[00:00] Hi all [00:00] troy, have you tried using a different player? vlc or mplayer perhaps? [00:00] troy [00:00] yes [00:00] type sudo apt-get install totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 [00:00] sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [00:00] both of those lines in your command prompt [00:00] it also does the same thing when i try to rip a dvd with DVD::RIP [00:01] how do I uninstall notepad that came by default with wine? It's not listed under installed applications on Wine [00:01] those should be a quick fix [00:01] troy, actually one at a time or place a double && in between each command [00:01] yeah, sorry, i meant that one at a time, whoops [00:02] whoAteMyBacon_, :) [00:02] libxine1-ffmpeg is already the newest version. [00:02] libxine1-ffmpeg set to manually installed. [00:02] I bought pentium 3 fujitsu scenic andd running [00:02] E: Couldn't find package libdvdread3 [00:02] libxine1-ffmpeg is already the newest version. [00:02] * whoAteMyBacon_ is a tard [00:02] troy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:02] libxine1-ffmpeg set to manually installed. [00:02] I have a weird audio problem in ubuntu [00:02] E: Couldn't find package libdvdread3 [00:02] troy, dont worry about the libdvdread [00:02] Excuse me, how do I register an account on here? [00:02] troy, the command with the install sh will fix that [00:02] eduardo_, an account or a nick [00:03] whoAteMyBacon_, troy the package name is libdvdread4 - but that's just install libcss2 from medibuntu [00:03] sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh: command not found [00:03] A nick. [00:03] !register | eduardo_ [00:03] eduardo_: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [00:03] eduardo_, /msg nickserv help [00:03] Thank you. [00:03] how do I uninstall notepad that came by default with wine? It's not listed under installed applications on Wine [00:03] I have installed medibuntu whoAteMybacon [00:03] blazer1980, my "guess" is that notepad is part of wine [00:04] blazer1980, open your home directory hit ctrl+h and look for a .wine folder or some such directory [00:04] blazer1980, it should be listed under the .wine folder / programs etc [00:04] blazer1980, last time I installed wine I was curious why that is a default install myself :) [00:05] coz_ thanks, it was really inconvenient since i use gedit [00:05] did you locate it? [00:05] Filezilla on a remote desktop is giving me permission errors when i try to upload files to this computer. HOW do i change THESE PERMISSIONS [00:06] i just installed ubuntu 10.04. I would like to know how to open a new IM message just using the keyboard. I despise having to click on the envelope icon, and then select the name of the person who sent the IM. [00:06] basically, how can I assign a keyboard shortcut to open new IMs [00:06] I bought fujitsu scenic pentium 3 800 mhz ,10 euros ,and running xubuntu 10.04 lts : ) [00:06] tab maybe andresmh [00:06] or to bring an existing IM window to the foreground [00:06] with what program, empathy? [00:06] anselmi: awesome :) to euros well spent [00:07] *10 [00:07] bluezone, the default program that comes with 10.04, I believe it is empathy [00:07] personally, I just leave anything IM related on a seperate workspace and switching to it. [00:07] I don't see the notepad under .wine/drive_c/Program Files [00:07] I'll try the changes with another DVD, however I think that I have already done these things. Thanks. [00:07] it's under .wine\drive_c\windows\notepad.exe [00:07] anresmh: not sure :P [00:08] salut [00:08] Filezilla on a remote desktop is giving me permission errors when i try to upload files to this computer. HOW do i change change these permissions [00:08] SGHi7, so then you have all your IMs in one window and then you have to do alt+tab to get to the window and then switch tabs within that window until you reach the one for the new message? [00:08] these permissions on the folder [00:08] SGHi7, thanks I found it [00:09] np. bluezone, I do ctrl+alt+tabo to move over and just leave the IM open all the time. [00:09] wrong guy [00:09] hey guys, google's been no luck on this, has anyone had any success in getting 1080i output from the intel driver? [00:09] hello [00:09] !hit [00:09] !hi [00:09] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay!

[00:11] i got close to making it work by using xrandr and setting the rez to 1920x540 [00:12] !xampp | oussama [00:12] oussama: We do not support XAMPP installs here.

[00:15] I;m able to get it to output 1080i, but it's all funky and squished [00:15] itsux2bu: yes [00:15] just change the destination filename to what you want [00:15] ok === eduardo_ is now known as ShinyDarkness [00:17] so i can use diff to tell the differences between two files. how can i look at two directories and tell the differences of every file that's named the same? [00:18] ariel_g, there is a small application named meld I use it in frequently but I believe it does all of that....google meld and check out the documentation [00:18] coz_ thanks [00:19] ariel_g: diff directory1 directory2 [00:19] jordan_u: thanks! yeah, that works [00:19] ariel_g, no problem... i would check out the documentation first but it is a small non irritating applications so installing it wont bother anything [00:20] ariel_g: You're welcome. [00:21] how do i write a script to toggle between 'sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled' and 'sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled /etc/init/gdm.conf'.. maybe call the script tog-gdm ? [00:22] nisstyre65 im still having problems [00:22] now it says failed to recieve directory listing on filezilla [00:22] cant even open the folder [00:23] gutt [00:23] mt [00:27] i get asked for default keyring password at startup ... i have found a post on the net about disabling this but my question is this ,,,, is there some disadvantage in disabling it because even though it's annoying it must have some purpose ? [00:28] where do i put scripts i create? [00:28] itsux2bu: in a place like $HOME/bin and then add that to your $PATH [00:29] itsux2bu: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin [00:29] itsux2bu: make sure to chmod +x filename [00:29] i've found people with the same issue but no help... [00:30] how do i see what my current $PATH is? [00:30] hiku, itsux2bu: on ubuntu ~/bin will automatically be in your path if it exists when you login [00:30] itsux2bu: env | grep PATH [00:30] Can anyone tell me my /etc/Xession.d script isn't working? http://dpaste.com/233514/ [00:30] itsux2bu: why are you disabling gdm that way...? [00:30] jrib: oh nice... good to know [00:30] hiku: yeah it just has what you said inside an if clause in ~/.profile by default :P [00:31] jrib: ah ok. yea I'm old school, rather diy... =) [00:31] if there a " if filename exist then do this.. " in *nix scripts? [00:31] itsux2bu: I have a guess as to why you want this script and if you disable gdm the way I told you to a few hours ago, you would have no need for it [00:32] Using Ubuntu Studio 10.4, wicd, WPA/AES, and getting a wrong password. I have verified that the passkey for encryption is correct. Is it talking about a different password? [00:32] itsux2bu: of course [00:32] which method did you tell me? [00:32] jrib [00:32] itsux2bu: add "never" as a condition for it to start [00:32] itsux2bu: why do you want this script? [00:32] which cli command removes a directory [00:33] !cli > bluezone [00:33] bluezone, please see my private message [00:33] add never to where? i couldn't find where to add it [00:33] itsux2bu: did you open the file? [00:33] which file again? [00:33] itsux2bu: the one you want to write a script about... [00:33] jordan_u: so that worked for only one level...can i do it recursively? [00:34] Can anyone tell me my /etc/Xession.d script isn't working? http://dpaste.com/233514/ [00:34] gdm.conf [00:34] itsux2bu: yes, did you open it and read it? [00:34] yes [00:35] etherealite: maybe it needs the '-'? idk [00:35] Anyone recommend some good games for Ubuntu? [00:35] itsux2bu: good. And what did I say to do? [00:36] Ohhh i am so close to just deleting windows and giving ubuntu the whole drive [00:36] jrib thanx, i think thats pretty unlikely given the other files that don't have it. [00:36] something about never [00:36] etherealite: all the x11 files have, anyway that's what I would try first... [00:36] i must have missed something [00:37] The more I learn about Linux and Ubuntu the more I wonder why even bother with windhoes [00:37] itsux2bu: I said to add "never" as a condition for gdm to start. Do you see anything about conditions for gdm to start in that file? [00:37] ariel_g: diff -r [00:38] I need some help getting a canon iP2600 printer to work with Ubuntu. I have downloaded two drivers, and installed them, and still nothing. [00:38] eh, f-it [00:38] plan b [00:38] anyone know an easy way to make x underscan? [00:38] yes.. there are if statements [00:38] detrix is the printer on?? [00:38] Tempus_Fugit, ;) yes [00:38] <^james_foo^> Q: my external monitor doesn't seem to show up (with xrandr or in gnome-display-properties) when it wasn't connected on boot. any way to retrigger detection? ('detect' in g-d-p doesn't) [00:39] detrix sorry had to ask?? [00:39] is there any way to enable GUI sudo (gui advanced permissions, so i can create folders by right clicking) [00:39] etherealite: ah, read "man Xsession" for how the files need to be named [00:39] jrib, sry.. but i need more [00:39] itsux2bu: do you see the part that says "start on ..."? [00:39] jordan_u: thanks again. now i just feel stupid :) [00:39] yes [00:39] does ubuntu have a "program files" equivalent ... trying to make a file run on startup [00:39] how do i pimp out my login screen and make it look better and not so boring [00:39] ariel_g: You're welcome :) [00:40] itsux2bu: and you see a bunch of conditions, one on each line, separated by the word "and"? [00:40] yes [00:40] !startup | RainRain [00:40] RainRain: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [00:40] jrib excellent good man sir. [00:40] RainRain: does that answer your question, or did you mean something else? [00:41] !who | itsux2bu [00:41] itsux2bu: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:41] jrib: thanks no i found where to add them but i cant find the files themselves using browse [00:41] itsux2bu: then do what I said: add "never" as a condition for gdm to start. If you pastebin when you are done, I will check your file [00:41] jrib, yes [00:41] RainRain: usually in /usr/bin/ [00:41] Will be here in the corner fiddling with settings and such pm me if anyone wants..I just got the chat working configured to al my chats so now I can be on here all the time yayyyyy!! [00:42] jrib, so add 'and never' ? [00:42] itsux2bu: this way you can still use the "service", "start" commands and friends [00:42] itsux2bu: I added "never and", but whatever y ou want [00:42] jrib: that's the ticket ... thanks [00:43] :-D [00:44] hey if someone PM's me will empathy ding or anything to let me know? [00:45] Tempus_Fugit: does it? [00:45] ok.. so to start it up.. service start gdm ? [00:45] itsux2bu: service gdm start [00:45] jrib yes it does [00:45] itsux2bu: or just: start gdm [00:47] hi...I'm using nvidia settings to configure my screen, and dispite the max resolution is 1680x1050, it only detects 1360x768 [00:47] finally on my way to getting everything configured the way I want it.....does anyone know why my screenlets wont stay put after reboot??

[00:52] well thats two questions in a minute... thats low [00:53] cih: yep ;) [00:53] detrix: have you installed both drivers at the same time? [00:53] maybe they are conflicting [00:54] I installed the common one first, then the specific one. [00:54] Instructions say the common one gets installed first, then install a second more specific one [00:55] ok... back to step 1. Filezilla is giving me permission denied errors when i try to upload files to this computer from a remote desktop windows xp computer VIA FTP. the folder is /srv/... how can i fix this error, (how can i change the permissions, the proper command this time please) [00:55] ok well if you followed the instructions properly then i dunno wait around maybe someone else can heko [00:55] bluezone: look into chmod [00:55] i did :( it not working [00:55] its* [00:56] hey, does anyone know if a virtual display works in reverse?

[01:16] lol okay [01:16] justakill: Just have patience... [01:16] Agu10: try synergy [01:16] !Grub2 | Azjo [01:16] Azjo: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [01:16] don't worry i am [01:16] hello all, I'm trying to set up a multiboot usb stick as well as partitioning. The stick is a JetFlash 32GB and I only need about 12GB dedicated to the boot partition so I figured I could partition it,, which in windows is a no go since it will only read the first partition. so I wanted to make the first partition approx 20GB FAT32 for general file storage and the second 12GB for bootable ISO's this way I can acces [01:16] s my files on windows/linux no problem and still boot if I need to. Now my issue is the utility that I am using is windows only http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/ any know of a linux utility [01:17] Code_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:17] ubottu, there is no GUI for grub? [01:17] and i appreciate all help i get on this channel [01:17] jrib, is never have a defination? [01:17] *does never [01:17] itsux2bu: what? [01:17] ah it was just a bot.. useless [01:17] is there a gui for grub ? [01:18] Hi guys, [01:18] itsux2bu: never is an event that never occurs I guess [01:18] TheLimeRunner: Hi, need help? === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:18] Azjo: no gui, use that guide [01:18] will the network address of a printer differ from that of the computer it is attached to? [01:18] Code_, i was looking for that solution, i didn't find one other than going on to a windows computer. You can load grub2 and somehow add iso's to directly boot from grub but i couldn't do it [01:18] jrib, so its some kind of of internal OS constant [01:18] can I use synergy with ultraVNC ? [01:18] or any vnc [01:19] hello does anybody know how to install .deb tar.gz etc. in puppy linux 5.1? [01:19] zkriesse Nope, just joining the usuals. [01:19] tman_: that's a compressed file [01:19] tman_, you need build essentials but this is ubuntu only help. go ask in ##linux [01:19] i have ubuntu 10.04.. where it is already installed.. [01:20] and its NOT starting up at bootup [01:20] because i chose not to [01:20] Agu10: should be no need for VNC with synergy [01:20] ok sorry for my somewhat dumb question. [01:20] that guide isnt telling me how to make it.. start [01:20] tgrundle: :( [01:20] tman_, never dumb questions, just dumb answers [01:20] Azjo: If you're going to talk just to talk please join #ubuntu-offtopic === andrew_ is now known as Guest92234 [01:20] Out_Cold, ty [01:20] im explaining my problem? [01:20] itsux2bu: well it's an event recognized by upstart... [01:21] Code_, try google'n 'grub2 multiple iso' or something [01:22] that popup with grub when u install ubuntu.. how do i trigger that one? [01:22] restore my deleted panel? [01:22] Code_, that windows program i tried loading through wine but there are a lot of libraries missing [01:22] join /ubuntu-uy [01:22] !panels | ahmed_ [01:22] ahmed_: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:22] Out_Cold, ya I'll give it a go [01:22] Out_Cold, you can try putting the relevant libraries in the same folder [01:22] !panels | ahmed_ [01:22] will the network address of a printer differ from that of the computer it is attached to and shared from? [01:22] Azjo, ya, but in my case it was easier to go to a windows computer [01:23] hehe, that one works too ;) [01:23] Agu10: vnc allows you to remote it, synergy will allow you to treat your desktop l like a second monitor, is that what you want? === sshc_ is now known as sshc [01:23] so there is no relatively simple way to make grub work? [01:23] !resetpanels | ahmed_ [01:23] ahmed_: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:23] Azjo, did you read the grub manual? [01:23] Hi there, I had some advice about 10 minutes ago, and it didn't work [01:24] troy, restate your problem and try something else [01:24] i have to read all that just to find out how to pop up the thingy that ubuntu install pops up? [01:24] ... i have to admit im NOT a linux guy === name_ is now known as Guest37100 === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [01:25] Azjo, browse through it.. nearly all linux problems/solutions/questions are documented somewhere... [01:25] When I playback DVD, my laptop freezes. It does this on any player, and even does this when I rip a DVD with DVD::RIP. [01:25] when in a tty and initiating an init -- :1 it starts a new X session in a different tty.. except I can't find it. TTY8 has a small white window in the upper left corner of the screen but won't accept input.. Any ideas? [01:25] Here is what I was told to do last time: [01:25] ok... back to step 1. Filezilla is giving me permission denied errors when i try to upload files to this computer from a remote desktop windows xp computer VIA FTP. the folder is /srv/... how can i fix this error, (how can i change the permissions, the proper command this time please) [01:25] sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [01:25] ive tired chmod +rw (directory name) [01:25] even though I mentioned that I had already done that [01:25] azjo: grub2 can't be much easier just install it and it's done. if you have grub legacy just install grub2 [01:26] and I was told to try this: sudo apt-get install totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 [01:26] troy: what do you mean by freezes up, you mean total crash? [01:26] sacarlson, its not at bootup though? at the install i chose to not use it or whatever [01:27] About 10-20 minutes into the DVD, the screen freezes. If there is sound, the sound just freezes as well. The only option is to turn off the laptop [01:27] tgrundle: yes. it's just that I wanted to use VNC as the client on the computer that's being controlled. so I would just have to install synergy on the computer with the mouse and keyboard [01:27] will the network address of a printer differ from that of the computer it is attached to and shared from? i have searched for the address the computer is shared on with zero results. [01:27] azjo: to modify it there is a gui to change the default to start [01:27] With DVD:RIP, always at about 35%, the screen does the same thing [01:27] ... i did just try to reinstall grub, and it actually works now.. neat. i still cant believe there is no GUI though. [01:28] The laptop is brand new, using Ubuntu 10.04, updated. I've used ubuntu for many years, and have never had this problem [01:28] Azjo: well if you want to complicated things by not using it I guess things would be hard [01:28] azjo: I told you there is a gui for it. [01:29] Azjo, the gui starts after grub runs its course.. it doesn't have much use for gui. [01:29] I assume that the problem is to do with drivers? [01:29] troy: libdvdread3 is only available from the medibuntu repos.. [01:29] Yes, I have installed the medibuntu keys [01:29] azjo: called startup-manager System>administration>startup-manager [01:29] i looked for that.. [01:29] so i built a machine, put it all together, and fired it up, and it runs... impossibly slowly [01:30] how to get cpu temp applet [01:30] even the CMOS/BIOS setup is slow, takes several seconds to respond to keystrokes [01:30] any ideas as to what would cause this? [01:30] in 10.04, is udevd supposed to only work with modules? i have two scsi disks in a KVM VM that are not found by udev, udevadm trigger doesn't seem to parse the block devices at all. there's no instance of sda or sdb in the udevd --debug output [01:30] yet dmesg clearly shows that there's an sda and sdb device [01:30] troy: you are certian that this is related to playing dvd only? [01:30] azjo: if you want to use it you will have to install the gui with apt-get install startupmanager [01:31] will the network address of a printer differ from that of the computer it is attached to and shared from? i have searched for the address the computer is shared on with zero results. [01:31] Yes, I'm pretty sure thune3. I'm not sure what else it could be related to [01:31] Azjo: sudo apt-get install startupmanager [01:31] Oer: you on? i ran memtest to completion, no errors, im out of ideas [01:31] aha [01:31] What command enables me to give read and write permissions for a cerstain directory. I'm need of the specific working command at this point because all ftp clients im using right now give me permission denied errors. [01:31] I've never had this problem before, until I bought a brand new laptop [01:32] hey guys [01:32] Hey Marikos_ [01:32] lol [01:33] bluezone: that would be the command chmod try man chmod [01:33] Agu10: k, synergy would need to be installed on both sides. it a little inconvenient to get started, but i find it worth it [01:33] question: trying to get x to output 1280x720, which it'sdoing and present a smaller window to gnome [01:33] effectively drawing a border around the desktop [01:34] sacarlson, i know it has to do with chmod but i cant seem to find a readand write command in chmod --help OR in man chmod [01:34] this is the xorg.conf i'm messing with [01:34] http://pastebin.com/pWhfQGKG [01:35] Marikos_: I guess you could add more panels around you window? [01:35] to start a gnome session using remote x you use gnome-session.. what do you use for kde? kde-session? [01:35] bluezone: chmod +r +w /the/path/to/your/directory [01:36] sacarlson its the same as chmod +rw right? [01:36] synergy+ runs at startup? [01:36] sacarlson: that's really kludgy [01:36] already tried it [01:36] bluezone: yes [01:36] already tried :( [01:36] I'm going to test copying a non-encrypted dvd to narrow down the cause of the dvd encryption [01:36] troy: even though unlikely, i would look through /var/log/syslog to see you see any suspicious error messages that preceed each boot. [01:36] Izinucs you want to use kde instead of gnome? [01:36] bluezone: what user and group do you want to access it? look at chown man chown [01:37] ok thune3, thanks, i'll try that too [01:37] anyone know anything about udev rules? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9760997#post9760997 [01:37] bluezone: I'm on a gnome laptop and I want to ssh into my kubuntu desktop and run it remote [01:38] bluezone: without vnc/rdp/etc [01:38] will the network address of a printer differ from that of the computer it is attached to and shared from? i have searched for the address the computer is shared on with zero results. [01:38] humm [01:38] vintner: a network printer isn't attached to a computer.. if it's shared via usb on a machine that's a little different [01:38] troy: i assume you got all updates after installing [01:38] izinucs places connectToServer [01:39] maybe [01:39] :) [01:39] that is how its shared, via usb [01:39] Izinucs: you need to install ssh on the remote side you want to connect sudo apt-get install ssh [01:39] ok.. i disabled screen blanking in the desktop, but the terminals still blank out.. i found this to turn off screen blanking.. in my googling i found this: setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 and in server ubuntu i put it in /etc/rc.local and it works.. but if i do that with ubuntu desktop.. the terminal screens still blank.. [01:39] thanks for the response, btw [01:39] bluezone: no.. you're missing what I'm trying to do.. [01:39] thune3- I can't see anything suspicious [01:39] starting compiz i get "compiz (core) - Fatal: No composite extension" [01:39] thune3- yes, everything is updated [01:40] how may i fix this? [01:40] Izinucs, humm ok i got it now... i think you would have to get some sort of program for it, tbh i just use vnc [01:40] sacarlson: I've no issues connecting with ssh.. I'm looking for the command to start a kde session.. something like krfb or kde-session [01:40] bluezone: nope.. not necessary.. remote X will do it. [01:41] Izinucs even from a windows xp remote desktop lol? [01:41] Izinucs: you want the x application to run on the remote side or the client side? ssh -X I think [01:41] bluezone: yes running in a ssh session. [01:42] Izinucs: oh ssh isn't connecting? is the remote on the internet or local? [01:42] thune3- is there any way to check whether the dependencies are in order with having encrypted DVD playback drivers? [01:42] sacarlson: you're right there! that's part of it.. but it only gives cli.. I want to start a full graphical remote session over X with no vnc/rdp etc [01:42] why would my usb speed drop from an average 4-6Mbps to 700kbps with dd?? using a bs=16384 [01:43] Izinucs: then what I said the first time ssh -x will open the application on the client side [01:43] Out_Cold: because dd bypasses dmi and the usb hispeed protocols [01:43] because there is a possibility that I installed the drivers in a wrong order? [01:43] gartral, i'm pretty sure i normally get 4-6Mbps [01:44] vintner, is the machine where the printer is connected using CUPS? You can check by going to a browser on that box and addressing http://localhost:631. If you get an error dialog, CUPS isn't running. If you get the CUPS home page, you can select the "printers" page from it and there, check off the "share" box for the printer. Then "save settings" and the first part of the job is done. [01:44] Izinucs: you just want one application on your client side correct? you might also have to enable the privliage on the server side [01:44] hey, anybody know bout X Server? i wanna restart it, but don't know how? [01:44] sacarlson: ssh -X starts a cli session capable of starting individual program.. I want to do that but run the full desktop [01:44] Izinucs: then vnc is the only option I know that will do that [01:44] ok.. i disabled screen blanking in the desktop, but the command line mode still blanks out.. in my googling i found this: setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 and it works in server ubuntu when i put it in /etc/rc.local.. BUT if i do that with ubuntu desktop.. the command line screens still blank.. any suggestions? [01:45] what manages the nice boot and shutdown screen in lucid? (the one with the white/orange dots and purple background) [01:45] troy: idk on that one. if it works for 20minutes you have everything installed. i doubt install order matters (but can't say definitively) [01:45] Izinucs: and ssh -X can start not only a cli application it can start an gui application on the client side [01:45] sacarlson: there are other ways :) [01:45] !X Server [01:46] hey, when i am trying to ssh in to an amazon ec2 instance of ubuntu it says "please login as ubuntu user rather than root user" [01:46] what should i be using as the user, instead of root [01:46] hmm, yeah I'm stumped on this one [01:46] Izinucs, do you know about x server? [01:46] sacarlson: yes.. you can ssh -X name@ipAddress [01:46] wizzle: just learning [01:46] Does anybody know the program Ubuntu uses for ATI config? (seeing if it's available on a distro a friend's using) [01:47] Izinucs: so you can have many ssh sessions and run many windows from your remote. [01:47] wizzle: ssh is no issue.. works fine.. initiating an "init -- :1" to get a new X running so I can start a second gui session is a little different [01:47] sacarlson: would chmod +rwxugo public_html [01:47] solve this damn problem lol [01:47] I'll try some more things, and if it doesn't work, i'll have to try a different OS [01:48] sacarlson: why bother when I can run the full desktop like I was sitting in front of it. :) [01:48] * CodeBlock waves to duckinator [01:48] tacomaster:playing .wma file in ubuntu how? [01:48] * duckinator _o/o_ CodeBlock [01:49] Izinucs: I guess you could just run startx or gdp? but I think it would take alot of local ethernet bandwidth. that's why they use vnc [01:49] * YankDownUnder is stumped as to why anyone would want to play a WMA instead of converting it to a proper format [01:49] Im a EE student, i use a mac book pro (running ubuntu) for all my school work. Also i have a DSN-323 that i use as a file server, i got a netbook as a gift and dont know what to do with it.... i dont want to sell it... Ideas? [01:49] sacarlson:how can i play .wma file in ubuntu [01:49] sacarlson: vnc has more overhead then running remote X.. google it some time.. you'll be glad you discovered something new. [01:49] Izinucs, surely i can't understand what u say. so, i just want to make it Off. any idea? [01:50] endhiran: install extras [01:50] SuperMiguel, many ideas [01:50] SuperMiguel, give it to me [01:50] Supermiguel you can eat it xD [01:50] SuperMiguel, test Google chrome OS on it perhaps [01:50] wizzle: you want to stop your gui? sudo service gdm stop [01:50] sacarlson:what extras ant plugins......you mean [01:50] endhiran, install ubuntu-restricted-extras => as well, you can just convert the WMA's mate. [01:50] hey does ubunt have a registry cleaner??? n im talking about for repairing windows...i know ubuntu doesnt have a registry but i use ubunt [01:51] endhiran: sudo apt-get install https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [01:51] to fix windows from boot flash drive [01:51] cannonfodder: check out the live cd called systemrescue cd [01:51] Izinucs, is it potential make my desktop broken or not? [01:51] sacarlson: i will try.......... [01:51] wizzle: no.. it just stops the desktop and puts you at a command line.. to start it again type sudo service gdm start [01:52] endhiran, Also check this out: http://www.miksoft.net/mobileMediaConverter.htm [01:52] Izinucs: so i can view my ubuntu remote desktop without vnc on windows xp? im anxious for this because vnc is slow, does this method have faster speeds? [01:52] bluezone, You can use RDP or VNC or anything similar. Even "LogMeIn" works. [01:52] bluezone: yes.. at least from what I understand you can.. using putty [01:53] j [01:53] is it faster? [01:53] than vnc === avis- is now known as avis === roman is now known as Guest93696 [01:53] bluezone: don't hold me to it though for xp access.. that's not anything that I've put a lot of time into reading. [01:53] Izinucs, oh god, that's terrible. i wont it. [01:53] oh [01:53] bluezone, All is dependent on how much data is being passed, mate. If you're using full blown graphics, full blown desktop sizes, yes, it's going to be slow. Dependent on connection and heaps of other things. [01:54] wizzle: then sudo service gdm start to make the gui come back [01:54] ive got a good connection, normal effects [01:54] i think vnc is the problem tbh... [01:54] m [01:54] Izinucs, so what exaclty X Server is? BOT is no idea bout it. [01:55] bluezone, If you keep the desktop you want to view/work with at a moderate level, then you'll do well. Bear in mind that viewing a linux based desktop is always going to be faster than viewing an MS Windows based desktop.

