[00:00] Mozilla Thunderbird is hanging and crashing every time it starts. How can I solve this problem? [00:00] What is going on when you see a service that has 127.0.0.1 as its source and ITS destination? [00:00] chilli0: The MS Windows intall will overwrite the MBR and destroy grub. You will just have to fix it afterwards. See the info the others have provided you with for instructions. [00:01] JohnSQ: It is using local host only [00:01] JohnSQ: There are two processes which are able to connect to each other over the network, but in this case both happen to be on the same machine. === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [00:02] is the syslog message "Sep 5 00:50:37 karlw-laptop kernel: [ 6311.899471] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP power or thermal limit exceeded" normal? [00:02] It is not a security problem? [00:02] I didn't do anything to make this happen though. Why is it suddenly happening? There are two of em. Two different ports. [00:03] JohnSQ: No, it's not. [00:03] Thunderbird hangs when I start it up. How can I make it stop hanging? [00:03] Yes, but why twice on two different ports? I don't understand [00:03] tjubaluba: i saw that message today on a 10.10 install.. but ive not noticed any issues. [00:03] JohnSQ: What are the processes? [00:03] Lxndr: Don't know. Run from terminal and see if you can tell what is hanging it up. [00:03] No program listed [00:04] Im setting up an HTPC using ubuntu and XBMC, any suggestions on a wireless keyboard with builtin mouse functions? [00:04] Dr_Willis, ah okey.. good to know... [00:04] How do I see the processes? [00:05] usr13, running 'thunderbird' from the terminal starts it normal, and no messages are reported [00:05] tjubaluba: this is on a 10,10 setup? or a 10.04 ? [00:05] JohnSQ: pa aux [00:05] Lxndr: Must be that the menu item is pointing to wrong thing.... [00:06] I can't tell from that long list [00:06] usr13, But after the normal start, it still hangs. [00:06] Dr_Willis, im on 10.04 [00:06] Ok, still getting blank screen after reboot with flashing cursor....ubuntu won't load...tried holding shift, and other key combo... [00:06] JohnSQ: pa aux |grep somehing [00:07] Dr_Willis, on a brand new dell laptop [00:07] Dr_Willis, untampered with [00:07] Lxndr: What does it say in the terminal? [00:07] tjubaluba: ive never noticed the message on my 10.04 setup on the same machine. I may look into it later if i reboot back to 10.04 [00:07] Lxndr: Any errors...? [00:07] grep --color=au [00:07] That is the process [00:07] is there an application to organize my music directory ?? [00:07] tjubaluba: you could check the forums. there may be some info on it there [00:07] Dr_Willis, please tell me if you find something... [00:07] --color=auto 55317 [00:08] Dr_Willis, it hasnt posed any problems.. just curious [00:08] usr13, No errors. It's just quiet until I finally terminate it, at which point I just see 'terminated' [00:08] arturo393, organise how [00:08] JohnSQ: pa aux |grep 55317 [00:08] I did that [00:08] I got --color=auto 55317 [00:08] To reiterate, after a fresh install of Lucid Lynx, and after the first reboot, I get a blank screen with flashing cursor, there are no other operating systems on this Intel system [00:08] usr13: organize the folders [00:09] usr13: by albums or artist [00:09] Lxndr: So did thunderibrd load up and function ok? [00:09] jdawg: you may alwo want to state your video chipset. and cpu. and if its a laptop the make/model [00:09] usr13, It functions for the first... 15 or so seconds, then it freezes. [00:09] whenever i boot up 10.04 and start gnome, the panel never loads. [00:09] arturo393, rhythmbox? [00:09] I think I been hacked. Hard drive acting funny after the two 127.0.0.1 popped up [00:10] All I did was run and close KlamAV [00:10] duffydack: how ? [00:10] arturo393, what do you want exactly. [00:10] Which group should I add my user to so that I can use the lsusb command without root privileges? [00:11] Lxndr: apt-get upgrade mozilla-thunderbird [00:11] Lxndr, what does the terminal say when it freezes? [00:11] <__cool__> JohnSQ: where did you get that number 55317 from? [00:11] arturo393, run the program Rhythmbox and import your music and it`ll sort it into artists/abum for you [00:11] duffydack: i want to organize my folders like itunes does [00:11] Dr_Willis: ATI 9550 Radeon - Intel Pentium 5 CPU...Desktop, custom built [00:11] madmike, The terminal says nothing. It is silent until I finally kill the frozen process, at which point it says 'terminated' and ends. [00:11] Kerrick: my user can run lsusb allready without root priv. [00:11] port number listed in active connections under Firestarter [00:11] hmmm, tough one [00:11] <__cool__> JohnSQ: you wont find the port num in the ps list [00:12] guys, is kubuntu the same thing as ubuntu? [00:12] no. [00:12] Nah i heard kubuntu costs monthly fee [00:12] Kubuntu uses the KDE environment [00:12] Dr_Willis, whoops, my bad, I was thinking of another command. [00:12] robsonkarls: Kubuntu = Ubuntu -gnome + kde [00:12] <__cool__> JohnSQ: use something like 'sudo netstat -p | grep ' [00:12] hmm [00:12] and no it does not cost anything. [00:12] Lxndr: Ctrl-c does nothing? [00:12] 127.0.0.1 source, 127.0.0.1 destination. No program listed. Service unknown. This entry exists twice. Only the port is different [00:12] k go t it [00:12] <__cool__> JohnSQ: then you get the PID... then grep for that in ps output [00:13] usr13, ctrl-c ends the process. [00:13] Lxndr: sudo apt-get upgrade mozilla-thunderbird [00:13] 17456 [00:13] Says both are wineserver [00:13] usr13, As for the upgrade, "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [00:13] Ohhh...I didn't remove them from sources...*slaps head* [00:14] I'm messaging from my android. I am at the end of installation for kubuntu 10.10 beta and am getting "executing 'grub-install /dev/mmcblk0' failed. This is a fatal error. [00:14] is here some sort of gnome log? im having problems starting programs from the menues [00:14] Dr_Willis..It's an AGP ATI Radeon 9550 running on an INtel MB with Intel Pentium 5 CPU....could this have something to do with the system hanging at boot-up? [00:14] <__cool__> JohnSQ: whatever. semms you hacked yourself?-) [00:14] robsonkarls: try them both out You can easially install both on the same install. use what you like. [00:14] They still there and haven't vanished [00:15] But netstat says ESTABLISHED 17456/wineserver [00:15] So I guess it is cause of wine [00:15] jdawg: with ATI video.. its hard to tell.. definatly sounds like a video card issue. [00:15] jdawg: i got rid of all my ATI setups ages ago. [00:15] Lxndr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=461857 [00:15] duffydack: or like songbird did [00:16] Is there a way to close both? [00:16] I don't use those ports anyways [00:16] Dr_Wilis: Is there a forum somewhere on ATI cards and Ubuntu issues? [00:17] arturo393, never used it.. [00:17] JohnSQ: Now here are you seeing this, in netstat ? [00:17] <__cool__> JohnSQ: dunno what your're talking about concerning 'remove them from sources'. apt-get remove wine? kill 17456 for the moment? [00:17] talking about video cards.. where can i see what driver im using? [00:17] All of a sudden, Guake isn't showing colors in ubuntu 10.10... :( [00:17] duffydack: ok, thanks anyway [00:17] <__cool__> usr13: yes pid/name is the clue here :) [00:18] Where should. Bootliadet be installed to? [00:18] *bootloader [00:18] OMG I just broke Ubuntu, I looked on the wiki for etiquette, didn't see any do I just say what I did? [00:18] usr13, That helped! Looks like it was a theme thing. [00:19] Lxndr: aaaahhhh ok [00:19] arturo393, for music players like that, there are rhythmbox, banshee, clemetine, amarok, exaile.. some others I cant remember [00:20] usr13, Hm, nevermind. It worked for a few seconds, and now is freezing again. [00:21] hello, i hope anybody can help me. i'm looking for the easiest way to create a complete backup/image of an fully encrypted hdd (alternate install, 10.04), so i can restore this to a new hdd in case of a hdd failure (like trueimage on windows for example). i googled a long time but didn't find a simple solution, although this should be a pretty basic and simple task. of course the backup/image should be encrypted (truecrypt container?), too, otherwis [00:21] RayArnold, clonezilla [00:21] RayArnold, dd? [00:21] oh encrypted.. I dunno about that. [00:22] Does clonezilla use dd? if it does, an encrypted drive shouldn't make much difference. [00:22] to backup encrypted, to encrypted, I`d just rsync [00:23] RayArnold, do you want to backup TO an encrypted destination ? [00:23] backing Up a partition may be better then backing up the whole HD also.. [00:23] if you need byte by byte copy, dd it obviously the best way to go, if you want to minimize the file say there are some tools for that too [00:23] duffydack: yes, for example to a truecrypt container. [00:24] I'm looking for a way to restore /var/lib after I accidentally renamed it /var/lkl . Is this a "re-install" moment? [00:24] !info fsarchiver [00:24] fsarchiver (source: fsarchiver): file system archiver. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.8-1ubuntu0.1 (lucid), package size 94 kB, installed size 280 kB [00:24] shaheenery: boot live cd. mount the / filesystem.. rename it back.. reboot [00:24] nice [00:24] proberly doable without the live cd.. :) but live cds are handy [00:25] thanks doc :) [00:25] I got a Boot entry in my GRUB to boot a Ubuntu.iso file for super-emergancies like that [00:25] bbl [00:25] Anyone having issues with Guake in 10.10, with regards to bashrc coloring? [00:25] DonSlice: see #ubuntu+1 [00:25] Dr_Willis: but i want have a full backup i can restore to a new hdd in case of a hdd failure. [00:26] oo..kayy [00:26] RayArnold: you can backup a partition easier often then you can a whole hd image. [00:26] RayArnold: its a 'minor' differance . but often overlooked. :) [00:26] shaheenery: would mv /var/lil /var/lib work? [00:27] no because I wouldn't have permissions [00:27] RayArnold: You could just leave the extra drive in the machine and make ghost to it every once in a while. [00:27] and I can't sudo because /var/lib is gone..... :/ [00:28] shaheenery: Where did /var/lib go? [00:28] to /var/lkl [00:28] Dr_Willis: so you would use rsync for a complete system backup. does this work from a running system? [00:28] Hello everyone, don't know why this file "debug.log" pops in my home folder again and again, any way to silent it? [00:28] usr13: it's a notebook [00:28] shaheenery: Did you mv /var/lib /var/lkl ? [00:29] RayArnold: Oh, ok.. well I dono [00:29] I sure did [00:29] RayArnold: netbook install? [00:29] this is what is written in that file ---> [0904/211241:ERROR:o3d/core/cross/message_queue.cc(402)] Failed to send boolean response to client handle : Broken pipe [00:29] shaheenery: I did not think of that. However if you use something like Knoppix 6, it can see your stuff and change the name. [00:29] greetings. im using grub2 to boot into 10.04, and i also have another distro on a secondary drive. that distro uses grub legacy, and will not let me set a custom vga widescreen mode such as vga=365. is this something grub2 handles? or am i missing the gfx driver in the 2nd distro? [00:29] Dr_Willis: no [00:30] yeah, basically a livecd fix [00:30] RayArnold, you can use rsync to backup a running system, except that you can't backup .gvfs if someone is using GNOME. However, you don't want to back up .gvfs anyway. [00:30] RayArnold: Can't he just change it back to lib ? [00:30] that's what doc thinks too [00:30] ? [00:30] Hi [00:30] hello guys i have just bought a new laptop copmaq presario cq62, having some issues with the wless network it just doesn't work [00:31] castaway_: and what kind of wireless chip is it? [00:31] is here some sort of gnome log? im having problems starting programs from the menues [00:31] sec === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [00:31] cast: what does iwconfig say? [00:31] I have an Odd AT Keyboard issue. [00:31] Take a look at rsnapshot, in the repository. It's based on rsync. [00:31] A Keyboard of mind is sending control when it should be sending shift. [00:31] usr13: nothing! i don't have wireless ;) [00:31] castaway_, did you check for drivers [00:32] castaway_: lspci |grep -i wireless === elijahlynn is now known as elijah [00:32] castaway_: So iwconfig says "No wireless extensions" or...? [00:32] usr13: thatll miss some things, like '02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 002b (rev 01) [00:32] exactly [00:33] nor lspci [00:33] castaway_: What wireless chip is it? [00:33] Excellent security! :) [00:33] hmm, i'm afraid there are no simple solution [00:33] is [00:33] what's wrong with this: sudo chmod a+rwx -R /ect/X11/xorg.conf ? terminal returns "chmod: cannot access "path" no such file or directory [00:34] RayArnold: if you want to backup running systems take a snapshot [00:34] on KDE 4.3.5 if I have more than 1 monitor must I have more than one desktop activity thing? [00:34] evansp01, I believe it's just a spelling error on IRC, but ect != etc.. could that be it? :) [00:34] castaway: do you get the applet with a list of network connections - also try System-->Administration-->Network Tools you should see a protocol list [00:35] cast: can i do this to an encrypted external hdd? [00:35] usr13, don't know for sure [00:35] RayArnold: sure, if you used LVM, or btrfs, or zfs [00:35] castaway_: What does lspci say? [00:35] lemme check, might have just been a spelling error here [00:35] I just installed a fresh ubuntu server 10.04 and I am having a bit of trouble with accessing internet [00:35] castaway_: Bring up a terminal and type lspci and hit enter. [00:36] I'm using dhcp and the router assigns my computer an ip, but after that I can't seem to be accessing anything [00:36] cast: and what would be the best way to restore such a snapshot? [00:36] Prometheus: do you have an IP address? can you ping the gateway? how about the DNS server? are you able to resolve hostnames? [00:36] Prometheus: what is in /etc/resolv.conf (after nameserver) [00:36] RayArnold: same way as normal [00:37] ProfessorBacon: let me check [00:37] I have an ip address, I know that much [00:37] Prometheus: Open a terminal window and type host av.com and hit enter. [00:38] 3:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

[00:39] so what are you using as a DNS server (refer to usr13's eariler question) [00:39] usr13, FoolishOwl: resolve.conf looks like http://pastie.textmate.org/private/cngnlh027vy611adr21w [00:39] the router [00:39] Prometheus, edit your etc hosts file and change your current nameservers to 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 , comment out the existing ones [00:39] castaway_: lsmod |grep 8101 [00:40] hi, i have a script which edits a picture file which is set as my wallpaper, i cant figure out how to make this script run at the system startup and repeated every minute, any ideas? help?

[00:43] and pastebinit that file :) [00:43] strange: except it's on an entirely different computer that I can't ssh onto [00:43] strange: otherwise I would =) [00:43] Prometheus you could try a different terminal if that bothers you a lot. [00:43] whenever i log in, into gnome, the gnome-panel program doesn't start. [00:43] Prometheus, pastbinit. [00:44] no wless extensions usr13 [00:44] strange: I can't access the computer from my other computers, and that computer has no access to the internets [00:44] very hard to pastebin it =) [00:44] usr13: right, route -n gives me just empty table now [00:45] Prometheus, is anything else plugged in to the router, and successully networked? [00:45] Prometheus, pastebinit is an app [00:45] apt-get install pastebinit [00:45] Prometheus: sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [00:45] then "pastebinit filename" [00:45] FoolishOwl: yes [00:45] oh nm you have no internets [00:45] :) [00:45] strange: yes, that's the problem =) [00:45] usr13: SIOCADDRT: no such process [00:46] FoolishOwl: all of my other machines are fine, just this one that I just freshly installed [00:46] that doesn't work, that is [00:46] it worked in 9.10 [00:46] Hello , I'm worried about reinstalling grub2 I don't want to screw it up. Last time I try'd messing with grub I had to do a total reinstall. Is there any easy way just to make grub install? [00:46] but it doesn't work in 10.04 [00:47] should I try setting up a static IP? [00:47] intrepid & pidgin 2.5.2, how can I install newer version of pidgin that can connect to yahoo? [00:48] castaway_: modprobe r8101 [00:48] castaway_: realtek card? [00:48] yes === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [00:49] Ok, so I'm on Ubuntu, but becoming very dissatisfied with the bloat, so I've decided to migrate to Debian. But I'm on an encrypted partition, so I have to use a separate /boot partition. What do I need to do to use the same partition as Ubuntu. What do I need to do to keep the grub / kernel / initdisk from interfering. [00:49] Is it sufficient to just run update-grub to figure out the new kernels? Or should I just configure the Debian (or Ubuntu) entries by hand? [00:49] usr13, fatal module not found [00:49] IanWizard, yes realtek [00:49] Prometheus, does your router have a log, and have you checked it? [00:49] Prometheus: ifconfig eth0 #What IP address does it show? [00:50] circumbendibus: no, here is where you ask questions [00:50] usr13: apparently none now [00:50] castaway_: what's your problem? I've got a finicky realtek card, maybe I can help [00:50] usr13: it had one before I restarted networking, I'll boot the machine and see what happens =) [00:50] FoolishOwl: I haven't actually checked it, I'll have a look if it does [00:51] it's a Verizon FiOS box [00:51] Prometheus: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.99 ; sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [00:51] IanWizard: I am also dissatisfied with the bloat as well as UI performance. However, I have tried suse, debian, fedora, mandriva and derivatives and see the same [00:51] IanWizard, can't load wless iface [00:51] hence no wless [00:51] usr13: alright, I've some thing in route table now [00:52] Prometheus: ping 192.168.1.1 [00:52] Destionation Host Unreachable [00:52] intrader: I'm on opensuse right now, and I'm pretty satisfied. But still not willing to give up debian. [00:52] intrader: then don't use KDE/GNOME ;) [00:52] intrader: my desktop is *very* fast and minimal :) [00:53] castaway_: Is this a laptop? [00:53] with the exception of firefox, which is always a hog [00:53] castaway_: make sure you have the driver from the realtek site, and make sure it's the latest. that's what it took to get mine working. [00:53] ok, so I just installed Lucid and it doesn't seem to auto-detect my monitor. I would just change xorg.conf but that has been removed. Xorg -configure won't work because I can't get the virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-[f1-f6]) to give me more than a blank screen. $service gdm stop does the same loopy thing and I have to restart. [00:53] is there a cleaning tool for ubuntu , except gconf-cleaner ? [00:53] usr13: I can see the machine on the router's network status screen [00:53] but that's about it [00:53] Prometheus: ping 192.168.1.1 #can you ping it now? [00:53] usr13: still unreachable [00:54] IanWizard, nice [00:54] let me check that [00:55] Prometheus: Go on and reboot, see what happens. [00:56] usr13: that's odd, getting pings back now [00:56] Prometheus: route -n [00:56] IanWizard: open suse 8.2 on Dell Inspiron 8200 worked superbly. Old machine that also runs XP perfectly. Troubles began with 9.10 (and then 10.04) [00:56] although funnily it froze amid pinging.. [00:56] after first 2 pings =) [00:57] have you tried pinging 127.0.0.1 yet? [00:57] ProfessorBacon: it answers to that [00:57] aahk [00:57] Prometheus: You must be getting some bogus DHCP info from your network. Are you sure you have only one DHCP server running on your LAN? [00:57] lets make a contest [00:57] usr13: pretty sure [00:57] intrader: that's exactly right, that's when it started getting bad. and I'm on openSuse 11.3 [00:57] usr13: only the router should be doing dhcp [00:57] cast: I have tried moving away from kde/gnome (xface). But still problems remain. I think it is the kernel, or Xorg [00:58] gnome for the win [00:58] timewriter: ok, first person to ping google wins [00:58] usr13: weird, it does freeze every time I start pinging [00:58] i win [00:58] !ot | timewriter [00:58] timewriter: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[00:59] why you need a script for that [00:59] intrader: seems unlikely, given that kernel/x ran pretty well back in the day with 400MHz/64MB ram [00:59] CkhiKuzad: does it happen with a fresh new user? [00:59] Prometheus: Try restarting the network: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [00:59] yes, jrib [00:59] maverick i sstill beta, right? [00:59] archangelpetro: yes [00:59] timewriter: it's part of a bigger script [00:59] ok :) [00:59] IanWizard, timewriter: take this elsewhere please [00:59] i just use awn terminal [01:00] Prometheus: and then: ifconfig eth0 And see what IP you have. [01:00] jrib, why are you angry today [01:00] I gotta go anyway, jrib: sorry [01:00] timewriter: I'm not? [01:00] youre different than i know you [01:00] CkhiKuzad: run it from a terminal [01:00] come on man , its sunday [01:00] !& [01:00] every so often I boot and there are no frames on my windows (ubuntu 10.04) [01:00] rebooting a few times fixes it [01:00] IanWizard: right: very responsive UI in all applications. Wrong: very slow UI. Started bad: I installed 9.10, then re-installed 9.04 and had the problems, went to 10.04 to remediate. [01:00] but it's irritating. thoughts? [01:00] timewriter, saturday... it is saturday... move to the correct country... geez. [01:01] I can start it in fluxbox jrib, but never in GNOMe [01:01] maybe i am in the right country :) [01:01] timewriter: take the offtopic chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic please [01:01] CkhiKuzad: I have to go. You should run it from a terminal and pastebin output [01:01] ok , sorry [01:01] alright [01:01] ill get on topic [01:01] !|& [01:01] how do i solve the vertical sync issue [01:01] hello ;) how many times for backup with backup-manager ? [01:01] it seems that vsync doesnt work [01:01] !msgthebot > frobisher [01:01] frobisher, please see my private message [01:02] i asked my question a while ago, should i keep asking it, or will someone get to it? it has to do with screen resolution [01:03] circumbendibus: just repeat ~10 minutes [01:03] circumbendibus, can you ask it again please [01:03] ok, so I just installed Lucid and it doesn't seem to auto-detect my monitor. I would just change xorg.conf but that has been removed. Xorg -configure won't work because I can't get the virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-[f1-f6]) to give me more than a blank screen. $service gdm stop does the same loopy thing and I have to restart. Thanks! [01:03] usr13: just a minute, the computer isn't playing nice with me =) [01:03] cast: should I list the problems I have with 10.04? 'IanWizard' went of leaving conversation hanging. [01:03] I might just have to kick up a VM image and install ubuntu on it [01:04] circumbendibus, did you installed the video drivers ? [01:05] its ctrl alt shift F7 , if you want to drop gdm and get to console [01:05] my card is s3 unichrome, i cant find if the driver is even available. the via website didnt list anything for my comp+distro [01:05] damn the s3 :( [01:05] is there anyway to enable 2 finger right click? [01:05] oh! [01:05] i remember i had some problems on a IBM thinkpad T23 [01:05] is there anyway to enable 2 finger right click? [01:05] but i managed to install them [01:06] hey there, i have Ubuntu booting off of a USB stick as persistent that i made using the Pendrive util. i'm trying to mount /home to a hard disk /dev/sda2, it mounts fine manually, but when i put a record in the fstab (as root) it reverts to the default (w/o this entry) every time after a reboot. any idea why this might be happening [01:06] but i still have the problem that C-A-f6 makes me have to reboot. should it be C-A-S-f6? [01:06] same chip [01:06] circumbendibus, do you want to ctrl + alt + shift + F7 ? [01:07] usr13: after restarting networking, ifconfig doesn't show an ip anymore [01:07] usr13: I got a "No DHCPOFFERS received" [01:07] oh , its ctrl + alt + shift + F1 [01:07] ctrl + alt + F8 to go back [01:07] Prometheus: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.99 ; sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [01:07] I'm trying to play something in wine, and the audio won't play. I am using 10.04.1, and volume is set at max. What do i need to do? [01:07] i can try, but ill probably have to reboot. will i be able to make an xorg.conf? because i put the default one in myself, and then i couldnt login after the loading screen [01:08] is multi-touch testing not using utouch package anymore, package doesn't seem to exist [01:08] circumbendibus, you need to stop gdm [01:08] then reconfigure xorg === kish_ is now known as oracle [01:10] Prometheus: host av.com [01:10] usr13: still can't ping the router after that [01:10] and host just times out [01:10] ok, ill try that. is there a website where i can plug in my hardware and it will tell you what distros are compatible? [01:10] when i stop gdm, it freezez and i cant get back [01:10] Prometheus: ifconfig eth0 #What IP does it show to have now? [01:11] circumbendibus, did you try Administration > Hardware drivers ? [01:11] 192.168.1.99 [01:11] Prometheus: ping 192.168.1.99 [01:11] Prometheus: ping 192.168.1.1 [01:11] I get an answer back [01:11] .1.1 is unreachable [01:12] every so often after I boot there are no frames on my windows. rebooting a coupel times fixes this. is this a known problem? [01:12] Prometheus: Check / Change network cable and / or port on router. [01:12] evanescent: next time just try restarted x :) [01:12] Is there something in linux that does this? http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2nDk1S/www.howtogeek.com/howto/12131/find-your-computers-location-with-windows-7-and-geosense/ [01:12] usr13: I'll do that, thanks [01:12] thanks but that's not really a solution [01:13] i want to stop it from happening [01:13] evanescent: find root cause -> fix problem. step 1 in finding cause, *isolate* [01:13] evanescent: but sure, do whatever you want ;) [01:13] so supposing restarting X fixes it [01:13] then what [01:14] Heey , i already have WIne on my computer , but i still cant get Msn Messenger on my computer .. [01:14] just use amsn or something? [01:14] you said rebooting a couple of times...rather than just once, which is curious [01:15] it happens a lot. i figured it was just chance [01:15] sometimes once works [01:15] i'd say there's between a 1/3 and 1/2 chance of it happening on any given boot [01:16] irrespective of whether it happened immediately before [01:16] but thats just my guess [01:16] hi [01:16] hi, how can i set a program to auto-run when start-up? [01:16] i'm trying to install kubuntu-desktop and am receiving this error: Failed to fetch http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/a/amarok/amarok-utils_2.3.0-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [01:16] so how often does it happen with an x restart [01:16] i tried to apt-get update --fix-missing but it doesn't solve the problem [01:16] can someone advise? [01:17] hi, how can i set a program to auto-run when start-up? [01:17] Heey , i already have Wine on my computer , but i still cant get Msn Messenger on mky comptuer.. any one have awnsers ? [01:17] Takeasy, use an init script [01:17] remote: try a different mirror, hash sum mismatch is fairly clear [01:18] cast, i'm using mirrors.kernel.org [01:18] can u explain more? i'm new to this remote [01:18] unclear. i can check later [01:18] remote: i know. [01:18] Takeasy: Sessions -> Program Startup [01:18] right, can you suggest me another one? [01:18] Takeasy, be as specific as you can and try to describe precisely what you are wanting to do and why [01:18] I'm trying to mount a partition but I'm getting "wrong fs type bad option bad superblock on" [01:19] Takeasy: System \ Preferences\ Sessions [01:19] shaheenery, what type of partition? [01:19] i could, but that would involve me opening up a browser, which i think you could do instead of me ;) [01:19] it's either ext3 or 4 [01:19] thx all, i found it [01:19] it's ext something [01:19] cast, try /exec -o grep ^http /etc/apt/source.list | head -1 [01:19] i thought i have to code some sudo things...... [01:20] remote: sources.list, and that won't help you [01:21] that's where you configure the mirror(s) your system uses [01:21] !sudo [01:21] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:21] remote: for a start the lines don't fit that format, furthermore they're not ubuntu mirrors and lastly, they're private mirrors [01:21] what are you talking about? [01:21] you said i should change mirror [01:21] sources.list [01:22] yes. i did. [01:22] but not to my mirror. [01:22] so that's where i change the mirror [01:22] oh! [01:22] cast, where should i report my problem? [01:23] i don't know, but i imagine its one that resolves itself over time [01:24] does anyone know much about using blacktrack? [01:25] 12356881235688li [01:25] sleeppy777: Backtrack Linux isn't supported here, try #backtrack-linux [01:26] cast, removing amarok* in /var/cache/apt/... fixed the problem ...! [01:26] thank you [01:26] remote: it may have been the mirror was syncing and you just hit it at the wrong time [01:27] interesting [01:27] :) [01:27] bad timing :) [01:28] ok thanks! [01:29] how to troubleshoot a gnome/ubuntu "programlauncher" menu item... nothing happens when i click it [01:30] hello everyone :D [01:30] tjubaluba, have you tried the item from the terminal? [01:31] what app is it tjubaluba [01:31] good night [01:31] tjubaluba, other items are responding? [01:32] tjubaluba, what application [01:32] Yaywn [01:33] intrader, hiexpo: Yes, and the app is .sh script launching a ruby IDE ... that does require some of my accounts .bashrc env variables [01:33] I have bee using freenode for a while, but only now registered, when I log on, it tells me the nick is already registered and to use "identify ". why is this happening and how do i fix it? I'm using Empathy as mu client. [01:33] BTW, when I use "identify ", all is well, so I'm pretty sure its a configuration issue [01:34] !why [01:34] Hi [01:35] Verminator: It's a standard message, before you're identified you're just some person trying to use the nick "Verminator" and so you're being warned that it's registered (in case it's not actually you). [01:36] tjubaluba, I assume you have tried the script from the terminal. The terminal is running as you, and may not have the variables the IDE expectsl [01:36] intrader, yes.. tried in terminal [01:37] Does anyone know I'm getting an installation error when installing from the CD that file doesn't match source copy? I've done the integrity check when booting with it but there's no errors there. [01:37] Jordan_U, so how do I automatically identify w/ each log in then, so as to log in as the real Verminator. [01:37] intrader, so "program in terminal" would run .bashrc right? [01:38] Verminator, I had the same problem. What I had to do was have Staff reinstate my account. [01:38] tjubaluba, that is a config file for the bach shell, you cant just run it, there is a command, which I cant think of, to parse it and apply changes, let me look for command [01:39] tjubaluba, what is the first line of the script? === plouffe_ is now known as plouffe [01:39] Verminator,you need to register an acount. [01:40] intrader, #!/bin/sh [01:41] frobisher, I did register the account and verified it, but when I log in it wants me to use "identify ". I'm think I just need to somehow configure empathy to make sure I log on as the real Verminator. [01:41] Verminator: It depends on your IRC client, which are you using? [01:41] The bot don't work.It tells you how to register(!why) [01:42] Jordan_U, empathy 2.30.2 [01:42] Verminator, oh okey.. so .bashrc isnt run from "Program in terminal" menu items? [01:43] This morning they where working on the system ,but maybe it's not all fixed yet. [01:43] hello [01:43] tjubaluba, no, it is run automatically when u log in, there is a command to reparse it, I'm trying to find it now, I forget what it is off the top o my head [01:43] source [01:43] Verminator: http://library.gnome.org/users/empathy/stable/irc-nick-password.html.en [01:43] frobisher, ok thx, I'll checxk that out [01:43] source .bashrc [01:43] :) [01:44] meh. SSH will connect to a server, scp won't work with it. Can anyone explain this? :/ [01:44] tjubaluba, Verminator Not necessarily By detault bash, but the first line actually could direct it to use another shell. [01:44] An_Ony_Moose, what is the error? [01:44] the connection times out [01:44] ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection timed out [01:44] purrdeta, yes thats it, tjubaluba, thATS what I wa sthinking of, thx purrdeta [01:44] Here is my issue...After an installation of Lucid Lynx, I reboot, then I get a black screen with flashing cursor...It goes through POST but I don't think Grub is loading...holding down shift, e, or other key combos don't work...I also don't think it is my video card since this just happens after post, and before grub....an ideas? I've been pulling my hair out all day lol [01:45] np :D [01:45] intrader, thx for that extra info, I did not know that [01:46] um... i'm trying to get to the #xubuntu chat... anyone know how i do that? [01:46] Verminator, np [01:46] jdawg: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [01:46] spacegravity4me, type /j #xubuntu [01:46] okay, ty [01:46] np :) [01:46] Has anyone been able to game on HP laptops running on ubuntu? [01:47] Is there still no fix for the Acer 532h netbook card reader? [01:48] Jordan_U: Should i do this through terminal from my Ubuntu live USB? [01:48] OK, I accidentally selected the wrong partition to format when doing mke2fs, I canceled it during the first part of the process (creating tables). Is there a chance I can still recover data from the partition? [01:48] jdawg: Yes. [01:48] RudyValencia: yes. [01:48] how? :) [01:48] my usb ports are all offline / dead, lsusb hangs and cant even be killed. Any suggestions for getting USB back online w/o rebooting? [01:49] RudyValencia: What filesystem was there previously? [01:49] RudyValencia: well thats the tricky bit... [01:49] Jordan_U: I will do that first thing tomorrow. I have my computer apart in pieces trying to single out the problem, lol [01:49] damn... i pressed ctrl+alt+f2 which tossed me out of X/gnome and im now in console land [01:49] Jordan_U: ext3 [01:49] how do i get back?! [01:49] PLEASE.. very tiresome [01:49] Jordan_U: Thanks a bunch! [01:49] karlw, u can get back w/ ctrl+alt+f7 [01:49] jdawg: You're welcome.

Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [01:50] Jordan_U: The drive had an ext3 filesystem. [01:50] Verminator, thanx a handful [01:50] tjubaluba, np [01:50] got really scared there in monochrome land [01:50] gotto go [01:50] bye [01:50] there's at least 1 tool for recovery from ext3, i'd make a snapshot of the fs and give it a whirl [01:51] Is there still no fix for the Acer 532h netbook card reader? [01:51] hello [01:51] Can somebody help out with a audio problem? [01:51] what problem? [01:52] you could try using a backup superblock [01:52] RudyValencia: No matter what happens you'll be able to get most of your files back with photorec, but I'd like to see if we can actually get the filesystem mountable again. [01:52] OK [01:52] In windows 7, I disabled front jeck detection to get them working, and they work fine. In ubuntu, the headphone jack (front) works fine, but no microphone... [01:52] cast: You read my mind :) [01:52] Is there something similar to jack detection I can disable? [01:52] the computer this drive is in is booted to a live CD [01:53] Jordan_U, thx for the link, exactly what I was looking for, unfortunatly, thats what i did and still have the problem, thx anyway [01:53] Microman171, have you tried alsamixergui or gamix? [01:54] zzzed: Tried alsamixer, and there is only one input showing up, the rear connector. The rear works fine. [01:54] Verminator: Are you actually not identified before you manually run "/msg nickserv identify foo"? You will get the message you mentioned earlier even when everything is setup correctly. [01:54] Jordan_U: What do I do next? [01:54] zzzed: Should I try gamix? [01:55] Microman171, why not give it a shot [01:55] hi, i need a testdisk expert [01:55] Jordan_U, yes, I have to manually identify each time I log in. [01:56] Hi, I often connect to a server at "lectura.cs.arizona.edu" [01:56] Is there a way to set up my system so Ic an just type "ssh lectura" instead of typing the whole domain name [01:56] RudyValencia: have a read of http://planet.admon.org/howto/using-alternative-superblock-to-check-ext3/ [01:56] RudyValencia: First run "sudo fsck -n /dev/sdXY" (where XY is replaced with the proper drive and partition) and pastebin the results. This will run fsck *without letting it attempt to repair*, don't try to actually repair with fsck yet. [01:56] uman: put an alias in your /etc/hosts file [01:57] uman, a neat way to do it is in a config file in .ssh [01:57] hallo zusammen is hier jemand der auch 'nur' deutsch spricht?

[01:57] uman that way you can set other site specific things for ssh along with the full hostname [01:57] zzzed: Nope. I don't think the OS can see the front mic? There is only one channel [01:57] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/X6CWkTZH [01:57] sync3times: thanks [01:58] i was thinking if time isn't important, and there's not enough space to make an image of the drive, one could par2 the block device @ say 10% and be able to revert changes that way [01:58] how do you force kill a process..i can't get rid of something [01:58] mobasher: There is a kill command, or a killall command [01:59] Microman171, what type of audio card? [01:59] i have this process i want to kill "[ssh-agent] [01:59] " [01:59] cast: I haven't another hard disk that can hold the contents of this one [01:59] mobasher, zombies, hard to kill [01:59] mobasher, you need to first find the PID of the process [01:59] moe 3629 3492 0 20:02 ? 00:00:00 [ssh-agent] [02:00] mobasher, its a zombie process. It failed to give its return code to its parent because its parent was dead.

[02:02] testdisk [02:02] heh [02:02] It found one backup superblock [02:02] k great..thanks guys apprecaite it [02:02] Verminator: You shouldn't need to do that manually, no. [02:03] Verminator, if you're using xchat, it will do it for you automagically. [02:03] Now I can run e2fsck -n -b (that number) /dev/sdb1 to see if it will work (read-only, of course - we don't want to do anything until we're 100% sure!) [02:03] Jordan_U, thx for the clarification, jk_, using empathy and I think i have it set correctly, but need to identify manually each time [02:03] Ooh three backups so far [02:03] ask empathy folks or look in docs to see if you can run commands on server connect [02:03] Good, I still have a chance [02:04] ...Ext2 superblock found at sector 89915392 (block=11239424, blocksize=4096) [02:04] Ext2 superblock found at sector 163840000 (block=20480000, blocksize=4096) [02:04] Ext2 superblock found at sector 191102976 (block=23887872, blocksize=4096) [02:04] pdk, good suggestions [02:05] I'm lucky [02:05] !pastebin [02:05] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[02:06] lspci says "network controller: device 3fff:bfff", iwconfig doesnt find any wireless connection [02:06] zzzed: Integrated Realtek [02:07] I'm on a laptop with Lucid, and when I plug my 2nd monitor in and adjust the monitor preferences to the resolution and refresh rate recommended by the external monitor, the screen shows up but it's fuzzy and shaky. lspci shows that Ubuntu is picking up the right video drivers [02:08] anyone with knowledge with setting up soundcards? [02:08] jaysern, what refresh are you trying, is it vga or dvi [02:08] vga [02:08] 60 [02:08] I just performed a routine system update, but when I try to start Ubuntu with the latest kernel, the system drops into an (initramfs) prompt. I am now using the last kernel that was working before the update. [02:08] jaysern, good cable? [02:08] hmm [02:08] as far as I know yes [02:09] (by trying it on a different computer) [02:09] jaysern, fast machine, good video chipset? [02:09] thx all for the help, I'll be logging on and off for testing, thx again, much appreciated. [02:09] yup, not a clunker [02:10] jaysern, can you boot up with just the monitor, ie your laptop is closed and not trying to display video? And using a ext. keyboard. Is it still jump then?

According to driver manager in Windows *Where im getting sound* the comp has a realtek (sp?) soundcard...P4 @server x series computer, built in soundcard [02:11] TheMusicGuy: press Esc when the system starts booting and see if you can discern any relevant error messages [02:12] im having adobe flash problems [02:12] sync3times: so it's not a driver problem, is it ? [02:12] * jaysern trying to rule out problems [02:12] ilovefairuz, "when the system starts booting"? When exactly? After I've selected the kernel from Grub? [02:12] im not sre can you help [02:12] TheMusicGuy: yes [02:13] how do i check my video card and update it in ubuntu [02:13] any ideas on setting up my sound? [02:13] netbook_: define update first [02:13] ilovefairuz, there is actually an error message that said something about disk-by-id or something that comes up just before the prompt [02:13] jaysern, I would like to eliminate the chance that running two desktop is too much for the card. You are extending the desktop onto the external right? Is it nvidia btw? [02:14] hmmmm ... okay. well, it works perfectly fine in Windows Vista [02:14] TheMusicGuy: what's the exact error?

[02:15] im having issues getting vlc to stream a DVD [02:15] TheMusicGuy: look in /var/log/messages starting bottom up [02:15] cast, Jordan_U: thanks [02:15] the audio comes through not the video [02:15] can someone help?

[02:18] its broadcasting from a windows machine to a linux machine [02:18] Does anyone know how to make a custom color scheme for gedit? I've tried making one but all I get when I try to add it is "the selected color scheme cannot be installed"? [02:18] yay! [02:18] if i connect on the windows machine using 127.0.0.1 it produces no video [02:18] lenswipe|debian, its probably copy protection.

Droping to a shell!" That uuid refers to the partition were i have ubuntu installed. I first thought it was by hard disk, but i can boot fine with 2.6.32-23 kernel. Any ideas?? thanks [02:19] RudyValencia, time to back them up, in case it happens again! [02:19] lenswipe|debian, vnc is working in all other respects, but it stops working when you are looking at a movie? [02:19] ilovefairuz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/nAwq692m [02:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/488535/ for info for soundcard [02:19] sync3times: no worries i appreciate the help. [02:19] sync3times, vlc* [02:20] jk_: yeah, I will. But first I must (correctly) format the USB external drive. [02:20] also to test the cable, i plugged in another computer to this monitor - and it works. so the cable is ok [02:20] Man, this gedit thing is annoying. No results on google either. [02:20] sync3times, not vnc [02:20] lenswipe|debian, whoops. srry [02:20] ubottu is actually really helpful [02:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:20] ilovefairuz, I don't think that will work. The error occurs before any drives have even been mounted, so no errors could have been reported to /var/log/messages. But I will post it anyway: [02:21] sync3times, its k :) [02:21] sync3times, so any ideas about VLC [02:21] ? [02:21] any ideas? [02:21] only the audio is coming through [02:21] lenswipe|debian, is the firewall on the windows box down? [02:21] hmm... gnome menu "program launcher" doesnt seem to get variables set in .bashrc [02:21] http://pastebin.com/6Vk9KVDf [02:21] sync3times, yes - but it happens even if i run 2 instances of VLC on the windows box and connect one to the other with 127.0.0.1 [02:22] lenswipe|debian, well, you are getting audio, so its not connection....damn [02:22] sync3times, infact if i select "Play locally" the audio plays locally but not the video [02:22] asin [02:22] when streaming i tell it to play it locally too [02:22] lenswipe|debian, oh, so it wont play at all [02:22] sync3times, no it will play if i just watch the movie [02:22] but if i try and stream it and select play locally then it wont play the video even on the windows machine [02:23] sync3times, when streaming you can have it so that it renders the stream on the local machine too [02:23] and if i select that iti doesnt render the video [02:23] lenswipe|debian, got it. I remember the feature now [02:23] i have a question guys... i run a netgear wnr2000v2 router, how can i get this to run with ubuntu? [02:23] Jplug it in [02:23] J381, ethernet cable [02:24] its all on the TCP/IP stack it its compatable [02:24] hi all. How do I change mouse pointers on 10.04? I can't see it mentioned anywhere under settings. [02:24] so i cannot use it as a wireless router? [02:24] sync3times, on a side note have you ever worked with an exbox? [02:24] lenswipe|debian, can you get a video that is definitely not copy protected playing on vlc and try to stream it just to be sure? Something public [02:24] sync3times, xbox* [02:24] sync3times, sure [02:24] lenswipe|debian, my minion fixes them . I have not personally done so [02:24] sync3times, i was over at my friends trying to get his XBOX to stop giving the "Nat configuration too strict" message [02:24] sync3times, 3 words about XBOX after that [02:24] alright, how bout this, is there software similar to hardware manager in windows for gnome so that i can see the list of hardware/drivers?

[02:25] i wouldnt have thought it possible [02:25] lenswipe|debian: ? [02:26] lnewlfe, check out gnome-device-manager for something very windows like ;) [02:26] J381, hook up the network cable - you sahould be good to go [02:26] After I choose my option on from the GRUB menu, all I get is a blinking white underscore at the top left of my screen :( [02:26] im just lookin to get my soundcard to work man lol [02:26] ...or woman... [02:26] ilovefairuz, I'm going to try something. brb. [02:27] lenswipe|debian, if you play music with your vlc, then the streaming works right? [02:27] lnewlfe: was there ever sound? [02:27] no [02:27] so wait, connect the ethernet yellow cable to my laptop? [02:27] sync3times, hang on [02:27] not with hardy heron edition either, and my comp wont run 10.04 LTS [02:27] sync3times, i only got audio going over [02:27] How can i play xvidformat? [02:27] oh no [02:27] lnewlfe: try and reboot: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic [02:28] sync3times, i got video going over if i try and stream a ffile [02:28] like an AVI or w/e [02:28] lenswipe|debian, that works? [02:28] I used adduser to make a new user still the user is not listed with users, why ? [02:28] what does backports have to do with it? [02:28] sync3times, sure [02:28] lenswipe|debian, but not a dvd [02:28] streaming a file works [02:28] but not a DVD [02:28] Has anyone ever seen a case of a black screen with white curser, immediately following a choice from the GRUB menu? [02:28] lenswipe|debian, What's the lenswipe part of your name mean? [02:29] hey all, I have a Brother HL-2170w wifi printer which I've gotten to work pretty much without a hitch, however, it takes sometimes 2-3 minutes to spool the print job. Is there something that I've done wrong? [02:29] lenswipe|debian, still seems like drm [02:29] edbian, long story [02:29] sync3times, F***ING DRM [02:29] what is this backport modules? [02:29] ilovefairuz: gonna try that, but does that pply to me? sounds like that's a solution for a soundcard issue ? [02:29] lenswipe|debian, no, really you shouldnt hold in your feelings like that, its not good for you [02:29] if it's multiple pages it can take upwards of 5 minutes to print. I'm using the recommended driver from openprinting.org [02:30] sync3times, i wont - ill go and write hate mail to RIAA [02:30] :) [02:30] lenswipe|debian, ahhh [02:30] lenswipe|debian, best leave the bear alone.

[02:31] lenswipe|debian, can you try ripping the movie to a avi or something and then play/stream it? [02:31] sync3times, idk how do i rip to AVI?

Is there a program out there that uses a notification engine like knotify to give me reminders for set dates? [02:32] did the repois ever fix the problem with pidgin / twitter messanger [02:32] sync3times, the situation is this - my laptop has a DVD drive but the VGA out on it is broken, the machine connected to the nice HD monitor i want to play the movie on doesnt have a DVD drive - see the dilemma? [02:32] im the one with the soundcard issues lol [02:32] i cant shift them between machines because one is a laptop and the other is a Dell [02:32] BrianE, mine says "cut power" as an option :( [02:32] sounds works fine for me .. it's my extended monitor that is fuzzy and shaky [02:32] lenswipe|debian, yes I see.

[02:33] lenswipe|debian, ooooh, now the gods will be angered [02:33] so i installed the backport modules, what did i change/can expect upon reboot ilovefairuz?

[02:45] sweetpi, ok i tried it - it doesnt play [02:45] When I close my laptop lid for more than about 5 minutes, the laptop conks out. Not a standard shutdown, the laptop actually just powers off, like you'd expect if it had no battery and the power was cut. It's not a hardware issue as I can't replicate it under other OSs; has anyone got any ideas / suggestions? [02:45] TheMusicGuy, than if u type 'exit' u should be able to log into ubuntu. right? [02:45] You still here ilovefairuz? [02:45] lenswipe|debian: you can see the files in /media/win_dvd ? [02:45] ola [02:45] sweetpi, sure [02:46] skumara, I didn't try that. I just used the grub menu to change the root device on the command line to the actual device name rather than the UUID.

[02:46] except* [02:47] sweetpi, i can see the stuff in there i just cant get VLC to play the damn files [02:47] edbian: No, it wouldn't have time to suspend to disk if it's just dying instantly, and the system doesn't 'wake' when it's turned on in any case =\ [02:47] I made an amazing discovery today. I have a wireless mouse. I'm pretty sure the wires that all connect to the back of my system were messing with the radio signals. Is there some way I can stop this? What if I put foil around the other wires or something? [02:47] tjubaluba, btw, if you do it wrong, you will bring your system to its knees the next time you boot [02:48] BrianE, You said it takes 5 minutes? [02:48] TheMusicGuy, thats ok. I have same problem with my acer 4520. Every time i need to manuall mount my /dev/sda5 than when i exit i can boot my ubuntu. it is a bug that i am waiting for a patch from ubuntu. [02:48] lenswipe|debian: if you did open directory > video_ts in vlc iirc it should play it. otherwise there is a main file in the video_ts that you could try to play. cant remember the name of it of the top of my head [02:48] any additional info you can use from me to figure out this sound thing? [02:48] sync3times, yeah.. i got the impression it can dangerous to fiddle with these things =D [02:48] sync3times, i think ill have to ggl more [02:48] BrianE, Also, suspend to hdd appears to be off completely (no power is being consumed). It checks for a suspend to disk image every time it turns on. If it finds one it boots. Many laptops are set to "hibernate" when the laptop lid is shut. [02:49] edbian: I see things like gdm-session-worker and gnome-session. but I also see things like kdeinit4 and klauncher, and mutter. [02:49] edbian: It isn't a gradual process, the laptop is fine and normal if I open the lid before then - the 5 minutes is rough, as I've never actually timed it specifically [02:49] edbian: no metacity [02:49] litropy, You have both running together some how for some reason. [02:49] lenswipe|debian: other that that, the only thing i can think of is you dont have libdvdcss installed [02:49] But if I don't, it decides to instantly die for some reason, I'm fairly sure it's not suspending to disk. The option in "Power Management" is set to "Blank Screen", too [02:50] BrianE, So there is some cutoff point at which it suddenly shuts down as if the plug was suddenly pulled. [02:50] edbian, how do I switch to gdm yet still be able to open kde apps? [02:50] edbian: Yes [02:50] Can someone help me with an issue I am having with a USB drive? [02:50] IE, a while ago I brought my laptop upstairs to brush my teeth with the lid closed, came back to it and it was dead again [02:51] litropy, Well. when you log in choose "gnome" in the sessions menu. The KDE apps will still show up in your menu and they'll work. You don't have to log into kde (or gnome) to use apps from kde (or gnome). [02:51] (That's not what I'm basing it off, it's just another time it's happened - one of the ~15 times I've noticed it) [02:51] BrianE, That's a very strange problem. I'm not sure! :P [02:51] Isn't it just? [02:51] :P [02:51] skumara, I would like to edit my boot configuration so that the change I made to the boot line will be permanent, but it seems the old /boot/grub/menu.lst no longer exists... [02:52] edbian, the wm just logs in - no pulldown for sessions. How do I get it back? [02:52] anyone else mind helpin out with my soundcard? [02:52] how do i upgrade xorg-macros in lucid? it says i have 1.5 but 18. is needed === ipatrol_ is now known as ipatrol [02:52] i haven o sound from install [02:52] Of course, because it cuts dead immediately there are no log files or dumps, lol [02:53] BrianE, power management is actually a well known rats nest of problems. When MS introduced the idea hardware manufacturers started implementing it in their systems. Some cheaper ones started making buggy / crappy ones that worked any way because windows would alter their OS just to allow these hardware to work correctly. Now for Linux, it's impossible to get it to work well for many machines because they're all different. [02:53] When i boot ubuntu 10.04 up, it says it is waiting for my USB drive to mount, and I have to "Wait for it to continue" or press "S to skip", and it does this even without the USB drive plugged in, I have to press S to skip, or plug the drive in in order to start the laptop [02:53] litropy, Do not have to put in your password / username at all? [02:53] edbian: correct. [02:53] how do I make it so I can start my computer up but before it logs into ubuntu it needs a password instead of me locking the screen ? [02:54] edbian: Is ACPI not standardised? [02:54] any other suggestions ilovefairuz? [02:54] BrianE, It is but very poorly. And like I said, many people simply don't follow it and Microsoft makes room for them. [02:55] litropy, Are you in KDE now or gnome? [02:55] lnewlfe: what are you trying to test sound with? did you install restricted extras? [02:55] edbian: The root of all evil, again!

