[00:00] o.o [00:00] !wtf | Maletor [00:00] Maletor: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:00] Maletor: not a Ubuntu package, but a nice GUI LVM tool is the Fedora system-config-lvm app, use alien to conver to .deb and you can manage the LVM anyway you choose. [00:00] atm im ssh to the server. [00:00] KE1HA: I need to unmount /var however [00:00] No gui can do that [00:01] Maletor: is /var in the LVM ? [00:01] KE1HA: yes [00:01] Daskreech: I did automatic and manual. [00:01] Maletor: Bummer :-)\ [00:01] KE1HA: tell me about it [00:01] Maletor: I've not moved /var before, let me see if I can figure it out. [00:01] Maletor: it's a good challange fer the day [00:02] rename it [00:02] Has anyone installed FreeNX before on ubuntu? [00:02] Raymond: where are you gettin the freeNX from? [00:02] so, um... while running memtest86, "Pass" should probably be rising above 0% at some point, yeah? [00:02] Dask there offical site. [00:02] Raymond: how's it different?

[00:03] KE1HA: ya, well it's in a RAID too so I've been having troubling booting into the live cd and mounting and chrooting [00:03] Can I be linked the dualbooting ubuntu and os x please? [00:03] MJ94: why can't you google it? [00:03] I did [00:03] Raymond: they should have instructions on the install from there [00:03] cant find the page [00:03] Dask it wont work. [00:03] MJ94: theres no official page [00:03] Raymond: Why not? [00:04] Like resposity adding and etc. [00:04] Maletor: See this page, not good Im affraid: http://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/UbuntuVarRun === cellofellow is now known as eldercello [00:04] I just want to install apache, curl, mysql thats all [00:04] :P [00:04] onto my linux server [00:04] Maletor: Find this line" f you started out without a separate /var filesystem and now want to move to one, apparently your life just .. .. " [00:04] MJ94: intel? [00:05] Wow my life does just suck. [00:05] Hope someone can help me. [00:05] MJ94: heres one for intel cpus Ubuntu [00:05] MJ94: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac [00:05] KE1HA: Well, this is bad. I can't undo the LVM then. [00:05] Raymond: sudo apt-get install apache curl mysql [00:05] MJ94: more general one http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Triple_Boot_Mac_OS,_XP,_and_Linux_on_a_Mac [00:05] Hello, I have a question. If I migrate to an encrypted home directory, and I have a backup that runs when my machine starts (at most once a day), how can I make sure that it doesn't backup cleartext files? [00:05] Thats all? [00:05] o.o [00:05] "sudo apt-get install apache curl mysql" [00:06] Raymond: yes [00:06] What about configuring mysql and etc. [00:06] KE1HA: Also, the real world problem I am trying to solve is ureadahead errors due to a separate /var 'lvm' [00:06] Would you like anything else installed? [00:06] Maletor: Ahh, readahead is good, sometimes !! [00:06] Dask.. [00:06] Raymond: defaults are done on install the server is started so you'll have mysql and apache running as soon as it's done It will ask you for a password for mysql before starting [00:06] So I dont need GUI [00:06] like nxclient [00:06] KE1HA: I read a bug report where they were fixing these problems for Maverick. [00:06] Im not good with CLI [00:06] Raymond: Why would you? :) [00:07] Hi, i have a problem connecting to my wlan with ubuntu 10.04 live, from an usb. the router is a zyxel P-320W and i have tried all wlan settings on router that does not want an ip server for whatever. on ubuntu it just keeps telling me password is not correct. [00:07] Maletor: Look at this one, may be possible: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8262372 [00:07] CLI is maybe 20-30 times faster and uses less resources. Is more secure and makes forests smile [00:07] KE1HA: but I still just want to ditch the LVM. Also I have 2TB of media in a RAID5. I can't easily put that somewhere temporary while I re-set up the RAID. [00:07] There was a page that gave me exact instructions.... [00:07] Raymond: It's worth it to be comfortable with it if you plan on doing any server work [00:08] Dask yeah [00:08] I guess ill go for CLI [00:08] KE1HA: never heard of cpio... [00:08] Maletor: all descision / consideration to be made "before" building the server. I know this from personal experiences as well. [00:08] can some1 help me with the firefox language,, it coming up as German or something.. some English too tho [00:08] KE1HA: exactly... however things change [00:08] I need english [00:08] life is hardly static [00:09] Maletor: yep. you prbably best to do a complete migration to a new build. [00:09] grub2 can't find my windows vista install (whereas grub found it fine.) It does find the windows recovery partition though. Any ideas? [00:09] Figuring out how to backup will be tricky, maybe Dual-layer DVD's or a Cheap NAS [00:10] I think I let grub install in my MBR, could that be an issue? [00:10] KE1HA: ya because I can't even boot to live cd and mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda [00:10] os-prober cant find it either [00:10] Maletor: time for a re-write of the pan im affraid. [00:10] WPA & WPA2 personal > WPA-PSK on router - these 2 should work together yes? [00:10] KE1HA: and i sudo apt-get install mdadm just falls on its face trying to generate mdadm.conf [00:10] plan* [00:10] Hey, I'm having an issue with crontab not running my shell script, i cant figure out why, can someone help [00:10] KE1HA: where do I offload 2TB to? [00:10] NAS [00:11] ya i will ahve to wait a while for that [00:11] Cheap NAS Box, 4x 1TB drives abt 400 buck total. [00:11] Anyone who can help me with port forwarding, iptables. I got lan eth0 and wan eth1 and ptpp on ppp0. I wanna forward incoming requests from both eth1:4000 and ppp0:4000 to eth0 192.168.0.11:3389 [00:11] i have done so far - sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.11:3389 [00:11] that's what i have now. 4x 1tb [00:12] Maletor: or use any existing Box, and use it for a NAS, and just buy the drives. [00:12] raid1 boot 100mb, raid1 swap 10gb, raid5 root the rest [00:12] didn't bother to make /home [00:12] Opps [00:13] I've started doing that all all my builds, /home partition. [00:13] slavik0329: if you pastebin it, i'll take a look. Is this /etc/crontab, crontab -e, or ither? [00:13] KE1HA: do you think it's really important to have root and /home separate, if only for the faster speeds of raid1 versus 5? [00:13] Maletor: Yes [00:13] KE1HA: whT? [00:13] why? [00:14] RAID-1 or 5 on /boot / root RAID-5 /home /data [00:14] Oer: the problem persists after i swap out the RAM. is it more likely that i have 2 sets of bad RAM, or that there's some other problem? [00:14] #ubuntu i have a problem with graphic crashes when I set higher res. any advice? [00:14] you can't raid5 boot [00:14] thune3: its /etc/crontab its just 4 * * * * /bin/sh /home/steve/syncfail.sh &>> /home/steve/synclog [00:14] Maletor: Simple, recovery options. [00:14] you might as well just do raid1 root, raid5 home, raid1 swap [00:14] boot would be included in root [00:14] #ubuntu ofcourse it's ati vga [00:15] slavik0329: /etc/crontab needs user name to run script as, see the other entries that have "root". === keanu is now known as [keanu] [00:15] Maletor: lots of way to do it, but keeping the /data portions, /home etc etc off the System File / Boot partitons gives you allot of flexability === [keanu] is now known as keanu [00:15] yup [00:15] Subpoena, i think too, some bad ram, experiment wich one by using 2 at the time [00:16] any adive? [00:16] ok i'm going to go examine my LVM and figure out the best way to make of this situation [00:16] until i get access to a NAS [00:16] in a month or so [00:16] Maletor: Hardware RAID IMHO is the best solution, LVM is nice for non-enterprise setup, but if you want reliability and high availability HW-RAID all the way. [00:16] thune3: still not running [00:16] KE1HA: HW raid = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [00:17] Not SATA [00:17] SCSI = Yes :-) [00:17] KE1HA: i can't find one controller i like on newegg [00:17] slavik0329: i set it to run a minute ago and i even restarted cron service, still nothing === jack is now known as Guest94281 [00:17] Maletor: rr we're OT her so we can do PM or go to Off-Topic is ya want to continue. [00:17] thune3: ted cron service, still nothing [00:17] KE1HA: i use sata [00:17] Howdy! [00:18] hello [00:18] I believe that I am having problem with websockets [00:18] !hi | Kiba [00:18] Kiba: Hi!

[00:18] Is it safe to delete everything in ~/.dbus/session-bus ? [00:18] Wireless stopped working after the latest kernel update in 10.04 LTS x64 on my Dell Studio 17. I'm not sure what to do. [00:18] for some reason, google chrome refuse to connect to my local websocket server [00:19] slavik0329: it's only set to run at 4 after every hour. how did you check it? [00:19] thune3: i changed it to the next minute coming up [00:20] thune3: and restarted cron [00:20] slavik0329: any error message in mail or "tail -n 10 /var/log/syslog" === Subpoena is now known as Leighton [00:20] thune3: Aug 21 19:16:01 steve-laptop CRON[31268]: (root) CMD (^I/bin/sh /home/steve/syncfail.sh &>> /home/steve/synclog) [00:22] slavik0329: you shell file is a dash shell file? or you want /bin/bash? [00:22] o fix the flash player with ubuntu 10.4? [00:23] LorgonJortle, have you tested that it was the kernel update that did it? ie have you booted the old kernel and does it work? Hold down shift as computer is starting to get grub menu (if grub2). [00:23] has any one figured out how to fix flash on ubuntu 10.4 64 bit? [00:23] what are the differences between kubuntu and ubuntu other than gnome and kde? [00:23] when using ubuntu-bug to report suspend issues with the latest kernel.. ubuntu-bug linux-image is the actual command or should i include the entire package name of th kernl i'm using? [00:23] thune3: /bin/bash [00:23] thune3: i have it set in the script [00:23] ZykoticK9: I haven't. I'll do that now, thanks. [00:24] bastid_raZor, i'd just use linux-image (the bug report will include the version info) [00:24] slavik0329: and what is that ^I? if you run /bin/sh, it interprets the script as dash, and bypasses the 'magic thingy'. (i think, i may be wrong) [00:24] Oer: how long should a memtest take? [00:24] any good app to record screencasts? [00:25] malang [00:25] ZykoticK9: which is what i have done. i am reviewing the report and it states 'Package - linux-image *not installed* .. this is the reason i'm asking. [00:25] what is Xubuntu [00:25] Leighton, full test up to 24 hours, but when it has passed 2x i usually stop [00:25] thune3: that was just an extra space i took it out, still no luck. whats the magic thingy? [00:25] bastid_raZor, in that case i guess you need the actual version... [00:26] thune3: the weird thing is the script runs fine when i manually run it exactly as it is in cron [00:26] !xubuntu | Ludacris [00:26] Ludacris: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[00:27] sparky: yes [00:28] Leighton: depends on how much mem your testing [00:28] 2GB [00:28] Alzir, thanks so much for your help [00:28] can anyone recommend a good terabyte harddrive that's compatible with ubuntu? [00:28] (external harddrive) [00:28] daskreech: is there a easy way to switch or just have to save content and deleat 64bitt and instull 34 bitt [00:28] paul__64: np hope all is well [00:28] slavik0329: i'm saying that if you run /bin/sh script.sh, it does *not* use the #!/bin/bash in the script. You either need to make the script executable and run it directly, or run it with /bin/bash.

Either usb or bluetooth [00:30] Leighton: if you are having troubles enough to run a memory test just let it run for 5-8 hours [00:30] daskreech: so it would be pointless to save it all to a disk? === purvesh_ is now known as purvesh [00:30] sparky: just mack sure you install ia32-libs fer 32 bit apps on 64bit system [00:30] make* [00:30] meltingw1x, I haven't ever heard of a harddrive being incompatible with an operating system, as long as your motherboard supports it [00:30] slavik0329: also, the cron only uses the PATH in the /etc/crontab file, if you script requires something in the path you need to add it in the /etc/crontab file. [00:31] I installed the out of date nicotine from the repositories (which crashes) and I also downloaded the current version from the sourceforge, which run ok, but I installed it to a different location in my home directory. How do I replace the old version with the new one? [00:31] if you have no errors then you are pretty sure it's not the memory if you let it run 1 hour then you could have just missed something like heat causing the problems under heavy loa [00:31] d [00:31] sparky: not pointless. backups are always good [00:31] mbrigdan: i see. thanks! [00:31] Daskreech: Ke1ha:what do you mean? see my problem is that Flash wont work on 64 bit [00:32] sparky: won't work easily [00:32] sparky: ok, then install 32-bit flash / broswer [00:32] How do I replace the bad repository version of nicotine+ with the good current version from the nictone website? [00:32] KE1ha: can i just instull 34bit fire fox and i work? [00:32] and it work** [00:32] sparky: for most folks, and by that I mean the general population, using 64-bit is more bother than benifit. [00:33] sparky: yeah especiallly falsh [00:33] *flash [00:33] what is the ubuntu equivilant to sony vegas? [00:33] sparky: very few desktop general purpose applications have use of the extend abilities 64-bit provides. [00:33] Ok, so I made a mistake, and accidentally set all files in my home folder to be executable, which is annoying when I try and open them. Anyone know how I can set the all back to normal, but leave the directories with the execute permission? [00:34] lxLee: Kdenlive [00:34] KE1HA: 64bit more bother? [00:34] daskreech: thank you [00:34] mbrigdan: mask out the d flag in a script? [00:34] slavik0329: you can simulate the environment of cron (sort of), by running /bin/sh, paste the two lines SHELL and PATH from the /etc/crontab, and then paste your command. [00:34] unless you have more than 3gb of ram there is no point in upgrading to 64bit yet, maybe in 6-24 months it'll start shifting [00:34] ilyekkakai: why do you have to "replace" it? just uninstall the older version and use the newer one [00:35] AlZIR: for most, yes, but if extensive encoding, MELAB apps, high computational needs are there, then yes 64-bit.reqirments [00:35] Ke1ha: dumb it down a little i dont get what your saying lol do i not have to uninstull 64 bit and just instull 34bit fire fox? [00:35] thune3: kk trying [00:35] mbrigdan, find ./ -type f -exec chmod -x {} \; [00:35] sparky: if you dont know if you need 64-bit or not, 99% chance you dont need it. [00:36] KE1HA: not sure if I agree buy hey [00:36] test34, Thanks [00:36] KE1HA: not sure if I agree but* hey [00:36] ilovefairuz, I thot that way, if I replaced one with the other, I would not lose the menu item under the applications menu ;) [00:36] Ke1ha: oh ok i dont know my brother talked me through it to put it on my laptop he didnt know about the flash issue [00:36] AlZIR: we can go to Off-Topic, as I'd lke to know what I need a 64-Bit system for if all im doing is gernal desktop work. [00:36] ilyekkakai: install "alacarte" and create a new menu entry that points to the newer one [00:36] Anyone have any recommendations of things to watch for on updating from 8.04 to 10.4? I have the "Clean upgrade" notes. [00:37] thanks [00:37] kb9tui, do a fresh [00:37] KE1HA: not looking for a flame war thanks :) [00:37] kb9tui: sounds [00:38] hiexpo: thanks, why do you say that?

How do I get rid of them? [00:56] ATMSTopo28: Ok, I dont knwo why it's throwing this specific error, but I'd recommend you follow this guide for your installation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [00:56] jm2: what encryption does the router use? WEP or WPA [00:56] netsavy006, | ask [00:56] netsavy006, System / Preferences / Main Menu [00:56] hiexpo, he did [00:57] bazhang, yahmissed it sorry [00:57] !ask | bazhang [00:57] bazhang: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:57] it has something to do with the partitions, there was leftover data on my machine from when I upgraded from windows Vista [00:57] Yea I have applications listed in my applications menu yet they are no longer installed (I removed them). I'd like to know how to get rid of them from the Applications menu. [00:57] netsavy006: edit the menu? [00:57] thune3: thanks for everything, working great now!

Ok thank you Zykotick9. [00:58] jm2: you ran dhclient on the interface ? [00:58] ATMSTopo28, no problem [00:58] to the AP. I've been trying the wicd commands by hand, it won't connect there either. it stops at the AP [00:58] I've still not figured out the printer problem. [00:59] I know you guys suggested #windows but I can't seem to get over there cause I can't seem to get registered. === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [00:59] (figures with windows) [00:59] ! register | netsavy006 [00:59] netsavy006: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

Like if I move a window around, when I drop it, everything will sorta pause, and then continue running normally. This happens when opening a new tab in gnome-terminal, or say using the gnome-panel menus, etc I really degrades the experience. [01:00] hello? [01:00] !hi | benhur [01:00] benhur: 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! [01:00] anyone can read me? [01:00] it's using WEP - i know not prefered. but at this point. I want to know why it is giving me such a problem. [01:00] benhur, That's what we love to do. [01:00] benhur: yeah [01:00] I don't remember the name of the terminal app you gave me to go into the #windows thing. [01:00] okayjust wanted to askhow i can get out of a man page? :D [01:01] benhur, q [01:01] benhur, :) [01:01] benhur, Any more brain busters? [01:01] netsavy006: irssi ? [01:01] jm2: after you set the ssid and the wep key, do you run: sudo dhclient wlan0 ? [01:01] ilovefiruz - curious what else do you need ? wicd? [01:01] edbian: hehe [01:01] :D thanks [01:01] Thanks.l [01:01] Anyone good at Iptables and can assist me in getting my portforwarding working [01:01] benhur, I was extremely frustrated with something I was doing. Thank you for that :) [01:01] !tab | jm2 [01:01] jm2: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:01] ilovefairuz, evening [01:02] hello hiexpo [01:02] hiexpo, hello [01:02] ilovefariuz: yes i get DHCPDISCOVER wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 , etc [01:02] It tells me not connected to a server. How do I connect to one? [01:02] edbian, hello :) [01:02] jm2: did it finish or still trying? [01:02] My wireless connection is not working. I think that some drivers are missing. [01:02] caught me totally off guard as well thank you benhur [01:03] where should I find the file bootsect.lnx? [01:04] ndiswrapper related files are installed though. [01:04] ilovefariuz: it says NO DHCPOFFERS recieved. No working leases in persistant database - sleeping [01:04] Gulah: what are you trying to accomplish ? [01:04] ilovefairuz: which leads me to believe it can't get to AP [01:05] My wireless connection is not working. I think that some drivers are missing. [01:05] ndiswrapper related files are installed though. [01:05] hello! I want to know what's all the differences between desktop and netbook editions. Do they get different default applications? [01:05] ilovefairuz: since I can-t still boot my pc, I-m trying to fix it [01:05] BiggFREE, Did you see my personal message? [01:05] ilovefariuz: it used to work fine before we changed from no security to WEP [01:05] Yes I tried :( [01:06] NinoScript, That is the difference. The netbook edition has some software that runs instead of the typical desktop and panels. [01:06] NinoScript, the interface is the biggest change, some different applications as well. If you can, I'd recommend desktop over netbook. [01:06] BiggFREE, what kinda wireless [01:06] ZykoticK9, why? what's the thing you like better in desktop? [01:06] ilovefairuz: I tried to boot it through windows and so i ran this command:sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1, but I can-t find that file [01:07] jm2: correct, did you set the ssid correctly? sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo iwconfig essid "YOUR_ROUTER_SSID" mode Managed key s:PASSWORD_HERE [01:07] Gulah, Where was the terminal when you ran that command? That's where the file would have been dropped. [01:07] i cannot get ethernet to work [01:07] NinoScript, recently Netbook version has become VERY locked down, unable to make changes... not the direction i wish it went... it's just my opinion though - you might like it just fine. Good luck. [01:07] I am using a TRENDNET WIRELESS ROUTER 802.1x WPA/PSK [01:07] Gulah: its in your root [01:07] edbian, but, aside interface, are there any changes? like pidgin instead of empathy or something like that? where can I read about that? [01:07] atheros AR8132 [01:08] Gulah: type: pwd [01:08] NinoScript, I don't know of any differences like that. I don't know where you'd find that either. [01:08] ZykoticK9, What do you mean with locked down? [01:08] anyone know where i can grab the driver? [01:08] NinoScript, you can't make changes to the interface that used to be possible (i think working with GoogleOS influenced these decisions) [01:09] how can I acces my root [01:09] jm2: and then: sudo dhclient wlan0 [01:09] !noroot | Gulah [01:09] Gulah: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [01:09] Gulah: it's in the directory shown by: pwd .. as in, the current directory [01:09] ilovefariuz: you need the : after key? [01:09] I ran that command through my live cd [01:10] ZykoticK9: he was referring to the root directory not the root user [01:10] I had a power outage while using my ubuntu 10.04 PC. Now, Once it shows the "Automatic Login" windows, it freezes and Capsthe & Scroll Lock lights start blinking. Windows 7 boos w/o problems, but in recovery mode->root, it requests my "root password for maintenance", I type my sudo pwd but it keeps telling me its incorrect. I can eventually login, after trying the pwd many, many times.... [01:10] ...Please help. TIA! [01:10] I can't decrypt a GPG email. I have tryied all email clients and methods suggested by the launchpad help, but I just can't work it out. Every method failed me... [01:10] ilovefairuz, sorry Gulah my bad [01:10] Gulah: its in your ubuntu home dir then [01:10] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ pwd [01:10] /home/ubuntu [01:10] Gulah: sudo su - [01:10] the thing is I canºt see it [01:10] jm2: not just ':' but 's:' .. for example: 's:supersecret' [01:10] nimbiotics, Some of your ram is probably bad. A portion that your windows hasn't touched yet. I suggest testing all the ram. [01:10] BiggFREE, please dont suggest that here. its sudo [01:11] Sorry :( [01:11] Gulah: use ls *.lnx [01:11] ls: cannot access *.lnx: No such file or directory [01:11] how do you install cinelerra on ubuntu 10.04? [01:12] Gulah: pastebin the first command and it's output [01:12] !cinelerra [01:12] Cinelerra is a video editor and compositor that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons. Install instructions can be found on http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [01:12] !paste > Gulah [01:12] Gulah, please see my private message [01:12] is talking about backtrack blasphemy here? [01:12] !backtrack | aaddcc [01:12] aaddcc: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [01:12] lxLee, sudo apt-get install cinelerra [01:12] aaddcc: possibly ;) [01:12] edbian: How do I test RAM? [01:12] how come dd doesnt work for making an audio cd image? :(((( [01:13] gulah: go to terminal and type in "sudo -s" [01:13] when does 11 come out? [01:13] nimbiotics, you can dest RAM from LiveCD if you want [01:13] plz put php-gtk package in repo [01:13] nimbiotics, At the boot grub menu there is an option. It is an exhaustive test and takes a long time. Lower tech you can just take 1 stick out and see if the problem persists. Then try with the other stick. [01:13] ok now i'm in root [01:13] kool [01:14] edbian: thanks a lot! [01:14] Gulah: being root makes no difference, pastebin the output of the first command [01:14] nimbiotics, Good luck! :) [01:14] edbian, < good guy [01:14] ilovefairuz: what command? [01:14] Gulah: dd === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [01:14] hiexpo, Awww shucks [01:14] edbian: Any suggestions ? [01:14] !releases | T3hFly [01:14] T3hFly: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [01:15] aha [01:15] hiexpo: whats kool? [01:15] lol [01:15] hiexpo, Yes what was kool ?? [01:15] i've been trying to update my OS to ubuntu from kde3, but when i do I am unable to start my wireless or load any network manager, can anyone help? [01:15] fyi second link is down [01:15] i get dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error [01:15] aaddcc, kde3 and ubuntu are not mutually exclusive. What do you mean? [01:15] user01: is there a cd in there? [01:16] ilovefairuz, :P [01:16] had to ask... [01:16] ilovefairuz: yes [01:16] ilovefairuz, It was my first thought as well. [01:16] ilovefairuz: http://pastie.org/1106854 [01:16] oh said in root [01:16] bbl [01:17] April!? i cant wait that long -cries- [01:17] ilovefairuz: does dd work for you to create a cd image? [01:17] ebian, i am booted into kde3, so i added ubuntu repos and was able to boot into ubuntu6, everything worked, but when i upgraded to ubuntu 9 those files were deleted. [01:17] u said u were in root i said kool [01:17] audio cd [01:17] user01: a) could be scratched/damaged b) the data cable could be faulty c) the drive could be dusty d) the drive might need replacement [01:17] T3hFly, There is one coming out in October. [01:17] ah meerkat [01:17] user01: yes it does work [01:18] still too far away -cries and throws tantrum- [01:18] lol [01:18] ilovefairuz: none of those because it works creating an iso with gnome tools [01:18] aaddcc, Why don't you upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 ?? How did you upgrade from 6 to 9? [01:18] T3hFly, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:18] ilovefairuz: so what do you think? [01:18] this guy has the same problem: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/creating-an-iso-from-an-audio-cd-with-dd-670913/ [01:18] user01: no idea then, wodim may be finding its way around the error [01:19] dd is not really meant for that [01:19] user01, you technically cannot make an ISO out of an audio cd - you can create a disk image, just not an ISO [01:19] Gulah: ls *.lnx [01:19] ZykoticK9, What is the difference? [01:19] ZykoticK9: well it wasnt making anything [01:19] AlZIR: but it actually works pretty well [01:19] nimbiotics: the memtest is progressive and each test checks all of memory (you don't have to let it run to completion to get good confidence levels). I would say 1 minute of testing gives 90% confidence, 2 minutes 99% and on. [01:19] now it finds it [01:19] yup [01:19] edbian, ISO is a file system - audio cd don't use a "file system" [01:20] ZykoticK9, That you. [01:20] ilovefairuz: it finds it now [01:20] Gulah: so there you go [01:20] ilovefairuz: as long as there no protections the sure it should work [01:20] ZykoticK9, What extension is a file that is an image of a CD (bit for bit image?) [01:20] ilovefairuz: as long as theres no protections then sure it should work [01:21] edbian, bin/cue for one [01:21] ilovefairuz: ok i'll see if the pc boots [01:21] the default gnome menus like the taskbar are all dark. almost black., but recently all my windows went white. its not aesthetic anymore [01:21] ilovefairuz: but it was never meant for that! [01:21] ilovefairuz, i tried again and still no luck. any other suggestions? I get a Listening on LPF/wlan0/MAc sending onLPF/wlan0/MAC sending on Socket/fallback [01:21] Gulah: i don't think that command will just magically make the boot work, you'll have to give more details about your problem [01:22] how do I check the date a package was installed? [01:22] kish: meta(win-key)-m maybe? [01:22] I'm getting segmentation fault (according to apache logs) when trying to open any PHP file in the browser... [01:22] ZykoticK9: now i noticed "audio cd", wasn't in the original question though! [01:22] ilovefairuz: my grub2 always had my problems, from time to time I had to reinstall grub2 to boot the computer [01:22] thune3, dunno [01:23] ilovefairuz, really oops - sorry then I thought it was audio cd [01:23] Gulah: running wubi ? [01:23] i dont remember what its supposed to loook like [01:23] kish: i was suggesting you try it, are all colors "inverted"? [01:23] thune3, no, just the windows are white [01:23] ilovefairuz, actually the link user01 gave was for an audio CD and they said it was the same... [01:23] im working on it [01:24] at is the name of the default 10.04 theme [01:24] Hi again. [01:24] is it amibance or clearlooks [01:24] ZykoticK9: i didn't mean it wasn't an audio only, but i only noticed when you mentioned it [01:24] kish, ambiance and radiance are the Light theme of Lucid [01:25] ilovefairuz: so I uninstalled grub2 and tryed to follow this site: http://en.andrenoel.com.br/2009/07/22/starting-linux-through-windows-xp-boot-list-boot-ini/ it didn't worked so i tried to install grub back, and now my pc won't boot [01:25] what are the dark themes [01:25] I was able to get the test page printed by having my brother enable spooling and I didn't need to authenticate. Now when I try to print off of Google Chrome Browser, I get the same authentication message I was getting before. [01:25] ilovefairuz: nop running a live cd [01:25] i went to check on that "get more themes online" button but all they had were windows clones like vista win2k me [01:25] thune3: Thanks, will start test un a couple of minutes [01:25] no way do i want to go back to that ugliness [01:26] ambiance must be the dark theme [01:26] Jordan_U: Doesn't seem to be working :( [01:26] I apologize for all of this but I'm very new as I said before to Linux. Just started using it today. [01:27] Gulah: i meant: is your ubuntu installation using wubi or on a normal partition ? [01:27] hey deadBit looks like (from you sample)there trying to use Xor shifting [01:27] or is it new wave? no idea [01:27] ilovefairuz: normal partition [01:28] netsavy006, What was your question again? I can't find it in the scroll back. [01:28] Gulah: you shouldn't be having problems with grub2 them.. anyhow you could revert to grub legacy [01:28] nimbiotics: if there are errors, they are listed in the blank window area in the center (took me a while to figure out what a good indication was, years back) === wlan0 is now known as McUbuntu [01:28] i am installing to my laptop hp with my desktopiso the problem says I/O error I/O error reading boot CD === McUbuntu is now known as McLinux [01:28] I was able to do a test print by getting my brother to enable spooling on his printer settings. Now when I try to print from the browser, I have to authenticate again. I don't know what to do? [01:28] jinxzs, The CD is scratches and dust and such. [01:28] Gulah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reverting%20to%20GRUB%20Legacy [01:29] netsavy006, Sorry I don't know. That's a difficult problem. [01:29] jinxzs: try burning it anew [01:29] ok il be back later. thanks [01:29] ilovefairuz: I'll try to boot my pc again and then I'll try to use grub legacy [01:29] and it's not like I can go back to windows and do printing because I'm totally on linux as of today. [01:29] I switched myself over today. [01:30] netsavy006, Awesome. Linux is great. [01:30] From what I've been able to do with linux, I'm pretty happy with it.

