[00:04] hi, i'm trying to install the modem huawei mt810 on ubuntu 10.4; but i couldn't find any updated driver [00:05] hi for some reason my sound will not work after i installed ubuntu, do i need to update my drivers or something? [00:06] I'm attempting to backup my home directory before doing a reinstall, but I keep getting all kind of errors related to permissions. this is the first time I've had to do this, is there some sort of trick to it? Should I chmod 777 the whole directory? Should I use rsync? I've been trying to do it using gksudo nautilus, and just plain nautilus logged in to my account and other administrator accounts, but no luck. [00:08] hello [00:09] hi [00:09] [00:09] where can i find huawei mt810 drivers usb for ubuntu 10.4? [00:09] don't know if anyone else has this lil bug, but if I let my screen saver come on (blank and non-locking), when I come back to the screen I have to alt-tab or switch windows and back to type in the active window. Even if I click in window with th4e mouse. [00:10] not sure about the mouse clicking thing, but the screen saver takes focus, and it doesn't return it. i assume thats a bug...google "screensaveer taking focus ubuntu" perhaps? [00:11] ok i just installed Kubuntu desktop on my gnome desktop ubuntu install should i use gdm or kdm as the default x manager? [00:11] are u using any mod o something like that? [00:11] What package(s) do I need to install to get GNOME onto an Ubuntu Server install? [00:11] look: whichever you prefer [00:11] OFP_Ajax: http://forum.huawei.com/jive4/message.jspa?messageID=360651&tstart=0 [00:11] Mortuis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [00:12] Is Lucid Puppy linux related to Ubuntu? [00:12] Thanks rww [00:12] thx mickster I'll check that out [00:12] thanks rww [00:12] Omen_20: It uses Ubuntu packages, but it's not supported in this channel. [00:13] rww ok. I just checked their site and saw that and was curious. [00:13] Omen_20, #puppylinux [00:16] epiphany-browser still any good? [00:16] is it true that Shotwell will be the default photo manager in 10.10? [00:17] gary_inNYC: yes [00:17] gary_inNYC: yes, #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 discussion [00:17] olskolirc, ever since they switched to webkit it has sucked in my opinion. [00:17] thanks [00:18] Sad because it was my fav browser. Now I'm back to Chromium. [00:19] I like epiphany, personally ;P [00:20] hello, i want to know if i can use ubuntu in a netbook, one big issue is i need to encrypt all sensitive data on this device [00:20] any suggestion? [00:20] rww: Now that it's in its more mature form, it's quickly starting to top my list as well [00:20] cablop: yes ubuntu meets your needs [00:20] cablop: select the option to "Require password to logon and decrypt my home directory" on the user account step during installation [00:21] cablop: i am using a asus eeepc 900 now...and you can always encyrpt the home folder...just select it when you install ubuntu [00:21] The alternate install CD lets you encrypt the entire root fs. [00:22] psilo2: But what about those of us who put /home on it's own partition? [00:22] Then encryption of / is kinda moot [00:22] syn-ack: encrypt that, too. I was just augmenting. [00:22] Anyone ever set up tinyproxy over proxychains so it upstreams a SOCKS proxy? [00:22] syn-ack: hardly. /var/lib/mysql for one. /var/spool/mail. /var/* [00:23] rww, it's extremely slow for me. Like the rendering lags. I wish theyd have left gecko in it. [00:23] psilo2: that can be made moot by putting /var on it's own part as well, as a lot of server admins already do for added security [00:24] syn-ack: okay, then /var should be encrypted too. [00:24] There is a pattern here. [00:24] Also a lot of flash components don't work. [00:25] I put /var on it's own partition on my servers, but not for security [00:25] psilo2: The point is, why add to the overhead of encrypting the entire / when you can encrypt only the areas where it should be needed? [00:26] syn-ack: well, because it's a lot simpler than making every root-level directory its own partition and encrypting them all separately. The overhead is quite minimal, anyway. And finally, arguably, everything should be encrypted, so that when the disk falls into the hands of an attacker he has *nothing* [00:26] what if i loss my password or the system and need to recover the encrypted data? [00:27] cablop: out of luck if you lose decryption keys [00:27] I'm not an opponent of encryption by any means but I think it certainly should be done intelligently. [00:27] Encrypting / for a guy asking this sort of question is intelligent, complete, and easy. I don't think he's running /var partitions [00:28] ok, i just want to encrypt some portions of the system, to boot the system only if you have the key [00:28] :) [00:28] cause i need to encrypt some files outside the home folder, as the mysql database and svn repositories [00:28] Is it possible to write a bash script that automatically inputs the root password when running a command that requires it. For example, sudo apt-get update...It prompts you for the root password and I have to manually input it. Is there a way to have a script automatically do this? [00:29] Sasquatch7: that sounds like a really bad idea [00:29] whats the point of the password if it just autofills it? [00:29] Sasquatch7: Why not just create a root cron job then you don't have to worry about that [00:29] mickster04: I know, but i like bad ideas. [00:29] (If you're looking to run apt automagically like in your question) [00:29] syn-ack: that sounds interesting, what is that? [00:30] so i'm trying to disable the control+alt+d shortcut, but even after disabling it in the preferences -> keyboard shortcuts list, and rebooting, it still minimizes everything -_- how do I disable it? [00:30] Sasquatch7: it's like the windows scheduler. from your command prompt type "man cron" without the quotes and check it out [00:30] syn-ack: cheers [00:31] Sasquatch7: mind you, it's not going to work for everything nor should it, but for something like apt, I've done that many times [00:31] Sasquatch7: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1132821 [00:31] Hell, I update my apt repo server with rsync and a cron job [00:32] <_kettle_> Someone please enlighten me. For an inserted USB drive, what's the difference between "Eject", "Unmount" and "Safely remove drive"? [00:32] syn-ack: Cool. [00:32] bcbc2: thanks [00:32] How can I mount a windows xp share that has no password? [00:33] Evening All. [00:33] Why is my memory usage so high on my web server? [00:33] it has 4gb of ram but when I do free -m it shows like 200mb free :S [00:33] Bullterd: Caching. [00:33] !memory [00:33] If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [00:33] Bullterd: look at the +/- cache column. That's the real number. [00:33] <_kettle_> Bullterd: Linux is very good at buffering stuff [00:33] Mem: 3923 3774 149 0 987 1995 [00:34] 3774 being used 149 being free - is that normal? :) [00:34] Bullterd: and 1995 is cached [00:34] whats the best way to backup my user settings only? [00:35] <_kettle_> Bullterd: what do you want free memory for? :) Isn't it better that it's being used to cache stuff to speed things up? You don't have a problem until you can't allocate memory - has that happened? [00:35] Zelozelos: user settings are in files that start with . in your home dir [00:35] maco so the best way is to just copy them? [00:36] Zelozelos: yep [00:36] kk ty [00:36] Zelozelos: I saw I have 200mb of mem free and panicked a little, heh. [00:36] In other news, any ideas how I get temprature sensors working with SNMP? [00:37] Bullterd, does lm sensors work? [00:38] hey all. Just installed 10.04 on a MacBook. Trackpad works like crap, I have to press very hard on it to operate it, and it constantly loses my finger position. What do I have to do to get the trackpad working properly on Apple laptop hardware?? [00:39] Bullterd: what is snmp??? or do you mean simple network management protocol...how is that suppoed to work? [00:40] zeleftikam: see wiki page for macbook 4,1, has directions [00:41] zeleftikam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Lucid#Trackpad ! [00:41] I'm getting input/output errors from a mounted drive on Amazon ec2. Should I just unmount and remount it. It's mysql that I have mounted as a drive, and it's now unreadable for some reason. [00:44] im using 10.04, from this article http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ it says to delete .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 and (.metacity .gnome) i found .gconf .gconfd and .gnome2 in /home/user/ ,, are .metacity and .gnome found somewhere else / do i need to copy them as well? [00:44] jrib thanks very much :) [00:44] I have the irssi-otr plugin, but I can't find how to identify it. [00:44] Zelozelos: does it say what to copy [00:45] Zelozelos: no problem [00:45] oops [00:45] wait, that's not right. Can't find how to activate it. [00:45] Rummage: [00:45] tok jrib [00:45] Rummage: /load scriptname.pl [00:45] I just downloaded 10.04 on my desktop, and am trying to get my Linksys WUSB100 Wireless USB adapter to work.. I can't. Would anyone here know how to go about doing that? [00:46] Zelozelos: They should be in your ~/ as well [00:46] mickster04, that article is basically telling me to remove those directories in order to restore a users account to default w/o deleting the user [00:47] Zelozelos: if the files aren't there, I wouldn't worry about deleting them. [00:47] so i basically fig'd that if i copy those n use them to replace the ones it says to delete for a simple way to save some of those settings in case i need to do that again [00:47] Zelozelos: so why do you ask about copying anyting? [00:47] hello [00:47] ola [00:48] i was beggining to think my mirc wasn't working, ppl were not responding to my greetings! [00:48] syn-ack, the ones in ~/ wold be the default set wouldnt they? [00:48] can anyone help me set up a web site (lol) its been too long... [00:49] d3s3rt3gl: what do you mean set up a website? [00:49] Gah, can't find the name of it. [00:49] I just downloaded 10.04 on my desktop, and am trying to get my Linksys WUSB100 Wireless USB adapter to work.. I can't. Would anyone here know how to go about doing that? [00:50] i know it's not ubuntu help.. but other channels aren't answering [00:50] Rummage: what did you download? [00:50] Zelozelos: Yeah, they're created when you first log in [00:50] mickster04: basically i need a kind person to explain to me some terms and how to get my domain name to point to my apache server.. [00:50] mickster04: irssi-plugin-otr [00:51] d3s3rt3gl: login to your account where you registered the domain name. put in the IP address of your server. hit submit. the end. [00:51] but i have a dynamic ip address [00:51] d3s3rt3gl: then you need dyndns [00:51] done [00:51] d3s3rt3gl: or something like it [00:51] so i must be close to the end [00:51] what is the importance of a "custom dns" [00:52] d3s3rt3gl dyndns with ddclient or some router has this capability built in [00:52] Rummage: it must be a .pl fil [00:52] maco: that's assuming he uses the ISP's nameservers. [00:52] e [00:52] i should explain this way, i want to backup only my background, panel, theme, gnome-do settings, and compiz. im not worried about backing up my files because i do that manually on a 2nd hd as far as progs its a simple list [00:52] psilo2: huh? [00:52] psilo2: nameservers propogate [00:52] well thats the confusing part psilo2 [00:52] d3s3rt3gl: I use no-ip check them out [00:52] maco: er, registrars. [00:52] Zelozelos: what is your question? [00:52] maco: registrars want money to host your DNS. [00:52] jrib that is my q [00:53] Zelozelos: there's no question :/ [00:53] Is there a good bittorrent client for ubuntu that isnt Azureus? Azureus is annoying now that they are owned by some media company. [00:53] psilo2: er... dns is usually included in domain registration [00:53] jrib did u see the rest of my statements [00:53] Zelozelos: no. I just got here and read one line. [00:53] wahoo: whats wrong with transmition [00:53] psilo2: ive never found a way to setup dns with anyone other than the registrar... [00:53] i only paid 15 bucks so it did not come with dns [00:53] wahoo: transmission, deluge, ktorrent... [00:53] rofl, i want to backup only those settings, i ws wondering the best way [00:54] maco: hm, I must be using the wrong guys. godaddy/directnic/aplus in my experience all wanted extra service fees [00:54] Zelozelos: in general with a large channel like #ubuntu you shouldn't split things up on multiple lines unless you're addressing someone [00:54] psilo2: i reg'd with 123-reg.co.uk [00:54] d3s3rt3gl: again no-ip is free and does what you asked for. it even comes with an autoupdate client so it keeps you up to date if your ip address cahnges [00:54] mickster04: I found libotr.so and when I loaded it, it started giving me logically relevant information re: the network (basically if anyone else is using it) [00:54] maco: I'll keep it in mind [00:54] I need some help getting my wireless adapter from Linksys hooked up with Ubuntu 10.04. Could someone help? [00:54] psilo2: no im not in the uk, but godaddy doesnt do .name [00:54] Rummage: good [00:54] Zelozelos: copy them somewhere? Have you seen the backup page on the wiki for more complete backup solutions? [00:54] !backup > Zelozelos [00:54] Zelozelos, please see my private message [00:55] I could be mistaken but most domain registrars allow redirection to another domain name. Ideally, a dyndns name or something of the sort, that'll work with your dynamic IP. [00:55] Guess that's all, thanks folks. [00:55] where to paste pic ? [00:55] !paste [00:55] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:55] Zelozelos: i dont know about gnome-do but the rest of the things you named are stored in gconf [00:55] awsome ty maco [00:55] zhxk: imagebin, imageshack, etc [00:57] Manual for --pakdir option of checkinstall is still unclear to me. Can someone clarify? [01:00] When I try to start my networking I got the error: No such device. Falied to bring up eth0 [01:01] Why? How can I setup it? [01:01] zesoze: then it can't find the lan port [01:01] zesoze: terminal and run ifconfig and tell me what it outputs [01:01] only lo interface [01:02] zesoze: are you using a pc or a laptop, and is the bios set up to have those devices enabled [01:02] It is a VM ... [01:02] is a ubuntu server (guest) under windows(host) [01:03] I am using a VirtualBox Bridge Network [01:03] but Ubuntu does not recognize my adapter eth0 [01:03] zesoze: well you haven't set it up right then i'm afraid, I won't be able to heolp as i haven't used that befre [01:04] ok thx mickster04 [01:04] is there a way to block the hability of an user to right click on the desktop, and change its theme? [01:04] datacrusher: I think "sabayon" wants to achieve that, i.e. locking down users. [01:04] iv locked all I needed with sabayon, but i got an annoying user that changes the theme to big letters with high contrast... [01:05] How can I make new files writable to the group instead of just the owner? [01:05] Muelli, do you know specifically whete in sabayon i can disable that? [01:05] datacrusher: nope [01:05] bcgrown: chmod g+w myfile [01:05] Muelli: I know, but what about when I create another file? [01:06] Muelli: if you want to change the permission on newly created files, google for "umask". it's a bit weird though so be prepared ;-) [01:06] hrm ok [01:06] Muelli: as if linux permissions weren't weird enough to start with [01:06] Hello. Which official Ubuntu repository contains "unstable" software? I'm specifically looking for version 1.0.1 of couchdb, to install on 10.04. I know I could install from source, but I don't want to mess with my package dependencies. [01:06] ;-) [01:07] Muelli, Iv noticed that after a while in the screensaver as well, the screen goes blank, and i deactivated on sabayon all power saving configurations... is there other place i must change someghint? [01:07] where I ubuntu I cat set de MAC address for a network adapter? [01:08] datacrusher: I'm sorry. I don't know anything about sabayon besides the fact that it exists :-/ [01:08] zesoze: try "macchanger". [01:08] Muelli: umask makes sense if you think about it in binary. i thought the whole point of an OS was to avoid thinking in binary, though. [01:08] bcgrown: it's octal ;-) [01:09] so one higher level *g* [01:09] Muelli: meh, it's just a representation of binary. Now on a serious note, is it possible to reload /etc/profile without rebooting? [01:09] bcgrown: yes. [01:09] bcgrown: source /etc/profile [01:10] or ". /etc/profile" in bash [01:10] I was about to download the updated 10.04.1 desktop to upgrade some my other machines in the house and the download recommends 32bit and says 64 bit not recommended for daily desktop usage. Can someone elaborate why ? I have been using 64 bit version on most my dual core machines for a few versions now [01:10] Muelli: thanks. woohoo my problem has disappeared :) [01:11] bcgrown: brilliant :-) Glad to be able to help :) [01:11] Muelli, oh, ok... and got a big bug that im waiting to be solved :D [01:11] ill mess arround a little more with it then, thanks anyway [01:11] datacrusher: well. you know, bugs usually don't resolve themselve ;-) So do an apt-get source sabayon and start hacking on it! [01:12] hipitihop: where does it say that? [01:12] Muelli: thanks :) [01:12] hipitihop: I only can image that some non-free software, such as Adobes flash player, does not run in 64bit mode natively. [01:12] Muelli, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [01:12] I don't seem to have sound output (just installed kde and am using it.) how would I troubleshoot this? [01:13] hipitihop: uh. indeed. funny. Yeah. indeed a bit weird. As I've said, I can only imagine the Flash player being the problem. [01:13] Muelli, and that is is still a problem ? iow, it runs in that buggy 32bit wrapper ? [01:14] Muelli, surelly will. [01:14] changing topics, anyone have tested the recent relased google talk / video plugin for linux in ubuntu? [01:14] hello [01:14] halo [01:14] how can i set up raid5 on linux? [01:14] hipitihop: *shrug* it usually works fine for me... [01:15] Muelli, haven't noticed problems either [01:15] ! raid | Stavros [01:15] Stavros: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:15] soreau: that fakeraid page has a huge warning on top of it, though [01:15] I have a WUSB100 Wireless Adapter and I can't seem to get it to connect with 10.04. Could anyone help? [01:16] so is there an official pov why the download page does not recommend 64 bit desktop for daily use ? [01:16] Stavros: Guess you know to backup before you break it [01:16] soreau: hmm, right... can i set up lvm after i've installed ubuntu? [01:17] Stavros: You should do all of that stuff at installation time [01:17] aw [01:17] well hipitihop. I don't know anything official, but other proprietary drivers (video or wifi come to mind) might be a problem, too. [01:17] well i have four new disks on which i want to set up raid, there must be a way to do it... [01:18] Muelli, ok thanks [01:19] hipitihop, many view it as a "bug" with the web site -- see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [01:19] hello folks, what is the preferred ubuntu equivalent to the KWallet program? [01:19] pondering if there's a nice web gui tool for providing access to squid stats and dansguardian config... for a non-technical person [01:21] tortoise7: probably gnome-keyring-manager [01:22] how do I stop pulseaudio? [01:22] ZykoticK9, thanks [01:22] ...hello? [01:23] lahwran: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop [01:23] that didn't help it's still running [01:23] lahwran, you might want to check out "pasuspender" to temporarily stop it [01:23] muelli: thank you, i forgot however, to specify the ability to interface with Kmail, (which i prefer over Evolution) [01:23] ZykoticK9, I want rid of it!! [01:23] * lahwran removes pulseaudio [01:24] Well, I have a success story! Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit on my new Acer Aspire 5100 and everything BUT the webcam works fine! I was set-back when the wireless just worked - I expected to configure that and didn't have to! The webcam - meh I'm not interested in that anyway. So, out of the box 10.04 is a champ on an Aspire 5100! [01:24] lahwran: remove the pulseaudio package [01:24] just did. [01:24] IT'S STILL RUNNING!!! [01:24] lahwran: then reboot [01:24] * lahwran is very very angry at pulseaudio; it's blocking all sound I/O [01:25] kpkarl, reboot takes 10 minutes on this machine ... thanks to grub [01:25] lahwran: then try killing the pulseaudio process [01:26] hello, knows someone a good alternative to dyndns.com without nag email every 30-days? [01:26] YAY NOW THAT PULSE IS GONE SOUND WORKS!!! [01:26] thank you very much, kpkarl [01:27] and SCREW PULSE!! [01:27] lahwran: no problem, I'm glad to help [01:27] Hey everyone. I have a desktop computer and a netbook. Can I hook up my desktop to my netbook through eth0 and have my desktop use the internet from wlan0 on the netbook? I think I have to get routing software?

I was gonna suggest IPtables, what in the world? [01:28] psh iptables. NetworkManager makes it trivial these days :) [01:28] networkmanager is annoying like pulse quite often though >.> [01:28] an ephemeral type of annoying that never seems to cause me problems ;P [01:29] lahwran: rww: the ics page also suggest iptables [01:29] I have a WUSB100 Wireless Adapter and I can't seem to get it to connect with 10.04. Could anyone help? [01:29] eboyjr: it has the way to do it with networkmanager, then the way to do it with iptables [01:29] I see [01:29] I note which method is short and which method is horribly long and confusing :) [01:32] rww: It doesn't mention anything about ports.. I have a web server on the desktop on port 80 [01:32] I have no idea how that'd work with it [01:32] haven't ever tried [01:33] rww: Okay thanks === lap_dragon is now known as xbox|smiler [01:40] Can NetworkManager also give me a static IP? :P [01:41] static internal or external ip? [01:41] Is there a good app to use to manage and iPod on ubuntu? I want it to be a music manager and player like Amarok 1.4 used to be. [01:41] Rhythmbox [01:41] ThomasB2k: Internal -- so my router gives a computer the same IP each time.. It doesn't support the Static LAN feature [01:42] ThomasB2k: I have not had luck with Rhythmbox [01:42] that's basically your only option JuJuBee [01:42] If you want just ipod management, try gtkpod or Hipo [01:43] JuJuBee: You can still install Amarok I believe [01:43] eboyjr: 1.4 you mean? [01:43] http://pastebin.com/racKp5wi < old post, same problem... 10.04 [01:43] how can I get ls to print filenames and the sizes like with -h, but without all the other flags you get with -l [01:43] I switched over to 2.x some time ago. I used to manage my iPod with a windows machine, but recently took the plunge to use linux exclusively [01:43] seems to occur if I mount /dev/sdb as ext3 [01:44] blue: have a go at du -h [01:44] JuJuBee: Amarok runs on Linux.. But it will look a little different in Gnome I believe [01:45] eboyjr: I have used amarok on linux [01:45] JuJuBee: You can find a deb file for Amarok 1.4 somewhere maybe? [01:45] JuJuBee: Is 1.4 the only version that supports ipods? [01:45] Seems 2.x is not able to manage iPods yet. Cant believe the dropped that support. [01:46] JuJuBee, Amarok is in the Software Center [01:46] 2.x is an abortion, I'm sorry. I am in shock at what they did to amarok. [01:46] I second that [01:46] psilo2: there's probably a better way of expressing that :S [01:46] hi [01:46] does anybody know where the google chrome bookmarks are kept in my system? [01:46] rww: yes, but profanity is against the rules [01:47] I have a WUSB100 Wireless Adapter and I can't seem to get it to connect with 10.04. Could anyone help? [01:47] what can I use for a pentium 3 computer? It's going to be used by my grandma, so it has to be as simple as possible. She'll be using some word processing program and internet... [01:47] she isn't comuter literate [01:47] is there something really simple? [01:47] Agu10, Abiword and Chrome [01:48] adamr41: Does iwconfig show a wifi interface? [01:48] make sure you set her email as her chrome homepage :p [01:48] soreau: how would I get to iwconfig? I'm way new to this. :/ [01:48] I mean what distro can I use? [01:48] oh [01:48] Ubuntu :D [01:48] why abiword and not open office? [01:48] hi [01:49] i get a bunch of 'ignoring file' statements on my apt-get installs, can someone please help? http://pastebin.com/5MNJuh6q [01:49] and why ubuntu and not xubuntu? or even a faster one... [01:49] Can Xubuntu even be considered lightweight anymore [01:49] adamr41: It is a command you run in your terminal [01:49] Agu10: I might even just give her chrome + google docs [01:49] ! terminal | adamr41 [01:49] Ubuntu is the most complete. I'd recommend Lubuntu but it isn't that "complete". It's simpler Agu10. just use alacarte and hide all of the options besides Chrome and Abiword, and maybe calculator and a few things. [01:49] adamr41: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:49] psilo2: yes. [01:49] Niglop: ~/.config/google-chrome/Defaults/Bookmarks [01:50] Agu10, Ubuntu is the most complete. I'd recommend Lubuntu but it isn't that "complete". It's simpler Agu10. just use alacarte and hide all of the options besides Chrome and Abiword, and maybe calculator and a few things. [01:50] thanks norstrom [01:50] np [01:50] soreau: so I punched iwconfig into the terminal, what should I be looking for exactly? [01:51] ThomasB2k, can I make it so that she won't ever need to know what a "directory" or a "folder" is? [01:51] Yes, you can. [01:51] adamr41: wlan0 or any wifi interface [01:51] ThomasB2k, is there something for this kind of people? [01:51] like converting your PC into a cellphone? [01:52] soreau: alright, wlan0 is there, and it has my wireless network etc displayed. [01:52] Unfortunately not, but Ubuntu is very customizable Agu10 in many ways. By just hiding some folders and removing items from the GNOME Menu, Ubuntu can be made very simple. [01:52] adamr41: That typically means a driver is successfully loaded for the card [01:52] As well as some other things Agu10 [01:53] yeah, but the problem is you will always need to do some stuff [01:53] like browsing to upload a document :S [01:53] adamr41: Now try: sudo iw wlan0 scan|grep -i ssid [01:53] Not necessarily Agu10, just bookmark pages. [01:53] adamr41: You may have to install iw, but that command should show wireless networks detected [01:54] soreau: I have no internet access to install iw. [01:54] ThomasB2k, I mean, browsing your own folders to look for a document you created [01:54] Adamr41, don't you have a flash drive or something. [01:54] Agu10, you can bookmark folders in nautilus. [01:54] anyways, should I install xubuntu or lubuntu? which is bette [01:54] adamr41: Try iwlist instead of iw [01:55] ThomasB2k, oh... [01:55] Just use regular Ubuntu Agu10 [01:55] adamr41: iwlist should already be installed IIRC [01:55] isn't xubuntu or lubuntu faster? [01:55] it's a pentium 3... [01:55] soreau: okay, "ESSID: "LASTNAME Home Network", but I can't establish a continuous connection with it. [01:56] I don't know why web pages are becoming more and more slower :S [01:56] Yes, but neither of them have Nautilus support by default and stuff. They're a bit harder to use and less supported. Ubuntu works very well on basically any type of processor, as long as it's not toooo old. Just disable compiz effects and stuff Agu10. [01:56] adamr41: So your drivers are working, now you just have to connect. Do you see the network icon in your notification area? [01:56] i was under the impression that lubuntu was leaner than xubuntu, but i had better luck with xfce [01:56] soreau: mhm. [01:57] adamr41: do you see the network there when you click on it? [01:57] ThomasB2k, should I install ubuntu and then install XFCE? or just leave gnome as default [01:57] Just leave GNOME [01:57] soreau: yeah, clicked it, and now the notification is doing a little animation. [01:57] ..on a p3. I use Ubuntu ordinarily [01:57] can you run chromic OS without internet connection? [01:58] Yes and No, because files are stored online. Without internet, your grandma won't be able to access her files. [01:58] adamr41: As long as you have set the encryption type correctly (if any), it should connect. [01:59] ok, then I'll go with ubuntu. thanks very much [01:59] If you need any help, just ask me Agu10. [02:00] rawr [02:00] lol [02:00] wake up room [02:00] no [02:01] rww: thx [02:01] which is the app, that displays my cpu and ram status on top of the gnome task bar? [02:01] zzzed: you're welcome [02:01] system monitor? [02:02] gnome-system-monitor [02:02] any idea why gnome-terminal and xchat combined could be using half my cpu each? [02:02] Right Click > Add To Panel > System Monitor meatbun [02:03] soreau: I type everything in correctly, hit connect.. but it doessn't, and I get the same prompt asking for authentification. [02:03] oh wait nevermind, cpu is in use 20% and they're using half of THAT each === TheTick is now known as presuntorj [02:03] how to tell where a particular slice is mounted? [02:04] lahwran: still sounds like a lot of }CPU [02:04] what's the distro with more eye-candy? [02:04] well then, any idea why? [02:04] ubuntu [02:04] adamr41: What encryption type is there? [02:04] might it be kubuntu's desktop effects? [02:04] randomusr_: "mount" [02:04] lahwran, really? [02:04] ThomasB2k: Can RhythmBox sync with iPod? I just unstalled it and added my library but I can't see how to sync/copy a playlist to an iPod [02:04] Agu10: you can enable even mpre advanced xompiz effects like the cube etc [02:04] soreau: its WPA [02:04] compiz [02:04] there's no distro dedicated to eye-candy? [02:04] specifically? [02:05] Agu10: eye candy is compiz [02:05] No JuJuBee, for that you need gtkpod or Hipo [02:05] Agu10, I think there is. maybe linux mint? (maybe?) but it's not a lot better than ones that aren't [02:05] Agu10, theiy are all based on the same ideas and packages... I would go with ubuntu mostly cause I used to how easy it usually is to do stuff, including eye-candy [02:05] Some distros with eye candy are Manhattan OS, Kubuntu, and Mint [02:05] Agu10: you can enable more eye candy easly in pretty mutch any distro [02:05] gogeta, well, that's motion effects, but I mean also the icons and themes [02:05] adamr41: Not sure then, maybe try reloading the driver (or rebooting if you dont know how to reload it) [02:05] ThomasB2k: ok, so can gtkpod import playlists from rhythmbox? Don't want to duplicate my efforts. [02:05] I won't vouch for kubuntu's eyecandy; it's soooo slllooowwww.... [02:05] Jordan_U, how about listing all slices? [02:06] I honestly don't know JuJuBee, sorry [02:06] Agu10, icons and themes are easily changed and installed [02:06] randomusr_: sudo blkid [02:06] Agu10: i woulda say kde based then its to dammed pretty [02:06] k, tanx anyway [02:06] Agu10: have enough time and patience you can make all distro look exactally the same [02:06] adamr41: Have you connected with this device and router before btw? [02:06] coz_, the thing is I can't find any themes I really like [02:06] Agu10, and with compiz there is a script to add about 20 experimental plugins as well as a script to test the 0.9.0 compiz in C++ [02:06] soreau: not in Ubuntu, it works just fine in Windows though. [02:07] Agu10, well you can go to gnome-look.org and on the left choose GTK2 [02:07] ThomasB2k, no. that's not it [02:07] coz_, ok, thanks [02:07] I think I prefer KDE for eye-candy [02:07] Agu10, these will be the themes that theme the window interiors etc [02:07] adamr41: That is strange. Maybe its a driver issue, in which case to upgrade you would just upgrade the whole kernel. [02:07] ThomasB2k, i had older version of ubuntu. it used to display an interactive status icon with bars [02:07] Agu10: i prefer speed over look but to eatch his own [02:07] Agu10: but than again, the eyecandy is in the eye of the beholder... one may prefer Gnome in Ubuntu, someone else may love KDE in SuSE... you have to try the options, there is no substitute to your own experience [02:07] Agu10, I have used most of the DE's and I still prefer gnome although I now use Edubuntu because of the east of i nstallation of kde applications along with it [02:08] soreau: hmm... sounds hard to do without an internet connection. [02:08] Meatbun, perhaps it was Conky [02:08] now i am trying to find that same app. but i dont see it on 10.04. ThomasB2k [02:08] Agu10: or kbuntu for a kde based ubuntu [02:08] adamr41: Have you a hardwire connection to the router? [02:08] Agu10, if you download and burn the minimal cd you can choose any of those for installation [02:08] soreau: No. the router is on a different floor, otherwise i'd gladly ethernet it. [02:08] coz_, ok [02:09] Hey i'm building vlc from source and i keep getting "configure: error: Could not find libavcodec or libavutil." even thou i've installed it? [02:09] Agu10, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:09] thanks [02:09] Agu10, however this is NOT a live cd [02:09] oh, I see [02:09] Agu10, this is a test install easily followed however there will be a point where you will get a list of what to install [02:09] ozatomic: you need to install the -dev versions of those packages [02:09] adamr41: got a wireless issue you can use nids wrapper its on the live cd [02:10] ThomasB2k, nope. conky = gkrelm? [02:10] Agu10, at that point the arrows keys scroll the menu and the "space" bar chooses [02:10] gogeta: mkay. i'll check that out. [02:10] kpkarl: yeah i have libavcodec-dev and libavutil-dev [02:10] adamr41: all you need is your wifi driver inf to send over to ubuntu [02:10] Agu10, edubuntu with the gnome desktop offers both kde and gnome libraries and applications [02:10] Jordan_U, under "Places" i had shown two 17 gb partitions which I believe both mounted to media. Is the because I haven't set up automount? [02:10] Agu10, the edubuntu kde desktop does not but does have all of the kde niceness [02:11] randomusr_: Though you're mixing terminogy a bit oddly. Are you talking about BSD slices, what BSD calls partitions, or what are generally in linux terms called primary, extended, and logical partitions? [02:11] adamr41: the packeg is on the live cd but you have yto install it manuly [02:11] adamr41: Maybe you need this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=907809 [02:11] Jordan_U, errr..... Logical partitions [02:11] ozatomic: then I'm not sure what it could be. [02:11] exit [02:12] I was trying to fix some blown highlights in a water shot.. unfortunately it didn't do what I wanted.. 4am? you in England? [02:12] Hi. Just upgraded my laptop from 9.10 to 10.04 and none of my windows have title bars or decorators, and the menu bar covers the top. I can't move them. I also have one desktop instead of four. I tried setting appearance, and it didn't do anything. I went into preference windows and it said it didn't know what my window manager was, though I'm running Gnome. Any clues? [02:13] adamr41: To compile anything, you will at least need to install the build-essential package which can be installed from the ubuntu cd [02:13] ! compile | adamr41 [02:13] adamr41: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:13] apt-get error: i get a bunch of 'ignoring file' statements on my apt-get installs, can someone please help? http://pastebin.com/5MNJuh6q [02:13] randomusr_: Partitions on internal drives aren't mounted at boot by default. If you want them to be then add them to /etc/fstab.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:13] soreau: alright. i'll try this out.. and come back on if things don't work out. thanks for the help. :) [02:13] Agu10, coz_, have in mind you can have installed later the other library and window manager - the first KDE app you install in Ubuntu makes it compatible with KDE and vice-sersa... there is even a meta-package to "transform" a ubuntu instalation (Gnome) to Kubuntu (KDE): kubuntu-desktop [02:14] Agu10, and vice-versa ... ubuntu-desktop [02:14] Jordan_U, does mount make a call to bind in order to work? [02:15] presuntorj, yeah. I tried installing kde desktop on ubuntu, but it screw everything up [02:15] :S [02:15] dj_segfault: first make sure the metacity package is installed, then try running "metacity" (without the quotes) from the terminal [02:15] h:D done tat, been there [02:15] randomusr_: No. [02:16] presuntorj, yes that is true however... i have found that edubuntu is much faster than if you installed kde stuff onto an existing ubuntu install [02:16] can anyone help me with an offline install of b43-fwcutter? [02:16] Hi everyone. [02:16] presuntorj, not sure how ,, but they did this rather well [02:16] Thanks Jordan_U [02:16] I'm not sure if you are allowed to help me with this problem but here it goes. [02:16] coz_ sure... [02:16] kpkarl: That did it! How do I make that permanent? [02:16] randomusr_: You're welcome.

Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [02:17] I like to play with the OS, so I don't usually get my linux quite stable :P [02:17] I am trying to use PlayOnLinux to play Sims3. Sims3 installed successfully, and will start to a point and then ask for the disk, which is already in my computer. What do I need to do to get Sims 3 to work? [02:17] I tried to ask on other forums but I couldn't complete registration. [02:17] ThomasB2k, i installed conky, it wont pop out when executed from cmd [02:17] use a keygen! [02:17] Agu10: best not to go there. [02:17] I'm using PlayOnLinux 3.7.7 [02:17] dj_segfault: try restarting your computer, if that doesn't work: add the metacity command to the startup applications [02:17] ooops, I meant a crack [02:17] Agu10: there either. [02:18] :) [02:18] kpkarl: OK, thanks. Any idea what causes that problem? [02:18] that's one solution, I think [02:18] netsavy006, this one I have no clue to offer you ...sorry [02:18] coz_ the versions of the applications are exactally the same (specially if you update it over the internet)... it is particularly faster to have it ready if you want the computer with both library "kits", since you don't need to download megabytes later... Not sure what could explain the "better perfomace" if you get the apps from edubuntu (besides the little GUI tweaks and wizards) [02:18] i've been following the b43-fwcutter offline guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43 - No Internet access . but when i get to sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver , i get this error: Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by b43-fwcutter. This file has an unknown MD5sum d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e. [02:18] dj_segfault: I'm not sure, it probably was just an error while upgrading [02:18] netsavy006: I think you gota ask the playonlinux folks. since it is based on wine, you _could_ try wine's appdb also [02:18] presuntorj, have you run edubuntu? [02:18] Fair enough. Thanks. Going down.... [02:18] coz_ I think I'll have a try on my system as well... lets see how it benchmarch with me [02:19] I couldn't register on PlayOnLinux's Forums. [02:19] I'm having cdrom issues too, installing apache on server 10.04 using sudo, keeps asking to insert cdrom [02:19] coz_ a thousand years ago [02:19] PlayOnLinux = tuned Wine? [02:19] coz_ 2006 LTS if I am not mistaken [02:19] hello [02:19] presuntorj, I think you may be impressed ... I also used this ages ago but I am definitly impressed so much that I have made a permanent swtich to eduubuntu unless elementaryOS proves better :) [02:19] Where can I get sims 3 cracks that will work on the PlayOnLinux? [02:20] why did ubuntu ask me to register my nickname ... [02:20] netsavy006, wrong place to ask about "cracks" [02:20] oh ok. [02:20] netsavy006, cracks are usually ilegal though :S [02:20] netsavy006, we dont talk about cracks here ... we talk about opensource which is free and no cracks necesary :) [02:21] mostly due to the Remote Access (LTSP) === chaz_ is now known as chaz [02:21] gkrellm work in windows?

[02:21] Agu10 and coz_ I understand. [02:21] why xchat asks me to register ubuntu cahnnerl nick name ???? i did but isn;t that a privacy breach and against privacy and GNU ?? [02:21] woohoo hello [02:22] anyone know why it keeps asking for cdrom when installing anything on server 10.04? [02:22] is this server like ubuntu all purpose? [02:22] I heared RMS once said he didn't ever like to have password on any computer [02:22] like for chilling, and tech support and general rabble rousing, cheering etc? [02:22] cloud server [02:22] dr3mro: Chances are he encrypts his shit with 4096 bit.

I always think freenode is PG-13, when sometimes it's G. [02:24] is there a way to freeze my Empathy screen preventing it from rolling to the end on every post? [02:24] HeTaL, no he was speaking about the start of project gnu and how they made OS that you can log in with out password :) and he asked all his colleagues not to use password [02:24] HeTaL: some channels are less G rated then others but Ubuntu IRC policy is family friendly :) [02:24] Yeah, I get it. Sorry. :p [02:24] i installed conky, it wont pop out when executed from cmd [02:24] ok. i downloaded a possible one. [02:24] HeTaL, why ubuntu IRC needs me to register ?? why ??? now you can track me by my email ?? you can spam my inbox ??? and all that is against privacy [02:25] ok IdleOne , i was just wondering if it was a mix of social and tech stuff [02:25] or just like the official technical discussion for the ubuntu project [02:25] but now I need an application for ubuntu that will open rar and other types of files like that. [02:25] or also a fan community. [02:25] i see there are lots of independent channels :) [02:25] !rar [02:25] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [02:25] netsavy006, sudo apt-get install rar [02:25] netsavy006, that should take of everything except 7z [02:25] Syme: this channel is for Ubuntu support, #ubuntu-offtopic is social [02:25] dr3mro: Personally I think RMS is the extremity. He doesn't want 99% freedom, he wants 100%, and like speed in a car, it's hard to go that extra 1% [02:25] cool [02:26] not sure whether to ask this here or in postgres, but after sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start I get [OK] but then "psql -Ublah" gives me "psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory..." [02:27] is there much different between flash and java from windows and linux? [02:27] cached: Seems like a psql problem. I would recommend you ask it in their channel for faster help. [02:27] HeTaL, so why ubuntu IRC wants me to register ? [02:28] Niglop: Not much. [02:28] i'm getting this error on boot. udevd-work (897): exec of program /lib/udev/scsi_id failed. and i get several similar problem and ubuntu failedto load. anyone know what is his error about. [02:28] HeTaL: hmm okay. i just realized i can run it as the postgres user. does this shed any light on anything? [02:28] Niglop: on linux, flash has no hardware acceleration. [02:28] ah [02:28] thnx [02:28] i'm getting a weird error with apt-get, can someone please help? [02:28] http://pastebin.com/5MNJuh6q [02:28] cached: Never used it, so can't help. Sorry. [02:28] dr3mro: Spam? Statistics? [02:29] whats hardware acceleration? :p [02:29] dr3mro: because it's a simple way to put a roadblock in the way of the spammers that keep hitting the channel without overly inconveniencing legitimate users. [02:29] jamesw: is that the whole error? [02:29] Niglop: That moment of weightlessness that the iPad feels as it falls through the air, before it hits the ground. [02:29] netsavy006, I usually install the full mounty: sudo apt-get install rar unrar zip unzip lha arj zoo arc unace p7zip-full [02:29] why doesn't my network connection show in the ubuntu panel after i set a static ip?? [02:29] HeTaL, there is other ways ?? like a confirmation box ... [02:30] Not one as integrated into IRC. [02:30] hmm, i don't know if i'm being stupid or something, but i'm trying to play with OGL 2.x (yes, I know i'm behind the times) and the default headers on Ubuntu seem to only be OGL 1.x? [02:30] HeTaL, i think canonical is heading toward microsoft and apple way ! [02:30] dschuett: did you set it in /etc/network/interfaces? [02:30] If a person doesn't care about his nick much, he can just use a fake email. [02:30] !ot dr3mro [02:30] And yes, it might be trying, but it won't be able to.

[02:31] dr3mro: Your point would be a lot more valid if *every single other* Ubuntu support venue I can think of didn't require personal information. [02:31] where is file system the boot log is saved? [02:31] IRC is just weird in that we usually don't. [02:31] ok, and i have zero network connections... [02:31] * HeTaL is brb [02:31] skumara: you mean the dmesg? [02:32] rww, my email is not personal info ??? ok it's enough that talk i don't want to waste the channel time but you may reconisder this again !! thnx any way [02:32] ChogyDan: yes [02:32] Hi, I've got two (working) drives from a broken raid0 external hard drive closure. The raid array had HFS+ (or HFS, some Mac thingy) filesystem on it which most recovery tools don't understand. Do you guys know of any tools that might be able to rebuild the array so that I can take backups? [02:32] rww, HeTaL bye and thnx [02:32] presuntorj, but im not booted up with live cd. i cant see the dmesg from terminal because te file is on my hdd. [02:32] dr3mro: 1) You misread my message, 2) Umm, throwaway gmail/yahoo/whatever addre... oh well. [02:33] now if i go into network connections there is no connections [02:33] dschuett: the applet ignores connections configured via interfaces [02:33] Ok. Thanks everyone. I got The Sims 3 started without the disk. [02:33] Thanks everyone. [02:33] ne1 here had any luck installing iFolder client in Ubuntu? [02:34] rww: Why do I have the feeling he actually got worked up about that? [02:34] ChogyDan: ok, but if i go into network tools both show active [02:34] and it shows that eth0 is getting my isp's ip address, but i can't get to the internet??? [02:34] Hi All, how do you make devilspie hide (skip_takslist) on minimize and display it on task list when maximized? [02:35] hoe to view dmesg in a partition? [02:35] ChogyDan: yes.. it is the tail end of an apt-get install [02:35] anybody here use eclipse? I need a little help [02:36] millertimek1a2m3, just ask (I dont use eclipse) [02:36] hey-i'm editing on Linux and every time I try to create a new file, it opens it up in gedit but I want eclipse to edit my java files [02:36] millertimek1a2m3: i use it [02:37] jamesw: well, I think you can delete all the files that were ignored. I don't know if that is the error though [02:37] test34, jamesw [02:37] how do i..do that? [02:37] jamesw: I take it you don't know much about managing sources? [02:37] millertimek1a2m3, this is not an eclipse problem [02:37] go to the file's properties and tell it to always open with eclipse [02:38] millertimek1a2m3: also you will run into problems with multiple eclipse instances [02:38] jamesw: and you haven't installed any third party sources? [02:38] millertimek1a2m3, right click on a java file and chose " Open with other application" [02:38] Hi All, how do you make devilspie hide (skip_takslist) on minimize and display it on task list when maximized? [02:38] ChogyDan: i have.. i can remove them if you think i should [02:39] Hi. I've just installed Ubuntu but I keep losing the screen right after the kernel says "Console switching to colour framebuffer device 128x48". How do I disable it and stay on plain old console output? [02:40] ok thanks guys [02:40] jamesw: you don't have to do that, but this command may delete them, so you may have to re-add them: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* But I have those files, and I don't get complaints, so Im not sure that is your problem [02:40] jamesw: can you pastebin the whole error? [02:40] jamesw, test34: what about how to add the Visual editor capabilities [02:41] how to change my host name, so it does not display my username+system name on my router [02:43] jamesw, test34: i tried that and it doesn't seem to fix the editor problem [02:44] jamesw, test34: also, when I create a new project now, it seems not to automatically create a main file within a class that already has everything built in it. [02:44] millertimek1a2m3: this is not an ubuntu problem [02:44] millertimek1a2m3, drink another miller and everything will be fine [02:44] haha [02:45] hey for anyone here who has time to walk me through something moderately intense, i would really appreciate it , id be willing to take someone's help requests of a novice type and answer them [02:45] my nick doesn't have anything to do with beer. It's just the nickname I had since I was little [02:45] Syme, alright, do you use eclipse [02:45] :/ [02:45] dont know what that is :( im a complete nob [02:45] just the thing is ive solved a lot of the basic noob problems so i could help people [02:45] if they wanted it [02:46] Syme: That's nice of you. [02:46] ChogyDan: thanks, this worked! [02:46] millertimek1a2m3: try #eclipse [02:46] well im trying to set up my usb microphone.. and it stopped working since an upgrade from like the spring 2010 version [02:47] its not a typical audio problem, cause im experienced with all of the standard like, sound servers and pulseaudio and device selection [02:47] since i upgraded to 10.04 , the usb microphone i have is not even recognized in any of the input device selectors [02:47] Hey, I'm back with more info. Metacity consistently doesn't start when I log in. I can launch terminal and run it and then it works, but that's hardly ideal. I don't see anything in the normal logs, but in dpkglog I see " status half-configured metacity 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1" which doesn't look right. I tried reinstalling it and got the same thing. I also see "update-alternatives: run with --install /usr/bin/x-window-m [02:47] ive tried every single guide i can find on google [02:47] and it appears i have usb audio installed, and a ls command to find usb deivces shows my usb mic [02:48] is in the system, its just not on any of the sound input device selection boxes anywhere [02:48] .. [02:48] Syme: you checked it was not muted in alsamixer ? [02:48] i should install alsamixer? [02:48] cause right now i have been using somethign called pulseaudio device chooser and pulseaudio volume control to handle the different sound cards etc [02:49] thanks zzzed [02:49] Syme: Also bring up the mixer from the volume control on the panel. There's a combobox to select the in put device. [02:49] Hi all, i have a rather pressing question- its not specifically ubuntu software related, but more of a hardware question. if anyone knows about laptop lcd lamps, please let me know [02:49] yeah [02:49] nothing appears there dj_segfault [02:49] ive tried all the obvious solution [02:49] tomswartz07: try ##hardware [02:49] and/or #ubuntu-offtopic [02:49] ah! perfect, ill see there [02:49] nothing appears in any of the config boxes in any window for input selection. its like there is literally no input devices being sensed by the system [02:49] Syme: what do you mean? You don't have a volume control? [02:50] i have tons of volume controls :-p [02:50] just that under input device selection on any of them, it shows zero input devices to even adjust the volume for [02:50] Syme: If you click on Sound Preferences and go to the Input tab, what do you see? [02:51] a blank white box that says choose a device for sound input [02:51] and a grayed out volume slider and grayed out mute button [02:51] Syme: Above that does it say Connector? [02:51] anyone good with sugarcrm? [02:51] no it does not say connector anywhere on that dialog box [02:52] Syme: Is this a laptop or desktop? [02:52] robwerks: Try #sugarcrm [02:52] dj_segfault: did you try create a new user and login to it for your metacity problem. I think it might be in the configs that will be renewed with a new user. [02:52] nobody ever talks there [02:52] dj_segfault desktop, and the mic was working until i upgraded to 10.04 , however, i just installed alsa mixer and there is a microphone volume control for the usb mixer tab [02:52] so give me 5 to figure out if this will work [02:52] in alsa [02:53] skumara: did you manage to find your dmesg yet? [02:53] yes. but there was no error. [02:53] presuntorj, [02:53] sacarlson: OK, so say that works, what do I do? Everything is set up for this user. Is that just to diagnose that it's a config problem, or will that help me fix it? [02:53] :-/ from the HD logs? [02:54] dj_segfault: then you can move the metacity configs to your original account [02:54] i do get this udevd-work error on boot presuntorj. i got the dmseg from /var/logs/dmesg [02:54] dj_segfault: no that would only make it work for that user to start with. [02:55] how do i remove a program from startup services? [02:55] dj_segfault: yes just a diagnostic to start [02:55] hey if anyone else needs help, i'd like to give help [02:55] hmm dj_segfault nah i dont think this did anything, the mic is still nto appearing under input in any of my system sound setting screens [02:55] sacarlson: OK. I might try renaming .gconf/apps/metacity too [02:56] Syme: Are you using pulseaudio? [02:56] presuntorj, i cant boot at all. i get udev-work (897): exec of program /lib/udev/scsi_id failed. [02:56] dj_segfault: that's another posible solution to try. you can always name it back [02:57] i do have pulseaudio installed and thats what ive been using for controlling my two sound cards and several output devices and input , before upgrading [02:57] there is no rc.5 folder in lucid? [02:57] dj_segfault ^ [02:57] how do i remove something that i've isntall from source? is there a way [02:57] sacarlson: Maybe I'll try that first, as a more permanent solution. OK, logging off. [02:57] dj_segfault: I think if it fails to find the .gconf it will create one from the template [02:59] sacarlson: Yes, but I'm going to try just renaming the metacity directory for starters, and hopefully it will do the same. Of course I could always overwrite it with my backup from before the install, but I don't know if any config files have changed from karmic to lucid [02:59] Syme: Is that a yes or no? [02:59] Is there a command to list all of a packages build dependencies, including the ones that are already installed on the system? [02:59] ozatomic: I think you have to read the install docs in the package. normaly tar package or source comes with a script that will unistall them. [03:00] dj_segfault yes . pulseaudio is installed and has been what i have typically successfully used [03:00] to control a complex audio device environment [03:00] in the past [03:01] I installed ubuntu-server, but i'm not getting a gui, and I remember xstart as command, but that doesnt work.... how do I get the gui? [03:01] Solow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [03:02] Hey guys, My CDRom drive is 'broken'. by broke it's not reading discs. It's a DVD-RAM drive, so it's a CD/DVD Reader / Writer. It used to work and now it's not working, unsure what the problem is. eject works, but software is unable to read the disc, or even recognise there is a disc there. I hoping it's a software problem, I doubt a hardware problem. The drive is a SATA drive. SCSI. [03:02] Syme: maybe pastebin the return of lsmod that will tell us if you usb device has been captured to be a sound device. you might also look at the logs for the event when it was detected to be a sound device [03:03] i did an ls usb [03:03] and it showed it [03:03] i have the results of lsmod here [03:03] it shows a couple of usb controllers [03:04] hey guys why when I connect to #ubuntu I get redirected to #ubuntu-unregged how to log straight in to this place [03:04] sacarlson haha i think i just figured it out Lol [03:04] SiNUX: identify before joining #ubuntu. one way to do that would be by telling your client that your nickserv password is the server password [03:04] NeverCast: I guess to verify it's not a hardware problem you could make a usb flash boot device to boot with software that you know was working in the past. do you have a usb flash disk with about 2 gig? [03:05] sacarlson, I sure do. [03:05] Syme: what was it? [03:05] om rww I'll try that [03:05] haha i needed to go under hardware [03:05] and fucking [03:05] enable the device [03:05] !ohmy | Syme [03:05] i swear on my life it wasnt there before [03:05] Syme: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [03:05] oh well [03:05] Syme: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:05] ohhh :( [03:05] sry :( [03:06] Syme: oh it was a hardware switch like on my mike, I've done that before. [03:06] sacarlson, I'll go fetch a Backtrack usb drive actually, It will boot quickly and will confirm if another oper' can read the drive. [03:06] rww, Ahh.... thx mate it worked [03:06] Just wish I had a BartPE Windows Usb oper' [03:07] NeverCast: ok that should work as long as you know it worked before [03:08] how do you know if iptables is running or not? [03:08] in ubuntu 10.04 [03:09] hi [03:09] Well [03:09] ;x [03:09] dschuett: kern.log should indicate blocks from iptables [03:10] Still can't get metacity to load on startup. I rename .gconf and .gconfd, so it's not a configuration file thing. Does anyone know what's SUPPOSED to start up metacity? [03:10] hello [03:10] dschuett, it is part of the kernel so it is always running.. but you need to create rules to have an effective firewall [03:10] dschuett: /sbin/iptables -L; also, iptables brings in a number of kernel modules including x_tables. [03:10] dj_segfault: ya I was thinking since it works ok if you bring it up manualy how could it be a config problem [03:11] dj_segfault: well maybe just make a work around and start it in a script at login [03:11] dj_segfault: /etc/gdm/DefaultInit/ something like that. Look around in /etc/gdm/ [03:12] test34: i have done this: http://pastebin.com/NriN99jL Everyting is working besides being able to reach the internet from the client pc [03:12] any ideas of what i might be missing [03:12] psilo2: Thanks. I miss the days when everything launched from /etc/init.d and symlinks [03:12] dj_segfault: me too. [03:13] I upgraded to 10.04.1 and when I boot up, my screen goes blank after the ubuntu loading screen shows up [03:13] dschuett: what does `ip route show` give [03:13] dschuett, sorry gotta go [03:13] the previous version worked fine [03:13] psilo2: give me a sec and i will pastebin it [03:13] and when I use the second option in grub to boot, my screen is normal [03:14] hellosugaree: did you manually install your video driver? [03:14] no [03:14] is there a good central place to find drivers [03:14] it's a laptop [03:14] hellosugaree: sorry then .. no idea [03:14] hellosugaree, that happened to me as well after rebooting two three times I was able to het to ubuntu [03:15] dschuett: the ip's are both a client and gateway, that correct [03:15] I can boot one of the options lower on the boot list [03:15] maybe I will downgrade [03:15] worked fine in 9.10 [03:16] whats a good http server, that works for file sharing? [03:16] hellosugaree, what are the kernel options on the first option in grub? [03:16] let me check [03:16] can multiple guest OSes be networked to see each other and they connect to the internet? [03:16] hellosugaree, this has been brought up before... i dont recall the solution...have you googled this? [03:16] psilo2: http://pastebin.com/Z9Bx9UEN [03:17] hellosugaree, it might be that your screen res. is set to a high position where your monitor doesn't support [03:17] hellosugaree, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [03:17] dschuett: can the router ping internet? [03:17] psilo2: what would the 169.254.0.0....be?? [03:17] dschuett: nothing. [03:17] yeah, i can get to the internet from the server [03:18] first option is 2.6.32-24-feneric [03:18] generic* [03:18] the client pc gets an ip from dhcp3-server but can't reach the net [03:18] My problems starting metacity can't have anything to do with xorg.conf, can it? [03:18] that gets the blank [03:18] but I can boot 32-22 [03:18] with no screen problems [03:18] but I get some other error when I boot the second kernel, but it still ends up booting [03:19] hellosugaree, what options follow the kernel name? [03:19] psilo2: do i need to do a route add of some kind?? [03:19] or are there firewall rules missing? [03:19] dschuett: do clients have a default route pointing to the gateway? [03:20] dj_segfault: is there anything in /var/log files that are complaining about metacity or other? [03:20] kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic root=UUID=80aabb91-6c7d-4d93-b0e3-7b17def235d0 ro quiet splash [03:20] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic [03:20] for the first one that won't boot [03:20] dschuett, r u using proxy server to share the connections with your clients [03:20] psilo2: they are getting a default gateway of 192.168.2.254 [03:21] why would that be??? [03:21] sacarlson: No, like I said, just the "half-installed" in dpkg.log [03:21] dj_segfault: only thing I see with metacity in it in /etc is /etc/sgml dir [03:21] kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-22-generic root=UUID=80aabb91-6c7d-4d93-b0e3-7b17def235d0 ro quiet splash [03:21] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-22-generic [03:21] that is the second one that does boot [03:21] dschuett: well, I have never run a dhcp server, but I think it's responsible for supplying the clients with routes, and it's not doing that. [03:21] sinux: i don't have any proxy set up yet [03:21] dj_segfault: oh can you pastebin that log? [03:21] hellosugaree, ya nothing out of the ordinary there [03:22] dschuett: so there's your problem. Try manually adding a default route to a client and if it solves the problem, we can focus on teaching dhcpd to teach clients correctly. [03:22] any ideas? [03:22] ok, all your clients have direct connections to the router ? [03:22] running through a switch yes... [03:22] sacarlson: Working on it... [03:22] dj_segfault: I see in my /etc/sgml dir that there is a catalog and catalog.old like when I must have updated? [03:23] hellosugaree, coz_ suggests in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [03:23] thanks for your help guys [03:23] :) [03:23] hellosugaree, As I said it's your screen res. too high try to drop it back to a lower number [03:23] sinux: i have my option router set to the ip of eht1 192.168.0.201 [03:24] I did that [03:24] within dhcp3.conf [03:24] is that correct...that is the ip of my routers internal nic [03:24] I still don't see why the rest would be different if I boot one kernel vs the other [03:24] how to I change it in the for the other option from this one [03:24] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/9BBuPZT0 Keep in mind the end is where I did the reinstall a little earlier today [03:25] dj_segfault: ok [03:25] when I type the command, I get: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [03:25] any ubuntu server that runs on port 80, that i can download and upload files trought a web browser???? [03:25] dschuett, ok, like to know wht is your routers default IP [03:25] What does this mean? GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 943ED04A50A40F50 [03:26] dschuett, ok, like to know wht is your routers default IP [03:26] dj_segfault: I saw no errors in the log [03:27] dj_segfault: both install looked ok [03:27] sacarlson: OK, then I guess I'll have to go into Ugly Hack mode. Not sure where to start it up from. I'm guessing I can't start it up until I'm logged in, [03:27] sacarlson: Didn't it say half-configured? That's normal? [03:28] dj_segfault: what about a error search in /var/log with like grep [03:28] dj_segfault: I didn't see anything like half in there [03:28] any ubuntu server that runs on port 80, that i can download and upload files trought a web browser???? [03:29] dj_segfault: last line was looking good with 2010-08-23 21:39:02 status installed metacity 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1 [03:29] AegNuddel, In ubuntu when you try to install something from a outside repo you need to give the public key which helps the package manager to verify that this software is legitimate [03:29] hellosugaree, have you tried booting in recovery mode? [03:29] SuperMiguel: You want to run an HTTP server to host content? [03:30] hellosugaree, was this an upgrade from on version to another or a clean install from a live cd? [03:30] SuperMiguel: there are several HTTP servers available for Ubuntu, check out Apache for instance. [03:30] I see that now. Is it the same on debian? I think the commands I just ran were for debian. [03:30] AegNuddel, If you're trying to use something from launchpad you can get the instructions how to insert the in to your synaptic package manager [03:31] sacarlson: Only dpkg.log and installed-software have references to metacity in /var/log [03:31] night all [03:31] tensorpudding, i know i can do it with apache virtual directory, but im looking for an easier solution [03:32] looks like it is going now [03:32] SuperMiguel: What do you mean/ [03:32] dj_segfault: you sure you don't want to try create a new user. this seems like dajavu to me when I had this problem I never solved but just fixed with a new user. it takes like 30 secounds in System>administration>User groups>add [03:32] hey what c++ compiler should i use? [03:32] I didn't even really have to ask then becuase I did get it right... [03:33] *shrug* [03:33] yes [03:33] boywonder: gcc comes with a c++ compiler, that is probably the best at the moment [03:33] boywonder: g++, included with the gcc compiler [03:33] I've tried booting recovery mode [03:33] !build-essential [03:33] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:33] sacarlson: OK I'll try it. [03:33] hellosugaree, and what happened? [03:33] it works when I do the minimal display option [03:33] coz_, this was an upgrade from 9.10 [03:34] coz_, upgraded via update manager [03:34] there is clang's c++ compiler but it's not production ready at all [03:34] hellosugaree: append "i915.modeset=0" to you the kernel that doesn't boot [03:34] zzzed, it loaded fine [03:34] AegNuddel, If you're using Lucid sudo add-apt-repository that last part is available at the software makers page in launchpad [03:34] mark-I, what does that do? [03:34] hellosugaree: -you* [03:35] hellosugaree: disables KMS [03:35] AegNuddel, oh and the key is known as"Signing key" [03:35] sinux: sorry, i got disconnected [03:35] ah cool [03:35] i didn't get your last response [03:35] mark-I, KMS? [03:36] dschuett, what is your router IP is it the one you posted here [03:37] hm [03:37] hellosugaree: Kernel Mode Set... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes either use 0 or 1 see what works [03:37] dschuett, Like to know another thing your clients have direct connections to the router or are you trying to route he [03:37] dschuett, route them through a server? [03:38] hellosugaree: read "workaround A" [03:38] i'll try it [03:38] thank you [03:38] dschuett, And also tell me from your client can you ping to the router [03:39] do I just add i915.modeset=0 by itself as a new line [03:39] dschuett, like ping 192.168.x.x [03:39] how can i setup a vpn on a vps , I don't have a local network on the vps? [03:40] hellosugaree: you see your grub line the kernel that doesnt work says at the end "quiet splash"? [03:40] sacarlson: I finally added it to System->Preferences->Startup applications, and that seems to be working. [03:40] dj_segfault: so no new account needed? good to go? [03:40] ahhhh, keep getting disconnected [03:40] mark-i, yes, no splash, but just quiet [03:41] hellosugaree: ok there just add that line after quiet [03:41] ok [03:41] dj_segfault: if I knew you didn't have the path I could have given you the command [03:41] I will try that and reboot [03:41] brb [03:41] anyone good at setting up ubuntu server as a router/firewall.... [03:41] exit [03:41] sinux: i think it was you who was helping me out before [03:41] sacarlson: When I set up a new account and logged in as that, it worked. However, that just tells me it's one of the HUNDREDS of conf files under ~ [03:42] dj_segfault: yes I thought so [03:42] dj_segfault: so just rename the dir and copy your files into it [03:42] sacarlson: I guess as an experiment (on more sleep than I have now) I could back up my home dir and restore from pre-install and see how that works. [03:43] sacarlson: Which dir? I know it's not .gconf or .gconfd because I already tried renaming those. [03:43] dj_segfault: I'm not sure that will work. I think the new software isn't compatible with some old settings [03:43] i have followed this: http://pastebin.com/NriN99jL to a the T and everything is working except my client pc can't reach the outside world (internet)...any ideas??? [03:44] dj_segfault: so by creating a new account it puts all the new template configs in [03:44] if i want to start network manager when my system boots how do i do that?? [03:44] anyone know how to change brightness settings on a laptop? [03:45] sacarlson: I guess I can try copying them from the new account to the old account, not not now. [03:45] dj_segfault: I had this problem on at least 3 times [03:45] Almost tempted to upgrade again. [03:45] Hi. I'm attempting to use CurlFTPFS to mount a remote FTP server to a local directory. I want to specify my password in my /etc/fstab for automation, but am worried about security. Is it possible to make /etc/fstab readable only to root without causing damage to the system's performance? [03:46] dj_segfault: I like to keep the old. I just copy the old user stuf to the new account then rename them both to reverse them [03:46] cruzer: you can use your Fn keys or go to system/preferences/power managemente under display you see a slider for brightness [03:46] management* [03:46] is there a software that can compress video as it is being captured? I want to record my xbox360 gameplay but large file sizes are kind of scary. I need to have continous recording of upto 30 mins. virtual dub is what I'm using now but it compresses after recording. Anything that can do compressing in realtime? [03:47] dj_segfault: the other problem I have had is the new account has a new number also and some samba or other use the account number not the name to access files oh and ntfs file share also [03:47] MaRk-I, i dont see display in there [03:48] cruzer: 2/3 down below "put display to sleep" time [03:48] dj_segfault: ok get your sleep and think of it tommaro [03:48] sacarlson: Yes, moving around users is messy. But I'm done fussing with this today. I'll ask on the mailing list and maybe someone will be able to tell me the right file without ripping my whole system apart. Thanks for your help [03:48] can someone help me troubleshoot why i can't get my ubuntu router/gateway to allow client pc's to reach the internet [03:49] Dasda: mencoder can work as a pipe [03:50] MaRk-I, theres no slider [03:50] dj_segfault: oh I think I missed that when you said witch dir. I just swap the name of the whole user dirs /home/myoldaccount /home/mynewaccount [03:51] dj_segfault: that you can do [03:51] cruzer: odd, try your Fn keys then [03:51] sacarlson: I guess I could try that, then copy in all the configs I KNOW are not involved like firefox, mozilla, etc [03:51] dj_segfault: im anoob at this but what to do you mean by "as a pipe"? [03:52] dj_segfault: your other solution sounded better ask these guys what config is really needed or you will have to start experimenting trial and error [03:52] Dasda: A pipe is when you feed the output of one program into the input of another program directly. Like "ls -al | grep -i FOO" [03:52] MaRk-I, thanks for your help but it actually seems this is as bright as it goes.. [03:52] sacarlson: Yup. [03:53] dj_segfault: I just brute force and move it all. I did have to keep my mozila stuf and maybe a few others [03:53] dj_segfault: get some sleep get the details later. [03:53] thnx dj_segfault, i'm gonna hit google and do some reading on that mencoder app [03:54] sacarlson: Yes big day at work tomorrow.

[03:58] but sometimes I take it out [03:58] NeverCast: you have the encoder you just need the codec [03:59] NeverCast: mplayer also has an encoder [04:00] http://pastebin.com/GVdXaj6D [04:00] sacarlson, It does? all this time I was using VLC >.< [04:00] there's the output of that [04:00] Of course it does [04:00] hello everyone [04:00] memcoder -.- [04:00] anyone...hellllpp :P [04:00] i have been at this for hours [04:00] !help | dschuett [04:00] dschuett: 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).

[04:02] NeverCast: I don't know I haven't played with that in 3 years [04:02] I'll just try get vlc and ffmpeg workin' then =/ [04:03] NeverCast: I assumed you had a gui that just needed a codec. I used to use a gui but don't recall what it was and I'm sure they must have better by now [04:03] I was wondering if it's possible to enable the internal speakers + external speakers at the same time. It used to be possible, maybe because of a bug, don t know, but was very good, but on lucid can t make it work anymore? :) pls === sinux is now known as SiNUX [04:03] I have enabled WakeOnLAn on one of my machines in my LAN, is there any way to find out it MAC address by using some tool?!

[04:09] oh you compiled it from scratch, you didn't install via apt? [04:09] railsraider: it should install with just apt-get install mysql [04:09] yeah i tried it again [04:09] railsraider: why do you need to compile? [04:10] i mean how do you reinstall [04:10] nobody has an idea how to enable internal speakers+ jack output at the sameas it used to be possible [04:10] you right [04:10] ? [04:10] i wasnt compiling [04:10] i was using the apt-get [04:11] cyroul, I miss it tooo... it used to work for me prior to 10.04 [04:11] I have no idea if there is a workaround, but you can always try to file a bug report if you believe it's the case [04:11] presuntorj: if it was a bug, it used to be a good one :) [04:12] agreed [04:12] in one computer I use, it has even swaped the "internal" speaker and the "phone" outlet [04:12] rs [04:13] but I never remember to complain about it [04:13] good one [04:13] railsraider: I'm not sure why you have to reinstall but i think it's apt-get --reinstall mysql [04:13] I am getting lazy about some issues [04:13] lol [04:13] railsraider, sudo apt-get install --reinstall package [04:13] I like some of them [04:13] :) [04:13] cyroul, do you know how to file a bug repport with apport anyway ?