Linus HATE acpi [02:55] HATES* [02:55] mrvdv, system->login screen [02:55] ok ty [02:56] mrvdv: Go to System Preferences -> Login Manager, and click 'Unlock' in the dialog that comes up. Type your password, hit enter, then select "Show the screen for choosing who will login", and close the dialog [02:56] edbian: like I said, kde cursor, kde loadscreen, yet gnome-like look. UNR with Unity. [02:56] Oh [02:56] ilovefairuz, i havnt installed any restricted extracts, and i tried to test sound with alsamixer like you suggested, tweaking levels. I assume it would make a "ping" noise when changed... [02:56] extras* [02:56] litropy, Do you have a gnome-panel or kde panel? [02:56] I typed that out for no reason, heh [02:56] hi, i need a testdisk expert [02:56] edbian: Do you know him personally? :P [02:56] edbian: gnome [02:56] what is the equivalent to "source" in sh ? [02:57] litropy, try this: "gksu gdmsetup" [02:57] lnewlfe: no it doesn't make any sounds by itself.. [02:57] lol gotcha gimmie a sec [02:57] BrianE, No. I wish. I know from quotations from code comments and such. [02:57] ...or what is the "source" in bash equivalent in sh ? [02:57] lnewlfe: told you to run something that makes sound like a music player, AND then tinker with alsamixer [02:58] hello world! [02:58] BrianE, http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds there is one on their about acpi [02:58] tjubaluba, "." [02:58] ldurden, hi : [02:58] :) [02:58] !ot | edbian BrianE [02:58] edbian BrianE: #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! [02:59] How can i get help with an issue with ubuntu 10.04? [02:59] ldurden, howdy [02:59] bazhang, He is having a problem with acpi. I'm just explaining to him how it's a mess. What is off topic? [02:59] edbian: I get the pane, I click unlock, and nothing happens. All options are inactive. [02:59] nextlayer, You ask us :) [02:59] hello everyone. i have a problem with ubuntu crashing [02:59] edbian, talking extensively about Linus Torvalds. please stay on topic [02:59] What is this room designated for? Main topics? [02:59] How do I find the UUID of my root drive? [02:59] i didnt know if I was visible to the chat, asked question but i didnt get an answer lol [02:59] litropy, What? Did you run "gksudo gdmsetup" [02:59] edbian: except close [03:00] bazhang, Linus is offtopic? Ok, you're the op. [03:00] edbian: exactly. [03:00] !ask | ldurden [03:00] ldurden: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:00] I need help with my USB drive, I unmounted it, and every reboot, it says i need to "Wait for the drive to be ready", "Press S to skip" even if the drive is not plugged in [03:00] hey guys im looking for a way to tether my windows mobile phone to ubuntu 10.04 [03:00] kla: So SH : ". ~/.bashrc" is the same as "source ~/.bashrc" ? [03:00] ldurden, general ubuntu linux questions/answers [03:00] ldurden, If anyone knows the answer... [03:00] hi, i need a testdisk expert [03:00] why on god's green earth and stallman's undyed beard is Empathy the default chat client? [03:00] anyone know how to setup tethering on ubuntu lucid [03:01] got it thank you [03:01] has anyone had a problem with the ubuntu software center causing it to crash when you maximize it ? [03:01] ipatrol: Haha :P [03:01] Is it not stable now? [03:01] ipatrol, get pidgin :) [03:01] picard1400, it just works. Does your phone show up as a modem in network manager? [03:01] no it does not have a full [03:01] I think they finally fixed the 9001 showstopper bugs, so it should be fine if you run an update now [03:01] hi, i need a testdisk expert [03:01] ubuntu desktop its server edition [03:02] tjubaluba, i'm not sure which language you have in mind that has 'source' but assuming it includes the source of another file verbatim it should be it [03:02] ilovefairuz, no, still no sound, at least from youtube videos... [03:02] sync3times if i just plug it in... and hit connect [03:02] your saying it should work.. RDNIS is working [03:02] i mean the software "testdisk" [03:02] picard1400, worked for me out of the box, but I DID have to set my phone in modem mode rather than mass-storage mode [03:02] tjubaluba: yes, "source" and "." are identical. [03:02] no one has any suggestions? hate to wipe it because of small problem [03:03] My laptops HDD has a few bad sectors on it that cause file corruption. What's the best way to backup a ubuntu install so that i can dump it onto a replacement HDD? [03:03] lnewlfe: unmute (M key) and max everything in alsamixer [03:03] im not muted [03:03] and i do have enything maxed [03:04] : remastersys? [03:04] i'm new to IRC, is there a room for offtopic chat? [03:04] Belias: #ubuntu-offtopic [03:04] well, I switched to Xchat [03:04] gnome version [03:05] nw | kla: What if i wanna "." / source a bash script from a sh script? Possible? [03:05] lnewlfe: individual controls could be muted too [03:05] but why did they ever mess with pidgin, it worked fine! [03:06] tjubaluba: "source" and "." are bash commands, not sh commands [03:06] makes about as much sense as fried rocks [03:06] not true [03:06] rww: i made a Question there! [03:06] how do i stop USB drive from wanting to mount on startup? [03:06] ipatrol: then install pidgin, remove empathy, and live happily? [03:06] nw: so not possible to "source" a bash script from a sh script [03:07] nextlayer: /etc/fstab [03:07] thanks all [03:07] tjubaluba: 1) my name is rww, 2) considering that the concept of sourcing something is a bashism, it obviously wouldn't work in a sh script. [03:07] tjubaluba, the big problem is that it will try, but if you have bash specific stuff in your script, plain sh will abort the script. . interpret inside your existing script [03:07] rww: I know, but if baffles me as to why I had to do that [03:07] I unmuted every channel and maxed every level and nothing ilovefairuz [03:07] ipatrol: because your view of applications is not universally held, and is apparently not the same as the Desktop team's [03:07] ipatrol: Empathy has audo and video support, I guess Canonical thought that would please a lot of the users that boycotted Ubuntu because they couldn't use their webcam in chat [03:07] quentusrex: unless you explicitly call bash in the script: bash script.sh [03:08] how do i encrypt my home directory with ubuntu? [03:08] tjubaluba ^ [03:08] BrianE: and that couldn't have been added to pidgin? [03:08] hi, i need a testdisk expert [03:08] i mean the software "testdisk" [03:08] ipatrol: The Pidgin team have no interest in it, so no [03:09] chris_osx: that should have been done on install [03:09] wow this room is crowded is there another irc channel where I can get help ? [03:09] chris_osx, you want to encrypt some files or run out of an encrypted filesystem? [03:09] I am having severe connection drop out and response time delay over ssh to my work place.. is there a ssh server to which I can connect to and possibly isolate the issue.. [03:09] I created a mysql user and added all priviliges but when logging in both as root and mysql i get Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed. [03:09] chris_osx: You either use something like TrueCrypt, or try using an encrypted LVM (would require a reinstallation for the latter, though) [03:09] "require a password to log in and decrypt my home folder" [03:09] arkaxow, This is the only Ubuntu room. The other rooms are specific versions (this language that language, kubuntu, etc etc) [03:10] we should make subtopic rooms [03:10] Is anyone in here using two monitors? I have a second monitor but if I set the twin view and reboot it does not load the window manager. I then have the relaunch it manually. It loads but doesn't respond. [03:10] ipatrol: usb pendrives are not mounted in fstab, they are mounted by nautilus, (gconf key /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount ) [03:10] ah [03:10] arkaxow: This room is slightly crowded, yes, but mostly on-topic. If you want help, ask your question here. It's very likely you'll get an answer [03:10] in Lucid, w/ gnome desktop, does anyone else have all new windows start below existing windows? [03:11] -> !ot | Verminator ? [03:11] hey all. I've got question about mouse pointers - I can't find anywhere to change the mouse pointer. [03:11] so we sacrificed incalcuable chat features to the hopy god Webcam? [03:11] Where do I find a place to change what mouse pointer I have? [03:11] BrianE, sorrry, I have no idea what that means [03:12] and a seperate program wasn't enough to appese this deity? [03:12] System - Preferences - Mouse [03:12] brianE: I just installed ubuntu for the first time and was searching for commonly used applications. When I go to Ubuntu Software Center then maximize it, then it crashes. [03:12] tried that. THere's no pointers tab. [03:12] ipatrol: Basically, yes. Empathy also looks more aesthetically pleasing than Pidgin - If it bloody worked, it'd be a better chat application for most people than Pidgin [03:13] erm [03:13] sorry [03:13] arkaxow: Are you using desktop effects? [03:13] oh, so i have to reinstall everything? ok [03:13] BrianE: hence the old FOSS adage not to reinvent the wheel [03:13] System - Preferences - Appearence [03:13] then go Customize [03:13] There's just a "General" and "Accessibility" tab. [03:13] and you have Pointers [03:13] hm? [03:13] ohhhhhh. [03:13] chris_osx: No, read what other people said, too [03:13] So _that_ is where they shifted to. Thank you. [03:13] yeah :) [03:14] youre welcome [03:14] pidgin could have been forked and reworked it to taste [03:14] Yup. That's it. Wife will be happy now, as long as it works. [03:14] :) [03:14] i wish i had a wife that uses ubuntu [03:14] Telepathy's not a new project, it's a fairly stable IM library... [03:14] I wish my spouse would [03:15] heh. [03:15] hi, i need a testdisk expert [03:15] i mean the software "testdisk" [03:15] i wish i had a wife [03:15] haha [03:15] in Lucid, w/ gnome desktop, does anyone else have all new windows start below existing windows? [03:15] krabador, i used it today [03:15] Only time she needs Windows is when she needs a Windows game running [03:15] BrianE: I don't think I'm doing any desktop effects. other than making a desktop background picture. [03:15] but if I GOD FORBID touch the desktop computer, she gets angrier than at any other time [03:15] ipatrol: huh? [03:15] Verminator: Is that a support question or are you asking for opinions as a poll? [03:16] Is it a work computer? [03:16] arkaxow: Is the problem only with the Software Centre or does it happen with other applications, too? [03:16] man, we got a rocking down here... 7.1 earthquake... [03:16] sync3times: i would like to have /home encrypted. so i guess i have to create a /home partition and have that encrypted on install right? [03:16] Viking667: we only have two desktop computers, one is for my sons, the other my spouse uses for photography [03:16] BrianE, sorry guess I should have reworded the question, I'm asking for help or if anyone else has had and fixed the problrem === first is now known as ossesso [03:17] ipatrol: ahhh. That explains it... She uses PhotoShop, right? [03:17] Viking667: yes... and Lightroom [03:17] BrianE: I've barely used ubuntu, but so far it has only happened with Software Center and nothing else. [03:17] Yup. I don't know if there's a decent Linux equivalent to both of those. [03:17] i like lightroom , and photoshop too , but as long im not a photograph , i can live without them [03:17] Viking667: GIMP and F-spot [03:18] i dont have windows anymore [03:18] ipatrol: gimp doesn't run some Photoshop plugins, what's f-spot? [03:18] how do I mark an exe trusted so it will launch? [03:18] I've heard _of_ it, but not what it does. [03:18] my spouse is at the line between hobbyist and professional [03:18] f-spot is a picture manager ? [03:19] timewriter, It sure is! [03:19] heh. And I'm at the line between newbie and hobbyist. [03:19] good [03:19] are f-spot and picasa similar [03:19] "Modern PCs are horrible. ACPI is a complete design disaster in every way. But we're kind of stuck with it. If any Intel people are listening to this and you had anything to do with ACPI, shoot yourself now, before you reproduce." [03:19] Haha [03:19] BrianE, stay on topic [03:19] BrianE, yep! But we're off topic :( [03:19] I can use picasa, it's all right, so is the one that goes with flickr [03:19] BrianE, we can talk about this in ubuntu-offtopic [03:20] DSLRs, lenses galore, filters and tools, inordinate number of programs she bought with a NYIOP student discount, and enough lighting to blot out the moon [03:20] f-spot is similar to lightroom i guess [03:20] wow. [03:20] or elements organizer, or bridge [03:20] hey guys [03:20] ipatrol, tell her about Broncolor and Sinar P2 [03:21] not after dropping 300$ on that suite [03:21] i have ubuntu server installed with the sudo apt-get install gdm command (base GDM(.. im trying to tether my windows mobile phone ... it works fine in windows computers but i dont know what i have to do in ubuntu to get it to work.. do i need to install some RNDIS or something.. or what do i have to do.. i have ubuntu 10.04 lucid [03:21] picard1400, what do you want to do ? [03:22] picard1400: sudo apt-get install wine [03:22] to start [03:22] just tether [03:22] i just bought an ubuntu-dell xps 7100 with onboard ati 4200 hd - using the fglrx from ubuntu i guess - the video on this is a POS, like 3 frames a second, and no opengl. hmmm i guess i need to get the latest one from ATI, right?

I tried every combo of on/off and i cant get sound to work [03:23] why cant i export stuff in a bash script (A) and then utilize those vars in a sh script (B) that i call from the bash script (A) [03:23] !ati [03:23] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:23] ATI blows, NVidia sucks, and Intel is the devil spawn of them both...? === Pilif12p is now known as durr [03:23] bart_, i always get the latest drivers from ATI and compiled them [03:23] picard1400: you still need to tell the phone and the computer to do that [03:23] never had a problem with ATI drivers [03:24] you might need to hack the phone to get it to comply [03:24] I'm peeved because the ATI drivers don't work for me - stupid thing doesn't see my Radeon 9550 [03:24] lnewlfe: hum can be caused by speakers being close to monitor or anything else exltric [03:24] lnewlfe: are you running karmic or lucid? [03:24] ipatrol it works fine on windows computers [03:24] my point is there is some driver something in ubuntu i need or some program or something installed [03:24] 9.04, karmic [03:24] just OOC has anyone used empathy to actually RUn FB chat without the FB interface?? [03:24] lnewlfe: that's not karmic... that's jaunty === durr is now known as Pilif12p [03:25] right the [phone comes up with the connect thing [03:25] is it normal that i have a smp kernel on a single core machine? [03:25] Viking667, there are several guides online , about how to install ati drivers on ubuntu [03:25] they never failed me [03:25] i tell it to do it through USB and it just idles and does not connect.. its something with ubuntu [03:25] delinquentme, pidginworks good for facebook chat i use it daily [03:25] i thought it went hardy/karmic/lucid...

Alphabetic sequence after Breezy Badger [03:26] hiexpo, yeah ive used pidgin .. but i was looking for empathy .. the native one on ubuntu :D [03:26] picard1400: because windows computers can do COM calls on each other [03:26] you need Wine to emulate that [03:26] sorry i have 9.10 [03:26] delinquentme, good luck with that one [03:26] karmic koala [03:26] according to package source software [03:26] hah is empathy crappy??

[03:51] More like 1.7.x [03:51] ... though the mainline seems to be 1.6.0.2x [03:51] How do I update? [03:52] Sunderphon: which version of Ubuntu are you on? [03:52] 10.04 [03:52] let me see ... [03:52] sun-java6-jdk === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ [03:53] That's the whole jdk... if you just need the jre, I'd use apt-cache search and look for java6 [03:53] still returns version 1.5.0 === erana_ is now known as erana [03:54] Sunderphon: hm. You at a commandline? (terminal, konsole)? [03:54] Yep [03:54] Viking667, how it goes [03:54] apt-cache search | grep java6 [03:54] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ny0CaQF4 bazhang Please take a look [03:54] darwin, checking [03:54] hiexpo: bit shaken, but not too bad. [03:54] hiexpo, reading [03:55] E: you must give exactly one pattern [03:55] Viking667, shaken ? [03:55] is there an http proxy out there that lets you rewrite headers like useragent, to arbitrary values you specify? [03:57] Viking667: That returned an error, about having to give exactly one pattern. What do I do now? [03:58] hiexpo, hmm the windows workaround seems handy but my linux install broke w7 installation [03:59] any alternative to open office witer? [03:59] I´ll have to reinstall from recovery tool :/ [03:59] Sunderphon: apt-cache search java6 | less [03:59] actually, you can remove the |less [03:59] sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source darwin [04:00] bah [04:00] adamkex, abiword?

How do I view windows file system and alter files while on ubuntu? [04:00] bazhang: sorry i was mistaken [04:00] well, what do you actually want java for? [04:00] ANd do you need a full jdk (i.e. for OpenOffice) or just a jre? [04:00] Sunderphon, you have the partner repo enabled for java? [04:00] Running java applications, I don't need it for developing [04:00] bazhang, already installed and up2date [04:01] darwin, and what does ifconfig show [04:01] bazhang: Not sure [04:01] !partner | Sunderphon [04:01] Sunderphon: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » === Zeike is now known as brandonj [04:02] Sunderphon: if you're needing it for OpenOffice.Org, then you'll likely want a full jdk. (Not sure why, they just suggest them) [04:02] bazhang, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/4AXzDC6M [04:02] but jdk comes with a jre anyhow. [04:03] darwin, it seems to think your wlan0 is eth1 [04:03] darwin, try sudo dhclient eth1 [04:03] I've installed the partner repo, and tried installing the newest java and it returns that there's no updates available. (I updated apt first) === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [04:04] Sunderphon, you want a more recent version than is in the repos? is that the issue? [04:04] bazhang, I did it previously it fails [04:04] Sunderphon, if so, any particular reason? [04:04] No, I need a slightly newer version than 1.5.0 and I'm not sure how to go about that [04:06] I have some applications I run that rely on newer versions of java (I had a newer version installed, but I reinstalled ubuntu recently). Running them on 1.5.0 causes them to hang and die within a few minutes [04:07] where is mysql_install_db.sh ? [04:07] Would there be any reasonable hope I could get my Ricoh SD/MMC memory card reader built into my HP Pavillion DV 2700 laptop working? [04:07] defaukt-jre-headless [04:08] ^default [04:09] * darwin shutsdown and unplugs hosts to test [04:10] anyone know the tethering [04:11] elijah, I am checking now [04:11] coz_: Whoops, I meant DV6700 HP Pavillion :) [04:12] elijah, well I am looking for any driver for the ricoh sd mmc reader [04:13] pure_hate, hola [04:13] coz_: Do you know how I can find that model number of the Ricoh device? Is there a command I can run? [04:13] most of those readers run as media drives [04:13] elijah, maybe lspci | grep Ricoh [04:14] have you tried just popping a card in to see if it automounts? [04:14] dustin_: Yeah, nothing comes up [04:14] Whoops [04:15] The card was jammed [04:15] PARTY TIME! [04:15] did it pop up this time? [04:15] lol [04:15] elijah, so it is working now? [04:15] Funny, it won't work in Windows, but it does in Kubuntu! [04:15] Yeah, sorry for my bother. [04:16] fyi it is probably seen by the OS as a usb hub untill you insert a card [04:16] no bother [04:16] elijah, no problem next time someone asks the same question I will tell him to check if the card is jammed :) [04:16] lol yup [04:16] I got it fixed by doing a manual java install from the site [04:16] Sunderphon, sun java? [04:16] Yes [04:17] 123 [04:17] Sunderphon, it is in the repositories [04:17] if the result works dont kick the method [04:17] darwin the jave version is 1.6.0_21 [04:17] It refused to update past 1.5.0 with the repos [04:18] Sunderphon what version of buntu are you running? [04:18] java has a tarball [04:18] Sunderphon: apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [04:18] sheesh, dude. [04:18] is there a antivirus program for ubuntu ? [04:18] mrvdv: several. But why? [04:18] mrvdv you shoulnt need one [04:18] mrvdv, clamav [04:18] hello everyone [04:18] shouldnt** [04:19] i'm trying to remember a command that loads a menu like that of the network remix on the desktop version of ubuntu [04:19] Viking667: I did that several times and it always told me there was no version higher than 1.5.0 [04:19] i can't remember the package name tho [04:19] hm. Then it's telling you a load of bunkum. [04:20] Didy ou do the usual "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" bit? [04:20] yeah, I did [04:20] weird... [04:20] Sunderphon which release of ubuntu are you running? [04:20] 10.04 [04:20] that is wieerd [04:20] best one [04:21] I havent had a single problem getting java for mine [04:21] what is the best way to run xp under ubuntu? virtualbox? [04:21] Java is an on-off problem for me [04:22] I like virtualbox-ose [04:22] sorry to hear that Sunderphon [04:22] ose? [04:22] Hi, I'm ready to install Ubuntu, I was wondering if you people would reocmmend me to (since it's already one month left to the final release) install Ubuntu 10.10. [04:23] sudo apt-get virtualbox-ose [04:23] On my 775 rig rig I have stability issues with both virtual box and vmplayer but vmplayer is a bit more stable, on my 1156 rig they're both stable but virtualbox seems to be a bit quicker and more responsive [04:23] ok [04:23] bitreader: I'd wait until it's out of beta [04:23] bitreader if you want stable use 10.04 [04:23] and if you like hulu use 32 bit [04:23] Yeh, but then I'll have to update the whole operating system from one version to another, which is a lot more risky? (or not?) === erana_ is now known as erana [04:24] doctorZeus: so, what's your question [04:24] bitreader it is best to stay with the LTS(Long Term Support) releases if you want stable [04:24] hold that though...brb [04:24] thought** [04:25] bitreader those are released every 2 years [04:25] When it's the next one due to launch? And which's the one last launched? [04:26] whats this stuff about 11.04?. [04:26] hiku i was commenting on JoeSomebody's question..should have addressed him [04:26] bitreader the latest LTS is 10,.04 [04:26] That's a good question actually, what are my chances of breaking everything, if I try to update from 10.04 to 10.10? [04:26] sunderphon: not to high [04:26] very slim chance of major breaks [04:27] sunderphon: don't do it since its only beta atm [04:27] my worst breaks were from 8.04 to 8.10 [04:27] I installed via wubi, does that change anything? [04:27] Sunderphon: breaking everything slim to none.. odd quirks that you'll be sorting through until the next LTS -- very good :) [04:27] I killed KDE [04:27] I hope the next release will have more hardware support [04:27] linux_op what hardware do you need supported? [04:28] if i move a .tar.gz file to a fat filesystem will the permissions inside the file be ruined? [04:28] linux_op: What are you finding that is not supported? [04:28] dustin_: from what I see ubuntu lacks wifi support on laptops and netbooks [04:28] since most of them use the function key [04:28] oww and the fans, and sensors [04:28] "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage"? Really? [04:29] linux_op what kind of laptop are you running adn are you using 64 bit or 32 bit [04:29] bitreader: they should encourage 64bit... [04:29] I do not reccomend 64 bit for anyone who likes hulu/fancast [04:29] dustin_: im not using ubuntu atm and I ony experienced it on my last hp netbook with kubuntu live [04:29] bitreader: actually 64bit is ok for desktop usage. It's just that there a few applications that are not available in 64bit === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [04:29] When I get my HP Mini 311 I'll be installing ubuntu on it, but it wont be the netbook remix nor will it be 64 bit :P [04:29] fan, sensors, and te toggle key were missing [04:29] *toggle [04:29] hi [04:30] sunderphon: use netbook remix [04:30] linux_op the 32bit ubuntu with Gnome desktop has great wifi support [04:30] bitreader: Everything works nicely and is very resource friendly, ESPECIALLY compared to Windows7-64bit which is a super hog. [04:31] my acer aspire came with win7 that never booted :D [04:31] linux_op: I tried out netbook remix with a friend, before I first tried out ubuntu on my desktop and it was really off putting [04:31] linux_op: I don't really like the netbook remix. It's too limited [04:31] first boot was with ubuntu 9.10 disk in drive [04:31] usr13, Thanks for the vote of confidence towards that decision. I was already downloading 64 bit but I feel quite more comfortable now. I thought so though... that warning is just a way for developers to be able to launch "I told you so" if things go wrong. [04:31] usr13, It has a terminal. What else do you need? [04:31] sunderphon: well the way I see it the netbook remix gets you to what you want faster [04:31] dustin_ if you never booted that Win7 you can call MS and have it returned [04:32] sunderphon: since a netbook is smaller to operate in [04:32] Sunderphon do you suppose that they will give my the $200 for the OS that came with my $2654 laptop :D [04:33] $265*** [04:33] * Viking667 sighs [04:33] Is it possible to install ubuntu from Windows without actually having to reboot?, I mean, having the installer copying all the files into a selected partition (Not one created inside Windows's) and then restart and boot like a charm? [04:33] they charged you? [04:33] I wana buy this: http://laptops.toshiba.com/laptops/satellite/M500/M505D-S4970 [04:33] bitreader not realy unless you are running it in an emulator [04:33] * Viking667 disconnects [04:33] but I can't find it anywere new [04:33] I mean, without having to reboot, and boot the cd, or whatever media installation you have. [04:33] =(( [04:33] dustin_: As long as you never booted it, you can call microsoft and have the money returned [04:33] !wubi | bitreader [04:33] bitreader: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [04:34] Sunderphon I never knew that [04:34] If you boot into it, you accept the EULA and therefore can't return it [04:34] bitreader: There are only a few apps that do not come in 64bit. i.e. wine and virtualbox [04:34] bitreader, No. You have to edit the root windows partition which you can't edit if you have it mounted. [04:34] but seeing as you only really bought the hardware, you can get the license returned. As long as you never booted into it, and therefore used the serial key. [04:34] thinking of buying a sony vaio vpc-f121gx... does anyone else have this or have a site to recommend to check compatibility? [04:34] you can't edit a partition if its mounted [04:34] bitreader: But you can still get those 32bit applications to run on your 64bit system anyway. [04:35] usr13, Oh virtualbox... :( [04:35] Oh I can get virtualbox 32 bit to run? [04:35] how can i create a script in my context menu of nautilus to move a file into a folder (create new folder) with the same name as the file? [04:35] Then everything's cool :), what's the big problem then. If I can still run 32 bit, there's no way to lose. [04:36] bitreader: You'll need to install package ia32-libs and getlibs,("getlibs automatically solves dependencies for binaries") [04:37] bitreader: See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 [04:37] Ok, brb.

(What is the "xp driver store"?) [04:45] yes that does [04:45] so it says it uses the b43legacy [04:46] so should i undo the ndis driver and load the legacy driver [04:46] You may need to try different ones. [04:46] ok [04:46] bryan886: Different versions. [04:46] the trouble might be on the router to [04:47] is the MAC attached to the wireless card or the OS [04:47] bryan886: The NIC [04:47] have u tried b43-fwcutter [04:47] that's what i thought [04:47] bryan886: It's on the wireless card.

[05:11] usr13: Thank you so much [05:11] NP [05:12] @Bauldrick - What proptped Ubuntu to try to fix something that wasn't broken? [05:12] /quit [05:12] *prompted [05:13] dlarmeir, what was 'fixed' ? [05:13] Moving from init to upstart. [05:13] dlarmeir: Are you talking about inittab? [05:14] Init scripts in general really. [05:14] dlarmeir, init is awesome as a simple startup and shutdown system. upstart is designed to be able to be crafted more intelligently [05:14] dlarmeir: Well, they just thought that it was time to start doing things a different way. It works ok I think. [05:14] such as on specific events(system events like file creation, deletion, etc) on a schedule(such as in 30 seconds), etc. [05:15] I love Ubuntu, don't get me wrong but I think deviating from the standard makes me a bit nervous. [05:16] dlarmeir, there is cause to be nervous. Moving from a tried and true system like inittab can be dangerous. [05:16] dlarmeir: I think what is great about Linux is it's innovative nature. [05:16] But so far I have seen good things with upstart. [05:16] I am running a really old (8.04) ubuntu live cd. I want a newer version of gparted on it. one that hase ext4 on it. how can I accomplish this? [05:17] uentusrex - agreed [05:17] I hear a lot of linux old timers grumble about the removal of inittab, but after they actually dig into what upstart is trying to do, I hear cautious support. [05:17] ezzieyguywuf: getdeb.net or ubuntu backports [05:18] Cautious support along the lines of: " I won't run it on my system yet, but I will definitely watch to see others switch" [05:18] o0ze: and what is a backport? [05:18] ezzieyguywuf: google [05:18] usr13 - Linux is awesome and innovative, but switching to something that deviateds from the standard on a LTS stable distro makes me feel nervous. [05:18] ezzieyguywuf: also mentioned on getdeb.net [05:18] ok thanks [05:18] dlarmeir: I hear ya... [05:19] dlarmeir, personally I don't think they should have switched Lucid to upstart. But now that they have, I have seen nothing wrong with the switch. [05:19] Yeah [05:19] except for the fact that it is different, and if you are not aware of the switch it can be 'dangerous'. [05:19] But it's been quite some time now... and I don't see a lot of problems, or ... haven't heard... [05:20] quentusrex - that is the exact thing that happened to me. I was troubleshooting a downed mysql server on 10.04 and could not figure out why the init script would not work. That was my first experience with it haha. [05:20] I deal with a bunch of different production networks, and I have yet to see any issues with the ones that are now using upstart. [05:20] hey all, what format should i save application icons as? i made it in photoshop as a .png with transperancy turned on, but it still draws a background when i make it an icon :( [05:21] What has it been now... couple years? [05:21] dlarmeir, I found out about the switch during beta testing. Since I was looking to upgrade some production machines to Lucid from Hardy. [05:21] dlarmeir, the best thing is to read up on it: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [05:22] Bookmarked - thanks quentusrex! [05:22] I can't find gparted on getdeb [05:22] welcome dlarmeir [05:23] i have a wired connection with ubuntu 10.4 and i cant get my wireless internet to work...someone told me how to fix it the other day sorry i kkeep bothering you guys....i updated somehting in the command line [05:23] [05:23] [05:23] [05:23] [05:23] [05:23] kyle_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:27] sudo apt-get update or something is what i typed before [05:27] guest0001: What is the interface name? (You should have seen it in the output of iwconfig) [05:27] hallo [05:27] i don't know what you mean sorry [05:27] guest0001: Do you see the network-manager anywhere on the screen? [05:28] no [05:28] guest0001: Open a terminal window and type: iwconfig [05:28] and hit enter [05:28] done [05:29] guest0001: Do you see the interface name there?

No, you cannot install Ubuntu on an ipod touch. [06:47] also, ubuntu does not support multi-touch screens, if I'm not mistaken [06:47] command not found [06:47] IdleOne because you only watch to see how you can approach people in a negative way [06:47] fujiosan: only those who don't follow channel policy [06:47] will there be a ubuntu version for mobiles?

[06:50] f23 I believe that deluge would not open because there was an old process of it in memory that refused to be killed [06:50] lol. [06:50] I have an Intel mac normally i would use wubi to install the ext3/4 filesystem of ubuntu in ntfs5 on win7, but on the intel Mac unlike on the PC this doesnt seem to work, is there another way of installing Ubuntu on the intelMac that avoids having to use grub?

[07:02] yes, all tcp and udp allowed for all services [07:02] squiggy, but you changed that no? with the interfaces= line? [07:03] yes, i dont understand why ebox changes the config back if I restart file sharing services in ebox though [07:03] -+ [07:04] squiggy, ok then look in ebox for a line like : bind to interfaces or bind to address and disable that. teh restart file sharing [07:04] ok [07:06] hey gang!

