[00:01] update will just update the package lists from your repo's [00:01] hiku, maybe its offtopic now but may I ask you another question? Do you know if it is possible to slow down the fans in the sun machines during installation? [00:01] hiku: Negative. [00:01] Hey guys im having trouble finding a network printer.

[00:02] i rebooted it like a 1000 times now [00:02] write free then press tab and it should give you examples of any application starting with free [00:02] LorgonJortle: does vmware's website have an md5sum file for that file you could download then hash it to check the download? [00:02] Again, here's the forum link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9731516 [00:02] i have configured nothing yet but i see the server install cd has not much commands, so i am in doubt that it is possible [00:02] LorgonJortle: what do you get from $> file vmware-workstation-full-7.1.0-261024.x86_64.bundle [00:02] when i type free it just gives me discspace [00:03] Not sure.

Thanks. :) [00:04] LorgonJortle: your welcome. good luck [00:04] ldwingate: hmm try edit the start menu, and there you will see name you will have to run freedriodrpg in terminal..

My case scenario is that I still have a PC hold 128 RAM, and 7.04 is as low as it can go.

It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [00:49] hello, when i run virtualbox ose, is there a way to make the window larger, like maybe close to full screen, this little window is difficult to use effectively [00:49] psyberpnk: erm "dev-essential"?

[00:50] eliezer: just allocate some more [00:50] jrib, yeah, that one too. :-) [00:50] i2c: use what you want [00:50] so i dont need swap,my computer neves sleeps [00:50] psyberpnk, I get no apt-cache search result for dev-essential. Are you trying to install build-essential?

[00:51] so... you can say that I want to make my 128 RAM PC more usable as in it is in the times. [00:51] KrowTen: try #vbox, but you probably want to install guest additions and then you should be able to resize the window [00:51] hiku, thanks worked a treat :) [00:51] dschuett, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [00:51] can anyone tell me where linux stores it's netowrk totals i.e. total upload etc..

[00:52] JamesVoss: erm, "secure" in what respect? [00:52] psyberpnk: as "dev-essential" [00:53] of course this is without ethernet working [00:53] hiku: still not there... [00:53] make users not be able to view core system folders [00:53] welinux is this about the types of filesystems or journal filesystem [00:53] psyberpnk, jrb, no such package as "dev-essential" are you instead looking for "build-essential"?

Version 11.4build1 (lucid), package size 7 kB, installed size 48 kB [00:53] can anyone help me get my mic working on a vaio with realtek ALC275 [00:53] I'm trying to create an ext4 filesystem in a device with a GPT partition table. I also want to change the reserved space for super user. I tried to use cfdisk and fdisk but they don't support GPT parition tables. I installed GNU parted but I can't specify the start and end correctly [00:54] C_Okie: it is modern journal filesystem of my Ubuntu now [00:54] carandraug: you need to use parted /dev/sdXXXX [00:54] JamesVoss: but that link you gave doesn't even mention that [00:55] yes, I am looking for, and can find, build-essential. The problem is that when I install through synaptic it cannot find one of the dependencies [00:55] "enforcing root-only permissions on system binaries (binaries that have no place being [00:55] executed by normal users)" [00:55] Hi, Thanks everyone for your tips on music players. Sadly audacious and gnome media player do not do what I want. I have a library of over 20,000 tracks i want a player that can track/monitor that library, manage playlists and is stable and reliable. Is there such a thing for Gnome? to recap: Banshee: sounds terrible compared to other players, Rhythmbox: to buggy, Songbird: stopped linux development, amarok: slow and dependant on kde libraries, e [00:55] oh [00:55] xaile: slow, VLC: lacks library management as does audacious and Gnome media player [00:55] psyberpnk, if there is a particular application you are trying to build perhaps a guide can be found on that topic? [00:55] fuck this channel scrolls so fast [00:55] jaimewan, looks like im going to need gparted for that,,i dont see how to create swap using Disk Utility,,,just installed [00:55] hiku, yes. I did it. And I ttried to then use mkpart primary ext4 4big 0 100 (before that I used unit % to specify unit in percentage). However, that created me a partition but still left 120Gb out as free space [00:55] and im downloading updates now [00:55] !languge | JamesVoss [00:55] so is the copy of the file an entire copy in the intermediate area that is written to? [00:55] headkase314, I am working my way through the packaging tutorial [00:55] !language | James Voss [00:55] James Voss: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:56] psyberpnk, do you have the link for the tutorial you are following? [00:56] JamesVoss: honestly, ubuntu is likely fine for what you want to do, I don't understand what exactly you want to accomplish [00:56] okay [00:56] nvm [00:56] dibs: /var/cache/apt/archives --- for packages ; /tmp ---- for flv video (YouTube and so on) [00:56] thank you [00:56] ls 'yes' says ls: cannot access yes: No such file or directory [00:56] JamesVoss: maybe you want to chroot jail your users but that's just a hassle [00:56] psyberpnk, I installed build-essential last night on this machine without errors. [00:56] 10-4 [00:56] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete [00:56] chrisbuntunerd: are you addressing that to someone? [00:57] anyone [00:57] chrisbuntunerd: what are you even trying to do? [00:57] crash my system [00:57] chrisbuntunerd: you might want to stay in #ubuntu-offtopic unless you have a legit ubuntu support question [00:57] eliezer: and you will have to turn the swap on i think also after you set it up [00:57] sorri i got it now,im creating Swap whats i Gb in Mb i want to create a 2G Swap ?? [00:57] bonjour tout le monde [00:57] ah [00:57] lahran said to [00:57] like C:\foo.c would be just int main(char argv[]) { } and if you wanted to write to it as main(char argv[]) { BST tree; tree.push(new tree); } to the file would it copy the old one save the changes and then note changes in the intermediate area [00:58] hayoo: Siegsigev [00:58] how can i run that swap partition ? [00:58] psyberpnk, is there a specific point in that guide you have reached giving the error? [00:58] when i try to run "sudo -C network" it simply displays "PCI (sysfs)" for several seconds and then disappears [00:58] why is this happening? [00:58] if i restart will that take effect con restart,,Swap partition [00:58] welinux: I am trying to get the total internet usage in a text format, is that stored somewhere in /var/cache/apt/archives? [00:58] headkase314, hum looks like updating apt did the trick. It worked this time. thx. [00:58] eliezer: have you created it yet [00:58] sifter_: I'm guessing there should be a "lshw" in there? [00:59] eliezer: 2gb about 2000mb +- rounding.. since it may want round up to the nearest cylinder [00:59] psyberpnk, have you double-checked the lines entered? Ok, glad it's working for good! [00:59] chrisbuntunerd: please do not troll here [00:59] dibs: it was about soft [00:59] hiku, I don't know how to adjust the reserved space with parted but is the only that I see that creates partitions only when using GUID partition tables. I plan to then make the filesystem with mkfs [00:59] headkase314, no, I am not having any problems, just trying to get the packages needed to start playing around with packaging [00:59] welinux: I'm not after soft? [00:59] ok [00:59] not yet,im just a few clicks away,,im making sure,,thanks Dr_Willis [00:59] headkase314, synaptic was just misbehaving. [00:59] Idleone:sorry [00:59] yeah,jrib [00:59] psyberpnk, ok good, done! ;) [00:59] welinux: Do you know where I can find the eth0 figures? [01:00] i have been typing "sudo lswh -C network" [01:00] did I make that really complicated [01:00] sifter_: do you get network info if you don't include the -C? Try typing "reset" first [01:00] dibs: ifconfig [01:00] ok cool, will see what I can find [01:00] just installed new ubuntu, i have windows 7 but grub didnt ask for what to boot to [01:00] eliezer: gparted should give you option to turn it on or off the swap partition that is [01:00] what is the filename to edit that? [01:01] dibs: "cat /proc/net/dev" has stats since boot [01:01] wilhart: you are in ubuntu now? you may want to rerun 'sudo update-grub' and reboot and see if it shows Windows in the grub menus then. [01:02] sorry, i was booted [01:02] Dr_Willis: trying that now [01:02] what was your advice? [01:02] jaimewan im using this http://imagebin.org/110125 [01:03] dibs: sudo aptitude install ettercap-gtk ----- a lot of interesting net tools :) [01:03] is the one it brings as default [01:03] Dr_Willis: hmm [01:03] im updating,,have to wait to get gparted [01:03] yep yep [01:03] could this be done in terminal ? [01:03] what does that circle button do in the window ? [01:03] yes [01:03] is it just a close window? [01:04] Dr_Willis: should there show windows after generating grub.cfg? [01:04] eliezer: jamiewan are you trying to turn on your swap partition? [01:04] i've been having problems with the xbmc repositories [01:04] when i type "sudo lshw -C network" all i get is PCI sysfs for a few seconds and then nothing. what should i do? [01:04] wilhart: yes. I have windows in my grub menu.. [01:04] Dr_Willis: hmm [01:04] Dr_Willis: it didnt say windows at all [01:05] hiku: hes creating some swap space [01:05] Hi all. Is it possible (if so, is it not advisable?) to have my home on an ntfs volume. I dual boot (well, single boot now that W7 is broken) my OS('s) are on one partitioned disk. My "Data" is on a seperate, large drive. Before windows "broke" I doctored the registry to see "My Documents"... etc... as folders/directories on my big disk. Can I have Ubuntu see that as my home directory? Please point me to some documents describing how, or expl [01:05] hiku , i just created a Swap partition,,need to run it [01:05] wilhart: No idea. Try rebooting and see if it shows up.. or look in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file. [01:05] Dr_Willis: just linux image, initrd and memtest [01:05] eliezer: try swapon /dev/sdX [01:05] hey guys, where is my root password stored? [01:05] CT1: very bad idea [01:05] lax_: there is no root password [01:05] !sudo | lax [01:05] lax: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:05] CT1: do not put home on ntfs, you'll have permission issues [01:05] lax_: the root password is stored nowhere [01:05] i am troubleshooting my wireless connection. when i type "sudo lshw -C network" all i get is PCI sysfs for a few seconds and then nothing. what should i do? [01:05] isint it in /etc/shadow? [01:05] lax_: no [01:05] CT1: however you could have an NTFS partition that mounts at ~/Data or something [01:05] lax_: !sudo > lax [01:05] !root | lax_ [01:05] lax_: 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 [01:05] no such file or directiry [01:05] what about sudo password? [01:06] lax_: it can't store what does not exist. please to be using sudo. [01:06] sudo uses your password [01:06] so where is my sudo password stored? [01:06] lax_: there's a hash of your password in /etc/shadow... [01:06] it's your password [01:06] how to add a user into sudo group? [01:06] i am troubleshooting my wireless connection. when i type "sudo lshw -C network" all i get is PCI sysfs for a few seconds and then nothing. what should i do? [01:06] yes, jrib can i encrypt my /etc/shadow? [01:06] blet: add the user to the admin group: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups [01:06] blet: that website should explain it [01:06] lax_: erm, why... [01:06] lax_: /etc/shadow is already encrypted. [01:07] lax_: that wouldn't be a good idea [01:07] hash can be broken [01:07] blet: try to ad to *admin* group [01:07] lax_: if they can get to the hash... [01:07] hiku,i t says no such file or directory [01:07] lax_: really? break it... [01:07] lax_: only if the password is weak. [01:07] ok [01:07] i am troubleshooting my wireless connection. when i type "sudo lshw -C network" all i get is PCI sysfs for a few seconds and then nothing. what should i do? [01:07] lax_: can anyone access your machine besides you like can they touch it? [01:07] md5 hash if u use a rainbow cracker.. takes a few hours to crack [01:07] def doable [01:08] eliezer: what is the /dev/ for your swap partition? [01:08] if you use a weak password, you deserve to get pwned [01:08] you guys are silly [01:08] hiku yes, via ssh [01:08] lax_ : md6 [01:08] i am troubleshooting my wireless connection. when i type "sudo lshw -C network" all i get is PCI sysfs for a few seconds and then nothing. what should i do? [01:08] lax_: look at permission on /etc/shadow for starters [01:08] lax_: so, your saying that anyone with ssh can phycially touch your computer? [01:08] u got me there,,i dont know what u mean [01:08] i need help [01:08] well my ssh if its not updated can be vuln [01:08] sifter_ type iwconfig [01:08] lots of ssh exploits out there [01:09] lax_ : lol [01:09] lax_: do you have top clearance data on your machine? [01:09] no [01:09] ROFL [01:09] "no wireless extensions" [01:09] eliezer: a partition of the disk will leave you with /dev(device/sda1 that would be partition 1 of the harddrive sda [01:09] Aemaeth: it looks like development has moved to https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-svn/+archive/ppa , but some are still having problems. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9730697 [01:09] lax_: lots of people who read them, too [01:09] do i need to run it as sudo [01:09] ok let me see [01:09] maco: I'm happy with my current setup. I know where things are. But I have siblings over from time to time that (I don't blame them) look in "Places>Music" for my music for example. It seems logical to them, they instantly feel alienated from the entire linux scene because of my poor storage setup... [01:09] Dr_Willis: is it possible linux removed windows boot sector ?

[01:10] lax_: does a bear poop in the woods [01:10] CT1: make symlinks [01:10] lax_: lol I do.... =) but that's just me. [01:10] yup [01:10] lax_, root should be avoided completely. [01:10] ok let me try as sudo [01:10] wilhart: grub installs to the MBR of the first hard drive.. so Yes.. thast does remove the windows boot loader on the MBR and replaces it with GRUB - thats how it normally works,. [01:10] lol [01:10] CT1: ln -s ~/Data/My\ Music ~/Music [01:10] wilhart: can you mount/access your windows partitions at all from Linux? [01:10] gentoo and all the flavor distros use root [01:11] lax_, hiku: doing so is not encouraged here. [01:11] Dr_Willis: yea i can mount it. [01:11] lsub make command not found? [01:11] Dr_Willis: sdb1 [01:11] CT1: the goal is to keep things like .ssh, .Xauthority, .bashrc etc on your normal ext3 partition [01:11] lax_: they also have sudo [01:11] gotcha [01:11] Gnea: hmm, yeah, I know. been using linux way before ubuntu was a twinkle in anyones eye [01:11] CT1: or ext4... but... a linux filesystem [01:11] so you don't HAVE to use su all the time [01:11] wilhart: you could try using the pc's boot menus/bios to tell it to boot the 2nd hd.. I have several systems set up that way. [01:11] darpa, lsub command not found [01:11] jrib: sorry, I was going to reply/ask something but that simlink stuff caught my attention. [01:11] lax_, if you're in the recovery console you end up as root and that is the proper place to be root. Every other instance of needing elavation beyond being in a recovery console should use sudo. [01:11] hiku: same [01:11] i did like this,,,sudo swapon /dev/sda2,,,thats how my partition ends [01:12] Dr_Willis: yep. i tried the other disc too [01:12] is that how it is done on terminal [01:12] Dr_Willis: have to try again or something [01:12] CT1: what maco says is good advice [01:12] also, sudo lets you track who's using commands and such [01:12] eliezer: yes [01:12] hiku: but, this channel being what it is, it is expected that such a concept be respected [01:12] CT1: then the Places menu would still work and the permissions that dotfiles need to have inside ~ are available [01:12] thanks headkase314 [01:12] so you can easily see who's attempting to violate your system [01:12] eliezer: perfect [01:12] ok i did and nothing seem to happend [01:12] sifter_ lsusb [01:12] just got another line [01:12] to run another command [01:12] lax_, you're welcome - that is how I see it and it works for me! ;) [01:12] is that mean it is ok ? [01:12] Gnea: totally. and I didn't tell him how to do it. I only stated that I did it when replying to his question. [01:12] hiku: :) [01:12] is there any way for network manager to use /dev/ttyACM0 instead of /dev/ttyACM1 when using for usb modem? [01:13] darpa, it lists several options -v, -s, -d, -D, -t, -V [01:13] maco: I'm rather new-ish to this, but the symlink stuff sounds perfect for my situation. /me thanks all and fires up google to research. Thanks! [01:13] linoge: can't you change it in the settings? [01:13] eliezer: yes, now add that to your /etc/fstab [01:13] ooo yes is now o system monitor [01:13] sifter_ : is your wifi usb or pci compliance ? [01:13] ok how i do that ? [01:14] eliezer: it should look like - /dev/sda2 swap sw 0 0 [01:14] i believe it is pci, there is nothing external [01:14] CT1: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2009/11/links.html [01:14] ok nite all.

Keyboard input stops working in non-gtk (apparently) applications like Netbeans and Opera. Also mouse ceases to work normally at intervals (maybe 3 times a day), meaning that I can still move the pointer around, but clicking does nothing, or sometimes clicks are misplaced, so that if I click on the windows border it instead registers as a click inside the windows.

[01:32] where is the 10.04.1 ISO file ... it's not on the servers yet ? and it should have been released a month ago but postponed twice for yesterday 17th aug ..?? [01:33] evon: How about some beautiful photography? :D [01:33] wilhart: ive not used GRUB2 with win7 yet either. My only win7 box has 2 hard drives. one for ubuntu one for windows. [01:33] RPG-Master, ideally just let it run MemTest from the GBUB menu? See if you can get that to loop a few times for display corruption? Hold Shift while booting to get the mem-test diagnostic utility? [01:33] is mod_ssl no longer the preferred way of supporting HTTPS connections with apache? [01:33] wilhart: you may have better luck learning/reading up and figureing out how to fix GRUB then just trying to reinstgall.. (thats windows thinking) [01:33] headkase314: I'll try that [01:33] looks like libapache2-mod-gnutls is the closest alternative [01:34] evon: 'cus I can supply some of that ;D [01:34] hello [01:34] RPG-Master, if it never happens to corrupt as long as you keep Mem-Test looping then try another OS on it to rule out faulty-drivers. [01:34] rpg-master: i'm down with that [01:34] alpha six 3 : sweet3r my man..right on brother :) [01:35] Question, I am running a rooted Android phone with Wireless Tether and I am not seeing the SSID pop-up on my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop but it will pop-up on one of my Windows 7 machines. I tried manually putting the SSID in for the setting but no luck. Tried googling it with no luck. Any ideas? [01:35] evon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rpgmaster94/ [01:35] hmmm [01:36] at least someone tell us it's delayed again ?? so we go away ??? ubuntu 10.04.1 [01:36] rpg-master: thanks i'll take a look [01:37] what did maco say that package was again? [01:37] evon: I don't like how they hid the original size option for downloading... just ask if you need help finding it. :) [01:37] RPG-Master, the period "never" is a few days of running MemTest and seeing if the graphics corrupt and it locks. If it doesn't then try another os. Whatever happens that machine just moved over from operating as normal to an "unstable" status so if you got stuff you want to save burn or backup data on that machine.

[02:00] xangua: btw how do i send you a private message like u? [02:00] A|phA_SIX3, this is a courtesy comment to say I will not be feeding you - I will haughtily proceed to ignore you now.

[02:04] coz_: no, been using it for quite some time. Latest updates I remember were seemingly insignificant lang_en updates. [02:04] oh wait.. i need to install guest additions in vbox.. [02:04] shawnboy, mmm that;s odd if they were just language updates...not sure they could have this effect [02:05] Hello all...........does anyone know a simple way to make my laptop a hotspot to share my eth connection with my android phone? [02:05] coz_: s'what I thought. [02:05] shawnboy, and each attemtp to boot freezes? [02:05] tried 4 times [02:05] locks hard. [02:05] at logo [02:05] @xangua hi [02:05] shawnboy, mm...at logon you mean ...yes?? [02:05] i am liking this vm stuff.. have my windows, while i learn ubuntu/linux [02:05] no, ubuntu Lucid logo. never get to logon gdm screen.

[02:06] rafazed: /msg nick [02:07] ChogyDan: was only question I could think of.. but I've never done that, so would need some guidance (seeing what's going on when it freezes). [02:07] Looking to turn my laptop into a hotspot for wifi on my phone anyone know how I can do this with lucid ??? [02:07] does vlc need a gui? [02:07] Tempus_Fugit~ right click network icon in menu>> edit connections>> edit eth0>> then ipv4 settings>> then shared with other computers [02:07] I'm basically familiar with CLI... nano et. in irssi now. [02:08] shawnboy: I would check kern.log then Xorg.?.log or something both in /var/log [02:09] ChogyDan, ah I thought he said it freezes with the plymouth ubuntu theme...yes? [02:09] coz_: yeah, it sounds like it is before gdm kicks in [02:10] AndrewMC: Not seeing the shared with other computers ...was with you all the way to ipv4 settings...a box at the bottom is checked that says available to all users ..however that is just for all users with an acct on the laptop [02:10] ChogyDan, not sure he can access the logs without perhaps the live cd [02:10] Tempus_Fugit~ its in the automatic(DHCP) dropdown menu === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [02:10] what else, besides recognizing more than 3.2gb ram, the 64bit version can do? [02:11] ChogyDan, and even then the logs would not have recorded anything at that point I dont believe [02:11] is it possible that a program i've installed using ubuntu software center is stuck on my system? I'm trying to download a game off playdeb.net and for some reason every time i install it , i get the out of date version which i thought I removed from my system [02:11] AndrewMC: mine does not show a drop down menu for dhcp just an input box however there is a icon that says "routes" [02:12] ChogyDan: looks like last signif entry in kern.log is loading (or trying) kernel. [02:12] Tempus_Fugit~ do you see a drop down next to something like "Method:" [02:13] rafazed: with !pae 32bit can detect more than 3.2bgof ram [02:13] anyone? [02:13] the20year, playdeb and it's related getdeb both require a one-time install of a package from their respective web-sites to place their repository information into sources.list. [02:13] what is dkms ? [02:14] is there a way to remove the getdeb that's on my system? playdeb.net says it has the newest compile of the program , but the software center has a 1 year old version ,I installed the software center version , then uninstalled it [02:14] hey guys, I'm on Lucid, and I think my C/C++ compilers are broken. I can't compile from the command line (garbage errors) using g++, and I can't compile in Code::Blocks, running from the terminal it says it couldn't find Intel c/c++ compiler. I can't even launch codelite, because of the same issue. What [02:14] the20year, have you done that? Installed a .deb file using gdebi and then "sudo apt-get update" to ensure you were getting the latest versions? "sudo apt-get upgrade" will do this. [02:14] 's up? [02:15] shawnboy: yeah, I dunno, maybe coz_ has an idea? Are you booting into recovery mode? [02:15] i'm running it now , i did it somewhat recently, will it update even though the program is currently uninstalled? [02:15] <_pg_> I'm wanting to make a media center on a weaker computer, can someone recommend the lightest/best way to go? It runs boxee decently as long as the content is local. [02:17] ChogyDan: yes, I'm in recovery mode now... CLI root w/ networking. [02:17] the20year, you can go to -> Aministration > Software Sources to remove the playdeb repository information but unfortunately just doing that alone may leave you with some programs that are installed as "greater version" number programs - you're system won't automatically remove packages that came from the playdeb repository. [02:17] k [02:17] Guayadeque Music Player looks promising [02:18] shawnboy: can you pastebin your kern.log? pastebinit makes it easy [02:18] i'm looking at it now , and after looking at the 'install additional software' that was required to install it , the data that it says it used was from the old versiom [02:19] is there a program that spits out the hex or ascii value of any key i hit on keyboard? i want to see wat ascii value gets spit out when i hit the volume button on my new laptop...the volume doesnt seem to respond when i hit the volume buttons [02:19] ChogyDan: I think. I'd have to check really quick if I have lynx installed and if it will be lynx friendly. Won't tak long. You'd only want latest few screens I'm guessing. [02:19] the20year, research ppa-purge if you need to remove the repository in a sane manner. ppa-purge right now comes from a few testing repositories. Those aren't really good to get it from as they tend to include stuff you don't want. Give me a minute with google. [02:19] - - [02:20] go home [02:20] shawnboy: just use: pastebinit kern.log [02:20] Hey guys, I'm trying to connect MSN on empathy but I can't get it to login. I'm assuming this is because I'm behind a proxy. What do I do? I've setup system-wide proxy settings and everything works fine.. [02:20] <_pg_> I'm wanting to make a media center on a weaker computer, can someone recommend the lightest/best way to go? It runs boxee decently as long as the content is local. [02:21] you can use emesene.. [02:21] i'll look at it , i just don't understand i guess, i'm used to windows [02:21] Its just empathy [02:22] if you just hava empathy i cant help you / [02:22] im a newer. [02:22] how often does your ubuntu have to be reinstalled from curroption like windows always has to? just interested in other people's experiences. [02:23] hi guys [02:23] the20year, see this -> http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html <- for instructions and a download link as a .deb package you install with gdebi. It will only install the ppa-purge command - nothing else. Then you can try to work through those instructions and try? I'm not sure if it will cleanly remove the programs if the repository isn't an actual ppa however: so, I don't know [02:23] how do i install a fserv script into my xchat irc..... [02:23] completely if ppa-purge will work for you! :( [02:23] headkase314: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:23] cannonfodder: maybe "xinput list | grep id" then "xinput test " [02:23] - -# [02:23] :) anyone know how to copy / paste in pure CLI mode? ie from nano to lynx paste-bin ? [02:23] thanks thune3 [02:23] how do i install a fserv script into my xchat irc.. [02:24] any recommendations for a viable alternative to evolution? [02:24] pgpkeys: gmail [02:25] thunderbird [02:25] i have gmail. i want something for local usage. [02:25] Does anyone know if its possible to get the 3in1 magicjoybox pc controller adapter to work in linux? It does not offiicially support linux, but it shows up when I run hwinfo [02:25] having too many problems with evolution only getting so many emails and then gaking and forgetting passwords, and .. driving me nuts :) === AlbertoP_ is now known as AlbertoP [02:26] AndrewMC: Hmm ok well that disconnected me [02:26] hi [02:26] !resetpanels [02:26] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [02:26] ChogyDan: I have log file in one screen, lynx paste-bin in another, but don't know how get part or all of log file into paste-bin without GUI. :( [02:26] pgpkeys: honestly i don't know. i either use gmail's web client or check it on my blackberry. [02:26] shawnboy: did pastebinit not work? [02:27] actually since google handles the email for my domain as it is, I was hoping for an all-in-one that also integrated with google calendars [02:27] ChogyDan: I am not familiar with pasti-binit. Is it command line utility package I can install? [02:28] shawnboy: yes [02:28] shawnboy, did you get to your logs? [02:29] Ahah! There's an answer for everything, it seems. I'll install really fast. [02:29] Tempus_Fugit~ sorry thats all i know on that matter [02:31] !ppa-purge [02:32] i was thinking ppa-purge is going to be in the default repos in the next release.

[02:37] If You have 2 seperate hard drives. You could let grub stay on the linux HD.. and windows on its own.. and let each use their own bootloader. [02:37] hahah [02:37] wilhart: I would say Unpluyg the linux hd. and see if windows boots. [02:37] delaware: ahh cap'n but I don' think I've got the pow'r! [02:37] Dr_Willis: i've tried everything ever windows repair didnt find no windows oh well . [02:37] @delware i think if ure install linix, u should only put 1 HD in and vice versa [02:38] delaware: Unrikery. The !cn factoid seems to have worked. :-) [02:38] I need a simple image editing tool for my wife. Something like irfanview. Is there anything like that for ubuntu?

[02:38] IdeAleSs: gimp [02:38] could anyone help me [02:38] IdeAleSs: thats more of an image viewer.. what editing tasks are you doing? [02:38] Dr_Willis: it wont help is't broken and os cant find windows 7 anywhere [02:38] shawnboy: I'm only guessing about the wifi actually [02:38] delware: then from there u can use the BIOS to boot from which first.

With Alacarte, I as normal user I can uncheck games from the Games menu but when I go to the the menu its unchanged. Reopening Alacarte shows the settings saved. All the other menus besides games work fine. If i sudo alacarte it won't save changes at all. [02:39] is it only ifup wlan0 or am i doing wrong ? [02:39] wilhart: for getting windows fixed - its best to ask in #windows they may know some fix.. OR reinstall.. [02:39] M5800: your answering wilhart's question, not mine [02:39] hm. [02:39] richiie: same problem here, i think the driver is not ready out of the box [02:39] Dr_Willis: this helped me (from jordon_u) http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 [02:39] Dr_Willis, Resizing and minor color adjustment. [02:39] how much ram does ubuntu lucid uses on a clean install? [02:39] Blue1, not a chance of getting my wife to jump into gimp.

[02:40] rafazed: roughly 300mb [02:40] IdeAleSs: sorry only thing I can think of.... [02:40] wilhart have you tried testdisk? [02:40] M5800: are you sure ? im using Ubuntu 9.10 whit Enlightment 17 as Desktop Manager [02:40] IdeAleSs: check the package manager. thers some image editing tools and viewers that may do those.. Irvanview does work in Wine. [02:40] Blue1, np.

