Seveassharperguy, it's rare but can happen00:00
nukno prob.00:00
macosharperguy: there are router exploits, yes. you should always keep your router updated with the latest firmware00:00
sharperguyhmm ok00:00
[KS]if router is running windows, possibility even higher :)00:00
=== Guest50782 is now known as froggyman
Guest29385good. i wish it was that but no. it seems lag problem00:00
sharperguyEither the router is infected or al the computers in the house have the same malware00:00
sharperguyincluding this ubuntu one00:00
sharperguyall the rest are xp00:00
PeterNLSeveas: "run as peter at di aug 31 00:52:24 CEST 2010 - run as peter at Tue Aug 31 00:55:01 CEST 2010 - run as peter at Tue Aug 31 01:00:01 CEST 2010" and that's it :(00:00
nukubuntu; infected ....hmmmmm00:01
Guest29385anyone from canada here00:01
SeveasPeterNL, then I have no idea :)00:01
macosharperguy: cross-platform malware isnt unheard-of, but... last one i heard of was an OpenOffice.org macro virus00:01
litatacosyup00:01
PeterNLhmmm...00:01
nukmaco... sorry to interrupt, i only joined a few min. ago.... what is th problem here?00:02
sharperguymaco, It's affecting DNS resolution as well as occasionally hijacking search engines. I'm going to set my dns to opendns to see if that helps. Is it possible to set DNS servers while still using DHCP?00:02
PeterNLSeveas: I should test the logging by creating a error somehow. to trigger stderr and see if it works...00:02
macosharperguy: yes of course00:02
sharperguyhmm I just can't see how to do it00:02
SeveasPeterNL, echo >&2 "This is an error"00:02
PeterNLBut i suppose it just works, but gconftool-2 just sin't verbose enough00:02
macosharperguy: you can change your router to not push DNS settings while still using DHCP, i believe00:02
amoskhello all00:03
nukhi00:03
macosharperguy: you can also just set a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf after connecting to force your DNS on the host00:03
sharperguymaco, Yeah I don't have control over the router so i was going to do it locally00:03
macosharperguy: i dont know enough about xp to tell you where to set DNS settings on there00:03
PeterNLnow wait another 1:20...00:03
macosharperguy: for that youd try ##windows00:03
sharperguymaco, yeah it's just ubuntu at the moment so i'll try the resold.conf00:03
amoskI try to install system by pxe+kickstart00:03
axi've seen in some ubuntu guides that evolution has a 'google' calendar type, but my install of it doesn't, and i cannot seem to find the plugin for it.. anyone know what i need to do?  I'm on ubuntu 10.400:04
macosharperguy: resolv, not resold00:04
famicube64for xp dns, you go into network connections, right-click the connections you use and click properties00:04
amoskand I want put kickstart to cdrom1, iso to cdrom200:04
famicube64all the stuff will be there00:04
sharperguymaco, yeah sorry typo00:04
airtonixax, it's not a plugin00:04
PeterNLSeveas: I set it to run every minute, and it gives us the fake error, but nothing else00:04
amoskI try to install system by pxe+kickstart,and I want put kickstart to cdrom1, iso to cdrom2.  How to write the kernel commandline, ks=cdrom?... ?00:04
hamedhi00:04
axairtonix: so, how do i get google calendar types when i add a calendar?00:04
sharperguymaco, can i add additional name servers by just appending it with a space?00:04
macosharperguy: one per line00:05
macosharperguy: nameserver a.b.c.d00:05
amoskmaco: I try to install system by pxe+kickstart,and I want put kickstart to cdrom1, iso to cdrom2.  How to write the kernel commandline, ks=cdrom?...00:05
airtonixax, when you do not mention the version of ubuntu you are using it is assumed you are using the latest which is 10.04... the default version of evolution with 10.04 has the ability to add google calendars00:05
Seveassharperguy, also, no more than 3. glibc won't look any further00:05
macoamosk: i dont know00:05
amoskmaco: oh, thanks00:05
axairtonix: i did mention that i am using 10.4, but yeah, i'm using 10.4 and i don't have the 'google' entry in the calendar type selections00:06
sharperguymaco, Seveas ok thanks. opendns gives you two i think00:06
mbroekersharperguy, download firmware, reset router, install firmware, disable upnp, setup connection settings inside router. done. More problems? windows will be responsible :)00:06
sharperguymbroeker, heh thanks. Well I dont own the router but I'll get onto the owner about it.00:07
axairtonix: new calendar -> type = [CalDav, On this computer, on the web, weather] only00:07

cromagshould be able to provide those info i believe.00:12
sharperguycromag, oh yeah thanks00:12
sharperguycromag, it did use opendns00:13

X65seidos, I looked in gconf all i see is the xf8600:16
X65seidos, where is the section to change it?00:16
LinuxGuy2009I hope this isnt offtopic but what branch of Debian is lucids packages based on since its an LTS release?00:17
seidosX65: i can't recall.  i haven't messed with that in awhile.  in fact, i might be wrong.  ignore me or search google.  it's your call.00:18
gartralX65:00:18
jribLinuxGuy2009: unstable as always00:18
gartralX65: no :\00:18
eriksson25Oki, I have strugeling with my server for two days. got several stupid errors. But it alls comes down to that if grub points on uuid it dosent work. gives error waiting for root disk. When I set fstab and grub to boot /dev/sda1 it works. I can mount. But the problem is that this only works when I dont have my storage disks in becouse when I plug them in my system disk change /dev/xxx every reboot.00:19
LinuxGuy2009jrib: Ok I figured that, just wondered if they switched to testing for the LTS releases. Thanks.00:19
eriksson25And seting it to corect uuid it says uuid=xxx dosent exist after a long error.00:19
jriberiksson25: make uuid work, that's the solution00:19

mlourencocan anyone help fixing my wireless? I tried all the guide already.00:41
jribmlourenco: you need to ask an actual question with details00:41
dan86last questoin, i promise: i've heard some people mention a partition for /home or something like that? what does that mean, and do i need it?00:42
KabelGuyIf you plan on trying new distros it would be a good idea.00:42
dan86no00:42
dan86so it's basically your files00:42
dan86as opposed to system files?00:42
jribdan86: it's useful to have /home on it's own partition because all user data is kept in /home.  So if something goes bonkers or you want to try a new distro, you can install again and have all your data and user settings in place00:42
Adrienkangry00:43
dan86i get it, like /system and /data in android00:43
dougb_freebsddan86: yes, think of /home as sort of like "My Documents" in windows (plus other things)00:43
extraclassicjrib: if you create a /home partition, then reinstall afterwards does it recognize your /home partition or will you end up with 2 home folders00:43
KabelGuySo yea.. I have been running Ubuntu for a while, and thought I would give the Netbook remix a try...00:43
jribextraclassic: you can choose at install time00:44

Omen_20jrib apps sometimes have glitches and if you get stuck in full screen all youve got is a hard reset. Nothing to get you out of that single program.00:46
jribOmen_20: ctrl-alt-f1 then use kill or pkill, but usually if you can run a command, xkill is a lot nicer.00:47
jrib!sysrq | Omen_2000:47

gasullMuelli: thanks, but I'm not sure what I need to do.  Does this mean that /etc/init.d/ aren't started, or that old Sys V and Upstart coexist?01:09
KabelGuy:O01:09
KabelGuyPrices have dropped that low?01:09
Muelligasull: it means that you need to configure upstart to actually start your services01:10

litatacosdan86 on your taskbar click system then administration then synaptic package manager. type jdk in the search bar and check off openjdk-6, then hit apply on the top of the window.01:54

chalcednyjust curious.. after i do sudo update && upgrade.. the Update Manager pops right back up, still wanting updates.. why?01:55
Guest98549ok. I need help ASAP, I just installed RGBA support and had compiz running, then I tried to start tremulous. The GUI locks up. I logon to my terminal and kill the process, but the system is still locked up. What do i do now. I am on irssi01:55
axisysthere might be a gnome-cleanup equivalent in ubuntu ?!01:55
dan86litatacos thanks01:55
dan86installing now =)01:55
ZykoticK9chalcedny, Update Manager uses the equivilant of "sudo dist-upgrade" (or similar) vs just "sudo apt-get upgrade" that doesn't install new packages...01:56
melkordan86: don't install openjdk01:56

reflexwolfI was wondering if someone could help with a problem I'm having installing 10.04, it gets past the first screen then hangs on me... it wont even let me boot off the CD02:16
litatacosgah!!! lame i forgot where my home is :P02:16
pufflitatacos: it's not clear, to me, what the actual problem is in your case.   If this is a brand new install on this laptop, and you have some odd chipset, you may indeed need proprietary drivers, in which case you'll have to find a machine with a functioning internet connection, download them, and sneakernet them onto your machine.02:17
Brandon_Reflexwolf I think you have the same prob i have =(02:17
=== Viper is now known as Out`Of`Control
CkhiKuzadlitatacos. its /home/yourname or if you are in a terminal, you can easily get there by typing 'cd ~'02:17

reflexwolfdid you get them to send you a CD Brandon_ ?02:19
pufflitatacos: My brother's dell, for example, had that problem.  In his case, it was only a problem with the wireless, so I plugged into a wired connection, and used System/Hardware Drivers to fetch and install the necessary proprietary driver for his laptop.02:19
Brandon_No i burnt them myself, a few. and tried usb02:19
w0_howdy, trying to use weechat in a terminal window in ubuntu 1.04.  looks/werks great .. tho I need to use F10 & F11 to scroll the user list, the problem is that ubuntu's terminal window already use F10 and F11 .. what/how should I do?02:19
litatacospuff i cant wired wont work :(02:20
pufflitatacos: I have to go now, but if somebody else can help you, I suggest you first start off by explaining what hardware you have (brand, model, possibly chipset) and what version of ubuntu you have installed, and whether this is a fresh install, or an upgrade, or what.02:20
litatacosthats how i usully do it. this stupid ubuntu studio has me beat lol02:20

