[00:00] hmm. Actually, I may have gotten it somewhat by accident. [00:00] I managed to get it to assemble, and then I was able to mount it [00:00] oer: ok thnx [00:00] songer: i would go with a gnome alternative like fluxbox or xfce... the problem is even firefox needs more than 256mb ram [00:00] Leemp: you might want to look at the permissions on the device in 'computer' and reset the device permissions, but the key issue is that you'll need direcories to be 'excecutable'. [00:01] when i try to connect to my win-machine using my ubuntu machine i not able to access the the network...? [00:01] i could cahnge firefox [00:01] mrgenixus: It is NTFS iirc [00:01] Leemp: if you're using fat32 or ntfs, you're probably stuck, and hsouldn't worry so much about it [00:01] mrgenixus: Actually it is screwing with another application, so it is a problem. :( [00:01] Leemp: windows filesystems don't conform to RWX permissions [00:01] mrgenixus: Crud. [00:01] Leemp: 'another application?' ? [00:02] songer: sure you could but the alternatives arent better..you need flash which is damn hungry..to cut a long story short.. imo the pc might work as a server but it would be a pain to work with it [00:02] thune3: I don't think the grub problem is rellevant, I'm working around it [00:02] 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? [00:02] mrgenixus: An application i use. [00:02] I could try using m-a to reinstall the driver, instead of jockey --do you suppose it matters [00:03] so i would install xubuntu ? but it has gnome? [00:03] Hi all... I am trying to make it so all my users can run 2 commands: mount --bind /dev/bus /proc/bus and umount -l /proc/bus .... i'm thinking i can do this in the /etc/sudoers file.... but i'm not sure on the syntax.... can anyone help me with this? [00:03] songer: xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce instead of gnome so it would be a better choice, yes [00:03] Leemp: without knowing the nature of the hangup you're having, I can't suggest a workaround -- perhaps, if you only need to access the files on linux, you can create a virtual disk on the device inside a file, format it ext2, and mount it for better results? [00:04] mrgenixus: Do you have the grub-pc package installed? [00:04] Jordan_U: indeed [00:04] Jordan_U: relevance? [00:04] mrgenixus: Nah, seems too complicated.. i guess i need to just figure a way to reformat my external hd. Ugh. It has 3 TB of data on it and i can't store it anywhere lol [00:05] something like: ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: mount --bind /dev/bus /proc/bus, umount -l /proc/bus ???? [00:05] K-Rich: it would be easier to configure fstab to allow that [00:05] mrgenixus: Your earlier question about your grub.cfg not being updated when a new kernel is installed. [00:05] yashi-, what about kubuntu? [00:05] hi [00:05] can sum 1 help me [00:05] hey gordon are you a coder [00:05] I need help with my usb wireless adapter on xubuntu. It's an Alfa Network AWUS036H that I use with no problems on another machine with ubuntu 10.04. But on my xubuntu 10.04 it's not working. Any ideas? [00:05] !details | stealfalcon_ [00:05] stealfalcon_: 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 ..." [00:05] mrgenixus: well, i have to undo it, thus the umount, i can't leave it mounted or other devices seem to fail [00:05] Jordan_U: as I say, I think I can work around that by booting manually and google suggests that I run 'grup-update', which I have done, but not tested, but will probably bring my grub config up to date [00:06] mrgenixus: It's update-grub. [00:06] cesc_xubuntu: pastebin: lshw -C network [00:06] i get internt connection but its not working. im using live cd [00:06] !paste > cesc_xubuntu [00:06] plz help [00:06] cesc_xubuntu, please see my private message [00:06] Execute sh start.sh. In linux you first need to add execution permissions to the files start.sh and configure.sh to do this execute the following commands.. it doesnt do anything.... [00:06] how do i do the above [00:06] Dome: tell the channel how you get internet.. asking for 'help' over and over.. tends to get you iognored [00:06] when i try to connect to my win-machine using my ubuntu machine i not able to access the the network...? [00:06] K-Rich: if users can mount something, they can unmount it; just add the users keyword to the appropriate lines in fstab [00:07] tobe: you dont need it to be executable for sh whatever.sh [00:07] K-Rich: youre sudo approach looks pretty good too. [00:07] can someone please help me remove some rogue packages from my system without damage? See my thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9727829#post9727829 ... please note I have already tried both ppa-purge and ubuntu-tweaks gui to purge it. But these packages just wont go away, and i need the default ubuntu ones back [00:07] Dome: it's better that you install the system and get all the latest updates, live cd has outdated packages [00:07] tobe: chmod +x foo.sh then ./foo.sh will work. [00:07] mrgenixus: i only want to allow that command though, no other mount commands [00:07] tobe: or 'sh foo.sh' should work [00:07] bashy [00:07] 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? [00:08] so would "exec sh script.sh" allow separate dash commands to run simultaneously? [00:08] K-Rich: create a scrip in /usr/local/scripts, and name it -- 'swap-bus' and you can add the script to sudoers, IIRC [00:08] tupi: try the TEXT option at teh grub menu to disable teh slpash screen so you can see any messages === vjm is now known as thevjm [00:08] tupi: stop asking the same question [00:08] I can't suggest anything based on the one you're spamming [00:08] Aemaeth: i never mentioned 'exec' thats normally only used in scripts. [00:09] thanks mrgenixus.... i'll try that [00:09] Aemaeth: chmod +x foo1.sh foo2.sh to make them both executable.. [00:09] mrgenixus im not flooding. Im just repeting the question since its not on the screen anymore. Is there a problem? [00:09] !repeat > tupi [00:09] tupi, please see my private message [00:10] tupi: you're not flooding. You're either not responding to the suggestions people are making, or you're asking a question no one is answering. You should ask your question differently if the answers don't solve the problem [00:10] tupi: try the TEXT option at teh grub menu to disable teh slpash screen so you can see any messages.

[00:15] can sum 1 help me [00:15] mneptok: its the networkmanager applet which gnome uses [00:15] mneptok: it now refuses to start on bootup, i have to open a terminal and run nm-applet to get online, it IS in startup applications [00:15] Hey, how do i copy a folder to another and overwrite recursively? [00:15] Dr_WIllis i could kiss you........... [00:15] cristian: heres my / listing - use a live cd or recovery mode and set the permissions back.. IF you used the 'recursuve' option..id say its time to reinstall..

[00:16] Dr_Willis: i have been working on this feakin program for 3 days straight like 23 hours total... im understanding linux now... this is the first one i actually install [00:17] songer: try fvwm-crystal, works for me on a 256 RAM computer with ubunu 10.04 [00:17] songer, since you are only telling him, then simply tell him this also. [00:17] tobe: rember 'case senexitive' and use the tab key... [00:17] Dr_WIllis: it was a combination of typos and skipping steps and case sensitive and doing the wrong file.. thank you so much... [00:17] tobe: yes.. you have to be exacting and concise :) [00:18] Thanks guys [00:18] ilovefairuz, here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/479129/ [00:18] hi has no mony but i'll install some diestro [00:18] computers are funny that way. :) [00:18] Dr_Willis: wives, too [00:18] ubotty: I thought you moderatyed ubuntu-offtopic. [00:18] cesc_xubuntu: looks like it's working fine, what network manager are you using? NM or Wicd? [00:18] chrisbuntunerd: Ubottu, as her name implies, is a bot. [00:18] mneptok: same thing, notification area is there, nm-applet needed to be manually started [00:18] Dr_Willis: one last error says i have to be the how do i do that [00:18] !sudo | tobe [00:18] tobe: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) .

[00:19] Dr_WIllis: thnx again [00:19] mneptok: that is what i just did, and then restarted my computer to see if nm-applet would start on boot and it didn't [00:19] realy [00:19] !manual | tobe [00:19] tobe: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[00:20] Dr_Willis: cristian: the /etc/sudors file require specific permissions to work, you'll have to boot the livecd and use chroot with visudo to get it working again [00:20] hey can some one listen to me [00:20] Dr_willis: sorry sorry for noobness [00:20] cristian: are you using the live cd now? [00:20] songer, that will be off-topic don't you think :) [00:20] songer: Puppy Linux is an easy to use distro for low rescource computers... [00:20] mneptok: it's not just the notification, nm-applet is not running when i get in to X [00:20] mneptok: yet it is in startup applications [00:21] thaks, samrobert for your interesting in help [00:21] mneptok: and my user has correct permissions because i can run "nm-applet" and get online [00:21] !details | sailendra [00:21] sailendra: Please give us full details.

[00:21] ubottu is bot [00:21] plund3r: are you using always the same router? [00:21] ilovefairuz, I have on top right corner NetworkManager Applet 0.8 . I'm wired connected to the internet, my usb wireless connected to usb port as well. [00:22] yashi-: i am wireless, and use different access points at work and home === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [00:22] ???????? [00:22] cesc_xubuntu: what you click on it, you don't see a list of available wireless networks? [00:22] p1und3r: ok then a configuration via wpa_supplicant isnt a solution [00:23] yashi-: i don't understand [00:24] p1und3r: what happens if you write nm-applet into the rc.local [00:24] yashi-: nm-applet is an application to manage my network connections, and it refuses to start on boot [00:24] yes, i am in other machine and i reboot ubuntu with cd live [00:24] yashi-: rc.local is not for GUI applications [00:24] yashi-: i haven't tried that yet because there must be a problem if it's not working the ubuntu way [00:24] p1und3r: delete the entry in startup applications dialog and add a new one [00:24] * mrgenixus is sorry if people wree asking me clarifying questions -- I had a little emergency here -- was AFK [00:25] ilovefairuz: you are right..:X [00:25] yashi-: Use sys>prefs>startup apps for user programs and rc.local for processes that will be run as root [00:25] ilovefairuz: ok that was my next step, let me try that [00:25] ilovefairuz, yes I can see some now. Does that means it's fully working ? Because before I disconnected the wired internet connection, went to the terminal window, typed iwconfig and wlan0 was like this... [00:25] yashi-: nm-applet is a user program [00:25] soreau:are you sure? [00:25] wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any [00:25] Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm [00:25] Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off [00:25] Power Management:off [00:25] cesc_xubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:25] yashi-: Yes. See startup applications, it should already be there. [00:26] What's the difference in the stuff you'd burn as an ISO and just burning as a image file? [00:26] hello [00:26] cesc_xubuntu: that means it's not connected to any wireless access points/networks, that's normal, it takes time to scan networks [00:26] !hi | sailendra [00:26] sailendra: 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! [00:26] ilovefairuz, then I tried to put the wireless adapter in mode monitor entering iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor and I got an error [00:26] C_Okie: You always want to burn image to disk, not as a file. The iso is the raw data image [00:26] iam unable to open wxdownloader can u help me [00:27] soreau: i deleted it, its useless for me...but i remember that i had to start it via sudo nm-applet otherwise it didnt work [00:27] bye tizbac [00:27] yashi-: The only reason it didn't work is because you ran it as root (with sudo) [00:27] bye tizbac [00:27] IE infra recorder vs iso recorder disk imag to a cd vs iso image to a dvd [00:27] yashi-: It probably screwed up your permissions and from then on, you could only run it as root [00:27] cesc_xubuntu: you don't need to do this at all for it to scan networks, monitor mode reduces the functionality of the card to ONLY monitor wireless packets, won't connect to any networks [00:28] soreau: that might be :) [00:28] sailendra: how did you install it? [00:28] yashi-: You'd have to reset whatever files are owned by root in ~/ [00:28] yashi-: set them back to $USER [00:29] iam running ubuntu 10.04, i installed wxwidgets after that i installed it [00:29] Is using infra recorder vs iso recorder to burn to a cd vs DVD ( iso ) make a difference [00:29] sailendra: wxwidgets or wxdownloader? did you use software center? [00:30] no [00:30] by directly sh installation from termianal [00:30] when i go to places and choose network and select my win7-machine then a pop-up appears then i insert the username and password ....it will not give access...? [00:31] i just ordered some open source pizza from linux [00:31] ilovefairuz: re-adding it to startup applications didn't work either ;/ [00:31] wxwidgets is a framework like thing for that download manager [00:31] Hi guys, last night i'd a suddenly power shutdown and i cant pass by ubuntu splash screen, so i disabled the splash at the boot parameters and got it: "init: eucalyptus-network (lo) main process (704) killed by TERM signal", and thats the last message the terminal gives me, then i cant boot the front end. Any idea? [00:31] p1und3r: is it enabled? (tick the checkbox to the left) [00:31] ilovefairuz: yeah i'm not that new [00:32] ilovefairuz: im usually pretty good, but this is really strange [00:32] p1und3r: what happens you when type this in a terminal? nm-applet --sm-disable [00:32] tupi: Try booting into recovery mode, drop to a root shell and run 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' [00:33] ilovefairuz: ** (nm-applet:1592): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 [00:33] soreau by dropping to a root shell u mean "ctrl + alt F1" and log in as root?

[00:34] tupi: No, in this case I mean select Recovery Mode from your boot menu, then it should boot to a screen that lets you select a root shell [00:34] ilovefairuz, I'm going to unplug my wired connection... coming back in a few minutes. Thanks.. [00:34] soreau ok. But i already tried to boot with recovery mode and didnt got that option of log in as some user. [00:35] soreau actually, the recovery mode returned the same "init: eucalyptus-network (lo) main process (704) killed by TERM signal" error [00:35] tupi: I somehow doubt that's the actual problem even though it's the last message [00:35] can anybody helpme with a little sound problem on a laptop asus with hda intel card... [00:35] soreau me too [00:35] u need some luck? go to http://www.buyingluck.com [00:35] tupi: Does the system lock up at that point or what happens?

[00:37] soreau i know how to boot a live cd, but the part of "chroot" to a filesystem i have no clue.

[00:38] MrBuyLuck, please stop. OPs? [00:38] tupi: Ok, it tells you how to do it in the grub guide which I will reference, but just use the chroot part and where it says run grub commands, you can run any other commands as if you were booted into that partition [00:38] ! grub2 | tupi [00:38] tupi: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

First thing I would try to do is run apt-get update/upgrade but not too sure about what might have happened exactly.

There's also lucid-security, which is updates, but security specific ones [01:07] umm nope on the server cd you can select advanced mode [01:07] Flannel: Oh, cool. So if I want more recent versions I'll go with lucid-updates?

Also, how would you go about transferring /home/ to a new install? [01:07] Flannel: Oh, nevermind [01:07] clusty_: here i'll format the disk and then load up the installer and we'll see if you have any idea what to do [01:07] dxtr: well, you go with lucid *and* lucid-updates (and lucid-security). This is almost certainly already enabled for you, so just use your package manager and it'll happen automatically [01:08] I see I'm using it :P well then, some package maintainer is lazy!

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:38] DasEi - yeah seems like the instructions from http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu_with_a_minimal_installation_step-by-step -- which as of like a few weeks ago worked for me everywhere, but tonight something happened and its all busted now [01:38] hmmm i am not sure what is wrong but when i installed it [01:38] my main log in is custom and not admin [01:38] hey guys how do i save my pitivi project as an avi [01:38] gbally, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [01:39] michael_: that made no sence 'custome not admin' ? [01:39] and i can not access my root directory [01:39] michael_: you mean / or /root ? [01:39] it says that i am not the owner of it [01:39] yes [01:39] yes to what? [01:39] ooo root [01:39] DasEi - maybe i can clear stuff out and re-add it somehow? [01:39] michael_: you may be confused as to how ubuntu handles 'root' access. [01:40] !root | michael_ [01:40] michael_: 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 [01:40] that is possible [01:40] michael_: what is possible? be a bit more verbose and concise... we are having to guess as to what you are meaning. [01:40] petriborg: strange thing, I just ran it myself, it also fetched the key, but no entry in my sources.list [01:40] how do you remove a directory, all it's sub directories and folders? [01:40] opij: rm -rf dirtodelste [01:40] DasEi - ok so it isn't just me [01:40] no worries [01:40] DasEi - something must be fucked up on the server === randomusr is now known as Guest38484 [01:41] in my file system [01:41] i do a properties on it [01:41] !language > petriborg [01:41] petriborg, please see my private message [01:41] just the one that says root in it [01:42] michael: gksu is the gui version of sudo [01:42] hey im trying to save my pitivi file in avi format but render project is greyed out. anyone know why? cant find an answer [01:43] gksu is dangerous to new users [01:43] yes it is [01:43] new users using sudo when they dont know what they are doing.. are dangerous to ubuntu :) [01:43] :) [01:43] hmm [01:43] sadly they are dangerous on windows too, but nobody tells them :( [01:43] make senes [01:43] and right now i think i am very dangrous :) [01:44] I do know that my hard drive has serious issues [01:45] michael_: so far ive not really seen you state an actual issue. [01:45] sudo won't let u do to much harm though [01:45] gksudo is just a wrapper to sudo.. that sets a few env variables.. its no more or less dangerous tjhen sudo/gksudo [01:45] sup room [01:45] petriborg: something is wrong there, you seem right, keyserver is ub, but not the subdirs of the ppa server http://pastebin.com/iqN9SxKp [01:45] hey boss [01:46] hey im trying to save my pitivi file in avi format but render project is greyed out. anyone know why? cant find an answer [01:46] I am very new to ubuntu and have disk issues could somone please private me if you have time [01:46] psycho789: save it to some other format. then convet it.. avi is a container.. not a codec.. [01:46] michaeljust stay here, fsck problems ? [01:46] oh ok [01:46] michael_: best to keep it in the channel. and state what the issue is. so far its just sounds like you dont understand how linux works. [01:47] Dr_Willis, - true [01:47] when i do a file brows [01:47] and i check out the properties of my root directory [01:47] Dr_Willis: cant save it to any video format. i can only save it to project format [01:47] michael_: then ? [01:47] michael_: you mean / or /root ? dident i ask that earlier? [01:47] hey [01:47] userdel: user ross is currently logged in [01:47] How to get drive icons to show on the desktop in Kubuntu Lucid? [01:47] how do i solve this problem? [01:47] !linux > michael_ [01:47] michael_, please see my private message [01:47] DasEi - ok well good to know, i've said something in the xbmc channel but no one is alive there out of some near 200 ppl, so i guess just must wait until someone realizes it and fixes it :( [01:47] i tried killing all processes that were owned by ross [01:48] how do i know what drive my mbr is on, with grub 2 [01:48] michael_: theres no need to be messing with /root/ and / is the system directory. Not really much need to be messing with that either unless you know what you are doing. [01:48] i wanna install burg :D [01:48] qwer: failing everything else, reboot and dont log in as ross [01:48] i see this under permission "you are not the owner" [01:48] michael_: right, root is [01:48] is that something wrong ? [01:48] michael_: yes.. you are NOT the owner.. its iowned by root. not your user.. [01:48] When I go to System Monitor->Processes I don't see nothing that reminds me of samba or samba: Does it mean the samba service is not running? TIA! [01:48] michael_: no [01:48] Dr_Willis: Shouldnt I be able to see my own shares when I go to Places->Network->Windows Network? [01:48] oh ok [01:49] michael_: your shit is in /home/ [01:49] michael_: ----> . so far its just sounds like you dont understand how linux works. [01:49] michael_: no, that's a proteection liar of linux [01:49] nimbiotics: should be able to.

Do I need to point dolphin to use /dev/input/js0? [02:03] nimbiotics: sudo /etc/init.d samba restart [02:03] But for programs and processes [02:03] Dr_Willis, or is it more complicated than that?

I try to tell dolphin to use js0, but nothing happens. Do you think I need some sort of driver for my adapter? [02:05] thune3, thank you that's what I was looking for [02:05] When a network location is mounted, where can it be accessed within the filesystem?

[02:18] DasEi: Yeah, that'd be unfortunatel. If it's a hardware problem there's very little I can do. [02:18] harmandeep: that (3) is the man revision i guess, this is the amnual yo are looking at [02:18] Andorin: Is it a black screen or a turned off monitor? [02:19] Oh, and - the sound preferences indicator from stock Ubuntu controls the volume and hardware selection as you would expect - even change output device while something is playing with no hiccups. [02:19] st__ what do you mean? [02:19] Andorin: Do you know if the monitor gives usefull error messages when you try to use an unavailable resolution? [02:19] Andorin: checked the syslog already ? and also /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log ? [02:19] Ober7: No, that is the section of the manpage. Different stuff goes in different sections. '5' contains configuration files. [02:19] Ober7: are u referring revision = section ? [02:19] i mean what I just said [02:20] harmandeep: I can confirm that man 1 ulimit is in manpages-posix, as I have that installed here.

[02:21] I.D. = UUID for Grub [02:21] can I format the disk so it stay the same?

I recall a joystick test/config tool at teh getdeb web site i played with the other day [02:29] my android won't automount when I plug it in and turn on storage, how do I make it mount? [02:29] yeah, or the app could be bad [02:29] i2c\, plus, 1gb is more than enough for vista [02:30] DasEi: darn, thanks anyways [02:30] anyone? [02:30] rich__, why would you install Windows in virtual machine? do it vice-versa [02:30] panoptical, what does ram segments have to do with my joystick though?

[02:30] hello everyone, I'm installing the tracker search tool 0.8.15 for gnome un ubuntu 10.4. I've used synaptic to install it & it lauches but there are no menu options to configure it. The only thing listed are files, folders, etc on the left hand side. But there are no menu items. I've removed & reinstalled it multiple times. I've also installed it along with the tracker-utils packages & it still does the same thing. Then I [02:30] removed it & used apt, which gives the same results. Any idea what this might be? thanks, Mark [02:31] I was under the impression that it worked that way. [02:31] corey__, the app has to load itself into ram, but if it tries to load into a place it doesnt have permission to load on, it produces a segmentation fault [02:32] i2c\, check your fstab for invalid UUIDs, you may know them fro your partitions by using 'blockid' [02:32] Question: I have my Ubuntu Desktop Folder as my Shared Folder in my WinXP virtual box vm.

[02:33] delaware: game [02:34] i2c\, sorry i don't have a linux available at the moment [02:34] do you have teamviewer? you could connect to my machine [02:34] delaware: a game that has platinum/gold status with lucid, not a 4 years old distro [02:34] i2c\, the command is sudo blkid [02:34] st__, H.264 still missing, I didnt install the dbg packages. Or I need them? [02:34] DasEi: but i love that game! and the newest one that came out is too graphics intesnse for my 3+ yo laptop gpu [02:34] The reason for these questions, I use ubuntu daily, but, I am wanting to get more in to pc gaming and I want to have windows for gaming.

Does anyone know what this could be? thanks, Mark [02:36] Dr_Willis: there are few versions, the last ones are very ressource-hungry, up to two could work in wine I guess [02:37] With a lot of the Online games. they got the Punkbuster and other anti cheat stuff that can also cause issues in wine. [02:37] delaware: might be right, or a second hd [02:37] DasEi: yea. I got the old ones.. somewhere.. in a box.. :) [02:37] hi everyone.... where can I ask questions about banshee? It's reading all my folders as media folter (ie the Video folder) I just want it to scan the Music folder... How can i fix that? [02:37] Dr_Willis, Okay I found that utility you were talking about, and I found out that /dev/input/js0 is my keyboard for some reason! how can i change this? [02:37] I am trying to avoid having 2 seperate machines but it is looking like I may have to get another [02:37] stuardo, I believe it's in Options [02:37] corey__: js0 = joystick. how are you determing its your 'keyboard' ? [02:38] DasEi: is it even worth it to boot off an external usb hd into xp or would it be too slow? [02:38] Is it possible to choose or change default kernel during ubuntu installation process? === emma is now known as em [02:38] st__: negative, I already set it to read only my Music folder as library... but it doesn't care [02:38] corey__: a fancy gamepad could in fact be a joystick and keyboard.. and even mouse... [02:38] does anyone have a clue on what would cause the ubuntu software center to not fully load? [02:38] thanks for the info guys. night. [02:38] asanir22, no [02:38] a file is corrupted redlcl0ud? [02:38] hellp [02:38] delaware: usb 2 and a capable harddrive, possibly sata, that will do [02:39] Dr_Willis, I ran that utility, it told me that the name of my keyboard was on js0 [02:39] can you uninstall and reinstall it using sudo apt? [02:39] DasEi: Cool thanks! [02:39] asanir22, you will need "alternate installer" in "experet mode" [02:39] Question: I have my Ubuntu Desktop Folder as my Shared Folder in my WinXP virtual box. That shared folder which is the x: drive on the WinXP vm is also desigated as the WinXP Desktop in the WinXP registry. Thus I see all my Ubuntu desktop files and folders on my WinXP desktop. The problem is that only the files work...if I click a folder on the WinXP desktop...they do not open. Any idea how to increase the permissions [02:39] or fix this? [02:39] delaware: what are the specs of the desktop box ? and anyway, 2005.. that was not that hungry software [02:39] st__ how to enable alternate installer? [02:39] !alternate [02:39] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [02:40] i2c\, I haven't tried doing that but I am still slowly learning more about ubuntu while I use it [02:40] asanir22: ^ [02:40] DasEi: i forget off the top of my head [02:41] I don't know if you can reinstall it using command line, maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in? [02:41] not able to get that panel reset code to work for some reason [02:41] Could a broken video adapter stop gnome from displaying on the monitor, but allow anything else (BIOS screen, grub menu, terminal window) to display? [02:41] With Suspend/Hibernate.. one is 'to ram' other is to 'disk' - Its 'suspend to ram' right? and Hibernate is 0 power.. saved to disk? or am i backwards? [02:41] st__: found it.. thank you :D [02:41] Dr_Willis, so what can I do to get my gamepad to be js0? [02:41] everything else runs with no problems [02:41] anyone know why the folks that were in charge of the wifi icon in ubuntu got a bit dislexic with their online/offline icons? heh when I'm online I get the "Wifi is offline" icon, and when I'm offline I get the "Wifi connected" icon. This is a new install.. [02:41] windows uses the term 'sleep' and 'hibernate' dosent it.. hibernate = suspend? [02:42] Dr_Willis: ur first statement is t [02:42] correct [02:42] xomp_, is your system in English? [02:42] corey__: unplug it.. see if /dev/js0 vanishes.. plug it in.. see if it comes back.. every game pad i have is /dev/input/js# buy default [02:42] st__, yes [02:42] suspend = ram [02:42] Because when I start this computer running Lucid, everything goes okay except I get just a black screen when it's time for gtk to run. [02:42] Ober7: Ok. :) they seem to want to change the terms every so often. i rarely use the features. but its nice to try every so often and see if they work. [02:42] can anyone help, cant get the panel reset code to work [02:42] when you put your system in suspend do active programs continue to run? I'm assuming not [02:43] hibernate is suspend-to-disk [02:43] Now, this happens in a live environment too, like off a USB drive, so I really don't think it's an issue with the current Lucid install. What I'd like to know is whether this is a hardware issue./ [02:43] Ober7: got a new laptop. :) time to see if ubuntu does hibernate/sleep/suspend/goes comatose now with those features [02:43] hi all. whats the difference between synaptic package manager and ubuntu update manager under administration ? im confused [02:43] Andorin: it should take you to gnome desktop wtf. [02:43] i2c\: no [02:43] lame [02:43] Dr_Willis, I tried that, js0 doesn't go anywhere after unpluggin and plugging back in [02:43] DasEi: ecommended 2ghz, 512mb, 3GB, geforce 8xxx [02:43] i2c\: it wouldent be suspended then .. would it.. :) [02:43] elkclone: Well, the login sound plays, and Pidgin runs automatically on login like normal (I can see this computer sign in) [02:44] st__, any particular reason you wanted to know if my system was in english? heh [02:44] well, the monitor can shut off? :) [02:44] elkclone: So I assume the system is running fine; there's just a problem with displaying it [02:44] delaware: uups [02:44] i2c\: monitor off - is another option if thats all you want. [02:44] xomp_, it could be translation error then :) [02:44] i2c\: my screensaver does that after 5 min automatically [02:44] Andorin: what install is it. and what os is it dual booted with ? [02:44] is there a serious video editor for ubuntu [02:44] how can I format the disk so it's UUid would stay the same? [02:44] hi, is there any way to make fsck serial instead of parallel? parallelism made it into 10.04, and it makes fsck about 20x slower for me, because I have three partitions [02:44] st__, well it's not textual but rather the graphical icon representation itself [02:44] elkclone: It's Lucid, and it's not dual-booting. [02:44] st__: you can set the UUID with the tune2fs command aferwards if you want to. [02:44] DasEi: huh? [02:45] back up data? [02:45] delaware: that's quite huge for 2005 game I think [02:45] st__: tune2fs --help --> the -U option [02:45] and boot off disk [02:45] oi [02:45] ok i'll try it [02:45] !br | jimthemalformed_ [02:45] jimthemalformed_: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:45] ivan: it shouldent be doing partitions in parallel i thought.. only extra hard drives.. [02:46] Andorin: can you boot off disk and back your data up? [02:46] st__, if it would help here is a screencap of the dislexic wifi icon thing http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/4174/screenshotdyk.png [02:46] Dr_Willis: they're definitely all on one hard drive; there's a ticket on launchpad saying it was enabled even for partitions on the same drive, with the rationale that with ionice it won't be slower (but this is a lie) [02:46] elkclone: Probably. I can boot from the disk and get the command line, but that's it. [02:46] DasEi: yes it is, very intense off road rally race game. i have everything except the gpu, i only have a geforce go 6150 which will run the graphics at medium level for good fps [02:47] ivan: never noticed. I always set teh 'check after X mounts' differently for every partition. so i never need to check more then 1 at a time. [02:47] Andorin: is ur card nvidia? [02:47] Andorin: yah just get in there and make a backup of data and do a reinstall. [02:47] Ober7: yes [02:47] Dr_Willis: ah, I recheck them all the time because ext4 has trashed my data before [02:47] later all, time to video some lightning... [02:47] Ober7: I don't know.. let me check. [02:47] ext4 fsck is very fast, except, uh, if you do fscks in parallel [02:47] Andorin: it is , an onboard [02:47] ivan: ive had more hard drive failures then i have ext4 failures.. :) [02:47] Andorin: if you feel lucky you could run update manager from terminal. just google it. [02:47] Andorin, Ober7, sorry, nick-miss [02:48] elkclone: What would that do for me? [02:48] very confused about the concept of synaptic package manager and ubuntu update manager [02:48] it might update the buggness and a reboot sometimes its preventative maintence that is neglected and a simple update provides a fix to default settings. [02:49] st__, I may just make a "ur doing it wrong ubuntu" image macro with my snapshot and post it on websites lol [02:49] blackMatrix: the update manager just basically runs 'sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade' [02:49] blackMatrix: the package maanger can do that.. and let you install other packages you tell it to. [02:49] xomp_, I would check if it is a known bug first [02:50] ah, that clears up a bit for me. thanks Dr_Willis === hagebake is now known as hagabaka [02:50] blackMatrix: the update manager i also think handles the dialogs telling you theres updates.. but i rarely use it. [02:50] blackMatrix: about once a week i do the update/upgrade thing. [02:51] so they both use the apt-get binary ? [02:51] Dr_Willis, I tried that, js0 doesn't go anywhere after unpluggin and plugging back in [02:51] Ober7: Nope, not an nvidia [02:51] Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could have some help with proftpd [02:51] missing vid driver perhaps. [02:52] elkclone: Your solution implies that there's something wrong with the current installation of Ubuntu, but once again, this happens when booting from disk -as well as- when booting from USB drive. [02:52] oh ok [02:52] I have doubts that a reinstallation would fix it. [02:52] Dr_Willis: do both use apt-get command ? [02:52] hardware issue then [02:52] mabey the iso you downloaded is corrput, did u check the hashes? [02:52] anyone know how to manually choose kernel during "expert mode" installation of ubuntu server? (sure it's possible) [02:52] omg [02:53] NixGeek: It's the same .iso I've been using since Lucid came out, so no. [02:53] asanir22, there is a stage for it [02:53] cant find it st__ [02:53] time to twist one sit back and relax m8te. [02:53] it doesnt bring that stage [02:54] <|enigma|> does python support windows 7 [02:54] <|enigma|> cus I didn't see windows 7 installer [02:54] * elkclone pulls out Andorin's video card and cleans the contacts. [02:54] |enigma|, sure it does [02:54] elkclone: It's an onboard graphics card [02:54] |enigma|, it's just an interpreter [02:54] <|enigma|> okey [02:55] !apt | blackMatrix [02:55] blackMatrix: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[02:55] So. Hardware issue? If so, is there anything I can do about it? [02:55] supertuxkart crashes before I can start playing. in ubuntu 10.04 [02:55] When I access my ftp (proftpd managed with gadmin-proftpd). I can delete/rename stuff in the top directory, but when I go into a sub directory, I get 550 permission denied. Any ideas? [02:55] thanks Dr_Willis ubottu [02:56] * elkclone begins rubbing feet on carpet in wool socks to generate a charge. [02:56] st__ yeh off course, it's in expert mode [02:56] Dr_Willis, But even so, shouldnt i get a js1 or something when I plug it in? [02:56] Andorin: dont think so because bios is displaying, no startup ssytem speaker beeps etc [02:56] I am running one nic(staticly coded through /etc/network/interfaces) and another which is dynamic and not configured through there... I am running apache, which is unresponsive(bound to the static ip) [02:57] is it possible to adjust the volume notification from the top right to top left? [02:57] Ober7: No, the system is running normally as far as I can tell, but nothing related to the GUI displays on the monitor. [02:57] supertuxkart crashes before I can start playing. in ubuntu 10.04 [02:58] st__ how would you google for that, I failed googling [02:58] vmfoo7: awww [02:58] Andorin: can u get a virtual terminal? ctrl alt f2 etc? [02:58] Ober7: Yes, I can. [02:58] thats what my son said elkclone [02:58] ubottu: that history about APT is cool btw :-) [02:59] vmfoo7: just give him your xbox ffs.