[02:20] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root [02:20] Dr_Willis:no....i mean to burn mp3 cd/dvd [02:20] bluezone: that's a protected directory.. you don't want ftp access directly to it. put the files someplace else then use putty to ssh into the server and move them. [02:21] bonhoffer: need to either change that (not recommended, may affect cron) or get that mysql root password out of there. [02:21] endhiran: You mean copy mp3 Files to a 'data' disk? any of the burning tools can do that. [02:21] could anyone please tell me what "disk caching" is?

I do it with 'k3b' and You will need to install the mp3 support lib for k3b.

[02:23] sacarlson no ill show you the output it gave me [02:23] endhiran: theres proberly other burning tools that can do it also. but i dont use them, [02:23] bluezone: that would be a vsftp setting and changing the permissions on your server for that directory.. I can't guide you there. [02:23] endhiran: Dr_Willis, doesn't brasero do the same thing? [02:23] Dr_Willis:ok........ [02:23] collabra: no idea. I use k3b because i like its interface. :) [02:24] Dr_Willis: I do too,... but that's because i use kubuntu :-) [02:24] collabra: no........it can burn only traditional audio cd [02:24] sacarlson : http://pastebin.com/PUjazZXP [02:24] i just installed ubuntu, are there any programs out there that i should install too?

[02:40] tazman1a: ubuntu 10.04 = Lucid Lynx [02:40] i still dont know why it did not work the first time out [02:40] tazman1a: lucid-desktop is the current standard ubuntu.. unless you're looking for the netbook version [02:41] PyjamaSpank: Before I continue explaining I should tell you that it's not necessary to know this to use Ubuntu / GRUB :) [02:41] tazman1a: you could download a normal ubuntu.iso and use wubi to install it.. or just install ubuntu-desktop after it installs thats the normal desktop. [02:41] I'm on the computer right now, so I think the keyboard is fine. I use a USB mouse and unplugging and plugging it in doesn't change anything. [02:41] still lucid [02:41] Dr_Willis: done it works thx man [02:41] Dr_Willis: thank u very very very very much [02:41] MaMoUs: so the issue is that for SOME fileysstems you MUST tell it a proper -t XXX option [02:41] bluezone: i normaly just us ssh to ftp and for that I just use nautilus [02:42] sacarlson:when i tried to play .wma file they say that No packages with the requested plugins found [02:42] MaMoUs: why are you using jfs anyway? :) [02:42] Dr_Willis: ow oky ^^ thx again man [02:42] Jordan_U: no, I appreciate the time taken. I think I should understand GRUB, I forgot this option came up and I didn't have the chance to just to a 10.04 install, had to go from fresh 9.10 - 10.04 [02:42] kunze, u can be on it but if for some reason the computer is not picking it up it could help 2 unplug/replug but sounds like you did that all ready [02:42] Izinucs: the netbook version doesn't come with wubi. I mean I can't use wubi to install netbook version and I don't really want to create another "physical" partition for ubuntu [02:42] wubi is a very good tool [02:42] Dr_Willis: idk i think i make it wrong long time ago [02:42] even uploading to documents gives me a permision error now............. one min [02:42] tazman1a: then 10.04 = lucid-desktop [02:42] tazman1a: You can install the netbook-desktop on a normal ubuntu/wubi install to get the netbook interface [02:43] PyjamaSpank: With windows that first 512 bytes is configured to just load another 512 bytes from the begginning of a partition (specifically the one marked "active") and that 512 bytes loads the real bootloader. With grub though, the first 512 bytes of the disk just load grub directly, rather than "chainloading" another 512 bytes from the beginning of a partition. [02:43] Linden940, What? o.o [02:43] tazman1a: the 'netbook-desktop' package lets you have the net5book interface on any ubuntu install [02:43] Dr_Willis: you mean I can use wubi.exe to install netbook-desktop version? [02:43] ubuntu can restarte ever since jave from fire fox dameger it have to over dide it ant ideas thanks [02:43] ok.. i disabled screen blanking in the desktop, but the command line mode still blanks out.. in my googling i found this: setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 and it works in server ubuntu when i put it in /etc/rc.local.. BUT if i do that with ubuntu desktop.. the command line screens still blank.. any suggestions? [02:43] lol nothin iConfused just playin with u [02:43] tazman1a: You install ubuntu, then install netbook-desktop package. and you select netbook at the GDM login [02:44] I was getting a fatal kernel error and tried to upgrade unsuccessfully to Alpha 3 before this happened. Perhaps there is someway to get a to a terminal screen before it freezes at the login screen? [02:44] hello!

So I will let the wubi to finish its lucid-desktop setup and then upgrade later [02:44] lol not smart...ok if you play on it..not good if you have files u wana keep on it [02:44] its when it doed adiangonistic [02:44] Just curious to try things out...

[02:47] asle put doucmemts etc in book marks incilding computerdrive help [02:47] Linden940, yes [02:47] alright ima reask. again. I have 2 computers 1 is running filezilla on windows xp the other is running vsftpd on ubuntu 10.04. When i attempt to upload files ANYWHERE on on my ubuntu computer is gives me a permission denied error. NB: I AM SUCCESFULLY CONNECTED [02:47] qiyong, dont upgrade to that yet!! [02:47] Linden940, do upgrade between releases [02:47] gartal, thank you anyways :) [02:47] its still buggy!!! [02:47] dschuett: i usually just use ufw : i'd try investigating it : do a : sudo man ufw [02:47] do it in VBOX lol [02:47] Linden940, i remember there's a command de gui [02:47] PyjamaSpank: The first 512 bytes of a disk is called the mbr (master boot record), the first 512 bytes of a partition is called the pbr (partition boot record). For people who want to use a microsoft style mbr grub allows you to install to a pbr but for various reasons that's discouraged. Installing grub to "sdb" installs grub to the mbr, installing grub to "sdb1" installs grub to the pbr. [02:47] collabra: i'm determined to learn iptables manually :P [02:48] dschuett: gl! [02:48] what is the command to do upgrade? === astrchmp is now known as astrochimp [02:48] Jordan_U: so installing to sdb1 would have been redundant and akin to the Windows "chainloading"? [02:48] dschuett, How far into the rabbit hole have you gotten? [02:48] thanks tho! i have everything working except the ports i opened...aren't accecable [02:48] cant tourn maching off [02:48] qiyong, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [02:49] edbian, there's another GUI tool, what's that? [02:49] PyjamaSpank: Installing to sdb1 would do nothing if you have grub installed to the mbr already, as grub's mbr code doesn't do anything with any pbr (the pbr would basically be ignored). [02:49] fluxdust, thats a small bug just hold the power and update [02:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560398 [02:50] qiyong, I don't understand your question? By what's that I presume you mean. "What is the command you gave me" It is the command to update the repo database and then upgrade the entire system. [02:50] edbian, thats what he wants 2 do [02:50] Linden940, Well then problem solved. [02:50] upgrade to 10.10.....not smart if u ask me [02:50] Linden940, Oohh he wants to upgrade to 10.10! [02:50] edbian:when i tried to play .wma file they say that No packages with the requested plugins found [02:50] if u wana play with 10.10...do it in VBOX [02:50] !10.10 [02:50] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [02:51] edbian, upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 [02:51] qiyong, oooooooooooooooooooooooo [02:51] qiyong, Next time google it. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-1010-maverick.html [02:51] i thought u wanted to upgrade to 10.10 lmao [02:51] Jordan_U: I see, again, many thanks for the edification [02:51] I'm working on getting my linksys usb wireless adapter to work on my ubuntu desktop, and I found this tutorial that uses my model.

I've had the same problem,... fedora plays em' but i ended up having to convert them to mp3s [02:53] Linden940, please don't say "google it" here, if you don't have an answer don't respond. if you do have an answer, feel free to add "you could have googled it" on the end [02:53] Linden940, that's a very common acronym and would give me many irrelevant results [02:53] ...now to asking my question [02:53] edbian:sorry.........eh...... [02:53] there's one gui command , you can upgrade from one release to another, what' that command? edbian [02:53] qiyong, Well anywho. Open System -> admin -> software sources. Change the releases from LTS to normal. Then you can upgrade out of 9.04 using the update manager (near the same place in the menus) [02:53] endhiran, No worries! [02:53] endhiran, I was just curious. [02:54] endhiran, Install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [02:54] edbian, I WANT THE COMMAND NAME [02:54] edbian: how........... ? [02:54] qiyong, pardon me. [02:54] endhiran, Let me help him first. Hang on a second. [02:54] qiyong, Do you need this to be entirely cli? no gui at all? [02:54] endhiran: I used wine,... and a program called 'lame xp' it took a while to convert them,... but now I've got my old library in mp3s [02:54] or just quit [02:54] whatever' [02:54] lol [02:55] endhiran, Hi.

[02:56] lahwran: how do i fix that [02:56] My question is about customizing the shutdown/reboot process. When it comes to the startup process, we've got rc.local, where we can add the commands we wish to be executed at startup; however, we don't have an rc.local analogue for shutdown. This way, I have hypothesized that this could be accomplished by creating a custom script in /etc/init.d and symlinking it from both rc0.d and rc6.d. Can this be done? Moreover, I guess special [02:56] edbian: there isn't one,... wma's have been lost in ubuntu [02:56] not sure how to start helping you there bluezone, a lot of things could be off that I don't know about [02:56] edbian:gui......

[02:57] edbian:then [02:57] edbian: i'm telling you restricted-extras doesn't include wma files [02:57] endhiran, This software is a window to the repository database. It lists every software package. You can right click on them to install or remove. Green filled boxes are installed. [02:57] lahwran would'nt you agree i should be able to upload files via ftp to my remote ubuntu desktop without any problems? :( [02:57] collabra, I believe you. Do you know what package does? [02:57] pie_time, case in point - cannonfodder [02:57] collabra, they've been lost! [02:57] bluezone, it's not that simple, no, it does need some setup [02:57] collabra, really?! [02:57] edbian:yes that i know [02:57] is there a way to get rid of the spaces between icons in my systray/notification area? [02:57] my laptop wont boot from my bootable flash drive...is it my drive or my laptop thats the problem? [02:58] cannonfodder, well let's find out [02:58] edbian: like i've said,.. i ended up having to convert them to mp3s using wine and a program called 'lame xp' [02:58] how lol? [02:58] for example there is padding between the wifi, bluetooth, mixer and evolution mail icon [02:58] do you have another computer handly, cannonfodder? [02:58] collabra, This says different. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [02:58] nope [02:58] any way to get rid of it? [02:58] hi please help me with this! http://pastebin.com/DMbeZRPt [02:58] endhiran, Try install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and then try to play the song again. [02:58] endhiran, Let's make sure collabra is right. [02:58] edbian: i don't care what it says,... wma for video works,.. but not for audio [02:58] collabra, Well I'm going to try it with him. [02:58] cannonfodder, OK. does it simply ignore the drive on boot? and how new exactly is the eeepc? [02:59] (referring to the whole series) [02:59] collabra, I presume it doesn't work on your system. Do you have any other sources saying it doesn't work? [02:59] edbian:how to install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [02:59] I have 2 network cards installed. One for the net and one for a NAS. The internet one autoconnects but when I enable the second adapter it disconnects after a few seconds. Any ideas?

You can search it using the search tool. When you find it right click on it and choose install. [02:59] endhiran, open a terminal (applications->accessories->terminal) then run that command [02:59] i went into bios and selected boot from removable device [02:59] edbian: w32codecs from medibuntu should have the codecs needed for wma files, though not if they're DRM'd. [02:59] but it doesnt boot from the flash drive [03:00] cannonfodder, does it give an error or just go right to internal? [03:00] My question is about customizing the shutdown/reboot process. When it comes to the startup process, we've got rc.local, where we can add the commands we wish to be executed at startup; however, we don't have an rc.local analogue for shutdown.

Moreover, I guess special [03:00] edbian: endhiran: as a disclaimer to what i'm saying,... my wma's were encoded using edition 11,... it may work for earlier releases of windows media player. [03:00] cannonfodder, and how was this drive made bootable? [03:00] it goes straight to my dual boot [03:00] collabra, DRM sucks don't it? [03:00] i used http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [03:00] collabra, Thanks for that. [03:00] endhiran, I'm very nervous this won't work. [03:00] edbian: i didn't encode using drm [03:00] (please let me know if this should be asked somewhere else) if I wanted to use ubuntu in a movie scene, would I have to ask anyone for permission or anything like that? [03:00] endhiran, I warn you it may be a bit of a wild goose chase. [03:00] cannonfodder, ah. are you trying to install ubuntu? 'cause ubuntu has it's own usb disk installer that kills. [03:01] collabra, O. Well DRM still sucks :P [03:01] edbian: lol,.. yeah,... :) [03:01] well ... on second thought, that only works from another ubuntu cannonfodder [03:01] edbian:ok i will try ............thank you for your help [03:01] lahwran http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download on step 2 click "show me" [03:01] endhiran, Mhmm [03:01] i followed those instructions [03:01] endhiran, See what the others said about the issue? You probably wanna try those things as well. [03:01] but it wont boot from the flash drive,...as for the disc, its slow [03:02] I am interested also in seeing the answer to valbaca's question [03:02] Hi, when I start up my computer, or resume from suspend, or disconnect and rejoin, connecting to my wireless network takes an awful lot of time. I'm talking like 30 seconds here, which is really painful. Is this simply "normal" for Ubuntu? I would like to further investigate and hopefully remedy the issue, but I don't know where the appropriate logs would be. This is the default network manager on a vanilla install of Lucid. Thanks! [03:02] cannonfodder, did you have admin rights on the windows you made this disk from? [03:02] lemmy know if it works for either of you, k: edbian endhiran [03:02] i want a flash drive also so i can install linux on it and also so that i can have all my tools on it [03:02] hey all [03:02] how u doing [03:02] lahwran yes [03:02] i think its my laptop but im not sure [03:02] Hi yall. Im trying to restart samba with "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" but I get command not found. Also, is there a graphical interface for services?? TIA! [03:02] collabra, I'm not actually running Ubuntu right now. Nor do I have any .wma (DRM'd or otherwise) so I can't personally test it. [03:02] cannonfodder, and do you have 'protect boot sector' enabled in the bios? also what version of windows? [03:02] iam trying to install ubuntu lts 10.04 and have a problem [03:03] !ask bsn1 [03:03] edbian: ahh,.. k. [03:03] collabra, And he quit too so... [03:03] windows 7 .....what is protect boot sector? [03:03] yeah [03:03] what is protect boot sector? [03:03] !ask | bsn1 [03:03] bsn1: 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. :-) [03:03] could anyone please tell me why I'm getting the following error? :~$ sudo echo "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL := 2" >> /etc/kernel-pkg.conf [03:03] bash: /etc/kernel-pkg.conf: Permission denied [03:03] lahwran, Protected boot sector! What a load of garbage! Anti-linux windows is at it again. [03:03] i have 3 drives......but when i try to load the program it does not c the the third drive..tells me to do it manually [03:03] help, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560398 [03:04] cannonfodder, a bios option to make the boot sector read only, to protect from malware and accidents. it's a good thing normally (I disagree, edbian) but you have to shut it off to modify your OS [03:04] pie_time, Because you don't have permissions to edit that file. (not even root) [03:04] pie_time, Do you understand linux file permissions? [03:04] pie_time: echo is writing to stdout as root, stdout is going to the shell (which is running as your user and does not have permission to write to that file). [03:04] lahwran, Mmm I see. [03:04] edbian, it's to prevent accidents and windows malware from making the system unbootable; I don't think it's a bad idea [03:04] how do i manually add ubuntu..to the drive [03:04] edbian, Jordan_U this is in ubuntu community documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ [03:04] lahwran, I suppose that it does serve a legit purpose. [03:04] im going to try again maybe i missed something...ill make another thanks guys [03:05] pie_time, What are the permissions on the file? [03:05] cannonfodder, you're welcome. feel free to ask if anything else goes wrong. [03:05] pie_time: You want something like: echo "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL := 2" | sudo tee -a /etc/kernel-pkg.conf [03:05] pie_time, I agree with Jordan_U [03:06] pie_time, ok what are you trying to do? [03:06] pie_time: That's unfortunate, fixing it now :) [03:06] Jordan_U, edbian do you know where I can find a better written guide? this one has had a few errors in it [03:06] valbaca Dextralus http://www.ubuntu.com/legal [03:06] can anyone help me with my sound problem [03:06] ?? [03:07] pie_time, Unfortunately the Ubuntu Community Docs are the gold standard. You might another one out there. It's not likely it's better. [03:07] pie_time, Usually it's excellent! [03:07] What is the proper package to install for mono? [03:07] iflema, thanks [03:07] pie_time: Any reason you're trying to use OpenVZ rather than kvm? [03:07] Jordan_U, my hardware doesnt support kvm [03:07] DeathMonkey68, you haven't said anything about a sound problem [03:07] DeathMonkey68, ask your question if you want an answer [03:07] pie_time: Virtualbox? [03:07] ya its in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560398 [03:08] Jordan_U, that allocates resources that may not be used [03:08] DeathMonkey68, rewrite it so everyone here can read it and you'll get an answer better [03:08] might not* [03:09] I'm trying to restart samba with "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" but I get command not found. Also, is there a graphical interface for services?? TIA! [03:09] im on a clean install of ubuntu 10.04 and i have no sound. [03:09] nimbiotics, It's sudo service samba restart now [03:09] nimbiotics, sudo smbd reload [03:09] nimbiotics, There is no gui that I know of. Probably because most servers (samba or otherwise) don't have a gui at all. [03:10] avi__, Was I wrong? [03:10] iam in the installation screen now........and it only sees 2 drives not my other drive.the only way i can do it is to...specify partions manually then it sees it [03:10] edbian: The cosest thing I know of is bum [03:10] pie_time: I expect the official OpenVZ documentation to be better, though it may not cover Ubuntu specific issues. I've no experience with OpenVZ myself. [03:10] this is where i can stuck ..could someone guide me throught this [03:10] hmm [03:11] edbian, I'm something of a novice to hardcore linux stuff, but your command doesn't do it for me, neither does his, and using samba myself on Lucid, my command does the trick :) [03:11] Jordan_U, what do i do with this line? sudo echo "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL := 12" >> /etc/kernel-pkg.conf [03:11] i found the drive when i want to install it..say the 320gig drive [03:11] avi__: sudo service smbd restart [03:11] i got options....change...delete..revert [03:11] avi__, Yeah they have a new method of starting /ending services in Ubuntu 10.04. Are you sure you have samba installed? I was under the impression the old commands worked fine. [03:12] avi__, Go into /etc/init.d/ do you have a samba file? [03:12] im on a clean install of ubuntu 10.04 and i have no sound. can someone help?? [03:12] edbian, avi: Thanks a lot [03:12] avi__, Do you have a /etc/init.d/ smbd ? [03:12] syn-ack, Erm, i'm not the one with the question.. nimbiotics is :D [03:12] nimbiotics, Yep [03:12] nimbiotics, sure [03:12] avi__: haha, sorry about that [03:12] pie_time: Run this instead, which does what that command was intended to do: echo "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL := 2" | sudo tee -a /etc/kernel-pkg.conf [03:12] hmm [03:12] WARNING **: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. [03:13] edbian, Yes I definitely have samba installed. I also have /etc/init.d/smbd [03:13] pie_time: But that mistake doesn't give me much confidence in that guide's author. [03:13] avi__, So sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart should work. [03:13] Jordan_U, it's not the first mistake [03:14] Jordan_U, what's my next best option to install this thing? [03:14] Anyone know how to enter a file address in a folder? [03:14] edbian, Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service smbd restart Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart smbd smbd start/running, process 21158 [03:14] pie_time: Again, I have no personal experience with OpenVZ but I would check out the documentation @ http://wiki.openvz.org/Main_Page [03:15] avi__, I know the knew method. But I thought you said nothing was working? [03:15] edbian, That's what I get running that command. So it works, but it tells us that it would rather have the new lucid way, which I'm fine with because it looks nicer. [03:15] avi__, oooh ic [03:15] avi__, Yes. /etc/init.d/networking restart is tedious especially when teaching new people and having to explain what is going on. === Linden940 is now known as thankbot [03:16] Trey2: What do you mean? [03:16] Jordan_U, this is the closest thing to ubuntu i could find. will this work, do you think? http://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian [03:16] im on a clean install of ubuntu 10.04 and i have no sound. can someone help?? [03:17] edbian, Okay I just looked back at what everyone said. You're both using the right syntax, but it's "smbd" not "samba". The former works for me, the latter gives the error he reported. Blasted upstart, changing things on us :) [03:17] DeathMonkey68, you might want to give information about your system and tell everyone the various ways you've tried to get your sound to play [03:17] avi__, Yeah. Thanks for letting me know you cleared it up :) === lilx is now known as Guest26719 === intranut is now known as codeMonkey [03:17] DeathMonkey68: Go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [03:17] avi__, smbd samba god [03:17] edbian: yes my child?