ownerThanks zykotick902:21
litatacostnx puff mucho gracias02:21

Brandon_Im downloading damn small linux to test, what prgram can put a .iso on a usb?02:22
litatacosi have the comp im on now using wireless so it works02:22
CkhiKuzadBrandon_ you can use Unetbootin02:22
reflexwolfbrandon thats more then my whole months bandwith :(02:22
CkhiKuzadbut if you have ubuntu, you can use the USB creator.02:22
litatacosthe card works when i hd windows on it02:22
litatacosive narrowed it down to me breaking it with ubuntu studio lol02:23
Brandon_ubuntu wont work and nobody wants to help, and reflex how do you live?!!?02:23
CkhiKuzadBrandon_, its under System>Administration>USB Startup Disk Creator02:23
pufflitatacos: There are two sets of shell commands for activating/deactivating your network interfaces.  "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" and "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down" are one set.02:23
pufflitatacos: "sudo ifup wlan0" and "sudo ifdown wlan0" are another set.02:23
litatacosahah!!! tnx ill try tht too02:23
itsux2buvbox has the lamest support for usb devices i've ever seen..02:23
LintWadQuestion: Each time I boot up it seems wireless is disabled. I can easily enable it each time, but it's getting a tad annoying. Any idea how to fix this?02:23
pufflitatacos: The gotcha is, the two sets use DIFFERENT lock files.02:23
Brandon_on windows?02:23
ZykoticK9itsux2bu, you are using the version from Oracle and not from the default ubuntu repo right?02:24
litatacoslol argh!!02:24
LintWadIf directed towards me, on Ubuntu.02:24
reflexwolfbrandon as best I can, till I move and can get more than ATT to get brodband to my home02:24
CkhiKuzadBrandon_, if you are on windows, use Unetbootin, the startup disk creator doesnt exist on windows.02:24
pufflitatacos: So you can get confused if you use, for example, "sudo ifdown wlan0" and then later try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", and ifconfig tells you wlan0 is *already* up.02:24
itsux2buthe way vbox handles usb devices alone is reason enough never use vbox02:24
litatacosi gotcha puff ill keep  log its just easier02:24
ZykoticK9!ot | itsux2bu02:25
ubottuitsux2bu: #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!02:25
itsux2buoops.. wrong channel.. thot i was in vbox02:25
pufflitatacos: Either one, however, will automatically invoke dhclient when it brings a network interface up.02:25
pufflitatacos: So basically, first you turn the hardware on, then you use dhclient to broadcast a DHCP request, and then you wait for the router to send a DHCP response assigning you an address.02:26

muellidan86: You are very welcome to ask :-) Let me try. But it's kinda dangerous. So do you mind me asking *why* you want your windows partition to be mounted in first place?04:10

zeknoxfililoco_: have you updated the system?  sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ?04:46

dan86What media server app do you guys use in ubuntu, the only thing i need is it to be running in the background all the time and to simply share two folders from external hard drive04:48
FlynsarmyAre AMD or NVidia graphics better on ubuntu atm?04:48

jjgalvez__is there any trick to editing the default note template? I would like a blank one rather then the current default04:49
zeknoxdan86: might be interesting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer04:49
Josesordozeknox: still the desktop cube move slow, and another slow effects :(04:49
dan86i tried ps3 media server04:50
dan86and added it to startup list04:50
zeknoxand...? you didn't tell us that04:50
zeknoxdan86: so whats the problem?04:50
FlynsarmyAre AMD or NVidia drivers better on ubuntu atm?04:50
dan86but when i booted it only showed "/"04:50
dan86as folder04:50
dan86i love that program, use it on MAC and PC04:50
zeknoxFlynsarmy: its a matter of prefrence04:50
zeknoxJosesordo: did you look under system -> admin -> hardware drivers?04:51
Josesordozeknox: what means this in dmesg? --> [drm] Resetting GPU, [drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs04:51
zeknoxJosesordo: sounds like driver issue, or video card issue, it shouldn't be reseting I don't think, could be wrong04:51
Flynsarmyzeknox: are there any real differences? Do they both perform well? Will i get 3D on both for compiz? are the best AMD ones open source or proprietry?04:51
fililoco_im gonna reset and chek if tracy web works04:51
dan86zeknox basically i can't get ps3 media server to function correctly as a startup app so that it's always on.  if i had my choice i would use it04:51
zeknoxFlynsarmy: as long as you get a decent video card with sufficient memroy and cpu, you can have the cube and many annimations04:52
zeknoxdan86: so what is the question?  I thought you wanted to know a linux media server?04:52
Flynsarmyzeknox: there were massive amd issues like 1 or 2 distros back on AMD cards. are htey solved now?04:52
tracy69Flynsarmy,  i have ati hd4850 and it work perfect04:52
Josesordozekox: this work fine without the ATI drives from Hardware drives menu..but lets try04:52
soreauFlynsarmy: open radeon drivers IMHO04:53
zeknoxJosesordo: if there are other drivers, it probably would be best to try them04:53
dan86zeknox, i would prefer to get ps3 media server functioning correctly04:53
zeknoxJosesordo: the best video drivers are not installed by default IMO04:53
Josesordozeknox: yesterday, worked fine.. grr.. but well,04:53
zeknoxdan86: what is the problem with Ps3MediaServer, i don't understand the actual problem at hand04:53
latagoreCan I ask a question or would it be better for the conversation to finish first =o04:54
zeknoxlatagore: ask away!04:54
Flynsarmysoreau: the open radeon drivers support 3D for desktop zoom and window nimations on open/close and twinview? that's all i'm really after04:54
cedriczglatagore, just ask04:54
latagoreI can't seem to get to the login screen on Ubuntu04:54
latagoreIt just freezes04:54
bahaaI want to join #math in xchat, how?04:54
JosesordoSomeone know how I add the Connection Tray Icon again? I deleted by accident now T_T04:54
zeknoxlatagore: delete you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart gdm04:55
zeknoxJosesordo: there is a way in gnome to reset all your visuals to default...04:55
cedriczgbahaa, ho to server, join channel04:55
zeknoxJosesordo: hang on, file in your home directory04:55
pfglatagore: remove quiet from your bootup line and see what message it ends on04:55
soreauFlynsarmy: Twinview is an nvidia-specific technology. The open radeon drivers support xrandr 1.2 which is how you manipulate your monitors and modes04:55
zeknoxJosesordo: this is what you want I think http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/04:55
cedriczglatagore, which ubuntu version are you using?04:55
soreauFlynsarmy: and yes, it can do all the compiz features you listed and more04:56
kiamoHi, ubuntu update has been regularly failing for the last week or so.  It seems to freeze and do nothing no matter how long I leave it for, and I have to do a forced restart and then partial upgrade.  Has anyone else been having this problem recently?04:56
Josesordozeknox: hang on?.. I cancell the Driver download or not?04:56
zeknoxJosesordo: let the install finish04:56
Flynsarmysoreau: perfect. xrandr supports swithcing in and out of dual monitors without an x restart correct?04:56
zeknoxJosesordo: only 1 task at a time04:56
latagoreI'm not sure what GDM is but apparently the file doesn't exist04:56
zeknoxkiamo: no04:56
bahaaJosesordo: left click on the upper panel and chose add to panel then add a notification area04:56
soreauFlynsarmy: yes04:56
zeknoxlatagore: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart04:56
bahaacedriczg: can you tell me how step by step?04:57
latagoreAnd how do you handle answering everyone's questions lol04:57
treeshoeI am new to Ubuntu as a graphical OS. When I minimize windows they seem to disappear04:57
pfglatagore: Gnome Desktop Manager04:57
soreauFlynsarmy: The proprietary nvidia driver is the only driver I know of that can run compiz but doesn't support xrandr 1.204:57
treeshoeHow do I get them to show like at the bottom of the screen04:57
zeknoxtreeshoe: this is what you want to do here:  http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/04:57
bahaacedriczg, like I type "/server" what if I don't know the server name?04:57
zeknoxtreeshoe: then restart gmd using sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart04:57
bahaacedriczg, it's in freenode04:57
cedriczgbahaa, I am using xchat in spanish. I suppose in english you have on the menu "server" and then a submenu called "join channel"04:58
Flynsarmysoreau: excellent. thanks for the info04:58
latagoreNo such file or directory; I'm running the recovery boot.04:58
CkhiKuzadD: i must go.04:58
CkhiKuzadgoodbye #ubuntu04:58
latagoreGood bye =o04:58
bahaacedriczg, you are right :)!04:58
bahaacedriczg, I'll try it04:58
pfgtreeshoe: right click your bottom toolbar - add to toolbar - window list04:58
cedriczgbahaa, then with command I think it is /join #channelname04:58
Josesordozeknox: ok, driver installed, now I need to restart the PC04:58
zeknoxJosesordo: restarting the pc will work, or possibly just restarting gdm04:58
treeshoegreat .. it worked. Thank you pfg04:59
FlynsarmyIs there any solution for hte insane memory leak in gnome-power-manager? leaks 4kb/second. eats up the ram fast04:59
zeknoxFlynsarmy: uninstall it04:59
pfgtreeshoe: NP, been there before ; )04:59
cedriczgbahaa, you can also have a list of the available channels with "list of channels"04:59
kiamozeknox, any idea how I can troubleshoot this?04:59
bahaacedriczg, I want to join this : http://freenode-math.yourwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page04:59
latagorezeknox: I'm in recovery boot mode thingie, if that explains why the file you listed doesn't exist04:59
Flynsarmyzek0r: ahh...it sounds kind of important lol04:59
zeknoxkiamo: specify the issue exactly05:00
Flynsarmyzek0r: and interestly, every time you install updates the update manager starts it up again05:00
zeknoxlatagore: just reboot into normal mode now then05:00
Flynsarmyzek0r: sorry those were meant for zeknox05:01

