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 :) [01:03] retfar cool [01:03] EvaLuaTe: not in the expected place (mouse properties) .. might be possible to configure it in xorg.conf or gconf-editor or something.. [01:03] Hi, earlier I installed Ubuntu and came into numerous problems which I fixed, but a new problem occured since one of my previous fixes failed. I got the windows screen saying a problem booting, and to details on how to fix it... [01:03] Dr0nE: on a 32 or 64 bit ? [01:04] tripelb: torrents will help you get a good image as there is extra checking in the torrent protocol [01:04] DasEi, that gedit command just brought up the actually file. [01:04] Jordan_U: Are you still there, and I think you told me how to fix it earlier, but I shutdown before I could see it.. [01:04] DasEi: 32bit linux on 64bit board (64 should not be enabled). [01:04] I want to add some commands to an upstart script, where can I add the code ? Thanks [01:04] GaToR__: whats the message? [01:04] !boot | dlublink [01:04] dlublink: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [01:04] Dr0nE: how much ram (not the g-card, system)? [01:04] EvaLuaTe: if it ever was configurable I'd sure the gnome developers would consider it one more unnecessary bit of configurability that has to be taken out.... [01:04] ActionParsnip: Something like "A file is missing" [01:05] I installed something, let me get the command I ran that did this.. [01:05] where can i find a list of "officially supported laptops" that will work flawlessly without having to worry about installing cams and wifi drivers? [01:05] zcat[1], as far as I could see 'xorg.conf' isn't used in the latest version of ubuntu anymore. Do you have more precise information or even a link with info on how I could do this? [01:05] dlublink, i've never messed use Upstart scripts - but have a look in /etc/init/ [01:05] Magnetro: so file is there and filled with that pgp stuff ? [01:05] GaToR__: if yu can reboot and get the exact errior (paper and pen at the ready) we can advise [01:05] coz_, I just did that and restarted terminal, and its still says the old name [01:05] DesEi: 3GB, 2GB swap [01:05] tripelb usb 2 gig no biger format fat16 [01:05] EvaLuaTe, if you create an xorg.conf it will be used [01:05] ActionParsnip: Sure, one second. It also has numbers like 0x0000, should I copy that down as well? [01:05] DasEi it's blank -__- [01:06] Just restored my grub 2 using live cd but now my XP option is gone... help [01:06] Dr0nE: about max. border you can run on 32, before we start, upgrade to lucid /w 64 bit or least pae ? [01:06] n0a1ias, ooo thats a bit odd [01:06] Magnetro: http://pastebin.com/kxHg5JmX [01:06] ActionParsnip: And just to let you know, I ran sudo apt-get install mbr and sudo install-mbr /dev/sda to make this happen. [01:06] does somebody has experience with kubuntu on a Acer Aspire One 150?? [01:06] Let me get the stuff, one sec. [01:06] n0a1ias, check those two files again then if the new name is there reboot the system [01:06] EvaLuaTe: I'm just speculating. I really have no idea if it's configurable or not.. it never occured to me that it might be configurable in windows either, one click of the wheel is one click of the wheel and I've never felt the need to have it slower or faster. [01:06] I have ubuntu on an acer aspire x1300 [01:06] Magnetro: get that in, SAVE the file, close gedit [01:06] is that close enough? [01:06] ZykoticK9, ok, but any idea what I should write in there to edit the scroll speed? [01:06] let me guess, you have hardware compatibility issues. [01:06] is there any way to stop docky grouping my same windows? [01:06] DasEi: I have no plans to goto 64bit. my intention was to keep it 32bit to keep it stable with my other systems. [01:07] Rewire, try here http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06355/747665-56.stm [01:07] rebooting, its not this computer so i wint have to leav [01:07] shirtless: do you have an 3g qualcomm modem?? [01:07] 64 bit is tha future :3 [01:07] EvaLuaTe, a couple of months ago i was searching for the same thing (scroll speed) but never found an answer/solution. Hope you have better luck. [01:07] iRy: aspire is a USFF desktop, so I don't [01:07] Rewire, also in google "ubuntu laptops compatibility" as the search string [01:07] iRy: the x1300 that is. [01:07] not the netbook/laptop type [01:07] basso: I use 386's. 64bit systems don't work. [01:07] oh ok [01:07] Dr0nE: see 4 gb is max a default 32 os handles, including graphics memory, interopability with 32 oses ain't an issue [01:07] but I have had numerous linux issues with it, so I wondered if any were universal to many acers. [01:07] zcat[1], well, scrolling is fine for me too, but I have a logitech mouse with a tilt wheel that lets me "side scroll". but that one is pretty slow and pretty useless like that, that's why I would like to adjust it... [01:07] sorry [01:08] Dr0nE: what do you use those for? :O [01:08] on my acer aspire x1300 if I plug usb headphones in it causes the system to hang. [01:08] alright rebooting fixed it, thanks coz_ [01:08] i tried now several ubuntu version on my AAO but none of them couldn't manage my mdoem [01:08] Dr0nE: we can do it, though I'm more used to recent current distros [01:08] ubuntu.com/simple/lucid/desktop/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent -- this page does not exist. Well obviously this page exists but it exists to tell you that the page you are looking for does not exist.

Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [01:08] DasEi: I know the normal limit. This system has been running flawlessly for a few years until I loaded grub-pc and removed since it would not boot properly. [01:08] s/Other// [01:08] hmm [01:08] but the USB is flaky as hell [01:09] sometimes the usb ports just outright stop working [01:09] and they fail to enumerate [01:09] Windows handles it fine [01:09] do you use 10.4?? [01:09] basso: I have a couple spare computers that I like running EMC on and crude servers [01:09] Dr0nE: so let's go ahead [01:09] it's a problem with the linux kernel, not the ubuntu distribution. [01:09] Dr0nE: open a terminal [01:09] EvaLuaTe, good luck with that mouse i tryed for 3 months and gave up on it and went and bought a basic usb logitech mouse [01:09] I've been using linux for like 10 years [01:09] tripelb: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [01:09] Dasei after I close gedit, then what? [01:09] my guess is that windows implements a hardware-workaround in software [01:09] The !torrents factoid is flawed, how does one suggest corrections for factoids? tripelb sorry about that. [01:09] tripelb connect with bitturrent [01:09] i know 10.4 uses 2.6.32 kernel, isn't it? [01:09] and that linux doens't know about that [01:10] EvaLuaTe: found it. xorg.conf, Option "VertScrollDelta" "6" [01:10] hiexpo, hmm, that's bad. [01:10] ZykoticK9: /msg ubottu !something is details [01:10] DasEi: Ok? [01:10] iRy: yeah, version doesn't matter. not many people have acer aspires so there will probably not be interest in fixing the bugs amongst the kernel devs [01:10] iRy: the list of stuff to fix is very long [01:10] ZykoticK9: change somthing and details in the command [01:10] Magnetro: sudo chmod +x /home/Bison/Desktop/keys.sh && ./keys.sh [01:10] best to just not buy crap hardware and cut your losses [01:10] right now it works ok [01:10] Magnetro: sudo chmod +x /home/Bison/Desktop/keys.sh && /.keys.sh , see above [01:10] EvaLuaTe, yup to many buttons on it like 7 in it plus whell [01:10] I'm using it right now. [01:10] zcat[1], ok, let me have a look at this. Do I have to restart X to reload the conf file or is there an easier way? [01:11] tripelb set bittorrent up [01:11] what do you use right now? [01:11] hiexpo, mine's just a basic one (3 buttons + 4-way wheel) [01:11] ZykoticK9: e.g. !apple is Don't buy Apple products, they suck [01:11] I'm using the acer aspire x1300 [01:11] Dr0nE: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* --dry-run [01:11] I just don't plug my usb headphones in and I hope the usb ports don't die on me. [01:11] Dr0nE: dang, we have P4 boxes as spares, and you have 386s xD [01:11] Dr0nE: does it attempt to remove other than nvidia-stuff ? [01:11] well good luck [01:11] EvaLuaTe, might be easier than [01:11] ;) [01:11] plus I am only using one usb port because of my KVM switch multiplexing mouse and keyboard over one port [01:11] so I think it's less risky ;) [01:11] less ports to die on me. [01:12] EvaLuaTe: yes, you have to restart X .. also by default there's no xorg.conf so you have to create one with X --createconfig (or whatever the option is) then add the new option in to the mouse section.. [01:12] ActionParsnip, i'm not following - this is the directions to submit "bugs" with factoids? Your suggestion just seems like "message the bot" to retrieve factoids... [01:12] DasEi: cannot find package nvidia [01:12] EvaLuaTe: also the very next comment after the one about MouseScrollDelta is that it doesn't work... [01:12] ZykoticK9: no, if you use that syntax it will add the factoid for review [01:12] maybe i should buy a book about c programming and start to compile my on kernel for this crapy stuff [01:12] I'd like to be able to fix bugs in the kernel, but by the time I learn how linux will probably have been destroyed by a global nuclear war [01:12] EvaLuaTe: ymmv...

[01:25] yes, please [01:25] WinstonSmith: maybe, GaToR__ i'd check what WinstonSmith says too [01:25] GaToR__: you could fsck it [01:25] n0a1ias: use tightvnc [01:25] ActionParsnip, fsck ntfs? [01:26] DasEi: it loaded nvidia-glx-new_169.12 [01:26] thanks for the help shirtless [01:26] n0a1ias: np [01:26] how would I do that with an ntfs :S [01:26] is that even possible [01:26] or wait [01:26] WinstonSmith: oh its ntfs? There is fsck.ntfs in ntfstools but you'd be better with a windows OS checking it [01:26] DasEi: and of course, asking to restart even though it says its "In use" now. [01:26] Dr0nE: I **think the 18../19.. line would be most improved, but as it's hardy, I'm not sur e no more [01:26] chkdsk [01:27] GaToR__: i'd get the UBCD and check it that way too [01:27] Is there a way to manually install the commercial ATI drivers?

[01:27] dvnet: hello [01:27] or not. [01:27] Jammet, > ati [01:27] Jammet: my X1950 didnt have drivers [01:27] How are you doing? [01:28] Darn. I was trying to get away from burning more CDs(as I have none at the moment.) all of this happened 'cause I ran a command..fff. Thanks. [01:28] basso: The card isn't really that old. Really. [01:28] I am super bored and super high. [01:28] DasEi: done [01:28] I cannot get Minitube to start playing videos. I have installed Minituve 1.1 from getdeb repository. Why isn't Minitube working? [01:28] Jammet: 9800pro should have full support on the open source driver [01:28] !of | dvnet [01:28] dvnet: I'm not high, but watching and learning from people here. Did you get high using sudo? [01:28] shirtless: I think it's more difficult than with NVidia's installation.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:29] basso, do you have your x1950 working ? [01:29] Hahahha. using sudo? I am more of a su then password kinda person. [01:29] everything has a driver [01:29] any idea why I get this error http://pastebin.com/yYFDstmn when running 'X -configure' or what I can do to avoid it? [01:29] undifined: yes, i used the open source driver, quite crappy, but it worked. [01:29] basso: No 3D here. It works only at a crawls speed. Besides - I did have full 3D support with this very same card on Linux before. With the commercial package. It's just that in the current Ubuntu I am not presented with the choice to use them any longer. [01:29] basso, mine is in conflict with my onboard ati rv100 [01:30] EvaLuaTe: did you turn X off? [01:30] Jammet: that is because the commercial packet is withdrawn from ATI :( [01:30] EvaLuaTe, you need to stop GDM first - see my steps at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [01:30] Dr0nE: keep the comands sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg / sudo nvidia-xconfig handy, case getting a gibberish desktop, crtl-alt-F1 will you bring you to cmd-line if needed; now sudo rebott [01:30] EvaLuaTe: sudo service gdm stop or killall X [01:30] reboot [01:30] Jammet, the 9800 pro only works with the open source driver [01:30] Oh crap. [01:30] gnome-open [01:30] its better. [01:30] Jammet, ati dropped support for x.org > 7.4 [01:30] ATI is just awsome :) [01:30] DasEi: ok, I'll reboot and see how it goes. [01:30] ohh, ok. thanks guys [01:30] EvaLuaTe: switch to a virtual terminal (alt + f2) then sudo service gdm stop, then Xorg -configure, sudo service gdm start, alt + f7 [01:30] or ps aux [01:30] Magnetro: gave up ? [01:31] basso, now that's funny [01:31] Thats to get a list of services.. [01:31] basso, WinstonSmith: You mean it was dropped? A perfectly good, working driver was just.... dropped? What the hell? [01:31] ps aux [01:31] Jammet, im running the open source driver here and its fine [01:31] Anyone else having problem getting minitube 1.1 to work using Ubuntu 10.04? Maybe the video URL is not working since when I copy the video URL using right click menu in Minitube the URL I get doesn't even play in Firefox either. [01:31] can transmission work while you're logged out? [01:31] Jammet, look here : http://support.amd.com/de/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.12&lang=English [01:31] WinstonSmith: I am using it as well, but the 3D accleration is basically non existant. [01:31] pie_time: it has to be started somewhere, perhaps /etc//rc.local [01:32] pie_time, i don't think so [01:32] Jammet, i play q3a and other games fine ... and the video playback quality is MUCH better then the binary blob [01:32] i dont think that transmission can work while you are logged out.. [01:32] ilovefairuz, but then you can log out? [01:32] only way to find out is by trying it out. [01:32] WinstonSmith: Whenever I attempt to run anything 3D, I get Xerror messages. :( [01:32] pie_time: this script gets run at boot time, before any user logs in [01:32] howdy all [01:32] pie_time, you could use screen + a cli torrent client while you are logged out. [01:33] pie_time: yes it works logged out, you need to install transmission-daemon et al and read the docs [01:33] ZykoticK9, does it have to be screen? [01:33] WinstonSmith: It's a damn shame about the commercial drivers anyway. But please, could you help me figure out what my 3D support isn't working? [01:33] Jammet, what does glxgears give you? how many fps? [01:33] Dr0nE: so ? [01:33] pie_time: you will have to run it as a daemon, that's all. [01:33] pie_time, if you want to log out - then yes [01:33] DasEi: no go, I'm back to 640x480 and it initially failed to load X [01:33] WinstonSmith: glxgears gives me a Segfault. I am not kidding. [01:33] Jammet, that's common with ATI right now [01:34] Dr0nE: sudo nvida-settings [01:34] shirtless, i concur .. transmission FTW [01:34] pie_time: sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon transmission-cli -- that should be all you need, then check the docs [01:34] DasEi, Dr0nE use "gksu" for GUI applications - see !gksudo [01:34] Dr0nE: gui comes up ? [01:34] ZykoticK9: I've had this since 2 ubuntu upgrades ... basically since the commercial package dropped support. [01:34] DasEi: NV-CONTROL ext. not found on display but gui loads [01:35] Jammet, i have no details - i avoid ATI at all costs - but i've seen the segfault issue many times in this channel [01:35] can i play 1080 pixel video in ubuntu 10.04.by which player [01:35] Jammet, do : dmesg | grep radeon . does somthing come up? [01:35] endhiran: try vlc [01:35] DasEi: Note: dmesg is back to "API mismatch 169.12 but kernel module has version 71.86.04" [01:35] something* [01:35] DasEi: I just tried everything, obviously it's me but yeah.. [01:35] ZykoticK9: It basically happens with anything whatsoever that uses 3D in the slightest. And it's the reason why most flash videos also run at a crawls pace. And only if they're windowed. [01:35] endhiran, if you have Nvidia proprietary driver i'd check out the mplayer "vdpau" output option [01:36] Dr0nE: you know if it's a 8800 gs or gt ? [01:36] DasEi: (the reason I loaded the 71.86.04 was because it stated the kernel was expecting it.) [01:36] Magnetro: if you really can't figure it now, you can also run the pastie line by line in terminal [01:36] Jammet, i'm sorry what you are describing is, in my opinion, expected with ATI [01:36] Magnetro: http://pastebin.com/kxHg5JmX [01:36] WinstonSmith: Yeah. "fb1: radeondrmfb frame buffer device" followed by "[drm] Initialized radeon 2.0.0 20080528 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 0" [01:36] DasEi: confirmed 8800 GT per serial on card [01:37] ZykoticK9: Makes me wish I had a better card. And I was so proud of it. :( [01:37] Dr0nE: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:37] jammet yes but ""frame buffer device" not good its not using the right driver [01:37] is there anywhere I can find a list of laptops with good linux support? Or can anyone suggest a nice laptop with an i5 or better? [01:37] okay, but honestly; I'm trying to find a way to update my system [01:37] hello [01:37] DasEi: I just scrolled back up and saw the other message module license "NVIDIA" taints kernel [01:37] has anyone a tutorial, how I can install ubuntu 10.04 on a HP elitebook 8440P ? [01:38] WinstonSmith: I must admit I cannot make heads or tails of this. The Framebuffer was not X related, or was it? [01:38] back, did anyone happen to reply to me? [01:38] jammet gimme a sec doing google-fu [01:38] WinstonSmith: Thank you :). [01:38] mete: just follow the usual installation procedure [01:38] DasEi: both those seemed to not update anything. [01:39] tripelb i crashed :( [01:39] ilovefairuz: problem is, after I select "install ubutnu", the screen is black ^^ [01:39] jammet can you pastebin glxinfo plz [01:39] it's a driver problem I think [01:39] I recently upgraded from kubuntu karmic to lucid. Since that upgrade my system performance has decreased severely. Doing basically anything in Dolphin can make it hang for ~10s and I can't even run Half-Life at a stable 60fps anymore. Any ideas? === zach__ is now known as sticky [01:39] mete, "install ubuntu" from the destkop icon (of LiveCD)? [01:39] Dr0nE: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current --dry-run, what does it suggest ? [01:39] WinstonSmith: Sure. [01:39] !manual | mete [01:39] you just normaly burn the cd, put it in your pc, configure it to boot from cd/dvd and follow the instructions [01:39] mete: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:40] ZykoticK9: no, from the installer. I can't boot the live cd... same problem --> black screen [01:40] wassssup [01:40] mete, ya figured. Good luck man. [01:40] DasEi: Any chance this could be caused by an argument passed to kernel at boot since this all started when grub-pc altered the menu.lst file? [01:40] WinstonSmith: Although, I do not need pastebin for what it says. "name of display: :0.0" "Segmentation fault" [01:40] mete: http://blog.triumphovermadness.com/2010/05/ubuntu-1004-lts-on-hp-elitebook-8440p.html [01:40] jammet ok do : sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-core then reboot [01:40] WinstonSmith: And that is all it does. [01:40] Im white [01:41] DasEi: That returns "package not found: nvidia-current" [01:41] jammet ok do : sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-core then reboot [01:41] Dr0nE: hmm, not really, if you just changed grub, there will be no plymouth [01:41] WinstonSmith: Doing that. I'll reconnect after it's finished. [01:41] Jammet, kkk [01:41] DasEi: I ran them line by line,and i'm assuming it's a success [01:41] i think i [01:42] it's a success [01:42] ilovefairuz: I will try, thanls [01:42] sure [01:42] DasEi: The reason I was asking was because before grub-pc nvidia driver was working fine. Also, I am not sure if this has something todo with it but I see an error on the screen at X attempts to load and falls back to console login relating to "init" [01:42] Magnetro: sweet, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:43] whats up remoteCtrl3?

[01:46] yes, sorry, Dr0nE [01:46] Hi everyone. Is anyone able to tell me or direct me to a guide to get Pidgin working with Tor so I can connect to Freenode? Using 10.04 [01:46] WinstonSmith: I'm back. Quickly ran glxinfo. Sadly, no change. Still the Segfault. [01:46] . [01:46] DasEi: http://pastebin.ca/1928069 [01:46] anyway I can have a drop down menu for my music folder [01:46] Gwar: ask #freenode about that [01:47] hey [01:47] a drawer is a bad solution [01:47] DasEi: The only error I see is that glx extension failed [01:47] sorry, my lil' bro was on [01:47] i apologies for him [01:48] Jammet, do a : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg plz [01:48] WinstonSmith: But there is more info if I grep dmesg for radeon, now: http://pastebin.ca/1928070 [01:48] Dr0nE: it's vesa [01:48] Jammet, ok will look [01:48] freenode has ssl support, and you can have your host masked from other users with a cloak, [01:48] DasEi: oh? [01:48] Gwar: ^ [01:48] WinstonSmith: Thanks. Should I do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg regardless? [01:48] Yes but that's not as good as tor xD [01:48] Dr0nE: so before we go in binary or package-guessing, I suggest trying envy [01:49] Jammet, yes. at least now its not in framebuffer mode anymore [01:49] DasEi, is this command updating my entire system? [01:49] DasEi: so vesa is messing with it? [01:49] can some one help me set up a compose key for the symbol ">" , I'm using .XCompose [01:49] hi how can i prevent linux-image from ever being installed (it is not currently installed) [01:49] it's bee downloading for a while now. [01:49] og01: why would you want to do that? [01:50] og01: you can use apt to pin versions of packages [01:50] WinstonSmith: I've issued the command. What will it do? No output. [01:50] Lo!!! [01:50] og01: it will then be ignored in updates [01:50] Dr0nE: should be least nv, ifnot nvidia-glx, idk whats going on there, sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [01:50] why would you want to do that og01¿ [01:50] ilovefairuz: i have a custom install of ubuntu with a custom kernel, installing linux-image breaks things [01:50] xangua: ^^ [01:50] ActionParsnip, how do you restart the xserver without ctrl-alt-backspace in lucid plz? [01:50] Magnetro: so system is now updated ? no further errors ? [01:51] Jammet, 1 sec [01:51] og01: call the custom package linux-image and pin it [01:51] xangua: ilovefairuz: i am with ovh i did not make this custom ubuntu install [01:51] Okay. === Mike is now known as Guest32863 [01:51] WinstonSmith: sudo service gdm restart [01:51] og01: it will get pulled because virtual packages depend on it [01:51] dasei with x loaded ? [01:52] WinstonSmith: yes, but will log you off temparly === Guest32863 is now known as Doodah [01:52] dasei danke [01:52] DasEi, it's still in the process but so good so far. [01:52] WinstonSmith, FYI it's alt+sysrq+k in Lucid to restart X (by default) [01:52] Magnetro: good sign, call my nick when ready [01:52] Jammet, do : sudo service gdm restart [01:52] after upgrading to 10.04, i lost my svido. still have vga. any idea how to get svideo back? [01:52] ZykoticK9, thx [01:53] ok [01:53] WinstonSmith: Okay. [01:53] Dr0nE: ? [01:53] WinstonSmith: i think its right alt + k + print screen but you can re-enable CAB in the keyboard options [01:53] DasEi: sorry, I did a quick search on google about nvidia/vesa. seems there is a kernel command "-vesa" ? [01:54] Dr0nE: vesa is a generic driver [01:54] ActionParsnip, actually any ALT will do ;) === zero is now known as Guest56178 [01:54] ActionParsnip, yes i have that just did not want to walk through that with Jammet :| thx [01:54] DasEi: I believe that might be the reason it crashed after grub altered the menu.lst. It probably removed that tag from the first time fighting to get nvidia working [01:55] Dr0nE: I doubt it's your menu list, it's your xserver [01:55] ZykoticK9: oh, thought it was right specific. I always re-enable CAB because its worked for so long and it's weird its been changed [01:55] DasEi: let me to a quick reboot and write down the init message I see. [01:55] Dr0nE: noo.. no need [01:56] Dr0nE: dmesg | tail or gedit /var/log/syslog [01:56] WinstonSmith: Done, and I'm back. [01:56] /clhttp://pastebin.ca/1928069 [01:56] DasEi: that doesn't show up there for some odd reason. [01:56] Dr0nE: rather try envy one time, else try a 185 for it, check initramfs, update grub again [01:57] Any help out there for a total newibie to Ubuntu and Linux in general? [01:57] jammet what about glxgears now? [01:57] can someone explain to me why the indicator applet is taking roughly 8 icons' worth of space in the task bar? [01:57] WinstonSmith: No change I'm afraid. [01:57] Doodah: What do you want help with? [01:57] Doodah, whats the problem [01:57] Dr0nE: installed envy-gtk ? [01:57] DasEi: i never completely loaded grub-pc as it detected grub was already loaded on mbr. The woe was that it didnt backup menu.lst before writing it's version as it dropped my windows boot [01:58] I easily downloaded and installed the O/S but cannot get online no matter what I try [01:58] DasEi: not found [01:58] Doodah: ok wireless problem? [01:58] Yes [01:58] WinstonSmith: I can see there's probably no point to this. 3D support seems to be broken entirely for me. Why it's like that for some, and not for all users of this card, I don't know. But thank you for trying to help. [01:58] Doodah: tons. a good place to start would be the ubuntu documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/ [01:58] !wireless | Doodah [01:58] Doodah: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:58] Dr0nE: envyng-gtk [01:58] Jammet, no you some messed up config [01:58] DasEi: looked up. its installed now [01:59] Dr0nE: sudo envyng-gtk [01:59] I'll have a look. Thanks. [01:59] Jammet, if you google around you see a lot of ppl who «have it working [01:59] WinstonSmith: I have never modified anything about system related files. [01:59] Jammet, i believe you [01:59] I recently upgraded from kubuntu karmic to lucid. Since that upgrade my system performance has decreased severely. Doing basically anything in Dolphin can make it hang for ~10s and I can't even run Half-Life at a stable 60fps anymore. Any ideas? [01:59] DasEi: several warnings but gui loaded [01:59] WinstonSmith: Maybe it's because I never did a fresh install and always "upgraded" the system instead. [01:59] anyone know how to use the file browser applet? [01:59] Dr0nE: if it offers any removals, do that first [02:00] Dr0nE: which warnings ? [02:00] jammet pastebin your xorg.conf pls [02:00] DasEi: ok, it dumped glx-new and loaded nvidia-mesa driver [02:00] Sure, but it basically only consists of defaults, and it's tiny. Hold on. [02:00] DasEi: several libglade-WARNING **: could not find a parent that handles internal children for `vbox' === brian__ is now known as OrnateHybrid [02:01] DasEi: after nvidia removal, it asks to reboot. [02:01] Hello [02:01] Doodah: so you can some how try to get it working natively, or possibly use a Windows driver with Ndiswrapper [02:01] Dr0nE: old distros are so nice.. hardy had no dkms in default, umm, yes [02:01] So [02:01] WinstonSmith: http://pastebin.ca/1928075 [02:01] Dr0nE: reboot [02:01] I've been able to get my Ubuntu 10.04 to recognize and mount my iPod Touch [02:02] DasEi: ok, back in a minute [02:02] and I can play music from the iPod Touch through Rhythm Box [02:02] but I can't sync to my iPod [02:02] I get this funky error [02:02] Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.60 was not provided by any .service files [02:02] Anyone know anything about this? :S [02:02] jammet do a sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old && sudo service gdm restart [02:04] Anyone? [02:04] DasEi: ok, back to full res again. [02:04] ;-) [02:04] DasEi: and the error never showed (it was a kinit failed to recover message) [02:05] WinstonSmith: Done. [02:05] I looked around on google before, and supposedly ipod touch syncing was impossible because Apple makes it so that the ipod touch is recognized by computers as a "digital camera" [02:05] *on ubuntu [02:05] w [02:05] DasEi: nvidia driver isn't loaded though (never ran the install in envy) [02:06] Jammet, does your xorg now looks diffeernt? [02:06] Dr0nE: one last word, the x-system recently , next to the init has changed in so many ways, I feel hard to go back, and espically that nvidia is flawless through newer distros.. upgrade system , can go directly 8.04 > 10.04 [02:06] WinstonSmith: Now xorg.conf is gone. It's not been re-created automatically, but X works and nothing seems to have been affected about it. [02:07] DasEi: so basicly, you don't think 3d drivers will work effectively now? [02:07] Dr0nE: if you want to stay with hardy, I#d recommend you to use the propitary driver, least the 185, ifnot 195 [02:07] DasEi: ok [02:07] Dr0nE: but from remote one can easy mess up [02:08] Jammet, do a : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again to see if it recreates it [02:08] i have a problem with America's Army game, i try to login in the game but it say my internet connection is down [02:09] WinstonSmith: It doesn't recreate that. [02:09] Guys, i have installed libimobiledevices with Squeeze, and i have a 2.30 rhytmbox, but i don't know why, rhytmbox don't recognize my ipod touch 8GB [02:09] WinstonSmith: Could it be that the current X doesn't need xorg.conf anymore? I read that it was heading that way. [02:09] DasEi: i'll see how it goes. thank's for the help [02:09] you cant use anything other than itunes for an ipod touch. Apple has made it this way [02:09] did one of you ubuntu guys know what must be wrong, since 10.04 works well? [02:09] User-007: What version of iOS is your iPod Touch on? === shark is now known as Guest30756 [02:10] Jammet, it doesnt but i thought it would recreate it [02:10] Dr0nE: but you will have to go the installer way, with sources/headers , build-essential in front and nvidia-xconfig afterwards for best results-- and no idea for hardy noo more [02:10] as of now I do not know of any way to sync an ipod touch through linux [02:10] Jammet, but still segfault with glxgears? [02:10] WinstonSmith: Yes. [02:10] DasEi: ok [02:10] OrnateHybrid, 4.0 with Jailbreak [02:10] Ok [02:10] You're in the same situation as I was I think then [02:11] Mine is a 3rd gen 32 GB 4.0 with JB [02:11] I'll go grab a link for you [02:11] 1 minute [02:11] ty [02:11] Dr0nE: nvidia released newer drivers, that won't work with that recent xorg-system, but the older ones like 185 should still do [02:11] jammet im sry but i am at the end of my knowledge ... maybe you should try #xorg or #radeon to expose your problem or ask someone here with more wisdom then me :| [02:11] HungrymaN: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/sync-iphone-and-ipod-touch-in-ubuntu.html [02:12] User-007: Try following these instructions: http://maketecheasier.com/sync-rhythmbox-with-ios4-0/2010/08/11 [02:12] Jammet, cause im sure were just missing something .. its not your card [02:12] WinstonSmith: You tried your best and I'm glad I asked. So no worries. :) [02:12] hey there, i was in here the other day because i was having problems with my dvd drive not mounting in ubuntu 10.04 64-bit [02:12] wow, things change fast... [02:12] now, i've found a different issue associated with it [02:12] WinstonSmith: Possibly, but with the packages required installed - what could there be that's missing? All it takes is X and the driver. That should be it. [02:13] Jammet, cause at the beginning you had it in framebuffer mode. which definitly will give you no 3D whatsoever [02:13] Jammet: you can use an xorg.conf but by default ubuntu uses udev. if one exists it will be obeyed [02:13] i have a problem with America's Army game, i try to login in the game but it say my internet connection is down [02:13] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the info. [02:13] MaMoUs: have you configured a firewal on the system? [02:13] ActionParsnip, any ideas about Jammets problem? [02:14] WinstonSmith: I believe I had the same output at the beginning, but everything except the last 2 lines were already gone from demsg. It's been running for weeks. [02:14] ActionParsnip: no i did not, and i check if it is enable or no it was off [02:14] User-007: Also, do you have a passcode lock set on your iPod Touch? [02:14] WinstonSmith: not sure [02:14] ActionParsnip: do u know how i could fix it ? [02:15] MaMoUs: can you ping the server ip / name? [02:15] The computer refused to suspend because there was a cd in the dvd drive [02:15] ActionParsnip, cause at the bginning he had it in FB mode .... but now the driver loads but still :( [02:15] Whenever conky first starts up (at login) it is placed above all other windows. If I kill it and start it again it goes below everything just fine, how can I fix this? I have tried "sleep"ing before it loads, but it doesn't work. My conkyrc: http://pastebin.com/3bbMUZFJ [02:15] WinstonSmith: I've had another problem that I was going to ask about, which was video (xv overlay) related. [02:15] WinstonSmith: Maybe that one is easier to solve. [02:15] Jammet, not my field im afraid [02:16] WinstonSmith: Ah, alright. Maybe I'll ask the 'room' then: [02:16] Jammet, good luck :D [02:16] when I try to enable the explode window animation in compiz settings manager it isn't listed....does anyone know what package it would be in [02:16] When I watch videos, often I see a large strange triangle shaped video distortion in the top right corner. [02:17] Has anyone else ever seen that and knows the cause? [02:17] Jammet: Are you in the Bermuda Triangle? [02:17] OrnateHybrid: Nope. [02:17] extraclassic, compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [02:17] Then I have no idea [02:17] OrnateHybrid, humm i think there is no libimobiledevice1 [02:18] What? [02:18] Did you add the repository? [02:18] Like the guide said? [02:18] It looks like the video has a small delay, but only for a portion of the screen, which happens to be the shape of a triangle. It's a really strange looking effect but happens many times. [02:18] User-007: If you don't add the repository like the guide says and type the commands just like they say [02:18] it won't work [02:19] traskmind: I think that has to do with the sequence things are started at logon. You might try adding conky to .profile or .login or .bashrc (I forget which one(s) ubuntu uses. BTW...there has been a good series on configuring conky at linuxtoday.com [02:19] Jammet: no solution from me, but question [02:19] when was 10.04 released? [02:19] hummm [02:19] Aimee: Yes? [02:19] Does the triangle inhibit your ability to see that section of video [02:19] ariqs april [02:19] User-007: thanks, I'm still running hardy. [02:19] ariqus: The version number is the release date [02:19] if I want to install 10.04, should I just format the hardy partition first? [02:20] ariqs: Did you try dist-upgrade? [02:20] ariqs, you can try a direct upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 as well [02:20] Aimee: I can still see it, but it appears to be ... ... it's like a really strong vsync problem that's triangle shaped. Hard to explain with words. You can see the part of the video but it lags. [02:20] Jammet: If you can't explain it with words, why not take a screenshot? [02:21] OrnateHybrid: I cannot take a screenshot of an xv'd video? Or can I? [02:21] Not sure [02:21] It'd be just black. [02:21] I think I've messed with my hardy too much. I was compiling all sorts of things on my own because it was so outdated [02:21] The only way to find out is to try? :D [02:21] hey DasEi [02:21] Magnetro : apt is through ? [02:22] no.. [02:22] but what is the update this is? [02:22] Daekdroom: I thought that "upgrading" Ubuntu required that you upgrade to each major release prior to getting to the one you want. Is that wrong? [02:22] OrnateHybrid: When I press screenshot function keys on mplayer, totem or whatever, it'll not take an actual screenshot with that flaw visible. Doesn't work that way. [02:22] I keep seeing flashes of 8.3 [02:22] Jammet: Got a digital camera? xD [02:22] or whatever, shouldn't it be 10. something? [02:23] OrnateHybrid: Nope. At least none that can take a high quality image to explain it. I could do a mock-up. [02:23] TuxPaint? Lol [02:23] Magnetro: no, you keep hardy, but least with latest patches [02:23] how do I download from here? [02:23] !updates [02:23] !fail [02:23] oh, ok [02:23] SchzawLuke209: what? [02:23] !update > Magnetro [02:23] Magnetro, please see my private message [02:24] how do I find channels to download music and movies? [02:24] lol [02:24] lol [02:24] this place is so useful.. [02:24] anyway, is that how I should go about it? Just simply format the entire ubuntu partition, or is there a more reserved way that gurantees a clean install? [02:24] SchzawLuke209: this channel is for ubuntu support... piracy is *not* on-topic here [02:24] I've never go back to windows ever -.-'' [02:24] SchzawLuke209: If you're looking for pirated music/videos, go to your local police station and askt hem [02:24] I cant turn on my PC [02:25] SchzawLuke209: ubuntu isos ? else change the server [02:25] its dead [02:25] yea I got that with the whole ubuntu chat channel [02:25] we revoke crime here [02:25] OrnateHybrid: that is not a police issue that is more federal level. As Copyright infringement is a federal offense [02:25] hiexpo: rebuke [02:25] Magnetro: until it crashes [02:25] True [02:26] But not everyone has a local FBI station [02:26] lol. [02:26] So most likely you'd have to report it to the police [02:26] not in México [02:26] who would refer it to the FBI [02:26] Not everyone lives in the U of SA [02:26] glad to see theres still a bunch of faggots in the internet thanx for nothing [02:26] * WinstonSmith hands SchzawLuke209 a cookie [02:26] you never know there might be one in here [02:26] this channel loads by default too its not like I came here on purpose [02:26] SchzawLuke209: we're not IN the internet. [02:26] 1,2.. [02:27] moron [02:27] SchzawLuke209: are you talking to the mirror again? [02:27] oh my! [02:27] DasEi: it's done [02:27] SchzawLuke209: Why don't leave then [02:27] Clearly you have no real reason for being here [02:27] Let us be civil. [02:27] It's asking I restart the system. [02:27] bukkake [02:27] * WinstonSmith SchzawLuke209 go play with your toys [02:27] YEAH!! [02:27] !language DrManhattan [02:27] Magnetro : sudo apt-get autoremove [02:28] thats what she said [02:28] OrnateHybrid: I am saying that local police cant do anything about it. :/ still wrong but it is on a federal level. That is why VHS Beta DVDs all display the federal warnings :P anyhow were off topic [02:28] what does that mean? [02:28] Magnetro : remove obsolete packages [02:28] how come i'm not restarting the computer? [02:29] Hmm [02:29] ok [02:29] IMHO i hate computers. [02:29] Maybe [02:29] Magnetro :it's linux [02:29] if I restart my computer [02:29] Magnetro: sounds like you just got a new kernel, you need to reboot to use the new one [02:29] My PC is dead, for some reason it wont start [02:29] Magnetro: you dont HAVE to reboot though [02:29] Licuadora: These days that's like saying "I hate the wheel". [02:29] Licuadora: You should give it a proper funeral [02:29] Office Space style [02:30] NO!!... My only toy!!!

A mock-up of the effect. [02:30] I accidently deleted a file off my Windows 7 partition called wedalou or something like that, now grub refuses to boot windows 7 [02:30] Now i have to wite in my wife's pink netbook [02:30] says the file is missing error 15 [02:30] write] [02:31] Magnetro : sudo apt-get autoremove was the last command [02:31] in compiz settings manager, I can see extra animations listed under Animations Add-On, but they aren't available under Animations so I don't know how to enable the extras [02:31] now what [02:31] http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/5227/housemdu.jpg <--- This looks about the same as the distortion I get during video playback. Annoying. Anyone else have that? [02:31] I have a 5-in-1 card reader built into my laptop, but when I put in an xD card from digital camera it doesn't appear, but an old SD card does work - is this xD not supported, or do I need to do something to make it work? === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [02:32] I'm trying to run nautilus as root [02:32] it's stalled 10 times in a row [02:32] nevermind....some button i clicked must've worked [02:32] Magnetro : sudo hwinfo > /home/Bison/Desktop/hwinfo.txt && pastebinit -b http://pastebin.ca /home/Bison/Desktop/hwinfo.txt [02:32] so how do I get grub working again? [02:32] I feel like punching babies, someone help [02:33] it boots my windows xp partition fine, it just happened after i deleted that file [02:33] I have very slow performance when I move a window around on a netbook, an acer One (somewhat earlier) I know the video ram is quite weak on it. Is there a trick to get a lot better performance out of it (all effects are already off). [02:33] Magnetro : give url so I can tell something about your box [02:33] what do you mean? [02:33] Taev: which file ? [02:34] c:\wedalou.txt [02:34] or something like that [02:34] I am trying to run the lkl keylogger but it does not accept any keymap file, I always get: unable to find UPPER case keymap file, check it! [02:34] when i select Windows 7 under grub to boot i get "error 15 wedalou file missing" [02:34] does anyone know another keylogger? I need it to find out which command a function key issues [02:34] i saw a project called Alauda - which says it has made xD card work, but is this in ubuntu? [02:35] realcoolguy: About all you can do there is add ram, or swap the HDD for a faster one. [02:35] JanCBorchardt: use 'xev' ..it will detect keypresses [02:35] DasEi: ehh, it says no such file or directory.. [02:36] PeskyJ: least no such package [02:36] greezmunkey, I appreciate the sentiment, but Ram is good, it actually has a lot since it came with vista pre-installed. However it almost feels like I don't have the graphical drivers going. I think they are intel drivers. Ram and CPU are not my bottlenecks. [02:36] Magnetro : sudo apt-get install hwinfo [02:36] realcoolguy, greezmunkey, you can try using a system theme with faster rendering [02:36] Jammet: That is really weird lol [02:36] Magnetro : sudo hwinfo > /home/Bison/Desktop/hwinfo.txt && pastebinit -b http://pastebin.ca /home/Bison/Desktop/hwinfo.txt [02:36] It took me awhile to find the triangle, but I found it [02:36] ^ one long cmd [02:36] realcoolguy: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [02:36] DasEi: is that the only project that makes xD work? [02:36] Are there any triangles like that in any of your other programs/windows? O.o [02:37] DasEi: you can just run: sudo hwinfo | pastebinit [02:37] bastid_raZor, oh, thanks – that’s what I needed but it does not log this specific function key (it does log volume up / down etc. though) [02:37] DasEi: or to be really flashy: sudo hwinfo | pastebinit | xclip ;) [02:37] OrnateHybrid: Believe me, once you see it in motion it becomes annoying real quick. [02:37] ActionParsnip: it's the hardy paster, that complains over two many lines in pipe [02:37] realcoolguy: That was the best I could do with the info you provided. If you think the drivers a borked, fix them! [02:37] DasEi: ahhhh i see [02:37] maybe it is not even the right thing because I think it is for external card reader, this is internal TI chipset 5-ib-1 reader [02:38] ActionParsnip: pastebin.caaaaah [02:38] Kind of stumped here. I just installed VMWare Player and after a reboot the launcher was no longer in the Applications menu. I look at the System section in the menu editor and it's not there either. Anyone know what's going on? [02:38] bastid_raZor, it is a function to switch off the backlight LED of the power button. Do you know anything that could help? [02:38] JanCBorchardt: Try acpi_listen to check whether that key generates an acpi event. [02:38] DasEi: if you pipe the url to xclip it will be ready to paste :) [02:38] bash: /home/Bison/Desktop/hwinfo.txt: No such file or directory [02:38] ActionParsnip: you make magn.. try ;-) ?? [02:38] OrnateHybrid: No, this effect is unique to Linux video playback ... [02:38] ActionParsnip: I know the video ram is really low for this intel model, and my lspci lists an intel compatible VGA controller. However I remember once upon a time hearing about some trick in gnome to really free up something that helps a lot in my situation. I guess not bookmarking never pays off. [02:39] DasEi: my smileys are noseless freaks [02:39] JanCBorchardt: i do not. [02:39] Magnetro: you know how to manually paste ? [02:39] !paste [02:39] realcoolguy: the command will tell you exactly what it is, can you give the exact output please, can you also give the make and model netbook [02:39] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[02:40] I've been keying what you tell me to put into the CL [02:40] realcoolguy: the model of acer one will be on the bottom [02:40] Magnetro: call http://paste.ubuntu.com in browser [02:40] OrnateHybrid: exactly [02:40] famicube64, look at system>prefernces>main menu and disable & reenable the entry [02:40] Magnetro: enter sudo hwinfo in terminal [02:40] wea0, acpi_listen does not print anything for both simple character keys and function keys. Am I missing something? [02:40] Magnetro: copy the terminal output to browser [02:41] I tired that, VMWare isn't there anymore [02:41] my internet browser is gone [02:41] o.o [02:41] Magnetro: firefox in terminal [02:41] err..how? [02:41] JanCBorchardt: It works only for special keys that generate acpi events. If your key doesn't do that, then it won't show up in acpi_listen. [02:41] Magnetro: enter firefox [02:41] sudo apt-get firefox [02:41] ohh [02:41] anyone in here using GnoMenu with 10.04 [02:42] sudo apt-get install firefox , there by default, magnetro [02:42] wea0, ok, do you know any other option? [02:42] no [02:43] hey [02:43] hey [02:43] wea0, bastid_raZor: Thanks anyway :) [02:43] it says it downloaded firefox, yet I don't see it.. [02:43] Magnetro: copy the info from hwinfo to http://paste.ubuntu.com, add your name, press post, give url from browser here [02:43] someone already fix the problem with mobile media converter on linux mint, if you did it please helme how to [02:43] ???

