[00:00] Robin2: and you are in the live dekstop environment and the drive is not mentioned in your my computer. [00:00] the wirelss router is a westell 7501. the laptop wireless card is Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN, [00:01] MorpheusXNL: That's it exactly. I'm on the desktop with the terminal open, because it doesn't appear. [00:01] tim_: done ? [00:01] DasEi: done. what was wrong with it? [00:01] tim_: http://pastebin.com/vKEd3fC8 [00:01] tim_: outdated version, wrong key [00:02] DasEi: K [00:02] the fact that you do not get any listing of a harddrive or device means that it is so broken that even your computer BIOS doesn't recognize it. Can you check if your machine's does recognize the drive [00:02] tim_: that's one command in one line [00:02] How should I go about that? [00:02] mcphail: looks like complete uninstall/reinstall may have worked [00:02] mcphail: thanks a ton! [00:02] tim_: the paster just divorced it [00:03] DasEi: OK [00:03] DasEi: i am back, but the device still does not show up in my pulse audio volume control [00:03] maquis: good stuff! [00:03] reboot your machine and most of the time you can press a F button to enter setup and look in there for info about your harddrive. what brand of machine do you have [00:03] I have a Dell Studio 15. [00:03] tim_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:03] on dell machine's it is F2 [00:03] tim_: shall throw no more errors now [00:04] DasEi: are we sure the usb device is showing up? could it be a problem with the usb? [00:04] DasEi: thanks for the help! [00:04] Any ideas on how to keep my wifi from dropping? [00:04] if you check that and get back and post the outcome we can look at things further. [00:04] MorpheusXNL: okays, will do. Thank you. [00:05] rebirth: sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer pavucontrol [00:05] MorpheusXNL: on "Device Info", it states "Primary Hard Drive = 320 GB HDD" [00:05] which command I have to use, to know information about my video card? [00:06] ok so it is there according to the machine. [00:06] Attempting to install or load the liveDVD of Ubuntu 10.04 x64 results in a black screen about 3/4 the way into the loading sequence, the monitor declaring it has lost signal from the graphics card, and a complete inability to do much else from that point. Graphics card is an ATI HD5770. Any help? [00:06] phew, so that's something. [00:06] chemical-death, i give your output in pm [00:06] DasEi: done [00:06] my sound isn't working [00:06] Update, my system still tries to boot into a GUI even though I REMOVED the x11-common package. I'm at a loss here. [00:06] Robin2: are you in the live environment again [00:06] No, I can get there. It may take a while though. [00:07] sarthor: yeah [00:07] the sound card has been located but nothing is coming out of the speakers [00:07] annie: sometimes running a continuous ping on the router (or through the router) helps. You might have some luck with compat-wireless (packages are in ubuntu repos): see http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download [00:07] Tello: sudo hwinfo [00:07] rebirth: gnome-alsamixer [00:07] hey guys following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1354191&highlight=dwa-130 i managed to get my dlink drivers installed but so far all i get is my dlink device blinking i still cant enable wireless [00:08] sorry to be a pian but can someone link me to/give me the adress of the ubuntu-offtopic channel? [00:08] pain* [00:08] gimpy253: it gets harder and harder to get rid of X as time goes by [00:08] rebirth : and also under system > preferences > sound, can the usb be selecte now ? [00:08] d* [00:08] has anyone here tried to setup the android remote for ubuntu? [00:08] annie: no knowing the root cause, my suggestions could be off/irrelevant [00:08] Robin2: well if you want to save files that is atm your only shot [00:08] !ot | Edmiund, :) [00:08] Edmiund, :): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:09] mcphail: Installed X to use wiht X11 forwarding only, but now it tries to start on boot , fails, and I can't boot at all. [00:09] Yeah, I'm loading it up. :) [00:09] thune3: no worries... I'm checking your link know... ty [00:09] my sound isn't working [00:09] the sound card has been located but nothing is coming out of the speakers. [00:09] DasEi: not showing up ALSA mixer or sound prefs [00:09] I am using ubuntu on a viao [00:09] any ideas? [00:09] gimpy253: is this from ubuntu-server with no X initially? [00:10] Robin2: so in computer you only see cdrom [00:10] Laptop_fur: install alsamixergui, make sure it's not muted [00:10] When I try to run a VPN connection via network-manager nothing happens. Do I need to do anything special ? [00:10] rebirth : hrrm [00:10] dasei is also already on here? [00:10] or do I have to download it? [00:10] DasEi: are we sure it's not a problem with the usb? [00:10] Robin2: brb 2mins [00:10] MorpheusXNL: I'll let you know when it comes up, there's only one thing there though. I don't remembr the name. Sure. [00:11] mcphail: Yup, Ubuntu-server [00:11] rebirth: you said it worked before, and syslog as hwinfo found an unknown device, can re-check : lsusb [00:11] Laptop_fur, in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key' then turn those controls up to the max [00:11] hmm, what did it do to my kernel: [00:11] Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ... [00:11] update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-22-server [00:11] Laptop_fur: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui [00:12] Laptop_fur: alsamixergui [00:12] why did it change my kernel? is that needed for cryptsetup? [00:12] gimpy253: "ls -l /etc/init/?dm" [00:12] Laptop_fur: the icons abbove pcm and master have to be green (showing speaker-symbols) [00:12] clickable-- [00:12] they are green [00:13] the bars are filled [00:13] shsek: the kernel itself gets updated from time to time, that's normal [00:13] green then whit and red [00:14] DasEi: lsusb - list USB devices? [00:14] thune3: how would I set up the 'ping' thing you stated? I know how to ping, but not how to set one up to keep the conenction active (if that's the problem/solution) [00:14] DasEi, wouldn't it cause issues when a new version of it is out? [00:14] Laptop_fur: it's above the bars , the two little speakers, you can click them [00:14] DasEi, I've just never installed something that did it, seems kinda odd [00:14] They aren't showing [00:14] shsek: no, they are patched or just advanced, won't harm with installed software [00:15] hello [00:15] shsek: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade to get latest score [00:15] I'm having problems making my lan usb adapter [00:15] model wusb54gc v3 [00:15] DasEi, hmm, I suspect what I just installed that did it isn't really needed at all [00:16] should removing it restore the changes? [00:16] on ubuntu 10.04 amd64 [00:16] rebirth: yes, lists usb devices [00:16] yes [00:16] No speaker symbols are showing for me. [00:16] s/restore/revert [00:16] its detected under lsusb [00:16] mcphail: The command "ls -l /etc/init/?dm" says that does not exist. [00:17] did anyone had problems with WUSB54GC v3 ? [00:17] DasEi: as soon as i type that in it displays a list of options [00:17] I followed a tutorial for making an encrypted filesystem and it told me to install initramfs-tools, which I think is only needed if I were trying to make the the root (/) to get mounted from an encrypted partition, which I'm not trying to [00:18] Dasei, the speakers are note showing above the bars. [00:18] gimpy253: don't know what is bringing up X then... You're going to have to plung into /etc/rcwhatever directories and explore [00:18] DasEi: oh i see, ok i got a list [00:18] Robin2: any news [00:19] DasEi: i'm going to compare when i unplug it and see what's missing [00:19] Laptop_fur: http://yfrog.com/i3bildschirmfototp, no such green icons there ? [00:19] MorpheusXNL: a couple more minutes [00:19] rebirth : for that, dmesg | tail is also a good tool === trineox is now known as rootcop [00:20] DasEi: how do i use it? [00:20] rebirth: type it just when re-plugged the usb : dmesg | tail [00:20] nope [00:20] MorpheusXNL: "File System" is the only thing there [00:21] Laptop_fur: so card isn't properly found/set [00:21] ok and if you open up a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l [00:21] DasEi: when i compare the list a device called "Midiman" shows up when the device is plugged in [00:22] you should get a list if not it doesn't have your harddrive [00:22] I used the sysinfo thing to find the card [00:22] nothing happens. [00:22] How do I set the sound card? [00:22] DasEi, - let me tell you whats happened here there were a few of us that all we do is wifi like myself and pure_hate that come in here and help and get insulted by other members or co.s so we quit helping [00:22] i am not sure if you need to put sudo in the live environment type fdisk -l [00:23] and what is the outcome of df -lh [00:23] hiexpo: nick-miss ? [00:23] that goes through File System [00:23] shows size, used, avail, use%, mounted on [00:23] Robin2: all via commandline [00:23] hiexpo: else let's talk in ot in few minutes [00:24] Yeah, it just says it all under where I typed what you said. [00:24] DasEi, ok [00:24] Laptop_fur: sometimes recompiling alsa can fix it, especially on laptops, but can take ~ 15 minutes [00:24] ok do you see hd* and star would be the letter a or b [00:25] Laptop_fur: sudo apt-get install modul-assistant [00:25] ugh I just installed this [00:25] DasEi, you in ot [00:25] hiexpo: yup [00:25] DasEi, ubuntu-ot [00:26] no, only aufs, none, /dev/sr0, /dev/loop0/ none, tmpfs, none, none, none [00:26] Robin2: hmmm [00:26] Reading state information...

[00:27] and fdisk -l gave nothing then i am afraid that it is broken. [00:27] -l is L [00:27] yeah [00:27] can u guys help me out i cant get my dlink dwa-130 to give me wireless [00:27] Okays, so there's no way back? [00:27] Attempting to install or load the liveDVD of Ubuntu 10.04 x64 results in a black screen about 3/4 the way into the loading sequence, the monitor declaring it has lost signal from the graphics card, and a complete inability to do much else from that point. Graphics card is an ATI HD5770. Any help? [00:27] Robin2:wait type sudo su [00:27] done [00:27] Laptop_fur: module-assistant prepare [00:27] and then fdisk -l [00:28] does it give you anything [00:28] nope [00:28] Laptop_fur: aptitude -t experimental install alsa-source [00:28] Laptop_fur: say if errors thrown [00:28] iggy_: try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/wireless-usb-device-dwa-130-on-ubuntu-583189/ [00:28] Whats your honest OP on ubuntu server? [00:29] ok [00:29] it is installing [00:29] ok now what do I do? [00:29] then it is not there and the system doesn't recognize it. it means 1. it is broken or 2.ubuntu can't handle the disk. but in my office i have a lot of dell machines running ubuntu. so i think you should bring your drive to a recovery company and maybe they can get your data [00:30] DasEi: so it looks like the usb device is being seen in some regard, do you have any other ideas or is this a deadend? [00:30] Yeah, if that's the only option, perhaps it's best to go without, and start again. [00:30] ive got the driver installed with ndiswrapper but the dlink adapter is just blinking and i caant enable wireless [00:30] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/mounting-a-windows-xp-ntfs-partition-in-linux/ [00:30] Howdy folks, anyone know where the gnome startup script is located; the ~/.fluxbox /startup equivalent... [00:30] or cpnnect my browser without ethernet [00:30] Robin2: read the link than you will see what i mean by the fdisk command [00:31] rebirth: for sure no deadend, as you said it worked before, maybe you should also try to recompile alsa, as I just tell Laptop_fu* [00:31] Can someone help me set up 5.1 sound with my desktop running 10.04? [00:31] yeah, I understand. [00:31] Robin2: sorry [00:31] nesto1000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting Have you seen that? I've found it helpful in the past. [00:31] I'll check it out mek||malloc [00:32] well all i am off too bed. Robin2 good luck with your drive. bey all [00:32] iggy_: what version of ubuntu? === dani is now known as Guest29490 [00:32] thanks. :) [00:32] 10.04 [00:32] does anyone know where PC/OS is supported? [00:32] Robin2: your welcome [00:32] dasei what do I do after the module assistant installed? [00:32] Btw mek||malloc it's integrated sound... so yea... [00:33] chemical-death 10.04 [00:33] Laptop_fur: sudo aptitude -t experimental install alsa-source [00:33] nesto1000: Might still be a problem with your alsamixer. [00:33] Laptop_fur:sudo module-assistant prepare , first .. [00:33] hi [00:33] Hi all, did someone experiment with the Eucalyptus Virtualisation Solution? [00:33] DasEi: sorry, do i need to install a package to do so? [00:33] Laptop_fur: sudo aptitude -t experimental install alsa-source , second [00:34] Is the gnome startup script located somewhere in ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd, ~/.gnome2? [00:34] Thund3rX: some of my R&D guys here at my company have. what's up [00:34] rebirth : sudo apt-get install module-assistant [00:34] Attempting to install or load the liveDVD of Ubuntu 10.04 x64 results in a black screen about 3/4 the way into the loading sequence, the monitor declaring it has lost signal from the graphics card, and a complete inability to do much else from that point. Graphics card is an ATI HD5770. Any help? [00:34] A quick question to anyone else that can help. Ubuntu can't find my HDD, the BIOS knows that it's there though. Anyone have ideas on how to get the data? [00:34] Hmmm... mek||malloc that site didn't help me [00:34] I was just wondering if it orchestrates well VMWare Nodes as well as the Xen VMs it supports out of the box [00:35] anyone know how i can test to see if a repo key has been imported? [00:35] iggy_: did you choose the right version of the driver? x64 or x86...the correct revision? [00:35] i used xp from the disk [00:35] I get the sound to work, but not the 5.1 analog sound tho.... [00:35] i checked if config [00:35] and seen 72 errors [00:35] Thund3rX: it doesn't support Xen out of the box, only kvm. That is one major issue the dev guys here are working on. [00:35] I only get 2.0 sound i guess mek||malloc [00:35] rx tx packets [00:35] fuentesjr: if you use "aptitude update" in terminal without errors it will work [00:36] Sorry hike, you are right [00:36] nesto1000: After a bit of reading, might I suggest http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/the-simple-way-to-get-51-surround-sound-audio-working-in-ubuntu/ [00:36] haw can i set up remote control to ask for user name and password [00:36] it was under local loopback [00:36] ok [00:36] done [00:36] now what? [00:37] chemical-death: i'm trying to write a bash script that tests to see if the key has been imported [00:37] Guest29490, use something like freenx [00:37] How about proprietary VMWare technology, some people say that it works but I was wondering how Canonical will present this to the users [00:37] iwconfig gave no errors but says i have no access point assosiated [00:37] Thund3rX: hmm, yea good question. [00:37] fuentesjr: sorry i didn't get it. [00:37] i have a dwa-125 wireless usb has the rt2870 chipset....cant find that drive in ubuntu repo [00:38] apt-key export 'Foo String' returns gpg: WARNING: nothing exported but the return code is still 0 as oppose to non-zero [00:38] Hi again, this is my fingerprint device 60Y4134, how to get driver for this device [00:38] DasEi: should i run sudo module-assistant prepare? [00:38] hi, my lenovo laptop just dies on bootup, including recovery mode, any help ? [00:38] alsomixer has been installed ...again [00:38] What do I do now? [00:39] fuentesjr, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys xxxxxxx , should work [00:39] rebirth: yes [00:39] Since we want the developers to provision to them self VMs for testing purposes while leveraging the existing VMWare Shared Infrastructure. Off course introducing KVM GTechnology would do the trick but once again, it will be difficult to get the required approvals for that. [00:39] mek||malloc, I'm not much of an expert with ubuntu.... so i dont get what to do... also that article featured a sound card while i have integrated sound [00:39] nesto1000: Have you attempted to mess with your alsamixer at all [00:39] what happens if two pc's have the same mac address? [00:40] iggy_: does it see any networks but your can't connect or does it work not a bit [00:40] nesto1000: There should be a channel for controlling the surround feature, if that helps. [00:40] does anyone know where PC/OS is supported? [00:40] Thund3rX: thats exactly whats happening at my company. =) [00:40] * Laptop_fur wonders if somebody can teamview him [00:41] whats alsamixer? if thats the thing on top of the tool bar... then yes i have mek||malloc [00:41] FloridaGuy: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=2228.0 shows someone getting DWA-130 working using Ndiswrapper.

[00:55] opzij, please don't troll, pc-os has nothing to do [00:55] Does the sound bar beep when you set it? [00:55] agoole - that is correct. [00:55] bichonfrise74: have you installed ubuntu already? [00:55] agoole - yes, [00:56] Oer, with what knowledge do you say that? [00:56] agoole - windows and ubuntu are running side by side.

So what symptoms exactly are you encountering. Does the machine boot from the HDD? [00:57] no speakers [00:57] bichonfrise74: then I would just clean the drive, defrag and whatnot, and resize it, [00:57] agoole - Initially I just wanted to test ubuntu... but now I am loving it very much that I want to use it more. [00:57] bichonfrise74: though its dangerous, keep in mind [00:58] Oer, 1) #pc-linux, doesn't exist, 2) PC/OS and PClinuxOS are two separate things 3) your comments are not helpful [00:58] bichonfrise74: if you just need space, I would suggest simply mounting the other partition. [00:58] agoole - thanks [00:58] agoole - what do you mean mounting the other partition? [00:58] mek||malloc: boots, but then screen goes black [00:58] agoole - maybe that is just want I need? [00:58] mek||malloc: even in recovery. [00:58] bichonfrise74: yup, you just want access to the windows-side of the spare hd space, so don't resize ubuntu and windows [00:59] hey all just installed a 802.11g wlan card how do I find drivers for it?

[01:35] some people just need to check email, web browse, etc... and they shouldnt have problems. others need to do HD video editing, and then... well, Ubuntu Studio exists, but i dont know what apps to use :P [01:35] I'm on BusyBox's built-in shell, ash, from the Ubuntu Server installion disk [01:35] shsek: try it with the correct live cd of your version you have installed. it would make it easier [01:36] shsek: a standard live environment would make that easier, you neither have a disk around or a working os to burn one ( or use a usb-stick , if the box supports booting it) [01:36] maco: errrm like me who needs to hook up a wireless internet USB card to his laptop WUSB100 Linksys [01:36] Just_Drnknoask: Vista is more like a dog with rabies, pls. [01:36] DasEi, I'm on a laptop without a CD burner, and don't have any usb flash disk I can use :S [01:36] maco: and no one has been able to get it work :( [01:36] heheh. BASH: a description of what Windows users do to their keyboards when trying to navigate with it. [01:37] ok th0r i am getting the same error, what showed you it was an error with like 20 and 282? [01:37] maco: This card is my Cheta and he is not going to run away! [01:37] shsek: and the installed ubuntu does what at bootup ? [01:37] Just_Drnknoask: like i said "depending on hardware support" ... USB is very hit-or-miss. built-ins are better supported (more testers --> more bug reports --> more fixes) [01:37] Niglop: not an error, duplication of definitions. It appears the table beginning at line 282 is a duplicate of the table at line 20 [01:38] what does permission denied mean? [01:38] DasEi, I installed initramfs-tools, it made some kernel changes (http://pastie.org/1087245.txt?key=tcpk0140qpqvpqmagohww). Than I realized I don't actually need it, and removed it, which displayed some errors (that I don't have). Now, after a restart, I'm getting "Error 15: file not found. Press any key to continue...". When I do press a key I get the boot menu, and every option causes the same error (other than memtest of course) [01:38] th0r» there is no line 282 :s [01:38] "the computer says no" [01:38] laptop_fur: on which command ? [01:38] it goes up to 262 th0r [01:38] /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz [01:38] maco: but I do not need such a laptop for Ubuntu... [01:38] laptop_fur: thats not an executable file [01:38] Niglop: there is in the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/476422/ [01:38] ugh [01:38] laptop_fur: thats a text file. you read it... [01:38] DasEi, seems like its installed by default, and by removing it I caused some issues [01:39] laptop_fur: zless /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz [01:39] it's a read only gzip file, you need to unzip it somewhere else . or do what he said :) [01:39] maco: ? .gz is like .zip? Use 7zip and extract? [01:39] Just_Drnknoask: id give a live cd of 10.10 Alpha 3 a try. it has a newer kernel, so hardware support should be improved [01:39] shsek: ic, so need an updategrub and maybe initramfs, really, this needs a live environment or hook up the hd to another box [01:39] the whole /usr dir's are readonly [01:39] oh th0r i think that one repeats itself.. i must have accidently pasted it twice, but i fixed that it only shows once now. [01:39] th0r» what is the problem on line 20? [01:39] Niglop: the one I am looking at goes to line 525 [01:39] Just_Drnknoask: yes it is like zip, but zless is a program for reading compressed data without having to unzip/gunzip/bz2unzip it first [01:39] unless you sudo / or log in as root [01:40] neil_d: according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/588306 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1506450 , installing package openoffice.org (not installed by default) will fix the problem [01:40] Niglop: if you deleted the table at line 282 then there is no problem at line 20. But I do have a question about your definitions of 'time' [01:40] DasEi, will on old Ubuntu Desktop install CD help or I need the current/a recent version? [01:40] Just_Drnknoask: if 10.10 doesnt have support for it yet, there's still 2 months to get it fixed before 10.10 is released. definitely file a bug report [01:40] ok th0r [01:40] Why if usb modem i plug, the usb storage can't mount? [01:40] I configure the usb modem on udev.... [01:40] test [01:40] maco: you answered my question before I asked [01:41] shsek: an older version can help, but as it's grub 2 .. how old ? [01:41] sorry [01:41] maco: any suggestions of any cards we know alread work with 10.04? [01:41] shsek: An old CD will work fine as long as it supports ext. [01:41] DasEi, someone here told my the error I got ("Erro 18: ...") is implying I'm using grub-legacy [01:41] Niglop: according to the lua script the arg is whatever you are calling in the config, but the arguments you use in the config (%A, %B,etc) aren't all defined in the lua script. But remember...I haven't actually worked with the circular meters in conky or the lua script myself [01:41] shsek: *ext4 [01:41] Jordan_U, why 4? I don't think I'm using ext4 [01:41] Hi there - I'm trying to do an .htaccess mod_rewrite to SILENTLY send people from http://myBlog.com/test/ (a non existing directory) to http://myBlog.com/aPermalink (a permalink on Wordpress that would normally work if accessed directly), but it seems that my redirect is OVERRIDING the WordPress permalink, and instead trying to access http://myBlog.com/aPermalink as if it were a real directory. see: http://pastebin.com/ixVXhgGe [01:42] Just_Drnknoask: this is my usual reference http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_hostif.php?hostif=USB [01:42] hmm, do you know what could case that error message th0r [01:42] * shsek goes looking for some Ubuntu Desktop CD [01:42] thune3: thanks for that I am installing now! I will let you know if it works. [01:42] shsek: so is there any live cd around you can boot ? so least we cann pull down the if and whens ? [01:42] neil_d: please do [01:42] maco: if I call Lynksys they would say they do not support Ubuntu right? [01:42] shsek: All that's needed is a live environment that can mount your root and /boot filesystems. [01:42] shsek: and waht a system you're talking off from now ? [01:42] can I delete the entire contents of /tmp safely? [01:42] Niglop: I think it is a result of calling {time %A, %d %B %Y} without telling the lua script what those parameters are [01:42] ugh [01:43] Just_Drnknoask: keep in mind, most shops will let you return something if it doesnt work with linux, so you can try anything green on that list and if it turns out not to work you can return it [01:43] so it looks like 10.04 Netbook edition has compositing disabled? I can't change any options in "Visual Effects" in the Appearances prefs - is there some way to enable compositing? my machine handles it fine in Windows [01:43] laptop_fur: I feel your pain!!! [01:43] how can I tell it th0r [01:43] Just_Drnknoask: and if something green doesnt work, email the person who keeps that list so they know to correct it [01:43] maco: E-mail person on list? [01:43] dosnt matter its already empty [01:43] Just_Drnknoask: the webpage i linked [01:44] DasEi, just found some old Ubuntu 7.04 (Desktop) CD, and I didn't quite understand the second question [01:44] Just_Drnknoask: there's a person who keeps track of linux support for every model and revision of wireless card he or she comes across [01:44] Just_Drnknoask: they provide their email address on there for corrections to be sent in [01:44] Niglop: I think you have to define a 'time' element in the settings table that tells lua how to draw {time %A, %d %B %Y} [01:44] I hate it when help documents do not explain what to do [01:44] maco: KK I will do, Walmart is geting thi card back an do not even know why I bought from Walmart....which company...Boradband or etc....would you suggest? [01:44] shsek: so boot it and come back in here, so we can find some answers about your system [01:45] DasEi: i never got to a UI, i copied down everything it said. http://pastebin.com/yUTAcSUr [01:45] ok thanks th0r [01:45] shsek: second was, what a kinda os are you currently talking from ? [01:45] I have no idea what that file is and how it is supposed to help me [01:45] Just_Drnknoask: check the page... and hmm lemme try phoning a friend who has a USB card that works [01:45] Niglop: it would start with name='time' and arg='%A, %d %B %Y' [01:45] laptop_fur: Half of this adventure in Linux is development and figuring out...which is the reason I did not just return this card [01:45] maco: thanks [01:45] Niglop: or you might define a separate entity for each of those args one at a time [01:45] rebirth : back on desktop now ? [01:46] I am not familier with lua th0r :( [01:46] I just put ''time' and arg='%A, %d %B %Y' in the script? [01:46] DasEi: hmm? what do you mean? [01:46] DasEi, currently I'm on my laptop, running, unfortunately, Windows [01:46] DasEi, the other machine with Ubuntu is my server [01:46] Codec: Realtek ALC262 [01:46] Codec: Conexant ID 2c06 [01:46] wtf [01:46] DasEi: this is the same computer, i typed all that into my ipod and emailed it to myself [01:46] Just_Drnknoask: that friend's not answering phone right now, sorry [01:46] now it says the sound card is realtek [01:47] shsek: which is another box and has this grub error, k [01:47] laptop_fur@!!! WAIT!!! He have th same prob [01:47] ? [01:47] laptop_fur: My card is made Realtek...whatever makes me work will make you work!! [01:47] cool [01:47] shsek: so boot live cd in server [01:47] Niglop: each entity in the settings table tells conky how to draw a circular 'gauge'. The problem I think is that you are trying to draw something you haven't defined yet...a gauge for {time %A, %d %B %Y} [01:47] Just_Drnknoask: thats not how it works [01:47] hmm, I wonder if I can open bash from inside of Gnome without a mouse [01:48] I am sick of the mosquito [01:48] maco:??? Realtek!!!! [01:48] Just_Drnknoask: realtek is one of a dozen companies making tons of codecs each [01:48] Hey all... I have this strange feeling that all applicatoins on my machine are leaking memory [01:48] oh i see thanks t0r [01:48] DasEi, yeah, its booting, but I just realized this machine has no mouse, I wonder if I can manage without it [01:48] Just_Drnknoask: can you run lsusb and paste me the out to a pm or pastebin [01:48] Ohh :( [01:48] anybody has experiences with http://blog.wpkg.org/2009/04/23/cipher-benchmark-for-dm-crypt-luks/ ... http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127532188803414&w=4 ? please pm me! [01:48] Niglop: but I am not a lua programmer by any means...so this is just a starting point [01:48] Sorry again Lap: [01:48] DasEi: more info: i actaully am getting sound out of my speakers, i can hear youtube video, but no sound from amarok [01:49] shsek: alt + F2 should bring up a Run menu and you can type in any application you wish to run. [01:49] rebirth: ah, getting warmer.. [01:49] DasEi, okay - gnome-terminal is open [01:49] Maco: hey I need to give this a break, call your contact when you can, I will try to catch you tomorrow. I am going to return this WUSB100 and give up [01:49] DasEi: but not sound through the ozone at all [01:49] according to Top: Clock-applet is using 402mb of memory.. that's not right [01:49] DasEi, should I start by mounting my root to the livecd env? [01:49] Maco: Then get a suggestion on what to run on this dell [01:49] and Xorg is using 800mb [01:50] shsek: see above, can type gnome-terminal there to launch a shell [01:50] Just_Drnknoask: ok.i left him a message in PM so will see when he answers [01:50] Lap: I wish you the best of luck [01:50] shsek: no, we will do later, but can, won't harm [01:50] Maco: it is late PM here so [01:50] rebirth :open terminal .. [01:51] Bye everyone [01:51] Hi need help to get international fonts display on gnome, after a fresh reinstall of gnome [01:51] Just_Drnknoask: by PM i meant private message, not evening ;-) [01:51] DasEi: ok [01:51] rebirth :gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [01:51] actually, i'll be back [01:51] Just_Drnknoask: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/350695 check the end of hte this post if it matches your card, there is a fix [01:51] btw will logitec cams work on ubuntu?