mroiler_I need help setting up my dlink DBT-120 bluetooth dongle05:02
latagorezeknox: I can see the users listed now but it's frozen again05:02
cedriczgbahaa, you can go to the freenode tab and type "/join #math"05:02
zeknoxlatagore: did you install any additional themes for the bootup screen?05:02
cedriczgbahaa, or use the "server" button on the menu, then "join channel" button and then type "#math" as channel05:03
latagoreI don't believe so05:03
zeknoxlatagore: or logon screen rather05:03
bahaaI found this on the node page :  #math :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services05:03
kiamozeknox, Often when I install new apps from the software centre the installation fails to complete.  When this happens via the command line, it seems to halt during the unpacking phase of the installation.05:03
latagoreThis is my first time booting up05:03
bahaacedriczg, it seems they don't allow anybody to join right?05:03
zeknoxkiamo: using apt-get ?05:03
cedriczgbahaa, I joined and then went out from that channel05:03

latagoresoreau: could you explain what a live cd is? I installed Ubuntu with a USB installer using an ISO from the homepage05:45
sacarlsonundifined: I don't know how I've only seen that there is a method to add to the command line that makes all extensions turn off to test it.05:45
html5!livecd | latagore05:45
ubottulatagore: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option.05:45

latagoresoreau: Uh, I can only give you what I know, which might not be a lot; AMD Neo Athlon K125 (1.7 GHz, 512 mb L2 Cache (I think), 1 GB RAM, Radeon HD 4225, 250 gb HDD, 10.1" screen06:02
Junior49MIJust thought I wold share the news..06:02
latagoresoreau: if you need any more information, you can ask; just listed off the top of my head06:02
undifinedcongrats Junior49MI06:03
soreaulatagore: Hmm.. should be ok I think. Have you tried any different version of ubuntu to boot from?06:03
latagoresoreau: I have not06:03
ubuntu_ansicHow to develop a software like EVA ?06:03
latagoresoreau: Being a noob sucks :D06:04
ovrflw0xi installed hd 3470 driver from ati website and driver is not working well, in menus sometimes i have to move my mouse over to see what's in the menu, and i see black window instead of the actual window i have to hover my mouse over to see it, what settings should i change?06:04
Junior49MIA stable version of the driver was published actually yesterday, and is availble at Sourceforge, now they list it as a Kodak 5500 printer driver, but it works on the 3500 - print only no scan, but hey this is open-source and if WikiLeaks can get government secrets, I figure someone will eventually get source code from Kodak. LOL06:04
sacarlsonovrflw0x: I guess you can disable the propriatary drivers to at least get it working as good as before.06:05
Excell-Homeanybody able to help with a webcam that is installed but shows no image06:05
soreaulatagore: Well I'd be interested to know why it freezes on the boot. How long did you wait?06:05

ovrflw0xsacarlson, where can i get opensource driver?06:07
latagoreGood day Junior06:07
dejnoihe he eh06:07
soreaulatagore: Right, it should not do that06:07
sacarlsonovrflw0x: just delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot should do it.  maybe just rename it so you can go back.06:07
whosjoseExcell-Home: try installing Cheese Webcam06:07
sailerboyfacebook.com is down fyi06:08
whosjosen o way06:08
soreaulatagore: Perhaps you can try booting with nomodeset as a kernel parameter in the live menu by pressing Esc as soon as it boots06:08
html5whosjose: the first camera looks like it doesn't work with the kernel, but you could try Cheese Webcam as whosjose suggests06:08
Excell-Homei have that it shows the device video0 and video1 but its just a blank screen06:08
sailerboyhttp://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/facebook.com06:08
ovrflw0xsacarlson, opensource driver doesn't allow me to control "brightness" by "Fn" keys06:08
html5Excell-Home: does the picture mode work on it?06:09
latagoresoreau: I don't know how to do that =(06:09
soreaulatagore: You know when the thing starts booting from usb, then press esc button on your keyboard06:09
latagoresoreau: K06:09
soreaulatagore: It should enter into a list with some options06:09
sacarlsonovrflw0x: well your choice.  if you can put up with the problems you have now and still have brightness control.  can't that be changed in the monitor?06:09
Excell-Homeno picture just a grey screen06:09
ovrflw0xsacarlson, what do you mean? i have laptop not monitor06:10
sacarlsonovrflw0x: ok then no brightness control.06:10

html5Excell-Home: you are using the software package Cheese Webcam?06:10
soreaulatagore: You did something wrong...06:11
sacarlsonovrflw0x:  did you try looking for your hardware info in google for people with the same problem?06:11
Excell-Homecheese webcam booth06:11
soreaulatagore: Just press esc one time, then hit esc then select english and then hit e for edit06:11
Excell-Homealso there is no light on the web cam06:11
ovrflw0xsacarlson, i searched but couldn't find06:12
Excell-Homesorry i lie the green light is on06:12
soreaulatagore: Somewhere in there you can find the boot options and enable nomodeset06:12
latagoresoreau: It's at the menu with "Run from this CD, Install to hard disk...", is it not?06:12
sacarlsonovrflw0x: do you know how to get your hardware info of your graphic card?  lshw  or lspci.  if no other people have your problem maybe try create a new account and login to that see if your problem persists06:12
whosjoseExcell-home: So there's a green light but no picture?06:13
Excell-Homecorrect06:13
soreaulatagore: No it should say 'Try Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer' and 'Install Ubuntu'06:13
html5Excell-Home: if you have video0, the kernel is detecting it, if you have a green light on the camera, the camera is working, that would leave the software not working; maybe find different software to try the webcam with06:14
i0nicAnyone familiar with setting up gnome terminal to name the tab after the server I am currently on?06:14
latagoresoreau: I was approximating what it was saying; It says exactly: "Run Ubuntu from this USB, Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk....."06:14

i0nicdr0id firefox sucks use links06:32
latagoresoreau told me to put nomodeset radeon.modeset=0 as boot parameters06:32
=== diva is now known as zerobinary
lellethats why google made their own browser instead of "using" firefox06:32
dr0idi0nic: links? never heard of it :P06:32

i0nicdr0id, links --help06:32

latagoreGnea: another user told me to add boot parameters to boot ubuntu06:33
Gnealatagore: are you able to get to the menu selection when grub boots?06:33
latagoreGnea: Yes06:34
Gnealatagore: okay, then you should be able to get to edit the selection with the 'e' keypress06:34
latagoreGnea: I'm just lost how to do what the other user told me06:35
m00ti0nic: you have forgot to mention lynx w3c curl wget....06:35
Gnealatagore: I didn't see what it was...06:35
Gneam00t: he's gone.06:35
latagoreGnea: He told me to use parameters "nomodeset radeon.modeset=0"06:35
soreaulatagore: end of the kernel line06:35
latagoresoreau: thanks06:35
latagoreSoreau: wait06:35
soreaulatagore: At the end of the kernel line, like 'kernel blah blah ... ro quiet splash radeon.modeset=0'06:36
m00tGnea: oh my..... :)06:36
Gnealatagore: okay, so when you go to 'e'dit the selection, just go to the line that starts with 'kernel' and go to the very end of it, and add those parameters06:36
latagoresoreau: If you mean literally "kernel" then there is no line with kernel06:36
Gnealatagore: there is always a line that starts with the word 'kernel'06:37
IdleOnelatagore: add it right after the line that has splash in it06:37

m00tlatgore: vmlinuz...06:37
soreaulatagore: You can't boot without a kernel image of some kind. It doesn't have to be called kernel, the distro can call it anything. Something vmlinuz06:37
latagoreAlright, I just had no idea what it's called; I'm kind of noob at this ;-;06:38
latagoreas in really flipping noob06:38
mneptoklatagore: everyone is at some point.06:38
Gnealatagore: unless you're using grub2...06:38
Jordan_UGnea: With grub2 "linux" is used rather than "kernel".06:38
Gnealatagore: then it might start with 'linux'06:38
GneaJordan_U: :)06:38
soreauJordan_U: thanks06:39
Jordan_Usoreau: You're welcome.06:39
soreaulatagore: See Jordan_U's comment above06:39

Microman171Just wondering, can I use a DVD as the installer for Ubuntu 10.04 64bit?06:41
soreaulatagore: Now, when you do this, it will only last until next time you reboot. There are ways to make it 'stick' but this is not a real solution so you should install a newer kernel and userspace to avoid the problem06:41
GneaMicroman171: I do believe so06:41
Microman171Gnea: Thanks mate06:41
latagoreGnea, soreau, Jordan_U: Thank you for your help. It's been pretty difficult figuring out how to do this, being lost and all. Not sure this is the end of my problems in which case I'll visit the channel again. I have to go from lack of sleep. Bye, and thanks again!06:41
GneaMicroman171: they make a DVD image06:41
Jordan_UMicroman171: Yes, there are DVD images which include extra packages and alternate install options, and you can also use the standard CD image on a DVD.06:41
dr0idthanks guys, problem was FIREFOX :P06:42

jca1981Hi everyone when using grub2 how do i specify my root like "linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/linux-root ro"06:42
Microman171Jordan_U: So it's a special image?  Not just the basic one from the site?06:42
soreaulatagore: If all else fails, get the maverick release in October!06:42
Microman171I'll hunt around for a DVD version06:42
dr0idI have another question, I installed kubuntu back in may, it worked good for about 3 months since then it's not working good, for example when I delete some file it takes more than a min to delete it, why so ?06:42

whosjosedr0id: some files are larger then others, thus making it longer to delete/move/copy/etc06:44

dr0idJordan_U: ^^06:46
whosjosedr0id: the time's good i believe06:47
soreaulatagore: user interface? You mean login screen?06:47
latagoresoreau: Sorry about that; yes06:47
m00tdr0id: it means that you should backup your partition, then format with ext4 then restore the ackup06:47
latagoresoreau: I'm not sure if removing nautilus could have been a problem*06:47
Jordan_Udr0id: Ok, it doesn't sound like you actually have a lot of IO currently that would make things run slowly. Is it only "deleting" files that takes a long time or is it other things as well. (I put deleting in quotes because it sounds like it's moving files to the trash that's taking a long time, for whatever reason).06:48
soreaulatagore: Can you switch to tty with Ctrl+Alt+F2 then login and run 'sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz' then go back with Ctrl+Alt+F7 and try again?06:48
dr0idJordan_U: the slow issue is fixed( about which I was talking few minsa ago) firefox was taking up memory, I fixed it06:48
dr0idthe issue now is related to deletion of files to trash06:48
dr0idwhich has been happening since last few weeks06:48
dr0idwhen I delete a file, it takes lot of time, more than 1-2 mins06:49
latagoresoreau: I believe my computer is screwed over again :] I have a black screen from hitting ctrl alt f206:49
m00tdr0id: is it size dependent?06:49
dr0idnot at all06:49