[07:12] zcat[1]: yeah, also faster boot [07:13] cough [07:13] it should also be possible to archive the current setup, do an encrypted basic install and then unarchive the backup to the encrypted root, minus whatever changes were made to grub and fstab, etc...

[07:23] infid, just port 22, the connection will be tunneled and come from 'localhost' on the end machine [07:24] assuming that your firewall doesn't filter loopback connections, which it probably doesn't, because that would be silly [07:24] infid, yes ignore what i sad : i just read port forwarding ssh port :( [07:25] is there a channel for themes and that stuff? can anyone recommend a good dark backgrounds gnome / lucid theme?

You have checked the ubuntu forums> [07:50] planner has (very) partial support [07:50] Yep ! did.. [07:50] Dr_Willis, the card was a deditcated HIS.. uh.. idk- old. Now it is a new on board one.

[07:51] Night guys, don't let Big Brother catch you Winston! :o [07:51] SubCool: doesnt matter if its onboard or not.. the critical part of info is what Chipset its using. you have ran the 'hardware-drivers' tool and see if it suggests any drivers? === xmu is now known as wowoto [07:51] @Dr_Willis - tell me if you know any application/plugin which can do the needful ? [07:52] Dr_Willis, can you help me out [07:52] Dr_Willis, i think you did before [07:52] Nike: ive never seen or used a file with that extension.. so i have no idea of any apps that support it. [07:52] john38: state the problem in clear concise terms and see what happens. :) [07:52] Nike: just FYI, "do the needful" is a nonsensical phrase in English. === ServerTechPro is now known as ServerTech [07:53] Dr_Willis, what do i type in the creating launcher fields for direct click to a website [07:53] Nike: i *instantly* know English is your second language, and you are from the Indian subcontinent. [07:53] Hey all. Does anyone know of some good video tutorials on subversion? [07:54] mneptok hah. "do the needful" :D [07:55] john38: you are mak9ing a launcher that opens firefox to sa specific web site? [07:55] Dr_Willis, yeah [07:55] Dr_Willis, no-. ill run it now.. [07:55] unless that is something that can only be done via GUI.. [07:55] SeanInSeattle, use Git instead of subversion [07:55] Nike: what is that file supposed to be? vsd? [07:55] etc [07:55] the chipsset now is Ati 890 [07:55] etc [07:55] or AMD 890gx? [07:55] john38: 'firefox http://www.google.com' in a launcher filed dont work? If not you could make a 2 line script that does it.. then have the launcher launch that script [07:56] Dr_Willis, that worked but the firefox icon is gone [07:56] Nike, http://filext.com/file-extension/VSD <- vsd files are Microsoft Visio? [07:57] do you mean the launcher john38? or just the icon? [07:57] CkhiKuzad, icon [07:57] alright, you should be able to find it in /usr/share/pixmaps [07:57] john38: so what? Set the icon to be whatever you want. [07:57] i think that's the directory, not absolutely sure [07:57] how [07:58] john38: right click on the launcher, properties, click the box at the top left where the icon is normally shown.. browse for an icon and select one [07:58] the big 'icon' box is a button you click to change the icon [07:58] * CkhiKuzad would have said that, but Dr_Willis was faster [07:58] where is the firefox icon [07:58] what directory [07:58] and it's possible to find most of the icons in /usr/share/pixmaps [07:58] i think. [07:59] john38: no idea. /usr/share somewhere... [07:59] Why totem youtube plugin doesn't work in lucid? [07:59] * Dr_Willis has a few gb of his own icons he alwyas uses for custome things [07:59] alright, confirmed. it's pixmaps john38. [07:59] /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png [07:59] Is there a Monochrome icon for dropbox on Ambiance theme? [07:59] you should be able to scroll down and eventually find it [08:00] ok thanks for the help [08:00] Himanshu: ive seen the omgubuntu site often mention 'monochrome' icons for alternative applications. [08:01] is Dropbox any better than U1? [08:01] I have to wonder why the move back to monochrome.. [08:01] CkhiKuzad: try them both and decide for yourself. :) [08:01] Ubuntu One - lets me sync my tomboy notes automatically. thats a big + for me [08:01] doing so right now. i can't get ubuntu one working in 10.04-- :D GitS is on! [08:01] Himanshu, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/dropbox-monochrome-elementary.html [08:02] ? [08:02] I have this error when trying to play a youtube video in Totem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/488620/ [08:03] CkhiKuzad: every so often the UbuntuOne servers have issues.. theres the #ubuntuone channel that may be able to help [08:03] One more question [08:03] what if i want to change the icon for another website [08:04] john38: change what icon? You want to make a new launcher with a different icon? [08:04] yeah [08:04] sometux: it seems that youtube might have changed their video junk (sorry, can not think of a better word) so people who were downloading videos would be stopped, and it negatively affected totem [08:04] like amazon [08:04] ebay [08:04] john38: you allready know how to change the launchers icon... so copy it, right click, properties, click on the icon,. pck a new icon [08:05] mozilla saves the icons in history [08:05] where is that? [08:05] Dr_Willis: that was for elementry theme only [08:05] does anyone know if its possible to install custom login windows in ubuntu lucid [08:05] headkase314: let me see, thanks [08:05] make up some icons for each site you like. keep them in your ~/Documents/Icons or somewhere loigical [08:05] Jefferson, it is. [08:05] ok [08:05] Himanshu, you're welcome, hope they suit your taste [08:05] Dr_Willis, I dont have access to hardware-drivers [08:05] Jefferson: you can tweak some settings of GDM2 like the wallpaper and so forth, There are alternative GDM themes also (but not a lot) [08:05] how, I use to use 8.10 and i just had to go into system [08:05] Jefferson, System>Administration>Login Window [08:06] Then drag the tar archive of the GDM theme you downloaded into the "Local" tab [08:06] SubCool: You are the admin of that box. you can run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' ? why dont you have 'access' ? clarify what you mean [08:06] when I open it up then login window then it doesnt bring up the old window that 8.10 use to have [08:06] CkhiKuzad: theres not a lot of themes for GDM2.. and the gdm1 themes wont work. [08:06] Dr_Willis, oh. [08:06] headkase314: thanks, that link worked... [08:07] Jefferson: thats because of the change to 'gdm2' its not as themeable as the old GDM. (at this time) [08:07] all i can do is just change the session from [08:07] anybody know where the history or favorites folder is [08:07] like gnome [08:07] Himanshu, ;) [08:07] Jefferson: you want to change the 'default session' from gnome to kde? or what exactly>? === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [08:07] Dr_Willis, i dont have gui-- only CLI [08:08] john38: your firefox directories are under the .mozilla directory [08:08] just change the login screen to a different picture then the default [08:08] SubCool: Jefferson changing the wallpaper is easy. theres tool sout to do that. or yopu can just edit the proper file thats on the system [08:09] Jefferson: gdm2setup is one such tool [08:09] usr/share/mozilla ? [08:09] Dr_Willis, error on gksudo jockey-gtk 'can not open display' [08:09] how to create a new user?????? [08:09] SubCool: you need to determine your video card chipset if you cant even get into X. and install the proper drivers from the console, and perhapss remove/edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if it exists [08:09] SubCool: so you have no X display at all eh? [08:09] also I tried installing 8.10 software on lucid and i kept getting an internal error which i never got before switching, I want to install ubuntu tweak to customize it a little like setting icons of my computer and home directory on my desktop, but it doesnt bring up ubuntu tweak when I search for it in my add or remove programs, so I was just wondering if i installed my copy for 8.10 if it'll work [08:09] loopidity: sudo adduser billgates [08:10] Hi. I am using ubuntu netbook edition and I want to turn off power saving feature (i assume) that makes the screen lose brightnes after ~2min of not doing anything. [08:10] i have an 890 chipset.. Dr_Willis [08:10] Alright I'll try installing gdm2setup [08:10] Dr_Willis, ya- said that. [08:10] billgates?? [08:10] sorry [08:10] * CkhiKuzad can honestly say that IHO, U1 is much better than dropbox. [08:10] SubCool: 890 what? Intel, ati? nvidia? [08:11] i can just remove xorg.conf- if that is the file i need to. [08:11] ..... ati- [08:11] SubCool: if you chanbged video cards.. try renameing xorg.conf and restart x (if it exists) [08:11] k- [08:11] SubCool: most systems dont have a xorg.conf these days [08:11] lol- awesome [08:11] loopidity, replace billgates with the user name you want [08:13] ok [08:13] and how to delete a user?? [08:13] <_Ray_> Hey. I'm interested in downloading gdb-7.2, but the default ubuntu repos only have until gdb-7.1-ubuntu. What would be the recommended path to install gdb-7.2 on my system? [08:13] Dr_Willis, there is like nothing in the xorg.conf- what do systems use now? ubuntu has gone through like 3 that i have known of so far. [08:13] loopidity: 'deluser' [08:14] ok [08:14] just curious when I installed software from 8.10 on the version of ubuntu 10.4, then it gave me an internal error code which pretty made so i could install anymore software, i looked it up and it said something like interdependency error, does certain packages only work on certain versions [08:14] SubCool: i dont use ati at all. theres the ati wiki pagtes that may suggest what to install. [08:14] !ati [08:14] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:14] I assumed that since 10.4 was newer then it'd work but it didnt [08:14] whats deluser? delete a user? [08:14] yes itsux2bu [08:14] itsux2bu, yes [08:14] Jefferson: you installed 8.10 packages on a 10.04 machine? [08:15] I want to install ubuntu tweak but only have the package for 8.10 would it work for 10.4 [08:15] !version | Jefferson [08:15] Jefferson: why not get the newer version? [08:15] Jefferson: 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 » [08:15] yes [08:15] Jefferson, you would need the one for 10.04, then it would work [08:15] hi [08:15] ffmpeg how to select an audio-stream from two? [08:15] headkase314: yeah... just loaded them. and looks great...... :D [08:15] !hi | bashi [08:15] bashi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

[08:16] Dr_Willis, CkhiKuzad actually gdm2 themes are just standard GTK themes [08:17] Alright I'll check that site out, cause ya i've tried looking for it in my software center and couldn't find it === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [08:17] Dr_Willis, CkhiKuzad so if you wanted to for example redesign the actual login form you start with the glade gui designer and find the glade file that gdm2 uses to render the login form [08:17] ffmpeg how to select an audio-stream from two? [08:17] airtonix: i mean the different layout/fancy theme features that peopl;e are used to for GDM1. Ive changed my gdm2 screen to use different gtk 'theme' parts. but people expect the gdm1 customizeability [08:17] Jefferson, thats the official site and I have it installed no problems in 10.04 [08:18] Dr_Willis, its much more customisable this way. you can even in theory use python scripts [08:18] airtonix: seen a guide on that anywhere? docs on gdm2 were lacking last i checked (this was a few mo back) [08:18] Im actually amazed ive not seen more gdm2 'leet theme anouncements' on OMGubuntu or other sites :) [08:19] my brother and i have been trying to SSH from his OSX macbook to my Ubuntu Server with little luck.. if you can help please private me! [08:19] Dr_Willis, i deleted xorg.conf- and then startx --- now im in gnome. lol [08:19] umm. aren't we up to gdm3 now? [08:19] Dr_Willis, if you understand the priniciples of making a stylesheet for css based on elements that have an ID then making a "stylesheet' for a GTK gui is based on the elements widget name (which you can define in glade when makign a glade form) [08:19] airtonix: that leaves me out then. :) === jofo_ is now known as jofo [08:19] !PM | itsux2bu [08:19] itsux2bu: 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.

[09:00] chalcedony, thanks, hopefully either of them will get involved. And by the way, the first time that I tried 10.04 via upgrade it did not work at all. I then installed 10.04 clean after trying 9.04 again and noticing that after the ubuntu recommended update, I had the UI problems of 10.04 in 9.04 [09:01] Linuxsapien: That's for bash. fg bring the job up. [09:01] red2kic, what exactly was "that message a few likes above" [09:01] righto :) [09:01] Linuxsapien, ForeGround and BackGround = fg and bg to send processes to the background and to the foreground again [09:01] oh, nevermind red2kic [09:01] CkhiKuzad: "xset dpms force off" should help your eyes.

Like getting a kernel update? [09:03] aswin, do you reboot between tries, or is this long term running. In the long term running case you may have a memory leak in the driver. [09:03] WinstonSmith: i did update and upgrade... and apt-get autoremove && apt-get install -f transmission gives me the same error [09:04] Hello.

[09:34] does anyone know how to access a USB from TTY? [09:34] Dr_Willis, Thank You [09:34] itsux2bu, i mean the LAN ip not your WAN ip [09:34] Dr_Willis, Just was making sure [09:35] Cairo_: access what 'usb' device exactly? [09:35] Should i maybe load ubuntu thru VM and see how it runs? [09:35] sry.. to be dumb.. inside or outside router.. that how i think of it.. my ISP assigned IP? [09:35] ill try that n come back n let ya know how it goes! [09:35] bye :) [09:35] a usb flash memory stick [09:36] itsux2bu: wan -> router -> lan the router has an ip for both sides. [09:36] Cairo_: mount it, cd to the mount point, access it as you would any other directory [09:36] !mount | Cairo_ [09:36] Cairo_: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [09:36] wan IP is from ISP? [09:37] thanks [09:37] itsux2bu: yes [09:38] and thats what you want? [09:38] wan - Wide Area network - The Internetz [09:38] not happy with 33% (too small) or 50% (too big) in nautilus list view. can i change the font size to be between these? [09:38] you would ssh/connect to that ip. and the router forwards the connection to the internal LAN pc that you need. [09:38] 98.231.151.23 [09:39] thats from whatsmyip.org [09:39] so thats your 'networks' external IP. [09:40] if you run ifconfig on a pc inside the lan.. it should differ [09:40] 98.231.151.23 <<-- [09:40] itsux2bu, sry thats not what i meant : when you connect through putty which ip do you? [09:40] use [09:40] unless the pc is connected directly to the ISP [09:40] then there wouldent be a router, :) [09:41] 192.168.0.194 <<-- this is what my router gave my ubuntu server.. [09:41] itsux2bu: thats your lan's ip range then. every pc on teh lan should be in the 192.168.0.XXX range [09:42] THe router is proberly 192.168.0.1 [09:42] so now i've given everything a hacker needs to access my computer a format all my dad [09:42] *data [09:42] itsux2bu, so when you connect with putty you use 192.168.0.194 yes? [09:42] itsux2bu, we can see your ip anyway without you posting it...it's kinda how IRC works :) [09:43] itsux2bu: if you are on the local lan. you can ssh 192.168.0.194 , if you were OUTSIDE the lan, (on the internetz) you ssh to the other ip. and the router has to port forward the connection To 192.168.0.194 [09:43] slidinghorn, but you see the ip thats inside the router.. [09:43] Dr_Willis, but the outside box finds the ssh server but then gives an error [09:44] itsux2bu, nope...the one you posted...we can also see that you're somewhere near (or in) Maryland and have comcast cable [09:44] ;-) [09:44] so i assume port forwarding is ok [09:44] * Dr_Willis puts on his tinfoil hat [09:45] * WinstonSmith lolz [09:45] Dr_Willis, we. know. all. [09:45] lol [09:45] port 22 on 192.168.0.194 is port forwarded [09:45] I dont even klnwo what the original problem is/was. :) [09:45] itsux2bu, did you change any configs regarding ssh? [09:45] not happy with 33% (too small) or 50% (too big) in nautilus list view. can i change the font size to be between these? [09:45] ubuntu is bloated shiny insecure crap that resembles windows more and more everyday [09:45] yay ! [09:45] no.. [09:45] yes.. [09:45] ssh mods [09:45] OBSD^: Awesome. Do you have an Ubuntu support question? [09:45] * WinstonSmith tells OBSD^ to breath deeply [09:45] OBSD^: demand a refund in #ubuntu-offtopic then [09:46] OpenBSD blackhole.hvc.rr.com 4.7 puffy-kernel#0 i386 [09:46] * slidinghorn lols @ Dr_Willis [09:46] linux is for dumb bitches [09:46] itsux2bu, ssh mods? [09:46] i didn't change anything to do with ssh anywhere [09:47] ok [09:47] itsux2bu: so can linux machines ssh in? and this os-x box cant? was that the issue? [09:47] openssh server is at its default settings [09:47] slow down.. i'm an old man.. [09:48] * Dr_Willis t y p e s s l o o w e r.... [09:50] i need an html what you see it what you get editor, what would be the top three choices for proffesional use ? [09:50] i been using putty with 192.168.0.194, which is the router asssigned ip for my ubuntu server with ssh.. i realize now i was using my internal ip address.. [09:50] can you pastbein your /etc/ssh/sshd_config [09:50] you need an html? [09:50] it for some reason doesn't error out with the RSA message [09:51] what the f is that supposed to mean? [09:51] itsux2bu: yes. Networking 101 :) Internal lan pc's use that ip. external access to the other ip. [09:51] yellabs, not sure of any actual WYSIWYG editors -- bluefish is probably the most commonly used editor though [09:51] Dr_Willis, itsux2bu problem looks like this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337755 [09:51] i see [09:52] !html [09:52] html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages.

[10:03] hold on.. [10:03] not the buttons in the top right, but almost top right? one is a page and one is a wrench right?

[10:09] i'm used to computers that do the same thing each time you use it.. [10:09] everything looks weird to me [10:09] slidinghorn, ok thanks [10:10] mac and putty both go in with external ip address [10:10] Dr_Willis: what kind of changes? is there a change log somewhere? [10:10] with 2nd try [10:10] wikor: an option might be available to change it to have the page out front like before [10:10] ShapeShifter499: in the netbook interface.. radical changes. google for 'unity' screenshot/videos [10:11] i honestly dont have chrome 6 to test and tell you though...and now dont want to upgrade because i dont want your problems lol [10:11] ShapeShifter499, understand that there's no real requirement to upgrade to 10.10 -- it's not an LTS release...10.04 will be supported for a long time [10:11] itsux2bu, good for you ! well i am going to eat something.. have a nice day [10:11] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/new-ubuntu-unity-launcher-video-and.html [10:11] * WinstonSmith goes hunting for some food [10:12] SORRY i wasted your time by not trying a 2nd time [10:12] itsux2bu: heh.. so you always just tried once.. then gave up? :) [10:12] oh ya btw when I start to run alot of apps together on my netbook my system freezes/crashes even though the applications don't take up all the ram and I have to hard reboot it anyone know why ? [10:12] WinstonSmith: i keep reading your name and thinking smith and wesson [10:12] itsux2bu: you learned some networking fundamentals in the process at least. [10:13] not happy with 33% (too small) or 50% (too big) in nautilus list view. can i change the font size to be between these? [10:13] itsux2bu, all ok no harm done! [10:13] ShapeShifter499: could be u dont have enough swap [10:14] digim0nk, I thought that too but I checked and my usb install(installed to computer mem from usb) partitioned in 3 gigs of swap [10:15] Dr_Willis. no.. never i try things multiple times.. but i'm also used to getting same results each time.. i guess i got jaded by every program giving an error message.. and the fact i had it working between windows host os and ubuntu guest os from first try.. also threw my off.. [10:16] ShapeShifter499: strange .. 3gigs shoud be more than enough .. updated your kernel .. try booting off the earlier one [10:17] digim0nk, but when I have system monitor up it shows that right before crashing I'm only using about 300mb of a gig of ram [10:17] it did this on the newest version and the one the system came installed with [10:18] ShapeShifter499: are using multiple firefox windows [10:18] its scares me when it does that [10:18] no [10:19] Hello. I seem to have forgotten which key combination allows me to move my window freely without being restricted by the top bar. I'm on a netbook and can't access the bottom buttons of my window. It's Alt + something + left mousebutton, right? Thanks :) [10:19] and if it crashes while playing music it will repeat the last few seconds like a vinyl does when it skips [10:19] ShapeShifter499: ubuntu version ? [10:19] 10.04 [10:20] newest stable version of ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 [10:20] itsux2bu: im still not sure why it failed the first time. Could very well be somthing odd in how OS-X's ssh works [10:21] Does anybody know how to remove fonts from the font menu? I removed them from /usr/share/fonts but they are still there [10:21] no--name: did you restart the X server? [10:22] Dr_Willis: how do I do that, again? [10:22] apparently ssh keeps track of computers that don't have rsa keys and puts them in a OK list [10:22] no--name: one way.. reboot.. other way logout and at console do 'sudo service gdm restart' [10:22] ok thanks [10:22] itsux2bu: theres proberly a way to generate an rsa key on OS-X also [10:23] putty and osx showed same results [10:23] digim0nk, no I don't use one [10:23] itsux2bu: theres proberly a way to generate an rsa key on putty :) [10:23] itsux2bu: for ubuntu i use 'ssh-keygen' command [10:23] digim0nk, and it freezes sometimes while I'm actively using it [10:23] yea.. lesson for another day [10:24] i cant un zip anything in ubuntu 10.04 keeps coming up with error 1 [10:24] itsux2bu: not muych to it.. run ssh-keygen, hit enter a few times.. then i can 'ssh-copy-id' to a ssh server and enter password once.. after that i can login with no password. :) very handy [10:24] britta_, ALT + leftmouse [10:24] hello [10:24] facelessloser: plain zip files?

[10:27] ShapeShifter499: maybe this will help to keep u sane till u find the issue .. backintime.le-web .o r g [10:28] itsux2bu: on your clients., each one generates a key that you upload to the server via the ssh-copy-id command [10:29] Dr_Willis, ok.. after i gen key.. i run ssh-copy-id on client? it copies to server?

[10:33] itsux2bu: yes [10:33] ok.. [10:33] where can i get the usb-disk creator? [10:33] Adonis: its in the system menus. [10:33] i wonder if OSX uses same commands [10:33] lol ok im new to this "D [10:33] itsux2bu: Ive no idea what ssh implemtation OS-X uses [10:34] i ve tryed unziping from the command line but it still wont work here is the outcome http://paste.ubuntu.com/488670/ [10:34] startup disk creator?

[10:34] i will try another some now [10:35] hows that work? [10:35] hello [10:35] itsux2bu: 2 users can 'share' a shell via screen if you want to watch/show the user how to do things [10:35] !screen | itsux2bu [10:35] itsux2bu: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [10:35] cool.. [10:35] I am running ubuntu 10.04 and I cannot blacklist nouveau kernel module, even if it's blacklisted on modprobe.conf...any ideas??? [10:35] Dr_Willis that is something i was looking for the other day! [10:36] * jemark is away: Away [10:36] how do i set permission from MAIN USER to use the harddisk? [10:36] * jemark is back (gone 00:00:27) [10:36] ShredMaster: clarify what you are doing. [10:36] 这里都习惯用英文吗？ [10:37] !away > jemark [10:37] jemark, please see my private message [10:37] is there a way to view existing files from my HDD when running uvuntu thru VM so i can created bootable usb? [10:37] so just the ubuntu side has to support screen.. its not something the client side needs to support? [10:38] Willis: I made new user. I can't access the hard-drive because it askes Password of the MAIN USER. [10:38] Adonis: You want to use virtualbox to access the 'real hard drive' - thats doable. but not reccomended. [10:38] ShredMaster: what hard drive? [10:38] Willis: I mean c: , d: drives [10:38] will gnome 3.0 support compiz? [10:38] ShredMaster: if you mean a extenal usb ntfs or similer drive. You can try running the ntfs-config command (as root) and check the boxs to allow all users access [10:38] its in c:\ when in windows! i just want to locate the ubuntu.iso so i can run the bootable usb prog thru ubuntu [10:39] sudipta_: not likely [10:39] ok i will try [10:39] Adonis: so you are running virtualbox on windows.. running UBUNTU, and you want the Guest Ubuntu In VBOX to access teh ISO file on C: to generate a bootable USB flash drive with persistant save. [10:40] exactly :D [10:40] then how it will support various effects? [10:40] is that possible? [10:40] Adonis: the pendrivelinux websit has tools and scripts and instructions on making a bootable usb flash drive - within windows. No virtualbox needed [10:40] Adonis: its possible.. but a bit comples. when pendrivelinux web site has tools to do it directly [10:41] excellent thanks :D [10:41] sudipta_: gnome 3 uses mutter which is metacity+clutter, their version of their effects. Compiz is completely separate (and can run without and DE as a matter of fact) [10:41] Adonis: theres dozens of tools out under windows to generate bootable flash drives [10:42] Adonis: 'unetbootin' 'lili' and proberly a dozen more ive never heard of. :) [10:42] ok [10:42] i downloaded one about a week ago! created bootable usb with this exact iso and it ran mega slow for somereason??? but through vmware its running fine [10:43] Adonis: if you have a large enough flash drive you could do a 'normal' install to the flash drive. a Live-setup is slower then a normal install [10:43] so im gonna try remake a new bootable usb stick.. hopefully this time it wont run like a dog [10:43] its 8gb [10:43] Adonis, this also has some information about creating usb boot things, there's a section about creating it from windows. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick === ofan is now known as OFAN [10:44] how to run itunes under ubuntu?