This happens when opening a new tab in gnome-terminal, or say using the gnome-panel menus, etc I really degrades the experience. [01:34] Yes, I had to set up the printer myself. [01:34] well whatever the case i need someone to tell me how to burn a .dmg file [01:34] Anyone here have any experience with OpenNMS? Nobody in #opennms is responding... [01:34] It's a HP All In One F4235 Printer. [01:34] netsavy006, But you didn't print the test page and you don't know how to print it?

[01:38] Firefox won't even let me install and use flash and I don't know why but that's a different subject for another day. [01:38] netsavy006, I have an idea for a work around though. [01:38] netsavy006, That I can actually help with! :) [01:38] netsavy006, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [01:38] ok. [01:38] netsavy006, Then restart firefox. [01:38] netsavy006, But yeah, try running firefox as root and printing. In a term: "gksudo firefox" [01:38] thune3: memtest has been running for 5 minutes. No errors are listed. Edibian: Do you think there might be some other reason for my problem?. TIA!

[01:39] edbian: surely you dont need a flash plugin to print a pdf file? [01:39] netsavy006, Be aware that running things as root should only be done when you have to. [01:39] AlZIR, un related issues. :) [01:39] could I try printing as root? === Guest57046 is now known as OrionPseudo [01:39] lukiinhas, backtrack is not supported here [01:39] just as a test? [01:40] netsavy006, yes. [01:40] edbian: ah ok I miss understood [01:40] netsavy006, Didn't i just suggest that? [01:40] lukiinhas, /join #backtrack-linux [01:40] bazhang: go ahead [01:40] (4th try, not even an ofer of help): Anyone here have any experience with OpenNMS? I'm having trouble getting it to start. Log: http://pastebin.com/N7pJKij5 [01:41] Yep. In order to print I need to autenticate as root. [01:41] ok voi come out later I go I will find some more bye [01:41] netsavy006, You need to change some setting in cups. At least you have a work-around! :D [01:41] ok I'll leave later I go I will find some more bye [01:41] what's the difference between Netbook Edition and Netbook Edition 2D? [01:41] Im trying to debug using tcpdump, i can see incoming request package at port 4000, but dont look like the package are send to local pc 192.168.0.11:3389 which i should have set up my iptables === natalie is now known as Guest32461 === Guest32461 is now known as Dram-enada [01:42] (5th try, not even an ofer of help): Anyone here have any experience with OpenNMS?

[01:42] netsavy006, :) [01:43] but how can I set it so that it will always authenticate when I press print for anything so I don't have to manually type the information all the time. [01:43] I really don't mind going higher level to printe. [01:43] print* [01:43] (6th try, not even an ofer of help): Anyone here have any experience with OpenNMS? I'm having trouble getting it to start. Log: http://pastebin.com/N7pJKij5 [01:43] netsavy006, It's a security flaw technically. I don't know what info you're talking about? [01:44] netsavy006, in a new firefox window type: 127.0.0.1:631 [01:44] netsavy006, That's the cups server web-interface to configure things. The setting is probably in there somewhere! :) [01:46] dazhang are you there [01:46] edbian: why does he have to authenticate to print a file thats deff odd [01:46] AlZIR_, I'm assuming it's some cups setting [01:46] netsavy006, did you get to the cups web thingy? [01:47] yes, but I don't know where I need to go from the main page. [01:47] nimbiotics: just to check, all the ram is listed by memtest? hmmmm...i have had rashes of badblocks on older hdd after power-outage. Is your hard drive click-click-clicking during those weird log in attempts? === AlZIR_ is now known as AlZIR [01:47] What other programs are there besides gimp for painting?

[01:48] netsavy006, IDK man. [01:49] This is what I'm using to view and configure my printer system-config-printer 1.2.0 [01:49] edbian: ok sure depends on his particualr setup [01:49] edbian: I'm using xubuntu so the system menus are a bit different, but in my "user" dialog there's a list of actions that I'm permitted, and one of them is to use the printers. [01:49] netsavy006, That gui just plays with the same file the web interface plays with. The web interface is waaay more complete. [01:50] netsavy006, Check System -> Admin -> Users and groups. What groups are you in? What are you allowed to do. there is a similar list. [01:50] netsavy006, Remember that adding yourself to a group doesn't happen until you log out / back in. [01:50] netsavy006, I really don't know what we're doing though or if this will solve the problem. :) [01:50] Perhaps I shouldn't be facilitating this meeting anymore?

[01:51] em not able to open terminal.please help [01:52] AlZIR, He might. It all has to do with how cups was set up. It could be quite elaborate really. [01:52] what do you mean "you can't open it"? [01:52] Intnz, Really? [01:52] Intnz, Be more explicit. What happens if you try? How do you typically open one? [01:52] What groups should I be in (in general). [01:53] mtk358:it quits as i open [01:53] how do you open it? [01:53] thune3: no, I dont hear any unexpected noises [01:53] netsavy006: audio and video are good ones to be in [01:53] edbian: ok sure dont want to tread on your toes but I dont have cups asking me for any creditentails [01:53] mtk358:i mean its not running [01:53] !who | MTK358 [01:53] MTK358: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I did set it up once. Pretty un-eventful really. [01:54] netsavvy006: In my user dialog, I checked ALL of the boxes for my account, just to be on the safe side. [01:54] Intz: I'm asking what you do to try to open a terminal [01:54] AlZIR, Thanks for the courtesy though! :D === nickoa is now known as oblat [01:54] Intnz, What? [01:54] mtk358:gnome-terminal [01:54] what can we do? [01:54] Intnz, What happens if you hit ctrl + alt + F1 ?? [01:54] administratorzgx, /join #ubuntu-cn [01:54] jm2: sudo iwconfig key s:passwordhere [01:54] Intnz: you mean by running the command "gnome-terminal"? [01:55] mtk358:alt+f2 then gnome-terminal [01:55] edbian: np respect [01:55] mtk358:ya [01:55] Maybe try opening it using the Applications menu? [01:55] See if that works? [01:56] AlZIR, :) [01:56] mtk358:no its not [01:56] I'm going to reboot my computer just to see what happens. If I have further problems, I'll be back if, not have a good day/afternoon/evening/night. [01:56] hi all. Where is the configuration file that stores the location of your background image ? [01:56] Intnz: maybe try running the command "xterm" using alt-f2 [01:57] mtk358:same thing ..no change [01:57] edbian :by alt+ctrl+f1 the gui goes [01:57] thune3: this pc uses ubuntu 10.04. I cant find a 10.04 live cd but I do have 9.10. Can I use GParted to check and repair file system on my linux partition? [01:58] Intnz, And you get dropped to a terminal right? [01:58] Intnz: xterm is a simpler terminal program that's not to do with GNOME. so you tried it and it doesn't work too? [01:58] edbian :yes but i was talking bout the xterm [01:58] i'm confused [01:58] Intnz, Just wanted to be sure it was the terminal emulator and not the actual terminal. [01:59] edbian :ya its the emulator [01:59] MTK358, You meant xterm the program. He meant xterm a graphical terminal emulator [01:59] Intnz, Does xterm work? [01:59] Intnz, Or the KDE one? [01:59] jm2: what's the result of this command? [01:59] edbian :no [01:59] Intnz, None of them work? [01:59] mtk358:it doesnt work too [01:59] edbian :none of them [02:00] Where are the images of apps in tray located ? [02:00] hi all. Anyone know where the gdm configuration file that stores the location of your background image ? [02:00] Bipolar why is your name that do you suffer from it [02:00] Intnz: so you cant open a terminal? [02:00] Ininz: so you can open other programs but no terminals, including gnome-terminal, xterm, konsole, etc. ? [02:00] alzir:xterm ya [02:00] mtk358:ya [02:00] Intnz, Hmmm. Maybe you can somehow switch to tty1 and run "gnome-terminal" and specify the screen it should attach to... Then you can see if there are error message. [02:01] nimbiotics: maybe check partition table consistency, i don't know what else. I wouldn't use 9.10 gparted for much since it has some serious problems. have you done fsck yet? [02:01] I'm having some trouble working out what the "installed / not installed?" state is of mysql on this little 8.04 box. I'm trying to install cacti from scratch.

Remove wine (and anything else that says *wine* in the package name), disable whatever repository it came from (`apt-cache policy wine` before you remove it will help you figure out where it came from) and then apt-get update, and install wine. [03:43] yes [03:43] ZykoticK9, already did it, the problem is that i am configuring ipcop over vbox and i know i need to create a bridge [03:43] timpster, so you want 3D on top of the already composited cube? [03:43] but the problem is that the interface have to be promisc [03:43] yeah 3d windows 4 the cube [03:43] and that is insecure because the wan interface is going to listen all packets in the net [03:43] timpster, perhaps you are not clearly explaining this [03:43] okay [03:44] listen [03:44] read [03:44] i want the windows to pop out when i rotate the cube with the mouse [03:44] like [03:44] timpster, #compiz [03:44] they look like there away from the cube [03:44] ok sorry [03:44] how do i change [03:44] timpster, ccsm - put a check in "3d Windows" perhaps? [03:44] Flannel: My bad, I hadn't the brain the check my Wine version. Apparently I have version 1.1.42, through using the wine --version command. [03:44] /join #compiz [03:45] ok ill try hold on [03:45] thx [03:45] np [03:45] hold on [03:45] timpster: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Cube Search for "z-axis" and you'll find the section ("3D Windows") that covers it [03:45] Flannel: If I only want to update to version 1.3, what should I type? [03:45] is there any advantage to updating to .34 kernel when running 10.04? [03:45] i dont have 3d cube [03:45] androidbruce, that kernel is from where? [03:45] sorrry i mean i dont have 3d windows [03:46] timpster, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/ [03:46] copy that [03:46] timpster, are you using ccsm or simple-ccsm? [03:46] um.. hold on [03:46] androidbruce, PPA are unsupported you realize [03:46] ryan__: you need the ppa for wine1.3 [03:46] ccsm [03:46] Question -- Is there a factorid or #channel for theme customization? (Ie -- How to make your own themes). [03:46] bazhang, well yes i suppose i do realize that [03:46] ryan__: Oh, that's a development version. http://www.winehq.org/download/deb Will tell you how to install it from a PPA (and there is wine1.3 in that PPA, apparently) [03:46] CCSM [03:47] http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [03:47] KEIHA, Flannel: I have added the PPA to my list.

[03:48] F-Spot doesn't seem to let me export multiple pics to Flickr. I used to be able to do so. Did the UI change, or is it not possible anymore? [03:48] ryan__: after addint the ppa, apt:wine1.3 [03:48] Ok, i give up, how do I enable development packages with ubuntu? [03:48] pr click the link on that linky :-) [03:48] I think Im on the way to successfully installing tor [03:48] Onca, proposed or backports? could you clarify please?

However, when I wine --version, it says I have 1.1.42 [03:50] how do I send a fax with ubuntu? [03:50] :D [03:50] KE1HA, what were you saying?

The only problem is that a shutdown left the ext2 formatted flashdrive in an "unclean" state? Does anyone know how to get a clean unmount at shutdown? [03:53] ? [03:53] !help shadow [03:54] !shadown [03:54] !shadow [03:54] thune3: odd.. ive never noticed that issue with using grub2 to boot ISO files.

[03:55] thune3: its not on this box.. but I do have links to the guides/examples at http://delicious.com/dr_willis/ under the grub2 tags I think [03:55] Dr_Willis: i'll take a look, thx [03:56] how do you get 3D winodows in CCSM i dont have that option [03:56] ryan__: make sure you remove the files, or 1.2 will be back again :-) [03:56] mattwj2002: try efax-gtk your modem must be supported [03:56] thune3: now if only all the disrto makers would follow the same standard to get grub2 booting them all. :) [03:56] thannks sacarlson [03:56] KE1HA: No no, it's 1.2 that I wanted initially. [03:56] it is a us robotics so hopefully :) [03:56] ryan__: roger that. [03:57] * scriptwarlock waves to all [03:57] does anyone know how to get 3d windows in compiz i dont have that option [03:58] timpster, you could see if it's part of compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [03:58] ok is that in synaptic [03:58] timpster, yes [03:58] thx [03:58] hello all, I'm trying to install slackware on a dual boot and I don't have a spare dvd. I was wondering if its possible to install from iso file. The only other OS on the computer is 'buntu of course. [03:58] ZykoticKS that was fast [03:59] !tab > timpster [03:59] timpster, please see my private message [03:59] thanks for having the time to spare and help me guys [03:59] Lanteran: try system>administration>startup-disk-creator [03:59] Can someone help me to boot the second HD it has 10.04 on it and it just wont boot. Right now it says press any key to start and goes back to the menu! [04:00] another question for some reason my synaptic looks like shit i have ccsm enable [04:00] Lanteran, with grub2? boot or install [04:00] timpster, language please [04:00] one second [04:00] Lanteran: if I recal, Slax uses Lilo, or atleasd it did, but I dont see why you can't use Grub2 as the bootloader, best to check wiht the slaware folks though. [04:00] sorry [04:01] grub2 can certainly boot an iso off the hdd [04:01] Lanteran's issue is that he has the iso, but can't burn it cuz he's out of media. [04:01] bazhang, can you help me effects on or off doesnt help it still looks like poop [04:01] exactly greezmunkey [04:01] Lanteran, you have a usb flash key? [04:02] Lanteran: bazhang has it. [04:02] yes but it's not large enough, slackware iso is 4.1 GBs [04:02] haha thats funny [04:02] unetbootin can do that with relative ease [04:02] no no no If you set that bit it breaks see bland_ones docs [04:02] removable media is basically out [04:02] AlZIR, who are you addressing? [04:02] bazhang, y u stealin ppls flash drives man [04:02] Dr_Willis: too bad the relevant link Booting ISO files from GRUB 2 [Robert's Journal] http://rww.dreamwidth.org/3100.html is behind a sign in/up wall. [04:02] Why do you need the DVD v.s. the standard ISO ? [04:03] thats not cool [04:03] dependency hunting's a bit of a pain so I like to get it all at once :) [04:03] timpster, please remain on topic [04:03] hi all. wanted to now the command for apt-get or aptitude or dpkg to give me a list of installed applications and packages. [04:03] <_F-117> I'm done with Ubuntu , 2 many back doors [04:03] !clone | ezy [04:03] ezy: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [04:03] Lanteran: ++ know that problem well :-) [04:03] ezy: dpkg -l [04:03] whoaaaa [04:03] I'm on epic4 [04:03] or rather as much as I can get at once, the dvd is generous on installed software [04:03] someone say my name i want to see if it highlights [04:04] colskolir: no ;P === lee_ is now known as _Lee28_ [04:04] Lanteran: 8GB USB Key if ya got one handy, else it's ISO [04:04] thune3: actually, it's friends-only right now. signing up/in is statistically unlikely to help much :) [04:05] rww...thanks...Also, I want to be able to manage my packages and applications using those tools. Which one do you recommend is the best ? Will they all be packaged into one application in the future ? [04:05] I do have one handy, but I'm using that for non-software backups. Other than that, all of my fdrives are too small. [04:05] Lanteran: well, that be the choices I think. [04:06] well I've googled it and the only tutorials I can find assume windows is the OS you're installing from [04:06] ezy: I like Synaptic on GUI and aptitude for command-line. Others would probably disagree with one or both of these choices :) [04:06] Lanteran: http://happylinuxthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/11/making-ubuntu-and-slackware-play.html [04:07] Lanteran: one other that may be of some use, dont know: http://ubuntuforums.org/tags.php?tag=slackware+dual+boot+grub [04:07] say my name someone please [04:07] rww, the ubuntu software center (GUI). It uses dpkg, apt-get, aptitude all of them right ? [04:07] Lanteran: check into this: http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/Boot-an-ISO-via-Grub2.html [04:07] yeah the first one was irrelevant, I just install without bootloader then update-grub from 'buntu [04:07] thanks for the links [04:07] rww: good info, thx [04:08] Lanteran: that's how I'd do it. [04:08] colskolir, rww already did ;) [04:09] greezmunkey: thanks, cursory glance suggests this is exactly what I'm looking for [04:10] Lanteran: Thank bazhang, it was his idea :) [04:10] greezmunkey, nice find! [04:10] yo yo yo its FLAVA FLAV [04:10] Indeed I didnt know you could do that with Grub2 [04:10] haha jus kidding [04:10] !ot | timpster [04:10] timpster: #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! [04:11] alright, thanks bazhang [04:11] ezy: dpkg is the basic, user-unfriendly tool in Debian and Ubuntu for installing and removing package management. APT is both a set of libraries for interfacing with dpkg and some interfaces (like apt-get) that do that. aptitude, synaptic, and Ubuntu Software Center are also interfaces to APT libraries to various degrees. [04:11] cl1pp1ng5! [04:11] s/package management/packages/ [04:13] bazhang: not addresing users in this place (god forbid ) we are totally sorry! [04:13] ezy: basically, different people prefer different tools, so there's never going to be a merge of them all together. There will be (are), however, programs that attempt to do all of the stuff that existing programs do. Software Center is one recent example. [04:14] bazhang: as that how too stats, that's a good recovery method. [04:14] rww, thanks for the explanation. I really appreciate it. clears up a lot.

[04:40] xangua: yes, I believe so. Before the update last night it was working. Admittedly with -some- minor issues but yeah it worked before the update [04:41] yes i am [04:41] ZykoticK9: KE1HA thanks [04:41] somethinginteres: press shit at boot screen, boot the older kernel and file a bug report [04:41] UbuntuNoob: when you pop in a ubuntu cd/flash on a wndows box.. windows autoruns that silly WUBI installer.. thats proberly what you are seeing [04:41] nobarking: Have a look at this: http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/storage/8257-how-to-recover-lost-files-after-you-accidentally-wipe-your-hard-drive [04:41] ilovefairuz: sorry, is that 'shift'? [04:41] ilovefairuz: I am unable to post my imagebin :( But I think that my problem is solved because I did read the result of your lshw command. Thanks. [04:41] KE1HA: thanks [04:42] Dr_Willis: ok got it. For some reason the laptop that crashed cant seem to boot from it though [04:42] somethinginteres: the SHIFT key [04:42] ilovefairuz: All I have now is to restart. [04:42] UbuntuNoob: ive see many pc's that are picky about what flash drives they can and can not boot from [04:42] UbuntuNoob: i got 1 pc that only wants to boot from One of the many flash drives i have.. [04:43] Dr_Willis: hmmm i would try it from a CD but i dont have any available that would hold all of the 700 megs [04:43] somethinginteres: for some reason, i tend to miss that h, sorry ... [04:43] nobarking: also, this one: http://www.data-recovery-linux.com/ [04:43] ilovefairuz: just to confirm should I press it only once or repeatedly or hold it down? Also will that load the old kernel for good or just for that boot session? Thanks [04:43] UbuntuNoob: most cds do hold 700mb these days. [04:43] somethinginteres: hold it down [04:44] Dr_Willis: ill take a look around and see if i can find one then [04:44] UbuntuNoob: the sizes of files are often 'confuseing' due to the use of MB vs MiB these days [04:44] somethinginteres: it will display a list of installed kernels, select the older one [04:44] UbuntuNoob: ive not seen an older 640mb cd - in ages. [04:44] ilovefairuz: righto, will give it a shot. Cheers [04:44] Dr_Willis: do you think my "picky pc" will boot from a CD with ubuntu if it will not from the usb? [04:45] UbuntuNoob: ive rarely had issues with pcs booting from cd/./ many issues in the past with usb. [04:45] UbuntuNoob, it should boot from CD [04:45] Dr_Willis: right on ill give it a try [04:46] UbuntuNoob: one rare possiblity is the flashdrive has cdfs partition like sandisk U3, which could cause boot problems. (If you fdisk -l the flash drive and the partition table looks normal, you are ok) [04:46] UbuntuNoob: yea. that U3 stuff is a real pain. I always remove it.. :) luckl;y the U3 stuff dosent seem as common these days as it used to be. [04:46] hmm [04:46] Perhaps everyone else has realized what a pain U3 is [04:47] i didnt see one when i was working with this usb earlier [04:47] sansa fuze is where it's at [04:47] scriptwarlock, yo um you talkin to any1 right now [04:47] i am going to write ubuntu to a cd though and try to boot off of that [04:47] i think the virus i got was something that infected the system32 folder and corrupted the boot data [04:48] let it time out [04:48] UbuntuNoob: You rarely see vieuses these days that affect the boot stuff.. (well not like in the old says of MBR viruses) [04:48] d [04:48] UbuntuNoob: if the HD is empty - the virus is gone. :) [04:49] :-) Indeed [04:49] UbuntuNoob: you could zero the hd if you want to be very very sure [04:49] hi guys, does win8 have any kind of protected filesystem that prevents a side by side ubuntu install? [04:49] win7 oops [04:49] Dr_Willis: hmm I wonder if it was installing something in the background then because i had to hard shut down when the pop ups overwhelmed me and when i restarted it wouldnt let me open any applications saying they were corrupted so i turned it off again and then would not restart past the post screen [04:49] Dr_Willis, whats zero the hd mean [04:49] Fudge: Not that ive noticed. [04:49] Fudge: None that im aware of. [04:50] timpster1: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/PICKAHDPARITITON bs=1024 then go take a coffee break.

Any suggestions? [04:59] scriptwarlock, thx [04:59] bazhang, do you know about ubuntu themes [04:59] timpster: no problem [04:59] !themes | timpster [04:59] timpster: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [04:59] Dr_Willis: still the black screen like it tried to boot from the hdd [05:00] jbuncher: wow, big step, may be better to Backup data and do a fresh-install. [05:00] bazhang, who is ubuntu [05:00] !ubuntu | timpster [05:00] timpster: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [05:00] timpster, lets go to #ubuntu-offtopic for this please [05:00] KE1HA, data is already backed up, might as well try the upgrade [05:00] ok hold on [05:00] UbuntuNoob: sounds like deeper issues to me.. You could try the alternative cd. thats a text only installer.. or try to fiugure out some boot time options to disable the plymouth and other features to see some text/error messages. [05:00] how do i do tht [05:01] join what [05:01] jbuncher: Sure, its doable, but I'd go one level up first, then the next. [05:01] timpster, /join #ubuntu-offtopic [05:01] UbuntuNoob: id try some other linux lve cds also.. (i got a box of them) :) see if it affects all of them. Wha tis your video card anyway? [05:01] timpster: if asking some info just type !andyourinfoto ask [05:01] KE1HA, well, how do I even get the option to go to Lucid? Don't really want to do 3 download and upgrades [05:02] Dr_Willis: where would i get the text only version, and im not exactly sure what the video card is. it was my dads laptop up until about a week or so ago [05:02] jbuncher: You can upgrade straight from 8.04 to 10.04, that's supported and all good. [05:02] jbuncher: well the liveCD should prompt you, asking if you would like to upgrade. [05:02] UbuntuNoob: ubuntu download pages have the alterntove- cd's [05:02] Ubuntu Noob, did you set your bios for a CD boot, I don't mean to butt in and excuse me for asking if it's not cool [05:02] Dr_Willis: the difference with this black screen is that the computer wont turn off when i just press the power button, so im not too sure [05:03] jbuncher: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades [05:03] Flannel, how do I accomplish that via network upgrade? steps at http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade make it try to pull down intrepid [05:03] KE1HA, jbuncher: A liveCD is *not* a method of upgrading. [05:03] jbuncher: Let me take a look at that page [05:03] UbuntuNoob: You may also want to test out some non-ubuntu disrtos like tinycorelinux (10mb) and Puppylinux (120mb) to see if they work. if NONE of them work.. well lets hope one works.. [05:03] Dr_Willis: haha im with that [05:04] UbuntuNoob: i have also seen some weird laptops that defaulted to the external monitor on Linux. using the laptops fn-?? key to toggle the monitors helped on that weird problem. [05:04] Flannel: Ok, which one is? one of them did mine, I thought it was LiveCD === arjun___ is now known as arjun [05:04] jbuncher: info on 804 to 10.04: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:05] I have 2 servers running samba. they can connect to eachother via ip, but they dont know eachother by their hostname - any ideas what i'm doing wrong? [05:05] Dr_Willis: the toggle didnt do much, it worked pretty reliably for several years up until last night and that virus tore it apart [05:05] KE1HA, in my original post, I said that the steps there just make it want to go to intrepid, not lucid [05:05] KE1HA, jbuncher: That ubuntu.com page seems strange to me. But the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades are what the norm is [05:05] I am quite new on Linux and so far I am really impressed with Ubuntu.... I have Puppy and simplymepis running on 2 other machines one a 32 bit tower (simply mepis) and an old notebook with puppy [05:06] ZykoticK9, do you know how i might be able to make my own themes for gnome [05:06] KE1HA: Th alternate CD can be used to upgrade, the desktop CD is just an installer. [05:06] Flannel, I can click "Check" until I'm blue in the face, but it only ever wants to let me upgrade to Intrepid, not Lucid. [05:06] hi [05:06] jbuncher: Are you completely up to date currently? [05:06] jbuncher: the page says, If you have a version of Ubuntu other than Ubuntu 8.04 LTS or Ubuntu 9.10, please see the upgrade notes for more information on how to upgrade. hence: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:07] KE1HA: We're past that :) [05:07] Flannel: fare enough, i knew it was one of them. [05:07] KE1HA, I have the latest and greatest 8.04. [05:07] Flannel, Yes. Aside from a skype package from skypes repo. [05:07] jbuncher: have you done "# [05:07] edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=lts "? [05:07] jbuncher: Alright, go to software properties and... or do what rww says [05:07] Hi [05:08] jbuncher: On the last link i sent, see the section, From 9.04 or 8.04 too 10.04 LTS [05:08] I was wondering if there is a way to encrypt the main system drive on a linux system using truecypt === arjun__ is now known as arjun [05:09] here goes tinycore [05:10] KE1HA, yes, I've seen that, it doesn't work. [05:10] rww , Flannel : Thanks. You'd think that'd be listed. I'm surprised that Intrepid is even still available as an option, as it's not supported. [05:10] jbuncher: and like my original recommendation, going 2x or 3x levels up is not the best path. [05:11] looks like tinycore worked so far [05:11] KE1HA, we clearly are not communication well. [05:11] KE1HA: going from 8.04 to 10.04 is fine, tested, and supported. [05:12] Dr_Willis: should i wipe the hd not that i have tinycore and then try to re-install ubuntu? [05:12] now* [05:12] rww Ok, i give up. [05:15] my friend have 2gb ram. will it be ok if i dont create swapt space? [05:15] abhijit, better to have swap than not [05:16] bazhang, 1gb will do? for 2gb ram? actually we are running short on my friends hdd space? thats why [05:16] ok so currently, ubuntu will not boot from a cd, the hd will not boot xp, and tinycore will boot from a cd, but cant connect to the network, and im downloading puppylinux. where should i go from here? [05:17] abhijit, laptop? wants to hibernate/suspend? [05:17] bazhang, yes [05:17] any idea how to get 2 samba servers to know their hostnames? [05:17] UbuntuNoob, ask in a puppy support channel? was Ubuntu in there somewhere? [05:17] my window pc can ping them by hostname, but not eachother [05:17] Flannel, rww : thanks, started the upgrade. [05:17] abhijit, then need at least 2GB [05:18] bazhang, ok. i wll. thanks. :) [05:18] bazhang: it was one of the os that i couldnt boot, for some reason, from a cd [05:18] jbuncher: awesome. Good luck :) [05:18] UbuntuNoob, then check their support channel here on freenode [05:19] hello [05:19] KE1HA: LTS to LTS (6.06 to 8.04, or 8.04 to 10.04) is supported. All other versions can only upgrade to/from their previous version (six months out) [05:19] rww : thanks, ~ 2350 files to download.... [05:19] can anyone using gnome-do test test this condition and after testing if it affects you can you please mark it affect me also? [05:19] please? [05:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-do/+bug/622064 [05:19] oh no [05:19] bazhang: i thought this was the ubuntu support channel? [05:20] UbuntuNoob, you are asking about tinycore and puppy I thought [05:20] bazhang: tinycore was part of the debug procedure DrWillis was leading him through [05:20] bazhang: not particularly, i was more curious why ubuntu wouldnt boot from a cd that i just burned. im all around confused on what i should do [05:21] UbuntuNoob, md5 the iso? burn at very low speed and do the disk integrity check? those are the likely culprits in these cases [05:21] thune3, thanks for the clarification [05:22] bazhang: how would i md5 it? [05:22] !md5 | UbuntuNoob [05:22] UbuntuNoob: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:22] <_numbers> what is with mysql on ubuntu 10.04 64-bit? in several servers it has quit working. hangs on service start or stop [05:23] good night [05:23] is some one wakeup?

