[00:00] sharperguy, it's rare but can happen [00:00] no prob. [00:00] sharperguy: there are router exploits, yes. you should always keep your router updated with the latest firmware [00:00] hmm ok [00:00] <[KS]> if router is running windows, possibility even higher :) === Guest50782 is now known as froggyman [00:00] good. i wish it was that but no. it seems lag problem [00:00] Either the router is infected or al the computers in the house have the same malware [00:00] including this ubuntu one [00:00] all the rest are xp [00:00] Seveas: "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 :( [00:01] ubuntu; infected ....hmmmmm [00:01] anyone from canada here [00:01] PeterNL, then I have no idea :) [00:01] sharperguy: cross-platform malware isnt unheard-of, but... last one i heard of was an OpenOffice.org macro virus [00:01] yup [00:01] hmmm... [00:02] maco... sorry to interrupt, i only joined a few min. ago.... what is th problem here? [00:02] maco, 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] Seveas: I should test the logging by creating a error somehow. to trigger stderr and see if it works... [00:02] sharperguy: yes of course [00:02] hmm I just can't see how to do it [00:02] PeterNL, echo >&2 "This is an error" [00:02] But i suppose it just works, but gconftool-2 just sin't verbose enough [00:02] sharperguy: you can change your router to not push DNS settings while still using DHCP, i believe [00:03] hello all [00:03] hi [00:03] sharperguy: you can also just set a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf after connecting to force your DNS on the host [00:03] maco, Yeah I don't have control over the router so i was going to do it locally [00:03] sharperguy: i dont know enough about xp to tell you where to set DNS settings on there [00:03] now wait another 1:20... [00:03] sharperguy: for that youd try ##windows [00:03] maco, yeah it's just ubuntu at the moment so i'll try the resold.conf [00:03] I try to install system by pxe+kickstart [00:04] i'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 10.4 [00:04] sharperguy: resolv, not resold [00:04] for xp dns, you go into network connections, right-click the connections you use and click properties [00:04] and I want put kickstart to cdrom1, iso to cdrom2 [00:04] all the stuff will be there [00:04] maco, yeah sorry typo [00:04] ax, it's not a plugin [00:04] Seveas: I set it to run every minute, and it gives us the fake error, but nothing else [00:04] 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?... ? [00:04] hi [00:04] airtonix: so, how do i get google calendar types when i add a calendar? [00:04] maco, can i add additional name servers by just appending it with a space? [00:05] sharperguy: one per line [00:05] sharperguy: nameserver a.b.c.d [00:05] maco: 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] ax, 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 calendars [00:05] sharperguy, also, no more than 3. glibc won't look any further [00:05] amosk: i dont know [00:05] maco: oh, thanks [00:06] airtonix: 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 selections [00:06] maco, Seveas ok thanks. opendns gives you two i think [00:06] sharperguy, download firmware, reset router, install firmware, disable upnp, setup connection settings inside router. done. More problems? windows will be responsible :) [00:07] mbroeker, heh thanks. Well I dont own the router but I'll get onto the owner about it.

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.

I have used xbindkeys to specify a different command looked in gconf-editor, been googling with no success I know the command works ive used it manually something is obviously hard-wired to 7db [00:37] hi, is there any documentation on the different kernel flavors such as -server -pae -generic and so on? [00:37] awww dan86 i could just SQUEEZEEEE you - WELCOME :-) [00:37] ok, i'm installing it alongside win server 2008 r2. I resized the partition to allow for 22gb for linux. i allotted 18 for linux, 4 for swap [00:38] two partitions [00:38] what do i set the mount point on for the main partition? And have i set this up correctly? [00:38] olskolirc: well I'm sorry to say you're out of luck, you can't have a file larger than 4G on a fat32 drive [00:38] olskolirc thanks!

[00:39] (incase any are interested) [00:39] so i should move the files dougb_freebsd and partition it to ext3? [00:39] or ntfs dougb_freebsd ? [00:39] "/" is ext3 and primary right? [00:39] if you're going to be accessing the files from both windows and linux, ext2 is your safest bet [00:39] yes dan [00:39] if you are dual booting dan86 [00:39] can anyone help fixing my wireless? [00:40] i am dual booting [00:40] bot partitions should be primary dan86 [00:40] olskolirc, just to confirm ext3 or ext2? [00:40] olskolirc: http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html [00:40] i use ext3 out of habit [00:40] thanks dougb_freebsd [00:40] dan86: partitions can all be primary unless you need more than 4 [00:40] any advantage/disadvantage of ext3/ext2? [00:41] dan86: ext3 is journaled [00:41] can anyone help fixing my wireless? I tried all the guide already. [00:41] mlourenco: you need to ask an actual question with details [00:42] last 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] If you plan on trying new distros it would be a good idea. [00:42] no [00:42] so it's basically your files [00:42] as opposed to system files? [00:42] dan86: 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 place [00:43] angry [00:43] i get it, like /system and /data in android [00:43] dan86: yes, think of /home as sort of like "My Documents" in windows (plus other things) [00:43] jrib: if you create a /home partition, then reinstall afterwards does it recognize your /home partition or will you end up with 2 home folders [00:43] So yea.. I have been running Ubuntu for a while, and thought I would give the Netbook remix a try... [00:44] extraclassic: you can choose at install time [00:44] 10 minutes later, and I somehow deleted my entire /home... [00:44] KabelGuy: but you have backups, right? right...?

[01:14] yes and the video will stop from time to time and start flashing all sorts of weird colors [01:14] gasull: probably not. look at /etc/rc*.d/ [01:14] I have Windows 7 on sda1 and Ubuntu on sda5, how would I virtualize sda1? Which software would I use? [01:14] Thanks jrib, and VCoolio, that is definitely a step closer. [01:14] for what /bin/false use? [01:14] !virtualbox | winvirt [01:15] winvirt: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [01:15] gasull: there is also a program called rc-update or the like. You mihgt be interested in looking at that. [01:15] But VirtualBox requires me to install Win7 onto a disk image, I want to virtualize the partition directlyu [01:15] winvirt: you might want to try qemu, but windows being stupid and doesn't like so many hardware changes. [01:16] Okay [01:16] does free mean open source and non free closed source? [01:16] winvirt, it is possible to use physical disks with VirtualBox (i haven't done it, and see the WARNING) http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk [01:16] !free | Sovereign [01:16] Sovereign: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [01:17] <[KS]> no, non free means you pay for it :) [01:17] <[KS]> as in, cash [01:17] <[KS]> or blood :) [01:17] Muelli: All the services that aren't starting are already linked in /etc/rc2.d/ : tor, polipo, dnsmasq, hddtemp and vboxdrv [01:17] has kernel 2.6.35 worked for anyone else on 10.10 [01:17] gasull: nice. now go and figure out what runlevels are and how sysvinit starts services based on the runlevel. [01:17] [KS], free as in freedom vs. free as in beer [01:18] mininessie: works fine for me on arch [01:18] haven't tried 10.10 yet [01:18] famicube64, grr [01:18] will try to install updated intel drivers first [01:18] thanks for the site [01:18] winvirt: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx [01:18] ubuntu makes my laptop so hot why [01:18] <[KS]> cause it wears mini skirt [01:19] ok now i'm fairly certin ive been able to muddle through getting network manager.... any idea how i can discover and connect to nearby routers? [01:19] And VirtualBox can use an image in VHD format? [01:19] the wireless thing doesnt appear on the indicator applet [01:19] make sure you have drivers for your wireless card installed [01:20] winvirt, #vbox might be of assistance [01:20] get online with that computers and download the drivers to make the internet work [01:20] Thank you [01:20] looks like ubottu needs be taught about ppa packages in its answer to clone [01:21] hmm, what's mount point? I have options for what to set my second harddrive in this computer to what mount point, like /home or /usr, what exactly would that mean if I pick /usr, would all /usr/ stuff be put in that second harddrive? even if / is my primary harddrive? [01:21] my mouse randomly freezes in ubuntu... === DaZ^ is now known as DaZ [01:22] lelle, is there any time it does this regularly? ie when using firefox or gimp or some other application? [01:23] nopee [01:23] MrWise: usually you're setting a partition as /home or /usr i guess [01:23] lelle, mm and this is a fresh install of ubuntu lucid or an upgrade? [01:23] MrWise: when you want all of them mount them as / [01:23] Can someone explain to me what use linking files together are? [01:23] I mean what if the purpose of having two or more files point to one file in memory [01:23] hard or soft-wise [01:23] 10.04.1 install cd but i think it did when i first installed it too [01:23] I'm looking to install qimo os not sure if i should install in a vm or just install in Ubuntu [01:24] hey, does anyone know what's going on with the 64-bit version of Flash? [01:24] lelle, i assume this is a desktop system [01:24] ridin; what exactly would that mean if I pick /usr, would all /usr/ stuff be put in that second harddrive? even if / is my primary harddrive? [01:24] lelle: laptop, and my other mouse did it too... [01:25] Fendaril: changing the file tree into a graph making it harder to scan [01:25] richthegeek, there is a security issue with the old 64bit flash so it was removed, Adobe MAY bring it back, but no one knows (or is talking) [01:25] MrWise: sure [01:25] klappi: in other words dont use file linking? === zac is now known as Guest83067 [01:25] lelle, then I am not sure... if you have already changed mice .... you can use the touchpad with no issues? [01:25] ZykoticK9: was the security issue big? 32-bit runs insanely poorly on my system (that can otherwise run Crysis at full) [01:25] Fendaril: i was kidding! Links are totaly awsome [01:25] hi cystic im using ubuntu studio and have not had to do that before. i tried looking up my model toshiba satellite a200 but no luck :( [01:25] ZykoticK9: is that in windows also [01:25] Sovereign, no idea [01:26] klappi: awsome for what. Obfuscating things to be l33t? [01:26] hi [01:26] richthegeek, i'm not sure about the bug really - just know that it's a "security" issue of some sort... [01:26] coz_: yep i think so last i tried [01:26] Muelli: I see. Just read the Wikipedia art. re: runlevels and a linux.com art. re: Upstart and runleveles. Ubuntu emulates runlevels using Upstart. But still, I don't know how to make the services start on boot. === irc is now known as Guest33750 [01:26] ZykoticK9: ok thanks, I'll google around and see if it's duped anywhere [01:27] lelle, mm then it could be either you mice are a bit glitchy or the mouse driver is out of wach somehow.... in this case I am not sure what to tell you .... perhpas #ubuntu-hardware but I hve not been there to see exactly what in in the topic [01:27] Fendaril: look at /etc/alternatives its a good example for the use of sym links [01:28] coz_ or some sort therapy because i abuse it almost every time ubuntu hangs up :/ [01:29] theoretical question: is there an "access time" difference between accessing data in a memory cache verus accessing data in a file stored on a tmpfs? how could i test this? [01:29] access time meaning time taken to access (not "last accessed" ;) [01:29] kernel 2.6.35 doesn't for me on 10.10 === Fendaril is now known as ZTG [01:30] how can I resize my root LVM partition? [01:30] mininessie, me neither, what's your hardware === ZTG is now known as Guest59135 [01:30] Is there a computer science channel on this server [01:30] undifined, macbook pro [01:30] lelle, ooo understandable for sure === Guest59135 is now known as Fendaril [01:31] mininessie, hmmm, totaly diffrent [01:31] mininessie, i have xeon [01:31] how do I change the default lucid theme? i like the menu button on the top right instead [01:32] there is a keyword that ubottu knows.. but i am not sure which one.. i tried wintheme, lucid, theme, win.. none covers it === Tiders- is now known as Tiders [01:32] axisys, you want to change the positions of the buttons ,,,the menu button I am not sure but the other buttons are easily changed in gconf-editor [01:32] precisando [01:32] mininessie, did it work partially ? [01:32] Guest33750: make an educated guess [01:32] to no biglinux [01:32] coz_: where in gconf-editor.. i have that open [01:32] should i expect 10.04.1 netbook remix to work on 512M ram and no swap? [01:33] preciso saber como fazer uma rede no big [01:33] Tiders: in what field of cs is your question? [01:33] undifined, no i got parmin flush or something like that when it boote [01:33] axisys, go to apps/metacity/general [01:33] booted not boote [01:33] iamben, why no swap? [01:33] axisys, look on the right column for "button_layout" [01:33] klappi, Just in general I guess [01:33] mininessie, diffrent issue i think [01:33] sailerboy: i only have a 4G disk and that seems to be pushing it... /home will be on 8G SD card though [01:33] coz_: found it! thanks a lot [01:34] sailerboy: think i can afford 512M swap or so, of that 4G? [01:34] iamben, you may want to try lubuntu netbook remix [01:34] axisys, if you want the buttons on the right notice the : at the end put that at the beginning then it should look like this after editing the words :minimize,maximize,close [01:34] mininessie, mine randomly halts [01:34] * fruitwerks waves at iamben - a familiar face *hi* [01:34] it's a bit lighter [01:34] Can anybody help me find why some scripts in /etc/rc2.d/ aren't starting on bootup? [01:34] sailerboy: similar UI? [01:34] erm [01:34] sorta... [01:34] coz_: thanks [01:34] it uses LXDE [01:34] which is basically barebones [01:35] designed to be lightweight [01:35] axisys, no problem...the menu button on the other hand I do not believe has a gconf key for it [01:35] i used it on my netbook before i switched to arch [01:35] well im gentoo guy but this is for a teenage girl.. [01:35] ubuntu netbook was "working" [01:35] oh [01:36] well, lubuntu is reasonably user friendly [01:36] just no fluff and fancy gui shit [01:36] lubuntu is buggy [01:36] coz_: i think the button_layout is what I was looking for.. probly explaining it wrong :-) [01:36] iamben: gentoo guy and gnu/linux girl sounds like super heroes [01:36] iamben: I'm done with Gentoo for my uses... 10 years.. had a good run lol [01:36] axisys, oh cool :) [01:36] mininessie, i never had any problem [01:36] coz_: thanks a lot! [01:36] previous install (9.10_ had something like 256M swap, and seemed to get by with still ~600M free [01:36] axisys, no problem [01:36] * fruitwerks I have a yahoo account gentoo_dude haha [01:37] mininessie, what is buggy for you?? [01:37] 600M disk that is [01:37] iamben, you should have *SOME* swap [01:37] man, i love vmware player [01:37] ideally about the size of your memory [01:37] but you can get by with less or more [01:37] as long as you dont plan on using more then you have room for [01:37] what is the gnome/gconf cleanup bin ? wasn't it gnome-cleanup or something ? [01:37] if you have 8 gb of mem, chances are you wont need swap [01:37] fuck yea! i got ubuntu installed and working! [01:37] t [01:37] his i [01:37] s [01:37] dan86: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:37] axisys, I dont recall [01:38] heh [01:38] !language | dan86 [01:38] dan86: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:38] this is awesome! how do i install a program? i tried installing ps3 media server it's a zip file [01:38] well on the last install, with 256M used for swap, there wasn't enough disk space to do the 9.10=>10.04 upgrade in place [01:38] Muelli, maco: can you please help me any further? [01:38] i guess this is just the situation i'm stuck in [01:38] you shouldnt do the upgrade anyway [01:38] !upnp | dan86 [01:38] dan86: To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package [01:38] dan86, what do you want to install? [01:38] HOWEVER [01:38] I need some advice on moving or resizing my root partition [01:39] iamben, i would recomend putting the swap on the sd card [01:39] gasull: try symlinking /etc/init.d/tor to /etc/rc1.d/S10tor or the like. [01:39] as long as you have no need for preformance [01:39] gasull: no, in rcS.d/ I guess. [01:39] sailerboy: swap on SD will probably be tolerable, i can spare a full gig there i suppose [01:39] OK, got the network thing dealt with it seems.. which is more stable and safe: Upgrading from 9.04 twice to get to 10.04, or making a boot stick and reinstalling? [01:39] gasull: but you better check sysvinit/upstart documentatino on that. [01:39] expect slower preformance [01:39] i installed opera and i dont like it, how can i uninstall it? it doesnt show up under installed software [01:39] im assuming the sd card is SDHC [01:39] yeah it's SDHC [01:39] so it should be at least 4 mbps [01:40] i want to install ps3 media server [01:40] the 4G ssd main disk isn't exactly a screamer either.. [01:40] assuming you dont have the C32 [01:40] this is a first-gen dell mini 9 [01:40] lol [01:40] um [01:40] it's a TGZ file [01:40] i think, honestly [01:40] Muelli: rcS.d is for single-user mode [01:40] that you should put arch on it [01:40] and then put lxde or xfce [01:40] im using ubuntu studio and have not installed a network driver before. i tried looking up my model toshiba satellite a200 but no luck :( ll instructions indicate i need to be connected. pls help *cries in the corner* [01:40] after that, it's pretty userfriendly [01:40] i sure like that netbook UI though [01:40] im sure you can get that on arch [01:40] if it exists, arch will run on it [01:41] gasull: uh, hm. sorry, but apparently you know what you are talking about :-) Maybe it's rc5.d.. [01:41] * sailerboy searches AUR [01:41] i'm gonna see how things go when i add a swap partition on the SD card, i'll go from there [01:41] anybody? how can i uninstall opera web browser? its not listed under installed programs [01:41] i appreciate the input, everyone [01:41] anyone? [01:41] remove it with synaptic [01:41] iamben, aur/netbook-launcher-complete 2.1.18-1 (18) [01:41] "(for Gnome 2.30) Netbook-launcher from Ubuntu UNR. Replace the normal [01:41] menu launcher. To use with go-home-applet, [01:41] darn [01:41] how to install TGZ file? [01:41] sailerboy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:41] or sudo apt-get remove opera [01:41] i thought that was one line [01:41] sinnedam, how did you install it? From a DEB file or PPA? [01:42] sailerboy: that's from the arch repo, i'm guessing? [01:42] but ya iamben, that's from AUR [01:42] good to know [01:42] iamben, if you have an afternoon [01:42] arch will be much lighter then ubuntu [01:42] and probably faster [01:42] Muelli: thanks, but rc5.d seems to be for X11 apps: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Runlevel#Typical_Linux_runlevels [01:43] Muelli: rc4.d? [01:43] ok if I ditch my swap partition (temporary) and 'copy' my root partition over to that, andthing special I need to do other than some fstab entries? [01:43] gasull: I'm sorry. I don't know. But you can check your current runlevel with telinit or so I think. That might help you [01:44] !runlevel [01:44] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [01:44] Muelli: No worries. Thank you [01:44] what does linux RPM mean? [01:44] do i install a file for linux or linux RPM? ubuntu 10.04 [01:44] ZykoticK9: thanks [01:44] hi [01:45] dan86, RPM = Redhat Package Management - like DEB files for Ubuntu [01:45] dan86: rpm means redhat package manager [01:45] ok Thanks! [01:45] is java pre-installed with ubuntu 10.04? [01:45] dan86, not re-installed no - you need to add the Partner repo to install Sun Java [01:45] hi how do I fix my tool bar? network manager and shutdown button desapears [01:45] HI Folks, I am getting a problem 'Couldn't read xref table' when trying to print from Scribus .8, or Adobe or Okular, whereas from Doucment Viewer works OK, any ideas please?

[01:51] i'm confused =/ [01:51] dan86: if you just want the ps3 media server you should look for that in synaptic first. [01:51] Fendaril: lspci should show the soundcard [01:51] dan86, to install Sun's Java see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/java [01:52] so who is the partner to install java? how the correct way to install [01:52] ? [01:52] VinnyParker: what do you want to do with java. [01:52] dev [01:52] I need jdk [01:52] melkor: High Definition Audio Controller [01:52] postgresql [01:52] and glassfish [01:52] "Template ubuntu-application does not exist." Anyone know what package I need to install to deal with this? (Related to 'quickly') [01:53] Hi all. [01:53] VinnyParker: the best is to d/load it from sun and install the latest version. If you are new to ubuntu, then the sun java jdk is the quickest, easiest and works quite well. [01:54] melkor: on a side note why is my firefox going so slugglish? [01:54] flan: quickly-ubuntu-template perhaps === andrew_ is now known as Guest98549 [01:54] trism, thanks for answering, but, unfortunately, I've already got that one. :( [01:54] dan86 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] melkor: ok but how do I install it? if I cant use jdk bin [01:54] VinnyParker: don't use the gnu java though. [01:54] how do I get the gnome-cleanup ? [01:54] i see it in my gnome in opensolaris [01:55] just curious.. after i do sudo update && upgrade.. the Update Manager pops right back up, still wanting updates.. why? [01:55] ok. 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 irssi [01:55] there might be a gnome-cleanup equivalent in ubuntu ?! [01:55] litatacos thanks [01:55] installing now =) [01:56] chalcedny, 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] dan86: don't install openjdk [01:56] ok. 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 irssi [01:56] melkor why not? [01:56] (i just did) === Guest83067 is now known as zacbarton [01:56] melkor why is that? [01:56] dan86: well it might work for you since your not developing. [01:56] litatacos: it sucks [01:56] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-libxml2 (>= 2.7.6), how can I install this dependency [01:57] melkor its the easiest way [01:57] litatacos: there is a proper sun java in the repos [01:57] ah ok i stand corrected [01:57] melkor: So what do I use to install java [01:57] ? [01:57] trism, thanks for trying. Do you want to know if I find the answer? [01:57] Guest98549: If you are using a driver that supports xrandr 1.2 (anything except nvidia) you can use xrandr to change the mode to something different then back to see if it resets it [01:57] VinnyParker: you can use synaptic [01:57] i can't use gmail's "call phone" function in firefox, but it works in chrome. what can i do for firefox? [01:57] VinnyParker: one sec. [01:57] it works just fine on my lamp server [01:57] ok [01:57] thank you [01:58] soreau: the GUI doesn't respond === Guest98549 is now known as GUInotWorking [01:58] yes as dumb as i am on ubuntu studio i can set up lamp solution stacks and maintain them just fine :P [01:58] hi! how can I make the result of 'ls' colored by default? [01:59] and possibly also a colored prompt [01:59] VinnyParker: sun-java6-jdk [01:59] ok. 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 irssi [01:59] it will create java variables? [01:59] environmental vriables? [01:59] after i started playing music the system has become unresponsive.... [02:00] VinnyParker: I dont know what variables you want set. [02:00] yes I was usng /etc/profile to set jdk variables [02:00] VinnyParker: that should install sun's version of java. [02:00] im trying killing x server [02:00] do I need to use it here also? [02:00] GUInotWorking, just an FYI for future, it's probably best to disable Compiz before starting 3d games (especially wine stuff) - fusion-icon provided a system tray icon to switch between compiz and metacity easily [02:00] ok I'll try thax [02:00] VinnyParker: what variables, probably.

