[00:00] xp_admin: it runs nice on notebooks I've seen [00:00] xp_admin, on a CF-29 panasonic it's just great [00:00] it's generally operator error [00:00] tinkerpads (most) as well [00:01] some acer are goofy but not insurmountable [00:01] belkinsa: No. I formated the whole HD with Ubuntu. Windows was killing me and I got tired of it. My mother finds Ubuntu beautiful, but she just wants to play her Solitaire. [00:01] OK... Wine is installed. [00:02] ubunt1, I had to resort to VirtualBox and XPSP3 for much the same reason [00:02] there are a million versions of solitaire... [00:02] I`m sure at least 1 would suffice. [00:02] if momma isn't happy no one is happy [00:02] ubunt1: install pysol for her anyway.. theres several 100+ versions of solitare she may like better. [00:02] why would you come to a place for help and insult it > that's a good way to make a warm welcome ? > and get mediate responce in a positive manor [00:02] but, to make mom happy [00:03] sign her up for quakelive as well [00:03] I need someone worse than me. [00:03] hiexpo, ever heard of human ignorance or trolls ? [00:03] yeah, keeping wives and moms happy with UB is critical to keep UB on family boxes :-) [00:03] !ot [00:03] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:03] lol [00:04] kop, i think they know better so i can't blame it on ignorance just disrespect for others [00:04] did anyone get a remote control of haupauge dvb-t ministick working under 10.04? [00:04] Ew. IE is in my Linux. [00:04] OK. [00:04] MomBuntu [00:04] How do I get the solitaire to work now? [00:05] ubunt1: wine /path/to/whatever.exe [00:05] KE1HA, well for me it's keeping M$ out of the house I don't care what they use as long as 'doze is NOT used [00:05] mark the exe ecubable via opions when you right click it [00:05] makin it +x [00:05] Dr_Willis: What does taht mean? [00:05] ubunt1: thats the command you use to run somthi9ng in wine.... [00:05] rather straight fo4rward.. [00:05] in terminal [00:05] !hate | kop [00:05] kop: hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy === Zeike is now known as brandonj [00:06] dont hate "windows" because it is not all that great :) [00:06] ubunt1: or right click on the .exe and there should be some open in wine... menu item. [00:06] Dr_Willis: I see. Thanks. [00:06] hiexpo, your faith in the human condition knows no bounds [00:06] kop, fare enough, but I got chewed on royally for installing 9.10, was not pretty, but now, all but one box is on UB, her work laptop I was threatend with death if I touched that one :-) [00:07] hi [00:07] Dr:wills- You forgot a step there. [00:07] the whole '.exe needs to be executable' is a bit of a problem at times.. [00:07] ryaxnb, YOU used the word hate I didn't I just refuse to maintain M$ in my home [00:07] But you can do that in the opions of the file. [00:08] i dont even see the point in making a .exe 'executable' its NOT really an executable under linux at all.. it just causes more confuseion [00:08] hok i got a bone to pick [00:08] It worked! [00:08] Thanks so much, guys! [00:08] belkinsa: what happens if its on a CD :) or other read only media.... BAM! big issue.. [00:08] Good, now see if your mothers like it. No problem. [00:09] why is avahi-daemon have a dependency for wine?? i wont avahi-daemon gone and not wine wth [00:09] I bet she will. Good bye and much thanks again. [00:09] And good point Dr. [00:09] they do two different things.. [00:09] kop, lost me with > your faith in the human condition knows no bounds [00:09] all this just because of a game that already come........ [00:09] use winebrowser or use exec in fstab [00:09] belkinsa: we had a few threads on this topic in the forums. :) never did get a good answer on the 'exe needs to be executable' other then to hopefuilly prevent people from accidently running wine malware :) [00:10] ryaxnb, If you knew me at all I'm a right tool for the job guy . how else am I going to auto cad pshop or rhino ? [00:10] hiexpo, "kop, i think they know better so i can't blame it on ignorance just disrespect for others" :) [00:10] I see, and yeah the malware is the problem. Alrady gotten my internet IP address blacklisted. [00:10] ok why does wine need , lib32nss-mdns (>= 0.10-3)??? [00:10] because of malware. [00:11] does anyone use banshee? [00:11] my /usr/bin/X in htop is using 97% ... my machine is sluggish. I have a beefy machine that never gets like this in win7, anyone know other than ipv6 what i should do? I tried disabling compiz and it still does this [00:11] !anyone|tensorpudding [00:11] tensorpudding: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:11] how do is set environment variables for users that dont log in? like if i make a 'tomcat' user? [00:12] Oh yeah! I did it! [00:12] Karen_m: How did you disable compiz [00:12] ? [00:13] system->preferences->appearence->visual effects->normal [00:13] kop, exactly the definition of ignorance is not knowing any better or different to act in such a manor and i do believe human beings know better than that [00:13] Karen_m: what videocar are you using¿ did you manually edit xorg.conf ¿ [00:13] good call soreau ..i`d have assumed it was disabled. [00:13] anybody gotten starcraft 2 up and running? [00:14] yup [00:14] xangua, I am using an 8800gt [00:14] nvidia [00:14] luw: you have? === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [00:15] Karen_m: Normal means compiz is still running. To disable it, select None. If this fixes your issue, it means something is wrong with your graphics driver [00:15] i've gotten it installed and started, but it keeps shutting my computer off, hard. no halt process screen, nothing. just kills power [00:16] soreau, , there we go that fixed it. Yes the development graphic drivers aren't good :( [00:16] LOL really? [00:16] wow it's not even chewing cpu cycles anymore [00:16] yes i have, it is a great game too [00:16] hey, i got a wii zapper [00:16] can i go pew pew now? [00:16] is there any way to access windows shortcuts on a samba share in ubuntu [00:16] !ot > ryaxnb [00:16] ryaxnb, please see my private message [00:16] nvidia aint top dawg no more :) ATI :) [00:16] oops, wrong channel [00:16] i thought i was in OT [00:16] yeah, i'm confused as hell [00:16] i dont know why it is causing shutoffs though.. [00:16] SimonP86: in a nautilus window you can look at Edit->Preferences [media tab], but there is a key I don't see how to set on my karmic system. That is "gconftool -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount" which seem to govern this behavior. [00:17] ATI sucks [00:17] me either lol [00:17] Karen_m: what development driver¿¿ you men the one from the xorg team ppa¿¿ [00:17] did anyone get a remote control of haupauge dvb-t ministick working under 10.04? [00:18] xangua, there were 2 listed for my video card, the top one said development and the bottom said something about stable. I went with the development .. I am going to try the other one now [00:18] chemical-death: check the #mythbuntu channel and the forums. they are often teh tv tuner experts [00:18] version 173 is what i am using [00:19] Dr_Willis: ok. ty [00:19] is there anyway to tell if someone is hacking you? [00:19] system->admin->hardware drivers (it gives 2 options for nvidia .. 173 and 'current recommendation' .. I went with 173 [00:19] RealEyes, ask them [00:19] yeah, great idea. [00:19] <[thor]> RealEyes: type "is anybody out there?" in the command line [00:20] is command not found [00:20] is there any way to have a windows and linux system share the same drive and both use shortcuts/symlinks [00:20] Karen_m, Im using dual 8800-GTX cards on this box, 10.04 w/updates, I went with the recommended driver (current version), and all seems well at this point. [00:20] is there anyway to tell if someone is hacking you? [00:20] my chat wont get online either [00:20] that ones going in the fav question bood [00:20] by share the same drive i mean a data drive -eg documents [00:20] k [00:20] Karen_m, the current version = not the 173 version. [00:21] so ... there is no way? [00:21] RealEyes, dont worry about. dont do anything bad and the internets will treat you good === me is now known as Guest12955 [00:21] why are you suspicious? [00:21] RealEyes, you can search through your log files [00:21] I have to reboot to enable the 'current version', brb [00:21] <[thor]> rainrain: as long as it is formatted for NTFS, it should work fine ( not sure about sharing symbolic links ) [00:21] im convinced that nothing is wrong, now. [00:21] RealEyes: It really depends on what kind of hack and what kind of services you're running [00:22] Alright, next question... [00:22] How does one uninstall programs? [00:22] make it good like the last one [00:22] [thor], rainrain: I don't think you can install ubuntu on ntfs [00:22] apt-get uninstall [00:22] !manual | RealEyes please have a read [00:22] RealEyes, its like asking how do you know if anyone hacks for doze box.. well you dont, aside from 15 programs all throwing out useless information at you... [00:22] RealEyes please have a read: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ === wzk is now known as wzkOFF [00:22] luw: its remove, not uninstall [00:22] chemical-death, it didn't work dude, after that I tried to manually install the drivers using ndiswrapper but got errors [00:22] or purge! [00:22] luw, I'd like to entertain you but, I'm such a newb, I still need to configure conky [00:22] RealEyes, sudo apt-get remove package [00:23] rww: yeah yeah or that [00:23] <[thor]> brandonj: he is talking about using a drive as a Documents drive, and sharing that between both an ubuntu distro and a windows install [00:23] RealEyes: maco is correct [00:23] its remove [00:23] lepra maybe you ask someone in hardware room. [00:23] [thor]: ubuntu cant open windows shortcuts is my problem [00:23] lepra: !hardware [00:23] !hardware [00:23] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [00:23] brandonj: yes thor is right [00:23] [thor], rainrain: my dad, I only saw the 1st post [00:23] bad* [00:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076 RealEyes here is a tutorial for beginners [00:24] chemical-death, when modprobe ndiswrapper the shell crashed [00:24] I have the manual DL'd ... I just need to find it lol [00:24] sup bazhang [00:24] bazhang, ive found with most beginners its a lack of flashing tray icon that is most difficult to grasp... [00:24] <[thor]> rainrain: ubuntu only handles .lnk files when they are installed through wine, it seems [00:24] chemical-death, the first time i got it to work i installed it manually [00:24] chemical-death, thanks anyway [00:24] bazhang, they seem to have a paranoia, a new found one.. [00:25] <[thor]> rainrain: do you have wine installed? [00:25] lepra: so try it manually again [00:25] thor: all i really need is to be able to have ubuntu shortcuts to files on the external drive - would that just work right out of the box [00:25] why is there a terminal AND a 'root' terminal [00:25] ? [00:25] [thor]: no - havent used wine [00:26] RealEyes: one opens up right as the root user [00:26] [thor]: does it make .lnk files work [00:26] question: how would i find the IRC channel for virtualbox? [00:26] i dont think it's on this server? [00:26] or is it? [00:26] luw: look on the virtualbox website [00:26] <[thor]> rainrain: you can make ubuntu shortcuts in the folders, or on the desktop to the folders, or in your panel to the folders. [00:26] luw: #vbox [00:26] lepra: did you try this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [00:27] hey Pici [00:27] any advice for someone whose aptitude update fails a significant portion of the time due to "no address associated with hostname" errors? [00:27] tensorpudding: sounds like DNS troubles [00:27] [thor]: right so what i need is to re-create all my windows shortcuts as ubuntu shortcuts - with both sets of shortcut pointing to the original files [00:28] E: Invalid operation uninstall [00:28] brandonj: it only happens for us.archive.ubuntu.com [00:28] RealEyes: Its 'remove' not 'uninstall' [00:28] <[thor]> rainrain: wine is the microsoft compatibility layer.. there is a lot of details to be had when talking about that, check out http://www.winehq.org/ or their channel #winehq [00:28] lol [00:28] tensorpudding: I'm not sure then. You can always try using a different mirror [00:28] it's truly infuriating because it prevents me from downloading things half the time [00:29] [thor]: thanks for your help - i think i thought wine was just for running apps - but it seems to also interface with explorer ? [00:29] <[thor]> rainrain: yeah that's pretty much the way it'll work out [00:29] since the software center does not handle the error on "unauthenticated packages" [00:29] Pici: thank you! that is it. i have trouble using the "find channel" window because it always crashes my client [00:29] brandonj: ah you are correct too. i should have checked before i asked [00:29] thank you [00:30] what is udo? [00:30] chemical-death, I tried to install it manually but when I did "modprobe ndiswrapper" the shell crashed and stop responding [00:30] RealEyes: you mean sudo? [00:30] !sudo > RealEyes [00:30] RealEyes, please see my private message [00:30] inside a terminal, is there a way so that when you select something, it automatically copies to clipboard? I'm used to double clicking things, and it highlighting the word and going to buffer. Right now I have to double click, right click, copy [00:31] chemical-death, that link is the one I followed [00:31] No, I dont mean SUDO. I mean UDO. [00:31] type in 'sudo apt-get install udo' [00:31] !info [00:31] Retrieve information on a package: !info [00:31] lepra: ok [00:31] !info udo | RealEyes [00:31] RealEyes: udo (source: udo): universal document - text processing utility.