Could be some weird quirky issue with plymouth and the 10.04 release. Ive seen that happen a lot. The altermative cd might let you install. [06:28] Dr_Willis:do you use any other chat client ?

[06:30] hellow.. [06:30] UbuntuNoob: The big change in 10.04 that causes a LOT of issues is plymouth. You may want to try an alternetive-installer cd..

[06:34] Kuttan_: one inute let me try [06:35] thune3: this attempt seems to be going a lot further than the previous ones [06:35] UbuntuNoob: i would try xforcevesa as a last ditch, if this one fails. [06:36] thune3: whoa a desktop. who knew that came with ubuntu load disk [06:36] lol [06:36] i win [06:36] well, i guess you win in reality [06:37] kuttan_: when i type the command lsmod |grep snd-ymfpci i do not get any output [06:37] UbuntuNoob: i would like to see the output of "lspci | grep VGA", just to confirm chipset [06:37] UbuntuNoob: from what i gather from the news/sites - Intel sort of outsourced some of their chipsets to anotehr company. That company wrote the drivers and stuff for intel.. but Intel cant put the drivers under the GPL for Linux because the other company has the rights.. (seems like an Intel Lawyer dropped the ball) :) (tats how i hear the story at least) [06:37] thune3: how do i do that?

[06:52] well, it'd be great to get away with totally free software [06:52] amazing flexibility [06:52] umesh: No , but it may mean you may have to spend some more time to mae it work [06:52] UbuntuNoob: there are a lot of potential fixes that have popped up (as outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes). there was a time 2-3 months ago where there were not good solutions. It's just a bit of a pain. [06:52] umesh, btw what is the make of your card [06:52] my idea for a school computer lab is pretty 'out there' [06:52] umesh, sorry I meant make of your motherboad [06:53] but it aims to minimize tco [06:53] so what i want to do is like build our own computers and save a ton that way [06:53] and use all foss software [06:53] thune3: well im not too sure considering i dont really have any clure about what im doing, but if you think its an option, ill probably install 10.04 now, because i have the disk ready to go [06:53] sure it might seem like it's more work but shit, i'll do that [06:53] hmmmm, server people know more.

[07:05] Sanus, i think you should try #ubuntu-ps3 [07:05] UbuntuNoob: it's not too hard. boot with workaround you already used, and paste the first two lines in block from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes#GTT%20Incoherency%20Patch, reboot without workaround and paste the second set of blocked lines, and reboot.

[07:23] note that i do regard viruses as a specific type of malware, not as an umbrella term though [07:23] callmechewy, The reason you don't hear about virii on linux is that it's a bit pointless to write them. The filesystem permissions won't allow a normal user to run the virus in a way that can damage the system, take over it, etc. About the only thing it would be able to do is trash a home directory. [07:23] KE1HA: the bad thing about that last one is that i need windows, or do you think it will work with wine¿ [07:23] sinistrad: nice attempt at pretending to know latin, but it's viruses [07:23] sinistrad: and the users are good enough at doing that :) [07:24] The other advantages is almost 100% of the software is free [07:24] xangua: I dint read it fully.

[07:30] UbuntuNoob: for a new install you may want a / parittion, a /home parittion and a swap partition [07:31] Dr_Willis: im not sure how extreme is necessary, all i want to do is make sure that virus is gone. [07:31] UbuntuNoob: if you formated its gone. [07:31] Yeah...

[08:36] ...it tries to start from the hard drive [08:36] tarv, how do ya use it? [08:36] robertzaccour: you don't know apt-get ? [08:36] TiK, yes i do [08:36] do you have opera already? [08:36] python -m SimpleHTTPServer [08:36] I win. [08:36] tarv, no but i can get it [08:36] robertzaccour: apache2 s what you want then put the files in /var/www [08:37] TiK, i don't know what you mean by put the files in /var/www [08:37] robertzaccour, grab it and come back [08:37] robertzaccour: the files you want too send... [08:37] robertzaccour: /var/www is a directory... [08:37] then configure apache, make sure your firewall is set up, dodge any attacks, and you're set. [08:38] Dr_Willis: if you happen to be here could you help by any chance? [08:38] the easiest way of getting a file to somebody. [08:38] tarv, does FF have that kind of extension? [08:38] hi which forum for metacity/ati problem [08:38] apache2 needs no real cofig you just have to forward port and keep an eye on /var/log/apache2/access.log or whatever it is [08:38] yeah, whatever. [08:38] robertzaccour, not that i know of in ff. if you try opera, look for the 'unite' features. it's very simple. [08:39] opera ain't in the repos. off to their website brb [08:40] walker_: trying to look at their bug list - I suppose you don't have an error message to use with searching, like anything from dmesg [08:40] anyone have advice? [08:41] hey guys how do i specify keyrings? [08:41] installing opera to send files to someone is kinda like buying a sheep to cut your grass [08:41] ubuntuone to send files [08:41] question about xubuntu from usb: does the bios need to support boot from usb or is that a function of the usb drive? [08:41] tarv: bios [08:41] tarv: i believe the bios needs to support it [08:41] how can i find out what port #'s processes are currently listening on? lsof is giving me responses like 'TCP *:submission (LISTEN)'. I want the actual numbers, etc [08:42] tarv: bios, though different types of USB mass storage device are supported to different degrees [08:42] MACscr: sudo netstat -np --inet [08:42] i read somewhere that some newer usb flash drives can be bootable without the bios supporting it, but i'm not sure how that would work or if it's even accurate info. [08:42] ok got opera now [08:43] MACscr: sudo is required to find out which program is using a port, -n stops it from resolving port numbers to service names, -p shows the program, --inet limits to just ports, not sockets. [08:43] tarv, i've got opera now [08:43] robertzaccour, do you see the 'unite' button on the left hand side? [08:43] UbuntuNoob: something like this? You can edit the kernel boot line at the first stages of booting in grub, press e http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2010/02/turning-off-kernel-mode-settin.html [08:43] it keeps telling me error fetching keyring whats that about mate? [08:43] rww: it seems to only be listing ports that currently have a connection though. For example its not listing port 25, even though smtp is listening on it [08:44] a Linux browser with an EULA? lol [08:44] tarv, yes [08:44] MACscr: oh, duh, sorry. Throw -l on there too [08:44] vegombrei: you can check the repositories that are referenced, their pages usually have keyring install command lines [08:45] tarv, setting up unite right now [08:45] robertzaccour, all of the server features are in the 'unite' section. i think it's probably self explanatory. if not, ask. [08:45] Newa: dmesg, that's something new to me, stuff comes up, a lot of stuff. I'll look for anything that looks error-message-esque [08:45] it's not fatal but gives added security in knowing that the installed packages were made by the original software developer [08:45] tarv, oh ok thanks [08:45] rww: thanks for the info and explanations [08:46] Newa: dude that updates giving quite a few errors .. i think my sources or something mebbe messed up [08:47] i tried pressing e it didnt do anything [08:47] i also tried to type in the same command that let me boot on the cd and it didnt do anything [08:47] Newa: i just cancelled the update coz it kept failing some way .. i think i must update all my repositories first .. how do i do that? [08:48] robertzaccour: I'm not sure I never tried it but I noticed you can just right click any one in this room with pidgin and the menu drops with one that says send file to. did anyone ever try that? I never did. [08:48] what is the easiest way to customize my keyboard layout? (specifically, i want to put something useful on numpad level 3). [08:48] i've done it before just pictures though [08:48] vegombrei: what kind of error messages did you get? [08:49] robertzaccour: so it has limits? [08:49] sacarlson, i'm not sure [08:49] can anyone help me with configuring the ldap portion for the ubuntu server [08:49] robertzaccour: I just setup to send you an avi file it didn't complain [08:51] !layout | H0lyD4wg [08:51] H0lyD4wg: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [08:51] Hi everyone :) [08:51] hi\ [08:51] <[sleepy]> Hi [08:51] sacarlson, oh ok thanks. what is it?

[08:54] of the versions [08:54] perhaps 173 [08:55] Joint: synaptic, aptitude, apt-get [08:55] robertzaccour: did you cancel the transmision? I was about to. [08:55] Joint: Just try them and find your favorite package manager. [08:55] BlueEagle, there was one version that it was the installer from the website [08:55] of nvidia [08:55] so that's why i want to remove that one === Robbie is now known as Guest48780 [08:55] and i just installed it using it m-a [08:56] this version i want to remove 173.14.27 [08:56] Joint: One o fthe main differences between Linux and Windows is that you rarely have to go to the vendors site to find drivers. [08:56] anyone know which irc channel discusses metacity/ui/driver issues ? [08:56] Here's my question: I try to re-encode all files in a directory, mp3 to mp3, by passing 192k bitrate. Here my command : ls -d *.mp3 | sed -e 's/\(.*\)\.mp3/lame --decode "&" -o "\1.wav"; rm "&"; lame --cbr -q 2 -b 192 "\1.wav" -o "&"; rm "\1.wav"/' | sh [08:56] BlueEagle, the other version was working fine, [08:57] so that's why [08:57] Any bestter idea ? :p [08:57] Newa: most of the errors are unable to lock to administrative directory [08:57] i want to used the other version [08:57] Joint: If you installed something that was not provided from the reposetory please read the instructions with the package you installed for information on how to remove it. [08:57] sacarlson, yes haha [08:57] erkmaned: make a script that does it... so its easier to see what its doing, and debug. [08:57] sacarlson, never cared to go watch avatar, looks pretty lame [08:57] Newa: you think its because i installed the netbook edition of ubuntu on my laptop [08:57] ? [08:57] robertzaccour: ok well if I didn't take it down I guess it could have even been restarted on failure [08:58] shouldn't be. are you running synaptic or software sources at the same time?

[08:58] Dr_Willis :) yeah, sure, but in one command ? :) [08:58] it does not say nothing about removing it [08:58] sacarlson, thanks though [08:58] erkmaned: why does that matter? [08:58] erkmaned: for file in *.mp3; do ... whatever with "$file"; done [08:58] erkmaned: yep, a for loop. <=== I've tried, but it was wrong :( [08:58] erkmaned: i make scripts that generate script files i can then double check and run. [08:58] tarv, how do i use unite? [08:59] erkmaned: parsing ls output is gernally not the best way to do that either. :) [08:59] robertzaccour: just that my list was listed alphabeticle and that was on top random pick. [08:59] i got it [08:59] thanks u [08:59] ;) [08:59] erkmaned: for file in *.mp3; do ... whatever with "$file"; done <=== :) hum, nice... so, the "in *.mp3" will scan all file in my directory, right? :) [08:59] sacarlson, my favorite movie is a very rare one. netflix don't even have it haha [08:59] erkmaned: for file in *.mp3;; do lame --decode "$file" -o "${file%.mp3}.wav" ... etc. [09:00] erkmaned: yep. the sed thing is crazy.

[09:01] robertzaccour, there's a button on the left hand side. when you click it, the server/sharing features will show. do you see that? [09:01] Newa: you wanna take a look? http://pastebin.com/cQBWkaWz [09:01] erkmaned: correct. you'll have to change the extension to .wav as shown. <=== ok. Nice ^^ thanks a lot ^^ [09:01] tarv, yes. is it supposed to work with avi? [09:02] the file sharing section should work with any file, i think. [09:02] tarv, not with this avi. tried it a few minutes ago [09:02] erkmaned: welcome. #bash can assist you with details. [09:03] (sorry if I don't see all messages... I'm french, thanks for your attention :)) [09:03] robertzaccour, what happened? any message? also, double check if a password is set, or if file sharing is set to public. [09:03] prince_jammys :D Uh, really? #bash seems to be a nice helpful chan for my problem, right? :D [09:04] tarv, i'm transferring with skype. its gonna take about 30 hours it says [09:04] prince_jammys (sorry for my `english', perhaps very bad, I'm french ><" !) [09:04] yikes! [09:04] are there any upload sites i can put a movie on? i'm pretty sure its too big for youtube haha [09:05] erkmaned: your english is good. yes, #bash has useful stuff. go there and do a ''/topic'' [09:05] robertzaccour: yeah, plenty, e.g. rapidshare.com, and others. [09:06] then you send your friend a link to the file. [09:06] prince_jammys sorry :-/ new at irc, what is a `/topic' ? :-O [09:06] vegombrei: this should fix it.

[09:06] erkmaned: type it here: /topic [09:06] robertzaccour: for example\ [09:06] prince_jammys, oh ok thanks [09:06] does ubuntu sever 10.4 has a firewall enabled by default? [09:06] ubottu: firewall | g0tcha [09:06] g0tcha: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [09:06] g0tcha: and no, it's not enabled by default [09:07] erkmaned: it shows you the stuff in the irc channels 'topic' message, which is often useful links. [09:07] prince_jammys, max is 500MB and mine is 4 times that size [09:07] robertzaccour: split it [09:07] prince_jammys ><" 'doesn't work: I need to be a op :-/ [09:07] lol [09:08] rww, thanks for the links.. will keep them so i can refer to them later.. but how do i make sure there is no firewall running? [09:08] robertzaccour, do you know how to create torrents? that might be an easy solution. [09:08] prince_jammys, how? [09:08] robertzaccour: split -b NUMBEROFBYTES yourfile [09:08] prince_jammys, i'm confused already [09:08] g0tcha: no as far as I know the firewall is disabled in ubuntu 10.04 but your adsl router will probly be set to only allow outgoing initial conections. [09:08] robertzaccour: first, figure out how big you want each chunk to be. [09:08] Newa: I found no error code, and just to clarify again, it says disconnected under wireless networks. [09:09] * erkmaned 私はＩＲＣが好きです ^^ === [sleepy] is now known as [sleepy|ZzZzzz] [09:09] robertzaccour: let's say 400000 bytes. so in a terminal ''split -b 400000 /path/to/your/file'' [09:10] Newa: but no option to connect to anything [09:10] how do i make a torrent? [09:10] why this channel didnt work yesterday ? [09:10] prince_jammys :) so... I'm going to go out. Thanks for all ^^ have a nice day! [09:11] erkmaned: welcome. [09:11] ubuntu_lucid: religious holiday. [09:11] robertzaccour: you can setup a torrent for send or recieve with vuze [09:11] vuze.com? [09:12] robertzaccour: vuze is a program torrent client can be installed with apt-get install vuze [09:12] sacarlson, oh ok thanks [09:13] walker_: did you see any "unsupported jumbo" messages there? [09:14] will vuze automatically give me the link? [09:14] robertzaccour: are you sending the file or is someone comeing to pick it up? if the last then you will have to setup your router to nat forward to you local IP address. [09:15] sacarlson, i'm sending a file [09:15] robertzaccour: just one file? [09:15] sacarlson, yes just 1 4GB file [09:16] Newa: No, and I looked pretty thoroughly, is there not a search for the console, that would make it easier for me to say definitively. [09:16] skype is transferring it at around 50kb/s now [09:16] robertzaccour: what was wrong with the first method just send it with pidgin? what do they have on there side windows? [09:16] and i have a 10MB connection [09:16] sacarlson, for some reason i can't. the selection in the menu is grayed out [09:16] the send file i mean [09:16] i tried drag and drop but nope [09:17] walker_: in system - administration - log file viewer there should be one [09:17] sacarlson, hmm this is weird.. i installed Redmine and it requires port 3000, when i ssh to my ubuntu server and i use lynx to go to localhost:3000 it works fine, but on my pc's browser i get connection timed out [09:17] robertzaccour: we were using all the bandwidth I had when we tested it at 100kb/sec [09:17] robertzaccour, 10mb is your down, what's the up? [09:17] tarv, 1 or 2 [09:18] robertzaccour: oh I don't know what I have installed then that makes it work. I'll take a look at my plugins [09:18] hello there i am using ubuntu 10.04, after starting up & login sound, my system remains idle for 10-15 seconds then shows up the desktop. i am using only ubuntu, no other OSes. how to make it start faster? [09:18] robertzaccour, if your service is any kind of normal, i wouldn't expect to maintain an upspeed anywhere near 1 or 2mb. [09:18] please help [09:18] any one know why when i try to send or receive files using pidgin, it failed in the middle of process? [09:19] Newa: No such error message in the log, even double checked. [09:19] mitiora, messengers haven't been very reliable for me with file sharing, especialy big fies. [09:20] g0tcha: are they on the same network? both on local lan? [09:20] hardware configuration is intel dual core, 1gb ram, 160 gb sata hdd [09:20] tarv i know. i used to hae a 5MB connection but i realized when i upgraded to 10 that the higher it is the percentage of maximum is always higher [09:20] sacarlson, yes, i ssh to the server from this pc to it fine [09:20] g0tcha: oh you need to put the address of your computer not local:3000 you need something like 192.168.2.234:3000 [09:21] tarv, for ex. 3.5/5MB is lower than 9.2/10MB (fairly accurate comparison) [09:21] tarv, oh, ok thanx [09:21] sacarlson, yeah ofcourse, in my pc browser im using the ip of ubuntu server and port 3000 [09:21] just like you said [09:21] g0tcha: oh and you want to ssh? [09:22] sacarlson, hmm no.. i want to open it from my pc browser using ubuntu ip:3000 but like i said i cant do that [09:22] keeps pinging out [09:22] hello there i am using ubuntu 10.04, after starting up & login sound, my system remains idle for 10-15 seconds then shows up the desktop. i am using only ubuntu, no other OSes. how to make it start faster? hardware configuration is intel dual core, 1gb ram, 160 gb sata hdd, please help [09:22] robertzaccour and g0tcha, someone here suggested apache earlier for file sharing. if you put in a little time learning it, that's probably the best option out there. [09:22] g0tcha: I'm not familure with redmine. is that like a web host like apache2? [09:23] tarv, i dont know what does that got to do with me? [09:23] g0tcha: oh you can't even ping your ubuntu server from your pc? ping 192.168.2.123 ? [09:23] sacarlson, its like a web interface [09:24] i can ping it fine heheh [09:24] walker_: this looks like a solution, although it will require compiling a new wireless driver and possibly blacklisting your current ath5k [09:24] http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=10470 [09:24] i just said i can ssh to it.. [09:24] tarv, got a lot goin on much of the time. is it easy? [09:24] but I'd get a second opinion from a wireless support channel before doing the steps [09:24] g0tcha: well try apache2 that I can help you with. it works very good for me to web host. [09:25] any help regarding this is very much appreciated [09:25] sacarlson, dude, it has nothing to do with web hosting, Redmine uses Apache2 anyways, only difference is it uses its own port [09:25] my problem is not being able to access ubuntu server through a certain port [09:25] Newa: do know any good wireless support channels? [09:25] when localy i can access that port fine [09:25] robertzaccour, it's not brain surgery, but it's not 123. [09:26] abhi: you mean after you login at teh GDM screen it takes 15+ sec for gnome to actually startup? [09:26] g0tcha: oh ok the pastbin me the /etc/apache2 config files [09:26] yes [09:26] tarv, installing now [09:27] i see only startup screen and the mouse pointer only === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [09:27] for 15 secs [09:27] abhi: so... the issue is? :) ive never really counte how long this older pc takes.. Oh.. GNOME dosent actually start? or what exactly? [09:27] yes gnome starts up but takes more than the actual time [09:28] sacarlson, dude, youre missing the point.. apache is not the problem :/ [09:28] tarv, where is it saved at by default? [09:28] apache is working fine [09:28] walker_: after a few links, this seems like up-to-date info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros [09:28] g0tcha: so you think redmine setup a firewall? [09:28] sacarlson, do you mind if i private msg you? [09:29] g0tcha: sure [09:29] i have upgraded the system to faster hardware, still it takes so long, ubuntu starts up quicker on my brother's laptop [09:29] dr. willis: any help regarding this is appreciated [09:30] abhi: other then disable some startuping up things in gnome. no idea. Ive never really worried about the time it takes to boot up or startup. when i have 5+ week uptimes [09:31] walker_: try #linux-wireless [09:31] robertzaccour, i'm a windoze user, lol, part time linuxer, i.e., i'm not the guy to be asking about apache in linux. === bilalakhtar is now known as bilalakhtar_ [09:32] Newa: thanks, i'll give it a try, after i head over to that channel, thanks for the help!

Repos is as deep as I usually wanna go haha [09:32] Hey [09:33] abhi: is your ubuntu fresh install? also check top [09:33] .sh files are nice for themes [09:33] are the dependencies with ubuntu-xen-desktop broken in lucid? [09:33] got one that looks like Mac OS X [09:33] prefer the default theme though [09:33] dr. willis: i have recomended ubuntu to many sales professionals on their laptops bcoz it takes very short time to startup and shutdown, it is taking more time on my system itself, that is why i am concerned about this problem [09:33] i cant install it due to dependency problems [09:33] yes, it is a fresh installation [09:33] christ, is it even possible to touch a running ubuntu system without breaking pulseaudio in some way? who decided this shit was ready for prime time? [09:33] So I did something stupid. I set up a netboot machine and forgot the password. How can I change it? The grub trick obviously doesn't work because it is net booting. [09:34] Can anyone assist?

[09:36] abhijeet: still it is taking time, process indicator of the cpu also doesnot blink during this time [09:37] abhi: is ur pc is stand alone or trying to get internet connection during the gnome setting? [09:37] abhi: oops.. [09:37] hey [09:38] i have a problem with mounting my hard disk [09:38] i have internet connection but how can i see whether it is trying to connect to internet or not? [09:38] maybe you can help me? [09:38] * erkmaned first step: check if all partitions (e.g. jokers for boot) are avaiable :) run sudo fdisk on /dev/sda (or everyelse desk if isn't good)...

Just to replace the mbr by the first one (whih is the original mbr) :) [09:39] abhi: so when u boot u r machine it is automatically got connected or u have to manually connect it.. [09:39] it doesnot show the booting processes, rather shows only the blank screen [09:39] what do you think 'bout my solution ? ^^ [09:39] it gets connected automatically [09:39] Can anyone help me salvage my install??!? I forgot the password. It's a net booting system and I have access to the root folder but when I try to chroot and use passwd I get an error [09:39] i used wired broadband [09:40] abhi, can u just once turn of the broadband and try to boot.. it is just guess.. [09:41] abhi, debugging such issue is just hit and trial... [09:41] abhijeet: yes sir, i have tried this option also but in vain..

Version 1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 66 kB, installed size 236 kB [10:15] I thought ntpdate was installed by default. dosent the installer even ask to auto sync? i forget :) [10:15] ntpdate is installed by default. ntp isn't. [10:15] in general, if you have persistant clock drift, you want ntp. [10:16] I had a laptop once where the clock ran like 10x faster then normal. :) the seconds would fly by... [10:16] A Bios update fixed that. :) [10:18] does anyone know why i have to restart udev everytime i boot up lucid? if i dont restart, it use 20% of the cpu and when i restart udev the cpu is going straight away to 0. i checked top and before i restart udev there are app like udisk xorg volume control etc that use my cpu and just when i restart udev everything is going to 0. [10:18] is there any solution to it ? [10:18] other then restarting it in rc.local ? ;) [10:19] ouyes: If your clock is wrong every time you start Ubuntu, it's probably because 1) you're dual booting with Windows, and Windows fails at knowing what UTC is, or 2) your CMOS battery (which doesn't equal your laptop battery) is dead. [10:19] !list [10:19] i am continuously getting a log-in message box when ever i am running firefox, persistently and a google search pointed that the particular port number is used by couchdb. the message is A username and password are being requested by http://localhost:33388.

Ive had that issue befor also.. windows was est, ubuntu was some other one. [10:20] ouyes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple%20Boot%20Systems%20Time%20Conflicts [10:20] I live in Indiana - our Time Zones are total chaos. [10:20] Dr_Willis: Ubuntu stores the system clock in UTC by default, like every other sane operating system out there. Guess which operating system doesn't.

(or checking for preexisting bugs reports) [10:26] 你說啥 [10:26] 說啥 [10:26] well will ubuntu work on Mac Pro 1,1 early 2006 ? [10:27] grazie [10:27] ubuntu_lucid: does this same problem with udev also happen with a boot from a lucid install cd? [10:28] how can I get it to work [10:28] hi [10:28] hi [10:28] anyone can help me [10:29] ubuntu_lucid: I wasn't sending that to you, hence your name not being at the front of the message :\ [10:29] nnel | IRC Guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) is released! | Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 | Download: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu [10:29] * #ubuntu 的話題由 Pici 於 Thu Aug 19 03:01:26 2010 設定 [10:29] -ChanServ- [#ubuntu] Welcome to #ubuntu!