This is why I keep a "notes" file in my ~ :) === thankbot is now known as Linden940 [03:18] avi__, clever idea!

You can easily give it a gui with `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop`. [05:25] collabra, ubuntu-server without a gui is called debian ;-) [05:25] Flannel: not with ubuntu-server 9.04,... [05:25] no its not [05:25] collabra: Yes, even with Ubuntu server 9.04 [05:26] different repos buddy [05:26] Flannel: the repos aren't there [05:26] Flannel: no they're not.

[05:32] etherealite: lol [05:32] collabra: No. There's no GUI by default, but it's trivial to add one if you'd like. [05:32] etherealite: I ask that question every day [05:32] etherealite: I am. [05:32] Flannel: as of 9.04 there is no option for a GUI [05:32] idleone, if you were a script you could fake that answer too [05:32] !ot | voss749 etherealite [05:32] collabra: Not during the installer, after you've finished installing. You just add one from the repositories. [05:32] voss749 etherealite: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:32] is anyone here familiar with conky? [05:32] voss749: I could also fake this answer [05:33] tadcrazio: It's best to just ask your conky question instead of asking if anyone can answer it. If they can answer it, they'll answer :) [05:33] trying to update gems1.8 via sudo gems update --system but i get a message about it being disabled on debian ?

[06:30] Delvien: my restore cds have no console [06:30] Delvien: windows seven [06:31] surgy sec [06:31] assalamualaikum [06:31] Delvien: when i "ls" in the grub rescue prompt it lists two partitions [06:31] n3wbie: salam, but we speak english here [06:31] surgy http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html [06:31] saya tidak bisa bahasa inggrisa [06:32] can anybody help me that website didnt help.how to have permission to my cd [06:32] pie_time: yes it does. thats what the make-pkg line does [06:32] Delvien: the very first line doesnt work for me [06:32] Insert Win 7 installation DVD [06:32] !sa | n3wbie [06:32] n3wbie: For the Saudi Arabia team : /join #ubuntu-sa : للانظمام الى قناة الفريق السعودي - For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [06:32] Delvien: all i have is my restore cds [06:32] hey, does anyone else's fullscreen flash "un-fullscreen" when getting a notification, such as changing the sound? [06:32] ada yang memakai ubuntu [06:33] maco, so just follow the instructions exactly as laid out? [06:33] pie_time: yep [06:33] jellow: I don't know, I don't see path in mine so it must be set someplace else. [06:33] its a game and i want to run it,but when i put the disk it says i dont have permission i swear i payed for this computer. [06:33] surgy Thats about as far as I can help you on that one, I am not familiar with the MBR restore process on 7. XP is another story :) might try ##windows though [06:33] I just did a clean install to lucid; now, any window with focus tends to exhibit the "always show on current workspace' behavior. Is this a known feature/bug? === toruk is now known as dulmandakh [06:33] To fix the mbr in Windows 7 you have to use the bootrec.exe command. bootrec.exe /fixboot, bootrec.exe /fixmbr [06:33] pie_time: hmm or are you trying to make a 32bit kernel while running on a 64bit one? [06:34] pie_time: you specified the arch... [06:34] Anyone here use anycoloryoulike icons? If so, does your firefox icon change? [06:34] Delvien: how would i do it in windows xp? [06:34] maco, im trying to make a 32 bit ubuntu kernel on 32 bit hardware [06:34] pie_time: ok, then yes, just follow the directions exactly [06:34] where is the make-pkg line? [06:34] surgy You would have to be RUNNING windows XP on your machine to fix the MBR for it though. You cant fix it with a XP cd, when you are running 7. [06:35] jellow: you can make a temp change with this export PATH="/usr/bin:/bin::./bin" [06:35] surgy so if you are, slap in your install cd, boot to it, hit recovery in the menus, then type fixmbr, like i stated before [06:35] Isn't the some grub superdisk that can fix the MBR? [06:35] Delvien: what if my windows xp requires a "recovery disk" [06:36] Hola buenas [06:36] jlw: i dont want grub [06:36] alguien me puede ayudar [06:36] surgy then you would have to have said recovery disk. [06:36] maco, where is the make-pkg line? [06:36] estoy algo angustiado [06:36] jlw: I thought sudo grup-update did fix the mbr [06:36] I mean, it will fix the Windows boot loader. In case grub broke it and you want it back. [06:36] pie_time: under "Then we build the OpenVZ kernel with the following command:" it says "fakeroot make-pkg..." [06:36] !es ubuntu_ [06:36] delvian thats stupid why doesnt the boot loader go when you delete and reformat an hdd? [06:36] !es | ubuntu_ [06:36] ubuntu_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [06:37] jlw: so the partition is readable? [06:37] I may just be confusing the situation more, though. I'm not sure what his exact problem is. [06:37] thanks [06:37] surgy if you completely reformatted every partition on the HDD, you wouldnt see grub... so if you are, you havent :) [06:37] Mine? Yes, I can boot into Windows 7. It's ona separate HD, I didn't change anything on that drive. [06:37] Delvien: then gparted lied to me [06:38] Err, I just can't boot through Grub2. I have to hit F12 on boot and select that drive. [06:38] so whats a good amount of hard drive space i should use for ubuntu as a casual computer user? [06:38] Delvien: would this work for me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622828 [06:38] jlw: oh maybe you have to sudo apt-get install grub2 [06:39] But I have Grub2, it works fine for both Ubuntu and OS X. It's more of an annoyance than anything. [06:39] surgy Im really not sure. That was written in 2008, before 7 became mainstream, so it may or may not. You should /join ##windows and ask what the best way to go about your problem is, in that channel. [06:39] you mean to tell me that ubuntu is using grub instead of grub 2? [06:40] delvian ok [06:40] jlw: so you can't just hold the shift key and in grub2 menu pick windows 7? [06:40] 我有问题 http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=290613 [06:40] Windows 7 is in the menu. I can select it and attempt to boot into it. That's when I get the Non-system disk press any key to reboot error. [06:40] vava, english please [06:41] vava, chinese in #ubuntu-cn [06:41] jlw: if you look in synaptic is the grub2 box filled blue? [06:41] Heh, I'm quite sure Grub2 is installed, yes. [06:41] SwedeMike: i just went online on my ubuntu mac ppc and it seemed like there was only source downloads available for most downloads that i checked out. Can I use source or am i kinda f'd? [06:41] jlw: ok so why can't you mount that disk then? what do you see with fdisk -l [06:42] jlw: not boot it just mount it and view the files [06:42] for some reason, if I write thedate=$(date +%Y)-$(date +%m)-$(date +%d), $thedate will have \r at the end (newline or something?) [06:42] The disk is mounted right now. That's why I'm so confused. I can mount it, I just can't boot it through grub2. [06:42] how can I fix that [06:43] jlw: ok so the partition is good. so I guess the linked mbr is corrupt and needs to be fixed with windows 7 [06:43] i just went online on my ubuntu mac ppc and it seemed like there was only source downloads available for most downloads that i checked out. Can I use source or am i kinda f'd? [06:44] Nah, like I said, if I choose the Windows drive on boot I can boot into Windows just fine. The only problem I can see is with Grub. [06:44] jlw: oh ok ya werd [06:44] yup, I'm totally lost on this [06:45] jlw: microsoft just hates us man [06:45] deevz: i don't get a newline, where are you seeing an newline? [06:46] I have windows 7 booting fine on another machine, too. Somewhere along the line, I clearly confused Grub, or Windows, or both. [06:46] question: [06:46] i tried to change sudoers file [06:46] I added the write perm [06:46] thune, \r is carriage return [06:46] Windows 7 booting through Grub2, that is. [06:46] and now, i can't use sudo... [06:46] what can i do to fix that ? [06:46] for some reason, I get a carriage return character as part of my declared variable, and I dont want that [06:47] deevz: fine, the question was : where are you seeing it [06:47] what the heck is ISA?? [06:47] when I echo my variable... its a string [06:47] when compiling a kernel [06:47] jlw: well I no longer dual boot, I just use virtuabox with every kind of window in it. so never tried grub2 with windows 7 [06:48] deevz: echo puts a newline on there, are you using echo -n ? [06:48] hello all [06:48] If I write theyear=$(date +%Y) echo $theyear, output would be "2010\r" [06:48] i'm trying to download software on a newly installed ubuntu 10.04 on a Mac PPC. I'm looking for software that's not just source. it seems like there's not any/much software available for ubuntu installed on an older mac... what should i do? [06:48] 8-) [06:48] what the heck is ISA?? [06:48] well guess ill have to wait till the nvidia card gets here to try again... did not like the onboard ati at all:( [06:49] no thune, but its not about the echo command [06:49] I'm sure it has to do with the way I installed all of my different OS's. I had Windows 7 already, disconnected the drive so I could install OS X and Ubuntu on a new drive. Reconnected the Windows drive after that was all said and done, then regenerated the Grub2 boot menu. It finds and adds Windows, just won't boot. [06:49] im using those variables for something and the fact a carriage return character sliped in the screw up my script flow [06:49] pensacola: better get an intel mac or a pc, ppc support is dropped [06:49] jlw: I know this may be a stupid question but are you sure there isn't more than one window 7 selection in grub2 menu? [06:50] Unless there's a hidden one, I'm sure there's only one. [06:50] But, even if there is another selection, the one that I can see appears to be pointing to the correct drive and partition. [06:50] jlw: and after you moved that disk you did grub-update again? [06:50] deevz: yeah i guess i don't follow. i run the following and there is no junk at the end: theyear=$(date +%Y) ; echo -n $theyear [06:50] i just installed ubuntu and wiped my system. i didn't expect any problems. especially since i found the 10.04 PPC version thru official channels [06:51] After I put the drive back in, I updated grub, yes. [06:51] hmm [06:51] jlw: I had so many kernels in mine that I didn't realize there was more beyond the botom and found what I really wanted off the screen until I scorled [06:51] woah thune [06:51] well its a .sh file [06:51] jlw, are you there? [06:51] scorled ? [06:51] but using ';' character to end the lines solved the problem [06:52] pie_time, yeah [06:52] oh well, maybe i can find an underground ppc database or something [06:52] no more weird characters at the end of my variables and commands [06:52] any ltsp people here? no one respond on the ltsp channel... [06:52] thx thune [06:52] sacarlson, you mean you had to scroll down to see them? [06:52] jlw yes [06:52] jlw I had alot [06:52] jlw i need some help, i just want to use openvz. so I'm following these instructions. but they make you compile a kernel, and i have no idea what im doing. what can I do? http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-and-using-openvz-on-ubuntu-10.04 [06:52] I only have a few, Ubuntu, the recovery mode, windows, and OS X [06:53] i remember reading that Ubuntu was a great option to install on older machines. [06:53] jlw can't be that then [06:53] pie_time, I'm not familiar with openvz [06:53] !ppc > pensacola [06:53] pensacola, please see my private message [06:53] Oh, and the memtest entry. [06:53] IdleOne, can you help me out with this one/ [06:54] pie_time: sorry i don't know what openvz is [06:54] openvz is a virtualizer? [06:54] jlw yes === ubuntu_ is now known as kt0sh [06:54] is there any particular reason you want to use it over another program? [06:54] assalamualaikum [06:55] jlw, because it's the only one with a gui that will work on 32 bit hardware that i know of [06:55] Have you tried virtualbox, pie_time? [06:56] jlw, yeah but that allocates resources and hogs them so they cant be used by anything else [06:56] I see... your problem may be out of my depth. [06:56] Heck, my own problem is. [06:57] pie_time: Have you tried lxc ? [06:57] xxx [06:57] ??? [06:57] i dont see what the point of being in a channel is if all you're going to do is sit, idle and not help anyone who comes in. there are nearly 70 people in #openvz but not one of them is awake and/or willing to help me [06:58] kuttan_, does that have a gui? [06:58] pie_time: No I asked you , I thuoght you would give me an opinion [06:58] jlw: did you try this sudo grub-install /dev/sda [06:58] I'm running a server with 10.04, I only have ssh access, and when I try to access certain files or directories, my session hangs. [06:58] kuttan_, no [06:58] pie_time k [06:59] notme: are they on network-mounted filesystems? [06:59] is there a really simple command line tool i can use to benchmark my cpu? [06:59] psilo2: no [06:59] sacarlson, yeah, I tried that. I don't remember what the result was, just that it didn't work. I suppose I could try again. [06:59] stuff in /var/log and /etc so far. [06:59] amagee: maybe not the best, but I use `dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null` as a rough estimate of how quickly my CPU can generate pseudorandom numbers (i.e. do math) [06:59] I've tried so many different methods I can't remember what or how or when I did it :| [07:00] hmm that's not a bad idea [07:00] i'll try that [07:00] amagee: granted, that's single thread. [07:00] that's ok [07:00] i just want to prove the point that this vps is orders of magnitude slower than it should be [07:01] hey guys [07:01] jlw: and what does this return grub-install -v [07:01] I can move one of the relevant files but when I try to cat it, the session hangs. [07:01] hey all! [07:01] notme: if you do the command in a screen, can you detach when it hangs? [07:01] hay [07:01] ada orang indonesia [07:01] psilo2: good question. [07:01] !id | n3wbie [07:01] n3wbie: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [07:01] grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu7) [07:01] jlw: I also asume you didn't mess with your bios to boot some other disk before /dev/sda [07:02] notme: strace-attach to the hung process and perhaps learn something from that [07:02] Heh, you still don't believe I'm using Grub2, do you? [07:02] jlw: it could be grub2 linked to grub [07:02] jlw: you can boot a grub legacy with grub2 [07:02] Actually, it's set to boot the second drive first, now. But if that caused a problem, wouldn't I just tell grub to boot a different drive. [07:03] jlw: yes that's part of the problem [07:03] jlw: then you would have to change that or change the install [07:03] I've tried booting hd0 and hd1 [07:04] psilo2: any hints for IO benchmarking? [07:05] Windows is on /dev/sda1 and Grub is booting hd0,1, which should be correct. But just in case the bios config was an issue, I tried reversing it, booting hd1,1 instead. [07:05] jlw: you could change the install if you want to boot from the second sudo grub-install /dev/sdb [07:05] linux is so much fun [07:05] lol [07:05] Hmm, can't detach from the hung screen. [07:05] I'm thinking your idea of changing the bios to boot the Windows drive first and then updating grub again might do the trick. [07:06] notme: ctrl-a-d ? [07:06] is there a way of checking to see if a server has s-ata compatibility? [07:06] deevz, since you think linux is so much fun, could you help me with a problem I have? [07:06] I had hoped I could just do it by editing the Grub menu, but that hasn't worked so far. [07:07] jellow: that's what I've tried, it stays hung. [07:07] pie_time: id help you if I wasnt a complete newbie myself :P [07:07] notme: What has hung it? [07:07] I just wrote my first .sh file [07:07] jlw: no you updateing a mbr with grub that is never booted when you did it the original way you were doing it [07:07] cat error.log [07:08] Also, I can't run top. [07:08] amagee: dbench is great [07:08] er, reinstall grub, I meant. Yeah, I'd have to switch my bios setting back and reinstall grub to sda. [07:08] cool, will check it out. thanks :) [07:08] ltsp audio help?? [07:08] Hi i want to play xvid file in mozilla.... any idea how to ? [07:08] install ubuntu-restricted-extras deena [07:09] jlw: eather way works you just have to install grub2 mbr one the one you plan to boot from [07:09] deena, oh wait, in firefox? [07:09] yes [07:09] if you have SATA on a box, then you should see a "SATA controller" in 'lspci', right? [07:09] deena, what is it? an apple trailer? [07:09] I had planned to boot from the second drive like I am now. [07:10] trust the government! [07:10] Xvid movie format wants to play [07:10] jlw: that's fine then just do sudo grub-install /dev/sdb [07:10] And I can run 'ps a' and 'ps x' but not 'ps ax' [07:10] i wish I'd created a separate home partition when I installed Ubuntu so I could break it without worrying about loosing anything. [07:10] deena, what site [07:10] jlw: asuming hd(1,1) = /dev/sdb [07:10] But Grub is already on sdb. [07:10] deena: probably do what bazhand said and then find a gstreamer extension or install mplayer/vlc and find an extension for that [07:11] jlw: that can also be remaped manualy but I don't think you would have done that [07:11] installed vlc-plugin also [07:11] jlw: yes grub is but not the mbr [07:12] bazhang, can you help me with a virtualization question? [07:12] This is hurting my brain. Grub doesn't just create it's only little MBR partition? [07:12] Question: How can I see the time zone of my Ubuntu desktop? [07:12] jlw: I could be wrong, you might want to try your other idea if this fails and modify the bios boot === jay is now known as Guest48765 [07:13] jlw: MBR isn't a partition it's just the first sector on the drive before the partition [07:13] jlw: if your more confident with the bios change do that. like I said eather way works [07:14] Well, what's your way, exactly? It may be easier. [07:14] is it mplayer coming with xvid extension? [07:14] jlw: I always use /dev/sda as my mbr boot in bios [07:15] That's what I'm thinking of doing. Just giving sda priority back and reinstalling Grub to it. [07:15] jlw: some of my drives will also have mbr so they will boot also if they are the only drive in or are moved to device position /dev/sda [07:15] pie_time, what version of ubuntu [07:15] 10.04 [07:16] bazhang, 10.04 [07:16] * OpenVZ is supported on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, and is not supported on 10.04 LTS (lucid). pie_time [07:16] jlw: redundancy in the even of failure I have more than one bootable disk [07:16] bazhang, okie dokie! bazhang how about lxc? [07:17] progesterone: i'm not sure what you are asking for. you can left-click on time applet and hit "Locations" arrow, timesone is next to time. (this is on 9.10) [07:17] jlw: good plan [07:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LXC pie_time [07:17] Only if it works. [07:18] Is it normal for root to have tty's 1-6 open with '/sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1'? [07:18] I'll be back, I hope. [07:18] jlw: it also helps stupid people like me that try to help you and don't know you have your bios to boot from hd(1,1) [07:18] thune3 Thanks [07:19] Yeah, I thought I could just tell Grub to that Windows was on the second drive and it wouldn't matter. [07:20] Anyway, thanks. BRB, maybe. [07:20] jlw: grubs not smart enuf to know what you have bios set to. maybe in the future it will [07:21] notme: that's normal [07:21] bazhang, im following the installation instructions on that guide now. it seems it cannot find the package "sceen" [07:21] pie_time, screen ?