[03:17] if that's even possible, since the rotation is constant [03:18] #ubuntu, ever since i installed some updates a couple months ago, my audio out port has stopped working. (audio works perfectly fine still). i just assumed the audio out port was broken, but i just installed windows and the port still works under windows [03:18] ring0: many apps use it, but there isn't necessarily any need for it, it just notifies you when other apps need your attention or have new information [03:18] what could cause an audio out port to stop working in ubuntu? [03:18] ring0: notify-osd is used by many GNOME apps to send notification to the user through that type of pop-up.. but i don't think it's strictly required... [03:18] Gump: checked alsamixer for out being unmuted ? [03:19] Gump: alsam also at install /update automutes [03:19] Gump: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui && alsamixergui [03:20] k thanks [03:21] My /dev/input/js0 is my keyboard for some reason, how to i fix this to make it my actual joystick? [03:21] trism, McLinux, if i try to purge it, it wants to remove deluge, gnome-power-manager and some other packages. i guess, i'll have to stick with it, since i don't want to miss deluge ;) do you know if there's a config-file from notify-osd somewhere to switch off the volume notification?

[03:24] anyone know how to boot up the livecd without a gui? [03:25] kindofabuzz: is your Windows 7 box participating in a domain? Sometimes your username needs to be "COMPUTERNAME\username"?

Yeah on the 7 box it says laptop\, do i need to change anything? i know nothing about windows 7 [03:26] Andorin: Did you ever try xforcevesa? [03:26] Hello I have a problem with the booting of my second sata drive.It's a new install 10.04 and this the third time I've tried to boot it without any success. [03:26] guys, my audio is not working at all now apparently. what software changes could cause the audio to stop working all together? [03:26] Can someone help me with this? [03:26] ironfoot495: What happens when you try? [03:26] grub2 also has no alternate boot options which seems bad [03:27] Gump: pulseaudio , if you are using GNOME [03:27] kindofabuzz: to clarify, you've set up a share on a separate machine that is running W7 and you want to connect your Ubuntu system to that share? [03:27] glassresistor: What do you mean by that? [03:27] Jordan_U: It says not support [03:27] ali_z, what should i do? update it? [03:27] no such disk!!! [03:27] ironfoot495: What is the exact message? [03:27] McLinux: no i want W7 to connect to the Ubuntu share [03:27] Gump: did it worked? [03:28] if did, try to re-install [03:28] first it say no such disk then it says not supported. [03:28] saxon I know I had problems with Vista and wubi but not with win 7. If you havnt uninstsalled the wubi from windows and reinstalled ubuntu with wubi sory I dont know beyond that [03:28] and hangs. [03:28] Jordan_U: on boot b4 i started using lucid i could boot into recovery modes and old kernels etc. [03:28] ironfoot495: Are all of your drives showing up in the BIOS? [03:28] ali_z, sorry. high as fuck right now :/ so wait, open pulseaudio? [03:29] hey guys, I'm having trouble with broadcom-wl and conky [03:29] glassresistor: Ubuntu hides the menu by default, hold shift during boot to see it. [03:29] I will send you a copy of the fdisk -l I think so ? I have to turn it off to go check. [03:29] bb [03:29] !language | Gump [03:29] Gump: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:30] Jordan_U: well i need to run fsck either way, never had this many problems with fsck on boot b4 [03:30] My /dev/input/js0 is my keyboard for some reason, how to i fix this to make it my actual joystick? [03:30] anyone know how to get info from NetworkManager into conky? [03:30] Gump: first, try to run 'sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start' [03:30] kindofabuzz: Try checking this fix -- see "Best answer" http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue [03:30] Gump: look at the output [03:30] I've got a problem with Wubi. When I try to load Ubuntu, it takes me to a limited GRUBonDOS menu, and I don't know how to load Ubuntu from there. [03:30] "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions" [03:30] McLinux: will do. thanks [03:31] ali_z, "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions" is the output [03:31] how can I either A) turn video ts DVD files in an ISO or B) burn video ts DVD files to DVD? [03:31] saxon: Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't use grub4dos. Are you sure that's the version of Ubuntu you installed, or alternately are you sure it's not a grub2 shell? [03:31] Jordan, that's what it said at the top of the menu screen [03:32] Gump: oh , then, try to run 'sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart' [03:32] I just need a command from the grub> line to reload [03:32] I can't get get conky to properly report network info when using the broadcom wl driver === sam_ is now known as sinusoiddstairs [03:32] Niglop: do tou already have the ts folder or need convert video first? [03:32] saxon: Then you must not have installed Ubuntu 10.04, or maybe you have it left over from an old install. Check what version of Ubuntu you actually installed. [03:32] McLinux: actually that's the link i was looking at earlier. but i can't find the Local Security Policy. why does windows have to be so difficult? :) [03:32] so after fsck it get mountall: Filesystem has errors [03:32] ali_z, it gives the same return no matter what i type in [03:32] yeah htrujillo I already have the ts folder [03:33] Jordan, I upgraded to 10.04 under Wubi [03:33] then modprobe FATAL Error inserting padlock_sha [03:33] No such device [03:33] I know it is, as I update every 6 months. [03:33] saxon: Ok, an upgrade from a previous version makes sense. [03:33] saxon: What version of Ubuntu did you install initially? [03:33] Ive got a problem with /dev/input/js0, its reading as my keyboard, but I want it to read my joystick, how can i do this? [03:34] kindofabuzz: Ask Bill. I recall trying this with Vista months ago. Do you have a local security policy icon in the Administrative Tools folder in the Control Panel? [03:34] Niglop: use Brasero and create a DVD video project, then drag de ts folder and burn at minimun speed [03:34] ok thanks htrujillo [03:34] 9.04 was installed initially, upgraded to 9.10, then to 10.04 [03:35] saxon: are you in a grub shell? does it say grub:sh> or grub:rescue> ? [03:35] it just says grub> [03:35] McLinux: no, that's the problem. it's so stupid that there are different versions of windows [03:35] it offers to hit tab, then it shows a mess of commands. [03:35] saxon: ok type: ls and write the output hee [03:35] here * [03:35] kindofabuzz: yeah.. home premium? [03:36] ilovefairuz: It's grub4dos, so it won't have ls. [03:36] I'd have to reboot to get to that command line, as far as I know [03:36] how did this get installed .. [03:37] ilovefairuz: Before Ubuntu 9.10 grub4dos was used with wubi (with the transition to grub2 which can do this natively, wubi was also transitioned) [03:37] I want to change the format in which the debug locals window displays data (visual studio 2010). Can anyone PM me? Its private. [03:37] Gump: it seems that it's normal [03:37] McLinux: I guess. just messing with it until Ubuntu 64 is downloaded so i can delete this crap [03:37] Jordan_U: ah, I see [03:37] [03:38] kindofabuzz: You might have to resort to editing the settings in the Registry if you're confident. Googling will help you find the answer. [03:38] hey all, I've tried a bunch of ways to add a picture to an audio interview that doesn't change slightly when going from frame to frame on vimeo. Does anyone have a how-to link on how to do on ubuntu? [03:38] Gump: if you run aplay, could you get some sounds? [03:38] Jordan_U: so the command set is the same as grub 1.x? [03:38] McLinux: yeah, screw it, W7 is about to be gone anyways [03:38] Is there a way to get your files moved over from wubi to windows, while in windows, and just delete, and reinstall? [03:38] Gump: run 'aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Side_Left.wav' [03:39] ilovefairuz: grub 0.X (the last release of grub legacy was 0.96) [03:39] ali_z, no, no sound [03:39] RedXIII visual studio under wine ? [03:39] Does ubuntu send a system message of any sort when it goes idle? I'm trying to detect when a user goes idle in ubuntu with python and dbus. [03:39] saxon: Not easily, but it can be done fairly easily from a liveCD [03:39] is there something i can do to force the lucid boot cd to not start x or a splash screen [03:39] Oer: under windows. I'm having trouble getting information over other means [03:39] Gump: then, use 'sudo ' to run [03:39] * RedXIII tried #windows and #programming and #linux [03:39] sorry this is ubuntu support RedXIII [03:39] Would a 10.04 Live CD work? [03:39] !alternate | glassresistor [03:40] glassresistor: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [03:40] saxon: Yes. [03:40] Gump: if also no sounds, i guess that the ALSA driver has problem [03:40] saxon: can you join IRC from another computer? [03:40] =/ alright. [03:40] RedXIII, join #winehq ? [03:40] fairuz, not possible. [03:40] ali_z, no sound. what does it mean that the alsa driver has problems? [03:40] !tab | saxon [03:40] saxon: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:40] Jordan_u: http://pastebin.ca/1918589 [03:40] Jordan_U: thanks but dont have a blank cd, well mabye i do hum [03:40] !tab | helloworld [03:40] helloworld: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:41] Gump: alsa is the sound driver by default [03:41] glassresistor: It's possible to boot the LiveCD without starting the GUI, but very difficult to actually install after that. [03:41] Gump: it has problem, which means it could not drive the sound card normally [03:41] Jordan_U: don't need to install just fsck [03:41] OK, when I have the live disc booted, how do I access my wubi files from the live disc ubuntu? [03:42] glassresistor: press shit to get to the grub menu, press e to edit the line, remove "quiet splash", press enter and b to boot [03:42] ali_z, understood. im gonna try and update the driver [03:42] Gump: when you run aplay, what is the output info [03:42] ilovefairuz: press shift*? [03:42] ali_z, output is "Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Side_Left.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono [03:42] " [03:42] Does anyone know of a download manager that allows you to choose to only download while idle? [03:42] glassresistor: yes [03:43] Gump: OMG, the result shows that the alsa driver is working [03:43] glassresistor: Hold shift during boot and select the recovery mode option. [03:43] glassresistor: In the actual install rather than the LiveCD [03:43] ali_z, :/ nothing is muted, i checked [03:44] the sound seems to have coincided with installing the alsa mixer gui [03:44] i uninstalled it though, and still no audio [03:44] *the sound disapearing [03:45] ok i found the problem with my internal speakers [03:45] the audio out port is still "broken" though [03:46] the speakers make a split second of sound when plugged in and then it cuts out [03:46] but the port works under windows [03:46] hello ... does anyone know of a way i can reinstall ubuntu from remote or ssh ... something like that from network ? [03:46] my dvd isnt showing up, do I have to mount it?

[04:16] newbie need help here ..i am installing wubi on an intel dual core laptop running win7-64, but the wubi is automatically downloading amd64.iso [04:16] Guest16178, You can ask us questions and we'll try and answer them :) [04:16] Guest16178: anything but pr0n [04:16] will it be a problem? [04:16] how do i have a name? [04:17] edbian: set brain in neutral [04:17] or should i just grab the i386.iso version myself? [04:17] Blue1, :) [04:17] Guest16178: type /nick newnamehere === Guest16178 is now known as rockman [04:17] bobails, amd64 is the 64 bit edition. It will work on your 64bit processor. [04:17] hah,thinks [04:17] rocode: thanks [04:18] hey there.. im using 10.4.. i wanna put the bottom panel to the right side of the screen.. but the icons are all messed up and the images are wrong... is there anothe rsolution? [04:18] i am the hero rockman ,robert too [04:18] rockman, Do you like Ubuntu? Do you have a question about it? [04:19] btw, what's the difference between wubi and a true win7/linux dual boot? is one way better than the other? [04:19] since 1998,i use it for years [04:19] hi all, i downloaded a source of one package('apt-get source *'), then how could i rebuild the source package? [04:19] tarikk, did you increase the width of the bar to adjust for the width of the icons and text? [04:19] bobails: well wubi runs under windows - a dual boot win/linux - linux doesn't run under windows [04:20] DasEi, Samsung T260, H30-81 V56-75 1920x1280@60 [04:20] bobails, you will have better performance running in a dual boot scenario, as Ubuntu will not be running as a guest operating system. [04:20] where are you edbian? [04:20] blue1: i am more concerned about performance loss [04:20] HELLO!!! [04:20] rockman, I'm in VA (is that what you mean?) [04:20] rocode, yes i did.. the background image is tile'd accross the whole bar.. and the the buttons are wrong etc. [04:20] bobails: dual boot [04:20] linux_inferno, Hi [04:20] rocode: thanks for confirming that [04:21] bobails: i run windows in a virtual box - it works - but slowly [04:21] Blue1: yes it does under colinux or a vm [04:21] bobails, by default, Ubuntu will attempt to install side by side with Windows 7, and you will just choose which one you wish to boot into at startup. [04:21] Blue1, zombo? [04:21] VA? where? in usa? [04:21] edbian: biggest time waster on the net... [04:21] tarikk, how are the buttons wrong? [04:21] Blue1, ha ha ha [04:22] rockman, VA = Virginia. Yes in the US [04:22] edbian: ;-p~ [04:22] rocode: you are saying i can just burn a ubuntu CD, and try install it on my win7 lap, it will offer dual boot option? [04:22] Do I need to add a subnet to my network to be able to netboot server1 from share1 and server 2-5 from share 2 [04:22] rockman, This is ubuntu support. Do you have an ubuntu related question? === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [04:22] Jordan_U: it booted in text mode now im getting a constant list of i/o and squashfs errors [04:22] O,i'm in china,Xchat is like the ICQ? [04:22] Jordan_u sorry it took so long got caught up in the red tape. [04:22] glassresistor: Bad burn or bad drive. [04:23] possibly both [04:23] thats what i figured [04:23] Jordan _u: http://paste-bin.com/view/22c6650f [04:23] [04:23] View Raw [04:23] google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad); [04:23] rockman, It is.

Windows can do this just by double-clicking on the iso file. Then, insert the disc and restart your computer. If your BIOS is setup properly, it will boot from disk, and Ubuntu will give you the option of installing or running as a live cd. [04:23] hola... se habla español???

[04:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:24] ironfoot495: Are you running Ubuntu 9.10? [04:25] rocode, ok cool just a minute :) [04:25] Got a ? I was testing to see if an older Dell Inspiron 1501 would accept Edubuntu (I want it for a laptop for my son) and I selected try before install. I did notice while it tried to boot that there was a wireless firmware error. It suggested I got to a website to upgrade drivers. Is this something I should prepare for upon installing it fully? [04:25] ironfoot495: Nvm, I can see you have both 9.10 and 10.04 from the boot info script output. === Thornton is now known as TheAnswer [04:25] keith1, You should make sure you have a wired internet connection on install. Then there is a good chance the wifi drivers will be installed when the OS is installed. [04:26] keith1, after you install, you can get the latest firmware updates and apply them without having to connect from system itself. [04:26] Can anyone help me with a networking/netbooting issue????? [04:26] linux_inferno, what seems to be the issue? [04:27] I understand. I can do a wired connection. I've just had the most problems with Ubuntu on Dell laptops [04:27] Jordan_U: well cdrom is usb and hdd is sata [04:27] keith1: If you install the 'b43-fwcutter' package after installation with the ethernet connected, it should fetch them. [04:28] rocode my roommate has a share on x.x.2.2 and netboots a system. I want to netboot my system off x.x.2.20 Can i do this? [04:28] rocode or do I need to set up a share on another subnet like x.x.4.2 [04:28] thanks RobertWall I'll do that [04:29] Yes you can. You won't have an issue using the same subnet. [04:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/479212 , uchobby [04:29] OMD！ silence only there [04:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/479212 , uchobby_AFK [04:29] ironfoot495: Ironically, it appears that Ubuntu 9.10, which is installed on sda1, installed grub to the mbr of sdb. [04:29] keith1, Dell ships laptops that come with Ubuntu pre-loaded. You really shouldn't have any problems. [04:29] edbian, Dell discontinued that program, IIRC. [04:30] keith1, If you're having a lot of problems with the wifi be sure to look at the tail end of dmesg. It usually gives a helpful hint :) [04:30] How would I go about accomplishing this rocode. I was following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto [04:30] rocode, Too bad :( [04:30] Yeah I did notice that but this was an older Dell, and I was curious if that would apply in this case [04:30] question, does wine have a default direct_X dll links? [04:30] etherealite_ :still around ? [04:30] ironfoot495: Which install can you currently boot, 9.10 or 10.04? [04:31] edbian, IIRC, they discontinued non-server linux. There was a big pooha on slashdot a couple of weeks ago about it. [04:31] I had the power fail while I was resizing Partition A to Freespace B. The two changed orders in the partition table but B is still there and the same size and A is unmountable. gpart hangs after the first partition. am I hosed? [04:31] rockman, keith1: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/ubuntu?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=anavml [04:31] I am trying to boot ubuntu 10.04 x64. everything *seems* to work fine, i hear the ubuntu login sound after some time, but my monitor goes to sleep shortly after selecting "try ubuntu" on the boot screen. i have an nvidia onboard video card [04:31] ry0n: a little, least [04:31] ry0n: is there data you still need ? [04:32] linux_inferno, just make sure both of your subnet ranges do not interfere with each other. [04:32] Those sneaky Dell people preloading Ubuntu. bet that saved them some $$ [04:32] DasEi: eh, enough to spend hours but not enough to spend money? It's not important data but I'd rather not lose it if I can manually rebuild the partition table some way. [04:32] ed, etc latest news I could find was July 26 this: http://www.itworld.com/open-source/115316/calm-down-dell-not-throwing-ubuntu-linux-out [04:32] keith1, they charged extra for the laptop to come with linux, IIRC. I ended up buying mine with windows and reformatting. [04:33] and the two partitions appear to be still there and unchanged. [04:33] rocode Thanks, Ill look deeper into that [04:33] other question ,I haver a internal graphic card and i buy a nvidia 7300 ,but cant setup ,got a black screen ,how to do ? [04:33] any help getting my video card working on the ubuntu x64 live CD?? [04:33] looki these pastebin wont let me have a url whats going on hyere?????? [04:33] rocode, here is the ss http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ose740&s=4 [04:33] ry0n: ok, then you need another running ubuntu (live cd least, better usb or such), and then have to run testdisk, that can take a long time, depending on drives size [04:34] thanks for the links. I'll read up on it [04:34] I have a question [04:34] !ask | Guest34267 [04:34] Guest34267: 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. :-) [04:34] tarikk, what system theme are you using? [04:35] 10.10 doesnt support nivia [04:35] DasEi, hrm, testdisk might succeed where gpart failed? I hadn't checked it out, but it sounds like they do similar things. [04:35] i mean old nvidia cards? [04:35] testdisk can restore partitions that exist but do not appear in the partition table [04:35] Hi, does somebody know how to move "system menu" and "position menu" to "Application menu". [04:35] oscurochu, what seems to be the issue?

How do I get it to show up on the desktop like normal? Thanks I am kind of new to ubuntu [04:36] Guest34267, go to places, select the device, mount it, and it will appear on your desktop. [04:36] rockman: like which ? [04:36] rocode: I try to boot the ubuntu x64 live CD, and my monitor goes to sleep shortly after the boot screen. After a minute or two, i hear the ubuntu startup/login sound. i tried pressing alt+f1, and my monitor still remains sleeping [04:36] rocode, default one.. ambiance [04:37] dasei, 7300GT [04:37] it will not show up in places [04:37] oscurochu, enter your monitors control panel and disable sleep on lack of input detection. [04:37] Thanks for the program suggestion, but I do think it sounds like what gpart does, since they both scan partitions and try to build a new table. [04:37] rockman: supported under 10.04, and also propitary driver woks fine on that [04:38] but in the disk utility it shows up as "HTC Android Phone" [04:38] Any1 knows if i'm connected to vpn i get slow conection to internet? [04:38] when i login from sleep where ist asks fro my password, it accepts then lets me back in, goes back to sleep after about 1.5 secs and i enter my pass again and its fine? running lucid [04:38] rocode: it wont let me access the menu, everytime i press the menu button it goes to sleep [04:38] Guest34267, does it show up under "Computer" as a device? [04:39] no [04:39] it shows up in the disk utility just not the computer [04:39] DasEi:why cannt setup? is it useful to setup without nvidia card then put it on? [04:39] rocode: i even tried unplugging the cable. this monitor sucks. [04:39] tarikk, give me a second. Checking it on mine. [04:40] rocode, cool thanks [04:40] rockman: can be workaround, but why ? what happens if you try to install ? [04:40] when internal and nvidia both on PC [04:40] oscurochu, sound like. Let me see if I can find any similar issues. Can you give me your monitor make and model? [04:40] who are you?

Could you tell me what you did? Did you just change orientation? [04:45] oscurochu, sounds like a poorly designed monitor.

[04:48] but it still wont let me access the menu without a signal from the video card. oh well, now what? [04:48] DasEi: did already.... didn't work either [04:48] DasEi: would it be ok to not have a /etc/gdm/gdm.conf? [04:49] oscurochu, do you have another monitor you can test? Because if it is a actual ubuntu display issue, that would be interesting. [04:49] rockman: that's strange behaviour then, with the bios correctly set, yes, you can also install via onboard, then install driver for 7300, then put card in [04:49] rocode: yeah ill go get it [04:50] hi all. Is there a method to see which command spawned of a certain processes that I see under ps [04:50] Lost-in8: it's /etc/init/gdm.conf [04:50] DasEi: oh ok cool, ty [04:50] who can help me to download some programs used in this system?

[04:58] oscurochu: oh, I added a * and it works [04:58] Nautilus: rounded exists in the files, or in the directory? [04:58] DasEi, i forgot it now. but mainly ntfs or fat32 [04:58] oscurochu: in the files [04:58] oscurochu, did this occur before or after installation? [04:59] abhijit: these small ones often just suppport fat32, or fat 16 even [04:59] DasEi: thanks. need to wait a little. [04:59] rocode: im attempting to boot the ubuntu x64 live CD, so i havent even installed it yet. [04:59] DasEi, what should i do now? [04:59] abhijit: run gparted again and use another fs [04:59] oscurochu, that's odd. It shouldn''t be dumping you to the livecd portion without giving the option of install/livecd. Which version is this? [04:59] DasEi, gparted cant detect it. [05:00] Holy crap, I think testdisk just succeeded where gpart failed. [05:00] abhijit: make new partitiontable, first (msdos) [05:00] ironfoot495: First run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" from within 9.10, and make sure that grub is set to be installed to /dev/sda rather than /dev/sdb (do *not* select any partitions). That should also add 10.04 to the grub menu, then you should boot 10.04 and run the same command but select sdb. [05:00] DasEi, how? [05:00] abhijit: sudo fdisk -l shows the drive ? [05:00] l=l [05:00] L [05:00] ironfoot495: That way the two installs won't be stepping on each other when there are grub upgrades. [05:00] rocode, i see. but does the show desktop icon and rubbish bin normally get this big? the open windows.. they keep changing sizes get fat then thin when you open more [05:00] ok will do [05:01] rocode, it looks stupid lol.. not sure if this is just with me [05:01] tarikk, try disabling the expand option in the panel preferences. [05:01] rocode: on the 10.04 x64 live cd, it doesnt appear to give you the option. it shows some sort of splash screen, then continues to boot the live CD. now if you press a key (i pressed an arrow key), then the menu appears. i have only tried the livecd portion of the livecd. [05:01] DasEi, no it only shows sda. not my pen drive which is sdb or sdc [05:01] abhijit: so it might be broken then [05:01] abhijit: try lsusb [05:01] oscurochu, try doing a straight install without livecd boot [05:01] hi all, is there a way to setup commands to run i.e. exports, shell scripts when ubuntu server starts and also when it shutsdown / reboots ?

[05:09] ry0n: its only a dumb suggestion if it is completely unrelated to the problem, for instance, telling me to try using a different wireless device, that would be a dumb suggestion because my monitor not working has nothing to do with wireless devices.

[05:10] oky sorry [05:10] :'( [05:10] DasEi: any OS with kernel level support of SSD can support SSD. [05:10] oscurochu: nick miss ouyes: HOW does ubuntu support SSD :) [05:10] abhijit, the first step is to figure out where is your device [05:11] oscurochu: I know that , hehe [05:11] tucemiux, and how to do that? [05:11] DasEi: then i dont understand your question. [05:11] oscurochu: tell ouyes, who asked :) [05:11] DasEi, you gave upon me? :'( :'( [05:11] :( [05:12] DasEi, nick miss ouyes? what do you mean? [05:12] ??/ [05:12] sudo lshw -C disk [05:12] abhijit, sudo lshw -C disk [05:12] abhijit: no, but seems like the partiton table has been damaged, so it won't get found anymore [05:12] tucemiux, ok [05:12] DasEi, reinstall ubuntu? [05:13] abhijit: what ? cause a lost pendrive ? [05:13] no packages or dependencies of any kind are kept in /home, right? [05:13] Or repair it. [05:13] DasEi, erm, okay. Ubuntu supports SSD because the Linux kernel supports SSD. SSD is supported at the kernel level by a specific set of instructions that handle the use of a SSD device. (vague answers are the best for vague questions) [05:13] opij, no -- unless you installed somewhere in there yourself, "/home" contains your personal files [05:13] DasEi, yes i want that pen drive. i dont have money to buy new one!!! :( : '( [05:13] ok [05:13] rocode: again, you'r on a nick-miss, it was ouyes that asked [05:13] ok im trying to use a wireless adapter. when it tells me i need to put in a new line on the bottom of the modulation configuration file and type in code: then two line breaks then ndiswrapper do i literally put it in like that or just ndiswrapper?

[05:14] DasEi, I want to buy a light lap and improve its mobility(work well in a moving state), so I have to change to ssd, I doubt that ubuntu have good supports for ssd media. [05:14] tucemiux, DasEi i found it. its disk sdc and it shows in lshhw -C disk [05:14] abhijit, so you can most likely mount one of those, I try to find out if theyre being mounted already: "sudo fdisk -l" [05:14] ouyes, Ubuntu supports SSD very well, because Linux supports SSD, and was the first to support SSD. [05:14] abhijit, ready for step 2? [05:14] tucemiux, no its not mounted [05:14] ouyes: but you followed the answers and now know ssd is well supported [05:14] tucemiux, yes ready [05:15] HPtwhite: What flavor or version?

[05:15] ok, thanks [05:15] abhijit, create a mount point for your device, say "/media/pendrive", you have to chown the mount point to yourself either now or after you mount it: sudo chown username:username /media/pendrive [05:16] abhijit, let me know when youre ready for step 3 [05:16] tucemiux, can you give me step by step instruction? i dont kow how to do that === [1]zulgaban is now known as zulgaban [05:16] abhijit: sudo mkdir /media/pendrive [05:17] DasEi, done [05:17] abhijit: sudo chown -R $USER /media/pendrive [05:17] say hello to tucem.. [05:17] tucemiux, hello [05:17] DasEi, its not mounted yet so dont need -R, maybe after it's mounted then he should chown it [05:17] abhijit, follow DasEi 's directions [05:18] DasEi, tucemiux chown: missing operand after `/media/pendrive' [05:18] tucemiux, ok === uchobby_AFK is now known as uchobby [05:19] abhijit: typo ?

Parent PID 23256: /bin/sh [05:19] abhijit, do it the easy way: sudo chown myusername:myusername /media/pendrive [05:19] abhijit: I don't think we'll be able to mount it, as partiton table seems broken [05:20] tucemiux, DasEi that worked [05:20] occasionally it pops up when typing in the terminal, othertimes when large text is flowing (such as during an update) [05:20] DasEi, that worked username:username worked [05:20] HPtwhite: NDIS , WICD or an actual driver for Hardware? [05:21] DasEi, no solution? so what shoud i do with that pen drive now? :'( :'( [05:22] abhijit: the lshw, which one was the pendrive, sdb1 or sdc1 ? [05:22] :'( [05:22] DasEi, sdc [05:22] abhijit, last step, mount it, im not sure how to do that since I dont know how what partition type your pendrive uses, you typically mount a device like this: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom --- sudo mount [/dev/pendrive_device_name] /media/pendrive_mountpoint, you have to specify a format somewhere [05:22] abhijit: make that sure, else we might kill another drive [05:22] Guys, for the last 24hrs ive been trying to share a ntfs partition from my ubuntu pc without luck. I cant even see the my own shares, let alone the other PCs on the network. Can some please help me? TIA! [05:22] DasEi, yes it is sure sdc [05:23] abhijit, you have to use "sudo fdisk -l" --- make sure you dont use anything that's already mounted [05:23] tucemiux, it tells that unkknown device [05:23] tucemiux, yah [05:24] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users.

[05:37] linux_inferno, Ubuntu itself is derived from debian.

Windows search blows it away. [05:38] linux_op: Yes.

[05:39] Omen_20, I would assume because windows searching is based on an index it builds in the background? [05:39] Omen_20: it's not, once the db is set up [05:39] Hi guys, in other distros I can add a scsi hard-drive to a running machine and run: rescan-scsi-bus.sh to find the drive.

[05:44] ry0n, not another computer. in this same computer with vista [05:44] DasEi, joke [05:45] uh, couldn't it be a problem with the port or the controller then? [05:45] ok here's a fun one for the scripters out there, how do i delete ALL but one word from a line, when the word's position is not known? ie awk '{ print $# }' will not suffice [05:45] ry0n, may be [05:45] Rubi_c0N: i just did the lsusb thing and am not sure what im looking for. Vigp_ gave me a link and my device isnt there so im guessing its not supported anymore, but the lsusb sees it as a dlink and i ran across an i guess older page that said it was compatible (dont have url any longer) [05:45] HPTwhite: mount [05:45] Hrm, I think the first thing I'd try is a known good usb port. [05:45] Tricia: like a netboot ?