[10:29] my network manager cannot detect modem [10:30] I used ubuntu 9.10 [10:31] is there any virtual machine tools to recommend? [10:31] agus: you use ubuntu on vm? [10:31] sometimes I use usb_modeswitch, but I have to create new profile on modem broadband mobile [10:31] ouyes: I like virtualbox works good for me on 10.04 [10:32] no, I use ubuntu installed on hard disk [10:33] agus: i use virtualbox with 10,04 and faced same problem then i did http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-network-manager-disabled-problem-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html [10:33] agus: you can give it a try [10:33] I cannot installed ubuntu 10.04, my notebook does not support [10:34] agus: kinda notebook ? [10:34] I use notebook zyrex [10:34] hi [10:35] agus: zyrex I don't know, specs ? [10:35] dual core, vga: sismedia [10:35] Is there a tool which is able to recursive shrink all pictures in a directory (including subdirs). (Filesize) [10:36] agus: ic, did you try with the alternate installer ? which OS are you currently speaking from ? [10:36] okay, report filed. [10:36] nsaw: you can use shelll tools + convert of mogrify from imagemagik [10:36] nsaw: shrink == resize? [10:36] Seveas: also, found a post that says to try turning off ACPI if it's not used (it's not) so I did, seeing if that will help [10:36] bonjour a tous, j'ai un souci sur le terminal ! gedit, fonctionne sudo gedit aussi, mais lorsque je suis en root (sudo -i) j'ai un message d erreur avec gtk-warning [10:37] I have tried both live cd and alternate, screen doesnot work properly [10:37] ubottu: fr | dam_switch [10:37] dam_switch: 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. [10:37] erUSUL: yes i want all picturs to a size of 100kb [10:38] nsaw: but how do you plan to do it? resizing them to say, half its high and width ? [10:38] I use ubuntu 10.04 i386, and the gnome-panel as usual. Gnome panel is not "extended", so it fills only the space which is needed by the icons. But it often forget to refresh (i.e. my clock is now showing the time of one hour ago), unless i open an other applications which affect (and enlarge) the notification area: when the panel has to change size, it finally refreshes. That "freezing" happens very often, but n [10:38] ways. It happens with both my panels, and it happens since april. I have already tried with new panels, it always happens. [10:38] nsaw: changing the image format? [10:38] agus: so it installs, but you get problems with x just, tried to reconfigure graphics after a full upgrade ? [10:39] erUSUL: that is exactly my problem, my target is to reduce the filesize. I tried it with convert -geometry but not all pictures have the same resolution [10:40] so I shrink pictures again which are already small . [10:40] nsaw: convert/mogrify -resize 50% ? [10:40] I dont want to take risk by installing ubuntu 10.04, because there are many application on my notebook [10:40] nsaw: what format are the pictures? jpeg ? [10:40] jpg [10:40] yes [10:41] i have some pics in raw format too but they are not important yes [10:41] yet [10:42] i know that some websites are ables to shink pictures to a predefined filesize, but i dont know the algorythm behind that === robi__ is now known as rbZ [10:42] sacarlson, "The virtual machine window is optimized to work in 32 bit color mode but the virtual display is currently set to 16 bit."when I try to install windows xp 32-bit [10:42] flickr use imagemagick suite. [10:43] therefor i thought that there are maybe tools which can do that [10:43] ouyes, how to know my ubuntu is not 64 bit ? [10:43] ouyes: I always just say ok to that [10:44] nsaw: i do not know either... [10:44] sacarlson, non-bootable disk [10:44] sacarlson, "non-bootable disk" [10:44] i know imagemagick but I have no Idea how to do that what I want with it. Sure I can resize each picture until it matches the target but I am not gonna to do this 20000 times ;) [10:44] no problem [10:44] ouyes: so you using a real cd? [10:44] maybe i need to script it then for my self [10:44] sacarlson, yes [10:45] ouyes: why no use the iso file? [10:45] sacarlson, how to use a iso file ? [10:46] sacarlson, I use the tool virtualbox ose [10:46] ouyes: in storage setup change cd to the iso file that you want to install in the machine you are creating [10:46] brb [10:47] ouyes: I use the virtualbox deb install from the sun site. not sure that would mater for this. [10:47] sacarlson, no that option in storage setup [10:49] i restarted xfce panel to update my clock, which worked, but i got some error messages. should i restart x instead? [10:50] ouyes: well this isn't the version I use but I found this http://www.flickr.com/photos/vincentt/416553085/ [10:50] does anyone know where the setting is, that controls whether a running application appears on the panel? What I want is to be able to move apps to different virtual desktops, and for them only to appear on that desktop's panel [10:52] hal: is the window list. in its preferences you can configure wether you want all apps to appear in all desktops or viceversa [10:52] ought oh, xfce disappeared. now what? [10:53] erUSUL: thank you for the response, but where are those settings, please? [10:53] have anyone of you ever managed with a freezing gnome-panel? i mean responsive, functioning, but not refreshing its graphics (the clock goes on, but always shows the same time as one hour ago, network manager works, but always shows it's disconnected...). It happens with not-extended panel, until i enlarge it (i.e. calling an application which notificates in the notification area) [10:54] hal: right click on the left side window list [10:54] anyone know how to tell 'links' how to enter a username into an edit field? key-stroke? === _NG is now known as _ng [10:55] erUSUL: ok, I hate the preferences now. Thank you. But I have "Show windows from current workspace" enabled, but this does not have any effect [10:55] erUSUL: sorry, I meant *have*! [10:55] Quatar[it]away: I have had small parts of my screen turn black until I put something over it so it rewrote the pixals. it was in the video driver. [10:55] hal: Works Here (tm) [10:56] sacarlson: you fixed? [10:56] erUSUL: so when you change to another workspace, your panel is completely clear? [10:56] Quatar[it]away: I think it was an old s3 video card. I was able to make it work when I set it to run in vesa mode but that's slow for video [10:56] hal: correct [10:57] hmm , that's really annoying - it doesn't work on mine :( [10:57] sacarlson: thx anyway [10:57] Quatar[it]away: I think I later went to the #s3 guys and they gave me some code that also made it better. [10:57] how to know my ubuntu is not 32 -bit? [10:58] erUSUL: ok, I changed the settings and then changed them back again, and now it works. I wonder if it will persist after a reboot === _ng is now known as _NG [10:58] thank you for your help erUSUL :) [10:58] ouyes: uname -m [10:58] hal: no problem [10:59] erUSUL, x86_64 [10:59] ouyes: that's 64 bits [10:59] erUSUL, what is the output for 32 bits? [10:59] ouyes: i686 [10:59] an 8kb kernel? [10:59] :p [11:01] how to enable iso support for virtualbox ose? === tempel_dirne is now known as tempeldirne [11:03] ouyes: so your sure it's not supported on ose? then install the one from sun it's just a deb file [11:03] ouyes: I think I moved to the non ose for the samba support that seemed to be missing also in ose. [11:03] sacarlson, where is it ? give me a url will you? [11:04] ouyes: I guess oricle has it now. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [11:06] I am so stupid, [11:06] ouyes: why do you say that? [11:07] ask stupid questions, just ask google first , ask stupid questions will waste people's time , but not for google, google will always have time [11:08] sometimes you get pointed in a total different direction if you ask 1300 people they might come up with a total different thought doesn't hurt to ask. [11:08] um, there is a limit to ext3 to 32k files per folder, right? what happens if there are more? [11:09] MACscr: The hard drive explodes! [11:09] hello amy [11:09] well i have one with 35k and im just curious if its going to cause performance issues because of that [11:10] MACscr: I seriously doubt it would cause performance issues if it isn't already [11:10] just don't go over the limit? [11:10] well there has to be somethign going on if there is a limit [11:10] giustizia privata [11:10] its already over [11:11] MACscr: I have no idea why that limit exists so... [11:11] MACscr: Upgrade to ext4 at least? [11:11] i've to install libcupsys2 that's required by a deb that i have to install..it's provided virtually by libcups2, how can i say dpkg that it has to install libcups2? [11:11] sacarlson, you goto system tools and virtual machine manage? [11:11] lol, you cant just upgrade to ext4 [11:11] yeah MACscr is right [11:12] nisstyre65: For long time, there always were limitations on file systems. [11:12] MACscr: lots of files in a dir will allways have a performance hit. [11:12] hi all. When you connect to a url, how can I see the middle websites that you are redirected to before reaching the final destination? Maybe from terminal window? === denny_ is now known as denny [11:12] cesc: use a browser that doesn't follow http redirects? [11:12] curl doesn't follow redirects [11:13] ouyes: let me check [11:13] i think i crashed x or gnome. all i have now is this window. alt-ctrl-backspace did not restart the window manager. what can i do without restarting the system? [11:13] tarv: try startx [11:14] tarv: ALT+F2 -- Something shows up? Try typing "metacity --replace" [11:14] nisstyre65, OK this is an option... but it must be a way to see those intermediate sites where you are redirected when trying to reach a website. [11:15] cesc: your browser is designed to follow http redirects without you noticing...so you need something that doesn't follow it, or something to monitor http requests/responses and tell you [11:15] ouyes: after I create the machine I select it and goto storage and seteup ide find cd that is empty on mine to start and change that to be an iso file [11:15] nisstyre65, thanks for your info. [11:15] nisstyre65, it spat an error. red2kic, it wouldn't run. [11:16] tarv: what was the error when you ran 'startx' ? [11:16] nisstyre65, 'server is already active for display 0' [11:17] sacarlson, how you goto from the menu? [11:17] sacarlson, you goto system tools and virtual machine manage? [11:17] tarv: that means xorg is already running [11:18] ps aux | grep xorg will give you the PIDs [11:18] what is the latest kernel realease for ubuntu 10.04 ? [11:18] ibrahim-kasem: packages.ubuntu.com can say [11:18] mp3 [11:18] nisstyre65, what could be my problem here? i restarted xfce-panel to get my clock to update, which caused my crash.

[11:34] zap85: if that does not offer a driver for the wifi then do « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter » while connected to internet via wired [11:34] zap85: and reboot [11:34] sint_holo: whats the problem with just using the normal install CD ? [11:35] nisstyre65, 'no such process' [11:35] erUSUL: i noticed on one of my laptops it offered the b43 and sta driver.. i installed the b43 and it dident work. becuse the driver was blacklisted.. Not sure why it was blacklisted. :) Took me an hr+ to figure it out [11:35] tarv: so xfdesktop is running, but you are not in the GUI? [11:36] i have xchat up, a terminal, and now a browser [11:36] nothing else [11:36] Dr_Willis: maybe you installed b43-fwcutter and that package blacklisted sta ? [11:36] tarv: okay, but the desktop environment just isn't running right? [11:36] hello [11:36] ie: your desktop, panel, etc.. [11:36] ikonia : no cdrom drive i will just go for the usb boot option: the whole thing was too convoluted : a net top with a mangled hard drive and a belkin wireless interface [11:36] nisstyre65, right [11:37] erUSUL, in my experience with broadcom drivers the sta works fine [11:37] tarv: try typing exec startxfce4 [11:37] I'm a newbie in linux and ubuntu, so can i ask some questions? [11:37] erUSUL: yes.. perhaps.. or perhaps i tried sta first.. and it dident work (but still blacklosted b43) so when i instelled b43 sfterwards I should of removed sta first.. [11:37] er, minus the exec [11:37] you don't need it [11:37] hi all, i just bought a wireless pci card and it seems to be correctly installed but inactive... I hope this helps: http://pastebin.com/L2jHRkJW [11:37] How do i start any app?

[11:37] slowbro: you do realize gcc does not have a GUI. [11:37] ikonia: i was trying to tft boot from the laptop with a cincident shared internet connection [11:37] slowbro: gcc is a cli app. you run a in a terminal « gcc -o exescutable executable.c » [11:38] Dr_Willis: :) [11:38] Dr_Willis: how to install sta driver?

I think it downloads the drivers, am I right? [11:59] erUSUL, yeah, that's it [11:59] aleixosk: the package needs a connection to internet to download the firmware [11:59] wilhart: alsa goes through pulse and 10.04 pulse is default. are you sure?

[12:20] hi [12:20] ikonia:that is where it went wrong, i have not been at the machine for some weeks [12:21] fierman: ok, so that's not planning [12:21] i know, i scored below average on my ITIL test [12:21] fierman: log a bug for it [12:21] will do [12:21] fierman: consider using LTS releases 10.04 for example for production use [12:23] ikonia: not that it might interest you, but i built a 9.10 machine in april, for use with my collegues in .nl.. it worked perfectly then. the 'plan' was to hold all updates and upgrades [12:23] i am working in congo now, and i need that machine today [12:23] the small joke is that someone DID in fact do an upgrade [12:24] fierman: I know how you can get into that situation, it's not a critisism [12:24] now trying to fix it... [12:24] ikonia: it does not feel as criticism , no worries [12:24] :) [12:24] you are right [12:24] but i feel sort of desperate now [12:24] histo, how can i change my password, even if my /home folder is encrypted ?

[12:26] but if i change my password, i cannot encrypt my home folder [12:26] Benwa: why ? [12:27] because it's the same pass used for the login and the encryption, i changed the pass but just for the login and sudo, not for encrypted home folder [12:28] Benwa: ok ? still don't understand what the problem is [12:28] if i change my user password, i cannot read my home folder anymore [12:28] Benwa: you need to change your encyption password then, the encyption shouldn't be read of your login passowrd [12:29] help | i am trying to create a .htaccess file to write a custom error document, and create a auth.

[12:45] why is that a kernel problem ? [12:45] no the driver maybe [12:45] or a driver problem ? [12:45] kernel is allright [12:45] meli_sha, it can be anything, but since the plymouth load screen you basically can't know what happens. [12:45] i have question i checked udev --monitor and the output what the ouput mean pls [12:45] hello all [12:45] meli_sha: have you tried removing the splash screen to see if you get better information [12:45] flupke: have you ever look for "system log viewer" ?

[12:47] ty erUSUL [12:47] Renski: that makes echo do not output the newline [12:47] meli_sha: use the "nosplash" boot option [12:47] I beleive that still works [12:47] hu uh [12:47] Renski: or use printf « printf "%s" 'test' | md5sum [12:48] meli_sha, the problem is that the boot log is stored into a file, but that file is overwritten on the next boot ... so you can't see the log of failed boots ... [12:48] thanks erUSUL, thats giving me the result I expect now [12:48] flupke: i know that all logs are logging by date hour second... how to owerwrite them ? why we can not save them seperate ... [12:49] ikonia: i will try it ... is there any - or -- characters before nosplash [12:49] meli_sha: no [12:49] try http://toko.baliwae.com/product_info.php?products_id=2061 [12:49] meli_sha, I would drop that whole plymouth thing if I could, but apparently you can't [12:50] this is linux distro indonesian made [12:50] more powerfull than ubuntu [12:51] flupke: sorry for my english. i can not understand what you mean on your last sentence. [12:51] theres ways to sort of disable plymouth. One is the 'text' option. but that also defaults to turning off GDM also. :) but you could start gdm from rc.local i guess.. [12:51] meli_sha, ikonia, to remove the splash screen, you empty the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub [12:51] meli_sha, plymouth is the "splash screen" you see at boot [12:52] flupke: i know that we can edit the boot command at the grub . am i right ? we dont need to chage something from os now ?! [12:53] meli_sha, yes you can change this setting in the grub screen at startup too [12:54] I'm having problem with Swedish locale and weechat [12:54] weechat????? [12:54] How do I restart hdparm? It seems like there isn't a file called hdparm in /etc/init.d/ [12:54] flupke: i will do it now. thank you! i will not come back because we dont have other alternative solutions. thank you again! [12:55] I've set the charset to utf-8 and locale to sv_SE-utf8 both on ubuntu and my putty-client. But I still can't write the swedish letters, they end up as ??, ?? and ??. [12:55] glaucous: hdparm is not a daemon. [12:55] erUSUL: Oh I see.. when reading about configuring hdparm.conf they recommended restarting hdparm with init.d [12:55] i am continuously getting a log-in message box when ever i am running firefox, persistently and a google search pointed that the particular port number is used by couchdb. the message is A username and password are being requested by http://localhost:33388. The site says: "administrator". any idea? [12:55] Zol, you can use ibus to write in your language? [12:56] abhijit: I can use the letters outside for weechat perfectly fine. [12:56] abhijit: I'm using terminal node btw. [12:56] Zol, no i dont kow. [12:56] glaucous: hdparm is run once when the system boots. but it does not keep running after that [12:57] erUSUL: Okay, got it [12:57] glaucous: in modern systems hdparm should not be needed btw [12:57] mam problemy firefox nie otwiera stron... [12:57] erUSUL: How come? What I want is to modify the spindown time [12:58] does anyone use PulseAudio with HDMI cables? [12:58] glaucous: many things that where configurable in the old ide drivers are no longer configurabble in sata/libata. [12:58] I can see my samba shares in smb://mycompname/ in nautilus, but when I try to open one I get a "Unable to mount location -- failed to mount windows share" error [12:58] glaucous: maybe spindown time is still something you can tweak dunno for sure [12:59] erUSUL: I see. Tweaking spindown time is working very well though [12:59] jest ktos z Polski [12:59] flupke: try entering the full path to the share. smb://server/sharename [13:00] Dr_Willis, it gives the same error ; here is the share definition in smb.conf: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/253100/ [13:00] dont use smb, use ssh to share file [13:00] it more eficient [13:01] yud1z, ssh doesn't work everywhere (e.g. in xmbc) [13:02] xmbc??? [13:02] what it like? [13:02] it's a media player [13:02] xmbc is what Boxee is based on [13:02] a full multimedia environment [13:02] i have another question i installed docky and deleted the bottom panel in gnome, i like docky but want the panel back, where it shows the open apps i have running, [13:03] hi ppl [13:03] flupke: i come back. i delete the "quiet splash" and i write "nosplash" it works. but it did not worked with "quiet nosplash" . so what is "quiete" on the boot ? [13:04] meli_sha: quiet makes the kernel not writte the full dmesg when booting [13:04] meli_sha, quiet means don't write the log on screen [13:04] question: will be get brtfs in the next version [13:04] flupke: on the screen ? i never had saw any log on my screen ... ?! [13:05] meli_sha, yes, because "quiet" is the default [13:05] erUSUL: so it is not importnat at least for me.. [13:05] meli_sha, you can try logging on screen to see what happens when the boot fails [13:05] flupke: ah to do not log. ok im sorry. i get as "to log". [13:06] !panelreset [13:06] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [13:06] Arthur___: ^ [13:06] flupke: ok thank you! i have to leave..