DaveSiberiaHi, have a problem with lucid, it stops the boot with message - ubuntu using low res mode, it wants me to manually configure graphics, but then will not let me.07:20
sacarlsonasdf_baron: seems you protocal work you an login to facebook so the only think I can think of is that it fails to dns lookup some sites07:20
asdf_baronso how do I setup bind907:21
asdf_baronjust install it?07:21
sacarlsonasdf_baron: oh another way to test without bind9 is try change /etc/resolv.conf to a opendns address07:21
sacarlsonasdf_baron: lets try opendns first07:21
jinvinyou may try with 8.8.8.807:21
jinvingoogle's open dns07:21
asdf_baroncool.07:22
jinvinor 8.8.4.4 works better than the opendns07:22
asdf_baronbut right now my nameserver is 192.168.1.1 aka my router07:22
asdf_baronis that right?07:22
jinvinyes07:22
jinvinexactly07:22
asdf_baronso. should 8.8.4.4 work regardless?07:23
sacarlsonasdf_baron: yes that would be correct but we will change it to 208.67.222.22207:23
asdf_baronnow that I've edited resolv.conf do i need to restart any services07:23
sacarlsonasdf_baron: I got that from http://www.opendns.com/07:23
asdf_baronsacarlson: solid.  Now that it's edited, what's the next step?07:24
sacarlsonasdf_baron: well you can test it with dig yahoo.com07:24
m00tasdf_baron: It is not a dns issue. Change the mtu on the eth interface to a lower value.07:24
sacarlsonasdf_baron: to verify it now uses the new dns server by default07:25
asdf_baronm00t: How do I change the mtu value?07:25
asdf_baronand sacarlson, yaho.com works with the new dns, but gmail still doesn't07:25
m00twith ifconfig07:25
asdf_barondoes it matter that it's wlan and not eth?07:26

asdf_baronafter lowering my mtu (can't say that this is what solved it, gmail seems to be working.07:31
sacarlsonasdf_baron: cool07:31
intraNutlelle: press the tab twice07:31
asdf_baroncould also just be a fluke07:31
sacarlsonasdf_baron: what do you use wifi?07:31
asdf_baronyup07:31
lelleintraNut: thanks but how to grep them ?07:31
asdf_baronbut I've had the same problem on ethernet07:31
sacarlsonasdf_baron: oh but you never tested the dns first07:31
sacarlsonasdf_baron:  so change that back to verify07:32
asdf_baronright.07:32
m00tasdf_baron the problem is your isp or your router which filters icmp packets07:32
asdf_baronprobly my isp07:32
asdf_baronwhat are icmp packets?07:32
m00tControl messages07:32
sacarlsonm00t: isn't icmp only for ping echo?07:33
asdf_baronalso, I changed my mtu to 1000.  What value would you suggest07:33
deathanatossacarlson: No, it has other functionality.07:33
m00tSome icmps can be harmful some are used in pfull07:33
m00tICMP ECHO and ICMP ECHO REPLY are only two types07:34
George_eI'm having trouble getting a DisplayLink monitor to work with Ubuntu - when I load the displaylink module, X11 crashes.07:34
George_e^--- segmentation fault07:35
sacarlsonm00t: deathanatos: cool case closed. so what is the default value then mine seems set at 1500.07:35
m00tasdf_baron http://www.dslreports.com/faq/579307:35
asdf_baroncheers07:35
nisstyre65George_e: make sure you have the latest version of the module?07:36
nisstyre65report it as a bug if it's the latest07:36
sacarlsonm00t: is that mtu  I think it's set by the dhcp sever?07:36
George_enisstyre65: I compiled it from scratch.07:36
George_enisstyre65: Still nothing.07:36
nisstyre65George_e: was there a special make command the README file said to use or something?07:36
m00tNope it is the default for ethernet07:36
nisstyre65segfault means it tried to access some part of memory it wasn't allowed07:37
m00t1500 is the maximum frame size07:37
George_enisstyre65: I know. I'm a programmer :) There was no README in the archive I downloaded.07:37
nisstyre65ok, I'd report it then07:37
George_enisstyre65: Where... Launchpad?07:38
George_enisstyre65: or somewhere else?07:38
nisstyre65where did you get it from?07:38
m00tJumbo frames can be higher. Those are for 1g and 10g ethernet07:38
asdf_baronThanks alot for your help guys07:38
George_enisstyre65: http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/displaylink-mod07:39
deathanatosStill seems like a mighty kludge of a solution.07:39
nisstyre65George_e: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/07:41
George_eThanks.07:41
itsux2bui'm curious.. i've seen some *nix versions of popular windows 3rd-party apps.. like Audicity (whatever its called) and VLC..  does anyone know the developers keep separate sets of code for windows vs *nix.. or there 'compilers' where you write it once and it produces executables for both?  does this question make sense?07:42
itsux2bu*know if the developers07:42
George_eitsux2bu: Ya, developers use cross-platform frameworks like wxWidgetd ant Qt to write the code.07:42
nisstyre65itsux2bu: first of all, I think those were originall Unix utilities, secondly, the parts of the code that use the C/C++ "Standard Library" are portable07:42
George_eitsux2bu: *wxWidgets07:43
nisstyre65parts that rely on other programs that are Unix or windows only aren't07:43
nisstyre65also what George_e said07:44
George_eitsux2bu: Audacity was written in wxWidgets - all that is necessary is to compile it on the platofrm of choice and the conditional #define's take care of the rest.07:44
itsux2bunisstyre65, sry.. my bad.. coming from windows world i assumed they were windows first.. sry07:44
George_eThat's okay.07:44
George_e:)07:44
deathanatositsux2bu: Somebody wrote a chunk of code known as a "library" that basically smooths out the differences between the two operating systems, and allows a developer to write one set of code that compiles on two operating systems.07:44
deathanatosSometimes you have to smooth out a few more wrinkles yourself, but libraries such as wxWidgets and Qt are two that allow a coder to do cross-platform GUI stuff.07:45
m00tAdd tk too07:46
deathanatostk, Gtk+, the list goes on...07:46
nogienugzhi, has anybody tried using winetricks in installing IE? i'm having problems with it..07:46
itsux2buthx all.. deathanatos, i have heard of 'cross compliers'.. didn't know if that term was for consumers apps or just for big companies like intel/microsoft/apple.. and was more CPU 'cross compilers'07:47
scottf2nogienugz: try this buddy - http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-run-microsoft-internet-explorer-7-6-55-51-in-linux/07:47
deathanatosA cross compiler is a compiler that lives on one type of machine, but compiles for another. I might run, in Linux, a compiler that compiles for a calculator.07:47
nisstyre65Can you even compile a binary that will run on two different CPUs?07:47
thisGuyDudehow do you install a .sh file07:48
nisstyre65thisGuyDude: you don't, run it by doing ./somefile.sh07:48
deathanatosnisstyre65: Yes- Apple did this with "Universal binaries" - they ran on both a PPC and Intel's x8607:48
scottf2thisGuyDude: chmod a+x filename.sh07:48
nisstyre65deathanatos: amazing07:48
scottf2then, as nisstrye65 said, ./filename.sh07:48
deathanatosTypically, you need some sort of support or help from the OS to get this to work, but it is certainly possible.07:49
itsux2bunisstyre65, exactly.. so cross compilers applies to both hardware.. (CPU's) and software apps too..07:49
scottf2sorry, chmod a-x*07:49
itsux2buright?07:49
nisstyre65itsux2bu: I don't know if the same term applies to both07:49
itsux2buok.. so concepts are similar.. whatever the terms used..07:50
nisstyre65yeah07:50
deathanatosA cross compiler typically compiles for either a different architecture (a different chip) than the one it is running on, and/or a different operating system. A compiler running on Linux on an Intel compiling for Windows on an Intel (same chip, different OS) can be considered a cross compiler07:50
el_seanois there a way to get Ubuntu to automatically unmount removable media when I eject it from the hardware?07:51
deathanatosIt's mostly a loose idea that "this compiler doesn't compile for the thing that is running it"07:51
Phr3ak_hi07:51
nogienugzscottf2, i've tried that already, and then, tried winetricks too, but i cant' get it to work. I've installed version 1.3 of wine already.. but, no success.07:52
scottf2nogienugz: can you describe the errors you're having?07:52
Simone_good morning07:53
nogienugzwait, i've posted in a thread in ubuntu forums. lemme get the link.07:53

nogienugzscottf2, i also included some snapshots of that error..07:56
Simone_Oscillocam: can u please tell me how, or link me a guide ?07:56
oscillocamyou could install grub to both devices but not md007:56
sargiz-Emjayhii07:57
Simone_Look, i don't know what md0 is07:57
oscillocamthat's ur raid1 device07:57
Simone_I'm installing the last vesion of ubunt in a nvidia raid07:57
Simone_The installation goes crrectly, but the boot wont works07:58
oscillocamaahh yeah, nvida raids dont work well07:58
oscillocamu should turn off hdwr raid and use linux software raid07:58
Simone_mmmmmmmmmm07:59
Simone_there is a strange behaviour of ubuntu: even if I disable the raid in bios, I'm not able to install ubunut on a single disk08:00
oscillocamsounds like a bigger problem of hdwr support08:00
itsux2buwhats an incremental search  or  incremental backup?08:01
oscillocamany way to try a different comp08:01