[00:31] Karen_m, check out an app called Glipper [00:31] Hi. I'm on an Aspire One netbook running ubuntu. Mic only works in the system test app. Any links for driver/firmware update? [00:32] Karen_m: as soon as you highlight some in a shell window it is already copied to the clipboard buffer until you highlight something else. To access the highlight and paste in somewhere, you can middle mouse button click, or left and right click at the same time [00:32] chemical-death, i wonder why the "modprobe ndiswrapper" crashed [00:33] lepra: try "sudo depmod -ae" then "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [00:33] New to ubuntu [00:33] Karen_m: yea like KE1HA mentioned or you could try out parcellite. [00:33] <[thor]> welcome, VegasMike [00:34] Thanks Thor [00:34] VegasMike: could be muted or volume down all the way [00:34] Just Pakeage manger if you know the name of the brand that did your mic [00:34] anyone know if it's possible to remove duplicate tracks from a banshee database without having to do it by hand using sqlite? [00:34] QUESTION: I configured my terminal to open at startup; How do I configure it to run a certain script at start up without me asking it to? [00:35] Thanks but I checked... and the mic works in the test app [00:35] wow it is already copied, my mistake. It's weird that the middle mouse button will paste it, but cntl+v will not. Strange, but very nice. MERCI [00:35] If, at anytime, you think I should be in #ubuntu-beginners, just say so :) [00:35] i am checking out glipper as we speak [00:35] iusb or whatever the code is might tell you the brand and company. [00:35] RealEyes, DO you want it to run the script whe you log in, or just after booting the system? [00:35] when i log in [00:36] guys, what recording software has the live disk ? [00:36] its a script that changes the background :) [00:36] for notebooks ? [00:36] disk recording* [00:36] RealEyes: you can use the "Startup Applications" from the menu -> Prefs>Startup Applications" and place your stuff that you want to auto-start there. [00:36] (but ONLY in the test app) [00:36] hello. what's the topic? [00:36] !topic > TELL0_ [00:36] TELL0_, please see my private message [00:36] Karen_m: better try parcellite, glipper has not been development in years [00:36] RealEyes, create the sctip in you /hom dir, chmod +x then add the script to your rc.local file. That sould do it. [00:37] idk what any of that means, KE1HA [00:37] the script is on my desktop now. [00:37] with which application i can record an iso while im in a live session ? [00:37] KE1HA: rc.local is for global stuff, not sure you'd want to do that for a general user script [00:37] hey guys [00:37] chmod +x is something i hear of a lot [00:37] i installed ubuntu lucid [00:37] RealEyes: man chmod [00:37] lol thx [00:37] RealEyes: np [00:37] but in gnome, my keyboard does not work [00:37] !anyone!n44n1 [00:37] RealEyes, it just makes the script executable. [00:37] any clue? [00:38] !ask > m41n1 [00:38] m41n1, please see my private message [00:38] anyone ? [00:38] OK thank you. I'm new using IRC hehe... [00:38] Did you test with a Live CD? [00:38] radi: Basero? [00:38] ok, I will get rid of glipper and use parcellite, thank you again guys [00:39] Karen_m: anytime [00:39] hiku: can i use that in a live session ? [00:39] i mean does it comes with it [00:39] come* [00:39] n41n1: Is it a wireless keyboard? [00:39] radi: well, take out the cd and try it. =) [00:39] hiku: lemme turn on the laptop :P [00:39] any takers? Common Gurus... [00:39] no usb === andrew is now known as Guest7947 [00:39] radi: I've never needed to burn an iso while running a live cd... so I'm not really sure.. [00:40] lsusb [00:40] m41n1: Model and Make please. [00:40] NGS [00:40] !lsusb [00:40] but it works on the console [00:40] hiku, fare comment, it would set the script for any user that looged in. Realeyes, you can also add it to you ./profile [00:40] hiku: main problem is i cant start the wireless [00:40] Ubuntu might not have the drivers for that one. [00:40] is that a file? "./profile"? [00:41] er ... I meant, a *folder? [00:41] KE1HA: rc.local doesn't require someone to logon for the commands in it to excute. .bashrc or .bash_profile are for that purpose. [00:41] Acer aspire one internal mic driver [00:41] idk what you guys are even talking about. [00:41] belkinsa: is there a way to diagnose the poblem? [00:41] RealEyes, yes, in a terminal window, type: ls -al and you'll see all dir's normal and hidden files [00:41] hi [00:41] to get a work around === Guest7947 is now known as tux11 [00:42] m41n1: Yes, with the Iusb command. [00:42] RealEyes: if you want a script to simply start and hopefully it's not a gui your tryin to kick off. then ~/.bashrc would be a good place to put it. [00:42] RealEyes, But puttign it into rc.local will enact the script for any user that logs in. [00:42] Or what command is it gain? The one to show the usb devices? [00:42] o.O; I only have one user. [00:42] RealEyes, relax just kick back and read best way tolearn > nothing like a good book [00:42] Hello... I wanna know how can I install ubuntu without USB or CD working [00:42] im reading, im reading [00:43] TELL0_: Vitural Box. [00:43] The fun of Linux, lots of ways to do the same thing :-) [00:43] If i have 4 windows (4 terminals) .. is there a way to click a few buttons and have it automatically split each 4 into perfect sizes on my window? Or better yet, winkey+left or winkey+right to split the windows in half like win7 on gnome? [00:43] guys i got this problem, when I open chrome to watch videos on youtube for example and I try to open a video o play a song there would be no sound nor video playing, but when i close chrome it all start working again, any idea on what could this be? thanks. [00:43] TELL0_: or wubi if you have windows [00:43] TELL0_: do you have an ethernet port and another computer? [00:43] dmesg says [00:44] USB Keyboard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/1-2.2/1-2.2:1.0/input/input4 [00:44] by the way, the 'current version' nvidia drivers with compiz fixed my issue. Well, it has not popped up like it did before with the development drivers ... after about 10 minutes the machine was lagging... now, beautiful [00:44] any use an iriver device with ubuntu? [00:44] Karen_m, cool, glad it worked. [00:44] m41n1: Hmmm, dunno, sorry. And thanks for understanding what I was talking about. [00:44] this is the scenario. Is a laptop with windows XP on it. BIOS do not detect USB on boot and the CD/DVD Room is broken. I tried the wubi way, but always give me an error [00:44] i just drag and drop folders into said device [00:44] RealEyes: if you place a command in /etc/rc.local. it will run regardless if you logon or not. If you want a script to run when you logon to the console then place the command in ~/.bashrc, if you want it to start when you logon to the gui/X/gdm (ubuntu default logon), then use System, Prefs, Startup Applications [00:45] lsusb see if it's there or not [00:45] Tell0: What was the error? [00:45] q [00:45] seems to be the best way to use iriver device with ubuntu [00:45] if you have another computer, set up a dhcp server and tftp server on it [00:45] how do i stop conky from running? [00:45] xangua, how did you know glipper was not in development in years? Where did you find that information so I can find if other packages have not been updated in years [00:45] iriver question? [00:45] killall conky [00:45] No more computer, just that one and ethernet connection [00:45] RealEyes: from a terminal, type: killall conky [00:46] Virtual Box is the way. [00:46] any own an iriver t5 mp3 device ? [00:46] with debian I used to use; rcconf to toggle what starts up when I rebooted. I think you can use .. update-rc.d or something like that [00:46] Karen_m: it's in glipper's web, the last version was released in 2007 [00:46] But get the close clouse of it [00:46] source. [00:46] xangua, ok thank you! [00:46] http://glipper.sourceforge.net/ [00:46] belkinsa but, can I format the HD with wirtualbox??? [00:47] hiku, thx! :D [00:47] RealEyes: your welcome [00:47] brb [00:47] ok so I cannot find the ~/bash.rc [00:47] any ideas iriver? [00:47] RealEyes: its .bashrc [00:47] looking for info on syncing iriver t5 mp3 device === wzkOFF is now known as wzk [00:47] RealEyes: if you mean the bash startup scripts [00:47] TELL0_: mabye check out boot.kernel.org? [00:48] yes i do [00:48] youre putting alot of hope in hardware there though [00:48] so i just add the script to the dot.bashrc? [00:49] TELL0_: on second thought, scratch that [00:49] RealEyes: i dont know what you are trying to do.. read the .bashrc and learn its layout. [00:49] its like looking at japanese [00:49] RealEyes: time to learn some bash then i guess.. its rather straight forward i thought. [00:50] looking for info on syncing iriver t5 mp3 device ! [00:50] anyone know how to get the bios with an "EZbook PC"??? [00:50] how does one learn bash? And dont tell me 'man bash' [00:50] RealEyes: all 90% of it is doing is setting ariables [00:50] hi.... [00:50] RealEyes: theres dozens of web sites and books on 'learning bash' [00:50] alrighty then [00:50] !bash [00:50] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:50] looking for info on syncing iriver t5 mp3 device [00:50] It just takes some time and effort. and is worth learning. [00:50] anyone here know anything about PDF-xchange viewer installation problems? [00:51] RealEyes: the .bashrc file is in your home dir. the . infront of the bashrc means the file is hidden. So to edit, you can use any editor from the command line like vi, pico, etc to edit the file. example: %> vi ~/.bashrc [00:51] can someone explain the differnce between ACL's and regular CHMOD attributes? I understand that ACL's are more fine-grained, but what does that mean in an example? [00:51] RealEyes: I have to ask why are you messing with the .bashrc exactly if you dont know any bash? what are you trying to do? [00:51] RealEyes, ^^ [00:52] Thanks for the concern, guys. [00:52] Dr_Willis: Trying to kick off a script auto-magicly when he logs in [00:52] Uh, basically, what I'm trying to do is make my terminal open at startup(done) and then run a series of scripts by itself. [00:52] One being a background changing script i came acrost, the other being conky [00:52] RealEyes: you want EVER terminal you open to do this? I think you are confused about some things. [00:52] No. [00:53] RealEyes: You can start conky from the gnome startup manager tookls/system. NOT .bashrc [00:53] A terminal opens at startup for me, now. [00:53] hi, a guy told me in here to install, linux-backports-modules-wireless-`uname -r`, said this could help me with my wireless is pretty unstable, but once I installed and rebooted, wlan0 dissapeared, any ideas, please? [00:53] Hi, I'm running 10.04 on a laptop, and screen saver and put display to sleep when idle worked fine but not it doesn't work. Why? [00:53] RealEyes: conky can be started from the "Startup Applications" app under System>Prefs>Startup Applications. [00:53] RealEyes: .bashrc is ONLY for bash specific stuff. [00:53] Is there a bug or something? [00:53] RealEyes: and, I bet money it will also work with your background changing script too. [00:53] * WarrenSensei is a n00b flailing around for help with a failing WINE install [00:54] WarrenSensei, what's the problem? [00:54] RealEyes: theres Dozens of 'wallpaper changer' tools out there. [00:54] n-iCe, what wireless card [00:54] btw anyone have an idea how to start bcm4311 wireless card ? [00:54] Dr_Willis: are you saying that in my .bashrc if I have perl $mydir/myperlscript.pl it won't run ? [00:54] i h8 desktop drapes [00:54] I just have a bash script that cycles all the images on my machine [00:54] I'm trying to install PDF-xchange viewer in WINE, and the install seems to just hang [00:55] hiku: it can run.. but whats that script doing tyhat needs to be ran on EVERY start of bash? [00:55] hello everybody, I am using Kubuntu 10.4 64-bit and with adobe flash plugin 32-bit and the firefox wrapper, webcam does not work in flash applications [00:55] Dr_Willis: true. was just wondering when you put "only for bash" =) [00:55] Hi, I'm running 10.04 on a laptop, and screen saver and put display to sleep when idle worked fine but not it doesn't work. Why? [00:55] looking for info on syncing iriver t5 mp3 device [00:55] RealEyes: check out http://www.webilder.org for a neat wallpaper changer [00:55] the terminal has just stopped showing any activity [00:55] I once had the 64-bit native plugin installed and I remember that webcam worked, but now I cannot find that plugin anymore [00:56] hiku: its not doing a bash thing.. so its pointless.. You could put 'startx' in your .bashrc and it would startx.. that would be rather annouying however [00:56] Dr_Willis: lol yea for sure. [00:56] eh, that looks like an 'easy listening radio' website. I dont want photos from flickr. [00:56] I want the photos on my machine to cycle. But, thats already done. [00:56] WarrenSensei, what's the last thing it said? [00:56] I just dont want to have to copy/paste that script into my terminal everytime. [00:57] RealEyes: webilder? You are confuised then. i see no mention of a radio swbsite.. --> Webilder delivers stunning wallpapers to your Linux desktop, directly from Flickr and Webshots. [00:57] Dr_Willis, i was jk. Its not for me, man. [00:57] RealEyes: use the Startup Applications app to set things you want to start automatic. [00:57] I do not want photos from flickr. [00:57] RealEyes: it can also use your own images of course.. read up on it. [00:57] fixme:font:load_VDMX no suitable ratio found [00:57] RealEyes: so dont use them.. woopiee... [00:57] whoopy [00:57] im going to see if i added the script to the startup the right way [00:57] BRB [00:58] room has litte to no real answers [00:58] hiexpo: iwl3945 [00:58] I hope he made his conky starttuop have a delay of like 20 sec.. :) [00:58] wich sucks [00:58] Dr_Willis: =) [00:58] tux11: so none of us have that device.. what do you expect? [00:58] its an iriver t5 [00:58] tux11: every mp3 player ive had.. i just copy the muzak over.. and thats it. [00:58] How do you compile a gtk+, libglade, c++ app for windows from within Ubuntu? Or do you need to switch to windows, get the dev stuff set up there and then use a win32 compiler? [00:58] ok ty [00:59] gpodder can synce mp3's however [00:59] Putting the script into the startup applications did not work. [00:59] ok little or no help a si've said [00:59] tux11: many of the media players can proberly do it.. I dont have an iriver so i cant tell ya. [00:59] lol [00:59] n-iCe, what brand card and chipset of it [00:59] worthless banter [01:00] RealEyes: can you pastebin your script that you are trying to run please [01:00] crap, they're closing the building [01:00] I'll have to come back later :-( [01:00] what's a good but simple drawing program for linux? [01:00] tux11: yep. i agree. Try out the players and learn what they can do for yourself. [01:00] of course i can, hiku, hang on. [01:00] lol [01:00] RealEyes: ty [01:00] cyphase: for drawing what exactly? [01:00] No one knows? [01:01] yup i need paid tech support [01:01] Dr_Willis, something like mspaint [01:01] Gimp for everything image related =) [01:01] wich i won't do [01:01] cyphase: Gimp =) [01:01] yeah drag and drop seems easest [01:01] hiku, yea, right :) [01:01] No developers around here? [01:01] WarrenSensei, have you checked the wine app db to see what it says? [01:01] is there a list of ubuntu compatible scanners somewhere? [01:01] cyphase: theres several paint proghrams out there.. theres a port of that paint.net to mono now i recall.. [01:01] !hardware | typemore [01:01] typemore: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [01:01] no... where might i find such a thing? [01:01] just thought somebody had used the gpodder frame work to build a media player [01:02] hiku: http://pastebin.org/463356 [01:02] cyphase: i found on called 'pinta' the other day also. a lot like mspaint [01:02] Dr_Willis, yea, i found that [01:02] ugh, who the hell designed this [01:02] tux11, what's the problem you're having? [01:03] night... I have Liferea running in my messaging menu, but there is a black-square icon on my indicator panel... how can I hide that icon? (the icon on messaging menu is working well) [01:03] hey Dr_Willis - what does =| mean ? [01:03] =| = a frown perhaps> :) [01:03] Hi folks. Having a problem with 10.04 not allowing my monitor to sleep properly. Screen blanks but backlight stays on. Used to work before, anyone know of a fix? [01:03] :) [01:03] hiexpo: or do you mean somewhere else? [01:04] grr, I've got to go, but I'll probably be back later. I'll try to check the wide app database on my own [01:04] thanks for that much help [01:04] anyone have an idea how to start bcm4311 wireless card ? [01:04] Dr_Willis, no in irc [01:04] hiexpo: just another silly smiley. [01:04] hiku, did you get the link? [01:04] RealEyes: yea got it, ty. === dave is now known as Guest91349 [01:04] what do you think of it? [01:04] Off to the store.. bbl. [01:04] WarrenSensei, http://appdb.winehq.org/ sorry i couldn't help more [01:05] RealEyes: odd, that script should run fine. [01:05] How can I include webcam video in a recorded screencast? [01:05] not when added to the startup applications [01:05] how do i make the terminal run it automatically? [01:05] RealEyes: hmm, do you get an error window or anything? [01:05] nope. [01:05] RealEyes: odd [01:05] the startup just doesn't run it [01:05] anyone ? [01:05] radi, ubuntu + wireless = bad news [01:05] RealEyes: did you put the full path to the script? === rgs is now known as rgs__ [01:06] anyone know how to get the bios with an "EZbook PC"???