[05:46] ok and what am i looking for there [05:46] Tricia: ic, could use vbox for that [05:47] HPtwhite: how new is your USB adapter [05:47] brb [05:47] Rubi_c0N: its an older one. ive had it a couple years. only does G [05:47] DasEi: netbootin should do what you want, or there's another program that comes w/ lucid [05:47] DasEi: hm. That might just work. [05:48] HPtwhite: hmm google your make then look it up on backtrack forums , has it worked before ? [05:48] Ritlee: tell tricia, but that will not be same like normal install, and usbcreator is there, too (just startmedium) [05:48] hmm [05:48] G should work off the distro [05:48] not on linux, just winblows [05:48] wingdows [05:49] More like everybody in the world see through windows [05:49] yeah i found something on it and i went to follow the instructions and it gave me an odd message...ill see if i can find it again [05:49] macrohard [05:49] linux_op: still here? [05:49] HPtwhite: K [05:49] abhijit: you can try gparted live cd or oter datarecoverytools, but for now, we tried what was possible without "forensics" [05:49] HPtwhite: worst comes to worst you might have to recompile it somehow off a firmware download [05:50] DasEi, ok. thanks for your time tough. [05:50] DasEi, what about a known good USB port? I mean, he's only tried it on one port on one computer? [05:50] :) [05:50] DasEi: oh heh now i see [05:50] Ritlee: it'as funny this day, you're the third doing so :) [05:50] HPtwhite: go to free software center [05:51] Why is it that i cant see my own pc when i go to places->network? furthermore, when i click on windows network, i get error message: "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server". What can be wrong? [05:51] visitor1: ?? [05:51] Rubi_c0N: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/D-Link_WUA-2340 [05:51] DasEi: heh been a while since i have been on IRC [05:51] nimbiotics: smb.conf not altered [05:51] Rubi_c0N: thats what i was talking about with weird error on the link [05:52] ok here's a fun one for the scripters out there, how do i delete ALL but one word from a line, when the word's position is not known? ie awk '{ print $# }' will not work because the words position that i want can change within the line [05:52] DasEi: How can I fix that? [05:52] Ritlee: happens to me , too, like in in more then two conservations, but let's stay topic [05:52] Rubi_c0N: i went to software center and got ndiswrapper [05:52] nimbiotics: gksudo gedit /etc/smb.conf [05:53] nimbiotics: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [05:53] howdy folks - how do I do a copy of a dir from one user to another - and assign owner/permissions to the new user?, like: cp -r ~/somedir /home/someuser/somedir - with "someuser" having owner / perms [05:53] gksudo? I don't have to use EXPORTs? woah. [05:54] !gksudo > ry0n [05:54] ry0n, please see my private message [05:54] cp -r ~/somedir /home/someuser/somedir && sudo -l someuser && chown somedir/ ----something like that? [05:55] seems a bit overly complex for something I would've thought fairly simple :) [05:55] willwh: sudo chown -R someuser ~/somedir /home/someuser/somedir [05:55] glin [05:55] sry mt [05:55] ah, ty [05:56] man chown and I'd not be asking the question [05:56] * willwh slaps himself [05:56] thx for the prompt [05:56] oh, chown can move? dang. [05:56] willwh: problem can be that all files in there are owned by someuser then, even if before it was different [05:56] DasEi: yes - that primarly what I want in this case [05:56] is there a way/program to use a web cam as a security cam [05:56] willwh: better use rsync, which can bring permissions, too [05:57] willwh: so there you go [05:57] no need :) [05:57] one time copy [05:57] DasEi: hm. don't think it's going to work. Don't think you can use real harddrives as virtual drives with virtualbox. (unlelss I'm mistaken) [05:57] Zelozelos, zoneminder? [05:57] ill check it out ty [05:57] oh - anyone got a nice guide for configuring mpd? [05:58] Tricia: which size has the exterrnal /internal [05:58] DasEi: what+? [05:58] presumably - if symlinking some ~/Music dir - I will need to give mpd user perms to read? [05:58] DasEi: dont know what else to put in there. workgroup is right, usershare owner only is set to false and I've got at least one share: [mymedia] ///comment = My media & Documents ///read only = yes ///locking = no /// path = /media/My Media /// guest ok = yes [05:58] Tricia: the gigabytes [05:58] DasEi: 60G [05:58] Tricia: which size has the exterrnal /internal [05:58] ry0n, looks like what i ws lookin for thank you [05:59] DasEi: I'm not sure what you mean [05:59] ok here's a fun one for the scripters out there, how do i delete ALL but one word from a line, when the word's position is not known? ie awk '{ print $# }' will not work because the words position that i want can change within the line [05:59] Zelozelos, No problem, have fun. [05:59] DasEi: external HD is 60GB. [05:59] nimbiotics: browseable yes, uncomment wins.. http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/samba_server [05:59] * Zelozelos is gonna catch that possy thats messin w his cars now! [05:59] Tricia: and the internal ? [06:00] DasEi: I have 23G free. [06:00] Ritlee, you want a document that consists of the same word over and over again with lots of space around it? [06:00] nimbiotics: after altering, saving, got to restart samba to take effect [06:01] HPtwhite: What did NDIs wrapper do for you [06:01] DasEi: thanks for the link, hope it works [06:01] ry0n: lol no i want to pull ONE word out of a line, [06:01] Ritlee: okay, how do you know which word? [06:01] HPtwhite: did it crack wpa2 enterprise TKIP Mschap version 2 ;) [06:01] Ritlee: in to what? [06:01] yeah, that's what I was wondering. Which word? [06:01] stdout? [06:02] Tricia: starts with S0 and has one more number ie S01 [06:02] Tricia: so could set up a virtual hd with 10 gig, afterwards boot live in vbox and then dd it over (also can mount the vdi, might be easier), then later expand again on the 60 gb [06:02] wouldn't that be a task for grep, not awk? [06:02] willwh: if i can get it to output into anything i can manipulate it in to what i need [06:02] DasEi: hmmm you never told me the link was in ... german?! [06:02] yeah - grep will just print the line where it is exists [06:03] nimbiotics: oh sorry, getting tired, second [06:03] there's the -o flag [06:03] ry0n: grep displays the whole line that has the expression, i want the "Word" that contains the expression, not to whole line [06:03] egrep, yah [06:03] Tricia: -o with which command? [06:03] nimbiotics: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html [06:04] man egrep ( -o, --only-matching show only the part of a line matching PATTERN) [06:04] Rubi_c0N: i have no idea what u meant by that lol. i used to have it on wpa-psk2 personal TKIP === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [06:04] one thing i've never been able to grasp is correctly partioning a drive to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu [06:04] nimbiotics: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [06:04] thomson1: there isn't much to understand really [06:04] thomson1: just ask [06:04] 2 partitions is fine [06:04] -o with egrep hmmm [06:04] i'll try that ;) [06:04] thomson1, the problem isn't the partitioning, it's not having windows overwrite grub, right? [06:04] DasEi: thanks! [06:05] Ritlee: let me know if you want a simple bash script for iyt [06:05] np, bitte [06:05] I just use a little script all the time, so I can paste what I am looking for in to the terminal [06:05] well, it's mainly understanding what partitions i should have and their size [06:05] there seems to be a lot of conflicting information about it [06:05] willwh: WOOT! ty got it :D [06:05] np :) [06:05] glad I could help [06:06] thomson1: swap is orientated on the ram the box got [06:06] i've been googling this for about 5 hours now lol [06:06] really? :( ouch [06:06] thomson1, I suppose because of how you will use them. You could always sequester each OS on like their own 10gb partition and then leave the rest as a FATxx filedump. [06:06] researching under 'sed' and 'awk' but to to avail [06:06] thank ya'll [06:07] ry0n: I wouldn't [06:07] Ritlee: pm :) [06:08] thomson1: size of the drive ? [06:08] DasEi, yeah, but dual booting implies that you're not sure which OS you're going to use perhaps, if you're *not sure* how much space to give to each. [06:08] DasEi: 320 GB [06:09] ryon: but then use ext3 least, for it's journaling and fsck-functions [06:09] HPtwhite: I was joking with you [06:09] thomson1: so can go with 20GB for each OS, and do the rest in ext3 [06:09] HPtwhite: are you up and running [06:09] o lol [06:09] mounting your ext3 data dump under windows requires a 3rd party util though, doesn't it? [06:10] no im not....i still havent figured out what im supposed to do this is all greek to me [06:10] HPtwhite: really [06:10] thomson1: ext3 is well supported under win with a little addon, and home can be moved to all or a part of the storagepart later [06:11] Rubi_c0N: i can tell you what ive done so far if that helps........ [06:11] I wasn't saying fat was a better fs, just that both of his OSs would read it out of the box. [06:11] thomson1: just keep in mind the hd supports only 4 primary partitions [06:11] ry0n : use Acronis if security is not an issue [06:11] HPtwhite: shoot [06:11] ry0n: I have to agree [06:12] if unsure - fat filestore [06:12] otherwise - you'll have a lot of questions/issues in future [06:12] thomson1: linux can boot from all partitons, whereas windows, least the recent ones, demanded a primary ,idk for 7 [06:12] I got in the habit of formatting drives for solely sata to fat for interoperability. This was mostly when ntfs support in debian was minimal. [06:12] ehr, data not sata [06:13] thomson1: you are aware of primary/extended/logical ? [06:13] DasEi: yeah [06:13] fine then [06:13] Rubi_c0N: i put the drivers in a folder on the desktop....i installed ndiswrapper....i ran some commands in terminal like sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/Drivers/file name here and then something or another for a module putting ndiswrapper at the end of the file and saving it so it will startup [06:13] i am using vsplit in vi to view two files on same screen..please tell me how to switch between files [06:14] ry0n: if avoidable, there are lots of good reason to use a journaling fs [06:14] also defragmentation [06:14] although, maybe i should buy another hdd because i kinda want to keep the partition setup i hvae on this one [06:14] Rubi_c0N: and then restarted hoping it would boot up. i also configured the wireless settings to my SSID and MAC of my router setting for DHCP automatic [06:15] DasEi, yeah, I mean, my behavior is solely due to microsofts posture about interoperability. It has little to do with the merits of relative file systems. I've not had many dual boot machines though. [06:15] Rubi_c0N: i ran the lsusb commands and found the device in the list...im lost from there [06:15] HPtwhite: ok [06:16] HPtwhite: you went way to deep into that [06:16] thomson1, hard drives are cheap as all get out. It's kind of silly not to have more tb that you know what to do with as an end user. [06:16] Rubi_c0N: when i say linux n00b i really mean it :( [06:16] ry0n: datarecovery, defragmentation, speed, filerestrictions, ownership.. could become and endless talk, reall' no fat32 [06:16] is there a way to have totem remember to hid the video controlls? [06:16] Rubi_c0N: lol ok just tryin to be thorough [06:16] HPtwhite: me too its all good thats how you learn ;) [06:17] All of those advantages dissolve if the user decides to never boot ubuntu again though and only use their windows partition. [06:18] ry0n: no, that's not right [06:19] Rubi_c0N: yeah once i get past this ill need help fixing my sound (all staticy garbled and volume goes up and down on its own), finding a linux equivalant of DVD shrink and how to install it (found some dox, but says something about other prerequisites and i dont know how to check if i have them) and something to burn the backup files from it. once i get that figured out ill be on my path to... [06:19] ...learning lol [06:19] HPtwhite: Im not daddy day care [06:19] HPtwhite: jk [06:19] HPtwhite: sounds like you have a bad kernel [06:20] thomson1: another view worth is encryption of course, there you would want to keep each OS with it's storage alligned [06:20] is there a ubuntu noob channel? [06:20] did you check your MD5 checksum [06:20] Rubi_c0N: lol not sayin ya are. one step at a time. as soon as i get this figured out im calling it a night...work in the mornin [06:20] !hi | diannaore [06:20] diannaore: Hi!

I'm a virtual mechanic. [06:23] hi 大家好 [06:23] lawlz ry0n [06:24] ry0n: yea ? whats your flavor ? oracle , vmware , Vpc , or V2 ? [06:25] abhijit: pm you ? [06:25] Bus 001 Device 009: ID 07d1:3a08 D-Link System Predator Bootloader Download Device Descriptor...does that help? [06:25] Rubi_c0N, heh. It was actually just a joke, sorry. Although I have used vmware and vpc bothe personally and in the former case professionally. But not for anything interesting. === DemonicDroid is now known as DemonDroid [06:26] I just think "virtual machine" is comedic if you read "machine" as something other than "computer". Like a virtual chipper shredder or extruder. [06:26] I also did a bunch of POS contracts and no one besides me found the dual nature of the intialism hilarious. [06:28] Ry0n: LOL [06:28] HPtwhite: on it one sec i need a drink [06:28] when i try to run gyachi, its not starting, i am getting an error "segmentation fault". but when i run with root previleges, it runs fine. but i dont want to give root previleges to gyachi. help please.

[06:30] ry0n, right understood....oh ok I was wondering if you tried any of the linux POS software... I have found a nice one openbravo java based [06:30] hariom: top, better htop [06:30] Rubi_c0N: is it ok if i PM you in a minute with the terminal info so i dont flood the room and you can answer in channel? im on a windows machine using chatzilla and i dont have anything like pastebin here [06:31] coz_, no, sorry. But it sounds interesting. I might have to look into it was well. [06:31] hariom: and ip I assume you mean id , pid [06:31] HPtwhite: np hope your using a proxy [06:31] DasEi: no, IP:Port [06:31] along with process which is running on it [06:32] meh? for what? so u dont get my ip address? [06:32] hariom: trafshow or etherape [06:32] HPtwhite: just fucking with you , windows box irc usually = FUCKED [06:33] o lol === Sam_Fisher is now known as Guest93261 [06:33] !language | Rubi_c0N [06:33] maybe i should just buy a laptop and run ubuntu on that [06:33] Rubi_c0N: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:33] Okay, a question. I am trying to use testdisk to recover a partition that was hosed by an interrupted resize in gparted. After the deep scan, it shows the partition three times with the same contents listed when I hit "p". How do I tell which is the good one? [06:34] !Commands [06:34] 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 [06:34] how to run a program with a particular style [06:35] phoenix_, particular style? [06:36] Rubi_c0N: okiez brb smoke time and drink refill [06:36] coz_: i forgot the command , something like xyz --style -human" [06:36] phoenix_, oh mmm let me check [06:37] ry0n: An interrupted resize is likely not actually a good candidate for fixing with testdisk. [06:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1219277 [06:37] phoenix_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1219277 [06:37] Jordan_U, does this imply that it's a good candidate for fixing with something else? [06:38] I was growing it to fill unallocated space. So the files should have ended up *somewhere*. [06:38] coz_: its not that one [06:38] ry0n: I doubt that the partition table was actually changed, so you just have a filesystem that's half resized. I don't know what the best tool for fixing it is, but I don't think you should change the partition table as that could lead you to accidentily overwrite data [06:39] I'd be fine with mounting it readonly === Rubi_c0N is now known as G1bs0N [06:39] ry0n: What filesystem? [06:39] (sheepishly) ntfs [06:40] ntfs [06:40] ry0n: Since you were growing it rather than shrinking it I think that makes it more likely to be recoverable, since existing files / metadata likely didn't have to be moved. [06:41] I was just growing it to fill up unallocated space in gparted, so yeah, nothing should have had to move. Although, the empty space was before it, not after it. [06:41] I dunno if that makes a difference. [06:41] Rubi_c0N: im back [06:42] ry0n: It does :( [06:42] assola [06:42] ry0n: Do you have the log from gparted? [06:42] did it make one? I wasn't here when the power failed. [06:43] phoenix_, I have no idea then...however if you remember the command let me know :) [06:43] ry0n: Ahh, I thought it was a software error rather than lost power. [06:43] coz_: when i try to run gyachi, its not starting, i am getting an error "segmentation fault". but when i run with root previleges, it runs fine. but i dont want to give root previleges to gyachi. [06:44] phoenix_, how did you install this? you may have to change its permissions [06:44] oh, sorry, no. Power failed while I was growing an ntfs partition to fill empty space in front of it in the partition table. The partitions are still there with their proper sizes (I think) but they switched places? [06:44] phoenix_, I am sure someone can help I have to get to bed ....I am really exhausted and cant think clearly [06:44] coz_: i compiled it from source [06:44] coz_: good night [06:44] phoenix_, ok do you have link let me google [06:45] coz_: dont strain yourself [06:45] This is why I was assuming that testdisk might help, since the partitions are still the same, they've just switched places in the p. table and neither is mountable. [06:45] phoenix_, no problem let me check out the source [06:46] So I would naively assume the data is still there but just the partition table is hosed? [06:46] coz_: thank you [06:46] phoenix_, you realize this is a few years old yes? [06:46] phoenix_, do you have vsion 1.1.71? [06:46] phoenix_: what does Gyachi do that Empathy does not? [06:47] coz_:i have the latest version 1.2.10-1 [06:47] mneptok: voice talk , video cam [06:47] phoenix_, you didnt install this via the ppa? [06:47] mneptok: yahoo chat rooms [06:48] coz_: i downloaded the source from sourceforge and compiled it [06:48] phoenix_, ok I am trying to find that version hold on [06:50] ry0n: Switched places? [06:50] wooo [06:50] computers and such [06:51] * willwh slaps GuyCanada with maple syrup [06:51] ry0n: what is the current state of the partition table? It is OK to have a partition bigger than the filesystem that occupies it. If you just had unoccupied space, and there is something to be recovered from the filesystem, you should just be able to set the partition to be as big as it was + free space. All this assumes you didn't fsck. [06:51] coz_: i think i found the problem [06:51] phoenix_, what is it? [06:51] maple syrup attacks are unwarranted [06:51] phoenix_, and I cant find that version on sourceforge but again I cant think clearly :) [06:52] coz_: the owner of the binary is root, how to change it to mine [06:52] phoenix_, the easy way is to gksudo nautiluls...maneuver to to bin and right click and change permissions [06:52] coz_: ok [06:53] GuyCanada: certainly not, I'm living in victoria - we're practically brothers. [06:53] ok I have to go [06:53] lol, except we couldnt possibly be further away. im in nova scotia [06:54] willwh ^ [06:54] GuyCanada: you could be in Labrador ... [06:54] ah indeed :) well, I'm from Edinburgh. [06:54] so... we are practically brothers [06:54] * mneptok adds an "eh?" for authenticity [06:54] I moved out here about 3 years ago, got permanent residency granted last year [06:54] the west coast suits me, I think.

[07:09] I don't have ethernet Jordan_U [07:09] MasonB: ndiswrapper is rarely actually needed. [07:09] MasonB: sudo dpkg -i [07:10] ry0n: Can you fit a full drive backup somewhere?

[07:11] Hrm, I don't think I have 500gb free all in one place. [07:12] I could back up the entirety of the two partition involved? [07:12] ry0n: usually i just backup /home/ and /etc/ [07:12] anyone? [07:12] XxcvfxX: sorry never dealt with usb wirelss [07:12] XxcvfxX: are you able to see wireless networks? [07:12] Jordan_U, what would that do for me if I could though? [07:12] you're not giving us much info [07:12] no [07:13] back 2 wireless [07:13] ok, can you open a terminal and type, lsusb | grep -i wireless [07:13] ry0n: It would mean that you could try possibly destructive fixes without worrying too much. [07:13] yea [07:15] Hold on, what does the (c)opy feature in testdisk do? [07:15] holy crap. no way [07:15] k now what? [07:16] XxcvfxX: ? [07:16] the thing someone told me to type [07:16] ry0n: For a resize "to the left" testdisk may actually help. If you set the partition start back to where it was then the superblock might still be there and the filesystem might be still mountable. I don't know what the likelyhood of that is though. === Andorin is now known as AK|offline [07:17] Jordan_U: big if. [07:17] XxcvfxX: that was me, what was the problem? [07:17] Blue1: I know :( [07:17] it didnt say [07:18] ok, just 'lsbusb ' [07:18] sorry [07:18] lsusb [07:18] I hardly believe it, but the (c)opy feature in testdisk seems to be pulling files off the unmountable partition and dumping them in home? === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [07:19] ry0n: hoooray?

[07:38] is there a way to boot ubuntu (posibli by editign grub entry in grub menu) into kinda emergency/single user mode, that would have root filesystem mounted readonly or not mounted at all, and would that mode have dd available? [07:38] MasonB, can you plug into the network? [07:38] i don't have a home connection [07:38] i use wifi [07:38] G1bs0N, wireless networks still dont show up [07:38] MasonB: Yes. [07:39] ok, now once they are on the desktop what do i do? [07:39] Install them? [07:39] MasonB, are you sure you have a broadcom wireless chip? [07:39] Yes [07:39] I have broadcom BCM43xx [07:39] XxcvfxX : your out of range or [07:39] morphles, well, the option 1 should boot you into init level 1, but no idea if that applies with modern distros anymore. "init=/bin/sh rw" added to the kernel cmdline should give you the shell as "init process" and rw mounted root fs, again no idea how it interacts with initrd ;) [07:40] XxcvfxX : its a driver configuration [07:40] Hi, did anyone here install vmware sever 2.02 on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS? [07:40] MasonB, the easiest way is to find a place to plugin and run the hardware driver manager. [07:40] Hi, I accidentally "remove from panel" my volume control, how can I get it back? [07:40] andyman: ya [07:40] MasonB, or install b43-fwcutter (but that still needs internet to install) [07:40] yacc: well i need root o not be mounted or to be mounted readonly :) since i winat to copy hdd image of whole drive containing root filesystem [07:40] MasonB: You open a terminal and run "sudo tar -C /lib/firmware -xf Desktop/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz; sudo tar -C /lib/firmware -xf Desktop/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz" [07:41] G1bs0N: Did you get it working properly? I managed to install it using raducotescu's script but I cannot reach the guest from the host. [07:41] G1bs0N, im right next to my router [07:41] G1bs0N, and it still dosent show up [07:42] andyman: yea I am having issues try a fresh install [07:42] XxcvfxX : its the driver [07:43] XxcvfxX : or the usb adapter i have the same issue with one of mine [07:44] XxcvfxX : try iwlist wlan0 frequency [07:44] Hi, I accidentally "remove from panel" my volume control, how can I get it back? [07:44] G1bs0N: Fresh install of vmware or Ubuntu? Ubuntu was installed a month ago and is up-to-date. I reinstalled vmware several times because I cannot reach the guest.. It seems the virtual network switch isn't working properly. [07:44] morphles, well, do you use LVM? [07:44] Jordan_U: will that make my Linux able to use wireless internet? [07:44] mrpinky: private message okay? [07:44] morphles, then replace rw with ro [07:44] MasonB: Hopefully, yes. [07:45] Blue1, of course :) [07:45] ok [07:45] i be right back [07:45] G1bs0N, k now what? [07:46] morphles: Any reason you can't use a LiveCD? [07:46] yacc: lvm as in? dunno probably not, if that requires any special steps [07:46] morphles, btw, it's not nice, but as long as the system is idle (single user mode), you can do a backup with a mounted root fs => on restore the kernel will do just a log replay, no problem => the critical thing is that the fs needs to be idle through the whole backup. [07:46] well whe place where ill be copyng images migth not have cdroms [07:46] morphles, well the normal installer does not create it. [07:46] XxcvfxX : type iwlist [07:46] XxcvfxX : type iwlist look at options [07:46] those are quite oldish pcs at school that likely have thier cdroms broken :) [07:46] morphles, LVM would allow you to do a consistent backup on a running system by doing a snapshot of the root filesystem logical volume ;) === Thornton is now known as TheAnswer [07:47] and it would do to where? network? [07:47] morphles, without LVM you need to get the system idle enough that nothing is writing to the fs for the whole time of the backup, ... [07:47] morphles, LVM just creates a snapshot, what you do with that "other" block device is up to you. === pinoyskull- is now known as pinoyskull [07:48] but i doubt those pcs have enough ram and or hdd space well the have only one hdd that is fully used [07:48] morphles, so you can create /dev/vg00/root_fs_snapshot that is a consistent atomic snapshot of /dev/vg00/root_fs and you can than backup that. [07:48] morphles, well, what are you trying to do? [07:48] hi any one there ? [07:49] no [07:49] well i have hdd that has to be duplicated to severl pcs [07:49] :) hello [07:49] dam 1337 people in here [07:49] as in fully [07:49] guys do you know how to wvdial ? or gnome-ppp ?

[07:49] so im probably stuck with livecds :) [07:49] The ubuntu channel is at 1337 [07:49] morphles, using what media? network? external USB hdd? DVDs? [07:50] most likely i connect empty/unprepared drives to system having prepared drive [07:50] i cant relly on the network there [07:51] how do u create ur own chat channel? [07:51] XxcvfxX: you should google irc 101 maybe? :) [07:51] XxcvfxX, if you /join a channel that doesn't already exist, it gets created as you join it. It'll vanish as soon as it's empty again. === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [07:52] XxcvfxX: type /j #XxcvfxX and see [07:53] morphles, well than just use a live cd, copy /dev/sda to /dev/sdb or whatever, mount it, and fix /etc as needed (you do not want all boxes to come up with the same hostname or say the same static IP), ... [07:53] well its dhcp to ips shouldnt be problem === flashkidd_ is now known as flashkidd [07:54] I have a new laptop :) ... I have installed 10.04 :)... I am trying to get it playing DVDs ... I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras plus mplayer mencode and vlc... I have run the /usr/share/doc/libdvdread/install/install-css.sh ... both mplayer and lsdvd report an error like "libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in /buid/buildd/libdvdread-4.1.3/src/ifo_read.c...." can anyone help? [07:55] neil_d: Are there any io errors in dmesg? [07:59] hi! Have Kubuntu 10.04. VLC is not supposed to run as root. How to open file on my mounted sshfs?

[08:03] Jordan_U: as this computer boots windows 7 maybe it has set the region of the DVD to an incorrect value. [08:05] Aerec, just ask, ... [08:06] i'm using acer 4741z. just install ubuntu lucid amd64. ubuntu did not detect the wifi. iwconfig says no wireless extension. somebody help/ [08:06] ? [08:07] can someone suggest a chat room where i can get general help using make for a C (not c++) program? [08:07] i'm using acer 4741z. just install ubuntu lucid amd64. ubuntu did not detect the wifi. iwconfig says no wireless extension. somebody help? [08:07] gopher2x: try googlin make tutorial [08:08] will be more usefull [08:08] no clue where to start yacc...I cant even figure out how to install software [08:08] cant even find software I downloaded [08:09] Aerec, well, with Linux you usually just don't download software and install it, you use the software management tool. [08:09] the synaptic package manager? [08:09] So in the Ubuntu menu you should have a point like Software, e.g. synaptic ;) [08:09] ya I found that [08:09] clicked on xchat [08:10] it installed some files I think [08:10] no idea where to find xchat if it did install [08:10] Aerec, the point is, with Linux you've got basicall the following sorts of software: packages prepackaged for your distribution, source distributed packages that you need to compile/install and the last one would be 3rd party binary installers, which are usually seldom. [08:10] Aerec, press Alt-F2 and type xchat [Enter] [08:11] Aerec, it will give you an error if you have it not installed or start xchat. [08:11] oh nice [08:11] Aerec, I'd expect it to be in the Internet group of the menu, btw, ... [08:11] that worked [08:12] what would be the same as windows c drive? or is ubuntu completely different? [08:12] i got an Intel 5100agn Wireless card and i want to change its MAC address to 0000000000e4 automaticly when ubuntu starts and before it searches and connects to the network , what should i do... [08:12] Aerec, one of the issues that make Linux support such a pain is that it by default translates itself, so I cannot tell you the exact strings you have to look for, because my Gnome uses German strings, ... [08:12] Aerec, Unix/Linux has no concept of drives. [08:13] k [08:13] Aerec, In Unix you have the filesystem and "partitions/drives" can be mounted somewhere, ... [08:13] maybe they mean "physical disk" when they say drive. [08:13] Aerec, so if you have say a Windows C: on the box, I'd expect it somewhere in /media/ to be mounted. [08:14] ry0n, still, Unix has no concept of "drive letter" as CPM/DOS/Windows ;) [08:14] Hi all is there any problem with the plymouth of ubuntu lucid??? In my laptop sometimes it doesnt shows the plymouth at all. [08:14] Aerec, so your home directory is usually in /home/USERNAME [08:14] so no one can help.... [08:14] unix way is better :) [08:15] Aerec, software is installed under different prefixes (/, /usr, /usr/local or /opt) depending upon a number of properties, but you do not care usually, because the PATH is setup so that it will just find the program as needed. [08:15] k [08:15] morphles, well modern Windowses can also mount devices onto some directory. [08:15] piaocn /etc/network/interfaces. research hwaddress [08:16] they have that ability but thats not default :) === unix is now known as Guest97792 [08:16] I tried to view youtube [08:16] says I need flash [08:16] Aerec, in Gnome all devices (e.g. Windows partitions, USB storage devices, ...) should show up as icons on your desktop, just double click on them. [08:16] synaptic => search for flash [08:16] k [08:16] but the thing that makes me dispise windows most is registry, and its kinda sad for me that gnome is trying something very much like registry :( [08:17] everything is file ftw :D [08:17] morphles, well, I switch from time to time, when I cannot fathom Gnome or KDE anymore to something like ion3 ;) [08:18] i used to be big fan of fluxbox, well still amd, but iuse kde :) [08:18] morphles, that's not completely true, in some ways, e.g. SysV IPC does not follow the "everything has a file handle" philosophy, but yes, ... [08:18] although kde is in sory state on ubuntu :( [08:18] thnx for the help yacc...im liking Ubuntu a lot more then win7 now :) [08:18] is there some meta-package to install all that is needed to compile programs? [08:18] lol [08:19] loxs build-essential [08:20] loxs and if you need something to edit files in, try geany [08:20] morphles, basically ioctl is the syscall that kills somehow the everything is a file dream, ... [08:20] earthmeLon, no, thanks, I have Emacs :D [08:20] ^_^ [08:20] where can i view the current system resource usage? [08:20] did you try installing nokia pc suit using wine ?? [08:20] hm im not too familiar with ioctl [08:20] I think "windows 7" might have changed the region of my DVD drive in my new laptop :( how can I find out what region it is now set to? [08:21] Aerec, why would you care? [08:21] Aerec, there are probably a number of GUI apps for this somewhere in the Gnome menu, but it's usually really not an issue. [08:21] i think the region stuff goes beyond software. i dont think u can jsut up and change it. at least without a lot of effort [08:22] Region doesn't even matter [08:22] not that i know anyhting about it but if it were so easy everyone would be switching their dvd regions to places where its easy to pirate dvds id imagine [08:22] again. i know litterally nothing but thats my thinking [08:22] Aerec, plus "resources" in the Windows sense there aren't any. There are stuff like CPU load or memory usage, and especially this is often misinterpreted => free memory on a Linux box as such is bad => much better to use it for cache, ... [08:23] Aerec, but WindowsXP users complain usually that all the memory is taken rather quickly, ... [08:23] pretty sure that if all your doing is playing movies with Linux, then region doesn't matter at all. [08:23] Aerec, but in fact that's a good thing. [08:23] normally you can only change your region like 3 or 4 times i believe... [08:23] DVDBurning/playing is still affected by region, eh? [08:24] I hate cyberlink so much [08:24] unless your using commercial DVD playinga and burning software, I don't see what the problem is [08:24] neil_d you can download DISC info and it will tell you what region ur drive is [08:24] don't use cyberlink, its awful. [08:24] has anybody ever gotten powerdvd linux to work in lucid? [08:24] why would yo uwant to? [08:24] well I'm $50 poorer now [08:24] :( [08:25] I don't even remember why I bought it [08:25] Simeon_H I don't see how your making such a big deal out of a non issue. [08:25] I was probably drunk [08:25] those region codes are retarded... [08:25] but I bought it [08:25] and I want the software I paid for to work [08:26] software you never should have paid for [08:26] or use [08:26] wow, think I just fell in love with ubuntu [08:26] earthmeLon, build-essential didn't install aclocal, automake, autoconf [08:28] looking at this system monitor, my cpu isnt going over 2%...windows7 I would run about ~30% with the same amount of windows open [08:28] etherealite, region code nowadays is implemented in the DVD hardware, so it applies to Linux too, sorry, complain to Hollywood ;) [08:28] loxs. Im pretty sure build-essential (sudo apt-get install build-essential) will install those. You can check the build-essential package page [08:28] nero linux was certainly worth the money though [08:28] yacc you mus be kidding me [08:28] etherealite, nope, the fact that it's done in hardware has been mandated nowadays for quite some time, ... [08:29] etherealite, so some people end up with having multiple DVD drives. [08:29] i'm using acer 4741z. just install ubuntu lucid amd64. ubuntu did not detect the wifi. iwconfig says no wireless extension? [08:29] yacc If I wanna uninstall something what would I do? [08:29] etherealite, well, I personally dislike hardware media anyway, prefer to rip it to my dreambox, anyway. [08:29] Aerec, synaptic [08:29] yacc, so you can't rip the image at all without proper region? [08:29] if you're talking about the region coding it is possible to reflash your drive [08:30] which will at least reset the counter [08:30] dvd reagion killer [08:30] unlock ur drive [08:30] etherealite, yeah, it all depends slightly on the hardware, not every vendor implements it as hardcore, but yes. [08:30] and usually you can downgrade to RCP1 [08:30] Simeon_H, that depends upon the drive. [08:30] dvd region* killer [08:30] oh man, this is very saddening === cardboard_box is now known as cntrational [08:31] or if you're handy with a soldering iron like me you can probably modchip it somehow [08:31] etherealite, not really, the sad part is that with a 100mbit cable connection, dvds start to be so yesterday, ... [08:31] yacc who has 100mbit in the usa [08:31] Aerec: how do I download DISK info? [08:31] and movie companies wonder why people go the way of "piracy" [08:31] etherealite, well, what shall I say, in Europe you can usually only get it in cities, ... [08:32] yacc can you steal it like in the USA? [08:32] etherealite, e.g. my dad in the suburbs can get only 50mbit or so.

