[00:00] isakill: check out www.moodle.org ... course management system open source package designed to help educators create effective etc etc. etc [00:00] DasEi: But I am not running this system now; I'm locked out of it until I can log in to a command line [00:00] I'm running on a liveCD [00:00] BuckWild`: samba runs fine here and is most flexible as all OSes can access it without extra software [00:00] ActionParsnip, I've also bumped into a lot of people in the industry (my company and companies we've worked with) who are supposedly microsoft certified, yet seem to have no idea how to control a windows computer besides what any novice/mid-level person would know (i.e. nothing is red in the event monitor, so everything must be fine) [00:00] janicko: Uh, it's a google thing. search for your manufacturer, model number, and 'default password', then enter it. [00:00] Roey: locked out ? no x ? [00:00] jgcampbell300 http://www.steve-lacey.com/blogarchives/2006/11/linux_as_a_wind.shtml see if thats helpful at all [00:00] X gets stuck === DevAkim|aFK is now known as DevAkim [00:00] my blue tooth headphones say connected under the bluetooth devices menu, but it does not show up in the audio devices in sound preferences -why? [00:00] i would like to thank you guys for all your info and insight [00:00] or rather, the KDE * * * * *screen gets stuck [00:01] ActionParsnip, different strokes for different folks :) [00:01] ethernet works, wifi to same router gets assigned IP but can't ping anything beyond the router .... what to try? [00:01] will see you guys later ... have a good evening [00:01] DasEi: all that above [00:01] BuckWild`: how do you mean "control a windows computer"? [00:01] ActionParsnip, s/control/administer/; [00:01] like remote desktop [00:02] ActionParsnip, getting MS certified is without a doubt a good career move, but I don't know that it means you know anything about anything, just as with any other certification [00:02] Roey: boot single user mode (rescue mode) , or hit Alt-Ctrl-F1 [00:02] it doesn't respond to ctrl-alt-f1 [00:02] and how do I get the grub prompt to appear?? [00:02] Roey: It's not taking you seriously. Press harder. [00:03] Why does compizconfig reactivate some of my windows handling plugins when I "uncheck" them?? No messages at all, nothing about this and that needed for some other plugin to work.. [00:03] hi [00:03] * dlublink is trying to use a Netopia 3347 router with his Ubuntu 10.04 ubuntu. Any time he tries to make a TCP connection, it takes at least 30 seconds to setup. But the weird thing is, pings go through instantly. Windows partition works fine. Is there some tcp parameter in the kernel that was tweaked for ubuntu that might cause such an issue ? [00:03] Roey: IIRC, grub menu is [00:03] BuckWild`: oh totally, but when you are a business continuity centre managing thousands of servers, it kinda helps if you know about domains and forests :) [00:03] Rabbitbunny: ok.. really? [00:03] which tool can i take for recording videos with my webcam? [00:03] Roey: when grub2 starts to load , tap left shift until you get the bootmenue [00:03] Rabbitbunny: ok, I will try that [00:03] fbe^: recordmydesktop [00:03] and from there, single-user mode [00:03] and then service gdm stop [00:03] right? [00:03] Roey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:03] * Rabbitbunny has no idea [00:03] heh ok [00:03] OVERSCAN help please. 720p Panasonic tc-p42c2, intel 4500mhd. [00:03] I'll be back [00:04] like terminator [00:04] but hopefully less than ten years every time [00:04] ActionParsnip: i want to record a video with my headset and my webcam [00:04] ActionParsnip, I'd imagine, I'm actually a developer, so high level administration stuff isn't really my bag. [00:04] dlublink that an at&t dsl router? [00:04] !who | roey [00:04] roey: 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 :) [00:04] roey: no.. [00:04] Wiesshund, not it is not. It is using Caneris.ca, they don't mess with connections [00:05] DasEi: He already ran. Hopefully he comes back when it doesn't work. [00:05] fbe^: like record audio and webcam footage, like a piece-to-camera ? [00:05] Rabbitbunny: saw it by TAB [00:05] dlublink but it is a dsl router? or no? [00:05] I'm getting http://pastebin.com/kdkWeFx6 .. xsessoins won't start.. but if I ssh -X to the box, x applications come up.. GDM / XDM won't come up (but I hear the noises) what gives? [00:05] DasEi: I is teh slows. [00:05] It is an ADSL integrated with the router [00:06] I have a file that is in user1 home dir.. however i want that file to be accessed by user2 (read+write) how can i do that? chmod or chown? [00:06] ActionParsnip: yeah [00:06] dlublink you have ubuntu set for auto and ipv6 turned off? [00:06] unique: Well, first you move it, then you chmod it. [00:06] Scunizi, sorry for the delay, I was actually on moodle. currently looking through their plugin repository [00:07] unique: either chown to user2 or add user2 to same group as owns the dir and chmod g+r g+w [00:07] Wiesshund, I believe so. I have made no changes to the network configuration [00:07] fbe^: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam shows some apps that can record video [00:07] isakill: that link to ubuntuforums earlier has a wealth of info.. I've always been interested in this aspect of Ubuntu in local schools to help districts save tons of $$'s and further educate the kids. [00:07] unique: chmod [00:08] All the TCP related parameters in sysctl.conf are disabled ( I have made no changes here either ). [00:08] I think all things network related are still on their defaults. The only extras I installed were amsn, skype and gimp [00:09] Scunizi, That's the reason I'm looking into it for linux.. my kids and wife know windows well enough.. I've kinda forced linux in my wife's lap by not installing windows on her laptop, and the kids by not switching over to windows on this computer [00:09] What's even weirder, is when I connect to the web interface on the netopia, it works instantly, but when I cross the NAT on the router, it takes 30 seconds === adante_ is now known as adante [00:10] validator.w3.org is down? [00:10] Guest79615: how can i chown to user2 ? [00:10] * isakill was hoping edubuntu had a solution but I haven't found one [00:10] unique: if you do that user1 won't be able to use it [00:11] ah [00:11] is that what you want>? [00:11] no [00:11] i want both of them to use it [00:11] ... i really should've just kept windows... [00:11] unique: create a group [00:11] either make a group and put user1 and user 2 in it and chmod to the group [00:11] dlublink the default settings in ubuntu should work (networking wise) im not aware of any trick setting to use with a normal adsl setup. dlublink can you try something? try to connect to w website by domain name, and then try it again by IP address, tell me if IP address is fast [00:11] or make it world readable/writable [00:11] isakill: Teach the kids python and use the pygames framework, then they can teach themselves to teach themselves, it's learning squared! [00:11] lol, how to completely uninstall a program in ubuntu? I need to COMPLETELY uninstall it, remove all files related to it [00:11] i'll be back [00:12] Xase: no one "really should have just kept windows" :-) [00:12] xissburg: purge [00:12] xissburg: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [00:12] isakill: lol! when my kids machines had gone belly up with virus's I gave up reinstalling windows and put ubuntu on there. They complained for a while until they understood it didn't really stop them from doing what they like.. with the exception of ipod's and online flash games. [00:12] Rabbitbunny, maybe in HS but right now I gotta focus on "the three R's" [00:12] Guest79615: there are cases, Linux isn't always the answer [00:12] ActionParsnip: probably true [00:12] erUSUL, ActionParsnip , Im gonna try it [00:13] that's why I had the smiley :-) [00:13] isakill: Oh, well, definatly get the childsplay package, my 4 year old loves it. [00:13] DasEi, ok [00:13] Scunizi ipod and flash works on ubuntu. ive no ipod but others do. [00:14] isakill: Also, tuxmath is like a game, but more learning. namely, you have to solve math problems to shoot your lazer. [00:15] so if i already have the user how do i add him to the group [00:16] Wiesshund: maybe with the latest release ipod will work.. but not 2 years ago when I did this. flash works.. but online flash games that require some type of *.exe install to get it working doesn't. [00:16] Try introducing them. [00:16] oh nevermind [00:16] Scunizi oh those kind of games. yea no idea on those === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [00:17] Rabbitbunny, lol I just played tuxmath.. it is kinda fun [00:18] isakill: Kinda? that thing is like crack for kids. [00:18] so once both users are in the same group what chmod i need to give them... right now its at 644 [00:18] anyone familar with ipmi? im using sol over lanplus interface, rebooted, but when selecting from grub to boot connection drops... i assume i have to enable serial at grub? any special settings needed or do default serial settings suffice? [00:19] how would i add a screensave? [00:19] unique: chmod g+r+w [00:19] unique: Probably a 6 in the middle. man chmod [00:20] <^hiku> unique: chmod g+rw file/dir [00:20] Wiesshund, the problem seems to be coming from DNS. I connected using the IP and it works much faster. But when I do dig and host lookups, they are instant. What am I missing ? [00:21] how can i change the font in ubuntu? [00:21] ok [00:21] and chown :group file ? [00:21] I want to hibernate from the command line, when I choose hibernate from the gnome gui it work fine. When I invoke hibernate from command line it dosent work. Any ideas? [00:21] anyone experience a situation where their headphones balance suddenly pops and balance goes to the left? no messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages [00:21] unique: you can leave user1 as owner [00:21] kind of annoying, just started happening [00:21] O.o [00:21] so chown user1:group file === DevAkim|aFK is now known as DevAkim [00:22] you don't need chown [00:22] ActionParsnip, do u still have any ideas it was working this morning [00:22] just make a group, put user1 and user2 in the group and chmod the file g+rw [00:22] hello folks, am getting my ducks in a row to move to ubuntu from os x.....i see on the d/l page that 64 bit is NOT recommended for daily desktop use..... can anyone tell me why this is? [00:22] well chmod g+r+w doesnt let me edit it with user2 [00:22] is user2 in the group? [00:22] tortoise7, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [00:22] What's a simple way to transfer a folder via ssh from my server (ubuntu) to my client (putty on win xp)? [00:23] thank you. [00:23] haavaros: scp [00:23] haavaros: winscp [00:23] <^hiku> haavaros: scp [00:23] brb gonna punch my machine straight in the cock [00:23] instead of putty [00:23] I'm wrong, chown group [00:23] iggy_: not sure, you could try: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper; sleep 5; sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [00:23] haavaros: use sftp (almost any ftp client can do this) [00:23] what means "basic ubuntu server" software during ubuntu server install ? [00:23] tortoise7, that "bug" is more an opinion of course. 64bit is more "tricky" then 32bit - thus the recommendation. BUT if you're willing to jump through more hoops, it's a better desktop ;) [00:23] what does it include ? [00:24] discozohan: No servers, just a basic install [00:24] even chown :group doesnt let me [00:24] tortoise7: 32bit is still slightly more supported with 3rd parties than 64bit. Both are fine. If you have a 64bit CPU then use it. If you have more than 3Gb ram and want 32bit then you can use PAE to access up to 12Gb [00:24] , ok, i can choose it or not. What's the difference ? [00:25] the perms show g+rw and g owns the file and both users are in g, both should be able to edit [00:25] ZykoticK9, reading now and concur..... Thank You for the link. [00:25] discozohan: No idea. I imagine it'd assume you picked it even if you didn't [00:25] chgrp groupname filename [00:26] ActionParsnip. 8 gigs of ram on a phenom II triple core.... so will go with the 64 bit version.... Thanks. [00:26] is there a way to switch my pgup / dn with home / end ? [00:27] dassouki, with linux there is always "a way" it's just a matter of find/figuring it out ;) Good luck man, i don't know how BTW [00:27] I've got a funky dpkg/apt issue [00:27] custom keymap? [00:27] I have a personal repository that has some metapackages that point to specific (sometimes one version out-of-date) packages [00:27] and trying to install the metapackage lists some of the dependecies, but fails to install them, saying things like: [00:27] Depends: python-pyasn1 (= 0.0.7a-1) but 0.0.8a-1 is to be installed [00:27] wifi can't ping anywhere but has IP from router, wired connection to same router works, what should I try? [00:27] Rabbitbunny: ya the keyboard is layed out for easy browsing where pgup dn works; however the home / end buttons are way up in siberia [00:27] even though I've set the state of the package to "deinstall" [00:28] and manually installing that version with "apt-get install packagename=x.x.x" works [00:28] I wonder why apt can't resolve the dependency [00:28] tortoise7: you can run 32bit apps using ia32-libs and its not hard, i'd shoot for 64bit. thats a whole lot of ram, probably get away with no swap file too. [00:28] So, I am having some issue with DNS. It causes slow connections in firefox and ssh, but doesn't come up with basic tests using dig and host. What other tests can I do to determine the source of the problem ? [00:28] dassouki: I don't know how to make a custom keymap, but i think that's what you need. [00:28] Rabbitbunny: thank you sir/maam [00:29] dlublink: change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4 [00:29] I set my DNS to use opendns, and it is as fast as hell. But I would like to better understand the issue [00:29] dlublink: you can even install dnsmasq and use 127.0.0.1 as your primary dns, if the service has learned the resolution it will take 0ms [00:30] dlublink: the dns servers you were using are either being worked on or are having issues [00:30] I just edited .bash_aliases ... how do I reload bash (or whatever) so the system will see the changes? [00:30] <^hiku> ActionParsnip: I'm using the same servers as dlublink and no issues here [00:30] ActionParsnip: Does it still hit your normal DNS for unknowns? [00:30] Scunizi, type "bash" [00:31] ok i have a question.... [00:31] ActionParsnip: I am trying my best to move to a total 64 bit environment, looking at openbsd, freebsd and ubuntu..... at this time, ubuntu gets the nod. Thanks. [00:31] !ask | blunder [00:31] blunder: 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. :-) [00:31] Scunizi: . .bash_aliases ... or open another shell / terminal [00:31] Scunizi: the command is source ~/.bash_aliases [00:31] yeah i have seen that message before [00:31] tortoise7, if you and a "desktop" environment I'd highly recommend Ubuntu over BSD based system. [00:31] Rabbitbunny: yes as its the secondary :). You need to edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf to tell it to listen to 127.0.0.1 but thats all you need. You will need to set the DNS in your network app too [00:31] this is rather toughy tho [00:32] blunder: three messages, still no question [00:32] ZykoticK9: that worked thanks [00:32] Scunizi, glad to help [00:32] whyme: bash worked as well [00:32] dont you quit on me now [00:32] tortoise7: if yuo swing to bsd, pcbsd is very friendly [00:32] ActionParsnip: Win, Thanks for the tip. [00:32] ok [00:32] four === uRock is now known as Ruhig_Morder [00:32] Scunizi: yes, but it creates a new bash session, my way is what you shout use [00:32] Rabbitbunny: couple that which chromium's pre-dns grabbing and the web screams along [00:33] is it safe to get ubuntu or any linux from the middle east? [00:33] whyme: does that mean I now have 2 bash sessions running? if so how do I stop one? [00:33] Scunizi: "exit" [00:33] Scunizi: yes, you have 2 bash sessions. type exit and notice your terminal doesn't exit, you just exit one session [00:33] <^hiku> blunder: stick to the offical mirrors and you should be fine. [00:33] does anyone here not think that an iranian version of ubuntu isnt going to blow up their computers [00:34] Scunizi, if you exit out of both and restart terminal/bash you should see your updates applied [00:34] blunder: I don't think that [00:34] Scunizi: personally, I have this in my aliases file: alias resource='source ~/.bash_aliases' [00:34] <^hiku> blunder: are you paranoid? [00:34] blunder: I do, however, think you should consider sticking to legitimate support questions [00:34] somethings different [00:34] really? have you guys seen all of the muslim distros [00:34] whyme: done.. thanks.. good idea on that last line :) .. [00:34] Rabbitbunny: all you have to do in dnsmasq.conf is un-comment this line: #listen-address=127.0.0.1 [00:34] <^hiku> blunder: is the sky falling?, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:34] um if you're in Iran why would Iranian ubuntu want your computer blown up and if you're not in Iran why would you get an Iranian ubuntu, are you a troll? [00:34] !troll | blunder [00:34] blunder: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [00:35] Bits do not have a nationality. [00:35] ok switching [00:35] Scunizi: no problem, glad I could help [00:35] <^hiku> rww: don't forget the bytes =) [00:35] Assuming that the hashes check out, Ubuntu from an Iranian mirror is the exact same as Ubuntu from a flag-waving patriotic American server [00:36] if the bites are from bad teeth they're probaly British .. ducking [00:36] <^hiku> o.O [00:37] rww: nice :) [00:37] whyme: even after 5 yrs of ubuntu still picking up on the stuff I ddin't need in the past :) [00:39] ZykoticK9, why would you highly recommend ubuntu over bsd? [00:39] Scunizi: i've only been using it 2 years and I expect to be constantly learning. There are just so many great tools out there! [00:39] whyme: yep.. [00:40] ActionParsnip, never heard of pcbsd..... thanks for the tip. === pushdown is now known as dirtybit [00:40] tortoise7: its the ubuntu of the bsd world, nice and easy to use but not particularly graceful compared to its peers [00:41] last try: wifi can't ping, has dhcp ip from router, router works when wired, how to troubleshoot? [00:42] ActionParsnip, I have no problem with a steeper learning curve..... nice and easy s/w tends to hide to much from my curiosity. === THEEAnomaly_ is now known as THEEAnomaly [00:42] <^hiku> tortoise7: then try openbsd and get an X server running =) [00:43] tortoise7: if you want taxing then jump into gentoo :) [00:44] <^hiku> ActionParsnip: ouch... not sure I'd go that far =) [00:44] ActionParsnip: Jesus, you weren't playing. This is a pretty big improvement. Why isn't this shipped like so? [00:44] <^hiku> ActionParsnip: yet openbsd isn't much better =) [00:44] hey bsd is NOT ubuntu [00:45] How i be installing ubuntu hurd? [00:45] * headkase314 dons flameproof suit [00:45] !gameinfo [00:45] why you want me type !gameinfo? [00:45] !gameinfo [00:45] I need ubuntu hurd how I install? [00:45] Rabbitbunny: no idea, it's spiffy. You can also add stuff to /etc/sysctl.conf like so: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-251509.html makes things faster still [00:46] tolkad: you don't, because it doesn't exist [00:46] tolkad: not hard at all, cd in, answer some simple questions.

Ubuntu uses a different kernel called Linux. You do not need to worry about what is actually used you just put the Ubuntu cd in and install it. [00:47] how do i get the internet to go through my wireless usb adapter [00:47] I need to be using the GNU kernel to protect from proprietary software [00:48] how I be installing ubuntu hurd? [00:48] well, this ain't the channel for it.

[00:51] tortoise7, i've used FreeBSD (and PCBSD) as a Desktop for many years - but FreeBSD really fell behind linux "for the desktop" - old applications, troublesome update process, less support... but BSD is still great if that's the way you decide to go. Best of luck. [00:52] see? this says the ubuntus be working with the hurd. where I install? https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-hurd [00:52] tolkad: You can install Debian Hurd, that's as close as you're going to get.

[00:57] hello everyone [00:57] rww: any how its still dead as its always been(thanks to linus) [01:00] !hi brad8171 [01:00] hello Oer [01:01] i think i might move my AWS to unbuntu. kind of scary. its the only thing here that doesnt atleast dual boot [01:02] i had a question,i was'nt sure what a proprietary driver was [01:02] !proprietary [01:03] !restricted [01:03] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:03] yes [01:03] bah. [01:03] Wiesshund, I have a laptop coming to me in the mail - if it makes it through that unscathed the next test will be flattening it and getting some good Ubuntu going! [01:03] brad8171: 'proprietary' means it's not free [01:03] sorta [01:03] proprietary driver is a closed source driver, without the original code. [01:03] Wiesshund, it's a Vista laptop being repurposed from family. [01:04] my computer says i havenoproprietary drivers [01:04] headkase314 sounds like a fun project :) [01:04] brad8171, in an open source context proprietary means that only the original vendor is able to improve it. If it is proprietary the open-source community cannot improve it. [01:04] brad8171 what makes you think you need one? [01:04] brad8171, that is oke, for Wlan or video. [01:05] Proprietary = not open source [01:05] can some one please tell me who to change the font the browser is displaying? i did add the font but i didnt ask for it to be used imediatly as anything other than a project the font was intended for.! its ruining my text [01:05] Wiesshund, I'm looking forward to it! The only thing I anticipate to be tricky is the wireless networking.. ;) Can't wait! :D [01:05] i just thought i needed to have them [01:05] brad8171: you only need them if you hardware that doesn't have an open source driver [01:05] zus, which web-browser are you using? [01:06] chrome right now [01:06] headkase314, ^ [01:06] my video and everything is ok [01:06] headkase314 if standard ubuntu has trouble with the wifi, you might look at puppy which is ubuntu based but caters to some older and more oddball hardware. [01:06] so ubuntu must ofpicked up the hardware of the computer [01:06] zus, Chrome only allows you to change the font setting when a web-page does not specify which fonts to use. Most of the time web-pages do specify their own fonts so Chrome won't override them. I know, I've tried to change Chrome's fonts too. [01:07] brad8171 : yes sounds like you're ok [01:07] thanks, its been a pleasure deleting vista out of this laptop [01:07] Wiesshund, Puppy Linux? Yup, got a cd of that with 5.01 Live. Just in case I need a different rescue disc instead of Ubuntu 10.04 [01:07] headkase314, chrome is using the fonts i downloaded for a project i did in gimp... [01:07] if wifi or webcam or something doesn't work, look for proprietary drivers [01:08] they're ok [01:08] then sounds like you're golden, welcome to linux :-) [01:08] headkase314, firefox also :( [01:08] zus, my experience with Chrome is that the only time it will use your specified fonts is whenever the web-page doesn't specify fonts. And practically all web-pages do specify fonts.. [01:09] headkase314, all webpages are using the font i last installed, FF also.... how can i change the font back [01:09] why does'nt ubuntu need and virus protection [01:09] brad8171 because it is linux [01:10] zus, Chrome: Tools menu (wrench picture), Options, Under the Hood, "Change Font and Language Settings" [01:10] Zus, have you tried deleting or moving the fonts to a differen location? [01:10] brad8171 : mostly because so few people use it plus open source is easier to protect [01:10] brad8171 really are not any linux viruses floating around in the wild. === FireCrotch_ is now known as FireCrotch [01:10] zus, Firefox - don't know - don't have it installed - I'm sitting at a Windows machine at "work" [01:10] my vista got really messed up and it was uncontrollable [01:11] if 90% of people used linux, it would have viruses too but they would prolly be spotted/fixed quicker [01:11] Sepero, no i idnt i dont know where it got intstalled to.. since the archive thing did everything [01:11] Guest79615 maybe. if the virus coders got smarter and less lazy. i havent seen a unix type virus in decades [01:12] hi, how uncompress a bunch of part files. rar? filespart01.rar filespart02.rar .. etc [01:12] Weisshund: cracker weenies go for the low hanging fruit [01:12] yep [01:12] Zus, how did you install the archive? [01:12] does anyone know where i could get some decals for this computer of ubuntu [01:13] just so there isnt a misunderstanding, i installed a font for a project, and was never ment to be used as an everyday font now it being used by the web broweser nothing else. [01:13] PeterDrop: install 'unrar' [01:13] prince_jammys: and ...? [01:13] unrar what [01:13] PeterDrop: then you can 'unrar the_first_file' [01:13] Sepero, clicking on the .tarball .gz then i clicked install font [01:13] dont work [01:13] i did that [01:14] brad8171: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/598 [01:14] PeterDrop: doesn't work, how? [01:14] zus, I believe you can look in your home folder "~/.fonts" and see if it is there, if so you should be able to move/delete it and log out/back in and see if that corrects the issue? [01:14] PeterDrop: also install rar. you can then run: rar x file [01:14] oh, yeah thats the one with sase [01:15] zus, then optionally update your font cache with instructions here -> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man1/fc-cache.1.html [01:15] Zus, do you still have that tarball? If so, perhaps you can uninstall it by clicking it again. [01:15] headkase314, thank you...ill try moving it,... [01:15] zus, hope it works! [01:15] PeterDrop, unrar x -e *.rar [01:15] Sepero, the only option once its installed its Re-install [01:16] @help [01:16] i put just e [01:16] PeterDrop: ah, yeah, forgot the 'e'. [01:16] what's the man page for the bot here [01:16] headkase314, i do to, the font is wonton and looks as one would expect a menu to look like at a take away join,.. [01:16] !factoid > disappearedng [01:16] disappearedng, please see my private message [01:16] Hopefully headkase advise works [01:16] rar x file is WAAAY simpler than that [01:16] ok coool [01:16] Hello. I'm on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine and I'm trying to setup dual monitors. One of the monitors is being "fuzzy" as if its refresh rate is off. I have a ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 on a Acer Extensa 5420-5687. Any ideas on how to fix this? [01:17] the only thing is affecting is everything i read in chrome and looks like nav buttons in FF [01:17] zus, are you sure it was a .tar.gz file and not a .deb file? Because if it is a .deb file then you can use Synaptic to remove it.. [01:17] clone1018: set the refresh rate higher, you may need an xorg.conf file (or modify your existing file) [01:17] Hi all!! Anyone here ever use ifenslave with 2 wireless cards? [01:17] Yes. Where would I get that. I notice Ubuntu dropped its xorg.conf file. [01:17] To ActionParsnip * [01:18] ActionParsnip: rar x filepart01.rar works good, txs [01:18] Headkase, yeah. I was thinking maybe that was the case too. [01:18] headkase314, not rightly sure but ill look in synaptic - i think it was a.gz on the brown boz icon on my desktop [01:18] hmmm [01:19] PeterDrop: waaay easier to remember too, 2 options to extract is pretty lame IMHO [01:19] unrar e file [01:19] zus, Sepero, search in synaptic for the name of the file and if you're lucky it was a .deb file and you can choose to remove it. Post here first with the name to make sure! See what people say that is.. [01:19] packed data CRC failed in volume xD [01:19] clone1018: you can make one by booting to root recovery mode and running: Xorg --configure you now have a skeleton file you can work with [01:19] hello I'm having an issue with thin clients got them to boot but after login everything on screen is upside down and backwards anyone seen this before [01:19] hahaha, well i have to download again xD haha, damn [01:19] thanks guys [01:20] zus, if it was a .deb file it would be a brown box with a picture of a spiral inside of it - the debian logo.\ [01:20] I didn't even know ubuntu had autoinstaall [01:20] I didn't even know ubuntu had autoinstaall of gz files [01:20] zus, Unless you are using a custom icon set... [01:21] Alright thanks ActionParsnip [01:21] i just have another question i'm on 10.04 ,if i turn off the internet and open other things on the computer and go back to the internet after it keeps loading for internet but it doen't come back on i,m on a wireless system i have to restart the computer to make the internet come back on, this problem is not all the time [01:21] auto install gz files [01:21] not sure if anyone can see my messages [01:22] why cant there just be a button in ubuntu to change the font itself? and not how it's displayed [01:22] jc yes [01:22] jc: i can see them [01:22] new at this just looking for a little help :-) [01:23] jc !ask [01:23] <_DGM_> the internet is big.. it takes a while to load [01:23] anyone know of a program that can go flv>swf? [01:23] I'm having an issue with thin clients got them to boot but after login everything on screen is upside down and backwards anyone seen this before [01:24] i,m usually on the internet from putting the computer on in less than 30 sec [01:24] kool [01:24] jc: hold CTRL+ALT then press the up cursor, should change orientation [01:25] I have just installed 10.04 and have only one small problem. I cannot "Browse" my windows network which is run by my ReadyNas X6. I want to use this box as a somple SMB client [01:26] cursor up do you mean the up arrow [01:26] jc: you can also use xrandr to rotate the screen etc [01:26] jc: xrandr -o left for example [01:26] thanks for you help tonight i'll talk to you guys later [01:27] jc: http://xvjf.blogspot.com/2010/08/screen-rotation-script-with-wacom.html has some xrandr commands you can use too, not sure why its so screwed up [01:28] irc.rizon.net [01:28] ... [01:28] netsplif? === luist_ is now known as luist [01:30] Action my server desktop is fine it is the thin client does that make any difference in your response [01:30] i need to use vesa drivers instead of intel, and that in turn forces me to disable kms, and that results in having to use 915resolution. where should i put those 915resolution lines so that by vga bios gets patched in time? rc.local is too late, because gdm and x have started by then. [01:33] andyn, maybe this is any help, solution #2 >> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [01:34] How would I go about checking the specific version of a driver on my Ubuntu installation? [01:34] Hey, what is the best way to clean a usb drive... i currently just burned a version of ubuntu live cd, so i could be confident it wouldn't do anything... but im unsure what the best course of action is now.... should i just get rid of the autorun.inf? [01:34] Is there any easy way to rename a user's account in ubuntu? [01:34] Oer: yes, that works but those intel drivers have showstopper bugs. there's an open ticket in launchpad affecting me + 40 others. i'm using vesa as a workaround. [01:35] you still there [01:35] Oer: so i have to use vesa + 915resolution as a workaround [01:35] hey #ubuntu, I have a question regarding the ubuntu windows installer: does it install ubuntu with an NTFS root, or does it use some sort of image file that resides on NTFS ? [01:35] moving the font worked. [01:37] aarcane: wubi is the name of the app and it uses an image in the ntfs to install to [01:37] Oer: in fact modeset=0 does not work because kms modesetting is blacklisted already for i810/i915 series video chipsets and the immediate remedy is i915.modeset=1, not 0. however, like i said, using those buggy drivers is impossible in the long run. [01:37] aarcane : if you mean wubi.exe IIRC it installs as a file withint ntfs [01:37] andyn do you use gma500 ? [01:38] I have a system with a hardware raid controller. Can anyone tell me how to query the status of the raid? [01:38] aarcane: this inturn will be directly affected by NTFS's amazing ability to fragment beyond all usablility, a true install will not be affected by this and will perform well. [01:38] Oer: my laptop has a 852gm chipset [01:38] ActionParsnip, Yes, I've been using and installing Ubuntu for ages, I know the joys of partitions, I also know the hassle of having to know how much space to reserve for everything ahead of time :( [01:39] !pm [01:39] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [01:39] one quick question, how do you change the login screen to the old one where it asks for username and password? [01:39] Is there some trick to getting visudo changes to work? I've made it so my user accound can restart the computer but I still get "shutdown: Need to be root" as an error :( [01:40] if only wubi was smart enough to install ubuntu with an ntfs root, I could have one GINORMOUS partition, which is suitable for a laptop installation that gets wiped and restored every few months anyway. [01:40] disconnect [01:40] aarcane: simple, 6Gb for / 1xRAM for swap (or 2x if you have less than 2Gb RAM), the rest for home. Laughing all the way [01:42] Umm, could I talk to an operator for this channel in PM? o.o [01:43] andyn: i assume you've already looked through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [01:43] Dave158: they are all in #ubuntu-ops [01:44] ooops [01:44] #ubuntu-ops [01:44] ActionParsnip, how it goes [01:45] How can I run a php exec(CMD_HERE) as root?