[09:43] bodom: which you can't do [09:44] I need a virtual GPS application. Takers? [09:44] virtual GPS ? [09:44] JackyAlcine: whats ubuntu tweak? [09:44] I'm certainly not aware of any virtual GPS simulators [09:44] JackyAlcine: what should it do? generate NMEA? use gpsd [09:45] ilmenite: gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons --type bool true [09:45] It's a more feature-packed version of the classic settings for ubuntu. [09:45] Check it out on google. [09:45] ilovefairuz: thanks! [09:45] ilmenite: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [09:45] someone knows the recommended way how i get rid of --fs-uuid --set in my grub2 conf. recently after an update i can only start my encrypted ubuntu box after i manually remove those settings in the grub stanza. this is rather annoying... [09:45] thanks JackyAlcine, will look it up [09:45] it's also unofficial and not supported [09:46] i missplaced a menu item that let you configure moniter out put how do you call it from cli [09:46] hmmm, will seee [09:46] ubuntu 10.04 lts [09:46] JackyAlcine, inside Exailee, when I have my library and I come across an mp3 that really shouldn't be there, will exailee let me delete the mp3 without having to go outside ? [09:47] yeah. [09:47] right click and select Move to Trash. [09:47] is ubuntu 8.04 server better then 10.04 server for things like squid proxy cache [09:47] or would 10.04 be better ? [09:47] Op8eeFee: What version of Ubuntu? [09:48] one issue with Exaile is how you have to manually adjust the play queue (Karen_m), but im working on that plugin. [09:48] Op8eeFee: Nvm, just saw your answer. [09:48] Jordan_U: 10:46 < Op8eeFee> ubuntu 10.04 lts [09:49] acidflash: naturally the more recent versions come with update packages [09:49] on my laptop i have sound from speakers,but i get no sound from headphones, what can i do? (linux mint 8.0, kde 4.3) [09:49] !mintsupport [09:49] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [09:49] ilovefairuz: i understand that, but performance wise it should be better correct? things like zph values, they stay constant i presume [09:50] georgeim: go to your sounds settings and change your output device [09:50] acidflash: performance is rather tricky.. [09:50] to what? [09:51] georgeim: to the headphone output. it should show that feature. [09:51] since I've been with ubuntu, i have had ZERO desire to go back to windows. Ubuntu for all, yay yay aya [09:51] ilovefairuz: right, i have a very nicely tuned version on 8.04, but i am thinking of maybe going to 10.04, but i would like atleast a good feeling that it will improve or *atleast* be the same [09:51] Op8eeFee: Could you file a bug report about this problem with "ubuntu-bug grub2"? [09:51] it doesn't change [09:51] ilovefairuz: are you lebanese ? fairuz is lebanese [09:52] georgeim: Sounds Preferences > Output [09:52] georgeim: and change the connector. [09:52] acidflash: pm if you want to talk about something personal, we keep it on topic here :) [09:52] it says: "hda intel" [09:52] do DJ's ever use ubuntu for playing music? I would love to setup a nice laptop for parties with ubuntu with DJ software. If any DJ's are here and could recommend a good setup, I am all ears! lol [09:53] georgeim: i need your computer specs and your version of Ubuntu. [09:53] ok [09:54] Karen_m: depends on what setup you're trying to accomplish [09:54] my boot up tune is not working when i boot in ubuntu [09:54] linux mint 8.0 based on ubuntu 9.10 + kde 4.3 [09:54] hp pavilion laptop [09:54] when i install a package via ubuntu tweak ,it does call apt-get right? [09:54] Hi I've got a question regarding the use of SSH public keys. How do I log in with them?? [09:54] !mintsupport | georgelm [09:54] georgelm: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [09:54] limenite: yes. [09:54] intel i3 [09:55] cool, then its fine to be used [09:55] georgeim: hmm. okay. im more acquinated with KDE [09:55] ilovefairuz, a setup where they can search my library and add songs in but the software detects NO gaps and keeps the music flowing [09:55] and did you see ubottu's reponse. [09:55] no dead air between songs [09:55] yes [09:55] limenite: yeah, it's totally fine. [09:55] :) [09:56] my boot up tune is not working when i boot in ubuntu\ [09:56] Karen_m: you could do with with any music player that supports cross-fading, i think exaile does [09:56] Jordan_U: I would have file a bug report already. however as i have 2 identical configured notebooks, only one showed this behaviour. so i cannot blame the update ;-) [09:56] Op8eeFee: Doesn't mean you can't file a bug report. [09:57] my boot up tune is not working when i boot in ubuntu [09:57] anyone tried connecting ps3 controller via bluetooth to ubuntu lucid? [09:57] folowing this guide: http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/setup-ps3-controller-over-bluetooth-on-ubuntu [09:58] problem is hcidump doesn't report anything when I press the ps3 button to connect bluetooth [09:58] Op8eeFee: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [09:58] pintook: I'd again recommend Ubuntu Tweak (sudo apt-get ubuntu-tweak) [09:58] Hello... [09:58] Hi everyone! I have found that the nautilus don't share files through Ubuntu One. I can only synchronize folders. Any idea? [09:58] JackyAlcine: since when do we recommend ubuntu tweak? [09:58] How can i force a disk check at next reboot? [09:59] hi - not sure whether this is a bug or a support request - trying to compile libg3d and g3dviewer on ubuntu 10.04 amd64 - getting this http://pastebin.com/wgyVGy0j [09:59] it worked fine on 9.10 amd64 [09:59] erry: sudo touch /forcefsck [09:59] !fsck | erry [09:59] erry: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [09:59] Bennit: is it discoverable at all? [09:59] JackyAlcine: also, how would it fix sound problems? [09:59] related to gtk-doc make [09:59] erUSUL, ok thanks [09:59] yes, via usb it works fine [09:59] Who uses UbuntuOne for sharing files? [10:00] and when i put on the bluetooth init.d service, it also tries to connect [10:00] when i disable default bluetooth service and put on hidd, it doesn't do anything as far as I know [10:00] besogon: I do. [10:00] Bennit: press the button on it and do: hcitool scan [10:01] jacky the command is not working in the terminal [10:01] Jordan_U: currently i am on the road and cannot provide this. but i put that on my list when i return [10:01] JackyAlcine: Could you show me what packages you have been installed which include words: ubuntuone and nautilus? [10:02] the disk check finished suspiciously quick [10:02] it took like 5 seconds [10:02] is that normal? [10:02] ilovefairuz: "device not available" [10:02] pintook: you might need to download a DEB package. i have the file. can you send files via IRC? [10:02] hi [10:02] erry: Are you experiencing any problems after the disk check? [10:03] Bennit: try: hcitool dev ? [10:03] JackyAlcine: When I make right click on a file I don't get offer to share it through UbuntuOne but only SMB [10:03] whick file [10:03] empty list of devices [10:03] the_german, well...http://i35.tinypic.com/330r0bm.png [10:03] flashplugin-installer - Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [10:03] flashplugin-nonfree - Adobe Flash Player plugin installer (transitional package) [10:03] now which one? [10:03] the_german, i'm sure i didn't put that file there. [10:03] which file [10:03] Hi all Hope you all well. [10:03] pintook: do not accept files over irc [10:03] hi terrence [10:03] !hi | terrence [10:03] terrence: 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! [10:03] good and you ? [10:03] I need some help with my scanner. [10:04] yes [10:04] erry: holy smokes...ehhm... [10:04] besogon: are you in the UbuntuOne folder in your /home/XXX folder? [10:04] When scanning I get a mirror image of the scan [10:04] ok topyli [10:04] erry: to be honest...never seen that before [10:04] the_german, neither have i, but stuff happens. [10:04] Quite odd, as I've used it before and it worked fine [10:04] JackyAlcine: please don't offer files over irc. also, please don't recommend ubuntu tweak. also, don't give out commands that don't work. when helping. be helpful. thanks :) [10:05] erry: yeah... BACKUPS are a nice invention ;-) [10:05] I'm well Ganesh [10:05] the_german, you think so eh [10:05] does anyone know an mp3 player that pulls in everything from LAST.fm for the artist? The highest ranked songs, so if i'm looking at a CD it shows ... song 4 <1254> song 8 <830> and so on? [10:05] JackyAlcine: No. But I have the folder 'Ubuntu One'. Shoud i share files only in that folder? [10:05] I find myself trying to get through a lot of mp3 junk :( [10:05] topyli my boot up tune does not work can u help [10:05] I do not see the probleme [10:05] topyll: sorry im new to this. >_< [10:05] JackyAlcine: no worries! :) [10:06] the_german, is it safe to attempt to delete that file? [10:06] Karen_m: rhythmbox has a last.fm plugin [10:06] pintook: does sound work otherwise? [10:06] ilovefairuz: nothing [10:06] topyli; yes [10:06] >_< [10:06] JackyAlcine: fine. Thank you. [10:07] Bennit: then the bluetooth adapter is not recognized/not working.. pastebin: lshw [10:07] i need a decent C++ compiler. [10:07] JackyAlcine: g++ [10:07] JackyAlcine: g++ [10:07] besogon: no problem. (^_^) [10:07] Anyone knows how to modify the GDM in Lynx? [10:07] pintook: you mean the sound you get at the login screen? go to System -> Administration -> Login screen and see if it is enabled [10:08] ilovefairuz: http://igor.rave.org/lshw_bendoos.txt [10:08] ilovefairuz and jpds: does it have a GUI? [10:08] Has anyone encountered that before, scan creates mirror image [10:08] JackyAlcine: no, a compiler doesn't have a gui.. an editor or IDE do [10:08] no like the graphical apperance, topyll. [10:08] (dunno if it matters, but my bluetooth init.d service is off while I did that lshw) [10:09] i heard (and read, and seen!) different GDM for Ubuntu . [10:09] **topyll [10:09] topyli: play log in sound is checed [10:09] JackyAlcine: yes it is different. i'm only interested in pintook's login sound [10:10] and ilovefairuz. noo. like a drap and drop interface. [10:10] ilovefairuz: I'd find it weird if the dongle wouldn't work, as I've used it for transporting data from my phone and as it recognizes the ps3 controller trying to connect (after which i disable bluetooth service and put on a hidd server) [10:10] Bennit: is it an internal (pci) adapter or a usb one? [10:10] usb [10:10] hi, what's the preferred way to preset firefox for users when needing to use environment variables using getenv? [10:11] unless thats asking for too much. :p [10:11] when using this technique in /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js the execution of the file is aborted when encountering a var line [10:11] JackyAlcine: try codeblocks or qt creator [10:11] thanks, ilovefairuz. [10:11] pintook: then i'm stumped. perhaps the sound system (alsa) is not started at boot [10:11] Bennit: pastebin: lsusb [10:12] ilovefairuz: http://igor.rave.org/lsusb_bendoos.txt [10:13] where do i locate sound system alas to enble [10:13] Hi does anyone here use Google Chrome browser I have a problem? [10:13] jonn [10:13] weeman: yes [10:13] ey, how do i install msfonts? [10:13] medan [10:14] put them in ~/.fonts [10:14] for some reason, I've lost my top panel with apps, prefrences, etc... can anyone help? I can't get to terminal because of this [10:14] ilmenite: Google Chrome : downloads I want to TURNOFF auto install "Clear auto-opening settings"  is greyed out. ? [10:14] Guys - How do I correct the mirror image I get from the scanner, any help please? [10:14] yes [10:15] Bennit: is there a meta package? [10:15] weeman: yeah [10:15] Bennit: hciconfig -a  .. does it show the device? [10:15] terrence: what application are you using to scan? [10:15] everything I download with Chrome auto opens and attempts to install ? [10:15] Simple scan [10:16] ilmenite: meta package? you just put .tff files into ~/.fonts and programs will recognize those fonts as installed [10:16] weeman: yeah, it's greyed out here too [10:16] ilovefairuz: Simple scan under graphics menu [10:16] Bennit: no, i want all those ms fonts [10:16] topyli:where do i locate sound system alas to enble [10:16] installed [10:17] Can somone please help. for some reason, I've lost my top panel with apps, prefrences, etc... can anyone help? I can't get to terminal because of this [10:17] press Alt+F2 [10:17] doyou have the bottom panel? [10:17] Nubblus_Maximus: and then type gnome-terminal [10:17] ilovefairuz: nothing, but the same address as reported by executing ./sixpair [10:17] **nubblus_maximus: gnome-panel. [10:17] topyli:where do i locate sound system alas to enble [10:17] JackyAlcine: Thanks [10:17] ilovefairuz: do you perhaps know of another program I should use instead [10:18] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/Tnux6gB8 [10:18] Nubulls_Maximus: glad I could help. [10:18] terrence: i haven't tried this one before, did you check around settings? [10:18] Greetings my friends! I have recently learned that you can put Linux onto an Ipod Touch. Can someone explain why anyone would want to do that please? [10:18] JackyAlcine: Maybe u could help a lil bit more if u don't mind [10:19] Duk3: to play tux racer ofc! [10:19] Duk3: that's interestingg. [10:19] topyli:where do i locate sound system alas to enble [10:19] Bennit: sudo hciconfig up hci0 && hcitool scan [10:19] Tux Racer is a very good game. But I think that there has to be another reason. Surely. [10:19] JackyAlcine: this has worked for terminal, but not for the panel it's very strange that it has dissappeared [10:20] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/Cj3syKXA [10:20] Yes. I have [10:20] and read the help file as well [10:20] Which app do you use - [10:20] nubulis:where do i locate sound system alas to enble [10:21] nubullus_maximus: try killall gnome-panel. [10:21] Bennit: swap arguments, sudo hciconfig hci0 up [10:21] pintook: alsa. that's not necessarily the problem though, it is most likely set to start anyway [10:21] bcorne@bendoos:~$ sudo hciconfig hci0 up && hcitool scan [10:21] Scanning ... [10:21] nubullus_maximus: and then type gnome-panel 1 [10:21] pintook: if u right click on your sound icon on your top panel, then this should give u the option to go to sound preferences [10:22] just that [10:22] nothign more [10:22] Bennit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:22] nothing* [10:22] JackyAlcine: will try [10:22] JackyAlcine, I installed exaile, and it's stuck at 70% apply changes... [10:22] pastebotting a oneline output mmmh :p FloodBot1 is very strict :D [10:22] It's been that way for 5+ minutes [10:22] Nubulis_Maximus: gnome-panel will restart automatically when you kill it, no need to start it again [10:23] Bennit: it's working but can't find the device, did you press the button? [10:23] yes [10:23] here's what i want: java install, with the java plugin, flash, how do i get these three things? what are the package names? [10:23] topyli;bye [10:23] Karen_M: that's peculiar. computer specs? [10:24] Bennit: well it's not discoverable (not making itself visible to the computer) so there must be a button or so to turn that on [10:24] topyll: in some cases, it doesn't. [10:24] limenite: you could download them from the site; they have DEB packages for Flash === emc_ is now known as emc [10:24] JackyAlcine: no luck I'm afraid. this is very strange indeed. [10:25] ilovefairuz: you're talking about the ps3 controller there right? [10:25] JackyAlcine: that way, apt-get upgrade wouldnt recognsise then right? [10:25] Nubulls_Maximus: im assuming you have a dock of some sort. If anything, sudo gnome-panel; it worked as a resort for me. [10:25] ilmenite: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin [10:26] !flash > ilmenite [10:26] ilmenite, please see my private message [10:26] Bennit: yes [10:26] Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz with 4GB of ram [10:26] limenite: It would; as a matter of fact, Canonical has packages for it. [10:27] JackyAlcine: excellent!!! panel is back, the wrong color, but back at any rate. a million thanks [10:27] thanks all :) [10:27] thing is: as soon as I plug out the usb, the controller stops blinking [10:27] (is what seems to bne going on now) [10:27] Bennit: what's the model of the controller? === jay is now known as Guest35963 [10:28] after pressing tons of buttons, it starts blinking again [10:28] hi [10:28] umm just the regular ps3 controller, official one [10:28] hi [10:28] how do i stop firefox from going to offline mode at every start up? [10:29] syn-ack: thanks for the tip, but that's specific for Windows-based devices; I'd actually prefer Android or Symbian, and they might be easier to sync, too. [10:29] Bennit: and try resuming the tutorial, hcidump wouldn't be empty now [10:30] still nothing in hcidump [10:30] meh start over [10:30] brb [10:30] I have ubuntu server running and I am tring to mount a usb key.

[10:32] samoangunner: can you try the command df [10:32] oh that's a better way [10:32] What's the best way to get tasks synchronized with a smartphone? And what's the best (best value) smartphone for the task? [10:32] yes I did that and I dont see the drive [10:33] nooby-doo: sorry "about:plugins" [10:33] ilovefairuz: about:plugins maybe? :) [10:33] samoangunner: how about fdisk -l [10:33] it does not come up in the list [10:33] let me tri [10:33] there seems to be a 10.04.1 release. could anyone tell me if there are any release notes or similar for the .1 update?

Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [10:56] does that say whether or not to upgrade or just reinstall [10:56] ? [10:57] lakitu, clean fresh install is recommended. but uou can just upgrade from previous lts [10:57] lakitu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades has the process for upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. [10:57] what is the practical advice - can things go wrong if i upg [10:57] rade [10:58] abhijit: 8.10 isn't LTS. [10:58] lakitu, ya. more chances in upgrading [10:58] rww, hmm [10:58] thanks for the help guys [10:58] Hello??? [10:58] hi [10:58] lakitu, go for fresh install if possible.

[11:01] abhijit: will that save settings? [11:02] Gliktch: after you change mirror did you update like apt-get update or the botton in synaptic [11:02] lakitu, read it. i never done that. [11:02] ok [11:02] what do you guys recommend for a raid1 setup ? boot system if raid becomes degraded ? [11:02] default was no [11:03] sacarlson: I was using command line apt-get about half the time, software-manager the other half... [11:03] depending on whether or not I knew which program I wanted ;) [11:04] Gliktch: well you can only use one at a time. [11:04] but don't worry about that part, I'll deal with that after I reinstall next - I was hoping for more info on the possibility of getting local copies of the repositories though (at least the main/universe one) [11:04] of course I have no idea of its size, it might be like a couple of terabytes :P [11:04] i have downloaded vmwaer source. can i make its .deb file of my own in less than 10 min? so than in future i just double click that .deb file and vmware will install?

It's been acting up since day one [11:11] sacarlson: yikes, yeah I'd definitely need at least 2010 lol But thanks for that link! :) That tells me that in 2006 the relevant repositories were 30GB, so I can assume it's at LEAST 100GB or so by now...

Chrome crashes a lot and Ubuntu Software Center refuses to start very often [11:12] abhijit, and just now my gnome theme automatically changed to something else without me doing anything [11:12] how do i install java so that applets run in my browser in ubuntu 10? [11:12] jubei, ask to channel in general [11:12] crazy win commands [11:12] hm, incidentally typed /exit instead of /wc within the pm window. someone highlighted me here, didnt read it [11:12] wine [11:13] Gliktch: you can setup a group of package you want and make a custom install disk that has those packages on them, I never have more than 10 gig uncompresed applications installed and packages are compressed.

[11:14] http://pastebin.com/jq89XWyE [11:14] someone told me that i shouldnt be adding deb packages on ubuntu, as they have their own repository. or is that rpm packages? [11:14] to migrate to 9 then 10 === denny_ is now known as denny [11:14] abhijit: she's not big on repeating herself. [11:14] rww, :( [11:15] umar: those instructions look fine [11:15] ok rww [11:16] umar: though according to the comments section, the first command has the quotes encoded weirdly, so you'll need to change them to normal " [11:17] rww i dint do that, i tried without it and it is working, so appartently i had the sources right before [11:17] what this command wll do? sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) [11:17] rww, but i heard before that deb packages are different from rpm packages or sth like that, and i should be adding deb packages to ubuntu. have u heard sth like that? [11:18] should -> shouldnt [11:18] abhijit: it will install whats needed to build various software from source [11:18] abhijit: install build-essential and the kernel headers for the currently-running kernel [11:18] rww, bourke ok [11:19] lakitu: I think AptOnCD is the answer to your problem :) [11:19] hi, where would I put a script that I want to start before X starts ? It's not working in /etc/init.d [11:19] umar: those particular instructions add Canonical's partner repository, which is the best place to get Sun Java. In general, yes, adding random stuff is bad. RPM is basically useless to Ubuntu. [11:19] what is that [11:19] umar, rpm is being used in red hat as far as i know [11:19] abhijit: I guess it will install compilers and stuff and the headers for your present running kernel to prepare to compile a driver [11:19] rpm is just a different packaging format [11:19] sacarlson, yah [11:19] ok, Shurakai and rww, so i add deb to ubuntu, and not rpm repositories? [11:20] umar: correct [11:20] yes [11:20] thanks [11:20] !rpm | umar [11:20] umar: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [11:20] lakitu: it's super-simple, just backs up everything in /var/apt/cache/packages to a CD or DVD so you can restore them later... unless you mean you want to backup your actual *setup* (ie, not just what you've downloaded but what you've installed) - though that can cause some issues across distros or across major versions === jay is now known as Guest87695 [11:21] thanks abhijit [11:21] anyone home? [11:21] lakitu: it just means you don't have to download your games and apps again, they can install from the backup [11:21] Gliktch: i want the same apps - preferably with same set [11:21] home?