Ohhh I see big PINK Dots and MONEY!!! ohhh bye everyone....beers for everyone!!!!!!!!!! [01:52] DasEi, okay, what should I do than?

[01:59] thune3: That seems to be working now! A warning about something not installed would have been nice. [01:59] i need to change that [01:59] shsek: sudo fdisk -l , paste the output [01:59] How long does it take Debian Live Magic to build netboot system in Ubuntu? [02:00] fahd: the default LINUX image that is booted, or are you talking about something else? [02:00] rebirth: fine, save n quit gedit [02:00] rebirth: sudo update-grub [02:00] Attempting to install or load the liveDVD of Ubuntu 10.04 x64 results in a black screen about 3/4 the way into the loading sequence, the monitor declaring it has lost signal from the graphics card, and a complete inability to do much else from that point. Graphics card is an ATI HD5770. Any help? At all? :C [02:00] I ask because it is been going on for about 27 hours now [02:00] DasEi, any idea how I could do that from command line? [02:00] there should be some fdisk -l | pastebin thingy that outputs the URL [02:00] ianwizard: yes, i ask about how to change grub IMAGE(pict) [02:00] DasEi: done [02:01] ianwizard:the default one is only black right? [02:01] rebirth: at next reboot, when grub starts loading, press left shift, choose second entry (recovery mode) to get to that init 1 GUI (dpkg and netroort/ root there) [02:01] fahd: oooooohhhhhh, I thought you meant something else. you're talking about the image behind the grub boot menu, right? [02:01] rebirth: sudo reboot [02:01] ianwizard: yes. :D [02:01] DasEi, I can tell you what I have there, it'll be easier for me - /dev/sda1-/dev/sda3 is my external hard-drive three ext3 partitions, which the live-cd mounted automatically [02:02] Dunas: I believe the LiveCD has quite a few optional parameters you could try.. like vesa mode. [02:02] shsek: can just call pastebin.com in browser and copy from terminal to it [02:02] fahd: the default is none at all, and you computer monitor is black. I don't know how to change it, but you could probably find it on google [02:02] DasEi: and then enter "service gdm restart"? [02:02] shsek: ah, no mouse [02:02] DasEi, I don't have a mouse :\ [02:02] yeah [02:02] fahd: start with something like "grub background image" [02:02] rebirth: first dpkg, then from cmd line service.... [02:02] DasEi, /dev/hdc1, /dev/hdc2 and /dev/hdc5 (3 and 4 are missing) is my internal hard-drive with ubuntu on it, /dev/hdc1 is 'Linux LVM', /dev/hdc2 is 'Extended' and /dev/hdc5 is 'Linux' [02:03] ianwizard: i have been searching it and i found it. but i dont know how to change permission to copy .jpg file to bootloader folder? [02:03] which is odd, as this hard drive is named "/dev/sdaX" usually [02:03] Dunas: the standard way around this i believe (without googling around) will be to use the alternate CD to do the install [02:03] rebirth: if apt won't connect in dpkg, then call netroot one time, go back to miniGUI by entering exit, then update completly, then start gdm [02:04] What command should I use to change to owner on all of the folders, and files in my home dir (to my username, rather than root) I've been using chmod -R username /home/username but that doesn't seem to be working now. [02:04] fahd: use sudo [02:04] DasEi: a little confused but i'll see what i can do [02:04] ianwizard:not working :( [02:04] fahd: sudo cp image.jpg /boot/grub/image.jpg [02:04] its a system file [02:04] Dunas: i'm also quite sure there are graphics options on the boot menu ? [02:05] okay thanks @ianwizard :) [02:05] fahd: try doing sudo su, and then copying it. [02:05] shsek: so hdc1 will be your root [02:05] sometimes it makes a differance, I've got to go now though. [02:05] goodluck [02:05] shsek: mount is hdc1 already mounted ? [02:05] bye all [02:06] Still having trouble with 10.04. How do I get into the GRUB menu at boot? I have already tried left shift and enter as previously told, still does not work. [02:06] DasEi, nope, Ubuntu didn't mount it automatically (it did mount /dev/sdaX) and I get "unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'" when I try to manually do it [02:07] shsek: sudo mkdir /media/hdc1 [02:07] shsek: sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /media/hdc1 [02:07] DasEi: ok here i go [02:07] gimpy253: i have had some desktpp machines that have issues with GRUB and USB keyboards. basically i had to use a PS2 keyboard. or make sure the Legacy USB item in the bios was enabled. [02:07] shsek: cd /media/hdc1 [02:07] rebirth: worked ? [02:07] Dr_Willis: It's PS/2 [02:07] gimpy253: shift should show the menu. or esc. I always set the grub config to always show the menu item. [02:07] shsek: ls , your filesystem there ? [02:08] Dr_Willis: How do I set up GRUB2 to do this? What needs changed in /etc/default/grub? [02:08] DasEi, I alreay tried that, I'm getting "unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'" [02:08] Check the grub2 docs/wiki page. it tells you what to change in /etc/default/grub [02:08] !grub2 | gimpy253 [02:08] gimpy253: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:09] shsek: so not correct info from fdisk -l then.. idk if 7.04 has pastebinit on live repo: [02:09] shsek: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [02:09] shsek: finding it ?

[02:10] hi, I was using 64bit flash on ubuntu but then adobe scrapped support for it. What are the alternatives to running an older vulnerable 64bit flash? [02:10] Hey Everyone, How do I find out if my filesystem has 'no exec' on it? Is there a command or something to see that? [02:10] DasEi: it doesn't really show me anything ecept the ubuntu-studio loading screen [02:11] i found it best to just hold shift once the bios screen showed till i got a grub menu. [02:11] DasEi, I can't install curl tho, I ran apt-get update and I still get 404 errors when trying to install it [02:11] alright i'll try again just holding down shift the whole time [02:11] rebirth: that's too late, it has to be done once the bios is finished [02:11] ok [02:11] biodegabriel: check the mount command and what it says about the filesystem in question [02:12] rebirth: don't hold it, just tap it few times [02:12] rebirth you hit the shift key BEFOR you would see that loading screen [02:12] Dr_Willis THX [02:12] Dr_Willis: already out [02:12] I wonder if theres a brainstorm suggestion to NOT have grub auto hide.. it just causes to many problems.. [02:13] (rebir..) [02:13] is there a way to enable vsync in open source ati driver for xv output?? Without vsync videos are unwatchable, because of tearing. It's the last thing that doesnt work for me in ubuntu. [02:13] Dr_Willis, doing so will cause longer boot time [02:13] Hi, I've looked in system>monitors but the only refresh rate i can choose is 60hz. How can I choose a higher refresh rate? The reason why i wanna do that is because for some awkward reason green spots appear on my screen if the refresh rate is not above 60 (the green spots do not appear on windows xp) [02:13] japa_: if using compiz theres a 'vsync' option for compiz i found that elimintated tearing for me. [02:13] Dr_Willis: hmm, or a 3 second grubscreen.. we altered grub before, already [02:13] it's the kind of things that start happening when you claim a 10 second boot and can't produce :P [02:13] DasEi, what should I do, than? [02:13] shsek: a whole 1 sec or perhaps 3 .. woopiee. :) [02:14] Dr_Willis: where i can find that option?? [02:14] japa_: its in the CCSM tool settiongs somewhere.. i forget where. i always have tos easrch for it. [02:14] * Iceman_B throws KE1HA a beer [02:14] shsek: I wonder if should ssh in ... how does this server connect to the inet ? [02:14] :-) [02:15] inet=internet or some term I don't know?

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [02:15] shsek: inet is internet [02:15] japa_: compisconfiog-settings-manager 'ccsm' [02:15] Dr_Willis: ok thank you very much for answer [02:15] DasEi, it does have internet connection, I got "404 not found" from apt-get install, which mean it is connecting to somewhere that returns it [02:16] shsek: just a modem or a firewalled router ? [02:16] DasEi, port 22 is already being forwareded to that machine [02:17] shsek: I'll pm you [02:17] I'm connecting to it via SSH from outside the internal network [02:17] ok n00b question - I just installed Xubuntu and I want to access my Windows PC's shared files, over the network. how do I do this? The Windows PC has been sharing files for quite a while to the other PCs on my home network [02:18] Zvezda: click on Places > Network. you should be able to find them in the windows network [02:18] Places>>Network, does the share show up there? [02:18] I clicked places, I don't see "Network" [02:19] 4th from the bottom ? [02:19] not there [02:19] There's the first hurdle [02:19] :-( what do I do? === RichardG is now known as RichardG[away] [02:21] what should I do? [02:21] xubuntu dosent use the same stuff as Gnome/ubuntu does. [02:21] Zvezda: System > Administration > Package Manager - search for smbclient see if it's installed [02:21] see the #xubuntu channel perhaps? [02:22] Zvezda: theres various other 'access/mount window sshares' tools and methods one can use. You can mount the shares via the command line if you really wanted to. [02:22] Zvezda, Oh, Xubuntu, yea, I dont think the network browser is installed by default, my bad. [02:22] Dr_Willis: the network icon in places is there by default no ? [02:22] smbclient package will be needed in asny case [02:22] bofh88 its installed [02:22] bofh80: i dont use xubuntu - i found it lacking... I dont know if its file manager has teh feature or not. [02:23] I use Xubuntu [02:23] Hi guys! [02:23] Hi, I've looked in system>monitors but the only refresh rate i can choose is 60hz. How can I choose a higher refresh rate? The reason why i wanna do that is because for some awkward reason green spots appear on my screen if the refresh rate is not above 60 (the green spots do not appear on windows xp) [02:23] cuz my PC is older [02:23] so what should I do now? the SMBClient is there [02:23] Zvezda, Here ya go, try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131 [02:23] Zvezda: and what are its specs? ive ran ubuntu on rather low end machines just fine. [02:23] I need some help getting my ubuntu to install when you guys have the time [02:23] Zvezda: I would ask in #xubuntu - there may be a trivial way of doing it.. Or read up and mouint the shares by hand. === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke [02:24] Zvezda: the other way is type into the address bar in nautilus smb:///servername/share i think that's the right syntax [02:24] DasEi: i ran dpkg, then i went into netroot and typed "service gdm restart" but it gave me a command not found [02:24] is there a log of GUI events? [02:24] bofh80, that will let you see the files, but not write or manage the directory [02:24] bofh80: hes using XUBUNTU - that dosent have nautilus :) [02:24] yeah [02:25] I'm confused [02:25] rebirth: just gdm will do [02:25] this guide isn't much help either, cuz I don't have the stuff it says [02:25] Zvezda, you dont have a network browser. [02:25] doh :) X < lol. [02:25] Zvezda: you need to learn what xubuntu's default file manager has for that samba feature. Thats the whole issue. the doccs and guiodes are normally for UIbuntu. [02:25] lol [02:25] lucitu: just type "gdm"? [02:26] Zvezda, Plan-B = Install Ubuntu :-) [02:26] Hello! I'm getting this message "-bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied" How do I specify another interpreter? If anyone could give me a simple example, that would be great.

[02:26] ANyone here able to answer a question about my linux failing to initiate install [02:26] Tomwa: If it's a kernel problem, the #linux channel would be a good bet. [02:27] KE1HA: i can do everything that way, adding mounts to etc/fstab for these kinds of shares is a bad idea, i found these methods to it quickly [02:27] tem alguem q fala portugues [02:27] Tomwa: state the problem/question and see who can answer. [02:27] Tomwa: But if the question has to do with an ubuntu distribution and you have a general idea what went wrong...

I have been unable to share my network connection to my Roku set-top box. The forums have been basically useless. Can anyone please help me? [02:28] oi [02:28] rebirth: back but still no ozone [02:28] The problem is after I choose "Install Ubuntu" or "Try Ubuntu" from the boot menu (I've tried booting from USB and CD and DVD) the screen goes black and my monitor hibernates. I assume it has a to do with video drivers? [02:28] bofh80, you said the Magic Word, Nautilus, it can network browse. [02:28] how can i get aim for ubuntu? [02:28] my fresh install of ubuntu server with openssh is denying me permission to write to any folder (sftp) but i can gain commandline access through ssh. how can i get access to write to my /var/www? [02:28] Zvezda: for xubuntu specific you can try #xubuntu and there isn't really a big diference between resources usage from ubuntu gnome, you might want to try !lubuntu [02:28] *anyone* is there a log of GUI events? [02:29] chai0: Access it as a sudo user? [02:29] chai0: sudo emacs -nw /var/www/file-to-write.html [02:30] Hello [02:30] i need some serious ubuntu help [02:30] with grub [02:30] KE1HA: yeah, having a share go down and the system become unresponsive because it's /etc/fstab mount is annoying as hell (reminds me of nt4) this my reluctant easy method [02:30] can anyone help me [02:30] AshWatson: Did you try #grub ? [02:30] Easy method = Ubuntu :-) [02:30] oh erm didnt even know about that channel [02:31] KE1HA: works in debian with autofs installed too . [02:31] AshWatson: Ubuntu is a distribution, grub is a bootloader. I bet they know more than we do... Though you're welcome to ask here :o) === janice is now known as loverlyredhead [02:31] After I choose "Install Ubuntu" or "Try Ubuntu" from the boot menu (I've tried booting from USB and CD and DVD) the screen goes black and my monitor hibernates. [02:31] DasEi: should i try entering "gdm" in netroot? [02:31] *anyone* is there a log of GUI events? [02:31] Aeronius: There is an x error log [02:31] Tomwa: and your video card/chipset is what exactly? [02:32] rebirth: sudo reboot will do, too [02:32] Aeronius: ~/.xsession-errors [02:32] Dr Willis: I have an ATI 5870 [02:32] Tomwa, lots of possible reason fer that at the moment. Try using the ALT-ISO for initial install. === cswanson is now known as sldegenbob [02:32] DasEi: sorry, what's the next step? [02:32] hi, I've been having this big problem for two months now. I have been unable to share my network connection to my Roku set-top box. The forums have been basically useless. Can anyone please help me? [02:32] Ok, I was able to get GRUB to show me the menu and boot into recovery mode, but it still fails to boot. It stops at the "ureadahead-other" part. If I hit esc or del it switches to a screen which says Ubuntu and has four dots under it that change color. Does this mean it is still trying to boot a GUI even in recovery mode? [02:32] mekllmalloc: emacs isn't found. is there a way to chmod it? i know that changes permissions, but i have no idea how to use it [02:33] hmmm [02:33] chai0: Use whatever editor you want. Emacs is just my editor of choice. If you have little experience with GNU Linux, I'd suggest just using nano [02:33] chai0: sudo nano /var/www/create-this-file.html [02:33] chai0, you need to sort out why you can't ssh. Is this your own server or a hosted server ? [02:33] is there anyway to upgrade my Xubuntu into Ubuntu without burning a CD again? [02:33] mek||malloc: OK... [02:34] Zvezda: you can install the ubuntu-desktop metapackage [02:34] Zvezda: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:34] Zvezda, Yeah, Boot Ubuntu LiveCD [02:34] LiveCD will ask you is you want to Upgrade. === ge0wany is now known as geowany [02:34] KE1HA: Do you mean the text based installer? [02:35] Tomwa, well its sort of a Text base installer, still have menues and such, but it gets you around the GPU / chipset issues. [02:36] KE1HA: Alright thanks I'll try that [02:36] Just looke for the distro you want, amd64 or 1386, ubuntu-alternate-iso [02:36] hello, in folder properties, how do I change the nautilus folder size unit to always show size in bytes instead of bytes/MB/GB ? [02:36] Anyone having problems with the numeric keypad? [02:37] I cannot edit .mp3 tags in Rhythmbox, I get this error "Unable to create tag-writing elements", any ideas? [02:37] KEIHA: it's my own server at home [02:38] crucialhoax: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=105613 [02:38] rebirth: that was just to force a complete upgrade ( the dpkg.. repair ..option),, no it's just about going back on desktop , ithere strt gdm or reboot [02:38] mek||malloc: Ill check it out now. Thanks :) I googled the issue but only got bug reports that werent solved. [02:39] DasEi: oh ok, i just did a hard reboot [02:39] mek||malloc: are you aware of any logs of normal GUI events? [02:39] hi, I've been having this big problem for two months now. I have been unable to share my network connection to my Roku set-top box. The forums have been basically useless. Can anyone please help me? [02:39] i'll come back later and ask, busy now. thanks for the help so far though this is the best channel! [02:39] lol [02:39] Aeronius: I'm sure there are other logs of X. When you say GUI, it all runs through x11. Do a google search for X11 error reports or error logs. I mentioned one... ~/.xsession-errors [02:40] where do i go to do a packaging request? [02:40] blag, as in a feature or new .deb package to the repo's ? [02:40] blag: launchpad¿ [02:41] yeah, short answer for either, Launchpad. [02:41] does anyone know where i can get support for PC/OS Linux? (NOT PClinuxOS) [02:41] chai_: dunno how you see that, I get zero support in here [02:41] :p [02:41] or in the forums, for that matter [02:42] outdated forums [02:42] lazy admins [02:42] like on irc [02:42] I'm going to ask a general question, feel free to point to channel abuse. Anyone know a good way to perform x forwarding over ssh (ssh -Y) while piping the sound back from the destination machine to the client? I am trying to watch a movie which exists on computer 2 on machine 1, but specifically using the audio device from machine 1 (and not 2). [02:42] synister: you know anything about Internet connection sharing and why the steps that should work with my computer don't? [02:42] mek||malloc, if no one can answer here you may want to try the ##linux channel [02:43] Can i say something? [02:43] Do you have to share? [02:43] Fair enough, I thought I'd ask here since I was already in the channel. Thanks, coz_ [02:43] YOu dont have two nics? [02:43] a hub.. [02:43] jdsbluedevl, if there both wireless, do an ad-hoc netowrk. [02:43] synister: hub not allowed in university apartments [02:43] mek||malloc, no problem... at times ##linux has a broader base of knowledge across linux [02:43] I dont share my connection, it rediculous [02:43] I hear you [02:44] KE1HA: neither are wireless routers [02:44] lol [02:44] has to go through the Ubuntu box [02:44] mek||malloc: try freenx with nomachinenx client . it's enhanced X / XDMCP . it has options for what you want to [02:44] Ding, no joy there then im affraid :-) [02:44] Does your school allow you to do what youre trying to do? [02:44] bofh80: Thank you kindly! [02:44] And thanks again coz_ [02:44] jdsbluedevl, you dont need a wireless router for ad-hoc, that's what ad-hoc does [02:44] synister: yeah, they allow Internet connection sharing through an intermediary computer, just not through a router [02:45] Uses one Wireless NIC to allow access to another wireless NIC [02:45] anyone useing D-Link DWA-125 wireless usb with rt2870 chip set [02:45] mek||malloc: you can use the nomachinenx server itself too (all free but not source, and has concurrent usage limitations, which is way i suggest the freenx server) [02:45] Youre on linux? I wouldnt have an idea [02:45] KE1HA: wireless not allowed, university has its own wireless network [02:45] Ya [02:46] I guess you have to [02:46] KE1HA: and that wireless network is 802.1X, which Roku does not support [02:46] so are these boxes in the same room / vacinity ? [02:46] KE1HA: yes [02:46] and what part isn't working ? the NICs themselves, or the ICS function ? [02:46] KE1HA: and I have a long enough Ethernet cable [02:47] KE1HA: NICs work independently when connected to wall, but outgoing won't connect with Roku box [02:47] mek||malloc: Thats not the problem. I converted some .mp4's to mp3's and those are the ones I cant edit, sorry for being vague [02:48] RoKu box, ok, im not up to speed on what that thing is [02:48] KE1HA: that's the Netflix streaming box === wesley is now known as UkuleleGuy [02:48] does ubuntu come witha rdp access. [02:48] crucialhoax: http://lifehacker.com/216010/call-for-help-convert-m4a-to-mp3-and-keep-tags-intact [02:49] I'd have to do a bit of reading on that jdsbluedevl to make sure I understand how it works. [02:49] crucialhoax: This is supposedly a common problem in converting m4a and mp4 to mp3 [02:49] jdsbluedevl: what's been the result so far? has the netflix box recieved an IP address ? [02:49] mek||malloc: is there a log of normal events in the GUI? [02:49] Aeronius: Really? [02:49] Aeronius: Did you not read my past four or so comments? [02:49] But essentially, your wanting to share a service from one box "RoKu" to a standard installtion box ? [02:49] mek||malloc, seems the programs listed were for Windows and it didnt provide much info [02:49] bofh80: no, just says 0.0.0.0 [02:50] crucialhoax: I didn't read it too well to be honest. [02:50] crucialhoax: I'll see if I can find anything [02:50] mek||malloc, Its all good lol. I cant seem to find anything either. [02:50] KE1HA: I want to share the connection from my Ubuntu to the Roku box [02:50] jdsbluedevl, on, straight ISC, no forward X or any of that? [02:50] jdsbluedevl: what methods have you tried thus far ? [02:50] GL jdsbluedevl [02:51] anyone useing D-Link DWA-125 wireless usb with rt2870 chip set ? that has got it to work [02:51] mek||malloc: everything seemed to be in the context of errors, which is why I'm saying normal events... [02:51] well, I tried to set the IPv4 on the outgoing card to "Share with other computers", but that won't connect [02:51] crucialhoax: http://forums.mp3tag.de/lofiversion/index.php/t5123.html I read this through a bit. Take a look at it. [02:52] does anyone know how to tell if the dbe module is loading correctly for X? lucid with fglrx [02:52] bofh80: doing that with incoming connection shuts off the connection from the wall [02:52] I'm not that familiar with x, sorry Aeronius. [02:52] jdsbluedevl, and your not allowed to have a router or switch in the room either right ? [02:52] KE1HA: right [02:53] jdsbluedevl, and you've went down the cross-over cable route ? [02:53] KE1HA: no, not yet [02:53] mek||malloc, Still nothing. I had some videos that were .mp4 and I converted them .mp3 and rhythmbox wont let me edit them [02:54] jdsbluedevl, with the limitations you put on this, that's the only way I can think, No Wireless, not Hub / Switch, only thing left is direct connection. === gbrandao is now known as vou_comer_vc [02:55] Does anyone know how painful Maverick's transition to Xorg server 1.9 is going to be? [02:56] jdsbluedevl, and a standard cat5e/6 is not gonna work, [02:56] ok === vou_comer_vc is now known as gbrandao [02:56] peepingtom: #ubuntu+1 [02:56] many newer ethernet devices automatically detect where a crossover cable should be used instead of a straight-through though, especially gigabit devices [02:57] DasEi: Thanks! [02:57] jdsbluedevl: apparently firestarter might have some options to setup ICS for you. if you go down the route of enabling ipforwarding , then you need a dhcp server running [02:57] bof80: tried that [02:57] raevol: /var/log/Xorg.0.log will show if dbe is loaded, but i'm not sure how to verify it is functioning [02:58] peepingtom, but a standard nic cable wont work with direct connection, need to be a cross-over. [02:58] jdsbluedevl: how new is your computer / netflix box btw ? [02:58] Ok, I was able to get GRUB to show me the menu and boot into recovery mode, but it still fails to boot. It stops at the "ureadahead-other" part. If I hit esc or del it switches to a screen which says Ubuntu and has four dots under it that change color. Does this mean it is still trying to boot a GUI even in recovery mode? [02:58] bofh80: and I don't know how to run a dhcp server. every time I try I mess up [02:58] jdsbluedevl: the newer network cards autosense (non)crossover just fine these days [02:59] bofh80: computer is probably 6 years old (it has an Athlon 1800+ chip, and I bought it at a Goodwill computer store) [02:59] any recommendations for a program to rip a cd? sound-juicer is no good... [02:59] Roku is from January [02:59] ah, that probably won't. but the roku might do it for you. are you able to set static IP information on the netflix [02:59] bofh80: funny thing is, it worked fine for a while back in 9.10, and then it just stopped working a month after I installed 10.04 [03:00] you want to check connectivity between the two first probably [03:00] ohh [03:00] jdsbluedevl, not to mention, your gonna need 2x Lan ports on the Inet box, and a DHCP "server, which Im sure your Network admins are not going to like much. [03:00] that's good to know, [03:00] thune3: yea looks like it is loading but not functioning :( [03:00] How would I go about setting up DHCP server and tightvncserver to start automatically on boot? I'm running Ubuntu Server [03:00] jdsbluedevl: does this mean you managed the dhcp server ok last time ? [03:01] bofh80: I didn't set up a dhcp server [03:01] jdsbluedevl: then where did the netflix get it's IP ? [03:01] Can most devices use link-local connections or is that more of an avahi/zeroconf thing? [03:01] from the normal ICS setup that Ubuntu had, which doesn't work anymore with my computer [03:01] jdsbluedevl: I missed the first part of your conversation, are you just trying to share an internet connection between 2 devices? [03:01] raevol: it's no substitute for vsyncing stuff. what are you trying to fix with it? [03:02] conky [03:02] peepingtom: yes, and the two ways Ubuntu wants me to do it aren't working [03:02] What happened to Ubuntu? [03:02] hmm, this forum post seems to indicate it might be a xinerama problem... [03:02] is anyone able to help me? [03:02] peepingtom: he has to use his ubuntu to ICS a connection for his netflix box, but basically just enabling ICS . [03:02] jonathan: Your init.d scripts [03:02] jdsbluedevl: you mean the method in network-manager were you use an ipv4 "link-local" connection? [03:03] But ICS or not the second bx still need an IP-Addy. [03:03] jonathan2: Add it to your /etc/init.d/rc.local file [03:03] peepingtom: link-local? the wiki says "Shared to other computers" [03:03] And that has to come from some sort of DHCPD [03:03] be it the UNI's DHCPD or the UB-Box DHCPD === laptop_fur is now known as laptop_dragon [03:04] so just add the two commands that I use to start them? [03:04] KE1HA: i never thought, but with his setup, ICS is probably relaying his DHCP requests [03:04] jdsbluedevl: Well I guess that way is easier actually. Can your netflix box be set up with a static IP or does it need to receive an IP automatically through DHCP? [03:04] and if you hang a DHCPD on a live Network, without the IP tables set up properly, your gonna give out lots of IP addresses. [03:04] peepingtom: dunno [03:04] jonathan2: That is correct, though I suggest you copy the file to a backup like .rc.local just in case [03:05] hello people: I am trying to setup ICS from my vodafone 3G broadband from my laptop (gateway) to share using an 8 port switch. I am following the instructions on www.howtoforge.com. After saving my settings and running '/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart' I see a couple of red colored 'fail'.

[03:05] It looks like there is a conflict with dhcp settings else where. How can I clear everything and start again?

[03:05] and in order to do that, you need to make the INET connect box, basically into a router. [03:06] ? [03:06] as it is, I have to fix a problem I borked myself, when I removed older kernels and now the darn thing won't boot [03:06] even with the newer kernels still installed [03:06] It's in linux-2.6.33 but not in 2.6.32 [03:06] Hi, I have installed the apache2 on ubuntu 10.04 [03:06] I guess that's what the live CD is for [03:06] xxthink: Me too! [03:06] Compiling Linux Kernel is hard and complex [03:06] so it only gives out IP-Addy's to its on sub-net. Nuff said about server :-) [03:06] but the /etc/apache2/http.conf file is empty [03:07] I also installed the php model [03:07] myke2: I have a ppa with .35 [03:07] ? [03:07] rtl8192u? [03:07] xxthink: It got moved since apache just had a httpd.conf [03:07] but the apache2.conf doesn't contain any php [03:07] for ubuntu 10.04? [03:07] yes [03:07] myke2: if you consider reading and learning, hard and complex, then yeah i guess so lol [03:07] xxthink: there are other conf files controlling apache.. read up on it.. they do different things.

[03:12] hey thanks for responding peepingtom, I had gone through those setup details as well. my problem is that I think I have more tried to set dhcp 3 different ways and these settings are conflicting with each other. i'll take KE1HA's suggestion and check out the server channel. =) [03:12] question... anyone know the command to restart sshd after editing the config? I don't wanna go back home to reboot my comp.