[01:08] no problem [01:08] i can see the wireless networks, but it keeps asking me for the key [01:08] which i know that it is correct [01:09] lol restarting doe smean it unstable [01:09] radi, that old chestnut. try wicd. [01:09] wicd ? [01:09] unless your having a problem u failed to metion ?

It was working. I left and I come back and it's showing quits and joins again :( [01:09] why cant i use a terminal thats running a process?

[01:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:12] but these are not errors due to me being new [01:12] radi, well I can help you setup an interfaces file with wpa2 [01:12] it's the OS just malfunctioning [01:13] radi, bypass any gui fail [01:13] window sthing happened once [01:13] it could be a broken package [01:13] tux11, is that fixable without rebooting? [01:13] linking something so u hav ethe window sbuttons [01:13] could be [01:13] duffydack: let me try without security and will see for the next step [01:13] lol [01:13] lol?

[01:14] yeah shut of compiz [01:14] 10.04 [01:14] 32bit [01:14] radar3d_, NM works for me, but I prefer my net to be there when desktop appears, not 12 seconds later [01:14] go to no windows effects/desktop effects [01:15] radar3d_, sorry, wrong person :) Mean radi [01:15] k [01:15] go to an open area non the desktop and right clcik [01:15] and clcik on change desktop background [01:16] then a tabbed box will pop up [01:16] So is there any good reason why I can login through GDM and am dropped on a blank screen with only my background, no nautilus or gnome-panel?

[01:17] i did [01:17] i turned them off [01:17] and turn off them all off [01:17] duffydack: thanks again [01:17] but now [01:17] some time sit takes a mintue [01:17] i have a line on my screen [01:17] intresting [01:17] and anything below it disappears [01:17] not sure [01:17] lcd? [01:17] only the windows disappear [01:17] try a reboot now [01:18] i still have a toolbar at the bottom [01:18] k [01:18] oh hey look, I also can't setup to login automatically. [01:18] brb [01:18] n-iCe, that is useless info i need manufacture of card model number and version of it like athereos ath5001 ver 2 etc [01:18] man, this is so awesome. its amazing how its just more and more stable with each release. just how like gnome adds new features and realyl makes everythign better [01:18] hahaha === ben is now known as bennkenn [01:19] Auto login is there in the GDM config tool.

I constantly get a Java specific problem every time i try to execute the command [01:21] Dr_Willis: Ah. They hid it a little. Nice.

