[00:00] glassresistor, heh [00:00] Rabbitbunny: are you trying to configure a static ip? [00:00] raven: you don't your router & isp assign your ips, unless you meant local [00:00] raven: ^ [00:00] Rabbitbunny: sorry [00:00] marco right [00:00] ger channel? [00:00] raven: you're talking about your /internal/ ip, right? [00:00] maco right [00:00] [thor]: nm its actually just byobu-conf [00:00] raven: /etc/network/interfaces is where you can setup a static ip [00:01] raven: there's a man page with the syntax; man 5 interfaces [00:01] raven: would tell more, but ive never actually done static, so.... have to refer you to the manpage [00:01] <[thor]> glassresistor: nice.. i just recently found the joys of byobu hehe.. i spent 20mins or so figuring out what all the readouts were.. and trying to memorize their color combos.. [00:01] /manual/windoews [00:02] aeon-ltd, trism, AArgh! It was showing in System>Preferences>Appearances all along. I just didn't recognize it from the thumbnail. [00:02] * dsnyders hangs his head in shame. [00:02] I have Ubuntu installed on a separate partition on my macbook. Is it odd that they BOTH show up in my routers dhcp client list even though I booted in Ubuntu? [00:02] glassresistor, which one is right input method? "libstatnet" or "/proc/net/dev", both of them show network-card and some bandwith :S [00:02] [thor]: spent some time making a pretty sweet purple color combo, b4 lucid came up still haven't updated my laptop [00:03] hello everyone. Which is the file i need to edit in order to open a shared folder in a windows pc? TIA! [00:03] So_Confused: Routers often cache DHCP leases, sometimes for days or weeks after the machine in question has disconnected. [00:03] cesc, you still there and making any headway? I'm now home on my own machine! hooray! ;) [00:03] nimbiotics: Places>Connec to serve or Places>Network>windows network [00:04] Quaxir: i don't have libstatnet but i think it probably just polls that file so it doesn't matter [00:04] ```````````` [00:04] Jordan_U: cool beans.... ty [00:04] glassresistor, ookey.. I'll stick with "/proc/net/dev" thingy then [00:04] So_Confused: You're welcome. [00:04] anythink a faster netbook 1.6atom with 2gigs can reasonbly handle medium sized postgres databases? [00:05] anyone** [00:05] hi all. when i try to play youtube video on totem it gives me this: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. [00:05] anyone know what this is about? [00:05] glassresistor: a netbook as DB server ??? [00:05] adi11, is it a downloaded .flv file? [00:05] headkase314 no I just gave up for now... I switched off that pc which makes a lot of noise... and just woking on my ubuntu 10.04 right now. I'll continue tomorrow. [00:05] erUSUL: not as a server, as a dev box [00:05] its a youtube video trogh totem media player [00:06] adi11: Is there another user who recently was watching a youtube video? If you're grabbing the video from /tmp you may have grabbed another user's file. [00:06] cesc, good luck then. I hope someone can help you soon! [00:06] its not a downloaded file in pc [00:06] erUSUL: a few days ago i was instructed to modify a file so i could access this share, just cant rememeber which one it is, cause none of the other methods have worked for me [00:06] erUSUL: so one user, i could have the db run on server at home but i don [00:06] adi11: You're using the youtube browsing plugin? [00:06] 't wanna kill my offices bandwidth for data dumps and the like [00:06] adi11, you are trying to play a video directly from the youtube website? [00:06] nimbiotics: maybe was /etc/fstab ? to mount a windows share on boot ? [00:06] no [00:06] headkase314, I think is a matter of perseverance. Sooner or later I'll find the solution. [00:07] erUSUL: thats is, thatnks! [00:07] erUSUL, are you an op or staff for #ubuntu? [00:07] totem media player has a plugin to play youtube video through totem [00:07] opij: no [00:07] cesc, yes - it will probably be you come online sometime and by chance there will be someone who knows the exact method! So, don't give up! [00:07] its like streaming video from youtube with ttem [00:07] how to write a vbox vdi image to a real hdd? [00:07] totem [00:08] but it gives me thi: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file.

[00:08] raven: use quemu-imag to convert to raw image? then dd to final destination ( a partition ) ? sunno if it would work [00:09] is it just me who have this? [00:09] dunno* [00:09] adi11, youtube recently had a change in the web-pages that broke downloading programs. Do you know if your totem received an update recently specifically for that issue? [00:09] adi11: It looks like a bug, youtube probably changed their URLs a bit recently breaking the plugin. [00:09] cesc, ;) :) [00:09] adi11: No, I just tried it and it's happening to me also (was working for me recently, in 10.04) [00:09] so every body cant watch youtube video through totem? or its just me? [00:10] is there a workaround [00:10] shockwave flash 10.1 r82 works fine in Firefox [00:10] adi11: i got the same error. Jordan_U is probably right [00:11] My server uses DHCP to get an IP but it's not taking it properly. [00:11] i dont want to play youyube through FF cause the cpu goes crazy [00:11] i got a network problem, the network-manager wont find any network cards, and wicd wont start anymore, i tried to configure my PC with wlan, the connection is still over cable. any ideas?

Any ideas on how to fix this? [00:24] ty [00:24] anubis: "sudo service --status-all" may be more handy [00:25] carlosgaldino: According to their site they offer free DNS, so wherever you are connecting to the internet probably uses them for DNS. [00:25] and then sudo kill service? [00:25] carlosgaldino: You can use openDNS instead.

However when I try to select the games main package within APTonCD in order to make a reporisitory CD of it, it doesnt select all the dependencies.

[00:48] gbally: run in terminal --> « find ~/ -name '*.deb' -print » [00:48] it downloaded and I can't run it in the gui. I tried clicking in firefox open with gdebi but it doesnt work [00:48] zagabar: it may be using what ever the EDITOR variable is set to [00:48] zagabar: check your VISUAL or EDITOR env variables [00:48] gbally: < Muelli> gbally: press Ctrl+Y in firefox to bring the download widget up, then rightclick your download and "open folder". [00:48] preferences - i stated desktop, but its not there [00:49] Dr_Willis, erUSUL: I just set the EDITOR variable to "vi". No change. [00:49] and ober7, i've done that. everytime i select open location, it asks with what file..instead of showing me the location [00:49] zagabar: also the alternative for editor « sudo update-alternatives --config editor » [00:49] gbally, redownload it and take note of where it's going - try to put it in ~/Downloads [00:49] says the file system is busy and wont erase [00:50] gbally, under Edit > Preferences in Firefox you can set the download location or make it ask you for every download. [00:50] <_Tinman_> I'm on the ubuntu 10.04 live cd, mounted a remote smb share and can access it from the current user - but can't access the share from root account... any idea?!

[00:50] erUSUL: Yeye, that solved it. Thanks. Any idea on how it could have magically changed to joe? [00:51] Kingston DT 101 II: PENDRIVE is what its cALLED [00:51] zagabar: during joe installation i guess. it may have precedence over vi and nano [00:51] good evening all === HexBoot is now known as Boot [00:51] gbally, do you have your desktop icons hidden? If so they won't show although it will still be in Places > Desktop [00:51] erUSUL: I don't ever recall installing joe. [00:51] <_Tinman_> the reason I need access from root, is because I try to clone the hdd to the remote share, i.e., dd if=/dev/sda of=/remote/smb/share/clone.img [00:52] well i see 3 files there, so it should not be hidden [00:52] zagabar: well; someone did. i do not think is a requeriment of any other package [00:52] <_Tinman_> dd seems to need root to access /dev/sda [00:52] _Tinman_: makes sense [00:52] why does it ask me what file i want to use when i select Open File Location in the firefox downloader [00:53] gbally, edit firefox preferences so it asks you where to download it then save to /home/yourUserName/Downloads and then when the download is complete go to Places > Downloads [00:53] _Tinman_: since itd be reading bits of files that belong to everybody [00:53] <_Tinman_> maci, indeed, the problem is that root can't access the remote smb share [00:53] <_Tinman_> maco* [00:53] _Tinman_: manually mount the remote share as root rather than using the normal user's gui way of mounting [00:53] gbally, if you are opening it it will be stored in /tmp and if you close firefox before installing in gdebi then gdebi will lose the file because firefox will clear its /tmp files on exit [00:54] _Tinman_: on the same computer? [00:54] anyone know how to umount swap or keep if from being mounted by the livecd? [00:54] aaah headkase you may have a point [00:55] glassresistor: swappoff -a [00:55] gbally, try again and post results ;) [00:55] <_Tinman_> sacarlson, yes [00:55] good evening all [00:55] using alacarte, how can I add a menu entry for "ssh -l karen domain.com" .

[00:56] Karen_m: gnome-terminal -e "ssh -l karen@domain.com" [00:56] shall do [00:56] glassresistor: in a terminal [00:56] erUSUL, maybe we have different keyboard layouts and CTRL+D works differently from each other... damn it.. now I don't know how to exit to shell promt.

I am the only root and I have never heard of the joe editor before so I can't have installed it if it is not a requirement. :S [00:57] glassresistor: you might need sudo [00:57] cesc: crtl + c ? [00:57] aeon-ltd, , thank you [00:57] erUSUL, no it doesn't work [00:58] Karen_m: your welcome [00:58] cesc: crtl + d is universalyy EOF end of file in many unix commands [00:58] aeon-ltd: thanks ill try it [00:59] erUSUL, so I don't know what's going on here. [00:59] cesc: make sure that you don't have caps-lock on. [00:59] how do i go in terminal as root? [00:59] cesc: neither do I... [00:59] !rootshell | rhonda_ [00:59] rhonda_: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [01:00] Pici, no caps-lock is off === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [01:00] cesc: Did you use any quotes in your command? perhaps its a waiting for a close quote. [01:01] Pici, no I did not use any quotes at all [01:02] gbally, you still here? [01:03] erUSUL, Pici here http://paste.ubuntu.com/478582/ you can see what I typed so far.... [01:03] but I'm unable to exit to shell promt [01:03] ctrl-d [01:04] it doesn't work for me prince_jammys [01:04] cesc, don't you want to say "sudo shutdown at now +2..." [01:04] cesc: are you using screen or some other software that could capture the keys ? [01:05] <_Tinman_> thanks all! problem solved :-) [01:05] <_Tinman_> night [01:05] erUSUL, no that i'm aware of. [01:05] Hi dont know if any one help i have been using aircrack for a while now with an alfa but im trying to get my built in wirless card to work does any one know a page i can goto ive look every were and nothing seems to work i have a atheros 5007eg [01:05] blade: the aircrack homepage/forums perhaps? [01:05] headkase314, sudo shutdown at now +2 hours would work as well? [01:06] I though aircrack only worked with specicic chipsets also. [01:06] Dr_Willis, tryed but no joy [01:06] cesc, I think that is what you are trying to do.. Can someone else confirm too? [01:06] cesc: why not use cron to have your system shutdown in 2hrs? or schedule it with the shutdown command? man shutdown [01:07] cesc, in a console try "man shutdown" and that will tell you all about it's options. Quit "man" with the q key and use arrow keys to scroll text. [01:07] hiku, cron is an app? === raven is now known as Guest94709 [01:07] cesc: cron is similar to windows at command [01:07] cesc: the shutdown command itself probably does exactly what you need. [01:07] cesc: man crontab [01:07] cesc, "man" is the (man)ual command, works for practically all programs. [01:08] headkase, no change [01:08] thanks guys. [01:08] should i reinstall gdebi === Guest94709 is now known as _raven [01:08] gbally, edit firefox preferences so it asks you where to download it then save to /home/yourUserName/Downloads and then when the download is complete go to Places > Downloads [01:09] gbally, once you go to where you downloaded it you can double-click it and gdebi will come up then you can install Chrome. [01:09] cesc: your welcome [01:09] gbally, firefox download preferences are Edit > Preferences, General tab. [01:10] i appreciate this is a very lame questiom but i could really use someones help. Anyone using the rotating screensaver in lucid 10.04 64bit and can they show how [01:10] exit [01:10] Hello, how can I remove a package without making apt to remove also the package that depends on it? [01:10] rotating cube i mean screensaver [01:11] i want to use it or presentation screen [01:13] thanks you swapoff [01:13] es: as far as I know that is the default, when you apt-get remove somepackage, the libs installed and other things still stay. [01:13] es try dpkg -r package [01:13] Hi, I'm having a problem with grub2. When I try to boot into Windows 7 via Grub2, it tells me "error: no such partition." fdesk -l tells me my Windows partition is on /dev/sda1 and that's what Grub2 is pointing to, so I'm at a loss. [01:13] sacarlson: nope it pretends to remove it [01:13] fdisk, that is. [01:14] es: wait no I'm wrong [01:14] Anyone using chrome here? [01:15] n-iCe, I have it installed but recently went back to firefox [01:15] es: I didn't get it. no not sure you want to do that? it would break stuf [01:15] mencoder stop working and I need help [01:15] im using chrome love it === bryanwithy is now known as linuxgeeek === linuxgeeek is now known as macgeeek === macgeeek is now known as windowsgeek [01:15] headkase314: why? had problems? the thing is I cannot select a chrome window to show always in active. === windowsgeek is now known as bryanwithy [01:15] chromium here [01:15] sacarlson: i know but i'm in those special circumstances [01:15] its how you can break tabs out and put them back in great feature [01:15] And flash crashes sometimes [01:15] es: try dpkg -r package [01:16] n-iCe, I'm not sure I understand you - can you rephrase that differently? [01:16] sorry im vhromium too [01:16] Ober7: actually i was looking man for the purge option [01:16] Ober7: of dpkg [01:16] headkase314: right click, and select always on top, you know what I'm talking about? [01:16] es: then just remove the files that were installed in the package off the disk I guess. [01:17] purge is only for comfiguration files, wont make a difference [01:17] n-iCe, ok that should not be a Chrome specific issue but rather a issue in your desktop manager. [01:17] headkase314: I don't think. [01:17] can you select it in chrome? [01:17] Ober7: thanks it works anyway [01:17] anyone rotating cube screensaver? [01:17] yw [01:17] i need to get it to work [01:18] anything that rotates the cube automatically [01:18] n-iCe, hold on I think I have to switch to gtk window borders... [01:18] solved it. [01:18] need help with mencoder\ [01:18] headkase314: why did you back to firefox? [01:18] n-iCe, solved? [01:18] yeah, the windows as it does not allow to use the option, clicking on the bar window does. [01:18] n-iCe, because I'm using the beta version of Chrome and sometimes it doesn't update the screen fully. I switch back and forth - right now with firefox.. [01:19] n-iCe, solved? [01:19] headkase314: yes [01:19] n-iCe, ok awesome +1 for you! ;) [01:20] hey guys anyone here using ultimate ubuntu === richard is now known as Guest37377 [01:20] yes... 2.6 [01:20] richard, not supported here [01:20] I just installed 2.8 [01:20] !ultimate > Guest37377 [01:20] Guest37377, please see my private message [01:20] liking it thus far [01:20] !ultimate | Guest37377 [01:20] Guest37377: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [01:21] ultimate ubuntu? never heard about it. [01:21] hi [01:21] n-iCe, neither have I but I know the ! command for it ;) [01:21] its a nice distro it looks [01:21] can you rotate the compiz cube automatically in ultimate ubuntu? [01:21] I have not yet tested it [01:21] Guest37377, its unsupported and offtopic here [01:22] ultimate ubuntu? [01:22] Ubuntu Ultimate is not supported whatsoever, cannot update [01:22] it just looks pretty, ut don't try to update it [01:22] I need help with mencoder, i had it working and now it does not work [01:23] that would be like being stuck on Breezy Badger [01:23] does anyone know of mencoder [01:23] if your gfx are working great why upgrade [01:23] sentry, what, if any, error message are you getting? [01:23] what would be the fastest cp command? [01:23] sentry: devede is the program that mencoder uses [01:23] sentry, yes. ask a more detailed question [01:23] hello, my gf is running ubuntu(she is in anther state), and I am trying to make her wireless work in kde, the network manager is not working properly with ubuntu network manger. I am looking to set up her wireless to work(I am connected through a reverse ssh tunnel on the Ethernet through gnomes network manager), dose anyone have any advice on how to get her wireless up and running and continue to run ? [01:24] or other recursive hidden file copy term command [01:24] it keeps telling me that it was interrupted by user [01:24] mbostwick: How about the application wicd? [01:24] (continue to run I meant to say persistently run, so that if she restarts it will still works ) [01:24] or sometimes it will say it was a faulty disc [01:25] DVD+R's are awful.... use DVD-R's for best for burning in Ubuntu [01:25] sentry, if you are re-encoding .vob DVD files you should always copy them to the hard drive first for reliability. [01:25] kyentei: do you know if gnomes network manager will use wicd for the backend ? [01:25] !dvdrip [01:25] mbostwick: No, they'll probably replace eachother. [01:26] !dvd::rip [01:26] hello [01:26] I am having trouble connecting to shared folders over wifi [01:26] acidrip [01:26] sentry, anyway Ubotto doesn't know about it but there is a program called dvd::rip in the repositories that always works well for me [01:26] !pm | sentry [01:26] sentry: 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. [01:27] i tried dvd::rip , no success [01:27] anyone know how I get the close/minimize buttons on the left side of the window back to the right side in Lucid? [01:27] sentry, always best to stay public chat in case someone gives you a bad command. [01:27] !controls [01:27] headkase314: you need to use !info if you want information about a specific package, !commands only work if we've added them specifically. [01:27] In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [01:27] k, thx baz [01:27] arquebus, ^^ [01:27] !info dvd::rip [01:27] dvdrip (source: dvdrip): perl front end for transcode and ffmpeg. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.11-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 1356 kB, installed size 2992 kB [01:27] Pici, thank you! Brain fade... [01:28] sentry, do you have libdvdcss2 installed from medibuntu? You will need that for encrypted DVD's? [01:28] hi all. this seems a bit stupid but do I really need antivirus and spywares for ubuntu ? [01:28] have thtat installed [01:28] that* [01:28] !virus > blackMatrix [01:28] blackMatrix, please see my private message [01:29] zelrikriando: does the wifi work can you use the internet? what are you using for file shareing samba? maybe try use ssh instead. [01:29] It was working fine and then BOOM it stop working properly [01:29] !virus > Ober7 [01:29] Ober7, please see my private message [01:29] sacarlson: yes [01:29] sentry, so to confirm: you are attempting to convert DVD's into a computer-video format using mencoder? [01:29] thanks bazhang [01:29] yes; rip to harddrive [01:30] sentry, right on. My experience is dvd::rip in the repositories works good - you just need to make sure you have libdvdcss2. Sorry, I can't really help with mencoder. Perhaps someone else can join in? [01:30] sacarlson: not sure how to setup a ssh server [01:31] zelrikriando: apt-get install ssh [01:31] how do I uninstall or reinstall a program in terminal? [01:32] sentry, "sudo apt-get install " or "sudo apt-get remove " [01:32] what is the propre command; i am still trying to be better at terminal [01:32] sentry: man apt-get [01:32] alright let try remove [01:32] !manual | sentry please have a read [01:32] sentry please have a read: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:33] I am still a noob, but i am trying [01:33] Hello, does anyone use a Logitech M305 wireless mouse with Ubuntu? I am unable to get it working. [01:33] sentry, to instal dvd::rip -> "sudo apt-get install dvdrip" [01:34] sacarlson: how to set it up though [01:34] sentry: there is also Syanaptic package manager [01:34] is there anyway for something that runs in the background that prints out what you're doing in the gui, and what it would look like in the terminal? [01:35] hi [01:35] like when I install somthing in software manager, it shows me what it's doing behind the scenes? [01:35] I have dvd::rip [01:35] zelrikriando: try places>connect to server>service type ssh [01:35] sentry, ok awesome! [01:36] how can i add samba to a group and run it as a user ? [01:36] i tried dvd::rip but i could never get a dvd to rip [01:38] sentry, I found that dvd::rip would copy the files to the hard drive fine then hang, closing it and restarting it then it would continue normally from there. That was an older version however: I do not know if this still happens with Ubuntu 10.04's version. [01:38] still around headkase? [01:38] People... what's this with dvd::rip? Why not simply just dd or cat /dev/sr0 to a file? [01:39] sentry, specifically it would hang on making the thumbnails so closing it and restarting you would then have the files on your hard drive and it could continue. [01:39] i continue to re-download google-chrome .deb on firefox, and it continues to not show me the location [01:39] gbally, yup! how goes the battle? [01:39] all i want to do is have it work. [01:39] download chrome and run [01:40] gbally: then copy the download link, open a terminal and type in "wget LINK" [01:40] yes, i know that possible, yet I want to have the GUI work [01:40] gbally, can you go to Tools > Downloads in firefox and open the location from there? [01:40] the location i have stated in the firefox preferences is desktop. desktop is blank. [01:41] other files are visible on desktop [01:41] just not any downloads [01:41] sacarlson: connect to what server? [01:41] the one you want to connect to [01:41] ... === kierra is now known as Guest45863 [01:41] gbally, is there a single period (.) before the file name? If so it will be hidden but it really shouldn't be that - I'm grasping at straws here.. [01:41] gbally: Open your desktop in nautilus then. You could be hiding your icons. [01:42] that s ok, something is working now [01:42] if I go to tools and downloads, i can have the file run from there, yet when i choose gdebi as the opener - nothing happens. [01:42] zelrikriando: do you know the ip address of the computer you want to connect? maybe look at this it's old but almost the same http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/114 [01:42] what is command for updating a file [01:42] gbally, give me a second with google [01:42] if I select open containing folder, it too brings up the OPEN with option, which is odd. [01:43] nvermind [01:43] nevermind* [01:44] i really want to know where the files are downloading to , i tried "Locate google-chrome" but it returns with nothing. [01:44] gbally, you should be downloading the .deb file and are you downloading the correct architecture? Are you 32 or 64-bit and are you choosing the matching .deb file? [01:45] i'm on 32. architecture is right, and that should not be an issue in terms of finding the file or selecting open location in the download bar [01:45] gbally, if you are 32-bit and downloading the 64-bit file gdebi may be failing silently when trying to open the file or vice-versa if you are 64-bit and opening a 32-bit file? [01:45] gbally: try locate debfilename.deb === neutrino is now known as tar- [01:46] what is gwibber? [01:46] gbally, choosing open with gdebi should work as long as you don't close firefox before installing it in gdebi. I'm at a loss to why gdebi is not handling the file. [01:46] sentry, a small program that handles social networks like twitter, facebook [01:46] what do it have to do with mencoder? [01:47] nothing. [01:47] can't find the file [01:47] locate returns nothing [01:47] gbally, have you tried to save the file to somewhere other than "desktop"? [01:48] is there a posibility to make samba run as user : "www-data" for example, and if yes how do you do that ? [01:48] can any one help me to use terminal viewer client [01:48] no I have not. [01:48] gbally, try "sudo find / -name google* -print" and see if that does anything. "locate" uses an index that may not get rebuilt until tomorrow morning's cron.daily run. [01:48] gbally: Just use wget now.. please. [01:48] but i believe the solution may lie in the fact that not even selecting open file location is working [01:48] gbally, try to save it to your "Downloads" folder then when downloaded go to Places > Downloads [01:49] kyentei, do you have a complete command line for wget? [01:50] gbally: after you changed you firefox download directory you downloaded the file you wanted again? [01:50] headkase314: let me get you one with the .deb file of chrome included. THat's required, right? [01:51] kyentei, ;) hoping the effort could be distributed across multiple people! :p [01:51] yes, i downloaded the file over 20 times now [01:51] headkase314: 64 or 32 bit? [01:52] headkase314: wget http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb [01:52] Right now i'm using wget which is downloading now. I'm also going to attempt to download with the choice menu of where i want to save the file to. [01:52] kyentei, 32 bit yup that's the line! Thank you very much! [01:52] in firefox [01:52] gbally, see kyentei's line just above [01:53] gbally: maybe we should take a look at what you have set your download directory to by going to firefox >edit>preferences>general and hit the keys alt print-screen-request === Maser is now known as Moses === Moses is now known as Maser === Maser is now known as Moses === Moses is now known as Maser [01:54] i'll do that. oddly the find request worked. [01:54] it saved to tmp.

[01:56] this looks the same from localhost? [01:56] sorry, sound retarded but i'm new to this system [01:56] gbally: what do you mean by "took a prntscrn" ? [01:56] gbally: I thought you already found the file so I guess we don't need it? or are we still looking for it? I thought you found it in /tmp [01:56] screen shot [01:57] tonsofpcs: [01:57] i've also realized that, when i went back in to change the location, it wouldnt allow me to select Desktop as the download location.

[01:59] gbally, it'll save to your - wait for it - desktop ;) [01:59] gbally: it should open up a window and ask where to save it [01:59] anybody here know how to fix apt package version problems? [01:59] gbally, it puts the image on your clipboard. you have to create a file and paste it in, or as ubottu said just paste it into the tinyurl area. [02:00] gbally: well you you want to share it with us idleone has showed you the place to go to send it http://tinyurl.com/imagebin [02:00] gbally, if the file exists in /tmp you can also go there using nautilus and double-click it there.