[02:41] Broz, is it possible that a fresh install of linux, and when i boot into linux and use it, the OS might make my graphic card heat up as compared to using windows? Maybe because it has not have a better driver yet? [02:41] i know the system requirements [02:41] if you have lost a partition testdisk will have a good chance of finding it [02:41] but i wanted to know exactly the consumption [02:41] yeah, did I read somewhere that conical was replacing gimp with something more straight forward? I can't recall the application though. [02:41] what other terminal commands can force a network to manually come up ? [02:41] ifup wlan0 [02:41] and more ? [02:41] rafazed, do you need to do anything that would require more or less system resources? [02:41] Hi can anyone help me? With Alacarte, I as normal user I can uncheck games from the Games menu but when I go to the the menu its unchanged. Reopening Alacarte shows the settings saved. All the other menus besides games work fine. If i sudo alacarte it won't save changes at all. Running Lucid [02:41] blaine: sorry never heard of it. [02:41] M5800: ive rarely heard of Video Card OVerheating issues.. those things tend to either kick the fans on HIGH if the drivers are not properly controlling the fans.. or they throttle down if getting too hot. === daves is now known as dsteele [02:41] coz: http://pastebin.com/KpgiQMSD ChogyDan: no, but I tried alt-PrS-REISUB [02:42] M5800: you playing some 3d games in linux? [02:42] M5800: its possible the fan controlls under windows are not as optmized. but that should just make the fans run more/louder. [02:43] could anyone make a list for me about Network terminal commands ? === jellow_ is now known as jellow [02:43] like ifup wlan0 ifconfig etc what more to get my network working under Enlightment 17 [02:43] Dr_Willis: it's because i installed it, and i was using it as normal, trying to find a solution to get my internet working, so basically no better/new drivers are installed yet. Then half way, it shuts down. I opened up the top and can really tell the GFX is REALLY heated up. as compared to running it in windows [02:44] Dr_Willis: Happens all the time bte [02:44] Dr_Willis: btw i mean [02:44] M5800: i would find it odd that just the normal desktop would overload any video card. [02:44] YEA! [02:44] pay attention to the fans under both os's - it could be the fans are being contriolled wrongly [02:44] dr_willis: unless they had every option turned on compiz on a laptop gpu, then i could see that happening. [02:45] wilhart: Even if Testdisk doesn't find windows7 on your 2nd harddrive, you may still be able to recover the data [02:45] delaware: i would find that hard to do also.. of course could be some older overheat prone video cards as well. :) [02:45] hi if i have a computer running ubuntu with localhost, what steps do i have to do to get that to be a server published online? [02:46] delaware: gotta love SLI enabled Desktops with Compiz! :) [02:46] Dr_Willis: yeah never encountered this before. my other installations went fine. only with this Desktop. Btw i can see the fans move the same in both WIN and LINUX. so i thought it was ubuntu running the clock too high? because of some incompatible out of the box drivers? [02:46] i just need the files in the server to be accessed via web [02:46] Dr_Willis: oh yeah, until you see your electric bill at the end of the month for that 700watt psu your running!!!!! [02:46] like any website [02:46] M5800: what video card anyway? [02:47] delaware: 700? Phhh.. ive seen systems with 1000W.. even seen them with TWIN 1000W [02:47] Dr_Willis: GT220 it's an Acer Desktop btw. [02:47] still not sure what that guy used 2x1000W PSU's for.. [02:47] any help would be appreciated [02:47] M5800: check the forums perhaps. Ive not seen anyone else mention similer issues with nvidia cards overheating. [02:48] Dr_Willis: Nvidia GT220 [02:48] Dr_Willis: that's insane! my hp laptop my be almost 3 years old, but once the batteries charged the most it will pull is 35watts from the wall at full tilt transcoding. i'll sacrifice a little speed to save $50 a month in electricity bills. [02:48] pbarros: yea i'm copyuing data from that harddrive [02:48] M5800: as a test.. you could just boot to the console and let it sit for a while and monitor the heat.. [02:48] pbarros: its no biggie windows 7 is easy to install [02:48] has anyone tried 64bits ubuntu version? [02:48] yea i have 64bit [02:48] Dr_Willis: yeah... i might just give up on making it work haha. Because it's my siblings desktop anyways... i have my own machine to use it on [02:49] rafazed: i am using 64 bit here [02:49] M5800: if your pc is new enough just boot into the bios and monitor the temps from there for 15 minutes as a baseline [02:49] delaware: My New laptop has a ECO mode (windows only) and a graph showing its Watt ussage. :) idling/desktop = 20-30W. Playing Crysis = 120W :) [02:49] rafazed, I had 64-bit but recently reinstalled 32-bit mainly because I only have 3GB of system memory. [02:49] Dr_Willis: yeah i was planning to do that, now waiting for the GFX to cool down [02:49] Hello I did the Mac4Lin thing and I want to replace the Gnome Foot with the Apple logo. [02:49] How can I do this? [02:49] Dr_Willis: that's a cool gadget I'd love to see!! Blows only for winblows though. [02:49] Is there a tool/way to determine the "W" ussage of a machine in a general way? Ive never noticed sich a tool under Linux, only seen it on this one laptop under windows also. [02:50] Theres those Watt meter devices.. but thats not what this is measuring. [02:50] Dr_Willis: I'm using a kill-a-watt meter to measure all power consumption from my linux laptop. [02:51] I tried using Ubuntu tweak to Change my menu icon but it wouldn't let me do that. [02:52] "Additionally, a plug computer uses 5 watts under normal operations, in contrast to the typical 25 to 100 watts for a dedicated PC." <--> http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/the-linux-distillery/41230-cheap-linux-wall-warts-small-on-size-big-on-possib [02:52] Hey maybe someone can help me figure out why I'm invisible in this IRC Chat [02:54] delaware: yea. well this is measuing what its actually using. I would think those watt meters on a laptop would be doing more of a 'charge' thing also. But its nice to see the pc makers actually paying attention to the power ussage. [02:54] rafazed, in response to your private message: since you have 4GB of system memory it would be appropriate to either use 64-bit or a 32-bit PAE kernel. [02:54] headkase314: where do you buy those? [02:54] !pae | rafazed [02:54] rafazed: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [02:55] delaware: it even has some way of throttling down the drives, cpu, video, and other things to reduce power. I need to get one of those Killawatt meters to compare it under linux and windows. [02:55] anyone know how I can verify that ubuntu is recognizing my SD slot? Acer Aspire One d260 [02:56] xomp_: for some of those laptops - it will ONOLY see the sd cards IF its plugged in when the system boots.. and can lose the slot if you use suspend/hibernate. [02:56] Dr_Willis: for $20 at lowes you can't beat it. it's a nice handy little toy (er ah tool) to have around the house. [02:56] xomp_: ive had a lot of 'fighting' with sd card/slots in the past. :( [02:56] Dr_Willis, oh sheesh that doesn't sound too good heh [02:56] delaware: yea. I need to get one for my PC toolbox to sit next to my Decible Meter. [02:56] HELP ME I'M IN INTERNET SHARING HELL!!!!!!!!! [02:56] xomp_: the MB/PC makers do such odd things with built in slot readers. [02:56] I'm still waiting [02:56] Anyone know how to change the menu icon? [02:57] sorry to be dramatic [02:57] I will try booting my system with my card in and see if it mounts it [02:57] xomp_: a $5 usb card reader = good investment. [02:57] but I have gotten ZERO help in the past two months [02:57] from anyone here, from the forums, and from the dipwits at Roku [02:57] * Dr_Willis dosent even know who Roku is [02:57] Roku = the Netflix streaming box [02:57] Dr_Willis, well, I'd much rather use the one I have in my laptop since it's an SDHC reader :P and having to carry around devices is so Windows 98'ish [02:58] HELLO [02:58] heck, I already changed my computer and moved everything over. No dice. Apparently the motherboard wasn't the problem [02:58] reboot time heh [02:58] !patience | owner [02:58] owner: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [02:58] so it's gotta be the SOFTWARE!!! [02:58] xomp_: yea. also had friends with issues with SDHC cards.. in a normal SD slot.. [02:59] thanks Dr_Willis \o [02:59] owner: on my 9.10 system the image is /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png , which I can replace [02:59] does anyone else have problems when installing Eclipse from the Ubuntu Software Center? [02:59] Let me try. [02:59] jdsbluedevl: so far youve not really stated the problem.. all i can gather is 'roku dont work with internet shareing' (or somthing like that) [02:59] howdy! Has anyone here configured gedit to work with latex in ubuntu? [02:59] Dr_Willis: sorry, I just feel frustrated [03:00] so the problem is that my Ubuntu computer fails to recognize the Roku box as a connection === rod__ is now known as econdudeawesome [03:00] Dr_Willis: for that matter, when I try to share the Internet with my laptop, it shows a connection, but the throughput is ZERO [03:00] I'll ask with the right nick: Has anyone here successfully configured gedit to work with latex? [03:01] vol7ron: It seems to be downloading/installing just fine so far. [03:01] Dr_Willis: and the only response I got in the forums is a SPAMBOT! [03:01] owner, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478864 [03:01] hi [03:01] does it really worth to install the 64bits version? what are the advantages? [03:01] Dr_Willis, welp, no love with SD card inserted with reboot heh [03:02] I may end up going back to Windows 7 Starter :/ [03:02] vol7ron: I will admit that it's downloading rather slowly, though. [03:02] xomp_: check the forums. for some of my laptops ive had to use some kernel boot options. [03:03] xomp_: i recall on my old AAO i had to use some boot option to get both slots working. and even then one side slot had to have a card inserrted at boot time [03:03] rafazed: if you can use 64bit.. i say YES . use 64bit [03:03] rafazed, program executables are on average 9% bigger with 64-bit although just the programs, not the data. And overall 64-bit programs run 3-4% faster than the exact same program compiled with 32-bit. I would go 32-bit PAE if I were you! [03:03] Here's my thread, complete with BUMP ranting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1517232&highlight=roku [03:03] !pae | rafazed [03:03] rafazed: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [03:03] How can I change the sudoers file to allow NOPASSWD on a specific set of commands [03:04] rafazed: benchmark sites ive seen say that 32bit PAE can be SLOWER then normal 32bit. and definatly slower then 64bit. [03:04] Chiggins: theres a wiki page on editing the sudowers file with examples [03:04] !sudoers [03:04] !sudo [03:04] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [03:04] MrPrinny, that's not the problem.. the problem is when installing plugins [03:04] bye all.. work time for me [03:04] Dr_Willis: I'm actually getting really close to doing a second wipe of my hard drive to fix the problem [03:04] Dr_Willis, rafazed, thank you! [03:04] MrPrinny, at least on x64 [03:04] Oh, I didn't see the part about plugins. [03:04] And once again, nobody hears my cry for help [03:05] Not the chat, not the forums. I might as well be dead to Ubuntu [03:05] MrPrinny, I didn't add it... it's hard to be noticed in #ubuntu [03:05] Well, there are lots of people trying to ask for help. I can understand why it may be difficult at times to get someone to help out. [03:05] Which plugins are you having trouble with? [03:06] rafazed, if you have a fast processor you may not notice much difference? Do you know your general hardware specs? Perhaps as Dr_Willis is seeming to recommend 64-bit would be best? [03:06] Does anyone know if there is an alternative to MySQL Workbench available on Ubuntu? [03:06] Alright, I see how to add NOPASSWD to ALL, but how do i add it to specific commands [03:07] how can i force passwd to take a simple password ( with out touching /etc/shadow/ ) [03:07] MrPinny: anything from: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/ [03:08] MrPinny: found a post a while ago that said to 'apt-get install eclipse-pde', which seems to work, but who knows [03:08] MrPinny, this shows that there's a problem with the Ub Soft Center [03:10] vol7ron: I'm trying to see if I can have any luck. [03:11] one moment, please. [03:11] Where is the location of the commands ifconfig and dhclient [03:11] jdsbluedevl: sorry what's a roku box? [03:12] Chiggins: have you tried the which command in a terminal? [03:12] Does anyone know if there as a MySQL Workbench alternative on Ubuntu? [03:12] it will give you the locations of any command [03:13] pbarros, ha didnt know that, thanks [03:13] np... I like the easy ones! [03:13] any reason why the screen saver in gnome would take 5mins or so to timeout on a bad password? [03:15] MrPrinny, I hope you didn't apt-get === the_malcontent[T is now known as the_malcontent [03:16] Not yet, why? [03:16] hii [03:16] i hate ubuntu [03:16] and mac [03:17] Any particular reason? [03:17] ubuntu bcoz ov terminal commands [03:17] mac coz u get no u have to use mac software [03:18] hi , Today I try to edit a /etc/resolv.conf in a remote newly installed ubuntu (whose /etc/debian_version contains squezze/syd ) , and to my surprise /etc/resolv.conf was a directory instead of a file. What am I supposed to do if I want to put a nameserver line in there ? Whay has that changed ?? [03:18] MrPrinny, because that seems to be the fix [03:18] Oh, so you're all good to go? [03:19] I think so, but the fact that the Software Center doesn't come with the needed plugin is what I'm bringing up [03:19] maa choo haram khoor [03:19] maa di phudi [03:19] ubuntu di [03:19] Well, sometimes you have to go out a bit out of your way to change your repositories. [03:20] malik_: chocolate fudge pudding cup? [03:20] lol [03:20] maa lun blue [03:20] teri gand maraan [03:21] I'm wondering if anyone here could possibly help me with my network manager issue. For whatever reason last night, I lost the ability to connect wirelessly to my Internet. When I right click on the network manager I see that "Enable Wireless" is grayed out and I'm unable to check it back on. [03:21] I've looked at a few different threads and pages to see if resetting it would fix it, but nothing has worked yet. [03:21] MrPrinny, I noticed the same exact thing today [03:21] Did you? Are you unable to connect wirelessly? [03:22] MrPrinny, no I just restarted [03:22] Because my netbook has had that issue since roughtly 11 PM last night. [03:22] Ah, see, that didn't fix it for me. [03:22] MrPrinny: what does ifconfig show? [03:22] MrPrinny, is there a radio button to enable/disable your wlan card? [03:23] MrPrinny: /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:23] harovali: i'm not sure i follow, there is some /etc/resolvconf/ dir with some avahi thing in it, but /etc/resolv.conf is still the right file, unless I'm missing something. [03:23] thune3: you made me realize that the person over the phone might have missed the dot [03:23] anyone here familiar with autofs? [03:23] thune3: thanks [03:24] jellow: what exactly am I looking for in the ifconfig? (Sorry, I'm still new at this) McLinux: Where would I find said radio button? When I right click I see that it's unchecked, but it won't let me change that. vol7ron: I ran that command actually, but it didn't help. [03:24] inside the directory, effectively there is an avahi thing [03:24] hrmm... when is adobe going to fix the atrocity called flash? It is crashing way too often when playing videos. I have to reload pages repeatedly. [03:24] MrPrinny: there's usually a hardware switch on your physical netbook that disables/enables the wireless radio [03:24] MrPrinny: /etc/init.d/dbus restart [03:25] OK, one moment. I'll try restarting my dbus. [03:25] cappicard: 64 bit system? [03:26] yes [03:26] and this is happening alot in chrome as well [03:26] cappicard: the 32 bit flash installed on 64 bit systems in problematic [03:27] i hear so many problems with flash and while i have a couple, i rarely have them happen [03:27] cappicard: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=161 [03:27] My netbook has extreme issues with flash.. (32bit) while my 64bit install runs it flawlessly [03:28] 64bit here as well [03:28] vol7ron: I tried out that command, but it didn't restart. I got a message about using service dbus restart, instead [03:28] Then a message about it being an upstart job. [03:28] McLinux: i've problems with the 32 bit flash operating in a 64 bit environ [03:28] MrPrinny: right [03:28] is your device in lsusb [03:29] vol7ron: how is dbus related to wlan? [03:29] McLinux: i solved it with the alpha 64 bit plugin --- [03:29] Blue1, the ftp site that it has linked there is invalid [03:29] hi [03:29] cappicard: let me look [03:29] hello [03:29] McLinux: it's about getting the computer to recognize the device again [03:29] or at least, refresh it [03:29] cappicard: hmm works here what kind of error did you get? [03:30] Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to wayno.ath.cx [03:30] vol7ron: How would I go about checking that? I apologize once again for my extreme lack of knowledge in this area. [03:30] how do you change to another directory in terminal? [03:30] cd /your/path/here [03:30] cappicard hmm let me check somethin [03:30] MrPrinny: `lsusb` [03:30] lxterminal is telling me that "cd" isnt a command [03:30] it's attempting to connect to 24.255.62.145 and timing out [03:30] Is it even a usb device? Its a netbook... [03:31] got in that time [03:31] cappicard: right ip gonign to try it in chrome [03:31] is there a way to integrate gimp and nautilus? i would like to change an entire folder of pictures at once instead of one by one [03:31] MrPrinny: open a term and type "dmesg | grep wlan" -- what does it show? [03:31] and scripting gimp seems ugly [03:31] ncftp works fine [03:31] cappicard: hmm dunno it works here.. [03:31] it's something goofy with chrome [03:32] [ 17.177791] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [03:32] cappicard: most likely [03:32] hi, how to find out what chipset my netbook is using in ubuntu? [03:32] ah, I see the file. [03:32] lxterminal is telling me that "cd" isnt a command anyone know what's wrong? [03:32] And vol7ron: I don't see anything in lsusb that looks like it pertains to my wireless card or anything network related. [03:32] #ndy40 [03:32] dwox: chipset for? usually just lspci [03:33] MrPrinny: ok [03:33] MrPrinny: lsusb to a pastebin. lspci too, while you're at it. [03:33] McLinux: it may be, depending on the device. I forgot I use vmware, so it's "usb" for me [03:34] I'm having trouble sharing files on a USB drive, it says I need to allow read by others, and i've done that, but it still won't allow others to connect to that share [03:34] dwox: might help: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=127 [03:34] I would try to rule out the physical aspect.. it's so easy to "bump" your radio switch and disable Wireless [03:34] I agree [03:34] My radio switch on my netbook actually does nothing as far as I can tell. I thought it was that at first, but it doesn't seem to have any affect on it whatsoever. [03:34] IT's never been an issue before last night. [03:34] thanks Blue1 [03:35] dwox: hope that helps [03:35] MrPrinny: not to say this is the reason, but it could also be that your card got damaged [03:36] In my experience, the radio switch doesn't appear to do anything under linux beacuse it doesn't toggle the LED correctly. [03:36] I wouldn't rule out that possibility. [03:36] I usually have to flip the switch one time and reboot, to be sure. [03:36] what is the guys name with the beard that talks about linux and stuff :P? [03:37] Niglop: santa claus [03:37] Hi [03:37] Can i install ubuntu without deleting all my files [03:37] LMAO [03:37] Polgin [03:37] Gander: A back up is recommended [03:37] Niglop: Gandalf [03:37] richard stallman..

I need help desperately. I havent been able to use the shares on my ubuntu 10.04 PC on a windows 7 PC. I can see the Computer but when I click on it, Windows 7 tells me it cannot find my ubuntu PC. Heres my smba.conf: http://pastebin.com/8ZBDgDNT. Please help me.!!! TIA [03:39] *especially* gandalf [03:39] nimbiotics: has this worked before? [03:39] yes, hes a linux wiz! [03:39] McLinux: no, never tried before [03:39] e [03:40] google "Windows 7 Samba not working".. there are issues and workarounds [03:40] McLinux: Thanks, wil do [03:41] McLinux: this might help: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=309 [03:41] Why does Ubuntu not offer a package for guayadeque_(music_player)? [03:41] bullgard: they will in 10.10 [03:42] Blue1: Ah! Thank you very much for your information. [03:42] bullgard: this will get you started: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=174 [03:43] Blue1, ah, got it it installed. let's see how this behaves. [03:43] I've a shell script and I want to make a shortcut to it in Cairo Dock. The only problem is, when I click it in the dock, it opens it with Gedit, and not in the terminal. Is there a way to specify how to open it? [03:43] cappicard: it has rapidly become my fav. [03:43] How can I check if samba process is running? [03:43] nimbiotics: pgrep -l smbd [03:43] cappicard: light years ahead of amaschlock [03:44] LorgonJortle: is the executable bit set in permissions? [03:45] 10.0.45 seems more stable than 10.0.87 flash... [03:45] cappicard: indeed [03:45] McLinux: Yes [03:45] and if you double-click it in nautilus it works normally? [03:45] i've been using banshee for my music player. i prefer it over rhythmbox. [03:46] banshee works better with my sansa e260 loaded with rockbox [03:46] If I double click it, it says it's an executable and prompts me with what to do. If I choose "Run" or "Run in terminal" then it works properly, yes. McLinux [03:46] cappicard: give guyadeque a try -- it will be standard on 10.10 [03:46] cappicard did they fix the problem with video playback problems in banshee? [03:46] last time i tried it was still buggy [03:46] guyadeque will be the standard music player on 10.10? [03:46] cappicard: I am trying to figure hout how to put a video on my sansa [03:47] McLinux: it will come pre-installed, if the rumours are to be belived [03:47] LorgonJortle: does it have the appropriate extension? e.g. .sh for shell? [03:47] Blue1: what the heck? [03:47] ah, it needs to be MPEG video if you have rockbox on your sansa [03:47] flash is now at 10.1 [03:47] McLinux: It hasn't an extension. [03:47] cappicard: it's a sansa fuse [03:47] I'll append the appropriate .sh to it. [03:47] ah, rockbox does support the fuse i believe. [03:48] i have noever heard of rockbox let me see what I can find brb [03:48] if it's the original firmware, i think the video has to be mp3 audio and wmv video. [03:48] guampa: thanks [03:48] rockbox.org [03:48] McLinux: Appending .sh to the filename did the trick. thanks for the tip. [03:48] Blue1: Thank you very much for your help. [03:48] No problem, LorgonJortle [03:48] cappicard: I have an avi file, and it needs to be resized, but I don't know the parms for resizeing [03:48] bullg [03:49] bullgard: welcome [03:49] np nimbiotics [03:49] ah, the convert command works great for that :) [03:49] i think it has options for compression or whatnot [03:49] I use xubuntu 10.04(but I removed XFCE and installed OpenBox). I have a problem with sound. Alsamixer shows at least 2 sound cards but I have no sound and all of programs that use alsa can not detect any sound cards. can anyone help me? [03:50] cappicard: ;=( SanDisk: Sansa c200 series (not v2), e200 series (all models), and Fuze v1 (not v2) [03:50] let's try guaydeque. :) [03:50] ah, damn... yeah. [03:50] yeah, i think the video has to be mp3/wmv [03:51] for the original firmware. [03:51] cappicard: i could prolly transcode it -- [03:51] ya [03:51] there's a programme calles fuzemux [03:51] hi how can i make my localhost viewable on the web? [03:51] hi.. [03:51] hi?? [03:52] zachary: why would you want to do that? you mean like a webserver? [03:52] I use xubuntu 10.04(but I removed XFCE and installed OpenBox). I have a problem with sound. Alsamixer shows at least 2 sound cards but I have no sound and all of programs that use alsa can not detect any sound cards. can anyone help me? [03:52] i tried to upgrade to alsa *.21 to alsa ending in .23 and now my sound isn't working [03:52] in lucid [03:52] is that rough one ? [03:52] Blue1, ty for your help. yes i want to make my localhost viewable on the net [03:52] Blue1, trying to find tutorials etc [03:53] zachary: let's define first, what you mean by local host [03:53] Blue1, oh the development builds seem to support the fuze v2. [03:53] Blue1, i have 127.0.0.1 up and running. i can view files on my computer via the local host web server [03:53] cappicard: thanks I will give it a shot then... [03:53] but not the usb part [03:53] Blue1, now i want to make that an actual web server domain so anyone can view it [03:53] zachary: what do you mean by "localhost web server?" [03:54] my e260 is v1 [03:54] Blue1, i mean 127.0.0.1 [03:54] I use xubuntu 10.04(but I removed XFCE and installed OpenBox). I have a problem with sound. Alsamixer shows at least 2 sound cards but I have no sound and all of programs that use alsa can not detect any sound cards. can anyone help me? [03:54] trying out guayadeque [03:54] like what I see so far [03:54] how do you copy a directory in terminal [03:54] zachary: you'd use apache2 - but many isp's block incomingg http port 80 requests - -my isp does... [03:55] whee. time to run subversion. [03:55] zachary: you can host on liquenox for $2.75/month -- has all the goodies [03:56] I use xubuntu 10.04(but I removed XFCE and installed OpenBox). I have a problem with sound. Alsamixer shows at least 2 sound cards but I have no sound and all of programs that use alsa can not detect any sound cards. can anyone help me? [03:56] Blue1, if my isp blocks 80 then what can i do? [03:56] ah, looks like this build may take a while [03:56] did you check alsamixer, nitnatsnok? [03:56] zachary, if it's a major ISP, probably not. [03:56] zachary: you'd have to use a nonstandard port like 8080 for example... [03:56] McLinux, of course [03:56] Blue1, yeah i know i can host somewhere - i spend $1k a month on hosting - i just want to be able to have my box viewable on the web for my developers to view notes, screenshots [03:56] cappicard: cox blocks incoming http traffic [03:56] nitnatsnok: did you check that none of the outputs are muted / turned all the way down? [03:56] cappicard, i think my isp is a major one. Insight in Kentucky?? [03:56] Blue1, oh yeah. i used to have cox cable [03:57] McLinux, of course :D [03:57] zachary: yeah google apache2 server install... [03:57] Blue1, is it easy to change the port? i will install Apache2 now [03:57] zachary, try another port. [03:57] McLinux, I'm not fool [03:57] cappicard, ty so much for ur help i am going to install now [03:57] be sure [03:57] Blue1, ty so much for ur help i am going to install now [03:57] zachary: usually other port is 8080 however [03:57] or even 8888 [03:58] hello [03:58] add [03:58] help [03:58] zachary: you might want a lamp system (linux-apache-mysql-php) you can do a lot with that [03:58] i need help with a sd card that fdisk and gparted will not pick up [03:58] nitnatsnok: i didn't call you a fool. now check if you have gnome-vol-control [03:58] Blue1, i thought LAMP was isntalled with my localhost [03:58] In the old days you had .login to do things in your login shell that you woudln't do in every .cshrc. What do we do now for things like that? [03:58] zachary: not on my system... [03:59] McLinux, I don't have it [03:59] Blue1, what constitutes a localhost setup on ubuntu? [03:59] Blue1, sorry i'm confused [03:59] nitnatsnok: what app are you using to adjust your vol? [03:59] BentFranklin: ssh authentication http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=252 [04:00] Blue1, still building. least I'm not building X itself. LOL [04:00] I once build XFree86 on a K6-2 350 with 32MB of ram. took me 8 1/2 hours for it to build! [04:00] zachary: well again depends on what you are trying to do, for web stuph, if that's all you want apache2 -- but the other stuff are nice addons -- do apache then add on.... [04:00] s/build/built/ [04:00] so why is guyadeque adding songs randomly? [04:01] McLinux, alsamixer [04:01] McLinux: cause you didn't tellit differently [04:01] McLinux, gvolwheel [04:01] Blue1, i thought if i had localhost running i had LAMP already on my system [04:01] Blue1, then it would be the task of just publishing it to the web [04:01] zachary: apache, mysql, and php did NOT come pre-installed on my system. [04:01] ah, play random tracks [04:01] that hsould prob be off by default-- its a little annoying. ;) [04:02] Blue1, so just install LAMP server on my system. but what do i do to make it publishable/viewable on web? [04:02] hello [04:03] i need help with a sd card that fdisk and gparted will not pick up but is pick up in dmesg [04:03] McLinux, but I can't adjust vol because I have no sound [04:03] zachary: there is no lamp server - each component, apache, mysql, php, must be installed seperately [04:04] I installed ubuntu but when I boot it i guess unbuntu doesn't ready my tv sreen. is there anyway i can fix this problem... [04:04] Blue1, seems like here i can do it all? http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/570-install-lamp-with-1-command-in-ubuntu-910 [04:04] zachary: the great thing about linux is, that you are your own system administrator - the worst thing about linux is, you are your own system administrator [04:05] hmm... i'm getting alot of build errors. [04:05] guayadeque/src/wxsqlite3/wxsqlite3.cpp:222: error: ‘SQLITE_IOERR_READ’ was not declared in this scope [04:05] zachary: good call. I didn't know it had changed - last time I played with that was 9.04 [04:05] I use xubuntu 10.04(but I removed XFCE and installed OpenBox). I have a problem with sound. Alsamixer shows at least 2 sound cards but I have no sound and all of programs that use alsa can not detect any sound cards. can anyone help me? [04:06] Blue1, cool. going to run that and then see what i have to do to make it viewable on web [04:06] cappicard: what version of ubuntu are you using? [04:06] Blue1, once i change port to whatever it should be do i just type in my IP to view the files? [04:06] cappicard: also did you install all the precursors? [04:07] cappicard: recipe heere: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=174 [04:07] 10.04.1 [04:07] MrPrinny: outcome? [04:07] i followed it to a T [04:07] cappicard: you don't just install guayadeque lots of stuff before that... [04:07] i know. [04:08] i did the prerequisites. === drew is now known as Guest32384 [04:08] cappicard: can you pastebin the output? [04:08] let me try again. [04:09] hey is there a thing like logmein on ubuntu [04:09] i tried sudo apt-get install libsqlite-dev in addition to that first line [04:09] cappicard: pastebin the output - -maybe we can figure it out [04:10] ok. let me see if i get that error again [04:12] how do I stop the creation of ~/.cache upon login? [04:13] Blue1, installing LAMP :) [04:14] how do I stop the creation of ~/.cache upon login? === Guii is now known as kakoi [04:15] zachary: well done - -I'll have to try that... [04:16] Blue1, just installed. now going to try to make it viewable via web [04:16] zachary: excellent [04:16] Blue1, http://pastebin.com/Ez4JzXnk === burr___ is now known as br === br is now known as Guest31291 [04:18] Blue1, fudge hostname and ip addy in browser isn't pulling apache2 [04:18] Success!

[04:19] hello, i have a multiboot os system , will this work on the latest ubuntu? GIGABYTE GV-R583UD-1GD Radeon HD 5830 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card [04:19] sure [04:19] it rocks on windows, but windows dont rock [04:19] !hcl | Joesomebody [04:19] Joesomebody: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:20] Thank you vol7ron, McLinux and KB1JWQ [04:20] cappicard: private message ok? [04:21] Blue1, yep. go for it [04:21] MrPrinny: would your name happen to be derived from a penguin-esque anime character of the same name? [04:21] * kakoi away: [bt] horario: 00:21 [04:22] brvalyntein: Why yes, yes it is. I actually use Prinny for nearly everything, but it's taken on this server. [04:23] that link aint helping , does anyone know the answer? [04:23] Radeon HD 5830 [04:23] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti [04:23] JoeSomebody, You realize you could figure this out easily by inserting the disk into your computer and booting into Preview Mode. [04:24] JoeSomebody, If it's not supported, you'll know right away [04:24] i havent bought it yet, kinda need to know first [04:24] if my IP or host name is not pulling up my webserver on my computer what should i do? [04:24] JoeSomebody, Oh! You don't have that computer yet? [04:25] itI WILL work on the other OSes [04:25] Baesball Famer Johnson Died today :( [04:25] have computer, upgrading video [04:25] windows will like it, but thats not enough [04:25] hi [04:26] so i need to know to make a purchase decision [04:27] JoeSomebody, Looking... [04:28] JoeSomebody, It's compatiable [04:28] MrPrinny: i've only ever seen a poster of the character, and took a wild guess [04:28] cypher-neo thanks [04:29] JoeSomebody, There might be a couple issues with video at extremely high resolutions [04:29] JoeSomebody, But those reports that I saw were several years old. [04:29] i don`t need the highest res [04:29] JoeSomebody, All the current reports say everything should work [04:29] right on [04:30] How can I access higher screen resolutions than what is on the list? I usually run at 1440x900 but the max i get is 1280x1024 [04:30] my current video is an nvidia 512 mb, ubuntu likes it but its time for a bigger card [04:31] Hi I have a question I tried to lookup and look around on but couldn't find exactly what I wanted to do.... Can you mount a drive in windows so the C:Documents and Settings\ stuff is stored in a seperate partition [04:31] ati is the better buy right now (i think) === jth is now known as Guest56239 [04:31] I am kinda stuck on this before I setup the rest of windows to then setup ubuntu [04:32] C_Okie: sort of. You can install windows itself on D, but the Documents and Settings will be by default in C. [04:32] * cypher-neo thinks Windows is retarded... === Daltx is now known as Guest21571 [04:32] Any help with aircrack? pvt message me [04:32] i have no sound and sound controller for gnome wont detect any audio devices. i tried to get modules for ubuntu-audio-dev ppa but i already had a pae kernel so that did not work [04:32] Is there anyone here who could help me? [04:33] Nope [04:33] Threten: I am sure there is. [04:33] youre on your onw fucking faggot [04:33] :o [04:33] i had tried upgrading alsa. [04:33] Gander, watch the language [04:33] C_Okie: I'm confused why you would wan't it set that way before you can install ubuntu [04:33] thats where i lost detection of audio [04:33] fRoMdOwNyOnDeR, what are you trying to do. explain [04:33] o [04:34] Could someone assist me with an internet connectivity problem? [04:34] Threten, Describe the problem. I'll try. [04:34] Becaue I dont know how mounting to a windows ntfs partition works for ubuntu and what I need to do pbarros barros: [04:35] how do i do a md5 check sum again? [04:35] C_Okie: you can mount to a windows ntfs partition just fine in Ubuntu. [04:35] hi all, can someone help me with Openldap? I installed the package but dpkg-configure never ask me to set up an admin password [04:36] brvalyntein: Lucky guess, heh. [04:36] Well until recently I hadn't been able to get my PCI network card to work, but I did. Afterwards, I saw a recommendation to disable IPv6, and somewhere, while I was editing sysctl.conf, something got changed that makes it so internet pages dont load (even though I appear connected), and even my USB WiFi plugin wont fix the issue (it previously worked). [04:37] I am on my Windows hard drive right now, because I cannot connect to anything on Ubuntu. [04:37] MrPrinny: My friends call me Sherlock due to my uncanny ability to figure things out, if only they knew how often i guessed x] [04:37] So IF I want to store the data ( in C:\Documents and Settings\ ) I'd need to install it in D: [04:37] Threten, Give me a couple minutes. Let me look up some stuff... [04:38] Alright thank you. === MrPrinny is now known as Prinny [04:38] brbr [04:39] bye [04:39] bye and fuck off [04:40] gander: no need for the language [04:42] Threten, All right... let's give this a try [04:42] ok what folders are the book marks only for chromium and firefox? i dont care about the settings but i need to copy and paste these into a thumb drive [04:42] Threten, Open a Terminal window, and type in: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:42] Threten, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:42] Alright. [04:43] Im going to write this down, Im on my Windows partition because Ubuntu wont let me connect. [04:43] Threten, That should in theory in wipe all the settings from the Network Manager and restore it to the state as if it were a fresh install. [04:44] zus: look in the hidden folder .mozilla in your home directory [04:44] Alright. And that includes the files I changed? [04:44] Threten, I think so... [04:44] so........ [04:45] i often log into my server and ifstat tells me there is f.e 100kb in or outgoing traffic. Is there a beautiful console command i can use to quickly see WHAT that traffic consists of (pop,http,ssh,..,)? I know iftop and trafshow, am wondering if there is something better. [04:45] Ok. I will try to do that. [04:45] Threten, I'm hoping you can try this soon. It's almost midnight here, so I can hang around for about 30 more minutes before i log off to sleep. [04:45] Thank you! [04:45] whoami [04:45] ill be back asap [04:45] Threten, Log back in and tell me how it goes. :) [04:45] how do I share a directory on a removable drive? [04:46] sharing works fine on everything else except removable drives [04:47] I'm not too sure, adelcampo. The only removable drive I've shared is connected to my Windows box and all I had to do was ensure I enabled sharing on it. [04:47] (I know, it's not much help, but I didn't want you to think that no one was reading your question.) [04:48] Prinny, that's what it seems like should happen. gnome apparently sets the wrong umask and that won't allow me to share external drives [04:48] hello === Thomas__ is now known as ThomasB2k [04:48] cool thanks Prinny [04:48] overrider: have you tried netstat? [04:48] quit [04:49] hello === XPCLIENT_ is now known as lyhux [04:50] test [04:51] pbarros: ya, its not what im looking for [04:51] does ubuntu or even linux have a way to print bank checks like with E13-B MICR fonts? I think I found the font just need something that will print one check. [04:53] Hi Im back. [04:53] Threaten, And? [04:54] Threaten, Any good news? [04:54] Well I did it, and it returned the response "Ignoring uknown interface wlan1=wlan1" [04:54] So it did NOT work... [04:54] pbarros, by pasting the folders the browser gets all my book marks, i would still have to redown load read it later though right? [04:55] Well the good news is is that Im on a laptop so I dont have to switch my OS every time I need to talk to you. [04:55] pbarros, or will the readit later add on be there [04:55] Threaten, Other than the network reset I gave you, I'm at a loss. That should have completely restored your network settings to default. [04:55] Threaten, Did you try to fire up the network after the reset? [04:56] Threaten, It might establish your connection through another point than wlan1 [04:56] I did actually, and it seemed to work but then it disconnected and is not reconnecting. [04:56] Darn [04:56] :( [04:56] Is there any steps for it to make wlan1 "known"? [04:56] Threaten, So... we're halfway there. [04:57] ok well thats good. [04:57] Threaten, Unless it means that it's a hidden network... I have no clue. [04:57] how can i determine my ctcp version? [04:57] Well its not hidden. The network is seen, and everything. Just wont connect. [04:58] What about restoring just the file i changed? [04:58] i need help reformating an sd card , i use fdisk and it gets stuck formating and gparted springs and error about it lable not being reconized [04:58] but it gets picked up in dmesg [04:58] i just setup my 100mbit line need to test my inet line i need alot of people to wget http://evilbox.ath.cx/pub/iso/systemrescuecd-x86-1.5.8.iso [04:58] zus: I didn't understand your last two questions. Are you just trying to backup your bookmarks from firefox? [04:59] I'm trying to debug a segfault in a program; I've installed the corresponding *-dbg and get a backtrace in gdb with function names, but no source filenames/line numbers. is there a way to get those without rebuilding the package? [04:59] Threaten, Hmmm [04:59] pbarros, yeah i essentially yes, but i had addons and was wondering if they travel too if i were to drop this folder on my other machine [05:00] Threaten, Are you using Lucid? [05:00] overrider: are you trying to do packet sniffing or just see what kinds of current connections are on the machine? [05:00] Yes. Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Linux x84 [05:01] Threaten, Well, the only other thing I can think to do would be to reinstall the network manager itself. [05:01] Threaten: what is it that you changed to disable ipv6? If I recall at one time I did that by rename of some file in the kernel. [05:01] siang ubuntu.. [05:01] I looked it up on Google, and there was something you need to change in /etc/sysctl.conf [05:02] How would I go about re-installing the network manager? [05:02] Threaten, Open Synaptic and look for the "network-manager-gnome" and "network-manager" packages. Mark them for reinstallation. [05:02] Threaten, Apparently your Googling is better than mine [05:02] Threaten: oh ok, I don't know how that could break anything. [05:04] I followed this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu-1004.html [05:04] threaten: well you could just look at all your networking values with ifconfig, iwconfig, route and the values that are in the /etc/resolve.conf file. pastebin all that and let us see it. [05:04] ok [05:05] Threaten, Why do you need to disable IPv6? [05:05] I think I saw it in the Ubuntu Help, and read that it speeds up your internet as it is not supported well. [05:05] I've never heard of v6 slowing down a connection before. And disabling it at a system level can sometimes lead to weird issues. [05:06] posting on pastebin now [05:06] Threaten: Was this the article you saw? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [05:07] But, meh... Threaten, sacarlson can help you with this hopefully. I'm going to bed. Good luck with your problem. [05:07] zus: yes, I believe it should. but you should only need the "mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default" folder as that is the folder with all your bookmarks and extensions [05:07] sacarlson: www.pastebin.org/570205 [05:07] the realtek one is what im trying to use [05:07] THANKS A TON cypher-neo [05:07] I really appreciate it. [05:07] what about the crhome one? [05:07] Threaten: the last one you sent is blank [05:08] pbarros, and for google chromium? [05:08] sacarlson Ill try again. Sorry [05:08] how can i mount a truecrypt drive that's on a samba share? [05:09] sacarlson http://pastebin.org/570205 === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [05:09] Threaten: oh realtek wifi? I think that is your problem. try use wire cat5 cable and see if your system works wired. [05:09] Use what? [05:09] <_BEAST> lol [05:10] cat5 is the "standard" ethernet cable. [05:10] This is a desktop computer with a Realtek NIC installed in the PCI. [05:11] Threaten: but all that in paste 570205 look good [05:11] okay. [05:11] Ill try rebooting now. [05:12] Threaten: looks to have asosiated to your accesspoint. you got a ip address from dhcp ok. [05:12] Threaten: can you ping your gateway address 10.0.0.1 ? [05:13] scarlson, yes I can. [05:13] threaten: oh I don't see the resolve.conf file [05:13] scarlson, is that an issue? [05:14] Threaten: were is the pastebin of /etc/resolve.conf ? [05:14] i need to make one [05:15] zus: for google chrome look in ".config/google-chrome/Default" under your home directory. I've stopped using google chrome so not sure if that is still correct [05:15] Apparently there is no file called resolve.conf [05:15] ada yang dari indonesia ga neh? [05:15] Nevermind. [05:16] Threaten: sorry typeo on my side /etc/resolv.conf [05:16] sacarlson, it is extremely short. # Generated by NetworkManager nameserver 10.0.0.1 [05:17] Threaten: ok can you ping google.com === sshc_ is now known as sshc [05:17] sacarlson, yes I can. [05:18] Threaten: ok your online [05:18] It seems that stuff like this is working, but I cannot install any packages. [05:18] And I disconnect and reconnect a lot. [05:18] My Lucid just stopped booting. Freezes hard (only power button works) at Ubuntu logo before X login. Any help? [05:18] Threaten: ok that's probly your realtek wifi device. [05:18] Does anyone know what the fix in the 10.04.1? [05:19] alright. anything I can do to improve that? [05:19] pbarros, thank you [05:19] Threaten: can you browse in like firefox? [05:20] Threaten: what error do you get in package install. did you try apt-get update ? [05:20] pbarros, im thinking on going Kubuntu and dont know how my home folder will react to KDE from Gnome. [05:20] ombilin/sajadah mendukung intel GMA 500 ga gan? alnya laptop saya acer aspire one 1,33 GHz Intel GMA 500 hdd 250 gb ram 2 gb.. saya sudah pernah nyoba ubuntu dari 9.04 ampe 10.04 LTS, semuanya pasti pake resolusi 1024x768, yang harusnya khan 1366x768 fit on screen, kalo pake driver dari poulsbo ppa intel gma 500 bisa koq, tapi masalahnya kadang output videonya ngblank atu yang lebih parah lagi sound hilang padahal saya sudah install ubuntu-res [05:20] tricted-extras? karena masalah koneksi di tempat saya, saya ga bisa akses download ombilin, bisa ga blankon pake cara shipit dari ubuntu??