[02:36] okay... having issues with latest Firefox. tab key does not work at all. arrow keys do not work to scroll pages, neither does page down, page up, home, end, spacebar... known problem with the latest Firefox package? this has survived a reboot, reinstall of Firefox + dependencies, new profile, and even a downgrade to Firefox 3.6.3 which I knew at one time worked properly [02:36] Dr_Willis: Heh.. your printing issue gave me something new to look at and wonder about :) [02:36] teage: Synaptic doesn't open .deb files, gdebi does. [02:36] xissburg: grub is called by the windows bootloader. if youre getting to a grub prompt at all, then the windows bootloader is intact. maybe you weren't fast enough at choosing windows during boot [02:36] gino_: which command [02:36] Davide-NYC, try asking in #samba [02:36] Procule: thanks [02:36] jordan_U, then maybe i need to reinstall gdebi?

[02:38] xissburg: because with wubi the windows bootloader MUST load first [02:38] its is Wubi YES [02:38] xissburg: the arrow keys should allow you to select windows to boot [02:38] it is Wubi [02:38] I installed it yesterday night [02:38] IdleOne: There's no Windows [02:39] I heard Wubi wouldn't mess up with boot stuff....it did...

[02:40] can ubuntu be installed on NTFS root side-by-side with a windows install ?

[02:40] aarcane, if that was possible, it would not be a good idea [02:41] i am trying to take an .avi with an existing audio track, replace it with an external audio track...think i got it in avidemux....

[02:42] unknown command [02:42] noo [02:42] its funny [02:42] its like "nothing works" [02:42] arjuna: you coule proberly do the same task via ffmpeg/mencoder. but what about audio sync issues? is it just music? what if its off by 1/2 a sec?

Any ideas? [02:43] xissburg: if the latter, try: insmod /boot/grub/normal.mod [02:43] xissburg: Do you actually have a floppy drive? [02:43] maco: grub rescue [02:43] i haven't tried those...my understanding that they were cli, and i was just looking to get it done....probably a one time thing..

[02:47] j0n00, I have never done this before, but I would look into "upower" [02:47] xissburg: im still thinking hard disk problem, because "help" should be available in rescue mode, so if its not, that means the grub binary is corrupted [02:47] j0n00, upower is a dep of gnome-power-manager so I think it is the backend [02:47] j0n00, what are you trying to do with power management ?

(sources.list) [02:52] flood me not [02:52] maco, i wouldn't mind doing it another way, but i just don't know how. is it easy? [02:52] And will i be able to run clamav from the live cd? [02:52] xissburg: this sounds like a disk drive problem not a linux problem, just happend to show up when you installed ubuntu [02:52] teage: system > administration > software sources ... the checkboxes can fill it in [02:52] DyNamic_ly-faile: apart from that can use onlinescans and point them to that drive as there are special cds just for that purpose [02:52] maco. will not open [02:52] Guest79615: I can't agree [02:52] DyNamic_ly-faile: ive installed and ran clamav from the live cd.. [02:52] hey marco butt out [02:53] !who | DyNamic_ly-faile [02:53] DyNamic_ly-faile: 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 :) [02:53] dexikiix: i dont know of any nice tools for making themes. afaik, you have to just type them out :( you could grab one you like on gnome-look.org that uses an image background, open it up, and replace the image.. [02:53] THEEAnomaly, that is not acceptable stop it === dm_ is now known as Delvien [02:53] xissburg: then try what i suggested of making bootable usb of ubuntu, reinstalling grub [02:53] maco. i tried that. i think i have to do it manually through sources.list and upgrade from there i believe. [02:53] teage: ok what version of ubuntu? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:53] lucid, maco [02:53] xissburg: Does the logs show anything when it slows down? [02:53] Guest79615: I'm downloading it :( takes time . . . [02:53] DyNamic_ly-faile, you can run clamav from a live cd [02:54] xissburg: i feel for ya, good luck [02:54] Diamondcite: logs? [02:54] Or is something like constant disk access of about 500k/sec for roughly 30 seconds? [02:54] hey guys sorry about the flood http://pastebin.com/N7U6ZR7L i dont know how to enable wlan1 [02:54] or at least i think this is the problem [02:54] DasEi: Could you point me to one of those cd's? I need one that would be able to scan a usb drive. [02:54] xissburg: Verifying.. is your problem sudden stalling due to disk access? Or did I remember wrong? [02:54] so in my nm-applet it shows that I have an "Ethernet" connection not as I have configured as "eth1", I have set a static ip within /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 and eth1(2 separate cards) eth0 works and responds... eth1 says no such process? what did I break? [02:54] Hello, Ext4 is getting me very mad about the latency and IO wait. When I have something writing on the filesystem, everything is almost stalled on the system. What would be a better filesystem ? Is XFS a good choice ? [02:54] teage: http://paste.ubuntu.com/477716/ [02:54] could someone take a look at that and see whats wrong with my wireless network === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [02:54] Simeon_H: Did you contact them via http://shop.canonical.com/contact_us.php ? [02:55] Diamondcite: no, broken bootloader [02:55] Diamondcite: you got wrong guy xissburg has no boot after wubi install [02:55] hey whats with the negitive bazhang [02:55] smw: Dr_Willis last time i had a live cd i started to copy some files and it said i was running out of space...how much space does the live cd have [02:55] Diamondcite: I think not...mine is a boot problem [02:55] thank you maco [02:55] i seen my wlan1 is disabled and i would like t o know how to enable it [02:55] xissburg: Really sorry wrong person then.

[02:56] iggy_, when it asks you if you want to download the firmware, say yes [02:56] anyone using etherboot? I ddi'd the usb image to a flash key drive, but two systems that have the bios set to boot from usb, booted to the hard drive instead. How can i verify that the dd was successfuol [02:56] DyNamic_ly-faile, "space" is how much ram you have [02:56] Smw, im trying to get a dlink usb adapter to work and have blocklisted all the broadcom drivers at least i think [02:56] Dr_Willis: looking at the cliffnotes for ffmpeg, it looks like this might be what i'm looking for? [02:56] Dr_Willis: ffmpeg -i son.wav -i video_origine.avi video_finale.mpg [02:57] iggy_, ah, you did not mention that. I just saw the internal brodcom chip [02:57] xissburg: Btw, how are you online right now? Laptop? [02:57] i have a wirless usb adapter that was working this morning i was playing alien arena and it froze i shutdown and when i logged in no wireless [02:57] Diamondcite: another PC [02:57] sorry smw [02:57] why when I do ifconfig is eth1 shown right there.... but nm-applet says its dissabled === beaver74 is now known as Guest38352 [02:57] DyNamic_ly-faile:further questions ? I'd use onlinescans [02:58] tyler_d: try wicd instead [02:59] tyler_d, what about iwconfig? [02:59] smw: not wireless [03:00] tyler_d, ok, sometimes networkmanager disables stuff when you do a hard shutdown after a suspend [03:00] tyler_d, did that happen? [03:01] smw: no, I have configured the static ip's in /etc/network/interfaces, eth0 works properly though not shown in nm-applet, eth1 does not work at all [03:02] tyler_d, you need to explain as much of this as possible upfront. Or else someone trying to help you will assume you are doing normal things [03:02] tyler_d, did it ever work [03:02] smw: sorry, didn't think I had done anything deemed as "abnormal" [03:03] smw: no it has not [03:03] tyler_d, on ubuntu, any editing of config files is abnormal XD [03:03] aarcane: I followed this guide for HDD spindown in hdparm (http://nabeelc.blogspot.com/2007/01/debian-hdd-spindown-kurobox-central.html) but was unable to runthe command (update-rc.d hdparm start 19 2 . stop 19 0 1 6 .) as it said /etc/init.d/hdparm not found [03:03] hi, i'm using 10.04 LTS and have to commit some options to the X server. Where can i enter these options for the "Device" section? [03:03] smw: :p [03:04] tyler_d, I am not hearing an argument though ;-) [03:04] tyler_d, can you pastebin your interfaces file? [03:04] beaver74__: you can make an xorg.conf and add the section [03:05] smw:http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UPvFSGyi [03:05] ActionParsnip, hi, and these options can set alone in the xorg.conf? === Xpistos_ is now known as xpistos00 === xpistos00 is now known as xpistos [03:05] Is Quad-core worth getting? I been informed it is a waste over dual-core [03:05] beaver74__: sure, the rest will be detected by udev [03:05] ActionParsnip, nice, thanks. [03:05] tyler_d, how about ifconfig? [03:05] MarkSS: depends on your needs, its also offtopic here === xpistos is now known as Xpistos [03:06] MarkSS, offtopic for ubuntu support; please try #ubuntu-offtopic [03:06] I'm trying to open a partition and getting message box, "KDESUDO please enteryour pasword to use this device", wtf?

[03:08] smw: by doing ifdown eth0 [03:09] tyler_d, do ifconfig up eth1 after ifdown, then try to dig @8.8.8.8 google.com === xissburg_ is now known as xissburg [03:09] why am i asked a password? [03:09] tyler_d, also try to ping 192.168.1.1 [03:10] My usable desktop space extends above my viewable desktop space. I am using a dual monitor setup with the desktop extended to the right. Whenever I paste an item to the desktop it automatically places the item at the top of the desktop (and thus out of view). This is above the top panel. I am willing to reward any help given with lollipops and dubble bubble. [03:10] did anyone have a power outage (without ups or battery on laptop) and after boot got a problem with the system? [03:11] j0n00, the hdparm init file must not be installed on ubuntu. I'm not familiar with it, I add individual hdparm commands to rc.local === Damn3d is now known as damn3d [03:11] Wiesshund, can i pm you ? === TheEskimo_ is now known as TheEskimo [03:11] st__: because your user is setup that way with no privlidge to mount that device. don't you have the password? [03:11] distant2, yep, but on archlinux not ubuntu :-\. [03:11] is there a rubbish bin in linux where I can get back files? [03:12] distant2, I still have not gotten around to fixing it... [03:12] so why I'wasnt asked in Gnome? [03:12] synvilla, did you use rm or a graphical system? [03:12] DasEi: I couldn't figure out how to make the avira thing scan the usb drive only attached harddrives [03:12] smw: I don't understand the question [03:12] Marine_ spams [03:12] synvilla, how did you delete them? [03:13] I pressed delete button [03:13] what ppa entry do i have to enter for the mainline kernel? [03:13] Hi - I am having an odd issue with the synaptic package manager and the update manager. In the synaptic package manager - when I click on the settings -> repositories - nothing happens. I don't get the repository screen. (lucid 10.04 64bit) [03:13] DyNamic_ly-faile: did you mount the hd ? [03:13] DyNamic_ly-faile, propably commercial version can configure it [03:13] usb? [03:13] synvilla, then the answer is yes, there is a trashbin [03:13] i kept on downloading the debs manually but i cant install the headers, because it complains about missing dependencies [03:13] update manager will not open, can i do this in command? [03:13] smw: cool. where? [03:13] DasEi: yeah, i have a usb drive that i want to scan and remove virsus from [03:13] I believe it is in the lower right of the screen [03:13] DyNamic_ly-faile: did you mount the usb-hd ? [03:13] synvilla, I believe it is in the lower right of the screen [03:14] Hi, I've just upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04, but now animations are all sluggish and the screen even gets corrupted every now and then - what can I do about that? I'm using a Radeon 9200 [03:14] In the update manager - the same thing happens with the 'settings' button. nothing opens. [03:14] aarcane: How would I go about doing that? [03:15] DasEi: how do you mount the usb-hd [03:15] j0n00, vim /etc/rc.local, I believe, and simply add them to the end of the file. [03:15] sabine: reinstall the driver you are using, probably radeon, not ati [03:15] plus i installed this kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-maverick/ on lucid. will this be a problem? [03:15] tyler_d, are you still here? [03:16] DyNamic_ly-faile: is there a option for terminal ? [03:16] smw: thanks [03:16] solved, apt-get -f install is correcting my system [03:16] ActionParsnip: well, it's the driver that comes with ubuntu, so radeon [03:16] DasEi: well there is an option for command line [03:16] hm [03:16] DyNamic_ly-faile: use it ! [03:16] DyNamic_ly-faile: su [03:16] DasEi: ... eh bit beyond my command line fu [03:16] ActionParsnip: there is no proprietary driver for this card anymore, but the open source one wokrd well with 8.04 [03:16] so add this: /dev/hda { [03:16] mult_sect_io = 16 [03:16] write_cache = off [03:16] dma = on [03:16] spindown_time = 120 [03:16] } ? [03:16] DyNamic_ly-faile: root now ? [03:17] j0n00: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:17] DasEi: i actually just booted the live cd, im going to try clamav real quick [03:17] DasEi: if that doesn't work, i will try the avira thing again [03:17] sabine: xorg was an older version then. Reinstalling the package may make it nicer. You may need an xorg.conf file to set better settings [03:17] j0n00, no, you just add individual hdparm commands to rc.local, try man hdparm on your system [03:18] DyNamic_ly-faile: FYi, become root, make dir, mount usb to it, that can scan it, or (prbly better) : [03:18] DyNamic_ly-faile: use ubuntu live cd for support here, call http://www.f-secure.com/en_EMEA/security/tools/online-scanner/ in ff, follow this instructions [03:19] ActionParsnip: but it's already the latest version [03:19] sabine: sure, but reinstalling it may change a setting due to postrm [03:19] what program is good for transfering files from ubuntu by ssh like winSCP does in windows? [03:19] DasEi: no need to become root, just use sudo [03:19] ActionParsnip: which packet are you talking about? === the_rogue_smiler is now known as lap_dragon [03:20] Using compiz in Gnome under 10.04, did i only have to add Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" in xorg.conf or are there other options i have to setup? [03:20] arquebus, is it using scp, ftp, etc? [03:20] ActionParsnip: it's a avst virus cd [03:20] arquebus: (practically) any FTP client will do SFTP. So, pick your favorite one, Filezilla, etc, [03:20] smw: what's the problem it caused? [03:20] sabine: xserver-xorg-video-radeon sounds likely [03:20] arquebus, the default file browser should work [03:20] smw, I just want to transfer a file to a remote shell account I have....thx Flannel, I'll try that [03:20] !info xserver-xorg-video-radeon [03:20] xserver-xorg-video-radeon (source: xserver-xorg-video-ati): X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI Radeon display driver. In component main, is optional. Version 1:6.13.0-1ubuntu5 (lucid), package size 616 kB, installed size 1476 kB [03:21] yep, that === Camaro_09_ is now known as Camaro_09 [03:21] sry, i am using a i915 gpu. [03:21] arquebus, I would just use the default file manager. [03:22] smw, how do I access the default file manager? [03:22] distant2, it corrupted the filesystem on one of my harddrives [03:22] i'm asking because i frequently have power outages running windows without the slightest problem. so was wondering if ubuntu gonna fail me because of this. i normally get a power outage each month or so. [03:22] arquebus, just go to places -> home or something [03:22] distant2: get a UPS. [03:22] smw: which filesys was that? [03:22] cast: well no i don't want to! [03:22] distant2, ext3 [03:22] distant2: then either OS may fail you. [03:23] smw: are you using ubuntu and saying that it doesn't do that? [03:23] arquebus: try places>connect to server>ssh [03:23] cast, great suggestion. do you have the answer to time travel? [03:23] cast: windows xp does not fail me at all! [03:23] distant2, does not do what? [03:23] smw: yes. do nothing. you will naturally travel in time. [03:23] ActionParsnip: did that, but https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/562138 seems more related [03:24] cast, I mean travel in the other direction :-P [03:24] smw: does not cause any system/file issue when booting after power outage? [03:24] distant2: Ubuntu shouldn't either. However, a small UPS would be a good idea [03:24] how would i represent the wid of the screensaver window for the gnome screensaver? [03:24] distant2: It'll have an unclean shutdown and want to fsck after you boot it [03:24] distant2, I am saying the opposite. It has happened to me [03:25] sabine: indeed, i'd still try an xorg.conf file [03:25] distant2, it was archlinux and not ubuntu, but it has happened to me [03:26] smw: no, you say it happened in archlinux [03:26] Stubborn cable modem only connects to pc if modem is fully ready b4 booting pc (all platforms). Can I use linux to tell it I just rebooted without actually rebooting? [03:26] distant2, same thing [03:26] smw: well, i'm asking about ubuntu, but anyway. [03:26] distant2: that's what UPS power supply is for to prevent power from failing. [03:26] ActionParsnip: what would I write there? [03:26] i'm using mplayer as a screensaver and it doesn't quit when the screensaver stops, any help? [03:26] sacarlson: i don't have money for that addition. win xp does a nice job all alone. [03:27] sacarlson, but that does not help after the fact. Invent time travel and your advise will be helpful :-P [03:27] aarcane: So would I want to add the command -acdgkmurS12 (the defaults plus S12 for standby in one minute) [03:27] distant2: I have outages every week so don't feel bad, and I've had at least 10 bad power down as of late no failures [03:27] sabine: hunt around for sample files, you can then try them or parts of them to see what flys [03:28] it looks like this and worse, it's barely usable :( http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/5052/bildschirmfotosabinesab.png [03:28] oh fuck [03:28] sacarlson: i'd buy a UPS [03:28] !ohmy | Maser [03:28] Maser: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [03:28] sacarlson: what do you mean? can you complte what you just said by whether that applies to you having the ups or without? [03:28] j0n00, try just changing what you need to change. [03:28] Dr_Willis: Brilliant!...that ffmpeg command worked perfectly....can't thank you enough [03:29] smw: no all we can hope to to prevent more failures in the future. the ext3 and ext4 seem to make bad power down more talerable [03:29] aarcane: so just add hdparm -S12 ? [03:29] yeah [03:29] Dist2: hard drives will die with repeated power fails(any OS). UPS is best. Used linux 4 17 years in bad power area never lost a drive. Windows killed 24 [03:29] sacarlson, or we could also fsck the disk so we don't learn the really hard way [03:29] j0n00, more is in vain when less will do :) [03:30] does anybody have experience using nagios? [03:30] Hi - I am having an odd issue with the synaptic package manager and the update manager. In the synaptic package manager - when I click on the settings -> repositories - nothing happens. I don't get the repository screen. (lucid 10.04 64bit) [03:30] distant2: I have my main server on ups but have 4 other systems for clients that are not like you I can't aford that many but clients don't loose much if they keep data on the server [03:30] !ask | jmburgess [03:30] jmburgess: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:30] !ask | jmreicha [03:30] jmreicha: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:30] aarcane: the man page said that the defaults were only set when no commands were given. [03:31] Is there any ay to change the resolution of TTYs? or at least control the font size? === Kaie` is now known as Dickaie === Dickaie is now known as DicKaie [03:32] thirtysixthspan: you can use the framebuffer driver and get smaller text [03:32] sacarlson: i think your replies aren't clear. what do you mean by not losing much, does anything happen to the system? does something go corrupt/ crazy... [03:32] thirtysixthspan, kernel cheat codes can do it. add vga=nnn where nnn is the code for the resolution you want [03:32] thirtysixthspan: yes [03:33] thanks. is there a way to so it from the terming... maybe setterm? [03:33] #ubuntu-cn [03:33] thirtysixthspan: follow this: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ until the embedded video [03:33] distant2: sometimes the supperblock corupts but normaly it can be fixed with fsck [03:33] Anybody with stories about running Sendmail with Exim? [03:33] j0n00, only what you tell it to change is changed, nothing else is. [03:33] I'm back from the game! [03:34] sacarlson: so fsck is a tool that i could run right after the outage and it'll be like nothing happened? [03:34] distant2: not loosing much mean not very often statisticaly they can fail 10 or more time maybe 1 of those will cause a problem [03:35] My cable modem requires being fully ready b4 booting my PC (any OS). Can I fool it in linux into thinking I rebooted? [03:35] tyler_d, are you still here? [03:35] distant2: it depends on what the system was doing when the power fails. it's all luck [03:35] sacarlson: and you're saying that in that 1/10 case running fsck solves it? [03:35] smw: I am.... restarted [03:35] smw: came back with no response, how do I restart wicd? [03:35] FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition begins after end-of-disk [03:36] adding radeon.modeset=0 in grub seems to have helped - hopw do I set this permanent? [03:36] aarcane: that seems to contradict the man page "When no flags are given, -acdgkmur is assumed" doesnt this mean that if a flag is given, these defaults will not be assumed, and therefore I should give them? [03:36] distant2: I don't remember a time when it didn't but I'm old loosing brain cells [03:36] what the metter ? [03:36] tyler_d, sudo /etc/init.d/wicd restart [03:36] j0n00, do a test and find outl. [03:36] sacarlson: yes, depends on what you're doing, but normally on outages for me i'm just manipulating software/files. [03:36] smw: why does it only show 1 network card? [03:36] tyler_d, actually, I think "restart wicd" would also work [03:37] tyler_d, no idea [03:37] sacarlson: does this fsck take a lot of time, or is it just a one minute check? [03:37] distant2: I'm saying 10 power downs with like no failure the 11th maybe will fail. it's luck [03:38] smw: its installed as a service.... so restart wicd, service wicd restart, or /etc/init.d/wicd restart all work [03:38] smw: ;) [03:38] distant2: if it's the first block it takes like 2 min if that one is bad I would have to google to find another number [03:38] ok, just because on win like this tool can take more than an hour [03:38] ;) [03:38] distant2: and fsck will just find out if it is bad there is another tool that fsck will tell you about to use to fix it [03:39] tyler_d, sorry, I have been using ubuntu too long [03:39] tyler_d, before all of this upstart stuff :-P [03:39] distant2: the most dangers time for a power fail is if your apt-get install or remove at the time. then you could have really hard time to fix [03:39] sacarlson: in this regard (preventing a problem) which fs is better suited, the ext3 or 4? [03:40] smw: :) all good, I'm pretty well versed, but some things are still beyond me... like this [03:40] Is it possible to rename the user folder "Desktop" in "desktop" w/o make problem to the system? [03:40] sacarlson: it's when installing/removing software i suppose. yeah that won't happen i'd use that in very few times. [03:40] distant2: I'm not sure, I don't have much time with ext4 I'm not an expert on that [03:40] aarcane: Ok, so I added "hdparm -acdgkmurS12 sda1" to rc.local, how can I check that it's working? [03:41] distant2: but I have faith in the developers they must be making it better so biger is normaly better [03:41] sacarlson: yeah ^^ [03:41] How do I add a kernel parameter to grub2? [03:42] j0n00, run it manually, and then check the output of hdparm with varying options [03:42] sabine, edit /etc/grub/grub.cfg [03:42] North_Italian69: Will a symlink work instead? [03:42] smw, you never edit that directly [03:42] sabine: check out the package statup-manager it's a gui to setup grub and grub2 [03:42] North_Italian69: you could make a symlink [03:42] sacarlson: in windows, hdd properties, there is an option that allows to activate 'cache writing' saying that it improves drive performance. drawback: a warning says that an outage can lose or damage data. [03:42] sabine, hold shift while booting to get a grub-menu then highlight the entry you are interested in and press "e" for a one-time use. See smw for permanent [03:42] smw: there is no such file [03:43] which are the default groups in a new ubuntu 10.4 inst? === claw_ is now known as claw [03:43] North_Italian69: ln -s ~/Desktop ~/desktop [03:43] !grub2 | smw please have a read [03:43] smw please have a read: 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 [03:43] sacarlson: i'm wondering if this cache-writing is enabled by default in ext fs, and if so then if disabling it somehow would result in more problem free outages. [03:43] distant2: well as you said your power is unstable so I guess don't do that or maybe you can make it smaller [03:43] sabine, oops /boot/grub... [03:43] bazhang, I know most of what is in there :-P [03:44] sacarlson: 'make it smaller'? [03:44] sacarlson: what? [03:44] PAPI: /msg ubottu groups [03:44] ActionParsnip: yes, i seems more rasonable than make change so heavy [03:44] sht [03:44] srry [03:44] sabine, oops /boot/grub/grub.cfg I think [03:44] *it seems [03:44] distant2: the cache make it smaller, I don't know never played with it. google it [03:44] smw: now wicd only shows the 22. network(eth0) but not the 1. network(eth1) however ifconfig shows that eth1 has an ip and is up [03:44] North_Italian69: indeed, the link will work. you will just see 2 folders for desktop in $HOME [03:44] :s [03:44] ActionParsnip: thank you for the suggestion [03:44] aarcane: The hdparm command worked, but is it possible to check that its being run through rc.local correctly? [03:45] smw: Knowing what is in there doesn't change the fact that your modifications will be overwritten by the next "update-grub" [03:45] Jordan_U, true === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat [03:46] smw: sabine: I don't think your suposed to modify that it grub2 /etc/grub/grub.cfg it's overwriten each time you update grub [03:46] smw: such a file does not exist [03:46] sabine: maybe you have grub legacy installed then that file wouldn't be there [03:47] I lost the windows menyu from grub. This is my HDD How do i recreate it :( [03:47] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [03:47] /dev/sda1 * 1 5163 41471766 7 HPFS/NTFS [03:47] /dev/sda2 5164 14778 77232487+ b W95 FAT32 [03:47] /dev/sda3 14779 18706 31551330 83 Linux [03:47] /dev/sda4 18706 19458 6034433 5 Extended [03:47] shiv: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:47] sacarlson: so dist upgrade wouldn't automatically update grub? [03:47] j0n00, reboot and see if the changes are in effect. [03:47] aarcane: how would I check that though? [03:48] when using imageshack can you still load images anonymously even if you log into an account? or simply uploading a pic w/o an account does i anon? is there way to trakc and manage pics uploaded when not logged in ? [03:48] sabine: if you now have grub legacy installed you can apt-get install grub2 [03:48] sabine, Everything you ever wanted to know about Grub2 -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [03:48] j0n00, same way you checked that they were working just now === Sam_Fisher is now known as Guest75967 [03:48] Howdy Ya'll! [03:48] sabine: No, if you upgraded from 9.04 or earlier you won't be automatically upgraded to grub2. [03:49] aarcane: the only thing I checked was whether the comand ran correctly [03:49] do you guys know how i can activate wlan1 [03:49] I uninstalled something and it says there are automatically installed and not longer required, Can I delete without hosing my system? [03:49] sabine: I just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 but it still kept me in grub legacy, I think due that I have other multi boot systems on that disk [03:49] zus: you can upload anonymously but an account may have benefits. You can use photobucket too which needs an account and is dead handy, or you can use dropbox and give dropbox links :) === RichardG is now known as RichardG[away] [03:50] j0n00, oh. so walk away for 5 minutes and see if the disk spins down ? [03:50] ah, that's great, grub2 seems like a hell to configure [03:50] !away > RichardG[away] [03:50] RichardG[away], please see my private message [03:50] irc://irc.oftc.net:6667 [03:50] !ot | Meeeee [03:50] Meeeee: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:50] aarcane: heh ok, i'll give that a go [03:51] sabine: I gave you the solution with the gui to set it up apt-get install startup-manager [03:51] Hello [03:51] can anybody help me_ [03:51] ActionParsnip, thank you i never used it before and i noticed a widget for dranging and droping images to image shack. [03:51] hi can i install xubuntu 9.10 on xbox then install boxee [03:51] sabine: or maybe it can't boot? [03:51] !ask | PAPI [03:51] PAPI: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:52] i cant acces a hard drive [03:52] j0n00, what you SHOULD do is do what I told you, and that's to read the man pages to get the commands to read the current settings from the drive and compare them to expected results. [03:52] ActionParsnip, i do have a dropbox, photobucktet i havent used that since myspace became popular :) [03:52] zus: both are good holders of images [03:53] thanks again [03:53] anyone have any idea? [03:54] ActionParsnip, actually withou signing into either one can one still manages and or track images? [03:54] zus, ActionParsnip, Tweetphoto is another one: you can sign in using Twitter, Facebook, etc -> http://tweetphoto.com/ [03:54] Meeeee, Xbox or Xbox 360? [03:54] orig xbox [03:55] Meeeee: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page [03:55] whats a good program to play flash outside of a web browser? other than gnash? [03:55] sacarlson: seems that "It turns out that ext4 is worse. The cache writing delay with ext3 is seconds, but with ext4 it may be minutes." i think this is what causes damage to files/system, that delay that encounters the power outage. [03:55] headkase314, ya helpped me with the font problem before yeah ? [03:55] zus, I offered what I could! Did you get it resolved? [03:55] headkase314: not bad, i use dropbox, it's spiffy [03:55] Aemaeth: minitube [03:56] headkase314, moving it fixed it. thank you. some one else aided in the matter as well. [03:56] distant2: could be, can it be changed some how? maybe a /proc value [03:56] thanks to them as well [03:56] zus, awesome - I'm always happy when something gets fixed! ;) [03:57] ok checking it out but my main question is will boxee run? [03:57] I'm doing this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/dreamscene-for-ubuntu-ta-very-much.html . I run the script and I get this: http://pastebin.com/mGuPD5z4 [03:57] Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to take care of this issue? [03:57] headkase314: I'm 0 for 4 tried to fix 4 things none fixed for you guys so far. [03:58] ActionParsnip, that will work with swf? [03:59] does fsck do this: checking the journal and adjusting stuff. [03:59] ActionParsnip, What steps do you follow to repair Grub in dual boot from one hard drive? [03:59] Aemaeth: should do http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/minitube-10-released.html [03:59] sacarlson, I'm crippled - I'm on a Windows machine right now so I can't confirm package names with apt-cache, can't flip through the menus to say exactly where something is.. But hey! I still have Google darn it! ;) [03:59] Guest75967: I've never dual booted [03:59] !grub2 | Guest75967 [03:59] Guest75967: 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 [03:59] distant2: testing yest adjusting I don't think so [04:00] Aemaeth: i believe mplayer or vlc can play swf, not sure [04:00] headkase314: you can install virtualbox on your windows and test it from there [04:00] Hello my mounted hard drive appears with and X in the media folder [04:00] sacarlson, I'm at "work" ;) [04:00] k, thanks for that anyway [04:00] headkase314: so aren't you the boss? [04:00] PAPI: its mounted with only root able to read it [04:01] Fixed, thanks y'all [04:01] sacarlson: so is adjusting file/data according to journal something that needs to be done manually and by commandlines? [04:01] headkase314: get your employee to install it for you [04:01] sacarlson: (after crash) [04:01] *nudge* [04:01] sacarlson, Nope just got plenty of downtime - seeing who I can help here. Back to that! ;) [04:01] iḿ using the live cd session because it was the only way it worked las time [04:01] ActionParsnip, yes Grub2 [04:02] distant2: yes long ago I did some changes to my disk stuf and it was a command line thing [04:02] PAPI: then run: gksudo nautilus it will be ok then [04:02] Guest75967: the factoid tells you how to fix stuff [04:03] thankyou [04:03] headkase314: ok maybe I should just setup an account on my system you can vnc or ssh into to see [04:03] ActionParsnip, minitube was just throwing phonon errors [04:03] headkase314: well they can always use the help [04:04] sacarlson, no thanks but thank you, aren't you worried I'd to a sudo rm -rf / ? :p ;) [04:04] ActionParsnip, factoid? [04:04] Aemaeth: http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/05/23/how-to-watch-youtube-videos-in-the-ubuntu-media-player/ [04:04] ah, i have .9 [04:04] how do you activate your usb card [04:05] Guest75967, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:05] ActionParsnip, well, i needed the swf file to play as the screensaver [04:05] but now i've taken care of that [04:05] distant2: didn't you already run fsck? it should have told you how to fix it if it can [04:05] Guest75967, have a read of that linked above [04:05] ActionParsnip, do you guys know how i can activate wlan1 [04:05] that the problem im facing [04:05] bazhang, thanks! [04:05] distant2: you need details on how to run fsck? you will need a live boot cd [04:05] Guest75967, welcome [04:06] sacarlson: yeah i know, trying to DL that. [04:06] iggy_, ifconfig wlan1 up [04:06] I am trying to change my PS1 but when do a find in the .bashrc script I see ps1 like 5 times? [04:06] my connection fails. [04:06] distant2, the drive you are running fsck on cannot be mounted while you run fsck, I'm pretty sure of that - maybe someone here can confirm that? [04:06] headkase314: no I wouldn't give you that priv but I guess I could setup another virtualbox in your account you could kill yourself [04:06] hi [04:07] sacarlson, ;) I wouldn't! :) [04:07] I'm doing this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/dreamscene-for-ubuntu-ta-very-much.html . I run the script and I get this: http://pastebin.com/mGuPD5z4 [04:07] Any idears [04:08] headkase314: I had a breakin on my website and they couldn't do much, they could only change the index.html file [04:08] Hello everyone. Since updating to 10.04 I havent been able to play spades (a java based game) anymore. Can anyone explain me what might be wrong here? TIA! [04:08] nimbiotics, got a link? [04:08] headkase314: but cool to see what they could do. watch out for those rusians [04:08] nimbiotics, you mean the game is missing or it won't run? [04:09] Maco you still here? [04:09] nimbiotics: I'm guessing you don't have java installed [04:09] Guest75967: I can open the table but nothing woudl show up [04:09] dexikiix: yes [04:09] greetings, I am getting error message when extracting archive with file-roller. "An error occurred while extracting files." [04:09] sacarlson: i do [04:09] nimbiotics: or maybe you don't have java enabled in your browser [04:09] Then ** (file-roller:1950): WARNING **: Could not get filesystem free space on volume that contains /root/.cache: Error getting filesystem info: No such file or directory [04:09] using ubuntu 10.04 fresh install with all updates .. whever i use any webkit based browser i get high cp usage and it crashes if i tired to login to gmail.com ... but all html sites ok even the html mode of gmail [04:09] maco, sorry, i wandered off to the store for ice cream earlier, did you mention a link or anything on the window background image thing i mentioned?