[02:07] ZykoticK9, why do you postpone the nick of sinnedam ? [02:07] i think its because ubuntu studio ny network stuff [02:07] hi guys [02:07] doesnt include ^ [02:07] Litatacos can i ask you a quick question [02:07] litatacos: I don't know "ubuntu studio", but... step one, do "ifconfig -a" and see what network interfaces you have. [02:07] yes sir [02:07] alesan, because i'm addressing one person, but it's referring to anothers' issue - so want them to be highlighted as well [02:07] ok, i downloaded a program called ps3 media server, its a TGZ file [02:07] just got ubuntu [02:07] tnx puff one sec [02:07] i unzipped it [02:07] when i try command line it says unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?) [02:07] litatacos: what sort of network driver? Your wireless, or any network? [02:08] and ran the .sh file and it opens and works [02:08] any network [02:08] sinnedam, youn need to use sudo [02:08] where should i put the folder for the program? how do i add a shortcut for it? [02:08] hardwire doesnt work [02:08] i did :( [02:08] anyone able to help me with a script, containing the copy command, it can be read at http://pastebin.com/iZTcCz80 contains the output i get when ran [02:08] litatacos: You should see eth0 and eth1, as well as a few others, and the second or third line of each shoudl say something like UP MULTICAST etc [02:08] is synaptic open? [02:08] sinnedam, close any Synaptic / Ubuntu Software Center / or Update Managers in your GUI then try again [02:08] ZykoticK9, ok but it's the first time I see somebody putting the nick at the end of the sentence [02:08] yes lol [02:08] close it Sinister [02:08] close it sinnedam [02:08] bye [02:09] goodbye.

[02:09] xchat fail [02:09] sailerboy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:09] :| [02:09] litatacos: Hello? As I said, I have to go AFK soon, so... [02:10] hey puff i see the up stuff you were talking about [02:10] litatacos: Okay, so "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" [02:10] litatacos: Do you have eth1? [02:10] litatacos: And is eth1 up? [02:10] nope [02:10] doesn't support scanning [02:11] Weird. [02:11] litatacos: Okay, so... do you know what your router ESSID is? [02:11] litatacos: And channel? [02:11] litatacos, i haven't been following but usually wireless is wlan0 [02:11] dan912 sorry man gimmie some time trying to fix my media box need it for post production [02:11] hey [02:11] I need help [02:11] ZykoticK9: I think it depends on the hardware. On mine, it's always eth1. [02:11] !ask | Brandon_ [02:11] Brandon_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:11] puff, you have unusual hardware then [02:12] ZykoticK9: Maybe, ibm thinkpad t43p. [02:12] litatacos: Okay, do you know your WAP's ESSID and channel? [02:12] think we can take this www.express.paltalk.com and make our own java program? its java and flash [02:12] woaahhhh [02:12] !ask | ubottu [02:12] olskolirc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:13] Evening. [02:13] Can anyone assist me on fixing my sound on xubuntu? YouTube isn't as funny without it. [02:13] Ok, So everytime i try to install any kind of linux, ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, and some tiny version, it will boot up from the disk then when i click either install or run demo it starts to load then my screen flashes and freezes up [02:13] anyone able to help me with a script, containing the copy command, it can be read at http://pastebin.com/iZTcCz80 contains the output i get when ran [02:13] Question: Each time I boot up it seems wireless is disabled. I can easily enable it each time, but it's getting a tad annoying. [02:13] puff wlan0 came back with... lots of stuff lol [02:13] litatacos no prob [02:13] i will PM you [02:13] litatacos: Okay, do you know your WAP's ESSID and channel? [02:14] nah hang on tho ill get it [02:14] It kinda looks like this when it freezes up http://blog.hexagonstar.com/wp-content/uploads/gba_glitch.gif [02:15] litatacos: If so, try: a) sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid b) sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel mychannel, c) sudo dhclient wlan0 [02:16] I tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions. win xp oloaded and installed fine [02:16] litatacos: Then see what dhclient comes back with. [02:16] tnx puff [02:16] I 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 CD [02:16] gah!!! lame i forgot where my home is :P [02:17] litatacos: 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] Reflexwolf I think you have the same prob i have =( === Viper is now known as Out`Of`Control [02:17] litatacos. its /home/yourname or if you are in a terminal, you can easily get there by typing 'cd ~' [02:17] tnx puff ill try the otherthing i forgot how to log into my router gotta find home to get essid nd chan [02:17] I seem to have a CUPS issue after an update a few days ago - things would print - all kinds of error messages lke 'cant read xref table' etc- can anyone help please? [02:19] did you get them to send you a CD Brandon_ ? [02:19] litatacos: 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] No i burnt them myself, a few. and tried usb [02:19] 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? [02:20] puff i cant wired wont work :( [02:20] litatacos: 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] thats how i usully do it. this stupid ubuntu studio has me beat lol [02:20] Can anyone tell me the terminal command to find out what sound card i use? [02:20] anyone able to help me with a script, containing the copy command, it can be read at http://pastebin.com/iZTcCz80 contains the output i get when ran [02:20] litatacos: Yeah, that part sounds a litle weird to me, maybe the NIC is bad or something. [02:20] is the wiki unusually laggy? [02:20] I don't have the bandwith to download it :( so I had them mail me a copy [02:21] ritlee, try "lspci | grep -i audio" might work [02:21] thnx puff i have a feeling ill be on the right track with the stuff you gve me [02:21] i download about 6 gigs a day lol [02:21] litatacos: Plug in the wired connection and try "sudo dhclient eth0" (or whatever your wired NIC's name is). [02:21] owner, try "lspci | grep -i audio" might work (sorry nic fail) [02:21] im just lame and forgot how to log into my stupid router [02:21] litatacos: that should give you at least some idea of what's happening. [02:21] off to find the manual lol [02:21] Thanks zykotick9 [02:21] tnx puff mucho gracias [02:21] litatacos: Also, consider divide and conquer... try it on another network, make sure it isn't the router that's causing the problem. [02:22] Im downloading damn small linux to test, what prgram can put a .iso on a usb? [02:22] i have the comp im on now using wireless so it works [02:22] Brandon_ you can use Unetbootin [02:22] brandon thats more then my whole months bandwith :( [02:22] but if you have ubuntu, you can use the USB creator. [02:22] the card works when i hd windows on it [02:23] ive narrowed it down to me breaking it with ubuntu studio lol [02:23] ubuntu wont work and nobody wants to help, and reflex how do you live?!!? [02:23] Brandon_, its under System>Administration>USB Startup Disk Creator [02:23] litatacos: 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] litatacos: "sudo ifup wlan0" and "sudo ifdown wlan0" are another set. [02:23] ahah!!! tnx ill try tht too [02:23] vbox has the lamest support for usb devices i've ever seen.. [02:23] Question: 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] litatacos: The gotcha is, the two sets use DIFFERENT lock files. [02:23] on windows? [02:24] itsux2bu, you are using the version from Oracle and not from the default ubuntu repo right? [02:24] lol argh!! [02:24] If directed towards me, on Ubuntu. [02:24] brandon as best I can, till I move and can get more than ATT to get brodband to my home [02:24] Brandon_, if you are on windows, use Unetbootin, the startup disk creator doesnt exist on windows. [02:24] litatacos: 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] the way vbox handles usb devices alone is reason enough never use vbox [02:24] i gotcha puff ill keep log its just easier [02:25] !ot | itsux2bu [02:25] itsux2bu: #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] oops.. wrong channel.. thot i was in vbox [02:25] litatacos: Either one, however, will automatically invoke dhclient when it brings a network interface up. [02:26] litatacos: 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] I seem to have a CUPS issue after an update a few days ago - things would print - all kinds of error messages lke 'cant read xref table' etc- can anyone help please? [02:26] litatacos: Good luck, gotta run. [02:26] AFK. [02:27] gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh wlan0 unknown interface [02:27] Can someone help me solve my sound card issue please? [02:27] no getting round it... drivers [02:27] ny ide where i cn find em?

I wonder why it's not mounted automatically *thinking* [04:14] dan86: how do you know it's not mounted? [04:14] !attitude > lgc [04:14] lgc, please see my private message [04:14] gentleman_ is it a filesystem or is it a network connection? [04:14] zkriesse_: he's trying to setup an ssh tunnel. I explained he can setup a tunnel as follows: ssh ratona.homelinux.org -f -L 5901:localhost:5901 "sleep 3600" . Apparently he doesn't like this method or something.. no idea [04:14] is a file system [04:14] an Ipod? [04:14] yes [04:15] Ok now you're making sense [04:15] dan86: whenever you attach that device, it should be mounted automatically to that location you pointed out. [04:15] hehe [04:15] lgc: Cool it dude...you're pushin the envelope... [04:15] zkriesse_: ...

Too many patrons here to censor what others write quite unduly. [04:15] gentleman_ what version of ubuntu do you have? [04:16] 9.10 [04:16] splnet: lgc zkriesse Please let's all relax and get back to the issue. [04:16] upgrade to 10.04. It has compatibility out of the box [04:16] i have problem with my graffik card [04:16] all I'm trying to figure out is how to pronounce zkriesse [04:16] 10.4 [04:16] IdleOne: ....

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:19] Gnea: The issue is an old one: Officious contenders! Let's make the place friendlier! Jeez, that's why #ubuntu is reputedly an intimidating place to be! [04:19] lgc: drop it now. please [04:19] lgc: what's more important to you right now: solving the computer problem, or continuing an offtopic discussion? [04:19] Agreed. [04:19] with IdleOne [04:20] hi, i'm having trouble removing mysqld from autostarting on ubuntu. any idea ? [04:20] Gnea: You got a point. But I keep being attacked and bullied for [04:20] i've tried rc-update remove, tried sysv-rc-conf [04:20] does nobody know how to add higher screen resolutions to 10.04? [04:20] nothing works [04:20] it still starts /usr/bin/mysqld [04:20] Damnnn [04:21] lgc: The point right now is that you are continuing with this offtopic discussion that can only serve to cause more tension. Please stop now. [04:21] Gnea: ...something quite menial and unjust, by the way. [04:21] lgc: no one's attacking or bullying you, you're just reading it as such. you're all stressed out and you probably could use a break for awhile. no one's mad at you, we just want to help.

[04:30] muelli it wants X, are you aware of any mods that can allow a console to run it? [04:30] or where should I look rather?

[04:32] yeah muelli i am using irssi, just hoped that wine would work in a console as orca is not comaptible with it in gnome [04:32] what card ? [04:32] but Im using ubuntu 10.04 LTS and this distro dont have that file..I guess [04:32] fililoco: have you checked out system -> admin -> hardware drivers ? [04:32] r8169 [04:33] Fudge: erm. Nothing will be compatible with anything emulated in WINE I'm afraid. [04:33] bastidrazor, I tried that. do you (or anyone else) know where permissions of mounts are inherrited from? [04:33] Josesordo: tell me if you have a file located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [04:33] zeknox yes i chek it but only the ati drivers are for install [04:34] someone there?

[04:36] the only think I did yesterday.. was set a GRUB background image, and set a boot screen with plymouth..

[04:42] zeknox: I uninstalled that packaged already.. I restarted system..but nothing yet [04:42] b A [04:42] run sudo tasksel [04:42] tasksel is cool [04:43] zeknox: no, i dont have the problem with win 7 [04:43] fililoco_: hmmm [04:43] hey guys whats up [04:43] zeknox, What software selection now? [04:43] Josesordo: then choose Ubuntu desktop [04:43] im gona check tracy link [04:43] Josesordo: or if you want a different GUI, you can choose any other one you choose [04:43] hey guys hows it going [04:44] demonic: what up [04:44] if u check google u will find a lot of info about your card and ubuntu there were some problems with your card [04:44] what linux are you running [04:44] zeknox [04:44] demonic: ubuntu, freebsd, win 7, win xp, mac os x [04:45] yup i try some things [04:45] im running ubuntu linux netbook remix [04:45] but no one works [04:45] zeknox: ok, I pressed enter..and seems like nothing happened or I need to restart? [04:45] fililoco_: when did the problem start occuring? [04:45] its acually very nice fast and organised [04:45] when i installed ubuntu xD [04:45] Josesordo: you need to press space when it is highlighted, that will check the box, then enter [04:45] Josesordo: sudo tasksel again [04:46] fililoco_: have you updated the system? sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ? [04:46] What 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 drive [04:46] yes [04:46] zeknox: ok was so fast..but now seems like something was installed xD [04:47] Josesordo: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:47] Josesordo: press Alt + F1 and run that [04:47] Alt + F1 show the menu :P [04:47] zeknox: Alt + F1 show the menu :P [04:47] Josesordo: well just run it from terminal it don't metter [04:48] sudo [04:48] What 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 drive [04:48] Are AMD or NVidia graphics better on ubuntu atm? [04:48] dan86: hey settle down!, and be more specific on what you want to share to? xbox, ps3, linux, mac, win, what? [04:48] to ps3 =) [04:49] dan86: what type of media did you have in mind, music or vids? [04:49] is anyone else having difficulty reaching google? [04:49] videos [04:49] mainly movies [04:49] is there any trick to editing the default note template? I would like a blank one rather then the current default [04:49] dan86: might be interesting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer [04:49] zeknox: still the desktop cube move slow, and another slow effects :( [04:50] i tried ps3 media server [04:50] and added it to startup list [04:50] and...? you didn't tell us that [04:50] dan86: so whats the problem? [04:50] Are AMD or NVidia drivers better on ubuntu atm? [04:50] but when i booted it only showed "/" [04:50] as folder [04:50] i love that program, use it on MAC and PC [04:50] Flynsarmy: its a matter of prefrence [04:51] Josesordo: did you look under system -> admin -> hardware drivers? [04:51] zeknox: what means this in dmesg? --> [drm] Resetting GPU, [drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs [04:51] Josesordo: sounds like driver issue, or video card issue, it shouldn't be reseting I don't think, could be wrong [04:51] zeknox: 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] im gonna reset and chek if tracy web works [04:51] zeknox 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 it [04:52] Flynsarmy: as long as you get a decent video card with sufficient memroy and cpu, you can have the cube and many annimations [04:52] dan86: so what is the question? I thought you wanted to know a linux media server? [04:52] zeknox: there were massive amd issues like 1 or 2 distros back on AMD cards. are htey solved now? [04:52] Flynsarmy, i have ati hd4850 and it work perfect [04:52] zekox: this work fine without the ATI drives from Hardware drives menu..but lets try [04:53] Flynsarmy: open radeon drivers IMHO [04:53] Josesordo: if there are other drivers, it probably would be best to try them [04:53] zeknox, i would prefer to get ps3 media server functioning correctly [04:53] Josesordo: the best video drivers are not installed by default IMO [04:53] zeknox: yesterday, worked fine.. grr.. but well, [04:53] dan86: what is the problem with Ps3MediaServer, i don't understand the actual problem at hand [04:54] Can I ask a question or would it be better for the conversation to finish first =o [04:54] latagore: ask away! [04:54] soreau: the open radeon drivers support 3D for desktop zoom and window nimations on open/close and twinview? that's all i'm really after [04:54] latagore, just ask [04:54] I can't seem to get to the login screen on Ubuntu [04:54] It just freezes [04:54] I want to join #math in xchat, how? [04:54] Someone know how I add the Connection Tray Icon again? I deleted by accident now T_T [04:55] latagore: delete you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart gdm [04:55] Josesordo: there is a way in gnome to reset all your visuals to default... [04:55] bahaa, ho to server, join channel [04:55] Josesordo: hang on, file in your home directory [04:55] latagore: remove quiet from your bootup line and see what message it ends on [04:55] Flynsarmy: Twinview is an nvidia-specific technology. The open radeon drivers support xrandr 1.2 which is how you manipulate your monitors and modes [04:55] Josesordo: 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] latagore, which ubuntu version are you using? [04:56] Flynsarmy: and yes, it can do all the compiz features you listed and more [04:56] Hi, 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] zeknox: hang on?.. I cancell the Driver download or not? [04:56] Josesordo: let the install finish [04:56] soreau: perfect. xrandr supports swithcing in and out of dual monitors without an x restart correct? [04:56] Josesordo: only 1 task at a time [04:56] I'm not sure what GDM is but apparently the file doesn't exist [04:56] kiamo: no [04:56] Josesordo: left click on the upper panel and chose add to panel then add a notification area [04:56] Flynsarmy: yes [04:56] latagore: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:57] cedriczg: can you tell me how step by step? [04:57] And how do you handle answering everyone's questions lol [04:57] I am new to Ubuntu as a graphical OS. When I minimize windows they seem to disappear [04:57] latagore: Gnome Desktop Manager [04:57] Flynsarmy: The proprietary nvidia driver is the only driver I know of that can run compiz but doesn't support xrandr 1.2 [04:57] How do I get them to show like at the bottom of the screen [04:57] treeshoe: 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] cedriczg, like I type "/server" what if I don't know the server name? [04:57] treeshoe: then restart gmd using sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:57] cedriczg, it's in freenode [04:58] bahaa, 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] soreau: excellent. thanks for the info [04:58] No such file or directory; I'm running the recovery boot. [04:58] D: i must go. [04:58] goodbye #ubuntu [04:58] Good bye =o [04:58] cedriczg, you are right :)! [04:58] cedriczg, I'll try it [04:58] treeshoe: right click your bottom toolbar - add to toolbar - window list [04:58] bahaa, then with command I think it is /join #channelname [04:58] zeknox: ok, driver installed, now I need to restart the PC [04:58] Josesordo: restarting the pc will work, or possibly just restarting gdm [04:59] great .. it worked. Thank you pfg [04:59] Is there any solution for hte insane memory leak in gnome-power-manager? leaks 4kb/second. eats up the ram fast [04:59] Flynsarmy: uninstall it [04:59] treeshoe: NP, been there before ; ) [04:59] bahaa, you can also have a list of the available channels with "list of channels" [04:59] zeknox, any idea how I can troubleshoot this? [04:59] cedriczg, I want to join this : http://freenode-math.yourwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page [04:59] zeknox: I'm in recovery boot mode thingie, if that explains why the file you listed doesn't exist [04:59] zek0r: ahh...it sounds kind of important lol [05:00] kiamo: specify the issue exactly [05:00] zek0r: and interestly, every time you install updates the update manager starts it up again [05:00] latagore: just reboot into normal mode now then [05:01] zek0r: sorry those were meant for zeknox [05:01] cedriczg, I found it but couldn't join it [05:02] Flynsarmy: I think there is a popular alternative if I remember correctly [05:02] just pressing the join button and it does nothing!! [05:02] I need help setting up my dlink DBT-120 bluetooth dongle [05:02] zeknox: I can see the users listed now but it's frozen again [05:02] bahaa, you can go to the freenode tab and type "/join #math" [05:02] latagore: did you install any additional themes for the bootup screen? [05:03] bahaa, or use the "server" button on the menu, then "join channel" button and then type "#math" as channel [05:03] I don't believe so [05:03] latagore: or logon screen rather [05:03] I found this on the node page : #math :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [05:03] zeknox, Often when I install new apps from the software centre the installation fails to complete.