[02:07] coz_: if thats the case i'll get on amazon and order one [02:07] gbally: I'm not sure about why you can't use desktop but I would set the download path to /home/gbally/download gbally=you_unix_account_name the name you see in the top right of your screen [02:08] gbally: that is because you are running irc as root [02:08] robertzaccour, http://www.linux-drivers.org/printer_scanner.html [02:08] let me see, because actually I'm in other laptop :P [02:08] robertzaccour, I have had no issues with most of the current epsons from about 4 years ago til now [02:08] robertzaccour, hold on though let me find a link for priters and ubuntu [02:08] gbally: there is a reason why on the backtrack site it says that it is NOT for beginners [02:08] coz_: which one do you use? if its cheap i'll order that one [02:08] I'll be back, change to the laptop problem [02:08] i know, its not recommended to run on root [02:09] coz_: oh ok thanks [02:09] gbally: not only is it not recommended but it gets you banned from the support channel you need to get into [02:09] should i change the run setting for irc [02:09] I wanna hurry up and get win 7 off here lol hope i can return the hp one from wal mart [02:09] or log out and log in as a new user [02:09] robertzaccour, epson stylus photo r200... its old but working well [02:09] gbally: not running irc as root is a start. [02:09] coz_: oh ok great :) as long as its guaranteed, works, and efficient on ink :) [02:09] robertzaccour, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersEpson [02:10] one last question and i'll be out of your hairs. [02:10] robertzaccour, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters [02:10] gbally: logout and into the user of choice would be my pick [02:10] how do i create a new user with admin rights [02:10] how do i create a new user with admin rights [02:10] robertzaccour, I just installed an Epson Stylus NX305 all-in-one, cost $50 at Office Depot, and everything worked right out of the box. [02:10] gbally, add him to the sudoers [02:10] robertzaccour, efficient on ink is another matter all together:) [02:11] gbally: system>administration>user groups create a new user and hit all the boxes [02:11] robertzaccour, hp lazer jets work well also but of course they are much more expensive [02:11] thanks [02:11] apprecited [02:11] gbally, good luck! [02:11] robertzaccour, but check out those links I gave you [02:11] honestly, appreciate your time [02:11] How do I make my integrated monitor on my HP Touchsmart work correctly? [02:11] can someone say my name please? [02:11] olskolirc: [02:11] olskolirc, [02:11] thanks [02:12] olskolirc, checking your colors? ;) === sburjan` is now known as sburjan [02:12] yes headkase314 :-) [02:12] coz_: ok thanks === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:13] im on lucid using nvidia 6100 on xchat and it won't let me use xchats transparent backgrounds any help? [02:14] hi I Back [02:14] olskolirc: did you install the nvidia proprieatary drivers? [02:14] just what was in the repository sacarlson [02:15] do kodak printers work OOTB? [02:15] oh look theres adamx [02:15] i haven't seen his text in ages [02:15] olskolirc, you went to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers for them? [02:15] i used jockey-kde headkase314 [02:15] olskolirc: System>administration>hardware drivers === pocoyo is now known as pocoyo_ [02:15] ill look under system [02:15] well this is all my lspci [02:15] http://pastebin.com/PfaD4djX [02:15] it has the video and display info :P [02:15] olskolirc, ok that confirms proprietary drivers. [02:16] xanatos, ok you have an intel video chipset [02:16] oh im on kubuntu [02:16] yes [02:16] xanatos, the driver should be already installed [02:16] xanatos, what is the issue other than no xorg.conf? [02:17] coz_ but does the default nvidea let you have transparant background? maybe that's a compiz thing? [02:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware is this link pretty reliable? [02:17] sacarlson, sure with compositing on either compiz or matacity's compositing [02:17] sacarlson, i would suggest compiz for that however [02:18] sacarlson, and I would suggest also the nvidia_current driver [02:19] well the controller is already loaded, but when I tried to change the resolution is when I have problems, I have 1449x900 resolution actually, [02:19] I don't know if I can use a better resollution [02:19] did you hear that olskolirc, looks like you need compiz too for what you want [02:19] xanatos, ok is the resolution you have now comfortable to work within? [02:20] nop, I see all the windows too big [02:20] it seems the cheap ones are the ones to stay away from using Linux [02:20] printers i mean [02:20] xanatos, I see [02:20] olskolirc, I don't know kubuntu very well but I think compositing is what you need, in kde is that kwin? [02:20] !kwin [02:20] :) [02:20] yes headkase314 its kwin [02:20] !info kwin [02:20] kwin (source: kdebase-workspace): the KDE 4 window manager (KWin). In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu14 (lucid), package size 46 kB, installed size 132 kB [02:21] xanatos, ok I know too little about setting resolutions for intel I would assume it is no different however I have been spoiled by nvidia so I am sure someone here can help with that , however... if not go to the ##linux channel or #ubuntu-x channel [02:21] before I just modify the xorg.conf file :P [02:21] compiz bores me [02:21] i have compiz though [02:21] olskolirc, ok that's my limit for being able to help you.. ;) [02:21] xanatos, you can generate an xorg.conf still I believe [02:21] i just took my desktop wallpaper and used that for my background now i just have to gimp it darker :-P [02:21] hooooooooooo [02:21] coz_, you can [02:21] thanks headkase314 [02:21] Barnabas, i thought so [02:21] I'll try [02:21] olskolirc, you're welcome, good luck! [02:21] Barnabas, perhapts you can walk xanatos through that procedure..yes? [02:22] coz_ so thanks a lot [02:22] xanatos, what is the max resolution of the display you want to use ? [02:22] thats the first [02:23] Barnabas well, I don't know if I can use more than 1440x900 actually [02:23] whats the make of the laptop [02:23] it is a Dell Studio 17 [02:23] hey yall this one here http://www.amazon.com/Deskjet-F340-All---One-Multifunction/dp/B000VCCXRK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1281921777&sr=1-1 is listed on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware so does that mean it works in Ubuntu? === justin_ is now known as Alazare [02:24] anyone know how to run multiple graphic cards under ubuntu lucid? i have an oboard nvidia an a pci-e nvidia [02:25] looks like a great deal, just wanna know if my link source of compatibility is reliable or not. if anyone knows please let me know thanks [02:25] Alazare, ah mmm... I have not attempted this with multiple cards but let me check hold on === AlbertoP_ is now known as AlbertoP [02:25] xanatos, I think it is possible to go way way beyond that http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/studio-1747/pd.aspx?refid=studio-1747&s=dhs&cs=19 [02:25] Alazare, sometimes you BIOS will disable the onboard adapter if it detects a PCIe adapter, have you gone into your BIOS to see if settings related to that exist? [02:25] headkase314: see i have it working under windows xp [02:26] Barnabas let me see [02:26] Alazare, ok that's a good first step! [02:26] Alazare, yes headkase314 is correct... generally if pcie card is installed it will default to that and turn off onboard nvidia [02:26] xanatos, it was made with 3 displays and if yours is not a touch screen, it is one of the first two [02:26] Robertf: HP's are very well supported in Linux [02:26] robertzaccour: ^^^ [02:26] headkase314, but I will listen in just in case :) [02:26] IdleOne: not the one i got [02:26] coz_, I just ruled out perhaps one thing - still open for anyone to proceed! [02:26] xanatos, I think the standard is 1600x900 [02:27] not, is not touch screen [02:27] coz_: headkase314 if i enable the primary as the onboard in xp, i can also use the external long as my drivers installed under xp, now the problem underlinux is im using noveou driver because the linux nvidia driver newest 256 i belive and older dont display my movies properly in the nvidia version of xinerama, 1 big monitor [02:27] robertzaccour, did you chech those links I gave you for printers and ubuntu?? [02:27] can't boot Gparted :s [02:27] any help plz [02:28] Alazare, you have dual monitors? [02:28] triple [02:28] Hey all, got a question. I built minitube from source, and when I want to run it I type in ./build/target/minitube -- the problem is when I put the same command on a launcher on the desktop, I get an error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? [02:28] Alazare, I'm not familiar with nvidia - but now as a base to start with someone else you know that the physical hardware for both are enabled. [02:28] hey coz_ this one here http://www.amazon.com/Deskjet-F340-All---One-Multifunction/dp/B000VCCXRK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1281921777&sr=1-1 is listed on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware so does that mean it works in Ubuntu? and yes i got the links but found a link that has a one thats listed in the link on amazon thats cheaper [02:28] wissem: Do you have an Ubuntu LiveCD? The GParted LiveCD is not supported here, but the Ubuntu liveCD is (and it contains GParted). [02:29] Alazare, ah ok you would have to change a setting in xorg.conf once the nvidia_current driver is installed but the problem is that it will also maximize windows acroos all three monitors however... let me check online for setting up 3 monitors [02:29] robertzaccour: HP printers should all work with Ubuntu just fine. [02:29] 1 hdmi 65inch dlp tv, 1080 1920, 1 720p 19inch 1280 x 720 and 1 4:3 19inch 1280x1024 [02:29] Hi :) [02:29] Flannel: mine doesn't [02:29] yes Jordan_U , i have one [02:29] Flannel: mine is an HP Deskjet D1660 [02:29] Is there any way to be able to issue the command poweroff on a terminal without having to use sudo? [02:29] I mean if I use the icon it will not ask for a password, but to me it is funnier to do it by command. [02:29] how can i access the Gparted from ubuntu live cd? [02:30] wissem: System > Administration > GParted [02:30] Flannel: some of the newer ones have issues, actually. HP's overall quality has gone downhill over the last few years :( [02:30] Alazare, as far as I am aware you would have to use xgl to set this up ..unfortunately xgl is not longer developed or supported but I will continue to check [02:30] Anyone with smore more Samba Insight then me. care to explain why sometimes when o connect to a machine. (via windows) it returns me to a login/password dialog where it adds SERVERNAME/willis Instead of my user name of 'willis' ? i never have figured that out [02:30] having said that, I have a D7460 that works awesomely over wifi [02:30] quick question? :) is there any way to recover a system that have been phucked up by using the live cd or entering some of the folders from the system that is on the computer? [02:30] wissem it may not be installed on the livecd, iirc. But you can install it if you have internet connection: sudo apt-get install gparted (sudo password will be blank) [02:30] i have the 10.04 ubuntu live cd , am i going to find it Jordan_U ? [02:31] Oros: a live cd could of done ANYTHING.. so theres no quick and easy way. [02:31] Alazare, did you check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo [02:31] Oros: to be safest - backup imporntant data, and reinstall. [02:31] Dr_Willis: I had the same problem, and discovered that the windows I was using was a versioin that only supported X amount of machines connected at the same time, after that I got the same message [02:31] Oros: just "entering" the directories from a liveCD shouldn't have done anything to the computer, so if that's all that was done, you've got something else going on [02:31] Hey all, got a question. I built minitube from source, and when I want to run it I type in ./build/target/minitube -- the problem is when I put the same command on a launcher on the desktop, I get an error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? [02:31] well can i just install it here then ? econdudeawesome [02:31] ok, i allready reinstalled 2 times today ^_^ [02:31] any one use WPA for wireless? [02:31] now we are fewer people on the office, and have never had it again! [02:32] coz_: that other link i found as you saw had one of those on amazon for real cheap. is that other link i fould a reliable one? [02:32] Think IRC will have have audio/video chat like Paltalk? [02:32] jm2: yes [02:32] yes jm2 [02:32] olskolirc: probably not. Try finch/pidgin [02:32] econdudeawesome: Are you using the full path in the launcher? [02:32] Jordan_U: I think so. hmm, that's actually a really good idea--let me check [02:32] thanks econdudeawesome [02:32] robertzaccour, it should be yes... as i said I know epson is supported for the most part and nearly all of hp gateway probably not much [02:32] coz_: nVidia TwinView (two outputs on one card, a single desktop split across two monitors. 3d/video stuff works seamlessly across both). [02:32] my atheros 5001 worked until we put in WPA.. I've tried several things and can't get it connect. [02:32] no i'm running backtrack4 and i wanted to make changes to the drivers to the network card. and then i screwed up, it won't even boot up :p [02:33] Alazare, right that I have here [02:33] hi guys thanks for the awesome 10.04 i can finnally leave windows for good [02:33] Oros: Backtrack4 isn't supported here. Try #backtrack-linux. [02:33] Alazare, I have not ever tried ...nor do I have the equipment at hand for dual or more video cards... I have seen up to eight and even 20 or more montirs with ati and 6 monitors with nvidia [02:34] ok, kewl. didn't find anywhere else to turn but now i know. thx :) [02:34] rww, is lubuntu supported? [02:34] Jordan_U: worked like a charm. I'll be glad when I move beyond asking such newb questions :-D [02:34] Alazare, howevr the mulitple monitors with nvidia all used xgl [02:34] opij: no, but a lot of us run it [02:34] It sais that i'm banned from there but i haven't been there before, weird :S [02:34] opij: no idea, I haven't looked into it [02:35] Oros, from which channel? [02:35] has ubuntu got a package yet to make me coffee in the morning [02:35] well, on the bright side. i got ubuntu too ;) [02:35] lol [02:35] the backtrack channel [02:35] Is there any way to be able to issue the command poweroff on a terminal without having to use sudo?o [02:35] Nobody??? [02:35] rww, it seems everyone either doesnt know or a the few people that do know say it is supported [02:35] Oros i got that on Efnet last night from room to room and never been there [02:35] hhassey, mmm probably not but sudo init 0 will power down and init 6 a restart [02:35] !aisleriot [02:35] hhassey.. halt? [02:36] I wil try halt... [02:36] it will shut it down i think [02:36] hhassey, you'll find repeating questions doesn't get you very far. The reason people don't answer is not because they are ignoring you but simply don't know the answer to your question [02:36] bus as a general question is there a way to define which commands need sudo and what others do not??? [02:36] opij: you can try #lubuntu [02:36] hhassey, also if that happens and no one is answering you could try a channel like ##linux [02:36] hhassey - modify the /etc/sudoers file for the user [02:36] what does sudo? is it like admin rights? [02:37] or installing? [02:37] Oros: Likely someone using the same nick as you are currently using, or your ip, was trolling in that channel. Or maybe you're not actually banned but it just requires you to be registered with nickserv. [02:37] opij: Supported by whom? [02:37] Flannel, supported in this channel [02:37] ok, i'll change username and try again [02:37] wait a sec [02:37] why dosent sudo make me coffee work [02:37] don't know how to change ip, forgot =/ [02:37] I will take a look at that file [02:37] Alazare, you probably have seen this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DWzuIreDGA and the web page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884161 [02:37] opij: It is. However you're more likely to find better LXDE (and the assorted other things) support in #lubuntu [02:38] i found a link where a user said his hp deskjet d1660 works well in pclinuxos 2010 but not in ubuntu. can this be true? [02:38] opij: Just due to the window manager differences (the same thing goes for kde and #kubuntu) [02:38] maybe its sudo apg-get coffee [02:38] Oros: ifconfig ethx 192.168.2.111 [02:38] Flannel, can i ask you a quick question in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:38] opij: Always [02:38] ok, thx sacarlson :) [02:38] do any ubuntuforums mods hang out on irc? [02:39] linux-dj, sudo make me a sandwich http://xkcd.com/149/ [02:39] Alazare, also ...even though this is ati and not practical you might want to look at this video http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzUyNQ [02:39] linux-dj: sudo only helps with *local* permissions issues, it can't help you if you need to controll a remote person/machine. Unfortunately your local machine appears to be too lazy to make coffe on its own :) [02:39] hmmm [02:39] ill have to take a further look into this another time [02:40] ls [02:40] hi [02:40] i found a link where a user said his hp deskjet d1660 works well in pclinuxos 2010 but not in ubuntu. can this be true? [02:40] dir [02:40] yes [02:40] ping [02:40] yyanzq: Something we can help you with? [02:40] yes [02:41] yyanzq: yes to me?? [02:41] anyone familiar with checkinstall ? I have done 'sudo checkinstall' and 'sudo checkinstall make cd-sounds-install' and 'sudo checkinstall make cd-moh-install'. Does this create a single package with both options or am I creating a new package reconfigured only with latest option ? [02:41] robertzaccour, totally, support for various hardware differs widely by distro [02:41] thanks [02:41] ok its getting late for me ... I am probably off for the night unless I cannot sleep...be nice ..do well ./..night all :) [02:41] exit === nUboon2Ag is now known as nUboon2Age [02:41] anyway back to seriousness whats the ubuntu equivilent of a shortcut to a folder and how do i do it [02:41] zcat[1]: oh ok thanks i'll give pclinuxos a try then [02:41] eg none of my hardware works in gnewsense ;) [02:42] linux-dj, see symlinks [02:42] linux-dj, ln -s [02:42] usually it's just a matter of configuring something though.. if it can be made to work in pclos, getting it to work in any other distro should be possible too [02:42] to create an encrypted usb drive with cryptsetup, do i need to create a partition on the usb-drive first? [02:43] If it works in this distro I won't have to buy another printer or keep using win 7 :) [02:43] hipitihop, just do a checkinstall in the folder with the make / configure file [02:43] the rest is automatic [02:43] ring1 have you seen Truecrypt? [02:43] hi, how do I set a gdm theme? [02:43] Barnabas, I have run the above as individual runs [02:43] hipitihop, provided you have the compile prerequisites of cause, but the configure step should sort that out [02:44] hhassey: in the new gdm version (incluided in ubuntu 9.10. 10.04), you can't [02:44] robertzaccour, try looking through synaptic, there's a bunch of packages for HP printers that aren't installed by default... [02:44] hipitihop, checkinstall will make a deb pkg for you [02:44] xangua: eh :/ [02:44] Hello I ' m here ! anyone chat with me ? [02:44] install that by double clicking it when the compile is done [02:44] hhassey, i've seen and used it, yes. but i want to use luks this time [02:44] zcat[1]: i know none of them worked in Ubuntu, thats why I'm using win 7 right now. hopefully pclinuxos2010 will be fine, installing it now :) [02:45] linux-dj, if you left click in nautilus on the folder you want to link to it gibes you the option Make Link [02:45] I'm planning on installing Xubuntu 10.04 on an older Gateway E-3400. I increased the RAM to 512MB and it still has the 20GB hard drive. Is this likely to work? [02:45] gibs/gives [02:46] keith, yes it should work [02:46] keith, that should meet the minimums fine [02:46] Barnabas, yes .. but what is it doing when I run it again with the extra parameters ... it seems to do the right thing and even download additional tar.gz stuff, so I am assuming it creates a new package each time [02:46] thanks [02:46] I had ubuntu 9.04 on 512 MB [02:46] hipitihop, it should prompt you for a package name and description ? [02:46] it does here [02:46] is there a software for ubuntu, that help tomake livestream with my videocam in my website? [02:48] Barnabas, yes it does that. I think I am not explaining myself well, let me try again [02:49] Barnabas, I ran teh first time with 'sudo checkinstall' and it went through its motions and finished saying I can remove the package anytime via 'dpkg -r xxxx' ... [02:50] hipitihop, thats should be ok then? You should be able to find that pkg in synaptic [02:50] helloHello [02:50] Barnabas, .. but then reading further install docs, which said you should also consider 'make cd-moh-install', so I ran checkinstall again this time with 'sudo checinstall make cd-moh-install' [02:51] anyone here know any mmo's kinda like guild wars and wow that run natively on linux no wine emulation? [02:51] hipitihop, try to check synaptic and see if the pkg is installed - then check info to see what files it installed [02:51] Barnabas, second run also went through similar motions, this time downloading additonal tar.gz files and completed the same way... [02:52] bathacid: try http://www.playdeb.net/ & http://www.ubuntugames.org/ [02:52] hello - I have a problem with my Lucid ubuntu - whenever I work with openoffice or abiword which is like openoffice for writing pdfs, everything locks up and it leads me to power down my gear and power it up again - I am even thinking about switch to fedora because of that . I dont know where to look in my ubuntu for what causes the problem... I bought a new samsung with nvidia graphic card just for ubuntu but the problem driving me crazy - it is like windows fr [02:52] eezing... what should I do? :( [02:52] if i follow the instructions on this page http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde is there any chance i could lose personal settings or files like firefox plugins, bookmarks, irssi scripts, documents or anything else? [02:53] Barnabas, so what I'm not sure of if I run again with further make parameters, like 'sudo checkinstall make cd-sounds-install' does the latest get added to the previous, or do I somehow have to specify both lots of make arguments === xangua is now known as b0rreguito [02:54] hipitihop, if there is a configure step you should never have to in any build, since that step analyze your system and configure accordingly [02:54] hey guys am i just crazy or does it seem like with the launch of ubuntu one music service and with ubuntu being so user freindly now that they might be getting ready to go public with this and market towards the average user [02:54] if a prerequisite is missing the configure step should fail [02:55] Barnabas, yes there is a configure step, but these look like additional options, let me find actual instructions to see what you make of them [02:56] xangua: i went to that site and found a game when i tried to download it says that there was no package for it do i need to add something to the third party list or what? [02:56] I guess everyone is busy :( === b0rreguito is now known as xangua [02:57] bathacid: i mean go on those sites and search like games [02:58] yea i found a game that i liked [02:58] but it wont let me install because the package isnt found [02:58] please someone read my question above * I dont wanna spam it.. I really need help... please... === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [02:58] aan playbed¿ you need to install the .deb file they provide you to add the repository bathacid [02:58] playdeb* === olskolirc is now known as digitaldoll [02:59] or playeb repos [02:59] bathacid: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.04/#how_to_install [03:01] hey guys. I'm looking for some help with syncing my android phone with rythmbox. anybody know how I can do that? [03:01] hello - I have a problem with my Lucid ubuntu - whenever I work with openoffice or abiword which is like openoffice for writing pdfs, everything locks up and it leads me to power down my gear and power it up again - I dont know where to look in my ubuntu for what causes the problem... I bought a new samsung laptop with nvidia graphic card just for ubuntu but the problem driving me crazy - it is like windows freezing... what should I do? :( [03:02] sick tyvm for the help with playdeb very easy to follow [03:03] Barnabas, worked it out, I need to specify both in one run i.e. 'sudo checkinstall make cd-moh-install cd-sounds-install' [03:03] ok - never mind...:P [03:03] hipitihop, super [03:04] is there anyway to pass a usb device to a virtual machine using VirtualBox? [03:04] I NEED HELP!!!...Please Somone Help Me... [03:04] no [03:04] :) [03:05] !ask | pil [03:05] pil: 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. :-) [03:05] :P [03:05] hey guys. my apt-check is eating up my CPU as nearly 100% each time since i start my ubuntu 10.04. any ideas ? [03:06] !helpme | pil [03:06] pil: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [03:06] ubottu: hello - I have a problem with my Lucid ubuntu - whenever I work with openoffice or abiword which is like openoffice for writing pdfs, everything locks up and it leads me to power down my gear and power it up again - I dont know where to look in my ubuntu for what causes the problem...