Jordan_USimone_: Ubuntu detects Fake RAID and refuses to install to it (as writing to an array that it doesn't understand could lead to severe data loss). If you use the "nodmraid" option this check will be disabled.08:03
nogienugzscottf2, were you able to open the link? i'm alrealdy wondering that the error is really with wine...08:04
oscillocamitsux2bu: usually means to include files changed since last incremental bkup.08:05
Jordan_USimone_: Or, if it does understand the RAID metadata it will assemble it and try to install to it as an array. "nodmraid" will also stop this.08:05
marcello#ubuntu-it08:05
whosjose[busy]Goodnight all08:05
scottf2nogiengz: yes, however I am not sure what the issue might be - installing a VM is probably the best option I would say....08:06
marcellowhat comand for enter in irc ubuntu italia?08:06
Flannelmarcello: /join #ubuntu-it08:06
whosjose[busy]'/join #ubuntu-it08:06
oscillocam'nite all...08:06
nogienugzscottf2,, i see.. what app for VM would you recommend?08:07
Simone_Jordan_U: the point is: now I have ubuntu installed in mirror, but if I want to work with it, I've to disablethe array and go with only one disk. I hink that if I would be able to set up gru on the otherdisk everithingwill be ok08:08
nogienugzscottf2, I mean, there are several VM available out there, base on the what you've tried which one would you recommend?, this will be my first time to try it....08:09
scottf2I would recommend VirtualBox - free, and supports almost everything!08:09
nogienugzok, i'll give that one a try. tnx!08:09
scottf2no problem! :)08:10

hoarehi guys.08:11
smartnaijahello house I NEED HELP PLEASEE08:12
hoarehow can I 'dim' display after some seconds without mouse movement.08:12
hoaresmartnaija: just write your question.08:12
Simone_Jordan_U: It sems that  Ubuntu orrectly is installed on both dsks (mirror) butgrub is configred badly. So if I beak the array and go with the onlydisk configured .. g08:12
itsux2buseems like backup management is an art into itself..08:12
el_seanohoare: I believe that's under System->Preferences->Power Management08:12
smartnaijaMessed up with my GRUB2  and all files are missing cannot boot08:12
Simone_Jordan_U:  Is it more clear now ?08:12
Jordan_USimone_: Could you describe the symptoms you are seeing?08:13
hoareel_seano: I do not want screen to be black, I want it to decrase brightness.08:13
Jordan_Usmartnaija: What did you do exactly?08:13
hoareel_seano: oh here it is thanks08:13
Simone_Jordan_U:  Simply after install, I  reboot but the system wont boot. It does only if I disable the raid from Bios.08:14
el_seanohoare: :D08:14
hoareel_seano: it is written very small :P08:15
hoareabhinav_singh: oh I follow your blog. it is nice to see you here, nice coincidence.08:15
smartnaijaJordan_U: can't remember exactly08:15
hoareabhinav_singh: I'm a fan of your blog.08:15
Jordan_USimone_: Is there a reason that you want to use Fake RAID rather than regular software RAID?08:15
smartnaijabut all i could say is that i was on ubuntu environment trying to update08:15
Simone_No08:16
Simone_So tell me what I have to do08:16
Simone_I've burnd the alernate version of the last ubuntu08:16
DocPlatypusokay, really vexing problem here. /home keeps getting renamed to /home.1 and I'd like to know why and most importantly how to stop it?08:16
el_seanoDocPlatypus: Renamed on reboot?08:17
DocPlatypusel_seano: no, in mid-login08:17
Simone_And I'm going to reinstall08:17
smartnaijaJordan_U: and then a menu pop up asking to update replace grub and mistakely i clicked "yes"08:17
DocPlatypusall of a sudden Firefox quits accepting search queries, and all sorts of bizarre things08:17
el_seanoDocPlatypus: huh.  Is your home folder on a partition defined in /etc/fstab?08:17
DocPlatypusel_seano: /home is under /. I have just / and swap08:17
smartnaijaJordan_U: and after work, I shut down and WOAH...(grub rescue>) shows up08:17
DocPlatypusI'm not sure if it's the kernel doing it or some other program somewhere. but it's getting old08:18
smartnaijaJordan_U: so i was able to get it back to (grub>) but all files in /boot/grub are missing and some files in /boot are missing too08:18

Jordan_USimone_: Then I would recommend disabling Fake RAID in the BIOS and use mdraid instead. If the installer still see the Fake RAID then press F6 at the boot menu and select "nodmraid".08:20

scottf2recovered?08:24
Jordan_USimone_: You might also have to use the nodmraid option from the boot menu.08:24
dr0idscottf2: so I think you can also tell me that when I delete a file, why does it takes 1-2 mins to get deleted?08:24
dr0idyes recovered08:24
DeathShotyo here is a legit question, is ubuntu for powerPC macs stable?08:24
scottf2dr0id: I am not sure about this - how large is the file? Is your system low on resources?08:24
dr0idlol, it's using 7% no :P08:24

spyketomatoIt's as if the hard drive is not mounting?08:25
scottf2Maybe try a restart :) I ahve to go now, but will be back later08:25
scottf2best of luck08:25
dr0idscottf2: no08:26
dreamtravelerum sorry i did a /ame08:26
dr0idrestart also doesn't works08:26
dreamtravelermera = good morning in short08:26
spyketomatoit boots into BusyBox built-in shell08:26
DeathShotok so no one here wants to talk :(08:26
smartnaijai have located a /boot on my  e: drive08:27
Jordan_USimone_: dmraid is the software that works with Fake RAID (because it's not truly hardware RAID at all, you still need to do all the work in software). Disabling dmraid with the nodmraid option will make sure that the installer doesn't try to install as if Fake RAID were enabled in the BIOS.08:27
smartnaijawhat sould i do next to restore my grub208:28
Simone_Jordan_U : very thanks!08:28
Jordan_USimone_: You're welcome.08:28
DrManhattanwhy do you say its fake raid? the drives show up as raid devices in the OS08:28
Jordan_UDrManhattan: No, they don't. The OS sees individual drives, and assembles the array itself.08:29
DrManhattannot here on an ich10r it doesn't08:29
Jordan_UDrManhattan: Then you don't have Fake RAID :)08:29

ikonianukme: but if you do xhost on the client that you're connected to the "broken" server on, does it work ?08:45
sacarlsonajdrapper: my guess you need flash or java or codec try install extras https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats08:46

spyketomatoMy lucid laptop (not netbook edition) has, for no reason that I can see, booted into  initramfs and I don't know what to do?  I have so much important data on this laptop and i'm afraid that it's all possibly gone? I received no error messages at my last session, that I know of.08:46
ikonianukme: it looks like X is broke some how on that server that question is how to take it fofrward08:46
nukmeyeah08:46
ajdrapperS4ry: We both have flash and I think java08:46
nukmewhat do i need to install a full x server?08:47
ikonianukme: is there any chance you can actually start an X environmnet on that server ?08:47
sudobatajdrapper, I'm trying on windows and it keeps saying me "Install WMP11 plugin08:47
Simone_Jordan_U : the system now works perfect!!!!!!08:47
ikonianukme: the X server is broken down into multiple components, there isn't such a thing as a "full" xserver these days08:47
nukmethe startx orxtart says that theres no display available...cause its not recognizing the graphics adapter08:47
nukme(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.08:48
nukmeFatal server error:08:48
nukmeno screens found08:48
ikonianukme: that's not a concern (unless you want to configure it to test it)08:48
S4rySo , as sudobat said .. i guess it's missing a plugin for the browser ajdrapper08:48
ajdrappersudobat: humm do not understand that, but I believe it is a wms file format.08:48
nukmebut for x11 forwarding theres no need to start the xserver on the server/remote host08:48
sudobatyes, that website seems to need some integration with WMP1108:49
bcbc2spyketomato: what kernel?08:49
sudobatyour sister knows about spotify08:49
sudobat?08:49
sacarlsonajdrapper: that site works for me with just extras installed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats08:49
ikonianukme: correct, I was just suggesting testing it to make sure you had the X11 components you need08:49
bcbc2spyketomato: -24?08:49
pLrajdrapper, in the source of the page you gave, u can find 'mms://www.wretchedmedia.com:81/live stream' try to use this link in vlc or your media player of choice08:49
spyketomatobcbc2 - dunno, the latest i suppse08:49
nukmethe point is that the variables are not set automatically, but whats in charge for doing that08:49
spyketomatobc08:49

spyketomatobcbc2: just updated the other day08:50
pLrajdrapper, this page tries to embed windows media player & activex controls which fails08:50
bcbc2spyketomato: try the -23, I've seen some posts on problems with -24 and initramfs08:50
sacarlsonpLr: it is working for me ajdrappers site.08:50
pLrsacarlson, which plugin are you using08:51
spyketomatobcbc2: seen any solutions? ;)08:51
itsux2bugedit  Almost  has the windows keystroke interface.. in windows Alt F brings up the File Menu.. gedit does that too.. but in windows i can press ALT, let go of ALT, press F and get the File Menu.. in gedit it makes you Hold Alt & F to get the file menu..08:51
sacarlsonpLr: I'm not sure what plugins but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats is all that is installed08:51
bcbc2spyketomato: no - other than to use a previous kernel. I suppose you could try reinstalling the -24 but I haven't seen anyone do that.08:52
pLrsacarlson, thx ill tell ppl simply that next time :p08:52

