlord: ? what is that? [20:43] erUSUL: would that not require running ntpd? [20:44] win7 64 bit, original [20:44] pietrubens: then try these commands [20:44] baumer, my virtualbox was pretty choppy too. I do a bunch of searching and there doesn't seem to be a good way since moonlight doesn't support DRM. [20:44] duffydack, 9.10 kills some of my "eclectic" (polite way of saying I'm too cheap to upgrade legacy HDware) 10.04 is an abortafact (personal opinion) and 9.04 is the last stable release that works on everything here [20:45] hi, how long does it take, usually to delete a usb storage with dd? 400 GB. I started 24 hours ago... [20:45] that can't be right? [20:45] chrismeo, a long time [20:45] Guess I'll have to go the road of Dual Booting, didn't want to do that [20:45] kop, i opend site, but don't understand it: it seems not to open well in firefox [20:46] yeah long, but iI mean, a couple of hours or days? [20:46] hi [20:46] oCean_: is not a ntpdate command enough ? [20:46] pietrubens, google super grub boot disc [20:46] erUSUL: yes, to sync once I think [20:46] erUsul, I managed to download it without corrupting it. I launched argouml.sh and it ran. [20:46] chemical-death, i will enter them in a sec [20:46] erUSUL, what is argouml2.sh for? [20:47] so I have two machines doing some serial faxing with hylafax [20:47] oCean_: well i dunno how is implemented; the gui says it is in sync. [20:47] chrismeo, why not partition manager and just format the bastich ? [20:47] one works one doesn't [20:47] where do I submit a report that the UK Ubuntu timeserver is like 20 minutes fast? [20:47] and I can't figure out what the differences are [20:47] Somelauw: may be an alternate shell script for other unix systems [20:47] join #buildbot [20:47] pietrubens: after the reboot maybe you have to use the repair option of windows 7 again. that could happen i don't know [20:47] i want to delete really good [20:47] if I put a configuration for config.ttyS0 in /var/spool/hylafax/etc, nothing shows up on one machine, but it does on the other [20:48] doesn't* [20:48] but 24 hours? should I stop it know? Did I probably do sth wrong? [20:48] chrismeo: "electromagnet" [20:48] erUsul, thanks [20:48] chelical, what will this do: just reset the boot or do things with the whole disk? [20:49] pietrubens: these command both repairs your mbr [20:49] ok, and is there a sequence? one be4 other, or is that of no matter? [20:49] chrismeo, there is no such thing as data that can not be erased with the proper application of the correct amount of high explosives [20:49] pietrubens, repair win7 mbr? bootsect /nt60 c:\ should work [20:50] pietrubens, or bootsect /nt60 c:\ /all (instead of all could be mbr or sys also, depends on needs) [20:50] Hey, can anyone help me patch Warcraft 3? i have the patch downloaded but i cant apply it :/ When i try to run the patch(.exe) with wine it says that it cant find the install directory.. Any help would be appreciated ^^ [20:51] I just need to know, if ist possible that dd takes more than 24 hours??? [20:51] chrismeo: all depends on the size of your drive [20:51] 400 GB [20:51] chrismeo: like 4-6 hours [20:51] but what did i do wromh=g then? [20:51] pietrubens: after that your windows bootloader is the first. if you want to boot your Ubuntu again you need to install Grub again or you have to use EasyBCD to write your Ubuntu in the Windows bootloader [20:52] i unmounted it [20:52] chrismeo: depends of the block size too [20:52] duffydack, what do you mean depends on needs my needs are to be able to boot my win 7 on my C drive again, so better to take c:\ or /all? [20:52] chrismeo, did you specify a bs= ? [20:52] chrismeo: 250g for me takes about 5 hours...so then maybe more like 10 hours [20:52] bs=? [20:52] i used the default blocksize [20:52] bs= "block size" [20:52] pietrubens, basic bootsect /nt60 c:\ should work.. if not use mbr [20:52] ihhh [20:52] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 that's what i did [20:52] default block size is 1 byte [20:53] chrismeo: using a bs= option can speed up dd a WHOLE lot. ive heard that some versions of dd are defaulting to 1024 or some other larger # - but not tested. - When in doubt always specifiy a blocksize [20:53] chrismeo: yup, that will erase the drive. I typically use dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sd* bs=1m [20:53] do you know any utility to backup sms's from Ericsson mobile phones? [20:53] orflon, wammu/gammu [20:54] duffydack, thank you. [20:54] Dr_Willis: for sure. [20:54] so would you just wait some more hours or would you start again with another blocksize? [20:54] chrismeo, I`d start again.. [20:54] chrismeo, but im like that :) [20:54] chrismeo: chrismeo [20:54] chrismeo: it's really up to you. if you do start over, try bs=5m or more. [20:55] chrismeo: see the progress [20:55] chrismeo: http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2008/06/show-progress-during-dd-copy.html [20:55] chrismeo: if you really