[03:07] pil: First of all, you should always try to avoid actually pulling the plug. [03:07] !sysrq | pil [03:07] pil: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [03:08] ok === easter_egg is now known as Ayrton [03:08] Barnabas, thanks for your time [03:08] hipitihop, np [03:08] pil: How much RAM do you have? Does it freeze up immediately? Can you give a more detailed description of what happens? [03:09] hey guys. my apt-check is eating up my CPU as nearly 100% each time since i start my ubuntu 10.04. any ideas ? i use 2.6.32-23-generic kernel and gnome [03:09] Running Windows 7 (Enterprise) on VMWare player in Lucid is bringing the system to a really slow crawl! Can anyone throw some light on why this happening? This is a Dell XPS - Core i7 with 4GB RAM (32-bit Lucid). I have dedicated 1.5GB RAM for the VM. TIA. [03:10] Murali, that's just what happens to my laptop each time i run win7. The only way to avoid it is not to run VMWare :) [03:10] :) yup, but my company has given me the VMWare images... Cannot run this in VirtualBox..Can I? [03:10] The same here about VMWare on Windows 7. Avoid it ! [03:11] Jordan_U: it happens often - first I thought it happens because of OpenOffice because whenever I work with openOffice, it freezes then I installed the Abiword which is like OpenOffice but the freezing thing happened again - I don't know it it is because Compiz because normally what I know of freezing things are because of graphical stuff-by the way I have 4 GB Ram - it is a damn powerful samsung laptop [03:11] Murali, yes virtualbox is compatible with vmware images [03:11] Murali, if you will se a performance improvement is more doubt full [03:11] Ah.. Thx Barnabas, will try to run using VirtualBox... I assumed that Windows 7 might 'bark' at activation when I do this.. [03:12] Murali, It may [03:12] is there a software for ubuntu, that help tomake livestream with my videocam in my website? [03:12] Murali, but not more than wmware I think [03:12] Barnabas, anyway worth a try.. Will report back... [03:12] Murali, I actually used a vmware tool to rip an installed windows xp to a vm file, which I am now running under virtualbox as a vmdk [03:12] i mean a webinar [03:12] Jordan_U: where should I look in in order to see what causes the freezing in ubuntu? [03:12] pil: Does it freeze immediately and without any previous symptoms that you've noticed? [03:12] hipitihop, which tool is that? [03:13] immediately [03:13] <_genuser_> hello people [03:13] pil: Do you have another computer? [03:13] Murali, sorry too many moons ago, something from vmware I had to download [03:13] Murali, i suggest u turn off gnome-do before openning vmware or virtualbox. it does speed up a little bit for virtual image [03:13] Jordan_U: yes my sis has a PC with windoze Xp why? [03:14] caonanroad4880, thanks for the tip, will try that too [03:14] pil: You can try connecting via ssh, often it's just X (the GUI) that has crashed, and ssh will allow you to examine the situation while it's still crashed. [03:14] hey guys. anybody has experience about apt-check or update-notifier's high CPU usage ? [03:15] Jordan_U: how can I connect with ssh? Just give me a link which explains it will do - I dont wanna bust your b*lls about it... [03:17] pil: "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" to allow remote login via ssh, then use putty to actually log in via ssh from windows: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [03:18] caoanroad4800: other than turning it off or setting a longer check interval, i probably don't have a suggestion. But how long is CPU usage elevated? [03:18] Jordan_U: thanks alot - you are my savior [03:18] thanks so much [03:19] pil: You're welcome. [03:19] hi how do I configure xserver in ubuntu/gnome? [03:19] cobelloy: What are you trying to configure specifically? [03:19] thune3, i have to "sudo pkill apt-check" it every 10 min maybe. it auto restarts every time .... not it's eating my 98% cpu usage [03:20] thune3, now the output of "sudo top" is 4724 simon 39 19 65040 25m 3704 R 96 0.7 30:33.97 apt-check [03:20] thune3, how to sett a longer check interval for apt-check then ? [03:20] Jordan_U, I dont have an xorg.conf file that I can edit, and I dont think i am using correct intel driver [03:21] i dont know how to drop to console to do dpkg-recofigure either [03:22] cobelloy: Xorg is pretty smart now and while you can still create an Xorg.conf manually and it will be used, I doubt that is the problem. The only likely issue with choosing a driver would be KMS vs non KMS, which is actually not an Xorg configuration. [03:22] caoanroad4800: that sounds broken then. The settings (you can get there several ways), System->Admin->Software-Sources updatesTAB. [03:22] cobelloy: What problem are you having specifically with the default setup? [03:23] Good evening [03:23] Jordan_U, i dont know what kms is, the crux of the problem is that there is no 3d acceleration at the moment [03:23] Jordan_U, lspci -v says driver is i915, but have 945 chip [03:24] thune3, thanks. i've turned off the "auto update" option during your suggestion. and i'll wait to see if it works .... [03:27] hi [03:28] hi everyone...its me again. is there any other detector aside from lm-sensors...my laptop is heating up and I couldn't get this lm-senors app to work. please help [03:29] Jordan_U, can u suggest anything? how can I turn off X and get console to do a dpkg-reconfigure? [03:31] cobelloy: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [03:31] blackMatrix, turn your laptop off bring it into the shop and get them to replace all the fans. - really if it's overheating there's something wrong with the hardware. [03:32] hello [03:32] !hi abhijain [03:32] i dont know hoe to compile c program on command can any pne help me [03:32] blackMatrix, the heat sinks could be clogged with dust and you won't know unless you open it. And laptops are all custom so getting the proper replacement parts could be difficult. [03:32] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/eGpBxnVb [03:33] blackMatrix, also the battery might have issues, do you have a spare battery you can put into it for a while? [03:33] AndrewMC: ? [03:34] abhijain~ you may want to ask over at ##c [03:34] trying to set up Boston BA745 speakers, new Ubuntu user [03:34] headkase314: does that mean I have to try clean it up by opening the back [03:34] Do I need to adjust settings on my soundcard? [03:34] !details | mudnick [03:34] mudnick: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:35] hi there, so i installed, ubuntu, latest version, then apache, now when i try to open index.html in var/www/ its read only? what can i do to remove this? [03:35] blackMatrix, you should not do anything unless you absolutely know what you're doing. If you don't you should bring it into your local computer repair shop. [03:36] headkase314: I think it should be pretty straight forward...but I was more looking for apps that can show you temprature of cpu === Damn3d is now known as damn3d [03:36] sure. running 10.4. I just hooked up these speakers, I get no sound. [03:36] blackMatrix, overheating is a classic sign of dust-clogged heatsinks. They'll only be able to tell in the shop when they open it [03:37] I dumpstered these speakers, but they appear in perfect condition, power on, all cords connected correctly [03:37] cobelloy: Can you pastebin the output of "glxinfo"? [03:38] blackMatrix, the problem with just blowing the dust out of the heatsink is that the dust gets in the fans and ruins the rotors so the fan needs to be replaced. I don't know what your laptop issue is but I do know that overheating is bad(tm). Do you have proper ventilation on the bottom of the laptop? Is it on a hard-flat-surface (should be) or on a soft surface it sinks into (should not be)? [03:38] AndrewMC: any suggestions? [03:38] ubottu: ? [03:39] is it possible to login as root? [03:39] cobelloy: It appears that Xorg is at least trying to load the "intel" driver, which is the correct driver for a 945G. [03:39] Hey, does anyone know if Ubuntu can index ntfs or windows files? [03:39] !root | Funhouse [03:39] Funhouse: 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. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:39] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/wN29W9vs [03:39] hi, anyone have any suggestions for a color picking program for ubuntu? much like the colorpicker application for windows? I have some elements I need to know what their color codes are :( [03:39] Looking for help in setup of Boston BA 745 speakers. New ubuntu user, 10.4 [03:40] Jordan_U, why does it identify as i915 tho when 945G is one of the listed chips? [03:40] cobelloy: "direct rendering: Yes" Means you have 3D acceleration. [03:40] Jordan_U, is there an easy way to check its working? [03:41] Jordan_U thank you but, why is it when i try to open the index.html file in apache2 folder, it says permission denied? [03:41] xomp: have you looked at the software center¿ [03:41] Looking for help setting up speakers Boston BA745. New ubuntu user [03:42] xangua, well not knowing what to look for is a bit more cumbersome don't you think? [03:42] !patience | mudnick [03:42] mudnick: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [03:42] Funhouse: You probably don't have read permission as your user. You can run "gksudo gedit /path/to/file" to open the file as root. [03:42] xangua, besides, I'm not sure the software center accepts search strings in the form of questions heh === eric is now known as Guest80885 [03:42] !permissions | Funhouse [03:42] Funhouse: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [03:42] i need help [03:43] i want... [03:43] how are you doing [03:43] Jordan_U how do i make it that the user i created can access all files? [03:43] permenatly [03:43] ubottu: i guess when you asked me for details, I expected some sort of response upon providing them [03:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:44] hey can I be admin here? [03:44] Funhouse: First please read the link from ubottu which can explain permissions better than I can. Then come back if you still have any questions. [03:44] Funhouse, when sudo doesn't do the job then you need to rethink your approach to the problem. [03:44] headkase314 sudo does the job but do i need to do that everytime? and can i sudo from gui? [03:44] there used to be a way to activate the root account so you could log in with it didnt there? [03:44] hi ubottu [03:45] ubottu has bad manners :-( [03:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:45] Funhouse, no user should have full access to the filesystem. What is it, in detail, you are trying to do? [03:46] ubottu: index ntfs [03:46] Jordan_U, glxgears gets around 4000 frames/5sec - is that good or bad performance? [03:46] Funhouse, sudo is required any time you need to do an administrative task. You use sudo each time. [03:46] ok thank you headkase314 and Jordan_U [03:46] Funhouse, you're welcome! [03:46] cobelloy: That's fast enough to suggest you have 3D acceleration, beyond that glxgears is a poor benchmark [03:47] join #fedora [03:47] My uploads are stuck at 0 kb/s for some reason... uploads always work on windows. Does anyone know what might cause this? [03:47] Jordan_U, is there a better test? [03:47] cobelloy: All intel cards use the "i915" kernel driver. [03:47] oh OK [03:47] oops, i am specifically referring to torrents, sorry ^ [03:48] Hellooo people!!! [03:48] hello [03:48] dexi, is UPnP enabled both in your router (if you are using one) and if so in the torrent client as well? This only applies if you go through a router. [03:48] Jordan_U, thanks, I will try to change the memory allocation of the chip that might improve performance [03:49] dexi, UPnP = Universal Plug and Play [03:49] Pidgin always hangs when I load it, why is that? [03:49] headkase314, I do go through a router, yes, would that change between windows and linux? I have tried it both ways on here and no result either way. I unfortunately don't have electronic access to the router :-/ [03:50] dexi, the router probably has UPnP enabled because you seed on xp, under Ubuntu the first thing to check is if your torrent client has UPnP enabled, do you use Transmission? That I have installed so I can look to see where the setting is.. [03:51] Kjeldor: if you are refering to msn account, it takes time to conect [03:51] YM xangua [03:51] headkase314, i've checked, i saw where it was, tried with it on and off in transmission, i also tried using qbittorrent. also, just for clarification, i seed on 7, not xp. [03:51] once its connected, 5 seconds later, it hangs [03:52] dexi, regardless of whether it solves your issue directly UPnP should be enabled in your torrent client, that's all I can think of at the moment. And sorry, 7 - gotcha, not xp ;) [03:52] Kjeldor: no idea, i don't use it; you cold also update it with the instructions at http://www.pidgin.im/ or ask and give more details in #pidgin [03:53] . [03:54] headkase314, Well, it is, haha. it's weird because i swear it was uploading the other day... and it's not that I don't have anyone trying to download, theres plenty. and I have connections :-/ [03:54] headkase314, actually, im sure it was working before because transmission is reporting my "total ratio" as 1.31 [03:54] dexi, which client do you want to use? Transmission or qBitorrent? [03:55] Http://CoderLegion.com/index.php - Linux forums coming soon [03:55] headkase314, transmission [03:55] BloodySpade: don't advertise here, please [03:55] dexi, k give a minute [03:56] k rww [03:57] headkase314, thanks [03:57] rww, hello [03:57] l [03:57] o [03:57] l [03:57] hey all, i was wondering if anyone has got the directory tree to work in Lucid x64 [03:57] hi people! does setfacl work on ubuntu? [03:57] (padre app) [03:58] depend you [03:58] I'm trying to setfacl on a file, but it says operation not supported.. [03:58] I'm reading: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/padre/+bug/485012, but I don't know if the bug has been fixed yet [03:58] dexi, see this link -> https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ there are various support options there including IRC forums dedicated to transmission. [03:59] hi [03:59] headkase314, cool thanks [03:59] dexi, you're welcome, good luck! [04:00] Anyone know how to index an ntfs file sysem? [04:00] hi [04:06] pmp6nl: what do you mean, what sort of ouput product are you seeking? === DareDevil is now known as DareDevil0 [04:07] how to verify if all dependencies are satisfied?

I would like to be able to search for them [04:07] Hi is there anyway to assign a physical interface to the virtualbox? [04:07] North_Italian69: sudo apt-get check [04:08] thune3: this chek for all system? [04:09] North_Italian69: it checks for broken dependencies for the whole system (all installed packages) [04:09] pmp6nl: ok, lemme look... [04:09] thune3: thanks [04:09] thune3: it takes 1 second to check. i don think that has checked all system [04:10] 10.04 server issue here. fairly fresh install. cannot ping pass-protected router after getting PSK.

[04:11] !piracy > digitaldoll [04:11] hi can anyone answer a couple of questions? [04:11] digitaldoll, please see my private message [04:11] I only asked once bazhang [04:11] i own the disk i lost the key don't call me a pirate! [04:11] digitaldoll, stop asking. [04:11] digitaldoll, that has nothing to do with Ubuntu. [04:11] i only asked once pay the fuck attn bazhang [04:12] !op shy [04:12] wrong channel, digitaldoll. [04:12] digitaldoll: Ask in #windows [04:12] im new to ubuntu, how do i install ati drivers? and is flash already installed and working? [04:12] Funhouse, sudo interactive is pretty close to root so you should be avoiding that unless you have a good reason too... [04:12] uman, uh no [04:12] DareDevil0, ask in #vbox [04:12] !ati | xisorshadow [04:12] xisorshadow: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto === abhijit is now known as Guest71481 [04:12] bazhang: I was kidding === abhijit_ is now known as abhijit [04:13] what command empties the trash [04:13] wow that seems complicated [04:13] im a noob [04:14] pmp6nl: i'm not an expert, apparently you can use "beagle-settings" to add realtime update areas, or http://beagle-project.org/Static_Indexes static indexes. If this is an always mounted drive, i guess either option is ok. Feel free to ask again. "How do i get beagle to index my ntfs partition?" [04:14] psycho789: rm -Rf ~/.Trash/* [04:15] fdsf [04:15] gimmickless, thanks [04:15] xisorshadow: sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-radeon isn't complicated [04:15] there might be a trash icon in the bottom right corner as well. I've got one in 10.04 [04:15] i have no idea what you just said [04:15] so ya it is lol [04:16] xisorshadow: then it's complicated [04:16] any have a idea what i should do for a ubuntu server i just bought some blade servers i have one set up as a dns and i have 2 other blade server trying to think what what to do with them [04:16] thune3: I had added the directory in the settings area and it still doesnt index. I will look into static indexes, unless you know of some other indexing/searching option. Thanks [04:16] xisorshadow, what is the model of your ati card? === corey is now known as Guest3641 [04:16] radeon 5870 [04:16] xisorshadow: ubuntu already comes with opensource drivers for ati, if you want 3d acceletarion you might want to try fglrx: sudo apt-get install fglrx === ed is now known as ECT88 [04:16] do i need 3d acceleration or whatever?

[04:17] i am likely asking a stupid question, how do you enable 'universe', i check the source and its not commented out. is there another step? [04:17] bathacid1: maybe you can help the FBI to crack encrypted files with the extra cpu power you have (just kiding). [04:18] howdy [04:18] linksys wrt160n [04:18] what should i do first as far as learning linux? [04:19] r3sno: what makes you think it's disabled? [04:19] i was thinking about a domain controller but i dont really want to put my computer to network log in's [04:19] xisorshadow, ok - go here -> http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx and download the appropriate driver [04:19] ok [04:19] xisorshadow: install ubuntu, read the manual, play around [04:19] xisorshadow, this will be the "proprietary" driver to install [04:19] r3sno: If it's there and not commented out, and you've done an aptitude update, it should be available [04:19] !manual | xisorshadow [04:19] xisorshadow: 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/ [04:19] xisorshadow: play with it google it. click all the applications [04:19] ilovefairuz: im trying to add the xbmc ppa, and after refreshing i cant get it to install. the instructions say to enable universe, so imagine is missed it [04:19] will doing anything in here break my windows?

[04:20] xisorshadow: oh and in most application there is help at the top [04:20] xisorshadow: unless you're playing in window's partition, you won't break anything [04:20] xisorshadow: not likely [04:20] ilovefairuz: the package isnt found [04:20] when I modprobe windfarm_core, I get a no such device error [04:20] r3sno: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [04:20] ilovefairuz, xisorshadow is wubi, does that make a difference for proprietary drivers? [04:21] can anyone please tell me how to browse samba files on lubuntu? [04:21] Dhani: yes you can, have you actually tried ? [04:21] xisorshadow: there are reports of wubi breaking the boot manager, but they're rare and it won't delete any of your files or anything [04:21] Hi guys, I've got a 3in1 Magic Joy Box gamepad adapter but it is not recognized when i plug it in, is there a package I need to install in order to get this to work? [04:21] breaking it after its already installed and booted? [04:21] headkase314: makes zero-difference when it comes to software [04:21] xisorshadow: if you reall want 0 risk, you can run Ubuntu in a virtual machine. [04:22] xisorshadow, grab yourself an older used cheap computer and install Linux so you can break it repair it and break it again and not worry whether it will wreck your good box [04:22] ilovefairuz, thank you. [04:22] North_Italian69: maybe i'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do, or what you are seeing that is worring you. [04:22] if i set up a samba server will it show up like a nas? [04:22] xisorshadow, still got that link to download the proprietary ati driver?

[04:23] im back bitches :-) [04:23] digitaldoll, watch the language [04:23] bathacid1: it will show up when browsing network for sharing windows machines, a NAS could share by other means as well not only smb [04:23] !language | digitaldoll [04:23] digitaldoll: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:23] thune3: i wold like to check the entire os for missing dependences [04:24] hmm, that should be family-friendly [04:24] I'm not interested in having ubottu's kids either! [04:24] ilovefairuz, do i need to install proprietary driver for dlink? [04:24] running lucid, and using deja dup. it runs daily, but crontab -l doesn't list the cron job, and gnome-schedule shows no jobs [04:24] Question: RUnning 10.04. I added a second drive, and I can mount it using places. However places includes the NOSUID option during mount. Where do I go to change this behavior [04:24] if i installed a samba server on a server that already has dns functions will that cause problems? [04:24] i user - apt-cache unmet- i gives a bg outpout [04:24] hey I was wondering... is there an xsane-gimp package for Ubuntu? [04:24] big [04:25] the compiz channel seems to be dead tonight... anyone who's updated from 8.04 to 10.04 and can help me get my cube back? [04:25] Dhani: i'm not familiar dlink but it depends on the particular chipset you have, as i have said, pastebin lshw -C network and check system > administration > hardware drivers for any related entries [04:25] North_Italian69: there are three levels of dependencies: depends, recommends, and suggests. Suggests are not installed in ubuntu by default like the others. apt-cache unmet is probably showing suggests. [04:25] j_ayen_green: It might run cron in another user account like maybe root or other that is setup at install [04:25] condon: you have the compiz control program installed right? [04:26] Yep [04:26] condon: it should be under the Desktop section [04:26] sacarlson: i'm issuing crontab -l in root... and running gnome-schedule logged into root [04:26] ilovefairuz: heres my source.lst http://dpaste.com/229468/ [04:26] tensorpudding: in terminal> compiz --replace > what does it show¿ [04:26] sorry, condon* [04:26] turned off all the settings that seemed to have conficts [04:26] hold on xang, will pastebin it [04:27] wait, is compiz running¿¿ [04:27] !who | condon [04:27] condon: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[04:27] j_ayen_green: and see no cron jobs there? do they run? look in /var/log files to see what cron jobs have been run [04:28] Hello everyone. I'm trying to share a folder using shares-admin but its not leting me share thru samba even though its installed. Any ideas? TIA! [04:28] condon: in the config menu you need to enable the desktop cube and rotate cube ones [04:28] r3sno: you probably did not the ppa correctly because there are no entries for it === TheAnswer is now known as Thornton [04:28] how do I use !tab? [04:28] condon: enabling the cube requires disabling the desktop wall extension which is on by default in 10.04 [04:29] ilovefairuz, okay i will.. & 1 more thing. is there any way i can extend my WiFi signal because when i logged on to windows, i can get a good wireless reception but the signal is too low in ubuntu. is there any workaround for this? Thanks for your help. [04:29] !tab | condon [04:29] condon: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:29] sacarlson: yes, it runs daily around midnight, but crontab -l only shows the anachron daily, weekly, monthly entries, and the files in those directories don't appear to be related, and the anachron entries don't show up in gnome-schedule [04:29] condon, type two or three letters of a nick and hit tab key [04:29] This may be a vague question but how can I get my gamepad to work? [04:29] ilovefairuz: i enter: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc [04:29] tensorpudding the settings are correct, that's not my issue [04:29] i'll check the log [04:29] Dhani: try adjusting the laptop orientation, but other than this, it's probably a driver issue [04:29] can anyone please tell me how to browse samba files on Lubuntu? [04:30] Guest3641: install drivers? configure buttons? plug it in? who knows where one should start [04:30] xangua: that pastebin's coming, I start compiz in command but it crashes to fallback window manager [04:30] j_ayen_green: try crontab -l in your user account. also in /var/log you should see each time that a cron tab has run in any account [04:30] opij: not familiar with lubuntu but search software center for a samba browser [04:30] thune3: im making a pastebin to show the output [04:30] opij: you need to setup the samba system to share a folder, etc [04:31] r3sno, i did [04:31] opij: restart samba?

[04:51] is the DNS in /etc/resolv.conf your ISP's server or your router's IP?

[06:42] So, I installed evdev by accident [06:42] and it broke my joystick configuration [06:42] and now I can't remove it [06:43] without removing my xserver. What kind of bizarre dependancy system allows you to NOT have evdev installed but once its installed you can't remove it? [06:43] I'm about 10 seconds away from reinstalling [06:43] but I feel like its a little insane that I have to reinstall my OS just to remove an optional component [06:44] i did the last apt-get upgrade and now flashplugin is not recognized by the webpages i browse i am using ff and chromium [06:44] anyone have any thoughts?

[06:58] dunno with my modem transmission is downloading slow [06:59] you have to tweak your tcp.ip first [06:59] kala: Probably an issue with port forewarding rather than with any specific client. [06:59] tcp/ip [06:59] if you knew hoe to do it... [06:59] So, yeha, anyone know how to disable joystick mouse emulation? [06:59] its such a wierd usb modem [06:59] y/s/hoe/how [06:59] hi all ! search files and folders stopped working in ubuntu , not returning any result even if the file exists [07:00] hahaha, it's insecure to connect by usb interface... because... [07:00] hey guys...I am curious as to why, when I run initramfs -u, it tells me that "cryptsetup" is saying that my swap partition, /dev/sdb6, has "more than one resume device candidate". That seems to defy all logic. [07:00] scriptwarlock, ok so why alt+f2 is not working and also alt+f1 [07:02] Surlent777: "cryptsetuP" is likely saying that because you set up an encrypted swap partition, does swap still mount? [07:02] peepingtom: I don't recall ever encrypting it. =/ I am not sure if it mounts or not, honestly. GParted seems to still see it as a plain swap and I can turn it on and off without any messages from GParted [07:03] anyone got experience making emerald themes? [07:03] peepingtom: In fact, just now I told it to format it as swap and then tried again...same message =/ === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [07:04] hendaus: let me see if xmodmap can help you [07:06] themes are a fun exercise in creative graphic arts [07:06] peepingtom: I've also noticed that sometimes the system doesn't boot up, and when I look behind the Plymouth splash (Alt+B) it tells me that same thing and then asks me to either press enter or type the path to the resume image, but accepts no keyboard input anyway. It's rather annoying. Any idea on how I can resolve this? [07:06] Hi, what can I do if a program which uses KDE (or qt3, not sure. It's DBDesigner 4) runs with font size really, really small? [07:06] hey anyone know why its not good to install flash in a browser? [07:06] # Appears as ANNA [07:07] Surlent777: well I don't know much about this, but "more than one resume device candidate" probably means that you have more than one swap partition. So, my understanding is that Swap is Swap, it isn't specially formatted as encrypted swap or unencrypted swap. you can write encrypted or unencrypted files to it. So I imagine that you either have more than one swap partition, or that because swap can either be mounded as encrypted or unencryp [07:07] hi all ! search files and folders stopped working in ubuntu , not returning any result even if the file exists [07:07] Surlent777: this channel is kind of dead at this time because lots of smart europeans are sleeping, you'd probably have better luck with a theorough google search ;) [07:08] peepingtom: I am fairly certain that I only have one swap partition =/ That and Google hasn't been very useful so far =/ [07:08] Surlent777: also thanks for the heads-up with alt+b, i've been booting with the "quiet" option because I need that output sometmes [07:09] peepingtom: Not a problem. I found it on accident trying to do a REISUB [07:09] # Appears as ARMANDO [07:10] scriptwarlock, i change from the keyboard shortcuts alt+f2 to alt+s and it works [07:10] why [07:10] chipdipson, disable that please [07:10] hendaus: so change then the previous alt-f5 as your refresh key [07:11] chipdipson, the 90's called. They want their crappy microsoft chat back. Use a real irc client please. [07:11] What can I do if a program which uses KDE (or qt3, not sure. It's DBDesigner 4) has a really, really small font size everywhere? [07:11] hendaus: to alt-2 [07:11] (#G010E010M1) hahaha [07:11] (#G410E910M1) what's it doing? [07:11] fck no body is replying :( [07:11] Surlent777: Well, my understanding is that when you hibernate a machine, it dumps the memory to the swap partiton, so that's probably wat it means by "more than one resume device candidate" [07:11] (#G810E:10M1) on this end it's extremely hilarious [07:12] (#G010E010M1) sorry to break up your support discussion [07:12] Surlent777: of course I may be completely wrong and it writes the memory to the hard disk, but i'm pretty sure it uses swap [07:12] chipdipson, on this end you are really annoying. Quit it. [07:12] chipdipson, stop it. [07:12] peepingtom: That was my understanding too. I never use Hibernate because it has always been unreliabe [07:13] hendaus: interchanging alt's doesnt matter as long as your only using the keyboard [07:13] peepingtom: I tried going to suspend and back but that didn't do anything. You'd think redoing the partition would fix that but apparently not. Maybe I need to be in a live cd to do that? [07:13] hendaus: but anyway seems you got it now and have a nice day :) [07:13] #G010E010M1 [07:13] peepingtom: properly I mean [07:13] oh joy, another MS Comic Chat user. [07:14] hi everyone, can someone please tell me why it says "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" on the desktop download page? isn't that the one i should get if i have a 64 bit laptop? [07:14] shreymech, chipdipson last warning [07:14] hendaus: I have an idea, you should try using one of those "virtual keyboards" like onboard [07:14] rww, feel like going jerkcity on their ass? [07:14] scriptwarlock, thanx dude :) [07:14] ty2u, there are some things (like flash) that don't work properly on 64 bit [07:14] ty2u: It's there as a warning simply because some things can get a little funny, like Flash [07:15] peepingtom, how? [07:15] ahh, ok. i think flash is ok these days. thanks [07:15] even on iphone [07:15] bazhang, sorry dude.. but i don't know what that code do..???? i just saw chipdipson doing that..??? [07:15] ty2u: I happen to run 64-bit with excellent results. It just might take a little work once in a while on your part, and if you ever download a deb with i386 in the name you'll have to install it with the command line [07:15] hendaus: I cant believe youre still in this channel ;) but run "onbard" in terminal [07:16] ty2u: which is not hard to do, incidentally: sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture /path/to/deb/file [07:16] onboard, not onbard :) [07:16] ubuntu has two directories called lib64 and lib32 [07:16] hendaus: erm actually there's no Fnum keys on onboard so that idea's dead ;) [07:16] unless someone knows how to show the f keys [07:17] hi all ! search files and folders stopped working in ubuntu , not returning any result even if the file exists [07:17] Fn keycombinations are handled by the keyboard itself [07:17] shreymech: judging from rww's comment that funny # stuff may be a string that only MS Comic Chat puts out and presumably uses to tell other MS Comic clients to modify the "comic" in some way, would be my guess [07:17] Yeah I just thought that since most keyboards are USB and don't have those fancy ps/2 interrupts or whatever that ther was a way to do it virtually [07:18] Surlent777: your hypothesis is accurate [07:18] Surlent777, man my revious problem..?? files and folder one [07:19] rww: Awesome. Good to know. [07:19] shreymech: I'm afraid I don't know enough about how Nautilus works to advise you much on this =/ [07:19] shreymech, use locate in the terminal :) [07:19] Surlent777, what is a MS comic chat [07:19] peepingtom, ok i open onboard but there is no showing the f1 f2 .. till the end [07:20] Seveas, but GUI is fast.. i need to search alot of files.. terminal is tiring in that case [07:20] shreymech: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Comic_Chat [07:20] Seveas, my GUI is not working [07:21] Surlent777, so can u do that # magic to me..??? i want to experiene that [07:22] my gui can run glxgear in 15000+ fps [07:22] comic chat loks wildly entertaining [07:22] shreymech: I cannot, as neither of us use that chat client. [07:22] Surlent777, than how come i was creating problem by that # command..???? [07:23] shreymech: It was not a problem, it was just seen as annoying by your fellow users, who no doubt justifiably consider it "spam" [07:23] shreymech: By contributing to filling the channel with non support related messages. [07:23] Jordan_U, okk Surlent777 ok [07:24] Surlent777: did you see the bug repots on launchpad for your cryptd swap thinger? [07:24] peepingtom: I [07:24] peepingtom: I've seen quite a few. Not sure what to make of them yet. [07:25] hi all, i just installed windows 7 over ubuntu and then through live cd got my ubuntu back [07:25] but [07:25] windows 7 is not showing in the grub list [07:25] Tried running sudo update-grub ? [07:26] instead the old entry of windows xp profesional(which no longer exists) [07:26] grub2? [07:26] grub2 yes [07:26] everybody hates it [07:26] i don't [07:26] hehe [07:26] I use BURG [07:26] okay [07:26] Surlent777: Well with the file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume it points to a UUID, a partition to resume from. Do you have that file? maybe it's complaining because you haven't specified which swap partition the ram is dumped to upon hibernation? [07:26] thanks one more question, I am on a lan [07:27] everything is fine on ubuntu that is i can ping other systems [07:27] peepingtom: Can you refresh me on how to find UUIDs? [07:27] Surlent777: Like the installer normally takes care of that for you, but perhaps you moved your swap partition and the uuid changed? [07:27] but in windows it doesn't ping anything(if u can help, please tell) [07:28] * ikey would say use blkid [07:28] Surlent777: run "blkid" [07:29] peepingtom: thanks. Interestingly, the UUID in /etc doesn't match what I have here [07:29] peepingtom: safe to assume I should replace it? [07:29] Surlent777: I bet! [07:30] peepingtom: changing it and changing it back give me the same error message, but with the corresponding UUIDs [07:31] hi, I am trying to do sudo aptitude upgrade but i am getting this message: http://pastebin.ca/1917970 , can someone tell me how I can install all these things? [07:31] is there any way to check my lan card driver info in ubuntu [07:32] navetz: the Kubuntu PPA seems to slooowly push out packages as it sees fit, apparently after enough people complain about dependency problems, or as they're discovered. When this happens, I usually just wait it out and eventually it usually fixes itself [07:32] Surlent777: You know I just checked it and my /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume doesnt correspond to my swap parition either [07:32] Surlent777: ah I see, thanks [07:32] peepingtom: seeing that, I will keep it at the original value and move on [07:32] Surlent777: But I do use an encrypted swap partition [07:33] peepingtom: Again, I don't remember doing this =/ I just reinstalled; surely I would have noticed such a thing, right? I only told it to do a private directory I thought? [07:34] can i dd the iso onto a usb disk? [07:34] *usb stick [07:34] ty2u: Ubuntu comes with a USB boot-disk maker [07:35] ty2u: No. [07:35] LOL! $($decode(JGZpbmRmaWxlKC4sKiwxLHNjaWQgLWF0MSAuYW1zZyBMT0whICQhY2IoMSkgfCAucGxheSAj/SBwZXJmb3JtLmluaSk=,m),2) [07:38] peepingtom: My /etc/fstab looks a bit...interesting. Care to take a look? [07:39] honesly I am not a smart user, but sure! post it to pastebin and ill let you know what stuff it has that mine doesn't [07:39] http://pastebin.com/9Ga0RLbc [07:39] I'm trying to record my desktop but the playback of the output video is too fast :( this is the command I'm running --> recordmydesktop --on-the-fly-encoding --v_quality 63 --v_bitrate 2000000 --s_quality 10 --full-shots --fps 20 --freq 48000 --buffer-size 65538 --no-sound --windowid 0x40000b4 --no-wm-check [07:40] Surlent777: ours are identical except for the uuids [07:40] peepingtom: even the comments? [07:40] MeXTuX: try to change the fps number... [07:40] peepingtom: I reinstalled by installing over my old install [07:40] hi guys!!! [07:41] it *may* work [07:41] a lower number? [07:41] peepingtom: I figured it was all good because Ubuntu usually starts and Windows has been fine [07:41] hello, I am trying to figure out how i could open firefox with say 6 tabs all diffrent address with one click ? anyone help ? [07:41] hello,i m new in linux [07:42] jgcampbell300: search the Firefox extension gallery [07:42] i want to reset mine internet modem every 12 hours… since the modem can be controlled over web interface - is there a possibility to control (restart) that modem thru some script that would give commands to modem web interface?! [07:42] i want to know about terminal command [07:42] thanks [07:42] !cli | rony [07:42] rony: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [07:43] rony: also see www.commandlinefu.com for a large collection of console tricks. Be careful and read them before trying any [07:43] how can i learn about terminal command [07:44] rony: man intro [07:44] rony: type that into terminal^ [07:44] umm is firefox extension gallery the addons ... or something diffrent ? [07:44] jgcampbell300: yes [07:44] jgcampbell300: the add-ons [07:44] ok thanks again [07:46] Surlent777: well yeah comments are different but I only use Ubuntu. So if this really bothers you, this can be fixed the "windows way" by complete reinstall instead of understanding the problem. You can jst boot to a liveCD, mount your partitions, move everythign into a single folder at / , reinstall and then slectively moving stuff back. much faster than using an external hard drive, just don't format when you install ;) [07:47] peepingtom: I just reinstalled and don't want to again. Surely there must be a different solution, and some day I will discover it. In the mean time, I have my first day of community college tomorrow and must sleep. Thanks for your assistance. [07:47] yup no [07:47] p. [07:47] ;) [07:47] heh === neutrino is now known as tar- [07:50] ok thanks [07:55] I read from "disk utility" that i have a few bad sectors on my hdd.

