[00:00] why get a router, just get a switch.. [00:00] My touchpad is freezing [00:00] blue1: just make sure you set the other router with a base IP address that is different from your first or they will conflict [00:00] Is there any way to find out, through the OS, what model of computer you have? something in /proc, maybe? [00:00] I got a dell xps studio 1340 with ubuntu lucid [00:00] if i recompile the kernel manually outside of gmerge, what do i need to copy over correctly to ensure it boots up fine? just the vmlinux.uimg ? [00:01] although CHKCONFIG can be installed on UBUNTU LUCID via repositories ... ||| i m not able to configure services via it ... it throws some errors at output ........ so can we CHKCONFIG on UBUNTU/DEBIAN systems or not for CONFIGURING SERVICES [00:01] itsux2bu: I was assuming he wanted two seperate lans, good idea with a phone system [00:01] Blue1, you don't need a second router, just a hub to hang off your existing router is more than sufficient. [00:01] VOIP? [00:01] or do we need to use some DEBIAN BASED utils ? [00:01] Even restarting the gnome the cursor stays freeze [00:01] yea.. KE1HA [00:02] I think he said VOIP [00:02] blue1: you still here? [00:02] Hi! I cannot mount the partition where i have my /home in any directory, i can only view it from a live cd.

[00:06] blue1: I would still say if you are doing telephone on the internet throw it on another router or acutally use your first for the telephone and second for all other...I would figure talking on the phone is more important then internet actavity, so your first router will run faster then 2nd...might sound a bit confusing the way I explained it [00:06] i sure would like to know what the heck is causing my system to completely stop responding when an email is being delivered and then respond fine once it's delivered [00:06] hi people.. i got some crazy problem with my computer.... im ubuntu user and 4 days ago i decided to use my second partition to install WinXp just to play online games.... well before 3 days my network card just stop to work on winxp, i made it work changing the speed mode of my NIC to 10PMPS, and all is ok... the crazy thing of this is after doing that and rebooting my pc to load ubuntu... those changes just got permanent on the NIC... how this is possible [00:06] lov255: I get fewer than 5 calls/week [00:06] i mean come on, can't be generating THAT damn much i/o to make the laptop go slughead first [00:07] blue1: lol then do the oppisit [00:07] now i cant use my NIC on Ubuntu this is crazy i thought drivers only load on RAM not in the devices [00:07] blue1 or use switch [00:07] Although unless you get a managed switch you run into lost packet problems and etc...if you have the 2nd router best way to go [00:08] enav: change the mode in ubuntu use ethtool ? [00:08] lov255: i will put a router behind a router - I have a non-wireless router, just taking up space, so no is the time to to it. no cost just time to set up -- iirc the gateway for the 2nd router must be the ip addy of the first router.

[00:44] Ken-Young: just curious [00:45] wat is meant by fault injection framework [00:45] zarew, It's not the LED array illuminating the keys - it's this other array of LEDs under the keyboard. It's apparently done to let you know that the laptop is still on, even thogh the backlight is off, but it is *bright* and makes it impossible to sleep in the room with it, unless I physically block the LEDs.

[00:48] kermit: also update to latest kernel and cross fingers [00:48] I just went to the program, clicked about and it says 'Empathy' [00:48] zarew, I figued out the 1/2 Hz by timing it.

[00:49] strangeseraph_, click "Add" name it and the command is empathy [00:49] Vilemaxim: So it will just modularly pick up what hardware it is [00:49] z1lt0id, no reason to lestin to me though [00:49] <_F-117> lol [00:49] Vilemaxim: haha [00:49] valbaca, the new ISO's are 10.04.1 [00:49] thanks :) [00:49] z1lt0id, yeah... linux is much better about those things now days [00:49] strangeseraph_, no problem... test it to be sure...if that doesnt work then it's empathy that is the problem most likely [00:49] <_F-117> Anybody having issues 64 bit wise ? [00:50] for upgrading, all you should have to d is sudo ap-get install dist-upgrade [00:50] Vilemaxim: Ah k [00:50] KE1HA, thanks [00:50] _F-117, you mean wine yes?? :) [00:50] Ken-Young: cool but VERY geeky!

I have *no* use for them. [00:51] KE1HA, I do! :D [00:51] Job Done :-) [00:52] anyone please ... [00:52] Ken-Young: so just snip one end of the leds in question [00:53] Ken-Young: but thats your warranty F**ked [00:53] zarew, I'll bet it's a surface mounted array.

[00:59] hager, I only wish :) [00:59] hassanz: If you have anything other than None set in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects, compiz is running. You do not need fusion-icon [00:59] bint: you could pwd and tell what it says [01:00] if i enter pwd it drops one line and sais root [01:00] come on VOGUE [01:00] if i enter just /root without cd it says: root is a directory === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:00] When I use "sudo update-initramfs -u" i get the error message "Can't open /scripts/casper-functions". Any ideas how to resolve this problem? [01:01] bint, reboot the box, and go back to aterminal [01:01] bint: HEY COME ON CD INTO ROOT [01:01] he tried that, said it was not a command.

[01:11] like the whole system language [01:11] bint what is your actual issue please :) [01:11] debian is better === jimbo is now known as jim--- [01:11] my issue is that i dont know weather i can change languange once its installed or not === other_ is now known as heaviside [01:11] if i can't i'll install it in english [01:11] bint: yes [01:12] how come xubuntu is seen as so bloated when it is just using xfce desktop? [01:12] bint, make a VM of each, then descide. [01:12] bint weather HAHA [01:12] weather :D [01:12] who cares why people see X Y or Z as bloated [01:12] you see.. english is not my 1st language :D [01:12] Im sure sombody cares, jsut not me. [01:12] there will always be someone who thinks this or that is bloated. most of the ones thinking that don't know their butts from their faces [01:12] so why worry [01:12] ubuntu just keeps getting better and better [01:12] lubuser: because it [01:12] pgpkeys, because every distro comparable is said to run better than $buntu's version [01:13] becaues it doesnt fullfill the purpose ofa lightweight desktop [01:13] johnjohn101, worse [01:13] if you want light, you use openbox [01:13] yeah well windows runs better than all of them, freebsd runs better than windows and linux [01:13] magicianlord, xfce is lightweight by design [01:13] can we get any more subjective [01:13] lubuser: ubuntu is getting worse? [01:13] pgpkeys, I am not talking about windows! [01:13] lubuser: its not light enough as a desktop. it fails at that. only components of it are [01:13] johnjohn101, I think so [01:13] pgpkeys, Well, I'd ahve to say, that's a matter of how its tested, and against what standards. [01:13] lubuser ~ never mind your too slow [01:13] mint kde is better than kubuntu [01:14] mint xfce is better than xubuntu [01:14] don't use KDE, I left it [01:14] and kubuntu is better than ubuntu right? [01:14] debian and mint is better than ubuntu [01:14] openbox is better [01:14] hehe nevermind. not worth this discussion [01:14] love me some openbox [01:14] "Could not apply stored configuration of monitors" is the error message that I get when using the nvidia driver from the nvidia website.

Ive read that this bug has existed even since 2005, is there anyway of getting rid off it? [01:22] how can I connect to port 88 of a remote machine ? I thikn its for svn === Damn3d is now known as damn3d [01:23] kandjar: you can also try #ubuntu-server and see if anybody there can help [01:24] only "solution" now is to unplug/replug it [01:24] :) [01:24] strange bug [01:24] how can I svn into port 88 of a machine ? [01:24] hmm.. is there something like µubuntu, like only a core is provided with package systems in place? [01:24] !minimal | rooks [01:24] rooks: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

After 30 minutes of waiting for the desktop to finish loading I told him to reboot and try again. Any suggestions for why it might be taking so long?? [01:27] edbian: low ram? [01:27] drgbr: if you like pidgin try finch, it's a cli app that uses the same configuration [01:27] ivarson: centerim doesn't support utf8 =/ [01:27] IdleOne, It's a newer PC. I don't know how much ram he has but I know he's running windows 7 just fine.

[01:36] R-learner, I think, but not an SVN expert, you ahve to use the http://address:88 [01:36] how do I fix my ubuntu to come up in the screen resolution that I want. it always comes up at 1024x768 and I'd like 1400x900 [01:37] somebody can i help me? [01:38] !someone | linus [01:38] linus: 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? [01:39] R-learner,Here's an example: svn checkout http://host.example.com:88/repos/project [01:39] johnjohn101: check with xrandr if that resolution is supported [01:39] anyone mounted BSD partitions under Ubuntu 10? [01:40] ivarson, yes, I can reset to 1400x900 after reboot xrandr supports it. [01:40] in ubuntu when i install postgres, is an initial datastoreage area already created? [01:40] does anyone know of a ip address rerouting program . [01:40] you know so my address changes every few mins [01:41] toe_: dyndns can give you a dynamic domain and they also offer a dns-domain-ip-updater script [01:41] mounting bsd drives under l00nix, anyone? === twisted`_ is now known as twisted` [01:41] cant u just set the desired resoltion in settings/monitors (not sure on the english labels [01:41] toe_: oh, i misread your statement. nevermind me. [01:41] ivarson, I can reset after reboot but it's a pain. I'd like to boot into the resolution that I want [01:42] KE1HA, does it has to svn into the svn directory of the host machine ? [01:42] ivarson, i set it with the nvidia program and do save to xorg.conf [01:42] ok, after trying some time, i have to come back and ask again [01:43] johnjohn101: yeah sure.. if you're root (or sudo) and manually hit save conf. to xorg.conf [01:43] R-learner, what are you trying to c/o ? [01:43] ivarson. I've done that 100 times. I've even deleted the xorg.conf file 100 times [01:44] did anyone in here manage to install 10.4 lucid lynx SERVER _from_ a bootable USB stick onto a computer without network access and without a CDrom drive? [01:44] KE1HA, just to get access to the machine so I can run R code [01:44] pZombie, yes, abotu 10 times yesterday. [01:45] R-learner, if they have SSH disabled, no chance. [01:45] pZombie, use the Start Up Disk Creator, works well. [01:45] Ke1ha mind sharing the knowledge? I came quite far.. using grub4dos with following entries find --set-root /ubu-s.iso [01:45] map /ubu-s.iso (hd32) [01:45] map --hook [01:45] chainloader (hd32) [01:45] so I can ssh into port 88 ? [01:45] pZombie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:45] johnjohn101: have you verified that the settings are stored? [01:45] KE1HA, I have access to both machines [01:46] it starts booting, but then gets stuck at the CDrom [01:46] KE1HA, can I start ssh into port 88 insteead or port 22 ? [01:46] probably [01:46] which i read is normal, because a usb stick cannot do a full cdrom emulation [01:46] R-learner: yes, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [01:46] R-learner, No, only way you can SSH to Port 88 is if they set that port to SSH, but I highly doubt they'd do that. [01:46] ivarson, I can post my xorg.conf [01:47] R-learner, if you onw the server, yes, you can set the port to whatever you want. [01:47] johnjohn101, use ubuntu.pastebin.com [01:47] Ke1ha - why would the startup disk creator be useful? And how would i use it? [01:47] johnjohn101: nah.. just "grep /etc/X11/xorg.conf" or something [01:48] just to make sure its written ok [01:48] pZombie, it puts the ISO on the USB key for you. The boots like a CD-Rom ISO [01:48] wait, who reversed http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ in the channel topic? [01:48] KE1HA, yes I do own it, so can I change the Port from 22 to 88 in the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart ssh it should work fine ? === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [01:48] johnjohn101: btw are u using an old CRT monitor? [01:49] ke1ha - do you maybe use a special usb stick which can emulate a cdrom? [01:49] pZombie: are you trying to USB boot a machine that doesn't have support for booting via USB in the bios? [01:49] ivarson, no I have a 22" flat panel [01:49] R-learner: if you're behind a router you will need to portfoward the port to your internal ip as well. [01:49] KE1HA, I see almost the entire file been #d [01:49] CAn someone point me to documentation on getting remote desktop working? I would like to control a VM from a mac. thx [01:49] turt1e - i made a partition on my usb 250gb HDD, and i made it boot grub4dos [01:50] pZombie, Yes, it makes a bootable ISO image so you can install from it. [01:50] R-learner, is this fer an Active Directory situation ? [01:50] johnjohn101: is your desired resoltion mentioned in xorg.conf? and only that one? [01:51] yes [01:51] i just posted [01:51] ke1ha - sorry, but this makes no sense to me, because i have no clue which startup disk program you are talking about, and how it is supposed to make my usb stick or usb hdd bootable and put the iso on it. then make sure it all acts like a cdrom. [01:51] ivarson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/480192/ [01:52] Evening. [01:52] pZombie, Ok, let me find a link fer you to read so it explains better. [01:52] Seems whenever I try to install a package I get an error which returns "bcmwl-kernel-source failed to install". Anyone running into this? Know how to fix it? [01:53] pZombie, : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [01:53] ke1ha i already read that. the information it contains is less than incomplete [01:53] Every time I start Rhythmbox, I get a notice that says something about a plugin needing to be installed. "ID3 tag demuxer." I tried searching for said plugin in Synaptic, and was led to something called "id3" and installed it. Still no luck getting this annoying notice to go away. It pops up every time I start Rhythmbox. [01:53] R-learner, is the machine your trying to SVN to an Active Directory machine ? [01:53] Is there any way to get that notice to go away? [01:54] pZombie, Well, System >> Statup Disk Creator, that's all there is too it. [01:54] there is no usb-creator.exe on the 10.4 server ISO [01:54] you assume i already have a ubuntu system installed, right? [01:55] pZombie, then you select the ISO, and the USB Key and go, that's it, no magic to it. [01:55] pZombie, Use the Live CD from a System that you Can connect to the Inet too / with, and download the ISO image and do the same. [01:56] pZombie: since you're less than forthcoming of all the information.. if you're using windows then use 'unetbootin' [01:57] i think i understand now where all the confusion came from [01:57] you were assuming i am very experienecd with ubuntu and that i already have it installed [01:57] !ubuntu | pZombie [01:58] pZombie: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[02:01] or Yes, VMware / VirtualBox ose [02:01] pZombie: ok, and just to be clear, this system has no support for booting via USB in the bios right? [02:01] because virtualbox does not allow to install 32bit or 64bit drivers. it uses emulated drivers [02:01] ? [02:01] trut1e - yes, it does. it actually boots grub4dos, the menu [02:02] but grub4dos, while it can run some ISOs, is not a substitute for a read CDrom booting sequence [02:02] it works only up until some point, for some indepth reason i only partly understood [02:02] has something to do with int13 [02:02] LintWad: pastebin [02:02] pZombie, the Install a Dual Boot Native System. [02:02] ilovefairuz, the error report? [02:02] LintWad: yes [02:03] dual boot means that i have to boot every OS [02:03] i want xen so all OSes run parallel [02:03] pZombie: Low Level Virtualization can be very tricky. Have you already asked the guys over at #ubuntu-server? [02:03] !enter | pZombie [02:03] pZombie: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:03] pZombie: wait, if you have a bios option that you can set the boot order to USB first I don't understand why you are using grub4dos [02:03] pZombie, Pass, can't help with that., [02:04] LibertyZero - No need yet. First i need to get the server installed on this PC without cdrom [02:04] ivarson: I had to reboot. and it still came up as 1024x768 [02:04] ilovefairuz, I'm somewhat new to dealing with these problems. I seem to be having trouble getting the error report to output. [02:05] turt1e, it's a paravirtual enviroment. [02:05] Let me try something real quick. [02:05] hey in ubuntu how do i reload postgres? [02:06] turtl1e - i was using it because it allows me to install a lot of other ISOs. Just ubuntu server fails at some point using it [02:06] LintWad: open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source === zeeek is now known as Guest41541 [02:06] I am having USB speed issues with a fresh install of 10.04 Getting about 800kbps.

[02:09] ilovefairuz: thanks! is udev responsibile for the task of automounting usb drives, or is it gvfs or something? [02:09] BeeBuu: use gnome-system-monitor for htop in terminal [02:10] SaladCopper: udev + udisks [02:10] ilovefairuz: i had run htop [02:10] ilovefairuz: thank you! [02:10] but i can't see more msg.. [02:11] ke1ha - i am completely clueless what awaits me. vmware esxi didn t work at all. all i got was a screen telling me that my network card was not compatible, and no option to install guest OSes [02:11] BeeBuu: what "message" are you looking for? [02:11] can i use vnc or other to view the current desktop? i dont want to start another x session i want to use the same one running in my monitor === tyler is now known as Guest2813 [02:11] what's the keyboard shortcut for creating a symbolic link? I remember you have to hold something down whilst dragging the folder to it's location [02:12] pZombie, I dont work in parallel environments, I've never needed that. VM-ESX may halp but have no idea really. [02:12] ilovefairuz: for example, stack size [02:12] where i can get that? [02:12] does anyone know of a media library for video? I want to be able to tag my movie files by director and genre and be able to sort/browse them by such tags. :) adding movie poster/cover art would be awesome to :D [02:13] i need paravirtualization for dummies, so i don t bother with something as unintuitive like vmware esxi [02:13] I use guayadeque for music and calibre for books. just need something for all my videos! === Guest2813 is now known as Mike2 [02:13] what's the keyboard shortcut for creating a symbolic link? I remember you have to hold something down whilst dragging the folder to it's location [02:13] I suggest the #ubuntu-server channel :-) [02:13] what i imagine is me installing xen, then get a menu which OSes i want to install, and then be able to switch between them in an easy manner [02:14] i will go there once i got server installed [02:14] Mike2: ln -s [02:14] BeeBuu: /proc/$PID/ has all that's there to know about a process [02:14] anyway, thanks for the help.. got to reboot now, unetbootin is done - bbl [02:15] does anyone in here have 10.04 installed on and acer aspire one netbook, that's gotten microphone/video working? [02:15] with skype ( sorry ) [02:15] !anyone [02:15] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:15] ilovefairuz: thanks, let me check that. tons of thanks to you. [02:16] xangua, that was my question.... video/microphone does not work with skype... [02:16] can someone point me to the solution to remote desktop access viewing the current running x session...i dont want to start new x session like vnc doing [02:16] xangua: i suggest you use !details, it's a lot easier to understand [02:17] Tac_Home: have you check the input table in sound preferences? [02:17] hi i need help when i get install update from update manager and when remove a program get a masseage say package operation failed [02:18] ilovefairuz: any document about that /proc/$PID/stack ? i don't know what the mean about the context in it [02:18] How do I do something with sudo on a live CD? What's the password? [02:19] edbian: sudo passwd root [02:19] and put your own root passwd [02:19] BeeBuu: there are some tools to analyze the whole directory, let me try to find a link [02:21] edbian: no root password or sudo password needed for livecd [02:21] ilovefairuz, I noticed :) [02:21] ilovefaiuz: thanks, you are so kind [02:21] i need help with my cron. [02:22] i made a cron to run in intervals in ubuntu 8 [02:22] no im upgraded to 10.04 lts and cannot get crontab -e to work [02:22] Hi [02:22] i'm having some problems to setup OpenLdap [02:22] it just returns a nuber [02:22] pinPoint: try sudo crontab -e [02:22] on ubuntu 10.04 [02:23] anyone can help me [02:23] ?? [02:23] Blue1: it returns 868 [02:23] !details | geekaia, all on one line [02:23] geekaia, all on one line: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [02:23] If I want to install software from the repos on the live CD do I have to do anything special? [02:23] pinPoint: when you do a sudo crontab -e ? [02:23] Blue1: no crontab for root - using an empty one [02:23] 29 [02:24] pinPoint: hmm dunno -- it works priv/unpriv for me. [02:24] BeeBuu: would this help? http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/understanding-proc_82.html [02:24] ilovefairuz, sorry .... so anyways video / microphone work outside of skype.... but skype doesn't pick up either... I do test call, and get nothing, and when I click test video, the little video box hangs.. [02:24] ilovefairuz, i test microphone with sound recorder, and video with cheese [02:25] hello there, ubuntu newbie here, can anyone tell me what's the shortcut to show desktop? like WINDOWS+D in windows? [02:25] Tac_Home: I remember in Skype there being an option for selecting which hardware device to use for outputing audio, mic, etc... did you see that by chance? [02:25] turt1e - amazing, how easy unetbootin worked. it works [02:25] hi i need help when i get install update from update manager and when remove a program get a masseage say package operation failed [02:26] Do you know any tutorial that implements OpenLdap and Samba on Ubuntu 10.04 ?? [02:26] gsergiu, ctrl+alt+D [02:26] gsergiu: ctrl + alt + d [02:27] Is it necessary to upgrade to 10.4.1 if I'm already using 10.4? [02:27] hello everyone [02:27] Oph5pr1n6: no [02:27] Oph5pr1n6: 10.04.1 = 10.04 + the routine updates you should have been getting already [02:27] turt1e - of course it killed my original MBR booting grub4dos, but that can be fixed easy later. i have one more question however if you happen to know. is what unetbootin does with one ISO, possible with many ISOs, so i can pick which ISO to install, or do i have to use unetbootin everytime i want to install a different ISO without the CD? [02:27] Blue1: i made a cron file a while back on 8 [02:27] pZombie: very cool, glad you got that resolved. and I'll have to file unetbootin away for future use. Hadn't seen that one before [02:28] turt1e: let me see [02:28] thanis, also in pidgin can anyone tell me how to reconnect to you yahoo after going offline? there's no "Connect" button http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/9404/screenshotcm.png [02:28] Blue1: now I am getting emails set from my script. all over sudden. There is a .sh tied to cron somewhere that updates my IP [02:28] Okay Thanks! [02:28] thanks* and its empathy not pidgin, im sorry its late [02:28] Blue1: how do I look into that crob job? [02:28] gsergiu: that's not pidgin [02:28] turt1e, there are only options for pulse audio for the sound prefs, and WebCam ( /dev/video0 ) for video.. no other options [02:28] I know I rectified :D [02:28] pZombie: I've never used unetbootin before [02:29] what is unetbootin? [02:29] gsergiu: just clic in the indicator session aplet and set your status online [02:29] pinPoint: easeast way is just to edit the file: crontab -e or sudo crontab -e [02:29] Blue1: i just returns 868 [02:29] what does that mean [02:29] it* [02:29] pinPoint: don't know you'd have to google that one - [02:29] itsux2bu - it s a program i used in windows to get ubuntu 10.4 server onto my usb HDD and make it bootable, so i can install without a CD rom drive [02:30] can't [02:30] it's greyed out [02:30] itsux2bu, easier to read than explain: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [02:30] hello [02:30] it extracts the ISO and creates the right MBR on a usb stick/hdd [02:30] i want to ask [02:30] how to reload a service samba in ubuntu 10.04 [02:31] gsergiu: how about in the empathy window¿ [02:31] xangua: I can't find a connect button in the empathy window [02:32] xangua: i must say this new default messenger is a piece of garbage, and if I uninstall it I'll have right upper icon with the message icon just laying around useless [02:32] gsergiu: clic where it says 'offline' [02:32] KE1HA, does it just turn a usb drive into an install drive? [02:32] mhzdyr, sudo service smdb restart [02:32] Tac_Home: so the drop down menus in those device sections only give you one option, or does it present multiple to choose from. If so have you gone down the list trying each available device? [02:32] KE1HA thank you [02:32] turt1e, no, just one option for everything [02:32] * kakoi away: [bt] horario: 22:32 [02:33] ubottu: away > kakoi [02:33] kakoi, please see my private message [02:33] itsux2bu, is can do either I believe, LiveUSB ot install to the HD === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat [02:33] xangua: works xangua, do you have any clue why I can't select my status from the indicator session? [02:34] gsergiu: looks like when you put 'offline' in the indicator session you can't change it back, happens the same to me with pidgin [02:34] Tac_Home: hmmm... then if your devices work ok outside of Skype then it most likely is a skype issue. and because it's proprietary it's tuff getting issues like these resolved [02:34] turt1e, it's funny because the only reason I'm trying to get skype working, is because google doesn't support video chat in gmail for linux, and I figured this would work :-p [02:34] xangua: i'm "invisible" right now but still can't change it [02:35] turt1e, I didn't expect much 'support' for those very reasons... I was more or less hoping someone else had run into a similar issue [02:36] can images be erased from dvd rw? [02:36] Tac_Home: what version ubuntu are you running again? [02:37] 10.04, netbook remix [02:38] Tac_Home: Sorry, I missed your question, what was it again? [02:38] hit to all [02:38] h00k video/mic don't work in skype, but work in sound recorder/cheese [02:39] i need help when i get install update from update manager and when remove a program get a masseage say package operation failed [02:39] zus: not particular files, all the disk at once [02:39] seriously i cant get braserio or k3b to erase a dvd rw [02:39] I have a 3G usb cellular modem. I installed wvdial but now I need to edit the Isp info. how do I do this??? [02:39] Tac_Home: Ah, I'm not sure then, I know it works on my netbook in both places. Ensure the sound settings are set to PulseAudio [02:39] after i reload smbd with #service smbd restart...the result is smbd start/running, process 6260. Is that right result? [02:39] Tac_Home: incoming/outgoing/ring [02:40] h00k, they are, they are the only options as well [02:40] ToStItOs, if no one knows here right at this moment try the ##linux channel [02:40] h00k, sound works, mic doesn't [02:40] where can I get evolution express which should be in 10.10 netbook? [02:40] zus: wodim blank=fast [02:40] mhzdyr, looks ok to me. [02:40] dclake: just launch: evolution -express or something like that [02:40] Tac_Home: if you have the capability of booting into a liveCD/USB then you may try 9.10 and install skype in a live session and see if it works on a downgraded version of ubuntu [02:41] ilovefairuz, keeps asking for blank media.. i'd have blank media if it only did what i want whats wodim? [02:41] do I do that from terminal? [02:41] turt1e, I don't have the usb here, it's in the office, but I could do that at some point [02:41] zus: a shell command, open a terminal and type it [02:41] Tac_Home: I have skype installed here on 10.04 (64 bit) seems okay - and it works on my netbook (32 bit) [02:42] does anyone know if recent motherboards have an "intel trng" or similar hardware random number generator included? [02:42] dclake: evolution --express ; only works with evolution 2.30, i have 2.28 in lucid [02:42] Tac_Home: I had to do that for my sister's Acer, skype would only work on 8.10, but not 9.04 if I remember correctly [02:42] pZombie: not that I know of - realise that random number generation is really pseudo random numbers [02:42] it tells me it does not recognise the comand [02:42] Blue1, which netbook? I have an acer aspire one [02:42] how to configuration for sharing printer in smb.conf? [02:42] Tac_Home: that's what I have [02:43] Blue1, 250? [02:43] Tac_Home: yes [02:43] blue1 - not if it is done via an intel trng which some motherboards have. i am trying to check if mine has one, which i doubt [02:43] Tac_Home: with 2 gig/ram [02:43] Blue1, did you install skype via synaptic? [02:43] mhzdyr: i thought it was conigured that way by default. [02:43] Tac_Home: negative [02:44] wait, maybe i didn't either... I think I tried but it wasn't in there [02:44] maybe I'll try re-installing :-/ [02:44] ok [02:44] ilovefairuz, well tried it wont work its aborting,... im out of a dvd rw... [02:44] Tac_Home: yeha I just grabbed it off their site and installed it...the 64 bit one is an alpha iirc but seems to work fine [02:44] is evolution 2.30 available? [02:44] pZombie, that would be an Intel HW questoin, not a UB general support question. [02:44] Dr_Willis, succesful? [02:44] mhzdyr: uncomment the proper lines that have ; at the front. remove the ; (thats a comment character like #) [02:44] Tac_Home: I hope it's that simple for you! ;) [02:44] How do I edit the isp info in wvdial??? [02:45] think I found something on it [02:45] mhzdyr: ive shared printers befor with minimal effort. Cups does most of the work. I got a networked printer now. no pc needed. so havent used cups/samba for a printer share in 9+ Mo. [02:45] ToStItOs: wow I haven't used dailup in about a decade pretty rusty... [02:45] ke1ha - the UB question was going to follow once i found out if i have such hardware, but you are right [02:45] ToStItOs, gedit wvdial.conf ? [02:45] zus: if you don't have a dvd rw disk in the dvd drive, then what were you trying to erase? [02:45] dclake: you can try a PPA under your own risk and safetely remove it woth ppa-purge; first, do you have ppa-purge¿ [02:45] mhzdyr: the default print$ share I Thought handled it all [02:45] ToStItOs, http://linux.die.net/man/1/wvdial [02:45] no [02:46] Hey does anyone know the help section of Ubuntu IRC? [02:46] i forgot the name [02:46] ilovefairuz, the disc is in the drive, of course,.. [02:46] Blue1, I am actually using a 3G usb broadband modem [02:46] ToStItOs, http://linux.die.net/man/5/wvdial.conf [02:46] where do i get the ppa-purge and what does it do? [02:46] ilovefairuz, im trying to erase an old LinuxMint image so i can have a blank dvd... [02:46] I have to use wvdial to get it to recognized [02:46] ToStItOs, @ for username, and then typically for password, and number #777 [02:46] is it a CD-R? [02:47] dvd-RW [02:47] wont work [02:47] + [02:47] they cant rewrite [02:47] ToStItOs: well wvdial, iirc is for dailup [02:47] * sticky hears a wood duck outside [02:47] sticky a question what if I do not have user name and password and I just have a phone number???? [02:47] not sure whu but yeah [02:47] Blue1, what do you think 3g modems are.... [02:48] ToStItOs, yes...read what I said [02:48] sticky: I dunno, I don't have one.... [02:48] i know dvd and cd "R" cant but why wont a "RW" not be formatted? [02:48] Blue1, cell modems == dialup modems that are way faster [02:48] sticky: ahh [02:48] sticky: but the question is....in the world of broadband.....nvm [02:48] sticky thanks a lot [02:49] zus: is the disk rw? [02:49] ToStItOs, no problem [02:49] okay, quick question that nobody else could answer :P [02:49] Blue1, what's your question? [02:49] so im installing gcc 4.5.1 from source, could i remove the 4.4.3 that came with ubuntu? [02:49] ilovefairuz, dvd+RW yeah [02:49] sticky: why dialup in a broadband world? [02:49] Blue1, because that's how it works [02:49] (i cant though the normal channels as its a dependency of a lot of stuff :P) [02:49] zus: what happens when you run: wodim blank=fast [02:49] sticky: I have a plain jane cell phone - so...... [02:50] Blue1, BB availability, not always an option. [02:50] Blue1, even that phone would call #777 if it was to access the net [02:50] is different between content smb.conf before ubuntu 10.04? [02:50] sticky: it's so plain jane, that even lipstick wouldn't make it look like a pig [02:50] ilovefairuz, one sec [02:50] had to install gedit [02:50] ToStItOs, here's an old guide that I found on google. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=235630 [02:51] ToStItOs, gedit/nano/pico/vi/vim/kedit, any of them would work [02:51] segaloco: are you using --prefix ;? [02:51] ilovefairuz, i got Errno: 5 (Input/output error), blank unit scsi sendcmd: no error, [02:51] KE1HA: DE ka5fve - -thanks didn't know that....I guess unlike at&t that bp oil slick is guarenteed to cover everyone. ;-) [02:51] its in /usr/local (id do just /usr and overwrite... but can you overwrite the compiler with the compiler???) [02:52] and package management would probably start acting weird then :X [02:52] Does anyone ever use the asynchronous mode for samba? I tried it but failed. [02:52] Indeed :-) [02:52] * sticky moves away from #ubuntu [02:52] I've been helpful enough [02:52] ilovefairuz, before that it detected the disc and tried to erase but then it stops and aborts [02:52] ToStItOs, if you need more help just /msg me [02:52] I rebuilt the samba with "--with-aio-support" and add "aio read size=1" the smb.conf, but the requests seems still synchronous. [02:52] I will in a sec [02:53] segaloco: if you're using --prefix then no problemo, else be careful [02:53] zus: looks like the disk is busted [02:53] yuehai: the article pointed to here: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=309 might help - YMMV applies [02:53] ah, well still, wont it mess with package management either way, its expecting 4.4.3-ubuntu or whatever, and im putting 4.5.1 in its place :X [02:53] Hello #ubuntu! I have one quick question: What do you think is the best Ubuntu compatible wireless card? [02:54] cheese1756: i use a linksys WUSB100v2 and it gets me by :P [02:54] cheese1756: one that works [02:54] anything with ralink chips in it [02:54] bcm is .. tricky [02:54] Blue1: My criteria is that it works well [02:54] so is atheros [02:54] cheese1756: intel stuff usually works fine [02:54] Blue1, thanks! [02:54] ilovefairuz, it cant be, i used it to make the image file... however never ever had i needed to re-use a disc before [02:54] Thanks, I'll look both of those up [02:54] my best experience have been WUSB54GC and WUSB100v2 ;) both ralink [02:55] my worst experience (not even working) was WUSB54GSCv2 <_< [02:55] i had problems with atheroes in 9.10 on my netbook, had to backport - fixed in 10.04 [02:55] and that was b43 or something [02:55] zus: why not, could be bad media [02:55] dang tests on gcc take forever :P [02:56] ilovefairuz, true, my maxwelldvd+RW werent even detected and they're new [02:56] so while im messing with gcc, whats everyone else up to in ubuntu land :P [02:57] Why my display desktop of Ubuntu 10.04 is wrong and all icons of my up taskbar are always moving at each start or restart ? [02:57] segaloco: I spent 2 hours yesterday getting automount to work [02:57] ah, i had automount screwed up for about a month [02:57] I am using an LCD monitor. [02:57] the culprit, a second install of glib i did myself :P [02:57] ilovefairuz, but would it then only burn and image boot up into mint and then decided its bad media on re-write? [02:57] turns out glib doesnt play nice with other versions still installed [02:57] hi guys i have a computer with ubuntu on the whole harddrive id like to shrink the partion and install windows xp on half of it how could i install the boot loader and shrink the partion with out wiping out my ubuntu partion [02:58] segaloco: tis easy, once you look at /var/messages and realise that notail is an invalid option for ext4 [02:58] Does anyone know any good PCI Ubuntu compatible wireless cards? [02:58] Why my display desktop of Ubuntu 10.04 is wrong and all icons of my up taskbar are always moving at each start or restart ? [02:58] I am using an LCD monitor.