[04:14] I think so [04:15] thanks alot , im gonna try it now [04:15] why that ? [04:15] railsraider: you should backup you databases, I suggest you export them, [04:15] railsraider: and after install import them [04:16] sacarlson, I am not sure why... but ok [04:16] didn't work, all i have is mysql -> /lib/init/upstart-job under /etc/init.d [04:17] i followed this page https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/mysql.html [04:17] presuntorj, hi [04:17] presuntorj: why are you asking me that, I didn t want to report it as a bug, I wanted to keep it this wat ! :) [04:17] smw: why export? I had a problem with I upgraded last time when normaly I just move the /var mysql files. this time it seems the files weren't compatible. but when I exported and then imported they still worked [04:17] cyroul: so shhhh... don't let them know [04:17] lol [04:17] lol [04:18] too late can t make it work anymore, maybe I should report and ask to bug it again [04:18] doh! sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart [04:18] railsraider, or sudo restart mysql [04:19] i was looking for the d [04:19] railsraider, or sudo service mysql restart [04:19] ah [04:19] i though this is the mysql console [04:19] but maybe it is still possible to do it, but can t find anything about it [04:20] (10:17:05 AM) actually i want to get the session where i logged... is there any package option? [04:20] railsraider: console? don't you use myphpadmin? [04:20] damn! it is the mysql console! what is going on! [04:20] no [04:20] Whats the default password for root?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [04:26] Does anyone even know where to begin on getting bug #601950 fixed? ("shift/alt/ctrl on this bluetooth keyboard doesn't work with ubuntu") [04:27] rww: Muelli: Would you recommend lm-sensors or powertop?

[04:27] eboyjr: I'm not answering this question because it's not a smart one. [04:27] eboyjr: they do different things. powertop shows ways to reduce power consumption, lm-sensors shows output from CPU/Motherboard/GPU/etc. sensors [04:27] r4v5: well. I'd do a "xev" and see whether the keycodes are actually sent [04:27] hey guys, I'm trying to make a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and I can't seem to get it to work. http://pastebin.com/GVdXaj6D I have that info and I tried to make a rule that is ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ID_BUS=="usb" RUN+="/bin/ms.pl" [04:27] they are.

[04:30] Muelli: Alright well thanks [04:30] feodor: suspend halts cpu; even if your wireless card maintained connection all of your tcp connections would still disconnect [04:30] / /time out [04:30] ah [04:30] Muelli: apparantly not for my modem. any idea of how to help?

[04:41] they are getting an ip from the dhcp3 on the router..and show the gateway as 192.168.0.201 (eth1 internal nic) [04:41] just a minute... i found something on google..

[04:45] dschuett: what does dig google.com give you. does dns work? [04:45] sacarlson: Am I supposed to dotrun the command withe partition number too? os just /dev/sdb ? [04:45] giiker: so without the type will it mount then? most times it auto picks the type for you [04:46] giiker: you need the number at the end of the dev /dev/sdb1 [04:46] sacarlson: nop, I also tried --type automatic, and tells me that I must to specify the type [04:46] sacarlson: i don't have any dns set up on my router... can i just use 8.8.8.8 (google's) [04:46] ? [04:46] i have never messed with dns on linux? [04:46] dschuett: without dns you have no internet [04:47] sacarlson: I thought so! let me try that, if it works, that's the # of hte partition right? [04:47] dschuett: what is the contents of /etc/resolv.conf [04:47] giiker: yes [04:47] but i have internet on the router... [04:47] sacarlson: ok IÄ'll be back [04:47] so what did dig google.com give you then? [04:48] sacarlson: i get the same rror [04:49] dschuett: well what was in the resolv.conf [04:49] dschuett: can you ping 74.125.153.147 [04:49] that's google [04:49] http://pastebin.com/c4zFefas [04:50] that is my resolv.conf [04:50] yes i can ping google.com from my server/router [04:50] sacarlson: i get the same error. [04:50] dschuett: can you ping 68.105.28.11 [04:50] dschuett: dns is not your issue. I sent you a PM. [04:52] dschuett: yes if he can't ping his dns then dns is not his problem [04:52] dschuett: but I don't know what error he got when he tried [04:54] Is there a way for ubuntu to switch back to right resolution of laptop when switching between external and internal monitor on laptop? [04:54] I currently use an external monitor (1440x900) but when I switch back to internal, the resolution stays the same instead of changing to 1366x768 [04:54] I 'm trying to mount my FAT16 formatted USB drive, but everytime I run: sudo mount -t FAT16 /dev/sdb1 /media/test2/ , I get an error saying it is not the right type, I already made sure it is FAT16 with a disk utility tool. [04:54] asadn: you can change it at System>preference>display [04:55] Just wondering if it could auto-adjust it each time ... I have nvidia drivers maybe that's why it doesn't .. P.s. simply changing resolution doesn't work as it has "Panning" of 1440x900 which has to be changed too.. Weird, I know [04:58] is there any way to find out the types of filesystems supported by my machine or kernel?, I already did: cat /proc/filesystems [04:58] and it is not there? [04:59] giiker: as far as I know fa16 is supported in ubuntu 10.04 [04:59] giiker: why you would use that i have no idea [04:59] giiker: mkfs. gives a list, which may not be complete. [05:00] assuming bash-completion [05:00] sacarlson: wellit was the first usb drive I got many years ago, and I have a few file I need to acces, and since i am lazy and did not change the format..

[05:04] sacarlson: yeah, I did sudo mount dev/sb1 /media/temp [05:04] giiker: and what error? [05:05] giiker: oh no /dev/sdb1 dude not sb1 [05:05] sacarlson: the same [05:05] sacarlson: I meant sdb1 [05:06] psilo2: I got them now, it doesn't mention FAT16, is it because I'm using Lubuntu? WEIRD... [05:06] giiker: I looked way back in your post but I still cant find the error you got [05:07] giiker: oh lubuntu? not suer [05:07] giiker: could be, no idea what lubuntu is. [05:07] sacarlson: mount: unknown filesystem type 'FAT16' [05:08] Lubuntu is a light version of Ubuntu, less graphics and not too bloated [05:08] giiker: well try ubuntu-desktop [05:09] sacarlson: I have Ubuntu isntalled in my main machine, I just got frustated in not able to mount my USB drive [05:10] sacarlson: , psilo2 I guess Iĺl try to add support for FAT16 to the kernelsomehow, thanks guys for your help, but I can install Ubuntu Desktop in my old tusty Thhinkpad X20 with a 600 mhz CPU.

[05:36] now if anyone could answer my question... :P [05:36] quick question for the future, when a new version of ubuntu with a new theme, wallpaper etc comes out, will the upgrade process update it or will it use whatever theme/panel settings I had on my old version? [05:36] for example if I had 9 and upgraded to 10.4, would it change the menu bar to black, apply new wallpaper etc ? [05:36] yes, this is quite important :) [05:40] pie_time: 7000 or 7070, see http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml [05:41] feodor: i believe it changes to the new default theme, but keeps the one you were using saved, you could change it back easily [05:41] rww, do you know much about openssh? [05:41] at least, it happened to my laptop from 9.10 to 10.04 [05:41] pie_time: possibly. Why? [05:42] prefrontal, i see! [05:42] how about any new icons? [05:42] I want to ssh to a server and was wondering which options i should use and what ones are available [05:42] the whole theme [05:42] icons included [05:42] pie_time: see "man ssh". Generally, you can just do ssh username@server; the default options are sane. [05:42] and firefox extension? [05:43] not the extensions, but firefox for sure [05:43] rww, what are the default options? [05:43] i mean the firefox ubuntu addon [05:43] rww, thanks by the way [05:43] later, when you log in and run firefox, it should look for extension upgrades [05:43] 10.04 hacks your firefox settings so each new profile automatically has the ubuntu theme addon [05:43] or at least it did for me... :P [05:43] pie_time: umm. you realize openssh has upwards of fifty configuration options, right? [05:43] unless, if you mean, the few firefox extensions that are actually ubuntu packages (deb files_ [05:44] no, just the ubuntu theme addon [05:44] those will be upgraded [05:44] oh well fair enough. good good [05:44] i just love the new themes ;) [05:44] rww, are you in #openssh? can we take the conversation there before i get in trouble? [05:45] Is Ubuntu considering systemd? [05:45] pie_time: no, I have enough channels to watch with just Ubuntu, sorry [05:45] bbigras: dont think so. canonical develops upstart [05:45] bbigras: not that I've heard of [05:45] rww, do you happen to know how to run multiple applications in the same ssh tunnel? [05:45] you could try the "light" version ... i believe it was called radiance (th dark is called ambiance) [05:45] pie_time: screen! [05:46] pie_time: also, ctrl+z, fg, bg, and jobs [05:46] maco, ok [05:46] pie_time: the most important default in ssh is the port that is port 22, many change this so the -p is used or changed in defaults [05:46] maco: yes I know about upstart. I was wondering if canonical would prefert it over systemd because of emotional attachment or something. [05:46] what sacarlson ? [05:46] rww: thanks [05:47] bbigras: well they haven't stopped development on it, so i think they're still preferring it [05:47] maco: ok, thanks [05:47] It would fit with Ubuntu's tendency to screw around with startup stuff every time I think I've got it figured out ;P [05:47] haha [05:48] where can i download the banshe-gnome-do plugin, i see it referenced, but no actual link === lap_dragon is now known as sleepingdragon [05:49] is there anyway to get the x button and minimize back on the right side [05:49] ?

I want to find the best way to distribute images for wallpapers, fonts, document files, and also an install-setup.sh for setting up new installs. Basically the idea is to do a new Ubuntu install, add the PPA, update it and [05:55] then the file downloads and does all of the work. Is this the best way to do that? One issue that may arise is the shell script does reqire some user input to it. Forgive me. I am not a programmer, new to packaging, etc. Just want some feedback on my method really.

I miss my bug [06:26] verkar ju bra också [06:27] oops [06:33] So I had an old hard drive with my firefox gear on it, and I had to move to an OS on a new one, and I was able to trasnfer all of that from the old one to the new by moving a few folders around. Could the same thing be done from a windows firefox to an ubuntu one? [06:34] rummage: yes, I've done that. [06:34] rummage: quite possibly. go trakc down the profile folder for Firefox [06:34] Obsidian1723: It seems to be on /dev/sda2, does that correspond to hd0,2 ? [06:34] I know the thunderbird profiles are the same. [06:35] rummage: I think you can export your bookmarks and import them to many different browsers [06:35] sabot: grub starts from zero - so sda2 = hd0,1 [06:35] The bookmarks are nothing compared to the passwords. [06:36] well_laid_lawn thats for grub1 is it not? [06:36] erg, I think that's what is was before :s [06:36] iflema: I didn't think it had changed [06:37] Let's see. . . in C:/Program files/Mozilla Firefox/ I have some folders in extensions that have some bizarre names, I seem to recall moving these last time.

I just want to be able to get onto my sites. [06:40] I'd do it manually if I didn't have like 3/400 passwords. [06:41] rummage: c:\documents and settings\user\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles\... [06:41] I expect the password store is crypted, as it should be [06:41] I got a question guys, does PlayOnLinux do any better than WINE does? [06:42] Okay, so if I want everything from it I should just move the whole folder there?

It comes with Grub preconfigured to offer a CentOS rescue image. Following some loose instructions the Xen provider offered, I booted the CentOS rescue and installed Ubuntu Hardy using "debootstrap". However when I entered by hand into the grub terminal the commands that I thought would fire up the kernel on the partition i just installed onto, I get these errors: http://pasteb [06:54] in.com/3d2n5Sj6 [06:54] ...er, http://pastebin.com/3d2n5Sj6 . I am inexperienced with grub, do these errors more likely indicate that I typed the grub commands wrong or that I simply installed the wrong kernel/ubuntu outright? [06:54] mcc, what vps provider? [06:55] prgmr.com [06:55] fixed it. btw, is it true that every ubuntu developer is jewish? [06:55] It is pretty bare bones. They have an IRC channel but everyone seems to be afk. [06:55] !guidelines > MTW [06:55] MTW, please see my private message [06:55] MTW: consider that your last warning [06:56] Their "Kernel Compatibility" page contains the somewhat (to me) cryptic line: "Centos 5.x, Debian 4.0, debian 5.0, Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04 are known to run on prgmr.com systems. Ubuntu 8.10 and fc10 will work with distro kernels now that prgmr.com has Xen 3.3 servers up and running. Anything that uses a kernel.org kernel newer than 2.6.27 or so should work fine with paravirt_ops." [06:58] is a lot of people still using 9.10? [06:58] hi [06:59] merma: I'm sure they are since it's still supported. [06:59] 10.04 <--- [06:59] morning..what's the right way to jail users? i mean creating a chroot environment [06:59] because i'm thinking of create a /jail dir where i put customers, and use the chroot option of apache and set to /jail then use fcgid and suexec to run php inside the jail.. [07:00] i think im going to use 9.10 again, I remember i was very pleased with it [07:01] Can anyone tell me how I can invert the colors on my Xorg? [07:02] Hello, I have this sleep key above my esc key on my keyboard. I hit it, computer powers off immediately and won't come back. Anyone know how to disbale it? [07:02] I'm not sure if it's hibernating, suspending, or sleeping [07:02] alex: whats the point [07:03] alex88: you just describbed the best approach, however, if they can get to the command line, there's ways around it, but it's tough. [07:03] TiK: i'm thinking of hosting some site..so i'm trying to make a jailed environment.. as the fcgid + suexec module permit to run scripts by user i'm thinking how to implement it [07:04] hey [07:04] alex88: another approach is to create a VPS center. but this is really OT fer here. === aarcane_ is now known as aarcane [07:05] hi [07:05] KE1HA: no vps, i just need to run virtualhosts, btw users will not get shell, but, apache has its own chroot option, i'm thinking about fcgid, dunno if it's runned by the user (so no directly from apache) it will be chrooted [07:06] alex88: The a VPS package fer you or reseller package for you, then Virt-Host them would be the best option Id' think. [07:07] anyone? [07:07] KE1HA: i'll take as the last idea..cause i don't think the server has enough resources for doing that.. [07:07] I just want to disable all sleep, hibernate and suspend features. None of them seem to work, my computer won't come back [07:07] alex88: check into WHM / cPanel type packages, that will do all those things easily for you. [07:07] does 9.10 stopped updating nautilus and gnome as a whole, or would they update it when new version come? [07:08] KE1HA: those don't jail the users php, just shell.. i've checked..btw, i'll try with apache chrootdir option for first.. i've asked just to know if someone has already tried it.. [07:08] what kind of maintenance do older ubuntu's have? [07:09] merma: well, nothing else then packages updates [07:09] alex88: ahh but they do ;-) .. trust me, contact a few Web Hosting company's. [07:11] Lanlost: there's been a few bus reports on diff configs, are you a laptop ? [07:11] alex88, im not limited to a cetain era right? I mean the repos will have the latest banshee for example [07:11] KE1HA: i've talked about the script...i've tried some n****d scripts, but they don't jail the php processes..i think..and also.. i'm creating a public hosting..so for the first time i don't want to make it so expensive.. [07:11] merma: well, latest stable banshee..if you want to bleeding-edge system use ppa or upgrade to maverick :) [07:12] * alex88 don't know if it's "be bleeding-edge" in english :/ [07:13] alex88: check out the hosting apps, they will do this fer you, even if its on your on box for testing. [07:13] where are device logs stored? I am having issues getting my 10.04 64 bit box to connect to my ethernet LAN and would like to see what the error is [07:13] KE1HA: free hosting apps? i've tried ispconfig and virtualmin.. [07:14] alex88: this should be in the ubuntu-server or off-toppic ok. [07:14] alex88: I'm looking at this http://www.marthijnvandenheuvel.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-chroot-ssh-user-in-ubuntu/ but it has no ubuntu package and I'm not sure ssh would give you satisfaction [07:15] <_jesse_> randerzander: check /var/log/syslog [07:15] KE1HA: ok, it's enough.. [07:15] ty _jesse_ [07:16] sacarlson: well, it will just chroot ssh, because it will run the shell of a jailed executable.. that doesn't apply to php scripts..btw i'll continue on #ubuntu-server [07:16] _jesse_, it's not showing anything related to network activity.. just cron jobs succeeding [07:17] <_jesse_> randerzander: well that's good news right? [07:17] <_jesse_> ;) [07:17] haha [07:17] <_jesse_> that's where the wifi errors have always presented themselves [07:17] what are the various syslog.2 .3 .4 etc. for? [07:17] <_jesse_> maybe ethernet is elsewhere [07:17] <_jesse_> those are old ones [07:17] <_jesse_> they are rotated [07:17] k [07:18] hey guys, anyone have any ideas about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1559772 ? === shai_ is now known as shai [07:22] I have a Ubuntu+ssh question. I've got two Ubuntu machines, and a particular user on both machines can't ssh to the other one without being asked her password, even when I've copied the .ssh directory over. What do I need to look at to correct this? [07:22] Ideally, I'd like the sshd to simply use the keys it finds in ~/.ssh/ (i.e. id_dsa and id_rsa) [07:22] How do I give a user account sudo privileges? Add him to the "admin" group..? [07:22] is there any reason why i can not use my scroll lock in X? [07:22] but it seems like it's rejecting all the keys provided. [07:23] viking667: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [07:23] meh. I'll try that. Thank you. [07:23] it says DHCP transaction took too long, stopping it. it looks like DHCP discover is trying intervals of varying length: 7 to 17 and then failing on timeout [07:24] any idea? [07:24] viking667: permissions on the authorized_keys file and parent directories is the most common issue. [07:25] bah, Eric left [07:25] viking667: simply copying, depending on your umask, will leave permission too loose for the sshd to find acceptable. You can fix it (recommended) or turn of StrictModes (not so much) [07:25] err, no he didnt [07:25] randerzander: maybe try setup your ip static and see if anything works [07:25] viking667: ssh -v when doing the login usually gives good hint about what's going on. [07:25] viking667: what up. [07:26] randerzander: is this wireless? [07:26] hey, im having an issue with module-assistant and an unofficial kernel [07:27] no, it's ethernet [07:27] randerzander: so what is suposed to be your dhcp server? your router? [07:28] Yasumoto: did you get your answer? [07:28] yes [07:28] and static IP works it seems [07:29] randerzander: oh maybe your dhcp in your router is disabled? can you login to your router and check? [07:29] hm. Interesting. I never knew about ssh-copy-id [07:29] no, the router is working fine.. many other computers are working just fine with it [07:30] also, it looks like it is not actually working with a static IP. Network manager shows the "Connected" icon, but I cannot access the internet [07:30] permissions on .ssh were 700, ditto on every file in that directory [07:30] nor can I access other IPs on my lan [07:30] so permissions weren't the problem, or at least I don't think they were. [07:30] randerzander: ah many you say and how many is that? they do have a number set in the routher that allows a limited number of dhcp lisence [07:31] randerzander: try reset the router and see if you can connect then. the last to reconect will probly not get in [07:31] right, it's limited to 50 clients, but i don't have 50 clients.. only 10ish [07:31] asset [07:32] randerzander: well I'm running out of ideas. it works in static all the way to ping google.com? [07:33] randerzander: oh and just because you only have 10 some of the lisence may not have expired and still can't be used [07:33] randerzander: try reset the router [07:33] I am gonna be distracted [07:33] no, i can't ping google.com, and there are still plenty of DHCP licenses available [07:33] only IPs 100-110 are in use.. I have 111-148 clear [07:33] resetting the router has not helped [07:34] randerzander: ok well would static config be good enuf? just setup the route manualy and setup the contents of /etc/resolv.conf manualy. would that be good enuf? [07:34] right. I'll get this working from the other machine too. [07:34] thank you... [07:35] Network Manager says "Wired network connection 'Auto eth0' active, but I cannot ping anything [07:35] No it isn't good enough.. it shows I have a connection but nothing is actually connected [07:36] randerzander: well try something like this just to see if it works http://paste.ubuntu.com/482767/ [07:37] randerzander: just type each command manualy you need to change the values to match your config [07:40] how do i set up a vpn on a vps , If im not in a localnetwork i only have an external ip? [07:40] How many years of education does it take to be able to make a difference and actually help out in developing Ubuntu? [07:41] what is "freenet"? [07:41] Fableflame: how long does it take to learn to read? I guess that long [07:41] Sacarlson: I mean with the coding and stuff [07:41] randerzander: that's the ip address of my server [07:42] Fableflame: that's a "how long is a string" type of question. Impossible to answer. [07:42] randerzander: you can fill it with a number that will work on you network [07:42] Fableflame: some people participate with no education at all, some people won't be able to do productive things after 15 years of education. [07:42] Fableflame: you can learn all that on google [07:42] Fableflame: as long as you can read [07:43] Fableflame: I suppose 10 years of a torture will develop necessary skills [07:43] on "sudo route del default" I get 'SIOCDELRT: No such process" [07:43] Fableflame: and you never stop learning till your dead [07:44] randerzander: yes you had none that's ok [07:44] What do you think the first thing I need to learn should be, if I want to help work on Ubuntu eventually? [07:45] Fableflame: programming on C language [07:45] randerzander: that's just to make sure you don't have 2 defaults [07:45] Fableflame: everything (whatever you want.) a distro is as wide as every piece of software it packages. [07:45] Fableflame: or python :) or packaging! or if you speak multiple languages you can start translating today... [07:46] exactly. [07:46] Which by the way, I apparently have a good patch, and I don't know where to go next. [07:46] Maybe someone can direct me [07:46] the last command indicates that /etc/resolv.conf.custom doesn't exist [07:47] I am JamesH: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9754872 [07:47] I don't even know where to file [07:47] randerzander: you will have to edit that file manualy [07:49] randerzander: I don't know what you use as a dns server you can test with opendns.org ip address of 208.67.222.222 [07:50] psilo2: you can file the bug here, then the triage team will add their remarks, just make sure you put ll the relevant package info: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug?no-redirect=no [07:50] KE1HA: thank you [07:51] randerzander: so that file should contain a single line like nameserver 208.67.222.222 [07:52] randerzander: the contents in it now just might work also, try ping google.com [07:52] hi. have fresh ubuntu with mysql server 5.1 but when I try to start it it complains cannot bind to 3306...and with nestat I see nothing else running there..tried changing port and still nothing. any clue what might issue be? [07:53] how long does it take 'passwords and encrypted keys' to generate a PGP key? [07:53] didn't work [07:53] I would like to discourage recommending OpenDNS' free nameservers, because they provide ads instead of NXDOMAINS. [07:54] i think this might be a hardware issue.. it doesn't work under Windows either [07:54] Not only is this annoying, but it breaks monitoring scripts. It is *bad* internet behavior. [07:54] sacarlson: ^ [07:54] but when I connect the same ethernet cord in the same port on the switch, it works just fine with my laptop [07:55] randerzander: oh you said it would ping in static [07:55] jmut: what's your bind address in the .cnf file ? [07:55] no, i said it wouldn't ping anything ever, even though Network Manager showed it was connected [07:56] Network Manager says "Wired network connection 'Auto eth0' active, but I cannot ping anything [07:56] randerzander: I thought the problem was it never got an IP address from dhcp but static can ping [07:56] no, it can't ping [07:56] randerzander: now it's set to static ip of what? [07:57] Hi. I have recently upgraded from Karmic to Lucid. Under Karmic, I remember installing thunderbird 3 from the nightly builds repository. Now under Karmic, I want to go back to the official thunderbird. I have two thunderbird packages now to choose from: "thunderbird" which is 2.0.0.24+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.2 and "thunderbird-3.0", which is 3.0.3~hg20100217r4732+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~karmic. [07:57] None of these match the "thunderbird" in Karmic, which should be 3.0.6+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1, according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/mail/thunderbird. Can anyone help me to fix this problem? (Command line only please) [07:57] right, i have it set to connect with a static IP of 192.168.1.148 [07:57] i cant play dvds on 10.04... help!!!! [07:57] randerzander: and your router I'm guessing is 192.168.1.1? and you can't ping that now? [07:58] if I leave ping going for about 10 minutes, it will randomly succeed.. I get 84% packet loss [07:58] randerzander: wow wierd [07:58] yes [07:58] randerzander: I have to agree must be hardware [07:59] randerzander: try another cable? [07:59] other cables: same result.. other ports on the router: same result [07:59] modem -> desktop works fine [07:59] modem -> router -> laptop works fine [07:59] randerzander: wow ok [07:59] modem -> router -> desktop borked [07:59] randerzander: almost sounds like another dhcpd server on the same net serving the same pool? [08:00] Hang on, I'll make a diagram of the LAN [08:00] psilo2: he has it set static and can't even ping the router 20% of the time [08:00] KE1HA: that was the problem. thank you [08:00] welcome. [08:00] I have one wireless router running a DHCP server and another older router (with wireless and DHCP clients disabled) acting as a switch [08:01] randerzander: psilo2: I sometimes have 2 dhcp servers running and don't have this kind of problem [08:01] hello [08:01] randerzander: only time I have problems like this is if someone is copy my mac address [08:01] It's okay to have two dhcp servers, it's a problem when the rules are clear, since clients hit the broadcast address. [08:01] i'm using ubuntu live cd now, but i need to use turkish characters on console [08:01] s/are/aren't/ [08:01] i can't load trq keys [08:02] ahhh [08:02] i get " cannot find file "symbols/trq" in any known directory " error [08:02] does my switch need to have a different subnet mask? [08:02] where can i find this file or how can i install it? [08:02] randerzander: oh your switch can cause that yes. reset your switch [08:03] reset it as in power cycle? [08:03] randerzander can you put the cable end to end and the same way, do the colours match exactly youmay have acrossover cable and some hardware, usually older, dont auto sence and thereforrequire the correctcable [08:03] randerzander: I asume its a dump switch yes [08:04] no, the switch is a linksys befw11s4 wireless b router with dhcp and wireless radio turned off [08:04] i'll check that none of the cables I am using are crossover, tremmons thanks for the suggestion [08:05] Hey, is it a bad idea to jump right into trying to learn C? Should I start out with a different Language and go up from there? [08:05] randerzander: my switch auto switchs for crossover cables [08:05] Fableflame, start with c [08:05] randerzander: I think most do these days [08:05] trying to install java and I get ": Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)" [08:05] I keep getting varied responses [08:05] Fableflame, also its offtopic here. you can try in #programming or #c or #c++ [08:06] oh, sorry [08:06] hi everyone, I am using an asus Eee PC and in ubuntu the trackpad doesnt work well, it works crazy, but it works in windows, any ideas how I can fix it? [08:06] Fableflame, if you clear your concept of c and c++ then it will be easy for you to pick up other languages fastly [08:06] I've just heard that C and C++ are complicated [08:07] recompiling my kernel yay [08:07] Fableflame, come in ##programming type /j #programming [08:07] * TiK watches term scroll [08:07] Fableflame: learning C is a bit like learning arithmatic.... but it may be easyer to just learn a language like python [08:08] amigojapan: thanks [08:08] trying to install java and I get "E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)". how do I fix this? [08:08] why would you learn C eew [08:08] none were crossover cables [08:08] sacarlson: he should pwr dwn the router / switch + inet moden, then pwr up the router, and ping test that, then the inet modem and ping outside the lan, that will tell which side is bork'ed. [08:08] TiK: because many languages are based on C [08:08] psycho789: sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list and fix line 54 [08:08] amigojapan: so [08:09] KE1HA: I thought the switch mode was one thing. [08:09] TiK: thats a good enough reason [08:09] sacarlson: thought he said his switch was the reouter as well. [08:09] router* [08:09] randerzander: do you have wireshare installed? [08:09] amigojapan: tv were around in the 60s now I have a high def.. yah know? [08:09] wireshark [08:10] no, but i can get it [08:10] sacarlson: either way, if he's getting -<10ms to the router, that side is ok. [08:10] TiK: but the syntax of many languages are simillar to C.... knowing C makes it easier to learn those languages [08:10] amigojapan: C# is not like C at all.. its more like java [08:11] TiK: and java is like C [08:11] C doesnt even have exceptions (well it DOES but they suck) [08:11] randerzander: KE1HA: i'm out of idea's try ke1's idea [08:11] also, if i unplug my dvr and only connect the router to the switch and my desktop to the switch, the desktop gets internet just fine [08:11] amigojapan: i'd rather jean java [08:12] jean?! [08:12] learn [08:12] ping the router gateway, the the ISP's addy, then their DNS srevers, then somehting like google or yahoo and compare results. [08:12] TiK: that is your choise... you can.... [08:12] sounds like the dvr has the same mac address? [08:12] anyway bedtime [08:12] why the guy black out that line? http://www.critical.ch/src/workspace.jpg [08:12] gnight tik [08:12] pz [08:12] what's private about that line? [08:13] KE1HA: randerzander so I guess now we know the problem is in the switch not ubuntu [08:13] thanks for the help [08:14] i don't think the DVR has the same mac address as my desktop [08:14] randerzander: but it didn't before? [08:14] the desktop is connected and pinging things fine without the dvr plugged in. we'll see what happens when I plug the DVR back in [08:15] I thought he said his router was the switch .. [08:15] TiK, thanks it worked [08:15] anyways, sounds solved, :-) [08:15] randerzander: well now that your connected you can install wireshark and you can also change your mac on ubuntu to monitor and find out what the dvr mac is [08:15] I started answering questions on the forums.. that way there if a google log of the problem [08:15] ok bed [08:15] KE1HA: only if he's happy with not haveing a dvr [08:16] hi [08:16] what is the best app to see all hardware specs on ubuntu? [08:16] true, but odd that two totally separate items have the same mac addy, but guess it's possible. [08:17] it'll be great if it has graphical ui [08:17] KE1HA: only time I ever see it is when it's on purpus [08:18] ankk: run CPU-Z under wine. [08:18] ok, i think it's just a very finnicky switch [08:18] everything's plugged in and working [08:18] where can I buy an ubuntu disk? [08:18] sacarlson: yeah, it's odd, but like u said, he can chg the mac addy easily. [08:18] no mac address conflicts [08:19] what would cause such strange behavior though? shoddy/dusty connection at the lan ports on the switch? [08:19] maybe there's a port forwarding or something to the DVR [08:19] randerzander: yes I've seen that, the rought the switch takes is dependend on what it last detected in the port, when you plug in it programs the mac in the switch [08:20] wouldn't port forwarding have to be configured on my router? [08:21] I have nothing configured for port forwarding [08:21] randerzander: normally yes, just trying to think why a DVR would cause collisions or conflicts. [08:22] maybe it's being piggy wiht bandwidth, does this thing DL from the net? [08:23] yeah it downloads movies from on-demand channels via the internet [08:24] randerzander: you would have to look at it with wireshark, you can take a better look if you route it through your ubuntu to watch all trafic to your dvr but I thought it worked [08:24] but nobody was watching anything on-demand when I couldn't get a connection to the desktop [08:25] randerzander: no I think it was the memorized switch setting in the switch. it auto detects the mac address of what was last pluged into it [08:25] and it does what with that? [08:25] set up a static ping and let it go for a while: ping -i 3 or 5 and get a good ave count, then plug this DVR in ans see if you start loosing pkt's again. [08:26] the dvr is plugged in now. i will start a ping test [08:26] randerzander: the mac address? it creates the path to the destination that your sytem request [08:26] randerzander: you need the DVR off the network first. then plug in to se if there's a change. === lucretiaX is now known as lucreX [08:26] kj4 http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/cds OR shipit.ubuntu.com [08:29] any vbox users in here willing to help me?