[01:21] how can i add a mountpoint to the places menu for every account? [01:21] What is the best screencasting app for ubuntu 10.04? [01:21] !best [01:21] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. === DjMadness_ is now known as DjMadness [01:22] Dr_Willis, http://imgur.com/LgckI.png [01:22] Is there a place where I could find a high-res file of the new ubuntu logo (the circle in orange) [01:22] Hey, I have a huge music Library. I want to change the permissions of all the files all at once. Is there an easy way of doin this? [01:22] ouch [01:22] pooper: nice name! made me lol [01:22] try syanptic packaage manger [01:23] tim_, change to what? [01:23] tim: do you know how to use the terminal? [01:23] cyphase, so every one on my network can use them [01:23] tim: if so, 'chmod' [01:23] hughessd, yes. [01:23] Yeah chmod okay [01:24] there is a recursive command [01:24] tim_, if you're using the builtin share functionality, it should do it for you [01:24] ubottu: thank you, I am new; I want to have my webcam feed in screencast of desktop [01:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:24] tim_, chmod -R [01:24] ./chmod -R [permission] [01:24] sdbinwiiexe: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ should have one [01:24] now the permission have always confused me when using chmod [01:25] tim: if you want everyone to have permission, use 777 [01:26] sdbinwiiexe: looks like http://design.canonical.com/brand/Logos/Ubuntu_brandmark_aw.zip has SVGs that should work [01:26] tim_, well you'll also ahve to share the folder, so you could chown -R nobody:nobody and then share the folder with Samba or from the desktop right click and share. [01:26] I move from computer to computer how can I tell x to choose a different config based on my current hardware? [01:26] tsziklay, Im aka DrPoO [01:26] hughessd, tim_ don't use 777 on files! (ok on directories) [01:26] basix? [01:26] ;) [01:27] tim_, easiest wany for global sharing isn NFS and Samba, makes life easy. [01:27] ZykoticK9, what I would do is chmod -R ./music [01:27] ah, thanks ZykoticK [01:28] ZykoticK9, what I would do is chmod -R 777 ./music [01:28] how to find a person on irc? [01:28] tim_, 777 will make your files executable! not what you want. [01:28] tux11: irc book like the phone book [01:28] Hey guys, I made a mistake that I'd love to fix-I installed the NetBook edition of Ubuntu on my MacBook and I really want the Desktop edition for the Gnome desktop. When I try to use the Gnome option on the lockscreen, the computer freezes and restarts into Ubuntu. [01:28] hi deco [01:28] help, my mouse dont work [01:28] hi tux11 [01:29] Ciruelo: lol [01:29] well...anybody want to help someone with audio compression issues? [01:29] dmar198, just state the problem. [01:29] ZykoticK9, you see I can see the files I want to transfer from one computer to the other but it tells me I don't have the permissions.... [01:29] ed [01:30] ZykoticK9, is chmod the best way? [01:30] I have a CD quality mp3 that's 15 minutes long, 20 megabytes. I'd like it to be 2 or 3 megabytes, still mp3, lower quality. What do I do? [01:30] people, i need help my mouse dont work on ubuntu 10.4 [01:30] tim_, if you wan't "see" them, be sure the directory you are sharing had executable set for Other group (your 777 setting on the directory) [01:30] dmar198, install soundconverter is probably best.. but 1-2mb, ouch [01:30] tim_, s/wan't/can't [01:30] dmar198, open ubuntu software center and type in mp3 converter [01:30] Ciruelo what, it just doesn't work? [01:31] okay....but the conversion, will it allow me to keep the same format and just specify the megabytes? [01:31] just dont work... [01:31] man my usb hard drive is faster than my desktop one -.- [01:31] have you tried re-syncing if its wireless, Ciruelo? [01:31] tim_ set your files to 750 adn the Dir to 640 tha't safe, and dont use 777 as that clobbers standard files with execution that's not needed. [01:31] hello, I installed the eclipse myself by extracting the .tar.gz file to my home directory (so it's installed in ~/eclipse) [01:32] dmar198: you don't specify mb you specify the bit-rate and the length determines the size unless you encode with variable bit rate [01:32] androidrocks135, its a ps2 mouse [01:32] Can someone please tell me why /ignore(s) from irssi are not staying past program restart? When I use /ignore it is showing #ubuntu: PARTS QUITS JOINS... It worked at first. I restart irssi and now it's not working. [01:32] that work on windows === anonymous is now known as Guest69492 [01:32] androidrocks135 my mouse work on windows, but not in ubuntu 10.04 [01:32] kisplit: you're trying to ignore #ubuntu? [01:33] aeon-ltd :: okay [01:33] ps2... maybe ps2 isn't supported in 10.04 Ciruelo [01:33] How can you boot into ubuntu fro BusyBox prompt? [01:33] from* [01:33] Gnea: I'm trying to ignore PARTS JOINS and QUITS from #ubuntu [01:33] is there a specification on the effect variable bitrates will have on file size? [01:33] KE1HA, the permissions confuses me. What 750, 650, and 777 mean and how do you know what it means? [01:33] kisplit: you need to use /save afterwards to save configuration changes like that [01:33] duffydack: do you know how to avoid the black screen on boot with a laptop except nomodeset ? [01:33] rww: I did and it's written to the .config file [01:33] dmar198: no but its usually "less"(used loosely) than constant bitrate [01:34] I'm currently running eclipse by typing "~/eclipse/eclipse" but if I just type "eclipse" terminal says "The program 'eclipse' is currently not installed." [01:34] how can I tell it where eclipse is installed please? [01:34] aeon-ltd [01:34] rww: .irssi/config* [01:34] kisplit: odd. I used "/ignore -channel #ubuntu * JOINS PARTS QUITS" and it works fine [01:34] SimonP86: eclipse --version, maybe? [01:34] SimonP86: create a soft link in /usr/local/bin [01:34] SimonP86, did you install eclipse yourself or with Ubuntu tool? [01:34] rww: and after that command you used /save? [01:34] myself [01:34] dmar198, you are asking for 10% of the filesize, I dont think you can do it [01:34] pooper: err yeah? [01:35] How can I boot ubuntu from BusyBox prompt? [01:35] kisplit: http://irssi.org/documentation/tips [01:35] radi, do you get a splash at all? [01:35] SimonP86, so Eclipse is currently installed in your home directory then. [01:35] Hey room... Question. A friend is overseas and at her campus they can access the internet only AFTER they view a commercial. BUT to view it they need to install a plugin (she gets an error on the validity of the site when going do dl them). I'm wondering if there's a way to backup/restore the system if what they dl messes with their system. Fyi, they have no external drive. [01:35] aeon-ltd, i strongly recommend installing the version of Helios that is available for download through their site [01:35] yeah [01:35] just wodering how i fix a unresponsive scipt on firefox [01:35] is that bad? [01:35] duffydack: nope, just after grub it gets to black screen or white with lines [01:35] or something similar [01:35] I wasn't sure where to extract the tarball [01:35] SimonP86, it's not really "bad" - just not the Ubuntu way of doing things [01:35] if i put nomodeset its ok [01:35] duffydack :: okay. There must be software that does it, though. 15 megabyte podcasts are all like 3 megabytes or so. [01:35] pooper: i think you have the wrong person, i don't want eclipse [01:35] radi, does it boot? [01:35] ye [01:35] with nomodeset option [01:36] rww: /ignore [01:36] ZykoticK9: where shall I move it? :) [01:36] oops [01:36] SimonP86: usually things you install like that go into /opt/ and then are linked into /usr/local/bin so you can invoke them [01:36] rww: sorry disregard that [01:36] Howdy! [01:36] th0r: thanks [01:36] th0r: shall I just move it there now? [01:36] SimonP86: put it in /opt/eclipse [01:36] dmar198, use soundconverter, set bit rate to 64kpbs, sample rate to 22khz (or maybe 11khz if you really NEED to)..and go [01:36] thanks duffy [01:36] I'm looking to setup my webcam on a Dell Studio 17 in Ubuntu 10.04 [01:37] I downloaded it, am trying out some tests now [01:37] Is there any way to boot Ubuntu from BusyBox? [01:37] radi, so you want a splash? [01:37] SimonP86, typically you'd install eclipse by running "sudo apt-get install eclipse" or use Synaptic/or Ubuntu Software Center. If you have to "manually" install for whatever reason, then your home directory is fine really, or use /opt or whatever. good luck man. [01:37] Anyone know how to disable sound completely in a system without a soundcard? [01:38] duffydack: well, basically i want to boot it without nomodeset [01:38] splash doesnt matter [01:38] I've installed Camorama, but it "Cannot connect to video device" [01:38] radi, well this *might* be of some help. http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [01:38] ZykoticK9: have now moved the eclipse dir to /opt [01:38] Is there any way to boot Ubuntu from BusyBox? Anyone? [01:39] I have a second problem with Ekiga. [01:39] radi, uses nomodeset but gives me a nice splash [01:39] it doesn't seem to be able to play sound on audio calls [01:39] any ideas? [01:39] hm [01:39] ok, ill read more [01:39] i dont care about that bug btw ;P [01:39] radi, uses framebuffer too, so might help. [01:39] How do I setup a Dell Studio 17 webcam in 10.04? Camorama says it can't find the video device. [01:40] now that it's in /opt how can I create a link so that I can just type "eclipse" from terminal and it'll run? [01:40] how can i add a mountpoint to the places menu for every account? probably under the Computer entry, as if it was an external drive [01:40] LorgonJortle, I know for a fact webcam works "out of the box" on a studio 17. I have one. [01:40] Gnea and rww: Weird, when I use /ignore -channels #ubuntu * JOINS QUITS it works and stays past program restart. On the other hand. If I used /ignore #ubuntu +QUITS it does not [01:40] SimonP86: 'sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/whatever /usr/local/bin/eclipse' [01:40] Gnea and rww: thanks for the help [01:40] dmar198, my advice, use skype [01:40] duffydack: What am I missing then... what software are you using? [01:41] SimonP86: check the man page...I may have the target and link reversed in that command [01:41] duffydack :: skype doesn't support SIP [01:41] LorgonJortle, nothing.. cheese can verify it [01:41] is there a good gui C++ compiler for linux i can download through the Software Center [01:41] skype works fine, though. I have it installed and use it every month [01:41] Ekiga is the problem [01:42] dmar198, never used ekiga, sorry.. only skype. [01:42] god you have to love fast usb drives [01:42] okay, thanks duffy [01:42] basix-: whats wrong with gcc? [01:42] Hmmm.. well Camorama won't work. I suppose I'll try another program from the repo. [01:43] LorgonJortle, 'cheese' [01:43] basix-: Do you mean IDE? The GUI IDE will use the gcc toolchain for compiling most likely. [01:43] LorgonJortle, for webcams start by trying them with cheese [01:43] basix-: Eclipse comes to mind [01:43] eclipse ok, how do i access gcc? [01:43] terminal? [01:43] Oh, damn. I'm sorry, I'm use to 'cheese' being Mr. Cheese. haha [01:43] basix-: Or Code::Blocks [01:43] I'm on it, thanks. [01:43] i want like a project manager type of program [01:44] basix-: Eclipse and Code::Blocks are the "managers" [01:44] radi, wait until SSD technology is mature, then we're looking at real fast speeds :-) [01:44] k [01:44] could anyone tell me how to set up the autologin, so when you get to gdm it doesn't ask the pass? [01:44] basix-: gcc is the command line tool that is called by the managers [01:44] kisplit, thx [01:44] th0r: I checked the man pages and target and link were the right way around, however after running "sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/local/bin/eclipse" I still got the "The program 'eclipse' is currently not installed." error message when I ran "eclipse" in my home dir [01:44] but in command line? [01:44] basix-: np :) [01:44] And NetBeans! [01:44] Hello, I'm trying to upgrade to apache 2.2.16 but I can't find it in any repository, I'm using lucid any hints? [01:44] KE1HA: im looking for my i7 cpu very soon, donno for hard drives ;P [01:44] Yup and NetBeans xD [01:44] SimonP86, system/admin - login screen [01:45] I'm there [01:45] SimonP86: if you type '/opt/eclipse/eclipse' does it work? that might be the problem [01:45] * radi is cache eater [01:45] SimonP86, sorry, wrong again lol I mean m41n1 [01:45] np :) [01:45] has anyone else used ekiga much, other than duffydack? [01:45] * kyngdom watches [01:45] duffydack: but from command line?