Do I need to add the sudo command to the line in rc.local? [04:11] nimbiotics: I would make sure you install this and see if this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [04:11] nimbiotics: it could be a flash game this also installs flash [04:11] Guest75967: 日本語？　中国語？ [04:12] distant2, googling tells me that running fsck on a mounted file-system is a bad(tm) idea [04:12] oh wait that one /part'd already [04:12] Guest75967: sorry, wrong "Guest" [04:12] sacarlson: thsanks again, will try and let you know [04:12] maco, chinese [04:12] dexikiix: add a startup entry to run: emerald --replace [04:12] headkase314: distant2: yes you should do that from a live boot cd as I stated [04:13] ActionParsnip, got that already, just making sure it won't be overwritten. [04:13] bazhang: how can you tell? it was so short...couldve been 2 words of either [04:13] distant2, so basically you should boot your live-cd and from a terminal there run fsck on the un-mounted hard drive - "man fsck" should tell you how to specify the drive [04:13] maco, shenme [04:13] bazhang: ok i guess the answer is "you can read it" .. but there are words that are the same in both, like 電話 [04:13] sacarlson: its already installed... [04:13] simplified for 'what' [04:13] bazhang: ahh [04:14] ActionParsnip: I made "ln -s ~/Desktop ~/desktop" but when i type the path bash says: bash: /home/a/desktop: No such file or directory [04:14] nimbiotics: what's the website? [04:14] maco, japanese use traditional not simplified (kanji) [04:14] Aemaeth, it activates i still dont see the networks in the taskbar but i know its enabled i restart and its disabled [04:14] bazhang: ehhh its a mixed bag [04:14] sacarlson, distant2, Now you know the volume should not be mounted - even on a live-cd an innocent mistake could be to mount the volume. [04:14] bazhang: for example, japanese uses 学 and that's simplified [04:14] Q: Ive installed Ubuntu on one HDD and windows on a seperate HDD. When i boot my computer, it automatically boots to windows, unless i take out the HDD with windows, then it boots Ubuntu [04:14] games.yahoo.com/sp, you;d need an account though [04:14] nimbiotics, sorry no yahoo account cant test [04:14] North_Italian69: is your username a? [04:14] yes [04:14] North_Italian69: you can check with: echo $USER [04:14] using ubuntu 10.04 fresh install with all updates .. whever i use any webkit based browser i get high cp usage and it crashes if i tired to login to gmail.com ... but all html sites ok even the html mode of gmail [04:14] ActionParsnip: yes [04:15] Q: How am i able to choose when i start my computer? [04:15] iggy_, why wouldn't the network manager be helping you? [04:15] North_Italian69: ok then run: cd ~; ls is the link there? [04:15] Lizzard88: need to have grub on the main hard drive [04:15] Lizzard88, holding shift while booting will get you a grub-menu so you can choose what to boot. Is that what you mean? [04:16] Yes [04:16] Ill try it out [04:16] maco: how do i define the main drive? [04:16] Lizzard88: the first one according to the bios [04:16] Aemaeth, its a usb wireless adapter a dlink dwa 130 and i use ndsiwrapper but i was playing alien arena it froze i restarted and now it dosent work i dont know whats going on [04:16] nimbiotics: it seems to lock up my browser ff [04:17] maco: I will check it out, thanks [04:17] sacarlson: at which point? [04:17] nimbiotics: at the first page [04:17] maco: is there a way to create a partition to store data, without an operating system on it, so it can be accessed on either windows or ubuntu? [04:18] sacarlson: mounting means 'booting'? approximately? [04:18] nimbiotics: first I was redirected to login then the frist page just locked couldn't do anything. maybe try another browser [04:18] <_chun> Is it possible to run the ubuntu installer from inside a current ubuntu install? To save me booting from the live disc? [04:18] nimbiotics: try chrome [04:18] say i downloaded something on ubuntu, and wanted to run it on windows [04:18] sacarlson: same [04:18] hello everyone, I hate to come one here just asking questions my first time. but i cant seem to get WoW to install right, the updater keeps telling my ints behind a firewall but firestarter and router are setup like the Ubuntu site says [04:18] <_chun> Lizzaed88: Yep, have to be ntfs or fat32 though [04:18] me its* [04:18] nimbiotics: I've had problems like this sometime in you.tube.com and I run chrome and it works. not sure what the sites have that do it [04:18] sacarlson: nvm [04:19] sacarlson: that's it, make it accessible [04:19] <_chun> Lizzard88*: Yep, have to be ntfs or fat32 though [04:19] Lizzard88, an external USB hard-drive formatted with the Windows NTFS file-system is ideal for sharing between operating systems. Whatever it is - USB HD or not - it needs to be a Windows format as Linux will read Windows but Windows will not read Linux. [04:19] nimbiotics: I think it's a flash thing [04:19] Anybody ever use screen to run remote commands over ssh, and then disconnect from screen, leaving the remote command running? [04:19] mikeliss: yep [04:19] @mikeliss yup [04:19] mikeliss: are you wondering how to dettach from screen? [04:20] maco: I am indeed. [04:20] maco, im not sure what i'm looking for on gnome-look.org *newbbb* [04:20] Cntrl a + d? [04:20] distant2: no mounting is not booting you can do the command mount and see what is mounted [04:20] sacarlson: i cant remember why now, but at some point i had the same theory ... notinhg ive tried has worked though [04:20] dexikiix: gtk theme [04:20] nimbiotics: chrome? you try that? [04:20] dexikiix: look for one that already has an image as the window background [04:20] chrysanthemum: in other words, login with ssh, start screen, run the command I want, then press Cntrl + a, then the letter D? [04:21] 2.x probably, maco? [04:21] chrysanthemum: Then, I can log out of SSH and everything? [04:21] dexikiix: yes [04:21] nimbiotics: I've never had the problem with chrome it's anther browser [04:21] sacarlson: behaving is even worse w/chrome; it wont even open the table window, but it shows as Im in :/ [04:21] Mikeless: yes, haven't done it in a while... But that's how I recall it [04:22] * Lando-SpacePimp pokes emma. [04:22] * emma waves [04:22] chrysanthemum: do you happen to know how to reattach, should I need to? [04:22] I believe you can run screen -r [04:23] mikeliss: screen -r [04:23] hello [04:23] * Anastasius waves diagonally. [04:23] sacarlson: and the same is going on on 2 different computers [04:23] is there any ubuntu equivalent for orb? [04:24] Mikeliss, look at the man page ( "man screen") it's all explained there :) [04:24] nimbiotics: I guess even if you use a diff browser you still use the same flash. I can't get far enuf into the site to see the source page to even know what it could be [04:24] chrysanthemum, Flannel, Friggin lovely. [04:24] I want to be able to stream media from my PC to other machines [04:24] maco, My best guess would be to replace /others/panel/bg.png - is it standard or trial and error? [04:24] anyone know how to tell why archive won't extract? [04:25] brandoney, I am sure there is a log somewhere [04:25] nimbiotics: you can try a later version of ff I have a self compiled one I haven't tried on your site yet and you could also see if adobe has a newer flash you can install [04:25] Yeah, that is what I was looking for, but can't find it. [04:25] I tried VLC and it does not stream that way [04:25] Hello again iḿ trying to acces a hard drive using nautilus, can anybody teach me how_ [04:26] Does anyone know if it would be possible to change the icon for google desktop? It put a little thing in the top right, and it looks really ugly. Can I create [04:26] I get error in terminal from file-roller but it makes not sense to me.

[04:32] brandoney, yes it would [04:32] papi: ok problem solved [04:32] dexikiix: no thatll change your panel bg [04:32] dexikiix: you need to find a pixmap-based theme that has an image for the window background already (not all of them do) [04:33] oh snap.

[04:55] no [04:55] gerald309: not much [04:55] :( [04:55] can you access Windows at all [04:56] how? [04:56] perhaps through a ubuntu CD [04:56] I don't have one [04:56] okay no screen for access [04:56] xissburg, boot from live cd or windows cd [04:56] You could run a vm on ubuntu then run orb [04:56] from windows cd? [04:56] abhijit, there is no trial version of that. I cant buy with without more information [04:56] I tried windows CD [04:56] The BIOS generally opens by tapping F10 onn start up [04:56] brandoney, or I could run windows [04:56] xissburg, so? [04:56] newbie23, ok [04:56] F10? [04:57] F111 [04:57] brandoney, since XBMC works there anyway without a VM === jbabiak is now known as phonic [04:57] this may enable ability to boot Windows - uninstall all Wubi and try again and check sys requiremetns [04:57] windows 7 ? [04:57] I don't know what to do on Windows CD [04:57] I thought it had bad video under windows [04:57] what is F10? [04:57] Win7 yea [04:57] newbie23, cant help further. windows seems to be the only option now. [04:57] I mean, what it does [04:57] The keys up top F10 [04:57] xissburg, depends on version, but most likely you want repair [04:57] brandoney, it does, but I am told the nightly version (downloading now) has DXVA2 acceleration [04:57] like you tap F8 on start up to get to System Restore [04:58] brandoney, all but some 1080p60 high bitrate files playback fine [04:58] xissburg, then you'll be able to boot windows and invesgate further [04:58] st__: repair, yea I got there but what I have to do there? I tired FIXBOOT, FIXMBR... [04:58] brandoney, with dxva2 everything should work even better [04:58] F10 should open the BIOS panel where you would run a recovery cd from [04:58] newbie23 - Oh, mine is on all video and audio get's out of synch so win7 not option [04:58] I only have a WinXP CD [04:58] is it enough? [04:59] brandoney, using XBMC? [04:59] xissburg, if you would really tried fixboot or fixmbr, you wouldn't have 'grub rescue' prompt [04:59] newbie23, if you have some time then i suggest you to submit this as a wishlist idea or bug to mythv or flumotion. so if they take it seriously we may have it on linux. [04:59] the idea is to get windows back first [04:59] well...actually, in my disk I have 2 partitons..one with Xp and other with 7 [04:59] ok === 31NAA9894 is now known as hiku === hiku is now known as ^hiku === ^hiku is now known as hiku [04:59] st__: I did it. nothing changed [04:59] abhijit, maybe, but I would rather they integrated it into XBMC which is what I use anyway :) [05:00] gerald309: since this convo is going towards windows support can you either move it to ##windows or go private please [05:00] there may have been the grub pp up windows and "install now" - and yes absolutely (drivers included I believe) [05:00] newbie23, yah xbmc will also do. you can submit idea/bug to xbmc no problem. but i suggest you do it [05:00] abhijit, I am also going to try tversity on ubuntu under wine, maybe that works better than orb [05:00] fixworx, do "dmesg | grep floppy" or "dmesg | grep fd" [05:00] did you miss that grub window ? [05:00] newbie23: tversity doesn't run well under wine... [05:00] I go directly to grub rescue [05:00] I don't see anything else inbetween [05:00] newbie23: tried it already =( [05:00] newbie23, yah but you submit idea. why i am telling you this is becaues i can also submit the idea. but you actually faced the problem so you can describe it well. [05:00] hiku, doesnt run or doesnt run well? [05:01] ok [05:01] xissburg do you have 2 hds? [05:01] one [05:01] hiku, thanks for the heads up [05:01] well, I have 2 but this other one is in *this* machine [05:01] newbie23: well, kinda both. install is tricky to get working... then it is very slugish compaired to my win7 media server [05:01] checking some info.... [05:01] hiku, ok, I'll just stick to Win7 :) [05:02] I tried moving this one to the other machine but it doesn't work because of different hardware [05:02] newbie23: yea :) [05:02] newbie23: only thing I'll ever use windows for... win7 media server with netflicks and boxee plugin works great with 2 caputure cards for recording tv.

[05:24] ok thanks all [05:24] iggy_: I see one /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.0/net/wlan1 (net) [05:24] xangua, kubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-netbook [05:25] !puregnome | smw [05:25] smw: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [05:25] xiss..... maybe cut a floppy disk with Grub... http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/4622/print [05:25] fixworx, it's working, or you are getting another disk? [05:25] back [05:25] swm are you trying to remove those? [05:25] unr3a1, trying another diskette [05:25] smw: sorry that was for you. [05:25] did you like start clicking cancel during sinstallation ? [05:25] iggy_: I think we need to go private too much trafic here [05:25] sacarlson, thank you wlan1 is the dlink how can i fix it?ok how [05:26] unr3a1, still fails. gives me the message Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/fd0: Input/output error [05:26] akoimeexx: yeah, I already tried what he suggested, several times. [05:26] xangua, that is not what I want, but it is close enough. thanks :-) [05:26] fixworx, that could be a bad disk, or a bad drivew [05:26] fixworx, drive* [05:26] smw: I just removed xubuntu-desktop and all the packages that came with it just fine. you can always use apt-cache search kubuntu to find the packages that don't remove if it happens. [05:27] xiss.... do you have floppy drawer on desktop ? may be the magic bullet here [05:27] unr3a1, yeah i wouldn't bet my life on this drive. it's old. i wonder if someplace like best buy even sells floppy disk drives anymore, or if the world has decided there are going to be enough drives to last the rest of time... [05:27] ok finally managed to take this screenshot- http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9113/clipe.png now how do I disable this annoying popup? [05:27] fixworx, you may be able to find a drive at a best buy, or try a computer repair store [05:28] fixworx: do you have a fry's near by... they carry them. [05:28] i think xiss left.... [05:28] unr3a1, thanks for your help. i learned stuff. not absolutely critical that i make this work right now, i just haven't had a floppy drive around in a long long time and thought it would be fun to play with [05:28] hiku, i keep hearing of this "frys" place but i've never seen one [05:28] ouch on the bug ! [05:28] fixworx: are you on the west coast cause there are tons here. [05:28] fixworx: ok well not tons...but alot. [05:29] fixworx, yea, np. sorry I couldn't be more help. unfortunately with I/O errors, it could even be a bad floppy controller or cable. [05:29] gagzilla: is that opera¿ [05:29] xangua: the browser yes... but the popup is not specific to opera- shows up anytime I select any URL in any darn window [05:29] fixworx, if its a newer computer, make sure floppy is accessable in bios. if motherboard is limiting floppy access, no OS would be able to use it. [05:29] hiku, midwest. we don't even have CompUSA here anymore :[ [05:29] fixworx: Why are you trying to use a floppy disk? [05:29] outta here [05:29] Jordan_U, nostalgia [05:29] fixworx: ouch... you could also try newegg.com [05:29] no idea gagzilla [05:30] unr3a1, this is a Gateway rackmount server from around 2002 [05:30] Here is a nice red floppy drive for you. http://www.directron.com/mitsumibezelyl.html [05:30] xangua: thx anyway. [05:30] brandoney: =) [05:30] fixworx, :\ [05:30] anyone else know what's causing this popup to show up in Ubuntu when I select a URL- http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9113/clipe.png [05:30] gagzilla: this is 10.04? [05:30] brandoney, ooh mahogany. [05:31] thune3: yes [05:31] fixworx - yeah nice. [05:31] I just bought one [05:31] $8 but they are local for me [05:31] haha [05:31] ah [05:31] ellanceo: Found more bug reports on the issue, albeit older: looks like some people had reported this as a combination of xserver/opengl. [05:31] fixworx, if you wanted to make sure it's not a bad floppy you could put it into a Windows XP machine and see if XP can write to it. [05:31] <[thor]> derr [05:32] i'll throw a fdd on my next newegg order [05:32] what's the diff between a fs journal and log-structure? [05:32] akoimeexx: It's obviously an OpenGL scaling issue that is probably stemming from my drivers or xorg.conf file. I checked xorg.conf today and found it is incredibly empty, but I also read that after 10.04 xorg.conf is handled differently? [05:32] unr3a1, my only other machine here runs OS X and i don't trust its ability to do anything with floppy disks [05:32] fixworx, lol.. yea. [05:33] Apple hasn't shipped a floppy disk drive since 1997 or so [05:33] akoimeexx: Yeah, I'm really not sure how to go about fixing it, but after 2 years, this has gone on long enough [05:33] crazy [05:33] well, sorry I couldn't be more help [05:33] but I g/g [05:33] work tomorrow [05:33] unr3a1, hey mate no worries. i'd be more upset if this were an important problem ;) [05:33] cheers [05:33] laterz === fixworx is now known as zeleftikam [05:34] I still have my dyson ds-dd 5.25" drive for an apple IIe if you want to try it. ;-) [05:35] brandoney: oh wow... =) [05:36] xangua, ty. It only did minimal collateral damage :-). All I need to do is reinstall kdegames and skype [05:36] gagzilla: i'm having trouble finding anything, did you install a clipboard handling application of some kind? [05:37] ellanceo: are you getting anything in your log file? [05:37] xangua, oops, it also got vlc :-\ [05:38] akoimeexx: Haha, which one? I never check logs. I'm a bad linux user, very bad [05:41] akoimeexx: Which log file should I check? [05:42] hiku - yeah, sad thing is I'm older than that floppy drive. [05:43] can someone help me out? [05:45] hi guys. I can't boot my ubuntu system without it dropping to a shell. I tried to enable raid myself. The raid works fine, booting automatically does not. When I drop to a shell, I assemble the raid devices, and exit the shell, and everything boots normally. What am I missing? [05:45] /nick amiubi [05:45] ubottu: ask | realeyes [05:45] realeyes: 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. :-) [05:45] my sensors arent working [05:46] TrentonAdams: You probably need to run "sudo update-grub" [05:46] ellanceo: Trying to find, couldn't tell you offhand as I'm in clie mode on a piddly little netbook at the moment. Desktop's having... issues. [05:46] realeyes: sensors as in hardware temperature sensors? [05:46] Jordan_U: you again, perfect! :D I did that, as per our last conversation. [05:46] yes [05:46] realeyes: have you installed and configured lm-sensors correctly, per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto ? [05:46] Jordan_U: I also re-installed grub on the mbr, but no go. [05:46] i already ran the install command and went through the detect [05:47] alright let me go through this... [05:47] thx [05:47] TrentonAdams: Did you also run "sudo update-initramfs -ck all" ? [05:48] Jordan_U: Um, I did "-u" which updated my main kernel ramfs. [05:48] Next, run "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools restart". This will read the changes you made to /etc/modules in step 3, and insert the new modules into the kernel. <<< on this step I get errors, should I pastebin them? [05:48] akoimeexx: Well thank you very much for taking the time to help, glad to see someone cares. =) [05:48] realeyes: yes [05:48] hello [05:48] Jordan_U: I guess the -c makes a new one. Is that needed if I didn't install with raid? [05:49] http://pastebin.org/481395 [05:49] Jordan_U: as in, install ubuntu with raid. Cause I did raid after installation, not during. [05:49] realeyes: that's expected, albeit annoying [05:49] <_genuser_> Hello People [05:49] * rww mutters things about Upstart === frankbro is now known as frankbro|sleep [05:49] rww: what is it? :P [05:50] it's ... not working, is it? [05:50] realeyes: replacement for the /etc/init.d/ system. Lucid switched over fully to it, except they didn't bother converting all the initscripts in universe [05:50] ;/ [05:50] ellanceo: Yeah, sorry I can't find out any more about it.... I would think errors would show up in Xorg.0.log or equiv. But nothing pointing here in my own files. [05:50] so ... im screwed... [05:50] this is why my conky wont show temp... [05:51] realeyes: restarting your computer should be equivalent to that step, albeit more drastic [05:51] what about logging out and then back in? [05:51] no [05:51] Jordan_U: I'm going to reboot, just ran the update-initramfs -ck all [05:52] :/ [05:52] hey realeyes! im installing conky now cuz i switched from debian to xubuntu 10.04, my friend said it was a desktop monitor or something but whats it like? [05:53] conky is great [05:53] hard as hell to configure... [05:53] easy [05:53] not really, seems easy to me [05:53] How can I go to Ubuntu-cn? [05:53] Julywolf: type /join #ubuntu-cn [05:54] akoimeexx: Alright, I'll see what i can see. Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it. [05:54] justin__: It's not bad... even got it working on Netbook Edition to show on the desktop. Just wish it'd stay there. :[ [05:54] thanks,rww [05:55] Jordan_U: update-initramfs -ck all did not change anything for me. It still will not put without manually assembly the raid devices. [05:55] Jordan_U: s/put/boot/g [05:56] ok well if possible can somebosy email me thier conky config file for me to use? i really dont like configuring it, i had my friend do it on debian bc i didnt know how but i wanna see ur guyses configs [05:56] So, anyone? Been having network issues as of late: My desktop system connects and obtains an IP address, then stops being able to send or receive network traffic after a few seconds. [05:56] hey guys, I need some help. I am using Maverick Alpha3. After updating packages last night, my network-manager broke. Nm-applet is disabled all the time and I can't seem to enable it.

[06:05] amitesh: because you don't know much about it. [06:05] i am using ccproxy on windows........is there anything for linux [06:06] Still having issues with my desktop system flaking out when connecting to a wireless network... anyone? === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [06:08] i need to connect my desktop and my brother's lappi with my system ........and i don't want to switch back to windows [06:08] cast:can u tell me how one can learn(know) without using the same thing? [06:08] whats the terminal command to open the conky config file [06:08] amitesh: read a book. [06:08] akoimeexx, how are you connected to wireless? is it USB or PCI? [06:09] psycho_oreos: USB. I can establish a connection, obtain an ip address, then ping google (or other site) about three times before it stops transmitting/receiving data [06:09] amitesh, try teamviewer [06:09] what is the terminal command to configure conkys appearance? [06:10] But I still retain an ip address. [06:10] akoimeexx, pastebin your lsusb output with the USB dongle [06:10] justin__: vim ~/.conkyrc [06:10] amitesh, first tre teamviwer. if thats not you are looking for then see tihs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Vinagre [06:10] amitesh, to get teamviwer go here: http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx [06:10] It'll be a sec, have to transfer it from desktop to netbook. =p [06:11] akoimeexx: It's probably better to suggest nano instead of vim for new users. [06:11] Jordan_U: Fair enough. [06:11] abhijit:thnx [06:12] amitesh, in teamviwer you dont need to do any settings or configuration. its so simple = start teamviwer in both computer>you enter your brothers ip and passwod > and connect. thats it [06:16] Jordan_U: You still around? [06:17] TrentonAdams: Yes. [06:17] psycho_oreos: http://pastebin.org/481444 [06:17] Jordan_U: So my system still won't automatically boot, after update-initramfs -ck all [06:18] TrentonAdams: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [06:18] akoimeexx, and you're using the latest ubuntu? [06:19] :( [06:19] psycho_oreos: Yep. [06:19] akoimeexx, pastebin your dmesg output [06:19] psycho_oreos: Not sure why it's failing, I've used this dongle before with no trouble. [06:20] akoimeexx, it could be issue with the driver I'm thinking, which might be solved with using linux-backports [06:20] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/ryS7hAn8 [06:21] psycho_oreos: I'll grab that dmesg and pastebin it then... Half a mo'. [06:21] i have a huawei e1552 hsdpa usb stick. When I plug it in, ubuntu doesn't recognize. There are no messages in the system log either [06:21] this is 10.04 32bit [06:21] !hardware | skandar [06:21] skandar: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [06:21] hi guys, can any virus penetrate ubuntu? [06:21] !virus | jenue [06:21] jenue: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [06:22] Shouldn't it show on the system log when I plug it in though? [06:22] hi - does anyone know of a screensaver that dims the screens (desktop, CRT, nvidia), or of a terminal proggy that does this gracefully? [06:22] When I plug the usb stick in, there are no messages from the shell, and ntohing from the system log [06:22] hi guys [06:22] Jordan_U: Yeah, doesn't seem like anything abornmal in dmesg, eh? [06:23] skandar, it may show up when you do lsusb [06:23] TrentonAdams: Other than you using reiserfs :) [06:23] Jordan_U: lol [06:24] Jordan_U: Why is that abnormal? [06:24] i have a question, i am trying to install a login theme. i have installed a minimal install of ubuntu with gdm, gnome-core and xorg, nothing else. but when i go to system > art manager, the install button is greyed out. am i missing a package? [06:24] psycho_oreos: http://pastebin.org/481459 [06:24] TrentonAdams: Because reiserfs has been dying ever since Hans Reiser was convicted. [06:25] psycho_oreos: It is reporting the correct mac address, just blotted that bit out. [06:25] akoimeexx, which driver are you using on the desktop? rt2x00? [06:25] any ideas? [06:26] * scriptwarlock waves [06:26] psycho_oreos: Not sure offhand, what's the best way to check? [06:26] akoimeexx, lsmod| grep rt2x00 [06:26] Jordan_U: WOW, had no idea.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [06:28] psycho_oreos: I know it's stable, I just wanna test it [06:28] psycho_oreos: Looks like it. [06:28] it's not* [06:28] chilicuil, ask in #ubuntu+1 [06:28] psycho_oreos: ok, thx [06:28] guys do i need compiz to handle login themes or what? [06:28] akoimeexx, so the command line says there's rt2x00? hmm ok I'd try linux-backports [06:29] Jordan_U: So, is there anything else I should look at, to get this working? [06:30] TrentonAdams: Are there any error messages before you're dropped to a busybox shell? [06:30] psycho_oreos: Where can I grab the package I need so I can install it locally on that machine? (No net access otherwise for the desktop.) [06:30] Jordan_U: I don't recall any. All I recall it says is that it couldn't find the root file system, and was dropping to a shell. [06:31] Jordan_U: "mdadm --assemble --scan" doesn't work either though. I have to "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3" [06:31] it doesn't show up in lsusb, and Vista doesn't even recognize it is plugged in either. Does that mean it is bad hardware? [06:31] akoimeexx, I believe its from the ubuntu repository but it may have dependencies in which you'll need to grab as well, its probably a good idea to physically connect your desktop to the router via wired [06:32] skandar, are you doing this through virtual machine or something? [06:32] psycho_oreos: That's the problem. Bad eth port on the hardware. [06:32] (Evil dependencies.) [06:33] guys! [06:33] akoimeexx, well I don't have much other suggestions :) a wired network card costs almost like nothing, maybe a good idea to invest in one [06:34] psycho_oreos: Thanks for helping with troubleshooting the cause. :) [06:34] just set up conky anyone wanna see my screenshot im posting it in a few seconds [06:34] akoimeexx, the other is to downgrade I suppose, its probably an issue with kernel afaik [06:35] justin__: is there something new on your conk? [06:35] Hello, i have eth0 interface with inet connection which response correctly to ping requests. But i get distination host unavalible if i try to ping the ip of my ppp0 interface? Is this standart, shouldnt it be posible to get response from both interface at the same time [06:35] i'm on 9.10, even so system>art manager sounds weird. But plymouth handles login theme for ubuntu, compiz has nothing to do with it. [06:35] no i just finished setting it up for the first time and i think it looks very nice [06:36] The_Janitor: back two ^ [06:36] justin__: well congrats but any concerns regarding ubuntu? [06:36] Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook I plugged in a wireless mouse and kbd and now my touchpad doesnt work. Suggestions? [06:37] Jordan_U: Are you here for much longer? I'm going to reboot again so I can see if I can get all th messages that come up [06:37] no not really why? [06:37] crucialhoax: Check to make sure it isn't disabled in your System > Mouse preferences. [06:37] any one here facing problems with google chrome on ubuntu 10.04 loading gmail ?? if you can load it please say yes [06:38] Hi, when trying to open sound preferences, I get "waiting for sound system to respond" and I have 2 processes taking up "n/a" amount of memory whose pids keep counting upwards. any advice for this craziness? [06:38] akoimeexx, Everything is good. I even checked the hardware switch (Fn+F7).. [06:38] akoimeexx, Im not sure whether it was the mouse or recent updates. I want to say the mouse did [06:40] TrentonAdams: I'll be in and out for a while. [06:40] and they have no name. === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat [06:42] thune3, what? :P [06:43] plymouth you say eh? [06:43] sec [06:43] dr3emro: yes [06:44] Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook I plugged in a wireless mouse and kbd and now my touchpad doesnt work. Suggestions? [06:45] hi, i am new to linux....how do i mount cd rom in linux? [06:46] rhonda_, sudo mount /media/cdrom [06:47] Jordan_U: All it says is "ALERT! /dev/mapper/sys-ubuntu does not exist. Dropping to a shell." sys-ubuntu is my lvm [06:47] usually you just put the cd in the drive... [06:47] can't find /media/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [06:47] is what i get? [06:47] Ttry going to places > computer and clicking the cd drive? [06:48] Jordan_U: So, I don't know if it doesn't know how to load lvm stuff, with raid, or what. I vaguely recall reading something about ubuntu having problems in that area in the past, but I thought that was resolved. [06:48] TrentonAdams: sys being the vg and ubuntu being the lv? [06:48] Flannel: yes [06:48] TrentonAdams: The only special thing you need (and GRUB2 may not have this requirement) is you need /boot off of LVM [06:49] Flannel: /boot is it's on /dev/md0 [06:49] Flannel: on it's own I mean, in it's own raid. [06:49] Flannel: mirror [06:49] rhonda_: normally when I stick a cd in my drive it auto opens nautilus with the contents seen in the window [06:49] Hi, if I manage to 'break' sudo... due to a syntax error in /etc/sudoers... how can I get root to edit /etc/sudoers to fix the syntax error (http://pastebin.com/61Y6hNAZ) [06:49] Flannel: And grub2 was setup with /dev/md0, which starts the boot process just fine. [06:50] it seems it is not seeing the cd rom? [06:50] hi MattWB! [06:50] MattWB: go in via a livecd or something [06:50] MattWB: fix sudoers [06:50] MattWB: reboot. [06:50] rhonda_: did you try more than one cd? if the cd is not readable it won't open. try others. try another driver if you have one. [06:51] MattWB: either that, or just give up, cry, and reinstall. :) [06:51] driver >> drive ? [06:51] MattWB: 1) this is why you should have been running "sudo visudo" instead of editing sudoers directly; it checks for syntax problems. 2) reboot, hold down shift to get to GRUB prompt, start a rescue instance, and edit as root from there. or, grab a liveCD, mount your hard disk, and edit it. [06:51] rhonda_: that was suposed to be drive try another drive [06:51] chyou forget 'take shotgun to motherboard' [06:51] chazz* [06:51] gewt: oh yes. Shooting the motherboard is highly important! [06:52] Jordan_U:Should i put an "mdadm --assemble" shell script in "/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount"??? [06:52] rww: can't he append init=/bin/bash to the kernel line in GRUB as well? [06:52] wait. [06:52] Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook I plugged in a wireless mouse and kbd and now my touchpad doesnt work. Suggestions? [06:52] that's what rescue does, doesn't it? [06:52] gewt: that would also do it, yes. there are various ways of getting single-user mode [06:52] crucialhoax: unplug them and it will work again I think. [06:53] TrentonAdams: Already tried that and it doesnt work.. [06:53] rhonda_, lshw | grep cd should show some possible cd devices [06:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword lists them both, in the context of resetting passwords, but it's a similar idea (in both cases, you need root and can't get it from a normal system) [06:54] anyone in here really good with zoneminder i have the app running fine but having trouble bringing in video wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot? [06:54] got it., ty [06:54] how come I can't drag windows between workspaces since upgrading to 10.04? [06:55] 测试 [06:55] Although a friend of mine has a laptop, and since upgrading (by fresh install) to 10.04 his CD drive simply doesn't appear. no /dev/cdrom or whatever, no cd in /media .. and he can play dvd's in VLC but they start getting jerky after 30 seconds. [06:55] the drive is obviously working since he installed FROM it.... [06:56] TrentonAdams: Try adding the "rootwait" kernel parameter, if that doesn't help then yes, adding a manual mdadm --assemble will probably work, but it's a bit ugly and shouln't be needed. [06:56] zcat[1]: bad drive maybe? [06:56] zcat[1]: lose cable? [06:56] bad disc? [06:56] gewt, he installed from the same drive....? [06:56] zcat[1]: bad disc then? [06:56] it'll boot a live cd fine, pass the disk self test, etc.. [06:56] zcat[1]: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [06:57] and what Jordan_U said [06:57] Jordan_U, can't.. he's not here ;) [06:57] Jordan_U: k, I'll try that rootwait. gentoo linux had something like that, which I think I needed to get raid working. I had forgotten about that, and never thought to search google for that. lol. So, how do I get that to survive update-grub? [06:58] TrentonAdams: Add it to /etc/default/grub [06:58] salut === someone is now known as Guest78983 [06:58] allo [06:58] we spent ages trying to figure out what the problem was, I can't really remember what was in dmesg though.