want to have some fun, try bs=1G or however much ram u have in your system =) [20:55] chrismeo: why are you doing this zeroing anyway? [20:55] dod format? [20:56] wmcinnis: could be. or he just didn't know. [20:56] wmcinnis: could be. or he just didn't know about /dev/null [20:56] hi [20:56] hiku, probably some times though when we do stuff for the Mil we have to write zeros to every sector of the drive. [20:57] hi [20:57] can someone put his ubuntu sudoers file on nopaste for me? [20:57] I am selling it... [20:57] Hey everyone, N00B Question: Where's the trash folder in Ubuntu? [20:57] wmcinnis: yea I can understand that, the mil needs to be very private. =) [20:57] hi installing mysql-server constantly hangs, even after I just removed /var/lib/mysql === rootcop is now known as trineox [20:57] 10.4 LTS I should add [20:57] chrismeo, you just want to erase it you could devnull to it [20:57] ok duffy and chemical, one of your commands worked (i used all three of them be4 rebooting) and now it is ok... [20:57] !trash [20:57] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [20:57] ...however, i can not enter bios anymore [20:57] rhalff, did you try to install via apt. [20:57] ubottu THX [20:58] wmcinnis: yah I'm installing through apt, does that mean I should try aptitude ? :) [20:58] guys thanks for the help [20:58] chrismeo: anytime, good luck! [20:58] ubottu I don't have that folder. I'm not using a GUI. I'm in the Terminal. [20:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:58] pietrubens: did you try all known keys like F2 or del [20:58] chrismeo: you're welcome [20:58] can someone put his ubuntu sudoers file on nopaste for me? i want to restore the original sudoers file on my system [20:58] rhalff, no try command line sudo apt-get install mysql-server [20:59] bubbles| I can do it. just a sec [20:59] rhalff, i just did it and it worked fine for me [20:59] wmcinnis: that's the command I'm running [20:59] thanks biodegabriel [20:59] rhalff, what is the last line you see. [20:59] i tried some keys: but be4 it showed the options, which keys to press, now it shows nothing anymore [21:00] wmcinnis: ah, my my.cnf is wrong.. shoudl have checked the syslog earlier :) unkown option --skip-bdb [21:00] Flash player plug in for Firefox does not work after update were applied. Already reinstalled it, still does not work. Ideas? [21:00] pietrubens: shutdown the computer wait 20 sec and start it again. maybe you will see the options again [21:00] ok [21:00] rhalff, well there ya go that was my next thing to check was to move the my.conf to my.conf.old [21:00] hello there [21:00] bubbles| http://pastie.org/1082445 [21:00] thx [21:00] This is for 10.4 LTS [21:01] Can play most any video outside of the browser. [21:01] terrylm: does it wokr in other browser¿ [21:01] work* [21:01] i have a dual screen setup on my laptop/external screen. is there any way i can maximise a window just to one screen? rather than both of them? [21:01] terrylm, from command line run sudo updatedb && locate libflash [21:01] i want to watch DVDs on just the big screen, not my main screen [21:01] terrylm, pastebin that plz [21:01] while i wait the 20secs or so, how can i avoid this problem when installing ubuntu to external HD? [21:01] I'll check, stand by... [21:01] terrylm: are you on karmic or lucid? [21:02] uatec: what video chipset? Using nvidia and the twinview feature it Does maxamize to one monitor here. [21:02] thune3: maverick [21:02] can I just remove "/var/cache/debconf/config.dat" ? I killed apt-get before [21:02] nvidia [21:02] pietrubens: when you install ubuntu you see the last window with all options you have choose [21:02] rhalff, i would not try killall -09 apt-get [21:02] What's karmic? lucid?, Ubuntu 9.04 [21:02] i'm using twinview, but pressing maximise puts vlc accross both screens [21:02] wmcinnis: well I did :) [21:02] yes, to choose where to install the grub, correct? [21:03] pietrubens: yes [21:03] so, i chose the external hd [21:03] pietrubens: no [21:03] rhalff, do psaux | grep apt [21:03] uatec: install the proepr nvidia drivers. run nvidia-settings, enable twinview, save the xorg.conf, restart the X server. and it 'should' work that way. [21:03] Does anyone know how to check what gnutls version is installed? [21:03] why? [21:03] wmcinnis: yeah I did lsof config.dat and killed frontend also, whatever that is [21:03] i have installedthe proper nvidia drivers [21:03] uatec: just enabling twinview and using 'apply' may NOT work properly in this case. because some of the apps still see the wront size of the desktop [21:03] pietrubens: choose a internal hdd [21:03] rhalff, i would not remove it i would move it [21:03] ahh, okay [21:04] dries_: with apt, apt-cache policy [21:04] and i restarted my other laptop: no signs of the bios options [21:04] wmcinnis: ok it's installed now === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [21:04] hinhinjkyh12 [21:04] gargh [21:04] pietrubens: did you get a logo screen?