[03:14] The driver is the one which it can't be compiled in linux-2.6.32-21 [03:15] AGG [03:15] bofh80: that is good to hear then. you are referring to /etc/dhcpd.conf right? its just that I installed dhcp3 and it has it's own config file /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf which is probably where the conflict is happening. [03:15] Blue1: Yes I thnk I might've typo'd there :D [03:16] peepingtom: so did I [03:16] Annie: it's probably sudo service restart sshd [03:16] It seems that the new kernel of linux has rtl8192u [03:16] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.33.y.git;a=tree;f=drivers/staging/rtl8192u;h=ece4f6d574eb957e2eff43cf82e822fd65f37b6d;hb=HEAD [03:16] peepingtom: cool beans [03:16] but I can't get it!@ [03:17] jdsbluedevl, Both boxes need an IP address, yes, how is the second box, the one hanging off your primary INET gettign its second IP address ?

[03:55] JustinTheTerribl, I only used conky once so I am not the one that can help ...sorry guy [03:55] KE1HA: annie using ssh to make a SOCKSv5 proxy [03:55] maco: exactly [03:55] I guess everyone is so busy .. :( [03:56] sacarlson: i want to...but my current website uses php4 [03:56] annie: sshd (the openssh server) is bound to these ports on the CLIENT (why? perhaps you've mistakenly edited the config files on client not server) .. sudo service ssh stop ... or remove openssh-server at all from client [03:56] pil, I didnt see your question [03:56] joe_gubat: you sure it won't work with php5? [03:56] pil in general linux doesnt require defragging [03:56] pil: no defrag no. thank goodness you don't need to defrag anymore :) [03:57] pil and currently there isnt s stable "defragger" for ext4, aside from dd [03:57] pil, ah defragging... well although linux fragments it doesn do it in the same way windows does...the files are written to the drive in an different fashion [03:57] ilovefairuz: ohhhh... Dang.. Yeah. I was switching out the laptop because I'm going to use it as the server. KK... so edit my config files here to the default ports. [03:57] Yeah, I get the whole proxy thing. Not here to argue just think that's the wrong way to go, but stand corr on ssl / ssh. [03:57] Wiesshund, bofh80: are you serious? No defragment is necessary? [03:57] yes i have tried it... the cms wont load on php5 [03:57] joe_gubat: try it if it fails with your site then worry about it [03:57] I learn something every day I'm in this room [03:57] pil, he is serious [03:57] :) Thank God [03:57] thanks alot [03:57] :) [03:58] pil: the standard answer around here is that you don't need it. This is a function of not having defrag tools [03:58] someone help me understand this poster: http://images.easyart.com/i/prints/lg/1/6/164339.jpg [03:58] joe_gubat: ok what is cms? maybe that's what we need to fix [03:58] i am planning to migrate it to php5 [03:58] only time i see a baddly fragged drive in linux is when someone is using torrent to get large video files etc, and thats more a fault of the torrent app [03:58] thune3: ok [03:58] pil, also no need for anitvirus and spyware utilites ..at least at the moment [03:58] I can maybe see how the rock wins, but the tree? [03:58] it is a customize cms... [03:58] coz_: I hope it will stay that way :P [03:58] :) [03:58] coz_: what if the SGD doesnt work? [03:58] pil: another standard answer, but malware can hit ubuntu as well [03:59] pil, I gather that creating a defragmentation utility has been on the Linux community's to-do list for ages. But, fragmentation isn't much of a problem, so it stays low on the to-do list. [03:59] joe_gubat: I don't know what cms is so guess can't help you there [03:59] drew212, sgd? I am bad at abreviations :) [03:59] annie: stop the server on the client, you don't need it for the proxy to work [03:59] coz_: super grub disk [03:59] its grub, on a disk... [03:59] Foolish0wl: I got it thanks :) [03:59] drew212, oh ok... ah it should however to be sure about the procedures with grub2 I would go to the #grub channel [04:00] Any OS can be hit by malware or virus, but linux is harder to target and the enduser usualy a bit more savvy. So people tend not to write viruses for it [04:00] ilovefairuz: right. But after I get all this sorted, the client is gonna be the server. Long story. [04:00] YOu dont need a FTP client, linux comes to with "Connect to server" built in [04:00] How to change grub2's fonts? [04:00] How to change grub2's fonts? bold, italic, family name etc [04:00] Wiesshund: but that gap closes with cross platform browser plugins like flash and java etc . just as exploitable on any OS they run on [04:00] annie: ok but for the time being turn it off to not confuse yourself [04:01] RenatoSilva, oooo tough question for me to answer... I am still getting used to grub2 :) but there are a ton of how to's online and you can go to the #grub channel [04:01] do you have any idea in setting up LAMPhp4 using the source package? [04:01] coz_: im pretty sure its a problem with my xorg.conf... [04:01] pil if youve actualy fragmented a linux partition bad (its possible just unusual) you can defrag it perfectly with dd [04:01] ilovefairuz: yeah... just have default port 22 open in confg file now... [04:01] Wiesshund: also, linux gets security updates more frequently with new kernels and such [04:01] drew212, still #grub channel may have some insights [04:01] coz_: google is a bad guy [04:01] coz_: ill check after SGD, thanks man =) [04:01] coz_: I guess that's impossible. Would not be surprised. [04:02] drew212, no problem...let us know if you solve this ..the solution may be real helpful [04:02] Wiesshund: Ok... I hope linux stays virusless OS for ages... [04:02] sacarlson-do you have any idea in setting up LAMPhp4 using the source package? [04:02] Wiesshund: i'd be in for understanding how a dd defrag would work (as I don't believe it) [04:02] bofh80 yes and no, depends on if you like logging in as root. id say normaly the worst you are going to do is ruin one users login, which is an easy fix [04:02] joe_gubat: if you need to compile that old stuf http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1329760 [04:02] coz_: I just upgraded to grub2 but I liked the old font, I think it was just bolder [04:03] Wiesshund: me too. [04:03] thanks [04:03] pil, most of the viruses I have seen were on the server platform ,,,, my nephew got one for his business... but overall I doubt it will be much of an issue you can go to the BlackHat security sight to see what has been going on in terms of security issues with linux [04:03] thune3 easy, remember of course you need the space to dd, when you pick up files and write them to a new fresh location, they are laid down perfect and unfragmented [04:03] Wiesshund: from one point of view, root yes, but most of these things are after user data, that's accessable just by running as the user . nothing stopping it dropping a bomb in the users dir and having it launch with gnome either etc. it's not far out of reach [04:03] pil, http://www.blackhat.com/ [04:04] Wiesshund: do you have a script handy? [04:04] bofh80 that is true, no sys tem can ever be totaly secure against its owner. [04:04] ilovefairuz: THANK YOU .... it's working now. SWEET. You have saved me so much headache! [04:04] Wiesshund: I had a MacbookPro before I switched to ubuntu and the reason for switching to MacOS X because of there is no known viruses but the OS X bored me as hell... by the way the BlackHat you mean the channel here in freenode? [04:04] annie: you're welcome [04:05] pil, that site can be difficult to maneauver in but worth the effort [04:05] coz_:thanks anyway [04:05] RenatoSilva, sorry if I havent been much help === Jono is now known as Guest90239 [04:05] np [04:05] pil actualy osX has more viri in existance than linux (which is still almost none) [04:06] ? [04:06] oops, sorry [04:06] I'm having a problem with getting tightvncserver to start at boot on ubuntu srver [04:06] Wiesshund: why people write viruses in the first place - that I dont understand it really.. :P [04:07] because [04:07] Guest90239: I think you might have to have auto login set or it will have nothing to look at [04:07] pil: To prove to Bill Gates and the world that his software sucs. [04:07] exactly lol [04:07] pil why do people steal murder and rape? same reasons really [04:08] thanks again .... this room is awesome [04:08] Hi guys added the xbmc repository and apt-get update return Ign on the team-xbmc and a bunch of multivers and restricted repositories. How do I get it to fetch those repos? [04:08] I created a file called local in /etc/init.d/ , made it executable, added the command tightvncserver -rfbport 5900 and then ran update-rc.d, but the vnc server doesnt start === jack is now known as Guest91715 [04:09] Wiesshund, collabra: that's exactly true - the human nature but in the case of Linux - we are the ones I guess to make the open source clean and trustworthy for us the geeks... :) [04:09] off topic conversations to #ubuntu-offtopic please [04:09] robg: my guess is that the site is broken, it may return with time or you can find a mirror site with what you want [04:09] Why would recovery mode try to boot to a GUI? Assuming that a screen which says Ubuntu and four dots which change color in 10.04 is the boot GUI. [04:09] collabra eh but if you remember some of the first viruses, they were not OS dependant. technicaly they could kill a linux machine that was booted from floppies [04:09] can anyone help? [04:09] !patience | Guest90239 [04:09] Guest90239: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [04:11] Wiesshund: Well, tell me this,... would you rather use an operating system designed for themselves by 10 to 20 thousand programmers world-wide..... Or one man's failed vision? [04:11] Guest90239: I think you should have your system auto login to an account you want to vnc to and have your vnc start from your login account [04:11] Hi, I can't seem to run 'configure' on my nginx source. I keep getting this message: "unable to execute ./configure: Permission denied" I've checked the permissions, they're set to 755. The ownership is fine too. Any clues? I've run out of ideas. [04:11] take care guys and gals - I have to go back to my linux books to study a little bit more ... talk to you later - you all are great - thanks for being there all the time - I am full of emotions now... :) [04:12] tightvncserver doesnt run automatically when I log in manually either [04:12] Guest90239: no you have to setup the start in the account give a sleep time so that the account is up to vnc to [04:13] collabra i use quite a few OS's frequently, and personaly have no issues with any of them. But im not the guy at bestbuy grabbing a box off the shelf going home and then clicking yes on every popup box i see just to get the non existant free porn ;) [04:13] ok i lied, i hate lantastic [04:14] Guest90239: I don't use tight vnc I just use the one that is installed standard and it has a gui to set it up [04:14] how would I do that? [04:14] Wiesshund: Well, I'm definitely not grabbing that box on the shelf..... lol. [04:14] I'm running ubuntu server with no GUI [04:14] Any graphic designers in here? [04:14] Guest90239: does it have to be tightvnc? [04:15] ???? [04:15] Guest90239: oh then you would need to setup a headless vnc === synister is now known as ipc [04:16] Any graphic designers in here? [04:16] Guest90239: Why don't you just use SSH?....

[04:16] Guest90239: you could just install the ubuntu-desktop or run headless === sticky_ is now known as sticky [04:17] Guest90239: collabra: good point why can't you just ssh in if it's just a server? [04:17] How will ssh differ from vnc? [04:17] Which is the best file system, speed-wise, for large numbers of small files [04:18] im talking tens of thousands of course files [04:18] source*& [04:18] Guest90239: TightVNC is for gui and graphics,... if you're just in a text environment,... ssh all the way. [04:18] Guest90239: well vnc is a graphical interface. a server has no graphic xserver running. you just ssh into a server into a shell [04:18] Guest90239: ssh is text-based (but you can use it to redirect X connection) [04:18] VNC is for remote desktoping, gui and all that jazz. plain ssh is secure telnet for command line stuff [04:18] do I need a program for ssh? wiol it run at startup automatically? [04:19] is there any way i can access windows and linux remotely? [04:19] sudo apt-get install ssh [04:19] Can anyone recommend a mirror for 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'? My installation is messed up and I suspect it's the packages that were downloaded. [04:19] Guest90239: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [04:19] I mean, a mirror for Ubuntu in general. [04:19] Guest90239 server should have sshd running by default should it not? [04:19] Guest90239: the server has sshd already installed and running default on port 22 [04:19] Guest90239: then open port 22 to the outside and then remote in.... [04:20] just type ssh serverip in term [04:20] Guest90239: there are a few security enhancements you can make,... but learning them is as easy as a google.

[04:32] coz_: yeah, I remember "clamscan -r". So then what would I enter to in addition to "clamscan -r" if I wanted to scan the entire file system? [04:32] sacarlson, dont like cacti. too complicated to setup. [04:33] coz_: 17 million euros? I think somebody needs 16,999,999.99 in change [04:33] Well that was fucken retarded [04:33] sacarlson, munin is quite nice and runs on my embedded devices too [04:33] mlmg317-himts, mm maybe sudo clamscan -r [04:34] its not munins fault this dont work :\ just a nvidia thing :/ [04:34] mlmg317-himts, I believe there are both gtk and qt frontends for clamav as well [04:34] RealOpty: with cacti you have views of all your servers loads and events. to each his own [04:34] whats wrong with this channel any ops on? [04:34] mlmg317-himts, you could also try man clamscan [04:35] cannot send to channel #ubuntu ... [04:35] sacarlson, ive used cacti. but now ive switched to munin :) [04:35] coz_: Yeah - I have had troubles with GUI. It will stall in the middle of full system scan - and never finish ...

[04:49] Anyone know which compilers to use for Ubuntu 10.04? I am trying to install NGINX and I keep getting permission and 'bad compiler' errors. I've reinstall about 8 times already... :( [04:49] ilovefairuz: that alone makes it alot better? [04:49] biodegabriel, gcc [04:49] apt-get install gcc? [04:49] any version? [04:49] ZEKnox: network performance-wise, yes [04:49] I forgot to install samba on this machine. I did it on the other one but forgot to on this machine >_< [04:49] biodegabriel, it should be installed however sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:50] coz_ That's what I've been doing. My Ubuntu install is really bare. I'm on a cloud server. [04:50] biodegabriel: sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:50] ilovefairuz: how do you feel about changing the encryption to blowfish? [04:50] biodegabriel, mmmm [04:50] ZEKnox: NX nomachine.com and freenx server (there is free server from nomachine but it has concurrent usage limitations) it's 'enhanced' X forwarding / XDMCP . it might suit your needs [04:50] coz_ I've been using build-essential, but I think the problem is with pcre? === mike is now known as Guest86279 [04:51] biodegabriel, ooo then I am not sure gcc is the compiler you want to use [04:51] bofh80: my laptop is out of the state, can I install that only ssh access [04:51] ZEKnox: Yes === Guest86279 is now known as kirby [04:51] Hello People. [04:51] whompapotamus: bofh80 thank you guys for you suggestion, I may try that out [04:52] after a system update on netbuntu, mplayer doesn't play audio in movies. === kirby is now known as Guest6549 [04:52] ok guys... it is nearly midnight here ... i am tired so I am off for the night... do well ...be nice night [04:52] coz_ so if i do install gcc after 'build essential' will it replace the other one? Here's what I've been doing: http://pastie.org/1087545 [04:52] ZEKnox: the major issue with X (and forwarding) most toolkits talk synchronously to the server (not async even though it's supported) and that hogs up the network, if you have capable machines crypto choices won't matter much [04:52] coz_ don't worry about it. have a good night. :) [04:53] launching mplayer filename -ao alsa works tho. [04:53] i'm ready to try another flavour of linux... :( [04:53] i am apparently incapable of doing a packaging request on launchpad. does anybody know the exact url for reporting a bug? [04:53] ilovefairuz: good point. I would normally setup better methods than X forwarding, but right now I'm in a jam and its the only option. The laptop is out of state [04:53] Is there a way that I can stop Ubuntu from making that damnable drumming sound when it first boots and displays the login screen? [04:53] biodegabriel: Reason? [04:53] ZEKnox: pop on freenx from the repos' and install the client from nomachine on your end . oh freenx removed from repo's ? i swear it was there before [04:53] whompapotamus, can't install nginx, tried about 20 times. [04:54] ZEKnox: the NX protocol (and it's Free implementations like neatx) offer the most bandwidth savings but they are more of a hassle to set up, X forwarding is simple and good enough [04:54] how do I make a machine fsck on reboot? [04:54] Good Morning! :) [04:54] biodegabriel, installing the build-essential package will install gcc. So if you then try to install gcc, you will find it already installed. [04:55] biodegabriel: sudo apt-get install nginx doesn't work? [04:55] the free implementations are more than 'a hassle' to set up, they're near impossible. Video editing on linux is easier. [04:55] i need to compile it for passenger, can i pass special arguments to 'apt-get'? [04:55] !fsck | tonsofpcs [04:55] tonsofpcs: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [04:55] thanks abhijit [04:55] biodegabriel: Download the source and built it yourself [04:56] well i just figured it out....System>Preferences>Networking tool is a piece of crap..." why do they install useless tools that don't work.? Only way of getting my network online is by doing a simple command: sudo dhclient eth0 [04:56] tried that. still get 'bad compiler' and permission errors. [04:56] I have a dell latitude d630 running the newest 64bit ubuntu, it has a docking station that contains a pci ati radeon 9250, i wish to hook this docking station to a television set. how well will ubuntu handle such a thing when i dock or undock the machine from the station? [04:56] whompapotamus, doesn't matter which version either. [04:56] nevermind. [04:56] fixed that. [04:56] Four2zero, did you try left-clicking the network icon in your system tray and clicking the interface you wanted to bring up? [04:56] oops [04:57] four2zero_ubu, did you try left-clicking the network icon in your system tray and clicking the interface you wanted to bring up? [04:57] IdleOne whompapotamus, I basically use a clean install, download the source, and it won't "./configure" [04:57] four2zero_ubu: I thought you wanted a static address? [04:57] When a .deb file has dependencies, how do you list and install those dependent packages? [04:57] biodegabriel, why does it fail to ./configure? [04:57] naptastic yes, i tried that method after i used the manual command, but then it disconnected the wired eth0. [04:57] biodegabriel, does it give you an error? What does it say? [04:57] biodegabriel: Never really tried nginx - will have to someday - looks sweet [04:57] sacarlson: i do. [04:57] naptastic, it says http://pastie.org/1087553 [04:58] four2zero_ubu, ok. (I'm not much of a fan of NetworkManager either.) [04:58] but its not working [04:58] i looked at the permission, they're fine. executable and everything. [04:58] how about the owner [04:58] four2zero_ubu: so you didn't modify the /etc/network/interfaces file? [04:58] Tadpole_Jackson: only one way to truly know ... [04:58] When a .deb file has dependencies, how do you list and install those dependent packages? [04:59] Enigmati1Coder, i did it both as root, and as admin, changed both permissions, nothing works. [04:59] biodegabriel: So you are having permission issues - create a fakeroot environment and try to compile that way [04:59] very mysterious [04:59] how do i enable the delete confirmation when deleting a file? the rm -i isn't just supposed to be used in terminal? [04:59] biodegabriel, it's probably complaining about the module you're trying to add. Did you try "sudo ./configure"? [04:59] Enigmati1Coder, apt-get build-dep [04:59] Enigmati1Coder: sudo gdebi file.deb [04:59] naptastic: yeah, i tried sudo, and it just says 'permission error' [04:59] ty both [04:59] my speakers are making a constant 'eh eh eh eh eh' sound, what could be causing this? [05:00] ilovefairuz: to be sure, that will install them automatically? [05:00] whompapotamus: i don't know how to do that.... could you explain? :) [05:00] sacarlson: yes i did: http://pastebin.com/RJU3Tzz6 [05:00] ilovefairuz: i'm not going to bother bringing this docking station home if i don't know if it'll work [05:00] somebody has got to use linux with docking stations [05:00] somebody here [05:00] wht is dockin g station? Tadpole_Jackson [05:00] whompapotamus: or maybe i'll just google that. [05:01] biodegabriel, have you tried ./configure without the options? (And where did you get those options? making the prefix anywhere in /opt is not a standard procedure.) [05:01] four2zero_ubu: looks good so at reboot or restart network it should work [05:01] Enigmati1Coder: that works when you're trying to install a single .deb file and you want deps to be resolved and installed automatically, apt-get build-dep installs the packages that are need to BUID/compile the package, not run it === bootstrap is now known as bootstrap` [05:01] biodegabriel: http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/Linux/fakeroot.1.html [05:01] naptastic yup. no luck. [05:01] will try brb, restart. [05:01] wow -- they fixed 16,000 bugs in kde? [05:02] my speakers are making a constant 'eh eh eh eh eh' sound, what could be causing this? [05:02] whompapotamus: so i would do 'fakeroot ./configure'? [05:02] Enigmati1Coder: what are you trying to accomplish? [05:02] biodegabriel, that's bizarre. Was nginx intended for use with a different distribution? [05:02] whompapotamus: naptastic still get "/usr/bin/fakeroot: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied" [05:02] Niglop, no idea. sorry. [05:03] it's called the dark-heart mobo [05:03] asrock? [05:03] foxconn? [05:04] Niglop: probably a stuck music player or the flash plugin [05:04] hmm [05:04] Niglop: close any browsers and any music/video applications [05:04] whompapotamus, IdleOne naptastic: it's really weird, cause everything else installs properly. only nginx doesn't want to install. i'll keep at it. Thanks for the tips you guys! [05:04] Tadpole_Jackson: i suspect they work since i know some linux-only OEMs that sell machines with them, but its possible there are ones that dont, i guess... [05:04] Niglop: Tried restarting?? [05:04] how do i enable the delete confirmation when deleting a file? the rm -i isn't just supposed to be used in terminal? [05:05] does anyone know any linux software to transfer songs from an ipod touch to harddisk? [05:05] Hi. I have no sound in OpenBox [05:05] whompapotamus: IdleOne naptastic Does it matter that i did 'su - root' ? Is that not the same as logging in as root? [05:05] biodegabriel, "su -" is the same as logging in as root. [05:05] because alsa is defaulting to my Intel audio card, but I would like it to use my SoundBlaster XFi [05:05] lolmac: system > preferences > file management > behavior [05:05] naptastic: OK [05:05] lolmac: I just sudo rm -r badfiles.* [05:05] nop [05:05] ill restart [05:05] if I run alsamixer -c 2 it shows the alsa card, but alsamixer -D 2 says it's not available? [05:06] monokrome: do you have both cards on for a reason? ie can't you disable the onboard one in the bios ? [05:06] !ipod > rebirth [05:06] rebirth, please see my private message [05:06] with 10.04 how do I crash X to get to the console? [05:06] bofh80: I would rather not [05:07] I use it for testing on one of my personal projects: http://github.com/monokrome/openal-source/ === albech_ is now known as albech [05:07] ilovefairuz: does that work? [05:07] ZEKnox: why crash it? ctrl + alt + f2 to get a console and f7 to get X back [05:07] yes [05:07] it works [05:08] lolmac: there are preferences there to enable confirmations (but only in the gui file manager) [05:08] ilovefairuz: i pressed those, and it didn't go to the console, my pc must be froze [05:08] thanks [05:08] biodegabriel: su means to switch user - you passed it root - you then are root [05:08] whompapotamus: OK thx [05:08] peeps, what's the command for ubuntu's theme manager? ubuntu-netbook can't find it. [05:08] whompapotamus: i'm going to try with karmic. lucid is maybe too cutting edge for nginx? LOL [05:08] !ipod > rebirth [05:08] rebirth, please see my private message [05:08] so i'll just use the command line, because I know it's there [05:08] !theme [05:08] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [05:09] ilovefairuz: i think there is a bug, the option is available but it doesn't work [05:09] !theme-manager [05:09] what file manager you use? [05:09] !ubuntu-theme [05:09] ZEKnox: ctrl + alt + print screen/sysreq key + k [05:09] * monokrome uses rox-filer [05:09] drats [05:09] what's it called! [05:09] monokrome: i haven't looked for the latest versions, but changing the 'default' card usually requires editing the alsa conf . but with your programming skills and this setup i'd assume you'd know that? [05:10] lolmac: nautilus, how to you delete things? [05:10] baaaaah [05:10] bofh80: Sure, but I don't know where those files are. There's no alsa files in /etc/ [05:10] kk i restarted my computer and it fixed it [05:10] ilovefairuz: when i press delete it moves automatically the file to the trash [05:10] ilovefairuz: what i'm looking to do isn't add music to my ipod, but go the other way and take music off of an ipod. i know there is windows software that does this but i don't know any on linux [05:10] my keyboard is buggy so it deletes stuff automatically [05:10] ilovefairuz: I already powered off the machine, but I will try that one next time, thanks [05:10] how do I run theme prefs! [05:11] !theme-panel [05:11] litropy: ¿ [05:11] lolmac: this is not "delete" it's just moving to trash, press shit [05:11] lolmac: sorry, shift + del key [05:11] ugh, managed to somehow corrupt grub... booting with bt4 and fscking from there [05:12] k I'll ask later seeya guys [05:12] monokrome: maybe in /etc/pulse :S . i'd hate this pulse thing lol. i don't quite understand if it's supposed to fully replace alsa [05:13] bofh80: I immediately remove pulse audio after installing Ubuntu. [05:13] bofh80: its a layer on top of alsa [05:13] and it "wraps" alsa [05:13] bofh80: pulse does not contain drivers. half of alsa is drivers. half is a set of over-engineered low-level libraries that application developers tend to use wrongly :P [05:14] monokrome: /etc/modprobe.d/alsablah balh :) [05:14] meh, screwed up the whole thing... need to figure out how to clone one machine to the other [05:14] i love synaptic [05:14] tonsofpcs: what's your issue with grub? [05:14] how can I make xchat start at startup? [05:14] bofh80: That just installs alsa manuals. It isn't where I set my default sound card. [05:15] ilovefairuz: i corrupted my SSD too much, there's nothing critical on this machine (an eeepc) and I have an exact harrdware match that has woring software, gonna just clone the ssd tomorrow (hopefully) [05:15] Niglop: system > preferences > start up applications [05:15] ilovefairuz» what is the command for my shell script? [05:15] *working software [05:15] s/manuals/modules/ [05:16] monokrome: you can see the drivers with the index numbers ? [05:16] Niglop: xchat [05:16] ilovefairuz» just put 'xchat' in a shell script? [05:16] Niglop: no, i've told you where to add a program to start up, aren't you running gnome? [05:17] no im not running gnom ilovefairuz [05:17] bofh80: You mean the "sound-slot-##"? [05:17] I have a script that runs my conky at start can I add xchat into it? ilovefairuz [05:17] Niglop: what are you running? [05:17] ilovefairuz» xfce [05:17] it's better than lxde [05:17] or the ones with index=-2? [05:17] Is there a way that I can stop Ubuntu from making that damnable drumming sound when it first boots and displays the login screen? [05:18] Hi, my server has been hacked somehow. I'm running 6.06LTS and the latest updates are on it. I'm aware it's a comlex topic but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I ran chkrootkit which came back negative. I guess it might have been some php exploit. [05:18] Niglop: check it's settings panel, i think it has a similar module [05:18] ilovefairuz» I just want to know if I can add it to my conky script [05:18] monokrome: if memory serves this index feature can control which sound card is loaded first, but you'll have to look up the details [05:18] Niglop: try: xchat & [05:18] They injected in many index.php some iframe right after the body tag: [05:18] [05:18] thnx ilovefairuz [05:18] bofh80: Thanks [05:18] I'll look into that [05:19] well, when i restarted with static ip configured, network manager did see it as 192.168.0.122 connected successfully, but no websites could be found. [05:19] Hey what's the recommended PDF editor for Ubuntu? [05:19] chek: they probably exploited a php script [05:19] Oh, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32 bit, if that is relevant. [05:20] hey I have a windows Vista computer I am trying to share files with Ubuntu 10.04 computer, I had them sharing at one point but I try to put the user name and password in on ubuntu and it doesn't let me in. is there something i'm missing? [05:20] tim: Are you connecting them via an Ethernet cable or what? [05:20] LinuxFetus: I've used pdfedit - it was acceptable [05:20] but when i changed via network connections, and selecting the IPv4 settings tab > Method back to Automatic addresses only, i am able to get online. [05:21] i can run them at once, both 32-bit and 64-bit [05:21] bofh80: These index= values aren't related to the default card. The are for disabling certain modules from being used as the default. [05:21] having dhcp give me an ip, rather than setting static ip. [05:21] monokrome: right, so can't you do that for your intel card? [05:21] LinuxFetus, linux fetus funny.... wireless network. I have all of my computers on the WORKGROUP [05:21] bofh80: There's a proper way to do this :/ I should probably try #also though [05:22] chek: check the versions of any cms or forum software you're using [05:22] i'll check silverstipe cms and a froum but is there any way to trace their entry point? [05:23] monokrome: i don't understand why it's not proper, you don't want your intel card to be used as default, so you mark it up here as such. if you find a better way pls let me know :) it is something that crops up from time to time [05:24] bofh80: Because that disables my intel card completely I think [05:24] # Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard [05:25] is the comment at the bottom. seems to be the right way [05:25] chek: most of this stuff is done by automated scripts now, so probably no one logged in at all, I suggest you restore a clean backup, and upgrade any software you have [05:25] then I guess I just need to figure out what module the intel one is :/ [05:25] four2zero_ubu: so at reboot it still fails to have your static address? [05:26] monokrome: lsmod is a good start i guess [05:26] yep, once i set the static ip, after reboot it will show in tray area wired connected but no online, [05:26] true [05:27] jasonjang: Is it normal for PDFedit to constantly freeze? [05:27] four2zero_ubu: at that point what did route show? [05:27] LinuxFetus: no - what does top show? [05:27] sacarlson: i dont know ! [05:28] i think nothing. [05:28] jasonwryan: Top...? Do you mean the menu bar? Title bar? [05:28] LinuxFetus: thanks for the LOL. seriously i laughed man. PDF = Adobe = Freeze lol. no seriously is it a fresh document your doing or opening an exiting pdf [05:28] but when i did ipconfig, it was configured properly. [05:28] just like know. [05:28] now [05:28] four2zero_ubu: I asume networkmanager is overwriting something at boot. like your /etc/resolve.conf [05:28] LinuxFetus: no, the command - it shows what's using your CPU... [05:28] prob. [05:29] jasonwryan: Oh, do I type in "top" into the terminal? [05:29] LinuxFetus: if pdfedit is misbehaving... [05:29] LinuxFetus: yes [05:29] resolv.conf will get overwritting periodically if dhcp is on, even if it's not used . LOLz . [05:29] bofh80: Yeah, it's an existing PDF... that was probably made by an automated process. [05:29] LinuxFetus: try messing about with a fresh document to see if the same stuff starts happening [05:30] four2zero_ubu: I just kill networkmanager when I setup a manual static conection [05:30] you can also try copying the entire docuemtn into a fresh one [05:30] bofh80: Alsa doesn't know about my XFi if I use options snd-hda-intel index=-2 [05:30] monokrome: oh wow, that's a turn up for the books. i've only seen this used for exact reason you are . lol [05:30] bofh80: The annoying thing is that sound works in gnome but not in openbox === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [05:31] monokrome: is openbox code maintained ? [05:31] etc/resolv.conf: http://pastebin.com/2GEAitZ1 [05:31] jasonwryan: I can't seem to copy the output of top into a pastebin. [05:32] monokrome: ie, you sure it doesn't want OSS or something? there's an alsa-oss package [05:32] rour2zero_ub: i use a script like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/476753/ [05:32] chek: to nullify the malware addresses inside php and html pages use (as root) : grep -PRsil SerFinWorld /path/to/phpfiles/ | xargs sed -i 's,SerFinWorld,,g' [05:32] bofh80: Shouldn't matter. It's just a window manager. [05:32] jasonwryan: But pdfedit is taking up 98% of my CPU it says. [05:32] LinuxFetus: no problem: is pdfedit in there? [05:32] monokrome: wait, i'm off track a little, i take it you get sound output on your intel in openbox? [05:32] LinuxFetus: well, Houston, we have a problem... [05:33] jasonwryan: Yeah it was listed (I just force quit-ed it). [05:33] chek: Are you running apache? [05:33] bofh80: Not sure. I'll check. [05:33] LinuxFetus: apt-get remove pdfedit and try one of the others... [05:33] can somebody help me [05:33] ask away john38 [05:34] How do they make cds and dvds at factory cause when i burn it always has scratches [05:34] you mom told you to leave her house?