[06:59] Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook I plugged in a wireless mouse and kbd and now my touchpad doesnt work. Suggestions?

I asume it's usb [07:01] How do I find the offset in a .iso for the second partition in that iso so I can mount only the second partition as a loopback device? [07:01] sacarlson: I did a "sudo tpconfig -D" and the system recognizes it as a Synaptics device.

[07:03] crucialhoax: no idea conflict with your other device? maybe you have more than one pointing device [07:03] rajatkhanduja: Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop, X86, acer 532h netbook [07:03] sacarlson: I have an iso that came from a DVD and it is two partitions.

[07:08] Jordan_U: Yeah, I started with rootwait first, and thought that might be wrong, so manually edited on the boot menu [07:08] crucialhoax: there you go maybe update broke it. that's why I never update unless it's already broken [07:09] Jordan_U: rootwait didn't "keep" waiting indefinitely. It eventually dropped to shell. [07:09] ? [07:09] sacarlson: But i wouldnt have known? after the update it still worked.. So thats why Im assuming this mouse changed something :( [07:09] Jordan_U: What scripts should I check on my system, that the initramfs uses, to see what might be happening? [07:10] crucialhoax: maybe it's the mouse. they take battieries you know [07:10] sacarlson: ? [07:11] crucialhoax: you said wirless [07:11] sacarlson: Im goin to try a new user account Ill be right bak, will you still be here? [07:11] sacarlson: No my touchpad is broken..

I'm using a dual boot system. and /dev/sda1 refers to the Windows primary partition [07:20] sacarlson: I was just thinking that. alright.

[07:23] lol [07:23] wait let me show you was ps -A shows :P [07:23] sacarlson: http://pastie.org/private/lylkncziqqwl7cjbnig6tw [07:23] the_wench2: please use pastebin if you do [07:24] :-/ [07:24] this is a pastebin only bud [07:24] as far as i can tell, nothing is using the HDD, but the scanning tools say otherwise and won't work. [07:24] Jordan_U: I think I've figured it out. I'm going to fix it and reboot. After looking at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mdadm I noticed it's just using the config, which for whatever reason won't let it auto detect them. [07:25] So, if I change my mdadm.conf to be setup properly for my system, it'll probably just work. [07:25] Jordan_U: ^^ [07:25] the_wench2: so what should I be looking for? [07:25] the_wench2: I don't see any wget that was in your last cron [07:26] well [07:26] if a cron is running [07:26] the_wench2: so the answer is none [07:26] what should I search for in this list? :P [07:26] wget ? [07:26] Jordan_U: I would bet that is what the install does, and since I did it after the fact, the update-initramfs wouldn't work unless I have it setup correctly. Is that right? [07:26] the_wench2: yes but your cron was programed to run only every 10 min [07:26] The mdadm hook file is for initramfs setup, i.e. not a booting hook, right? [07:26] tanath, isn't there any way to do it using the cmd line...just curious [07:26] I changed that to 1 min for beta testing, as its really frustrating to add on data from backend and then wait for 10 mins for the cron to run heh [07:27] TrentonAdams: Sounds reasonable, though I haven't done much with raid myself. [07:27] the_wench2: I don't know you wrote the cron not me. what's in the crontab that you think should be running [07:27] rajatkhanduja, of course. most prefer GUI though. you could configure things manually, but that way is faster [07:28] Q: how do i dual boot? Ive already installed Xp on one drive and ubuntu on the other [07:28] sacarlson: ok, so basically if a cron is running, I would see wget in ps -A , right ? [07:28] Lizzard88, you'll have to install grub on the drive being booted to be able to choose your OS on boot [07:28] grub? [07:29] Lizzard88, grub is a bootloader. you can google some guides [07:29] the_wench2: I'm asuming you are working on the same crontab you showed me before that you ran wget yes then you would see wget as one or more proccess in ps -A, try a big file to verify I'm correct [07:29] !grub | Lizzard88 [07:29] Lizzard88: 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. [07:30] sacarlson: yeah ,its the same, thanks! [07:30] tanath, can u pls guide me as to what all I might need to tinker with....which all files .. like /etc/fstab [07:30] the_wench2: and no if cron is running you won't see wget. only the time that wget is running will you see it [07:30] This question is only tangentially related to Unbuntu, but: is there a way to have vim wrap words in a way that doesn't cut words off in the middle? Like, if a word gets wrapped, then move the entire word to the next line. I don't want vim to actually insert newlines into the file; I just want it to display the text using an intelligent word-wrap. [07:30] I c [07:30] rajatkhanduja, don't really have time, sorry. brush up on your google-fu :P [07:31] rajatkhanduja, good luck [07:31] tanath, thank for the help...well I've tried a lot on google..couldn't get much help [07:31] Wingless: try gedit that's my fav editor [07:31] Jordan_U: yay, it worked. [07:31] Wingless: :set wrap :set linebreak :set nolist [07:31] Wingless: it can wrap [07:32] Hi everyone. [07:32] TrentonAdams: Congratulations. [07:32] I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux. [07:32] Nano and leafpad here, gedit is so slow [07:32] hello...I need help on a OCR-related topic: I need to "read" hundreds of scanned business-cards...can anyone point me to a good programm to do the trick? [07:33] #phubuntu [07:33] ActionParsnip: gedit slow? to start? I'm slow too so we match [07:33] but, how do you make your screen like this? I tried to set the hot key but the Fn+ combination is not read at all... [07:33] I have a question about about Ubuntu, if anyone is available to help. [07:33] Im reading the guide about grub2, but i don't see how to make it run before my default operation system starts up [07:33] Jordan_U: I'm going to udpate the update-initramfs script to add an option for auto generating mdadm.conf from your currently running arrays. [07:34] Jordan_U: Probably stick another config option in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm [07:34] I'd like to have my volume buttons(Fn+F10/F11) work on my netbook in gnome. [07:34] sacarlson: leafpad is much lighter, gedit has a lot of plugins for highlighting which I don't find necessary for conf file edits [07:34] rypervenche : I'll try [07:34] Flannel: That doesn't seem to fix the problem...why would I have to set nolist? [07:34] Lizzard88: grub2 will start first and will chain boot your other operating system. your other operating system can still be default [07:34] minh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR [07:35] Flannel: In fact, none of those sets seem to do anything for me >_< [07:35] Wingless: Nolist isn't important, but the first two should solve your issue [07:35] hmmmmm [07:35] Flannel: Do I have to do something special before the changes kick in? [07:35] atude: set the combination in system -> admin -> keyboard [07:35] sacarlson: how can i choose which operating system to run? [07:35] ActionParsnip: I guess that's part of what I love about gedit it makes everything readable like bash you can see in color what the comments are soooo cool [07:35] i dont get that option when booting up [07:35] rajatkhanduja: Thank you^^ Well, I installed Ubuntu on my computer, I got it to work fine. Unfortunately I do not have an Internet connection in my room, so I brought my PC downstairs and am using a different monitor and keyboard. When I start up Ubuntu, it stays on a black screen that says things about my USB ports. [07:35] ActionParsnip: thank you so much...this is a good point to start... [07:36] I've done :set wrap and :set linebreak, but words are still getting broken in the middle at the right edge of the screen [07:36] Wingless: wrap makes it wrap on display instead of in the file, linebreak makes it break at lines. nolist is important because wrap won't work if list is set. [07:36] ActionParsnip: mind you, the key combination with Fn does not read [07:36] sacarlson: if you like it, sure. I find teext just as readbale without so I embrace speed :) [07:36] rypervenche: can u quote what it says? [07:36] ActionParsnip: however, other keys works without fn [07:36] I see [07:36] rajatkhanduja: Yes, let me find the picture. [07:37] atude: have you searched for you laptop make model to find linux guides [07:37] Lizzard88: from ubuntu I guess I would use the gui start-manager to set what I wanted as the default boot [07:37] Jordan_U: Thanks for all the tips by the way. They helped lead me to a solution. My solution was only about 30% of what I needed. You helped with the other 70% [07:38] why can't I untar the kernel source file that I have in /usr/src? [07:38] seidos: you can: sudo tar zxvf file [07:39] ActionParsnip, thanks [07:39] Flannel: I understand what :set list does now, and I think I understand what :set wrap does, but I'm not sure what :set linebreak does, and in any case setting both wrap and linebreak doesn't seem to do anything for me here...what could I possibly be doing wrong, or missing? [07:39] Hello, I am having an issue with installing wine, and the guys in the wine help channel sent me over your way because I apparently have a broken package. http://www.fpaste.org/mzGw/ is the problem I am having. Anybody mind taking a look? (I am a newbie to ubuntu) [07:39] seidos: as a user you don't have write access to the folder so you need sudo [07:39] rajatkhanduja: Give me one more minute, I am uploading it to Photobucket. [07:39] ActionParsnip: well us old farts need all the help we can get. and to each his own. I still us vi when i'm in terminal with no graphic but that's all I ever learned [07:39] Wingless: linebreak makes it break in between words, as opposed to "at the edge of the screen" [07:39] ActionParsnip, -zxvf didn't work, but -xvvf did [07:40] not sure if it will extract though. [07:40] seidos: cool, gold achieved [07:40] * seidos crosses his fingers [07:40] Wingless: I can't think of anything else, #vim might be more help [07:40] sacarlson: its all good. Old or young is the same online [07:40] it's still extracting. but sudo should do it [07:40] I'll go ask them there [07:40] Thanks for your help, Flannel [07:40] rajatkhanduja: http://3.ly/GtkB [07:40] yes! thanks ActionParsnip [07:41] seidos: if you are going to be working a lot there then run: sudo -i ,you will not need sudo then [07:41] ah it doesn't matter, virtualbox is looking for src files in /usr/src/linux or something [07:42] rypervenche: does the booting stop here? or it goes on smoothly?

[07:54] blognewb: it's encrypted you can use keys as an option [07:55] sacarlson: what i meant was a graphical ui version of ssh [07:55] i have problems making linux bootable on a usb drive [07:55] instead of doing command line [07:56] blognewb: well ssh is a shell but you can us it like sftp to move files as well is that what you want to move files? [07:56] blognewb: not sure what you mean, there's a ssh tunnel manager called gSTM [07:56] blognewb: if so then places>connect to server>ssh [07:57] Anyone know if there is a widget/desklet for Gnome that can sync to google calendar? [07:57] blognewb: you will need to be more clear what you are trying to do [07:58] hi everybody, i have an ipod touch and i have tried banshee and rhythmbox to try to move music on the device but it doesn't seem to list the device in any of those apps but the device icon is shown on the desktop and i'm able to browse it, any thoughts? [07:58] Looks like evolution can do it. [07:58] paranoidphreak: to migrate your music to an ipod, you can just use nautilus or a shell. [07:59] paranoidphreak: it mounts as a regular usb storage device. [07:59] shirtless: http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=28cb4a5d7afbd49a&hl=en [07:59] shirtless: yes, it mounts as a usb drive [07:59] paranoidphreak: gtkpod [07:59] rajatkhanduja: Yeah, that was stupid. I couldn't choose which OS to boot to without the use of my keyboard. But I don't think that would be the problem. Do you know how I may be able to fix this? [08:00] ActionParsnip: cool [08:00] ActionParsnip: i tried that but on the internet it says it doesn't support touch [08:00] paranoidphreak: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/sync-iphone-and-ipod-touch-in-ubuntu.html [08:00] is anyone here any good at setting up postfix? i want to set up about half a dozen hardcoded, non-unix accounts, and i want e-mail sent to these accounts to be both kept on the server, and forwarded to a different e-mail address that depends on the account. [08:00] ActionParsnip: thanks for the link [08:00] Hey I have a brand new Hp elitebook with no os server but no disk drive. how do you boot from a usb from a mac? [08:01] paranoidphreak: or jailbreak it, install rockbox and be free [08:01] or if anyone can help me achieve this with some other package apart from postfix, that would also be welcome. [08:02] rypervenche: so when u plugged it back in .. there was the same problem? [08:02] rajatkhanduja: Yes. [08:02] kenrick: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-create-an-ubuntu-installation-usb-on-the-mac/ [08:02] ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll try jailbreak, i just updated my touch and i lost all the music and video files [08:02] ActionParsnip: Thanx [08:02] paranoidphreak: if you'd got a player from a more openminded company you'd be fine [08:03] Should I get the LTS or is it not advisable? 10.04 (OS for web server) [08:03] kenrick: simple websearch dude [08:03] rypervenche: this seems tough! [08:03] Is it unstable, is it hard to upgrade from? [08:03] blognewb: for servers lts is good as you will be able to upgrade lts to lts [08:04] ActionParsnip: lol, i'm starting to hate apple, i had bought an mp3 player and just drag and dropped the files without any problems [08:04] blognewb: its also supported longer than the intermediate releases [08:04] paranoidphreak: It's really only good for the applications :/ [08:04] paranoidphreak: yeah but people see te "cool" factor and shiny rather than what it does and doesn't do. Make me sad [08:04] ActionParsnip: what if the next version is NOT lts? :( im confused sorry [08:04] TrentonAdams: You' [08:05] blognewb: maverick is 10.10 and is not lts [08:05] TrentonAdams: ... You're welcome :) [08:05] blognewb: the previos lts was hardy released april 2008 === _DJmart is now known as DJmart [08:05] ActionParsnip: I think it kind of WILL do the trick (OCR)...just have to write some scripts around it...thank you sooo much, once again! [08:05] minh: no worries dude [08:05] rypervenche, ActionParsnip: apple === evil [08:06] ActionParsnip: oh i was referring to this.. http://library.linode.com/troubleshooting/upgrade-ubuntu-10.04 so that's not the latest? [08:06] rypervenche: computer info!! configuration and company [08:06] minh: could try: apt-cache search ocr | less ,there may be an app available etc [08:06] Lucid [08:06] Maverick now ok [08:06] where in the boot configuration files should i put my 915resolution lines so that they get run before any modesetting is done? [08:07] blognewb: maverick is still in alpha and is discussed and supported in #ubuntu+1 ,not here [08:07] andyn: I thought that 915resolution was no longer needed. [08:07] rajatkhanduja: Windows Vista on an HP slimline, uhhh 300GB HD with about 120GB left on it. Um what else do you need? [08:07] Jordan_U: you're one of those optimists, aren't you? [08:07] ActionParsnip: ", Ubuntu only officially supports upgrades between LTS releases." --> would u reckon i install lucid instead then, as a beginner? [08:07] andyn: /etc/default/grub sounds resonable [08:07] rypervenche: graphic card! [08:07] blognewb: yes as its quite mature now and lts [08:08] thansk!!!!! [08:08] andyn: in /etc/default/grub you edit the line that says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [08:08] rajatkhanduja: ATI Radeon HD 4350 [08:08] ActionParsnip, MaRk-I: no, i don't want and i cannot use KMS. [08:09] andyn: don't want what? [08:09] andyn: Why? [08:09] rajatkhanduja: Like I said I got Ubuntu to start just fine when I was upstairs. Very fast and no problems whatsoever. [08:09] andyn: you asked WHERE I dont care if you want it or not... that's WHERE you disable it [08:10] ActionParsnip, Jordan_U: xorg intel drivers are unusable on i8xx graphics cards forcing me to use vesa, which explicitly rules out KMS. [08:10] andyn: you must run: sudo update-grub ,to apply the setting [08:10] MaRk-I: kms is blacklisted on i8xx cards anyway so you don't have to edit that file... [08:11] andyn: fine eh... ignore my comment then [08:11] when log in my terminal , i keep getting this message every few seconds. is there any problem with my laptop? http://pastebin.com/DK9yc54b [08:11] andyn: I think this page has some code you can use: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes [08:12] ActionParsnip: are you referring to the i8xx/i9xx "black screen on boot" bug? [08:12] Jordan_U: You still there? === amidelalune is now known as _mo [08:12] andyn: I read something on intel 8xx cards earlier but this browser hates most of the ubuntu pages [08:12] TrentonAdams: Yes. [08:12] Jordan_U: http://blog.adamsbros.org/2010/08/14/ubuntu-wont-boot-raided-root/ [08:12] andyn: it may relate to that. I make my system use framebuffer til it hits desktop [08:13] Jordan_U: Anything that consumes a significant amount of time is worth blogging about. hehe [08:13] andyn: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [08:14] andyn: I use it on my crappy intel based lappy too [08:15] ActionParsnip: anyway, my problem is that since i'm forced to use vesa, KMS is out of the question and i need to revert to 915resolution to patch my video bios before any video mode changes are done. i was asking where i should put those 915resolution commands so that my bios gets patched early enough. that blog posts also points out the same problem so it's not really a triage, i suppose [08:16] rajatkhanduja: Could it be my monter resolution changed? [08:16] rajatkhanduja: monitor* [08:16] rypervenche : lets try this ... type in terminal "sudo gedit /etc/default/bootlogd [08:17] and change the BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No to BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes [08:17] rypervenche: and change the BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No to BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes [08:17] anyone got a ubuntu dual boot howto url? [08:17] rypervenche: then try rebooting...and see if /var/log/boot shows something [08:18] rajatkhanduja: When I said I was new to this, I meant really new. How do I get to terminal if I can't get into Ubuntu? [08:19] <_genuser_> hey guys. [08:19] rypervenche: i thought u said Ubuntu's running well with the other monitor and keyboard! [08:19] does anyone know what this error referring to? or which hardware this error come from: http://pastebin.com/DK9yc54b [08:19] <_genuser_> trying to install sun-java6-jre, it's not found. using netbuntu. [08:20] rajatkhanduja: Oh, ok. I'll have to go upstairs. [08:20] try taking the monitor upstairs as well and the keyborad [08:21] TrentonAdams: If you are actually changing the filesystem containing /boot you should run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", this will do three things. 1: Update the debconf settings for the grub-pc package so that grub is installed to the correct device(s) when there is an upgrade to the grub-pc package, for instance you probably want to install to both members of your new raid 2: Runs grub-install on the devices you selected 3: [08:21] rajatkhanduja: Ok so after that I should come back downstairs and try again? [08:23] salut [08:24] Jordan_U: Thanks, I forgot about that one. You mentioned that before. [08:24] TrentonAdams: You're welcome. [08:26] I want to uninstall vim-tiny and install a full version of vim on Ubuntu 8.10, but when I use Synaptic to try and remove vim-tiny and vim-common (the only two packages with vim in their name that are currently installed), it also requires me to uninstall ubuntu-minimal. Is that safe? [08:28] Kurusu: just apt-get install vim-full, and it will ask you if you want to fix that issue when you install it. [08:29] or vim-gnome. [08:29] shirtless: Okay, I'll give that a shot [08:29] how make bomb ? [08:29] i am Lithuania terroris [08:30] You kind of suck at terrorism. Maybe you should try learning PHP instead.

[10:05] Guest98456: sounds like a problem with grub, the boot manager, I think you need a live-cd to boot and then re-install grub. can someone else confirm this? I guess I could look it up [10:05] and fspot is starting to crash again [10:05] Glowball: Before repartitioning the HD on that computer, try defragmenting it with the option to consolidate free space. The .jrnl externsion seems to me that it is some sort of journal implemented by Win7 [10:05] uhh that one program i cant rember the name to install from windows [10:06] Kruptein: why not just use crontab? check its man page [10:06] wubi or something [10:06] and yeah, reinstall will fix grub issue because grub will reognise dicks fresh [10:06] cmpsalvestrini: I did, with MyDefrag. It says it's unmovable. Also, the extension isn't .jrnl, it's just something in the name, I don't remember the extention. Plus, it's a Windows XP cd [10:06] trust me, i've seen that same error hundreds of times [10:06] what i get for typing commands into a computer with no monitor [10:06] ilovefairuz: yes I know crontab, but in a previous ubuntu install I had also gnome-schedule and it worked fine in that case, so I thought I just could re-use it [10:07] so should i get the cd install on a disk from this computer and reinstall ubuntu? [10:07] at least reinstall grub, i think that's at the beginning right? [10:07] Matthes: use gparted from ubuntu live cd to resize the partition and make a new one in the unallocated space [10:07] Not reinstalling Ubuntu from the cd, since Wubi installs it inside Windows. [10:08] ok, thanks [10:08] it says grub saver or whatever and idk alot about ubuntu so im kinda confused [10:08] Guest98456: basically, you now have ubuntu installed in a file on your windows partition, so if you reinstall now you probably need to resize that partition [10:08] Only try to reinstall grub. If it doesn't work out, put in your Windows recovery disk and run fixmbr, then you'll be able to boot Windows again [10:08] Glowball: In any case to be on the safe side I'd go around that by installing Ubuntu on an usb stick, until you manage to understand what that file is. Also, I'd ask for permission to your parents before messing with their pc... [10:08] what Glowball said sounds like truth [10:09] What does the "vv" (two v's) do in "tar cvvzf ../test.tar.gz *"?? [10:09] i dont think i have a windows recov disk...but how would i go about reinsalling grub [10:09] Guest98456: first of all, did you install using wubi (the windows installer) or a normal install ? [10:09] cmpsalvestrini: I've got permission ;) The Windows install fucked up not long after I got my own laptop and didn't take care of it anymore. [10:09] i used wubi [10:09] hey ppl [10:09] how is going [10:09] Guest98456: do you see grub:sh> or grub:rescue> ? [10:10] rescue [10:10] !hi | rshakin [10:10] rshakin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[10:17] Hey I've got my mouse speed topped out in Lucid and it's still slow. Anyone have links for a fix?

[10:17] Kwpolska just fine in XP === andyeb--away is now known as andyeb-- [10:18] RoutineT: get ubuntu 10.04? or maybe if it's a server get some more serverish distro? [10:18] etherealite: what's your mouse? [10:18] Kwpolska: that's what I'm looking. I'm building a new server, and I'd very much like PHP 5.3 or better on it [10:18] {g}: use apt-get -s install to see what packages are going to be installed without actually installing them [10:18] i typed ls in the grub rescue [10:18] and it said hd0 [10:18] {g}: a "dry run" [10:19] Guest98456: only that? [10:19] say Kwpolska Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) [10:19] yes [10:19] Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) [10:19] <{g}> ilovefairuz: why should I do that? [10:19] RoutineT: Ubuntu 10.04 has PHP 5.3.2 [10:19] Kwpolska: are you implying that 10.04 is not good for a server platform? [10:19] waht does that mean S: [10:20] RoutineT: it is not [10:20] rww: thanks...normal apt route for install? [10:20] ANY ubuntu is not good for server [10:20] {g}: to check if that packages will get Xorg/gdm or not [10:20] Kwpolska: why not? what would be a good distro? [10:20] for servers, you've got debian, centos, BSDs, gentoo, but not ubuntu. [10:20] RoutineT: Kwpolska is passing off his opinion as fact. I personally use and know a bunch of people that use Ubuntu Server. [10:20] RoutineT: yup. 'php5' package [10:20] ubuntu is made for desktop, ubuntu server is evil. [10:21] Kwpolska: I also have been using ubuntu server, and it has worked great. Any particular reasons for your position? [10:21] Guest98456: how many partitions do you have?

[10:36] i cant find anything for it :S [10:36] ilovefairuz: Well, I once downloaded a recovery disk for Windows XP.. I assume they also have disks for Vista or 7 to download [10:36] Glowball: from microsoft's website? [10:36] Yes [10:37] Guest98456: what Windows version have you got? [10:37] windows 7 [10:38] (I'm looking for it..) [10:38] ok thank you [10:40] Thomas_Bates, on our 7 yr old desktop the usb ports are unpredictable. one day one port works and the next day not. this happens irregardless of OS (XP/lucid/gNewSense) [10:40] Guest98456: if you don't mind, please also burn ubuntu live cd to further investigate this issue because I've seen this reported here more than once [10:40] Guest98456: Ugh, nope, can't find it. [10:41] Guest98456: what do you mean by "recovery disk"? [10:41] My desktop is only about 3 years old [10:41] and I've never had any issue with them. [10:41] and why are you asking for a recovery disk for windows? [10:41] Kwpolska: It's like a disk with Windows 7 on it, but you can only use it to fix errors, not to completely install Windows [10:41] Kwpolska: the original installation cd, we are trying to find an alternative [10:42] Kwpolska: scroll up and read [10:42] Glowball: possible to do from the WAIK [10:42] ill burn the live cd [10:42] I'm 100% sure it existed for Windows XP, but I haven't got any experience with later versions [10:42] there is such a possibility for windows vista or 7 [10:42] i just hope i can find a cd thats big enough :S [10:43] but you need a machine and DVD of one of them [10:43] Where does Ubuntu keep its drivers? [10:43] Thomas_Bates: what do you mean, "drivers"? [10:43] Thomas_Bates: kernel, /lib, etc. [10:43] Thomas_Bates: /lib/modules may contain most of them [10:43] alright [10:44] Thanks [10:44] I suppose there is no way for me to specifically tell if it pertains to USB or not? [10:44] Judging by these file names [10:44] Thomas_Bates: you can try lsmod | grep *usb* [10:45] Thomas_Bates: depends on what kind of driver, it could be a linux kernel module or an Xorg module [10:45] k i found a cd and a usb drive if the disk is scratched or something :S gonna go download and burn it [10:45] or "lsmod | grep *hci" [10:45] Thomas_Bates: what are you trying to the find the driver of ?