[11:13] !upgrade | jb__ [11:13] !upgrade [11:13] jb__: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [11:13] I wonder how many disrtos one can fit on a 16gb flash drive. :) [11:14] Dr_Willis, i have two drives, the primary seems to have stopped, it booted into the secondary drive. primary didn't show on fsck, what do i need to do? [11:14] i have xubuntu 9.10 there, and I would like to upgrade to latest stable *kernel* (apparently 2.6.35-4) but in synaptics it says latest its 2.6.31 something ?? [11:14] chalcedony: check sudo fdisk -l output, check if the bios sees it.. if neither do. check the cables.. [11:14] chalcedony: and hope you made backups [11:14] thx erUSUL i'm looking [11:14] Hello there! I get this message. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: [11:14] LANGUAGE = (unset), [11:15] .. how do I set language in cli? [11:15] jb__: last ubuntu version 10.04 uses 2.6.32 [11:15] Dr_Willis, new drive, not much on it.. i was hoping to get to installing a few things tonight.. [11:15] I have 10.04 installed on my laptop. I have a server with openssh. When I want to upgrade to 10.10 I like to do a complete install. How can I get my key onto the new install so that my ssh connection doesn't go down? [11:16] chalcedony: ive had new drives fail very quickly.. check sudo fdisk -l, see if its seen. [11:16] erUSUL, okay, is there a way to install a more recent kernel using the package managers? or I must do it manually? [11:16] chalcedony: also make sure fdisk -l, is reporting what the drive actually is. (size wize) [11:16] jb__: i think there is ppa with mainline ( vanilla ) kernels. [11:16] !ppa | jb__ [11:16] jb__: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [11:16] jb__: or you can compile it yourself [11:17] Hello, I have an external harddrive connected thru USB and it's corrupted, it has no important data at all on it, so I don't mind trashing it up, it's on /dev/sdd and I would like to make it work again fine [11:17] Friar: its proberly best to upgrade while you are sitting at the machine. the upgrade shouldent affect the users home dir or settings. but the ssh service may get reset.restarted as part of the upgrade [11:17] mysteryguy: repartition/reformat it. You may want to 'zero' it via dd befor hand . if you want to go hardcore on it. [11:18] how do i create a user account in ubuntu server? [11:18] mysteryguy: create a new partition table and partitions on it ? [11:18] itsux2bu: sudo adduser pickausername [11:18] I formatted it and did that a few mins ago [11:18] Dr_Willis, the server is running a different install. I am going to upgrade my laptop. I also want to do a fresh install when 10.10 gets released. [11:18] and password? [11:18] mysteryguy: and its currupted again a few min later> [11:18] no, it never got uncorrupted [11:18] itsux2bu: sudo passwd username [11:18] can I expect problems if I use a vanilla kernel with my current ubuntu install? anything I should take care about? [11:18] Dr_Willis, my son's mailserver does not like my access level in this drive it says it will report me! ;) i shall look at the cables... anything else to try while i'm in there with it working? [11:18] thx.. [11:19] Friar: your keys should be in your home folder ~/.ssh/ ? make a backup of your home [11:19] chalcedony: clean out the dust bunnies. [11:19] I tried fscking it, and "The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 [11:19] filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 [11:19] filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock [11:19] is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: [11:19] e2fsck -b 8193 [11:19] " [11:19] mysteryguy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:19] mysteryguy: it is a ext2/3/4 filesystem? [11:19] jb__: some drivers that ubuntu adds may not be present in vanilla kernel [11:19] yes [11:19] I formatted it to ext2 === roman is now known as Guest46312 [11:19] erUSUL, that is indeed where my keys are located. so If I just make a copy of ~/.ssh and replace the default one it should be ok? [11:19] Friar: should be [11:20] mysteryguy: so in the last 10 min or so.. you reformated, then fscked an empty drive and gotr an error mesage? [11:20] yes [11:20] Dr_Willis, he could have a 50mb hdd :) [11:20] It's 160Gb btw :3 [11:20] sounds like it may be ready for the trash also [11:20] empty though. [11:20] erUSUL, thanks. I think I'll make the server accept passwords before I upgrade as well just to be on the safe side...I don't have physical access to my server at the moment. I'm in europe for 6 months for work, and the server is at my parents house back in the states. [11:21] i am sure there was a quick way to copy over the partition table layout from one disk to another [11:21] mysteryguy: check dmesg command for any error messages. could be the drive is failing [11:21] Ubuntu+1 is dead >.< [11:21] "[130730.843506] sdd: unknown partition table" [11:21] incorrect, layout or data? [11:21] WindowFixer202, layout [11:21] I used Gparted to give it a msdos partition table [11:21] Friar: ok;: good luck [11:22] mysteryguy: you did reboot after repartioning ? [11:22] !weekend | Katsuki [11:22] Katsuki: It's a weekend. Often on weekends the paid developers and a lot of the community may not be around to answer your question. Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would or try again during the working week. [11:22] thanks again. I appreciate it. [11:22] no [11:22] Hi I ran sudo update-grub and it came up saying all of the updates and stuffs. And then said it worked. But when I restart still no Grub loader? Goes straight into ubuntu. [11:22] Should I reboot Ubuntu? [11:22] mysteryguy: you may want to.. some times thye kernel can use the old layout/tables and that causes issues [11:22] ok [11:22] will try fsck again and if problem continues will come back (after reboot of course) [11:22] mysteryguy: if it is a usb drive just eject it and plug it again [11:23] oh kk :) [11:23] no apparent error messages now [11:23] will try fsck === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [11:23] doesnt work [11:24] hi, i have a trojan/virus on windows and i can't even boot on it because i get a BSOD every time i try; can i fix it from my kubuntu dual boot? [11:24] otswim: install/try clamav and its gui front ends.. [11:24] when I try to fsck I get [11:24] e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdd [11:24] otswim: i would definatly be backing up stuff from that windows install somewhere safe... [11:25] (same for fsck, tried what it said in that long message I posted before) [11:25] mysteryguy: this is a exteranal usb hard drive correct? [11:25] Dr_Willis: just the clamav package? [11:25] chilli0: sounds like you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst - setting the timeout to something higher than 0-1 [11:25] yes, it is [11:25] no data at all, so you can do anything with it [11:26] Get_A_Fix, Would you be able to tell me where that line is? [11:26] Dr_Willis: i've installed the clamav package, how can i use it to scan windows now? [11:26] :) [11:27] open a terminal - type; sudo nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:27] ubuntu didn't detect windows, how do I run the grub detection script? [11:27] mysteryguy: you could go hardcore and 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=2048' (DONT MAKE A TYPO) and zerio the drive to total zero-ness :) then reparttion, and reformat [11:27] then at the top is the default and then timeout [11:27] howto create a mysql root account ? [11:27] malv, sudo update-grub [11:27] otswim: install one of the front ends for it.. and run the front end [11:27] I tried that too Dr_Willis :) [11:27] Get_A_Fix, I don't have that file. I have grub2 [11:27] dli: ok, it worked. thanks [11:27] didn't use the bs=2048 part though, is it important? [11:27] how do I set OS locale in cli? [11:28] mysteryguy: time to open it up.. take out the platters and hang them from the ceiling for disco light effects.. and put the magnets on the fridge to hold the pizza cupons. [11:28] Get_A_Fix, I may have found it, brb restarting. [11:28] mysteryguy: bs= makes it go faster [11:28] I will try again anyway [11:28] else I will do some disk-hulk-smash :) [11:28] mysteryguy: thers some other HD tools out ther eint he repos you can try. but I wouldent trust the HD. [11:29] hi ppl :) i have a udev-rule to execute a script when i plug in my backup usb hdd but it doesnt work : ACTION=="add"; SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1d00", SYSFS{idVendor}=="13fe", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/mount.tera", SYMLINK+="terabyte_toshiba". any ideas? thx [11:29] Those Magnets in hard drives are amazingly strong. [11:29] Dr_Willis: should i scan my whole windows partition, or just C:\Windows\System32? [11:29] Dr_Willis, neodymium i think [11:29] otswim: why do things part way... [11:29] otswim: scan EVERYTHING [11:30] :D because it's taking hours just to calculate scan time :) [11:30] howto create a mysql root account ? [11:30] otswim: You got other things to do? :) [11:30] DR:Dr_Willis can i install ubuntu x86 if i'm running kubuntu amd64 ..i mean net install [11:30] !installation [11:30] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[11:31] please ping me when replying it's very active here I can't read this all [11:31] Dr_Willis: no actually it is bootable, but on boot, if i don't end the processus very quickly, the virus takes control, creates a lot of processes, and causes a BSOD [11:31] gryllida: export locale='somthing' [11:32] Boot in safe mode, most viruses dont get executed in safe mode, you can run your virus scan from there, or manually remove files [11:32] or is it LOCALE.. [11:32] Dr_Willis: i must install ubuntu x86 in my laptop with the net but on my pc i have kubuntu amd64 can i install x86 using net install how can i specifiy the version i want to go in my laptop [11:32] i have a really stupid question - for what stands "console-kit-daemon" [11:32] its a shame that the software raid doesn't have a tool to help you rebuild your array [11:32] i have ~60 running processes [11:32] named console-kit-daemon [11:32] rek: ive never done net installs.. so no idea if you can host a 32bit install from a 64bit machine. proberly can. === AlHafoudh_ is now known as AlHafoudh [11:33] looks like they ar just incorrectly showed up [11:33] hello. Reading http://www.ubuntugeek.com/kernel-2-6-35-officially-available-for-ubuntu-10-04.html it says "This kernel is now available in the git repository of Ubuntu 10.04" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". If its a dist-upgrade, isn't that 10.10 beta? I don't understand how it can remain 10.04 but with 2.6.35.4 kernel. Can anyone help me understand this please? Thanks. === mo_bledhoz is now known as mo_bledhoz|buber [11:34] nordle: a dist-upgrade does not always upgrade to the next release. [11:34] I often have to do a dist-upgrade to make it upgrade some held back packages [11:35] always seems to be trivial things held back also.. [11:35] OR very imporntant things - like thje kernel. [11:35] Dr_Willis, you were telling me about ssh-keygen.. i'm running it now.. you said you didn't need passwords by using a key, right? [11:36] Dr_Willis: wow, ok, mmm. I need to re-learn some stuff by the looks of it :) Thanks for the information! [11:36] ok will upgrading ubuntu version upgrade the kernel too? [11:36] itsux2bu: i do not need to use a password to ssh to my other linux box's after setting up sshkeygen and ssh-copy-id.. [11:36] jb__: yes - it should [11:37] Dr_Willis, can I upgrade while I have applications running? [11:37] Hi I'm runing ubuntu 10 4 1 and trying to install tom tom sat nav software, I can't get to the installerdata by terminal, I become a root, then command and answer I'd really stuck exactly on the start, help [11:37] nordle: i never have figured out the logic to what gets held back [11:37] jb__: I did earlier today. :) [11:37] jb__: prioberly not the best idea.. but im brave and stupid. [11:37] ah.. you went from 9.10 to 10.4? [11:37] ssh-keygen asking for a passphrase.. is this a one time thing.. or will my brother have to enter it everytime he connects via ssh? [11:37] random web server question: I have two websites with their own domains sitting on the same box. How do I go to dir_a/ if I input a.com, and dir_b/ if I input b.com? I've got the A record set in my domain registrar to my server's IP, but I can't figure how to separate the sites without using a redirect :) [11:38] majeszko: spaces in path names are your issue.. use the TAB key to complete the names.. of just copy the files over to your HOME so you dont have as big a path to use.. and install from HOME [11:38] majeszko: cd '/path/dir with spaces/stuff' [11:39] majeszko: cd /media/INTERNAL/Tom may also work [11:39] BattlePope, hm.. maybe a http server option for thaT?

[11:40] hmmm... yeah I reckon that might be the way to do it, but it seems like it must be a common thing, there must be a tool or easy script to do it [11:40] JoshuaL: thx, will try it now === tjs is now known as Guest10199 [11:41] Petition to pressure Kevin Rose to eat uncured pork bacon live on streaming video and drink COLD BEER with it.

[11:41] I think I have done something bad to my server. I tried to update libc6 to version 2.11 by using a deb package but then it started to complain on dependencies and now I get this message when installing stuff: http://pastebin.com/3yn1qDAt If I try the -f thingy, it tries to remove like 10000 packages, telling me that I should abort it if I really don't know what I am doing. It would free 1.5 GB of space. [11:42] BattlePope, yea it must be common, it's common to redirect subdomains like bleh.waza.com to ~bleh/public_html [11:42] so it shouldnt be too hard to redirect different domains also [11:43] yeah [11:43] that's what I thought, but all my googling has not returned an answer :) [11:43] you're using apache? [11:43] yes. [11:44] hehe.. I've always been too lazy to go through the whole config file [11:44] its probably there somewhere though [11:45] any idea what my symbolic links in mpds music folder arent working?

IS this a windows binary/program you are trying to run on linux? or has tomtom made native linux binaries? [12:11] schoolschool: the fact that it does not recognize the hardware might be something to worry about [12:12] ola [12:12] It worked in windows, so it must be for windows [12:12] schoolschool: your hdd is/are scsi?

Is there a file where I canedit the input from my keyboard? Or somewhere I can d-load defaults? [12:15] Since nobody in irc://irc.freenode.net/#mongodb reacts, I give it a try in here. Does anybody know, when trying to install mongodb on ubuntu 10.04 it wants to install all kinds of x11 libraries. Since i run a CLI-only server this sounds unnecessary to me. Is there a way to do a 'minimal' install without these X-libs? [12:16] lousygarua, well if thats the tool [12:16] I see. I'll try a bootable cd and see if that's working and then check for the hardware [12:16] Aijse: what keys are not bindable? [12:16] schoolschool: good idea [12:16] Like a zoom in and zoom out key for example [12:17] Aijse: Your keyboard has an actual zoom in/out keys? thats odd.. wonder what they were designed for. :) [12:17] oCean_ thank you very much . have a good day. [12:17] Aijse: some keyboards special keys can take some work to get working properly. [12:17] Dr_Willis, I also use Lirc and it took some time to figure all commands for the keys out but it was possible [12:18] Aijse: if you hit the keys a few tmes then check 'dmesg' output it may give some info on the key [12:18] Dr_Willis, Isnt there some config file for the keyboard? [12:18] Aijse: yep. same setup/tricks may be needed fot the keyboard. ive never noticed a single config for thekeyboard. [12:18] i think you can setup some stuff with xmodmap [12:18] Aijse: i spent part of a day getting the media/special keys going on an IBM keyboard. (old) it was a pain. :) [12:19] wezz: seems like mongodb depends on xulrunner, as if mongodb had a XUL based UI.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [12:20] Dr_Willis, western digital 500 gb and it DID work and it's set to master. [12:20] could be the ide slot/controller is going bad on that one pc. [12:20] it's nearly new [12:20] merci [12:20] Dr_Willis: haha [12:20] off [12:20] Dr_Willis, Yes most of my media keys work out of the box wich made me a bit spoiled I guess. Now I want all keys to work [12:20] hard drives can die at ANY time. :) new old, now, 20 sec from now. [12:21] evil! [12:21] Real fun when they die while you are using them..... [12:21] 20 sec from now!? all back up fast [12:21] oh i know .. glares at 5 years of work sitting on top of the monitor. [12:21] I heard it's best to let them spin all the time [12:21] rather than spin down/up often [12:22] jb42, i turned it on, made sure it stayed as cool as i could.. and it did that kernel panic thing and now it won't see it [12:22] jb42: ive heard opposite.. but it depends on the disk ussage. [12:22] jb42: i got some tha tsmart says have 2+ yrs of spinning time. :) others get used once a day for 10 min.. then spindown for 23 hrs..... [12:23] I just made an update to my /etc/hosts file. Do I need to restart anything to make it take effect? I tried to do ssh user@server and I get a cannot resolve hostame server.

Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.

Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [12:24] itsux2bu: ive seen many books on ssh.. :) [12:24] hi, I had an odd problem that was solved with a reboot. whenever I typed anything/anywhere it would act as if I had some other key pressed (like control or something) and I couldn't really do anything [12:24] and when I did ctrl+alt+f1 to switch workspaces, anything i typed would show up with a ^ or a [ [12:24] this is a 'definitive guide' [12:25] Dr_Willis, I'm not quite sure what that means...I looked at hostname and all it has in it is lappy, the name of my computer. [12:25] so if I typed a dot it would show up as [. [12:25] how i can make windows file types as defaults to whole system? [12:25] any idea what could've happened? [12:25] dt_: did you try running « reset »? [12:25] Friar: you edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and a be sure they are correct.. then use the hostname command [12:25] jrib, no [12:26] Dr_Willis, I added the line neezer96.poweredbyclear.com server to my /etc/hosts...do I need to add the same thing to /etc/hostname? [12:26] Friar: i recall the ubuntu-tweak tool has a tool to change the hostname also [12:26] Friar my /etc/hosts just has the sort name of my pc. not the full name like you got. [12:27] Dr_Willis, I'm not sure we're on the same page. I just want to type ssh root@server in command line instead of ssh root@neezer96.poweredbyclear.com [12:27] jrib, would that've fixed it? [12:27] dt_: maybe [12:27] Friar: if you are just wanting to save typing.. make an alias. [12:27] Dr_Willis, sounds great...thanks [12:28] Friar: Friar less dangerous also [12:28] Friar: you could edit your /etc/hosts also to make 'server' point to the ip# of the long.named.server [12:29] Dr_Willis, that is what I was trying to do, but it wasn't working I don't think. [12:30] Hello, does anybody know how to resolve a atheros wireless driver prob w/ ubuntu?

[12:37] hi , i wanted to know that can we launch apport to report bugs even if the application haven't crashed .How can i report bugs to launchpad using apport which are not crash related? [12:37] I guess nobody really seen the atheros problem yet, or even the busybox dual-boot probs. [12:37] im upgrading to lucid lynx [12:37] !lts [12:37] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [12:38] mso: I would still stick to windows for backup.

[12:39] once its installed screen goes blank...??help [12:40] mso... thanks now i feel very confident in my upgrade hehe [12:40] I guess that new/change isn't always a good thing *becomes enlightens by lightning bolt*. [12:40] jb42, true [12:40] i cant get it right..dont know why.. [12:40] tell that to Obama? === zhang is now known as Guest90523 [12:40] how do I go to a line with a specific number in nano?

[12:44] everything loads up fine till i get to log on..then nothing [12:44] mso: I believe that 6GB of RAM should more than suffice in the RAM requirement.

[12:47] ive tried both ways jamiewan_ [12:48] mso: What's the problem?

[12:49] pretty frustrating after ive tried 3 times [12:49] mso, you can try that 'safe graphics' mode and see if the sys holds up. [12:49] Hey there. Could anyone direct me to a tutorial telling me how to get conky to display my network stats as it is not picking them up, and I cant find a good tutorial to help me [12:49] mso: boot in safe graphics mode and choose to reconfigure x [12:49] myself* [12:49] *holds up after computer processing* [12:49] ohh ok...didnt try that [12:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5436679 meis this?

I also tried logging in a 'generic gnome setting' and I think that worked for me during my 8.04.1 experience. [12:51] I have a question... Are there any Twitter clients that currently work, and is there a patch in the works for Gwibber? (Since Twitter changed the way they handle logins, Gwibber doesn't like to log in right, [12:51] bazhang: I have a nice config at the moment, its just the wireless wont work [12:51] and I haven't seen any updates to it recently. O.o;; [12:51] meis: i also have seen some conky-config helper tools in the last few months. some make nice custome ubuntu-themed configs you can tewek [12:52] that funny its a pretty new graphics card Stale [12:52] conky hacking seems to gotten really popular the last few months.

[13:13] ActionParsnip on ubuntu forums I see a one liner but bazhang told me those options were removed because of legal issues [13:14] Kartagis: theres the various tool sin the mediabuntu and other repositories/ppa's that may have whatever features you are needing [13:14] Kartagis: what are yoy trying to do exactly anyway? [13:14] Kartagis: thanks man [13:15] Kartagis: wow, not heard that before. freaky [13:15] hi guys, im having a problem with VMWARE, it wont recognize my network card [13:15] ljsoftnet np [13:15] fajf: i'd ask in #vmware too [13:15] fajf: vmwarew emulates its own virtual nic i thought. [13:16] i' ve been told on other chat to ask here ;o [13:16] fajf: it would appear as a networked machine (at least thats how virtualbox works) [13:16] Dr_Willis what I'm trying to do is, mass convert and mass subtitle embed to mp4 files that nokia 5800 can read [13:16] !vmware | fajf [13:16] fajf: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [13:16] Kartagis: thats a phone? or somthing else?