[01:48] but that lol ( kek ) kills me every time ;P [01:48] would it be 10.10.10.10?n [01:48] androidrocks135: Seriously, watch the language. [01:48] Gnea, i was told (perhaps incorrectly) that they'd decided on the 3X 10 - is that not final? [01:48] androidrocks135: it is when you call people names. [01:48] androidrocks135: read that again and try to guess why no one is helping you [01:48] just wondering [01:48] androidrocks135 :: try command lining "Format C" (just kidding) [01:48] !attitude > androidrocks135 [01:48] androidrocks135, please see my private message [01:48] androidrocks135, gnome as in ubuntu or gnome pure [01:48] f00bar80: You will either have to bridge the connections or use masquerading. Google - how to share connection ubuntu [01:48] my software center will not install or remove anything, everytime I try it fails [01:49] alright, thanks, guys/gals. Cheese works perfectly. [01:49] ZykoticK9: it will be final on 10.10.10 [01:49] linux_op, Dont think so, would be 10.XX.XX is they stay on the relase cycle. [01:49] If* [01:49] in the details i am left with this message, "E:I wasn't able to locate a file for the libmng1 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch): " [01:49] but seeing as how it's 8.9.10 now, it's not done yet :) [01:49] Dell did a great job with Studio 17 in terms of Linux compatability. [01:49] Gnea, no i was talking about the day for release is it 10.10.10? confused... sorry. [01:49] i have a weird issue with a new install of lucid on amd64, using the flash installer hulu works but i can't click on youtube [01:50] LorgonJortle, thats why I keep buying [01:50] ZykoticK9: yes, 10.10.10 - the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year [01:50] can click on hulu but not youtube [01:50] technically, 11th year, but who's counting? ;) [01:50] Gnea, all good ;) [01:50] duffydack: Yeah, I just got this beast today.

[02:13] KE1HA: what you mean? big big problem? [02:13] n00berthanyou: you cant change architectures after install [02:13] n00berthanyou: you could do a 64bit install and then install the netbook UI afterward [02:13] dang. Alright, thanks maco. [02:13] n00berthanyou, use 32 bit it is better [02:13] Hollow`Point: in the case of installing that pointer program, you need to prepend the command with the 'sudo' command, like this: sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings [02:14] gnea, login... [02:14] Thing is, I just realized that my computer can handle 64 bit. OK, thanks anyway [02:14] maco: have you seen the new 64bit netbooks? [02:14] gnea... no network icon on the new user :( [02:15] cablop: might need to make sure the new user is within the proper groups [02:15] i think 32 bit is better [02:15] Gnea: nope... i thought a few atoms were avilable 64bit but that theyd gone away already [02:15] ok i shared a directory on ubuntu, it shared it wrong, the options were confusing and stupid, and now it wont let me unshare it, even though IT IS sharing it... [02:15] in ubuntu's attempt to simplify file sharing it apparently made it confusing, retarded, and NOT WORKING [02:15] Gnea: i have a brand new netbook with one of the new atoms (n450) and afaik, thats 32bit [02:16] how do i unshare a directory i shared, but isnt showing up as being shared.. and has no option in the gui's to unshare, and isnt in my samba config... [02:16] hi, i'm installing ubuntu netbook to a asus eeepc 701 and it is stopped when installing grub in sda . Somebody knows what's happening?

[03:29] rallias, I use chromium already ;) [03:29] johnhamelink thanks i'll check it out [03:30] i'm new be can u give totorial using samba... [03:30] fdisk -l nothing comes out [03:30] !panels [03:30] BalSak: tried to reset the panel¿ [03:30] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:30] or maybe reinstall the indicator packages [03:30] himel: sudo fdisk -l [03:31] thx IdleOne [03:31] !help [03:31] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:31] johnhamelink: then DNS caching is your best bet. If you visit google.com alot, then it keeps the ip address to google.com in the cache and doesn't reconnect to the dns server every request, just every time the cache link expires. [03:31] rallias, i guess you're right [03:32] johnhamelink: for whatever reason, Ubuntu's networking mechanism seems to be incompetent in terms of its dns caching capibilities [03:32] johnedy: there are many but heres one i found on google http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 [03:32] rallias, I've been trying to get past this annoying limitation for the past 2.5 hours, you have given me a silver lining of sorts :P [03:32] johnhamelink: i think you are right to suspect a deeper root issue. dnscaching will make the problem less impactful but it will still exist [03:33] the only problem is that if you are running low on ram now you will go into swap rehab alot when you install this service [03:33] rallias, aah - this is a netbook :S [03:33] thune3, yeah: of all the ralink drivers my netbook could have come with >.< [03:34] whats the name of the GD libraries for php? [03:35] johnhamelink: then in edit connections, select wireless -> your wireless access point -> edit -> IPv4 Settings, set method to automatic dhcp addresses only, and set the dns servers to "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" [03:35] mount: can't find /dev/sdb2/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [03:35] sigh but it breaks my system if install it an avahi-daemone [03:35] wht the meaning>>>mount: can't find /dev/sdb2/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [03:35] question.... at Starbucks you need a browser to get on their wifi by accepting via a checkbox on the starbucks site. You can't ssh UNTIL that happens, right? [03:36] So_Confused: you can, it only proxies http connections i believe [03:36] rallias: result! I actually tried that with opendns instead of google's dns. For some annoying reason it works now! [03:36] but i would click that box jic [03:37] so_confused: no services till you login. [03:37] wht is fstab/mtab [03:37] I can someone help me troubleshoot ssh issues, i'm getting a public key error, i followed a bunch of guides all permissions are set right [03:37] So_Confused: I would asume so they will filter out any atempt to go outside there local network till you pay them money or they give you access [03:37] i'm just stuck... i can't figure this out [03:37] makson: did you try adding an exception? === pecar_ is now known as pecar [03:37] himel: /etc/fstab is a location for your mounting partitions [03:37] sacarlson: that's what I thought... ty [03:38] elkclone: ty [03:38] rallias: ty... I'll try tomorrow [03:38] So_Confused: I agree with sacarlson, I think they drop all outgoing connections. There's no guarantee you can SSH even after paying. [03:38] himel: fstab = doc that initiates which partitions will mount upon booting into linux [03:38] makson: is this ssh a client or server problem? [03:38] So_Confused: Unless you've done it before. [03:38] guys i got this problem, when I open chrome to watch videos on youtube for example and I try to open a video o play a song there would be no sound nor video playing, but when i close chrome it all start working again, any idea on what could this be? thanks. [03:39] maxwellian: haven't done it before.... and actually Starbucks offers free wifi now. No need for money or an att account like before. [03:39] sacarlson: rallias yes, i believe it's a server side issus with the public key... [03:39] brb [03:39] Gimped: i want to access my window drive? [03:39] So_Confused: Ah, okay. Well just be aware that they might only allow HTTP traffic, or something like that. [03:39] maxwellian: So_Confused: that's true they can filter the ssh port if they don't want you to ssh to something but not sure why the would do that. you can also change the port that ssh uses to get around that [03:39] himel: is your windows drive in the fstab document? if it is then it should load on linux boot [03:39] So_Confused: Don't get your hopes up. [03:39] rallias: wow, epic fail - i left my ethernet cable in >.< Yeah there's no difference [03:40] johnhamelink: uhh... [03:40] albertolempira: sounds like a pulseaudio problem maybe; just a guess [03:40] sacarlson: they do block port 22, but I've configured my server to listen to another port... I'm gonna try it tomorrow. === obadiah is now known as Vivek [03:41] Hi back [03:41] makson: did you just do a standard install of ssh? [03:41] back [03:41] sacarlson: it came with ubuntu server [03:41] johnhamelink: just like my dad says: they never tell you the whole story. You may end up charging 300 dollars just to change a light bulb (he did that once) [03:41] makson: what error do you see? [03:41] rallias, sorry, what context do you mean? ^.^ [03:41] im running win7+ubuntu.6h ago i access all drive from ubuntu.but this morning i can't access my win drives!! [03:42] sacarlson: It works fine for my user, and another test user... I scp my public key up to the server create the .ssh dir and rename the public key to authorized_keys fiel with right permissions [03:42] johnhamelink: your dns issues [03:42] sacarlson: I get Permission denied (publickey) [03:42] rallias, aah I see :P [03:42] How can I access my files on a HD that are using ecrypt-fs? [03:42] himel: What happened in the last 6 hours that's relevant, and what happens when you try to access your drives normally? [03:42] sacarlson: If i do a -v for the failing account I see it trying the private key, for the working account i see it trying public key [03:42] makson: ok you access without login with keys and you tried to install keys? [03:43] magn3ts: by logging into the user who owns those files. [03:43] hi, how do i install grub from the ubuntu cd? [03:43] sacarlson: which deosn't make any sense to me because the private key is on my box and it should be trying that key, why would it try the public key and WORK? the public key shoudl be on the server [03:43] Hey all. [03:43] sacarlson: i have access with password ( have that turned on as well ) keys fail [03:44] rallias, I'm not booting on this HD...

[03:44] I know this is a pretty specific problem, but the switch from Sun Java to OpenJDK (thanks, Maverick) seems to have borked my little project in Eclipse. Anybody have experience in that arena? [03:44] ... ok [03:45] rallias, im off to bed, its 3:44 here [03:45] makson: ok it's been a while since I setup this but I recall my problem was the priv I left on the key. it won't work if you leave it readable. I"ll google what I did back then [03:45] :P [03:45] I'm using `sudo mount -t ecryptfs /media/harddrive/home/cole /media/colepriv` with no luck. is aes/16 the default for ubuntu's ecryptfs setup? [03:45] rallias, thanks for your help, i'll keep at it :) [03:45] bye =] [03:45] maxwellian: if you have problems with open jdk remove it and reinstall sun java [03:45] sacarlson: I have the public on server not private [03:45] now it says Unable to mount New Volume [03:45] private is on client side sacarlson < [03:46] Not Authorized [03:46] xangua: I was under the impression that it wasn't being maintained by Ubuntu anymore?

How on earth can ubuntu ship, allowing end users to use ecryptfs w/o a way to get the data back without booting that specific drive? mind boggling [03:50] himel: so the mount atempt gives you errors? [03:51] wht i do now? [03:51] hi, in ubuntu 10.04, why can't i save my xorg.conf file? i try to open, "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" it opened a blank page. then i try to save it, the terminal says critical ** [03:51] himel: tell us what errors you see?

[03:53] Hollow`Point: try vim , nano also try with gksu instead of sudo , No idea what the error means :P [03:54] himel: sudo mkdir /mnt [03:54] "Not Authorized" means? [03:54] himel: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt [03:54] I think so. I know putting mp3s on without iTunes is hard enough. If you are jailbroken you could ssh. [03:55] sudo mkdir /mnt >> mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt': File exists [03:55] jellow: wats vim? i tried gksudo, same result [03:56] Text editor [03:56] himel: ok just do the secound sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt [03:57] hello. I copied some files to an external drive using gksudo nautilus. Now I can't copy and paste them to another ubuntu computer. It says I don't have the permission. what can I do? [03:57] Sudo chmod 777 [03:57] sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt>>fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy [03:57] himel: or create another sudo mkdir /mnt2 sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt2 === bullgard_ is now known as bullgard [03:58] ok [03:58] switz, was that chmod instruction for me?