CorpusCallosumhi i have a problem about network-manager i guess, if a command ifconfig -a i can see the wlan0 interface, but it seems disabled. i cannot enabble. ifconfig wlan0 up command gives an "no such file directory" output. i tried to add related lines to network/interface file annd still no succes. any idea ?08:56
spyketomatobcbc2: you KNOW you're now my best friend, right? :)08:56
bcbc2spyketomato: haha sure until something else goes wrong ;)08:56
itsux2budoes grub (boot manager, right?) always install?08:56
spyketomatobcbc2: of course =)08:56
pfgCorpusCallosum: right click the network manager symbol on your toolbar and see if it is enabled there08:56
itsux2bu!grub08:57
ubottugrub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.08:57
CorpusCallosumpfg, yes yes enable i checked that first :)08:57
itsux2bu!grub208:57
ubottuGRUB2 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/Grub208:57
bcbc2spyketomato: ps uninstall the -24 kernel or else you'll have to override grub each time08:57
bcbc2spyketomato: or set the default to -23 using startup-manager or something similar08:58
sacarlsonCorpusCallosum: you want a static wlan0?  wicd is the manager that seems to work better for me with wifi08:58

pfgCorpusCallosum: what does your interfaces file say ? sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces08:58
pLrsacarlson, network-manager is great08:58
CorpusCallosumsacarlson, no i want dhcp, like normal.08:58
itsux2bupfg.. gksudo08:58
itsux2bu!gksudo08:59
ubottuIf you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)08:59
sacarlsonCorpusCallosum: if you want to play on the command line with wlan0 you might want to disable network-manager first.  it seems to try to keep things it's way08:59
CorpusCallosumpfg /etc/network/interface said only auto lo, but after that i added smilar lines for the eth0 and wlan008:59
pfgitsux2bu: Im asuing he has a GUI , gksudo is not needed or he can use nano :D08:59
ajdrappersacarlson: I have run the two terminal commands and the site is still not working. Do I need other codecs? any idea what?09:00
pLrCorpusCallosum, you should choose to have a gui setup (network-manager) or txt setup (/etc/network)09:00
itsux2buisn't gedit a graphical editor?09:00
S4ryitsux2bu, it is09:00
sacarlsonajdrapper: what two terminal commands?09:00
pfgitsux2bu: yes, but if he can see a network manager symbol on his tool bar he has a GUI09:00
itsux2bu[03:58] <pfg> CorpusCallosum: what does your interfaces file say ? sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces  <<-- should be   gksudo gedit...09:01
CorpusCallosumpLr, my choice is gui, but it seems not working, then i try to find out something different like /network/interface09:01
ajdrappersacarlson: from the page about Restricted formats09:01
itsux2bu!gksudo09:01
pfgitsux2bu: why ?09:01
sacarlsonajdrapper: there is just one you would have needed depending on what you are running.  for ubuntu desktop 10.04 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras09:01
pLrCorpusCallosum, then you should remove what you added to /etc/network/interfaces and work with the networking icon to add a profile09:02
CorpusCallosumitsux2bu, pfg auto lo,iface lo inet loopback,auto eth0,iface eth0 inet dhcp,auto wlan0, iface wlan0 inet dhcp09:02
pLrajdrapper, it is likely a firefox plugin by vlc or mplayer doing this09:02
itsux2buusing just  sudo  in a the graphical desktop is dangerous09:02
CorpusCallosumpLr, i also tried to remove that file and restart the service again but not working09:02
pLrajdrapper, look for that if you want the integration09:02
ajdrappersacarlson terminal reports that restricted-extras is already the newest version. but reched radio is still not playing.09:03
itsux2bu!gksudo09:03
pLrpLr,  do not remove the file, you should put it back with its default contents and restart the service again09:03
nmvictorhow do i start compiz fusion?09:03

sacarlsonajdrapper: did you close and reopen all browsers first?09:03
ajdrapperYes.09:03
pfgCorpusCallosum: if using gui/network manager auto lo # iface lo inet loopback  # auto eth0 #=space09:03

I can't find any symlinks in the rc directories, and all I've found online about the "new init" just tells you how to start and stop manually, not how it's determined if ssh will be brought up automagically on reboot... Any pointers would be most welcome :-)09:35

PanicCan anyone suggest another place where I might find an answer to my question? (Still the "how does ubuntu server 10.04 lts determine whether ssh shall start during boot") I really need to make sure it does before I reboot my *remote* server.09:45

pLrPanic, /etc/rc* still exists09:45
junkbot[desktop]mickster04: http://pastebin.com/ZunpxANK09:45
acidflashPanic: rcconf man, it normally determines it in update-rc.d, but use rcconf its easier.. and make sure its configged properly09:45
nsaror to stop asking keyring password at all09:46
acidflashPanic: if its not configured properly, it wont start during boot... if its a clean insteall of Ubuntu 10.04 and you selected OpenSSH-Server from list, it will boot normally.09:46
PanicSure it does. But I'm affraid of adding ssh to defaults there, in case that f**ks up another way of starting ssh. (Which seems to be the case, since there are no links in rc*)09:46
pLrPanic, i would suggest editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config before your reboot09:46
PanicAll that is done :-)09:46
pLrPanic, and testing it09:47
PanicThe ssh server is restarted also. No sweat. Now all I have to do is *MAKE SURE* it will be brought up when I reboot.09:47
cteja_cteja hai09:47
acidflashPanic: use rcconf, its a good program09:47
PanicI just trusting that "it will be" is not an option :-)09:47
Panick, will look into that.09:48
pfgnsar: if only, mv ~/.gnome2/keyrings default.keyring file somewhere else, then create a new key09:48
acidflashPanic: i have installed ubuntu 10.04 with openssh-server around 30 times this week, they all reboot fine when installed from cd09:48
mickster04junkbot[desktop]: sounds like the libraries are duff09:48
pLrrcconf is deprecated09:49
pLrits results are not accurate09:49
Panicacidflash: Good for you :-) This install has been done by a hosting company in Panama, and I'm in Norway. That is half way around the globe, and they make you pay 'till your eyes bleed if they have to help you. So excuse me for wanting to (as I've said a couple of times now) *MAKE SURE* before I rebut the server :-)09:50
Junkbotmickster04: anything i could do to fix it?09:50
mickster04Junkbot: i dunno, it's beyond me, short of rewriting it....09:50
pLrPanic, the install of openssh-server would be unsuccessful for u to have a prob09:51
pLrPanic, /etc/init/ssh.conf has information you might be seeking09:52

PanicSo init in 10.04 is the "new init" ("upstart"), and it uses /etc/init/*, and since the file ssh is there, all is well as long as that config file says "start on filesystem" (or whatever)?09:58

dewalxeviox: yes11:18
dewalxeviox: and what is your question11:19
mickster04Vukode: well if you've only just installed it have you rebooted it? and you may have to do that a couple of times before it is completely up to date11:19
xevioxdewal: what I don't understand is: there are people out there that upload illegal content to newsserver (for free) and then there are providers like usenext that enables other people (who pay a lot of money) to download that content11:19

krosonUsagi: just burn your ubuntu iso to a CD and then boot from it and erase the entire disk to install ubuntu :)12:01

krosonmaybe in your browser transfers folder12:02

Usagihttp://wubi-installer.org/12:03
krosonah, i dont remember if you need the iso for wubi, but i thought yes12:03
krosonany way, you need the LiveCD ISO to install ubuntu like you said, erasing windows from your system12:03
Usagiright I have all my pictures and junk backed up12:04
krosonso go to www.ubuntu.com and download the 64-bit version if your processor can handle it12:04

krosonyes12:06

jrib[KS]: k12:06
[KS]but echo `date +%d%m%Y` > /root/cron.log does not12:06
lvh`hey12:06
krosonUsagi: dont care about that, it is perfectly usable and stable like the 32-bit12:07
lvh`is there a way to find ppa's that carry a particular package12:07
[KS]what am I missing?12:07
krosonactually, there is a "bug" reported for that12:07
lvh`the bzr-fastimport package in lucid is broken, trunk fixed it12:07
jpdsUsagi: You can use 32-bit flash in 64-bit Ubuntu; it works just fine.12:07

Usagiso all the older "32 bit" apps work fine?12:07

lvh`erUSUL: No; I already found that as well; I just find it very hard to believe there's only one ppa that carries that package, since it's basically been broken since forever12:10
lvh`erUSUL: And by forever I mean "since 2009", and by broken I mean "can't export and then import the same branch"12:11

IzinucsKingsy: first rule of thumb.. if it's in the repos always get it from there.. just because there is a newer version out there doesn't mean it's better.. that being said.. newer versions of lots of stuff is available in the PPA's when can be added to the package manager and then installed with Synaptic or apt-get/aptitude.  Installing something that you downloaded .. well that depends on what form it's in.. a binary tar, source code, .deb etc12:22

jrib`marianne`: you should use apt-get clean or autoclean instead12:34
skumaraIzinucs, enzotib at the end of the line there is broken packages. is it causing the problem?! how to check and remove broken packages?12:35
`marianne`jrib, oh? do they do anything different/better?12:35
jrib`marianne`: read the man page12:35
Izinucsskumara: try a full package update first.  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. then sudo apt-get -f install .. that might fix some package manager issues12:35
`marianne`looks like apt-get clean does pretty much the same as i was doing, but at least it's a shorter command hehe12:37
IzinucsKingsy: You'll find that once you start getting use to linux you can do so much more... easier..12:37

Kingsyreally basic things.. which is annoying.. hehe12:39

KingsyDr_Willis - its there? ok hold on let me see if I can find it in there (for future reference so I know how to find other apps)12:42
Dr_WillisHeTaL:  then the installer should of walked you through repartioning.resizeing the hard drive.12:42
KingsyIzinucs - ^^^ sorry that message was meant for you12:42