[02:59] :( [02:59] Xuzz: how can we help get you there? [02:59] Anyone ? [02:59] Xuzz: start with wubi [02:59] only closed source thing i use is the nvidia graphics driver :P [02:59] Blue1: I'm on osx. [02:59] Xuzz: linux running under windows [02:59] Xuzz: my bad [02:59] I don't use Windows. [02:59] :P [02:59] I did mess with it in a VM, and it worked reasonably well there. [03:00] It is a NDIVIA card. === _james is now known as JamesVoss [03:00] Xuzz: is dual boot an option for the mac? [03:00] but when i installed it, i had to go steal my wifi card out of my laptop to be able to get internet [03:00] ilovefairuz, i got one of them +/- tscorp dvd burnners worked well on my cd's but dvd's [03:00] man, the gcc checks are taking a toll on my performance Dx [03:00] Blue1: It is: I'm fine with Linux usage, it's just getting it setup is the issue, [03:00] My iPhone didn't work correctly to let me sync once I finally got online. [03:00] zus: i have one and works fine with dvds [03:00] Blue1: Yes, it's called Boot Camp [03:01] is update important? [03:01] Why my display desktop of Ubuntu 10.04 is wrong and all icons of my up taskbar are always moving at each start or restart ? [03:01] And just a bunch of other small, "not working" things. [03:01] I am using an LCD monitor. [03:01] It is a NDIVIA card. [03:01] Blue1: It's made for dual booting Windows but it works perfectly well with Ubuntu [03:01] Of course, I might just not know how to make them work, but shouldn't Ubuntu just work out of the (proverbial) box? [03:01] well, worst case scenario you could try to install more gnu and open source stuff on mac os x :P [03:01] Xuzz: not always [03:01] segaloco: :( [03:02] BiggFREE: once you get things set up... try System/Preferences/Startup Applications/Options/Remember currently running application (check mark) [03:02] although it is one of the simplest linuxes to set up [03:02] im sure it can be done, in fact, i know it can be done [03:02] my friend with a mac had ubuntu set up [03:02] i just cant remember how he did it... [03:02] * kakoi voltou: [off] duração: 29mins 42secs [03:02] its something with the EFI, choosing boot devices is... different [03:02] Xuzz: Most of the time it works out of the box, there is a mac compatibility list out there somewhere [03:02] BiggFREE: click on I mean... [03:02] Thanks a lot ... Blue1 [03:03] BiggFREE: hope that helps... [03:03] I find it sad that my computer here (random PC) worked easier with getting OSX working (not even allowed via EULA!) than getting Ubuntu up to the same level :( [03:03] simple is too boring for me though >:D [03:03] thats why im replacing a ton of the major system components from source [03:03] I will try [03:03] okay, my liveCD session is totally hosed, I just hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and got a box full of [] [] [] . I clicked the first one, what did I pick? [03:04] what version? [03:04] 10.04 [03:04] shutdown if its the same as mine [03:04] then again ive replaced so much from source its not even right to call it ubuntu anymore :P [03:04] it's definitely not going quietly... [03:04] Xuzz: it's a free country down here, feel free to try other distros and see what works well for you [03:05] :D first build test is successful on gcc [03:05] speaking of distros and whatnot, ive always wondered, could lfs be built from mac os x? or does it have to be a linux kernel [03:06] segaloco: I always thought mac was bsd based.... [03:06] I pledge allegiance to the Ubuntu of the united countries of the world. And to the freedom for which it stands, One user under no one, with liberty and computing freedom for all! [03:06] yeah, sorta :P [03:06] bsd isnt linux though, its bsd xD [03:06] pgpkeys: I pledge no allegiance to Mark Shuttleworh [03:06] segaloco: has to be a linux based host, though it's offtopic [03:07] :P === blet is now known as bleter [03:07] ilovefairuz: Are others more "otb" than Ubuntu? [03:07] Xuzz: in my experience, ubuntu is one of the simplest to set up and use [03:07] Blue1: Mac is unix based [03:07] then theres fedora, a pain in the butt === bleter is now known as blet [03:07] cheese1756: unix like doesnt necessarily mean linux [03:07] so glad I don't work for redhat anymore. [03:07] and bsd is a unix-like kernel too :P [03:07] segaloco: ok, if ubuntu is too hard for me, I'm staying away from linux then :/ [03:07] Hey all! I wanna know...the best free way to play games of windows (like starcraft) on ubuntu :B [03:08] pgpkeys: How is redhat? I've never tried it. [03:08] rpm was killin me. give me dpkg/apt any day (native, not alien) [03:08] nah, its just your mac, theres a way to do it, i know it [03:08] cheese1756: OS X is Darwin based, not BSD based [03:08] Xuzz: some strive to be an OTB experience (regardless of how does it compare to ubuntu, could do better at things and worest at others) try fedora or opensuse [03:08] macs are different from pc's in system setup [03:08] I cut my teeth os SuSE but 11.0 was so bad... [03:08] ilovefairuz: ok [03:08] syn-ack: darwin is bsd based :P [03:08] cheese1756 ~ solid distribution, until you start making RPms or trying to resolve RPM dependencies [03:08] segaloco: this is a PC [03:08] segaloco: (just happens to be running OSX) [03:08] in that sense yes [03:08] ... [03:08] segaloco: not completely [03:08] is there anything BSD cna do which linux cannot and vice versa? [03:08] oh, you running osx86 or something? [03:08] segaloco: yeah [03:08] segaloco: it's got a mach kernel [03:08] .... [03:09] pgpkeys: The only thing I don't like about it is that it's paid. Doesn't that defeat the point of Linux? [03:09] then it uses BIOS and not EFI, it should be simple to set up compared to osx86, that's a nightmare @_@ [03:09] osx uses a hybrid of freebsd and mach [03:09] an insane hybrid, IMO, but meh [03:09] syn-ack: yeah, i was about to say that, busy talking to Xuzz dX [03:09] uhh no not really [03:09] but yeah, Xuzz: just get the iso, burn it, and pop it in [03:09] should work [03:09] you're paying for the support and additional addons they've written from scratch that are not released to the general public if you so desired they were written [03:09] segaloco: if my wifi works... that'd be awesome [03:09] BIOS is much easier to work with than EFI (well i dunno, its just what most are more familiar with) [03:10] segaloco: because i had to use some ndiswrapper crap last time [03:10] meh [03:10] what card do you have? [03:10] I love my EFI [03:10] (the bcm43xx website says mine is not supported) [03:10] I keep hearing that, wth is EFI? [03:10] oh [03:10] bcm4353 [03:10] yeah, bcm43xx is a tough cookie [03:10] :/ i dunno what to say then [03:10] mawst: it's a BIOS replacement [03:10] how do i reinstall a program via apt-get? [03:10] its not a matter of the distro, its a matter of whatever the current kernel has in its driver pool [03:11] segaloco: weirdly, every computer in my house (all 5) have bcm43xx cards :( [03:11] Ddorda: like if you removed it or something? [03:11] owch [03:11] which the mac natively supports :/ [03:11] hmm [03:11] Ddorda: depends - normally you'd remove it, then install it again - then there's the purge option which is akin to kill [03:11] segaloco: no. to reinsatll [03:11] Ddorda: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagenamehere [03:11] rww: thanks :) [03:11] well, i dunno, a friend of mine has this same problem (a different chip, but still bcm43xx) [03:11] rww: I've had problems with that why I nuke first [03:11] bcm43xx is just a nasty family to use compared with ralink cards and the such [03:12] * syn-ack kisses is ath5k [03:12] s/is/his [03:12] lol [03:12] i want to write my own OS [03:12] hi [03:12] Rule #1 when shopping for new hardware. ALWAYS check the HCL [03:12] ath9k here [03:12] yeah [03:13] on the Ubuntu download site, next to the 64 bit version it says: Not recommended for daily desktop usage .. all patronizing aside, can someone elaborate what this really means? Is it simply considered to be "not completely stable"? [03:13] well, due to the legacy of 32bit [03:13] a lot of stuff has some stuff that makes it ... kinda yucky on 64bit [03:13] doctorZeus: more to do with people not knowing whether they have 32 or 64 but figuring big number = better and downloading something incompatible [03:13] doctorZeus: I use the 64 bit version for daily use [03:13] doctorZeus: well, OS wise, it's completely stable, but you may run into some things not working(right) on 64 bit [03:13] not sure. I run a 64bit every day [03:13] that too :p [03:14] hello all! [03:14] doctorZeus: meanwhile 64bit machines can run 32bit [03:14] or are just a pain in the butt to get working [03:14] 64bit for me though ;) [03:14] the world is moving to 64bit [03:14] i had a dual boot of ubuntu 9 and win7. I had to reinstall win7 and now I'm not seeing the grub. Any ideas? [03:14] there is just a handful of software that doesnt work with 64bit [03:14] doctorZeus: there's also not a native flash player for 64bit currently, but the ubuntu packages are made to workaround that anyway so in practice it ends up not mattering [03:14] doctorZeus: however, the 32 bit flash shipped with the 64 bit firefox, makes it quite unstable [03:14] And considering that Adobe pulled their 64 bit flashplayer, you get really REALLY crappy flash support in 64 bit linux [03:14] (although in ubuntu at least you can install 32bit libraries and run 32bit software anyway :P) [03:14] maco++ [03:14] segaloco: yes but I have a copy on my ftp [03:15] syn-ack: got it before they pulled it :P [03:15] the world has to moev to 64bit. 32bit has already been marked as legacy, manufacturers and software companies are rewriting for 64bit system or writing from scratch for them.. [03:15] pretty soon we'll probably end up having the first 128 bit machine released :) [03:15] I just heard the christening hum of a new rig I just put together and was going to put 64 on there .. thanks for all the responses [03:15] segaloco: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=161 [03:15] speaking of 32bit vs 64bit, i havent checked in forever [03:15] is wine 64bit native yet? [03:15] Really though, 64 bit is alright if you have a need for. Heck I have 64 bit machine and I'm running Ubuntu 32 bit for the time being [03:16] cool [03:16] segaloco: they do have a 64 bit version, yes [03:16] no 32bit deps in any way? [03:16] 32bit is simply too little for the memory demands some new software requires [03:16] Does anyone have any experience with the TP-LINK TL-WN321G wireless adapter? [03:16] good [03:16] you run into tons of problems coding in 32bit [03:16] Or anything TP-Link? [03:16] because of memory issues [03:16] segaloco: i forced installed lightscribe (32 bit app) and installed the ia32 libs [03:16] Blue1: My computer cannot remember the resolution settings after a start or a restart, [03:16] ah [03:16] pzombie ~ due to the 4GB limit, sure [03:16] sam555, http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [03:17] BiggFREE: that's an X issue - and that's not my forte' unfortunately.... [03:17] Blue1: It is my main problem now. [03:17] Oer: shoot, speaking of windows and grub and whatnot [03:17] mines kinda backwards, my windows install is still there, but its lost its ... osness? i guess [03:17] i also run 64bit as my main OS, and have no issues with it whatsoever [03:17] BiggFREE: we can check a couple of things [03:17] NOTHING recognises it as a system disc [03:17] ok [03:17] BiggFREE: what country are you located in? [03:17] Oer: thanks! [03:17] CANADA [03:17] no grub autoconfigure stuff, ubuntu doesnt request a password before mounting, etc.... [03:17] If a driver is supported in Kubuntu, will it work in Ubuntu? [03:17] but all the files are still on the hard drive, untouched, is there a way to save it :/ [03:17] charmer: I really didn't either. Just didn't feel like futzing with the 32 bit only software I install and making it work [03:17] its just the progression of computing. another 50 years and we 8will* have 128 bit or greater systems [03:18] BiggFREE: okay let's check the refresh rate... [03:18] i want to have my 10.04 system boot to 1400x900. It boots to 1024x768 not matter what I try to configure. can someone help? [03:18] cheese1756: yes [03:18] 60 [03:18] hmm [03:18] cheasee: drivers are kernel thing so yeah [03:18] syn-ack: Thanks. I've now found a good wireless card. [03:18] BiggFREE: are you using any hardware drivers? [03:18] johnjohn101: like... what do you mean, the desktop resolution, or the usplash/vterminals [03:18] I do not [03:18] cheese1756 ~ kubuntu is ubuntu with KDE for the desktop environment rather than gnome which is the default in ubuntu [03:18] segaloco, the desktop resolution [03:19] okay, what video driver do you use? [03:19] johnjohn101: it used to be done with a vga= parameter in the grub boot line, but I don't know now with grub2 [03:19] It is not a LCD PnP Monitor [03:19] i use nvdia [03:19] cheasee: for best case man, I always suggest an Atheros based card. Preferably something that uses the ath5k driver [03:19] BiggFREE: do: lspci | grep VGA [03:19] Hello guys. I got /boot on a seperate partition (around 100 MB,) now when I want to update newer kernels it tells me no space. So I went on and deleted older kernels and what not. "ls -lh" tells me /boot is still almost full, but in reality there no files that total up to more than 20 MB any ideas? [03:19] BiggFREE: and post the line here [03:19] ah, i know that problem, just set the res to 1400x900 in the nvidia settings [03:19] then.... lemme try and remember [03:19] segaloco, I've done that a zillion times [03:19] My eyes are really bad tonight. [03:19] wait wait im not done :| [03:20] and have have it save to xorg.conf [03:20] then open up the regular monitor setting [03:20] click no when it asks do you want to use yoru vendors tool [03:20] rtaibah: 100 meg is too small for just about anything except maybe server [03:20] and click apply in that window [03:20] syn-ack: i have only run across a single package that i couldnt get via the repos, and just found a 64-bit package for it on the dev's site. [03:20] hi all. I just bought a laptop and its running Windows 7. Obviously I wanna get rid of Windows 7. However, when I booted up the live CD the touchpad wasn't working properly. Any advice? I'm on a lenovo Ideapad Z560 if that helps. [03:20] if that doesnt fix it then its a different problem altogether [03:20] then for a quick test [03:20] ctrl+alt+f1 [03:20] segaloco, where is that monitors screen? [03:20] charmer: I run a lot of *gasp* closed source stuff [03:20] sudo service gdm restart [03:20] Blue1 100mb works fine for a couple of kernels (2-3) [03:21] johnjohn101 system->preferences->monitors [03:21] rtaibah: YMMV I guess... [03:21] segaloco, i got it brb [03:21] k [03:21] you might be running into the reserve limit of the fs for root [03:21] use tune2fs to change the reserved amount. [03:21] -m iirc [03:21] rtaibah: I installed ubuntu server and the best I could do, was to get it down to like 500 meg [03:21] don't drop below 3% === |_ocke is now known as |_OCKE [03:22] Chowder: is the touchpad working at all, or just some of the features like scrolling not working? [03:22] Blue1 I don't know why I chose to put /boot on a different partition, I guess it was just something I picked up from Gentoo [03:22] dang, its been like an our since i started the make check-gcc on this.... [03:23] BiggFREE: are you there? [03:23] turt1e, its pretty much not working at all. I move my finger around on the touchpad and the cursor moves like a minute alter [03:23] *later [03:23] anything? [03:23] segaloco, that fixed it [03:23] good :D [03:23] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3) [03:23] manado1952@SERVEROLD:~$ [03:23] Blue1 Anyways, any ideas why its full? I mean just going through the files they could never add up to 90mb. 3 under 10 mb, the rest are in kb's [03:23] wow, I've been struggling with it for months and months [03:24] rtaibah: sorry beyond my experience level [03:24] rtaibah ~ reread what i said\ [03:24] Did you read my post ? ... Blue1 [03:24] nv18 [03:24] johnjohn101: its because nvidia doesnt work with xorg.conf correctly or something [03:24] using the builtin configuration writes it correctly [03:25] segaloco, doesn't the latest xorg not use the config? [03:25] pgpkeys, run tune2fs?

[03:25] yes yes yes [03:25] johnjohn, yeah [03:25] their nvidia unix drivers page [03:25] just download the driver [03:25] man tune2fs for more details. look at the -m switch [03:25] put it... wherever [03:25] ctrl+alt+f1 [03:25] sudo service gdm stop [03:26] then sh [03:26] and follow the directions [03:26] ok i can do that [03:26] and again, do not drop below 3% on the reserved space [03:26] you might need to chmod a+x it though [03:26] anyways.. cig break [03:26] pgpkeys 10%? [03:26] no, default is 5% [03:26] segaloco easy way is download the nvidia driver tru system > hardwaredrivers [03:27] will I see any difference if I load freetype 2.4 on 10.04? [03:27] its not up to date though [03:27] BiggFREE: can you do this, then pastebin the results: grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:27] hardwaredrivers has .. 192.x i think, the latest is 256.x or something [03:27] OK [03:27] hello... I have a clean install of ubuntu 10.04. everything installed ok, but the generic SVGA driver was a little glitchy w/ my 64MB ATI agp 9200 card. so, I upgrade via pkg manager to the incld. ATI drivers. Big improvement. But, now my fav screensaver glMATRIX doesn't work? Am I missing some 3D lib? What do I need to configure? TIA. [03:27] yeah, 256.44 is the latest [03:28] so why are the 256.44 drivers not in a repo somewhere? [03:28] just new is all [03:28] tehuff ~ naa, the ati cards goof with the screensavers that are gl based. even with the fglrx kernel mod installed [03:28] ati's implementation of opengl is probably to blame [03:28] yeah, what pgp there said :v [03:28] anything I can do? [03:28] do u think they will ship with 10.10? [03:29] no clue [03:29] i dont care what ubuntu ships with though, if i dont like it i grab the source and install the latest :P [03:29] (or binary distribution on closed source stuff) [03:29] like im doing with gcc right now :P [03:29] only thing I dont like about that is that it doesn't show up in package mgmt [03:29] gcc is a bit out of date :P [03:29] i'd do the same, i just hate having to pin everything [03:29] bummer... luv that MATRIX screensaver :( [03:30] sort of defeatts the purpose of the pkg system :) [03:30] johnjohn: yeah, i just ignore package managements existence [03:30] tehuff: i know, i use that one too :P [03:30] thx all === |_OCKE is now known as |_ocke [03:30] what card segaloco? [03:30] nvidia :P [03:30] yeah i use that damn triangle that bounces around the screen since the matrix one doesn't work with this ati card [03:30] BiggFree: isn't the issue you are having the exact same thing that johnjohn101 just resolved? [03:30] ati is ... funky [03:30] this is an 8800 or some such. i forget [03:31] hp laptop [03:31] i'm never going back to suse [03:31] turt1e: that's why I am trying to see what driver he's using... [03:31] pgpkeys, how would the syntax be? tune2fs -m 3? Sorry this is all new to me [03:31] pffft, why would you :p [03:31] pgpkeys: hp uses ati??? every hp machine ive seen uses nvidia??? [03:31] Blue1: I did not read him [03:31] ahhh... gotchya [03:31] so, you all think NVDA is more "stable" under the ubuntu pkg? [03:31] ati raedon [03:31] segaloco: No. ATI is evil. [03:31] johnjohn101: suse 11.0 was a big disappointment [03:31] true dat [03:32] blue1: kde 4 has been a big disappointment [03:32] nvidia here :3 [03:32] BiggFREE: did you postbin the output yet? [03:32] Blue1: It was better than 10.x [03:32] kde is a disappointment :/ [03:32] johnjohn101: yeah you'd conclude linux is broke [03:32] it reminds me too much of windows though :P [03:32] hehe love my kde. kde4 is a major improvement over previous releases [03:32] ill stick to good old gnome 2.30 [03:32] thx all [03:32] segaloco how can you say, if Johnjohn101 use 195.*.* driver, he can use 255..*.* driver ? > complete higher grade video class driver, not suitable fot 195 like cards [03:32] Blue1: ... I did the command but nothing happened [03:32] cant wait until kde5 is released and put into ubuntu [03:32] there's no placd like gnome [03:32] I liked KDE 3.5x [03:32] crap [03:32] Oer: i used to use the old one, and i use the new one [03:33] BiggFREE: you are probably running stock drivers [03:33] i'm a died in the wool gnome desktop hater :) [03:33] BiggFREE: go into System/Administration/hardware drivers === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [03:33] ok [03:33] I was kinda happy to see that Gnome 3 was NOT going to be included in 10.10 [03:33] even tried using gnome again with 10.04 ubuntu. used it for 3 months. couldn't wait until the time was up so i could go back to my kde [03:33] BiggFREE: but you should have gotten something back like this: (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 195.36.24 Thu Apr 22 19:52:00 PDT 2010 [03:34] syn-ack: is gnome 3 even ready? [03:34] are there any active questions that scrolled off the screen becasue of this OT fest? [03:34] (i ordered myself to give gnome a fair tryout and gave it a 90 day usage requirement) [03:34] segaloco: no, they were banking on tho [03:34] isnt even gtk 3 still in development [03:34] Ubuntu that is [03:34] No driver is active ... Blue1 [03:34] ah [03:34] segaloco: it's still very much under development [03:34] BiggFREE: okay choose one of the nvidia driver (recommended one) should be latest version [03:35] ah [03:35] yeah, gnome 3 is far off then :P [03:35] 2.30 for me :P [03:35] My puter do not support the propriatery driver suggested [03:35] pgpkeys: what exactly is it about gnome you don't care for. menuing structure? layout? [03:36] apparently Debian 6 is still on schedule to drop when 10.10 does though [03:36] BiggFREE: hmm [03:36] My puter is not enough fast for it ... Blue1 [03:36] I tried it [03:36] BiggFREE: wait, what? [03:37] i've always wondered, when a version number is x.y.z-ubuntu or something, what exactly has been changed :/ [03:37] BiggFREE: how old is your computer? [03:37] BiggFREE: how is it not fast enough? What do you have for a video card? [03:37] or do they just like sticking their name in there [03:37] 2 years [03:37] both, plus its looks are generally shabby, regardless of theming, looks like something my 12 year old would build. Plus the interoperability with kde applications is shaky. lots of little things that bug the hell out of me [03:37] About [03:37] I have -- 25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) [03:37] syn-ack: he has: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3) [03:37] NDIVIA [03:37] oh, thats kinda old [03:37] if i was a better coder i'd work on it. [03:37] in my /etc/crontab... and crontab -e. Do they need to be there? [03:37] segaloco life is good again [03:37] :D [03:38] Blue1: try the legacy driver [03:38] syn-ack: yeah he may be in legacy support with that... [03:38] yeah, i remember my first time with linux, same problem [03:38] rather, BiggFREE, not Blue1 [03:38] heh [03:38] almost done with gcc tests hopefully :) [03:38] okay need a break bbl [03:38] why new gcc? [03:38] b/c im me, im just like that :P [03:39] use the nvidia 96 driver for mx400, [03:39] syn-ack: What is a legacy driver ? [03:39] and i dont like that window users have a newer version of gcc than me [03:39] last i checked mingw has 4.5.0 [03:39] BiggFREE: what Oer said. heh [03:39] and i had 4.4.3 :/ [03:39] what will happen if you have to compile a kernel module [03:39] so im updating 4.5.1 :P [03:39] pgpkeys: funny you should mention the 12 year old comment. My feeling on kde every time I tried it was that it seemed like the fisher price version of gnome. Kind of like windowsxp. It was maddening to me how many clicks it took to get into system preferences or applications [03:39] I tried it [03:39] windows users don t even know what gcc is :D [03:39] segaloco: careful when you start messing with the toolchain [03:39] johnjohn101: keeping 4.4.3 :P [03:39] or i could just update the kernel too [03:39] pgpkeys, well that fixed it, but barely put me over the required threshold for the update, still doesn't explain where all the MB's gone [03:40] I guess different strokes for different folks [03:40] turt1e ~ hehe yea. depending on which 'camp' you belong to that's usually the same complaint you hear on both sides of the aisle [03:40] segaloco, I dont' mess with any of that stuff once it's working I'm no messing with it [03:40] hi every one [03:40] well thats you, this is me :P [03:40] i need help [03:40] i used to be the same way. no time [03:40] i want any software i write to be built on the latest [03:40] pinPoint: in your personal crontab? no. But the system crontab (/etc/crontab) needs that line. [03:40] oer syn-ack Blue1 ... I will try again [03:40] please ask your question bebo_m_z [03:40] HI, using lucid, HELP , modprobe tun [03:40] FATAL: Module tun not found. [03:41] rtaibah ~ they didn't go anywhere. some of the space is saved for root so that non root apps can't take over everything and cause a filesystem to get so full that not even root can do anything [03:41] next... binutils [03:41] !wireless [03:41] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:41] turt1e ~ yeah that's generally where i leave it myself [03:41] But I will come back tomorrow Thanks for now [03:41] thune3: its in my /etc/crontab [03:41] BiggFREE: pastebin your output from the error for us, please [03:41] valbaca:when i get install update from update manager and when remove a program get a masseage say package operation failed [03:41] thune3: I want it to stop mailing me [03:41] turt1e ~ i figure use what you like [03:41] Oer: it worked!!! [03:41] Oer: thank you thank you!

[03:43] rtaibah ~ hrmm add up the total used + the free space + the reserved space and see what you come up with. remember 100MB partition will be smaller than that when formatted [03:43] so you lose some there as well [03:43] bebo_m_z so is the problem when you deselect an update from the GUI update-manager? [03:43] BiggFREE: sure did, that's why I said never mind to that idea [03:43] linux as a desktop has some way to go still imo. the ubuntu way of installing packages is as good as it gets when it comes to linux as a desktop, but there is a lot of shortcoming still [03:43] syn-ack: ... I did not get the log. [03:43] you just changed it to 3% reserved so thats 3MB, you lose .. what? 3 - 5MB in the formatting? [03:43] valbaca i not understand [03:43] add it all up [03:43] maybe this is any help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Low%20Screen%20Resolutions [03:44] hey, I had to build the r8001 (or something like that) ethernet driver for my lap for it to work. however, I've heard that those make installs only work for the current kernel and when there's an update I will have to do it again, and again... how do I set it up to use DKMS? [03:44] well, binutils, then gdb, just.. i want an up to date build system :P [03:44] bebo_m_z neither do I. what is the problem? [03:44] other than that, I got no clue. been my experience since '94 that thats normally the issue. people forget the formatting loss and the reserved space loss [03:44] HI, using lucid, HELP , modprobe tun [03:44] pinPoint: that's weird. could you pastebin your /etc/crontab? you could try adding MAILTO="" line up near SHELL and PATH to *possibly* disable the mail. [03:44] FATAL: Module tun not found. [03:44] i don t like that when you install something manually, you end up not knowing where it installed all files at times, as well as there is no central application dedicated to uninstalling installed software you installed manually [03:44] what is tun? [03:44] syn-ack: I will try again the legacy driver later. [03:44] thune3: can I pm? [03:45] pinPoint: sure [03:45] Tomorrow I will login again. [03:45] mikeru ~ if you're not using a prebuilt package then you'll have to write your own deb [03:45] pgpkeys, will checkinstall suffice? [03:45] syn-ack: I will give you the result.