[05:21] Threaten: well that could be the package server. [05:21] qqq [05:21] Threaten: you can change to another mirror site [05:22] Threaten: how is the browser working? [05:22] sacarlson okay. Thank you. How do I do that? [05:22] and the browser is not working. [05:22] I am still disconnecting. This same NIC doesn't disconnect like this in Windows though. [05:22] Threaten: then try ping google.com again also what site is not working did you try other sites in firefox? [05:22] well i tried google... [05:23] Threaten: so network is down now? ping yahoo.com? [05:23] Lucid locks up at logo before X login. Any ideas for diagnozsing and fixing this? [05:23] i am still trying to reconnect to my network. [05:24] zus: not sure there since I don't use Kubuntu. I can't see it being to much of a problem though. But just remember that firefox always generates a different name for the profile folder [05:24] !autofs [05:24] Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [05:24] This laptop im using to talk to you is on the same network, and hasnt lost connection yet. [05:24] Hi, is anyone here a CISSP by any chance? [05:24] I'm using apt-get in a script with no terminal attached, and it spews debug info about not being able to use frontends (dialog, then readline, then finally decides to go with teletype). How can I give it a default frontend to avoid all that [05:25] You'll need to paste the contents of the backed'up profile folder into the new one that firefox creates. Or use the backup/import feature built into firefox [05:25] sacarlson, I can ping yahoo. [05:25] Now that I reconnected [05:25] Threaten: well your most likly suspect is the realtek wifi device they have a history. so I would try wired to verify that is the case. if wire works then I would look at posibly install of anther wifi driver or try another kernel. [05:25] Hi, I've tried it yesterday, but got no answer. So I'll try my luck once more. I've recently formatted ext. hdd seagate and I'm not able to set the permissions for more users (in whatever format -ext3,4,ntfs) - nothing works. Google is also somehow not useful. Please.. [05:25] oh [05:25] pbarros, i did not know that. i know readi it later keeps my bookmarks on web. neat little addon i cant use FF without it. have it for chrome as well but i dont like chromes lookf and feel for it, i dont trsut it. [05:25] another wifi driver? [05:26] Threaten: is ping slow? if slow what is slow the look up of the name to number (called DNS)? [05:26] !indonesia | Arulida [05:26] Arulida: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [05:26] my laptop has 0% battery left right now [05:26] why is it still on? [05:26] ubuntu's battery detection is kinda wack on this laptop [05:27] Well pinging yahoo.com takes 76ms [05:27] ai [05:27] Threaten: well first you need to verify that wifi is the fault and yes if so upgrade the wifi driver note sometimes older drivers are better than new ones also [05:27] hello [05:27] sacarlson, it also varies, it went down to 36ms, then up to 136ms [05:27] So i could find an updated driver and install that? [05:28] Threaten: those numbers are good [05:28] Threaten: maybe try wget some file and verify the problem is not in the browser? [05:28] and its still ok that I can't browse? im connected and pinging yahoo but I cant get to google.com [05:28] How do I verify that? [05:29] hi all, i have a ubuntu server question: is this the place to ask it? I have a mediawiki server running on my server and i want to provide SFTP access to a directory with authentication based on the mediawiki username and password - is there a way to do this? how do i do it [05:29] well i can connect with google chrome [05:29] Threaten: well first you need to find a file online that you want the wget http://thesite.com/thefile.something [05:30] Threaten: oh so chrome is working? [05:30] my laptop has 0% battery life right now, how can I recalibrate the ubuntu battery system? [05:31] yes chrome will load pages [05:31] Threaten: ok so firefox is broken not your network [05:31] I installed ubuntu on a separate partition on my harddrive..but I don't want it anymore how do I uninstall it? [05:31] okay. so if i re installed firefox, it would work? [05:32] Threaten: I'm not sure what's wrong with your firefox. but you could give that a try. oh maybe start a new account and login to it and run firefox in it. it could be you changed some config in firefox that broke it. [05:33] okay. will i be able to restore things using the install disk as well? [05:33] Threaten: I don't know. I always have connection when I install [05:34] okay. thank you for your patience, but I have to go now. [05:34] thanks for helping [05:34] TheAnswer: no problem at least you part way there [05:35] i left fdisk reformating an sd card it has been going for 2 hours straight i think somthing is wrong [05:35] jellow, how big is the the card? [05:35] coz_: 8 gb [05:35] mmm [05:35] um so is it possible to uninstall ubuntu from my harddrive? [05:36] Soma_Cruz, sure it is [05:36] I can see a flash of an error message on boot, just before GUI shows up. How can I see this error message? [05:36] question is.. why would you want to uninstall ubuntu? [05:36] jellow, this one i am not sure of you may want to go to the ##linux channel and check there [05:36] Soma_Cruz: yes it is. do you also have another partition with windows on it? [05:36] Yes I do pbarros [05:36] I can see a flash of an error message on boot, just before GUI shows up. How can I see this error message? [05:36] and I'm giving my laptop to my father and he's more of windows perons [05:37] Soma_Cruz, try foing into windows and format the linux paritions or delete it [05:37] sorry, didnt mean to duplicate message [05:37] nimbiotics, andything smb2 [05:38] nimbiotics, did you see any part of the error message [05:38] hi all [05:38] just curious though..wouldn't that mess up the grub loader? [05:38] coz: he may still have problems with the grub loader though [05:39] coz_: only the word error [05:39] <_pg__> I dont have a cursor anymore! even after I blasted it my install and now from a live cd i still dont have a cursor! Ive tried 4 mice! what can i DO? [05:39] nimbiotics, "error probing smb2" maybe? [05:39] coz_: the issue with samba you mean? getting more complicated by the minute [05:39] Wow, Ubuntu starts up quickly. [05:39] I like the coloring of the grep output, too. [05:40] ok I'll delete the partitions.. [05:40] coz_: i cant remember the word i saw, but it sound more like an issue with a drive [05:40] nimbiotics, oh ok ah not sure you could try pause break to see if it sticks that screen [05:40] Yeah my ubuntu loads in about 7 seconds [05:40] nimbiotics: have you tried "ctrl-alt-f1" while it's booting? [05:40] also check dmesg [05:40] Windows 7, about 20 seconds === artinfrieden is now known as artin [05:41] _pg_, whoa that is not good [05:41] hi guys, could someone tell me which software I could download to record audio on my pc? [05:41] _pg_, is it a usb mouse? [05:41] pmarch, like real recording maybe ardour [05:41] pmarch, or do you mean from a mic? [05:41] ok coz [05:41] I'm new here on linx [05:41] pmarch the software center usually has something good [05:42] !manual | pmarch [05:42] pmarch: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [05:42] pmarch, ok do you want to record from an instrument or a microphone? [05:42] no from whatever is playing on my system in audio... website sounds [05:42] pmarch, ah ,,,,,mmmm [05:42] Ok thanks a lot [05:42] pbarros: its not while booting but after grub [05:42] pmarch, hold on [05:42] k [05:43] pmarch, look for sound recorder under sound and video [05:43] pmarch, I believe that can capture suond on the system [05:43] Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has used the maverick kernel backports with lucid? [05:44] This kubuntu for netbook is very different than what I used to see in ubuntu previous versions [05:44] pmarch, Applications/ Sound and video/ sound recorder [05:44] pmarch, oh you are on kde === nimbiotics_ is now known as nimbiotics [05:44] yep [05:44] Stupid question but which file and where do i edit to change my shell to only show the directory i am in and not the entire path [05:44] pmarch, hold on [05:44] pmarch: hi i use kubuntu netbook [05:44] Next time I will download ubuntu [05:44] it's more user friendly [05:44] nimbiotics: but after grub should be during the boot process [05:44] pmarch: what are you trying to find? [05:45] oh something so I could record audio from the web [05:45] streaming audio [05:45] Stupid question but which file and where do i edit to change my shell to only show the directory i am in and not the entire path [05:45] Had a storm here knocked out my modem for a bit, along with my computer..tried to call home but wife doesn't know where to find the power button. Anyway spent almost two hours in Windows 7 reconfiguring my modem..Ubuntu never even missed a beat, booted correctly first time. [05:45] pmarch: hmm...is that something mplayer can do? [05:45] don't know at all [05:46] sorry I'm new to linux [05:46] getting old I guess [05:46] lol [05:46] pmarch: http://fosswire.com/post/2008/03/save-streaming-audio-and-video-as-a-file-with-mplayer/ [05:46] Someone gave me an HP touchsmart PC and I'm having trouble getting the display to work. It's a touchscreen (which does work) but the computer always boots into low graphics mode or not at all. I've tried the restricted nVidia drivers to no avail. Any suggestions? Google and the troubleshooting docs have thus far been unhelpful. [05:46] Which file and where do i edit to change my shell to only show the directory i am in and not the entire path [05:46] pmarch: a radio stream? [05:46] mmm [05:46] pbarros: guess u r rite, in just too tired of fighting with samba. will boot again and see what happens [05:46] Sevith: your ~/.bashrc i think [05:46] I'm reaching out for a life-line. Lucid stopped booting. Freezes before login screen. [05:47] The thing is in flash [05:47] so all I can do really is to record the audio that plays on the computer [05:47] pmarch: might wanna check for a flash-got plugin for your browser [05:47] In pc world, it would be coming out from 'what you hear' [05:47] HP has some specific drivers for their touch screen. is the device manager showing the driver? [05:47] bye [05:47] yep, that was my second question [05:47] :( [05:47] Sevith: see the PROMPT_COMMAND definition in there? [05:48] maco, ok [05:48] sudo apt-get install flash? [05:48] maco, im looking right now [05:48] Sevith: I think that is in your .bashrc file [05:48] let me check for flash-got [05:48] brb [05:48] thanks a lot gys [05:48] guys [05:48] pmarch, well sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras if you want flash [05:48] I get the errors, "configuration found but no screens present", "You have an unusual laptop display, please report it", kernel panic --not syncing, attempted to kill init", "You don't appear to be using the nVidia xserver, as root type nvidia-xconfig" I can't figure this out and why is it always something different? [05:48] pmarch, but that will also pull icedtea and I am not sure you want that [05:49] maco, Negative not in the bashrc [05:49] hey coz I removed the partitions like you said [05:49] pbarros, Negative not in bashrc [05:49] ok coz [05:49] for flash? [05:49] Soma_Cruz, ok and were you able to boot into window also [05:49] ah no.. [05:49] Why can't I enable advanced desktop effect in Ubuntu 10.04 when I have a decent graphics card? [05:49] it won't boot anymore lol [05:49] pmarch, yeah that will bring down adobe flash [05:49] Soma_Cruz, oh [05:49] what's wrong with icedtea? [05:50] I've worked on them with Windows 7 but not in Linux..have you checked the HP website to see if they have any support for Linux? [05:50] Soma_Cruz, xp vist or windows 7? [05:50] SealedWithAKiss, do you have the proprietary drivers for your graphics card installed? [05:50] vista [05:50] I have xp [05:50] SealedWithAKiss: what your graphic card [05:50] Ok let me download the restricted-extras first [05:50] brb [05:50] ThomasB2k, I am using drivers that I obtained from the AMD website. [05:50] Soma_Cruz, do you stll have the xp installation disk? [05:50] N4ck0, ATI Radeon HD 4670. [05:51] Yes I do...I gotta reinstall I'm guessing? [05:51] Soma_Cruz, if you still have the installation disk then look here to recover the bool lader for xp http://www.ehow.com/how_4891476_reinstall-xp-bootloader.html [05:51] Sevith: hmm... you are talking about your shell in terminal right? let me look at mine [05:51] ThomasB2k, the basic drivers that Ubuntu installs were not allowing me to enable to advanced effects, that's why I decided to download and install the ones from AMD. [05:51] pbarros, Yes [05:52] SealedWithAKiss, what about the ones in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [05:52] pbarros, I seen the PS1 Var right at the begging but it wont let me edit the var...where does it store PS1? [05:52] ok I'll give that a shot [05:52] Soma_Cruz, that should work well.... I would just write everything down there so you have it on hand [05:52] ok [05:53] ThomasB2k, is displays the FGLRX driver which is currently disabled. [05:53] pmarch, did you find something? [05:53] hmm [05:53] coz, I had to install my kubuntu here from windoze and I noticed that it didn't create me a ext 3 or ext 4 file system [05:53] I don't know, sorry :/ [05:53] which is most popular email service ...yahoo,gmail,aol or hotmail? [05:53] coz it's downloading the extras [05:53] right now [05:53] gmail, abhinav [05:54] pmarch, ok is this a wubi install ? [05:54] hhelo how you doing? [05:54] pmarch, is this a laptop or desktop? [05:54] it's a netbook .. small laptop [05:54] pmarch, ok that makes sense :) [05:55] pmarch: you used Wubi? [05:55] what is wubi? [05:55] wubi is the "windows program style" ubuntu [05:55] pmarch, a way to install ubuntu onto a windows disk instead of its own partition essentially [05:55] i have a question, if i install maverick alpha-3 when comes out the final vercion of ubuntu do i will to install ubuntu again? [05:55] Ubuntu will actually install itself as a Windows program [05:56] exactly [05:56] songer: yes [05:56] No songer [05:56] hmm? [05:56] songer, if you are wise yes...you want to download the actual release version [05:56] sorry, no songer [05:56] I guess ubuntu would run faster if installed in its own native file system, right?\ [05:56] because this isn't very fast... [05:56] pmarch, most likely and you would probably be much happier with it :) [05:56] Songer, it'd be better if you did install Ubuntu again. Apt upgrades don't always work too well. [05:56] I have 2 GB [05:56] coz_: there will be no difference between installing from -final media and updating an alpha [05:57] Unfortunately, I get errors when I do install it the normal way [05:57] mnemon, my experience since day one counters that but ok [05:57] jimlovell777 I was able to look this link up about the touchsmart..maybe it'll help with your issue http://www.touchsmartdevzone.com/article/1940/How-To-Install-Linux-on-HP-TouchSmart-tx2-1250/ [05:57] pmarch, ah ok [05:57] I'll try to download the ubuntu version for netbook [05:57] pmarch, do you remember any of the errors? [05:57] *Apt upgrades don't always work well if you're doing a dist upgrade, or even upgrading a lot of software. [05:57] maybe there's just bugs in kubuntu [05:57] Of course there's bugs in Kubuntu [05:57] mmm well, there were two [05:57] There's bugs in all Linux [05:58] i cant hear audio out of my rear two speakers. i have a sound blaster live card with 4.1 output [05:58] pmarch, if you download the cd make sure you check the disk for erros and also burn it at the slowest speed preferably 1x if possible [05:58] the first one was that I had to remove my pendrive out before going to the next step [05:58] otherwise the installation would hang at 47% [05:58] Sevith: look for a line in .bashrc that has this "PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ " [05:58] Sevith: ah its the PS1 variable [05:58] I don't even have a CD rom here [05:58] flowbee, open a terminal.... alsmixer make sure non sliders are off or muted if muted hit the keyboard lower case "m" to unmute [05:58] ok ask because i', going to install ubuntu or xubuntu to my friend but almost the final maverick is coming out so [05:59] Would this be the right place to ask advice about how to get the xvid codec to run in chrome for Linux? [05:59] I have to install from pendrive [05:59] pbarros, Yeah I found it but mine is a bit different I just commented out a few things and am messing with it now :) Thx [05:59] Sevith: oh you found that out already [05:59] change the lower case "w" to an uppercase W [05:59] Ok but it could be a good lead. Thanks [05:59] pbarros: too slow? [05:59] pmarch, ah ok sorry [05:59] And finally the other error was very extensive [05:59] yep :D [05:59] oh well id been wondering this a while too [05:59] it told me sorry but the install crashed essentially [06:00] mm [06:00] songer: Maverick is not stable at all right now. It's probably not a good idea to give it to your friend, unless you and/or him really enjoy fixing broken stuff. [06:00] songer: There's a reason why it isn't released yet :) [06:00] songer: You can upgrade easily from Ubuntu or Xubuntu to later distros [06:00] If I install the FGLX package in the 10.4 repos can I expect a sucky experience with my Radeon X1900 XT? [06:01] FGLRX* [06:01] Is it possible to connect to an OpenSSH server and share the VPN over wifi? [06:01] s/OpenSSH/OpenVPN [06:01] etherealite, not sure about ati but I can show you the readout we use for compiz ... For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver. [06:02] pmarch, I have "no" experience with netbooks at all [06:02] pmarch, I have installe kubuntu netbook on my desktop a few times but that is a differetn procedure [06:02] coz_ thank you, the flash is working good! [06:02] thanks [06:02] ok [06:02] keith: thanks I'll give it a read. [06:03] Some_Person: I would say yes. but is the vpn server on the internet of is is local? my local experience I found some complications in the local side. [06:03] coz_ whats the word on using the open source driver with an older card (2004 X1900 XT) [06:03] hi you all! [06:03] sacarlson: internet [06:04] etherealite, ` not really sure... I know far too little about ati to suggest anything other than that one post.... you could ask in #radeon channel though [06:04] Some_Person: then sure why not? [06:04] coz_ thanx [06:04] etherealite, no problem [06:05] . [06:05] coz_ so now, which apt would you suggest I download to record the flash audio? [06:06] etherealite: actually with the older ati cards the opens source drivers are your only option now in 10.04 [06:06] from what I understand [06:06] It would be nice if I could have the ability to stop recording after 1 or 2 hours automatically [06:06] pmarch, well again not sure.... I believe kubuntu netbook uses konqueror for a browser yes??/ [06:07] coz_ yes you are right but I downloaded chrome [06:07] works much better [06:07] hello [06:07] pmarch, it should yes but I dont know of any chrom plugins that will allow recording.... [06:07] mmm ok [06:07] so it is browser related [06:08] what this mean? "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" [06:08] hello. i'm having trouble getting ldap to run. i'm getting the error " failed startup". config is at http://pastebin.com/5RaRkFws anybody have any ideas? [06:08] pmarch, well for me ... I use video downloahelper for firefox [06:08] I thought I could just download anything and it will record whatever plays on my ctr === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [06:08] pmarch, but firefox on netbook would probably be painfully slow [06:08] itsux2bu: it is post install configuration,nothing to worry about [06:08] I don't think so... [06:08] let me check it out [06:08] will your software record only the audio tooo [06:09] pmarch, I hate to say this but google kubuntu desktop sound recording [06:09] coz_ Would your applet record the audio only? [06:09] Can anyone help with properly installing a Hauppauge HVR-2200MCE on Ubuntu 64bit? [06:09] pmarch, ah I havent tried that let me check hold on [06:09] Terminus: you may try also at #ldap [06:09] coz_ ok thanks [06:09] Has anyone had much luck with any kernels above 2.6.32 with Lucid? [06:10] pmarch: what was wrong with the mplayer link i gave? [06:10] pmarch: it says it does audio & video... [06:10] prince_jammys: thanks.

I know you said you were curious about that with the command prompt [06:13] pbarros: yep i changed it here [06:13] phaedra, maybe vlc would work [06:13] thanks maco, let me check it out === root is now known as Guest33420 [06:13] pmarch, maybe vlc would work [06:13] phaedra, sorry wrong nick === Guest33420 is now known as lyhux [06:14] coz_: ff is pretty heavy for a netbook but not too awful... i can run ff, kmail, quassel all at once without using all the ram [06:14] coz_: well then again i have 2 gb... that does get it pretty close to 1 for the load avg though [06:14] maco, ok cool [06:14] oh yes vlc [06:15] coz_: i dont have 50 tabs open on here like i do on the main laptop, but 10? sure [06:15] pmarch, look here also http://www.seoras.com/2008/05/26/how-to-record-streaming-audio-with-audacity-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron/ [06:15] coz_ yes VLC good idea [06:15] pmarch, try that link also for audacity [06:15] apt-get install vlc? [06:15] pmarch, that should work yes [06:15] pmarch, but also read that link http://www.seoras.com/2008/05/26/how-to-record-streaming-audio-with-audacity-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron/ [06:15] pmarch, its an older post though [06:15] don't forget the sudo in front of it! ;) [06:16] pmarch, yes please sudo apt-get install vlc [06:16] pmarch, forget about audacity that is not kde application [06:16] the suggestion from maco doesn't have a gui, it's all old style [06:17] tomorrow I think I will try to install ubuntu for netbook instead [06:17] Question, How do I get video codecs I install (ex. xvid) to work with my web browsers? [06:17] coz_: does it matter whether its a kde app? i use terminator & pidgin, and i'm a kde user/fan [06:17] pmarch, you may want to go to the #kubuntu channel to see if they have a native application for recording streaming audio on kde [06:17] pmarch: dont like the search & launch? [06:17] maco, well only if you are a purist...personally I use Edubuntu because it uses both kde and gnome libraies [06:18] libraries [06:18] coz_: i have svn access in kde :P i still prefer some gnome apps though. just use what works, regardless of target-DE [06:18] vlc require a gui?

I'm in VI -- using the -d option -- how do I switch between the side-by-side files? [06:19] ssfdre38: install openssh-server and youll have ssh and sftp acess [06:19] itsux2bu: you can use vlc with cli i believe [06:19] itsux2bu:^^ [06:19] poi77: ctrl+W followed by an arrow key [06:19] maco: Awesome! Thanks! [06:19] and that will make it where i can upload maco? [06:20] poi77: why not get started with an easier editor? vi's learning curve can be steep. [06:20] ssfdre38: yes, just sftp user@machine, put in password, and then "put filename" [06:20] coz_ looks like VLC is only a player, not a recorder [06:20] maco what is search & launch?\ [06:21] pmarch: the menu thing that makes kubuntu netbook different from regular kubuntu... where you have the favourites at top and categories at bottom and a search bar in the middle [06:21] pmarch: vlc can record/stream as well. [06:21] how can i mount a truecrypt drive that's on a samba share? [06:21] Question, How do I get video codecs I install (ex. xvid) to work with my web browsers? [06:21] pmarch, o0 mmm let me check hold on [06:22] what is the sudo to install it to the server? [06:22] ssfdre38: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [06:23] mneptok: true, but once you learn vi it can some times be faster than having to use a mouse to make edits. [06:23] maco oh yes, I hate this search [06:23] mneptok: Any suggestions? [06:23] Hello, I am trying to edit a book for an internet archive in the newest openoffice. Does anybody know if there is a way to turn all italics to STRING and all of the footnotes to [1] FOOTNOTE_HERE ?

[06:23] poi77: it's drop-dead simple to use. [06:23] Xearo: installing them should be enought [06:23] z1lt0id: are you running lucid atm? [06:23] mneptok: Thanks, will look into this!\ [06:23] pmarch, older post but it should offer some insight [06:24] Delvien: That is correct === duanerousselle is now known as saintschmidt [06:24] pmarch: ah well maybe give normal kubuntu UI a try then. systemsettings -> workspace lets you pick between desktop & netbook [06:24] SwedeMike would you mind telling me how to record from VLC? [06:24] z1lt0id: maverick kernels are for 10.10, and not 10.04 as you are using, it would be a bad idea to install them :) [06:25] xangua: I read the INSTALL file and done everything it said including the linking and it said everything was successful and then I go back to the website to watch the xvid movie and it says I still mee the codec [06:25] Delvien: Even though they are backported for the official kernel PPA. Out of curiosity why is it bad to upgrade the kernel? [06:25] pmarch google would be your best friend for that sort of question [06:25] * kakoi voltou: [bt] duração: 2hrs 3mins 58secs [06:25] Hi, I've tried it yesterday, but got no answer. So I'll try my luck once more. I've recently formatted ext. hdd seagate and I'm not able to set the permissions for more users (in whatever format -ext3,4,ntfs) - nothing works. Google is also somehow not useful. Please.. [06:25] poi77: why did you start using VI in the first place? do you have to do most your editing via the command line? [06:26] Xearo: what install file¿ did you install restricted-extras¿ [06:26] z1lt0id: well for one, none of the modules in lucid are built for maverick kernels. You probably would not be able to start X, some drivers, network prolly wouldnt work, etc. === maku`off is now known as maku [06:26] I downloaded the linux codec from xvid.org and done the ./configure, make and make install [06:27] Xearo: did you restart your browser? [06:27] does anyone know why jdk has been removed from repo(10.4)? [06:27] Xearo: and did you do "make install" or "sudo make install"? [06:27] whats a good torrent client for ubuntu? [06:27] sudo make install [06:28] lonejack: good question. I would assume its due to oracle :P [06:28] And yes I restarted my browser [06:28] Aerec, transmission [06:28] Delvien: Ah that is a very good point. Just have to wait till 10.10 to use that kernel build then. I did try a mainline kernel update of .35 and i got some bizarre error messages, mainly with mountall.. it wouldn't mount my drives properly. Must be a Plymouth thing [06:28] And I tried it in Chrome and Firefox [06:28] Aerec, its already installed [06:28] coz_, I'm not stalking you. :) just happen to be back. I've looked at more logs and tried couple things. Lucid still freezes. Do you know what it means that the last kern.log stops hard after load kernel line? [06:28] Aerec: You could try Vuze as well but it is a little bloaty, but tons of fantastic features. [06:28] Aerec: Transmission and Deluge are both good ones. Transmission comes default [06:28] shawnboy, oh man still issues ? yikes [06:28] vuze can suck me === root___ is now known as ubuntu10 [06:28] Aelec: Deluge is good reminds me uTorrent [06:29] utorrent is coming to linux soon btw [06:29] shawnboy, did you reinstall lucid? [06:29] Aelec: If you can wait a bit longer uTorrent will be available for linux [06:29] coz_, I removed nomodeset & apic. no good. [06:29] Delvien: You beat me [06:29] Xearo: uninstall what you have installed and better install: ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:29] Aerec, vuze is not nice :) [06:29] z1lt0id: :) [06:29] <3 utorrent [06:29] Greetings! When trying to use an Audigy SB Live sound card in Lucid, the device is identified, but all I get is static noise. [06:29] nope. hoping to try to rescue this one if possible. [06:29] Any iedas? === Zeike is now known as brandonj [06:29] shawnboy, oh man.... mmm not sure what to say at this point [06:29] LucidFox, did you c heck in alsamixer? [06:30] LucidFox: I find that the inputs are all weird of Sound Blaster cards in Linux [06:30] LucidFox, open a terminal tyep alsamixer [06:30] Delvien, is it no longer free? [06:30] ok, I will try that now [06:30] coz_, ok. well, thought I'd ask. looks like from kern.log a hard freeze is happening when tries to load kernel, but that is way over my head to diagnose. [06:30] LucidFox: But try alsamixer as well, I had to change around my inputs. [06:30] coz_> I have lots and lots of channels in alsamixer [06:30] shawnboy, when does this freeze up on you? [06:30] LucidFox: go to sound options, then the output tab, and play with the "connector" drop down, see if one of those work for you, other than that, make sure you have your volume up past 25% [06:31] LucidFox: With my x-fi the rear and middle speakers are in different inputs compared to windows. I hate getting behind my computer to change that [06:31] LucidFox, same here but make sure none are turned down or muted [06:31] lonejack: I'm not sure if I understand your question [06:31] how can I make a fake reverse to a domain? [06:31] coz_, with Lucid logo in middle of screen. [06:31] porn.com > 127.0.0.1 [06:31] shawnboy, yikes [06:31] *local [06:31] shawnboy, how old is this install? [06:32] coz_, yeah. weird thing is I wasn't doing any "risky" stuff on the system lately. [06:32] Delvien> I don't see any connector dropdown on the output tab [06:32] moskK lets not have any of that please :) [06:32] hi all, can someone help me with getting PAM to authenticate via LDAP in Lucid [06:32] ?? [06:32] shawnboy, did you say this was a fairly new install ? [06:32] does anyone know anything about "RAID 1"? We're having a minor dissagreement here and I think I'm [06:32] LucidFox: it's right below the balance slider [06:32] coz_, Gosh, installed when Lucide officially released, been updating regularly ever since. [06:32] shawnboy, oh ok [06:33] does anyone know anything about "RAID 1"? We're having a minor disagreement here in the office about a technical point (in which i think I'm right) [06:33] shawnboy, mmm do you use PPA 's of any kind? [06:33] reggi_au, not off hand but you could try the ##linux channel :) [06:33] coz_, yes. Trying to remember what PPA's I messed with last. [06:33] Delvien> It's called the Russian word for "Channel", the only options I see there are "No Amplifier" and "Amplifier" === moskK is now known as memelo [06:33] it's set to "Amplifier" now [06:33] cool thanks coz [06:34] coz_, nothing comes to ming specifically from lately. [06:34] shawnboy, gimp ppa maybe? [06:34] shawnboy, xorg-edgers ppa? [06:34] LucidFox: I'm at a loss then on all of my machines I've never had anything say amp [06:34] test [06:34] русский чат [06:34] Delvien, I thought jdk was no more free software... But on sun site it is possible download jdk. So it's quite strange that jdk isn't present on repo.. [06:34] coz_, I don't remember doing gimp ppa, standard is good enough. Def not edgers. [06:34] ubuntu, #ubuntu-ru [06:35] lonejack: i see, jdk is still free software, but oracle is changing alot of suns stuff, so I was just saying it could be that [06:35] shawnboy, mm sometimes ppa 's have versions of libraries that can conflict with the current install I am hoping this did not happen to you [06:35] hey maco what is the sudo for sftp? [06:35] I do have previous kernel listing in grub. haven't tried yet because I'm trying to preserve log files of broken system, but may be time to try. [06:35] ssfdre38: er...what? [06:36] ssfdre38: i thought when you said that before that you meant "whats the command to install it?" and i said "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" .... is that not what you wanted? [06:36] shawnboy, understood [06:36] coz_, I just thought... I can glance at my sources.list to see PPAs. [06:36] you said that i need sftp as well [06:36] maco I think he wants to know how he uses sftp in terminal, and has his terminology confused. [06:36] ssfdre38: that package includes ssh and sftp [06:36] ohh ok [06:36] shawnboy, that would be good but I believe you can also view log files via live cd if I am not mistaken [06:37] ssfdre38: ssh is a swissarmyknife of abilities [06:37] By the way [06:37] the background noise only appears when I don't try to play sound [06:37] how can i set my touchpad to trigger navigate forward/back (alt-left/right) actions? i'm on a Thinkpad T40 laptop. [06:37] when I do, it just mutes completely [06:37] LucidFox: what is your volume at? [06:37] 100% [06:37] weird. [06:37] Arghhh still waiting for the XBMC repos to go back to normal. [06:38] sigh ;) [06:38] hi all, can someone help me with getting PAM to authenticate via OpenLDAP in Lucid? [06:38] LucidFox, mmm have you checked in #pulseaudio or #alsa channels? [06:38] in alsamixer, master is at 91% [06:38] gary_inNYC: enable horizontal scrolling in touchpad preferences, then edit your browser's config for that [06:38] gary_inNYC: if youre using firefox, thats in about:config [06:38] Delvien, my problem is that I use the netbeans+php. I understand that I can install it from repo with(Openjdk) but I don't know how to set the php-netbans... [06:38] maco horiz scrolling got borked in lucid for most touchpads btw. [06:38] gary_inNYC: you could configure the screen edges to do it but you will lose the ability to drag windows from cube side to cube side (I assume you use a full compiz) [06:39] Delvien: oh. well if the driver's broken there's nothing you can do about that [06:39] LucidFox: pcm levels? [06:39] Delvien: er...other than submit a patch :) [06:39] lonejack: THat's greek to me man :C [06:39] well, coz_ I think I'm done for tonight. Thank you for taking a stab at it with me. [06:39] maco canonical is working on a fix. slloooooooooooooooooooooooowly [06:39] shawnboy, I am interested in the soluton to ghis [06:39] this [06:39] jamiewan> All at 100% in alsamixer, trying to change PCM below 100% drops master instead [06:39] I find myself having to "echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth" on every boot, is there a config somewhere that I can set it permanently, or should/can I rebuild the appropriate kernel module withot BT support? [06:39] shawnboy, this if you find one let me know [06:39] ty [06:40] riis: add it to /etc/rc.local ,above the exit 0 line [06:40] coz_, will do. [06:40] LucidFox: whats the main prob only just got on missed it [06:40] riis: it will also run as root :) [06:40] ActionParsnip: would it be possible to disable it in the module itself? [06:40] riis: you can remove the module so it doesnt run [06:40] guess that's a per-module thing really [06:41] jamiewan> No sound on an Audigy SB Live, just background noise [06:41] Delvien: I think it's the thinkpad_acpi mod or something, so that might not be desireable as I'll lose other features too [06:41] riis: you could with module options in /etc/modprobe.d ,just make a new file ending in .conf and add the option line [06:41] I already blacklist btusb and bluetooth [06:41] Hi guys, is there a way to convert a GPT to MBR under Ubuntu Live USB? And, if possible, without needing to clear out that particular disk? [06:42] LucidFox: white noise? [06:42] riis: you will add: option modulename something ,just change the something to the option. The rest will be the same [06:42] ActionParsnip: yeah tried that, but couldn't figure out the syntax. I guess I need to know exactly which module "hosts" /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth, how to do that? [06:42] jamiewan> It's most obvious when I move the mouse, temporarily disappears when I press Enter on my keyboard, and disappears completely when I try to play audio [06:43] riis what model of laptop do you own? [06:43] Lenovo thinkpad [06:43] model number? [06:43] riis: lsmod ,will list the modules and you can play from there. I'd just go for the rc.local file as you will hit the gold immediately [06:43] rystraum: there is a way ...try this...http://greg.agiletortoise.com/2008/09/08/converting-gpt-partition-to-mbr-for-vista/ === pinoyskull- is now known as pinoyskull [06:44] LucidFox: mate thats weird, i dont know prob go over all the channels make sure the correct boxes check and unchecked [06:44] I'm not your mater [06:44] * mate [06:45] LucidFox: is it a create audigy something [06:45] LucidFox: he was just being friendly [06:45] I tried setting different muted channels to 100% in alsamixer [06:45] with no result whatsoever [06:45] ActionParsnip: will that setting be applied immediately when the mod loads or "later"? (I hate BT with a vengance so want to kill it as hard as possible :) ) [06:45] ActionParsnip> Yes, it is [06:45] cos_ I'm now trying to play the website in Firefox, which addon would you recommend I download for playing flash ? Gecko, Totem, VLC or gxine? [06:45] riis: after everything, just before login prompt shows up [06:45] alsm funny sometimes and thats prob and understatement, but i found some things need to be on for it to work in my system anyway, like capture switches and other things. [06:46] *alsa [06:46] How do I enter a directory path into Nautilus with the keyboard? [06:46] LucidFox: thought so, those things are a pain to get nice. Not worth it. [06:46] pmarch, you already have flash installed [06:46] pmarch, isnt it showing up in firefox? [06:46] xorwhy: there's a hack in gconf-editor which is a boolean, switches from folder things to text. [06:47] ActionParsnip> Well, I wouldn't bother buying, but it's my work computer, and apparently it either doesn't have built-in sound or it's not connected [06:47] ah ok, thanks [06:47] ok, so I was able to set the backspace button to nav back in Firefox, but how about setting swipe hotspots on a touchpad to navigate back/forward in Nautilus & Firefox? [06:47] pmarch, go to youtube.com and play one of the videos [06:47] nope, it wants me to download one of those add ons [06:47] is the a ubuntu console that one can install on a windows machine to allow one access to the server with out having to have a mouse, keyboard and a monitor connected? [06:47] LucidFox: but when you get it it is worth it, has been for me works great no dramas [06:47] Okay, off for a reboot to test this [06:47] let me check (youtube [06:47] pmarch, if that works then flash is working [06:47] jamiewan> I'm not an audiophile, I probably wouldn't even hear any difference [06:47] LucidFox: true, some people have had luck switching back to OSS [06:47] ........ewwwww [06:47] Don't suggest that. Ever. [06:48] :) [06:48] noooooo [06:48] lol [06:48] ActionParsnip: btw. I just threw it in a file thinkpad.conf, but the system will read all *.conf from there right? I don't have to add it somewhere? [06:48] On an unrelated note [06:48] gary_inNYC: you could use gestures to go back and forward in browser. There are packages for that sort of stuff [06:49] why is the volume level in the indicator displayed as greater than in sound properties? [06:49] riis: they will all be read, yes === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:49] hello [06:49] ActionParsnip: thanks! [06:49] is this the nerd server ? [06:49] gary_inNYC, if you want to use gestures systemically install easystroke [06:49] ActionParsnip: you don't by chance know the name of the key I'm looking for?