[08:37] suggestion ^^ [08:37] that will tell you what region you are on, if you need to you can use DVD Region Killer to unlock the drive [08:38] maybe, just maybe if I recompile python2.5 from source and break everything powerdvd will work [08:38] haha [08:38] Hey, I've got a dual head system, both systems have completely different aspect ratios.

[08:42] abhijit: your ways is not bad :) but i wouldnt worry too much of using sudoing account as default, but using other user is safer [08:42] morphles, yah [08:43] trying to restrict login hours for the user "test". Added ssh;*;test;Al0900-1000 to /etc/security/time.conf and added account requisite pam_time.so in /etc/pam.d/common-account (I also tried in /etc/pam.d/login). I even rebooted the computer afterwards. The user "test" can still ssh while the time restriction should occur. What am I missing? [08:44] is there a good video converter for ubuntu? [08:44] Aerec, mobile media convertor [08:44] Aerec: tryy searching for mencoder gui or frontend i guess [08:44] morphles: wa kari masu. domo [08:45] Blue1: :D [08:45] Aerec, that depends, you start with avidemux [08:45] hello whats the name of programm that every 20-30 comp startups makes filesystem check? [08:46] Aerec, there are a number of commandline tools that are quite useful if you need to do batch converting, ... [08:46] Kangarooo: fsck [08:46] (e.g. mencoder that can play almost anything as mplayer and encode it) [08:46] yeah mplayer mencoder are super programas :D [08:47] robertwall: can u tell me also package name? tryd finding using whereis fsck didnt helped [08:47] Hello. [08:48] eh accidently closed irc...I missed the answer if anyone responded, whats a good video converter for ubuntu? [08:48] Kangarooo: Depends on the filesystem you're using. What are you trying to do that's prompting these questions? [08:48] does ubuntu still dont have ability to fetch dist upgrade packages using torrents? [08:48] Aerec, mobile media convertor [08:48] Aerec: or some gui / frontend for mencoder [08:48] or just mencoder if you can handle it :D [08:48] mobile? does that deal with just mobile formats? [08:49] Aerec, it deals with all formats [08:49] robertwall: i want to post bug report about programm that runs on every20-30 startup checking filesystem i have ext4 [08:49] Kangarooo: e2fsprogs [08:49] Aerec, avidemux is okay for some stuff too. [08:49] hi [08:49] thx robertwall [08:50] so is there any way to fetch packages needed for distribution upgrade using torrents? [08:51] when i want to connect to smb shares on windows 7 professional - its seams that i cant connect to the shares most of the time ... givving me a dbus error ... i allready de-installed MSN-Live (all components). but to no luck.. i seam to be able to list al shares but mounting them fails. i worked before but now i doesn't ... any tips where to look would be helpfull i guess. [08:52] morphles: nope. The only supported way to upgrade from one version of Ubuntu to another is with the upgrade tool, which only supports direct downloads. [08:52] !upgrade [08:52] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [08:52] :( [08:52] cant you upgrade from cdrom?? === Crip is now known as _BEAST [08:52] Ichat, you can [08:52] Ichat: you can if you use the alternative cd [08:53] well torrent the ISO mount it and upgrade than - right? [08:53] but it will be just part of packages as i understand [08:53] !alternate | Ichat [08:53] Ichat: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [08:53] I screwed up my video on startup. I'm in recovery mode right now, but the only option that works is "run Ubuntu in low resolution mode for one session". Preferences -> Monitor won't let me change resolution. How can I get Ubuntu to redetect graphics? [08:53] Pax: whats your video card? [08:55] ATI Radeon 1800XL All-In-Wonder [08:55] pax, removing xorg.conf could do the trick - [08:55] Pax: well i have no expirience with ati so i cant help [08:55] It WAS working, but I messed up my configuration.

[08:56] backup* [08:56] yups === bluey is now known as Guest84349 [08:57] if it doesn't work ati uses its own configuration... in that case removing xorgs config file first and uninstalling / reinstalling the ati driver should do [08:57] 'morples No backup I know of. [08:57] no need tyo reboot i think, just sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [08:57] Where is xorg.conf? [08:58] (remember if uninstalling ati driver.... to 'make it completely removing it (thus WITH the conig files) [08:58] hm Pax how did you mess up your config while not knowing where xorg.conf is? [08:58] morphles: - gui :) [08:58] :) [08:58] trminal ftw :) [08:59] Was trying to resize Ubuntu bigger, and WinXP smaller. [08:59] $ /etc/x11/xorg.conf (i think) [08:59] morphles, well, I'd guess that the upgrade tool does internally an apt-get dist-upgrade too, after fixing the configuration files, so you can probably use apt-torrent as a source. OTOH, why do you care? *g* [08:59] yacc: i have quite slow net connection, and torrents are much more flexible :) [09:00] yacc: - is there an apt-torrent :$ - lol really??? [09:00] morphles, well, torrents with a slow net connection are still slow. [09:01] Ichat, yeah, although I never managed to set it up, ... [09:01] but they are better at resuming [09:01] speed managment etc [09:01] how do u do the cube rotation effect? [09:01] Ichat, I can live well enough with a locla mirror. [09:01] morphles, not really. [09:01] Aerec: you need compiz [09:01] I have it set up already...just dont know how to actually do it [09:01] morphles, http can easily resume and apt does use the Range header. [09:01] Hmmm, no /etc/x11/xorg.conf - do have xorg.conf.failsafe [09:02] Aerec: check configuration, and see what are the bindings, if its enabled it most likely is ctrl+alt+mouseclick and drag [09:02] morphles, and TCP has builtin bandwidth management that torrents don't have, well with torrents it partially depends upon your client. [09:02] yacc: i just basicly runt upgrade tool trhour severl days? [09:02] run it then cancel then run it again nex day, all should be well? [09:03] morphles, well the upgrade tool first downloads all needed packages, and then it does apply the packages. [09:03] Pax: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the failed session? [09:03] *;*;test;!Al0900-1000 works but ssh;*;test;!Al0900-1000 does not (meaning test can ssh). An idea? [09:03] morphles, actually not sure about that, but if the upgrade tool gets aborted, the worst that can happen is that you will need to run apt-get dist-upgrade yourself, ... === undef is now known as K10 [09:03] or best i take my pc to may gf, she has awsome connection :D dlding will be doen in no time :D [09:04] morphles, define awesome ;) === play4_ is now known as play4 [09:05] 10Mbit i think :) [09:05] compared to my ~1Mbit :D [09:05] how to install java6openjdk? [09:05] Jigal: probably as any other stuf? using synaptic [09:06] morphles, found it $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [09:07] whenever i tried to modify the tag using easytag,it shows an error as the file may be read-only,don't have permission to edit the file......wat to do [09:07] Jigal, that's just the cmdline equivalent of synaptic [09:07] one of the keybindings is e [09:07] what is that? [09:07] yacc: - i never understood why torrent isn't used for dist-upgrade and new iso releases - i can emagin that some poeple rahter not have to pay for upload, but it would be usefull for download speeds of it was made harder for people to NOT choos http/ftp downloads. [09:08] Ichat, that's not really true. [09:08] Ichat, torrents work only good for stable files. [09:08] Ichat, because most users have a much bigger down-pipe. [09:09] yacc: but most user wont be downloading packages all the time while they could seed for much longer [09:09] Ichat, hence for "new files" where 99.999% of the users want to fetch it, you won't have much better download rates than the average upload rate of all interested peers, ... [09:09] event if every user just givs 5KBps if you have 100k users its quite some : [09:10] morphles, well, actually most users will want to have the upgrades ASAP => so you'll be usually in "initial seeding" mode which is slow. [09:10] morphles, just take any random file from a tracker, that is new and has only one seeder and see how fast you can download. [09:10] well upload could be not capped while user is also downloading packages [09:10] yeah i know [09:10] hi, I just installed a ubuntu server and am setting up passenger, just wondering where I should be putting my passenger.config file (Best Practices wise that is0 [09:10] but original seed would be on couple of ubuntu servers [09:10] also are there any special commands I should know about [09:10] and could give enough of start boost [09:11] it wouldnt be some poor person with 10Mbps upload :) [09:11] morphles, as I have a 100/10mbit connection, I often download such files with 50KB while uploading with >500KB/s to other peers => good for the ratio, but not as fast as a dedicated distributed server network (which is what Ubuntu mirrors amount to). [09:11] 5kb per user, would still be 5% overall increase in speeds, - it would offload the servers for quite a bit.. - without costing to mutch. [09:12] note any mbit saved on the ubuntu servers save cononical money...... cash better spend on the devolopment of new code for the next version [09:12] Ichat, again, torrents are used for CD/DVD images which are relatively longliving. deb packages OTOH, often can change multiple times daily, ... [09:13] yeah i think i stand correct yacc seems to be very correct : [09:13] Ichat, but Ubuntu is not delivered mostly from Canonical, it's delivered mostly from mirror servers that are usually sponsored by somebody else. [09:13] Can we have a short thread in german here? [09:14] no [09:14] please use ubuntu-de for german chat [09:14] merci! [09:14] yacc, thats why i talked about distupgrades and iso only - those are big packages and everybody wants them at teh same time [09:15] But distupgrades are dynamic too. [09:15] and isos are done already via torrents. [09:15] dist-upgrade is dynamic. [09:15] If you do and distribution upgrade it will upgrade to the newest versions of the relevant packages. === thyri0n is now known as CptPlankSpank [09:17] hmmz. [09:17] No HDMI output from laptop?

I've serious performance problems with KVM. Is there any known bug related? (i've searched on launchpad and got nothing) [09:45] Hey_neken: make sure virtualisation on the cpu is enabled in the bios [09:45] ikonia, it is [09:45] Hey_neken: what sort of performance issues are you having, visual performance issues, or physical processing in the vm issues [09:46] ikonia, processing [09:46] Hey_neken: can you give me an example ? [09:46] just to compare to the old server (a xeon 3302) i created a new vm with 1 cpu and 512 on each server and the old server with 9.04 is 6x faster [09:46] installing ubuntu [09:47] ok - forget the install routine, can you give me an example of it struggling with processing [09:48] ikonia, made a cp of a vm from the old to the new server. a vm with a mysql server on it and the app cry at start time on the new server [09:48] please explain better than "cry" [09:48] slower [09:48] 10times slower [09:49] Hey_neken: ok - so please explain how you know that is processing [09:49] who uses basket? [09:50] ikonia, the same VM on a newer and faster machine is slower, what else can it be? [09:50] Hey_neken: it can be many things, [09:50] Hey_neken: hence why I'm asking how you know it's processing [09:51] Is there a way to tell Nautilus which iocharset to use when doing a cifs.mount? I need to specify utf-8, which works via CLI but that requires root to mount. [09:51] ikonia, they are in the same network attached to the same switch; the same VM has been used to test the same app on the same version; on the 10.04 install I've no other "big" process running, its a fresh install with minimun gnome to user virt-manager [09:52] Hey_neken: ok, so monitor the processors in the virtual machine AND on the host at the same time while you are working/having problems, see if there are any differences in behaviour, or any corolation, that can guide you as to where there are potential issues [09:53] ikonia, ok, will [09:53] Hey_neken: got to shoot off now. === reto__ is now known as aerovista [09:57] any macbook users? my /sys/class/backlight/ is empty [09:58] trying to get my brightness controlls back [09:58] i can modprobe hal_nvidia_bl but there is no device for it to connect to [09:58] i love ubuntu [09:58] windows is a thing of the past now [09:59] why there is always new versions of ubuntu in short time ?? 9.10 > 10.04 and now 10.10 ? [09:59] i mean in two months 10.10 [10:00] cuz ubuntu rawks [10:01] ibrahim-kasem: the short release cycle keeps ubuntu up-to-date with the latest software, for example. You are not really required to upgrade...ie you could just jump from LTS to LTS [10:01] sacho, its cuz ubuntu rawks k [10:01] :-D [10:02] i didnt even know there was a 10.10 though, im still on 10.04 [10:02] Well, there isn't, yet. 10.10 is in development and scheduled to be released in october(that's what the .10 means) [10:03] what is the length of time from 10.04 to 10.10? [10:03] is it the six months? [10:03] 6 months. [10:04] cool, then all is on schedule [10:04] Ubuntu is released every 6 months, in April (04) and October (10), hence the X.04 and X.10 === easter_egg|off is now known as easter_egg [10:04] 10.04 was released in April 2010.

How can I get the primary boot partion reinstalled? (After correcting for any damaged sectors..) [10:14] I was recently given a media center PC that uses a 64 bit dual core AMD CPU. The computer has less than four gigs of RAM. I've tried 6 flavors of Linux, some Ubuntu, Fedora, etc... All run in low graphics mode to install and never boot fully again. I know this is a hot button issue but am I losing a noticeable amount of performance by installing the 32bit version of Ubuntu? It seems to have better support, right? [10:15] s/startup/startup./ [10:15] hi i finally found the driver for my internet key, but i need to install it manually without using any automatic software, how do i do that? [10:16] hai [10:16] jimlovell777: I've been running kubuntu since 10.04 and I have had no stability or support issues. [10:16] jimlovell777: sorry i'm running the 64 bit edition [10:16] kubuntu 10.04 is having some issues with me too [10:16] jimlovell777, Well 32 bit is of course slower than 64 bit.. It also uses less RAm. But 4 gigs should be plenty. [10:16] its working slow in my pc [10:17] jimlovell777, Anyhow 64 bit should be well supported by now. [10:17] i love kubuntu 64 bit,... never have had any problems or issues... [10:17] collabra: Yea I've been using Ubuntu and other versions of Linux exclusively for years with no problems I couldn't solve. This one computer seems to be an exception to the norm. [10:18] jimlovell777, If you do find a program compiled for 32 bit get the source and recompile it. ./configure should usually do all the configuring automatically. [10:18] this system, for me, has been the most stable system i've used,.... [10:18] collabra: I might give kubuntu a try, it did just occur to me I've been trying mostly gnome based distrobutions.

It just uses the built-in web browser control to save you having different windows open.

[11:43] stevieG: no [11:43] just uninstall (of deactivate) ndiswrapper [11:43] can you speak polosh [11:44] geirha: nope, didn't work [11:44] ubottu: pl | lupin_ [11:44] lupin_: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [11:44] monzo: how? [11:44] Did you just install ndiswrapper? === hacker is now known as Guest68624 [11:44] yeah [11:44] ok, sudo aptitude remove --purge ndiswrapper [11:45] monzo: done [11:45] ANyone got a .deb file of AlephOne Marathon or Excalibur MOrganas Revenge? [11:45] this is frustrating, because it worked in karmic [11:46] WXZ: Should have worked. No idea why it didn't. :/ [11:46] stevieG: sudo modprobe fsam7400, read more at: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1036744.html [11:47] it works as a run-once task :s [11:48] monzo: being very new to ubuntu im finding a bit overwhelming, sorry if i get a bit frustrating :) [11:48] I want to use ffmpeg to encode a video with aac. The standard repository version of ffmpeg (and libavcodec-extra-52) doesn't come with libfaac support. I saw that the libavcodec-extra-52 on Medibuntu has the libfaac but I couldn't find ffmpeg in the Medibuntu package list. What can I do now? Do I need the ffmpeg source package? [11:48] stevieG: no problem, it is a bit hard sometimes [11:49] apparently this isn't a new issue [11:50] cron doesn't like tomboy [11:50] stevieG: don't give up though, once you get around to the fun stuff, the OS (Ubuntu) will stay out of your way and help where possible [11:51] TheBase: install the lib? libavcodec-extra-52 [11:51] is there a way I can make cron send a command with a parameter to terminal though [11:51] TheBase: or just enable the medibuntu repo an do an update [11:51] something like terminal --command="tomboy open-note New Note 48" [11:51] erUSUL, what about the --enable-libfaac ? [11:51] don't I have to recompile ffmpeg with that? [11:51] monzo: :) thanks, just tried modprobe fsam7400 and got this result//WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.//WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/amilo_special_keys.modprobe, it will be ignored in a future release.//FATAL: Error inserting fsam7400 (/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/ubuntu/fsam7400/fsam7400.ko): Operation not permitted [11:52] TheBase-> you can find ffmpeg in synaptic [11:52] HELP! Anyone know how to get this - http://sourceforge.net/projects/emr3/ installed and working ????? I get this so far.... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/479335/ - I think this may be because I cannot work out where I installed AlephOne to... === zobbo|out is now known as zobbo [11:53] stevieG: did you use sudo? [11:53] as in sudo modprobe ... [11:54] quibbler, yes. I already have it installed. the --enable-libfaac option is what's worrying me. Anyway I'll upgrade the libavcodec from the Medibuntu first and see what happens [11:54] monzo: rfkill list is now showing the wlan as 0 rather than wlan0 [11:54] monzo: oops ill try that modprobe business again [11:54] monzo: yeah i did use sudo :/ [11:55] reboot to see if all the ndiswrapper-stuff disappears [11:55] and then sudo modprobe... [11:55] monzo: ok, seeyou soon :) [11:56] ok [11:56] any news on 10.04.1 - supposed to release today? [11:56] sudo su root && passwd root root ; me be damned [11:57] mungojerry, released a long time ago [11:57] mungojerry, most of us are running it [11:58] younder, really? .1 update to 10.04? [11:58] yea am also using 10.04.1 [11:58] hi all fellows! i am having some trouble with my laptop. i am having a fat32 partition, i extracted there the iso, install syslinux, copy the text.cfg to syslinux.cfg, install grub on mbr [11:58] mungojerry, avoid minor updates [11:58] i use the chainloader to boot syslinux but when its boot ubuntu === emc_ is now known as emc [11:59] i got an error init: line 7 [11:59] it cannot read from cd [11:59] hmm.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule says 10.04.1 today [11:59] is there any boot option for root? [11:59] i'm about to upgrade from 9.10 but thought i'd get the .1 instead of 10.04 [11:59] Iraklis, i suppose no [11:59] did u tried upgrading the grub >? [12:00] monzo: hi again, got the same result with sudo modprobe fsam7400 [12:00] the grub only chainloads t syslinux [12:00] mungojerry: 10.04.1 is just 10.04 with updates applied. [12:00] so syslinux boot the system [12:00] monzo: am i missing something? do i need to install fsam7400? [12:00] Hey i have a question [12:00] robertwall, yes, i notice my work PC has 10.04.1 but no iso released yet? [12:01] How can I scan my memory card using ubuntu [12:01] Awesome. Just upgrading libavcodec-extra-52 with the Medibuntu version did the job. [12:01] Thanks [12:01] mungojerry, I suggest you wait a month and wait unil the bugs have been worked out. [12:01] mungojerry: The update that makes 10.04 systems identify as 10.04.1 came out a few weeks ago, because 10.04.1 was originally supposed to come out a few weeks ago. [12:02] if i wait a month i'll probably end up installing maverick beta ;) [12:02] younder: considering that 10.04.1 = 10.04 + lucid-updates + lucid-security, there's really no point in waiting... [12:04] i wonder if 10.04.1 is a bit cleaner since some bugs are "xxx package does not need to be in the installation" [12:04] in ubuntu program center (or whatever it is called in your language) change to 'Updates' -> 'Updates with long support' [12:05] younder: 10.04 to 10.04.1 is not a distribution upgrade, so that setting doesn't apply. [12:06] Is there a way to re-install ubuntu, while keeping my applications and files intact? so just re-install ubuntu itself. or "reset" [12:06] robertwall, what? [12:06] robertwall, explain that to me please. [12:06] Hi, is anybody else experiencing freezes in CD ripping on Lucid? This happens to me, especially when ripping offline and on multiple computers. [12:06] mungojerry: the ubuntu-meta source package hasn't been changed since 10.04's release, so no [12:07] ok robertwall, thanks for the info ...i;'ll stick with the 10.04 cd + large update then :) [12:07] thansk too younder [12:07] younder: 10.04.1 is simply an updated ISO containing packages that have been published in lucid-updates and lucid-security since release. 10.04 systems receiving updates properly automatically reversion to 10.04.1. The setting you mentioned only covers actual new releases (e.g. 10.04 -> 10.10, or 10.04 -> 12.04) [12:08] hey guys need some help with gparted [12:09] robertwall, so to make it short and sweet the major updates happen once every 6 months. And I have set it to hold on to it and just acept security updates? [12:09] monzo: hey, root@tom-laptop:/home/tom# sudo modprobe fsam7400//WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.//WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/options, it will be ignored in a future release.//WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/amilo_special_keys.modprobe, it will be ignored in a future release. [12:09] Hi, in vim and emacs, I'm able to start parallel sessions on the same file. Can I do this with gedit? [12:09] accept [12:09] stevieG: please don't paste multi-line stuff in here [12:10] younder: setting that setting to "Updates with long support" means you're not going to get prompted about distribution upgrades until the next LTS (in two years). Whether or not you get security and recommended updates is covered by the "Ubuntu updates" section on the same tab. [12:10] tensorpudding, looks like a simple 4 liner here [12:10] younder: whereas setting it to "Normal releases" will prompt you when 10.10 comes out [12:11] Zwei: i don't think gedit allows you to have more than one open instance [12:11] tensorpudding: Ah, thanks. Back to vim I go... === heinrich_ is now known as Shurakai [12:12] Robertwall, thank god. After two reinstalls this year the last thing I need is another. (I did it right) [12:12] Zwei: why do you need this? [12:12] younder: hah, yeah, I'm sticking with 10.04 for a while too :) [12:12] do you guys have a gparted help chan ? [12:14] tensorpudding: When dealing with a long file, sometimes I need to view two parts of the same file at the same time. [12:15] hello, is there a ubuntu-udev channel? [12:16] tensorpudding: In gedit, I can open one instance in read/write mode and the rest in read-only mode. But that doesn't give me the flexibility to edit the parts I want if I'm currently on it in the read-only section. [12:16] anymous: no, ask here [12:16] Hi [12:16] weed37: what's your issue with gparted? [12:16] ilovefairuz, ah thanks [12:16] !hi | sebsebseb [12:16] sebsebseb: 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! [12:16] ilovefairuz: I don't like that factoid! [12:16] any chance i can pm u ilovefairuz plz [12:17] Also, editing the read-write file has the consequence that all the r-o files have this "The file has been modified, would you like to re-load the file?" sign. If I click yes, the file re-loads and go to the top of the file. [12:17] weed37: it's preferable that you ask technical questions in channel but, you may pm. [12:17] s/r-o files/r-o instances of the file/ [12:20] Survey please - yes/ no will do: Is anybody else having intermittent problems with CD ripping in Lucid, especially when ripping while offline?

[12:23] if i start a VM with kvm and nfsroot device nodes like /dev/sda /dev/sdb are not created, / is mounted rw, i'm runnin udevd with --debug, and log-priority=debug. the RUN rule is evaluated but if I add a SYMLINK, then neither the RUN nor the SYMLINK is evaluated. this is under Lucid. [12:23] jpds: because cron doesnt have PATH by default [12:23] no dosnt work [12:24] cagge: works fine for me [12:24] does anyone know howto hide cursor with c++ on unbuntu [12:24] ubuntu === e-jat is now known as ejat [12:26] cagge: ##c++ [12:27] hi all, I have an HDAV1.3 Deluxe sound card. Works like a treat most of the time, then sound stops working. After this happens loading a music file or some such in totem, vlc etc causes the app to either lock up (totem) or play but with no sound (VLC). Restarting pulseaudio and alsa processes fixes it. Any ideas? [12:27] hi all. What ports/interfaces/ip's are involved when I run mysql -u root? [12:29] prodigel: it invokes mysql client to connect (as MYSQL USER root not THE REAL root) to the server running on localhost through a unix socket file === Cain` is now known as Cain [12:30] ilovefairuz, if connecting to a socket it means it's not using the network at all? I'm trying to catch that traffic with tcpdump, and nothing shows up [12:31] prodigel: no tcp/ip network traffic, yes === lit3l is now known as litel [12:34] ilovefairuz, my problem is that I've implemented iptables+ulog+mysql but probably through recursion ulog blocks all mysql opened ports. Any idea how could I identify ulog's conections to mysql from the same host to avoid logging them also? [12:35] I am curious can i make quick launcher for a shared location, i have tried one with smb://location but every time i reboot i have to manually set it up again any advice? [12:36] how to format a usb disk in Ubuntu 9.04 [12:36] Ghostly: you need to put the samba mount in your fstab to automount at boot, as smb:// will only work on authenticated (mounting it is the easy way) shares [12:36] VP1: use gparted [12:36] how to? [12:37] VP1: launch it from the applications menu [12:39] Ghostly: i just bookmark the smb:// share once i connect in nautilus to easially get back to it. [12:39] Hi all, whenever I create a samba share from a folder in my home directory I am unable to access it. Create one from a folder anywhere else and its fine. Anyone any ideas? [12:40] barfoo365: sounds like a permission issue on the parent directries. [12:41] Dr_Willis : Thats what i'm thinking but I have run chmod 777 on them. I was thinking more along the lines of a samba specific permissions issue? [12:42] prodigel: it probably uses a tcp connection, try: netstat -pant, to see all open tcp connections [12:42] You really DONT need your /home/username to be '777' [12:42] my home --> drwxr-xr-x 103 willis willis 4096 2010-08-16 21:55 willis [12:42] Dr_Willis : The folder is /home/username/sharefolder [12:42] move it out of your home dir [12:42] my home is, too, not 777, just 700, and works finde [12:42] ilovefairuz, thanks. I'll try that [12:43] Ikonia, I could just move it I guess [12:44] I did notice that it made the share that i set to allow all, allow guests full access to (just now as a test) mode 777 [12:44] The post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=936571 seems to have solved the issue I am having, but it doesn't really elaborate on the solution much [12:44] i like SWAT, to configure smb.conf [12:45] I find swat annoying and old.. :) but ive read theusing samba book in the past.. so i sort of know enough to not need swat these days [12:45] !info samba-doc [12:45] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation.

[12:50] !clone | glaucous [12:50] glaucous: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [12:51] erUSUL: do you have any other suggestions about my cron problem? [12:51] glaucous: and backup your home folder and maybe some of the files in /etc/ if you modified them [12:51] erUSUL: Ah, thanks [12:51] WXZ: no; sorry. gnome-schedule did not work ( with geirha suggestion)? [12:52] nope [12:52] can I get cronjob to send a command to terminal though? [12:52] # [12:52] erUSUL: Perhaps you know, is there a way to view most recent updates done? [12:52] something like terminal --command="command"? [12:52] WXZ: I imagine its possible. but not very common [12:52] glaucous: synaptic has a log in File>histori log or some such [12:53] that's the only work around I see [12:53] WXZ: the 'openvt' command Might let you do that. [12:53] WXZ: that could send info to a Console.. [12:54] reading docs on it [12:54] WXZ: does the command have to run in a terminal (meaning foreground?) [12:54] no [12:55] WXZ: ok so is it possible that you get crontab to execute a command and send the output to notification area via libnotify? [12:55] I don't know what the notification area is [12:56] Ok this is weird..I have a little NAS 'gizmo' that shares 2 hard drives to the network via samba. (it actually runs linux) I go to network:/// in the file manager.. it shows 'Windows Network' AND it shoes the 'NAS' How can it be showing up there? [12:56] WXZ: top right hand corner of panel in Gnome Session [12:56] ok, nevermind [12:56] phlak, I'm trying to send a "command" to the terminal [12:56] as a workaround for cron not communicating well with tomboy [12:57] WXZ: are you trying to launch tomboy through a script that cron will execute? [12:57] phlak_user: yes, I'm trying to get a note to pop up [12:58] long story short, it doesn't pop up [12:58] WXZ: wouldnt it be easier to use the Tomboy D-bus interface to do this?

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! [13:10] i am using Acer Asire 5740, and installed ubuntu 10.4, Everything is working fine except brightness === [1]zulgaban is now known as zulgaban [13:11] brightness controller works fine with no effects at all [13:12] dubey: you mean if you set the effects to "none", brightness works? [13:13] phlak_user : no, I means when i press hotkey to change brightness, it show the status but actual effect doesn't happens [13:13] dubey: ah [13:15] dubey: does it work if you hold down fn key and use the right or left arrow keys in the bottom right corner? [13:16] is there a way to use dd on a 80GB hdd (which contains 10GB data) so the image will be 10GB and not 80GB? atm i am using dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/foobar and foobar is 80GB [13:16] phlak_user: no [13:16] dubey: oh ok [13:17] iceroot: Not via just dd [13:17] === john_ is now known as Guest8302 [13:17] iceroot: there are some drive image tools out that can just archive the actual data. not the whole disk. So would be smalller [13:18] iceroot: but somthing seems backwards here.. perhaps we are confused as to what you are doing. [13:18] Dr_Willis: but i need the disc-dump which i can boot directlys, so maybe i have to pipe the output of dd into zip or something like that [13:18] iceroot: even ziping it wont make it smaller.. UNLESS you 'zero out the free space' so its all 0's thus compresses better. [13:19] Dr_Willis: i have to copy a windows-xp image from a hdd (80gb hdd) on a 30gb hdd and the data from win xp are 10gb, rest is zero [13:19] Dr_Willis: i guess the missing 70gb are zeros === root___ is now known as careless1 [13:19] even if the drive is mostly empty. dd will dd the rest of the drive.. it WONT be all zeros Unless you zero out the free space. [13:20] iceroot: one 'way' would be to resize the HD down to 10gb or whatevver size you can shrink it to. [13:20] Dr_Willis: hm ok, i think best way is to search for a bigger hdd for the disc-dump [13:20] Dr_Willis: resize without a backup is a bad idea for this important image [13:20] <_Deko_> Good day I am having a problem it is wireless all the time asking for password not think the network connects more [13:21] hello, quick Question please, how to mv file.ext efe/fefe/fefe where efe/fefe/fefe is new directories i want to create at the same time while moving the file ? [13:21] also dd'ing a whole drive instead of a parition will be a little harder to 'mount' the image file.. if thats what you want to do with it. [13:21] any help ? [13:21] * Dr_Willis notices he has more then 80gb in wallpaper and icons.. :) heh. [13:21] Dr_Willis: the whole drive is one partiton (dev/sda with mbr and /dev/sda1 with the 80gb data) [13:22] iceroot: yes.. but what are you going to do with the image after you dd it somewhere? [13:22] dubey, you want to adjust the gamma? [13:22] Dr_Willis: i am saving it on a storage and if i need to role the windows xp back i am just dding the image back to the 80gb hdd [13:23] dubey, I didnt scroll back far enough maybe... let me scroll back tobe sure [13:23] coz_ : not only gamma, overall brightness [13:23] iceroot: there are some other tools out there for partion imageing like that.. that are smarter and more efficient.