[03:46] imo, software which installs any files outside a single folder should be required to send information to a central uninstall application, telling it which files it added removed or replaced, otherwise it should not be allowed to install any files outside a single folder the user picks [03:46] so you could either keep the source around and just rebuild whenever you update [03:46] or something like that :P [03:47] I'd love to be of help with DKMS but, I've never played with it. :/ [03:47] oh come on gcc, finish testing already Dx [03:47] heh [03:47] segaloco: Testing?

[03:50] bebo_m_z, sorry, I have no idea [03:50] ...

[04:03] Licuadora, leave it on :) [04:03] Zelozelos: standby [04:04] Licuadora: you could set an anacron for it [04:04] syn-ack, ahh just found it, its intergrated vid [04:04] Licuadora, otherwise, use shutdown TIME_IN_SECONDS [04:04] mikeru: poor PC has been ON all day [04:04] Zelozelos: think it's intel [04:04] mikegerwitz: could do that too.. heh [04:04] syn-ack, i ws hoping to find a better driver for it it gets laggy sometimes [04:04] what is a network based / wireless? printer / scanner / that works w/ ubuntu? [04:04] Zelozelos: it's not the driver. [04:04] $ sudo shtdown 10000 (like that?) [04:05] Licuadora, could work [04:05] Licuadora: no [04:05] nevermind [04:05] Ah, naughty mikeru [04:05] Licuadora, read the man page ('man shutdown') [04:05] Licuadora: shutdown -h then your time [04:05] syn-ack, why the -h [04:05] ? [04:05] Can i trust you syn-ack? [04:06] syn-ack, ahh its just the crappy vid...shux cant do anything about it cept throw it in the trash rofl [04:06] mikeru: halts the system [04:06] AHHHH, sorry I did forget halt [04:06] I am going to trust you syn-ack [04:06] mikeru: otherwise, it doesnt shutdown, just displays the message [04:06] Licuadora, yes, add the -h or it will only bring it down to single user mode (a console with no other ttys and no services basicaly) [04:06] (AFAIK) [04:07] damn.. bittorrent downloads the ubuntu .iso lightning fast compared to the ubuntu website.. [04:07] posciak: When you say connections and disconnections do you mean physically removing devices or just powering up and down? [04:07] Zelozelos: try upping the memory it uses in the bios if you can [04:07] Do you know how to use the /etc/network/interfaces file? [04:07] Licuadora, If you can't trust people in this channel, then you are beyond community support, and should consider commercial support from Canonical. [04:07] Zelozelos: otherwise you could buy an aftermarket card for it [04:08] Well, mikeru... you know [04:08] Licuadora: but do you trust the your blender rendering will be done by the time you set your shutdown. Would be a shame for the system to shutdown before your rendering finished processing [04:08] Anywho.... Is there a way to cancel it? [04:08] syn-ack, not sure im capable. idk much bout nuthin, its a lappie also sooo...it tis what it is [04:08] Licuadora, you will understand better if you read the man page. [04:08] Licuadora: shutdown -c [04:08] I typed 1000, and that is a 1000 minutes, not seconds [04:08] but yeah man shutdown [04:08] Licuadora, WHAT? weird... [04:08] should be seconds [04:09] maybe is because i have the most recent kernel [04:09] oh wow [04:09] syn-ack, thanks for the help though [04:09] it was changed to minutes [04:09] Licuadora, yes, it should be seconds. whatever, to cancel you use sudo shutdown -c [04:09] nevermind [04:09] Zelozelos: np [04:09] about the seconds thing, which kernel is that? [04:09] there you go [04:10] tpmccallum: both would be preferable, is there a difference? I know only basic /etc/network/interfaces syntax [04:10] Licuadora, in that case, then i highly suggest you read the manpage considering things have changed. [04:10] mikeru: last time I used a time was with a 2.4 kernel [04:10] esperanto + ubuntu best buds [04:10] mikeru: Even I had to pull the man for that. heh [04:10] syn-ack, I'm using 2.6.32-24-generic and it's still seconds [04:10] ubuntu + google + wikipedia + esperanto = best buds [04:11] NO [04:11] it is minutes [04:11] I just adjusted the time [04:11] Thanks a lot everyone [04:11] You too mikeru [04:11] your welcome [04:11] now, i am going to sleep [04:12] godd night [04:12] mikeru: "All logged-in users are notified that the system is going down and, within the last five minutes of TIME, new logins are prevented." [04:12] from the manpage [04:13] syn-ack, I'm confused but whatever. not like I used the time option all teh time. but i'm curious as to how you use seconds now though... [04:13] Hi, I need some help. Does anyone know how to transfer GRUB from a partition? [04:13] I was dualbooting Ubuntu and XP, and I did something in gparted to mess up GRUB [04:13] so then i instaled another partition so grub would work [04:13] mikeru: Not really sure, tbh though it says it can accept any valid TIME format [04:14] justin__: it installs to whichever partition has the MBR. Or it rewrites the MBR. [04:14] now i have 2 ubuntu partitions, and i need to delete one. any help? [04:14] and what's the TIME format? [04:14] mikeru: so I would assume HH:MM:SS [04:14] justin__: you need to reinstall GRUB [04:14] justin__: after removing the partition you arent using [04:14] syn-ack, hm... [04:15] eviltrek - you cannot tell grub to create an MBR on a particular HDD? [04:15] my wireless connection randomly dies. then after about a minute it tells me I need to enter the WEP key. It's already entered, it works. This isn't a problem with my router, I'm 110% sure of that. Any ideas? [04:15] EvilTrek: ok, so delete the extra partiton, and install grub with glapted live? [04:15] gparted* [04:15] justin__: i'm not a pro with grub, but i know that you need to reinstall it. ask someone else here how to, they might know. [04:15] sudo update-grub, iirc [04:16] it could come up with a curses screen asking where you want it installed [04:16] HI all! Now that /etc/resolv.conf is generated by code, what file do you edit to manually add nameservers? [04:16] thx eviltrek. syn-ack: do this from the partition with grub installed? [04:16] #ubuntu-br [04:17] nah, from where ever you're running it [04:17] it'll scan your parts and ask you [04:17] ok thx ill give it a try [04:17] Hello, After setting up my display and rebooting my gnome toolbars seemed to have disappeared. I can login as root and then run startx and roots X will start with the gnome-toolbar but my user won't. Anyone know why? [04:18] arosen1: you need to fix your .xauthority file in ~/ [04:18] syn-ack: the command in "sudo update-grub, iirc"? [04:19] any sound gurus up in here... when playing AAC audio it gets sent as PCM to my amp but my center channel and rear left channel speakers are switched [04:19] command is* [04:19] syn-ack: can i just copy roots .gconfd to my dir? [04:19] justin__: no "sudo update-grub" [04:19] syn-ack: whats wrong with my .xauthority ? [04:19] flomaster_, Not a sound guru, but dumb question... have you checked that the speakers are plugged in the right jacks? [04:20] arosen1: Don't know.. [04:20] arosen1: lemme check mine, been a few years since I've had that issue [04:20] Hi, trying to start RAID on Server, but it's not detected. Intel offers drivers for redhat and opensuse. Tried redhat rmp to convert to deb, smth went wrong and installation failed. Can anyone help? [04:20] syn-ack: ok thx, so now grub is on this partition? and i can delete the unused one? [04:20] syn-ack: mine is empty [04:20] #kismet [04:20] dsnyders: yeah its all good when playing dts, and dolby digital just the AAC audio is fubar i have the alsa sound drivers intalled on my zotac ionitx mobo with onboard Nvidia chipset [04:21] hrm [04:21] seems that things have changed a bit, arosen1 standby [04:21] syn-ack: i'll tryp copying my .gconfd and see if that fixes it since it works fine as root [04:21] justin__: did it bring up the screen asking you where you want it installed? [04:21] dsnyders: this is an HTPC running xbmc-live so its only purpose is to play movies, music, tv.shows and photos so having the aac audio mixed up is no bueno [04:22] justin__: if not, DO NOT REBOOT [04:22] i ran sudo update-grub, and it gave me a list of the entries [04:22] anyone in here good with Ubuntu [04:23] what did it say? do you still have the output to pastebin?

[04:49] gary_inNYC: for the time period you think the panic happened look for any Warning, ERROR, Panic msgs in the log. [04:49] is there some sort of apt-get clean or rebuild command ?

[04:51] Dice-Man: wikipedia says we have the same graphics because i have a N420 and that apparently is GMA 3150. works fine for me [04:51] gary_inNYC: you may also check the dmesg files in that same directory.

Question: Using 10.04 LTS, connection to my wireless router keeps failing, even though it is on an auto connect sometimes it gives up, is there a way I can keep it connected to it even when it fails? [04:57] gary_inNYC: ok from here I would suggest a google search on those warnings to see if it leads you any were. But be aware that warning msgs usually don't amount to much. Try the grep search again but this time instead of warning try error or panic. Are you familiar with grep and its options? [04:57] hello everyone, quick question. Is there a scripting language with sys or sqs as the script extension [04:58] marca311: did you kill the apt-get process? don't [04:58] turtle: unfortunately no [04:58] user_, sounds like a bad bug on your wireless card, what card do you have? [04:58] ilovefairuz: haven't yet [04:58] I have a Ubuntu server that I have configured to have a static IP [04:58] maco: it works by using "" on its name. [04:58] every few hours, it gets an IP over DHCP [04:58] monokrome, what is the question, all in ***one line*** [04:58] marca311: so it's still running and hanged? [04:59] ilovefairuz: [04:59] ilovefairuz: whoops, only apt-get is hanging [04:59] I have a Ubuntu server that I have configured to have a static IP - but every few hours, it gets an IP over DHCP. My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: http://dpaste.com/230918/ . Also, you will need to make your screen wider so that this all fits on one line, tucemiux. [05:00] turtle: i found "registered panic notifier" in syslog [05:00] marca311: that's not the full output, do: ps axjf > ps.txt .. and then pastebin the file [05:01] gary_inNYC: grep is case sensitive but it can be used to search through files and directories for specific patterns. try a "grep -i pattern file" to make the search case insensitive [05:01] can aNYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO FIND THE KISMET CONFIG FILE ON BACKTRACK4 R1 [05:02] why uname -p == "unknown" yet arch == "i686" ? [05:02] gary_inNYC: no clue what that is unfortunately. try google search on it [05:02] Hola, alguien aquí habla español?

[05:03] turtle: perhaps this pastebin might help? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QkKnrX9G [05:04] maco, thanks again. [05:04] hello everyone, quick question. Is there a scripting language with sys or sqs as the script file's extension [05:04] How can I start the installer after installation finished? [05:04] ilovefairuz: nothing [05:04] flourish, why? [05:05] marca3111: nothing what? there's a file created now, ps.txt, open it with gedit and pastebin === MePHiSTo1 is now known as Guest18892 [05:05] monokrome, your configuration looks OK, as long as your router's IP is 192.168.0.1, that is a very weird problem you are having, I would check your logs and check your router [05:05] or rather, how can I install the LAMP task without having to name each separate package? [05:05] ilovefairuz: sorry, complete mind blank, i'll get right to it [05:05] I am having trouble using my iphone 3GS with rhythmbox - I keep getting this message: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/RR74RLKe Running lucid on my laptop with all the updates and libmobile device installed. (yes this is same person as mateo who posted this question earlier) [05:06] mikeru: maybe my next job is just writing such scripting [05:06] ah, found it.. sudo tasksel install lamp-server [05:06] dislo: it doesnt say much, id do all this: 1) use ssh -i and use the same private key you use with another user, 2) check permissions on /root/.ssh and everything below (700 / 600) [05:06] flourish, but my question is, why is the file extension so important?? [05:07] dislo: what do you have in PermitRootLogin? [05:07] ilovefairuz: here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/480246/ [05:08] monokrome, did a reboot and a /etc/init.d/networking restart help at all? [05:08] mikeru: ??? i didn't see the extension is important, but the file usually saved with a sys/sqs suffix. [05:08] flourish, "Is there a scripting language with sys or sqs as the script file's extension" [05:08] marca3111: did you do: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.1 .. and left it stuck ? [05:08] anyhow, no idea [05:09] ilovefairuz: yes [05:10] How do I exit gpg at terminal? [05:10] well, think about python and perl? python's extension is .py and perl's is .pl or .plx [05:10] marca3111: where did you leave it? in another gnome-terminal tab? [05:10] guampa, i would need to change that setting on the server [05:10] shawnboy: ctl+d [05:10] ilovefairuz: my computer restarted, remember? [05:11] guampa: thanks. [05:11] dislo: set it to "without-password" so it only allows root login with keys [05:11] otherwise you are exposed to dictionary attacks [05:11] Is there any way to use wine to install .net support in the fake c:/ path? [05:12] marca3111: naturally, you should redo the command after the computer boots up, sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.1 .. then open another terminal and do: ps axjf > ps.txt [05:12] gary_inNYC: couldn't find much of relavance about those warnings. GDM is your Gnome Display manager and is essentially the gui login window. [05:12] ilovefairuz: k [05:13] gary_inNYC: my only real suggestion at this point would be to monitor and see if that error occurs again or if it was a one time only thing [05:13] ilovefairuz: it just gave me the apt-get --configure error again and nothing else [05:14] marca3111: pastebin [05:14] k [05:14] Is there any way, in Ubuntu Netbook Remix, to add a program to the favorites menu that is run from a folder in the home directory?

How can I fix this problem? Running lucid on my laptop with all the updates and libmobile device installed. [05:19] ilovefairuz: yup [05:19] dark tux or something [05:19] marca3111: ps axjf > ps.txt [05:19] hi Blue1 nothing much [05:20] I'm getting pcmanfm [05:20] syn-ack: that is actually more common that not on some systems, for kernel panic to not produce a core that is. [05:20] turt1e: right... [05:20] a3Dman: yeah anything has to be better [05:20] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/480253/ [05:20] no one reported this nautilus bug?

[05:22] it has no 7.1 sound support [05:22] i really miss that [05:22] that is the only reason i come back to windows [05:22] kiffer: never heard of that what is it? [05:22] i can do anything in ubunutu [05:22] really [05:22] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/480254/ [05:22] 7.1 souround system [05:22] you know [05:22] kiffer: disable Pulseaudio and use straight ALSA. ;) [05:23] 7 boxes one subwoofer [05:23] still [05:23] kiffer: what, are you running a home theater off a windows box or something? [05:23] alsa has only 5.1 [05:23] kiffer: Not sure you have to now, but back in the day you did, iirc [05:23] kiffer: ah no -- we have 5.1 dolby here. I live in an apt - so surround sound [05:23] yes [05:23] but only 5.1 [05:23] so i will be missing 2 boxes [05:23] i can get 5.1 to work sure fine no problem [05:23] but there has never been build a proper 7.1 support it seems [05:24] pcmanfm is a lot faster [05:24] i could be wrong it could have been build by now === nick_ is now known as Guest29035 [05:24] but i do not like to miss 2 of my boxes [05:24] maybe it's because I'm just not that much of an audiophile but really? 2 speakers makes that much of a difference? [05:25] to me it does [05:25] i can twinker with ubuntu and i'm kinda a perfectionist [05:25] so [05:25] hi there === stephen is now known as Guest23782 [05:25] i can make my graphic card everything work [05:25] fine [05:25] except for this small thing [05:25] how do i stop the iptables service in 10.04? [05:26] kiffer: a quick check on google shows 7.1 in fact works in linux [05:27] HinHin: http://blog.hbcom.info/archives/44 [05:27] guampa: He did quantify it in the beginning by specifically pointing out Ubuntu [05:27] marca3111: sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1 [05:28] troopperi, thanks [05:28] where guampa [05:28] i can only find 5.1 with some wire twinkering [05:28] i don't like that [05:28] idea [05:28] of losing sound by adding wires to a surround set [05:29] google linux "7.1" surround [05:29] !enter | kiffer [05:29] kiffer: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:29] kiffer: dude, it's the first friggin hit on google [05:30] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/480256/ [05:30] kiffer: and Wouldn't ya know it, it's in Ubuntu Forums. [05:30] ilovefairuz: do it kill dpkg? [05:30] syn-ack that is still 5.1 [05:30] being adjusted to 7.1 [05:30] marca3111: is the other terminal still hanging? [05:30] ilovefairuz: yes [05:31] kiffer: you have 2 more speakers, of course you are going to add more wires right? [05:31] marca3111: no more output? [05:31] turt1e++ [05:31] ilovefairuz: no more than the second last pastebin link i sent you [05:32] no i was refering to adding plugs to have those 2 boxes work on the others [05:32] so you don't really have surroun but you do have sound [05:32] marca3111: pastebin: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.1.prerm [05:32] but i do not like it that way and what i read from it linux still have no 7.1 support [05:32] kiffer: Please stop using your enter key like that. You were already asked once. [05:32] The dynamic range compression requirement also indicates why it's bad for the "standard" to become 7.1 when you only have 5.1 equipment (like most people do). [05:33] i do make full sentences now i do not enter all the time [05:33] wow the ubuntu bots are tough on you [05:33] kiffer: group them [05:33] I am having trouble using my iphone 3GS with rhythmbox - I keep getting this message: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/RR74RLKe.

The particular idea would be to look at a directory of files and then if they are n days old they will be moved into directories based on extensions and such [05:37] wombatguy, can't you have your wombat do it for you? [05:37] *Rim_shot* [05:37] i might have to [05:37] im surprised this hasn't been done yet [05:38] wombatguy: like I said, sort and regex and you'll be ok [05:38] i'd like to add some ability to look into compressed archives and further sort based on contents [05:38] yea i guess i didn't understand sort [05:38] looking into it now [05:38] wombatguy: you can use find to select files by age. [05:38] yea mtime [05:38] that's how i was doing it [05:38] wombatguy: wombatguy check this out: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [05:38] kiffer: i still see people geting output to all the 8 channels [05:39] guampa well i guess you see more than me [05:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795525 [05:40] http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~bondhugu/surround-pulse.shtml [05:40] did you read that update ?

[06:15] hello all [06:16] does anyone know how to change offline mode by default in firefox ? [06:16] 10.04 is dangerous, I think that's the message.

[06:16] tonsilitis: the WineHQ won't load? [06:17] * cystic has been grinning ear to ear since installing 10.04 [06:17] tonsilitis, no, the AIM that had the bronze rating wouldn't load [06:17] any of you here share are /home partition among multiple ubuntu installs? curious how the installer for each subsequent ubuntu/kubuntu install handles the /home partition that was created by the first install [06:17] wissem: by default? it's not, it goes offline when network manager goes offline [06:18] ilovefairuz, no i have ubuntu with lxde as gui , it have wiced as the network manager :) [06:18] evening all... anyone have any experience with transparent proxies and/or stateful firewall software? [06:18] tonsilitis: You can try out the other AIM versions. [06:19] primarly if you set the flag to not partiion /home will it play nicely with the files already on that partiion? I assume different usernames for each install is a neccessity? [06:19] <_F-117> SteveThing: transparent proxies socks ? [06:19] wissem: that's probably why it goes offline [06:19] im rather pleased with 10.04 [06:20] last time i used ubuntu was like 7.10 [06:20] is there anything , i can do to solve this ? [06:20] Stale, do you use AIM for windows? [06:20] i've that's a firefox bug [06:20] :/ [06:20] _F-117, i'm wanting to see if they are compatible with gaming consoles (Wii and PS3) or if they really don't care [06:20] turt1e: depends on whether the application in question can handle old config files or not [06:21] my father used to tell me that drinking a cup of bleach can solve all of your problems [06:21] windows suck [06:21] <_F-117> SteveThing: dam thats a good question , you have ubuntu running on PS3 ? [06:21] i was disconnected. [06:21] wissem: is firefox-gnome-support installed? if so, try removing it [06:21] _F-117, no, just sitting on my network [06:21] say, how does one release their ip address and renew it? [06:21] in ubuntu gnome of course [06:22] _F-117, stupid sony update disabled my linux install... real f-tards [06:22] Kebert_Xela: sudo killall dhclient && sudo dhclient eth0 [06:22] tonsilitis: yes, so I would try install the Windows AIM. The WineHQ will take care of the rest. [06:22] Stale, do you use AIM for windows? [06:22] okay , ilovefairuz , thnks [06:22] alright ill make a note of that [06:22] thanks ilovefairuz [06:23] <_F-117> SteveThing: Dam, I know I use to have a setup all networked when i ran windows , but never did proxies with xbox never really thought about it [06:23] <_F-117> SteveThing: Whats the goal ? [06:23] Stale, good. The reason I'm trying to download it is because I'm looking for a friend I met online, I only know him by his username, is there a search option in AIM to search by username? [06:24] _F-117, I don't really need to, but I'd like to see how robust they are for experience purposes [06:24] Stale, actually i just know what he went by [06:24] Stale, not his actual username [06:24] anyone have any tips for learing the code faster? other than just fixing and customizing with terminal? [06:24] Stale, just his alias [06:24] <_F-117> tonsiltis: intitle : AOL username on google [06:24] ilovefairuz: well the application would be ubuntu installer from livecd. I just want to make sure that if I share my existing /home partition if I decide to install say ubuntu 9.10 that it won't try to format /home partition even though I leave the option unchecked during install [06:25] _F-117, I've tried that. [06:25] _F-117, good concept and seems pretty simple... but i'd like to test it with various hardware on my network [06:25] <_F-117> SteveThing: Thats some shit I would do [06:25] tonsilitis: I'll see if AIM have a search option. [06:25] ok thanks [06:25] hi.... im using gnome... everytime i want to uninstall an app like.... chesse.... the apt wants to uninstall a lot of gnome apps as well.... how can i fix that [06:25] and make apt remove only the app i want [06:25] negative , ilovefairuz , that dosent work [06:25] turt1e: no, the applications are the individual applications you use inside ubuntu after it's installed, these are the ones that read/write config files in your home directory [06:25] Pink_Flood, apt-get check? [06:26] <_F-117> SteveThing: Thats c00l throw a phone into the mix to spice it up and proxy using your phone [06:26] _F-117, already planning it :) [06:26] <_F-117> SteveThing: Do you have a smartphone [06:26] _F-117, my neighbor does and I let him use my wifi [06:27] _F-117, one of the T-Mobile ones hat needs updates constantly... should be an interesting test [06:27] tonsilitis: I can see the webpage version of AIM here. http://www.aim.com/ [06:27] ilovefairuz: oh! yeah no those I'm confident wouldn't be an issue because I would have a different user name for each install. More worried about the installer doing something silly like formating or overwriting the data already on /home partiion [06:27] <_F-117> SteveThing: android ? [06:27] wissem: open new tab, about:config, in search box type "toolkit.networkmanager.disable" .. when it comes up double click to set to false [06:28] tonsilitis: or this link. http://o.aolcdn.com/aim/gromit/aim_express/gm/100426.2.4571.en-us/WidgetMain.html [06:28] i have a stupid question, is the code used in terminal: UNIX or otherwise? [06:28] turt1e: no it wouldn't [06:28] _F-117, some google phone.. i dunno... he just got it and keeps jizzing in his pants about it [06:28] !language | SteveThing [06:28] SteveThing: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:28] ilovefairuz, i ll be careful i promise lol [06:29] onna try that :D [06:29] <_F-117> SteveThing: lol use Sip and pre pay and you get non traceable free service [06:30] So neat trick for anyone with a bluetooth capable laptop and a bluetooth unit in your car/truck... you can stream movie audio through your car stereo using bluetooth A2DP :) Sounds alot better than those tinny laptop speakers [06:30] really easy with netbook remix too [06:30] is gparted capable of resizing a raid 0 partition? and actually maintain the integrety of the data strip? [06:31] Kebert_Xela, don't think so [06:32] so doubtful that i could install with raid 0 on a partition, copy my backed up stuff onto it, then resize the raid partition to aquire the remaining 150gb or so? [06:32] Pink_Flood: pastebin [06:32] !paste > Pink_Flood [06:32] Pink_Flood, please see my private message [06:33] Kebert_Xela, don't think so... but i'm sure there is a way to do some fun image juggling to achieve that if you've got a spare drive laying around [06:34] unfortunately i dont really [06:34] not one capable of [06:34] well maybe [06:34] Kebert_Xela, i'm no expert, maybe someone else on here knows... [06:34] thanks anyways [06:35] Sup? [06:36] tonsilitis: you can also let that username to search for your ID (so you don't have to). [06:36] Stale, thanks that worked! [06:36] anyone know if a picoITX machine would be capable of running ubuntu server for the purposes of stateful firewall and transparent cached proxy? [06:36] can anyone else confirm that the ubuntu torrents are not working? http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [06:36] SteveThing: fitpc :) [06:37] tonsilitis: The "forcing the other user to find your ID" idea works? [06:37] let me rephrase that: the .torrent files are not available for download [06:37] no stale [06:37] ActionParsnip, heh, i forgot about those... i wonder if the price has dropped since release... /google [06:37] the original idea worked [06:37] ActionParsnip, thanx bud [06:37] tonsilitis: oh, cool. [06:37] SteveThing: grab the dual lan one and you are smug [06:38] SteveThing: could set it use as a router and ditch your home grade pos [06:38] ActionParsnip, I'm using Cisco... nothing "home grade" about it :) [06:39] SteveThing: nice. Do you mean a real cisco, or a linksys? [06:39] ActionParsnip, but I will probably be using the new device as a router to seperate broadcast domains [06:39] valbaca: I know where are the archives at. [06:40] ActionParsnip, Cisco 877W... it's a branch office router... not cheap either... got it for $5 at a pizza-hut closeout auction :) [06:40] SteveThing: there are tiny devices which can run as file/torrent clients and are pretty spot on. For the proxy you'll need a bit more bite [06:40] valbaca: that page doesn't seem to have been updated since 10.04.1 release. just add the .1 as appropriate in the address e.g. http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.1/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [06:41] Stale, the website links to the 10.04 torrents, not the 10.04.1. The 10.04.1 torrent that I was looking for is here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ problem solved [06:41] valbaca: that is good. [06:41] Blue1 hi .. i have a question .. i reboot my pc..and press F8 to go in SAFE MODE .. but..it shows me only Ubuntu there..is it possible that the Windows was automatically deleted? [06:41] SteveThing: wow, nice. I'm moving my fileserver to router soon to replace my linksys. Just need time when I'm not tired or out [06:42] thune3, thanks. [06:42] Is there anyway to let Canonical know to update the site? [06:43] valbaca: id inform in #freenode [06:43] hey, i had both windows and linux on same partition C:\ ..is it possible that windows was deleted? [06:44] U8untu: the boot options usually shows a list of kernels/OS. [06:45] U8untu: doubtful.

[06:59] lili1, answer is - try it yourself and have yoru own opinion. because 50% will say lucid is bad nad 50% will say its good. i say its really awesome! [06:59] I just installed ubuntu on a netbook. it crashes every time I boot. seems to be when the 'drumming' sound is played on the login screen. which file can I edit to disable the drums?

How can I check? [07:01] what do you guys think about that as an htpc? I think I might buy [07:02] cystic: That'd be a better question for #ubuntu-offtopic [07:02] Aliselyn: type 'groups' in a terminal. you should see 'admin' listed. [07:02] how can i give a new user sudo root capability? [07:02] cystic, what are you trying to do with your HTPC? DVR? Blu-Ray playback? [07:02] Aliselyn: if you just added yourself to a new group, log out and back in again.

[07:02] and look for gid [07:03] downloading 1080 torrents on ubuntu and displaying them on the big screen [07:03] so log out then back in again since I added myself to dip? [07:03] Aliselyn: yes. [07:04] lili1: 10.04.1 just came out, many bugs were fixed. I recommend running 10.04.1 live cd. If it loads, detects your hardware, and you like it: then it's good. (64-bit is not a standard recommendation for someone new to ubuntu) [07:04] prince_jammys: ok, did that [07:04] webpage fonts on Firefox 4 beta aren't rendered well. this is always the case for beta releases of firefox. any fix? :) [07:05] !64 | thune3 [07:05] cystic, looks like it would work just fine for that... looks like a great deal actually [07:05] thune3: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [07:05] Currently am on 10.04, I erred badly in using the sudo commands for loading Qgis. Consequently it deleted many files from my system, I suspect xorg and window manager routines. My system is operative but marginal. Is there anyway short of a total system load to accomplish repairs? [07:05] cystic, if you plan on using linux, i'd do some research on that graphics card and HDMI out first... see if it works with linux [07:06] ak-tom: what did you do, and what symptoms are you seeing? [07:07] graphics card would be the only thing I need to look at for compatability?

KDE screen relatively ok. [07:08] cystic, well, check the drivers for the motherboard too... the audio chipset might not be compatible... or mayve the gfx card can't output sound over HDMI, just look around for anything that will require a driver... NIC drivers, etc [07:08] sexe [07:09] cool i will check it out further then instead of impulse buying it [07:09] I just installed ubuntu on a netbook. it crashes every time I boot. seems to be when the 'drumming' sound is played on the login screen. which file can I edit to disable the drums?