I found a printer driver that works with my Kodak ESO3500 all in one printer - [06:02] soreau: 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" screen [06:02] Just thought I wold share the news.. [06:02] soreau: if you need any more information, you can ask; just listed off the top of my head [06:03] congrats Junior49MI [06:03] latagore: Hmm.. should be ok I think. Have you tried any different version of ubuntu to boot from? [06:03] soreau: I have not [06:03] How to develop a software like EVA ? [06:04] soreau: Being a noob sucks :D [06:04] i 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] A 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. LOL [06:05] ovrflw0x: I guess you can disable the propriatary drivers to at least get it working as good as before. [06:05] anybody able to help with a webcam that is installed but shows no image [06:05] latagore: Well I'd be interested to know why it freezes on the boot. How long did you wait? [06:05] The second and fourth time I waited for over an hour [06:06] sacarlson, neither ubuntu driver from jockey nor the one downloaded and installed from ati website give super performance [06:06] Excell-Home: what is the model of the webcam? === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [06:06] Excell-Home: model of web cam? [06:06] soreau: Didn't atttach your name up and it freezes on the logon screen, just when the users pop up [06:06] ovrflw0x: well guess your stuck with opensource then. [06:06] i have 2 one is a trust wb-3600r and the other is a microdia PC camera (sn9c110) [06:06] Well guys take care - and adios... [06:07] sacarlson, where can i get opensource driver? [06:07] Good day Junior [06:07] he he eh [06:07] latagore: Right, it should not do that [06:07] ovrflw0x: just delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot should do it. maybe just rename it so you can go back. [06:07] Excell-Home: try installing Cheese Webcam [06:08] facebook.com is down fyi [06:08] n o way [06:08] latagore: Perhaps you can try booting with nomodeset as a kernel parameter in the live menu by pressing Esc as soon as it boots [06:08] whosjose: the first camera looks like it doesn't work with the kernel, but you could try Cheese Webcam as whosjose suggests [06:08] i have that it shows the device video0 and video1 but its just a blank screen [06:08] http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/facebook.com [06:08] sacarlson, opensource driver doesn't allow me to control "brightness" by "Fn" keys [06:09] Excell-Home: does the picture mode work on it? [06:09] soreau: I don't know how to do that =( [06:09] latagore: You know when the thing starts booting from usb, then press esc button on your keyboard [06:09] soreau: K [06:09] latagore: It should enter into a list with some options [06:09] ovrflw0x: 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] no picture just a grey screen [06:10] sacarlson, what do you mean? i have laptop not monitor [06:10] ovrflw0x: ok then no brightness control. [06:10] soreau: Could not find kernel image [06:10] Excell-Home: you are using the software package Cheese Webcam? [06:11] latagore: You did something wrong... [06:11] ovrflw0x: did you try looking for your hardware info in google for people with the same problem? [06:11] cheese webcam booth [06:11] latagore: Just press esc one time, then hit esc then select english and then hit e for edit [06:11] also there is no light on the web cam [06:12] sacarlson, i searched but couldn't find [06:12] sorry i lie the green light is on [06:12] latagore: Somewhere in there you can find the boot options and enable nomodeset [06:12] soreau: It's at the menu with "Run from this CD, Install to hard disk...", is it not? [06:12] ovrflw0x: 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 persists [06:13] Excell-home: So there's a green light but no picture? [06:13] correct [06:13] latagore: No it should say 'Try Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer' and 'Install Ubuntu' [06:14] Excell-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 with [06:14] Anyone familiar with setting up gnome terminal to name the tab after the server I am currently on? [06:14] soreau: I was approximating what it was saying; It says exactly: "Run Ubuntu from this USB, Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk....." [06:15] i0nic: maybe try ssh'ing to the machine (even locally)? [06:15] ... [06:15] hi guys, my PC is going too slow for the past few days, what should I do ? [06:15] hi. i've looked at a bunch of tutorials, but i can't find the answer to the simple question "how do i switch from bash to zsh?" [06:15] any suggestions on software [06:15] soreau: Are we talking about the same menu? [06:15] i0nic: you mean at the cuser? isn't that the default? [06:16] i can 'ps -p $$' to confirm i am in fact running bash and not zsh [06:16] dr0id: run top , run ps -fe figure out if it is a memory issue or something else [06:16] pfg: ps -fe ? [06:17] Excell-Home: cheese, camorama, kamoso [06:17] dr0id: ah, command line, very useful, lots of info mate [06:17] ok so pidgin is working for now [06:17] yeah wait [06:17] got a huge list [06:17] ?? [06:17] dr0id: Im going off a min but lots of help here [06:17] my pc is still working extremely slow [06:17] how can I get my installed programs to show up for every user on my installation? [06:17] things just get hanged [06:17] pfg: no, wait :P [06:17] sacarlson, trying to get it to display the current server I am on in the window title [06:17] dr0id: top, whats using the memory ? [06:18] give me a min [06:18] dr0id: can't im sorry but run top and at the top it shows memory usage [06:18] dr0id: hey have you checked out the new app inventor from google? [06:18] I just can't use anything, it's pretty slow [06:18] soreau: I booted it by typing live nomodeset [06:18] gotta check it out [06:18] is there a minimal ubuntu live cd? [06:18] ok i will try [06:18] I did ps -fe [06:18] or can the minimal ubuntu installation disc work as one? [06:18] lelle: google works [06:18] latagore: Yes from that menu, you have to press e IIRC [06:18] i0nic: but what if you login to another system from there? how could you change with window title if it's already open? [06:18] Excell-Home: i'm out, whosjose might be able to continue to help you, best luck [06:18] whosjose so does #ubuntu, but better [06:18] hi everyone, i'm trying to open a port for deluge, i've already set it up on the router to portforward but i still get the port closed when i check [06:18] pfg: you there? [06:18] ok thanks good luck [06:19] night html5 [06:19] !google | whosjose [06:19] whosjose: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [06:19] sacarlson, i run tabs. [06:19] soreau: I have got the system booted, but obviously only off the USB [06:19] hey, anyone there who can tell me why my pc is sooooo slowwwwww ? [06:19] haha! got ya [06:19] i0nic: wow it does change for me I didn't even know that [06:19] dr0id: explain on what you mean is slow? [06:19] sacarlson, lucky [06:19] could anyone help.. [06:19] !ask | iamm [06:20] iamm: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:20] iamm ask your questio [06:20] whosjose: everything is working slow [06:20] things hanging [06:20] right now, everything except pidgin has hanged [06:20] i've already asked the question whosjose [06:20] the screen becomes messy when I drag some windows [06:20] off god [06:20] i0nic: it must be the default in 10.04 [06:20] sacarlson, do me a favor, system->preferences->preferred applications->system what is your command? [06:20] latagore: How did you get it to boot? [06:20] scroll up please [06:20] i0nic: ok moment [06:20] sacarlson, using 10.04 :/ [06:20] soreau: I typed at the boot prompt "live nomodeset" [06:21] ANYONE please ? [06:21] iamm: there's to much going on. [06:21] soup [06:21] iamm press the arrow up button and your last comment shows, and post it again, faster and easier than ask if someone can help i think [06:21] anyon here develop for the androids? [06:21] dr0id: PM me so I can help you directly, to much going on at once. [06:21] i0nic: well this is what I ran gnome-terminal [06:21] hi everyone, i'm trying to open a port for deluge, i've already set it up on the router to portforward but i still get the port closed when i check [06:21] whosjose: yeah, thanks [06:21] latagore: Ok now you have to perform a similar task in the real install. Boot with "nomodeset radeon.modeset=0" [06:21] whosjose: I pmed you [06:22] sacarlson, so with gnome terminal open.. you can ctrl-shift-t (to create a new tab) ssh to a server and it says what server you are on in the title? it doesnt say ubuntuuser@ubuntusystem [06:22] i0nic: with execute flag -x [06:22] sacarlson, ? [06:22] ? [06:22] soreau: So should I run live-install? [06:23] latagore: No, take the usb out and boot normally [06:23] i0nic: wow yes it does [06:23] anyone there who can help me understand why my pc is working so slow ? [06:23] dr0id, sudo apt-get install htop [06:23] iamm: are you running any software firewalls? have you tried to manually open ports? [06:24] dr0id: do you do androdi [06:24] sacarlson, for some reason I don't believe you =) that's crazy it works like that for you. [06:24] soreau: I don't know how to have boot parameters at the GRUB screen [06:24] dr0id: dstat -ta 10 [06:24] i0nic: well I didn't login to another system but the tab did open [06:24] i0nic: installed now ? [06:24] dr0id, run it? [06:24] latagore: Highlight the kernel entry you want, then press 'e' [06:25] i0nic: I don't have another system to login at this time I would need to power up something else [06:25] whosjose, i've got no software firewalls installed or running, though i don't know how to manually open the port on a linux desktop [06:25] anyone here running 10.04 ? [06:25] brb [06:25] m00t: got some weird output [06:25] soreau: where should I insert the parameters? Sorry for the trouble :\ [06:25] dr0id: what the fluxbox man [06:25] hate you [06:25] why ? [06:26] i0nic: I would try create a new account and see if it looks like mine. I didn't change it. so it must be from the default templates [06:26] !anyone | i0nic [06:26] i0nic: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:26] latagore: At the end of the kernel line, like ro quiet splash radeon.modeset=0 [06:26] mneptok, stop trolling me kty. [06:26] i0nic: I'm running desktop 10.04 [06:26] iamm: please pm me so i can help you directly [06:26] i0nic: excuse me? [06:26] Excell-Home: did you fix the web cam? [06:26] sacarlson, yeah but you dont have any systems to ssh into [06:26] soreau: I am sorry; I don't know what you mean by kernel line :( [06:27] i0nic: give me one to try and I will [06:27] sacarlson, give you what? a shell account on a server? [06:27] i0nic: yes [06:27] i0nic: asking "is anyone" is a common issue in this channel. that's why that factoid exists. [06:27] i0nic: m00t: I ran top and under %CPU it shows 100 for COMMAND firefox, does that means firefox is eating up all the memory? [06:27] mneptok, squelched. [06:27] dr0id, pkill -9 firefox [06:28] i0nic: may I know what will that do? will that close all firefox? [06:28] dr0id, ps -afx |grep firefox [06:28] i0nic: please adjust your attitude. [06:28] no camorama says unable to capture image [06:28] i0nic: wow I just tried to bring up my virtualbox to test my gnome-terminal but seems that's broken all my machines are missing [06:29] i0nic: Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?

[06:31] latagore, what file r u editing [06:31] I never knew that firefox was such a memory sucker [06:32] dr0id firefox sucks use links [06:32] soreau told me to put nomodeset radeon.modeset=0 as boot parameters === diva is now known as zerobinary [06:32] thats why google made their own browser instead of "using" firefox [06:32] i0nic: links? never heard of it :P [06:32] i0nic: Enough of that. When helping, be helpful. [06:32] dr0id: it can be, but 3.6.8 isn't so bad [06:32] dr0id, sudo apt-get install links [06:32] I think I will have to use google chrome from now onwards [06:32] dr0id, links --help [06:32] I just used firefox, because when I reboot, the tabs are saved [06:32] i0nic: it would be to your advantage to not /ignore certain people [06:33] dr0id: spyware :( [06:33] that does not happens with chrome [06:33] what it doesnt that blows [06:33] Gnea: another user told me to add boot parameters to boot ubuntu [06:33] latagore: are you able to get to the menu selection when grub boots? [06:34] Gnea: Yes [06:34] latagore: okay, then you should be able to get to edit the selection with the 'e' keypress [06:35] Gnea: I'm just lost how to do what the other user told me [06:35] i0nic: you have forgot to mention lynx w3c curl wget.... [06:35] latagore: I didn't see what it was... [06:35] m00t: he's gone. [06:35] Gnea: He told me to use parameters "nomodeset radeon.modeset=0" [06:35] latagore: end of the kernel line [06:35] soreau: thanks [06:35] Soreau: wait [06:36] latagore: At the end of the kernel line, like 'kernel blah blah ... ro quiet splash radeon.modeset=0' [06:36] Gnea: oh my..... :) [06:36] latagore: 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 parameters [06:36] soreau: If you mean literally "kernel" then there is no line with kernel [06:37] latagore: there is always a line that starts with the word 'kernel' [06:37] latagore: add it right after the line that has splash in it [06:37] seems my virtualbox won't let me create a new system as well with Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: VirtualBox Interface: IVirtualBox {3f36e024-7fed-4f20-a02c-9158a82b44e6} [06:37] latgore: vmlinuz... [06:37] latagore: 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 vmlinuz [06:38] Alright, I just had no idea what it's called; I'm kind of noob at this ;-; [06:38] as in really flipping noob [06:38] latagore: everyone is at some point. [06:38] latagore: unless you're using grub2... [06:38] Gnea: With grub2 "linux" is used rather than "kernel". [06:38] latagore: then it might start with 'linux' [06:38] Jordan_U: :) [06:39] Jordan_U: thanks [06:39] soreau: You're welcome. [06:39] latagore: See Jordan_U's comment above [06:40] Jordan_U: Apparently it's v1.98, but it's still linux; but at least I've gotten past the error [06:40] awesome, group effort [06:41] Just wondering, can I use a DVD as the installer for Ubuntu 10.04 64bit? [06:41] latagore: 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 problem [06:41] Microman171: I do believe so [06:41] Gnea: Thanks mate [06:41] Gnea, 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] Microman171: they make a DVD image [06:41] Microman171: 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. [06:42] thanks guys, problem was FIREFOX :P [06:42] * nuk [Status: Away (homework) [06:42] soreau: I'll write down your advice [06:42] latagore: cheers [06:42] Hi everyone when using grub2 how do i specify my root like "linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/linux-root ro" [06:42] Jordan_U: So it's a special image? Not just the basic one from the site? [06:42] latagore: If all else fails, get the maverick release in October! [06:42] I'll hunt around for a DVD version [06:42] I 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 ? [06:43] Microman171: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#dvd [06:43] Jordan_U: Just found that. Thanks mate [06:44] Microman171: You're welcome. [06:44] dr0id: some files are larger then others, thus making it longer to delete/move/copy/etc [06:44] whosjose: no, even 1kb files take the same time to delete [06:44] it used to get deleted as soon as I pressed delete button from keyword few weeks ago [06:44] but now it doesn't [06:45] though shift+del works superfats [06:45] superfast* but that aint a solution [06:45] dr0id: move the data to ext4 [06:45] m00t: what does that mean? :P [06:46] dr0id: Can you open a terminal and run "time sync" and tell me what the value for "real" time is? [06:46] real 0m0.481s [06:46] user 0m0.000s [06:46] sys 0m0.020s [06:46] soreau: I can now log in but someone asked me to remove Nautilus; I'm getting a black screen and then back to the user interface [06:46] Jordan_U: ^^ [06:47] dr0id: the time's good i believe [06:47] latagore: user interface? You mean login screen? [06:47] soreau: Sorry about that; yes [06:47] dr0id: it means that you should backup your partition, then format with ext4 then restore the ackup [06:47] soreau: I'm not sure if removing nautilus could have been a problem* [06:48] dr0id: 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] latagore: 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] Jordan_U: the slow issue is fixed( about which I was talking few minsa ago) firefox was taking up memory, I fixed it [06:48] the issue now is related to deletion of files to trash [06:48] which has been happening since last few weeks [06:49] when I delete a file, it takes lot of time, more than 1-2 mins [06:49] soreau: I believe my computer is screwed over again :] I have a black screen from hitting ctrl alt f2 [06:49] dr0id: is it size dependent? [06:49] not at all [06:50] latagore: ugh, you didn't get a hold of those proprietary fglrx graphics drivers did you? [06:50] even 1kb file takes lot of time to delete [06:50] Hello Ubuntu [06:50] but shift+del works superfast [06:50] soreau: I haven't even heard of it :\ [06:50] soreau: I may give up and wait for the next Ubuntu release [06:50] latagore: I guess next logical step would be to boot into recovery mode and investigate [06:51] Can someone take a look here , if you have a clue please share http://bit.ly/cIG5uG [06:51] latagore: Yea might be easier for you since it sounds like you hosed this one [06:51] dr0id: may be you need dir_index on fs.How many files are in that folder?? [06:52] soreau: Thanks for the help. Trying to set up something you don't understand is too frustrating! =( Later [06:52] m00t: any file deletion takes a lot of time [06:52] hey folks, has anyone run into an issue with software raid where speeds are variable (as in, go up and down)? [06:52] this is on a new machine with 4 drives in raid5 [06:53] and ubuntu 10.04, i should note [06:54] hypatia: no [06:54] hypatia: sounds like a cache is involved. How do you test? [06:55] whosjose: if you don't know then don't answer [06:55] My sound mixer icon disappeared from my panel. My transmission bittorrent icon and battery meter also don't appear. It seems like some sort of panel that displays these sorts of icons is missing. xchat shows up, and my wireless signal meter shows up, though ... [06:55] What could cause this? [06:55] jrtayloriv: Add the "Indicator Applet" [06:55] m00t: what do you mean "like a cache is involved" [06:56] Jordan_U, Thanks :) [06:56] jrtayloriv: You're welcome. [06:56] Have a good night. [06:56] m00t: tested with sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda [06:56] m00t: multiple tests, getting widely different results [06:56] and rebuilds have gone up from 9 minutes to 50 [06:58] Disc cache, controller cache.... you have to try to disable or flush them prior to test [06:58] m00t: with software raid? [06:58] I do not know your hardware.... [06:59] m00t: in this case it's software raid, as i said :) [06:59] Try to test with iometer or at least with dd [06:59] m00t: will do [06:59] I'm connecting to the internet through a router. My girlfriend's windows computer has a flawless connection, whereas mine fails to load only certain sites, such as gmail, and can't log into msn. Is it possible ubuntu's to blame? === whosjose is now known as whosjose[busy] [07:00] It could be defective sectors that are remapped. Check also smart tools [07:01] Check dmesg and test with a differnt kernel too [07:01] asdf_baron: I would probly bet it's a DNS thing. [07:02] so what do should I do? [07:02] asdf_baron: is msn the only site that fails? [07:03] asdf_baron: check if theISP is not blocking all ICMP like the one used for path MTU discovery [07:03] anyone could help, i'm still trying to open a port for deluge, i've already set it up on the router to portforward but i still get the port closed when i check [07:03] asdf_baron: oh gmail also. do you have java installed? [07:03] m00t: already checked smart, no errors. brand new drives. [07:03] we'll try a different kernel [07:03] I think so.. It's a pretty vanilla ubuntu set up [07:03] thanks for your help, m00t [07:03] I feel like I'm having problems mostly with secure sites [07:03] they are on to you, asdf_baron [07:04] Elcome hypatia [07:04] how can I get my installed programs to show up for every user on my installation? [07:04] m00t: another canuck, i see :) [07:04] :) [07:04] asdf_baron: well google.com isn't secured. so you can do google search? [07:04] yes [07:05] i've got this error on canyouseeme.org - "Reason: No route to host" [07:05] I can access lifehacker in firefox, which doesn't log into my account automatically, but not in chromium, which does. Same goes for youtube. [07:05] If I do try to login, it just hangs infinitely [07:05] asdf_baron: I don't think java is installed on ubuntu by default [07:05] but facebook does work, oddly enough [07:06] the thing is, these websites work on other networks, which seem to indicate that my network is causing the problem. But how come all the other computers don't have the same problem? [07:06] does fsck work on ext4 filesystems? [07:07] asdf_baron: try this site http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml if that don't work you need java [07:07] What seems to not work is any type of authentication, so like logging in to various websites. [07:07] frogman: install under /usr/local/ so all can access [07:07] "Your Java is working" [07:08] asdf_baron: ok that's not it [07:08] is there anything I can test to see if authentication is broken [07:08] or maybe https? [07:09] https://www.google.com [07:09] asdf_baron: well my site has https but my cert is expired [07:09] hai all [07:10] https://google.com just redirects to normal http google [07:10] somehow facebook is the only website I can log into [07:10] Anyone running Ubuntu on Toshiba with Intel 82852/855 graphics card [07:10] * el_seano :|/part [07:10] whoops. [07:11] asdf_baron: so what is the full path of a broken site for you. [07:12] https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http://mail.google.com/mail/%3Fui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&bsv=1eic6yu9oa4y3&scc=1<mpl=default<mplcache=2 [07:12] el_seano: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1181661 [07:12] my isp's support guys like telling me I clearly have a virus. I doubt they understand when I tell them I'm running Ubuntu [07:13] asdf_baron: that page never comes up or just won't take your login. it comes up ok for me. [07:13] it just loads indefinitely [07:13] but never gets anywhere [07:13] asdf_baron: what is that a bookmark? [07:13] It gets stuck at Redirecting [07:14] no, the link is just what I get when trying to log in [07:14] but actually [07:14] now the URL is [07:14] https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth [07:14] It's just Waiting for www.google.ca, forever [07:14] ive installe xmltv-gui so how to start it? xmltv-gui says no command found [07:15] asdf_baron: how long has this been doing this? [07:15] few weeks now [07:16] But like I said, this happens exclusively on my home network [07:16] on my mac book I get unable to find meduim that contain live filesystem. I burned 10.04,i386 on dvd [07:16] whether through the router or modem, wired or wireless [07:16] But not with other computers [07:16] asdf_baron: can you ping google.ca ? [07:17] I can. [07:17] Hi all [07:17] Hi room [07:18] asdf_baron: did you try chrome ? [07:18] I've tried chromium, midori, firefox, namoroka [07:18] I doubt it's a browser issue [07:19] the odd thing is, apart from those few websites, my connection seems flawless [07:19] websites load fast, downloads are good [07:19] i downloaded xmltv-gui and cant start it using xmltv-gui, says command not found.. how to run find out how to run it? [07:20] asdf_baron: I don't understand it but you might try install bind9 [07:20] what's that? [07:20] asdf_baron: it's a dns server [07:20] Hi, 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] asdf_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 sites [07:21] so how do I setup bind9 [07:21] just install it? [07:21] asdf_baron: oh another way to test without bind9 is try change /etc/resolv.conf to a opendns address [07:21] asdf_baron: lets try opendns first [07:21] you may try with 8.8.8.8 [07:21] google's open dns [07:22] cool. [07:22] or 8.8.4.4 works better than the opendns [07:22] but right now my nameserver is 192.168.1.1 aka my router [07:22] is that right? [07:22] yes [07:22] exactly [07:23] so. should 8.8.4.4 work regardless? [07:23] asdf_baron: yes that would be correct but we will change it to 208.67.222.222 [07:23] now that I've edited resolv.conf do i need to restart any services [07:23] asdf_baron: I got that from http://www.opendns.com/ [07:24] sacarlson: solid. Now that it's edited, what's the next step? [07:24] asdf_baron: well you can test it with dig yahoo.com [07:24] asdf_baron: It is not a dns issue. Change the mtu on the eth interface to a lower value. [07:25] asdf_baron: to verify it now uses the new dns server by default [07:25] m00t: How do I change the mtu value? [07:25] and sacarlson, yaho.com works with the new dns, but gmail still doesn't [07:25] with ifconfig [07:26] does it matter that it's wlan and not eth? [07:26] asdf_baron: dig gmail.com fails? [07:26] no. [07:27] but then again, gmail.com always loaded [07:27] I just can't sign in [07:27] m00t: what do you suggest I change MTU to? It's currently set at 1500 [07:27] asdf_baron: close your browser reopen and try again. also try clear your cache [07:27] asdf_baron: MTU? what is that? [07:28] sacarlson: no clue. m00t suggested I lower its value [07:29] asdf_baron: Did "dig gmail.com" fail? (you gave two conflicting answers...) [07:30] sorry. dig gmail.com does not fail [07:30] how to list all commands so i can grep them? [07:30] http://www.dslreports.com/faq/5793 [07:30] asdf_baron: well I found out what it is and how to change it but I never needed to before. [07:31] after lowering my mtu (can't say that this is what solved it, gmail seems to be working. [07:31] asdf_baron: cool [07:31] lelle: press the tab twice [07:31] could also just be a fluke [07:31] asdf_baron: what do you use wifi? [07:31] yup [07:31] intraNut: thanks but how to grep them ? [07:31] but I've had the same problem on ethernet [07:31] asdf_baron: oh but you never tested the dns first [07:32] asdf_baron: so change that back to verify [07:32] right. [07:32] asdf_baron the problem is your isp or your router which filters icmp packets [07:32] probly my isp [07:32] what are icmp packets? [07:32] Control messages [07:33] m00t: isn't icmp only for ping echo? [07:33] also, I changed my mtu to 1000. What value would you suggest [07:33] sacarlson: No, it has other functionality. [07:33] Some icmps can be harmful some are used in pfull [07:34] ICMP ECHO and ICMP ECHO REPLY are only two types [07:34] I'm having trouble getting a DisplayLink monitor to work with Ubuntu - when I load the displaylink module, X11 crashes. [07:35] ^--- segmentation fault [07:35] m00t: deathanatos: cool case closed. so what is the default value then mine seems set at 1500. [07:35] asdf_baron http://www.dslreports.com/faq/5793 [07:35] cheers [07:36] George_e: make sure you have the latest version of the module? [07:36] report it as a bug if it's the latest [07:36] m00t: is that mtu I think it's set by the dhcp sever? [07:36] nisstyre65: I compiled it from scratch. [07:36] nisstyre65: Still nothing. [07:36] George_e: was there a special make command the README file said to use or something? [07:36] Nope it is the default for ethernet [07:37] segfault means it tried to access some part of memory it wasn't allowed [07:37] 1500 is the maximum frame size [07:37] nisstyre65: I know. I'm a programmer :) There was no README in the archive I downloaded. [07:37] ok, I'd report it then [07:38] nisstyre65: Where... Launchpad? [07:38] nisstyre65: or somewhere else? [07:38] where did you get it from? [07:38] Jumbo frames can be higher. Those are for 1g and 10g ethernet [07:38] Thanks alot for your help guys [07:39] nisstyre65: http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/displaylink-mod [07:39] Still seems like a mighty kludge of a solution. [07:41] George_e: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ [07:41] Thanks. [07:42] i'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] *know if the developers [07:42] itsux2bu: Ya, developers use cross-platform frameworks like wxWidgetd ant Qt to write the code. [07:42] itsux2bu: first of all, I think those were originall Unix utilities, secondly, the parts of the code that use the C/C++ "Standard Library" are portable [07:43] itsux2bu: *wxWidgets [07:43] parts that rely on other programs that are Unix or windows only aren't [07:44] also what George_e said [07:44] itsux2bu: 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] nisstyre65, sry.. my bad.. coming from windows world i assumed they were windows first.. sry [07:44] That's okay. [07:44] :) [07:44] itsux2bu: 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. [07:45] Sometimes 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. [07:46] Add tk too [07:46] tk, Gtk+, the list goes on... [07:46] hi, has anybody tried using winetricks in installing IE? i'm having problems with it.. [07:47] thx 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] nogienugz: try this buddy - http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-run-microsoft-internet-explorer-7-6-55-51-in-linux/ [07:47] A 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] Can you even compile a binary that will run on two different CPUs? [07:48] how do you install a .sh file [07:48] thisGuyDude: you don't, run it by doing ./somefile.sh [07:48] nisstyre65: Yes- Apple did this with "Universal binaries" - they ran on both a PPC and Intel's x86 [07:48] thisGuyDude: chmod a+x filename.sh [07:48] deathanatos: amazing [07:48] then, as nisstrye65 said, ./filename.sh [07:49] Typically, you need some sort of support or help from the OS to get this to work, but it is certainly possible. [07:49] nisstyre65, exactly.. so cross compilers applies to both hardware.. (CPU's) and software apps too.. [07:49] sorry, chmod a-x* [07:49] right? [07:49] itsux2bu: I don't know if the same term applies to both [07:50] ok.. so concepts are similar.. whatever the terms used.. [07:50] yeah [07:50] A 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 compiler [07:51] is there a way to get Ubuntu to automatically unmount removable media when I eject it from the hardware? [07:51] It's mostly a loose idea that "this compiler doesn't compile for the thing that is running it" [07:51] hi [07:52] scottf2, 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] nogienugz: can you describe the errors you're having? [07:53] good morning [07:53] wait, i've posted in a thread in ubuntu forums. lemme get the link. [07:53] I'm new with Ubuntu and I'm experimenting problem installing it on a raid1 system. === PsyTrance_ is now known as PsyTrance [07:54] Grub does not wont to install and I am not able to boot the system [07:55] Anybody can guide me ? [07:55] scottf2, there's the link for the post: ==> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1557783 [07:55] Simone: i recently had to use Lilo for booting on raid [07:56] scottf2, i also included some snapshots of that error.. [07:56] Oscillocam: can u please tell me how, or link me a guide ? [07:56] you could install grub to both devices but not md0 [07:57] hii [07:57] Look, i don't know what md0 is [07:57] that's ur raid1 device [07:57] I'm installing the last vesion of ubunt in a nvidia raid [07:58] The installation goes crrectly, but the boot wont works [07:58] aahh yeah, nvida raids dont work well [07:58] u should turn off hdwr raid and use linux software raid [07:59] mmmmmmmmmm [08:00] 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 disk [08:00] sounds like a bigger problem of hdwr support [08:01] whats an incremental search or incremental backup? [08:01] any way to try a different comp [08:01] no [08:02] maybe check ur bois for the boot order [08:02] sounds like ur bois is set to look for the wrong boot === ara_ is now known as ara [08:03] Simone_: 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. [08:04] scottf2, were you able to open the link? i'm alrealdy wondering that the error is really with wine... [08:05] itsux2bu: usually means to include files changed since last incremental bkup. [08:05] Simone_: 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] #ubuntu-it [08:05] Goodnight all [08:06] nogiengz: yes, however I am not sure what the issue might be - installing a VM is probably the best option I would say.... [08:06] what comand for enter in irc ubuntu italia? [08:06] marcello: /join #ubuntu-it [08:06] '/join #ubuntu-it [08:06] 'nite all... [08:07] scottf2,, i see.. what app for VM would you recommend? [08:08] 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 ok [08:09] scottf2, 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] I would recommend VirtualBox - free, and supports almost everything! [08:09] ok, i'll give that one a try. tnx! [08:10] no problem! :) [08:10] Simone_: Why do you have to disable the array to work with your Ubuntu install? === side is now known as Uncle_Djo [08:11] hi guys. [08:12] hello house I NEED HELP PLEASEE [08:12] how can I 'dim' display after some seconds without mouse movement. [08:12] smartnaija: just write your question. [08:12] 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 .. g [08:12] seems like backup management is an art into itself.. [08:12] hoare: I believe that's under System->Preferences->Power Management [08:12] Messed up with my GRUB2 and all files are missing cannot boot [08:12] Jordan_U: Is it more clear now ? [08:13] Simone_: Could you describe the symptoms you are seeing? [08:13] el_seano: I do not want screen to be black, I want it to decrase brightness. [08:13] smartnaija: What did you do exactly? [08:13] el_seano: oh here it is thanks [08:14] Jordan_U: Simply after install, I reboot but the system wont boot. It does only if I disable the raid from Bios. [08:14] hoare: :D [08:15] el_seano: it is written very small :P [08:15] abhinav_singh: oh I follow your blog. it is nice to see you here, nice coincidence. [08:15] Jordan_U: can't remember exactly [08:15] abhinav_singh: I'm a fan of your blog. [08:15] Simone_: Is there a reason that you want to use Fake RAID rather than regular software RAID? [08:15] but all i could say is that i was on ubuntu environment trying to update [08:16] No [08:16] So tell me what I have to do [08:16] I've burnd the alernate version of the last ubuntu [08:16] okay, 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? [08:17] DocPlatypus: Renamed on reboot? [08:17] el_seano: no, in mid-login [08:17] And I'm going to reinstall [08:17] Jordan_U: and then a menu pop up asking to update replace grub and mistakely i clicked "yes" [08:17] all of a sudden Firefox quits accepting search queries, and all sorts of bizarre things [08:17] DocPlatypus: huh. Is your home folder on a partition defined in /etc/fstab? [08:17] el_seano: /home is under /. I have just / and swap [08:17] Jordan_U: and after work, I shut down and WOAH...(grub rescue>) shows up [08:18] I'm not sure if it's the kernel doing it or some other program somewhere. but it's getting old [08:18] Jordan_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 too [08:18] hi, i have a problem with x11 forwarding under lucid server. $DISPLAY and $HOST variable are empty and i get error : cant open display -because its not set, sshd_config :x11 forwarding enabled [08:18] CAN ANYONE HELP [08:18] !helpme | smartnaija [08:18] smartnaija: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