Thanks for trying to help. [02:51] magnetro: you call the upgrade-manager, but what about your hardware ? [02:52] both of my computers are named "ubuntu" and and I cant get either computer to show up on the other's network! [02:52] what do you mean Dasei?

[02:58] pie_time: you should mount the share...it'd be easier than using the network browser [02:58] I am currently running ubuntu server 10.4 as a lamp server. It is behind a firewall, but i am looking for something software wise that will allow me to configure any attempts to access the SSH port or ftp port and ban the ip address after a few attempts. Is there one out there that can do that for me? [02:58] bastidrazor, is my system screwed now? [02:58] DasEi: what happens if I restart my computer? [02:59] DigitalDeviant: fail2ban can do this. [02:59] I recently upgraded from kubuntu karmic to lucid. Since that upgrade my system performance has decreased severely. Doing basically anything in Dolphin can make it hang for ~10s and I can't even run Half-Life at a stable 60fps anymore. Any ideas? [02:59] is fail2ban apart of apt-get ? [02:59] magnetro: you will possibly reboot in a newer kernel, though won't "see" any difference [02:59] DigitalDeviant: yes. [02:59] bastidrazor, is my system screwed now? [02:59] whot [02:59] pretty easy to setup as well? [02:59] BAd? [02:59] *Bad? [02:59] where is the security apps ircs? [03:00] DigitalDeviant: it's a soft-packe with safe defaults [03:00] package [03:00] DigitalDeviant: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-16589.html [03:00] wea0 sounds like you need to get your graphics drivers going again. run glxgears from a terminal and tell me if they are running smoothly. (Nvidia or ATI install if they aren't running right) [03:00] Thanks ActionParsnip [03:00] magnetro: no, can do it [03:01] pie_time: no, you need to have /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match for your hostname.. you may need to boot to command prompt to fix since sudo is broken. [03:01] won't lose anything either right, lol. [03:01] Hey guys. Seems like a weird request but I need help uninstalling GRUB and making Windows' MBR fix itself. [03:01] guys where are the IRCs for hacking and stuff? [03:01] realcoolguy: Driver is working; 60000f/5s [03:01] bastidrazor, there's nothing in /etc/hostname.conf that has anything to do with hosts [03:01] Is anyone able to help me with ibus? [03:01] gh0st: google knows [03:02] ive searched on google and the forums [03:02] and tried everything but it still doesnt work for me [03:02] yea I knew it [03:02] wea0: Well THAT is interesting now isn't it? :) [03:02] pie_time: i did not say /etc/hostname.conf but i did say "/etc/hostname" [03:02] SupraMKIII: Windows overrides grub, so you could install linux first, then windows and it'd be the main bootloader.....don't know how other than that [03:02] well [03:02] does someone here know about security ? [03:03] DigitalDeviant: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban [03:03] extraclassic: Here's the scenario. I had installed both Windows and Ubuntu, then got rid of the partition Ubuntu was on. Now Grub won't load anything correctly and I just want Windows back. [03:04] pie_time, in a terminal, type "hostname" and see what it returns. Then type "cat /etc/hosts" and see what name it shows for address 127.0.1.1. These should both be the same for sudo to work. If they are not, reboot into recovery mode and edit one or the other. In recovery mode you will be "root" so won't need sudo to do the edits. [03:04] gh0st: hacking ? there is #bash, security in which matter ? [03:04] apparently the smuxi irc client grabs your real name and automatically connects you to irc channels the first time you start it, geez [03:04] thanks for your help guys, i really appreciate it [03:04] SupraMKIII: so you only have windows now but grub is still in the MBR? [03:05] SupraMKIII: either keep using grub or use a tool as fixmbr [03:05] extraclassic: Yes [03:05] DasEi: I'm trying fixmbr now, hopefully it'll work. [03:05] hello everyone, has anyone met this problem of mine? I copy a file using the terminal from location A to B, then after that I can see it using ls, check it content using cat but can't open it using vi/nano/emacs/gedit/whatever [03:05] is there a way to move all the files [03:05] they all say 'new file' [03:05] from one folder to another using terminal? [03:05] not one by one [03:05] but ed works :-/ [03:06] WXZ: yes, -r option [03:06] DasEi: Thanks a ton, fixmbr seems to have worked! [03:06] WXZ: man rsync [03:06] SupraMKIII: can you access that partition in windows, or is it just sitting there [03:06] ok [03:06] CoconutCrab: what are the permissions for the file? You could try a sudo vi on the file for fun. [03:06] CoconutCrab: is it writable by your username [03:07] realcoolguy and ActionParsnip: Yes, its permission is 644 [03:07] so I can write to it [03:10] I am trying to upload files to Apache on Ubuntu but it keeps telling me the permissions are wrong, any ideas on how to change parms? [03:10] CoconutCrab: what is output in terminal when you open it in nano (except the file opening ./ not opening) [03:10] Crankygeek: That'd be chmod, Bob. [03:10] this is the second time I meet this problem, the last time it went away when I restart the computer [03:10] ActionParsnip: it says 'New file' [03:11] while I can see it using ls or its content via cat [03:11] does jamin work for anyone on lucid [03:11] SupraMKIII: you're gonna have a useless partition sitting there that windows won't be able to see...you might be able to use gparted or something and reformat it to FAT32 or NTFS so you could store files there and all that [03:12] hello. I have 3 weird partitions that show up on livecd file browser, but with names like 1lk352j. What got screwed up and what utility can I use to set these volumes straight again? [03:12] CoconutCrab: all I can suggest is log a bug [03:12] danielsavage: the name is quite transient. Is the data on them ok [03:12] Crankygeek: Be careful to get this right, but to change owener and group recursively on a directory structure you can do this: chown -R /Some/Path/Here/And/Make/Sure/Its/Not / or /home or something stupid. [03:12] !label | danielsavage [03:12] danielsavage: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [03:12] one is ubuntu, the other is a corrupted ubuntu and the last is vista [03:12] I am not sure what I should change the permissions to, to be able to upload to Apache, I would just like to add my username, so that the site stays secure [03:12] ActionParsnip: yes, maybe I should do so [03:12] data is okay [03:13] * CoconutCrab is wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that he encrypt his home [03:13] Crankygeek: Be careful to get this right, but to change owner and group recursively on a directory structure you can do this: chown -R Username:Groupname /Some/Path/Here/And/Make/Sure/Its/Not / or /home or something stupid. [03:13] Sorry [03:13] trying to remove ubuntu and grub and rewrite a windows mbr on a dual booted laptop so I can give it back to my dad [03:13] can anyone help me with ibus? I have searched on google and tried all the methods and it still doesnt work for me [03:13] does anyone know how to do this [03:14] ubottu: this is one internal drive with 3 partitions [03:14] forge_: just reinstall windows and repartition everything [03:14] I don't have a windows install disk [03:14] or a recovery disk [03:14] forge_: Boot a dos disk and format c: [03:14] forge: or delete ubu from windows and run fixmbr [03:14] Is there any way within Ubuntu to run a command and perhaps see who's connected to my apache/ubuntu web server? [03:15] can I do something from a live cd of ubuntu [03:15] Roasted: who [03:15] Huu, horrid thought. DOS :P [03:15] gparted shows that the whole volume dev/sda is unallocated [03:15] forge_: yes, can give it back empty [03:15] Yeah, gparted is the way to go [03:15] I would love to use something like ms-sys [03:16] but I tried it and I still have problems [03:16] Roasted: look at the access logs of apache? [03:16] I got ride of the partition and tried to write a new mbr to the partition with ms-sys [03:17] and tried to reboot then grub still showed up I think I must have done it wrong [03:18] well anyways the computer hangs at grub start up [03:18] bastidrazor, do you know offhand where theyre located? [03:18] DasEi, I can not give it back empty [03:18] Roasted: /var/log/apache2/ [03:18] can anyone help me with ibus? I have searched on google and tried all the methods and it still doesnt work for me [03:18] forge_: Cant you just install windoz on it and itll wipe averything irregardless of users choise ? :) [03:19] everything [03:19] Hopsa, if I had a windows disk [03:19] I'm having a problem I've never run into on apache2+php5. http://localhost/index.php loads fine, but just http://localhost/ downloads the script itself, rather than parsing through php as it should... [03:19] forge_: if you just removee grub, win won't boot, else need a win recovery-cd , ask in #windows [03:19] forge_: Use gparted, its a very nice media handling tool. [03:19] Hopsa, i know [03:20] forge_: Or perhaps help your father with Linux ? [03:20] hey [03:20] Hopsa, but I don't think it will write a windows mbr [03:20] Hopsa, and that is a lost cause [03:20] is there a way to save a list of installed programs in synaptic package manager for when i reinstall ubuntu? [03:21] forge_: It will write vfat etc, np. [03:21] write them down on paper? [03:21] !clone > Rob235 [03:21] Rob235, please see my private message [03:21] Rob235: look at aptoncd [03:21] Hopsa, write a new one so I would lose the partition [03:21] !clone | Rob235 [03:21] Rob235: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [03:22] thanks [03:22] sry, not seen, IdleOne [03:22] DasEi: no worries [03:22] after i reinstall everything should i copy over my home folder? [03:22] forge_: Yes, how else do you think you could put windoz on the partition. Maybe if you had Linux running on vfat, but noone would want that slow FS. [03:22] or could that have bad results [03:23] Rob235: you might consider, if you had a separate /home you could reinstall / and leave /home intact [03:23] Rob235: so you might want to set it up that way for the reinstall...just in case [03:23] Rob235: backing up/ copying home folder is no problem, as there are no configs for usual, seperate /home eases it, can then keep it at next re-install [03:23] !separatehome | Rob235 [03:23] The gparted will not let me relabel these [03:23] Rob235: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [03:23] thanks for the help [03:24] is there a console tool to check the validity of a disk via smart or whatever? [03:24] i hope i have enough space to backup my home dir, i think i do [03:24] Hopsa, well I was hoping I could use the existing windows partition [03:24] a1fa: smartmontools [03:24] thanks [03:24] can i use dd to write my home dir into an iso file to make it easier? [03:24] i dont know how dd works that well [03:25] dmesg is not reporting any issues.. i cant use cfdisk to edit the drive [03:25] forge_: Maybe if you get it to become the primary partition, or is it that already ? [03:25] dmesg reports all partitions as normal [03:25] forge_: You could edit the partition table, but its a bit tricky as its in HEX code mostlyyyyyyyyyyyy. [03:25] Rob235: could, but I'd rather use rsync, unless want to clone a parttion, faster and can be resumed/progress easier watched [03:26] i don't want graphical login. the problem i have is when i upgrade it shows up again. what is the best way to get rid of it forever? [03:26] Hopsa, well I just need to rewrite the mbr really [03:26] Stupid cola soaked keyboard... sorry for the extra y:s [03:26] forge_: you could try fixmbr to get the windows bootloader then use gparted to format the linux partition to NTFS [03:26] Hi there, does anyone know the best way to resize their, currently mounted, main partition? [03:26] owen1_: headless ? [03:26] extraclassic, if I had a windows recovery disk to use fixmbr [03:26] I accidently made it too small [03:26] extraclassic, so i need something to do that in a live cd [03:26] forge_: Naah, because then your new mbr will be crated without knowledge of the partitions. [03:26] DasEi: but i use lubunu/xubuntu [03:27] crated/created [03:27] forge_: i don't know about it really but you might be able to find a download and put it on a floppy [03:27] forge_: http://robert.penz.name/221/mini-howto-restore-windows-mbrbootloader-with-linux/ [03:27] owen1_: you want no desktop or just no login ? [03:27] DasEi: what is the replacement for .xinitrc when using a graphical login? [03:27] I remember there being a tiny linux distro that just allowed you to resize partitions [03:27] forge_: Do you have another linux computer with space to hold this computers /home ? [03:27] DasEi: no graphical login [03:27] and you can stick it on a usb drive or something [03:28] anyone know what I'm talking about? [03:28] shazz-ubuntu: "parted magic" [03:28] owen1_: you can have automatic login, so it boots directly to desktop [03:28] please help: my computer is connected to my router vie ethernet, and until today everything was fine. today i can connect to the router, but not the internet. (through browser or pinging google) i have tried restarting the computer and the router [03:28] ilovefairuz: I think that's it, thanks! [03:28] DasEi: i am ok with typing the login info. i just don't want graphical one. [03:29] nesbitt: sounds like you might have an isp problem [03:29] nesbitt: sudo killall dhclient && sudo dhclient eth0 [03:29] nesbitt: ping 4.2.2.2 - do you get a reply? [03:29] Hello, I just installed Apache, I am trying to ftp some files over to the /var/www but the owner is root. how can I add my user to this folder to allow uploading to it. I am on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS....is there a graphical utility that I can use to change permissions, I am not sure on the whole chmod command [03:29] owen1_: either you start gdm (or xdm or kdm..) or you just boot to a tty, either with or without login [03:29] nesbitt: pastebin the output [03:30] !paste | nesbitt [03:30] nesbitt: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

Try what ilovefairuz mentioned to refresh your connection. [03:30] DasEi: do u know how to run apps on startup? i used .xinitrc whenever i had text-based login. [03:30] Hopsa, i don't care about what is on the drive i just need windows working it could be blank for all I care I just don't have a copy of windows to install so i need to use the existing one [03:31] Crankygeek: just change the www folder to your user and group .. sudo chmod -R $USER:www-data /var/www you can leave the $USER there. it will rename it to your [03:31] ilovefairuz: greezmunkey: "dhclient: no process found" [03:31] nesbitt: ok just: sudo dhclient eth0 [03:31] nesbitt: do this then: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:31] owen1_: either create a script in /etc/init or call by rc.local, cron is another option [03:31] ilovefairuz, I have seen this guide before and have tried both methods on the correct partition but something else is wrong [03:32] hola [03:32] forge_: A DOS floppy then or a bootable linux cd or so ? All you need to do is remove all partitions on it and format it. [03:32] !es | spartan [03:32] spartan: 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. [03:32] ilovefairuz: it appears i don't have dhclient installed, greezmunkey: "sudo: /etc/init.d/network: command not found" :S [03:32] DasEi: got it [03:32] nesbitt: sudo service networking restart [03:32] Hopsa, but that would leave me with a lack of a working windows partition [03:33] nesbitt: do this then: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:33] owen1_: if you take a look at the files in /etc/init , get the idea [03:34] forge_: you could try something in Ultimate Boot CD [03:34] !init > owen1_ [03:34] owen1_, please see my private message [03:34] extraclassic, what to be exact? [03:35] forge_: it comes with a bunch of freeware tools, so it has several for boot management...you could read about them and maybe find one that does what you need [03:35] ilovefairuz, greezmunkey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485236/ [03:36] extraclassic, I will look into this right now [03:36] nesbitt: does it work now? [03:37] nesbitt: wierd, you could try : sudo service networking restart as ilovefairuz suggested. Otherwise I would restart it. [03:37] ilovefairuz: no :( "ping: unknown host www.google.com" [03:38] nesbitt: sudo service network-manager restart [03:38] ilovefairuz, greezmunkey: from "sudo service networking restart" i get "restart: Unkown instance:" [03:38] hi. is there any way i can group recently used program shortcut in the menu for easy access like in mswin? [03:38] nesbitt: try the network-manager one [03:39] join #css [03:39] ilovefairuz: network-manager start/running, process 5064, but still no internet [03:39] extraclassic, I guess I could try a supergrub disk [03:39] nesbitt: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:39] nesbitt: pastebin: traceroute 8.8.8.8 [03:39] nesbitt: restart it, without knowing your system there is no telling how much stuff is hung, or crashed. [03:39] forge_: You say that the data on your HD is null and void and the whole disk can be formatted. Yet you feel consearned about your partitions ?. You refuse to backup the windows partitions data and format the whole HD. I call troll. [03:40] i am not able to start any applet in firefox, I am using firefox 3.6.3 and in it's plugin folder in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/plugins i even have added the libjavaplugin_oji.son file still not working. [03:40] forge_: i haven't used any of those tools, i just knew it existed.....you'll have to experiment and hopefully at least get windows to boot [03:40] Hopsa: I disagree strongly, he has an almost bootable windows system and no windows install CD, not wanting to lose everything is perfectly reasonable. [03:41] Crankygeek: paste the exact command you used. [03:41] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485236/, ilovefairuz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485239/ [03:41] forge_: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [03:41] nesbitt: traceroute6 ?? [03:42] nesbitt: why did you add "6" ? [03:42] Jordan_U: But he must get rid of the linux partition and for some reason formatting it to fat or some other windows partition table via gparted wont be enough ? [03:42] greezmunkey: i don't have traceroute installed, and autocomplete gave me traceroute6 :S [03:42] bastidrazor: I just copied and pasted the command you sent me......chmod -R $USER:www-data /var/www [03:42] nesbitt: what ubuntu version are you using? [03:42] nesbitt: you could have restarted it by now, and known for sure it wasn't just that... [03:42] Hopsa: He nees windows bootable without grub before he removes the filesytem grub's files are on. [03:42] Crankygeek: did you prepend it with sudo? [03:43] Hopsa, the thing is I need to do it today and i don't have any of the windows disk and I had a working windows partition an hour ago and I just need to get rid of windows and grub because my dad wants this laptop and he does not want ubuntu [03:43] Yes [03:43] ilovefairuz, 10.04 greezmunkey: going down for restart [03:43] Crankygeek: what was the exact error? [03:43] nesbitt: no inet but pastebin works ? pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces , route -n | pastebinit [03:43] is there *any* nice, GUI- or browser-based way to add an apt repository to someone's system? [03:43] Hopsa, and I could have just made my Ubuntu partitions smaller but i though it would be easy to remove them [03:43] DasEi: my laptop has internet, desktop doesn't [03:43] what can I use to zoom in on any application to make it bigger for me to see. I saw ezoom in google but don't see it in repository. is there something like that? [03:44] i want to push an internal apt repo to my internal ubuntu users, for whom i am a pseudo-admin [03:44] nesbitt: ic [03:44] chmod: cannot access 'matt:www-data': Noo such file exsists [03:44] MFen: synaptic === travisgriggs_ is now known as travisgriggs [03:44] MFen: The intructions on every ppa page use the GUI. [03:44] sacarlson press and hold superkey and use ur mouse wheele to zoom. [03:44] Crankygeek: my bad.. i gave you chmod when you should be using chown [03:44] Crankygeek: switch -R and $USER:www-data in that command === marcuy_ is now known as marcuy [03:44] oh and that [03:44] Jordan_U, give me a second [03:44] heh [03:45] greezmunkey: restarted, symptoms persist... [03:45] skumara: superkey? is that on the mouse? [03:45] forge_: if you can manage to boot into windows you can probably edit boot.ini to allow you to boot into a recovery console and use fixmbr [03:45] forge_: accepted. [03:46] superkey is the key in keyboard with windows sign in it. usually beside fn key in laptop. [03:46] 'sudo service module-init-tools start' not working - getting 'stop/waiting' and I still show 0C in my conky for cpu/gpu/hdd temps... [03:46] while we're at it, are there any good centralized administration toolkits for ubuntu? [03:46] skumara you mean the one between the Ctrl and Alt that should have a penguin on it? ;-) [03:47] skumara: ok that didn't seem to work so do I need compiz running for that to be operational? [03:47] sacarlson: It's the key with the superhero cape on it that many mistake for a windows logo :) [03:47] extraclassic, I just stuck at grub loading [03:47] forge_: If it had been windows 95 or 98 you could have run: sys c: from a dos floppy i guess, but to change to a new bootloader (windows nt) and still keep the partition... naah.. [03:47] extraclassic, which is why I though I could use supergrub to fix grub and just leave grub running and get into windows and not have any linux partitions [03:48] forge_: can you get to a shell and run sudo update-grub [03:48] Trying to instert kernel modules for temp sensors on my MB, and I got them detected, but can't get them started - anyone have a clue? [03:48] sacarlson, yes. compiz required. jamie_ do u actually have a keyboard with tux sitting on the superkey... [03:48] Jordan_U: I tried all those near my alt key at the bottom of my keyboard that I never used none seem to do it. [03:48] skumara well, a sticker is all it takes :-P [03:48] DasEi: pastebinit not installed, but: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485242/ [03:49] extraclassic, maybe it goes into the grub recovery shell [03:49] bastidrazor: That command went through now, but now I cannot even browse the /var/www folder......I was able to FTP a file though [03:49] skumara one with a pipe in his mouth (church of bob? old school slack, etc) [03:49] jamie_, if you type "sensors" in a terminal are the values zeros? [03:49] skumara: ok so now I will have to install my nvidia drivers and install compiz to give that a try. I just needed something in compiz that was needed before I tried it. [03:50] Crankygeek: if your user owns the directory, you shold be able to do anything you wish to it. [03:50] ZykoticK9 no, they show up.... didn't try that lol - but my conky is wonky :-/ [03:50] jamie_, i use the sensors command in my conky, an example for my CPU line looks like "CPU: ${goto 868}${execi 4 sensors | grep -A 0 'CPU Temperature' | cut -c21-24} ºC" [03:51] sacarlson, just use kmag... it will magnify the part of the screen around your mouse pointer. the super key stuff was just cool anyway.. [03:51] is there away to add a search bar to the ubuntu netbook menu? [03:51] ZykoticK9 also it doesn't show my ATI card (an HD4650) when i do 'sensors' in xterm... [03:51] nesbitt: 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 is a sign for a failed dhcp, is where the route interrupts [03:51] jamie_, no i doubt it would - sorry i'm no help with ATI stuff - good luck [03:52] so that you can just type in an app and it shows up on the right hand side [03:52] ilovefairuz, greezmunkey, DasEi: thanks for your help. any other ideas? [03:52] forge_: i found this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [03:52] ZykoticK9 Thanks for the code bit - that looks like it should help much :-) [03:52] Jordan_U, here is the pastie of the script output http://pastie.org/1123450 [03:52] Crankygeek: add your user to the www-data group. sudo adduser matt www-data :assuming your username is matt [03:53] skumara - check diff distro's for swag shops and get some stickers, and put a tux one on your mod+4 key (super, apple, command, whatever you have haha and "have a lot of fun!") [03:53] Thanks all! [03:53] DasEi: i see... i had changed that file to make my computer static ip, but it's been working for ages, then mysteriously stopped. i was using vpnc yesterday, but that couldn't hurt could it? [03:53] forge_: Is that really windows 95 that's installed? [03:53] Jordan_U, no xp [03:53] nesbitt: you can't have trouceroute6 without traceroute! [03:54] skumara: I was watching some video on youtube that they zoom in on stuf so you can read it. that must be compiz superkey thing. too late my nvidia drivers downloading and installing as we speek. [03:54] bastidrazor: Thank you very much for your help, I am the owner of it, I had to go to permissions and give myself CREATE AND DELETE permissions [03:54] Crankygeek: you're welcome. best of luck. [03:54] nesbitt: the address of eth0 seems right, connection to the router also, so it might be an mac/arp issue with the router then, restart router if it works on another line [03:54] nesbitt: traceroute is installed by default [03:54] how do i change the default java install in ubuntu 10.04? [03:54] forge_: sudo apt-get install mbr; sudo install-mbr /dev/sda [03:54] ilovefairuz: The program 'troceroute' can be found in the following packages: * traceroute * traceroute-nanog etc... [03:55] is there away to add a search bar to the ubuntu netbook menu? so that you can type in an app name and it appears on the right handside? [03:55] Jordan_U, ok not /dev/sda2 [03:55] DasEi: i have restarted the router, but problem is still there :( [03:55] and sort of mod of this menu? [03:55] Jordan_U, that was the xp partition [03:55] DasEi: trying again now, stand by [03:55] nesbitt: and another pc on the same is working ? [03:55] DasEi, yep, on my laptop with same router now [03:55] forge_: Definitely not /dev/sda2. Installing anything from ms-sys or install-mbr to the windows partition will break things. [03:55] i am unable to run any applet in firefox-3.6.3, and i java -version returns java version "1.6.0_18" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8) (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1)OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing) , i need to change default to sun java [03:56] I had an error two upgrades ago and I'm still getting a msg about it every time I use synaptic, how do I get rid of or reset the flag thats causing this to pop up? [03:56] sacarlson, i think using the superkey is cool because u cant get that in mswin. the guys in my office who still using mswin got shocked to see the things i do in my laptop and ubuntu. hahaha... it was fun teasing them [03:56] DasEi: actually i won't restart the router unless you think it's worth trying it again (save disconnecting from irc) [03:56] foureight84: i use gnome-do for searching and it's not bad....isn't exactly what you describe though [03:56] Jordan_U, ah man I did that before I came to ask on irc [03:56] pranay_09, add the partner repository then install sun's version then... [03:56] Jordan_U, well let me try the correct way [03:57] nesbitt: if you tried already, next would be firewall / hosts.deny (external isp router ??) [03:57] nesbitt: mtr 8.8.8.8 [03:57] is "^/192\./" a correct regular expression for 192.* ? [03:57] DasEi, sorry, i don't really understand what you mean. my other computers are accessing the internet fine, and this one was until today. what should i try in regards to that? [03:57] forge_: You may need to follow this guide as well then: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [03:58] bastidrazor: I hate to be a PITA, but I can see everything now, but when I load up the website, I now get a "Forbidden [03:58] You don't have permission to access /index.htm on this server." [03:58] ilovefairuz: um, something's happening, i have a list of 14hosts [03:58] nesbitt: pastebinit /etc/hosts.deny , is there a firewall installed ? [03:59] nesbitt: pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf [03:59] Jordan_U, should I get anything after the command or do i need to turn on a verbose option [03:59] extraclassic: yea, i'm using gnome-do also [03:59] forge_: If there is no output then it completed without error. [03:59] extraclassic: that's cool too [03:59] hi i have a creative Supreme FX X-Fi sound card and would like to know if i can get drivers for linux distro? I tried their website but the card isnt listed there anymore [03:59] foureight84: there' [04:00] foureight84: there's a way to index all your stuff and search with beagle [04:00] nesbitt: dig google.com [04:00] Jordan_U, so that is good ok [04:00] extraclassic: can you add beagle to the ubuntu netbook menu though? [04:00] ZykoticK9, how to add the partner repository and what is it? [04:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/485245/ [04:00] Jordan_U, let me see what happens when I reboot I am on another laptop for irc [04:01] !partner | pranay_09 [04:01] pranay_09: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [04:01] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485245/ [04:01] pranay_09, it includes Sun's java for one (and some other stuff) [04:01] foureight84: when i saw it the search bar just popped up when you hit ctrl + space, so it wasn't always there [04:01] DasEi: cat /etc/resolve.conf: "Generated by NetworkManager" and that's it [04:01] DasEi: i created /etc/init.d/local and linked it with init. now i can add inside anything i want, right? === Omni|AFK is now known as Omnifarious [04:01] Crankygeek: what are the permissions of /var/www [04:01] pranay_09, for alternative GUI steps see the Blue note at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/java [04:02] interesting, thanks extraclassic i'll look into this [04:02] DasEi: I managed to find a resolution... Ultimately I needed to get the latest driver 256.44. Just thought I would update you if you see this sort of thing again. [04:02] foureight84: you can have a search applet in awn that you can click on [04:02] Crankygeek: in terminal type : ls -hal /var/www [04:02] Jordan_U, well that what different now I got to lines when I boot mbr, mbr 123FA [04:02] ilovefairuz: timed out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485246/ [04:02] nesbitt: dig google.com @8.8.8.8 [04:02] Dr0nE: nice to hear that, wouldN#t have thought it works with hardy still [04:03] ZykoticK9, thank you [04:03] forge_: Try following http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [04:03] Jordan_U, yeah I am going to [04:03] pranay_09, glad to help :) [04:03] DasEi: I wasn't sure but thru a little digging suggested it since it supported this card. Good luck with everyone else's problems! :D [04:03] Jordan_U, thanks for all the help you and the other people that have helped me so far [04:03] owen1_: for the most part, yes you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto [04:03] ilovefairuz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485247/ [04:04] forge_: You're welcome. [04:04] nesbitt: your default dns server that the router communicates to is busted [04:04] ilovefairuz: is that something my router does? or my computer? or isp? [04:04] ilovefairuz: excuse my ignorance :P [04:05] nesbitt: most likely your isp, because the router delegates requests to it, anyhow, is it a desktop machine with graphical interface? [04:05] Jordan_U, I will get back to you on how testdisk worked in a bit it takes a bit for the laptop to boot up the live cd [04:05] anyone know how to set VLC at the default media player? [04:06] ilovefairuz: yes it is, but the machine i'm using now is on the same router, if it's an isp problem, shouldn't it affect everything in the house? [04:06] nesbitt: cat /etc/resolv.conf .. on both machines [04:06] nesbitt: nameserver 192.168.1.1 << put this in /etc/resolv.conf, this is no server nedding a domain ? [04:07] kisuke, open Nautilus, Edit menu, Preferences - Media tab - for some stuff... [04:07] I tried to install my nvidia drivers with System>administration>hardware drivers and I get installArchives() failed is that just the website not giving me the file? [04:07] DasEi: nesbitt: wait until we see the pastebins, and it will probably get overwritten by network manager [04:07] kisuke, Open With for any files not covered by above [04:08] ilovefairuz: /etc/interfaces will overide nm-manager [04:08] sacarlson, i'd try a "sudo apt-get update" then try again? [04:08] ZykoticK9: ok [04:08] ilovefairuz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485251/ [04:10] im trying to connect my lg phone using bitpim in lucid, it seems i need to create /dev/ttyACM0 and link it to usb::001::019::1, im not having ne luck on the forums, i think because i dont know the proper phrasing for the search, does ne one have a suggestion? [04:10] nesbitt, it appears you "broken" machine doesn't have any DNS servers for some reason [04:10] s/you/your [04:10] nesbitt: echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf [04:11] ZykoticK9: i did change my /etc/network/interfaces file to get a static ip, but that was a while ago and it's worked fine for ages [04:11] ZykoticK9, thanks [04:11] nesbitt, follow ilovefairuz's suggestion above [04:11] kisuke, glad to help [04:12] nesbitt: did you configure a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces by hand? you forgot the DNS server [04:12] nesbitt: :) [04:13] ilovefairuz: it works! excellent! thank you! [04:13] ilovefairuz: i did do it by hand (is this unwise?) but it was a long time ago, is it possible for it to work for a while without that being put in then suddenly stop? [04:14] nesbitt: not unwise, just incomplete [04:14] same problem after apt-get update System>administration>hardware drivers and I get installArchives() failed for my [GeForce 6100 nForce 405] (rev a2) [04:15] fur usual the gateway shall fill it, not so in a vpn [04:15] nesbitt: it was probably left working from the last network-manager but somehow it got erased [04:15] I'm going to try direct from nvidia [04:15] ilovefairuz: ok [04:15] does anyone know how long avidemux should take to load files....when I try loading a 30mb video it goes gray and I waited 5 minutes [04:16] hi!

[04:25] Ardin: synaptics already tried I assume ? [04:25] tadeo: do you mean low on resources (memory/ram)? yes, but try Lubuntu if you want something with lower requirements [04:25] lynx7os5: Lots of things you can do there.

[04:26] alguien de mexico [04:26] DasEi: I just did you header load and got some strange stuf back Building initial module for 2.6.33-29-realtime-pae [04:26] Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.33-29-realtime-pae (i686), but I'm not even running that kernel now, does it just bring all of what I have installed in? [04:26] ???? [04:26] hopkins: tadeo: escribe: /join #ubuntu-es [04:26] sacarlson: that's fine, just initramfs [04:27] sacarlson: the later, errm [04:27] Ardin, lspci will show it i beleve, have you checked for any restricted drivers? and are there any events from ps0-mouse (or something like that in dmesg? [04:27] sacarlson: running 32 bit ? [04:27] mexixo [04:27] DasEi: I'm still in xserver when I instaled that. initramfs? like sudo initramfs ? what's that going to do. yes I run 32 bit [04:28] sacarlson: if you install addtional modules, your intramfs gets updated which is fine, errors are not. how much sstem ram ? [04:28] y* [04:29] KE1HA: i was originally thinking more like a config fiile or something but yep, i think this will do just fine.. thanks for the quick reply, very accurate too :) [04:29] ardin, any luck? [04:29] DasEi: I have 2gig ram [04:29] oh wtf. nothing in lshw, nothing in lspci, and this in dmesg [ 14.458773] input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input9 [04:29] sacarlson: and the g-card has ? [04:30] Ardin, so your mouse doesnot work at all? [04:30] DasEi: I'm not sure, is that in the lspic some where? [04:30] sacarlson: sudo hwinfo will tell [04:30] DasEi: I was running 64bit and I don't notice any change in performance [04:30] kisuke: no it works, right and left click works fine. but the side scrolling area can be used once before it stops working. [04:31] Jordan_U, the irony of this all is that testdisk had a thing that rewrites a windows mbr and it is really easy to use and I could not have made that mistake [04:31] sacarlson: 32 default is limited to 4 gb ram, including both, ram n g-card [04:31] and i'm just trying to turn on the 2 finger scrolling (gestures work in win7) [04:31] Ardin, there are no restricted drivers?

[04:33] kisuke: cant work that fast. gimmie a sec, i'm checking my manufacturers website to make sure its a synaptic [04:33] Ardin: sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager hwinfo, for finer grained info [04:34] I cant get firefox to open anymore, it tells me theres one already running and I've tried deleting the .parentlock file [04:34] what other locks does firefox use? [04:35] johnzorn: lsof could tell you, but to get out : sudo killall firefox-bin [04:35] kisuke: seems like it says on acers site that its an "ALPS" touchpad. i've never heard of that [04:35] oh, nevermind [04:35] it has both [04:35] DasEi, I´ve rebooted due to an upgrade so its not running [04:36] johnzorn: lookup top or htop for it [04:36] johnzorn: and it can, if it was open at rbeoot [04:37] DasEi: well I install that hwinfo but the output was so long couldnt find nvidia in it. [04:37] Ardin: try tpconfig [04:37] does anyone know where to go to edit the applications that appear when you select Open With... after right-clicking a link [04:38] sacarlson: pipe it to a file : sudo hwinfo > hwinfo.txt [04:38] me chung may [04:38] dien a [04:38] anh nhau ko [04:38] sacarlson: then sweearch by grep or editor [04:38] yeu anh ko cac em [04:38] Ardin, so was tehre any linux drivers there or not?

[04:40] DasEi: well even with that I still don't know what I'm looking for in here [04:40] brandon, i beleve winamp has a linux version, and VLC might be able to, (not sure as i have never need to) [04:40] DasEi, send [04:40] After installing ubuntu and running sudo install-mbr /dev/sda, I got the status error 0xc000000e at windows boot screen..Any ideas?

Also, how would I do that? [04:43] so, why does ubuntu boot so fast? [04:43] I've tried maybe 10 things already, and it just doesn't seem like it could be THAT simple. [04:43] GaToR__: it's in the link, check the table of connects [04:43] ardin sorry, if theres a solution there take it, but i gotta go, good luck [04:43] GaToR__: contents * [04:43] ilovefairuz: If you say so [04:43] GaToR__: sudo apt-get install grub-pc /dev/sda but verify that with the Ubuntu Dual-Boot-Windows How-Too.

[04:44] E: Couldn't find package [04:44] mkay :) [04:44] hey guys i had a question about grub 2 .. can i boot from usb using grub [04:45] ubuntu , should be in system>pref>power management [04:45] hellboy316: why do you need grub for that? [04:45] GaToR__: sudo grub-install /dev/sda [04:45] hellboy316: can your BIOS not do it? [04:45] GaToR__: try updating grub then: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:45] it has the option to boot but it doesnt work [04:46] i tried using plop boot manager [04:46] sacarlson: you run a 6100 nvidia onboard ? [04:46] it works with that [04:46] that's odd. did you select the proper boot priority etc [04:46] DasEi: yup [04:46] I'll be right back to see if what I did worked. [04:46] Well, what you told me worked* [04:47] sacarlson: as the only card ? well, that shares from system ram then, so no probs with 32 bit/pae [04:47] after POST ... SMBUS CONTROLLER SHOWS NA ... is that why i cant boot from usb [04:47] DasEi: cool [04:48] where is .conkyrc? [04:48] pie_time: in home, ~ [04:48] pie_time: in /etc/conky or $HOME/.conkyrc [04:49] pie_time: i had to create mine in the home directory...copy the one from /etc/conky over [04:49] why arent there any games on this channel [04:49] Im downloading ubuntu-10.04.1-dekstop-amd64 [04:49] hellboy316: I don't know about grub2 booting from USB. It's certainly possible to boot from USB from software, but what I might look into is flashing your BIOS. [04:50] is it ok with that ? [04:50] sacarlson: sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [04:50] Hi. [04:50] hellboy316: this is a support channel [04:50] hellboy316: you'll probably need windows or DOS to flash it. [04:50] I'm going to remove this pae kernel that flags me errors, can I just remove that. oh ok I'll do that also [04:50] yup i tried 3 diffrenet versions [04:50] Well, that sucks. [04:50] GRUB loads fine, and so does Ubuntu. But when I try Windows, I get 0xc000000e and doesn't boot. Does it make a difference that I installed mbr? [04:50] try different USB ports too? [04:51] with plop boot manager i can boot from the same drive [04:51] okies i will check with different ports [04:51] :3;; [04:52] DasEi: can I delete that after I install or do I need to do that before the nvidia install, oh if I do that will the original nvidia install method work? [04:52] hellboy316: this looks relevant, and came up from searching 'grub boot from usb' on google: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB [04:52] GaToR__, have you tried asking if anyone knows in ##windows? [04:52] sacarlson: as you already mentioned, can bork things there, and on the 6100 improvements won't be greatt anyway , BEFORE! [04:52] I have not, I assumed this was caused by Ubuntu, as I did the mbr to get the bootloader to work [04:52] But I'll try [04:52] ZykoticK9, i enabled the repo and downloaded jre-6u21-linux-i586.bin and extracted it , now next what? [04:53] i need help fixing firefox .. it doesnt play flash video anymore .. just shows a black box on youtube and nothing happens ... has anyone faced a similar issue and how did ya fix it ? [04:53] DasEi: ya well if I can get the normal way to work that's I would prefer [04:53] GaToR__: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | pastebinit [04:53] *executed it [04:53] pranay_09, LOL - you don't need to download anything, just enable the repository then "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" [04:53] sacarlson: system > admin...> hardwaredrivers [04:54] ok [04:54] DasEi: ya that's what I tried with all three posible versions and all failed. but I'll try that remove above that might make it work [04:55] KE1HA: http://pastebin.com/X8dnBQXE is what I get [04:55] GaToR__: we;ll also need: [ sudo df -hT | pastebinit ] and [ sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit \ then give us the links pastebinit spits out each time.

[05:06] sacarlson: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg && nvidia-xconfig [05:06] it also depends on the video card memory [05:06] sacarlson, i'd move your current xorg.conf to a safe location then run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to generate a new xorg.conf [05:07] sacarlson: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg && sudo nvidia-xconfig * [05:07] baba, if you mean web hosting, you can install apache from the repositories [05:07] seidos what about an icrd?