(the script also starts a driver for the touchscreen) === wayneinthenow is now known as wayneintheNOW [11:26] I want to install a package on Lucid that seems to only be in the repos for Dapper (http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/printbill ). Is there a way to do that through apt, or should I "compile" from source? [11:26] sacarlson: if you have any idea or thought, that would be great. i'm stuck 2 weeks on this now [11:26] blip-: ask in #upstart maybe you need to do a upstart job that will be a precondition for /etc/init/gdm.conf [11:27] blip-: I can take a look at it. [11:27] can I view skype messages in the system notification area ? [11:27] running lucid, when I mount an SSH share in nautilus it asks me for the password every time I click on another folder in that share, like it's not caching it or something. Any ideas?

[14:12] test [14:12] i know this is kind of a random request, but i come from another distro where i'm used to having apt-get/apt-cache equivalents have colored output. does anyone know of anything that makes the output more pretty?

[14:12] hemza: So I guess you want to use suspend if possible. That means we need a swap with 2GB. As I see on your harddisk, we could probably delete the first two partitions '/dev/sda1' and /dev/sda2. Do you agree with me? [14:12] norse [14:13] Pici - oh ffs now its saying I need a password.. the one I set doesnt work [14:13] FFS [14:13] jzacsh: what does the command sudo apt-get install -f please just as i typed it [14:13] Kingsy101: control your language please [14:13] ikonia: gentoo (note i said apt-get equivalent) [14:13] gnomefreak: removing texlive-binaries took care of it [14:13] meltingwax: ah, I missed equivilant. [14:13] meltingwax: synaptic has more pretty colors [14:13] ilovefairuz: thank you [14:13] Kingsy101: Use your mysql password.

[14:13] meltingwax: aptitude or hack the Terminal , like ikonia is saying. [14:13] Pici - hmm I might have left that blank .. does it assign a default p/w for you ? [14:13] minimec: first i need to backup my data [14:14] me ayudan [14:14] hmm i'll look into that [14:14] so... I go to system > Administration > Login screen, and I can't unlock it. Anyone see this before?

[14:14] ya lo hice [14:14] i have a ibm-lotus-notes-8.5.1.i586.deb installfile, and when i try to install it on my pc (with x64 ubuntu) i get the error "wrong architecture" [14:14] ilovefairuz, ya lo hice [14:14] epinky: Ive ran ubuntu in a VM before and havent had this problem -- if I drop back to an older VBox will that solve the issue? [14:14] is it posible to install it on my pc despite the architecture differences? [14:15] anyone know how to get syntax hilighting for less? [14:15] `less` [14:15] hemza: wait. First.. Do you agree that we can delete /dev/sd1 and /dev/sda2. These are the WinRE and the Vista Partition. Do you need to backup something on these two partitions? === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [14:15] I have installed the DEB program package google-talkplugin_current_i386.deb. I have a Gmail account. The Firefox window google.com #inbox now shows to the left under "Chat" a new entry " Status chooser" and a green camera. How can I now video-chat? (In Empathy I could it already before downloading the DEB program package google-talkplugin_current-i386.deb.) [14:16] Cpudan80: I don't think so [14:16] bullgard: where did you get that from ? [14:16] Hi, I have a ubuntu server, with LDAP running on it. Can I use to make Windows authenticate against it? [14:17] Trerot: is that the only option for that software? if so you could try virtualbox and run 32bit version in that on your 64bit system [14:17] arvind_khadri: you sure can [14:17] meow [14:17] minimec: from Vista partition ,yes. but what is this partition winRE (perhaps it is important to work my Toshiba restoration CD) [14:17] I have some icons in the panel that their colors are not matching the color of the tray (gray square in a dark panel) does anyone know how to fix that? [14:18] ikonia, thanks, also I needed to know, if this is setup, can I update patches for the clients, which would be generally Windows. This is the facility provided by AD. [14:18] Cpudan80: try this in CLI(Uppercase matters): VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution any [14:18] arvind_khadri: you can't update patches through AD or LDAP, it's done through technologys such as WSUS that use AD to reference computer names [14:18] arvind_khadri: you can use LDAP to reference computer names [14:19] Pici - sorted.. it was cause by default phpmyadmin doesnt allow no passwords you have to set it in the config file... so nm :) thanks [14:19] ikonia, oh ok, so does WSUS run on Linux? [14:19] When I click on "unlock" on login screen settings, nothing happens. No prompt for a password, and nothing unlocks. [14:19] minimec : at this time i only need to get some size from sd3 without delet any thing. i have 20 GB free i can use it ... i think [14:19] the weather gdesklet will not show me the NOAA radar even though I've put the proper URL in the custom radar link....does anyone have a suggestion? (I have rebooted since the change) [14:19] hemza: Did you create some restore DVD(!) (DVD not CD-ROM). If you created some DVD, you don't need the WinRE partitin, as the whole system was backed up. [14:20] does anybody know where is the config for update-initramfs with included modules? I have problem that my current system after update-initrams dont include a raid modules :/ [14:20] minimed : NEVER i have only a CD from Toshiba [14:20] ikonia: From http://www.google.com/chat/video [14:20] SPM_: /etc/initramfs-tools/ ? [14:20] ikonia, bad question, sorry [14:20] hemza: That is exactly what I would not do! In mey experience you can always work on partitions where you can loose date, but you shouldn't work on partitions where you can loose data. [14:21] bullgard: ok - so you need to speak to google for that package support [14:21] arvind_khadri: no no, I think I knew what you meant [14:21] hemza: Ok You would need that WInRE partitin, if you want to recover the original Vista install. [14:21] ikonia: ok. [14:21] ikonia, is there any method, I can do it from Linux. I have seen puppet, but it is very complex. [14:21] erUSUL: oh, thanks :) I am probably tired as I see... :) [14:22] hi [14:22] minimec: what mean that : you can always work on partitions where you can loose date, but you shouldn't work on partitions where you can loose data. [14:22] SPM_: cat /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [14:22] arvind_khadri: there isn't really a WSUS server for linux, there maybe something that I'm not aware of though [14:22] hemza: Here is my consideration. We will not touch /dev/sda1, but we will delete /dev/sda2 and replace it with a 2GB swap and the rest Ext4 [14:23] hemza: I normally don't touch partitions where I have valubale data on it. I never do partition resizing for example. [14:23] ikonia, thanks a lot :) [14:23] have prob in firefox.. how can i solve it... after i upgrade java [14:23] epinky: Fixed it [14:24] erUSUL: yes, I know. I am only ashamed that I didn't try this myself :) [14:24] when ever i try to openit close itself [14:24] hemza: That way we will not touch the two partitions which contain your data. [14:24] epinky: The Ubuntu guest additions (sudo apt get install vbox-guest-additions) doesn't work, gotta use the additions from the VBox CD [14:24] SPM_: :P [14:24] !yay | Cpudan80 [14:24] Cpudan80: Glad you made it! :-) [14:24] anyone here used webmin? what do you think of it as an easy way to admin a server and its stuff? [14:25] minimec: i understand your Idea. great i think i can do that ... i have done some thing like it where i tryed to install ubuntu. [14:25] !webmin | EvilPhoenix [14:25] EvilPhoenix: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [14:25] ehh [14:26] What command will list all the drives currently connected? [14:26] E8newallm: blkid? [14:26] E8newallm: fdisk -l [14:26] fdisk -l didn't do anything [14:27] hemza: Ok. If you are ready to do so, you can 'right click' on the partiton /dev/sda2 and umount it, if it is mounted. then you can delete this partition. That should give you 44GB of unallocated space. [14:27] minimec: so i will delete sd2 and devise in 2 partions one Swap 2GB and the rest EXT4 [14:27] E8newallm: l = lower L [14:27] Ah [14:27] Yeah did nothing [14:27] hemza: That is what I would do. [14:27] blkid did though [14:27] can someone please tell me how i can reveal the ip of the access point i am connected to? [14:27] Thanks [14:27] E8newallm: sudo fdisk -l [14:27] Ah yeah [14:28] Sudo made it work [14:28] Thanks :) [14:28] E8newallm: I'm lazy to add it hoping you would [14:28] is it possible to switch the alt-tab behaviour in ubuntu? e.g... on normal/extra visual effects option, i *HATE* the alt-tab its so delayed.. so i switch to normal and then its perfect.. but i lose a lot of other eyecandy (and it messes up my window dock) [14:28] I didn't think you needed root access to detect drives. [14:29] minimec: and when i finish ... how to specified this new partition as HOME directory... or some thing else [14:29] E8newallm: well df can run without sudo but it will miss unmounted disks [14:29] Where can I find the 'gdm' folder? [14:30] hemza: That is the second step. First create the partiton. The rest will be done in a file /etc/fstab. [14:30] Divo, why'd you need the gdm folder? [14:30] Ok, thanks. :) [14:30] anyway it'l be in /etc/gdm/ [14:30] Rockhopper: I'm having some issues with my login screen after trying to set it to auto login [14:31] google suggests there's a filename that changed [14:31] ok === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [14:31] Divo, it's in /etc/gdm [14:31] the conf fles [14:31] thanks [14:31] minimec: usually this file is configured when you want to mount a device [14:31] *files [14:31] !ccsm brett\ [14:31] hemza: Create that partition first... ;) [14:32] ilovefairuz, ahem?

[14:33] rockhopper: If I need to rename a conf file, and it won't let me... do I need to do it in terminal w/ sudo? [14:34] eino: use the onbaord gpu instead? than get the driver post install then use the gpu? (not really a real workaround [14:34] When using dd, how can I set two different files to write from? [14:34] aeon-ltd I don't have an onboard gpu [14:34] yeah you need to sudo [14:34] Can I do something like "dd if=File1.txt+File2.txt..." [14:34] Divo, yeah [14:34] I'm not sure how this happened, but my numpad has become a controller for my mouse instead of a keypad.. how do I fix this? [14:35] minimec: give the steps to do it ... i will try it later [14:35] When you do add-apt-repository in 10.04, where are the repositories added to? I am not seeing any changes to /etc/apt/sources.list [14:35] E8newallm: cat file1 file2 > output [14:35] rdg: try num lock key [14:35] raubvogel: look in software sources [14:35] Dingofest2: yea I did, didn't fix it [14:35] hemza: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [14:35] rdg, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/movecursor.html [14:35] I think that jelps you rdg [14:36] rdg: Desktop-->Preferences-->Accessibility-->Keyboard and turn off the "Mouse Keys" option [14:36] gnomefreak: i always thought that is what sources.list was [14:36] boom. there it is [14:36] Thanks :) [14:36] thanks peepingtom [14:36] also your handle scares me [14:36] My laptop's mouse pad is not working since attaching USB mouse [14:36] minimec: is there all what i need to get it work [14:36] rdg: np :) [14:36] raubvogel: not that command it should drop it in software sources [14:36] It works until signing in in UBUNTU [14:36] eino: laptop? [14:37] rdg, < Turning the mouse feature off > [14:37] Press Shift + NumLock again to turn this feature off. [14:37] aeon-ltd no, I have radeon hd 5770 [14:37] I don't think that can be used with a laptop [14:37] rdg: Yes what rockhopper said is better, thats probably the cause [14:37] eino: desktop? then shouldn't your mobo have its own gpu? [14:37] no? [14:37] hemza: Normally yes. The new partition should be available right after you did the changes in gparted. The next step would be to copy your files and reconfigure /etc/fstab to use the new partition as /home. [14:37] why would I buy a mobo with its own gpu if I buy a 200 euros gfx card, duh [14:38] gnomefreak, oh. I guess I read https://launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html way too fast :) [14:38] enyone to hlp to setup ralink 3090 wireless card ? ubuntu 10.04 [14:38] also the instructions I gave are super old, in 10.04 it's Preferences > assistive technologies -> keyboard accessibility [mouse keys] [14:38] eino: no it should have its own anyway, by default (usually a single vga port) [14:38] how can we add tips to ubottu?

[15:30] anyone know if the powermanagement/upower bug critical battery bug is likely to be fixed soon? [15:30] <_ikke_> erUSUL: But if i know run the fsck command, it just seems to do nothing. From tha manual, i have read it reads the fstab file, and I recon the partitions aren't stated in the fstab file [15:30] yay engrish? [15:30] hi, my keyboard is skipping keys [15:30] tuy-: Ahh ok, well, the app to fix it is called fixmbr, and it's normally on a rescue CD or a Boot-Floppy (can be USB key also). [15:30] <_ikke_> know -> now [15:30] and fine everything. it's need more time, then asking in this channel. isn't it?

The laptop suspends, but on wake up the screen stays black and the cpu fan startss working overtime. The keyboard does not work. [15:32] peepingtom, new symptom [15:32] forget it. bazhang [15:32] _ikke_: probably. my system is in spanish [15:32] When an employee connects to the VPN (PPP/PPTP), the server assigns itself an IP in the VPN subnet. However, if no employees are connected, the server does not keep the IP.

[18:39] ViN86, so basically the only thing that will unfreeze it and give me access for another 15 minutes or so is be restarting the entire computer and run sshfs again :/ [18:39] Diverdude, ps -aux, then sudo kill pid [18:39] is it froze now?

[18:51] LoL why does this joke only works in the Windows room? xD [18:51] Diverdude: what dir is it? yes you will [18:51] Hello, I remember there used to be an option to add 50 random tracks from teh collection in amarok. I can't find it any more. Is that option still there? (Kubuntu 10.04, KDE 4.4.2) [18:51] sacarlson, its one i mounted using sshfs [18:52] sacarlson, for some reason it starts hanging after approximatly 10-15 minutes [18:52] sipior: that's the original partition table [18:52] Diverdude: then kill sshd === MichealH is now known as Guest99095 [18:52] hi my apple bluetooth keyboard isn't working. [18:52] fonziefrenzie: lucky! [18:52] just wondering how to apply it... fearing to do somthing wrong... [18:52] sacarlson, and the only way i can seem to get access again is by restarting the whole computer === Guest99095 is now known as MichealH [18:52] Diverdude: no must be a better way [18:53] sacarlson, what is sshd? [18:53] Diverdude: worst case for me is normaly logout and in [18:53] aar_, did you check with the kubuntu people or kde #kubuntu #kde [18:53] fonziefrenzie: it's not like you could make it any worse at this point :-) [18:53] hi.. my apple wireless keyboard won't work [18:53] sipior: only have one shot at a reboot =( [18:53] Diverdude: that's the ssh demon on the server side [18:53] sipior: no install media @ hand... and bad experience with usb-boot [18:53] sacarlson, i tried also sudo kill pid after doing ps -aux and finding the pid for the sshfs process [18:54] sacarlson, can i kill the demon on the serverside from my client? [18:54] Diverdude: maybe not [18:55] any one else can give Diverdude a hand with this? [18:55] fonziefrenzie: well, burnable CDs are cheap [18:55] how do i get on to the mint IRC?

[18:57] Diverdude: at this point I would just logout login . that take about 30 secounds. what sessions would be lost? [18:57] hi [18:57] sacarlson, i really dont get it...its like its waiting or hanging or something strange when i try to browse the mmounted dir [18:57] fonziefrenzie: just make sure you get the cylinder numbers correct, and double-check before committing the table [18:57] evening all [18:57] does anybody know how to send a private message on identi.ca? [18:57] fonziefrenzie: should be fine [18:57] hi wildc4rd [18:57] sacarlson, well i could do that but would have to restart all my stuff i have running everytime i do that.... [18:57] Diverdude: so this is not the first time this has happend? [18:58] my problem seems like a permission problem, its a fresh install, done nothing to it, 10.04 LTS, 32bit [18:58] sacarlson, thats matlab, 2 instances, emacs, jabref, browser,mail, pidgin, terminals thinlinc etc. [18:58] sacarlson, no it happens all the time :( [18:58] Can I enable OEM mode using the minimal CD? [18:58] hello. my apple wireless keyboard won't work with 10.04 [18:59] Diverdude: ok then we should find a better way [18:59] Diverdude: what did you use to connect nautilus? [18:59] sacarlson, after 15 minutes or so it just hangs...and i have to start up my virtualbox with windows using winscp to access the files instead [18:59] lfaraone: I dont think so, it's an ALT CD option fer sure though. [18:59] sacarlson, or restart the machine [19:00] sacarlson, i do sshfs myuniversity.server:/ /media/IMM [19:00] Diverdude: well there's one solution just access the ssh over virtualbox and keep the rest of the suff up if reboot or logoff is needed [19:00] sacarlson, and then it works great for a time [19:00] Diverdude: using nautilus? [19:01] sacarlson, i dont connect using nautilus [19:01] Diverdude: using what? [19:01] sacarlson, i connect from the terminal [19:01] isnt their a youtube video downloader for google chrome? [19:01] using command sshfs ..... [19:01] Diverdude: oh not file share just a shell [19:01] oh [19:01] sacarlson, yeah [19:01] no sshfs in not a shell [19:02] sacarlson, what? [19:02] Diverdude: sshfs is ssh file share mounting over ssh [19:02] sacarlson, yeah i know [19:03] Diverdude: and the process can't be killed? [19:03] Diverdude: killall [19:03] sacarlson, no....nothing happens to the process when i go kill pid [19:03] will killall kill all my processes? [19:03] Diverdude: I've had this but never found a solution. If we find yours we will also solve things I have been loging out for [19:04] Diverdude: no I use killall theprocess so I don't have to look up the number [19:04] sacarlson, well at least im not the only one then hehe [19:05] sacarlson, right so i can do killall sshfs ? [19:05] Diverdude: I guess we just have the wrong brians hooked in [19:05] Diverdude: ya but sounds like it won't work [19:05] sacarlson, well....my brain is a poor fit...but i already knew that long time ago :D [19:06] how do i get on irc.spotchat.org server in xchat? [19:06] Diverdude: well mine has more brain cells then you were born with [19:06] How come when I set GDM to automatically log me in, I have to provide my user's password for my wireless internet? [19:06] Diverdude: sorry mine has lost more brain cells than you were born with [19:06] sacarlson, killall also did not work [19:06] sacarlson, hahaha :D [19:07] traskmind: try removing the password from the keyring? [19:07] traskmind: gnome-keyring ask for it [19:07] Diverdude: didn't thinks so [19:07] sacarlson, it used to work without problems [19:08] but at some pointsomethingchanged [19:08] traskmind: sensitive data (like your wifi key) is stored in an encrypted container so if someone gets access to your hard drive, they won't have access to everything you have access to [19:08] i have no idea what and when [19:08] it seems i dont have permissions to change anything on computer [19:08] Diverdude: so what could make it busy to make it not kill? what touches sshfs? [19:08] helo, grishnav, erUSUL: it only asks for my user password on AUTO login? Do I just delete the password from keyring? [19:08] even the sound card is problematic [19:09] helllo. i really love to be able to use my apple keyboard, but it won't work properly [19:09] sacarlson, hmm it feels like its doing some network activity or something [19:09] does anyone else have problems restarting ubuntu so that it only returns to the login screen [19:09] sacarlson, can i check what processes are using the network actively? [19:09] Diverdude: like some other user needs it? [19:10] sacarlson, ike itswaiting for something [19:10] sacarlson, *like* [19:10] the funny thing is that it works perfect with the Live USB pen [19:10] kennydude: was it working before? [19:10] Diverdude: I only know how to monitor network activeity and see what's connected. [19:10] sipior: on Mac OS X it would work, but bluetooth pairing sometimes works, although it won't actually type [19:11] sipior: oh deef - going by cylinders - but the Blocks are different =/ [19:11] Diverdude: sudo netstat -pant [19:11] deer* [19:11] fonziefrenzie: dear, actually. how different are the block counts? [19:12] kennydude: have you ever successfully used it with ubuntu? [19:12] sipior: nope [19:12] hey you guys...i want to learn x 86 assembly but i dont know what software on ubuntu to use so that i can program and debug it....anyone know? [19:12] sacarlson, ssh appears in that list...not sshfs.....but i that should be fine...it makes sense if sshfs uses sshs [19:13] Running AMD64 version of Lucid and my computer crashes whenever X is started, can only boot in through failsafe or console login. Tried reinstalling X, still crashes [19:13] Diverdude: ok kill that [19:13] any ideas? I'm about to just wipe and reinstall ubuntu [19:13] hey you guys...i want to learn x 86 assembly but i dont know what software on ubuntu to use so that i can program and debug it....anyone know? [19:13] old 104857600 - new 104864256 - cylinder 1-13055... that shoudl be sda1... [19:14] Diverdude: ok I found somthing to try xkill [19:14] kennydude: this thread might be of some use: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8841502 [19:14] sacarlson, hmmmif i capture using wireshark i see ssh making response packet len = 64 and request packet len=48 all the time...over and over and over again [19:15] sipior: ... [19:15] Diverdude: so you budy is downloading like p**n or what? [19:15] hi! [19:15] sacarlson, to the same destination ip...thats my university server ip i think [19:15] kennydude: be sure to write down the partition start/end data, in case it doesn't work. you'll eventually have to get new boot media anyway. [19:15] sipior: is it okay if my /etc/modules.conf is empty? [19:15] sacarlson, haha no...im the only user on this connection [19:15] Diverdude: if sshfs has a process number try xkill on it. it warns that its dangers [19:16] hi all, quick one, do i have to be logged in for samba to work OR what's samba's runlevel [19:16] sacarlson, but it makes me even more suspicious that its ssh is asking the server for something all the time...waiting for something [19:16] how do you access "safe graphics mode" for installing Lucid? [19:16] sacarlson, ok ill try xkill [19:17] Diverdude: ok remember I told it it's dangers, I hope you don't like have apt-get install running now. [19:17] kennydude: yes, should be. do any other bluetooth devices work for you? [19:17] sipior: the apple wireless mouse works with no problems. i've even got an alternative to expose working :D [19:17] sacarlson, no i dont have that...why is it dangerous? [19:17] who is an expert to use metasploit framework? [19:18] fonziefrenzie: sorry, that partition message was for you, not kennydude :-) [19:18] Diverdude: I don't know I didn't read that far [19:18] Hello, i have a problem iwith some wierd permission issues on a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 LTS === Jon__ is now known as Audible [19:19] Diverdude: well it's on my system I will try it on apache2 that's running that I'm not using to try it [19:19] sacarlson, roger [19:19] Quit: [19:19] kennydude: in that case, have a look at the recommendations in that thread. looks like they got it working, so no reason you can't also. [19:19] i have ubuntu 10.04 my keyboard is not working and i cant login what can i do??? [19:19] sipior: i looked on the bug item and it said in 10.04 /etc/moduels.conf is now /etc/modules [19:19] sipior: should i just reboot and try again/ [19:20] i only can use the num pad [19:20] Diverdude: oh s**t this is not going to work this is for x clients [19:20] this is really strange [19:20] kennydude: yes, that's correct, but which bug item? [19:20] Hi, I'm going to try and get a new graphics card to work on an old server, bypassing the crappy builtin SIS graphics.. any recommendations as far as AGP vs PCI and manufacturers/models go? [19:20] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/434007?comments=all [19:21] sipior: okay, i'll be back in 5 then :D [19:21] sacarlson, ahh ok...about that network activity i saw before...it turned out to be my thinlinc running actually...had nothing to do with sshfs [19:21] anybody can help me? [19:21] what channel could I ask a technical question about potential uses for an old Dish network Receiver? [19:21] sjlupin: if it's old enough that you're thinking about agp cards, i'd guess that any one you could find will be an improvement :-) [19:21] Diverdude: ok how about kill -9 processid [19:22] rjb what kind of keyboard is it ? [19:22] whileimhere231: #ubuntu-offtopic or maybe even ##electronics [19:22] thanks [19:22] Audible: ps2 keyboard [19:22] sacarlson, hey it think that killed it [19:22] Audible: it was working ok till yesterday, when i login windows no problem [19:23] sacarlson, either that or because i had closed down thinlinv [19:23] Diverdude: wow it killed apache2 also [19:23] yes, Ubuntu One services are back. [19:23] Diverdude: cr*p now we will never know [19:23] Audible: num pad is working so i dont undertand what is happening === 15SAAQHWF is now known as hylian [19:24] Diverdude: ok good team work. leave it to the experts next time [19:24] sacarlson, but i get fuse: bad mount point `/media/IMM': Transport endpoint is not connected if i try to mount again [19:24] rjb : usb keyboard ? bad batteries [19:24] Diverdude: ya mount it again now you know how to kill and bring it back [19:25] sipior: would you recommend a PCI card or an AGP one? ANd nvidia, or someone else? [19:25] how can i keep rhythmbox from starting minimized, which, is really dumb. there should be a gui option to undo this. [19:25] ohh [19:25] its my soundcad [19:25] fucking it up [19:25] Audible: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:25] Audible: Please mind your language here. [19:25] Audible keyboard ps2 [19:25] sacarlson, yah....but mount commandfails :S sshfs server:/ /media/IMM fails [19:25] sjlupin: bit off-topic for here, but i would say any agp card you can find will be great. nvidia or whoever. [19:26] Diverdude: maybe you needed that thinlinc thing [19:26] Audible: i have a ps/2 keyboard [19:26] sacarlson, no that should not be necessary...its for something totally different [19:26] Diverdude: try it from nautilus it's cool and easy. unless you have some script [19:26] sjlupin: (check the motherboard manual to make sure it can take the card speed that you select) === tomas-_ is now known as tomas-_|away [19:26] rjb double check the contact [19:27] or any damages to the cord [19:27] bye [19:27] Audible: contact is ok, keyboard is ok, it works with win, Ubuntu error [19:27] sacarlson, i do have a bash script [19:27] sacarlson, but how do you mount sshfs from nautilus? [19:28] sipior: it didn't work [19:28] Hey [19:28] Diverdude: ok forget it. oh with nautilus I just go to Places>Connect to server>ssh [19:28] sipior: not really, because the integrates SIS315 Pro graphics are (according the folk here) the reason that Ubuntu keeps crashing on my machine - so finding an Ubuntu-friendly replacement seems relevant [19:28] kennydude: have a look at that thread i directed you to earlier. see what they did differently. [19:29] Diverdude: I'm not sure but I think you can bookmark them [19:29] Ke1: You around? [19:29] sjlupin: have a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards [19:29] tuy-: yeah, Im here. [19:30] How's it going? === Rou is now known as Routers [19:30] sacarlson, it seems sftp also works [19:30] sacarlson, maybe i can use that in the futute instead of sshfs [19:30] tuy-: kinda slow. I think, after reseaching you issue, XP wants to see the file system on /sda1 not sda2, and tha's the issue. [19:30] Diverdude: I'm not sure what I use in nautilus if it's sftp or what === tomas-_|away is now known as tomas-_ [19:31] i tried to connec using sftp, works nicely [19:31] Diverdude: oh I think nautilus uses sshfs since you can browse the files and stuf [19:32] KE1HA: is there a way to fix that? DO you think I should reinstall ubuntu to get grub and the mbr reset? [19:33] sacarlson, no it uses sftp [19:34] let's fix tuy- 's problem I learned alot about grub2 today [19:34] tuy-: it's not a Grub issue, it's the MBR to boot.ini / sys file issue. Only way I know to do that, is to remove /sda1 and ntfscopy /sda2 to /sda1 then rezise the partitons once ur in windows. [19:34] Hi there, I'm having issue to setup some directory rights... [19:34] my microphone do not work, any help (to modify any option or something like that).. [19:34] How I can connect to freenode from Tor network using xchat?