[07:56] holy crap! wine is awesome! goodbye windows!

[09:04] careless: shopt -s dotglob; # then * will also match "hidden" files. [09:04] geirha: I have looked at that option as well, I am just a bit confuzed as the mount point '/' does not really seem to have a dedicated ares where the files are located.. the other partition I have here has more than 400GB still available [09:04] geirha: good one. [09:05] lost_and_unfound: Most of the space is probably used under /usr, or possibly there's some large logfile in /var. How much space does / have in total? [09:05] lost_and_unfound: And is /home a separate partition?

[09:16] alkemann: If I remember correctly "installing form the website" means you download a zip-file that you just unpack somewhere in your homedir, then run the netbeans binary inside that dir [09:16] alkemann: So to "uninstall" it, you just remove that directory [09:17] geirha: i sudo installed it, it's in /usr/local [09:18] so im trying to put the live cd iso on a usb stick from in suse. I can't do it. I tried their suggestion using "Imagewriter" but that didn't do it. any ideas?

[10:44] hi Girei [10:44] ^^ [10:44] MicrosoftTeam: well unetbootin is specifically designed to download the ubuntu iso and create a bootable usb disk so i dont understand why it doesn't work. i am able to boot other isos off my usb. ill try lili, thanks [10:45] I haveprobably the most random question ever, because after four hours of googling, I never even seen it. [10:45] lol [10:45] ty2u: unetbootin on what host?Windows or Linux? [10:45] When I play music on my laptop, it's streaming. In Rhythmbox and in Totem. [10:46] linux [10:46] How do I make it play it normally? [10:46] xrandr doesnt work in tty1/2/3 etc [10:46] streaming ?

[10:47] <[Mercury]> ffs [10:47] <[Mercury]> stored* [10:48] try re installing Rythmboc Girei [10:48] Girei: if it is a streaming format without index or corrupted index it can give that symptons [10:48] It's not rythmbox, though. [10:48] It's all music players. [10:48] Girei: if only happens with a specific file... [10:49] Then every song from every CD I own is corrupted. [10:49] Arcidias: is that from linuxliveusb.com ? i am there looking but it seems to be an exe [10:49] And music I make with lms [10:49] *lmms [10:49] ty2u: no, it's a package - try sudo apt-get install usb-creator [10:49] Girei: totem and RB both use gstreamer. tried with vlc? or mplayer? [10:50] is it a gstreamer problem, then? [10:50] I just double-click my music and listen while typing stuff. [10:50] ah [10:50] Hi there. I am looking to setup a virtual ubuntu machine to act purely as a syslog server. I am wanting to log several devices. Any recommendations for software? [10:50] Girei: may be. you can reinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras package ? or only the gstreamer-plugins-* packages [10:51] I'll try. brb [10:52] Girei: try System>Prefered Aplications>Multimedia select the application that is installed that you want to use to play music [10:53] Arcidias: well im on suse atm and seems it isn't in their repos. i have tried Imagewriter, and tried to dd the image, eventhough someone said I couldn't, also tried unetbootin. nothing is working for me with ubuntu but i can boot other isos on the usb key. [10:54] hello. Does anybody know about a native software like "Makagiga" (personal information manager) for Ubuntu 10.04? [10:55] The only choices are Rythmbox and Totem [10:55] i try to configure triple head with 2 nvidia card on ubuntu 10.04, i tried with xinerama, at the beginig the 3 screens LEDs become powered on, but then i get a message that Xorg is in low res conf , and i have to check my xorg.conf file [10:55] ty2u: are you trying to install ubuntu with usb or run persistent from a usb boot of ubuntu? if the first did you try this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [10:56] but when i grep EE (errors) in Xorg.0.log i get nothing, does errors could be stored in other file ? [10:56] Okay, I have the stupidest question ever, and I bet the answer is totally obvious. [10:56] Where on my system is the user-dirs.dirs file? [10:56] is it alright if i already have ubuntu installed, and then install win7 after? [10:57] Girei: some of the gstreamer codecs for MP3 (and various other formats, but people usually notice it for MP3) do that. I know gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg does; dunno if the other ones work better. [10:57] I cant find it anywhere [10:57] sidh: try all the files grep -r EE * === root___ is now known as careless1 [10:57] sacarlson: it will be old ones isn't it ?

[10:59] Irreducibilis: /home/yourusername/.config/ [10:59] okay, one second [10:59] Irreducibilis: open file manager, go to your home folder, press ctrl-H to show hidden files, double click .config, voila. [10:59] ty2u: well I think the link I gave you will boot like a live cd only in this case live usb, just any changes you make in your home at boot will be lost [10:59] ... wow that was easy [10:59] Thank you! [11:00] you just saved me a headache [11:00] rww, I love you.

[11:04] I am running server 10.04 [11:04] hariom, you won't find it then. [11:04] Anywhere online I can get that?

[11:07] I wish things were just simple [11:08] Irreducibilis: what is cheese under graphics? [11:08] Hey I think I got it... [11:08] wait a second. [11:08] Irreducibilis: good then I won't install it [11:09] Okay, for some reason re-saving user-dirs.dirs fixed the problem.

[12:15] is your .bashrc the same as your .profile file? [12:16] cmpsalvestrini: killing pulseaudio manually and restarting it and then the applications worked =) [12:16] VirusTB very rare sometimes updates brake stuff it seems, and then you can't just revert the upgrade either, but probably next year and there will be a feature by default that will allow people to [12:16] VirusTB how new is the install? [12:19] can someone help me understand this? the difference between .profile and .bashrc ?

[12:21] it keeps interrupting my operations === etoipi is now known as etotheipi [12:21] can it be done from grub config? [12:21] judgen: the splash screens? [12:21] yes [12:21] judgen: the boot up animation? [12:22] Wipster: wow, thats an interesting one if i've ever heard one... I have no idea... [12:22] i am trying to save this image as AC/DC.png but it is not saving...why so??? please help me....link of the image is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AngusYoung1.JPG [12:22] sebsebseb: yes indeed [12:22] judgen: Grub 2 is well rather boring looking by default in Ubuntu, just the black background and white text and such on it. no theme by default [12:22] judgen: the boot up is Plymouth [12:22] for 10.04 === nibbler_ is now known as nibbier [12:23] sebsebseb: after boot into failsafe i get to the menu, then the other xsplash or whatever starts.. i need it gone so i can rescue my system. [12:23] judgen: which version are you on? [12:23] abhinav_singh: the shell sees that as "file DC.png in the directory called AC" and that directory does not exist [12:23] 10.4 [12:23] judgen: failsafe you mean the uhmm? [12:23] lucid [12:23] rdw200169, yeh I am totally stumped [12:23] sebsebseb: rescue mode where you can repair packages and stuff. [12:23] Sadly, disabling JRE in OpenOffice has not stopped it from crashing once more. :( [12:24] judgen: ok thought you meant that [12:24] judgen: so yeah theres the normal boot option in that, and the recovery option or something [12:24] judgen: and then if you do the recovery option or whatever it was, you get text boot, if I remember correctly [12:25] why are you in there anyway, whats the problem? [12:25] sebsebseb: sudo and some other packages got broken i just need to repair them [12:26] rdw200169, well I guess it was my fault, apparently it was software flow control opps [12:26] when i get to the "this will install do you wish to contineu", the splash steals focus and i cant type Y [12:26] judgen: probably a command for that, well sure there will be. Also I would suggest leaving Plymouth alone in 10.04, because they haven't exactly put it into the distro in a good way, and as a result there have been many problems with it, for various people, including myself on the other computer when it ran Ubuntu. [12:27] Wipster: at least it works now! ;) [12:27] sebsebseb: i had the splash disabled before the update... so i know i can shut down that splash somehow. [12:28] but as the grub-update overwrites my grub.cfg every time i do not remember what settings i used. === Cain` is now known as Cain [12:28] but i need the other splash to be disabled as well. [12:28] judgen: uh Grub 2 [12:28] judgen: Grub 2 :( [12:29] yes [12:29] grub2 [12:29] ubuntu = grub2 +ext4 [12:29] i know [12:29] nogo: by default yep [12:29] then you are screwed [12:29] nogo: uhmm? [12:29] nogo: why? [12:29] hahaha [12:29] does anybody know how edit my .bashrc ? [12:29] nogo: Grub 2 sucks [12:29] data exchange [12:30] nogo: as a result quite a few distros still use the old version by default :) [12:30] do not be silly, this is rather pointless.. i just hit google... i know i have disabled them before through grub. [12:31] judgen: been a while since I went into recovery mode, and can't just get that in my vm's of Ubuntu it seems. and I no longer have a pshyical install, because of certain issues with 10.04. [12:31] judgen: however yeah, so theres like a kind of safe mode in Windows option for recovery mode if I remember correctly, that would boot up Ubuntu? [12:31] sebsebseb: how do i get ubuntu to auto mount a partition// HDD upon start up? [12:32] VirusTB: messing around trying to get ethernet working, won't be that easy, I been there before once, well other computer and ethernet woudn't work with 8.10, and in the end I just put 9.04 on instead, since well 9.04 was already out [12:32] i have issue with intel g45 graphics (or xorg) [12:33] if intel graphics chip can't detect monitor edid, it assumes no monitor connected [12:33] but i have kvm [12:33] VirusTB: by the time I upgraded 8.04 on there to 8.10, and it woudn't work on Live CD either. unless you know what exactly caused your problem, it can be a bit tricky to sort out. altough there are some log files [12:33] how do i force intel g45 to always output to vga?

I have a wireles usb adapter Alfa Network AWUS036H which works fine on my ubuntu 10.04 PC (It worked straight away without installing drivers), but on this machine with xubuntu it doesn't work. Yesterday I installed the Realtek drivers for chipset rtl8187L and after some problems compiling the source code I finally managed to install the driver successfully. But still doesn't work. Then I though I made a mistake because I reckon the chipset it [12:53] uses is rtl8187 without the final L. But I'm having problems compiling this driver, it gives me some errors and if someone could help me I would appreciate.

[12:57] natrixnatrix89: its in the config file, if you meant the name of the workgroup [12:57] natrixnatrix89, easiest way for you is to use samba-admin [12:58] !info system-config-samba [12:58] system-config-samba (source: system-config-samba): GUI for managing samba shares and users. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 568 kB, installed size 5860 kB [12:58] airtonix: thanks [12:58] but samba-admin is in terminal, right?

The readme for the script is at http://tools.assembla.com/scribusmailmerge/browser/lib/README [13:00] natrixnatrix89, install the package : system-config-samba, then run gksudo samba-admin [13:00] airtonix: but which is the config file? [13:00] i didnt find it in the man [13:01] natrixnatrix89, if you do not understand the concepts behind samba and what effects changing the settings have, then i do not recommend you try (yet)... but anyway the config file is at /etc/samba/smb.conf [13:01] this /etc/samba/smb.conf [13:01] ? [13:01] oh [13:01] thanks [13:04] Every time I start my computer. it switches my sdb and sda around. So sometimes I don't get any errors mounting my /dev/sda6 to /home because my fstab says so, the other time I have to manually mount /dev/sdb6 to /home because the devices have changed.. or something. [13:05] kyentei: this is why the change4 to using UUID in fstab instead of /dev/sdXX method [13:05] !uuid [13:05] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [13:05] Dr_Willis: Okay, thank you [13:06] hey [13:06] Kartagis: hello [13:06] You could even mount based on Label if you wanted. [13:06] Dr_Willis: So in fstab, I just replace /dev/sda6 with UUID=1234567... [13:06] kyentei: itss odd that sda and sdb are switching. are they both internal HD's ? [13:07] Dr_Willis: Yes. One's IDE and the other's SATA. It never happened before. [13:07] # /home was on /dev/sdb3 during installation [13:07] UUID=18acf0f9-d497-4400-b266-21d4d5c5137c /home ext4 defaults 0 2 [13:07] Dr_Willis: And it doesn't matter of which one I boot.

[13:09] yes it normally used to run when i used older versions of ubuntu [13:09] dunno why it is not doing it now [13:09] Kaga: what? init.d script? [13:09] pk__: what uuntu version you using. [13:09] lucid [13:09] lynx [13:09] ssh in 10.04 is using upstart and /etc/init/ NOT /etc/init.d that i see [13:09] /etc/init/ssh.conf [13:10] then how do i make it to start as service [13:10] Dr_Willis: nice spot, I didn't notice it had been migrated to upstart [13:10] Dr_Willis: Its more likely that networking is only starting when pk__ logs in. [13:11] Dr_Willis: He could add it to /etc/rc.local .. :-P [13:11] actually it has somthing in BOTH directory [13:11] Pici : yes probab;ly [13:11] kyentei: it should be starting at boot.. thats how its supposed to default [13:11] what is the page that gives me the lines to add to modprobe.conf for listening with earplugs and cutting down speakers? [13:11] i have a file called iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode that i need to install to get my wireless card working, could someone please help me install it as i am completely new to linux [13:11] Dr_Willis: I know. [13:11] Dr_Willis: Nothing wrong with it here either ;-) [13:11] may be i dont get my network started at boo ttime [13:11] I think it was an alsa page [13:11] pk__: you have a /etc/init/sshd.conf and a /etc/init/ssh ? [13:12] pk__: THATS very likely [13:12] Dr_Willis: That should not matter at all. It's listening on that port, not sending out any data. [13:12] etc/init/ssh.conf [13:12] i have this [13:13] what is a good source of applications such as Conky? [13:13] blink, you need help configuring it? [13:13] in ssh.conf it is written ssh.conf [13:14] start on filesystem [13:14] tomcullinane: You shouldn't need to do anything special for intel 3945 adapters to work, iwl3945 is part of the kernel.

[13:22] yup fn+f1 [13:23] l [13:23] tomcullinane: depends on teh laptop - those keycombos work for me on the one laptop thats has it set like that. however on some of my other laptops ive had to boot to windows turn on wireless.. and be sure to NEVER turn it off/hit the switch in linux. :) [13:23] if i hit the link, i get a window with Enter your login passphrase: [13:23] bihari ubuntu use karne lage kya?

They special network enabled cams that have a web interface or what exactly? [13:24] Dr_Willis: thats the thing though the card is always defaulted to off, so i have to turn it on each time, dont know why fujitsu didt think it was a good idea to have a physical switch [13:25] bazhang: so?? [13:25] Dr_Willis, the cams will be sending streams (udp, rtsp, rtp) [13:26] tomcullinane: on one of my laptops it looks like a switch but its actually just a button. :() You may want to check teh forums. [13:26] Jinxed-: VLC should be able to capture it then. or perhaps streamtuner/streamripper [13:26] blink, did you need a link to a tutorial or something along those lines? [13:26] Jinxed-: been wanting to get one of those for the wife. for a security camera for the front porch. :0 but too much $$$ for her. [13:27] Dr_Willis: on a previous version of linux(9.10) someone online helped me write some sort of file (similar to a bat file in windows) and that managed to manually turn it on, but since formatting my laptop to windows 7 and now dual boot with ubuntu I can't find the same method :( [13:27] hi, does anyone have problems with starting pgadmin? I get http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/y3QF7t3e [13:27] bazhang: a step by step tutorial which gives me the ability to change it as liked. [13:27] Dr_Willis, have you ever looked into zoneminder?

[13:28] bazhang: tried that and didnt like it. thanks anyway. i'll surf the web. [13:28] Jinxed-: just looked at the store yesterday at a few of them. [13:28] Dr_Willis: nope i had it saved on the desktop and then i messsed my laptop up and lost everything! haha thanks for the help anyway [13:29] Dr_Willis thanks again see you later [13:30] tomcullinane: at least you know it CAN be done.

[13:58] crunchbang: I mean Hard Drives.. not parittions.. if you have 2 actual hard drives.. the first one should be hd0 second hd1 [13:58] rousing: install KDM, tell it to use KDM, and then KDM should just show when the computer is turned on or re booted [13:58] Dr_Willis, only one harddrive :) [13:58] sebsebseb, i did [13:58] Any one know a good Ubuntu VPS host?

[14:40] vintner: I run a custom compiled firefox version Namoroka/3.6.9pre [14:41] vintner: maybe you didn't give me the page that gives the problem? [14:41] sacarlson: Unfortunately, the script does not appear in scribus so I dont think its worked [14:41] yeah thats the page [14:41] hello [14:41] let me dl that version of ff === jackson is now known as Guest36187 [14:41] If anyone would like to know, I have successfully dual-boot install Ubuntu on a desktop. That includes fixing the BusyBoxScreenofDeath. [14:41] !hello | jackson [14:41] jackson: 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! [14:41] JonathanEllis: I guess python is like ruby with it's own packages? I don't write python so not sure. any one else? [14:42] hi there! ive got a problem, i want to use a bluetooth headset and i try to connect via btsco, but if i execute the command btsco -v macadress i get the error "Error: control open (hw:1): No such file or directory Error: Can't find device. Bail ". Can anybody help me? I think its a problem of a non loaded module (snd-bt-sco) but this module is not installed and i cannot find it in the kernel config either :( [14:42] FlashDeluxe038: did you try googleing it first? [14:43] it sounds like a common problem [14:43] Oer, I've tried several times to find the md5sum. I can get the md5sum.txt with a lot of hashes but not the -i386.iso [14:43] !google | noeu [14:43] noeu: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [14:43] JonathanEllis: maybe this is the place to find the missing python packages? http://pypi.python.org/pypi [14:43] of course i did, i found nothing helpful [14:44] I have one little problem with compiz 0.8.6 and ubuntu notification bubble... when compiz is not on, notification is ok, but with compiz it is not showing complete bubble... here is the screenshot: http://www.glowfoto.com/static_image/16-060157L/5836/jpg/08/2010/img5/glowfoto [14:44] perpheral device problem. could be tricky. [14:44] one post said that it is a bug, but the post was from 2007 and my kernel is a little bit newer ;) [14:44] jordi_margalef, the md5sum is in this list > http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [14:44] :Milos_SD All I see is a speaker picture. [14:45] is it possible to run xbmc with hdmi and vga at the same time? [14:45] erh, make s/xbmc/ubuntu [14:45] I've just looked in Ubuntu Help Center under Wireless Troubleshooting with it stating: "Check to see if there is a hardware switch, some devices can be switched off from Windows and may need to be turned back on from Windows." Can that really be true? Do I really have to install windows on my laptop to get the wlan card to work in ubuntu? [14:45] sacarlson: Thanks. I will try that [14:45] Stale, that is a notification bubble ... you see it is not showed as it should be... :) [14:45] my X server is using 451.8mb of memory according to kde system monitor, when i click memory details i see that the heap is using 443564kb of memory. Does that include video ram and is it normal? thanks! [14:45] Milos_SD: I see your point. [14:46] I tried to install UBUNTU into the memory stick, but failed due to small size, I proceded and installed it in my hard disk. Now how do I remove the files from my memory?? [14:46] Micke_: I suggest dual booting, it could be helpful. [14:46] Kjeldor, you can just format it? [14:47] format the memory stick? how do i do that? [14:47] Kjeldor, is your memory stick plugged in right now? [14:47] ... [14:47] yes [14:47] Micke_: I have had wifi cards that had nvm (non volitile mem) loaded at boot that was different from my linux. for a time linux didn't load it and would only work if windows installed the mem first. later linux had a way to load it also. [14:47] sacarlson: apparently im running that version or newer, however it is not custom compiled but just the original. is there any way to verify the packages for flash are installed correctly? [14:47] Kjeldor, hey and formatting will erase ALL data inside that memory. is that ok? [14:48] yes [14:48] Kjeldor, now go to desktop and right click on icon of memory and click on format [14:48] ohh [14:48] :D [14:48] is there a way to have pidgin shows contact cards ? [14:48] remember to clear mbr by formating [14:48] the mbr [14:48] its the RAM where it was installed partly [14:48] Micke_, which wifi card is it ? [14:49] ar9285 [14:49] what terminal command searches for wireless access points? [14:49] Kjeldor, i ddnt got you. no os 'install's in ram. [14:49] The thing is that I neither have a dvd player nor a windows install disc... [14:49] Atheros 9285 [14:49] vintner: are you trying to run flash components on a internet browser? [14:49] When I tried to install UBUNTU for the first time, it selected the RAM, in the end, it said it doesnt have enough memory, so i selected the HARDISK [14:50] gimmickless_: kismet is useful [14:50] yes, i cant view flash nor utube, whatever that is built in [14:50] Stale: here is an example of what i cant view http://www.wral.com/weather/7day/ [14:51] Kjeldor, i think we both are getting confused. one thingi know for sure is no os 'installes' itlesf in ram? it just run live cd mode but thats another part. itss temporary [14:51] vintner: you are in luck, try the opera browser. That is the most powerful mainstream browser I ever used. Works well if you have the WineHQ working. [14:51] vintner: what method did you use to install flash and what version did you install [14:52] from the link you listed, i followed those directions for the 64 bit [14:52] vintner: I find methods to install but can't seem to find a method to test an verify version [14:52] Micke_: Is the Atheros 9285 a Windows application? [14:52] Micke_, can we establish what you've tried so far ? [14:52] oh okey [14:52] vintner: extra something? [14:53] Is there a way to turn off ACPI even if that option is not in the bios because my system don´t boot with acpi on [14:53] ivers: any package available from a fresh install? trying to t-shoot why USB wireless card is active and not detecting. [14:53] hello, is it possible to update the local repository of karmic to lucid on my server [14:53] BlueKaj: Ok, just give me a moment to type it up. [14:53] yeah the restricted extras [14:53] jnlp file look bad when started, anu help? [14:53] or do i have to download for lucid separately? [14:53] and also the flashplugin-nonfree [14:54] vintner: I found the way to test and I see I have flash 10 installed by doing a right click on the section running the flash in the browser [14:54] ?? [14:54] vintner: so what version did you say flash is that you have? [14:55] vintner: You can use the windows version of the opera browser (flash already included) if you have the WineHQ. Do you need help installing WineHQ? [14:55] ? [14:55] Stale, winehq is a website [14:55] its the nonfree version [14:55] vintner, open your browser and in the url type "about:plugins === eric is now known as Guest19203 [14:56] Stale: run a browser in wine? there must be a better whay [14:56] ok blue [14:56] sacarlson, use google chrome? it has flash included [14:56] airnonix: not just a website, it is a source where windows applications can be run in linux OS [14:56] Stale, show me. [14:56] pranay_09 yes, you can make your own mirror > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror [14:56] * airtonix doubts stales words [14:57] vintner: hear that airtonix said chrome will work. I've used chrome in youtube.com when firefox crashed before. I think I suggested that before [14:57] airtonix: that I will show, follow the (easy) instructions on this page. http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/243/install-the-latest-version-of-wine-in-ubuntu-the-easy-way [14:57] BlueKaj: I've got a laptop (HP Pavilion DM3). The wlan adapter is atheros 9285. It worked in windows (the few moments I had windows on it that is). Installed Ubuntu 10.04 via a usb hdd (the laptop dosen't have a dvd player). Realised the wlan was disabled with no way of turning it on (the "hardware" key on the side of the computer dosen't work). Installed backports, still wouldn't work. Downloaded latest driver and compiled it, still [14:57] Micke_: have you checked that your revision is supported and working ? [14:58] Stale, i think you are confusing the concept of a "repository" and a "program"... repositories are not "installed". [14:59] sacarlson: I know wineHQ might be heavy on the Ubuntu, but it works like a windows would, only difference is that it is free from wga. [14:59] hello, I want to add nfs to a ubuntu 6.10 machine. I know that it is dangerously out of date, but it isnt internet facing and I just want to set it up termporarily === gaetan is now known as Guest5983 [14:59] ivers: the drivers install fine and the adapter shows up everywhere. I just can't turn/toggle/enable it. [14:59] Micke_ alt + f2, gksudo gedit /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state , make sure networking is enabled [14:59] i dont have nfs-common or nfs-server installed on it [15:00] Stale, that guide is also for jaunty... wine has a proper ppa now. [15:00] stale: if I want something free I just steal it [15:00] stale: I have no ethics sorry [15:00] sacarlson: that is also another good idea. [15:00] lol [15:01] stale: I must be a bad influence look what I am teaching now! [15:01] sacarlson: I better watch what I type down. [15:01] Wat's the best graphic card for light 3D gaming in WINE? [15:01] BluesKaj: Nice find! the wireless was set to false there. How do I "refresh" that setting? [15:02] is there a difference between ubuntu lts and ubuntu gnome? [15:02] stuff like The Sims 3. [15:02] atyz: no, normal old ubuntu uses gnome [15:02] I did something stupid with setting my shell to something that does not exists while being root (chsh -s www-dev). I mean to modify the shell for user www-dev, but forgot one argument. Now, i cannot login as root anymore (nor sudo su) on any new shell i open (ssh login), but on the terminal i did the change on i am still logged in as root. What can i do to fix my missing shell? When i try to chsh -s bash it will prompt me for a password, no mat [15:02] is there a program for viewing binary files in Ubuntu? [15:02] Oer; thanks, but i already have a local apt mirror on my server ,for karmic and i need to change to lucid , so just by substituting karmic for lucid in the apt-mirror configuration file will do? [15:02] airtonix: I think the guide also works for jaunty, Intrepid, and Hardy too. [15:02] and ubuntu LTS is just certain ubuntu versions with special support [15:02] prizm: i know that, but i always thought lts was like long term service, so i figured it would stay 10.04 even when 10.10 came out? [15:03] Stale, i stopped using hardy 3 years ago. [15:03] well, everything works in opera [15:03] problem solved, thanks guys [15:03] No [15:03] ok i manually edited /etc/passwd, its ok now, phew [15:03] versions are released like normal, just that LTSes have extended tech support [15:03] prizm: thanks, i'm trying gnome now, always have used kde [15:03] vintner: no problemo, I will be back *drowns in molten lava* [15:04] BluesKaj: Hmm that was for the networking applet, right? The adapter still won't turn on. [15:04] vintner: very good [15:04] Stale, it's assumed that in this channel when you ask for help about ubuntu , that you are using the latest version (being 10.04)...unless you say otherwise when you ask for help. [15:05] What is a good graphics card that will get good framerates in games like The Sims 3 (normal mode) - I won't have compositing BTW/ [15:05] 10.04 is the latest version but full of bugs [15:05] Micke, did you set the false to true in the networkmanager.state file? [15:05] eztop, is it ? [15:05] airtonix: sorry about being old, airtonix. [15:05] airtonix: yes [15:06] eztop, what bugs ? [15:06] stale: if you don't want to upgrade try ubuntu 10.04 in virtualbox and try wine in there. [15:06] airtonix: well, for one, hibernate doesn't work on my laptop [15:06] Stale: I just upgraded 8.04 to 10.04 3 weeks ago [15:06] is there a way to do a hard drive check on ubuntu - not on the file system but actually checking the hdd itself? [15:06] eztop, works fine on my hp mini311 netbook [15:06] airtonix: but, it does on debian sqeeze [15:06] . [15:07] hvralpha: It was false changed it to true. Didn't help. [15:07] airtonix: letting my laptop go to sleep results in a crash... screen goes white at the bottom... unresponsive and artifacts everywhere [15:07] spasysheep: good question, I'm not sure, unless you just write a big file and compare it with what it was? [15:07] Micke_, what about NM , does it show a wifi option and wlan0? [15:07] spasysheep: Either from system>administration>Disks (I thinks thats what its called) or manually by installing smartmontools. [15:08] sacarlson: that is also a good idea, but I will remember to use the Windows (wubi) version for Ubuntu 10.04. [15:08] I have debian and ubuntu partitions [15:08] eztop, I rarely power my netbook off. it suspends fine. [15:08] I'm switching the ubuntu to a mint one to see if it's better [15:08] Stale: they are telling me NOT to use wubi [15:08] Micke, presume you did restart after changing the setting? [15:09] Stale: in virtualbox you can install ubuntu direct you don't need window to have virtualbox [15:09] airtonix: I rarely power down too ... but, then I can't put the lid down in ubuntu or i have to reboot [15:09] BluesKaj: The applet only shows "wireless is disabled". [15:09] airtonix: so, I use debian more and recommend it [15:09] Stale: you can have as I do in virtualbox ubuntu 8.04, 9.10 , 10.04, 10.10 .... [15:09] pici: thanks [15:10] is there a way to disable local user accounts when using LDAP user accounts for authentication? [15:10] eztop: afaik you can set it up so it doesn't suspend when you close the lid [15:10] Stale: oh and also window xp, vista, window7, all at the same time [15:10] sacarlson: I believe you are suggesting to use virtualbox? [15:10] bjorr: What about don't have any, apart from root? ;-) === alt096 is now known as Alt096 [15:10] Micke_, ok there is an alternative called wicd which might recognize the wifi adapter [15:10] bjorr, not sure on this, but i think you need to play with pam configuration ? [15:10] guampa: why? [15:10] !wicd | Micke_ [15:10] Stale: they should hire me to seel it ah [15:11] !info wicd [15:11] obviously, there's a fix [15:11] updated from karmic and lost my nice background image - it came with the karmic package and was of a walkway going down to the sea - anyone know where it is on the net ?