[05:51] [05:51] sadiqpkp: ya reconfigure from the command line, I think I will have to write that down [05:51] Guest94490: I sent you the Bug Information that relates to this issue in 9.10. [05:51] maco: Yes actually. Woohoo. [05:51] someone come install dwarf fortress for me [05:52] champion9660: ok so then install smartmontools [05:52] anyone have a problem with Firefox 4 insisting on staying ontop no matter what? [05:52] maco: Actually I think I am incorrect. I might be getting my external HD confused. Let me unplug it. [05:52] pie_time: http://pastebin.com/SSMSSJum [05:53] elo [05:53] helo [05:53] KE1HA >> yea i just got to that point as well ..lol...do you think upgrading it will help to 10.0 ? [05:53] pie_time: the bottom bits are what you need to modify. I have samba users setup to manage access [05:53] KE1HA >> k got it....i should burn and install or just upgrade ? it's a fresh system anyway..no data on it [05:54] pie_time: you could edit those out and test. If you are sharing in the home directory you may need them and you will need to run: sudo smbpasswd -a name (replace name with your username/s) [05:54] maco: I just unplugged my external HD and my USB flash drive, and "sudo fdisk -l" is returning nothing. [05:54] champion9660: then i hope you had a backup [05:55] maco: LOL, dare I ask why? [05:55] i can't find synaptics package manager [05:55] Guest94490: Yes, If you have no need for 9.10 specifically, I would use 10.04.1. [05:55] champion9660: dead [05:55] FF4 insists on staying optop, even when i move FF to the next desktop. [05:55] champion9660: if you are lucky, you can find an identical drive, unscrew the circuit board from the dead one, put the good one's circuit board on, and it might work. often the circuit board fails before the mechanics. [05:56] champion9660: if you heard any noise from the disk before, then its the mechanics that are bad... sometimes putting it in the freezer shifts things into place long enough to hurriedly copy data off if you didnt have a backup [05:56] KE1HA >> one more question i was going to burn the new image but i can't see my other data drives in in GUI how do i get to them to get the image [05:56] maco: I see. The data that's on it is not important. I kept all my media on the external. [05:56] maco: So, the HD is now a fancy and expensive paperweight? [05:56] champion9660: yep [05:57] champion9660: check your warranty if its < 5 yr old [05:57] maco: Lovely. Thank you for your help and prompt response! [05:57] johzephine: use software centre instead [05:57] champion9660: sorry it couldnt be better news === wasabi_ is now known as foureight84 [05:57] maco: Well my Linux skills were a little rusty, couldn't even remember how fstab worked. [05:57] ActionParsnip, Thanks. I need to install libraries to install dwarf fortress, but I can't find them using software centre. [05:58] Guest94490: you probably need to mount the drives. pastebin: df -hT and sudo fdisk -l [05:58] maco: And that's OK. I bought this computer from a friend of mine; he built it from scratch. Hopefully it'll still be under warranty. [05:58] maco: The HD* [05:58] johzephine: theres getlibs (i believe its called that) [05:58] champion9660: warranties are often 3 or 5 years so... i think seagate standard is 5 [05:59] anyone give me a link to ubuntu offtopic... [06:00] shamez: #ubuntu-offtopic [06:00] is there a scp type app that I can login and run a script instead of upload file [06:00] maco, cool :-) [06:00] KE1HA >> k thanks i think i got the idea ;) [06:00] Hey, I am having a hard time understanding this.... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17511 [06:00] What does it mean by put it in your user path? [06:00] /home/me/here [06:00] Guest94490: Ok, let us know if you need more help. [06:01] Oh, what I am talking about is about halfway down the page regarding how to associate .torrent files with utorrent. [06:01] does this tutorial for calling yahoo messenger users using ekiga still valid? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414121 [06:01] KE1HA >> k thanks bud u been great help :) [06:01] Welsome [06:02] Now if I could only type, life would be good :-) [06:02] Scrumps_: why not just use a native torrent client? [06:03] Because, I don't particularly like transmission, and many of the other torrent clients on Linux. [06:03] I have tried a lot of them. [06:03] ActionParsnip, can't find getlibs :/ [06:03] good call whoever told me. I deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf rebooted then it came up ok, I then tried nvidia 173 driver and reboot and it seems to be working. [06:03] Scrumps_: it means that the code given is a script, and you should put it in one of the folders in $PATH [06:03] thanx, I said [06:03] Scrumps_: wine will chew a lot of resources compared to the native clients [06:03] Okay, but, what is $path [06:04] Scrumps_: in termianl run: echo $PATH choose a folder and put the script in [06:05] Scrumps_: you'll need to mark the script as executable, then tell nautilus and whatver apps to open torrent files with the script [06:05] Scrumps_: PATH are the folders where binarys reside and you can call them without having to absolutely define them [06:05] Scrumps_: What torrent client do you like ? [06:06] ok so now how do I activate compiz? I see boxes in it that are checked but I still can't get the zoom to work with the supperkey [06:06] Type export in shell to see your PATH [06:06] sacarlson: do you have 3d acelleration setup? [06:06] ActionParsnip: probly not [06:06] gnuplanet, I like utorrent. Not much else. I tried transmission, I had azuerues a while ago, tried rtorrent, tried deluge (not sure if that was any better since I tried it), can't use ktorrent unless I install KDE, which I don't want to do. [06:07] ActionParsnip: but all I want is the magnifier [06:07] sacarlson: ok then run: lspci | grep -i vga websearch for the result to find guides [06:07] sadiqpkp, "echo $PATH" is an easier/less cluttered why to see your path [06:07] sacarlson: theres xmag if you just want a magnifier [06:07] ActionParsnip: compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6100 nForce 405] (rev a2) [06:08] !nvidia | sacarlson [06:08] sacarlson: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:08] for beginners simple commands are welcome, that's why === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [06:10] yo [06:11] sacarlson: http://pastie.org/1123595 should do it [06:11] Scrumps_: I think nonsense install utorrent, there are many native torrent clients, but that's my opinion ... The good news is that the version of utorrent for linux is already in development but not free software: s [06:12] ActionParsnip: I'm reading it [06:12] ActionParsnip: the first you sent me that is [06:12] anyonw know how to access mounted hdd's from wine? [06:12] By free, do you mean as in open source, or having to actually pay to use the software? [06:12] Just open cmd in wine and change drive [06:13] ActionParsnip: I already installed the drivers with System>admin>hardware I thought that did all this stuf [06:14] free doesn't mean free as in 'FREE', but free to use, modify, distribute, that's all [06:14] sacarlson: you may need an xorg.conf to define refresh rates if your monitor isnt reporting them correctly [06:14] ActionParsnip: do I still need to do your pastebin instrucitons if I already have the driver isntalled? I looked and see I have no xorg.conf after the install [06:15] Scrumps_: No need to pay. But free software and open source are distinct things [06:15] ActionParsnip: ya my monitor has caused me problems in the past not being on some list or not being able to be read [06:16] sadiqpkp, how do i do that? lol, im a noob with wine, i just installed it today [06:16] ActionParsnip: how can I tell what driver is really running on my video? [06:16] sacarlson: if they aren't needed the system will tell you ;) [06:16] K, sorry [06:16] sacarlson: if you run: sudo lshw -C display you will see the drivername the system is using === micke-away is now known as MichaelSOG [06:16] lsmod I see nouveau [06:16] But [06:16] Scrumps_: A lot of people have used utorrent under wine without any issues [06:16] maco: You still there buddy? [06:16] I use utorrent under wine all the time. - Been using Deluge lately however. [06:16] champion9660: yep [06:17] abhinav: its a bit weird though, considering the amount of native clients [06:17] With torrent clients - it seems its always the little things that differ. :) [06:17] maco: "Install Ubuntu" sees that I have a HD. fdisk doesn't. What gives? [06:17] * ActionParsnip uses transmission headlessly [06:17] I like how utorrent does some things. Deluge is a little awkward in some ways. [06:17] champion9660: is it seeing the external again? [06:17] champion9660: ls /dev/sd* [06:17] ActionParsnip: yup from your method I get configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0 [06:17] maco: No sir. [06:17] !info torrent [06:17] Seen other clients with features i wish were in utorrent and deluge. [06:17] Package torrent does not exist in lucid [06:18] * maco not a knight [06:18] maco: "SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 150.0 GB ATA WDC WD1500AHFD-0 [06:18] maco: Begging your pardon. [06:18] ActionParsnip: Agreed. I don't know why, but transmission gives me a lot of issues (stops downloading randomly, etc). Vuze (which is very heavy) is what I am using right now, along with deluge sometimes. [06:18] sacarlson: thats the open driver for nvidia's. You can use the 180 driver if you want: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 dkms [06:18] maco: Although it DOES say "This computer has no operating systems on it." Which is a bold-faced lie. [06:19] Scrumps_: A lot of people have used utorrent under wine without any issues - Well, I was just told that I wasn't going to be able to do use it how I wanted, as it wasn't possible. [06:19] ActionParsnip: I have the 173 installed just need to create a xorg.conf to start running it [06:19] champion9660: unless the partition table is corrupted... [06:19] champion9660: ok see now thats just weird. install smartmontools and follow this thingy https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [06:19] Then was recommended doing the script to get the files to open using Wine... [06:19] Which, still doesn't work apparently. [06:19] champion9660: SMART is for hard drive diagnostics [06:19] maco: Will do. Thanks again. [06:19] ActionParsnip: seems the current that must be 180 caused my kernel to crash. [06:19] sacarlson: cool: sudo nvidia-xconfig [06:19] In my opinion, use utorrent with wine, is like being inside a Mercedes being towed [06:19] ActionParsnip: ok that's what I must need thanks [06:20] maco: Wait, can I install packages in Live mode? [06:20] champion9660: yep [06:21] Well, it works, I was just hoping that if I were to download a .torrent file, that it would be able to open up within utorrent, and it can't do that. [06:21] Say from Nautilus or Firefox. [06:21] I have to manually add the torrents. [06:21] Scrumps_: ok, just read back on your earlier messages. There should be a way to open the downloaded files.. I do it with some other apps. Let me see and get back in a while [06:22] Scrumps_: you can set it up whjere it CAN do that. [06:22] ActionParsnip: ok that created a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf so time to see if it works. reboot time [06:22] Scrumps_: or you can make utorrent autoload torrents from some saved directory locatiion [06:22] Dr_Willis, I can set it up, yes, but it doesn't work. [06:22] Scrumps_: set teh default app by right clicking and associating torrent files with the script you made [06:23] !info deluge-torrent [06:23] deluge-torrent (source: deluge): bittorrent client (gtk ui transitional package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.2-2 (lucid), package size 23 kB, installed size 68 kB [06:23] Scrumps_: it works here. so i guess you dident set it up riught. :) I made a script that does the actual work and launches utorrent with the proper options/path to the .torrent file [06:23] Scrumps_: So, it works, not only works well :s [06:23] are there any solutions for ubuntu that supports video chat with yahoo messenger users? [06:23] sadiqpkp: 68Kb installed is pretty sweeet [06:23] maco: OK. The page you linked tells me to "smarctl -i /dev/sda" -- I get: Smartctl open device: /dev/sda failed: Permission denied [06:23] i've tried ekiga but it doesn't seem to be working [06:23] k, serous prob here, no matter what i do Firefoa 4, (minefield) insists on staying ontop being the top window. [06:23] champion9660: sudo [06:24] firefox [06:24] Dr_Willis, I tried doing the script from Wine's website, but, it didn't work for me. [06:24] And, no one is responding within #winehq to help me out with that script either. [06:24] use sudo [06:24] maco: Short INQUIRY response, skip product id \\ A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. [06:25] champion9660: uhhh...O_o [06:25] Scrumps_: lots easier to use the native clients.... [06:26] are there any solutions for ubuntu that supports video chat with yahoo messenger users?

Version 3.3.4+dfsg.1-1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 1254 kB, installed size 4956 kB [06:26] foureight84: you could install the none-open virtualbox, shell out for xp and use the windows yahoo client [06:26] champion9660: i guess put "-T permissive" in the command then...

The ones that decide what frequency your CPU operates on depending on loads? [06:28] maco: Well, since at the worst the HD is dead and at the best Windows won't even boot, I'm going to try to Install Linux and see what happens. [06:29] champion9660: good luck [06:29] maco: Heh, the partition manager isn't showing any partitions. [06:30] champion9660: ok so at the very least, the partition table was corrupted...and corruption is a Bad Thing [06:30] maco: Gotcha. [06:31] heres my 'startutorrent.sh' script i use to get torrents in FF. to start up in utorrent.exe ---> http://pastebin.com/QHfits7N [06:32] hey guys [06:32] maco: Getting an IO error. Ha. [06:32] ActionParsnip: hmm well that's a bit difficult since my laptop is slow and virtualbox can't share my laptop's webcam [06:32] foureight84: the closed source one may [06:33] Does anyone here use backtrac [06:33] Dr_Willis, I will try that, where di you put it? [06:33] DsDude: backtrack is offtopic here [06:33] can anyone tell me how to access a mounted hdd in wine?

It never used to do it in arch linux, maybe the catalyst I'm using is an older version [06:36] ActionParsnip, wow, ill try and figure out what is what, lol [06:36] diva: you need a partition to be / and format it ext4 [06:36] hello [06:36] ? [06:36] brandon420: i'd ask in #vbox [06:36] i think i did [06:36] diva: you need a partition defined for / make it at least 6gb to be comfortable [06:37] ??? [06:37] ActionParsnip, your a god! thanks man! [06:37] diva: set sda5 as mounted as '/' [06:37] brandon420: always a pleasuer [06:37] ActionParsnip, i have been asking the google god for answers for like a hour, lol [06:37] done [06:37] it works thank [06:38] ActionParsnip, can you please tell me how to check? [06:38] but is 4gb for swap area enough [06:38] diva: and mark it for formatting so its all clear and ready to go. The installer wil now see that a root partition is defined and allow the install to run [06:38] since i only have 4gb of ram [06:38] baba: check what? [06:38] diva: you have defined a 40Gb swap... [06:38] what [06:39] ActionParsnip, how do I run apache once I download it? [06:39] diva: look at the image, you have setup a 40Gb swap [06:39] from the repository [06:39] how big should a swap area be? [06:39] i did aptitude, does that install as well? [06:39] baba: it sets itself to autorun at boot and runs itself after install too [06:39] diva: 4Gb [06:39] diva: not 40Gb [06:39] ActionParsnip, so how do I find the console for it? [06:39] how do u set it as 4gb [06:40] not 40gb [06:40] diva: unless you have 40Gb ram and REALLY need suspend... [06:40] so 40gb is 400? in the formatting? [06:40] diva: delete the swap partition and the ext4 partition and reset them up. have a 4gb swap space then set the rest of the space for / and formatted ext4 [06:41] Alright, I am pretty new to linux...I had ssh working two days ago...now i have a new install and ssh wont work; i cant figure out why [06:41] DeliriumTremens: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [06:41] ActionParsnip: did that, i configured it the same way as I had it before [06:41] but its refusing connections [06:42] the right port has been forwarded on the router [06:42] so 4gb=?mb? [06:42] need some help [06:42] ActionParsnip? [06:42] diva, 4 gb = 4,000 mb [06:42] putty tells me "software has caused connection abort" [06:42] 4096? [06:42] diva 4Gb == 4 x 1024 == 4096 [06:43] oh sorry yeah [06:43] 4096 [06:43] DeliriumTremens: do you have any firewall rules configured [06:43] no [06:43] is okay [06:43] this worked two days ago on pretty much the exact same configuration [06:43] on this new install it wont jive [06:43] looking forward to install ubuntu in my alienware m11x [06:43] can someone tell me how to get to the Apache console? [06:44] or is it completely CL [06:44] DeliriumTremens: check the listening apps in : netstat -a [06:44] when i do: ssh -v localhost i get a failure message [06:45] is there a online converter that will convert mb into gb? [06:45] diva: X*1024 is to hard? [06:45] then ya got the MiB and GiB stuff :) [06:45] that port is listening.. [06:45] Dr_Willis: heck, not even X*1024. just X*1000. MiB & GiB are 1024 [06:46] *:PORT [06:46] Dr_Willis: though *cough* it's divide [06:46] maco: is that they decided? I missed the memo [06:46] MarketingMb MarketingGB [06:47] Dr_Willis: yep, MiB = mega binary byte, so it uses the 1024 numbering [06:47] Vs. ComputerProgramerMB ComputerProgramerGB :) [06:47] Hello, I have a little question... Can I upgrade gnome then nautilus in karmic to 3? [06:47] DeliriumTremens: check the IP too [06:47] the IP is the same as the previous install [06:47] maco: seems backwards to do it that way.. but thats how marketing works [06:48] Dr_Willis: well and thats how SI works ;-) [06:48] DeliriumTremens: also check the port used in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [06:48] installing ubuntu on alienware m11x so happy [06:48] maco: Dr_Willis: *mibibyte [06:48] hope that it works [06:48] i manually set the port to the port I am forwarding to this IP [06:48] s/mibi/mebi/ [06:48] installing time to quit [06:48] Jordan_U: yes but mebibyte is an abbreviation of mega binary byte. just like bit is an abbreviation of bidgit [06:48] c-u guys [06:48] I look up at my wall. and see a Timex Sinclare 1000 with a Huge 4K of memory.. is that 4KiB now? :) [06:48] when i try to connect to myself on this box i get a 'connection reset by peer' [06:48] thank for the help! [06:48] maco: Ahh, should have known that :) [06:49] fred2040: I do not know for sure if you can. I would think, yes, but with considerable effort. I recommend to wait for Maverick. [06:49] i tried removing openssh then reinstalling, that didnt do it [06:49] any ideas on a gui video converter that can convert avi to wmv? [06:49] DeliriumTremens: 'ssh localhost' on the local machine works or not? [06:49] ezrafree: winff, avidemux or other guis to ffmpeg and mencoder [06:50] Dr_Willis: no, 'connection reset by peer' [06:50] * maco totally needs to use the word "bigit" more often [06:50] regards bullgard4, ty, is the best option! [06:50] i have winff and avidemux and it seems neither work [06:50] ezrafree: its more about the 'codec' then the file extension. [06:50] ezrafree: theres dozens of different codecs you can be using for avi and wmv. [06:50] * Jordan_U needs to use the word "nibble" more often. [06:50] Is there any specific reason to run Dell's ISO over the Cronical ? === mei is now known as chong [06:50] You may try to use vlc [06:51] vlc is a video player as well as converter [06:51] Jordan_U: Please stay to topic and tell that in #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:51] i am able to convert to wmv from an avi file using mencoder on the command line okay [06:51] bullgard4: Sorry. [06:51] i just want to do it in a gui so it'll be less of a pain === Guest92192 is now known as Kaie` [06:52] vlc player has gui [06:52] Or can you get the same things from cronical (or whatever) iso just like if you downloaded the dell DVD? [06:52] Name141: I believe that Dell's iso contains Dell specific drivers and has a repository from Dell for driver updates setup by default, along with restricted codecs installed by default. [06:52] Jordan_U: So it 'might' be better for me to get it since I have a dell PC? [06:53] Click file and select convert in vlc player [06:53] Name141: Only if you have a Dell that came with Ubuntu. [06:53] Jordan_U: no, it came with XP [06:53] by my choice [06:53] can vlc player convert? [06:53] I didn't want anything to do with Vista [06:54] (but never mind that0 [06:54] yes vlc player has a menu to convert [06:54] !info vlc [06:54] Name141: good plan, i'd try with 10.04.1 to start and go from there. [06:54] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.2 (lucid), package size 1598 kB, installed size 3792 kB [06:54] ezrafree: Yes, but it's not particularly good as a transcoder. [06:54] KE1HA: I think I'll just go ahead and download the ISO. Can I run Dell's "wubied" ? [06:54] yeah , sure, not best quality conversion [06:55] KE1HA: Or does it have that option like the original ? [06:55] also, is there a dell specific channel? [06:56] ezrafree: ffmpeg -i foo.avi foo.wmv seems to work just fine for me. [06:56] Name141: I've no Idea about Dell ISO's. [06:56] "In a world without walls and fences who needs Windows and Gates?" [06:56] does ubuntu block any ports by default? [06:56] DeliriumTremens: No it does not [06:56] ratdog: microsoft gives you windows, linux gives you the whole house [06:56] heh [06:56] DeliriumTremens: use 'sudo iptables --list' to see if any rules exist [06:57] ratdog: those things are older than your grandma dude [06:57] ugh [06:57] some HAVENT herd them ActionParsnip, >:) [06:58] ok [06:58] KE1HA: Ok. About the only reason I'm on XP is cause I play games. I don't know if I could switch, thus I was thinking I'd try it all wubied and wined first [06:58] so i can connect locally if i dont use the forwarded port [06:58] ugh [06:59] DeliriumTremens: can you connect to the system over LAN? [06:59] and the same, the only reason I don't use windows is that I don't play games to waste time [06:59] gaw CSI Miami is so stupid [06:59] Name141: You may want to inquire about PlayonLinux & Wine, but Im not a big PC-Gamer, I use consoles fer that. [06:59] i don't see an option in avidemux for encoding to wmv. could wmv go by another name perhaps? [07:00] KE1HA: I'm too broke for a "gaming hardware" AND a computer [07:00] KE1HA: Thus I play them on the PC. [07:00] ezrafree: why do you need a wmv anyway? [07:01] adult videos. [07:01] locally yes [07:01] Dr_Willis: apparently my friend says that's what i need to play a movie on his xbox [07:01] ahhahhahhahahhhaha [07:01] Name141: Well, there's always Wubi and Dualboot options for you. Have a read on those and see which best fits you needs. [07:01] ezrafree: actually you need to determine what codec of wmv also... [07:01] i've been able to do it successfully on the command line in mencoder but sometimes the sound is off sync [07:01] KE1HA: Yeah. Last I remember anything over hardy didn't like my internal nic.. Windows7 doesn't even like it [07:01] ezrafree: ffmpeg -i foo.avi foo.wmv has worked for me in the past. [07:02] why not use vlc? [07:02] ezrafree: why waste time trying to make some gui crap work, when a user has given you a command which will do it for you ?? [07:02] hey can i use packages meant for debian with ubuntu? [07:02] Dr_Willis: ah thank you very much, i will try that instead of mencoder [07:02] or will that break my system? [07:02] ratdog: there is a single commandline command which will do it, vlc isnt needed [07:02] glickster ubuntu is debian based the packages will still work [07:03] ActionParsnip: until Dr_Willis just now, i didn't see anyone give me a command prior to that, sorry [07:03] ezrafree: mencoder is just about as simple also. [07:03] what about smv_encode [07:03] ok [07:03] when i change the source port [07:03] locally i cant connect [07:03] I think it's not in ubuntu package list [07:03] if i remove the changed port it connects fine [07:03] ezrafree: i gave you that command about 5 min ago also.. :) Its from the ffmpeg faq/beginner docs/examples page :) [07:03] ezrafree: well now you have it, you could even make a script for it and use a filename as an arg :) [07:03] Dr_Willis: thats what I tought [07:03] mencoder file.avi -o file.wmv -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=wmv2 -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=wmav2 -of lavf [07:03] that's what i've been using now [07:04] Buenas noches [07:04] alguien de habla hispana? [07:04] hay alguien de habla hispana? [07:04] ezrafree: ffmpeg can be as complex as that.. the example i gave uses the 'defaults' for wmv. theres several DIFFERNT kinds of wmv/codecs out there. [07:05] madfox, so if i do dpgk -i packagename it will upgrad the current package? [07:05] !es | xaro [07:05] xaro: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[07:05] wtf [07:05] glickster not like you are going to trash the whole system or anything [07:05] did you try vlc to convert, If not try once [07:05] ezrafree: I recall the ffmpeg (and proberly mencoder) faq addressing that exact issue.

[07:31] johnny_: All official repositories of 10.04 are now updated to 10.04.1, so you'd have to look to the non-official places for older versions [07:31] Flannel: Alright thanks.

[07:32] <_mrn_ver_> actually i get computer discription of 32 bits but for cpu specific information i get 64 bits for logical cpus [07:32] johnny_: It doesn't use a liveCD. It boots straight into the installer, and uses an entirely different method for installation (installation via packages instead of copying the liveCD image to the drive) [07:32] <_mrn_ver_> can any one tell me what does this mean? [07:32] Flannel: Thanks for the information. I'll look into that. [07:32] <_mrn_ver_> chong: i think u got me [07:33] Flannel: does the alternate installer still 10.04? [07:33] _mrn_ver_: show me the info [07:33] Flannel: not the 10.04.1? [07:33] scriptwarlock: The alternate installer would be 10.04.1 as well, but it wouldn't be looking for a loopback (which is part of what the casper image (the liveCD) does to boot) [07:33] <_mrn_ver_> and also for cpu "*-logicalcpu:0 description: Logical CPU physical id: 0.1 width: 64 bits capabilities: logical *-logicalcpu:1 description: Logical CPU physical id: 0.2 width: 64 bits capabilities: logical" [07:33] Flannel: Right.

[07:34] Flannel: ah ok [07:35] <_mrn_ver_> chong: i got this as i cant post while of the output coz it is too big [07:35] _mrn_ver_: your system is 32 bit ? [07:35] <_mrn_ver_> yes [07:35] <_mrn_ver_> so why the cpu section showing 64 bit?

[07:57] diva: sri was in another room, you need to mount the partition wehre grub is installed first. see the link above for directions on how best to do that. [07:57] pie_time: seems rather straightforward. all the scripts need to be downloaded and copied to ~/.conky/conkyparts and the .conkyrc goes in the root of the users home dir [07:57] link above ? [07:57] who is sri? [07:58] <|Avi|> hu? [07:58] Dr_Willis, yes but what about those last two things: conkyforecast and weather.template. they aren't really scripts [07:58] <|Avi|> i was told this place is madness [07:58] diva: yes, the link you posted, in your case, it looks to be /sda5 is what you need to mount [07:58] pie_time: they may need extrta scripts/fonts/parts. You couldjust disable them [07:59] Dr_Willis, thats the most important part of conky [07:59] keiha: so I should type sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/sda5 ???

[08:00] sri sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 no / before mount. [08:00] but sda 5 is not my swap area?

[08:00] <|Avi|> download...last i checked it was something you did with square sheets of paper [08:00] michael__: i.e. does the chipset/hardware/driver actually support master mode at all? [08:01] origami the fah client [08:01] diva: not according to this: http://pastebin.com/Ym8HEuDm /sda6 is the swap [08:01] <|Avi|> O_o [08:02] root@ubuntu:~# sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 [08:02] mount: mount point /mnt/sda5 does not exist [08:02] lws: Not on ubuntu 10.04 seems to be problems allowing iwconfig to set mode master. Though I know people using Asrock ION 330HT (has the same card ar9285) as routers. [08:02] michael__: very well, then. :) [08:02] diva: if you have a root terminal you don't need sudo. Do you log in as root or something? [08:03] yes I think I need to be root be fix my grub boot loader [08:03] wow this new compiz has things I never dreamed of.

It is not mounts job to make the mount point. And please don't log on as root [08:04] anyone got origami working in 10.04? [08:04] sacarlson: ubuntu already ships with compiz enabled, you just need the interface to configure it [08:04] sacarlson: then you can have spinning cubes ;) [08:04] lws: Guess I'll just go back to deb (seems easier somehow) ;) [08:04] lws: I think I got that but how do I control those fetures when they are installed. I think I need the book [08:04] actionparnip? [08:04] diva: now: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [08:04] diva: no output means it worked, no news is good news :) [08:04] LOL [08:04] sacarlson: usage information?

I could just turn them on but must require some knolege of what keys mouse movments do what [08:05] hello [08:06] <_mrn_ver_> lsw: thank you for help [08:06] sacarlson: if you want to know how to control the desktop cube, look at the keyboard shortcut settings for the desktop cube plugin [08:06] anyone know how to make origami work in 10.04?

[08:09] ActionParsnip: really i just found that compiz wasn't increasing my productivity, and it makes my (older) computer slightly sluggish [08:09] lws: I don't use it either.

[08:12] i guess it is a bad news since there is outputs [08:12] LOL [08:12] diva: don't do that. Use pastebin for multiple lines so you don't scroll the crap out of the channel [08:12] sorry about that [08:12] i must say, this channel is madness [08:12] lol [08:12] KolleR: totally depends on what the bot is written in. [08:13] lws: fun isn't it. Ride the wave! [08:13] KolleR: an educated guess is that mIRC bots will only run in mIRC [08:13] hi, docky failed to install from the software centre and now it's saying I have to repair it before I can install or remove any further software. How do I repair it? [08:13] KolleR: a quick google hasn't told me it's possible [08:13] Dr_Willis yes i have my bot on a file.txt [08:13] whois coyotus [08:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/485314/ [08:14] KolleR: that means very little reallyu. I find that people that spend a long time learning to script mIRC.. often realize they should of spent time learning to program in a better language. [08:14] KolleR: you can run mirc in wine if you REALLY want. I hope your bots don't just spam with the local weather and whatever celine dion song you are listening to. They are truly worthless [08:14] KE1HA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485314/ I am using a live usb? [08:14] can any on ehelp with ldap [08:14] ActionParsnip: best advice - forget mIRC - check out other irc clients [08:15] actionparsnip can you help me a bit please [08:15] xchat is pretty good irc [08:15] Dr_Willis: never used it, never will. I used to use hydrairc [08:15] diva: It sounds like some verry poorly designed windows application is overwriting grub. Right now developers need as much information about these applications as they can get; Would you be willing to help try to get this information? [08:15] diva: I'm no good with grub. Never had an issue with it. [08:15] sure [08:15] Dr_Willis: also free :) [08:15] diva: yes, no outputs this time is not. I'm not sure why it's not finding the app. [08:15] ActionParsnip hydrairc on ubuntu? can u load addons? [08:15] but what can I help [08:16] ActionParsnip: yep. tha twas for KolleR :) [08:16] is not good* [08:16] has anyone here setup an ubuntu server [08:16] KolleR: I don't use addons of any sort [08:16] KolleR: : best advice - forget mIRC - check out other irc clients [08:16] Jordan_U how can I help [08:16] KolleR: go learn the other clients.. dont get obsessed with addons and scripts. learn the irc basics [08:16] KolleR: I just type and press enter. I don't need bots or any other stuff [08:16] Jordan_U plus I can't boot into window either [08:16] what should I do [08:16] Hi! I am trying to find all functions with a _not_ returning type int in my source code. Can anyone think of a regexp to do this? [08:16] help [08:17] <[sleepy]> Sup [08:17] about the only fancy irc features i use are auto id to nickserv. and perhaps a lot of alias;s for FAQ's in here [08:17] ActionParsnip ok which irc client on ubuntu is the best like mirc and let me know to learn :) [08:17] KolleR: we allready suggested Xchat [08:18] even grub-setup -d is not working [08:18] KolleR: there is no best anything in life dude [08:18] <[sleepy]> I use xchat :): [08:18] KolleR: you will soon learn that mIRC is rather limited in many ways and gimmicy in how it does things [08:18] ActionParsnip: How can we tell apt to use the LiveCD for it's repos to get grub-pc package fer Diva ? [08:18] diva: First you need to get grub re-installed. The absolute easiest way to do this, if you have a blank CD handy, is to boot Ubuntu using Super GRUB2 Disk. If you don't have a blank CD or don't want to burn a CD then I think that the clearest guide for doing it from a liveCD is this one: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [08:19] Limechat for the iPhone rocks [08:19] KolleR: i'd say irssi has good script support. What do your scripts actually do? [08:19] Dr_Willis ok i found irssi, can u tell me if its pretty than xchat? [08:19] KolleR: irssi is TEXT only [08:19] KolleR: its about as far as mIRC/xchat as you can get. [08:19] my alienware m11x does not have a cd drive [08:19] can anyone help w/ ubuntu server [08:19] KolleR: i perfer weechat for a pure text only irc client [08:19] KolleR: go look at screenies and judge for yourself rather than have other people tell you what to think [08:19] ActionParsnip i have learn mirc scripting and i can do what ever i want :) [08:19] KolleR: looks dont really matter.. === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [08:20] KolleR: you learned mIRC and you could of spent time learning pyton or some other more usefull programing language. [08:20] KolleR: just don't spam channels with rubbish. Its really annoying [08:20] KolleR: learning mIRC scripting is somewhat like learning visual basic [08:20] lws: worse even. :) [08:20] Dr_Willis give me the screenshot site of weechat [08:20] KolleR: if you want to write bots, you'd be better of learning how to use Eggdrop [08:20] KolleR: its text based.. its lots of lines of text.... [08:21] KolleR: it has a homepage.. [08:21] KolleR: there are screenies online. You can have them now instead of waiting for Dr_Willis to make or find one [08:21] so, tell me, is it against channel rules to tell people to google things? [08:21] Jordan_U: Only problem at the minute is, apt's not finding the repo's, she's mounted on /sda5 where she needs to be, but not finding grub-pc for install. [08:21] who knows anything about LDAP w/ ubuntu server??????????????? [08:21] diva: Ok, then go with http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [08:21] root@ubuntu:~# sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [08:21] root@ubuntu:~# [08:21] !google | lws [08:21] lws: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet.

[08:21] diva: have you asked in #grub ? [08:21] KE1HA: The best approach is to use the grub-pc that's on her installed system by chrooting. [08:21] valbaca: ack [08:22] ActionParsnip lol [08:22] Diva Whoops, SRI ! [08:22] KolleR: seriously. Makes sense doesn't it...

I wasn't in here at that point. [08:25] KolleR: how do you expect differnt text based IRC clients to look....

[08:38] partition magic just screwed up my disk but Gparted was just cool [08:39] timbuktu: yeah, gparted > * - certainly beats using fdisk on a command line [08:39] can anyone help me with reconfigure keyboard and mouse on 10.04...both freeze at login screen after boot up [08:39] hey guys, in ubuntu... is it possible to have two sound cards playing sound simultaneously, to give it a surround sound effect? [08:39] timbuktu: also helps avoid comical mistakes like formatting the WRONG PARTITION BY MISTAKE. ;) <- that was a fun afternoon. [08:39] well the adobe flash global settings menu is accessible, so... [08:39] never used those [08:39] illmortal: yes [08:40] Guest78979: try the boot options i8024.reset i8024.nomux=1 and/or irqpoll [08:40] illmortal: though i forget how i set that up...

[08:40] hi - i'm still looking for a way to stop nautilus creating .trash folders on mp3 players and cameras - it breaks them [08:40] maco: i'm pretty sure it involves alsa and a goat sacrifice [08:40] yes gr8 s/w === ruben is now known as Guest14793 [08:40] mostholy: thankfully, others have :) [08:40] lws: nah pulseaudio makes it easy [08:40] > where do i put those i'm booting from live CD [08:41] maco: bahm you new kids and your fandangled audio frameworks === ThomasG33K is now known as TomRone [08:41] billy: use an audio app like banshee and it may stop it.