[07:16] I set the Alt+AltGr combination to switch the current keyboard layout to the next one, and it works fine when the current keyboard layout is USA, or Deu, but it does not work when the current layout is Rou. Is this a known problem? [07:16] Hi, I lost the data on the HDD in NTFS. Movies, programs, ISO images ... How can I restore the data? [07:17] sacarlson: I didn't know there was any such option. I was thinking of blacklisting the sound kernel module, but don't know how [07:17] dooglus: do you make/model# for your netbook? [07:17] prince_jammys: I seem to have lost wissem.... when you aren't busy, would you mind helping? [07:17] thune3: it's a gateway LT3201h [07:17] dash9, not all keyboard layouts differentiate between alt and altgr. My guess is that Rou sees altgr as simply another alt [07:17] Aliselyn: repeat the whole question to the channel. if i have an idea, i'll help. i don't know what you're doing. [07:17] dooglus: I assume it's a laptop or a unit with build in sound? if so then you can boot get into bios and disable it [07:17] Hi, I lost the data on the HDD in NTFS. Movies, programs, ISO images ... How can I restore the data? [07:18] sacarlson: it's a netbook. lspci tells me it has intel sound === gimped is now known as Gimped [07:18] hubi123, wrong channel.

[07:26] abhijeet, I was wondering about a hardcore version of ubuntu [07:26] :D [07:26] abhijeet, now answer!!! [07:26] :P [07:27] whoops [07:27] hey, i am going to System --> Preferences ..and i have no sound settings..why ? [07:27] sidh: yes that's how I still do it. setup a static ip address? [07:27] U8untu, but do you have sound? [07:27] guys I really need help here [07:27] !details | AfterTech [07:27] AfterTech, with what? [07:27] AfterTech: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:28] Seveas yes..i`m listening to radio [07:28] I need a more hardcore version of ubuntu [07:28] what is hard core version? [07:28] i mean Seveas-train yes [07:28] that's what I'm asking you, brosef [07:28] sidh: I'm not sure my solution is quite right yet sometimes it seems network-manager tries to take back control if the plug gets unpluged and pluged again. [07:28] :/ [07:28] AfterTech, that makes zero sense [07:29] I want Ubuntu [07:29] but more hardcore [07:29] I dont see what doesn't make sense [07:29] hey, i'm trying to run a computer headless, so that i just VNC into it. but each time it boots up that damn auto config of X sets it to 640x480, even though i set it to 1024 when i left it. wat do [07:29] sacarlson: yes but via the interfaces file, not through a UI , thes week i experienced freezes of ubuntu and was not able to login through ssh to reboot the machine [07:29] AfterTech, if you have an actual support issue then ask. nonsense in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:29] AfterTech: try http://ur1.ca/16g70 [07:29] AfterTech: hardcore? you mean to compile stuff? [07:29] AfterTech: Ubuntu is not meant to be hardcore. If you want a hardcore Linux distro go for Slackware or Gentoo [07:29] U8untu, try the gnome-volume-control command [07:30] rww, I make it a rule not to follow random shortified links [07:30] AfterTech: your loss [07:30] sidh: yes /etc/network/intefaces [07:30] !ot | AfterTech [07:30] AfterTech: #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! [07:30] or Linux from scratch [07:30] AfterTech: it is clear that you do not understand how this channel works. [07:30] sidh: it seems to work fine at boot but I still loose it at times [07:30] Im using ubuntu netbook 10.4 (i think) ... How can I prevent every new window from being fully maximized, its getting annoying as hell! [07:30] bazhang, I saw the first time you mentioned that, and I ignored it because it wasn't off topic, but thanks for your concern [07:31] AfterTech, not concern. Please stop [07:31] dooglus: i'm going to guess that X is crashing repeatedly, causing multiple bongos. I'm *still* going to recommend you try xforcevesa grub option, to see if you can at least get into desktop. [07:31] pthsWork, Slackware and Gentoo are both bad distros [07:31] Slackware doesn't have repos and portage sucks [07:31] AfterTech: no one cares but you [07:31] Seveas-train it said that i dont have installed it [07:32] U8untu, did you install ubuntu or kubuntu? [07:32] ubuntu [07:32] sidh: like yestarday we had a power failure that knocked out my router but my computer has UPS power but in recovery of the router my pc some how lost route [07:32] U8untu, looks like you're missing a chunk of your system. Try this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [07:32] when we have a freeze is it possible to check somewhere some log before the hard reset [07:32] is there a way to install x64 over a 32 bit install? [07:32] bazhang: do you have any experience with building a .deb? [07:33] pvl1, boot the x64 installer and wipe the x32 install :) [07:33] how to prevent new windows from opening maximized? Anyone? [07:33] Seveas-train, i cant just install a 64 bit package over the 32 bit ones? [07:33] pvl1: nope [07:33] pvl1, no. [07:33] Gnea, sorry a bit busy atm [07:33] sidh: a freeze? do you mean you lost network? sounds like you remote in and all you lost was a connection. normaly if it locks up the logs won't show much. doesn't hurt to look. [07:34] :( [07:34] eh oh well im sure ican partition the important stuff out [07:34] I bought a new wifi card today and was able to hack the driver from ralink's site to work. I'm typing over it right now. There's no .deb package for it and it hasn't been integrated into the kernel yet, and I'm wondering if there's a general area where I could store the .deb for public consumption that would be acceptable [07:34] bazhang: okay [07:35] ya so how come my ubuntu boots into 640by480 and not 1024 like i told it to? [07:35] acw: no idea, are you on a KVM? [07:35] Gnea, if the thing is open source, create a ppa on launchpad.net. If not: stick it on your own server [07:35] im trying to run it headless and jsut vnc into it [07:35] sidh: my total lock up problems are normaly bad memory or just dirty contacts on memory sims. you can try run a long mem test. [07:35] but it boots up to 640 [07:36] annoying [07:36] and i cant change it [07:36] acw, if no monitor is connected you need to force a resolution in xorg.conf [07:36] Seveas-train: well ralink provides the source on their website for the card, so it's plenty open source. Sounds like a good idea though, I'll host it myself for now and make a ppa once it's refined. [07:37] i looked into that but somehting somewher said not to because it auto does thing? [07:37] s [07:37] acw, well, it can only autodetect supported resolutions when an actual monitor is connected [07:37] acw: what is you want to run on this headless machine? [07:38] i jsut vnc into it to check this webcam streaming app [07:38] no need to even have a display [07:38] acw: why not just ssh into then? [07:39] it runs inside the browser [07:39] and i dont want to x forward [07:39] for its flash [07:39] and errors liek mad [07:39] acw: that might make sence [07:39] acw, why not use a different webcam app? [07:40] well im streaming it to ustream. i just used their web browser flash streamer [07:40] <77CAA3LEK> hi guys i have a computer with ubuntu on the whole harddrive id like to shrink the partion and install windows xp on half of it how could i install the boot loader and shrink the partion with out wiping out my ubuntu partion [07:40] perhaps serve it over http. [07:40] makes sense [07:40] thune3, sacarlson: the alternate iso is taking a long time to install [07:40] is there another way? [07:40] sacarlson: no cd drive, right.

[07:41] Seveas-train, when I use keyboard layouts Rou, Deu, "xev" reports the same keycodes when I press Alt (64). Also for AltGr (108). But still, Alt+AltGr only works from Deu->Rou, not the other way. And in the "Choose a Layout" window, both layouts show "ISO_L..." for the AltGr key (USA has "Meta_R Alt_R"). Oh, and AltGr in Rou is different than Alt, it has different effects on keys, so it's not the same. [07:41] TestDisk does not restore the files, and recover PhotoRec one ...

[09:26] Yes, try reloading alsa [09:26] csis: I'm using pulseaudio, not alsa, alsa could not even see the card. [09:29] lif gnome-ppp says that it cannot open the modem, is that most likely because it doesn't have the driver for the modem? === McPeter__ is now known as McPeter [09:31] gimpy283, check if pulsaudio daemon is running [09:31] pulseaudio --check [09:34] csis: It was not tunnimg, I strate dit as the user who needs it, still no sound.

The other apps (aumix and alsamixer) do not show this, but I was able to unmute it, which set the volume to 0% and refuses to change that now with set-sink-volume [09:49] OMG [09:49] wow [09:49] Kingsy101: PDFs are not supposed to be editable, though.

[10:25] droopal, and dist-upgrade and safe-upgrade so upgrades [10:26] thank you, but that still does help with the fact that its stopped doing anything when it says it was updating Furefox, with a blank next line, so I cant even use the terminal, it wont do anything [10:26] doesnt help* [10:26] its stopped there === 94SAAGLMA is now known as Lunar_Lamp [10:27] how do i disable login screen of Ubuntu, so i can see messages, when I run selected kernel for ubuntu? when you are in grub menu isn't doesn't somethig have to do with ESC ?

[10:47] i asked it : I am not able to mount an external drive on the box [10:47] I am using lucid [10:47] Sonderblade: you can mount it to a local directory, and navigate it like a normal directory [10:48] ...with smbmount or mount.cifs [10:48] I was able to mount it earlier but not now [10:48] what could be the problem [10:48] ectospasm: so you can't mount samba using nautilus? [10:48] Sonderblade: use the URI smb:/// [10:48] Sonderblade: I thought you said the shell [10:49] logan_wolf: does anything happen in dmesg when you insert the drive? Try disconnecting it, and watch "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" as you insert it.

[11:10] ranjan, yes, i assume there are about 40% or so ;) [11:10] For ubuntu server. What would be optional [11:10] DASPRiD, so are you one among them?

[11:11] on three of them, yes [11:11] DASPRiD, ok great then i want to know your experience on the boot experience and plymouth [11:12] ranjan, same as anyone using nvidia blob there: low resolution [11:12] DASPRiD, so is there any workaround for that?? [11:13] how do i change the desktop gui's resolution? [11:13] ranjan, nope, nvidia has to implement kms for that === [1]zulgaban is now known as wakkarto [11:14] ranjan, but I don't really see that as a problem, you usually see the plymouth screen for about 5 seconds a day ;) [11:14] fuuuuuck!

If you installed some property GPU-driver from Nvidia or ATI, there is a special configuration tool for the driver. [11:15] Since there is no linux-image-vserver for marvic, yet, I am thinking about using lucid server 32b with bttrfs for root and ext4 for /boot. How is the experience about that? Will I ran into too much trouble? [11:16] david__: maverick support in #ubuntu+1, not here [11:16] minimec, i have a nvidia video card [11:17] itsux2bu: Do you use the restricted driver from ->System->Administration->Hardware Drivers ? [11:18] rww: I know and also asked there but I forgot to mention that I am thinking about using this setup in lucid [11:18] i haven't used anything yet [11:18] david__: btrfs isn't supported on Lucid ;) [11:18] uh [11:18] itsux2bu: So try ->system->preferences->monitors to change resolution. [11:18] thats a definite answer rww ;) [11:19] or am I mixing up filesystems again [11:19] finally!!! dpkg-deb: building package `linuxsta-rt3572' in `../linuxsta-rt3572_2.4.0.1+20100709-1_i386.deb'.

Thanks guys [11:20] david__, you can certainly go there, and ask about the debian-installer way to do it (alternate cd) but currently not an option [11:20] david__, welcome [11:20] bazhang: I have it running: marvic + btrfs [11:21] david__, yep, that's the correct channel for support and discussion as its the development version [11:21] bazhang: but I need linux-vserver and these are not yet available for marvic but a repo exists that provides them for lucid [11:21] minimec, it gives me no choices.. just lame 800 x 600 [11:21] why usb-creator freezes after i pressed create-startup-disk? [11:22] seems like I have to compile my own kernel [11:22] I have this hp machine that I wanto to put ubuntu on, but I do not want to loose the OS of HP also that boots up before windows does and gives me webbrowse etc options [11:22] david__: maverick not marvic ;) [11:22] i see installing but it doesn't do anything [11:22] so if install, will i lose the HP OS [11:22] minimec: oh ;) [11:22] u will lose hp os if you install ubuntu ova it [11:23] webczat, tried unetbootin? [11:23] volatile_rinc: thats sad, is there a way out? i really dont want to run ubntun on a virtual machine [11:24] itsux2bu: So try to activate the restricted driver in ->system->administration->HArdware Drivers... Then reboot...

[14:24] KE1HA: I see - well, then maybe better use the non-opensource edition... [14:24] ortsvorsteher: Audio not audio [14:24] furuno: that's alll that's needed ( and remove the script if you are not going to use it ) [14:24] I read getting google earth on Lucid was a problem jasonmchristos [14:25] blue_anna: sounds like you otta put cabextract back in... lol [14:25] yes minimec, i tried Audio [14:25] olskolirc: i dunno ive had it on karmic and havent tried it it runs much better on windoz anyway === Zirts is now known as Vector_NET [14:26] ortsvorsteher: Stupid me... lspci |grep Audio [14:26] I dont understand .. I mean its not required for linux packages .. its required for microsoft updates and stuff [14:26] in my experience [14:26] its basically the old Z "zip" format [14:26] noname, the same package manager you used to try to install flashplugin-insyaller [14:26] with fixded block sizes [14:26] minimec, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [14:26] it always ran better for me on linux jasonmchristos and i can run virtualbox at the same time without cpu problems unlike windows [14:26] erUSUL: Just in case, I want to check the global bash profile, but I forget where it is... any enlightment? [14:26] i used terminal for that [14:26] and I was having this problem before I removed cabextract [14:27] BluesKaj: iused terminal for that [14:27] olskolirc: well im not ure i did it on karmc and had no problems try and figure out why it is crashing [14:27] blue_anna: maybe cabextract was a pre-requisite for the next on the list?... :( [14:27] in fact, this is the problem I -had- removing cabextract [14:27] furuno: /etc/profile ? /etc/skel/.profile ? you should know what files you edited [14:27] im on Lucid jasonmchristos [14:27] ** upgrading it [14:27] noname, look in the panel [14:27] its a tuffy [14:27] blue_anna: apt-cache rdepends cabextract [14:27] i have the crash log but im to exhuasted to go through it or use pastebin jasonmchristos [14:27] there are a few things in that list [14:28] but I know that at least some of them are not installed [14:28] olskolirc: yes i know alls i can offer is try to figure out why it is crashing, seems like if its crashing its already installed [14:28] blue_anna: try what erUSUL suggested [14:28] like liborange and orange, I saw that in synaptic when I went to deinstall cabextract -- it wasnt ever isntalled [14:28] collabra, I did [14:28] ortsvorsteher: Did you see that post (just found that) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036508 [14:28] collabra, it lists things regardless of whether they are actually installed [14:28] blue_anna: Ah,.. and...? [14:28] collabra: blue_anna that only shows the packges that need cabextract [14:28] olskolirc: get some rest and things will come together much easier try again tomorrow [14:28] i should dump 057 and use an older one jasonmchristos [14:29] olskolirc: 057? [14:29] version [14:29] 0.5.7 [14:29] of google earth? [14:29] BluesKaj : panel .(Applications -Places - system) pachage manager under which opetion ? [14:29] yeah [14:29] collabra, I did the uninstall through synaptic -- so before it had problems it first uninstalled the depeneds I had that had it .. there was just the ttf microsoft installer [14:29] minimec, so i try to switch back to alsa and after that i try that link which you gave me. thank you [14:29] ortsvorsteher: The line you pasted is a good start for bug tracking... http://www.google.ch/search?hl=de&source=hp&q=Intel%20Corporation%2082801I%20ubuntu&meta=&aq=f&oq= [14:30] i usually go with the newest version unless for some reason it wont work [14:30] ortsvorsteher: No problem. [14:30] :) [14:30] erUSUL: I guess I've cleaned the files... just in case should I just reinstall bash completion? [14:30] but this is the first thing I noticed .. cabextract was hanging when being updated .. during the unpackaging. it sat overnight, never completed [14:30] noname, sources [14:30] i have a dell computer that i have to use old karmic intel drivers for but its rrunning lucid or else it will crash xorg [14:30] now thats gone, and Im running the updates .. and it is hanging on the next (unrelated) file in the update list [14:31] furuno: if you only did what that page says there shouldn't be needed [14:31] it had that problem in karmic also though [14:31] so it looks slike something more fundamental than cabextract was the issue all along [14:31] noname or you could do alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources list and remove the # from the deb url repositories then in the terminal. sudo apt-get update , then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [14:31] i have Meerkat in virtualbox jasonmchristos ITS SWEET - when it gets stable its going to rock [14:31] but it seems xorg doesnt want to fix it its an problem thats been repored [14:31] erUSUL: well, will try rebooting now (reinstalled video driver), thanks! [14:31] whats meerkat? [14:31] BluesKaj : well now the answer is clear [14:31] :) [14:31] the new ubuntu coming out in October jasonmchristos [14:31] blue_anna: I always use aptitude for installing and uninstalling.... I feel i have more control... like when uninstalling,... I'll pick the package I want to uninstall,... then select the depends and the recommends,... hit enter and it automatically keeps the packages i need and uninstalls the orphans [14:31] BluesKaj :thanks [14:32] RC3 is out now jasonmchristos [14:32] kinda like a praerie rat [14:32] oh cool [14:32] olskolirc: No, Alpha 3. [14:32] collabra, this was the system automatic update :P [14:32] oops [14:32] symbolic link on front end not showing up in mounted dir when both symlink folder and original file folder are both mounted locally in exact same dirs [14:32] noname, you're welcome [14:32] I've got an older HP Pavilion tx1000 and trying to figure out how to get both cores to work, at the moment only one of them is working [14:32] collabra, I didnt do a damn thing to start this, just turn on my computer the other day [14:32] blue_anna: that would be frustrating [14:32] Can anyone help me with this [14:33] i am having a problem where disk usge ana. says i have 4.1 gb in the log directory but when i open it in the file browser it says 2.5 gb freespace which doesnt make snse to me [14:33] I think I broke apt-get. I was trying to install flashplugin-nonfree, but due to some issues with it not properly respecting $HTTP_PROXY or ctrl+c interrupts, I killed the process. Now nothing works with apt-get. [14:33] I still dont understand why cabextract is getting yearly updates .. nothing about that software has changed in _at least_ 20 years [14:33] hello. is there a way to shring a linux partition ? [14:33] for as long as microsoft was a major company [14:33] blue_anna: Have you looked at the changelogs? [14:34] sburjan samba [14:34] debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [14:34] bobthemilkman: open a console and type sudo dpkg --configure -a in it. Close synaptic before... [14:34] <_raven_> how to run ubuntu as openMOSIX-host? [14:34] erUSUL: well, I got "normal" bash completion but cannot have autocompletion with apt-get... [14:34] jasonmchristos, : not to share, to shrink .. to make it smaller [14:34] minimec: Done it, does nothing. [14:34] Also gives me the same error about resource temporarily unavailable. [14:34] blue_anna: the linux community,... or ubuntu,.. need to come up with some sort of system restore for linux. [14:35] bobthemilkman: ok. sudo apt-get update [14:35] update works. [14:35] <_raven_> how to run ubuntu as openMOSIX-host? [14:35] bobthemilkman: ok. sudo apt-get upgrade [14:35] hey all, does anyone know the best way to mount the SAME drive to the SAME mount point everytime? i have 2 externals but one time they may sdc another time it could be sdd [14:35] upgrade doesn't. [14:35] "2 not fully installed or removed." then same error. === oligo is now known as trainhax [14:35] bobthemilkman: error mesage? [14:35] "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable" [14:35] I wouldnt know where to restore it to if I did it [14:36] sburjan im sure there is a way not sure if gparted would do it or not [14:36] I never saw what broke, I just saw afterwards, when my system apparently started having problems unextracting all deb files [14:36] thanks [14:36] bobthemilkman: ok. there is another apt process hanging... [14:36] There isn't. ps -ef | grep apt only returns the grep command. [14:36] hmm according to some threda in a forum, I seems to be missing "/etc/bash_completion", anyone kind enough to give me a sample? [14:37] pgrep apt returns nothing. [14:37] bobthemilkman: If there is no other package software open, I would consider a reboot to kill that process. You can also kill it in the gnome-system-monitor, I guess. [14:37] or should I just reinstall bash_completion? [14:37] minimec: There is no process. [14:37] furuno: that'd be simplest, i think [14:37] Hold up, the problem fixed itself. [14:37] bobthemilkman, sudo dpkg --configure -a [14:38] I think when I killed apt-get before, there was a hanging thread or something. [14:38] Anyway, it's fixed itself after about 10 minutes. [14:38] bobthemilkman: That's the calssic error message. Try a reboot first. [14:38] furuno: reinstall the package then... [14:38] blue_anna: you're making me a little pensive about having my system automatically update. [14:38] The problem just went away. [14:38] wow I see like a dozen dpkg apps running here [14:38] bobthemilkman: So we are lucky ;) [14:38] sipioir, erUSUL: did that, now all's good :) many thanks === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [14:39] minimec: If you call having the latest version of flashplayer lucky :( [14:39] furuno: ... you did more ( damage ) that what that web page said.... [14:39] I swear to God, every single thing about flash makes me want to kill myself. [14:39] erUSUL: indeed [14:39] yeah [14:40] it eats too much CPU power for just a simple youtube video [14:40] is it safe to delete whats in var/log [14:40] err .. they don't respond to kill -9 either [14:40] guess Im gonna reboot [14:40] hello === Guest93778 is now known as LjL-Temp [14:40] bobthemilkman: I do agree, but I was rather thinking about a sane package system ;) [14:40] question: is it safe to delete whats in var/log [14:40] blue_anna: that's what i'd do... [14:40] jasonmchristos: if it is a file too big; it is safer to zero it [14:40] In that sense, yes, I'm lucky :P === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest63498 [14:41] hi guys...quick question. I want to download the 10.04 iso...using grub2, will I need to place this somewhere in order to boot from it, or can I just double-click the iso from the HDD? [14:41] erUSUL: i have 4.1gb of logs its rediculous [14:41] mikebeecham: you'll need to burn the ISO to a CD [14:41] <_raven_> how to run ubuntu as openMOSIX-host? [14:42] jasonmchristos: first findo out the culprit ( the actual log file) then check what is spamming the log [14:42] furuno, someone mentioned that Grub2 would allow me to do it differently somehow? [14:42] mikebeecham: if you're using windows 7, there's should be very easy, just select the ISO and choose Burn Disc Image from the menu [14:42] erUSUL: i think i t might be system mail [14:42] furuno, Ubuntu [14:42] hey guys currently my /usr/bin/java points to alternative, how can I make this use the sun java? [14:42] jcrawford: sudo update-alternatives --config java [14:42] i have something sending every ip connection to my usemail [14:42] I'm using 10.04, and I want to do a completely clean install...I've been using linux 3 years and think I've built up loads of rubbish [14:42] I was going to start fresh [14:42] I've removed /var/lib/posgresql, and removed all the postgres related packages, now I'm trying to re-install all of them but its not re-creating the directory or the binaries needed. [14:43] mikebeecham: GRUB2 is a bootloader, which give you the ability to choose what operating system you want to use in a pc with more than one OS (like Win7 and Ubuntu) [14:43] any suggestions on how to fix this? [14:43] furuno, so it might be better to just download to a Pen Drive [14:43] I dont have blank CDs [14:43] hmm says there is a manual and auto mode both point to the same java-6-sun so it seems it is using sun :) [14:43] mikebeecham: using a pendrive is fine too (and actually faster) [14:43] I need a rubiks cube application. which do I use? [14:43] are tehr eany? [14:43] ther e* [14:43] jcrawford, place a copy of sun java in usr/bin. that's the normal dir for app executables [14:43] jcrawford: Is sun java installed? How did you install it? Via the Partner repository? [14:44] furuno, will do that then....as an aside. Is this something that is actually advised on Linux, or am I still looking at this from a Windows persepctive? [14:45] mikebeecham: actually, I do a lot of install using a pendrive [14:45] will a 2Gb pen drive be sufficient? [14:45] mikebeecham: yes, you'll only need about 700 MB [14:45] i am using 10.x ubuntu. cpu on flash video is high, even after i press pause. how to fix? [14:46] ok...and furuno , back to my previous question. Reinstalling...is this really an advised thing to do? [14:46] my windows machine, upon clicking of pause, cpu drops to 10%. [14:46] or am I still too windows-oriented? [14:46] mikebeecham: you want to reinstall Ubuntu? [14:46] hello [14:46] furuno, yessir...I reckon after 3 years I've collected too much rubbish on my hdd [14:46] a clean reinstall seemed a good way to go [14:46] wipe the HDD and start again [14:46] mikebeecham: it's completely OK [14:47] nvm.. got it [14:47] ubuntu - designed from the ground up with fault tolerance in mind [14:47] hello [14:47] that is, with the idea that you shouldbe fault tolerant [14:47] furuno, well, lets hope it goes well...I've only installed linux once 3 years ago...and even then had help. Someone told me recently to create a second partition for files....a / partition...correct? [14:48] anyone knows what Firewall Throughput in munin displays ? [14:48] mikebeecham: nope, linux installation is *much* more easier these days [14:48] a little problem, when i`m switching to tty1 i`ve got just a blinking cursor. Anyone knows how to fix it [14:48] mikebeecham: and you can always chat while you're installing :) [14:48] Hello. I have the problem that whenever I try to copy large files to a usb-stick, the copy-speed varies a lot and stalls sometimes inbetween. And it *especially* stalls, after the copy-process is over (0 seconds left). I mean, Nautilus' copy-process window stays open for a very long time. [14:48] furuno, oh? Can I? [14:49] mikebeecham: yes, because Ubuntu is a live cd [14:49] oh mind you...I'll have irc on my windows machine...would you mind me asking lots of annoying questions whilst I go through the install process? [14:49] hi, im looking at setting up an ubuntu server install as a semi-router/server install.. pretty much the only thing i want it to do at the moment is act as a DNS server, i want to pipe all office DNS quereies via the server so that i am able to filter out certain ones from being accessed in the office.. all the routing and ip assignment is done via an off the shelf router for now. does anyone have any sort of guide for setting this type of system up [14:49] <_raven_> how to run ubuntu as openMOSIX-host? [14:49] Mrokii: well, it how it'll work, at the end, it's looks like Linux is "finalizing" the file [14:49] blue_anna: ... you there? [14:49] hi [14:50] mikebeecham: you can even use IRC from the ubuntu installation, just try it [14:50] Hi. What can get login for irc.freenode [14:50] why there is no modem support for ubuntu :( [14:50] _raven_: I thought openMOSIX only worked on 2.4 kernels?

I'm trying to backup my netbook via ethernet and ssh but every time my netbook turns off its display due to inactivity my other comp stops copying files how do I prevent my comp from shutting off its display or whatnot?