I have a simple set of iptables rules that should monitor and log into mysql - using ulogd - connections from and to the server. The problem is that the first ulogd mysql connection triggers a recursive set of connections that block my mysql server. How can I make such a rule to prevent ulogd localhost mysql connections from being logged? [13:59] my theory is that the kernel module I want is zipped up in the linux-image...deb on my system somewhere [14:00] KE1HA : Kernel development is my field of interest too... Please tell me the ways to begin too... [14:00] phlak_user, Okay, I entered the static address, the network mask, the name server addresses.

I think my first post was trimmed somehow: I have a simple set of iptables rules that should monitor and log into mysql - using ulogd - connections from and to the server. The problem is that the first ulogd mysql connection triggers a recursive set of connections that block my mysql server. How can I make such a rule to prevent ulogd localhost mysql connections from being logged? [14:07] glaucous: i guess that the later produces deb files you can remove if needed more easily [14:07] erUSUL: But since ATI actually has an uninstallation SH script, that shouldn't be a problem? [14:08] glaucous: well it can be argued that debs are cleaner but anyway. your system your choice :) [14:08] prodigel: You may want to ask in #iptables , and maybe #ubuntu-server as well. #ubuntu tends to be more desktop oriented.

[14:12] kimi_d: replace the drive, IMO. [14:12] kimi_d: the drive itself ignores those sectors, if the sector count grow are is hight it can be a sign of a dying drive ( buy new one and backup ASAP ) [14:13] is there anyone willing to help me around audio settings pm me [14:13] kimi_d: the drive itself ignores those sectors, if the sector count grow or is very hight it can be a sign of a dying drive ( buy new one and backup ASAP ) [14:13] kimi_d, if your hdd has bad sectors , linux will ignore them as bad an d won't write to them [14:14] BluesKaj: i read that. but i thinkimg : if ubuntu flags thosebad sectors, after format will lose this flags. am i right ? so after format it can not know where was the bad sectos ? :( so this is another problem ? [14:15] hehe , I 've had the same message for over a yr on my hdd , but the sectors are still not used because they are redetected during formatting [14:16] kimi_d, read above [14:16] hi === eric is now known as Guest85043 [14:17] a bad sector stays "bad" in my experience , kimi_d [14:18] BluesKaj: hmm.

(except my old datas) [14:20] kimi_d: If there are only a few it should be OK [14:21] kimi_d: Bad sectors are remapped by the HD itself. [14:21] philinux: so this is not ubuntus feature ? [14:21] kimi_d: no it's a hardware feature [14:21] ubuntu login logo becomes big and ugly after activating nvidia drivers !! [14:21] kimi_d: No. Ubuntu is using software to interogate the drives SMART data [14:22] gentooxer: ok. thank you everyone!... [14:22] kimi_d: did you get the SMART output? [14:22] Hi ubuntu acts weird, when I place cursor on any text input field, it automatically types periods [14:22] Its not the keyboard [14:22] philinux: "interogate the drives SMART data" i dont know what you mean. sorry for my english.

Its working, but just not to a perceived expectation, and a non-relevant comparison, I don't understand why you think this is a problem. [14:35] microsoft: just stand by a minute. [14:35] its problem do you know why? [14:35] ascheel: that wasn't the point [14:35] cuz on youtube 45% of clips are in 1080p [14:36] microsoft, use a videotool like vlc 1.1.2 that could use hardware decoding. [14:36] oer will it help with youtube too? [14:36] microsoft, you can open any url in vlc. [14:36] microsoft, I would recommend filing a bug resport if you feel 65% usage it too high on a given applicaiont. [14:36] arvind_k, are you still there? [14:36] Last night I used PGP full disk encryption to encrypt the disk from inside a Windows partition. ( As the software is meant to do. ) ... the problem is that now I can't boot into my usual Lucid environment. I'm not sure how to fix this. Grub2 is complaining and listing a UUID ( I can't see what the entire error message is because it is going off the screen. ) .. how do I fix this? [14:36] What was that command so that you could backup/mirror folders and so on? [14:36] If I were to make a startup script to say, start game server like Garry's Mod, how would I make it so I can access that server with screen? [14:36] guampa, well I have my normal wired interface set up with vlans that I want to be able to come up automatically, but i also have a usb device that comes up as eth2 when it is plugged in because it does IP over USB, and I would like the settings I have set up in the /etc/network/interfaces to come up automatically when it comes up [14:37] microsoft: you can try downlading the clip and playing it with vlc to see if it gets better === abhijit is now known as Guest99394 [14:37] <_Deko_> ;hop === abhijit_ is now known as abhijit [14:37] robyromania, yes, it says so, as kernels are different, you need to compile it again for lucid [14:37] microsoft, Yeah and all you tube flash videos are loaded into the /tmp directory so all you have to do is wait until the video is downloaded switch into /tmp folder and rename the Flash video to Flash.flv and you can use ffmpeg to turn the flv video into an mpeg [14:37] guampa> i just said when i play hd from you tube cpu is high the same when i play hd from destop cpu is high [14:37] ( Oh, I should probably mention that the Lucid partition was installed from the alt disk with an encrypted partition. ) [14:37] arvind_k, did you read everything i wrote? [14:37] microsoft: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI Try using the non-free (as in speech) driver. [14:37] microsoft, or to validate your findings, have a friend test that file, and compare results. [14:38] robyromania, yes [14:38] arvind_k, i've compiled for lucid, but i has some problems with the headers. i guess that they've made some major modifications from karmic to lucid [14:38] Quantum_Ion: but the he needs the cpu to transcode ... [14:38] arvind_k, but it has* [14:38] gentooxer, okay I missed that part [14:38] arvind_k, that's why i've wanted to talk to someone pro [14:38] Dynamic_Fails: post_up is perfect for that. for example add a line in the eth0 section (assuming eth0 is your wired interface) like "post-up ifup vlanXX; ifup other_iface" etc [14:38] gentooxer: you're missing the point here. His GPU can handle video processing, assuming it's a supported codec (which flash is) [14:39] robyromania, of course, there would be changes, do you have the headers installed? [14:39] arvind_k, yes [14:39] Dynamic_Fails: or call a script that ups several ifaces, etc [14:39] gentooxer: the issue is finding out why the video players are not passing that duty off to the GPU and are instead relying on the CPU [14:39] arvind_k, everything, even the sources of the kernel [14:39] hello! does java come preloaded with standard ubuntu? thx [14:39] arvind_k, and i've pointed the makefile to them [14:39] bindi, No [14:40] Dynamic_Fails: sorry it was post-up not post_up. check the man page for "interfaces" it's all there [14:40] robyromania, what error message do you get, paste the exact message when you try to compile it on Lucid. Please dont use enter as a punctuation mark. [14:40] quantum: talking to me? [14:40] bingbuntu, It is best to get the Java from the Oracle site and install it [14:40] thanks [14:40] The GPU is MADE to handle playing both 3D and video, but if the player doesn't, or doesn't know HOW to interact directly with the GPU, then the only thing it can do is use the CPU, which is why Windows is playing it. ATI doesn't like the FOSS community so their drivers suck for it. [14:40] arvind_k, it should have worked with module-assistant, it's the straightest way [14:40] bingbuntu, yeah [14:40] arvind_k, ok, wait [14:40] quantum: what about searching ubuntu software center? [14:40] robyromania, paste it on pastebin [14:40] arvind_k, give me a link please [14:40] !paste [14:40] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [14:41] bingbuntu, No it is best to get the Java from Oracle it runs 100% on Ubuntu Linux [14:41] robyromania, http://paste.ubuntu.com [14:41] arvind_k, ok, it's processing now [14:41] quantum: got it [14:41] arvind_k, the only problem is at make install [14:42] robyromania, paste the error you get. with the commands you use, what happens at the end of ./configure or whatever is used to do the configure [14:42] bingbuntu, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/whatsnew/index.html [14:42] arvind_k, http://paste.ubuntu.com/479411/ [14:42] arvind_k, it has no configure [14:42] arvind_k, i guess, kernel drivers don't have configure [14:43] 大家好 [14:43] arvind_k, but i think, the solution is in some hidden package, that needs to be installed, or something like that. [14:43] 有人没有 [14:43] can someone tell my how to get the text to display correctly, screen: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46728050@N05/4901370292/lightbox/ [14:43] robyromania, did you check the README ? what is the card model ? [14:43] !cn | administrator_ [14:43] administrator_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:43] test [14:44] bingbuntu: works [14:44] arvind_k, it's not for the card, it's for the led and the button for enabling wireless [14:44] bingbuntu, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html [14:44] arvind_k, i've read everything, and done it as written [14:44] Is there a way to change the standard blue-color that Ubuntu/Gnome uses for links, like in the Help Centre? Through some config-file? [14:44] How could it be that my ubuntu is slow? [14:44] bingbuntu, The Oracle Linux version of Java is more advanced [14:45] arvind_k, but why do they add some source package to the repos, if it doesn't compile with module-assistant? [14:45] Both Firefox and netbeans are slow. [14:45] Quantum_Ion: isnt it closed source too? [14:45] quantum: thanks! [14:45] Somelauw: and by "slow", you mean? [14:45] c3l, I think so [14:45] And my computer isn't really old or anything. [14:45] arvind_k, it works so flawlessly with karmic.. in 5 minutes it was done, everything. [14:45] robyromania, could you point me to the documentation? [14:45] Somelauw, How much RAM does your computer have ? [14:45] arvind_k, what documentation? [14:45] Somelauw: do you have any process eating cpu or so? look in top, or maybe htop is easier [14:46] sipior, for example: You start typing and it takes a while before they are visible on the screen [14:46] robyromania, from wherever you are doing this. [14:46] He probably has under 4GB of RAM is FireFox and Netbeans are that slow [14:46] robyromania, what is the name of the package? from where are you downloading it ? [14:46] arvind_k, from synaptic [14:47] arvind_k, it's arcerhk-source [14:47] Guys, I use xchat version 2.8.6. Latest version is 2.8.8 but update manager (ubuntu repositories) doesn't offer the possibility to upgrade to 2.8.8. It is safe to add xchat official repo to my source list? [14:47] Somelauw, these tweaks do speedup FF > http://www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-firefox-web-browser.html [14:47] Quantum_Ion, Mem: 3929 1689 2239 0 156 894 [14:47] I tried running Eclipse under less then 1GB of RAM and Eclipse kept crashing [14:47] arvind_k, i've downloaded it and tried to install with module-assistant [14:47] robyromania, then why are you compiling it ? [14:47] c3l, only dropbox is always running [14:47] arvind_k, because module assistant gives me errors [14:47] Somelauw: looks normal [14:47] arvind_k, and it's not normal [14:47] c3l, and all defaults [14:48] Somelauw, The minimum nowadays is at least 2GB of RAM [14:48] arvind_k, that i get errors with module-assistant [14:48] or else your modern computer will just crawl [14:48] arvind_k, so i tried to compile manually [14:48] arvind_k, like here: http://www.edbl.no/karmic/amilo_1718_wireless_in_ubuntu_9.10.txt [14:49] Somelauw: btw. i have the same problem after waking my pc from standby...i cant even properly use the terminal [14:49] arvind_k, are you familliar with module-assistant? [14:49] robyromania, just give me a moment [14:49] cesc the xchat ppa gives 2.8.8 only for Macerick 10.10 > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat [14:50] is there any room for mysql [14:50] Somelauw: thats strange, whave version are you running and how long have you had the issues? [14:50] Quantum_Ion: wtf? 512 is enough by far, unless youre running some heave fancy DE [14:50] babu__: Oddly enough, #mysql [14:50] My terminal acts normal, it has more to do with GUI's like firefox and netbeans. [14:50] sorry language :( [14:50] 10.04.1 today? [14:50] c3l, 10.04.01 [14:50] Hi. Knows anybody what to do if apache2 and mysql don't starts during boot process? Logs are clear and I can start them manually by "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" (and the same for mysql)? I'm on 10.04. [14:50] Somelauw: I suggest turning of all evil compositing and fancy shiny stuff [14:51] would there be any problem if i install java-32 on an ubuntu-64? thanks [14:51] c3l, that's just dropbox. [14:51] Somelauw: you use gnome or kde? [14:51] sburjan, salut, ma poti ajuta cu o chestie? [14:52] No, 32-bit will work with no problem [14:52] Compiling and stuff all runs fast. Only when I type an adress or when I wait for autocompletion it takes 5 sec or something. [14:52] c3l, gnome [14:53] Somelauw: do you use any graphical effects? compositing as its called. such ass effects when you minimize a window or similar? [14:53] guys my laptop sound worked on 9.10 but on 10.04 in the sound preferences I've only got dummy out [14:53] the input appears to be working [14:53] It's not as bad as windows where I have to wait 15 minutes before my desktop appears (that happens after 2 years or something) [14:53] c3l, I use the default graphical effects. [14:54] how to rename the tag of six songs with same album and composer...pls give cmnd [14:54] Somelauw: if your computer is quite old and weak hardware wise, I suggest using some lighter DE than gnome and kde, looka at lxde maybe, or just use a wm without a DE, but that might be a bit more complex [14:54] Somelauw: turn all the fancy stuff off :) [14:54] robyromania, did you do make before make install ?? [14:55] arvind_k, yeah, i did that [14:55] anyone able to help me with my sound problem? [14:55] arvind_k, it took 4 hours or so to compile [14:55] robyromania, does it run fine, you dont get any errors on it?? [14:55] arvind_k, on compiling, no [14:55] c3l, it's not old and I have no fancy stuff except default stuff. All programs run fast and booting is very fast too. Only firefox and netbeans sometimes freeze for a few seconds. [14:55] arvind_k, but i had to modifiy the makefile to compile [14:56] arvind_k, and install linux-source-2.6.32 [14:56] !sound | acegiak [14:56] acegiak: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [14:56] arvind_k, and point the Makefile there, because i didn't work (it was pointing to the headers, but gave errors) [14:56] arvind_k, that's why i'm asking what the problem with the headers is in lucid [14:56] thanks abhjit [14:56] Somelauw: hmm, well as some one else statde it sounds like not enough ram. if you run firefoxa lone, does it still cause troubble? === TenPhil_ is now known as TenPhil [14:57] c3l, "alone"? No other applications opened? Only one tab? What do you mean? [14:57] Somelauw: exactly [14:57] Hi. Knows anybody what to do if apache2 and mysql don't starts during boot process? Logs are clear and I can start them manually by "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" (and the same for mysql)? I'm on 10.04. [14:58] robyromania, what is the model of your laptop? [14:58] arvind_k, fujitsu-siemens amilo li 1718 [14:58] how to rename the tag of six songs with same album and composer...pls give cmnd [14:59] Hi, if i have adware tracking cookie on linux how can remove it? [14:59] crazydiamond, checkconfig or update rc.d [14:59] babu__: youll need some software to easy handle id3 tags [14:59] thanks. I'll check this out [14:59] hello everyone! question: is there a way to set my online status (within empathy) from CLI? [14:59] dariopnc: no, it's a gui tool [14:59] thanks ikonia! [15:00] Last night I used PGP full disk encryption to encrypt the disk from inside a Windows partition. ( As the software is meant to do. ) ... the problem is that now I can't boot into my usual Lucid environment. I'm not sure how to fix this. Grub2 is complaining and listing a UUID ( I can't see what the entire error message is because it is going off the screen. ) .. how do I fix this? [15:00] dariopnc: if you like chatting from the terminal I suggest using irssi as irc client and bitlbee to get your IM (msn, google talk, jabber icq etcetc)into irssi [15:00] c3l, right now I have only one tab open. [15:00] It's still slow [15:00] hi guys. Need help with bind9 - I've installed ubuntu server 10.04, installed bind9 and set a nameserver and forwarders for it [15:00] I'm getting slow responses, that don't seem to hit the cache [15:01] But the tab I have open is google images. Maybe that is the problem. [15:01] c3l, now it's fast again. [15:01] then I run screen on the box, and the cache works great (response time 0ms) [15:01] Hi, if i have adware tracking cookie on linux how can remove it? [15:01] c3l: thank you for the suggestion but i'm trying to interact with empathy to change the login status [15:01] robyromania, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1180170 [15:02] And can I fire the same process that runs on boot and writes all the lines with [ OK ] and [fail]? [15:02] anyone with an idea why the cache for bind9 is only hit when I run screen and not when running normally? [15:02] Somelauw: strange, well its got to be something with firefox. try fixing it the ugly way, completly wipe firefox and reinstall it :) [15:02] Somelauw: I have no ideas otherwise sorry [15:02] sd [15:02] Hi if i have adware tracking cookie on linux how can detect it and remove it? [15:03] gos, use your browsers options to clear cookies [15:03] #mysql [15:03] arvind_k, i've been through that. those steps are for karmic. i have no problems in karmic, it goes much easier than in that post [15:03] anyone here? [15:03] where is xorg.conf in ubuntu 10.10? [15:03] robyromania, its for lucid [15:03] its not in /etc/X11 [15:03] anyone know anything about setfont? i've got a weird problem [15:04] c3l, well thanks for your ideas. [15:04] arvind_k, the posts are so old.. [15:04] robyromania, sorry, dint see that [15:05] fake51 its adware tracking cookie hidden that is not removed by the cleaner firefox [15:05] Where is a good place to ask a question about encrypted partitions not booting? In particular, /dev/disk/by-uuid seems to be missing. [15:05] gos, a cookie is a browser thing [15:06] i used setfont on one of my virtual (ctrl+alt+f4) terminals to change the font, and now my typing is getting randomly replaced by underscores -- the actual letter typed is the same, but it displays on the screen as an underscore. any idea how to fix this, or reset things? [15:06] storm_zen, I think you just asked in a good place. If anyone knows the answer they will speak up Im sure. [15:06] quilby: xorg.conf has been optional for a few releases now. Maverick questions belong in #ubuntu+1 though. [15:07] pici: ok thanks [15:07] fake51, adware tracking cookie is injected into the flash player [15:08] gos, find your flash players tmp directory then, most likely place for it [15:08] gos, that is not an ubuntu issue, but an adobe one; go to their website and set it there [15:09] Is there a way I can create a .txt file of all the software i have installed? [15:09] robyromania, file a bug [15:10] Xpistos: why...? [15:10] Xpistos: dpkg --get-selections > textfile.txt [15:10] dpkg -l >> Installed-Files.txt [15:10] arvind_k, what? i don't get it === ahmed_ is now known as dodo [15:11] guampa, wow!! thanks ! i also needed that!!! :D [15:11] !bug | robyromania [15:11] robyromania: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [15:11] arvind_k, ok, thanks for the time [15:11] guampa, and any way to just read that file again and install from it? [15:12] bazhang ,Aware the tracking cookie "is a threat for linux or only work with windows? [15:12] robyromania, np. couldnt be of much help [15:12] abhijit: later you can do "dpkg --set-selections < textfile.txt" and "apt-get dselect-upgrade" to install them all again [15:12] gos, all flash. not an OS specific issue, so not ontopic here; as I said, go to adobe website and fix it there [15:13] java is not working properly in ANY of my browsers [15:13] on a ubuntu server, I change /etc/motd with sudo, but it keeps changing it back to the original >_> how do I stop it from doing this? [15:13] venik: have you installed the plugin? [15:13] I have Icedtea [15:13] guampa, just can you tell me what the apt-get dselect-upgrade will do? [15:14] Nijverheid: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/changing-default-motd-debian-lenny/ [15:14] guampa: thanks. It wasn't auto completeing so i thought it was going to work [15:14] Nijverheid: should work on ubuntu too [15:14] which plugin do I need? [15:14] llutz: cheers [15:14] abhijit: it will install all the packages selected by the previous "dpkg --set-selections" [15:15] guampa, ok [15:15] venik: icedtea6-plugin, i believe [15:16] llutz: thing is... it's not even rebooting and the motd changes [15:16] which is what is throwing me [15:16] bazhang, the adware tracking cookie Can violate your online privacy also with Linux or Windows only? [15:17] can't find icedtea* [15:17] gos: cookies work everywhere [15:18] venik, enable partner repo [15:18] venik: what does "apt-cache search icedtea" report?

[15:22] bazhang where is for linux a ccleaner or a superantispyware or similar for linux? [15:23] gos, join me in #ubuntu-offtopic and I'll give you the flash link [15:23] gos, no spyware for linux [15:23] There's no need really :-) [15:24] guampa, ok [15:24] bazhang but if i have adware traclking cookie .... [15:24] Last night I used PGP full disk encryption to encrypt the disk from inside a Windows partition. ( As the software is meant to do. ) ... the problem is that now I can't boot into my usual encrypted Lucid environment. I'm not sure how to fix this. Grub2 is complaining and listing a UUID ( I can't see what the entire error message is because it is going off the screen. ) .. how do I fix this? [15:24] gos, go to ubuntu-offtopic bazhang is there to talk to you [15:26] storm_zen, I saw ur post earlier, is this a widows ap, or linux app that did the PGP encrypt? [15:27] or in other words, how did you encrypt this partition. [15:27] PGP Desktop, a Windows program. [15:28] KE1HA: ... but not a partition encryption... a full disk encryption.. [15:28] storm_zen, ok, and you encrypted the partition Post UB installation ? [15:28] I encrypted the disk post encrypted Ubuntu installation. [15:28] howdy [15:29] storm_zen, I need to think on that one fer a bit, but I dont think you'll get through the encryption layer with a bootloader, but could be wrong. [15:29] KE1HA: Would such a thing change the UUID of the partition? That seems to be my issue. [15:30] KE1HA: I had Karmic running successfully Linux encrypted partition + PGP Desktop full disk encryption on top of it. [15:32] Some help..? :) I recently left the gnome world for kde... however, I can not seem to get KDE to remember my video settings. I have read forum after forum and tried fix after fix. Any suggestions? I have 2 25 inch acers. I am running kubuntu 10.04. I have a nvidia gs 7200. [15:32] storm_zen, I'm not familiar with the app your referring too, I've not used it, nor can I see a reason for it, but that's here nor there. Can you use this windows app to remove this encryption ? [15:33] KE1HA: In theory, yes. But that's not my first choice: It's a 10 hour commitment to do so. [15:33] I'm using my college's wifi to connect to internet... I must give username and password for every session of any browser... Thus, it is not possible for me to update through terminal... Is there a way that i could enter the username and password of my wifi connection in the terminal... [15:35] Sangeeth, use tabbed browsing [15:35] Some help..? :) I recently left the gnome world for kde... however, I can not seem to get KDE to remember my video settings. I have read forum after forum and tried fix after fix. Any suggestions? I have 2 25 inch acers. I am running kubuntu 10.04. I have a nvidia gs 7200. [15:35] storm_zen, I can't tell you how Grub2 is reacting to the encryption layer, I just don't, and to try and fix this from within the Linux environment, make cause all sorts of issues. Many things have changed from Karmic to Lucid. [15:36] hey guys, my empathy doesnt show userlist in irc [15:36] in channel [15:36] How i can change a channel? O_o" === emc_ is now known as emc [15:37] I followed the instructions in the wiki, but Java still does not work. If I boot Windows on this machine, it does work-- no hardware problems here [15:37] Kai69: /join #channel [15:37] thanks ^^ [15:37] venik, you enabled partner repo? [15:37] KE1HA: I wasn't looking to make any changes other than config changes. I wanted to see if I could figure out a way to manually boot into the partition... to start, where is it getting the UUID that is in the error message? [15:38] KE1HA: I tried booting into rescue, but blkid returns nothing. [15:38] storm_zen, My recommendation would be to go to the PGP Windows people and ask them how to fix the problem, as you asking Linux folks to understand what a Windows app is doing to a Linux machine :-) wow that's interesting.

[16:00] bazhang: Ya...whenever i open the browser i have to enter the username and password... IS there any way that i could update through the terminal... [16:00] babigeneric: make your bind server a slave to ms server, tell ms server your linux server is allowed zone transfers. Bring up bind and query and name. Bind will bring copies of the dns over, change the domain in bind from slave to master. You're done.

[16:03] bazhang: :( [16:04] Scampbell you are fantastic a million thanks [16:04] Sangeeth, I just told you you cannot; why are you still asking?

[16:04] Frater: L2TP* [16:04] bazhang: Enthusiasm, agony :( [16:05] shayaknyc: And you did of course check the configuration is the same for the security things, and you also made sure the pptpd is running and listening for incoming calls, right?

IPTABLES blocked GRE ports (needed for PPTP). PPTP server was not started (ps aux | grep pptpd). Masquerading in IPTABLES; if you use it, has to be configured correctly... [16:09] Yep, i can provide that..:) [16:10] running lucid. this morning, the screen was black, and I couldn't get a response. It's running in vbox, so after about 45 minutes, I just shut it down. It turns out that it was doing a full backup, because I had forgotten to mount the network drive where the backups are kept, so it was treating the mount point as a local directory, found no interim backups, and so began a full. Is there some... [16:10] ...way to get a response when something like that is going on, a linux version of ctl-alt-del? [16:10] i am getting locale error how to fix that LANGUAGE UNSET ; LOCAL ALL UNSET error [16:10] frater: my iptables are configged properly (i believe) and pptpd is running :( [16:11] Hey :) [16:11] I need some help here, can I get any support here [16:11] ? :) [16:11] ask the question, not if you can ask a question [16:11] j_ayen_green: trick for the future. Remove all permissions on the mountpoints (when they aren't mounted). chmod a-rwx /mountpoint. When mounted it will have whatever permissions the media wants, when not it's untouchable so that sort thing stands right up instead of hosing all your disk space. [16:11] <`oi> eh what is the best distro on the earth and.. on the moon? [16:12] `oi: seriously. [16:12] `oi: If you're expecting any other answer than Ubuntu, then you should be asking in ##linux, not here.

[16:12] In dockbarx nautilus doesn't show up :) how can I make it show up, nautilus shows up in default window list, what do I Need to do? [16:12] bye [16:12] `oi: And even then.... [16:12] scampbell: thanks, great tip. aside from that, when a process like that is running and linux won't respond..is there a way to force some response? [16:13] Hi all my Ubuntu machine fully updated is not showing the plymouth :( and sometimes it shows for just a split second. any workaround?? [16:13] j_ayen_green: my guess is that you ran out of disk space for crucial needs, it's very difficult for me to guess the exact situation. My flailing attempt would be ctrl-alt-f1 for a text screen and see if I can unfsck things from there. [16:14] In dockbarx nautilus doesn't show up :) how can I make it show up, nautilus shows up in default window list, what do I Need to do to make it show up in dockbarx? [16:14] ranjan your pc boots too fast ? i don't have a solution for that. [16:14] Nixie dockbar use compiz, do you have compiz enabled ?

[16:15] scampbell: no, wasn't out of disk space...I'm only using about 10 gig out of 50. I was watching the process monitor in windows (the host) while this was going on, and it was a lot of disk action, the occasional network action (reading a different networked drive that it includes in the backup) and about 80% cpu...so it was active, it was a matter of the screen saver wouldn't respond and clear === nilsa5_ is now known as nilsa5 [16:16] bazhang, no... what's that? [16:16] o.O [16:16] luka, pulseaudio settings devices [16:16] Has anyone tried Chrome OS? I want to dual boot it but I don't have a USB stick and all the guides use one, can it be done without? I have the img files [16:17] BlaDe^: chrome OS isn't anything to do with ubuntu === sshc_ is now known as sshc [16:17] no but I want to make the partition and install it in ubuntu [16:17] BlaDe^: ok - it's nothing to do with ubuntu [16:17] BlaDe^: you can use gparted to make a partition though [16:18] okay thanks [16:18] bazhang, I need to redirect sound from my notebook speakers to line in jack 'couse my line out jack is dead [16:18] !gparted > BlaDe^ [16:18] BlaDe^, please see my private message [16:19] j_ayen_green: Don't know, the evidence given was that a backup process was writing to the wrong place and your system became unresponsive. I've seen the screen saver and X in general lock up hard for disk space issues before. If that's not the case for you then we are just playing darwinian pool :) [16:19] bazhang, any idea? [16:20] luka, I'd suggest trying with those first [16:20] er, darwinian pool: You are given a pool table with the balls in the pockets you must tell us how they got there . [16:21] usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed [16:21] bazhang, ok I installed it but dunno how to set it [16:21] :) [16:21] how can i solve this& [16:21] please help [16:21] luka, right click add to panel and adjust there [16:21] j_ayen_green: I can say that in the specific case of the locked screensaved it's goign to be extremely difficult to get around that if it's failed. It's designed just for that. Personally, I don't allow screen saver or screen locks to happen on my servers as a matter of safety. [16:22] scampbell: well, it's that it was backing up what is 20% of the total disk space available, so I don't know how that could have filled it. I shut down the host, rebooted, and then received a fail message on the mount, because the mount point now had files in it, a good share of the full backup, and the deja dup gave me a popup saying the backup had failed for unknown reasons. I presume... [16:22] ...based on the activity that it was still cruising along doing the backup, and that had the system pegged [16:22] Ke1ha, i've wireless card info... [16:22] is there a way to check how many time someone try to log on to my ubuntu pc ? [16:22] is there a log recording this ? [16:22] OneMillionDollar, /var/log/auth.log [16:23] OneMillionDollar, and /var/log/daemon.log for ssh [16:23] Is there a way to force nautilus to always sort folders by name? Like how Windows file browser behaves by default ? [16:23] locale unset error need fix in 10.04 [16:23] need some help here 2 with the directions...what channal is it best 2 go 2 if i need help with linux itself ? [16:23] dmaxx: #linux maybe? [16:23] bazhang, dunno where are setting for choosing output jack [16:24] Does Ubuntu have a GUI for firewall management tool? [16:24] stercor: gufw [16:24] j_ayen_green: likely so. It's just terribly difficult to debug a situation like that, you can comb the logs for evidence of the issue but if some resource exhaustion occured there a pretty good likelyhood it didn't make it to the logs anyway. :( [16:24] How to fix /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed? How to install these modules& [16:24] wireless network detected but not getting connected.. [16:24] aeon-ltd: hanks [16:24] i must have a invite it say aeon-ltd [16:24] stercor: your welcome [16:24] folks any help..? [16:24] cant get alltray working - can anybody help me - i have it installed but it just wont do what it's supposed to [16:25] How do I force download of a package if the package is already up to date? [16:25] hareldvd, what package and why ? [16:25] hareldvd: aptitude download package_name; will download it to the current directory if that is what you want [16:25] scampbell: I've noticed in the past that the photo slide show screen saver sometimes just sits there black, and that it's sometimes slow to respond to a mouse click, to clear itself. I wonder if the system being pegged like that and the screen saver having (presumably) a very low priority was a fatal situation [16:26] j_ayen_green: that's one form a resource exhaustion. Perhaps a message queue got stuffed by the backup software trying to complain about the situation, I could make up others but they're all without evidence :( [16:27] anyway i have manages 2 cloned wrong driver into a the drive i was gonna to clone with g4l and now the HDD is wiped from info and is replaced with the g4l itself,i kind of need it get bk as i have 5 year of work there xD [16:27] stercor: ufw firewall has a gui install it with: sudo apt-get install gufw [16:27] Hi! I'm writing an extension for firefox. Since it I'm writing it from the ground up, is it possible to write it in a way to make it compatible (or easy to port for) with Google chrome. has anyone attempted to do do something like this? Any link for a web page about it? [16:27] carandraug: I don't think the #ubuntu channel can tell you much about that. Perhaps ask in a firefox channel about such programming. [16:28] nilsa5: I've installed gufw. Is that the one you mentioned? [16:28] scampbell: could be. I'm of the opinion for some reason that the backup software was having no problem, since it had already created numerous full backup volumes and had plenty of disk space left, but that I just couldn't get to the desktop because of the screen saver being in the way [16:28] stercor: yes [16:29] #ubuntu GUYS I NEED HELP FOR REDIRECTING SOUND OUTPUT TO LINE IN JACK(BLUE ONE) BECAUSE LINE OUT JACK(GREEN ONE) IS DEAD! [16:29] scampbell, thanks. I asked ubuntu-app-devel but got no answer there. I'm so used to look only into the ubuntu community that it never ocurred me to ask firefox [16:29] j_ayen_green: You would certainly have a better feel for it they I would from this distance :) I stand by my statement that screen savers don't belong on servers. [16:29] !caps | luka [16:29] luka: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [16:29] I am getting this error when trying to run sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade my pastebin>>>>> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/0gqU9XF6 [16:30] scampbell: well, you have my vote now. i'll look for a desktop slideshow instead of the screensaver :) [16:30] hi everybody [16:30] .... still need some advice here u know -_- [16:30] #ubuntu guys i need help for redirecting sound output to line in jack (blue one) because line out jack(green one) is dead. it's lower case, will someone answer now? [16:30] stercor: you can try firestarter instead(its a another firewall): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firestarter [16:31] tought firestarter is not that good option after what i mean-_- [16:31] anyone? I asked in lowercase o.O that's important [16:32] yo luka stand in line/?/ [16:32] xD [16:32] luka: line in is for input, line out and speaker out would be for output. Both line out and speaker out are likely outputting by default, however, line out is a signifcantly lower voltage. You might try alsamixer to ensure the individual volumes are turned up but line out and speaker out or not interchangable electronically. [16:32] lol@stand in line [16:33] scampbell, with windows I managed that with realtek hd audio manager [16:33] is there an easy way to switch between network interface settigns? [16:33] nooow that is answer,could some pretty pretty please with cherry on top give a little lost guy like me a little help maybe? [16:33] xD [16:34] scampbell: so what's ctl-alt-f1 do? I just did it, to try, and the screen went blank and asked for a login, which I gave, and now it's just sitting there [16:34] luka: then try alsamixer, if the voltage is sufficient for your need fine, just wanted you to be aware of the electronic issue there. [16:34] !ask | dmaxx [16:34] dmaxx: 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. :-) [16:35] dmaxx: If you have a disk image perhaps you can mount it on another system. I don't use ghost so I don't know what it put on the backup disk really. [16:35] scampbell: ah, now I appear to be at the command ine [16:35] i know that without u blue gonna tell the bot 2 tell me xD [16:35] *line [16:35] scampbell, man... i just want my speakers play when i turn them in blue jack [16:35] :D [16:35] luka laptop ? [16:35] not notebook speakers but those real one with subs [16:35] :) [16:36] Oer, yes [16:36] luka: you can change in the individual volumes of the various outputs on your sound card up and down with alsamixer. why not give it a try? [16:36] what i mean scampbell i need 2 find a way 2 get bk all the files and stuff that a clone software whave removed,any good software for that?? [16:36] isnt today 10.04.1 day? [16:36] how do I know if TRIM is working with my SSD? I upgraded to 2.6.33 kernel, and I have changed my fstab file. [16:36] luka, there are some issues with laptops with no line out working. [16:37] except testdisk??? [16:37] j_ayen_green: ctrl_alt_f1 switches you to the text screen, no gui at all. ctrl-alt-f7 (or 8 depending on your installation) will take you back to the graphical. [16:37] scampbell, i did but only notebook speakers work... [16:37] I am desperate, and searching for someone who can help me with permissions in ubuntu, (ProFTPD and Samba) [16:37] scampbell: ah! thanks :) [16:37] j_ayen_green: be aware that a locked screen saver will disallow that action so you can't get out of it that way. another reason why I think screensavers are bad. [16:37] Oer, thaks man you made my day [16:37] :) [16:37] xD [16:38] luka did you google ubuntu + laptopname + laptop typ + line out ? [16:38] Hai [16:38] Can someone remember me how to mount windows desktop on ubuntu?