[08:38] randerzander touchy cable, bit flaky maybe.... prob at oneofthe ends.... wear and tear..... [08:38] fgreinus: from recovery mode, you could try uninstalling those packages [08:38] hi, what mail client is best for 10.04 / 1 exchange account / several imap accounts / gmail / hotmail? [08:39] thanks for the help tremmons, KE1HA, sacarlson [08:39] stanman246: evolution if you need to use exchange [08:39] stanman246: Evolution will do everything but the hotmail crap [08:39] randerzander: no problem [08:39] ok, thanks [08:39] the problem is, that i disabled those to be shown in grub :( [08:40] stanman246, maco: hotmail now supports POP3 [08:40] randerzander: just glad you back up and runn'en, dont brick ur router wiht the FW upg ! [08:40] magnetron: Don't you have to pay for that option? [08:40] syn-ack: not any longer [08:41] interesting. [08:41] the option was there, but was sucking to me...so i disabled it in grub config...there are just 3 entries for 3 different kernerl versions and my windows 7 entry [08:41] syn-ack: I think yahoo's the one that still makes you fork out fer it. [08:41] ah [08:45] Hi [08:45] what was the additional flag for pptp vpn config that will restart my connection when there occure some errors [08:45] ? [08:47] what? I can't find adobe reader or acroread in the repository? [08:47] olskolirc: Enable the partner repo [08:47] help | not able to connect to internet, dont know how to diagnose [08:47] ok syn-ack [08:47] am using eth0 [08:47] even tried dhcp [08:49] does anyone knows how to boot in recovery mode when i already disabled it to be shown in grub config? [08:51] fgreinus: are you able to get to the grub2 menu at all? [08:51] Hey, I've had trouble wording a google search for this so thought I'd ask in here! A bug in an app has created a folder with many, many sub folders ( layouts/landings/layouts/landings..... ) Neither in Windows nor Ubuntu have I had any luck deleting it, any ideas? [08:51] I've tried a couple of Windows tools and now in Linux I've tried rm -r layouts and the GUI delete [08:52] rm -r isn't giving any errors yet, it's just taking forever (which might just be how long it needs...) [08:52] KE1HA: you mean the normal menu to chose between linux and windows? [08:52] fgreinus: when you boot, what can you get too? [08:53] patabugen: it could take a while if there are alot of subs [08:53] 3 versions of ubuntu with different kernels and windows 7 [08:53] fgreinus: can press e for edit and pass single to it [08:54] what do i have to type there? [08:54] boomshankerx: ok.... I'll give it a little longer! Are there any limits to file length limit, it's an NTFS drive and windows complains it's too long :p [08:54] patabugen: linux usually handles that stuff much better [08:54] fgreinus: at the grub menu, you hover the balcon over a linux kernel, then press e.. [08:54] that's why I'm here :) Guess I'll make a coffee and see what happens! Ta [08:55] fgreinus: ok, so your able to get to the Grub2 boot menu then, just hit [c] at Grub menu or [esc] during the boot and select you original / mbr distro. [08:55] fgreinus: another menu opens, seecond line should be kernel, ending with sth like quite,spalsh.. [08:55] hello, long time lurker first time user :) [08:55] patabugen: how did you get so many nested dirs [08:56] I think it was a bug in a text editor('s file browser) in windows [08:56] fgreinus: from there, how did you disable the recover methods, in /etc/defaults/grub ? [08:56] i'm trying to install ubuntu alongside windows on a hp mini. Windows seems to be spread over several partitions, of which i've shrunk the largest one. That partition has paritions both to the right and to the left and for this reason (i guess) the ubuntu installer says the freed space is 'unusable'. What should I do? Is it possible to move partitions to the left (or is my guess wrong)? [08:56] fgreinus: there just single after space, then it is b or enter (or.. written in the bootom of that screen) to boot it [08:56] KE1HA: yes [08:56] patabugen: if you run rm -rv it will show whats being deleted [08:57] fgreinus: just put the # sign back in font of the line, then sudo grub-mkconfig /boot/grub [08:57] boomshankerx: ah, a splendid idea! So far, nothing, but let's see [08:58] hi [08:58] patabugen: you may also need 'rm -frv' but be careful with the 'f' [08:59] patabugen: especially if you are root [08:59] fgreinus: also make sure you sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/30_os_prober before you update grub if you changed the execute bit before hand. [08:59] boomshankerx: if rm -rv doesn't say anything for a few minutes can I presume it's not doing much? I've been pondering whether it goes all the way down, then works it's way up [09:00] patabugen: it has to [09:00] patabugen: is your hard drive chugging [09:00] DasEi:speak german? [09:00] fgreinus: not without google translation -) [09:00] fgreinus: yes, not in here, pm ? [09:01] DasEi: :) yes :) [09:01] boomshankerx: not audibly, but it's quite quiet generally [09:01] patabugen: IDE light blinking during the delete? [09:02] boomshankerx: steadily, but only a pip every couple of seconds [09:02] does anyone know which xorg version the 10.04 comes with? [09:02] patabugen: it would probably be solid if it was climbing the tree [09:02] !info xorg | ndxtg [09:02] ndxtg: xorg (source: xorg): X.Org X Window System. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 1 kB, installed size 36 kB [09:03] patabugen: try rm -frv just make sure that you choose the right folder [09:03] trying [09:03] boomshankerx: same thing thus far [09:03] thanks abhi [09:04] thanks abhijit [09:04] patabugen: let it run for a few [09:04] patabugen: are you sure the app is not still spawning the folders / files? [09:04] ndxtg, welcome. [09:04] patabugen: how are you running linux on the machine.... live cd? [09:05] boomshankerx: yeah, well live usb [09:05] and the dir is on a partition on my sata drive [09:05] patabugen: NTFS? [09:05] yep [09:05] Windows 7 === bilalakhtar_ is now known as bilalakhtar [09:08] can somebody please help me with "low graphics mode" issue? [09:08] DasEi: i'm back... [09:09] fgreinus: so ? [09:09] anyone know what burning software for Ubunto. That could Burn Video CD? [09:09] How can I open cmyk files with gimp ? [09:10] ubuntu desktop install is asking for the Network name? any suggestions? should i keep it short? [09:10] DasEi: it really looked like he was starting the tty1, but then it looked like before. one time there is a monitor signal, another time it's not [09:11] fgreinus: you can neither start the regualr nor the recoverymode ? [09:11] DasEi: yes [09:11] can somebody please help me with "low graphics mode" issue? [09:12] !ask | MWesten [09:12] MWesten: 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. :-) [09:12] patabugen: i just did a test by making a large tree of directories and deleted them [09:12] patabugen: it shows each one deleting with rm -frv [09:13] patabugen: something isn't working on your end [09:13] Ok thanks [09:13] boomshankerx: hm, how many levels down did you go? And was it on NTFS? [09:13] patabugen: you may have a problem with your file tables [09:13] patabugen: 10 deep and no [09:13] fgreinus: what did that make happen ? update or fresh install ? [09:13] patabugen: i'll go deeper [09:14] boomshankerx: chkdsk and friends might help, from what I can tell mine is about 600 deep! [09:14] DasEi: you mean update of the packages or fresh install of packages? [09:14] boomshankerx: my drive does seem to be responding very slow, which hopefully is the rm recursing... I just watched a ls appear line by line [09:14] DasEi: fresh install in that case [09:15] I have an issue: sometimes when my screensaver activates when I'm idle and then I'm back, I get the "running in low graphics mode" message. How can I fix that? I don't see any suggested drivers. My video is Intel 82G33/G31 integrated graphics. I only get the message when the screensaver activates and other thant hat my video works fine. Thanks. [09:15] i just did 100 on a EXT3 drive and it was faster than I could see [09:15] fgreinus: have you got a desktop cd handy ? [09:15] What are you using to create them? [09:15] i'm still downloading it... [09:15] patabugen: bash script [09:16] about 20 minutes left [09:16] boomshankerx: think it's worth me creating another to see if that one's fixable? [09:16] fgreinus: and where did you disable the entries for discoverymode ? [09:16] MWesten: Sad to know that you have been gacing a problem with Ubuntu, could you please tell us if you have installed all the available updates? [09:16] s/gacing/facing/ [09:17] hi i need to acces and change this file [09:17] where is 'this' file? [09:17] there are audio and dsp devices in /dev .. is there an equivelant interface created by pulseaudio? [09:17] DasEi: uh, that was from an tutorial on ubuntuusers or sth else. i have to look for it, wait [09:17] bilalakhtar thanks! Ubuntu is great! Yeah, I have all the updates installed. [09:17] .../etc/ufw/before.rules [09:17] how do i do it please? [09:17] patabugen: have you run chkdsk yet [09:18] fgreinus: I just wonder, because you said fresh install [09:18] patabugen: i'm not sure if fsck works on NTFS [09:18] boomshankerx: I've not, should I do that in Windows or is there a good-as linux one for ntfs? [09:18] !ufw | boywonder [09:18] boywonder: 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. [09:19] DasEi: ah, let's go into pm :) [09:19] my guide is tellin me different, i need to access this ile [09:19] file [09:19] MWesten: Are you using Ubuntu 10.04? [09:20] boomshankerx: I'm going to go into windows and run some disk checks, thank you greatly for your help! [09:20] MWesten: And, what is the exact message? [09:20] patabugen: ya I think that the best... fsck for ntfs looks questionable [09:21] boomshankerx: Ah curiously, I did "ls -R layouts/" and it was tremendously slow, as soon as I then Ctrl + C's the rm -rvf layouts it whizzed into action, so rm must have been doing.. something [09:21] bilalakhtar yes, Ubuntu 10.04 and it says "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. Screen, Graphics card & input device settings could not be detected corrected" that happens just when I disable the screensaver (and just sometimes) [09:22] boomshankerx: ls -R also slows down dramaticalyl as the paths get very long [09:22] patabugen: are you sure its only 600 deep [09:23] MWesten: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1518213&ei=TYFzTIWBF5KTjAf24KDIDw&usg=AFQjCNHY354fVFXnZC2CGklfM53cEAT8Fw [09:23] boomshankerx: no, the 600 came from a windows tools I was trying to use to recursivly delete, it got to around 600 and did no more [09:23] patabugen: i would throw out what ever editor did this too [09:23] can someone help to findout why resktop doesn't autostart after x ? [09:24] boomshankerx: ahh no it's an awesome editor! [09:24] patabugen: what is it? [09:24] If I install Ubuntu along side Windows 7 to dual boot, that's not gonna get rid of my Windows loader is it? I'll still be able to boot 7, right? [09:24] Programmers Notepad ( Fableflame pnotepad.org ) [09:24] oops, sorry Fableflame [09:24] Fableflame i just dual booted it on xp [09:24] bilalakhtar Thanks, I'm reading it right now [09:25] boomshankerx: I'm so fond of it I run it in Wine too ;) [09:25] It seems like I read somewhere that it would overwrite the Windows bootloader [09:25] patabugen: heh...submit a bug report then... [09:26] I've posted on the forum, when I get back to windows I'll play some more and see if I can make a proper bug report [09:26] boomshankerx: ls -R is up to 300 children so far [09:27] !chroot > fgreinus [09:27] fgreinus, please see my private message [09:27] bilalakhtar I have read it, so you think that if I change my screensaver that could help? I have the matrix one. Also, If I go to the hardware drivers I can't see anything. [09:27] MWesten: ask somebody else, I will BRB [09:28] hi everyone [09:28] hey can anyone help me out with this ECHO REPLY [09:28] is there a software that can burn Video CD in Ubuntu? [09:28] bilalakhtar Thanks man!!! [09:28] like wuhar [09:28] I have a problem with apache2 and mysql not starting on boot [09:29] I ran update-rc.d and the scripts are linked in /etc/rc*, but it does not start [09:30] if i start manually it works [09:30] !grub > fgreinus [09:30] fgreinus, please see my private message [09:31] also i don't see any errors in the log [09:31] patabugen: find . -type d | wc -l [09:31] rshanks, theres a program that is called bum that changes what services load at boot [09:32] sudo apt-get install bum [09:32] patabugen: run that inside the first folder [09:32] update-rc.d is not the preferred way to configure startup script anymore? [09:32] rshanks: never was [09:32] patabugen: find name_of_folder -type d | wc -l [09:33] rshanks: it was a way to configure them in maintainer scripts inside packages, but not for humans... and now that ubuntu doesnt even use sys-v init scripts... i find its compatibility unlikely [09:34] ok, thanks guys, this was really frustrating [09:34] rshanks: jobservice & jobs-admin are what you want. there's a ppa for lucid and its in the repos for maverick === Fableflame is now known as Fableflame_bed [09:34] although... hmm.. jobs-admin is gtk. so need a gui [09:34] so ssh -X might be needed [09:34] boomshankerx: will that be quicker than "ls -R | wc"? (which gives three lines for every one line, but I've already had running for several minutes) [09:35] is there a way to turn off pulseaudio (and reverto ALSA) without uninstalling pulseaudio? [09:35] sinan: turn off autospawn in /etc/default/pulse [09:35] patabugen: probably not [09:35] sinan: be aware you will no longer have a volume applet and will need to use alsamixer [09:35] patabugen: since there aren't any files in the folders [09:36] boomshankerx: that's up to 458 children so far [09:36] sinan: might be /etc/default/pulseaudio ... been a while. but im headed to bed so... im sure you'll find it [09:36] maco: jobservice is more appropriate than bum? [09:36] boomshankerx: and takes a few seconds for each additional one [09:37] maco: thanks, found the file but didn't find the setting, i'll look more into it now that i have a direction [09:37] rshanks: i dont know if bum can do the upstart scripts... [09:37] rshanks: its old enough to be from sysv days. dont know if its been updated for upstart or not [09:37] sinan: What problem are you having with pulseaudio that makes you want to remove it? Have you tried asking in #pulseaudio to see if they can help you fix it? [09:38] Jordan_U: pulseaudio doesn't play well with ekiga, their page recommends switching to alsa when using ekiga :) [09:38] Jordan_U: but i'll check #pulseaudio, seems like a nice idea [09:38] sinan: ah you just need pasuspender [09:38] patabugen: when i run that in my home folder i get over 2000 in a blink [09:38] sinan: can keep pulseaudio just run "pasuspender -- ekiga" [09:38] patabugen: something isn't right [09:38] maco: ok, checking [09:38] /part [09:38] boomshankerx: I'm going to have to get back into windows and get some work done, I think I'll start this again this evening and do a chkdsk while I'm in windows [09:39] patabugen: i think thats a good plan [09:39] boomshankerx: thank's, much appreciated! :) I'll probably be back in irc shortly [09:39] patabugen: i'm off to bed...see you around [09:40] hi all. somebody know winetricks ? [09:40] boomshankerx: oh! It's just finished! [09:40] patabugen: good luck [09:40] boomshankerx: 481 total, good to know but still far too slow [09:40] patabugen: ever heard of spinrite? [09:40] nope [09:41] patabugen: its a drive maintenance tool...doesn't fix the ntfs part but checks the drive for bad sectors and such....really works [09:41] i was installed winetricks, in ubuntu lucid. n i try to install flash for windows from it. do someone know my problem? [09:41] boomshankerx: I'll have a google, thanks! [09:42] it can't work. [09:42] hi! which process/package takes care of mounting a usb-pen-drive automatically? [09:42] boomshankerx: sleep well! bye!

The subset of things that cfdisk (changing the partition table) can do can be done almost instantly with gparted as well. [09:53] <|_ocke> it took a few hours [09:54] |_ocke: Ow, yeah, that'll do it. [09:54] Jordan_U, just helping. [09:55] <|_ocke> yeah one of my students accidentally did taht once in one of my a+ classes, moved a 400gb partition by 16 bytes [09:56] |_ocke, so what happen? :) [09:56] <|_ocke> wizzle_, it took like 6 hours but it worked [09:56] <|_ocke> and he had 16 bytes free on the beginning of the drive [09:57] 6 hours is good... i copy 80GB to another disc over night last week :/ [09:58] |_ocke: I had to kind of start my own Linux after-class class in my A+ lessons [09:58] <|_ocke> veovis_muaddib, i always start mini linux class in my a+ classes [09:59] guys how can i open cmyk files with gimp ? [09:59] <|_ocke> ibrahim-kasem, there is a plugin you can get for it [09:59] <|_ocke> it's not great though [09:59] <|_ocke> if you're serious about doing print graphics gimp isn't good enough :( [10:00] ibrahim-kasem: I'm not up to date with GIMP, but last I checked it's pretty poor at cymk [10:00] <|_ocke> photoshop wins in that case [10:00] *cmyk [10:00] |_ocke, veovis_muaddib thnx guys [10:00] I have Nikon cam, n try to make RAW file from my pic. but it can't opened in GIMP. how bout that?

Photoshop it is, even if I have to change over to OS X or Windows to use it [10:02] <|_ocke> i love gimp, but there is no way i could teach what i teach if it was the only option [10:03] veovis_muaddib, can i open NEF file in GIMP?

I think: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/anyone-know-how-to-install-make-on-ubuntu-kubuntu-460161/ [10:36] ok thq have enough to read again [10:36] ;) [10:39] !netsplit [10:39] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [10:39] I seem to have (made) a file inaccessible [10:40] thx Chousuke and Viglite works ! i tought i already had the complier qt4.. what are those essentials [10:40] Mimo: build-essential is a metapackage that installs a compiler (the g++ that was missing) and some basic stuff for you === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [10:41] ciao [10:42] ls -l returns " -????????? ? ? ? ? ? 2010-08.log " on the file [10:44] Alth: ls -l , as in L but lower case? [10:44] yes [10:44] Alth: Did you do ls first? [10:45] yes.. [10:46] Alth: I just ran it here, worked fine, is it a new Terminal session? [10:46] I'm not asking about ls [10:46] Xdoesnt twitter have a page where I can see which uses i have blocked?? :( I blocked like 50 people this year, and now I need to unblock one of them but i cant remember his/her user name [10:46] opps wrong room. [10:47] I'm wonder what I should do to try to make this file writeable/readable again [10:48] The file is an irc channel log, it was fine a fwe minutes ago when I was grepping it :S [10:48] few* [10:50] Alth: Output like that (from ls -l) may indicate filesystem corruption. I'd run an fsck on that filesystem. [10:50] is there an easy way to download an mms audio link file? [10:52] am getting message Desktop effects could not be enabled when enabling visual effects with ubuntu 10.04 and a ATI HD5750. This worked ok on ubuntu 9.10 [10:55] jacob2010: did you try run jockey-gtk [10:57] sacarlson: yes and that the message i get when enabling visual effects using the recommended driver [11:02] jacob2010: maybe you need to try this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/how-to-enable-direct2d-acceleration-in.html [11:02] hi [11:03] firefox crashed with no messages, no warnings, no nothing [11:03] pepee had that problem before on some sites [11:04] it's incredible, I've just found many bugs in ffox, and now this [11:04] how do i configure an iscsi target on 10.04 lts [11:04] ? [11:04] it always seems to work on those sites for me when I use the chrome browser [11:04] Should "add-apt-repository" (the "apt" command which is not called "apt-something") edit *every* ppa when I add a new ppa ? [11:05] I had like 60-80 open tabs :'( [11:05] hi [11:05] BlueChip, don't think so [11:05] !hi | mobal [11:05] mobal: 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! [11:05] sacarlson: Thanks [11:05] pepee: cool, not me going mad ...I'm amazed something that buggy made it in to a stable release [11:06] pepee: I think it's a bug in flash maybe not firefox [11:06] ...add-apt-repository also backs-up and `touch`es sources.list every time I add a PPA [11:07] Hi people! [11:07] sacarlson, maybe, but I think ffox shouldn't crash because of flash [11:08] Hey all [11:08] hi jayne gleizer [11:08] pepee: well only solution I have when I really want to see it is use chrome that seems to have an imbedded flash plugin [11:08] * jaypro [11:08] Hehehe [11:08] I am Mauricio Gleizer [11:09] I have a prblem with my hp dv7-3065dx in Lucid amd64 [11:09] is the any setting in ubuntu that i can set the format of time that shows up and the default currency and decimal points like in windows? [11:09] After upgrade, 2 weeks ago, no sound [11:09] Anybody can help me? [11:10] hi, i have a problem booting from livecd, it hangs at the splash screen and pressing an arrow key gives me the following: "stdin: error 0 unable to open '/dev/sda'", any ideas? [11:10] gleizer, do u have sound if u put headphone? [11:11] skumara: you can look at the preferences in the time date applet to change as you desire. another option is to use a different applet [11:11] skumara, you should check the system settings.. [11:11] gleizer: when this happened to me, I needed to use `alsa-mixer` and un-mute the output ...not sure if it holds any relevance to you at all [11:11] Kha_, tried checking the cd? [11:11] guys I've been googling for a while but I can't make sense of it. I made a logical volume with LVM but it gets mounted with root permissions so my user cannot access it [11:11] Kha_, check the md5sum of the .iso [11:12] skumara: as far a currency that would be dependent on the application like openoffice spread sheet or write have settings for currency [11:12] jubei, check the /etc/fstab file [11:12] pepee, thanks, will check it out. [11:12] Quick Poll: Do you use both router AND OS firewall? [11:12] pepee, i'll check [11:13] pepee sacarlson i have system testing, system monitor but no system testing or time and date setting? [11:13] skunura, no sound in headphone [11:13] IIRC there is an app to modify the fstab file [11:14] gleizer, when this happen on my hp compaq presario cq42 i have to update alsa, than it worked. [11:14] pepee: :O ...that would save me endless hassle, I spend half my life buggering around with fstab's ...any idea what the app is called? [11:14] jubei: I would assume you can change the permision with chown useryouwant:groupyouwant /directory/you_mounted_at [11:14] search ubuntu forum for alsa update script gleizer . [11:14] sacarlson, no you cannot do that to an lvm [11:15] sacarlson: if the device mount options are bad, you need to change them - that's in the FilingSystemTABle [11:15] and neither does fstab, which specifies who is allowed to mount and unmount it, not who owns it [11:15] so FSTAB is filing system table.... [11:16] BlueChip, couldn't find it, sorry [11:16] pepee: np dude - thanks for checking :) [11:16] sacarlson, how to set time and adte to show up in this order dd/mm/yyyy? [11:16] jubei: BlueChip: I never used lvm so I will have to verify. I never see persisions set at mount [11:17] BlueChip all ok in alsa-mixer [11:17] gleizer, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810 [11:17] anyone here run Seamonkey from the Getdeb repos on UNR? It's incredibly unstable for me [11:17] gleizer: first make your putty session as wide as you can, or realise half the options are off the screen [11:17] Whenever I try to connect using pidgin to google talk it says "Not Authorized" I've tried changing settings recommended by posts in ubuntu forums to no avail. Is it normal for Pidgin to add a "/" to my google talk username? [11:17] ...you can cursor left/right to find them [11:17] skumara: if you mean on the standard applet seems that's not an option [11:17] pepee, md5 is the same [11:18] gleizer: if any of them are MMuted ...hit M to un-mute them [11:18] Kha_, that message about the sda partition is strange [11:18] It used to just work for years... [11:18] Kha_, try unplugging your USB drives [11:18] I just became the admin of a gnu/linux system that I think is ubuntu [11:18] but I'm not sure how to establish that for sure [11:19] ah, nevermind :D [11:19] pepee, there's nothing plugged in [11:19] it has apt-get so I figure it's almost certainly a debian deivative of some sort [11:19] not sure what else to check [11:20] sacarlson, turns out chown works^^ had been forgetting to do sudo. But the thing is how to get the system to do it on boot instead of manually everytime [11:20] hey folks .. supp [11:21] Hail_Spacecake: lsb_release -a [11:21] jubei: so I guess since lvm is use to create a partition in a partition maybe the directory that it is created in must have the needed permistions of user:group of the desired users. [11:21] Jordan_U, there's no lsb_release command [11:22] Hail_Spacecake: Then it's not Ubuntu. [11:22] sacarlson, but the directory is in my home dir and I had permissions, but on boot it goes back to root. [11:22] jubei: oh cool [11:22] Hail_Spacecake, uname -a [11:22] uname doesn't give any useful information, other than that it's gnu/linux [11:22] sacarlson, thanks though for the help. will investigate further. [11:22] Kha_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/406192 [11:23] jubei: ok [11:24] Kha_, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22stdin%3A+error%22+%22unable+to+open+%2Fdev%2Fsda%22 [11:24] how do you mount in the desktop? [11:25] Hail_Spacecake, http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/37877-how-tell-os-via-command-line.html [11:25] itsux2bu, you just mount to your home folder/Desktop [11:25] itsux2bu: many things on the desktop are automounted [11:25] Hail_Spacecake, http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Admin/release-files.html [11:26] itsux2bu: just go to Places and click on the partition that is normaly seen on the bottom of the window [11:26] i'm running vbox and using a shared folder.. i told vbox what to do but desktop isn't showing anything [11:26] pepee, neither of those are particularly helpful [11:26] Kha_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474180&page=1 [11:27] Kha_, this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9333369&postcount=4 [11:27] itsux2bu: then you must be using samba? with window? [11:29] i've done this with server.. at the command line.. but not with desktop.. [11:29] Hail_Spacecake, any luck? [11:29] itsux2bu: are we using samba? [11:29] with server i used a monut command [11:29] yeah it's debian 4.0 [11:29] thanks [11:30] ohh [11:30] bye people [11:30] Anyone have some slimming pointers for Ubuntu Server? [11:30] itsux2bu: what operating systems are in the vbox? [11:30] krainboltgreene: #ubuntu-server [11:30] on server i installed samba as i was installing.. but desktop didn't ask me to install samba [11:30] pepee, still get unable to open /dev/sda [11:30] i don't know if samba is installed or not [11:31] itsux2bu: it only install it when needed. if you right click in a folder and choose share [11:31] itsux2bu: samba is not installed by default you must install it on the ubuntu side apt-get install samba [11:31] guys is there a way to tell samba to have files written by guests belong to a certain username? [11:31] Kha_, sorry I can't help you... try the alternate CD or an old one [11:32] pepee, np, thanks anyway [11:32] i don't think vbox uses samba.. do you know for a fact it does? to use its shared folders feature? [11:32] /j #vbox [11:33] isoman2kx, vbox use samba [11:33] jubei: yes forceuser=useryouwant forcegroup=groupyouwant [11:33] vbox doensn't use samba [11:33] sacarlson, awesome thank you! [11:33] hello [11:33] it uses shared folders [11:33] i'm going to exit desktop and add a line to fstab and reboot [11:33] sudo -S $COMMAND smbmount //192.168.1.159/C /media/xp -o username=masteris,password= [11:34] but in the windows VMs it shows the shared folders as smb resources [11:34] itsux2bu: vbox is just a simulated platform to run another system that can support samba [11:36] bye people [11:37] hi [11:39] what keystroke exits desktop? [11:39] !dontzap [11:39] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [11:39] ouch [11:39] !sysrq [11:39] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [11:40] ii thought there was a ctrl-alt-f1 or ctrl-alt-?? [11:40] Hi people [11:41] Problem resolved [11:41] In the simple way [11:41] itsux2bu: all that stuff you doing is done automaticly in the GUI nautilus [11:41] Here the solution: [11:41] itsux2bu: that only changes to a virtual terminal. it does not kill the X server [11:41] In System|Preferences|Sound I have the following in the hardware tab: [11:41] Internal Audio [11:41] 1 Output [11:41] Analog Stereo Output [11:41] Profile: Analog Stereo Output. [11:41] gleizer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:41] i know.. i do a sudo gdm stop [11:42] And then, up the volume in gnome alsa-mixer [11:42] Thanks [11:42] what is the command to start the file browser thingy from prompt? [11:42] dogmatic69: 'nautilus' [11:42] thanks [11:42] The solution in this link: http://www.pubbs.net/201003/ubuntu/36451-hp-laptop-pavilion-dv7-3165-no-sound.html [11:43] dogmatic69: to see which command is being run by the GUI you can look at the list of running processes. [11:44] cool, how do i do that :P [11:45] Chousuke: It does not look like overheating. lm_sensors is not showing any alarming rise. [11:45] I have removed the executable permission from init and reboot just in case something was invoking them. [11:45] can i use --force-architecture with gdebi? === Administrator is now known as Guest4273 [11:45] Thanks BlueChip and zzzed and skumara [11:46] loutasker: what are you installing? [11:46] for example: sudo gdebi-gtk --force-architecture [package].deb [11:46] jrib, Python-Ogre... [11:46] loutasker, what you want to do? [11:46] refuses to install the package python-celementree [11:46] *python-celementtree [11:46] i get "wrong architecture" [11:47] loutasker, its --force-all [11:47] dogmatic69: from the command line you can list processes in various ways, for example 'ps x'; from the GUI there is a little applet, can't remember the name in GNOME. [11:47] i'm running 64bit [11:47] right [11:47] thank you [11:47] loutasker: why don't you just use a package with the righ arch? [11:47] cannot find it in the repos [11:47] or google for that matter [11:48] Walex: thanks [11:48] loutasker: you could build one [11:49] i could, but is there any real benefit in me doing that over just forcing it? [11:49] !info python-ogre [11:49] Package python-ogre does not exist in lucid [11:49] jrib,you mean we can build a 64 bit package from 32 bit? how? :-o tell me i need this [11:49] loutasker: not forcing it [11:50] can i know someone named farious is here [11:50] abhijit: well there's a ppa with that package for karmic, but not lucid. So first thing I would do is just emulate what that person did for a more recent version of python-ogre [11:50] jrib, i'm struggling to even find the source on google [11:50] ServerTech, which irc client you are using? [11:50] jrib, no [11:50] jrib, not for python-ogre. i am asking in general [11:51] Im using xChat now why abhijiy, my name is shreyas :) [11:51] loutasker: one of the limitations od DPKG (and APT) is that you cannot have packages from different architectures or versions installed at the same time. [11:51] jrib, e.g.e i need this for my mobile media convertor package its 32 bit only [11:51] loutasker: https://edge.launchpad.net/~mithro/+archive/ppa would be where I'd start. Then I'd go to the official ogre page and find out why they don't do it themselves [11:51] ServerTech, then on the right side you can see all the present users nicks! === Lanlost is now known as GoGoLandoCalriss === GoGoLandoCalriss is now known as Lanlost [11:51] i figured out the sequence.. terminal, enter: sudo start gdm, then press: cltr-alt-f1, then login, then enter: pkill x [11:51] *stop gdm [11:52] abhijit : ik that, but there are 1200 people [11:52] :| [11:52] ServerTech, scroll down! [11:52] ik [11:53] is there a way to discover the last time an application has been used by the system? I noticed that access times seem only to change when a flle is edited === madsane is now known as d3v [11:54] Do you if it's possible to install a windows partition after installed Linux Ubuntu? [11:54] please [11:54] guillaume_: Yes, it is [11:54] ghostlines: I think the last time accessed is also recorded and can be seen in nautilus [11:54] thanks veovis_muaddib :) === d3v is now known as d3v0 [11:55] guillaume_: What you have to do is resize the partition from the ubuntu install disk, then install Windows, then book from the ubuntu install disk and reinstall GRUB [11:55] it's not fun [11:55] *book is boot [11:56] Okey, understood ;) However, I've a last question, where can I resize the partition of Ubuntu [11:56] Is there a tool or an applet to do that? [11:56] veovis_muaddib: I think gparted can resize partitions [11:56] guillaume_ use gparted if you need to [11:56] gedit is a text editor similar to windows notepad? [11:57] gtroy, how about qtparted? [11:57] Ok, I will use gparted, resize my partition, then install windows on this free partition [11:57] sacarlson: Yes, it can, but you have to not be booted off of the partition you are resizing [11:57] itsux2bu: yeah, it's an all purpose editor [11:57] thanks guys :) [11:57] guys press win key + w when you have many windows on the desktop [11:57] veovis_muaddib: so boot a live cd the run gparted [11:58] sacarlson: yes, guillaume_, read sacarlson's last message [11:58] oh yeah! thanks for the advise! [11:59] Have a good day guys, and thanks all again [11:59] in gedit.. the file i want to edit is on the screen.. i see a cursor.. but when i hit enter to add a line it just beeps.. [12:00] is this a permissions thing? [12:01] maybe the file is read-only (to you) [12:01] do i have grant myself edit rights.. or something? [12:01] `ls -al filename` [12:01] hey there, im having trouble with getting my wifi to work since an update [12:01] how do i do a "sudo" in the desktop? [12:02] itsux2bu: not really familiar with gedit, but what file? [12:02] fstab [12:02] /etc/fstab [12:02] fstab is protected - yes [12:02] itsux2bu: close gedit, run: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab . Why are you editing fstab? [12:02] rewire: try lsusb or lshw what device is it? [12:03] mount a folder at boot time [12:03] itsux2bu: personally I would ctrl-alt-f3 ...aptget install mc ...sudo mcedit /etc/fstab [12:03] i just grabbed CDFS-src from synaptic, obviously need to compile it, where does it place it ? [12:04] when i'm not in desktop i use nano [12:05] itsux2bu: fair call - always advise people to take a peek at `mcedit` - but as you highlight `nano` is commonly pre-installed and therefore a far more reliable hit [12:05] jrib, you said "run" ? [12:06] itsux2bu: yeah, in a terminal... [12:06] sacarlson: well using iwconfig tells me its a RaLink STA, lshw tells me theres an Atheros AR8132, if i try and plug my ubuntu machine into another ubuntu computer that's working, eth0 fails to connect to the net [12:06] ok [12:07] rewire: are you using a crossover cable? [12:07] seems as if to do anything useful.. *nix still needs the command line.. [12:07] zzzed: yeah standard CAT5 ethernet cable, surely the working ubuntu machine should share the internet connection? [12:07] any admin or system work.. the command line still is needed [12:08] itsux2bu: if you don't want the command line... alt-f2 and put the command there [12:08] how to write qt4(c++) progrms in ubuntu 10.04?is there any library needed? [12:08] itsux2bu: command line is beautiful though, embrace it :) [12:08] rewire, to connect to boxes you need to use a crossover cable, not a standard ethernet cable [12:09] rewire, *two [12:09] Sid123, there is qt channel you can ask in #qt [12:09] rewire: seems that device has a history. I think you need to find a driver to compile or find another kernel 2.6.27 that suposed to have it already [12:09] now thats what i'm used to in windows.. keeping the user totally ignorant.. lol [12:09] zzzed: the cable i used appeared to work and i gained a connection, then eth0 on the laptop thats not working cut out and i lost it [12:10] sacarlson: cheers :D is there any hassle free way of doing it? via .deb or apt-get? [12:11] Hey i just installed lucid lynx on my IBM thinkpad T42, i turned the visual effects off to do a bit of testing, now when i try to re-enable them it tells me "Desktop effects could not be enabled", what gives??? [12:11] rewire: you might try jockey-gtk [12:11] Has a ATI mobility radeon 7500 AGP gphx card if that helps [12:12] rewire: but I think the working one is an open source solution [12:12] it worked fine before i turned the desktop effects off, now i cant turn it back on [12:12] sacarlson: so where would i go to get it? === |dinya_| is now known as dinya_ [12:13] rewire: jokey-gtk System>administration>Hardware driver [12:13] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-elementtree (>= 1.2.6-9) << does this mean the version i have is too superior to be used with the package i'm tying to isntall?

[12:26] i install g++ in my laptop..but it doesn't compile cpp program..wat's the reason [12:26] VirusTB: You can't and even though if you view the sender-ip w/ your email-program it doesn't necessarily mean that this was the original sender. So sorry - if someone is threatening you should go to the police. [12:26] babu__, Have you installed "build-essential"? [12:27] don't know..how to check it... [12:27] mhck well if i dont know who is threatning me"? how can i go to the police lol [12:27] babu__, open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" without the quotes and then press enter [12:28] babu__, it will most likely ask for your password [12:29] VirusTB: In my country thats the job of the police to find out :-) Other than that I think this is oftopic.

[12:45] post the code to pastebin (or such) I'll take a look :) [12:46] how to paste the code [12:46] babu__: you need to read a basic c++ tutorial [12:46] go to pastebin.org and guess ;) [12:47] babu__: iostream.h is not what you use in c++. ##c++ can help you more [12:48] Hi, I am running Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit on my desktop with dual monitors. For the last few mornings when I wake up my monitors are not displaying anything (normal since my screen saver was blank) but I can't manage to get a login prompt or any life out of the system without restarting.