Is it a laptop? [08:42] illmortal: in paprefs, go to "simultaneous output" tab and enable "add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards" [08:42] ActionParsnip: the bug was reported years ago and has been ignored effectively - i dont use banshee for file management [08:42] gnea: oh hey! that reminds me. i'm having trouble signing up at ubuntu forums [08:42] when i register, and click to finalize, it doesn't load the new page [08:42] did you check your email? [08:42] just tries to download "register.php" which is blank [08:42] illmortal: then open pavucontrol and go to "output devices" ... have it set to show "all output devices" and make sure the simultaneous one is unmuted, volume up, etc. [08:42] billy: could use a different filemanager then maybe [08:42] yes i checked my mail [08:43] illmortal: then when you start playing something, go to "playback" tab and set it to use the simultaneous output device [08:43] illmortal: the end [08:43] gnea: haha i'm not a complete computer noob, i'm just trying to leave windows behind for good [08:43] ActionParsnip>> nope desktop..was having problems with 9.10 upgrade someone told me to upgrade to 10 now i'm on 10 and i'm crewed [08:43] mostholy: don't forget to answer the security question (usually a simple math problem) [08:43] ActionParsnip: the whole desktop management is in nautilus if my understanding is correct - i dont want to do a major rewrite of the system [08:43] mostholy: not assuming that you are, just asking some simple, straight-forward troubleshooting questions :) [08:44] Guest78979: ok the options aren't much good to you. Can you press ALT+F1 at the login screen and login at command line? [08:44] billy: no, only the desktop icon display is nautilus === Guest61376 is now known as DoubleString [08:44] billy: try 'killall nautilus' to see what I mean [08:45] Dr_Willis, back,i install weechat from synaptic and after done i do weechat on terminal it says directory not found :( [08:45] billy: its not. You are just going to install another browser. Its not rewriting anything at all [08:45] hendaus: weechat-curses, not weechat [08:45] I have an onboard sound card + USB speakers. I just bought BOSE speakers which will connect to my onboard sound card, I'd like to play all sounds with the USB speakers + my onboard sound card (the usb speakers have built in sound card). [08:45] lws: ok so this must be configurable somewhere because no .trash folders are created on non linux partitions [08:45] lws, thanx let me try [08:45] I'd like to have a surround sound effect. [08:46] gnea: my security question dealt with the color of an orange [08:46] mostholy: :D [08:46] ActionParsnip>> yea i'm able to get to the shell or boot from recovery mode [08:46] live video seems to be the only thing i can't get to work [08:46] illmortal: i dont know about the balance part of that for surround sound, but i just explained how to get sound out of both audio devices at one [08:46] *once [08:46] billy: you can have nautilus manage the desktop stuff and manage files with thunar if you like. You can install rox and konqueror too if the fancy takes you [08:46] other than that, i am truly happy with linux as opposed to windows [08:46] im sorry, can you send that again maco? My pidgin froze (yay windows) [08:47] ActionParsnip>> as long as i'm in shell i'm okay but as soon as gdm starts up...keyboard and mouse freeze complete no num lock nothing [08:47] i don't want to dual-boot windows and xubuntu (especially since all i have is vista) [08:47] lws, how can i connect to ubuntu chan from weechat-cursers [08:47] Guest78979: then login at the shell and run: startx and the gui will run. You could then try unplugging the keyboard / mouse if they are usb then plugging them back in [08:47] illmortal: install padevchooser and paprefs [08:47] illmortal: in paprefs, go to "simultaneous output" tab and enable "add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards" [08:47] illmortal: then open pavucontrol and go to "output devices" ... have it set to show "all output devices" and make sure the simultaneous one is unmuted, volume up, etc. [08:47] illmortal: then when you start playing something, go to "playback" tab and set it to use the simultaneous output device [08:47] maco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:47] illmortal: the end [08:48] ActionParsnip>> okay thanks let me try that and be back in a bit i think it's just a simple detecting issue with gdm...thanks a log [08:48] lot* [08:48] awesome :D [08:48] thanks maco! [08:49] illmortal: i didnt mean padevchooser. darn. i meant pavucontrol [08:49] haha ok [08:49] mostholy: give it some time, you'll find that you can do just about everything you could do in windows in ubuntu, although some things will require some modification as to how they're done, and a rare thing or two simply won't be possible [08:49] and when you mentioned the balance... it might be off by a bit? [08:49] 我是汉字 [08:49] but, they're usually stupid things anyway [08:50] hendaus: weechat is just like any other IRC client and uses standard IRC commands like /connect and /join [08:50] 不会英文 [08:50] hendaus, http://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_quickstart.en.html [08:50] i know people can view live cam streams with linux, and Cheese verifies that xubuntu can find my camera [08:50] hendaus: for weechat and irssi (and ircii) it pays to know the irc fundamentals. :) or at least read the docs at the apps homepages [08:50] but i don't even care about broadcasting [08:50] !cn | sw123 [08:50] sw123: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:51] other than this one minor hangup, i'm really happy with linux [08:51] lws, i try /server irc.freenode.net and it shows message --> irc: unknown option for "server" command [08:51] try /connect instead [08:51] lws, yes thanx [08:51] hi everyone [08:51] my comp runs 100% better, and i don't have to worry about my computer randomly eating its own brain or getting hit with drive-by viruses [08:51] lws, other thing how can i open plugins? [08:52] hendaus: sorry? [08:52] which reminds me, some of the other distros i tried out had firewalls preinstalled [08:52] does xubuntu have one or do i need to install it? [08:52] hendaus: trustme - go to the weechat homepage and check out theior docs.. You will miss most of the good features untill you read their docs, :) [08:52] hendaus: see the weechat documentation for information on how to extend weechat [08:52] hendaus: and they got some must have scripts also to enhance weechat [08:52] mostholy: its 'installed' byut theres no default rules.. [08:52] Dr_Willis: which must-have scripts? because i don't have them ;) [08:53] Dr_Willis, lws ok thanx :) [08:53] lws: 'iset' is a Must have.. :) [08:53] lws: i also like the 'shortenurl' script [08:53] Dr_Willis: can you describe those in 25 words or less? [08:53] dr_willis do i need an additional software package to set the rules up? could that be part of my problem with viewing live feeds? [08:53] lws: they are also in the repos i recall under weechat-scripts [08:53] !firewall | mostholy [08:53] mostholy: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [08:54] mostholy: i dont use firewall on my linux box's - i let the router handle it [08:54] Dr_Willis: actually using archlinux ;) [08:54] lws: then grab the 'weeget' script and it can download the others :) [08:54] Dr_Willis: :P [08:54] dr_willis: you figure i'm safe enough with clamav and a decent linksys router? [08:54] lws: weeget is a veyr neat idea. a script package manager. :) [08:54] mostholy: why do you even need clamav? [08:55] mostholy: in practice, i don't even bother [08:55] mostholy: you proberly wouldbe safe enouigh with out the router even [08:55] mostholy: any antivirus is for the benefit of the windows computers on your network [08:55] mostholy: if you have no services installed.. you are proberly safe from outside attacks. [08:55] dr_willis: i guess i'm just still paranoid from running windows and never, ever seeming to have enough security [08:55] back [08:55] mostholy: the biggest danger to a ubuntu box these days i see.. is the end users doing somthing silly. [08:55] the last virus i had turned my windows box into a zombie [08:55] mostholy: and as long as you don't have gaping security holes like anonymous-access file sharing on your computer, you can dispense with the firewall [08:56] mostholy: how many brains did it get before you stopped it? [08:56] maco: it definitely got min [08:56] mostholy: windows and linux are radically different in how they do firewalls also. - [08:56] mine* [08:57] is there a GUI for setting firewall rules? i'm still not fully comfortable with the command line [08:57] !firewall | mostholy [08:57] mostholy: suffice it to say that linux machines are only threatened by problems originating between the keyboard and chair [08:57] mostholy: gufw [08:58] lws: not completely true... there've been like 30 viruses in the wild... but yeah... most stuff does require a degree of gullibility [08:58] ive not even heard of any wild viruses lately [08:58] me neither [08:58] 'viruses gone wile!' [08:58] so by anonymous-access file sharing, does that include bittorrent? [08:58] the last one i heard of was a cross-platform OOo macro virus [08:58] hihi. having issues installing my graphics driver. http://pastebin.com/vD1Ripmz [08:58] and you have the argument.. 'is a virus that affects redhat XXX service ZZZ version q.w.e actually a threat :) [08:59] before that... i dont think thereve been any others in the 4 years ive used linux [08:59] mostholy: nah, i'm talking about say, sharing your entire root filesystem over FTP that anyone can log into without a password [08:59] meep! [08:59] lws: heh. i won't be doing that [08:59] latest news on viruses ive seen point to a surge in 'auto run malware - spreading by usb flash drives' on windows. :) [08:59] using lucid, wifi keeps disconnecting! did not happened in older ubuntu versions. it happens when traffic is high, even a mere 200~300Kb/s of traffic load to an ftp on my home network causes wlan interface to go down. saw a couple of threads out in the forums that seem to relate to this, the solution being reverting to older ubuntu versions. is this the only option? i don't know how to check the logs and such so i can find out more abou [08:59] t what could be the problem... can someone help me? does anyone know anything about this issue? [08:59] mostholy: then you'll be fine. ;) [09:00] lws: do you think the default firewal settings could be blocking live video feeds? [09:00] Dr_Willis: yes that was just declassified last week... i found it funny to learn that it was classified to start with when the hacker community's been talking about it for years [09:00] mostholy: by default, no firewall [09:00] nice [09:01] i think, at least - i'm not actually on ubuntu right now, so i can't check [09:01] lws: you're right [09:02] ok well, thanks for the links and insight. i'm gonna go try some of the suggested fixes for my video feed viewing issues [09:02] i would be checking to see you have the full set of gstreamer codecs instead [09:02] has anyone else had any problems viewing webcams that use RTMP streams? [09:02] /gone, dinnertime! [09:02] never had an issue installing this driver before but im getting an error this time if anyone has any ideas. http://pastebin.com/vD1Ripmz [09:02] its the One Damn Thing that i can't seem to do with linux [09:04] once again: anyone has any problems with the wifi connection under high traffic load on ubuntu 10.4 lucid? [09:04] Hello, I just installed the latest ubuntu on a old machine I have. Im trying to VNC into the machine from snow leopard and it connects just fine but it does not update. [09:05] mostholy: i'm guessing you can't do that, AND also can't make everything crash like under windows :p [09:05] I mean it wont refresh its just stuck on whatever was on the screen to begin with. [09:05] diogosales: vista handled the everything-crashing part for me, thanks. :P [09:06] eheh :) [09:06] i'm happy to leave it behind me, like a bad dream [09:06] Nk26: ive noticed that issue befor also.. i tried a normal vnc server (tightvnc) and it would work. [09:06] if i can just sort out these live video feed issues [09:06] Nk26: you may want to check the forums - I never did see a actual fix for the gnome vino vnc not updating issue [09:07] Do you know if its only a bug on the latest ubuntu? [09:07] Nk26: if you set up a X server on os-x (whatever it was called) You could just ssh -X remotebox and run apps. no vnc needed [09:07] Nk26: sometimes disabling effects (compiz) helps [09:07] Nk26: no idea. I dident dig into it every much. [09:07] Nk26: yea. if using vnc to get to the 'current desktop' youi will want compiz disabled. [09:07] I dont even know if i tried that [09:08] Is anybody here familiar with symbian? [09:08] ok ill give it a shot. I did try jollyfast vnc just now and same problem [09:09] is there a ubuntu 10.10 channel [09:09] is ubuntu 10.10 even out yet? [09:09] Tweaky: yes. #ubuntu+1 [09:09] 10.04? [09:09] diva: no. [09:09] diva: 10.10 is in alpha. [09:10] i am unable to install any pakages due to an error occured during the installation of linux kernel image 24 any body can help.. [09:10] Hey all [09:11] what does ldd look at to find out which libraries to use? [09:11] ldd is showing that one library is pulling in libraries from the wrong directory [09:11] specifically $HOME/kde when it shouldn't be [09:11] could anyone tell me how to get thumbnails and previews in nautilus [09:11] riyaz@riyaz-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install vim [09:11] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [09:12] JohnFlux: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html [09:12] pls any body help [09:12] riyaz: so have you done "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? [09:12] run sudo dpkg --configure -a? [09:13] swedemike:yes i done but it stuns the system sleeping all processes [09:13] riyaz: then that problems is what you should ask (and give details) about. [09:13] SwedeMike: I looked at that, but it doesn't help [09:14] SwedeMike: I don't have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, I don't have $HOME/kde in ld.so.conf [09:14] SwedeMike: It's not mentioned in ld.so.cache, and I reran ldconfig anyway [09:14] JohnFlux: then perhaps the application itself adds it to the path for itself? === SpiritualDetox__ is now known as SpiritualDetox [09:15] Works perfect with compiz disabled :) Thanks everyone [09:15] about wifi misterious disconnect problems under heavy network load: which system logs should i tail for clues? dmesg? [09:15] could anyone tell me how to get thumbnails and previews in nautilus [09:15] swedemike:i just tryed to install updates but in which a linux image gets updated but it doesn't get completed and showed crash report for there the problem continues [09:15] SwedeMike: nah - specifically the installed-from-ubuntu kde programs are trying to link against my $HOME/kde version [09:15] SwedeMike: and thus crashing [09:17] JohnFlux: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kdevelop&m=97731507412943&w=2 something like that perhaps? [09:17] JohnFlux: perhaps kde is setting the variable somewhere for some programs? [09:18] JohnFlux: I really don't know, just googling wildly. [09:19] hi guys I am having problems with Desktop Effects. [09:20] when if I use none for desktop effects, many good shortcuts wont work [09:20] hello to all [09:20] if I use normal I see a little freezes in the screen [09:20] swedemike:could u get me? [09:20] i.e. while maximizing windows , I wait 1 sec, then it does maximizing. [09:20] Hi, I need advice. I would like to install the ZendDebugger on my machine. What dir choose? /usr/bin/ZendDebugger? [09:20] and boom goes the dynamite :p wifi down again, a mere 500kb/s over to my personal ftp :/ [09:21] riyaz: you're not providing enough details so there is nothing I can suggest. [09:21] i.e. my Guake windows appears in 1-2sec when I press F12 [09:21] i've grabbed this from log viewer (log: "debug"): http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/4qCzXU9s [09:21] it slows down very much [09:21] i am new to ubuntu, can any one tell me can i have different themes on cube [09:21] can anyone help? [09:21] on my first booting, I was using extra visual effects, but they were working very well. [09:22] can't I adjust Visual Effects separately? [09:22] is there any one to help me out. [09:22] swedemike:ok, can u tell what info essential..? [09:22] Hello, I was using ssh for while without a problem, But today, I chnaged the user password via ssh, and after that, I keep getting this error. Can anyone give me a solution for this? ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [09:24] i've seen this topic on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487807 but solution seems to be reverting to previous ubuntu version (non-lts :/) [09:24] power management is off by default on my wlan [09:24] interface [09:24] hi kazun [09:24] you need to do this steps [09:24] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/warning-remote-host-identification-has-changed-error-and-solution/ [09:24] sorry, flaky connection [09:25] when I look in /usr/lib, I see libstreamanalyzer.so.0 and libstreamanalyzer.so.0.7.2 [09:25] why is there no libstreamanalyzer.so.0.7 symlink? [09:25] shouldn't such a symlink have been created automatically? or am I thinking wrongly? [09:25] JohnFlux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:25] Hello, I got a problem. Apparently special characters (specific to denmark æ,ø,å) makes it nontrivial to copy a CD to iso?! Is this the case? and if so what can I do about it? [09:25] guys can't I adjust Visual Effects separately? [09:25] what do you mean, alp? [09:26] could anyone tell me how to get thumbnails and previews in nautilus [09:26] + I want to increase my swap area. http://i36.tinypic.com/1z3qmo4.jpg look at this SS. how can I move unalloced space next to the swap? [09:26] diogosales: there are 3 options for visual effects, none-normal-extra. I want some normal features on my none. [09:26] Compiz extra effects are very nice to see [09:27] sadiqpkp: they are cool. but they started to work very slow on second boot. [09:27] alp: i think there's some sort of a compiz manager on the repositories; search for it and feedback to us :) [09:27] + I want to increase my swap area. http://i36.tinypic.com/1z3qmo4.jpg look at this SS. how can I move unalloced space next to the swap? [09:27] diogosales: ok thanks another question [09:28] i have 1 GB of ram but I don't get slow down [09:28] !info compiz-extra [09:29] Package compiz-extra does not exist in lucid [09:29] alp: about the swap can't help, not really sure, sorry [09:29] never had an issue installing this driver before but im getting an error this time if anyone has any ideas. http://pastebin.com/vD1Ripmz [09:29] !Info compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [09:30] Is it possible to install Ubuntu onto a machine hard drive so that when it is first booted, it installs itself the right way onto itself? [09:31] eboyjr what do you want to do o.o? [09:31] could anyone tell me how to get thumbnails and previews in nautilus [09:32] any of you guys switched from fedora to ubuntu? [09:32] madfox: Install ubuntu onto a disk drive so that when I finally put the disk drive into a computer, it will install Ubuntu. It doesn't have a network card, CD drive or anything. [09:33] guys how can I move that unallocated space next to the swap partition in GParted? http://i36.tinypic.com/1z3qmo4.jpg <-- look here [09:33] eboyjr umm it would already be installed o.O when you install an OS it gets installed on the disk drive, doesnt go anywhere else [09:34] madfox: Doesn't Ubuntu need to configure itself for the machine it's installed on? [09:34] I'm having a problem with my wireless network. Ubuntu will recognize other wireless connections, but not mine. === xxxx is now known as Guest66475 [09:34] hi, i build i beowulf cluster with mpich mpi/lam, but i dunno how to use it properly. what im suppossed to do after launching lamboot? how can i, in example, play a game dealing the job charge between the cluster? [09:35] eboyjr well, I don't believe it should have too bad of hardware issues. Most distros I know of run hardware checks on startup. I don't see why ubuntu would be different [09:35] who asked for nautilus? [09:36] eboyjr certainly couldnt hurt to try it anyways [09:36] Felix00: Look at Libs, and the Intell gcc compilers for example,s a bit Off-Topic for this channel though. [09:36] Can I get some help? [09:36] I'm having a problem with my wireless network. Ubuntu will recognize other wireless connections, but not mine. [09:36] guys how can I move that unallocated space next to the swap partition in GParted? http://i36.tinypic.com/1z3qmo4.jpg <-- look here [09:36] hey guys how can I move that unallocated space next to the swap partition in GParted? http://i36.tinypic.com/1z3qmo4.jpg <-- look here [09:36] Yes, of course [09:36] oh sorry for posting twice. [09:36] KE1HA: Libs? [09:37] I'm having a problem with my wireless network. Ubuntu will recognize other wireless connections, but not mine. [09:38] guys any idea about how can I move that damn unallocated space in GParted? http://i36.tinypic.com/1z3qmo4.jpg , [09:38] Felix00: Too much fer this channel. If you want to play around a bit, try some HPL benchmarks: http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/ [09:38] madfox: Hrm alright thank you but I was wondering what Ubuntu is doing when it takes so long to boot from a LiveCD before installation [09:38] do you mean wifi or mobile broadband? [09:38] madfox: You know, besides the CD drive speed [09:39] eboyjr thatd be the cd speed [09:39] I may help you if about mobile [09:39] eboyjr imo a good rule of thumb is a livecd will on avg run a 1/3rd of the speed as it will once installed [09:40] madfox: Oh okay cool thank you :) [09:40] alp_: creative resizeing of whats next to it? grow, eat it up, shrink it from the other side. [09:41] Dr_Willis: I will move it next to the swap [09:41] and merge with swap [09:41] Hello, When I try to do ssh I gets an error saying "Connection to 192.168.0.2 closed by remote host. [09:41] Connection to 192.168.0.2 closed." after that, I can't ssh anymore. It says "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" [09:41] Dr_Willis: I cant even move sda6 [09:41] Please can anybody help? [09:42] Dr_Willis: because sda6 is ubuntu partition and cant unmount it [09:42] kasun: "try to ssh?" [09:42] please be more specific about what you're trying to SSH to and from [09:42] lws, I was trying "ssh username@ip-address" [09:42] kasun sounds like you don't have a sshd running on the remote host :) [09:42] COULD ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO GET THUMBNAILS AND PREVIEWS IN NAUTILUS [09:43] what are you trying to ssh into? [09:43] and i concur with madfox [09:43] can someone hit me to a IRC channel where people are likely to know about cd copying ,iso and unicode issues? (AFAIK std iso dosn't support unicode) [09:43] you need to install openssh-server on the machine you're trying to ssh into, and make sure it's running [09:43] COULD ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO DISABLE CAPSLOCK? :P [09:43] jadoe: get an electric drill and go to town on your keyboard ;) [09:43] jadoe: sudo rm -rf / [09:43] !danger [09:43] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [09:44] alp_: careful... [09:44] oh ok [09:44] alp_: Please do not post that command, for any reason, in this channel. [09:44] i like how there's actually a !danger macro ready to go for that [09:44] alp_: people have been known to be perma-banned for doing that. [09:44] ouch [09:44] i cant open my broadband connection in ubuntu .. its says error in command line [09:44] yes, be careful. [09:44] COULD ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO GET THUMBNAILS AND PREVIEWS IN NAUTILUS [09:44] help me some one [09:44] I was just angry to Gparted. [09:45] alp_: i always do such tasks with a live cd. [09:45] pie_time: no. [09:45] that command just removes the complete files and folders in / directory [09:45] Dr_Willis: hmm I have one. thanks I'll try. [09:45] !caps > pie_time [09:45] pie_time, please see my private message [09:45] Check the preferences of Nautilus [09:45] pie_time: theres a setting somewhere in the menus to show/disable them. theres also settings to show/not show them over remote shares, or other non local files [09:45] madfox, but it was working ok, it happened suddenly. Does it mean sshd got crashed? [09:46] sadiqpkp : i cant open my broadband connection in ubuntu .. its says error in command line [09:46] to get audio previews install all the codecs needed [09:46] kasun: likely. [09:46] or, something strange [09:46] audio previews can be supriseing. :) [09:46] kasun possibly, that error is a general catch-all for the remote host not allowing a TCP connection on that port [09:46] am getting error while installing packages : http://paste.ubuntu.com/485333/ [09:46] hello routers, is it mobile broadband? [09:46] yes [09:46] lws, I have openssh installed, and it was working fine before i got the above error message: "scp Connection to 192.168.0.2 closed by remote host. [09:46] " [09:46] it is [09:47] kasun do you have physical access to the machine? [09:47] kasun: walk over to the remote machine and try "ssh localhost" [09:47] why CouchDB comes with Ubuntu? [09:47] Are you connecting with bluetooth? [09:47] alp_: I tend to find that it's easier if I write everything down first, how I want it to be partitioned, then go about creating the partitions so that I don't get stuck with unallocated space like that [09:47] kasun cause do what lws said if so :) [09:47] maybe it's because of the firewall. [09:47] sadiqpkp : no .. its USB stick [09:47] alp_: because Ubuntu uses Gnome. [09:47] Gnea: I didnt knew swap should be at least 2-3 GB. while partitioning. [09:47] Wow, k [09:48] Gnea: gnome uses couchdb? [09:48] alp_: should be double the ram [09:48] alp_ 2x your ram ;) [09:48] shit 6 GB [09:48] Does your computer identify it? [09:48] alp_: no, it's bloat, like gnome :) [09:48] i dunno, i have 4gb of ram [09:48] swap should be 2-3G?who says that? [09:48] sadiqpkp : yes .. its shows the exe icon [09:48] and i've never gone into swap unless using multiple virtual machines ;) [09:48] sadiqpkp : but when i click it .. its says error command line [09:48] alp_ windows pretty much has a similar less functioning thing of same size, so dont worry bout losing space [09:48] well, once you get past the 1-2gB of RAM limit, you can safely start scaling ;) [09:48] xuekan: if you want to suspene/hibernate = you need swap = to ram i hear [09:49] I cannot play an audio disc. The problem occurs when I double-click on "Audio Disc" in Nautilus, it returns error "Unable to mount location. Location is unmountable". I have not yet tried anything to solve this problem. [09:49] sadiqpkp : can i paste it to you the error ? [09:49] Gnea: madfox: I'm having problems with visual effects. they slow down my desktop engine a lot (started on second boot). If I increase swap, will it be solved? [09:49] xorwhy: you mean a normal music cd right? [09:49] After you plugin the stick, which device is shown in /dev? [09:49] xorwhy: anything happens if you right-click on it? [09:49] Yes, and data DVD's are mountable and functional fully. [09:49] alp_: have a look at the system monitor [09:49] madfox: I know, that's similar to pagefile eh? [09:50] I have not tested data CD's. [09:50] alp_ its possible if the visual effects store any info in the ram. [09:50] alp_: maybe, but compiz is a memhog running on top of a memhog [09:50] xorwhy: one normally dosent mount audio cds [09:50] lws: which process? [09:50] alp_: if you have spare ram still, and it's still slow, then increasing swap isn't going to fix it [09:50] alp_: system-wide [09:50] If the usb stick is huwai you may need to install something to you computer [09:50] xorwhy: you start a music player and let it play them - or rip them to mp3 or whatever [09:50] yes its huwai [09:50] what i am supposed to install ? [09:50] madfox, lws in remote machine, "ssh localhost" gave an error saying "could not resolve hostname". So, I tried "ssh ip-address". And it returned the same error of "ssh_exchange_identification ..." [09:50] how to tell if graphics driver is enabled? [09:50] kasun: !!! === Terminator_ is now known as Terminator [09:51] kasun: please run "cat /etc/hosts" [09:51] blateh3: and whats your video card/chipset? [09:51] kasun that sounds bad [09:51] sounds like her machine doesn't know that 'localhost' should point to '127.0.0.1' [09:51] which can cause all kinds of fun [09:51] Dr_Willis, that gave me previews for most items, but im still not getting them for videos [09:51] then you may have to first install wine, and then open the cd, somewhat icon like that, and install corresponding softs in it [09:51] Dr_Willis: Surprising then, that the mount function is issued automagically when an audio CD is inserted. I will try opening with a media player. [09:51] pie_time: need codecs to make thumbnails, check all codecs installed [09:51] wine ? [09:52] what cd ? [09:52] Best of Baroque [09:52] pie_time: i only recall ever seeing just a 'image' for a video file.. and even then not all video files show them. Never figured out why. (file size limit perhaps) [09:52] i dont have a cd .. im installing it by downloading [09:52] Gnea: compiz has 2% cpu and ~15mb of memory. is that a big deal? [09:52] the ubuntu OS [09:52] alp_: compiz won't be using any CPU sitting still [09:52] lws, yeah, anyway /etc/hosts has an entry saying "127.0.0.1 localhost"!! [09:52] Dr_Willis, ive looked at videos of all types and they have codecs installed but im still not seeing images [09:53] bring up the CPU/memory graphs and start doing things with compiz [09:53] like say, spinning the cube [09:53] when you plug in the stick some new drives are mounted, isn't it? [09:53] Dr_Willis: Thank you, that worked flawlessly. [09:53] Dr_Willis: its an nvidia card on a laptop, im running from the livecd atm. [09:53] lws: why? does not it do any process? [09:53] yes it is [09:53] kasun: here's from my /etc/hosts - 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost demiurge [09:53] 'demiurge' is the machine name [09:54] On of it contain some softwares to be installed [09:54] blateh3: run the nvidia-settings tool to see if you are using the nvidia drivers [09:54] xorwhy: a live cd will not be using the nvidia drivers. it will be using the opensources novau (or whateve rits called) drivers [09:54] test [09:54] alp_: dunno, you could always try disabling compiz and seeing if your machine speeds up? [09:54] yes .. i already explored inside the new drives ...but i cant install nothing [09:54] alp_: SCIENCE! [09:54] its all error in command line [09:55] Dr_Willis: I think you have myself and another's questions/comments combined. [09:55] lws, madfox: ok, it doesn't matter much as I am ok with 127.0.0.1. What should do now to restart the sshd (may be Start!) ? [09:55] let me paste it to u the error sadiqpkp [09:55] to install you first need to install wine [09:55] kasun it matters -_- [09:55] kasun: "sudo /etc/init.d/openssh restart" [09:55] blateh3: a live cd will not be using the nvidia drivers. it will be using the opensources novau (or whateve rits called) drivers [09:55] !info wine [09:55] wine (source: wine1.2): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (dummy package).

[09:56] kasun the machine uses localhost for alot of things. you will save youreself a lot of headache by fixint that line now [09:56] Aren't you using ubuntu? [09:56] this is not ubuntu now .. [09:56] Dr_Willis: yes, but I tried installing the nvidia drivers and restarting X, [09:56] im change the OS [09:56] lws: yeah I do that. the problem is my windows freeze for 1 sec. i.e. when I maximize them on Visual Effects enabled. but not on disabled. on first boot of clean installation , I played with those effects. they were running very well. they started to suck after 2nd boot ... I'm wondering the reason. [09:56] then? [09:56] ls [09:57] alp_: revert to default settings and test? [09:57] Dr_Willis: brb [09:57] sadiqpkp : is that wine is already in the ubuntu OS ? [09:57] alp_: performing experiments provides definite answers [09:57] blateh3: that proberly wontwork on a live cd [09:57] madfox, I don't know, /etc/hosts has an entry with "127.0.0.1 localhost". don't know what got broke! Anyway, im stuck with a bigger issue now [09:57] kasun: that line in hosts is normal [09:57] No, it's not, you have to install, but it's already present in gOS, etc [09:58] kasun ok then thats good [09:58] okay [09:58] lws: there are 3 settings. none-normal-extra. None=disabled. I am happy with that but I need normal or extra effects. on first boot, I've used Extra effects, It was working very well. However then it started to work very slow. I'm looking for the idea behind this issue. [09:58] can you "ping localhost"? [09:58] im downloading it now .. [09:58] kasun but what bigger issue? [09:58] after that i installed them into the ubuntu [09:58] and then whats next ? [09:58] if you can't install wine you may check alternate way [09:58] did you install wine? [09:59] im downloading the wine package now .. [09:59] Dr_Willis: My problem is solved. Autoplay functions properly within Nautilus as it issues a mount command and then a load media directory within Nautilus command. It does the same however with audio CD's which is strange, since it clearly detects the media type before issuing the erroneous commands. [09:59] Dr_Willis: do we have enough privileges to run gparted on live cd? what is root passwd of livecd? [09:59] anyone know a good channel for programming in linux? [09:59] specifically C/C++ [09:59] sadiqpkp : wine1.2_1.2.orig.tar.gz [10:00] is that it ? [10:00] The complete wine is about 12 mb, isn't it? [10:00] 21.4 MiB [10:00] Wine and (wine + dependencies) are two very different file sizes [10:01] Before downloading you first check that the drive contain some exe files, [10:01] okay [10:01] Then download [10:01] SteveGriff: #c++ and #C #python [10:01] and if its dont have? [10:01] cant do it rite ? [10:01] SteveThing: sri, was fer you: #c++ and #C #python [10:01] lws, madfox, its my original problem "can't ssh". I'm trying to apply what you said. will get back here soon [10:02] guys do we have enough privileges to run gparted on live cd? what is root passwd of livecd? [10:02] if no exe files, you may have to check wvdial, which I have not tested yet [10:02] oh [10:02] ok i`ll brb [10:02] alp_ just sudo it [10:02] k [10:03] madfox: thx [10:03] KE1HA, thanx, already found it :) [10:04] Hello router [10:04] are you there [10:04] hello [10:04] yes im here === anonymous is now known as Guest33335 [10:04] what is it === trinity is now known as anon [10:04] ls [10:04] did you try to configure new connection in mobile broadband?

[10:12] connect to ssh shell account [10:12] jibadeeha decrypts it yeah. But its not very noticeable and the slight intial slowdown is worth the risk [10:12] Just type sudo apt-get install putty in shell [10:12] Rahmat: use ssh in gnome-terminal [10:12] jibadeeha whole disk :) [10:12] rahmat: just se ssh [10:12] Heyy, is it usual for ubuntu server 10.04 to become unresponsive for a few minutes, then start working again?

[10:16] how do I login to empathy? It won't let me :/ [10:16] it says status is set to offline [10:17] but there is nowhere to change it [10:17] vigge, wat is the error ms [10:17] veggie have you setup keychain? [10:17] error ms? [10:17] vigge, error ms [10:17] error msg [10:17] It just says "Status is set to offline" [10:17] oh [10:17] i never liked empathy [10:17] Tweaky: Don't think so. This one appeared with the chat/mail thingy and deleted by itself. [10:18] vigge is your keychain setup? [10:18] timh: try adding indicator applet [10:18] Jibadeeha: Just saw your post, You may want to check into dm-crypt as well. [10:18] yeah I think so [10:18] Tweaky: ok [10:18] thanks KE1HA will look at that [10:18] how do I check? [10:18] vigge, edit - accounts [10:18] vigge is keychain is not unlocked, you can't login to your empathy accounts [10:19] Jibadeeha: and if your really feel the need, it too can encrypt swap [10:19] thanks sinurge [10:19] sshfs reports: "The authenticity of host 't42 (127.0.1.1)' can't be established." What does this mean? [10:19] bullgard4: I dunno, but 127.* is localhost [10:19] KE1HA, would you recommend secure deleting your hard drive before encrypting or does it take care of that [10:19] hope that helps [10:19] K [10:19] it's my guess to what's wrong [10:20] bullgard4: what are you trying to do? If it's SSH, then it's because you don't have the host's public key in your known hosts list [10:20] ectospasm: That's the problem. The authenticity of the own host needs to be established? This does not make sense to me. [10:20] Tweaky: that did the trick. those two appeared by themselves. [10:21] GTroy_, could be, but then keyring issue would have should up with a pop up saying keyring is wrong i guess. since it hasnt come setting up accounts could be it [10:21] I disabled it and enabled it and it seems like it works again [10:21] timh: yeah thats the indicator applet ^_^ [10:21] ectospasm: Please re-read. It's sshfs. [10:21] ls [10:22] can some1 tell me how to remove GCC Stack-Smashing Protector . gcc command -fno-stack-protector is not working :( [10:22] bullgard4: yes, if you're trying to connect to your localhost, you need to have your localhost's key in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file [10:22] #include [10:22] bullgard4: typically it asks you yes or no if you want to accept the key [10:22] bullgard4: if this is the first time you're making this connection, you've never seen the key before, so you have to accept it. [10:23] ectospasm: It does not make sense to me to establish my own host. [10:23] ectospasm: It does not make sense to me to establish the autheticity my own host. [10:23] bullgard4: what's the full command you're using? Are you setting up an sshfs share in /etc/fstab? [10:23] Jibadeeha: I would start fresh with any encryption setup, just to ensure all works as intended and I have a bacup first. [10:24] KE1HA, okay will do that .. going to be a busy day then :) [10:24] can some1 tell me how to remove GCC Stack-Smashing Protector . gcc command -fno-stack-protector is not working :( [10:24] Hey, i just try to run xchat from ubuntu server, and it gave me an error, is there anyway to run IRC from ubuntu (which has no gui) [10:24] hello, madfox lws, after sometime of working I found that sshd is already started. When I try to restart it says it's already loaded. any suggestion of what I should do now? [10:24] Jibadeeha: It's better to have to many backups, then not enough :-) [10:24] xzil0: probably the wrong channel for that, ask in #gcc [10:25] ectospasm, tnx [10:25] ectospasm: No. -- The full command is: '~$ sshfs detlef@T42:/home/detlef/ ~/T43sshfs [10:25] trinity: look into irssi or weechat (or even bitchX (shudder)) [10:26] KE1HA, i've got a nice rsync script for my backups, so shouldn't take too long though i've not run it in a while tut tut [10:26] * trinity slaps anon around a bit with a large trout [10:26] bullgard4: OK, you're connecting to T42, yes? Have you ever connected to T42 via SSH before? [10:26] ectospasm: I am going to connect to T43. [10:27] ectospasm: I have connected to T43 before using ssh. [10:27] Jibadeeha: yep, same here, rsync + tgz incrementals', works great. [10:27] Jibadeeha, KE1HA : bah, rsync [10:27] bullgard4: which host are you running the sshfs command from? [10:27] real men use git ;) [10:28] ectospasm: From T42.

[10:30] ke1ha: would you like me to tell you about how to set it up? [10:30] it's non-obvious the first time [10:31] lws: sure if you have a script or somethign to look at, that'd be good.

I know it must be possable, since this entire thing looks built for CLI [10:34] anon_: Use IRSSI [10:34] which is a good dictionary that doesnot require internet connection? [10:34] anon_: use irssi or weechat [10:34] anon_: why wouldnt you use gui [10:34] bhatta, try googling. [10:35] bhatta: you can configure the GNOME dictionary app to use a local data store. I've done it before, but I can't remember how I did so [10:35] thaks [10:35] thanks [10:35] hmm [10:35] bhatta: here's a hint, set up a dict server on your local machine, and tell GNOME Dictionary to use it instead of the Internet [10:36] ls [10:36] anon_: i perer weechat to irssi. [10:37] Sweet, thank you SMITTIX!!!!! [10:37] does kernel 2.6.32-24 has stack protection??? [10:37] ls [10:37] ectospam: how to setup? i am newbie [10:37] why do you prefer weechat, Dr_Willis? [10:38] omega__: better featureset [10:38] imho irssi's much more configurable. [10:38] rockhopper: I found weechat more configurable then irssi [10:38] hm.. [10:38] or at least its scripts and features - were such that i dident need to do a lot of configruing [10:39] and its 'smart filtering' feature is a godsend [10:39] its a matter of personal experiences. so, there's no single best irc client [10:39] bhatta: install dictd, configure it how you like (exactly how is left as an exercise for the reader), point GNOME Dictionary applet at the local host, voilà! [10:39] I couldn't join python channel, [10:39] ok [10:39] Ive not noticed irssi having a feature to ignore parts/joins of everyone EXCEPT those that have just recently talked in a channel. [10:40] Error(+r) you need to be Identified with services [10:40] rockhopper: I agree with Dr_Willis. weechat doesn't require as many plugins to get desired functionality like irssi does. [10:40] sadiqpkp: so register you rnick and identify [10:40] BRB [10:40] One more bit of help, i seem to have a few user names "stuck" in here.... like, anon for example, its showing up in this room, yet im not loged in as it.

[10:43] bullgard4: don't mention it! [10:43] ectospam: last time I used smth like sudo apt get install ... [10:43] clear [10:43] bhatta: aptitude is a synonym for apt-get [10:44] Actually, it's just another TUI frontend for apt [10:44] is it really? i though aptitude was different than apt-get?? [10:44] Why are my old firewire modules that I blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf still being loaded? [10:44] anonomous: aptitude is awee bit smarter than apt-get [10:44] ectospam: ok. it says - couldnt open lock file var/lib..... [10:44] anonomous: it's different. apt-get doesn't do everything. aptitude does. If you want to search for a package, you have apt-cache search or aptitude search [10:45] anonomous: also, you can just run 'aptitude' with no arguments, and you get a menu-driven interface [10:45] aptitude gives me one less command I have to remember [10:45] no, I'm not [10:45] lws: I was about to say that [10:45] but how to register online without ssh? [10:45] ectospasm: One additional question: The directory »Music« in the remote computer shows a symbol with a note emblem. Why is this note emblem not shown in the mounted directory on the local Nautilus? [10:45] aptitude seems to handle dependencies better than apt-get [10:46] mfraz74: it also uninstalls orphan packages when they are no longer needed [10:46] sadiqpkp, do you want to join the python channel on freenode? [10:46] which is a nice anti-bloating feature === bilalakhtar_ is now known as bilalakhtar [10:46] bullgard4: that's something the local machine (T43) adds in Nautilus. You can apply that emblem on the directory in Nautilus on T42, but sshfs doesn't transmit that data (it's not in the protocol) [10:47] Yes, I need [10:47] ectospam: ok. it says - couldnt open lock file var/lib..... [10:47] Wow... i am starting to like aptiitude [10:47] bhatta: are you starting it with sudo? [10:47] bhatta: maybe "sudo service dictd start" [10:47] sadiqpkp, Have you registered your nick at freenode? [10:48] ectospasm: Why is this detail not in the protocol? [10:48] no, I haven't, how to register? i don't have any ssh clients [10:48] no [10:48] SUDO does!!! [10:49] sadiqpkp, if not, type in /msg nickserv register [10:49] sadiqpkp, you don't need an ssh client to register at irc networks [10:49] bullgard4: SFTP knows nothing of GNOME emblems === xxx is now known as Guest85332 [10:50] ectospasm: I see. Thank you very much for your information. [10:50] bullgard4: OpenSSH is meant to work on ALL Unix-based OSes, including Linux.