I am sure others can lend a hand for you :) [06:59] Does anyone know about issues concerning wireless portals? - I know I'm to ask the question directly, but it's a long question. [07:00] LucidFox: get the gnome-alsa mixer it shows more options and channels [07:00] z1lt0id: try "conkyrc" conf file there is a setting "use_own_window" switch it to "no" maybe it helps [07:00] mc cd doesn't open anymore [07:00] my cd [07:00] it is stuck [07:00] hwo do i get it out [07:00] help [07:00] bill: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:01] yes [07:01] okay === Zero_0xfffff is now known as Zero_BOF [07:01] chemical_death: cheers i'll try that === Zero_BOF is now known as Zero_fffff [07:02] so did i lose my cd [07:02] did ubuntu eat it ? [07:02] a little known fact about Linux is that, when you want to read any device, be it a hard drive, cdrom, flash driver, etc, it needs to be mounted to a directory first === Zero_fffff is now known as Zero_0xfffff [07:02] i hear ubuntu gets hungry [07:02] in the case of a cdrom, when it is mounted, it locks the drive so that the disc can't be ejected accidentally during a read [07:02] if I fixed a problem and there aren't any topics on it, can I post it on the forums for posterity? like [solved] blah? [07:02] <~~~ aka darth_tux71 on neighbors puter on a fresh install [07:03] ok [07:03] Bill: Right click its icon on the desktop (there should be one given most setups), select unmount. [07:03] that way if you bump the button while watching a movie, for instance, it won't stop and eject the disc [07:03] how does it come out [07:03] great idea [07:03] but not right now [07:03] !enter | bill [07:03] bill: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:03] well, first you need to unmount the disc - start by opening up Places->Computer [07:04] Whats a good little ftp program I can use to upload web files to my web server? [07:04] or look for the CDROM disc icon on your desktop [07:04] So now that there is no xorg.conf, how do we configure xorg?? [07:04] right-click on the CDROM disc icon, select 'unmount' [07:04] xorwhy fillzilla [07:04] ok found it [07:04] cos_ thank you very much [07:04] good night [07:04] chemical-death: that just made it disappear permanently [07:04] yes i have selected it [07:04] etherealite: k [07:04] xorwhy: are you using GNOME? [07:05] bill: if all goes well, you should now be able to press the button and have it eject, if it didn't give any error messages [07:05] Captive portals, anyone? Failing in that, the 'i agree' page before you can freely use wi-fi? [07:05] z1lt0id: did you restart the conky thing? [07:05] great [07:05] i did [07:05] it works [07:05] mneptok: yes, i tried nautilus, it says it can't handle the ftp protocol? [07:05] excellent [07:05] chemical-death: i did [07:05] now i'm gonna install windows [07:05] * moawia still remembers having to read about mount umount in the manual [07:05] this is awefull [07:05] but thanks [07:05] bye [07:05] bill: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:05] look, stop that [07:05] mount unmount is still quite relevant [07:05] chemical-death: i think it might be something to do with compiz. do you want me to paste my conkyrc to pastebin so you can look at it [07:05] xorwhy: it certainly does. use "Connect to server" from the "Places" menu [07:05] ok [07:06] Wow! This Pandora icon looks terrible on the top panel. Anyone know how to fix it?

[07:07] Prinny: I'm willing to bet it's a bunch of other things, and the disc issue was just the icing on the cake.

I connect to a wireless network, no captive portal appears. I use the windows partition to get the address of the portal system and the ip of the gateway server. I try inputting the portal address, an apparently hanging 'looking up. . .' from firefox. Pinged the gateway server, that immediately responds. Try inputting the IP into firefox, it attempts to connect for a moment before telling me the connection has timed out or so.

I think I found the font just need something that will print one check. I even tried windows and fail to find a free one [07:09] g2g [07:09] Just post your question and hopefully someone will be able to answer. [07:09] mneptok: Does not work. Only two input boxes.

[07:32] <_BEAST> Rummage: iwconfig output [07:32] Rummage: my laptop came with WiFI, and it's a Mini PCI-E half-height add-in card [07:32] Well, it came installed and functional on W7.

[07:33] What are you looking for? I have to manually type it to you. [07:34] <_BEAST> Rummage: what does it say when you type iwconfig [07:35] if only it was easy for a newbie to start a read-only screen session and share read access to a terminal over IRC... I guess 'til then we have the pastebin [07:35] (it's still a viable option for anyone who wants to try it, but it can't be a default recommendation) [07:35] <_BEAST> lol [07:36] anyone [07:36] therealpxc: The laptop and the communicating computer are separate. I have to manually type up the output, pastebin or no. [07:36] <_BEAST> Rummage: terminal type iwconfig output [07:36] <_BEAST> Rummage: terminal type iwconfig [07:36] lo and eth0 both have nothing. wlan0 has 802.11bgn nickname:"rtl8191seva2" (weird since I know this is 8172, but the driver is 8192SE, this is supposed to function) Mode:managed frequency=2.412Ghz Access point: Not-Associated Bit Rate: 300MB/s Retry: on RTS thr: off Fragment thr:off Power Management: off [07:36] <_BEAST> Rummage: perfect [07:37] Don't want the rest, then?

[07:38] Rummage: the two things you generally need to check for WiFi connectivity are whether or not you're associated (iwconfig) and if you have an IP address (ifconfig). You might also want to check your default gateway (route) or nameservers (cat /etc/resolv.conf), but probably not. [07:39] I'm willing to try anything at this point. [07:39] On ifconfig, would that be the HWAddr? [07:39] I missed some of the earlier conversation. What are the symptoms? An apparent connection, but no actual connectivity? [07:39] Under ifconfig, it's the "inet addr" [07:40] therealpxc: Can ping the gateway server of a wi-fi node, but can't connect to it for the portal page. [07:40] have you tried multiple browsers? [07:40] I only have an inet addr output for local loopback. [07:40] it may be a left-behind proxy setting or the like === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:41] it looks like you aren't _really_ on the network with wlan0 [07:41] therealpxc: This is a clean 10.04 install, that has never been able to connect to the net. :| [07:41] run "sudo dhclient wlan0" to try to get a new IP [07:41] <_BEAST> !nice [07:41] 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. [07:41] <_BEAST> STFU [07:41] Rummage: and the WAP SSID is *really* "Not-Associated?" [07:41] _BEAST: language, please [07:41] mneptok: That's what it says. [07:42] therealpxc: Was that command predicated on the assumption that I am near a wifi node? Because I'm not. [07:42] Rummage: and you connected to this by using nm-applet to look for available access points? [07:42] <_BEAST> lol @ the answer depart message [07:42] I'm sorry, mate. If you plug it into wired, you can install the linux-backports-modules-wireless which may help. Other than that, we can slug through setting up NDISwrapper together! :D [07:42] Rummage: it was, I'm sorry. The other guy said you were connected so I didn't bother to check to read for association myself [07:42] mneptok: Whichever one is responsible for our little connection widget on the status bar. [07:43] And I don't have the means to connect the laptop wired, unfortunately. [07:43] therealpxc: if Rummage can see access points in nm-applet, there's no need for ndiswrapper. [07:43] Basically, I have a USB drive that can handle files 5gb or less. [07:43] And that's the only way to get data to the laptop at the moment. [07:44] Let me see if I'm caught up. You can see nearby APs, but can't associate? Are they secured? Sometimes unsecured association works while WPA/WPA2 is flakey on some drivers [07:45] Both of these networks are unsecured. No passwords. However, before you're free to go a-roamin' they require viewing a captive portal page, which gives you terms and conditions and an I Agree button. On most computers, apparently, this page comes up automagically. For me it does not, and my attempts to reach it have been futile. [07:46] Rummage: try "nslookup cnn.com" in a terminal [07:46] It seems to me, though, that you're not even associated with the AP, let alone having a place on the network represented with an IP. It baffles me that you said you could ping the gateway [07:46] mneptok: I am not connected in any way on this laptop. . . [07:47] hi [07:47] therealpxc: It did give me an ip, .52 to the gateway's .1 [07:47] Rummage: then you cannot possibly ping anything. === kalimba is now known as xtremox [07:47] mneptok: I am reporting on past attempts. I am not sitting in a library at 2am asking you these questions. [07:47] Rummage: then there's no point in trying to help, as anything we suggest cannot be tested. === xtremox is now known as manuelx [07:48] mneptok: You guys are the only ones who've even responded to my queries, and I can test an idea later, and report back. It's a slow process, yes, but it's all I've got. [07:48] ActionParsnip, jamiewan, never mind, I'm really stupid [07:48] I plugged my earphones into the wrong sound card [07:48] Hi, ive set up a real nice "conky" but cant work out how to make it wider! Any help gratefully received -:) [07:49] hey ubuntu, how do I send a command to an already existing instance of an application, for example I know pidgin -n creates a new instance of pidgin and sets it to offline [07:49] the onboard one, which doesn't work [07:49] :-)rn [07:49] What header file on Ubuntu 10.04 defines PATH_MAX ? [07:49] when I plugged them into the SB Live, I got sound [07:49] anyway I can send the "-n" paramater to the already running instance of pidgin though? [07:49] out of the box [07:50] Rummage: well, it's gonna be hard to work on this with no APs nearby, and it's 1:49am where I am, but I'd like to help you through this problem when I can. Would you mind if I contacted you over email or IM? [07:50] My next attempt I can use IM on my phone as I work on my laptop, so I guess that. [07:51] okay [07:51] how do I open a rar file on ubunut ? [07:53] dr0id: you need to install "unrar", or something similar, since it's non-free.

[08:46] johnathan: It's a pain on Windows, but there are guides on Google.

Anyone have any experience of doing this that can help me out? [08:47] johnathan: ...or use VNC if you want a GUI always running like that. You don't need putty for VNC.

[08:52] * IdleOne gives robertwall a mill feuille [08:53] not really gimpy283. As lm still new to ubuntu so lm using the GUI on it and am using tightvnc to be able to use the GUI on my server.But once l have better know how of ubuntu then l will only use putty to do everything via command line [08:55] johnathan, fix your keyboard first. An l is not an I.

What would be a good set of params for FFMPEG to not loos video quality or audio sync? I can't seem to use mp3 audio, read a little about it but I don't know what to do since the mediabuntu repo is throwing 404s for everything... [08:57] but i'm getting error [08:58] can anyone help me? [08:58] jimlovell777: avidemux can do that, forget about ffmpeg [08:58] muneeb: ##linux [08:58] Seveas-train: There is nothing wrong with my keyboard as lm not pressing shift and the i button together [08:58] I've got to conflicting docs here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input#Input Configuration with udev (Ubuntu 10.04) and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/InputConfiguration#Driver/device options (Ubuntu 9.10) [08:58] johnathan, then fix your brain. [08:59] heh [08:59] johnathan: you are clearly not pressing shift+i because you are pressing l [08:59] @idleone what? [08:59] etherealite: of course you do, one is for 9.10 the other is for 10.04 [08:59] Seveas-train: that was a uncalled for comment [08:59] muneeb: try asking in ##linux [08:59] Gnea: Ok I'll give it a shot [08:59] l will have it taken further [08:59] Gnea look closer specifically this line in the 9.10 docs: The x11_options properties are not supported in Ubuntu 10.04. Use xorg.conf.d snippets instead.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [09:06] I've read all I could lay my hands on [09:06] I'm tryign to get it work through usbadslmodemmanager_0.5.8_i386.deb [09:07] and the thing is it needs python-gnome2-extras_2.19.1-3.1_i386.deb to work which is troublesome [09:07] ubottu: Can we connect Tata Photon to Ubuntu 10.4?? [09:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:07] after i uninstalled it from linux (had to uninstall another thing) then reinstall some dependencies [09:07] i've ran into a brick wall [09:07] it says it needs python <<2.6 [09:07] The gdm face browser shows who is currently logged in.

I don't care about any other site at this point. [09:09] ubottu: Can we connect Tata Photon to Ubuntu 10.4?? [09:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:09] no i have not, let me read through it [09:10] please do. [09:10] it seems dwm is installed by default on ubuntu, but where too? how do configure the header files etc as you would normally do? is it only a binary thats installed, thatd be quite pointless? [09:10] vivek312, ubottu is a bot [09:10] vivek312, what is tata photon? [09:10] Seveas-train: its a modem.. [09:10] Seveas-train: it's a wireless modem, basically [09:10] c3l, it is not installed by default [09:10] bazhang: so what it means?? [09:11] having problems with grub2 installing 10.04 [09:11] In what channel could I best ask a question about the gdm face browser in combination with XDMCP? [09:11] vivek312, then probably yes [09:11] vivek312, not human [09:11] anything I've tried so far, and I always get: error: unknown filesystem [09:11] then it drops into grub rescue> [09:11] ll [09:11] bazhang: ok.. [09:11] vivek312: http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/how-to-connect-tata-photon-whizplug2surf-with-ubuntu-linux.html [09:11] Seveas-train: do you know how to configure it? [09:12] vivek312, I'm afraid not. IdleOne's link sounds promising though [09:12] vivek312: see what IdleOne gave you [09:12] Seveas-train: for some reason I had it on both my desktop and notebook, maybe it came with dwm-tools I used for xmonad, anyways. where do I make the configurations? [09:13] I'll just save the page with save as and try to go through the instructions in ubuntu, if i have any problems I'll come back, and I'm sure I will [09:13] thanks for the help guys [09:13] IdleOne: thankyou very much....!!! [09:13] vivek312: welcome, hope it works === gewt is now known as Ishimura [09:13] gsergiu: good luck [09:14] After installing and updating my system was just hanging, i reinstalled windows (had to anyhow) and now i'm booted from livecd , to reinstall grub(2) do I just need to use grub-setup w/ -d ?? I just need to rewrite the MBR ? === Ishimura is now known as gewt [09:14] !grub2 | x0r_ [09:14] x0r_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [09:15] hi, how can i pass a really long piece of text via command line argument without running into escaping issues? [09:15] IdleOne: yes it works....!!! [09:15] is there an equivalent to """ in python? [09:15] boxbeatsy, you don't :) [09:15] IdleOne: thanks again.... [09:15] sure thing [09:15] pipe it to the commands stdin and make the command use it [09:15] Seveas-train: what's the alternative? [09:15] commandline is not suitable for passing long strings [09:15] IdleOne, thats not really helpfull atm ... [09:16] Seveas-train: i see, can you give me an example of how to use stdin when calling a python script? [09:16] i want to do python scriptname.py longstring [09:16] x0r_: see section 11 on that page [09:16] boxbeatsy, where are you getting the long string from? [09:16] a http request [09:17] and how are you getting it? Some cgi script? [09:17] o i meant php actually [09:17] so i want to do php scriptname.php longstring [09:17] and i'm getting the argument via the $_REQUESTS array [09:18] boxbeatsy, ok, in your php script, use something like popen() to start the python process. Then you can use write() to write the data to it and read() to get output. But this is fairly offtopic here, try #php [09:18] putting the data in a file makes most sense imo [09:19] Seveas-train: ok thanks! [09:19] IdleOne, ah i see .. so grub-setup -d ... is correct , but since i'm using a separate /boot partition and the fact that my root is lvm2 stripe make any difference ? [09:19] x0r_: heh, got me [09:21] I forgot my 10.04 login password what should I do ?? [09:21] ubottu: password | ibrahim-kasem [09:21] ibrahim-kasem: 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 [09:21] IdleOne, yea not so common i guess ... thanks will just have to try it out I guess ... even before i wasn't getting any menus i think b/c it loads the fonts from /usr/share before it loaded lvm2 module ... which is kindof silly maybe i'll file a bug report [09:21] well, I'm back as I guessed, I followed the instructions on the page you directed me to but the problem is that when it asks me if my ethernet connection is listed there the one that my moden used isn't there, in windows I had a extra connection that was used for my modem [09:23] I have no ideea where to go from there, how do I add the one that's used to connect to the internet? [09:23] well here goes ... hopefully works b/c this livecd takes like 20mins to load up fully ... doesn't make multiple tries very fun hah [09:24] I'm the guy with the speedtouch 330 modem problems , sudo pppoeconf works but I don't have the connection that was used by the modem [09:25] Gnea: are you still around? [09:26] yup [09:26] well what's the problem, how do I get that 2nd connection to appear so I can connect through it? [09:27] well, you need to get the first connection through eth0 setup [09:27] how do I go about at doing that , it's not included in the page you linked me to :) [09:27] Gnea I tested out gpm like you said. Mouse was still slow. [09:28] etherealite: okay, so the problem is definately with the mouse, or the way the protocol is trying to work [09:28] okj [09:28] gsergiu: well, did you put your info in when you ran sudo pppoeconf? [09:29] I could not put in my info... because I cannot connect through eth0 [09:29] uh [09:29] it asks for your username and password [09:29] that's your info - that has no bearing on whether or not you can connect or not - in fact, you can't connect without it [09:30] It doesn't because it can not connect through eth0, as I said in windows the drivers installed a 2'd (eth card) named "speedtouch ethernet adaptor) [09:30] gsergiu: you have to go through each step of pppoeconf and fill it out properly. [09:31] Gnea so if I know that the problem is with udev? [09:31] etherealite: well, I wouldn't say udev is the problem, but likely the solution [09:31] hi guys.. is there anyway i could do. Like Ubuntu 10.04 is my Server and my station is Windows. Acts like ActiveDirectory on Windows 2008 Server [09:32] hey guys...I have an acer 5930g..and the keyboard doesnt have numpad key..instead uses the fn key in combination with some other key...but the numeric numpad doesnt work..any ideas how to fix that ? [09:32] the basic procedure doesn't work for speedtouch 330 as I said, I could not get to introduce my name and password, when asked if I have my ethernet card detected I pressed yes and it said it can't connect through it [09:33] dontput, try OpenLDAP [09:33] gsergiu: you're skipping ahead too many steps and going too fast. please to be slowing down and answering each question, one at a time, without assuming anything and trying to skip ahead. [09:33] dontput yes there is a way [09:33] dontput its not going to be easy [09:34] etherealite, :( well i could try.. theres no way to learn but to try it [09:34] please understand the problem is not on my side, it's the modem [09:34] hi Tree can i try t help you with your question [09:34] Guest60820, pls try :) [09:35] gsergiu: and please understand that I have used the speedtouch 330 modem before with linux and it worked fine. [09:35] http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_&_LDAP === fernanda is now known as Guest14616 [09:35] dontput http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_&_LDAP [09:35] have you used it with 10.4? [09:35] no, I used it with debian, this was years ago [09:35] Tree, try going to system > preferences > Keyboard for me - then click 'keyboard modle' [09:35] dontput good luck and god bless [09:35] Guest60820, so...some of the combination with the fn key work fine...the only problem is with the numeric and and the dot numpad [09:36] gsergiu: what I recall was that I could get into the modem config and change it between pppoe or using dhcp [09:36] Hey, my network manager applet disappeared from the panel. I've got a notification area set up there, and did a killall nm-applet and starting nm-applet in a terminal after that, but i still don't have it - Any ideas? [09:36] it's Ubuntu 10.04, i should say [09:36] updated yesterday [09:36] how to install mesa and opengl on ubuntu 10.04 LTS? [09:36] gsergiu: I preferred using the pppoe method, but I tried dhcp just to see if it would work and then switched it back and got it to work [09:36] corni: run it from a terminal and check if there are any relevant messages [09:36] which packages? [09:36] well I don't know what to say, I don't get to the step where I'm asked to introduced my name/pass, when I press yes if my eth card is detected it's unable to connect through it [09:36] Guest60820, done that...keyboard model is setup to acer laptop [09:37] tree > now click options [09:37] gsergiu: and you're sure that you're using pppoe in windows? [09:37] ilovefairuz: unfortunately there aren't any, except some stating that it wasn't shut down properly === niko is now known as Guest43089 [09:37] 100% [09:37] gsergiu: is eth0 the only card on the system? [09:37] in linux yes [09:38] in windows i have a 2nd one [09:38] wait. [09:38] a 2nd one? [09:38] Guest60820, did that... [09:38] why wouldn't it be in linux? [09:38] corni: did you verify that the notification area applet is present in your panel? [09:38] yes a 2nd one installed by the driver on the cd [09:38] in numeric keypad selection > what is the selected option [09:38] no no no, I'm talking about a real, physical network interface card [09:39] gsergiu: pastebin: lshw -C network [09:39] as i said its named "Speedtouch ethernet adapter" and the network card one is called "realtek bla bla" [09:39] !paste > gsergiu [09:39] gsergiu, please see my private message [09:39] ilovefairuz: yes, the speaker symbol is there [09:39] ilovefairuz: no need [09:39] Guest60820, default [09:39] I installed flashplugin-installer, but how can i actually install flash now? flashplugin-installer is not a executable in my path (nor root's path) [09:40] I don't have two physical network interface cards gnea [09:40] gsergiu: that's just the virtual interface that it uses with pppoe to connect - you'll likely get something like that working with ubuntu as well, but that software should already be installed to provide it [09:40] Tree > Thats OK > can you click on the button next to keyboard modle & make sure the right modle is selected ? [09:41] I understand that, and with that problem I came here, the softwared needed for it is giving me trouble [09:41] erikwt: flashplugin-installer downloads and installs flash during its setup. you don't need to do it after installation. [09:41] but you then just redirected me to that link [09:41] corni: right click on the panel, select add, select notification area and see what happens [09:41] gsergiu: okay, so my question to you now is: when you went through pppoeconf, did it say anything else about other than eth0, like maybe tap0 or tun0? [09:41] no it didn't [09:42] ok, one moment please [09:42] Guest60820, keyboard model is acer laptop..it was default earlier...but the numeric numpad didnt worked also [09:42] ilovefairuz: I get a second loudspeaker symbol... [09:42] ok, and thanks for the help [09:42] OK tree one second.... [09:42] robertwall, well, it still doesnt work :) even after i restarted firefox [09:44] ilovefairuz: ah no [09:44] ilovefairuz: I chose the wrong one, for a 'Notification Area' I get three horizontal lines with ~4px width === twisted`_ is now known as twisted` === emc_ is now known as emc [09:45] corni: try starting nm-applet now === nik0 is now known as niko [09:45] ilovefairuz: nothing...

[09:46] ilovefairuz: yeah, i can redo them [09:46] !panels | corni [09:46] corni: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:48] ilovefairuz: now i got the default panel, but no network manager... [09:48] corni: try starting it from terminal [09:49] ilovefairuz: nothing... [09:49] !test [09:49] hrm?

[09:50] ilovefairuz: cable network [09:50] !bots > dontput [09:50] dontput, please see my private message [09:50] it seem that the numeric numpad key works as arrows to navigate...but I want them to type numbers...how can I do that ? [09:50] corni: did it work before the icon disappeared? [09:51] Gnea: may I tell you how I tried to make it work and maybe we can go from there? [09:51] ilovefairuz: I never had that icon, i installed the system yesterday, and yesterday it worked without icon [09:51] tree, press the Num Lock key [09:51] Just did a fresh install of kubuntu, initially audio worked fine, after installing nvidia video drivers and rebooting, skype audio dropped out, i tested flashed audio from youtube, no go there as well. I tried installing pulse audio server, it didnt help, though i recieve good boot up and shutdown audio [09:52] corni: so no way to connect to internet and install updates? [09:52] ilovefairuz: no, but there's something weird in the dmesg output [09:52] corni: open a terminal and try this: sudo dhclient eth0 [09:52] ilovefairuz: I don't have dhcp [09:53] Hello. I just reinstalled Ubuntu, and it occurred to me as I was using Arch Linux... is there something similar to "yaourt" in Ubuntu? It's a package manager specifically for tarball files. It integrates with "pacman" (Arch's package manager). Is there a package manager for tarball files that would integrate with apt-get in Ubuntu? [09:53] ilovefairuz: I'll try a restart, maybe that'll fix my kernel problems [09:53] corni: you can set it up statically in /etc/network/interfaces [09:53] i'm tryign to install ubuntu to a laptop with a faulty cdrom drive that presents to many read errors to successfully install (tho it does boot to trial mode)... i also can't seem to make a usb drive bootable, though i can easily mirror the cd to the usb..... is there some way to boot into trial on the CD, switch the source to the usb (chroot or something?) and continue with installation that way? :) [09:53] !test [09:53] hrm?

[11:20] palimpsest says that my 3-month old laptop hard drive (a TOSHIBA MK6465GSX) has 271 bad sectors. is this normal? [11:20] what is the lastest version in the repo of postGIS ? [11:20] Folks, I need help with sound. Sound card is ALC662 and I raised volume to the end in mixer option. In mixer card selected is HDA Intel. Then, I've noticed pulsemixer, selected it and raise sound to the end. Why I had to do that? Why mixer didn't give me sound on HDA intel but gave on pulse? Thx [11:20] i have problem with libstdc++. When i try compiling program with GHC i have : can't load .so/.DLL for: stdc++ (libstdc++.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) [11:20] It is my Ubuntu fault ? [11:20] 1.4.0-2 fourcolors [11:20] just to be sure i've try a mount /dev/perfect-linux/root /mnt/b and it says its already mounted on /mnt/b so I think the mount is ok [11:20] bazhang: I need 1.5 [11:20] Having problem with 10.04-Server setting the wrong resolution (no GUI). It boots up to the point where Ubu tries to set its console resoltion but sets it wrong so it does not work and my monitor just shows "No input". Setting GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub did not help at all. [11:20] bazhang: not sure 1.4 has geography support :( [11:21] ilovefairuz: Am i screwed..? [11:21] gimpy283, you can press alt+f1 to get to a console. from there you can log in and change the resolution in the X config [11:22] somebody else will have to tell you where the X config is though :S [11:22] bazhang: why might this not be compiling do you know what the cause might be [11:22] uatec: As mentioned, there is no X, this is just a stock ubuntu-server. [11:23] without x installed i would have thought it would just sit at the normal 80x25 resolution... that's weird :S [11:23] Really need help to understand why HDA Intel in mixer doesn't produce sound and on the other side selecting Playback from pulseaudio mixer produces sound? [11:23] bazhang, so whats the sulution [11:23] uatec: Not in 10.04, 10.04 changes to something higher if it can. [11:24] Professor_G, no idea, I dont use headphones === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [11:24] could it be that it cant mount the /sda1 because its a Linux LVM? [11:25] who can help me? [11:25] battler: you can't mount it directly because it doesn't have a single file system, it contains multiple ones, and so you have to use lvscan [11:26] what is the problem again Professor_G? I used to get both headphones and laptop speakers working when I plugged them in, until ubuntu forums showed me some secret hidden config somewhere to get the headphone jack to automatically switch off the main speakers [11:26] i'm going to follow your tut once more maybe i missed something. Because when I look in my /etc/ i do see all my files [11:26] but that's all I know... sorry [11:27] alejandro_, thats what i have at the momant unless i select analog headphones in settings [11:27] battler: /etc on what partition ? [11:27] how can I see this? [11:27] when I look in my root all my files are there [11:27] I asume that this is on /sda1 [11:27] battler: that's only the livecd [11:28] nope, not sda1 [11:28] bazhang, I'm going to try this solution, but it involves deleting an important looking library! do you think it's okay? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1092212.html [11:28] battler: the livecd has it's own filesystem too [11:28] alejandro_, thought you had a problem with fglrx?

[11:28] alejandro_, that is ati, the forums link is for nvidia [11:29] I've made a few iptables scripts in the past, and stored them in /etc/iptables. I can see them right now [11:29] well, I want to remove fglrx. [11:30] alejandro_, and fglrx is for ati; nvidia-glx is not [11:30] if that will get me the ability to use apt and synaptic again [11:30] battler: type: pwd [11:30] alejandro_, try going into synaptic and removing [11:30] in synaptic?

Id like to take controll of the starting of X manually, and not use gdm (kdm) at all [12:12] @plitter you click on the bar that comes when you load the guest os, and there is a choic to "install guest additions" [12:12] hhhhhhhhh: wubi is problematic, install on a normal partition [12:12] @plitter that normally helps configure everything on the system, so it can use your hardware to full potential as if it was installed [12:13] this makes my wifi pci card work how can i make this a constant fix and not type it all the time sudo modprobe orinoco_pci [12:13] i don't have normal partition, why it is on CD then if it doesn't work?

[12:15] @plitter yeah i think that's it. If not, make sure your network adapted is "connected to NAT" [12:15] joachim: you can install it in virtualbox and access it on there [12:15] ilovefairuz: When I boot I directly get some kind of grub editor mode [12:15] Can someone help me out a bit.

[12:15] ah, sorry for double post [12:15] ilovefairuz, ah. thanks. i'll research it [12:15] hey, in ubuntu 10.04 the behaviour of rhythmbox in the system tray is rather stupid. it doesn't show the currently-playing track on mouse over, and single clicking doesn't open the application window. the rhythmbox people say it's something to do with the ubuntu package. does anyone know of a ubuntu rhythmbox package with sane system tray behaviour? [12:16] hi, can I remove all the apt packages my computer is storing, maybe via synaptic somehow?

[12:18] NTpspE: my previous message is pretty complete [12:18] battler: grub-install –modules=”pc ext4 lvm” /dev/sda [12:18] StaRetji, all I know is that that should be controlled by the window manager, and way back when I had a suse box you could hide window decor or just choose a window manager with minimal decoration [12:18] ok so how can I make the console work, it prints the initial kernel stuff fine then poof and monitor is out of sync untill video mode started [12:18] shomon: theres a program called computer janitor available in software center for that [12:18] thx shomon [12:18] ah yeah I've seen it... ok will try it! [12:18] thanks tweak_ and no prob StaRetji [12:18] @amagee i think older versions of ubuntu worked it a different way, it's the new notification system that's to blame.

[12:48] battler: that's grub 1 [12:49] ilovefairuz: should i do a apt-get install grub2 ? [12:49] The system hungs (even without X) and seems random. I didn't see any message in /var/log about any kind of error or problem (dmesg, kern.log...) How to track down this error? Thanks [12:50] battler: i guess so ... anyway, upgrading is often problematic on significant releases, i suggest you back up your data, do a clean install and select "use entire disk" in the installer to erase the old partitions [12:52] Ilovefairuz: I'm afraid that i'll miss configuration files. Is there a way to make sure that I get all my files/data/apps [12:52] The system hang even using acpi=off noapic and nolapic when booting [12:52] battler: configurations of what applications?