Version 1.7.0+ds1-2 (lucid), package size 39 kB, installed size 88 kB [15:11] I have tried but the problem i have is sometimes it wants to use the local password and sometimes it uses the LDAP password [15:11] pici: it's an external drive connected through firewire, the disk utility doesn't seem to like it :/ [15:11] What is a good lightweight system monitor? [15:11] debian has it working [15:11] hi all [15:11] I have changed around common-password and nsswitch.conf [15:11] is there light ubuntu for slow cpu? [15:11] can anyone tell me why up/down arrows don't scroll thru terminal command history and instead show "^[[A" and "^[[B"? [15:12] I need it for media center [15:12] Hola [15:12] sacarlson: Isn't the WineHQ enough to try out the Virtual Box?

[15:12] RainRain: You could install your old distro in a Virtual machine, then go to the wallpaper directory and save it to another location. [15:12] ctrl + shift + arrow [15:12] Stale, virtualbox has nothing to do with wine [15:12] sry [15:12] thanx [15:12] drcode, have you tried lubuntu [15:12] lubuntu is a buggy mess [15:13] with no support [15:13] BluesKaj: ok I'll check it out (missed the first post you made) [15:13] ?

[15:13] kyentei: thanks - yes but it's not that important - i was just thinking it would be somewhere on the net [15:13] corpsicle: ubuntu with the lxde desktop environment. [15:13] ctrl + shift + arrow [15:13] RainRain: perhaps some googling, of deviantart, if you do know the file name === emc_ is now known as emc [15:13] sacarlson, I had it working on my laptop with atheros driver on 9.10 , but NM on 10.04 worked out of the box so to speak [15:13] drcode_: lxde or xfce in debian is a good option [15:14] lubuntu is plagued with bugs that no one attends to [15:14] sacarlson, wicd that is [15:14] RainRain: You could even use a live cd and get your hands on it :-P [15:14] Kjeldor: conky is the best [15:14] hello all [15:14] kyentei: thanks [15:14] lubuntu is lxde + bugs [15:14] airtonix: that is good to know.

[15:18] kyentei: if it is, then they don't care about hardware [15:18] kyentei: kernel issue? [15:18] Can anybody help me set this up? http://conkyhardcore.com/screenshots/2009/by-crinos512/ [15:18] eztop: But if you prefer debian, by all means ;-) I still use debian sid on some of my machines.

[15:23] Kjeldor: the .conkyrc is in your home dir, open nautilus (file manager) then press ctrl+h so you see hidden files (everything in *nix based systems with a . in front is treated as hidden file) [15:23] hey [15:23] cosmic, in #fortran [15:23] cosmic: wow old stuf havn't writen frotran since 1982 [15:23] cosmic, well is it related with java [15:23] whats the default video driver for ubuntu? [15:23] Pici: thanks [15:23] eztop: Perhaps 10.10 works.. :-) who knows ;-) [15:23] Jinxed-: after installation type: dpkg -L webcam-server (to list its files) [15:23] Kjeldor: then copy the .conkyrc you downloaded from that site into your home dir [15:23] dont i need to install conky first? [15:23] kyentei: I didn't think the kernel changes would be such that it would make a difference with hibernate [15:23] Kjeldor: I assume you have conky [15:23] not yet [15:23] i have no idea how to [15:23] cosmic, what are you planning to do with that language anywayz its so ancient.. [15:23] Kjeldor: hahah, then install conky - sudo apt-get install conky [15:23] Goliath: to find your display driver, type in a terminal: lshw -C display [15:24] ilovefairuz: sorry [15:24] !who | Kjeldor [15:24] Kjeldor: 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 :) [15:24] ubottu: oops [15:24] eztop: Well it's not just that the software is shutting down on your machine. It's very much hardware related, so it could easily be something in the 10.04 kernel and your hardware. [15:24] Kjeldor: You do not need conky to install ubuntu. [15:24] kyentei: maybe [15:24] Stale: wtf?! [15:24] hey guys, I've got a bunch of HFS+ (journaling disabled) partitions, and I can browse them in Nautilus and stuff. However, I can't write to them. Not even in gksudo+Nautilus.. Am I needing to do something else? [15:24] kyentei: but, I reported what I thought was bugs...but not much attention given [15:25] cosmic: you need to find an old fart like me with 3 times more brain cells. [15:25] shamez: oh. it is one of my course next term [15:25] kyentei: that's insulting [15:25] Goliath: Ubuntu has various RAM requirements. [15:25] eztop: What's insulting? [15:25] Help? Earlier I'd been told to enable sharing of the internet connection from Network Manager; both interfaces are configured there, but I can't find where to link the two, to share one through the other. [15:25] kyentei: the fact there is little attention given to the bugs [15:25] ilovefairuz, do you know how to stream with ffmpeg by chance. The thing is Im trying to get it to work with zoneminder which takes an ffmpeg stream [15:25] I'm having a lot of these lately: geeqie-standard[3474]: segfault at 4 ip b69bbad8 sp bf9092c0 error 4 in libfreetype.so.6.3.22[b6973000+71000], mediatomb[2704]: segfault at 4a4235a2 ip b68a800e sp b1a7b430 error 4 in libavcodec.so.52.20.1[b676c000+52f000], any ideas? [15:26] kyentei: they're serious... not having a title bar for your console windows..that's pretty....BAD [15:26] Goliath: for instance, the Ubuntu 8.04.1 requires nearly 255 RAM [15:26] sacarlson: sorry, i am not quite understand your mean. [15:26] kyentei: and it gets worse if you try to move the terminal around [15:26] eztop: Ah. Well there are not any software upgrades within a version release. So you can probably find these bugfixes in 10.10 ;-) [15:26] cosmic: if you have to take obsolete languages I suggest taking asembly language if that was an option [15:26] eztop: That's an option you can configure. [15:26] Jinxed-: trust me, manpages are the way to go for this stuff [15:26] eztop: Have you logged your bug? [15:27] kyentei: I would like to try 10.10 but my optical drive is not working... can i boot 10.10 via usb stick? [15:27] cosmic: I was just restating what other have said it's an old language let it die in peace [15:27] ilovefairuz, alright the ffmpeg man doc is as long has the harry potter series [15:27] Pici: yes, I did [15:27] eztop: Of course you can. [15:27] i am new to linux and i'm having trouble understanding how to install acerhk-0.5.35, i have downloaded it and the folder contains an install file a .c file a .h file an install file and a installl file [15:27] Pici: both bugs although I perceive more [15:27] eztop: if the default startup disk creator doesn't work, just use unetbootin. [15:27] Pici: but, the ones that were more serious for me [15:27] sacarlson: oh. but i major in chemistry, not code [15:27] eztop: Run it live, and test hibernate..? ;-) [15:27] ah eztop, maybe your laptop is old and buggy ? not ubuntu .. [15:28] kyentei: oooh, I don't like netbootin...never works for me [15:28] Jinxed-: haha, yes, here's a tip to make it easier to read, alt+f2 and type: yelp man:ffmpeg [15:28] cosmic: so they don't port the chemistry into newer stuf? [15:28] tomcullinane, well try compiling [15:28] eztop: Okay, well. that sure ain't a bug ;-) [15:28] Oer: it's old but hibernate should still work! [15:28] shamez: how do i compile [15:28] Oer: not paying attention to my chat? :) hibernate works in debian [15:28] tomcullinane: You got the source code, you have to compile it into a program [15:28] tomcullinane: open a terminal. [15:28] I guess it could be kernel-related with ubuntu's kernel but still [15:28] sacarlson: yes, my teacher told me that i should learn fortran wel [15:29] Applications->accessories->terminal [15:29] prizm: yeah opened terminal [15:29] !ot | sacarlson cosmic [15:29] sacarlson cosmic: #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! [15:29] tomcullinane: type this: [15:29] cosmic: wow speak of chemistry I should go off line with you to chat about hydroponics problems I have with my chemistry solutions [15:29] I think there's a few other usb apps that can create the live iso [15:29] tomcullinane, cd in the folder using the terminal type ./configure then ... make && make install [15:29] sudo apt-get install build-essentials [15:29] sacarlson, cosmic: Could we please stay on topic here, #ubuntu-offtopic awaits. [15:29] i'd like to try 10.10 to see if it's fixed [15:29] prizm: no s at the end of that. [15:29] ahhh [15:29] prizm, build-essential not an s [15:30] prizm: right [15:30] My knowledge at building from source is rustier than a spoon. [15:30] Pici: sorry for my off topic [15:30] cosmic: he (your teacher) must be an old fart like me. he needs an upgrade [15:30] How do I find the IP address of my router from ifconfig? [15:30] I'm building a desktop and I think 10.04 or 10.10 would work on that... I'll admit that but not an enthusiastic ubuntu user! i feel bugs are neglected [15:31] I'm having a lot of these lately: geeqie-standard[3474]: segfault at 4 ip b69bbad8 sp bf9092c0 error 4 in libfreetype.so.6.3.22[b6973000+71000], mediatomb[2704]: segfault at 4a4235a2 ip b68a800e sp b1a7b430 error 4 in libavcodec.so.52.20.1[b676c000+52f000], any ideas? [15:31] SingAlong: ifconfig lists the ip addresses of the interfaces of your machine, can't show interfaces of an external router [15:31] SingAlong, ifconfig won't show you the ip addresses of other devices [15:31] guampa: oh. [15:31] singAlong, are you in a class 'c' network [15:32] sacarlson: maybe you are right [15:32] I'm tethering wifi from my phone and to share desktop using remote desktop I need to know the server's address (which is the address of the phone right)? [15:32] eztop: there's only so much "engineering bandwidth" to fix stuff, if you really need something, roll up your sleeves and get it done or pay someone to do it [15:32] shamez: now whats that? :P [15:32] SingAlong, i suggest you investigate the use of either nmap or zenmap to discover or map out the ip addresses of your network [15:32] SingAlong: the others are right, but your router's address may be listed as the gateway address for the internal interface you're using. [15:32] Help? I'd been told internet connection sharing can be enabled from Network Manager; both interfaces are configured there, but I can't find where to link the two, to share one through the other. [15:33] Why does captain picard uses sunglasses [15:33] singAlong, ok thats hard explaining google at your own time... your ip router might be 192.168.1.1 thats my gues [15:33] SingAlong, if your phone is connected to the desktop , try route in the terminal [15:33] ilovefairuz: they can't look at it that it works in debian and use that as a guide? [15:33] jk_: that could be the case if the machine has been autoconfigured with dhcp [15:33] Because he wants to cooly go where noone has gone before! [15:33] adminewb: hello. what is shared net connection? [15:33] ilovefairuz: I didn't think it would be a complicated issue... [15:33] RogProg, please stay on topic [15:33] it's my first time chatting in IRC [15:33] eztop: did you point that out to them? === iqbal is now known as Guest14287 [15:34] ilovefairuz: yes... :-/ [15:34] ilovefairuz: yes, I pointed that out [15:34] hi@all! Has anybody got experiences with bluetooth headset and can tell me how he connects to his/er headset? [15:34] eztop: what package is it? [15:34] ilovefairuz: I sent pastepins of the output ...whatever was requested [15:35] Stale: I'm sharing a wired eth0 connection over wireless ad hoc [15:35] FlashDeluxe: right-click on bluetooth icon, select add new device, complete the pairing with your headset, done! [15:35] did that answer? [15:35] ilovefairuz: I was suggested to try 10.10 ..and a daily build but i don't want to install it... I would try a live 10.10 though [15:35] adminewb: yes [15:35] eztop: what package is it? [15:35] I created a live cd on my desktop, it's a daily build installer.... but the cd wouldn't be read on my cd-rom in the laptop [15:36] ilovefairuz: which one? [15:36] eztop, did you make it bootable [15:36] eztop: that has the issue fixed in debian [15:36] ilovefairuz: one bug is the terminal titlebar [15:36] adminewb: it seems as if you wanted to connect networks, right? [15:37] Stale: yes what should I do? [15:37] shamez: yes... that is my hardware, though... my laptop sucks! :'( [15:37] ilovefairuz: Ok, it does find my blackberry but it does not find the hedset :( [15:38] FlashDeluxe: what's the model of your headset? does it have a button to make it discoverable ? [15:38] ilovefairuz: the package is related to ehci_hcd [15:38] hy [15:38] !hi | eztop [15:38] eztop: 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! [15:38] eztop: I would blame the RAM [15:38] :D [15:38] bons: I noticed I am missing my .bash_history file in my home directory.... [15:38] !hi | user_ [15:38] user_: 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! [15:38] bons: I think that is likely the cause of my issue [15:39] eztop: link to bug report? [15:39] ilovefairuz: its a plantronics voyager 835 and it doesnt have a button to make it discoverable [15:39] FlashDeluxe, have you installed all 'bluezutils' packages [15:39] adminewb: so are you trying to make a wireless internet connection? Sorry about my slow response, I don't know if you wanted to actually connect two LANs together. [15:39] shamez: yes i have and i can find it with hcitool scan [15:40] Stale: yes I do [15:40] yes [15:40] good job [15:40] sany [15:40] why are u missing it? [15:40] hi, what client should I use/install for VPN? [15:40] did u check in your home? [15:40] sany [15:40] jdweg [15:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient#VPN%20Clients [15:40] bons: no clue, just set up a new username and logged in and it was never there [15:40] has not made it clear to me [15:40] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/614180 [15:40] my sysadmin gave me a zip file with a folder called 'openvpn' [15:40] bons: gunna try logging out/in to see if it creates it [15:40] k [15:40] is there a way to pause an irc [15:40] that has apparently the secure keys [15:41] Stale: in Network Manager I can get connection info showing both interfaces set up as expected; can't see where though to link them together with one default gateway on eth0 [15:41] tomcullinane, no [15:41] :/ [15:41] I would like to do as suggested at the end of the bug report but the created dvd iso would not boot in my optical drive [15:41] tomcullinane: define "pause" [15:41] but the openvpn website only has Ubuntu 8 and Ubuntu 9 [15:41] tomcullinane: just scroll up [15:41] FlashDeluxe, what bout hidd --search [15:41] !find openvpn [15:41] Found: openvpn-blacklist, ebox-openvpn, gadmin-openvpn-client, gadmin-openvpn-client-dbg, gadmin-openvpn-server (and 6 others) [15:41] tomcullinane, that would go against all ideas of IRC, that's just kind of pointless [15:41] some cds and dvds work, some don't... i would replace the optical drive but not worth it [15:41] adminewb: Maybe your can see if they are connected to the same network name. [15:41] tomcullinane, scroll up then it won't autoscroll until you scroll back to the bottom. If the window loses focus usually it will put a red line in the conversation where it last had focus. [15:42] erUSUL, hrm, so should I install one of those? [15:42] if I can get my usb stick to boot 10.10, I could test it [15:42] abstrakt: install network-manager-openvpn-gnome <<< that adds support to networkmanager [15:42] i'm guessing maybe I should install gadmin-openvpn-client [15:42] ahh ok thx [15:42] shamez: nothing :( doesnt find anything [15:42] abstrakt: the network icon in the right corner [15:42] Stale: I don't understand [15:42] it keeps autoscrolling :(] [15:42] bons: didn't work, I have .bashrc and .bash_logout but no .bash_history [15:42] adminewb: I usually see a network name for one LAN. [15:42] try this http://rubenlaguna.com/wp/2007/01/08/bash/ [15:42] tomcullinane: use an other client [15:42] ilovefairuz: anyway, if I have to abandon pursuing the issue... I'll let it go... I would like to help solve the bug but yes, my hardware is in bad shape [15:42] erUSUL, oh and my GNOME panels are fairly heavily modified from the default [15:43] so that icon may or may not be where you said it was :) [15:43] tomcullinane: use a proper irc client... empathy is good for im but irc ... [15:43] gentooxer: i will do in future :) [15:43] quick q, is there an escape sequence during the initial install process of ubuntu 10.04 to see what its currently doing? having an issue on a laptop where it just shows the first graphic with the guy with his hands in the air and it stops there [15:43] can I change the subject? can I ask about graphics cards? [15:43] FlashDeluxe, try playing around with /etc/hcid.conf [15:43] erUSUL: i usually do and will do in future [15:43] Stale: eth0 is the only name referencing the wired ethernet [15:43] abstrakt: is the network manager icon the one you use with wifi or wired [15:43] :) [15:43] drive continues to seek but nothing happens [15:43] ah ok [15:43] yeah so I have a wifi icon [15:43] tomcullinane, xchat is good just make sure you install xchat and not xchat-gnome [15:43] eztop: you could give it a try [15:44] I use wifi... i can use wired too but right now I'm on wifi [15:44] I want to upgrade my video card... does 10.04 or 10.10 work with ati cards? or should i stick with nvidia? [15:44] headKase314: thanks :) [15:44] any ati owners here? [15:44] abstrakt: well it can configure vpn connections too if you install the plugins [15:44] shamez: woo :S That file doesnt exist?! [15:44] tomcullinane, you're welcome. [15:44] gentooxer: i'll try :) [15:44] adminewb: how about the wireless connection? Is the wireless connection connected to 'eth0'? [15:44] ok cool, yeah i just ran sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome [15:44] and there is infact a VPN tab [15:44] eztop: do you need glx? [15:44] Stale: no the wireless has its SSID but I don't think that's what you mean [15:44] eztop, I'm an Ati Radeon HD 4670 [15:45] I use video a lot and I was wondering if hd 5000 cards work in ubuntu 10.04 [15:45] headkase314: can you use vlc? [15:45] I was told there's tearing [15:45] eztop, I have 10.7 proprietary drivers installed and VLC and all other tasks work as expected. [15:45] having install issue where after it boots from CD and shows the man w/ hands in the air graphic at the bottom and just freezes, any way to escape out of it to see what its hanging on? [15:45] aminewb: did you ever pastebin your route and ifconfig and iwconfig if wifi? mabe I didn't look back far enuf [15:46] headkase314: oh? [15:46] FlashDeluxe, my guess you have some bluetooth apps conflicting with bluezutils [15:46] eztop: WoW in wine and ati doesn't work ... [15:46] Stale, in the Connection Information page, it gives wired tab for "Auto eth0 (default)" & "homenet" for the wireless; how are these names used? [15:46] Greetings.Im now in ubuntu netbook remix edition.My laptop has build in bluetooth where i was able to use in my windows 7.How do I confiure it and turn on the bluetooth in ubuntu.Thanks [15:46] eztop, I don't really use WINE, sorry. Give a second. [15:46] gentooxer: oh, i see... does wow and wine work with nvidia cards? [15:46] how do i disable ubuntu from running X or gdm at startup? [15:46] !nox | judgen [15:46] judgen: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [15:47] headkase314: I probably wouldn't use wine much either... just curious [15:47] eztop: yes [15:47] thanks [15:47] On my 9.10 Karmicm, I can't find the packet "astrolog" in my repos nor can I install a .deb (which I could install on my 9.04) - is there any astrology software for Karmic, that works "out of the box"? [15:47] shamez: damn....how can i get rid of these tools? :( [15:47] gentooxer: yes? with any nvidia card? [15:47] eztop, have you checked out this guide -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [15:47] adminewb: the auto eth0/ethernet is just a name for the wired internet connection. [15:47] having install issue where after it boots from CD and shows the man w/ hands in the air graphic at the bottom and just freezes, any way to escape out of it to see what its hanging on? [15:47] eztop: I don't know if any card will work [15:47] Stale, right [15:47] Is there someone here that mentain xorg-edgers PPA? [15:47] headkase314: no, not until you linked it ;) [15:48] Milos_SD: #ubuntu-x would be your best bet. [15:48] eztop, ok hope the link is useful ;) [15:48] gentooxer: why don't you know?!? ;-) [15:48] Stale, is there something I have to do in a terminal to link these 2? [15:48] FlashDeluxe, try 'apt-get --purge remove ' most of the blue* tools and reinstall bluezutils [15:48] adminewb: so everytime you use a ethernet cable, you get your wired internet with hardly any waiting. [15:48] headkase314: it will... at least, it is interesting to check out ;) [15:48] eztop: I don't have all cards at home ... [15:48] shamez: OK [15:49] gentooxer: haha... [15:49] for some reason i cant find a simple way of having a shortcut to my folder in home on my desktop - what am i missing? [15:49] Stale, er yes, why are we talking about waiting? [15:49] adminewb: as far as I know, I do not see a reason why I would link the two connections. [15:49] gentooxer: I have a 7950gt in my desktop box [15:49] erUSUL, ok I have configured my VPN connection in the network manager [15:49] eztop, I actually have crossover games purchased and installed - but yet I still don't have any Windows games installed! I'll get around to it sometime! ;) [15:49] and now it appears in the list of VPN Connections when I click on my network icon in my panel/tray thing [15:49] gentooxer: but, family computer died so not using the desktop at the moment [15:49] anyone? heh [15:49] eztop: I think nvidia is better [15:49] but, when I select that VPN connection essentially "nothing happens" [15:50] i don't get a window, I don't get an error, I don't get an error window [15:50] RainRain: you could open the /home directory in Nautilus and use the middle Mouse button to drag your folder to the Desktop and make "link here" [15:50] Stale, I want to link the two in order to share wired connection with other wireless clients [15:50] gentooxer: probably [15:50] just... nothing [15:50] how can I troubleshoot my vpn connection? [15:50] headkase314: I'd probably use windows for games but... [15:50] headkase314: if I needed any ms software, i'd want to try wine [15:50] eztop, if you need games then the ideal solution is a dual-boot - much less bleeping around. [15:51] headkase314: yes, agree with that [15:51] abstrakt wich vpn server/client are you using? [15:51] aminewb: I think for simplicity what you want to do is bridge eth0 and wlanX there is software to do that brctl I think. another solution is to route them as I do on my network, but that's just so I can filter out people I don't want. [15:51] reetingss.I have install ubuntu in my laptop where at the beginning windows 7 already installed.Now how do I configure to make it ubuntu as my defult login when its came to dual boot menu(currently its will go to windows 7)... [15:51] bons, openvpn [15:51] headkase314: i have a dual-boot now...well, triple boot on my laptop [15:51] are you calling it from commandline? [15:51] Let's say I have two Ubuntu partitions? How do I delete one or get rid of it? [15:51] is there any grub problems with windows 7? [15:51] sacarlson: sounds all right; see man page for brctl then? [15:51] MArkSS install gparted [15:51] MarkSS, gparted livecd [15:51] lal [15:52] if your partition is not active you can just install it [15:52] hmw: yip that worked thanks - when i tried it with regular right click it said something about not being able to copy a folder onto itself ... thanks though [15:52] eztop, I'm Ubuntu only on my only computer - I play some games, the id games that have native Linux clients - other than that most of my gaming is filled by my Xbox 360. Getting a 360 solved needing games on my computer for me. [15:52] abstrakt? [15:52] bons, yes? [15:52] i did u a question [15:52] headkase314: i see.. [15:52] greetings, what is the best way to move or change the partition '/var' is located on? should i `ln -s /var /home/new-var-dir` ? [15:52] bons, i answered your question [15:52] adminewb: maybe look at this first https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge [15:52] bons, openvpn [15:52] no [15:52] the second one [15:53] headkase314: i can't afford the extra Xbox console though ;( [15:53] sacarlson: thanks much for the link [15:53] ah, no I am not calling from commandline [15:53] How do I find out that which version of GRUB im using? [15:53] not right now, I don't know the syntax for that [15:53] I was trying to launch it from the Network Manager panel applet [15:53] omfgf [15:53] Aiya: should display when at grub screen? [15:53] eztop: how do i check it? [15:54] bons, where can I find the syntax for launching openvpn from the commandline? [15:54] openvpn depends only from your .conf files and the certificates and key files you created [15:54] eztop, yup it is duplication of effort somewhat but for myself the ability to have only Ubuntu on my general purpose computer was a good trade - anyway we're getting off-topic, anything to respond with or just let it go for now? [15:54] Aiya: when your grub screen is coming up, doesn't it show the ver.? [15:54] Aiya: grub --version [15:54] abstrakt: man openvpn [15:54] on the desktop i have "keep aligned checked" but i still have to keep pressing "clean up by name" to actually keep them aligned - how do i get this to work or is it a bug or something [15:54] abstrakt everything can be executed by cl... just type openvpn --help [15:54] headkase314: well, what topic do we want? :) [15:54] greetings, what is the best way to move or change the partition '/var' is located on? should i `ln -s /var /home/new-var-dir` ? [15:54] eztop: Its does but now im already in ubunutu and dont tell me to reboot.Im sure there is command for it [15:54] it works also for all the rest [15:54] lost_and_unfound: Thanks [15:54] bons, ok well I have a zip file that my sysadmin gave me with the certs and a conf file. I set up a connection in the VPN network manager and selected my certs, but I didn't see anywhere to specify my conf file [15:55] eztop, heheh - let's see who's day we can make better as the messages scroll by... ;) [15:55] just [15:55] run [15:55] Aiya: oh yeah, I forgot about that, sorry... haven't needed grub from CLI in a while ;) [15:55] openvpn --config filename.conf [15:55] asbstrakt [15:55] !who | bons [15:55] bons: 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 :) [15:55] ooh - i just figured it - it IS keeping them aligned but the grid is so loose it;s useless - anyone know how to set the grid on the desktop [15:56] ... [15:56] headkase314: yeah... well, since i am building a desktop, I was curious about video cards [15:56] Pici [15:56] what is the best way to move or change the partition '/var' is located on? should i `ln -s /var /home/new-var-dir` ? [15:56] vati fa na zuppa [15:56] the wlan adapter shows up as *-DISABLED when I run "lshw -C network". I then ran "rfkill list" which returned "Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes". The issue seems to be with the hardware switch being unavailible in linux. [15:56] headkase314: easier to ask here than wait for responses in the forums ;) [15:56] bons: Excuse me? [15:56] I have this error popping up whenever I try to install something Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. [15:56] Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f [15:56] i wrote after [15:56] Is there an easier way to auto encrypt home directory then this ..https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder Using Lucid. Lubuntu prompted on setup which was nice. [15:56] just forgot it [15:56] lost_and_unfound: ya that sounds about right [15:57] eztop, I've been Ati for 10 years and really like them but I always hear people recommend nvidia for Linux. I've had no issues with Ati so I can relate that and have no experience with nvidia so you'll need another source for that information. [15:57] When I wan to check the version of grub the result was : aiya@ubuntu:~$ grub --version [15:57] The program 'grub' is currently not installed.