I have a 500 gig extrernal drive I want to install to. but the drive has backups on it so i cant reformat the drive [13:08] is there a way to install to a certain folder on this drive without losing my backups? === suigeneris is now known as ogun === ogun is now known as suigeneris [13:08] hello i've got a small issue i hope, i've just compiled the xen-4.0.1-rc6-pre.gz and vmlinuz-2.6.31.14 ob ubuntu 10.04.1, It looks like that XEN will be loaded, but after that i get the following error message "mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device".I've got no idea where the problem is. [13:08] i did that menuentry "Ubuntu, Xen ext2c" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) multiboot /xen-4.0.1-rc6-pre.gz [13:09] module /vmlinuz-2.6.31.14 dummy=dummy root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash console=tty0 module /initrd.img-2.6.31.14 } [13:09] i've tried as well to use UUID of root and as well without splash console quiet or with single each time the same error and as well without dummy [13:09] danub, You can use gparted to resize the partition [13:09] anyone there who could help ? [13:09] DougEdey: so i just have to repartition the drive and install to that new partition and it will leave the rest of my backups in tact? [13:09] hi people, i tried to implement thin client but i found an error in installing ltsp-client-core, it says cannot be installed on this regular machine, how do i fix this? [13:10] danub, Yup, there will be a risk that it could fail, you must remember that, I'd never recommend installing to a backup drive. The other option is WUBI (Windows Ubuntu Installer) it creates a virtual drive on a harddrive and boots to that so your partitions do not change. The problem with that is that I've seen a Windows NTFS drive corrupt it [13:11] guys, any idea what the heck keeps reseting my /etc/hosts file ? I keep changing the hostname and it keeps getting reset... [13:11] mae_tae: which command did you run exactly? [13:11] !hostname | umc [13:11] umc: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. === lex is now known as fishor [13:11] DougEdey: yeah ,i noramally dont install to my backup disk, but this is for a friend and he has some data on hi s drive already [13:11] thx [13:12] umc: so edit /etc/hostname and then (and only then) /etc/hosts to match hostname [13:12] moldy, when i tried to install openssh-server === ServerTechPro is now known as ServerTech [13:12] DougEdey: ill just give it a new partition and install to the new partition :) thank you [13:12] mae_tae: we need to know the exact commands you entered, otherwise we will not be able to help [13:13] moldy the client can now receive the ip address from the server but it seems it fails on TFTP [13:13] has someone used XEN 4.x before with ubuntu ? [13:13] Cuddle-Ing: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [13:13] my sound was working in ubuntu 8.04 but not in 10.04 in my sony vaio . Can anyone help please ................ [13:13] mae_tae: check your server-side tftp logs [13:14] thanks erUSUL. hope it stays set this time [13:14] moldy, what directory and what file? sorry im new to networking [13:15] moldy, do i need also to modify /etc/network/interface? do i need to assign IP address on their? [13:15] i guess i got issues with grub2 [13:15] my touchpad which is detected as 'ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse' is not working att all, please help [13:16] but did not find the problem [13:16] mae_tae: usually not [13:16] umc, try chattr -i /etc/hosts [13:16] so you can protect your etc/hosts file [13:16] mae_tae: i'd run tftpd in the foreground to see what is going on [13:16] mae_tae: stop the running tftpd, then run "tftpd -L" [13:16] is there an option for STAND BY, instead of SUSPEND in 10.04????????? [13:17] yes, check in power management.. id also suggest not YELLING [13:17] there is none [13:17] onlu suspend [13:17] pakete: system - preferences - power management [13:18] serious ? i thought there way.. ok my mistake [13:18] which seems like sleeping but take power while on sleep [13:18] does ubuntu use a file called /etc/inittab ? [13:18] pakete: hybernate ?? [13:18] moldy, ah ok, again, so its just fine if i dont assign any IP on interface? [13:18] i need normal, regular stand by like in windows on lid closure [13:19] hey guys [13:19] this one freez but still exhilirate power from battery [13:19] so stupid [13:19] anyone can tell what is the kernel version for 10.04 server? [13:19] why so? [13:19] itsux2bu: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/since-we-have-no-etc-inittab-506281/ [13:19] mae_tae: no, your server must have an ip address, of course [13:19] hello. I have a usb keyboard connected on my laptop running 10.04, and it will randomly (maybe periodically, every 1.5 seconds or so) freeze up for just a bit. not much of an issue, just a small annoyance. it doesnt happen with the normal laptop keybard. [13:19] mae_tae: and it must be a fixed one [13:20] mae_tae: it does not matter *how* the server gets the address, but it must have one [13:20] moldy, it seems that error comes out when i tried to install openssh-server, it came out that blue dialog box, and displays ltsp-client-core cannot be installed on this machine [13:20] mae_tae: you still did not give me the exact commands you were running. i cannot help without them. [13:20] moldy, i see, so that means on example eth0, i will assign a fixed IP address [13:21] i'm trying to have an iptables rule applied, but it shoots with "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name" [13:21] hi [13:21] the rule is: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j MASQUERADE [13:21] join #ubuntu-server [13:21] i have no idea where, why and how you were trying to install openssh-server [13:21] anyone knows how to solve this? [13:21] ok [13:21] i cannot help you if you don't give me more exact information [13:22] So I want to try to install a driver, but I'm not confident that the driver will still work. If I install the driver... and it doesn't work, is there anyway to go back? [13:22] moldy, its alright, sorry i can no longer try it again, im no longer in the lab, but what i remember example when i try this command sudo apt-get install openssh-server, thats all [13:22] Jinxed-, you can uninstall it [13:23] smw, how do you uninstall it [13:23] Jinxed-, how do you install it? [13:23] smw, in order to install it I have to use a makefile [13:23] what was that keystroke to get a run box again? [13:23] itsux2bu, Alt-F2 [13:24] Jinxed-, what I would do is make a package. But that is a little advanced [13:24] Jinxed-: if there is a makefile then make uninstall might do the job [13:24] Jinxed-, some make files come install and uninstall [13:24] Jinxed-, what wastl said [13:24] If I pastebined the readme would you take a look at it and tell if you think it could easily be undone? [13:25] Jinxed-, why do you want this driver? [13:25] what is it for? [13:25] moldy, seems this command ltsp-update-sshkeys, i remember when i type that it seems that i wasnt install something like that [13:26] smw, it is for pc 104+ form factor mpeg encoder [13:26] smw, wastl these were the instructions I coudl find: http://pastebin.com/Vv0Mv71M [13:28] Hi Xvid format is not running in mozilla.. any idea how to play this? [13:28] Jinxed-, it does not look easily undo-able [13:28] smw, what does kernel source tree mean? [13:28] Can I use 2 network on my box? one of them for internet(80...8080) and second for torrent? I have 2 NIC and 2 network connected alredy but how to configure? [13:28] Jinxed-: can you pastebin the makefile? [13:29] ok.. so how do i start the desktop from running at boot up? [13:29] *stop [13:29] Jinxed-, the kernel source tree is the entire linux source code [13:29] wastl, there is a custom script. Make does not do the install [13:29] smw: no its the souce code of the linux kernel [13:29] wastl, Makefile: http://pastebin.com/xnu2fB2h [13:29] wastl, that is all of linux :-P [13:29] itsux2bu, What desktop are you trying to start? [13:30] If I expand al ext3 filesystem of 150GB by about 5GB...then the expansion process will be a hell of a lot faster than if I expanded it by 100GB amirite? Or..it would still be the same? I'd be using resizefs === z0net is now known as Zonetti [13:30] wastl, everything on top has its own name :-P [13:31] kokozedman: i believe you need to specify an interface with "-o" when using the POSTROUTING chain. [13:31] Jinxed-: thx...but no make uninstall available with that makefile [13:31] wastl, :( [13:31] sipior: it works on my other Ubuntu without -o [13:31] cypher-neo, sorry i meant to say.. how do i make it so the desktop doesn't start at boot time.. i'm using gnome.. 'start gdm' starts it manually.. [13:32] Jinxed-: can you pastebin the script that "installs" the driver? So we can see what it does === rocode is now known as Guest86813 [13:32] wastl, is that not the makefile ? [13:32] kokozedman: what happens if you try using it? [13:32] you said its not and the readme says that too [13:32] itsux2bu, When you start up the computer, and you get to the log in page, there are a few things you can select on the bottom. All you need to do is select GDM, and it will start using that. [13:33] wastl, it is called load [13:33] Hi Xvid format is not running in mozilla.. any idea how to play this? [13:33] sipior: i get the same error [13:33] what kernel module is responsible for the MASQUERADE chain/target/match? [13:33] kokozedman: that's without the -s, correct? [13:33] i'm not an iptables pro [13:34] smw: yes...andit might me usefull to know what ./load does because with that we might know what to do to get rid of the driver [13:34] sipior: with or without ... same thing [13:34] cypher-neo, no.. i want to boot WITHOUT the desktop? don't i need to edit some file at the command line level? === bilalakhtar_ is now known as bilalakhtar [13:34] wastl, I am not arguing. I am stating fact to help :-). [13:34] nor am i smw [13:35] wastl, smw here is something with load in it: http://pastebin.com/UQQC4gHC [13:35] uujjo [13:35] arppit [13:35] kokozedman: ipt_MASQUERADE. that is the likely problem, indeed. [13:36] itsux2bu, No. You can do that from the log in page as well. [13:36] me arpit [13:36] hola a todos [13:36] sipior: that is the module name, or what is that in nature? [13:36] itsux2bu, It will boot to a Terminal command line [13:36] kk [13:36] kokozedman: that is the module name. [13:36] ubuntu 10.04 not boot without monitor, someone help me please ? [13:36] strange... i have a file /lib/xtables/libipt_MASQUERADE.so [13:36] itsux2bu, One sec. I'm looking for the exact command now though to make it permanent [13:36] Jinxed-: that script just copies the driver to /lib/modules/$kernelversion/extra/ [13:37] kokozedman: kernel modules have a ".ko" suffix. [13:37] Jinxed-: then loads it using insmod [13:37] well then... i don't have that [13:37] Jinxed-: and then creates some device nodes for it in /dev/ [13:37] cypher-neo, i configured the desktop to not ask for a login.. it goes right into desktop.. [13:37] hmm [13:37] sipior: i'm in a VPS, so that might be the reason why [13:37] Jinxed-: so it does nothing complicated [13:37] wastl, here is the compressed archive if that helps: http://www.2shared.com/file/M3vnPmuk/ctr1472-203-srctar.html? [13:38] uninstalling the driver is easy [13:38] enyone here use lmms to make beats? [13:38] itsux2bu, Oh. I always leave the password option on... [13:38] just delete it in /lib/modules/ its named ctr1472.ko [13:39] and if you want delete the device noes too [13:39] itsux2bu, In that case, you will need to edit a file... which can be a hassle. [13:39] maybe to an rmmod ctr1472 [13:39] before you delete it to ensure its not loaded anymore [13:39] wastl, that sounds great.... I hate to ask this to show how completely lost I am, but how exactly do I install the driver [13:39] I tried make [13:40] Jinxed-: that script you just pastebinned does that for you [13:40] cypher-neo, everything is a hassle in *nix but i've learned to live with it [13:40] make just compiles it [13:40] itsux2bu, It would save you a lot of hassle if you just enabled the login page. On the login page you can use the menu option "Select Session" to boot into command line, or any other installed session. [13:41] wastl, I don't need to install the kernel source tree or anything? [13:41] cypher-neo, ok.. ok.. how do i do that? [13:41] cypher-neo, how do i turn on login screen [13:42] itsux2bu, Umm, try this. Hold down SHIFT to display the menu during boot [13:43] itsux2bu, So once the loading screen pops up, hold down Shift and the menu should display... I think. [13:43] itsux2bu, cypher-neo: that displays the grub menu === ServerTechPro is now known as ServerTech [13:44] wastl, when I tried to do make I got this: http://pastebin.com/XUMGXYtw [13:44] jrib: Maybe you can help him set up his Ubuntu so it only boots to a command line. Everything I've looked up says it will boot to the desktop, unless he selects the correct session from the login screen (which he disabled) [13:45] Jinxed-: you will need the kernel-headers to compile the driver...no need for the complete source [13:45] wastl, how does one uptain the kernerl-headers [13:46] itsux2bu, The only page I could find which comes close to what you are looking for is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options [13:46] ok.. i'm at login screen in desktop [13:47] cypher-neo, it's got my login or other [13:47] itsux2bu: what are you attempting to do? [13:47] cypher-neo, i see not other choices [13:48] itsux2bu, It's at the bottom of the screen. There are options available for Location, Keyboard, and Session [13:48] jrib, my original goal was to edit a file at command line to boot to a terminal only.. no desktop [13:48] itsux2bu, an easy way is install rcconf and run it, it gives you an ncurses gui and you can unselect gdm (or kdm), then you will boot into a command prompt instead of gnome [13:48] itsux2bu: ok, but what's your goal now? [13:49] Jinxed-: they're available in the ubuntu repos if you use the standard ubuntu kernel [13:49] mattgyver: that won't work now with upstart afaik [13:49] wastl, I am using ubuntu 10.04 [13:49] package is named linux-headers-$yourkernelversion [13:49] jrib, oh then nevermind :( [13:49] jrib, the same [13:49] itsux2bu: edit /etc/init/gdm.conf and add never as a condition to start [13:50] also what is X ?

[13:58] NeoCicak, it is not a nice solucion,, when you reboot, and you get no GUI, type: startx [13:58] NeoCicak: what do you mean with "sound card stops working"? Is there simply no sound or do you get a specific error message? [13:59] Oer: mmmm.. the problem is permanent....after rebooting i'll still ahve the same problem... sound card doesnt work, clicking 'reboot'/'shut down' doesnt log me out.. just kick me back to login screen [13:59] ayekat: simply no sounds... hardware is not recognized [14:00] ayekat: i believe after trying to reboot several time it will somehow fix itself (temporarily)... but that is completely random..

[14:38] High_Priest, you need to be registered to join [14:38] zeknox: no [14:38] ZykoticK9: I think you are correct now that I think about it [14:39] zeknox: I have an entry in my /etc/fstab for that device name. [14:39] zeknox: maybe that's why it isn't working, but that seems to be buggy behaviour... [14:39] netcitizen: hi [14:39] pozic: I have never had to add an fstab entry for my usb devices personally [14:39] zeknox: it's just that the other device is not connected currently. [14:39] pozic, that's perhaps why it isn't automounting then, try removing from fstab and seeing if automount works then [14:40] ZykoticK9: uhm, but that's that what I want. [14:40] pozic: that is unless I was trying to get that usb device to work with virtualbox [14:40] zeknox: it is for _another_ device. [14:40] pozic, either you want automount or you want fstab - which one? [14:40] netcitizen: mine reconnects automaticly is yours set to auto? does it disconnect when the router shuts off? [14:40] ZykoticK9: fstab if the device is present and otherwise always automount. [14:41] ZykoticK9: it should simply pick another place to mount it. [14:41] pozic, i believe it's an either/or situtaion - not both [14:42] ZykoticK9: I consider that to be a bug. You can argue for it on a lower level, but the GUI should say "hi, there, we noticed you entered a USB stick. Where do you want to mount it?" [14:42] ZykoticK9: or alternatively, "we already mounted it for you at ". [14:42] ZykoticK9: pretty straightforward if you ask me. [14:42] Is there a way to tell network manager which interface I want to use by default.. I have two subnets set up .. I'm not sure my linux box is telling which way I want to go every time [14:42] pozic, isn't that what it does be default - if you don't put it in fstab? [14:42] i know route add default gw.. [14:42] but, I am still skeptical it is making the right decision each time [14:42] I've just attached a wireless usb device to my PC (Sweex 300N adapter), but somehow, my network isn't showing up while the SSID is being broadcasted and visible from other machines. Any pointers? [14:43] ZykoticK9: the only thing I put in fstab is that a specific device is to be mounted in a certain way. [14:43] ZykoticK9: the problem is that it assumes that /dev/sdb1 has a certain file system. [14:44] ZykoticK9: (and then immediately fails) [14:44] ZykoticK9: I do see that I didn't add the UUID, though. [14:44] pozic, assuming /dev/sdb1 is where USB drives show up - AND you have an sdb1 entry in fstab then i doubt automount will work (as you are experiencing) [14:44] What is the utulity of X11 ? [14:44] i think.... 10.04.1 doesnt work with the kernels in ppa-mainline (kernel 2.6.33 & 2.6.34 specifically)........ i downgraded to the default kernel (2.6.32) and my sound card works again [14:44] What is the utility of X11 ? [14:44] ZykoticK9: right, but it should. Don't you agree? [14:45] ZykoticK9: that is, it should do _something_ to notify the user that indeed he inserted an USB key. [14:45] BiggFREE: in which view ? [14:45] TiK: yes it disconnects after the router is switched off [14:45] pozic, actually no i don't... [14:45] BiggFREE: well, it beats the console by a fair bit. [14:45] ZykoticK9: imagine that someone who cannot read /etc/fstab tries to insert a USB key... [14:45] DasEi: When storing Xorg,conf [14:45] ZykoticK9: or even someone who doesn't even know the file exists. [14:45] netcitizen: then make sure its set to "auto [14:46] " [14:46] pozic, i'm not debating the issue... either use fstab or use automount - but don't expect both to work... simple. [14:46] ZykoticK9: it results in a broken system. If you think that's a good thing, you have no taste. [14:46] BiggFREE: there are fiew commands/utils that do that, which card ? [14:46] few* [14:46] DasEi: NDIVIA [14:47] ZykoticK9: especially considering that auto-mounting something that is already plugged in before machine boot, is not mounted. [14:47] any tips to improve my battery life,to win some minutes(or hours!!) before charging?? [14:47] BiggFREE: once you installed the driver should run sudo nvidia-xconfig, the gui is called nvidia-settings [14:47] DasEi: It is an unknown monitor. [14:47] dr3af: use Windows [14:47] BiggFREE, are you using nvidia-settings and having trouble saving to xorg.conf? [14:47] dr3af: Ubuntu has no optimized drivers. [14:47] DasEi: It is not a PnP monitor too. [14:48] BiggFREE: call nvidia-settings as root (sudo prefix) and save to file [14:48] pozic: id rather burn my pcs than go back winblows [14:48] DasEi, BiggFREE use gksu for GUI probrams! [14:48] BiggFREE: your monitor won't be detected ? [14:48] * zeknox chuckles at dr3af's statement [14:48] ZykoticK9: Yes I had [14:49] BiggFREE, what is your issue? [14:49] ZykoticK9: right ... My system cannot. [14:50] dr3af: if cpu scaling works for your machine, that will help a great deal. there should be a panel applet for adjusting scaling in a convenient fashion. [14:50] BiggFREE, your "system cannot" what? [14:50] sipior: i got it on demand,is that ok? [14:50] ZykoticK9: My settings for my display are unstable. [14:50] dr3af: sure, as long as you don't demand on a regular basis :-) [14:51] BiggFREE, your "settings" are "unstable"? [14:51] sipior: i hardly can understand what u said ,cause im greek :((( [14:51] ZykoticK9: It can save its settings for good. (xorg.conf) [14:51] dr3af: so, it's all english to you? [14:51] sipior: haha [14:51] ZykoticK9: Yes They are [14:51] BiggFREE, from terminal "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then "gksu nvidia-settings" [14:52] ZykoticK9: I will Ty [14:52] 'Morning folks [14:52] how does fonts work in .Xdefaults and similar?

[15:50] I want to install Racket (a scheme implementation). [15:50] sipior: I concur [15:50] lundh, ^^^ as example [15:50] tacomaster: there is no a proram easy about that with gui ? [15:50] Somelauw: that is to say, not installed via the package manager, &cet. [15:50] lundh, what "boot option" are you trying to set? [15:50] dan__, offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic here is ubuntu support. [15:50] dan__: it's a really simple game. You get to beg for support here. [15:50] ZykoticK9: what OS:es there are to choose from [15:50] dan, just ask your question then someone will answer you here [15:50] ZykoticK9: I don't see menu of the grub (I think that grub don't initialize video mode correctly). I see some white strings and after that process booting ubuntu. (ubuntu works all the same) [15:51] kimi_r: for me networking comes easy so thats an easy fix for me but i dont know if there is a program to do it never checked [15:51] sipior, the software centre only has an old version. [15:51] dan__: just ask your question then someone will answer you here [15:51] ok i need help with my wired network it just stopped working [15:51] dan__: Canonical.com is for when you are tired of begging. [15:51] pozic, stop that [15:51] pozic: begging? yeah, you have it real rough. [15:51] !details | dan__ [15:51] dan__: 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 ..." [15:51] tacomaster: ok. thank you! [15:51] !grub2 > lundh [15:51] lundh, please see my private message [15:51] i installed ubuntu at different location now at home network is off [15:51] in CentOS there i run my firewall script at boot by putting it in /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall .... is there a similar location in ubuntu 10.04? [15:51] ZykoticK9: ohh [15:52] sipior, how do I make new versions of software appear in the software centre. [15:52] dan__: do u have a second pc to test the network [15:52] Somelauw: sudo apt-get update [15:52] When is /tmp/ cleared? Would it be safe to do (for various reasons) ./somestuff > /tmp/blah.txt; scp /tmp/blah.txt user@elsewhere:/home/user/stuff? [15:52] bazhang: that is how it works, if you are a new user and haven't helped anyone yet. [15:52] besogon, to see Grub2 menu hold down shift as computer starts - not really clear about your other issue [15:52] Somelauw: they are auto updated? [15:52] no i got an xbox i want to stream to... [15:52] bazhang: simple social dynamics. === Mimo_ is now known as Mimo [15:53] !ot > pozic [15:53] pozic, please see my private message [15:53] kimi_r: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_service" will explain what Qos is [15:53] dan__: well the problem will be the network.... [15:53] bazhang: I was not off-topic. He didn't understand what he could do here. [15:53] pozic, are you finished? [15:53] bazhang: so, I explained it in very simple terms. [15:53] mickster04, I don't see racket in the software center. [15:53] bazhang: yes, please continue. [15:53] yeah it seems that way.. had it working a while ago, reinstalled now its a mess [15:53] while upgrading ubuntu my power failed and my sql is corrupted [15:54] hotcoolhot: ouchy [15:54] hotcoolhot: what a wonderful undefined question. [15:54] Somelauw: you may need to add its repo then...it wont be inckuded in the defauot one if you can't find it [15:54] hotcoolhot: there is no such thing as a "my sql". === sinux is now known as SiNUX [15:54] mickster04, do you have any instructions to do that? [15:54] i mean mysql and now i cant remove, reinstall or upgrade [15:54] There is MySQL, perhaps you meant that. [15:54] yeah [15:54] pozic, there is no need to be rude here [15:55] Somelauw: can you link me it's site? [15:55] ZykoticK9: it's teaching people to be precise. A nice property if you ask me. [15:55] any help? [15:55] zeknox, Isn't apt-get outdated deprecated and going to be replaced by aptitude. [15:55] dan__: well are you plugged in and everything is working with the network? [15:56] Somelauw, aptitude is removed from 10.10 FYI (be default anyway) [15:56] how well does ubuntu do with the pci_gen2 video cards? [15:56] mickster04, http://racket-lang.org/ [15:56] no it keeps saying wired connection disconnected [15:56] how do i get my alsa to be the defualt sound for my karmic - its running pulse audio please? [15:56] Somelauw: the algorithms from aptitude were ported to apt-get, AFAIK. [15:56] Somelauw: I have no heard if it is going to be replaced, I use apt-get first, and if it fails I then use aptitude personally [15:56] ZykoticK9, huh, people told me I should use aptitude instead. [15:56] Somelauw: aptitude was more advanced at some point. [15:56] ports ftw [15:56] i tried deleting and making a new connection but notjhing works [15:56] hello [15:56] try and see i_is_broke you have nothing to lose but windows lol [15:56] jendral: hi [15:57] how to add other server in smuxi [15:57] Somelauw, "people" will do that. i use aptitude on development releases for "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" other then that I'm an apt-get man :) [15:57] olskolirc, i think i will wait for the nvidia card gets here first... i know ati sucks. [15:57] Somelauw yeah that's not gonna work. it only has a downloadable file. there is no way to keep it up to date without reinstalling it every update [15:57] good decision i_is_broke [15:58] olskolirc, yeah and the onboard on this motherboard is a ati hd and fairly new as well. [15:58] AFAIK, ati used to suck, but don't anymore. [15:58] mickster04, do I need to install software center from time to time again? [15:58] ok, I dont get grub 2 how do I add entried? [15:58] And on top of that you get hardware which you can use for a decade or so. [15:59] mickster04, , sorry I don'tunderstand [15:59] mickster? is there something i can do? [15:59] in CentOS i run my firewall script at boot by putting it in /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall .... is there a similar location in ubuntu 10.04? [15:59] Unlike with nvidia, which deprecates certain core features after some time. [15:59] lundh: I am not a fan of grub2 also [15:59] pozic, you're way off on your views of ATI and Nvidia on linux... [15:59] Somelauw: that thing is only available from the website [16:00] lundh: what are you trying to do? [16:00] i might just partition off about a 100 gig or so and see what happens...worse it can do is blow up..:D [16:00] when i am trying to open synaptic i am getting error "This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first." how to find and close the conflicting application [16:00] Somelauw: they dont provide a method for keeping it updated through the software centre [16:00] hotcoolhot, close any Synaptic / Ubuntu Software Center/ Update Manager windows... reboot if necessary. [16:00] ZykoticK9: I have only used Nvidia, but I know people who told me that ATI doesn't suck anymore. The hardware itself is better in performance/dollar. [16:00] mickster04, so then it is okay to download it from the website? [16:00] hotcoolhot: ps aux | grep apt int terminal may help [16:01] now someone know of a doc or directions for adding ubuntu to a windows 7 machine? [16:01] ChogyDan: I have two windows installations. one XP and one 7. Grub as it is now detects the XP installation as 7 installation and doesnt give me the option to boot 7 at all [16:01] pozic, ATI = fail [16:01] ChogyDan: I want to correct that [16:01] ZykoticK9: can you give examples on that from 2010? [16:01] if i have a 10 gig ext3 partition in ubuntu and a 400 gig NTFS in win7 how can i extend the ext3 to atleast 10 mode gigs [16:01] pozic, it's OT [16:01] ZykoticK9: so, pm me. [16:01] Somelauw: yeah. ewverytime they create a new version you will have to download it again [16:01] lundh: and when you run sudo os_prober, windows 7 doesn't show up there? [16:01] pozic, no thanks [16:02] ZykoticK9: so, you have no arguments. [16:02] I'm having problems with ubuntu freezing after it finishes with fsck on boot, running the 64 bit version of lucid [16:02] pozic, actually i just don't care [16:02] ChogyDan, thats why i want to know if there is docs on how to add the ubuntu partition in with win 7 [16:02] is anyone gonna help me please? [16:02] ChogyDan: doesnt have os_prober [16:02] never mind [16:02] it was a - [16:02] OI OI [16:02] ChogyDan: it only detects one [16:03] dan_: whats going on? [16:03] So should I install it in /usr or /usr/local? [16:03] hey is there any help channel for ubuntu on this server? [16:03] tacomaster: are youn there ? [16:03] dan__: can you run ifconfig in termninal and tell me what it outputs [16:03] Pigimon: you're in it :-) [16:03] taco, i cant get my wired connection to connect [16:03] kimi_r: yea [16:03] Pigimon: #ubuntu-server [16:03] who can help with partitions? [16:03] Somelauw: just save the .sh file and run it. it will install it when you run the file i think [16:03] http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle i isnatlled this : http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle [16:03] From sipior's comment, I would guess usr/local ??

[16:04] dan__: is it plugged in? [16:04] Josesordo: I think you can use rsync -aS [16:04] kimi_r: trickle is in the repositories. [16:04] ogra, hello ? [16:05] kimi_r: does it work well for you? [16:05] devilhorns, hey, lets go to #ubuntu-arm :) [16:05] ogra, ok :) [16:05] tacomaster: yes i isnstalled from synaptic. [16:05] tacomaster: i will ask you something ... [16:05] ZykoticK9: maybe you are right, it seems that powermanagement was only in the process of being added in May 2010. Nvidia had that for years. [16:05] kimi_r: ok [16:05] tacomaster: first look at the help file which i sent you. [16:05] ChogyDan: is that a command? [16:05] pozic, if you hang out in this channel long enough you'll see the constant issues with ATI... [16:05] The internet says /usr/local is for local files, but I don't know what that means? [16:06] Does local mean I installed it myself? [16:06] tacomaster: tehre is no something like programID to set a max value for any program :( i think this is not for me ? right ? [16:06] ok ill ask here in the other channel no one seems to be alive [16:06] so im trying to configure conky [16:06] actually i cant even start it :S [16:06] cause the command [16:06] i wanted to paste you the output but it seems it was blocked or something?

I am new and had a question. I am not sure I understand the point in VirtualBox and programs like it. [16:56] Duk3: what is the question? [16:56] If someone could take a minute to explain that to me, I would appreciate it. [16:57] Well [16:57] Why would anyone need a program to run Windows in Linux? [16:57] Duk3: apps like VirtualBox let you run other operating systems at the same time like windows [16:57] Or any other OS? [16:57] Duk3: because Linux and Windows have different ways to encode executable [16:57] Duk3: compatability [16:57] hello people, I have this dilemma, I was planning to do a video hosting web, I already finished the interface, and I am using tomcat6, what would be the best approach to store the video coming from users. if anyone has any idea about this and would like to share I'll be happy, and I am using Linux Ubuntu as OS [16:57] Duk3: I need to run windows inside linux for work. There are certain tools that only work in windows [16:58] Duk3: it is like you go to a new country and try to follow the road signs there to drive. [16:58] Ah that I can get behind Zeknox [16:58] if i have 6GB of ram and havent seen my swap been used once on "htop" is there anyway to reduce the amount of swap? [16:58] what are the IDE to do qt4 [16:58] tacomaster: google swappiness [16:58] tacomaster: you don't need swap about 2 Gb of ram really [16:58] Duk3: espcially when I audit windows machines, It is nice to have windows to logon to the domain ;) [16:58] Who use ubuntu One for file sharing? [16:58] sudipta_: vim or codeblocks [16:59] So through VirtualBox you can run Microsoft Seven, and then install microsoft office and whatnot? === jCINKER is now known as Jcink [16:59] besogon: i do [16:59] Duk3: you can try. YOu will need a lot of ram [16:59] Duk3: yeah, altho office can be installed thru wine i thought [16:59] mickster04: so i could get rid of my swap totally? [16:59] tacomaster: resize your swap partition? [16:59] tacomaster: IMO yes [16:59] Duk3: yes, you can run any OS basically [16:59] mickster04: ok [16:59] Duk3: it even has support for x64, games don't run well though [16:59] So why are people having so much trouble with windows games [17:00] * wastl even runs MacOSX in a VirtualBox vom :) [17:00] O thank you zek [17:00] kk [17:00] I was just about to ask lol [17:00] g2g homewards [17:00] seeya [17:00] Duk3: because virtualization doesn't do well with the video card drivers, you only get like 32mb [17:00] hey there [17:00] churl: Tell me how you do it. (I don't notice menu item in nautilus for that inspite having UbuntuOne account) [17:00] Ah. So the ram is allocated? [17:00] Duk3: cos to run an entire OS ontop of an OS is alot of hard work, then to run games aswell.... [17:00] Ah. I see [17:01] mickster04: so do i just format it to ext4 like my root partition and edit the partition? [17:01] well if yyou format it what do you need to edit? [17:01] I understand now my friends. Thank you very much for your time and patience. [17:01] Duk3: tis ok [17:01] I am going to play with this for the sake of learning it [17:02] Duk3: :D [17:02] I can now see the usefulness. [17:02] Duk3: tis ok [17:02] yeah it can be good* [17:02] Duk3: I would recommend qemu-launcher [17:02] im trying to install rss-glx using these insturctions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rss-glx, but its not showing up in xscreensaver prefrences [17:02] Okay. I am going to my other desktop environment right away to download it. Thank you again. [17:03] churl: Did I say something unclear? [17:03] besogon: i did not know about the integration [17:03] mickster04: how do i make it so when i format this it will just add to my root partition? [17:03] tacomaster: ermmm...gparted might be able to extend one partition to include the new space... [17:03] churl: So. How are you doing it?

[17:26] netcitizen, is the wifi network encrypted? [17:26] netcitizen: Because you're using GDM autologin. [17:26] itsux2bu: how'd you get into text mode [17:27] Does anyone know, where can I read about some fresh vulnerabilities in different software ? [17:27] rocode: WPA enabled [17:27] itsux2bu, don't you need to edit xconf? [17:27] jaminc: just from here to router to windows [17:27] mickster04, terminal, then sudo -s, then stop gdm, then pkill x [17:27] red2kic: what is GDM autologin? Is there a way out. I want NetworkManager to connect automatically without showing the prompt. [17:27] netcitizen, add the WPA password to the network preferences so you don't have to enter it every time. [17:27] Is Ubuntu vulnerable to a BIOS virus? [17:28] OpenJoke.org [17:28] MarkSS: depends how the virus is run [17:28] netcitizen: One way -- Turn off GDM autologin. Another way -- Don't use password. Delete the key. [17:28] churl, and the arrow keys don't change move to the next photo when viewing items in an smb share, but they do when viewing a local folder? [17:28] gabrixxx: please don't put pointless URL's in the channel [17:28] gabrixxx: it's for ubuntu support only [17:28] MarkSS: prolly not [17:29] itsux2bu: 'sudo apt-get install rcconf' 'sudo rcconf' stop the gdm daemon [17:29] rocode: the password is saved.no issues with that.one has to click the connect button to reconnect.It happens when wireless router is restarted.No issues on restart,suspend.