[10:54] ectospasm, If i setup the dictd server, can a bot from outside access that server? [10:54] jle_: I'm not really a Linux person but is there a reason why creating and formatting a partition and doing a "cp -RpP / /destination" (or whatever Linux equivalent is, this would be in FreeBSD) and installing the bootloader wouldn't work? [10:54] bhatta, run the daemon [10:55] Or do you need a fresh install? [10:55] daemon tool?? like the image file executer [10:55] no [10:55] daemons're like services in windows [10:55] type in sudo service dictd start [10:55] ok rockhopper [10:56] bhatta, type in "sudo service dictd start" [10:56] !en | bhatta [10:56] bhatta: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [10:56] rockhopper: only if it listens on 0.0.0.0 or x.y.z.h (being the local IP address). Limit it ot localhost or 127.0.0.0 and you're fine [10:56] bhatta: no, daemontools gets its name from the UNIX daemon (service) [10:56] ectospasm, I want to setup dictd on my local machine and my bot's in an external shell! [10:57] it says 'already running' [10:57] Zhwazi: That went a little over my head :-) [10:57] rockhopper: so have it listen on 0.0.0.0, have it connect to your router/firewall on some highnumbered random port, and point your bot at that. [10:57] Zhwazi: I have no qualms about having the new distro alongside the existing, somewhat broken one, if that helps. [10:58] rockhopper: although, that's only useful if you want to run your own, nonstandard dicitonary against it [10:58] ectospasm: You are referring to OpenSSH. But 'man sshfs' does not mention OpenSSHFS. Rather, it metions that sshfs is based on FUSE and: "On the remote computer the SFTP subsystem of SSH is used." [10:58] bullgard4: sshfs is built on FUSE, but it connects to an SSH system via SFTP. Confused yet? [10:58] ectospasm, are there any public dictd servers available? [10:58] bhatta: daemon tools is an image "mounting" software not an image file executer. [10:58] I need to install DAEMON... [10:59] ectospasm: Your last statement does not confuse me. [10:59] rockhopper: dict.org:2628 [10:59] jle_: new distro or new OS install? [10:59] bullgard4: OK, great! [10:59] bhatta, if your dictd's already running, configure your gnome dictionary applet to use the localhost dictd [10:59] ectospasm: Once again, let me thank for your help. [11:00] Zhwazi: New OS install, I guess? I have an Ubuntu installation, I'm just looking to see whether I can install a fresh one on top of that without a CD drive or USB drive needed. [11:00] bullgard4: no problem [11:00] rock: how to configure?? [11:00] bullgard4: sometimes I forget, I've been using some form of Linux since 1997 (-; [11:00] jle_: In theory yes, but it's probably not worth the effort. [11:01] i thought that ubuntu was unix not linux ;P [11:01] unix is not free ;) [11:01] FreeBSD is :P [11:01] Warum überträgt sshfs nicht das Emblem des Symbols des Ordners "Music"? [11:01] And actually I think V7 Unix is free [11:01] jle_: you could set up a PXE boot server on the original Ubuntu, and use a VirtualBox or other VM to connect to it and install on the guest [11:01] And Opensolaris is free [11:01] So Unix is in fact free :) [11:02] ectospam: how to configure gnome applet? [11:02] Hey guys, I tried to install Portable Virtualbox ( http://www.vbox.me/ ) using Wine and it's taking up some massive file somewhere and I don't know where it is. I'm down to 3 mb of space and I don't know what to do [11:02] ectospasm: Given a relatively incompetent user, does this fall into "more trouble than it's worth"? [11:02] Zhwazi: OpenSolaris is no longer free. Yes, you can obtain it free of charge, but you can't download nightly snapshots anymore (Thanks, Papa Larry!) [11:02] Esat: Yes it is, the code that was free is still free [11:02] I'm running Wubi and I installed it to my host directory but there's some huge file it's taking up on my Ubuntu :c [11:03] I can probably locate a USB drive and work my way through that process, mostly I was checking for the existence of some relatively simple solution. [11:03] Zhwazi, : thanks [11:03] Oh crap I'm down to 2 mb now [11:03] jle_: USB key is the simplest solution [11:03] And IllumOS forked Opensolaris to maintain a fully open version [11:03] So now IllumOS is Unix :D [11:03] lolz [11:03] jle_: just download your ISO, fire up Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator (or whatever it's called nowadays) and go! [11:03] here is a question for you all... how this question is answered decides if i switch to ubuntu or not [11:04] i still cant open my broadband connection [11:04] Frostic: hit us with your best shot! [11:04] ... [11:04] ectospasm: Yessir. Thanks for the help, both of you. [11:04] Guys, my disk space is going down, I need some help.. [11:04] CanadianPenguin: don't you mean it's filling up? [11:04] :-P [11:04] Doesn't matter [11:04] Something's still wrong [11:04] portable virtualbox? [11:05] Yes [11:05] for what it's worth, virtualbox virtual hard drives are, by default, 'dynamically expanding' [11:05] Hello! I'm having trouble using external hardware (USB memory stick and headhpones) since the 10.04 upgrade of Xubuntu on my acer TravelMate. the memory stick is working and I've checked with dmesg that the computer recognizes the memory stick but that it does not associate it with an sdb device. I'm really a beginner with linux so I really don't know anything. Anybody knows what to do? [11:05] You seem to be missing the point here [11:05] which means your 20gb virtual disk is initially a 4mb file, and grows as needed [11:05] hjalmar: please post the output of sudo fdisk -l [11:06] The portable virtualbox app is a Windows program. It legally cannot contain the VirtualBox code so it downloads it somewhere. The .exe has a download button in it. I click it and boom, my hard drive fills up and there seems to be no files anywhere [11:06] CanadianPenguin: so, WHY is your disk filling up? Can you look at disk usage analyzer and see [11:06] I looked at the disk usage analyzer and there was nothing different [11:06] lws: sure thing [11:06] hmmmm [11:06] i run a windows 2008 server on a home line----- and when ppl download files over the size 500mb it crashes at about half way though.... my question = with ubuntu will these file transfers fail too or is it just the windows server 2008? [11:06] CanadianPenguin: if your on windows try cleaning out your %temp% folder [11:06] I'm not on windows [11:06] I installed it to my windows root because I'm running wubi [11:06] frostic: that's awfully vague. download files with what, using what protocol? [11:07] Frostic: that's a loaded question. Have you isolated the exact cause on the Win2K8 machine? [11:07] Windows is unbootable, so that's why I'm running wubi...have been running it for 2 months now. Just happened to have it installed [11:07] CanadianPenguin: wait, you're running VirtualBox inside Wubi? Have you seen Inception? [11:07] hi all [11:07] Disk /dev/sda: 40,0 GB, 40007761920 byte [11:07] 255 huvuden, 63 sektorer/spår, 4864 cylindrar [11:07] Enheter = cylindrar av 16065 · 512 = 8225280 byte [11:07] Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [11:07] I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [11:07] hjalmar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:07] Diskidentifierare: 0xa0cda0cd [11:07] i was sadiqpkp [11:07] Hello [11:07] no i have not it seems to fail when ppl download off my apache website :/ [11:08] ectospasm: Inception - "So it turns out that if you run a VM in a VM in a VM in a VM, everything is really slow." [11:08] ectospasm: windows is unbootable + wanted to try running Gentoo Linux [11:08] hjalmar: don't paste blocks of text into the IRC channel - use pastebin [11:08] how to run gnome dictionary [11:08] Frostic: that could be a bug in the build of Apache you're using, could be a bug in the Win2k8 network stack... who knows? [11:08] I just need to know where this seemingly fraudulent app downloaded its files to because I don't see them anywhere [11:08] lws: I'm sorry, I'm a beginner with IRC as well, I don't really know how to do that. [11:09] CanadianPenguin: your temp folder. [11:09] hjalmar: http://pastebin.com/ [11:09] lws: yeah, I couldn't remember the exact quote [11:09] go to pastebin.com [11:09] sure [11:09] dmex: Temp folder has been cleaned several times and is not taking up any space [11:09] paste text in there, click submit, get a link to the text you pasted [11:09] paste that link here [11:09] Hey. Any idea how to force resolution for Ubuntu 10.04? As I know I cant use xorg.conf. Im using Nvidia Geforce :> Any ideas? [11:09] kkszysiu: nvidia-settings [11:09] CanadianPenguin: Aplications>Accesories>Disk use analizer can be of help [11:09] my internet speed is 20/5 if i used ubuntu would it mostlikly fix the download errors? [11:10] Frostic: did you say a 'home line'? [11:10] yes [11:10] .. [11:10] Frostic: we cannot guarantee that [11:10] erusul: Jesus can't anyone read. Disk usage analyzer didn't show any new files [11:10] are you sure it's not dropping out at random times? [11:10] Frostic: It could be the clients, not infact your server. [11:10] CanadianPenguin: be nice [11:10] no its exactly at half the files i tested like 50 times [11:10] Frostic: i would suggest that your users find a downloader that can resume downloads [11:10] CanadianPenguin: how big is the hdd? [11:10] lws: http://pastebin.com/Gwvg58bZ [11:11] wget, downthemall, and others come to mind [11:11] Frostic: but you have no insight on what is exactly crashing. Does Windows blue screen at that point, or what? [11:11] hey [11:11] dmex: 134 gb, wubi was around 5 gb but only had 100 mb left before this [11:11] CanadianPenguin: explaining your issue clrearly and in one line helps a lot. unless you aonly came here to rant. bye [11:11] hjalmar: i don't see any USB drives there, only your main HDD [11:11] erusul: I have explained my problem clearly, it's that nobody seems to have paid any attention to it [11:11] no the download just dies and says failed [11:11] hjalmar: did you have the USB drive plugged in at the time? [11:12] lws: yes I did [11:12] when I dial a DSL connection I cannot ping my router or other pc's on my network anymore, I think it may be the default route being incorrect, any help? [11:12] CanadianPenguin: you want to know whats talking up that 100mb or was it more? [11:12] ok his idea of a download manager sounds good to me === psyt77 is now known as psyt7 [11:12] okay, hjalmar. Can you try unplugging/replugging the drive, then posting the relevant bits of dmesg? [11:13] salad: run "route" by itself [11:13] dmex: I want to know where the files it downloaded are stored because disk usage analyzer/manual searching has been useless so far [11:13] salad: if the route you want isn't there, use "route add..." [11:13] Please help me with system recovery, tried to upgrade to lucid via ssh and my connection died, now it wont boot. i can get in via install cd and run dpkg --configure -a but if fails with "could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-server" [11:13] thanks for the help with that [11:13] lws: http://pastebin.com/S7STduAx [11:13] Hi , how can i remove language icon from notification area ? [11:13] ectospasm, you mean 'route add 10.0.0.2' [11:13] that's my router IP [11:14] salad: there's more to it than that, like a gateway, or whether it should be the default route, but you get the idea [11:14] salad: see the usage of "route --help" [11:14] ectospasm, right thanks, I'll look on google for an example [11:14] ah [11:15] salad: it's amazing how most Linux/UNIX commands are self documenting [11:15] lws: As I said I ran tail -f /var/log/messages and I can't see that the memory stick gets associated with a sda or sdb device [11:15] salad: and there's always "man route" [11:15] salad: but that's supposedly a no-no here [11:15] hjalmar, > this is what I see when i plug a USB drive in: http://lws.pastebin.com/CdfNVL2U === el_nazista is now known as NaGoSt [11:15] hjalmar: so.. are you certain the USB drive works at all? [11:15] hello all [11:15] hey everytime i try to reboot it says policykit is not responding. what is that??? [11:16] ectospasm, yeah, but my brain is toast and I don't have the energy to decipher the regex [11:16] ? [11:16] salad: what regex? [11:16] Tweaky: is a daemon used to enforce and grant permissions [11:16] lws: yes I am, it works fine at a WinXP system [11:16] stand back! I know regular expressions. [11:16] 0 bytes left [11:16] I guess I'm screwed [11:16] ectospasm, well, it looks like regex to me route [-v] [-FC] {add|del|flush} [11:16] salad: those are just command options [11:16] i'm need help. Everybody know address range of kernel data section in memory? [11:16] regular expressions are different [11:17] hjalmar: truly odd. does any USB device work at all? [11:17] meh I should stop speaking and just gt some sleep [11:17] All because of Windows Vista's random problems, a fraudulent app, and Ubuntu's unexplained tendency to waste disk space, my computer's shot until I can find a way to back up my files/reinstall [11:17] salad: the command goes like this "route add gw [default] [11:17] salad: or something like that [11:17] hjalmar: i'm thinking maybe your udev has gone south [11:17] lws: yes, the wireless USB network card works fine [11:18] CanadianPenguin: wat os are you trying to install? and wat os was on the machine befor? [11:18] ^ @ CanadianPenguin: wow, just wow. [11:18] CanadianPenguin: I wouldnt expect to save 100mb [11:18] lws: okay. I'm sorry but I don't understand what that means [11:18] i'm want find "init_mm stuct" using search in kernel address space signatures [11:18] hm i wonder why its not responding? [11:19] where i may find linux programmists? [11:19] hjalmar: as i udnerstand it, udev is the 'hotplugging system', which detects new devices, finds their drivers, and whatever else [11:19] CanadianPenguin: log files, temp files, os updates etc... 100mb would be gone quite quickly [11:19] she/he left [11:19] all: CanadianPenguin is no longer with us [11:19] how tragic [11:20] i'm half convinced s/he came looking for a fight ;) [11:20] hjalmar: i'm stumped @ your problem, just suggesting possible causes [11:20] lol 100mb is like minimum size for like wat windows 95 lol [11:20] damm canadians [11:20] ;p [11:20] heh [11:20] lol [11:20] lws: I see. That would explain why the headphones also are not working. And I run the wireless network card through ndswrapper so maybe it wouldn't be affected. [11:21] hjalmar: try one thing [11:21] hjalmar: /etc/init.d/hal restart [11:21] hal = 'hardware abstraction layer', another piece of the hotplugging puzzle [11:21] lws: ok [11:22] dont ppl ever burn this stuff to dvd so when all else fails they can reinstall? [11:22] sweet.. if I'm chatting in two different channels, I can bounce to one with ALT-Num, and bounce back with ALT-SameNum, or ALT-Num-of-original-channel [11:23] lws: I get the message that the file/folder does not exist. [11:23] and ubuntu cd's are free at many many stores [11:23] hjalmar: entirely possible, i'm not on ubuntu so i can't check that it exists in ubuntu ;) [11:24] hjalmar: what are you looking for? [11:24] lws: I see [11:24] got my cd ubuntu cd from bestbuy FREE [11:24] hjalmar's download crashed while doing a install over the net? [11:25] ectospasm: I'm having trouble with automatic recognition and mounting of external hardware, like a USB memory stick and headphones [11:25] to recapitulate: hjalmar's USB no worky worky [11:25] sounds like udev got corrupted [11:25] example: plug in a USB disk, no dmesg output, nor does it appear in fdisk -l [11:25] that's right [11:25] ectospasm: that's what I said ;) [11:25] lws: heh [11:26] i don't know how to FIX that, though [11:26] that's a nasty one to fix [11:26] feel free to take over, ectospasm [11:26] If you can mount it in recovery, backup what you need, wipe and start over [11:26] ... ugh. [11:26] hjalmar: ^^^ [11:26] lws: yeah, not a desirable solution, but what else is there? [11:27] we linux folks aren't supposed to resort to wipe+reinstall [11:27] that's for our windows-using friends, dammnit ;) [11:27] i know how to fix your problem reinstall looooooooool :P [11:27] ectospasm: you mean the usb device or my whole system? [11:27] lws: you would be wise to rethink that. [11:28] hjalmar: your system [11:28] aha [11:28] hjalmar: probably the whole system, if you can boot from a USB key and backup your files, that would be best [11:28] hjalmar: it ain't pretty, that's for sure [11:28] lws, Thank u again for advice :) I've installed Ubuntu Desktop Edition 10.04 :) Works Fine. [11:28] hjalmar wipe hard drive, insert cd/dvd reinstall start over :D [11:28] akaruz: no problems [11:29] help me [11:29] hjalmar: next time, run commands like that in screen, so if you get disconnected you're not left in an indeterminate state [11:29] pherenhight:state your question [11:29] ectospasm: commands like what? Iäm not really following you. [11:29] hjalmar: for commands like apt-get, etc that must either complete fully, or not at all [11:30] lws: So, like, updates should be run from a terminal is what you're saying? [11:30] hjalmar: example: if you're upgrading your system, you don't want half the packages to be upgraded and the other half not [11:30] e [11:30] hjalmar: are you familiar with screen? It's a terminal multiplexer, kind of like giving your command line interfaces several "virtual" windows or sessions which you can disconnect from and reconnect later [11:30] sorry a typo [11:30] I am trying to install and rpm file, i have alien installed, its not working [11:31] i try converting to deb, its converts to folder instead??? [11:31] ectospasm: I'm not familiar with screen but now I know [11:31] hjalmar: screen is a pretty cool guy [11:31] hjalmar: in your case, you could have logged into this now-broken machine, run screen, and run apt from within the screen session. Then, if you disconnected it wouldn't have mattered, you could login from anywhere else in the world and reattached to your session [11:31] hjalmar: handy for keeping your IRC client in, so that you can get your IRC session from anywhere [11:32] lws: I use it for that purpose personally, but I also use it at work, A LOT! [11:32] ectospasm: did hjalmar actually have an interrupted update operation? [11:32] lws: actually, no [11:32] How can I get the hexdump for my mouse that's on my laptop? My usb mouse shows up under /dev/hidraw1 , but there is no other hidraw* ... Thanks. [11:32] some one help pherenhight i have no idea wat that meant [11:32] ectospasm: i didn't read his problem that way - i read it as 'upgraded to 10.04 and now USB is broke' [11:32] hello, I had some problems configuring pppd + pptp + radiusd, pppd don't send anything on 1812 port. Here some logs http://pastebin.com/p7W1G7VS. [11:33] lws: that's exactly what I meant [11:33] Ok just tell me, step by step how to install a RPM file? Your way then? Frostic [11:33] anyway, hjalmar: verdict - wipe, reinstall, sorry. :( [11:33] pizdez [11:33] So, I have this list of users to choose from on starting a session. Is there a way to hide the technical users (those who exist for the sole purpose to run a daemon and the like) ? [11:34] pherenhight: why are you trying to install from RPM? [11:34] lws: I see. Thank you for your help. Is this a final verdict or do you think I could benefit from posting in the Ubuntu forums? [11:34] hjalmar: go ahead and try [11:34] mention that we think it's udev that's gone down the plug [11:34] Well i have and option, RPm or tar.gz, i dont know how to install from either, can you assit me? [11:34] Herix: I can't remember, but I think that's based on who has a home directory [11:34] but in the time it would take you to get a response back, you could probably have reinstalled already [11:35] pherenhight: which package? give me a link to the software's homepage [11:35] pherenhight: dont use rpm ob ubuntu [11:35] iceroot: you can with alien [11:35] ectospasm: as i said, dont use rpm with ubuntu [11:35] Cant alien convert rpm => deb [11:35] lws: I will do that then and give it a week or so to see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks again for your help, it was much appreciated! =) [11:35] all: yes, you *can* with alien... but .tar.gz source is nearly always a better option [11:35] or (heh) use apt to install rpm, and go at it! [11:35] !alien [11:35] 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) [11:35] hjalmar: no worries [11:35] ectoplasm : thxx, I'l check that [11:35] oh ok [11:36] just giving enough rope [11:36] ectospasm: you're a bad man. ;) [11:36] more seriously, don't use rpm: download the source code (.tar.gz) and compile it [11:36] i am trying to install VMwareTools-7.8.4-126130.tar.gz [11:36] usually it's as easy as: ./configure, make, make install [11:37] i am running a ubuntu inside windows i want the VmWare tools [11:37] pherenhight: i need a link to the page that download appears on [11:37] the filename is not sufficient [11:37] cant u use apt-get VMwareTools-7.8.4-126130.tar.gz [11:38] pherenhight: no [11:38] pherenhight, no, because VMWare is not free software [11:38] oh [11:38] * nogo zzzzzz [11:38] apt-get can only access software that exists in the ubuntu repositories === Luke is now known as Guest8227 [11:38] well i dotn have the download page, VMware mounts a cdrom and the files are in there??? [11:39] pherenhight, http://linux.rikseisveld.nl/?p=47 [11:39] rigth click on vmware console there migth be Install VMware Tools. [11:39] ^ instructions for exactly your situation, found by googling "Installing VMware tools in Linux" [11:40] lws, how to update any Package manually? [11:40] thanks, shell, as in the terminal??? [11:40] akaruz: i don't understand your question [11:40] pherenhight: yes, terminal==shell [11:40] lws: not always. GNOME and KDE provide GUI shells (-; [11:40] akaruz: what do you mean by 'update package manually'? what are you trying to do? [11:40] lws, I have downloaded Skype for ubuntu .deb format so how can i install it ? from terminal [11:40] ectospasm: stop being pedantic [11:40] ;) [11:41] akaruz: dpkg -i [11:41] akaruz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype [11:41] i also wanted know, is it possible for me to get the google chrome os theme for ubuntu???? [11:41] i have ubuntu 8.10 [11:41] ectospasm, thanks. [11:41] lws, thanks [11:42] pherenhight: no idea, but if i wanted to find out, i would google "ubuntu chrome os theme" [11:42] alright thank you [11:43] i might go make a pot of tea. :D [11:44] Please, i need help with getting my system to boot, using Grub, tried for 3 days now, need help! [11:45] !grub2 > jca1981 [11:45] jca1981, please see my private message [11:45] hello. i upgraded windows on my dual boot setup and have lost grub2. how do i restore grub2? [11:45] is it possible to force different apps to connect to the internet via different interfaces [11:45] !grub2 > AprilHare [11:45] AprilHare, please see my private message [11:46] ghostlines: that depends on the application, and your machines setup [11:46] Whats the package for that touchscreen optimized ubuntu interface on the arm port called? [11:46] you can't have a problem with something that isn't installed ikonia :) [11:46] AprilHare: grub is installed, it's just had the mbr overwritten [11:46] ok [11:47] ikonia, ahh k thanks the app in question is rtorrent, I'll see if i can find info on that [11:47] So, the network manager applet does not start for me when doing a normal boot, the only way to get networking is to drop to the networked root shell via safe mode. Is there any way for me to do the equivalent from inside a normal boot? [11:48] im not sure why my system wont boot, i am taken to a grub2 console when i boot my system. i have tried running update-grub! [11:48] jle_: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart; nm-applet [11:48] note: exact names may vary on ubuntu [11:49] lws: Does the nm-applet also handle network connections themselves? The real problem is the lack of any kind of networking, applet or not. [11:49] Or is it just a graphical frontend? === Mike___ is now known as Mike__ [11:50] Hello. I created raid1, so there are devices md0 for swap and md1 for system. But mdadm shows, that md0 is not active and top shows, that no swap memory available [11:50] whats the problem ? [11:51] discozohan: try to start the arrary [11:51] hello guys if I want to run anything in the shell is it always this command "sudo ./filename" [11:52] jle_: the network-manager daemon handles that [11:52] pherenhight: no, it depends, [11:52] no [11:52] sudo adds admin rights [11:52] lws: Then I have a problem, because network-manager is started at that point, I think. [11:52] you do not need sudo unless the program requires that level of access [11:52] jle_: it might be failing? check logs [11:52] --- Homeless abstract users --- Trimming my users list : how do I specify that those abstract users (like the one running the mysql process for instance) don't need and should'nt have a home ? [11:52] why do i always need to type sudo if i am logged in as admin??? [11:52] ikonia: mm, do you have an idea how to start it ? [11:52] pherenhight: probably because you don't [11:53] You are not usually logged in as admin.

[11:53] pherenhight: what command are you trying to use that's not workng without sudo [11:53] Herix: that's a system account [11:54] just find it annoying typing in password everytime [11:54] you usually don't need to [11:54] Hello, how do I hide/remove the keyboard layout indicator from my notification area? [11:54] what program requires it? [11:54] to who are you asking? [11:54] pherenhight: you [11:55] pherenhight: what is the name of the program you are trying to use that won't work without sudo [11:55] pherenhight: I am talking to you === daedalus_ is now known as copynpaste [11:55] oh, well it is this program sudo ./vmware-install.pl [11:55] yes, you will need to be sudo for that [11:55] what is a pl file? [11:55] pherenhight: ok - that's because you're installing system libraries with that script, it will require root privileges [11:55] pherenhight: perl script [11:55] how often are you running that where it is an inconvienience [11:55] can i edit it if i wanted? [11:56] ikonia : Trimming my users list : how do I specify that those abstract users (like the one running the mysql process for instance) don't need and should'nt have a home directory ? [11:56] pherenhight: if you are a good perl scripter yes [11:56] ubuntu is so awesome, i can edit everrything [11:56] PERL! the only language that looks the same before and after MD5 [11:56] Hi, I have two hard drives, both the same size (both claim to be 120gb). Is it possible to copy and paste everything from one to the other? I want to include file systems and partitions. I figured this would be quicker than reinstalling ubuntu 10.04 on the new hdd then copying all my settings by hand. [11:56] Herix: you go through your user account list, work out what users are needed/not needed and then remove them [11:56] How do I remove the keyboard layout indicator from my system tray? [11:56] pherenhight: that's no different than any other operating system [11:56] what's the plugin to make pidgin live in the infopanel next to the clock? [11:56] copynpaste: see the 'dd' tool [11:56] so how would i go about modding the core files of ubuntu??? [11:56] pherenhight: you can edit everything in any OS...don't know what you are meaning [11:57] pherenhight: there is no such thing as "the core OS files" [11:57] not windows [11:57] pherenhight: what do you want to change [11:57] pherenhight: ... your question does not make sense. [11:57] how to join #bitlbee? [11:57] cool, does the dd tool have a wiki/manual? [11:57] pherenhight: you can change anything you want in windows that you can change in windows [11:57] in ubuntu [11:57] copynpaste: you may be better off to google a phrase like "clone hard drives linux" [11:57] copynpaste: it has a man page [11:57] copynpaste: man dd [11:57] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:57] thankyou! [11:57] copynpaste: the results you find will give guides on how to clone HD's using dd [11:58] u just said that one can edit any OS, how would i edit windows? I cant its not open source? [11:58] pherenhight: if you're suggesting you want to hack on the linux kernel, then go right ahead and download the linux kernel source from git [11:58] pherenhight: it's compiled, as is ubuntu, you can't edit binaries in eithers. Both are driven by config files to make changes [11:58] pherenhight: I meant that you can edit any program in any OS, you are talking now about something different. [11:58] lws: Uh, thanks. I fixed it somewhat by starting nm-applet and enabling networking. [11:58] lws: thanks, I'm off to try it now [11:58] jle_: i am genius! [11:58] jle: ;) [11:59] ikonia : those users are needed, their /home/directory/ are not needed, since those users are never going to connect to an interactive session. See ? [11:59] No idea why it was turned off in the first place - wireless is still disabled though. [11:59] Its like changing the pipelines and max connection in firefox, you cannot do that in Internet explorer [11:59] jle_: you owe me one (1) kudo. [11:59] jle_: ifconfig wlan0 up? [11:59] pherenhight: you are confused... [11:59] Herix: if the users have a home directory - it's needed === switzerland is now known as switz_ [11:59] I'm getting "The following packages have been kept back:" for all the packages I want upgraded by a ppa. Why is this? The repo is installed but it wont upgrade packages from it [11:59] some body help me .. i finally manage to connect my mobile broadband .. but when i browse the firefox .. its doesnt work .. what the prob ? [11:59] ok anyway let me see if this script runs in the shell [11:59] soreau: are their dependancies that are not being [12:00] Routers: that suggests you're not connected [12:00] met [12:00] ikonia : but the connection is established .. [12:00] its shows their dns all [12:00] LTAPaul: No, it just says it's holding them back and doesn't give a reason [12:01] soreau: I am guessing that is what the [12:01] issue is...where are these packages coming from? [12:01] Routers: make sure firefox is not in offlines mode [12:01] lws: ifconfig shows me eth0 and lo up. [12:01] Routers: try pinging google.com for a network test [12:01] yes it can [12:01] How can I get latest version of libc6 ? [12:01] akssps011_: why do you need it [12:01] How do I remove the keyboard layout indicator from my system tray? [12:02] akssps011_: changing libc is a massive job and will potentially break your whole OS [12:02] ikonia: I was installing build-essential on an ubuntu machine without internet connection [12:02] LTAPaul: xorg-edgers [12:02] ikonia : never mind [12:03] not sure how to help you there...have you tried contacting the person that runs the repository? [12:03] Anyone that could help me, updatet from 9.04 to 9.10 and then no boot. Its get stuck on initramfs. The problem is that it wount finde the root partition. [12:03] akssps011_: so how is that anything to do with getting the latest libc version ? [12:03] LTAPaul: for some reason it didn't app itself to sources.list [12:03] akssps011_: did you already install build-essential ? [12:03] hi [12:03] add* [12:03] eriksson: back up your home folder and do a fresh intall [12:04] ikonia: i created a apton cd, but it requires libc6-dev(on the cd) which depends on libc6( - 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.2) but 2.11.1-0ubuntu7 is to be installed [12:04] i install sun-jdk from package manager [12:04] ls [12:04] now i cant fine path it [12:04] LTAPaul, no way around it? It seems that its not reading my fstab corectly. Shuld be able to work around that. [12:04] ls [12:04] akssps011_: ok, so you want the latest availble from ubuntu, the issue is, you're apt-oncd machine has a later version than your none-internet machine, so you need to make sure your two machines are in sync === trinity is now known as triunity [12:05] clear [12:05] test [12:05] lol triunity [12:05] ikonia: how ? [12:05] :) [12:05] hmm? [12:05] I know this is a realllly stupid question . But .. Is there some sort of font pack that has to do with hdmi out etc ? Like a font pack specifically for HD tv's or LCD screens ? [12:05] I could use a older karnell and got to maintenance shell. [12:05] i just got here and people are already laughting at me.... [12:05] akssps011_: either a.) not update the apt-oncd machine beyond your other machine b.) update your other machine to be current [12:06] cause your throwing linux commands into a chat room triunity [12:06] but it happens :) [12:06] lol [12:06] triunity: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion, please feel free to ask any questions on that topic, no-one will laugh [12:06] pshh... [12:06] all commands are linux commands right? (just kidding) [12:07] LTAPaul: Well you were right.. I needed to enable all ubuntu repos and now it works [12:07] soreau: glad I could help [12:07] ikonia: I have 10.04 on both the machines..and the one without internet connection has never been connected to internet, so how could it have newer version than the machine which has internet connection [12:07] ? [12:07] How do I remove the keyboard layout indicator from my system tray? [12:07] akssps011_: no, the apt-oncd machine has a newer version [12:07] LTAPaul: Oh actually it just did updates for only those repos and still holding back xorg-edgers packages [12:07] LTAPaul: Oh well I'll figure it out [12:07] :P [12:07] amikrop: I have never seen that appear before, I wish that I could help. [12:08] ikonia: any way to get libc6 to aptoncd ? [12:08] LTAPaul: I have two keyboard layouts, and an indicator appeared automatically since I added the 2nd layout, in my system tray and there is no option for removing it. [12:08] Anyone, how can I backup the old fstab and generate a new one for root disks? all from maintenance shell. [12:08] ikonia: I don't see in the package list there [12:09] Hey, i got a question, i am connected to a ubuntu 10.04 server, but everyone in a while, i lose connection for about 30 seconds. The webserver/sshd/nessusd all stop responding, then about 30 seconds later, everything comes back online, anyone know what may be causing the computer to lag out? [12:09] anyway know how to make gdm use the f12 key rather than f7 default [12:09] everyonce* [12:09] limits [12:09] amikrop: right click and remove from panel isn't an option? [12:09] thune3: no [12:09] It says read only system when trying to cp the file. [12:10] ikonia: I mean the aptoncd doesn't have libv6 in it [12:10] ikonia: Is there a way to restore ubuntu to a state when it was first installed ? [12:10] akssps011_: I understand what you're saying [12:10] akssps011_: no [12:11] btrfs snapshot in future? [12:11] amikrop: the only thing i know like that is the "keyboard indicator" applet, but you seem to have something else. is any more information you can gather about where it is coming from [12:11] amikrop: click on it or right clicking and getting information maybe [12:12] ikonia: ok, so is there a solution for adding latest libc6 to aptoncd or install it to the new machine ? (just reverting back to original question :) ) [12:12] <_mrn_ver_> ikonia, but with find -mtime command we can find the change in directories regarding tp files created or deleted after some changes [12:12] ls [12:12] akssps011_: I don't know why libc is not showing in the list, it's just a package like everything else [12:12] _mrn_ver_: so ? [12:12] <_mrn_ver_> will it not help to bring down the system to initial state [12:13] _mrn_ver_: no [12:13] lolllllll [12:13] Routers: what's funny ? === alexandre is now known as Guest64842 [12:13] <_mrn_ver_> y not [12:13] why i cant browse my internet ! [12:13] ls [12:13] exit [12:13] thune3: left clicking changes the keyboard layout and right clicking gives me 3 options: Groups (which shows the 2 layouts), Keyboard Preferences (which launches the known Preferences menu) and Show Current Layout (which shows the layout details through avirtual keyboard) [12:13] _mrn_ver_: because it doesn't create backups of files to restore from, or packages of older versions. It just shows you files that have changed at a certain date [12:13] triunity: please stop that [12:14] ikonia: probably because it wasn't installed with apt-get.. was the case with other dependencies of build-essential [12:14] ikonia: may be that info can help [12:14] akssps011_: what wasnt installed with apt-get ? [12:14] <_mrn_ver_> ikonia, so no way to do initialization of system? [12:14] ikonia: libc6 [12:15] akssps011_: how did you install libc then ? [12:15] _mrn_ver_: no [12:15] ikonia: I don't know, I never installed it by myself..may be got installed with something else [12:15] akssps011_: it's a core system library it's installed (with apt-get) during the ubuntu installation [12:16] ikonia: where's it is stored..I can try adding it to apton by myself then [12:16] ? [12:16] akssps011_: it's a lot of files and symlnks in /lib [12:17] akssps011_: In case ikonia hasn't made it clear enough: libc6 is an essential system library. If you upgrade it in a way that isn't tested and supported by Ubuntu's developers, you are very, very, very likely to horribly break your system. [12:18] I created raid10 with mdadm, target = /dev/md2. But after reboot its dissapeared, but new devices "/dev/md_d2, /dev/md_d2p[1-4]" appeared. So how can i start array ? mdadm -A /dev/md_d2 wants me to give info about array in mdadm.conf, but why i was able to start it before reboot ? [12:18] rww: The version I have on my current system is probably up to date, so it must be approved. But the system where I just installed 10.04 has an older version..just wanted to upgrade that === Dave5708 is now known as dave5708 [12:19] <_mrn_ver_> i m using ubuntu 10.04 .sometimes my screen starts blinking like an old b&w tv for just a second [12:19] I know this is a realllly stupid question . But .. Is there some sort of font pack that has to do with hdmi out etc ? Like a font pack specifically for HD tv's or LCD screens ? [12:19] _mrn_ver_: probaby a glitch with your videocard / videocard drivers [12:19] amikrop: this page says "When you have multiple input languages installed, you’ll notice a new icon in your system tray on the top right." http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17508/add-keyboard-input-language-to-ubuntu/ [12:19] ximal: not that I'm aware of. What's your issue? === Guest7924 is now known as chims [12:20] <_mrn_ver_> ikonia, so how can i fix it [12:20] thune3: yeah. i want to remove it :S [12:20] rww: ikonia: would it be a good idea to remove libc6 using apt-get remove and then reinstall it using apt-get install (worked with other packages though but they weren't system packages) [12:20] _mrn_ver_: get a different video card, contact the vendor for a better linux video card driver [12:20] ? [12:20] akssps011_: no no no no no [12:20] p_res: i installed the ati hd stuff and it's made the screen text horrid .. I've got my hdmi video and audio in perfect order [12:21] amikrop: one option would be to only have one keyboard layout in keyboard preferences layouts. So you want multiple layouts but not shortcut to switch between them? [12:21] ikonia: so any way to make libc6 revert back to where it was when installed ? [12:21] p_res: i just need now to choose a non-reactive font that doesn't look like a rainbow against a white background [12:21] ximal: has it changed the system font at all? [12:21] oh .. no .. that's the problem [12:21] akssps011_: you've asked this and I've told you "no" [12:21] thune3: I have keyboard for shortcut [12:21] It's very dangerousto remove libc6 [12:21] pksadiq: it's impossible [12:21] ximal: dang! [12:21] thune3: I mean, button combiation [12:21] there are some lcd fonts out there but i was hoping linux ubuntu had specifics or a reference [12:22] yeah [12:22] it gave me a puking migraine the first day to get used to it [12:22] ximal: Could be a proprietry font ATI has used perhaps. [12:22] talk about splitting headaches [12:22] oh no... the ati install from the shell command didn't change anything except for enable 720 and 1080i formats [12:22] ls [12:22] ls [12:22] It's possible, I removed once, but l8r I had 2 reinstall ubuntu [12:23] and increased the frame rate and fullscreen movie quality .. But the hdmi is so sexy i had to use it .. Because less cords is a good thing [12:23] ikonia: yeah..just making sure before I do something silly...so I feel there is no way to make my new installation have build-essential and hence I can't install the driver for my card and hence without an internet connection, it is of no use for me [12:23] pksadiq: you can't remove it, as soon as you do, your system is dead [12:23] p_res: thanks for the talk though m8.. i'm going to fullscreen a movie now .. [12:23] ikonia: driver for my ethernet card [12:23] ximal: no probs. [12:23] akssps011_: build the driver on a different machine and drop it onto the broke machine [12:24] Hi, I am using ubuntu 10.04 on an old machine of mine. Everytime I multitask or use a bit more RAM than normal, ubuntu crashes. Any help would be much appreciated [12:24] Falcz: define crashes [12:25] ikonia: but the driver is for my Dell Laptop and I have a 5 year old PC in addition to that. How can I build a driver for dell ethernet card on my PC ? [12:25] ikonia: The screen goes black and then these white vertical stripes slowly blink [12:25] akssps011_: the driver is linked to the OS, not the hardware, built on a box with ubuntu 10.04 on [12:26] ikonia: hm ok, so how do I build it ? I mean I just have to install it on my PC and just copy the build files from there to corresponding folders on my Laptop ? [12:27] akssps011_: you build it the same way on your other pc as you would locally. [12:27] akssps011_: it just creates a .ko file you need to move across [12:27] ikonia: where is that file created ? [12:28] akssps011_: in the source tree [12:28] hey how do you know if a user is a bot or not [12:28] Oki, I fixed the read only problem, now could someone help me seting up the fstab with corect mounting points, its missing the / /home /swap [12:28] hellboy316: on irc ? [12:28] ls [12:28] ls [12:28] trinity: stop that [12:28] yup [12:28] how do i mount primary partitions when i have installed ubuntu inside windows on another partitions [12:28] Its so fun!@ [12:28] trinity: stop it now [12:28] Next i wanna try: [12:29] sudo apt-get remove irc [12:29] need help on mounting devices from the terminal [12:29] binaryknights: what's the issue [12:30] good evening [12:30] i have [12:30] ubuntu 10.04 [12:30] installed in d drive [12:30] and windows [12:30] binaryknights: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:30] there is no way to know for sure if its a bot or not [12:31] unless you ask them etc [12:31] My set up is changing the /dev/name on the os disk every bootup therefore I cant get a working fstab [12:31] need to mount windows in c drive from the terminal. [12:31] hello [12:31] anybody here [12:31] okies ... [12:32] binaryknights: noob question i guess why would you want to do that? [12:32] whats the bot instructions to put live cd on a usb ? [12:33] a a link [12:33] just new to ubuntu [12:33] binaryknights err mount windows in the c drive, wth are you trying to do again? [12:33] want to learn to manage simple things from the terminal rather than graphically [12:34] binaryknights: 'sudo fdisk -l' to see what disks/partitions available [12:34] k well ubuntu doesnt have "C" drives [12:34] !usb | itsux2bu [12:34] itsux2bu: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [12:34] binaryknights it views partitions properly :) [12:34] eriksson25: that's what using drive-id by uuid or label is preferred [12:34] yup thats true, i just wanna know how to manually mount devices [12:34] oCean_, thx [12:34] binaryknights run info mount [12:34] binaryknights: then: 'sudo mount /dev/sd?? /media/folder -t ntfs -o user,rw' assuming it's ntfs and you want write access, choose an existing folder in /media that you have write access to [12:35] eriksson25: *that's why [12:35] so i need to manually make a mount point is media folder first? [12:35] in* [12:35] binaryknights for voolio's command replace the ?? with the number of your HD [12:35] binaryknights: if you want it automatically available add a line to /etc/fstab and yes, make mount point first [12:35] ok [12:36] thank u.... [12:36] binaryknights though generally thats what /mnt is for :) [12:36] i have to mount a usb pendrive before i format it? [12:36] ok make sense to me now thnks :) [12:36] making * [12:37] itsux2bu: no, only format / resize unmounted stuff [12:38] VCoolio, is *nix formatter called "format"? [12:38] what man page? [12:39] has anyone succeed about multihomed? i have 2 internet connection. adsl and mobile broadband. i want connect all of them to my laptop. [12:39] yes I know, and I have that but the upgrade fucked it up. So its mising the / /home swap mounting points. [12:39] itsux2bu: man mkfs I think, but try gparted, much easier [12:39] is formatting part of Grub? [12:39] apt-get install gparted ? [12:40] My system disk is now sdj1 sdj2=swap and sdj3 [12:40] itsux2bu: no, grub is the bootloader, gives options to boot one of multiple operating systems; yes, install gparted then run as root [12:40] is there a way I could download source package from a ppa? like apt-get source? [12:40] How shuld it be writen in the fstab with uuid to get it to work. [12:40] eriksson25: modify your /etc/fstab to reflect the partitions UUID [12:40] gparted work on usb pendrives? [12:40] eriksson25: run "sudo blkid" to get the UUID information per partition === Fusion|Offline is now known as FusionX [12:40] hey i wanted to ask this ... What does that UUID stand for [12:40] eriksson25: fixing fstab to use uuid (from a livecd/liveusb boot) would be the course of action to correct your issue [12:41] itsux2bu: I guess, it works on external hdd [12:41] hellboy316: It's an unique ID for each drive/partition [12:41] om26er: if you added the ppa, that is the right command [12:41] itsux2bu: no, grub doesnt' format, just boots things, usually me when I hose up the .cfg file :-) yes gparted works on USB drives. [12:41] I can now write to fstab no problem. [12:41] Hi, I am using ubuntu 10.04 on an old machine of mine. Everytime I multitask or use a bit more RAM than normal, ubuntu crashes. Any help would be much appreciated :) [12:41] i mean if i manually edit fstab ... should i add one to every partition [12:41] VCoolio, thx.. you got me started in the right direction.. [12:41] eriksson25: run sudo blkid and then change the fstab accordingly [12:42] VCoolio, it downloads the source from Ubuntu archives and not the ppa [12:42] hellboy316: yes, you could [12:42] So Only need to finde the right line to type. how do I know if its sdj1 or sdj 3 thats / or /home [12:42] amikrop: i looked through gconf settings (gconf-editor) and any option if it exists would seem to be in /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/indicator/ but i didn't see anything. [12:42] okies cool ... [12:42] om26er: ah, so the same package in different versions is available in ubuntu repo and your third party repo? [12:43] Falcz; first, shutdown your compiz. [12:43] Oki, run it and now have the uuid [12:43] Falcz: could be flakey memory - reboot and run the mem-test _over night_ [12:43] totem: Sorry, im a linux noob. How do I do that? [12:44] thune3: I see. Thanks a lot, anyway :) [12:44] is first partition always root system? sdj1= / [12:44] how do i specify the servicename for a pppoe connection .... the pppoe package had the pppoe.conf file which i could edit ... how do i do it in ubuntu 10.4 [12:44] eriksson25: use the "mount" command (no options) to show what partition is mounted to what mountpoint [12:44] billy: Ok thanks, will do :) [12:44] hello! I want to create my own Ubuntu derivative - ubuntu based, just with a different package selection, maybe a different background and configuration... where could I find a tutorial about how to do that? [12:45] yann2: that is not supported here [12:45] Falcz; right click on desktop > change background desktop > visual effect > choose none for visual effect. [12:45] ikonia, where should I ask? [12:45] yann2: no idea [12:45] yann2: look for a remastering channel [12:46] Hmm, dosent say, but guess it can only be one out of two so could just try. [12:46] Unable to trash file: Permission denied [12:46] yann2: look up reconstructor [12:46] But sdj3 will be /home if sdj1 is / right? [12:46] totem: Ahh, ok thats what I thought. They are already turned off. [12:46] pherenhight use sudo [12:46] aef aeon-ltd [12:47] quit [12:47] Falcz; second-th, honestly, for old machine i choose linuxmint. sorry. [12:47] hello people, does xinetd or inetd runs by default? [12:47] eriksson25: if the partition is currently mounted, the 'mount' command should output it. Also an "fdisk -l /dev/sdc" could give you more info on the partitions [12:47] mae_tae: neither [12:47] ya how do i change the run levels on the newer ubuntus [12:47] mae_tae: you have to install the one you want [12:47] eriksson25: "sudo fdisk -l" that is..

[12:48] okies i will check it out thanks buddy [12:49] totem: plese don't support linux mint in here, or use it as a support resource [12:49] mae_tae: see what's launching tftp, then see if that's running === morrison6_ is now known as morrison6 [12:50] ikonia, actually when i type tftp localhost it will give tftp> console, but when i type get test.txt or something, it will transfer timed out but when i look at the logs, i see cannot bind to ipv4 - address is in use [12:51] how to symlink a directory recursively?

Why not just symlink the parent dir? [12:58] mae_tae: kill the running tftp [12:58] mae_tae: in that case the tftp is already running [12:58] run lsof ... may be another instance of it is still running [12:58] !ot | hellboy316 [12:58] hellboy316: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[13:01] aeon-ltd, just found uck :) giving it a try now [13:02] mae_tae: I don't even think that xinetd is default package.

(relative to DEs anyway) [13:38] Try website.org to upload files [13:38] aeon-ltd i dont know they just are, and lxde pretty buggy too on arm [13:39] Milp_main: arm? seriously? your running ubuntu on a arm cpu? [13:39] yeah [13:39] Milp_main: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lightweight_Applications#Window_managers [13:39] Website.org gives 10 gb free hosting with ftp and mysql [13:39] for comparison: firefox takes 10 minutes to start, synaptics takes 5-10 minutes to search for a package [13:40] lol [13:40] Who is running ubuntu on ARM? [13:40] I need help [13:40] don't trust a cpu without mmu [13:40] shit man [13:40] Milp_main: that's not a window manager issue; try lightweight browser, chromium or midori; use terminal for package management [13:40] Milp_main: the WM is unlikely to cause huge slowdowns like that, check top/htop and see whats consuming so much cpu and ram [13:41] neoprog: It doesn't actually work, not with the -n anyway. See ''man rename'', though you might have already figured that :) [13:41] VCoolio yeah but terminal for package management is very annoying when you are trying to sort out trash. Aptitude has bad controls when you dont have a keyboard with F keys, and yeah i will try a lightweight browser too ;) [13:41] any body here using ARM cpu? [13:41] i am [13:41] not me [13:42] why don't you use via nano or atom? [13:42] huh? [13:42] they are small enough now [13:42] then canyou help me to find a best linux for arm? [13:42] in my mind, arm is for toys [13:42] Milp_main: imo, you should think about running ground up distros to remove all uneccessary waste from stock === 64MAAEODX is now known as jman [13:43] ground up distros? [13:43] pksadiq: maybe you can install netbsd === jman is now known as jjman [13:43] pksadiq: or some distros for embedded systems [13:43] can someone tell me the package to encrypt an md5 password?

[13:44] hi i found something in ubuntu heheheh it is called netbeans :) something totally new to me. i know how to build gui but the problem is with command does anyone know where i could get more info about basic commands ? i want to build gui where are buttons and using those buttons i want to execute shell application does anyone know how to do it ? at the moment im able to close gui and i know there is a lot to learn but [13:44] i need to know basic commands first and i cant find anything on netbeans.org etc [13:44] My phone Uses ARM CU [13:44] aeon-ltd what do you mean by ground up distros? [13:45] i got bad experience from a poor gps [13:45] it's arm-based, with wince [13:45] More than netbeans I Like QT creator [13:45] one word, deadly SLOW [13:46] my phone cpu is 220 mhz [13:46] and about 32 mb ram [13:46] Do anyone write OpenGL code? [13:46] Jenny-uk: netbeans is just a development environment for java. so i think what you ask for is how to develop java. we cant cover this question. try to search for java tutorials using google or so [13:46] i think, if intel can remake p-mmx with 32nm chip art, it will beat your arm cpu [13:47] Milp_main: no gui, no X, no excess apps, essentially you've got nothing but the tools to get online via command line, a package manager and a kernel [13:47] I need help [13:47] !ask | lixujia [13:47] lixujia: 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).

[13:47] aeon-ltd uh but what im actually aiming for is to get a good and fully functional internet browser. Thats the only reason ive really installed linux. The android browsers all suck [13:48] Milp_main: is this a phone? [13:48] yeah [13:48] ubuntu runs in a chroot jail [13:48] Milp_main: what mhz cpu? [13:48] 550mhz cortex a6, oced to 1ghz [13:48] pksadiq: modern arm SoCs are good enough to expand into the netbook and tablet market. [13:48] hi all [13:48] like 1GhZ dual core ;) [13:49] to ubottu: Thanks [13:49] Milp_main: physical keyboard? [13:49] but it would very nice for a phone if the whole phone OS is only shell and Ascii art is used as gui [13:49] yeah but not a full one, F keys for instance are missing [13:49] Milp_main: do you have something similar to a windows/alt/ctrl key? [13:49] My phone is about 4years old [13:49] yes aeon [13:50] just like Matrix green art [13:51] Milp_main: then i reccommend a tiling WM like dwm, awesome, wmii, they can rely on keyboard shortcuts and bindings, all apps by default run fullscreen and window management is all done by the wm, potentially you should never have to move a window yourself === DoubleString is now known as ZNC_DoubleString [13:52] I wrote a code segment to test the OpenGL select mode. But after the select render complete, and it return the result in the select buffer, I found that the z1,z2 value are random ones. [13:52] aeon-ltd hmm alright, ill have a look at some, but first im gonna try xfce [13:52] anyone know about that?