[15:57] ./join ##urbandictionary [15:57] oops, disregard that [15:57] I tried to run sudo apt-get install -f but I receive this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/478892/ [15:57] eztop, yes sometimes there is tearing but I do not find it bothersome. [15:58] itmustbejj, i don't remember, i think if you read there you can do it [15:58] lost_and_unfound: I do get it reversed sometimes and my link goes to ? you can create links with nautilus [15:58] Aiya, you have grub2 installed [15:58] headkase314: i'm looking at cards for around $100...so that allows some good older cards, 4870 used , even 4770 new and maybe one of the newer ones but a htpc card [15:58] how can I access the localserver on my computer from another computer (connected via the same router) [15:58] shamez: didnt work :( i removed everything related to bluetooth an reinstalled bluez-utils and bluez-compat [15:58] #situbondo [15:58] adminewb: A router has the capabilities to connect clients on either wired/wireless methods. Of course, if you wanted to use the computer as a bridge, you can connect ethernet cables between that computer to client to client and so on.

[15:58] any way to fix this issue with the error that is showing up here http://paste.ubuntu.com/478892/ [15:58] lost_and_unfound: after I create a link with nautilus I just cut an move the link where it's needed [15:58] what is the file name for the manual? I know I downloaded it but I cannot find it [15:59] BluesKaj: Are you sure.?But how came when I did the command its askes me to install first [15:59] eztop, speaking of htpc (Home Theatre Personal Computer) my computer right now is hooked up to my HDTV in the living room via HDMI.

[16:00] ok much better, runnning openvpn from the command line actually gives me output :) [16:00] Aiya, sudo update-grub [16:00] sacarlson: thanks, will give it a go [16:00] abstrakt, exctly [16:00] utkanos: burn a new cd? maybe check the cd see if it's corrupted [16:00] thats the way [16:00] sacarlson, CD works fine on other boxen [16:01] eztop, the ability to watch video directly on the tv with VLC was the primary reason I hooked it up to the HDTV. It works great. Of course I'm sure nvidia also has HDMI options so both ati and nvidia are still to be considered for you. [16:01] headkase314: I used mythtv before but now just watch on vlc videos i have [16:01] md5 checks out, it doesn't seem like a media issue [16:01] I have a question what excetly sudo means ? [16:01] utkanos: I have disk that only work on one box. some of my disk readers aren't so good but do read some disks [16:01] Aiya: super user do :) [16:01] can anyone help me at all with this error Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/sp-auth_3.2.6~ppa1~lucid7_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [16:01] BluesKaj: I have Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic [16:01] sacarlson, is there a way to escape the installer to see a log of whats happening [16:01] Aiya, it means "run this as the administrator" [16:01] the desktop icon grid is ridiculous IMHO ( way too fine and apparently no way to change it) - has anyone found any way of adjusting it or know anything about it [16:01] slacker_nl: Thanks [16:01] How do I see which Linux partition I am currently on using GParted? *slaps head* [16:01] eztop, I have no experience with myth. Played around with XBMC a bit a while back but yes - much simpler just to use VLC. [16:01] abstrakt: Okey [16:01] I have tried sudo apt-get install -f [16:01] headkase314: does your ati card have hdmi audio? [16:01] thanks [16:01] is there a channel pastebin? [16:02] but that does not solve the problem at all [16:02] dunno [16:02] abstrakt, paste.ubuntu.com [16:02] abstrakt: only paste.ubuntu.com [16:02] headkase314: mythtv was a headache...but, this was a while ago...it might be a bit easier now ;) [16:02] eztop, yes and unlike nvidia it is integrated right on the graphics card and Ubuntu detects and uses it fine. [16:02] Aiya, does grub show your windows partition ? [16:02] headkase314: I think ubuntu was at 8.10 or 9.04 when i used it [16:02] utkanos: not that I know. there might be a way to see more if you hold shift at boot and change kernel settings so you see the text as it boots to get a better idea what failed [16:02] abstrakt: it is up on the description of the channel [16:02] Can Anyone tell where I can get the command or to learn the command all sometimes sudo get-Blablabal and sometimes get-apt-blablabla [16:02] BluesKaj: yes it does.

[16:03] Aiya: you can google for it too :) man $command will give you plenty of results [16:03] sacarlson, agreed.. I will try to burn another copy I guess.. or perhaps usb stick [16:03] Are there many viruses that are compatible with the ubuntu os? [16:04] slacker_nl: Thanks [16:04] headkase314: I'd like to get an ati card but if i get a used card, i can't send it back ;) [16:04] lap_dragon, nope [16:04] utkanos: other posibility it is a graphic driver problem when it gets as far as xserver [16:04] eztop, I'm pretty sure with nvidia you have to pass through your audio from a separate card for the HDMI audio, with ati it is all built into the card - no other audio card needed. I may be wrong with nvidia not having integrated audio though - need some research there. [16:04] Aiya: run man man, it will tell you :) [16:04] !lnw > lap_dragon [16:04] lap_dragon, please see my private message [16:04] Aiya, then you are all set , you can scroll down to your windows install and boot it as well when needed [16:04] sacarlson, doesnt even get to boot prompt though, it shows that strange graphic with what looks like a keyboard, an equals sign, and a stick figure [16:04] headkase314: oh, okay [16:04] utkanos: ya usb stick that's sounds like a good move if you have a 2gig usb? not sure how big you need [16:05] BluesKaj: How do I set ubuntu as my primary(defult) os when its asking for options.Now is defult is windows 7 [16:05] eztop, by pass though I mean you just have the extra step of plugging your audio output from a separate card into the nvidia graphics card - once done you don't think about it anymore. But the big qualifier is do some research to confirm that. === easter_egg|off is now known as easter_egg === fredrik_ is now known as |friTTe| [16:05] i don't get why we have to be cripty to nabs... i think they just need the right inputs [16:06] *we [16:06] bons: nabs?

[16:11] i've also got some lines that say e.g. /sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0 [16:11] eztop, the biggest thing you should look for in an LCD is the response time - 5 milliseconds or less is what you want.

[16:11] bons: It took me 3 days to get my openvpn to work the way I wanted. there are so many combos of options [16:11] ahh, ok lemme ifconfig then, one sec [16:11] abstrakt, yes [16:12] ok I have tun0 [16:12] sacarlson, seems just the case of a basic conf [16:12] headkase314: I researched them way back.... i ended up buying a sharp lcd 32" but brought it back cuz of stuck pixels [16:12] which I assume stands for tunnel [16:12] and that's running on the 172.16 subnet [16:12] Aiya: you were asking earlier: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto [16:12] headkase314: that's when they were $1000 [16:12] It is a "Haier" brand. It wasn't a familiar brand for me so I purchased Wal-Marts 3 year electronics warrenty for $CAD 50.00 and did some googling on the brand after the fact and it turns or "Haier" has a good reputation. [16:12] headkase314: yes [16:12] eztop, my screen has zero defects.

[16:45] andrej: With compiz enabled, Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left arrows [16:45] soreau...thanks :) [16:45] datta: The other way is to fix your broken packages, which may be very simple or quite impossible depending on what all youve done to break it [16:45] datta: you can try comment out the ppa line and apt-get update and see if it install then [16:46] datta: usually reinstall last resort. I just joined channel what exactly are the symptoms errors etc. [16:46] datta: Yea the first thing would be to comment out that ppa, then run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [16:46] datta: See if it succeeds and go from there [16:46] datta: no garantees just small glimmer of hope [16:47] soreau: what do you actually mean by commenting out? === Rachel is now known as Guest3276 [16:47] Alguém usando a distro 10.10?

[16:50] now the error seemed to have changed Package libcompizconfig-backend-gconf is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[16:57] IdleOne: no idea. he just has lucid compiz candidate per apt-cache, in 10.04 (upgraded) [16:57] _Yang_: its a cli application, it doesn't have a graphical interface. [16:58] <_Yang_> so how do i compile ?? [16:58] i read that the gtx 460 works in wine [16:58] soreau: sorry I haven't been following the entire thread so I am not sure what he is trying to do [16:58] imho, that's pretty pathetic that old ati cards won't even work in wine [16:58] soreau: I get this output: # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jason-scheunemann/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main # disabled on upgrade to jaunty <-- IdleOne: His install has been around for awhile, it would seem ;) [16:59] !compiling | _Yang_ [16:59] _Yang_: Compiling software from source?

Do I need to install programs in the VM itself or can I run already installed programs from my Windows partition? [17:20] I just got a new Ubuntu box. Whenever I try to use the arrow keys when in insert mode vi inserts Cs and Ds. What's wrong? [17:20] md-llyr: you have to install [17:20] md-llyr: you need to install in the vm [17:20] md-llyr: You have to treat the vm install just as a rm install [17:21] banished: I get a IO error upon md5sum. actually this is a windows 7 cd and when boot from it it says IO error too. [17:21] pbx: so that's a rather old model, they have still issues with KMS, you can disable it by adding radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel boot parameter (press shift when booting from cd to get the grub menue) [17:22] Thanks very much hoare, piaocn and soreau!

[17:25] banished: no. I just booted from the cd. instead of showing me a page to ask for try ubuntu or install ubuntu, it showed me a page asking me for login name and password [17:25] explorealex: um, where did you get the cd? [17:25] wazzup: yes [17:25] can you log in? [17:27] banished: i burned it from an iso file i downloaded. it worked just fine on my laptop. on his laptop this login screen came up. no i could not login even with "root" username. as the password was incorrect. i did not create a user name and password. so how would there be one.

[17:29] !usb > wazzup [17:29] wazzup, please see my private message [17:30] Pici: I will ! thank you [17:30] explorealex: usually it doesn't have a password, but you should also see a list of all users - it's the Ubuntu Desktop CD, right? [17:31] yes it is..that's why i am worried.:( [17:31] explorealex: is it a graphical login promt? [17:31] or just text?

[17:47] i just want it to run games [17:47] its a ve server [17:47] vm [17:48] stealfalcon, ok, I see in that article the XP box is run in virtualization then you connect to it over RDP. [17:48] stealfalcon: I don't think the performance of a VM will be enough to run games [17:48] !virutalizers | stealfalcon [17:48] [17:48] !wine | stealfalcon [17:48] stealfalcon: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [17:48] !virtualizers | stealfalcon [17:48] stealfalcon: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [17:48] wine pol and crossover dont work [17:49] Hello, is there any way i could disable the root password prompt for some specific sudo commands? it's really annoying when you type the root password like 20 times/day [17:49] stealfalcon, a virtual machine is not suitable for running games. You should consider either WINE or a dual-boot with XP system. [17:49] stealfalcon: well, if the game is graphically demanding, a VM won't work either [17:49] ok [17:49] its not its 2d [17:50] bitchhhhhhh: yes, it's possible, see http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/18/linux-tips-password-usage-in-sudo-passwd-nopasswd/ [17:51] hey folks. i hear a loud annoying beep (in any application), that comes out of my laptop's headphones whenever i hit backspace when theres nothing left to backspace. how can i get rid of this? ubuntu 10.04 [17:52] rooks: downloading... [17:52] if I close evolution are my accounts periodically checked for mail and shown in the indicator applet? [17:52] banished, but i asked about specific commands, not turning off the root password [17:52] \o/ [17:52] that's just wrong === adelcampo is now known as onetytwo [17:53] bitchhhhhhh: just add the command, e.g. bitchhhhhhh pew=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get update [17:54] errm [17:54] sachael: yes [17:54] ohh, hope it works, thanks banished [17:54] bitchhhhhhh ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get update - for running update without entering a password [17:54] yes [17:54] sounds good\ [17:54] bitchhhhhhh: razor ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/aptitude would be an example [17:55] banished: you would not add the 'update' part. the command is apt-get === onetytwo is now known as canthiswait [17:55] hi [17:55] can anyone tell me how to disable shutdown/reboot for ordinary users?

[17:56] Arcidias: uhm.. what? [17:56] i have just completed a fresh install of lucid and i've customized my gnome environment. i want to add new users, but i want them to share the settings that i'm currently using, not the default settings...what can i do? [17:56] ente, http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/ [17:56] rooks: everything still works.. will see if it survives a restart [17:56] ente, http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/disabling_shutdown_and_reboot_in_ubuntu [17:57] Slart, <3 [17:57] abhijit: that's just what I found. it's from 2006 and does not work anymore.

[17:59] when using jackd for audio recording with ardor2 other applications cant playback sound. is it possible to fix that? [17:59] pin? [17:59] of hold [17:59] after I did not find anything, I decided to come here and ask [17:59] hi [17:59] as in keep them from upgrading to the new release [18:00] beli: use a player that can use jack for output [18:00] which manufacturer makes webcams that are compatible with ubuntu [18:00] !hcl [18:00] 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 [18:00] abhijit: if I read that one correctly, it's about disabling the "do you really want to shut the system down" dialog [18:00] !webcam [18:00] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [18:00] ente, :( cant help then. [18:00] most of them mention windows as supported os [18:01] nirvaana69: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [18:01] erUSUL: hmm.....no other solution possible? systemwide? [18:01] sn3ipen, what directory? i dont see /desktop/gnome/sound [18:01] thanks [18:01] beli: i dunno if there is a gstreamer support for jack. totemRB banshee and most gnome things use gstreamer [18:01] the ubuntuone music store keeps sending me to the wrong region (Europe instead of U.S.) how can i fix this. [18:01] sn3ipen, that is already turned off [18:02] anyone else? [18:02] erUSUL: ok thanks, i try to set that up then [18:02] erUSUL: its just that no system sounds work anymore... [18:02] beli: that's expected. jack takes control of the sound hardware [18:02] hi guys, does anyone knows where can I find a good tutorial about headless installation of a ubuntu server? [18:03] how much better works nvidia in ubuntu then ati? [18:03] racquad: your gonna need a head to install unless you pre isntall to a hdd then move it to another pc [18:03] racquad, try in #ubuntu-server [18:04] aeon-ltd, maybe it could work, but the device I want to install is a Lenovo NAS that maybe has raid onboard. [18:04] abhijeet, I will try, thanks [18:05] aeon-ltd, the thing is I don't know how it will work with the pre-install of ubuntu === OerHeks is now known as Oer [18:06] are there any screen recorders that don't leave artifacts on the video [18:07] I have tried using gtk-recordmydesktop but the resulting video is full of artifacts even though the quality is set at 100^ [18:08] kn100: I am just curious; which artifacts are you experiencing? [18:08] kn100, istanbool? [18:08] !screencast [18:08] Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [18:08] BlueEagle, I am recording snes9x [18:08] BlueEagle, and..i'll take a screenshot to show you [18:08] I have a WinXP VM running on Ubuntu. 10.04 I have setup a shared folder so my WinXP VM sees my Ubuntu Desktop as its own. One problem: If I try to access a folder on the destkop.....it does not allow me access..... .....way to fix this? It only lets me access the files on the desktop...not the folders on it too. [18:09] kn100: I am on a text-based console so unless it looks good with AALIB you'll need to describe it to me. [18:09] BlueEagle, uhh, well, lets say I go past a coin [18:09] part of that coin will remain on the video for a few seconds [18:10] it's hard to describe [18:10] Shouldn't chsh be permanent? Like if I set it, log out/in then it should still be set to what I changed it to right? [18:10] hey folks. i hear a loud annoying beep (in any application), that comes out of my laptop's headphones whenever i hit backspace when theres nothing left to backspace. how can i get rid of this? ubuntu 10.04 [18:10] Does ubuntu have XVID MPEG-4 decoder for firefox? [18:11] elitexray, install mplayer or vlc [18:11] arooni-mobile: disable the bell in terminal preferences [18:11] they should both have plugins that will have one [18:11] Yeah they do, however, I want to stream movies off firefox. [18:11] what do you mean? [18:11] erUSUL, that works in terminal but not in other apps like xchat or firefox [18:11] kn100: Well, given that you're running an emulator I would most likely blame it or more accurately the blitting in the original game. Ie. the coin is still there it is just painted over. However the screen recorder captures the screen without or before the covering tile is drawn. [18:11] you can watch movies on firefox through xvid [18:11] arooni-mobile: system->settings->audio, there you can set and disable the 'warning noise' [18:12] kn100: I would suspect that the coins in question are animated, are they not? [18:12] BlueEagle, thats the thing [18:12] when I'm playing the artifacts aren't there [18:12] it's only when the video is encoded [18:12] banished, my sound theme is no sounds; alert volume is down to 0 and set to "Mute" [18:13] kn100: If the coins are animated, does the animation complete in the video before the coin disappear? [18:13] BlueEagle, it's not just the coins [18:13] it happens to non-animated elements too [18:13] mostly the walls [18:13] BlueEagle, this would be much easier if I could show you a screenshot [18:14] hey guys, having some trouble setting the ulimit [18:14] kn100: How does the walls stay in place? === slif is now known as rslifka [18:14] !in > DarkSector [18:14] DarkSector, please see my private message [18:14] >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 28 <<< [18:14] sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 28 [18:14] sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting [18:14] BlueEagle, the walls move to the left, but the thick lines surrounding them remain in the same place for a a few seconds sometimes [18:15] how do i open visudo if it's screwed ? [18:15] hi, i had to reinstall my ubuntu but the wpa_supplicant.conf i used before wont work anymore :?!# [18:15] can't open a gksudo nautilus using alt+f2 either [18:15] arooni-mobile: It can also be your bios settings that is the problem [18:15] halp [18:16] bitchhhhhhh: use sudo pico/vi/joe/ (which ever you like) /etc/sudoers [18:16] arooni-mobile: is there a slide for beep in alsamixer?

[18:16] banished, yes beep was set at 100. muted it and problem is gone [18:16] bitchhhhhhh: Start the live-CD, mount the partition that contains the file and fix it before rebooting. [18:16] bitchhhhhhh: you might boot into recovery mode and edit it from there [18:16] anywhere I can find vim 7.3 debs? [18:16] bitchhhhhhh: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [18:17] thanks [18:17] bitchhhhhhh: oh ouch...sorry, didn't see that. [18:17] bitchhhhhhh, go to System > Administration > Users and Groups [18:17] Hello, I'm having trouble with changing my public IPs for dchp in UEC (10.04). I've searched and tried editing my eucalyptus.conf and done a "sudo restart eucalyptus-cc CLEAN=1" but I keep getting the public ips that I defined when I first installed UEC. [18:17] bitchhhhhhh, select the user, click on Advanced Settings. Give sudo rights there. [18:17] lol [18:18] !test [18:18] hrm? [18:18] hello [18:18] I found one old cd from 2001 with music [18:18] kn100: Have you tried this with and without eye candy? (Read: Compiz and friends) [18:19] canthiswait: what's wrong with vim 2.7.2 that's in the repository? [18:19] OpenSourceCode: Grats! [18:19] yashi-: why not using network manager? [18:19] but files are in .wav and 16 music is 745mb...how can I turn them into mp3 without losing rate [18:19] BlueEagle, I don't have anything other than xfce compositing [18:19] I can try turning that off [18:19] OpenSourceCode: You cannot turn them into mp3 without loosing quality. [18:19] OpenSourceCode: mp3 isnt lossless [18:19] OpenSourceCode: FLAC however is a lossless codec. [18:19] banished: because im not using gnome. (awesome) [18:19] mp3 can be lossless [18:19] !test [18:19] OpenSourceCode: you can use lossless codecs like flac or ape [18:19] hrm? [18:20] OpenSourceCode, FLAC has the very same quality as CD but is about 70% as big. [18:20] hmm...I just want to reduce size of 745mb of 16 music...to like 50mb or something [18:20] kn100: Since it affects the rendering of the desktop I would try that. [18:20] however you need an encoder that knows how to encode mp3 lossless === Guest57514 is now known as isolat3dsh33p [18:20] blendmaster1024: right, but than its not compressing like flac or ape [18:20] OpenSourceCode: use rythmbox and copy it there from the library, you can set FLAC if you really need it lossless, but ogg or mp3 should be sufficient with reasonable high bitrates [18:20] evening all [18:20] OpenSourceCode, you'll need mp3 lossy. sorry. [18:20] does anyone know what: No keys have been configured - skip key clearing means? (wpa_supplicant) [18:20] thank you, banished [18:20] I will try that now. [18:21] BlueEagle, thanks :) [18:21] how to play hd movies in lucid smoothly?(i have an 11 GB .mkv file) [18:21] vlc player?