Just wondering if it can hop off the flash drive and infect my BIOS [17:29] ok [17:29] red2kic: lemme search for GDM autologin. i have no idea about it. [17:29] MarkSS: as I said, depends how it's designed to spread and what OS it is designed to run in [17:29] MarkSS: the odds are very unlikley [17:29] jaminc: correct (not sure on the smb thing it's always confused me greatly) [17:30] would anyone know how to set up bluetooth headphones? [17:30] churl, just tested it here... it does indeed appear to have a problem with SMB shares... doesn't even list them in it's file browser [17:30] MarkSS: most likely not [17:31] churl, not sure there is anything you can do to get them working short of a possible code change... looks like a bug report or feature request needs to be filed on the application [17:31] jaminc: how can i tell if i am going over smb? [17:31] red2kic: i guess am not using any GDM autologin [17:32] if you're accessing files from a windows share, you're most likely using smb [17:32] I guess this is the right moment to put out some hate of mine toward Ubuntu machine having choppy sound, mouse cursor twiching, and all apps going to a halt, while its Majesty update process is killing my workstation. its not often. Only every d* time when ANY software is installed or updateted... grrr [17:33] jaminc: ok, so you really think this is something i should bug report? [17:33] rocode: u got any other idea? [17:33] yea, I would... [17:34] i just want expect to spit out the results of thios command :( and it wont :( [17:34] nikolam: And that is exactly the time, when I take a look on the ubuntu kernel mainline page for some newer kernel... ;) [17:34] minimec, it says debian runlevel? is debian a close relative of ubuntu?

I guess ubuntu handles all 'session' stuff with 'gdm' or 'kdm' [17:39] netcitizen: Let me help you the way I remember it. Look in Accessories --> Key & Encryption. Something like that. === Guest58787 is now known as LjL [17:39] netcitizen: You should see one file. Delete it. And when it prompt you for password -- Leave it blank (hence you want to leave your Wifi password saved on the laptop visible).

[17:41] itsux2bu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions [17:41] itsux2bu: that may help with the basics... don't worry, there is no question too easy, but have a quick look there, jsut in case [17:41] hi [17:42] hello. i'm using 10.04 and netbook gui. i'd like to connect to the internet thtu my bluetooth phone. the phone has bluetooth. can someone point me to a how-to? [17:42] PresuntoRJ, thx.. but my original question was.. how to keep gdm (gnome) from booting.. [17:43] !bluetooth [17:43] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [17:43] itsux2bu: the first is the x-server, the second the Virtualbox X-module. As you are in text mode. Try to disable the x-server and reboot. That should do. If not you can simply enable it again and everything is undone ;) [17:43] itsux2bu: like a server would?

It would consist of editing grub and postfixing the line with I think a 2 or something... [17:45] the propper way would be something like $ sudo update-rc.d gdm remove --force [17:45] ChogyDan, that sounds promissing... [17:45] but try the first one first [17:45] Does Ubuntu not work well with wireless mice? [17:45] i dont have the close and maximize buttons anymore and when i open opera or chrome it only runs in half the screen and i cant maximize it...

[17:48] jayant, you cant do much with an intel card [17:48] dont expect much [17:48] Fableflame: doe sit show in the lsusb ? [17:48] yes... they were turned off automatically for some reason.. i tried to change it to minimum effects but it didnt work.. === mwg is now known as kopfkrank [17:48] hi all [17:48] i;ve been using ubuntu for almost a month without any problems.. this is the first time this has happened [17:49] can someone point me to the troubleshooting guide for gwibber on the Ubuntu help site? I can't find it anymore. [17:49] I'm trying to find the maeke and model PresuntoRJ: lsusb? [17:49] !gwibber [17:49] !hardware | presuntorj [17:49] PresuntoRJ, please see my private message [17:49] my T60 cannot show external display at 1680x1200 resolution [17:50] in hardware drivers i can only see my broadcom wireless drivers... [17:50] is there a tool that i can use to symply symmetrically encrypt something? [17:50] hi all: trying to figure out why i cant access my wireless modem ip address [17:50] i.e. so i dont have to use gog [17:50] gpg [17:50] Tinman_usa, what drivers are you using, also which video chipset? [17:50] so i dont have to carry my private key on a laptop [17:50] is there a way to set the graphics configurations to the default config or something??? [17:50] jaminc, ATI chipset and X1400 [17:50] but to decrypt you just need the password? [17:51] BlueKaj what does that mean? [17:51] jaminc, I get the highest resolution on my T500 [17:51] itsux2bu: I just tested the thing I told you. It did not work! So forget that rcconf thing. You can even uninstall it I guess. [17:51] ccan anybodu help with ushare? [17:51] Tinman_usa, are you using the fglrx package for the catalyst drivers? [17:52] My wireless mouse is made by Gear Head, and it gives 6 different model numbers === noel is now known as Guest21596 [17:52] I'm having power issues I think... I believe it appeared with an update. Is there a way to view previous updates and step back to see if I can pinpoint the issue? [17:52] Fableflame, I was using a wireless gearhead mouse without issue on Linux (unless the receiver was snapped) [17:53] jaminc, not sure, when I goto System->Administrator ->hardware driver I dont see anything [17:53] sinerasis: i don't know a easy method but there should be a apt package install log in /var/log somewhere [17:53] Well I'm using the same mouse now on Windows 7, so it's not a problem with the mouse [17:53] sam_, http://www.insidesocal.com/click/linux/ubuntu/gwibber-me-menu-issues-in-ubun/ [17:53] Fableflame, as I recall there's a button combo on the mouse that causes a resync request with the USB dongle... don't recall the exact combo though, should be in the manual or on their site [17:53] jaminc: i tried that, it didn't work === Coffee-Taker is now known as uRock [17:54] thanks BlueKaj... I have gwibber not working with Twitter on two separate computers and I couldn't find the troubleshooting guide. BTW, works great with identi.ca [17:54] Fableflame, very odd... never had an issue with mine that a resync or batteries didn't fix... [17:55] Greetings friends! Another question I have. [17:55] BlueKaj, I guess that wasn't quite what I was looking for, but thanks anyway [17:55] any ideas on why i cant access my wireless router's ip address? i have tried using firefox and chrome, neither will bring it up [17:55] jaminc: I tried the batteries first, and then resync. Neither fixed it. Think it's a driver? [17:55] What is this Cloud I keep hearing and reading about [17:55] aeon-ltd, I don't appear to have /var/log [17:55] Tinman_usa, you're best hope of getting the external resolution you're looking for is with the proprietary drivers... [17:56] Fableflame, remove the mouse dongle, clear dmesg (sudo dmesg -c), reconnect the dongle and check dmesg (dmesg) [17:56] Hi [17:56] oh nevermind... i was in the wrong spot... [17:56] Hi all! I am having an issue where one application will not play sound through my designated output device, which is a USB headset. Instead, it always outputs sound to my desktop speakers. [17:56] jaminc, weird is it showed back home when it was connected to the HP monitor and I had the highest resolution both in my laptop and my LCD, when I bring my laptop to work, I dont see the drivers in that section, I get 1680 in my laptop but only 1440 in external ACER monitor [17:56] I'm folowing this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642015 # to install my quickcam express camera on ubuntu lucid [17:57] jaminc: How can I do that stuff when the mouse won't work? [17:57] apt doesn't find the gspca-source spca5xx-source packages though [17:57] any ideas? [17:57] ALT+F1 should bring up the Gnome menu [17:57] sorry sam_ , I guess i should brush up on the twits and facebooks social networking interfaces , but I'm not a twitter user ...I guess i shouldn't have answered :p [17:57] arrow keys and enter from there [17:57] into Accessories and Terminal [17:58] or should i be using some other browser entirely... whats the best for lucid lynx? [17:58] kryptyk: First step: Unplug/plug device, 'dmesg' (in console); Device should also be visible in the properties of the sound applet.. [17:58] Tinman_usa, you sure the ACER monitor supports the higher resolution? [17:59] Bluekaj, no problem. Intent was good. I can't seem to find the proper troubleshooting guides on help.ubuntu.com any more. They had a couple on couchdb and gwibber, but I can't find any of them now... weird... thanks again! [17:59] Hi. I'm currently installing Ubuntu for my little sister (6 years old). What games, themes, modfifications to you recommend? [17:59] laieman, gcompris [18:00] Jaminc: So I need to hit alt+F1 to bring up the menu, unplug the mouse, open the terminal and type "sudo dmesg -c, recconect the mouse and then use "dmesg"? [18:00] Thanks. I will have a look :) [18:00] laieman, along with tuxpaint [18:00] hi [18:00] laieman: --> edubuntu [18:00] minimec: Done that - both devices are recognized and both work well. The problem is that I have my headset specified as the default output device. Everything outputs to it except for one application, which outputs to my desktop speakers [18:00] jaminc: That seems awesome for her. [18:00] anyone who succeeded in installing logitec quickcam express in ubuntu? [18:00] Fableflame, yes, that will let you know if the system is recognizing the mouse and give you a starting point for further troubleshooting [18:01] laieman, I did similar for my daughter from the time she was 3... she's been using Linux now for 6 years [18:01] jaminc, yes, I just had it 1680 in my T500 yesterday [18:01] Jaminc: alright. I'm dual booting Ubuntu on this machine, so I'll have to reboot and log into Ubuntu, then come back and tell you the results [18:01] using my T500 [18:01] hey there, i have a problem: i installed ubuntu netbook on my laptop but it dont boot right [18:02] jaminc: Thanks for the advice. [18:02] Do you recommend edubuntu rather than ubuntu? [18:02] Tinman_usa, very odd... could be the driver on the T60 (guessing it's the ati/radeon open source driver) doesn't support it or but you indicated that you had it running at a higher resolution at home, right? [18:02] kryptyk: What software does that? [18:03] minimec: the game Doom 3 [18:03] laieman, I've always given her the straight raw distro... just put her account as a normal user (non-admin) and put the icons on the desktop initially [18:03] figured if I didn't dumb it down too much she'd learn and adapt better later on [18:03] Sounds like a plan. [18:03] here is a viedo of my problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1M96lIty1s [18:03] jaminc: does that mean I can go through the menu with the arrow buttons? [18:03] she's doing quite well with most systems at this point... frequently troubleshooting grandma's computer too [18:03] Fableflame, yes [18:04] yeah jaminc, I just plugged it into ACER, with HP it was all fine [18:04] kryptyk: I would do some search for 'Doom3' in combination with 'pulseaudio' [18:04] jaminc, this acer has 1920 highest resolution, I am only getting 1440 with T60 [18:04] Tinman_usa, what's the model on the ACER? [18:04] brb [18:05] minimec: I have tried that - pulseaudio, oss, alsa. No matter the audio configuration, it refuses to output to the headset. Thanks for your help though. [18:05] jaminc, X233H [18:05] wonder if the EDID response from the ACER is outputting a mode outside the T60's ability but the HP's EDID response is in range... [18:05] kryptyk: Try to install pavucontrol. That's some good configuration tool for pulseaudio. === Mike is now known as Guest37064 [18:06] kryptyk: You can choose the output device there... [18:06] Hi! I have installed 10.04 on a usb-HD, and also installed grub2 to that usb-hd. But when i boot from the usb disk, i am booting straight into grub prompt. No boot menu at all. However when i try to boot this usb-hd inside vmware, it works great. === Guest37064 is now known as MeMike504 [18:06] greetings all [18:07] kryptyk: maybe the volume is full for the default output, but muted for the phone outlet... it happened to my system... if I remember it right, I could solve it with pavucontrol also [18:07] I was wondering I am new to ubuntu and wanted to know if anyone can sugguest a reource or other ubuntu group i can goto for people who are learning disabled [18:08] Tinman_usa, could you pastebin your Xorg.*.log file? [18:08] how can i permit all users to use chroot? [18:08] also non sudo [18:08] Hello everyone, I have problems with java environment on all webbrowsers ubuntu lucid. It works perfectly on most applications, but especially on chatrooms it collapses. sudo update-alternatives --config java gives only 3 alternative locations and not the newest sun folder do you know how to load a different jre location? [18:08] minimec, PresuntoRJ : I have pavucontrol installed and used it to configure what I could. When viewing the playback tab, I can see the stream for the game while it is running, but it shows it as set to my desktop speakers for output. [18:09] jaminc, thanks I will try, its cramped in here , hehe [18:09] Ramsez: do you have installed the sun-java ? $sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [18:09] kryptyk: And you cannot change that? [18:10] Ramsez: then it may show the sun-java option when you try to update-alternatives [18:10] Ramsez: I believe you need to enable the partners repository also for that [18:10] PresuntoRJ yes I did, I have all packages from sun and also gij which I purged to check if it is in conflict [18:10] kryptyk: You should be able to change that for every application you are running, right? In fact pavucontrol normally had tha feature. [18:11] can someone help me figure out if I actually need to setup a dns server [18:11] Ramsez: do you have a URL i can try to view from here to check the behaviour ? [18:11] minimec: The problem is that Doom 3 launches fullscreen and locks the mouse === ServerTech is now known as ShreyasVinod [18:11] litercola, why do you feel you need to setup a dns server? [18:11] litercola: what do you want to do with your computer? [18:11] minimec: I am playing with the config to see if I can get it to start in 'windowed' mode [18:12] kryptyk, how did you install doom3 [18:12] kryptyk: arrow right not working? === ShreyasVinod is now known as ServerTech [18:12] I'm trying to setup an ltsp server, but also have to resolve the host name of another server on my network, can't i just add a route for that? [18:13] Hi, if I lock the screen and then click on the "Switch user", button, it messes everything up and the screen goes weird and i can't do anything, it doesn't freeze, I can move the cursor but it's messed up, anyone knows how to fix? [18:13] litercola, you looking to do network booting and such? [18:13] coz: via the source from ID software and then copied the necessary files from the install disks to /usr/local/games/doom3/base/ [18:14] PresentoRJ - this is for instance one of the most common chatrooms in Poland and it collapses http://czateria.interia.pl/czat,room,70,Warszawa [18:14] yes, I got ltsp working with the alternate cd, but it was flaky so i did a server isntall, but I have another server that provides a different image for certain clients [18:14] My mouse isn't the problem after all, the whole system is freezing up. [18:14] litercola, so you have your clients working and booting as expected, but are thinking you might need DNS for some name resolution? [18:15] Fableflame, well, we've solved the mouse issue... =( [18:15] can anyone help me with gdb? I'm not getting responses from the #gdb channel. I'm trying to locate a varaible by datatype and value, and I don't know the variable name [18:15] and then change that variable's value [18:15] correct, but I only really need to resolve the host name of the other server on my network, seems to be alot of configuration in bind9 just for that [18:15] Fableflame, now to find out why the system is locking up... tell me a bit about the hardware... [18:15] litercola, there is... using a host file may be easier [18:16] jaminc: I had enough time to follow the instructions you gave me, Ubuntu was detecting the mouse, so I was confused when it quit working again. Then I realized that alt+F1 wasn't working [18:16] litercola, check out /etc/hosts the format is fairly straight forward [18:16] Jaminc: Um, I've got a Compaq Precario desktop, model SR5254X [18:16] thanks jaminc [18:17] Bonjour all :) [18:17] Jaminc: I haven't made any hardware changes to it [18:17] PresentoRj could you please tell me how to set the sun java as default? [18:17] Fableflame, k... looking it up [18:17] selam [18:17] Fableflame, have you disabled desktop effects? [18:17] This is weird, because I've used Ubuntu before. It's someting about one of these last two big releases that isn't agreeing with my computer [18:18] Jaminc: Nope, everything is still set to as it come out of the box [18:18] I'd start with disabling the effects... [18:18] Ramsez: usually $ sudo update-alternatives --config java [18:19] you may have enough time from the sound of it to get to the settings area and turn them off [18:19] then, choose the correct java version you need [18:19] jaminc: you think that's the problem? [18:19] I've seen them do stranger things [18:19] PresentoRJ but it is only until the next reboot? and then the one in auto mode is loaded.. [18:20] and that system has an intel chipset, which I believe defaults to full effects since the open driver is supposed to support them so well [18:20] Ramzes, PresuntoRJ: sudo update-java-alternatives is probably a better command to use, it will set the proper java version for all java related things, (e.g, jre, jvm, plugin, etc) [18:20] Ramsez: I will try here... I have sun-java6-jre on Ubuntu 10.04.01 (up to date) and Firefox and GoogleChrome to try [18:20] Jaminc: Where do I need to go to disable the desktop effects? [18:21] System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects [18:21] hey guys, is there a way to update a single package in ubuntu? [18:21] if i want to update openssl and openvpn only [18:21] Ramsez: ok, but in the end, if I remember well, its the same result if you do with java, javah, javac and javap [18:21] meh3: a bit of a guess: apt-get install [18:22] meh3: aptitude install packagename [18:22] Hello, I am getting Kernel Panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). How do I get into Grub2 boot menu ? [18:22] Ramsez: since I don't speak any Polish, what do I write where to get to the problem? [18:22] meh3: reload the sources and sudo apt-get install the packages again. [18:22] alright Jaminc, brb [18:22] ah that works for updating too? cool [18:23] good after noon ppls [18:23] PresuntoRJ just tell me if it collapses or fails to fully load or are you able to write in anything to the boxes that should pop up which means it works [18:23] Hi, if someone could tell me how can I connect java on ubuntu [18:24] majeszko, need alittle more info than just that [18:24] majeszko, spill coffee on a ubuntu box? [18:24] lmao cornflake [18:24] !java | majeszko [18:24] majeszko: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [18:24] Ramsez: I am seeing a blueish site, with a couple of inputs... I guess one for name and one for password, a orange button which says Wejdź [18:25] Ramsez: nothing collapsed yet [18:25] Can someone tell me how to get onto Grub2 menu before the system panics ? [18:25] majeszko then make sure you added symbolic links [18:25] LoneShadow, press shift [18:25] abhijit: aah, kept pressing escape, thanks will try shift [18:25] LoneShadow, ok [18:26] LoneShadow: left! shift ;) [18:26] Ramsez: do you have the sun-java6-plugin installed as well ? === tyler is now known as Fableflame [18:26] ok ubottu I'll check that [18:26] Well, I'm on Ubuntu now [18:26] hi all! [18:26] yaay got in :) [18:26] !yay | Fableflame [18:26] Fableflame: Glad you made it! :-) [18:26] I changed the visual effects to none [18:26] PresuntoRJ I am overinstalled with java packages [18:26] can tar extract zipped files [18:26] lol, thanks Abhijit [18:26] Fableflame, :D [18:27] Now we just wait and see if it crashes on me again [18:27] Ramsez: maybe that's the problem... :D [18:27] Fableflame, \o/ [18:27] zeknox, only gzip'ed or bzip2'ed [18:27] I used all the web knowledge I could to solve the problem [18:27] (hopefully not) [18:27] Fableflame, ah oh no visual effects ? :) [18:27] * abhijit prays for Fableflame [18:27] Ramsez: when does it collapse for you? do I need to login somewhere? [18:27] coz_: None [18:27] Seveas: thanks [18:27] Fableflame, you prefer it that way? [18:27] Fableflame, visual effects == bad mojo [18:27] coz_: lol no, we think it was causing the system to crash [18:28] They were only set to Normal by default [18:28] my ubuntu is always using from cpu about %10. I use Ubuntu 10.04 (updated). I have opened softwares but they are not doing any process. But Ubuntu always use the process. (my computer is fast : 2 gb ddr3 , and 4 cpu s intel). can someone help me please ? [18:28] Fableflame, which video card in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [18:28] coz_, Intel [18:28] mm [18:28] coz_: it's an onboard card [18:28] Fableflame, right understood I would like to see the read out however :) [18:29] Readout is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [18:30] On my computer it works like that http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/518/czatq.png [18:30] Fableflame, guessing this is longer than it normally runs before locking? [18:30] my ubuntu is always using from cpu about %10. I use Ubuntu 10.04 (updated). I have opened softwares but they are not doing any process. But Ubuntu always use the process. (my computer is fast : 2 gb ddr3 , and 4 cpu s intel). can someone help me please ? [18:30] Fableflame, ok and do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? [18:30] hello. I've lost control over my desktop (I was watching a movie using vdpau and there seems to be a bug which corrupts screen and "hangs" the system). I can't move the cursor nor can I switch to console, I can ssh to this computer, though. I want to close an app in a safe manner, so as not to cause possible data corruption. If I 'kill -TERM' it, will it be the same as if I clicked on the 'x' button? [18:31] jaminc: Yes, it normally locked up before now Coz_: Nope, this is a fresh install [18:31] this is to ms dos looking [18:31] Fableflame, ok in terminal copy paste this command glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE [18:31] Presunto if I purged uninstalled all the java I have and then started from scratch would you think it could help? [18:32] Coz_: The readout says: "The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [18:32] sudo apt-get install mesa-utils" [18:32] Ramsez: I think I am stuck a step before that... what do I type to get to the correct screen you expect to see? [18:32] my ubuntu is always using from cpu about %5-6. I use Ubuntu 10.04 (updated). I have opened softwares but they are not doing any process. But Ubuntu always use the process. (my computer is fast : 2 gb ddr3 , and 4 cpu s intel). can someone help me please ? [18:32] does anyone know of a cross platform project management tool. not openProj. for great ghatt charts, WBS things like that [18:32] sherr_y: We don't understand your question. Do you think that your system is too slow? [18:32] Fableflame, do that please [18:32] Ramzes: it wont do much harm... its ok to try that [18:32] Fableflame, also along with that sudo apt-get install compicconfig-settings-manager [18:33] minimec: sorry for my english. i just see that ubuntu is using always from my cpu about %6-7. [18:33] Fableflame, I believe he means sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:33] Ramsez: remember to remove / purge the openjdk also [18:33] Fableflame, sorry that is sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:33] jaminc, thanks getting used to new keyboard :) [18:33] Ramsez: and try only with the sun one for now [18:33] sherr_y: where do you get these 5-6% from. From the system manager? Do you think that is too much for idle status? [18:34] jaminc, although that doesnt explain why I misspelled previous to this :) [18:34] PresuntoRJ thanks for your help [18:34] sherr_y: top then press 1 [18:34] coz_, I'm sure we've all misspelled more than we'd care to admit [18:34] Is it supposed to stop at "Processing triggers for python-central ..." [18:34] ? [18:34] minimec: yes it is too much. i get the info from "system monitor". i have 4 cpu s (intel). it is not possible to use them 1-2 from each. [18:34] Fableflame, that can take a bit [18:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java, I have been there before, looks like Chinese for me, I'm trying to download the java for linux but it's asking me to choose program to open it(I've got ubuntu for 2 hours yet) [18:34] Fableflame, it may pause there yes [18:34] wyn: sorry i did not understand... [18:34] but it prompted me to type again [18:35] Fableflame, mmm [18:35] wyn: what you mean ? [18:35] majeszko: you can just apt-get it [18:35] any mod_proxy_balancer users around? [18:35] majeszko try in synaptic [18:35] sherr_y: open a terminal, typr top , press enter, press the number 1 on your keyboard [18:35] Fableflame, try the command sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager mesa-utils [18:35] apt get it [18:35] sherr_y: but really do not worry about it [18:35] majesko: try this, on the GUI menu, System / Administrator, open the Software Channels program [18:35] synaptic? [18:35] evening all [18:35] majeszko: ubuntu's default package manager [18:36] Tinman_usa, any luck with pastebin'ing the log? [18:36] !synaptic | majeszko [18:36] majeszko: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [18:36] hi everyone ! i want use my usb memory as ram [18:36] majeszko just google synaptic package manager [18:36] It says: compizconfig-settings-manager is already the newest version. [18:36] mesa-utils is already the newest version. [18:36] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded. [18:36] majesko: in there, the Other Software tab must have the Partners enabled [18:36] sherr_y: Well... The system manager is eating much of it, I guess. You may have more accurate results by opening a console and using 'top'. It will show you each process and the use of CPU and Mem. [18:36] how can i do ? [18:36] Fableflame, sounds like they installed fine... now rerun the glx command that coz_ gave you [18:36] sorry jaminc, what was the file name again, [18:36] wyn: minimec: please wait... im trying. ...

Basically, here is what I did: First, I installed Wubi for my Windows 7 ThinkPad IBM Lenovo Laptop. Then, I ran it. After I put in initial details and the download and installation process started, I realized you could skip downloading Ubuntu if you had an ubuntu.iso file already on your computer in the same directory as Wubi. I had both the 32 bit and 64 bit editions already on my [18:54] bit computer. I had been running the 32-bit edition in a virtualbox for a while. I canceled the installation and when I tried to start Wubi again with the 32 bit Ubuntu iso in the same directory, I was prompted to uninstall what I had partially installed last time, so I did. Then, after the 32 bit edition started installing, I realized that I should be doing this with the 64 bit edition, so I cancelled that installation, put the 64 bit Ubuntu .is [18:54] the same directory as Wubi, removed the 32 bit iso, and uninstalled what I previously partially installed to start it all over again. I restarted my computer at the end, only to have it being stuck on "Windows is Shutting Down..." for about 15 minutes. It somehow fixed itself though, but when it started up again it booted into Windows. I tried restarting again. This time, it shut off smoothly and when I started up again I got the option to boot i [18:54] Ubuntu, so I did. Then, the screen went black for a long time, and I got something about a grub boot loader, giving me 4 options to boot into. Two were Windows 7 related, and one looked like "Ubuntu Safe Mode" and one looked like normal Ubuntu. I pressed the normal Ubuntu one. Then, I heard the little drum beat sound that Ubuntu makes, and my screen has been black ever since. What should I do? [18:54] Habs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:54] Using apt-get is there a way to install multiple software, a character to seperate a list of software? [18:54] whoa Habs. . . [18:54] how to play mp3 in ubuntu ?

[19:10] Jaminc: the computer seems to be doing it's thing. I had a terminal a couple seconds ago and a couple of commands were going through it, but now I have a black screen again. [19:10] it basically isn't seeing the headset I guess? [19:10] possibly [19:10] try disabling the sound card completely [19:10] because I have the OS setup to use the headset as the default output [19:11] BluesKaj: i was formatting it to wipe out the files already there. maybe formatting it before running ubiquity would avoid the problem [19:11] Habs, give it a few more seconds... see if it stays black or gets us to the menu... we may need to add one more command to the grub line [19:11] how to install entire qt4 library in 10.04?

[19:13] Jaminc: yes. [19:13] sipior, ok [19:14] I posted a java problem a few minutes ago. I just wanted to inform you that I have a solution. Sun Java and OpenJDK cannot be installed at the same time on ubuntu lucid unless you have problems [19:14] anyway, networkmanager says that wireless is disabled, and won't give me an option to reenable it [19:14] can anyone help me wid lucid lynx..--->for netbook version..? [19:14] !ask | pranjalverma [19:14] pranjalverma: 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. :-) [19:14] Habs, ok... reboot it one more time... this time at the grub menu... simply change the selection to stop the count down... don't actively select anything... we are going to edit one of the entries a bit === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak [19:14] ElTimo: what wireless card do you have? [19:14] i have a dell vostro 3700 with the 1520 half-card, the driver is installed from the repositories, and it worked before i upgraded the kernel [19:15] how can i add more workstations on my lappy...default no. of workstations is only 1..in the netbook version...? [19:15] ElTimo: Did you try to suspend or hibernate the system and that went wrong? [19:15] nope [19:15] ElTimo: i had same problem before [19:15] Jaminc, ok. [19:15] ElTimo: try rfkill list in terminal [19:15] see if there is a hardware or software block [19:15] how can i add more workstations on my lappy...default no. of workstations is only 1..in the netbook version...? === mike_ is now known as Guest4160 [19:16] ViN86, there's a hardware block on it. what does that mean, and how do i fix it? [19:16] hello ubottu..? [19:16] ElTimo: the switch is enabled? [19:16] yup [19:16] Jaminc: So I moved the selector to stop the countdown. [19:16] stupid question bt i have to ask [19:16] ElTimo: If it is a kernel issue, try to press left(!)shift key right after the boot screen and choose a different kernel version to test that. [19:16] pranjalverma: right click on the icon and go to prefferences and change the number [19:16] abhijit..? [19:16] Hi, i am trying to make some changs to the live cd. I want to run a bash script after log on, i snuck the script into /etc/profile but i dont not have keyboard support to be able to read input from the user. Do i need to put the script in the casper-bottom files? [19:16] pranjalverma, yes? [19:16] which icon ? [19:16] ViN86, turning the switch on and off has no effect whatsoever [19:16] habs, ok... go to the normal ubuntu entry and press "e" to edit it [19:16] ElTimo: try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [19:16] pranjalverma: the workstations icon [19:17] icon? === russell is now known as Guest75017 [19:17] which icon? [19:17] I keep getting a network error when I try to log into Google Talk with Empathy [19:17] habs should give you a new screen with several lines [19:17] thanks for your help guys [19:17] gnomefreak, i don't thin NBE supports multiple desktops by default. pranjalverma [19:17] ViN86, wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [19:17] my preferences is in sytem folder [19:17] Jaminc: ok. I'm in the edit mode with several lines. [19:17] ZykoticK9_nothom: that could be a good reason [19:17] any other ubuntu channels that might be of help to my issue? [19:17] pranjalverma: UNR? [19:17] sorry NBE? [19:18] gnomefreak, netbook edition [19:18] it says "show windows 4rm all workspaces"...and has has been selected [19:18] ElTimo: what does ifconfig list as your wireless cards? [19:18] ElTimo: just type ifconfig and tell me what you see [19:18] flomaster: i didnt see your question [19:18] habs do you see a line that has "splash" near the end of it? [19:18] UNR as in..? [19:18] habs, probably something like "ro splash" [19:18] Nevermind, a quick google fixed the problem [19:18] ElTimo: ? i was asking pranjalverma [19:18] gnomefreak: im having a problem downgrading my kernel here is my pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/thiXTq6x [19:19] flomaster: you dont want to downgrade it just choose it in grub [19:19] great, now X is freezing up on me too [19:19] flomaster: downgrading your kernel or really much of anything else that controls what you do is not supported [19:19] gnomefreak: I am not able to resume via usb with my current kernel this is a known bug and a patch has not yet been made for my kernel yet [19:20] Jaminc: the 7th line says, "/root.disk ro quiet splash". [19:20] flomaster: and that doesnt explain why you cant choose another kernel from grub [19:20] "its problem configuring in netbook version of ubuntu" [19:20] habs, that's the one... at the very end of that line add this " nomodeset" make sure to include the space [19:20] j [19:20] flomaster: kernel == Linux you cant downgrade it without causing problems [19:20] Hello, I have problems with USB after upgrade to 10.04 from previous LTS. Some devices are not detected at all (I mean no entry in dmesg). Some mass storage devices mount but produce errors when I try to copy files. This is not hardware problem as the very same devices work fine when used with w2k in virtualbox. [19:20] hi. i seem to have lost pulseaudio. pavucontrol shows the rhythmbox output meter jumping with the music (under "applications" [19:20] gnomefreak: I am running xbmc-live it boots right into the xbmc program [19:21] do You know any solution? [19:21] dto: pulseaudio is a server. If you see something 'jumping', you are still connected. [19:21] Hi, i am trying to make some changs to the live cd. I want to run a bash script after log on, i snuck the script into /etc/profile but i dont not have keyboard support to be able to read input from the user. Do i need to put the script in the casper-bottom files? [19:21] gnomefreak: here is the guide I was following http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=76944 [19:21] ElTimo: check this out, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [19:21] habs, then at the bottom there are instructions for how to boot with the modified entry (CTRL+X as I recall) [19:22] ElTimo: helped me a lot, my problem was it was trying to load 2 drivers [19:22] flomaster: there really isnt anything you can do, you can try to remove the kernel but you need to be booted into a different version. but i am not suggesting it [19:22] Jaminc: I would, but I can't edit that line. It's weird, every other line is editable, but when I try to move my typing cursor to that line, it just skips over it and goes to the 8th line. [19:22] minimec: what i mean is, i can output just fine with JACK, but with pulseaudio i hear nothing. [19:22] without touching the speakers or mixer. [19:22] gnomefreak plz help me wid my problm... [19:22] minimec: it worked forever up until last week or so [19:22] Habs, the 7th line is actually a continuation of the line above it [19:22] Oh. Now I see. [19:22] habs, it's a VERY long line [19:22] gnomefreak: ok thanks for looking into it [19:23] dto: JAck is not compatible with pulseaudio. As soon as you stop the Jack control, you will hear sound again. ;) [19:23] minimec: i have an m-audio delta 1010 (ice1712) wnormally, pulseaudio just plays. [19:23] Ok. Adding the code. [19:23] Ok. Excreting the crap. [19:23] minimec: but i just booted up and haven't started jack. [19:23] dto: OK. So its another issue [19:23] bowel movement [19:23] pranjalverma: i cant make it magiclly support something it doesnt [19:23] dto: Volume? Check the output optoins in the preferences... [19:23] laxative: what are you talking about? [19:23] minimec: i looked in sound preference / devices and it only says "1 input, 1 output" [19:23] i'm talking about feces [19:23] minimec: one momane [19:23] Does anyone have any idea how gnome sets the laf for java to use gtk? [19:23] ViN86, none of it seems to help me [19:24] * gnomefreak give benifit of doubt for now [19:24] lag: well may i suggest you stop [19:24] Jaminc: Alright. I added " nomodeset". [19:24] Pici: i had it [19:24] habs, ok... now boot with it... instructions are at the bottom but I believe it's CTRL+X [19:24] is there any way out thru softwares and commands that i can increase d no of workstations.... i have 1gb ram,.Processor atom [19:24] ElTimo: did you read section 4.3.5? [19:25] ElTimo: do you dualboot windows? [19:25] ElTimo: is the wireless enabled in windows? [19:25] pranjalverma, use Desktop instead of Netbook version? [19:25] Ok. At the bottom it says "Press Ctrl-x to boot". I pressed Ctrl-X. [19:25] * laxative turd [19:25] !ops | laxative [19:25] #painbio [19:25] laxative: Help! Channel emergency!