[15:12] erry, probably not "everything" [15:12] Anyone? [15:12] Sahr: does dmesg|tail say something like "disconnected by local choice; reason=3" ? [15:12] ivers_, i don't think that is an option for me [15:12] erry, mine has 2 line --- line 1= auto lo --- and line 2 = iface lo inet loopback [15:12] Let me have a look ayekat [15:12] online on brasil [15:12] !pt | monitor [15:12] monitor: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [15:13] ZykoticK9, i put mine like that and restarted networking [15:13] but it wont do [15:13] Sahr, you have use the encryption you set the router up to use and if needed a user password [15:13] Nope ayekat, want me to copy what it comes up with? [15:13] Sahr, what type of encryption are you using WEP / WAP ? try turning it off and connecting first, then enable and try it again to see if it connects. [15:13] I've search for days on how to run multiple ftp servers, and i got nothing, can someone help me out with this? [15:13] erry: You will have to logout the session and login again. [15:13] KE1HA, I have tried all types of different encryption, even without enryption it does not work [15:13] Sahr: Well, no, it's just that I also had some wireless problems [15:13] minimec, but if i do that maybe internet will break forever [15:13] I don't want to [15:14] then i'll have to re-install again [15:14] >< [15:14] well i have to restart anyway [15:14] /whois ivers [15:14] ops [15:14] bb [15:14] Sahr, ok, try it without a password on the router. === ivers_ is now known as ivers [15:14] KE1HA done that already, no luck [15:14] it keeps trying to connect and connect and failing, only difference is it does not ask me for a password [15:15] with ubuntu on dual screen, how can i have 2 different backgroud pictures on the laptop screen and on the external screen? [15:15] anyone know how to change the control and data ports that vsftpd uses? [15:15] Sahr, pass then, not much more I can suggest then. [15:15] Ok ke1ha mate [15:15] Sahr, what kind of wifi , on a laptop or usb adapter or...? [15:15] Its a odd problem, and I have no idea whats wrong with it [15:15] using a Broadcom Driver on a dell Mini 10 Blues [15:16] lol Sahr [15:16] install firmware [15:16] KomiaPoika, do both screens act as a single large desktop? or are then completely independent X windows? [15:16] With wpa-psk encryption [15:16] How do you check which files an installed package provides? [15:16] Sahr: have you installed firmware ? [15:16] Yeah ivers, I installed all the drivers [15:16] I will be so glad with the kernel supports all these these broadcomm cards ! [15:16] Sahr, b ut what kind of connection to your dell mini , usb wifi or pci ? [15:17] Wifi using WPA-PSK [15:17] Ok it works [15:17] but now my notification area disappeared [15:17] On mt dell, I had to update firmware for WPA-PSK. [15:17] nvm its there [15:17] sorry [15:17] >< [15:17] oracle owns linux... lol. [15:17] !enter > erry [15:17] erry, please see my private message [15:18] sorry :( [15:18] !ot | collabra [15:18] collabra: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:18] Hmmmmm [15:18] I cant figure out what is wrong with it [15:18] Please,... ZykoticK9... I'm just finishing a conversation. [15:19] Hi all [15:19] Sahr, I'll ask one more time ...what kind of connection to your dell mini , usb wifi or pci ? [15:19] WIFI blueskaj === Guest25300 is now known as michealH [15:19] Said it 2 times mate [15:19] i want to use a script mIRC, like other script with windows [15:19] * BluesKaj bangs his head on the dek [15:20] LOL === michealH is now known as MichealH [15:20] Or do you meen something else BluesKaj? [15:20] Sahr: BluesKaj wants to know if you're using an internal adapter or something that plugs in your usb port. [15:20] Ooohh [15:20] Using a wireless card, so a internal adapter I would think? [15:20] (Not really that good with this stuff, sorry) [15:21] Btw, anybody got wireless to work on a toshiba t110? [15:21] ZykoticK9: are independants X display areas [15:21] I have rtl8187se card and it causes kernel panics [15:22] I posted a bug report about it which nobody seemed to pay attention to [15:22] erry, Not a T110, but on an ASUS-A6V my RT carrd is working wiht WPA [15:22] KE1HA, rtl8187se? [15:22] KomiaPoika: So they have different size and you don't use compiz? [15:22] KE1HA, it matters. rtl8187b which i have in another laptop works fine, but se won't. [15:22] what is compiz? [15:23] yes, they have different sizes [15:23] Im not sure which one it is specificalyl, but it's an 8-Series RT card I know htat [15:23] KE1HA, well seems i got really unlucky with the specific model./ [15:23] Ahh, ok [15:23] Although it may be a combination of the card and something else on that netbook, n/i [15:23] KomiaPoika: the 3D Gimmick Desktop. What happens if you do arrow right? [15:24] minimec: it changes virtual desktop [15:24] If the prob was the card and i loaded it on another computer without that card, would it panic or just not load it cause the hardware isnt' there? [15:24] Well guys, thanks for the help anyway [15:24] Sahr, ok do lspci in the terminal and tell us what is listed as either mobile/ network devices, or pastebin the list p;s. [15:24] BluesKaj, I gotta go in about 10 mins man [15:24] erry, did you looke at the UB-WiFI docs ? [15:24] BluesKaj, Ok I will look tho [15:24] !compiz | KomiaPoika [15:24] KomiaPoika: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [15:24] KomiaPoika: do you get a smoll window that indicates the change or a big transparent one? [15:24] KE1HA, don't think so [15:25] also, i don't have any sound when i plug speakers [15:25] KE1HA, it's not just that it doesn't work... It crashes the system [15:25] i use gnome [15:25] erry, it's for 804 / 9.10 but worth a shot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [15:25] KE1HA, B works fine. [15:25] KE1HA, i have a problem with SE\ [15:25] I'm trying to install a wusb54g v1 on ubuntu lucid, the device is recognized in lsusb but I cant bring it up with iwconfig [15:25] minimec: a small transparent rectangle [15:25] BluesKaj uploading to pastebin 2 mins [15:26] also, i have video in flash player, but i cant play any video with xine, vlc or mplayer [15:26] Sahr, ok good [15:26] KomiaPoika: not all at the same time... [15:26] erry,: http://www.eukhost.com/forums/f15/have-realtek-rtl8187se-wireless-ubuntu-will-work-7093/ [15:27] seem after 9.10 is shold eb supproted out of the Box, are yo sure the cards functional ? [15:27] when i try to play a video file, i get some vague line on top of the screen, but not any playback [15:27] !medibuntu | KomiaPoika [15:27] KomiaPoika: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:27] BluesKaj http://pastebin.com/gF6wwqSB [15:27] i have medibuntu [15:27] ok [15:27] thanks. i'll try it out. [15:27] When i had googled, i didn't see that thread :p [15:27] Hi, any idea why my gnome-volume control is using 100mb of memory? [15:27] !enter | erry [15:27] erry: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:27] KomiaPoika: COUld you just start with one screen first, before we plug the 2nd. That would help us. [15:28] KomiaPoika, youll find the required repos for libdvdcss2 etc there [15:28] i have [15:28] AND ALSO I have something else that someone told me to enter, dunno if this helps [15:28] http://pastebin.com/hdtCMghE [15:28] I had a weird problem where no mouse click or key press would do anything, but the mouse would move fine, so I had to drop power hard to the computer and restart. What could be causing it? Using Lucid with all supported updates. [15:29] hi there...can anyone help me partition my hard disk for new Ubuntu install [15:29] it's telling me that I have sda1 and sda5 (swap) [15:29] is this all I need? [15:30] mikebeecham, what sort of install are you wanting to do ? [15:30] um [15:30] KE1HA, the binaries in that forum are for an older kernel.. [15:30] is it ok to get them anywya\/ [15:30] KE1HA: I'm wanting to format my hard drive and reinstall 10.04 onto it [15:30] erry, according to the WiFI docs, ur card is natively supported, so I dont dont know what the deal is there. [15:31] KE1HA, it crashes the system if i load the driver. [15:31] mikebeecham, ok, so a complete installaiton, no other OS on th3e drive ? [15:31] !broadcom | Sahr [15:31] Sahr: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [15:31] KE1HA: I originally put the swap partition on there because I was dual-booting...I'm no longer doing that [15:31] KE1HA, perhaps if it didn't crash the system it would work [15:31] KE1HA: only Ubuntu now [15:31] mikebeecham: KE1HA: I told him on #ubuntu+1, that he should consider a seperate /home partition for his data, and maybe an SWAP=RAM partition for suspend... [15:31] BluesKaJ looking now mate [15:31] mikebeecham, I'd recommend using the option, to "Use The Entire Drive" is you dont want to Dual-Boot anymore. [15:31] how can i output a diff between two folders, recursively? [15:31] (i'm in the maintanence shell) [15:32] This is the third time, on two different PCs i run into problems after installing ubuntu, it failing to boot of the right HDD after installing a boot sector on the correct HDD [15:32] jimmy51_: diff -ur dir1/ dir2/ [15:32] KE1HA: is minimec's advice of good use to me? about a seperate /home partition for data? [15:33] pZombie: I had the same problem. Try reinstalling grub with a live DVD [15:33] :( [15:33] mikebeecham, that's an option for Manually partitioning, yes, but it's more complicated. [15:33] mikebeecham: I would at least go with the SWAP=RAM [15:33] geirha: thanks. [15:33] My laptop hard disk temperature is 91° C, should I be worried? (I did see some bad sectors...) [15:33] minimec: with only 1 screen, i can play a video, but with 2 monitors, the videos are black or grey [15:33] Something is going seriously wrong with linux distros or ubuntu distros developement. How hard can it be to put a few bits on a sector for the boot loader to check if the partition is actually the right one? [15:33] collabra: I already have a 3Gb swap on there [15:33] honestly this is unexcusable [15:33] pZombie, what is ? [15:33] KomiaPoika: So. With one screen, for you everything seems ok? Is that true? [15:34] mikebeecham, for a standard installation, you need 3 partitions, /boot /swap and /root and that's it, using RAM for swap is not standard. [15:34] KE1HA: so currently I have a 76Gb Ext3, and a 3Gb Swap...is this ok? [15:34] yes [15:34] Yes [15:34] ugh [15:34] now it wont read my usb [15:34] how can I fix "locale" issues between different ubuntu and debian machines? some have $LANG=C some have $LANG=..._utf8. [15:34] is it possible to connect to a VPN only for one ssh connection and have the rest of my network traffic stay on my "normal" connection? [15:34] installing ubuntu or other linux distros which install fine, and then the distros being too stupid to set grub up properly to boot from the right partition for WHATEVER reason [15:34] Hmm BluesKaj I got a message when I entered sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl [15:34] KE1HA: I only have two partitions... [15:34] eek [15:34] the reason of course is, that they try to boot of some other HDD/partition after the splash screen [15:35] WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release. [15:35] KomiaPoika: ok. Do you use any driver of the ->system->administration->HArdware Dirver for your Graphics CArd? [15:35] It said that 3 times in a row [15:35] mikebeecham: you don't need the /boot if you have the /root === tarzeau_ is now known as tarzeau [15:35] mikebeecham, I dont knwo why your tryignt o set you partitions manually, yo dont knwo how to do it, however, like I said, you need three /boot /toot and /swap. [15:35] this could be prevented so easy by installing some bitcode on a specific sector location the boot sequence looks for when in doubt [15:35] minimec: checking [15:35] pZombie, if it's so easy do it yourself [15:35] * erry hides [15:35] sri /boot /root /swap [15:35] mikebeecham; http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ there is a rather long video that takes you through the partition options here. You need to scroll to find the partition video. [15:35] confused KE1HA and collabra seems to be contradicting each other [15:36] minimec: no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [15:36] erry - easy for those who are developing. i am not involved but allow me to theorize about it, yes? [15:36] mikebeecham: i think keisha is talking,... you need a /boot if you are encrypting your entire drive,... if you are not you do not need the /boot [15:36] mikebeecham, Im not, My Advise, is to Use the Install CD and Do a Full disk Install. If you choose to partition manuallt, I can't help you. [15:36] KomiaPoika: Ok. That's not so bad, as everything should be handled by the system. [15:36] Anyone using Kerberos with Ubuntu 10.04 ? [15:36] mikebeecham: /root will suffice [15:36] minimec: it's a macbook [15:37] KE1HA: collabra thanks guys [15:37] Funnny, i have more complaints about windows which costs some hudreds of dolars than about linux which is free [15:37] I'm going automatic :D [15:37] I just wanna make sure, init 0 sutdowns and init 1 reboots, right? [15:37] mikebeecham: lol [15:37] erry - at least windows detects all my harddrives and does not fail to boot after an install [15:37] Sahr, what is the message ? [15:37] BluesKaj WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release. [15:37] ubuntu seems to have problems with more than one harddrive installed [15:38] pZombie, never had that problem [15:38] pZombie: For how long have you been using linux?? [15:38] It repeated that 3 times in a row BluesKaj mate [15:38] ok, after a DIFF check it seems many files are missing on my target. how can i order only a copy of the different/missing files? [15:38] guys, is using RELOAD option with SERVICE command , equivalent to process SIGNAL 1 = SIGHUP ( which r [15:38] Signal name Signal number [15:38] KomiaPoika: Now I want you to go to go to ->system->preferences->Appearence in the 'Visual Efects TAb' Select 'None' there. [15:38] SIGTERM 15 [15:38] eread the configuration file. [15:38] harmandeep: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:38] pZombie, i have a single hdd but multiple partitions [15:38] which re-reads the config file [15:39] the german - i used linux quite often, but only when needed it for special tasks. it s not really worth the time and effort trying to fix all problems it has. [15:39] minimec: was already on none [15:39] if i was to write software, i would first write my own OS [15:39] Can any one tell me what is wrong with mac number 01:1E:90:D9:4C:5B? I cannot change the mac number of laptop to that same mac thoaugh it can be changed to other mac numbers? [15:39] pZombie, is there a quesiton in that somwhere ? [15:39] pZombie, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:39] i only have problems with wireless, but i can't really compl--- crap, i got the 32-bit. [15:40] pZombie: This isn't a complaint channel, its a support channel. If you'd like support, ask. If you want to make a suggestion, try http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [15:40] um [15:40] KE1HA, those binaries you linked me to are 32 bit and i have 64 bit [15:40] KomiaPoika: ok. now. PLug the 2nd monitor and go to ->system->preferences->monitors [15:40] the question is, why does ubuntu install on a HDD and then try to boot from another? [15:40] minimec: i see a vague 1 line animation on 1st line of the big monitor when i try to play a video [15:40] erry, Sri mate, that's the only one I could find. [15:40] and where do i fix this? [15:40] Alcohol52, i notice all my MAC addresses start 00, certainly not sure that's the issue ;) Goog luck man. [15:40] minimec: im there [15:40] KomiaPoika: We are not yet there... [15:40] I have been hitting Google looking for help, has anyone seen issues with Switch User on 32-bit installs? I have two machines with troubles there.... [15:41] pZombie: Maybe it is configured wrong in your BIOS??!! [15:41] Guys, what is the difference b/w RELOAD and RESTART options with SERVICE command , is RELOAD equivalent to process SIGNAL 1 = SIGHUP ( which re-reads daemon config file , instead of restarting it completely ) ??? [15:41] isn't there a way to force 32 bit [15:41] KomiaPoika: Do you see both monitors in there now? [15:41] theres a command but i cant remember [15:41] yes$ [15:41] (please bear with me, I am relatively rusty at IRC) [15:41] the_german then why does windows have no problems with it? [15:41] pZombie, well it all depends on how you installed, how did you perform the Ubuntu Installation ? [15:41] with correct resolution === Guest63498 is now known as LjL-Temp [15:41] pZombie, retorical question, we can't answer Windows Questions === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest28122 [15:42] pZombie: I am not aware of your whole configuration that is why we are all just speculating here... [15:42] KomiaPoika: NOw configure both monitors. First do 'detect monitors'. You can also choose the position with drag&drop on a monitor [15:42] ke1ha - i installed from my USB hdd made bootable to act like a CDrom, using unetbootin. Ubuntu 10.4 server, detected only one of my HDDs , i just used the whole HDD. It installed all, then when booting, i got only the splash screen, and it just got stuck. [15:42] minimec: i already done that [15:42] :harmandeep - I think you have it right, reload re-reads the configs (if supported), restart kills the process and starts a new one. [15:42] KE1HA, it says r8180 wasnt found [15:43] thanks stefan33 [15:43] :harmandeep Side note....dhcpd does not support reload, must restart. [15:43] I am connecting to another machine, looking at a unicode file there, and some characters do not show well (multiple characters for certain unicode ones). What could be the problem? [15:43] (there is a long discussion of this in the man pages) [15:43] pZombie, what chipset is you machine running ? [15:43] KomiaPoika: Ok. SO you have both monitors in front of you and on one of them there is a panel, but not on the other? [15:43] erry, sri, I can't help any further on that one. [15:44] wish someone could [15:44] it s a p6x58d-e asus motherboard with a x58 chipset [15:44] Sahr, what's the output if you do , sudo apt-get install broadcom-wl [15:44] i7-930 cpu [15:44] stefan33, if you want to re-load dhcp use "sudo dhclient eth0" for example [15:44] does it means that dhcpd doesn't represent RELOAD option in SERVICE command ? [15:44] hi, can I print ubuntu logo on T-shirt for free? [15:44] Testing [15:44] KE1HA, maybe if i update the kernel? [15:44] KomiaPoika: What software are you using? [15:44] minimec: yes, the small monitor has the panel, the big monitor has only windows [15:45] pZombie, abd this is a native install, not a Virtual VM install ? [15:45] ZykoticK9: I have a desktop with THAT MAC number and connected to internal lan that uses mac filtering for internet connection. I want to use laptop to connect to that network since my desktop is down. [15:45] :harmandeep - I believe it will balk if given a reload command....if it doesn't...I know it will not re-read the config file (from experience). [15:45] minimec: i can't play video with any player, each of that works when only 1 monitor is active [15:45] BluesKaj, E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [15:45] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [15:45] Alcohol52, sorry i gave my 2 cents worth - but that's all I got ;) Good luck man. [15:45] . [15:45] ke1ha - this is a native 10.4 lucid lynx server install. all installed fine. after the reboot, splash appeared, then stuck [15:45] ok [15:45] erry, pass mate, have no idea why it's not working. [15:45] did my laptop just turn itself on? [15:46] :harmandeep - I don't remember the specifics, but basically the developers talked about the issues with concurrency or some such and suggested if it really bothered someone, they could try and come up with a solution...they had much bigger fish to fry. I would love to help them out...but I too am lacking time (and skill) and not that bothered by it. [15:46] ke1ha - installed on a single 250gb HDD using default partitioning it suggested. It failed to detect my second 250gb hdd. it failed to detect my 80gb SSD [15:46] pZombie, well there's many bugs on the Black Screen After Boot issue, I would only be guessing if I said I know the specific problem. [15:46] hi, can I print ubuntu logo on T-shirt for free? [15:46] :harmandeep - the restart takes all of a couple seconds, and dhcpd isn't exactly under "constant" use. [15:46] Sahr,sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [15:46] KomiaPoika: This was a laptop right? What monitor is configured as main monitor? [15:46] (ie, little harm in restart vs. reload) [15:47] pZombie, SSD technology is not fully supported in Linux. [15:47] ok [15:47] BluesKaj, Gonna have to pastebin this one, its asking me Y/N, give me a sec [15:47] shleda: See http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy , particularly the part about Permitted use. There is a 'contact us' link on that page for more information. [15:47] ZykoticK9: I may be mistaken I will recheck the mac tomorrow. Thanks any way [15:48] I have / before /home, /home is almost full, and / have at leas 30 GB free, so I want to reduce / and expand /home, is it too dangerous to do this? [15:48] Pici: thanks, i will look at it [15:48] BluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/zdgF08Vj [15:48] Do I press Yes Or No [15:48] minimec: the laptop's monitor has the taskbars [15:48] Can you remind me which is the file that says [15:48] Sahr, it means you have either a pckage manager or another terminal open which is attempting to execute a command [15:48] Search lan [15:48] domain whatever [15:48] pZombie, and for a Native server install, what splash are you referring too, as the service install does not install X11 [15:48] i really cant remember [15:48] Ahh right [15:48] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:49] BluesKaj, So I should press yes? [15:49] ke1ha - the initial ubuntu splash screen, with the dots below flashing [15:49] Please [15:49] erry: Please stop pressing enter between every two words, you've been told this a number of times already. I will be forced to remove you if you continue. [15:49] -_- [15:49] BluesKaj, This is what I get [15:49] Kill process 1930 ? (y/N) y [15:49] dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [15:49] can you please tell me what the file is? [15:49] pZombie, that's my point, the server installation doesn't ahve a "splash screen" [15:49] erry: Your are looking for /etc/resolv.conf I believe [15:49] thanks [15:49] (your -> you) [15:50] Sahr, close the other terminal or the pkg manager , whichever is open [15:50] ke1ha - cannot be. it was the server i installed... it has a splash. [15:50] KomiaPoika: Your problem seems to be hardware related. Check glxinfo and glxgears (sudo apt-get install mesa-utils). [15:50] Ok [15:50] pZombie, ok. [15:50] ke1ha - maybe it was because i installed the ubuntu desktop as package as well? [15:50] erry: 'man resolv.conf' should give you lots of info on the behavior and get you well on your way. [15:50] Hey, Ubuntu only allows me to choose 6 channel and 8 channel audio... I just want 2 channels :/ [15:50] ke1ha - you installed the raw server only? [15:50] stefan33, i know how it works i just forgot its name [15:50] pZombie, I would say, yes, that is most likely the problem. [15:51] erry: No worries, just making sure you can get all the info you might need :) [15:51] KomiaPoika: CAn you give me your exact type of MacBook? [15:51] pZombie, I ahve installe "many" servers and have never seen a splach screen. [15:51] oosp splash screen. [15:51] Sorry to ask again, but anyone on here seen issues with Switch User? [15:51] BluesKaj, I did it then reentered the command, this is what I got [15:51] http://pastebin.com/eihfc36Z [15:51] (or better yet know of solutions for Switch User making X have problems, garbling the screen?) [15:52] i picked quite a few packages from the standard. i have no clue with what servers are actually good for. all i care about is getting xen ready and several OSes on top, just to see how this is supposed to work [15:52] pZombie, Ensure you ISO says ubuntu-server-arch.ISO, where ach is either i386 or amd64 [15:52] minimec: a white macbook from 2007 [15:53] bazhang, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [15:53] minimec: what should i do with glxinfo and glxgears [15:53] my lan is messed up ;/ [15:53] Sahr, did you run sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source , already? [15:53] KomiaPoika: They are almost all white... ;) Is that the small tiny version? [15:53] erry: HOw big is your LAN? [15:53] Dear Bazhang, I would greatly appreciate it if you could teach me the secret of life when it comes to successfully getting the Atheros AR5001 wireless card working in Ubuntu 10.04. [15:53] stefan33, a few computers [15:53] !resetpanels [15:53] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:53] but i just got a new isp and router [15:54] KomiaPoika: Check if you have direct rendering with both screens activated. [15:54] pZombie, well I would say that "I have noe clue" is the problem. Download the proper Server ISO, and istall that pse. [15:54] erry: All running Linux? [15:54] and now they won't resolve eachother [15:54] stefan33, yeah [15:54] and i have to get their ips each time [15:54] that's really frusterating [15:54] OK...problem lies in the router, not Linux most likely. [15:54] I'm currently reformatting my HDD and using the partitioner within the Ubuntu install to carry out the work resizing partitions. it's now been at 50% for about 10 minutes now...is that about right? [15:54] stefan33, i know -_- [15:54] or should I be worrying? [15:54] What is your DNS set as on the boxes? Is it the router or your ISP? [15:54] Hmm, BluesKaj is it saying I have yes, and everything there is installed [15:54] ke1ha - http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-server-amd64.iso this is what i downloaded [15:54] minimec: i have 3300 fps on both screens [15:54] ke1ha - this is not the server? [15:55] E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) how to remove this? [15:55] if i compile a glade-sharp project using monodevelop and specify that it create both linux and win32 binaries... am i to expect that the win32 binaries would run on windowsXP with at least .Net3.5? [15:55] bcmwl-kernel-source is already the newest version. [15:55] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [15:55] Hey guys [15:55] hi === tik is now known as TiK [15:55] about my wireless problem, if i modprobe the same driver in another laptop it doesn't crash [15:55] But maybe that's b/c it doesn't ahve the hardware for it? [15:55] KomiaPoika: That's ok. [15:55] minimec: when i play a flash video on a website, it works [15:56] minimec: it just doesnt work when i try to play a local video file [15:56] <_F-117> how would i transfer a ralink setup from BT to ubuntu [15:56] pZombie, that is a server ISO yes. [15:56] KomiaPoika: and your sound problem is only related to local media too, or also for flash video? [15:57] Sahr, open your package manager and enable the canonical parteners and other sources in the "sources" option. [15:57] minimec: i have sound from the laptop itself but when i plug then jack for speakers, the sound is off even tho the speakers are on and with volume [15:57] ke1ha then it is the server i installed. [15:57] BluesKaj, Ok, doing that now, give me 5 minutes [15:57] I guess there's no hope :/ [15:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469799 Roasted check post #4 [15:57] pZombie, I have no Idea what you installed, all I know is that is a Server ISO. [15:58] <_F-117> erry: way 2 stay positive [15:58] pZombie, and server installations, Do Not have X11 installed. [15:58] BluesKaj, I am really not sure what you meen mate [15:58] ke1ha - i wasn t looking for your confirmation. just telling you what i installed [15:59] erry: Do you want to try and sort out your local name resolution, or worry about that another time [15:59] _F-117, i dunno ;/ [15:59] ? [15:59] pZombie, what your saying you did, and what your seeing, does not add up. [15:59] stefan33, no that's fine I'd rather i sorted out my wireless [15:59] Fair enough, best of luck. [15:59] I'll try getting 9.04 [15:59] but it's not supported anymore is it [15:59] KomiaPoika: For the speaker. Go to the volume-applet on the panel and click on it. ->sound preferences 'OUtput'-TAB -> 'Connector'=Analog Headphones. Try that. [16:00] I believe 9.04 updates are still available for a few more months (but don't go to court with that) [16:00] ke1ha - well, the server installation got me to a menu allowing me to pick several desktop environments as packages, which i did. i picked ubuntu desktop. or are you saying that it is impossible to install x11 on top of a server? [16:00] :( [16:00] is it possible to do a "compact" backup in ubuntu? I mean that it will only remember a list of currently installed programs and fetch them [16:00] pZombie, See, now your changing what you said you did. [16:00] is it possible to download like a kernel update in this computer and move it in another? [16:00] With all the dependancies? [16:01] ke1ha - no, i said the same before. [16:01] or even better, can I make a list of currently installed programs, and export it to another computer's synaptic? [16:01] <_F-117> anyone good with vbox settings [16:01] pZombie, and yes, the service installation CD does allow for Desktop installation, however, the base server installation does nto include a desktop by default. [16:01] Sahr, look in synaptic , settings/repositories then enable all repositories in ubuntu and other sources , except for the cdrom one [16:01] hi all [16:01] ke1ha - i know that.. and that is what i already told you [16:02] pZombie, Im sorry I can't help you further, you did this yesterday as well. [16:02] minimec: I'm re-partitioning as we speak....its been sat on 50% for about 20 mins now...would that be right? [16:02] guys, when i want ssh server to re-read config file , what command should be run .... 1) service ssh reload or 2) service sshd reload ??? 1 or 2 [16:02] wi-fi signal is intermitant unless i'm in the same room as wireless box [16:02] BluesKaj, Done it, now what should I try? [16:02] mikebeecham: The whole installation or the formatting process? [16:02] ke1ha - no need to be sorry. i am not paying you for this.. [16:02] i guess i should just forget about it [16:03] Professor_G, buy a better wireless box or remove the lead wallpaper :) [16:03] And BluesKaj Not leaving, just back in 2 minutes mate [16:03] harmandeep: whatever the script name in /etc/init.d is [16:03] Back* [16:03] minimec: formatting process [16:03] Sahr, in synaptic look for the broadcom-wl and install it [16:04] it's on "resizing partition" [16:04] and has been on 50% for a while [16:04] mikebeecham, what is the partition size [16:04] but what is normally ssh server script name is ??? [16:04] BluesKaj, Doing it now [16:04] mikebeecham: No. that is far to long. How much partitions did you choose, did you reformat the entire disk? [16:04] Sahr, specifically look for BCM4312 [16:05] Seveas-train, its fine on another laptop just not this one [16:05] does the universe component also include non-free software? [16:05] harmandeep, sudo service sshd restart / stop / start etc [16:05] Is there a way to get a better error message from ubuntu about VPN Failures? Even /var/log/messages just tells me "Connection Terminated" I have no idea why [16:05] i h ave tried tons of combinations of settings. [16:05] minimec: i chose the automatic option - so it's resizing the main partition of 73Gb, and the swap of 3Gb [16:06] it did nothing for a while, then shot to 50% and has sat there ever since [16:06] mikebeecham: OK. Rezising takes time!!! Don't touch it. ;) [16:06] ok :D [16:06] since you smile as you say it...I'll trust you :D === unix is now known as Guest92485 [16:07] mikebeecham: It may happen that it suddenly jumps to 90% [16:07] minimec: I'll be waiting for that to happen :D [16:07] It would be interesting in those chats .... a way to mark a question (ok question mark ? is fine, maybe another) so the IRC client would interpret which questions have been asked and instead of have to read all the text all the time and scroll up and down.. be able to in a separate window (a window catching questions) be able to detect those question and be able to give to the people formulating the question your opinion. I'm saying th [16:07] at because i left the xchat open for a while.... I don't know if there exist such a thing already or a script that does this.. would be interesting.

[16:18] Guest everything is on 100%, laptop speakers here, on windows sounds louder, i wonder if there is a aquelizer or some kind of volumen boost.

Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [16:24] !bye [16:24] Au revoir! [16:25] Jesc: hi, did you get the "end-request: I/O error..." from the installation cd? [16:25] Hi Im stumped on this, have some excutable files that I own, have execute for and will tab complete when in the directory. But I get a no such file or directory when I try to run... the file stats ok... Any ideas? other files can be written and read [16:25] yes i did [16:25] its the only cd i can mount [16:25] tmwsiy2012: chmod u+x filename; ./filename [16:25] tmwsiy2012, did you change the file to 755 [16:25] tmwsiy2012, are you running 64bit Ubuntu? [16:26] Back [16:26] Hello, I am using Xchat GNOME. I noticed that the original Xchat has a Friends list feature, and I was wondering if there's a way to access this in Xchat GNOME [16:26] Jesc: probably there were a problem when you downloaded/burned the Ubuntu installation cd, try to re-download and re-burn it (at a slow speed, possibly) [16:26] BluesKaj, It picks up the wireless connection but I get the same problem as before [16:26] yes 64 bit ubuntu server 10.4, permissions are 755 [16:26] candrea, installed lucid on another machine with same cd and no such error [16:26] tmwsiy2012, install ia32-libs [16:26] ThomasB2k, you can't that's why I use xChat too, they change allot of things in Gnome-Xchat [16:27] Okay, thanks for answering [16:27] Jesc: is your cd reader damaged or is the cd surface dirty? [16:27] ZykoticK9: will try that thanks! [16:28] candrea, i suspect maybe a damaged reader, but then why can i only mount the ubuntu cd and nothing else? [16:28] Incase anyone else thinks thhey can help, Basically I am using a Dell Mini 10 with a broadcom wireless card, Ubuntu CAN pick the connections up but it cant connect to them nomatter what encryption type I use, currently I am using a WEP-PSK [16:28] So yeah, if anyone could help it would be nice [16:28] i havent tried a music cd admitedly [16:28] candrea, +1 on the reader issue, I see that on a USB DVD drive, an it's go issues similar to what your seeing. [16:29] Jesc: if you got an error from the installer, it means that Ubuntu were not installed correctly, so it may misbehave === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [16:29] Jesc: I strongly suggest you to try to reinstall it [16:30] where does ubuntu define current runlevel (was /etc/inittab)? [16:30] candrea, yeah i would suspect the same, but it did install fine on another machine [16:30] !runlevels | aljosa [16:30] aljosa: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [16:30] ZykoticK9: that worked like a charm THANKS! [16:30] tmwsiy2012, glad to help [16:31] Jesc: yes, but if the cd drive is damaged (or something) something may fail, also if the cd is OK [16:32] Sahr, run sudo dhclient [16:32] BluesKaj, i think you need to add a device eth0 to that command [16:32] ZykoticK9: update-rc.d also manages upstart scripts? [16:32] Does the 10.04 version has minimum system requirement ? [16:33] BluesKaj this is going to be a pastebin job, 2 minutes [16:33] aljosa, for backwards compatibility i "believe" so (NOT sure however) [16:33] ZykoticK9, I just want to see the output [16:33] BluesKaj, ahh sorry [16:33] JayRor, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [16:33] BluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/kiBJk9g8 [16:34] minimec: I realised what had gone wrong with my install. I had chosen the wrong option, and it was installing 10.04.1, next to 10.04 [16:34] eeep! [16:34] is it possible to make my wifi card work in repeater node? so i can temporarily extend a wifi network? [16:34] ZykoticK9, , Sahr can connect by wifi to his router but not thru to the internet [16:34] gartral, you mean man an ad-hoc network, yes.

[16:35] candrea, ok well ive reinstalled 2 times already, ill clean cd once again and hope for the best [16:35] KE1HA: no, a repeater, it extends an existing AP and keeps infrastucture profile [16:35] Jesc: can you try with a different cd reader too? [16:36] candrea, no :( just have one [16:36] What does that tell you BluesKaj [16:36] Sahr, can you surf now ? [16:36] mikebeecham: so you have two parallel ubuntu installs on how many partitions? Ha sthe new installation a seperate /home partition? [16:36] With a wireless connection no. [16:36] gartral, so you want to make an AP, I think so, nore sure about an"extender" never heard it called that before. [16:36] Jesc: well, good luck then. I'm sorry that I can't give you more help :( [16:36] It keeps trying to connect, says connection established then I go to firefox and bang nothing [16:36] candrea, i think i may just need a new reader, but ive read online that many people have the same issue with lucid, also had hardy installed previously with no problems, so i think it may be just a driver problem [16:37] Hello?