[16:42] jpds: good!!! been waiting weeks [16:43] hi am using a new ubuntu distro called pinguyos [16:43] its awesome [16:43] jpds, already got it here [16:43] How to uncompile java gcc into ghc piped thorugh xterm in bash via vb.NET (and I want the god damn makefile for it) [16:43] bazhang: what do you got there [16:43] Hi 10.04 user here... I'm not able to group windows using compiz for some reason. Can someone help? [16:43] prakash-567, thats not supported here, hence offtopic [16:43] djzn, 10.04.1 [16:43] bazhang: where did you get the iso [16:44] mrdk: that was quite a string of gibberish. [16:44] Hi, I'm testing a program in a terminal. How can I enter a "newline" in the terminal? Pressing the Enter key submits my text. Is there a key combination like Ctrl+Enter, or something, to make a newline? [16:44] djzn, not the iso. just apt-get upgrade [16:44] bazhang: i am not talking about updates.... i am talking about installing it in 40 machines... without having to do anything [16:44] sipior, impressively almost-coherent though :) [16:44] Seveas-train: perhaps he works in management [16:44] sipior: no, really not [16:44] sipior: my brother wanted to know [16:44] djzn, ah, then what jpds said [16:44] what torrent clients do people recommend? transmission is causing my system to freeze :( [16:44] sipior: help me [16:44] ah, the brother argument.... [16:45] !torrent > kiamo [16:45] kiamo, please see my private message [16:45] sipior: plz [16:45] hi! [16:45] Hi folks. I'm running LL, and on a regular basis my system hangs. It just quits responding to everything (network contacts, too), and the only way to fix the problem is a reboot through the power button. I've poked around in syslog for some solutions to the problem, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Any other log or similar place I should go to, to get som hints to the roots of the problem? [16:45] I have a problem when I want to install ubuntu 10.4 [16:45] mrdk: you might try using coherent language. that will make it easier for both of us. [16:45] tseug: \ and then hit Enter [16:45] !details | milko [16:45] milko: 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 ..." [16:45] I have my disk with the partitions, but the ubuntu installar doesn't recognize these [16:46] sipior: isn't my question sophisticated enough for a toilet cleaner like you? [16:46] mrdk, you get linker to thwirble the objectcode and then it's a matter of degrubbing the results with a preprocessor [16:46] the strange thing is that when I open nautilus [16:46] misha: are you using a notebook? [16:46] all partitiones are there [16:46] mrdk, thats enough [16:46] Seveas-train: I guess that'll work, that might be the correct way to do it [16:46] mrdk: classy. you didn't actually understand your question, did you? [16:46] ubottu, abhijeet ^ [16:46] yashi: Nope, a "normal" computer. I suspect the fancy Nvidia-graphics-card... [16:46] bazhang: no you DIDN'T [16:46] misha: Have you tried ifup and ifdown [16:47] bazhang, could you be a dear and remove the nuisance? [16:47] Just wondering has anybody tried installing the latest distro onto a dell 745? [16:47] bazhang, could you do the honours? [16:47] vigo: No, what does those tool do? [16:47] misha: They are just network resets, one moment,,,, [16:47] ahh, ikonia stole it [16:48] hi, process-monitor does not show the "real" memory usage; in the resources tab, I see that there is 3.7GB of RAM used, +759MB SWAP, but the processes tab shows that the biggest process (Chrome) uses not even 800MB, and all other are less than 200MB. .... I'm confused [16:48] Hi there, help on wireless network problem...any experts ?? [16:48] Nikie, give us a lot more details [16:48] yanick_, how much ram is used as filecache? [16:48] it doesn't add up [16:48] yanick_, what is the output of 'free -m' [16:48] vigo: OK. Well, the system hangs *completely*. Keyboard/mouse doesn't react, and so on [16:48] misha: here is one page on it:> http://www.ubuntu.com/search/google-appliance/ifup [16:48] ubottu, abhijeet: with gparted I got "unallocated" [16:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:48] bazhang - Initially when i installed ubuntu 10.04 on virtual Machine, it was able to detect the wireless network and got connected to it automatically...However, when i've installed ubuntu as a dual OS, it has detected the wireless network but is not getting connected. [16:48] Seveas-train, hold on... severe system lag :( [16:49] Does anyone know good font to use on ubuntu 10.04 Ambiance? [16:49] vigo: Thx, I'll have a peek. But, as I said, it seems to be more than a network error. [16:49] Has anybody tried installing the latest Distro on a Dell 745? When I try it gives me a black screen but I can install the netbook edition.... [16:49] could I get some help on compiz, please? I have the group and tab windows plugin enabled, but the thing doesn't work when I select windows [16:49] Seveas-train, it shows 3060 total, 3923 used, 37 free, 0 shared, 10 buffers, 136 cached [16:50] Nikie, lspci to paste.ubuntu.com please; also the output of ifconfig , then give us the URL; dont paste into channel but to that website [16:50] navneeth, try #compiz [16:50] What command would I use to mount a thumb drive without root privs? [16:50] yanick_, pastebin full output please [16:50] misha: That page also covers that, the ifup/down are system calls, they also may assist in locating the error or dropped packets. [16:50] As if I had clicked on the drive from a file manager? [16:50] bazhang, that place is quieter than a graveyard [16:50] navneeth, then be patient [16:50] navneeth: then read the compiz wiki [16:51] Seveas-train, http://pastie.org/1097931 [16:52] xangua, did that too... the instructions are pretty clear, and I have used this feature before... but for some reason, in a new installation where plugins-extra was not installed until an hour ago this feature is not working [16:52] yanick_, of your 3.9gb used, 3.7 is used by the os to cache files. This is good. [16:52] Anyone know good wallpaper for Ambiance theme? [16:52] vigo: Mmm...ok...I'll have a look. Should an error situation result in some log entries? [16:52] What command does Nautilus use to mount drives without root privs? [16:53] do someone know a better software then testdisk 2 use 2 recover a formatted/wiped HDD?? [16:53] bazhang - http://paste.ubuntu.com/479464/ [16:53] misha: That is the next step to look into, yes. [16:53] Seveas-train, oh yeah? my system is lagging as hell as soon as my hd starts spinning and writing like crazy for 30 seconds every 5 min and the mouse stops moving, etc. [16:53] this is GOOD? [16:53] yanick_, the moment an application needs the memory, those files are removed from the cache. [16:53] yanick_, this is not the reason of your disk spinning like hell. That is something else [16:53] Which logfile would be closest? As I said, syslog just ends without any mention of any problems... [16:53] Seveas-train, the biggest app open are Chrome and Netbeans... how can they use 4GB of RAM?? [16:53] dmaxx, a magnifying glass [16:54] Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN Nikie and ifconfig shows wlan0 [16:54] remote????? whoot?? [16:54] yanick_, they are not. Most of your memory is actually unused, so linux uses it to cache recently used files this makes your system considerably faster. Try to find out what is running during your periods of lag and what it is doing. [16:54] Nikie, you have an unencrypted wifi spot to test on? [16:54] is that really a software??? >_< [16:54] Seveas-train, the system is fine until it goes in screen saver mode (screen locked), then everything starts to get sticky, slow and laggish [16:54] dmaxx, i admire your originality [16:54] misha: Network Interfaces, should be [16:55] :-p [16:55] yanick_, that looks more like you have enabled opengl screensavers while using an intel or old videocard [16:55] vigo: I had a quick peek at ifup/dn but can't immediately figure out how they would detect a complete system crash... [16:55] Seveas-train, my video card is an ATI Radeo HD 3670 [16:55] Is it possible to delete your swap partition and add it to your main one? I have 4GB of RAM and haven't used swap in a LONG time. I don't think so anyways. I long ago set my swapiness to 0. [16:56] hello [16:56] yanick_, or some screensaver that insists on loading gigs of photos [16:56] Seveas-train, my system is a Dell Studio XPS 16 , so I'd say pretty recent hardware, there shouldn't be any lag.... [16:56] how to set the login windows backgroud in ubuntu 10.04 [16:56] bazhang - No :( [16:57] misha: I only suggested those as an alternative to a system boot, and those sys calls may help find the error. [16:57] Seveas-train, yeah... that should be more like it, even though all I see for pictures are the gnome color test one all the time :/ [16:57] how can I reduce resolution of wallpaper from 1920x1600 to 1024x768 without losing picture capacity [16:57] are = is [16:57] yanick_, just use 'blank screen' as screensaver. You're not looking at it anyway :) [16:57] Friar: I would not recommend removing the swap partition (although is possible). Are you having problems of space on the disk? [16:57] anyone can help me ? [16:57] vigo: OK. Well, the problem is that I can't do *anything* with the computer. The mouse and keyboard is dead, it just lacks responding :( [16:58] OpenSourceCode: use gimp [16:58] hi everyone [16:58] cole_, install gdm2setup [16:58] What command replaces devkit-disks in 10.04? [16:58] thank you === _NG is now known as _ng [16:58] bazhang - but, i can change the settings so that any user can access without having to enter the password ? Is that ok ? [16:58] I know ubuntu has the UbuntuOne store but it really doesn't have any artists I like in it. I'd love to actually buy music but I can't see how I can do this on linux. Is there any way I can buy itunes music on linux/ubuntu? [16:58] candrea, I have a 30GB SSD, so I'm kind of tight....also, I don't know if I have anything in a recycle bin. My wife kept putting pictures on the SSD when I told her to used the external HDD for that becasue we simply do not have the storage space. We take a lot of pictures. [16:58] cole_, https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup [16:58] oh no,my version is 10.04 [16:59] Seveas-train, aawww... but they are nice looking and makes Ubuntu look cool :P yeah. I'll try to use the blank screen only and see if the problem persists. However, I think it is a -1 for Ubuntu; the fact that it get's laggy with OpenGL screensavers... [16:59] Nikie, that is what unencrypted means [16:59] there is no gdm2setup [16:59] cole_, i gave you the link [16:59] yanick_, did you install the closed source driver for your ati card? [16:59] ojii, check the appdb and join #winehq [16:59] Seveas-train, yes [16:59] !appdb | ojii [16:59] ojii: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [17:00] Seveas-train, I activated the thrid party repos and insalled it [17:00] bazhang, I'm aware of wine, but that's not what I call a solution [17:00] yanick_, err, it's not in a 3rd party repo... [17:00] Seveas-train, or do you mean did I download it from the ATI site ? [17:00] Nikie, once that is done, then sudo dhclient wlan0 to test [17:00] yanick_, no, from the 'restricted' repo [17:00] Do you foresee issues with using debs in lucid, but werent created for karmic? Was going to use this ppa for the dcc-client, etc. http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonasped/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dcc/ [17:01] Seveas-train, then yes, sorry I meant restricted [17:01] ojii, that or use virtualbox with windows, there is not a linux version of iTunes, nor will there ever be [17:01] hello all [17:01] ya..i understood...:) I'll do it.. [17:01] hi [17:01] hi [17:01] Friar: to remove the swap you'll have to both delete the partition and remove the reference from /etc/fstab [17:01] n ping u back... [17:01] quick question does anybody else find 8.04.4 more stable than 10.04 [17:01] bazhang, :( [17:01] 8.04? :-o nooooo [17:02] MACscr, could work, but completely at your own risk and unsupported when/if it breaks [17:02] why i'm asking is i'm thinking of going back [17:02] to 8.04.4 [17:02] candrea, will deleting the partition allow me to have the extra 2GB of space? [17:02] CopyWriter: 8.04 is more tested and fixed then 10.04 because its older and still supported [17:02] or should i just stick to 10.04 [17:02] CopyWriter: 8.04.4 will have more testing and bug sqaushing done. [17:02] Friar: yes, but first you'll have to resize your "main" partition too [17:02] could someone explain what RSA keypair is all about? === histo_ is now known as histo [17:02] ajsie, Google RSA [17:03] I see...so I have to unmount swap before I can do it...candrea. [17:03] Friar: you can also resize your swap to e.g. 500 MB [17:03] !google | yacc [17:03] yacc: 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. [17:03] i love the 10.04 lts release but it's a paiin to configure my wireless drivers [17:03] yanick_, that was for you ^^^^ [17:03] ajsie, or look on wikipedia for "public key cryptography" [17:03] propriety hardware driver doesn't detect it [17:03] abhijit, good to know [17:03] Friar: to modify partitions you'll have to use a live cd [17:03] ajsie: its a form of asymetric key encryption. Its a rather indepth topic, so you should google it. [17:03] but in your opinions guys which would you choose the 8.04 lts or 10.03 [17:03] i mean 10.04 [17:03] Candrea. Thanks for the help. I'm not sure I want to risk it at the moment. I have heard that people can sometimes have problems changing partitions...like losing everything. [17:04] !poll | CopyWriter [17:04] CopyWriter: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:04] CopyWriter, dont poll here [17:04] sorry about that guys [17:04] ajsle: They are for Authentication [17:04] did it without even realizing === _ng is now known as _NG [17:04] bazhang: think it might be better just to get the packages from the developers and compile it? [17:04] didn't mean to offend anyone [17:05] MACscr, certainly safer [17:05] CopyWriter: whats the point of asking?, neither maintain your own ubuntu :) [17:05] Friar: to try to save more disk space have you tried using the Disk Usage Analyzer? [17:05] ajsie, basically, RSA is an encryption algorithm that uses a private key to encrypt data and use a public key to be able to decrypt it [17:05] * CopyWriter scratches his head, trying to figure out how to ask bestbot [17:05] candrea, I have not. what is that/ [17:05] yanick_: i think u got it wrong [17:06] yanick_: public key to encrypt and private to decrypt === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [17:06] mouse and keyboard hangs during installation of ubuntu 10.04 .what to do ? [17:06] Friar: it's a tool that you can access from Applications→Accessories [17:06] ajsie, something like that [17:06] read it in wiki =) [17:06] Hi! Can I install Ubuntu 32bit on the notebook with the i3-330M processor ( http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=47663 ) ? [17:06] yes figured iti out [17:06] Intnz, use a different keyboard :) [17:06] yanick_: ive got 2 files: id_rsa id_rsa.pub [17:06] Does anyone here have any experience with the nvidia-drivers. I'm suspecting those for causing my system to hang... [17:06] lukaszg, sure [17:06] so the first one is private and the second one is public? [17:06] seveas-train :and mouse? [17:06] yes [17:06] Friar: if you have more users on your computer, tell it to scan the entire filesystem [17:06] ajsie: thats right [17:06] !anyone | misha [17:06] misha: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:06] hans_: okay [17:06] bazhang, thanks! :) [17:06] Friar: it will show you which files/folders occupy more space [17:06] lukaszg: yes, also you can use the amd64 version [17:07] lukaszg, how much ram [17:07] bazhang, 4GB === arvind__ is now known as arvind_khadri [17:07] candrea, I've never tried it. I'm looking right now...do kernels take up a big portion of the disk? can I remove old ones? [17:07] :) Is the nvidia-driver unstable? === acarr_ is now known as acarr [17:07] lukaszg, then install the linux-generic-pae package to get all 4GB in use [17:07] misha: not in lucid [17:07] iceroot, , i do not like amd ;) === maco2 is now known as maco [17:07] mine works in Lucid at this time [17:08] Heya!

Please advise! :) [17:08] Friar: you can safely remove old kernels (if you are sure that the new one works OK), but it won't save much space [17:08] lukaszg: amd64 has nothing to do with amd cpus, its also for intel cpus [17:08] hi, I've just upgraded from karmic to lucid lynx on an asus a6000KM laptop. I've managed to get the wifi up, and seemingly everything works fine. I just can't reboot if I stop the system. [17:08] gnomefreak: And it works?Did you install it manually, or was it the one that installed automagically? [17:08] bestbot is a repository of wisdom [17:08] always keep 2 kenrels around [17:08] :) [17:08] bazhang, the notebook is here: http://www.samsung.com/pl/consumer/pc-peripherals-prtinters/ultra-mobile-pc/r-series/NP-R580-JS0APL/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification [17:09] misha: i used jockey-gtk (also know in the menus as hardware drivers [17:09] gnomefreak: Which version do you have? [17:09] later guys [17:09] hello, I want to find out an IP from a computer name, I've used nslookup but it's not working since my DNS server isn't telling me the IP, how else can I do it? or do I have to setup my own DNS somewhere? [17:09] candrea, I am pretty sure...I just updated to 2.6.33 for the TRIM support. I have a file that is 1GB called bootchart. It is in /var/log and it says there are 382 items in it.... [17:09] what means if when I run gparted I got the message "can't have overllaping partitions"? [17:09] misha: nvidia-current: Installed: 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04 [17:09] normally, the ping command will resolve an ip address from a domain name. [17:09] milko, that you're trying to make 2 partitions occupy the same space [17:09] tatofoo: fyi [17:09] anyone have any experience with a good bluetooth manager for tethering to an iphone for kde 3.x? [17:10] tatofoo: do you mean a domain name? Like get the ip for google.com? [17:10] gnomefreak: Yeah, same as me :( I'm just fumbling around in the dark with this system of mine. === em is now known as emma [17:10] tatofoo: you can use ping [17:10] tatofoo: normally, the ping command will resolve an ip address from a domain name. [17:10] if I do 'ping COMPUTER01' it's telling me 'ping: unknown host COMPUTER01' [17:10] bazhang, so, do you think that ubuntu 32bit will be works fine on it? [17:10] and we are on the same network [17:11] candrea, my disk usage also says that I only have 14GB on /. So I am clearly missing something...cause my df command gives this for sda: 25540128 2424776 92% [17:11] Friar: mh, bootchart file should be an image containing some information about the boot [17:11] tatofoo: is the name you are trying to resolve from one of your own domains? [17:11] lukaszg, of course, just install the pae package I mentioned [17:11] Seveas, my problem is when I want to install ubuntu [17:11] Friar: if you don't know what bootchart is, you can safely remove this file and the 'bootchart' package [17:11] how do run adobe air apps? (adobe air 2 is installed) [17:12] tatofoo: what do you need the ip for? [17:12] bazhang, ok, thanks you very much [17:12] lukaszg, welcome [17:12] sipior: yah, I looked up in /etc/resolv.conf and they both have the same domain [17:12] tatofoo: If you are trying to ping a system on your own network with a computer name of "computer01" you will either need a hosts entry in your /etc/hosts file or the ip address / mac address to contact the device.... [17:12] New user, installing ubuntu on my notebook and I am unsure on how to partition it, 250gig. 2 gig swap, 40Mbyte boot, how big should I make root and home with the remaining 248ish Gigs? [17:12] candrea, I remember doing something about it when I first got my SSD to see the boot time. It seems like every boot has saved a file though. [17:12] Friar: can you please give me the usage of /, given by "df -h"? [17:12] Sevas_afk, with the live cd the partitions are showed with nautilus [17:13] but these are not recognized by the installer [17:13] Nasder, boot should be a bit bigger, at least 100MB, although I use 250MB [17:13] hello, stupid question but probably easy to answer - could i run a 64 bit ubuntu vm within a 32 bit ubuntu host OS? [17:13] aj00200: I want to administer remotly some computers and they have their IP dynamically assigned, changing it to static is not an option :( [17:13] * jwheare_local sdflj [17:13] tatofoo: Try getting DynDNS. [17:13] acarr: MAC address :O! can I specify it in /etc/hosts instead of the IP? [17:13] bazhang, I'll correct that then, should I split root and /home 50/50? [17:14] how to check what wifi drivers are loaded to my system ? [17:14] Nasder, 20-30GB for root, then the rest for a separate home partition [17:14] candrea, I may have just screwed things up....I did sudo apt-get remove bootchart....I dont know what my command line is doing now. [17:14] Friar: yes, for this reason bootchart eats a lot of space -- if you no longer need it remove both the packages and the files in /var/log/bootchart [17:14] <_BEAST> microsoft: ? [17:14] Nasder, way too large, even if you install the entire repo [17:14] tatofoo: If they're behind a NAT, you'll need to setup port forwarding. === maku_ is now known as maku [17:14] tatofoo: Ummm. You might want to look at using nmap to scan your entire network and get their names, but I forget the option to do that [17:14] hello people! [17:15] !hi | thelearner [17:15] thelearner: Hi!

[17:15] bazhang, thanks! [17:15] zd1211 [17:15] tatofoo: Do you have the mac address of the machine you are trying to reach? [17:15] !ask | milko [17:15] milko: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:15] microsoft, could you paste.ubuntu.com the output of lspci and ifconfig please? [17:16] tatofoo: also, is the machine on the same subnet as the machine you are trying to reach it from, or, do you have a static route setup if it is not? [17:16] acarr: yes, I use it already for wake on LAN, can I get the IP from it? [17:16] I don't know why, but when I want to install ubuntu 10.4, the partitions are not recognized... but the partitiones are showed in nautillus [17:16] Hey guys, how do I find out the host address of my printer? [17:16] acarr: same subnet [17:16] candrea, too late....I removed the bootchart folder and contents and it used up the buffer on my terminal. [17:16] tatofoo: dhcp? [17:16] tatofoo: or static ips [17:16] candrea, well, here's to hoping that I can still boot next time I start my computer. [17:16] tmos: is this a network printer? [17:16] acarr: dhcp, static is not an option [17:16] Yes aj [17:17] tatofoo: what is the ip of the machine you are on? [17:17] i cant give u my ifconfig cuz there is to much private info [17:17] So it's good when set as, 200Mbyte root, 2 Gbyte swap, 20Gig Root and the rest (225ish Gig) for /home [17:17] microsoft, just tell me if it shows wlan0 or the like then [17:17] yes it show wlan0 [17:17] milko, just try this it is not guranteed solution bu try it go to gparted from ubuntu livecd and make a partition blank on which you want to install ubuntu and then try installing it [17:17] tmos: let me see if I can find how to do this. I did something similar recently [17:17] acarr: 10.0.18.82 and the other is 10.0.18.78 [17:17] well candrea, thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I have to get dinner ready. [17:17] microsoft, and pastebin lspci please [17:17] I have a USB Multitech ZBA modem that doesn't get properly probed under a clean Ubuntu 10.04. In Arch Linux, it works, and this is the output: http://codepad.org/aHa6gbH1 What should I do to get it to work? [17:18] Ok aj thanks [17:18] tatofoo: but you dont know the ip of "computer01" === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin [17:18] how can I fix the problem "can't have overllaping partitions" with gparted? [17:18] bazhang: /boot 100M / 20G /swap 2g the rest for /home [17:18] vicpeng, this is Nasder ? [17:19] but i can do for example modprobe rt2870sta and i know device rt2870 is no connected but the driver is loaded but how to check that this driver is loaded or get list of lodad drivers cuz for example why i type lsmod it show me connected devices and the drivers those devices use at the moment [17:19] bazhang, I reckon he pinpointed it to you as I just threw it out there. [17:19] tmos: Is this printer already setup for printer sharing with a windows network? [17:19] acarr: right now I know because I looked at it, but let's say, I shut them down and power them tomorrow (asumming there is not only one machine but 50 now) I won't know the IP of all of them, so that's why I was asking the NAME -> IP thing [17:19] Nasder, okay you saw he said about the same then [17:19] but that doesnt mean that this are all loaded drivers [17:19] there maybe more loaded but not in use [17:19] Yes it is working with Windows 7 on my other box [17:20] Any thoughts about the USB modem? [17:20] hi, I've reinstall grub using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 point 13. At startup it reports "Error: file not found", but it still manages to boot. How can I make sure that grub will work for sure? [17:21] tmos: then you should eiter be able to get the hostname from there, or use the "Windows Printer via SAMBA" option in the printer setup page. You might need to install samba first "sudo apt-get install samba" [17:21] !samba | tmos [17:21] tmos: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[17:31] Hello, I just installed ubuntu and seems to freeze randomly. Even when not logging in and using a terminal (but with gdm running). I don't see grub at the beggining. Freezes really quick without giving time to do much. I got freezes on the installer as well, but in the end I was able to install ubuntu by trying several times. I use ubuntu gnome am64 the new stable one. Thanks === dennisdegreef is now known as DJF6 [17:31] By terminal I mean tty1 or tty2 and so on... [17:32] Nikie: I think bazhang is not online. What was your question? The output shows you got an ip address on your wireless interface.. [17:32] Does anyone have access to the font for Ubuntu's Logo? Any link to download? Geez... it's easier to compile the kernel than to have access to this font... === oCean__ is now known as oCean_ [17:32] Hey all, when installing openoffice I keep getting an error of "short read in buffer_copy" in an OO debian package. [17:32] ocean, oops ! thank you for the update, herez the recap...;) [17:32] toter: That's because there is no font. IIRC, it's just a custom logo [17:33] ocean, Initially when i installed ubuntu 10.04 on virtual Machine, it was able to detect the wireless network and got connected to it automatically...However, when i've installed ubuntu as a dual OS, it has detected the wireless network but is not getting connected. [17:33] I've set up an samba share, and added a directory to share. The directory also includes 2 hard drives that is running on a another computer that I've mounted. The problem is that when I try to create a folder och upload a file from my computer, I get a message "no permissions" but when I am in putty and dir into the directory, I am allowed to create a folder and so on. [17:33] Some_Person: http://design.canonical.com/2010/07/the-ubuntu-font/ [17:33] There is a font [17:33] and it's new [17:33] and it's impossible to get [17:34] Nikie: but the dhclient command seems to have connected! [17:34] flixil: you have sufficient hardware required by ubuntu version you are installing [17:34] Does anyone have a console music player besides music on console (MOC) they recommend? It appears the MOC for meerkat in lubuntu is broken. [17:34] ocean, he asked me to run the commands and give him the output [17:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/479464/ [17:34] That's the output...

[17:35] xangua: package is "mpd" (is in apt-get install mpd?) [17:35] toter: the Ubuntu font is currently in beta, and only Ubuntu Members can access it, sorry [17:35] ya..true..earlier when i was using encrypted connection, it was not getting connected...he asked me to use unencrypted connection..so, i had disabled the password encryption..n u can see the dhclient connected [17:35] Nikie: ok, the output frm the dhclient command gave you an actual ip-address on wlan0. If you would do a 'ifconfig wlan0' at this point, it should show that there is an ipaddress. Can you connect to internet(sites) now? [17:35] xangua: iflema: do you recommend these over MOC in general also, or because my particular install is crapping out ;-) ? [17:35] I just dont get why I cant do it when i am using my own computer, literally speaking I am using the same user? because I log into the share with the ubuntu username and password? [17:36] bobo123, aj00200: I understand that all our time here is a donation to the community, and I respect that, but I am an active supporter of the community too [17:36] ya..without password encryption.. [17:36] R\Peaceman: when you try to write over the samba mount, are you logging in? is it prompting you for username/password, or did you set the default permissions so that anyone can write to it? [17:36] candrea: it's just a font... I don't understand the difficulty in trying to get it... [17:36] I don't have even time to install ssh-server or stop gdm using the console. Is there a way to start without X if there is no grub? [17:36] The system is a fresh instalation [17:36] econdudeawesome your install is not supported here ;) [17:36] toter: deal with it until it is publicly available. [17:36] econdudeawesome: well mpd has terminal and gui inferfaces [17:36] nobody has a freaking website so I can download this font? [17:36] toter: Seems odd that they would release it as a closed beta. I thought ubuntu was all about open-ness [17:36] I've tried both, to mount a windows share and put in the login information and i've tried without logging in, nothing is working [17:36] however, when i'm encrypting, I'm not able to connect..( to restrain others 2 us my network i protected with password) [17:37] Nikie: indeed. What could help (not sure if you already tried) is go to menu System > Preferences > Network Connections and remove the current wireless setup and then add it again [17:37] toter: wait until maverick relelase [17:37] iflema: I know ;-) Just looking for some advice.

I wish the games started in at least 800x600 by default and had a setting for it in it settings screen though :-) [17:39] flixil: one year doesn't matter [17:39] Cryophil1: yeah... thank you... but that's not the NEW font [17:39] just check the speifications [17:39] toter: yeah, but becoming a member requires extensive "proof/documentation" on your contributions to ubuntu (-community) [17:40] hiku [17:40] toter: well, I actually don't know why it's not available to everyone... probably on #ayatana you'll get more answers [17:40] !pastebin > R\Peaceman [17:40] R\Peaceman, please see my private message [17:40] oCean_: isn't part of that "proof" logged for #ubuntu =).