[21:06] yes [21:06] neeraj: yes. it can change.. if you resize parittions or somthing.. or you can change it via the tune2fs command. but normally they dont just 'change' randomly [21:06] tried esc, F12, shift+F5 [21:06] pietrubens: did you try DEL [21:06] wmcinnis, should that take a long time to run? it still has not returned to a prompt. [21:07] don't remember, will do again now [21:07] terrylm, it can take a little bit [21:07] terrylm, its making a index of all the files on your pc [21:07] OK, now I remember what updatedb does. [21:08] thanks [21:08] terrylm, np [21:08] OK, it returned several files, what should I be looking for? [21:09] pastebin the output for me [21:09] ok, del did this: entered a startup screen sayng that it detected os and to press F8 for more options, i tried to press, but nothing happened, only option possible is to start win7 [21:09] OK, one sec..

What are the possible reasons for getting this error message on boot after a *fresh install* ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid [21:11] you can specify the timeperiod and so forth? [21:11] terrylm, do you have 2 installs of ubuntu or are you installing from a livecd [21:12] ok, tried again same thing with esc now: same screen: only windowsoptions, but F8 works now, but no option to set bootorder, only different ways to start win7 (safe, 640*480 mode,...)

[21:15] remedial, obviously [21:15] i know, i have to be pretty fast to press the right key, had to restart a dozen times to find out :s [21:15] terrylm, try this from command line sudo apt-get install flashplug-nonfree [21:15] pietrubens: which model of notebook? [21:15] sony vaio [21:16] !softvol [21:16] OK [21:16] pietrubens: some more details please [21:16] anybody set up alsa softvol in Lucid?

[21:17] sorry, 4 gig mem, 64bits win7, 320 HD (not divided), intel i3, ati vid card [21:18] anything specific you're after? [21:18] pietrubens: sorry i meant the model number [21:18] I go nuts! [21:18] And nobody can help me [21:18] chrismeo, with? [21:18] ssh works on my ubuntu machine, but sftp does not, where/how can i change that? [21:18] wmcinnis, it says it is already at the newest version. [21:18] chrismeo, what is the issue you are having? [21:19] I did reinstall it once already. [21:19] my computer says he has copied 105 GB [21:19] terrylm, try to close your browser and reopen it [21:19] pietrubens: the key to enter the bios of sony vaio is F2 i guess. Did you try this? [21:19] in 24 hours! [21:19] so i have still 48 to go [21:19] good god [21:19] This is a amd 64bit laptop if that makes a difference. [21:19] terrylm, try youtube when you restart it [21:19] chrismeo, did you do an update or a dist upgrade? [21:19] vaio vpce-series (but don't have the exact number at hand) [21:19] i'm thinking of virtualizing a server but i'm confused about this with regards to ubuntu. My understanding is that Xen should be installed first, then other VMs on top of that. However, i've seen some Ubuntu documentation recommending a sudo aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server which implies Ubuntu is installed first. [21:19] when i do dpigs 10 i get '104400 linux-image-2.6.35-6-generic' and '78288 linux-headers-2.6.35-6'. what are these and can i purge them safely? [21:19] i'll try F2 again [21:19] OK [21:20] pietrubens: if it doesn't work try fn+f2 . i know there is a option "media keys first" on Dell be there is the same on sony vaio [21:20] ssh works on my ubuntu machine, but sftp does not, where/how can i change that? [21:21] wmcinnis, there is just a black box were the video should be... [21:21] sudo aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server seems to contradict having a Xen hypervisor [21:21] bubbles|, check the sshd_conf in /etc/ssh [21:21] terrylm: some have fixed flash after upgrade to firefox 3.6.8 by disabling firefox addon "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" or uninstalling ubufox. [21:21] unless the package does some crazy magick [21:21] terrylm, no error or anything [21:21] pietrubens: *maybe there is the same on Sony Vaio [21:21] chemical, it came all down to finding the right key, which i obviously missed... thanks a bunch for helping a really embarrased guy out ;) [21:22] wmcinnis what do i look for? [21:22] chrismeo: increasing the block size will increase speed - so stopping dd and restarting it with bs=100m would be much quicker than waiting [21:22] never mind [21:22] no errors, just black. [21:22] pietrubens: :) [21:23] i'm in the bios, so i am thinking now changing the bootorder to usb first, will it be necessary to install grub still on internal HD? [21:23] chrismeo1: do you have connection issues as well? [21:23] Thank thune3. [21:23] Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server <-- that's the only sftp-related line i can find in there [21:23] terrylm: worked? [21:23] not yet tried it... [21:25] ups I am? I'm doing noithing [21:25] really [21:25] what have I to do to communicate with someone in a certain sever or chanel not extists? [21:25] ssh works on my ubuntu machine, but sftp does not, where/how can i change that? [21:25] pietrubens: it's easier to write grub to the first disk. (sda) or another internal hdd if you want to use the windows bootloader [21:25] Hrm... Plazma said that I could come here and purchase F-117 with Platinum Ounces, or possibly high poewr microwave bomb with crates of baby seal fur coats. Is this true? jayne also mentioned it but I can't prove that, as they're on a business trip to Enid, OK... [21:26] meera: in freenode servers are linked afaik [21:26] Sorry to interrupt, salaam my good friends... But do you know where I can purchase, using Camel cash, M6 arming wrench or pellet rifle? I am an FBI investigator, and I have records showing that marienz was in talks with kloeri to aquire these items...