[18:21] and good computer [18:21] Sid123, VLC 1.1.2 can do that [18:21] sacarlson, you mean 7.2? nothing is wrong with it, but I'd like to use the features in 7.3 like the lua interface and persistent undo [18:22] it's so great that ubuntu community is so friendly...always someone ready to help [18:22] Hey guys, having a bit of difficulty getting ulimit nofiles setting recognized [18:22] Followed these instructions, to no avail: http://www.ubun2.com/question/433/how_set_ulimit_ubuntu_linux_getting_sudo_ulimit_command_not_found_error [18:22] Sid123: To play HD-movies smoothly you do need a sufficiently powered computer and graphics card. [18:22] OpenSourceCode, is that sarcasm? [18:22] Oer:how to install that? [18:22] it would be if I said it, for sure. [18:23] blendmaster1024, no [18:23] rslifka: how are you configuring it? testing it? [18:23] Sid123: If you do not have the oompfh to run it smoothly with mplayer or vlc then you're left with the alternatives of upgrading the computer or transcoding the movie. [18:23] i have a nvidia geforce 512 gr card and amd athlon processor [18:23] heh, I guess you just don't know the dark corners of the ubuntu community then. [18:23] Slart: Configured as per the link (enabled pam limits, modified limits.conf, rebooted) [18:23] Sid123, wait for the update, or use a PPA at your own risk > https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc [18:23] Slart: Tested with ulimit -a, nofiles still says 1024 [18:24] and what are the dark corners then? :D [18:25] isolat3dsh33p: what happens if you plug it in? [18:25] canthiswait: well you can try the ppa https://launchpad.net/~vim-full/+archive/ppa [18:25] OpenSourceCode, #ubuntu-offtopic is one ... and it's where we should take this conversation [18:25] but plays under windows smoothly(in kmplayer) [18:26] rslifka: hmm.. sounds correct to me.. odd [18:26] hey all [18:26] clonezilla questions [18:26] !hi | crossglobeit [18:26] crossglobeit: Hi!

I have a problem after installing 10.04 ok, then updating, the grb update and re boot stops me from booting into Ubuntu/WinXP, I get Grub rescue> [18:30] canthiswait: oh your right I saw a 3 in it thinking it was 7.3. ya so compile it if you want it that bad. vim is small can't take 2 min to compile [18:30] yashi-, don't worry about me - I'm no an op. But you don't want to get an op's bad attention. [18:30] banished: network-manager produces lags (at least here) because it scans for networks all the time [18:30] I have a usb mic [18:30] where would that be under /dev/ [18:31] sacarlson, i probably will do that, thanks gain! [18:31] kn100: you could check dmesg output [18:31] kn100: it's an usb soundcard after all [18:32] Hi there. I have a wireles usb adapter Alfa Network AWUS036H which works fine on my ubuntu 10.04 PC (It worked straight away without installing drivers), but on this machine with xubuntu it doesn't work. Yesterday I installed the Realtek drivers for chipset rtl8187L and after some problems compiling the source code I finally managed to install the driver successfully. But still doesn't work. Then I though I made a mistake because I reckon the chipset it [18:32] uses is rtl8187 without the final L. But I'm having problems compiling this driver, it gives me some errors and if someone could help me I would appreciate. [18:33] cesc_xubuntu: is your xubuntu machine maybe using an older ubuntu release? [18:33] hello all [18:34] no I'm using the latest xubuntu 10.04 with all updates. [18:34] are they some specifics brand which usually are compatible with ubuntu ?

[18:40] capleton: it ises the standard ubuntu kernel - you can check if it's loaded by watching dmesg or checking lspci -k /lsusb -t [18:40] bandar: open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and type lsusb [18:40] sacarlson, this usb wirless adapter works fine with my other pc with ubuntu 10.04 without installing any driver at all... but not with xubuntu 10.04 [18:41] cesc_xubuntu: well that's means the hardware must be working. did you try scanning?

[20:33] bandar_: is guvcview working? [20:33] Snakkah, your /etc probably isn't too big, you could make an archive for backup purposes if you ever wanted to refer to an old setting - but moving the /etc directly to a new system is probably not wise (due to different software versions) [20:33] banished, what should i do after i get ther terminal open with the live version in order for it to see the ssd's? [20:33] Jinxed-: dmesg [20:33] myrk: try to make a directory then. What do you use in your mount line or fstab file? [20:33] myrk: the directory you are trying to mount to has to exist before you mount a device there [20:34] ok [20:34] stinger05: ussually best to get latest plugins online . [20:34] sweet [20:34] myrk: drop into cmd line and create the dir. [20:35] ok what command do you use to mount? [20:35] amanita_: i guess I've got a similar problem. [20:35] banished : what is guvcview ? [20:35] elkclone: i just want a package that would have all the codecs included... is there one available ? [20:36] how do i completely remove flash? aptitude remove flashplugin-nonfree isnt the trick.... at least firefox still knows flash [20:36] stinger05: not that I have seen yet. check the ubuntu site. [20:36] banished do i just type dmesg in the terminal at the home? [20:37] stinger05: if there was a package it would soon be out of date anyway. [20:37] * elkclone enjoys the steep and deep learning curves. [20:38] stinger05, start with ubuntu-restricted-extras and if you need more move to Medibuntu's non-free codecs [20:38] so i have a dell mini 10 laptop thats only booting to a blank screen after latest round of updates. [20:38] repositories [20:39] elkclone: why not provide a package for each version distribution? wouldnt that be a good idea? :) [20:39] stinger05: hard to keep up [20:39] dandee: I am having similar issues, I have a Dell Dimension E521 which is doing about the same thing. [20:39] dandee, hold shift on boot and see if an older kernel is available, see if it works, if there is one. [20:39] open source constantly changes and evolves. [20:40] banished : i just download guvcview [20:40] hey, how do i find out which agp mode is being used by the video card? [20:40] * elkclone rushes off to get the latest wikileak. [20:40] stinger05: gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-ugly [20:41] Does any one know if Radeontool is required for the Radeon X1350 Pro?, it says it is for laptops and I think removing it could help. [20:41] nvm, i grepped the xorg.0.log ;) [20:41] mneptop: what packages are those for? [20:41] stinger05: these will not include Flash playback, however. it's better to get the machine online and install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:42] stinger05: those *are* packages [20:42] ZykoticK9: i held down shift, it said loading grub, and then still booted to the blank screen [20:42] For a few hours, my DVD drive hasn't recognized any CD's or DVD's when I put them in [20:43] Anyone know how to get an SSD to work with ubuntu... mine aren't showing up as I try to install [20:43] dandee: nalyd_relwof: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the output? [20:44] ZykoticK9: i would love too, but i cant even get a command line. [20:44] dandee, i'm affraid I don't know what to suggest. Do you have a LiveCD you could try booting? (from there you could chroot into your HD install, see !grub2 factoid for those directions) - but I really don't know why you're getting a "blank screen" right now, or have any suggestions :( [20:45] nick mac10 === roelof is now known as GrinRoth [20:45] ZykoticK9: i just dont wanna reinstall everything again, everything worked fin until that last round of updates. lol [20:45] dandee, what version of ubuntu are you using? [20:45] banished : that program doesn't work and the net cut off [20:46] does ubuntu 10.04 come with its' firewall enabled by default ? [20:46] stinger05, no [20:46] !ufw | stinger05 [20:46] stinger05: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. === mac_ is now known as mac10 === davide__ is now known as koyunbaba [20:48] ZykoticK9: i love been n00b. lol. i wasnt pushing shift at right time. lol i have it reparing packages now. ty for your help [20:48] ZykoticK9: i can get root caommand line now too [20:48] dandee, glad you figured it out! [20:49] ZykoticK9: well see how far we get...my gf is gonng be mad if i dont get this working. lol [20:49] Jinxed-: SSD's should work, just like any other hard drive.. I've got one in my machine right now and it shows up just like a regular hard drive [20:49] anyone know how 2 work webcam [20:49] bandar, does it work in cheese? that's step 1 ;) [20:49] Slart, My ssd's don't show up at all [20:49] no [20:50] bandar, sorry i can't help then - good luck. [20:50] hey! sorry for that sudden question, but is there a way to get a x-usermode on that freenode server? [20:50] thanks [20:50] Jinxed-: what kind of setup do you have? just a regular motherboard with the SSD connected to a normal sATA port? no weird on board raid stuff? === mac_ is now known as mac10 [20:50] why are none of the policykit administration tools installed in lucid? [20:50] How do I remove packages installed from a third party PPA, and revert back to the ubuntu default packages? see my post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9726520#post9726520 [20:50] !policykit | mgolisch [20:50] winterweaver: use ppa-pirge [20:50] bandar: what make and model is ti? [20:51] mgolisch, ubottu doesn't know policykit, sorry that was my attempt to help! ;) [20:51] gateway i guess [20:51] xangua, the big problem being that the PPA overwrote libgtk with it's own version.... I want to revert that back to the ubuntu default [20:51] Hello! [20:51] winterweaverdo you have ppa-purge in your system¿¿ [20:52] winterweaver, you use ppa-purge - give me a minute to get some links [20:52] headkase314, xangua: ah ok didn't know that will solve my issue. thx I found it in launchpad [20:53] Slart, I have 3 ssd's connected to a Addonics 5x1 Interal stata port multiplier [20:53] winterweaver: latest ppa-purge > https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/webupd8/+files/ppa-purge_0.2.7-1%7Ewebupd8%7Emavrick_all.deb [20:53] agter you install it, run in terminal: sudo ppa-purge "ppa's name" [20:54] hello, does anyone know a very fast linux distrobution that isnt ubuntu based [20:54] winterweaver, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/ppa-purge-added-to-official-ubuntu-1010.html [20:54] Jinxed-: then you probably need to look for a way to make that multiplyer work [20:54] justin: lol very funny [20:54] ZykoticK9: im gettint addscreen/screeninit failed for driver 0 ubuntu when i try to start xserver...i think this is a graphics card problem [20:55] !ot | justin4567897654 [20:55] justin4567897654: #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! [20:55] winterweaver, download ppa-purge by itself as a .deb package and install - don't add a random repository for it because you may pull in all sorts of stuff. Link to just the .deb file is in the previous link. [20:55] dandee, i'd agree. what version of ubuntu are you using? [20:55] winterweaver, also the given link has instructions. [20:55] Slart, it says os independted [20:55] independent [20:55] anybody else have trouble running avast!? [20:55] ZykoticK9: 10.04 i just had it repair all my packages too, and it said that it could not repair the kernel [20:56] thx headkase314 [20:56] Hello all. I need to share a NTFS partition with other Windows 7 PCs. Can someone please help me? [20:56] winterweaver, you're welcome! [20:56] dandee, perhaps dkms failed to build your graphics card kernel driver or something. What graphics card are you using? [20:56] poulbos [20:57] ZykoticK9: poulbos [20:57] ZykoticK9: anyway to just take it back to stock? [20:57] dandee, is that a type/make of graphics card? "lspci | grep -i vga" [20:58] Jinxed-: well.. try connecting the drives, one by one, to a proper sata port and see if the BIOS picks them up.. if that works then you might want to focus on the multiplier.. if that still doesn't work you might need to see if the drives might be damaged [20:58] dandee, right no terminal -- SORRY === punch_ is now known as punch [20:58] ZykoticK9: VGA compatible controller: intel corp system controller hub (sch poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev07) [20:58] ZykoticK9: ok i got flash running...now the firefox restart :P [20:58] ZykoticK9: got terminal workking. :) [20:59] ZykoticK9, i will use synaptic instead [20:59] ZykoticK9 is there anyway i can tell it to rebuild the default xconf file so i can get graphics back? [20:59] dandee, oh right! - i though intel was usually well supported, you should check Launchpad for any poulsbo bugs perhaps? [20:59] hello! [20:59] ZykoticK9: this sucks... how can it be.. one restart and in doesnt work [20:59] does anyone have a suggestion on a fast linux distro thats easy to use [21:00] yashi-, do you have another browser installed? [21:00] justin4567897654: why not ask in ##linux instead [21:00] !ot | justin4567897654 [21:00] justin4567897654: #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! [21:00] what laptop house's machines is ubuntu more likely to work out-of-box on? ASUS or lenovo thinkpads? [21:00] justin4567897654: This channel is only for Ubuntu support, so you aren't going to get any non-Ubuntu suggestions. Use ##linux for other linux distros. [21:00] ZykoticK9: no but i could give it a try [21:00] dandee: ZykoticK9: poulsbo has notoriously bad linux support unfortunately. Intel really dropped the ball with poulsbo. [21:00] dandee, IF you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf move it to a different name! and restart gdm. [21:01] Can anyone help me hook up my gigaware usb heatset for skype on The current Ubunutu disctro? [21:01] ZykoticK9 how to do that without gedit? [21:01] torchie: it works nicely on my Asus machine.. no guarantees that all asus machines act the same though [21:01] !ask | eweb [21:01] yeah I imagine U30JC is out of the question [21:01] eweb: 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. :-) [21:01] ZykoticK9: if I used apt-get to install eggdrop IRC bot, where are my conf files now? [21:01] Jordan_U, thanks [21:01] since it has the graphics switching [21:01] I was considering a thinkpad X series [21:02] dandee, can you open a terminal? [21:02] elloo [21:02] q_a_z_steve, i have no idea - i've never used eggdrop [21:02] i have problems, my wrt54g router wont load the web interface properly [21:02] headkase314: I must be losing it, I tried to grep for eggdrop.conf after apt-get installing it, and it came back with 0 results. :( [21:02] q_a_z_steve: I installed it yesterday as well and I had to create all my own config files. [21:02] Gigaware USb headset Driver? IS there such a thing? [21:03] ZykoticK9 yeah [21:03] q_a_z_steve, I think you are losing it because I have no idea what your talking about! ;) [21:03] hiku: Really? I have a web link for a simple.conf, but not sure if it's up yet. [21:03] ZykoticK9 it says warning cannot open display [21:03] dandee, "ls /etc/X11" do you see xorg.conf [21:03] yeah, its there [21:04] dandee, "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig" [21:04] q_a_z_steve: yea, I used that same config with eggdrop -m my.conf [21:04] headkase314: k, cool, just trying to grab some quick possibilites... Where do conf files usually go? I have /usr/share/eggdrop [21:04] q_a_z_steve, i think it really depends on the program using the config file - different per program? [21:05] Slart, how do you check to see if the BIOS can see your ssd? [21:05] Is there support for the RTL8188S usb wireless thingie in 10.04? [21:05] hiku: so you just created /home/user/my.conf ? [21:05] Jinxed-: see if it shows up when you boot.. you might need to disable any of those pretty boot up screens some BIOS's have though [21:05] q_a_z_steve: yea, then run eggdrop -m /home/user/my.conf [21:06] right [21:06] q_a_z_steve, as in: some programs may store your configuration within hidden files and folders in /home while others may be in a system-wide folder - depends on program? [21:06] headkase314: yea I thought the same thing, but after an eggdrop install, there are no hidden dirs or files for eggdrop [21:07] headkase314: The install page I'm using mentions system-wide, that you can at least start from. [21:07] hiku, the only eggs I'm familiar with are Python .egg files, and you use easy_install from Python setuptools for them. [21:07] does find | grep look in hidden or probably not? [21:07] Hi all. [21:07] Is there any option to install kde 4.5 on kubuntu 9.10? [21:07] Tried to install it with ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging repo. [21:07] But can't see nothing new from kde in upgrade. [21:07] nicon`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:07] headkase314: yea... [21:07] ... [21:08] nicon`, you might want to try asking in #kubuntu [21:08] ZykoticK9: thanks, but maybe some1 here tried? [21:08] ;-) [21:09] hiku: you installed 1.6.2 right? [21:09] q_a_z_steve: yea, whatever version was in the repos [21:09] q_a_z_steve: I'll try again on this comp and see what happens [21:09] headkase314, ok... I have an obstacle... how do I know what the name of the original ppa was? [21:10] winterweaver: apt-cache policy packagename [21:10] how do i disable shutdown/restart in gnome? [21:10] ZykoticK9: so after typing startx, the x server started but it still just went to blank screen. [21:10] dandee, don't use startx -- "sudo service gdm restart" [21:10] q_a_z_steve: yup, 1.6.19+ssl [21:11] ZykoticK9: i tried an alternative browser..chromium ..well it "works" more or less but the picture tears like hell [21:11] yashi-, but flash works [21:11] yes [21:11] q_a_z_steve: are you following this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028042 [21:11] winterweaver, I know you can figure it out from System > Administration > Software Sources, and under the "Other Software" find the line for it. I don't know how to convert that line to what ppa-purge accepts BUT once you find the line do a search on Launchpad to find that ppa - the text will be similar enough - and then get the exact ppa-line for ppa-purge there. That's what I do! [21:12] yashi-, so at least you know it's a firefox issue and can perhaps narrow your search [21:12] hey people [21:12] anyone here? [21:12] hiku: trying to decide http://www.egghelp.org/setup.htm or http://www.nubae.com/eggdrop-irc-bot-with-logging-to-website-1 [21:12] can i ask a question about 64-bit desktop edition of ubuntu 10.04 lts [21:12] ZykoticK9: restart: Unknown Instance [21:12] winterweaver, Jordan_U I've never seen that command so maybe that's hopefull too! [21:12] can anyone help me [21:12] ZykoticK9: true, i guess i will delete the firefox config folder :/ [21:12] please ? :( [21:12] I get an error when trying to pick the Win7 partition: "grub bootmgr missing" [21:13] dandee, "sudo service gdm start" [21:13] ZykoticK9 still a blank screen...wtf [21:14] dandee, reboot perhaps? [21:14] ZykoticK9: ill try it. [21:14] dandee, only really would apply if you had a kernel driver for graphics [21:14] hey guys, how can i tell how much socket memory my computer is using currently, the max as being defined by net.ipv4.tcp_mem [21:14] knxville: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the output? [21:15] ZykoticK9: blank black screen... [21:15] ZykoticK9: im using kernel 2.14 [21:15] #ethersex [21:15] do you guys know why its not recommend for daily usage (64-bit version of ubuntu)? [21:15] dandee, i'm out of ideas - good luck man. [21:15] what happens if i use it daily [21:16] Dogan: nothing bad, been using 64bit for months now [21:16] Dogan: Mostly problems with the flash plugin. Not everyone agrees with that message being on that page. [21:16] hmm thanks guy [21:16] Dogan, i use 32 bit on 4bit systems because its more stable, as in no worries about adobe not releasing some plugin for 64bit flash, or sth [21:16] guys* [21:16] Dogan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [21:16] Dogan, it's a "web-site bug" see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 ;) [21:17] Dogan, tho i also use cross compiler for windows and i dont want to engage myself in 644 bits yet [21:17] q_a_z_steve: because of permission issues and path issues I had to copy /usr/lib/eggdrop/modules to a dir in $home called eggdrop. I also put the .conf there and copied /usr/share/eggdrop/scripts then ran eggdrop -m simple.conf and all as fine [21:17] Why is refit requierd to make a dual boot on Mac's? [21:17] is adobe gonna release 64-bit flash for ubuntu? [21:17] hiku: thanks, I'll watch for that. Just started messing with their simple.conf [21:17] Dogan: doubt anytime soon [21:18] Dogan, not right now - question is offtopic for this channel however [21:18] q_a_z_steve: ok cool... good luck [21:18] hiku: thanks for that link btw. [21:18] Dogan: they say they are going to.. who knows how long we'll have to wait though [21:18] q_a_z_steve: np [21:18] i have 64-bit windows 7 and i think nothing will happens if i install 64-bit ubuntu [21:18] cause i can run flash without problems in this os [21:19] mgolisch: there is an gconf key (edit with gconf-editor) /apps/indicator-session/suppress_logout_restart_shutdown . I don't know if it will do what you want. And i think you have to login again for it to take effect. [21:19] ZykoticK9: looks like x is working....its saying that /user/kernel/psb-kernel-source [21:19] Dogan, there are issues with Flash with any Linux. And even more with 64bit flash right now. [21:19] ZykoticK9: looks like x is working....its saying that /user/kernel/psb-kernel-source returned error code 1 [21:19] Hey, I am using my mobile phone to give my laptop internet access (ubuntu 10.04). I'm impressed with the ease of setting it all up, but I have one issue. The connection is made automatically as soon as my phone comes near the laptop. Since the connection is fairly expensive I would like to only connect it manually. How do I set that up? [21:19] hmm :( [21:20] dandee, i have no idea what that is, what it means, or how to help :| ;) [21:20] ZykoticK9: i guess ill ask my good friend google. ;) lol [21:20] thanks again for answering my questions. i think i will install 64bit even though it has problems with flash x_x [21:20] bye ) [21:21] How would I escape this so that it actually works properly? alias foo='echo "It's a bar!"' [21:21] Rienzilla, there should be a setting to untick that says something like, do not connect to this wifi automatically. [21:22] Rienzilla, it should be under your network or under the wifi settings. [21:22] canthus13: alias foo='echo "it'\''s a bar!"' [21:22] Jordan_U: THanks. [21:22] canthus13: You're welcome. [21:23] well [21:23] for wifi I can find that setting [21:23] Jordan_U, nice bash-foo ya got there. i'm impressed ;) [21:23] Jordan_U, escaping inside double quotes looks funny though [21:23] Rienzilla, I'm not an expert but in the upper-right corner is the network manager: I think what you need is in there so when you are advertising your issue say that too? [21:24] i was talking about networkmanager yes [21:24] Rienzilla, im not in ubuntu im in windows but whne i did run it, it was there when i did run it. [21:24] how do i get frame handling working in elinks? every time i enable it (vt100 or linux) i get garbage around the screen. Anyone here use elinks successfully? [21:24] and there is a new connection type in its dropdown as soon as the connection to the phone is made, but the connection itself cannot be configured, just turned off or on [21:24] Hi [21:25] One question [21:25] Rienzilla, then why not just turn it off when you leave the computer? [21:25] How do I get Internet on ubuntu (wireless) [21:25] tsafe: whats the problem? [21:25] the point is that it enables itself automatically when I turn it on [21:26] ZykoticK9: Just look at it as two single quoted strings, 'echo "it' and 's a bar!"' , with an escaped single quote in between them. [21:26] and I want to prevent for example that ubuntu is going to download 50 megs of updates when I';m abroad or something like that [21:26] How do i tell in my bios if it sees my ssd's connected with http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/ad5sapm.asp [21:26] Dwade09, and it's expensive. [21:26] tsafe: type iwconfig in a terminal [21:26] !who | Rienzilla [21:26] Rienzilla: 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 :) [21:26] Rienzilla, ah ok, and headkase314 yeah i know, [21:26] hiku: what did you do for "user file"? [21:27] what would cause 'sudo -u svn id' to show different groups than running 'id' from another place (SVN hook)? when I run it manually, I get 'uid=107(svn) gid=117(svn) groups=33(www-data),117(svn),118(trac)', but from the hook I get 'uid=107(svn) gid=117(svn) groups=33(www-data),117(svn)' - notice the missing 'trac' group. What could cause that ? [21:27] q_a_z_steve: the -m creates that and runs the bot. the nextime you run the eggbot you don't need to use the -m option [21:27] well so just leave those lines alone, as they are in simple.conf? [21:27] q_a_z_steve: yeah [21:28] kk [21:28] q_a_z_steve: thats what I did anyway [21:28] im sorry Rienzilla , im not running ubuntu anymore and i do not have a live cd or vbox with it, or i would try to help you more. [21:28] Dwade09: no problem, thanks === root is now known as Guest75992 [21:29] ubottu: being a bot, you must use elinks right? x) [21:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:29] Rienzilla, readvertise your issue like: "How do I keep the network manager from automatically connecting when the only options are either enabled or disabled. I would like the default to be disabled on boot but it is enabled." [21:29] !ubottu fix my bios settings so i can finally load linux [21:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:30] !ubottu stupid bot [21:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:30] Then what after [21:30] I typed wconfig in terminal [21:30] Jinxed-, having fun with ubottu ? [21:30] tsafe: iwconfig [21:31] How should I manage services in ubuntu 10, seems there is no longer an official app for that? [21:31] Yes [21:31] Dwade09, I would have more fun if it was able to tell me how to configure my stuff so i could load ubuntu [21:31] tsafe: hopefully it will list your wireless card wlan0 or something like that [21:31] Then whut else [21:31] !info bum | riis [21:31] riis: bum (source: bum): graphical runlevel editor.

