[00:10] if i stop a distro upgrade via 10.04 to 10.10 will it resume back to where it was at [00:20] how do i use patch [00:22] mininessie: Depends on how far you're into the upgrade. There's a "point of no return". If you pass that, you can't go back. [00:22] There's a message saying so at that point. [00:22] i need to patch broadcom sta [00:31] Why? [00:36] geirha, kernel 2.6.33 needs it [00:39] Hm. There aren't any Ubuntu releases with linux 2.6.33 afaik [00:40] geirha, yes but if your running 2.6.35 i gotta patch cause the patch is for 2.6.33 and higher [00:43] And you're sure Ubuntu hasn't already patched it? [01:57] hi please: im trying to instll a package and im getting error cannot find glib? === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris [04:48] is this good or bad todd@todd:~$ sudo aptitude upgrade [04:48] No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.

[04:54] mininessie: It means all the packages you have are up-to-date [04:54] try running sudo apt-get update [04:54] then sudo apt-get upgrade [05:34] Hi, someone have a macbook 3.1 ?

How do i do? is it CD and then the map name? [17:37] map? [17:37] mapp [17:38] folder [17:38] cd folder [17:38] man cd [17:39] the name of the folder id. hämtningar. Do i just type "cd hämtningar" then? [17:39] is* [17:40] Sunkan85: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz [17:40] do take a while and read the basics ;) [17:40] ty =) [17:40] is map another language? [17:40] oh [17:40] folder [17:41] also take the time (about 5 secs) to learn about tab complete - start to type the name ie - ham then try using the tab key [18:29] i have added some ppa in the software sources but when i reload the synaptic package , it does not download the ppas which were added by me. please help me im going to install vlc 1.1.4 [18:29] did you update the sources? either apt-get update or reload [18:38] ia have added some ppas but the package information is not updated when i run the apt-get update command [18:39] i want to install the vlc 1.1.4 [18:40] abhijjeet: I'm going to give you some commands - can you run them all in a terminal and then copy the whole lot to paste.ubuntu.com [18:40] yes i will [18:41] cat /etc/apt/sources.list && ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [18:41] run that please - I will have a look at that first [18:42] abhijjeet: also where did you get the ppa information from ? [18:42] please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/485933/ [18:43] i have got the info from the launchpad website [18:45] abhijjeet: which ppa is it? the korn one? [18:45] it is ferramroberto-vlc-maverick.list [18:45] yea - saw it :) [18:46] can you open that and paste it - cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ferramroberto-vlc-maverick.list [18:46] it is possible that it is not up to date being a maverick one [18:48] might be better asking in #ubuntu+1 if it's not an obvious error [18:48] when im going to update in the terminal it shows some sources have invalid file name extension [18:48] please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/485939/ [18:50] looks like there is not a maverick one yet [18:50] run the update and give me the error [18:54] Indeed. Only lucid: https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/vlc [18:54] abhijjeet: if the error says something along the lines of " there is nothing at ferramroberto maverick" try editing the file - gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ferramroberto-vlc-maverick.list [18:55] change maverick to lucid in both lines and run update again [18:55] geirha - yep [18:57] im trying it be with me for some more time [19:01] abhijjeet: I am about [19:02] please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/485949/ [19:04] yep - we suspected that [19:04] abhijjeet: if the error says something along the lines of " there is nothing at ferramroberto maverick" try editing the file - gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ferramroberto-vlc-maverick.list [19:04] change maverick to lucid in both lines and run update again [19:10] please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/485951/ i think vlc 1.1.4 is not ready for maverick if you know another source from where i can innstall it please give me details and also help me in this regard how to add ppas? and how to confirm that the ppas is working or not? [19:14] abhijjeet: i guess you shud satiisfy the dependencies use the option built-dep [19:14] and see wht it ll give you [19:14] either that or wait for packages to catch up = such is life on the edge [19:14] build-dep [19:19] Hey, is anyone