[21:26] has alsa.conf .asoundrc been replaced by something else in Lucid? [21:26] how do i figure out what my cd drive is called? [21:27] terrylm, have you tried to remove it and reinstall it. [21:27] but that's the thing: i only want to see ubuntu when i connect external hd, when not connected i would like to go to windows with a minimum of fuzz [21:27] removing it now, one sec. [21:27] pietrubens: ok then should usb boot first work [21:27] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 thats what I did. But when I do : pgrep -l '^dd$' then I get two lines, 605 dd and 3241 dd. But there should be just one line, right?

This applies to both a local terminal window, as well as via a SSH session. I'm trying to use a chroot to reinstall GRUB2 on a disk that had some problems. [21:28] jonnyBE, sudo hdparm -I /dev/sr0 [21:28] ammen [21:28] jonnyBE, is that the card you were thinking of. [21:29] pietrubens: then boot from liveCD and reinstall grub where you want [21:29] That was it, thanks to everyone for your help!-) [21:29] not sure; i'm trying to install SC2 and i'm having trouble getting the instructions to work [21:30] hi all. anyone familiar with display/resolution problems with sis graphics card?

[21:32] one last question, chemical, if i may: in windows, the system recognizes that there's an external HD connected(the one with ubuntu10 installed), but it does not show in my computer, is that weird or not? [21:32] pietrubens: did you activate legency support for usb in bios? [21:33] which is the spanish ubuntu server?? [21:33] pietrubens, probably because it is ext4 and windows wont recognize that [21:33] thanks coz === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [21:33] thune3, I just removed the package ubufox.

I've got to go, see you all another time. === aperson is now known as DonSpice [21:35] pietrubens: i guess in bios there is a legency support for usb. after activating this option usb devices are readable before a OS starts [21:35] alright guntbert [21:35] How would I make pcmanfm draw the desktop instead of Nautilus?