[19:27] Jaminc: I now get the default Ubuntu login screen. [19:27] Jaminc: should I log in? [19:27] hi [19:27] habs, as I suspected... the open source driver is trying to load for your card... yes login [19:28] dto: Hmm... I guess you did the right choice [19:28] habs, once logged in we need to either load the proprietary driver or make the nomodeset permanent [19:28] Could someone possibly help me with some audio issues I've been having? [19:28] For some reason, clicking on a 'mailto' link in any browser is not working at all. It does not start up Thunderbird (my default mail client) nor does it create an email. Can anybody help me track down why, and fix it? [19:28] Jaminc: ok. How would I go about doing that? [19:29] habs, which way would you prefer? the proprietary driver will likely support more of the features of that display [19:29] iConfused: what was it? remember, there is no need to ask for permission to ask questions, this is a support channel [19:29] hello I was wondering if I can get some help.. I have sever A.D.D...

[19:30] Jaminc: the display is very blurry right now. I suppose I would like to load the driver. [19:30] zeknox: I can use google as an option, but I would prefer to do email through my mail client. Thanks for the link. [19:30] habs, ok... System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [19:30] can any one sugguest a channel i can goto ? [19:30] habs, the blurry display is likely due to the lower resolution... I believe the nomodeset line forced the use of the very basic vesa driver [19:31] pranjalverma: Add the workspace switcher applet to the panel, then right click it, select properties and then you can change the number of workspaces. [19:31] Habs: if displays are blurry that can be because the resolution is not the native resolution of the monitor, or because the analog/digital sync is poor.

I want to run a bash script after log on, i snuck the script into /etc/profile but i dont not have keyboard support to be able to read input from the user.

[19:31] Ok, I've had this issue as long as I can remember, but, on my laptop, the volume settings have never worked correctly. If I set it under ~20%, it cuts off completely, and it err only sounds "crisp" if I put the volume all the way up to 100% (the quality degrades as I put the volume down) [19:31] Fableflame: probably Vuze. [19:31] Jaminc: "Downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available."

[19:34] MeMike504: you're either missing an r or an e - so either yuo or yuor server has adhd [19:34] Walex, I may do a video recording that may explain what is happening better than I can do with text. Would this be helpful? (also, I've had this issue in every linux distro I've tried, may be a useful thing to mention?) [19:35] when i have the scroll lock on, my windows behave differently, how can i tell X to ignore the scroll lock while it's on, i need it on for my keyboard lights but it can be very annoying the way X behaves [19:35] what is UNR...? [19:35] pranjalverma: Ubuntu Netbook Remix [19:36] Jaminc: there are two drivers available. Should I get both of them? [19:36] pranjalverma, UNR = Ubuntu Netbook Remix which was rename Ubuntu Netbook Edition in 10.04 [19:36] anyone else here noticed that the server and desktop installs result in different IDs for the same groups? [19:36] habs, get the one labeled "current" [19:37] Jaminc: ok. It's activated now. [19:37] habs, ok... you'll need to reboot for it to fully take effect... but should be able to allow it to boot normally (no editing) [19:37] Walex, Also, if you need to know what laptop I'm on, it's a Dell Inspiron E1705 [19:38] Google chrome beats firefox by the furthest margin ever, but how do i download youtube videos, isnt their a flash video dowbloader extension like the one in firefox? [19:38] how to run windows from LINUX??? [19:39] Jaminc: ok, but turns out it's still downloading the driver. I'll restarted when it's finished. [19:39] prabinmetals, there are several options [19:39] prabinmetals, VirtualBox perhaps? [19:39] is there a way to blacklist the spam of wifi networks that ubuntu refuses to leave alone? [19:39] prabinmetals, get VirtualBox [19:39] !backup | imanc [19:39] imanc: There are many ways to back your system up.

[19:39] i have 29 wifi networks in my area that ubuntu tries too connect to. and it wont listen too me when i tell it too connect too mine [19:40] Habs, hard to say... but I believe this /should/ fix it [19:40] prabinmetals, Also, make sure you have a Windows CD or an iso (one that you made, obviously, I'm not going to promote piracy) [19:40] habs, based on the behavior you've described so far, I'm pretty confident this will correct it [19:40] BluesKaj: thanks! [19:40] Jaminc: the driver is about 1/4 done, so this may take a few minutes. [19:40] imanc, np [19:41] yea, it's pretty decent sized download [19:41] please someone answer before ubuntu decided it doesnt like my wifi again [19:41] gartral: Did you try a connection without any encryption first (disabled on router)? What encryption type are you using? [19:41] gartral: add your wifi ap manually, right click on the nm-applet, and select edit connections, then ubuntu will just use that connection [19:41] gartral, right click the wifi status icon in the upper right and edit connections [19:42] gartral, select Wireless and delete all the others [19:42] minimec: no encryption on mine, or many of the other networks. trism ive donw that, ubuntu still misbehaves. jamic delete is greyed out [19:43] if i delete the .bash_history will it stop saving my bash commands? [19:43] gartral, for it to be enabled you must select the network you want to delete... [19:43] how do i erase the MBR of a drive? [19:43] guys i got that error when i use apt-get "Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:8080:" [19:43] any help [19:43] jaminc: also, only 2 or 3 of the offending networks are in that list, it's like ubuntu isnt keeping track of who it's connecting through [19:44] tacomaster: no only wha tis already in there [19:44] linux_g33k: You need to disable the http proxy in the apt.conf file. [19:44] jimmy51_, what you actualy want to do? [19:44] s/wha tis/what is [19:44] jaminc: im not a moron, im selecting the networks and the only button available is ADD [19:44] gartral, as far as I know it will only attempt connection to networks it's connected to before [19:44] Jaminc: the driver is finished. Restarting now. [19:44] Hello to everyone - Question: when i lock my PC i see a message that reads: Leave message | Switch user | and cancel. So, how do i read a message that someone leaves for me?

[19:45] jaminc: well then nm is borked cause it keeps rotating networks.. im surprised it's stayed connected this long [19:45] gartral: So even without any encryption, you have connection problems... I would consider a newer kernel from ubuntu kernel mainline. This is a ppa. I would try the recent 2.6.35 rc1 kernel. I also do have some wireless issues and the *.35 kernel stabilized the situation. [19:45] minimec: what's the PPA line? or page [19:45] what channel can i ask about customizing a live CD? [19:45] !fixgrub | jimmy51_ i dont understand you fully. if you want to reinstall linux boot load i.e. grub then this is the link if not then if you want to restore windows mbr then ask in ##windows [19:45] jimmy51_ i dont understand you fully. if you want to reinstall linux boot load i.e. grub then this is the link if not then if you want to restore windows mbr then ask in ##windows: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

Comment out any instance of the http proxy with a double slashie: // [19:46] hi [19:46] linux_g33k: If you set a proxy in a GUI somewhere, then go back and disable it too. [19:46] minimec: i've already slammed my router into a marble floor cause i was pissed off >.> [19:47] so, no one else has noticed that the server and desktop installs generate different IDs for the same groups and a conflicting user ID? [19:47] Jaminc: I rebooted, and I was able to go into Ubuntu normally, and the resolution is much crisper. Thank you so much. I would never have been able to do this on my own. [19:47] gartral: what architecture are you on? i386? amd64? [19:48] habs, glad it worked for you... that option is a bit obscure [19:48] Hello to everyone - Question: when i lock my PC i see a message that reads: Leave message | Switch user | and cancel. So, how do i read a message that someone leaves for me? [19:48] dajhorn, thanks it works :) [19:48] minimec: it's a wierd system.. it's AMR/i386 hybrid.. i have to recompile the kernel after every update just so i can use the core speed governer.. [19:49] ARM/I386* [19:49] Ok, I've had this issue as long as I can remember, but, on my laptop, the volume settings have never worked correctly. If I set it under ~20%, it cuts off completely, and it err only sounds "crisp" if I put the volume all the way up to 100% (the quality degrades as I put the volume down). The quality degrading doesn't happen on external speakers or headphones, but it still cuts off at ~20%. [19:49] One more thing though jaminc: Is it possible to get Ubuntu to be compatible with my slide-out screen? [19:50] which package should I file the bug report against for the conflicting/different users/groups between server and desktop installs? [19:50] gartral: So you use your own kernel. Did you try the official kernel to verify the connection problems? [19:50] I have a problem with pgadmin3 libwx_base* I think an update messed up the dependencies and now pgadmin can't launch. here is a description of the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/612053 [19:50] vicsar: it pops up in a little window when you unblock the screen [19:50] do you know what could be a workaround ? [19:50] habs, that I don't know... never had one to test with... but if it is supported it would be through the nvidia control panel [19:50] lnxg33k: Welcome. [19:50] gartral: Besides. There is no ppa kernel for ARM devices. [19:50] Habs, System -> Administration -> Nvidia X Server Settings [19:51] Yup, thanks. [19:51] vicsar: even if they leave many many messages, they will be on top of each other, as you read and press ok, you get to the next in the stack [19:51] is there a channel i can ask about live cd customization? [19:51] deeeed, it was me reporting the bug i have a solution for it wait [19:51] abhijit, nice :) [19:51] gartral: But there would be a 2.6.35 i386 kernel to test http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/linux-headers-2.6.35-020635rc1-generic_2.6.35-020635rc1_i386.deb [19:52] gartral: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/linux-image-2.6.35-020635rc1-generic_2.6.35-020635rc1_i386.deb [19:52] Thank you all... i just tested it and it worked. But it never worked before. I hate when these things happen :) [19:52] deeeed, see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1542391 [19:53] minimec: that looks old. .35 has already been released [19:53] plop tlm [19:53] abhijit, thx [19:53] ChogyDan: I agree, but it is the newest precompiled available for lucid. [19:53] deeeed, no first look if it sovled your problem. [19:53] ChogyDan: I'd say .36 is within days of release. [19:54] abhijit, yep I'm trying it now [19:55] deeeed, try. and just comment on the launchpad bug or that ubuntu forum link i gave that it worked for you or not worked. [19:55] ok [19:56] minimec: I don't know what that tagging means, but I thought all those kernels could be installed were for whatever release, since they have no ubuntu patches === lilx is now known as Guest59259 [19:56] deeeed, not on launchpad bug. i request you to comment on forum link. sorry for repeatation. === Lew|Pizza is now known as Lew|is|watching| === Lew|is|watching| is now known as Lew|film [19:57] dajhorn, the problem appears again [19:57] can anybody help please, i installed google chrome 32 bit using force architecture. now how do i uninstall it? [19:58] ChogyDan: THat is a good questin. But with lucid there should be this new kernel upgrade policy. So I guess there will be an official *35 kernel available sooner or later. [19:58] patrick__, sudo apt-get remove chromium-browser [19:58] okay thank you. let me try that [19:58] patrick__, careful chromium-browser is NOT google chrome [19:59] anyone have issues with update-initramfs just hanging and doing nothing? [19:59] E: Couldn't find package chrome-browser [19:59] patrick__, maybe you should try google-chrome [19:59] it wont create a new initrd, there are no errors, it just hangs [19:59] patrick__: check the correct package name... dpkg --list | fgrep google [19:59] manually calling mkinitramfs just starts a process but that never does anything [19:59] it says google chrome is not installed, so not removed [20:00] then, try to: $ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge whatever here [20:00] patrick__, "apt-cache search chrome" and see if you get any output [20:00] patrick__: you may need to use dpkg instead [20:01] chromium-browser - Chromium browser [20:01] google-chrome-beta - The web browser from Google [20:01] google-chrome-stable - The web browser from Google [20:01] google-chrome-unstable - The web browser from Google [20:01] patrick__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:01] do all the distros have web-based docs that seem to intermix instructions for every version of their distro? [20:01] im stuck in a loop here with update-initramfs, dpkg and mkinitramfs [20:01] hehe [20:01] $sudo dpkg -P package_name [20:01] all in bash [20:02] patrick__, how did you install? [20:02] why can't each version of ubuntu just have its own set of instructions [20:02] can anyone assist with what appears to be a bug in update-initramfs? [20:02] itsux2bu: it does [20:02] called the documentation [20:03] do this.. unless you got this version of program x.. just here for this.. use this link after reading 10 pages here [20:03] Hi. What command can I run to change the desktop background? I'm thinking of changing it automaticlly every 10 minutes for my little sister. [20:03] im using a amd64 ubuntu. i install the google chrome using $ sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb [20:03] can anyone assist with what appears to be a bug in update-initramfs? [20:03] itsux2bu: there is even people complaining the exact opposite you just did "why the documentatation is not the same for every version of Ubuntu?!" [20:04] im not sure you can uninstall it via apt-get [20:04] is there a technical/dev ubuntu channel? [20:04] try using dpkg [20:04] dpkg index [20:04] patrick__, does "sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable" work? [20:05] Well, I found a forum entry that almost EXACTLY describes my issue. But there are no replies. :( [20:05] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=834721 [20:05] anyone know why rhythmbox's "click-to-hide/unhide" panel behavior was changed? [20:06] Package google-chrome-stable is not installed, so not removed [20:06] can anyone help with customizing a live cd [20:06] is there a technical/dev ubuntu channel? [20:06] anyone here notice that the base server and desktop installs (only default packages) generate different group IDs for the same groups and a conflicting user ID? [20:06] utkanos: #ubuntu-bugs might be helpful in helping you track down that bug [20:06] ok thanks [20:07] it seems like update-initramfs is jacked up [20:07] it will not behave properly [20:07] arrrrgh [20:07] hi [20:08] i have a question about RAID10 / installation of ubuntu [20:08] the current Click->"Show Rhythmbox" (which only sometimes does anything depending on minimized state, other workspaces, etc.) is more work than just clicking a minimized window on the taskbar... so the panel icon for rhythmbox ends up being less convenient than just minimize/panelclick to hide/show [20:08] helo, yeah its annoying [20:08] i would like to be sure that option RAID10 available in the ubuntu installation software is really a RAID 10 and not a RAID 01 [20:08] they changed the right click behavior too [20:09] if we could at least make middle-click hide/show rhythmbox, it would be decent [20:09] has anyone ever experienced issues with apt/dpkg and it hanging on update-initramfs? [20:10] helo, part of that goes back to a very old bug report about minimized windows and non-current workspaces... which was closes as a WONTFIX [20:10] !raid [20:10] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:11] helo, agree with you. [20:11] helo: pretty sure that rhymbox iconification is broken in lucid [20:11] ChogyDan: works fine here.. [20:11] it's not broken (per-say)... more the bits it interacts with don't do what are expected of them [20:12] syn-ack: it doesn't work here... It just disappears when I hit close [20:12] i seem to be stuck in a nasty loop of apt/dpkg and update-initramfs/mkinitramfs that I cannot break out of, anyone willing to take a crack at it? [20:12] ChogyDan: sounds like a bad lib, moreso than the icon [20:12] how can I see power consumption of my motherboard and cpu ? [20:12] ChogyDan: I've had bunk glibc's make crap like that happen [20:13] ChogyDan: what I would do is strace the heck out of it [20:13] I can't figure out how to post a status to Facebook with Gwibber [20:14] minimec: would it be possible to extract the kernel modules from that kernel? in it's current state it's rather useless for me. smp wont ru right on this hardware [20:14] Fableflame, gwibber == 'bug'ger [20:14] hwilde: try powertop [20:14] abhijit: Really? Damn, i was really liking this. [20:14] afternoon gents [20:14] syn-ack: ahaha, nm, I just couldn't find the icon, all this time... [20:14] wat is connect to server???? is it a related to filesharing from another pc?????? [20:15] Fableflame, me too. but i have now decided to wait for their next release. :( [20:15] eagleseye: amonst other things, yes [20:15] ChogyDan: FAIL. :P [20:15] gartral:thanks [20:15] abhijit: I hope they get it working soon, it would be beast. I guess I'll have to use pidgin [20:15] i seem to be stuck in a nasty loop of apt/dpkg and update-initramfs/mkinitramfs that I cannot break out of, anyone willing to take a crack at it? [20:16] Does anyone know if there are Intel GMA drivers for 1.0.04? I'm trying to get my box to output 1080i to my HDTV [20:16] err [20:16] 10.04* [20:16] Fableflame, yah hope so. :( [20:16] !hardware | Marikos [20:16] Marikos: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [20:16] gartral: That goes beyond my knowledge... [20:16] !details | utkanos (ask to channel in general) [20:16] utkanos (ask to channel in general): 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 ..." [20:16] gartral: what i need to put in the option SERVER?? [20:17] abhijit: thanks [20:17] ive given the details [20:17] Marikos, welcome. [20:17] gartral: I would rather try to compile the newest driver from the drivers page. [20:17] mkinitramfs/update-initramfs hang for no reason without any error [20:17] I know it outputs resolutions higher than 1080p, i just can't get it to send that to my TV... [20:17] there is nothing in the logs [20:17] they just get orphaned in the process table [20:18] guntbert, so powertop is telling me what the cpu is waking up for but not amps or volts or watts of power [20:18] Pidgin doesn't have a facebook? Crap. [20:18] Fableflame, use empathy [20:18] guntbert, in fact it says no ACPI power usage estimate available [20:19] abhijit: Oh yeah, I forgot about empathy [20:19] hwilde: it does if you pull the AC plug and run on battery [20:19] Ubuntu 10.04 on Dell E1705 (Problem has existed on multiple distros": Ok, I've had this audio issue as long as I can remember, but, on my laptop, the volume settings have never worked correctly. If I set it under ~20%, it cuts off completely, and it err only sounds "crisp" if I put the volume all the way up to 100% (the quality degrades as I put the volume down). The quality degrading doesn't happen on external speakers or headphones, but it [20:19] still cuts off at ~20%. [20:19] abhijit, I was thinking it was part of Gwibber or something [20:19] Fableflame, no its not. [20:20] ok. bye guys! [20:20] hello [20:20] root_, bad idea to run an IRC client as root [20:20] is there a way to do hibernate and suspend without prompting for a password afterwards? [20:21] iConfused: That is clearly an alsa issue. I fthat is an old bug you should try the #alsa channeltoo. [20:21] A couple things are complaining about not receiving replies. Dolphin complains about not being able to connect to X when run from the command line, and when I log in, I get told yet another complaint about not receiving a reply and X. However, a couple other things complain about not receiving a reply that didn't have to do with X, such as trying to view the contents of a floppy disk [20:21] minimec, Thanks. [20:21] zcat[1]: pretty sure there is a gconf setting to make it use the same as screensavor [20:21] iConfused: /join #alsa [20:21] trying to install a different kernel, there is a problem in which it tries to generate the initrd and nothing happens, the process is orphaned in the process table and it returns to a shell [20:22] iConfused: the "cut's off at 20%" is normal/typcial behavior [20:22] iConfused: I also know that some IBM computers handle volume differently. Maybe there's a Dell way too... === _NG is now known as _ng [20:22] ChogyDan, any idea what I'd look for to find that? [20:23] thune3, Oh. That's not good on a laptop XD [20:23] Hi guys, I'm trying to determine the best way to setup 2 WD Caviar Blacks in a mdraid mirror for data only with encrypted LVM. Any suggestions? [20:24] I've thought about just creating the mdraid at the device level then creating an single Linux LVM partition on the raided device. [20:25] o.O [20:25] Mass quit [20:25] anyone who is NOT using gnome able to make java web start applications use the gtk theme as the java look and feel? [20:25] minimec, Also, I know how to join channels, I'm not a *complete* idiot (or at least, I don't /think/ I am o.o) [20:25] xD [20:26] zcat[1]: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466504 [20:26] iConfused: it makes the bottom %20 not very useful, i don't understand how that's all that bad. you can launch alsamixer to watch what it is doing at the bottom 20%. [20:26] I have a dual monitor set up. Is there a way to say "always keep windows on this monitor available for all workspaces"? [20:26] guntbert, it's not a desktop.... [20:26] guntbert, i mean uhh not a laptop. [20:26] ChogyDan, cool thanks, will take a look [20:26] can someone please help with an update-initramfs bug in which it runs but never does anything? [20:27] guntbert, no ACPI power usage estimate available [20:27] testing.. [20:27] utkanos: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub [20:27] already tried that, does nothing [20:27] it [20:27] thune3, I can't make it quieter with a knob like an external speaker. It is quite loud at that volume. [20:28] utkanos: then sudo update-grub [20:28] minimec, update-initramfs runs but never finishes, never throws an error [20:28] i can see the oprhaned processes in the process table [20:28] sitting there doing nothing [20:28] hwilde: then I don't know - sorry - as far as I know the kernel modules all are observing the battery current [20:28] I don't have a battery. I want to see CPU power consumption. [20:28] how can I see power consumption of my motherboard and cpu ? [20:29] utkanos: try these two commands. I cannot damage anything. It just reconfigures and updates. Let's see the result... [20:29] iConfused: oh i see. I would install gnome-alsamixer, and see if you can get good settings directly. [20:29] minimec, thats the first thing I tried [20:29] it never writes files to /boot [20:29] so updating grub is pointless [20:29] anyone in here good with iptables? [20:29] i just ran them again [20:29] for grins [20:29] same problem [20:30] utkanos: Do you have some special /boot partition. Is it full? How many kernel versions are installed? [20:30] nope, one kernel [20:30] trying to generate a new one [20:30] my /boot is very standard, has plenty of space left [20:30] I've just installed a 2TB data drive, do I need reserved space? Can I just tune2fs to 0%? [20:31] utkanos: So you want your new kernel to be recognized... [20:31] thune3, Thank you, I'll try that [20:31] minimec, when i install it via apt, it calls dpkg to do the post install config [20:31] but it does NOTHING, thats the problem [20:31] it never generates the proper initrd image === [keanu] is now known as keanu [20:32] dumb question: I've got a usb card reader with one of those "sync" buttons on it. If it were plugged into a windows machine, an event is triggered to launch an app when the button is pressed. I can't seem to see that event under Ubuntu. Anyone know where that event is caught? [20:32] PyjamaSpank: the same may have been asked of a 10GB drive years ago... besides, by the same reasoning, can't you spare the reserved space now more than ever? [20:32] iConfused: when you launch it (while silence is playing), adjust the pulse volume up and all the way down to see what it is doing, I thing you need to set PCM/LFE to something in the middle and then adjust master. [20:32] minimec, this is what happens, it gets stuck in a loop with dpkg running but not doing anything [20:32] utkanos: I am not really the kernel compile guru, but check your compilation and install process... [20:32] /usr/bin/perl /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic.postinst configure [20:32] im doing it through apt [20:32] PyjamaSpank: maybe i misunderstand [20:32] i have a dual boot system and install xp and ubuntu 8.04 .... the grub did not come up after the ubuntu install ... what do i do ? [20:32] helo: fair point, reserved space is all new to me [20:32] thune3, Thanks ^^ [20:32] hey guys, i'm noob, trying to install dataparksearch,using this instruction http://www.justuber.com/linux:ubuntu_and_debian:installing_dataparksearch_engine_on_ubuntu_from_scratch , and now i got stuck on "/usr/local/dpsearch/sbin/indexer -Ecreate - it SHOULD bring back something like ?blah, blah," it just does not work... [20:32] there's no way i can be doing anything wrong [20:32] apt-get install linux-image-blahblahblah [20:32] utkanos: It looks like the kernel package is not built correctly. [20:33] then its an ubuntu problem, which is why im here asking about it [20:33] whats up [20:33] im using apt to install the kernel [20:33] and i imagine if it was a broken package there would be a lot more people asking about it [20:33] PyjamaSpank: you can probably lower the percentage from the default 5%, though [20:33] this also runs /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 29 --configure linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic [20:33] utkanos: which Ubuntu release are you using? [20:34] forever [20:34] it never finishes [20:34] 10.04 [20:34] utkanos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:34] thune3, Both PCM and LFE Go all the way to max if I change the volume (Up OR Down) [20:34] ive found a workaround for it, so i can install other software [20:34] thune3, Actually [20:34] but i cannot install a kernel [20:34] iConfused: play around in the bottom 20% [20:34] I put the volume all the way down [20:35] utkanos: we have to be clear about 'generate kernel'. What exact kernel package you want to install? [20:35] minimec, ok [20:35] apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic [20:35] and putting up the volume, those two jump up about ~1/3 each time I hit the volume increase button [20:35] that is the package im installing [20:35] thune3, ^ [20:35] helo: I've set it to 1% and seeing as I don't really know what it's, plus a 500GB has just died on me, I'll live with losing 1% [20:35] helo: many thanks for the advice [20:35] iconfused, is this a laptop? [20:35] deciding to install ubuntu in my new mac. which should i concider? 32 bit or 64 bit? [20:35] np [20:35] 32bit [20:35] jzarr, Yes [20:36] why is that? [20:36] minimec: here goes everything :P [20:36] gartral: What did it? [20:36] utkanos: What kernel is installed? [20:36] 2.6.32-22 [20:36] What's a good program for using Twitter? [20:36] It seems that I can move the master without those two jumping if I do it with the mouse instead of the volume buttons, thune3 and jzarr [20:37] utkanos: uanme -a in a console [20:37] i have a dual boot system and install xp and ubuntu 8.04 .... the grub did not come up after the ubuntu install ... what do i do ? [20:37] ive tried a few other kernels, same result, when it gets to update-initramfs it fails [20:38] minimec, Linux hostname 2.6.32-22-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP [20:38] but i dont understand why that matters [20:38] Hmmm [20:38] I can get nice volume levels if I do it manually [20:39] I hope I can get it just to push the master volume via the buttons [20:39] minimec, the only way to fix apt is to purge the package from dpkg [20:39] then run the configure [20:39] but that only gets me back to having apt work, it does not solve the problem of not being able to use mkinitramfs/update-initramfs to generate a new ramdisk [20:40] utkanos: Hmmm... Does this look familliar? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/617454 [20:40] i get the rest of the files I need for the kernel except for the initrd [20:40] utkanos: u mean there is no intird created? [20:40] hej [20:40] minimec, no, i dont get an exit status [20:40] it just HANGS [20:40] jest ktos z pl? [20:40] shadowwulf:U might have overwritten your bootloader ! [20:40] thune3, is there a command for increasing/decreasing the master volume *ONLY*? [20:40] lucitu, yes that's the crux of the problem [20:41] the post install configure falls on its face and just hangs [20:41] calling mkinitramfs manually or update-initramfs manually just hang, they dont fail [20:41] utkanos: have you tried mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-version ? [20:41] utkanos: Maybe lucitu has a good idea, because I don't ;) [20:41] i get my prompt back and it just orphans the process indefinitely [20:41] shaw1337, ok how do i fix that ? i have win xp and unbuntu 8.04 and fdisked the bootloader to reinstall ubuntu .... and after i installed ubuntu .. it isnt showing up .... should have installed it [20:41] lucitu, been there/tried that [20:41] they just run [20:41] nothing ever happens [20:41] minimec, thanks for trying [20:42] iConfused: where do you have PCM/LFE setting? [20:42] utkanos: my plesure [20:42] I'm upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04, I'm installing the upgrades first before upgrading to 10.04. Am I wasting time? [20:42] shaw1337, how do i fix that ...

[20:43] u cant u need a fresh install [20:43] thune3, yes, I'm happy with the range [20:43] efuse: err running irc as root?, what about code injections aren't you screwed?

[20:47] its not full, thanks though maco [20:47] shaw1337, so the first screen i get is windows xp after post [20:47] if i was getting an exit code or an error it would be helpful, the problem is that it literally just does *nothing* [20:47] someone using aptana with success ? [20:48] i cant troubleshoot something that doesn't actually fail [20:48] utkanos: did you try strace? [20:48] utkanos: if there's no initrd yet why noy use the -c option [20:48] shadowwulf : you can search on web , its a common problem !!! [20:48] utkanos: it doesnt exit? [20:48] anyone know of any tool that can record a video stream into specific file size chunks or length chunks without closing the stream between files? [20:48] helo, been there, nothing of importance [20:48] lucitu, the -c hangs too [20:48] shaw1337, any suggestions ? i havent found one yet on the net [20:48] it just chills in the process table, doing nothing [20:48] hey guys, I aked a question earlier [20:48] That exclamation+ops command looks like it could be easily be abused D: [20:48] nvm [20:49] shaw1337, i found a few .. but they didnt fix it [20:49] utkanos: definitely sounds like a bug. report it [20:49] im trying to [20:49] utkanos: is ubuntu-bug failing? [20:49] they wont listen to me in there [20:49] I wonder why it's a pain to run aptana under Ubuntu [20:49] utkanos: no, the command, "ubuntu-bug" [20:49] ah [20:49] utkanos: thats how you report bugs... [20:49] ubuntu-bug should listen to you :) [20:49] someone in here has to be good at iptables??? i need some assistance [20:49] utkanos: bec you are the only one affected so far :) [20:49] lucitu, not true, someone else ran into it [20:50] in a different fashion [20:50] dschuett: i'm not but i found a good resource to set up a good firewall config [20:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1149445 [20:50] shadowwulf :http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/9398-solving-boot-problems-grub-2nd-edition.html [20:50] yes hello [20:50] im baaaaack [20:50] aeon-ltd: mind sharing the source? [20:50] efuse20: Do you have a support question [20:50] lucitu, the problem with setting that variable to NO is that it wont actually update the initrd [20:50] its a self-fulfilling problem [20:51] i can install other software by setting that variable to no, but not a kernel, which is what i actually need to do [20:51] so [20:51] please explain [20:51] how is running as root bad [20:51] please use 3 sentences or less [20:51] shaw1337, it takes me here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol [20:51] efuse20: Please stop pressing enter between every three words. [20:51] is vmware sufficent tool [20:51] shaw and its not grub2 ... its grub 1 [20:51] yes hello two [20:51] dschuett: its more or less the same but starting saveing and restarting the daemon is different http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Simple_stateful_firewall [20:51] i chat like this [20:52] this is the way i chat [20:52] is vmware sufficent tool to learn about linux with? I dont wanna make the migration from windows to linux yet as I dont know anything about it [20:52] What's the command to create a new directory in Terminal? [20:52] lucitu, can you think of a workaround maybe? [20:52] Fableflame, mkdir [20:52] utkanos: i thought you don't have an initrd? [20:52] lucitu, I have one, but i am trying to make another one for the new kernel [20:52] utkanos: What about changing directories? cd? [20:52] efuse20, in case you didn't realize: this is a support channel, not your personal playground. If you can't behave, just go somewhere else. [20:52] the one I have is for my existing kernel [20:52] Fableflame, yes [20:53] efuse20: Unless you can follow our channel guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines , you won't be here for much longer. [20:53] shadowwulf: thats a shadow of a wolf :) [20:53] efuse20: #ubuntu-offtopic [20:53] utkanos, thanks [20:53] shaw1337, it is ... [20:53] Pici, oh ffs, why? [20:53] efuse20: running as root is not bad, go for it! [20:53] anyone know if it is possible to use two completly separate x-sessions on a computer and have two separate keyboards totally independent of each other? [20:54] efuse20: code can be run without checking. [20:54] sorry for the repitation but I think my question fell between the chairs, is vmware sufficent tool to learn about linux with? I dont wanna make the migration from windows to linux yet as I dont know anything about it [20:54] m0RrE: Yes, it is possible, but you'll be deep into the xorg.conf configuration file. [20:54] utkanos: you said you tried mkinitramfs already? [20:54] lucitu, yep, it just hangs [20:54] it returns me to a prompt but just backgrounds the process and it never completes [20:54] Has anyone got magic workstation to be playable in wine? [20:54] shadowwulf , ask on #grub [20:54] Nadav, you can try a live CD or wubi [20:55] Nadav, the best way to learn is to build it from scratch, partition some space and install it or get a junker computer and go from there [20:55] is running a machine on vmware diffrent from those? [20:55] Nadav: sure, linux on vmware is the same as linux on metal, only a little slower :) [20:55] build it? you mean build linux? im a total newbie to it, no idea how in hell am i gonna do it :P [20:55] not really, no, that is a fine way to do it, just slower [20:55] thanks :P [20:55] Nadav: it will be the same, but you won't be able to test out all your hardware [20:55] I have a feeling that you will hear my questions alot here :D [20:56] Nadav, documentation exists and its easy to follow [20:56] utkanos: maybe there is something wrong with your new kernel [20:56] dajhorn: do you know how to configure this behaviour? [20:56] lucitu, it does this for any kernel i install via apt [20:56] Nadav: yeah, the hardware support should be tested out via livecd before you install on an actual machine [20:56] alright, thanks guys, im out now [20:56] ill try install it on vmware later :)! [20:56] night for now [20:56] lucitu, im tempted to just install a kernel manually the old fashioned way but package managed distros tend to flip out on stuff like that historically [20:56] m0RrE: It's a lot of work. I can answer some high-level questions, but you're not in the right place to get a walkthrough. [20:57] dajhorn: ok, do you know where to start digging for info about this? [20:57] utkanos: how about trying update-initramfs -u your-existing initrd [20:58] the directory I'm making isn't showin gup [20:58] just says not updating initramfs [20:58] Fableflame, what did you type [20:59] utkanos, nevermind, I found it [20:59] k [20:59] m0RrE: If you need to do this for Real Work, then you probably want to enable XDMCP or a similar facility. If you're doing this for fun, then you need to create separate 'Screen' sections and manually specify 'Monitor' and 'InputDevice' stanzas for each. [20:59] utkanos, but now I need to know how to list a directory [20:59] Fableflame, ls [20:59] utkanos, thanks [20:59] to get a more verbose output, try ls -al [20:59] utkanos: maybe try re-installing initramfs-tools [21:00] lucitu, tried that too :\ [21:00] dajhorn: ok, thx [21:00] m0RrE: Welcome. [21:00] utkanos: looks like you are hopeless - re-install..done that too? [21:00] getting a bunch of unmet dependencies errors on an apt-get install attempt. how do i kill the problem? [21:01] lucitu, this was my last ditch before a reinstall [21:01] arpegius: guns [21:01] can i ask a question about aircrack or i'll get banned? [21:01] lucitu, i dont like letting this stuff beat me [21:02] arpegius: pastebin the whole error, and someone might be able to help [21:02] astoriakidd: no but its best to ask in #backtrack === MashTomato is now known as MashPotato [21:03] hey, serious problem [21:03] my apt-get error: http://pastie.org/1113158 [21:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991144 this bug, from over a year ago, is still there [21:03] -f install didnt work [21:03] hello [21:03] i just installed ubuntu last night on my VM [21:03] its pretty cool [21:03] op abuse in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:04] someone please help [21:04] and the fix doesnt work anymore afaik because it doesnt prompt about accessing the keyword [21:04] what are some things i should learn? [21:04] *keyring [21:04] i know sudo ifconfig eth0 down/up, sudo macchanger -r eth0 [21:04] astoriakidd: well what do you want to do? [21:04] arpegius: can you pastebin every command that doesn't work [21:04] arpegius: learn to use aircrack [21:04] or something cool, im not sure. [21:05] the macchanger -r eth0 is pretty cool [21:05] i used it to trick Drop Box [21:05] and got 8GB in 30mins [21:05] I'm not sure if this is the right place to talk about such things, astoriakidd [21:05] ChogyDan: updated: http://pastie.org/1113158 same error no matter what [21:05] arpegius: what about `apt-get install -f`? [21:06] Gnurdux: oops sorry [21:06] those aren't really ubuntu questions [21:06] ChogyDan: http://pastie.org/1113158 [21:06] why do people use ubuntu? you cant get viruses? [21:06] astoriakidd, because they like it [21:07] or because it's better for what they do [21:07] astoriakidd: alternative to windows?, free, nicer to older hardware [21:07] or because it's free [21:07] i c [21:07] !ot | astoriakidd [21:07] astoriakidd: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:08] is 'sudo' like giving an admin command? [21:08] higher authority?