If the installer still see the Fake RAID then press F6 at the boot menu and select "nodmraid". [08:20] ANYONE?

My laptop 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?? [08:22] yay people [08:22] any one here? [08:22] Jordan_U: explain [08:22] Jordan_U : so all I've to do is disabiling the raid in the bios and go with the normal installation, right ? [08:22] i installed windows vista on C: and Ubuntu on E: using wubi method [08:22] there are people here :D [08:23] spyketomato: Please stop using caps, extra punctuation, or anything else other than simply stating your question. [08:23] Sorry Jordan_U - just kinda freaking out ;) [08:23] I always feel Like I'm getting ignored when I come online to this channel [08:23] scottf2: lovely :) [08:24] recovered? [08:24] Simone_: You might also have to use the nodmraid option from the boot menu. [08:24] scottf2: 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] yes recovered [08:24] yo here is a legit question, is ubuntu for powerPC macs stable? [08:24] dr0id: I am not sure about this - how large is the file? Is your system low on resources? [08:24] lol, it's using 7% no :P [08:24] now* [08:24] My 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. [08:24] * dreamtraveler mera [08:24] scottf2: any file, be it 1kb or 1mb or watever [08:25] it takes a lot of time to get deleted, it used to be fast few weeks ago, but not anymore [08:25] dreamtraveler: mera ? [08:25] Jordan_U : could you exaplin me what nodmraid does ? [08:25] It's as if the hard drive is not mounting? [08:25] Maybe try a restart :) I ahve to go now, but will be back later [08:25] best of luck [08:26] scottf2: no [08:26] um sorry i did a /ame [08:26] restart also doesn't works [08:26] mera = good morning in short [08:26] it boots into BusyBox built-in shell [08:26] ok so no one here wants to talk :( [08:27] i have located a /boot on my e: drive [08:27] Simone_: 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. [08:28] what sould i do next to restore my grub2 [08:28] Jordan_U : very thanks! [08:28] Simone_: You're welcome. [08:28] why do you say its fake raid? the drives show up as raid devices in the OS [08:29] DrManhattan: No, they don't. The OS sees individual drives, and assembles the array itself. [08:29] not here on an ich10r it doesn't [08:29] DrManhattan: Then you don't have Fake RAID :) [08:32] NEED HELP i have a problem with x11 forwarding under lucid server. $DISPLAY and $HOST variable are empty and i get error : cant open display -because its not set, sshd_config :x11 forwarding enabled [08:32] this is really weird. when i change the volume with my hotkeys and i start typing shortly after, my volume randomly goes up or down [08:33] anyone experiencing the same thing? [08:33] nukme: did you use ssh -X to ssh into the machine ? [08:33] will come back later..cheers to everyone [08:33] i'm on a laptop; vaio sz330 [08:33] nice one [08:33] of course [08:33] no problem [08:33] nukme: what do you mean "no problem" [08:33] bye guys! [08:34] Hi! All [08:34] earlier i heared about AEE (Android Execution Environment) on ubuntu. [08:34] ssh -X -v says everything is working fine, but DISPLAY AND HOST variable are empty or not set [08:34] any update [08:34] ?? [08:34] I'm getting this error when installing php5-intl: php5-intl: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed [08:34] S_A: no [08:34] since long time there is not update seen. Any work still going on ?? [08:34] help with compiz [08:35] S_A: it's not developed by ubuntu [08:35] wassup maldito? [08:35] i have a lil problem with compiz [08:35] cant get it to work [08:35] nukme: so when you do echo $DISPLAY it returns null [08:35] ikonia: debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey [08:35] debug1: Next authentication method: publickey [08:35] debug1: Offering public key: /home/sascha/.ssh/id_rsa [08:35] debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 277 [08:35] debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey). [08:35] nukme: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:35] debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] [08:35] ikonia: was not it an effort by canonical ?? [08:35] you installed compizconfig-settings? [08:35] yeah i did [08:36] and you can change your desktop effects from none to normal? [08:36] ikonia: I came across this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/AndroidExecutionEnvironment [08:36] its just empty [08:36] yeah cant get them to change [08:37] $host and $display [08:37] so you don't have graphic card drivers [08:37] I think [08:37] ikonia: but it was also last update don 26th May [08:37] maldito, which graphic card do you have? [08:37] i do it was detected by ubuntu and install it automatic [08:37] S_A: so contact canonical [08:37] mmm [08:37] if i set it manually by export its not empty but still same error, cant open display [08:38] NVIDIA [08:38] so you should be able to change desktop effects [08:38] mmm [08:38] i put the recomendet one [08:38] nukme: have you restarted sshd after configuring X forwardig onthe server, have you also made sure X11 forwarding is enabled in ssh_config [08:38] I had some trouble with nvidia drivers [08:39] maybe if you try to play a little with drivers you get it [08:39] okay ill be back need to restart and do everythang agian [08:39] you installed linux-backports-...-generic? [08:39] maldito: can you run System>administration>nvidia X server settings ? [08:39] i did a server restart, a sshd restart and x11 forwarding is enables in ssh_config and sshd_config. and its not a problem with client, its working on other machines [08:39] xauth is installed [08:40] ok I have a quick question, when I open a MP3 file it opens with movie player by default instead of rhythmbox even if I tell it to do it every time, how do I fix this? [08:40] nukme: that's interesting, I'd certainly not expect DISPLAY to be empty on that [08:40] sudobat: I had problems too. I installed them but they didn't activate themselves. had to create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. [08:41] Usagi, system -> preferences -> preferred applications [08:41] yep, and there is nothing in any forum ..believe i searched in german and english nearly the whole net before coming here.. [08:41] nukme: what happens if you manually set DISPLAY [08:41] pLr, it is set to rhythmbox yet it still does it [08:41] its lucid server, there was no x installed, but i also tried to install that [08:42] this is one of the most annoying things in the world lol [08:42] Usagi, there will be a case for each file type .mp3 .wma etc.. check all types === ZNC_DoubleString is now known as DoubleString [08:42] nukme: well, having an X environment is pretty important to X11 forwarding, so thats a good thing to do [08:42] i was not sure but i tried export display localhost:0.0 and 10.0 and export display clientip:10.0 still same error [08:43] nukme, what is your error msg? === DoubleString is now known as ZNC_DoubleString [08:43] nukme: you'll need to run xhost + on the machine before that can work [08:44] i tried that aswell xhost: unable to open display "" === ZNC_DoubleString is now known as DoubleString [08:44] nukme: on the client ? [08:44] hey all [08:44] Hi, I am on Ubuntu 10.04. My daughter wants to listen to wretchedradio.com. The listen up tab opens the a new window with the address http://www.wretchedradio.com/mediaplayer.cfm# my computer opens the window and then does nothing, my daughters computer opens a new window and then a message about needing a new plugin, but it can not find it. does anyone have any advice. [08:44] * DoubleString hey all [08:44] DoubleString: you said that [08:45] the client is working, as i can connect to other machines and start for xample xclock there [08:45] I did [08:45] xhost on remote machine says that error [08:45] nukme: but if you do xhost on the client that you're connected to the "broken" server on, does it work ? [08:46] ajdrapper: my guess you need flash or java or codec try install extras https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [08:46] ajdrapper, she need windows media player 11 [08:46] jajaja [08:46] on the client host [08:46] access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect [08:46] SI:localuser:sascha [08:46] SI:localuser:gdm [08:46] SI:localuser:root [08:46] I think [08:46] ajdrapper, is java and flash installed there .. [08:46] My 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] nukme: it looks like X is broke some how on that server that question is how to take it fofrward [08:46] yeah [08:46] S4ry: We both have flash and I think java [08:47] what do i need to install a full x server? [08:47] nukme: is there any chance you can actually start an X environmnet on that server ? [08:47] ajdrapper, I'm trying on windows and it keeps saying me "Install WMP11 plugin [08:47] Jordan_U : the system now works perfect!!!!!! [08:47] nukme: the X server is broken down into multiple components, there isn't such a thing as a "full" xserver these days [08:47] the startx orxtart says that theres no display available...cause its not recognizing the graphics adapter [08:48] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. [08:48] Fatal server error: [08:48] no screens found [08:48] nukme: that's not a concern (unless you want to configure it to test it) [08:48] So , as sudobat said .. i guess it's missing a plugin for the browser ajdrapper [08:48] sudobat: humm do not understand that, but I believe it is a wms file format. [08:48] but for x11 forwarding theres no need to start the xserver on the server/remote host [08:49] yes, that website seems to need some integration with WMP11 [08:49] spyketomato: what kernel? [08:49] your sister knows about spotify [08:49] ? [08:49] ajdrapper: that site works for me with just extras installed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [08:49] nukme: correct, I was just suggesting testing it to make sure you had the X11 components you need [08:49] spyketomato: -24? [08:49] ajdrapper, 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 choice [08:49] bcbc2 - dunno, the latest i suppse [08:49] the point is that the variables are not set automatically, but whats in charge for doing that [08:49] bc [08:49] pLr: thanks [08:50] bcbc2: just updated the other day [08:50] ajdrapper, this page tries to embed windows media player & activex controls which fails [08:50] spyketomato: try the -23, I've seen some posts on problems with -24 and initramfs [08:50] pLr: it is working for me ajdrappers site. [08:51] sacarlson, which plugin are you using [08:51] bcbc2: seen any solutions? ;) [08:51] gedit 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] pLr: I'm not sure what plugins but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats is all that is installed [08:52] spyketomato: 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] sacarlson, thx ill tell ppl simply that next time :p [08:52] nobody in the phpbb irc is answering my questions, so i have resorted to asking here, first of all does anyone know anything about phpbb? [08:52] kreeper: please don't ask here, this channel is for ubuntu support only [08:52] i have some other servers/desktops where this is working [08:52] bcbc2: grub menu doesnø't show up at boot, i only get a cursor and then gdm - how to i get the grub menu to show, so that i can choose another kernel? [08:53] nukme: it sounds like just this one server has a non-complete X11 install [08:53] spyketomato: hold down SHIFT (assuming grub2) otherwise ESC [08:53] have xvid backup rips of movies want an app that will search and download the DVD covers for use on a WDTV as it displays the covers as long as they are the same as the movie name and in the same directory. [08:53] ok i'll try that [08:53] whats the minimum for x11 install? [08:53] yeah think so === LjL is now known as Guest26120 [08:54] how does one know which grub they have.. ? i'd hate to pick the wrong grub.. (joking).. [08:54] bcbc2: ok ttrying that [08:55] bcbc2: booting into 23 - the problem IS 24 thanks :) [08:55] spyketomato: great - you're welcome [08:55] isn't there something called a grub worm? [08:55] itsux2bu: this will tell you what version is running grub-install -v [08:56] hi 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] bcbc2: you KNOW you're now my best friend, right? :) [08:56] spyketomato: haha sure until something else goes wrong ;) [08:56] does grub (boot manager, right?) always install? [08:56] bcbc2: of course =) [08:56] CorpusCallosum: right click the network manager symbol on your toolbar and see if it is enabled there [08:57] !grub [08:57] grub 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] pfg, yes yes enable i checked that first :) [08:57] !grub2 [08:57] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [08:57] spyketomato: ps uninstall the -24 kernel or else you'll have to override grub each time [08:58] spyketomato: or set the default to -23 using startup-manager or something similar [08:58] CorpusCallosum: you want a static wlan0? wicd is the manager that seems to work better for me with wifi [08:58] ok.. since i am using 10.04 i have grub2 [08:58] bcbc2: done [08:58] élo [08:58] CorpusCallosum: what does your interfaces file say ? sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [08:58] sacarlson, network-manager is great [08:58] sacarlson, no i want dhcp, like normal. [08:58] pfg.. gksudo [08:59] !gksudo [08:59] If 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] CorpusCallosum: 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 way [08:59] pfg /etc/network/interface said only auto lo, but after that i added smilar lines for the eth0 and wlan0 [08:59] itsux2bu: Im asuing he has a GUI , gksudo is not needed or he can use nano :D [09:00] sacarlson: I have run the two terminal commands and the site is still not working. Do I need other codecs? any idea what? [09:00] CorpusCallosum, you should choose to have a gui setup (network-manager) or txt setup (/etc/network) [09:00] isn't gedit a graphical editor? [09:00] itsux2bu, it is [09:00] ajdrapper: what two terminal commands? [09:00] itsux2bu: yes, but if he can see a network manager symbol on his tool bar he has a GUI [09:01] [03:58] CorpusCallosum: what does your interfaces file say ? sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces <<-- should be gksudo gedit... [09:01] pLr, my choice is gui, but it seems not working, then i try to find out something different like /network/interface [09:01] sacarlson: from the page about Restricted formats [09:01] !gksudo [09:01] itsux2bu: why ? [09:01] ajdrapper: 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-extras [09:02] CorpusCallosum, then you should remove what you added to /etc/network/interfaces and work with the networking icon to add a profile [09:02] itsux2bu, pfg auto lo,iface lo inet loopback,auto eth0,iface eth0 inet dhcp,auto wlan0, iface wlan0 inet dhcp [09:02] ajdrapper, it is likely a firefox plugin by vlc or mplayer doing this [09:02] using just sudo in a the graphical desktop is dangerous [09:02] pLr, i also tried to remove that file and restart the service again but not working [09:02] ajdrapper, look for that if you want the integration [09:03] sacarlson terminal reports that restricted-extras is already the newest version. but reched radio is still not playing. [09:03] !gksudo [09:03] pLr, do not remove the file, you should put it back with its default contents and restart the service again [09:03] how do i start compiz fusion? [09:03] Sacarlson: do not worry if you are bussy. [09:03] ajdrapper: did you close and reopen all browsers first? [09:03] Yes. [09:03] CorpusCallosum: if using gui/network manager auto lo # iface lo inet loopback # auto eth0 #=space [09:03] ajdrapper: if that fails try reboot [09:04] sacarlson: ok thanks [09:04] CorpusCallosum, looks good, now edit connections on your networking icon === aperson is now known as APERSON === eero_n is now known as CptPicard [09:05] CorpusCallosum, choose the wireless tab, then add and configure your wlan0 [09:05] i see we have a STNG fan in here [09:06] Hello. Please, advice RSS reader which can replace desktop wallpapers. Gnome/10.04 [09:07] pLr, no way :) still not connecting [09:07] Llama: there isn't one [09:08] Llama: you want a live RSS reader feading across your desktop INSTEAD of wallpapers ? just use screenlets instead [09:08] CorpusCallosum: you restarted networking ? [09:08] pfg, yes sure [09:09] hello [09:09] CorpusCallosum, typically ppl forget to enter a default route, but did you left click the icon and choose the connection you added? what happens [09:09] CorpusCallosum: try re-booting, but make sure your interfaces file has everything commented out except what I wrote [09:09] CorpusCallosum: maybe time to go with command line one at a time till you get something to work. like ping your router? [09:10] hello nsar [09:10] hello S4ry [09:10] how y do :) [09:11] pfg, there is only "auto lo" in the interfaces file right? all others will be commented out ? [09:12] CorpusCallosum: I beleave that is correct just auto lo [09:12] ok i am trying :) [09:12] not so well i solve the problem with the totem for encrypted (css) dvd's but i still can't understand why when i logon as another user i can't see my gsm modem in the network manager, should i ask help in the forum of ubuntu? [09:12] i put ubuntu to avoid putting centos again [09:13] so many problems [09:13] CorpusCallosum: iface lo inet loopback as well I belive should be there [09:14] i am experienced with redhat based linux distros but i am new in debian like [09:14] pfg: opps I think he went and rebooted already sorry [09:15] nsar: try loggin on as an admin and under mobile broadband select avalible to all users at the bottom [09:15] Need help with PHP/INTL installation problems php5-intl: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed [09:15] sacarlson: he's all yours : ) [09:16] pfg: you were doing fine [09:16] pfg, i did only to me appear the connection no one else [09:16] on default 10.04 installation, if i run a program on the user created at setup, will it be able host a server? //listen to a tcp port [09:16] i mean me is nsar the first user i had created, also the privileges is all open for my user account [09:16] anyone know where to get the 10.04.01 or whatever Dell ISO? [09:16] !dell [09:16] nsar: err, misunderstood then, you do NOT want it avalible to other users who are not using your log on and are not admin or you DO ? [09:16] didn't work [09:16] Hello there, folks. Can someone spare a minute to help me out changing bootsplash picture in Ubuntu maverick. I have a picture prepared. I've done this before on a live ubuntu jaunty, but I'm having dificlties now. [09:17] !dell Sucks [09:17] pfg, i guess is maybe a miss configuration or bug of nm-applet [09:17] didn't work either :D [09:17] !sure does wont buy from them again , got majorly raped [09:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:17] oh ok [09:17] hah ! [09:17] I could have got a 3x better machine than what I paid for this [09:18] and I wouldn't be making these upgrades now [09:18] i have no problem with dell :) [09:18] but that's another channel [09:18] Hans_Henrik: that doesnt really make sense, your computer hosts a server, you download server software to run on your server? [09:19] pfg, i want all user to open the connection when they login for example my daughter, she don't see on nm applet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX PANU and connect under even though is available for all users [09:20] nsar: weird, try loggin inas admin and changing her user rights to admin as well, then login as her and see if it avalible, it should remain avalible after you remove her rights [09:20] my firefox installation is messed up [09:20] Need help with PHP/INTL installation problems php5-intl: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed [09:20] i need help reinstalling it [09:20] joljam: ok [09:20] joljam: sudo apt-get remove firefox? [09:20] when i reinstal it using synaptic then it bombs [09:21] earthmeLon: why php ? what system are you installing out of intrest [09:21] joljam: mestup in fail-safe also? [09:21] just a moment [09:21] joljam: what does bombs mean] [09:21] I'm sorry, pfg? [09:21] earthmeLon, why don't you install php5-common? [09:21] php5-common is installed sudobat [09:21] earthmeLon, run: sudo apt-get install [09:21] earthmeLon: Your installing php on your system, I was wondering why [09:22] mickster04: yes i suppose so. i don't got sudo access, can i still run some server software? [09:22] pLr tried that. Nothing [09:22] pfg It's a web-server [09:22] mickster04.. I have remove firefox as per ur instructions [09:22] Can someone help me out changing boot logo on live usb stick (Ubuntu Maverick Merkat done with Live usb creator and permanent storage). I've done it before following this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=43247&highlight=change+boot+logo but now it is different and I'm stuck :/ [09:22] when i click the icon firefox just sttarts up and the exits [09:23] earthmeLon, this is when you install php-intl? [09:23] Hans_Henrik: well i dont know, you can try and start say apache but i doubt it will work. wat kind of server is it.? I don't think so actually becuase you normally do sudo service apache start (or whatever server you're running) so it's not a program as such [09:23] earthmeLon: ah, what does sudo apt-cache search php-common show ? [09:23] earthmeLon, which version of php-common is installed [09:23] pfg, it is ubuntu 10.04 lts the version of the os [09:23] joljam: and? [09:24] sudobat Im not sure how to give you that info [09:24] mickster04 what shd i do know [09:24] joljam: when you then do sudo apt-get install firefoc [09:24] Hans_Henrik: you can run the Wonderful Plone4 locally, best web CMS/server in the world [09:24] after removing [09:24] how annoying is it not that of three oses that I have to install two of them takes a day to get working, the last one takes an hour [09:24] pfg. It shows libapache2-mod-suphp and suphp-common [09:24] ? [09:24] joljam: did you try this from a terminal /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode [09:24] I don't know but maybe php-common -V ? [09:24] earthmeLon: what webserver are you installing [09:25] earthmeLon, what pkg? php-intl? [09:25] yes [09:25] php5-intl: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed [09:25] .mozilla/firefox/firefox-safe-mode: No such file or directory [09:25] earthmeLon: try using aptitude [09:25] So, I think that I have 5.3.2-1ubuntu4 but it's looking for 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 or the other way around [09:26] !plymouth [09:26] joljam: so did using the termina to install it help? [09:26] :/ [09:26] pfg i give administrative rights nm-applet doesn't appear on the top panel at all [09:26] lmao pfg. You might have gotten it [09:26] joljam: sound like the wrong path maybe justtry firefox -safe-mode [09:26] !pm | joljam [09:26] joljam: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first.