[19:54] rrohitiit, and maybe do the same as root.... so we can see the difference [19:54] so is there anyway to get the best of both ubuntu distros.. desktop AND server? [19:54] itsux2bu, use desktop. what do you miss, what is better in server? [19:54] hey... i dont have a blank cd or usb card... can I just load ubuntu onto my external HD and install from that? [19:55] Hello, I just have a quick question.. [19:55] without formatting it [19:55] rotham, if you pc can boot from that, i assume it should behave like a usb stick (but i only assume....)

[19:56] nibbler_ : new to irc [19:56] nibbler_, desktop doesn't ask if you want to install LAMP/OpenSSH/Samba ... [19:56] Hello. Is there a command in ubuntu that list changelogs of packages? Say I want to know what changes happened in the latest libc-update? [19:56] nibbler_ : still dont get u [19:56] rrohitiit, nevermind, just read ubottus message and use the url, it avoids you spamming the channel with 50 lines :) [19:56] what is a LAMP server [19:57] itsux2bu: desktop doesn't ask about any packages, you can still install them afterwards. [19:57] itsux2bu, its justa command to install it, there is tasksel and stuff, isnt it? [19:57] can anybody help me about what is a LAMP server?? [19:57] simar: part of the GENIE suite [19:57] Is there any other logs I should put in? [19:57] simar: Linux Apache MySQL PHP [19:57] !lamp [19:57] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [19:57] itsux2bu: look at tasksel if you want a similar 'gui' to the server cd's selection. [19:57] So can I install the software center in KDE or what? [19:57] and how also... [19:58] I prefer FCPP/FCPR ;) [19:58] e ai [19:58] simar, LAMP = Linux/Apache webpage server/Mysql database/Php scripting language [19:58] dakota_: are you asking about the package manager? [19:58] rrohitiit, do the following: sudo aptitude install strace; strace -econnect wget http://www.heise.de; sudo strace -econnect wget http://www.heise.de |end of commandline things to execute| then copy the output of the two strace runs and paste it on the formular on paste.ubuntu.com and click submit. then give us the url you get there [19:58] alcuna persona parla italiano ??? [19:58] scrivere ? [19:58] helo: KE1HA Actually i'm installing draper server version (in virtual) and its not booting up ... so i guess i can install lamp version [19:58] !it | sagat [19:58] sagat: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [19:58] yes, there is one on my Kubuntu install, but I prefer the one I had used in Gnome "Software Center". === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [19:59] helo: KE1HA i need it for testing a security issue [19:59] simar: try using rasksel [19:59] tasksel [19:59] sima: while Windows, IIS, MS-SQL and php obviously is WIMP [19:59] The one in the Kubuntu install is kinda weird. cant navagate it well. [19:59] dakota_: Synaptic? [19:59] Yes. [19:59] KE1HA: what that tasksel [19:59] Thats it.. [20:00] simar, there is a WAMP too [20:00] Yes synaptic is the once. [20:00] Greetings, I am troubleshooting a freaky awesome network issue on a small soho network, using windows I can use softperfect network scanner which finds stuff out there chewing an ip addy up with out replying to most protocols such as ping, is there a simular competent program for linux? i see that they don't make one but wanted to know if there was a port / alternative [20:00] simar: its a console server installer" in a terminal, [ sudo tasksel ] [20:00] dakota_: well, I am not sure you can use it KDE. Forgot name of KDE one, but they seem pretty similar to me. You can always try installing Synaptic and see if it works [20:00] Would the command be "apt-get install synaptic" [20:01] OmniCitadel, nmap [20:01] KE1HA: i'm sending you the screenshot [20:01] dakota_: yeah, thats the package name [20:01] nibbler_: nmap does not find the same results.... using nmap -sP 192.168.1.1-254 [20:01] * GG`Allin makes [20:02] If I want to open a program externally from the terminal how do I do? At the moment I'm always dependable of the terminal window [20:02] ok, I just wanted to make sure, I did not want to install some unnessary stuff on my machine. thanks. [20:02] OmniCitadel, i'd guess nmap is better :-) but read the manpage, use the scans you need to get the results you want, try -O - i like the -O ;-) [20:02] OmniCitadel: your description is not really clear to me - what are you looking for? [20:03] rrohitiit, are you ok with my latest explanations? [20:03] simar: use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [20:03] ewook: I want to see everything on the network [20:03] nibbler_ : yes [20:03] OmniCitadel: as in sniff it, or scan it? [20:03] kevinSJ: well, some executables you can click on and it loads the program. Depends on the program. Most gui apps you can make a shortcut to the executable. [20:03] KE1HA: http://imagebin.org/111372 [20:04] Alonea, I solved it with ALT + F2 [20:04] kevinSJ: good [20:04] ewook: i cant sniff unless i poison the arp, really i just want to see all devices... [20:04] Hamled: I just created a symlink of the /usr/share/doc directory into /var/www/doc and found that you can then browse the files in the doc directory with http://localhost/doc looks cool [20:04] anyone on the pulseaudio/sound issue? [20:04] OmniCitadel: nmap with the right switches can do it for you. arp-scan is easier tho for just seeing all nics on a subnet [20:04] ewook: softperfect network scanner does a good job but alot of the boxes on the net are set to not reply to snmp [20:04] simar: ok and does it just stop there and not boot the kernel ? [20:05] <_eXeCuTeR> how can i access windows partition through ubuntu? [20:05] nibbler_ : as super user : http://paste.ubuntu.com/483593/ [20:05] nibbler_ :otherwise : http://paste.ubuntu.com/483594/ [20:05] _eXeCuTeR, you should have them in your file-explorer [20:05] ewook: basically i think the windows box is bugged aka causing a problem of once it joins the net no one else can... so i want to see if i am getting the same results when booting it from a live cd [20:05] _eXeCuTeR, look into Samba maybe [20:05] <_eXeCuTeR> nibbler_, i don't have them there [20:05] KE1HA: ya,it just freezes there [20:06] simar: then you have a bad install or something. [20:06] _eXeCuTeR: it should be seen as automountable from Places>Computer [20:06] sacarlson, yeah, turns out all I had to do was set Allow from my work IP and it was already setup, thanks :) [20:06] I've not used that kernsl in a very long time. [20:06] rrohitiit, your superuser uses a proxy, so resolving is done by the proxy. might that be? [20:06] hey everyone [20:07] kernel* [20:07] KE1HA: i'm reinstalling it... how can i test my iso [20:07] Hamled: wow even easier [20:07] simar: md5sum [ name_of_iso } [20:07] nibbler_: when im not super user also $http_proxy variable shows the right proxy [20:08] sacarlson: did tuy- get hos problem resolved ? [20:08] his* [20:08] _eXeCuTeR, there is a way that always works, but its not soo userfriendly. use sudo fdisk -l to find partitions, campare with mount to see which might be windows ones, create a directory like mkdir /mnt/windowspartition and then do sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /path/to/windowspartitiondevice /mnt/x [20:08] sometimes my xserver random crashes, any ideas? what logs do you want me to post besides xorg? http://paste.ubuntu.com/483581/ [20:08] ewook: can you provide a bit of help with arp-scan? i got it installed but the man page is a bit cryptic as is its error messages [20:08] KE1HA: I don't know it looked to complicated for me at this hour of nite [20:09] rrohitiit, ok, there might be a configuration that tells wget to either resolve the final destination at the proxy or locally, maybe this one is different [20:09] KE1HA: I'm a morning guy [20:09] rrohitiit, but what i can tell from the straces is, that root does not resolv and lets the proxy resolve, and user tries to resolve himself [20:09] nibbler_ : does this have to do with permissions of resolv.conf [20:09] ? [20:10] sacarlson: well, I think it's XP, as it, from everythign I've read wil only natively boot from /sda1 VM or Dual boot with Grub2 is diffrent, but I dont know another say to fix it, other than puttin the FS on /sda1 [20:10] rrohitiit, i doubt it, as the local resolv.conf should never be used. how are your proxy variables as user? === david is now known as Guest59513 [20:10] it is as it should be the proxy variable as user [20:11] <_eXeCuTeR> nibbler_, thanks [20:11] KE1HA: I've almost got grub2 wired. had someone today with the bios set to boot from hd(1,1) that had me for about 20 minits [20:11] nibbler_ : it is as it should be the proxy variable as user [20:11] where are htdocs setup on apache2 / ubuntu ? [20:11] KE1HA: it reported this http://paste.ubuntu.com/483597/ [20:11] what log would show me what it said last night? Like, the screen went black, showed some stuff with an [ok] at the end, and then something about failure and the xserver [20:11] sacarlson: IF he wanted to boot from Grub2, that's a no brainer. [20:11] I'm having an issue my my xubuntu install being REALLY slow.... in fact I've tried Ubuntu 32 and 64 bit and Mythbuntu as well, Firefox seems to run really slow on all of them [20:11] kalle_: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ also /etc/apache2/conf.d/ for more global configs. [20:11] <_eXeCuTeR> nibbler_, btw, what's the -3g option? [20:11] KE1HA: i hope this will not be a issue related to low swap space ... i have it 384 MB on 8gb install [20:12] Guest59513: same. I use Chrome. Works brilliantly. [20:12] simar: now you need the MD5 key from the Server you downloaded the ISO from. [20:12] KE1HA: so it was like it booted from /dev/sdb1 instead of sda1 so when you grub-install it never got it [20:12] thanx pici [20:12] hi, I screwed up the sudoer permission. How do I enter the recovery mode? Ubuntu does not even show the kernel menu where I can chose it. it just boot straight into gnome. [20:12] _eXeCuTeR, like 2g but even more advanced! you can use just ntfs, but ntfs-3g has better write support etc [20:12] Response time is hrribly delayed and I've check all the tutorials and mods to about:config and they all pretty much say the same stff [20:12] KE1HA: ok, i will check [20:12] sacarlson: no, his /sda1 is a compaq recover partition, and /sda2 is the XP NTFS partition. [20:12] sacarlson: tons if new features :) [20:13] does "console logged" in upstart jobs work in ubuntu 8.04 ? [20:13] Guest59513: think its a FF issue. Is Chrome and other apps really slow as well? [20:13] sacarlson: I will first upgrade from 9.10 to the most recent version then try again. [20:13] Chrome and sea monkey are both painfully slow as well [20:13] sacarlson: then we fixed his MBR as it was currupt, but it's looking fer XP in /sd1 and the boot.ixi file is on /sda2 === y0sh_ is now known as y0sh [20:13] just my browsers [20:13] Does ubuntu support small offices with 1 or 2 servers? [20:13] Guest59513: hmmm....maybe you got a hardware issue. [20:13] commercially that is. [20:14] ska: look at canonical.com [20:14] sacarlson: here's his fdisk -l [ http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add ] [20:14] ska: Best to contact them for that, we are all volunteers here, not employees of Canonical. [20:14] in that, you can see that /dev/sda1 is the boot partition, but the MBR isn't looking there for it. [20:15] nibbler_ : strangely my w3m works as a user [20:15] rrohitiit, maybe some alias or .wgetrc or whatever manually disables the proxy for the user, maybe try to wget --proxy=on https.... [20:15] KE1HA: well it seems when grub2 is updated it searches for everything it can find on every disk and adds it to the list so if it can boot it should boot. if that fails I leave it to the smarter ones [20:15] sacarlson: and that /sdb1 is the USB Key wehre he had LiveCD [20:15] Pici: sure. just curious [20:16] sacarlson: Yes, Grub2 can do this no problem, but he wants the Native XP Boot config back. [20:16] nibbler_ : that didnt work [20:16] KE1HA: for grub2 a usbkey disk is just like anyother that's why I think most bootable usb disk use grub2 [20:17] hello world [20:17] sacarlson: understad, we was uing the LiveCD from USB, as the netbook doesn't have a CD-Rom to boot LiveCD from, that all. [20:17] KE1HA: well you can set grub2 to default to any on the list if xp is on it you can boot that first [20:18] rrohitiit, as user, do a strace -eopen wget http://someurl.... [20:18] not sure I understand pici , i dont find any referance to where my pages are hosted in the files/dirs you mentioned ? or htdocs there is a test page being served but what dir is that page in and where to add other pages to serve? [20:18] sacarlson: He wants Grub2 gone, and wants the Native XP Bootloader, ms-sys, but when installed, it's looking fer the FS on /sda1, and all that's there is the recovery diag files. [20:19] kalle_: oh... /var/www/ is the default location to serve pages from. [20:19] k i look there, thanx [20:19] KE1HA: why do things the hard way. I guess he can use the windows disk to recover then [20:20] sacarlson: if only it was that easy, not Windows Recovery CD and he does not have a CD-Rom drive for the netbook. [20:21] does not have .... [20:21] :-P Yeah I know [20:21] I have to be difficult [20:21] nibbler_ :http://paste.ubuntu.com/483601/ [20:21] \qui [20:21] KE1HA: ya well I gave yall a posible solution so if you find another good luck [20:21] \quit [20:22] /quit works [20:22] sacarlson: if it were me, I'd install Grub2 and seel the box that way, or do a complete re-iamge. [20:23] what log would show me what it said last night? Like, the screen went black, showed some stuff with an [ok] at the end, and then something about failure and the xserver [20:23] rrohitiit, anything suspicious in your /etc/wgetrc ? [20:23] someone knows where the $TERM variable is set? [20:25] nibbler_ :its completely commented /etc/wgetrc [20:25] having an issue where xserver randomly crashes. any ideas? [20:25] anyone know what the tightvnc channel is? Or anyone know a good bit about tightVNC on ubuntu? [20:26] Alonea: what video card drivers? [20:26] h4z|da: it's in ~/.bashrc [20:26] rrohitiit, hmm, i'm sorry but cant help you. its very strange if the variables are set the same for user/root - and w3m working proves that the system setup is not wrong (or not too wrong, at least) somehow wget refuses to use the proxy, thats for sure [20:26] by default, does ubunto install wine and cane it run all windows apps and print from those apps? === y0sh_ is now known as y0sh [20:27] h4z|da: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [20:27] haryv, not all, but quiet some. appdb.wine-hq. com/org or smth [20:27] !appdb | haryv [20:27] haryv: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [20:27] haryv: wine isn't installed by default, and not all windows apps run. it's really hit and miss [20:27] i see [20:27] M25: lemme see here. Its whatever my netbook has [20:27] then might stick with vista then. [20:27] Alonea: I'd bet you $100 it's an intel card, those have very good open source drivers, probably not the issue [20:28] Alonea: any activities that specifically trigger it? [20:28] i already checked .bashrc, .profile, /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile [20:28] :( [20:28] haryv: What programs do you want to run? [20:28] one login has TERM=xterm, the other TERM=dumb [20:28] M25: yeah, its intel. and no. not activities that trigger. Once was while I was using open office, another time when it was just chrome and pidgin. [20:29] haryv: There are good alternatives to most types of programs you could think of for a PC. [20:29] seb, automotive expert. [20:29] haryv: Oh what's that? [20:29] Alonea: what version of ubuntu, and are you using compiz? [20:29] I am missing I think one key xp repair disk and want to get my laptop working again. [20:29] M25: what happens is the screen goes back, says some checks are ok, then something about failure to connect to xserver I think, flashes a few times, then a box comes up saying it can't read the resolution. Then I get some choices where I can go into low graphics mode [20:29] haryv: I thought you said you had Vista on there/ [20:30] haryv: ? [20:30] M25: I recently upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10. Using ubuntu net remix [20:30] which programming language is used for Linux= [20:30] Esat: loads [20:30] Esat: however Python is a great one to learn [20:30] sorry ment to say vista [20:30] esat, scheme [20:30] Esat, mostly C [20:30] haryv: you have lost the key for the bought Vista DVD you have? [20:30] h4z|da: check in /lib/terminfo "d" is the option for dumb terminal. [20:31] jzarr, , i have not heart to scheme [20:31] Alonea: That's interesting. do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [20:31] seb. new computers do not include the os as disk anymore. No, I mean, the disk I purchaced from acer is missing one. [20:31] Esat, Linux torvolds is a lover of C language...gnome is in C kde is C++ [20:31] which one do you prefer for beginner use?? [20:31] !ot [20:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:32] Esat, you may want to understand both C and C++ [20:32] haryv: as for dual booting your computer, Windows and a Linux distro such as Ubuntu or something else http://www.distrowatch.com thats a good idea [20:32] Esat, althugh I do hear python is easy to deal with [20:32] haryv: ok lets continue this in ##windows [20:32] haryv: and other people there may be able to help also [20:32] coz_, : do you mean that first i need to learn C? [20:32] haryv: actsauly also I was going to suggest really, was that they can probably help you use the recovery partition [20:33] Esat, well C and C++ are similar not identical but yes... if you want to learn one C or C++ [20:33] M25: not that I see. I see a xorg.conf.failsafe [20:33] haryv: and yeah no Windows CD/DVD with the computer :( [20:33] coz_, : thanks [20:33] Esat: there are many languages that are useful [20:33] Esat, C++ is object oriented and good for things graphical like compiz is now coded in C++ but was in C before [20:33] Esat: the one that suits you depends on what you want to do with it [20:34] helo: i m the one who is beginner user [20:34] h4z|da: also, in my setup, ./.bashrc sets the terminal mode for my user. [20:34] haryv: ok so you were looking at Ubuntu, as an alternative to Windows, since the disc issue? [20:34] Can we please move the non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:34] Alonea: You can try making one, based on xorg.conf.failsafe, but it shouldn't technically be necessary. [20:34] Esat: try asking around #programming [20:34] helo, : ok [20:34] M25: yeah, and it doesn't crash very often. once every day or two [20:35] <[Z]> I just installed ubuntu, and updated alsa to the latest. right now my output for audio and video is via hdmi, and for some reason, audio kinda works.in sound manager, when I click on the different tones, there is sound. however sound goes through the headphone jack for main stuff, like playing youtube videos. how can I fix it? [20:35] Esat, yes that is an excellent suggestion #programmin [20:35] coz_, ok, i m there [20:35] cool [20:35] M25: someone told me to reinstall xorg one day, but I am not so sure that is a good idea [20:36] Alonea: the answer to what's going wrong is in one of the log files in /var/log, but I'm not sure which one. Use the System Log Viewer program to view them if you're up for it [20:36] Alonea: reinstalling xorg probably wouldn't help. Doing a clean install of ubuntu might, but there's no guarantee [20:36] M25: well, I got my xorg.0.log here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/483581/ [20:36] hi, anybody with some experience about implementing LDAP and openldap on ubuntuserver? [20:37] M25: this only started happening recently. I think after the last kernel update a few days ago actually. [20:37] Is there a way I can run wacdump in 10.04? [20:37] Alonea: that'd definitely do it, there's a way to revert kernel versions using Synaptic, but I'm not confident enough in the way I'd do it to recommend it to you, especially for a kernel [20:38] Pici : i can run wget only as a super user..can u help? [20:38] seb, yes. I have been a real long time linux users think rh,centos,fc and such. But need something that works right out of the box no time to mess with or configure much while on the road. [20:38] UnderSampled: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/wacom-tools.1.html [20:38] howto link to a local htm file ? using /var/www/name.htm i just get page not found ? [20:39] rhythmbox doesnt show my ipod to me [20:39] Alonea: that xorg.0.log file has the error in it, save a copy of that in case someone else can help you with it [20:39] M25: yeah, I have been hoping one of these updates fixes my audio issues...my audio used to work fine long ago back in 9.10, but so far I hate Lucid. I just want a stable netbook where my webcam, mic, speakers, headphone jack, and wireless work perfectly. [20:39] it did ask at startup, but then nothing [20:39] what about printing though wine? [20:39] I guess it is a install and see if it works. [20:40] haryv, ubuntu 10.04.1 work fine [20:40] run a couple linux servers...which I rarely touch :) [20:40] Alonea: downgrading is not a bad idea. I've found that video card drivers for my laptop tend to be fantastic on every other release [20:41] Alonea: if you don't need any of the newer features, there really isn't any disadvatage. Security updates are supported for years, you can check ubuntu.com to see for just how long [20:41] Also, need a LOW power server low use server "think embeded" anyone recomend any? [20:41] i think my ipod is not being mounted [20:41] M25: heh. thats been on of the things that been fine until now. Before I had to compile my wireless drivers myself. Now its taken care of by ubuntu as of a month ago. audio has been always iffy, but it worked better than this before. [20:41] hello [20:42] haryv: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/c-4-guruplugs.aspx [20:42] M25: all I do on my netbook is program in eclipe, vim, and stuff in qt now. and then skype, chrome, pidgin, open office. [20:42] haryv: i use a wl500gp router as server :-) [20:42] the ipod is being recharged but its not being mounted or recognized by rhythmbox [20:42] Alonea: I can see why you're on ubuntu :) [20:42] haryv: yes you can print through Wine [20:43] wow 686 mb for ubuntu. guess I wont need to download binaries or rpms anymore [20:43] !cups | haryv [20:43] haryv: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [20:43] haryv i just ordered some intel atom boards, dualcore 1.66 ghz , 31 watt total [20:43] M25: yeah. I used to use slackware on my old laptop, but I chose this due to the net remix. [20:43] Alonea: the only thing I can recommend as far as this goes is doing a backup of your /home/USERNAME/ directory, and a clean install. I do that for every version of ubuntu, saves a ton of hassle [20:43] kalle, from intel ? [20:43] I'm going to buy an IBM ThinkPad T42 laptop( here is the info: http://www.pc-outlet.hu/hasznaltlaptop.htm?gclid=CKLL6r641KMCFQ09ZgodrF6Quw ) And I want to ask, that who can say something abuot these or IBM products. Are they runs well with Lucid? [20:43] irc.braschat.org [20:44] ok i have live ubuntu cd, going how do i get my external hdd to show up under gparted? [20:44] helloo i'm new to backtrack and dono hw to install my nvidia driver [20:44] !backtrack | root_ [20:44] root_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [20:44] no haryv from a local webshop the boards are brand asus intel atom d510 with vga/lan the works [20:44] Alonea: you can install sudo apt-get install startupmanager and run the gui to put the kernel you had before back to the default boot so at least it works as good as before [20:44] root_: also you shoudn't run root on IRC, its a security risk [20:44] M25: yeah, I might give that a go here. [20:45] Dwade09: in gparted, hit ctrl+r, then use the button at the top right corner, it should say something like /dev/sda [20:45] how do i mount my external hdd in ubuntu ? [20:45] Alonea: at least you're no on ATI drivers :P [20:45] root_: and backtrack is for security testing and such, its not really a desktop OS [20:45] sacarlson: hmm...I can do that from that one config file for grub as well. though I think this was most stable back at 9.10. [20:45] ty. fixed the TERM=dump thing. configuration problem with my jail [20:45] Unplug it and do dir /dev [20:45] M25, yes it does but its for my main hdd not the external hdd [20:45] then plug it in and repear [20:46] if there's something new, do sudo mount /dev/sdb1, or whatever you saw come up [20:46] M25: oh don't remind me...that was my old laptop. That was a miracle to get 3d acel working. [20:46] i downoad a file from nvidia but i dolln't know how to insta [20:46] how many of you are smb's and are fairing well in this economy "state your location" ? [20:46] i unplugged it and plugged it back in then i did the refresh on it still not showing [20:46] thanks i will log out [20:46] Dwade09: clicking that button should give you a drop down menu, does that menu have more than one item? [20:46] I dunno then, sorry :( [20:46] Alonea: ya you can modify grub2 configs but this shows you how to do it with more confidence [20:47] root_: your not really meant to install Nivida driver into backtrack as far as I know, since its not realy a Desktop OS, why are you using it? You would probably be better off with a distro such as Ubuntu. [20:47] Works with my usb drive [20:47] M25, no it just shows my main hdd [20:47] (although it auto mounts) [20:47] how to install xampp in 10.04 from repository? [20:47] famicube64, i am running a live cd not the real os. [20:47] I just installed apache2 and edited the local index-htm with links to /dir/name.htm but i guet 404 page not found ?, do i need something special to identify local drive for ubuntu ? [20:47] !lamp | Sid123 [20:47] Sid123: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [20:47] not the installed os famicube64 [20:47] thanks a lot sebsebseb [20:47] Oh, can't help you with that [20:47] Dwade09: then your computer can't tell your external is plugged in. As soon as it's connected, and you hit ctrl+r, it'll show up in that menu [20:48] Yeah, the system should detect it [20:48] sacarlson: hmm, I will take a look at it. Just wish ubuntu was more stable these days. [20:48] M25, i hit contrl + r still not showing up [20:49] hi ever1 !!! [20:49] M25, does it also matter that i am in a virtual box doing this with a live cd of ubuntu? [20:50] did "sudo mkdir mydocs" but it assigned permissions as root:root .... why? [20:50] Dwade09: very much so [20:50] Dwade09: does your virtualbox have usb support? some do, some don't [20:50] M25, so i really have to load the real iso image [20:50] jmk2: because you ran it as root. [20:50] jmk2, sudo = root user [20:50] M25, how do i find out if it does? [20:50] mmmm ok. [20:50] jmk2: just drop the sudo [20:50] howto specify a local drive/path for a A href link on ubuntu ? using just the name.htm it works but using /dir/name.htm fails , what is missing ? [20:50] Alonea: I used startupmanager when I tried to fix jackd sound demon and failed after trail of 3 new kernel and went back to the generic that had my virtualbox driver compiled into it already. [20:50] Can you please suggest me a program to use our connection with I2P which is under GPL ? [20:50] Dwade09: or buy a better virtualbox, honestly, it's one CD-R, it's not expensive. Also, you can use unetbootin to install the liveCD to any USB drive over 1GB [20:51] ok,but can xampp be installed from repo?.. [20:51] switch10_: tried but can't mkdir ... still i am part of sudoer list and same group which /var/www belongs to (www-data). [20:51] sacarlson: yeah. I am also looking at just scraping ubuntu entirely and going to slack. [20:51] jmk2: are you in your /home dir? [20:52] hmm M25 when i go to devices at top of vbox, it shows it on my winodws main box but not in the vbox of ubuntu, what is the command to mount the hdd? [20:52] switch10_: no, i'm in the /var/www directory. [20:53] my modem is not detected by even usb-modswitch :( [20:53] Dwade09: you can use 'mount', but ubuntu does that for you. Honestly, the easiest way is to just burn a CD of it, or use Wubi if you're just going for a test drive [20:53] jmk2: you will have to use chown to change the owner/group [20:54] Dwade09, FYI if you are using VirtualBox it can't see physical/real HDs by default [20:54] M25, not going for atest drive i am needing to format a external hdd. [20:54] switch10_: chown on the parent directory /var/www ? i did, it wouldnt change either. [20:54] Dwade09: what do you want to format it to? ext3? [20:54] Alonea: I'm not sure anyone has a working jackd (and a few other things) in this phase of kernel development. sometimes newer is not better [20:55] jmk2: use -R for recursive [20:55] M25, i want to format it to ntfs for my cousin but the windows partition formation wont work [20:55] sacarlson: I am not going to slack for newer, I am going to slack for stability. Something that I have seen little of from ubuntu from the last 6 years === _NG is now known as _ng [20:56] jmk2: it should look like: chown -R user:group dir [20:56] Alonea: I moved to ubuntu from debian because it was closer to the edge and had way more support [20:56] hello all [20:56] Dwade09: gotcha. here's the thing. NTFS is a windows format, if Windows won't let you do it, then there's almost no chance that Ubuntu will either. It might be a corrupt drive, or have a write-protection switch flipped on it. The easiest way to format a drive to NTFS is just using windows, right clicking on the drive, and hitting format. I assume that's the method you tried? [20:56] Alonea: normaly you have to migrate to the masses [20:57] is there any russian people& [20:57] ? [20:57] !ru | hack6 [20:57] hack6: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:57] !ru | hack6 [20:57] M25, yes it is and it hangs and says it cant format, i even tried it as root.