[13:02] remote dektop viewer doesnot display live dektop [13:02] battler: you could try converting the lvm partitions to normal ones but you'll need to resize the existing parition to make room for two new partitions with sufficient space and then use 'dd' to copy the lvm partitions over to them [13:03] just display a single image and it does not change after that [13:03] wolves : any idea ?

I am running ubuntu 10.04 and virtually windows xp. The problem is that i am trying to play a game over LAN and it doesn't find the other people. I guess its because I am behind the virtual machine, but how do i fix that... [13:05] battler: yes you can make the two partitions there (one for root and one for swap) [13:05] plitter: did you set virtual lan on that machine to nat or to bridge? [13:05] battler: i'm not really sure if this will work for your case, so unless you're willing to put extra time in this, i still suggest the clean installation [13:05] wastl: nat [13:06] should i put bridge? [13:06] plitter: which game? [13:06] hhhhhhhhh: heroes of might and magic 3:D [13:06] plitter: so maybe the nat is the problem...if natted your vm gets an internal ip from virtualbox and due to nat the game cannot make direct connections on ports an all that [13:06] i'm afraid that things wont work after a reinstall. squid proxy server, webserver, log server, mail server, dhcp server.. its a lot of work to get this working again. [13:07] plitter: i'd try bridge [13:07] then again a full reinstall would be the best [13:07] plitter, isn't heroes of might and magic 4 out there already? [13:07] nanix: 5 actually;) [13:07] battler: full reinstall? [13:07] wow, I feel out [13:07] привет [13:07] hmm i'm think i'm just gonna do a full reinstall. that way i'll be sure that the apps are 10.05 compatible [13:08] wastl: when i put it on bridged adapter it doesnt connect [13:09] wastl: i put it on eth0 [13:09] no dhcp on your lan?

[13:25] I will try now [13:25] plitter, that "nothing" is your DNS server addresses [13:26] Professor_G: google ie4linux [13:26] Professor_G: grab an agent switcher for your browser, it wil trick the site into thinking yuo have a different browser [13:26] ZykoticK9: http://pastebin.com/wXWRYKWh this is what i got [13:27] Professor_G, actionparsnip's suggestion above is better then IEs4linux... [13:27] plitter: set your primary dns to 8.8.8.8 and your secondary to 8.8.4.4 you will get a connection then# [13:27] actionparsnip, so the first step is to? [13:27] Is it possible to install ubuntu without a usb flash drive of empty disk? [13:27] Professor_G: what browser are you currently using? [13:27] plitter, if that is with DHCP turned on, you should try seeing if that info is there in Bridged mode [13:27] ilovefairuz, Firefox [13:27] hello! :) [13:28] solow: Huh? Clarify that question. [13:28] abhijit, hiii :) [13:28] :) [13:28] Professor_G: then search the firefox addons. Why not websearch a little based off the information I have given you rather than spoonfeeding. You will learn more [13:28] Professor_G: install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59/ and switch from the tools menu (after you restart firefox) [13:28] Dr_Willis, uhm... It's just like I said. I dont have empty cd disks, and no usb stick atm. And I wish to install ubuntu using nothing but my laptop, and it's hd [13:29] Professor_G: that will make your firefox appear as if it's IE but this may or may not get your site to work properly [13:29] I thought I could create a nother partition with the installation files on it, and merge it with the installation afterward. [13:29] solow: you could use unetbootin to make a 'live' install to a small parition at teh start of the HD.. boot it. then do a normal install to the rest of the HD. (Icky) [13:29] Dr_Willis, kind of like I said :p [13:29] solow: you can use a pxe boot but you will need another pc running the pxe server and your bios must be able to pxe boot [13:29] Hey guys, after I do a sudo update-initramfs i get the error "cannot open scripts/casper-functions [13:30] any ideas why [13:30] Dr_Willis: why icky? that's exactly how I install! :P [13:30] solow: or if you had any other linux's out there.. you could set up grub2 to boot the ISo files from a partition [13:30] solow: then the only way would be to boot from lan - if your laptoop's nic is capable of that..which would also require you to set up a pxe [13:30] sacho: I use flash drives. :) and iso/grub2. [13:30] nice idea [13:30] I'll use the lan [13:30] thanks! [13:30] sacho: or i set up a /restore/ type partition with the iso and grub2 :) [13:30] does anyone know an app that allows you to specify custom file header magic to recover files? [13:31] Dr_Willis: oh, so I was wrong..not exactly, yes, what you said. :s [13:31] Andycas: you can recover files with foremost. Why do yuo not have a backup??

Am on MacOS/Solaris/Debian at the moment so can't confirm, but I don't see why Ubuntu is different [13:45] what did it do for you? [13:45] Is it okay to do everything with root? [13:45] it's quite a bad idea as a rule, sie. You might accidentally trash your system.

[13:45] !root | sie [13:45] sie: 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 [13:45] I don't want to write passwords. [13:46] actionparsnip: i just want it to read that i authored the document? when i say secure i mean that when i post my cv to people they can't copy and paste, i know this is possible with pdf. [13:46] sie: If you run as root one small mistake could kill everything. [13:46] sie, i wouldnt use root to do all. with sudo you are able to do anything what is needed [13:46] sie: You can tell sudo not to ask for a password though. [13:46] sie: you can set your sudo command to be password-less [13:46] Jinxed-: works for me [13:47] Outside of server processes and init.d if I wanted a desktop app to start at system login how could I make that happen? [13:47] Okay, but I can't sudo anymore. It says can't find /etc/sudoers. I think I deleted some folder.

Go on your panel and 'right click' with the mouse on it... Add the corresponding applet. In german it's called 'Benachrichtigungsfeld'. I don't know how they call it in english now.

But adding an exception to sudo which allows me to auto-run wireshark as root is not a good solution in my case. I would much prefer if i could add a user to which would allow me access to the device. [14:24] erUSUL: Basiccaly i just get Nautilus Actions and right click, cipher? [14:24] visof: there should be one in /etc/skel/.bash_logout [14:24] erUSUL: In Nautilus [14:24] visof: don't modify it, copy it to your home dir and edit that [14:24] /etc/skel/.bashrc I mean [14:24] Mikebcbc: yes iirc [14:24] visof: cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/ [14:24] erUSUL: Thanks, You helped alot :) [14:25] Okay I need some help here alpine is driving me crazy - the goal is to hook up to my E-mail that is hosted through Gmail (google apps) - so it is like having a google account - I have edited the .pinerc file to include the following line: inbox-path{pop.gmail.com/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert/mosescomputer@josejr.com}INBOX - I keep getting an error returned that it can not connect [14:25] does somebody know how to lower the delay of raising the focus of a window, by moving a file(or other 'object') above the windowlist in gnome panel?

[14:28] reggi_au shoot [14:28] !raid | reggi_au [14:28] reggi_au: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:29] hey lov255, we're having some disagreement here in the office about something [14:29] lov255: heres the thing... [14:29] Hi, apt-get started giving package unauthenticated for every single package. any ideas? [14:29] lov255: we had a software raid1 setup with two 80GB HDD [14:30] lov255: then we decided to replace one of the 80GB HDD with a 1TB HDD and rebuild it. this worked fine showing a Raid of 80GB total. [14:31] lov255: next, we replaced the remaining 80GB HDD with another 1TB HDD and rebuilt the RAID1. So now, there are two 1TB HDD running in RAID1 but the total size of RAID is only 80GB. Why isn't it 1TB? [14:31] lov255: I say that the RAID needs to be repartitioned and reformated to 1TB [14:31] reggi_au: raid1 is a mirror, so you can only mirror the smallests disk size [14:31] reggi_au: resized the filesystem ? [14:31] reggi_au: It's Possesed and pissed. [14:32] reggi_au Because when you had the both running the TB was partitioned into 80GB and the rest was left to no use [14:32] ikonia: that is correct but now the smallest disk size is 1TGB [14:32] reggi_au: no it's not, it's still 80GB unless you created a new mirror stripe of 1TB [14:32] Hi, i need to disable pulseaudio temporarily for a game. how to? (killing will only reboot it) [14:33] th0r, thanks for your suggestion, but i think you misunderstood my question. I can start tshark/wireshark with any user. But any user simply does not seem to have access to my eth0 device. Only root. Any ideas how i can change the permissions of the eth0 device accordingly? (To my surprise, ubuntu does not keep this in /dev/eth0) [14:33] reggi_au: What you need to do is copy over the data on the TB drive to the new TB drive, repartition the old TB drive and you should be all set [14:33] hi [14:33] magnetron: pasuspender [14:33] YES! thanks everyone.

[14:37] Mikebcbc: maybe you need to restart nautilus ? try loging out and log in again [14:37] I have. I even restarted the computer. [14:37] what does that command do? [14:37] sudo -s [14:37] sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [14:37] When a user is created, by default it creates a folder with read option enabled for all users [14:37] exit [14:37] erUSUL: thats why i was logged out.

[14:38] minimec, which I don't want to do [14:38] erUSUL: I got it in software center though, not in terminal. But i wouldnt think that would be a problem [14:38] erUSUL: No. [14:38] th0r, yes, i know its probably not wise to mess with the permissions. I simply want wireshark to be able to capture packets from interfaces, even if i am not using sudo. AFAIR changing the sudoers file will not change this in any reasonable. It seems more suitable for letting regular users run commands which they otherwise are not allowed to. This is not what i want. [14:38] in this case, messing with the permissions of the device is ok [14:38] ZykoticK9: i think grub waits 0 seconds in grub that's why it doesnt start, wehre do i change this? [14:39] wilhart, with grub2 in /etc/default/grub [14:39] erUSUL: I think i jsut got it. [14:39] erUSUL: One second [14:39] Mikebcbc: ok [14:39] th0r, a solution which requires me to, at any point, type "sudo" is not a solution in this case unfortunately [14:40] ZykoticK9: ok what GRUB_DEFAULT=0 this or ? [14:40] wilhart, that's which OS to boot [14:40] erUSUL: Okay, as i said i got in in software center. and in hte picture there is a configuration tool. But i dont seem to ahve a config tool.

[14:40] valio: I dont get your question [14:40] wilhart, yup [14:40] ZykoticK9: it's at 10 :P [14:41] erUSUL: I foudn it.\ [14:41] Mikebcbc: i tihnk you need to install seahorse [14:41] wilhart, GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [14:41] erUSUL: I was looking in applications, but it was under system.. [14:41] erUSUL: and what is seahorse? [14:41] mgj: you put an exception for yourself using wireshark in the sudoers file, put sudo in the shortcut to wireshark, and the whole thing should then be transparent to you as a user [14:41] wilhart, do you have the same value for hidden timout? [14:41] ZykoticK9: 0 at hidden timeout [14:41] acegiak: I was guessing for th GUI, as there is no xorg.conf generally anymore. It could also be a thing that you might have to add some udev rule, to seperate the xevents from the wacom tablet and other pointer devices. [14:41] Mikebcbc: is a tool to mange encryption keys and the like a kind of gui to gpg and ssh [14:42] wilhart, not sure then man, good luck. that hidden timout =0 should SHOW grub on boot i believe [14:42] I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to install Ubuntu 10.04. How much swap space should I go for? [14:56] 4GB? [14:57] I am having problems with a cisco AE1000 wifi usb stick. It works great for a few awile then it will just disconnect. After every disconnect it then will tell me my password is incorrect, until i reboot then it works again. [14:57] !swap | Indy__ [14:57] Indy__: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [14:57] Indy__: there is a directive that says swap should be at least 2x the size of physical ram [14:57] Hello all I am running kernel 2.6.32-24-generic from 10.04LTS and I am having a wireless disconnect problem. before I was able to solve this by installing backports-modules-jaunty, but that does not seem to be available for this kernel. Is there any way I can get this package for my kernel in the repositories? [14:57] wastl: isn't 8GB of swap too much? [14:57] wastl: that's a bit old-fashioned, i think. [14:58] sipior: so, how much? [14:58] abhijit: how much, then? [14:58] Indy__, 2x when you dont have sufficient. [14:59] abhijit: 8GB of swap?! [14:59] Indy__: with 4GB ram I wouldn't set up swap, but you might want to set aside 1GB or so if you can spare the disk space [14:59] Indy__, in your case you 'will' have sufficeint 4gb space. [14:59] Indy__, no no need ot 8 gb [14:59] Indy__: frankly, it doesn't really matter. 4gb is probably more than enough, unless this is a laptop that you'll be suspending. [14:59] minimec, are you still around? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/9Eb8VHMJ that's my 10-wacom.conf which is apparently the xorg setup for wacom devices these days, is MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" what you were talking about? [14:59] Indy__, yah gb will be ok give a try you can add to it later if you need. bu you will not. 1gb is ok [14:59] Is Open Office 3.2 unstable when ran in combination with certain applications? e.g. Firefox, Eclipse? [14:59] th0r: OK, I will set a swap of 1GB. [15:00] th0r, am i doing it wrong, or will the method you described still require me to type in the sudo password? [15:00] thanks, everybody [15:00] funkyweasel, ask in #openoffice.org [15:00] Indy__: I have 4gb ram and use 2gb swap, and it hardly ever gets used [15:00] funkyweasel: shouldn't be.

[15:00] funkyweasel, hmm [15:00] th0r, alright thanks [15:01] what could cause a pc not to respect BIOS boot listing? I have an old pc here that ignores my "boot from cd first" [15:01] woble: This channel is only for Ubuntu issues, ##hardware would be your best bet for your question. [15:01] whats the startup command for apache? [15:02] acegiak: When you plug your wacom device, it is recognized by the system and a /dev/input/event* is goven to it. * depends on the other devices plugged in. You can verify that when typing 'dmesg' in aconsole right after you plugged the wacom device. [15:02] <[nrx]> ./etc/init.d/httpd start [15:02] <[nrx]> or apachectl start [15:02] itsux2bu: /etc/init.d/apache2 start or apache2ctl start if its apache 2.x [15:02] Pici, its an Ubuntu Live disc. I assume it should work on even the oldest pc's around? Right now it has an "old" 9.04 install running. I assumed 10.04 would work as well then. [15:03] what does that do? sudo -s [15:03] sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [15:03] exit [15:03] woble: you're trying to install ubuntu? have you verified that the disk works in other machines? [15:03] how does one update vlc to 1.2 on 10.04? [15:03] woble: how old we talking here? [15:04] acegiak: You can also add a udev rule to your system. Like that, your tablet is always recognized the same way. search the net for wacom udev or even better, take the 1b96:0001 product number in combination with 'udev' and 'ubuntu' [15:04] sipior, yes, its the same disc i used on other machines as well. but it looks like it doesnt boot up or something. The system hangs on "atapi cdrom" and then continues with GRUB after 2 minutes. Its an old gateway, 256mb RAM,80gb HD [15:04] minimec, I'll have a look [15:05] acegiak: bad news ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-wacom/+bug/510311 [15:05] I am having problems with a cisco AE1000 wifi usb stick.

[15:05] funkyweasel, no its not [15:05] funkyweasel, 63 people there [15:06] The links here are outdated: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt Where can I find the latest alternative amd64 torrent? [15:06] abhijit: Few are interacting. [15:06] funkyweasel, yah [15:06] minimec, aaah, bugger [15:07] woble: you might try the xubuntu live cd, with lower memory requirements. [15:07] acegiak: Well... at least you know the source of your problem... [15:07] woble: anyway, it would help to eliminate one variable. [15:07] minimec, and I know where to watch as well [15:07] sipior, i will give it a try.. i might try it with a bootable USB as well [15:08] how do i find out if apache is already running? [15:08] I'm thinking of downloading the Alpha 3 of Maverick Meerkat, and I have a core i5 processor in my laptop, should I go for the 32 or 64 bit download? [15:08] ps ? [15:09] itsux2bu: ps -aux | grep apache will tell you [15:09] craigmarshall9: ask in #ubuntu+1 [15:09] erUSUL: thanks [15:09] acegiak: just flying through the bug posts. They don't use a specific udev rule, as I see. There maybe some hope. udev is the service that manages the usb devices. adding a custom rule might help udev to do the right choice... [15:09] Salut les Geeks :D [15:09] acegiak: I would search the net a bit... [15:09] minimec, ok I'll keep looking [15:10] * Humanbomb search french [15:10] On default ubuntu, where can can you hook in specific kill signals upon hibernate?

[15:12] The system hungs (even without X) and seems random. With a kernel without PAE it happens as well. Ubuntu 10.4 fresh install. [15:12] Hi! Can anyone tell me how I do a fresh install of ubuntu on a software raid 5 array? [15:12] sipior, like? e.g.? [15:13] TOMSKi: I believe you need to use the alternate CD, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID for details. [15:13] nanix_: did you verify your hardware, in special your memory? [15:13] thx [15:13] I got no problems with memory. I verified, as well as the installation cd [15:14] henkpoley: have a look at the acpid man page. i think you can get it to do what you want. [15:14] nanix_: its just to make sure....so describe your problem from the start [15:14] during installation the cdlive hand several times, I had to try again and again to install ubuntu [15:14] The hardware works with a Ubuntu cd live 9.10 that I have. But not with the new ubuntu 10.4 === kad_ is now known as help` [15:15] nanix_: ok, you verified md5 checksum of the iso image? you tried to burn another medium? [15:15] beli, the problem is that my computer hangs even without X, with just tty. It seems randomly, and it's very quick after the start. [15:15] how do i recover mysql databases from a not working ext3 file system ? [15:15] I checksum, I tried using a pendrive as well. Same result [15:15] Just got the email about 10.04.1 available. Was wondering if there is a way to to an upgrade / update to 10.04.1 [15:16] gwallace1553, try running "lsb_release -a" you might already have it ;) [15:16] nanix_: ok...seems to be kernel stuff....do you know what sysrq is? [15:16] adityag: depends on the extent of the damage. what happened, exactly? [15:16] gwallace1553: If you've been applying updates, you're already at .1 [15:16] adityag, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [15:17] nanix_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key you can do low level stuff with it on the linux kernel on most "hangs" [15:17] I did chroot to the guest Os Ubuntu 10.4 from the cdlive and installed the kernel without PAE and same result. [15:17] ZykoticK9, That shows a description of 10.04.1 Pici: I have been getting all the updates, just wanted to make sure that I was already there. Thanks for the help guys [15:18] hi ... is there a way to use the unity docking bar with gnome? [15:18] sipior: my ubuntu installation has stopped working... how do i recover all the databases? [15:18] beli, how can I system request is? If I'm logged in using ssh the connection fails [15:18] I didn't see anything relevant on the logs, but I can post them [15:18] Well... I didn't know what to look for, so I was looking for warnings and errors [15:18] How can I see which system request causes the possible kernel hang? [15:18] nanix_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:19] btw, the answer to my question is: create a script in /etc/pm/sleep/ that does the things you need. Other scripts in there can be used as template. [15:19] nanix_: you could also enable sync log file writing for the system stuff...so you may get information in the logs, you need to adjust the syslogd settings to log sync and mount the partition as sync (fstab) [15:19] adityag: when i asked you "what happened, exactly?", i was hoping for slightly more detail. [15:19] on boot my wife's machine complained about a volume in fstab could not be mounted and dropped me to a maintenance shell. how can i figure out which device it is complaining about? there are 3 drives connected to her system. (9.10) [15:20] beli, it sounds easier to enable the sync log. I'll try first that [15:20] nanix_: i would also try to drop acpi stuff....its just a guess...but had some systems in the past with acpi making problems/hangs [15:21] hai [15:21] sipior: i have no idea what happened, but the HDD got corrupted some how & ubuntu does nt start, now i want to recover all the mysql databases. [15:21] acegiak: Is that a fresh install? Why don't you just step back and install 9.10? Could this be an option? [15:21] beli, I tried with acpi=off noapic nolapic with same results [15:21] adityag: what errors are given at startup? [15:21] (if any_ [15:21] Howdy [15:21] A question to 64 Bit Ubuntu 10.04, do i still need --force-architecture to install 32 Bit Applications? [15:21] jimmy51_: cat /etc/fstab [15:21] is there a way to force a downgrade via apt-get? [15:21] sipior: unalble to mount /tmp [15:21] minimec, it's not a fresh install but I could perhaps jump back if I needed to [15:22] beli: ok, i see the items i want to mount [15:22] beli: oh... i see. i should write down the UUID that it compaliedn about [15:22] (complained) [15:22] minimec, I'm gonna have a go with chucking in a custom udev rule file because I've found a thread for similar with my device [15:22] minimec, I'll keep you posted :P [15:22] FloodBot2: [16:18:55] [Notice] -ChanServ- [#ubuntu] Welcome to #ubuntu! ... please use #ubuntu ! there...#ubuntu! sends to wrong channel [15:22] adityag: have you tried booting the system from a live cd? you could attempt to mount the disk, maybe give a better idea of what's going on. [15:22] mweijts: Excuse me? [15:22] acegiak: If your /home is on a seperate partition, I would install 9.10.. [15:23] acegiak: Nice. THat would be cool for the other affected people too.. [15:23] beli, how to enable the syslogd to log? Is in sysctl.conf or I'm completly wrong? [15:23] minimec, well my /pile is on it's own partition which is my main storage area shared across both OSes [15:23] sipior: i have currently started the system from a live disk, now i want to locate the mysql databases in the file system, i have no idea where they are located [15:24] beli: i just rebooted and noticed it's saying one or more and lists several UUID's. how can i tell which one is the problem? [15:24] oh I have rsyslog [15:24] sipior: i have mounted the ext3 partition [15:24] nanix_: untuntu is using rsyslogd [15:24] Pici: thats the channel welcome message from the server for this channel [15:24] adityag: try /var/lib/mysql [15:24] Vanadis_Work, if you are installing 32bit DEBs then yes [15:25] jimmy51_: since its not booting, it may be something system involved.....like / or /boot/ [15:25] acegiak: So no problem with that... maybe backup the .* folders of your /home/yourname directory, and you are good... (just in case) [15:26] oi [15:26] minimec, disappearing for a second [15:26] acegiak: np [15:26] eai galera [15:26] adityag: take care! DONT boot your faulty system. use a live cd, mount your disc, copy your mysql data directory away....THEN start to fix the problem or run a mysqld from your live run and try to dump the data [15:27] sipior: cool... i see all the databases [15:27] crap. it looks like it's her /home. when i try to mount it (mount /dev/sdb5 /home) i get "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock. IO Error, dev sdb, sector 483143926 DRDY ERR, etc [15:27] How to enable sync log for rsyslogd? I find nothing related to sync on rsyslog.conf man [15:27] is there a utility to try to repair it? [15:27] jimmy51_: fsck [15:28] kyentei: { fsck /dev/sdb5 } ? [15:28] jimmy51_: /home is not HERE home...its the home of ALL users but the superuser...thats under /root [15:28] jimmy51_, i'd check "dmesg" and see if your drive is getting errors [15:28] jimmy51_: And if everything else fails, create a clone of the disk (dd if=/dev/sdb5 of=whatever.img) and then let forensic toolkit foremost recover the files on it. [15:28] beli: im on live cd now.... at /var/lib/mysql , [15:29] jimmy51_: And yes, mind what beli said there. /home is everybody's home. But try and repair it. [15:29] jimmy51_: fsck --help [15:29] adityag: copy the whole directory to different storage medium [15:29] beli: ok... wait let me copy [15:29] nao etnetndi [15:30] beli Brasil [15:30] monitor: nope, german [15:30] !brasil | monitor [15:30] Does that work? ^_^ [15:30] I guess it doesn't.

[15:31] jimmy51_: After it's done and still does not work ;-) Remember to dd to a location with at least the size of sdb5. [15:31] blink: masking tape :) [15:32] german yes [15:32] jimmy51_: But that's really your "if all else fails" option. [15:32] blink: sorry, don't know [15:32] adityag: depends on your config. but i dont think so [15:32] acegiak: Looks tricky, but it's often easier than you think... [15:32] kyentei: uh oh. it's gotta be bigger, even if sdb5 isn't fully utilized? it's a 500GB drive with about 1 GB of baby pictures [15:32] adityag: take a look into the logs of your mounted partition [15:33] minimec, well I created /etc/udev/rules.d/70-wacom-tablet.rules [15:33] jimmy51_: Yea, because you're cloning the entire partition with dd. Just pray fsck works.. and search other alternatives before using dd. [15:33] Anyone? resize ntfs partition with ubuntu - possible? [15:33] minimec, and put in the rules I found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxwacom-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00987.html [15:33] minimec, but no change in behaviour [15:33] beli: i just installed mysql from apt, dint make any changes to its config... i want to format this ubuntu system & reinstall it [15:33] minimec, unless I now also need to change my xorg.conf [15:33] craigmarshall9, "usually", i think you might need some ntfs package - i'm not the person to know... [15:33] jimmy51_: I guess you could use foremost on the partition itself too.. you can filter for, for instance, .jpeg files and all that. [15:34] jimmy51_: http://ion-box.org/#foremost [15:34] adityag: dont do that....look out for the error....if its your hardware..the error is going to come back...next time maybe crashing more [15:34] i use ubuntu 10.04. i close my computer and i unplug all cablo s (the electricity). i re-open my computer but now there is no sound from ubuntu. but windows work fine. can you help me about this situation please.

[15:46] does anyone know of a simple good text or doc or file encrypter for linux [15:46] ExtremeDpup, for purposes of install? then the alternate would be a good choice as it works when the live sometimes does not [15:46] adityag: and take care of the permissions... [15:46] textencrypt: gnupg is quite serviceable === TsGh is now known as TsGhAk47 [15:46] TsGh, gui for what [15:47] no.i just want to the live cd mode. [15:47] ubuntu 10.4 [15:47] Awesome thanks sipior [15:47] minimec, and this is what I've got as my udev rules file: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Vc1DfHMY [15:47] TsGhAk47, it has one already [15:47] i want a different one [15:47] beli: i gave 777 to /var/lib/mysql to copy to another storage medium. ..

I have 10.0.4 on laptop. Is it necessary that I install laptop-mode-tools or it comes with a built in ? [15:48] acegiak: ok. you are right... Forget, what I said. This is good. now unplug the device, open aconsole and sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart Then plug in the device. [15:48] TsGhAk47, change the theme? [15:48] Is there a way to take a snapshot of my ubuntu 10.04 system so if something were to happen I could have it restored exactly the way it is today [15:49] not theme but whole gui like to kde [15:49] !themes | TsGhAk47 [15:49] TsGhAk47: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [15:49] TsGhAk47: you can use xbuntu for kde [15:49] hi [15:49] nanix: sure its not hardware issue? did you boot from another live distro to verify if it hangs too? [15:49] Jinxed-, if you have a big enough external drive you can make an image of your harddrive [15:49] ok gotcha thanks everyone [15:49] i want to make a firewall (with iptables) on ubuntu 10.4 [15:49] Wonder if the Ubuntu smartbook release 10.7 is available somewhere for download? [15:49] TsGhAk47, kubuntu-desktop then [15:49] i'm not proffessional on ubuntu and linux [15:49] how start to it [15:50] !une > lili [15:50] lili, please see my private message [15:50] beli: i gave 777 to /var/lib/mysql to copy to another storage medium. .. & how do i restore these databases ? [15:50] nanix, is the numpad your mouse now ? change this in system > keyboard [15:50] TsGhAk47: err sorry kbuntu for kde xbuntu for XFCE [15:50] whoops sorry lill [15:50] lili, you could try gufw [15:50] minimec, done, try it? [15:50] adityag: like i told you before....the databases are in /var/lib/mysql.......mysqld gets all the information from there.... [15:50] yacc, you mean ubuntu netbook edition [15:50] yea ubuntu is a lil different from fedora 13 i just switched yesterday [15:51] acegiak: well... try it.... [15:51] minimec, just checking there's nothing else to do first [15:51] ubuntu [15:51] ? [15:51] minimec, still getting the continual mousedown problem [15:51] lili, install the package guwf [15:51] lili, gufw is the graphical firewall frontend [15:51] trijntje, how would i go about imaging it === maku`off is now known as maku [15:51] beli: so i should put these backups again to the same folder & access them ? & hey i gave 777 to copy them, i know its wrong, can u tell me the right permissions ? [15:51] adityag: to save wahts in there in sql foramt...use mysqldump [15:52] ubuntu bazhang trijntje: i dont know them [15:52] beli: & others? [15:52] i have to install it from source [15:52] bazhang, Ubuntu Netbook Edition for ARM then :-P [15:52] lili, install it and try? [15:52] sudo apt-get install gufw lili [15:52] acegiak: Well we tried it... Maybe 9.10 is a solution, but first try the device with the live CD ;) [15:52] apt-get started giving package unauthenticated for every single package. any ideas? [15:52] bazhang: no [15:53] lili, zero reason to compile it [15:53] minimec, yeah I'll just have to survive without for now [15:53] Jinxed-, best way to do it is to first zero all empty space on the drive with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=./bigfile' [15:53] beli: there are hardly any sql formats in it.... most of them are FRM, MYI, MYD [15:53] adityag: try it with 777 and then look into the mysql log ;) but it has to be 700 and mysql:mysql [15:53] Jinxed-, you might want to check out Clonezilla (there is a LiveCD version), it's similar to Norton Ghost [15:54] hi i spelled my name wrong when i installed ubuntu .. how can i change this so that it shows up correctly when i log in? [15:54] I know there has to be some slashdot readers here. Has anyone else had problems with the auto-more feature, the one where it automatically loads more articles when you scroll to the bottom of the page? Any ideas why this may no longer be working for me? [15:54] Ok beli after the system hangs, the magic sysrq doesn't work [15:54] . Actually the bloq num on the keyboard doesn't work as well [15:54] lontra, create a new user with the correct name [15:54] users and groups .. ok [15:54] acegiak: ON the other hand... maverick comes with a new xorg... maybe that bug is gone with 10.10 ... [15:54] beli: ok got you on that. restoring databases just requires me to copy these backed up files to a new installation of ubuntu to /var/lib/mysql ? [15:54] How to enable sync log for rsyslogd? I find nothing related to sync on rsyslog.conf man [15:55] nanix: i read that...and i asked if you verified with another distribution or older ubuntu if its really no hardware problem [15:55] Jinxed-, then remove that bigfile and use 'dd if=/dev/sda | gzip > /path/to/image.img' to create the image [15:55] adityag: right, but stop mysqld before you do that [15:55] ottermaton, it stopped working on my system as well ??? [15:55] minimec, biding my time sounds more my style [15:55] Jinxed-, then you can restore it later with 'gzip -dc /path/to/image.img | dd of=/dev/sda' [15:55] beli: ok. thanks a lot.... god bless you!!! [15:55] adityag: and take a look into mysqld log files after doing it... [15:55] Jinxed-, modify /path/ and /dev/sda to suit your needs [15:56] beli: ok. thanks [15:56] adityag: and dont exscpect ALL dbs to be correct afterwards since you had bad sectors... [15:56] acegiak: If it's worth waiting... [15:56] ZykoticK9, I wonder if it's something not working on slashdot's side [15:57] beli: what if there were no bad sectors in these files? it will work correctly, right ? [15:57] adityag: i would also first try to repair your actual harddrive...and after repair see if mysql is fine with the databases.... [15:57] adityag: right [15:57] ottermaton, that would be my "guess" [15:57] beli: im giving away my HDD for replacement [15:58] beli: its under guarantee, new HDD is cool [15:58] My connection is really bad :( [15:58] bazhang, I don't see much beyond youtube videos of demos, but no download for the ARM stuff :( [15:58] adityag: try to fix the problems first...then you can see if your dbs are fine [15:58] I was saying that after the system freezes, magic sysrq cannot reboot the machine. [16:00] nanix_: thats why i thinks its an hardware issue...io/cable/memory/... [16:00] adityag: read -> man badblocks [16:01] mmm... If it's not the memory (it's tested) what else can it be? And how can I check it? [16:02] how do i view hidden folders( . ) in nautilius ? [16:02] adityag, ctrl + h [16:03] has anyone used mercurial? do they like it? [16:03] trijntje, Is there a way to make a "live cd" with a gui of my current settigns so that if I wanted to install ubuntu on more computers I could have the exact same setup [16:04] Jinxed-, It is possible but i've never done it, google for 'custom live cd' or something like that [16:04] nanix_: anything in the synced syslog?

[16:35] ...he asked on a linux support channel [16:35] KomiaPoika, that's offtopic for this channel [16:36] KomiaPoika: I don't know, never tried freebsd. I do think that everything in Linux works that I've run across. Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:36] sampleee2, so sorry [16:36] sampleee2, s/so/no [16:36] so i just installed another HD into my system. before i had a fakeraid with /home on a seperate partition. I added the HD (/dev/sdc1) [16:37] then i changed the old /home partition to /home/user/Downloads and the new hd to /home/astra [16:37] well user=astra [16:37] Which program is supposed to popup that I inserted an usb key? [16:37] yet nautilus is still confusing that has a /home [16:37] and my nautilus mount points are all screwey [16:37] It is not working, but the kernel shows I inserted a device without error messages. [16:38] which webbrowser you recommend? firefox feels so slow... [16:38] owd95, chromium-browser is one alternative [16:38] owd95, chromium-browser [16:38] ZykoticK9, anyways just cause that file had some french parts. this what installation of nvidia said: http://paste.ubuntu.com/479976/ [16:39] fasta: whats the different between chromium-browser and google-chrome that you can download from ther website? [16:39] owd95, I never looked at the diff, but I think it does less tracking. [16:40] sampleee2, there appears to be a problem with your jockey (Hardware Drivers) for some reason - I'm affraid I have no suggestion though. Good luck man.

I don't have access to CDRom... [16:43] I can mount the 10.04 Server LTS CD locally... but isn't there an easier way by just pointing it towards 10.04 Server LTS sources?