And my knowledge of files made like that tell me that 1) there's usually a lot of overhead (think of exporting a Word document as an HTML file in Word) and 2) may have some measures to keep from editing it -- I [05:38] 'm just trying to write some notes on it :/ I could always open it in GIMP, I guess... I just figured editing a PDF would be less memory intensive.... [05:38] john38: think you could stay on topic a bit better? [05:38] john38: as said, not ubuntu-related, but you can google for cd's with extra-protection for special purposes like long-term backups, they have specialized ones concerning mechanical/optical ((sun)) resistance [05:38] control_: gui? servers arent guis... [05:38] #ubuntu-helpteam [05:38] GUI to control it [05:38] oh.... er.. [05:39] or setup the configue [05:39] config* [05:39] control_: ive never heard of using a gui to configure an ftp server, but there are GUIs for using ftp... [05:39] DasEi, ok so what is the best datawritten titanium? [05:39] like gadmin... [05:39] Maco, sorry [05:39] LinuxFetus: there is DRM for some pdf files: that could be the source of your problems... [05:39] so if i install any ftp server i HAVE to edit text files for users and config etc? [05:39] control_: I you need GUI - get webmin [05:39] anyone help me with getting my mic to work with skype please lol [05:40] webmin? [05:40] control_: believe so... [05:40] john38: please stop asking in this channel, you might get in trouble, datawrite is the brand, titanium is one of their ranges. best on the market for a decent price [05:40] !sound > Michael13guy [05:40] Michael13guy, please see my private message [05:40] control_: Vsftp is the best [05:40] control_: webmin's not supported on ubuntu [05:40] ok [05:40] so vsftp it is? [05:40] can anyone tel me how to set home parameter to my JVM parameters [05:40] whompapotamus: what makes it best? i see references to it on redhat stuff, but i always jsut use the ftp server thats built into openssh-server [05:40] bofh80, ok thanks i'll leave [05:40] !webmin [05:40] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [05:41] ok so i install it through ubuntu software center and then do ??? [05:41] !ebox | control_ this is the closest thing to webmin we have [05:41] control_ this is the closest thing to webmin we have: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [05:41] jasonwryan: You're probably right; I will try the GIMP route... [05:41] omg, so vsftp OR this ebox thing? [05:41] LinuxFetus: good luck! [05:41] control_: ebox isnt an ftp server [05:41] maco: It's very flexible - all cli though [05:41] control_: ebox is a configuration tool [05:42] How to compile and deploy Unicorn on ubuntu 10.04 [05:42] config tool for a ftp server? [05:42] bofh80: I tried a .asoundrc file, like so: http://dpaste.com/227852/ [05:42] control_: i use openssh-server to get sftp going. the config file is pretty straightforward, in my opinion [05:42] anybody from brazil? [05:42] control_: config tool for "stuff"... i dont know what stuff. you asked about webmin, and i said ebox is the closest thing we have to webmin === rtfm is now known as Guest99877 [05:42] !br | Guest99877 [05:42] Guest99877: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [05:42] monokrome: omg that's so simple [05:42] no i asked what is the easiest ftp server to setup in ubuntu server [05:43] control_: and then you asked about webmin... [05:43] because someone said it when i asked for a ftp [05:43] omg [05:43] 5 different people said 5 diff things [05:43] bofh80: Well, it doesn't work because there's no /etc/asound.conf and that's where you usually put it for alsa when it's not set up per-user [05:43] control_: that's the case with gnu/linux, so many options, try each and pick whatever works for you [05:44] control_: then i will second vsftp install it then edit /etc/vsftpd.conf and read the comments to enable what you need [05:44] control_: okfine.... vsftpd and openssh-server are probably the most common ones, and probably for good reason [05:44] monokrome: another ubuntu special : P [05:44] ok i just installed vsftp, i have to now edit the .conf file and boom restart and it works? [05:44] (i never really figured out why i should bother with vsftpd when the openssh one is already there...) [05:44] control_: should be it [05:45] openssh one is where? [05:45] so where is Ubuntu's asound.conf?! [05:45] control_: yes, especially note the options about anonymous access and LOcal User access [05:45] and why doesn't alsa-utils come with half the utils [05:45] i installed ubuntu server with lamp [05:45] control_: if you're using ubuntu server, openssh-server is part of the default install, i think [05:45] control_: that gets you both sshd and sftpd [05:46] hi i have installed vlc media player fr ubuntu 9.10 but its not visible any where in the system [05:46] john38: join #ubuntu-offtopic ? [05:46] ok so how do i set it up to work? [05:46] is there a control panel for that? [05:46] maco: Vsftp is a bear to configure but does straight FTP the best - manage users without having to create shell access (or users without shell access) [05:46] there's also this monokrome (Doesn't look much use) - /usr/share/alsa-base/alsa.default [05:46] whompapotamus: if control_ is asking for the *easiest* and vsftpd is "a bear to configure" then why suggest it? [05:47] lol [05:47] maco: Webmin makes it a breeze - not sure about box [05:47] Ebox [05:47] whompapotamus: webmin also breaks ubuntu's config files [05:47] saravan, can you run it from terminal by typing vlc? [05:48] but someone said webmin isnt supported [05:48] abhijit, sure give me two seconds [05:49] Hello everbody, what is the most stable ubuntu version? [05:49] abhijit, VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye [05:49] control_: which is why its not supported ;-) because of breaking config files [05:49] [0x9755d98] main interface error: no interface module matched "screensaver,none" [05:49] [0x9755d98] main interface error: no suitable interface module [05:49] [0x96c93e8] main libvlc error: interface "screensaver,none" initialization failed [05:49] control_: sudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf and the ssh server is working out of the box but you can configure it. again they suggested this ebox for easy config, but i have no knowledge of it [05:49] * maco grrrrs at bandwidth [05:49] [0x96c93e8] main libvlc error: option drawable-xid does not exist [05:49] saravan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:49] control_: im trying to view my config on my server...but lag is being annoying...hang on [05:50] saravan, try reinstalling it first do sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc and then sudo apt-get install vlc [05:50] bofh80: Yep. That fixed it. [05:50] Downloaded Chrome x64 from there site (for the built in flash goodness) and the built in flash doesn't work :o [05:50] monokrome: ahh back to the alsabase? eek. restarting alsa should do it. no need to reboot ?? [05:50] nice [05:50] Yep. Restarting alsa fixed it. [05:50] It wasn't even loading the XFi module [05:51] Do anyone knows a link to all (stable) versions of Ubuntu installers? [05:51] Anyone tried Chrome (not chromium) in x64 and found a way to make the built in flash work? [05:51] abhijit, its showing vlc not installed [05:51] i'll try to remember how that works . 0 is 1, 1 is 2 . love programmers logic [05:51] saravan, then install it sudo apt-get install vlc [05:51] hi i need information about google maildrive on ubuntu pleas [05:51] same as the network cards i guess heh [05:52] ok i just edited the /etc/vsftpd.conf file...and saved it under sudo....now how do i add users? [05:52] abhijit, command not found [05:52] control_: sudo adduser username [05:52] just in a regular terminal? [05:52] saravan, which versino of ubuntu you are using? [05:52] yup [05:53] the user control already exists... [05:53] "username" is where you name the account. [05:53] lol [05:53] control_: Make sure you pass the no shell flag [05:53] control_: thatd be because you're it ;-) [05:53] well...that was easy then [05:53] control_: you just need to tell vsftpd that you are a valid user [05:53] Stale_: best can be a poll, but jaunty,karmic,lucid do all fine, and are , due to time being up , more or less de-bugged, but concerning new features an speed, the other way around [05:54] ok so how do i change home folder and crap [05:54] control_: though i suspect it defaults to allowing all non-system users... because defaulting to a whitelist would be rather annoying [05:54] bofh80: Now for the big test. I just rebooted :| [05:54] abhijit, 9.10 [05:54] Yep. Still works :) [05:54] Stale_: which purpose ? [05:54] * monokrome can watch the IT Crowd happily now! [05:54] how do i pull up the sound settings for xubuntu not ubuntu [05:54] control_: if you enabled local users in the config and restarted the server ! then you should already be able to ftp as yourself, it's a nice test to check it's working [05:54] monokrome: eek [05:55] saravan, then go to applications>software center> and search for term vlc then you can see vlc click on install [05:55] I am able to login [05:55] control_: users' home directories are listed in /etc/passwd [05:55] but I want the home folder NOT to be on the servers main disk [05:55] monokrome: nice. [05:55] control_: oh you want to move /home to a different hard drive? [05:55] yes [05:55] control_: no prob [05:55] this is jus a file server [05:55] dont want ftp access to the server, just the HD with my files [05:56] control_: in that case, you need to put in /etc/fstab the disk/partition on which you do want /home to reside, and migrate the dat [05:56] *data [05:56] control_: wait what? [05:56] DasEi: The most stable Ubuntu version as in it will work for most computer machines. I see that Dell PCs hate Linux OS installations. [05:56] migrate dat? [05:56] control_: attach seperate disk, make a dir /home, copy files over if any, correct fstab, there you go [05:56] Thanks for your help, bofh80 [05:56] maco: spit out the command to change a users home dir pls :) [05:56] what? lol [05:56] abhijit, download started dude [05:57] saravan, good [05:57] monokrome: no problem, have fun :) [05:57] bofh80: sudo usermod -d $dir username [05:57] Stale_: not right in this general way, dell comes with ubuntu preinsatlled in cases, so extra fine supported, dell doesn't sell rubbish [05:57] control_: are you trying to put / and /home on separate hard disks or separate machiens? [05:57] im not trying to put anything anywhere [05:57] abhijit, thank you im new to linux,,, by the by ru thr on face book [05:58] control_: setup a user for where you want access too. ie add a user called mydata or another username and then use maco's other command to change where you log into [05:58] i just want the damn home root, the only thing you can see when you login to my ftp user, to be right to a external HD [05:58] saravan, come in pm [05:58] control_: then whyd you say you dont want home on the main hard disk? it has to go *somewhere* [05:58] Stale_: most hardware can be supported in linix, if you compare to win, the variety is much bigger [05:58] Home folder [05:58] <^cheeky> electronics [05:58] not HOME as in the linux users home folder [05:58] So, I'm new to this system, anyone care to walk me through installing Starcraft from a CD rom? X3 [05:58] as in, what you see when you login to the ftp [05:58] i want to install ubuntu server 10.04 with a MINIMALIST GNOME desktop installation, without most of the excess desktop user crap like OpenOffice and music players, etc. Is there a package for this? [05:58] I"m on 10.04 [05:59] you add a user, then change the home folder . don't do it for your user obviously [05:59] 32 bit [05:59] as a wubi installer user, do I have to fear the update manager trying to update grub? [05:59] do it for the one you jsut made for instance [05:59] <^cheeky> specialbats: scII ? [05:59] <^cheeky> :P [05:59] bofh80: oh oh even better: sudo usermod -md $dir username [05:59] It's Starcraft the first. [05:59] bofh80: that migrates the data for you! [05:59] adam45g: little, but more defragmentation of the host-filesystem [05:59] i'm so confused [06:00] I wish it was SCII. :D [06:00] DasEi, I defrag every week :) [06:00] on windows you just set the home dir to what you want the user to see...why is this so freakin hard [06:00] control_: me too. im not sure what you're trying to do [06:00] control_: do you want chrooted ftp'ing? [06:00] ? [06:01] control_ sudo usermod -d /media/externaldrive username (for the user you jsut created, not your user) [06:01] i want only a ftp that goes to a external hard drive, nothing else on the servers ubuntu installation [06:01] control_: like where the user sees a fake "system" but its really all just hiding out in a dir on your system [06:01] !home | control_ [06:01] control_: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [06:01] it's not that hard.. [06:01] DasEi: I must have tried installing a Ubuntu version that was too different from my Dell PC in the wrong way. Okay, I want to know which version number is reported to have the less errors. [06:01] control_: I posted an old vsftp configuration file of mine http://ubuntuone.com/p/CQZ/ [06:01] DasEi: no control_ is just using funny terminology [06:01] yupp [06:01] i dont want to show the users home dir on linux at all [06:01] control_: May help answer some questions [06:02] DasEi: the link you're giving does what he's saying, but its not what he wants [06:02] just a ftp that you use to throw files on my external [06:02] control_: you want to limit the directories the users can access [06:02] yes [06:02] to just the external drive [06:02] control_: You can create a mount point anywhere and point vsftp to it [06:02] control_: is there something in the config file about restricting ? [06:03] and have nothing to do with the linux system [06:03] control_: See the file I posted [06:03] how do i point vsftp for this user to just the z drive or whatever [06:03] anyone know why monit would be giving me this: monit: monit httpd not started since no connect allowed [06:03] Stale_: If it's a newer dell, I'd use lucid in an alternate-installer cd, and of course mind if 386/with or without pae or 64 bit to take, depending on specs [06:03] I uncommented the httpd directive in the conf -- but it doesn't work? [06:03] control_: maybe this link helps? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/vsftp-chroot-users-limit-to-only-their-home-directory.html [06:04] control_: well it wont be called z drive... ;-) but set that drive to mount at say.... /media/ftp [06:04] Stale_: older then 3 years, I'd start with jaunty and dualboot lucid to check [06:04] maco: yes as long as he changed the home dir with the command u posted. for the user he created. but he's being confused [06:04] control_: then set all those users to have /media/ftp/user1 /media/ftp/user2 etc as their home dirs [06:04] control_: and then follow that link i sent [06:05] How do i do it without changing everyones home dir [06:05] i just want to be like in regular windows ftp where you add only the folder you want them to see [06:05] like z:/files/ [06:05] * specialbats is new to the system and would like assistance installing Starcraft from a CD rom in Wine, and is running Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit. [06:05] i dont even want to create linux users, just damn ftp users [06:05] DasEi: ok. I'll try that on my old Dell PC [06:06] control_: you want to limit them to a directory OTHER than their home one? [06:06] yes [06:06] its just to login, and upload files to the external drive [06:06] thats it [06:06] specialbats: checked #winehq for that app ? [06:06] control_: Charoot [06:06] !wine [06:06] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [06:06] charoot? no idea what you mean [06:07] !AppDB > specialbats [06:07] specialbats, please see my private message [06:07] control_: http://ubuntuone.com/p/CQZ/ [06:07] how the hell do u pull up sound configuration in xubuntu cant find it anywhere [06:07] #cyanogenmod === adam_ is now known as adam45g [06:07] control_: there's no difference, by the way. a user is a user is a user. [06:07] i dont understand why... [06:07] Thanks [06:07] no im used to there being a windows user, and a ftp user [06:08] control_: That is chroot is like a jail [06:08] control_: you're not using windows [06:08] like if i install filezilla server on windows, i dont have to create seperate windows users for each ftp user... [06:08] maco: in typical ftp servers on windows boxes, users on the ftp server are 'virtual' [06:08] i know im trying to get the same concept as windows ftp [06:08] control_: chroot (whompapotamus spelled wrong) means "change root" literally. it means that the user cannot see what exists on the system outside their chroot [06:08] specialbats: also use an extar repo for wine, the one coming with ubuntu is fine for little apps, but has nothing to do with wines real possibilities [06:08] bofh80: and this isnt windows... [06:08] I just joined that channel [06:09] <^cheeky> i have 2 HDD , one 160 GB 7200 RPM and the other 7200RPM 1 TB, i want to have windows and ubuntu 10.04 and i am not sure about the partition , would it be beneficial if installed wind7(SCII)/ubuntu10.04 on the 160 GB and then .. umm just use the TB for storage and sharing files .. [06:09] DasEi: How good is the WineHQ application for Ubuntu? [06:09] Ooops, sorry. :3 [06:09] control_: all i can say then, is "too bad" [06:09] maco: On the iPhone - typing hard - correct - you can jail any user to a specific directory [06:09] so in linux i cant just install a ftp server, add a FTP USER, and set his ftp "home dir" (the one he sees when he logs in) to my external drive? [06:09] maco: it's similar for other networking counterparts [06:09] control_: things work differently between "The Windows Way" and "Everything Else" [06:09] Stale_: depends on prog, some run great, others not at all [06:09] the windows way = point, click and crash [06:09] hehe [06:10] well at least the filezilla for windows works for what i need... [06:10] DasEi: thank you. :3 [06:10] all i click is add user, then add dir and set it to the home dir... [06:10] maco: pam, samba, etc etc [06:10] control_: why are you so adamantly against there being accounts on the system for the ftp users? [06:10] specialbats: lucid you said ? [06:10] specialbats: second, repo coming [06:10] seems complicated [06:10] bofh80: those also use the system accounts... [06:10] DasEi: Does the .exe works on WineHQ? [06:11] sorry to bust in with a question but does anyone here know much about the programs rkhunter and chkrootkit from ubuntu software center? [06:11] control_: id consider it simpler. you dont have to muck about making the same account 2 or 3 times... [06:11] control_: Create an FTP user group - and just add users to the group [06:11] !appDB > Stale_ [06:11] Stale_, please see my private message [06:11] maco: the question is, why would want to give ftp users 'real' accounts. it's not how ftp works in general across the web [06:11] you can do that in filezilla too, with just three clicks lol [06:11] bofh80: how is it not, when linux and unix make up the majority of servers on the web? [06:11] i just dont understand why it cant just make virtual ftp users [06:11] abhijit,.. [06:12] ubottu: what are the commands to see private message? [06:12] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [06:12] specialbats: one command, both lines : http://pastebin.com/dkCVwK7E [06:12] saravan, yes? [06:12] control_: look, if you want to use windows, use windows [06:12] control_: if you want to use linux, then learn to use linux [06:12] so to get vsftp to work like i want it to, i have to create a linux user, change its home dir? [06:12] specialbats: sudo apt-get update [06:12] maco: you'll probably find other ftp servers besides vsftp, it's just considered standard really [06:12] i just dont see why linux cant do the same simple thing [06:13] specialbats: sudo apt-get install wine (if not done already) [06:13] bofh80: i use openssh's included one [06:13] bofh80: its been... a year since i last looked at vsftpd config file [06:13] control_: I challenge any windows FTP server against vsftp :) [06:13] all i want is to login to the user i create and see the external drive [06:13] well vsftp you just said cant do that...so... [06:14] control_: it can limit a user to their home dir [06:14] control_: Follow the commands at the end of the file I posted - and you are set [06:14] control_: if you put their home dir on the external, everything's happy [06:14] not have to create a actual computer user and change its home dir [06:14] control_: well theres no *changing* of home dir necessary if you just set the home dir where you want it to start with [06:14] ok [06:15] I'm just trying to learn how to do things I did in windows, in linux [06:15] can anyone provide some information on using rkhunter and chkrootkit from ubuntu software center? If this isn't the right place to be asking then help in locating a good irc channel would be much appreciated. [06:15] http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup-virtual-users-and-directories-in-vsftpd/ [06:16] apparently you can [06:16] woo [06:16] sounds cool [06:16] see you learn something new every day haha [06:16] the thing with linux you soon learn, is you have to read more, but the end result is better than anything you get in windows :) [06:16] control_: takes 3 to 6 months afterwards you will wonder how one could stick to this damned slow popupthingys can't configure anything with :) [06:17] And you can still get the popuptingys with libnotify \o/ [06:17] so if i just follow this guide it should work like i want it to [06:18] virutal users that are not extra users on the linux itself that go to only one folder in the external drive [06:18] hi, peeps - what's the command to run the themes manager? [06:19] crap, problems already [06:19] trying to install 9.04 on a new drive. I have partitioned it. I go into install. I look at the partitions, I say continue. Then it tells me that I havent indicated/established? a root partition. I have absolutely no idea how I would do that. Help. This has been going on for days. I obviously dont know what question to ask. This is the latest "stop point". [06:19] control_: you can have very fine grained acces control under linux : dir/file wise , over the group, the owner, or the filesystem, to call the most standard ones [06:20] I have installed UB many times on a previously used HD [06:20] tripelb-live: how many partitions did you create? [06:20] control@server1:/etc$ sudo htpasswd -c /etc/vsftpd/passwd ftp1 [06:20] htpasswd: cannot create file /etc/vsftpd/passwd [06:21] scunizi: 6. and it called them sdb1, sdb5..sdb10 [06:21] Do i need to create the user ftp1 first? [06:21] on the system itself? [06:21] hey guys~~ [06:21] scunizi: there was no sdb2 etc [06:22] tripelb-live: why so many? at most you need 3 unless you're trying to set a data partition [06:23] scunizi: there was no indication that I had named them /, /home. /d1, 120disk,/d3, /d4 [06:23] control_: http://www.linuxreaders.com/2010/07/14/virtual-users-on-vsftpd-centos/ this is a little more up to date but centos [06:23] com ingreasr a ubuntu es [06:23] hey everyone, anyone know much about apache SSL configuration? [06:24] gremlin_: ya some [06:24] To follow up on my previous comments i have read the read me files for the programs but would like something more of a explanation on what the log results mean when you use rkhunter or chkrootkit. An avid user of the programs that could spare a moment explaining how to interpret the scan logs would be most helpful. [06:24] sacarlson: ah cool, I have 3 IP's, and 3 SSL certificates, I want to use 1 certificate per IP [06:24] but have multiple virtualhosts on each IP [06:24] if that makes sense [06:24] scunizi: I have a bunch of old drives that I am going to copy out and integrate. Especially one 120 G drive that was indicated as "going bad". those are my data partitions [06:25] scunizi: I've never done this on an ubuntu installation before. I thought it would be a good idea [06:25] i've setup the listen for each IP, and created a bunch of virtualhosts.. but it just spews angry errors :( [06:25] control_: you could also try proftp or pureftp. also supposedly with virtual user support [06:25] gremlin_: well I've only setup a single address but can't be much harder [06:26] gremlin_: did you try setup a single one first? [06:26] yeah thats how it was setup on the old server [06:26] used to have 3 VM's for it [06:26] hey, guys - I'm looking for the gnome theme manager and I can't find it, so I'm just looking for the command to run. maverick's search can't find it [06:27] scunizi: how do you indicate a root partition. I thought that was the one I called / == I didnt do anything for swap though. And how big should the boot partition be? [06:27] !maverick | litropy [06:27] litropy: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [06:27] bazhang, it's the same as lucid === andregondim_ is now known as Andre_Gondim [06:28] litropy, the proper channel is #ubuntu+1 nonetheless [06:28] litropy: gnome-appearance-properties [06:28] sacarlson: Hmm, I just changed something around and it didnt die this time... [06:28] gremlin_: well what errors do we see then. ok cool [06:28] it was a very generic.. non.. useful error, haha [06:29] i have been googling it for a while [06:29] scunizi: are we still in process? [06:30] gremlin_: oh ya that generic.. non.. error very common...... not [06:30] sacarlson: Haha, I had closed the log.. "Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured" [06:30] can someone direct me to the proper irc channel for software based questions particularly regarding rkhunter and chkrootkit? This current channel is clearly not even close... [06:31] I had certificates configured, but it wasn't happy for some reason [06:31] so i removed my IP specific listen lines, and enabled a global listen [06:32] gremlin_: well i guess I would need to look at your config to have any hope to help but that would be a security risk [06:32] sacarlson: I'll PM you [06:34] Can anyone see my messages? [06:35] sarge1221: nope, theyre in invisible ink [06:35] sarge1221: youre going to want a security channel, i think [06:35] sarge1221: ask alis [06:35] OH so thats why the channel search bot is named alis! "go ask alis" [06:38] is there a music player that i can play my mp3s and listen to my ipod like itunes? === redhat is now known as CaptainKnots [06:39] ????