[10:55] what is your problem, please? [10:55] Kwpolska: I don't want the entire OS to be in jp. Just an IME. I speak too many languages for just one OS janguage install. [10:55] Israfel, ibus [10:56] I doubt this is neccessary, but this is what I have: http://www.xonixe.com/products/USBWatch/spec.php (XU-L) Ordered from ThinkGeek [10:56] hi .. I am importing mysql .. its taking too much time .. How do I use nice for the mysql-imported to be done faster ? [10:56] Kwpolska: Well, after installing Ubuntu, I went downstairs with my PC and used a different monitor and keyboard and then it didn't load Ubuntu when I tried downstairs. [10:56] Israfel: check out things used for ime and you can install english one [10:56] Kwpolska, telling people to google is not an acceptable answer [10:56] bazhang: i know, i know [10:56] Kwpolska, then don't do it [10:56] rypervenche: your monitor might not be correct [10:56] bazhang: then do not remind me. [10:57] Kwpolska: and I came back upstairs and it didn't work. I just kept getting that black screen with white lettering with different things on it, all saying "resume from disk failed" [10:57] Kwpolska: Well the one I use is a widescreen and the one downstairs is not. [10:57] resume from disk? did you hibernated it or done something evil? [10:57] rypervenche: that shall not be a problem [10:57] did it worked with windows on that pc? [10:57] Kwpolska: I'm on the windows on it now.

[10:58] rypervenche: maybe the system did it for you? [10:59] hello, I installed ubuntu on my new laptop, with the kernel that came with the installer (2.6.32-21) everything works fine, but with 2.6.32-24 xserver fails to load the intel drivers complaining about a drm error, anybody knows how to solve this? [10:59] hmm [10:59] odd [10:59] bazhang: Thanks. I think I found it. Kwpolska must think I need a jp install with an English IME. [10:59] http://pastebin.com/6ux3WC0h [11:00] Israfel, that is not correct. Japanese/Mandarin / Korean works fine here with English install. ibus and language packs is it [11:00] it looks to me like it is disconnecting repeatedly [11:00] or something like that [11:01] Israfel, assuming you mean lucid, as scim was for earlier releases [11:01] Thomas_Bates: looks trimmed to me, more messages? [11:01] after the C/P [11:01] Update [11:01] Kwpolska: So basically changing hardware shouldn't affect my Ubuntu and it must have been another problem?

I have tried that. oCean, how do I update $PATH? [11:19] not while you're programming [11:19] Friar: please create a file ~/.bashrc [11:20] but whatever, then just add it to the path. [11:20] Friar: and the file has to have executable permissions [11:20] Kwpolska, I have one...it is just the default. [11:20] ilovefairuz: only if it exists in $PATH already [11:20] and put inside: export PATH='/home/nathan/bin:$PATH' [11:20] Friar: so put the line somewhere [11:20] Friar: run « source ~/.profile » [11:20] Friar: you can try source ~/.bashrc as well [11:21] i've got two users with exactly the same .bashrc and .profile files. but one has terminal colors and the other doesn't. none of these files have references to the usernames. can someone help me figure this out?

[11:24] I'm sorry I don't want to just run things that I don't know what they do.... [11:25] janicko: you got an ip address right there, and a routing table, which enables you to go online.

The pastebins you did, show you exact information: your ip-address and your routing.

[14:01] DestinyAwaits, then I am out of ideas for this [14:01] lsottani: boot usb pendrive and pastebin: sudo fdisk -l [14:01] DestinyAwaits, you can try the ##linux channel ...they may have alternative solutions [14:01] coz_: Ah, ok [14:02] ok gimme a sec === PsyTrance_ is now known as PsyTrance === damn3d is now known as Damn3d [14:05] hello [14:05] Just a general question, until us non-mentored students get our act together, what's the best way to help with bugs, without causing additional work for somebody else? [14:05] hey iceman_3233 [14:06] Opps, wrong channel SRI :-) [14:06] KEISHA, just fill in bugreports, that is a big help [14:07] http://pastebin.com/vv0s70yA ilovefairuz [14:08] lsottani: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [14:08] space after sda1 ilovefairuz ? [14:09] lsottani: yes [14:09] done... no output on the terminal. now? [14:09] lsottani: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda [14:10] with sudo i suppose [14:10] lsottani: yes [14:11] ok, it saysinsallation finished. no error reported [14:11] reboot [14:11] and pray i personally add :) [14:12] does anyone know where the /dev/rfcomm is on Lucid? it seems to be missing or probably renamed [14:12] nothing.... [14:12] lsottani: nothing at all? [14:13] impossible! [14:13] no, nothing as before, stop after bios splash [14:13] i removed the usb. [14:13] did i have to leave it on? [14:13] no [14:13] ok then nothing [14:14] i try with another os to see if it is hdd failure or wha [14:14] good idea [14:14] try fedora [14:15] i have jolicloud which goes 100% on my pc atm [14:15] and ready on usb [14:15] it's just very strange that grub doesn't even load [14:16] i guess.. [14:16] perhaps a compatibility issue of grub 2 with something on your machine [14:16] strange is that i installed 10.04 once, and it worked, apart the wireless [14:17] hi. i cant play any youtube videos in totem 2.30.2 it gives me this: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. [14:17] anyone have any idea? [14:17] thanks [14:17] once again: what's "Broken pipe (32)" about? I'm doing a local backup with Back In Time. Tried it several times... no idea what goes wrong. [14:17] lsottani: boot live usb again, we could try grub 1.x [14:18] lsottani, how was jolicloud by the way?? [14:18] i am trying to install joli atm, alongside ubuntu [14:18] i am on lucid with totem 2.30.2 [14:18] coz_ great until 0.99 [14:18] 1.0 sucks [14:18] looks retarded [14:18] lsottani: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:18] lsottani, ooo ok It sounded interesting last time I looked [14:19] project is interesting. but is not very good for mid-experience users [14:19] splashote: broken pipe means that a process died unexpectedly, the application probably pipes files to an external process (like tar or gzip) to compress them and it dies, check its logs (if it has any) [14:19] lsottani, have you tried the netbook for gnome or kde's netbook version which is very nice?? [14:19] newbies: great, you do not have to do nothing. experts: isuppose that they can tweak something... mid users are stuck [14:19] no coz_ [14:19] hey. u guys know the cpu scaling monitor you can add to the panel? is there any way to just set my 3 processors to maximum and leave it that way permanantly as each time i restart i have to reset those settings [14:20] lsottani, kde"s netbook version is visually nice and works much better in my opinion than gnome's [14:20] lsottani, google screenshots and maybe youtube video [14:20] ilovefairuz: ok, i'll check the logs. the backup is compressed with tar.. [14:20] yeah tar tends to die so dramatically [14:22] ilovefairuz: i halted joli install.. i have not much time left. can we tri grub 1.x? [14:22] *try [14:22] lsottani: sure, boot live usb [14:22] on the way [14:22] lsottani: unless you wiped ubuntu .. [14:22] it shouldn't [14:22] any way i can check? :/ [14:22] tweak, if you're looking for cpu speed ctrl then you might try an app called cpufrequtils. [14:23] lsottani: it will show up after you boot usb [14:23] i have booted now [14:23] lsottani: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [14:23] ilovefairuz: a new error message in the logs: 15:22:17 fabians-laptop backintime (root): INFO: The application needs to change the backup format.

It's not listed in the screensaver preferences panel [14:29] any idea? [14:30] ilovefairuz: ok - I 'll be back shortly :) [14:30] BoD[home], I would have to go through this tutorial to test it... I have not attempted it before.... of course that would take time... I cant do this at the moment ...I am going for a break right now [14:31] BoD[home], but i will bookmark these links and test later [14:31] thanks a lot [14:31] XDD [14:32] ilovefairuz: i am stuck at 5.

"sudo apt-get update" first maybe? [14:44] lol [14:44] yashi_: you can run it through a wrapper, check the page [14:44] how to reinstall grub? what write in terminal? [14:44] how much ram does ubuntu 10.04 need (minimum)? [14:44] ZykoticK9: i saw it but this is unrelated to the current error [14:45] pawush, do you know if you are using grub or grub2? [14:45] grub2 [14:45] ilovefairuz: the point is they took the plugin offline for a reason [14:45] !requirements > Apocalypto [14:45] Apocalypto, please see my private message [14:45] !grub2 | pawush [14:45] pawush: 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 [14:45] lsottani: strangely this is the same error we saw while trying to install broadcom driver on the command line, somehow your package database gets screwed up [14:46] so what i have to do now? [14:46] ilovefairuz: im searching an flash-nonfree alternative (i dont play games only flash videos) [14:46] * ilovefairuz scratches his head [14:46] yashi_: you will barely find anything usable [14:46] anyway a brand new install should solve the problem, theoretically [14:47] yashi_, "flash-nonfree" is an alternative to flash64bit really -- it's the 32bit flash (which will work on 64bit system BTW) [14:47] lsottani: try something that uses grub 1, perhaps jolicloud does, and fedora does use it [14:47] ok i try the joli install :( [14:48] lsottani, why not try installing without being root, and using a regular account with sudo - to verify that's not causing the issue? Just a suggestion... [14:48] i am a noob i do what you tell me :D [14:49] Used anyone 3G modems in Ubuntu 10.4? I'll want manual change Node'B , how to do ? I've Huawei 156g === xfact is now known as Guest14514 [14:49] ZykoticK9: we are chrooting from a live usb with a bound /dev tree and sudo/su is completely unrelated, this happened with sudo too [14:49] ZykoticK , yashi_ , adobe 64 bit flash is on the back burner no longer officially supported until they finish development on it [14:49] ilovefairuz, did you mount proc as well? [14:50] BluesKaj, the 64bit removal is due to a security issue more then anything i believe [14:50] ZykoticK9: ah no, but it still happened on a normal install [14:50] ZykoticK9, IC, ok that's pretty important :) [14:51] i don't think mounting proc is necessary but i could be wrong [14:51] Anyone used 3G modem in Ubuntu ? [14:51] How do I import a .vcs calendar attachment into evolution? Both "import to Calendar" and File->import fail.

This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting [14:54] ZykoticK9: thanks [14:54] i encountered this when choosing the partition size for jolicloud [14:54] can i proceed?

Do you want a LiveCD-type environment or a full install to USB - both are possible. [14:56] pawush: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [14:56] i try to ignore to see if i can proceed [14:56] pawush: if you have a windows system flapping around, you can use that [14:56] ilovefairuz: any progress? [14:57] Rogue1: what existing operating system do you have? [14:57] hmmm ilovefairuz the installer found some incorrect issues on the filesystem of sda... [14:58] lsottani: what was the error message? [14:58] ilovefairuz: it is (was?) VortexBox, based on FC11.

[15:30] opij: what is free ram good for? free ram == wasted ram [15:30] ActionParsnip, it is a usb device (even though it is internal). Should I still use dmesg? [15:30] nits_: you should have user shred or wipe to delete the file [15:31] erUSUL, i use it for watching high res video [15:31] ilovefairuz: never managed to -- the Live system worked ok for some time, then froze. Power-cycled the machine, tried booting - and after the BIOS, all I get is the blinking cursor on the screen.

[15:33] nits_, try in ##windows [15:33] ilovefairuz: nope - if I'm lucky I'll get to the screen with choices for installing Ubuntu, trying it, etc. - but always results in the blinking underscore for anything further [15:33] [Ubuntu 10.04.1] What is the path+filename of the ~/Music directory symbol?

It has the Title bar, menu bar, address bar, bookmark bar, and tab bar, that is excessive, where as Chromium uses less space, and has about the same. [15:35] shane2peru: use tinymenu and liquifox theme [15:35] shane2peru: you can then rearrange the toolbars to get a very thin toolbar [15:35] ilovefairuz: oddly enough my WinXP CD booted ok, but suddenly found a corrupt file - despite never having had that problem before *shrug* [15:35] ActionParsnip, tinemenu? is that in the repos, or an option in firefox? [15:35] shane2peru, remove bookmarks bar [15:36] ActionParsnip, and I assume that liquifox is an theme add on. [15:36] shane2peru, remove all the icons and add them to the top bar as well [15:36] shane2peru: http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/?action=view¤t=thin.jpg looks like that :) [15:36] ActionParsnip: I neither have an nvidia graphics card, not have managed to install Ubuntu - I can't even get the Live CD to run or install [15:37] Rogue1: it still can help and its free to try [15:37] Rogue1: do a memtest [15:37] shane2peru: tinymenu is an addon and puts all that file, edit, view crap in one button. Liquifox is a theme [15:37] ActionParsnip, yep!!! that is what I want!@ [15:37] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks a bundle!!! [15:37] ilovefairuz: memtest froze. [15:38] shane2peru: you then have 1 bar with everthing on and is thin [15:38] where is the stored log files of this irc chat? [15:38] Rogue1: from what cd? XP's? [15:38] nits_: what client? [15:38] ActionParsnip: i am using irssi from the terminal [15:39] ActionParsnip: there is an online log of the whole irc chat right? jus wanted to know it's address [15:39] ilovefairuz: nope, memtest on the Ubuntu CD failed. second ISO I've burned to CD, and all seems fine - just can 't escape this darn blinking underscore. Will try ActionParsnip's sol'n [15:39] !1984 | nits_ [15:39] nits_: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [15:39] nits_: possibly ~/.config/irssi/ some place [15:40] ubottu : thanks bro!

[15:40] nits_: or try ~/irclogs too [15:40] ActionParsnip: where can i find this tinymenu? i just searched on the firefox addon site, but no results. [15:40] figure002: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1455/ [15:41] figure002: use normal websearch engines, works nicer [15:41] guys I'm still trying to recover my Windows installation... [15:41] xissburg: just reinstall and restore data from your backups [15:41] I tried with the WinXP CD but in recovery mode it asks for asmin password, which I cant remember in any way [15:41] ActionParsnip: got it, thanks [15:41] backups? haha [15:42] xissburg: ? [15:42] ActionParsnip, seems that liquifox isn't available for FF 3.6.X [15:42] shane2peru: i see [15:42] shane2peru: you may be able to compile it. I dont use firefox anymore [15:43] tge thing is...I installed ubuntu using Wubi from Win7. It trashed my boot loader, but it worked fine a few times...in the 3rd boot it didnt work anymore without any reason [15:43] now the only thing I get is grub rescue [15:43] ActionParsnip, well I had been using Chromium, but minor things here and there that always worked in FF, drove me back, however now I see how much space that stuff is eating up there. [15:43] Q: I have a RAID5 on /dev/sd[bcdef]1, but Ubuntu 10.04 fails to auto-start/assemble it during boot. I suspect it's because I've got superblocks both on /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1, which confuses mdadm et.al. Is it safe to zero the superblock on /dev/sdb? Will that leave everything else on the disk intact, for example the superblock on /dev/sdb1 and the data on that partition? Thanks [15:44] now I'm reslly lost...already tried a couple things but nothing works [15:44] shane2peru: liquifox should make it thinner [15:44] *really [15:45] ActionParsnip, that is ok, I got it all moved right click on the menu, customize, start dragging and re-arranging. :) Thanks [15:45] ActionParsnip, the tinymenu helps a lot though, I mean how often do I click on that menu stuff?? not often enough! [15:46] how can i register mi nick [15:46] !register > Cogito [15:46] Cogito, please see my private message [15:46] Cogito, /join #freenode for further help [15:46] xissburg: http://www.omaregan.com/?p=583 may help, you can avoid this whole thing with a backup. Remember: your drive motor CAN fail, then where is your data??? [15:47] shane2peru: if you dont use the menu at all you can get freaky with user.js and remove stuff outright [15:47] ActionParsnip: so where would I backup? Another disk? [15:47] I don't have many [15:48] ActionParsnip, no, I use it, but no much, tinymenu is perfect. [15:48] hi there everyone [15:48] xissburg: anything, a USB device, optical media, another PC. Just another system / physical disk to hold your data as well as the usual one [15:48] its a lot of data === joerg is now known as Guest3106 [15:48] well...most of it is not really valuable [15:48] xissburg: how will you feel if its inaccessible.... [15:49] thats cool then, if its invaluable then you can possibly afford to not bother [15:49] !kernel [15:49] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [15:49] anyway [15:49] I want to get my boot loeader back [15:50] ActionParsnip, I was going to post a screen shot, but not sure where to do that. there doesn't seem to be a pastebin screenshot. :) [15:50] Hello.

I've tested the same hardware and hdmi cable on my monitor, works flawlessly. no green anywhere. [16:04] oCean_: so, for now the only solution is waiting? [16:04] heya, is there a repo mirror for vlc 1.1.2 [16:05] ? [16:05] freddymx: I don't know, you could browse the several issues to see if there are fixes/workarounds. For some reason such issues have been always around. [16:06] ilovefairuz, no luck. [16:06] Rogue1: with the memtest cd? [16:06] with the solutions that ActionParsnip suggested.

ActionParsnip , isn't there a general method to use pendrives as if they were CDs to boot? [16:20] teja: oh so you don't hear the sound at all?

[16:21] xissburg: No. [16:21] D: [16:22] teja: oh, so your user is in the pulse-access group, otherwise you could not hear it very low... [16:22] but try all of what gio_gt is telling you. I don't know what you've tried so far, so I can't guess if its a true problem or you are just not used to linux [16:22] gio_gt:so wat shud i do [16:22] xissburg: no because they use different boot loaders, thats why I keep telling you to head over to ##windows but you keep ignoring it [16:22] oledole2: in /etc/fstab [16:22] Jordan_U: oledole2: I think it's posible if he made a clone of the drive the uuid could match but what's the posibility of that? [16:23] Jordan_U: i want to use them, in once place, to do the mapping once :) [16:23] teja: I'm sorry, I gotta go now, I have to go out or I'll have my friends wait... unfortunately I don't have other suggestions, sorry [16:23] oledole2: if you run: sudo blkid you will see the UUIDs of the partitions, you can then replace /dev/sda1 or whatever with the UUID [16:23] teja: seriously check alsamixer and max out all outputs and check they show 00 [16:24] aeon-ltd:i chekd dem...since 3days i am havin d prblm [16:24] teja: well, I have a last suggestion. Be sure that the application you are using to test the audio is configured to use the pulseaudio output. [16:24] oledole2: That one time mapping is /dev/disk/by-uuid/. Device names like /dev/sda can change between boots, and there's not much you can do about it. [16:24] teja: for example, mplayer and vlc can be configured to use different audio outputs, you should set them explicitly to use the pulseaudio one. [16:25] gio_gt: ok.....so how can i do that [16:25] gio_gt: i play my MP3 in rythmic [16:25] Jordan_U: i see, oh well, thanks anyways :) [16:25] is there a way to make htop display memory usage for programs in MB? like system monitor does? [16:26] I installed easystrokes' newer version (in the repo is old) but now i want to install it and sudo apt-get remove easystrokes does not find the program, neither does package manager [16:26] teja: in application settings. If it's a gnome application (like rhythmbox) it just inherits the settings from GNOME settings. I don't use GNOME (I use KDE) so I am not very comfortable with GNOME audio settings [16:26] teja: in short: be sure that GNOME is set to use pulseaudio output and other non-GNOME applications are set to use pulseaudio output, too. [16:26] gio_gt: so shud i try with KDE? and wat bout VLC [16:26] ? [16:26] LADmaticCA: isn't that what the program top does? [16:27] teja: I gotta run now, really, I am already late. Good luck, bye [16:27] gio_gt: k cya [16:27] teja: with VLC you can find it in the settings, the audio section [16:27] teja: and choose the pulseaudio output there [16:27] gio_gt: k sure thnx [16:27] bye teja [16:27] teja: no problem, bye [16:27] When ubuntu Ibex is going to be released? [16:27] gio_gt: bbye [16:28] ibex is already released [16:28] sacarlson, im not sure. I get different outputs from top vs gnome system monitor [16:28] !8.10 [16:28] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [16:28] guys i installed a .deb with packages manager but i cant find it to uninstall [16:28] its like 08.2010 ? [16:28] LADmaticCA: with top you can sort on mem usage [16:29] sacarlson, which column is memory usage? VIRT? RES? [16:29] Hadi, and its not supported anymore because it has reached its EOL [16:29] LADmaticCA: virt is swap mem res is resident ram [16:30] why ubutu download always fail? [16:30] xissburg_, more details please [16:30] psycho_oreos , which is the next ubutnu to be released ? [16:30] hey I'm on lucid and using a theme that makes my login screen look like windows 98. Is there any way to apply a theme to JUST the login screen? Also, would gnome-look have themes for this? thanks.

Or at least I don't know about it. I'm using the new versions of Ambiance that will ship with Maverick, but they don't play nice with gdm, apparently.

I need to remove a window from tablist or have it ultimately dodge focus at all costs -> it is a movie playing. when editing code and tabbing i seem to always close it...

I was just trying to get a better understanding of (h)top [16:36] !torrents > xissburg [16:36] xissburg, please see my private message [16:37] LADmaticCA: never used it (h)top top is what I use to check status [16:38] sacarlson, alright. hey thanks for the info [16:38] bazhang: thanks [16:38] Magix: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [16:39] so, I have a line of shell scripting which runs perfectly when I run it manually in bash, runs perfectly when I run it in dash, and even if I specify a shell out to sh or bash, it still fails whenever I put it in cron! the line looks like: 1,16,31,46 * * * * bash -c "if grep open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state; then if [ $((`date +%s` % 6)) = 1 ]; then xmessage \"$(((`date --date='9 August 2074' +%s` - `date +%s`) / 60)) minutes left to live. Is what ... [16:39] ... you are doing important?\"; fi; fi" [16:39] the error looks like: /bin/sh: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution [16:40] this confuses me a little. I'm guessing crontab is quirky in someway. [16:40] gwem: that's all in the crontab? [16:41] gwern: have you tried saving the file as an executable shell script and calling that file from cron? [16:41] mneptok: that's kind of a last resort for me. I like having everything in one place [16:42] gwern: why don't you put everything you plan to run in a script that cron runs? I'm sure I don't get the picture [16:42] sacarlson: I just dislike dealing with $path issues, and dislike what ought to be unnecessary indirection [16:42] gwern: well, you're closing the double quote before the script completes, and the part outside the double quote has unescaped spaces. [16:42] gwern: use $() instead of `` [16:42] gwern: better when nesting [16:42] gwern: in my script I just add cd /home/myhome [16:43] how can I tell what HZ my kernel is running at?

[16:58] hi guys, I just got frustrated with gnome and installed xfce [16:58] so far so good, are there any drawbacks to using xfce instead? [16:59] I know this is #ubuntu, but would anyone here happen to be an ardour user? [17:00] aws: I'm using Ardour on Ubuntu. ;) [17:00] PumaMania: maybe try #grub [17:00] okay [17:00] Is there a way to tell what flags a package/binary was compiled with ? [17:00] xfce seems kinda snappier [17:01] Hello, I just installed ubuntu on my powerbook g4 to use as a media server. The wireless works fine, but when I plug in an ethernet cable, it is stil listed as disconnected. here is my /var/log: http://pastebin.com/07zR8D3J [17:01] *messages [17:01] istvan: try to edi the ethernet and then save it, but dont change anything [17:01] hi there!

If it's relevant to Ubuntu in general, post here, otherwise feel free to message me directly outside the channel. [17:03] magicianlord, ok, will do. also, does this line from messages help? ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [17:04] I had an HDD with 3 partitions: one for files only, one with WinXP32 and another with Win7 64 [17:04] so I installed ubuntu using Wubi from the Win7 64 [17:04] I am trying to check external hd's and usb drives for virsus's with KlamAV and the live cd, but I am unable to update the definitions... any idea how i can get updated definitions? [17:04] xissburg: like going to church to find whores dude total wrong place to look try google [17:04] bazhang, maybe - I hoped for a simple way using the NetworkManager [17:05] sacarlson, that is not acceptable here [17:05] It worked ok a few times. I got to boot and reboot around 3 times....then suddenly without any reason my boot loader was trashed [17:05] the only thing I get when I boot is grub rescue [17:05] xissburg: wubi = lies === hercules is now known as herc [17:05] yes === herc is now known as xxdds [17:05] "they" told me it wond't trash my boot loader === xxdds is now known as hercules [17:06] *wouldn't === hercules is now known as herc83 [17:06] so the question is: what happened?? What can I do to restore my boot loader? [17:06] xissburg: yeah, most of us don't use wubi, so we don't know what is going on. But someone a couple days ago had the same issue. Grub was installed with wubi, grub couldn't handle the wubi install, and so during an upgrade grub crapped out [17:07] mreichelt, i assume you refer to wifi connections when you say adhoc ? [17:07] which software should i use for my laptop webcam please? [17:07] GHH: install cheese [17:07] magicianlord, no luck :( [17:07] airtonix, of course [17:08] anyway..what is grub rescue?? what can I do to recover my boot loader?? [17:08] mreichelt, ok so on this screen, which option are you using in the drop down menu ? http://imagebin.org/109647 [17:08] GHH: if the cam works with Cheese then it should work with other applications [17:08] I need it back urgently [17:08] ilovefairuz: swapped the optical drive, blew a little dust away, and now at least am on the live cd without much struggling - is agonisingly slow, however - if playing around results in things looking ok, will try installing in a sec [17:08] xissburg: do you have a cd you can use to boot? [17:08] xissburg: type: ls and write here the output [17:08] ChogyDan: CD with what? [17:08] Rogue1: good [17:08] ilovefairuz: (fd0)(hd0) [17:08] airtonix, link-local only in the moment [17:09] so both laptops configure their IP in a random way, which is preferred [17:09] xissburg: did you install using wubi ? [17:09] mreichelt, have you tried the other options ? [17:09] ilovefairuz: yes yes [17:09] airtonix, I will try now :) [17:09] ilovefairuz: from Win7 [17:09] xissburg: get the windows cd and fix the mbr [17:09] but yes, I tried static IP once [17:09] xissburg: wubi is busted [17:09] I don't have a CD [17:09] ilovefairuz: may I msg? [17:09] IdleOne: sure [17:10] I will try them out and come back in a couple of minutes, airtonix [17:10] mreichelt, it seems from your mention of arp that you have a grasp of subnetting ? === Cogito is now known as Tersogar [17:10] I ran Wireshark to see what is going on :) [17:10] but yeah, I know something about it [17:10] xissburg: ask the guys in ##windows to fix the mbr, perhaps they give you a good link [17:10] ilovefairuz: I was looking into Windows 7 Recovery Disc, but I can't run it in a disc..no disc to burn here...I only have a pendrive === padhu is now known as Padhu [17:10] IdleOne, Do you it wont work for any laptop cam?