[13:09] linkin13, the sysinfo [13:09] sysinfo [13:10] anyone could share a working smb.conf ? [13:10] flupke: sure [13:11] flupke: does this work: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/smb.conf?w=f7c0910e [13:11] flupke: if not, this will: http://pastie.org/1107640 [13:12] hmm my gnome panel crashes randomly..... I have to do alt + printscreen + k and log back in to get it back...... [13:12] liamsmithuk: try the panelfix command above to make it vanilla [13:13] ActionParsnip, thanks [13:13] got a question on ubuntu dual boot install w/ W7. After installing ubuntu on an ATA drive sdb, asked it to write the mbr info on SATA0, sda1, ubuntu loads fine from grub, however W7 didn't boot anymore, i tried grub-update and then lilo, (the latter never installed, mentioned wrong partition or smth like that, i went to W7 recovery and did fixmbr. now W7 is up, how do i restore linux? I had [13:13] previous versions installed this time this is a new setup (evga X58 mobo) and i had to choose advanced partitioning during install as linux install didn't offer to install on the IDE drive.. [13:13] tharaweh fisrt [13:13] flupke: did the first one work? [13:14] john_dop: try running: sudo update-grub [13:14] taraweh oi [13:14] ActionParsnip, no, I get a 403 saying I have to log in, even though I'm logged in [13:14] Parsnip: thanks, i did try that, i\m afraid i don't have access anymore to linux [13:15] I tried installing 32bit itunes under 64bit ubuntu using WINE, but it tells me the installation failed, ive tried various times, and same result, anyone run into this problem? [13:15] flupke: damn, trying dropbox links. oh well. Great way to backup my config :) [13:15] phawx: only some versions of itunes work with some versions of wine [13:15] forgot yo mention, using 64bit version of both W7 and linux [13:15] phawx: check the appdb [13:16] phawx, i have never run into this problem [13:16] Im running Wine 1.2 [13:16] phawx: i'd go for rhythmnbox instead [13:16] can you sync apps with rythmbox? [13:16] phawx: 1.2 doiesnt mean much, itunes may run better under 1.1 [13:17] phawx: no idea, i dont use apples garbage [13:17] ActionParsnip, you're not supposed to directly abuse apple lol [13:17] phawx: no but why would you need to, use the app store on your phone or ipod ;) [13:17] airtonix: but its SO easy [13:17] restrain yourself young one [13:18] ActionParsnip, can't access my shares from nautilus with your config... I wonder what's wrong this is a fresh lucid install [13:18] i'm 30 ;) [13:18] still young then [13:18] flupke: with my config you need to use the command: sudo smbpasswd -a name replace name with your username (all on the server). You will need to remove mine and my girlfriends names and use your own [13:19] liamsmithuk: feel 20, so yep [13:19] is ther a reset sound in the console? [13:20] help people [13:20] ugliefrog: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* then rerun the pulseaudio again in an ALT+F2 dialogue [13:20] ugliefrog: or if you dont have a gui, start the service [13:21] ActionParsnip, ty ..ill try it now [13:21] ActionParsnip, girlfriendS :) ah forgot about smbpasswd... now I can login on non-guest ok shares, but still no luck on guest ok ones [13:21] ActionParsnip, ty sir...that did the trick [13:22] flupke: i've never used guest stuff. i like the control, see how the shares have allowed users and such, its good [13:24] os[Linux 2.6.32-24-generic x86_64] distro[Ubuntu "lucid" 10.04] cpu[4 x AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor (AuthenticAMD) @ 3.41GHz] mem[Physical: 5.8GB, 80.2% free] disk[Total: 929.1GB, 98.6% free] video[nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce GTS 250]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB] [13:24] hoho [13:24] SORRY [13:24] sorry* [13:24] linkin13: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:24] hi. how do i find the wireless connections on ubuntu 10.04? [13:24] i test the commans of xsys plugin [13:24] linkin13: if you /msg ubottu se'll listen to all your pointless scripts and never bored [13:25] ok [13:27] hi [13:28] hi [13:29] MySQL Error Nr. 2013 [13:29] Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 104 17:56 [13:29] pl help [13:30] VP: have you asked in #sql too [13:31] ActionParsnip: Ya bcause nobady is replying [13:31] I have a question if someone in able to answer [13:31] ActionParsnip: Actually I've asked in #mysql [13:31] Hi [13:31] !ask | Pseudoremora [13:31] Pseudoremora: 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. :-) [13:32] I shall. [13:32] My question: Is there a way to change the default window's position to always show in the Middle? [13:32] Pseudoremora: what default window? [13:33] hi, the folder var/www is not mine (it's roots) but i want to use a group (with me included) to have read write acces. then i set the permissions on the folder var/www but i still don't have write acces [13:33] how comes? [13:33] Meaning, anything I try to open should always open in the middle of my screen, not to left or the right or upper right/upper left [13:33] Pseudoremora: not sure about gnome/metacity bit its definitely possible, you can do so in openbox [13:33] Pseudoremora: that would be annoying.. but compiz has some plugins that can proberly do it. [13:33] Dr_Willis: Why would that be annoying? [13:34] Pseudoremora: dialogs popin up over your video and text editing stuff and otehr annoyances.. [13:34] open 2 file manager windows.. and then ya have to move them to actually use both... [13:34] I dont see the point. :) [13:35] ding dong [13:35] Dr_Willis: That's something I'm happy to deal with, what I hate more is the fact that if I even open more than 2+ applications/windows, they're not in the same position, but rather all over my screen [13:35] It's annoying, because I'm going to move them to them middle anyways [13:35] compiz and othe rwindow managers have 'placement' settings for that stuff [13:35] I see [13:35] so basicallyt you dont use 1/2 of your monitor? [13:36] :) [13:36] Compiz has some very fancy plugins for controlling window size and placement. [13:36] Well, the snap in plugin for Ubuntu isn't even as great as Windows 7 [13:36] So even after enabling it, it's not very useful [13:37] Pseudoremora: you can run devilspie to manage where windows open [13:37] I tend to fullscreen most everything these days.. or keep stuff on the 2nd monitor. [13:37] I definitely use my entire screen (24" monitor), but I like my windows to always show in the middle that's all [13:37] Oh now Pseudoremora said Windows & how do u see the Microsoft's future? [13:37] devilspie would be more windowmanager agnostic. :) [13:37] I've seen and a relative video in youtube with the hitles etc [13:37] it'd work though [13:37] posted in ubuntu-gr [13:37] a humoristic one [13:38] maximus can open them always maxamized if you like that Pseudoremora thats in the middle. [13:38] ActionParsnip: Devilspie, is that something I can get via package manager? [13:38] G'day all [13:38] !info devilspie [13:38] devilspie (source: devilspie): find windows and perform actions on them. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.22-1 (lucid), package size 28 kB, installed size 128 kB [13:38] Dr_Willis: lol, no I don't want them always maximized [13:38] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s3OVZJY2I0&feature=player_embedded#at=44 [13:38] germans and humor? aren't they mutally exclusive? [13:39] pc_magas: lol, the hilter spoofs are always hilarious [13:39] * Dr_Willis recalls teh Gnome file manager browser vs Modal Mode :) [13:39] Pseudoremora: well the HDD management, RAM management and RAM footprint of Linux is much better than Windows,I'd say the windows placement is quite trivial compared to the advantages in Linux with general system management and performance [13:39] But it made me wonder hos ms going [13:39] Guy [13:39] Pseudoremora: yes it's there, it'll take some confi and such but it can be thing [13:39] Guys* [13:39] can anyone tell me an easy command line way of telling the parent of a given process? [13:39] Yeah i Agree I am a linux fan [13:39] Pseudoremora: if you keep comments on the target rather than "windows blah blah" you'll get better support [13:39] I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and through Synaptic Package Manager I was [13:39] installing phpmyadmin and mysql server for installing Joomla CMS. [13:39] because it can be customized to the max [13:39] After completion of the downloading, the GUI for setting up the [13:40] PHPMYADMIN password started. But even after filling the username and [13:40] Listen, I'm not degrading Ubuntu, I use it more than I use Windows... however the Snap to feature in Windows is far greater, that's a fact. [13:40] VP: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:40] password, the GUI was taking me to the screen of entering the password [13:40] pseudomorph: you may want to explore /proc/ it has info on each process in a 'file' (or files) it may have that info [13:40] again and again. The tooltip reported the as the MySql database is not [13:40] thanks Dr_Willis [13:40] does anyone know how to mount .vcd files? I'm trying to install a game and I'd rather not burn them all first [13:40] Pseudoremora: maybe but it is significantly outweighed by the benefits of linux [13:40] a game on a vcd - thats odd.. I hought vcd was a 'video cd' from ages back. [13:41] ActionParsnip: Agreed. I only use Windows to game (STEAM and latest version of Adobe products) Otherwise, Linux is what I use on a daily basis for both home/work [13:41] dekushrub: proverly fuseiso or fuseiso9660 can mount them. [13:41] Pseudoremora: and steam for linux is in the works i hear. :) *yes* [13:41] thanks Dr_Willis, I'll look into that [13:41] Pseudoremora: there are open solutions to adobe products. Steam is coming to linux soon [13:41] steam is evil [13:41] ActionParsnip: I'd love ubuntu to take over Windows, but let's face it everyone has been brainwashed into using Windows already... it's too late :( [13:41] Dr_Willis: Yea, i've heard as well... I'm hoping it's released soon... once it does, I'll dump Windows altogether [13:42] hi [13:42] liamsmithuk: i see it as a tool for a job, both have advantages and disadvantages [13:42] I perfer to buy gamed on steam then to buy dvd/cd that have annoying DRM. [13:42] Dr_Willis, after I install the packages, what do I do? [13:42] ActionParsnip: Open solutions... Gimp isn't as intuitive as PS [13:42] But think about it s comy many technologies from Linux [13:42] can anyone help me with shared library libssl error? [13:42] Like a meny for all connections [13:42] dekushrub: read its docs? and man pages.. and fuseiso --help [13:42] Pseudoremora: only becuase your adobe experience is so ingrained [13:43] ActionParsnip: True [13:43] i've posted the thread in ubuntu forums in General Help [13:43] ActionParsnip: That's my problem, but still I don't want to have to learn another new imaging program... when the one I'm using is the defacto standard [13:43] Pseudoremora: its not the defacto standard at all [13:44] ActionParsnip: Says who [13:44] Gimp is my standard. :) [13:44] Dr_Willis: Yea... for Linux [13:44] and the old Amiga's Deluxe Paint. [13:44] I was so good with that one. [13:44] Pseudoremora: do you know what that even means? [13:45] ...what? [13:45] 'standards are great - thers so many to choose from' [13:45] ActionParsnip: product, or system that has achieved a dominant position by public acceptance or market forces [13:45] is there a Posix standard for Image editors? [13:45] Pseudoremora: just because its used a lot doesn't make it defacto [13:46] pseudomorph: category5.tv has episodes on using the gimp for image editing, you might find them to your liking [13:46] ActionParsnip: I dare you to ask your friends which ones they're more familiar with, Gimp or PS... [13:46] Actually, ask ANYONE [13:46] Newa: thers also webcasts of 'using the gimp' i recall :) [13:46] Pseudoremora: mine are all more faimlier with Gimp. [13:46] Excuse me... not familiar, but which one they know [13:46] Dr_Willis: yes, there's a dedicated webshow for that. It's good for advanced stuff when you know the basic usage [13:47] Pseudoremora: they use non, I dont know any graphical editors. just because PS is more used doesn't make it defacto at all [13:47] * Dr_Willis waits for the OT police. [13:47] Hello [13:47] ActionParsnip: You can share that opinion, and I'll share mine. [13:47] Newa: yea. some tools it takes a little video to figure out what they are actually for. :) [13:47] How do I reinstall apache2 with the default settings? [13:47] lolcat93: remove it with the purge option and reinstall [13:47] Dr_Willis: apt-get -purge apache2? [13:48] purge will remove customized configs right? or can it tell they have been edited? ive never noticed.. [13:48] help somebody! [13:48] any idea how to install google earth on lucid lynx?? [13:48] is there a guide for installing ubuntu on an ssd? [13:48] Dr_Willis: Yes [13:48] i'm getting libssl error [13:48] iyoet: ive seen it in the medibuntu ppa's i recall.. or you can download it from google [13:48] !details | muneeb [13:48] muneeb: 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 ..." [13:48] i previously tried to unstall google earth on my lucid lynx... ut seems there;s a bug in it [13:48] Pseudoremora: its not an opinion, defacto has latin roots for "fact", "Although his title was prime minister, hewas de facto president of the country" PS is a graphical package but MILLIONS of users use Gimp so making PS not defacto. It's not a fact at all [13:49] I'm getting this error [13:49] ifyconnect: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:49] @Dr Willis: my previous lucid lynx crashed after i followed the isntruction using medibuntu repo [13:49] I have already installed openssl [13:50] and linked them [13:50] this is a new installation [13:50] !find libssl [13:50] Found: libssl-dev, libssl0.9.8, libssl0.9.8-dbg, libcherokee-mod-libssl, libssl-ocaml (and 1 others) [13:50] muneeb, try sudo apt-get install libssl-dev [13:50] iyoet: that would be odd.. medibuntu is proberly one of the most used 3rd party repos out there. [13:50] is it good to run apt-get clean sometimes? or bad? [13:50] iyoet: and google earth shouldent crash the whole system either. [13:50] i have already installed @coz_ [13:50] muneeb, oooo ok [13:51] oliver_: It won't do anything bad. [13:51] ActionParsnip: Really? We're still at this? Honestly, If you were to ask most people which one they have played with or used, Photoshop would come up 8/10 times (probably all 10 actually, but whatever). Since the majority of people run either Windows, Photoshop would be easily one of the most recommended programs that people would use to edit images. That's a given. A sales person isn't going to mention Gimp, not unless they're tech [13:51] Illuminatus: yes [13:51] oliver_: yes [13:51] oliver_: it is good. it cleans out all the .deb [13:51] @Dr Willis, yeahh.. it shouldn't be [13:51] oliver_: all the .debs your package manager has downloaded and installed [13:51] but that's what i experienced [13:51] iyoet: could of been due to somthing else..its hard to prove one way or the other [13:51] bastid_raZor: like .exe files in windows? [13:52] in Karmic Koala, google earth works just fine, not like in Lcid Lynx [13:52] can i set a 'master password' on my gnome password manager/wallet? perhaps one that times out every half an hour or so [13:52] what should i do now @coz_ [13:52] oliver_: at worst, if you clean out some .debs that apt will need later, it'll just redownload them. [13:52] muneeb, not sure... checking hold on [13:52] I'm using 64 bit ver [13:52] oliver_: no, .exe files are executables. and .deb files are installation files [13:53] Fireing up google earth. - not used it in ages [13:53] Chousuke: so it cannot happen any bad things? [13:53] .sh = .exe for Linux [13:53] @Dr Willis: is there any screencast about google earth installation in lucid lynx??? [13:53] oliver_: right. [13:53] if u want details i have posted logs on Ubuntu Forums->General Help [13:53] bastid_raZor: alright thx :) [13:53] How to hide a folder while writing it to DVD i ubuntu? [13:53] oliver_: it just clears the download cache, nothing else. [13:53] @Dr Willis: i've googled it since week ago.. but haven't found any screencast yet [13:53] iyoet: i just enable the ppa, and sudo apt-get install it.. or download it from google and follow their directions. (run the .bin i recall) not much to installing it [13:53] oliver_: frees a bit of disk space [13:54] oliver_: i normally run apt-get clean once a week. [13:54] I dont see why it needs a video tutorial :) [13:54] I just updated my kubuntu 10.04 system with some security updates but my system doesn't boot up properly [13:54] How to hide a folder while writing it to DVD in ubuntu? [13:54] It says: XsSession: can't write to /tmp [13:54] It says: XSession: can't write to /tmp [13:54] @Dr Willis: What ubuntu version r u using now?? [13:54] Chousuke: alright, but why ubuntu saves these files? [13:54] muneeb, try gksudo ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so /usr/lib/libssl.so.4 enter your pasword and then try the program again [13:55] Description:Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [13:55] bastid_raZor: ok, thx :) [13:55] oliver_: sometimes the installation might get aborted or you might need the package files again for other reasons [13:55] then another error occurs about "can't load /some/path/theme/oxygen [13:55] How to hide a folder while writing it to DVD in ubuntu??? [13:55] oliver_: so they're cached to avoid having to redownload everything. [13:55] then command prompt appears [13:55] Ok, i'll try to install it again [13:55] ok i'll try but i have already linked them from cli [13:55] terry: hide it from whom? [13:55] but I am able to log in with sudo startx [13:55] Are you guys spamming the same question? [13:55] hmmm [13:55] Chousuke: ok, thx :) [13:55] yeah. you only need to download me once [13:55] from genal viewing!! [13:55] terry: you mean like a dot folder? [13:55] How can I solv this ? [13:55] Pseudoremora: me ? [13:56] I mean hidden folders as in windows!! [13:56] !googleearth [13:56] Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [13:56] abc_: no, after you asked, someone else asked the same thing [13:56] Hello i have 2 screens and an nvidia card.Monitors are in twinview. When i now maximize a window it gets streched over 2 screens ,how can i set it that it only gets maximized over 1 screen but i can still move windows from one screen to another? [13:56] Pseudoremora: ok, so is there a solution ? [13:56] hi [13:56] terry: i dont recall windows ever actually hideing folders... If your permissions on home are set right (or on the directory) other users cant access it or see its files. [13:57] abc_: Well... so you want to hide a folder from the get go before writing it to a DVD? [13:57] from the questions i've seen asked in other generic *nix irc channels, all the other *nix distros should just stop generating new versions and bow to ubuntu as the winner and king of all distros.. [13:57] amokpaule: after enabling twinview. did you restart the X server? [13:57] how can i make a vertical bar, an arobase an other special characters with an apple metal keyboard? i put it in gnome options, but it doesn't work [13:57] amokpaule: or did you just hit 'apply' ? [13:57] Pseudoremora: no [13:57] Dr_Willis: yes i did [13:57] @Dr Willis: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/medibuntu-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [13:57] muneeb, ok if that doesnt work and no one else here has any suggestions ... try the ##linux channel [13:58] Pseudoremora: myquestion says that I am not able to boot in kubuntu 10.04 after I updated some security updates to ot [13:58] any other ppa repo?? [13:58] Dr_Willis: rebooted aswell i mean [13:58] itsux2bu: Ubuntu would suffer if Debian didn't exist :P [13:58] Can windows play the dvd I have written in ubuntu??? [13:58] ok @coz_ [13:58] amokpaule: i always enable it, then exit, and sudo service gdm restart.. double check that you saved the settings to the xorg.conf perhaps. [13:58] abc_: Hmm... was this just a while ago? [13:58] terry: if its a normal video dvd.. yes it should be able to [13:59] Pseudoremora: yes [13:59] Why what do u mean by normal? [13:59] Dr_Willis: can you pat me your xorg.conf maybe? then i can chekc if i see any diffences to mine. [13:59] *paste [13:59] Pseudoremora: not the update but the question. I updated a day before yesterday [13:59] Pseudoremora: since then it says: XSession: can't write to /tmp [14:00] abc_: And after updating, you're unable to boot your system? [14:00] Why what do u mean by normal?Dr_Willis? [14:00] terry: how did you make it? [14:00] Pseudoremora: yes, it logs in to the shell(black screen) [14:00] i am continuously getting a log-in message box when ever i am running firefox, persistently and a google search pointed that the particular port number is used by couchdb. the message is A username and password are being requested by http://localhost:33388. The site says: "administrator". any idea? [14:00] Pseudoremora: but I can login using sudo startx [14:00] tarrant: normal as in made for dvd players.. perhaps.. [14:00] abc_: Gotcha [14:00] from cd/dvd creator in accessories! [14:00] Chousuke, well ok debian can be allowed to exist.. or distros ubuntu is dependant on.. [14:01] terry: so you made a 'data' dvd ? windoss should be able to read the data on it. [14:01] Pseudoremora: ? [14:01] abc_: Seems to me, GDM is corrupted or broken via the update you did last [14:01] abc_: Yes? [14:01] amokpaule: heres my xorg.conf. Not sure if its got twinview on or off -> http://pastebin.com/pc69EkgP [14:01] hello [14:01] Pseudoremora: solution ? [14:01] can someone help me ? [14:01] Dr_Willis: ty [14:01] abc_: Let me check something out [14:01] But how to hide some sensitive dsta? [14:02] !sw [14:02] data* [14:02] terry: theres vaious fuse encryption tools out there. or encrypt your whole home. [14:02] abc_: In the mean time.. try relogging in and do this:: * /etc/init.d/gdm restart* [14:02] (without *) [14:02] Pseudoremora: ok [14:02] 'sudo service gdm restart' may be more proper. :) [14:03] abc_: Also, do this:: sudo apt-get clean [14:03] like what tools? [14:03] !fuse [14:03] How do I get the NetworkManager icon on the top-right of my screen? Or: what is the name of the GUI application that provides this? [14:03] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [14:03] fasta: nm-applet [14:03] fasta, nm-applet [14:03] bastid_raZor, you were fasta [14:03] Pseudoremora: just for reference, I get this error after Xsession one...Cannot open theme file /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/oxygen-air [14:03] denysonique: heh [14:04] hello i need some help [14:04] abc_: Oh shoot... you're using KDE -- okay [14:04] i am tottal newbie in linux but i`m interested to learn it [14:04] bastid_raZor: ok, it appears that I do have that application, but for some reason it didn't start up at boot, which is the default, IIRC. [14:04] !manual | hunter86_bg [14:04] hunter86_bg: just ask [14:04] hunter86_bg: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [14:04] Pseudoremora: yes, kubuntu 10.04 [14:04] abc_: instead of gdm -- use kde [14:04] i don`t need the manual [14:04] i got an error while i install the ubuntu [14:05] abc_: he means kdm [14:05] via the windows installer [14:05] fasta: there is normally a reason why it hasn't started. one being you installed WICD? [14:05] abc_: the command you should type is this::: /etc/init.d/kdm restart [14:05] fasta: you could look ~/.xsession-errors for reasons too. [14:05] hunter86_bg: more details ? [14:05] hunter86_bg: my advice - dont use the windows/wubi thing. [14:06] hunter86_bg: i dont use wubi. so cant help with it. [14:06] bastid_raZor: this is just a normal x86-64 Lucid installation. [14:06] well i got no CD/DVD working [14:06] i can`t boot via USB [14:06] this is the only way to install it ,right ? [14:06] hunter86_bg: I would say test it out in virtualbox. [14:06] I really really hate wubi. :) [14:06] hunter86_bg: you can mount iso in virtual clone drive [14:06] well i know what linux is [14:06] hunter86_bg: but dualboot is nicer, in my eyes, too [14:06] abc_: Also, for the other command... reboot into RECOVERY and type:: sudo apt-get clean [14:07] that`s my idea [14:07] dualboot [14:07] I would move the HD to a differnt machine to do an install - instead of using wubi. :) [14:07] but i can`t boot from CD [14:07] yeah dualbooting is much cleaner and in the long run better, even if you have to restore mbr [14:07] ..nor from usb, hmm [14:07] no other machine is available [14:07] bastid_raZor: http://paste.debian.net/84971/ [14:07] my laptop is old [14:07] I have a bit of a bizarre problem, I set up Ubuntu on my mum's laptop (I'm an Arch user) Network manager connects to our wireless network fine, we have signal and it all appears to be working. But there's no internet connection. I can't ping anything or open any webpages. Any ideas where to start looking? [14:07] bastid_raZor: this is the contents of .xsession-errors [14:07] Pseudoremora: did second commnad. First command says: Usage: /etc/init.d/kdm COMMAND [14:07] hunter86_bg: You should check that your bios is set to boot the CD FIRST [14:07] hunter86_bg: no way to hook the hd to working box ? [14:07] Bonner: gateway and dns server setting. [14:08] Pseudoremora: sudo startc logs me in as root [14:08] bastid_raZor: it does contain a bunch of things related to nm-applet, but I don't really see how someone could have broken such functionality.

[14:18] it** [14:18] hunter86_bg: I recommend you get a usb drive that you can boot off of. You will be glad you have it if anything goes wrong [14:19] hunter86_bg, forget wubi. back up all your important file to an external media and use unetbootin to install linux to your d drive [14:19] adi_ph: file_roller IS the front-end! [14:19] MTK358, where is it located? [14:19] itai_michaleson -yes i used wibi for installing ubuntu under windows [14:19] hi all see this i cant delete anything in my flash pen drive 4 GB http://pastebin.com/BcwMLyzv [14:20] adi_ph: file-roller is a GUI application that actually uses command-line tools "behind the scenes" to do the work. [14:20] Juniksz: http://linuxxu.com/sms-gateway-with-ubuntu-9-10.htm maybe [14:20] hunter86_bg, forget wubi...first try a USB install, if that doesnt work look for unetbootin (a software that runs on windows ,creates a cleaner install than wubi) but USB is your first option [14:20] MTK358, :( [14:20] MTK358, btw thanks for the info. [14:20] how to change the readonly file system [14:20] ActionParsnip, i'll see, thanks === ubuntu is now known as nilsma [14:21] maybe your pendrive has a switch just like memory cards SD [14:21] itai_michaelson please give step by step guide- I guess i have to download the CD image, then to somehow copy it to my USB [14:21] there is a problem with network-manager, when ever i connect my usb mobile broadband connection... it gets connected for a while and then quickly get disconnected.. any specific way to resolve it? [14:21] adi_ph: so file-roller is the front-end while the command line tools like tar, zip, unzip, gz, etc. are the back-ends. [14:21] is there a way to change the gdm login screen for 10.04? [14:21] MTK358, yah got it. [14:21] hunter86_bg, i will google a tutorial for you [14:21] sh4d3sl4y3r_, install gdm2setup [14:22] adi_ph: affirmative [14:22] martinex: no it doesnt have. it happene because i pluged into one windows system [14:22] sh4d3sl4y3r_, hmm??? [14:22] hunter86_bg: did you MD5 test the file you downloaded? [14:22] adi_ph: where are you from? [14:22] on windows can you save in this pen? [14:22] sh4d3sl4y3r_, are you shadslayer?

[14:25] !gnome | itsux2bu [14:25] itsux2bu: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [14:25] adi_ph: there is no gdm-setup in the repositories [14:25] sh4d3sl4y3r_, yes there is no. you need to take it from their launchpad site [14:26] hunter86_bg, if your laptop can run win7 then it can run ubuntu , i suppose... [14:26] no now i cant do anything in any OS [14:26] can i handle radio streaming with mplayer, everyone... any pointer? [14:26] itai_michaelson the problem is that it CAN`T boot from USB and my CD/DVD Drive has fialed [14:26] hunter86_bg, ok , in that case - go for unetbooti [14:27] is it possible just to copy the files and install some program to create a dualboot ? [14:27] Will my Radeon x1600 work in Lucid with the proprietary drivers? I have been held in Ubuntu Hardy with the ATI drivers 9.3 because they wouldn't support recent versions of X.Org... Help appreciated!! I'm afraid of pressing the button "partial upgrade" in my Synaptic window... (macbuntu0) [14:27] hunter86_bg, that program is called unetbootin [14:27] hunter86_bg <<- itsux2bu === toby is now known as Guest50830 [14:27] well i will search the program and what i can do with it [14:28] hunter86_bg, before you do anything - make usre you understand linux partitions and back up all your files === Guest50830 is now known as cookie [14:28] and BIOS of your motherboard must be supported booting from USB drive [14:28] old MB can't load from USB drives [14:28] muneeb: sry,had to clean my desk so couldn't answer , you installed openssl, what went wromg ? [14:28] NO USB BOOT IS SUPPORTED! [14:28] i said it 15 times [14:28] srry for the caps [14:29] hunter86_bg: but a second hd is supported by that lap as you said d: drive ?? [14:29] DasEi, everything went well... but dont know application is unable to detect those [14:29] hunter86_bg, look for a tutorial on dual booting, once unetbootin is installed , you reboot the computer and a menu apperas , this menu allows you to start an installation similar to installing from CD except it will download everything from the internet, you will need to understand how to dual boot, make sure you dont erase your windows partition! [14:29] hunter86_bg, no cd-rom drive, no bootable usb, no other pc to do netinstall, i do not have a solution [14:29] muneeb: link to the forum or whole story here ? [14:30] Howdy [14:30] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1558425 [14:30] Oer, unetbootin is the solution [14:30] well if it wasn`t so bad i wouldnt join the #ubuntu [14:30] muneeb: reading it .. [14:30] ok [14:30] itai_michaelson, read : he cannot boot from usb [14:31] Oer, he doesnt need to [14:31] Oer, unetbootin is a little like wubi except is creates its own partition [14:31] I just need to copy all files from the cd to the drive and create some solution to force my PC to dualboot [14:32] itai_michaelson, his hardware must be able, wich is not. [14:32] muneeb: what is sifyconnect ? idk such paket [14:32] Oer, must be able to do what ? [14:32] any good open-source quest games? [14:32] it's my internet dialer [14:32] Strashniq, what are you trying to do? [14:32] ok ,Distribution set to Kubuntu ,what version to pick ? [14:33] its me -hunter86_bg [14:33] tarv: like 'battle of wesnoth' ? [14:33] Will my ATI Radeon x1600 work in Lucid with the proprietary drivers? I have been held in Ubuntu Hardy with the ATI drivers 9.3 because they wouldn't support recent versions of X.Org...Or do the open source drivers support 3D acceleration and dual monitors...? Help appreciated!! I'm afraid of pressing the button "partial upgrade" in my Synaptic window and ending up with the graphics screwed.. (macbuntu0) [14:33] StrangeCharm, are you using unetbootin now? [14:33] bastid_razor, i'll try that one. any others? [14:33] macbuntu0: I thought that the drivers got updated [14:33] tarv: right off, that is all i can think of. [14:34] ChogyDan: u mean the prop or the open? [14:34] thanks [14:34] Strashniq, are you using unetbooting now? (you chose a difficult name) [14:34] itai_michaelson Its me hunter86_bg , [14:34] yeah i have to set the version [14:34] muneeb: no idea of it, do you connect via a modem , then username and password ? [14:34] DasEi, it was working on 32 bit os but now on 64 bit its not working [14:34] tarv: if you look in the software center it will catagorize games [14:34] macbuntu0: I don't know. I just thought in general the drivers were late to update, but would make it before release [14:34] bastid_razor, ok thanks. i'll have a look. [14:34] it's not modem [14:35] itai_michaelson should i pick the NetInstall ? [14:35] ChogyDan: do you have enay idea where I could find that info? [14:35] Strashniq, i cant help you here cause i dont use kubuntu, just go for the latest version, yes net install [14:35] DasEi, it's PPPoE connection [14:35] macbuntu0: btw, a partial upgrade should not upgrade you to a later version. It should just install new packages, like kernel updates [14:35] !notes | macbuntu0 [14:35] macbuntu0: Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [14:35] muneeb: right, so a modem-like... does ifconfig show your eth0 ? [14:35] itai_michaelson should i choose Hard Disk type ? [14:36] Strashniq, make sure you know how to part the disc BEFORE you start the installation [14:36] DasEi, yep [14:36] Strashniq, yes hard disc [14:36] ChogyDan: so u think my graphics will stay just the same after the partial upgrade? [14:36] muneeb: try without that dialer, sudo pppoeconf [14:36] itai_michaelson well i plan to make it dualboot -its NTFS for now [14:36] macbuntu0: ya, but you can check for sure by using the command line: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:37] i tried already but it doesnt work [14:37] Strashniq, if you lose windows your and the install goes wrong your computer will be useless [14:37] DasEi, they told me to use their client [14:37] muneeb: did you compile that driver from source again ? [14:37] alright, thank you, I'll have a look at the release notes too [14:37] itai_michaelson so we have to do it the right way ... [14:37] Strashniq, listen ,when you get to the partition part - choose "manual" [14:38] DasEi, it's just a binary file [14:38] DasEi, cant compile it [14:38] itai_michaelson how much space do i need to install the ubuntu ? [14:38] muneeb: what do you get in pppoeconf ? [14:39] Strashniq, listen very carefully - when you get to the partition option do not choose any "resize " option. understand? [14:39] 大家好 [14:39] itai_michaelson i`m still making space for the drive - how much space i should have ? [14:39] !cn | deng [14:39] deng: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:39] Strashniq, once the install start , i cant help you, how many partitions do you have ? how big are they? [14:40] bjr [14:40] DasEi, idk the exact error but i read about ISP that they use My MAC and Static IP to encypt the traffic thro' their dialer [14:40] deng 这里没人会中文 === patrick is now known as Guest30080 [14:40] itai_michaelson C:-20 gig D: 20 gig E: 10-15 gig [14:40] muneeb: which ppoeconf wouldn't alter [14:41] ha [14:41] DasEi, i'll tell u the error if u want in about 2 min [14:41] Strashniq, i would go for the 20 gig D partition, remember that linux names them differently, do you know if C is the first partition on the disc? [14:41] bastid-razor, do you know of any game like 'myst' for linux? [14:41] pas de bluetooth sur xubuntu ? [14:41] muneeb: sorry, can't help there as it seems to be a provider-specific app, you can try to install the 32 bit variant by getlibs [14:41] !getlibs [14:42] do i need bluez to run bluetooth?? [14:42] itai_michaelson C: is the main , D: is encrypted ,won`t be accessible without the program i use [14:42] do i really need it?

[14:42] DasEi, ok no prob btw thanx for giving time [14:42] DasEi, i think a getlibs factoid would be a good idea [14:43] muneeb: http://explore-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2010/04/getlibs.html [14:43] ok, i'll check that stuff out. thanks. [14:43] ZykoticK9: I will suggest [14:43] 没人会中文啊？goodbye啦！ [14:43] Strashniq, E will be fine then , remeber that linux names them differently, when you start installing linux there will no more C. D and E, they will appear as HDA1, HDA2 HDA3 or SDA1 SDA2 or other combinations depending on how many discs you have [14:44] won`t it be sda0 ?

[14:54] check if you see that 2nd drive [14:54] ZykoticK9, Tested on geforce 6200 and gtx 460 [14:54] you may need to type dmesg | more to see the whole output [14:55] helloer, for the geforce install nvidia driver perhaps. Is the gtx460 an ATI card? [14:55] nvidia [14:56] helloer, System / Admin / Hardware Drivers - install the recommended nvidia driver then... [14:56] hey everyone [14:56] Hi, I use Gnome.

[14:57] i guess so [14:58] bryan_R59, what does gvidcap do? if it's screencast software perhaps gtk-recordmydesktop would work? [14:59] I am developing a device, just for fun; a rubic cube saving your moves. I want to connect it to PC via USB cable, but I don't have any Idea about how to use USB port. Where can I get help?

[15:22] ZykoticK9, is FYI is a command?