[04:00] You are basically just changing the permissions as root. [04:00] does anyone know what file is controlling the hostname on command prompt, i can't seem to get it to update despit changing /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [04:00] russ5811: Not meaning to be critical, just wondering whether you needed to do that. [04:00] but when i clicked the drive it says Error>>Unable to mount 54 GB Filesystem>>Not Authorized [04:01] russ5811: I'm guessing that you are creating more work for yourself than is necessary. [04:01] max, when I tried to copy to the external drive, it didn't work. [04:01] plunder: have you rebooted yet? [04:01] anyone [04:01] sacarlson: yeah [04:01] so i did it as root. then i realized my mistake [04:01] how do i get GDM to boot into DWM not gnome? [04:01] problem is, 45 GB of data were already transferred. now i'm stuck [04:02] russ5811: Where is the drive mounted? [04:02] i tried to cd to the folder, but I can't get to it. I can only seem to find it in the nautilus gui [04:02] plzzzzz help me === Guest50211 is now known as Sup|Lobby [04:03] russ5811: Are you typing the full path? [04:03] max, the files are now at Desktop/Backup. however, the were put there as root. so i can only view them via nautilus root. is that making sense? [04:03] russ5811: Instead of chmod'ing them, you can chown them to yourself. [04:04] himel: Have to use sudo to mount it. [04:04] ok, max. probably a noob ?, but how would i chown them? [04:04] GDM login to DWM anyone? [04:04] I can't remember my password on a laptop I have Ubuntu installed on - Is there a way to change that or find out what the old password is with a Ubuntu Live CD ? ? [04:04] plunder: I don't know seems you did it right, try create a new user and login to that acount and see if it changes for that acount. maybe it's also someplace in the home dir [04:04] russ5811: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER/Desktop/Backup [04:04] russ5811: No problem, and I didn't mean to keep you from what seemed like an acceptable solution for you. :) [04:04] KB1JWQ: yes some1 try to help me but can't [04:04] Does anyone here know the difference between a normal terminal and one opened with a login shell? [04:05] no problem. easy is better :), would i replace all the $USER with my id? [04:05] himel: Welp, good luck. [04:05] russ5811: no just copy paste [04:05] ok. one se. [04:05] Can I change my password by booting to a Live CD ? ? ? [04:05] KB1WQ: sudo mount not working [04:06] mxe5: yes you need to mount the hd and edit /etc/shadow [04:06] plunder: I don't see it in my home dir when I grep so I'm still not sure [04:07] max, I got this output: cannot access `/home/russ5811/Desktop/Backup': No such file or directory [04:07] sacarlson: so wtat is the problem why i can't access??

[04:09] makson: What a horrid problem description. [04:09] mxe5: /etc/shadow is where linux stores the password hashes so you have to edit it and reboot [04:09] makson: cool I need some of those [04:09] sacarlson: pastbin means? [04:10] max, ok. I'm putting that code in directly into terminal. didn't work. tried it after cd to Desktop. didn't work. am I perhaps missing something? or is there another way to recover these files to an accessible state?

Is it showing anywhere in Nautilus? [04:12] russ5811: is everything capitalized correctly? [04:12] plunder: ya I think that's it [04:12] max: here's the directory as best i can tell: root/Desktop/Backup [04:13] russ5811: Ah, duh. [04:13] do I just add root in there?

[04:14] * maxwellian can't remember [04:14] my regular Desktop is fine, or anywhere that's simple [04:14] makson: The port not being blocked is it? [04:14] makson: I bet it does show up in the auth log or secure log ( I forget which Ubuntu uses). [04:15] makson: Are you seeing TCP session establishment? [04:15] no, they're on my HDD now, but they're only accessible through root. the external drive is now out of the equation [04:15] russ5811: Oh, great. [04:15] is there a computer channel here on this server.. i was thinking about getting a laptop and wanted some feedback which channel would i go to?

[04:16] russ5811: ;) [04:16] himel: ok it's there just cd /mnt and ls to see what's in your disk [04:17] picard1421: you could try and brave #hardware .. === aperson is now known as APERSON [04:17] himel: you had already mounted it you also have to look at it [04:17] russ5811: Still unclear about the actual path to the Backup folder though. Can you try right-clicking on one of the files and maybe there's a Properties option or something? [04:18] himel: you can also view the files in your nautilus file browser [04:18] Test [04:18] jellow: Thanks though - Appreciate it ! [04:18] russ5811: I guess in Ubuntu root's homedir is /root, but I want to be sure. [04:18] jellow hmm ok [04:19] sacarlson: just i clicked and it says error>>Unable to mount System Reserved>>Not Authorized [04:19] Does anyone know how to recover FNEK from an external drive with an encrypted home folder? You know, as in, how to actually get data out of the encrypted partitions that ubuntu allows users to use. [04:19] KB1JWQ: nothing in auth log which is anoying me... [04:19] magn3ts: do you have the key? [04:19] KB1JWQ: nothing in syslog either [04:19] himel: did you try cd /mnt ? [04:19] max: I'll describe the best I can. I opened a terminal and typed gksudo nautilus then I navigated to Desktop, then I created a folder called Backup. when looking at the gui, it has root, then Desktop, then Backup on the folder heirarchy. [04:19] does that help? [04:19] picard1421: or come to think of it try #ubuntu-offtopic [04:19] Kravlin, I have the login phrase and I have the unwrapped passphrase... I just need the FNEK signature. [04:20] himel: sudo cd /mnt [04:20] magn3ts: good luck then :P. not sure how to recover that [04:20] russ5811: Yes, thanks. I messed around on my machine to figure some things out too, so we should be set. :) [04:20] sacarlson: yes, and shows my all dir/files [04:20] Kravlin, omg, thanks anyway, just can't believe they ship this feature with absolutely no documentation to be found on how to undo it, especially considering its /encrypting/ my /data/. >_< [04:20] I'm my laptop has dual GPUs: An intel card and an nvidia card. By default ubuntu was using the intel card. I installed the nvidia driver from restricted hardware but didn't like how fast my battery was draining. I uninstalled from restricted hardware but now when I lshw -C display I ONLY see the nvidia card with the driver=nouveau. How do I get back to the intel gpu :(? [04:20] himel: so it works? [04:21] russ5811: One more thing, do you have a different folder called Backup in your own home dir? [04:21] jewllow i need an invite to hardware [04:21] himel: you can't mount a disk that is already mounted [04:21] !register > picard1421 [04:21] picard1421, please see my private message [04:21] max: you mean the one I would normally see if not in root? [04:21] max: if so, then no i do not. [04:21] russ5811: Right, okay. [04:21] himel: but if it is mounted you can cd to the dir and view and manipulate the files [04:22] russ5811: Okay, so type 'sudo mv /root/Desktop/Backup ~russ5811/Backup' [04:22] sacarlson: i can access this by terminal.why i cant by browser and why it shows this error msg? [04:22] it says im already registerd how do i log in [04:22] hi, anyone has tried to install maverick alpha 3 netbook edition?

[04:36] sacarlson: when i use reboot or shut down it not works [04:36] russ5811: That depends, do you allow ssh into your machine? [04:36] ssh is network access correct? [04:37] russ5811: Secure SHell, it's a way to get command line access across a network, yes. [04:37] hemel: you have many options you can make it so you can see it now with chown himel:himel /mnt [04:37] Max, i have this networked with my desktop, another laptop and a NAS device. Would that setup require SSH, and if so am i leaving it open to the web? === shade_ is now known as shade\ [04:38] thtdude94: hard to tell. *cancel* (don't kill window) that upgrade and close out that application. open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install audacity". Hopefully this will show a better error message. [04:38] sacarlson: do i reinstall my ubuntu [04:38] himel: if you want it to work at boot then there must be something wrong in /etc/fstab file pastebin that file [04:39] himel: that's an option if you don't have anything on this system yet.