[17:12] ChogyDan: wait I'll try [17:12] GHH: can you rephrase that last question please. I did not understand [17:12] IdleOne, ? [17:12] jtobe, i think you can yes. i have mddle click do this somwhere i thnk. [17:12] IdleOne, ok [17:13] jtobe, but i;d thnk you need to differentiate between focus and bring-to-front [17:13] xissburg: what do you have installed on hard disk, xp, vista or 7? === Cogito is now known as Tersogar [17:13] ChogyDan: it says "error: unknown file system" === Tersogar is now known as Cogito [17:13] I installed ubuntu on a powerbook g4 to use as a media server. wireless works fine, but the wired connection only shows up as 'disconnected' [17:14] ilovefairuz: I have XP in one partition and 7 in the other [17:14] MaRk-I, HI [17:14] IdleOne, I mean, Is this software for any specify laptop(I am using asus UL80V)? [17:14] xissburg: do you have an ubuntu live cd/usb ? [17:14] ubuntu on powerbook, hows that? [17:14] airtonix, i'm coming from osx. on mac when you click on a window that's not the "active window" it simply makes whatever you clicked active and you proceed to click what you want [17:14] ilovefairuz: I'm currently downloadding it to 'burn' in a pendrive...but what would i have to do then? [17:15] when i insert sd card nothing happen. how to mount sd card? [17:15] why would you install ubuntu over mac os? [17:15] how to find the source of /bin/cksum [17:15] kala: there used to be versions of Ubuntu for PowerPC [17:15] xissburg: how about ls / [17:15] xissburg: just to check around the hardisk, pastebin: sudo fdisk -l [17:15] oh [17:15] i often click anywhere on a window to bring it to the front and give it focus but by default in ubuntu that is like a normal click on the window. i don't expect that and it messed me up a lot [17:15] okay [17:15] i [17:15] ChogyDan: samething [17:15] jtobe, ubuntu does that by default. [17:15] kala, ubuntu on ppc: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/ [17:16] jtobe, in fact it does it on 'mousedown' [17:16] Rogue1, they still have them for ppc (see above link) [17:16] magicianlord, i'm not install it over :) i have several computers. i used to use linux all the time and i was osx only for a while. i'm trying to learn more about the current state of linux :) [17:16] who loves ubuntu? [17:16] GHH: the Cheese application can be used on any hardware. [17:16] airtonix, what do you mean? any time i click anywhere on the default install it is treated as if the background window was active [17:16] ilovefairuz: I'll try when the download finishes. but do you think it is possible to recover the boot loader from ubuntu? [17:17] GHH: you can install it using the Software Center [17:17] xissburg: http://www.omaregan.com/?p=583 [17:17] jtobe, also, you can have a window that is underneath another window or "not active" and if the widget in that 'inactive' window can receive mouse wheel events, you simply hover over it and mousewheel... and the window will remain inactive but process your mousewheel events [17:17] IdleOne, Then it's OK [17:17] oh yeah, why cant I install anything on software center? [17:17] xissburg: if you have xp, yes, there's a bootloader called 'lilo' that can boot it [17:17] IdleOne, software center? [17:17] hello [17:17] ilovefairuz: and about the 7 installation? [17:18] GHH: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [17:18] the 7 is the one which really matters [17:18] GHH: applications-> ibuntu software center [17:18] ubuntu [17:18] gello [17:18] jtobe, because focus is given on mouseover. [17:18] MaRk-I, I Wants to ask you something. [17:18] xissburg: you'll have to find the windows 7 cd for that, or ask for an alternative recovery disk in ##windows [17:18] airtonix, that's the same as osx. i like how you can mousewheel on anything. it's where i click on a button or something by mistake on a window that's not in the foreground and an even is fired that trips me up [17:18] hi [17:18] for some reason my new kernel is now supporting KVM, which mean that Virtual Box is not running anymore.. I have not installed KVM, so wonder how that came in the kernel [17:18] how do I calculate a one byte checksum of some data? [17:18] jtobe, it's a feature of the the default window manager for gnome , known as metacity [17:18] IdleOne, 9 [17:18] xissburg, bootsect /nt60 c:\ /mbr [17:19] airtonix, ohhh i think i get you now. how can i change that? [17:19] ie. I am supposed to add up all bytes to a final checksum byte [17:19] GHH: ok look in Synaptic Package Manager [17:19] jtobe, maybe try turn off focus on mouseover then [17:19] istvan: interesting - thanks for pointing that out :) [17:19] hi. i would like to make a video using some images and an audio. whats the best software to do that? [17:19] if I press install in software center it loads long and nothing happens? [17:19] Rogue1, np :) [17:19] IdleOne, Thanks [17:19] GHH: I have to step away, if you need more help just ask in this channel and someone will give you a hand [17:19] jtobe, through gconf maybe, fire up gconf-editor with your run dialouge: press alt+f2 then type gconf-editor [17:19] duffydack: unknown command [17:19] airtonix, hah ok i'll look for that setting :) will the mousewheel events still be received by windows in the background? [17:19] ghufran, pitivi? [17:19] xissburg, from the windows recovery mode... [17:20] ooh [17:20] re, I got disconnected [17:20] i have two hard drives, both 500gb, one partitioned 490gb and 10gb, on that 10gb i have a fully functional ubuntu installation. i installed windows and now cant boot to it anymore. and please dont just do "!grub", because what i want is to simply get my ubuntu installation thats fully there back [17:20] jtobe, maybe not, because it relies on the app having focus, which it won't get until you click on it === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [17:20] xissburg, boot from the cd, choose repair. [17:20] I am trying to get a one byte checksum of some data, any ideas how to get that? [17:20] IdleOne, IS there any way making pc to pc call and cam share in ubuntu? [17:20] xissburg: were you able to try the commands on that page? [17:20] cotavo, ok let me try it! thanks [17:20] anyone know how to make sd card work in ubuntu? [17:20] benjamin_: I'd do it in C [17:20] I want to correct the checksum value of a edid.bin datafile which I got [17:20] airtonix, thank you :) i have been searching through gconf-editor for a while looking for a solution :P [17:20] skamura, mine works out of box [17:20] ops wait ill try [17:20] BedMan: how? which commands do I use? [17:21] benjamin_: um.. md5sum might give you what you're looking for [17:21] BedMan: NO [17:21] I simply want to add all bytes together [17:21] cotavo, can pitivi also crop videos? [17:21] to get me a checksum byte [17:21] bbl [17:21] ie. the last byte of the edid file [17:22] IS there any way making pc to pc call and cam share in ubuntu(like yahoo and skype)? [17:22] benjamin_: C is a programming language - so you'd make a program to do it. [17:22] BedMan: that is my question, HOW? [17:22] I dont know how to add bytes together [17:22] airtonix, it worked using the option "Shared to other computers" [17:23] is there a sample program? [17:23] ChogyDan: that is not what happens with me [17:23] but it doesn't work with manual IP or link-local connection [17:23] can I do it with some kind of calculator? [17:23] while (c=getc) { sum+=c; } [17:23] more or less [17:23] xissburg: what do you mean? [17:23] ChogyDan: I go directly to the grub rescue command line [17:23] BedMan: no, you still dont get it [17:23] BedMan: I need a one byte checksum [17:23] ie. a cyclic addition [17:23] ChogyDan: I can't get to an OS selection or something...I only get grub rescue and get stuck there [17:23] of one byte values to get a final one byte value [17:24] make sure sum is a unsigned character [17:24] type [17:24] then it works fine [17:24] xissburg: those commands are for the grub command line [17:24] my question here is: why doesn't it work with link-local addresses or manual IPs? Because that should be the most simple way instead having a DHCP server running on one of the machines [17:24] BedMan: so unsigned character sum; ....

[17:46] !root | xeit [17:46] xeit: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[17:48] anyway i figured it out i just did sudo passwd [17:48] which is pretty funny [17:49] if sudo is supposed to be secure [17:49] why does it allow you to do sudo passwd [17:49] all someone has to do is get your user password and they have complete and total control [17:49] xeit: because you can use sudo because you are the system owner. Remember, this is *not* a discussion channel [17:49] whereas without sudo and with root login disabled, they have to get your user password AND get the root password [17:49] sudo gives the right to current user, or change the current user?

[18:34] abhijit: when you issue /mode -q without a nick or user mask it lists all the quiet modes set. abhijit please see #freenode for more info this is not an ubuntu issue [18:34] When I use the "nvidia" driver I dont get to the graphical interface, the monitor just says "No signal". The log message complains about the EDID of CRT-0 not beeing found. Apparently it is quite a serious bug. Does anyone in here have any idea what I still could try? [18:34] Hey there. I just installed Lucid with encrypted /home. Now when I log in and try to ssh into another machine, I first have to enter my password to unlock my ssh keyring (I don't have to do that on Lucid with unencrypted /home). Is there any way to automatically unlock the keyring when I log in? [18:35] Nabb: remove the passphrase? [18:35] Ugh. No other way? [18:36] winstonw the memtest has gone through 1 complete pass without any errors [18:36] Nabb: You wouldn't be able to turn the passphrase off anyway ubuntu requires one [18:37] So is there anything I can do so I don't have to type in my password twice? [18:38] Nabb, if you used the encrypted home option in the LiveCD installer be aware that that option doesn't encrypt the file names just the contents. So if you are truly paranoid or the filenames can reveal information you need to be private then consider whole-disk encryption where you will be prompted at boot for the password. [18:39] Thanks for the information, headkase314, but I'm happy as long as the content itself is encrypted ;) [18:39] Nabb, excellent - just a for your information! ;) [18:39] When I use the "nvidia" driver I dont get to the graphical interface, the monitor just says "No signal". The log message complains about the EDID of CRT-0 not beeing found. Apparently it is quite a serious bug. How do I get the edid data? I dont have access to windows. [18:39] Anybody out there have any helpful ideas on how I can resolve my issue. winstonw suggested I run memtest and so far it has not found any errors after one full pass... I have been trying to install ubuntu from scratch on an old p4 shuttle but my fresh install is constantly getting stuck on configuring APT source at 71% [18:40] coolwhoami: if it removes without errors, try 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' === headkase314 is now known as headkase314|Away [18:40] bbadbill2: what is the problem? [18:40] apt beeing stuck at 71%? [18:41] probably needs to read the system log [18:41] bbadbill2: err, you should try to read the system log, 'apt gets stuck' isn't very useful for google. [18:42] Rabbitbunny how do i do that [18:42] g0th: maybe "Screen Blanks/Monitor Turns Off" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia is relevant, maybe not [18:42] bbadbill2: I don't know. it's been about four years since I did that. [18:43] chrissharp123: It ran cleanly and I ran those commands, however none of the packages we removed attempted to even install now. [18:44] hello [18:45] how to edit the time of disappearance of google desktop ? when i press ctrl + ctrl then i comes and goes. i need to press second ctrl for long time then only it sits there [18:45] oCean_: well, seems to work for me so far, i'll work on it afterwards [18:46] Wwoooœ [18:47] why is ubuntu the biggest channel here? [18:47] unbelievable! [18:47] because [18:47] debian should be on top [18:47] rlnoob: because we are so cool! [18:47] deever: I agree that it is working, however the status of the package is still iF, which might cause problems later on. I did a "dpkg -P heimdal-kdc" and reinstalled with "sudo apt-get install heimdal-kdc" .. after that, the install finishes, leaving the package in an ok status. === headkase314|Away is now known as headkase314 [18:47] rlnoob: Because we're more popular than Debian. [18:48] !afk > headkase314 [18:48] headkase314, please see my private message [18:48] rlnoob, because Ubuntu is Linux for Human Beings!!!! :) Thats why!! all in this channel are Humans!!! [18:48] oCean_, ok, will do in future. [18:48] abhijit: except ubottu of course :) [18:48] oCean_, :D [18:48] headkase314: thanks [18:49] thune3: I already tried this and it didnt help [18:49] ah that sounds reasonable. there are more humans out there than programmers [18:49] hi [18:50] !ot > rlnoob [18:50] rlnoob, please see my private message [18:50] ubottu: you human? [18:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:50] hi ubottu do you mean i should quit this channel? [18:50] I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with my Microphone on ubuntu 10.04 64-bit ? [18:50] g0th: so I take you are trying to use a CRT through your VGA port [18:50] hi! Any idea how to use ppa-purge on badgerports PPA? [18:50] !hi | kurt__ [18:50] kurt__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [18:50] kurt__: what's the problem? [18:51] rlnoob: no, you're welcome to idle in this channel. It's only that your input should be on topic (technical support questions) [18:51] basically my microphone does not work properly :/ when i playback what it recorded or use it in skype its all fuzzy and sound breaking up [18:51] I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card mainly for the use of desktop effects and generally a better preformance. I've never done this before, any tips on which card would be best?. I currently have a Nvidia one a later version i believe. [18:52] i recently got rid of windows and now only ubuntu on my laptop, so im still getting to grips with ubuntu everything works fine but my microphone :( [18:52] its an internal mic btw [18:53] i was told to install "gnome alsa mixer" but it didnt make a difference :( any ideas ? [18:54] kurt__, what about pavucontrol and padevchooser [18:54] thune3: I am not sure what kind of connections I use... [18:54] i havent tried them [18:54] thune3: but I tried to specify the option that is given on the website and it didnt work. [18:54] coolwhoami: that's to be expected, probably. You might do 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic python-pyatspi gnome-orca python-ubuntuone-client ubuntuone-client ubuntuone-client-gnome xulrunner-1.9.2' to get them back [18:54] they will be in the "ubuntu softare centre" ? [18:55] kurt__, that is for pulseaudio configuration/device choosing [18:55] hmm ok, i need to install them both ? [18:55] kurt__: in terminal: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol padevchooser [18:55] kurt__, synaptic package manager would be a surer bet [18:55] wondering if nautilus has a BULK RENAMER like the one under Thunar -- it great because it does regex and also can rename mp3s based on the audio tags. << ?? [18:55] rsvp: no? [18:55] ok [18:55] rsvp: you can always use bash [18:55] i found "PulseAudio Volume control" install that ? [18:56] g0th: your error message is basically saying, "I'm expecting a monitor connected to VGA port, and there either isn't one or it doesn't support edid". My guess is that you have nothing connected to vga port. Is this a laptop with internal screen? pci card? [18:56] Sometimes my tray indicators start up mangled, requiring reboot. Can someone look at this picture and tell me why?: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/587338/mangled_indicators.png [18:56] Kwpolska, bash does not look up audio tags (AFAIK as of v4 ;-) to do renames. [18:57] kurt__, let me check [18:57] ok [18:57] gary_inNYC: since that is gnome and not kde you might get a better answer in #ubuntu.. however there may be others here that can also answer that question. [18:57] rsvp: you can do it with a good script [18:57] nooo.... install works ok, slows down at dpkg... now (for the second time) showing 98% complete, no other messages, no hard disk activity, no optical drive activity, nothing :'( [18:57] rlnoob, because Ubuntu is Linux for Human Beings!!!! :) Thats why!! all in this channel are Humans!!! [18:57] how to edit the time of disappearance of google desktop ? when i press ctrl + ctrl then i comes and goes. i need to press second ctrl for long time then only it sits there [18:58] rlnoob, sorry for msg repeat [18:58] oh, and neither keyboard nor mouse are responsiv e [18:58] abhijit: ubuntu is linux for big disks [18:58] gary_inNYC: sorry.. Thought I was in the kubutnu channel :) [18:58] kurt__, apt-cache search turns up pavumeter pavucontrol and you likely will also want to install padevchooser [18:58] Scunizi: np [18:58] ok [18:58] has anyone used ppa-purge? [18:59] gsedej_, I have, ppa-purge --help <- have you done that? [18:59] Kwpolska, one can do anything in theory with a Turing complete machine, OK -- but here, I'm looking for convenience as to QUICK renames. [18:59] Any thoughts on the install-freeze, anyone? [18:59] hi [19:00] Hello I need some help I installed ubuntu 10.4 on my second sata drive and It says not supported and wont boot? [19:00] Can someone help me figure this out! [19:00] bbadbill2, try disconnecting your computer from the network [19:00] hmm what am i meant to do with apt-cache ? its a terminal command or ? sorry im still getting used to linux [19:00] ironfoot495, what not supported? [19:00] rsvp: thunar? [19:00] gsedej_, basically the parameter you pass to ppa-purge is the ppa line from launchpad. I don't know how to mangle what is in your sources.list file to the parameter ppa-purge takes [19:01] It will just say not support and wont boot? [19:01] ironfoot495, what is actual error? [19:01] kurt__, okay, no need for it really at this point; just handy for searching via the terminal: apt-cache search (term here) usually provides lots of potentially interesting/needed software packages [19:01] fresh ubuntu 10.04 install with /boot on /dev/sda1 and root partition on LVM volume on a software raid device drops into initramfs shell [19:02] Kwpolska, thunar does great bulk renaming -- how do nautilus users do it? [19:02] abhijit:wont boot just says not support? [19:02] kurt__, you might wish to have a look at the ubuntu manual as well [19:02] ahh ok [19:02] chrissharp123: trying that now, thank you for the help :) [19:02] ok [19:02] !manual | kurt__ this is helpful [19:02] kurt__ this is helpful: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [19:02] ironfoot495, ohh cant help then [19:02] thanks :) [19:02] !insta [19:03] !install [19:03] headkase314, in sources.list I see this line deb http://badgerports.org lucid main [19:03] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [19:03] ok.. [19:03] headkase314, "sudo ppa-purge ppa:badgerports" does not work [19:03] abhijit:when installing It said install MBR on first Drive. [19:03] Hi all; I am confused about something I read -- does disabling Visual Effects (System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects) in fact change your window manager? [19:04] i installed them 3 things "pavumeter" "pavucontrol" "padevchooser" is that all i need to do install them or i have to run them for my microphone to work properly ? [19:04] ironfoot495, yah i dunno further. you ask to channel. [19:04] iredux, no [19:04] I am encountering bugs with flash when used with google chrome [19:04] i seem to be having some problems with my sound in ubuntu [19:05] !sound | Lord-Nikon [19:05] Lord-Nikon: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [19:05] when i plug in the headphones, the sound still comes out the speakers [19:05] kurt__, right click add them to top panel and adjust there [19:05] rsvp: install thunar or use other tools [19:05] Lord-Nikon: driver bug [19:05] I guess I'll look further thanks though. [19:05] chrissharp123: Awesome! It installed cleanly. Thank you! [19:05] Lord-Nikon: ubuntu-bug -s audio [19:05] well you dont even know what driver im using yet [19:05] ok [19:05] Lord-Nikon: doesnt matter, if jack sense is broken, its a driver bug [19:06] its there and running [19:06] Lord-Nikon: so whatever driver you're using... it's broken [19:06] but my microphone sound is still fuzzy and breaking up :s [19:06] gsedej_, here is a link -> http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/637-remove-ppa-repositories-via-command-line-in-ubuntu-restore-oficial-package-using-ppa-purge <- but again, I don't know how to convert a sources.list line into a ppa line, I know you should use the same line you used with "add-apt-repository" [19:06] no because i ran linux before and used OSS [19:06] and it worked just fine [19:06] but that was in slackware [19:06] Lord-Nikon: and ubuntu uses ALSA, not OSS [19:06] i think its an ALSA bug [19:06] Lord-Nikon: because ALSA is what's in the kernel [19:07] coolwhoami: you're welcome! glad it worked out [19:07] thanks ahbijit -- I was confused because I ran into the problem where remote desktops won't update if desktop effects are on, and most command line solutions were "change the window manager" [19:07] how do you disable alsa on startup? [19:07] headkase314, thanks! [19:07] i could blacklist that [19:07] and install oss4 [19:07] and hopefully that would fix it [19:07] gsedej_, you're welcome, hope it helps! [19:07] Lord-Nikon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:07] but i dont know how to blacklist modules in ubuntu [19:07] Lord-Nikon: you can patch the kernel with OSS and recompile it and not be supported, sure [19:07] <_mem> hi all [19:07] iredux, yah to solve the problem you can try switching the windows manager [19:07] should running PulseAudio have fixed my mic ? :s [19:07] Does anybody know how I can fix the bug in flash, I can't jump forward in a youtube video [19:08] Lord-Nikon: but that wont change the fact that the only way the ALSA bug is getting fixed is if you report it [19:08] <_jesse_> hey all, I've done some searching but all I can find is old threads, has anyone had any luck installing the Zune software on ubuntu? [19:08] oss works as a module i shouldnt have to recompile [19:08] <_mem> can you please compare Ubuntu and Debian Mirrors [19:08] im sure they already know about this [19:08] <_mem> which one is more complete/Update? [19:08] Lord-Nikon: dont you want others with your hardware to have it working too? And parts of ALSA are compiled in (not as modules) in ubuntu's kernel for faster boot times [19:08] theyve probably already fixed it in a newer version [19:08] _mem: What? [19:08] Lord-Nikon: you can test that by trying Ubuntu 10.10 alpha 3 [19:09] Lord-Nikon: the "fixed in newer versions" thing, i mean [19:09] eh i dont want to install a whole new thing [19:09] _mem: Ubuntu takes a lot of its packages from Debian. [19:09] I typed: 'ln -s ~/Desktop ~/desktop' (are system folders). So, the result was terrible. How to safely remove this symlink? [19:09] i think im just gonna switch to archlinux it seems pretty solid [19:09] Lord-Nikon: we have live cds :) [19:09] _mem: Ubuntu updates some of those packages. [19:09] ive been having a lot of problems with ubuntu [19:10] North_Italian69, to remove a symlink just delete the destination link [19:10] _mem: You can check the version of packages.ubuntu.com / packages.debian.org [19:10] Lord-Nikon: at least get http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh and run it with "bash" so i have info about your hardware, and i'll hand it off to a kernel person [19:10] Lord-Nikon: if you are using hda audio, and know codec/mobo there are some module options in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz that might help [19:10] Lord-Nikon: and i do mean bash, not sh [19:10] can anyone help me with my microphone problem ? please [19:10] headkase314: doesn't exists. it is symbolic [19:10] North_Italian69, make sure you don't delete the source, just the link destination you made [19:10] is it possible to burn data in a already burned CD-R? [19:10] maco: couldnt i just do lspci|grep audio [19:10] Lord-Nikon: no [19:11] Lord-Nikon: thats almost useless info [19:11] North_Italian69, sorry, worked for me ;) [19:11] oCean_: how did you remove the lock left by the first (killed) install? [19:11] Lord-Nikon: the script i linked includes codec revision, subsystem IDs, and pin routing [19:11] eh i hink im just going to switch to oss [19:11] it seems a lot simpler [19:11] headkase314: i make a try [19:11] alsa is a huge mess by comparison [19:11] Lord-Nikon: why don't you just stop? [19:11] Lord-Nikon: at least give me the debugging info i need to see it be fixed for others with your hardware === chazz_ is now known as chazz [19:12] oCean_: stop what? [19:12] xissburg: data, perhaps (depens wether the session is closed or not). an iso, no. [19:12] <_mem> simply can you said which one ? [19:13] can anyone help me with my audio problem please ? : / [19:13] ilovefairuz: :| [19:13] Hi folks. What is the command line to handle consolefonts? [19:13] Hey. Ive experienced green screen using hdmi with my HTPC. With windows, the green screen was gone when windows had loaded, but now on ubuntu, it wont go off even its loaded (it's green screen since bios post). now I've come up with something, but im not totally sure. It's related either to HDCP or then RGB/YUV. I looked up and you can change if the resolution is RGB/YUV on ps3ubuntu, but can you do this on the regular ubuntu? [19:14] sudo dpkg-reconfigure ??? [19:14] !sound > kurt__ [19:14] kurt__, please see my private message [19:15] can anyone help me, i'm new to backtrack [19:15] pibarnas: console-setup is the package [19:15] !backtrack | kd8fup [19:15] kd8fup: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[19:15] ok thanks === Bariferius is now known as GregK [19:16] maco: what about mint? [19:16] its the same as ubuntu [19:16] Lord-Nikon: also not allowed here [19:16] what about kubuntu? [19:16] Lord-Nikon this is strictly Ubuntu [19:16] Lord-Nikon: we dont support mint in this channel [19:16] what about kubuntu? [19:17] #kubuntu [19:17] what about xubuntu? [19:17] #xubunu [19:17] *#xubuntu [19:17] what about ubuntu muslim edition? [19:17] !troll | Lord-Nikon [19:17] Lord-Nikon: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel === kwpolska is now known as Kwpolska [19:17] Lord-Nikon: there is no project named that [19:17] can anyone help me with my problem ? the links the bot sent me in private chat were nothing to do with my problem :/ [19:18] I'm not sure if he was trolling - I *did* read about an Islamic ubuntu distro [19:18] GregK: there is, but its not called that. its called Sabily [19:18] maco, ah ok thanks === neutrino is now known as tar- [19:18] Ubuntu Muslim Edition review -> http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2010/07/22/ubuntu-muslim-edition-10-04-sabily/ [19:19] is there a way i can get a copy of ubottu to use on my irc? [19:19] i'm getting "dpkg: status database area is locked by another process". how can i remove this lock? [19:19] headkase314: interesting. they're getting the name wrong. both "Christian Edition" and "Muslim Edition" were told they were violating the Ubuntu trademark and had to renamed -- to Ichthus and Sabily, respectively [19:19] deever, kill all apt processes [19:19] can any one help with a microphone problem ? im not sure if its driver or what im new to linux microphone is my only problem [19:19] Lord-Nikon: yes, her code is hosted on launchpad.net [19:20] kurt__, what soundcard do you have [19:20] why is christian/muslim edition a violation of the ubuntu trademark? [19:20] i thought ubuntu was opensource [19:20] databridge: i'm having this exactly because i killed an apt process [19:20] Lord-Nikon: using the name "ubuntu" while not being ubuntu [19:20] and freely modifiable [19:20] and redistributable [19:20] i used to have frostwire installed through synaptic, it's vanished from my internet menu, and now when i search for it with synaptic there are no results? how can i remedy this? [19:20] but they were ubuntu [19:20] Lord-Nikon and before you ask, the answer is "no". Ubuntu is *NOT* an African word meaning "can't configure Debian" [19:20] Lord-Nikon: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy [19:21] ive run ubuntu christian edition [19:21] Lord-Nikon: no, they are an unofficial derivative [19:21] its ubuntu [19:21] databridge according to "Sysinfo" its a "Silicon Integrated [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller" [19:21] there is no "official" its open source software [19:21] Lord-Nikon: stop now or I am going to ban you. [19:21] Lord-Nikon: you need to go and learn the difference between trademark and copyright [19:21] by your definition ubuntu is an "unofficial" debian derivative [19:21] "Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 0801" === neutrino is now known as tar- [19:21] maco, you are a nice guy, but you're being trolled [19:21] maco, don't feed him [19:22] Lord-Nikon: trademark issues to #ubuntu-offtopic please. this is a support channel [19:22] GregK: they know.. really [19:22] any ideas on how to get it to use my microphone properly ? [19:22] deever, so there is maybe a file in /var that needs to be deleted [19:22] kurt__, in the audio control panel you need to choose your mic and then you can test it there [19:22] Welcome to #ubuntu!

[19:23] deever: because I had the same thing, since I tried the same install, remember? [19:23] anything else with sound works music, youtube etc but when i use my mic and playback what my mic is recording its so bad sound you cant make a word out :( [19:24] kurt__, maybe your soundcard is not 100% supported [19:24] i had this also [19:24] kurt__, tried setting in padevchooser? [19:24] im sure it worked before though on 8.04 [19:24] databridge: deleted /var/lock/aptitude but still the same problem [19:24] mmt [19:24] deever: if you still have that, I can help [19:24] deever, reconfigure apt [19:24] im not sure how to do that, someone told me to install it and left it at that stopped replying to me [19:24] deever: do this: "sudo fuser /var/cache/debconf/config.dat" [19:24] kurt__, add to panel [19:24] ok [19:24] kurt__, get yourself a cheap cmedia 8738 soundcard [19:24] kurt__, right click add to panel and set there [19:25] deever: it will return the processID using the config.dat file [19:25] Is there an easy way to send keystrokes over ssh (so its as if the connected keyboard sent it, gui apps on :0.0 receive the strokes) [19:25] ? [19:25] strip naked and whip yourself with a coathanger [19:25] ubuntu is taking too much time to run from pendrive [19:25] wow [19:26] i have a pulseaudio applet added to my panel cant find a padevchooser though :s [19:26] what [19:26] yrrol: synergy ?

[19:26] Wiebe, I'm using a tablet [19:26] yrrol: but maybe thats not what you mean exactly.. [19:26] cant run that stuff [19:26] kurt__, try to enable the mic boost if one is there [19:26] ok [19:27] yrrol: why you even want to send keystrokes over SSH then ? [19:27] sup all [19:27] oCean_: yes, this was it, thanks! :) [19:27] Wiebe, because sometimes I'm lazy and i dont want to get up to make it skip a song or FF a movie :) [19:28] deever: cheers! [19:28] i cant find a mic boost [19:28] bluetooth just didnt work (tried for a long time) [19:28] yrrol: "it" is your table ? [19:28] tablet * [19:28] yes, of course.. [19:28] how can I find out what process is using a file? [19:29] Wiebe, Tablet in hand in bed/on couch, ubuntu machine a couple meters away :) [19:29] racarter: use "fuser" [19:29] lsof [19:29] racarter: or "lsof" [19:29] hi, how do i copy multiple folders to my NAS in one go using CLI? i am ssh'd into the source server and would like to do it via cli. i read i can use lftp mirror -R but i think it does only 1 folder at a time? [19:29] yrrol: aah so you want to make your ubuntu machine skip a song, not your tablet :P [19:30] hehe yes ;) [19:30] i mean is this pulseaudio meant to even do anything apart from be another type of volume control ? becuase it hasnt changed anything :/ [19:30] yrrol: well i dont know how to send keystrokes via SSH, but you could check if you can control the apps via the CLI ? [19:30] yrrol you could use X Forwarding with SSH to do it [19:30] yrrol if I understand your problem correctly [19:31] A1B2C3: i'd be curious if restarting the panel "killall gnome-panel" fixes it. (another possible workaround short of logging out) [19:31] GregK: but he wants to display the movie on his Ubuntu machine [19:31] GregK, for instance if I'm watching a movie, id rather watch it on the big screen connected to my ubuntu box not on the tiny tablet screen [19:31] yrrol: why dont you try out Boxee ? [19:32] Wiebe ah I *did* read it wrong :) [19:32] yrrol: it has a remote app for iPhone and iPad maybe another way (web interface?) of controlling it too ? [19:32] <_chun> Hi - when I installed ubuntu I created a partition (ext4) and set it to mount at /home/db/Downloads -- except it seems to be readonly... any ideas why? fstab: http://pastebin.com/s2iJpuHz [19:32] Wiebe, is it open? [19:32] thune3, yes it solves [19:32] looks pretty [19:33] anyone mind giving me a hand please [19:33] _chun: post /proc/mounts [19:33] kurt__ ask away [19:33] !ask > kurt__ [19:33] kurt__, please see my private message [19:33] <_chun> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/4vdUYEty [19:33] kurt__ note that that isn't an agreement to help you - only telling you what the bot just did in PM :) [19:33] yrrol: http://code.google.com/p/boxee-web-remote/ :) [19:34] my microphone does not work properly if i try to record with mic or use skype the sound comes out all fuzzy and broke up [19:34] Wiebe nicely googled! [19:34] there has to be a simple way to send keystrokes as if it is the local keyboard though, like echo [something] >> /dev/input/by-path/kdb [19:34] kurt__: are you using a desktop pc? i so, did you plug it in to the front panel?