IzinucsDr_Willis: sounds like HeTaL did a wubi install12:43

Dr_WillisI really hate wubi...12:43
omniusG'day Everyone12:44
IzinucsKingsy: there are several vnc-ish programs to choose from.. doesn't always have to be tightvnc12:44
IzinucsDr_Willis: I'll second that12:44
HeTaLIzinucs: Dr_Willis It showed me the option to partition manually, but whn I've installed ubuntu before, it used to allow me to use a user-friendly slider to partition.12:44
HeTaLSorry to leave that out.12:44
KingsyIzinucs - ok I see it.. so do I have to install that via synaptic cos thats where I found it? or can I use apt-get?12:44
HeTaLMeh, I never used wubi. Great gateway into linux for new people though.12:45
=== Tiders- is now known as Tiders
IzinucsKingsy: either.. they both make calls to dpkg ..12:45
Dr_WillisHeTaL:  i tend to partition befor i even start the installer. and use a seperate hard drive.. sounds like you just got confused in the install/partion manager  - It should be installed to a parittion somewhere if you booted the cd.12:45
morningsunshinehave a question on vpn setup on ubuntu 1012:45
zzzedHeTaL, did you use the live cd or the alternate install cd?12:46
HeTaLDr_Willis: It can do partitions for you. There used to be a way that you just allocated enough memory, and it would do it for you. Right now you have to setup your own swap, home, boot spaces.12:46

jxajro_Saudações a todos! Por favor, alguém conhece uma tela inicial do ubunto 9..4 que oferece opções de carregamento como Generic,  Recover, Generi (2) e outras assim?????12:47
Dr_WillisHeTaL:  you can select automatic, and it will resize and make a / and swap - i recall.   Or you can do it manual how you like.12:47

zzzedHeTaL, well the alternate cd is not as "friendly" and doesn't do as much for you automagically12:48
Dr_WillisHeTaL:  i have also used windows to resize the windows HD leavbing part of the HD Unallocated.. anbd teh installer sees/uses that12:48
HeTaLDr_Willis: I don't see an automatic option :P12:48

HeTaLIt was a small problem that's irking me. Chances are I'm going to remove windows, and just drop gentoo on it and use it as a headless server.12:49
KingsyIzinucs - ok, so I have installed tightvncserver now.. it seemed to install just fine but now what? I cant see it in the menu, which means I am stuck.. see on windows (sorry to mention heh) I would go into program files to check what has been installed (make a shortcut to the exe file etc) and then run the application from there.. what would I do here?12:49
morningsunshinecan anyone help12:49
IzinucsKingsy: what's your goal with vnc? do you want to use another machine and log into your ubuntu box?12:50
sam_sam1 m using PPPOE, due to some problem i cant connect using the networking icon, i can connect using only 'pon' when i click on networking icon i see 'device not managed'12:50

KingsyIzinucs - then you set it to run on startup and it sits in the tray12:53
morningsunshineok zzzed12:53
IzinucsKingsy: ok.. well you installed tightvncserver which is used for others to log into the ubuntu box and use it... personally I'd give the built in program a try first.. Applications>Internet>Remote Desktop viewer or Terminal Server Client.. Terminal Server Client I believe does the vnc protocol..12:53
morningsunshinebeen trying it out for last few days but no soln12:53
=== Guest29041 is now known as rileyp
KingsyIzinucs - ok I will do BUT, I kinda still wanna know whats going on here, I have installed this server.. where has it gone? how I run it?12:55

skumaracan i delete my source list and create new source list?12:55
Dr_Willisskumara:  i would move it/rename it.12:55
IzinucsKingsy: not all programs/packages are gui based.. the vncserver package you installed probably isn't12:55
KingsyIzinucs - yea I will check it out..12:55
Dr_Willisskumara:  most new sources should be put in files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/12:56
KingsyIzinucs - ah right.. so how would I check if its running?12:56
Kingsyusing a cmd or something?12:56
the_dark_warrioIs it possible to disable the F1 shortcut from launching the help?12:56
IzinucsKingsy: from a terminal ... pidof tightvncserver12:56
Kingsyah ok.. yea it isnt running12:57
IzinucsKingsy: or if you have the "system monitor" running in a task bar you could look there.12:57
skumaraDr_Willis, after mv source list, how to create new source list?12:58
KingsyIzinucs - hmm I don't get this app.. nevermind12:58
Kingsyits going weird things.. hehe12:59
philinuxmorningsunshine: trying what out?12:59
IzinucsKingsy: which one?12:59
Dr_Willisskumara:  its a text file... use a text editor12:59
KingsyIzinucs - tightvnc (I know you said to use the ubuntu one) and I will I am just messing around12:59
IzinucsKingsy: k13:00
Kingsyeverytime I run it, it says.. New X desktop is "blah:blah"13:00
KingsyIzinucs - and I get the ubuntu startup noise13:00
Kingsybut then when I do pidof tightvncserver it returns nothing13:01
IzinucsKingsy: :) ... X is the underlying system that all your graphic stuff sits on top of.. without it you wouldn't be able to see anything on the screen13:01
Dr_WillisKingsy:  you checked the logs in .vnc ?13:01
morningsunshinephilinux trying to connect vpn13:01
KingsyDr_Willis - no, it said it printed something out in there tho13:01
philinuxmorningsunshine: cant help with that sorry.13:02
morningsunshineI've imported .pcf file. The new vpn conn appears in the VPN Connections option. Now when I select it, it doesn't connect. Nothing happens.13:02
linuxmachineWhat parameters/options should I give to apt-get in order to get it to download ALL the dependencies of a given packet (not just the dependencies missing in my system but ALL of them, regardless of whether or not they are already installed in my system)? Moreover, if it could be configured so that it gets not only the 1st level deps but also all the deps up to the 3rd level or so all the better it would be13:02
IzinucsKingsy: the blah:blah part is what might be interesting.. what did it say?13:02
morningsunshinephilinux np Thnx13:02
erUSULlinuxmachine: what are you trying to do ?13:02
erUSULlinuxmachine: build the package ? apt-get build-dep13:03
KingsyIzinucs - it was the name of my pc.. ermm Mexico:Linux (which is what I called it)13:03
Kingsyhehe and no my computer isnt in mexico :P13:03
linuxmachineerUSUL: I don't want the dependencies needed for compilation, but just the dependencies needed for installation13:03
Kingsyscrew it I have removed it anyways13:03
IzinucsKingsy: the reason I ask is you can have multiple X session on the same computer at the same time.. you can log in remotely with ssh and run X and a full desktop off your machine from across the world without using vnc at all. :)13:04
SkyNetMasterhi, how can I get from command line which version of ubuntu it is? for ex. lucid or karmic13:05
linuxmachineerUSUL: if you go to packages.ubuntu.com, and select a packet, there all the dependencies for that packet are stated, I want apt-get to download all of those dependencies for me, without getting involved in whether or not they are installed in my system. So one thing that I would probably have to do is that of finding a way to make apt-get not care about what's installed in my system13:05
KingsyIzinucs - that sounds really cool man!13:06
KingsyDr_Willis - did you find that ubuntu book?13:06
Dr_WillisKingsy:  i pasted a url to the review13:06

kokozedmanhey guys... anyone with some advanced TCP knowledge? i have some question about the behavior of a data transfer14:02
kokozedmani'm having a 3 Mbps modem... but getting about 330 KB/s max... my transfers are behaving a little odd14:03
sexybotownerHey guys, anyone knows what it means when I get the very specific message "Error establishing a database connection" whenever i try to open a page that uses MySql database ?14:03
pickettsounds like the speed youd expect14:03
Naznazsexybotowner, that is probably a problem on server-site?14:03
kokozedmanit goes 330 for about 30 seconds... then it goes down to 0... then there is peak of 630 KB/s at my level... then back to 0... after a few seconds it crawls back up14:03

erUSULmae_tae: i asked if you already did change the hostname. becouse if you did it wrong you can couse the error you are seeing14:05
kokozedmani have been modifying the Tcp settings at the /proc/sys/net/... on both ends... but i just can't get rid of that going down to 0 sometimes14:06
csabaDr_Willis: I've copied it to ~/.fonts and it still won't appear in OpenOffice... maybe it's ~/.fontconfig ?14:06

(without changing the actual datetime clock)14:36
linuckscoz_: it greys out the primary gwibber window's input text box.14:36

jribSkyNetMaster: are you using ubuntu?15:06
SkyNetMasterjrib, yes 10.0415:07
coz_linucks,   I would stick around and ask again   include that screenshot or make one with just gwibber15:07

I installed vsftpd and created a user and gave it permissions to access those files. However, when I create a new folder through ftp on that account it doesn't give any group or user permissions. Is there a way to change that so I don't have to change it each time?16:54

sacarlsonvolume: virtualbox has options at start the defaults to the needed settings for the planed operating system install.  ntfs would be what it would probly pick for you.18:15
volumesacarlson - I'm sorry. My bad. Never mind Virtual Box. I'm in gParted right now trying to figure out how I should format my drive to install ubuntu. I know that I will want to create another partition to run windows in Virtual Box. You can do that right? Create a real, physical, partition and use it in virtual box?18:15
jk_volume, if your host is ubuntu, use ext4. vbox's VM will create its own virtual drive and when you install Win7 on it, Win7 will format that one to ntfs.18:15
rockhopperpo1ter, does downthemall have multiple connections per file?18:15
po1terrockhopper, yep18:15

ChogyDanpushpop: you may have to remount it with a umask instead18:16

pushpopChogyDan can you be more specific im kind of new to linux18:17
ilovefairuzadminewb: the machines should have the router IP as their DNS server NOT the gateway IP (check in /etc/resolv.conf)18:17
deathanatosabys: If you don't have the public key of the machine that you're connecting to, it will send it. Most SSH clients will tell you when this happens, as when it does, you should verify the key manually.18:17

sticky_dschuett, you could probably get away with dnsmasq then18:34
ilovefairuzadminewb: if your DNS server is accessible from the machines (try pinging its IP), just add it to /etc/resolv.conf18:34

sacarlsonCorniMac: or maybe sudo apt-get install grub218:59
CorniMacsacarlson: grub-install -v gives me 1.98-etc, doesn't that mean I already have grub2?18:59
sacarlsonCorniMac: yes it does18:59
earthling_janisozaur, hmm recommended but not needed to run a program?18:59

earthling_on that note, is there a "system restore" type function if I install a program that messes up my ubuntu?19:04
ChogyDanlegino: sorry mate, Im just looking for typos or something.  I don't know.  apt-cache policy says it is available, yet aptget install can't find it?  Doesn't make sense19:04
CorniMacsacarlson: the startupmanager one doesn't work. It can't find a package with that name19:04
janisozaurearthling_: it's just a frontend to a backend "apt" package manager (system). in other words - no, it won't, unless something explicitly uses aptitude (nothing should)19:04

mad_aya^mNotIntelligent: proper being? I have "Guest access" in the 'Share' tab19:30
erUSULkalle_: "sudo apt-get clean" removes them19:30
kalle_ok thank ;=)19:30

mad_aya^mNotIntelligent: if I unshare and reshare (without manual chmod), nautilus asks me if I want it to add permisisons read, execute to 'others', I say yes, it doesn't add them...19:36
^mNotIntelligentmad_aya, is it ...19:36
^mNotIntelligentmad_aya, so the permission string remains as the last one rw-------, right ?19:37

erUSULmad_aya: ntfs and vfat do not support unix permisions so  faked permissions are created when you mount the filesystem according to mount options19:42
mad_aya^mNotIntelligent: where can I find out if I have "ntfs-3g for mounting windows partitions and mounted with the rw permissions ?"19:42
erUSULmad_aya: change those mount options19:43
^mNotIntelligentmad_aya, just open your /etc/fstab and see if all your windows partitions are mounted with proper(i.e read/write) permissiions19:43
erUSUL!ntfs | mad_aya19:43
ubottumad_aya: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE19:43