here good with regexp in htaccess files? [19:22] tenach, i don't even know what use regexp have. what are you trying to do? [19:23] Hi filks, How to I burn a "double layer dvd" on commamdline? http://pastie.org/1127131 this is what I get so far. thank you [19:23] anyone ever successfuly burned doublelayer dvd? [19:24] seidos, Right now it converts all .php?var1=blah&var2=blag&subj=var3 into .com/blah/blag/subject_with_spaces but I am trying to figure out how to make them - instead of _ :/ [19:27] tenach, i'd probably have to see the file, it looks like you could just replace _ with - using a simple replace [19:27] latenite, have you tried something like [19:27] growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=1 -Z /dev/hdc /path/to/files [19:28] tenach, not that i would figure it out even if i saw the file, heh [19:28] seidos, want to see my headache? [19:28] tenach, yeah, let me see it [19:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/485964/ [19:28] ;D Not as easy as "finding the _ to replace" [19:29] it's under read rules [19:29] tenach, sure look at my paste :) [19:29] hopefully my computer keeps working. i am, ahem, experimenting [19:29] latenite, I did look at it, sorry. xD I am up just before work. [19:31] tenach, i should have just kept my mouth shut. this makes no sense to me. [19:31] latenite, I think that is the extent of my knowledge on such matters - you are arguments after growisofs that I don't understand (from not using them) [19:31] seidos, :D [19:32] regexp makes my eyes hurt. [19:32] everything makes my eyes hurt. python, c, php. mysql [19:33] &_& [19:33] it's all voodoo [19:34] tenach, so what can I do now? [19:34] seidos, hahaha. [19:35] latenite, I do not know. I myself would have to resort to googling or looking on the ubuntu forums (I would suggest looking there, and posting if you need help) [19:37] tenach, I did I cant find anything on doulbe layers [19:38] I would suggest posting on there for help, as it seems that most of the people here are away or otherwise unable to respond with help. :D [19:38] latenite, did you search the forums using google? [19:38] seidos, sure [19:40] latenite, then i guess post on the forums, and/or ask in #ubuntu [19:57] Do I need to be online to set-up ubuntu? [19:58] lesclassic, you mean to install from a live cd? [19:58] lesclassic, the answer in this case is no, but to get updates you need to be online [19:59] I have it installed from a usb, but now I'm stuck [20:00] I only have wireless, but cant set it up without internet [20:34] I think I ended up defining a keyboard shortcut (ctrl+f) by mistake. I don't see it listed in Keyboard Shortcuts. Where/How can I disable such an ill-configured shortcut? [20:36] hello kedarm [20:38] kedarm: what does it do? [20:38] yes duanedesign [20:38] yeah, it opens an xterm :( [20:38] ahhh [20:39] i think i have heard of this [20:39] i have no idea how I managed to do this. [20:39] I was playing with KB shortcuts, but this one has me stumped. [20:39] did you install xbindkeys? [20:39] Yes! [20:39] :) [20:39] how did you know? [20:40] i have seen this on the forums before [20:40] Ah! So, should I uninstall it? [20:41] kedarm: can you open a Terminal? [20:41] haha, ctrl +f maybe :P [20:42] kedarm: run the command: gedit ~/.xbindkeysrc [20:43] kedarm: paste the contents of that file at http://pastebin.ca/ [20:43] if youve never used pastebin, you paste the contents into the box, click submit post and then copy and paste the address of the page it gives you here [20:44] kedarm: i think their might be a line or two in their we can comment out and get rid of the ctrl + f shortcut [20:49] duanedesign: oops sorry, give me a minute [20:50] kedarm: no problem I am here. Working on some other stuff so I am not going anywhere for awhile :) [20:51] duanedesign: thanks! here you go -- http://pastebin.ca/1929336 [20:55] kedarm: well i dont see anything there [20:55] kedarm: so their are two other options [20:56] their is an application called 'xbindkeys-config' you can install it with the command: sudo apt-get install xbindkeys-config [20:56] it is a GUI for configuring xbindkeys [20:58] I installed xbindkeys-config [20:58] after installing, or if it is already installed [20:59] run "sudo xbindkeys-config" from the command line. There should be three default entries in the list, as well as any other ones you've set up. Delete the entry that maps to ctrl+f then save it. Make sure you use the "save to default file" from the file menu or it will just revert on you. [20:59] Unfortunately, I don't see an entry against Ctrl+F :( [20:59] I only have two entries [21:00] ctrl+shift+q, ctrl+alt+Print [21:00] I dunno how ctrl+f is taken :( [21:01] huh, that is exactly what was in the file you pastebined [21:01] right [21:01] do I need to restart something? [21:01] which i guess makes sense :P but doesnt help us... [21:01] kedarm: no let me look at something real quick [21:01] Maybe I have to logout and log back in? [21:01] ok. [21:04] kedarm: ok. You can run this command to check the global shortcuts [21:04] gconf-editor /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1 [21:05] running it. [21:05] it will open gconf and see if ctrl+f is in the list it brings up [21:06] ok, looking [21:08] hmmm. I can't locate ctrl+f in global-keybindings, keybinding_commands, window_keybindings of Metacity :( [21:08] kedarm: ok [21:08] kedarm: i read a forum post where the user removed those two keybindings in the xbindkeys GUI [21:09] kedarm: also try launching xbindkeys-config [21:09] without the sudo [21:09] yes, without sudo, but the same thing. [21:09] two unrelated shortcuts there. [21:10] kedarm: ok i would try your suggestion of logging out and back in, or reboot. [21:12] might try deleting the two unrelated shortcuts. Not sure how but someone on the forums claims that worked for him. [21:12] hmmm. ok. [21:12] ok, I going to get out. will report back. [21:16] duanedesign: ok, I am back. Ctrl+F is restored to "Find" [21:16] Had to kill xserver session :( [21:17] That key reassignment was driving me nuts. [21:19] kedarm: it looks like the new version (in Maverick) doesn't do that. I think that frustrated enough people they decided that was not a good default [21:20] duanedesign: but, Lynx does not do that either. It's just that my misadventure with xbindkeys landed me here. [21:20] Sad thing is that I couldn't fix it w/o logout :( [21:24] how can i select a wireless access point and get a dhcp lease from within the terminal? [21:26] seidos: have you looked at iwconfig? [21:27] kedarm: nope, not yet. let me run it in another window [21:30] kedarm: i think this is what i need. thanks === Guest79237 is now known as compiledkenrel === compiledkenrel is now known as compiledkernel [22:03] all right, i tried using iwconfig to set up wireless, but it didn't work [22:03] because i couldn't figure out what the ap id was [22:05] so i guess my question is, how do you scan for available access point information? [22:43] all right, iwconfig didn't work for setting up my wireless. i got the essid and network id, added it with iwconfig, then tried running dhclient...but dhclient wouldn't get an ip. [22:43] but wireless still gets configured in gnome [22:46] perhaps you should look at your /etc/network/interfaces? [22:46] kedarm: how will that help? [22:46] I sympathize with you because I think the wireless network configuration in Ubuntu can be problematic. [22:47] kedarm: i'm just trying to learn how this system works. i'm messing with this because i was playing around with sources.list [22:47] what i want to do, ultimately, is see if i can get xorg to work without gnome [22:48] Well, I usually keep my script that does a specific sequence of ifup and ifdown after setting wireless configuration options (essid, password etc.) and then it sorta works. [22:48] but right now, without xorg and gnome starting up, i don't have wireless, and without wireless access i'm pretty much dead in the water [22:50] kedarm: so you're saying you had to get write a custom script to get it working? O_o [22:51] seidos: yeah, unfortunately. [22:51] I had a WEP enabled wireless network. [22:51] kedarm: oh i don't. well, it's my brother's ap [22:52] kedarm: it doesn't matter, i'm just going to give up [22:52] seidos: sorry, don't have anything definitive to say. [22:52] kedarm: no worries [23:26] hello guys [23:27] evrytime i launch ubuntu it tell me [23:27] that i wont get to use some fucntionalities n ask me i have right to read/write my folderpreference [23:44] kosaidpo: hello [23:45] hello [23:45] do you have any idea how can i set this up ? [23:48] kosaidpo: hmm, i have not heard of that one [23:48] duanedesign: my problem ??want me to explain it ?? [23:49] is this a regular Ubuntu install or did you install Ubuntu inside windows with Wubi? [23:49] noo [23:49] normal install [23:53] duanedesign: any idea ? [23:53] kosaidpo: if you can get the exact error message that would help [23:55] kosaidpo: can you take a screen shot of the error message with the prtsc key? [23:55] yeh ill === compiledkernel is now known as Guest64699 [23:56] kosaidpo: you can paste it on imagebin.org [23:58] let me jst try this [23:58] comande [23:58] okies [23:58] pls