[09:31] Need help changing plymouth-theme on live usb system. HELP please. [09:31] joljam: might work [09:31] Can the Ubuntu DVD be used to check whether a computer supports UEFI without actually attempting to install Ubuntu?

After googling and asking friends, I've had to give up and come here to seek help: How is sshd started during reboot on 10.04 LTS? 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] when I lose the wireless connection and evolution is still open, performing fetching email tasks, evolution freezes. And can't be closed. [09:35] Nim_, you could plug a mouse to test maybe? [09:35] and then I get this bad feeling, because I issue "killall evolution" [09:35] .... [09:36] Panic: normally yes? sshd should be started everytime the computer starts up [09:36] worked , AWESOME thank you guys [09:36] true, but i was hoping to avoid the system setting it to false in the first place on sleep - but no one seems to have a work around :D hehe [09:36] (thank you tho) [09:36] Yes. I'd like that :-) But how can I check that it actually will be? This is a server half way around the globe, so I want to make sure ssh actually IS brought up when I reboot it :-) [09:36] Panic, it will start automatically when you install openssh-server [09:37] hmm. should I install ubuntu as the main OS on my hd2? [09:37] Panic, it is listed in /etc/init.d/ and can be looked up with the service command [09:37] Panic: well short of rebooting it and finding out :P f you installed it and haven't changed much since it will automatically start up [09:37] i do have to admit having 'desk 1 - 4' built into gnome.. is cool.. with windows you have to find a 3rd-party utilitiy.. [09:37] ssh-server is installed. I'm on my server. I just want to make **sure** that it's configured to start when I reboot. And I cant find out where to check that since there are no symlinks in the rc dirs... [09:38] Nim_, there is always a workaround with open source === master21 is now known as john24 [09:38] Panic: well now you know to look in etc/init.d/ [09:38] (This is a server at serverpronto, so instead of just assuming it will start, I want to make sure... ) [09:38] true. ill keep my eyes open (but for now its bed time) .. thx plr. [09:39] Nim_ ill help u fix it if im around [09:39] Earlier you'd find symlings in /etc/rc* to /etc/init.d/ssh, but not anymore it seems. So what determines how stuff starts up now with the "startup" thingy taking over for "old init"? [09:39] !gksudo [09:39] If 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) [09:39] hai all [09:40] i have this comp that uses a TI ACX111 wireless card [09:40] i think i am missing drivers [09:40] getting them off here: http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/ACX [09:40] but they don't seem to compile [09:40] anybody have any help/advice? [09:40] Hi, I can't get Lucid to boot any more, gives a warning, 'Ubuntu using low resolution mode', could not determine your screen settings, use manual set up. [09:41] !one line | junkbot[desktop]: [09:41] !details | junkbot[desktop] [09:41] junkbot[desktop]: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:41] junkbot[desktop]: and keep it all one one line! [09:42] k sorry; do you want me to do it again? [09:42] DaveSiberia: so you can, but it uses low resolutions [09:42] pfg nm-applet run only in both user but only when one of them is connected, and there is no mobile broadband connections available to any one except me the first created user [09:42] junkbot[desktop]: just tell us whats being output in errors that makes you think its not working [09:42] i can't connect and when i try to compile it it gives me standard C errors [09:42] run's in only on of the two users* [09:43] run's in only one of the two users* [09:43] sorry for the mistakes [09:43] salut [09:43] !fr [09:43] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [09:44] junkbot[desktop]: copy pastebin? [09:44] nsar: it is/should be running connected or not, if the mobile broadband available to all users box is ticked it should work for all users, create a new user and try with them, see if it is the user or the system that is screwed up [09:44] mickster04: sure [09:44] then it will start asking about a keyring password that i don't know which one is [09:45] mickster04:It won't let me, gives me a dialog box with several choices none of which work, except command line [09:45] when a bash script crashes [09:45] Can 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] is there a place that ubuntu logs the reasons ? [09:45] _bugz [09:45] ubunt [09:45] nsar: ah, you need to reset that [09:45] how? [09:45] Panic, /etc/rc* still exists [09:45] mickster04: http://pastebin.com/ZunpxANK [09:45] Panic: rcconf man, it normally determines it in update-rc.d, but use rcconf its easier.. and make sure its configged properly [09:46] or to stop asking keyring password at all [09:46] Panic: 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] Sure 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] Panic, i would suggest editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config before your reboot [09:46] All that is done :-) [09:47] Panic, and testing it [09:47] The 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 hai [09:47] Panic: use rcconf, its a good program [09:47] I just trusting that "it will be" is not an option :-) [09:48] k, will look into that. [09:48] nsar: if only, mv ~/.gnome2/keyrings default.keyring file somewhere else, then create a new key [09:48] Panic: i have installed ubuntu 10.04 with openssh-server around 30 times this week, they all reboot fine when installed from cd [09:48] junkbot[desktop]: sounds like the libraries are duff [09:49] rcconf is deprecated [09:49] its results are not accurate [09:50] acidflash: 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] mickster04: anything i could do to fix it? [09:50] Junkbot: i dunno, it's beyond me, short of rewriting it.... [09:51] Panic, the install of openssh-server would be unsuccessful for u to have a prob [09:52] Panic, /etc/init/ssh.conf has information you might be seeking [09:52] Panic, i would suggest you dont panic Panic :p [09:52] Ok, let me rephrase my question then: If a service isn't "listed" (linked to) in any of the rc directories, and it still starts. What then, makes them start? :-) [09:53] hi [09:53] Panic, /etc/init/ssh.conf [09:53] can anyone help me here? [09:53] !ask [09:53] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:53] Yeah, I've looked at /etc/init/ssh.conf, but hasn't figured out what's using it, if it's being used.

[09:54] Panic, the explanation is extremely long Panic, I would explain but its too much for this channel. [09:54] Right now I don't know what brings up ssh when I boot the box, and not knowing what does what on my box groups me together with a bunch of ppl I'd rather not be affiliated with: Windows users :-p [09:54] Panic, but to sum it up, your system runs that conf file [09:55] pLr: Ok, thanks. Do you know some keywords I can search for to find this explanation online? :-) [09:55] Panic, run: man init [09:56] anyone?

[09:57] How 2 hack IP addres [09:57] Panic, sry init was replaced by upstart [09:57] can tell me === iphone is now known as Guest62609 [09:58] So 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] i want to patch the drivers for aircrack, i have the patch file, what do i need to do next? [09:58] * Dimazaur IS ASKING IF ANYONE HERE CAN HELP HIM?????? [09:58] Yeah, I know, but the process is still called init if I'm not mistaken. (And "man init" gives "init - Upstart process management daemon", so I guess that is upstart.) [09:59] He is also shouting... [09:59] i need a help [09:59] ? [09:59] Anybody is there? [09:59] Panic, you seem to have answered yourself :p [09:59] all your base are belong to us [09:59] Good! [10:00] So thanks a lot :-) Now I can happily restart my server :-D [10:00] (I never thought of running "man init" myself.) [10:01] no one on this channel is helping...

[12:07] Normally it's possible to hold the backspace key (or other any other applicable key) down, in order to remove multiple characters in quick manner. But here I have to press the backspace key over and over again, for it to do it's job. Is this a hardware problem or not? And is there a way to fix it? [12:07] so all the older "32 bit" apps work fine? [12:07] preferably I'd have a package instead of updating manually [12:07] dont worry, most people that have a 64-bit cpu here use the 64-bit version [12:07] hi when i install k3b i get an error saying 'require installation of untrusted packages'.

[12:10] i tried wget options, docs but no solution :S [12:10] 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 forever [12:11] erUSUL: And by forever I mean "since 2009", and by broken I mean "can't export and then import the same branch" [12:11] lvh`: well mabe there is no much intrerest in that package? or maybe is not that broken ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:20] Izinucs - thanks.. another thing.. is there a general way of installing applications on ubuntu? OTHER THAN using repos? for example I downloaded tightvnc and I have NO IDEA what to do with it [12:20] I have created .cifscredeintials file [12:20] Guest29041: try restarting the deamon... sudo service smbd restart [12:20] Help: getting "kernel-provided name 'dm-0' and NAME='/mapper/linux-root' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change the kernel to provide the proper name" when booting nad the boot stalls [12:20] Naznaz, https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/home.do [12:20] an ongoing problem with 2 desktop I have here is that GRUB takes forever to load and sometimes does not load at all ... several hard resets later GRUB will actually come around ... this is on two desktops with fresh installes of 10.04 fully updated [12:20] enzotib, i did already. i still get the error.

[12:22] Kingsy: 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 etc [12:23] http://www.mattvanstone.com/2007/11/automatically-mounting-windows-smb-shares-in-ubuntu-v3/ [12:23] is the guide I followed and it worked a treat on my karmic install fore ever and now Ive made a lucid partition it just wont play [12:23] Izinucs - ok.. so.. say I wanted to install tightvnc as an example.. how would I first check if thats in the repos? or if I could add it? [12:24] enzotib, pastebin http://pastebin.com/65xqTekF [12:24] I have created the /root/.cifscredentials fiel [12:24] Kingsy: you are on Ubuntu / gnome right? or kde? [12:24] is there any command which can lock the X screen (via ssh)? [12:25] Izinucs - see thats another thing.. I am on ubuntu but what is the difference between gnome and kde?

Already tried a reboot? [12:27] Naznaz, works in wondows firefox [12:28] Naznaz, never worked at citicard website [12:28] enzotib, now i'm getting this error Package dependencies cannot be resolved. i think it is not possible to install KDE software in gnome!! [12:28] skumara, it is possible [12:29] enzotib, how? This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time. [12:29] Kingsy: You're on the high curve of learning this stuff.. here's a great beginning reference for you to download. It'll get you up and running in lots of areas. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ I may get flamed for this but.. gnome/kde/xfce4/lxde and many others are desktop managers.. basically what you actually are looking at on the screen even though that is really made up of a couple of different systems.. Windows gave you one look/desktop.. Li [12:29] itsux2bu, hm sorry than I've no idea left :( [12:30] Naznaz, can i unistall them? [12:30] itsux2bu, flash plugin? Sure [12:31] itsux2bu, you might also try chrome or opera [12:31] sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin ? [12:31] skumara: what are you trying to install exactly? [12:31] Izinucs, k3b. [12:32] sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer ? [12:32] skumara: I've *never* had an issue installing that on gnome or anywhere else.. sudo apt-get install k3b.. [12:32] and sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin [12:32] yes [12:32] or via the ubuntu software manager [12:32] (don't know the exact name :p) [12:32] --purge ? [12:33] deletes the downloaded install files from the system afaik [12:33] Izinucs - thanks I will give that a read [12:33] if you just remove and then reinstall it uses the same install file again [12:33] afaik :p [12:33] Izinucs, enzotib i have pastebin the exact error in terminal. have a look http://pastebin.com/1cfSHnZb [12:33] itsux2bu, purge option completely removes a files for a package including config.files. without purge config files are left [12:34] <`marianne`> personally i just delete /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb every so often... hehe [12:34] `marianne`: you should use apt-get clean or autoclean instead [12:35] Izinucs, 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] `marianne`: read the man page [12:35] skumara: 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 issues [12:37] <`marianne`> looks like apt-get clean does pretty much the same as i was doing, but at least it's a shorter command hehe [12:37] Kingsy: You'll find that once you start getting use to linux you can do so much more... easier.. [12:37] `marianne`: no... [12:38] `marianne`: "It removes everything but the lock file from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/" [12:38] <`marianne`> jrib, well, yeah, i guess my method doesn't clean out partial, but otherwise... [12:38] `marianne`: "It removes everything but the lock file ..." [12:38] Izinucs, i still get the same error! [12:38] `marianne`: "... but the lock file ..." [12:38] Izinucs - well I have been using it for a while now and I find I can do everyday things quite easily but there is still questions that I have no idea about.. LIKE.. what is gnome how to install apps.. where those apps are kept and in what format.. etc etc.. [12:39] really basic things.. which is annoying.. hehe [12:39] `marianne`: anyway, just use that :) [12:39] <`marianne`> jrib, and rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb doesn't remove the lock file either hehe [12:39] !manual | Kingsy [12:39] Kingsy: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [12:40] `marianne`: fair enough, it's still a good idea to use the command written to do it [12:40] heya... [12:40] Dr_Willis - yea I am looking at it now [12:40] Kingsy: i just saw a review of a new Ubuntu book also.. let me find it. [12:40] Kingsy: in the Windows world we're use to going out on the net for programs to do things.. I do that in linux only for reference to what I want then look in the package manager.. System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager and see if it's there.. tightvnc is there.. [12:40] Does the ubuntu install from within windows make a partition for you, or does it install it on th C drive as another program? [12:40] <`marianne`> jrib, probably, if only for reasons of brevity :) [12:41] Review: The Official Ubuntu Book -----> http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/153159?rdf [12:41] HeTaL: it installs to a file on th windows drive. Thats how 'wubi' works. [12:41] Fail. [12:41] HeTaL: it shows up in the add/remove stuff as another program [12:41] `marianne`: and race conditions I guess? [12:41] Well, I was installing ubuntu, and it didn't give me the option to partition my drive. [12:41] not through windows. [12:41] HeTaL: be a bit more verbose and concuise... 'fail' tells me bvery little [12:41] Kingsy: of course Applications>Internet> Remote Desktop Viewer might allow you to connect to a vnc enabled machine... [12:42] http://pastebin.com/0R58sQEL [12:42] anyone? [12:42] HeTaL: you booted the CD? or ran some program from teh cd within windows?

[12:42] booted from the CD [12:42] !ot > Keal [12:42] Keal, please see my private message [12:42] Dr_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] HeTaL: then the installer should of walked you through repartioning.resizeing the hard drive. [12:42] Izinucs - ^^^ sorry that message was meant for you === Dynamic_Fail is now known as Jinxed- [12:43] Dr_Willis: sounds like HeTaL did a wubi install === ganderson-afk is now known as ganderson [12:43] Izinucs: yes.. but he also said he booted the cd.. so somthing is confused here === rick_ is now known as fdm391 [12:43] Hi [12:43] Dr_Willis: yep === fdm391 is now known as auspex [12:43] I really hate wubi... [12:44] G'day Everyone [12:44] Kingsy: there are several vnc-ish programs to choose from.. doesn't always have to be tightvnc [12:44] Dr_Willis: I'll second that [12:44] Izinucs: 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] Sorry to leave that out. [12:44] Izinucs - 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? [12:45] Meh, I never used wubi. Great gateway into linux for new people though. === Tiders- is now known as Tiders [12:45] Kingsy: either.. they both make calls to dpkg .. [12:45] HeTaL: 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] have a question on vpn setup on ubuntu 10 [12:46] HeTaL, did you use the live cd or the alternate install cd? [12:46] Dr_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.

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] HeTaL: you can select automatic, and it will resize and make a / and swap - i recall. Or you can do it manual how you like. [12:48] sorry! [12:48] !es | jxajro_ [12:48] jxajro_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [12:48] HeTaL, well the alternate cd is not as "friendly" and doesn't do as much for you automagically [12:48] HeTaL: i have also used windows to resize the windows HD leavbing part of the HD Unallocated.. anbd teh installer sees/uses that [12:48] Dr_Willis: I don't see an automatic option :P [12:48] Sorry sorry! I have not realysed... [12:48] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I was going to do that. [12:48] @jxjairo creio que prefira #ubuntu-br [12:48] Last similar pastebin caused China to damn near firebomb Google out of their country. [12:48] HeTaL: you using the alternative cd? Ive not used that in ages [12:48] Keal, stop that [12:49] It 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] Izinucs - 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] can anyone help [12:50] Kingsy: what's your goal with vnc? do you want to use another machine and log into your ubuntu box? [12:50] 1 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' [12:51] Kingsy: or are you trying to connect from ubuntu to another machine ? [12:51] Izinucs - yup ... I have it running on windows (the server) as a test (so I can log onto that machine) and you run it and set the ip address of the machine and the username and password etc === kad_ is now known as help` [12:52] can anyone help [12:52] !ask | morningsunshine [12:52] morningsunshine: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:53] Izinucs - then you set it to run on startup and it sits in the tray [12:53] ok zzzed [12:53] Kingsy: 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] been trying it out for last few days but no soln === Guest29041 is now known as rileyp [12:55] Izinucs - 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] Kingsy: if you want to remote into the ubuntu box then look at System>Preferences>Remote Desktop ... there are lots of ways to remote into a machine.. [12:55] can i delete my source list and create new source list? [12:55] skumara: i would move it/rename it. [12:55] Kingsy: not all programs/packages are gui based.. the vncserver package you installed probably isn't [12:55] Izinucs - yea I will check it out.. [12:56] skumara: most new sources should be put in files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [12:56] Izinucs - ah right.. so how would I check if its running? [12:56] using a cmd or something? [12:56] Is it possible to disable the F1 shortcut from launching the help? [12:56] Kingsy: from a terminal ... pidof tightvncserver [12:57] ah ok.. yea it isnt running [12:57] Kingsy: or if you have the "system monitor" running in a task bar you could look there. [12:58] Dr_Willis, after mv source list, how to create new source list? [12:58] Izinucs - hmm I don't get this app.. nevermind [12:59] its going weird things.. hehe [12:59] morningsunshine: trying what out? [12:59] Kingsy: which one? [12:59] skumara: its a text file... use a text editor [12:59] Izinucs - tightvnc (I know you said to use the ubuntu one) and I will I am just messing around [13:00] Kingsy: k [13:00] everytime I run it, it says.. New X desktop is "blah:blah" [13:00] Izinucs - and I get the ubuntu startup noise [13:01] but then when I do pidof tightvncserver it returns nothing [13:01] Kingsy: :) ... 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 screen [13:01] Kingsy: you checked the logs in .vnc ? [13:01] philinux trying to connect vpn [13:01] Dr_Willis - no, it said it printed something out in there tho [13:02] morningsunshine: cant help with that sorry. [13:02] I'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] What 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 be [13:02] Kingsy: the blah:blah part is what might be interesting.. what did it say? [13:02] philinux np Thnx [13:02] linuxmachine: what are you trying to do ? [13:03] linuxmachine: build the package ? apt-get build-dep [13:03] Izinucs - it was the name of my pc.. ermm Mexico:Linux (which is what I called it) [13:03] hehe and no my computer isnt in mexico :P [13:03] erUSUL: I don't want the dependencies needed for compilation, but just the dependencies needed for installation [13:03] screw it I have removed it anyways [13:04] Kingsy: 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. :) [13:05] hi, how can I get from command line which version of ubuntu it is? for ex. lucid or karmic [13:05] erUSUL: 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 system [13:06] Izinucs - that sounds really cool man! [13:06] Dr_Willis - did you find that ubuntu book? [13:06] Kingsy: i pasted a url to the review [13:06] linuxmachine: dunno sorry [13:06] Review: The Official Ubuntu Book -----> http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/153159?rdf [13:06] I wonder if there is a book I could buy for CHEAP, I find e-books very difficult to read [13:06] thanks [13:07] Kingsy: take them to work and print out ethe ebook :) [13:07] !version | SkyNetMaster [13:07] SkyNetMaster: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [13:07] hehe yea could do [13:09] Kingsy: barns and noble, amazon, your local Fry's if there is one.. will all have ubuntu books [13:09] jrib, I need only code name, in order to automatically add correct repo in source.list [13:09] SkyNetMaster: so check possible switches to lsb_release (hint: -c) [13:09] SkyNetMaster: its shown in lsb_release -a [13:09] jrib, I need only code name, in order to automatically add correct repo in source.list, I saw c but the return variable need parsing [13:10] SkyNetMaster: that was only a hint. Keep reading the help. (hint: -s) [13:10] hi everyone [13:11] jrib, thanxs [13:11] Izinucs - see ideally I would like to find a sorta reference book (like o reilly for programming) that would take me from easy stuff to advanced stuff [13:11] so I would only need to ever buy one book :) [13:11] +i [13:11] Kingsy: you never need only 1 book.. :) [13:12] hehe you know what I mean.. 1 book to give me a goood footing [13:12] hi all is there anyway in to just swap one screen when you have dual monitor ?