[21:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:32] tsafe, it's wlan0 - zero not O [21:32] hi all! I have a question: The fonts in all my GTK applications look great, but in Firefox it seems to use less hinting. I compared by changing the font hinting style in xfce to 'Slight' and that is exactly the same as I see firefox do, but it seems unaffected by the settings in XFCE. I want the fonts in all the apps to be hinted 'medium' 'Slight' is blurry as hell :) [21:32] CAN gparted see an unpartioned ssd? [21:32] elinks, frame handling. dosn't work. any ideas? [21:33] riis, i sent you the message, it's not as good as the old services GUI but it's an alternative-of-sorts. The "real" way is just to use command line management at the moment. [21:33] Yep [21:33] Wlan0 [21:33] tsafe: yep means it works? :/ [21:33] What after I see wlan0 [21:34] ZykoticK9: is that the sysv-rc-conf thing? I'm fine with cmd-line... [21:34] ok, i'll try the elinks channel :) [21:35] tsafe: well ubuntu detects your wireless card so its just an easy software issue. youve got 2choices one 1.networkmanager(upperright corner on your desktop) 2. via wpasupplicant.conf [21:35] riis, that's for init stuff yes - which Upstart should be backwards compatible with i believe. but i've had to rename scripts in init (not init.d) to disable stuff? hopefully you'll learn better method ;) [21:35] are you having an issue detecting a wifi card? [21:35] i had the same issue yesterday installing ubuntu on my new computer. [21:35] Jinxed-: why are you using a port multiplier at all?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:36] Hey! I was wondering if somebody could help me with the partition my hard drive for my new ubuntu install please. [21:36] shade, i can help you [21:36] what's the problem [21:36] banished, because I have 3 ssd's connected [21:36] ah, you have to make changes to /etc/fontconfig/ [21:37] !hi | Rienzilla oops, I think the links are in this line? [21:37] Rienzilla oops, I think the links are in this line?: 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! [21:37] Jinxed-: are you shure the port multiplier is working at all with them? Do they show up somewhere else? (Bios, windows)? - why not just using the sata ports on your mainboard [21:37] I just want to partition it so basically it has a separate home parition so if i do a clean install of ubuntu later i don't lose all of my data [21:37] mainly trying to make sure i give enough space to the ubuntu install [21:38] banished, well im using pc 104 form factor so im guessing there weren't sata ports avaialble? [21:38] Jinxed-: it came with the port multiplier? [21:39] shade-: by data do you mean the home folder === heinrich_ is now known as Shurakai [21:39] yeah. [21:39] why not just back it up when you do a clean install? [21:40] i installed ubuntu a while back and had a friend help me with it and he told me it was smarter to install it with ubuntu on one partition and then have the home folder on another... [21:40] i don't see why that would make any sense [21:40] !who rafeisdamanfosho [21:40] !who | rafeisdamanfosho [21:40] rafeisdamanfosho: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[21:42] Jinxed-: try connect the SSDs directly to the mainboard, will save you a lot of trouble [21:42] shade34321: if i were you i'd just install it normally. otherwise to access your files you'd have to go to a mounted drive any time [21:42] rafeisdamanfosho it's just something i was told...he gave me a reason ive just forgotten it [21:43] shade34321:if you want to do that you can just install it normally [21:43] ok...thanks [21:43] shade34321: and then after that use gparted to make a partition out of your ubuntu partition for the home folder [21:43] rafeisdamanfosho: if you have /home on a different partition it's just automatically mounted, nothing fancy; and if the system gets screwed you don't need the livecd to recover your files [21:43] I was wondering, if I do a completely new install of Lubuntu and then use programs such as mplayer, Dolphin, Firefox, Azureus and Thunderbird, will I be defeating the purpose? [21:43] shade34321, having /home on it's own partition means you can clean re-install / without losing the contents in /home. However you must be certain the new install does not format /home when you do it. [21:44] shade34321: okay i see, never heard of that before but thanks. if it's automatically mounted then you should do that [21:44] shade34321: just use gparted after you install to make a new partition [21:44] opij: with dolphin, yes, a little, it will take qt and more kde libraries with it [21:44] VCoolio that's what my friend told me at that time....anything particular i need to make sure that's what happens [21:45] n8 [21:45] shade34321: no, just do the partitioning right while (clean) installing [21:45] VCoolio, would it be less memory intensive to use nautilus? [21:45] shade34321: yeah just be careful how you set things up initially [21:45] opij: NO, use pcmanfm or, in my opinion better, thunar [21:46] VCoolio, i really would like something with previews [21:46] After installing Kubuntu onto a Ubuntu system, how do I reset the startup splash screen back to Ubuntu's? [21:46] VCoolio, thumbnails, i meant [21:46] My audio stopped working all of a sudden. Can someone assist? [21:46] opij: both are gtk applications; at least thunar can do previews [21:46] VCoolio, thumbnails [21:46] VCoolio, of videos [21:46] opij: yes, that's it [21:47] My new install of ubuntu 10.04 will play sound through the speakers but not through headphones. Is there something I can do about this? [21:47] hi i need help turning my network card on, it is usually turned on with fn+f1 on windows but this does not work on ubuntu, the wireless network card is installed on ubuntu just fine but i have no way of turning it on [21:47] neither pcman nor thunar offer that [21:47] the wireless network card is supported by ubuntu [21:47] tomcullinane: i had the same problem let me get you the link [21:47] hiku: just tried to run $ eggdrop -m simple.conf and it gives me an error "invalid command name 'channel'" [21:47] opij: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/thunar-plugins/thunar-thumbnailers/ [21:47] q_a_z_steve: double check your config file for "channel" you might have a typo [21:48] tomcullinane: btw what card is it? [21:48] rafeisdamanfosho: intel wireless 3945 abg [21:49] tomcullinane: do you have ethernet? [21:49] rafeisdamanfosho: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan], and yup i'm using ehternet just fine [21:49] VCoolio, does it only generate thumbnails for mpegs? [21:49] opij: no [21:50] tomcullinane: and ubuntu recognizes the wifi card? [21:50] Hi! I'm just trying to setup a laptop using pxe using my laptop as tftp server. I have been following http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/PXE-Installation to do this. [21:50] Tftpd ist installed, the netboot is decompressed [21:50] rafeisdamanfosho: yep its reconised, ive used a utility called rfkill and it has a hard block on the card which im assuming means that it is turned off [21:50] opij: this one is also cool http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=706800 [21:51] VCoolio, have you used it? does it generate thumbnails for all video files? [21:51] Do I also have to have the iso somewhere handy? [21:51] opij: for avi, that's what I have [21:51] tomcullinane: what happens if you right click on the network manager icon on the top toolbar? [21:52] rafeisdamanfosho: it brings up a menu [21:52] tomcullinane: is there something like networking disabled or anything like that? [21:52] nope all enabled [21:52] tomcullinane: hmm no clue then [21:52] :D I've done it!!! [21:53] Is it possible to use a dhcp server on my rooter to use PXE? [21:53] tomcullinane, how? [21:53] dont ask how because ive been trying for about 6hours now [21:53] headkase314 [21:53] fosstux: sure if it supports specifing the needed options [21:53] : ^ [21:53] tomcullinane, :) ;) [21:53] thanks all :D [21:54] There something wrong with the forums? [21:54] APJ if you mean ubuntuforums.org then I believe so, pop over to #ubuntuforums [21:55] headkase314 okay thanks [21:55] APJ, it appears no one can post.

[21:56] Takatori: /join #room [21:56] Takatori: Alt+1, Alt+2 and so on [21:56] do i need a boot partition? [21:56] Takatori: I think it was /window or Alt+. Don't use irssi anymore [21:56] Takatori, "man irssi" in a console without quotes [21:56] VCoolio, does thunar support smb [21:56] Thankyou all [21:56] shade34321: normally not [21:56] Does anyone know what kind of wireless cards that Ubuntu supports? [21:56] Takatori, welcome! ;) [21:57] opij: depends on the version, the newer one does, same goes for pcmanfm [21:57] shade34321: You may need one if you encrypt your system, use lvm or if you have *many* partitions on your harddrive, for example. [21:58] anyone got the rotating cube screensaver to work in 10.04 64bit [21:58] MasonB: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported but the better question would be which /don't/ work [21:58] phaer: I'm separating my home partition from the ubuntu partition...think i should make one for boot? [21:59] i have a problem with nautilus, when i do "always open with" it opens with the old app next time [21:59] opij: if I remember correctly you need thunar 1.1, and pcmanfm2 0.9x === pil is now known as oxidkor [21:59] shade34321: if you don't use encryption of your system partition or other 'exotic' features, you don' need a boot partition [21:59] rotating cube screensaver 10.04 64bit anyone anyone [21:59] ok...thanks banished [21:59] shade34321, if you decide to make a /boot partition then choose ext4 as the file-system - don't choose btrfs or something weird like that. The /boot filesystem must be in the kernel not loaded as a module and ext4 is in the kernel. [21:59] Ok, banished, which cards don't work [22:00] pleeeease [22:00] I have a Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN card i think [22:00] MasonB: and it doesn't work?

[22:02] !firmware | MasonB [22:03] some software running on the wifi card, you need it to use the card, but some firmware can not be included in ubuntu for various reasons, so you have to download it yourself [22:03] So my broadcom card should work? [22:03] nah it looks like no one has got the screensaver working on lucid [22:04] there is a b43-fwcutter that does that job, best check dmesg and see if something is complaining about missing firmware [22:04] information is sparse on it to say the least [22:04] hola? === EvilTrek is now known as EvilPhoenix [22:04] alguien me puede ayudar?

[22:36] afroman: do you want to controll the computer with the TV remote? [22:36] afroman, you cannot control your computer using your tv's remote?

[22:40] afroman, and does your computer have a built-in tv tuner that you would also use with Windows Media Center?

You can hit ctrl-L and enter the path to the Share like smb://cow/public/ [22:57] Starmage: bitchx is outdated.. you may want to look into IRSSI or Weechat (i perfer weechat) [22:57] so i really must know how to install a gcc without root [22:57] i have evolution installed for emails....but i cannot get the notification after i receive a email [22:57] yashi-: where COW - the name of the server. Instead of COW you can also try the ip# of the machine. [22:57] Starmage: well, you could get the .deb paket and extract it and hope all dependencies are alredy ther [22:58] Dr_Willis: it says: cant mount folder [22:58] Starmage: you would have to find a allready compiled version, and exctract it to your home..

[22:59] yashi-: so smb://127.0.0.1/gits1 works? try your actual ip, not 127.0.0.1 [23:00] tomatto_: places -> connect to server... is one way.

[23:02] j_dalmond: #e is active right now, i'm in it [23:02] insulina_, do you have the needed -dev packages installed? [23:03] Starmage: in theory. IF you found a .deb of your irc client (bx, or weechat,) you could perhaps exctract the binaries to your home dir and run them from there. [23:03] Vcoolio, mmm... apperently not reg'ed ))). I though there's no need for registration [23:03] thought' [23:03] * [23:03] IF i found [23:03] Dr_Willis: ok.thx for now [23:03] j_dalmond: some channels require that, apparantly #e does too [23:03] thats not the case i guess [23:04] Starmage: for weechat and irssi - that would be easy.. for BX.. no idea.. I dont use or reccomend BX. [23:04] btw... help Dr_willis and banished [23:04] well that was a waste of $50 [23:04] headkase314: I think I do, it just says glut ...

Beyond this tip there is not much help I can offer.

[23:09] baxterton: you dont use windows drivers in Linux normally./ [23:09] baxterton: obviously because it's not windows [23:09] baxterton: what are you trying to install exactly? [23:10] baxterton: theres no need to MSG me.. keep it in the chnanne; [23:10] I fired up update manager, did check, then install all. It appears to have hung while "unpacking replacement base-files". Is there anything I should try before killing the process? [23:10] baxterton: #1 thing to rember linux is not windows... [23:11] baxterton: what Is your video card? and have you tried the system -> admin -> hardre drivers tool yet? [23:11] my mobo came with a disk with all the drivers on it [23:12] baxterton: and are you SURE they are linux drivers? they may be out of date if they are. and may allready be included in the repos.. [23:12] Ah well, kill it is, then. [23:12] I just put it in and double clicked the icon when it came up on the desktop [23:12] baxterton: your ubuntu came with a linux with probably all drivers in it ;-) [23:12] I'm a new user so I don't really have any idea how to use ubuntu [23:12] any laptop recommendation fully supported with ubuntu ?? [23:12] baxterton: start with the video card.. what IS your video card/chipset? [23:12] !manual | baxterton [23:12] So much for update manager being safer/more reliable than apt :-). [23:13] baxterton: bookmark that ubuntu manual page.. and read it sometime tolearn the basics. [23:13] it's a sapphire radeon hd5670 [23:13] Dr_Willis: ok i made a discovery...it looks like i can mount some folders and some not :/ i checked the write/read rights [23:13] baxterton: just use the hardware driver tool, it will care about that [23:13] Gazi11i0n: eee pc? i don't think there is a notebook perfectly supported due to acpi issues [23:13] baxterton: and you have gone to 'System -> administartion -> hardware drivers' yet? [23:13] no [23:13] not yet [23:14] yashi-: yep - you have to watch out for the permissions/ownership of the directories. [23:14] puff: it's also much slower; go apt-get upgrade next time; go cli [23:14] Hm, killed update manager and ran it again, it said it couldn't upgrade all files, but offered me a partial upgrade. [23:14] dell inspiron mini10 netbook here everything works [23:14] so if I use that it will take care of all my hardware's drivers? [23:14] aeon-ltd: I'd highly doubt that, most notebooks work well [23:14] and update them all to the most recent versions? [23:14] does anyone know how to install a .bin file? [23:14] baxterton: thats the TOOL to use for most 'fancy' drivers. [23:14] I selected partial and it said it couldn't get a lock. I'm guessing the lock-file is still lying around from the old upgrade manager. Where is that, can can I just remove it? [23:14] puff, don't do "partial" upgrades. it will break things. [23:14] baxterton: yes, that's the idea [23:14] tobe: chmod +x foo.bin, sudo ./foo.bin [23:15] ZykoticK9: Good point. [23:15] banished: well but not 'fully supported' [23:15] puff, use "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" from cli instead [23:15] tobe: Depends on what the .bin is also.... [23:15] is there a utility to update my bios too? [23:15] tobe: .bins are best avoided. [23:15] ZykoticK9: Where does the lock file live? [23:15] baxterton: that would be MB specific. [23:15] puff, partital upgrade = the only time i use aptitude [23:15] Dr_Willis: well the home folder is an old one.. its on a seperate partition and i used it with other distributions before :/ [23:15] ok [23:15] I have the window open [23:15] Dr_willis: its a point of sale program form sourceforge... [23:15] yashi-: check its ownsdership/permissions and compare to ones taht work. [23:16] it shows my graphics card drivers [23:16] ZykoticK9: Do you know where the apt/upgrade manager lock file is? [23:16] baxterton: well, there is indeed one, but I think you better use the update cd of your board manufacturer, maybe it can even do it from usb by now [23:16] running and in use [23:16] tobe: thats weird they distribute it as a .bin [23:16] how do I run the disk though? [23:16] baxterton: so your video card should be working fine.. [23:16] puff, not really - could you reboot? if one locked up? [23:16] that's what I've been trying to do [23:16] baxterton: run the disk.. short answer.. YOU DONT. [23:16] ZykoticK9: I could reboot, I guess, would that clean up the lock file? [23:16] baxterton: if you were installing a windows game.. that would be a different thing.. drivers for your MB.. you dont want to use whats on the disk [23:16] Dr_WIllis: yea well they did and im stuck... so you say chmod +x [23:17] go to gentoo [23:17] puff, i believe so [23:17] I see [23:17] !permissions | tobe [23:17] tobe: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:17] but [23:17] how do I run a disk, period? [23:17] when I double click the icon it doesn't auto run, just opens the file browser [23:17] baxterton: I insert the game cd... then in a terminal. 'wine /media/CDROM/setup.exe' or whatever its cammed [23:18] Hi [23:18] ok [23:18] baxterton: you run the 'installer' on the cd.. or whatever programs are on the cd. [23:18] puff: try /var/cache/apt, also man apt-get to check the fix command I forgot, doesn't always work though [23:18] Can i get wireless internet by using live cd [23:18] got it [23:18] autorun is a blight. :) [23:18] well, if you have wine installed you don't really need to use the terminal, you can just select 'run with wine' in the context menue [23:18] Dome: sure [23:18] Oh great. [23:18] My mom is ego-surfing me now. [23:19] banished: except that may not work on a cd.. it wanted the .exe to actually be 'executable' last i tried that.. and you may not be able to do that on a cd. [23:19] And telling me about the cool stuff she's finding with my name on it :-). [23:19] Let's hope she doesn't find some old usenet posts... [23:19] VCoolio: Okay, will try that and check back here later with results. [23:19] banished, you might run into an issue with executable permission if you try running the executable directly from the cd - the terminal doesn't have the issue [23:19] VCoolio, ZykoticK9: thanks. [23:19] ok [23:20] i cannot select enable wireless, why? [23:20] ZykoticK9: hopefulkly they fix that odditiy in the next release.

[23:22] hi [23:22] tobe: no idea. its their directions... if you have a .bin file in your dir you downloaded .. you need to run it.. [23:23] tobe: cant you execute the binfile itself? [23:23] tobe: be sure to use ./whatever.bin and get the CaSE CoRReCt/ [23:23] tobe: inux command line hates typos. :) also try the TAB key to complete filenames. be sure you are in the right directroy also [23:23] broadcom STA wireless driver [23:23] Does Ubuntu let to explore the innings of a computer more, like other open source linux dist... or does the ease of ubuntu make much of the ability to edit stuff be negated? [23:23] How do I delete a file named "x5 ÿ"Îáx+?sC{éU*?«.txt" (don't ask how it got there) [23:24] on live cd [23:24] C_Okie: it lets you look deeper than you want to :P [23:24] C_Okie: you sure can do anything you could do with any other linux distribution [23:24] KikkyMonk: rm -- "x5 ÿ"Î?áx+?sC{éU*?«.txt" perhaps [23:24] Even the Wubi version [23:24] KikkyMonk: rm -- x5 perhaps [23:24] C_Okie: its debian based, so its as open as debian, onyl difference is basically the set of packages its shipped with and the repos, and the community ofc [23:25] Dome: have you also tried the other one? what is dmesg saying? [23:25] C_Okie, WUBI is great for "testing", but if you want a better experience I'd suggest dual-booting. [23:25] Dr_Willis: yes im in the right dir... now it doesnt say anything it just moves to a blank command line no error message does that mean i did it right? [23:25] C_Okie: its all linux underneeth you can dive under the hood and break stuff if you want. :) [23:25] tobe: commands in linux normally dont print anyt hing if they succede [23:25] ^^ [23:25] Dual bootings not that much mor difficult anywa correct [23:25] tobe: so you did a './whatever.sh' and it just returns? [23:26] Dr_Willis: ok thnx now im one step closer [23:26] C_Okie: install windows first than ubuntu [23:26] *more anyway [23:26] C_Okie: i find it trivial to do. :) [23:26] Dr_Willis: yes it just returns [23:26] C_Okie, dual booting "should" be very smooth with the installer. [23:26] Hi, is there a way to make execution bit on for newly created files? [23:26] yashi-: k, Dr_Willis true [23:27] there's a serious bug in Ubuntu and I'm not sure what to file it under.

When I go to Places->Network and click on "Windows Network" I get error message "Unable to mount location. Failed to retreive share list from server."

When I go to Places->Network and click on "Windows Network" I get error message "Unable to mount location. Failed to retreive share list from server."

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [23:35] Aemaeth, i do have filezilla installed on my win7, im trying to upload files to the ubu-machine [23:36] bye [23:36] banished: sorry, not intentional [23:36] I have installed vsftpd but with no write permission when uploading, even when configurating the .conf file for it [23:36] nimbiotics: i never use that tool. i let my users right click and 'share' stuff [23:37] Four2zero: why not just using samba? [23:37] !pt | ivan_japones [23:37] ivan_japones: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [23:37] oh yeah, i forget what the server end was called [23:37] nimbiotics: or i edit my smb.conf and add the share by hand. a read of the 'using samba book' in the samba-doc package is handy :) [23:38] Shouldn't installing libapache2-mod-php5, php5, and php5-common automatically modify my apache configuration to load the php5 module and associate content types with the appropriate extensions? After the install, the php apache config files weren't moved from /etc/apache2/mods-available to mods-enabled. [23:38] Dr_Willis: i've tried both ways, should I remove the share i made thru the samba tool? [23:38] does anyone here know how to get hold of ndesk-dbus-1.0 as a deb? [23:38] nimbiotics: check your smb.conf and see if its in there. [23:38] nimbiotics: you may as well remove it. :) [23:38] !info samba-doc [23:38] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.1 (lucid), package size 7825 kB, installed size 16104 kB [23:39] damn computers [23:40] I can do the basics of samba stuff.. but these gui tools often just add another lauyer of confusion. :) [23:40] if uname -a shows i am running i686 do i need amd64 packages or i386 packages? [23:40] I set the boot order to the cd drive as the first but yet I have to hit a key to confirm I want to boot [23:40] hullo: x86_64 is '64bit' you are the 386/32bit [23:40] in soviet OS key confirms YOU [23:41] Why would I set the order if I didnt want to boot to a disk ( besides the fact you might not want to ) [23:41] C_Okie: why ask why... [23:41] so i386 packages are what I need? thank you [23:42] hullo: for a 32bit OS - yes.. [23:42] Dr_Willis: i did delete the share thru the samba admin tool, same thing ... Now ... why is it that whn I click on Places->Network->Windows Network; I get error message "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server"? [23:42] so, I rebooted my computer to enable AHCI mode. My RAID array is no longer coming up. Both discs are still recognized, but it doesn't want to recognize the /dev/md1 (the array designation). Any suggestions on where to start? [23:43] when i'm having problems with file transfer i dump the folder in /var/www/ and let apache do the thinking [23:43] Yesterday i had a suddenly power shutdown at my house and when i select the ubuntu at grub all i get is that animation of ubuntu lucid lynx that means the system is being loaded, but then nothin happens, the animation just never end. Anybody knows what to do? [23:43] um [23:43] im not using the ubuntu [23:43] jevidl: well, if you switched from Raid to ahci mode, no wonder your raid is no longer comming up - raid mode is just as fine as ahci [23:44] my grub configuration isn't automatcially updating when I instlal a new kernel via update-manager [23:44] C_Okie: i believe in Lucid they removed the need to press anything at boot [23:44] I assume that there's a package that's supposed to mamange that [23:44] and I can, if I know what it is, do a 'dpkg-reconfigure' on it to correct the issue, I suspect. I need to know how the system works, in order to do that [23:44] any suggestions [23:45] banished: actually, it went from "Disabled" to "AHCI". I wasn't using chipset RAID. I am using mdadm for software RAID. So I doubt it has anything to do with the Chipset RAID setting. I suspect that perhaps it is being presented differently to udev and that the uuid may have changed, but I would like to confirm that the information is intact before I do something potentially damaging to the data. [23:45] Also, RAID is not as fine as AHCI when you would like to have hot swappable esata [23:47] Dr_Willis: The share is NOT in the smb.conf file ... How can I read the book you mentioned? [23:47] anyone: im trying to do but it says there is no such file of directory... wut do i do? [23:48] Ubuntu Desktop on a CD wont restrain the abilities though right, it's just when you have the try CD for wubi that is for "trying" [23:48] has anyone else had their nm-applet not start up on boot after a fsck? === F2Z is now known as Four2zero_ [23:49] i removed all language packages, but still i got 321 updates, and most of them are language packs... some1 encountered this problem too? [23:49] Yesterday i had a suddenly power shutdown at my house and when i select the ubuntu at grub all i get is that animation of ubuntu lucid lynx that means the system is being loaded, but then nothin happens, the animation just never end. Anybody knows what to do? [23:49] p1und3r, I notice my wifi not connecting regardless if I use NM or plain /etc/network/interfaces file. If it takes too long to boot, my networking doesnt seem to start [23:49] p1und3r: some people reported it inexplicably disappearing [23:50] tupi: it's hard to tell. It might just be fsck running on "unclean" disks, but that shouldn't take more than a few minutes in an absolute worst case scenario. You could edit the grub boot line to remove "quiet splash" and see if you get any useful debugging information. [23:50] p1und3r, I have to restart networking, or reboot [23:50] duffydack,ilovefairuz: my boot is still fast, but i get no connection unless i run nm-applet in terminal now [23:50] duffydack,ilovefairuz: i know i could just rc.local nm-applet but i rather know the problem :\ [23:50] p1und3r, fast? mine isnt slow but any slower than normal (like fsck) and it fails to startup [23:51] duffydack: yeah but now i've restarted 6 times normall without fsck and it's still gone [23:51] has ANYONE installed OPENBRAVOPOS succesfully? [23:51] p1und3r, and starting network-manager works? [23:51] p1und3r: check system > preferences > startup applications [23:51] Hey, folks. :-) I use Ubuntu on two desktops, one in one town, the other in another. Being a university student, I must have my stuff synchronized, so that I can work on projects while wherever. Due to the obvious number of applications used nowadays, I need to have 'em all synchronized. Do you know of any good desktop synchronization methods? [23:52] duffydack: network-manager is running on bootup, just not nm-applet [23:52] I am pxe booting ubuntu from a NFS share. Every time I reboot these (http://pastebin.com/tBEiRbmF) lines get added to /etc/fstab and then it fails to boot, saying "waiting" for those filesystems [23:52] banished: i get internt connection but its not working [23:52] mrgenixus: are these normal distro kernels? or custom/mainline kernels? [23:52] hi [23:52] p1und3r, ah. not that that problem... [23:53] yeah, this is the normal i386 kernel [23:53] i see "initctl" is like red hat's "service" command [23:53] ilovefairuz: NetworkManager is in my startup applications "nm-applet --sm-disable" is that disable normal? [23:54] i see "initctl" is like red hat's "service" command, what is like "chkconfig". i want to stop some services from starting but upstart starts them anyway [23:54] ryoohki: Ironically, service used to be redhat's 'service' command [23:55] thune3: yeah -- normal kernel [23:55] Dr_Willis: How can I read the book you mentioned? [23:55] I have a problem with my wifi connection: I have dhcp disabled in my router, therefore I must set the IPs manually, I do this using the commands ifconfig and route, but the wireless device insists on keeping a self-assigned Ip, even when "ifconfig eth1" displays the ip I have set. [23:55] what's the trick to force evolution calendar syncs with exchange? [23:55] (i've set it up already and mail works) [23:56] mrgenixus: are you on legacy grub? [23:56] calibre can handle many types Ebooks === aliendude3500 is now known as aliendude5300 [23:56] mrgenixus: i'd like to do "chkconfig --list | egrep '3:on|5:on'" and then "service undesired stop ; chkconfig undesired off" [23:57] hello how you doing [23:57] when i try to connect to my win-machine using my ubuntu machine i not able to access the the network... [23:57] ryoohki: soory -- don't know anything about that -- man pages? [23:58] ANYONE..... how do you know whether your command was successful or not....? [23:58] Yesterday i had a suddenly power shutdown at my house and when i select the ubuntu at grub all i get is that animation of ubuntu lucid lynx that means the system is being loaded, but then nothin happens, the animation just never end. Anybody knows what to do? [23:58] the only error I get on reconfigure is 'dpkg-trigger must be called from maintainer script' which doesn't really say what it didn't do. I'm running grub2 AFAIK. I had to fix it a while back because of other issues ... I miss legacy grub. I knew how it worked, could use it to boot manually without having to consult the internets or swear a lot [23:58] i have a computer with 256 ram if i install it Maverick Meerkat it will run ok?? [23:58] i get internt connection but its not working [23:58] mrgenixus: thanks! i found initctl( like sevrice) already but there seems to be no way to "chkconfig undesired off" [23:58] thune3: ^^ [23:58] songer: what do you want to do with that pc? [23:59] i get internt connection but its not working. im using live cd [23:59] I had a software RAID array using mdadm. I enabled AHCI on my motherboard, and my drive assignments changed. My system still boots fine, but my RAID array no longer comes up since it is no longer /dev/sda1/ and /dev/sdc1, but should be /dev/sdb1/ and /dev/sdc1. Any suggestions on how to proceed? I would be ok bringing the array up in a degraded mode and rebuilding it, however I am having trouble putting my finger on those comma [23:59] It seems that all the files within my external hard drive are set to executable, how can i change this? If i rightclick them and remove that setting in the file browser it is ignored and immediately reverted. Any ideas? [23:59] ryoohki: the simple answer would seem to be 'you can't do that [23:59] surf the web listen music [23:59] ryoohki: usually, if it's something you can do, it will be documented [23:59] Leemp: what filesystem is it? [23:59] does anyone know how you know if a command you did was successful [23:59] yashi- nothing heavy [23:59] Dome, simply re-connect again :) [23:59] tobe no error is oke.