[06:42] im installing it right now to try it [06:42] Wiesshund: its in the ubuntu repos [06:42] w00t [06:42] control_, if u want a quick and easy ftpd server use pure-ftpd. [06:42] i even created the user, gave him admin, changed his home dir, AND put a password on it [06:42] omg [06:42] JackStoner the video is? [06:42] so vsftp is useless or? [06:42] i was told to follow this guide, and i am... [06:42] * RealOpty thinks its crap [06:42] Wiesshund: sorry ...here http://www.learntosubnet.com/ipaddressing/IPAddressing_files/intro.htm#nopreload=1&TOCEntry=1 [06:43] Wiesshund: http://www.learntosubnet.com/License_IPAddressing.htm [06:43] JackStoner lol stupid script, web designer didnt think ahead [06:43] so...no one knows what im doing wrong? [06:43] Quick question: Does anyone here know how to get Openfire running properly on 10.04? [06:43] Wiesshund: i know...but i need to watch that...any ideas? [06:44] JackStoner maybe, 1 sec [06:44] Wiesshund: thnks === RLindsayIV is now known as RossIV [06:45] omg this is unreal...i follow what you said and....nothing [06:45] RealOpty: I just use openssh to do secure ftp no setup needed just load. oh and maybe setup port forwarding [06:45] does it let you set a damn home directory? [06:45] other then the fing linux user dir [06:47] it seems as though my hd never goes to sleep... can i set it to rest automatially? the setting in pwr management is set to sleep after a while [06:47] t-flo: study the options of hdparm (carefully!)

[06:49] RealOpty: drag drop in nautilus [06:49] JackStoner it still may not display right, the page is written IE specific [06:49] sacarlson, nice. i didnt know that. [06:49] !info smartmontools | t-flo, could also be of interest [06:49] t-flo,: smartmontools (source: smartmontools): control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In component main, is optional. Version 5.38-3ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 323 kB, installed size 804 kB [06:49] sacarlson, tell me how to mount it like that. [06:50] Wiesshund: i dont know why this guy was so biased towards IE...well, giving it a shot [06:50] RealOpty: places>connect server>ssh [06:50] ahhh [06:50] RealOpty: gui dude [06:50] JackStoner not so much biased as the tools he used probably, its some kind of MS Office presentation [06:51] Wiesshund: it doesnt throw the error but i dont see anything [06:51] sacarlson, lol im a cli person my self but i dont think my embedded device supports that. [06:51] JackStoner so it depends or atleast thinks it does, on certain part of IE being available [06:51] sacarlson, maybe i need some kind of addon to dropbear. [06:51] well...thanks anyways...i'll just visit cisco's site...should have info there [06:51] RealOpty: you can mount it with command lines too but you'll have to google it [06:51] hello [06:52] I'm just checking out irssi [06:52] sacarlson, damn sftp isnt working on the device. [06:52] * RealOpty googles [06:52] JackStoner http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu [06:53] RealOpty: if you system suports files systems then it should work [06:53] hey, anybody have any ideas how to script (or if something exists) to evaluate IF FILE A EXISTS ON B DELETE B sort of thing [06:54] Wiesshund: that's for edgy, there is least jaunty on the same server [06:54] anyone knows to vertical flip a webcam in ubuntu? [06:54] RealOpty: once mounted it's just cd /yourmountpoint [06:54] JackStoner: and also consider newer wine if you want to go that way [06:54] Wiesshund: thanks...i dont think its worth getting IE...its just one page, dont wanna get wine involved :P [06:55] bump [06:55] DasEi: i have wine1.2 running office 2007. [06:55] DasEi will it matter much being a wine app? [06:56] Wiesshund: as there are different repos set up, I think so [06:56] JackStoner do you know how long the vid is supposed to be? [06:56] so [06:56] I installed Ubuntu 10 64-bit on my test system at work [06:56] I'm the ONLY person running 64-bit there [06:56] JackStoner: wine 1.2 version 1.4.... should do fine [06:56] everyone else is running 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10, cept one person is running 32-bit Ubuntu 10 [06:57] anyone else having trouble changing to static ip ? [06:57] on ubuntu 10.4 [06:57] Four2zero: did you get my script to go static? [06:57] I remove network manager. [06:57] no. [06:57] Ameisen i had 10.04 64-bit. i only switched to 32bit because i dont have 4gig ram [06:57] how much RAM did you have? [06:58] You have to remember, the extra memory access is not the only advantage 64-bit offers. [06:58] To access 64-bit registers, you must be in long mode (64-bit) [06:58] 64bit ran fine if i singles tasked and conserved my ram (2gig) [06:58] can you post a link, i will give it a try now that network-manager is uninstalled. [06:58] hmm/ [06:58] * JackStoner away [06:58] I've never tried using a 64-bit linux kernel on a low memory system [06:58] so, it might have weird memory issues with it. [06:59] Four2zero: this is what I use if I want to go static if already booted http://paste.ubuntu.com/476781/ [06:59] Whenever I have mencoder encode to a FIFO file, then try to play the stream (the fifo file) with mplayer, it works fine, but only the FIRST TIME. Any subsequent time I try to play the FIFO file, Mplayer errors saying "Cannot seek backward in linear streams! Seek failed" -- would anyone know why ? [06:59] sacarlson, do i need to make any changes ? [07:00] it ran fine mostly, just wasnt enough memory for it is all. no errors with it or anything. a few things i couldnt find 64bit drivers/software for but thats the same with any OS [07:00] Four2zero: ya youl have to setup the number you used in your static stuf [07:00] unfortunately, the least RAM i've ever run a 64-bit OS on was 2gb, and that wasn't Linux [07:00] worked fine though. [07:00] Four2zero: take out that if then stuf that was added later [07:01] Ameisen: why shouldn't it [07:01] Bossmanbeta: Do you understand what a fifo is? That's exactly how fifo's will behave with any application. [07:01] Ameisen it was fine, i just wanted to run more things that i had the ram for in 64bit is all [07:02] At work, my system has 8GiB, but by default came with a 32-bit kernel (with PAE enabled though) [07:02] all the stuff in /etc/network/interface [07:02] So, I could address the 8GiB (up to 64), but a single process could only use up to 4 [07:02] Jordan_U, I suppose I don't exactly understand. It works only the first time, but not any subsequent time -- any way to correct/compensate for that? [07:02] well, 2.5 [07:02] 3.5* [07:02] Bossmanbeta: What is your actual end goal? [07:02] when i got some money to waste on extra ram for home, ill spend the 10 minutes to put it back to 64bit [07:03] Jordan_U, to stream live tv from a hauppauge card over ssh ... and I don't want to use VLC. [07:03] Jordan_U: got ideas how to vertical flip webcam image in ubuntu? [07:03] scriptwarlock: No. [07:03] what's the procedure for adding raid/lvm support after the system has been installed? I've been running lvm for a long time. I have now pvmoved my volume group over to a raid device, rebooted, and it won't boot. It says the devices does not exist, dropping to shell. [07:03] scriptwarlock tip the camera upside down? [07:04] Jordan_U: :) the quickest way but thats not the issue [07:04] if I do "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1; mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sdb2 and drop out of the shell, the system boots normally [07:04] Jordan_U: opps xsend [07:04] Jordan_U, It works reliably 100% the first time... just trying to keep it working any time I try to netcat the stream on the client side [07:05] Weisshund: lol the quickest way :) but thats not the issue [07:05] scriptwarlock what you trying to do? [07:05] Jordan_U, Taking netcat out of it, doing it locally - it also fails after the 1st time. Mplayer cries with the same error. [07:05] TrentonAdams: Run "sudo update-grub" and "sudo update-initramfs -uk all" [07:05] I have a mythbuntu 10.04 system thats having some weird problems, basically it seems to decide what services to start at boot pretty much randomly [07:05] fg [07:05] Weisshund: i mounted my webcam upside and like to know if we have options to vertical flip [07:06] I'm guessing its because it is only connected by wireless and its related somehow to that coming up [07:06] maco, hi [07:06] scriptwarlock not built in options that i know of, no. [07:06] eg this time around cron apache and postfix werent started [07:07] Weisshund: cheese and guvcview can do that but on messengers and anything else it was inverted i heard about vflip but dunno if it excist in lucid [07:07] Valen: randomly for sure not, install bum and use it for unneeded ones, and check the /etc/init/* files [07:07] Bossmanbeta: Where is the fifo and what commands are you using for mplayer and mencoder? [07:07] !bum [07:07] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [07:07] it is defiantly random [07:07] 50% of the time I get apache [07:07] its a clean install [07:07] scriptwarlock you could always try a karmic version of it and see i guess. some karmic stuff works some doesnt. === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [07:08] Help please.... How do I enable PUT requests on my ubuntu server? [07:08] Weisshund: nah cant use that on my cyber shop [07:08] Valen: there are certain modules invoking others, lsmod can tell you more [07:08] Jordan_U, On the server: Step 1: mkfifo teevee.avi Step 2: mencoder /dev/video0 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=800 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr=128 -of avi -o ./teevee.avi [07:08] scriptwarlock cant you rework the mount for the web cam? [07:09] it doesn't seem to be module related, all hardware is working fine [07:09] Jordan_U, Step 3: mplayer ./teevee.avi [07:09] I have a problem with Update manager: "The package 'brscan' is in an inconsistent state and needs to be resinstalled, but no archive can be found for it. Do you want to remove it now to continue?" [07:09] When I click 'yes' it whirls away, but doesn't remove it. I'm offered to reinstall it. However, I cannot as dpkg complains [07:09] its like some Catch-22 [07:09] Jordan_U, this is all local... I really want to do it with netcat, but of course it fails locally with the same error on the 2nd try... so it's an mencoder/mplayer issue not netcat. [07:10] Bossmanbeta: I don't see where ssh is coming into play, or what the advantage is to using a fifo (given that you apparently want the file to be saved on disk). [07:10] I can not remove it [07:10] Jordan_U, I get it working locally & with netcat only on the first try. [07:10] or re-install it [07:10] Weisshund: of course i can but i have a purpose to mount like this way for the purpose of a fix location [07:10] Jordan_U, I don't want the file saved to disk [07:10] Jordan_U, I am trying to stream live TV to myself [07:10] Jordan_U, But encoded to save bandwidth. [07:10] Weisshund: got no flips on v4l-conf [07:11] sacarlson, what needs to be edited in your script ? [07:11] Jordan_U, I could encode it to a regular file, but in a few days I'd have huge files.. this is a thing I want to turn on and forget about and tap into the stream (fifo) on demand [07:11] ubottu: i knew about update-rc.d, bum is new, thanx [07:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:12] aruntomar: ubott.. is the channel ro-bot [07:12] !brain > aruntomar [07:12] aruntomar, please see my private message [07:12] Jordan_U, SSH comes into play when trying to tap into the fifo. Fifo is a local affair .. the only way to get it to transfer on a network is via netcat (I think that's the only way...) [07:12] scriptwarlock best suggestion i can give is to mod the mount or webcam then, if you cant flip the incoming video. Or open it up and flip the CCCD [07:13] Bossmanbeta: Your problem is that just like with a normal pipe, the command sending will quit when the command receiving quits. [07:13] scriptwarlock: i think cheese has an option for it [07:13] Jordan_U, On netcat, yes... but take netcat out of it [07:13] Weisshund: yeah dunno if i can add some little hacks on v4l to add flip options [07:14] Four2zero: well you need three addresses an IP a gateway and a dns address those all have to be changed. you will also need a custom resolve.conf file that overwrites the one that dhcp changes [07:14] Jordan_U: Okay, the update-grub is obviously what I needed, seeing it added the insmod lines for me. One other thing though. It put my old boot partition uuid back in. [07:14] Bossmanbeta: Ass a test to illustrate this open two terminals, in one run "mkfifo test.fifo; cat > test.fifo" in the other run "cat test.fifo" and start typing into the first terminal. [07:14] Jordan_U, this works fine when playing the fifo locally, or via netcat.. but only the first time. Then if I close mplayer (locally or via netcat) and try again (if remote, re-engaging netcat) mplayer gives that error [07:14] http://pastebin.com/C1Dut4Lr [07:14] Jordan_U: My new boot partition is on raid. [07:14] DasEi: excatly but not on messengers and skype and empathy [07:15] Bossmanbeta because when you stop mplayer the input stops sending [07:15] TrentonAdams: Now ctrl+c to quit the cat that is "reading", and try typing more lines into the first terminal. [07:15] hey guys! I will soon be the proud owner of a new system76 laptop, their ultraportable. I would really like to get an SSD, but they are so expensive (SSDs in general), that if I got one it would have to be a mere 40GB. This will likely be enough for my apps and system stuff, but certainly not enough for my music collection (20GB or so) and the movies that I'd want to keep on there. I do however have a computer with ample storage runn [07:15] Lucid at home. My question is, how can I "virtually mount" the hard drive and attached drives of my Lucid computer at home on my laptop? In effect I want my own personal storage cloud. I'm open to all suggestions. I was thinking something like VPN? Thanks so much in advance! [07:15] scriptwarlock: ic, then you approach is more promising, idk the needed syntax for it though [07:15] Jordan_U: You meant that message for someone else [07:16] Bossmanbeta: Now ctrl+c to quit the cat that is "reading", and try typing more lines into the first terminal. [07:16] Wiesshund, so when I tell mencoder to transcode to a fifo, then play the fifo ... once I kill the player (mplayer), mencoder dies ? [07:16] I have a problem with Update manager: "The package 'brscan' is in an inconsistent state and needs to be resinstalled, but no archive can be found for it. Do you want to remove it now to continue?" [07:16] When I click 'yes' it whirls away, but doesn't remove it. I'm offered to reinstall it. However, I cannot as dpkg complains [07:16] Jordan_U: we were discussing the booting off raid [07:16] DasEi: tried udevadm but no vflip options [07:16] http://pastebin.com/C1Dut4Lr [07:16] Bossmanbeta thats the basic gist of it, thats how a fifo works [07:17] Bossmanbeta: You'll notice that the cat that is "writing" to the fifo will also quit. That is what is happening to mencoder, once mplayer stops reading mencoder quits. [07:17] choomra: nas should be fastest, next samba, then ssh and ftp [07:17] !nas [07:17] !nas | choomra [07:17] livingdaylight you try using synaptic package manager? [07:17] Jordan_U, yes I see that [07:17] BAH HUMBUG [07:17] Bossmanbeta: Depending on what exactly you want, just putting mencoder into a while loop may solve your problem. [07:17] I don't want mencoder to quit ! :) [07:18] Wiesshund, update manager has thrown a red circle with a white dash, like the highway code symbol on my panel. Clicking on it its tried to resolve it. [07:18] I need some help Multi-booting on a Mac. The goal is OSX, XP, and Ubuntu, it is on a friends mac [07:18] Jordan_U, I'm not super great in scripting.. not sure how to do while loops, or what condition I'd put in the while loop [07:18] Wiesshund, basically it says that I need to reinstall and/or remove brscan - but I can't [07:18] livingdaylight not the update manager, the package manager. you can fix broken packages etc in there [07:18] DasEi: thanks. Would nas do what I want it to do? Is there an easy and native way to do this in Ubuntu? (I don't need a GUI). [07:19] http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Install_FreeNAS [07:19] Jordan_U, and Wiesshund you both got my idea .. I just want mencoder to remain persistent so that I can remotely run mplayer in that fifo stream at-will [07:19] After installing 10.04 Grub can't find my Windows 7. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1452503&page=2 shows a solution, but will this work when my entire Ubuntu install is on an encrypted volume? /boot is not encrypted, but everything else is. [07:19] any suggestions? [07:19] SO I can watch TV remotely at any time via netcat (without fussing with VLC) [07:19] choomra: are this 100 or giga nics ? [07:20] any idea why my swap could have disappeared when upgrading to 10.04? [07:20] My question is partitioning of the HDD [07:20] Wiesshund, I'm getting the same messages: E: the package brscan3 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: internal error opening cache (1) Please report [07:20] tasslehoff: What actually happens when you try to boot windows from grub? [07:20] Jordan_U, What condition would I put in the while loop? I can read up on how to script a while loop [07:20] choomra: unles you use a switch to connect the two boxes, need a crossovercable for this, when using 100 mb nicks, tuning their parameters can increase their thrughput massivly [07:20] livingdaylight can you mark it for complete removal? [07:21] kittenvsdinosaur: upgrading is often accompanied with unpredictable issues, just re-add it to /etc/fstab and move on .. [07:21] TrentonAdams: You will probably want to re-install grub to the mbr as well, and reconfigure where it's installed by default on upgrades. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" will do both. [07:21] Jordan_U: Windows isn't shown in Grub at all. I have to press 'shift' at boot to get the Grub menu. [07:21] 72.174.53.227 is using Gatecrasher on port 6969to probe my system. [07:22] Wiesshund, I click 'ok' and synaptic closes [07:22] 72.174.53.227 is using Gatecrasher on port 6969 to probe my system. [07:22] DasEi: I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but it is an externally (USB2) attached 1TB sata drive, and the computer connects via wireless N. I don't really follow your second post, but I don't want to buy any extra hardware. [07:22] tasslehoff: That solution will not help you then as it's for a different problem. [07:22] ilovefairuz, I would if I knew which partition my swap is [07:22] So how do you go about fixing the flash plugin on x64 10.04 to let you click on flash content?

[07:23] Wiesshund, if your big idea is synaptic fogged it [07:23] livingdaylight: did your try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall brscan" in terminal? Or "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [07:23] choomra: even better, if its an external hd, don't need any of the previous told, can just mount it;; I got you so, you wanted to connect the laptop to the desktop-PC and access it's internal hd [07:23] How can I play wmv files in ubuntu?? I've installed all the codecs. It's even getting played on VLC but not on Totem.

TIA! [07:25] hidaemon [07:25] chemical-death, its a .deb file [07:25] Jordan_U: Thanks for the tip, though that wasn't my problem. For some reason, it was still pulling the id off my old boot partition. I just wiped it with zeros and update-grub is working fine now. [07:25] ilovefairuz, (I got asked whether I wanted to wait for /dev/mapper/swap to show up on boot, said no, and it booted fine without a swap) [07:25] kittenvsdinosaur: try it from there? [07:25] How can I play wmv files in ubuntu?? I've installed all the codecs. It's even getting played on VLC but not on Totem. [07:25] Jordan_U: what is different about the problem in the post except that he installed Windows after Ubuntu whereas I did it the other way around? [07:25] DasEi: External yes, but it would be nice to get to the internal one too. And yes, I want to be able to mount my external/internal harddrive that lives at home, on my laptop from anywhere. I already use DynDNS and have anywhere SSH access, but that doesn't do much in the way of mounting hard drives. [07:25] justSimplyBob: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JasonRibeiro/AppleIntelInstallation [07:25] Jordan_U: I ran the command you suggested anyhow, just to make sure things were setup right, so it would write to both partitions and what not.

[07:26] Jordan_U: So, it probably helped alleviate some future problem. hehe [07:26] Jordan_U: Thanks for the help [07:26] I'm using a wegt54g with dd-wrt as a wireless bridge. It was working OK but today I started playing with it and I chose another network. Now I cant go back to my network because I cant access the bridge.

[07:26] Jordan_U: the boot flag isn't set for the ntfs-partition on my system either [07:26] kittenvsdinosaur: is your issue only swap or not being able to access the disk at all ?

[07:27] Krishnandu: looking in the software center with 'grstreamer ffmpeg' ypu should be able [07:27] choomra: for the later, use samba (easier to configure, more common) or NAs (slightly faster ~10-15%) [07:27] chemical-death, sudo dpkg --reinstall brscan3-0.2.11-2.i386.deb ? [07:27] xangua, I think I've it already..!! Coz it's getting played on VLC not on Totem [07:27] ilovefairuz, my installation is on the same hard drive (/dev/sda), so reading is just fine. fdisk refuses to do anything with it though so I can't double check which partition is my swap (I'm guessing /dev/sda5 but eh...) [07:27] livingdaylight: did you try just with "sudo dpkg -i filename" [07:27] DasEi: But it's not an option for me, and this is not a really portable xHD. Is there no easy way to do what I'm looking to accomplish? Speed is not one of my primary concerns so much as reliability and simplicity are. [07:27] Krishnandu, we heard the question the first three times is what I meant [07:28] TrentonAdams: You shouldn't be installing grub to any partitions. [07:28] chemical-death, i fear no one is listening [07:28] kittenvsdinosaur, ohh..!! [07:28] yes, choomra: [07:28] !smba [07:28] !samba [07:28] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[07:28] how do you stop a program from the command line? [07:28] tasslehoff: Does "sudo os-prober" provide any output? [07:28] works same with linux-boxes, choomra [07:28] kittenvsdinosaur: boot live cd and check it, but fdisk not acessing it is probably an indicator of a more serious issue, check permissions of the dev file [07:28] jaybird you mean the kill command? [07:29] livingdaylight: try "sudo dpgk --purge brscan" [07:29] jaybird: killall namehre [07:29] sacarlson: any ideas? [07:29] yeah, rythmbox isn't opening [07:29] on a related issue, is there a way to reserve some memory and cpu for root? I recently had some memory leak issues with firefox, and had to wait for it to get OOMed because I couldn't do anything while it was trashing... [07:29] xangua, yes it's already installed [07:29] jaybird run top, to get the PID and kill the process [07:29] DasEi: Well I don't really need Windows interoperability, as both of these are modern Ubuntu boxes. Once set up, can I browse files on samba drives in Nautilus just like a normal hard drive? [07:29] ilovefairuz, yeah it's a bit worrisome [07:29] choomra: I won't use swat, just install samba on the desktop, once configure it ( and also secure it), then can access from laptop [07:29] Jordan_U: nothing [07:29] chemical-death, http://pastebin.com/t5hAsm8y [07:29] works same with linux-boxes, choomra [07:29] Jordan_U: I meant the mbr, I'm tired [07:29] Wiesshund: jaybird: no need to get pid, use killall or pkill [07:30] choomra: yes [07:30] k [07:30] tasslehoff: Are all of your ntfs partitions mountable? [07:30] Jordan_U: I'm tired, maybe I should stop now before I really screw something up. hehe [07:30] DasEi: I see that now. That sounds like the best bet for me then! Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if I've any other questions :) [07:30] Any other way out guys?? Should I try reinstalling that plugin??

[09:52] lov2555 [09:52] kiamo maybe its from wlan related.. [09:52] !sound > Magix [09:52] Magix, please see my private message [09:52] But in other applications it does work.

[09:53] ilovefairuz: My sound overall does work. Except Opera and Firefox. [09:54] lov2555» i can't "type the password" because i can't get to the machine via vnc to do so before i type the password. i have to go to the machine and connect a keyboard and display and type the password... THEN i can VNC to it and do whatever, until the next time i restart [09:54] eh [09:54] my safe-upgrade doesn't work on ubuntu netbook remix. Any ideas? It hangs while "generating grub.cfg" and even a reboot doesn't help (will hang on the exact same place at the next upgrade) [09:54] why does the default irc channel have to be this :/ [09:54] Magix: flash videos?