The video card has DisplayLink, HDMI, and DVI outputs, but the motherboard has none. I've heard about problems with HDMI; could thi19:53

karmic-koalahi all any ideas what ports should i leave open on me local firewall so i can connect to my computer from outside using built in desktop viewer app, not ssh but using vnc20:02
sjmkarmic-koala, better (more secure) to tunnel it through ssh (search: ssvnc)20:03
sjmkarmic-koala, or, if you are connecting from another linux box, just use x-forwarding across ssh.20:04
karmic-koalasjm,  thanks but i am already using a secure vpn, this vpn is necessary to get an ip on the same subdomain and only my clients on same subdomain are allowed to connect to my pc20:04
=== fourdfourm is now known as |4d4m
sjmkarmic-koala, if you're already connected with a vpn, you should just be able to connect across that.20:05

macoolI would like to install Linux on my phone.. :S..20:07
karmic-koalasjm, yes, both remote client and desktop to which access is required are ubuntu20:07
sjmkarmic-koala, It should just be 5900 by default, I think.  check what port it's listening on with "netstat -neap"20:07
|4d4mQuestion: Does anyone have a good document on migrating all the settings from my old Bind server to the new one I built? Is it as moving all the zone files and the config file?20:07

PhoenixzQuestion.. When sudo apt-get install php5-dev, I see this: php5-dev: Conflicts: libtool (>= 2.2) but 2.2.6a-4 is to be installed.. This is probably because my php is from an external repository (dotdeb.org). If I understand the error correctly, it needs libtool to be 2.2 or higher, but 2.2.6 is going to be installed.. so, what is the problem? 2,2.6 is newer than 2.2, not?20:35
azjoso how do i see what is using so much ram?20:35
sjmwasutton3, if it's the first time you're copying the data, cp is just a bit faster than rsync.20:35

Badbucksfan614zvacet, thank you..  i did pound through that last nite..  disabled error is an odd one20:42
azjoi did use unetbootin to make a live disk.20:42
sjmazjo, What line are you looking at?  VIRT, SWAP, or RES?20:42
azjobut it works completely as a live cd20:42
Piciflowbee: Yes, but instead of the brute force protection that it suggests, I'd install fail2ban instead.20:43
PhoenixzHow can I force the installation of a package?20:43
Phoenixzusing apt-get20:43
azjosjm: VIRT actually20:43
flowbeePici, i already did those two lines and installed fail2ban as well.  should i go undo those iptables thing?  if so how?20:43
sjmazjo, look at the RES.20:43
kenjitsuthat sucks =((( but if install xubuntu based on 10.04 (now run 8.04 but it is old and in newer versions is  more rulez =)) sory for my bad english )20:43
azjoi realized that now hehe20:43
Piciflowbee: remove them from /etc/rc.local20:44
Arrickanyone here using the newest ubuntu server on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, and if so, did you have to modify the resolution like you had to with the 9th version?20:44
sjmkenjitsu, LXDE is lighter than xfce.20:44
azjoempathy and firefox are using 73 and 55mb20:44
flowbeePici, i.e. remove "  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE"20:44
flowbeePici, because i already ran the command "iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set --name SSH"20:44
azjoi cant say how all those can explain a 1.2gb ram use20:44
iTrollCmdr_W_T_Riker; thanks20:45
Piciflowbee: Did you put 'iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set --name SSH' and the 2 following lines in /etc/rc.local as well?20:45
zvacetazjo:  look https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent20:45
flowbeePici, no i jsut ran those commands on the command line20:45
kenjitsulxde better than xfce?20:45
DGMurdockIIIlxde is way better20:46
i_is_brokekenjitsu, i think so, but depends on what you want to do with it also.20:46
sjmazjo, to see "real" RAM usage use the command "free" and look at the "used" column on the "-/+ buffers/cache" line20:46
zvacetkenjitsu: lighter I don´t know about better it depends on you20:46
Piciflowbee: I don't recall how to delete those rules off the top of my head, but a reboot (which you need to do anyway) will clear them.20:46
sjmzvacet, kenjitsu, twm is lighter yet, but not many would call it better.20:47
flowbeePici, so to be clear; i should leave the line: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE to my /etc/rc.local ?20:47
Piciflowbee: yes. Leave that in there.20:47

zvacetsjm : I tried lxde and it is O.K. maybe enlightenment as one more option  :)20:48
flowbeePici, ok i'm gonna reboot now;  in the meantime; do i need to set up port forwarding for my router so i can connect to this newly setup vnc server?20:48
azjoat mem it says 2gb total and 1.3gb used though? why?20:48
sjmflowbee, use the "-R" switch to remove a rule.20:48
i_is_brokekenjitsu, i think that lxde has more eye candy then xfce and easier to use...20:48
Piciflowbee: Yes, you'll need to setup port forwarding on the router that your server is behind.20:49
help`how to change word begin to while using sed? i try: sed -n /begin/while/ <filename> didn't work20:49
flowbeePici, i assume that port 5900 is the default vnc port?20:50
i_is_brokekenjitsu, but running a quad core and a 4 gig of ram, i dont have to much trouble running anything.20:50
sjmazjo, because as someone explained above, unused RAM is wasted RAM (why do you have it?)  If it's not needed by programs it's used as cache and buffer space.20:50
delacit seems Network Manager (or modemmanager) will set my Huawei E1552 into permanent state of NO CARRIER after two manual disconnects. At least I cant seem to find any way to bring it back to life (except replugging the stick) .20:50
azjobut it says 348mb is used?20:50
Adaszi can't connect to my wlan station, the pw is correct but if i want to connect i must wait 30sec and then i must type the pw again20:50
sjmazjo, on that line, it is the amount used by the programs without the buffers/cache.20:50
Piciflowbee: yes.20:51
i_is_brokekenjitsu,  plus the memory usage is low with lxde as it is with xfce.20:51
azjoor do i not understand the difference from mem: and -/+ buffers cache?20:51
flowbeePici, ok i set up port forwarding from port 5900 to go to that box.... now i wanna connect to the vnc server i setup... so i do that network connections thing... 1) what is my gateway?  2) what is my nt domain?20:51

ehambergChogyDan: gvimdiff? :)20:53
Badbucksfan614I think i may need to install ndiswrap20:53
sjmazjo, on the mem line, subtract the "buffers" and "cached" columns from the "used" column and you should have the actual program memory usage (which is on the second line)20:53

trippsdajhorn, wow that didn't work very well. switching back crashed X22:13
trippsdajhorn, also nothing on F822:13
Martiinialright, you crazy people .. I go browse google for a backup script ..22:13
Azjoilovefairuz: eth0 can ping google.com22:14
erUSULMartiini: the ubottu links did not help ?22:14
ilovefairuzAzjo: and you can't browse the web?22:14

D3XifierShort Questions: i'm running Ubuntu on a 4gb usb stick as a permanent installation and have around 200mb left. and i have a second stick, where i want to install my applications and games to. how can i do that?22:15
Rummageilovefairuz: Same error.22:15
KingSetaAnbody has an idea why i cant use my mic with julius??? http://pastebin.com/upccFaSE22:16
ilovefairuzRummage: are you sure the path to the image is correct?22:16
CoaxVexD3Xifier, you can manually mount it after boot, no?22:16
neodemii just accidently deleted a load of files in rhythmbox, is it possible to restore them from the bin back into their original folders without moving the individual files by hand?22:17
ScraggyD3Xifier: Suggest you have USB2 mounted in /mnt/<somewhere>, and create soft links from /usr/local/...22:17
Azjoilovefairuz: have you checked out the hardware settings etc for wlan0? http://pastebin.com/FWmrmxHm22:17
Rummageilovefairuz: Half the time I'm not sure if I'm in the right directory. I seem to have a lot of directory problems period. I added quotation marks around the paths in that same command and my new error is that ~/avistore/music/01_overworld.avi doesn't exist.22:17
D3XifierCoaxVex: Well, i'm kinda new to Ubuntu/Linux in general. I plug it in and it mounts itself22:17
CoaxVexneodemi, no... had that once myself. You can try importing again22:17
ilovefairuzRummage: copy all the files to the same directory and don't use any paths, just filenames22:18
dajhorntripps: Sorry,  I meant put the second X server on F8 when you get the desired configuration.  Ubuntu puts the default X server on F7.22:18
CoaxVexD3Xifier, well you'll have to edit /etc/fstab and mount it later22:18
CoaxVexD3Xifier, how much room you got left on your stick?22:18
ilovefairuzAzjo: yes, looking22:18
CoaxVexD3Xifier, you really need to use another stick?22:18
Azjoilovefairuz: great, take your time :)22:18

RummageI think the phone this one's destined for was 176x144 so I'll go with that.22:23
CoaxVexD3Xifier, well you need to mount your new stick, move your stuff onto it, and then edit /etc/fstab to have it automatically mount somewhere22:23
D3XifierCoaxVex: However, the Space on the bootdevice is magically disappearing until i only have around 200 mb left. My second Stick isnt flagged as Bootable, so i'm using it as a storage.22:23