[17:47] BrixSat: then rc.local is the right place (like guest__ suggested) [17:47] Synthead: ohh... I don't know much about usb-modems... haven't seen any such actually but I talked with someone in australia that tried to use some usb 3G-mobilephone-modem with win98 before... I wasn't much help there either though :-/ [17:48] njain: If I recall correctly you can only execute cgi's in /usr/lib/cgi-bin by default. Maybe you want to ask in #ubuntu-server. [17:48] LibertyZero: thanks, I got that fixed. [17:49] echo _harri_ [17:49] Synthead: if noone here know perhaps you can ask at #ubuntu-beginners too. [17:49] Here, let me elaborate, I can move the mouse, but cannot click. I can change workspaces, but can't alt-tab to other windows in a workspace. I was able to start chatzilla and join irc using the keyboard. [17:49] there is also a menu that is stuck open [17:51] Spaztic_One: does this happen every time you switch on the computer? or does it happen when you do something special? [17:51] I was using teamviewer when it stopped responding [17:52] this is the first time it has happened [17:52] Spaztic_One: I guess perhaps some application have 'stolen' your mouse and are not releasing it... what happens if you remove the mouse and insert it in the computer again after som seconds? [17:52] Its hard to remove a touchpad >.> [17:52] ah.... [17:53] Might add, I am using a laptop and Ubuntu 10.04 [17:53] The right ctrl key doesn't release the mouse? [17:53] Spaztic_One: is teamviewer still running? [17:53] Coincidentally, I do have a mouse hooked up and tried that, and nothing changed, probably due to the fact that the touch pad never gets disconnected [17:54] candrea: yes, sort of. Its greyed out and non-responsive, with a dropdown menu that is on every workspace === zobbo_ is now known as blowers [17:54] Spaztic_One: that must be the problem [17:54] Spaztic_One: if nothing else works, you can press ctrl-alt-F1 to get a textmode console and there kill teamviewer with pkill teamviewer or ps to find the number and kill that number [17:55] Spaztic_One: do you know how to use tty? [17:55] killall blah [17:55] (and ctrl-alt-F7 to get back to graphic screen after) [17:56] do I need to use a full blown textmode console, or can I just use the terminal? [17:56] term [17:56] Spaztic_One: if you can open the terminal, you can use it [17:56] Spaztic_One: yeah normal terminal window works fine allso [17:56] Spaztic_One: just run xkill then click on the app that you want to kill [17:57] amanita_ can't click heh [17:57] YEah, short cut for it still works.

[17:59] ubuntu 10.04 .... [17:59] Spaztic_One: no problem: if you use a terminal, you don't need a tty [18:00] Spaztic_One: if you are in a terminal sudo apt-get install htop then run htop [18:00] need ? hmmm we don't need computers at all.

[18:01] So, I need to get htop to be able to list running processes to kill them? [18:01] ANY streamed video via browser [18:01] how to set smbd workgroup? [18:01] works on normal but not fullscreen [18:01] Spaztic_One no. there are several ways to list processes [18:01] pierre_: is this a new installation of ubuntu? [18:01] Spaztic_One: not necessarily, you can also just use "killall teamviewer" [18:02] reggi: didnt work on my old one either [18:02] reggi: ive had the installation for 3-4 months tho [18:02] is anyone familier with how to configure amanda for 10.04? [18:02] pierre_: which browser are you using? [18:02] hi there [18:02] firefox [18:02] Spaztic_One if you know the name of an app you want to kill just run killall or you can search for the name with things like "ps" which is already installed [18:02] What is one that lists processes because it can't find a process called teamviewer [18:03] and ps only lists two items [18:03] pierre_: do you have chromium?

[18:04] guest__: its not in the repos and i dont have the package [18:05] Spaztic_One heh. you can scroll up in the terminal too... [18:05] anyone using nx? [18:05] luist then find the package and go from there. [18:05] guest__: where can i find it? any deb package is ok? [18:05] Hi. Can someone help me? I had Ubuntu installed on my computer. I also have Windows Vista (which I hate). But today it would not let me go online. It said there was a broken link. I could not find it. I uninstalled it. I installed Download Ubuntu Desktop Edition 32 bit. And then it told me when it finished downloading to choose a program to open it up. I chose Internet Explorer. Now I can't find the [18:05] MiketheMagiCat program anywhere on the computer, or in my files. I also tried loading it on to my usb flash drive, and it didn't work. Is there a phone number to call for support for Linux products. I am a beginner and an idiot. [18:06] Hi, I have formatted my usb and then there was the permissions problem. I have used the "chown" message in terminal, but now I can't copy anything on it from another computers. How shall I give the permissions to all the computer/users? [18:06] thanks [18:06] Spaztic_One: once you have found the pid of the process (the number in the leftmost column), type "q" to exit from less [18:06] luist where... python.org ??? any .deb ok... no. use one that is compatable with your other packages (python) [18:08] hi all [18:08] I'm getting a bunch of errors .: 5: Can't open /scripts/functions [18:08] candrea, can't scroll when the mouse doesn't work, or at least I don't know how to via the keyboard [18:08] when update-grub is run from packages like linux-image [18:08] luist dpkg will warn you if there are dependancy issues. and you can take action to correct that [18:09] Spaztic_One: if you're using less, just use the arrows of the keyboard [18:09] i get the errors right after cryptsetup runs (even though I'm not using an encrypted config) [18:09] Spaztic_One page-up button or maybe shift+page-up [18:10] Spaztic_One: just put |less behind the command [18:10] s/button/key/ [18:10] Hey guys [18:10] it looks like its occuring right after cryptsetup adds the information to the initrd image about the resume device candidate(s) [18:10] Spaztic_One: or, just search for a pattern: ps axuw | grep team [18:10] I was talking about scrolling when not in |less [18:10] anyone willing to help me with something? [18:10] Spaztic_One me too [18:10] Please ask SICCO questions :) Specific, Informative, Concise, Complete, and On-Topic. This means we need a description of the problem, it's symptoms, ect ect. Without this information, we can not assist you since we can not troubleshoot a problem if we have no info regarding what it should be doing and is not. [18:10] jacob_: just ask your question in the channel please [18:11] guest__: python.org wont give me this package :P [18:11] but either way, pkill teamviewer and pkill didn't nuke the program [18:11] damn. thought i'd disabled that trigger permenantly [18:11] Spaztic_One: use "kill -9 " [18:11] My external hard drive will not connect to ubuntu, it is the only problem i seem to have, its a 500gb WD elements external HDD, any other USB devices and external hard drives seem to work except this one [18:11] luist: why would you need it? Whoever told you you need it, can't they provide the package? [18:12] HUZZAH! [18:12] Thanks guys [18:12] jacob_: what do you mean? auto mount doesnt work? or doesnt ubuntu detect it? [18:12] ubuntu seems to detect it, the auto mount does not work [18:12] algum brasileiro ?/ [18:13] !br | insigne_ [18:13] insigne_: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [18:13] oCean_: ill take a better look... i need it to build a livecd image to install meego on a virtual machine [18:13] Spaztic_One: glad to know that your problem is solved :) [18:13] Yup [18:13] jacob_: so you can mount it manually? [18:13] i beleive i have been told to try this but it didnt work [18:13] I tried installing something with dpkg and it failed... but when I use apt-get, it references the file I tried to dpkg and fails to do what I want it to do: "E: Couldn't find package openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9502_all.deb" [18:13] i was on Linux forums, i can give you the link if you wish [18:13] hi i need help [18:14] jacob_: you can see all harddrives which ubuntu found via sudo fdisk -l [18:14] rowan_: ask and someone will help if they can [18:14] In retrospect, it probably would have been easier to simply ask how to locate/identify and kill a program using the terminal only. I was about 99% sure that it was teamviewer that was causing the problem [18:15] jacob_: then try sudo mount /dev/harddrive name(something like sdc1) /add the folder where you want to mount it [18:15] jkiv: not a good idea install packages from other distros === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [18:15] Okay i will try this and report back [18:15] who broke eject ? it doesn't work when things are mounted other than /media ??? [18:16] xangua, trying to do http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1404156 on 9.04. Last step failed. Trying to back out. [18:16] guest__: it won't eject if the mount is in use, it works fine for me from manual mount points though. [18:17] i have a network drive being shared by windows network and today when i sign in i get some thing on my desktop called "drive letter"onmedion.volume and in my places it is called x-nautilus-desktop: f on medion.volume however when i go to open this network drive it opens up alot of windows with the folder manager but you can stop them with xkill. Eventually they go but i cant view any of my files or places === wazzup is now known as wiiguy [18:17] guest__: use umount instead of eject :/ [18:17] but you can't stop them* [18:17] so i should do something like this? [18:17] jacob@jacob-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda3/media [18:17] scampbell hmmm i have to use umount because eject complains about blah not being under /media ;/ [18:18] jkiv: just extract the deb and install it, make sure to first remove openoffice from repository [18:18] im getting fed up with the sound on my ubuntu, it works some days and somedays it does not [18:18] yashi- pfft yeah umount and then manually open the tray [18:18] djbeenie_: the more you use it the easeir it becomes [18:18] i have a network drive being shared by windows network and today when i sign in i get some thing on my desktop called "drive letter"onmedion.volume and in my places it is called x-nautilus-desktop: f on medion.volume however when i go to open this network drive it opens up alot of windows with the folder manager but you can't stop them with xkill. Eventually they go but i cant view any of my files or places [18:18] lol [18:19] apparently this bug was meant to be solved by the latest update [18:19] Seveas-train, ...hmm... if my memory is mostly free, then I would like to know why I just watched my hd scratch for over 2 min straight after I switched from Netbeans to Chrome ? [18:19] i checked and i have them all [18:19] guest__: Hmm, I just mounted a dvd to /mnt and ejected it. guess I'm of no use :( [18:20] any ideas guys? [18:20] xangua, doing so failed. I'm trying to revert. apt-get, for some reason, wants the location of the failed .deb. [18:20] I wish to make an empty .deb package that simply brings in other packages as dependencies. Is there a name for this so I can learn how? [18:20] I have a core 2 duo with 4GB of RAM, Netbeans ans Chrome is open, but yet simply opening a terminal takes 30 seconds. [18:20] jacob_: are you sure it is sda3? sda is the name of the hard drive the numbers behind it represend the single partitions...im just wondering because sda is my primary device (internal) [18:21] is there a way to re-start alsa, this was easy to do in gentoo. /etc/init.d/alsa restart [18:21] i have a network drive being shared by windows network and today when i sign in i get some thing on my desktop called "drive letter"onmedion.volume and in my places it is called x-nautilus-desktop: f on medion.volume however when i go to open this network drive it opens up alot of windows with the folder manager but you can't stop them with xkill. Eventually they go but i cant view any of my files or places [18:21] top is not reporting the same thing as system-monitor [18:21] it might be just sdb [18:21] yashi- yeah sda is usually the boot device [18:22] jacob_: type sudo fdisk -l it lists all devices you have [18:22] Yeah it must be /dev/sdb because its the only 500gb there [18:23] there ya go [18:23] jacob_: ok now you have to mount the device for example sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 [18:23] reggi: tried with chrome, didnt work i still get the video on my laptop instead of the TV [18:23] there has to be a folder in media called sdb1 [18:24] reggi: even tho i have the browser on the TV screen not the laptop [18:24] sdb if it's not partitioned [18:24] its not partitioned [18:24] anyone know how to restart alsa? [18:24] jacob_: you should do that before mounting it [18:24] xanga, got it. I was in the dir with the .deb... Doing a wildcard openoffice* had it thinking it was a file satisfying the wildcard. [18:25] yashi- do what before mounting it ??? [18:25] Why? and this is what i get, : jacob@jacob-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb/media/sdb mount: can't find /dev/sdb/media/sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [18:26] Help Me Please [18:26] i have a network drive being shared by windows network and today when i sign in i get some thing on my desktop called "drive letter"onmedion.volume and in my places it is called x-nautilus-desktop: f on medion.volume however when i go to open this network drive it opens up alot of windows with the folder manager but you can't stop them with xkill. Eventually they go but i cant view any of my files or places [18:26] Is there any way to fix the bug where clicks constantly go "through" the title bar you're clicking on? [18:26] heh jacob_ missing a space between device and mountpoint [18:26] jacob_: you have to put a blank between the /dev/sdb<->and the mount folder [18:26] jacob_: /dev/sdb is the device. /dev/sdb1 is the first partition on the device. You only mount partititions. [18:26] jimbo no wrong. you only mount file systems. you don't mount partitions [18:27] what do people do for scheduled backups on ubuntu - have been using the very powerful cobian on windows for the last year but i cant seem to find anything like it on windows ( GUI and scheduled and network backups ) .. thanks [18:27] Also guys I don't think it's beneficial to name mountpoints after partition names. They can change, and then things get very confusing. [18:27] guest__: fair enough [18:27] but filesystems exist on partitions [18:27] jimbo you can have a file system without a partition [18:27] i have a network drive being shared by windows network and today when i sign in i get some thing on my desktop called "drive letter"onmedion.volume and in my places it is called x-nautilus-desktop: f on medion.volume however when i go to open this network drive it opens up alot of windows with the folder manager but you can't stop them with xkill.

I can't change the LCD brightness using the fn+keys.. it shows the brightness change notification on the top right but the brightness doesn't actually change.. any ideas? [19:10] trism, ok and how do I check which one is asking to be installed ? [19:10] Slart: other than that? [19:10] DarkSector: or you could right click on the package to be update> properties and check the version differences [19:10] trism, considering even the installed one has variant [19:10] jacob: you should try search for cant mount ntfs partition or something like that. im sure you will find a solution this way [19:10] DarkSector: update manager should tell you if you click on it, in the description (version something -> something else) [19:10] Kjeldor: huh? [19:10] Slart: other than BASH..? [19:10] trism, ah ok, lemme check [19:11] Kjeldor: have a look at http://popcon.ubuntu.com , they have statistics of which packages people install.. the most common ones are probably pretty good [19:11] cool!

[19:19] i installed it, and it was working fine, today i updated the BIOS, and the keyboard/touchpad stops working in ubuntu. any ideas? [19:20] Hello. I'm trying to install Ubuntu off a USB disk. Installation seemed to have been going well, but now it's trying to retrieve some files. I'm guessing it's coming off the Internet. But it's going reallllly slow and our Internet is generally really fast. Just wondering if there is a tcpip problem, would the installer just timeout and go to the next file, or prompt with some error [19:21] seekwill: (suggestion not solution) why don't you use the full iso instead of the network iso? [19:21] can anyone help me with this: mic2 requires syslinux version >= 3.85, please update syslinux to 3.85... im using ubuntu 10.04 [19:22] seekwill, those last 3% depends on your internet speed [19:22] gsp2009: in Nautilus you can select View-> and check Show Hidden Files. The default setup of gedit keeps a previous version in filename~ [19:22] how long until 10.04.1 [19:23] hey all [19:23] thune: so in /home/username? [19:23] luist: I cannot find any mic2 package in the repository. --> Innofficial package? What is 'mic2'? [19:23] is maverick a beta or something? im assuming lucid is the latest official release? [19:24] gsp2009: it keeps the previous version in the same dir as you keep the original. [19:24] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/8aMtsszG if anyone is out there that knows how to correct this, please help me lol [19:25] thune3 ok well this may be a prob. It was saved on an external usb device, then it was unplugged by my 4 year old before unmounting cleanly... nothing on the device... :( [19:25] luist: This is the 10.04 version of Syslinux... http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/syslinux [19:25] jacob_: do you have a windows pc? check that drive from windows [19:25] KEROLiUKAS, try to not upgrade bios if not urgently. [19:25] LordDragon: yes (maybe even alpha still) and yes, lucid is latest stable [19:25] ah ok [19:26] arifovic, i know, but how do i roll back now? [19:26] LordDragon: maverick will be 10.10, due for october (hence, .10) [19:26] i don't think they offer the original bios on the website [19:26] ahhh cool :) [19:27] i only bring it up cuz it seems theres no easy way to install the latest vlc 1.1.2 in 10.04. only a much older version is available from the built in repos [19:28] KEROLiUKAS, I have experience about upgrade or downgrade bios. Sorry... [19:28] LordDragon: check if launchpad.org has a repo, also the vlc site has instructions if I remember right [19:28] KEROLiUKAS, I have no experience about upgrade or downgrade bios. Sorry... [19:28] VCoolio, all the vlc site says about latest vlc on 10.04 is "it must be manually installed" [19:29] LordDragon: There is a vlc ppa. I am using 1.1.2.1 here [19:29] VCoolio, i went to launchpad.org and into the /videolan dir and it only has packages for maverick [19:29] I have issues with apt-get returning errors when trying to setup python-gmenu, is this a known issue? I keep getting this error in a lot of places: /usr/bin/python: relocation error: /usr/bin/python: symbol __realpath_chk, version GLIBC_2.4 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference [19:29] minimec, really? i been looking for one but been unsuccessful. dont suppose u have a link? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [19:30] gsp2009: what do you mean nothing on the device? if you fsck the drive there is a very small chance that the /media/mntpoint/lost+found might still have some of the file.

Well, I tried booting off a CD but that didn't seem to work for some reason. Got a bad PBR message. But luckily I had a USB disk that I used previously for a LiveCD stuff, so I tried installing from that [19:31] thune3, thanks... I was doing that when you wrote...

[19:35] what is the fastest way to clone linux systems? I have 1 system i need to clone into 95 machines [19:35] hello all [19:35] !clone [19:35] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [19:35] no, i mean clone hard drives, not package selection [19:36] wng-: http://ignatz.brinkster.net/cimages/cheader01.jpg [19:36] wng-: dd [19:36] wng-, use dd ? [19:36] i figured dd would be slow [19:36] wng-: but in more seriousness, there's dd, which can be kinda slow and ugly, but there's also partimage, which only copies the used parts of the drive. [19:36] wng-: its not [19:36] wng-: you can fiddle with the blocksizes and it will really go fast then [19:37] wng-: clonezilla? [19:37] bye [19:37] wng-: partimage is filesystem-aware, as is, I believe, Clonezilla, so it'll only copy used blocks of the drive, rather than all the zeroes or randomness that fills the rest of the drive. [19:38] :(( [19:38] wng-: with 95 machines its probably worth looking into something more elaborate and powerful, like fai or preseeding or puppet [19:38] oh man, in trying to fix something myself, I think I've created a bigger problem :) === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [19:39] LordDragon: All the Howto's I find on the Net are referring to the 'korn ppa'...

Make sure that you specify another partition for / and that you don't format your /home. [20:36] Some_Person: No. You will have to download an iso file and put it on a USB stick You can create a boot Image on your stick [20:37] Some_Person: Yes, you can setup grub2 to boot the Ubuntu iso from your existing Ubuntu partition. [20:37] Skaja: it's really hard to tell what is happening. You should be able to start rhythmbox and plug it in, and then see it in rhythmbox.

I can get it to connect here and there, but after awile it will disconnect and then I get "Bad Password" when I try to reconnect. The only thing i can do is reboot until it works again. [20:41] Some_Person for one thing it doesn't depend on a partition table or partition... grub1 did. it's more powerful. more flexable too. [20:42] Some_Person: Also grub legacy hasn't had an upstream for over 4 years now. [20:42] Pici, do you have a guide i could look at? [20:42] sam_mule: I use the xfce4-terminal for my irssi. Like that I can configure special mouse gestures for irssi (xfce4-terminal) That is cool ;) [20:42] corpsegrindr I was having problems with the Cisco cards, I gave up and bought this Belkin USB Wireless and plugged it in and it worked right away [20:42] grub2 => lilo => grub1 imo [20:42] how can i see CURRENT cpu speed?

[20:47] Gunni, does "cat /proc/cpuinfo" help? [20:47] "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [20:47] Some_Person: That doesn't work for liveCDs, never has. [20:47] no that shows actual speed [20:47] i need CURRENT [20:48] os can control speed [20:48] brontoeee: That could mean, that a firewall blocks the connection. That could be on your computer, or even on your router, if there is one... [20:48] itsux2bu: yes, use what editor you like [20:48] ZykoticK9: why wouldnt it? [20:48] Is there a way to turn off compiz fusion when I don't want it, and then turn it back on and have all of the same things enabled? If I go under Preferences->Appearance and turn off effects, when I reenable them I need to reenable everything in the compiz manager, too. [20:48] luist, VM's don't typically see physical hardware [20:48] LorgonJortle: Install fusion-icon and run it, it puts a little icon in your notification area that you can use to toggle compiz. [20:48] remote, it records video in ogv(theora+vorbis) and apparently OpenShot dosen't want to handle such a format/codec right now (?!) ; But also I would like to be able to tweak the quality of the recording as the video are intended to be edited which mean recompressed. [20:48] Jordan_U: ??? [20:48] LorgonJortle: metacity --replace >for disabe it; compiz --replace >to enable it [20:49] ZykoticK9: not the physical hardware... the HD i set to the VM... it has a base HD and a cd driver... and im using the livecd image [20:49] Pici: Alright, I think Cairo Dock has one. Thanks also, xangua. If the icon doesn't work, I'll do that. [20:49] LunaVorax, you can control the quality of the recorded video with Cheese [20:49] Gunni, http://www.waltercedric.com/component/content/article/193-technical/1481-setting-the-cpu-speed-of-your-linux-server.html === CGUser919 is now known as Hzk [20:50] can i use that to SEE the speed?

[20:51] LunaVorax, not specifically but it can record from a webcam to a file [20:51] Eqlzer: there isnt a best anything in ubuntu [20:52] Eqlzer: or for that matter, in life [20:52] !best | Eqlzer [20:52] LunaVorax, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [20:52] Eqlzer: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:52] what is ~/ in ~/.xinitrc ? [20:52] itsux2bu, ~ is shortcut to homedirectory [20:52] itsux2bu: /home/you/ [20:52] Eqlzer: there are numerous twitter apps, none are best. Just like there is no best web browser [20:53] Jordan_U: lol, but anyway, I'm just saying that with grub1, you can dd the partition's bootloader and feed that file to the windows bootloader to load grub. It doesn't work with grub2. And I didn't mention live CDs at all [20:53] itsux2bu, try "cd ~" (but "cd" by itself is faster in that particular case) [20:53] when i did nano ~/.xinitrc it said new file [20:53] newbie to ubuntu [20:53] need help on getting around with the basic commands [20:53] Is there an open-source equivalent of Photoshop? [20:53] specialbats: gimp [20:53] specialbats: gimpshop [20:53] Is it free of charge? [20:53] itsux2bu, .xinitrc isn't there by default - and won't be used by GDM btw, you'd need to use startx for that file to work i believe (i could be wrong) [20:53] specialbats: yes [20:54] And is there a version of it compatible with a Macintosh OS? [20:54] Some_Person: You can do that with grub2 also, I never said otherwise (though there is a more reliable way to do it, which wubi uses). [20:54] (this is for my mother who is trying to avoid buying Adobe Photoshop for her Mac.) [20:54] On a fresh ubuntu install a lot of standard sysadmin tools are missing. Please help me with suggestions: nmap htop traceroute whois build-essentials sysstat vim-nox [20:54] Jordan_U: How do you do it with GRUB 2? My attempts have failed every time [20:55] answered my own question. :3 [20:55] specialbats: I think it is possible, but i'm not sure how. You should check out their website http://www.gimp.org [20:55] well have u attempted using wine [20:55] jimbo: just install them from the repos [20:55] very good application sure for photoshop i guess [20:56] in irssi, when i uit and open again I have to change my nickname because someone else has the name. Can i save this change. [20:56] ActionParsnip: of course. I am just trying to compile a list. I'm making metapackages for all the machines I have to admin. [20:56] specialbats: if your cpu isn't great your gonna have to settle for gimp, or dual boot [20:56] hi - i cont setup my hotmail email on evolution [20:56] http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17629/gimpshop If anyone asks you again, here's a link to the download. :> [20:56] specialbats: its a very very good alternative, people whos use is terribly ingrained with adobe tools wil say it sucks, when its actually vey able [20:57] For whatever reason, I cannot get through a full ubuntu 10.4 install without it crashing at the end. And then ubuntu works but crashes periodically. Has anyone else had / heard of this problem? [20:57] sam_mule: try /save [20:57] ActionParsnip: so I have server-base, workstation-base, laptop-base, etc metapackages for each deployment. It's annoying everytime I hop on a machine I need to support and there's no traceroute or whatever. Trying to standardize that. [20:57] jimbo: cool, i'd throw in ssh too [20:57] Some_Person: I don't know the details but you can look into how wubi does it. grub2 contains code specifically to allow it to reliably be loaded from ntldr. The other option, installing grub to a partition is generally not recommended as it requires blocklists which are unreliable (but that shouldn't be a problem for a one time solution). [20:57] hi - i cont setup my hotmail email on evolution any help [20:57] ok thanks remote [20:57] Jordan_U: I'm using winload (Vista/7 loader), not ntldr [20:57] jimbo: I have a setup script which guts the OS then installs a lot of stuff I need [20:57] ActionParsnip: mind sharing? [20:57] Okay. I'm sure there's a tutorial and other references my mother can use, yes? [20:57] Some_Person: It's the same protocall. [20:58] according to 'abyss web server' docs, one has to be sudo to open port 80, how does apache, lighttpd and others handle that? seems weird to run web server as root... [20:58] ActionParsnip: I'm looking to do some gutting myself.