[15:23] s/as/ask [15:23] yes, thanks [15:23] Anyone know of a decent proxy that allows load balancing, but also has support for squid for upstreams? [15:23] john_dop, i will go for another install, most probably a faulty media or bad sectors on the disc , if possible i would go with the alternate CD rather than 'desktop' CD [15:23] michaelson: however it seems to me like the system is not very stable, i got several restarts just too easy, even in windows [15:23] ZykoticK9, shall i expect command for reformatting from u... :( [15:23] Stevethepirate, as you didn't get an answer last time - you might want to ask in ##networking [15:23] raven, your other PC is it windows or ubuntu [15:24] siva, from me? no. [15:24] michaelson: what do u mean by alternate cd? [15:24] michaelson: btw, was using an usb live [15:24] ZykoticK9: ty, it's kinda late in the US right now so hoping some late night people might spot a post :) [15:24] TiK, how to reformat [15:24] am trying to install a swl-2300u netopia usb wireless card using http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/94685-wireless-lan-linux.html, i have ndiswrapper installed and loaded with modprobe, lsusb,dmesg and ndiswrapper -l all show the device, but iwconfig so no wireless extensions. i cant seem to find ne thing to get past this point, cany nebody point me in the right direction and/or help? [15:24] john_dop, when you download your Cd from ubuntu's website theree are several options , one is called alternate (teh default is 'desktop') [15:24] err.. 10.04LTS [15:25] ok, i was surely using desktop [15:25] ok, will try thaT, TY [15:25] where can i change $PATH for "sudo" prefixed commands? [15:25] Stevethepirate, ahh think your confused with what time(s) it is in North America - it's morning [15:25] john_dop, however i would suspect a hardware problem, maybe its bets to reinstall windows and go to the manufacturer [15:25] no matter what i try. XVidcap will not record my audio. :( [15:26] i just get weird noises [15:26] sinux its a linux server [15:26] ok [15:26] emacs_noob: dunno really but you might want to check /etc/sudoers. [15:26] michaelson: i see, i guess will stick then with w7 for a while and see how it behaves (it worked fine actually, until the dual boot moment) [15:27] ZykoticK9: oh sheesh. I'm in .za, haven't slept in 2 days, apology. [15:27] how can i know if my cpu is 64bit capable [15:27] does anybody here have any familiarity with Wake-On-LAN functionality? i've done all the steps listed in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234588 ... i've configured it in my BIOS, configured it using ethtool.. verified that the magic packet is being sent properly by using wireshark, but the computer does not turn on either from completely shut off or in suspend mode. any ideas? [15:27] ibrahim-kasem, cat /proc/cpuinfo [15:28] john_dop, thats probably the safest options, some manufacturers will give you a hard time if you install linux , the will refuse to accept the warranty [15:28] michaelson: but, what did you mean by alternate, in there there are a couple torrents alternatives for 10.04.1 [15:28] ibrahim-kasem: probably read /proc/cpuinfo. I guess address sizes is the relevant informatino. [15:28] john_dop, the alternate is a non-graphical install (a bit like XP's) [15:28] ZykoticK9, please see the out put http://pastebin.com/Nb9m3Vjx [15:28] !alternate | john_dop [15:28] john_dop: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[16:27] vegombrei: you might be able to get a satellite feed [16:28] slimjimflim: yep my tv is satellite based [16:28] maco: i want to change the setting of one page in calc. to print in landscape and the other in portrait but when i change one sheet to landscape all the sheets change to landscape and i dont want that [16:29] maco: and the same question for the scale i want one page to be scaled 50% when printing but the other page 100% [16:29] help! Q: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/481873/ ; not using any customizing of /etc/network/interfaces [16:30] piglit: :-/ dont think you can. will have to print just certain pages one way, then change the setting and print the other pages. sorry [16:31] i forget who just suggested that i disable one of the modules for the other sound card, but it worked [16:31] tyvm whoever you are [16:32] ZykoticK9: from what i read. its going to take some work to get to work 'well' - it may get backported.. but i would be spurised at that, [16:32] I'm having trouble getting JACK to recognize my FP10 in Ubuntu 10,4. Help? [16:33] !details | drumhead [16:33] drumhead: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [16:33] adminewb1, Is the gateway (the compuer with the point to point connection to the net) a dhcp server? [16:33] maco: i'll google some more then, it must be possible i think ..... [16:33] Dr_Willis, thanks for the input. After a little more googling, i'm just gonna wait... too much effort for not enough return. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:34] Getting error message: "firewire ERR: Error creating FFADO streaming device" when trying to start JACK using the "Firewire"/FFADO driver in Ubuntu 10.4 with FP10 [16:36] edbian, no, WinXP ICS (simpler than Linux if about as cantankerous) wouldn't allow dynamic IP address assignments. So on Linux I'm maintaining consistency in assigning the same static addresses. [16:36] ZykoticK9: the next big 'thang' :) that i proberly wont ever use. [16:37] adminewb1, Strange. Well in any event if the client are static than they determine their own dns. The default behavior is to ask the gateway which will usually forward requests. You can change that but you have to change it on each client individually. [16:37] Hi - can someone give me a command (presumably using rename) which removes the first 20 characters from a file name of all files in a folder? [16:38] ejcweb, I can give you a script but I don't think that can be done on one line. [16:38] ejcweb, It's short script though! [16:38] Problem trying to get JACK to start (Ubuntu 10.4, FP10, Firewire card), have installed libfreebob0, but am getting "jackd: unknown driver 'freebob'". I want JACKD to recognize the freebob driver. [16:38] edbian, correct, I'm expecting clients will either not specify any DNS or specify the same as the gateway, 192.168.0.1 [16:39] adminewb1, What are they doing? Did I mis-understand the problem. [16:39] edbian: Okay, that would be great. I was trying to use a regex to do it, but was failing... [16:39] ejcweb, That sounds like the hard way :) [16:39] drumhead, if you don't get an answer here, you might want to try in the #ubuntustudio channel, as I'd guess they may have more experience using jack. Best of luck man. [16:40] edbian, still my question is, how to get the gateway to pass DNS requests through and not fumble them somehow (appears to be firewall issue) [16:40] edbian, ejcweb: rename -n 's/.{20}//' * no? [16:40] ZykoticK9, thanks. [16:40] i use conky. but this code : ${downspeed eth0} is not working for wireles. can we add another clock for wireles and if possible for other connections types ? . thanks! [16:40] I want to block DVD RW AD-7560S in ubuntu lucid how to do that? [16:40] adminewb1, Ohhh! The gateway isn't passing DNS requests on? I think perhaps you need to set up a DNS server and configure it. Do you have one running already? [16:41] jrib, Well that was easy wasn't it. [16:41] jrib, I was gonna have to sit down and think about it. [16:41] My login sound stopped working somehow sometime. Settings seem ok. Any clue? [16:41] clps, eth0 is ethernet, perhaps you could change/test with wlan0 [16:41] ubuntu_lucid, Take it out of the computer :) [16:41] edbian, no DNS local server, I just want as dumb a proxy as possible === abhinavm is now known as abhinav [16:42] edbian: yeah, the hardest part is always remembering when to escape special characters in regex... so I had to go create a file real quick :P [16:42] adminewb1, I'm not an expert but I would install a dns server on the gateway. That's the only way I see how. There probably is already one running! [16:42] is there a way to speed up alt-tab when using metacity... [16:42] jrib, ha ha :) [16:43] ZykoticK9: wlan is not working. :( [16:43] edbian, in Firestarter, there's a "forward service" section in the policy tab; set that up with a rule for passing DNS traffic. It doesn't appear to do anything [16:43] clps, sorry don't know then. Good luck. [16:43] cant do that its laptop and i use dvd in win 7 [16:43] where's sun-java6-plugin package??? [16:44] it doesnt work in ubuntu [16:44] there is some issue with udev [16:44] RenatoSilva, partner repo [16:44] !java > RenatoSilva [16:44] so i would like to switch it off [16:44] RenatoSilva, please see my private message [16:44] ZykoticK9: thank you! [16:44] adminewb1, You probably have to make a rule to forward the DNS packets from wlan0 to eth0 and then from eth0 to your DNS server on the internet. [16:45] ejcweb, For future reference I found this: http://www.faqs.org/docs/abs/HTML/string-manipulation.html [16:46] adminewb1, Not really sure though. Never set up anything like that. [16:46] Jrib: thanks. It says the files are renamed, but I can't see any changed filenames in the folder? [16:46] edbian, the rule says to forward service DNS (port 53) to 192.168.30.1 (modem on eth0) same port [16:46] ejcweb: I always give rename commands with the -n :) Check what that does in "man rename" [16:46] c.abjects.net [16:46] come on people how to switch off DVD RW in lucid ? i want lucid not to see it the next time i boot up. how to do that ? [16:47] ZykoticK9: partner repository? can't see this on synaptic [16:47] when I statically configure a client to point DNS to that address, it works [16:47] !partner | RenatoSilva [16:47] RenatoSilva: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [16:47] adminewb1, Great. How does eth0 know what to do with that packet? Is there a DNS server running that listens on eth0? The packet gets there and the port is "closed" because there is no service listening for DNS requests on that interface. [16:47] edbian: neat, I wasn't aware of that syntax, it's like python! [16:47] jrib, It is :) [16:47] jrib, I LOVE python :) [16:47] edbian, yes the modem knows how to serve as DNS proxy [16:48] adminewb1, The modem? What is eth0? [16:48] What is the channel for getting opinions on software to use with Ubuntu? [16:48] i use conky. but this code : ${downspeed eth0} is not working for wireles. can we add another clock for wireles and if possible for other connections types ? . thanks! [16:48] RenatoSilva, if you want GUI steps see Blue Note at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/java [16:48] edbian eth0 is the ethernet point to point that talks to the modem [16:48] edbian: aww, not in zsh [16:49] clps: for wireless you would need the wirless interface.. most likely wlan0 [16:49] adminewb1: which is for wireles ? [16:49] edbian: ive had some laptosp where wireless is eth0, some where its wlan0, and even a few other odd ball names in teh past. [16:49] God, I jus want to know why the java plugin package disappeared and how to resotre it [16:49] bastid_raZor: i try it but is not working on conky :( [16:49] adminewb1, I think you're confused about internet traffic. Just because you forward some traffic from wlan0 to eth0 doesn't mean it will go to the modem. Like I said before. You're going to have to forward DNS packets from wlan0 to eth0 and then from eth0 to the IP of the DNS server on the net. [16:49] clps: try ifconfig and see what it says it is. [16:50] jrib, Too bad :( I didn't think it was bash specific! [16:50] Dr_Willis, You can name them yourself! :) [16:50] edbian, probably I didn't explain well [16:50] edbian: can i have EliteStuff0 ? :) [16:51] Dr_Willis: i try it. it is not working on conky. but eth0 works for my connection on desktop. but im on laptop now. [16:51] I compiled a program. If I run as my normal user it complains about it cant find a .so file, but it works if I am root. the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correct though, I cannot figure out why it is happening [16:51] Dr_Willis: i have to find for wireles ... [16:51] edbian, eth0 thing but the modem, it's point to point, its default gateway is the modem [16:51] adminewb1, I'm not sure it will solve the problem but I see a def problem forwarding DNS traffic to an interface that doesn't have a DNS server (or forwarder) on it. [16:51] edbian, yes the modem knows how to proxy DNS [16:51] edbian: yeah, I'm sure it can be done with some slightly different syntax but I hate it when it's different in zsh [16:51] edbian, that part works fine [16:52] Has anyone gotten the different wallpaper on each workspace to work with ubuntu 10.04? [16:52] adminewb1, But eth0 is not the modem. When you forward traffic to eth0 it is not going to the modem. [16:52] dublisk: normal user missing group membership or filepermission on that .so file ? [16:52] edbian, actually yes it does go to modem [16:52] Feroy, requires Compiz and you can no longer use desktop for icons/drives - still interested? [16:52] -rwxr-xr-x 1 andrei andrei 20040 2010-04-15 05:08 /home/andrei/devel/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so [16:53] adminewb1, Well then I don't know :P [16:53] that should be ok no ? [16:53] edbian: in case you care, $foo[1,3] in zsh is apparently like ${foo:1:3} in bash [16:53] the CCSM doesnt have wallpaper plugin and in the cube option it doesnt allow wallpapers . . . has anyone gotten it to work in 10.04?? [16:53] jrib, Even more like python! [16:53] Feroy, You have to install the extra plugin packages. Search in synaptic for "compiz" you'll see them. [16:53] Feroy, add the compiz extra plugins then (yes i've had it working in 10.04) [16:53] edbian: indeed though, I kept typing a ':' instead of a ',' and zsh yelled at me [16:54] ok thanks! [16:54] Feroy, You also have to turn off nautilus drawing the background. Not sure if I remember how to do that. [16:54] jrib, Ha [16:54] i did the nautilus allready, ive been following online guides all morning xD [16:54] Feroy, Then you just have to install some packages. [16:55] edbian, refer to my nested pastebin, it shows how the interfaces are set up; 192.168.30.1 is gateway for eth0, even though it doesn't show that way in ifconfig output [16:55] kk i see a fusion package and . . . fusion plugins [16:55] Feroy, compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [16:56] clps: yes it does seem downspeed/upspeed has depreciated. [16:56] should i get fusion-bcop aswell or leavew that alone? [16:56] oops got to go [16:56] bastid_raZor: ? so ? [16:56] adminewb1, My only suggestion is to forward DNS requests from wlan0 to eth0 and then from eth0 to some DNS server on the net. OR set up a DNS server on the wlan0, eth0 server. I don't know besides that. [16:57] adminewb1, Good luck! [16:57] thanks [16:57] Was anybody else watching my convo with him? Does anybody have any opinions? I felt like he just didn't want to take my advice. Was I wrong? [16:58] ok, i have desktop cube and cube rotate on, and ive put the images i want in the wallpaper's option, but i still only have one wallpaper, any ideas? [16:59] clps: try downspeedf and upspeedf [16:59] Feroy, do you see icons on your desktop? [16:59] no === jesse_ is now known as JK3MP [16:59] i disabled naultis from gnome w/e w/e [16:59] Feroy, don't know then... good luck. [16:59] haha ok === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [17:00] Feroy, Is the background you see the one from nautilus or from compiz? [17:00] bastid_raZor: not working :( [17:00] does nautilus have an option background? if so how do i disable it, cause i have one background on, and i added three to compz expecting my other 3 workspaces to be changed [17:00] clps: what does conky display when you use that? [17:01] Feroy, You have to turn the nautilus background completely off. Compiz should draw all 4 backgrounds. [17:01] Feroy, I don't know how to turn it off. [17:01] oh, ok [17:01] edbian, Feroy my steps for Muliple backgrounds at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/multiple-compiz-backgrounds [17:01] bastid_raZor: i have a small graph and a numeric value for down and up speed seperated... [17:01] ZykoticK9, You wrote this? [17:02] edbian, alucidfs if mine ya [17:02] Feroy, The desktop should completely disappear (no image, just black) if compiz isn't on and nautilus isn't drawing it for you. [17:03] well, i went to appearance and put it to the grey wallpaper thinking that might've been off but i dont think so [17:03] Feroy, Not quite :) See ZykoticK9 instructions? That's how to turn it off. The show desktop key in gconf-editor [17:04] clps: i understand that. what i'm asking is what does conky display when you use ${downspeedf wlan0}? is it blank output on conky or does it show an error? [17:04] yes i unticked that to turn it off [17:04] Feroy, And what color is the background? [17:04] currently grey, i have no background on right now [17:04] Feroy, Log out and log back in to restart the graphical components. [17:05] A command line logical question: I'm about to use svn to check out from a repo: http:/path/to/repo, so I type svn co http://path/to/repo. But I want the checkout to end up in the current folder, not in a subfolder named repo. How do I do this? [17:05] Feroy, if it's grey that is a background. Just a very plain one. [17:05] ok ill relogin to my ubuntu then [17:06] clps: there is a #conky if i'm unhelpful :) [17:06] THANK YOU [17:06] whoever told me to relogin [17:06] xD [17:06] Feroy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:07] Feroy, You got it to work I presume? [17:07] yeah, jjust set the wallpapers you want and restart/relogin to enable it [17:07] and the good new is [17:07] bastid_raZor: Down ${downspeed downspeedf} k/s ${alignr}Up ${upspeed eth0} k/s [17:07] ${downspeedgraph eth0 25,107} ${alignr}${upspeedgraph eth0 25,107} [17:07] Total ${totaldown eth0} ${alignr}Total ${totalup eth0} [17:07] in places, desktop still has all my folders and everything so i dont might not seeing them :D [17:08] hi everyone. I had sound last night and now all of a sudden I don't. not even the icon on the top bar... completely unsure what to do [17:08] mind* [17:08] going to the sound option hangs at 'waiting for sound system to respond' [17:08] Feroy, Yep. Linux is great huh? [17:08] Ok, I set the login screen for ubuntu so it would automatically log me in to my only account. After restarting it still shows my account and asks for a password, but when I enter the correct password, my screen flashes and goes back to ask which user I want to log in as. [17:08] yeah, thanks edbian! [17:08] clps: ${downspeed downspeedf} is incorrect. replace it with ${downspeedf eth0} or with wlan0 ..which ever interface you're trying to use. [17:08] Feroy, Glad I could help :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [17:09] clps: and the same with upspeed replace it with upspeedf [17:10] bastid_raZor: dont look for first line. i m trying it now... [17:10] If anyone knows the proper terminal command to require a login again, that may be useful. Perhaps I could undo the login settings, and go back to the way I had it === jujubickoille is now known as jujubickoillem [17:11] I have got a problem with my wireless connection: iwconfig and ifconfig don't seem to be willing to work together. I have to configure the ethernet device with a static IP address. While ifconfig is running, with the manually assigned IP and the gateway correctly set, the wireless device is unable to connect (i.e. it remains forever in a 4-handshake + disconnect process). However, if I "ifconfig eth1 down" and the device is libera === jujubickoillem is now known as jujubickoille === nuboon2age_ is now known as nUboon2Age [17:12] I keep trying to connect to a VPN with 10.04 and I get an error saying it fails to connect because vpn failed to start.

[17:32] Bullterd: yes, as bastid.. mentioned, last command isn't needed as apt takes care of it (no harm , though) [17:32] nimbiotics: kernel panics happen when either the hardware or the driver is bad, and since it was triggered by a power surge, sounds like something got fried [17:32] thunderbird [17:33] Bullterd: that lines, can chain the commands by && [17:33] nimbiotics, Did I suggest bad ram to you yesterday? How did that go? [17:33] maco: how can I check for hardware issues? Is there a test I could probably run or should I go old fashiones way?

[18:59] murlidhar: check the depends on http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/radiotray and see if they match the versions you have installed.

I'm using x64. Can't find skype on my aptitude sources. [19:02] kalib: you can get the installer from their site [19:02] abhijit, it's a specific question [19:03] Alonea: I have that problem too, the key is to have the headphones plugged in when you start ubuntu up :\ [19:03] !ask | Javi_Sep ask in general. not to me [19:03] Javi_Sep ask in general. not to me: 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. :-) [19:03] kalib: never seen it in the apt sources [19:03] Alonea: sometimes it does switch between speakers and earphones, othertimes it doesn't, but starting with the earphones plugged in usually works [19:03] kalib: I think it's also on the medibuntu site which also has restricted codecs for audio/video [19:04] scunizi: have a url where I can get the sources for apt? [19:04] blackn1ght: very dumb. I just set the sound to headphones manually do it since I only use headphones sometimes. as for the mic though...it used to work, but with updates it stopped at one point [19:04] ok, well: I've got a broadcom based card , bcm4312, and everybody is using the broadcom sta drivers from the hardware drivers window, but that driver doesn't work for me, instead of I'm using b43.

I don't have konqueror :( [19:12] because when I need java in firefox it works fine but when I try something that needs java in chrome it tells me I need java and it asks me if I want to go to download it. [19:13] I would do that but when it sent me to adobes site it doesn't have a deb file for ubuntu. [19:13] netsavy006: just download and install it then. [19:13] perhamlinux: I don't know, but it's better to use a older one that works, no? [19:13] perhamlinux: kernel updates are mainly for newer hardware,... very rarely does a kernel need to be updated for security. [19:13] netsavy006: its not a deb. you just install through terminal. its not hard [19:13] netsavy006: its a bin right? [19:13] Hello. [19:13] netsavy: have you tried adding --enable-plugins to the menu item? [19:14] but I can't seem to figure out how to install it so it will install to where chrome is installed. I don't even know where chrome is installed. [19:14] collabra: Javi_Sep: so it doesn;t even worth the try to fix it? [19:14] perhamlinux: I would use the older kernel until the next kernel update [19:14] netsavy006: the installer should do it for all browsers. its been a while since I have installed it. you sure you have java enabled for chrome? [19:15] collabra:depends on, remotely might be right, as they got patched then, but locally in multiuserenvironments, there are security issues [19:15] netsavy try this on the terminal: chrome --enable-plugins and test [19:15] I'm using the 9.10 live disc and installing some software. I might need a few reboots to fix this problem and don't wnat to keep redownloading the package lists and the package's .debs. I know the .debs are in /var/cache/apt/archive, but where is the package lists? [19:15] DasEi: so what would you recommend perhamlinux to do then? [19:16] does ubuntu 10.04 come with the linux kernel 2.6.24 or later (fresh install) [19:16] thanks [19:16] brandon_: 2.6.32 [19:16] brandon_, it comes with 2.6.32 [19:16] thank you ghostknife [19:16] and valbaca [19:16] It doesn't even mention java in the settings, it mentions javascript and that's enabled but I know that java and javascript are 2 different things.

[19:17] First, I don't know what partner repo is. What is it? [19:17] perhamlinux: I would just skip this kernel release and hope for a fix in the next one. [19:17] ghostknife, IdleOne is correct [19:18] collabra, perhamlinux: you can get a newer kernel or ease it up with a tool like kernelcheck, that let you decide which modules to install, or just get the working config of the "good old" kernel [19:18] !partner | netsavy006 [19:18] netsavy006: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [19:18] perhamlinux: use this to build a new one [19:18] valbaca: IdleOne: I'm not looking for the configuration. I'm looking for the actual downloadded lists, so I can just copy them onto the livecd when booted and not need to rerun "apt-get update" [19:18] netsavy006: ah ok, so just download your bin file. ./jdk-yadayada.bin [19:18] Hello.

I tell ya, it's a pain and somewhat confusing,.. but DasEi is right.... you could [19:19] KittyBoots: what's the problem with lkl ? [19:19] How will I know if it was added? [19:19] for some reason, I can't watch youtube videos in Lucid after installing flash [19:19] ghostknife, you'll need the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [19:19] is there any rythmbox channel? [19:19] tavish i have a netbook aspire 532h and to disable touchpad press fn plus f7 to enable/disable. however there is no disable when typing support on ubuntu 10.04 check out the compatibility: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Acer%20Aspire%20One%20532h. Hope that helps. [19:19] ghostknife: I am not sure I understand what it is you want to do. you want a list of already installed packages? [19:19] valbaca: that's not all of them [19:20] ghostknife, I can't seem to find a package to install it. [19:20] IdleOne: when you run apt-get update, it downloads the repository package lists [19:20] I tried downloading and installing the .deb package from adobe.com, but it complains about the wrong architecture (mine is amd64, the package is i386. Is this a dealbreaker, or can I get this to install and run?

The one you told me to add came up. What do I do next. I'm in the Ubuntu Software Centre. [19:20] like i want to set firefox to always be -5 [19:20] netsavy006: know that what was added to where? I have always just installed the bin and been ok for all browsers [19:20] ls /var/lib/apt and /etc/apt and /var/cache/apt is enough [19:20] ghostknife: hmm not sure where that info would be stored [19:20] i can renice it everytime it starts, but i would love to do that automatically [19:21] redwyrm: may i PM? [19:21] ghostknife; no wait, that was the problem I had with uberkey. [19:21] no_u0: you could write a script to keep checking the process list and set the niceness of any "firefox" processes it finds [19:21] mneptok: yes [19:21] I just added the repository. It shows up in the Ubuntu Software centre. [19:21] What do I do next.

At present I use dnsmasq as my dhcp server so am unfamilliar with dhcp3. I am not averse to switching to dhcp3 but what the atricle does not mention is how I configure 'normal dhcp' behaviour for my existing machines. Is there anybody around here that would be happy to chat to [19:34] jmeng, you have a PPA that might be interfering there... [19:34] jmeng, wait [19:34] ......me about how this stuff works?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [20:12] Strashniq, 50 000??? [20:12] i was searching whole day [20:12] !requirements | Strashniq [20:12] Strashniq: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [20:13] about novell moonlight 2.2, i receive error message when trying to open a page using silverlight: "The following plug-in has crashed: /usr/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonloader.so" - any ideas what causes it and how i can fix it? [20:14] well does anyone has Ubuntu 8.10 - because i made it work but 9.04 and latest versions don`t work [20:14] rabbitmq [20:14] is moonlight included in the ubuntu repos? [20:14] Strashniq: 8.10 is end-of-life [20:14] Strashniq, whats the problem [20:14] hey can i interrupt [20:15] well how should i make newer version to work on my old laptop ? [20:15] um i guess not [20:15] hi. so its best not to bother about dpkg at all since it will be deprecated in the future ? [20:15] when i try to install -i boot and i see only flickering screen [20:15] timpster: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [20:15] timpster: interrupt what? [20:15] ooo nice [20:15] timpster: the only way youd be interrupting is if you pasted 30 lines of text and mashed up the chat [20:15] duffydack sadly when i boot - i can`t see anything even when i try command line install [20:16] timpster: or started talking about goats or something otherwise off topic [20:16] um i was wondering how to get a murrine theme installed AND THEN make it transparent [20:16] maco: so what should i do [20:16] i hear men stare at them [20:16] !Strashnig what videokard is used in your laptop ? we need these details to determinate what could be wrong. also brand & type laptop is gooed info [20:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:16] kingxo: figure out why you're banned from #linux? [20:16] maco: it must work pretty much the same in other linux distros, right¡ [20:16] damit dont type really long msgs [20:17] timpster: watch language [20:17] where can i get a murrine theme that works sry 4 the language [20:17] maco: im not banned, im not registered and i havent received the email to complete the registration [20:18] kingxo: for that ask in #freenode please [20:18] Strashniq, like Oer said, we need info... [20:18] timpster: to get transparent you need to have compositing enabled, so turn on desktop effects in system -> preferences -> appearance [20:18] im trying to boot from a RIP linux cd and all i get is a black screen. i currently have NO OS installed. hard drives are empty. [20:18] :( [20:18] panitaliemom: rip linux?? [20:18] 0er Brand : Benq, CPU: Intel Celeron 1.7 ,Ram 1 gig, Video :SIS Series (not sure which one) [20:18] oh well, goodbye [20:18] anyone good with ati ? [20:18] Can anyone suggest a proxy server that supports *) Multiple upstreams *) Including SOCKS support. [20:18] panitaliemom: what has that to do with ubuntu support? [20:18] yeah i just realized that its off but i dont have any murrine themes to use it ---------------- [20:18] !anyone | aftertaf [20:18] aftertaf: 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? [20:18] timpster: gnome-look.org is the site to find themes [20:19] and i dont know how to make it transparent [20:19] are there utilities included in 10.04 that allow for the *safe* resizing of partitions? [20:19] hi [20:19] timpster: if desktop effects are enabled window borders automatically become transparent [20:19] cant use the ATI drivers anymore but need energy-saving capabilities to stop laptop from overheating [20:19] sha1sum: gparted is okay [20:19] im trying to install ubuntu, and it wont boot either. [20:19] i really wan RGBA support [20:19] !hi | jordanman [20:19] jordanman: 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! [20:20] OK, and I have another question... My laptop battery won't hold any charge, and with a thunderstorm, the power went out and so did my laptop. Now a lot of my gnome preferences and some of my application preferences have disappeared. [20:20] How can I get them back, if at all? [20:20] sha1sum: actually gparted is a good program to safely resize partitions [20:20] is there any way to split a linux ext4 partition into separate partitions for /home and / after install? [20:20] For instance the entire theme is different for gnome, and my jEdit color scheme is not set any longer [20:20] yes, via live cd [20:20] b00m_chef: ^ [20:20] "bareword Pictures not allowed while strict sub in use at (eval 1) line 1" [20:20] Strashniq, I know someone with SIS that works fine. Did you use the LIVE cd or the alternate cd [20:20] maco, i want rgba support do u know what that is [20:20] Strashniq, what is the type of benQ ? [20:21] could anyone help me figure out why i can't reach the internet through my ubuntu linux 2 nic router i have set up? [20:21] Hello all [20:21] sha1sum: other than re-preferencing,... I've got nothin [20:21] Actually *all* of my jEdit preference has disappeared [20:21] aftertaf: ahh good...I thought it might be through live CD, but didn't want to risk it without confirming here [20:21] ubottu: do you have games here? [20:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:21] shit [20:21] duffydack i tried them both - i guess my SIS VGA is very very old [20:21] how often should i reinstall ubuntu 10.04 [20:21] d3s3rt3gl: wrong window? [20:21] scriptwarlock, do u know about rgba supprot [20:21] !language | sha1sum [20:21] sha1sum: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:21] aftertaf: can you recommend any docs? [20:21] my abbreviations, macros, color scheme, everything I use every day to edit code is gone [20:21] duffydack i tried both latest and 9.04 version [20:21] both desktop and [20:21] none i know of.. google maybe ;) [20:21] Hey guys. I was using some utilities to test my works security with wireless, but I have several "monitor" sessions open - or something? Ifconfig yields like 5 instances of "mon0, mon1, mon2" etc. How can I disable these? [20:21] IdleOne: yeah sorry about that. Word vomit. It's just very bad that I'm a web developer and all my code editor preferences are gone [20:21] ubottu: hi [20:22] 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! [20:22] Strashniq, did you try the extra options before booting it? noapic etc [20:22] does ubuntu need to be defragmented [20:22] After an auto update fglrx is no longer working properly, both the radeon and fglrx are in modprobe, but when I run the ATI config suite it tells me the driver is not loaded or is not working properly [20:22] sha1sum: you edit code and your here asking what to do? [20:22] EVERYBODY C H I L L [20:22] Strashniq, press a key when you boot the cd to get a menu, then (F6 I think) to get more options. [20:22] !defrag | beepanda22 [20:22] beepanda22: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [20:22] collabra: yes. why is that so hard to believe? Most of the answers and skills I've acquired have been from nice people helping me out. [20:22] beepanda22, not usually. EXT4 is bettern then ext3 in that regard [20:22] duffydack i will try and join later [20:22] thank you everybody [20:23] im trying to install ubuntu, and the installation cd doesnt boot. i have no OS installed [20:23] sha1sum: i apologize,.... sincerely. [20:23] collabra: I'm a web developer, not an app developer, first of all. Second of all, I've never seen app preferences just go away into the void like that. [20:23] plz hlp! [20:23] StrangeCharm, there are things to try like noapic, acpi off , safe gfx mode I dont know if its still there or not.. [20:23] panitaliemom: BIOS are cet to boot from CD? [20:23] set* [20:23] sha1sum: neither have I.... you'd think ext4 would recover those bits [20:23] Anyone run into any issues after the most recent update with fglrx? [20:23] panitaliemom, use your BIOS's boot selection screen, or set boot order in BIOS [20:23] panitaliemom [20:24] collabra: how would I check the disk integrity? [20:24] does anyone know how to route traffic coming in on eth1 to go out eth0? [20:24] Could it be that the filesystem is protecting some sectors or something? [20:24] sha1sum: to be honest,... I'm entry-level support,... I'd send you to tier two,... but it's just me here.... sorry :( [20:24] My cursor is acting funny, when I try to click inside a window it just grabs the window instead, why is it doing this? [20:25] /usr/bin/pgadmin3: relocation error: /usr/bin/pgadmin3: symbol _ZN21wxMemoryFSHandlerBase19AddFileWithMimeTypeERK8wxStringPKvmS2_, version WXU_2.8 not defined in file libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 with link time reference [20:25] sha1sum: i'm sure someone here has the answer [20:25] Let's hope so. This sucks. heh [20:25] collabra: thanks for the effort :) [20:25] pyTopher, could your ALT key be stuck down?