[13:17] Kartagis: i recall the ffmpeg faq having some info on subtitles. ive never used the feature. [13:17] ActionParsnip http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125181 is one-liner I found [13:17] Kartagis: once ya learn how to make ffmpeg do it for one.. - the bulk conversion is easy [13:19] Dr_Willis http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125181 is the one-liner I found but bazhang told me some options were removed from ffmpeg because of legal issues and suggested that I use handbrake instead, but that converts to m2v only [13:19] I made a dirty Nautilus Script. so i can convert vbideos to cell phone format with a right click. (for my phone) heres the pastebin of it --> [13:19] pastebinit Video_To_Cellphone [13:19] http://pastebin.com/SV7m8EeN [13:19] Kartagis: you can get ffmpeg from other sources.. or recompile the latest with all features [13:20] Kartagis: looks good, use a script with that and you can do whole bunches of files while you sleep [13:21] Dr_Willis what source do you recommend? [13:21] how to get motherboard info under ubuntu ??? in bios it doesnt show [13:21] anyone had success using blackberry with ubuntu? i've read all forums etc but still nothing close to the BDM (blackberry desktop manager) for windows. cant get it to run through wine. anyone had success? [13:21] Tweaky, i had [13:21] Kartagis: i saw some scripts on various ubuntu news/blog sites that automated the whole 'compile latest ffmpeg' process.. but medibuntu may have the allready [13:22] but under windows [13:22] Kartagis: the issue may be the aac audio codec. You may be able to just use mp3 and have it work. [13:22] tracy69: install a program from repository called sysinfo [13:22] Dr_Willis it complained about libxvid too [13:23] Kartagis: xvid is video codec. that example command i saw was using the h264 not xvid. [13:23] I think I have done something bad to my server. I tried to update libc6 to version 2.11 by using a deb package but then it started to complain on dependencies and now I get this message when installing stuff: http://pastebin.com/3yn1qDAt If I try the -f thingy, it tries to remove like 10000 packages, telling me that I should abort it if I really don't know what I am doing. It would free 1.5 GB of space. [13:24] Howdy all. A disk in a raid5 array just failed. http://pastebin.com/arDmuPjE I have come to the conclusion that I have no idea what to do [13:24] Unknown encoder 'libfaac' [13:24] zagabar: install the old version of libc... [13:24] seems faac is the problem child. :) [13:24] zagabar: then you need to satisfy the deps [13:24] zagabar: the one from the repositories [13:25] jophish: sorry I can't help you, but I love the way you phrased that [13:25] jrib: It's exciting [13:25] jophish: I'm even adding it to my ubuntu_quotes file [13:25] :) [13:25] hi world [13:26] hi kaki [13:26] can ffmpeg convert from mkv? [13:26] invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcp3-server, action "start" failed why ? [13:26] the last time I tried ffmpeg from the repo with medibuntu extras it suppoted libfaac. I use compiled version tho. [13:26] hi i want to restrict folder access in ubuntu. how i can do that? [13:26] Kartagis: should be able to convert from/to most anything witht he right commands [13:27] max__: look into chown to change ownership and chmod to restrict access to the groups and the owner to be appropriate for your needs [13:27] /server /server irc.crypticlarity.net +6697 [13:27] right click on folder, properties, permissions [13:28] you can spend sevarl days learning about ffmpeg and all the things to watch out for. :) === tracy68 is now known as tracy69 [13:28] http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php/useful-stuff/ffmpeg-x264-encoding-guide/ has some neat info [13:28] or sudo chmod 0777 the folder path [13:29] people i tried to run lshw and my screen freeze anyone know why? lshw started scan and i stopped at framebuffer than screen freeze [13:29] kaki: 777 on folders isreally silly [13:29] yeah really [13:29] Dr_Willis if medibuntu repo and another repo have what I want, how can I make sure that I get it from the right repo? [13:29] ActionParsnip: it's binary permissions, everyone has permissions or no one does, duh [13:30] linux permissions are useless [13:30] jrib: true, or you can make a group and have those folks have access and the owner too but no other [13:30] st__: how so? [13:30] Kartagis, if you can copy paste commands then its as easy as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 [13:31] i tired using chown -R but i shows lock icon on folder but does not ask for password to access [13:31] any sudoer can delete/reassign any file on the system [13:31] max__: then you will need to add sudo to the command as it is not your users [13:31] chown yourusername:yourusergroup [13:31] st__: tru but if you dont have everyone as admin you can have control [13:32] Prepare your dhcp-server [13:32] On what network interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests? i must write my network card right? wlan0 ? [13:32] st__: same can be said in windows, difference is that all users are admin by default in windows wheras they are users in linux [13:32] sudo chown [13:32] this is what i wrote "sudo chown -R root:blaze ~/Desktop/Practice". Is this command correct [13:33] no, in windows you can assign privileges to any group and allow the groups filesystem access, like Powerusers [13:33] max__: looks fine, root will be the outright owner but the users in the blaze group will also have the access granted to the group [13:33] st__: yes, you can do that in linux using chown and chmod, its synonymous [13:34] st__: and any admin can remove any permissions set, just like sudoers can get access to stuff in linux [13:34] thanks i got what's the problem [13:35] you have to give users sudo access for working with trivial stuff like /usr/share/fonts and /usr/share/wallpapers [13:36] max__: you will need to chmod too to give the owners and group members the access you want, you may only want the blaze group to have read access but root to have full access etc [13:36] Hi everybody ... [13:36] Hello. I'm on a Sony Vaio; My webcam doesn't work (R5U870); I've installed (tried both apt-get as well as compile) the R5U87X driver, but the camera doesn't seem to get detected in gstreamer-properties. Also there is no /dev/video* .. How do i get my cam to work? [13:36] i need to get help about tomcat server, but i cannot join irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-server channel. [13:36] st__: not if you give them sufficient access with groups, normal users should have access to those, you should log a bug if your normal users do not and you havent modified your accesses [13:37] someone can help :s [13:37] touch-e: i believe if you register you will be able to join [13:37] haaa oky :) [13:38] oky thx for the advice [13:40] ActionParsnip, everything in /usr is owned by root:root, you tell it's a bug? [13:41] what tool can i use to diagnostic everything thats in my laptop ? [13:42] st__: what access does the world have though, thats only 2 3rds of the access puzzle [13:43] guys, is there a way for me to remove the notifications in xChat. its annoying when someone joins and leaves the channel [13:43] st__: you will see the last octet of access, is R-X which means the world and it's dog can READ and EXECUTE the files therin, sufficient access is given [13:43] culo [13:43] here tracy69 http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysdiag.html [13:43] vinok, right click the channel tab and select to hide the messages [13:43] st__: also means that users do NOT need complete system access to get what they need [13:44] vinok, under settings.... [13:45] stupid question, just upgraded to 10.04, how do I get the window buttons back to the right side of the top bars? [13:45] st__: in reply to your question, no root:root is not a bug and is expected [13:45] !controls | wildc4rd [13:45] wildc4rd: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [13:45] !controls | wildc4rd [13:46] is there a way i can hide wally from the notification area but still keep it running for wallpaper change. Its notification icon is green and doesn't look good with all the monochrome icons. thanks [13:46] I have some trouble installing the latest nvidia drivers from nvidia.com - does anyone know of a guide, or perhaps a ppa for a newer nvidia-latest? [13:47] phaedra, sorry for being a noob where is it exactly, im using xchat 2.8.6 [13:48] vinok, right click on the channel name in either the tree view or tab view. [13:48] thanks jrib, sorted [13:49] vinok, then go to settings > hide join/part messages [13:49] anyone has a wifi card with ralink chipset? [13:49] l3dx: http://www.sucka.net/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-256-35-display-drivers-in-ubuntu-from-a-ppa-repository/ [13:49] cant get it to work with rt2500pci [13:49] ActionParsnip: thanks a lot! :) [13:49] !anyone | jb42 [13:49] jb42: 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? [13:50] how to get ralink card to work? [13:52] hi,what does this mean? # path of the bootloader file, relative to tftpd's root [13:52] how to capture ipcamera stream in Ubuntu? [13:53] Hey I have an HP tx 1320 us with a fresh 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 install. I don't think that Ubuntu is detecting the WiFi hardware. Can someone help me? Thanks. [13:54] rek, where the bootloader code is stored on your netboot server [13:54] LinuxFetus: try running the tool called "hardware drivers" and tell us if it lists any inactive drivers [13:54] st__: that path of pxe.0 ? [13:55] hacked_kernel: depends, what format is the stream in and how is it delivered? [13:55] LinuxFetus, did you try to see the output of lspci? [13:55] I'm getting (seemingly) random lockups. Mainly when doing something with Nautilus. I've fscked all my drives, so I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas? [13:55] st__: can pxe.0 be anywhere? should i get only that little file? 14kb ? [13:55] rek, have no idea, never worked with net boot [13:55] so what does "relative to the tftpd's root mean ? [13:56] magentar, mpeg4 and i can get it through UDP port [13:56] magnetron: Yeah, I think it said that Broadcom PTA Wireless Driver was inactivated. [13:56] jemark: I'll try that, too. [13:56] LinuxFetus: try selecting that driver and click "activate" [13:56] rek https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-netboot-pxe-config.html ? [13:57] magnetron: I did, but it tries to download it... which I can't, obviously, because I can't connect to the internet (I'm on this channel via another computer). [13:57] no no ok at the root i found out [13:57] LinuxFetus: could you connect with a cable for the sake of driver download? it's a restricted driver and ubuntu isn't allowed to dstribute it on the CD [13:58] broadcom sux ballz [13:58] magnetron: Not at the moment. I do have a USB, so, if it's possible, I can download it and move it over. [13:59] jb42: It's not my computer. [13:59] restricted as in 'pirated'? [13:59] st__: Restricted probably as proprietary. Debian doesn't like that. [13:59] st__: Generally speaking. [13:59] so why it cannot be on CD, if it's legit? [14:00] st__: some software is legit UNLESS you redistribute it on CDs [14:00] how to capture ipcamera stream in Ubuntu? [14:00] st__: i don̈́'t know the name of the software in question, so i can't provide any further details [14:00] st__: you can't just redistribute anything, even if it's "free" to download. Linux is free as in freedom to redistribute and modify (keeping the license). [14:01] hacked_kernel: depends, i asked some follow up question earlier. feel free to help me help you [14:01] My old home directory is encrypted with encryptfs, i did it at instalation "require my password to log in and decrypt my home directory". I now need to decrypt it in a different os, I cant find any guides to do this. Can anyone help? [14:01] magnetron: So is there a way I can download it onto a USB? [14:01] hacked_kernel: you tried with mplayer? [14:01] LinuxFetus: i don't know [14:01] mpeg4 and i can get it through UDP port magentar [14:01] mplayer -dumpstream or something [14:01] if you can watch it with mplayer, youcan record it [14:01] i have no sound in lucid on my asrock ion in flashplayer [14:01] ok, I have a few issues since upgrading to 10.04 netbook remix. If I change the display configuration all the menus vanish, and I can't watch media anymore, flash based online or anything on my PC, I get the sound but not the image. [14:01] jb42, yes it connects but nothing happening [14:02] magnetron: Well would would the terminal command be for activating a driver? [14:02] just a question... does an usb headset get recognized without issues? [14:02] just setting up multiple systems and idling here... so i thought i might ask [14:02] I use hsmi for and it works fine for mythtv and vlc after adjusting settings [14:03] hmm [14:03] k [14:03] Re wirelessUSB: On each disto since 9..10 I have to add "blacklist rt2800usb" to: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add "rt2870sta" to: /etc/modules... any ideas if there is a better way or a driver available somewhere? [14:03] *distro [14:03] wildc4rd: can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash;dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; lsb_release -a thanks === raymond is now known as ipatrol [14:03] i will check it on a single system first and run a backup if required. [14:03] no sound in firefox help.... [14:04] LinuxFetus: "jockey-text". it does the exact same thing as the "Hardware Drivers" GUI [14:04] rileyp in flash? [14:04] rileyp: in flash do you mean???? [14:04] yes thats correct [14:04] rileyp: can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash;dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; lsb_release -a thanks [14:04] rileyp, did you try to restart firefox? [14:04] rileyp: flash != firefox [14:04] magnetron: Well I think I found a solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390979 [14:05] rileyp: you could be using embedded vdeo (avi etc) and get sound and it is a completely different issue to flash audio [14:05] The dark lucid theme was giving me a headache, so I changed back to the human theme and dug through the source archives to get the Karmic wallpaper [14:05] update-manager wants to delete 118 "obsolete" packages. is this fine? [14:05] jb42, no [14:05] there's sun-java6-jre int here and other stuff [14:05] i keep them then? [14:06] actionparsnip, I just post the link back in here? [14:06] jb42: Upgrading from karmic to lucid? [14:06] yes [14:06] ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1139493 [14:06] wildc4rd: yep, copy the address bar address and paste here [14:07] keep or delete? [14:07] jb42: sun-java is no longer in the standard repositories, it's in the partner repository. [14:07] jb42: I'd go with delete, then add the partner repository and install sun-java again [14:07] I have an asrock ion and use hdmi for audio I use alsa [14:07] geirha: what difference does that make? [14:07] how to install partner then? [14:07] jb42: The partner repository is disabled by default. [14:07] it also wants to delete mplayer and wine === ofan is now known as OFAN [14:07] and 188 total [14:07] actionparsnip, here is the link http://pastie.org/1139492 (the problem is on my netbook) [14:07] 118* [14:08] rileyp: hmm strange, ok lets try reinstalling it: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autormove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [14:08] !partner [14:08] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [14:08] LinuxFetus: i suggest you install the package "broadcom-sta-common" from USB [14:08] wildlappy: hmm strange, ok lets try reinstalling it: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autormove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [14:08] jb42: Sounds about the same as when I upgraded to lucid. I chose to delete. [14:09] i chose delete [14:09] is there a simple way to restruct a user to his home dir in ssh and sftp now? [14:09] okay, hope i did well [14:09] *restrict [14:09] LinuxFetus: try using the CD as installation source if possible [14:09] hi [14:09] Hello [14:09] hopefully i'll be in lucid in a few [14:09] can ubuntu installer migrate Windows' user profiles? [14:10] I am trying to setup dual monitor correctly but can't get the primary monitor switched [14:10] st__: in what way? the windows profile stuff holds a lot of stuff that linux doesnt need... [14:10] ActionParsnip, Im reinstalling [14:11] alriight [14:11] well like documents, desktop etc [14:11] see ya in lucid :p [14:12] st__: you can transfer docs etc, desktop icons might not be appropriate as the apps may be different. You could suggest it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com it sounds simple in areas to acomplish but others could be hard [14:12] JPeterson: there's a directive called "ChrootDirectory" that can apply to SFTP. i don't think it applies to the SCP protocol [14:12] ActionParsnip, done still no auido I closed firefox whilst installing and then tried after install completed [14:13] magnetron: ok, i'll try that [14:13] ActionParsnip, do I need to reboot? [14:13] rileyp: does this work: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 do you get sound? [14:13] rileyp: no, reboots are for windows (and kernel updates) [14:14] rileyp: Just close all browsers and rerun === kiran is now known as Guest15101 [14:15] ActionParsnip, Idid that the flash animation mworks but still no sound I need to select hdmi as the out put somewher or make it the default audio output somehow this is how Ive fixed in the past but silly me did not document what I did [14:15] JPeterson: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 [14:15] In evolution mail my gmail inbox is in a different folder to my normal inbox how can i fix this? [14:15] ActionParsnip: restarts are also a rough way to complete changes to background processes [14:16] if the uses doesn't know how to use killall [14:16] ipatrol: true [14:16] *user [14:16] rileyp: i've never played with hdmi, try using standard speakers to test [14:16] ipatrol: i usually advise reboots, much easier [14:16] actionparsnip, uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer OK, youtube works, but still nothing on BBC new 24 or any of my media through VLC [14:16] It wil prob work with std speakers but that is of little consecqeuince [14:17] but logoff-logon can do that, many updates that claim to need restarts aren't actually nessecary, you just have to start the service [14:17] on windows [14:17] on linux we know better [14:18] I need to make the alsa /hdmi the default sound output [14:18] ipatrol: yeah but for new users I just advise reboots bit messy but it works [14:18] Do I need to remove pulse [14:18] but most windows users just think of a terminal as some scary thing that will break the computer if they open it === robert__ is now known as rwmarch [14:18] ipatrol: it's really just KISS for new linux desktop users [14:18] ipatrol: we use powershell here to do lots, its awesome [14:19] magnetron: ok i tried the changes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config outlined there, so a stupid question, how do I enable the changes, ie how do I restart openssh? [14:19] !partner [14:19] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [14:19] hi [14:19] ActionParsnip: also, they are used to reboots after updates, terminal commands, not so much [14:19] is it possible to change the mouse scroll speed ? [14:19] lestat: yes [14:19] JPeterson: "sudo service ssh restart [14:19] thanks [14:19] lestat: system - preferences - mouse [14:20] ipatrol: i've been there but cannot find anything about scroll speed [14:20] what document is the default audio output device selected in [14:20] !sound [14:20] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [14:21] ipatrol: the pointer speed is the speed of the cursor afaik, not the scroll increment [14:21] lestat: yes, but they are by default interconnected. otherwise you need to look at the manual to your mouse [14:22] unless you want to start hacking around with xorg.conf [14:22] lestat: if you just want to do it for firefox, you can change it in about:config, don't know about system-wide [14:22] magnetron: on a sidenote, it seemes like my system used the old convention sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart, even though I've upgraded to 10.04, because sudo service ssh restart just says "ssh start/running, process 30802", or maybe that means it has restarted? [14:22] jrib: i want to change it system wide [14:22] no, sun jre isnot in pertner... i can't find it anymore! [14:22] doesn't gnome allowed to change the scroll increment ? o_o [14:22] jb__: it's "partner", and it is in there [14:22] lestat: hold on one second then [14:22] JPeterson: i don't know [14:23] magnetron: ok [14:23] How is it possible to allow a certain group the permission to do anything to some files Except delete them? [14:23] selam [14:23] lestat: afaik, this is not solved yet in gnome [14:23] kimse varmı türk [14:23] !fi > hepatit [14:23] hepatit, please see my private message [14:23] PsyNet: do you care whether the files get deleted or just emptied? [14:23] PsyNet: write access will give write access and delete access unfortunately, not sure there personally [14:24] jrib, I added the partner repo as indicated, and it's not listed in synaptics anymore since I did. It was right before I did, but said something about apckage cannot be found even though it is listed [14:24] lestat: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 [14:24] jb__: run sudo apt-get update. Use a terminal to attempt install the package and show me the output on a pastebin (including your commands) [14:24] jrib I don't want to files to be either [14:24] PsyNet: You can not prevent delition if you want to enable write access. The file system in itself does not support an "append" right afaik. [14:25] PsyNet: how about if they just replace the contents with the letter 'a', is that okay? What exactly do you want them to be able to do? [14:25] Hi! [14:25] ... [14:26] I want to record the sound from my applications not from my microphone. But first i had to set my settings from sound preferences. Can someone help me please ? [14:26] lestat: as far as I can see the feature does not exits because of the way scrolling is handled, you need to find a solution with your mouse or drivers [14:26] *exist [14:27] ipatrol: i guess i will change for a less retarded desktop manager ^^ [14:28] lestat: no, the problem is X, and that is not something that you could probably change [14:28] I really don't even know of a free window manager other than X [14:28] how come apt-get ofund sun-java6-jre but synaptic didn't? is something broken? [14:28] ipatrol: how kde is handling it then ? [14:29] lestat: modifications to the X server's source code? [14:29] ipatrol: really ? [14:29] lestat: comb the source trees and see [14:30] damn [14:31] ipatrol: i don't understand what the problem is, when i scroll in xev, either it's button 4 or 5 wethere i scroll up or down [14:31] -e [14:31] lestat try #kubuntu, ask them about scroll increment settings. [14:31] lestat: also, try asking in #kde or #kde-dev [14:32] ipatrol: i trust you, just trying to understand the problem si i can accept it ^^ [14:32] its useless to ask anything in #kde [14:32] lestat: yeah, that's how X handles scroll events [14:32] snarkster: why? [14:32] I want to record the sound from my applications not from my microphone. But first i had to set my settings from sound preferences. Can someone help me please ? [14:32] ive asked several hundred question they never answer, i come in here and get an answer almost immediately [14:32] hey, my ubuntu 10.10 is stuck waiting in the bootup screen on my laptop, normally it completes in 5 seconds... is it perhaps doing a fs scan that isn't displayed? [14:33] is there someway to see the progress of the fs scan? [14:33] I'm trying to enable the rewrite module to my new ubuntu note, I changed the AllowOverride to All but its not working [14:33] # this is the unused IP address we will assign temporarily to the PXE client [14:33] fixed-address 10.0.0.16; [14:33] is this necessary? [14:33] ipatrol: is it possible to handle the scroll config with something else than xorg.cong, like udev etc ? [14:33] lestat: if all else fails, you can file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome [14:34] what am I missing? [14:34] lestat: only with a kernel extension [14:34] ive been an avid KDE fan since version 1, gave up and went to gnome.. [14:34] ipatrol: i don't mind having to install a lkm [14:34] rek, for PXE yes, otherwise your client will not connect. [14:35] is there someway to see the progress of the fs scan during bootup? [14:35] anyone know away to have a kde plasmoid on a gnome desktop? [14:35] currently it just displays the purple bootup screen [14:35] ok [14:35] dmex are you an expert?

But first i had to set my settings from sound preferences. Can someone help me please ? [14:40] kelle_p: try jack [14:40] wildlappy: in recent times there has been a movement to strip ubuntu of nonfree packages, including certain codecs [14:40] hi [14:40] snarkster: jack ? [14:40] snarkster: is a software ? [14:40] kelle_p: jack audio [14:40] is it possible to use a notebook-keyboard as a bluetooth keyboard for another device? [14:40] kelle_p gtkrecordmydesktop will do it (it is possibal only to record sound) it is in the repoes [14:40] kelle_p: yes [14:40] kraut: no but neat idea [14:41] ipatrol, it was fine on Karmic, codecs removed since then? [14:41] snarkster: damn [14:41] kraut: make it so [14:41] don't want to pay for a bluetooth keyboard for my ps3 [14:41] wildlappy: wouldn't suprise me [14:41] kraut: I just use a cabled one [14:41] i dislike cables ;) [14:42] meh [14:42] fuck [14:42] kraut: then quit being cheap and go get a BT keyboard, while your at it get me one to [14:42] snarkster kraut what would be great if you could do that with ipod/ipad [14:42] snarkster: paddy_: i dont need any new program. this is something about "sound preferences". if i will set the true options it will do it. it is not possible to say that. it must record my applications... :( [14:42] is there any way whatsoever to see the progress of the FS scan that gets triggered during bootup!?!?!?!?! [14:42] paddy_: yup agreed [14:42] PLEASE!? [14:42] kraut: use vnc maybe [14:42] FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

[16:24] bitreader, open your software sources in package manager and enable all the repos , canonical partners and other software sources , except the cdrom repos , then sudo aptitude update [16:24] krzysz00: well, idk then [16:24] krzysz00: but I try to record a test there is no sound coming out..

[16:26] !belkin [16:26] !wireless | i_is_broke [16:26] i_is_broke: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:26] wildc4rd: that says interesting things about your drivers. How does mplayer do if you specify "-vo x11"? [16:26] i_is_broke, I have a belkin usb wifi adapter , but I haven't been able to get it to work since jaunty [16:27] focusone: so i don;t know what could be happening [16:27] how do I grant user `john` permission to read and write file `myfile` ? [16:27] in cli [16:27] I think its a dirver issue.. [16:27] BluesKaj, hey hows it going? and great...whats a good one to use then? [16:27] ? [16:28] gryllida: Is john the owner of the file? Is John a member of the group that the file belongs to? [16:28] BlueEagle: I think so [16:28] he made the file [16:28] wildc4rd: could be that you're actually running out of video memory. 1) Is it one of those shared memory type setups? 2) Have you tried disabling compiz? [16:28] gryllida: please provide the output of `ls -l filename` [16:28] i_is_broke, I don't know , I switched to ethernet ...it's much faster moving data around on our network anyway [16:29] BlueEagle: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root [16:29] gryllida: I see. And this is a file that john should own but it was made while john were doing sudo? [16:29] gryllida: sudo chown john:john filename [16:30] here is my mic erro http://pastebin.com/iqNfmgYv [16:30] BlueEagle: er. it was made by john, then root user changed permission ( I don't know how), then I have root too and want to change it back [16:30] BlueEagle: ok [16:30] gryllida: chown will change the owner of the file. [16:30] aetaric, BluesKaj The reason I asked is because for instance... I just installed xchat, issuing 'sudo aptitude install xchat', and it installed 2.8.6 version, yet xchat is running around 2.8.9 by now. [16:31] gryllida: If john is a member of the group root you can `chmod g+rw filename` which will allow the group to read/write it. [16:31] I'm trying to install a mic driver here is the output .. Thanks... http://pastebin.com/iqNfmgYv [16:31] I'm having some trouble with ubuntu if anyone could help. [16:32] gryllida: But I think you want john to be the owner of the file in most cases. [16:32] what would be a good equivalent to hardinfo that works on amd64 [16:32] S0lder, just fire the question. [16:32] S0lder: whats the problem..

[16:35] haha never mind there [16:35] apparently it was dumb and using the old listing in the package manager [16:36] before updating the cache it was all "SORRY NO HARDINFO FOR 64" but now we're good [16:36] Nikkie: you may have to shell out for visio if not [16:36] every time i start my system i get prompted to unlock my keyring saying it did not get unlocked when i log in. how do i make it so that it does get automatically unlocked? i have auto-login set up [16:36] i_is_broke, is this a built in belkin or a usb [16:36] BluesKaj, its a usb. n150 [16:36] Hilikus: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/ [16:36] oops redundant question [16:37] Hilikus: if you set no keyring password you dont get bothered for that [16:37] @ActionParsnip - Didn't get you ! [16:37] <^Cheeky> hi , how can i have my silimilar windows open and form a stack or somesort instead of opening different windows like if i open FF and then another FF window it would take up more space in the horizonal pannel at the bottom, cant they be stacked, or when i open file browser every time .. a new window opens up for each one cant i have it open or maximize only one nautilus file browser window ? [16:37] kinda sucks that the temperature readings in hardinfo are blank right now but hey [16:37] i_is_broke, maybe this tutorial using ndiswrapper will work for you , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin%20F5D8053?highlight=%28ManufacturerModel%29|%28AND%29 === ServerTechPro is now known as ServerTech [16:38] BluesKaj, ill take a look at it...thanks [16:38] !fr [16:38] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[16:57] Im not sure, not mine [16:57] Adluc: find out [16:57] Hi, my computer has a intel extreme graphics i845 and everything is fine except for very jumpy 3d rendering. Any help would be much appreciated [16:57] 64 bit machines need 64 bit ubuntu [16:57] I cannot reburn that CD [16:57] Damn [16:57] vncsnvs - I want the non OSE version of VirtualBox for 10.10 Beta [16:57] Here is 24 kB/s internet [16:57] ipatrol: they can run 32bit just fune.. [16:57] Adluc: you can download a new copy [16:57] ipatrol: 64bit CPU can run 32bit OS [16:57] a16BitSoft, nice, go to www.virtualbox.org [16:58] ipatrol: do they need it, or does it just run better? i use 32bit with 64 bit processor [16:58] ActionParsnip: unless thay lack proprt emulation [16:58] My machine is64bit but i'm using 32bit ubuntu n just works fine [16:58] knolls: it depends, the hardware has to have 32 bit emulation to work [16:58] @ActionParsnip - What do you mean by shell out ? [16:58] When I choose to install ubuntu, it gets me to terminal,after minute it starts X, with black screen [16:58] nothing else [16:58] most do, but a few small computers don't [16:58] all 64bit processors are born as 32bit [16:59] Adluc: and whats the video card/chipset? [16:59] Adluc: did you MD5 test the file you downloaded to make the CD / USB? [16:59] Adluc: if you made a CD did you test the CD for defects once booted to? [16:59] That CD is fine, it already installed from it 3 times [16:59] 64 bit intel/amd cpus support 32 bit "emulation" by design [16:59] *I [17:01] Adluc: download a new copy from the website, do a checksum, and try booting it, installing ubuntu right at the boot menu. Do not pass LiveCD, do not collect 200MBs. Partition it and GRUB will dual boot for you [17:01] Adluc: then test CD for defects just in case then this may help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [17:01] I mean [17:01] Its not live CD [17:01] Adluc: so its a USB / SD card? [17:01] Adluc: all ubuntu CDs are live CDs [17:01] It may be a good test to try some alterantive disrtos also like tiny-core linux - see if they have any issues (its just a 10mb download) [17:02] tinycore, damn small linux, puppy linux [17:02] on my laptop, when I boot it, it asks me for language in desktop [17:02] Here it doesnt [17:02] Adluc: what version of ubuntu is tyhis? [17:02] xpud rocks too, boots the fastest of any linux i've seen [17:02] 10.04 [17:02] Adluc: describe the laptop's chips/cards/features in more detail [17:03] Adluc: if you hit space when you see some icons at the bottom it should pop up a menu and ask for the language and let you select some other options [17:03] 192.168.0.1/24 == 192.168.0.(1 - 254) correct? [17:03] hello guys I have a problem with my wless when running ubuntu, yesterday someone post me a thread where there was a windows side fix, related to something windows closes and linux can open. I have reimaged my pc now and lost those logs, anyone can help? my wless card is a: brandcom 4313 802.11b/g/n realtek pcie fe familly controller - I have downloaded and installed the driver from realtek yet it won't work+ [17:04] edbian: err did you mean 192.168.0.1/254? [17:04] aeon-ltd: No I did not. I meant the block notation 192.168.0.1 / 24 (meaning the first 24 bits are locked, the first 3 octets) [17:04] @ActionParsnip - openOffice draw can serve the purpose of creating a file...However, I'd like to open .vsd(windows) file.. [17:05] aeon-ltd: Do you know what I'm talking about? [17:07] edbian: no i don't know the whole context, but in iptables rules 192.168.0.1/n is short for accept ips within that range [17:07] here is the mic error again: http://pastebin.com/TDZecDv0 Thanks.. [17:07] edbian, yes, you're correct [17:07] aeon-ltd: Do you mean 192.168.0.1/n means "ranges from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.n ?? [17:07] Is it possible to check MD5 of CD from windows ? [17:07] Without rebooting [17:07] yes [17:08] md5sum is available on windows too [17:08] edbian: yeah [17:08] effj: I'm rigth about 192.168.0.1/24 = 192.168.0.(1-254) [17:08] aeon-ltd: I don't think you're right. But I can't double check right now. [17:08] focusone: did you try the command that your message is speaking about? [17:08] join #es-ubuntu [17:08] Nikkie, I'm afraid Visio is unique Windows product and you cannot import its documents [17:08] yeah... [17:08] edbian, yes [17:08] join #ubuntu-es [17:08] edbian: ok, i'll look it up, but the rules seem to work for samba etc :) [17:08] :-s [17:08] effj: Thanks [17:08] focusone: ...and what happened? [17:08] but I'm not sure if it went through correctly... I know if I try to record no audio is being recodeed.. [17:09] focusone: exactly happened when you ran the command you mentioned? [17:09] _ was able to build the modules.. installed them... [17:09] Does anyone know how to sync music to ipod with amarok ? [17:09] Or know any other software that will sync? [17:09] Hi all, what's recommended app for desktop recording? [17:09] Thanks guys! [17:09] effj: [17:09] edbian, aeon-ltd, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIDR_notation if you want to read more about it [17:10] I run dpkg-reconfigure em8300 and it give me that error in the bin file I posted.. [17:10] focusone: add "sudo" infront of the commmand [17:10] I'm running as root.. [17:11] not in here.... lol.. [17:11] what do I need to do to get ircd-hybrid to work from an account other than from localhost. seems my localhost works ok. I already changed /etc/ircd-hybrid/ircd.conf to http://paste.ubuntu.com/488811/ but still won't work as anything but local host. [17:11] focusone: then you should know what you are doing [17:11] ikonia: if I did I wouldnt be asking for help : - ) [17:11] focusone: then you shouldn't be running as root [17:11] Any ideas why ubuntu is only outputting sound to the rear channel on my sound card? [17:12] rjgonza: just 1 side or just the rear 2> [17:12] rjgonza: probably because surround isn't enabled [17:12] just rear [17:12] ikonia: OK.. point taken... but this is a mic issue that i'm hacving.. [17:12] Hi, does anyone know how to get old intel drivers for ubuntu? [17:13] focusone: how is the type of issue your having related to what I've just said [17:13] is there anyway to enable per pixel touchpad scrolling? [17:13] lemme look around about enabling surround sound [17:14] ikonia: you said that I should know what I'm doing becuase I'm running as root... well I always have... I dont like using the sudo command... thats just me... but I dont know why I'm having mic issues... [17:14] focusone: then you shouldn't be running as root [17:14] ok once again.. point taken... [17:14] Falcz: normaly older stuff (drivers) work better than newer ones. try to give the results of lspci and or lshw in pastebin and maybe someone can help you. [17:15] sacarlson: Ok thanks. Will do. [17:15] sacarlson: that is just utter nonsense [17:15] ikonia: I meant that older hardware is normaly supported better than new stuf. not that new software is bad. [17:16] sacarlson: much less nonsense [17:17] ikonia : i agree with you. [17:17] ikonia: thanks for catching that [17:17] sacarlson: more thanks for correcting [17:18] sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/488813/ [17:19] Thanks guys... [17:19] Falcz: so what doesn't work the graphic card that I'm not sure but seems to have 2? [17:20] Hey guys... I need to rename a bunch of files that end in .rhtml to the filename but with the extension of .html.erb [17:20] does anyone know any easy way to do that? [17:20] I need to do it in sub folders too [17:20] sdwrage: Yup [17:20] Dead easy, with the POWER OF REGEX! [17:20] * slyboots glows with Regex power [17:20] slyboots, would you be able to throw the command my way? :) [17:21] sacarlson: The graphics card works, but the 3d rendering is extremely jumpy and basically useless. [17:21] I would better recomend learning how to do it yourself tbh [17:21] Regular expressions are great, but.. Im feeling lazy so okay [17:21] Try 'rename -n 's/.html/.html.erb/' * [17:22] Im not sure how to make that run in sub-directores though (-n is test, if you want to do the rename for real use -v) [17:23] man rename will have the answer to that Im sure [17:23] so i changed deamon.conf to have my speaker channel setup and restarted pulseaudio, but still no sound from the normal channel, only rear [17:23] what does it mean exactly the manage system permission in preferences of an user? [17:23] Falcz: seem I see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1448684 did you look at the propriatary or backports ? [17:24] what does it mean exactly the manage system permission in preferences of an user? is it just allowing to run sudo, su etc? [17:24] my 3d games crash my computer [17:24] Hi [17:24] sebsebseb: hi [17:24] aeon-ltd: hi [17:24] who can help me [17:25] ronnie: With what? Just joined [17:25] sacarlson: Sorry, Im not entirely sure what you mean? [17:25] my 3d games crash my computer [17:25] I just have a real quick question about CUPS deamon. Is CUPS supposed to send stuff like this? See http://dpaste.com/239156/ I think it could be a rootkit. I know that it has something to do with CUPS, because it stopped as soon as I killed the deamon. [17:25] ronnie: Games from Ubuntu repo? [17:26] google earth [17:26] Falcz: I also see this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes that I'm not sure is a match for yours [17:26] ronnie: ok Google Earth isn't a game [17:26] ronnie: have you got the right drivers for your card? [17:26] i dont know [17:26] ronnie: system > administration > hardware drivers [17:26] ronnie: what card you got? [17:26] or type of [17:26] ? [17:26] sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === dallas_ is now known as DallasG [17:27] Falcz: 8xx chips I guess that might be you [17:27] Sacarlson: Yep, I think it is. [17:27] I just installed flashplugin-installer, and it did so successfully, yet, I get a prompt in youtube asking me to upgrade to 10.1. Is there a safe way to do this? Or simply by downloading the .deb for ubuntu 8.04+ from adobe will work like a charm? [17:27] Sacarlson: Do you think it would help with the performance? [17:27] bitreader: oh your on 8.04 [17:27] when i do that it just say no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [17:28] sebsebseb, I'm not. [17:28] Falcz: I'm not sure did you look at System>Administration>hardware to see if any propriatary stuff exists? [17:28] ronnie: do you personally know what card it is? [17:28] bitreader: ok just read it again [17:28] bitreader: the version from the repo should be good enough really, if your on 10.04 [17:28] ronnie: is there one to install? [17:28] Falcz: I didn't see it in my search so I guess it's not there. [17:28] ronnie: is there are driver being offered to be installed? [17:29] i dont know im new to ubuntu if you couldnt figure [17:29] I feel like the lack of gpu accel is affecting the performance of a 1080p I'm streaming on youtube. [17:29] ronnie: in hardware drivers, does it show a driver to install? [17:29] no [17:29] ronnie: or I should say to activate [17:29] no [17:29] Sacarlson: Says no prop. drivers are in use [17:30] how do i put songs on my ipod touch with rythmbox [17:30] Falcz: I guess your stuck with try the backport then [17:30] paddy_: not sure, but Banshee is useually recommended for this kind of stuff [17:30] ronnie: open a terminal [17:30] ok [17:31] Sacarlson: Sorry, im pretty new to linux. how do i go avout that? [17:31] its open [17:31] Sacarlson: *about [17:31] ronnie: run lspci and pastebin the output, and I know there is at least one other command that will say what graphics card you got, but can't think of it right now [17:31] ronnie: or do you have maybe Intel graphics? [17:31] ronnie: any idea? [17:31] im trying to get my labteb webcam working, gound a guide but terminal outputs this: Linker version: GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20.1-system.20100303 [17:31] Kernel compiler: gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) [17:31] [!] Kernel compiler and gcc seem to be different versions. [17:31] Instead, they should be the same. If you have many compilers [17:31] installed, you can specify the correct one with command (in bash) [17:31] guitar-maniac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Thanks for the help [17:32] its intel [17:33] bitreader: well, the official Adobe version has no GPU hardware video acceleration. Gnash supports it though, but they are a little buggy. i would simply download the video with youtube-dl and play it on my VDPAU accelerated mplayer [17:33] ronnie: ok [17:33] ronnie: thats why you don't have any propritary driver availalbe in hardware drivers [17:33] ronnie: is that a question about Falcz? yes [17:33] trying to get my labteb webcam working. found a guide and got stuck at this point, pasted it at the pastebin [17:33] ronnie: however I thought Intel graphics cards in Ubuntu will have 3D support by default now [17:33] i was upgrading from karmic->lucid by changing apt/sources.list on a headless, now I'm getting dependency errors: http://paste.debian.net/87966/ [17:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/488823/ [17:34] everything 3d crashes [17:34] ronnie: maybe you installed Google Earth wrong, and other 3D apps will work, such as compiz, and OpenGL games from the repo [17:34] guitar-maniac: if you run: lsusb you can see the identifier and get guides, The model is pretty useless, you need the chip inside [17:34] !intel [17:34] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [17:34] ronnie: your on 10.04? [17:34] magnetron, Ok thanks for the tip. [17:34] yes [17:35] ActionParsnip: when i have figured out the identifier, i just google it and follow instructions? [17:35] ronnie: ok I don't know enough about Intel cards, to be able to help with your issue, but there is bound to be someone else, who does [17:35] ronnie: maybe BluesKaj [17:35] Hi! What do you use to scan and recognise a document? I heard about Sane. But I need something wich is as Finereader [17:35] Is it possible to bind a keyboard and a mouse to a single software window so that only that software will bw controlled by that mouse and keyboard and rest of Ubuntu by default keyboard and mosue? [17:36] ronnie: I had the same prob. I just upgraded to 10.10 and i no longer have any crashes [17:36] ronnie, exactly which intel graphics card , model # pls [17:36] guitar-maniac: if you want to use google, sure [17:36] what do i use to find it again [17:36] Is it also possible to output a single software window at an external display while the default display will show the ordinary Ubuntu Desktop screen? [17:37] besogon: sane is the graphic part of the scanner. you might see if that works first. then you need a caracter recognition system (exuse my spelling) [17:37] i'm trying to use keepassx and can't get autotype to work - my keyboard gets messed up when i use my keyboard shortcut [17:37] realubot: seems like you want to run two X servers on one computer. it's possible to do that [17:37] ronnie: lspci | grep VGA [17:37] realubot: I think NO. You can make multi seat. And run secial X on other screen. But not only one program. [17:38] how do i install an older version of libc6?