I am doing by sudo echo "deb http:/// ... " >> /etc/apt/source.list but getting permission denied. what can be the reason [13:25] shleda: someone will charge you to do the printing unless you do it yourself.. then it will cost you the ink. [13:26] shleda: watch out for the real cheap Tee-shirt iron-ons also.. some dont work very well. [13:26] thanks [13:26] SkyNetMaster: sudo does not cross IO redirection operators. use the form of: echo "foo" | sudo tee -a /path/to/bar [13:26] !pm | dv__ [13:26] SkyNetMaster: thats a 'sudo faq/issue' when using >>> redurectionb with sudo you HAVE To use the tee command also [13:26] dv__: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [13:26] hmm, Izinucs and Dr_Willis thanks for pointing, but still the question will Canonical sue me if I print Ubuntu logo on my shirt [13:26] SkyNetMaster: Alternatively, you could use add-apt-repository [13:27] shleda: you are being a bit paranoid... [13:27] may be I can print more than one shirt, just to gift it to others [13:27] SkyNetMaster: one normally does NOT add new entries to the sources.list - if its a 3rd party repository, you should make a file for it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [13:28] Iokay [13:28] Dr_Willis, ok, looking into tee [13:28] shleda: If you're worried then you should contact Ubuntu's legal team. http://www.ubuntu.com/legal [13:28] Dr_Willis: shleda it's actually a good question.. can you use the ubuntu logo on shirts, hats etc and sell them? I think the licensing says yes.. but I really don't know. [13:28] Pici, add-apt-repository supports only ppa? [13:28] shleda: If you're not selling the shirts, then you should be ok. [13:29] SkyNetMaster: It should support any repository. [13:29] I am not going to sell T-Shirts hats or stickers, I will just distribute them, thats it [13:30] shleda: See the 'permitted use' part of the trademark policy: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy its rather intuative for legalese.

[16:45] jellow: I think now I should try to get in touch with my ISP so that they can gave some light on this issue from their end [16:45] did they ever consider to make the kill switch for gdm only? [16:45] because i find the window managers always restart x when they lose it apparently [16:45] so these panel bars in gnome.. they can be attached any side and be whatever thickness you like.. and each panel can have its own thickness.. but they can't float.. [16:45] have an great time ahead .. c u soon jellow :) [16:45] SixThreeOh: you can restart e17 without killing X, but that's an exception I guess [16:46] Are there any BIOS options I can disable to improve the boot-up? I've been moving an EXT4 drive between PC's and it lags on ACPI irq 9. I read that this was for Windows and unnecessary for Ubuntu. Any thought?

[16:47] how do you add "desks" to gnome? [16:47] SmallR200: File permissions... :/ No, you can't make it fat [16:47] it's puppy i'm trying to load [16:47] can anyone tell me where to change the login in 10.04 from that user-chooser type to the enter username/pass type? the comp has too many users, lol [16:47] sortanoob: You can use gdm2setup for that [16:48] commands i used were something like "loopback loop (hd0,5)/path/to/iso" [16:48] theadmin: I'll look there thanks! [16:48] "chainload loop/isoloader.bin" [16:48] theadmin, i was guessing that, had this naive idea that i might be able to if i asked nicely ;) [16:48] i can't remember the exact name of the bootloader file [16:48] what package do I need to install to get a usable version of gnome? [16:49] SixThreeOh, ubuntu-desktop [16:49] with programs in the applications menu other than sound recorder [16:49] SixThreeOh: Huh? Ubuntu comes with it. But if you want to do so from another desktop, you can install the ubuntu-desktop package [16:49] wat is the use of "swap" memory?

[17:53] so if i m givin command like pranav 172.0.0.1 den it will work like pin [17:53] not me [17:53] j2daosh: TZ="[timezone here]" date [17:53] sry.. prakriti, typo [17:53] pranav: alias pranav=ping [17:53] no worries :) [17:53] :D [17:53] Dr_Willis: when i press cntrl + alt + f1 (through f6) nothing seems to happen, maybe because cntrl + alt is vmware keystroke to stop mouse capture? [17:54] that doesn't work [17:54] haha kids these days "i want a command that is named after me and does what ping does" haha [17:54] Anyone have experience troubleshooting obscure Glade issues? (The likely channels have failed to produce any helpful responses) [17:54] chris_osx: "cp" would resolve that issue [17:54] flan: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [17:54] mib: you can hit some key to show the grub menu. then you can change it for a one time 'boot' - theres alwo says to get to the consoles in vmware (i dont use it) or ssh in and edit the /etc/default/grub settingsm, or disable the gdm service [17:54] chris_osx: maybe it will be easier change name to ping :))) [17:54] :D [17:55] deathanatos: i did `date;TZ="MST";date;unset TZ;date and got the same time for all the dates [17:55] mib: check the vmware docs thers some way to send an alt-ctrl-f1 to vmware [17:55] lol [17:55] sounds to me as if pranav was given an assigment in school/college/university to "create" a ping command.. he wants to cheat by looking at the original source code.. but i could be wrong [17:55] j2daosh: TZ="MST" date [17:55] No semi [17:55] itsux2bu: lets move on from it please. [17:55] How to you change the permissions on a windows file share mounted in ubuntu. I can not write to the mounted share in ubuntu from a regular user [17:55] That tells bash to set the environment variable "TZ" to "MST" and run date [17:55] jrib, formatting it into a single line will be... difficult. It involves catalogues and path-resolution, and the problem's only apparent after a fair amount of exposition. [17:55] Dr_Willis: hmmm i'm not sure i have ssh running, does it run by default? [17:55] might as well save time & cp ping to $myname [17:55] mib: no [17:55] SPM_: I think prnav: is going to school his teacher gave them an assignment to make something like ping in c+ code. I feel sorry for his teacher. [17:55] chris_osx: ikonia: actually 'alias' was specifically made to do that and more [17:55] The change only lasts for date though [17:56] flan: it's probably not appropriate for this channel then. If you've tried the gtk and glade channels, maybe try forums and mailing lists [17:56] Dr_Willis: what would the ip address i would ssh be? [17:56] it doesn't work with ?DT though [17:56] MDT/EDT/CDT/etc [17:56] mib: its your system.. i dont know. [17:56] So, `TZ="Japan" date` outputs "Wed Sep 1 01:53:58 JST 2010" for me. [17:56] Dr_Willis: ha k === dad_ is now known as Guest10800 [17:56] sacarlson, i'm think same thot [17:56] jrib, fair enough. Just thought I'd ask for a casual expert before switching venues. [17:57] deathanatos: try it with MDT or CDT [17:57] i have tried all kinds of stuff to get burn to work but nothing gets it done.. I have looked to google.and tried some fixes but still not working [17:57] sacarlson: LOL, in that case he should just copy the source and move the functions around or something [17:57] hey all just wondering is it possible to create a bootable virtual machiene from a windows install that is already installed and if so can i still boot into said windows install if I don't want to run it in a vm in ubuntu? [17:57] Dr_Willis: can i press some key combo on startup to load grub menu? [17:57] mneptok: ping [17:57] Any evdev-expert who can help me out with this: http://pastebin.com/SXuYra6A [17:58] ;> [17:58] mib: shift key [17:58] * wasob wonders if co-founders of websites actually pay to becomes VIP's (sorry, off-topic) [17:58] mib: i dont use vmware.. on a normal install its 'shift' [17:58] mib: i always edit grub on a normal install so it always shows the menu [17:58] hi is this the vartoons support channel [17:58] cartoons [17:59] Tater: VirtualBox can boot real partitions but I suspect you'll have driver issues if you boot it back on real hardware [17:59] Professor_G: no, thats #warnerbrothers [17:59] Guest10800: Try a diffent disk burner program like k3b perhaps? [17:59] j2daosh: MDT and CDT don't appear to be valid timezones on my machine... you'll want something from /usr/share/zoneinfo [17:59] Dr_Willis: ah nice its control + alt + space, release space, press f1 [17:59] ilove so its one or the other eh [17:59] Dr_Willis: so now i am in control + alt + f1, then what? [17:59] mib: i dont use vmware.. and never plan on using it.. :) [17:59] j2daosh, not a channel [17:59] mib: you at the grub menu now? or the console? [18:00] Dr_Willis: i think the console? [18:00] just console [18:00] Tater, real hardware and virtualbox are 2 difference hardware environments [18:00] so kill gdm? [18:00] mib: stop gdm with 'sudo service gdm stop' then try 'startx' it should load the deskjtkop, try running yur apps.. if they fail. go back to the console. look for any error messages [18:00] !virtualbox [18:00] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [18:01] !tab | Tater [18:01] itsux2bu, I realize that, I was curious if it was possible though [18:01] Tater: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:01] mib: another test would be to make a new user, and see if the issue affects them also [18:01] wow guys, i'm debugging my IRC client and [18:01] Tater: I *think* so, yes. Never tried to do it. [18:01] ilovefairuz, I know thanks though, keyboard has had something spilled on it so keys stick sometimes [18:01] If Tater wants to be able to boot it outside of Windows and then later boot it ON windows, I believe he could simply create a Ghost image of it to be installed within the VM and backup his documents/files/personal program files to be restored in the VM instance. [18:01] Tater, sorry i missed original question.. my bad.. bad habit of mine.. [18:01] its ok [18:02] wasob so that would double the size of space needed as I would require a ghost image and my dual boot install [18:02] lame [18:02] j2daosh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones [18:02] I doubt solidworks would have ran fast enough under a vm anyways [18:02] looks like I'm still chained to windows [18:03] Tater: did you check WINE? [18:03] Dr_Willis: okay, i found an error: http://pastebin.com/Zm0Q2drQ [18:03] Tater, I came in late so missed your question but if you are trying to run a physical copy of Windows in a vbox VM, yes, it can be done -- but there is serious risk of making the physical side unbootable! [18:04] jk_ thats not acceptable so I guess no is the answer :D [18:04] CLARIFY i have tried all kinds of stuff to get burn effect with ubuntu 10,04 to work but nothing gets it done.. I have looked to google.and tried some fixes but still not working [18:04] ilovefairuz, thats the first thing I checked, SW is rated as running like "garbage" so I assume it woon't work lol [18:04] Tater: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=6993 [18:04] Tater, check the Oracle vbox forums; they have how-tos that spell out the risks. [18:05] my partations in xubuntu are not opening [18:05] deathanatos: thank you very much. using CDT/MDT doesn't work, but if i specify the contry/state it recognizes the daylight savings time. THANK YOU [18:05] Tater: version 2009 is marked as silver [18:05] he can any help me out here? [18:05] ilovefairuz, thanks, I'm running 10 though [18:05] !details | zergling [18:05] jk_, thanks for the help [18:05] zergling: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:06] when switching users or logging out of a user, ubuntu will often crash, could someone help me out with this? [18:06] Hey all [18:06] Tater: you should give it a try, WINE has came a long way [18:06] how do I downgrade a package? [18:06] Dr_Willis: i found this, you think i need to reinstall driver? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88139 [18:06] i need a channel for my site [18:06] :( [18:06] j2daosh: saying "Central" is a big vague -- some places have weird rules (such as not observing DST, or starting at a different date) [18:06] ok i have no clue how to get the sound drivers to work on ubuntu. does anyone know how to fix it? [18:06] Still can't get WINE to work with OvationPro properly [18:06] JohnFlux: did you install it from a ppa? [18:06] !sound | zergling [18:06] zergling: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[18:07] ilovefairuz, I just might, i don't really got much to lose i suppose other than a few hours and some of my hair [18:07] whats ppa? (im kinda new to this) [18:07] ilovefairuz: I have all the old deb packages, but I can't get: apt-get install package=oldversion to downgrade dependencies as well [18:07] Tater: /j #winhq [18:07] j2daosh: Keep in mind it won't recognize DST when winter rolls around, and those timezones switch back to standard time [18:07] hi , when i have a ssh client running , is it possible to connect for somebody to connect to my pc then ? [18:08] abys: not by running the client, you would have to run an ssh server [18:08] abys: Not by just running the client, no. [18:08] evenin' all [18:08] Tater: type: it's #winehq .. they may help if you run into wine issues while installing [18:08] Night all. bed time for the Dr. [18:08] night dr/ [18:08] abys, one computer needs to run ssh server and one computer ssh client [18:09] ilovefairuz, thanks, I joined but no time now, I need to go finish building my deck, thank you for your time though [18:09] abys: connect to yourself from ssh yes [18:09] ok thx [18:09] !ssh [18:09] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

Actually I'm thinking about created 2 partitions one in ext4 and the other in ntfs for windows 7 install. What do yall think? (PS I used to run Ubuntu, but I've been running win7, but it's crap so I'm going back to Ubunut. I'm no pro) [18:11] can you please tell me where to install these individual packages [18:11] and what do i search [18:11] legino: just sudo apt-get install build-essential [18:11] ilovefairuz: what's PPA?

[18:13] *myself [18:13] itsux2bu - sacarloson - NO, I'm trying to figure out which paritions/file sys to use. And I was wondering if VIrtual box would run better if I used NTFS.

[18:15] I tried #gnucash and it said go to irc://irc.gimp.org/gnucash [18:15] mib: no, you would have to download the source of the program, apply the patch, and then compile it [18:15] volume, what OS do you boot with? [18:15] here operating ubuntu lucid desktop as internet gateway, using Firestarter firewall with ICS enabled; ICS works ok, except that DNS requests are not forwarded to the internet modem as expected; inbound policy is set up to forward DNS(53) but that has no apparent effect; thoughts? [18:15] rockhopper, I use the DownThemAll extension for firefox [18:15] works like a charm [18:15] rockhopper: aria2c [18:15] rockhopper: something like aria2 [18:15] volume: 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] sacarlson - 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] 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] po1ter, does downthemall have multiple connections per file? [18:15] rockhopper, yep [18:16] Oke further on SSH , so when i connect on my box with only client , i need the public key of the other box in id_rsa.pub right ? [18:16] ok thanks [18:16] denise: because you're now on freenode, disconnect from this server and type /server irc.gimp.org .. then /join #gnucash [18:16] legino: can you !pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get install build-essential`? [18:16] itsux2bu - I'm going to reformat my drive and (i think) use the ext4 partition to install Ubuntu and boot into Ubuntu. [18:16] Why would a mounted windows share say permissoned denied with I try to Chmod 777 it as root? [18:16] volume, no, vbox's "partitions" are actually VDI files in your home directory's .VirtualBox/HardDisks directory. [18:16] thanks, I'll give it a go [18:16] pushpop: you may have to remount it with a umask instead [18:17] volume: yes I guess. I never tried setup virtualbox dual bot but I supose you could. ntfs or unused would be what you want. [18:17] mfraz74, thanks for your suggestion.. I'll give it a try as well.. [18:17] volume, ok.. so you Want to boot with ubuntu or some *nix.. so yea use filesysten you OS best understands.. in this case Ext4 [18:17] ChogyDan can you be more specific im kind of new to linux [18:17] adminewb: the machines should have the router IP as their DNS server NOT the gateway IP (check in /etc/resolv.conf) [18:17] abys: 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] jk_ Ok. I new it used virtual partitions but I wasn't sure if it could use physical partitions. That helps! [18:17] ChogyDan may I msg you real fast? [18:18] abys: normally you need a password but you can set it up to use key authentication instead [18:18] hey i wanna design a code to implement features of ping command [18:18] volume: I never used physical partitions [18:18] !pl [18:18] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [18:18] ilovefairuz thanks for response; directing local DNS activity to forward through the gateway is a convenience, but I'd rather not have to forego it... [18:18] volume, i guess you could configure vbox to use some other location, but it works fine with the defaults. i have more than 80 gb of virtual-disk files in my system. [18:18] yes , i did all the configs for that on ssh server [18:18] I'm trying to use ldaps or start_tls with ldapsearch/ldapmodify, but neither one seem to work. is there some special package I need to install to get ssl support in openldap as a client? [18:19] can someone help me with lvm? I already have my primary 2tb drive setup, I have another 2tb drive, I want to mirror one volume and stripe another [18:19] I can connect to the server using openssl s_client -connect... [18:19] jk_ sacarlson itsux2bu - Ok. I'm going to format my drive in ext4 and then create a separate partition in ntfs for windows7, just in case I need it at some point. [18:19] hey i wanna design a code to implement features of ping command [18:19] anyone know where i can download this patch ? http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-July/011317.html [18:20] hello every one [18:20] mib: is that a trick question? [18:20] pranav: Lean a programming language, study the ping protocol, write the code. [18:20] ilovefairuz, still wondering why forwarding DNS traffic in Firestarter inbound policy is not working? [18:20] jrib: no, i'm a noob [18:20] Hello all, cfdisk shows my partition as ext3 but the mount command shows it as ext4. Should i be concerned? or is just fdisk screwy [18:20] mib: why do you want it? [18:20] adminewb: I'm not sure what you're trying to say but /etc/resolv.conf must point to a machine running an actual DNS server .. a gateway/router doesn't "automatically" understand and forward DNS packets, it treats them like any other packets [18:20] jrib: because i'm facing that problem [18:20] H [18:21] shockwave for linux is this possable in any way? [18:21] pushpop: there is _some_ advice here: https://https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitionshelp.ubuntu.com/ I would scroll down to the fstab example [18:21] jrib: x is giving me an error that is solved by this patch, i don't know how to get it though so i can recompile etc [18:21] jk_ I've run 2 or 3 Virtual disks max. [18:21] mib: have you found the bug on launchpad? [18:21] ilovefairuz, right nothing "automatic" about it, I have explicit inbound policy setting in Firestarter which has no apparent effect [18:21] ChogyDan thx ill take a look [18:21] Hi, i'm trying out ubuntu on a live usb [18:21] HEY GUYS GO TO THE 99 CHATS WEBSITE AND JOIN THE BREAKFAST CLUB FOR A NICE CASUAL CONVERSATION!!!!

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:23] adminewb: that's still PACKET forwarding rule not a DNS FORWARDING one (that would require a DNS server like dnsmasq but you don't need one if you point the machines' resolv.conf directly to the machine running the server if it's accessible) [18:23] codecs? how do i do that [18:24] itsux2bu: i was wondering that myself. [18:24] MadCarburetor, I believe that you need to use third party (unsupported) software to play proprietry formats such as mp3 on nlinux systems [18:24] MadCarburetor, install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package from the software center [18:24] MadCarburetor, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?