[20:26] ZykoticK9, thats wierd when I hold alt down it works fine [20:26] hello i just purchased a WD 1TB USB drive should i format it it to win32 for ubuntu? i think its ntfs by default === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [20:27] pyTopher, so it's acting in reverse - sorry no idea how to fix that. Good luck. [20:27] panitaliemom edit your boot order in your bios settings check out this ubuntu page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD [20:27] IdleOne: i got disconnected. BIOS is set to boot from a cd. it just gives me a black screen. [20:27] sha1sum: best boot to a live CD [20:27] Anyone have a link for a guide to debugging graphics issues? [20:27] Newest auto update borked everything [20:27] i was thinking of maybe putting a live cd on it though which might be cool [20:27] live dvd [20:27] custom live dvd might be cool too [20:28] gurudrew: force older package in synaptic [20:28] sha1sum, for fsck next boot, type in terminal > sudo touch /forcefsck [20:28] but probably a lightweight version [20:28] pandlunium: did you md5sum before burning? [20:28] would be better [20:28] <[thor]> user01: this is only my opinion, but since ubuntu seems to handle NTFS with very few issues, it seems that leaving it as it's default formatting will provide the widest range of use [20:28] I'm not sure which package is broken [20:28] pandlunium download again and verify ( i dont know how) make sure that you burn the contents of the disc, not a single file. if you have another computer with an os installed, then you could check the cd contents [20:28] does anyone know how to move data from linux ext partitions into a a Virtual Box OS [20:28] all I know is I updated and now my ATI drivers aren't working properly [20:29] <[thor]> user01: formatting to ext3 or 4 will prevent you from using it with windows and other legacy OS's [20:29] [thor]: well this is a usb device so obviously ill want to use it on various operating systems [20:29] pandlunium is the black screen completely black or is there a prompt with a flashing line or text [20:29] wrektjet, #vbox [20:29] <[thor]> user01: exactly === alex88 is now known as alex88[sleep] [20:29] thnx [20:29] [thor]: which is why i thought win32 would be best [20:29] heloo [20:29] how do you use letters in cinelerra?

[20:31] quizme: i recommend you set the PC running the ssh service to a static IP [20:32] ActionParsnip, yeah it's static i think. [20:32] quizme: it varies wildly between routers, you will have to rtfm [20:32] I use ubuntu JeOS with lxde-core. how can I change the keyboard layout with the keyboard layout switcher applet in the task bar or is there another way to set the keyboard layout in the gui? [20:32] can anyone tell me how to enable animation plugins in lucid? [20:33] ActionParsnip: i noticed that i can do nc -l 12345 | cat, and then curl :12345 and it will show [20:33] the curl is from my web server (external) [20:33] quizme: if you enter your routers internal IP into your borwser you will be in the routers config [20:33] ActionParsnip: i think my router is doing some kind of dynamic mapping... i forget what it's called === surfer is now known as nilsma [20:34] !ccsm | Sid123 [20:34] Sid123: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[20:35] I just bought a new wireless router and I can't get my laptop to work with the wireless. [20:35] Hello, I just had a problem booting with the LiveCD. I tried to try it without installing. It acted like it was going to load, but then the screen filled with a bunch of these little horizontal bars, then it just went to a black screen and nothing happened. [20:35] pyTopher, try in ##hardware [20:35] pandlunium if you want to download faster from ubuntu, try the torrent if you know how [20:35] abhijeet: ok [20:35] ActionParsnip: okay i am in. I see "Cable", Gateway" "Wireless" Firewall, "Admin" and Info" [20:35] :/ [20:35] ActionParsnip: probably Firewall? [20:35] quizme: click around, see what you can find [20:35] I can't figure out how to fix my problem. I went to system > administration > hardware drivers, and it mentioned of a driver for my ati driver for my computer that would allow me to have 3d settings since I was told by an app I didn't have that, I decided to activate the driver. It installed it and told me I needed to reboot. But after that I couldn't get into my computer. I just see the Ubuntu name / logo and the 4 dots u [20:36] Okay well forcing an fsck worked to get my gnome preferences back, however, my code editor's preferences are all gone, including all plugin options. [20:36] Guest5263: did you md5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you check the CD for defects? [20:36] !md5sum | Guest5263 did you check? [20:36] Guest5263 did you check?: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:36] guest5263 re download the iso from ubuntu.com and then verify it. burn the contents of the image, not just one file. then you can change your bios settings and boot from your cd you just burned [20:36] I just bought a new wireless router and I can't get my laptop to work with the wireless. [20:37] guest5263 you should also consider checking if all your hardware is known to work with ubuntu, if you havent done so already [20:37] Actionparsnit guntbert beepanda22: I burned and verified with ImgBurn. I've already used this disc to install it before, but I wanted to test it first this time. It installed fine last time. [20:37] W43372: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see the routers SSID? [20:38] guest5263 is the cd ubuntu 10.04 [20:38] timpster: yo man what brings you here? [20:38] beepanda22: yes [20:38] perhaps redownload it [20:38] Guest5263: please check the disk integrity from the CD menu [20:38] ActionParsnip: Yes. Yes, I do. [20:38] I've used it to install before, and it worked fine. It's just the Live thing that won't work [20:38] have you verified your hardware compatibility (maybe with google) [20:38] Guest5263: boot to the cd. when you see the stickman, press spacebar and select check cd fpr defects [20:39] guest5263 is the cd a live cd [20:39] guest5263 is the disc damaged [20:39] ,mkkk [20:39] W43372: cool, then you should also find it in network manager, [20:39] beepanda22: Yes, it's a live CD. No, it's not damaged. [20:39] s [20:39] I can't figure out how to fix my problem. I went to system > administration > hardware drivers, and it mentioned of a driver for my ati driver for my computer that would allow me to have 3d settings since I was told by an app I didn't have that, I decided to activate the driver. It installed it and told me I needed to reboot. But after that I couldn't get into my computer. I just see the Ubuntu name / logo and the 4 dots under [20:39] Guest5263: only by running the self check, can you know that [20:39] do you know the cd works with the drive (dvd with a dvd drive, etc.) do you know the drive works [20:39] I could just skip testing and install it [20:40] ActionParsnip: I try to connect and it just cycles a few times and says you are now disconnected. When I try toconnect it doesn't even ask me for the psk it just tries to connect. [20:40] I'll do the cd frp defects thing [20:40] is anyone having problem with alien and conversion to deb? it doesn't creates the deb file in the directory even if the terminal say the opposite. [20:40] Guest5263: if your CD has defects it will be a bad install [20:40] bye. [20:40] guest5263 no you should really test it. let me grab the lucid release notes to post for you to read. [20:40] W43372: frp == for (typo) [20:40] !alien | elv [20:40] elv: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [20:41] I'm checking for defects now [20:41] \la [20:41] ActionParsnip: What should I do? [20:41] ActionParsnip: can i do port forwarding using ssh ? [20:41] W43372: did your old router use the same SSID (if you had one before), or do you have a stored SSID which is the same> [20:41] guntbert: yep i know but i need to convert a rpm but the problem is that alien doesn't creates the deb. [20:41] After installing the ati restricted drivers, at the graphical login it has something like a virtual desktop that I can scroll over to the right, but it's all black. It persists a little bit after logging in but stops. My four workspaces however are sized like it's all still there. [20:42] elv: if there is no .deb compile the source with checkinstall [20:42] And I can't move windows into that space even when it's active. What is going on with it? [20:42] ActionParsnip: No. [20:42] guest5263 heres the release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes [20:42] you can click on the link i posted [20:42] VCoolio: yes but the source is in a rpm file too...incredible [20:42] quizme: you don't "do port forwarding via ssh". You log onto the router and configure a port on the router to be pushed through to your internal network. [20:43] i have no OS installed and the live cd only gives me a black screen. i cant even start the installation [20:43] elv: sorry but alien is not supported here [20:43] ddss you could redownload the cd and burn it [20:43] W43372: good. do other PCs connect to it ok? [20:43] !md5sum| ddss [20:43] ddss: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:43] yes [20:43] ddss: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [20:43] read the release notes link i posted above^^ [20:43] ActionParsnip: Yes. My server is hardlined to the router and connects. My xbox is hardlined and connects and my moms computer in the other room connects to the wireless without error. [20:44] how can i share files with a windows 7 computer over a network [20:44] (i have ubuntu 10.04 [20:44] This verification takes awhile, huh? [20:45] W43372: ok use those one to disable the encryption or switch to wep. Does it connect then? [20:45] ActionParsnip: okay. i'll try. [20:45] #89 [20:45] beepanda22: use samba [20:45] Is there a way I can install an ATI driver while in try mode so I can overrite the driver I have installed on my current ubuntu so I don't have to do and reintall ubuntu a 2nd time? [20:45] actionparsnip ok [20:45] exit [20:45] ddss do you have an os on another computer? [20:46] ActionParsnip: I have to disable my encryption? [20:46] W43372: just to test [20:46] Check finished: No errors found [20:46] ddss you could get a cd from ubuntu shipit instead [20:46] beepanda22: you may need to use samba passwords due to win7 using a weird authentication in samba [20:46] perhaps ddss doesnt haveanother os [20:46] ActionParsnip: Translated Address Table? [20:46] thank you actionparsnip [20:46] Hello. [20:47] quizme: not sure dude, what make / model is the router?? [20:47] hi, has anyone had problems in ubuntu 10.04 with the update-manager and software center starting and then immediately closing? [20:47] should I try to use "Try withoug installing" again? [20:47] Guest5263: in that case I advise against installing anyway - if the live system doesn't work odd are that the installed system won't either [20:47] addos: use http://pastie.org to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [20:47] Guntbert: the odd thing is I actually installed Ubuntu with this disc on this laptop before [20:47] guest5263yes so you can go online and check out the links everyone has posted [20:48] Guest5263: sure, try it [20:48] <`RadioMan> burn it x16 or less [20:48] I have been having some boot up issues.. [20:48] ActionParsnip: I can't easily do that, since a friend of mine is the one having hte problems. I will see if I can get them to do it later today [20:48] correction x4 or less [20:48] guest5263 download xubuntu or kubuntu and install gnome later if you want gnome [20:48] actionParsnip: motorola, sbg900.... i think i found it.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [20:55] scunizi I'll try but i've reinstalled twice now [20:56] dakota_, you have failed to give us the error message. [20:56] rhett: openoffice? [20:56] yes [20:56] We cannot read minds, even your computers' [20:56] scunizi: couldn't find package openoffice [20:56] Well I have been searching for the past 2 days on this USB driver boot error that stalls my boot up sequence and takes me to CLI, then I have to log in from there and start the GUI manually.

[20:56] anyone know what i need to mount a BIN file (vox if possibe) [20:56] rhett: other then the error that you wrote.. does openoffice actually open? [20:56] Does anyone have any experience with setting up SVN on UbuntuServer? I've been having some difficulties with svn+ssh:// [20:56] pure_hate, hola [20:57] scunizi: the flash screen shows up then error, no office [20:57] kyle_, bin files are typically Binary files - you'd typically run them, not mount them [20:57] Hey,I have been trying for ages to get the spell check to work in open office but to no avail, any suggestions? [20:57] I need help and I asked on the forums but no one is answering me. I'd like to know can I install a new ATI driver or modify my exisiting one wile I'm in CD Try Mode? (I'm using ATI HD Radeon 2600 PRO) [20:57] rhett: I don't know if this will work but from a terminal try soffice -en [20:57] netsavy006, proprietary drivers don't work on LiveCD [20:57] ZykoticK9: i wanted to mount it as a vobx CD but it doesn't work.

[20:58] about vinagre: how do i remote into a give ubuntu-pc as a specific user from terminal? [20:58] A game CD. just wanted to skip a step of burning it first. [20:58] In benchmarks the Open Source ATI drivers do better than the Catalyst drivers [20:58] Crap. I had to install a proprietary wireless driver, and it says I need to restart for it to work. I'm logged in a Live Session, if I reboot, will it install the driver in a Live Session? [20:58] no I have Ubuntu installed on my HD and I can't get into my computer. But I want to install ATI driver on that, but I'm currently in LiveCD. What can I do to get the Ati Drivers installed? [20:58] dakota_: what's the error message in dmesg ? [20:58] What file consist skript names are running with system? [20:58] ActionParsnip: You still there? [20:59] rhett: is your computer set to use a different language other than english? [20:59] scunizi: not that I can see [20:59] kyle_, ahh to it's a bin/cue i take it. You'll probably need to burn it first. FYI gaming in VBox is kinda limited. [20:59] s/to/so [20:59] ZykoticK9: Oh and can anything on ubuntu burn BIN field. I also have .cue file [20:59] hmm, weird,, view jqtouch/preview/demo/main/ in google-chrome-beta, as apposed to the current google-chrome (on windows, don't know if i can side by side stable and beta on ubuntu) and the beta screws up massively [20:59] Hello Everyone, I’m using Ubuntu 10.4 with Gnome 2.30.2. I’d like to completely turn off all tooltips. A bunch of articles I’ve seen mention that just launching gconf-editor & unchecking the tooltips option at apps /panel/global will do it. But this only stops the ones for the applications at the top panel from appearing. The ones on the bottom panel, such as for the running applications & for the workspace switcher s [20:59] till appear. I’ve tried adding the file ~/.gtk-2.0 with the contents gtk-enable-tooltips = 0 to my home directory & rebooting which didn’t do it. It’s listed as a gnome-bug #84961 at one site. And another site mentioned installing compiz & setting the tooltip transparency to zero. Is this the only way to completely turn off these tooltips for the lower panel? Thanks, Mark [20:59] none of the list gradient backgrounds render.. how annoying. [20:59] ActionParsnip: I disabled the encryption and the wireless works on the laptop. [20:59] scunizi: i should not that I reinstalled a "functioning" openoffice suite because it would shut down every time I went to type anything [21:00] Crap. I had to install a proprietary wireless driver, and it says I need to restart for it to work. I'm logged in a Live Session, if I reboot, will it install the driver in a Live Session? [21:00] ZykoticK9: no I have Ubuntu installed on my HD and I can't get into my computer. But I want to install ATI driver on that, but I'm currently in LiveCD. What can I do to get the Ati Drivers installed? [21:00] kyle_, i doubt Brasero can (but maybe?), sorry i don't know a cdburning software that will. [21:00] i dont have a speaker icon :O [21:00] scunizi: the original openoffice with 10.04 was buggy [21:00] netsavy006, see the !grub2 factoid for chrooting to your actual install then [21:00] ZykoticK9: it didn't come up with my img files.. [21:00] <`RadioMan> lol toni, did it run away ? [21:00] Does anyone have any experience with setting up SVN on UbuntuServer? I've been having some difficulties with svn+ssh:// setup and don't know enough about apache to set up svn with http:// access instead. [21:00] ActionParsnip: I disabled the encryption and the wireless works on the laptop. [21:01] ZykoticK9: Thanks for your help. [21:01] ZykoticK9: What did all that mean? [21:01] rhett: open synaptic package manager and type openoffice in the search bar.. then on the left click the "Installed" option.. lets compare and see if you're missing anything.. are you running 10.04? [21:01] hi, WPA & WPA2 personal should work with WPA-PSK, right? I cannot get on the network.

I cannot get on the network. [21:02] <`RadioMan> ur in toni, now fix it [21:02] Suest5263: you would have to install ubuntu and the install the driver, reboot and then... you can use your wireless [21:02] but how ? [21:02] <`RadioMan> cya [21:02] netsavy006, it's just the chroot instruction from that factoid link you want - stop after chroot directions [21:02] scunizi: one moment [21:02] Crap. I had to install a proprietary wireless driver, and it says I need to restart for it to work. I'm logged in a Live Session, if I reboot, will it install the driver in a Live Session?

[21:04] <`RadioMan> als toni in a terminal type (alsamixer) and check the mic there [21:04] :O ok [21:04] netsavy006, you don't! it's just that it includes instructions to chroot. Never mind, best of luck. [21:04] scunizi: Installed version 1:3.2.0-ubuntu4.1 [21:04] what do i do now ? [21:05] Azjo, it should.... using network manager? [21:05] <`RadioMan> unmute the mic, and turn it up [21:05] scunizi but thats the Ooffice installed version [21:05] rhett: are you in Synaptic Package manager or software center? [21:05] so there are man pages not just for commands but for their non-executing (non-binary) support files..? ie.. i just read there is a man page for ssh-config .. [21:05] ZykoticK9: Please don't just wish me luck. I need a lot of help with this. [21:05] scunizi package manager [21:05] You can't just expect a 2nd day user of ubuntu to understand all this. [21:05] rhett: as in system>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager? [21:06] scunizi yes [21:06] netsavy006, i really can't help at all with ATI i'm affraid - was just trying to address how you can use the LiveCD to install stuff on your actuall installation.

[21:06] Well then how do I chroot? [21:06] rhett: on the left pane you should have "All - Installed - Installed (local or obsolete) - Installed (manual) - etc... [21:06] hi guys [21:06] i installed usb live on usb with unetbootin. isnt it possible to install files and have it saved so its still there when you restart? [21:06] guest5263: did i see you say that sometimes that liveCD works and sometimes it doesnt? [21:07] sheenobu: should be above the "Sections" part [21:07] twig_: it didn't work the first time, 2nd time it booted fine [21:07] I watnt to run my script with starting system, i forget the name of file that consist names of scripts that run when system start [21:07] Azjo, if you can use ubuntu to make the usb, then use startup disk creator [21:07] i had the same issues a few weeks back and it was because my opt drive was dying [21:08] twig_: thanks, I'll tell the owner of the laptop [21:08] rhett: should be above the "Sections" part [21:08] !chroot | netsavy006 [21:08] netsavy006: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory.

[21:12] edbian: alright, thanks :D [21:13] netsavy006, just about anything useful has to have sudo in front of it [21:13] <`RadioMan> toni, alot of times its better for some systems just to use alsa, if you want to in terminal type (gstreamer-properties) and change it all to (alsa) then reboot, and make your normal settings [21:13] I need to install dchroot but I got this message from the terminal: E: Couldn't find package dchroot === me is now known as Guest37291 [21:13] netsavy006, are you sure the ati driver will fix this problem ? [21:13] I'm not 100% sure, but that was the last thing I did on the computer . [21:13] markrich: gnome has an admin panel that allows you to edit wm prefs. [21:13] MarkRich, Apparently. If there is a bug for it than it's a bug! Sounds like you know more than me. [21:13] before rebooting.[ [21:13] RadioMan: Alriighty, will do :) And what do you mean normal settings ;O [21:13] :S [21:13] bazhang, hey do you know about rgba supprot and murrine themes [21:13] <`RadioMan> mice spkrs etc [21:13] markrich: try doing it all from gnome.

[21:15] OK, thanks for the responses. Is that admin panel the same one that I mentioned? If not do you know where it's located & how this option can be disabled? [21:15] <`RadioMan> k [21:15] ive set up bind for domain "example.com"... ive used this tutorial : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dns-server-setup-using-bind-in-ubuntu.html ... my windows computer gives nice nslookup replies on all subdomain but not on root domain example.com itself... do i need to name the server itself somewhere? [21:15] netsavy006: no, he is not. only reinstalling GRUB [21:15] rhett: after installing that if it doesn't work then you might rename the .openoffice in your home directory [21:15] ZykoticK9, hey do you know about rgba support murrine themes --- i.e. the new ambiance theme [21:15] Oh ok. [21:15] timpster, nothing i'm affraid [21:15] murrine themes [21:16] ZykoticK9, he gets as far as the ubuntu logo.. grub isnt the issue I dont think.

[21:17] where is there no one on the gnome server [21:17] scunizi: yeah still no luck... what should i rename it to?

[21:20] netsavy006, is reinstalling an option? sometimes its more trouble to fix it with guides than its worth :) [21:21] netsavy006, You over-wrote it? [21:21] That's what I think, because the it said activate and that's what I did. [21:21] ZykoticK9: thanks, i'm checking getlibs [21:21] scunizi, don't want to risk my pre-installed win.. be that might be the direction i go.. ubuntu host, win guest [21:21] rhett: well.. I gave it a shot.. the only other thing I can think of is java or icetea (another java implementation).. but perhaps you should also present this and what you've done so far on #openoffice.org. Keep in mind that it can be a slow channel [21:22] netsavy006, Oh, I thought you meant that you went into the folder with the terminal and started sudo rm files or something. [21:22] netsavy006, Are you unable to boot? [21:22] *s/be/but [21:22] rhett: in the mean time if you need a word processor or spreadsheet try abiword and gnumeric [21:22] ZykoticK9 : do you know how to enable the vesa driver from grub [21:22] scunizi thanks, do either of those open and edit .docs? [21:22] collabra, sorry no - i checked the grub2 page and didn't see it actually. [21:22] rhett: abiword is the word processor and it should [21:22] edbian, he gets to the splash... [21:22] It won't let me mount the partition. [21:22] scunizi thanks again, i'll give it a shot [21:23] rhett: it's actually cleaner and faster than openoffice.. but not as many features.. [21:23] netsavy006, What about that silly "recovery mode" thingy in the grub menu? [21:23] netsavy006, Does that boot? [21:23] keeps telling me, special device does not exist. [21:23] scunizi screw features :P [21:23] scunizi openoffice is so cluttered [21:23] rhett: :) sometimes you just need it though.. [21:23] I don't even know what that is or how to access it? [21:23] netsavy006: the recovery mode might just enable the vesa driver by default [21:23] rhett, because its supposed to be an ms office replacement :) [21:24] !who | netsavy006 [21:24] netsavy006: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:24] scunizi duffydack yea thanks MS for reaching across the chasm between OS's [21:24] netsavy006, Do you see the grub menu when you boot that asks you what OS to choose? If not try booting while pressing the esc key. [21:24] netsavy006: no it's the key [21:24] I press shift.. odd [21:25] ^ he said. [21:25] netsavy006, Sorry, shift. [21:25] scunizi thanks again, see ya [21:25] does that mean I need to reboot my machine and then I hold shift while booting my pc as normal and it will bring up a menu? [21:25] rhett: np..:) .. hey one more thing.. open a terminal and type pidof soffice [21:25] netsavy006 : yeah [21:26] how do you sshfs into a remote directory? [21:26] netsavy006 : it will give you an option to do a recovery boot. [21:26] oh ok. I will give that a try. Let me leave here and give that a try. Whatever happens, I'll let you guys know. Thanks for your help. [21:26] Is there someone who could help me with ProjectM perhaps? It's an ALSA thing... [21:26] netsavy006, Don't just hold it down. Press it sort of sporadically. After the BIOS post. Before the Ubuntu slash screen. [21:27] netsavy006, If it boots you can get to a root terminal and fix whatever needs fixing. I recommend putting the old driver back. [21:27] pietime, easiest method is Place / Connect to Server / SSH -- mind you that isn't really using sshfs [21:27] When I have my wireless router encrypted I can't connect to the wireless. But if I disable the encryption I have no problem. What gives? [21:27] ZykoticK9, I don't understand. [21:27] W43372: maybe try a different version of encryption [21:27] W43372, some linux wireless drivers don't support encryption [21:28] W43372: yeah ,... what ^ he said [21:28] Zykotick9: So I either leave my network wide open or I don't get wireless? [21:28] pietime, if you have an SSH server that supports it - you can click Places menu, then "Connect to server" then select SSH and enter your details. [21:28] W43372: not necessarily,... try a different type of encryption [21:28] W43372: option 3 .. get a wireless card / adaptor that support encryption [21:29] W43372, as a "work-around" you could setup MAC filtering on your Router, if ALL encryption schemes fail [21:29] Whats the command to launch the filebrowser? [21:29] heey [21:29] not that MAC addresses can't be spoofed [21:29] it still doesnt work [21:29] W43372: after doing MAC filtering you could also turn off ssid broadcasting.. at least you'll be invisable from your avg. user [21:29] Neurotiquette, "nautilus" if you are on Gnome [21:29] W43372: If you do have to leave your network open turn off broadcasting... Won't fool everyone, but works most of the time. [21:30] ZykoticK9: Thank you. I am. [21:30] RadioMan: it still doesnt work [21:31] W43372: And by most of the time I mean 99.999999% of the time. Most people in this channel wouldn't know offhand how to find a network that has SSID broadcasting off. [21:31] Ok well I'm going to switch it over to WEP and see if that works. === mike is now known as Guest1491 [21:33] when a user is added to an ubuntu system, where is the default gnome configuration pulled from? [21:35] ah screw it I'm not going to worry about encryption [21:35] panfist: /etc/skel [21:35] guntbert, i actually don't see any gnome stuff in /etc/skel [21:36] thanks ZykoticK9 [21:36] Hey, could anyone tell me what they think of this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1558165 [21:36] W43372: i would suggest turning off your ssid brodcast.... if you dont want your neighbors to be granted access [21:36] All my neighbors in range have their own shit. [21:36] guntbert /etc/skel contains nothing about gnome at all [21:36] oops, sorry about that [21:36] ZykoticK9: panfist sorry, then - but to my knowledge the complete home dir get copied from /etc/skel [21:36] i mean to say, they all have their own encrypted wireless. [21:37] My house is a bit out of the way so I'm not too concerned anyone finding my signal whilst wardriving [21:37] guntbert, that was my understanding as well - i was surprised not to see anything Gnome applicable there [21:39] no one has anything to say about it? [21:39] How can I change the default group my users belong to when they log into the system. The net effect I want is that files created by users on my system result in having ownership of 'username:pentaho' for example. Signifying that all users will be members of the group 'pentaho'. [21:39] pietime: this is no discussion channel [21:39] guntbert, i was looking for help [21:39] not discussion [21:40] I'm using the laptop I had at school that still had Windows on it previously but [21:40] The stain is now gone.

[21:40] W43372: yes [21:40] Well holding shift while booting didn't work but I found out that when you have the cd in and you hold shift and the right time, you can modify some boot options. [21:40] Is there a boot option that I can add that will make it use the generic vga over the ATI driver?