If not, try typing "alsamixer" in the command line to bring up the alsa mixer utility [21:57] racerd, firts thing...if you havent tried...open a terminal type alsamixer..... make sure nothing is mutted with "mm" or sliders are not turned down....if "mm" hit keyboard "m" to unmute [21:57] NullProphecy: try apt-get -f install [21:57] tanath, did you try reinstalling? [21:57] guest593242, tried past 3 kernels. no luck [21:57] racerd, sorry that is alsamixer [21:57] chemical-death: http://pastebin.com/WTJ9S4XJ [21:57] NullProphecy: without any packages [21:57] Know how you can winkey+left or winkey+right in windows... is there ANY way to get that functionality inside of gnome. I have tried KDE, gnome is where it's at. [21:57] okay, the dead keys in the chroot environment is *not* related to the keymap. booted the live CD with a US keymap instead of the Norwegian keymap, and the d and f keys are *still* dead! so freaking frustrating! [21:57] Is there a way to fix the centering of the terminal on a screen like when you auto adjust on a regular monitor ? i'm on cli ubuntu [21:57] chemical-death: I'll give it a go [21:57] tanath, is it possible that your hard-drive is now corrupt? [21:57] guest593242, reinstalling what? the whole OS? it's a pretty new reinstall as it is. dont wanna go through all that again [21:58] i'll be damned [21:58] thanks guys [21:58] How can I check what my locale is? [21:58] they were turned all of the way down lol [21:58] guest593242, drive seems ok [21:58] racerd, cool the easy approach worked :) [21:58] tanath, what type of processor do you have? [21:58] yeah [21:58] chemical-death: sudo apt-get -f install returns much the same as dist-upgrade [21:58] i thought i had checked that before [21:59] hello ? [21:59] does anyoen have a clue as of why my d and f keys stop working after I start up a chroot? [21:59] guest593242, pentium4.. [21:59] i do have something else i would like to get working [21:59] racerd, that would be the first step when troubleshooting sound [21:59] tanath, did you install i386 or amd64? [21:59] tolecnal: this is scary [21:59] racerd, just say what the issue is [21:59] tolecnal: can you elaborate ? [21:59] anyone know how to change the standard terminal colors...or all colors in Tilda? [21:59] guest593242, i386. was working fine until a recent update and reboot [22:00] I was wondering if anyone can help me with a bit of a hard drive problem on my laptop [22:00] tanath, what type of update was it? [22:00] i threw a vista drive into my laptop as a secondary drive. I do not know how to configure grub to recognize it as a boot option [22:00] NullProphecy: look at /var/log/apt/ for errors maybe there we will see more things [22:00] guest593242, doing a file system check with gparted now [22:00] okay [22:00] guest593242, don't remember. kernel and some other stuff. but i tried previous few kernels with same result [22:01] racerd, best place to start is to go to the #grub channel...and I believe they still have a link for installing or configuring grub2 [22:01] dcordes: I start up a chroot using the live cd to fix my grub2 installation. after I mount the drive itself and /dev and /proc and enter the chroot, all keys *apart* from d and f work. and since it's /etc/default/* I want to access, that makes that sorta hard :) [22:01] racerd, in their topic [22:01] racerd [22:01] NullProphecy: apache2 is installed right? [22:01] sweet [22:01] guest593242, file system checks out [22:01] thanks i will check there [22:01] dcordes: and even doing a copy and paste from another window removes the d's and f's === _ng is now known as _NG [22:02] chemical-death: dosn't look like it - the LAMP package was supposed to do that [22:02] racerd, i would recommend putting in a windows vista recovery disk, and going to recovery options, and then to the command prompt [22:02] dcordes: the same applies if I try to enable the ssh server and issue d's and f's from there [22:02] racerd, at the very least you can ask in the #grub channel to see if they have suggestions for this [22:02] if i purge the original pkg, clean out any traces of the configs in /etc and /etc/init.d and /var/www, will that allow me to start from scratch? [22:03] ok, I have a i386 deb, that is nothing more than an archive of /etc/files /usr/files, is there a way to convert this to a 64bit deb? it should run on both, it is built on python [22:03] tanath, what version is it? [22:03] *with python [22:03] guest593242, which? [22:03] :) [22:03] your OS [22:03] guest593242, 10.04.1 === Archdave is now known as Archdave|Zzz [22:03] guest593242, i tend to keep it up to date [22:04] pwnedulongtime: gnome-terminal has profiles and profile-preferences in the edit menu. See the colors tab. [22:04] anyone know of an updated tutorial for having ubuntu 10.04 as dom0? [22:04] thune3, yeah I need to change the colors for Tilda though...and I think the colros tilda uses are the standard terminal ones [22:05] gah, what the hell? suddenly every time i type a char it makes a noise like i'm trying to backspace too far or something. can't make it stop [22:05] NullProphecy: try "apt get remove --purge lamp-server" close the extra backports in repository then "apt-get clean" and try it again. there was the circumflex sign in your command..leave it... [22:05] chemical-death: I'll try that [22:05] only doing it in xchat though [22:05] dcordes: even when I jump from X windows back to a normal console and try the d and f keys, they are *still* equally dead [22:05] my wubi install is hosed, but I can boot windows and systemrescuecd. How do I find the /home directory so I can back it up? [22:05] chemical-death: gah, package management is great till it all goes wrong :p [22:06] tolecnal: I have no idea really. sorry [22:06] NullProphecy: maybe you try to install it with aptitude [22:06] got it. insert mode somehow [22:06] i just checked out #grub [22:06] n8 [22:06] no one is there [22:06] chemical-death: I'll do the purge, disable the additional repos and try it again via synaptic [22:06] tanath, just reinstall 10.04, and don't update it [22:07] guest593242, don't want to risk losing stuff [22:07] guest593242, don't have room for backups anymore [22:07] tanath, just upload it online [22:07] NullProphecy: i guess via terminal it work like in synaptic [22:07] racerd: did you try 'sudo update-grub2' to rebuild the menu file [22:07] guest593242, and i prefer up-to-date software, for a number of reasons. including security [22:07] guest593242, not possible [22:08] guest593242, i don't have that much bandwidth :P [22:08] chemical-death: I thought synaptic was pretty much a gnome-ified version of