[06:02] maco: I think the guide itself is wrong [06:02] maco: I checked the man for ln, and it says that the default behavior is to create hard links, not symlinks [06:02] Wingless: may i suggest http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2009/11/links.html [06:02] Wingless: right [06:03] !unetbootin> enav [06:03] enav, please see my private message [06:03] Wingless: but your guide is describing symlinks while saying hardlinks [06:03] Wingless: read my blog explanation instead ;-) [06:03] Wingless: It's not that it's just wrong for Ubuntu, btw. The behavior is the same for all Linuxes I know of [06:04] Wingless: by the way, Ubuntu 8.10 was End of Lifed back in April, so you're not getting security updates any more. I'd recommend upgrading asap. [06:04] I see. well, I'll take a look at your blog entry and see if things make more sense [06:04] as for my ubuntu version...is upgrading ubuntu itself difficult? [06:05] !intrepid | Wingless [06:05] Wingless: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [06:05] Wingless: not particularly. I'll have the infobot send you instructions [06:05] !eol | Wingless [06:05] Wingless: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [06:05] ... or maco will ;P [06:05] Wingless: there's a button you click that does it. but since it's EOL you have to do one step before that [06:05] rww: i am faster than you! === [WhiteKIBA] is now known as WhiteKIBA [06:14] maco: I read your blog post. I didn't find the index example to be very informative, but if you're basically saying that hardlinks point to the data while symlinks point to the file name, which points to the data, then that makes sense. Is a hard link that points to some data any different from the "file name" that the data was originally given? [06:14] Wingless: yes, thats exactly what its saying :) and no, its not any different. its just one piece of data having two names [06:16] okay, so if I make a file by typing "touch foo", I've created what you could call a reference to some data somewhere. If I then create a hard link by typing "ln foo foolink", the new "hardlink" foolink is just another reference that points to the same data -- in other words, both foo and foolink are the same kind of thing (a reference), but foolink is referred to as a hard link simply because it wasn't the first one to be created? [06:16] Wingless: exactly [06:16] ok, cool [06:16] thanks [06:16] and so [06:16] when I type "rm foo" or "rm foolink" I'm only removing that reference, not the data itself [06:17] and so it's natural for foolink to remain if I remove foo, and for foo to remain if I remove foolink [06:17] that makes sense. [06:17] Wingless: yep. fun fact: even if you rm foo and theres no link the data still isnt *really* removed unless you've got your filesystem set to secure mode (at least in the case of ext3/4) [06:18] BTW, I noticed that when I open up my test file foo in gedit by typing "gedit foo", another file of size 0 is created with the name "foo~" in the same directory. it's there after I close Gedit. what's up with that? [06:18] Wingless: it becomes unfindable by normal means but forensics would still work. secure mode overwrites where the data was [06:18] i see [06:18] yeah. I've heard about that for Windows, but I see how that would work on Linux too [06:19] Wingless: some editors make a backup of the original data and then write a new file then move the pointer to point to the new file, that way if theres a crash before write, at least the old data's still there [06:20] yeah but why's gedit gotta clutter up my folders with foo~? is that unavoidable? :/ [06:21] mine deletes the ~ file after you quit [06:21] Wingless: there's an option in preferences to not make backup copies like that [06:21] hmmmmm [06:21] I'm not in GNOME, so I'm not sure where exactly it is. It's right by the autosave one, iirc [06:21] the ~ file is only there while the file is open. [06:21] My gedit seems to leave the files there even after I've closeed it [06:22] booi: 8.10 leaves them there after you close gedit by default [06:22] oh [06:22] that wasn't changed until 10.04 I think [06:22] So you have to change a preference in Gedit itself? [06:22] yup [06:22] rww: ah, i see. [06:22] sounds like emacs. amirite guys? [06:23] dunno, I use nano and mousepad ;P [06:23] yay, i found it. fixed it. no more ~ backups. [06:23] it still does that on 10.04 for me [06:24] but then again, i changed it to make backups ;) [06:24] i have a problem, my network settings ongnome, on my user are screwed up [06:24] how can i fix them or recreate them? [06:25] they didn't reflex my real settings and i have a duplicated eth0! [06:26] i think the gnome|ubuntu network manager is bugged, deeply bugged [06:26] hey all, anyone have a good email software suggestion for outgoing mail on an ubuntu internet server? [06:27] trelayne, Didn't it come with evolution? === jono is now known as Guest85505 [06:27] trelayne, I think Evolution is compatible with exchange as well. [06:28] israfel, I mean for sending out email to subscribers of an email list... [06:28] sendmail type software I mean [06:29] trelayne, Like an auto-mailer? Not sure. I haven't used Evolution either. === Kaie is now known as Guest65905 [06:29] ok thanks israfel [06:29] i prefer thnderbird [06:30] the sibling of firefox [06:31] I was thinking more interms of MTA and MUA [06:31] I mean MDA [06:31] and MTA [06:31] HELLO [06:31] hey guys i get this error with my brother 7420 scanner failed to open device device ' brother2:bus2;dev1' invalid argument === jls is now known as seahag [06:34] can someone help me purge all my sound drivers, as I'm not quite sure what could be installed, and that I want to start fresh before tweaking anything (currently my built in mic don't work, and headset doesn't work right) [06:34] trelayne, Oh, also, most ISPs throttle port 25, to prevent most spambots from doing too much damage. [06:38] Wow, it's actually quiet in here. =) [06:41] What do I do if I can connect to a wireless network but websites won't load? [06:41] Connor1: Can you ping a website? [06:41] is it your network? [06:41] hey guys i get this error with my brother 7420 scanner failed to open device device ' brother2:bus2;dev1' invalid argument [06:41] Connor1: check that DNS works? "host google.com" [06:41] tensorpudding no [06:41] Is the website on your network? [06:41] rezolute no [06:41] tensorpudding no [06:42] Okay, sounds like your DNS is not working. [06:42] heh. well if its not your network, then you're locked out in some way. [06:42] My desktop is fine though [06:42] What kind of errors are you getting? [06:42] Connection timeouts? [06:42] None [06:42] Connor1: check dns resolution [06:42] the website just loads forever [06:42] That usually indicates a timeout. [06:43] try browsing to http://91.189.89.88/ [06:43] err nevermind [06:43] stupid dns making static hostnames hard to find [06:44] If your network is fine, but DNS is down, it should show an error page with Access Denied. [06:46] why why why whyyyyyy ubuntu keeps adding me my existing networks again with new names??? [06:49] hi. im having trouble connecting to wireless networks. it doesnt work intermittently. it keeps asking me the security key but doesnt connect. the security key is fine and works with other non-ubuntu machines. sometimes restarting or disabling / enabling the network seems to make it work [06:49] any ideas? [06:50] ghufran: I had a similar problem before [06:50] find a better driver for your wifi device [06:50] ghufran: it was caused by a kernel installed from a ppa [06:51] ghufran: and the solution was to purge that ppa and everything it installed to revert back to the official (canonical provided) kernel [06:51] hey guys i get this error with my brother 7420 scanner failed to open device device ' brother2:bus2;dev1' invalid argument [06:51] hello,everyone [06:51] i didnt do any such thing hasenj . i just installed it from the online downloaded iso [06:51] iluminator, check permissions on your user [06:51] ewww, Brother scanners. [06:52] I'm trying to use the alternate installer. but i keep getting the error "Failed to determine the codename for the release." [06:53] If I install a program using apt-get (e.g., "sudo apt-get install lynx"), will Synaptic know about it? [06:53] I really need help, because my system is down untill i can get this installed. i assumed it was a problem with uname but it seems ok. [06:53] wingless, yes [06:53] AndroUser: And I can remove the program safely and completely with either apt-get or synaptic? [06:55] it is stored in a central "database" on your system. [06:55] yes. [06:55] as long as ita not something that your system depends on [06:55] I think I'm going to start with a fresh ubuntu install.... [06:56] what do about my GPG key I used with my Launchpad account? [06:56] technically, all if the package managers (synaptic, apt, aptitude, the add programs botton in the menu) are just interfaces to dpkg. [06:57] Thanks, AndroUser [06:57] errr I thought you had replied to m y last question; that wasn't meant to be sarcastic :P [07:00] (AndroUser) i'm using debootstrap (actually ubuntu alternate installer) and its saying 'Failed to determine the releases cosename.' [07:00] how can i remedy this === sshc_ is now known as sshc [07:03] Hello. [07:04] I'm trying to compile a kernel (for VirtualBox use) that disables a lot of kernel-level debugging, and enables my CPUs optimizations. I put most of the SATA controllers into kernel (*) and the ext4, ramfs, and xfs file systems into the kernel. It builds, but when I boot [07:04] it simply complains that it couldn't find the drive. [07:04] any thoughts> [07:04] im using the Ubuntu kernel from the Ubuntu GIT [07:06] Does anyone have any idea why skype for linux (latest version) would have context menus that are unreadable. For example when I right click a contact it is dark grey with black text which is unreadable. Any solutions would be great [07:06] dean[w]: change ubuntu theme [07:06] it's frustrating me as the stock Ubuntu kernel works, and im using the Ubuntu configs [07:07] hey [07:07] im using GRUB2, so the mounts are set by UUID === michael__ is now known as N3VV3K [07:08] anyone noticed that in lucid the windows don't stack the same way as in karmic? when i open four terminals, they don't open up nicely tiled and centered [07:08] mine seem to open nicely [07:09] vemon [07:09] instead i get two terminal windows next to each other to upper left corner of the screen, one in the lower left corner and one in the lower right corner [07:09] N3VV3K, hmh.. i wonder what's wrong with my setup then [07:09] no one here who does kernel builds? [07:09] i get the same behavior with to comuters both running almost-out-of-the-box lucid [07:09] i have a dual monitor setup [07:10] i dont think that would make a difference [07:10] well it shouldn't [07:10] does anyone know how i can have two different backgrounds === nix is now known as Guest81453 [07:11] i figured it out! it's the desktop effects which cause this bad tiling behavior. when i turn effects off, i get nice tiling of windows [07:11] n-iCe, im using stock ubuntu theme [07:11] otherwise the windows seem to open up pretty randomly [07:11] context menus work in all other apps fine [07:11] there must be some setting vemon [07:12] N3VV3K, yes i need to check the settings of compiz [07:12] well [07:12] watching it compile again [07:12] haven't messed around with those in a while, since i've always ended up disabling all effects :) === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [07:12] i'm not confident in it's success though [07:12] im not to familiar with compiling [07:13] well [07:13] the compiling isn't the issue. [07:13] it succeeds in that. [07:13] booting the image is the issue [07:13] im a little higher than an intermediate user but im not advanced yet [07:13] what are you compiling [07:13] Ameise, do you also create an initrd image? [07:13] Linux Kernel, Ubuntu flavor [07:13] yes [07:13] ah, so you compile it from the ubuntu sources? [07:13] when you say compiling what do you mean [07:13] yes [07:13] should be easy enough [07:14] it compiles, GRUB2 sees it [07:14] then it won't boot. [07:14] what does it say? [07:14] im recompiling... let you know the exact error when it's done [07:14] mainly that it couldn't read te drive. [07:14] is it better to compile ubuntu from source rather then using a normal install disk [07:14] it timed out on it [07:14] there were no drives listed in /dev/ [07:15] i had the same problem at work today, but at work I tried compiling from the latest vanilla kernel [07:15] Ameise, that's what my realtime kernel also complains when launched from grub, but it still works [07:15] mine complains, and exit causes a kernel panic. [07:15] no wait... the error was something like "failed to mount none in /dev" [07:15] on this system, quick booting is necessary so I can't have a kernel that requires manual commands to start also [07:16] mine can't find the drive, period [07:16] Hello! is there any way to know where was my Ubuntu installation done? [07:16] at work I use it for actual work, so I need a fast kernel (it'd be nice) [07:16] Ameise, you should compare the grub.cfg listings of a working and non-working kernels [07:16] here, I use it to switch between copying files and testing images. [07:16] i only changed... maybe 7 things [07:16] nothing related directly to files [07:17] file systems/drivers [07:17] any admins on? [07:17] mt [07:17] i disabled kernel debugging, and enabled AMD optimizations [07:17] how can I Know when I installed ubuntu [07:18] n-iCe when you are running it. [07:19] ok im loosing it [07:19] cannot for the life of me get my ssl apache2 server working [07:19] hunterm: when I installed it [07:19] it literally...just doesnt start up... [07:20] i enabled the site with a2ensite..says its there...but when i restart apache it doesnt even try and fire up the second virutal host... [07:20] isnt that like a 1 click process @ grendal_prime [07:20] o nvm [07:20] Linux has to be the most frustrating kernel in existance [07:20] other than maybe minix [07:20] im thinking lamp [07:21] yeah but i love it [07:21] Ameise, i dont know...who cares..not like we dink with the kernel.. [07:21] do you have any idea how many people are developing apps based on that kernel now. [07:21] why not? [07:22] its bound to be confusing. [07:22] hello [07:22] well [07:22] Also, its a KERNEL [07:22] Its