[14:00] yep [14:00] Hi all [14:00] can I update the grub to 2.0 on ubuntu? [14:01] I dont see why not [14:01] I have a problem, i turned my laptop on this morning and it loaded okay past the HP logo (hp laptop yes i know i was asking for it in the first place) and then it goes to a completely blank screen but with a small flashing white line in the top left hand corner, it wouldnt load my windows OS or my ubuntu OS, every key i pressed made it make a beeping sound, if i click CTRL+ALT+DELETE it... [14:01] ...would restart. i reinstalled ubuntu over my normal ubuntu installtion and now im running it but i am completely unable to get my windows OS to start up. [14:01] so I'll try, wish I could restart back here soon ;) [14:01] My opinion for all things "can I...?" is to try it and see if it works [14:02] I mean should I backup sth first? [14:02] jacob__ sounds like you got hw issues [14:02] jacob__: your running both os's on 1 drive? [14:02] fancybit yeah [14:03] fancybit whenever you mess with bootloaders are partitions and youre not sure if it will work, backup first [14:03] *or partitions [14:03] ALLWAYS BACKUP WHEN YOU DO ANYTHING [14:03] yes i have a partition [14:03] ooops caps [14:03] so what tools should I use? ghost or tar? [14:03] I had installed ubuntu 10.04 last Tuesday. Since then my laptop's sound automatic gets switch off after playing some videos on facebook or youtube. [14:04] Could you load BIOS? [14:04] one partition is ubuntu one is windows they were both working perfectly fine on grub untill this morning [14:04] or other conveinent tools? [14:04] what is the problem? [14:04] and madfox i dont know if i do or not all of my startup, memory, system, hardware checks are all fine and everything runs perfectly on ubuntu, i just dont get it [14:04] fancybit id tar it and put it on a cd or a usb [14:04] jacob__: well if on different partitions then like madfox said it sounds like hardware issues [14:05] jacob__ the mass beepings are usually spewed from the BIOS which=hw issue [14:05] Con you load bios? [14:05] no the beepings only occur when i press a button other then they not a peep [14:05] look up beep codes for your computer model? [14:06] hi everybody. i have a question. why is it firefox won't open certain websites on lucid while on windows it just works? when i try to open i.e. digg.com firefox just hangs, nothing is shown [14:06] i can load the bios settings and stuff yes [14:06] this is prolly due to this slow connection. there must be some timeout i'm not aware of... [14:07] A while after blink try ALT+ CONTROL +F2 [14:07] Does somebody know how I can disable 'Gtk-WARNING' in Terminal? [14:07] ruffleS: is that a new issue? if so, try logging out and logging in again. if that doesnt help start firefox -safe-mode (which disables all extension). and if that help you can afterwards try to find the extension that causes problems by disabling them one by one until it works [14:07] the beeps are 1 beep for each key so beeps mean nothing [14:07] and i will try that pksadiq [14:08] now i have installed ubuntu it loads straight to ubuntu like the the windows partition isnt even there although i can see all of my files from here [14:08] Also you may try holding the shift key when it starts to boot [14:09] ruffleS: firefox does have some timout issues with slow connections. [14:09] asac, that's not a new issue. and it only happens on this internet connection i'm using right now. i'll try to start firefox in safe mode and see what happens [14:09] lol |sysop| was here [14:09] ruffleS, install flashplugin-installer [14:09] okay i will try that soon thank you [14:09] ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/ [14:09] I'dont see the grub2 [14:09] dmex, oh.. that must be my case... [14:09] ruffleS: yeah. extensions are first idea that come to my mind ... especially if you have a bunch installed [14:09] why? [14:09] ruffleS: i got something special for you [14:09] seems like 1.98 is the newest one [14:10] How to remaster Ubuntu [14:10] To see grub menu while booting press and hold shift key [14:10] ruffleS: change your dns servers to googles dns servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 instant internet boost [14:10] what's "remaster" means? [14:10] asac, hey.. digg works on safe mode/1 /;o [14:10] fancybit: yes. 1.98 is what is in ubuntu [14:10] hey guys! how can i have the plain good old window-switcher of metacity when using the compiz window decorator? [14:10] :O [14:10] Hello my friends !! gtk themes are ugly .. is not it ? is there any way to make it more cool !!

[15:35] BluesKaj: I dont think saying "which channel" requires that harsh of a response... she wasnt saying "beat it" [15:36] jjb123, did you use a /and a /home partition or just /?

Does that make any sense to anyone? [15:37] zkriesse: yeah lol, quite the upgrade program they have [15:37] jjb123, also as I mentioned....try the ##linux channel to see if they can offer solutions sometimes you have to ask at different times here to get the people who have the answers [15:37] What firefox addons are known to block REFERER header?

[15:41] coz_: lol thanks! [15:41] Yaron-Heb_, maybe #ubuntu-devel might be able to help there [15:41] yes i tried that but its still not the same, for example, when i move the mouse slowly in windows, it moves say 10 pixels, when i move it the same in ubuntu, it moves 20 pixels, and when i move the mouse fast in windows, it moves 200 pixels, and in ubuntu 100 pixels [15:42] i meant i tried changing the mouse settings but its still not right [15:42] jk_: Right, but how do you tell it to do that? I just ran an innocent apt-get upgrade [15:42] anonymous50, mm I have both windows and ubuntu installed and I prefer the ubuntu "style" for this but as I said that diaglog should be able to match it pretty close [15:42] Hi all [15:43] Yaron-Heb_: #ubuntu-translators of course :) === fdk is now known as brizzio [15:43] brb nature call :) [15:43] please anyone help me . i'm getting " pulseaudio[14089]: ratelimit.c: 113 events suppressed" .This message is populating syslog [15:43] !il | Yaron-Heb_ , there is an israeli chat , here [15:43] Yaron-Heb_ , there is an israeli chat , here: לשיחות בשפה העברית ולגישה לקהילת המשתמשים העברית אנא הקלד: [15:43] /join #ubuntu-il [15:44] BluesKaj, thanks, I'm aware of that :) [15:45] Does anyone know what the deadline for maverick translations?

Weird syntax, not capable of anything out of the box, but it's probably not as slow.. hrm.

[15:51] yeah those kind of features should be off by default, but easy to turn on for people that likes 'cewl gadgets' (like the desktopcube etc) [15:51] brandom: i don't know anything specific to that wireless card. more generally you can tune tune retry and frag parameters if iwconfig. Set the interface speed to something lower and possibly modify your position/antenna.

I'll give it a try. Thanks! [15:53] cemc yes you can use usb to install [15:53] geirha: nope, unfortunately, this doesn't turn off the thumbnails [15:53] Oh, just tabbed out, thanks blues. [15:53] ok, i used ubuntu for a long time, since i hated windows for not working 10000 times, but i was forced to install win7..i knew grub will be overwritten, but i got over that 100 times without a problem..but i forgot that ubuntu 10.4 uses grub 2..i found a tutorial but installation proces stops at the point where terminal tells me there is not enough space on MBR or something..i don't know what to do..

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:55] brandom: also, txpower is something to look at. it's sometimes an inverse tradeoff: more tx power can mean less recieve sensitivity.

[15:56] cemc you said 10.04.1 [15:57] Oer: but if i but ubuntu-desktop.iso on it, that's not a netboot install, is it ? [15:57] hmm that channel is not answering, so what is the best pdf viewer? [15:58] FredFlintstone, are you on gnome or kde? [15:58] I need better resolution than 800x600, and had it in Gutsy; did a fresh lucid install on this box and now I've got bad resolution [15:58] thune3: Right now it reports 20 dBm - do you have a suggested starting place for tuning this setting? My signal is excellent so perhaps I could back in off, or up it? Do you know a good guide for general iwconfig tuning? [15:59] paulmain: hm. does gnome-display-properties not show more resolutions? [15:59] Muelli, no [16:00] Are you using nvidia drivers? [16:00] FredFlintstone, if you are on gnome evince should work half decent which is already installled ifhowever you are on kde then okular is probably the best in my opinion [16:00] pksadiq, no [16:00] gnome [16:00] FredFlintstone, there are alternatives on gnome let me check [16:01] Then , are you having intel processor? [16:01] paulmain: :-( Driver issues then, I guess... Maybe there is smth interesting in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [16:02] in windows most use adobe acrobat, i am new to linux, anyone use adobe in linux? i think i'd rather have a leaner meaner app than adobe stuff [16:02] FredFlintstone, well evince is already installed you could try foxit reader for linux however . although it is nice it not actually an installed application it is a modular one or rather you just click the executable ... [16:02] Greetings. Any consice online reference for Grub 1.98 as installed on Ubuntu 10.04 ? I need to do two things. Remove a menu entry and pass options to different OS kernel ( OS X, this is a hackintosh box also. I sort of got the hang of editing raw grub.conf files on Gentoo... but this distro seems to script everything [16:02] Are you using ubuntu? [16:02] sup [16:02] ubuntu [16:02] hows u doin [16:03] Annoyed: /etc/default/grub [16:03] FredFlintstone, best thing to do ...and I dont like to suggest this always... is to google with linux pdf readers or ubuntu pdf readers [16:03] is the file you edit [16:03] it says document viewer right now, ubuntu 10.04 default i guess [16:03] There is a default document viewer in ubuntu [16:03] ubuntu comes with a pdf reader...... [16:03] asac, Thanks a lot (without any change it works again… O_o) [16:03] FredFlintstone, right [16:03] the default is evince iirc [16:03] FredFlintstone: that's evince, is good; try epdfviewer too or mupdf or zathura [16:03] FredFlintstone, that would be evince [16:04] i want more zoom features [16:04] TiK Thanks, gimme a few to look there. [16:04] this documnet reader sems limited [16:04] I'm trying to figure out how to unzip my [16:04] FredFlintstone, look here http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/ [16:04] ROMs and play them on my emulators any ideas on how? [16:04] however, adobe reader has a remarkable advantage: its extended search in several documents [16:05] FredFlintstone, yes you could always install the adobe reader I think it is in the repositories but not sure I never use it [16:05] FredFlintstone: install adobe reader then, i believe is in !partner repository [16:05] i have an nvidia card, and i want to upgrade to ati radeon. will there be any problem in the ubuntu 10.04 setup? will i still be able to see all the eye candy? [16:06] !acroread [16:06] TiK : Any good online docs for that file? That looks like just a basic skelton [16:07] anybody know of an easy way to resize a vmdk disk image file without having vmware installed? [16:07] KalEl: I think you will need reconfigure the graphic card ,again [16:08] i am gonna try a bunch, that doesn't bloat / slow the OS like windows does it? (installing many things) [16:08] thank yo linux [16:08] thank you linux [16:08] KalEl: when you enter into the system with ati card, again [16:08] i heard there is some trouble with one of the graphic card vendors, i do not recall if it was nvidia or ati - so i was a bit worried [16:08] regarding drivers [16:09] FredFlintstone, check out acroread on your package manager [16:09] KalEl: it will in a unconfigure vga card state, because the driver can not fit the card [16:09] ok [16:09] Question.. installed Grub on this machine is 1.98... online docs seem to think this /etc/defaults/grub is for Grub 2 [16:10] Can anyone please tell me how to unzip files/ where to put them so I can play my ROMs..? [16:10] BluesKaj, not found [16:10] KalEl:so you need run the harddriver program in your system to reconfigure your card [16:10] i use the proprietary driver for nvidia - is there a good driver for ati radeon as well? [16:10] oh ok [16:10] harddriver - i will remember that - thank you [16:11] yes, amd's open source card driver work well [16:11] Hey, I am trying to my mouse buttons. I added an InputClass section in xorg.conf and it seems to match my physical device. ButtonMapping however seems to have no effect. [16:11] Annoyed, the 1.98 is called "grub 2" by most of us. It's the latest. [16:11] all the suggestions failed to be found by sudo apt-get install, did i do it wrong? im a noob [16:11] Oh, ok... It's not as if they could have it make sense, after all. :P [16:11] linux: can you help me learn how to unzip files/ where to put them so I may play my ROMs? [16:11] (using xinput set-button-map works) [16:11] KalEl: but nvidia's card driver is really in a good performance than amd's driver [16:11] FredFlintstone, enable the canonical partners and other software sources in your package manager [16:12] KalEl: but now, ati driver is get better and better [16:12] hmm i see [16:12] :KalEl: so, try it! === dad_ is now known as Guest82189 [16:12] will i be able to play games with it? [16:13] america's army? [16:13] Magnetro: Aren't the files visible with the file manager? You should be able to right click and open with archive manager [16:13] i had an 8600GTS, planning to buy ATI 5770 [16:13] /quit [16:13] exit [16:13] (because ATI seems to provide good performance/price ratio according to online specs) [16:13] KalEl: i think your trouble is that when you change the card(but not configure it), you will get a in low graphic mode screen [16:13] Annoyed and from there? [16:14] but once i put the right driver, then i think i should be able to play america's army with full detail [16:14] KalEl:yeah, just like the amd cpus [16:14] (i hope) [16:14] I'm completely new to linux; and Windows whipped. [16:14] are there som DMA-settings in ubuntu that might be wrong or something that causes the dvd-burner go so slow? (I think that is a problem that accour in Windows) ? [16:14] Dunno... dunno what a ROM file is. AFAIK, ROM = Read Only Memory.. But once you decompress them, you should be able to read them as normal [16:15] Magnetro, What is your problem? Can I help? [16:15] how do you decompress them? [16:15] well thanks a lot liunx [16:15] I have a unique problem. I forgot my password, used some online help and ended up changing my password. Didnt work and low and behold, I remembered my password and now can only get to a frozen desktop.. ONLY function I can preform is right click taskbar.. Panel properties comes up and says "Some of these properties are locked down" What to do?? [16:15] KalEl: yes, i think you will [16:15] Magnetro: Aren't the files visible with the file manager? You should be able to right click and open with archive manager [16:15] Annoyed, A rom file typically refers to an image of a game. [16:15] KalEl: but i am more confident with nvidia's card ^_^ [16:15] Oh, so he might have to mount them [16:16] hey guys, I'm having some trouble getting a usb to vga adapter running on Ubuntu karmic [16:16] KalEl: sure [16:16] I opened them with archive manager but they are just blank paper looking files. [16:16] Magnetro, Why would you want to decompress them? Just feed the rom to your emulator [16:16] KalEl: good luck [16:16] ty [16:16] there as a zip file [16:16] is there a vnc channel [16:16] Guest82189, Can you open a terminal? [16:16] I don't know how to feed it to my emulator. [16:16] Guest82189, Are you logged in to the system normally right now? Do you know the password? Please clarify [16:17] edbian Cannot do anything except what was mentio ed... [16:17] Can someone explain how to setup my empty 2tb har drive in order for it to be as if it had been there during installation? I want to use LVM, encryption, 4096 byte sectors and have it mounted at startup. [16:17] I am logged in and at my desktop [16:17] I remembered my old password and used it to log on but the desktop seems to be "locked up" [16:17] is it possible at all to install, say, 10.04 over 9.04 without wiping the home partition (obviously, I do have home on a separate partition). I mean, surely it *is* possible, but will the system work afterwards? :P [16:18] what are the key commands to bring up a terminal? [16:18] Guest82189, So is the only thing you're looking to fix the "some things are locked" on the panel menu? Or are there other things? [16:18] Guest82189, alt + F2 then type in gnome-terminal [16:18] is this the correct channel to get help from [16:18] edbian ALL things are locked up...... OK I got in the terminal [16:19] howdy [16:19] edbian oh thank you thank you so what do I try now? [16:19] shylent, you have to either do a clean install or upgrade to 9.10, then upgrade to 10.04 [16:19] Do I feed my emulators my ROMs as just zip files..? [16:19] because it's not working. [16:20] Guest82189, Hah, before we can fix it I need a better idea of what the problem is. When you say all things are locked up it is conflicting with the fact that the teriminal works. [16:20] Guest82189, Try opening different apps at the terminal. try "firefox" then ctrl + c to close it. Then try "nautilus" [16:20] Guest82189, Do you actually change your password? What did you do while you were trying before you remembered the old password? [16:21] edbian I know. sorry newbie and I got excited' I cant do anything with the system what I think I need to do is see a list of All users on the acct and remove the one I changed?? [16:21] i dont suppose somebody can help me install this compro s350 dvb card its a pain [16:21] edbian I was using this laptop.. The issue is on my desktop [16:21] BluesKaj: well, Id rather not do two dist-upgrades. I was wondering if it was possible to just leave the home partition there during the installation (without formatting it, I am pretty sure alternate install can do that. maybe not, though). Obviously I have everything backed up, etc etc so I can just do a "clean" install and copy my stuff over to the new home [16:21] Guest82189, sudo cat /etc/passwd will list all the usrs. [16:22] Guest82189, Be warned many of them won't be intuitive users. The users that you added will be at the very bottom. I assure you they are all users though. [16:22] enbian ok.. it only shows me I am the only user of the sys.. but how do I get the changed password that I forgot also? [16:22] is there a way i can run vbox in box and setup my virtual machine , then pull that machine from a different box? [16:23] edbian I am sure that I am the only user but what do I do here?? [16:23] Guest82189, You cannot read the passwords from anywhere on the system. They only location is /etc/shadow which stores them encrypted.

If you want a folder to show up in placed and on the left side of folder windows just drag it there. [16:59] RickiiBETA, Ubuntu Tweak is intentionally confusing for some reason.

[17:03] Is a USB drive a "file" like most everything else where it can be chmod-ed? [17:04] Can someone explain GNU in detail for me? To me it seems like commands and interface used to mimmick the unix system but others call it a liscense [17:04] and my book talks of it being incorporated into linux [17:04] i am confused [17:04] now how do i change the items in places on the menu bar? [17:04] eero, lsb_release -a [17:04] liscense, commands or what [17:04] JimRome, If the filesystem on the USB drive does not support user permissions then it is controlled by the folder it's mounted in. You have to chmod / chown the folder before it's mounted though. [17:04] i went to system>preferences>main menu but "places" isn't listed [17:05] mb, [17:05] nv, [17:05] JimRome, However I don't think the issue is permissions. You usually have to tell the virtual machine it was access to USB ports some how. I read about it once for an iPod I have no idea how to do it now though. [17:05] nvm, damn, they automatically changed. nice! [17:05] Fendaril: you shouold visit fsf.org for all the details you are looking for. [17:05] Oh. I see. Thanks. So I need to change the permissions of /media/usb1 (in my case) rather than trying to change proc or dev or whatever [17:05] RickiiBETA, Yep. Linux is great! :) [17:05] BluesKaj, it doesn't show information about that [17:05] RickiiBETA, in nautilus, bookmarks [17:05] JimRome, yes [17:05] Thanks edbian [17:05] JimRome, While it's unmounted.

In order to manually start it try something like: $ jackd -d alsa -r 44100 -p 2048 If you would like JACK to start automatically with your user specified parameters try something like this, which will create a file called .jackdrc in your home directory: $ echo "/usr/bin/jackd -d alsa -r 44100" > ~/.jackdrc If you have already done this it is possible another application or non-JACK sound ser [17:08] ver is using the sound card. Possible remedies would be to close the other audio app or configure the sound server to go into suspend mode after a brief amount of idle time. [17:08] Jeruvy: it's a a free organization but I am confused if its just a layout on paper or not. This is because ti was developed without a kernel [17:08] magistar&BluesKaj, thanks, got the answer :) [17:08] but used witht he linux system [17:08] if you are trying to connect to a named jack server, either set the environment variable JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER to that name or launch IDJC with the -j jackservername option. For example: $ jackd -n xyzzy -d alsa -r 44100 -p 2048 & $ idjc -p profilename -j xyzzy [17:08] paulmain: in the volume applet, try tinkering with the output device selections [17:08] what the hell [17:09] Fendaril: exactly, the whole story can be read there if you are interested.

As soon as i make the selection, after closign the app, or do I have to reboot? [17:11] jeruvy, so basically GNU kernel isn't finshed so the linux we use today uses the commands and things it lays out? [17:11] paulmain: keep something running that makes sound and change it, no reboot needed [17:12] Fendaril: GNU is the software, Linux is the kernel. [17:12] ilovefairuz, you're talking about the hardware, or output tab in the volume control app? [17:12] Fendaril: the commands and filesystem layout is not specific to GNU Hurd or to Linux, these are Unix standards [17:13] paulmain: output [17:13] hi guys. is there any easy way to copy a bunch of files to another place via nautilus. some files are symlinks and i want to follow the symlink, not copy it. [17:13] ilovefairuz, ok then, I've got nothing [17:14] rednammoc that is one of the many reasons why people still use command lines :) [17:15] paulmain: do you have the latest kernel updates? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [17:15] madf0x: i know ^^ but it's easier for me to select images via nautilus, then via commandline ;) [17:16] Excuse me everyone, can I use my windows fonts in linux? Can I just copy and paste them or do I need a program for it?

It should be using 4096 byte sectors (it's a wd20EARS) but the hard disk itself apparently says 512. I've read that disk utility sets it up right somewhere (can't remember where) but I want to make sure that the encryption (created with disk utility) and ext4 both use 4096 byte sectors. [17:23] qwd: the EARS drives exposes themselves as 512 byte sectors, yes. They're only 4k internally. [17:23] radi, mrtg [17:24] radi yeah, tons of them, good luck finding a good one though, and often it needs to be inline of the connection though to monitor it [17:24] your router needs to support snmp though [17:24] qwd: so make sure you align the partition at 4k.

[18:15] Duke_Harris: that's a "software kill switch".. try using the command i gave you [18:15] like every 1 sec? [18:15] ok, im gonna try === katoen is now known as bramgn === not is now known as Guest13539 [18:16] how is the performance of an encrypted disk?

Threw in a new card, disabled the old one in BIOS... Now sound is choppy though, after a couple of seconds [18:17] ssn, ok these all work here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/isometri.tar.gz [18:17] cablop: i have a encrypted home an a svn up on 40gb is fast as without an ecrypted drive [18:17] i was using truecrypt on windows for the netbook, and the swap file just make thigs slow... [18:18] ilovefairuz, things like system sounds play fine though (they're short) [18:18] paulmain: uninstall the backports package and try [18:18] and hibernate wake are soooooooo slow [18:18] i have a 4gb usb thumbdrive.. but its not auto-mounting.. i don't see it mounted in any folder.. i'm lost at this point.. [18:18] i wonder if i can set the swap outside the encrypted set [18:18] Andy80: your drive (or its firmware) could be faulty [18:18] cablop: sure [18:18] ilovefairuz: you mean "broken" ? How can I check it? [18:18] hello. Im am completely new to linux. Can someone direct me to a well rounded "thorough" guide on the inner workings of ubuntu.

[18:20] aeon-ltd: will be back in 5 min [18:20] ilovefairuz: the fact is that if I boot any Linux distro from CD it doesn't fail... or if I leave a blank CD inserted, then I boot Ubuntu from my hard disk and I can use that CD to burn some data.... [18:21] cablop: my bad [18:21] ilovefairuz, didn't work [18:21] iceroot: ah! you have an encrypted home... this is another thing... if using the whole disk encryption.... i wonder if swap and common files have performance issues... did you used full disk encryption before? [18:21] Andy80: but polling the device doesn't work, being faulty is not equal to be non-functional, there could be a bug [18:21] sorry..someone a short moment of time answering a question about ubuntu 10.04 [18:21] ???? [18:22] anyone know how i can get to windows files from ubuntu? [18:22] ilovefairuz: ok...

[19:03] ilovefairuz>> http://pastebin.com/t61NxdpS [19:03] ArtistXuser: check their homepage/forums - ive never heard of that variant. and i doubt if you will get much support for it here. [19:04] i have a fast connection and have downloaded many distros and never had a problem [19:04] ArtistXuser: could be their image/torrent is bad then [19:04] mobasher: read the question i wrote [19:04] bhang: apt-get remove soprano-daemon libsoprano && apt-get install soprano-daemon libsoprano [19:04] ilovefairuz>> i mounted it trying to follow some intructions in the fourms [19:04] ArtistXuser: or they dident update the md5 files [19:04] Dr_Willis: that's why i wanted to chat before starting the process again [19:05] mobasher: reboot and don't mount anything, and come back here [19:05] k brb [19:05] hi [19:05] I meant I've installed Compiz and I've opened CCSM.

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [19:05] Dr_Willis: just wanted to see if othersa are having the same issue [19:05] Muelli: Thx... but does that also reinstall every program that the package manager wants to remove? (a long list...) [19:05] vimalsista: that is the advanced custimiuzation.. set the settings how you want. [19:05] hi [19:05] bhang: nope :( [19:05] ArtistXuser: i doubt if very many people in here have even heard of that Variant [19:06] cortom63: hello, what's your question ? [19:06] its on distrowatch [19:06] Hi everyone, the Ubuntu website is discouraging the 64 bit release for everyday desktop computing. Ordinarily this would be fine but I'd like to use my full 4gb of ram. Is the 64 bit release really that bad in comparison ? [19:06] bhang: but I don't see why you would want to remove those reverse dependcies. [19:06] Dr_Willis: ok thanks [19:06] i am brand new to linux and i am using a livecd of ubuntu 10.04 [19:06] ArtistXuser: but it took 12 hrs to torrent.. sounds lik eits not very popular. or needs lots of seeders [19:06] bhang: So I'd do a apt-get install --reinstall soprano-daemon libsoprano [19:06] ciao [19:07] !64 | rantic [19:07] rantic: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [19:07] ArtistXuser: ive seen very few 'variants' that are worth the hassles they seem to have. Easier to stick with ubuntu and add what you want [19:07] wish they had an irc channel [19:07] "fully supported"? That's not what the website reflects ;-) [19:07] I'm aware it's fully supported .. but http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [19:07] Muelli: the statement needs to be removed [19:07] yea...But, I don't see "Custom", open when I right click on the desktop and select "visual Effect" [19:07] "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" [19:07] rantic: use 64bit if you want to.. [19:07] yeah ilovefairuz. "There is a bug for that" -.- [19:08] x64 Run's fine here [19:08] rantic: if you understand what 64bit is.. and does. and what issues you may have. then that statement proberly dosent apply to you [19:08] how can i graphically mount private home folder on startup [19:08] Muelli: so i figured :( I tried a ppa and purged all of it after a while, but those two packages just just won't "go back". I can't build anything from source now for some reason, and they seem to be the problem [19:08] anyone here with vbox guest os ubuntu and windows host os.. and got ubuntu to use a USB Thumbdrive ? [19:08] i just installed ubuntu off of a live cd...on a system running win7...after install i never see the boot loader to see win7 or ubuntu, it goes right into ubuntu... [19:08] rantic: if you had no clue what 32/64bit ment.. then that statement is there to point total beginners to 32bit so they are sure to have somthing that will run [19:09] itsux2bu: ask in ##windows [19:09] bhang: ah, I see. Do a apt-cache policy soprano-daemon libsoprano and pastebin it somewhere [19:09] im just curious why windows would be your host os [19:09] i have ubuntu host windows guest can share files but usb in guest doesnt work [19:09] itsux2bu: I was just listening to a podcast where the caller did exactly this. However he said the performance was just too slow. [19:09] Dr_Willis: Fair enough, I'm kind of a newb transitioning to Ubuntu so I'm not sure. Thanks. [19:09] i am trying to install it but it sees my two 200gb sata ll harddrives as one 400gb, after hours of reading online i managed to get ubuntu installation to recognize two 200gb drives, using the terminal and command sudo apt-get remove dmraid, but when i try to install on my 2nd physical harddrive that is empty it always fails, help? [19:09] bhang: you can do a apt-get install soprano-daemon=yourversion libsoprano=yourversion once you know the proper version (apt-cache policy will tell you) [19:10] rantic: if you have a 64bit cpu.. may as well go 64bit.. if you got 64bit cpu and 4+GB of ram.. definatly use 64bit [19:10] itsux2bu: (wait, I meant to say the other way around, windows guest on usb drive. my bad) [19:10] how can i graphically mount private home folder on startup? [19:11] bye all [19:11] dont go [19:11] pls [19:11] dont leave us [19:11] :( [19:11] PyjamaSpank: mmm, i'm not sure, i just avoid ext4 for the not standard behavior of it [19:11] iluminator101: Alt+F2 - type "gnome-terminal" and you get a fancy UI where you type stuff into. Like "mount" [19:11] can i set up a lvm inside another lvm? is that odd? [19:11] Jenny-england, looks like you are stuck with the rest of us :) [19:12] i really dont mind [19:12] :) [19:12] cablop: I tried it...ran terribly slow [19:12] i like ubuntu to be honest i love it [19:12] hehe, ok, good to know [19:12] any1 here know how to change truecrypt's systray icon? [19:12] ilovefairuz>>hey i'm back [19:13] Muelli: ah, I'll try that right away [19:13] wb [19:13] i just wanted tp setup an lvm with some encrypted and non-encrypted volumes inside... then it came to my mind that that could be worse than encrypting the whole thing [19:13] thanks :) [19:13] muelli:i know how to mount it manually, i am saying it should mount automatically, via access your private data [19:13] you welcome my dear [19:13] just need some help setting up grub (3 partitions 1 boot 1 filesystem 1 swap) anyone can help :) [19:14] what for ? what ubuntu do you want to install? [19:14] hello world [19:14] iluminator101: yeah, it should do it automatically. maybe it's not setup properly. [19:14] Jenny-england>> i got OS installed but just need grub help setup [19:14] izatt82: Hi :) [19:14] mobasher: sudo mkdir /mnt/{root,boot} && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot && sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/sda [19:15] ilovefairuz, nice [19:15] unix ftw. [19:15] i wonder if a live CD will confuse a crypto partition and do weird things like trying to mount it as other kind of filesystem or even worse using it as swap... like sometimes a liveCd do with raid partitions [19:15] Jenny-england>> http://pastebin.com/wkALG0Js [19:15] am i being toooo paranoid? [19:15] hi all :) what command do i use to tell a certain service to start at boot ? thx [19:16] cablop, It simply won't be able to mount it. [19:16] okay guys i am trying to learn how to use the shell better and i missing how to filter this out. I know "who" gets me all logged in users but how would i filter that list by user name length? [19:16] cablop, That's the point of crypto. Not that it gets messed up by another OS. That it can't by booted without the host os or password. [19:16] how wise is to use an unencrypted swap on a full encrypted system? [19:16] Jenny-england>> btw ..i'm on a liveCD [19:16] izatt82: hm. I'd look "awk" up. Or write smth in Python [19:17] cablop, swap is pretty useless to encrypt because it is erased everytime you restart the system (unless you hibernate). [19:17] cablop, IDK if you even can encrypt swap. [19:17] so you got ubuntu installed or do you use live cd ? [19:17] Jenny-england>> i installed it..but just not booting up [19:17] does anyone here know how to change truecrypt's systray icon? [19:17] thanks Muelli. i just kind of got lost digging around. will do thanks for pointing a newbie in the right direction [19:17] cablop: well. it's not as easy as edbian suggests. You will leak data unless you encrypt. [19:17] mobasher: reboot and test [19:18] could you please help ? [19:18] Muelli: leak data? [19:18] Jenny-england: i am. [19:18] Muelli, Can you read the swap partition as a typical user on the system? [19:18] i see sorry :) [19:18] ilovefairuz>> i just reboot want me to reboot again ? [19:18] cablop: sure. Because you write to a disk unencryptedly. So smbd else can read it. === harrison is now known as harrisonk [19:18] mobasher: yes, check if the bootloader now work [19:18] Muelli, I thought that swap was controlled entirely in kernel space. [19:18] k thanks brb [19:18] edbian: probably not. But that's not the scenario you're protecting against, when you're fully encrypting your system. [19:18] Muelli: i want to find a good balance between security and performance [19:18] how to change the dedicated root-space (with tune4fs?) [19:19] Hi. What is good program to backup Data & settings in Ubuntu 64 bit [19:19] Muelli, What is the danger of having an unencrypted swap then? I'm confused [19:19] cablop: crypto is not that much of a performance killer. Disk I/O is expensive. Computation is not. [19:19] edbin... i give it a second thought... if i hibernate and somebody take my disk away he just need to dump the swap info to get it with no encryption at all [19:19] edbian: you lose your machine and a third party can read your password and crypto keys because they have been swapped out. [19:20] sholdn't happen with passwords though, but other data, such as emails might be as problematic. [19:20] Muelli, If that stuff was swapped out. Does it stay on swap even when the system is off? [19:20] Muelli: well... it's a netbook, so cpu cycles count :P, also CPU usage kills the batery... [19:20] Muelli, I see. [19:20] does anybody use ubuntu to connect to their cisco console? im having issues with both putty and minicom [19:20] how to change the dedicated root-space (with tune4fs?) [19:20] edbian: sure. unless somebody comes and encrypts or erases it. but swap is *not* erased. it's only overwritten. [19:20] cablop, The amount of work done by the cryptography is trivial compared to say opening firefox [19:21] Muelli, Ah I see. Classic problem. It's not re-written to 0's it's just flagged as empty. Is that right? [19:21] cablop: *shrug* it's up to you of course. [19:21] cablop, If you really wanna converse run without a GUI! :) [19:21] What if i physically disconnect my windows c: drive and leave my empty d: drive connected, then run ubuntu 10.04 livecd, then try to install ubuntu, will that work, and if so when i re-connect my windows harddrive, will i be able to dual boot, or do both drives need to be connected for the grub to do a dual boot? [19:21] hahaha [19:21] cablop, s/converse/conserve [19:21] edbian: yeah, kind of. I don't know the exact details. [19:21] Muelli, K. Thanks [19:22] no, i need to run a windows inside linux for a time until i can get rid of windows or find a perfect balance on both OSes === harrisonk is now known as harrison [19:23] cortom63, When you turn on the computer the BIOS scans all the devices. It distinguishes those which are bootable from those that are not (cd drives, hdds, usb drives). It has a list (that you can change the order of) that it looks to to decide which device to boot. Then that device takes over. [19:23] how to change the dedicated root-space (with tune4fs?) [19:23] cortom63, It wouldn't be a normal dual boot because the system wouldn't ask you which OS to boot. It would simply follow the list. If you wanted to boot the "other" os ou [19:23] cortom63, You'd have to tell the bios to boot the other hdd. Other than that annoyance it would work. [19:23] Hi [19:24] Sup buddy? [19:24] bsdpunk_: not much === harrison is now known as harrisonk [19:24] well, while installing ubuntu I accidentally dropped my notebook moving it from one room to the other....it's scratched alongside the keyboard and at the back [19:24] can I skin the inside of my notebook? It's a HP DV6000. [19:24] cortom63, You can install ubuntu and windows along side one another in separate partitions on one harddrive. Then grub would replace the windows bootloader on that HDD and it would ask you which to boot when you turn the computer on and the bios boots the hdd. [19:24] cortom63, Does all that make sense? [19:24] sebsebseb, Hi [19:24] edbian: Hi [19:25] !ot | Note-book [19:25] Note-book: #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! [19:25] cortom63, The latter is a true dual-boot. [19:25] edbian: when i try to install ubuntu , it does not pick up that i have another operating system, and picks up one 400gb hdrive instead of the 2x 200gb [19:25] Note-book: what do you mean skin the inside of the notebook? [19:25] sebsebseb, apply a skin to the inside, like around the kayboard [19:26] raven: as in increasing the partition size? use the "parted magic" livecd to resize your partitions [19:26] cortom63, Are you running raid or something? [19:26] Note-book: not quite sure what you mean, but since your on about hardware go to ##hardware and ask [19:26] cortom63, Are these hdds all sata? [19:26] sata ll no raid [19:26] yes [19:26] #join ubuntu-rs [19:26] cortom63, Try booting with only the windows hdd in. [19:26] Anyone to help with conky? [19:26] ubuntu rocks [19:27] jamie_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [19:27] can somebody help me connect to my console via serial port? i have putty and minicom but they arent working... [19:27] hellboy316: correction, Desktop Linux as a whole, whater the distro, rocks [19:27] HI~ [19:27] whatever the distro [19:27] cortom63, Additionally you could install Ubuntu on the empty hdd. Then configure grub manually to give you the option to boot ubuntu or windows and then just tell it that windows is on the other HDD (yeah grub can do that). [19:27] anybodyhome~? [19:27] and then install ubuntu to share that drive? [19:27] can i say something ? :) i have 350gb other 500gb on 350gb in win 7 i went to control panel disk mgr and deleted 500gb made it be unalocated space then ibooted up ubuntu live usb and installed ubuntu on 500gb without problem [19:27] !details | jamie_, dylanc [19:27] jamie_, dylanc: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:27] I'm trying to get a kernel with 802.15.4 wireless support (ZigBee/6lowpan/etc), but the linux-zigbee people only seem to have a full kernel (2.6.36) download and not a patch available.. how do I reconcile this with the standard ubuntu patches? [19:28] cortom63, And tell the bios to always boot the Ubuntu drive (which will then boot grub and give you the option). [19:28] is there any ubuntu ftp community ? [19:28] ilovefairuz, no i mean to reduce the root-space on a partition (to make free and available space equal) [19:28] cortom63, It is EXTREMELY odd that your 2 hdds are being detected as one big one :) [19:28] karlo: what would they do? [19:28] I don't have access to my desktop internet so I cant pastebin ... Sorry can someone help me with logging on error code " Could not update ICEauthority file/home/me/.ICEauthority after hitting ok I get There is a problem with the configuration server. ( /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) after hitting close I get Nautilus could not create the following required folders:/home/me/Desktop,/home [19:28] /me/.nautilus. One more mess to follow [19:28] cortom63, If you run the live CD does the output of sudo fdisk -l show 1 big hdd as well? Or does it correctly see 2? [19:28] jrib, ? [19:29] In terminal, 'sensors' works fine, but I can't get any temps on my conky (they all show as 0), and furthermore, whether I put own_window_type normal or dekstop, when I click on the desktop itself, conky disappears. (I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.1 and I can give code/screenshots) [19:29] karlo: I don't know what a "ftp community " is [19:29] or ftp archive.. [19:29] Guest82189, I was helping you earlier. You need to change the permissions on your /home [19:29] I got it ,sorry~! [19:29] Before running Nautilus, please create these folders, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create them.. [19:29] hellboy316: well some, are much better than others [19:29] hey HELLO again edbian [19:29] Guest82189, yeah see permissions. You should read up on linux permissions :) [19:29] jenny-england: i have got unallocated space on one drive, and empty 2nd one aswell, but everywhere i try to install ubuntu to it fails [19:29] Guest82189, Hi [19:29] jamie_: window type needs to be override if you don't want it to disappear [19:30] Hello, I want to create an ad-hoc wireless network but simply I want to change the channel, so NetworkManager is not fit for me... can anyone help me with that ?? [19:30] Do I want to delete the applet from configuration [19:30] karlo: ftp archive of /what/? [19:30] extraclassic - trying it now - thanks a billion if that's all it was (I've been googling for a couple days now!) [19:30] Guest82189, What? No don't delete anything. Run this command: "sudo chmod -R 777 ~" [19:30] of ubuntu programs.. or ftp forum.. [19:30] Guest82189, without quotes of course [19:30] !software | karlo [19:30] karlo: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [19:30] karlo: umm, you mean the repositories? [19:30] edbian: That'll break more than it will fix [19:31] geirha, It will get it to stop yelling errors. It just won't be secure. [19:31] it shows 2 now [19:31] how to make available and free space qual? [19:31] hello [19:31] edbian: He'll get new errors because of world writable files [19:31] it shows 2 [19:31] geirha, Really? [19:31] guest82189, dont run that sudo chmod command [19:31] jrib, nothing :) .. I will do a long.. long.. long search on the web.. xD [19:31] geirha, I trust you. [19:31] karlo: k, not really sure what your question is still. [19:32] edbian: even worse, clicking smth in nautlus might result in programs being executed... [19:32] is there a way to change the time it takes in ubuntu for the monitor to automatically shut off [19:32] like in windows [19:32] Guest82189, edbian: I'd go with: sudo chown -R "$USER:$USER" ~/ [19:32] extraclassic that worked :-) (although it's no longer in the far background, i.e. I can put icons behind it, etc, but that's fine.) Any clue on tempsensors? I wanted hdd, cpu0/cpu1 and nb/mb/system (one of those) [19:32] Fendaril: gnome-screensaver-preferences [19:32] jamie_: no idea [19:32] ok [19:32] Hello, I want to create an ad-hoc wireless network but simply I want to change the channel, so NetworkManager is not fit for me... can anyone help me with that ?? [19:33] geirha, He's pm-ing me I keep telling him to come back in here. [19:33] Guest82189: rm /home/me/.ICEauthority and try logging in [19:33] Guest82189, See what geirha said up there? ^^ [19:33] firetux: check iwconfig [19:33] i dont know how it i possible i didnt have any problems i mean when i tried to install ubuntu at first i ben looking to resize partition using ubuntu installer and i couldnt resize it but when i have made separate partition and unalocated space without even little problem installed ubuntu [19:33] yup, ill try it [19:33] how to make available and free space qual?

[19:33] first off how do I get the terminal up again... [19:34] Guest82189, alt + F2 [19:34] Guest82189, then type gnome-terminal [19:34] thx [19:34] anything better than "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" for cloning sda to sdb [19:34] Guest82189, You should read this when you're done so you understand better: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html [19:35] Guest82189, geirha, You'll have to help him now. I have to go! [19:35] Guest82189: alt + f2, type your user name and password, then rm /home/me/.ICEauthority , then alt + f7 [19:35] cool... thx and do I go with I Lovefairuz also or no?? [19:35] sda: 200gb with sda1 hpfs/ntfs system and sda2 dell utility, then sdb: with sdb1 linux, sdb2 extended and sdb5 linux swap / solaris [19:35] Temp sensors in Conky always show 0 (for cpu0/1, hdd, etc) Anyone seen this problem before? 'sensors' in terminal works fine [19:35] im creating xfs on a raid5 out of 8 disks, ive read on a forum, mkfs.xfs optimizes for software raids (mdadm im using) but it doesnt seem so, default tells: sunit=0 swidth=0 blks [19:35] Guest82189, Up to you. I don't really know what his command is going to accomplish besides deleteing that file. [19:35] hey guys how to get iscan run as non root ... its says device busy whenever i run it [19:35] jamie_: i'd ask in #conky [19:36] so GNU is the OSS part and the actual kernel is not so much Open source? [19:36] edbian Thanks again for your help [19:36] Fendaril: lol... [19:37] jrib: can you explain [19:37] Fendaril: no, and ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:37] Fendaril: the kernel is gpl 2 [19:37] !free | Fendaril [19:37] Fendaril: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [19:38] Guest82189: The output of ls -ld ~/ would help btw, at least the four first fields it outputs.

[19:39] geirha ok I went with your suggestion sorry for the wait the phone rang... and all I get is the greater than sign.. what should I do next?? [19:39] Guest82189: Hit Ctrl+C, and type it in again, correctly. [19:40] I have 2 ubuntu pc's on this network, how would I go about finding my shared folder on one PC with the netbook?

You auto-completed the wrong nick I think. [19:58] hi, is there a diffirence between the packaged nvidia drivers and the nv drivers from nvidias website? [19:58] geirha: oh [19:58] television did ya mount it -_O [19:59] jrib hmm could you recommend one that is similar to lxde? Gnome or anything based on normal X is too heavy for the machine to run [19:59] winterdj: see above [19:59] Milp_main: try fluxbox [19:59] geirha still getting ding.....ding......ding and a locked screen??? [19:59] winterdj: I started messaging geirha when I was meant to have messaged you [19:59] when using vbox, a guest os can't use a usb device? [19:59] It is time to update to a newer ubunto distribution (I am on 9.10), but I have made some changes to my system, such as removing pulse audio. Is there a way to upgrade without having to redo all those changes every time? [19:59] is Wubi not supported anymore?

[20:00] winterdj: I read about a nasty Wubi bug recently [20:00] Guest82189: Locked screen?