I've just installed the recommended drivers and now the boot screen looks like windows :( [16:44] grrrr [16:44] Bebe: you may have to register, if you are registerd, goask in #freenode [16:44] candrea,.....hmm thats interesting [16:44] Sahr, are you disconnecting the cable when trying wifi ? [16:44] mikebeecham: use this guide until you hit the embedded video; http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [16:44] BluesKaj, Yeah [16:44] ZykoticK9: thanks for the tip I am looking for an article about why most beginner quite linux for windows [16:45] candrea, thats odd since it wont even mount that disk [16:45] I remeber on the ubottu has but can find it [16:45] does the universe component also contain non-free software? the homepage does not clearly state this [16:45] mathk, you could ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or perhaps ##windows [16:45] hi, i'm installing 10.04 via wubi. For some reason ubuntu fails to recognize by Broadcom wireless card. Is there something I can do so that it does? I dont have a wired line at present. [16:45] meek_, I dont think so, but let me check. [16:45] mikebeecham: what? Oh you get the logo of the GPU manufactor? [16:45] ZykoticK9: the ubottu has one IIRC [16:46] figuringout, do all updates and try System / Admin / Hardware Drivers (i'm not sure about Broadcom mind you) [16:46] mikebeecham: You can turn that in the settings tool for your GPU. [16:46] Jesc: you could try to: 1. restart ubuntu; 2. insert a cd; 3. wait a while; 4. type `dmesg` without ejecting the cd [16:46] Jesc: this would give some useful information [16:46] ok Sahr , sorry but I came across this same problem in the past with broadcom running the wifi and intel on the ethO , but couldn't figure out how to use both ...I'm out of ideas :( [16:47] mathk, you could try looking on my list of factoids page at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/reference/ubottu-factoids [16:47] BluesKaj, Thanks for the help anyway man [16:47] figuringout: Just to be clear: The wireless card is recognized when you install Ubuntu 10.04 without wubi but not when you install it with wubi? [16:47] meek_, I think it's in restricted, but try this: [16:47] ZykoticK9: is there something I can do in windows to get the driver before hand? [16:47] meek_, $ grep "restricted\|multiverse" /etc/apt/sources.list | grep -v "^#" [16:47] should return nothing [16:47] and this [16:47] BlueEagle: it's never recognized [16:47] meek_, dpkg -l linux-restricted-* | grep -vE "^[a-z]n" [16:47] BluesKaj, if you could give me a quick rundown on what its doing, I have 3 days of doing nothing so odds are I can sort this out by then [16:47] figuringout, sorry i don't know [16:47] should both return nothign [16:47] minimec: nope....I get the ubuntu logo fine...but now it's HUGE and looks like it's 256 colours [16:47] very pixelated [16:48] is anyone here keeping a (personal) journal on an Ubuntu machine that, like mine, is too old to comfortably support a blogging web app? [16:48] figuringout: I see. Then wubi or not is quite irrellevant. First off we need to figure out which chipset the wireless network card is buildt around. To do that open a terminal and type: lspci|grep broad [16:48] candrea, ok will do, be back in 5 [16:48] i'm considering org-mode, but i'd have to learn emacs [16:48] ZykoticK9: that was this one: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [16:48] hallo [16:48] ZykoticK9: thanks [16:49] mathk, glad to help [16:49] minimec: if that makes sense? [16:49] why does writing Ubunto 10.04 to disk fails at arroun 58% ? [16:49] ActionParsnip: the video was a little abstract...not sure what I should be looking at? [16:50] mikebeecham: Ok. Try a 'sudo update-grub' in a console. That will reset the framebuffer. [16:50] mikebeecham, if you have a proprietary driver it will probably NOT use proper graphics for Plymouth (by default) [16:51] Sahr, the wifi section isn't looking for a broadcast from the router , since the ethernet connection seems to replace any others ,whether the cable is connected or not . That's the only way I can explain it .I had the same problem with a usb belkin wifi adapter , that used tow ork on wicd on karmic but no longer works on lucid [16:51] minimec: updating now [16:51] done [16:51] mikebeecham: In fact it will regenerate the boot menu and options -> resolution. [16:51] KE1HA I'm not using ubuntu. There are licence policies for main and restricted on the homepage, but not for universe. the homepage says: "The universe component is a snapshot of the free, open-source, and Linux world.". what does that mean? [16:51] minimec: cool...will reboot in a min to make sure :D [16:51] mikebeecham, grub-update isn't going to help... [16:51] thanks for being here today minimec - very helpful [16:51] mikebeecham: no problem. [16:52] meek_, means it's covered by GNU Lic. [16:52] ZykoticK9: then is there anything I can do? [16:52] mikebeecham, ya - but I've never bothered - there is something you can config/install to get it working [16:52] anyone knows the install directory of audacious? [16:52] mikebeecham, see http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [16:52] meek_, See here for more info on GNU open-source Lic: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html [16:52] mikebeecham: not the video, the ext and commands above it [16:52] KE1HA so it means it contains free and only free software? [16:53] JayRor: because you have a broken download? [16:53] KE1HA I know the definition of free software [16:53] KE1HA I just found the sentence unclear [16:53] meek_, well non-free doesn't mean it costs you anything. [16:53] Gangrel: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/audacious/download [16:54] meek_, I try to rationalise it similar to restricted drivers, there free, but non open to open-source development. [16:54] Gangrel, for the binary use "which audacious" [16:54] Gangrel: sorry http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/audacious/filelist [16:54] meek_, But agreed, it is kind of confusing. [16:54] KE1HA they are not free in terms of free software foundation [16:54] JayRor: Try running a md5-sum on your downloaded file and check it against what it is supposed to be. [16:54] meek_, yes, that's what way I understand it. [16:55] does anyone here happen to know an Xorg expert whom I can pay to fix my setup in Eindhoven, .nl ? [16:56] BlueEagle: its defintiely the Broadcom 43xx series, 4315 in all probability [16:56] rp2, whats the issue? [16:57] hey guys! I am running lucid (10.04) and I've just installed kernel 2.6.35.2 (from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35.2-maverick/). I am now encountering some severe lag-issues where my mouse hangs for a certain amount of time and the sound playback also hangs. are there any known issues? [16:57] I can't get a decent resolution. the ones I had with previous distributions and XFree no longer work [16:57] how do you stop ubuntu from trying to use ipv6? [16:57] KE1HA I mean there's no explanation for what "free" and "open-source" means for the universe component. and "linux world" could also include non-free software. there's a detailed licence policy for main and restricted, but not for universe [16:57] !latest | houserockr [16:57] houserockr: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [16:57] this is an old computer with a very old video card btw [16:57] rp2, what video card do you have? [16:57] houserockr, for maverick, or related support pse use #ubuntu+1 [16:57] candrea, I get these two lines: 1)sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 12x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray, 2)sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 [16:58] i think it's a Diamond Stealth, but i'd have to look it up [16:58] 10 years old at least in any case [16:58] KE1HA, it's not a maverick issue if they are using Lucid with upgraded kernel [16:58] candrea, associated with the drive, of course [16:58] It's a Maverick kenernel is it not ? [16:58] rp2, open a terminal and run lspci [16:58] hi guys i have a quick question, i just installed opensuse 11.3 but it doesnt show up on grub how do i add it? [16:58] yes, i will when i get home ... [16:58] KE1HA, yes, but it's not Maverick is it. [16:58] rp2, there should be a line that reads VGA compatible controller [16:58] figuringout: Please check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390979&page=3 [16:58] meek_, I suspect there's legal begal stuff in all that, I just dont have the "legal begal" answers :-) [16:59] i've spent a couple of evenings on this already and i'm tired of it. [16:59] i want to sech all the files in my current directory for "-powersave" [16:59] figuringout: This does not need to be a thumb drive as the .deb should be availible on any CD you install from. [16:59] ZykoticK9, I wold say yes, as it's not a Lucid 10.04xx kernel right? [16:59] i think it's using VESA mode, from what i remember [16:59] KE1HA, they've asked in +1 already - awaiting replies ;) [16:59] itsux2bu: grep -e -powersave * [16:59] rp2, it should be fixable [17:00] BlueEagle: i'm installing from wubi, so I can potentially download the .deb in windows and then install from ubuntu offline? [17:00] and he clearly stated Im using [ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35.2-maverick/ } [17:00] I'm calling Poedit but it doesn't appears, whats wrong with it [17:00] what command do i need to run, to remove the need to sudo everything [17:00] fixable, but not by me. i have a whole stack of such problems lined up [17:00] antlong, you don't [17:01] Hey all :) [17:01] ZykoticK9: i really dont need sudo [17:01] figuringout: Or you could just boot linux, mount the CD and open the files there... [17:01] but i'll go home and return here, it would be great to have one more try ... === goldy is now known as GoldWyvern [17:01] thanks [17:01] hi guys i have a quick question, i just installed opensuse 11.3 but it doesnt show up on grub so how do i add it? [17:01] np [17:01] figuringout, you can just install debs within ubuntu [17:01] BlueEagle: but I dont want to write a new CD, dont have one on hand for the moment [17:01] hello [17:02] Ario, you asked this yesterday, have you tried talking to the OpenSuse folks [17:02] i need a code to convert all audio and video in bulk to ogg??????????????????????/ [17:02] help [17:02] figuringout: Did you not have one when you installed? [17:02] anyone knows about Poedit [17:02] i want to sech all the files in my current directory for "-powersave" [17:03] there irc is dead and i had a different problem. all i want to do now is update my grub to show the opensuse when i boot [17:03] My question is that I need to know how to properly document what I believe is a bug on boot up, so I might get some assistance with it. If someone has a moment, please let me know. It's pretty busy in here. [17:03] help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [17:03] Ario: And OpenSUse didn't rewrite the master boot? JUst start Ubuntu an do 'sudo update grub' in a console. [17:03] BlueEagle: no, i've been doing wubi throughout [17:03] abhijit, what file format do you want to convert to ogg? [17:03] ok will give it a go thanks [17:03] GoldWyvern: you can file a bug report [17:03] itsux2bu, grep -Rin powersave ./ [17:04] DrPoO, all - mp3 anything you can imagine all [17:04] abhijit, just an FYI but converting lossy to lossy will lower the quality... [17:04] DrPoO, approximately 20 gb of data [17:04] Guampa: Yes, but I need to know how to gather information from Ubuntu, since it's Ubuntu that crashes on reboot but not cold boot. [17:04] figuringout: Well then you'll need to find the .deb-files and dependencies (should be three). Download them to a shared location and you should be good to go. [17:04] ZykoticK9, ohhhh [17:04] abhijit, So you have 20Gb s of mp3s that you want to convert to Ogg? [17:04] Ario: sudo update-grub ;) [17:04] DrPoO, not only mp3 all of them mp3 mp4 real player mpeg all of them [17:05] yeah it doing it now [17:05] Jesc: I've tried to use a dirty cd and I get exactly the error you are seeing [17:05] abhijit: converting from one lossy format to another will damage quality [17:05] BlueEagle: where can i manually download the deb files? [17:05] hey guys do you know why Peodit is not workong on Ubuntu [17:05] it showed suse in the list of operating systems so i am guessing it worked [17:05] ActionParsnip, how to know if the one i have is lossy format? [17:05] working***** [17:05] abhijit, i'm all for opensource codecs, but converting might not be the best idea... except for flac files ;) Good luck though. [17:05] abhijit: mp3 is a lossy format [17:05] ZykoticK9, ok [17:06] ActionParsnip, lossy means not good? [17:06] Bonjour tout le monde ! [17:06] abhijit, lossy just means "non-perfect" quality [17:06] !fr | xapantu [17:06] xapantu: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [17:06] GoldWyvern: it's in ubuntu launchpad where you want to file the report then, and start by describing the conditions of the error and maybe a dmesg [17:06] ZykoticK9, ok [17:06] in a server (non-desktop gui) where does ubuntu put Alias defs? [17:06] maco, oops, sorry... [17:06] ActionParsnip, ZykoticK9 DrPoO ok. i decided not to convert. thanks all ! :) [17:06] abhijit: it means when the sound is digitised you lose quality as digital levels sample sound at intervals. If yuo then sample that again it can lose quality [17:07] Guampa: I have operating systems, type of drives, install areas, conditions and error messages. Will this be enough? [17:07] ActionParsnip, ok [17:07] GoldWyvern: seems plenty [17:07] Guampa: Thank you very much! [17:07] anyone know how to view windows journal files in ubuntu? [17:07] your welcome [17:07] *you're [17:07] !ntfs | winjournal [17:07] winjournal: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [17:07] abhijit: like this: http://musikality.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/quantised_waveform.png [17:08] abhijit: more bits mean the sample is closer as there will be fewer gaps [17:08] abhijit: that was not even close to my question [17:08] ActionParsnip, ohhh ok [17:08] itsux2bu: For the network? /etc/hosts [17:08] winjournal, sorry [17:08] Thanks minimec just did a quick reboot and it now shows suse, vista and ubuntu. [17:08] ario: no problem [17:09] hey peeps, before i traveled i had to put windows as default os and sat the timeout in grub.cnf to 0 how can i fix it [17:09] anyone know how to view Microsoft Windows Journal (R) files in ubuntu? [17:10] ok... i put 'setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0' in a startup file.. but i can't remember which one.. [17:10] itsux2bu: in a startup file? [17:10] winjournal, just FYI but Journal Viewer gets a Garbage rating on winedb http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7238 [17:11] Zykotick9: i know it won't work with wine, is there a linux/ubuntu program that can open these files; i need them for school [17:11] winjournal, you can always use a virtualbox [17:11] init.rc or bash i don't remember [17:11] candrea, ok! well then ill clean and install again! ill let you know what happens [17:11] DrPo0: so run windows is the answer? [17:11] init.d ? [17:11] Hey guys, does the ubuntu live CD have a memory test? [17:11] Raptors: yes [17:11] kk [17:11] Raptors: yes; [17:11] winjournal, lol yup [17:12] how to sudo files from live cd please === luke is now known as Guest17478 [17:12] winjournal, or try it out with wine... but i dunno if it will work [17:12] is there a way to have a bottom panel in gnome with dual monitors that lets you span the window list to both panels? [17:12] pepePlu, use su -s [17:12] DrPoO: okay, will try [17:12] can anyone get mytheon to work in linux? its a free mmorpg [17:12] DrPoO, wine is fail for this http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7238 [17:12] i think it was in etc [17:12] right now they're just stuck on the left panel, i cannot get it to span both panels [17:13] DrPoO i will try [17:13] utkanos, i've never seen that as an option i'm affraid. Good luck. [17:13] it used to work in ubuntu 9 just fine [17:13] pepePlu, it might be sudo -s actually [17:13] hello [17:13] ie having one giant panel that spans both monitors [17:13] that way you login as root [17:13] !hello | krax [17:13] krax: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [17:13] its a PITA to have all the windows crowded up [17:13] ok going to try both hope it works [17:14] thanx DrPoO [17:14] BluesKaj, YOU GOT MY WIRELESS WORKING =D [17:14] I just tried to connect again now, resetting the router, and it bloody worked =D. Thanks so much mate [17:15] DrPoO: wine will install but not even run the GUI for Windows Journal Viewer (R) [17:16] winjournal, as ZykoticK9 pointed out, windowns journal will not work on wine... [17:16] hi [17:16] anyone had success getting window list to appear across two monitors in gnome? this definitely used to work [17:16] DrPo0: are the Windows Journal Viewers xml based? so they can be opened in gedit? [17:16] winjournal, so you will have to try a virtualbox and install windoze [17:17] Do I just stick the CD with Ubuntu 10.04 into the drive and restart my computer to install Ubuntu ? [17:17] does anyone run a local webserver? [17:17] Why mplayer and vlc builds in ubutu are so old? [17:17] utkanos, i believe that would mean windows would also span both monitors, i doubt you want your webbrowser to maximize across both monitors (or perhaps you do?) [17:17] winjournal, you could use any text editor, but making sense of them will be another issue [17:17] winjournal: could you tell me by visiting your native ubuntu video player not vlc edit>preference.> display and tell me what you see in "type of visualization"] [17:17] ffmpeg too [17:17] it cant play webm :( [17:17] ZykoticK9, thats how twinview used to work [17:17] m15k, yes [17:17] it appears theyve changed it to act more like xinerama [17:17] DrPoO: okay, maybe i'll unzip the files and read in gedit, thanks all [17:18] which helps in the sense that windows dont start in the middle and i can maximize based on monitor position [17:18] but ive also lost the ability to actually utilize a giant task bar [17:18] m15k: i do [17:18] Sahr, really ? [17:18] :p [17:18] in the meantime ive installed a second panel and a second window list that manages the iwndows for the second monitor but thats a dirty hack [17:18] I am having proble imstalling ubuntu, Do I just stick the CD with Ubuntu 10.04 into the drive and restart my computer to install Ubuntu ? [17:18] BluesKaj, YEah, I am on wireless now [17:18] could you tell me by visiting your native ubuntu video player not vlc edit>preference.> display and tell me what you see in "type of visualization" [17:18] BluesKaj, Tried it before, so its something you have done [17:19] JayRor, assuming your BIOS is set to boot from CDROM before HD, yes [17:19] Thanks so much mate anyway [17:19] Sahr, cool :) [17:19] figuringout: That was a very good question. It does appear that you would need to grab a new image with them on and burn it to a disk or unpack the files with some cd-emulator. [17:19] could you tell me by visiting your native ubuntu video player not vlc edit>preference.> display and tell me what you see in "type of visualization" [17:19] where can i ask to upgrade mplayer, vlc and ffmpeg to recent versions? [17:19] yes ..it is [17:19] DrPoO uazure may you confirm a possible bug: what happens when you start your local webserver and disconnect your internet connection. It is still possible to connect to your webserver? [17:19] m15k, yes it is... [17:19] BlueEagle: ouch! ok, thanks. what about this? http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/b43-fwcutter [17:19] m15k, did you install apache2? [17:19] no [17:19] m15k: guess it depends on config [17:20] BluesKaj, Thanks so much for the help, I had been trying for about 3 days before you did this [17:20] So I am now a full time ubuntu users, huzzah [17:20] got the problem with glassfish v3 and h2 database web interface [17:20] m15k, which server did you install and how? [17:20] uazure, you could search https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas for PPAs with the updated versions [17:20] if the socket is opened on *:80 then everything should be ok [17:20] figuringout: No clue. [17:20] i guess [17:20] ok, thanks! let me see how it goes [17:20] Sahr, maybe it was just the right driver for broadcom that did the trick [17:21] BluesKaj, I think that could be the case === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [17:21] m15k, is there any particular reason on why you are using glassfish? [17:21] m15k, have you tried tomcat? [17:21] not yet [17:21] but h2 web interface is the same problem [17:22] help c ould you tell me by visiting your native ubuntu video player not vlc edit>preference.> display and tell me what you see in "type of visualization" [17:22] DrPoO and gf is well integrated in my ide [17:22] m15k, what is "h2 web interface"?? [17:23] DrPoO h2 is a database [17:23] m15k, and you cant run you database natively on an SQL server? [17:23] hi, I have a problem about burning an iso file, how can I check that it comes from the DVD writer? [17:24] m15k, or on another RDBMS [17:24] DrPoO this is for developing purpose [17:24] ganja_, try another software? [17:25] m15k, you should probably ask gf people about this problem then [17:25] i accidentally change permissions on /var/lib/php5, how do i restore them? :p [17:25] I tried it doesn't worked either. I bet it's that [17:26] I can't understand the brasero log file [17:26] DrPoO its strange cause h2 interface is standalone and not does not contact with gf [17:26] ganja, could you pastebin the log file at pastebin.com maybe one of us can see the issue [17:26] ganja, honesetly i find Brasero pretty poor... (just a personal opinion - NOT fact) [17:27] ZykoticK9, I agree [17:27] I will coz [17:27] what do you use? [17:27] ZykoticK9 [17:27] m15k: [17:27] sorry ) [17:27] ganja, i use K3b (BUT that requires KDE Libs, not what most would want) [17:27] ganja, personally I trust gnomebaker on gnome [17:27] m15k, are you using sun-java6-jre/jdk?

[17:38] boghog, if it's not in the repo's, only thing I can suggest is to build it from upstream sources. but there's risks in deps on that. [17:38] coz_, not sure, something that is newer than 1.6.6 I guess :s I only know that it works with 1.6.12 that I have running on a gentoo box [17:39] boghog, Try a source build in a VM and see how it plays for you. [17:39] boghog, ok I have a link to download the source for 1.6.12 although I never have from this site http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Version-Control/Subversion-3007.shtml === 18VABDTRK is now known as jMyles [17:40] abhijit ZykoticK9 : 1.6.0_20-b02 might not based on update 21?!

Enjoy your stay! [17:41] great how are you? [17:41] oh I found one with 1.6.12: https://launchpad.net/~svn/+archive/ppa thanks for the pointers guys <3 [17:41] hello all! is there an ubuntu netbook specific IRC channel? [17:41] I am feeling great! [17:41] mrandrzejak, nope - here [17:41] How can I make a 2nd hard drive (S-ATA connected) behave like an external storage device? If it's connected, it should show up on the desktop like a USB stick, possibly auto-mounted without an entry in /etc/fstab. [17:41] boghog, there you go :) [17:42] ok, thanks. is there any way to increase the size of the icons in Ubuntu netbook? [17:42] hi there, is there an easy way to access SMB shares on 10.04 or will I need to install SAMBA? [17:42] would I have to modify the UDisks rules for that? [17:42] sed`, mutually exclusive - fstab mounted stuff doesn't show on desktop [17:42] ZykoticK9: i don't want it in /etc/fstab [17:42] What is the topic of this room? [17:42] SYstem_Of_A_: this is ubuntu technical support, for social chat join #ubuntu-offtopic [17:42] sed`, then i don't think it's going to show up??? [17:43] SYstem_Of_A_: do a /topic :) [17:43] SYstem_Of_A_, type /topic [17:43] sed`, if you've not partitioned it, use the Disk Utility to create a partitions & Mount Point. [17:43] ZykoticK9: yeah, that's the point. I want it to behave like an external storage device, e.g. an USB storage medium. [17:43] as in /data or something [17:43] sed`, i'm unaware of that option - best of luck === Guest19388 is now known as LjL-Temp === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest57610 [17:44] That's how I mount an LVM 2x 1TB drives / data [17:44] KE1HA: at the moment I've manually created an fstab entry and it works just fine but I'd rather have it behave like a USB stick. I guess one would have to modify HAL or UDisks rules for that? [17:45] Just make it a (rw) mot ping /dev/sdx /data (rw) and should be good to go. [17:45] at some point in the hotplug chain some script obviously decides whether a drive should be treated as "removable" and auto-mounted [17:45] Mounting it not mot ping :-) sri [17:45] mrandrzejak: I am sure there is, although I do not use the Netbook remix, it is usually in gconf or System>Preferences>Appearance [17:46] sed`, it wont Hot-Plug as a normal USB device, there's no way to do that, unless it's actually a USB device. [17:46] KE1HA: okay, well thanks for pointing out the GUI way to determine mount points. that's good enough for this case. [17:46] It's simple, and workes pretty easy. [17:46] hello [17:46] hi [17:47] its the first time i an using xchat [17:47] hello govind [17:47] hello sed` [17:47] !hi | govind [17:47] govind: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[17:49] thanks for the info [17:49] hi there, is there an easy way to access SMB shares on 10.04 or will I need to install SAMBA? [17:49] govind: Are you also new to Ubuntu? [17:49] !#237373 [17:49] mikebeecham, Places / network [17:50] bbl, stuff to do [17:50] well not exactly to new [17:50] murlidhar: There is no bug parsing here. [17:50] but only now i am knowing it in depth [17:50] ZykoticK9: will I be able to mount each share under 'places' upon reboot? [17:50] oh. i guess there was earlier. as far as i remember. [17:50] murlidhar: Never. [17:50] govind: Ok, Is your system updated and such? [17:50] yeah [17:50] Pici: i remember. [17:50] ZykoticK9: or will I need to edit fstab again? [17:50] i tried to install firefox 4 beta [17:50] mikebeecham, sorry i don't understand? Places looks for SMB shares, do your shares change after reboot? [17:50] murlidhar, that is in bug channel, not here [17:51] mikebeecham, fstab not required [17:51] but couldnt even go to the webpage to download it [17:51] abhijit: you mean ubuntu+1 [17:51] ? [17:51] no [17:51] i need JAVA_HOME in my path, but i cant find where it should point to, im using OpenJDK, any ideas? [17:51] murlidhar, ubuntu-bugs [17:51] govind: I am guessing that it is some browser settings, did or have you edited any of the Prefs settings? [17:51] none [17:51] nah in feisty days... it was here. [17:51] ZykoticK9: perhaps I am not explaining myself here. I know that I can view my shares under network...but what I want is to be able to have those shares automounted for when Ubuntu reboots....so I switch on my machine, Ubuntu boots, I go to places...and my shares are all listed there [17:51] abhijit, murlidhar; Many ubuntu channels parse bugs, but not this one. [17:52] Pici, i see [17:52] ZykoticK9: so I wondered if there was an easy way to do that [17:52] i just installed flashblock to see if i can disable any problems due to falsh [17:52] mikebeecham, ya, add them to fstab [17:52] but so for no positive results [17:52] mikebeecham, easy as editing fstab? [17:52] installed opera and chrome too [17:52] still a negative result [17:52] ZykoticK9: I backed up my old fstab, just in case :D [17:52] Is there any way to increase the size of the icons in Ubuntu netbook? [17:52] mikebeecham, wise man :) [17:53] ZykoticK9: i thank you :D === ganja_ is now known as ganjaman [17:53] govind: That is the error then, or appears to be, there is a clicky on that to allow or dis-allow scripts, there in is usually where the page load error occurs.

[17:54] yes [17:54] govind: u can block flash by opera (10.60+) [17:54] this problem has been going on for a month [17:54] how do i find out what is using my network bandwith? [17:54] in opera:config [17:54] google for it [17:54] govind: Have you ran the CLI apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade? [17:54] !google > uazure1 [17:54] uazure1, please see my private message [17:54] well [17:55] the thing is my internet connection is very slow <0.5 Mbps> and it takes eons to download a lot of packages [17:55] so i install only specific ones [17:55] govind: u should do that :) [17:55] i will run an update overnight [17:55] definitely [17:56] thanks for the help uazure1 [17:56] and vigo_ [17:56] :) [17:56] re, k3b told me that cdrecord didn't have a permission, when I grant it I got "cdrecord returned an unknow error (code 254)" and "Sometimes using TAO writing mode solves this issue" [17:56] does anyone can help me in testing .webm video [17:56] govind: That is wise, a system that is not updated is very poorly configured, also make backups in the off line times. === _NG is now known as _ng [17:57] someone with opera 10.60+ browser for example [17:57] yeah . i just got a new HDD yesterday [17:57] of some chromium build that supports webm [17:57] do i have to format usb stick before i unetbooting image on it?