I don't see how these two are any different. It is driving me crazy.. aaaarrgghh!! [10:46] ilyekkakai, You've answered your own question. [10:47] adac: what packages have you installed for java? [10:47] Gnea: With awk, is there a way to ignore a char? I get "0:" when I want to get just "0", since 0: is one word. [10:47] ilyekkakai: can you pastebin the output of ls -la in the folder where the mp3's are? [10:47] ilovefairuz, ls /usr/lib/jvm/ [10:47] default-java java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4 java-1.6.0-openjdk java-6-openjdk java-6-sun java-6-sun-1.6.0.20 [10:47] ilyekkakai: non ascii characters in the file names? [10:48] Yank, is that just cd etc/X11, then mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak? if so, it says i cannot move it: read-only system [10:48] sudo mv [10:48] kk [10:48] you need root rights under /etc/X11 [10:49] same problem [10:49] cd /etc/X11 [10:49] mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.ol [10:49] i'm there [10:49] sudo [10:49] Slart, It worked! Thanks! :D [10:49] MadRobot: yay [10:49] michaelzemel, Mate, are you not using sudo or su? [10:49] MadRobot: you're welcome [10:49] Yank, I am. I got a strange error on start up [10:50] adac: dpkg --get-selections | grep java [10:50] let me reboot to find it and post it here [10:50] michaelzemel, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [10:50] A strange error? [10:50] Right. [10:51] ilovefairuz, http://pastie.org/1087950 [10:51] hi, how can I add a user to an existing usergroup [10:51] * abhijit is reading The Stranger in the Mirror [10:51] two things. "rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/urandom/random-seed': read-only file system" & "chown: changing ownership of '/tmp/.X11-unix': Read-only file system" [10:51] how do I remove all symlinks from a dir and leave ALL other file there? [10:52] adac: seems you have no jdk install, only a jre indeed [10:52] !java | adac [10:52] adac: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [10:52] greetings all, I am looking for a simple bandwidth monitoring app that will collect all the usage and mail it daily. This must include the port and traffic according to the port. I have looked as ipband and iftop but both have failed. vnStat looks very nice but does not seem to support port usage. I am running ntop on server currently but its a bit of an overkill. Cacti/nagios/zabbix also is too over top top. Any simple sug [10:52] Gnea: Never mind, found it [10:52] roxlu_, go to system>administration>users and groups cilck on manage groups. then click on group then and select the checkbox to add user [10:52] adac: although i prefer openjdk, sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk [10:53] ilovefairuz, ahh I see :) [10:53] Can someone tell me if there is an alternative to dpkg-buildpackage, to build .deb files? [10:53] michaelzemel, Boot with your liveCD, and do a check/repair on the filesystem. It appears that when your "game" crashed, it corrupted the file system - hence your issues. [10:53] thx a lot [10:53] Ok, i'll do that. i'm preparing ubuntu on a memory stick as we speak [10:53] Bacon, apt-get build-dep [10:53] michaelzemel, Right. I'm getting coffee. [10:54] abhijit: Bacon: this installs build dependencies, doesn't build packages [10:54] ilovefairuz, hmm [10:54] Bacon: why do you want an alternative? === remoteaccess is now known as galusr [10:55] ilovefairuz: i'm looking for something more specialized to perl packages [10:55] What is wrong in my fstab? Please have a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/476848/ [10:55] ilovefairuz: i'm beginning with .deb and i'd like to know all the possibilities, to understand better the building process [10:55] abhijit: read the manual [10:55] Slart, here is the output - as you can see all permissions are the same - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/VckRDkJu - (sorry I keep getting disconnected from the internet, my connection is being suck) [10:55] ilovefairuz, he wants it not me. [10:56] Which version of ubuntu would be nice on a laptop with 128mb ram, 800mhz Celeron, and an ati rage pro with....xubuntu? [10:56] ilovefairuz: I read debians documentation and I now have a good understanding of what is a .deb file, but I'm still looking for more knowledge about the tools used to build thelm [10:56] Yud_Zroc, Can you put more RAM in it? [10:56] ilyekkakai: and which files are giving you problems? [10:56] Bacon: the debian website has guides for interpreted languages like perl and ruby, including some scripts to build packages from cpan or gems [10:56] Yud_Zroc: I guess xbuntu would be best [10:57] 128mb of RAM. That's really really pushing it. [10:57] Slart, track 15 and track 16 only. [10:57] ilovefairuz: ok i'll look for them, thank you! [10:57] Date stamp of 1996 [10:57] abhijit: i was referring to apt-get build-dep [10:57] Unless you use an old version - not 10.04 - it's going to die. [10:57] Yud_Zroc, In all reality, look into PuppyLinux or DSL for that machine. Hate to tell ya that. [10:57] ilovefairuz, ok. [10:57] Its for just typing and school for my little bro just starting high school [10:58] anyone know how to install opencv in ubuntu? [10:58] Slart, I mean, number 18 and 19 in the pastebin [10:58] Yud_Zroc: lubuntu [10:58] ilyekkakai: hmm..not 11, 12 ? the only two with ' in the titles? [10:58] Lubuntu? [10:58] !lubuntu | Yud_Zroc [10:58] Yud_Zroc: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [10:59] Yank, thanks so much for your help. I did sudo fsck (seeing it saying i should do it manually on the quick start up screen) and it brought me back to my gui [10:59] i'm good [10:59] ilyekkakai: ok.. they look like the rest to me.. strange.. have you tried running rhythmbox from a terminal just to see if it prints out any kind of error message when you try changing the tags? [10:59] Slart, nope [10:59] Slart, no. [10:59] ubuntu 8 runs darkstat 2.6 by default, how can i update to darkstat 3 via apt? [10:59] maco, you around? [10:59] ilyekkakai: if that doesn't work I would try another tag editor.. easytag is quite ok imho [10:59] adv_: apt? what do you need opencv for? [11:00] ilyekkakai: sudo apt-get install exfalso ... great tool for tagging [11:00] soreau, no pkg [11:00] hi i've problem with yofrankie the game [11:00] Can't view says server down [11:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/476859/* [11:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/476859/ [11:01] Slart, ok I will see if Rhythmbox spits anything out into the terminal, then I will look into other methods of retagging... === SindreK is now known as Ghostly [11:01] michaelzemel, Coolbeans. Good on ya. [11:01] adv_: What is telling you that? [11:01] how make firerox to automatically select the address as that of chrome? [11:01] walilo: that's a segfault/crash .. report a bug.. join #ubuntu-bugs for help on how to do that [11:02] abhijit: alt + d? [11:02] ilovefairuz, no [11:02] Yud_Zroc, Mate, have you read any of the specs and requirements for any of the distros? I'd suggest going to www.distrowatch, looking for PuppyLinux or DSL. You've only got 128mb of RAM. [11:02] thank you ilovefairuz [11:02] hi room. How do I kill X when it has frozen? (can't do reboot as I am doing a backup of the system - because it freezes from time to time!) [11:02] abhijit: how do you mean "select" it? [11:02] ilovefairuz, after pressing ald + d when i typr 'my' then firefox dumb give me address of myspace and tell me to select it . but i hwant IT to automatically select it [11:03] trond-: crtl + alt + print screen/sysreq key + k [11:03] i have a odd problem, i have re installed ubuntu but when i boot only the command line grub> appears [11:03] ilovefairuz, nope, no can do [11:03] Slart, nothing unusual happened in terminal... All I am trying to do is change a word from all uppercase to lowercase... [11:03] trond-: ? [11:03] ilovefairuz, does not react to it. [11:04] ilovefairuz, you got my problem> [11:04] Ghostly, off chance of this working. Hit quit to get back to the command line and then login and type sudo fsck... [11:04] trond-: can you switch to a terminal ? ctrl + alt + f2 .. or f7 to come back here.. login and do .. sudo killall Xorg [11:04] ilyekkakai: well.. give easytag a go.. see if can do it [11:04] ilovefairuz, I have connected to the computer via ssh, so I can control it from there [11:04] ilovefairuz, ctrl + alt + f2 nope. also not ctrl + alt + backspace [11:04] trond-, "killall -9 Xorg" [11:05] abhijit: yes but not sure firefox can do this [11:05] i have a really REALLY slow inter net connection. So anyone know a terminal web browser for ubuntu ? [11:05] ilovefairuz, ohh [11:05] OY1R: links, lynx [11:05] OY1R: links [11:05] Slart, it is weird, because it looks like it has worked when I do it in Rhythmbox, then exactly 3 seconds later, it reverts back to the old uppercase version. [11:05] Also: could someone take a look at this: http://pastebin.org/475026 it's output of dmesg after the computer froze. [11:05] OY1R, lynx linux w3m [11:06] OY1R: although I suspect that disabling images and other "fancy stuff" in firefox might be just as fast [11:06] OY1R: or install opera and turn on "turbo" it will compress everything, but you're trade off privacy [11:07] ilyekkakai: I've never had that happen to me.. although I've never used rhythmbox so it might be some kind of bug/feature .. [11:07] YankDownUnder, thanks for that command, but not much happened. :/ hm, what I thought was a xorg problem seems to be related to something else. [11:07] i'm looking for a minimal linux based on ubuntu [11:07] well only grub starts so i can't log inn, the only thing grob does is showing me the command line for grub (probably got the ter for it wrong) [11:07] Parsi: with or without gui? [11:07] is getting kde as simple as installing kubuntu desktop package? [11:07] ilovefairuz: with gui [11:07] Parsi: lubuntu or xubuntu.. both with X [11:07] since i modified my fstab the mount works bad. Please have a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/476848/ [11:07] !grub2 > Ghostly [11:07] Ghostly, please see my private message [11:07] sunabozu: yes [11:07] ? [11:07] Slart: thanks [11:08] Parsi: lubuntu [11:08] how easy is it to switch between window managers? [11:08] sunabozu, matter of seconds :P [11:08] i don't know [11:08] cool [11:08] sunabozu: I think there is a button or dropdown list at the login screen to select what to run.. not 100% sure though [11:08] sunabozu: in gdm login screen, you'll find an option to select it [11:08] North_Italian69, Remove the modifications you've made and start again. [11:09] is it a bad sign to have 32704 free when calling the free command? (does not look that much to me, really) [11:09] North_Italian69: I can't see anything wrong with it.. can you describe what you mean by "works bad" ? are there any error messages? [11:09] trond-: use free -m to see the data in MegaByte [11:09] trond-: unused memory is wasted memory.. [11:09] trond-: pastebin [11:10] how can I get my wireless connected from the commandline? [11:10] tktiddle: iwconfig [11:10] thanks for the tips. [11:10] tktiddle: cnetworkmanager [11:10] trond-: linux in general uses all the memory it can get it's grubby little hands on.. mostly for caching files and such.. that memory is returned as soon as an application needs it though so it's nothing to worry about [11:10] the drive i installed ubuntu i set as slave does that affect the grub? [11:10] ilovefairuz, pastebin: http://pastebin.org/475026 [11:10] oops.. *its [11:10] iceroot: iwconfig doesn't support wpa(2) [11:10] !ram | trond- [11:10] trond-: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [11:11] ilovefairuz: with the wpa-client it should [11:11] Slart, I c. Thanks for explaining. So having 33mb left is nothing to worry about then. [11:11] trond-: report a bug, join #ubuntu-bugs for help on that [11:11] Slart: few things. from panel/places i can see only mounted device and not all like before, second i cant moun a foppy via gui, only by shell [11:12] trond-: there is another number at the same screen.. +/- buffers or something like that.. that's a better indication [11:12] i am a newer [11:12] 我想知道用人说中文吗 [11:12] !cn | tone [11:12] !cn | tone [11:12] tone: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [11:12] :( [11:13] My wireless is normally controlled by networkmanager and connects automatically is there somway to activate it when I just have a terminal (trying to rescue system) [11:13] tktiddle: sudo apt-get install cnetworkmanager [11:13] and then: cnetworkmanager [11:13] 中文。。？ [11:13] Slart, I'll paste that to a pastebin in case someone wants to have a look. This is the second freezup today, and the 5th in two days. Annoying: You bet!!! [11:13] trond-: here's the output from my machine http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/476866/ .. I've got 212 MB free.. but on the second line is the number if you ignore the cache/buffers.. that says I've got 6456 MB free.. [11:14] tktiddle: you'll be able to reuse your connection settings [11:14] china [11:14] kind of need a network connection to install :( [11:15] Slart, this is mine: http://pastebin.org/475035 [11:15] trond-: you've got 572 MB free if you disregard the memory used for buffers.. that's ok [11:15] hola [11:16] tktiddle: are you using wep or wpa encryption ? [11:16] Slart, ok. So I can leave 'low-memory' as a cause for freezing computer then. [11:16] Slart, I have dicovered something even more bizarre.. those two files, now say the correct tags when viewed in easytag, but when opened in Rhythmbox, they have reverted to the old tags.... === Cleo_ is now known as Cleo [11:17] ilyekkakai: v1 vs. v2 tags? [11:17] trond-: I think so, yes.. unless it happens when you try to run several virtualbox vm's at once or some other memory hungry thing [11:17] how do I edit my apt sources list so I can install the latest version of Git? [11:17] ilovefairuz, what is v1 and v2 tags? [11:17] ilyekkakai: perhaps one of the programs is using v1 and the other one is using v2 of the id3 tagging system? [11:17] zackattack: you'll have to find a repository providing a prebuilt package first [11:18] ilyekkakai: oh.. ask ilovefairuz just said.. =) [11:18] !info git [11:18] Package git does not exist in lucid [11:18] ilovefairuz: It worked with wired OK so Ill just use this and install the cnetwork manager its WEP network [11:18] Slart, nope. I run OpenOffice, Evolution, netbeans and Chrome or Firefox. Tried Chrome in this session, to rule out if it was a firefox/flash problem. [11:18] trond-: you might want to run the memory testing thing as well.. bad memory can do weird things to a machine.. [11:18] ilyekkakai: mp3 files can carry two types of tags, v1 and/or v2 (and they can coexist) so you may be seeing v1 in one program and v2 in another [11:18] Slart, how do I do that? [11:19] i rebooted the machine bot when it starts it shows the gnu grub ( [11:19] Ghostly: what did you expect? [11:19] Ghostly: boot from live cd and pastebin: sudo fdisk -l [11:19] trond-: when you boot the machine there's a grub menu (you might need to press ESC during boot to show it).. in that meny there's an option to run a memory test.. just leave that running until it's gone through all your memory [11:19] !paste > Ghostly [11:19] Ghostly, please see my private message [11:20] phlak_user: i will do that [11:20] Slart: trond- you need to press Shift during boot to bring up grub menu; not escape [11:20] Slart, phlak_user ah, right. I'll do that as soon as the backup is done. I nothing else works I'll reload the computer. Upgraded to 10.04 this time... (never a good idea!) [11:20] phlak_user: ah.. thanks.. think I need to reboot myself and run a memory check =) [11:21] Slart: yw [11:21] Slart, I wish that was possible in RL. ;) [11:21] after the last update my dvd:copy and dvd95 converter un-installed and won't get installed again...mplayer crashed (I fixed it now by installing ffmpeg), does anyone know why I cannot install my dvd apps? [11:21] trond-: =) [11:21] Slart, ilovefairuz - well according to the prefs in easytag, it is set to write both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags by default.... so I can't work out why RB is still showing up the old tags.... [11:22] ilyekkakai: erase both, and re-tag in RB [11:22] ilyekkakai: perhaps it's got the tags cached so it doesn't need to read them every time it boots up.. isn't there a "refresh my music library" option? perhaps rename the file slightly so it thinks it's a new file? [11:22] xerxex: maybe you need libdvdread4 [11:23] !info libdvdread4 | xerxex [11:23] xerxex: libdvdread4 (source: libdvdread): library for reading DVDs. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.1.3-8ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 56 kB, installed size 216 kB [11:23] Slart: ilyekkakai: Nope! unrelated [11:23] it does re-read tags [11:23] "reload" is to re-scan the library for new files [11:23] I have had them libdvdread4 installed before, maybe it un-installed, I'll check [11:23] My ubuntu isnt booting I think because Its run out of disk space, so Im on the terminal trying to create some space, Is there any temporary files I can definatly delete? [11:24] /tmp/* [11:24] ? [11:24] tktiddle: you can completely remove all docs [11:24] ilovefairuz: is there a smaller one? about 100MB [11:24] tktiddle: /usr/share/docs [11:24] libdvdread4 is installed [11:24] how to install adobe flash player [11:24] also xine dissapeared after the last update [11:24] for ununtu 9.04 [11:24] xerxex: ok so what errors do you get [11:25] tktiddle: sudo apt-get autoclean [11:25] intel, I think you can use either the software installer under system, or you can go to the adobe-website. [11:25] !flash > intel [11:25] intel, please see my private message [11:25] tktiddle: sorry it is actually /usr/share/doc [11:25] e-DIO-t: /tmp empty, still need more space, what about removing orpanded packages, whats the bestway to do that? [11:25] !flash > trond- [11:25] trond-, please see my private message [11:25] the error: requires installation of untrusted packages [11:25] no it is not downloaded from adobe website [11:25] phlak_user: I think Ill keep the docs! [11:25] xerxex: ah so you need the pgp key for the repo [11:25] guys i need a small (about 100MB) ubuntu based mini linux [11:26] is there any? [11:26] how do we go from system [11:26] installer [11:26] Parsi: check tinycorelinux [11:26] tktiddle: i have never seen anyone refer to the docs (which is why we are here) [11:26] how do I get the pgp key? [11:26] ilovefairuz: is it ubuntu based?> [11:26] xerxex: of what? [11:26] Parsi: I think you'd be better off with one of the "designed to be small" distros.. puppy or DSL perhaps [11:26] Parsi: no, you'll hardly find an ubuntu distro with that size, except without a gui [11:27] ilovefairuz: is there any of theme without gui? [11:27] I'm trying to re-install dvd:copy and dvd95-converter [11:27] Parsi: server [11:27] tktiddle: depends on the repo; if its a ppa --> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2009/05/14/add-ppa-key-to-your-apt-keyring/ [11:27] ilovefairuz: no [11:27] for a mini pc [11:27] intel: why not from adobe page ? - Just go there and download it for ubuntu 8.04, and install this deb-package [11:28] ilovefairuz, erasing the tag achieved nothing - The old tag still shows up in RB despite being made blank with easytag... and according to easytag, the tag still is blank. [11:28] Parsi: the ubuntu server editiion is smaller and has the same base as ubutnu desktop [11:28] Parsi: if you are looking at Debian Based, go to #damnsmalllinux [11:28] phlak_user: I use the man pahes but they can be pretty confusing, are you talking about ubuntu shiped docs? [11:28] it asks for the operating system and the software I downloaded does not support the 9.04 [11:29] tktiddle: nope these are typically added whenever a package is added; mostly release notes, example configs etc; take a look inside that directory [11:29] phlak_user: i am trying fdisk -1 but only get invalid option -- '1' [11:30] Ghostly: it is an 'l' (the alphabet L in small case) not the number 1 [11:30] phlak_use: doh! [11:30] strange, I manged to install dvd95 through synaptic, it complained that the source was not trusted but it installed [11:30] tktiddle: if you do a du -h . you might see how much space they occupy [11:30] I'll try that with dvd:copy also [11:31] ilovefairuz, Slart - it is like it is hard-coded into the file somehow to have the album name in all uppercase.... I just don't get it. I will try to rename the files so RB "loses track of them" then re-import them to the library. [11:31] tktiddle: i get 171M [11:31] ilyekkakai: sudo apt-get install eyed5; eyed3 --remove-all "filename" [11:31] ciao a tuuttu [11:31] ilyekkakai: it's eyed3 not 5 [11:31] !it | ubuntu1002 [11:31] ubuntu1002: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:32] ilovefairuz, what is that and what will it do? [11:32] ilyekkakai: it's a command line tool to modify tags, --remove-all will strip all tags from an mp3 file [11:33] ilyekkakai: be sure to quote the file name in " and " (just type " and first few letters then press tab, will autocomplete) [11:34] Why do I get this warning from synaptic: "Warning: You are about to install software that cannot be authenticated!", I didn't get this warning before installing these apps [11:34] xerxex: sudo apt-get update [11:34] intel, system->administration->synaptic package manager [11:34] ilovefairuz, I don't want to remove ALL the tags - just one tag. [11:34] xerxex: if you se any error messages paste them [11:34] !paste > xerxex [11:34] xerxex, please see my private message [11:36] hello [11:36] ilyekkakai: try calling it with just: eye3d -1 (and then -2) on the filename to check which versions are written [11:36] can i install grub rather than grub2 ?

I can not boot into xubuntu, but it will boot into XP just fine. I don't think I have the partitions setup correctly [11:39] JustSimplyBob: did it ever work ?

[12:33] KrisDouglas: ya I like to test the bleeding edge stuf with a virtualbox setup and play a bit with it first. I only upgrade if I have to. [12:33] scarlson: it is not the security, yes I do have a password set, its just that it asks for my login keyring on the remote machine before i get access, which is stupid [12:33] yes, i can access it without a password [12:34] ilovefairuz, yes i`ve verified it [12:34] ilovefairuz: try o gues whichdistro updates costantly the packages?

[12:36] No, the settings are correct, the problem is that the keyringhas been disabled by me, and it keeps getting re-enabled when i store details on the "Connect to server" app. This then means my remote desktop doesn't work 'till i delete the keyrings and then reset the password... its never done this before.

I'm not sure what you could have done. [12:38] i tried modprobe -r rt2500usb than modprobe -r rt2500pci [12:38] lucid: after you add the mod to the blacklist, you need to reboot. else, to test, just unload the module and load the rt280 module (modprobe -rv and modprobe -v) [12:38] what is the sed command to remove text after a certain expression like a comma "," with sed?

[12:38] but device still use rt2500 [12:38] until the end of the line [12:38] North_Italian69, this has nothing to do with Ubuntu support. Please stop [12:38] lucid: modprobe -rf will force it to unload [12:39] ok [12:39] KrisDouglas: but you say you have 3 other local system and all fail. maybe setup a temp account for me on your remote and let me try it.

I want something that shows a graph of which folders are taking up how much space, with the option to ignore certain folders. [12:40] kittenvsdinosaur: computer janitor?

[13:05] i have a hawei 3g wireless modem and I was cannot use my mouse if i plug it in... there is no much room left [13:05] ubuntu: There is a way to enable mouse naviation with the numpad, I think the key combination is alt-shift-numlock [13:06] ubuntu, ilovefairuz had it right. I was looking at an older version. [13:07] ilovefairuz: Well im trying to get ubuntu working again but i keep messing up for some reason, i could try fixing the mbr throught windows then install grub again? [13:07] Ghostly, What is messing up on it? [13:08] Ghostly: if you deleted the partition containing ubuntu, you'll have to re-install it from scratch, you can't fix this [13:08] Ghostly: only grub is left on your system now [13:10] how do i reinstall a program with all it dependencies? [13:10] Ddorda1: apt-get install --reinstall packagename [13:10] Ddorda1: sudo aptitude install programname , that would be my guess [13:11] both won't reinstall deps [13:11] how does one close an unresponsive program in ubuntu? if its dissappeared from my screen but i can still hear it running in the background [13:11] ilovefairuz: well have tried reinstalling several times, even deliting the existing particion for the task [13:11] llutz: the packagename portion can include as many packages as needed to be reinstalled [13:11] like a normal install === root is now known as Guest88915 [13:12] MitchFX: do a top or ps and note the process id , then use kill processid [13:12] ilovefairuz: sure, but you have to find all the deps manually before. sounds its not what he wants [13:12] MitchFX: what program ? [13:12] Ghostly, The last step of the install, there's an Advanced button. Make sure that it sets the proper partition. [13:12] hi everyone [13:12] ubuntu: that might be that you 3g draws too much power from your usb +5v. maybe try if you have other plugs some systems have 2 totaly separarte usb buses. other option might require you have a usb hub that provides the power to the devices on the external usb hub.

[14:12] amr_, but as ubuntu 10.04.1 is set to release real soon there are *very* little updates and quite possibly there has been no update that could concern chromium [14:12] can i set it so my account, which isnt root, can use apt without sudo? [14:13] lelle: you need to install the bcmwl-kernel-source driver instead of ndiswrapper [14:13] om26er, you still here?

[14:20] otherwise the terminal has to run [14:20] lelle: yessss! it supports nl80211 so supposedly it work fine fine with hostapd, so you need to use that driver instead of ndiswrapper [14:20] iceroot, i did a reinstall of ubuntu [14:20] What works [14:20] Installation [14:20] Launching the game [14:20] Switching the screen resolution for the game [14:20] Aurora: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Disk utility shows the components of the array, but when I tried to start the array, it said something about missing components. mdadm managed to start it with --assemble --scan but there is no partition table. What can I do? [14:40] yes i know abhijit. [14:40] oh,what other use!? [14:40] CruX|, odd... does the proxy require authentication?

[16:19] llutz: just checked; thanks [16:19] is there no apt package for php-zlib? [16:19] thanks erUSUL i'll google that and see if i can do it. [16:20] stale: 8.04 is stable, but also out of date. [16:20] janicko, read ailleantsian 's comments, he seems to have knowledge of belkin wireless, ive never used those and in either case, you need to find out what belkin card you have, if it's a laptop you can probably start by looking at your machine, it's a packard bell?? there should be a model number associated with the machine but as I dont use that hardware I cant help you, someone who has might be able to help you [16:20] lelle: how do i get it? [16:21] stale: 10.04 is the current long-term-release candidate. Which means that is the current stable release, and up-to-date. [16:21] ikonia, If your still around, thanks a million. Umm, can I undo it (the arrangement) after I'm done ? I only want it temporarily. [16:21] hi [16:21] <_Brandon_> hi, is there a virtual keyboard that automatically show itself when selecting a text input? [16:22] cypher-neo: Is there a later release that is also stable as 8.04? I will install a minimal Ubuntu on some old Dell PC (125 RAM), but I do not want any loose bugs around. [16:22] where do I go to see what changes where made with the kernel update that came out last week? [16:22] stale: 10.04 is stable. [16:23] _Brandon_, I have no experience with virtual keyboards but there are some in Ubuntu Software Center, check them out. Maybe you'll find one that suits your needs. [16:23] Stale, LTS releases are always released for stability. [16:23] hopefully someone can help me, i have just installed nvidia drivers on reboot get error, had a look at x log and then kernel log which can be seen here :http://pastebin.com/tAVzTgJr [16:23] <_Brandon_> Danielsblug: I tried them already, couldn't find anything good, thanks anyway [16:23] _Brandon_, Look for 'Keyboard'. [16:23] another go nowhere question: why is my X process taking up nearly 1g of physical memory since upgrading to Lucid? [16:24] cypher-neo: Even though there are forum complaints of 10.04 (those complaints are also out-dated)? [16:24] _Brandon_, Ohh I see, sorry then. [16:25] Stale, I don't know what the forums say. I don't read forums unless I have problems and want to confirm that someone else is having the same problem. [16:25] why can I use less with a file and have key availability such as up/down/q but when I pipe php -i | less these keys do not work [16:25] I get things like ^[OA instead [16:25] Stale, I've been using 10.04 since the day it was released. It is a little different from previous releases, but I've seen nothing that has been so severely crippling that I would need to go to an earlier version. [16:26] There was any recent change in behavior of /var/log/auth.log? It seems the system hopefully won't log wrong passowords in this file anymore... [16:26] whats the name of the process for the gnome main menu? (the bar at the top with applications, settings,etc)? [16:26] Stale, If you're so worried about it, you can download the ISO image, burn it to a CD and preview it. [16:26] cypher-neo, hey k3b works!!! [16:26] Stale, Preview mode is excellent for trying out new releases. [16:27] abhijit, Glad to hear. :D [16:27] cypher-neo: That is alright with me. The only other thing I wanted to know is that in your experience, what was the most stable Ubuntu release? [16:27] Stale, 10.04 is the most stable I've seen. [16:28] whois Adam_Johnston === abhijit is now known as Guest39461 [16:29] cyphrer-neo: Okay, thanks for your help, cypher-neo. [16:29] Stale, The only quirks in 10.04 was that one of the desktop themes has the icons on the other side of the window (which I actually liked), and there are extra security options on Wine which require you to be in su- to install programs. === abhijit_ is now known as abhijit [16:29] Stale, But those are easily handled.

[16:31] abhijit, Normally the password is contained in the gnome-keyring [16:31] Hey, I have a problem, if no-one minds helping out? :) [16:31] docking/undocking my laptop caused my x server config to get hosed and now I can't even boot up, how do I recover?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:32] abhijit, Do you mean using the Twitter package, or a plugin on Gnome-Do? [16:33] new to ubuntu - musing karmic - i have a message at the top of my update manager offering me an uptdate to lynx - would this erase my settings or files and does it take a long time typically [16:33] cypher-neo, twitter plugin in gnome do [16:33] In Ubuntu, when you try to log in and fail, your wrong password used to get logged in /var/log/auth.log [16:33] But I've noted it has changed now.

I haven't used the Gnome-Do twitter plugin. I just manually dropped the Twitter program into Gnome-Do [16:34] rainrain: make backups of your important files and simply install lucid from cd, it's much faster than dist-upgrade [16:34] cypher-neo, ok [16:34] rainrain: nothing would be removed. the time it takes dpends on the download speed you will ahve to download at leat 700 MiB or more of new packages [16:34] abhijit, And actually, I don't use Gnome-Do now. I use Cairo/GLX-Dock [16:34] erUSUL: thanks [16:35] cypher-neo, i am talking about gnome do launcher not about the dock [16:36] is lynx worth the upgrade from karmic - anything interesting i didnt notice anything in particular myslef but im a newbie ? [16:36] I've just done a fresh install on my laptop, the only problem during the installation being the fact that the reolution wasn't correct, but after it finished, the screen when corrupt. I tried a reboot, and it booted fine, only with the higher resolution (1600 x 1200, when I have 1280 x 800) So I tried to change the resolution to the correct one, and the screen went corrupt again (this... [16:36] ...happens with all other resolutions as well) [16:36] A friend recommended editting my xorg.conf file, however, when I went to edit it, it had nothing in it :S [16:36] (I'm also incredibly new to Ubuntu, btw) [16:36] Adam_Johnston: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:15] " [17:15] ramk, and from what i have experienced, you can reinstall the drivers fine and it will work however some things will need to be manually configured, for that you will need to read the entire page and get the exact drivers that you need, that page will show you how, ive never bothered -- once I got sound working I didnt care that the buttons on my laptop no longer worked [17:16] tomaw ok, not end of the world. i think you will need to edit your xorg config by hand, and set a resolution that your monitor is happy with [17:16] ok [17:16] Does anyone know how to merge search bar and adress bar in midori? [17:16] Wiesshund: How do I go about that?

[17:18] frots: for static IP address did you have to disable network-manager? [17:18] Does anyone know how to merge search bar and adress bar in midori? [17:18] Frots, could be a dns issue [17:19] tucemiux: both don't work [17:19] or really, if there's some good documentation on dash out there, i would be happy to read up, but so far have found very little [17:19] devkhadka: change the 'LS_COLORS' variable in .bashrc or something; use 'dircolors' to find out current settings [17:19] cd buring help [17:19] droes, there is channel #midori [17:19] abhijit, burn slow x4 or x8 [17:19] join #seraphimRage [17:20] tucemiux, sudo aplay -l [17:20] aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...

[17:32] ramk, sorry but I'm afraid you will have to follow the guide, the times i've hosed my audio I just renistalled alsa and it worked, looks like you have to configure the drivers and everything in the guide [17:32] error: no such device: (number + letters).

[17:32] AshWatson you were the guy lastnight with the wubi install? [17:33] erm yes [17:33] bathacid, You may need to upgrade your Wine version. The mouse problem you describe was fixed in Wine 1.1.42 and later. [17:33] i was told to get a livecd so i got one and nnow i need to know how to fix it [17:33] bathacid, If you're using Lucid 10.04, just install the Wine 1.2 default package [17:33] AshWatson: Solution is in here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [17:33] ok [17:33] bathacid install wine 1.2 and problem should be resolved [17:33] guitar-maniac, you got me?