[20:01] sappel: of course [20:01] Freejack yes, but not tiling but real window managing [20:01] sappel: since Hardy is still supported, since its LTS [20:01] whereis the primary monitor resolutions stored on the system? [20:02] cuz hardy is lts...yeh just thought of it [20:02] thanks [20:02] non si può scaricare file? [20:02] Milp_main: have you tried lubuntu?

[20:10] Hi, I have a problem with Firefox. When I start it from the menu it appears in the panel for a second, then goes away. I see it in system monitor but that's all. I've tried reinstalling it with "aptitude install firefox" but no luck. Could someone please help me find out what the problem is? [20:10] mnord: open it from a terminal [20:10] mnord: start it from a terminal [20:10] Hey all. I'm wondering if there's a program/application for ubuntu out there that can give me a better way to watch log files for new entries. I'm specifically having to deal with apache error logs, but it'd be nice to get something that can watch other logs as well. [20:11] jrib: thanks a lot [20:11] SeanInSeattle: logwatch maybe [20:11] SeanInSeattle: so other than tail? [20:11] jrib, Muelli: Empty line, no messages in terminal, no Firefox opens. I see it in the system monitor though. firefox and firefox-bin [20:12] mnord: there you go. it is already running. [20:12] jrib: I need the command line version of that if there is one? [20:12] mnord: you might want to kill it, i.e. pkill -HUP firefox. But you might lose data. [20:12] Muelli, no ït's not. When I kill it and try to start it same thing happens [20:12] is the ubuntu encryption the same as LUKS? [20:12] mnord: it probably is. you haven't killed it thoroughly. [20:13] mnord: check with ps aux | grep firefox [20:13] Muelli, same thing happens after reboot. [20:13] themusicgod1: Hmm.. being somewhat new to ubuntu, I haven't needed to use tail up to this point. How would you use it to watch log files? [20:13] mnord: it might be autostarted. [20:13] mnord: kill it now for us [20:13] !boot [20:13] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [20:13] Muelli, user 2544 0.0 0.0 3340 804 pts/0 S+ 21:13 0:00 grep --color=auto firefox [20:14] mnord: looks good. then "firefox; echo $?" [20:14] Freejack`: make sure smuxi-server doesn't already start up by itself... [20:14] themusicgod1: Nevermind. I'll look at it online, and I'll come back with questions if I have any. [20:14] SeanInSeattle - 'tail -f /some/file' [20:15] jrib: no it doesn't you have to add it [20:15] Freejack`: k [20:15] Muelli, same thing happens with the echo command [20:15] seaninseattle: 'less' will emulate that behavior too with shift-F inside less [20:15] mnord: what is that "same thing"? What does it print on the terminal? [20:15] where can I see a list of installed programs in Ubuntu10? [20:15] Muelli, that is, firefox appears in the system monitor, but doesn't print anything on terminal or appears as a usable program [20:15] CompuTom: dpkg --get-selections [20:16] CompuTom: aptitude searh '~i' [20:16] CompuTom: aptitude search '~i' [20:16] mnord: hm. not very nice. try to run the profile manager to create a new profile. Check firefox --help. [20:16] hello :) [20:16] Muelli, I tried the pkill -HUP firefox command right before doing the echo one so that might be a reason? [20:18] guys, how do you change a directory permission to read/write ? [20:18] from terminal [20:18] radi: what directory and why? [20:18] doesnt matter [20:18] any [20:18] radi: chown chgrp [20:18] radi: it does matter. Changing permissions is a great way to break your install. [20:18] radi: be careful while using. try --help [20:18] Muelli, I created a new profile and with that I could open Firefox, not with the old one though. Thanks for the help! [20:19] mnord: try firefox --safe-mode on the old profile [20:19] mnord: well. at least you know what to look for now. There might be stale lock files in your old profile, so you can go off and search there now. [20:19] jrib: just wanna change permissions to some directory, so other application can write there [20:19] radi: what directory...? [20:19] empty directory :D [20:20] mnord: you can try --profile-manager too [20:20] radi: k, gl [20:20] mnord: a very geeky thing to do would be running strace -f and then digging through that pile of output. Maybe it yields results quickly, like a stale read() on a filedescriptor [20:20] .. [20:20] I think I'll just delete the old profile, use the new one and hope things don't go bad again :) Thanks for all the help! [20:20] radi: you don't answer a simple question, I can't help you [20:21] jrib: that is the answer, it is an empty directory -.- [20:21] radi: what path [20:21] weird... [20:22] is LUKS what ubuntu use for full disk encryption? [20:22] its /home/user/dir jrib [20:22] !permissions > radi [20:22] radi, please see my private message [20:22] i just want to know if i can boot a failed system in case of need [20:22] guys, where's /boot/grub/menu.lst or any equivalent in latest ubu? [20:22] tnx [20:22] cablop: yes. [20:22] !grub2 | zizzfizzix [20:22] zizzfizzix: 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 [20:23] cablop: you could boot with a Ubuntu CD or pendrive (I think). [20:23] thanks Muelli... so i think, if i have the pass i can 'mount' it and read the files and recover things... [20:23] zizzfizzix: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [20:23] Can someone help me upgrade to KDE 4.5 on ubuntu? im a noob [20:23] Flannel: thx [20:23] h :) i have slight problem with my Ubuntu, when text moves for example scrolling up the words become mixed or scrambled with other lines, if i highlight it, it become readable, i do have the nvidia drivers installed but its done it since i installed ubuntu [20:24] zizzfizzix: But you should read that page, as the functionality is a little bit different (changes to that file don't stick) [20:24] cablop: yes. That's what I needed to do once. But back then the live cd didn't ship the LUKS tools (or whatever it was) so I had to apt-get install them. Minor hassle. [20:24] bsdpunk_: i'm not a KDE user, but afaik you just need to enable the right repositories and install the whole KDE thing [20:24] Muelli: yes, a minor issue [20:24] ;_; I don't know how, lol. @cablop [20:24] Muelli, do you have a link to see it? [20:25] well, cause this think is a netbook, i think i'll install a minimal ubuntu just to be able to recover things in case of need :P [20:25] Buonasera [20:25] oh how do you convert a ext4 FS to est3? [20:25] hi, my phone is muted, the sound comes out only in cases of my notebook, someone can you help me? [20:25] ext* [20:25] but the hard part is how to tell the stupid grub2 which ubuntu is the default one, sigh [20:25] i cant seem to get my samba to work. could someone help? i have dont a bunch of search, pretty sure i cleared my firewalls. I Have a Kubuntu box and an XP box. - neither can see eachother. [20:26] How can you see which kernel you have? [20:26] cat /proc/version [20:26] OpenSourceCode: uname -a [20:26] OpenSourceCode: ^^ [20:26] kisuke: You can do it with gParted, but it has no sense [20:26] kisuke: backup, clean, rinse, restore [20:26] if i install two ubuntus... how can i tell grub2 wich one is the default one? [20:26] Misterio, ok modify a file then puyll the plug and tell me where your modifiactions th that file went. [20:27] what is the minimal space needed for a minimal ubuntu install? [20:27] cablop, why would you install 2 ubuntus? [20:27] n8 [20:27] 4GB? 10 GB? [20:27] cablop, goto ur grub editor and change the name... [20:28] kisuke, one is encrypted, the other for recovery purpose in case of need [20:28] cablop, why nott just use recovery mode? [20:28] hi, someone? [20:28] kisuke: cause it is a netbook and there's no place to use a CD [20:28] deusr: just ask your question [20:28] kisuke, cause it is encrypted... eguess what could happen if the system fails after a kernel upgrade or something [20:28] Gnea, my phone is muted, the sound comes out only in cases of my notebook, someone can you help me? [20:29] deusr: what does your phone have to do with it? [20:29] i think there's an esotheric connection in there [20:30] Gnea, sorry, is headphone [20:30] got ubuntu running on a retardedly slow machine [20:31] Hmm [20:31] deusr: okay, so the headphone jack could be borked, and the speakers on the notebook are fine? [20:31] desur gointo your sound prefrences and click mute external speakers (it something like that its been a while sence ive had to do that) [20:31] Is there anyything i can do to minimalize usage of the cpu === Greysc[a]le is now known as Greyscale [20:31] like, disabling advanced things [20:31] Aimee: funny, it's those 'retardly' slow machines that allow anyone to see what code really does and how it's to be understood [20:31] deusr: how many places for jack does your notebook have? one or two? [20:31] Gnea: Yeah [20:32] I enjoyed watching every single screen [20:32] but when i mean slow.. i mean [20:32] Aimee, you caould disable services you dont use, like blue tooth if you do not have a blue tooth adapter [20:32] Gnea, my notebook uses sound room [20:32] Aimee: well, heh, that's gnome for ya [20:32] Aimee: you can use xfce4 too [20:32] deusr: I don't understand the concept of 'soundroom' [20:32] gnea: it's going through the first big update wave now [20:32] but i think disabling compiz and matacity will work for you [20:33] Aimee: using gnome is your first mistake. get rid of that and put something decent on there, like E17 [20:33] aimee, except if your problem is... you don't have drivers enabled and then using slow graphics [20:33] I'm sharing my computer with another, we both have our own username and we use the 'switch user' button while taking burns using the computer. The problem is that I would like to remotely log into my active session using VNC but all i get is a black screen if the other user session is active and mine is locked. How can i solve this? [20:33] hi people :) [20:33] or use xubuntu, if you're a purist and need an 'official' version of everything on there :) [20:34] peturi you can use a different approach, you can use Teamviewer and be sure it opens from the session start [20:34] Aimee, go to startup applications under prefrences and disable all those you don't want... [20:34] peturi, have you tried moving the mouse or fressing a key on the remote machine? [20:34] deusr: did you open alsamixer? [20:34] Mp3, hey [20:34] cablop: I'm not sharing the session, i have two concurrent users logged into the computer at all times. [20:34] got a wierd issue with my server install. for some reason, i can access my server over the LAN just fine, and DNS works great.. but it apparently cant connect to anything outside of the lan. [20:34] cablop, an output (sound) and one for input (mic) [20:34] kisuke: sup :) [20:35] Gnea, yes [20:35] deusr: do you have any other headphones to try out? [20:35] hello === Don is now known as Guest98471 [20:35] hello i want to add the MINT repo to ubuntu [20:35] probando [20:35] Does Gnome have any feature where you can place a graphic file in a folder and have the system automatically see it and set the icon for that folder to the image? Or do you have to manually set them all by hand? [20:35] kisuke: yes i tried. My session won't work unless i switch back to my own users and log him in (unlock the session). which also makes my user account vulnerable as the computer is unlocked while i'm away. [20:35] peturi... ah, sorry, what you need to do is to know what x session is your account in, but the black screen sounds just weird, i think you need to move the mouse and the login thing will appear [20:35] how can i add the mint repo in ubuntu [20:35] !mint > timbuck [20:35] timbuck, please see my private message [20:35] Gnea, is any configuration, because it worked well in gentoo [20:35] hey [20:36] thx [20:36] cablop: Won't work, even tried pressing the 'send ctrl+alt+del'. [20:36] whats the best way to install nvidia drivers in lucid? [20:36] timbuck: not a good idea combine repositories [20:36] what is the minimal disk requirement for lucid? [20:36] deusr: what I'm asking is, are you sure your headphones are not broken? [20:36] xangua, pleae i want to get the wallpapers and themes [20:36] Rob235, look under "restricted drivers" in system>adminstration [20:36] xangua, and maybe some other stuff idk [20:36] !requirements [20:36] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [20:37] cablop, 4GB i beleve, but 5 is better for some breathing room [20:37] kisuke, you mean hardware drivers? [20:37] can someone please help me [20:37] i dont see restricted [20:37] please [20:37] Gnea, no, but that this working, I've tested on two computers. and when I plug it, still leaving sound externally, it is as if I had not plugged into the headphone [20:37] timbuck: sudo apt-get install gnome-colors shiki-colors (icons and gtk/metacity) [20:37] !patience | timbuck [20:37] timbuck: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [20:37] Rob235, thats it [20:37] peturi disable screensaver, i mean set it to blank in your session and retry... i have an issue related to the screensaver and i changed it to the space slideshow and i can log, if i let an opengl screensaver shows up i can't see any login box, it is there, but invisible [20:37] yeah but i want the repo awe but thx for ur help [20:38] kisuke, those arent the latest drivers though, i want to use the ones from nvidias site but nouveau has to be disabled [20:38] um how do you copy do i have to manually type that dam [20:38] deusr: okay, do you have another pair of headphones or speakers to plug in to the computers with? [20:38] Does openbox-session need something else to work with? when i start it on my display it just displays an empty screen. [20:38] do ubuntu automatically use any swap or do i need to explicitly say it which one to use? [20:38] Gnea, I'm working perfectly, as I said, I tested on two computers and are working perfectly [20:38] cablop: The screensaver is disabled. The session is 'locked' and there is another user logged on at the physical machine. [20:39] Rob235: remove the package called something like "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" then try and install as the same as older ubuntu versions. [20:39] ok thanks [20:39] Rob235, not sure how to help you there, for most thinng s the drivers avalible from there will work. [20:39] deusr: do you speak spanish well? [20:39] hey thats not going to work [20:39] Milp_main: right click the desktop; put a panel and stuff in autostart file, use a howto somewhere [20:39] cablop: My user is logged in from :0 and the other user from :2 ... [20:40] peturi... try this, sounds weird but try [20:40] VCoolio i cant rightclick :( [20:40] Gnea, my god!, I said this phone is working.

[20:48] ELREY: you have to format it first [20:48] jolicloud limits too many things for linux nuts :P [20:49] I mean, in what way is it "optimized"? [20:49] if i want to create raid10, should i mark all 4 drives with "extended" or "primary" partition ? [20:49] ELREY: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdxx [20:49] malikeye: better try the offtopic channel [20:49] discozohan: primary [20:49] calk, drag the ubuntu partition to the end of the drive and then expand t5he windows partition [20:49] why would it be off topic? [20:50] Anyway to use two internet connection at once? dsl and wired tether. [20:50] erUSUL: but as i remember there can be only 4 primary partitions, but i already have a drive for root system. Or its ok ? [20:50] ELREY, try ext4 or ext 2 [20:50] kisuke: it doesn't get dragged i tried it === drew2121 is now known as drew212 [20:50] how to add medibuntu repos [20:50] calk, try from a live CD [20:50] malikeye: afaik, the netbook edition is alike the normal edition, but optimized for the screen space [20:50] kisuke: ies i'm booted from usb drive now [20:50] yes* [20:51] calk, it may not let you move the ubuntu partition because it is inuse [20:51] discozohan: yes, there can only be four primary in each disk. but you are going to have one part. per disk right? (maybe i undertood wrongly ) [20:51] cablop: what does that mean? [20:51] is there a channel where i can ask about which mainboard to buy for lucid? [20:51] like I'm looking at a screenshot, and it looks like it has an app launcher [20:51] and i agree with malikeye to talkabout the netbook edition is not offtopic [20:51] kisuke: its not insure i was able to shrink it, why cant i use copy and paste into a newer partition ? [20:51] erUSUL: oh, i got it, i thought there can be 4 primary in system at all. My bad ;) [20:51] I mean, I guess I'll just install it and see :) [20:51] klappi: any mobo should work ok in linux. most problematic hardware is wifi cards; vga cards and maybe webcams [20:52] discozohan: no problem [20:52] calk, have you tried clicking in the middle of the ubuntu partition and draging it to the far right end? [20:52] malikeye, that it gets rid of window borders and use a different 'taskbar' and other things... but i'm not sure, but as far as is ee in the screensots it's just a stripped down windows manager [20:52] kisuke: yes didn't work, i think because the partition is not formatted ? [20:52] cablop: cool, I'll give it a go [20:52] thanks :) [20:53] erUSUL: my current board only boots 1 out 3 tries, and i want to buy a cheap new one [20:53] calk, ok now im confused, is there any thing on the ubuntu partiton? [20:53] kisuke: yes around 5GB [20:53] malikeye, i'm not sure if the current version work this way, but i saw one that's just placed on top of a normal installation, that is you enable it, then your gui changes, you disable it and you get the standard gui, and in a youtube video some compiz effects can work on top a netbook edition, :D [20:54] cablop: cool, I have a Dell Mini 1012 and it's pretty nice, but jolicloud dumbs things down too much [20:54] calk, then the partition is formated, have you tried expanding the partition to the end of the drive and then shinking it infront of the ubuntu partition? [20:54] would a small ubuntu, intended just for recovery usage fit inside a 5GB partition? [20:55] !minimal | cablop [20:55] how to get medibuntu? I want to install google earth [20:55] cablop: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:55] malikeye: If your considering Ubuntu Netbook, I use it on my Dell Mini 10v and love it.

[20:56] no, not a medibuntu, i need to be able to open all files and mount encrypted file systems just if i need to... i don't want to use a stripped down edition, just to install an ubuntu and leave it instaled there :P [20:56] kisuke: yep [20:56] LinuxGuy2009, *shudder* i set up a dell mini 9 with that, didnt sleep for a week. [20:57] kisuke: haha Its a peice of cake. All the needed packages to enable the driver are on the live CD. [20:58] thanks LinuxGuy2009 [20:58] LinuxGuy2009, which disk did you use? [20:58] kisuke: just the standard live CD. [20:58] cablop: can't even get a terminal really... you can, but you gotta do "Start -> Run-> Gnome Terminal".... no way to add that as an "App" or anything [20:58] that is too limiting for me [20:59] killer999: by adding it to your repository list. you have to go to the website and read the repository howto to get your system to 'know' where the repository is and what software is there. [21:00] LinuxGuy2009, jaunty,karmic or lucid? [21:00] Januque [21:00] kisuke: The packages have been on the CD since like 8.04 or 9.04. But I have Lucid installed.

[21:47] kisuke, so I did that, but still active [21:47] ok 1 min [21:47] Iananan: shift time is before that... [21:48] Iananan: you have to press it before during boot ( start pressing it when in bios ) [21:48] i'm planning to install ubuntu on 8 GB and 2 GB swap... enhough? or too much? [21:48] marius` , grab ubuntu 10.04 and boot the live cd , test if sound works [21:48] UndiFineD, you did sudo right? [21:48] cablop , how much ram do you have ? [21:48] In 10.04, is it possible to change the terminal's text from the user@computername:~S to something shorter (such as only using the $ or #)? [21:48] cablop: 8GB RAM and 2GB swap? you wont be able to hibernate [21:48] i have 500gb 100gb swap [21:48] Herald9: yep [21:48] lol [21:48] erUSUL, I was doing, i'll give it another go, do i hold or tap? [21:48] i mean 8 GB disk [21:48] marius`, ok what language you speak ? [21:49] Iananan: tap [21:49] i make the swap partition double as the amount of ram [21:49] Herald9: just edit ~/.bashrc and change the PS1= line to just say '\$' [21:49] hiexpo , natively romanian [21:49] marius`, check this http://forum.ubuntu.ro/viewtopic.php?pid=59226 [21:49] and it's just for rescue the system... i'll set 3 GB the main swap [21:49] ok hiexpo [21:49] erUSUL: it says "GRUB loading" and then just carries on trying to resume [21:49] Herald9: there a re may tutorilas on setting up PS1 for bash [21:49] or even no swap at all [21:50] Iananan: maybe it is still grub1 ? try with "Esc" [21:50] I have installed eGroupware on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, I am using Postgres for the database and Apache2. I have gone through the complete setup and everything is passing the install checks.....when I try to pull up the website @ http://server/egroupware , I am getting "Fatal Error: It appears that you have not created the database tables for eGroupWare. Click here to run setup." Has anyone seen this before, I have searched everywhere wit [21:50] h no help thus far. [21:50] maco and erUSUL, thank you. I didn't know what that part was called, so searching for info on it was less than successful. [21:50] would that happen on a fresh install? === harrisonk is now known as harrisonk_away [21:51] Yes, fresh install [21:51] and no, not even a grub loading message this time [21:51] sigh... i hate the graphic installer has no GMt option for time [21:51] is there anything I can edit in a live session in gedit or something? [21:51] Hi, im having some sound problems. I restarted and now kubuntu has forgotten about all my sound devices apparently. In multimedia they are all grayed out except for Jack and i have no sound. Also, "cat /proc/asound/cards" says "no sound cards" how can i fix this? [21:51] timewriter, No :/ [21:52] Iananan: er... i dont think grub2 says "GRUB loading..." just grub1 does. try Escape [21:52] maco, escape did nothing [21:52] Iananan: you could edit grub.cfg/manu.lst from a livecd [21:52] timewriter, And like i saw, There is Bug #298465 in linux (Ubuntu): “No digital out with VIA VT1708b” [21:52] erusul, awesome, I can boot into my liveUSB fine [21:52] Iananan: ok well yes from a live cd you can edit /boot/default/grub on the hard disk [21:52] if i have 2 GB ram and 2 GB swap... can i still hibernate? [21:53] Hello! sudo apt-get upgrade is giving me no updates, though there should be lots. [21:53] Iananan: change GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 to some other number [21:53] What should I do about that? [21:53] ok next question - im dual booting btw. 10.04 and win 7, but i have 4 boot options for ubuntu..2 are copies...why? [21:53] user_ , im sorry for that [21:53] cablop: normally your swap will be used only for hibernating - so yes [21:53] Iananan: and chroot into the drive and run "sudo update-grub" to make it regenerate the /boot/grub/grub.cfg (just editing grub.cfg, itll be overwritten next kernel update) [21:53] sinnedam that sounds a bit odd, though I know windows 7 uses a second partition as part of it's book process [21:53] maco: (s)he would have to chroot to run update-grub or edit grub.cfg directly [21:53] sinnedam: look carefuly [21:53] timewriter, So, you think that, there is no way that i can fix my audio drivers? [21:53] sinnedam , did you updated kernel ? [21:54] sinnedam: they are old kernels [21:54] sinnedam: maybe you simpally have more than one kernel installed [21:54] maco: nvm [21:54] sinnedam: and that also means two recovery mode options by the way [21:54] i just ran it from the disk and yes it says ubuntu, then recovery, then ubuntu again, then recovery again [21:54] how reliable is LVM? i plan to create a small recovery system... can i place it inside an LVM? or better to use a standard partition? [21:54] maco: is this the right stuff to do? http://www.debianhelp.org/node/11558 [21:54] user_ , maybe they will release a working driver [21:55] maybe not debian stuff [21:55] Iananan: nah thats way more involved [21:55] timewriter, There is no any other solution, for now? [21:55] Iananan: thats actually installing grub [21:55] oh ok [21:55] timewriter, Because like i saw, there will be no resoultion for this audio driver. :| Huh ? [21:55] is there any way to clean that up like in windows boot.ini? [21:55] user_ , you can do some research on google , i dont know any solution for your problem [21:55] cablop: why would you want lvm in that case for ? [21:55] Iananan: you just need like "sudo chroot /media/disk" (or whatever you mount the drive as) then "update-grub" after you edit the file [21:55] timewriter, Okay, timewriter. Thanks in advance! ^^ [21:56] ok [21:56] erUSUL: to be able to grow or remove the swap in the future if needed [21:56] howto find out my Database tables Prefix name: ? [21:56] no problem , user_ [21:57] kisuke, made sure postfix, dovecot and selinux are stopped redid the dpkg --configure dovecot-postfix and it complained about not able to restart dovecot, beacause it was stopped this is true, then started dovceot and it hangs, so now I have found my issue [21:57] kisuke, dovecot wont start :p [21:57] Should have I asked that somewhere else? === Out`Of`Control is now known as Viper [21:58] kyan: asked what? [21:58] cablop: now... what does the swap partition have to do whith the partition you will install this system in ? to grow swap just swapon a new file/partition no need to go fancy with lvm imho [21:58] udo apt-get upgrade is giving me no updates, though there should be lots. What should I do about that? [21:58] you're right erUSUL ... pretty right [21:58] kyan sudo apt-get update first? [21:58] kyan, sudo [21:58] Yup. [21:58] kyan: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:59] maco: what bit of what file am I editing first? [21:59] kyan: contrary to the name, it just does a more complete upgrade...adding new things if needed and removing old ones if needed...like say if a package changes name [21:59] Can someone help me upgrade to KDE 4.5 from 3.5?

[22:01] bsdpunk then go to the #backtrack channel [22:01] hi there [22:02] sebsebseb: it has a persistence mode, and I've been using bt4 as a desktop for about 6 months with no problems other than me wanting to upgrade to kde 4.5 [22:02] bsdpunk_ join #backtrack [22:02] bsdpunk_: we dont have kde 4.5 packages for 8.04 because 8.04 is no longer supported for kubuntu. only 10.04 and 10.10 have 4.5 packages. you are welcome to try to rebuild all the Qt and KDElibs and KDE SC packages if you like [22:02] bsdpunk_: anyway --> /join #backtrack-linux if you please. thnaks [22:02] ok, and now chmod stuff [22:02] anybody? any clue why my sound suddently stoped working? [22:02] bsdpunk_ although no one is really on right now [22:02] Iananan: no...no chmod [22:03] Iananan: what are you chmoding??? [22:03] alright [22:03] nothing! i meant chroot! [22:03] to update the grub [22:03] Iananan: oh ok [22:03] best to wait till about 10 tonight [22:03] maco: i'm fairly new at this stuff. [22:04] Iananan: thats fine :) you just scared me [22:04] A complete list of the output is http://pastebin.com/8qM391hk should I go ahead with that? [22:04] HEElp [22:04] X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) on gdm, metacity, ... [22:05] Ati Radeon hd 4200 [22:05] maco: my hard disk is mounted as a ridiculous string of numbers :( [22:05] I have an external hard drive next to my ubuntu computer. What would be the program to use to make it a network drive accessible to xp? [22:05] Iananan: use your tab key [22:06] Lalaland: samba [22:06] Lalaland: you have to use samba [22:06] maco: MAGIC [22:06] Thank you for the advice [22:06] when compiling and installing one's own ubuntu kernel, where do you get the new initrd.img ? [22:07] !kernel | vect0rx [22:07] kisuke, dovecot seems to hang either when i stop or start it [22:07] vect0rx: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [22:07] ATI 108 crash [22:07] how do I uninstall ubuntu 10.04 and undo the partition? [22:07] PeterT`: do you have another OS? [22:07] I want to find the package that includes hhp2cached from wxwidgets, I guessed this command would help: dpkg-query -S hhp2cached (but there are findings) [22:07] ubottu, the version that comes with lacks IEEE 802.15.4 radio support (zigbee/6lowpan/etc) [22:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:07] To ask again is http://pastebin.com/8qM391hk safe to go ahead? [22:07] jrib, XP [22:08] PeterT`: just format the ubuntu partion to ntfs so windows can use it [22:08] PeterT': there's a partitioner on the cd [22:08] thanks for the link [22:08] erUSUL, how? [22:08] PeterT`: you have to do that after restoring windows bootloader [22:08] It looks a little like it would screw my system. [22:08] join #ubuntu+1 [22:08] Is there a better command to find what package includes what binary? [22:08] maco, update-grub gives me errors, saying "is /dev mounted?" [22:08] I have just done a fresh install of egroupware 1.6. I have Apache2 installed, and I am using Postgresql for my database. I have completed all the configurations and built the database. All checks are passing....But I am getting an error when I try and load the site..."Fatal Error: It appears that you have not created the database tables for eGroupWare. Click here to run setup." I have searched high and low for a resolution, any hel [22:08] p would be appreciated. [22:08] erUSUL PeterT' and trash his install in the process? [22:09] erUSUL, is there a guide for this? [22:09] PeterT`: to restore windows mbr « sudo aptitude install mbr » and then « sudo install-mbr -i n -p D -t 0 /dev/sda » [22:09] alpharesearch: apt-file search _____ [22:09] welll, he recovery version is a linuxmint thing... not willing to configure all the things, lol [22:09] PeterT`: windows has tools so you can format the partition to ntfs [22:09] alpharesearch: dpkg -S only works if you have the package installed [22:09] madf0x: welll he wants to get rid of ubuntu [22:09] thanks maco - now I understand [22:10] erUSUL oh ok then [22:10] hey guys I'm having an issue I'm not sure if its pulseaudio but that's my suspicion. my headphones go mute at about 34% volume [22:10] erUSUL: whoa you can do that? [22:10] erUSUL, what is windows mbr? [22:10] PeterT`: you can also boot with a windows disk, go to console and type fixmbr... it's too easy [22:10] Iananan: oh boo. the annoying part about chroots... [22:10] erUSUL: you can create/install a Windows mbr from linux? [22:10] PeterT`: windows bootloader. so windows can boot once we eliminate grub with ubuntu [22:11] aquatsr: yes. there is asecond method actually with syslinux [22:11] erUSUL, I've done those commands, what now? [22:11] erUSUL: interestng. thx. glad I'm idling here today [22:12] PeterT`: boot into windows and format the ubuntu partition to ntfs [22:12] Iananan: in a different terminal try, sudo mount -B /dev /media//dev [22:12] UndiFineD, have you tried reinstalling? [22:12] hey guys I'm having an issue I'm not sure if its pulseaudio but that's my suspicion. my headphones go mute at about 34% volume. any ideas? [22:12] Go up to 33%..? [22:12] jrenner: maybe this is not an issue... linux gui has an stupoid approach to volume, they decrease it linearly, but that would be done logaritmically... human hearing is based on decibeles... and 34% is in fact linearly close as no sound [22:13] maco: ok, I did that, it seemed fine [22:13] jrenner: yeah thats a bug. i think its a bug in a sound driver reporting incorrect volume ranges which then results in pulseaudio's flat volume getting things wrong. please file it: ubuntu-bug -s audio [22:13] erUSUL, okay, I understand. but what program do I use to "see" the ubuntu partition? === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [22:14] jrenner, cause i barely change volume through software i never tried, but i guess some guis have a way to set them to work logaritmically and not linearlly [22:14] maco: now update-grub ran, but had a lot of errors, mostly invlving fopen failed [22:14] cablop: yes but at 35% it can pretty loud. and I can lower the volume on banshee to even lower and still here it. [22:14] *hear [22:14] PeterT`: the windows disk manager should be able to see the partition even if it can not see inside it. and it will be able to format it to ntfs [22:14] Is someone able to tell me, where to find the Xorg-Bootsplash? I don't need to change it, I just need the file... [22:14] banshee is decreasing sound logaritmically [22:14] PeterT: you will loose all data in ubuntu partition btw [22:14] erUSUL, okay, will try it in a second [22:14] while your volume control is doing it linearly... [22:15] kisuke, i was just about to after reading this : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1279683.html [22:15] erUSUL, don't worry, all my porn is safe on my windows partition [22:15] :P === Greyscale is now known as Greysc[a]le [22:15] PeterT: you can run diskmgmt.msc in "Run" or "Search" [22:15] Iananan: such as? there might be more that needs to be bind mounted... like /proc [22:15] aquatsr, thx, brb! [22:15] i'm not 100% is that your issue, but i saw it before some times... i'd be another issue, but you can give it a try, try using a different volume control, like alsamixer and see what happens [22:15] PeterT: see what aquatsr said. in management console you find the disk manager [22:15] yep, proc/devices seems to be the problem, so, mount it in the other terminal, same settings? [22:16] jrenner: read my last three lines [22:16] Is there a web-based iptables configuration solution similar to what one finds on commercial routers like the WRT54GL? I want friends to be able to easily add port forwarding without having to figure out iptables. [22:16] hi there [22:16] jMyles: what do you mean web-based? [22:16] jMyles: are you using ubuntu as the router? [22:17] i'm having a unbuntu server and i kinda wanna have a GUI [22:17] bint: so install one [22:17] and i guess you want a html front end [22:17] i installed the desktop once but thats way too much.. i just want LAP [22:17] and a graphical user interface [22:17] bint: LAP? [22:17] LAMP [22:17] jrib i guess linux-apache-php [22:17] aquatsr: I'd love, for example, to be able to modify port forwarding in precisely the same way that one can with an off-the-shelf router (going to http://router-address:8000) [22:17] cablop: Yes. [22:17] Iananan: yep this time using proc instead of dev, you got it [22:17] bint: pick a graphical user interface you want and install it [22:17] jMyles: oh I see what you mean [22:17] hi [22:17] kisuke, LOL apt-get remove dovecot postfix -> will install exim [22:18] !lamp > bint [22:18] bint, please see my private message [22:18] yes i know what lamp is [22:18] thats what i wanna use :) [22:18] bint: the bot tells you more than what it is, he tells you how to install it [22:18] UndiFineD, lol [22:18] jMyles i never do that on ubuntu... but i got a wrt54gs and installed openwrt on it, that's a firmware... that setups a lonux inside the wrtrouter, and it has a gui [22:18] so is there a website with diffrent gui previews or should i just google it? [22:18] hi all if I tried to move a folder of images from one partition to another and it disappeared can find it or any of the files in it but the disk space is not freed what tools can I use to find it ? (I have tried find and locate) [22:18] !package exim [22:18] maco: ok, far fewer errors, only one seems to be cannot find list of partitions, do i have to mount dev/sda1 and stuff now? [22:19] bint: why do you even want a gui? [22:19] jrib LAMP is already installed but without any gui [22:19] jMyles: there's an x86 vwersion of openwrt also [22:19] seems like the filesystem has lost the reference to it [22:19] i'm a noob so i kinda have a better overview with a guy [22:19] cablop: the netbook edition is very nice [22:19] bint: I don't really see how [22:19] any one know the factoid for looking up a package? [22:19] and i wanna run some stuff that is gui-based like irc-client etc [22:19] bint: irc doesnt need a gui [22:19] malikeye: really? i'm installing a netbook now and willing to put it on top of it [22:20] I"m happy with it so far [22:20] Iananan: not sure. erUSUL any idea? [22:20] maco? so how do you chat in your shell? [22:20] bint: I run irc in irssi, it's a terminal-based client === crow is now known as Guest94939 [22:20] who was I talkign to before? [22:20] bint: irssi and weechat are pretty popular [22:20] hmm ok [22:20] bint: I'm actually using irssi right now [22:20] PeterT: almost with erUSUL [22:20] cablop: I mean, I have to take that dramatic a step? I'm shocked that such robust, easy solutions exist at the router / firmware level and not at the system / OS level. I don't want to change my entire config around, I just want to give friends a way to configure iptables. I tried webmin and it's even more confusing. [22:20] bint: at some point you cross the line from just being a user to learning system administration, and most sysadmin stuff really requires knowledge of the command line [22:20] bint: instead of, say, xchat [22:20] erUSUL, dude, you broke my windows installation! [22:21] hmm, never heard of weechat, looks neat [22:21] PeterT: ?? [22:21] it is asking for the CD and I dont' have one [22:21] is there a back up program that will save what programs I have downloaded? [22:21] to "repair" it [22:21] erUSUL, are you happy? [22:21] dougb_freebsd you're right.. but since i'm a noob and i kinda wanna have a gui just to easily access my server [22:21] PeterT: i told you to grab a windows cd, enter the shell and type fixmbr... that was what you needed to do [22:21] PeterT: if you do not explain what the issue is... [22:21] we all started somewhere :) [22:22] dougb_freebsd thats it :) i mean still there is a lot cmd line based stuff to do.. even with a guy [22:22] cablop, I don't have a windows cd [22:22] so it just kinda would speed up what i really need [22:22] in the other hand PeterT i think erUSUL didn't break your system on purpose, and if you didn't do something extreme, you can still recover it [22:22] erUSUL, it's asking me to insert a windows cd because it's missing a file [22:22] let me go look [22:22] bint: with irssi [22:23] !GUI > bint [22:23] bint, please see my private message [22:23] \windows\system32\winload.exe [22:23] is the file it's missing [22:23] PeterT: you can use a windows instalation cd to recover mbr too. boot into recovery console and run « fixmbr» maybe you trust windows tools more [22:23] PeterT i guess you changed your partition table and then the bootloader is not able to find the windows were it will be supposed to be [22:23] Hi, all my soundcards are uninstalled for some reason, and i cant seem to get them back. I've tried reinstalling alsa, but that didnt work, and ive tried compiling it myself, but it failed. How can i fix this? [22:23] PeterT: It's asking you for a recovery CD [22:24] I don't have a windows recovery CD!!!!!! [22:24] why would I have one? they don't give you windows recovery CDs when you buy laptops [22:24] PeterT: You just need a NORMAL windows cd [22:24] PeterT: you can easily download one [22:24] where? [22:24] any windows xp if you're using xp, any winvista if you're using vista and so on [22:24] aquatsr: and you can make one assuming you have a Windows install - I know that doesn't help you atm but just saying [22:25] hmm but if i go for apt-get install kubuntu-desktop won't i have games'n shit installed? [22:25] PeterT: try google [22:25] oops [22:25] bint: you'll have everything that's in a kubuntu install... [22:25] hey is there broadcom sta version for kernel 2.6.35 [22:25] yeah anyway google should have some helpful results [22:25] what am I searching for, a Windows Vista recovery CD or a windows vista full install CD? [22:25] PeterT: a windows install cd [22:25] erUSUL: he can use a recovery disk as well [22:25] do you guys have an legal soluations? [22:25] PeterT: there's no thing as a standard recovery windows Cd, a install would be ok [22:26] cablop: yes there is. [22:26] hey is there broadcom sta version for kernel 2.6.35 [22:26] PeterT you have a windows shipped with your laptop, you can get a CD installer for it, as long as it's the same version of the windows your laptop came with [22:26] like so, aquatsr: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ ? [22:26] anyway an insttall one will work as well [22:26] oh PeterT is there a recovery partiton on your laptop? [22:26] aquatsr, yes [22:27] PeterT: try booting into that [22:27] ok, one sec [22:27] aquatsr: the problem is he has no mbr, so no way to reach the recovery partition if there's there [22:27] oh no, cablop? [22:27] cablop: ah damn [22:27] can't i just go for a gui witout anything more than i have on my server.. i dont want games i dont want background images etc [22:27] PeterT: yeah u need a CD sorry [22:27] PeterT: cablop is right [22:27] erUSUL, I suggest you never give advice again [22:27] there's a floppy think that find any bootable thing on your system... let me remember the name [22:27] so, is http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ okay? [22:28] bint: you can always uninstall stuff you don't want after you install the UI [22:28] i foergot the name :S [22:28] guys do you think intel acl1200 and ati hdmi also optirac dvd rw will work in ubuntu 20.04 out of the box? [22:28] bint: install something like fluxbox... [22:28] dougb_freebsd sure.. but it kinda doesn't make any sense for me to install a shitload of apps just to remove 90% of em again [22:28] jenny: probably, and then can you loan us your time machine when you're done? :) [22:28] PeterT: yeah that should work === Zeike is now known as brandonj [22:28] PeterT: i would ponder your sugestion. thanks [22:28] jenny: anything thats i686 or 64bit will run ubuntu, whether everything works from stock is a different matter [22:29] is there broadcom sta version for kernel 2.6.35 [22:29] aquatsr, it's not specifically for home premium, which is what I have, is that ok? [22:29] PeterT: try isohunt site instead, people leave ratings and comments on things so you can avoid getting a 'virused' ahem 'custom' windows cd [22:29] where from did you get 2.6.35? [22:29] jenny, upgrading to 10.10 [22:29] ubuntu [22:29] !10.10 | mininessie [22:29] mininessie: 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 === Zeike is now known as brandonj [22:29] and as i told you, as long as you're downloading the same version your laptop has you are not doing anything ilegal, you are just grabing an installer backup from someone else with it [22:30] so u want to kill your pc? [22:30] is there any program that speaks the text on your computer? [22:30] jenny, not really [22:30] 10.10 is alpha and it wont work [22:30] bint: you have a habit of asking for advice, then arguing about the advice you get .... you want "easy," but you want it on your terms, even though you seem unwilling or unable to figure out the answers for yourself. You might want to consider whether or not this is a good long-term strategy for you. :) === kisuke is now known as kisuke_afk [22:30] !away > kisuke_afk [22:30] kisuke_afk, please see my private message [22:30] cablop, I'm burning that recovery disk now and I will try it [22:31] jenny: that's why people install it - to make it work [22:31] also PeterT don't get mad at erUSUL afaik he was trying to help you and you must know there are some risks while trying to fix something as delicate as a computer [22:31] or as broken as MS [22:31] why byobu do not open second session? [22:31] before you do something, fixmbr will try to fix the problem, but it is not a perfect solution, you can still be losing your system [22:31] Anyone could help me? Cant get this to work so want to do a new install without loosing my setings and installed programs like proftpd glftpd and everything els. Is it possible [22:32] maco: it seems to be ok, this grub2 tutorial https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD says to ignore the cannot find list of partitions [22:32] and also considering you are dealing with the worst windows of this decade.... [22:32] Iananan: okie doo then [22:32] why byobu do not open second session? [22:32] cablop, I can't get into fixmbr because I can't load windows [22:32] eriksson25: it depends on your issue [22:32] Asking again: should I do this? http://pastebin.com/8qM391hk [22:32] i still remeber ubuntu 1985.04 and the second alpha release it didnt work i couldnt make it work i left it and waited for 2010.04 now it is here and im happy dont want anythign anymore now i will upgrade when 2020.04 will come out [22:33] maco and erUSUL: thanks for all your help, lets see if it works. [22:33] PeterT... the fixmbr that cames in the windows installer cd... [22:33] ...which I don't have [22:33] Iananan: no problem. maco did the work anyway ;P [22:33] Wount boot, gives me green screen. Or in recovery erro /bin/sh cant access tty job control turned off [22:33] kyan o.O I wouldnt [22:33] so the problem is you are trying to fix windows with not the whole tools... this is a risk [22:34] Well I'm trying to update my software but it is just wanting to install what is pretty much everything. [22:34] I mean uninstall [22:34] PeterT: afaik you had ubuntu and windows in the same disk, you wanted to get rid of ubuntu, then replaced the old mbr with a default one... until that point that's not bad... then what else did you do? [22:34] When I "echo $DISPLAY" I get no response or output. How do I fix that? [22:34] kyan then perhaps you are already updated [22:34] how do you suggest I do that update? [22:34] hi [22:34] Hey [22:34] Izinucs: provide us with some context... Why do you even want to do that? [22:35] !hi | Stealth- [22:35] Stealth-: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [22:35] kyan: in that case dont upgrade right now. looks like something's broken in the repos. wait a day and try again [22:35] maco: into the grub editor finally! what was it i was supposed to be doing there? [22:35] I have a question, Can I install Ubuntu on a USB disk and boot it from there? [22:35] I know we can create a live USB for it [22:35] bint: you have a habit of asking for advice, then arguing about the advice you get .... you want "easy," but you want it on your terms, even though you seem unwilling or unable to figure out the answers for yourself. You might want to consider whether or not this is a good long-term strategy for you. :) [22:35] jrib: I've been playing with X over ssh and without that parameter I'm somewhat stuck [22:35] !install > Wingzero [22:35] Wingzero, please see my private message [22:35] why did u say that? [22:35] Wingzero: losng storu short: yes [22:35] Iananan: i dont know. i just know you wanted to get to the menu [22:35] jenny: that's all fine and good, but keep the smoke and mirrors to yourself, kthx. [22:35] Wingzero yep [22:35] why byobu do not open second session? [22:35] I need some help quickly. I am using whatpulse for ubuntu, and want to know how i run xorg, as supposidly I can alter the settings so my mouse works with whatpulse in there. My question is how do i open xorg and change the settings for my touchpad? [22:35] Izinucs: how are you sshing? [22:35] kyan, the problem is it will remove everything that is not in the repos will lose a lot itlooks like to me [22:36] bint: I think the statement is pretty self-explanatory [22:36] bint: talking to yourself? [22:36] I think it's on my end because a couple of days ago I tried to update, and it ~110/120 updates wanted but I stupidly killed it and now it is broken. [22:36] what kthx mean ? [22:36] maco: I was adding noresume to my kernel options [22:36] okay, thank you. [22:36] jrib: ssh -X something@ip .. It's all on the LAN [22:36] nah dougb_freebsd told me that [22:36] Izinucs: both ubuntu machines? [22:36] PeterT: ? [22:36] cablop, nothing after that, just tried to restart into windows vista [22:36] shcherbak: oh ok then hit e, arrow down to the really long line, arrow to the end of it, type noresume, and hit ctrl+x [22:37] well dougb_freebsd but ain't i right.. i mean there is no sense for me to install a huge desktop enviroment to later remove everything [22:37] sorry, I was upstairs trying to fix the problem [22:37] Stealth- sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:37] i think fluxbox is prettymuch the thing i was lookin for [22:37] ok PeterT do you have an ubuntu live cd? [22:37] Stealth- but good luck figuring out what you need to change [22:37] jrib: yes.. destop (ssh server) is Kubuntu 10.04 and laptop client is ubuntu 10.04 [22:37] Izinucs: is x11forwarding enabled on the server? [22:37] bint: You're free to consider what I wrote, or not. :) [22:37] jrib: yes [22:37] Ahh shit madf0x you are right [22:37] Izinucs: you restarted the server after enabling it? [22:38] how can I tell if something's broken in the repos or if it's a problem on my end? [22:38] jrib: yes.. [22:38] what is the best text-to-speach program for ubuntu? [22:38] !language [22:38] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:38] Stealth- I havnt heard of the software you wanna use, but if it's worth using then their page should have advice on how to config it right [22:38] I am reading a kinda guide but its poorly wrote, I have to get GrabEventDevice"= put to false [22:38] erUSUL: where do I add the noresume to the kernel thing? i hit e, and got to the edit, just sticking it on the end didn't work. [22:39] maco: all my tty decided to run same byobu session, I just want to open new (second) session in terminal. what option should be used? [22:39] Iananan: just between the splash and quiet options ? [22:39] madf0x, there ubuntu/linux support is the worst ever, it had no guides, they are really poor in the linux department in general [22:39] !best [22:39] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:39] YES WINDOWS VISTA RECOVERY CD WORKS!!!!!! [22:39] shcherbak: why do you need a second session, not just a second window in that session? youd need to remove the byobu-resuming code at the end of ~/.profile to keep it from auto-reattaching [22:39] thx cablop!!!!!!!! [22:39] anyone from england over here ? [22:39] and whoever else helped me! [22:40] no thanks to erUSUL! [22:40] jenny: im sure there are plenty. if youd like to find the UK local community channel, thats #ubuntu-uk [22:40] PeterT: you are wellcome [22:40] Stealth- generally for me a nice google combo of -linux xxsoftwareineedfixxx xxxconfigfileneedingconfigurationxxx- turns up a good list [22:40] jenny I am yes. [22:40] maco: thx, for remote user one and for me one [22:40] Izinucs: I just tried now (by default forwarding isn't enabled). All I did was enable it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, restart the server, and then had DISPLAY set (and forwarding working) [22:40] madf0x, thanks for the help, I will look into it more, give me a few mins [22:41] PeterT, hey hey thanks 4 the complimates but please do not insult the people that work 4 free here to help you === lap_dragon is now known as cahl-hith [22:41] PeterT: lol, don't be that way, erUSUL was ehlping you also [22:41] shcherbak: byobu is screen.. use it once and then you can make it have multiple "instances" within that "screen" session.. [22:41] cant find people form england on ubuntu-uk just froms scotland ireland etc but no england no matter [22:41] jenny: i assure you there are quite a few. i know a bunch of 'em [22:41] is it true that englands national anthem has changed?