[17:57] wilhart, using gparted [17:58] I've installed an application however the bin isn't in the /usr/bin/ dir, So I can't run it via just putting dmd in terminal [17:58] How mite I fix this? [17:58] govind, what's the question? all in one line [17:58] where is my setting that when i close the lid on my laptop, it should be "nothing happens" [17:58] ZykoticK9: ok...can i REALLY test your linux knowledge now? [17:58] wilhart, I believe when it says FAT it means the 32 version. [17:58] does somebody knows some software to know how much download? [17:58] psych787, which application is this? [17:58] govind: You are wiser than many many users, I can never stress how important and easy it is to repair a broken system with a simple backup plan/routine. [17:58] israfel: what is the command in console? [17:58] PsyNet, which application is this [17:58] well . its just that my browsers are not loading webpages [17:58] psych787, sorry wrong nick [17:58] mikebeecham, ummm is it about mounting SMB shares with fstab? if so I'm NOT the person to ask - i don't do Windows stuff anymore. [17:59] hmmm [17:59] coz_ dmd the D compiler [17:59] well its just that a lot of webpages like wired.com [17:59] PsyNet, ok hold on [17:59] ok, I would have thought it's more linux based...if I may? you can always say...Dont know! [17:59] techreport.com are not loading in my browsers [17:59] mikebeecham, ask away [17:59] so i wanted to know if there is anything i can do to solve it [17:59] can someone help me transfer files from my CD to a directory on ubuntu server? I'm not sure how to do it via SSH. [17:59] where is my setting that when i close the lid on my laptop, it should be "nothing happens" [18:00] how can i to know how much download from inet? [18:00] please? [18:00] govind: Have you tried any of the Debian or unbranded browsers? [18:00] israfel: what is the command in console? [18:00] Kjeldor, System / Preference / Power Management [18:00] ZykoticK9: I have moved across my fstab, and I now see my shares listed under Places....I will click on one...let's say "albums"...it mounts albums and now I have two lots of Albums listed....why the duplication? [18:00] israfel: for formatttin fat53 [18:00] none [18:00] 32 [18:00] vigo_ [18:00] i just use firefox , opera and chrome [18:00] govind: try "nc techreport.com 80" [18:00] Frankiitaa: what do you mean? [18:00] in console [18:00] ubuntu 10.04, fresh installed but no sound. in lspci i can see my intel hda card, the modules are loaded and i tried the soundproblem documentation. so i dont know where i can find the solution to get sound working [18:00] they type "GET /" [18:00] <{bosco}> i have installed 2 copys of winxp and one copy of ubuntu 10.04 when i installed grub2 it removed my windows from grub any ideas on how to get that back when eding the grub file??? [18:00] and press enter [18:00] mikebeecham, don't use Places if you have them in fstab - just use Nautilus/cli to go to the mount point you used in fstab [18:01] until get somethign [18:01] uazure1 : [18:01] mid if i ask what nc is ?? [18:01] I dont want to "suspend" my laptop when my lid closes, can i do something about that? [18:01] PsyNet, I did find this http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/learn/dmd_on_ubuntu_installation_16486.html [18:01] guampa i want to know my total download by mont [18:01] ortsvorsteher: try to switch over device outputs in sound settings [18:01] or week [18:01] govind: nc is netcat [18:01] how can I make grub react to my arrows keys better [18:01] ZykoticK9: so if I want them listed under places, for easy accessibility, I will have to put up with the double listing? [18:01] Kjeldor, System / Preference / Power Management [18:01] it lags [18:01] govind: That might be a good test, your choice there, Empathy , IceCat, Midori or about twenty others, is always worth testing to see if it is the rendering or capture agent. [18:01] govind, http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/wired.com [18:01] uazure1, i try [18:02] govind: raw tcp/udp viewer :) [18:02] mikebeecham, sounds like you don't really want the in Fstab if you want to use Places instead [18:02] ZykoticK9 there is no option for what I want there [18:02] govind: nice in testing network [18:02] got it :) [18:02] Kjeldor, really? I'd have to go grab my laptop - but i was sure there was an option about "lid" in there [18:02] ea [18:02] ZykoticK9: I just want them easily accessible without me having to go into network all the time. Also it means that I can add music to Banshee / RB easier if they are listed? [18:03] unless I'm missing a trick somewhere [18:03] anyone knows what i need to make Poedit works [18:03] Can someone help me mount a second drive, copy files to it, and make it a symlink? [18:03] Oer : it says its just down for me [18:03] I dont want to "suspend" my laptop when my lid closes, only options are SUSPEND, HIBERNATE AND SHUTDOWN. I dont want any of those. I want "Do Nothing" can i do something about that? [18:03] so shall try updating it tonight [18:03] gnugr, "poedit - gettext catalog editor" what is poedit exactly? [18:04] here it is up, govind. but it is a test, handy [18:04] Dravekx, do you want to mount that second drive permanently or just temporarily? [18:04] Frankiitaa: vnstats maybe [18:04] tucemiux, its permanent [18:04] text editor for C and g++ [18:04] Oer : yeah . thanks for the info . it will help me in the future [18:04] mikebeecham, personally, i'd recommend using Fstab and forgetting about Places... [18:05] uazure1, still no success [18:05] anyway thanks for the help guys . i was a little intimidated in using IRC first [18:05] DrPoO also tried with tomcat [18:05] now i like it [18:05] guampa ok thanks i ll take a look [18:05] ZykoticK9: but putting them into fstab displays them in places, no/ [18:05] welcome [18:05] DrPoO same result [18:05] govind: so u still can't open that page? [18:05] nope [18:05] will update my system [18:06] and see it that helps [18:06] mikebeecham, then perhaps I'm not understanding... Places double mounts them when you click though? [18:06] tucemiux, it is already installed, but I do not know how to access it. I want to symlink it so I can access my files on it via the web. [18:06] ZykoticK9: yessir [18:06] ortsvorsteher: make some music "play" [18:06] tucemiux, all my files are on a DVD [18:06] mikebeecham, sorry I have no idea then? good luck man. [18:06] Dravekx, step 1. make a mount point, sudo mkdir /media/mymountpointhere step 2. Identify the device, sudo fdisk -l 3. Now that you know which drive it is, ex /dev/sdb you need to find the UUID: sudo blkid, 4. Configure your /etc/fstab to mount it to the mount point your created using the UUID -- once you have a mount point and UUID let me know and Ill help you with this step [18:06] coz_ I tried using $ PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dmd/linux/bin but that didn't work [18:06] do u see any channels of your audio device?

[18:09] ZykoticK9: some people just need telling [18:09] Ario: Do you have a harware switch for wlan? ;) That's a common error... [18:09] KFC: no, shouldnt do [18:09] ok, also, grub is a bit slow on the loading time [18:10] hello [18:10] PsyNet, not sure I now dmd is closed source and it open source buddy is gdc [18:10] coz_: No problem.

Ok, I have just done a clean install of 10.04 and used my backup of fstab. I can see all of my shares listed under 'places'. This is what I want. However, when I click any of the shares within Places, it then seems to mount the share and list it twice under places. Is there any way I can just have them listed under Places, click them and keep the share listed only once? [18:12] I dont understand why it duplicates [18:12] tucemiux, I have a sda1 *boot* (Linux), a sda2 (extended) and sda5 (linux swap) .. does that mean my 2nd drive is split? [18:13] abhijain, follow coz_ [18:13] KFC: Have you added or made any configuration edits to the .grub loaded? [18:13] tucemiux, sda 1 is my main drive, but i think sda 2 and sda5 are one drive. [18:13] abhijain, did you already install it in /usr/share/fonts ? [18:13] I've added a custom menu, but it was slow before that Vigo_ [18:13] coz_: no [18:14] !font | abhijain [18:14] abhijain: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[18:15] Hey everybody [18:15] SwissFox, hey guy [18:15] mikebeecham, sounds like youre mounting the shares twice, how do you have the shared places configured?? Everything in your fstab should have its own mount point and be mounted, must be something with your fstab [18:15] 我是ywyg [18:15] 我是谁 [18:15] sd', cool. ty.

[18:16] * SwissFox has been trying to get compiz to work on a powermac g5 with an ATI graphics card [18:16] klay: ok, install them [18:16] but the problem is for some reason even if you have those installed on your machine, they wont let you procede [18:16] But I take it it doesnt work [18:16] cause your not running windows [18:16] tucemiux: I have created folders relevant to the shares under Media....so I have media > albums, movies, tv shows, etc....would this be a good first point? [18:16] i dont want to mess with virtual box now [18:16] Dragnslicer, /dev/sda means hard drive one, you can break up the hard drive into partitions, /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 is the same hard drive just different partitions [18:16] i have autoconnect enabled in nm-applet but it doesent reconnect [18:16] madmax_x, I dont know but if no one here can answer that go to the ##linux channel ...they may be able to solve it [18:16] when i do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in my ctrl alt fn session (while i am in my non sudo account) then it say there is no updates. but when i come in my admin account and manualy check for update then there are updates? how this possible? [18:17] klay: can you use: www.pastie.org to give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep java [18:17] but i thing its screwed up they deny you the test cause you are running linux [18:17] thnx coz_ [18:17] ActionParsnip, he has a problem with his hard drive or his DVD or something [18:17] klay, as an alternative to VBox you could try installing firefox (and pluggins) in Wine (which will appear to the site to be running on windows) [18:17] tucemiux: gotcha [18:17] tucemiux: may I go to pm with you, so that I can show you a pastebin of my fstab? [18:17] abhijain, ping [18:17] so does anybody know about the whole compiz on a G5 deal? [18:17] ok guys I have to break here hopefully retune later [18:17] tucemiux, the 2nd drive is /dev/sdb1 and the UUID is 6C50BBAD50BB7D00 (NTFS) [18:17] that works?

[18:20] zykotic k9 have you done this before? [18:21] when i do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in my ctrl alt fn session (while i am in my non sudo account) then it say there is no updates. but when i come in my admin account and manualy check for update then there are updates? how this possible? [18:21] mikebeecham, i dont know what you mean by "shares", what is your definition of a "share"? A share is usually a folder that you can make accessible to other computers on the network [18:21] ActionParsnip i will give it a go [18:21] !tab | klay [18:21] klay: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. === orion is now known as Guest33211 [18:21] Dravekx, step 1. make a mount point, sudo mkdir /media/mymountpointhere step 2. Identify the device, sudo fdisk -l 3. Now that you know which drive it is, ex /dev/sdb you need to find the UUID: sudo blkid, 4. Configure your /etc/fstab to mount it to the mount point your created using the UUID -- once you have a mount point and UUID let me know and Ill help you with this step [18:21] Can anyone help me get Baderports working for Synaptic? [18:21] abhijit: your non-sudo account cant check for updates [18:21] klay, yes - but last time i tried it failed :( My steps documented at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/cbc-videos-on-ubuntu [18:21] <_Trullo> I have a disks installed in my computer, they are named sdc/sdb/sde/sdf, I put in one more, then sde became sdf.. is this normal? [18:21] tucemiux, i did that already. now what? [18:21] I did what the site said, but I don't see its packages anywhere [18:22] maco, you ddnt read the question correctly [18:22] oh wait. LOL [18:22] KFC: And here is one on Lucid,Windows and such: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/533643 [18:22] Dravekx, so basically what I need you to do is to A) have a mount point created for the hard drive B) you need to knwo the UUID of the hard drive, do you have that information on hand? [18:22] abhijit: "(while i am in my non sudo account) " doesnt mean you're in your non-sudo account? [18:22] all they ask for is mozilla2.0+ , java VM and ability to spam you with popups and winblows98 [18:22] or greater [18:22] tucemiux: ok...On my mac downstairs I have an external HDD connected to it. This contains a number of folders, such as albums, movies, tv shows, etc. These have all been shared. Now, upstairs on ubuntu I have used fstab to access these shares in such a way as they auto mount upon bootup and list under Places... [18:23] maco the sentest just before that bracket read that [18:23] abhijit: im reading that as "i run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade as my non-sudo account" since you put that parenthetical there. if that's not what you mean, then why the parenthetical? [18:23] tucemiux: so now, I want to be able to click one of these shares under places, and it open up. This it does, but upon opening up the share it then duplicates the share name within Places. So if I click on the share "albums", I then see Albums listed twice within Places [18:23] maco, ok forget that [18:24] mikebeecham, go to your "/etc/fstab", most likely youre mounting these shares --- you need to make sure the mount points exist in your hard drive, your fstab should hav ea reference to something like /media/shareone etc. make sure these exist [18:24] when i do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in my admin account in ctrl alt fn session then it say there is no updates. but when i come in my admin account and manualy check for update then there are updates? how this possible? [18:24] maco ^^^^ [18:24] _Trullo, the sdX letters are determined by drive input on the motherboard/controller [18:24] I installed a propierty driver of Nvidia, but now it takes much longer to boot. [18:24] abhijit: are you actually clicking the "check for updates" button or just still seeing a notification of updates? [18:24] wasnt the tool to setup wine called wine-tools [18:24] ? [18:24] tucemiux, yes. but i need to repartition the drive. it seems to be in NTFS format instead of ext4. or do I mount it first? [18:25] maco, no i am going to update manager and clicking on update button [18:25] tucemiux: yes...I have done this. In line with fstab I have created relevant 'receiving' folder within 'media'...so on my ubuntu machine I currently have media/albums, media/movies, etc [18:25] Dravekx, you need to unmount your hard drive to format it [18:25] maco i want to know why my ctrl alt f1 session dont show updates? [18:25] viga_ [18:25] abhijit: i'm guessing a bug [18:25] maco ohhh [18:25] vigo_ It doesn't take a few minutes [18:25] maco should i submit bug? [18:25] abhijit: Can you try doing apt-get dist-upgrade and seeing if it gives you updates? [18:25] but it takes quite some tim [18:26] The other question, why use ctrl+alt F1, when a simple terminal wouls suffice. [18:26] Pici: oh yeah good point [18:26] mikebeecham, chown the mount points to yourself, sudo chown username:username /media/mountpoint [18:26] how do I encrypt an Ubuntu system, i.e. the entire harddrive? [18:26] abhijit, i don't see updates available on terminal? is that a feature/option? [18:26] Pici, but thats the distribution upgrade naa? i am talking about regular updates? [18:26] must I go via external harddisk? [18:26] !dist-upgrade | no abhijit [18:26] no abhijit: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [18:26] ZykoticK9, hey you all wait you all are getting me wrong [18:26] :( [18:26] wait [18:26] abhijit: dist-upgrade != do-release-upgrade [18:26] tucemiux, ok. first then. how do I repartition a secondary drive and format it to ext4? [18:26] see i explaing again [18:26] no wait [18:26] abhijit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === KB1JWQ_ is now known as KB1JWQ [18:27] Dravekx, first isntall gparted, sudo apt-get install gparted [18:27] abhijit: apt-get dist-upgrade, despite the stupid name, does not change what version of ubuntu you have [18:27] abhijit: it just lets new packages be added and old ones be removed. aptitude (smartly) renamed it to full-upgrade to remove the confusion [18:27] Dravekx, after you install gparted, fire it up, sudo gparted --- once in gparted make sure your phasers point to the correct drive, you will have the option to unmount the hard drive then format it [18:28] abhijain, sorry - re-read your earlier question. I use "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" for most command line updates? [18:28] abhijit do you use amd64? [18:28] tucemiux: gksudo gparted dude, sudo isnt for gui apps [18:28] condition 1) i am log in to my admin account. then i go to system->admin->update manager then i click on update button then it shows me updates and i install those updats. now see condition 2) now i log into my non sudo account. ok? now i press ctrl + alt + f1 right? now it will take me to witought x session. right? then from there i login to admin account i tpe admin username i typ admin password. now i do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. and the [18:29] n it dotn show any update? but actaully there are update????? [18:29] maco ZykoticK9 Pici now you got me? [18:29] Dravekx, gksudo gparted as ActionParsnip sez [18:29] m15k, yes [18:29] i dont have a gui [18:29] abhijit: /after/ you install updates in condition 1 there should not be any remaining [18:29] Dravekx, you have ubuntu server? [18:29] abhijit: The gui does the equivilent of an apt-get dist-upgrade, so if you aren't doing that on the tty, then you won't see the same thing. [18:30] tucemiux, yes. [18:30] abhijit: but "apt-get upgrade" will only show SOME of what "apt-get dist-upgrade" shows [18:30] maco, Pici ok i understood. so i need to do dist-upgrade? ok thanks [18:31] Dravekx, you have to use a command line utility to do that then, sorry I forgot the utility to do that [18:31] tucemiux, (gpartedbin:5978): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: ~ I think this only works with a gui [18:31] lol [18:32] Dravekx, use the command line utlity, try fdisk [hard drive] [18:32] Dravekx, gparted is GnomeParted - you could check out the cli app "parted" [18:32] Dravekx, sudo fdisk [HARDDRIVE] [18:32] Dravekx: did you see the ubuntu server guide? [18:32] maco, so sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade will be right command? if not then? [18:32] gunbert, im looking as tucemiux helps me.

[18:59] one sec... need to start again [19:00] Jordan_U need 5 mins... i just formated the partition where i had the vb harddisks [19:00] Hounddog: you misread: with ext4 and sata you have to switch on "use host i/o cache" -- virtual box support in #vbox [19:01] tucemiux: sorry mate...had to nip away...what is CHOWN?

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [19:07] mikebeecham, change of ownership, man chown [19:07] <_eXeCuTeR> ZykoticK9, oh then it's a great version of ubuntu! [19:08] tucemiux: sure...but why? will this resolve the issue? [19:08] _eCeCuTeR: Just start using Lucid.. its the best till now.... [19:08] where do people normally mount other hardrives to?

[19:09] Dravekx: depends how you want it to act [19:09] _eCeCuTeR: Great! Burn it and do a fresh install [19:09] I'm having some problems with openvpn and I could use some help. I'm not really sure where to start though. [19:09] KE1HA, yes. media files and storage [19:09] Dravekx: if you want it to act like an external device and show up on the desktop, then /media .. but if you dont, then /mnt [19:09] _eXeCuTeR: Great! Burn it and do a fresh install (Sorry) [19:09] <_eXeCuTeR> qwe, yeah i have had linux fo a pretty long time, just wasn't sure about LTS :p [19:09] Dravekx, Just mount them to a name you like then /data /media /music etc etc [19:10] maco, really is stuff is mounted under /media it shows up on the desktop? Good to know thanks - oops for my message to someone earlier ;) === thyri0n is now known as CptPlankSpank [19:10] _eXeCuTeR: Good.. how are you finding Lucid till now? [19:10] ZykoticK9: yep [19:10] <_eXeCuTeR> qwe, hmm i just finished burning at, installing it atm [19:10] ZykoticK9: thats how nautilus determines which devices to show if you enable showing devices on desktop [19:10] <_eXeCuTeR> qwe, thanks for the help. thank you ZykoticK9 too! [19:11] guys I have mistakenly chmod 777'ed a directory [19:11] how can I fix it back [19:12] just an ordinary folder under ~ [19:12] <_eXeCuTeR> oh one last question - i wanna install my ubuntu distro over my openSUSE one, but there's also Windows XP in here. [19:12] so what is the question? [19:12] <_eXeCuTeR> Is this possible to just override where openSUSE sits and keep XP alive? [19:12] hoare, try chmod 755 [19:12] _eXeCuTeR, yes [19:12] hrllo [19:12] ortsvorsteher: thankds [19:12] yw [19:12] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, how exactly? i clicked on the specify partitions manually but it didn't open anything. should I move forward? [19:13] hoare, no need to bash all the files / folders with execute, 750 / 740 is fine [19:13] _eXeCuTeR, you mean delete suse, install ubuntu in the place of suse and keep xp. right? [19:13] 600 is you want to get real tight with premissions. [19:13] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, yeah. essentially just tell the ubuntu install to reside over openSUSEs partitions [19:14] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, i clicked on Specify partitions manually but nothing opened or popped. should I press forward? [19:14] _eXeCuTeR, then you just delete suse partition from ubuntu installation process? and install ubuntu there? [19:14] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, yeah. how is that possible in this installation? [19:14] _eXeCuTeR, no after selecting the cirlce of specify partitions manualy you need to click on forward buttont then it will show [19:15] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, ok [19:15] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, should I first erase all partitions taken by suse, then create only one single partition for ubuntu? [19:16] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, I know that swap is needed but I'm not sure if it'll automatically allocate space for it [19:16] how do I launch the touch screen calibration utility ? I can't find it anywhere. (Ubuntu 10.04) [19:16] root333: don't irc (or any regular tasks) as root [19:16] _eXeCuTeR, Just select the full drive option, Ubuntu installer will do the rest, assuming you want nothing but Ubuntu on the disk when your done. [19:16] is there any how to look for how long i have Ubuntu OS installed? [19:16] _eXeCuTeR, yes first you make clear which is xp partition and DONT touch it and then delete suse partition, it will create new free space now create new partitin in that freespace and tell ubuntu to be instaleld there [19:16] kubanc: ls -l /var/log/installer/* [19:16] <_eXeCuTeR> KE1HA, no..I wanna keep XP alive [19:17] _eXeCuTeR, in manual partition sheme it dont automatically alocates swap. you need to alocate it [19:17] _eXeCuTeR, then use the Migrate option. [19:17] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, is that possible to delete openSUSE partitions, then go back and choose the free space option? [19:17] ok, thnx [19:17] _eXeCuTeR, when you will delete suse partitino then you are going no where. you will be inside that same windows only [19:17] _eXeCuTeR: Yes, that would work. [19:18] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit and Jordan_U, thanks [19:18] hi all [19:18] hi [19:19] hey guys, is it possible that scripts in /etc/cron.daily were not executed on a server (so always running) in Ubuntu 8.04 ? [19:19] koi tva 4e ne razbiram neshto [19:19] <_eXeCuTeR> Jordan_U, didn't work :o [19:19] jorn, that's not possible [19:19] asus, english please? === _NG is now known as _ng [19:20] in /etc/crontab I find lines which test for anacron's existence, if it's there they do nothing... and anacron is started on boot, but exits after running all jobs that were left out [19:20] _eXeCuTeR: In what way did it not work? [19:20] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, well now openSUSE is erased and I have a block of free space. how could I tell ubuntu to use it? [19:20] jorn, if you restart frequently, it could have malfunctioned somehow to cause them to run constantly.. but unless you did somethign strange, it's highly unlikely. [19:21] I have the UUID, what do I put in fstab to automount the new hard drive (sdb1) when rebooted? [19:21] _eXeCuTeR, first click on that free space then select add button === cassiomelo is now known as su37 [19:21] aarcane: hmm, so 5 minutes after reboot there's no entry in ps aux | grep ana [19:21] so how is anacron going to run those jobs? [19:21] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, yes I'm there. I'm just not sure about swap (it's size and filesystem on it) and also about ext4 vs ext3 - never heard of ext4 in fact === ianwizard is now known as dEVOted [19:21] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, and also about partition type [19:21] _eXeCuTeR, which version of ubuntu you are installing? [19:21] Dravekx, if you use the Disk Utility under System >> Administration, it will sort that out for you. [19:21] and in crontab the lines look like this: test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) [19:22] Dravekx, device mount point fstype options dump pass [19:22] (cron is running) [19:22] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, last one available on ubuntu.com [19:22] KE1HA, I dont have a gui. [19:22] aarcane, ty :) === _ng is now known as _NG [19:22] but as anacron is installed it tests for its existence and quits without invoking it [19:22] _eXeCuTeR, assuming you mean lucid then filesystem type is ext4 and for swap there is separte option called swap [19:22] _eXeCuTeR: ext4 is generally faster, but incompatible if you want to mount it from windows. [19:22] Ahh, Ok, that aint gonna work then :-) [19:22] jorn, then none of the jobs needed to be run. [19:23] _eXeCuTeR, and how much ram do you have? [19:23] aarcane: either you or I don't understand... [19:23] ;) [19:23] Hello ! Need some help ! I inadvertantly removed the top right panel where the shut down option would be available....How do i retrieve it ?? [19:23] jorn, I think it's some of both [19:23] how do I launch the touch screen calibration utility ? I can't find it anywhere. (Ubuntu 10.04) [19:23] Not adding the shut down button to the panel again.. [19:23] are jobs in /etc/cron.daily executed on a daily basis even when the server is not rebooted? [19:23] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, hmm I think 512MB. not sure, might be 1GB but these are slight chances of 1GB. old laptop, can't recall [19:24] Aditya, right click on top panel and click "Add to panel" [19:24] Dravekx, Somthign close to this: /dev/sdb1 /media/mynewdrive ext3 defaults 0 2 [19:24] if yes: by hom? [19:24] s/hom/whom/ [19:24] !panels | Aditya [19:24] Aditya: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:24] xaviermdc - that's what i said..that i did... [19:24] where ext3 or 4 which ever you formated it too. [19:24] how do I download a folder like http://ports.gnu-darwin.org/x11/gtk-themepreview/work/ ? I tried wget -r, works, but that also takes all parent folders, so, the complete site [19:24] _eXeCuTeR, swap space shoud be double the size of your ram in your case [19:24] k [19:24] How to switch from CD1 to CD2 during linux installation in virtualbox === Unplugged is now known as yrkxek [19:24] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, im also not sure about type (primary/logical) and of the location (begging/end) [19:25] does anyone know if there's a reason `apt-get install openjdk-6-jre` on 8.04 would be failing all of a sudden? I'm getting "Package ca-certificates-java is not available, but is referred to by another package." [19:25] Dravekx, then you need to: sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mynewdrive [19:25] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, I'll go for 1500MB for swap, is that good? [19:25] The default one(shut down button) has a drop down list when u click on it.. However, the newly added would display a new window.. [19:25] qwe, when it ask you to enter 2nd cd that time eject 1cd and then after inset 2nd cd? [19:25] _eXeCuTeR, he told you how much swap to use, use that or quit asking. [19:25] _eXeCuTeR, swap on logical. / on primay and all other on logical [19:26] _eXeCuTeR, dont worry abotu beggineng/end [19:26] I was wondering about the tool remastersys (which I have used before perfectly). What I wanted to know is if would keep my custom kernels and my grub.cfg exactly the same as well (my best instinct says yes it would) but I would like to be sure before doing anything. Does anyone know? [19:26] _eXeCuTeR, no set swap to 2gb atleast [19:26] _eXeCuTeR, if you have that much space ofcourse [19:26] aarcane: ok, so what I think what happens is not that the jobs do not need to be run, but that anacron is never started again if you do not reboot [19:26] Just want to be sure it will preserve everything (granted that there is no errors in the process) [19:26] jorn: all the scripts in the directory will be run *if* /usr/sbin/anacron is executable. They will be run by root as per the crontab entry. [19:26] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, 2gb? ok. yeah, i've got 40GB available for linux [19:26] How to switch from CD1 (iso) to CD2(iso) during linux installation in virtualbox? I have media file link in virtualbox to the respective cd iso images [19:26] hello [19:26] _eXeCuTeR: if RAM is 512 1500 for swap is plenty, I have that also 512, is fine, I hardly use it; depends what you're going to do on ubuntu of course [19:27] rob_p: no, that would be && [19:27] but there's an || [19:27] is anyone here? [19:27] which is if first fails then second [19:27] if first succeeds (which it does) then nothing [19:27] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, so just press on Begging for all? what does it mean? [19:27] write: false || echo "jorn's right" [19:27] <_eXeCuTeR> VCoolio, I'll just use 2GB. thanks [19:27] !ask | ghoo [19:27] ghoo: 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. :-) [19:27] arghghhhhh....I have a new Ubuntu install, and for some reason no sound is coming from my Audigy 4 sound card...can anyone help? [19:27] _eXeCuTeR, dont press anywhere just leave the begining/end section as it is [19:28] How to switch from CD1 (iso) to CD2(iso) during linux installation in virtualbox? I have media file link in virtualbox to the respective cd iso images === _NG is now known as _ng [19:28] VCoolio, swap is a funny thing.. on my debian router, I have 10GB of swap PER DRIVE, but on my netbooks, I keep NO swap because if I'm swapping, I shouldn't be on those systems [19:28] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, begging is selected. btw, where should swap be mounted? [19:28] jorn: the || acts as a stop if the first argument exits with a status of 1 otherwise the second will proceed [19:28] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, nevermind :p [19:28] ok [19:28] rob_p: in what language? [19:28] how do I launch the touch screen calibration utility ? I can't find it anywhere. (Ubuntu 10.04) [19:28] jorn: shell script (sh, bash, etc.) [19:28] rob_p: just go to your shell and write this: "true || echo 'something'" [19:28] please [19:29] :) [19:29] and see how it does _not_ echo [19:29] that's why anacron is never run by cron again [19:29] abhijit - I want the same shutdown button, this is different from what it used to be as default..It's drops down a list..where as the added button would show up a new window..How do i get the default panel.. [19:29] * [19:29] so you boot, it does all the leftover work... but then when your server's up for ages, it's never run again [19:29] rob_p: maybe you're confusing || with && [19:29] Aditya, http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [19:29] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, back to ext3 vs ext4 - i didn't really realize. someone told that ext4 is not compitable with windows [19:29] Aditya: Are you using GNOME or KDE? [19:30] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, and I might mount windows partitions in future. any suggestions? [19:30] _eXeCuTeR, ext4 for lucid thats it [19:30] but it would be quite awesome to have this bug in ubuntu since 8.04 (and actually being fixed by upstart?)

[19:35] magnetro thats what i want [19:35] guampa: It can be thought of as a logical OR. [19:35] I am here and you are there.. [19:35] perfect [19:36] Alez, and your question is ? [19:36] i know the meaning, just not aware that OR exists in that form in bash [19:36] I'm actually a newborn to linux but I found out how much better it is than windows.

[19:38] _eXeCuTeR, when you crete new partition from free space the format option is checked by defualt [19:38] Yeah i'm quite sure my unbuntu is old. [19:38] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, Hmm well swap partition is now checked. when trying to change, option doesn't exist [19:38] Alez, http://library.linode.com/development/project-management/redmine/ubuntu-10.04-lucid [19:38] * guampa has run false || echo "i'm a sucka" and shuts up [19:38] as heck, if I can't curse in here.

[19:38] _eXeCuTeR, swap will not have this format option you just select from mount point - swap area thats it about swap [19:38] my unbuntu is old, smh. [19:39] guys, can anyone help? I've just installed 10.04 and I have no audio whatsoever with my audigy 4 card? [19:39] KE1HA: Hey... there is small panel below the running screen whihc indicates HS usage, USB selection and even CD/DVD ...there one can find the option to switching to previously selected option. There exactly is the option for changing CD...oversight :-) [19:39] !sound | mikebeecham [19:39] mikebeecham: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [19:39] !patients | Erikpost [19:39] KE1HA: *which *HD [19:39] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, alright. yeah, im fimiliar with swap concept and page replacment, just not sure about the word `format` and what does it mean in essence [19:39] !patience | Erikpost [19:39] Erikpost: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [19:40] hi at all, guys! i've installed gifTUI with ares plugin, but actually it doesn't connect! this is what appears in my terminal: http://pfpf.pastebin.com/rg28MNkC [19:40] If I get an update from this 8. w/e to a more recent model when Iose all my current programs and such? [19:40] _eXeCuTeR, hmm [19:40] Magnetro: Depends on how you upgrade [19:40] I lose* [19:40] have anyone tried to setup redmine? [19:40] really, how so? [19:40] actually, [19:40] or am I the only one?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:41] qwe, I dont know what screen your on. Best place for virtual box quesiotns is #vbox channel [19:41] guampa: A good example of the || is in the crontab when it checks to see that anacron is executable. If it is, then the actual command (run-parts) gets executed. [19:41] alez: porb bete rto post in the forums about that [19:41] really, how so Sorry channel lol.. [19:41] hi at all, guys! i've installed gifTUI with ares plugin, but actually it doesn't connect! this is what appears in my terminal: http://pfpf.pastebin.com/rg28MNkC [19:41] Magnetro: if you do a fresh install you'll lose anything you've not backed up; if you do an inline upgrade, you may lose a couple deprecated app, but that's about it [19:42] have anyone installed redmine? [19:42] Inline upgrade? Google that for instructions huh? [19:42] rob_p: i'm not sure i follow you. a logical OR executes regardless the precondition is TRUE or FALSE [19:42] a logical AND only if its TRUE [19:42] Magnetro: Before any upgrade though, it is highly advised that you back up [19:42] !redmine > Alez [19:42] Abhijit - Thank you ! [19:42] guampa: Actually, I have it backwards! [19:42] Alez, what is you actually wanted to do? [19:42] n't connect! this is what appears in my terminal: http://pfpf.pastebin.com/rg28MNkC [19:43] Aditya, does it worked? [19:43] I wanted to get it up running [19:43] Magnetro: that's what you do when you upgrade from the repos instead of installing from a CD [19:43] I have installed LAMP [19:43] guampa: I was thinking of the exit status, not the OR function. [19:43] if i have 6GB of ram and a 64 bit compatible prossessor is it really that much better to get the 64bit ubuntu os or is the 32 bit fine? [19:43] hi at all, guys! i've installed gifTUI with ares plugin, but actually it doesn't connect! this is what appears in my terminal: http://pfpf.pastebin.com/rg28MNkC HELP! [19:43] Linux Apache Mysql and PHP [19:43] I did the easy way of installing redmine with packages [19:43] bathacid: it will be but right now the gains you'll net is minimal [19:43] Alez, see this? [19:43] Alez, http://wiki.ousli.org/index.php/RedmineUbuntu [19:44] guampa: If anacron is executable, then *don't* run the run-parts utility! :-) [19:44] bathacid: With that amount of RAM you need the 64bit version. [19:44] guampa: Sry about the confusion! [19:44] KE1HA: Thank you.. i was conveying the solution alone [19:44] Alez, next best place is #ubuntu-server channel [19:44] I see, syn-ack....thanks for the advise; what kind of model do you have? [19:44] bathacid, OR use PAE kernel for 32bit [19:44] hi at all, guys! i've installed gifTUI with ares plugin, but actually it doesn't connect! this is what appears in my terminal: http://pfpf.pastebin.com/rg28MNkC Anyone can help me please, that's so frustating! [19:44] thank you:) [19:44] Magnetro: I generally do a fresh install when I upgrade. [19:45] is it possible to see what games are available in the repos without being on/in Linux? [19:45] anyone uses qmmp with custom skins, private message please.