meant to be an interface into machine code [07:22] linux is a product of million monkeys syndrome [07:22] andyis incorrect abstraction, but close. [07:22] The kernel is important. [07:22] i could certainly go write an application for Win32 in machine code. [07:22] Well, yeah [07:22] Sorry [07:22] dude...you should do that [07:22] the kernel is the interface between your operating system runtimes and the BIOS [07:23] run allong now and do that. [07:23] im already a systems engineer - why would I want to punish myself and do that? [07:23] But its farther doen than almost anything you will use [07:23] err [07:23] I write kernels and drivers for a living. [07:23] why are you here then...go do it al yourself [07:23] Oh [07:23] in the mean time [07:23] because you normally use a stable, proven system to develop off of [07:23] Well, Leave me and my PDS 3 and PPI ruleset language then [07:24] does anyone use bsd? [07:24] lots of people [07:24] linux/GCC tends to be better at doing system-level work than Win32/VS [07:24] :P [07:24] i would not be one of them. [07:24] is it mostly for server use [07:24] Yay [07:24] :) [07:25] yeah thats right [07:25] livecd [07:25] either way [07:25] Linux doesn't like being compiled. [07:25] you guys can move that discussion to ##linux if you want [07:25] hey, i have a question regarding services that are set to autostart... I have wakeonlan enabled, but that only works if someone logs into the computer after being switched on, and then switched off... I would like the service to start when the computer starts, whether or not someone logs in, any help? [07:26] tensorpudding - that's one of those many IRC channels that I tend to avoid. [07:26] how i share files between ubuntu and my windows machine [07:26] samba [07:26] what is it for: linux-backports-modules-wireless-`uname -r` [07:26] Ameise: maybe an off-topic channel [07:26] garry i think you can use drop box [07:26] garry: Samba if you want the equivalent of Windows File Sharing [07:26] well, my issue is definitely ubuntu-related [07:27] ya that i know i have installed smaba and its gui mode but i am new to it i dont know how to do it [07:27] I'm trying to install powerpc ubuntu on a laptop but when i run it off the cd it fails to login, so i'm stuck at the login screen, what should i do? [07:27] help me === warriorforGod is now known as Guest37667 [07:27] i have installed virtualbox [07:27] do you know how to mount filesystems? [07:27] no [07:27] wait [07:27] are you running Ubuntu in virtualbox? [07:27] on a windows system? [07:27] garry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [07:28] no winodws xp in viraulbox [07:28] oh. [07:28] a wee bit different. [07:28] ya i seen this but i cant understand [07:28] There are easier ways to share files than samba... [07:28] easier to access windows from linux than linux from windows [07:28] if you're using Vbox [07:28] You can have a shared folder [07:28] You need to install Guest Additions for it though [07:28] i have 2 system one is having windows and other is having linux [07:29] dont be such a puss ...buy yourself a filler and be done with it [07:29] hahaha [07:29] how i share file between them [07:29] garry: Read the VirtualBox documentation for shared folders [07:29] install webmin on the linux box and set it up as cifs filler. [07:29] Install the VirtualBox Guest Additions for Windows inside the VM, then configure the shared folders [07:30] you could also just get winscp on the windows box [07:30] any help for my previous question? [07:30] i installed webmin but when i restart webmin it shows me acess deined [07:30] When I double-click a .html file to open it in firefox, not only does the file not open in Firefox, but my system starts acting odd... the mouse hesitates when I move it across the screen, and anything that usually shows a smooth animation also hitches. I figure the html file is being read by something it shouldn't, and it's affecting my system. how do I find out what it's doing and stop it from happening again? === RaNdY is now known as darkchild [07:30] how can i delete old version of kernel that listet on grub [07:30] garry: try samba [07:30] ? [07:30] but if you need a filler you need to set up a samba/cifs server. pretty simple with webmin..alot of things get very easy with that tool.. [07:31] Thopter, try running firefox and the file from a terminal [07:31] its dangerouse but..you can lock it down and make it pretty safe..and its pretty easy to figer out. [07:31] i have samba but i dont know how to share files [07:31] open a terminal and type firefox and file.html where file.html is the file [07:31] There's really no reason to setup Samba for this situation, just use the VirtualBox guest additions... [07:32] garry download webmin on your linx box === darkchild is now known as RaNdY [07:32] ya i downlaoded webmin [07:32] installed it [07:32] install it [07:32] browse to it === Ameise is now known as Ameisen [07:32] what to do nest [07:32] sweb: I think you just cd /boot and delete the one not used or plan on using but not sure you want to do that you may need them someday [07:32] ya i open server [07:32] roccity_: I know how to get the file open in firefox, I'm looking for a way to undo what has happened to my system, short of a reboot. the intefering behaviour continues indefinitely [07:32] look at samba section. [07:33] its pretty intuitive [07:33] create a share...open it to everyone, then browse to the share from the windows box. [07:33] I tried looking in system manager, but I see no programs spiking the cpu [07:33] ya i open it [07:33] garry: it could be as easy as right click in nautilus the dir you want to share [07:34] I am wanting to create a few database tables and populate them (for studying) I have been doing it manually over and over is there a way to script that in mysql or would you recommend a script using say Python or PHP etc? [07:34] hey, i have a question regarding services that are set to autostart... I have wakeonlan enabled, but that only works if someone logs into the computer after being switched on, and then switched off... I would like the service to start when the computer starts, whether or not someone logs in, any help? [07:34] you will have to have the windows box and the host on the same network..in virtual box you will need to set up a host(only) interface [07:34] Thopter, can you see anything in system monitor? [07:35] has anyone fiddled with the samba4 in the repos and made it work? [07:35] adalal, look into /etc/rc.local [07:35] Thopter, does it do it with all html files? [07:35] are there any GUI programs for ubuntu that are able to synchronize remote and local folders through ftp and/or ssh connection ? [07:35] jhattara, look into rsync [07:35] tpmccallum_: I'm not sure what kind of data base you are working on. can you just use a spread sheet like in openoffice? [07:35] grsync [07:36] if you like clicky things grsync [07:36] roccity_: yes, any html file, I've tried several [07:37] roccity_, Gftp is another option. [07:37] but I prefer rsync, it's best for minimal transfer times. [07:38] or zsync that's good too. [07:38] but those aren't GUO driven. [07:38] GUI* [07:38] hello all [07:38] bah, I'm just gonna reboot and try to remember to never double-click a .html file again [07:38] I'm trying to patch a module [07:38] but I can't get it to compile [07:39] rather, it compiles, but appears not to have consistent version info [07:39] Hi, is there some way to change global encoding settings? Every text file I open seems to either have similar to "yp", or in nano it has @a^ before every character. Any ideas? [07:39] a [07:39] hmm [07:39] why is this broken: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ [07:39] so when is a fix for firefox f***ing up going to come? :/ [07:39] there is a link from packages.ubuntu.com [07:39] had same problem for months now [07:39] and the search is broken too [07:41] works fine for a while, then i restart it and it wont start not even in safe mode until i remove the .mozilla folder in ~ .. [07:41] tpmccallum_, whats up? [07:41] thanks grendal_prime [07:42] TimStarling: broken when I look at it too maybe there working on the site [07:43] TimStarling: normaly there are miror sites if you just need the packages [07:44] grendal_prime I am doing a bit of study and am curious about creating database tables on the fly without having to write the mysql commands over and over by hand [07:45] create a loop [07:45] php [07:45] or..just script it in bash [07:45] i would use postgres honestly. [07:45] ok so mysql cant do that in the mysql console [07:45] I have never used postgres [07:46] help [07:46] does grsync just synchronize folders or does it give prompt on what to synchronize ? [07:46] you could...you would just be writing a loop in mysql...some sort of glue language...like..well see thats why i would use postgresql. you can use just about any lang as a procedural lang wit that db server. [07:47] tpmccallum_ maybe look at this http://rubylearning.com/blog/2007/05/14/ruby-mysql-tutorial/ [07:47] tpmccallum_, it kinda depends on the data as well..i mean..does it need to be randomized? [07:47] tpmccallum_ ruby is my scripting tool of choice with all kinds of cool libs [07:48] or...normalized...or [07:48] ruby? [07:48] is there a way to mount any and all HDDs on boot? [07:49] i dont know..kinda new on the scene..Perl..php, bash..they been around a pretty long time...alot of libs for them and..well nice simple lang to. Python before ruby any day..again thats just personal pref though [07:49] perl...well what can yousay...spend a few months learning it you will never use anything else. [07:49] grendal_prime: tpmccallum_ ya ruby is cool but php is cool too. like you said prime depends on what you need to do [07:50] somethinginteres, ya look int /etc/fstab [07:50] learn shell script :P [07:50] awesome thanks all, I already know Python quite well so I might just use that cheers :) [07:50] Also, learn HTML [07:51] It should only take a day if you are familliar with programming languages [07:51] andyis: shell scirpt or bash ruby perl php they all work and they all almost look the same. if you can read one not hard to learn the other [07:52] is there anything i need to do so that autologin doesn't fail when i boot from a ubuntu cd? [07:52] Lol. I'm learning Pascal :P [07:53] Already know a lot of shell script/bash [07:53] And even how to use vim >.< [07:53] erlang (hello mike!) [07:53] andyis: does pascal have these cool libs that keep growing? like ruby or perl? [07:54] It has Skype :P [07:54] andyis: so does ruby [07:54] andyis: I had ruby sms me [07:54] Also it has better variable security than C++ generally. [07:55] somethinginters take a look at using labels for your drives also, this helps identify them if they get removed and refitted. I create labels for external drives and usb sticks etc when I first use them. That way if they are connected they can be mapped to a specific folder by listing them in the /etc/fstab file [07:55] andyis: I'm not a bank I don't need securty I leave that to linux for that [07:55] having a problem with screen res .. have a 24" lcd mon. capable of1920x1080 and can only get full screen at 1680x1050 clips the top and bottom of wall paper [07:55] -.- [07:55] What is "a"+1 then? [07:55] hope I'm in the correct area [07:55] lol you are [07:56] k' [07:56] problem is I only get hdmi sound using ati fglrx driver [07:56] And comparing it to Python, Ruby, PHP, etc isnt really all that great, its far more like C [07:57] andyis: I'm too lazy I want it done in one line that's what ruby can do [07:57] Perl can do that too [07:57] tis the loss of sound that drove me that direction [07:58] any thoughts [07:58] You get no guarantees on how readable that line is though [07:59] either it's not a good question or it's a bad time for help [08:00] grendal_prime: thanks [08:00] robertd: sound like at least you got it working that's more than most can say [08:01] LOL I guess so actually the install went rather easy [08:01] when you guys answer each other do you type the name with a colon or is there a way to reply by clicking etc [08:01] just not the res I want for this editing htpc [08:02] tpmccallum_: in irssi you just type a couple of the first letters of the name and press tab [08:02] somethinginteres, for what? [08:02] used the pop up window asking if I wanted the Propietary driver .. x64 sys [08:02] oh fstab stuff [08:03] and some adjustments [08:03] vemon: HAHA thanks that works awesome [08:04] guess I'll wait for the 10.8 cat and just deal with it for now [08:04] vemon: I am using a firefox plug in called chatzilla but the tab thing also works :) [08:04] tpmccallum_: i guess it's quite a standard way to do it :) [08:04] vemon: ya I never knew that cool, I've been typing the whole thing with the colen, and I've been here for days [08:04] unless there is a clean way to revert to opne sources ...with sound [08:05] hdmi conncetion [08:05] you never stop learning [08:05] is it possible to fix a package on your hdd install from a livecd? [08:06] quit [08:07] bj0: Yes. [08:07] oh well I'll come back when I can parse the question clearer [08:09] hi all [08:10] i have some weird behavior going on after the latest firefox on my ubuntustudio 10.04 box [08:10] it looks like a javascript issue....not positive [08:10] can someone help? [08:11] caddyjoe77: some site not resolving? [08:11] no not at all...DNS is workeing great. When i go to google for instance, the search results get very squished, almost like i may be missing a font package perhaps [08:12] very strange lemme tell ya [08:12] hey, when i 'shut down' my computer, it restarts... any idea? [08:13] i went back to the old firefox, same issue...thats why i think its perhaps a font package or maybe javascript is being interpreted wrong [08:13] could you give a screenshot of what you mean? [08:14] caddyjoe77: and the http page your are looking at [08:14] hey adalal...a workaround can possibly be for you to do sudo init 5 in the terminla which is the command to shut down [08:14] caddyjoe77: thanks... any reason as to why this is happening? [08:14] ciao [08:15] sacarlson: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-9300639326172081%3Ad9bbzbtli15&ie=UTF-8&sa=Search&q=ubuntu+studio&hl=en [08:15] doesnt matter which page...any google results look like that [08:16] i have the error console up...here is the output [08:16] ubuntu studio - Google Search