[21:11] Gnurdux, no .. i installed ubuntu after xp [21:11] arpegius: any luck? [21:11] Gnurdux, ah, those can't be set manuallyt [21:11] ChogyDan: nada [21:11] Gnurdux, seahorse doesn't have an interface for adding random properties to secret and network-manager needs that [21:12] arpegius: do it redownloads, and still gives an error about a broken pipe? [21:12] Seveas, and network-manager can't actually make these secrets because it forgets to prompt you [21:12] and this is not seen as a disaster? [21:12] anybody know program with my friend can see my screen, or I can see my friend's screen ?

[21:13] there is NO WAY to enter the password [21:14] Gnurdux, which vpn type? [21:14] ChogyDan: thanks for your help. moving past it for now. [21:14] openconnect [21:14] arpegius: you may also want to check on the /usr/share/man/man1/msgcmp.1.gz, see if it exists already [21:15] Gnurdux, any ideas ? [21:15] shadowwulf, try reinstalling grub [21:15] never used that, only cisco and openvpn (which both have password fields). If it really has no password entry field, I'd file a bug.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:23] adamr41: hmm ... I'm not certain if I can aid you here: just an short explanation: all lines starting without - or * are to be typed in the CLI, from "make install" on as root (sudo....) [21:24] adamr41: instead of vi you can use nano as editor (a bit easier) [21:25] guntbert: I'm entirely new to this, so I wouldn't even know where to start. [21:26] adamr41: let me lead you to the start: did you download that package? [21:26] adamr41: you looking for a very easy to use CLI text editor? [21:26] \here [21:26] mneptok: no, he tries to follow some instructions [21:26] guntbert: the ralinktech driver?

[21:28] guntbert: fairly certain..the guide is for the same model as my adapter.

[21:31] Seveas, got it using the suggested hack [21:31] i locked my login keyring, then restarted network manager [21:32] then it prompted me [21:32] Gnurdux, that's pretty awful [21:32] yes, yes it is [21:32] did it at least store the secret somewhere? [21:32] yep [21:32] what is the best video player that can run uncompressed videos fastly without clittering and skipping [21:32] once you do that, it stores the secret [21:32] What is the ubuntu equivalent for #debian-mentors ? [21:32] Gnurdux, please do file a bug though [21:33] hello [21:33] I have an ssh question [21:33] regarding ssh keys [21:33] and nohup [21:33] Hi everyone [21:34] I am currently running a daemon written in php that will ocasionally access remote servers via ssh using rsa keys for authentication [21:34] this works out great [21:34] I know that this is the ubuntu chat, but I would like to know if someone by any chance knows how to factory reset a optimus md-1200 keyboard, or at least can tell me where to get help [21:35] but when I fork my daemon into the background withnohup it will still work until I close my ssh session where I initiated the nohup [21:35] macro, are the ssh keys stored locally or are you using an ssh agent? [21:36] gabriel_: how do you mean reset? [21:37] How do I go about changing the icon for a single file? [21:37] gabriel_: in what way? [21:37] the piano memory is erased [21:37] It turns on but the data is gone [21:38] Is there a way to factory reset? === asa is now known as Sunderphon [21:39] elixlon> the keyboard turns on but there is no data on it [21:39] Aegiusfang: what is your issue? [21:39] elixlon> is there a way to factory reset the piano? [21:40] I was wondering, how do I go about changing the icon of a single file? [21:41] Seveas: keys stored locally [21:41] I am trying to help a friend recover data from a laptop, he has an ubuntu CD, is there a way to sudo the graphical file explorer? [21:42] Has anyone else encountered this bug? when my battery is fully charged, the notify-osd prompt telling me about it loops infinitely. I have to kill it every time [21:42] elixlon> thanks a lot for the info [21:42] macro, try running the daemon in screen instead of just with nohup [21:42] bieb, what's wrong with cp? [21:42] asdf_baron, file a bug please [21:42] Is anyone familiar with sound problems in 10.04 and how to deal with alsa changes. [21:43] but ya, type "gksu nautilus" in the terminal [21:43] Sunderphon, files don't have icons [21:43] he wants to be able to browse through and just select the files he wants to copy off to flash drive. [21:43] and then nautilus will be root [21:43] Seveas: it runs great with nohup, its when I logout from that session I started nohup is when the daemon fails to authenticate [21:43] bieb, ls+cp much simpler then nautilus [21:43] Seveas: They do, because I just managed to change the icon [21:43] exit [21:43] macro, ah, so it is definitely an authentication error, not an ssh protocol error? [21:43] !ask | Aegiusfang [21:43] Aegiusfang: 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).

ONe learns something new every day :) [21:44] sailerboy: I will give him both options.. [21:44] sailerboy: thanks! [21:44] np [21:44] if he cant find the terminal [21:44] You change the icon by going to the properties menu and actually clicking on the icon in the properties menu. I'm surprised at that, that's *incredibly* unfriendly to new users [21:44] he can push alt-f2 [21:44] BedMan thanks that helps a whole lot. [21:45] and then type gksu nautilus in there [21:45] cool [21:45] seveas: I dunno why ssh fails to authenticate once I exit that session, but it works fine when i'm logged in [21:45] coreyman: I was going for cookr35, but he quit and your name got tabbed in :-( [21:46] macro, then it could simply be the missing TTY that annoys ssh. Running it in screen solves that. [21:46] BedMan oh :( [21:46] could someone help me with this? I don't see this in the repositories http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads [21:46] sailerboy: does gksu mean sudo gui?? ie.. can I gksu someother program and be root??

[21:48] I updated today, and looks like something broke in Gnome Power management. ANyone also see this? [21:48] guntbert, i gave all details [21:48] macro, it wouldn't be wise to daemonize a php script at all imho.

Thanks! [21:55] option snd_devicename index=0 [21:55] and so on [21:56] Seveas, i thought it was just a GUI for OpenVZ [21:56] Hello. Does anybody know what I would have to install if I want to play MIDI files on Ubuntu? [21:56] try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Getting%20MIDI%20To%20Work%20-%20*EXPERIMENTAL* [21:56] Tranks. [21:57] Thanks* [21:57] Seveas, what can i installl that can serve as a GUI for OpenVZ? [21:57] !midi | eduardo__ [21:57] eduardo__: Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [21:57] yitz_, no ubuntu version was released with that specific kernel version [21:57] n8 [21:57] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ has all available versions [21:58] Thanks, Acidphase, ubottu [21:58] no problem [21:58] Ok gotta run just figured I'd let you guys know what worked for me [21:59] Divecks: you can get around that bug by enabling the "cache host I/O" setting for the sata adapter of that machine -- further virtual box support in #vbox :-) [21:59] hello? [22:00] !hi | pie_time [22:00] pie_time: 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! [22:00] can anyone tell me what I can install that can serve as a GUI for OpenVZ? [22:00] pie_time, you shouldnt [22:01] why would you want a GUI wasting your vps resources [22:01] guntbert, Right, that was it's suggested workaround, and it also told be that it had gone ahead and enabled that for me. Thanks for the info, i'll head over to #vox :D [22:01] need help.. did an update and now laptop won't boot [22:02] pie_time, ya there [22:02] !details | parindra [22:02] parindra: 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 ..." [22:02] dont just ask a fuckin question and leave... [22:02] sailerboy, it makes it easier to make VPS [22:02] !language | sailerboy [22:02] sailerboy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:02] :| [22:02] pie_time: well it does't [22:02] pie_time, it really doesnt [22:02] ubuntu is plenty friendly [22:02] hello [22:02] if you want to tell us what you are having trouble with, we'd be glad to help you [22:02] pie_time: cli is your friend [22:02] any one uses bt4_ [22:02] but you need to learn to use the terminal [22:03] shh [22:03] I have a problem with booting after doing an update, running Ubuntu 10.4... and the problem is with ududev trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured [22:03] damian__, this is an ubuntu channel [22:03] not a backtrack4 channel [22:03] pie_time: you mean ssh :P [22:03] it then says gave up waiting for root device while in busybox shell [22:03] yes I know [22:04] I also use ubuntu 10.4 [22:04] damian__: then don't ask here about backtrack please [22:04] parindra, ok, so you rebooted in the middle of the upgrade. Boot from a livecd, chroot into the installed system and run this: dpkg --configure -a; apt-get -f install [22:04] does anyone know if there is a GUI available for OpenVZ? [22:04] ok ok relax [22:04] pie_time, vnc [22:04] pie_time: well it would be helpful if you specified your meanings of "GUI" [22:04] Seveas, the machine rebooted itself after doing an update, does that make a difference? [22:05] parindra, yes, ubuntu doesn't autoreboot... [22:05] pie_time, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVZ -- under External links [22:05] a GUI is a graphycal interface [22:05] Seveas: how would I go about running a php script in the background with screen ? [22:05] pie_time, do you mean solusvm? [22:05] !screen | macro [22:05] macro: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [22:06] Seveas, or to be more correct, it did the update and it asked to reboot and so clicked on the reboot button [22:06] hi, my F-Spot crashes when refreshing available addins from their "http://addins.f-spot.org/0.6.1/main.mrep" repository [22:06] sailerboy, tuxifier thanks. Seveas this looks good! [22:07] parindra, a full system update (9.10 to 10.04 for instance) or just a few packages? [22:07] pie_time, it's still not a good idea for a vps [22:07] or any server really [22:07] For the battery indicator in the tray applet or whatever, is it possible to set it to show the percent instead of the little battery icon? [22:07] iConfused, no [22:07] Seveas, we were already on 10.04, and it was just a few packages.. whatever came up in the Update Manager [22:08] (or set it to show percentage on click? As it just gives me a time estimate o.o) [22:08] is there a fix for F-Spot's addin repo? maybe a typo in the url or something? [22:08] parindra, ok, then you'll need to do the livecd trick. Ever done anything like that before? [22:08] Hello, is there a built in ubuntu program which supports ssh/ftp, and which i can use to send files from my other computer on lan (hopefully it also supports external uploading) [22:08] So, I have a 10.04 laptop, and I want to disable the touchpad and use only an external mouse. none of the synaptics instructions I've managed to google up fail (most precede all the X changes now in 10.04 anyway) Using "xinput list", I can determine it's being Identified as "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse". Any ideas how to actually get it disabled? [22:08] Seveas, no, just recently moved to Ubuntu after Vista driving us crazy :) [22:08] bluezone: konqueror fish:// slow but working === alex88 is now known as alex88[sleep] [22:09] that works for gnome too? [22:09] Good night, i need help. How to install the icons panel in down on the screenshot > http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/70621-1.png [22:09] parindra, ok, boot from a livecd, don't start the installer. Install an irc client with apt-get and come back here. [22:09] parindra: ubuntu is not designed to avoid that, unfortunately ;) [22:09] (it's easier to be on irc from the broken machine for copypasting :)) [22:09] bluezone: if you're not afraid of kde dep libs - yes :P [22:10] sortanoob: dont' you have a 'Touchpad' Tab in the mouse configuration tool in sortanoob : if you laptop doesnt have a lock touchpad button then maybe try looking in the mouse section [22:10] or delete the driver i dunno xD [22:10] bluezone: otherwise cli is your friend [22:10] so, what's the release date for meerkat. October ? [22:10] minimec, I checked that for him, it doesn't show an option for disabling it. [22:10] ok [22:10] k tux [22:10] hey guys, my housemate just booted a ubuntu livecd and it's at this login screen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ubuntu+boot+login.gif [22:10] feodor: 10.10 [22:10] i see [22:10] feodor, 10.10.10 [22:10] blank/blank, ubuntu/blank and ubuntu/ubuntu don't work [22:10] at 10:10:10 :) [22:10] any suggestions? :o [22:10] parindra, example: sudo apt-get install xchat [22:11] ok, if i were to uninstall F-Spot will there be any adverse effects related to the ubuntu distro i installed? [22:11] minimec: nope no touchpad tab, seems to think it's a mouse [22:11] Winkie_, try clicking login ;) [22:11] gary_inNYC: I`d recommend digikam [22:11] way better than fspot from my spor [22:11] s/spor/spot/g [22:12] tuxifier: i looked at that, would i have to install kde libraries to make digikam work? [22:12] hello guys, i've tryed so hard to find how to get the high resolution in plymouth, but i've found , but didn't work for me...anyone has a solution? [22:12] gary_inNYC: yes - but it'll be worth it [22:12] tuxifier: k thanks i'll check it out [22:13] thanks guy, i'm looking for the cd [22:14] TheTiM, have you tried steps outlined in http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ === Nwab is now known as Benwa [22:15] let me see [22:15] i know this isn't an ubuntu question, but I want to add VE to eclipse [22:15] I've googled, but I haven't found anything that isn't more than a year old [22:15] nm [22:15] millertimek1a2m3: then don't ask it here please [22:16] found something now [22:16] ZykoticK9: yes, I have!!! :( [22:16] bluezone: thankyou for the producing answer. there IS a touchpad enable button on said laptop, and it easily solves everything. thanks. [22:16] TheTiM, to my knowledge those are the "best" steps for it - i don't bother so I have no other solution. Best of luck. [22:17] i need a lan driver for a gigabyte ga-8i865gvmk mobo but can only find a driver for windows. any idea where i can find this for ubuntu or one comparable? [22:18] vintner, what chipset does it have? [22:18] vintner, why do you need a driver for it? What does not work? [22:18] If realtek, most of the drivers come with the default installation [22:19] ZykoticK9: I have installed the driver that ubuntu told me so... could it be the problem? [22:19] i have no idea rock [22:19] I think i'll try another driver! [22:19] apt pinning question: in archive.ubuntu.com xserver-xorg-video-mga version 1:1.4.11.dfsg-2ubuntu1 is installed and candidate per ' apt cache policy ' ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-syntacs/ppa/ubuntu/ has version 1:1.4.11.dfsg-1~bug292214 available, but (because the version number is lower?) is not a candidate. what to add to /etc/apt/preferences to give a higher priority to the ppa, so that the ppa version gets installed and preferred over the arc [22:19] hive.ubuntu version? if this is the wrong question, please point me in the right direction [22:19] Seveas: even with screen, what I noticed was when I reattached to my session, I had a password prompt, its as if once I detatch from the screen session, ssh key authentication fails [22:19] seveas, i cannot get lan access [22:19] macro, so there you go, it isn't using your keys [22:19] it sees the port when connected with cat5 but im assuming the driver is missing [22:19] TheTiM, if you install a proprietary driver for Xorg that often breaks high resolution Plymouth [22:20] vintner, does sudo ethtool list it? [22:20] Seveas, not able to boot from the cd I burned, is it possible to do this with out it? [22:20] Seveas: how can I force ssh client to use my keys ? [22:20] sec let me see [22:20] vintner, (that is: sudo ethtool eth0) [22:20] macro, ssh -i /path/to/key [22:21] ZykoticK9: tks, i'll try something here..brb [22:21] Seveas: hmm I will try that again, I guess I had a combination of both tty disapearing when I close sesion and this which was always there just didn't notice until now [22:21] Seveas command not found? [22:21] could anyone please help me with permanent samba mounts - have read the ubuntu wiki page about it but it appears to be out of date [22:21] vintner, ok, then try ifconfig -a [22:21] tuxifier im getting connection refused [22:21] RainRain, what specifically do you need [22:21] with fish [22:22] vintner, that should say eth0 and lo on the left side [22:22] it shows eth0 and lo [22:22] correct [22:22] ok, then the card is recognized, no driver needed :) [22:22] errors on eth0 and none on lo [22:22] utkanos: i have a samba partition which i have to mount everytime i startup and i need it automatic [22:22] RainRain, put it in /etc/fstab [22:22] well [22:22] Seveas, not able to boot from the cd I burned, is it possible to do this with out it? [22:22] hey there. so i've got a lucid cd, booted it, asks for username/password. docs say blank/blank shold work but doesn't, what's the deal. btw my housemate just came in here to ask this but got banned, presumably for his offensive hostname. sorry about that. this is a legit question. === asa is now known as Sunderphon [22:23] utkanos: sorry i'm an ubuntu newbie - dont really understand you [22:23] duclicsic, try ubuntu/ubuntu [22:23] ok [22:23] in network connections i have wired connection 1 and auto eth0. both say last used, never [22:23] ZykoticK9: tried [22:23] RainRain, lets talk in PM [22:23] parindra, depends on where exactly it got stuck. You got sent to a busybox shell, right? [22:23] utkanos: sorry im actually an irc newbie too .. pm ? [22:23] Seveas, that is correct, yes [22:23] lol, private message, ill send you one [22:24] parindra, ok, that's really difficult for me to debug remotely I'm afraid. [22:24] Seveas, I think I realized I used the wrong cd, back to looking for it [22:25] (was unlabled) [22:25] What program can i use to automically accept files from another computer over FTP ? [22:25] Seveas, how should i troubleshoot this issue? [22:25] this computer is using ubuntu 10.04 [22:27] vintner, check the output of dmesg and the logfiles in /var/log for clues [22:27] is there another OS on the computer? If so, does networking work with it? [22:27] If not, try replacing the cable [22:27] no i formatted it [22:27] Seveas, found it, and loading up. My understanding is you want me to go into the try mode and install an IRC client and get back to here [22:28] parindra, yes [22:28] wow, what exactly am i looking for in dmesg? [22:28] vintner, something not too far from the bottom that whines about network errors [22:30] does oracle work with ubuntu 10.04 === fernando is now known as Guest6276 [22:30] i have eth0 link up, 100 mbps, full duplex, lpa 0xCDE1, eth0: link becomes ready, eth0 no IPv6 routers present, eth0 link down [22:30] psycho789, there's no reason for it not o [22:30] to* [22:30] vintner: ok, is that a problem ? === gnome is now known as lawford [22:30] hell i have no idea lol [22:30] vintner, sounds like loose cable [22:30] ikonia, yes it is :) [22:31] hola [22:31] seveas, okay i had a problem installing and had read somewhere that it wasn't compatible on 10.04. probably something else though [22:31] ok let me do some hardware checking. thanks seveas [22:31] Seveas: only if he's using ipv6 [22:31] ikonia, no, he's pasting a few lines in one line [22:31] Seveas: there are some issues with later glibc and Oracle 10 and 11 [22:31] Seveas: ahhhh [22:31] link down is ethernet. Well below ip :) [22:32] Seveas: sorry to be an annoyance, but even with -i key, as soon as I close my ssh session even with a screen session running in the background, my ssh connects stop working and when I reattach to the screen session I see a password prompt [22:32] Seveas: I see what you're saying [22:32] yeah, sorry those were 4 different lines [22:33] ola alguem pode por favor, alguem fera em ubuntu a configurar minha rede wireless? [22:33] !pt | igor__ [22:33] alguem me ajude por favor [22:33] igor__: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [22:33] macro, I suggest you start reading the ssh and ssh-agent manpage and the output of ssh -vvv (when it breaks and when it doesn't). Find the difference betweent he two outputs and look for clues in the manpage [22:33] Seveas: ? [22:33] hey, if I want to distribute a package I maintain, how do I set up apache to do that? [22:34] Seveas: sorry, that wasn't meant for you, irrsi went nuts [22:34] heh [22:34] fooey: what type of package [22:34] it's a apache2 package of http://www.rapache.net [22:34] !de [22:34] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [22:34] fooey: what format have you put the package in [22:35] it's in .deb for i386 and only for lucid and hardy at the moment [22:35] hey guys, anyone know anything about this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560230 [22:35] fooey: did you build the package ? [22:35] fooey, those are served as regular files, no special apache setup needed [22:35] yes, sorry, it's a binary [22:36] it's not a deb, it's binary then ? [22:36] it's a binary debian package [22:36] well, I guess by default it's binary [22:36] fooey: and you built it ? [22:36] yes. [22:36] this computer is using ubuntu 10.04 [22:37] What program can i use to automically accept files from another computer over FTP ? [22:37] I'd like to provide a sources.list entry so that folks can apt-get [22:37] fooey: you have a ton of options, as Seveas just said, just serve it as a file, setup a debian style repo, look at hosting it on launchpad.net as a PPA archive, or consider going through the package maintainer process for debian/ubuntu and get it in their repos [22:37] bluezone, vsftpd or pureftpd [22:37] fooey: then you'd need a debian repo setup for that [22:37] hi all. couldn't find the command from manual of apt-get on how to install manually downloaded .deb files ? [22:37] fooey: or use launchpad.net's PPA service [22:38] ezy: what do you want to download [22:38] hmm ppa service... [22:38] minimec: well.. after a pot of coffee, some trial and error, a bit of homework and 10 builds later. i am back. with halfway decent wifi reliability too. [22:38] kay [22:38] fooey, easiest solution is to use a PPA. That way you can get it built for all architectures and releases [22:38] gartral, I call that progress :) [22:38] exit [22:38] k, I'll look into that. Thanks guys. [22:38] ezy: doubleclicking the .deb file should do the trick :) [22:38] is there a highly technical channel for ubuntu possibly with maintainers/developers? [22:38] ikonia, I downloaded the .deb file but couldnt find the terminal command for installing it :-( [22:38] ezy: which package ? [22:38] utkanos, you can ask questions in here [22:39] ezy #dpkg -i package.deb as root [22:39] Seveas, i have, no one was able to help [22:39] bindi, trying to stay away from GUI as much as I can to understand linux better [22:39] utkanos, try again [22:39] i need to talk to someone who maintains the mkinitramfs package [22:39] Seveas: well.. lets just say that i have signal.. but no F****** clue what ap i'm connecting through [22:39] gartral: KUdos ;) [22:39] gartral: control your language please [22:39] ikonia, its called radio tray. a nice application :-) [22:39] gartral, iwconfig should tell you :) [22:39] ezy: dpkg is what you need, but make sure it's not in the ubuntu repo's [22:40] ezy, yeah, that's real cool :) [22:40] Seveas: what's the command? [22:40] seveas: vsftpd, does that start up automatically when i boot ubuntu? [22:40] gartral, iwconfig [22:40] bluezone, yes [22:40] k [22:40] [22:40] Seveas, it seems that update-initramfs/mkinitramfs are not working properly and I cannot figure out why on this particular build [22:40] utkanos: what build [22:40] ikonia, ubuntu 10.04 [22:41] utkanos: working fine here - want to explain the issue ? [22:41] utkanos, what's not working properly? What is the error you get? [22:41] trying to create an initrd image does not work, there is no error [22:41] define does not work then [22:41] the pid just gets orphaned and does absolutely nothing [22:41] Seveas: eth1 IEEE 802.11 Access Point: Not-Associated [22:41] ie it doesnt make my initrd? [22:41] bindi, ikonia lepra- Seveas thanks a lot good folks. I will use that dpkg command. will come back if I encounter any problems :-) [22:41] Seveas: yet.. here i am [22:41] Seveas, ok I am on [22:41] i can see it in the process table, it just dumps me back to a shell, the command has no effect [22:41] Seveas, on the broken laptop [22:41] gartral, you're a ghost :) [22:42] parindra_broken, excellent. Do you mind if I pm you? Makes it a bit easier to follow [22:42] haha [22:42] utkanos: when you drop back the shell, what happens to the process ID [22:42] Seveas: it's weird.. this wifi card comes up as a ethernet controller.. and not wlan [22:42] please do [22:42] ikonia, it stays in the process table indefinitely, forever, and goes nowhere [22:42] utkanos: can you truss that process ID ? [22:42] it also destroys apt since dpkg is running [22:42] Sorry guys for chat ubuntu it???

I need a ...Lets say self - destruct switch..If I enter a code...or something of that nature ...Or click a button my entire computer is wiped..Any help? [22:46] utkanos: is it with 1 kernel package, or everyone you've done [22:46] i can get past this error for every other software that is downloaded via apt by changing the update-initramfs parameter to no in /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf [22:46] why does 10.10 install Java, but 10.04 don't have Java installed by default? [22:46] utkanos, this may sound unrelated but have you installed the canonical-census package lately? [22:46] ikonia, this happens on EVERY package unless that update-initramfs parameter is seto to no [22:46] minimec: and it seems to pass of to other aps periodically [22:46] Isonyx: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/your_disk [22:46] gartral: iwcofig should give you the eesid you are using. That should give you an idea where you are connected. [22:46] utkanos: so every kernel package you've installed has had this problem [22:46] Whats dd? [22:46] Isonyx: a command [22:47] Whats the function? [22:47] ikonia, yes, unless i set that parameter to no [22:47] utkanos, there's a strange initramfs bug that has something to do with canonical-census. I had problems earlier and resolved them by removing it [22:47] Sorry, I'm very new to Linux. [22:47] feodor, interesting, i dont recall that package [22:47] let me try that. [22:47] helo [22:47] wow... apparently 'the ubuntu team' went out of its way to patch rhythmbox, replacing the usable panel applet plugin with the worthless one in lucid... [22:47] utkanos: ok - have you tried this on a clean install also, ( a re-install since) [22:47] utkanos, have you tried reinstalling initramfs tools? [22:47] minimec: may i pm you? [22:47] ikonia, trying to not do that if I can [22:47] Isonyx: it's function is a block copy that will wipe your disk as you asked [22:47] feodor, yes reinstalled initramfs-tools [22:48] the good news is that the old plugin can still be installed manually [22:48] utkanos: ok, only asking as so many people are working fine, I wondered if you install may have an issue [22:48] noo reinstal no problen [22:48] utkanos, did this happen after installing new packages or what? [22:48] Hi all, does anyone know where the package recode-library is? [22:48] gartral: You may... [22:48] do not problem [22:48] How bout a password verification? [22:48] feodor, just randomly happened [22:48] Isonyx: what about it ? [22:48] I need one.. [22:48] Isonyx: why, you just asked for your disk to be wiped, I just gave you the command [22:48] If the password is correct then self destruct. [22:49] Seveas: for vsftpd i couldnt find any help documentation... whats the default user and pass and host name [22:49] Isonyx: only you can do that anyway as you will need to use sudo [22:49] Whats the command? [22:49] bluezone: it auths of system accounts by default [22:49] utkanos, here's something to check. first, do you have a separate /boot partition? [22:49] feodor, what is the name of that package? canonical-census? [22:49] if so, it could be out of space [22:49] Isonyx: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [22:49] utkanos, yeah [22:49] feodor, no its part of / and its got plenty of space [22:49] Isonyx: assuming /dev/sda is your disk [22:50] feodor, i get an error saying package not found [22:50] okay nevermind that then [22:50] ikonia: ftp.(computername) or something? [22:50] so there's absolutely no output from update-initramfs ? [22:50] bluezone: ???? [22:50] bluezone: what are you asking [22:50] ikonia: i didnt understand what you ment [22:50] hello [22:50] feodor, it says that its updating my current initrd [22:50] ikonia: how do i connect to it from another computer === Guest58787 is now known as LjL [22:50] but it will not create a new one [22:50] then what? [22:51] bluezone: to login via ftp you use your standard username and password [22:51] Second question - I need to make it so when I click a shortcut or command..Or something or other that once Clicked. Hides a partition..Like Truecrypt, [22:51] so it just hangs on the update utkanos ? [22:51] bluezone: ftp to your hostname or ip address [22:51] feodor, yes [22:51] it just sits there indefintiely [22:51] Isonyx: why do you want this ? [22:51] utkanos, how long have you left it running? [22:51] are your file permissions for /boot correct? [22:51] ikonia: yeah thats what im asking though, what are the defualt passowrds [22:51] default* [22:51] seveas, if youre still here, now i get the same messages but one additional line now that says eth0: link up, 100mbps, full duplex at the end of dmesg [22:51] Its...Complicated. [22:51] feodor, hours and hours [22:51] feodor, yes, /boot is fine [22:52] bluezone: the default password is YOUR username and password [22:52] thats the first place i tried [22:52] yet still no lan [22:52] oh [22:52] also, did you try manually removing any other initrd files from /boot? [22:52] Isonyx: then I can't answer [22:52] Why is that? [22:52] this technically isn't ubuntu, its kde, but im deseperate because I have no mouse and kde isn't answering.. [22:52] Isonyx: because I don't understand your overall goal or reasoning [22:52] i was just doing something, and suddenly my cursor is stuck in "copy" mode (the green + with a piece of paper) and wont come out of it. I can't click on anything, but Ihave to try and navigate via the keyboard [22:52] feodor, may I pm? [22:52] ok [22:52] fireflylight: i don't see anything of that description, only librecode0. "apt-cache search --names-only recode" [22:53] Mmm...How bout....I need to secure my computer against certain people. I need a self destruct switch and I need something to hide Data. [22:53] Isonyx: ok, then you don't need a self destruct switch, or to hide partitions [22:53] Isonyx: you just need to secure your machine [22:54] thune3 i installed all that, yet the compile still complains its missing [22:54] Hey, trying to uninstall my wireless drivers "driver=rtl819xSE". Could anyone guide me as far as completely removing those drivers off my system ? [22:54] Hey guys [22:54] Thats part of it...When I say secure...I mean...I may need to hide partitions or just kill the whole thing in seconds..And not becomes of network hacking. Something more direct and personal. [22:54] Is it possible to create a .deb file from a package you've already installed on your computer via the package manager? [22:54] Isonyx: you really don't need to do that [22:54] Isonyx: you need to just secure your data [22:54] Trust me..I really do. [22:55] Isonyx: then you need to take out the disk and smash it with a hammer [22:55] Im trying to run Ubuntu (Lucid x86) in a VirtualBox VM (3.2.8) and the screen resolution wont go any higher than 800x600 [22:55] Isonyx: use dm-crypt to encrypt everything except /boot, or encrypt your home directory [22:55] Isonyx: that is the only way === ubuntu__ is now known as rabies [22:55] fireflylight: for compile i assume you need librecode-dev [22:55] Isonyx: I suggest buying a hot swap disk caddy, and smash the disk to bits when you need to [22:55] ...I need a quicker better way. [22:55] Does anyone know how to increase that resolution --- I installed the VBox guest additions and no go... [22:55] Smashing takes to long. I need a button click and a password. [22:55] Isonyx: nothing quicker than that, and nothing better if you want security in seconds [22:55] Isonyx: smashing it will take seconds === lolcat93 is now known as energy === energy is now known as lolcat93 [22:57] Any recommendations for a military level boot encryption? === root is now known as Guest30069 [22:57] i cannot get lan to work. when i dmesg, i get these 5 lines. eth0 link up, 100 mbps, full duplex, eth0 link becomes ready, eth0 no IPv6 routers present, eth0 link down, eth0 link up, 100 mbps, full duplex. any ideas? [22:58] thune3 yep install and that seemed to work, thanx for that :) [22:58] Isonyx: http://www.truecrypt.org/ [22:58] Isonyx: the install routine offers encyption, which is more than acceptble [22:58] acceptable [22:58] Alright Great. Any other security measures I can take? [22:58] Also..I need video motion sensory monitoring. Any idea how? [22:58] Isonyx: no you don't [22:59] ..Yes...I do. [22:59] Isonyx: if you did need that, you'd know what you where talking about and understand the hardwre options [22:59] Is it possible to create a .deb file from a package you've already installed on your computer via the package manager? [22:59] Isonyx: unless you start explaining what your situation is, we can't help you [22:59] evon: not really [23:00] anwyway to invoke a text installer via install cd? the damn thing is not liking the Radeon card? [23:00] Situation. People are looking for me..I have sensitive Data files that arent all mine. I need to not only secure them but keep my computer monitored during the time i'll be gone.. [23:00] I just died xD [23:00] a1fa, you need the Alternate CD for text install [23:00] Isonyx: use dm-crypt, and turn the machine off. [23:00] Isonyx: then you need to employ a security specialist rather than talking to random IRC users [23:01] Mmm, maybe you're right. [23:01] Isonyx: if the situation is that serious, IRC is not the best medium as we can see your IP/ISP details [23:01] dude [23:01] that sucks [23:01] I waited 1h to download the damn cd [23:01] i need to know whats the deal with this Radeon card [23:02] i bet its not going to work once you install anyway [23:02] ATI cards have questionible support depending on their model and the support of the drivers shipping ubuntu 10.04 [23:02] ATi cards just suck period [23:02] I've just added an inet6 stanza to my /etc/network/interfaces. Is there a way to bring up the interface's inet6 address without bringing down the interface (a la /etc/init.d/networking restart) ? [23:02] they have sucked ever since they were released [23:03] a1fa: a modeset kernel parameter at boot might help [23:04] i cannot get lan to work. when i dmesg, i get these 5 lines. eth0 link up, 100 mbps, full duplex, eth0 link becomes ready, eth0 no IPv6 routers present, eth0 link down, eth0 link up, 100 mbps, full duplex. any ideas? === _ng is now known as _NG [23:06] How do I go about making an application launcher?