[16:43] !chromium > owd95 [16:43] Berto, you can't go from Desktop to Server without clean installing [16:43] ZykoticK9, ugh... yuck. I'm in a no-support zone :( [16:43] OceanSurf: easy [16:44] Berto, also you need alternativecd to upgrade with [16:44] * guampa brushes teeth [16:44] ZykoticK9: why can't you? Seems like you should be able to. If nothing else, can install it to a separate partition... [16:44] ok gotit [16:44] econdudeawesome, of course you could dual boot desktop/server [16:45] guampa i have teh ethernet cable plugged into both.....next step? [16:45] ahh there [16:46] wai a sec [16:46] I made a package with checkinstall but when I try and install the package I receive this error: "unable to create `/selinux/context.dpkg-new' (while processing `./selinux/context'): Permission denied" anyone know how to get around this problem? [16:46] FirstgearOne, reading the error might help? [16:47] FirstgearOne, obviously you don't have the permission to execute that. [16:47] OceanSurf: right click on the connection manager, over the notification area [16:47] yes im installing it as sudo dpkg -i package.deb so why isn't it working? [16:47] FirstgearOne, sudo is not root. [16:47] in WinXP or in Ubuntu? [16:47] OceanSurf: in ubuntu [16:48] FirstgearOne, not that there is a default root on Ubuntu, but still. [16:48] fasta, yes it is.. sudo = execute as root [16:48] <[nrx]> "Super User Do" [16:48] im not sure where that is...looking now. [16:48] [nrx], actually no - switch user do [16:48] OceanSurf: near the clock [16:48] FirstgearOne, does it work when you do it really as root? [16:48] <[nrx]> ZykoticK9, yeah, but I was trying to make it more simple to understand because in Ubuntu you don't *actually* switch user [16:48] my clock is at the bottom near the two Workspace icons [16:49] can i access this from teh systems tab [16:49] fasta:I'll try that now [16:49] bbl - good luck guys [16:50] FirstgearOne, and it might be that selinux has all kinds of special policies which disallow what you want to do. In principle root should be able to do everything. [16:51] fasta: still get the error even as root [16:52] FirstgearOne, then you have to find the exact call which returns there is no "permission". [16:52] might be because I used "checkinstall" to make the package [16:52] hello can someone help me? My laptop's internal wifi stopped working yesterday and has been working on and off since then, I'm on a usb wifi adapter now [16:52] it's an atheros r5001 if that makes a difference [16:52] isn't /selinux a virtual filesystem like /proc? Not sure, but possibly worth checking === emanuel is now known as Guest40515 [16:53] hi [16:53] FirstgearOne, what does mount | grep selinux return? [16:53] please help: how can i install python2.5 on ubuntu 10.04 i didn't find it in the synaptic [16:53] none on /selinux type selinuxfs (rw,relatime) [16:54] Hi, as a home user, shoudl I be worrying about my system's entropy levels, or is that over-kill for everyday needs? [16:54] Hello everyone...i've got a problem...i've just made a clean install of ubuntu 10.04 on my pc, and when i get in, after a couple of seconds the screen turns blank and i can only see and move the mouse pointer [16:54] had to hard reset [16:54] FirstgearOne, selinuxfs probably has semantics that I don't know. [16:54] any ideas anyone? [16:54] FirstgearOne, since you use selinuxfs, I assume you know what you are doing. [16:55] aar: frankly, yes it is over-kill :-) [16:55] fasta: :o) how do I remove selinuxfs and place selinux on there [16:55] H2O, it's the graphics driver is not working, i assume that ur VGA is Intel [16:55] hello can someone help me? My laptop's internal wifi stopped working yesterday and has been working on and off since then, I'm on a usb wifi adapter now [16:55] please help: how can i install python2.5 on ubuntu 10.04 i didn't find it in the synaptic [16:56] FirstgearOne, I cannot understand that sentence. [16:56] FirstgearOne, selinuxfs is the name of the file system. [16:56] FirstgearOne, it is also the layer which says you do not have permission. [16:56] ghassen_: i have Nvidia Geforce chipset, and ati radeon graphic card....i think it's the graphics driver too...but how to fix this?? [16:56] fasta: that makes sense thanks [16:56] ghassen_: does apt-cache search python2.5 not report anything? [16:56] FirstgearOne, now, it might be that writing to selinuxfs is not possible to begin with. [16:57] If I run "do-release-upgrade -m server" -- will this give me 10.04 Server LTS? Is there a difference between 10.04 Server and 10.04 Server LTS? [16:57] FirstgearOne, so, it returns the silly message "no permission". [16:57] FirstgearOne, basically you are using a badly written program. [16:57] fasta: I think it's old [16:57] FirstgearOne, or rather one without special code for common cases. [16:57] ghassen_: i now booted in netroot and tried to upgrade, but i get a strange error... E: Method http had died unexpectedly! E: Sub-process http recieved a sementation fault [16:57] FirstgearOne, you could say it is a design flaw in the file-system API. [16:58] Although, there probably is a way to report to e.g. the kernel log that something went wrong or another log. [16:58] fasta: thanks for your help will look into it. [16:58] FirstgearOne, probably selinux has some kind of log. [16:59] hi. I'm thinking of setting up a RAID array on my home computer. Anyone know about some good guides/FAQ's/tutorials or what not to do? The end result: Ubuntu and W7 dual boot; RAID1 partition for pictures/documents/music/etc; RAID0 partition for video editing/movies/games [16:59] FirstgearOne, which package is it anyway? [16:59] H2O, it happened to me one on when i wanted to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 , the only solution is to go back to a version that works fine on ur pc , and then upgrade by update manager, it worked from me :) [17:00] I made it myself. it's the later development of swftools [17:00] ghassen_: but i don't remember which one worked... 8.04 i think [17:00] sipior, i found nothing [17:00] fasta, but I used "checkinstall" to make it [17:01] ghassen_: why does it say Segmentation fault when i try to do 'sudo apt-get upgrade'? [17:01] no 9.10 didn't work H2O [17:01] segmentation fault? anyone? [17:02] H2O, the program crashed ;) [17:02] try it , u have nothing to lose [17:02] time? [17:02] segfault is the second most generic error message on unix, only beaten by "error" v.v [17:02] i don't want to have an old version of linux [17:02] anyone knows how to install python2.5 on ubuntu 10.04 [17:02] 8.04.... [17:02] try another version then [17:03] does medibuntu have latest mplayer ? smplayer says that my mplayer is too old [17:03] i assume that ur pc is old right? [17:03] ok i have another question then.... does the installation of ubuntu automatically download and install updates if internet connection is present during installation??? [17:03] ghassen_ yes, but not that much old... [17:04] it seems my alsa crashed, how do i restart it? [17:04] try lubuntu is light weight version, it may work [17:04] Roland: could it be because i didn't update the source list before doing upgrade? :) [17:04] H2O, if you do an upgrade.. the latest packages are downloaded.. when installing from an USB disk/CD don't think so [17:05] What is a good transfer rate over an ssh tunnel? I'm getting about 80 - 90 KB/sec. [17:05] how do i setup medibuntu to lucid [17:06] H2O, well segfault means the application tried to read some data from memory where it wasn't allowed to. So the cause could have been anything :D.... totally unhelpful :D === sam_ is now known as sinusoid [17:06] oh yeah.. i can used xchat ... huhu~~ === bulldog is now known as bulldog98 [17:06] hi i mounted a partition but ls returns nothing [17:06] Roland now it stopped at a different point [17:06] !medibuntu | wilhart [17:06] wilhart: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [17:07] wilhart, did you look here ? http://medibuntu.org/ [17:07] I'd like to know the answer to Friar's Q as well - 80-90KB/sec sounds bad - I thought usenet downloads went through SSL tunnels [17:07] Roland kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! .... what does this mean [17:07] wilhart, you can go to the "Repository how to " on that link or "Packages" for downloading individual packages === Debian is now known as Guest24426 [17:07] @h2o:probably your filesystem settings are incorrect [17:08] dorbin, I have a server at home, and I want to transfer some movies from it...I'm abroad for work right now....but it takes forever. I'm transferring a few GB right now and it says 22 hours. [17:08] can someone help im sure its a simple problem [17:08] does anyone advise some other ubuntu-like desktop linux? ... coz this one is eating up my nerves pretty quickly [17:08] Friar: so what's the issue [17:08] H2O: no, we just discuss ubuntu in here [17:08] H2O, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=kernel+panic [17:08] is it normal for X in lucid to be using 800m of memory with 2g of virtual? [17:09] Friar: have you checked the max speed of your line? [17:09] hassanz, if you type "mount" in a terminal does it show what you mounted? [17:09] ikonia, it just seems like it is a really slow transfer rate. I'm just trying to clear up some confusion on what sort of rates I can expect, and if there is a way to check upload/dl speed on each end. [17:09] mbeierl: it can do, depends on your drivers and your compiz config [17:09] Hi, how can I make sed deletes all the lines starts with $1 form file $2 ? [17:09] Friar: depends on your line ;) and....your home server...maybe its really slow and encrypting stuff takes time... [17:09] Friar: that's not really anything to do with ubuntu, you'd need to speak to your line providers [17:09] I have checked here, and it is much higher than that.... [17:10] msg tcopeland http://www.yamaha.com/yec/compare/Detail.html?compitem1=&compitem2=5117694&compitem3=5117636&CTID=5000700&VNM=LIVE&B_compare.x=26&B_compare.y=14&comp_items=5117694&comp_items=5117636 [17:10] ZykoticK9: yes id does [17:10] oops that was supposed to be a private message, sorry [17:10] Is it possible to force the use of the VESA driver by a grub parameter? [17:10] ikonia: thanks. nvidia and compiz, full wobbly and 4 sided cube. been that way for many releases but this is the first time X has gotten so huge. [17:10] hassanz, so can you cd to where it is mounted? [17:10] Hi, how can I make sed deletes all the lines starts with $1 form file $2 ? [17:10] yes but it dont go any further [17:10] hey... lets say i have a folder with a filesystem inside (used as chroot) and i want to transform that folder content into a .img file to transform to a .vdi and load into virtualbox... how do i make the .img? [17:10] Friar: setup a webserver that points to your movie directory and has dirlisting available...try to download it that way.... [17:10] dorbin, beli, ikonia, thanks for the info...even if it isn't what I wanted to hear. at least I know there isn't anything wrong with my server... [17:10] Hi All, please help me my VGA is not working [17:11] i need help with plymouth... i guess, i have nvidia propietary drivers installed, and my pc just starts when it wants, i only see a black screen of death and thats pretty much it... any ideas how to solve this? [17:11] beli, could my isp be throttling down certain ports? [17:11] Friar: it CAN be your server.....a 133 mhz server is encrypting slowly [17:11] lucas-arg, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [17:11] ZykoticK9: 10.04 32bits [17:12] lucas-arg, ok - i was just checking it wasn't 10.10 (which has an nvidia issue right now). I have no suggestions for you - Good luck. [17:12] Hi All, please help me my VGA is not working [17:12] beli, it is an old p4 at 1.7 GHz with 4GB of ram and 2 SATA I drives in RAID1 [17:13] !ask | lava1 [17:13] lava1: 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. :-) [17:13] damn why plymouth? i was so happy before [17:13] odesk: sed -e "/^foo/d" [17:13] odesk: also: "info sed" [17:13] ZykoticK9: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/AW9JKH75 please help [17:13] !plymouth [17:13] Friar: should be fine....but if no extra security is needed, try the webserver solution i told to you [17:13] i get flickering while watching 1080p [17:14] beli, I'm going to try the webserver thing right now to see what I get.....i have a what if, but I'll wait. [17:14] thanks [17:15] hassanz, you have something gnome is automounting to /home/hunterseeker/.gvfs - is that what you are trying to mount? [17:15] I am using VGA to display to external monitor, when i did system test, i saw blank sreen on my tv but then the system hangs, how do i resolve this issue [17:15] im just trying to access this automounted drive from console [17:15] does anyone know of a good Skype alternative? The Skype client for linux is _horrible_... [17:16] hassanz, "cd /home/hunterseeker/.gvfs" [17:16] should i use vpdau or xv ? [17:16] with mplayer [17:16] lava1: which graphic card are you using? [17:16] wilhart, do you have nvidia? [17:16] wilhart: vdpau if you have a recent nvidia card [17:16] Banished, iam not sure how to check that [17:16] its the IBM_PRELOAD i want to access :/ [17:16] lava1: open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t), lspci | grep VGA [17:17] /quit [17:17] hola [17:17] hassanz, "cd /home/hunterseeker/.gvfs" is still my answer? [17:17] ZykoticK9: iu have nvidia yes [17:17] alguien habla español [17:17] ZykoticK9: how do i enable vpdau then ? [17:18] Banished, this is the output for it "0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)" [17:18] !es | migue_ [17:18] wilhart, you need to have libvdpau1 installed to use vpdau i believe [17:18] migue_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [17:18] ZykoticK9: in .mplayer/config ? [17:18] wilhart, install the lib then test with "mplayer -vo vdpau $FILENAME" [17:18] ZykoticK9: it says "bash: cd: /home/hunterseeker/.gvfs: Permission denied" [17:18] hassanz, what filesystem type are you using? [17:19] lava1: you just plugged in the external monitor and then? [17:19] its ntfs [17:19] hassanz, oh sorry i can't help then, good luck. [17:19] does apt or dpkg have a capability to list the attribute changes (e.g., permissions, ownership, modification date, etc.) for files installed as part of a package? [17:19] Fresh install of 10.04 on an Inspiron 4000. Not seeing my wifi card, which worked with the last version of Ubuntu I used on this machine. How to get this working with minimal fuss? [17:19] Hi :) I ve just installed the Hamster time tracking applet... I m aware that it does not create a short cut in the Applications menu dropdown and needs to be added in some other way coz its an applet.. just cant remember how to do that.. please help [17:20] pbx, plug in ethernet - do all updates, then check System / Admin / Hardware drivers [17:20] Barnished, "then i entered "fn+f8 on my keyboard i.e external crt/lcd" [17:20] ZykoticK9: thanks, the compiz --replace worked. [17:20] ZykoticK9: No ethernet. [17:20] ZykoticK9: what lib? === will_ is now known as seekwill [17:20] Barnished, I am not seeing the display on my tv [17:20] lava1: rather try the System->Settings->Displays applet [17:20] wilhart, libvdpau1 [17:21] pbx: which wifi card? can you post dmesg output? [17:21] pbx, you probably need it [17:21] just setup a system with a mdadm raid and it failed at boot asking if I want to boot degraded. The drives look like they are resyncing. Will booting degraded allow this to finish resyncing? [17:22] whenever I boot up my ubuntu laptop it goes to an (initramfs) command prompt and not my desktop wtf [17:22] John__: what does it say? [17:23] um [17:23] beli, when I set it to download a movie from the website it goes at about 110 - 113 KB/s but the speed of the SSH transfer didn't slow down at all.....it is still at 92 KB/s and has been going for a few minutes like this now. [17:23] busybox v1.13.3 ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11 built in shell (ash) engter help for al ist of build in comamnds [17:23] John__: anything else? [17:24] it worked, thanks [17:24] (initramfs) and a blinking _ [17:24] hi [17:24] well above it it has a bunch of stuff [17:24] let me take a picture [17:24] is there a way to know which package contains /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg [17:24] kaushal: dpkg -S /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg [17:25] dpkg: /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg not found. [17:25] Friar: so than its slow encrypting [17:25] kaushal, i'm just guessing but perhaps nagios3? [17:25] ZykoticK9: I can't post full dmesg output because the machine is not online. Card is a Tellus C100 (I Googled its FCC ID). What next? Network access not an option. I could copy files to the machine via USB key if needed. [17:25] ZykoticK9: ok vo="vpdau" #video out, i'll add this in .mplayer/config then from filemanager open file with mplayer ? [17:25] beli, I see....that is a matter of the server not being able to encrypt it fast enough? does it encrypt it if it is just password? I don't have a key activated on the ssh side. [17:25] pbx, it wasn't me who asked for dmesg output. Without internet I can't help - hopefully someone else can. Good luck. [17:26] wilhart, i'd test before you add that to config!!! [17:26] pbx: best copy dmesg to usb [17:26] http://yfrog.com/nf0000805j [17:26] kaushal: not part of any package, then. [17:26] ZykoticK9: audio is coming after doesnt sync [17:26] banished: OK, doing that now [17:26] now in sync again [17:27] wilhart, try with the xv output then [17:27] John__: did it do that right after installation? [17:27] ZykoticK9: i tried it flickers vpdau is good no flickering [17:27] wilhart, try with the gl output then (sorry) [17:27] no I installed yesterday [17:27] I booted it up today with the screen closed and it didn't go to my desktop [17:27] John__: so it worked at first? [17:27] said like john-laptop login: [17:27] yes banished [17:27] and I typed john and my password, and tried startx but it didnt' work so I held in the power button [17:27] did you do anything since then? [17:27] should i be using ext4 on a raid array? [17:28] and then I tried to turn it on again and this happened [17:28] i would think no [17:28] ZykoticK9: gl output ? [17:28] ezhangin: why not? [17:28] wilhart, gl over xv, but vdpau is better! [17:28] banished: am I going to have to reinstall? [17:28] silverraindog: not sure, i've heard not to [17:28] I forgot my root password but have sudo access [17:28] can I change it? [17:28] John__: can you type fschk there? [17:29] !root | gdoteof [17:29] gdoteof: 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 [17:29] ezhangin: well, that's a powerful argument :-) [17:29] /bin/sh: fschk: not found [17:29] Barnished, I did as you suggested, the tv was displayed with blank screen, and system came with blank screen and keyboard and mouse got hung [17:29] silverraindog: can't find a guide for it also [17:29] oops [17:29] sipior: i mean i've heard that multiple times [17:29] John__: sorry, fsck [17:29] lol, sorry for the vagueness [17:29] gdoteof: well sudo has the same access as root. ubuntu has no root password [17:29] not found [17:29] ZykoticK9: I have a root, I just forgot the password [17:30] gdoteof, not supported here then [17:30] hrm. maybe i don't have a root [17:30] John__: you can boot from a LiveCD and run it from there [17:30] ok. thanks [17:30] annoying to type sudo .. [17:30] sudo .. [17:30] !noroot | gdoteof [17:30] gdoteof: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [17:30] gdoteof: you can set it again with sudo passwd, or unset it with sudo passwd -d (generally recommended) [17:31] gdoteof: well if you sudo su then you will have a # prompt and no need to add password === emma is now known as emc44 [17:31] ZykoticK9: is there some codecs that i must manually install ? [17:31] sudo su [17:31] nice [17:31] sacarlson, "sudo su" is not a good idea - "sudo -i" is better [17:31] gdoteof, see above! [17:31] i see [17:31] ty [17:31] ok I'm back banished I had to change my name I'm downloading the livecd I only have the beta might as well get the new one [17:31] ZykoticK9: libmatroska or some ? [17:32] wilhart, you might need the vdpau PPA perhaps? === he_01 is now known as huseyin_001 [17:32] why is sudo -i better [17:32] ZykoticK9: what is the diff in -i and su? [17:32] ZykoticK9: should i disable/enable something in nvidia-settings, and do i need to have glx in xorg.conf ? [17:32] wilhart, it's not a codec issue [17:32] Barnished, I did as you suggested, the tv was displayed with blank screen, and system came with blank screen and keyboard and mouse got hung, i have to restart the system unplugging vga cable [17:33] is there some way i can track for how long the system has been booted? [17:33] sacarlson, sudo -i sets environment variables better (less likely to break system) [17:33] saganbyte: uptime [17:33] gdoteof, thanks :) [17:33] ZykoticK9: ok cool, I just tried it get the same # but not sure about env [17:33] ZykoticK9: what about glx in xorg.conf ? [17:33] wilhart, can you pastebin "mplayer -vo vdpau $FILENAME" [17:33] ZykoticK9: sure [17:34] sacarlson, "sudo su" is highly frowned upon here [17:34] why? === emc44 is now known as em [17:34] It is possible to rename the menu names on panel, like 'Applications', 'Places', 'System' in 'App', 'Sys"? [17:34] ZykoticK9: not by me, but I'm old school [17:34] <-- needs recommendations for a USB Wifi Card cuz my BCMXXX card/drivers b-b-b-bloooow [17:34] ZykoticK9: why is sudo -i better? [17:34] ZykoticK9: http://pastebin.ca/1919515 [17:35] banished: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/M9zdXp1M [17:35] wilhart, is the video playing? [17:35] gdoteof, environment is setup better (less likely to break system) [17:36] ZykoticK9: yea [17:36] I prefer a card with open source drivers from the manufacturer; I've heard anything with an atheros chip is good? [17:36] wilhart, so what's wrong then? [17:36] ZykoticK9: how are you less likely to break the system? [17:37] lake: correct [17:37] ZykoticK9: minor flicker once in a while, and i have 5.1 speakers that shows 2speakers [17:37] gdoteof, use "sudo su" if you want - but be warned... [17:37] you may be eaten by a grue [17:37] !rootshell | gdoteof [17:37] gdoteof: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [17:37] ZykoticK9: and it's 48000Hz it should be smaller [17:37] wilhart, that is an audio issue - sorry i can't assist with that? [17:37] ZykoticK9: ok. [17:38] ZykoticK9: minor flickering :( should i enable glx in xorg.conf ? [17:38] It is possible on Gnome to rename the menu names on panel, like 'Apps' for 'Applications and so on? [17:38] wilhart, flickering? does it flicker with "gl" instead of "vdpau"? [17:39] someone that knows when the spotify linux native client works with spotify free? [17:40] wilhart, you might want to try the "sync to vblank" in nvidia-settings and see if that helps??? [17:40] bannished: I'm burning the cd stand by [17:40] ZykoticK9: yea it's ON [17:41] wilhart, do you get the flickering using gl instead of vdpau? [17:41] ZykoticK9: havent tried gl yes is that same than xv? [17:42] wilhart, no gl or gl2 are different from xv [17:42] ZykoticK9: ok [17:43] mplayer -vo gl melite-coto-1080p-rpk.mkv ? [17:43] ZykoticK9: ^ [17:44] banished: I'm booting the cd right now what exactly is the command I issue? [17:44] wilhart, sure === Kaie is now known as Guest37228 [17:44] ZykoticK9: ok i'll try it if this doesnt flicker anymore i enabled vsync and glx [17:45] wilhart, if you are playing 1080p video your system might not be fast enough? [17:45] wilhart: have you been getting bad flickering in lucid? [17:45] ZykoticK9: i have 2.33ghz dualcore 64bit with nvidia 8800glx [17:46] wilhart, that's fast enough ;) [17:46] :D [17:46] Im having trouble gaining internet connection after a new install on an Acer laptop. Looking for a little help if someone has the time. [17:46] have to go for pizza now tnx for help ZykoticK9 [17:47] erUSUL: is that the best I could get? [17:47] ZykoticK9: I had to find out the diff of sudo -i and sudo su and you are correct there is a difference in them, but the only thing I see is the XDG_SESSION_COOKIE is set in sudo su and not in sudo -i. as see here compared to sudo -i sudo su and a standard user http://paste.ubuntu.com/480003/ [17:48] lake: intel and atheros both work in their drivers for linux [17:48] #egroupware [17:49] what about this http://cgi.ebay.com/Realtek-RTL8187B-802-11a-b-g-Mini-PCIe-Wireless-Card-/270590099957?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0#ht_790wt_911 [17:50] sacarlson, interesting... thanks man. [17:51] LintWad: for any hope of help with you intenet connection you will need to provide much more info like pastebin us the results of: ifconfig , iwconfig, route, the contents of /etc/resolv.conf , lsusb , lshw, lspci , that's all I can think of. with that someone should be able to help you. [17:52] and dmeswg output of what the system sees the device as, and lsmod as well so we can see what device modules are loaded [17:52] err dmesg even [17:52] Alright. Let's see what I can do. Have to switch between machines. [17:53] erUSUL: I've got a laptop -- you think I should replace the pci card or just get a usb stick? [17:53] ZykoticK9: I always want to know why. but I don't even know what XDG_SESSION_COOKIE is or what it does so I'll save that for later. [17:53] I'm not even really sure how to put a pci card in, so usb option is me being lazy/ignorant [17:53] sacarlson, nor i ;) [17:55] good my ubuntu livecd doesn't even work WTF [17:55] ZykoticK9, sacarlson: It's set by your login manager and used by ConsoleKit to determine which desktop session a given terminal belongs to [17:56] rww, thanks [17:56] sacarlson, pgpkeys http://pastebin.com/bmH5Wwyi [17:57] maybe s/terminal/process/. not sure. [17:57] i2c: cool I have had many people with problems with that device I didn't know it was a laptop thing. I thought it was a usb device. [17:57] I think its important to note this is my first attempt at an install. [17:57] lake: what wifi chip thoes the laptop come with ? [17:57] How to rename the menu names on Gnome panel, like 'Apps' for 'Applications and so on? [17:58] hello, what command do i run to switch my system python from 2.6 to 2.7, i believe its update-alternatives but i dont know the rest [17:58] North_Italian69: don't know if possible; there are other, smaller menu applets for gnome-panel though, look into those [17:58] antlong: 2.7 version is not aviable in lucid [17:59] i built it and installed it [17:59] i just need to switch [17:59] im on 10.4 [17:59] LintWad: well I don't see any wifi device in that list. is that what I'm looking for? [17:59] I'm not getting internet period. Not even hardlined. [17:59] But it would be great to get the wifi up. [18:00] LintWad: were is the more important info like ifconfig and iwconfig? [18:00] Hrms. I saved that output. Let me check. [18:00] antlong: well that could lead to something braking at system level. why not just make a PATH hack or alias for your user ? [18:00] LintWad: I put this list in the order of importance [18:00] And I ran it in the order you gave me. [18:00] seems it didn't save correctly. [18:01] erUSUL: I'm not sure -- It's a BCM4312 [18:01] LintWad: or I viewed it wrong? [18:01] Probably not. I opened the document I saved it in and it looks truncated. [18:01] Running again. [18:01] lake: althout you have to install the firmware those cards seems to work ok ... [18:02] guys... I'd like to make my ubuntu box (10.04) like a surveillance box... Using a webcam, what software can I use to a remote view? [18:02] erUSUL: it's working right now, yes [18:02] sacarlson http://pastebin.com/NjF15vyV [18:02] erUSUL: seems to drop a lot for me [18:03] if i stream a video, for instance, it cuts out [18:03] lake: tried installing the linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic package ? [18:03] is there a version of python_select for ubuntu [18:03] erUSUL: no, why should I do that [18:03] hello all [18:04] LintWad: well from the looks of it you have no wifi device but I still have no lsusb to verify that. do you have a wire connected like cat5 ethernet? if so you have no ip address there. [18:04] Yes. I am connected via wire. [18:04] lake: new version of the driver *may* be more stable [18:04] anybody know where i can find information on policykit? [18:04] I was getting wireless when running w7, so the device exists. [18:05] It's just not being recognized. [18:05] interesting -- so is that all I need to do? [18:05] does anyone know how i can change the owner of a .pdf file and then 'secure' it? i have acroreader installed but it doesn't have that option. [18:05] erUSUL: will it automatically require the right module, etc [18:06] lake: to try a newer version of the driver? yes. note the mephasis on *may*. there are no waranties of the newer driver being better [18:06] LintWad: well the ethernet has a wire but no address so we could try install wicd with apt-get install wicd to see if we can manualy set it or we can do it with term commands. [18:06] erUSUL ok [18:07] LintWad: this might be good to try at a command term dhclient eth0 [18:07] erUSUL: i'm going to hit youtube -- if it drops, I'll try the new driver. lol [18:07] lake: good luck. [18:07] Getting a lot of "permission denied" on that command. [18:07] LintWad: oh sorry forgot no connection so that's the only thing we can do is dhclient eth0 [18:08] Right. [18:08] "permission denied" [18:08] "can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases: permission denied" [18:08] LintWad: oh yes so it's sudo dhclient eth0 [18:08] hey can anyone recommend any good hosting services? anyone ever used linode? === oCean__ is now known as oCean_ [18:08] Ok. That loks like it's working [18:09] Well, doing something at least. [18:09] hosting is no Ubuntu issue, join #Ubuntu-offtopic for that, glick [18:09] LintWad: if that looks like it got something take a look at ifconfig again and see if we go an ip [18:09] Hey guys. How do I start getting a microphone and webcam to work on ubuntu 10.04? [18:09] erUSUL: yep, dropped. [18:09] I plugged the usb camera in and nothing happened. [18:09] It almost looks like it's in a loop. [18:10] lucenut: did you try the program cheese? [18:10] No. === yucheng is now known as yunf [18:10] lucenut, start with cheese as sacarlson suggests [18:10] ? [18:10] Will I find it in the software center? [18:10] lucenut: well that might make you camera take pics [18:10] it seems my alsa crashed, how do i restart it? [18:11] styx993: there is the policykit-1-doc package, although the most useful information there are probably just the html versions of the manpages you already have, polkit(8) and pklocalauthority(8) [18:11] which is the channel for maverick? [18:11] mauri, #ubuntu+1 [18:11] ZykoticK9: tnk [18:11] erUSUL: my kernel is 2.6.34 [18:11] the install pulled me back down to 2.6.32 [18:11] Hi there! [18:12] trism: okay, thank you. would you happen to know if i can allow a user to perform an action without entering a password? [18:12] Is there a way to use ipod touch 2g in banshee just as with rhythmbox? [18:12] styx993: you want to give a specific user a specific command they can run as admin without a password? === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | IRC Guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) is released! | Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 | Download: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu | Unanswered question? try http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [18:13] how do I upgrade to 10.04.1???

Update as normal. [18:13] maco, that's it? [18:13] zonkers1: yep. [18:13] maco: edit what file? [18:13] zonkers1: 10.04.1 is just a CD release with all the updates bundled [18:14] styx993: "sudo visudo" will open an editor to the /etc/sudoers file, but itll have checks in place to make sure you don't break it before you save [18:14] styx993: you'll want to put her username, the command she can do, and NOPASSWORD [18:14] maco: i want to edit the system policies, not give her access to sudo [18:14] Hi. I set a symbolic link in /var/www/ to point to a web application folder in my home directory. But the only way the web app works is if I chmod the directory to 777. This doesn't seem safe.

[18:14] i have no sound [18:14] it's not a console command, its the system update applet [18:15] it's something with polkit, i just don't know how to work it [18:15] zonkers1: http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com/questions/3/how-can-i-set-the-software-center-to-install-software-for-non-root-users has an explanation [18:15] most of my home folders (Docs, Downloads, Music, etc,) are missing from 'Places' (top panel) - how do I restore them?

[18:15] and maco, thank you for providing the right answer [18:15] ZykoticK9: i saw it on there a couple days ago :P [18:15] styx993, I LOVE ubuntu....it's the best... [18:16] :) i've appreciated it lately too [18:16] Does chrome work on ubuntu? [18:16] Is there a way to use ipod touch 2g in banshee just as with rhythmbox? It works with rhythmbox, but I can't get it working with banshee... Any clue? where could I have a look? I am using banshee 1.7.4 [18:16] lucenut: yes [18:17] lucenut: yep [18:18] How? I googled and it doesn't seem straightforward. [18:18] lucenut, chromium-browser is in default 10.04 repo (open source version of chrome) [18:18] One place has a link to an old .deb version. [18:18] i have 10.04.1 wooo hooo [18:19] will i notice anything different if I install the newer version of freetype? [18:19] Ah Chromium [18:19] !info chromium-browser | lucenut [18:19] lucenut: chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser. In component universe, is optional.

[18:24] is skype on a PPA now ? [18:25] lucenut: updates are around 9PM EST daily.

I still haven't gotten ubuntu to realize I have a webcam and mic plugged in. [18:28] bihari: /join #backtrack-linux [18:28] lucenut: maybe its a bug? [18:28] IdleOne, thanks [18:29] zezu, just enable partner repositories in system/administration/synaptic/settings/repositories/other software [18:29] zezu and then reload [18:30] Would a guy have to do anything when you plug a mic in on ubuntu? [18:30] The webcam is usb so shouldn't ubuntu make a noise or throw up an alert or something? [18:30] zezu and give a moment for quick search to catch up with updates, since it falls behind reload a bit [18:30] hay all, I just a replacement hdd in the mail, I am going to use dd to copy everything from my old hdd to the new one. Will dd also copy the mbr/grub ? also what should be the dd command I should issue?