Can some1 help me? I have no clue what to do... [17:34] only wine that i see in synaptic package manager is 1.1.42 [17:34] is there a way of having a list of installed sofwares thar runs on terminal,,for backup purposes [17:34] can i install ubuntu from a usb pendrive to the same pendrive? my hdd is dead [17:34] Is there anything negative when adding/updating an index frequently (like 100 times a second)? [17:34] Alias01, yes you can install ubuntu to usb pen drive. [17:34] do i need to get it from the wine hq site? [17:35] philinux, i go on that and when i type the command grub-install -v is says unknown command [17:35] Yadira: yes [17:35] Hello [17:35] Hello [17:35] abhijit, even if the source is the same pendrive? [17:35] bathacid, No, it should be available in Synaptic. [17:35] bathacid, Are you using Karmic or Lucid? [17:35] Alias01, no [17:35] how to do that sacarlson [17:35] Is there any Ubuntu gur who could answer a question [17:35] ? [17:35] +u [17:36] Yadira: good question [17:36] !ask | sweet [17:36] sweet: 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. :-) [17:36] dpgk? [17:36] tucemiux, restarted and all the modules probed using "sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" is gone !!? [17:36] also it wont let me boot through the cd [17:36] abhijit: yeah thanks! trying to figure this out with these links [17:36] I have a small problem with Ubuntu. When I listen to Music on one program (for example, using the "Totem Media Player") and there is some other sound (For example, watching a video or getting a mail), there is a strange bass voice. Anyone know what might cause it? [17:36] guitar-maniac, ok [17:36] kpkg -l [17:36] Is there a CIFS/SMB server that is JUST a CIFS/SMB server and nothing else? I can't get Samba 100% reliable, Likewise is a LOT more functionality than I need. [17:36] bathacid, Are you using Karmic or Lucid? [17:36] Alias01, wait [17:36] Yadira: dpkg -l [17:37] Yadira, if you find an answer to that one let me know, for me -- i created a cheat sheet of all the appz , the cheat sheet basically contains the command used to install it, so everytime I reimage my machine I open up my cheat sheet and run those commands [17:37] Alias01, see this http://www.linuxforu.com/teach-me/tips-tricks/install-linux-straight-from-an-iso/ [17:37] ramk, sorry but I'm afraid you will have to follow the guide, the times i've hosed my audio I just renistalled alsa and it worked, looks like you have to configure the drivers and everything in the guide [17:37] ok. Once in a while, lucid boots but my monitor says "imput signal not in range" and does not display anything. This is a fresh install, and my GPU is ATI [17:37] tucemiux: all of them seem to point to /dev/sr0 and all fail :/ [17:37] anyone know what i do ? [17:37] well tucemiux u can always use APTonCD [17:37] AshWatson: http://www.omaregan.com/?p=608 also gogle search "fix wubi grub2" [17:37] tucemiux, ok [17:37] i creates a image(ISO)of installed aps [17:37] Alias01, also you can use two pen drive? one to install and one to install from? [17:37] Do you have any ideas what could cause it ? Is this a known issue ? [17:38] Yadira: tucemiux: well it dpkg -l [17:38] would updating an index constantly slow a server substantially? [17:38] i cant create that even that i have the software installed because i delete cache [17:38] !ati | sweet [17:38] sweet: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:38] sweet: what is the issue? [17:38] ok [17:38] tucemiux: that's what gives you the list of all installed application on you ubuntu system [17:38] riot, what are you trying to use on your optical drive? did you put a cdrom into the drive? try first a cd, like a music cd [17:39] philinux, i cant boot in windows so that wont help [17:39] sweet it means your monitor is being asked to run a resolution/refresh rate, outside its capabilities [17:39] tucemiux: several media [17:39] sacarlson u can issue the following command on terminal : dpkg -l | grep "myapp" [17:39] AshWatson: you need to reinstall the windows bootloader then. Instructions in grub2 basics thread. [17:39] dpkg -l now who knows how to use that list to create a new system with the same packages? [17:39] any deb package available for this http://trafficserver.apache.org/index.html [17:40] Wiesshund: i know that. The trick is that it happens once in a while at bootup on a fresh install. Sometimes the display resolution at bootup is correct, sometimes it isnt [17:40] philinux, how do i do that cause i dont have a windows vista disc [17:40] ramk: that is correct [17:40] well with a bit of prodding i think this will work [17:40] sacarlson, that's not specific enough though, what I need is appz that arent installed by default and I have to install manually, unless you upgrade you always have to install those appz manually when you install from an ISO [17:40] Wiesshund: wait how can you configure the refresh rate ? [17:40] sacarlson, that list does not have apps i have installed [17:40] is too short [17:41] philinux, ive done acer eRecovery [17:41] sweet you could just define its resolution in xorg.conf [17:41] sacarlson, this may not help.. but what i do is save all my apt-get install app1 app2 in google docs.. so when i do a fresh install next time is easy [17:41] and that didnt fix grub [17:41] !fixgrub | AshWatson [17:41] AshWatson: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [17:41] sweet http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 [17:41] tucemiux: no that is the list of application that you have installed manualy at the point you ran the command [17:41] tucemiux: all these media work on other machines [17:41] riot, if you have a live CD or an install CD I would try it just to make sure it's not a hardware issue [17:41] Wiesshund: I'll try fidgeting with that and see if it solves the issue, before filing a bug report on launchpad [17:42] Wiesshund: so it doesn't seem to be a known bug/issue [17:42] ye but i didnt lose grub after installing windows, windows was alreayd installed [17:42] AshWatson, just have a look at once. all the instructions to FIX grub are there [17:43] i am looking but i cant boot from the livecd for some reason [17:43] so i cant go into terminal and reinstall it [17:43] tucemiux: i used a dvd to install ubuntu just a few days ago. The hardware worked flawlessly on suse before that. [17:43] Thx for your help [17:43] tucemiux: its clearly an ubuntu-related problem [17:43] I want to generate a list of installed sofwares not in terminal [17:44] Yadira: then where? [17:44] Yadira: you can use Synaptic and show only installed software [17:44] riot, all hardware has a life span, they tend to RIP when you least expected, I would at least try that option just to make sure it's not a hardware issue, just boot up into the CD/DVD live, if you succeed then you know the problem is with ubuntu [17:45] tucemiux: two drives?! the drives work. I made sure. [17:45] i can use sypnatic,,but can i generate a list so i can have for back up [17:45] Yadira: I think I found a more acurate answer but I think my list would still work http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-get-list-installed-software-reinstallation-restore.html [17:45] Yadira: in terminal, yes [17:45] !clone | Yadira [17:45] Yadira: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [17:45] riot, then it's an ubuntu issue, i would file a bug report or look up your hardware in launchpad [17:45] i run dpkg -l and have nothing,,just few i have a lot apps missing on that command [17:46] Yadira terminal > dpkg --get-selections > my-packages [17:46] tucemiux: okay [17:46] Anyone know why I can't get an address bar to show up in internet explorer on wine?

I think its because the LVM2 module isn't loaded properly. How do I tell initramfs to load this module? [17:49] philinux, so how would i fix this ?

[18:09] Archdave: who cares [18:10] someone who posted up there ^^^^ [18:10] really? [18:10] econdudeawesome: thanks! [18:10] You are quite correct that it does not display on that list. It does however have a "Linux Support" icon on the packaging of the product. I know others have gotten it to work. I tried a netgear card before this with similar problems. I suspect something is wonky with my setup. [18:10] i will try [18:10] !who | adi_ [18:10] adi_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:10] Kwpolska: I want this to operate on a list of files, so i don't know ahead of time the filename, just that it has .svn-base as suffix [18:10] SomeoneE1se: I'm not sure that's a problem. you want to pop them off your network at some point? [18:10] the guy with the sed question => this pdf shows how to change text to blanks http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue21-eng.pdf [18:10] hai guis. anyone here has got i3 530 (or any other clarkdale) to work with ubuntu? i cant boot to ubuntu without using "nomodeset" in the boot parameters w/e. and then i get an error box saying "Failed to detect GEM. Kernel 2.6.28 required". It's a 64bit 10.04 [18:11] randomman: use a while loop and it's done [18:11] Monkey_Dust: he found a solution and he is randomman [18:11] after that box i can log in with "low graphics mode" [18:11] Kwpolska: you're not understanding the problem. [18:11] I have two hard drives, and I actively use only one, so I decided to remove the other one from the box, but apparently GRUB was stored on it, and every time I boot, the computers ends at a black screen. I am now running from an ubuntu live cd, how to recover/recreate the grub? [18:11] SomeoneE1se: what would stop them from just going with a static address? [18:11] sweet, looks like your monitor resolution settings can't be displayed [18:11] randomman: er, do you mean like: rename s/\.svn-base// *.svn-base [18:12] Testien, grub-install /dev/ [18:12] randomman: I am not, bacause the way you're trying to do ha no sense [18:12] randomman: That would remove .svn-base from all files that have that extension. [18:12] Does anyone know if the installation process, is the same in Lubuntu as in Ubuntu? The Lubuntu channel is kind of dead. Especially I need the "install next to windows" function and the automated partitioning [18:12] pici : this is what i get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [18:12] xserver-xorg-video-sis: Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.6.99.900) but 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.3 is to be installed [18:12] E: Broken packages [18:12] BluesKaj: yep.

This is a PCIE card rather than a pci card.

[18:16] Hey all, I've just installed ubuntu 10.04 x86 on a Fujitsu Amilo L7320gw. I'm finding the screen is cut off on the right, any suggestions please? :) [18:16] changing the resolution causes it to go crazy and unviewable [18:16] Saevar: sure that would cause a terminal .. uh.. mode I guess? [18:16] Hello. I've got problems in the fstab department. I've told it that I want to mount /dev/sdb7 /media/sdb7 | auto | rw,user,auto,exec,suid 0 0 but I can't seem to change the files. Not even chmod. What have I done wrong? [18:16] even changing it to 1024x768 or something [18:17] bindi, ? what do u mean ? [18:17] SomeoneE1se: add this to /etc/dhcp3/dhcp3.conf file max-lease-time 600; 600 is in seconds [18:17] i am on 900X600 [18:17] Saevar: without "nomodeset" it will pop up console [18:17] adi_: Can you please pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list ?

[18:18] pici: where do you paste bin here? [18:18] Yadira: is back :) [18:18] adi_: http://paste.ubuntu.com [18:18] bindi,yup [18:18] randomman: sed doesn't know anything about filenames, you would need a multi-line bash script to use sed to do that. [18:18] frxstrem: use sed; I can't give you the exact command you need, but check here http://sed.sourceforge.net/sed1line.txt [18:19] randomman: that link I posted shows how to mass rename files in one line [18:19] VCoolio: okay (I tried that, though, didn't work that well) [18:19] bindi, fb konsole or normal ? [18:19] you could modify it some if you needed to move them to a new location as well [18:19] does ubuntu have default alarm installed ?

When I listen to Music on one program (for example, using the "Totem Media Player") and there is some other sound (For example, watching a video or getting a mail), there is a strange bass voice. Anyone know what might cause it? [18:20] frxstrem: or maybe awk, something like awk '{print $2}' for each line [18:20] pici : http://paste.ubuntu.com/477040/ [18:20] Apparetly, it got grub on the disk, but it falls to a shell, boot says "no loaded kernel" and "root" says my / is ext2 :/ [18:20] Yes, saby? [18:20] EdwardL, is the partition you are mounting NTFS ? [18:21] EdwardL: are you super user try sudo vi yourfile [18:21] saby no, it is FAT32. [18:21] sacarlson: I'm just myself in the file browser trying to rename. [18:21] EdwardL: is it mounted read only? [18:21] VCoolio: ok, thanks [18:21] adi_: Please run: sudo apt-get update, and then try to install that package again. [18:22] EdwardL: well do you have admin privliges?

[18:23] cryptk: that is what I am trying to do, but it doesn't work. that script looks almost exactly like mine, which is why I'm confused as to why it isn't working [18:23] oh, sawwy, wrong channel :) [18:23] EdwardL, some times auto doesnt work [18:23] k love u all, bi bi xxx [18:23] pici: after sudo apt-get update i get the same thing [18:23] Anyone? please? :O my development server is pretty much dead, I can really use some help [18:23] EdwardL: so you can edit /etc/fstab what's the problem? [18:23] package broken [18:24] saby fs type is "vfat" not fta32 [18:24] sacarlson, he cant edit the files in the drive i think [18:24] fat32* [18:24] llutz, so instead of fat32 i have to write vfat ? [18:24] pici: are you on a k/ubuntu? [18:24] saby yes [18:24] EdwardL, please write like this "dev/sdb7 /media/sdb7 vfat rw,auto,user,uid=jasneet 0 0" [18:24] sacarlson: Can't edit the files on the mounted partisions. Hang on, writing what, wait... llutz, ok, vfat then. [18:25] saby: he had admin priv and the drive is mounted read write so he should be able to do it [18:25] EdwardL, please change the uid to your name === jiechic_ is now known as jiechic [18:25] adi_: Yes. [18:25] sacarlson, when i had set the fs to auto it did give some problems [18:25] can someone help me doing randomness with sed? [18:25] if yes please check if you have the "sis_drv.so" at this location /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers [18:26] adi_: No, because this is a server. [18:26] ahhh ok :) [18:26] hey ~ for some reason my panels keep vanishing. does anyone know why ? (they are not on autohide) how can i get them back ?????? [18:26] adi_: It seems like your packages are in the bad state, as those package versions you're listing are in Karmic, but you're running Lucid according to your sources.list file. When was the last time you did a package update/upgrade? [18:26] saby: oh it's not that he can't change /etc/fstab he can't right to the monted vfat. sorry I'm slow tonight [18:27] pici: actually i started a upgrade from karmic to lucid. [18:27] saby: WEE! Thanks alot. [18:27] sacarlson, ya he cant write to the mounted partition. [18:27] EdwardL, does it work now ? [18:27] adi_: but? [18:27] pici : but than the whole thing crashed [18:27] Nope, still falls to a black screen :( Thank you anyway, it seems that the problem isn't in grub [18:27] pici so i quit [18:27] adi_: Well you're in an inconsistant state now, thats why you can't install that package. [18:28] saby: I right clicked and saw I could Rename, Delete, and Move a file. Now testing an app... [18:28] for some reason my panels keep vanishing. does anyone know why ? (they are not on autohide) how can i get them back ?????? [18:28] pici: should i restart an upgrade?

Thought auto meant it was smart in detecting what I wanted. :S [18:28] pici i started it [18:28] sacarlson, apparently setting the fs to auto in the fstab file does create some problems, better to explicitly define it [18:29] EdwardL, it is smart but some times it gets confused :P [18:29] please don't spam Phonex01 thank you === xektrum is now known as Guest43081 [18:29] i'm not spaming [18:29] saby: I thought auto meant only mount when access needed.

I have /boot / /home /d1 120-drive /d3 /d4 (boot is primary and the rest are all logical partitions on an extended partition. --- what happened was the installer said it needed me to specify a root partition. I had no idea how to do that. -----> You must understand one thing. There will be no Windows at all on the 1T Hitachi drive. [20:20] wechat: didnt quite work [20:20] maco, I've reinstalled the brother drivers and the printer is working fabulously, however, despite installing the scanner drivers I'm not getting to scan. If you have any ideas - most welcome [20:20] Slart, ok thanks [20:21] livingdaylight: dont know sorry. i have luckily always had scanners that Just Work [20:21] ok [20:21] Snowe: http://webchat.freenode.net (sorry if its not relevant just ignore) [20:21] kikela, how did it work out? === Manuel_ is now known as SaLoMoN [20:22] Snowe: I think you were said right to make dpkg -- I found this link http://tinyurl.com/6e5gxo [20:22] tucemiux: I am saving your advice on a flashdrive [20:22] tripelb-irssi, you can install ubuntu to a second drive without a problem, that's how I began using linux, because I was afraid I might damage my windows hard drive, just make sure youre pointing at the right drive when you install ubuntu, choose to manually partition your drive [20:22] wechat: sorry i had a noob moment >~<;; forgot to use sudo, i got it now [20:22] This has kinda been a small issue, and I am at my wits, try to get this to work successfully. I have enabled under: System > Preferences> Remote Desktop; and I enabled the check box to allow other users to view the desktop, but it will not give me access from another OS for example windows 7. How can i get this to work [20:23] Snowe: anyway you need this option (I always choose it there) http://tinyurl.com/38vqgx6 [20:23] tucemiux: ok I will come back and if you are here tell you how it went. I'm going to do what I said. Peace out for a while. [20:23] tucemiux: and what you said. [20:23] ailleantsian: it is not responding, i do not know how to install it [20:24] tripelb-irssi, this is how I would partition that 1TB drive: "swap" 1 gig -- primary, 2dary "/" 10 gigs, 2dary "/home" 20 gigs, dont really need a "/boot" partition [20:24] Slart I have a PrintMotd no in sshd_config and it still shows up :( [20:24] mm remote desktop should only allow native os. === sam_ is now known as sinusoid [20:24] brb~ testing [20:24] kx: try restarting the sshd [20:24] Snowe: it's better to forget (and remember later) to use sudo than always be root :) [20:24] tripelb-irssi, like I mentioned, you dont really need a "/boot" partition, unless you know what youre doing [20:25] kx: install is soon done... google hasn't been very helpful with this.. apart from the link I found which didn't really help a lot [20:25] so i think i may have previously installed a mail server, but i don't know, any ideas on how i could check? [20:25] elkclone: only ubu to ubu and not win to ubu, is that what u mean ? [20:25] Is there any way to check for partitions on the disk via busybox?

[20:29] Thanks :) === carlo is now known as Guest27745 [20:29] wechat: it worked :D thank you~ [20:30] Is there any way to check for partitions on the disk via busybox? I need to know what partition is the linux partition on my friend's laptop so that I can correct it in grub. [20:31] @neek_ - the best thing I can think of would be to do: ls /dev/sd* or ls /dev/hd* [20:32] neek_, if the partition is mounted then use "mount" [20:33] Slart you could change the update.mot.d dir files but then you kill it all the time [20:34] Are there 802.11n USB sticks that work out of the box on Ubuntu 10.04 ? [20:35] Yes, I know about the wiki. But that assumes you know by heart what model number supports what wifi standards. [20:36] hello all [20:36] henkpoley: Any reason you want USB rather than PCI? [20:36] i have followed that tutorial, and it does not seem to work on 10.4 ? [20:37] tucemiux: hah no I dont know what I am doing, but am prepared to learn. Everyone starts out not knowing what they are doing. [20:37] <|magic|> sera [20:37] <|magic|> !chat [20:37] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [20:37] Slart brb I'm going to reboot and see if that helps because PrintMotd is set no [20:37] <|magic|> !chat [20:37] Jordan_U: I don't have that many other systems anymore with PCI. But then, most of them already have WiFi too.. so.. [20:38] Jordan_U: what PCI solution would you recommend then ? [20:38] |magic|, why is ubottu showing pidgin? should be empathy right? [20:38] tucemiux: what I do not understand is why gparted and firefox keep quitting when I am using the 10.04 liveCD and not when I use the 9.04 liveCd or a 9.10 installed ubuntu. [20:38] tripelb-irssi, if youre not experienced then instead of having a "/boot" partition I would have a "/" -- "/boot" is basically used to store boot information so unless you know what youre doing I wouldnt have a "/boot" partition, just create a "swap" , "/", and "/home" partition that will hold ubuntu itself, then create 2 other partitions that will hold your data [20:39] henkpoley, I have linksys wusb54gc v3 that required only blacklisting one driver [20:39] Wiesshund: Hi, have you had a time to look at my problem? [20:39] tripelb-irssi, i suspect lucid doesnt play nice with your hardware, use what you know works, no need to experiment here [20:39] or tucemiux [20:39] tucemiux: wait to answer (if you are still here) till I return in 9.04 since I cant even use firefox from this 10.04 livecd [20:39] wedwo: looks like that's a b/g one, isn't it ? [20:40] Frots no you never replied, i thought you left [20:40] henkpoley: I believe that all madwifi chipsets (that are internal and support N in hardware) have full N support in linux. [20:40] Wiesshund: sorry, I think I missed your message [20:40] what was it? [20:40] tucemiux: PS the windows data partition is a good idea. I can put all media there. Glad yo mentioned it. [20:41] henkpoley, yes you're right - my bad [20:41] Jordan_U: so that means Atheros chipsets [20:41] hola [20:42] hola nacho [20:42] hola [20:42] !es [20:42] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [20:43] reccomendations on something better than pidgin? [20:43] henkpoley: Yes, that's what I meant sorry. I actually recommend the ath5k and ath9k drivers over the madwifi drivers, it was just a typo. [20:43] hi [20:43] Jordan_U: I'll check this list for local availability: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/products/external [20:45] I've got an EeePC, and I'm trying to get the basic hardware working (fan, hotkeys, etc) with the module eeepc-laptop. I know that this is right, but I can't get it to load, it just says "No such device!". I've done this before, but I just reinstalled, and I can't get it to work. I thought that what I did to get it to work before was just boot with elevator=CFQ but that's not fixing it now. What might I do? [20:47] ianwizard1: the 'elevator' is merely a performance tweak. Also, CFQ has been standard for 3 years already (or maybe even far more) [20:47] Hey, guys. Had a quick question. [20:47] has anyone been able to access ubuntu remotely ? [20:47] henkpoley: I just know what worked before. (Or apperantly not.) [20:47] ubuntu420, ssh all the time... [20:48] ssh is console cmd only ! [20:48] After running a system update I'm having a strange error. Everytime I boot up now I have to manually start my Ethernet adapter. [20:48] ubuntu420, with X forwarding that is incorrect [20:48] What else might cause it to not recognize the hardware as what it is. [20:48] i'd prefer to see the desktop. [20:48] ianwizard1: I expect anything you need to know is described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [20:48] I end up running ifconfig eth0 up and dhclient eth0 [20:49] ianwizard1: especially : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes [20:49] ubuntu420, if you need a "desktop" ssh isn't right for you actually... good luck man. [20:49] ubuntu420: use rdesktop, (rdp) [20:49] ZykoticK9: Lmao. =P [20:49] install rdesktop on ubuntu will allow me to access ubuntu-desktop remotely from windows ? [20:50] henkpoley: I'll look, but the first time it took me two weeks to sift through the net, and a little trial and error. [20:50] with ssh you can use the -X option and it will automatically set the DISPLAY environment variable... === ianwizard1 is now known as IanWizard [20:50] and forward all X11 traffic through the SSH session... works like a champ for me at school... [20:50] rdesktop is a security flaw [20:50] i just installed postfix, but when i try and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix i get: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: postfix is broken or not fully installed [20:50] any ideas? [20:50] ubuntu420: no the other way around, you will be able to see windows from ubuntu [20:51] ubuntu420, no, rdesktop will let you acess windows remotely from ubuntu === Guest33643 is now known as tobyrose115 [20:51] Wavesonics, try "sudo apt-get -f install" [20:51] Sorry all. Got a phone call right after asking before, but I'm having great results on this Dell Inspiron 6000. The only thing I'm not getting working is the microphone jack. How would one troubleshoot this problem if he knew the mics all worked? [20:51] is there anyway to get divx server client installed on ubuntu? i have a home cinema from samsung :) [20:51] Frots: I doubt it itself is a security "flaw" but it is somewhat insecure. [20:51] ubuntu420: I recommend NoMachine NX for remote desktops, they have a free version for non-commercial use [20:51] IanWizard: that makes it a flaw doesnt it === mike is now known as Guest26155 [20:52] ZykoticK9, ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [20:52] Errors were encountered while processing: [20:52] postfix [20:52] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [20:52] Wavesonics: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:52] no, it has a flaw, or a vuln === robin is now known as Guest85740 [20:52] whops [20:52] it however is not a flaw. [20:52] IanWizard: I wont feed you [20:52] but it's really a matter of opinion anyway [20:52] this channel went downwards with all these trolls [20:52] Frots: ?? but I like rss [20:53] Wavesonics, sorry i have no more ideas - something is obviously wrong with postfix on your system - you might want to search launchpad for any related bugs. Good luck. [20:53] ZykoticK9, ok thanks [20:53] Frots: It is technically (in my opinion) incorrect, but I'm sorry that I said anything. [20:53] i installed xubuntu on my fuji siemeans computer and the sound don't work when i plug in my speakers... it's just became quiet, heeelp [20:54] Guest85740 open a terminal type alsamixer see if any sliders are down or muted...if muted hit the "m" keyboard letter to unmute [20:54] IanWizard: yes, ok you can say that now I dont know if I can trust you anymore [20:55] so [20:55] i have a partition i do a du on [20:55] it says i have 50 gigs used [20:55] frots: lmao [20:55] i do a df [20:55] husimon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:55] !enter | husimon [20:55] husimon: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:55] ya ya i got it. [20:55] coz_ i have already tried that [20:55] it says i have 115gb used, why would the file system be in this odd state? [20:55] elkclone: can I laugh with you? [20:55] Frots: I'm not sure that makes sense, but I can always come back under a different nick later, and nobody know who I am, or anything about my past. [20:55] coz_ all sliderza is umuted [20:56] Guest85740, they are "all" muted? [20:56] i recently deleted a large file ~60gb but it doesn't seem to have really freed up the space? [20:56] IanWizard: I know how people like you handle, don't tell me about it [20:56] frots: yah m8te. cause you gotta laugh before you cry. [20:56] Guest85740, then start with the first one ...hit the keyboard letter "m" to unmute and the arrows to turn up the volume [20:56] elkclone: that is a nice philosophy indeed :) [20:56] and this was with rm, it didn't goto a recycle bin. [20:57] Guest85740, if that doesnt work go to #pulseaudio channel or the #alsa channel [20:57] coz_ thx [20:57] Guest85740, let me know if you get this remedied and how :) [20:57] frots: don't ever get provoked into flaming someone. just keep your head cool . [20:58] coz_ yes, i will :) [20:58] elkclone: thanks man, you have to be a veteran in here [20:59] frots: I am irc veteran. not neccesarily this room. [20:59] Well that is definitally clear to me elkclone :) thanks for the advice [20:59] np [21:00] husimon: your question was so fragmented and incomplete it is hard to understand your problem. could you try it all on one line? [21:00] Sup everybody. [21:00] most ppl on freenode have some class and compasion. [21:00] how to remove dbus-launcher? it opens so many ports and procs its annoing [21:00] Godzilla: ^5 [21:01] yeah [21:01] thune3, so it looks like somehow i've deleted part of the file but the space hasn't been freed up yet. So I need to figure out how to get linux to release that inode. [21:01] i think somehow there is an open filehandle pointing at the file and then i deleted it and its not releasing the space. [21:01] darn [21:02] husimon: fsck [21:02] husimon, what filesystem are you using on the drive? [21:02] Jordan_U: I don't think I can get any of the cards marked as supported by the ath9k driver. Well.. I can get a 'discontinued' cardbus one, which I coincidentally do have a slot for on the PC. But then the PC's front door won't close anymore. [21:02] meh2: I recommend against doing that, there are a number of desktop tools that depend on dbus. [21:02] erUSUL, ya that was my thought, i just didn't feel like rebooting :P [21:02] ZykoticK9, ext4 [21:03] reboot is the root of all evil. [21:03] husimon, is this connected by USB? [21:03] hi, I have encountered this bug: http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bluetooth/2010-04/msg00029.html and would like to know if there is a fix [21:03] ZykoticK9, nope its my home dir [21:03] husimon: sudo fuser /path/to/deleted/file [21:03] Jordan_U, sec, trying. [21:04] need help to extract exe file, but wine didn't help me [21:04] PulseAudio input problems? Anyone? Output and headphone jack auto-sense is working correctly, but microphone jack registers no signal at all. [21:04] Jordan_U, the filename? or just the path? [21:04] Question: Will the apache 2.2.16 be included in ubuntu 10.04.01 to fix the ssl bug? [21:04] hi all [21:04] Jordan_U, I guess only the path since the file isn't there [21:04] hello. [21:04] Does vnc-server working on ubuntu ? [21:05] husimon: The full path including what the filename was before it was deleted. [21:05] hello folks. i'm googling around and not coming up with much about why chromium's latest build that i got from upgrade manager won't start now. gdb shows a segfault but i don't know where to go from there [21:05] Jordan_U, doesn't work since it says the file doesn't exist [21:06] husimon: you could also try "lsof | grep somefilenamepattern" [21:06] thune3, tried that first, didn't show up [21:06] hi, I have encountered this bug: http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bluetooth/2010-04/msg00029.html and would like to know if there is a fix; lsusb says I am using a Cambridge Silicon Radio dongle [21:07] Is this still supported https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [21:07] husimon: sudo lsof | grep /path/to/deleted/file [21:07] fajkje: I got this problem just yesterday, I didn't have perms on it's config folder [21:07] Godzilla: ahhh will check right now [21:07] hey. anyone here has idea how to fix "Green HDMI" problem? everything thats supposed to be black is green. this happened on Windows too, but only during startup. Fixed when windows was loaded. but now I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and this problem wont go away [21:08] whats the difference between FreeNX and Google's NeatX ? === jimmybaker_ is now known as jimmybaker [21:08] fajkje: I was restoring some files, and root owned it. wouldn't start till I fixed it [21:08] So I'm running 9.10, I have a encrypted home partition, what should an upgrade to 10.4 do? (I've held off because I've been working on some papers, but I finally finished them...) [21:08] ubuntu420, That link you provided explains all the differences. [21:08] Q: a) I do gksudo nvidia-settings b) set resolution to 1600x1200 - works perfectly c) I press 'save to x conf file' <- this is confirmed to work. d) I restart f) resolution reset to 1280x1024, xorg.conf seems to be > ignored <. Running 10.04 latest nvidia prop drivers 256.44 [21:08] Jordan_U, ya tried that, nothing. [21:08] Godzilla: we talking about ~/.config/chromium ? i have perms on it and on everything under it that i can see so far [21:08] Q: not sure how to attack this problem === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [21:09] Jordan_U, even tried lsof +L1 to list all files with less then a link count of 1 [21:09] cypher-neo: just saw it. [21:09] fajkje: yeah, if not that then I don't know [21:09] will try out freenx [21:09] husimon: Are there other hard links to the same file? [21:09] So I'm running 9.10, I have a encrypted home partition, what should an upgrade to 10.4 do? (I've held off because I've been working on some papers, but I finally finished them...) *anyone* [21:09] ubuntu420, And since FreeNX is not supported by Ubuntu, it [21:09] Hi Guys, having an issue with static IP addresses, for some reason the computer wont let me/wont connect to the network when I assign a 192.168.x.x ip address that the rest of my network uses but works with a 10.0.x.x address that it gets from DHCP, DHCP server is currently a router and am running 10.04. [21:09] fajkje: sorry [21:09] Godzilla: thanks for hte idea though. [21:10] ubuntu420, And since FreeNX is not supported by Ubuntu, while it may work on Lucid... I don't know how long that will last. [21:10] hi, anyone available for a question? [21:10] Jordan_U, i didn't make any.. [21:10] i have a huge problem! [21:10] tobyrose115: do you have any other 10.0.x.x addresses? [21:10] dri-problems: then just ask [21:10] Jordan_U, and du -sh shows less space then df -kh shows for that partition [21:10] ubuntu420, However, the package seems to be in active development. [21:10] thats great. [21:10] tobyrose115: your ubuntu box will be on a different subnet than the rest of the network and incapable of talking to anything but what is inside its own subnet (black voodoo magic excluded) [21:10] hope it worls [21:10] works [21:11] no none on the network, all the rest are 192.168, the router seems to be doing some NAT though as it doesnt have an 10.0.x.x in the connected dhcp clients list [21:11] ubuntu420, Let me know how it goes. :) [21:11] *anyone* so if I upgrade, will it break my internet? nvidia drivers? sound system? [21:11] look. i just installed ubuntu. i'm really happy for it. i installed it on a partition. then, after i test it for a couple of days, i decide to give up windows and delete it. the next second, i can't open my notebook anymore. i reinstalled windows now. and now, it doesn't ask me to pick which OS i wanna log into. [21:11] how can i fix this? [21:11] cypher-neo: will do [21:11] Slsart you still here [21:11] dri-problems: what you need is a live disk so that you can reinstall grub [21:11] tobyrose115: if your router is also in the 10.0.x.x network, then it will not communicate with your ubuntu box [21:12] dri-problems: are you sure that you just deleted Windows, and not anything else? [21:12] Godzilla, i'm new to linux. i never had it, i am a computer noob. please tell me as if i was a little retard. [21:12] Aeronius: try it for yourself, it does not break then your all good, if it does well good luck. [21:12] Guess i'll reboot and it will unlink [21:12] oh well [21:12] well, i had windows on C, and ubuntu on E. i deleted / formatted the whole C. [21:12] dri-problems: let me google for a how to [21:12] dri-problems, lol [21:12] i still have ubuntu folder in the E partition. [21:12] dri-problems: if you installed windows in all the disk, reinstall ubuntu; if you did it in a separate partition restore the grub; you can try that with supergrubdisk [21:13] trying to write a html mail in evolution, does anyone how do it get it to parse the markup, cant see it anway [21:13] dri-problems: do you still have the cd that you installed ubuntu from? [21:13] no, i downloaded it for free from the web site. [21:13] ubuntu420: you mean a live cd? of course... === Paul3 is now known as Paul84 [21:13] dri-problems, you've overwritten your boot loader :) you'll have to reinstall grub via the live cd [21:13] i don't know what a 'grub' is... [21:13] dri-problems: try EasyBCD it helps you to get your ubuntu in windows bootloader [21:13] mechcozmo: how do I know if my router is in the 10.0.x.x network? am slightly confused by it to be honest! [21:13] dri-problems: grub is your bootloader, it is what loads the operating system [21:14] tobyrose115: are you on ubuntu or windows currently? [21:14] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [21:14] i must say i use an Acer netbook. [21:14] that's for you dri-problems [21:14] dri-problems: how did you install ubuntu? did you use wubi? or did you boot into the installer [21:14] im looking now. [21:14] i love the path to that page :) [21:14] i downloaded the .iso image and with daemon tools i installed it on a blank partition.