[21:41] panfist: How about existing users? Is there a terminal command that will reassign the default groups of existing users, without deleting their existing group memberships? [21:41] netsavy006, you could try adding text to the boot parameters to boot to text only mode [21:41] !nox | netsavy006 [21:41] netsavy006: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[21:51] pietime, you might want to ask in #lubuntu and see if they have any suggestion (if you don't get some here first) [21:51] ok [21:51] Diverdude, then give tracker a try. It'll need some time to do the first indexing though, keep that in mind [21:51] ZykoticK9, there are very few people in lubuntu [21:52] #lubuntu* [21:53] pietime, it's not the size of the channel but the quality that matters ;) [21:53] does anyone know ho to get the wep key for a 2wire 2701hg-b (att/bellsouth dsl modem/router) their oage says it should be the 10 digit number on the router itself but the 2 laptops that are hooked to it only have 8 digits showing and wont let me show the numbers [21:53] is it anyway possible to boot ubuntu in command line mode or something? my guess is that X is failing to start [21:53] !nox | justmozzy [21:53] justmozzy: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[22:14] SubCool: Try prefixing the command with DISPLAY=:0 x11vnc blah blah [22:14] soreau: how so my graphics card is some onboard lowlowest of the low compiz needs 3-d rendering [22:15] Semitones, yes - it may promto for "sudo apt-get autoremove" [22:15] glassresistor: Which gpu does the netbook have? lspci|grep VGA [22:15] ZykoticK9, thanks, i'll make sure to run it when i see it [22:15] soreau: whats the easy way to figure that out [22:15] its the new atom so i think its part of my cpu [22:16] glassresistor: The command I gave at the end of my last statement [22:16] soreau, i have usr/local/bin/x11vnc -rfbauth /path/to/the/vnc/passwd -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -forever -bg -ssl SAVE [22:16] in xsetup [22:16] nerdy_kid, no drivers update required. I just need to add this empty file. /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat [22:16] SubCool: Try DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/x11vnc blah blah blah [22:16] soreau: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [22:16] nerdy_kid, though ive no idea why. Its still empty [22:17] glassresistor: Hm, yes they have had problems with the intel driver.. what happens if you try compiz --replace from your terminal? [22:17] o thx i was going to do that but didnt think about it thx [22:18] soreau: its not installed nbr doesn't have effects as an option [22:18] soreau, how do i refresh? reboot? [22:18] glassresistor, mine does [22:18] glassresistor: So install compiz? Its in the repos, right? [22:19] glassresistor, its not super quick but I have used compiz on my netbook [22:19] duffydack: really? i haven't treid but also not trying to give up system resources [22:19] SubCool: x11vnc is a server IIRC, so you run it and then vnc in from another machine [22:19] duffydack: what your gpu or system [22:19] glassresistor, intel something gpu... dell mini 9 [22:20] glassresistor, with reduced effects I can play quake live :) [22:20] soreau, correct, but after changing the display settings on the boot file, how do i test it other than rebooting the box..? nvm- ill just reboot it [22:20] SubCool: What do you mean changing boot file settings? oO [22:20] glassresistor, unity will make compiz redundant on my netbook [22:20] SubCool: You should be able to just run that command and done [22:20] unity? [22:21] soreau, after i changed those settings in xsetup, i ran x11vnc still ran into the same error [22:22] soreau, just tried again, same error [22:22] glassresistor, the netbook interface, soon to be...... [22:22] SubCool: well that was my only idea. Make sure you have an X session actually running on that machine on :0 display [22:22] hi everyone. after i make changes to a guest user in passwd file. do i have to restart the computer for changes to take effect ? [22:23] Hey, could anyone tell me what they think of this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1558165 I'm basically asking why my networked media wont play on Lubuntu but it will play on Ubuntu. is it possible that Lubuntu has some configurations or settings that would cause audio files to skip on media that is not local? [22:23] soreau, how do i do that? [22:23] SubCool: ps ax|grep X [22:23] 1584 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto X [22:25] SubCool: So you dont even have an X session running [22:25] awesome.. [22:25] SubCool: You need X running to use X11vnc [22:25] i guess my settings didnt save over from gnome. ok- so then the file i created using the krunge.org didnt work? [22:25] that file i pasted to u? [22:26] well, the commnad (only command) in xsetup [22:26] howdy [22:26] I just migrated from karmic to lucid and I am truly impressed [22:26] hi everyone. after i make changes to a guest user in passwd file. do i have to restart the computer for changes to take effect ? [22:27] ezy, Yeah [22:27] ezy, Or maybe just log out and back in? [22:27] even my integrated ati graphics card, which was stuck with vesa on karmic, is working nicely with effects end everything [22:27] boobsbr, Great! :D [22:27] edbian, thanks. will try that [22:28] i have my computer configured to log in automatically on boot, so that i can still VNC into it if i have to reboot it remotely, but i still can't because it prompts for a password to "unlock login keyring" and i can't connect via VNC until this is dismissed [22:28] edbian: just getting used to empathy. [22:28] boobsbr, I prefer pidgin [22:28] panfist: change the keyring password to an empty string [22:28] edbian: is it normal for empathy to play sounds only on the left channel? [22:28] boobsbr, No idea. I don't use it. [22:28] boobsbr, Try playing music. [22:29] edbian: I do too, but I thought about giving it a try [22:29] ok [22:29] edbian: music works flawlessly [22:29] edbian: another thing that impressed me. karmic has some problems with sound on my integrated chipset [22:29] boobsbr, Well you at least know it's the app and not the sound server or speakers or something. [22:30] <[thor]> what's the CLI command for changing the keyring pass? [22:30] boobsbr, 10.04 is a LTS release so it typically is gonna be more polished. [22:30] soreau, so what do i do? this should be broke, i have used this many times before [22:31] edbian: I am flabbergasted by lucid. If only I knew earlier how good it was. [22:31] soreau: thanks works great and is pretty snappy [22:31] boobsbr, Ha [22:31] SubCool: So what did you do to break it? Are you sitting in front of this machine or sshd into it [22:31] glassresistor: Great, glad to hear it :) [22:31] my system halts booting with "ureadahead-other main process (XXXX) terminated with status 4". what's the matter here? [22:32] Hi Everyone [22:32] Im newbie on linux [22:33] I'd like to know why System Monitor did not identify my AMD Phenom 2 X4 processor [22:33] deever: not much help here, but I've googed that one before and found way too many hits to be useful...

[22:34] iury, After it freezes do you see anything in the output of dmesg in the terminal? [22:35] yeap, but i cant see it [22:35] its very fast [22:35] iury, Just look at the bottom. [22:35] iury, Look for stuff that is related to the touchpad. [22:35] Any help with getting wireless to work in bt4? [22:36] !backtrack [22:36] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

Personally, I use unison and I like it! The other standard tool for this sort of thing is rsync, but I prefer unison. However, I must leave to go fight the zerg [22:40] hey what's the best way to update? [22:40] novaricxo: update manager of course! [22:41] thanks :) [22:41] novaricxo, update manager, unless you're doing it on the command line [22:41] yeah command line [22:41] i managed to get workspaces in my nbr but how to i make those workspaces have two rows [22:41] !apt > novaricxo [22:41] novaricxo, please see my private message [22:41] Ugh I reinstalled (l) AMP and mod_rewrite is not enabled running the command apache2ctl -l does not list mod_rewrite, i have looked for the correct way to re-enable mod rewrite and all i find are articles from 2006 and well they are useless and outdated. I don't have 10 years of my life to sift through 6.7 million google hits to find one that is from the last year or so [22:41] SubCool: ps ax|grep X|grep -v grep <-- this should show output if you have X running. [22:41] thanks! :) [22:41] deever: the only question that pops up from that error: did you mess with fstab before boot problems began? [22:41] dominicdinada: you tried a2enmod? [22:41] hmm i thought running aptitude upgrade can break your system? [22:42] dominicdinada: it should be like a2enmod rewrite [22:42] or similar [22:42] hmmm [22:42] novaricxo: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [22:42] novaricxo, i have yet to have it break anything [22:42] ah thanks guntbert [22:42] novaricxo: it will always tell you it wants to do something stupid before it does it :) [22:42] hi [22:42] ok the command in the last article pointed out a outdated command let me look [22:43] does anyone know how I can load 'Display' under System/Preference? it doesn't seem to be there. I'm using Lucid. [22:43] thune3: no, just made updates [22:43] My touchpad freezes on interment ways on ubuntu lucid. Even when I restart the gnome it still freezes. Could you help me? [22:43] novaricxo: I don't think safe-upgrade will pull in kernel upgrades though, full-upgrade more like what you get from update manager if I'm not mistaken [22:43] has anyone had any luck getting an ATI x1050 working in Lucid? [22:43] where does the .vlc folder or the vlc config files live please? [22:43] oh ok, i see [22:43] ill do that then [22:43] thanks again [22:43] mun: run gnome-display-properties [22:43] olskolirc: ~/.vlc ? why? [22:44] deever: i missed the backstory on your issue, sry. Was this kernel update? can you boot older kernel ok? [22:44] i don't have it jrib [22:44] thanks [22:44] olskolirc: maybe ~/.config/vlc/ [22:44] I'm running gnome, could someone suggest a colour calibration tool?

Even when I restart the gnome it still freezes. Could you help me? [22:48] Would something like this make sense? 10GB root RAID0, 10GB swap RAID0, "the rest" /home RAID5 [22:48] glassresistor: If you want help setting up compiz, come to #compiz and we can help you there [22:48] jrenner type lspci into the terminal if your wireless card is a pci card or type lsusb if it is a usb card. Look for where it says wireless adapter, or something like that. Take note of the model number of your wireless card (output of either terminal command) and google it. [22:48] And not do the whole LVM thing. [22:49] im not trying to setup compiz from what i can tell [22:49] glassresistor: The viewports are controlled by compiz while running it [22:49] glassresistor: Youll want ccsm installed but its easier to help in #compiz where its a bit quieter [22:50] Maletor: raid 0 in root ? not wise. [22:50] beepanda22: didn't show up.... [22:50] jrenner, check the connection. [22:50] nm i set it up on compiz [22:50] Hi guy [22:50] My touchpad freezes on interment ways on ubuntu lucid. Even when I restart the gnome it still freezes. Could you help me? [22:50] erUSUL: Can you explain? [22:50] it looks to be in right... any reason why ubuntu wouldn't detect it? [22:51] soreau: thanks for the round about advice, compiz always just used the settings i had setup in metacity [22:51] Maletor: raid0 doubles the possibility of catastrofic failure. one disk goes bad whole system fsked [22:51] it looks to be in right... any reason why ubuntu wouldn't detect it? [22:51] erUSUL: I thought that was RAID1? [22:51] (sorry bout the repeat) [22:52] erUSUL: Oh.. I had them mixed up by 0 I meant 1: the redundancy. [22:52] Maletor: no raid1 is the oposite. [22:52] when a user is added to an ubuntu system, where is the default gnome configuration pulled from? it's not in /etc/skel ... [22:52] erUSUL: Well there is six drives so that 10GB sector and the 10GB swap would be mirrored exactly across all of them. [22:52] erUSUL: the home partition would have one drive be parity [22:52] ive done raid for years just had probs with ubuntu [22:53] quakelive runs great with it [22:53] hey everyone [22:53] hi [22:54] I neede assistance getting my webcam to work with Ubuntu [22:54] what can you use in ubuntu to use your ipod [22:54] kaze258: rhythmbox [22:54] hey all [22:54] I need help [22:54] Maletor: with 6 drives you may want to do raid5 or 10 [22:54] My touchpad freezes on interment ways on ubuntu lucid. Even when I restart the gnome it still freezes. Could you help me? [22:54] thank you [22:54] erUSUL: raid5 cannot boot [22:54] jrenner, your wireless adapter might not be supported. if you have a driver cd for linux, use that or check out the manufacturers website or google it [22:55] i [22:55] I neede assistance getting my webcam to work with Ubuntu [22:55] erUSUL: raid 1+0 is too much redundancy [22:55] I give up [22:55] kaze258, you can use rhythmbox or gtkpod to use your ipod [22:55] jrenner: what card do you have? [22:55] ! webcam | jameswannabe [22:55] jameswannabe: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [22:55] where do you download it from [22:55] jameswannabe, get cheese and try it (from ubuntu software center) [22:56] btw: does anyone know why a complaint about not being able to access the .ICEauthority file would show up upon login on a 10.04 box? it's mode 600 and owned by the user in question, but can't be rm'ed (Permission denied) [22:57] HTT-Bird: zonet zew1642 [22:57] HTT-Bird: maybe the problem is in the parent dir ? [22:57] jrenner: let me look that card up on linuxwireless.org [22:57] erUSUL: I'll check, but it's in the user's ~ [22:57] is there a way to view netflix thru ubuntu [22:58] kaze258 perhaps there is. go to the netflix website or google it (i dont know) [22:58] bye [22:58] erUSUL: which is 755 but owned by root, so I guess the problem is that I need to chown the user's ~ to himself [22:59] HTT-Bird: correct ;) [22:59] how do you "middle-click" on a macbook in lucid? [23:00] there is a problem with network-manager, when ever i connect my usb mobile broadband connection... it gets connected for a while and then quickly get disconnected.. any specific way to resolve it? [23:00] joepa: buying a *real* mouse with all three buttons ;P [23:00] HTT-Bird: That has happened to me when the filesystem has errors and was re-mounted read only. [23:00] hey guys i have a problm [23:00] thune3: yeah, that'd do it too. :p [23:00] could anyone help me troubleshoot my x11vnc, it got messed up somehow, and i cant seem to open a Session. Someone was helping, but we ran into a wall. [23:00] joepa: i think it is some apple special key ( system? ) + click [23:01] wen i start my laptop with ubuntu, the touchpad doesnt work for like a minute and aftr a minute it starts working again [23:01] I can't connect to any secure connections here on wired ethernet. Basically anything that's https:// fails to load. [23:01] jrenner: what chipset does your card use? (pastebin lspci -vvnn here if you're not sure)\ [23:01] idlecool, open network manager and check out the connection details for your usb mobile broadband adapter, by clicking on the mobile broadband tab, and then click on your connection and click edit. ensure that your settings are correct. other than that, i cannot really help you, so google it. hope that helps [23:02] asdf_baron: port 443's open, right? [23:03] subcool, poweroff your computer and restart it (if you can). this will restart the x server, or you could close the x11vnc program and open it back up if you can. thats all the advice i have, hope it helps [23:03] how do i check if a port is open? [23:03] , seems to be a common problem.. as i have already connected it using wvdial over command line [23:03] asdf_baron: tcptraceroute might be helpful [23:04] Hi every one [23:04] wick94 i have a netbook with a touchpad, and i have had that problem, basically, log out, or power off then turn back on or log in to see if that fixes the problem, thats what i did, nothing extra, hope it helps! [23:04] So i just run tcptraceroute and do what? [23:04] beepanda22, nope- paste that [23:04] wen i start my laptop with ubuntu, the touchpad doesnt work for like a minute and aftr a minute it starts working again [23:04] hi [23:04] can any one tell me what is the ultimate tool to use to diagnose computer hardware and software problems [23:04] asdf_baron: run tcptraceroute over port 443 and see where the traceroute dies out at [23:05] mintypu: your gray matter. :D [23:05] beepanda22 i did tht bt the problm returns the next time i turn my laptop on [23:05] ok [23:05] wick94, try to use an external mouse,and tell me if that works. [23:05] what's the syntax? tcptraceroute 443 doesn't quite work [23:06] asdf_baron: read the man page :) [23:06] lol aight [23:06] HTT-Bird: Ralink Rt-3062 [23:06] jrenner: ah. what kernel are you on? [23:06] wick94, if what i said works, then it must not be a driver for linux. is your touchpad disabled with a hardware button. see if it is, otherwise i cannot help [23:06] ?? [23:06] HTT-Bird: good question [23:06] jrenner: uname -r :) [23:06] wick94 does an external mouse work, if you have one? [23:07] 2.6.32-21-generic [23:07] jrenner: you may need a newer kernel [23:07] ah okay. what does that entail [23:07] when a user is added to an ubuntu system, where is the default gnome configuration pulled from? it's not in /etc/skel ... [23:07] HTT-bird, what website should i specify? [23:08] wick94, you could perhaps run a terminal if you can get logged in, and type lspci for your internal mouse. paste the output on irc [23:08] asdf_baron: port 443 and pick a known good host (https://mail.google.com) [23:09] HTT-Bird: If you could just link me to a guide or something that would be awesome. Sounds a bit complicated for IRC [23:09] !ubottu kernel [23:09] Bad destination address: https://mail.google.com [23:09] asdf_baron: ouch. it sounds like you have a DNS issue... [23:09] asdf_baron: without the https:// [23:09] ah. [23:10] thx guntbert, nvm what I last said asdf_baron [23:10] HTT-Bird: :) [23:10] bye [23:10] Hello all, i'm sorry, but i need help [23:10] HTT-Bird: !ubottu kernel? [23:10] so now that it's running what am I waiting for? I see outputs which don't mean very much to me. [23:11] Hi - excuse the intrusion but Linus could use some help: http://www.goedunews.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 [23:11] in any case, I need to log off and back on to test my fix on this box... guntbert, you wish to take a stab at getting jrenner's Ralink RT3062 going? [23:11] HTT-Bird: Good luck :-) [23:11] asdf_baron: does it get all the way to the end of the line? [23:11] yeah [23:11] marty: what does that link have to do with ubuntu tech support? cuz i dont see the connection [23:11] the command executed succesfully it seems [23:12] sounds weird, maybe your browser has trouble negotiating SSL? [23:12] yeah maybe [23:12] like I said tho, I need to relog on this box, o/ [23:12] kk sounds good [23:12] I'll try reinstalling my browsers or something [23:12] guntbert: wanna join me in my magical adventure to get my wireless card working :P [23:12] IMHO the only influence on technology that BG has had is a NEGATIVE one... Please vote for Linus: http://www.goedunews.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 [23:12] Hi everyone [23:13] jrenner: sorry, I'm leaving right now, but did you update your system recently? that should give you 2.6.32-24-generic [23:13] is their no backtrack servers?

[23:19] tortoise7: well then why use kmail ? === chuckleees is now known as pithdillinja [23:20] tortoise7 check your package manager to see if you have kwallet, try synaptic, if it has been installed, reinstall it. If it isnt installed, install it with synaptic, system>administration>synaptic [23:20] Does anyone know of a way to get GRUB to boot the system from the system on a LiveCD or a USB drive?

[23:22] maybe i get more attention if i ask to #kde ;) But I use gnome, the default one for Ubuntu [23:23] hmmm Google does not provide a 64 bit version of Google Earth for Ubuntu Linux [23:23] that sucks [23:24] n8 [23:24] quantum-ion, check out synaptic (system>administration>synaptic), and search for google earth, it worked on ubuntu 8.04 for me. [23:24] beepanda22, I am using Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64 Bit now [23:25] quantum-ion, just check synaptic, it could be there (i will check). i am running 32 bit. [23:25] Quantum_Ion: medibuntu offers googleearth [23:25] !medibuntu | Quantum_Ion [23:25] Quantum_Ion: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:26] Uh, I need help; my system locked with like, a screensaver? And then when I unlocked it the mouse wasnt responding [23:26] Now even when I turn it on it doesnt respond [23:26] and i cant login because, well, i cant click on the login thing [23:26] beepanda22, I tried the bin from Google directly and when I tried to install it said Google Earth 64 bit is not available for Ubuntu Linux [23:26] quantum-ion, it is there, in the form of googleearth-package. it is there for 32bit anyway. 32bit programs should? still work on 64bit === chuck__ is now known as pithdillinja [23:26] Quantum_Ion: medibuntu one will install ia32-libs for you and work (tm) [23:26] quantum-ion (in synaptic, not googles site [23:27] bye [23:28] PLEASE Have you idea how to order by name all application icons in 'Applications main menu'? [23:28] Well, ultimately I had to reinstall Ubuntu 10.04. [23:28] The ATI driver wasn't working, then somehow the boot partition stopped functioning. [23:28] All I want to know was the repository and info to get Java working for Chrome like I did before. [23:28] erUSUL, Okay I will check it out [23:28] anyone know an IRC channel for discussing selling of old books and ISBN codes etc?? [23:29] applecrumble: search channels with bookin the name --> /msg alis list *book* [23:30] applecrumble, selling used books is a hard thing to do but good luck [23:31] What are some good repositories to have added to Ubuntu 10.04 that won't break the system? [23:31] netsavy006, you are back up and running then.. [23:32] right now I am. [23:32] multivers univers restricted [23:32] I dont notice any difference from running 64 bit Linux vs 32 bit Linux [23:32] do i speed test [23:32] like get a stopwatch and time it [23:32] timpster, lol [23:32] netsavy006, try chromium dev ppa...and the partner repo.. and install sun java [23:32] from bios to login [23:33] timpster, download speeds are the same [23:33] and opening programs [23:33] Quantum_Ion, well think of a milk shake with 32 straws and another with 64 straws [23:33] coz_, LOL [23:33] right on netsavy006 !!!

I couldn't even boot as far as getting to "Grub" [23:34] like with a stopwatch [23:34] cya [23:34] awww,... sorry to hear that netsavy006 [23:34] duffydack: Thanks for the info, but I did ask a little quick cuz I did check and I can run java apps in Google Chrome for the moment. [23:35] but at least you're up and runnin then,... :) that's good news === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [23:35] netsavy006, well, (opinion) if you wanna test the latest chromes out, try dev.. its newer than stable but not as fresh as daily... [23:35] oh ok. Thanks. [23:36] daily seems to break some stuff, because its daily. [23:37] In my sources area I see this line: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner Do they have one that's not archive? [23:38] netsavy006, thats the partner repo [23:38] netsavy006, has sun java and flash etc. [23:38] So in the ubuntu software center I should check it off. [23:38] to enable it? [23:38] netsavy006, check it on to enable. [23:38] hello everyone [23:39] netsavy006, tick :) [23:39] netsavy006, its not enabled by default.. [23:39] is there a GUI to openssh-server? [23:39] Ok.

[23:40] I want to ensure I have it installed via all means. [23:40] netsavy006, flashplugin-installer and sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre === aner is now known as Wone [23:41] why would one use apt-get in terminal opposed to the Unix Software Center? [23:41] basix-, I am not sure and if no one here knows you could check with ##linux channel [23:41] netsavy006, apt/software centre/whatever [23:41] k thx coz [23:41] lol, and what is all that? [23:41] join #xchat [23:42] darn [23:42] Ok. It's all installed. [23:42] One more thing before I go. [23:42] netsavvy006, open up ubuntu software center, and search for flash and java, then click to install and enter your password and click ok, then it will install.when it is finished close ubuntu software center, and open firefox. you may want to read more about the software, so you could click more info and then install-free [23:43] hi, i accedentally deleted the lock files for apt-get while it was updating in the background. Now, if i try to install anything, it says that those lock files're not found [23:43] Can you give me the link to the manual again so that I can read it upon my leasure times, I'm going to really need to master linux if I don't want to keep having so many "issues". [23:43] sorry netsavvy006, i see you did it with help from somebody else :) [23:43] Does anyone know the solution? [23:44] why would one use apt-get in terminal opposed to the Unix Software Center? [23:44] rockhopper, have you used aptoncd and made a backup on cd [23:44] I havent read the manual myself.. I just read the man manuals personally. [23:44] I was already in terminal so it made since to complete it in terminal. [23:44] basix-, to do more than just install.. and more than 1 program at a time [23:44] hi [23:44] basix: i use apt-get cause the software center slows my machine down just by opening it [23:44] beepanda22, nope! [23:45] ok [23:45] Is it possible I could get the link to the manual so i could download it one more time? === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse [23:45] netsavy006, the Ubuntu manual? [23:45] yea, that's it TemperingPick. [23:45] http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [23:45] rockhopper, have you made any sort of backups? if you havent, insert your ubuntu cd that you installed ubuntu from (do not restart), and it will tell you there is software on the disc. dont click anything yet, somebody here should be able to tell you the rest. hope it helps. [23:45] Thank you very much. [23:46] No problem. [23:46] I'm going to be busy during the week, but I will definitely try to read the manual over the weekend next week. [23:46] beepanda22, I haven't made any sort of backups unfortunately [23:46] netsavvy006, you should go to http://ubuntu-manual.org for a beginners manual to ubuntu [23:46] Thank you everyone for helping me get though the transition to Linux. [23:46] netsavy006, we're always here as well :) [23:46] anyone know how to run xchat in a terminal [23:47] Thanks./ [23:47] rockhopper, try to do the above steps if possible [23:47] well, some of us have jobs. [23:47] larry just type xchat [23:47] if you havent, insert your ubuntu cd that you installed ubuntu from (do not restart), and it will tell you there is software on the disc. dont click anything yet, somebody here should be able to tell you the rest. hope it helps. [23:47] Well I have to go so I can relax a little and just do some basic things I can already do on linux for right now like browsing the web or email (stuff I know I won't break the system with). [23:47] i did but it says hld on [23:47] Have a great day / night./ [23:48] gtk warning can't display [23:48] ciao... [23:48] is there a way to increase the maximum copy buffer size? [23:48] netsavy006, you are welcome! i hope you enjoy using linux, you should download the pdf @ you should go to http://ubuntu-manual.org for a beginners manual to ubuntu. i hope you enjoy the linux experience, i do! [23:49] I need to dump about 1MB of log data from the console, it's irreproducable [23:49] coz_ it says gtk warning can't display [23:49] anyone used freebsd or opensolaris before? if so what are your thoughts? [23:49] samba client? === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [23:49] nvm bbl === Connor_ is now known as Connor1 [23:51] hey can any1 tell me y my browser is closing so slowly??(can it be because of Transmission?) [23:51] Sasquatch7: I've tried OpenSolaris before. It was okay. But I wouldn't use it now since Oracle is dumping it . [23:51] TemperingPick: thanks for the tip :) [23:51] !txtspeek [23:52] oops [23:52] Ludacris: you'll get a better response if you talk in English "any one" - not "any1" and "why" not "y" [23:52] hello. Can anyone help me please!! [23:52] rockhopper: ask the question [23:52] I accidentally deleted the lock files when the update's going on in the background [23:52] and now, nothing's installying [23:52] my compositing is acting strange. it was fine a couple of days ago, and now it suddenly stops working. when i log in, my compositing is disabled [23:52] rockhopper: that shouldn't cause an issue [23:53] hey can anyone tell me why my browser is closing so slowly??(can it be because of Transmission?) [23:53] rockhopper: if it's hung, you'll have to kill the client and restart it [23:53] Ludacris: closing, do you mean the windows physcially closing, or do you mean loading ? [23:53] after i click the X in the corner [23:54] Ludacris: possibly because something (transmission) is using your ram and disk IO up [23:54] ikonia, No. When i try to install something, it searches the packages, and then it gives an error message saying, it cant fine those lock files in /var/ something. [23:54] How is it that I mounted a remote filesystem and it shows up as being mounted but there is no path to the file system to reference a folder, for instance using netbeans, chose a remote server but when it is looking via sources folders there is nothing to select the remote filesystem [23:54] rockhopper: you could try touching the lock file to recreate it [23:54] ikonia, how do you touch a file? [23:54] with nano or vi? [23:54] TheMozart: "touch" is the command [23:54] okay, thanks because I was getting worried I might have a problem with my laptop [23:55] Oh.. [23:55] ikonia, ah [23:55] does touch /directory does the job? [23:55] overdub: no [23:55] rockhopper, we learned something new. how to touch a file :) [23:55] oops [23:55] my compositing is disabled on login, why does this keep happening? [23:55] rockhopper: no [23:56] Lol themozart's being touched i guess :P [23:57] hi.. im new using ubuntu. i have problems here about missing ip config. may i ask in this channel ? i try to googling / wiki this, but not found any related case. [23:57] my compositing is disabled on login, why does this keep happening? [23:57] ikonia, do i have to give any options while touching the file? [23:57] rockhopper: nope [23:57] or default does it? [23:58] rockhopper: don't know if this works, so it's a test [23:58] ok [23:58] brb, I'l try it [23:58] hi all. I want to install Lucid Lynx using the alternate installer on an Eee PC. I UNetbootin to move the iso files over to the flash drive but in the installer, I am repeatedly asked for a CD drive. This being an Eee PC, there is no CD drive and I don't currently have an external one at my disposal. Any suggestions? [23:58] How should i, a nerd be able to have sex? [23:58] does a period in a filename have a meaning? [23:59] itsux2bu: it means that file is hidden [23:59] MusicJunkieK1, not in the begining [23:59] does anyone have experience using sabayon to configure gnome for users on the system>? [23:59] i added 20 ip address in eth0, its work about 10 hours. but now, when i type ifconfig so i just see 3 of 20 ip's. i missing 17 another ip's. any suggestion ? [23:59] in the middle