[19:42] help0? [19:43] justin_, At the top Click Places and then your Win Partition [19:43] It will mount [19:43] kurt__: Starting is always a little difficult. Consider dual booting until you get the hang of it. [19:43] it doesnt show the partition [19:43] tried that before i always find myself just using windows all the time [19:43] oCean_: and amazingly the second time, install runs to completion! :o [19:43] pocoyo: That only gives me total-stats, and anyway none of them are about disk-space :( [19:43] A1B2C3: i'm still looking around for a possible fix, your problem sounds like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9620833 but no good solution there. [19:44] justin_, do you see something which says "XXX GB File System"? If so, that is probably it.. [19:44] justin_, LIve CD, Proper Install or is it WUBI? [19:44] im not up for not having a fully functional laptop for however long it takes for me to find a solution or someone who can help :/ [19:44] weedar: yeah~ u're right :D [19:44] how do I add files into file.rar, using the rar command ? [19:44] i cannot figure out the syntax [19:44] weedar: maybe --> aptitude search --sort installsize '?installed' | tail [19:44] fully installed xubuntu 10.04. its a dual boot [19:44] profxavier, info rar [19:44] nevermind [19:45] man rar in terminal [19:45] the archive name is before the files [19:45] justin_, Can you see omething like "XXGB File System"? [19:45] erUSUL: thanks, that might be a step in the right direction :) It doesn't show how much space each package takes, though [19:45] With X being a number [19:45] weedar: see the manpage of aptitude the -F option [19:46] no it just shows my ipod and my filesystem [19:46] weedar: but aptitude already does the sorting for you [19:47] how to boot into live ubuntu ? [19:48] xissburg, do you have a LiveCD ? [19:48] is there a current opensource solution for hosting something like box.net on my shiny new lamp server (file hosting with web interface) [19:48] ok thanks guys i used gigolo to mount it [19:48] profxavier: I installed it in a pendrive [19:48] the ubuntu iso === root is now known as Guest59392 [19:48] xissburg, and you can boot from USB ? [19:49] xissburg, its a BIOS setting [19:49] bitrate, #ubuntu-server [19:49] profxavier: yes I get it and I can select "Run Ubuntu from this USB"...it shows a few lines of text that is loading this and that...then it gets to the ubuntu splash screen and gets stuck there [19:49] kk thank you [19:50] profxavier: I waited like 5 minutes and it didnt move forward :( [19:50] xissburg, is it a LiveCD though, as there are two -types- of media, for loading/installing Ubuntu [19:50] xissburg: How long did you wait? Sometimes i can that a (very) long while before really going further... [19:50] xissburg, you can usually tell by the menu [19:51] xissburg, if there is a menu, to go into LiveUbuntu or install Ubuntu [19:51] [if its the LIVE CD] [19:51] deever: yeah, I had that same thing (the reinstall succeeding) No clue to what happens the first time though.. [19:51] profxavier: it says Installer Boot Menu [19:52] xissburg, and is there an option to go into LiveUbuntu ? [19:52] thune3, thanks looking at the problem, it is an anoying one, maybe i could delete some config file from gnome-panel to reset it to default ? [19:52] erUSUL: Thanks for your help, I got the output I wanted with "aptitude search -F "%p " --sort installsize '?installed' | tail" :) [19:52] CyberGabber: I waited like 5 minutes and nothing happened [19:52] profxavier: no [19:52] xissburg, what is the ISO name, that you put on the USB stick [19:53] copy/paste it into here [19:53] weedar: ?? is %I [19:53] Hm, something happened with the text I pasted, the formatting pattern should be "percentage P and percentage I" [19:53] * erUSUL saw a strange char here [19:53] xissburg, do you -need- the LiveCD ? [19:53] profxavier: ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso [19:54] profxavier: I don't know, really [19:54] erUSUL: I'm using Konversation, I'm guessing it uses "% I" for something internally, it didn't show here anyway [19:54] well...I think I should start a thread in the forums... [19:54] I just didn't do so yet because I'm so frustrated and was looking for a fast solution [19:55] I already wasted like 10 hours with this problem... [19:55] Is it safe to upgrade from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4 cause i have very important files in the harddisk ? [19:55] xissburg, what are you trying to do ? [19:56] percentage I italicized the text on this Windows version of X-Chat [19:56] profxavier: Wubi trashed my boot loader [19:56] profxavier: when I try to boot I only get a grub rescue command line [19:56] I installed ubuntu from Win7 using Wubi [19:56] what is the terminal command to restart X? [19:57] profxavier: I don't really know what to do [19:57] xissburg: burn a copy of the windows recovery disk and restore the MBR [19:57] A1B2C3: the only think i'm finding that seems like it might work, although it is not exactly related is http://www.ubuntugeek.com/possible-solutions-to-fix-the-missing-network-manager-icon-in-ubuntu-9-10.html [19:57] @morbio: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (or 'sudo start gdm') [19:57] microsoft's site has instructions [19:57] anyone dl and install apps that leave launcher on Desktop but they don't work because they are 'not trusted' ? [19:57] nisstyre65: I can't burn it on a CD [19:57] xissburg: I dont now that version, but try this, Boot from CD, until you see the bootmenu. Press F6 'other option', set a cross at 'noapic', and boot. [19:57] how to fix, apart from deleting? [19:58] morbio, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304325 [19:58] ledbettj, thanks. [19:58] @morbio: actually if it's already running you would use 'restart' instead of start [19:58] CyberGabber: what? what CD? [19:58] thune3, thanks looking at the problem, it is an anoying one, maybe i could delete some config file from gnome-panel to reset it to default ? [19:58] xissburg: Sorry, not CD, usbstick [19:59] nisstyre65: I would like to burn the recovery CD to a usb but I couldnt find a way [19:59] !panel | A1B2C3 [19:59] !panels | A1B2C3 [19:59] A1B2C3: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:59] in 9.10 I'd be asked and if trusted then they'd change to a proper launcher icon. This feels regressive in 10.4 [19:59] xiss unetbootin [20:00] oops xissburg unetbootin ? [20:00] A1B2C3: ^ that's the way to get defaults, but i'm not sure it would help (wouldn't hurt anything though) [20:00] Is it safe to upgrade from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4 cause i have very important files in the harddisk ? [20:00] CyberGabber: there's no F6, neither Other Options [20:01] moayad, always make backups of your files before you attempt a dist-upgrade - if it can go wrong, it will! [20:01] moayad, backup files [20:01] Thanks everyone :D [20:01] actually what is Live Ubuntu? [20:01] moayad, why u wanna upgrade ? [20:01] xissburg, UBuntu, loaded into RAM [20:02] hi there [20:02] I can't do it just using the one I have? which is getting stuck? [20:02] xissburg, that way you can do anything you want on the harddrives, or you can just plain install Ubuntu [20:02] hiexpo : I want the long support for the 10.4 version . [20:02] xissburg, it is not a LiveCD [20:02] i need help finding printer drivers for a brother mfc-5840CN [20:02] [the one you have] [20:02] I'll try unetbootin [20:02] xissburg, its just an install CD [20:02] hm] [20:02] linux_is_my_hero, linuxprinting.org check there first [20:02] but yeah, try that [20:03] moayad, stay with 9.10 i personally like it better bugs all gone [20:03] moayad, my experience with dist-upgrading is that it is always better to backup, flatten the works and do a clean install. It just seems that configuring a new install has less problems than dealing with things that may go wrong in the dist-upgrade. Just my preference: clean install always. [20:03] why GTK2 scrue up with nautilus? [20:04] hiexpo , headkase314 : thanks for you both , I think that i am sticking with 9.10 :D [20:04] dist upgrade = train wreck [20:05] moayad, you're welcome! ;) [20:05] moayad, welcome [20:05] Hi folks, I've been having trouble with an install of Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop i386. Fixed the blinking-cursor problems, but now the install gets to 98% and freezes - no hard disk or optical drive activity, and both the keyboard and mouse become totally nonresponsive. Second time it's done it whilst trying to install (last time was 95%), and the md5sum on the ISO checks out ok -- any ideas [20:05] ? [20:05] thune3, i'll try that, maybe it is coming since an update [20:06] moayad saudien ? [20:06] hey all [20:06] linux_is_my_hero, you find? [20:07] thune3, i'll try that, maybe it is coming since an update [20:07] hiexpo: I think it's only fair to tell people that you speak of your own experience in stead of generalizing.. I did several successful dist-upgrades [20:07] linux_is_my_hero, i have brother dcp 167 and got it working [20:07] livingdaylight: no, but i found something else @ the brother website [20:07] just got ubuntu installed over vista32, when booting the system, i can choose ubuntu, but when i do, another screen appears that lets me choose from some two vistas where one boots my vista and the other one leads to vista recovery - any help pls? [20:07] livingdaylight: whered u get ur driver? [20:07] linux_is_my_hero, from their website [20:07] IdleOne, - how are ya doing buddy log time no talk [20:08] A1B2C3: worth a shot, i can't find anything else useful. [20:08] thune3, i looked at the ubuntu forum you sent, i already tryed that few weeks ago, it was not fixing the issu [20:08] linux_is_my_hero, http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html [20:08] good thanks hiexpo [20:09] linux_is_my_hero, http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-5840CN [20:09] anyone could try to help me? [20:09] me [20:09] oCean_, if you have NO ppa's added to your system a dist-upgrade goes smoother. On my system I have plenty of PPA's added and that makes a dist-upgrade fraught with peril! ;) [20:10] what should I do if an install is hung in the Package Manager? [20:10] livingdaylight: do you have x86 or x64? [20:10] VR-Fist i think you must do a vista update the just fix grub from your live cd [20:11] megabraker: well, i don't have a live cd, i installed with the win installer [20:11] ah [20:11] headkase314: during dist-upgrade I disable my ppa's. But the general statement "dist-upgrade = trainwreck" is not fair in my opinion [20:11] linux_is_my_hero, x86 [20:11] 32bit [20:11] megabraker: may that be the prob? [20:11] livingdaylight: can i just use an apt-get command to get the right driver from somewhere else? [20:11] oCean_, point conceded ;) [20:11] VR-Fist did your vista run if you choose the first one # not the recovary ? [20:11] yeah [20:12] megabraker: it run like if it booted before ubuntu install [20:12] installed from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer [20:12] linux_is_my_hero, did you try just plugging in and seeing whether ubuntu configures it out of the box? [20:13] VR-Fist i have not used wibu yet but i think it would installed as a program [20:13] yep [20:13] livingdaylight: it finds the printer no problem, but it cant find the driver. even after a system update and reboot [20:13] livingdaylight: which is why im here :-) [20:13] megabraker: it installs as a program, which downloads the ubuntu system and then runs installer [20:13] headkase314, - i agree depends on whats on old dist i have no good luck with dist upgrade about 12 percent > if it was abasic box it's ok but if not train wreck head on [20:14] megabraker: like this http://www.ubuntu.com/sites/default/files/active/02_ubuntu/U2_desktop/U2.2.2_wubi/U2.2.2_04_medium.jpg [20:14] just search in your desktop and you will find the ubuntu icon , for the recovery problem just insert the vista cd and do the recovery [20:14] megabraker: i dont need any vista recovery, the first option boots as it booted when it was the only system [20:14] hiexpo, a dist-upgrade certainly does not succeed 100% of the time. Pragmatically, again, my experience is a clean install is less of a headache! ;) [20:15] linux_is_my_hero, then its not in repository. Therefore follow the link i gave you. Download and install the two drivers. They are .deb files therefore you can install them either by right clicking and using GDebi Installer or command line using sudo dpkg -i foo.deb [20:15] megabraker: the ubuntu appears after starting the computer, so it is installes as an os [20:15] hiexpo, headkase314 dist-upgrade is not for moving between versions [20:15] VR-Fist to remove this recovary thing you need to do the recovery i think there is onother way but it isadvenced [20:15] !dist-upgrade | hiexpo headkase314 [20:15] hiexpo headkase314: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [20:16] VR-Fist you vista loads your ubuntu loads so where is the problem ? [20:16] megabraker: nope, i will explain it better [20:16] bazhang, you're right, I meant "upgrade-manager -d"? I believe that's it but I'm probably wrong again.. :) [20:16] bazhang, agreed [20:16] megabraker: after the install, the pc rebooted and I chose ubuntu, which booted, shown ubuntu screen and installed the OS [20:16] A question about the msttcorefonts. On Wine, I've noticed a few programs that don't seem to work with the new fonts package "ttf-mscorefonts-installer". The program runs but it outputs everything in some wacked out version of ASCII. I'm thinking that maybe some of the corefonts are missing from this updated package. Is there are place that Times New Roman or Arial can be downloaded so I can add them to my Linux manually? [20:16] headkase314, that would move people to the develop version (10.10) [20:16] headkase314: oh, we were talking about different "upgrades" anyway :| [20:17] megabraker: restarted again, I choose ubuntu (not vista) and some two vista options appear [20:17] VR-Fist then?

I use an Android (2.1) phone to tether. My phones IP is 192.168.0.192 and the Ubuntu comp claims its IP is 192.168.100.100 [20:19] you try to boot ubntu from C wich leeds to vista load [20:19] megabraker there's a C:\ubuntu folder [20:19] However, I'm not able to connect to the machine with either of the IPs [20:19] Any ideas what I can try? [20:19] VR-Fist, wubi? [20:20] bazhang yep [20:20] so it is spoken that it is not wise to upgrade from one version to another bazhang [20:20] bazhang, I'm a bit more clear on it now - however I still do clean installs! :) ;) [20:20] bazhang i didnt upgrade, it was clean install over vista === carlos is now known as Guest46433 [20:20] VR-Fist you would execute ubuntu as a program === icebuntu is now known as finickydesert [20:20] !raid [20:20] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:20] hiexpo, no not at all; dist-upgrade itself is just not the way to go [20:20] !wubi [20:20] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

[20:22] wubi is actually an .exe that runs inside win and from which (I understand) you can install ubuntu [20:22] cyphase, wine is a emulator. the font of the program still applies [20:23] megabraker bazhang: this appears ok: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=boot-screen.jpg [20:23] pure_hate, wine = Wine Is Not an Emulator ;) [20:23] roydude: the 3 rules from transporter? a deal is a deal, no names, don't open the package [20:23] megabraker may that be because i have a 32 bit system while it downloaded 64 bit? [20:23] pure_hate, WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator) is not an Emulator, it is a "compatibility layer" or a translation layer between Windows Application Programming Interface's to Linux ones. [20:23] if anyone can explain why they still make 32 bit computers, please, just put me out of my misery. [20:24] pure_hate, That's what I thought. I was just checking to see if it was possible. [20:24] VR-Fist maybe or maybe you mustn't install ubuntu as the same drive as windows [20:24] hi pure_hate [20:24] hola pure_hate [20:24] megabraker kk will check the drivers if 32bit doesn work [20:24] hola guys [20:24] thx for your help guys [20:25] welcom === lit3l is now known as litel [20:26] Hi everybody [20:26] is there a way to display hidden directories with the tree command? [20:27] AzizLight, Hit Ctrl-H when you are in Nautilus [20:27] pure_hate i tried to emulate what you bt guys did , i just wanted to add thc hydra to my application menu in the command fieled i typed gnome-terminal -e hydra but when i execute terminal don't wait and it closes directly after puting thc hydra help any idea? [20:27] yes ubuntu! [20:27] AzizLight, Ctrl-H reveals all hidden files and folders [20:28] finickydesert dzayer? [20:28] cypher-neo: the tree command is a command line tool...what brought up Nautilus? [20:28] dzayer? what? [20:28] anyone wanna help me find a printer driver thats x64? brother mfc-5840cn [20:29] does anyone know how to replicate passwords between machines? i have 3 boxes with useraccount "pagan0ne" and when i change the password on one, i would like it to change it on all, but i want the home directory to remain on each machine respectively? is this possible? where would i start? [20:29] you have a desert animal name with desrt lol [20:29] Well, the real problem is that Ubuntu can't find any wireless networks. It's a fresh install of 10.04 on a HP Pavillion dv9525 [20:29] AzizLight: tree -a [20:29] AzizLight, Umm, there is also a tree command in the Nautilus window. [20:29] Hey folks, I'm trying to echo check >> my raid array any bash returns permission denied (I'm a super user) [20:30] gFred: have you enabled your hardware drivers for your wifi card? i have an hp tx2500 and i had to get extra drivers for my wifi to work. [20:30] thune3: I tried that..the -a option is to display hidden files not folders [20:30] linux_is_my_hero: I have tethered conncetion through my phone now, but Ubuntu can't find any restricted drivers [20:31] if you can, connect through ethernet. simple. [20:31] pagan0ne, i highly doubt it's worth the effort - but you could setup LDAP as a centralized login authority for all three boxes (I've never played with LDAP as it's too complicated for my needs) I doubt you'll find a method for syncing passwords another way (would be a possible security issues I'd imagine) [20:31] linux_is_my_hero: I can't :/ [20:31] hi, can anyone tell me where to find xorg.conf in lucid? [20:31] AzizLight, If you're looking to display all files and folders in the Terminal, use ls -a [20:31] GUYS [20:31] gFred: do a system update, then reboot, then go to system-->admin-->hardware drivers and your wifi drivers should show up [20:32] so now I'm at Ubuntu Live.What should I do?? [20:32] ZykoticK9, but that would require the machines to have local net access to login right? or can it be configured to keep creds locally on each machine? [20:32] profxavier: :O [20:32] russ, it's not there by default - you'd need to create one see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [20:32] cypher-neo: I know how to use the terminal, I was asking about the tree command...thanks for trying though ;) [20:32] Hello, I really need help [20:32] linux_is_my_hero: ok, I'll try that [20:32] thanks :) [20:32] russ, /usr/lib/X11 ? [20:32] xissburg: You installed via wubi initially, correct? [20:32] pagan0ne, LDAP is a huge undertaking - i'm really not sure of the details - good luck. [20:32] gFred: sure [20:32] Jordan_U: Yes [20:33] ZykoticK9, its worth looking into for me, i like learning new things/setups [20:33] anyone wanna help me with finding a printer driver that i cant find? my printer manufacturer doesnt supply drivers for x64 ubuntu :-( [20:33] only x86 [20:33] ok the tree command displays hidden folders with the -a option but it ommits .git/ ... [20:33] megabraker: u still on man? got a small question [20:33] new ubuntu 10.4 install on compaq 615. Had to set xforcevesa on boot, but gdm crashes out [20:33] linux_is_my_hero, it may not exist :| Good luck man [20:33] linux_is_my_hero, what printer do you have? [20:33] also, try to start dbus but it says it cannot find the file/?! [20:33] any mdadm users here? [20:33] brother mfc-5840cn [20:33] ZykoticK9 that's new. I want to turn off response to taps on my laptop touchpad. Is there an easier way? [20:34] !mdadm [20:34] bye all!!! :) [20:34] liamsmithuk: brother mfc-5840cn [20:34] !md [20:34] AzizLight, What about using su- or sudo. Maybe the folder will display if you're a superuser? [20:34] xissburg: Then I have a command that should get you booting, windows and Ubuntu, again. But first some warnings... [20:34] linux_is_my_hero: linuxprinting.org [20:34] linux_is_my_hero, I will look around [20:34] russ, not that i'm personally aware of - it may exist though? Good luck man. [20:34] liamsmithuk: thanks :-) [20:34] VR-Fist yes :) [20:34] omg [20:34] any ideas guys, i've been trying all day with no luck :( [20:34] AzizLight, I'm installing tree right now. I'm gonna play with it. Maybe I'll have an answer for you soon. [20:35] russ, mouse settings has option to turn off taps. gpointing-device-settings gives more options, also disabling it [20:35] xissburg: 1: Make sure that you replace "/dev/sda" in the following directions with the device name for your actual hard drive, and do *not* replace it with something like "/dev/sda1" which is a partition. 2: If this works, then there will be some additional steps needed to make sure this doesn't break again. [20:35] megabraker: the proccessor which i have is AMD Turion 64 Mobile, does it mean its 64-bit? [20:35] sudo echo check > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action returns permission denied... can anyone help? [20:35] VR-Fist: probably [20:36] VR-Fist probably [20:36] xissburg: "sudo apt-get install mbr; sudo install-mbr /dev/sda" [20:36] if you want please give a quick look in my thread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9720703#post9720703 [20:36] nano [20:36] VR-Fist, Yes a Turion 64 is 64-bit capable. [20:36] VR-Fist wait am gona see it [20:36] anyone ..? [20:36] VR-Fist: you can check from a linux with « grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo » [20:36] Jordan_U: How do I know the actual name of the hard drive? [20:36] Jordan_U: I have only one hard drive, but with 3 partitions [20:37] lshw? [20:37] VR-Fist yes it is 64 bit [20:37] erUSUL: I;m resolving an issue of linux not booting in :) [20:37] hi! Is there a way to turn gnome into "resource friendly" mode? I remember to have used it... one that not only disables things like icon zooming, but much more. [20:37] Jordan_U: one has WinXp, the other Win7 and the other just files [20:37] AzizLight, Try "tree -a -P .*" I'm hoping the search tag will focus on hidden directories that way. [20:37] megabraker: so i must have 64-bit installer, right? === Leif is now known as Leif-afk [20:37] VR-Fist: cpu-z for a windows machine ? [20:37] megabraker: or should it work with 32-bit installer also? [20:37] is there a way to open terminal to whatever folder im looking at in gnome, without having to start from the home directory? [20:37] AzizLight: tree -a displays hidden folders for me as well. Are you asking for "hidden folders only" option? [20:38] VR-Fist, you can install 32bit on 64bit machines (recommended actually) [20:38] poisonborz, go to Sytem > Preferences > Appearance and under Desktop Effects choose "None" [20:38] xissburg: If you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" I can tell you, it's almost certainly "/dev/sda" but it can't hurt to double check. [20:38] VR-Fist yes like ZykoticK9 says [20:38] ZykoticK9, megabraker kk [20:38] byt the revese would be a whole mess [20:38] has anyone made a distribution where the kernel is 64 bit and programs are 32 bits? [20:38] i.e. an entirely 32-bit userspace [20:39] thune3: tree -a displays hidden files/folders but only .git/ which is weird... [20:39] AzizLight, Actually .* is focusing on every period in a filename... that doesn't work. Sorry [20:39] EddieV113, not that i am aware of first open in home and cd to it [20:39] VR-Fist, the thing that should make you choose 64-bit over 32-bit is if you have 4GB or more of memory. If so, install 64-bit or if you really need 32-bit for a specific program then install a 32-bit PAE kernel instead. [20:39] I've got three physical hds in my machine. sda sdb and sdc. sda has my ubuntu, sdb is a currently reserved disk which I'm going to put backups on, etc, and sdc is a crappy disk that has a fresh win7 installation for my games. I'm trying to set up grub. http://pastebin.com/0VyZWVMq Does this look correct ? [20:39] EddieV113: this might help: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-gnome-open-terminal-shell-prompt-here/ - it's a couple of years old, but might be relevant [20:39] Random832 but 32 bit dev is poassible , kernel is a thing and apps is a different thing [20:40] Random832, my only question would be "why would anyone want that?" [20:40] Random832, If you install Ubuntu Restricted Extras it will install 32-bit libraries for running 32-bit programs. [20:40] ZykoticK9: 32-bit processes take less ram [20:40] Jordan_U: I don't have mreo cables to connect the other machine to the net so I can't copy paste it...I'll try to type it [20:40] *more [20:40] and there's little perceivable _benefit_ of running 64-bit user processes [20:40] duffy thanks gpointing-device-settings was what I needed. [20:40] Random832: is not common in x86 world. [20:40] Random832, not is it's running on a 64bit kernel though [20:40] but less speed [20:40] Random832: if you do a lot of video andaudeo encoding then 64bit gives a BIG difference [20:41] 32 bit runs better on 64 bit system for some reason > true [20:41] Random832: well in x86 the increased number of registers can composete the fatter binaries pointers words ... [20:41] this depends on the cpu archithecture more than is it 64 or 32 32 could run faster than 64 [20:41] hiexpo, false [20:41] compensate* [20:41] xissburg: If all of the lines start with "/dev/sdaX" (where X is a number) then your hard drive is /dev/sda. [20:41] megabraker: talking specifically about x86-64 and x86-32 [20:42] Random832: is ppc sparc or mips is common to run 64 bit kernel 32 bit binaries becouse they do not have the register issue [20:42] Rnadom832 even in x86-32 family there are whole differences [20:42] hi. since well over a year, a bug plagues me across multiple releases: when the system is under load (heavy disk activity), and I type quickly at the same time, the application's kbd input is messed up. usually the symptom is that a couple of keystrokes come through, then for the next couple of keystrokes every key acts like backspace, then the cycle starts anew. This appears only under load, and affects only the one application I type in. Restartin [20:43] marcusb: are you using a fancy keyboard or is it a beige / black usb brandless thing [20:43] *x86 [20:43] cypher-neo, thune3: forget it, I was just curious. The issue is weird... I need to go for now. Thanks for the help guys [20:43] ActionParsnip: IBM Model M PS/2 [20:44] pure_hate, - so hows the trip going so far ? [20:44] marcusb, wow. You could beat someone to death with that old and rugged keyboard and it would still work fine! [20:44] marcusb: you could try adding a keyboard section in xorg.conf to maybe define the keyboard better [20:44] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/wSXhnmrQ [20:44] headkase314: and if somebody tries to take it away from me, I'll just do that :) [20:45] marcusb, ;) [20:45] ActionParsnip, yup great keyboard [20:46] hiexpo: i have zero opinion on keybpards, as long as it works its fine. all these keyboards with weird function nonesese on it make me laugh [20:47] ActionParsnip, yup [20:47] Can i get some help [20:47] hi can someone help me installing an onda 825up internet key?

Hope it works :), thanks for your time [20:56] anon__, icedtea is not the official Sun Java so the program that is complaining about Java not being installed may be looking for Sun's Java specifically?

You can do that in GParted by right clicking the partition and selecting "manage flags".

[21:13] xissburg: Note which partitions currently have the boot flag set, so you can return to your current configuration later, then try booting with only one partition flagged as bootable. The first time try booting with only the first partition flagged bootable, then try with only the second, then try with only the third. [21:13] anon__, ugh "The current preview of the desktop app only works with premium accounts for now " [21:13] FrozenFire: as I said I'm not too bright tonight, but if you make that file only readable by that user ...

[21:13] VR-Fist so is it solved? [21:13] megabraker: then it restarts, of course, and I can choose Vista and Ubuntu... when i choose ubuntu, I get this: http://bit.ly/cjkiIK [21:13] No duffy, i had but it wasn't really good.. [21:13] guntbert: You should keep yourself dim, because that's a brilliantly simply idea :P [21:13] any suggestions? [21:13] anon__, so WINE it is then with the regular Windows client? [21:14] anon__, well this article is a month old, might be worth a go. [21:14] anon__, just copy paste the commands.... [21:14] xissburg: I'm hoping that one of the partitions will get you to Windows 7's boot menu, which should still have all of the options for selecting Ubuntu and XP. [21:14] VR-Fist when you choose one of them what did you get? [21:14] duffy, into the terminal? [21:14] anon__, or try the wine version, ive heard it works good. [21:14] megabraker: the first one booted to vista (and set time +2 hours lol), the second one gets to system recovery: http://bit.ly/aEtqY9 [21:15] hi all [21:15] using dd to cpy cd to iso then will try. have to cut problem in half. maybe it's cd? [21:15] duffy, i'm confused [21:15] anon__, ok, System > Admin > Software Sources. [21:15] how to get compiz to start automatically with the system [21:15] hey anyone know how to see the model of a motherboard through the cli [21:15] VR-Fist just do a sys recovery to remove the second one [21:15] and install ubntu from a live cd or usb [21:15] in onother partition [21:15] Am I doing something wrong, or is Kompozer slow for *everyone*? [21:15] duffy, i'm there now [21:16] FrozenFire: but maybe dangerous - please think it through [21:16] Slowest program I've encountered on ubuntu yet [21:16] anon__, click Other Software. and ADD and paste deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free [21:16] xissburg: I may be unavailable for the next few hours.

Need to know if I need to find a new code editor. This thing is getting in the way of my productivity. :) [21:16] not to me, Neurotiquette . tho, i preffered using a wine alternative rather than that. that doesn't have all the features common editors have :) [21:16] duffy, done [21:16] and i dont see it in the add to panel menu anywhere either [21:16] Jordan_U: something crazy happenedd...it now booted in WinXP again but it is in the installation screen . . wtf [21:16] where is it? [21:16] ok [21:17] dri245: Not got the memory for good emulation (2gig) I think. I used to use dreamweaver in windows. [21:17] VR-Fist if you run the live cd copy all your files in a usb domino in case of humain error :) [21:17] i've been trying to get my wireless adapter (linksys WPC300N v2) working in ubuntu server with xubuntu-desktop installed. i have a driver installed from the ubuntu forums, but when i "ifconfig" it only says eth0 and lo. any advice in what i should try? [21:17] i used to use dreamweaver too. and i still use it, along with namo web editor. rather than that kompozer. [21:17] Can you use emerald and beryl themes with compiz? [21:17] I need someone else to help me . . [21:17] empewoow: try ifconfig -a [21:17] dri245: Is namo ubuntu? [21:17] xissburg: Likely a recovery partition, just exit that and try changing the flagged partition again. [21:17] see if its listed there [21:17] native? [21:17] I 'm already tired of this. . . [21:17] megabraker: the second one is a recovery disk, so there's no way to have ubuntu on the same drive and same partition as vista whatsoever, ok? [21:17] anon__, close it, reload [21:17] xissburg: Ya get what ya pay for :) [21:17] As they say [21:18] :( [21:18] rigel: ok, tried, same result [21:18] VR-Fist no i think you cant [21:18] Neurotiquette, namo is also windows, you can use it with wine. kompozer doesn't display applets, for example flash applets (swf) [21:18] must be bad cd. iso image created from dd is 289 megs onlyugh [21:18] duffy, W: GPG error: http://repository.spotify.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4F9946354E9CFF4E [21:18] Jordan_U: I set the boot flag in the Win7 partition [21:18] dri245: Actually, I feel like that's what's slowing things down. It keeps fetching stuff from on the web. [21:18] empewoow: then try ls[pci|usb] and see if it shows up there. grep it if you have to [21:18] scottj: you can use emerald themes with compiz, yes [21:18] but am still thinking that ubnuntu is installed as a program and you will maybe find ubuntu.exe not sure lol [21:18] dri245: I'd rather it show me the most basic of layout, and mainly keep it to the source code [21:18] anon__, wish they had a decent PPA.. ok, in terminal gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-keys 4E9CFF4E [21:18] Neurotiquette, kate, geany, bluefish ... [21:18] meaning, i dont know what kind of device it is. if its pci, then use lspci. if its usb, lsusb [21:18] any one who tried wubi here? [21:18] soreau: how? [21:19] anon__, gpg --export 4E9CFF4E |sudo apt-key add - [21:19] rigel: yes its there [21:19] megabraker, i have [21:19] duffy, okay [21:19] guntbert: /30 [21:19] megabraker: MEE [21:19] hi all [21:19] guntbert: darn, sorry. [21:19] Neurotiquette, im not that advanced in kompozer since i uninstalled it the same day :) maybe someone else can tell you more, but i need to see my flash applets i use in html pages and it wasn't desplaying them to me [21:19] scottj: apt-get install emerald ? [21:19] anon__, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install spotify-client-qt spotify-client-gnome-support [21:19] empewoow: so then grep your dmesg for any references to it or errors [21:19] anon__ did ubuntu would be booted as a normal os or it is installed in a virtual machine in windows? [21:19] rigel: sorry i dont understand what u mean? [21:19] anyone know a way to search a directory and its sub directorys for *.jpg files over 100k in size and send (copy) them to a new dir? [21:19] dri245: Thanks for the input :) ALways good to get a response even if it doesn't take you anywhere! hehehe [21:19] megabraker: It trashed my boot loader [21:20] empewoow: it's showing up in your list of devices, but not when you ifconfig -a [21:20] megabraker, vir. machine in windows [21:20] Brontoeee: I'll check those out thanks [21:20] you can remove it as a program from windows [21:20] duffy, it's installing now [21:20] i really dont know what to do in that case because thats never happened to me [21:20] duffy, okay it's done [21:20] rigel: i know, so what now [21:20] anon__, dont ask me if its any good tho .. I dont care for the program [21:20] soreau: I see, thanks [21:20] brontoeee, none is really dreamweaver like btw [21:20] megabraker well the docs say that you dont have to have a partition if u install inside win [21:20] so i would say check dmesg for any errors [21:20] rigel: oh... dmesg? [21:20] xissburg: For the record, I disagree with the many people who have made comments trivializing the problem you're having, it's unnacceptable that wubi caused your computer to fail to boot entirely. [21:20] to check cd: cmp /dev/sr0 ubuntu*386*iso ? [21:20] duffy, how do i run it now? :o [21:21] anon__, be in the menu somewhere. [21:21] VR-Fist you see what anon said it would be installed under windows just search for ubuntu .exe and enjoy it [21:21] so i dist-upgraded to lucid a week or so ago and i dont see my volume control coming up in the toolbar anymore. its not in the "add to panel" dialog either. anyonw know whats up with this? [21:21] Jordan_U: .. [21:21] ok thx anon__ and xissburg [21:21] Jordan_U: true. wha do you propose the solution? [21:21] rigel: i did dmesg, cannot grep the Wireless thing (like i used to with lspci) [21:21] Im stuck here for more than 10 hours because of that [21:21] empewoow: but its showing up in lspci? [21:21] no problem [21:21] duffy, it's still for prem. accounts [21:21] god damn it :( [21:22] anon__, back to wine then lol [21:22] and I'm now afraid that my WinXP is also trashed [21:22] rigel: yes, u want to know what is showing up or? [21:22] duffy, i still haven't solved why it says that [21:22] does anyone know any torrentclients for linux that can run as daemon, has web-ui and functionality like utorrent when comes to labling etc? [21:22] I can't open it, because it's not a trusted software or w/e [21:22] anon__, make it +x then [21:22] is 8.04 more stanble that 10.04? [21:22] duffy, how [21:22] rigel, I think it's "gnome-volume-control-applet" that you need to add to your startup programs. Type it in a console with TAB autocomplete to make sure that is the command - I don't have a Linux box to make sure right now. [21:22] anon__, right click it, properties... [21:23] anubis have you tried deluge? it doesn't have we webui though, not that i know of [21:23] magicianlord: I've made a few suggestions for xissburg to try, so far none have really helped. As for fixing the bug in wubi, I think it has something to do with the package "lupin-support" being removed in cases where it shouldn't be. [21:23] xissburg [21:23] rigel: it says: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

[21:23] Leemp, wget ; tar xzvf [21:24] I used wubi today as a test.. Updated the kernel/grub etc, worked ok [21:24] duffy, it worked [21:24] thanks [21:24] :) [21:24] rigel, if you audio is working (and you haven't removed Pulseaudio) - Add to Panel / Indicator Applet to show Volume [21:24] anon__, you have to get it working in Wine, dont thank me yet [21:24] Hello i have installed LAMP using Tasksel but i'm having issues with PHP not working when i do a on the HTML page it does not appear properly. I have uninstalled PHP5 and libapache2-php5-mod and reinstalled it. [21:24] duffy: been looking at deluge, haven't installed it yet, but from what i can see it has labling only in the gui/gtx version, not in the web-interface :( [21:24] xissburg ji have the solution for you [21:24] i might be wrong though [21:24] ZykoticK9: great thanks [21:24] duffy, it's already installed through wine :p [21:24] anon__, I said "working" ;) [21:25] why would anyone use wine when you can just use vb to run a full windows vm [21:25] magicianlord: I don't know if the problem is common enough to merit that yet, but possibly.