[21:44] Oer seems to put the first segments in the play list, play those (with rough joins) and then stop, whereas it should continue new segments === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:45] i am using ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition on my asus eee pc 900a, and there are "No network devices available" [21:45] minimec: it should, I compleltey forgot about that [21:45] Cockroach, it is not open source i presume [21:46] hi, don't know if this is the place tio ask this, have really little time: I'm using running ubuntu and yakuake. When I hit "tab" to autocomplete it won't work. It just makes a space... like in notepad. How to fix? [21:46] the previous netbook version of ubuntu worked with my wireless card flawlessly, but it is not anymore [21:46] i am using ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition on my asus eee pc 900a, and there are "No network devices available" [21:46] sifter: do you have a usb cdrom drive? [21:46] i used the usb live option to install [21:47] sifter: did you use a USB or CD? [21:47] usb [21:47] ok [21:47] try going into software sources [21:48] and enableing the CD, then update your packages [21:49] just check the box and click "revert"? [21:49] Well thanks for all the help, guys :) [21:49] do click revert [21:49] just close it [21:50] oh no, i've forgotten my password. how can i log in? === shark is now known as Guest83491 [21:51] "You need a working internet connection to continue" [21:52] Cockroach, you can gain access to your /etc/passwd file, remove an x from behind the name, log in with no password, and change it. [21:52] "W: Failed to fetch . . . ." [21:52] Or, if you have the root account set up, just log in to that and change the password from this point [21:53] Cockroach_: boot to root recovery console and run: passwd foo where foo is your login name [21:53] sifter then you need to disable any other sources [21:53] apn: not necessary to edit files and potentially screw logins [21:54] other then the CD [21:54] hello [21:54] Cockroach_: you can then reboot with: shutdown -r now and log on, with the password you set [21:54] sanguisdex: no cd necessary. single user mode works fine. [21:54] funny thing - the touchpad on my laptop somehow has managed to disable itself under ubuntu and I can't turn it back on again [21:54] if im grepping a file for test. why does it show me lines that has test in without the dot ? [21:54] how do i get into recovery mode [21:54] as it doesnt match ? [21:55] ActionParsnip: I've never expected Linux to be so touchy. Standard ways are better than unknown scripts / solutions. Obscurity is the key of stability. [21:55] Cockroach_: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then scroll down with cursor to the root option [21:55] apn: if theres a simpler way then use it is all I can say, allowing the system to modify its own files is a safer option for Linux virgins [21:55] i swear i press esc to get to grub normally (this is a vm) [21:56] Cockroach_: lucid uses grub2 which uses shift [21:57] you know, just as i did it, i think i remembered my pw, but its too late now [21:57] Cockroach_: if you havent ran the passwd command, you can simply reboot and retry [21:58] i had, but i've rebooted and the login keyring isn't working with what i thought it was. how do i fix this\? === tim_ is now known as Traedre [21:59] Cockroach_: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/01/16/reset-gnome-keyring-password-on-ubuntu/ [21:59] Hi [21:59] apn: but if he can't get his netbook online then he can see if the drivers are on the CD [22:00] cheers [22:00] when I open a video in the movie player, it reuses the open movie window without asking me. Is there a way to have it open a new instance? [22:00] how do I get to the login manager? [22:00] apn: if they are then he can make a custom PPA line for the USB drive and install from there [22:01] sanguisdex there are still no network devices available [22:01] ActionParsnip: i was worried until i read that "reset" means "delete and start over, you loose all keys stored by keyring". [22:01] sifter: try rebooting [22:01] lov255 logout [22:02] thune3: thats the only way I know too [22:02] rebooting sanguisdex, you said to "update packages" after doing the stuff in software sources, is there another place i need to go to do that? [22:02] anyone know how to get to the longin manager? === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [22:03] lov255: can you expand on that please [22:03] ActionParsnip: it's the way it should be, when I saw your link I was worried that there was some easy way to unlock the keyring. [22:03] still no network devices available [22:03] sifter: you were not prompted to relaoed the packages? [22:03] i was [22:03] and it loaded 6/6 [22:03] ok [22:04] and you rebooted? [22:04] yes [22:04] lov255, what do you mean by the loggin manager" [22:04] I am reading a not so well written book on Ubuntu - it is talking about "login Manager - System Settings" menu [22:04] sifter: then I am sorry but I cnat help you as the drivers for your NIC are not in the CD [22:04] hello. looking for advice on a stable parallel desktop envioronment to run within 10.04 so that I can practice my rosetta stone language sessions. any suggestions on FREE ones? [22:05] lov255, it may be talking abt an older version? [22:05] possibly better known as a Display manager? [22:05] i will have to manually install the driver? [22:05] No the book is on 10.04 [22:05] hey does anyone have experience with using libvirt and kvm in ubuntu? I'm trying to load up an existing qcow image and use bridged networking [22:06] lov255, gnome-session-save --logout [22:06] it is poorly written - dose not tell you where to go or commands to use to get to where it is talking about - it says that this is found when you type in gdmsetup [22:06] sifter: I would guess that you should do a search for 'ubuntu 10.04 NETBOOK MODLE "ERROR TEXT"' [22:06] lov255, display manager? absolutely no idea. maybe window manager? [22:06] Says that you should be able to change thge Aperance, font, background, shutdown, uders and convnience [22:06] I am sure you are no the first to encounter that error [22:07] http://pastebin.com/4k5nvtUR <-- anybody can help me with this? (package system broken) [22:07] lov255 gdm = gnome desktop manager [22:07] awww how do I get to gdm? [22:08] aafuentes, Just off the top of my head. sudo aptitude install -f [22:08] lov255: it would probably be easier if you explained what you are trying to accomplish, and then someone may be able to help with that. System->Administartion->Login Screen launches gdmsetup, but it doesn't do much. [22:08] thanks, sanguisdex [22:08] lov255 , it's called Preferences [22:08] display manager [22:08] lov255, gdmsetup has features gutted on new GDM [22:08] hi [22:08] aafuentes, That command attempts to fix all broken packages. Be sure to read what it wants to do and think about it before hitting yes blindly! :) [22:08] any bacula users in here? [22:09] edbian, "sudo apt-get -f install" [22:09] edbian, sorry ;) [22:09] ZykoticK9, Why not aptitude ?? [22:09] edbian, same difference [22:09] aafuentes, sudo aptitude -f install [22:09] ZykoticK9, Thanks [22:10] when installing the base system, i need to configure dual display resolutions using a GUI app. what ist he proper app to install to manage intel multi-monitor settings [22:10] i have an external hard drive that will not mount onto ubuntu, i must have tried everything by now and i dont know what else to do, if anyone has any ideas please tell me [22:11] jacob_, Does your external show up in the output of sudo fdisk -l [22:11] jacob_, with the drive plugged in could you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [22:11] ZykoticK9, Hey don't copy me! [22:11] edbian --> new output... same error :S http://pastebin.com/wUXtz6v0 [22:11] yes it does and ill just do that for you [22:12] aafuentes, Did you try removing it? [22:12] edbian, yep [22:12] with aptitude, apt-get and dpkg [22:12] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/g3uzZ1RX Here you go guys [22:13] My External HDD is sdb1 [22:14] I was trying to launch a tomboy note from crontob in root [22:14] I used gnome-scheduler and set it as an x-application [22:14] and I got this output in terminal [22:15] edbian, any Other guess from the top of your head? is it my package system broken forever? [22:15] jaykub: What is the output of "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/"? [22:15] aafuentes, Where did this package come from? A special repo or something? [22:15] ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkWindow) [22:15] ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible) [22:15] ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject) [22:15] edbian sourforge navalplan [22:15] WXZ: use: sudo crontab -e to cron as root [22:15] sourceforge* [22:16] ActionParsnip: I basically did [22:16] just getting it for you Jordan_U [22:16] I just used gnome-schedule with sudo, which is just a graphical view of cron tab [22:16] WXZ: so do you get those messages when the job comes to running? [22:16] when I started it [22:16] Jordan_U http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/7P4ged5q [22:17] WXZ: you should use gnome-schedule with gksudo, not sudo [22:17] WXZ: so you get the errors when you started the gnome-schedule app?? [22:17] aafuentes, I think that package is written poorly. I'm not sure how to remove it though :( What command did you run to install it in the first place? dpkg? Did you download a .deb ?? [22:17] I get "messages" [22:17] ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkWindow) [22:17] how to install .bin files?? [22:17] like that [22:18] WXZ: yes but WHEN do they occur?? 1. When the cron'd job runs, or 2. When you run gnome-schedule to setup the cron? [22:18] AbuBadr, typically you shouldn't. but make the file executable by using "chmod +x $FILENAME" then run with "./$FILENAME" [22:18] when I run gnome-schedule [22:18] edbian, i tried dpkg -i package.deb ... then unmet dependencies, so i run apt-get install -f... then this nightmare began :( [22:18] jacob_: Any of the hints seem relevant? Can you use this drive/partition with windows? [22:18] AbuBadr: mark it as executable then run itin a terminal or double click it [22:18] anyone able to assist me in shrinking my ntfs file system? (its been declared bigger then the device but ntfsresize wont touch it for some reason) [22:18] aafuentes, Can you sudo apt-get purge package ?? [22:19] WXZ: ok then use the command I gave and you wont get that as it uses a terminal based interface [22:19] I also do get an output each time a cronjob is run [22:19] edbian, nop :( [22:19] Bisa: is the ntfs system a bootable win7 / vista partition?? [22:19] well, I don't really care about the errors ActionParsnip [22:19] aafuentes, I'm not sure then. Sorry! :( [22:19] Hi. [22:19] gee... :( [22:19] because they don't stop me from creating a new cronjob [22:20] Bisa: When shrinking a filesystem with ntfsresize you need to resize first, then change the partition table. Not the other way around. [22:20] thanks anyway edbian [22:20] WXZ: ok so where's the issue? [22:20] aafuentes, Good luck! [22:20] this is just my problem from the morning, I can't get crontab to run "tomboy --open-note x" [22:20] I was just wondering if those messages relate [22:20] No, its just my storage disk which I tried to get over here when swaping to linux after 16 years of windows :p (how do I add names without having to spell them) [22:20] I've tried cron -e, with display=::0.0 and without it [22:20] Jorden_U i am back sorry internet went abit funny [22:20] I've tried using the full path of tomboy [22:21] I have a question. I'm installing ubuntu on my ext HD to boot from it, and I created a partition for the install, but it doesn't show up on the install list. Any tips? [22:21] WXZ: possibly, not sure. I don't really cron X based jobs, is there a switch it needs? [22:21] well someone told me when I create the job in gnome-schedule [22:21] Bisa, type 3 letters and then Tab [22:21] how would i I find the Xth oldest file in a directory [22:21] I should set it to "x-application" [22:21] WXZ: cheers [22:22] bye bisa :s [22:22] I just made a new partition for my home directory and copied everything over to it. Now, I cant start my system. On Ubuntu, it gives me some error message about permissions on the home folder and encryption and then it goes to a blank desktop that has absolutely nothing on it but wallpaper. On Lubuntu, I have only 2 options in my menu, run and logout, and in My documents there are two files, one says "My private desktop" and the othe [22:22] r is a README file. Could anyone help? [22:22] what? [22:22] doesn't cheers mean bye? === timmillwood_ is now known as timmillwood [22:23] WXZ: oh, not according to me :p I meant it as "thank you with a happy smile" :p [22:23] I don't believe I helped you though, lol [22:23] thanks edbian, i can't reinstall now :( i am in a very busy month [22:23] ubbuntu: boot to livecd and chown the data to foo:foo replace foo with your username [22:24] WXZ: u did, without you Id never have figured to use Tab :) [22:24] ActionParsnip, what? [22:24] aafuentes, I don't think you'll have to re-install. [22:24] Heya [22:24] So I want to talk to a /dev entry that is basically a serial port. [22:24] oh [22:24] ubbuntu: if you don't have permissions, the data may need chowning to your user so you DO have access. You can do this in root recovery mode [22:24] Whats the deal with 10.04.1 point release? I read it was behind schedule and was going to be scheduled for today. This true? [22:25] well yw then [22:25] aafuentes, Ask the channel in a different manner. "Why can't I remove a package from my system?" [22:25] LinuxGuy2009: yes [22:25] ActionParsnip, i dont know how to do that [22:25] Technically speaking, it's a USB masquerading as an RS232 port. How do I talk to that entry to say set the baud and all that? [22:25] ikonia: Ok thanks [22:25] is there a good serial terminal emulator available on Ubuntu? [22:25] ubbuntu: boot to root recovery mode and run: cd /home; sudo chown -R foo:foo ./foo replace foo with your usual username [22:26] ActionParsnip, that's it? [22:26] ubbuntu: yes, this wil ensure all the data is owned by the right user [22:26] I am using 10.04, I would like to set a pause when loging in so that if someoen types in the wrong PW they have to wait like a min === RickRoss_ is now known as Rick_Ross [22:26] any way, back to my ntfsresize problem, I'm not trying to change the partition, I want to shrink the file system as it is currently larger thent he partition (or should I indeed shrink the partition first then change the size of the file system?) === Rick_Ross is now known as Rick__Ross [22:26] Anyone wish to help me with my External HDD not mounting, even a forced mount and it wont. [22:27] ActionParsnip, ubbuntu , I believe the Control+Alt+t to launch a terminal then in the terminal type: "chown -R (username):(username) /home/(username)" with replacing all occurances of "(username)" with your username. [22:27] edbian, ill try... [22:27] lov255, a delay feature is already built into GDM i believe, after 3 attempts I believe it starts increasing wait time [22:27] hello ubuntu channel! why can i remove a package from my system? [22:27] cant* [22:27] thanks [22:28] svm_invictvs-: http://pastebin.com/ke1A2Rer [22:28] ActionParsnip, ubbuntu , ActionParsnip is that correct? [22:28] svm_invictvs-: plug the usb device and check with 'dmesg' in a console, if the device is recognized. It should be someting like ttyS0 [22:28] headkase314: if the user can launch a terminal, sure why not [22:28] LinuxGuy2009: "any day now" is my understanding: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-10.04.1 [22:28] ActionParsnip, thank you. [22:28] jacob__: absolutely. what is the file system on your HDD, and what errors are you receiving? [22:28] jacob__: Any of the hints seem relevant? Can you use this drive/partition with windows? [22:28] ActionParsnip, headkase314 i cant launch a terminal [22:29] svm_invictvs-: minicom [22:29] aafuentes: are you using sudo? [22:29] thune3, 10.04.1 is already out. use "lsb_release -a" [22:29] aafuentes, you can search & remove any package you like in synaptic [22:29] svm_invictvs-: minicom [22:29] ubbuntu: then boot to root recovery mode and do it there [22:29] thune3, it was released early actually (i see LinuxGuy2009 is already gone) [22:30] ZykoticK9: I just checked and dont see a point release for download. [22:30] ubbuntu, does Control+Alt+F1 give you a login screen? WARNING Control+Alt+F7 is needed to return to the graphical mode. If you can get one of the "Virtual Consoles" you can login using your username to a console and then try that command. [22:30] yes i can use it with windows [22:31] also the file system is NTFS so it should mount fine [22:31] LinuxGuy2009, if you are looking for an ISO I really don't know what the deal with that is? sorry. [22:31] jacob__: tried ntfs-3g ? [22:31] minimec: Yeah, I know what dev it is. It's /dev/ttySACM0 [22:31] Anybody know how to solve graphics corruption? [22:31] jacob__ could have the same problem as I have perhaps? errounous partition table) just guessing [22:31] jacob__: Are you sure it's not a windows "dynamic disk"? [22:31] with an ATi Radeon x1270. [22:31] The problem is that whenever I send data to it, the device doesn't make any sense of it. in Windows when I connect the devie the exact same set of commands actually works. [22:31] yes i am definatly sure [22:32] its a 500gb WD elements external HDD [22:32] svm_invictvs-: ok. It's nice to know that these adapters work... what manufactor is this? [22:32] jacob__: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? [22:32] minimec: Oh boy. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to day. [22:32] s/day/say [22:32] 06 [22:33] will do [22:33] hi [22:33] minimec: It's a phone. [22:33] LIYBT [22:33] Spcifically, it's running a test kit for which I have written the kernl drivers for (on the phone). [22:33] svm_invictvs-: use minicom or cutecom as terminal emulator... [22:33] Okay [22:33] ZykoticK9: i'm not sure i believe you, 10.04.1 download is nowhere to be found. [22:33] aafuentes: try 'sudo dkpg -r navalplan' [22:34] thune3, "lsb_realease -a" on your own system [22:34] Hi. I'm using ufw on Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to add rule iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP but it's gone after reboot even if I run iptables-save. What am I doing wrong? Thank you. [22:34] Jordan_U http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/yhRBDuna [22:34] Can i pipe commands through to it from within a python script? [22:34] hm. [22:34] thune3, i'm not sure about the ISO stuff [22:34] gasull: uhhh ufw and iptables are 2 different apps [22:34] Any idea [22:34] ? [22:34] ZykoticK9: the point release livecd has not dropped as far as I can tell. [22:35] aeon-ltd, I know. I wonder if ufw is messing up my iptables. [22:35] does a period (.) at the start of a file have a special meaning in linux? [22:35] itsux2bu, hidden file [22:35] .bashrc [22:35] svm_invictvs-: I guess minicom is a kind of 'SwissArmyKnife', but I cannot answer your specific question. [22:35] itsux2bu: then it's hidden [22:35] I see. [22:35] Do i need any packages installed for NTFS? [22:35] I also found setserial [22:35] ok.. [22:36] jacob__, ntfs works out of the box for me. [22:36] but i see it when i do a ls -al [22:36] jacob__: Either you copied and pasted wrong, I'm very confused, or blkid is very confused. Likely 2 and 3 :) [22:36] itsux2bu, "ls -a" = show hidden(all) files [22:36] svm_invictvs-: Setserial is only for the setup of the serial port. You don't need that I guess... [22:36] jacob__: try ntfs-3g, install, then 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/existingfolder -t ntfs-3g -o user,rw' gives us errors if any [22:36] itsux2bu: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/explain-linux-unix-dot-files/ [22:37] VCoolio: ntfs-3g is installed and used by default. [22:37] Jordan_U, jacob__ ok, still, any useful errors on that? [22:38] itsux2bu: that's what the -a thing on ls does; show hidden files [22:38] I used gnome-schedule to create a recurrent task to run everyminute which was "tomboy --open-note New Note 48", I also did it with the full path of tomboy, I also tried setting the task to x-application (full path and not full path), << did all these things in root as well.. none of them worked === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [22:38] VCoolio how do i do this? [22:38] jacob__: Ahh, it was option 4, my browser was misrendering the page (refresh fixed it). [22:38] gasull: i think you need to add rule using ufw syntax, that way when ufw rewrites your iptables it will be there. [22:38] jacob__: enter the sudo mount etc in a terminal, create a folder to mount to first (sudo mkdir /media/somefolder) [22:39] ubuntu on hp 60 ? [22:39] ahh okay Jordan_U and i have a folder to mount too and i have tried to mount it before [22:39] i have a 25" monitor. at 1920x???? it wont fill the screen after ATI driver install. can anyone lend me a hand ? perhaps catalyst control panel ? [22:39] ill copy what happens when i try to mount [22:40] VCoolio: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/7P4ged5q [22:40] WXZ: did you do DISPLAY=:0.0 command? [22:40] avis: I use the catalyst control panel to control my screen resolution [22:40] what happens when you open the catalyst control panel? [22:41] gasull: check in the actual rules file, also is the daemon started at boot? [22:41] thune3, thanks, I 'll try to rewrite it [22:41] shtower, which mode of the two icons it provides: normal or administrative? [22:41] aeon-ltd, yes, I think so [22:41] jacob__: hmm, try to check the disk for errors with a tool on windows, otherwise I don't know [22:41] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/7kA4zZaq Thats the error i get when trying to mount it [22:42] VCoolio [22:42] headkase: both are provided for me in the system > preferences menu [22:42] i have done that and it says there is none [22:42] shtower, you need to launch the "administrative" one to be able to change the resolution to another mode. [22:43] you can also access it from a console by typing amdcccle [22:43] yes, [22:43] shtower, ok continue then - next thing? [22:43] headkase: I don't know why, but you do [22:43] thune3, aeon-ltd, it seems you cannot write a DROP rule with ufw. [22:43] jacob__: it's complaining about a sector; it's not something on the ubuntu side I'd say, but I'm afraid I can't help debugging this, sorry [22:43] sorry vcoolio [22:43] I didn't see your message [22:43] yes I did do DISPLAY=:0.0 [22:43] i want to turn off screen blanking.. how do i find what file turns on screen blanking so i can comment it out.. ? [22:44] headkase, sometimes you have to reboot your computer for the changes to take affect....I found this to be the case when I downloaded the driver from the ATI website. [22:44] gasull: meh, just compromise, use iptables only [22:44] thune3, aeon-ltd, that iptables rule I'm trying avoids traffic shaping, BTW [22:44] tomboy --open-note "New Note 48" DISPLAY=:0.0 [22:44] right? [22:44] Okay =/ [22:44] itsux2bu: try - setterm -powersave off -blank 0 [22:44] i search for that? [22:45] itsux2bu: no, you run it from a shell [22:45] shtower, as installed mine will change to the new resolution and pop up a countdown-cancel window to confirm the new resolution without restarting. [22:45] WXZ: I tried gnome-schedule once, couldn't get it to work, used crontab -e ever since; it seems difficult, but isn't really; also root shouldn't be necessary [22:45] WXZ: no, DISPLAY= at the beginning [22:45] yoooooo wassaaaaap ubuntu frienss [22:45] lol [22:45] headkase...that's what happens for me too. [22:45] shtower, but when you do reboot does the new resolution "stick" or remain what you selected? [22:45] ok, I did it at the beginning too [22:45] I can get a copy paste of >chkdsk g:/f that i have run in windows earlier today if that would help [22:45] aeon-ltd, I'll do that. thanks [22:45] :D [22:45] It sticks. [22:46] the thing is, when you add a cronjob via gnome-scheduler [22:46] you see it in cron -e anyway [22:46] hiku, how i run that for every user? [22:46] anybody here knows how to fix installer display crash? [22:46] shtower, so to answer your question: that is what happens when I open the administrative mode? [22:47] DISPLAY=:0.0 tomboy --open-note "New Note 48" right vcoolio? [22:47] As in I was installing 10.04 using the normal CD and also the Alternative CD. Both died onmy monitor halfway thru the intallation, randomly, no specific time [22:47] !alternate | M5800 [22:47] M5800: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [22:47] WXZ: yes, if the tomboy part is right it's ok [22:47] It must be my machine because I installed it on my Laptop fine [22:48] itsux2bu: you can add it to "System->Prefs->Startup Applications" [22:48] headkase...that's what happens for me too. [22:48] it's right, I've tested it as a single task in scheduler [22:48] headkase...that's good then [22:48] chrissharp123? [22:48] not using a gui [22:48] shtower, do you have the Ati drivers installed from -> System > Administration > Hardware Drivers or did you install the driver from Ati's site? [22:48] installing video drivers have been tricky for me... [22:48] WXZ: last shot: what is the complete line in cron then? [22:49] doesn't work with crontab -e either [22:49] M5800: I'm suggesting that you use the alternate CD to install... [22:49] * * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 tomboy --open-note "x" [22:49] shtower, or are you using the built-in Ati drivers? [22:49] (just changed the note name, that note exists too) [22:49] chrissharp123: yeah i used the alternate CD too [22:49] headkase: I installed it from System -> Administration > hardware Drivers. [22:50] M5800: sorry - missed your second post - don't know what to suggest - sounds like it could be two bad burns or a hardware issue (possibly CD-ROM?) [22:50] what's the difference between deny and reject on the firewall 10.04? [22:50] let me ask it another was.. when i want to run a command at startup for everyone in a non-gui server, what file do i put it in? [22:50] WXZ: five start can't be right, make it for example 01 * * * * to do it every hour at HH:01 [22:50] chrissharp123: hmms im not too sure about that because Ive used the CD to install on my laptop and it works fine. tried it the day after that [22:51] five stars is every minute VCoolio [22:51] shtower, ok because I installed from Ati's site. A word of advice since I installed from Ati's site whenever an X-related update comes through "update manager" I get a broken desktop. I need to uninstall the Ati site driver from a console (make note of that command when you install!) and reinstall the Ati site driver to fix the graphical X mode. [22:51] itsux2bu: you could place it in bashrc [22:51] WXZ: really, ok, then I'm done, sorry [22:51] chrissharp123: that's why it really puzzled me... is it even possible for the machine to reject the installation? coz it's an Acer [22:51] I know, because if I replace tomboy --open-note "x" with something different like echo "hi" [22:51] it works [22:51] M5800: could be the CD-ROM drive... can you install from USB? [22:51] thx [22:51] thanks VCoolio [22:52] headkase: yeah, I went through that. [22:52] wouldn't happen to know where cron output goes though, would you? [22:52] I just a few days ago install ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite, which has a intel centrio duo inside with 1 GB ram and every now and again it freeze up, and i have to turn it off, any idea what may be causing this issue [22:52] headkase: do you know how to uninstall the driver? [22:52] chrissharp123: yeah good idea, have been thinking of that too... since you said it, I'll try it soon. But just FYI, i reformatted windows the same day too.. [22:52] shtower, since I installed the Ati site driver. However that driver has the most current updates so I don't mind doing that on the occasion. [22:52] using the same DVD drive. [22:53] what's the difference between deny and reject on the firewall 10.04? the documentation is patch, and seems to have left some words from this sentence - "The difference between deny and reject is that in the first case and ignores the second responds with a refusal." [22:53] WXZ: there is a log, somewhere in /var/log but don't know exactly [22:53] chrissharp123: yeah but I'll try the USB the next time... === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [22:53] ok, thanks [22:53] islandfellow, i had the same problem in my centrino hp dv1000 u should try a system update, taht fixed my problem [22:53] shtower, you would go to System > Administrative > Hardware Drivers again and "de-Activate" the driver. This will deactivate the current proprietary driver from Hardware Drivers and enable the built-in Ati driver. [22:54] chrissharp123: thanks btw. I'll get back here if it still wont work. I really hate it when this happens... last time my old desktop too cant install ubuntu [22:54] unbkbl: ok will try that [22:54] I just transfered my /home directory to a new partition. Now there is a completely new home folder but there is a file called "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop" and a readme that tells me to run the command ecryptfs-mount-private I run this command and it asks me for a passphrase but I don't remember what it is. What should I do? [22:54] M5800: good luck! [22:54] shtower, and a reboot in there between deactivating the old driver and rebooted into the built-in [22:54] anyone able to assist me with shrinking my ntfs file system? (ntfsresize is not working giving me http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3S6xFKTj ) [22:54] um [22:55] does anyone know what the default password for a machine created with ubuntu-vu-builder is? [22:55] !password [22:55] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [22:55] chrissharp123: haha thanks. its actually my siblings' desktop... they dont know how to take care of windows well... so i thought of letting them feel the POWER OF UBUNTU (but basically ill have to set it up first lol) [22:55] hiexpo, this isn't a password [22:55] ugg fine i'll single user mode it [22:56] but there should be a documented default [22:56] oh ok [22:56] im off, cya... soon lol [22:56] figured it out [22:56] ubuntu/ubuntu [22:56] headkase: thanks. When you say built in driver, do you mean the open source ATI driver that Ubuntu uses by default if no proprietary driver is installed? [22:56] shtower, yes - exactly. [22:57] bisa_: have you tried gparted? [22:57] can anyone help please? [22:57] chrissharp123, yes [22:57] it wont let me touch the partition/filesystem === maku is now known as maku`off [22:58] bisa_: can you explain that a little? I'm not sure I understand :-) [22:58] I just transfered my /home directory to a new partition. Now there is a completely new home folder but there is a file called "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop" and a readme that tells me to run the command ecryptfs-mount-private I run this command and it asks me for a passphrase but I don't remember what it is. What should I do? [22:58] headkase: I was using that driver for a while. I found the ATI driver performed better. [22:58] chrissharp123: well, basically Im in gparted, I try the resize/move option but it wont let me pull the handles to change anything [22:59] ubbuntu: is it asking for the root password? [22:59] shtower, no. It's asking for a *passPHRASE* [22:59] shtower, that is correct the Ati proprietary driver does have excellent performance compared to the Open-Source driver at the moment. However if you have older hardware often the Ati Open-Source driver is your only option. [23:00] headkase: I'm lucky there. My graphics card is pretty new. [23:01] shtower, I only have a 4670 but it performs fine for what I want. Pre- Radeon HD 2000 series - hardware is what must use the Open-Source Ati driver. [23:01] ubbuntu: hmmmm....does it tell you what the passphrase is for (user account, root account etc)? [23:01] is an encrypted home folder a feature of any other linux distros? [23:02] shtower, for my encrypted home folder [23:03] ubbuntu: I think it is....I had the option when installing Ubuntu Server Edition a while ago. [23:04] argggg! gedit is driving me NUTS, not being able to have tabs for one type of document, and spaces for another. NUTS [23:04] bisa_: have you seen this? it looks related http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?pid=21304#p21304 [23:05] I just transfered my /home directory to a new partition. Now there is a completely new home folder but there is a file called "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop" and a readme that tells me to run the command ecryptfs-mount-private I run this command and it asks me for a passphrase but I don't remember what it is. What should I do? [23:05] chrissharp123: lemmi check it out [23:05] hey all, I'm trying to run tcpdump for debuggin purposes on my Ubuntu LTS 10.04 server but I keep getting the following error: pcap_loop: corrupted frame on kernel ring mac offset 94 .. Anyone know why that might be? [23:05] is there "reboot" version of this? sudo shutdown -p now [23:05] oops.. -P [23:05] itsux2bu, "sudo shutdown -r now" [23:05] ok.. thx [23:06] trelayne: have you tried wireshark? [23:07] chrissharp123: yea kinda, but I couldn't really find any instructions there (google pointed me tot hat topic as well) [23:07] hiku, it's server only no X. I've tried with tshark and get a different error: tshark: cap_set_proc() fail return: Operation not permitted [23:07] bisa_: sorry - I don't know what to suggest :-) [23:07] ubbuntu: I just did a quick search, and there is no way to recover the passphrase [23:07] chrissharp123: np, thnx for trying tho :) [23:07] trelayne: did you run tshark with sudo ? [23:08] why is the share i created (right-click folder, sharing options, share folder checked) never working... what's the point if i have to edit smb.conf anyway? [23:08] hiku, yes.. but now I'm wondering if the user needs to part of a special group [23:08] ubbuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1320687 [23:08] trelayne: looks like it could be a libpcap bug...checking now [23:08] ubbuntu: it is in the keyring of the old system, but i'm not sure how that might help... [23:09] thanks hiku === pov is now known as Guest89714 [23:09] ubbuntu: maybe if you put your home folder back where it was before. [23:09] so with an alias i could make a pwroff and reboot commands? [23:09] nice. all routes to ubuntu are broken [23:10] 80% packetloss [23:10] ubbuntu: that might allow you to access your data again. [23:10] * KingOfDos kills Level3 [23:10] trelayne: what command are you running with tcpdump, I'll try to see if it happens to me here. [23:11] trelayne: also, what version of libpcap are you running? [23:11] hiku: sudo tcpdump -s0 -i eth0 -w /tmp/output [23:11] trelayne: I have 1.0.0-6 libpcap installed right now. [23:11] libpcap.so.0.8 [23:11] itsux2bu: no need to alias... "sudo halt" and "sudo reboot" already work ;-) [23:12] cool [23:12] trelayne: ok same version. I'm running it now, and so far, no errors [23:12] but i could even put the sudo in the alias [23:12] hiku, I'm wondering whether it's because my kernel does not support capture (it's a VM) [23:12] trelayne: oooo, yeah, good question. [23:13] trelayne: haven't tried running tcpdump from a vm. [23:13] hola [23:13] hiku, that's probably the problem... but thank's nonetheless.. I guess I'll have to debug other ways... thanks again! [23:14] trelayne: anytime man, and good luck [23:14] how do i restart the pulseaudio server, it seems to have died on me [23:15] reinstall it [23:15] save the music in a folder [23:15] just died for this session, i'm in the middle of a poker game so i want to avoid logging out [23:15] uggh j_a_v_i_e_r, you're way off [23:16] ¿? [23:16] where can I donwnload pine at? [23:16] ImaLamer: killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio in a console should do [23:16] what music lol [23:16] ImaLamer: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart ? [23:16] lov255: it's not pine anymore it's called "alpine" [23:17] ????

[23:20] lov255, try to configure compiz [23:20] lov255, im running dual monitor so i guess yes [23:20] ubuntu: did you backup your old /home dir? === ubuntu is now known as ubbuntu [23:20] hiku, yes [23:21] j_a_v_i_e_r: compiz has nothing to do with running more than 1 monitor. [23:21] lov255, system, preferences, monitor [23:21] no like have the enhanced the screen command so possibly I would be able to run multipul desk tops on one display - for instance one desktop would have a set of terminal windows and the next would have my firefox and instant messager up [23:21] ubbuntu: ok then just copy over your data from old home to new one. [23:21] ah, its about using an external screen? [23:22] ok [23:22] yes, find it in system,preferences and monitors [23:22] Are there any debuggers that compare to Olly in Ubuntu? [23:22] lov255: there is already a small app called "workspace switcher" that will do that for you.

I can open the Bios with the usb keyboard, but if i try to install ubuntu i can not leave the language selection because the keyboard seems not to work during booting the ubuntu cd. I didn't find an option to enable usb keyboard support in the bios. Is there anoter install cd which skips the language selection? [23:38] MmikeDOMA: is /var/log/message reporting any errors? [23:38] i think if the kernel is loaded the usb keyboard will work === randomusr is now known as Guest29483 [23:39] nsaw: how about legacy usb support in the bios? [23:39] nsaw: alt might ? [23:39] hiku: he said he couldnt find that... [23:39] hiku there seems to be nothing like this [23:40] alt might? What do you mean? [23:40] hello everyone - my previous nick was pil and I was complaining about my X window freezing from time to time - this happened again a minute ago and I got the lspci -k output it is here .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/479639/ -- could someone please look it up and tell me what was wrong with it...? [23:40] alternate install? [23:41] maybe i can give it a try [23:41] anyone know how to get into grub at boot. [23:41] i cant find beep media player x in the repo anymore... has it been removed? [23:41] need to pass form options, but I cannot figure out the key to kit to get a menu [23:41] in non-gui mode of ubuntu server, how do i find out what updates are available? [23:41] Vilemaxim: left button [23:41] nsaw: your v40z has usb support and it is in the bios. read - http://docs.sun.com/source/817-5248-21/chapter2.html#0_91113 [23:42] hiku, none. [23:42] nsaw: most new servers by default have legacy usb turned off. all mine systems were... kinda dumb I think. [23:42] minimec, hmmm.. not working [23:42] itsux2bu: sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade [23:43] hiku i didnt find the option, i am going to have a look at your link [23:43] minimec, nevermind... I starting hitting it like moris code and it worked [23:43] nsaw: yea check it out. I'll keep looking around [23:43] Vilemaxim: After the BIOS screen quicckly press and hold the left button. that should give you the grub menu. === nimbiotics_ is now known as nimbiotics [23:44] i wonder why i can run into the bios with the f2 key but not use it to install the cd. Normally if USB Support is disabled i couldn't enter the bios too... [23:44] minimec, tanks [23:44] nsaw: in the bios, go to the i/o device configuration menu. (thats from the docs). [23:44] but maybe i find the option in the list.

Or would Ubuntu revolt because I used a different machine to install the OS to the drive? [23:51] yo, I changed the workgroup name for samba in /etc/samba/smb.conf but it won't change at all. Tried restarting/stop/kill/start... no difference. any idea? [23:51] Sir_Konrad: should be ok. bigger question is. why would you want to do that in the first place. [23:51] Sir_Konrad: should be able, generic kernel, generic sw [23:51] hello everyone, i've got a problem with my newly installed ubuntu 10.04 on my comp. ... As soon as i get logged in and try to open an aplication the screen turns black, all i can see is the mouse pointer(frozen) and a frozen blinking cursor in the top left corner of the screen... i've got ati graphics...any idea anyone? please help [23:51] hiku: easier to install usually [23:52] Sir_Konrad: your config files would cause annoyances between hardware i bet [23:52] twisted`: lol custom preseed file (kickstart) even better [23:52] hiku: because if I start a computer repair business I could replace the HD and stick a new one in that was ready to go. I wouldn't have to stay at my client's location to install Ubuntu. [23:52] where is terminal located in kde?

[23:53] Trying to exit vi - :q is not working....any ideas? [23:53] hello everyone, i've got a problem with my newly installed ubuntu 10.04 on my comp. ... As soon as i get logged in and try to open an aplication the screen turns black, all i can see is the mouse pointer(frozen) and a frozen blinking cursor in the top left corner of the screen... i've got ati graphics...any idea anyone? please help... it's driving me crazy [23:54] i try to open the update manager [23:54] but the system freezes [23:54] :( [23:54] Sir_Konrad: thats how I'd do it. and if you read up on preseed files, you could have a pre-setup installation all ready to go on a usb stick that does all the disk part stuff, and user account/password and what not. [23:54] lov255: did you start vi with sudo? [23:54] right. I think that's how I'll do it. Then the config files would be prepared for that hardware. [23:54] thanks hiku. :) [23:54] no [23:55] hiku no I did not [23:55] Sir_Konrad: yup. and your welcome [23:55] lov255: is this a file outside of $HOME that your editing? [23:55] I am just going to kill the terminal [23:55] lov255: just type ctrl+z [23:55] H2O: try an apt-get upgrade if you can [23:55] lov255: and to force a vi exit you can use :q! === LjL is now known as ljL [23:56] I'm trying to install VMware workstation, and the terminal isn't doing anything...

[23:59] it doesn't matter [23:59] ldwingate: try run freedroidrpg in terminal and see if it gives you any error output.. [23:59] i had it launched once once and i changed the scree resolution could that be the problem [23:59] im currently running 32bit on 64 [23:59] LorgonJortle: are you running this from your local machine or a remote one via ssh?