[20:58] sacarlson: slack has a different philosophy. Its not as user friendly, but they promote stability overall. I don't need help using linux. I just want it to work well. [20:58] Dwade09: doubtful. Ubuntu's NTFS drivers aren't the greatest [20:58] êòî ïîñòàâèë ubuntu 10.04? [20:58] !ru | hack6 [20:58] Alonea: in that case, slackware is a great choice [20:58] hack6: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:58] hack6, "join #ubuntu-ru" [20:58] M25, it worked for mine a few weeks ago but i didnt use ubuntu in virtual box i used a real live cd [20:58] M25: indeed. and I have used it before so I know how it works. [20:59] ok I won't bother you anymore with my rambling. time for my sleep now. nite to you all catch you all tomaro. [20:59] Dwade09: then use that live CD? === nathan__ is now known as n8ofsp8ds [20:59] M25, i was trying it this way since i alrdy had the image and stuff on my desktop and the vbox installed already [21:00] Dwade09: again, vbox doesn't support USB by default, I think you have to pay for it [21:00] here's one more ... my groups: joe www-data grp1 grp2 ... so primary is "joe" when i created the user. when i do "mkdir test" in /var/www/ gets owner "joe" ... how do i make it so each time i create files/dir it assigns it "www-data" group instead? [21:00] Hi folks, can someone tell me how to set awesomewm as the default wm with neatx on 10.04-desktop? I've read about every page on the internet trying to figure it out. [21:00] M25, yeah everytime i try to connect it in vbox it shows in the main windows. so looks like ill load live cd [21:00] ... without having to do "chown www-data *" or chgrp ? [21:03] is there any know issues regarding excessive heating with ubuntu? iv duall booted a frieds notebook and he's complaining this temperature, and that the battery takes triple the time to recharge in utunbu than win7 [21:04] alguine sabe como hacer para que mi pagina aparezca en buscadores?

Neurotiquette asked for gunzip [21:26] -r --recursive [21:26] Travel the directory structure recursively. If any of the file [21:26] names specified on the command line are directories, gzip will [21:26] descend into the directory and compress all the files it finds [21:26] there (or decompress them in the case of gunzip ).

[21:36] quick question...I'm on your run of the mill netbook, and was wondering if the netbook version of 10.04 would really be that much better for me than just the normal desktop version. [21:36] isdepopecath: Yes. [21:36] isdepopecath: The main benefit is that it grants you an interface that's better suited to the crappy screen size. === hdemarzo is now known as guiness [21:37] Hello! I want to download recursively my FTP site using WGET or NCFTPGET but i want to ignore files with extension .JPG. Is this possible? [21:38] KB1JWQ: ok, thanks. I just wasn't sure, since I've never used the netbook build. [21:38] leandrocr: yes, the manpage will explain how wget can exclude types [21:38] leandrocr: Quite. There are both recursive and exclude flags. man wget [21:38] isdepopecath: The Netbook Edition's user interface looks somewhat like a cell phone's user interface, but bigger.

[21:52] guntbert: not only that i am pushed to the grub recovery boot menu :( [21:53] #ubuntu [21:53] adac: Webmin. Ebox. PHP terminal scripts, ssh, vnc [21:53] adac: are you trying to get around blocked ports? [21:53] dominicdinada: I cannot imagine any way how this could have to do with an apache problem - but I may err... [21:54] !webmin | dominicdinada [21:54] dominicdinada: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [21:54] mneptok, nope. Something is wrong with my server. On every restart ssh seems to be broken. So until i find yout what is wrong i need such a web terminal [21:54] evening all [21:55] adac: define "broken" [21:55] Folks is there a way to "clean" a ubuntu install and re-install the pakcages? [21:55] Good evening [21:55] KE1HA: thank you very much, worked like a charm! [21:55] guntbert: ebox is the worst program i have ever seen in my life, Webmin for the couple of command line triggers it does not support anymore is still 20x than ebox on its best day [21:55] leandrocr: welcome [21:55] not only that Ebox has no support [21:55] mneptok, when i find out what is wrong i can define it :) [21:56] I can't access to ssh anymore [21:56] adac: well, what's the behavior you see? [21:56] dominicdinada: I agree that ebox seems unusable, but still webmin should not be recommended here [21:56] adac: is the server behind a router, and if so, is port 22 forwarded? does your ISP allow connections to low ports like 22? [21:57] Frederick, not as simple as it sounds. but you can always save your packages list and just reinstall it later. [21:57] Does anyone here know if ubuntu will run on a 1.2 GHZ Intel Pentium III processor and 784 mb of ram. I am installing the Netbook edition. [21:57] Falcon500: should be fine [21:57] I can't get sound to work on a Ubunu minimal(no desktop) install. I've installed alsa-base, and followed all the articles on help.ubuntu.com and still nothing. [21:57] guntbert: I am surprised webmin has not had a patch to work with upstart. and the simple renaming of commands such as samba [21:57] mneptok, yes thats all fine. Last time i did restart sshd again and then it worked again [21:57] Thanks mneptok [21:57] dominicdinada: we are being off topic with that here... [21:57] mneptok, oh wow. Now i can access again...but on port 22 [21:58] pucko-: im having problems with nvidia driver after I updated to 10.4 but Im not sure about what to do [21:58] My concern was with the Pentium III. [21:58] Falcon500 i would use xubuntu [21:58] mneptok, damn this is strange i did add port 2222 [21:58] adac: port 22 is the standard ssh port [21:58] its lighter [21:58] im having some audio problems when ever i plug my headphones in the sound is still heard on the speakers aswell as in the headphones n e solution? [21:58] xubuntu is not lighter [21:58] frag4now, say what? [21:58] where does ubuntu put all the dependency libraries it installs with synaptic? [21:58] anyone using an ipod touch 2g with rythmobox? [21:58] Try out Lubuntu. Use LXDE. [21:59] so long as you only have 1 monitor [21:59] wow such a silly question, prolly in /lib [21:59] Thats why I am installing the Netbook edition vs the standard edition, because it is a lighter OS. [21:59] mneptok, strange in sshd_config there is set Port 2222.... [22:00] I can't get sound to work on a Ubunu minimal(no desktop) install. With Ubuntu-desktop installed, sound works fine. I've installed alsa-base, and followed all the articles on help.ubuntu.com and still nothing. Any suggestions? [22:00] Frederick, yeah, I understand that can be a pain. but I'm sure a reinstall isn't needed. the problem is it's often quite hard to tell what the problem is over irc :-( [22:00] venzil: do you have a headphone plugin on your speakers, if so use it instead , if not open alsmixer and look for the line out and mute it [22:00] What's wrong if the "Prepare partitions" dialog remains empty when trying to install. [22:00] er alsamixer [22:01] Frederick, the usual routine is to look at Xorg log files and then go from there. [22:01] hey all, creating a package that depends on libapreq2-dev. However, in lucid it's broken because it's /usr/lib/libapreq2.la dependency_libs line references /usr/lib/libuuid.la, no longer exists. [22:01] mneptok, so i suppose something is wrong with this file. Last time there was a unrecoginzed char in it which seemed to cause trouble. [22:01] I've got an open question on launchpad about it, but no answer yet. [22:01] pucko-: Im logged on my gentoo box now I will reboot on ubuntu soon and maybe you can help me to make a post to the boards, I know im having problems loading the nvidia module and ive purged it and tried to install over again with no luck [22:02] blueskaj: im using the input o my laptop [22:02] what's an elegant way to test for it's version within my debian/rules file? I've got a workaround that just substitutes the path to libuuid.la to -luuid in the file [22:02] sorry, I'm going to bed. not very good with nvidia problems anywa [22:02] blueskaj: im using the input on my laptop [22:03] adac: "sudo invoke-rc.d openssh-server" and check for erros in cosole output and logs [22:03] err [22:03] pucko: oki ggave a nicew night [22:03] adac: "sudo invoke-rc.d openssh-server restart" [22:03] Does anyone know if ubuntu comes with any drivers? [22:03] so if I can know that this package is building on lucid, then I can invoke the workaround. [22:03] Falcon500: if it didn't, it wouldn't boot. [22:04] mneptok, invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/openssh-server not found. [22:04] That probably was a stupid question... [22:04] adac: how did you instal sshd?

[22:05] Does anyone know of an OSS/Ubuntu solution to a WSUS server? I know it's Microsoft proprietary, but, just curious if anyone has any solution. I'd rather not shell out 2k$+ for CAL's/Server2k8. [22:05] I have an external HDD mounted. I have downloaded a zip package, which i have opened directly using the archivemanager. I now want to drag and drop the content of the zip file into a folder on my mounted HDD using nautilus. When i do this i get a permission denied error. But i have not set up any security. I think there are some stupid default security settings responsible for this. How can i manage to do what i want with [22:05] out getting the security error? [22:05] Does anyone know how put ubuntu on a flash driv? [22:05] How do I run a .bin file? [22:06] mneptok, psilo2 this error above vomes when trying: sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart [22:06] By the way, I am using a mac. [22:06] adac: have you been fiddling with the /etc/init.d/ssh script at all [22:06] @falcon500 [22:06] adac: [ sudo service ssh status ] what does that return ? [22:06] I can't get sound to work on a Ubunu minimal(no desktop) install. With Ubuntu-desktop installed, sound works fine. I've installed alsa-base, and followed all the articles on help.ubuntu.com and still nothing. Any suggestions? [22:07] Does anyone know of an OSS/Ubuntu solution to a WSUS server?

[22:08] KE1HA, not quite possible since I'm logged in via SSH :) [22:09] adac: there's a diffrence between openssh as a service and the open aahd server [22:09] psilo2 - Yeah, Windows Update Server. It's to update windows client machines in a business LAN. [22:09] sshd* [22:09] KE1HA, Oh isee [22:09] hello [22:09] so should i just install the server? is this ok? [22:10] adac: [ sudo apt-get install openssh-server ] [22:10] KE1HA, openssh-server is already the newest version. [22:10] KE1HA, this is quite strange... (: [22:10] adac: and it safiled when you tried to start it via [ service start ] ? [22:10] mr-satan: Ah ok, the idea is to save the bandwidth of making every client get updates remotely? [22:12] KE1HA, well it is started... on startup. but it ignored the ssh config file and therefore started on port 22 [22:12] instead of 222 [22:12] 2222 [22:13] KE1HA, http://jhodges.co.uk/ssh-unknown-option-t/ [22:13] i installed lucid on a Pentium III laptop with 256 MB RAM, everything works ok but at certain point it starts to crawl.