Maybe only a hunch, but i'm dealing with seriously annoying problems with it. [19:45] KE1HA: Thank you for all the help till date :-) [19:45] _eXeCuTeR, what stage you are now? [19:46] virtualbox is faster [19:46] ive used both... [19:46] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, installation :) thanks again! [19:46] Magnetro: I don't touch wine if I can help it [19:46] is there any downfall to using 64bit ubuntu? [19:46] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, 55% so far [19:46] bathacid: not really. [19:46] bathacid: no [19:46] _eXeCuTeR, ok. good luck. now i am going. bye !!! :) [19:46] enter, entre, go in #io_group is a chat for hackers muahauhsauhsua [19:46] enter, entre, go in #io_group is a chat for hackers muahauhsauhsuaenter, entre, go in #io_group is a chat for hackers muahauhsauhsuaenter, entre, go in #io_group is a chat for hackers muahauhsauhsua [19:46] <_eXeCuTeR> abhijit, bye, thanks! :) [19:46] You don't deal with windows eh?

[19:54] blinkyb, that was like 5+ years ago i believe [19:54] I'm not part of a flood.... [19:54] thanks KE1HA [19:55] Please ignore the spam. [19:55] blinky you mean xmms?

[19:55] minimec: can I use winamp skins as well? [19:55] blind, winamp2 skins work in audacious i believe [19:55] i know this may sound odd just bear with me is there a way like in windows to upgrade your machine from 32 to 64 with out del your files or is there no way to "upgrade" only fresh install? [19:55] !flood > dflkwe [19:55] WillWork4Foo: I guess so, I'm just not used to bots, if that was a bot [19:55] blinkyb, sorry ^^ [19:56] blinkyb: The old winamp skins yes.

[19:58] I'm pretty much ready to start giving away free cash for anyone who can make the audio work on ubuntu!!! [19:58] Thanks! I'll try it out! [19:58] what system are you using [19:58] and what version of ubuntu [19:59] mikebeecham, Free Cash / That's almost a double negative. [19:59] if they can get the audio to work, then its not free cash [19:59] klay: blinkyb: xmms inot inclided in the ubuntu repository anymore, due to the gtk1 interface. [19:59] oh FFS. The usual picky silliness that plagues bugfixing efforts appears to have strangled the one bug that most concerns me, and that is preventing me from using Ubuntu. [19:59] KE1HA: lol...I know mate, but I'm now desperate bro [19:59] oh no [19:59] what about just dling a *deb file [19:59] mikebeecham: whats the problem? [19:59] KE1HA: dont know what else to do... [19:59] rob_p: yupp [19:59] who cares if its in repository [19:59] mikebeecham, I'd have a go at it, but Im definitely not a audio driver guru. [20:00] mikebeecham: is this a laptop? [20:00] aeon-ltd: I did a fresh install of 10.04 today, and now I have no sound from my audigy 4 card. The card is recognised, and I have enable the sound through also mixer, but there is still no sound [20:01] mikebeecham: double check alsamixer do they all show 00 and are all outputs maxed out? [20:01] jorn: Yeah, I inadvertently misled you earlier. If the anacron is executable then *don't* execute run-parts. Sorry about that. I always forget that an exit status of 0 is success, not 1! :-) [20:01] rob_p: actually I see that the problem is solved in 10.04 by including an anacron cronjob: /etc/cron.d/anacron the line which is commented out is the one I use now ;) [20:01] WillWork4Foo: there is some possible gconf workaround (which I'm still looking for), and a module loading thing to check. [20:01] KE1HA, the link you posted did include a calibrationt ool, but running it (repeatedly even) didn't result in a properly calibrated touch screen :( [20:01] castironpi, hows the caydog shape going [20:02] aeon-ltd: tI have alsa-mixer open at the moment, but they're not all maxed out [20:02] hi, last couple of days my mouse doesn't left click anymore till i restart the X, right click works fine (show contextual menus) also hover works but when i left click nothing happens, is there a way to fix it? [20:02] rob_p: but would be nice to see this backported to 8.04 (it's actually only adding this file in the anacron package). I regard this a serious security problem as it hindered my server updating its antivir-db for months now [20:02] aarcane, I've not used it b4, just searched fer it for others, so its no good ey ? [20:02] mikebeecham: max'em [20:02] anyone running < 10.4? [20:02] thune3: I've tried the gconf workaround, and it prevents the thing from randomly hibernating... however, I'd really like to get accurate battery status reporting! [20:02] but I don't know how long LTS is ;) [20:02] how do i get shockwave for ubuntu [20:02] !lts [20:02] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [20:03] KE1HA, it seems good, but I don't think my touch screen wants to calibrate. it's a T91, and this thing has been a linux nightmare from day 1 [20:03] is there anyway to check to see if my hard drive is good enough to format with out becoming damaged this wont be my first time formating [20:03] mikebeecham: I would check the 'Sound Preferences' of the volume applet first. Is pulse using the correct hardware? Also check the 'Connector' in the 'Output'-Tab. [20:03] WillWork4Foo: so you tried the "use_time_for_policy" change? [20:03] !lts|jorn [20:03] jorn: please see above [20:03] aarcane, Ok, so may be more HW specific then. [20:03] does anyone use shuttle pc here? [20:03] ubottu: k, in that case I'll file it as bug [20:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:03] *g* [20:03] how do i get shockwave for ubuntu? anyone [20:03] KE1HA, that's what I think. I'm going to give up and go back to win7 for that netbook for now, thanks for the help [20:03] Professor_G_: You don't. there is no shockwave for Linux. [20:04] fcuk112, Nice shop btw, shuttle you mean shuttle barebones build ? [20:04] hello. if i switch to tty1 i see just blinking cursor, anyone knows how to fix it? [20:04] thune3: yep, doesn't change things.

[20:11] KomiaPoika: I remeber now... Put the 'Connector' back to 'Analog Output' That should give you the sound back. === Jurkki_ is now known as Jurkki [20:11] Is it possible to enlarge a wubi virtual install disk (ubuntu 10.04) [20:11] ?

[20:12] KomiaPoika: My guess was, that if you change the connector to Analog Headphones, that it would cut the speakers and redirect sound to the Headphone (other speaker) [20:12] KE1HA, thanks i'll try that. [20:12] fcuk112, make sure you enable all the CPU C1E, etc etc throttling, else it will overheat. [20:13] minimec: only with "analog speakers" i have sound, with "analog output", i don't have sound at all, even trying all 7 sound profiles in the hardware tab [20:14] chkdsk, Im not done it, but you could run the installer again, and re-set the disk allocation. [20:14] KomiaPoika: Check alsamixer in a console and verify, that the volume settings are correct for 'Headphones' [20:14] How to move the notification area to the lower right corner ???

[20:14] _eXeCuTeR: Then I guess you've found it. :D [20:14] sometux, Right click on the panel you want notification area on. Add to panel, select the notification area. Remove it from the other panel. [20:15] sometux, It's easy. You're most likely over thinking it. [20:15] <_eXeCuTeR> syn-ack, lol, i mean establish internet connection in ubuntu [20:15] chkdsk, I dont honestly know, but the setup allows your to define disk space allocation, that much I know.

Bottom line. If it's on the panel it's an applet. You just have to figure out what applet it is so you can add it to a new panel. [20:16] mikebeecham, the Bongo's :-) is that liek the opposite of trumpets ? [20:16] _eXeCuTeR: network manager lives in the upper right of your screen by the clock [20:17] sometux, Ooh, Do you mean the notification system? I don't know if you can move those.

I usually just do apt-get upgrade and let everything update [20:31] harmandeep: The CD has the standard install, the DVD usually has extra language packs and other stuff. But please read the site or official documents to make certain that you are getting what you need. [20:32] ports88: -p 88 [20:32] harmandeep: With the DVD you get the whole bunch of packages.

[20:32] how to increase the internet download speed in lucid lynx [20:32] gonzojive, No, but that 173 Driver and the stock UB NV driver has been causing issues. In restricted driver, go with the (recomended driver), that seems to resolve the issues. [20:32] clicking doesn't shift them, they go translucent on rollover, and they stay forever [20:32] what obvious thing am I missing? [20:33] what is the "adm" group and is it related to "admin"?

[20:34] ZykoticK9: thanks, I am running ubuntu server and don't have an admin group. is this to be expected? [20:34] gonzojive, you can boot the desktop at all ? [20:34] KomiaPoika: If I remember correctly. You can play a youtube flash file on both of the Monitors, but no local video, right? Did you try alternate software like vlc or mplayer? [20:34] erUSUL, thanks a lot man, it works :))) [20:34] !who > babu__ [20:34] babu__, please see my private message [20:34] VCoolio, that worked!, thanks! [20:34] yonahw, i don't think so... you could as in #ubuntu-server to be sure [20:34] but i don have internet connection always .... [20:34] KE1HA: yes, I can. I just get crashes intermittently every few hours [20:34] minimec: yes, that is correct. no matter the player, it shows a black video in window or grey video in fullscreen, with the sound playing normally [20:34] ZykoticK9: thanks [20:34] It's driving me mad - also, I have a room full of these machines, and I haven't seen one person work it out yet [20:35] babu__, I like to use axel. [20:35] be it IM notifications, the apparmor thing, whatever [20:35] Hello. [20:35] and you tried totem and vlc? [20:35] Can anyone recommend me a decent free video editor? [20:35] KomiaPoika: and you tried totem and vlc? [20:35] gonzojive, log in, go to the restricted Driver setion, and load that recommended driver. Im using Dual 8800GT's on this box, and that solved my issue similar to what your seeing on the SMP kernel. === Ziaeon is now known as Ziaeon_ [20:35] Zirts: openshot, pitivi, avidemux, cinelerra kino ... [20:36] Thnaks! [20:36] minimec: yes, same result with any player [20:36] Come on, everyone else is getting past this with ease, and I'm being an idiot [20:36] feel free to inform me in an insulting way if you want [20:36] how to download it [20:36] gonzojive, or, you could donload the latest NV drivers, install build-essential and kernel-headers and build them yourself, that's worked for me also. [20:36] !who | babu__ [20:36] babu__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:36] !who>babu__ [20:36] babu__, please see my private message [20:37] babu__, eh? [20:37] how to download axel [20:37] how does one make, a notification, go away? [20:37] KomiaPoika: That is really strange. I have a ATI 9600 in Dual mode here and a Nvidia 7600GS (Dual too) I never had that kind of problems... Also if I remember well 'Direct Rendering' is working ok, right? [20:37] ubuntu 10.04, gnome [20:37] babu__, sudo apt-get install axel [20:38] minimec: how do i check that? glx gears are working at 3.5jfps [20:38] notifications stay around for minutes. [20:38] minimec: how do i check that? glx gears are working at 3.5kfps [20:38] cannot make them disappear [20:38] #0 - quiznoBot [20:38] #1 - quiznoBot.o [20:38] #2 - quiznoBot.c~ [20:38] edb: you don't, you need to wait for them to timeout in notify-osd, I believe notification-daemon has the functionality though [20:38] babu__, then you can run it with the command axel -a [20:38] I have serious screen tearing on ubuntu, i have a radeon 5750 on ubuntu 10.4, any help? === levon is now known as Guest54738 [20:38] so in effect, it is a very very bad idea to have it on IMs by default, then, for instance [20:38] KomiaPoika: Hehe... 3,5fs? So no direct rendering. Check the output of glxinfo [20:39] 3500fps [20:39] you using proprietary or open-source? [20:39] proprietary [20:39] KomiaPoika: Ok. Direct rendering is working ;) [20:39] direct rendering: Yes [20:39] is it able to downlaod video files also....because wget sometimes cannot downlaod the video file [20:39] KE1HA: I think i've got the recommended driver installed now. what do you reccommend for diagnosing video card issues? is there a log for it? [20:39] because people will assume part of their private conversation went away like it does with.. well, everything else ever [20:39] and bang, they minimise a window and there it is [20:40] with only the laptop's monitor, video plays fine, with 2 monitors, only black output [20:40] and have you tried the open-source ones? ATI proprietarys are ofthen caousing such problems [20:40] *sigh* [20:40] KomiaPoika: That is really strange and goes beyond my experience. [20:40] i have serious screen tearing, even on browser window with no video, scrooling is terriblr. [20:40] hola [20:40] babu__, did you read what ubottu said? [20:40] donde esta el chat en español? [20:40] other than syslog or dmesg I dont think so. [20:40] I think aeon-ltd's given up on me already :D [20:40] I myself have a ATI too, and for me the open-source ones are a 10x better option [20:40] babu__, you need to prefix messages with my name [20:40] how can i install ubuntu on a raid5 drive? [20:40] open source works as bad [20:40] !es | aronaliaga [20:40] I've not had any trouble wiht the recomended NV restricted driver though.

[20:41] babu__, it can download whatever wget can. wget should be able to download anything [20:41] KomiaPoika: lspci |grep VGA [20:41] have you configured your xorg.conf? and do you have direct rendering on ?

[20:43] babu__: If wget was unable to download something, it means that something went wrong outside of wget's control. Perhaps it's because of the copy protection youtube has on things.

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:45] jasonlife: why are you still on 8.10? [22:45] is there any "probably" reason, why my Lubuntu is very slow now? From one day to another it went very slow, mostly on youtube and Flash web pages. [22:45] lov255, that has nothing to do with ubuntu [22:45] that's sorta... old [22:45] I need some GParted help. I'm trying to help my nephew. He wants to remove a Jaunty partition and its swap, leaving Lucid and its swap. [22:45] Hey guys, I just formatted a partition of an external USB2 hard drive, and I notice a folder "lost+found", that is locked and I do not have privlages to, even though I have chowned the entire partition. What is this folder, and how can I remove it? [22:45] bazhang it has everything to do with Ubuntu seeing that I am trying to get it to run on Ubuntu [22:46] DexterF: can you check xorg version and intel driver version for me? dpkg -l "*xorg*" and dpkg -l "*intel*" [22:46] lov255, try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:46] oh i tried that method too [22:46] bazhang it is not an offtopic matter [22:46] but i can't find the location of the partition [22:46] anyone know how to get it to work in Ubuntu? [22:46] DexterF: That directory is on all extN filesystems, it's where files that are recovered during fsck are put if the original path can't be determined. [22:46] jasonlife: packages.ubuntu.com - you can check versions for any package for any release there [22:46] Jordan_U: uh? [22:46] Divecks: is a folder where extn fsck moves files that were lost but it found during check. it is needed do not remove it [22:47] i dont have the pencil thing to the left or the location bar [22:47] DexterF: no 8.10 there.. [22:47] DexterF: Sorry, wrong nick. [22:47] the swap partitions are locked even though he booted to LiveCD. [22:47] shawnboy: Run "sudo swapoff -a" [22:48] erUSUL, Oh okay. Is there any way to prevent nautilus from seeing it? It seems to me like that folder shouldn't really be visible at all. Perhaps putting a period before it? [22:48] that was it. thanks Jordan_U [22:48] jasonlife: hey, indeed - weird... I'm on 9.10, can't help [22:48] Divecks, i think you just have to ignore it [22:48] are we in #ubuntu-unregged or #ubuntu? [22:48] shawnboy: You're welcome. [22:48] lov255, #ubuntu [22:48] Anyone have any experience with using logmein on Ubuntu? [22:49] ZykoticK9, Really? That seems pretty silly to me, but okay. [22:49] any good tools to figure out what is filling up memory and why Im going into swap sometimes? [22:49] osmosis, top or htop [22:49] what is the code name for 8.10 ? [22:49] !8.10 [22:49] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [22:50] bazhang, what about something with a history ? [22:50] !eol [22:50] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:50] Jordan_U: nephew put on 2 swap partitions when he created paritions. Does it matter which he deletes now? [22:50] lov255, no, ubuntu users use ssh, or vnc and logmein has a linux client and info @ https://secure.logmein.com/labs/ but it is not supported here :-) [22:50] jasonlife: curios: why no upgrade? [22:51] shawnboy, not really [22:51] oer: I can not get it working, the reason I need it is for my clients, I ahve all their windows machines in my logmein [22:51] osmosis: "vmstat 1" ? [22:51] DexterF: I just want to check the X version and intel driver version in 8.10.. [22:51] shawnboy: It's likely that one was created during the jaunty install, and the other during the lucid install. Check lucid's /etc/fstab to see which it's actually configured to use. [22:51] Is there any way to have my system wake up from wireless? Like wake on lan, only without a wired ethernet connection. [22:51] jasonlife: ah - intel video driver madness? [22:52] Well let me ask a different question - is there a way to log into my ubuntu machine from a windows machine? [22:52] jasonlife, perhaps you could check on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [22:52] lov255: putty [22:52] http://packages.ubuntu.com/ doesn't have 8.10 [22:52] ZykoticK9: told him that - for reasons beyond me pbu doesnt list intrepid [22:52] jasonlife, ops sorry 8.10 has been removed - that won't work [22:52] thanks [22:52] why was it removed? even 8.04... ah! LTS! [22:53] lov255: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html === ^hiku^ is now known as hiku [22:53] DexterF, jasonlife obviously packages only shows supported versions [22:53] I see [22:53] it even lists 6.06 tho, and that's EOL since june I'd guess [22:53] DexterF, not for servers [22:54] seriously? how long will 606 be supported? [22:54] what is the offical site for Putty? [22:54] some know if DW1501 Lan is compatible with linux? [22:54] lov255: Is it a java applet? (logmein) [22:54] lov255, 5 years on server [22:54] lov255: hte one I linked, if you wanna play it safe search wikipedia and follow their links [22:54] DexterF, 5 years on server (sorry lov255) [22:54] * DexterF just remembered it's 2010 :D === Zeike is now known as brandonj [22:55] Thanks DexterF - did not see the link posted [22:55] * DexterF takes his medicine (10 yr Glen Morangie single malt) [22:55] What a mess this is. [22:56] Hi, I'm running Lucid on an eeePC 1000, and I can't seem to get nm-applet to authenticate with a WPA2 protected wireless network. What steps can I take to troubleshoot? [22:56] System Bandwidth: [22:56] Main RAM: 25.6GB/s [22:56] VRAM: 22.4GB/s [22:56] RSX: 20GB/s (write) + 15GB/s (read) [22:56] SB: 2.5GB/s (write) + 2.5GB/s (read) [22:56] krysis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:56] wazat? [22:56] hi all :) Anyone have any idea why my wireless network icon in the notification tray is showing as disconnected - and I'm clearly connected (coz otherwise I wouldn't be on here!) [22:56] alecstory: got any error msg? checked dmesg? var/log/messages? === elkclone_ is now known as elkclone [22:57] WillWork4Foo, after a recent update? [22:57] DexterF: I'm not sure how to check that, but I'll look in v/l/m [22:58] alecstory: just open with less and jump to the end, see if there's anything suspicious there. same with dmesg | less [22:58] bazhang, I've JUST installed from scratch and applied all the latest updates this evening. [22:58] just see if it tells about network stuff [22:58] DexterF: kk, will do [22:59] WillWork4Foo, networkmanager applet bug I suppose; having the same issue here and Firefox assumes offline [22:59] bazhang, that's even more annoying. My networking works, but my networkmanager icon is showing as disconnected [23:00] WillWork4Foo, yes, same here; likely a fix is in the works as its so widespread [23:00] DexterF: http://paste.ubuntu.com/480648/ [23:01] lots of that, but nothing else [23:01] bazhang, hope so. I've got my fingers crossed that Natty Narwhal will solve all my current annoyances, and give me a minimal number of new ones. [23:02] alecstory: doesnt look too odd. didi it work before? on another OS/distro/version? what hardware you got? what happens when you try to connect? [23:03] DexterF: I just resuscitated this laptop, but WPA worked back in June [23:03] I'm on an eeepc 1000, I'm not sure how to tell you the wifi card. [23:03] !putty [23:03] PuTTY is an !SSH client for Windows. Please see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage and downloads. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) [23:03] alecstory: lspci | grep -i net [23:03] alecstory: so - what happens when you try to connect? [23:04] DexterF: it tries and tries and tries and then spits me back to a password prompt. I've re-typed the password, and copy-pasted it from the router's config, so I'm pretty confident [23:04] alecstory: does the network manager *see* your wifi net? [23:05] DexterF: yes, sorry if I'm being unclear [23:05] erUSUL: RaLink RT2860 [23:05] alecstory: what router you got? [23:05] DexterF: Belkin Wireless N, it works with other peoples' mac and windows computers [23:05] got any other wifi client around to test? mobile, laptop,...? [23:06] it works on other computers around me [23:06] i see [23:06] weird [23:06] yeah, I've never had a problem like this before [23:06] so - that's the same installation as when you last used the machine? [23:06] no reinstall or such? [23:06] yes [23:06] hm. [23:06] but I didn't use it on this network [23:06] should I go find some other network to test it with? [23:07] if you can I guess it helps ruling out that the wifi soft isnt broken altogether [23:07] yeah, I'll go try that, and report back. Could be a while [23:07] ill be back myself in 10 or so [23:08] kk, bbl, thanks [23:08] alecstory: MAC filter on the router? [23:09] DexterF: sorry, missed that last one, saw it as I hit quit [23:09] please repeat === svm_invictvs- is now known as svm_invictvs === _ng is now known as _NG [23:17] need help with a wireless connection, pm for details [23:17] Nilos, please ask here [23:18] ok, well I got the driver working and it sees my device.However when I attempt to run some scripts that USED to get me connected I got the message NO DHCP OFFERS RECIEVED [23:19] ok, well I got the driver working and it sees my device. [23:19] However when I attempt to run some scripts that USED to get me connected I got the message: NO DHCP OFFERS RECEIVED [23:20] none of the packets went through [23:26] Dose anyone know how to install Ubuntu 10.04 on a old eMac G4 Power PC with Mac 10.4.11? [23:27] alecstory: MAC filter on the router? [23:27] NickHansonNet, i'm not sure (i don't think) that 10.04 supports PowerPC (i could certainly be wrong) [23:27] from what you tell us it rather sounds like the router is locking you out [23:27] Ok [23:28] Ubuntu 6.10 was the last officially supported PowerPC version of Ubuntu. [23:28] How do you become a moderator here? [23:28] NickHansonNet: have you check out the community page for ppc support really [23:28] !ppc | NickHansonNet [23:28] NickHansonNet: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [23:28] NickHansonNet: checked if there's ppc install media? [23:28] ah, there we go [23:29] NickHansonNet: Don't ask that. [23:29] DexterF: don't think so. I'm not going to be able to get to another network soon, sadly [23:29] /sigh [23:30] alecstory: if all else fails you could give wireshark a shot and see what's what... that's voodoo then, tho [23:30] I'm having a bit of trouble with my dialup connection, with gnome-ppp not being able to open/see my modem. I've downloaded the driver from the manufacturer's website, and ran it through wine, but it was not for my model. I then tried downloading the conexant version of my driver, and it still cannot open my modem to connect. is there anyone that knows what I should try next? [23:31] Aliselyn: Drivers through Wine?!? Sorry, Can't happen. [23:31] Aliselyn, you shouldn't install drivers through wine. [23:31] Aliselyn, ya, you can't use windows drivers - you'd need a linux driver [23:31] those won't work [23:32] Valiant Effort though [23:32] Ya it needs to be compatible with Linux things :) [23:32] What model conx modem is it? [23:33] DexterF: wireshark? [23:33] alecstory: if you never heard of it, you don't wanna go there, really :) [23:33] ? having problem compiling .c [23:33] network sniffer, shows you the data packages sent over a network interface [23:33] getting this error crunch.c:1: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘<’ token [23:34] Heixpo: Try to say your question on one line. [23:34] DexterF: so where else should I take my problem? [23:34] Heixpo: but anyway... What is the issue that arises? [23:35] MichealH, i amd tring to compile a c code and ^ is the output [23:35] alecstory: well.. next steps are ruling out culprits. so: test eee on another wifi, if that's succesful check out the router. if you have access to it try temporarily disabling encryption and other security measures [23:36] hiexpo, there is obliously an error in the syntax [23:36] ok, thanks, I'll try that [23:36] Hiexpo: You using gcc? [23:36] alecstory: maybe the folks from aircrack-ng can help, they have a channel here. they're surprisingly friendly towards "normal" people :D [23:36] yes [23:36] hiexpo, this probably is not the best channel for programming questions like that. [23:37] ok i gotta go brb soon thanks [23:37] Heixpo: We can't do the code for you! :S [23:37] hiexpo, look back on your code, three should be a ( before < some where find it like a good programmer. [23:37] alecstory: then again - install wireshark, run as root and see if you can make somethign useful of it. perhaps googling specific functions helps. [23:37] hiexpo, ive code C++ and i hear C is much like it so i might be right [23:37] I'd check youtube for tutorials, too [23:38] DexterF: Were trying to help the user, not pass the help over to a site. [23:39] i downloaded a .iso image from the net. k3b shows a md5sum of one thing, the read me shows an md5 of another, this doesnt mean i got a bad file would it? [23:39] MichealH: yeah, liek you spent the last hour to help, thanks a lot, mr self righteous [23:39] Zus: Yup [23:40] I'm having a bit of trouble with my dialup connection, with gnome-ppp not being able to open/see my modem. I've downloaded the driver from the manufacturer's website, and ran it through wine, but it was not for my model. I then tried downloading the conexant version of my driver, and it still cannot open my modem to connect. is there anyone that knows what I should try next? (sorry for the repeat, my internet died after I p [23:40] DexterF: :/ [23:40] Aliselyn: you cant run things via wine [23:40] TiK: what do you mean? [23:41] Aliselyn: you can not install drivers with wine [23:41] TiK: Agreed [23:41] Aliselyn, you can't use wine for the driver, it doesn't work that way. What model Modem do you have ? [23:41] They don't have the compatibility [23:41] yo yo yo [23:41] would redownloading the file fix it? [23:41] KE1HA: CXT AC-Link Modem [23:41] KE1HA: still at it. you are a help machine [23:41] zus:most likely [23:42] zus: www.ubuntu.com :D [23:42] Aliselyn, ok, hold on one. [23:42] Aliselyn: Also, repeating your question won't help. [23:42] Having trouble with my wireless connection.I did a "iwconfig" and I see the interface, also it does see the wireless adapter, but whenecver I try to connect I get the message NO DHCPOFFERS RECEIVED [23:42] KE1HA: thank you [23:42] Nilos [23:42] thanks [23:42] whats output of iwconfig [23:42] can you priv msg me? [23:42] I would like to hear line-in through my headphones (with no delay). I have unmuted and turned everything up in alsamixer but still hear nothing. Thanks (running 9.10) [23:43] MichaelH: I couldn't see any responses after mine, because my internet died, and disconnected me. I didn't know what else to say [23:43] Nilos: does your isp offer automatic DHCP ip's or do you have to specify one? [23:43] Aliselyn: Ahhh, Okay :D [23:43] Nilos [23:44] Tik, its automatic [23:44] airhgt --- did you run "iwconfig eth1 essid "network name" [23:44] ? [23:44] yeah I did all that [23:44] yeah and its not associating [23:44] Sinusolid: What are you doing? [23:44] that's interesting [23:44] Aliselyn, Not looking too good at the moment. Sttill looking a good Install procedure. [23:44] itb kept sending packets \ [23:45] michael -- helping... did i get in the middle of you guys helping him [23:45] Sinusolid: Nope, It's just you were saying his nickname. Which was a bit weird :/ [23:45] i actually had the same problem with my wifi [23:46] Aliselyn, Here's the Site, but unless you've got an Inet Connection already, you can't really Download the needed files: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Conexant [23:46] lol -- been a while since I did IRC [23:47] nilos -- have you looked at /var/log/jockey... yet?

[23:52] KE1HA: do you think the Jaunty download would work on Lucid? [23:52] I think so cuz you have to compile it. [23:52] it is not doing it well, so i am wondering if it is a driver issue... (also, I keep hearing flash playback sucks in ubuntu anyway, so narrowing it down is really difficult) [23:53] are theyre any good tutorials on how to make files into iso? like an "OS" files [23:53] Aliselyn: No promises though :P [23:53] zus -- there is a utility in unix...

[23:58] kthomas_vh, just lower them all [23:58] kish: the boonies, that's all you need to know :) somewhere cable does not run [23:59] kish, point taken [23:59] Hi, I have an Internet-facing Ubuntu 10.04 server. I am planning to use a regular user account + sudo for sysadmin purposes and NOT set a root password, so root can't login over SSH no matter what. I also want to enable mandatory public key authentication (in addition to password). Is this a good idea for security? [23:59] oh florida [23:59] allquixotic, its not a bad idea [23:59] Aliselyn, and no 3G?