[17:50] ActionParsnip, yeah, as is my old ati x200m , used to do 3d and and dir on jaunty , no longer the case ...the drivers suck [17:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/488828/ is pixart the id im looking for (labtec webcam? now i just search the id number for guides? [17:50] it also* [17:50] martez89: I know those can be fixed but most the time I ignore the key errors. I don't think it breaks anything it's just a security risk. [17:50] It doesn't appear on network manager to disconnect [17:50] so what do i need to do [17:50] jrib: okay, now that the upgrade failed what do i do [17:50] rooks: i did not get [17:50] Hi, can anyone provide me with a link with instructions to install nvidia accelerated drivesr? the latest ones [17:51] but It has an icon on computer :D [17:51] could it be some package upgrade issue. as for as i can remember i clicked ok on the automatic updater.. [17:51] so I can use right mouse to select it [17:51] sacarlson: I fixed two other errors like this, so I was wondering why this fix didn't work [17:51] van7hu: i dont see how. unles sit also has some flash storage. [17:51] jperla: it will probably take us longer to debug than for you to reinstall tbh, but we can try if you want to [17:52] besogon: I've read some articles about multiseat but I thought I could somehow avoid all this just doing some smart thing to bind a special keyboard/mouse to a single window and then output that window (or workspace) to a external monitor while using the rest of Ubuntu as normal. [17:52] jrib: reinstall tbh? [17:52] then it gave error saying not all packages could be upgraded. i was busy so i did not pay much attention.. [17:52] martez89: maybe the server is down? maybe it has a mirror site. [17:52] jperla: to be honest [17:52] anyone can help please? [17:52] Is there any way to disconnect internet [17:52] ? [17:52] van7hu: 'poff' [17:52] before I safety remove it [17:52] topikuning: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [17:52] Stopping by to announce a new developer resource site. http://codefui.com. I use Ubuntu heavily in my development environment and will be adding quite bit of Ubuntu related content. Please feel free to peruse [17:53] sacarlson: how do I check that? [17:53] bitreader, look in your hardware , look for the nvidia recommended driver and choose it [17:53] i have trouble rebooting with ASUS K40IN, [17:53] van7hu: wow disconect? most people are trying to make it work. you can go to networkmanager and disable it on your top panel [17:53] halt, just normal [17:53] saivnoba, microsoft might put a curse on your hardware to be only ms-compatible, tho lappys usually dont fall into that category, so i dunno [17:53] sacarlson: its about the http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release [17:53] realubot: Its very specific thing.Do you think somebody had worked on it? [17:54] had anyone had a bug where the mouse acts as if the alt key is depressed, ie when you left click on a window it moves it and when you middle click is startes resizing it? [17:54] it doesnt happen with the keyboard [17:54] rooks: how do we check if a particular package upgrade caused the problem? [17:54] thank ilovefairuz [17:54] rooks i dont think that category really exists [17:54] I will try [17:54] hope it work ! [17:54] rooks: i'm just going through /var but not sure what to look [17:55] stopping by to announce a new developer resource site. http://codefui.com. I use Ubuntu heavily in my development environment and will be adding quite bit of Ubuntu related content. Please feel free to peruse [17:55] u did it allready [17:55] martez89: you can go to synaptic and setup>repositories>download from [17:55] geoffmcc, some mp3 players are wma-only and work only with microsoft proprietary protocol over usb, like no normal hdd [17:56] Wait... am I really seeing a "You need to restart the computer to activate this driver" in Linux? [17:56] guys how can i format my flash as an ext3 filesystem ? [17:56] rooks: wow, never came across anything like that [17:56] bitreader: yes, you don't really have to but that's the simplest way for it to happen [17:56] saivnoba, sorry, i dont have a clue what it might be [17:57] martez89: oh then they give you instructions on the ppa site but I'm not sure those have mirrors. you might just have to wait till the server start working again in a day or two. [17:57] bitreader, yes, it needs to remove the old driver , reboot is fine [17:57] Mba7eth, use mkfs.ext3 [17:57] rooks: no prob. will check on the forums.. :) [17:57] hey guys how do i register my web page on 4.2.2.2/~user on dydns or any free domain name registration site [17:57] besogon: I don't know. I don't think it that specific to output MythTV or XBMC to an external display while still using the computer at it's default display as normal. the I have to bind another keyboard to MythTV. Is that really that strange? :S [17:57] dpac_, thanks :) [17:57] ugh, i fubared my install [17:57] hellboy316: you have the ip address 4.2.2.2? === napterk is now known as napterk_ [17:58] no thats a dns server ip ... i used it as an example [17:58] i was wondering the same [17:58] * silent_breeze says hello all [17:58] ActionParsnips, you said something about xconf [17:58] sacarlson: I don't think the server is the problem, because I fixed two of those errors from the same ppa without problems, only for this one it doesnt find the gpgkey [17:58] hellboy316: anyway, you need to visit dyndns' site and register there. There are plenty of update clients in the repositories (like ddclient for example) [17:58] sacarlson: will adding the ppa again maybe solve the problem? [17:58] my college server lets me upload my page but it doesnt have a domain name [17:59] so every time i access it i have to type in ip/~user [17:59] martez89: did you fix those keys today? time is an important factor. [17:59] hellboy316, get a domain name and use an a-record [17:59] hellboy316: you need to have your college give you a page then. or, go buy a domain name [17:59] um [17:59] hellboy- yea just use dyn.dns [17:59] you can use co.cc [17:59] www.co.cc [17:59] hellboy316, do you have always the same ip to type? or does the ip change? [17:59] there we go [17:59] geoffmcc, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol#Drawbacks [17:59] sacarlson: about ten minutes ago [17:59] anyone know if adium has a plugin to alert you when a keyword is typed? [17:59] martez89: I'm not sure [17:59] but it wont let me register as a ip/~user ... its the same ip [18:00] hellboy316: use just "ip" then access your site as domainname/~user [18:00] hellboy316, go to www.co.cc [18:00] and use the a-record to point to your ip [18:00] rdns wont be set up but w/ [18:00] rdns wont be set up but w/e [18:00] what terminal command would reset the mouse settings on a user basis? === napterk_ is now known as napterk2 [18:00] oh yaa but the user string is long like tu1f0304001 .. this big [18:00] hellboy316, edit /etc/hosts and add your site :) choose a fake name like 1.2.3.4 site.mycollege.tld college [18:00] geoffmcc, oh, they did a lib to solve those, yay :) [18:00] is it really the case that tightvnc cannot join an existing xsession? [18:00] realubot: So only thing I could advise to you is to run 2 X server on ubuntu with different mause and keyboards. I did it but with one single keyboard and mause. Then write a script wich run the second X server and application you need [18:01] i registered on co.cc and dy.dns [18:01] hellboy316, ok, now create an a-record [18:01] how do i get a xorg.conf file? [18:01] rooks, i never knew there was problem - always thought was myth [18:01] martez89: that ppa stuf is in flux they guy that wrote may not even know how to setup keys. it's done by people like you and me. === napterk2 is now known as napterk [18:01] ronnie: Xorg -configure [18:01] IIRC [18:01] sorry disconected, last time [18:01] geoffmcc, few years ago when i was looking for mp3 player it was some problem [18:01] a-record ?? i am on url-forwarding thats not working [18:02] i have trouble rebooting my machine on ASUS k4oin, but halt normal. [18:02] ronnie: What do you need an xorg.conf for? [18:02] martez89: ppa is try at your own risk. [18:02] hellboy316, for host, leave blank [18:02] ttl leave at 1d, default [18:02] sacarlson: I now used this: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv KEY and now it imported a gpg key [18:02] action parsnips said it might help my 3d graphics [18:02] type == a === frankbro__ is now known as frankbro [18:02] where's fluxbox startup file? [18:03] sacarlson: thanks for your help :) [18:03] disappared [18:03] and value == ip address [18:03] hellboy, your at school and your running a server. you want a free domain name right? if u signed up for one and not redirecting to webserver problem may be in httpd.conf - define new url [18:03] martez89: see just a server problem they don't always work [18:03] hellboy316, if you are still confused, opena query with me [18:03] rek: try the #fluxbox channel and fluxbox wiki [18:03] besogon: ok, I'll look into it. Thanks for helping me out! [18:03] how do i open a query with you ..i am new to irc also sorry [18:03] sacarlson: I will try another server when I get this problem again in the future [18:04] soreau, actionparsnips said i might need one to better define display options because i have an intel chip [18:04] martez89: I don't think that's an option on ppa. but maybe they do. [18:04] ronnie, http://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/ubuntu/ubuntu-9-10/xorg-conf-file-create-on-ubuntu-9-10/ [18:05] i cant register the ip alone .. but i want to the register the whole thing 4.2.2.2/~tu1f0304001 as www.something.co.cc [18:05] *can [18:05] hellboy316, in the sidebar on the left, click on sailerboy [18:05] so ive got pidgin installed ... and im getting these notification that i simply dont want... are these from pidgin or is this something that is ubuntu native? [18:05] hello... [18:05] thank you blueskaj [18:05] sacarlson: I think it was a problem with the authentication @ software sources [18:05] ronnie: The only reason you might want one is to setup dual screens or something but you can also use xrandr to change your modes in real time too [18:05] hellboy - your not registering the ip - just the something.com [18:06] sacarlson: Launchpad VLC is now added [18:06] well i need something so my 3d programs will stop crashing my computer [18:06] please can someone help me. My mouse is functioning as if the Alt key where depresses continously. This doesnt sound like such a big problem but I cant left click anything as it starts using the Compiz shortcut key for moving the window. [18:06] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everyone ! [18:07] mouseprobs: press the alt key once, see if it fixes it...? [18:07] I have. Still doesnt work. [18:07] i dont know no one knows how to sync music [18:07] i have had keyboards that i thought i broke but it turned out cause my bad habbit of eating at pc some crums got down in there [18:08] evilphoenix have u tried poppin off key and seeing if dirty down there [18:08] mouseprobs: Is this a consistent problem or it's only happening now? Have you tried restarting compiz or just t=disabling it to test? [18:08] I tried cleaning the keyboard [18:08] geoffmcc: i'm not the one with the issue... ping mouseprobs [18:08] this only happens in the main admin account [18:08] EvilPhoenix - yea you were line up, my bad [18:08] elitexray: jackd is suposed to do that sync music but I can't get it to work lately. [18:08] so I think the hardware is okay [18:08] mouseprobs: that's not just compiz, that's a default without compiz too. also, I advise that you create your own name, rather than calling yourself mouseprobs. also, you may try just restarting the session [18:09] mouseprobs: here's a test, prest Ctrl-F2, and see if it goes to a text console [18:09] soreau: I just tried 'compiz --replace', nothing [18:09] Sacarlson: so then theres no other software that can sync? [18:10] I will try disable [18:10] Hi, I have trouble getting Dolby Digital and DTS to work over spdif on 10.04. Anyone out there that might be able to help? [18:10] so no one would help me... ? [18:10] I'm looked into amarok and also rhytmbox ... And I can't seem to figure out its functionality for ipod. [18:10] IanWizard: It's Alt+Ctrl+F2 [18:10] elitexray: there are composing software that might do what you want like rosegarden [18:10] can i have multiple background [18:10] i mean different background in each desktop [18:10] So Rosegarden [18:11] OSC: so if it works by pressing Ctrl+F2 then we know that the comp "thinks" that alt is being pressed globably, just rules some things out. [18:11] description of rosegarden does not sound like any typical ipod sync. lol [18:11] okay I have identified it is compiz. I will investigate wiping the settings. Thanks [18:12] IanWizard: Ok. [18:12] IanWizard: yes it does [18:12] elitexray: there are a few more but I think rosegarden is one of the better ones. ardour is another [18:12] can i have multiple background === crunch2_ is now known as crunch22 === crunch22 is now known as crunch [18:12] FlooBot: can i have different background in each desktop [18:13] mouseprobs: look for a .compiz file or folder in your home directory. if you find it, delete it and you should be good [18:13] Is the screen display and monitor software the same in Ubuntu as it is in Kubuntu? I am wondering how to both vertically AND horizontally offset the second monitor. Currently It will only let me do one OR the other. ie. left OR top etc.. [18:13] sanoop_: google it, sorry but seriously just try [18:13] ok [18:13] sanoop_: its not really a technical problem so not many people can help [18:13] elitexray: oh ipod. that is not music sync as I know it that's more data sync that rythmbox is top dog but can also be done with others. [18:14] aeon-ltd: check out lmgtfy.com [18:14] So I'm confused. So rythmbox is able to sync? [18:14] IanWizard: is there a factoid shrortcut for that? [18:14] guys i have problem when booting ubuntu after grub im getting only command prompt no graphic save mode and cant boot it says no screens found how to sort it out [18:14] tried fix vesa doesnt work [18:14] elitexray: well it is most like itunes like it's clone [18:15] aeon-ltd: ?? a "factoid shortcut"? it stands for let me google that for you. it can come in handy sometimes [18:15] IanWizard: yeah i know [18:15] IanWizard: I deleted the mentioned folder and then switched back to compiz I still get the same problem [18:15] !g lmgtfy | IanWizard [18:15] IanWizard: balls. it works in #archlinux [18:16] !google lmgtfy | IanWizard [18:16] So you've sucessfully had your ipod synced? [18:16] mouseprobs: you'll have to restart compiz first [18:16] @sacarlson [18:16] elitexray: sync I guess you mean add and remove music from your ipod yes it can. [18:16] Excuse me, I have some problems with GIMP. I tried to save a .jpg image and this error pops up: "Unable to run plug-in "file-jpeg" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpg). Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory). [18:16] !lmgtfy | aeon-ltd IanWizard [18:16] aeon-ltd IanWizard: 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. [18:16] hello when trying boot ubuntu im getting message no screens found how to sort it out ??? [18:16] Pici: i'm looking for a custom query factoid [18:16] aeon-ltd: We have none. [18:17] I successfully saved it as .xcf though. And the only thing that I change to gimp were: I added some brushes and set the cache tile thing to 350 (lower than what it was previously set). [18:17] Pici: ubottu should really get one developed, just for usefulness [18:17] hi all quick one, how do i compress a folder as an iso on lucid [18:17] IanWizard: does 'compiz --replace' not restart it? [18:17] elitexray: no I had a friend that has an ipod that I setup for and it has worked but I also crashed his ipod to a point that required reset to factory defaults that lost all his play lists that he failed to backup. [18:18] Is it generally acceptable to ask Kubuntu questions in this channel? [18:18] @sacarlson, that's reassuring lol [18:18] So the success rate is low [18:18] thanks a lot guys i just registered the ip to a domain name .. now its working fine [18:18] elitexray: I I had one I could tell you and that was over 1.5 years ago. they might have fixed it by now. [18:19] karmic-koala: i don't know one, but why? [18:19] well, it seems that they have an ipod sync plugin for rythmbox now.. but I'm not too sure to take the risk [18:20] elitexray: just backup your stuff before you play [18:20] you can do that? [18:20] nevermind, turns out, I just need to set the tile cache to a higher amount. >_> [18:20] aeon-ltd, i have vista's setup on usb drive, i need to run a windows app, vmware will only install from from iso [18:20] karmic-koala: ok [18:20] hi [18:20] how do I bomb X? The Alt+ctrl+backspace does seem to be working [18:20] aeon-ltd, hence the need to compress a folder to iso so vmware can install vista [18:20] mouseprobs: Is right click the only thing affected by Alt? Did you check gnome keybindings? Did you check if someone unchecked 'Alt' for ccsm>Alt+Right Click? (install sexy python package and go to ccsm>prefs then click on the keyboard icon in the Filter box and type a key binding; it will tell you if it's bound to any plugin) [18:20] elitexray: use windows first backup all your stuff then work on seeing if ubuntu works [18:20] hey one question can i alias the ip/~user the user part to something shorter by defining a variable on my server [18:20] guys i have problem when booting ubuntu after grub im getting only command prompt no graphic save mode and cant boot it says no screens found how to sort it out [18:20] Yeah thats the problem. I am no longer able to access windows [18:20] karmic mkisofs [18:21] Ubuntu is the only OS that I can possibly use right now. My laptop will not reformat to xp. [18:21] soreau: no I middle click it starts resizing the window [18:21] elitexray: run windows in a virtualbox and backup you stuf first. [18:21] mouseprobs: Did you check ccsm>Resize bindings? [18:21] karmic-koala mkisofs -o /tmp/cd.iso /tmp/directory/ [18:22] could please someone help me ? no screens found how to sort this out i cant boot ubuntu [18:22] soreau: Ill check now [18:22] try to run in vesa mode [18:22] tracy === Zeike is now known as brandonj [18:23] could please someone help me ? no screens found how to sort this out i cant boot ubuntu [18:23] geoffmcc, thanks for that :) [18:23] tracy69: new install or upgrade?

[18:32] my server gives me a page which can be accessed with "server_ip/~username" i registered server ip as a domain name but the username is too long i want to know if i can alias it to a shorter name by defining some variable [18:32] hellboy316: I guess what you want is to symlink a dir to your website from your home account. try man ln for details [18:33] hellboy316: do you have control over the server? [18:33] no [18:33] college server [18:33] how do I install a .deb file in cli ? [18:33] gryllida: dpkg or gdebi but you really should be using apt... [18:33] hey [18:33] thats problem - your site runs on vhost- you have to tell vhost to watch for traffic coming into new domain u created [18:33] i am using gentoo may be you know that [18:33] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [18:34] how can i fix that [18:34] hellyeah: #gentoo for gentoo help [18:34] <^mNotIntelligent> gryllida, i would suggest trying teamviewer with wine... I've tried the same on karmic it worked pretty well...

I did a desktop install, but I am running headless and don't need the X stuff at all. [18:34] hellyeah: doesn't mattery [18:34] hellyeah: we do not offer support for gentoo wireless [18:34] -y [18:34] may be here someone knows noone answer to this question [18:34] hellyeah: ask in the correct channel please [18:34] MrUrbanity: maybe you want the server version [18:34] jrib: apt doesn't see a 'teamviewer' package [18:34] hellboy316: there are many ways to do it not sure what method would be best for you but take a look a man ln see it that will work. you can also alias things in apach2.conf but not sure you need that. [18:35] but google give lots of ubuntu links [18:35] !server > MrUrbanity [18:35] MrUrbanity, please see my private message [18:35] MrUrbanity: I mean since it has no GUI [18:35] i look that and i join that channel because of that [18:35] hellyeah: try adding "gentoo" in your google search [18:35] gryllida: well, does team viewer offer an ubuntu repository? [18:35] yeah I didnt have the server disk handy to install.. i've looked and can't find a way to move between desktop and server instlal profiles. [18:35] <^mNotIntelligent> jrib, gryllida : i guess not [18:35] hi people/ bonjour à tous [18:36] <^mNotIntelligent> jrib, gryllida : installing through wine didn't work ? [18:36] how would making a link help i have a folder mywebsite in my home folder where i can put my page [18:36] <^mNotIntelligent> !hi ! Woodydarko [18:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:36] Woodydarko, bonjour ca va? [18:36] hellboy316: apache2 also has virtual server mode so you can be more than one dns name with only a single ip address. is that what your looking for?

[18:59] uRock: I thought I was replying to coldhak [18:59] coldhak, what do you mean, where a filesystem is? [19:00] jcdutton: it's address, such as /dev/sda === DoubleString is now known as ZNC_DoubleString [19:00] uRock: ok yeah no problem your welcome, have fun with OpenBox, you may want to try ou Fluxbox as well whist your at it, by the way [19:00] uRock: and maybe E17 even [19:00] How do you take a picture with your webcam from the commandline? [19:00] hei [19:01] toehio2: $> camera go clickyclick [19:01] :P [19:01] I cant see any chats [19:01] coldhak, /dev/sda is a device, not a filesystem. [19:01] toehio2: I wonder after you asked, if that is possible [19:01] coldhak, Are you looking for the contents of a usb stick or something? [19:01] i was wondering why would want too, lol [19:01] slyboots: haha, but no [19:01] is an interesting though [19:02] jcdutton: ok, how do I find out the name of the devices? I have both an internal drive, and external usb that aren't mounted. I need to know what they're named(/dev/sda, etc), to mount them [19:02] Is there any software to play AOE in Ubuntu?

[19:03] coldhak, the disks should all be present in /dev/disc [19:03] for some odd reason firefox picks up that the internal exists via the saveas prompt, but says I don't have authorization to access it(probably 'cause it isn't mounted, and isn't in fstab) [19:04] jcdutton: /dev/disc does not exist. [19:04] coldhak, what about /dev/disk [19:04] ah, that does exist [19:04] is anyone familiar withthe output of 'nmblookup -A ', I cannot find any documentation on it [19:05] lousygarua: thanks [19:05] gryllida, If teamviewer is a windows program, they ServerTech was right [19:06] p1oooop1: man nmblookup [19:06] jcdutton: this appears to work. never seen that before. thanks :) [19:06] p1und3r: : man nmblookup [19:06] coldhak, no problem [19:06] Hi all, I'm runnig 10.04 and have lost thumbnail preview for all video files any ideas?

[19:08] sreeraj: There are many but I would suggest Songbird [19:08] Hi, I'm playing quakelive, and it's running like a charm. I have full steady 125 fps, yet the rendering looks odd, it looks like I'm actually at 60 fps or something. I'm quite sure it's the frequency of the monitor, seems like it is too low, is there any way to check htis? [19:08] jcdutton: it's .. a server. I only have cli access. [19:08] nickserv [19:08] I want to start playing with setting up a server within a vbox, From the minimal installer do I just run apt-get install "ubuntu-server"?

[19:09] hey im trying to tether my windows mobile phone to ubuntu 10.04 [19:09] when i try to connect [19:09] jcdutton: "apt-get" works, so maybe yes [19:09] it does not show up.. what drivers tdo i have to install for RNDIS etc??? [19:09] gryllida, apt-get install aptitude [19:11] uRock think your gonna need a server iso [19:11] gryllida, I do not think teamviewer will help you [19:11] uRock: no [19:11] geoffmcc: he won't need a server iso [19:12] jcdutton: help with?

[19:13] cysioland: .package files are not supported in debian [19:13] gryllida, what do you want teamviewer for? The teamviewer web site says it is a remote access tool [19:13] anyone know how to connect it i have hte HTC touch pro 2 and it works fine on windows computers but im not sure how to set it up on ubuntu 10.04 [19:13] cysioland: or "debian" based systems, as they use dpkg as a package manager [19:13] Hey u people there? [19:14] gryllida, Do you have ssh access to the server ? [19:14] sreeraj: yes === sathia is now known as bala === bala is now known as shrinivasan [19:14] gryllida, just connect to it with "ssh -Y username@hostname" [19:14] I'm trying to replace a $form['title] field with an autocomplete; where to look for instructions? [19:15] How to use it? [19:15] Staff, please let me know (again), where to report or deal with a problem with 10.04, thanks. [19:15] gryllida, then run "xterm" and you have your remote gui working for the server. [19:15] How to use dpkg? [19:16] intrader, google for "ubuntu bugs" === shrinivasan is now known as sathia [19:16] jcbutton, thanks [19:17] hello, who knows how to mantains multi adsl in one box? [19:18] dpkg-deb: "Yenka_3.2.6.package" is not Debian package [19:18] ispot, depends what is on the other end of the adsl. If it is to a single destination, you can run load sharing protocols both ends, if you only control one end, you can only do limited load sharing [19:19] Hi, I want to try out ubuntu 10.04 due to the new ui and want to switch completely from Win 7 to Ubuntu, but I can't install it on a Vaio CW21SE, has someone in here done this sucessfully. My screen goes blank when I try to load into the live cd also when I try to load with live vga=771 [19:19] jcdutton: ok. but when I add -Y option to ssh command, it says 'connection timed out', though it does succeed in the usual way.