aptitude? [22:08] How do I install some sort of visual gui for the ubuntu server edition if i feel i might need to use gnome or the like ? [22:08] tanath, keep a list of all the updates that are coming up, and then see what could corrupt your OS [22:08] once you reinstall [22:09] Hi. Anyone here experience problems with 10.4 on a laptop, when the laptop returns from hibernation or such? [22:09] NullProphecy: that'S just a graphical way i guess [22:09] ximal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [22:09] guest593242, i'm not sure it is corrupted. virtual terminals have not worked for a while actually, and if x isn't working for some reason (video driver maybe) then it'd go to a corrupt VT [22:09] okay [22:09] argh! this is soo frustrating.. I can't get all the keys to work in the chroot to fix my grub installation, and I can't boot into safe mode as the grub menu never shows up, so the system boots a kernal that gets a kernel ooops, and there's *nothing* I can do to fix it... *sigh* [22:10] rww ... could you recommend a text browser to install so i can go to that page sir ? [22:10] ximal: w3m, which should be installed by default [22:10] i am wanting to configure grub so i can boot my vista drive [22:10] guest593242, that's a lot of work. i just wish they'd test these updates better :P [22:10] guntbert you are the best [22:10] chemical-death: according to apt-get, the lamp-server package dosn't exist (when i do remove --purge lamp-server [22:10] now it is very fast [22:10] happy [22:10] awesome ... does firefox have a cli browser ? [22:10] just a curious thought [22:10] tolecnal: hold down shift at boot to get the grub menu to show up [22:10] ximal: don't think so [22:11] rww: tried that, nothing [22:11] ahh shucks.. and thank you for coming to my sortof aid [22:11] ximal, firefox is a gui app... no cli. if you want cli browser, use elinks [22:11] you rlly are a help .. thanks m8 [22:11] chrismeo1: to be honest - at least 3 people told you the same before I did --- nice that you are happay now :-) [22:11] Nobody running ubuntu 10.4 on a laptop? [22:12] i am [22:12] NullProphecy: try this http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies [22:12] then they are also cool [22:12] isn't it 10.04 though? [22:12] yes [22:12] sithun: I am, but not the same problem [22:12] @racerd: are you having any problems with returning from hibernation? [22:12] sithun, lots of people I guess [22:12] oh sorry. i missed a 0. [22:12] oh, not really [22:13] i have a few little quirks [22:13] i have it also [22:13] like my bluetooth mouse and keyboard take a little messing to get working [22:13] sithun, do you have swap size = your ram size? [22:13] chemical-death: I would have done something similar to this in the first place, but the nice shiny metapackage caught my eye. The silly thing is I've set this up 1000 times before on windows, so I should have just stuck to configuring it myself :p [22:13] well, it seems that half of the time, my laptop locks up when returning from longer periods of rest and/or hibernation. [22:13] my wubi install is hosed, but I can boot windows and systemrescuecd. How do I find the /home directory so I can back it up? [22:13] rww: right after POST is done, the screen goes black, two to three seconds pass and the caps lock and break leds on the keyboard starts flashing (which is an indication that the kernel fails miserably) [22:14] I'm running 10.04 from the cd, and got this error "failed to run /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk as user root" I also cannot access my internal hard drive, and get this error "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1:" [22:14] :q [22:14] rww: pressing the shift keys makes *no* difference [22:14] sithun: i have the same problem. I have given up on hibernate and just shutit down [22:14] great to know im not alone with this problem. :) [22:14] anyone know what might cause virtual terminal to be corrupt and how to fix it? [22:15] so does anyone know how i can configure grub so i can load my secondary vista drive? [22:15] sithun: acpi support for laptops has always been a bit hit and miss [22:15] sithun, how much ram have you got and how big is your swap partition. [22:15] NullProphecy:years before my linux teacher told me windows is a bicycle and linux a truck. lol [22:15] if i could fix that i may be able to troubleshoot further [22:15] duffydack, im not sure how to check that. [22:15] racerd: couldn't you just use the bios to load it? [22:15] ? [22:15] oh, the ram is 4 gb. [22:15] anyone here could get the realtek 8187b wireless adapter working in ubuntu 10.4? [22:15] sithun, free -m [22:15] you go into bios and swap drives to boot lol? [22:16] i suspect there's an unfixed bug, because virtual terminal stayed corrupt even after reinstall [22:16] i think i partitioned it to have a 4 gb swap... [22:16] sithun, *think* [22:16] :) [22:16] checking it up. [22:16] chemical-death: I'd say its more that linux is like a fighter jet. When it works, its awe-inspiring. When it goes wrong it crashes and burns. [22:17] i was right. 4 gb swap. [22:17] lepra: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466992 [22:17] why is that a problem? [22:17] any python guru's in the house? how can I tell what python modules are avialable? is wx.richtext no installed on Ubuntu? [22:17] *not [22:18] racerd: oh soz context fail, i thought you meant external hdd, and yeah you can but i don't know how to do it in grub2 sorry [22:18] ah well, seems like I'm left with no other option than to boot into a live cd, transfer the data from the disk over to another disk and reinstall. argh! so much to set up from scratch [22:18] i can't find the right commands to configure the config file [22:19] sithun, no just checking. have you googled your make/model laptop + ubuntu to find solutions? someone on ubuntuforums.org will have asked a similar question no doubt. [22:19] If I buy a macbook pro will I be able to install and run Ubuntu without any issues? and can I have both ubuntu and os x installed at thre same time? [22:19] racerd: with update-grub2 it should be found automatically i guess [22:20] duffydack, no, i thought i would check here first if it was a common issue and not brand/model-specific. [22:20] sithun, I only have 1gb swap and I can hibernate :) [22:20] c3l: I actually think you can use bootcamp [22:21] rww : that link tells me there is not a page there === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:21] NullProphecy: got u any luck? [22:21] sithun, its a bit wacky but does it, but I dont want it it, which is why I never set more swap :) I hit it by accident.