[18:31] shadowhywind_, dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb will copy all, including mbr, grub and whatever is on the drive === henkpoley_ is now known as henkpoley [18:32] now [18:32] Is there a "Device Manager" of some sort like in windows? [18:32] hi there. i'm looking for recommendations for a very low-cost, low-power and quiet home server running ubuntu. it's mostly going to be a backup, file and media server, maybe a low volume tor node. ~$100 barebones Atom boxes by foxconn look tempting on price, anyone used one? you can see them here http://bit.ly/zVA6y [18:32] rooks: would I have to include the bs flag or conv=notrunc or anything like that [18:32] hey, i downloaded the dina.ttf font but am having trouble using it.i use the command line alot, so i have no graphical file browser(slow internet, so i stick to small apps).so, how do i install the font? [18:32] shadowhywind_, tho better reinstall grub since grub operates on uuid's which can change due to different hdd serial nr [18:32] lucenut, you might want to try/install gnome-device-manager [18:33] Hi all, is it possible to connect two laptops kept side by side using wireless adapter/ [18:33] rooks: k, I will first use dd to copy everything over, and see if grub is screwed up and then reinstall/fix if needed [18:33] !ot | b1ank [18:33] is pulse no more available? [18:33] b1ank: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:34] shadowhywind_, give bs 4 megabytes, dont do any conv voodo, it might corrupt fresh install [18:34] sorry [18:34] Heya, I wanted to take a look at the default bluetooth application sourcecode but I can't figure how, any help? [18:34] hey, i've got a problem with samba server, i installed on my 10.4 box samba and smbfs and configured samba according to tutorial and it's not accessible from windows [18:34] rooks: what does bs do in the first place? [18:35] felicity: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts#Manually [18:35] shadowhywind_, it determines how much data dd reads and writes at one go, so it will read 4mb of data and then it will write it, 4mb should be ok, since cache on hdd's is about 8mb these days === Don is now known as Guest31764 [18:35] felicity: (it uses nautilus, but just copying in the terminal with cp would work just as well) [18:36] anyone here know how I can make the F1-12 keys function as ESC[n~ (from putty) in Konsole? [18:36] rooks: so would be dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4mb or would it be bs=4120 (ish) [18:36] shadowhywind_, maybe dd operates differently when it deals with two seperate devices, but i guess it only passes read/write requests to kernel, so kernel will handle all the caching and such [18:37] rooks: otherwise, bs is what 512 bytes? [18:37] shadowhywind_, no idea on proper bs= synaptic, its in the man dd how to spell megabytes properly for it [18:37] i have problems with startup, ubuntu shows a blackscreen, i have to restart the pc and hope it actually starts up, i disabled splash to see that was going on and it stops in memory check or something... any ideas? [18:37] i think so, something like that [18:38] looking for help to load on system with internal RAID0 [18:38] rooks: ah, in that case I think i might just skip bs, since the other harddrive is dying, don't want to task it to much [18:38] !fakeraid | Guest31764 [18:38] Guest31764: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [18:38] shadowhywind_, youre booting from live cd btw, not from hdd youre copying, right? [18:38] rooks: that is true, live cd [18:38] not that stupid , hehe [18:39] shadowhywind_, well, its tasking it one way or another, having proper bs will help to smooth out the whole experience [18:39] like faster transfer times [18:40] hey, i have installed Windows XP SP3 and Ubuntu 10.04 on the same partition C:\ .. how could i delete windows and stay with ubuntu? [18:40] rooks: oh, so your still thinking go with 4 mb? [18:40] In the software center, it looks like Skype is already installed. There's no "Install" button. [18:40] Where would I find it? [18:41] shadowhywind_, yup, i would go with bs=4M if i was about to do that copying, given the hdd's are the same size [18:41] skype.com or w/e [18:41] evenin' all [18:41] Is it pre-installed? [18:41] hi all - quick newb question - when i do dpkg -l | grep php, I'm getting an "li" or "rc" before the package name [18:41] what is this for? [18:41] shadowhywind_, it would make controllers happy i think :) [18:41] lucenut, "perhaps" you need to add the Partner repo? [18:41] caseyc: flags the indicate what is the package state in dpkg DB [18:42] what does rc mean? [18:42] hey, i have installed Windows XP SP3 and Ubuntu 10.04 on the same partition C:\ .. how could i delete windows and stay with ubuntu? [18:42] caseyc: the first 3 lines of output explain that [18:42] lucenut, enable partner repositories in system/administration/synaptic/settings/repositories/other software [18:42] Heya, I wanted to take a look at the default bluetooth application sourcecode but I can't figure how, any help? [18:42] rooks: then one last thing, just to make sure im doing this right, since it seams very wrong, bs is in bytes, to do 4 mb.. i would have to do bs=4194304 ?? that just seams a bit wrong [18:42] you cant [18:43] how can i install ubuntu without internet ? i cant step over choose-mirror [18:43] caseyc: first column corresponds to first line's guide, so r means its been marked as desired for removal (you hit remove at some point) [18:43] shadowhywind_, man says when you do "bs=4M" it will understand this as bs=4*1024*1024 [18:44] oh lol i think i missed that part [18:44] caseyc: second column to second line, which says its for the actual current status. yours is c, so thats conf-files... the executables are gone but configuration files remain so you dont need to reconfigure if you ever reinstall it [18:44] Can someone help me with the installation of my drivers? I tried "tar zxvf AR81Family-Linux-v1.0.1.9.tar.gz" and i get this error "gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored [18:44] src/atl1e.h [18:44] tar: Child returned status 2 [18:44] tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors [18:44] " [18:44] manuel_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:44] shadowhywind_, its below all the parameters :P [18:44] rooks: or at least thats what I get for using a website.. [18:44] How do I get a .deb file for a package in the Ubuntu repository? Specifically, I'd like to download a .deb file for gnucash 2.2. Thanks! [18:44] anybody help me? [18:45] jfcarroll: packages.ubuntu.com lets you download any packages in the official repos [18:45] U8untu, do you mean you used Wubi and installed Ubuntu inside Windows? [18:45] rooks: thanks again for all the help [18:45] maco - thanks, i appreciate it. so its not installed? or is it? if i try to remove it, it says its not installed [18:45] yes ZykoticK9 [18:45] hello everyone I'm having trouble with my wireless card, it worked earlier today but now will not work, seems like it just cut out of nowhere (no I haven't messed with drivers or anything) is there any way to debug it from within ubuntu? [18:45] caseyc: its not installed but config files remain in case you reinstall some day [18:45] shadowhywind_, youre welcome:) http://planet.admon.org/howto/basic-understanding-of-the-dd-command/ btw :) [18:45] U8untu, installed two OS on the same partition? Sure about that? [18:45] Oh comon why others answers are being answered before :S [18:45] yes woble [18:45] caseyc: if you want to get rid of config files too, apt-get purge will do that [18:46] I'll ask for support somewhere >.< [18:46] U8untu, i doubt it's possible really - but I wouldn't know. I've seen reference to a migrating Wubi to physical install, but it's probably MUCH easier to just fresh install. Best of luck. [18:46] U8untu, ah wubi, well, if you'd like to stick to ubuntu i would do a complete fresh install with a separate home partition [18:46] shadowhywind_, when dd is running you can do from other terminal killall dd -USR1 so it will print nice statisctics on how its doing :) [18:46] maco: when i try to install it, it says "php5-mcrypt: Depends: phpapi-20090626" [18:47] most of my home folders (Docs, Downloads, Music, etc,) are missing from 'Places' (top panel) - how do I restore them? [18:47] maco: you know a solution to that? [18:47] woble my windows is fully virused..if i reinstall another windows..same virus appears.. so.. i want to get rid of it [18:47] caseyc: is there more to it? like a complaint that phpapi isnt avilable? [18:47] rooks: repeate that one more time, wouldn't killall dd actraully kill the copy [18:47] and i dont have and dont know how to make a ubuntu bootable disk woble [18:47] U8unti, just download the iso, and burn :) [18:48] Hey there, my trackpad only works on the login screen. But once I've logged in it loses all functionality. any suggestions? [18:48] U8untu: just boot up from CD/USB and format your c: partition while installing ubuntu - that take care of your worries [18:48] shadowhywind_, no, killall -USR1 dd will only send USR1 signal to dd, which will cause it to display statisctics on how its going, its all in the manual :) man dd :P [18:48] woble and how is that? how to burn? lol? i am newbie :D [18:48] maco: says some packages could not be installed - the following information may help resolve the situation: the following packages have unmet dependencies [18:48] !pastebin | caseyc [18:48] caseyc: 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. [18:48] maco: E: broken packages [18:48] ok [18:48] U8untu, do you know how to burn cd's? [18:48] rooks: hehe, i will have to issue that command, since its a 640 gb drive [18:49] woble copy/paste .. thats how i do cd`s :D [18:49] I installed Ubuntu as my workstation. I moved our Windows XP as a second PC. Then I use TSClient to connect to the Windows XP from Linux. I toggle the full screen with CTRL-ALT-ENTER and switch between the 2 boxes. Then I have an ESXI with 20 OS's on it. It is a nice setup. I do this because not everyone can use Linux, and they can use TSClient to access their Windows XP. [18:49] dorbin: check what ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs says [18:49] U8untu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [18:49] Hi. Help needed with video files, using Ubuntu 10.04. Can't seem to get any picture just the sound. Youtube videos play but blank out on full screen. Where should I start? I've followed many tutorials but failed.

[18:50] Can anyone help me with my laptop trackpad? It doesn't work after login.

[19:35] prefrontal: well that's the problem :S [19:35] Hi I am new to Ubuntu, I want to know how to connect to the Internet after installing Ubuntu [19:35] OpenSourceCode: I would start with the cpu frequency applet [19:35] I have a router [19:35] Varuna_Senevirat: clic in the network icon, select your network, enter your password [19:35] trying to install chip:rt2800 802.11n pci. wireless signals are visible, but unable to connect [19:36] can any body help? [19:36] ChogyDan, http://pastebin.com/4pKJtvQE [19:36] where is the network icon? [19:36] chogydan, where? [19:36] ChogyDan: the cpu frequency applet? the one that changes the cpu frequency on the fly? I would think that that would not affect it... [19:36] OpenSourceCode: Who manufactured your video card? [19:37] nvidia [19:37] is btrfs useable in ubuntu server? [19:37] ChogyDan: it should change the cpu frequency fast enough that it wouldn't affect anything except power consumption [19:37] MeSko === AkuZ` is now known as MeSKo === teddy_ is now known as teddymills [19:37] david_: i don't think btrfs is usable still [19:37] OpenSourceCode: may want to try installing the newest drivers from the nvidia website newest non-beta drivers are 256.35. [19:37] when I watch in normal mode... it's normal [19:38] OpenSourceCode: you gotta right click your panel, and add to panel, add cpu frequency monitor. it does, flash doesn't maintain a high cpu usage, so you get stuttering [19:38] but...they're not open source? [19:38] ChogyDan: ah, I didn't know about that bug [19:38] xangua: but I read that btrfs is going to be the default fs in ubuntu 10.10 [19:38] Hello Folks ! Need some help [19:38] xangua: what do u mean by network icon [19:38] david_: unless it was in mark's blog or something i don't think so [19:38] OpenSourceCode: you'll be looking for CPU Frequency Monitor [19:39] install nvidea drivers via system/admin/hardware drivers [19:39] david_, no btrfs will be an option [19:39] Varuna_Senevirat: the one little network icon in your upper corner [19:39] tstaerk: what are those packages? [19:39] no idea they are from my hoster. [19:39] xangua: no, it for example is written in http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-10-10-Alpha-2-Gets-Linux-Kernel-2-6-35-and-Btrfs-145922.shtml [19:39] anybody here ever experienced problems with an ATI card on a laptop??? [19:39] Nikie: Then I suggest you tell us what you need help with... [19:39] what's the application similar to that of a winzip in ubuntu ? [19:39] and what is the network that I should select [19:39] with the VGA output... [19:39] ChogyDan, they establish a connection to mysql somehow, but I do not want this. [19:39] trying to install chip:rt2800 802.11n pci. wireless signals are visible, but unable to connect. anyone? [19:40] david_: Its not default. And 10.10 discussion belongs in #ubuntu+1 [19:40] Nikie: archive amanger [19:40] BlueEagle - Is Archive Manager [19:40] tstaerk: where did you get psa-imp? [19:40] manager* [19:40] DrPoO: yeah, lots. It's a tough deal to get drivers installed for it. What video chipset do you have on your laptop? [19:40] oh! alright :D Thank you ! [19:40] nikie: ubuntu (and windows) have archiving/zipping built in [19:40] But Maverick Meerkat is quite near and I am just rebuilding my server and I want a good file system. Pici good to know, Ill switch over ;) [19:40] ChogyDan, it was installed when I got the server from my hoster. [19:40] so, we can zip the files with Archive Manager and unzip as well ? [19:40] Nikie: just double click the zip file and it should work [19:41] tstaerk: are you running Ubuntu? [19:41] trying to install chip:rt2800 802.11n pci. wireless signals are visible, but unable to connect. anyone? [19:41] ChogyDan, yes [19:41] root@lvps83-169-3-117:~# lsb_release -d [19:41] Description: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS [19:41] xangua:network icon in your upper corner, is it the right upper corner [19:41] appamajig, I have an X1300 Mobility Radeon [19:41] Nikie: or right click file/s and choose compress === Guest37228 is now known as Kaie` [19:42] appamajig, had problems with the vga output... but fixed that by updating the kernel... [19:42] rar and tar .. .and unzip ... are all available too... but if all you need is simple compression, use archive manager [19:42] appamajig, and now my window decorations are desapearing [19:42] :p [19:42] oh [19:42] Nikie: The .zip fileformat is not so popular in Linux as it is in Windows. Linux users tend to favour other compression algorithms like bz2 and 7z. [19:42] Xangua: what is the network that I should select? [19:43] DrPoO: you mean the outline and top bar of the windows? [19:43] Varuna_Senevirat: aah....your network¿ === me_ is now known as bugaloo [19:43] Varuna_Senevirat: the network of your router [19:43] appamajig, yup [19:43] one of the main reasons I like ubuntu is that the unrar program/command is free and easy to install and use. [19:43] appamajig, and strange things happen when i enable composting [19:43] DrPoO: I don't really get it [19:43] many torrents come rar'ed and it's nice to have a simple program to unrar them with [19:44] What's the importance of it ? I mean how is it better over .zip ? If you wouldn't mind ? :) [19:44] people... does anyone know a good program to transmit an audio streaming with ubuntu 10.04? I want to listen remotly what is going on my remote laptop [19:44] DrPoO: what driver are you using? fglrx? or the ATI-provided drivers? [19:44] fglrx [19:44] tstaerk: well, it looks like psa-imp is failing to remove, but I've no idea what that is. You can force it to remove by deleting /var/lib/dpkg/info/psa-imp.postrm and then running apt-get remove psa-imp [19:44] I'm quit new to LInux/ubuntu. Appreciate your time ! [19:44] ChogyDan, that sounds like a solution! [19:44] woops its the ATI drivers [19:45] Italian_Plumber: combine it with atool :). "aunpack" will unpack/uncompress pretty much everything with the one command, no flags [19:45] DrPoO: and what do you mean by 'strange things' with composite? (I'm assuming with compiz?)

I run ubuntu with no GUI [19:45] itś a wine problem, kyle_ [19:45] Italian_Plumber: yep [19:46] DrPoO: hmmm, might wanna try updating to the newest drivers from the ATI website. It can be an ordeal to get installed. I'll find the link [19:46] *rubs hands together like mad scientist* [19:46] not wine, is a linux install [19:46] Italian_Plumber: no gui, why not debian them? [19:46] Nikie: zip by itself does not hold permissions and other attributes common for unix. To go around this problem, create .tar archive first, and zip the file. As to zip, there are better results with other compression methods. [19:47] appamajig, I can reproduce the dissapearence of the window decorations by simply changing the graphic settings on gnome from none to normal. [19:47] erUSUL: got it working .. changed video/audo to pulse server now eq works [19:47] wow... the new .1 release of lucing is taking FOREVER to install on my virtual machine... maybe I should have given it more than 256 MB of RAM.

[19:50] grubrecue, or here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 [19:50] ChogyDan, rpm has something called nopreun [19:50] for no pre uninstall [19:50] people I have problem with my USB flash drive.

I don't know if dpkg has those, I'll have to check [19:51] Italian_Plumber: ubuntu is essentially debian + gui + other user friendly tools [19:51] DrPoO: you said that you fixed a problem with the VGA output, right? does that mean that it would work on the laptop screen, but not to an external monitor? might want to take a look at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [19:51] rockhopper: Probably, but you will have to express your problem first. [19:51] ChogyDan, I have looked for them some hours. [19:51] Italian_Plumber: so if u wanna ditch the gui, use debain lol [19:51] Ober7: I acutally run ubuntu server [19:52] coz_: i have a problem that my dvd drive is broken so i cant put my windows disc in to boot from!

[19:57] is there a program similar to Hamchi for ubuntu [19:57] DrPoO: ah, yeah, that's not the one I was thinking of. I ran into problems getting ATI drivers installed on my laptop as well. I found a great link that explained everything. One moment I'm still looking for it [19:57] DrPoO: I had to use those instructions to get decentish opengl working [19:57] DrPoO: looking closer, that's definitely not what I used [19:57] pgpkeys: Hmm, the documentation I found is describing how to install postgres on 10.0.4, but it seems to come preinstalled and running. [19:58] grubrecue: Not really. It's not really up to grub, but Microsoft Windows design itself. Microsoft channel will have to help you with alternative means of installation. === Ginbun2_ is now known as ginbuntu [19:58] whoah, crazy proxy stuff [19:58] bhauff ~ you just need to dig through the docs [19:58] anyways, anybody knows how do I avoid the dialog "run in terminal - display - etc" when I double-click a +x file on my desktop ?

[20:01] kyle_: The File Manager does not show previews for remote locations by default. You can change that behaviour in the preferences [20:02] Varuna_Senevirat: Are we talking about wireless or a cable connection to the router? [20:02] I love ubuntu but not all my games work so I decided to try and dual boot with win7. But not a single copy of windows I have in my possession will work, they all say the HDD is missing. But yet ubuntu works fine. Am I missing something here? [20:03] LibertyZero:cabel connection to the router [20:03] Hi! [20:03] I'm using ubuntu server edition, how do can I make editing in the cmd line easier? Such as using arrow keys, copy/paste, last command, etc. I don't have these abilities [20:03] Hello [20:03] minimec: I did, but it shows the dialog :/ [20:03] @bonks to paste you have to do ctrl+shift+v [20:04] In my nautilus there are no text next or below icons in any other view than List view :/ [20:04] Same on desktop [20:04] Any idea what I could have misconfigured? [20:04] trikkex ~ make sure that windows is installed first and on the first partition [20:04] bonks, you can't press up arrow for previous commands? [20:04] itsux2bu: I cannot. I'm also running it within vmware player [20:04] windows does NOT like being put elsewhere. also make sure that your particular IDE controller is supported by windows. most are but you might have an offboard SATA it doesn't have a driver for or something [20:05] DrPoO: I have to run, I wish you luck! [20:05] DARKGuy: Is that a start script or or a prism WebPage Starter or something kike that? [20:06] @pgpkeys I tried to install windows before and after linux. I had windows installed and got a nasty virus (surprise surprise) and wiped out everything, but I accidently deleted all the partitions, so I'm guessing I killed the SATA drivers as well. How the F do I reinstall SATA drivers? [20:06] there is something strange in my windows, the X button to close, the _ button to minimize and the square button to maximize are in the left side od the window, how to change it to the right side? maybe with configuration editor Gconf?

[20:09] So anyways... Is it possible to install SATA drivers with only ubuntu installed? I know its possible to install windows after Ubuntu with a little Grub tweaking [20:09] LibertyZero:No the router does not establish Internet connection by it self,D you have an IP address? the IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1 [20:09] Trikkex, try /join ##windows, afaik you need not an OS installed.

[20:16] itsux2bu ~ you need to port forward fromt he router to the virt's IP [20:16] itsux2bu: use port-forwarding [20:16] anyone here good at filesystem recovery? [20:16] i would also make sure you apply the windows firewalling to the vm interface for additional security (as an aside) [20:16] BEAST: I don't knw what u mean by second DNS block? [20:17] and port-forwarding isn't part of this "channel's" topic [20:17] any wimax guru here [20:17] itsux2bu ~ i say that because I'm under the impression you are running ubuntu in a vm with windows as the host [20:17] <_BEAST> Varuna_Senevira: NVD all g00d [20:17] yeah thats your router's docs or its own channel [20:17] hello together is there a easyly remote tool like vnc sc for linux available?> [20:17] itsux2bu: If you have a local ip from the router for your virtual machine (bridge!) you should be able to configure the router to pass all incoming stuff to the IP of the virtual server. [20:17] <_BEAST> Varuna_Senevira: I suggest you use 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 :) [20:17] LibertyZero: My DHCP is disabled so I hve put all the settings manually [20:18] Hello. When I try and ping http://www.google.com unknown host but when I ping google.com I get replies. [20:18] itsux2bu: I answered 5 minutes ago already [20:18] How can I switch functionality of scroll wheels on a two wheel mouse? [20:18] My filenames aren't visible in nautilus. Where do I configure this? Tried googling to no avail. [20:18] cn1109 check your /etc/resolv.conf [20:18] The problem is I don't know where to put them in Ubuntu [20:18] Varuna_Senevirat: Then right click on the network icon, select Edit Connections... [20:18] cn1109: "ping http://www.google.com" won't work because ping takes a hostname as an argument, not a URL. try "ping www.google.com" [20:19] sry guntbert, i missed it [20:19] LibertyZero: Ok Ok thanks [20:20] rww: That works. The only problem is I'm running apt-get update and it tries to connect to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com [20:20] Hello guys! I have a question about 720p playback on a Lenovo Thinkpad X60 tablett PC, Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU L2400 @ 1.66GHz, is there any chance that would work? [20:20] clerical: possibly fine [20:20] cn1109 ~ probably listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list file [20:20] cn1109: I assume "tries" means it failed? [20:20] does apt or dpkg have a capability to list the attribute changes (e.g., permissions, ownership, modification date, etc.) for files installed as part of a package? [20:21] rww: Correct. [20:21] or if archive.ubuntu.com is the only thing listed the servers could be configured to check where you are coming from and kick you to that country's server [20:21] #wicket [20:21] ikonia: sweet, do you have any tips or tricks? i've installed / compiled mplayer with coreavc, but mplayer just hangs [20:21] pgpkeys: it's set at installation using the country you chose during installation, actually [20:21] My filenames aren't visible in nautilus. Where do I configure this? Tried googling to no avail. [20:21] clerical: don't compile software, that's a good tip [20:21] cn1109: does "ping us.archive.ubuntu.com" work? [20:22] rww ahh thanks for the clarification [20:22] ikonia: oks? then point me in the right direction please :) [20:22] clerical: as long as the video is encoded with a sensible codec, and with reasonable settings, it should be fine, if not you either have to change encoding or get a better laptop [20:23] hey, I'm trying to install a LAMP server on my ubuntu desktop machine, I installed phpmyadmin, and apt-get says it is installed, but http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ does not exist === _NG is now known as _ng [20:23] Ive removed kdm from autostart with sudo update-rc.d -f kdm disable, this was maybe not so smart in ubuntu as I now have no sound and the bootsplash never ends, I can get past it by logging in to a tty and starting x manually, but the sound is still not there, alsa reload etc doesnt help, any clues? [20:23] ikonia: well, yes, but that doenst help me much cause all my videos will be jerky.. when played with eg. vlc and such [20:23] rww: It does. [20:23] ikonia: plays fine on windows 7 [20:24] rww: Should I change the source list and remove http? [20:24] cn1109: no, the http's supposed to be there [20:24] rww: okay [20:24] cn1109: try "sudo apt-get update", if it has errors again, copy the entire output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link the page it creates here [20:24] i read somewhere that there was an issue with intels graphics chipset and hd-playback, anyone know something about that? [20:25] excuse me, can anybody give me some help with "upstart"? [20:25] clerical: then it's probably a codec issue, find out what they where encoded with [20:25] cn1109: That might help too... [20:25] cn1109: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [20:26] Hello, when i use CTRL+ALT+F1 to open the tty¨s the only thing i see, is a blinking line :( [20:26] guys [20:27] vindu: try alt+left or alt+right to cycle through the allocated ttys. If none is there, check /etc/init/. ttys are defined there [20:28] muellisoft: they are there, but it seems that nothing will happen on them, only the blinking line :( [20:28] rww: Getting 404 errors on request. Still need the generated error? [20:28] vindu: check i.e. /etc/init/tty1 whether a "getty" is actually spawned there [20:29] excuse me, can anybody give me some help with "upstart"? [20:29] ikonia: they are encoded with avc1 [20:30] cn1109: no. 404 errors just mean that the mirror didn't sync fully. The major ones (like the one that serve us.archive.ubuntu.com) sync pretty often, so it'll probably have fixed itself by tomorrow. [20:30] clerical: never used that on linux, just having a look at it's support now [20:30] I need help, i am currently running ubuntu and i want to switch to windows 7, but i dont have a usb/dvd big enough to hold the. iso file. how can i install windows 7 without one? [20:30] hello, anybody hear me? [20:30] Greg-O: ask in ##windows [20:30] !ask | hoodoos_ [20:30] hoodoos_: 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. :-) [20:30] nope. none of us can hear you [20:31] but im running ubuntu [20:31] cn1109: if you need to use it before then, you can change to a different mirror. Do you want instructions for doing tha [20:31] t? [20:31] <_BEAST> vindu: try F1 with F7 [20:31] Greg-O: but you want to install windows [20:31] ikonia: but that' [20:31] Greg-O: ask the ##windows guys for help [20:31] clerical: pardon ? [20:31] ikonia: but that's kind of what the most videos are encoded with? [20:31] they would know what to do if was running windows, but im not [20:31] _BEAST: all tty shows only a blinking line [20:31] !ask [20:31] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:31] rww: That would be great if you don't mind. THanks [20:32] clerical: mine aren't, I use h264, xvid [20:32] Greg-O: you insert the install dvd in the drive and reboot [20:32] cn1109: or, hrm, actually, I forgot something. Which Ubuntu version are you using? [20:32] Greg-O: you can't install windows from within ubuntu [20:32] Greg-O: they will need to guide your on other windows install methods [20:32] is there some sort of trick to getting thegnome main menu editor to work right? i added a folder but i cant put anything in it [20:32] ugh, ok [20:32] hoodoos ~ basically.. [20:32] 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. [20:32] rww: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [20:32] ikonia: it's h264. [20:32] cn1109: oh, good. The other reason it might happen is if you were on an old Ubuntu version, but 10.04.1 is fine. [20:33] clerical: ok, so that's a good but cpu hungry codec, monitor your cpu while playing, that's a good start [20:33] rww: :) That's good [20:33] cn1109: Are you using the command-line, GNOME, KDE, something else? [20:33] rww: ssh terminal and on the console as well [20:33] Greg-O: You are asking us the following. He yI want to intall an illegal version of Windows and I have no install medium. What should I do? Do you really think we can give you some hints ;) [20:33] clerical: also pay attention to your video card config, poor performing video card drives/config can cause choppy video too [20:33] <_BEAST> vindu: I dont copy ? Blinking where ? [20:33] guys, I got a problem with redirecting output running my upstart script, if I run something that will fail for sure, nothing is being written in logs, but standart output is being redirected. I use following line to run my script: "exec sudo -u www-data /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/mcore/core.js 2>&1 >> /var/log/mcore.log" core.js should generate error, but log is empty :( [20:34] ikonia: yes, that was why I was wondering about the intel chipset and the latest ubuntu, lucid, release [20:34] _beast ~ mine does it too. on bootup, the first vt just shows a blinking cursor in the upper left. aftger awhile it will present you with a login [20:34] but usually takes quite some time. [20:34] only the first one does it on mine, not all of them [20:35] clerical: ok, so to give you a clue, I'm currently on a dell laptop, with a core2 duo, and the intel driver is in use, 9 times out of 10 I can play 720p video or just under over a wirless network without any choppy effects, on rare occasions the audio pops [20:35] <_BEAST> pgpkeys: Does it say press F1 to continue ? [20:35] Ive removed kdm from autostart with sudo update-rc.d -f kdm disable, this was maybe not so smart in ubuntu as I now have no sound and the bootsplash never ends, I can get past it by logging in to a tty and starting x manually, but the sound is still not there, alsa reload etc doesnt help, any clues? easies might be to add kdm back to the automatic upstart, but how? [20:35] clerical: I have zero issue playing xvid4 and h264 locally [20:35] i also checked usual redirection and it works fine [20:35] no [20:35] <_BEAST> pgpkeys: Then its not the bios [20:35] _beast ~ nope. just the blinking cursor [20:35] <_BEAST> pgpkeys: Hmm [20:35] clerical: just to give you an idea of what I'm seeing with a similar config/setup [20:36] _beast ~ yeah I doubt its the BIOS, but not a problem worth looking into for me since my other VTs work [20:36] i guess HIS are ALL not working though so he'll need to dig [20:36] Can I add one interface twice to /etc/network/interfaces? I mean one for inet and one for inet6 [20:36] cn1109: Automatic way: run sudo sed -i "s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu.osuosl.org/" /etc/apt/sources.list Manual way: run "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list", change "us.archive.ubuntu.com" to "ubuntu.osuosl.org" (leaving the rest of the line intact), save, run sudo apt-get update again. [20:36] ikonia: alright mate! how do I find out what driver that's in use for my intel graphics? [20:36] dxtr: no [20:36] maybe I should try another channel with my upstart specific problem? [20:36] cn1109: (ubuntu.osuosl.org is a mirror in Oregon. It's the one I use, and appears to be working fine.) [20:36] ikonia: So.. What's the solution? :P [20:36] <_BEAST> pgpkeys: LOL @ dig I m am having VT isssues as well I think it is a 64 bit issue [20:36] clerical: well, as X auto dectects it will eithe rbe i810 or intel (I have much better performance with intel over i810) [20:37] hoodoos ~ well first off you can quit messaging people privately for help. [20:37] clerical: look in your xorg logs, OR try forcing the intel driver by building an xorg.conf [20:37] *I* specifically run a whitelist of allowed nicks that can msg me, otherwise i don't see it [20:37] rww: Thank you. Trying it right now [20:37] ikonia: coolio, i'll check it, thanks mate [20:38] pgpkeys: i'm just new here, i'm not even sure somebody hear me :) [20:38] <_BEAST> pgpkeys: oR you could just use a blacklist [20:38] hoodoos ~ its rude to msg without asking. and people have the right to NOT assist you know. now ask the question with as much meat as you can IN THE CHANNEL and see what happens [20:38] rww: That worked. Wow that took an hour of my time. [20:38] hoodoos: you've been told multiple times people can hear you [20:38] it can take a bit for folks to respond as they might research the question, or they might need time to type out asking for more info [20:38] i'm sorry.. [20:38] rww: Is there a site with a list of mirrors? [20:38] _beast ~ hehe it IS a blacklist. aka, everyone is on the blacklist until i allow them :) [20:39] i bought a new router and i had to clone my PC's MAC address to get the WAN working. the only MAC address i registered with my ISP is my Cable Modem so why does it need my PC's MAC? doesn't make sense to me, just wondering. [20:39] ikonia: i asked ##windows, they scorned me and told me to ask #ubuntu [20:39] sanduz2: ask your router vendor/isp [20:39] hi [20:39] i not booting ubuntu 10.04 without monitor, someone can help ? [20:39] they are chinese so they barely understandable [20:40] <_BEAST> pgpkeys: Unless they get a lumber list [20:40] i need some help with a driver installation [20:40] Greg-O: you need to explain you want to install windows outside of ubuntu [20:40] lumber list? [20:40] anyone uses a Dock in here? Preferly Gnome-Do A/O Docky. Private message please. [20:40] I connected usb ethernet to my ubuntu installed pc [20:40] <_BEAST> pgpkeys: wrong channel [20:40] <_BEAST> pgpkeys: srry [20:40] but i dont want to, i want to replace ubuntu with windows 7 [20:40] ahh [20:40] Greg-O: ok - tell them that [20:40] When's the new Ubuntu going to be released? What's its state? And where can I read more? [20:40] !10.10 | Zta [20:40] cn1109: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors . The part that you'd put into sources.list is linked to the right of the first column. e.g., for the top mirror, you'd change http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ to http://ubuntu.innova-red.net/ubuntu/ [20:40] Zta: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:41] so, the question is: i'm running some nodejs script and I want to see something in log if it crashes, to demonize it i use upstart. so the question is how to write a run script so it will output STDERR to me, this one is not working: "exec sudo -u www-data /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/mcore/core.js 2>&1 >> /var/log/mcore.log" i get standart output but no STDERR, what to do? [20:41] i not booting ubuntu 10.04 without monitor, someone can help ? [20:41] i did, and they scorned me and told me to ask here [20:41] rww: Thank you! You have a been a great help. [20:41] Greg-O: they didnt, I'm in the channel, ask again and explain you want to replace ubuntu with windows [20:41] when i did lsusb, its showed as globespan Inc, LAN modem..

[20:42] yeah most ricky tick [20:42] Pici: any time [20:43] I'm having problems with ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 1830T [20:43] hoodoos: if I read correctly your primary problem is redirection of stderr, no matter if it is an upstart script or not - you might be lucky if you ask in #bash [20:43] when I first installed it (10.4), I could enable wireless with the network manager, but now the menu item is gone [20:44] (after updating) [20:44] hoodoos: ... >>/var/log/foo 2>&1 [20:44] Darkas: that normally happens when you've knocked the kill switch (I do it all the time) [20:44] someone please drop Lukasz Tarkowski account I forgot my password and can't remember the email [20:44] can someone help me please? [20:44] Lukasz1: ask in #freenode [20:44] prince_jammys: let me try :) [20:44] The nickserv one [20:44] Ok thanks [20:44] Lukasz1: ask in #freenode [20:44] ikona: the kill switch?

LOoks like there is a site about your machine. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Aspire1830T [20:45] I need help about the driver installation [20:45] can someone help me? [20:45] Does anyone know how to get Intel HDA 5 audio working in Ubuntu? :/ [20:45] I have a usb phone that isn't working, its detected in lsusb, and its detected by pulse, but In sound prefs. no matter of the config. i'm not getting any input from it [20:45] hoodoos: you were saying 'send everything going to FD 2 to the same place as FD 1' _before_ sending FD1 to you log file. [20:45] minimec, I've seen this one, but it didn't help [20:45] rockhopper: what does iwconfig say for wlan0? [20:46] my cable network is working, but I can't enable wifi anymore [20:46] Darkas: check the kill switch [20:46] Darkas: What do you mean with 'menu item'? Where? What menu? [20:46] minimec: the menu of the network manager [20:46] hey ikonia ;p [20:47] zezu: hello ? [20:47] ikonia: I don't know any kill switch...? [20:47] Darkas: is this a laptop ? [20:47] ikona: yes === Xero is now known as Guest95401 [20:47] Darkas: most laptops either have a switch or key sequence that enables / disabled the wirless hardware, it's called the kill switch === XuMuK is now known as help [20:48] Darkas: a lot of the time when the wirless option disappears, it's because you've hit the kill switch (I do it all the time) [20:48] Darkas: Right click on the network-manager icon on the panel... Is networking and wireless enabled? [20:48] corigo when i did iwconfig, for wlan0, it says IEEE 802.11dgn ESSID:off/any === jeiworth__ is now known as jeiworth === help is now known as Guest68628 [20:48] MODE:managed Access Point:not associated [20:48] Tx-power=off === Guest68628 is now known as XuMuK [20:49] ikonia: this isn't working... on windows, I have menu that pops up when I want to enable it, which lets me select wifi or bluetooth [20:49] but here, it just enables or disables bluetooth [20:49] Hello everybody. I have a hopefully simple question: Is there an easy way to install mySQL 5.1.6+ on Jaunty (I'm stuck with Jaunty because this is a VPS running OpenVZ and I only have access inside the host or I would upgrade to Lucid) [20:49] minimec: Networking enabled, wireless menu item missing [20:49] ikonia: do you use an xorg.conf file? i'm having trouble to figure out how to read the log-file and there find out what driver it's using [20:50] Darkas: open a console and type iwconfig in it. what so you get? [20:50] hey [20:50] I have lo and eth1 both without wireless [20:50] eth1 is my cable network [20:50] i need help with wireless [20:50] corigo i have my wifi off [20:51] ubuntu doesnt recognise my wireless pci adapter [20:51] clerical: I used to use one with 9.10 as xorg always forced the i810, but with 10.04 it's finding the card as intel now [20:51] prince_jammys: this works this way: "exec sudo -u www-data /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/mcore/core.js >> /var/log/mcore.log 2>&1" [20:51] ok, got picasa working need to mount a smb folder. how do in ubuntu 10.4 [20:51] hoodoos: yep [20:52] prince_jammys: btw, what does sh -c "..." should mean? since it doesn't write anything with it [20:52] ikonia: Ok, it seems like X is finding the correct driver for my card to [20:52] I will be right back [20:52] ikonia: and I that was hoping for a quick fix *sobs* [20:52] hoodoos: shorter: "..... & >> /var/log/mcore.log" [20:52] hello can anyone help me installing drivers for my wireless pci adapter....

[20:54] Darkas: that really sounds like a kill switch [20:54] hoodoos: you probably needed that somewhere so that the redirections take place as a different user. otherwise >foo is set up _before_ sudo is run.

Load an older kernel. (left for grub menu) [20:57] hoodoos: if you run ''sudo sh -c 'blah >somefile' '' , you're running sh via sudo, so in sh's eyes, you are root, and the redirection works.