I downloaded wine but everytime I open it, it "encounters a problem and needs to close" [21:14] dri-problems: Mounted or installed? [21:14] course that may not work since you had it on E and not C [21:15] dri-problems: oh, your running live, you haven't really installed ubuntu [21:15] so its probably hd0,1 [21:15] mounted, then installed it. [21:15] tobyrose115: start->run->"cmd"; type "ipconfig" [21:15] instead of hd0,0 [21:15] tobyrose115: what's the gateway? [21:15] i preffer to keep other stuff on C :) [21:15] dri-problems: ok, do you have a flash drive? 2gb or bigger? or can you burn a cd? [21:15] 192.168.1.1 [21:16] Aeronius: if your running a liveCD it will not break your system. [21:16] i have both. but i preffer th eflash drive, since i didnt install anything now. since i just installed windows to be able to get in here. [21:16] flash drive in! [21:16] tobyrose115: and it's giving out 10.0.x.x addresses? [21:16] need help to extract exe file, but wine didn't help me [21:16] lap_dragon, Why are you trying to run your cam through Wine? Why not use a Linux cam program? [21:16] janicko: What do you mean by "extract"? Is it a self extracting archive? [21:16] yes but only to the ubuntu box and only since a fresh install today, its giving a 192.168.x.x address to all the other boxes on the system [21:17] are ther any good linux programs that are similar to manycam? [21:17] Right. So I use virtualbox, and I would like to back up my Windows virtual machine but it will take at least 2 dvd's to backup, any suggestions? [21:17] Aeronius, external hd? [21:17] None, is there a program to break files into parts? [21:17] did any off you had GCJ PLUGIN: thread and then ssegmentation fauult in web browser? i'm having this problem in google-chromium [21:17] lap_dragon, If a webcam is supported on Linux it can be used by any program that supports cams. [21:17] Jordan_U: actually it is instaling program for wireless router and need to open it for installing it on ubuntu [21:18] tobyrose115: so your router is giving out class-C addresses to everything like we'd expect, but Ubuntu is getting a class-A address... correct? [21:18] lap_dragon: and what does that do¿ [21:18] I have a lot of blank dvds [21:18] does linux support logitec? [21:18] Aeronius, ya i'm sure you can google something to do that [21:18] tobyrose115: (class C: 192.168.x.x. class A: 10.x.x.x) [21:18] xangua, manycam adds fun effect to cameras [21:18] lap_dragon, There's no need for this program since webcam support is usually installed. [21:18] mechcozmo: pretty much, hench im confused by it! [21:18] I was thinking maybe RAR or some command line utility could do that [21:18] janicko: I doubt it's needed, have you tried just connecting via ethernet and going to "192.168.1.1" in a web browser to configure the router? [21:18] well, I dont see my cam on my computer [21:19] tobyrose115: on the ubuntu box, what does ifconfig tell you? [21:19] lap_dragon: install cheese [21:19] xangua, It's eye candy for a camera. Retarded program and a waste of HD space... in my humble opinion. [21:19] tobyrose115: might try "sudo ifconfig en0 down";"sudo ifconfig en0 up" [21:19] tobyrose115: or whatever your adapter's name is [21:19] Aeronius: split is a simple terminal based utility for splitting files. [21:20] ok [21:20] lap_dragon, There are dozens of webcam programs available in the Synaptic Package Manager. I suggest you start there with a search. [21:20] cypher-neo: im stuck on section 4 of the install, it says to install necessary files and create the special user "nx" do i need to modify that line ? [21:20] *ahem* excuse me for repeating, but ive got a problem on my htpc running ubuntu 10.04. the graphics card is an integrated one, i3 530... and its connected to my TV with hdmi. and everything thats supposed to be black, is green. basically everything is green-ish [21:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [21:20] how can i enable the visual alert in lucid. earlier versions had it in the sound settings [21:21] hello guys, I have a problems to mount an MP3 player device, system detects it but it won't list it in fdisk -l http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/nv790vpm [21:21] Jordan_U: my problem is i do not know how to install it. It seems it not recognize it and i had advice i should try to windows wireless drivers. and from there i am stuck [21:21] ahah you have all problem!!!! [21:21] aef: Are you using compiz ("Desktop Effects")? [21:21] :D [21:21] ubuntu420, Refresh my memory. What are you installing again? [21:21] ubuntu420, Oh, FreeNX... one sec [21:21] aef: no, i don't even have 3d acceleration on the machine [21:21] cypher-neo: http://pastebin.com/ZuyR5Auq [21:22] cypher-neo: FreeNX [21:22] Ok, here comes a nice tricky one... Is there some way I can make a HDD image, that is actually like a symbolic link to a folder? [21:22] Server [21:22] bindi: the usual cause for such problems is a cable/socket where one pin is not connected [21:22] janicko: Are you trying to get your wireless card working, your wireless router working, or both? [21:22] guntbert: the cable is fine though [21:22] images seem to be blocked somewhere in my evolution email - anyone have any suggestions for me [21:22] mechcozmo: no result for en0 up or down, just no output on screen, is there a verbose option? same issue if i try to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file it doesnt have an entry for the eth0 device. with ifconfig though it gives eth0 as existing and address as 10.0.0.3 [21:22] test [21:22] guntbert: tested with a ps3 and the very same computer, just windows 7 [21:22] EdwardL: That question doesn't make sense. What is your actual end goal? [21:22] kx: accomplished [21:22] bindi: sorry then, was only an idea === theoctagon is now known as tuxifier [21:23] tobyrose115: they don't give output [21:23] how do I enable my camera? [21:23] tobyrose115: if you're operating on eth0, then replace en0 with eth0 [21:23] Jordan_U: both, for now i have no succes [21:23] hello, im using pendrivelinux to create a portable linux install and i need to figure out how to make it completely persistant. is there something i can do in ubuntu to do that? technically im on the livecd right now, but its running off my portable harddrive. [21:23] tobyrose115, is this a VirtualBox VM install? [21:23] mechcozmo: I did! en0 gave a device not found error [21:23] tobyrose115: makes sense [21:24] ubuntu420, I've never used FreeNX before... [21:24] mechcozmo: nope, full install [21:24] janicko: If you can work on them separately that will simplify things greatly. Do you have an already configured wireless router available to use while working on getting your wireless card working? [21:24] k. [21:24] I can't get it to work on tinychat a box keeps appearing that says "click allow and remember" [21:24] tobyrose115: after running the down/up cycle what does ifconfig eth0 give? [21:24] ubuntu420, If that command doesn't work though, you might try switching to the option listed for older versions. [21:24] But I don't see any clickable allows or remembers [21:24] Jordan_U: any idea? [21:24] maco, got it all working - YESSS! [21:24] ubuntu420, You would need to change some of the syntax though [21:24] tobyrose115: the name depends on the kind of card you have. i get en0, you get eth0, you can get all kinds of other names... [21:24] chemical_death, victory! Ich hab's geschaft! [21:25] how do I get rid of this error when I run apt-get update? W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 79114BDCE21DD54D [21:25] mechcozmo: yeah realise that, after the up down cycle it give the same information, still 10.0.0.3 [21:25] it seems to have started to appear recently [21:25] aef: Are you familiar with "gconf-editor"? [21:25] Jordan_U: yes [21:26] Jordan_U: Ok, I've installed VirtualBox, and I'm installing WinXP on that. What I can see in the VirtualBox is that it only accepts images and no folders as HDDs. Wish to make sdb7 look like a new partition in this virtual WinXP. [21:26] aef: Try changing "/apps/metacity/general/visual_bell [21:26] anybody kno how to get my logtec webcam to work on ubuntu?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [21:26] Jordan_U: so why did they remove the config option? [21:26] If you have "Ubuntu 10.4" . how do you like it? [21:26] lap_dragon; i havent worked with that in a while, but you may want to look into the v4l drivers [21:26] !signature [21:26] !signatures [21:26] tobyrose115: ifconfig eth0 192.168.xxx.xxx (replace the x with valid numbers) [21:26] !pubkey [21:27] !publickey [21:27] * lap_dragon has no idea what v4l drivers mean or are [21:27] Jordan_U: no, i am not such prof. and need help. I bought wireless router and i thought it would work but when i connect it it didn't recognize and i just tryed to do it in way i did with wired but that wasn't working and from there i am lost [21:27] tobyrose115: actually, does your router let you set DHCP addresses by MAC address? [21:27] aef: I don't know, and it may in fact have just been moved. I didn't use the feature before. [21:27] hola buenas tardes [21:27] lap_dragon http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/ [21:27] levene: KEY=completekeyhere; gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $KEY && gpg --export --armor $KEY | sudo apt-key add - [21:28] mechcozmo: dont know if it does or not, havnt tried it. after the ifconfig 192.168.x.x i assume i need to run a up and down cycle? [21:28] tobyrose115: nope [21:28] mechcozmo: ok it changed the ip but now no internet connectivity [21:28] janicko: What have you done so far in Ubuntu for configuring things? If you can't remember everything you've done then I think it's work initially debugging from a LiveCD as it's a known environment. === Neurotiquette is now known as mdpatrick [21:28] tobyrose115: but if your router does have that option, it may be the easiest; just tell it the address you want it to get and the MAC address of the card, and ta-da! [21:28] janicko: *worth [21:29] aef: if its gone, that definitely an accessibility bug [21:29] mechcozmo: same as happened to me when i attempted manual change before [21:29] tobyrose115: are you on a university network? [21:29] soreau: hm, so that will somehow be secure and everything? i guess the subkeys.pgp.net server should be trusted [21:29] !es | Jaimen [21:29] Jaimen: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[21:29] soreau: erm, and thanks :) [21:30] Hello Ubuntooers, I am trying Ubuntu, and need help regarding Wireless, I am having trouble connecting Wifi with WEP hex key. Seems like NetworkManager does not have this option, Is this true, if yes then what can I do ?? [21:30] Anyone experienced with wow under wine? I get fine fps for 1 min then horrible 1-4 fps for 30 secs Constant cycle? [21:30] mechcozmo: no im not on a uni netowrk, the only dhcp server is on the router, i did run a dhcp server from this box a few weeks ago but removed it in the end [21:30] aef: im asking in #ubuntu-accessibility [21:30] Jordan_U: I just installed windows wirelles driver and than i don't know how to move on.

[21:31] @frxstrem I do most all my coding with kate... part of the K Desktop Environment [21:31] mechcozmo: Im pretty sure i did, I formated the box....! [21:31] tobyrose115: might need to hire an exorcist, i hear daemons can be tricky to remove [21:32] Jordan_U: It's cheaper for me to get a 2nd hand 802.11n Airport Extreme than to get a "needs compilation on every kernel update" add-on wireless card. So I'll probably go with that.. [21:32] :D [21:32] @quizno50 BLASPHEMY :-P [21:32] mechcozmo: haha, cheers for the help anyway! [21:32] Jordan_U: most of the other stuff here is Apple anyways.. [21:32] tobyrose115: yeah, sorry mate [21:32] tobyrose115: i'm dealing with my own Ubuntu issues, no un [21:32] **fun [21:33] mechcozmo: yeah, im just really confused as to why its doing it, also the odd config of the interfaces file with no mention of eth0 [21:33] janicko: You probably didn't need to install windows wireless drivers. Can you run "lspci" in a terminal and pastebin the output? [21:33] Jordan_U: the option in gconf exists but it doesn't work if changed, even after x restart [21:34] tobyrose115: i've never touched the interfaces file, always used ifconfig [21:34] =) I'm a KDE fan... I just wish it could be more stable at times... [21:34] Jordan_U: could this be related to the fact that i'm on a headless system running vnc4server anyhow? [21:34] Jordan_U: where or what is output (sorry for my stupidity) [21:35] i would like to build a lin* box with squid (2 or 3) +transparent +ldap/smb/winbind (ms ad) + username logging w/ output via sarg. Is it possible to configure this type of system? also, will firefox work without prompting for user creds? i really would like to keep it transparent so that user/pass arent sent plain text throughout my network as i will be using AD information. I will need to have username reporting for the higherups as IP/hostname is not [21:35] @quizno50 I too am KDE fanboi, have been using it since the day I stopped using Ubuntu 5 years back. Love it and hate it the same time. [21:35] i heard kde had gotten verryyy slow with refresh on nv chipsets [21:36] @anmol284 stopped using Ubuntu? What do you use now? [21:36] janicko: "output" is what a command prints to the screen when you run it from a terminal. [21:36] !terminal | janicko [21:36] janicko: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[21:38] when I plug out the ethernet cable my system freezes. When I pull it back on, after some time, it unfreezes. Any idea why this is happening? [21:38] @anmol284 what desktop does arch use? [21:38] i dont think i can disconnect it to see, im using pendrivelinux to load ubuntu livecd [21:39] aef: Sounds like the mouse events may not be being sent properly. Have you tried testing with "xev"? [21:39] tobyrose115: did I read correctly? you have a machine that seems to get its ip address from another dhcp server? [21:39] @quizno50 KDE, I am one of few people who even used 4.0 as their default DE/SC [21:40] Jordan_U: the symbols are displayed as being dragged [21:40] they are pulled back if released [21:40] anmol284; i used to use blackbox over kde most of the time [21:40] anyone know how to change the text size for evolution [21:40] quizno50: arch uses no de by default, you choose what to install [21:40] then blackbox forked to flux and was still great an minimal [21:40] aef: Odd, no idea then. [21:41] nice... I'll have to give it a try sometime... [21:41] Jordan_U: done it [21:41] aef: audible bells are also gone, so you're not missing anything without the visual bell it seems [21:41] aef: compiz is able to do a visual bell [21:41] Jordan_U: indeed, very odd [21:41] janicko: You need to post the URL for the paste here. [21:41] @sideone I can understand why you would do that. Kwin is the part which sucks and rocks at the same time. [21:41] Hey, how do I let Dbus auto start?

I have usb dongle in but it is Belkin, not Nvidia [21:46] janicko: A USB dongle would not show up in "lspci" [21:46] n8 [21:47] Jordan_U: so what now?

Does anyone confirm this and offer a solution for the inevitable kernel update? [23:04] bathacid: native ubuntu games, or windows games in wine [23:04] bathacid, i'd personally recommend against nvidia.com drivers - and stick to the officially supported drivers [23:05] headkase314, that shouldn't happen if you use the nvidia driver from Ubuntu [23:05] is that because of simplisity or because of problems with the drivers === guest is now known as wechat [23:05] bathacid, both...

All the more reason to stick with the official repo in that case! ;) [23:06] headkase314, agreed! [23:06] how can I do this? it seems it's not possible to set a command by invoking gnome-terminal [23:06] is it possible to switch from GNOME to KDE without logging out?

[23:06] frxstrem: no [23:06] bathacid: are you playing games through wine, or native linux games [23:06] cmwslw, i don't think cron is suppose to be used in that manner??? "gnome-terminal -e COMMAND" [23:07] the game i am playing requires wine [23:07] bathacid: ask the guys in #winehq - it may just be a limitation of that game in wine [23:07] bathacid: not all games work properly [23:07] ZykoticK9: i need to be able to see visually that my backup process is running [23:07] its one of the plat games [23:07] but thanks for that option [23:07] bathacid: it does matter what "type" of game it is [23:08] bathacid: ask the guys in #winehq [23:08] o ok [23:08] cmwslw, why don't you manually run it then, instead of cronning it? [23:08] kk [23:08] blip-: i'm not kubuntu, but http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.2/desktop.php says "Instead of being a separate tool, PowerDevil is an integral part of KDE...It is configurable within System Settings (under the Advanced tab)". There are some powerdevil libraries installed by kdebase-workspace-bin, which you should already have in kubuntu. === batrick_ is now known as batrick [23:08] ZykoticK9: never trust backups to be run manually [23:08] blip and bob?

My Router showed the connection coming from xx.xxx.xxx.xx,39238. Should it not have come from 22? [23:11] nordle: No. [23:11] nordle: On your end it would be on Destination Port 22. [23:11] nordle: The Source Port is different though. [23:11] chemical_death: i understand cron, i just need a terminal window to open for my command === jpds_ is now known as jpds [23:11] nordle, Network Address Translation -> http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094831.shtml [23:11] gnome-terminal -e seems to open a window briefly and close it [23:11] Ok, PCManFM is able to see my HFS filesystem,but the command line unbuntu isnt. any ideas? [23:12] cmwslw, i doubt cron really takes X into account... runs all in a scaled back terminal environment [23:12] nordle: port 22 is the port the server opens to listen to incoming crap. The source port can be whatever it wants to be [23:12] piercedwater: please don't use the language you used last time [23:12] ok [23:12] jpds_: Oh. Every day I realise I know less and less :) My sshd is on port 44. My router has a rule to forward everything coming to 44 to 192.168.0.3:44 [23:13] piercedwater: have you checked if the hfs kernel module is loaded as I suggested ? [23:13] nordle: 22 is just the port what is listen for that service. (e.g. the server you want access) questions comes from everywhere [23:13] isnt it safe to assume it is since pcmanfm recognized my hfs volume [23:13] piercedwater: no [23:13] ok [23:13] anyone know why do I have a green picture when using HDMI on ubuntu 10.04? i3 onboard graphics. worked fine on this monitor, not on TV though [23:15] bindi, you could see if the nvidia-blue-fix works for you as well? http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu [23:15] hallo [23:15] bindi, actually if it's ok with monitor - don't bother... [23:15] piercedwater: what is the mount command your using ? [23:15] ZykoticK9: everything is green [23:16] Thanks guys! In this instance the vncserver "closed the connection" according to my dad, thats the message on his client PC. In the end we disabled both software firewalls (sudo ufw disable) and it worked. But of course, now I don't know who's firewall was the problem. His was set to allow 22 for everyone. Mine was set to allow 44 for everyone. So why would the VNC server reject the connection, I thought it was supposed to be tunnelled over ssh. It [23:16] implies it is, asks for key passwords etc. But it only worked with ufw disable.

[23:21] ikonia, piercedwater what is GPT? [23:22] tripelb-irssi: there is some partition like info in /sys/class/block/sda?/start and size files, but i didn't think fdisk used it, and i'm not sure it would still be there after a device is removed. [23:22] Hey, yesterday my internet worked on my desktop, but now it doesnt after a restart. I'm sure internet works at my house, its just my desktop that is having problems, how do i fix that [23:22] I can't find the FM for adding a particular package from a different ubuntu release [23:22] ZykoticK9: different partition table format [23:22] or I'm not googling it right - I'm at karmic and I need a package from lenny [23:22] ikonia, thanks... never heard of it?

I'm trying to get this wrong info off this brand new drive. ikonia... I appreciate all help. ---- I used fdisk then gparted. then later used gparted (fromt he 9,04 disk) to remove the partitions. Then the install of 10.04 wouldnt work so I got an fdisk listing. [23:24] correction - I meant is there a gnome frontend for the date program, or some other local program that I could use to convert local times to and from UTC? === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [23:24] eventi: lenny isn't a different ubuntu system. which package you look for?

The problem however is that after a while, maybe 30 minutes the connection is somehow destroyed and whenever i try to do anything on /media/IMM it just hangs and nothing happens. This is extremely annoying because the only way i know to solve this is by restarting the compter which is a v [23:25] ery bad approach.

[23:25] ikonia: that is what I have read, which is why this baffles me so badlt [23:25] badly* [23:25] deeeed, if you really want to force use "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture $PACKAGE" [23:25] _DGM_ Wired care [23:26] Yes - My system is karmic [23:26] deeeed: not if it needs to be orced [23:26] and I need the version that comes with lenny [23:26] does that make sense?

That was a stand-alone program so it could be done, with PHP this program is a module within a wider program so I don't think it can be done without making the entire stack 32-bit?

I only briefly used arch, but esr recommends Ubuntu. [23:38] pwp: it's fine I still use maverick, but I was thinking abt tribooting w/ hardy [23:38] <_DGM_> Chiggins: alright atleast the interfaces are still there thats good. do either eth0 or eth1 say state: active?

[23:45] lap_dragon: some are and some are not. there is a page that tells. You will have to find out some info from logitec - they have a page with photos and model numbers. that one helped me out a lot. (mine is an older model and did not work.) [23:45] _DGM_ nothing is plugged into eth1 right now, should i swap the cord to that one and give it ta try [23:45] amr, this may be what you are looking for, a private mirror of updates.

[23:49] SealedWithAKiss: hold shift [23:49] lostintime, thanks. [23:50] CkhiKuzad, Worked fine for me the first time I tried :) [23:50] i installed KDE to use something in the packages installed, but I use Gnome and IceWM instead. Since i needed the kde packages no more, i uninstalled it [23:50] Chiggins, your video card can use OpenGL, mine cant. [23:50] <_DGM_> Chiggins: try sudo dhclient [23:50] Not IRC, but just look at any RE tutorial online and it will help you.

I'd say use what works to get partition table established. [23:51] zopiac, what if you reinstalled KDE? "sudo apt-get install kuduntu-desktop"? Would you be willing to try that? [23:52] zopiac, what if you reinstalled KDE? "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"? Would you be willing to try that? [23:52] thune3 I had them and this happened. I thought removing them would help. It didnt. [23:52] bah...i would hardly be willing, since i despise the kdm so much [23:52] One last thing... Be responsible about what you do. DMCA is a real tough law, so don't try to crack games or something silly like that. [23:52] if i can figure out a way to make it default to GDM after i reinstall it though, using KDM settings, it might be worth it tho [23:52] *DMCA is wrong in a lot ways, but the law is the law.

[23:55] <_DGM_> pwp: i think the american law allows you to reverse engineer and write a paper about it.. but you're not actually allowed to do something with it. something vague like that [23:56] It is really sketchily worded. It can be broadly interpreted, unfortunately in America the one with the most money (i.e. the company) usually wins. [23:56] headkase314: hmmm...still nothing. I will log in again and try then. [23:56] _DGM_ http://chiggins.pastebin.com/9waVR1DT [23:57] <_DGM_> Chiggins: hmm that eth0:avahi is new to me.. do you have internet at all now? [23:57] Hello, I am having a problem such that my X Window will periodically crash at random intervals... I have a Xorg.0.log if anyone wants to look as well as a listing of the output of lshw -c display. From the log, it would appear to have something to do with AIGLX, as it consistently shows up like that right before it crashes. Thank you. X log: http://pastebin.com/iFNS6KT8 lshw:http://pastebin.com/CafiMuqN [23:57] <_DGM_> Chiggins: if not, http://omingo.zorngrid.com/ [23:57] headkase314: still nothing [23:58] _DGM_ Apparently I do... ? [23:58] zopiac, sorry, I don't know where to go from here. Hopefully someone else can help generate some leads.. Post your situation every few minutes till someone bites? [23:58] headkase314: yeah, thanks though! [23:58] Hello. I have an annoying problem on my gf's ubuntu box. At the login screen and when log onto my account, everything is fine and my resolution is 1920x1080 just like I want it (the 1st entry in the Section "Screen" / Option "metamodes" string, which should be the default)... However, when she logs on to her account, it goes to 640x480 :( Where can I change this? [23:58] <_DGM_> Chiggins: you do now? ok grats :P if you dont anymore randomly afterwards use the instructions on that page [23:58] zopiac, you're welcome! :) [23:59] thune3 right. I just discovered that. I did this --- sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1 --- is this what you meant? [23:59] only reason i want gdm back is that i dont know how to get to icewm from CLI login [23:59] once i login it automatically runs Gnome [23:59] _DGM_ Ha weird, well thanks for all the help :) [23:59] <_DGM_> Chiggins: np :P [23:59] What interface is receiving the iinternet?