[22:23] Does anyone know if it's possible to hook up an iphone to itunes in a virtualbox? [22:23] daffyduck: thats what got me into this mess in the first place :p [22:23] ah forgot sorry, in general though for 10.04 LTS does it use lvm1 for installer ? [22:23] I`ll never understand this need for a 'real' install.. its only a metapackage to save you some finger work ... [22:24] ximal: dunno why, there is. The short summary of the page is that if you want a full GNOME desktop, install ubuntu-desktop, but lighter options like the `xorg` + `openbox` packages are also a good idea [22:24] lepra: try to look for at the factory page [22:24] NullProphecy, really? been using it for 3 releases at least.. [22:24] ximal: (ubuntu-desktop being a package) [22:24] chemical-death | thanks, that looks like it did! thank you for the help. thought i had to edit the file and then run update-grub2. deleted my entry into the gub config file and then ran the updater, working fine now [22:24] racerd: your welcome [22:25] ok ..

I'm a bit new to using ubuntu, and I tried to install 10.04 alongside XP, and now it won't boot to windows. I removed ubuntu and changed the mbr to std, and windows still won't load [22:35] shane2peru, np [22:35] where can I go to get wxpython help? [22:35] shane2peru: I read - nice to learn something new :-) [22:36] shane2peru, google wxpython site? [22:36] guntbert, yes, I wish I could remember that stuff, often I don't use it enough though [22:36] hey, how can i increase the number of loop devices on lucid lynx? [22:36] shane2peru, they might even have an irc channel :P [22:36] ok, so i think i figured out another peice of the pussle. My touchpad and keyboard stops working on resume from suspend. [22:36] tanath, right, I will check that out, thanks again. [22:36] effectively rendering it impossible to enter password to log in again. [22:37] tanath, hmm, wxpython is the irc room, go figure. :) [22:38] Ubuntuuuuu [22:38] shane2peru, thought it might be. didn't want to assume [22:38] tanath, I tried #python earlier to no avail.

[22:40] so I'll admit I'm not a frequent Ubuntu user... so if this is a noob question, no surprises... but where are the openssl header files? [22:40] I went and did a "apt-get install openssl-devel" and it failed. [22:40] Haha just testing an irc on the droid x. Good to know that i got a response. [22:40] hey, how can i increase the number of loop devices on lucid lynx? [22:41] I need to rebuild hostapd because the repo has the ancient 0.6.9 version (0.7.2 has been out for months). [22:41] shane2peru, what exactly is the issue? [22:41] tanath, I ran a python app and it complains saying, no richtext module [22:42] shane2peru, google that?

[22:43] bnjmn: there are several ways, this is one http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8891639&postcount=8 [22:44] tanath, I re-googled, seems as though linux.google.com isn't what it used to be. [22:44] shane2peru, can be helpful, but usually better to start with vanilla google [22:45] shane2peru, or your own custom search [22:45] ok, fetching... is the kernel source packaged? [22:46] bnjmn: the other way is to create a new .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d with line "options loop max_loop=64" or whatever number. [22:46] anyone down on a pandora one co-op buy ?

I have a HP G60 with an Nvidia 8200M graphics chipset. When i plut the hdmi cable into my tv the nvidia settings sees the tv and i can change settings and such, but the tv always says "no siginal." I've googled around and came across people saying the nvidia 8200 has a hdmi/dvi jumper that you have to move. But since i have the laptop version (the 8200M) i dont know if mine would have that [22:50] my system went to standby like it always does but this time it didnt wake up. i had to hard reboot. now my netwrok is not working. the gnome applet reports networking is disabled and ifconfig shows only lo, no eth0 [22:50] or not. Is it a case of that, or are there some setting/drivers i don't know about that i should to get hdmi working?

[22:53] shane2peru, btw, rich thingy sounds like you might be using code intended for windows... [22:54] tanath, technically yes, they are building the wxpython app on windows and porting it to Linux [22:54] tanath: are you able to boot to black screen and change the terminal? [22:54] shane2peru, you realize there's more than one nvidia card, right? :P === max is now known as Guest89820 [22:54] tanath, yes, but usually just one driver.

First, when first booting up can't get the grub to load, only got a video noise but it reaches to the part where it asked me to try ubuntu using the live cd or install it.

I install Ubuntu 10 and after a while (maybe 4 days)started losing my sound for long periods of time. I changed my sound card and instead of no sound I get intermittent 'warbled' sound (as if the my system were straining or doing too much). I then installed previous version of Ubunti (9.10?) and had same problem. I then installed 9.04 and there's no problem. Is this bec [23:09] ause the sound is more stable on this version? Or could it be something that's being updated? Could it possible be the power management? Like I said I'm totally new to Ubuntu and don't know my way around. [23:09] bekinsa: thanks dude, where can we find the alternate installation? [23:09] I have a Genius Eye 310 webcam and I can't get it to work on my kubuntu 10.04 laptop...

I've googled around and came across people saying the nvidia 8200 has a hdmi/dvi jumper that you have to move. But since i have the laptop version (the 8200M) i dont know if mine would have [23:18] that or not. Is it a case of that, or are there some setting/drivers i don't know about that i should to get hdmi working? === knightstalker is now known as Guest18934 [23:18] wow, a netsplit and there's still 1.4k people here [23:18] ivan_, ?