[21:26] megabraker anon__ no ubuntu.exe here [21:26] magicianlord: Not really, grub2 is being installed to the mbr when it shouldn't be but as far as I can tell it's a bug in or around the lupin-support package.

[21:35] Kala, theres not much more to describe, I plug it in it doesnt work. I tried compiling and installing drivers I found but it didnt work [21:36] is it mobile broadland or whatever? [21:36] i removed the kernel image through synaptic, how can i recover it? [21:36] huh? [21:36] ah nevermind [21:37] kala, if you have a wireless router can you update the firmware directly on the device through wireless bypassing the need for Linux/PC software? [21:37] hey there, could anyone recommend me a good app to unerase files from a hard drive? [21:37] no [21:37] kala, ok, just a stab in the dark - didn't know myself! [21:37] no worries [21:37] Can you resize a Windows parition during installation? Wikipedia says: "Parted has some limitations. For example, it cannot resize NTFS partitions without external tools, such as the ntfsprogs package.". And if so, will files that are written on the part that is to be erased be moved first? [21:38] Glowball, worked for me. [21:38] Glowball, you should defragment the Windows volume in Windows before letting GParted touch the drive. [21:38] I've got three physical hds in my machine. sda sdb and sdc. sda has my ubuntu, sdb is a currently reserved disk which I'm going to put backups on, etc, and sdc is a crappy disk that has a fresh win7 installation for my games. I'm trying to set up grub. http://pastebin.com/sJfjC7QX Does this look correct ? (I missed any previous answers - my kid started crying :( ) [21:39] headkase314: Problem is it's some file of the filesystem, it can't be moved while mounted. If the installer can't handle it, it can become a quite shitty task... [21:39] !recover | sadiel It is a *really* tough job to retrieve deleted files if not impossible but here is some information [21:39] sadiel It is a *really* tough job to retrieve deleted files if not impossible but here is some information: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3unde [21:40] xissburg: Don't try testdisk untill you've at least tried booting from that last partition. [21:40] Glowball, defragmenting lessens the work GParted has to do making it more reliable - once you are booted on the live cd it can move files that are unmovable when Windows is running. Thats the theory anyway.\ [21:40] anon__ you alive? :)) [21:40] thanks a lot ocean! [21:40] i just install MM 10.10 and updated the drivers and install a braodcom wireless driver on the system ... it says my wireless is still disabled .. any ideas /. [21:40] william : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion. [21:40] Milligan, just use update-grub , it will add the entry for you [21:41] sadiel: I hope it works out for you ... [21:41] xissburg: I'm confident that you are close to having a fully bootable system, so you don't want to do anything that might actually break other things. [21:41] Jordan_U: I'll try [21:41] i was removing some old kernel through synaptic....but i think i removed what shoudnt be removed.....and nnow when grub starts, it doesnt show ubuntu, only the other system and memtest..........help?? [21:41] headkase314: Yes, it's completely defragmented, except for those files. But if Wikipedia says GNU Parted can't handle it properly (and if Wikipedia is right about that..), I'm about to screw the Windows install. === ^peanut^ is now known as hiku [21:41] Glowball, wiki is wrong. [21:42] headkase314: Other option would be to use a live cd and install the ntfsprogs package from there? [21:42] Hi everyone, is it possible to permanently change your text color in XChat, so for instance one could always type in purple? [21:42] Glowball, Using the 10.04 LiveCD I successfully resized a Windows Vista partition. I believe it is safe, but don't trust me see what everyone else says here too. [21:42] Glowball, rather the 10.04 installer resized it for me.. [21:42] Glowball, the installer can handle it fine. Just make backups before you do...thats always a good idea regardless [21:43] Chrisknyfe, it would only be you that sees the purple text - but there are colour options in Xchat [21:43] duffy, didn't find the windows installation. found all the ubuntu kernels though. [21:43] Glowball: standard recommendation is to back up important files before any resize operation. Resize operation usually go fine, by you should take precautions assuming that they might not. [21:44] Zykotik9: understood, but I want others to be able to see the text color as well. I have seen several other users do this already, however they're using a different client. [21:44] All important files are backed up. But it's my parent's pc, they don't have a Windows key anymore, and they want to try out Ubuntu with the possibility to return to their well known Windows before they make the final step [21:44] Jordan_U: it says MBR FA: [21:44] stuck there [21:44] !tab > Chrisknyfe [21:44] Chrisknyfe, please see my private message [21:44] So if the Windows install is screwed and they don't like Ubuntu, they're kinda fucked :) [21:44] Milligan, well this is mine http://pastebin.org/483708 [21:45] !language | Glowball [21:45] Glowball: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:45] 1language [21:45] IdleOne: Oh, sorry :) [21:45] Glowball, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC that has your Windows Product Key on it - that is a requirement to be legal. Besides that you need restore media - if none came with the computer there is usually an option somewhere in Window's menus to create it. [21:45] Chrisknyfe, sorry i'm not aware of IRC supporting colours... good luck. === FunnyLookinHat_ is now known as FunnyLookinHat [21:46] duffy, do you know if I need the mapping stuff? Since windows is on a different harddrive, and expects to be the first hd ? [21:46] ZykoticK9, you can right click the IRC input box and insert a color code from there, like I'm doing with this text. [21:47] Chrisknyfe, but I don't see any colour other then RED which is a client side colour [21:47] headkase314: It's custom made. Some friend of theirs installed Windows on it (I don't even think it's a legal version at all, actually..), so no Windows key. It's a very old pc, too. [21:47] Ah, apologies. Here is the text color. [21:47] please help me [21:47] Chrisknyfe, fail i'm affraid - it's white [21:47] Milligan, grub handles it.. so no [21:48] Hey folks [21:48] Chrisknyfe, perhaps Xchat doesn't support this feature? [21:48] Glowball, ok I can't help you there then and I suggest you become legal either through properly licensing Windows or completely erasing the hard disk and going full Ubuntu. [21:48] ZykoticK9, that's probably true. I'll have to find another client then :( [21:48] is there anyone around with RAID experience? jLong term data preservation experienced? [21:48] Chrisknyfe, i mean - Xchat clients won't see the colours... [21:49] is there anyone reading me? [21:49] gabriel, yes [21:49] !ask | gabriel [21:49] gabriel: 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. :-) [21:49] gabriel: ask away [21:49] i was removing some old kernel through synaptic....but i think i removed what shoudnt be removed.....and nnow when grub starts, it doesnt show ubuntu, only the other system and memtest..........help?? [21:49] headkase314: I understand. But it's a 6 year old pc, they will buy a new pc soon, probably with a legal key (if they aren't convinced by Ubuntu :) ). It's that friend of theirs who did it. They didn't know anything about computers, and I was too young :P [21:50] gabriel, boot a LiveCD, chroot and try grub-update. I'll send !grub2 [21:50] !grub2 | gabriel [21:50] gabriel: 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 [21:50] gabriel, if you removed all kernels, try installing the current kernel while in chroot environment [21:51] Glowball, I know - but now your in this situation! Owning any retail copy of Windows is always a good step as you can move that copy around to different machines as long as it's only installed on one at a time. OEM versions that come with new machines you can't do that with. [21:51] how do i do it?? [21:51] gabriel, sorry it's "update-grub" BTW [21:52] hey guys, my network adapter (WPC300N) is showing in lspci, but not in iwconfig! what is wrong? [21:52] gabriel, as ZykoticK9 said, boot a livecd, chroot and install the kernel. [21:53] empewoow, wireless adapter ? it should be in /dev/wlan [21:53] empewoow, if not the driver does not detect it correctly [21:53] Barnabas: how can i check? [21:53] i dont understand.......i boot from the live cd and i open a terminal window........then should i run chroot or update-grub? [21:53] ls /dev/wlan* [21:53] hey, having trouble with growing log files, seems like its radeon driver who is the troublemaker, dmesg is hammering *ERROR* radeon_cp_reset called without lock held, .. its like 20gigg every 8 hours [21:53] xissburg_u: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [21:53] gabriel, read the !grub2 rescue instructions [21:53] I am trying to configure Tor and I am doing fine so far, following the instructions. But now Tor told me to replace a .conf file for Polipo and I can't do it because the folder and file permissions say that I am not the owner. How can I replace this file? [21:53] Barnabas: No such file or directory [21:54] ubunt1, if it's a system file you need to use "sudo" or "gksu" for the editing/replacing [21:54] empewoow, could you pastebin the exact output of lspci - perhaps you need to get a driver from 3 party [21:54] !grub2 [21:54] 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 [21:54] How do I use that? [21:55] empewoow, the ones producing the chipset for the wlan [21:55] Barnabas: it says: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [21:55] Barnabas: dunno what i should pastebin, but is that what u mean? [21:55] empewoow, have you updated using a wired connection then checked System / Admin / Hardware Drivers? [21:55] gabriel: You're problem isn't really with grub, if you chroot in and "sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic" then the current kernel will be installed and added to the grub menu. [21:56] how can i read the !grub rescue instructions? [21:56] ZykoticK9: ye it gets a modem there, but not my wireless adapter [21:56] empewoow, ok - best of luck man. [21:56] hey guise I'm running ubuntu netbook remix on a Lenovo s10-3 netbook. Everything is just is just peachy but I can't use the built in controls to manage the brightness. Is there any way I can work this out? Can I get control of the monitor brightness at least via command line? [21:56] empewoow, you need to add the driver manually as decribed here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=549816 [21:56] How do I use sudo to replace a system file with a new one? [21:56] empewoow, you need to do this every time the kernel upgrades [21:56] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chroot [21:56] chroot: missing operand [21:56] Barnabas: i tried this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=539208 [21:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LXC#User space tools (lxc) [21:57] empewoow, or untill linux get support for your NIC [21:57] gabriel, you need to read the instructions to properly chroot!

[23:06] Kurusu: i would guess that the umask sets what the read permissions are as well, but i don't know for sure [23:07] MoMo: you can configure it in /etc/network/interfaces [23:07] empewoow, the problem is with DHCP I belive - it is the system that assigns you a dynamic IP address on your home network [23:07] Does anyone have software recommendations to manage Cell Phones? Razor v3 type!:-D [23:07] Barnabas: ah ive had that problem with the wired network too [23:07] and how do I get this to... VLC/Totem/Mplayer? [23:07] i had to set ip manually [23:07] MoMo: its DE independant and doesn't need a gui app [23:07] because it got a wrong one [23:07] Barnabas: do u think that's the same problem now? === charmer is now known as dangerousdave [23:07] ps -ef shows uid as a number, i remember this being the account name b4 - what am i missing? [23:07] empewoow, lets just verify that [23:08] in a terminal [23:08] let me try the same ip as i did in wired [23:08] try to do a ifconfig -a [23:08] ye it worked with the gui [23:08] wait :D [23:08] and check to see if there is a network address [23:08] geoffmcc: cat /etc/passwd | grep UID replace UID with the number [23:08] tensorpudding: Oh well, thanks for your help [23:08] grumbly, I'm pretty sure those three are built on top of gstreamer so the properties would affect them all. Basically, find something that triggers the choppiness, do it, change gstreamer-properties settings, close media player, open media player, try choppiness inducer again, repeat. [23:09] ActionParsnip- thank u [23:09] empewoow, inet addr: under the wlan entry === RudyValencia- is now known as RudyValencia [23:09] headkase314: the only one that's being choppy is VLC though... and not always, just sometimes. [23:09] Barnabas: no there is not [23:09] detrix42: xissburg has a wubi install and needed to restore the Windows bootlooder. how would update grub help? needs the equivalent for windows bootloader i think. [23:10] guys i got to boot into WinXP [23:10] grumbly: what video chip? [23:10] sad newds [23:10] none of the options made it choppy [23:10] grumbly, if you can find something that consistently causes choppiness then you can use that as a test to see if different settings make it happen/not happen. [23:10] ActionParsnip: not sure... i think Intel somthing [23:10] SAD NEWS for me [23:10] xissburg: you can restore windows 7 to the bootloader using EasyBCD [23:10] my other partitions disappeared [23:10] grumbly: try using mplayer [23:11] xissburg: disappeared how? [23:11] nUboon2Age: something went wrong in the install, something trashed the MBR, and I know that update-grub will update the MBR. [23:11] tensorpudding: I dont seem them in My Computer [23:11] as they should be there [23:11] ActionParsnip: I am having problems with the volume control while using Mplayer in general... [23:11] xissburg: not even the windows 7 one? [23:11] yea [23:11] Barnabas: hmm should i edit it in /etc/network/interfaces ?? [23:11] ActionParsnip: it likes to controll system volume [23:11] xissburg: ...you didn't INSTALL windows xp did you/ [23:11] nUboon2Age: but booting off the pendrive will add entries to the boot list, but it should detect windows and add it [23:12] tensorpudding: no it was installed [23:12] grumbly: you may need some extra options in xorg.conf. I use a crappy intel thing in this laptop. Here's mine. Makes thins a bit smoother: http://pastebin.com/umerb8Du [23:12] xissburg: you installed it? [23:12] tensorpudding: it was already installed [23:12] xissburg: okay [23:12] megabraker suggested me to use testdisk to recover the boot [23:12] it trashed my partitions [23:13] ActionParsnip: I seem not to have an Xorg.conf in 10.04... But in 9.10 i had these options. [23:13] and didnt help with anything [23:13] UBBBBUUUUNNNNNTUUUUUUU!!!!!!1 [23:13] detrix42: oh, okay. beyond my knowledge, so if i understand that will give xissburg access to windows off the pen drive, which is good, but what about restoreing the windows bootloader (the orig. problem). [23:13] xissburg: do you know exactly what it did? [23:13] not :x [23:13] \\\\\\8no [23:13] I am having random freezing issue when installing 10.04 64 bit only on my hp dv6 1045ee laptop. [23:13] grumbly: lucid doesn't ship with one but you can make one and it will be used [23:14] grumbly, the xorg.conf file may not be there as it is depreciated but you can still create it and put options into it. [23:14] xissburg: i doubt the partions are changed if all you did was do a wubi install of ubuntu. [23:14] xissburg: check the disk manager [23:14] xissburg: it's in the control panel [23:14] ActionParsnip: ugh... I dislike creating xorg.conf by hand... sooooooo frustrationing. [23:14] tensorpudding: but now in GParted it shows only this WinXp partition and another one which it says is is unnalocated [23:14] BALL!!! [23:14] nUboon2Age: it is my understanding that grub will boot to windows. windows does not need a boot loader. grub is the boot loader. [23:14] xissburg: how big is the windows xp partition? [23:14] @ headkase: r u a bot? [23:15] tensorpudding: my HDD is 320GB, the xp part is 80GB [23:15] sampleee, I'm a sixth generation neural-network positronic bot. The best in class. [23:15] I had two other ones, one with 7 and other with files [23:15] xissburg: and the rest is unallocated? [23:15] detrix42: okay but wubi doesn't use grub for the bootloader, it uses windows boot loader and just inserts one entry. [23:15] GParted says it is unnallcated the part where was 7 and files, tensorpudding [23:15] headkase314, ActionParsnip: its a pain in the axe and i've been having no other issues- NONE... just VLC and it being a little business end [23:16] grumbly: well, i just gave you the code you need, just open the file and paste the text, how is that frustrating [23:16] nUboon2Age: ahhhh. ok, then I am incorrect. I have not played with wubi. sorry. [23:16] xissburg: what exactly did you do with the testdisk? [23:16] Barnabas: so im not getting the right ip address, should i edit it manually in /etc/network/interfaces ? [23:16] ActionParsnip: I can just use what you gave and forego the rest of the conf info? [23:16] grumbly: vlc is still only compiled for single core as far as I know, thats why I suggest mplayer [23:16] sampleee, did you check to see if your Ubuntu firewall is blocking Samba ports? [23:17] grumbly: thats the ONLY code you need. that is ALL I have in my xorg.conf [23:17] sampleee, (X)ubuntu [23:17] ActionParsnip, thanks ... what about having it authenticate prior to displaying a login screen. [23:17] empewoow, could you paste the contents of that file? [23:17] Oh! [23:17] yes sure [23:17] grumbly: so why is it frustrating, when you have to exert zero effort? [23:17] anyone here feel like helping with some CentOS questions? i know this is an Ubuntu chan, but i cant find others elsewhere :/ [23:17] ActionParsnip: AH!! i didnt realize [23:17] tensorpudding: megabraker told me to do some stuff...i dont remember exactly but the idea was to set one of the partitions as bootable because they were not [23:17] hahah... ActionParsnip thanks [23:17] Hi folks, I've been having trouble with an install of Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop i386. Fixed the blinking-cursor problems, but now the install gets to 98% and freezes - no hard disk or optical drive activity, and both the keyboard and mouse become totally nonresponsive. Second time it's done it whilst trying to install (last time was 95%), and the md5sum on the ISO checks out ok -- any ideas? === maciek_ is now known as Guest12826 [23:18] xissburg: when you booted into xp, you said that it was having to do some stuff [23:18] awright_: Try #centos. [23:18] no funny PCI cards or anything , and disc verified as ok [23:18] xissburg: what did it say it was doing? [23:18] awright_: Or if they cannot help you then ##linux is a generic channel. [23:18] io: thx will try [23:18] xissburg: how were you booting into xp, if grub was producing errors [23:18] tensorpudding: installing :o [23:18] hello.. [23:18] hello, when i updated thunderbid to the 3.2 version i lost the "inbox folder", the folder where i used to read all the new msgs form me different accounts, how can i get it back? [23:19] tensorpudding: after doing some stuff in live ububtu it restored the MBR [23:19] hello [23:19] :) [23:19] !hi | Guest12826 [23:19] Guest12826: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [23:19] Barnabas: i now see that there are 2 new connections... ath0 (that one is showing up @ the wifi radar and stuff) and a wifi000 one === FunnyLookinHat_ is now known as FunnyLookinHat [23:19] Barnabas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/478110 [23:19] kurwa mać [23:19] xissburg: is the xp partition at the front of the disk? [23:19] bye [23:20] grumbly: you'll need to restart X after editting the file === _hiku_ is now known as hiku [23:20] ActionParsnip: just as a quick refresh... Xorg.conf goes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf right? [23:20] xissburg: how did you boot into xp? [23:20] (not sure why I [23:20] yep, you will get write access with: ksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:20] io: i tried ##linux but it forces me into ##linux-overflow or some weird crap. [23:21] tensorpudding: the MBR was fxed [23:21] ActionParsnip: thanks... I dont use KDE so, i'm pretty sure ksudo will fail :) [23:21] xissburg: the MBR was fixed by what, and why was there no option to boot into Windows 7? [23:22] grumbly: this is #ubuntu so I assume gnome [23:22] ksudo... I been using gksu... [23:22] xissburg: it sounds to me, without understanding entirely what you did, that either xp or the testdisk obliterated your other partitions, but why i do not know [23:23] Barnabas: any ideas? [23:24] !register | awright_ [23:24] awright_: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [23:24] Hi, I am experiencing rather strange behavior. Even though my /etc/hosts clearly states that localhost is 127.0.0.1, neither ping, nor PgSQL are able to resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1. What could have happened? Thanks a lot [23:24] tensorpudding: I did so many so many stuff that I can rememer... [23:24] Hi, after the new flash update that came out a few days ago or something like that the sound is a bit screechy in youtube on 360p but not above, anyone knows why? [23:24] hi I am new to Ubuntu and am trying to delete some files I recovered with photo rec can any one help me get them off my desktop [23:24] xissburg: it is probable that something broke the partition table and now it does not know about your other partitions; i blame xp most likely, since is said it was "installing" [23:25] huh.... lspci doesn't say what chip... just Mobile 4 series [23:25] empewoow, yes I think the system expects the wlan to be named /dev/wlan0 [23:25] weak [23:25] xissburg: it might be possible to restore them, i do not know [23:25] not /dev/wifi0 [23:25] empewoow, could you check that in /dev? [23:26] awright_: Some channels require clients to register their nickname before being able to join, unfortunetly. More support is in #freenode in regards to registering a nickname. [23:26] xissburg: in my experience, xp will take liberties with overwriting other partitions on the disk during the install if it is not the first partition on the disk [23:26] Barnabas: ok! wait [23:26] tensorpudding: IM SURE test disk trashed it [23:26] because] [23:26] io: thx [23:27] Barnabas: there is no wlan0 in dev [23:27] tensorpudding: before running testdisk (in live ubuntu) GParted showed the 3 partitions, right after running it the other two were merged and marked as unnallocated [23:27] io, was there a specific reason this channel changed to registered nicks? The other day I didn't have to register but today I did, and did. [23:28] Barnabas: but in Wicd Network Manager preferences it is set: Wireless interface: ath0 [23:28] I just innocently followed megabraker instructions [23:28] Barnabas: so that should be good? [23:28] Ok, so Totem won't play playlists and has decided to show subtitles by default even though it is set not to.... Mplayer has problems with some videos and likes to control the whole system sound volume... and VLC has problems with some videos and gets choppy when i go from full screen to windowed, and back to full... [23:28] mintypu: they have lock symbols on them? In properties,permissions-tab is your user the owner? [23:28] xissburg: what were megabraker's instructions? [23:28] Hi [23:28] no it is not [23:28] xissburg: the most likely way that you can get those partitions back is by using testdisk again [23:28] tensorpudding: analyse...then write...I dont remember exactly [23:28] empewoow, I cant use wicd here - it will deinstall the regular network manager in ubuntu (gnome) [23:28] how do i become the owner [23:28] tensorpudding: lol [23:29] xissburg: but i don't know the least thing about how testdisk works [23:29] Barnabas: ok i c [23:29] mplayer and vlc have DIFFERENT problems with videos... generally if it wont play in vlc, it will in mplayer and vice versa... [23:29] empewoow, what is the content of your /etc/network/interfaces? [23:29] guhhhhhhhhhhhh.... this is the exact same issue I had on my mac. choppy vlc or strange volume on mplayer. neither one are ok with me. [23:30] i have iface eth0 inet static added there [23:30] but no ath0 and no wlan000 [23:30] i'd go with totem, except it wont play the playlists- and this is pretty recent. [23:30] mintypu: you would have to "chown mintypu:mintypu files", but if you are just removing the files then using "sudo rm -i file" after cd'ing to desktop would be easier. You need to be careful not to delete the wrong thing. [23:30] headkase314: This channel doesn't only allow registered clients (maybe it did temporarily earlier). Although if more than 5 clients join in 10 seconds they get forwarded to #ubuntu-unregged (which may confuse you). [23:30] Barnabas: i also have some static ip configured there because before my wired network was not getting the right ip from dhcp [23:30] Barnabas, you can use wicd, so it will remove network-manager, but you can install it again [23:30] xissburg: try booting into the pendrive again, and run testdisk [23:31] duffy, I know [23:31] Barnabas: should i add ath0 in this file? [23:31] empewoow, yes try to add ath0 auto [23:31] and restart the interface [23:31] io, thanks for the information! I don't think I've been forwarded to unregged yet but now I know to consider that if I'm in a confusing channel ;) Thanks again. [23:31] I will try it and see [23:32] empewoow, [23:32] <_nobody_> test [23:32] sudo ifconfig ath0 down [23:32] Hello, can anyone help me to mount an LVM volume that has abadsuperblock in ubuntu just to backup? [23:32] sudo ifconfig ath0 up [23:32] mintypu: the chown would need to be done with sudo if you went that direction [23:32] _nobody_: hi [23:32] xissburg: tensorpudding: if everything xissburg did was based on this channel we could look at the log and figure out the steps taken so far. === Zeike is now known as brandonj [23:33] Is this channel logged? [23:33] tensorpudding: yes [23:33] !logs | tensorpudding [23:33] tensorpudding: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [23:33] Barnabas: no progression, still bad password [23:33] also in iwconfig no ip there [23:34] empewoow, thats the problem [23:34] empewoow, not the pw [23:34] oh ok [23:34] add ip manually? just like wired/ [23:34] that was the problem with wired.. [23:34] kcaddon: lol [23:36] Barnabas: no luck [23:36] is there a way to easily make bullets and lists in Tomboy ? [23:36] I lost count the times Ive seen network-manager with wrong password problems.. tsk. === pieter_ is now known as plaeremans [23:36] It seems to me that megabraker and xissburg discussed the relevant bits in private chat [23:37] Is there a USB device that will allow TV Out that works with Ubuntu/Linux? [23:37] empewoow, what encryption are you using [23:38] duffy: wpa1 [23:38] Hello, can anyone help me to mount an LVM volume that has abadsuperblock in ubuntu just to backup? [23:38] empewoow, aparantley the developers of the mad wifi drivers chose to name their device /dev/ath0 in place of the standard /etc/wlan0 [23:38] My total memory was 4 gb. it was increased to 8 gb and then I got filesystem errors. Such a change like that, could cause it? [23:38] Barnabas: i know [23:38] cguerrero: no I can't, but maybe this will be useful [23:38] Barnabas: u think that is the problem? [23:38] empewoow, yes [23:38] !lvm | cguerrero [23:38] cguerrero: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [23:38] thx [23:38] and duffy u two? [23:39] xissburg: was the first thing you asked about uninstalling/purging a program and actionparsnip gave you a sudo apt-get purge? [23:39] too* [23:39] cguerrero: ok np good luck [23:39] ubuntu is messing with my postfix config, how can I tell it, to not touch certain config files under no circumstances? [23:39] empewoow, wpa2. but you`ll need a whole lotta wpa options in interfaces.. I have mine setup ok, but I suggest wicd. [23:40] tensorpudding: pudding yes it was in private chat [23:40] anyone any ideas on a freezing ubuntu install? md5sum was ok for the ISO, cd check was fine, but freezes everything (incl. keyboard and mouse) at 98% [23:40] and dammit...im so stupid I closed the tab :( [23:41] duffy: im using wpa1, and wicd [23:42] hello everyone [23:42] 'lo camila [23:42] xissburg: well, reboot into live ubuntu and run testdisk [23:42] empewoow, [23:42] uh [23:42] yes Barnabas [23:43] try to add two lines to your /etc/network/interfaces [23:43] empewoow, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 pretty much all you need to know about setting up interfaces [23:43] anybody here know how to install a philips webcam?

When I try to run it as the daemon from /etc/init.d/ it fails. anybody in here have a similar experience? [23:47] xissburg: it says "To create log files by default for all your activities, check Log this view." [23:48] glick: what do you mean by "where does it live?" [23:48] What is a good twitter client for Ubuntu like a tweetdeck ? [23:48] glick: there is the python-django package [23:49] A|pHa: gwibber supports twitter [23:49] i got it [23:49] thanks [23:49] thanks [23:49] One more question on Vmware [23:49] hello all!

Is there a simple way to see which packages are already installed using the terminal? Like with apt-get or something.

[23:59] tensorpudding: they' re all fine [23:59] all my files are there [23:59] xissburg: these three partitions correspond to the three partitions you had before this debacle?