[22:42] well another question.. you told me that there are terminal-based irc clients like irssi and stuff.. so how can i open a new terminal in my shell? i startet the server and i'd like to edit a file but i dont know how to open it so i could edit some lines - sorry i'm a noob === LjL is now known as Guest43412 [22:43] Asking again: how can I tell if something's broken in the repos or if it's a problem on my end [22:43] Does ubuntu allow you to have multiple profiles? [22:43] I mean hardware profiles [22:43] :) [22:43] kyan, switch repos for a little while [22:43] kyan: check bugs.ubuntu.com, investigate yourself, ask here... [22:43] Asking again: I am having trouble connecting to wireless internet. Could anyone help me out? [22:43] !wireless > headclone [22:43] headclone, please see my private message [22:43] headclone: state your problem more ecactly, hard to know what your issue is [22:43] bint: what are you trying to do? [22:44] jrib: If I'm into the desktop via ssh and edit sshd_config or ssh_config then restart the ssh server shouldn't I be bumped off the machine during the restart? [22:44] aqua i installed the fluxbox [22:44] Ok, I can connect to ethernet, and my router is working with all the Windows computers in my house. [22:44] Eughhh [22:44] bint: oo ok i dunno what that is. maybe someone else can help you [22:44] but on the website it says: You need to open up /usr/share/xsessions/fluxbox.desktop in the terminal and edit it. When you see the following text: exec=fluxbox [22:44] Jennys spamming me with anti-england propaganda [22:44] oh [22:44] Izinucs: apparently not (doesn't here) [22:45] ok so open up Terminal [22:45] I cannot get Ubuntu to recognize the router [22:45] did u do that yet? [22:45] Izinucs: weird [22:45] yes. [22:45] but i dont have a desktop so i can't open a terminal [22:45] i'm just after startup on the servers command-line [22:45] no terminal is a program [22:45] no mouse.. no menu.. no gui nothing [22:45] Ok looed at bugs.ubuntu.com but there are 487 results for repo. [22:45] you're on ubuntu, right? [22:45] I mean looked [22:45] ubuntu LAMP server [22:45] Izinucs: what's even more interesting is I can stop the service :) [22:45] oh.. ok holdon [22:45] jrib: ok.. I checked ssh_config and sshd_config .. both are set to X11Forwarding Yes or is it yes.. Is one valid and the other not? [22:45] bint: are you logged into the physical machine directly, or are you ssh'ing into it? [22:46] Izinucs: maybe it doesn't restart/stop while connections are open [22:46] i'm logged in directly (vbox) [22:46] cablop: how can I change the repos I'm using? [22:46] do 'cd /usr/share/xsessions/' [22:46] yep thats what i did [22:46] there i am [22:46] erUSUL: OK, it didn't try and resume, but it still breaks at boot, it keeps doing this. I might just reinstall completely, something obviously went wrong, whenever I edit something it does this [22:46] i tried sudo edit fluxbox.desktop but that doesn't work [22:46] ok [22:46] ATTENTION ALL 1483 UBUNTU USERS > WETHE PEOPLE HERE HELPING YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND > YOU GOT UBUNTU FOR FREE AND WE HELP FOR FREE PLEASE DO NOT INSULT US THIS IS REALLY OUR TIME > HELPING YOU > thank you lots of love hiexpo [22:46] no no [22:46] do sudo vi fluxbox.desktop [22:46] vi is an editor [22:46] jrib: It did give me a new pid number [22:46] to insert text press a [22:46] ahh aright thx [22:47] hiexpo: dude ease up on the caps [22:47] to stop insertion mode press escape [22:47] to save press :w [22:47] to quit press :q [22:47] kyan: inside synaptic or editing the sources.lst file [22:47] hiexpo anyone who wants to show appreciation can give me a letter of referrence ;) [22:48] to delete an entire line, go to that line and press escape then dd [22:48] Help!

[22:48] madf0x, true butno right to insult [22:48] kyan: why? You should stick to official repositories [22:48] I just set up LAMP and trying to load my site for accessing by internet, frustrating. I [22:49] Hello everyone, quick(ish) question: How and where does ubuntu store wallpaper settings for each wallpaper? [22:49] Any stepwise help [22:49] jrib: I was told that http://pastebin.com/8qM391hk means the repo is broken [22:49] kyan: well.. let me think... you can select your local or the main servers [22:49] the_fool: no idea, but I'm guessing gconf... [22:49] kyan: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list* [22:49] hiexpo meh flames > /dev/null and they miss out on help when they need it [22:49] (I've been having that problem for a while. [22:50] jrib, I've looked around gconf-editor and I can tell that it saves them I just don't know where - I'm trying to write a quick script to change my wallpaper on login (done that) but I need some way to remember if that pic should be zoomed or what backround color etc etc [22:50] vishwajeet: the site should be put in /var/www .. if this machine is behind a router on your lan then you'll be dealing with a couple of things... first your ISP most likly blocks port 80 and you'll also have to port forward connections from outside on port 80 or whatever to your specific machine... which hopefully you've set up with a static IP address [22:50] I have web server set up [22:50] does anyone get a black sceen when they install 10.04.1? [22:50] what does :q mean? is it on a normal IBM keyboard the ctrl or alt button or somethign? [22:51] the_fool: did you find the settings in gconf-editor? [22:51] bint: it means you type a colon and then a q [22:51] hi all, my computer is freezing alot, any software to test harware in ubuntu? [22:51] Yes it is therethanks [22:51] yes [22:51] jrib - yes [22:51] perlsyntax , i have it at boot [22:51] but i wait a while untill the xserver starts [22:51] I can see files there. I set up virtual hosts also [22:51] until* [22:51] is there away around it [22:51] bint: no, type a colon, then q at the colon prompt [22:51] the_fool: use gconftool-2 to manipulate it non-interactively [22:51] but I am unable to access them because of firewall [22:52] jrib, right, but I'd still need some sort of list which has the settings for each picture [22:52] ? [22:52] bint: type : and then a q press enter to quit [22:52] Somebody got on my computer when I left to find a CD and when I got back I found that they had ran "for f in *; do cd $f; rm *; cd ..; done" on my open terminal. After this a few unimportant documents seem to have gone missing. Should I be worried about any important system files missing? (this was run as non-root) [22:52] the_fool: I'm not sure what your question is [22:52] bint: assuming you're in vi === ganesh is now known as Guest63996 [22:52] jinxx if this is done as a non-root user [22:52] jinxx no, but next time dont leave your terminal open like that [22:52] then I don't think so [22:53] as madf0x said, lock you screen [22:53] :) [22:53] jinxx you couldve been baggy-pants much worse then that :) [22:53] I thought I had hit ctrl+l, but I guess not... [22:53] jrib : http://pastebin.com/iwPwfvuZ [22:53] I was worried because I noticed my /tmp directory had been cleared out [22:54] jrib, I wrote (stole) a script that will pick a random picture from a folder and set it as the wallpaper, but the computer doesn't remember the other settings this way, for example if I need a picture to be zoomed or centered to look nice the computer can't remember that [22:54] kyan: get rid of all the unofficial stuff [22:54] jrib: when you restart ssh it's with "sudo service ssh restart or sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" .. just did that again then "pidof ssh" and guess what?.... there are 3 pid's of ssh.. so I guess that means I have 3 ssh servers running .. [22:54] has anyone managed to use iwconfig to connect to wpa? if yes, how? I am getting SET ENCODE err and with wpa_supplicant getting prase err. [22:54] Izinucs: shouldn't matter but I use "sudo service ssh restart". The old PIDs may be to maintain your old connection? Not sure. [22:55] is there a channel for hardware testing? [22:55] kyan: you have debian repositories in there... I hope you never ran an update with them? [22:55] Izinucs: the only way I can think of off hand to implement what you want would be to generate a file with the commands you want to run for each photo (one per line) then pick a random line from that file and execute it [22:55] Hi! I made the mistake to install nautilus-elementary and now I'm not able to downgrade to the standard version of nautilus. All ppa-entries have been removed and apt-get update has also been performed but still I'm getting "nautilus: Depends: nautilus-data (< 1:2.31) but 1:2.31.1-0ubuntu1~ppa91 is to be installed" [22:55] hello,i have usb web cam, how i install it [22:55] Any ideas? [22:55] jrib: which brings the question of how do I log into one of the new ssh server sessions [22:56] dougb_freebsd: thanks.. but I think that was meant for someone else === JanC_ is now known as JanC [22:56] Izinucs: why not just close all the existing connections and see what happens? [22:56] jrib : here it is. [22:56] http://pastebin.com/WpWCAC0Z [22:56] star314: you could probably remove it with dpkg --remove --force-depends nautilus-data [22:56] scans: plug it in and check /dev/video and lsusb @ first [22:57] kyan: run "sudo aptitude update" and then see if you have the same output as before with the command you pastebinned [22:57] Now it doesn't want to remove anything but not want to uprgade anything either even though I'm pretty sure there are ~100 waiting for it [22:57] star314: or maybe --reinstall --force-all or something [22:57] Izinucs: sorry, you're right, that was for the_fool [22:57] kyan: did you ever run updates with the debian repositories enabled? [22:57] /quit [22:57] ChogyDan: ok, I'll try [22:57] thanks [22:57] the_fool: the only way I can think of off hand to implement what you want would be to generate a file with the commands you want to run for each photo (one per line) then pick a random line from that file and execute it [22:58] http://pastebin.com/XaPVSDvM [22:58] shcherbak: there is no file with this name [22:58] the_fool: the other thing you could do (if there are not that many photos involved) is to spend some time with a photo editor like the gimp to scale them to properly fit your desktop [22:58] !who | kyan [22:58] kyan: 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 :) [22:59] dougb_freebsd, hmm aight this may be a bigger project than I had planned in which case I might switch to a language I'm more comfortable with, thanks for the advice :) [22:59] jrib : debian repos? sorry I am not sure . How could I tell? [22:59] kyan: the repos you just removed were for debian, not ubuntu. Did you ever run an update with them? [22:59] jrib: did that.. after logging back in I get new pids but just a blank line to echo $DISPLAY.. frustrating. [22:59] Izinucs: you still have multiple ssh servers? [23:00] jrib: 3 pids yes.. every time I exit and log back in the numbers change [23:00] I think so. Those were for trying to use MJ12node with mono. [23:00] If I recall correctly. [23:00] Izinucs: is it a hassle to go on the server and work on this locally? [23:00] Oops I forgot to remove the Google chrome one. [23:01] shcherbak: u mean i go to this dir /dev/video? [23:01] kyan: you can leave that [23:01] jrib: no.. I can be there in a sec.. I'm on irc there as well but as Scunizi = Izinucs (forwards/backwards) [23:01] is it easy for newbies to install from source code ? [23:01] hmm now i'm trying to start fluxbox but it doesn't work.. i installed the xserver-xorg-core [23:02] Ok. I also (today after the problem started ) added the chromium daily builds. [23:02] Izinucs: ah, well I'd stop ssh there, verify /etc/ssh/sshd_config is in order, start it up again, and "ssh localhost" [23:02] sectoralarm ./configure make "make install" done [23:02] sectoralarm: what do you want to install¿ === Greysc[a]le is now known as Greyscale [23:02] Izinucs: although like I said ssh seems to stay open as long as there are connections, so make sure it stops [23:02] how to access my ubuntu server remotely any ideas? Thanks in advance [23:02] how can i edit the ubuntu entries on boot time? [23:02] !ssh > vishwajeet [23:02] vishwajeet, please see my private message [23:02] scans: /dev/video1 or 0 but lsusb will tell u what can u using, it easy to find how to page then [23:02] i don't have any change to press the "e" key [23:02] where and how ubottu [23:03] *madf0x* ok but can it be different commandos for different applications ? [23:03] jrib: I'm there locally now.. I'll kill the service and restart === Guest43412 is now known as LjL [23:03] vishwajeet: read the link ubottu gave you in a private message [23:03] Scunizi: check with ps that it dies [23:03] scans: try cheese it will play most of cam [23:03] can anybody help me? [23:04] i know of ssh and have loaded that as well, can you help it set it up? [23:04] Hazel-, only you can help yourself [23:04] how do I make sure the apache server is running? [23:04] hello [23:04] vishwajeet: did you read ubottu's link? [23:04] mininessie: are you jesus? ;) [23:04] i want to install the latest gnome apps from source code if it works , is there any repository for that ? [23:04] Hazel-: install startupmanager [23:04] baba: status apache2 [23:04] xangua: i can't boot the machine [23:04] Hazel-, no [23:04] sectoralarm: what is your interest? [23:05] this is way i need to edit the kernel parameters [23:05] sectoralarm: what you just said is self-contradictory [23:05] i have downloaded ArtistX but the md5 sum in the file they provided does not match the iso but the md5 on the website matches [23:05] Hazel-: what's wrong with it¿ [23:05] jrib: strange.. as I'm killing it it restarts itself [23:05] xangua: the latest ubuntu is not boot on my machine [23:05] just installed [23:05] jrib, that didn't work [23:05] Scunizi: how are you killing it? [23:05] sectoralarm: I think there are ppas for individual apps, but in general Ubuntu already pretty closely follows Gnome development [23:05] unknown job: apache2 [23:05] sectoralarm: what exactly do you want to comile¿ [23:05] jrib: sudo kill -9 [23:05] jrib, i thought i downloaded it from the repository [23:06] and this is very anyoning [23:06] Scunizi: and « sudo service ssh stop » ? [23:06] I aptitude got it [23:06] Hazel-: did it work in the live cd¿ [23:06] jrib: that stops it for sure.. [23:06] malikeye: is the current netbook edition as i said, that you can enable disabled on need? [23:06] xangua: i didn't try it [23:06] xangua : iam not thinking in terms of compiling , i just want the latest apps for gnome and always stay latest and as much as i learn its best to install from source [23:06] Hazel-: how did you install it then¿ [23:07] baba: use « ps -ef | grep apache » I suppose [23:07] malikeye: is the current netbook edition as i said, that you can enable disabled on need? [23:07] xangua: using the alternate installation cd [23:07] sectoralarm: is best to install from repository [23:07] i have downloaded ArtistX but the md5 sum in the file they provided does not match the iso but the md5 on the website matches [23:07] jrib: looks like I now have a result for the display command.. :) [23:07] Hazel-: try first with the live cd to make sure it runs fine [23:07] i don't see the point [23:07] jrib: that is after stopping and then starting the service locally [23:08] xangua: what is the point to see if the live cd is working? [23:08] it's a fresh installation [23:08] jrib: now back to the laptop and test [23:08] xangua : ok but whats disturbs med is that its seperate repository for most applications and thats not every applications offer official repositorys either :( [23:08] ArtistXuser: try their forums/support services, it's not really an ubuntu question [23:08] Hazel-: well the pint is....to make sure it works...... Hazel- [23:08] point* [23:09] what for? [23:09] jrib, it says "baba 3091 3073 0 13:21 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto apache" [23:09] baba: then you don't have apache running [23:09] its ubuntu based distro.. and their forum requires one to be a memeber [23:09] hey compiz isn't a wm, it's just the program that allows you to customize special effects in your wm yeah? [23:09] jrib, how can I get it running? [23:09] baba: what is the result of « apt-cache policy apache2 »? [23:09] If that's the case where do I go to customize the settings of it in ubuntu? I don't see it anywhere under the system or places drop downs? [23:09] ArtistXuser: this channel is only for ubuntu support [23:09] installed none [23:10] jrib: ok.. weird.. logging in remotely and doing the DISPLAY command.. nothing .. blank line :( [23:10] sudo apt get apache2 ? [23:10] i thought i did something like that before with aptitude [23:10] Izinucs: hmm. I didn't try to login remotely, hold on [23:10] how would i share a hard drive on my desktop on the network? [23:10] !apt > baba [23:10] baba, please see my private message [23:11] can someone recommend some repository for latest gnome apps , want latest , is there any ubuntu official ? [23:11] jrib, how do I get apache2? [23:11] sectoralarm: no, why do you want it? [23:11] sectoralarm, make sure all of your sources aer enabled and you may want to look at ppas [23:11] baba: see ubottu's information about using APT [23:11] jrib: I've also permitted root logon is that makes a difference.. that is.. the ssh setting for root login.. it just allows me to use sudo remotely instead of locking me out. [23:12] sectoralarm, you want to run like gnome 2.31 and such [23:12] Izinucs: is that what you are using to test? [23:12] Holaaaa [23:12] sectoralarm: i use this ppa https://launchpad.net/~guido-iodice/+archive/guiodiclucid (use ppa's under your own risk) and also getdeb and playdeb [23:12] jrib, i'm in the "Ubuntu Software Center [23:12] which "Apache" thing should i get? [23:13] Hello. is it possible to run ubuntu off USB using a macbook does anyone know???? Thanks~? [23:13] jrib: not sure I understand the question.. using what? an ssh connection yes.. [23:13] thx very much [23:13] cristian: you have to speak english here, please [23:13] !es | cristian [23:13] cristian: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Can you try with a regular user if so? [23:13] baba: ok, you can use that too. [23:13] sam898889, i dont see any reason why not, as long as your bios has the ability to boot from USB [23:13] jrib, but I don't know which "file" i should download? [23:13] Izinucs: ssh -X foobar works ok here even remotely [23:13] kisuke, do macbooks have bios? [23:14] there are many choices when I refine using "apache" [23:14] baba: install the apache2 package [23:14] sam898889, yes [23:14] jrib: no.. logging in as a user.. I don't have root enabled on the machine.. but I do have root enabled for logging in on ssh.. different things.. not your typical root login.. [23:14] jrib: what do you get when you "echo $DISPLAY" .. [23:14] kisuke, COOL so any ideas how to do it? [23:14] btw which command do i use to add https://launchpad.net/~guido-iodice/+archive/guiodiclucid to my ppas ? [23:14] Izinucs: localhost:10 iirc [23:15] sam898889, nope dont have a mac, try the usual though, F2.del, ETC [23:15] jrib: even locally .. what I get is :0.0 [23:15] Izinucs: hmm [23:15] Where is fstab? [23:15] I forgot... [23:15] sectoralarm: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" [23:15] sectoralarm, if you want the latest gnome stuff then install arch [23:15] Scrumps_: /etc [23:15] Thanks ilovefairuz [23:15] Izinucs: I think the only nonstandard option I have is "UseDNS no" [23:16] Does anyone know how to measure terminal size? [23:16] ok iam a newbie so ubuntu fits fine , just like to stay up2date , hope that repository will do the trick :) [23:16] Scrumps_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [23:16] Hi everyone [23:16] I think Ubuntu is cool [23:17] Izinucs: you didn't forget -X right?

[23:17] sectoralarm: if you're new you're better off sticking with what comes in ubuntu, which is generally pretty well tested, including compatibility with the other things installed. Adding new stuff that hasn't been tested, patched, etc. may void your warranty :) [23:18] klappi:That helped but I was looking for specific dimensions, as in 1x20 [23:18] or 10x40 [23:18] Something to that effect [23:18] jrib: humm..

[23:20] dougb_freebsd: ah i see, thats more than i know :) , i am very curious about gnome 3 and the look of ubuntu 11.04 :) [23:20] jrib, good idea.

[23:21] baba: mpd ftw [23:21] HiEveryone: doesn't cook breakfast for me [23:21] Neither does Ubuntu [23:21] how would I reconfigure X on nvidia - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg never works - I want to be prepared for the next time I lose X [23:22] jrib, may I pm you?

[23:22] or any other one? [23:22] can someone please point me in the right direction? I am trying to get rid of key authentication on my ubuntu server but am not quite sure what to look up in google to change it over to a username/password based authentication [23:22] baba: I have not, but if you just ask the question about it, maybe someone can help [23:23] Elad: you know you can use both? [23:23] jrib, well, I'm just not sure of how to "run" the software [23:23] I did not know this [23:23] Elad: /etc/ssh/sshd_conf [23:23] jrib, just as I though I had downloaded apache [23:23] ...ig [23:24] Hello everyone.

[23:24] is audiacious bether to handle large music collections than rhyhmbox? , or is there any other great player for that ? [23:24] Elad: key auth is generally considered more secure, what is your purpose in getting rid of it? [23:24] kylenas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [23:24] zcat[1], what value/config am I looking for? [23:24] Izinucs: weird, not sure why your $DISPLAY gets set differently [23:24] # Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords [23:24] PasswordAuthentication no [23:24] v this cn be little tricky dont u have sound at all? [23:24] [23:25] !sound | roky [23:25] roky: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [23:25] jrib: ok.. thanks.. google might give some results.. I'll check [23:25] Elad: although I'd strongly advise you to use key-based authentication.. [23:25] even if ssh is running on a different port? [23:26] Elad: even if.. [23:26] my window buttons are gone!! uuggg max min and close [23:26] Izinucs: could you actually open up something like "xclock" locally on the server after sshing locally?

[23:26] Guest35182: alt+f2 > metacity --replace > enter [23:26] Anyone know of a good SVN checkout system for Ubuntu? [23:27] zcat[1], thank you for the help [23:27] jrib: nope.. Error: Can't open display: [23:27] $LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 wine exe doesn't work [23:27] I've about given up geting 10.04 to work on my Dell E6410 - I've seen all the articles for the nVidia chipset - but I have the intel one :( [23:27] I have just done a fresh install of egroupware 1.6. I have Apache2 installed, and I am using Postgresql for my database. I have completed all the configurations and built the database. All checks are passing....But I am getting an error when I try and load the site..."Fatal Error: It appears that you have not created the database tables for eGroupWare. Click here to run setup." I have searched high and low for a resolution with no [23:27] luck.....I am hoping someone here can help. [23:27] HonkeyMagoo: default cli svn client does not work ? [23:27] ist ubuntu Protected from hack,or do i need anti virus? [23:28] scans: anti virus is not neccessary unless you want to protect your windows friends :) [23:28] wasabi_: no idea, you don't run wine, you install it to run windows apps [23:28] !virus > scans [23:28] scans, please see my private message [23:28] scans: use a firewall [23:29] scans: for future references, there is no such thing as a unhackable/unpenetrable system [23:29] xangua: okay yes i know.... [23:29] jenny: check ubottu's alias list. type: /msg ubottu brain [23:29] woha [23:29] xangua: i'm trying to run a japanese locale app [23:29] so there is no one can hacked me any more [23:29] scans: ubuntu is by default considerably more secure than a reasonably well secured Windows machine [23:30] scans: never say never.. but *very* unlikely [23:30] scans: but if you want the greatest possible security you should look into openbsd perhaps.. ;) [23:30] I have an interesting thing happening that I've never been able to solve. I use dual monitors ... my laptop screen as the main one and then another monitor. I'm grading online posts for classes I teach. When I grade a particular discussion, I click on it and a window pops up to grade it. But it ALWAYS pops up on the extra monitor to my left, and I can't figure out how to make it pop up on the main laptop monitor where I'm currently worki [23:30] ng. [23:30] cd /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ [23:30] zcat[1]: not really, the unix architechture is good but not that good, also ubuntu installs ufw by default but fails to configure it, just wondering what the hell with that? [23:31] i typed and thats what i have got maco wants me to tell you: about women [23:31] jenny: i told ubottu to tell you about the ubuntu women project [23:31] I have been having an issue recently. I am on 10.04 and I did an update and now when I start the package manager it tells me there is an issue and to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [23:31] hou5ton - which monitor is your primary? [23:31] wants you to know: The women and men of the Ubuntu Women project hang out in [23:31] ok thanks guys [23:31] :) [23:31] But when I do that I get: dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory [23:31] how did you make bot to tell me soemthing :) [23:32] so u want to go out ? [23:32] jenny: sent it a command [23:32] to #ubuntu-caffee ? [23:32] #ubuntu-pub ? [23:32] jenny: and no i do not. there are no dating channels within the ubuntu namespace [23:32] !offtopic [23:32] #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! [23:32] :) [23:32] jenny: i just figured based on your nick you might be a woman and therefore might be interested [23:32] jenny: ah it's not supposed to say that.. should give a link to http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [23:33] c_j: Well ... I guess the laptop one is ... that's where the menu bars are, and I have my display extended to the other monitor to my left. [23:33] we need a factoid for !dating [23:33] it gave me link to wants you to know: The women and men of the Ubuntu Women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? [23:33] so are you grading on the external or laptop screen? [23:33] ilovefairuz: jenny is confused [23:33] i get 'bluetooth is not running" on 'sudo service bluetooth status'. how to tell if my desktop support bluetooth? [23:34] jenny: ilovefairuz and i BOTH told the bot to tell you stuff [23:34] :) [23:34] jenny: you're pasting what *i* told it to tell you. ilovefairuz had it tell you something /else/ [23:34] do you guys knwo im 65 years old? [23:34] retired [23:34] Anyone know what to do with this? "dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory" [23:34] jenny, hey welcome :) [23:34] are there any consequences of changing your home directory's permissions to o-rx so that no other regular user can read the contents? [23:35] acx0: nope thats fine [23:35] In what programming language was Ubuntu written? [23:35] c_j: but you want to know something interesting about it ... if I set the external monitor to be on my right, instead of left, THEN the popup stays on the laptop screen where I'm working. [23:35] maco: thanks [23:35] CompuTom: most of them... [23:35] wonders what's the best option to use inside LVM... ext3 or reiserfs... [23:35] CompuTom: many [23:35] CompuTom: like any unix system. many/most things are in C [23:35] CompuTom: ubuntu, is just a collection of packages, a custom built kernel and documentation [23:36] hou5ton - sounds like the right monitor is your default [23:36] CompuTom: laregely C and C++ but also heaps of python, perl, and a handful of other languages. [23:36] whats a good torrent client with a web interface for ubuntu [23:36] CompuTom: the linux kernel is C, Qt/KDE apps are usually C++ but sometimes python, GTK/GNOME apps are usually C but sometimes python, there's some perl floating around too...oh and some C# in F-Spot... [23:36] hmm.. that's not right either [23:36] * cablop wonders what's the best option to use inside LVM... ext3 or reiserfs... [23:36] CompuTom: it would be better to ask what the core packages are written in [23:36] c_j: even though the menu bars are on the laptop one? [23:36] No C# in my system, first thing I do is remove all the mono ;) [23:37] Yes, you can still have either one as default - menu bars aside === madf0x is now known as madfox [23:37] check and see which one is showing as default under the display settings. [23:38] I don't think there's much written in Cobol though.. [23:38] HELP Please... I did the alt f-2 meticity --replace but now the bottom 25% of my screen is black.. I saw a message "Docky requires something to operate correctly then it dissapeared... [23:38] what could you suggest? to go ext3 or to go reiserfs to create volumes inside a LVM? [23:38] anyone use emerald themes manager? [23:38] dad__: it needs a compositing manager i think [23:38] moon`: really dont recommend it [23:38] cablop: ext4; reiserfs is a death end. is going the way of the dodo [23:39] !emerald > moon` [23:39] moon`, please see my private message [23:39] maco any other recommendations aside from just compiz-fusion or is it best just to stick with compiz? [23:39] aeon-ltd can you help me with it? [23:39] shcherbak: u still there? [23:39] c_j: When I go to System/Preferences/Monitors, it doesn't seem to tell me which one is default. [23:39] dad__: just enable effects in compiz :) [23:39] moon`: i used to use emerald, back when it was still being maintained, but nobody's written a line of code for it since 2007 or 2008... bugs (and oh boy does it crash!) dont get fixed === Anna-essex is now known as essex [23:39] is there a text reader for ubuntu? [23:39] i have a question for you guys, what is the syntax for combining this statement without having to pipe into awk twice like i did. cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '$4 > 8' | awk -F: '{print $1}' [23:39] moon`: compiz and beryl merged into compiz fusion years ago. there is no "just compiz" these days [23:39] hiho [23:40] lxLee: sudo apt-cache text reader [23:40] with resier where he is, don't expect too much ongoing development or support for reiserfs .. but I think some of the ideas behint it are in btrfs now? [23:40] ops [23:40] hou5ton - you'll probably need to edit your xorg.conf file [23:40] apt-cache search text reader [23:40] moon`: the alternatives to compiz-fusion for a compositing window manager these days are to turn on compositing in metacity (gnome's window manager) or to use kwin (kde's) [23:40] izatt82: awk -F: '$4 > 8 {print $1}' /etc/passwd [23:40] aeon-ltd OOOO you are good my friend.. Thx [23:40] erUSUL: i don'ty want to use ext4... i don't see why it is much better than ext3 and... and i worry about losing data due to its inherent caching feature [23:40] oh ok so everything is the same just inside single quotes [23:41] Did Reiser really kill Nina? [23:41] maco, okay thanks maco, another quick question what do you use for an irc client? irssi? [23:41] dad__: it worked? [23:41] Or they still couldnt prove? [23:41] Noob_Saibot_: he confessed and showed them where the body was. [23:41] i get 'bluetooth is not running" on 'sudo service bluetooth status'. how to tell if my desktop support bluetooth? [23:41] Noob_Saibot_: he guided the police to the place where the body was hidden... so.... guesss [23:41] hou5ton - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [23:41] aeon-ltd but of course... u doubt yourself? [23:41] OMG! [23:41] c_j: I move around a lot ... sometimes have dual monitors, sometimes don't ... sometimes it's a different monitor .... don't really want to be editing that file all the time .... [23:41] moon`: i use quassel-client and i have a quassel-core on my server. quassel (the monolithic, not client/core setup) is the default in kubuntu [23:41] izatt82: awk -F: '$4 > 8 {print $1}' /etc/passwd [23:41] and to ask that... is really Noob, LOL!!! XD [23:41] k thanks [23:41] izatt82: The topic of #awk has some nice links on learning awk. [23:42] cablop, zcat[1]: so sad ;/ hey, lets start a free reiser campaign hehehehehe [23:42] lol [23:42] geirha: thanks for the help on that i was making that way to hard [23:42] Have there been any hardware that was working under 9.10 that has been discontiuned to 10.04 [23:42] dad__: sometimes... i'm not exactly a 'seasoned' users - just almost 2 years of linux experimentation [23:42] *user [23:42] izatt82: sorry missed geirha [23:42] hahahaha Noob_Saibot_ yup... and cause reiserfs has his name on it... well... this is how to kill a project [23:42] i have problem with reading and writting arabic font on aMSN is there any package do i need to download it? [23:43] I know that Synaptic package manager has the feature to create a download script. But Im wondering if any command line tools have this same ability? [23:43] The silly thing was he'd done everything else right, if he'd just kept quiet and let his lawyer do the talking he could have gone played a round of golf with OJ, easy . [23:43] scans: arabic language pack? [23:43] geirha: yeah today is my first time using AWK so its a whole new world to me [23:43] aeon-ltd can I ask you.. I have the advance graphic thing installed that gives me the iconic looking icons as a taskbar.. dont know what it is called ( i am a dad ya know) anyway, i also have the taskbar over it.. can I make another cool looking iconic taskbar instead of the usual one?? [23:43] create a nice project, tie your name to it, commit a very important crime, but let peiople no way to ptove it, just doubts, but no proof at all, then you became popular all over the world... then confess... certainly that man is going to pass to the history [23:43] end of OT XD [23:43] cablop: Even tough he is a murderer, I dont think he should spend too much time in prison. I mean... come on.. Nina was a junkie, a bad mother, was stealing from his company and cheating on reiser with a travestite serial killer O.o [23:43] aeon-ltd: what u mean? [23:44] aeon-ltd 2 yrs!! more than I got Ill tell ya [23:44] what's a great scanner, with gui, to scan and OCR documents? [23:44] how to find if my hardware has bluetooth support? [23:44] when i try to vnc to my desktop running 10.04; i cant see screen refresh (graphic effects are turned on and id prefer to leave them that way)? [23:44] or is there an alterate way to do remote desktop? other than vnc? [23:44] well... i don't know... Noob_Saibot_ but even a few years are able to kill anything in the software echosystem [23:44] Now Reiser4 is on the same group that is Duke Nukem Forever and Enlightenment 17 [23:44] scans: search in synaptics, or languages in the menu. or it could just be your font doesn't have arabic characters [23:45] bonez2046: I dont think Linux has much OCR software but there are actually free online websites that you can feed a scanned page and it will OCR it for you. [23:45] owen1_, are you talking about your computer or a peripheral? [23:45] cablop: Yeah, that is really sad. Someone should fork it.. . [23:45] !ot | Noob_Saibot_ cablop [23:45] Noob_Saibot_ cablop: #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! [23:45] i can read and write in other chating but in aMSN show me letter by letter [23:46] kisuke: my desktop. i just bought apple wireless keyboard. and get "bluetooth is not running" when i type 'sudo service bluetooth status' [23:46] Noob_Saibot_: btrfs takes a lot of reiser's design I think. so it's kinda forked already [23:46] kisuke: so i want to make sure my desktop support bluetooth. [23:46] hehe kisuke, sorry for that... to keep an eye on an ubuntu install just makes you loss the focus [23:46] .. and improved on [23:46] .. and less dependent on a single developer. [23:46] hi people [23:47] is there a way to get ati power management with lucid with the opensource driver? [23:47] bonez2046 : http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/138511 [23:49] hi all... I have decided to ditch Gentoo after 10 years, but I have one question about mdraid / lvm2 when installing [23:49] owen1_, try "lspci | grep bluetooth" and "lsusb | grep bluetooth" [23:49] owen1_, in a terminal [23:49] kisuke: i get nothing [23:49] How can I get ubuntu to recognize a serial mouse? [23:49] kisuke: oh. wait [23:49] owen1_, what kind of computer are you using? [23:50] kisuke: yes. gets nothing. it's HP. desktop. [23:50] i was reading reiserfs can be resized in hot... O.o [23:51] kisuke: hp pavilion 250n. let me google [23:51] c_j: one other thing ... I just discovered that it doesn't do it if I use Google Chrome. Only Firefox [23:51] owen1_, where do you live? [23:51] kisuke: la [23:51] owen1_, looks like you will have to get an adapter for bluetoth [23:51] kisuke: or buy keyboard with a dongle [23:51] owen1_, calafofnia, USA? [23:51] kisuke: yeah [23:52] right now I have two 2tb drives, I currently run a daily rsync of the important stuff from one drive to the other, for performance I have swap and tmp on the secondary drive. what issues am I going to run into at install? the only backup I have is the secondary drive. will I be able to use mdadm type setup without copying over my backup first? [23:52] Does someone have a handy reference for ext4 vs. ext3 (stability, features, etc.)? I have found a couple, but they seem like they may be stale [23:53] How can I use a serial mouse in ubuntu? [23:53] hhuumm just installed 10.04 went to open rhythmbox and click radio... nothing there or playing [23:53] owen1_, not nessacarly, not of those use a protocol that is not blue tooth, so its a single purpose USB port really, if you get a bluetooth adapter, you will have ythe ability to add to your system later, say keyboard now, and a bluetooth headset, etc [23:53] Some_Person, is should just be plug and play [23:53] kisuke: It's not [23:53] sorry to ask, but who is in charge of e17 repositories [23:54] I dont see any updates since may or june [23:54] php5-mysql: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed [23:54] what does this mean [23:54] im trying to install php5-mysql [23:54] dougb_freebsd: no reference... i just came with three ideas about choosing ext3 over ext4... 1) ext3 does not delay writing, so more reliable in scenarios when what you write is more important than performance, 2) ext3 is older, so it's more stable, 3) oracle is about to launch a newer fs and afaik they plan to make a tool to convert from ext3 or revert to ext3 [23:54] kisuke: true. microsoft arc keyboard comes with wireless usb. it's not bluetooth. [23:54] kisuke: Remember, I'm talking about a serial mouse (with a DB-9 connector), not a PS/2 mouse [23:55] cablop: thanks, 1) and 2) were what I had gleaned from my research as well ... regarding 3) are you referring to zfs? [23:55] Ubuntu Server 10.04: SFTP file transfers from my server will not go faster than about 680k/sec over LAN. if I start more than one transfer at once, they will each stick at 680 until the ethernet capacity is used up, which is about 3-4 simultaneous transfers. how do i make sftp go faster? [23:55] Some_Person, what does it show up as in dmesg? [23:56] zeleftikam, it should be in the .conf file of the server you are using [23:56] kisuke» do you know where i might find this file? [23:57] zeleftikam, /etc// [23:57] kisuke: As far as I can tell, it doesn't [23:57] hi all [23:57] kisuke: IIRC, serial mice cannot report themselves to the system [23:58] any advantage on using xfs instead of ext3? [23:58] kisuke» there are a lot of directories there in /etc/. any idea what the server might be called? [23:59] Some_Person, unless its a really archaic mouse it should still work, when you plug it in, and then run "dmesg" in a terminal what are the las couple of lines? [23:59] Hey everyone, I have a quick question. So I just installed server 10.04 on my tower, and now when I go to boot it it just hangs after the part where it asks you if you want to boot from cd, the part where grub is supposed to load. Any ideas? I am really stuck on this and any ideas would be appreciated [23:59] maybe it's stupid question and it's not right place to ask but anyone used freebsd? how about hardware copmpatibility? it's really so bad with hardware compatibility [23:59] zeleftikam, nope, you installed it so... [23:59] jjb123» the correct boot disk might not be selected [23:59] kisuke: They show the USB mouse I have plugged in for temporary use [23:59] kisuke» ubuntu server doesn't ship with an sftp server? [23:59] !freebsd | ubuntu-usr