[23:38] Nubulis_Maximus: you use sudo before any command that you need root permissions to do stuff with [23:38] I'm not willing to sift through that many config files. (There could be hundreds.) [23:38] Somelauw, Is this a fresh installation? [23:38] ohh,,, did not know that [23:38] I am trying to install a .rpm package in Ubuntu but I can't figure it out. I already downloaded alien and installed it, but I can't understand how to use it. [23:38] Hello room. I'm setting up ssh to my desktop but made an error. I ssh'd before I actually set up the keys, Terminal asked if I wanted to proceed with the connection without keys and I stated 'no' being I didn't see a reason to. Then I generated the key pair and now CAN [23:39] ubunt1: bad idea...you should reconsider [23:39] naptastic, no, I have been using it for a while and I never had this problem before. [23:39] Flare183: sudo cp -r ~/directoryname like that?? [23:39] UbuntuNoob: install openssh-server [23:39] on the destkop [23:39] CAN'T ssh the key to the desktop becaues it's telling me it might be a man in the middle attack. [23:39] UbuntuNoob, rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts [23:40] UbuntuNoob, then try again [23:40] Nubulis_Maximus: depends if you want to copy and entire directory/folder do this: sudo cp -Rv [23:40] naptastic: kk [23:40] Flare183: will give it a try. Thx [23:40] Nubulis_Maximus: np :) [23:40] Somelauw, Have you updated packages recently? (check the apt-get log in /var/log) Can you roll them back and see if it fixes it?

It let me in. But for some reason it's not excepting my password. [23:42] And it has more card games also. [23:42] naptastic, Flare183: I understand, but I was looking for something closer to the Windows experience. [23:42] ubunt1: Linux != Winblows [23:42] naptastic, I don't understand how to do that. [23:43] Flare183: O really? [23:43] Flare183: but solitaire==solitaire [23:43] ubunt1, I know what you mean. I wish it would let you re-deal more than 3 times, and I wish there were fireworks or something when you win. [23:43] ubunt1: It's still a good one to use. [23:43] naptastic: My bad... I'm in...

[23:48] ?* [23:48] ubunt1: look into wine...it will solve your problem and isn't that hard to master [23:48] ubunt1: Oh! Sorry. [23:48] I dont miss Windows. I love Ubuntu now that I tried it. [23:49] I dont know what is harder. Deal with installing this things or dealing with some people here that arent helpful at all. [23:49] ubunt1, tried pysolitaire? my mother prefers that one. [23:49] This feels trollish. [23:49] The second. [23:49] ubunt1, Using wine is probably your easiest route for that application, but as others have said, there's loads of games in the software center. [23:49] I will look into it, duffydack. [23:49] ubunt1, or do I mean pysol [23:49] Just try to teach your mother how amazing Ubuntu is really is. [23:49] Its downloading Wine. I am going to ask again... Do I need a Windows partition to run this Wine thing? [23:49] No. [23:50] Thanks. That eHow thing got me confused about that requirement... [23:50] ubunt1: no....yyou don't. Wine creates a C drive in your home folder for use [23:50] You just need mark the .exe files exucable in the opions of the files. [23:50] Flare183: So that's ir? I'm done? [23:50] hello, when I put a CD in my CD drive and go into terminal and type "/media/" I can't see the CD. Only after I double click on the CD in the file browser can I see the CD in the /media/ directory, why is this please? [23:50] ubunt1, no [23:50] or rather "cd /media/" [23:50] But how can I find this .exe for the windows solitaire? [23:51] SimonP86: the CD isn't automatically mounted unless you try to access it [23:51] Dunoo, download.com? [23:51] ubunt1, checkout psyol fan club edition. [23:51] ubunt1: you need an installe, not just an .exe [23:51] duffydack, I had accidentally started and minimized google earth :-/ [23:51] Oh, yeah, right, sorry. [23:51] th0r: so when I access it via file browser it mounts it? how can I mimic this through terminal? [23:51] xangua: no...you can just run an exe file, just like iwndows [23:52] ubunt1, "collection of more than 1000 solitaire card games" [23:52] Flare183: do you know anyone that could help me?? [23:52] SimonP86: you can issue a mount command, 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom' [23:52] kop, riiiiight, of course.. [23:52] This Ubuntu installing thing is just really messy too, duffydack. I got a lot of packages and few .deb ones. And I can only figure those ones out. [23:53] ubunt1, whats messy about going to software centre, typing pysol in the search and getting something to install [23:53] duffydack, now loading universe games 10.5gb in 1473 files [23:53] ubuntu installing thing. is rather clean compared to the mess ive seen windows use.... [23:53] that poor lil box is gonna erp [23:53] (Hey Dr) [23:53] I am not criticizing how Linux handles installing... [23:53] I think its called pysol-ng now or somthing like that.

[23:58] belkinsa: I will do that. Just have to wait for Wine to download. MY connection os crappy.