[22:17] has anyone ever heard of localhost not resolving despite the fact that there is an entry for it int he /etc/hosts file? [22:17] psilo2 - Correct. That and simple update administration and standardization. [22:18] KE1HA, in it there is 2222 written but it runs on standard 22 [22:18] psilo2 - Just curious if there was a non-MS solution to centralized MS updates from a *nix server? [22:18] How do I run a .bin file? [22:18] just recently, all flash videos started playing at 3-4x, with no sound. the same thing happens with pianobar. does anyone have a suggestion on where I could start? [22:18] mr-satan: no idea, only done the equivalent with apt. [22:18] psilo2 - no worries. thanks for responding :D [22:19] Fableflame: chmod +x file ./file [22:19] im using digsby thru wine and the other person is not seeing my text in the im [22:19] help please [22:20] adac: can you pastbin you ssh_config pse [22:20] hi there. Using wine i'm having problems with an aplication cause of windows.forms. Seems it's not installed, how can i fix it? [22:20] KE1HA, sure! Wait a bit pease. [22:20] I searched forums and google for answers and nothing seems to work so here goes: TTYs don't appear when I use the ctl-alt-fn keys. any solutions? [22:20] *please [22:21] adac: rr will do [22:21] adac: paste /etc/sshd/sshd_config while you're at it. [22:21] Fableflame: or in the filemanager rightclick on the file and in its preferences dialogbox check the allow executing checkbox (in the third tab). after that you can just doubleclick on that file to start it as usual [22:21] TiK, like this? chmod +x PlaneShift-v0.5.4-x86.bin [22:21] Fableflame: then then ./file [22:21] psilo2, ? [22:22] adac: just reading back: the config file is /etc/ssh/sshd_config (mind the additional d) [22:22] adac: it's the ssh server config file. [22:22] Anybody know of a way to take a video stream from your network (udp, rtp, rtsp, or http) and record it the stream to disk in specific lengths or file sizes with ubuntu 10.04? === Dynamic_Fail is now known as Jinxed- [22:23] Dynamic_Fail: I'm not sure what you mean with 'specific lengths' buty I assume you could use VLC ? [22:23] Jinxed-: see above [22:23] bobo123, I don't believe vlc has a way to segment files into specific chunks [22:23] psilo2: that's what I was meaning, the sshd config, I suspect he has the port option commented out entoun though he changed it too 2222 [22:23] bobo123, it can record a stream to file no problem, the problem is trying to make it record a stream into multiple files [22:24] even* [22:24] Jinxed-: aha, that is the thing, right? Yeah I guess it can be hard to find something that can cut the movie into small movies on the fly... [22:24] Ok. So I just installed Ubuntu on another computer and the SD card reader doesn't work. How can I fix this? [22:26] Uhm. [22:26] Thanks then. [22:26] lolll [22:26] @wild what type of machine is it?> [22:26] guntbert, psilo2, KE1HA http://pastie.org/1116348 [22:27] jzjkzjkzjkzjkzkjzjkzjkzk [22:27] xd [22:27] It's a HP Pavillion dv6000 [22:27] ./setserial -g /dev/tty[SD]* [22:27] what does it do? [22:27] well, that's not the problem then, it's uncommented. [22:27] It won't read the card at all. [22:28] can i boot ubuntu from a USB onto a macbook? i looked on a forum and it says ok but i cant get it to work. holding B key is right ?? [22:28] @wild ithink using wine and reistalling the drivers might help [22:29] Ok. [22:29] adac: well, I dont see anythign wrong in the sshd_config, but it's troubling that you can't status the server [22:29] KE1HA, aye [22:29] not to mention, the time on the file. [22:29] @wild let me know if that works for u k =) igot the same machine but ive yet to install a ubuntu distro on it [22:30] Hey - is there a way to search all files (and subdirs) for a paritcular string? [22:30] Ok I will let you know. [22:30] KE1HA, guntbert, psilo2 xould this really be a hack? like mentioned here http://jhodges.co.uk/ssh-unknown-option-t/ [22:30] How would I set the prntscrn button to launch a bash script? [22:33] KE1HA, How strange is that: ps aux | grep ssh does not even find sshd [22:33] adac: I dont know, but my sshd is 455K and yours in 159K [22:33] nor ssh [22:34] KE1HA, how do you know that? [22:34] adac: is this on a remote server? [22:34] i have a q about a repo, this one http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwimmer-daily/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz seems to not be there any longer, or is it some kind of error? should i remove it and how? [22:34] KE1HA, yes [22:34] adac: it's not strange at all, your ssh is not runnign. [22:34] psilo2, I'm logged in via ssh [22:34] adac: and it's not in the processlist? rootkit.

[22:35] Tik [22:35] same [22:35] Good evening. Quick question: Using the fglrx driver, in a new Ubuntu installation, my gnome-screen-saver does not work properly. Specifically I only get a blank screen. [22:36] Yeah there is something totally wrong here. damn [22:37] @cmpsalvestrini - Have you installed screen savers with symantic package manager? [22:37] psilo2: ur right, i was comparing aples to oranges, my sshd to his config, sri abt that. adac there's somehting wrong in that server fer sure. [22:38] @Nikyo - let me check [22:38] @Nikyo - yes, packages are installed.

[22:39] psilo2, TiK can i caheck somewhere if someone has intruded the system? [22:39] You might be able to do that in LVM too [22:39] hi all [22:39] an VERY new to linux [22:39] and ubuntu [22:39] i need some help [22:39] LittleLegion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:39] Roland: Why do you want to do that? [22:39] actully more than 2 hopefully [22:39] psilo2: adac nd if he updated the sshd_config, unless the date is way out of whack, that config is not right. [22:39] How do i fix it? any one [22:39] anyone help me to install WINE offline please? [22:39] adac: not really. If they have root (and they do) they theoretically could have covered all tracks. However, they may have left clues. [22:39] Roland: if they're identical why would you want half mirror half extended on each, why not just have one whole hdd for storage and the other hdd mirroring? === kevin__ is now known as uvacav1 [22:40] ? [22:40] Roland: For a RAID0, I would dedicate the array for just that. That's why you're using it ... === uvacav1 is now known as uvacav [22:40] raid 0 should almost double the speed i think === uvacav is now known as register === register is now known as uvacav [22:40] Roland: Of certain ops, yeah [22:40] adac: sorry but the only sane thing to do is reinstall from a CD. [22:41] does anyone know how to install WINE offline? [22:41] hi. if i do df, i get the following: df: `/root/.gvfs': Permission denied === ganderson is now known as ganderson-afk [22:41] I just installed 10.04 and I got a bad screen resolution on the 19'' LCD. The display settings dont offer me the native resolution. where do I change that? Do I need an other video driver?

[22:41] Roland: When doing larger read/writes, yes, But not really for random IO [22:41] psilo2, yeah true. But still they are already intruded.

[22:42] hmmm [22:42] adac: no [22:42] psilo2, me neither [22:42] hehe [22:42] Repeat: Good evening. Quick question: Using the fglrx driver, in a new Ubuntu installation, my gnome-screen-saver does not work properly. Specifically I only get a blank screen. Screensaver data packages are installed.

[22:43] !ask | LittleLegion [22:43] LittleLegion: 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. :-) [22:43] ah cool [22:43] oh no [22:44] Roland: sorry to be harsh, but i think your money was probably better spent on other hardware upgrades to net speed gains rather than buying a 2nd HDD [22:44] KE1HA: only if the attacker is a total amateur [22:44] yeah [22:44] I cant install any openoffice packages. Getting same error "Package dependencies cannot be resolved" How do i fix it? Ubuntu 64 bit [22:44] the primary idea was still mirroring [22:45] I use a dongle for my internet connection in windows vista, the software in the dongle is .exe -- I understand that WINE is used to run .exe in ubuntu, but how do i install WINE without an internet connection in the first place. [22:45] KE1HA, psilo2 but yes the hacker locked itself out. 22 is not acessible from outside [22:45] Roland: For video capture, a RAID0 is great, but you want to dedicate the array to the spool [22:45] psilo2: fare enough. I guess he needs to use allow from IP addy only then. [22:45] adac: how do you know? [22:45] psilo2, because it is not forwarded [22:45] adac: he could have a reverse ssh tunnel forwarded to another box. [22:45] adac: bypassing your firewall [22:45] psilo2, ouch [22:45] I'm telling you, it's over [22:46] psilo2, ps aux | grep 1662 [22:46] root 1662 0.0 0.1 3108 448 ? Ss Aug12 0:04 ��� [22:46] yeah its over [22:46] Roland: Depending on your budget, you might be better off dedicating the second drive purely for your capturing [22:46] backup your configs and data (no executables!) and reinstall :) [22:46] Hrm [22:46] ... and swap [22:46] I think I found a bug in Gnome on Lucid [22:47] but what if the disk breaks up? [22:47] anyone else not able to change the screen lock dialog theme? [22:47] Roland: Backups! [22:47] adac: thats a real bummer [22:47] KE1HA, indeed [22:48] I have the strongest passwords in the world.... and still [22:48] adac: sri dude. [22:49] thank you Nikyo [22:50] LittleLegion: what is your dongle/service? [22:50] adac: for the new install, look into rkhunter and tripwire [22:50] psilo2, thx! [22:50] @cmpsalvestrini - You are Welcome.. remember Linux is like a piece of metal.. sometimes you have to hammer out the bumps, to make it smooth.. but it is better than glass like windows. ;-) [22:51] psilo2, and now I go and turn it off ;) [22:51] .

[23:09] roscogruen: long solution, but disable gdm, restart and x shouldn't start and should prompt you to login via cli [23:09] roscogruen: the one built in Gnome 2 with the date and time [23:09] hporse: .gvfs is generally only created when you run a gnome session [23:09] roscogruen: or the one, that omgubuntu people have been working on? [23:09] roscogruen: well long testing technically [23:09] trying to format an advanced format 4k 2TB drive. gparted is giving me errors. trying to use parted but i don't know what I should set for first and last cylinders [23:09] roscogruen: since this silly idea to replace the Gnome clock in 10.10 [23:10] the weather applet uses evaporation, rainfall, wind and sunlight to gauge ET value (how much to water yard) [23:10] did anyone have sound problems after the update? [23:10] I have even tried lum [23:10] roscogruen: How-Too WX gdesklets: http://www.howtoforge.com/gnome_gdesklets [23:10] if there isn't one taht would one would ROCK. values are easy to get off weather.com [23:11] aeon-ltd, they're all /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty[#] [23:11] roscogruen: uhmm [23:11] roscogruen: there is a weather applet that is currently being developed, maybe thats what your on about [23:11] KE1HA: does that tell me how to make one? i can't find one on "google" [23:11] roscogruen: WX looks to be on PG-3 [23:11] sebsebseb: i don't know about the developement [23:11] roscogruen: How to Make, no, how to display, yes [23:11] KE1HA: right === gartral is now known as yes-it-do [23:12] geirha: ah ok. why didn't you make that clear. then i won't screw anything important up by deleting it right? or while we are at it "sudo rm -r /root/" shouldn't cause an harm i guess? === yes-it-do is now known as no-it-dont [23:12] roscogruen: ok so [23:12] aeon-ltd, IDK if -8 38400 is some strange option that is causing probs [23:12] roscogruen: your on about the one that comes with Gnome and Ubuntu at the moment yeah? [23:12] roscogruen: but you could alswyas look at the source doe, and talk to the developers about that particular desklet. [23:12] ha [23:12] @roscogruen http://ubuntuclips.org/ [23:12] code* [23:12] roscogruen: with the date and time [23:12] @roscogruen http://ubuntuclips.org/ [23:12] aeon-ltd, brb 2min [23:12] hporse: Ouch. Don't delete root's homedir. [23:13] roscogruen: and a calender, on the top right of the panel, well thats going to be replaced, with a clock that Canonical have made for 10.10, and so some guys worked on a weather applet, and i'll get you a link [23:13] SOMEONE IS FULL OF HORSEPLAY [23:13] does anyone have any idea? [23:14] geirha: what could go wrong? iirc a freshly installed ubuntu has an empty /root dir. so why don't just revert that? [23:14] is anyone familiar with hole 196? [23:15] hporse: Not entirely empty, there's .profile and .bashrc and probably a few more. [23:15] thanks for your help [23:15] roscogruen: here http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/weather-indicator-applet-genesis-of.html [23:16] sorry, was still on first link [23:16] roscogruen: I don't know if it will become an offical part of Ubuntu 10.10 or not, but if it doesn't already have it, and you get in contact with them, they can probably program in features you want [23:17] really? [23:17] geirha: yes ok. but removing those won't cause any harm. they will just get recreated during the next occasion. [23:17] it would be the first of its kind. i wonder why the news doesn't say, ET value is 0.77". so water your yard, 0.77" [23:17] hporse: No, they won't get recreated. [23:17] roscogruen: well sure http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/whats-in-weather-indicator.html [23:18] Im using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 and my dhcp server wont start.

[23:27] Hopsa: i'm on 9.10! sorry, can't help [23:27] KE1HA: yeah there probably will be a way to have it like before, personally I am not a fan of these Gnome patches that are being done to Ubuntu [23:28] thune3: Ok, thanks anyway. [23:28] Terrencek:did u check ur shortcuts? [23:28] Can anyone else check if dhcpd3 is working in Lucid ?

[23:30] gary_inNYC: How did you install it? Via the repos? [23:30] can someone give me an invite to google voice?? [23:31] HeTaL: i used the deb from google's page === jeffmr___ is now known as jeffmr [23:31] samo-nz: try in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:31] sebsebseb: yes, just a quick look to the top, and I see Sunny & 88F .. gud enough fer me :-) [23:31] gary_inNYC: Can you please try checking for it in the apt-get repos. [23:31] HeTaL, I don't think it's in the repos [23:31] KE1HA: well there will bea menu or indicator applet as people call it, for loads of stuff, this is only the start [23:31] Kerrick: Ah, ok. [23:31] HeTal: does that mean i have to install chrome for each user? [23:32] Kerrick: it used to just add the weather to the panel in Gnome, I am not sure about right now, since my current distro and its Gnome, just adds the locations with the clock. [23:32] gary_inNYC: in the user, try running google-chrome [23:32] See if he has access to it. [23:33] HeTaL: oh yeah! thanks i'm an idiot [23:33] Kerrick: I like the old way, how it would just add to panel the weather stuff, but we are going a little off topic now :D [23:33] sebsebseb, stop hilighting me [23:33] Kerrick: whoops [23:33] gary_inNYC, that's only the first step [23:33] Kerrick: really? what else i need to do? [23:33] Kerrick: yeah he has a 1 in his name, and so my auto complete well doesn't quite work since I am used to just doing letters when auto completing [23:33] gary_inNYC, once you have confirmed that the user can access the item, right-click the menu and choose edit. [23:33] KE1HA: see above [23:34] wow ufw doesnt store the settings if you enable it via sudo ufw enable. ? [23:34] gary_inNYC, and then add Google Crhome [23:34] sebsebseb: yeah but the 1 is still accessed by the left hand ;) [23:34] Kerrick: sweet i'll add it now [23:34] gnea:lmao [23:35] anyone in the west coast? [23:35] gary_inNYC, you'll run into a hassle trying to find the icon; you can just edit the menu in the original account to find its path. [23:35] venzil: thats off topic [23:35] sebsebseb: speak for yourself. [23:35] venzil: unless maybe your trying to find someone local to help you [23:35] venzil: what's up? I'm halfway there [23:35] Gnea: I know I went a bit off topic before when it came to weather stuff, and even put so [23:35] Kerrick: it found the icon :D thanks a lot! [23:35] sebsebseb: got tnx [23:36] sebsebseb: you assume too much. don't. [23:36] well ineed some help i got lucid lynx and cant seem to change the bootsplash [23:36] gary_inNYC, np [23:36] venzil: 10.04? [23:36] sebsebse:yes [23:36] lucid lynx has a different version number? [23:36] venzil: yes lucid Lynix is 10.04 [23:36] whats the irc client for the *nix world? [23:37] Gnea: I read it wrong or something [23:37] venzil: you can change Plymouth theme [23:37] Kerrick: any idea why it didn't show up in the user's list immediately? For me it did. [23:37] sebsebseb: did you hit your head today or something? [23:37] is 20 mb/sec normal for data transfers to thumb drive? [23:37] vintner: Yes. [23:37] HeTaL, no idea [23:37] itsux2bu: I use XChat under GNOME, or irssi under the command line/terminal [23:37] HeTaL, it showed up for me too. [23:37] ugh [23:37] venzil: there are some in the repo, if you remove the default Ubuntu themes, and install another, that will probably work, have you tried this? [23:37] vintner: yeah, the data rubbernecks on those things pretty badly - yes, it's annoying. [23:37] gary_inNYC, you used the .deb package, and not any other method of installation, correct? [23:37] sebsebseb:no ill try it right away TY [23:38] Kerrick: yep [23:38] oh.. there's a tty [23:38] venzil: ok your welcome [23:38] irc client [23:38] yeah the first 600 mb flies right thru, then its downhill from there [23:38] itsux2bu: www.irssi.org - worth a look? [23:38] gary_inNYC, and the "Menu" you're talking about is the thing in the upper left corner and not the thing that runs across the top of the screen [23:38] ? [23:38] vintner: that sounds about right... go make a pizza or something :) [23:38] Kerrick: i mean the "Applications" menu up top on the left [23:38] Yeah [23:38] so IDK then [23:39] Weird. [23:39] you must be psychic, that is exactly what im doing lol [23:39] digorno [23:39] LOL [23:39] does anyone know how to create my own ubuntu themes? [23:39] awesome [23:39] sjlupin, yea.. since i'm playing with ubuntu server in a vbox [23:39] anyone familiar with conky and lua? [23:39] Kerrick: just threw the shortcut into the menu, it's all good. even the extensions carry over between users [23:39] vintner: no Gnea knows where you live, and is spying on you, you should be worried :D [23:39] the black van isnt the mailman? [23:39] actually, it was an old comment on the eggdrop bot code back in the 90's when it used to take about 20-40 minutes to compile what now takes about 20 seconds to compile [23:39] dominicdinada: what is the issue with ufw? [23:40] Hey, does anyone know how to find the fastest apt mirror through the command line? Google suggests a program called netselect-apt that was dropped from the repos a while ago due to its buggy nature. [23:40] Kerrick: I think it might have something to do with the settings gary_inNYC chose when he created the new account. [23:40] sebsebseb: heh, I'm not the US gov't, so I can't put a GPS under his car ;) [23:40] thune3: never has it stored the setting to turn on when the system boots. [23:40] HeTaL, possibly, IDK [23:40] Kerrick: oops, was wrong about the extensions carrying over, but chrome is all good & running [23:40] thanks guys [23:40] venzil: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes [23:41] geirha:ty hope it helps [23:41] Hi, Can anyone help with a downgrade problem? [23:41] HeTaL: yeah the secondary user account i made have no ability to administer the system [23:41] So I'm having trouble with ttys. they're running tty1-tty6 according to ps but when I try to pull them up I just get a flashing cursor. anyone help please? [23:41] thune3: using sudo ufw enable ........ prints firewall is on, will boot with the system, BUT does nothing every reboot it is off. This is not something new this is a problem from day 1 i am just revisiting it [23:42] dominicdinada: that's odd. ufw enable and ufw disable, modify this file /etc/ufw/ufw.conf , which should be used at startup. it sounds like the upstart job isn't running or fails. [23:42] benbloom: Even after a reboot? [23:42] yes HeTaL [23:42] ok so igot lucid lynx and i having some problems changing the host name and the computer name of my machine [23:43] !hostname | venzil [23:43] venzil: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts .

[23:44] MaRk-I:well ive changed it already and restarted my terminal and no luck do i need to restart my machine?\ [23:44] Yep, dhcp3-server in ubuntu doesnt work. I also tried reinstalling dhcp3-server and dhcp3-common [23:44] HeTaL, that was affirmative. I have rebooted the system and done extensive research to no avail [23:45] venzil: yes, but read the warning and double check or you'll end up without sudo [23:45] Hello, all. Which spreadsheet is better, OpenOffice.org Calc or Gnumeric, if I want to use macros and possibly interface with third-party software, like, lpsolve? [23:45] gotcha [23:45] ShinyDarkness_: not sure what Ipsolve is, but [23:45] hola [23:45] thune3: it would report in the logs [23:46] not having any luck in mythbuntu room...problem with mythweb. Cant save playlist or play music from playlist. Can play individual songs. Any suggestions? [23:46] ShinyDarkness_: OpenOffice clac is probably the better out of the two, but I haven't used either properly, and Gnumeric does seem good as well, and theres also KOffice by the way [23:46] !es | oscar_ [23:46] oscar_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:46] Thanks, seb.

When i said day one i meant Day one of lucid 10.04 sorry forgot there was even a .1 [23:47] dominicdinada: if you sudo ufw enable, the file /etc/ufw/ufw.conf isn't getting changed? [23:48] Hello, could someone suggest a package manager for Kubuntu? I have KPackage Manager and I have tried Synaptic, but my main concern is that I would like to browse the installed software rather than just serch for software to install. [23:48] dakota: try #kubuntu [23:48] oh. wrong irc server then? [23:48] dakota: you can ask KDE help in here to [23:48] thune3: no and i looked before i could just enable it in that file [23:48] dakota: ,but that channel will probably be better for your issue [23:49] So I'm having trouble with ttys. they're running tty1-tty6 according to ps but when I try to pull them up I just get a flashing cursor. I have tried rebooting and done extensive research on the boards but nothing seems to help. Can anyone help please? [23:49] dominicdinada: but ufw enable printed "Firewall is active and enabled on system startup" ? [23:49] thune3: yes [23:51] dominicdinada: that's just odd. what does ls -l /etc/init/ufw.conf show for permissions? [23:52] dominicdinada: sorry wrong one ls -l /etc/ufw/ufw.conf [23:53] Hello, I know this is not strictly Ubuntu related, but I think my freenode account has been hacked. Where can I find help?

[23:56] zerothis do you have compiz enabled ? [23:56] thune3: i also thought ufw was just a friendly front end for iptables also and none of the rules are in iptables.up.rules [23:56] dominicdinada: it is, theyre just stored in a different file [23:56] dominicdinada: run "sudo iptables -L" and you'll see them [23:57] dominicdinada: rules you configure using ufw go in /etc/ufw/*.rules [23:57] ultraz: its in ccsm under "place windows" afaik [23:57] Oer: Did have compiz at one time (at full speed), but it quit working and I set visual effects to (*)none in the apperence setem setting [23:57] ultraz: placement mode smart, and tick workarounds [23:58] hi can anybody help, apache just started acting weird on me any php it tries to run is really slow, even just an echo "Hworld", anybody has any ideas? [23:59] مرحبا [23:59] * duffydack thinks compiz was made for window/desktop management, and couldnt do without it [23:59] dominicdinada: i still find it very odd that /etc/ufw/ufw.conf isn't getting appropriately set, i would try setting it by editing and see if it takes. [23:59] zerothis: Your graphics drivers are probably broken. Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.com? [23:59] duffydack: aye, some people do find genuine value with it though