Good. I ran 9.04 and I couldn't get my iPhone to connect with rhythmbox. [18:25] is it possible to use ATI's UVD (uvd2, as seems to be reported by fglrx in xorg log) to offload cpu from video (h264) decoding? [18:26] ilovefairuz is DNS using port numbers other than 53? [18:26] Hello all, cfdisk shows my partition as ext3 but the mount command shows it as ext4. Should i be concerned? or is just fdisk screwy? [18:26] adminewb, no. But it's udp and tcp port 53. [18:26] volume: i think it works in ubuntu, but in kubuntu it only lets me use it with digikam [18:26] would someone be kind enough to point me to a good tutorial on how to configure a simple setup of an internal dns server? [18:26] Seveas, ok [18:26] volume: is that a problem or a feature, no iphone? [18:27] mfraz74 - I think the Ubuntu peeps were saying that 10.10 was going to come with ipod/iphone support out of box or something like that. [18:27] lmao sacarlson [18:27] dschuett, http://www.unbound.net/documentation/index.html [18:27] volume: isnt that supposed to work already with lucid? [18:27] sacarlson - haha. I really like my iphone, and ipod. [18:27] Seveas, I'm noting in the inbound Firestarter policy settings, there is no place to specify protocol where the forwarded port# is given [18:27] cool, it needs itunes support.... for loading a library over the LAN === denny is now known as Guest7565 [18:28] sticky_: thanks! [18:28] meh thanks anyway [18:28] For some reason wireless is "disabled" each time on boot. I can easily enable it by right click network manager -> enable, however I'd like to solve the issue if possible. Anyone fix a similar issue? [18:28] dschuett, that's for recursion only [18:28] adminewb, sorry, I don't know firestarter. I write iptables rules by hand :) [18:28] dschuett, do you want a recursive dns or authoritive? === denny_ is now known as denny [18:28] sorry, very new to this. what is the difference? [18:29] Great! GParted is warning me that it is "Unable to read the contents of this file system!" (The drive I just formated.) [18:29] got that incompatible iterator error fixed.. [18:29] uhh.. what's going on with my input though? is this all fine to you guys? [18:29] How well will ubuntu run on a 5 year old laptop with about 1.70 ghz prosesser speed but with a new 320GB HD and 2GB Ram? [18:29] volume: i have never had luck with gparted [18:29] if at all possible use fdisk [18:29] volume: I did have a working 9.X with an Ipod but i also managed to crash it to the point it needed to be reset to factory defaults. [18:29] MadCarburetor, well. [18:30] dschuett, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System [18:30] better then windows xp? [18:30] adminewb: a DNS forwarder is an actual server/daemon that's runs and accepts DNS requests (on port 53) and forwards them to another server (and it fully understands DNS protocols) a PACKET forwarder/route/gatewa/IP masquerader is a "dumb" machine that forwards packets between two networks, it doesn't "listen" on any ports, it doesn't understand the content of the packets (except enough to send them back and forth) .. What you've added to [18:30] dschuett - I've used it before without trouble. [18:30] MadCarburetor, yeah [18:30] [18:30] volume: have you actually made file system there or just created a partition? [18:30] MadCarburetor: it will certainly look better [18:30] :D [18:30] MadCarburetor: Of course. :P (what answer are you expecting in #ubuntu?) [18:30] I'm going to make an IRC client better than the one you're using. [18:30] volume: just an opinion. it has been hit or miss for me [18:30] dschuett, recursive = resolver, authoritive = it reiplies with -only- results from entries hosted on that machine [18:31] sticky_, a dns server can be both [18:31] brb [18:31] Janisozaur -- I formated to ext4 first, then I partitioned the drive into 2 sepatate partiitions. Now I'm getting that error. [18:31] Seveas, heh. You missed conversation. [18:31] it currently has only 512mb ram and is running crunchbang but i'm thinking of upgrading the ram and installing ubuntu [18:31] crunchbang is too unnoobfriendly [18:31] janisozaur I'm getting that error on the first partition, not the second. (sda1) [18:32] Seveas, and yes... _some_ DNS Servers can do both... but not what I linked him to. [18:32] sticky_: here is my situation: i have a a linux router/gateway/firewall and i have a webserver within my lan. I need to be able to resolve those names on that webserver as well as still being able to get to the internet [18:32] janisozaur - sda2 is showing that it has files on it. I set it as my primary partition. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. sda1 is showing empy, with an error saying that it can't be read. [18:32] volume: what does fdisk say? [18:33] hello all [18:33] dschuett, Do you want IPv6 (AAAA) support? [18:33] sticky_: i have gotten a lot of help on here on how to get it to resolve with hairpin nat in my iptables rules, but i've always wanted to learn DNS. [18:33] sticky_: no i don't need ipv6 [18:33] ilovefairuz, thanks for the clarification; I was hoping that such a "dumb" packet forwarding solution would be enough, since I'm innocent of the complexities in running a DNS daemon on the gateway [18:33] Who used MegaRAID 9240-4(8)i and ubuntu server 10.04 [18:33] ? [18:33] janisozaur - I'm not running fdisk. Can I do that from within gParted? [18:34] volume: no idea. are you using ubuntu live or what? [18:34] dschuett, you could probably get away with dnsmasq then [18:34] adminewb: if your DNS server is accessible from the machines (try pinging its IP), just add it to /etc/resolv.conf [18:34] volume: you can try palimpsest [18:34] janisozaur I'm running GParted distribution right now, just for formating and partitioning [18:35] sticky_: i have heard a couple say that, but I would really like to learn how to set up a DNS server. - I mean I already having it do what i want using iptable rules, but just looking to learn :P [18:35] ilovefairuz, my /etc/resolv.conf is not customized, NetworkManager deals with that === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [18:35] volume: sorry, no idea about gparted capabilities. from my experience though, after creating partitions you have to plant file system there, though gparted could automate it, however. [18:35] dschuett, may as well use the defacto (and horrible im) bind9 [18:35] dschuett, or a combo of unbound & nsd [18:35] volume: if you plan to setup a dualboot windows/ubuntu normaly you install windows first and make sure when installing windows you create a spare partition. then install ubuntu. [18:36] ilovefairuz, the whole point of this exercise is to prevent client nodes from having to hassle with pointing their DNS to the modem, and rather deal only directly with the gateway [18:36] holas [18:36] volume: btw, wouldn't it be better to run ubuntu live instead of gparted? i mean - i believe ubuntu live has gparted and so much more. is there any reason to use gparted's own? (just asking) [18:36] alguien que quiera hablar un rato [18:36] adminewb: then edit the connection in NetworkManager GUI and add the IP as a DNS server [18:36] volume: I'm not sure why you would setup dual boot on virtualbox but maybe it's a good learning experience. [18:37] adminewb: or install dnsmasq on the gateway and configure it to forward DNS requests to the router [18:37] sacarlson - yeah I know. That's what I've always done in the past too. [18:37] volume: so I know you can do it this way but it's just more trouble. [18:37] sacarlson - That's not what I'm trying to do. I didn't explain myself well enough. [18:38] alguien que hable español [18:38] ilovefairuz, could a dumb DNS packet forwarding config work as long as it handles both UDP and TCP on port 53? [18:38] !es | divina [18:38] divina: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [18:39] hello, I have a dualboot (win/linux) system. When I start the Computer, I only get the GRUB console. I tried to reinstall, but it didn't help..., what should I do? [18:39] sacarlson - in order to install windows first I would have to have ntfs [18:39] hey does anyone know why i can't seem to save an altered gif file? [18:39] CorniMac, get rid of Windows [18:39] sticky_: that doesn't help, my grub is still busted. [18:39] !grub | CorniMac [18:40] CorniMac: grub 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. [18:40] volume: yes but just let windows create it? when you install ubuntu you can delete it [18:40] hello!!! [18:40] wolfbiker: depends on how you altered it, i imagine. [18:40] janisozaur: nope, sorry. :( [18:40] sipior, tried cutting off a bit of the image [18:40] adminewb: it just can't work because nothing is listening on the port, you could try to do SSH port forwarding stuff but this is just unclean, run dnsmasq or point them to the router [18:41] wolfbiker: i guess i meant: by what means did you alter the image? [18:41] sacarlson - SO how is file sharing working in virtual box now a days? I could never get it to work in 9.04 [18:41] janisozaur: I just need a tip what to change to get grub working, since it is installed and everything... [18:41] volume: with samba? === LintaWayd is now known as LintWad [18:42] CorniMac: there is a command grub-install or grub-setup, can't remember exactly which one. it detects your OS' and adds them to the config [18:42] janisozaur: the menu.lst is right, I checked it [18:42] ilovefairuz ok thanks [18:42] janisozaur: all my OSes are in there [18:42] sacarlson -- well, any kind of fiile sharing at all. I could never figure out how to share files between my win7 and ubuntu in Virtual Box. Made it somewhat worthless for me. [18:42] janisozaur: and grub starts up when I start the computer, so I can't see where the problem is... [18:42] CorniMac: are you using grub or grub2? [18:43] janisozaur: Grub2, as it seems (installed with recent ubuntu) [18:43] CorniMac: then menu.lst is no longer needed [18:43] volume: samba works very well for me. I just turn off all the security [18:43] !grub2 | CorniMac [18:43] CorniMac: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [18:43] !grub2 [18:44] janisozaur: so I can use update_grub in the grub console? [18:44] CorniMac: yeah, sometinhg like that [18:44] janisozaur: I see, I will try that. Thank you. [18:44] volume: I"ve had problems having windows share with ubuntu since I had accounts with no passwords. I had to create password accounts in windows to make it share that way. [18:44] CorniMac: wait [18:45] CorniMac: not in the grub console, but in a regular system [18:45] my chat client froze did anybody say anything [18:45] janisozaur: and then I check the grub.cfg? [18:45] CorniMac: it keeps settings somewhere else. rtfm. [18:45] does anyone know how to install djb's daemontools? [18:45] janisozaur: the wiki says grub.cfg. [18:46] CorniMac: the wiki for grub or grub2? [18:46] janisozaur: grub2 [18:46] i am using 10.04 [18:46] CorniMac: then perhaps it is so. though the update script should present you with a list of detected OS' [18:46] CorniMac, there is a /etc/default/grub file.. no .cgf [18:47] itsux2bu: ok thank you. I will check that [18:47] CorniMac: this file is not meant to be fiddled with [18:47] If I install grub2 on MBR, what do I have to flag as "boot"? the linux-partition or the first (windows)-partition? [18:47] janisozaur: I won't change anything. [18:47] sipior, I altered it using f-spot [18:48] CorniMac, after you change that run.. sudo update-grub as note on top of grub file says === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse [18:48] CorniMac: you need to install mbr on the disk that bios is going to boot first [18:48] does synaptic have build essential [18:48] I only have one disk, but what partition has to be flagged as "boot" [18:48] legino: build-essential [18:48] !info build-essential [18:48] build-essential (source: build-essential): Informational list of build-essential packages.

[18:51] where do i get build essential [18:51] itsux2bu: nvm, sorry. [18:51] For some reason I stayed connected to the channel even though I closed the tunnel to my proxy server. Why? [18:51] legino: sudo apt-get install build-essential [18:51] is says package not found [18:51] CorniMac, there is no /etc/default/grub [18:52] CorniMac, grub has been changed [18:52] legino: can you !pastebin `sudo apt-get install build-essential`? [18:52] janisozaur I'm going to need to create in install USB, but all I have is a version of ubuntu that is old, or x86 (my pc is x64). SO I'm going to have to create an bootable USB of a version of Ubuntu I don't have. So I'll have to download it. Does usb-creator-gtk let me do that? [18:52] hey folks I think the latest kernel update hosed my system [18:53] volume: you'll have to download iso yourself, once you have the image just point the program to it [18:53] janisozaur -- great. cool.

CCSM, or something else? === progre55__ is now known as progre55 [18:54] I can't update grub via update-grub (is /dev mounted? etc). what do I have to mount and where?

[18:55] whats better aptitude or apt-get ? [18:55] CorniMac: did you chroot? I think you can just do: sudo mount /dev [18:55] ChogyDan: the same, though they differ in policy management [18:56] Hello everyone, problem : my gigabit ethernet (on motherboard : Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2, device : 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller by MArvell) is connected to a gigabit switch but runs at 100MB/s. how can I force it to use gigabit with jumbo frames ? [18:56] ChogyDan: i believe the former insists more on installing also recommended packages [18:56] janisozaur: I believe earthling_ asked the question [18:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/486394/ [18:56] ChogyDan: ah, ok. Weird, it updates the menu.lst... but I have grub2! [18:57] earthling_: see my previous messages [18:57] legino: can you pastebin the commands you are runnning also? [18:57] ChogyDan: indeed. sorry ;) [18:57] Is this the main ubuntu support channel or are there other ubuntu irc servers/channels [18:57] how do I update my grub2? It seems that my old grub1-.lst is updated... [18:57] windows 7 isn't all that bad, but the security issues are out of hand. Besides, most of the prorams I was running were open source anyway. [18:57] should I just remove the old grub-folder? [18:58] cornimac: can you install grub2 with synaptic? [18:58] which commands [18:58] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all ! [18:58] legino: the install command [18:58] legino: the ones you type, not only their output [18:59] CorniMac: or maybe sudo apt-get install grub2 [18:59] sacarlson: grub-install -v gives me 1.98-etc, doesn't that mean I already have grub2? [18:59] CorniMac: yes it does [18:59] janisozaur, hmm recommended but not needed to run a program? [18:59] CorniMac: what command are you using to update? [18:59] :D [18:59] ChogyDan: sudo chroot /mnt update-grub [19:00] earthling_: yes. but they might include additional resurces (themes, images, whatsoever), docs etc. [19:00] do you guys think the world actually needs another IRC chat client? [19:00] Hey all fun problem. So I just updated one of my computers (on 10.04) and now it's giving me an error about bad magic number and telling me to boot the kernel first. Is there a way to recover this? [19:00] Is this the main ubuntu support channel or are there other ubuntu irc servers/channels [19:00] hi, can anyone tell my why Ubuntu's firefox cannot handle citrix access gateway ssl page? I always get a infinite redirect message (cyclic link) [19:00] CorniMac: then sudo grub-install /dev/sda should work if you boot from /dev/sda [19:00] EnigmaticCoder: This is it. [19:00] :)\ [19:00] earthling_: read man apt-get and man aptitude for more info. or some comparison chart, if you manage to find any [19:00] Hello.. I have a problem, where the file manager doesn't work.. That is, when I try to open for instance the "picture" a menu entry appers with "opening pictures" and then nothing happens.. The same for all folders/drives ect.. [19:00] janisozaur, I suppose I could use apt to pick and choose, if I wanted that extra recommended packages too? [19:01] it works fine with google chrome but this one cannot handle the .ica file [19:01] Hello everyone, problem : my gigabit ethernet (on motherboard : Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2, device : 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller by MArvell) is connected to a gigabit switch but runs at 100MB/s. how can I force it to use gigabit with jumbo frames ?

[19:04] on that note, is there a "system restore" type function if I install a program that messes up my ubuntu? [19:04] legino: 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 sense [19:04] sacarlson: the startupmanager one doesn't work. It can't find a package with that name [19:04] earthling_: 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) [19:05] can someone suggest me a program (with gui ) for ubuntu to take picture or record a video from camera which is connected on computer (usb webcam and camera (if supports) ) ? [19:05] HI [19:05] Hello how can i disable iptables [19:05] Oh, no. Ubuntu 10.04 is saying it's going to take 9 hrs to download. Haha. I wonder if that's because I'm running 9.04 live. [19:05] CorniMac: did you boot a live cd? [19:05] but i found it in sypnatic [19:05] is that the one [19:05] sacarlson: yes [19:05] earthling_: should anything depend on the packet you intend to remove/purge, the apt frontend (whatever it is - synaptic, apt-get, aptitude) should tell you it is about to remove also some other packages and give you option to abort [19:05] alright, quick question: I'm trying to find a MAC address for my netbook. As far as I know, this is found with ifconfig under the HWaddr [19:06] however, two entries that have HWaddrs pop up [19:06] eth0 and eth1 [19:06] which one has my MAC address? [19:06] legino: run "sudo apt-get update" [19:06] so all you should need is the first 5 lines and you should be done [19:06] sidek: one's probly your wireless, one's your wired [19:06] can someone suggest me a program (with gui ) for ubuntu to take picture or record a video from camera which is connected on computer (usb webcam and camera (if supports) ) ? [19:06] How can i disable iptables [19:06] sidek: the one that has ip assigned [19:06] On package architectures.. uname -a shows I have x86_64, but on ubuntu I only see i386, ia64 (thats itanium, isnt it?) and amd64.. Which one to pick? [19:06] ServerTech: define disable [19:06] Can anyone tell me why it would say 'my.ip.address: Unknown host', 'failed to bring up eth0' after setting up a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces on a clean install of Ubuntu (without X)? [19:06] c_kap: there is cheese [19:07] so eth1, then [19:07] thanks [19:07] Does anyone have a script that I can take an ssh connection to my email server as a normal login and emulate a pop3 server on localhost for a local client? [19:07] sacarlson: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) [19:07] Phoenixz: i386 is the 32bit build, amd64 is the 64bit build. use that as your determining information for version to use [19:07] EvilPhoenix : i do not want to use iptables. I think it got turned on cuz of which my ports are being refused..... Becuz the ports used to work sometime ago [19:07] CorniMac: at what command line is that? [19:07] sacarlson: terminal @ live-cd, or what did you want to know? [19:08] ServerTech: do me a favor, pastebin out put of sudo iptables -L [19:08] EvilPhoenix: ok, thanks!.... evil twin... Isnt it better just to call it x86_64 instead of amd64 then? [19:08] uh hmm ok [19:08] CorniMac: when you boot a live cd to try mode? [19:08] ChogyDan: thank you! i will try... [19:08] janisozaur, ok, thx [19:08] sacarlson: yes [19:08] CorniMac: at the term did you type sudo grub-install /dev/sda === mat__ is now known as Guest50273 === god is now known as alfy [19:09] sacarlson: yes [19:09] CorniMac: from a live cd boot in try mode from a terminal sudo grub-install /dev/sda. is that what that error you showed me came from?

[19:11] CorniMac: ok at the terminal sudo fdisk -l [19:11] ServerTech: sounds like your ISP is involved [19:11] ok what now [19:11] legino: can i ask why do you want to install build-essential? [19:11] can someone read this and help me out http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/34TRx9xb where is the linux source [19:11] to install drivers for my card [19:11] sacarlson: yes, that lists my partitions [19:11] legino: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential" and pastebin it (with commands) [19:12] EvilPhoenix, Nope, it was open and i also turned off the *external* firewall i have, and i have some ports i had opened earlier still open [19:12] alfy: you have to download it separately [19:12] <^mNotIntelligent> zergling, and it works fine with other OS, right ? h/w details plz [19:12] legino: ati? nv? [19:12] sacarlson: should I tell you all of them? or do you want to know something specific? [19:12] ServerTech: hmm. what you trying to run on these ports...?

[19:42] mad_aya: ntfs and vfat do not support unix permisions so faked permissions are created when you mount the filesystem according to mount options [19:42] ^mNotIntelligent: where can I find out if I have "ntfs-3g for mounting windows partitions and mounted with the rw permissions ?" [19:43] mad_aya: change those mount options [19:43] <^mNotIntelligent> mad_aya, just open your /etc/fstab and see if all your windows partitions are mounted with proper(i.e read/write) permissiions [19:43] !ntfs | mad_aya [19:43] mad_aya: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [19:43] <^mNotIntelligent> mad_aya, ubuntu uses ntfs-3g by default for mouiting ntfs...the other you can check through /etc/fstab file [19:46] hey all [19:46] MartiniGroove: bring up the buddy list then quit from there.