[20:59] hey banished [20:59] where does apt-get install the 'zendframework' package? [20:59] got it [20:59] banished: Ive written "dmesg" into terminal and i get too many lines, too many that i cant scroll up any more =[ [21:00] tusk: dmesg | more [21:00] prince_jammys I plugged in usb ethernet from my modem to my ubuntu netbook, and when i used lsusb, it shows as globespan Inc LAM modem, Then i downloaded and installed driver for that from http://sourceforge.net/projects/eciadsl/files/. But even after i restart, the network's not getting recognised [21:00] tusk: the last few dozend lines should be enough [21:00] huh ? [21:01] prince_jammys, ah! got it [21:01] hang on [21:01] tusk: you can also open /var/log/dmesg in an editor [21:01] prince_jammys, looks really strange indeed [21:01] it's all a mess :) [21:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/480092/ [21:01] banished:http://paste.ubuntu.com/480092/ [21:02] banished: http://paste.ubuntu.com/480092/ [21:02] oh [21:02] ill do that if you need more [21:02] Guest95401: PM.. [21:03] I'm trying to find out what features seahorse-plugins provide, there isn't really much information about it online..Does anyone know? [21:03] prince_jammys do you know any solution for that problem? [21:03] banished: I know that my pci adapter is there, i used the ubuntu troubleshoot wireless internet connection and there was a command to check if my device was plugged in [21:03] tusk: so you are using ndiswrapper? [21:03] banished: ubuntu knows its there [21:04] banished: i have it installed [21:04] rockhopper: i don't [21:04] how do i know if i am using it ? [21:04] weedar: right-click -> Encrypt in Nautilus, encrypt/decrypt plugins for gedit, double-click actions for encrypted files, signed files, and keyrings, etc. [21:04] prince_jammys, i got another problem now, following script (http://pastebin.com/XsQ91zeE) doesn't make my node see NODE_PATH variable when I run it. my guess is maybe export is not being made under root, however i use SUDO to start my script, where can be a problem? [21:04] banished: I have got windows drivers for my card but they donot work in windows and neither do they work in the windows driver application in ubuntu [21:04] offtopic wen't crazy little bit [21:05] banished: correction - its called windows wireless drivers [21:05] tusk: can you do sudo modprobe acx and check if there is something in iwconfig afterwards? or dmesg [21:05] banished: huh? [21:05] prince_jammys, when i tried to start the driver, it says, grep:/proc/bus/usb/devices: No such fule or directory [21:05] rww: Thanks, that was a great answer :) double-click action for encrypted files expect a specific filename-suffix I suppose? [21:05] prince_jammys, or maybe problem in -u www-data really? so i export variable in some other context? [21:05] banished: ill do sudo modprobe acx and paste what is there ? [21:05] hey, where is the config file for keyboard layout, it keeps changing, i'll lock it [21:06] weedar: I'm not sure. If it uses suffixes, it'd be .asc and .gpg. It might just detect, though [21:06] (from the file contents) [21:06] and question for everyone: what should i read to stop ask questions like that? i mean that primitive :) [21:06] rockhopper: address the main channel; someone might help [21:06] banished: it says warning: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release [21:06] ok [21:06] banished: followed by FATAL: Module acx not found [21:07] What would be the best way to login and use a Ubuntu Desktop install on a VM from Windows.

[21:10] minimac: it works with the older kernel [21:10] bhauff, yes, tunneling X over ssh is my method of choice too [21:10] prince_jammys, ah it worked.. btw, i don't feel really goot to running my script as sudo.. it doesn't seem to use any privilages. so can i make owner of the script some other user? maybe www-data and run it under it? [21:10] bhauff, tho on windows you need xming [21:10] rooks: Do you need to use cygwin to get X in Windows or is there a way to natively install it? [21:10] bhauff, xming [21:11] tusk: hm, that's odd, the driver seemed to have been included in ubuntu, but now it seems gone, you might have to compile it yourself, but beware that it is said not to work well with network manager [21:11] In the past I remember using cygwin, X, putty, and X11 forwarding to make a half way decent system [21:11] banished: did you read sudo lshw -c network ? [21:11] bhauff, xming makes thing work just like that [21:11] banished: http://paste.ubuntu.com/480097/ [21:11] rooks: Would you recommend that setup over vnc?

I've googled and there seem to be so many ways - rc this and init that! Help! :) [21:21] MaverickXero, download the sources for the lucid or maverick package and rebuild on jaunty [21:22] sipickles: what app ? gui ? [21:22] sipickles, what kind of application? [21:22] ubuntu server [21:22] ah sry [21:22] Darkas: So we are talking about a regression... Did you find any bug on launchpad on that? As dirty workaround, you could edit /etc/default/grub to make the *.21 Kernel default on boot. [21:22] sipickles: easiest way add to /etc/rc.local an entry for it [21:22] one is flashpolicyd [21:22] other is my own python socket server [21:23] sipickles: if you need more control do an init script based on /etc/init.d/skeleton === _ng is now known as _NG [21:23] no control required, just a pure background process [21:24] erUSUL: what is 'an entry' in rc.local? the command to run it? [21:24] or symlink? [21:25] bit of a noob sry [21:25] my X sometimes crashes, and 'sudo service gdm restart' won't restart it. It says "Fatal server error: Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error" in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which I suspect is the relevant error.

[21:26] i only need linux headers [21:26] erUSUL: [21:26] tusk: it is equivalent but easier to type (hopefully) [21:26] erUSUL: i dont know what the 'uname -r' is [21:26] so i just type what you just typed [21:26] into terminal ? [21:26] tusk: that will get replaced by your kernel version [21:26] erUSUL: ? [21:27] erUSUL: if i type what you just wrote it will work [21:27] ? [21:27] tusk: is a shell trick. when you run this $(uname -r) will be replaced automatically with your kernel version [21:27] is it possible to remove the gui from ubuntu, so there is just a terminal when you boot in [21:27] tusk: yes it will work [21:27] !info mysql-server-5.1 | MaverickXero [21:27] MaverickXero: mysql-server-5.1 (source: mysql-dfsg-5.1): MySQL database server binaries.

[21:48] antlong: if you really need 2.7 I'd suggest installing it into your home directory [21:48] its alright [21:49] im more familiar with knoppix [21:49] tusk: yes, it's just a directory, use the kubuntu-desktop pagage [21:49] tusk: ok - then go and use it [21:49] that is why im using it [21:49] tusk: and is there a driver in the mailine Linux kernel for that chipset? if not, switching to Knoppix won't help. [21:49] oh ok [21:49] there was [21:49] but apparently it was too buggy so they removed it [21:49] i came accross this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/acx100 [21:49] i have a 5.1 USB headset and when i start a music player i go into system,settings, sound and changes my headset from analog 5.1 to 4,1 and then back to 5.1 abd the vibration comes and then when my music player (doesent matter wich cuz this happens in everyone) changes song the vibratien is gone and i have to change back [21:49] but it is for ubuntu 4 years ago [21:50] tusk: why not just buy a well-supported card for US$20? [21:50] because im stingy !!! [21:50] jk [21:50] i want to use this one [21:50] it has worked before [21:50] how can i make the system use 2.7 [21:50] but i just cant get it working on here [21:50] tusk: no G or N speeds. probably no WPA WPA2. [21:50] antlong: I explained earlier [21:50] tusk: kde 4.4 is in 10.04 [21:51] into my homedir? [21:51] it is G with WPA2 [21:51] i need it to be systemwide [21:51] gotta break down and spend 20 [21:51] is it ? [21:51] thats good [21:51] tusk: the version of ubuntu that comes with kde is called kubuntu [21:51] antlong: it's not packaged for 10.04 so you'd have to build a package, hoever having 2 different versions on the same system is dangerous, so I'd advise using your home dir for python 2.7 [21:51] anyone in here using jolicloud? [21:51] antlong: why do you need it installed outside of your home dir ? [21:51] tusk: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166038 <--- problem solved [21:51] the guy helping me with installing the driver left and gave me a webpage which is for 4years ago ! [21:51] ikonia: eh not sure, probably dont [21:51] whats the prefix to install it in home [21:52] mneptok: i cba [21:52] antlong: ok - so that would be my best advice to make sure it doesn't conflict with your system installed python [21:52] i want to use the current one i9 have [21:52] antlong: it's --prefix at the configure time [21:52] --prefix=~/opt ? [21:52] tusk: OK, best of luck. [21:52] put it this way, ubuntu took the micky setting up WIRED internet ! [21:52] antlong: no, --prefix=/home/$username [21:52] knoppix = plug n play [21:52] tusk: i left you with a pointer at using ndiswrapper you never come back with any problem or issue [21:53] even bloody windows plug n play [21:53] tusk: then use knoppix, it's getting old hearing you cry [21:53] oh yeah [21:53] ersul: the topic was no help [21:53] erUSUL: the topic is not compatible with my device [21:53] tusk: how come; i guy with the same card as you asked for help and got the problem solved [21:53] ikonia: whats the prefix? === _NG is now known as _ng [21:53] did he ?

[21:55] tusk: you mjay have to change the inf file to match your device [21:55] i need link again [21:55] how ? === easter_egg is now known as easter_egg|off [21:55] rww: is there a file to edit ? like .gnomerc?

However, since my wireless card isn't working, I can't download it directly using synaptic or aptitude, and have to sort out dependencies by hand. A little help? [21:57] Licuadora: only that the benchmarks are most of the time meaningless [21:57] neri: I'm not sure. If it's stored in gconf, it'd be /etc/gconf/ , I think [21:58] Rummage: download from packages.ubuntu.com ( linux-image-whatever-version ) copy in a usb key [21:58] !netsplit [21:58] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === Cain` is now known as Cain [21:59] has anyone tired vhcs2 on Ubuntu. [21:59] minimec: ok reinstalling + rebooting did not help [21:59] rww: doesnt make much sense, because every user has a profile... imagine everyprofile in a single file [21:59] who did that [21:59] So far no good. I get {TR_GENERAL_INFORMATION} tags and no images. [22:00] minimec: the problem is that cable network doesn't work with the older kernel :P [22:00] is there any way to reset and reinstall locales all files and settings? i fucked this up [22:00] erUSUL: hey i lost the cd with my drivers [22:00] erUSUL: so i need to download the driver [22:00] !language [22:00] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[22:01] hey guys, how do I tell nautilus to forget logins/passwords for samba shares? [22:01] erUSUL:U think thats the reason i can't open it?

Thanks! [22:04] part [22:04] I am looking to install ubuntu 10.4 SERVER NOT client on a computer without a cdrom drive. Is there a way to put the iso or the extracted iso on a USB stick/drive which is bootable and install it from there with grub4dos or similar? [22:05] cn1109: PHP4 was dropped from Ubuntu's repositories in 2007, and isn't supported any more. If you need it, you'd need to compile it from source (which is also not supported here). [22:05] If I install kvpnc will I be able to run it in a gnome session? I'm trying to configure my vpn and I've been told that using kvpnc is the best way. [22:05] i am getting to the point where it starts the installation using grub4dos, but then complains about missing the cdrom [22:06] When I do sudo apt-get install kvpnc it has all kinds of things it wants to install with it. I think lots of KDE type stuff.... [22:06] is it safe to remove lucid-updates? I have server that I configured for a single purpose and don't ever want to change it [22:06] !unetbootin | pZombie [22:06] pZombie: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [22:06] raiffa: updates, yes [22:06] raiffa: -updates is optional. you should probably keep -security, though. [22:07] raiffa: disabling -security is a bad idea though [22:07] Tonus - that tutorial does not apply to the server iso [22:07] hmmm I'm having a hard time finding where I set the iPod's mount point in gtkpod. I have the ipod mounted in /mnt/ipod but gtkpod doesn't see it. and I don't see a field to set the mount point in the program's preferences [22:07] Darkas: That error could be a goof start for a bug trace ;) [22:07] hey, when i try to connect to the wired netowork in my house, i click 'auto eth0' from the toolbar, the, the symbol does it's connecting dance, after which i am told that the wired network is disconnected. want logs or anything? [22:07] maco, rww: okay. yeah, I figured -security was necessary [22:07] pZombie: doesn't matter [22:07] thanks [22:07] pZombie, but it works just as well. unetbootin allows you to turn any bootable iso into a usb stick. [22:08] minimec: google points to 2 bugs in launchpad, both with this module [22:08] but with different kernels [22:08] minimec: seems like this appears and disappears sometimes... [22:08] Tonus - You CANNOT boot ANY bootable iso using unetbootin from a usb stick. It works only with SOME bootable isos ... [22:09] wilhart: it looks like the main LANGUAGE = "en_US:en" is no good. You might set this in /etc/default/locale to something known good LANG="en_US.UTF-8", and then move forward. [22:09] is anyone using ubuntu netbook on their desktop? [22:09] pZombie, I've never had one that didn't work. [22:09] 1st time on, During Ubuntu installer for windows install, I get this message: ERROR root: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found. Can anyone here help? [22:09] Tonus - have you tried 10.4 lucid lynx SERVER this way? [22:09] pZombie, yes. [22:09] !anyone | semi-fly [22:09] semi-fly: 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? [22:10] Tonus - i will try and will stand corrected i guess [22:10] tusk: you have to extact the *.inf file from windows drivers and install ndiswraper [22:11] pZombie, mind you, I was not refering to the default tool that comes with ubuntu, called usb-creator-gtk, that doesn't take all iso's as you said. [22:11] Hi guys, I am having a slow boot, I checked dmesg and find several errors. [22:11] erUSUL: I know the procedure, I can't find what I'm looking for. The instructions just say to install the linux kernel from lucid-updates, which is, given what my searches have turned up, REALLY vague. [22:11] thune3: move forward? my locales are not kind to me [22:11] Tonus - the site you linked me to, does not apply? [22:12] Howdy, quick question for anyone that may know about the photo submission for desktop backgrounds. The photos have to be 1920x1680 but to offer photos at that resolution the submitter must have a pro account (which I do not) can I still submit?

[22:13] thune3: where is the file that determinates that locale [22:13] thune3: how it looks like [22:13] istvan: Could you type "sudo dhclient eth0" in terminal and see if you get an IP adres? [22:14] erUSUL: Okay, that's one step closer, but I still have no clue which one to get. [22:14] Why do they keep saying we need to make one distrobution standard in order to get apps ported? Doesn't .bin work on every major distro? [22:14] Rummage: that would be linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic [22:14] wilhart: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales ? [22:14] http://pastebin.com/ZrP2Aq3s [22:14] Rummage: the one from updates [22:14] Retracted, I think I have it.

[22:16] kyentei, yup, that shows the same ip (192.168.15.171) [22:16] delaware: if you need to ask, most likely no. === DaZ is now known as ania12lat [22:16] istvan: Okay. So your eth0 should be working and DHCP works just fine. Do you, by any chance, have changed the settings of eth0 in the connection manager applet you use (top right icon) [22:16] SwedMike: i only ask since i have never tried the 64 bit verion of either linux or winblows. === niekie_ is now known as niekie [22:16] delaware: 64bit isn't a performance upgrade, it's a addressing size upgrade, you do it because you need to address more memory [22:16] i cant see my scandit now this is great === SwedMike is now known as SwedeMike [22:17] co tam [22:17] Tonus - "install cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" i think this is what i missed [22:17] i need a url for remove all locales settings and then reinstall them again [22:17] ... or you need AES-NI on newer intel CPUs, because that's 64bit only. [22:17] going to try now [22:17] kyentei, i have been in here a week trying to get it work - in the process I have changed settings in gui and cli. i think they are back to normal though now (think) [22:17] SwedMike: in that case no i don't need it with only 3gb of ram [22:17] istvan: Is that PC connected to the internet with any other interface? If not, try pinging google.com [22:18] delaware: for a desktop system I'd advice against it then, it's more trouble than it's worth. [22:18] kyentei, ok, one sec [22:18] hi, I have a laptop with ubuntu 9.10. Something happend and system can't boot. When I got this notebook I had saw, that root (/) partition damaged (this ubuntu have /, /home, /var, /usr, /tmp, swap). So, I boot by livecd 10.04 and call fsck -y -f /dev/sda1, this improoved all errors. But lost /sbin. So, what a best way to repair this system? [22:19] . [22:19] varlon: if /sbin is completely gone, I'd recommend re-install to be safe, it can be rescued but since you're asking, I'd advice against it. === Stefan_ is now known as ByteProject [22:20] Hi. I'm trying to set ACLs in my system. I did sudo aptitude install acl and modified /etc/fstab. Whenever I try to use setfacl I get the error "Operation not supported". I don't see "acl" anywhere in /etc/mtab. Should it be there? Thanks. [22:20] need urgent help, screwed up display by hitting monitor change key (Fn + F7) on sony laptop F series. Monitor will shut off the screen backlight and wont let me see anything this happens after restart too. [22:20] is it passible to save /home with new installation? [22:20] kyentei, nope, no go [22:20] guest: what did you put in fstab ? [22:20] varlon: yes. [22:21] running 10.4 netbook remix and alt-tab just shows the highlighted border and does not bring the window to the front [22:21] how would i change this [22:21] I am back now ;) [22:21] ok got scandit working but not in tinyfugue [22:21] istvan: And if you type "route" in terminal. Does it go all the way to your gateway & can you ping your gateway? [22:21] wilhart: locale variables settings can be set anywhere along the environment settings chain. ' grep "fi_FI.UTF-8" ~/.* /etc/environment /etc/default/locale /etc/security/pam_env.conf ' may find it. [22:21] erUSUL, dont know what fstab is. Im using another acc with root priv. can you tell me so I can check from here? [22:21] guest: sorry wrong nick [22:22] varlon: Using the alternate installation CD and entering in the shell you might be able to mount the filesystem again. [22:22] I need unuse them while installation and mount mounualy after or ubuntu 10.04 can use existens /home whithout clearing? [22:22] SwedeMike [22:22] gasull: show the fstab line you used ?

Your issue could very well be a kernel issue. [22:28] thune3: ok scandit works in konsole and irssi but not tinyfugue [22:28] MaRk-I, thanks ill try that [22:28] DJAshnar: I've had Toshiba issues on a laptop too. That was with 9.10. Perhaps 10.10 will fix it for you. [22:28] I updated the Kernel [22:28] 10.10 beta out yet? [22:28] DJAshnar: No, it's in alpha 3 now. [22:29] hello everybody [22:29] kyentei, it did the whole request pack bound thing accouridn to dhclient [22:29] Hmmm. Can I use Wubi to install the alpha?

[22:30] So I'm trying to make a video for someone with limited hardware... I recorded video with Cheese and gtkRecordMyDesktop, audio with the Sound Recorder, blended them together with Pitivi and rendered it as both .ogv and .mpeg... when I open the file in WinFF to convert to another format, it plays the video all wrong... colors are screwed up, the whole thing looks staticy, it's made up of large blocks of discolored pixels. Are there no other [22:30] I would like to know if it is possible to do a virtual installation of a 64bits OS if the real computer is a 32bits one? [22:30] good converters? [22:30] Andorin: for what? [22:30] aeon-ltd: Video files [22:30] lguenhael, no [22:30] why is something sending signal 15 to my ntpd whenever my wireless connection changes? [22:31] (and how do i stop it) [22:31] itsux2bu: that's probably better suited for #vbox or ##windows for how to set that up [22:31] Andorin: ffmpeg? [22:31] kyentei: WinFF is a graphical front end for ffmpeg [22:31] kyentei, and /etc/network/interfaces has only 2 lines. one is auto lo, and the second is similar. and i can't ping the device i got the ip from [22:31] how can convert this [858919.623359] in human readable time format like Aug 18 06:27:12 or something similar ? [22:31] that was from dmesg [22:31] Andorin: Then I do not know, sorry [22:32] kyentei, after tying to connect for a few seconds it shows me that error "wired network - you are now disconnected" [22:32] istvan: Pff.. [22:32] Hmmm. Need to learn a non Wubi install for the lappie then [22:32] istvan: yea, I'm familiar with that error. That's just the popup though, doesn't give us any info about the cause [22:32] kyentei, where would i find the log for that error? [22:32] axisys: you could do the math, that's how many seconds *after* power-on [22:32] Andorin: handbrake [22:33] istvan: All your logs are saved in /var/log [22:33] axisys: date -d "-858919.623359 seconds" [22:33] DJAshnar: I don't recommend an alpha release to fix a problem. You could try the live CD version of 10.10, but I wouldn't mess with it unless you have good backups [22:33] Hello, require some help in debugging firmware failure [22:33] kyentei, which one should i look at for this? [22:33] kyentei, messages? [22:33] istvan: I have no answer to that. I don't think this is an error that will be logged. [22:33] why did they switch the default alt-tab behaviour(switch window immediately focus) to show borders but not the window? [22:33] kermit: awesome! thanks a lot [22:34] istvan: Is there an "auto eth0" in your /etc/network/interfaces?

[23:26] I'm trying to share a folder on a usb hard drive (FAT32) over a samba network share but I get "Unable to mount location". Is this a permission problem? [23:26] Typhlosion: everything has bugs [23:26] maco, ok thx thought maybe my ferret got on my comp and sent stuff to the channel lol, cause usually i just idle here [23:26] !language | duffydack [23:26] duffydack: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:26] sorry [23:26] xxploit: i sent you a PM to tell you what happened...or at least i think i did [23:27] While messing around I somehow got Grub 2 to only display Windows 7 (loader) and not the Ubuntu entries. How do I get it back? I followed the Grub2 article on the wiki, section Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD exactly, update-grub saw the Linux kernel and Windows 7 loader, but it only added W7 to the config file :| I'm leaning towards wiping the partitions. [23:27] maco, yes i see that now, have so many channels open i didnt take notice, thx man [23:27] rizzuh_laptop, I wish I had an explanation to that. How much was you "messing" around [23:27] underdev: do you know what those files might be_ [23:27] underdev: I know many people here are better with ubuntu than me! [23:27] lol i likr the tabs in xchat but ive so many channels i went to tree view [23:27] display, are you all set? [23:28] duffydack, trying to get Grub to only display "Ubuntu 10.04" and "Windows 7" in the menu. [23:28] aeon-ltd, yes, but if you create your own os you would have a far better ability to fix the bugs. At least in my own program I know when a bug occurs why it occurs or I can easily find it out. [23:28] did the messages send before, zus?? The ones I sent? [23:28] rizzuh_laptop, did you chroot ? [23:28] display, yeah [23:28] duffydack, when I tried recovering? [23:28] display, your a star and are you getting this [23:28] rizzuh_laptop, yeah [23:28] duffydack, at that time, yes. [23:28] zus, aces. I'm working on my first real attempt at an IRC client, which promptly crashed for some reason [23:28] duffydack, I followed the guide on the wiki [23:28] hi [23:29] zus, thanks for your help though :D [23:29] But with Ubuntu there are too many programs doing stuff so I have to search in the internet for days to find a solution - or no solution... :/ [23:29] same as with Windows [23:29] rizzuh_laptop, odd.. do you have a seperate home partition? [23:29] duffydack, yeah. [23:29] how do i install a .sh file? [23:30] I need a bit of help [23:30] russellcox: what is the file? [23:30] install.sh [23:30] Alan502: i don't. but it's not due to lack of helpfulness. See the pure gold about audacity/winff earlier :) [23:30] russellcox: what do you expect it to install? [23:30] russellcox, make it executable and just ./install.sh [23:30] game [23:30] i have installed ubuntu 10.04 and need to install the latest drivers but i can't ping google... [23:31] russellcox: WHAT game? [23:31] rizzuh_laptop, well its not ideal but since you have been asking for a while... it might be worth marking your installed packages, then reinstalling, but not formatting your home partition. [23:31] i know i had an internet connection on it before [23:31] Wormux [23:31] duffydack, it's encrypted :| [23:31] russellcox: install from the repos [23:31] rizzuh_laptop, if you have followed the wiki, and chrooted etc, then I dont know what else [23:31] ok [23:31] russellcox: sudo apt-get install wormux [23:31] list [23:31] duffydack, and me hasn't saved the encryption key. [23:32] look: are u using a wired or wireless connection? [23:32] I'm getting an error when trying to connect to my vpn with kvpnc...it says:the current -script-security setting may allow this configuration to call user-defined scripts [23:32] rizzuh_laptop, your home or your whole hd. [23:32] ubottu: thanks [23:32] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [23:32] Is that the reason that I can't get connected [23:32] Hey! [23:33] Can i use usb-creator on non-ubuntu? [23:33] lal [23:33] duffydack, home. [23:33] russellcox, a wired connection [23:33] The problem is that i downloaded it and it sait that i don't have udisks running while i do! [23:33] ask it again for others i personally have never used a VPN [23:33] russellcox, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 from the CD to a system that i had to force xvesa to get the nvidia driver [23:34] omg [23:34] so? [23:34] rizzuh_laptop, any chance of just backing up your files and remaking it [23:34] rizzuh_laptop, might be time consuming but it would fix it :( [23:34] duffydack, I can't access them, that's the issue. Can't boot into Ubuntu. [23:35] rizzuh_laptop, oh, duh me [23:35] Answered my own question, it was a permission problem. Does anyone know if samba logs errors to some file? "failed" isn't really much of an error >_< [23:35] rizzuh_laptop, you cant access them from the livecd? [23:36] Hi all I can I fix this error "dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libswt-gtk-3.6-java_3.6-1~ppa4_amd64.deb (--unpack): [23:36] trying to overwrite '/usr/share/java/swt.jar', which is also in package libswt-gtk-3.5-java 0:3.5.2-1~ppa1 [23:37] duffydack, no, as /home is encrypted :| [23:37] rizzuh_laptop, odd. my usbstick is encrypted but it mounts, with the proper password [23:38] duffydack, I guess it will work if I enter my password, but how do I mount it and log-in? xD [23:38] hi my alsa mixer setting reset after reboot anyine got any idea why? [23:38] duffydack, from the live CD? [23:38] Does anyone know the default "configuration" used when auto mounting an external usb disk? [23:39] is there any room for ieee [23:39] ubuntu does not have a driver for my network card... [23:39] #ieee [23:39] rizzuh_laptop, like any other drive? [23:39] any ideas on how i can install this driver? [23:39] babu__: ieee¿ === _ng is now known as _NG [23:39] look: what driver¿ [23:39] xangua, the nvidia drivers... [23:39] duffydack, well, I have no idea xD I'd need to mount it as /home at the login screen, but I have no idea how. [23:39] xangua, and i have no idea what driver i need [23:40] rizzuh_laptop, you dont need to mount it as /home, just mount it to get your data off it [23:40] look: just go to system>administration>hardware support, install the one that recomends you [23:40] duffydack, it needs to be decrypted first though. [23:40] xangua, that would be easy if i had the drivers for the internet connection [23:40] rizzuh_laptop, which it does, when you give the password [23:40] duffydack, it never asks for the password when I mount it. [23:41] and what is your wireless card look¿ [23:41] rizzuh_laptop, ah. how did you encrypt it [23:41] duffydack, during the install I selected the "ecrypt my home directory" option. [23:42] xangua, i don't have a wireless card in a desktop, i didn't say i had a laptop, i have an Nvidia made wired connection NIC [23:42] hi my alsa mixer setting reset after reboot anyone got any idea why? [23:43] duffydack, any way to completely remove grub2 and reinstall it from live cd when chrooted? [23:43] duffydack, will aptitude work fine? [23:43] gl [23:43] look: most nVidia wired NIC chipsets have open drivers that are included in the kernel by default. [23:43] rizzuh_laptop, it should have worked as is... grub-install /whatever and update-grub === bialal is now known as Bilal [23:44] duffydack, well update-grub said it detected Linux kernel and Windows 7, but only 7 shows up on the menu. [23:44] mneptok, well my ubuntu install does not see the NIC card at all only the local loopback === Bilal is now known as Bilal_yousef [23:44] rizzuh_laptop, to remove it I guess you`d need your windows 7 cd and boot it choose repair and bootsect /nt60 c:\ /mbr === Bilal_yousef is now known as Bilal_yousef2001 [23:44] look: is the interface enabled in the BIOS? === Bilal_yousef2001 is now known as Bilal_yousef [23:44] rizzuh_laptop, but that wont fix it [23:45] mneptok, in my BIOS?! [23:45] look: ys, in the BIOS. [23:45] duffydack, I know how to restore the Windows bootloader to the MBR, but I mean, will I be able to remoev the grub2 package completely with settings and so on and reinstall it? [23:45] rizzuh_laptop, have you tried the ALT then F4 and got to the Recovery mode? [23:45] ALT meaning ALT ISO [23:45] KE1HA, nope. [23:46] KE1HA, when should I press that? [23:46] mneptok, can you explain a bit? ive had a huge hassel getting this install to work im just getting rly annoyed at it. [23:46] rizzuh_laptop, I dont think it will make a difference. update-grub isnt adding ubuntu to your grub.cfg for some odd reason. [23:46] look: reboot the machine. press the correct key to enter the BIOS. look around in the BIOS settings and make sure that the onboard Ethernet has not been disabled there. [23:46] Yep, but I guess reinstalling clean will fix that, the grub2 files may be corrupted or something IDK :| [23:47] Give that a Shot, get an ALT ISO. When your presented with Install test, etc. select recovery mode, you can repair / re-install Grub from there. [23:47] mneptok, ok and once that is done tell me the drivers i need to install if the BIOS does not work [23:47] look: i have no idea. [23:47] KE1HA, oh, alternate CD. Will try. [23:48] hi, i'm on a dell laptop and ubuntu 10.04 and my laptop has random freezes, how can i make sure is hardware related? [23:48] look: *what* nVidia NOC shipset? what revision? who supplies the Linux drivers, nVidia ... or? where do you get them? do you have to compile a Linux kernel module yourself? is it already compiled? [23:48] look: your BIOS is not working? [23:48] Yeah, I tested allot of those this week, works pretty well. Just make sure you recover the right partitions :-) [23:48] display_ hello [23:48] Can anyone point me to a good resource for getting wireless networking working? [23:48] tuga3d: have you tried another operating system? [23:48] look, relax everyone here is just here to help free of charge we help others on our own time not yours thanks [23:48] look: you need to provide a LOT more information about your hardware before anyone can give you educated advice. [23:48] wabash: explain a little more of what you are trying to do [23:49] wabash: what kind of lan? [23:49] estou usando o lubuntu [23:49] tuga3d: does it freeze during boot up (before the login screen)? [23:49] hi my alsa mixer setting reset after reboot anyine got any idea why? [23:49] !es | vieira [23:49] vieira: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:49] Blue1: yep, other linux distros, also freezes [23:49] Blue1: too bad that's Portugese :P [23:49] hey there... i'm using ubuntu for 5 minutes now.. but there's something i really dont like.. if i change a directory it doesn't show me the full path where i'm in right now and i can't copy the path of my current location [23:49] can i somehow change this? [23:49] thats portuguese Blue [23:49] Blue1* [23:50] Blue1: lov255: Well, I don't know much about wireless on Ubu yet. I am not seeing wlan0 as a device, so I'm not sure how to get started. The wiki is really really full of holes. [23:50] mneptok: I have enough difficulties with english [23:50] and is it possible to display everything listed (ctrl 2) [23:50] bint: pwd [23:50] pwd? [23:50] blue1: are you portuguese? [23:50] Typhlosion: you still here?, i think arch linux is a distro you'd like, its almost completely barebones from base, and everything is built by you(and the package manager) so all conflict bugs are easy to spot [23:50] tuga3d: that would indicate a hardware problem [23:50] can some one tell me the drivers i need for a ubuntu 10.04 install? [23:50] bint [23:50] wabash: what are you using for Ubuntu box and wireless card? [23:50] * Blue1 checks [23:50] bint, in the file manager, press Ctrl L [23:50] * Blue1 is american today [23:50] lov255: it's all built in. Newish laptop [23:51] blue1: thanks [23:51] look, what wifi card you have > thats first ? [23:51] bint: type pwd to get your current full path [23:51] aeon-ltd: Thank you, I will tray it :) [23:51] ahh thx ThomasB2k [23:51] hiexpo: How do you do that? [23:51] hiexpo, i have a Nvidia made wired card [23:51] Blue1: is there some software to try to pinpoint with hardware part is faulty? [23:51] is this permanent when i pressed ctrl L? [23:51] well i'll see thx :) [23:51] tuga3d: yeah you can run a sytem diagnostic hang on [23:52] wabash: awww you are going to have problems, let me suggest you do what I did, go out and buy a cheep Belkin USB wireless G adapter, I got mine from PC Richard & Son for $29 [23:52] lov255: Ok, good idea. But I'd also like to learn how to deal with the system. [23:52] tuga3d: System/Adminstration/System Testing [23:52] Blue1: thanks again :) [23:53] one sec busy in another channel [23:53] wabash: last week I spent 5 days trying to get a Linksys USB card to work with my Ubuntu, with the help of major guru's in this chat room we where not able to make it work...I am very hard headed and spent over 50 hours trying to get it to work...trust me I bought my Belkin and pluged in to laptop and worked in 2 sec [23:54] wabash: 50+ hours or 2 sec. it s up to you, there are people in thie room that will work with you for the 50+ hours LOL [23:54] lov255: would that work with a network printer, you think? [23:55] blue1: to connect to the Network printer? [23:55] lspci -v | less [23:55] lov255: yes [23:55] omg [23:55] look, lspci -v | less [23:55] lov255: it's either that, or I need either get a wireless router with more then 4 ports, or put a router behind a router [23:56] hiexpo, i have given up and just going to install 9.10 till the driver issue is fixed [23:56] you just ned more wired ports?? [23:56] blue1: I really am not sure, I do not know enough about the communications with printers in ubuntu...I would assume Linux would be looking for printer on LPT or USB ports...and well card is attached to USB, however the driver would have to tell the USB to detect the wireless printer [23:57] blue1: however on the other hand if the printer has an IP address on your network I do not see why Ubuntu would not be able to pick it up [23:57] look, you may never get the driver than === twisted`_ is now known as twisted` [23:57] lov255: YEAH that's excatly what I don't know.... [23:58] is it really gonna be called Orgasmic Ocelot? [23:58] blue1: last time I worked with wireless printers was over a year ago...to make it work it needed an IP on the network through the router [23:58] * Blue1 is proud of himself - only took about 2.5 hours to debug and get autofs up and running yesterday [23:58] look and yes i still use 9.10 [23:58] hi guys [23:58] blue1: if you get the IP from the printer and set it up on Ubuntu as a network device you should not have a problem [23:58] newbie here [23:59] !ask | harmandeep [23:59] harmandeep: 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. :-) [23:59] lov255: ahh that's twhat I thought I might put some of my less used devices like dvr and phone on to another router behind the router -- chepeast way to go, that would free port for printer [23:59] Hi Guys