It could say so in fstab comments! === ginbuntu__ is now known as ginbuntu [20:01] I asked this a bit back, but to reiterate: why is it that HDMI does not work sometimes? e.g., I had a mac mini that would not work with a display with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter; only with DVI. The ATI HD5750 I have just simply doesn't work, but it could be something else [20:01] mad_aya, glad you found it. [20:02] hi 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 vnc [20:03] karmic-koala, better (more secure) to tunnel it through ssh (search: ssvnc) [20:04] karmic-koala, or, if you are connecting from another linux box, just use x-forwarding across ssh. [20:04] sjm, 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 pc === fourdfourm is now known as |4d4m [20:05] karmic-koala, if you're already connected with a vpn, you should just be able to connect across that. [20:06] karmic-koala, oh, just reread your post. You have a local firewall on the Ubuntu workstation? [20:07] I would like to install Linux on my phone.. :S.. [20:07] sjm, yes, both remote client and desktop to which access is required are ubuntu [20:07] karmic-koala, It should just be 5900 by default, I think. check what port it's listening on with "netstat -neap" [20:07] <|4d4m> Question: 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] 5900, okay dok, lemme see [20:08] what's the proper way to remove the gnome network manager? when I installed wicd before it would always remove the network manager, but doesn't do it anymore. I just don't want the two bumping heads for any reason. [20:08] karmic-koala, but ubuntu by default, doesn't install an local firewall (iptables) [20:08] sjm, got ufw installed on both :) [20:08] sej_: sure it does. There just aren't any rules by default. [20:08] sjm: Sorry, that was for you ^^ [20:08] cdubya, Already tried removing it from the login applications autostart? [20:09] hello , i still have a problem with ssh ... now it tells me : "port 22: Connection refused" when i do ssh -v localhost [20:09] how can i fix that ? [20:09] macool, you mean System > Preferences > Startup Applications ? [20:09] Pici, oops, you're right. Just "unconfigured" or "completely open" [20:09] cdubya, yes, i think! [20:09] macool, nope, but just did. brb [20:10] sjm: There aren't any rules and there isn't anything listening on your public address either. [20:10] abys_: why do you want to ssh to the local machine? you're already at a shell [20:10] sjm, thanks muchly :) [20:10] Pici, yes, that's true. I started on RH boxes that installed rules by default. [20:10] well , just because i wanna know its working ? [20:11] abys_, is it running? (ps aux | grep ssh) [20:11] abys_: oh. well make sure you don't have some firewall rules blocking it [20:11] make sure ssh installed and running [20:11] yes but im not a hero in iptables :) [20:12] i would suggest a gui of somekind then [20:12] sjm What does grep do? [20:12] webmin has a decent simple front end to iptables [20:12] !webmin [20:12] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [20:12] ok ebox [20:13] abys_: ufw or gufw are pretty simple to use. [20:13] Im in the middle of upgrading ubuntu from version 9.04 to 9.10 and its on the installation process but its stuck on *stopping bluetooth. [20:13] I use Firestarter, It is very cool.. its GUI for IPtables! [20:13] or a multitude of other gui tools [20:13] ok thanks [20:13] macool, selects things (man grep) [20:14] Hi, newbie to the irc chat here [20:14] macool: it's kind of a filter of sorts, almost a search kind of [20:15] i see on a forum that somebody just installed ssh-server and it was fixd [20:15] but i dont like that sollution lol [20:15] noisewaterphd1, macool: It IS a search. From the man page: grep searches the named input.... [20:15] is there anyone here who could tell me about the binary blobs in ubuntu? [20:16] macool: for instance, if you do a 'ps aux' it's going to print you all of the running processes, but say you are looking for a java process in particular, then you do 'ps aux | grep java' and it prints only processes containing java [20:16] noisewaterphd1, thank u, got it.. [20:16] Im in the middle of upgrading ubuntu from version 9.04 to 9.10 and its on the installation process but its stuck on *stopping bluetooth. can anyone help me out its been stuck for at least 30 minutes [20:16] zergling, reboot babe [20:17] I'm trying to get my girlfriend to using ubuntu, and she really likes the idea of free software [20:17] zergling, lol.. [20:17] Tom__, Is she hot? [20:17] macool: Thats not appropriate for this channel. [20:17] macool: yes, i stalk hre regularly on facebook [20:17] *her [20:17] maybe, but now everyone is wondering [20:18] now some debian-fan told here ubuntu is not entirely free software [20:18] Tom__, I read that Richard Stallman told that Ubuntu is not Free Software! [20:18] Tom__, I dont understand either.. [20:18] sjm: Getting there: wrote the fstab lines: UUID=940042F80042E13A /media/Data ntfs-3g rw,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0, then setuid on ntfs-3g, but apparently It doesn't like it... [20:19] Tom__: its not, some is licensed but its still free just not gnu free === ginbuntu_ is now known as ginbuntu [20:19] ubuntu makes it easy to install proprietary software [20:19] video drivers, etc. [20:19] Hi, i have a 512mb ram system and that is clearly not enough for ubuntu 10.04. what can you guys recommend? 8.04? netbook remix? anything else? [20:19] I know itś not all gpl [20:19] Ubuntu is better than any other OS [20:19] but what parts are not GPL [20:20] azjo: is compiz enabled¿ [20:20] not sure, im in live now [20:20] sjm: works as root but not as user; and with setuid, ntfs-3g says: [20:20] "Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged" [20:20] !offtopic | Tom__ [20:20] Tom__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:20] Ubuntu is not an OS [20:20] Hi [20:20] Anybody home? [20:20] sjm: can I get a FUSE-enabled ntfs-3g easily? [20:20] Ubuntu is everything [20:20] Tom__, you could look into gNewSense (based on ubuntu?) [20:20] macool: Do you have a support question? [20:21] azjo: dude 512mb is plenty for ubuntu, what cpu and gpu? [20:21] mad_aya, sorry, can't help much more there. maybe someone else. [20:21] Pici, No, i dont.. Why? [20:21] Tom__: why do you want to be 'pure' free? [20:21] I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on an old machine and the thing is my bios doesn't detect grub at times, do you think it has to do something with the ubuntu system or my bios? [20:21] azjo: you can try xubuntu or lubuntu with that ram [20:21] onboard gfx, using 32mb of the ram. celeron 1.20ghz. i can see that it is constantly using 99% of my 49x ram, so... [20:21] macool: Because your comments here are a offtopic, please use #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion. [20:22] im havinf problem creating a image from a linux live disk,CDRAO or something like it..it wont let me create the image [20:22] and im not doing anything at all, however it is run LIVE [20:22] sjm: Ok, thanks anyways, I'm a lot closer now :) Plus I gotta go eat before the parents feed mine to the dog :D [20:22] azjo: lubuntu is even lighter then xubuntu [20:22] ^mNotIntelligent: Thanks (if you're back) [20:22] i look in repository for the file i need and is not there [20:22] wikor, are you sure the drive is good? [20:22] erUSUL: Thanks! [20:23] azjo: consider something like crunchbang or ubuntu minimal + WM of choice [20:23] WM? [20:23] sjm? what drive? [20:23] wikor, the hard drive grub is installed on. [20:23] Soraya: did you tried with brasero? [20:24] azjo: window manager, its like gnome/kde/xfce but without panels and their specialist apps [20:24] azjo, Window Manager. [20:24] So, I'm trying to turn an mp3 into a 3g2 (long story), which i'm told to do by turning .mp3 into .avi, and then use a video converter to go the rest of the way. Since I also want a single image for the video frame (like. . . when you're on youtube watching a 'video' that's just a song and the album cover), I was told to use Avidemux. [20:24] sjm: yes, I think so. It used to work very well for the past 5 years (with grub), but lately it has been annoying [20:24] sjm: bios loads, but grub doesn't [20:24] Avidemux ssays it can't open any of the .avi 's I'm using, and I haven't been able to find the issue. [20:24] so I get stuck [20:25] how much ram does lubuntu use? [20:25] Question.. 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? [20:25] wikor, does the drive have SMART capability? check it with smartmontools. [20:25] azjo: I use to run it on 192, [20:25] wikor, 5 years is a lifetime for a disk drive. [20:25] Q: can I get gnome keyring to follow the new passwd i set with sudo passwd? [20:25] aha, ill check it out :) [20:26] zvacet, i rigth click on the desktop on the cdrom shortcut for my Live Disk incerted,,look for the option copy disk and is as default .toc [20:26] im abit in shock that ubuntu is actually using 900mb now in live, with nothing but empathy and 1 firefox instance. [20:26] i think i need some scrypt or something to make .iso images [20:26] Any1 care to assist newbie with an issue.. [20:27] azjo, I just set up a system installing with the mini.iso (just a minimal command line system) and added "lxde". Then you get to choose your own applications rather than what lubuntu chooses for you. [20:27] <|4d4m> Anyone good with BIND? I want to migrate all my settings form my old server to my new server. Can I just move the zone and config files? [20:27] sjm: hmm, I have another PC which was brought in 2002 which still works fine lol [20:27] sjm: hmm i am a newbie so thats perhaps abit too complicated to begin with ;) [20:28] azjo, don't be surprised. Linux uses whatever RAM there is. check it with "free" and look at the second line (the +/- cache buffers line) [20:28] simplified: I'm using avidemuxer and it tells me it cannot open the .avi files I want to modify. Any idea why? [20:28] thanx azjo... [20:28] Guten tag! [20:28] out of 2gb it is using 1.2gb now. (on another laptop) [20:28] azjo: btw, just think about this, ram not used is ram wasted [20:29] !de | Leman_Russ [20:29] Leman_Russ: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [20:29] Badbucksfan614: , what for? ;p [20:29] azjo: Ubuntu always tries to use as much Ram as possible because it would be a waste not to use it if it's available... [20:29] how do i set up a VPN on ubuntu 10.04? [20:29] is there a way to turn off visual effects from command line? [20:29] 日本語は？ [20:29] my issue is w-wireless.. been fightin it for a cpl days ans thought i'd it the irc for an assist [20:29] aeon-ltd: i agree, but i cant run decently with just 512mb of ram [20:29] Soraya: look in synaptic do you have cdrdao installed but brasero should burn iso images [20:29] !jp | Leman_Russ [20:29] Leman_Russ: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [20:30] just changing windows can cause 5-10 sec lag [20:30] sjm: BTw, I am installing smartmontools [20:30] OK, thanks [20:30] Sorry [20:30] azjo: i'm on 512mb now, rockin firefox, a irc client, i was using pidgin and could play music without goin further than 200mb (unless i used flash) [20:30] sjm, though I doubt this might have to do something with bios [20:30] Hi all. I tried using awesome for my window manager, but I have a problem with the sound. when I plug in my usb headphones I don't see any way to change the usb headphones to be my default sound device. Running gnome-volume-control, the new usb headset isn't even listed like it is when I am using gnome. Is this a problem because of pulseaudio? [20:30] flowbee metacity --replace [20:30] aeon-ltd: hmm thats strange... [20:30] zvacet, i just was cheking,i have cdrdao installed [20:30] wikor. Could be, but it's a step in the troubleshooting [20:31] xangua, Window manager error: Unable to open X display [20:31] but i am using live, that may be the reason? [20:31] azjo: well to be fair my irc client and music player are command line apps [20:31] well when i did have that lag issue, all i was running was the guide and a terminal..' [20:31] azjo: installing does help a little, but seriously if you think ubuntu is too bloated just use a lighter flavor [20:31] sjm: ok [20:31] was on a boat with no internet ;p [20:31] azjo: i believe it will be faster and less ram consuming if you install on hd [20:32] azjo: in live you can't install proper display drivers [20:32] sudo lshw -C network shows wlan0 disabled [20:32] well i prefer to use ubuntu for now so i can lower the use of ram then... [20:32] azjo: you are essentially using plug and play(udev) [20:32] how do i set up a vpn on ubutnu? [20:32] yes i know, but i have no harddrive on this [20:32] i am trying to reformat my home partiton to ext4 without extents and need to move the data off to format. I know i should use rsync, but i dont know which folders to exclude or what operands i should use [20:33] i tried to install ubuntu on another usb, but it just gives me a black screen when i try to start up on that [20:33] flowbee: Have you see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN yet? (also, nice nick) [20:33] I'm using 10.04 x64 as an apache webserver, on large files it will transfer at max speed for a few seconds but then suddenly drop to 3-5 Kbytes/sec... all firewalls disabled, vanilla apache config... tried lots, any ideas? [20:33] !vpn | flowbee [20:33] flowbee: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [20:34] wasutton3, if it's your home partition, do the whole things. === dad_ is now known as Guest39395 [20:35] Question.. 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] so how do i see what is using so much ram? [20:35] wasutton3, if it's the first time you're copying the data, cp is just a bit faster than rsync. [20:35] top in terminal tells me nothing [20:35] azjo: top [20:35] azjo: htop :) [20:35] Pici, i have; but not sure on how to set up the vpn server... on 10.04; it seems client is setup but not the server [20:35] azjo: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB%20Installation%20Media [20:36] Any thoughts on wireless issue .. sudo lshw -C network shows wlan0 disabled [20:36] hi [20:36] installing htop and checking that link ;) [20:36] azjo, use top and then "M" to sort by memory usage. [20:36] how can i switch nautilus to text input in the "address bar" so that i may enter smb://someip/somedir ? [20:36] Badbucksfan614: hardware switch? [20:36] ubuntu 10.04 [20:37] hi all [20:37] metalfan_: ctrl + L [20:37] aeon: there is one but it is on... [20:37] hi [20:37] metalfan_, or Go -> Location [20:37] whole HD is ubuntu 10.04 [20:38] u mean top -m i assume? unknown argument [20:38] no press M after top is running [20:38] flowbee: What kind of VPN? [20:38] broken FAT partition copied from drive with bad sectors to a file on another device, what recovery tools are useful for trying to recover the partition or files on it? [20:38] thx [20:38] Pici, pptpd [20:38] azjo, no. "top" and then when it is displaying, use capital M to sort it [20:38] Im using brasero and i cant make a ISO image [20:39] Pici, currently using: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-pptp-vpn-server-with-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html but confused on the right xyntax on chap-secrets file [20:39] azjo, while in the "top" display, you can type "?" to get more commands/shortcuts. [20:40] what are you thinks is my config average to run ubuntu 10.04 on p1700 \ 512 ram \ 64 nvidia mx [20:40] 400 [20:40] ? [20:40] geez, empathy is actually using 250mb [20:40] 250?? [20:40] kenjitsu, more ram would be needed for working [20:40] yep, im using msn where i have alot of users on so it may be that. [20:40] thats a ton! [20:41] kenjitsu, or you have to wait for ubuntu to catch up all the time [20:41] iTroll: search for PhotoRec [20:41] flowbee: What aprt of the file layout is confusing? [20:41] Badbucksfan614: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [20:41] perhaps its just easier to get ubuntu 8.04? it cant be using that much ram.. [20:42] Pici, got that working actually ; going through the rest from step 10 on... do those instructions look right? and if i do them i'll be able to VPN into my box? [20:42] zvacet, thank you.. i did pound through that last nite.. disabled error is an odd one [20:42] i did use unetbootin to make a live disk. [20:42] azjo, What line are you looking at? VIRT, SWAP, or RES? [20:42] but it works completely as a live cd [20:43] flowbee: Yes, but instead of the brute force protection that it suggests, I'd install fail2ban instead. [20:43] How can I force the installation of a package? [20:43] using apt-get [20:43] sjm: VIRT actually [20:43] Pici, i already did those two lines and installed fail2ban as well. should i go undo those iptables thing? if so how? [20:43] azjo, look at the RES. [20:43] that 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] i realized that now hehe [20:44] flowbee: remove them from /etc/rc.local [20:44] anyone 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] kenjitsu, LXDE is lighter than xfce. [20:44] empathy and firefox are using 73 and 55mb [20:44] Pici, i.e. remove " iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" [20:44] Pici, 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] i cant say how all those can explain a 1.2gb ram use [20:45] Cmdr_W_T_Riker; thanks [20:45] flowbee: 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] azjo: look https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:45] Pici, no i jsut ran those commands on the command line [20:45] lxde better than xfce? [20:46] lxde is way better [20:46] kenjitsu, i think so, but depends on what you want to do with it also. [20:46] azjo, to see "real" RAM usage use the command "free" and look at the "used" column on the "-/+ buffers/cache" line [20:46] kenjitsu: lighter I don´t know about better it depends on you [20:46] flowbee: 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. [20:47] zvacet, kenjitsu, twm is lighter yet, but not many would call it better. [20:47] Pici, 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] flowbee: yes. Leave that in there. [20:47]  i_is_broke: i want use skype \ mplayer \ gens & NES emulators \ firefox [20:47] 348mb [20:48] does anyone know why firefox on ubuntu cannot handle citrix access gateway? I get a infinite redirect error [20:48] for old games & multimedia [20:48] kenjitsu, you can use those with it.. [20:48] sjm : I tried lxde and it is O.K. maybe enlightenment as one more option :) [20:48] Pici, 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] at mem it says 2gb total and 1.3gb used though? why? [20:48] flowbee, use the "-R" switch to remove a rule. [20:48] kenjitsu, i think that lxde has more eye candy then xfce and easier to use... [20:49] flowbee: Yes, you'll need to setup port forwarding on the router that your server is behind. [20:49] how to change word begin to while using sed? i try: sed -n /begin/while/ didn't work [20:50] Pici, i assume that port 5900 is the default vnc port? [20:50] kenjitsu, but running a quad core and a 4 gig of ram, i dont have to much trouble running anything. [20:50] azjo, 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] it 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] but it says 348mb is used? [20:50] i 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 again [20:50] azjo, on that line, it is the amount used by the programs without the buffers/cache. [20:51] flowbee: yes. [20:51] kenjitsu, plus the memory usage is low with lxde as it is with xfce. [20:51] or do i not understand the difference from mem: and -/+ buffers cache? [20:51] Pici, 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] hmm [20:51] i like downgrade configs for exampe i use old p3 800mhz [20:51] Pici, 3) do i want to connect automatically? [20:51] 128 ram on win98se IF === DoubleString is now known as ZNC_DoubleString [20:51] ubuntu/bazaar people, how can i actually download this code? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wizardpen-devs/wizardpen/trunk/files? i'm not familiar with launchpad nor bazaar and apologise for what is probably a stupid question. :) [20:51] azjo, the mem line includes the buffers cache, the second line doesn't. [20:52] kenjitsu, just make sure you use a swap partition and you should be alright. [20:52] but new canon pixma & mobile phone dont run on 98 =( and because i hate XP [20:52] Pici, 4) how do i test the vnc server? [20:52] anyone use git? What graphic merge resolution tool do you use/suggest? [20:52] go to linux and want speed =) [20:53] kenjitsu, i think canon is one of them that everyone is complaining about...it doesnt work to well with linux. [20:53] ChogyDan: gvimdiff? :) [20:53] I think i may need to install ndiswrap [20:53] azjo, 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] ehamberg: thanks! [20:53] is any reason shy brasero choose my image extension.i want iso and is .toc,,is been like that for some of my disks [20:53] Pici, u there? [20:53] flowbee: vnc and vpn are two different things. I'm a little confused now. [20:53] printer canon pixma mp190 work good on drivers pixma mp150) [20:54] Pici, i'm sorry i meant to say VPN [20:54] flowbee: Then you should port forward port 1723 as that howto suggested. [20:54] ehamberg: install bazaar and do bzr checkout http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wizardpen-devs/wizardpen/trunk/files [20:54] also is giving me an error about cdrdao [20:54] i have it installed [20:54] azjo: http://www.linuxatemyram.com [20:55] 10.10 alpha 3 iso to a disc and it says "burn as file" or "burn as contents" which should I do?

[20:56] flowbee, I haven't been following closely, but I assume you aren't doing an ipsec vpn? [20:56] Can you install the netbook interference on the desktop edition? [20:56] ehamberg: there are some additional options for launchpad stuff [20:56] Pici, ok i accomplished that... now how do i test it [20:57] I am writing now...does any have 10.10?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:03] here's a question - since compositing/compiz makes watching videos of any resolution horrible, and I hate to do the metacity --replace since it consolidates my carefully placed windows on desktop 1, can I launch a second instance of X without compositing for purposes of gaming/watching video? If so, what is the best way to do so? === jordan is now known as Guest47809 [22:04] i wrote ilovefairuz, not ilovefairuz: that was the 'error'? :p [22:04] erUSUL, I have read all those links before ..

[22:10] area51pilot, if its a router, what make/model is it. [22:10] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/FWmrmxHm [22:11] Jordo1, .inf file is in Windows system32 folder .. when you use ndiswrapper .. I guess [22:11] Mind you, I'm trying to turn this .avi into a .3g2 with a single image for the video. [22:11] it asks me to do a new keyring for some strange reason, which is not neccessary.

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [22:13] dajhorn, wow that didn't work very well. switching back crashed X [22:13] dajhorn, also nothing on F8 [22:13] alright, you crazy people .. I go browse google for a backup script .. [22:14] ilovefairuz: eth0 can ping google.com [22:14] Martiini: the ubottu links did not help ? [22:14] Azjo: and you can't browse the web? [22:14] area51pilot, well, if everything else is exhausted, back to basics. [22:14] ilovefairuz: eth0 is not the issue anymore, wlan1 is. [22:15] ilovefairuz: browsing works fine [22:15] Short 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] ilovefairuz: Same error. [22:16] Anbody has an idea why i cant use my mic with julius??? http://pastebin.com/upccFaSE [22:16] Rummage: are you sure the path to the image is correct? [22:16] D3Xifier, you can manually mount it after boot, no? [22:17] i 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] D3Xifier: Suggest you have USB2 mounted in /mnt/, and create soft links from /usr/local/... [22:17] ilovefairuz: have you checked out the hardware settings etc for wlan0? http://pastebin.com/FWmrmxHm [22:17] ilovefairuz: 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] CoaxVex: Well, i'm kinda new to Ubuntu/Linux in general. I plug it in and it mounts itself [22:17] neodemi, no... had that once myself. You can try importing again [22:18] Rummage: copy all the files to the same directory and don't use any paths, just filenames [22:18] tripps: 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] D3Xifier, well you'll have to edit /etc/fstab and mount it later [22:18] D3Xifier, how much room you got left on your stick? [22:18] Azjo: yes, looking [22:18] D3Xifier, you really need to use another stick? [22:18] ilovefairuz: great, take your time :) [22:19] Anybody please help me? http://pastebin.com/upccFaSE [22:19] The one Ubuntu is booting from around 200 mb [22:19] itll have to be by hand then, the files are currently untagged, thanks CoaxVex [22:19] the second one 4gb [22:19] area51pilot, if you get your wireless driver back up and running, i`ll fix you up with an interface file [22:19] tripps: You're doing something that almost nobody else wants.

[22:20] Rummage: pastebin [22:20] D3Xifier, why don't you just put it all on the 4GB one? [22:20] tripps: If possible, find a tolerable compiz configuration. [22:21] dajhorn, not really possible I'm afraid [22:21] CoaxVex: I've got 2 4GB USB-Sticks. ONe of those is bootable, its the one i've been starting ubuntu from. [22:21] http://pastebin.com/RphWa8WW [22:21] tripps: How is the video quality currently unacceptable? [22:21] duff...no prob [22:21] D3Xifier, ah, ok... [22:21] Azjo: better: sudo pastebinit /var/log/messages [22:21] I did not actually specify a picture size, is the weird thing. [22:21] I do appreciate the help [22:21] so far [22:21] dajhorn, running video on composited X is awful [22:22] ilovefairuz: last time i opened OO, it died with gui completely, let me get on irc on the comp instead of this ;) brb [22:22] dajhorn, video lags, especially 720p, etc. === c is now known as Guest92636 [22:22] dajhorn, lots of dropped frames [22:22] dajhorn, commonly known/complained about :) [22:22] tripps: Okay, yeah, you're screwed 720p on Intel HD. [22:22] Rummage: add -s one_of_the_sizes .. like -s 352x288 [22:23] I think the phone this one's destined for was 176x144 so I'll go with that. [22:23] D3Xifier, well you need to mount your new stick, move your stuff onto it, and then edit /etc/fstab to have it automatically mount somewhere [22:23] CoaxVex: 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] ...empathy refuses to show irc?? [22:23] dajhorn, still think running lightweight X without compositing might do the trick [22:23] Okay, pastebinning new error. [22:24] hey guys, how come i hear myself through my speakers whenever i say something into my mic? i hear all i need to do is just mute the mic, but there's no such option in gnome alsa mixer [22:24] http://pastebin.com/JnvCCPqv [22:25] D3Xifier, try deleteing your apt caches with sudo apt-get clean [22:25] D3Xifier, that might help [22:25] Anybody have any ideas what's going on here: http://pastie.org/1129999 [22:25] I swear I did nothing to provoke this. [22:25] Huh. Now that's interesting, and may simplify things. Some of the mp3s had their album covers in the data, which is read as the video input when they're played. [22:25] I'm trying to run an msi file with wine, and ubuntu is saying that i must change permissions on the file with chmod, anyone know the command [22:26] But then, that may make it harder, so I'm just going to let that train of thought go. [22:26] anyone? [22:26] ??? http://pastebin.com/upccFaSE [22:26] right. when I shut my Lynx machine down, it restarts immediately, and on that restart, the login screen only occupies the left 2/3rd of the screen. sudo telinit 0 shuts it down properly but I'd rather not have to do that every time. [22:26] any thoughts on how to deal with gdebi being borked? It seems that a bunch of my programs now no longer work, and I have no idea why this is or what happened. [22:26] Rummage: -ab 8000 .. to get rid of the error [22:26] Hi, fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I downloaded vlc but started "movie player" (totem?) I got asked some questions about codecs and I clicked yes download/install. Then the xvid file startet to play but only with sound.

[22:27] mikeliss: The "Input/output error" error is important. Before making any more package changes, look at your /var/log/messages file for disk problems. [22:27] CoaxVex: Free space increased by 200 mbytes. X2 Needs at least 1,4 gigabytes, thats why i want to use the second stick as installation device for it [22:27] do i need to upgrade my NVIDIA display drivers to 256.53 [22:28] Rummage: ah, it's -ar [22:29] do i need to upgrade my NVIDIA display drivers to 256.53, its currently version 173 [22:29] GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAH [22:29] is there a way to change the ecryptfs *mount* passphrase that is setup during lucid install for encrypted homes ?

[22:31] CoaxVex: 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. [22:31] Rummage: ? [22:31] ljsoftnet: If you want the 256 drivers, then you can get them from the ubuntu-x-swat PPA at http://www.launchpad.net/ [22:32] ilovefairuz: A moment probably based on misunderstanding of IRC protocol. Lost connection for a moment, causing an endless climb of lag, so when it reestablishd I said self ping to see if that would fix it. [22:32] Anyway, now it is complaining about the bitrate. [22:32] Is ignoring modern?? [22:32] What package is ubuntu netbook remix again? [22:32] Rummage: saying what?

I'm assuming the partition block itself is taking up those bytes. [22:41] Fair. The other problem is that the picture got horribly mangled. Hmm. [22:41] makaveli: what's "tc" ? [22:41] dajhorn: Hrmm...I tried that, but I'm not seeing anything in /var/cache/apt/archives [22:42] Rummage: resize it using the gimp to the exact size [22:42] tc - manipulate traffic control settings [22:42] mikeliss: apt-get should download the deb to /var/cache/apt/archives. If it isn't there, then you have another problem. [22:42] ilovefairuz: Thanks. this is going to be slow, but I don't see as I have any option.

The only things I see there are an empty directory called "partial" and a file called "lock" [22:43] mikeliss: If the packaging system is broken, then don't use any of the fancy front ends. Use only dpkg and apt until the packaging system is repaired. [22:43] unimatrix: use iotop [22:43] What is Super+A? Almost identical to the Window picker (Super+W) but adds a [1] after each window.

There are several. [22:48] how do i force close a crashed ubuntu software ceter? [22:48] dajhorn: Yeah...I'm looking into that now...