[19:22] p1und3r: not before seeing the question [19:22] ok i have ubuntu 10.04 server installed. i want to do tethering with my windows mobile device.. the tethering works fine on windows computers.. buyt when i plug it into the ubuntu computer and click internet shharing... it does not connect. (i also dont get an IP address) what do i need to change? [19:22] gryllida: i have 2, first one is: do I even need a NETBIOS name to connect to a share with smbclient? [19:23] picard1400: why are you using a server for a desktop function (tethering) [19:23] i want a light install [19:23] so i did ubuntu server edition [19:23] jcdutton: hello there. I tried to add -Y option to ssh command, it says 'connection timed out', though it does succeed in the usual way. [19:23] ispot, you need to use special load balancing software so that it directs your traffic down the correct link [19:23] but i want to use my phone (tethering as internet) [19:23] picard1400: then use a desktop install and remove what you want [19:23] picard1400: server install is meant for server hardware [19:24] gryllida, It should not time out. What is the "usual way" ? [19:24] is there a package i can install for RNDIS [19:24] cause i have everything setup like i want.. i just need that RNDIS stuff or the "tetherin" packag? [19:24] picard1400: no [19:25] picard1400: again , I would strongly advise you to use a desktop install base, and remove what you don't want, or use the alternative CD installer to install a cut down base install [19:25] hm damn that sucks, I don't have an external monitor :/ [19:25] jcdutton, thank you. then which software [19:25] Bahr, There might be something else, but after two days of trying different things I gave up... :/ === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [19:26] ikonia i understand what ur sayin [19:27] but [19:27] i still just want to setup a tethering thign.. if possible [19:27] i mean [19:27] there should be a .deb somehwere or somethign [19:27] picard1400: why should there be a deb for windows software ? [19:27] I don't have my drive here but can Ubuntu r/w to HFS+ filesystems (Mac)? [19:27] picard1400: its "windows software" it's not open source, how can debian package it ? [19:28] ispot, Try reading this: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt [19:28] its not windows sfotware [19:28] all i need is the drivers for RNDIS [19:28] picard1400, whta is your problem? [19:28] or package [19:28] picard1400: are there linux drivers ? [19:28] what is RNDIS [19:29] Sia-- ok basically i want to use my windows mobile phone as my internet connection [19:29] it works fine in windows and its supposed to work fine in ubuntu 10.04.. [19:29] picard1400: note the phrase "windows mobile phone" [19:29] ispot, as you can see, it is quite complicated [19:29] picard1400, work fine in ubuntu to [19:29] right.. but its not working for me on my ubuntu 10.04 server install [19:30] i think its drivers or an app that only comes in desktop edition and i was wondering where i could talk to somone/ask someone to helpe me get it onto my sever install [19:30] picard1400 - try using this as a base to get going -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3588717 [19:30] picard1400: 1.) the server install won't have all the software needed as it's not got a desktop setup in by default 2.) is there a linux driver for your phone [19:30] i have already configed my server fully to what i need/.... i just need this last thing [19:30] picard1400, because you need some tool to done it, are you good in linux i mean CLI? [19:30] Is there a good app for playing a midi piano in linux? [19:30] Sia-- medium [19:30] not beginner not expert [19:31] picard1400: is there a linux driver for your phone [19:31] Chetic: timidity will be your base.

Have you encountered problems with launchpad? [19:32] picard1400: thanks, [19:32] jcdutton, "First, this will not work for a single computer with two modem connections...." [19:32] ikonia look at first line [19:32] -_-b [19:32] picard1400: you know that's not ubuntu forums ? [19:32] and there are plenty of articles that state that not just this one [19:32] No matter what player was, when I play an MP3 on it, the file plays the progress bar never moves. [19:32] Sia--: then I should file this issue in launchpad at least then :( [19:32] picard1400: the first line says nothing about ubuntu forums [19:33] no.. [19:33] im saying this is just one article [19:33] picard1400: have you compiled the svn version of rndis-lite [19:33] there are others on ubuntu [19:33] ... [19:33] i konia i ahve tried.. but that is for older versions of ubuntu [19:33] the file plays *but* the progress bar never budges. [19:33] the libraries are missing/ changed [19:33] picard1400: have you compiled and installed the drivers mentioned on that page? [19:33] picard1400, what is about you desktop is with GUI or not? [19:33] picard1400: no it's not - it's svn [19:34] ....... those drivers are for older versions of ubuntu [19:34] picard1400: they are svn [19:34] when i do "make" there are librarires missing out of date because they are made for earlier versions of ubuntu [19:34] How long can "dpkg --configure -a" take? It says rebuilding database for like 5 minutes or so. [19:34] How can i Enable my ATI graphics card in ubuntu? [19:34] MadRobot: what players have you tried. Do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed and w32codecs or w64codes installed from the medibuntu repo? [19:34] what is the user name n password for live cd for ubuntu 10.04 [19:34] ? [19:34] picard1400, the use apt-get build-dep PACKAGE7 [19:34] picard1400: ok, so what does that tell you [19:34] Sia-- what will that do? [19:34] obscurant1st, root [19:35] every so often I boot (ubuntu 10.04) and my windows have no frames. rebooting usually fixes it. [19:35] is this a known problem? [19:35] Sia--, and passwrd? [19:35] ispot, It does work, but it does not load balance evenly. For example if you try and download a file from a single web site, it will only use one link. If you try downloading two files from two different web sites, it will use both links [19:35] sreeraj: use the same hardware item of an installed system. Just restart x server once its installed [19:35] ! tell picard1400 about compiling [19:35] picard1400, please see my private message [19:35] jcdutton, Ah! [19:35] obscurant1st, nothing [19:35] Sia-- i have build essentials installed [19:35] ActionParsnip, thanks. However, w32codecs doesn't seem to have an installation candidate [19:35] obscurant1st: on the login screen log on as ubuntu with no pass then run: sudo gdm start [19:36] hello? [19:36] ActionParsnip, ok [19:36] Sia--, that didnt work [19:36] Sia--: root is disabled on livecd too [19:36] ActionParsnip, not true [19:36] hi, how do i set a software to start on boot, run as a regular user? i had some vague memory of using 'cron' for this but i was probably wrong [19:36] and sudo is not for GUI [19:36] MadRobot: you meed the medibuntu repo [19:36] just use sudo [19:36] gksu gdm is right [19:36] !medibuntu | MadRobot [19:36] MadRobot: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:36] picard1400: you very well may have to compile old lib versions for that package, and those may require more old packages, and....welcome to the OLD linux [19:36] ActionParsnip, oh. I see. [19:36] Sia--: gdm is a service so is non gui, so sudo is ok [19:37] How long can "dpkg --configure -a" take? It says rebuilding database for like 5 minutes or so. [19:37] picard1400: the way things used to be done years ago [19:37] ActionParsnip, heheh [19:37] BluesKaj, Thanks. [19:37] ... [19:37] ! tell ActionParsnip about gdm [19:37] Also, one more problem. How do I solve a BADSIG problem? [19:37] ActionParsnip, yeah that seems to wokr, but now i am back at login screen [19:37] gryllida: if you open another terminal and run: top ,it may give clues to if its working or not [19:38] the screen just blinks after i enter the login information [19:38] obscurant1st: ok do the same again but instead of starting gdm, run: passwd ,then set a password. Start gdm again and login with the account [19:38] Is there a good app for playing a midi piano in linux? [19:38] gryllida, or use 'ps aux | grep [19:38] and then again the login button comes [19:38] this is the top one [19:39] PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND [19:39] gryllida: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas.

[22:21] yep [22:22] ost2life: Is your gateway "192.168.2.1" ? [22:22] ost2life: Is your gateway "192.168.2.1" [22:22] that's the routers IP [22:22] Hmm, sorry [22:22] now i just log in with user pasword and i dont need keyring [22:22] how is that posible [22:22] jrib, any idea how do i unmount an already mounted device ?

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 :) [22:24] jrib, i just didnt know the command :D [22:24] my 5 in 1 machine model isn't in the list under canon [22:24] wait, lib80211 is being used by two (wl and 80211_crypt_tkip and wl) whilst wl is not being used by anything [22:24] could a different model's drivers possibly work? [22:24] !tab [22:24] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:25] yes jrib [22:25] my document root is /var/www [22:25] for apache [22:25] Victor_T: pastebin: ls -l /var/www/ (try to keep responses on a single line) [22:25] and my web page is fss1 jrib [22:25] so now what?

[22:27] jrib, the command it's not "unmount" but "eject" :)~ [22:28] Victor_T: ok, and what isn't working? [22:28] NitzchONot: ok [22:28] not in synaptic also [22:28] hmm [22:28] NitzchONot: it's "umount" not "unmount" in ubuntu by the way [22:29] hey I need some help with ubuntu 10.04 with broadcom 4312. My wired connected does not work, nor does my wireless even though it does see the wireless access points. I have tried fw-cutter, bcmkernal source, and even the broadcom.com linux driver you can create. lspci shows my wireless (bcm4312 rev01) and lsmod shows wl.ko being used by nothing while lib80211 being used by 80211_crypt_tkip... [22:29] ...and wl.ko [22:29] no, it's not working [22:29] jrib, Looks like :D Both do the same i guess :) (Almost) :) [22:29] Victor_T: *what* isn't working [22:29] !hibernate [22:29] saifallof: did you blacklist ssb and b43? [22:30] yes [22:30] that i can not follow the symlink in apache jrib [22:30] in /etc/rc.conf [22:30] Victor_T: you mean 127.0.0.1/fss1 does not work? [22:30] then it isnt properly depmodded or insmodded probably [22:31] yes [22:31] there is no etc/rc.conf [22:31] yes jrib [22:31] but i did put them in blacklist.conf [22:31] -> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [22:32] I followed this guide for the broadcom drivers (wl.ko creation) http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt [22:32] any idea if canon pixma m320 drivers will ever be available? [22:32] Victor_T: can www-data read /home/victor/buildouts/cynin313-source-snapshot/var/filestorage/fss1 [22:32] hi everyone [22:32] good question [22:32] jrib, [22:32] not sure if it matters but I do not have any other bcm programs/files isntalled [22:32] only the wl.ko driver [22:33] HELP! my webcams only works on VLC or MPlayer but not on Cheese or totem [22:33] Failed querying control 9963800 on device '/dev/video0'.

[22:36] erUSUL: thanks ;) [22:36] no problem [22:37] jrib, i thought that will be safer. Next time i'll know better, thanks for the tip! :) [22:37] Hopsa, erUSUL could my wifi woes be a problem with iptables? [22:37] Webcam works on skype [22:38] ost2life: well that's easy to test. flush all rules « sudo iptables -F » test [22:38] hello all [22:38] erUSUL: don't forget default actions on chains.. I don't think a flush changes those [22:39] where do the file you save in your /home on a ubuntu USB key (persistent) go? [22:39] Rev: casper [22:39] cause i installed some software on my USB key running Ubuntu, and at the next boot, it said : "cannot boot, /root is full" [22:39] Slart: ;( didn't know that [22:39] jrib, Hopsa, erUSUL: Right, I have to go now, thanks for your help and hopefully I'll get it sorted. Thanks [22:39] Rev: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028564 [22:40] histo, : there is no folder in casper. Are my files packed in some file? [22:40] hi! I have 10.04 and just done a loth of work with photos in nautilus. Not it takes 150MB of RAM even after reboot [22:40] ost2life: good luck [22:40] histo, thanks, im checking out that link [22:40] any idea how to get make it eat less ram [22:40] erUSUL: at least that's the way it was when I last checked.. but that was quite some time ago.. might have changed since then [22:40] what is the command to change the display in a linux console? i know theres a command for it but i forget [22:40] Rev: you can basically mount the casper rw file [22:40] I suspect I'll need it. If I can't get it sorted I'm thinking about just reinstalling [22:40] Rev: as a loop device [22:41] hi #ubuntu. Right now i have a 10.04 box where X appears to be frozen, at least most things in both top and bottom panels are frozen (white). top shows Xorg utilizing amost 100% cpu. "service gdm restart" doesn't work, even "service gdm stop" doesn't seem to work. When i issue a "service gdm status", it says "gdm stop/waiting" any ideas on how I can fix this? something I am missing here? [22:41] mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. [22:41] xzwerm you mean ctrl + alt + Fx [22:42] histo, i cnat find any casper-rw file. I only have a casper folder [22:42] yes i use ctrl alt f1 to get to the console and i was sure there was a command for changing the display [22:42] ProfessorBacon: Bad HD maybe ? [22:42] gsedej: if you do a lot of photo work.. if you haven't seen darktable for editing check it out.. outstanding program.. they have a ppa for ubuntu. http://darktable.sourceforge.net/ .. digikam is also very good for organization, tagging, uploading to numerous services etc. [22:42] hi. is there any way i could see a specific line with the "cat" command? something like cat file | grep line_number ? [22:42] histo, : wait, my mistake [22:42] Hopsa: what leads you to that assumption? [22:42] as far as i can tell the UI is frozen.. [22:42] i'm actually ssh'd into the box using irssi on said machine right now [22:43] zerr0x: not with cat. Try sed -n 'Lp' where L is the line number [22:43] xzwerm: define 'change display' [22:43] zerr0x: sed will do the trick [22:43] jrib, lemme see. thanks [22:43] histo: it worked, but i dont have the right to modify the files [22:43] ProfessorBacon: Connection timed out for a while ? [22:43] ljkklkl [22:43] Hopsa: connection from what to what? [22:43] ProfessorBacon: bad memory? [22:43] hi I have a Ubuntu live on USB. Does it make since to make an system Update when running live? [22:43] vcoolio text size color resolution brightness [22:43] Can anyone help me with some graphics compatibility questions? [22:43] great, thanks alot [22:44] ProfessorBacon: Your connection to the other computer timed out, lost connection for a short while. [22:44] histo, i can only see the files in the home folder, while i would want to free some space in /root to be able to boot on the key [22:44] Rev: cause you mounted it as root [22:44] jrib, out of curiousity, why the p ? [22:44] Izinucs: Thanks for advice, but I just did some copying and moveing in different folders [22:44] xzwerm: for resolution you can add vga=blah to grub depending on what resolution and how many colors [22:44] jjk9_: i suppse memory may be to blame, is this indicated by the fact that I can't kill X? [22:44] ProfessorBacon: Open a new session [22:44] zerr0x: 'print' [22:44] Hopsa: session isn't the issue here, i think there is a misunderstanding. [22:44] oh, okay. cheers [22:44] zerr0x: (sed does a lot more than just print a specific line) [22:44] Rev: I'm not sure how casper saves and where in that image it saves certain items. I just know it saves changes there. [22:45] ProfessorBacon: not sure but might have gone off into infinite loop somewhere [22:45] histo, right, i launched a nautilus as root : i can now explore /root in casper : any idea what i could delete to free up some space without harming the system? [22:45] hello, 10.04 64-bit, 10.10 64 bit all hang at boot after line that says "to disable cgroup memory, try..." 4GB DDR3 ECC memory, amd phenom x6 1055T, ASUS M4A785TD-V board (latest bios), 785G+710 chipset [22:45] Izinucs: Nautilus is kind of "best" for this work, it has costum site thumbs, you can make many windows and still se much [22:45] ProfessorBacon: I think you forgot to tall us that youre using X from a remote ssh session. === bobby is now known as bjb79 [22:45] if you scroll up you will find that i did. [22:46] gsedej: digikam ... [22:46] Can anyone help me with some graphics compatibility questions? [22:46] i'm attempting to restart x [22:46] from ssh [22:46] ProfessorBacon: good [22:46] is GRUB used on all linux system including ubuntu? [22:46] service gdm restart doesn't work, service gdm status still says "gdm stop/waiting" [22:46] default bios options, nothing extra connected (other than keyboard + mouse) [22:46] is the only option at this point to reboot? [22:47] xzwerm: most Desktop Linux in the past few years use Grub by default [22:47] including ubuntu? [22:47] xzwerm: Sure, other boot loaders are also used [22:47] is that the equivilant of lilo? [22:47] xzwerm: then more recently this changed to Grub 2 for most distros based on Debian such as Ubuntu, quite a few of the other distros still use the old version of Grub by default [22:47] xzwerm: for colors add something like this to ~/.bashrc (or /root/.bashrc for root console) http://paste.pocoo.org/show/258907/ [22:47] is there a channel for mac users of ubuntu ~~??~?~? [22:47] xzwerm: and lilo is an option in the installer of some distros, but hardly anyone uses lilo anymore [22:47] it hangs with a cursor blinking indefinitely at that point (waited one hour) [22:49] jani_: 10.10? [22:49] yes, 10.10 beta [22:49] jani_: What did it tell you to disable ? [22:49] i tried also 8.04 32-bit, also hangs [22:49] jani_: 10.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 [22:49] xzwerm: Grub 2 is more of a Debian and Ubuntu thing at the moment. [22:49] it said disable cgroup, i tried that way, but it still hung [22:49] pici, sure, but also happens with 10.04 [22:50] jani_: -noapic -noacpi could be worth a shot [22:50] hopsa, ok, will try that [22:51] what's the catch, though? i guess suspend and hibernate won't work, but what else? [22:51] Enter text here...hi [22:51] rosemarie: hi [22:51] May I get the link of the Super Grub ? [22:51] jani_: From your input its a bit hard to tell :) [22:52] I've got a perculiar problem. I can connect to wifi, but random apps work, and others dont. Chrome will connect, but Firefox wont. Pidgin will connect to freenode, but not to MSN, or GTalk. What on earth could be causing this? (No I haven't done anything with a proxy, or any other network tweaks.) [22:52] !efi [22:52] !wiki efi [22:52] :| [22:52] ok I is new to this so just gonna get straight to the point lol been learning how to hack on hack this site but taking longer than i thought lol. Just wondering if anyone knows how to hack a mobileme.com email account need to know if the husband cheetin on me lol. [22:52] hopsa, hard to get more details... all i know the cd image is correct and memtest86 doesn't find any problems (and the memory is ECC anyways) [22:53] May I get the link of the Super Grub ? Or Super Boot Loader ?????? [22:53] supergrub disk [22:53] ok google [22:53] on* [22:53] rosemarie: uhmm legally your not meant to brake into other peoples accounts, without permission [22:53] ok ty ... timewriter [22:53] I have a question [22:53] IanWizard, probably DNS issue [22:54] yer its all good he my husband lol [22:54] rosemarie, did he say you could crack into his email and check it? [22:54] rosemarie: even if they are your husband, this still applys, as far as I know [22:54] did he explicitly say it? [22:54] Who would help me get my bcm4312 working (wireless) on a fresh installation of ubuntu 10.04. [22:55] jani_: oh, stupid me. I was thinking it was an application (NM) screwing it up. thanks for suggesting the obvious ;) [22:55] rosemarie: please, we don't support that here but heres my suggestion 1. do you trust your husband? if yes don't bother if no confront him [22:55] Rose just guess the password reset questions if you really are his husband [22:55] saifallof: wife you meant to put [22:55] ok so i guess thats a no........ ok thanks any advise on hacking talk sites all legal of course cough cough? [22:55] rosemarie, what you are doing is illegal. [22:56] rosemarie, if you need to suspect him your relationship obviously has bigger problems [22:56] I am guessing it really is a guy based on the grammar and style of writing. Using this wife/husband excuse as a exploit of our human nature. [22:56] rosemarie: hacking has nothing to do with what you want, what you mean is cracking [22:56] rosemarie, there's no relationship anyways without trust [22:56] rosemarie: there are ways to change linux passwords without knowing the original [22:56] i said that too, iceroot. [22:56] Pici: ^ [22:57] rosemarie: i gotta say its easier to guess your husbands pw than to try to break into apple's server, find the correct db and extract the data you need [22:57] lol thats wat i,v been doin for the last 3 nights [22:57] rosemarie: oh, sorry, thought you were talking about a linux account. [22:58] Hi , I wanted to make one of my external hard bootable for ubuntu via ubuntu startup disk creator , but after I click on make , I saw an error and my partitions disappeared,How can I recover them ? [22:58] off [22:58] rosemarie: its most likely the same as his other passwords, sorry about stating the obvious [22:58] karname , undo changes [22:58] timewriter : there isn't undo button [22:59] damn [22:59] saifallof, i don't see how being married makes the situation any more understandable [22:59] do you have any data on that drive ? [22:59] rosemarie: learn what is the difference between http and https and learn to sniff network-traffic for http and you have what you want, if it is not https but its off-topic and has nothing to do with ubuntu [22:59] timewritter : it stopped in first step [22:59] greetings [22:59] Jani it is because you think it is for a good cause but maybe it is a guy wanting to hack another person just using a cover story for help [22:59] karname , so the hdd is empty ? just format it using gparted [22:59] timewriter : yes , and my data is very important for me [22:59] oh noes [23:00] Also rosie, just social engineer the password reset questions [23:00] boot a live cd and try to recover the data [23:00] saifallof, these are off topic here [23:00] timewriter: It is bookmarked now [23:01] BiggFREE_ :) [23:01] rosemarie, you need to use other methods than to spy on your husband. it's a road that leads nowhere, trust me, been there [23:01] jani_: they are gone [23:01] you managed to solve the issue ? [23:01] timewriter: Thanks :) [23:01] timewriter : which live cd ? [23:01] jani_ she's already gone [23:01] youre welcome [23:01] sebsebseb_, oops [23:01] * sebsebseb_ nearly called hte ops [23:01] karname , ubuntu live cd [23:01] just noticed afterwards === mike is now known as Guest66389 [23:01] is there any recover program in ubuntu live cd ? [23:01] jani_: I nearly called the ops, so they could take a look at what was going on [23:02] hey i have different login profilees.... dwm vs. gnome how do change the default [23:02] you may be able to access the partition , from the live cd , and recover your data [23:02] sebsebseb_: Channel OPeratorS? [23:02] aeon-ltd: yep [23:02] That wasnt a "she". [23:02] sebsebseb_, what could ops do anyways... ban or kick, what would that help? [23:02] jani_: yeah that, and say its offtopic and such [23:02] everybody, look at the way she was writing. the way she was talking, and you may pick up on some clues that she is probably not a woman. I imagine she... or should I say "she"... is some n00b trying to make themselves fit in, just to learn to breakin to mobilme [23:02] timewriter : with fdisk (in ubuntu) when I list partitions , there isn't any partition [23:03] that might be a bit of a problem [23:03] ab [23:03] plus the legality is a bit disturbing. Communications across state lines and all that. [23:03] everybody, think about it. it was hackthissite. i've been there, it's almost entirely trolls. [23:03] IanWizard: yeah probably doesn't take much to pretend to be female on IRC really [23:03] it was most likely a troll. [23:03] trololol [23:04] :) [23:04] sebsebseb_: "they" weren't talking like a woman, but more like a young male, or VERY young female. [23:04] i don't think we can judge rosemarie being woman or man at all, there are real people just like that [23:04] what makes the difference ? [23:04] man or woman on irc [23:05] hola [23:05] Hola como estas Black0x |Bienvenido| -No_One ScripT- [23:05] IanWizard: yeah the grammar kinda killed it, but it was a good con - adult noob needing help [23:05] might have just been someone not that technical, that thought they would ask a load of computer people for advice on what they wanted to do [23:05] aeon-ltd: yup. [23:05] i know a 31 years old woman who sure writes just like rosemarie did [23:06] A troll I don't think so, I think that probably was someones wife for real, but anyway people, we are off topic here [23:07] irc can be a very tricky maze :) [23:07] jani_: err to quote "cheetin on me"? really you know someone who is 31 and writes that bad? [23:07] timewriter : can you help me ? [23:07] aeon-ltd, yes :( [23:07] sebsebseb_: that's nothing new (offtopic) [23:07] karname , im not good with linux , i just solve my problems in my way [23:07] jani_: how unfortunate, IM-ing must suck [23:07] in case of lost data , i use getdataback on windows [23:08] plug the hdd you want to recover from as a secondary hdd [23:08] I'm new to IRC is there a decent guide anywhere? common commands etc...

[23:14] oberon: add the ip to the router (read the manuek from the router) or use dhcp [23:14] I mean that I did "ip addr add .. " twice [23:14] with both these ip addresses [23:14] , but I can only ping one [23:14] oberon: you could also set the router to forward all packets for one to the other.

I can ping it instead of the other [23:15] sebsebseb_: sry [23:15] why is it that when i play a video it shuts down after like 3mins? [23:15] oberon: ifconfig is showing eth0 and eth1 (or eth0:1)?

I read the documentation part for network configuration and used the commands to configure eth0 and add gateways and dns but still it doesn't work. Any hints you can give me?

[23:31] walterj89_: did you try checking the forums [23:31] do I need to activate eth0 after installation? because I can't ping anything on the network, with or without dhcp [23:32] or an alternive driver all together that works with 3m serial touchscreens... I've looked for hours [23:32] everything is out of date [23:32] Fiddich, If you have DHCP it work automatically.

I triple checked hostname (using ip) and login credentials. I know my remote server is working because I can boot windows from same machine and location with same ip and can connect no problem.

[23:32] edbian: no dhcp [23:32] aeon-ltd: if I can't solve this soon, I just want to get my appearance preferences and then just reinstall ubuntu; I've been into a lot of ubuntu trouble lately [23:32] Fiddich, What do you get if you ping something else on the network. Do you have a static ip? [23:32] gl3ny: did you see what I said? [23:32] latagore: ok, but "sudo apt-get install gnome" is correct [23:32] i tried those and still no head way, where can i get another player? [23:32] dont use xampp? [23:33] edbian: I get "Host unreachable" error and yes I have a static IP [23:33] gl3ny: yes... [23:33] why is that?

[23:35] Hello. [23:35] hi [23:36] Fiddich: why not use xampp? [23:36] hi all [23:36] When I want to change the Icons in gnome, it actually changes some of them, but the one shown in nautilus/thunar (for example the folder-icons) stay the same. [23:36] I have no clue how to fix that. [23:36] aeon-ltd: I'm at a loss; It says gnome has unmet dependecies; Depends: blahblah package but it is not going to be installed [23:36] morf_ , you installed a new icon theme ? [23:37] gl3ny: I am not even close to do that. It is about 10 minutes ago that I started a linux server for the first time [23:37] latagore: ok, just install them manually then [23:37] timewriter: yes [23:37] thats why [23:37] the icon theme you installed isnt complete [23:37] Hm? [23:37] No, it is. [23:37] morf_: it doesn't contain those icons [23:37] It contains folder-icons n that [23:38] aeon-ltd: I imagine this will be a pain; gnome must have a lot of dependencies [23:38] morf_: perhaps not in the correct size, are they scalable? [23:38] yes. [23:38] alright when I get to the "startCP" I just get a blank white screen and it says calibration failed [23:38] fiddich: well I tried installing lamp and i had permision issues accessing the site which is why i switched to xampp [23:38] morf_ , try awOken icon theme [23:38] you might like it [23:38] Ok, I have an ati R300 chipset Radeon 9550 and need 3d acceleration...have done extensive searching on the net and found something about a mesa r300_dri.so....do i use this one to configure my graphics card in Ubuntu, and if so how? [23:38] thats more or less when I get stuck === IanWizard1 is now known as IanWizard [23:38] hey guys, whats the best way of sharing files between say, my home computer and a McDonald's WIFI hotspot [23:38] It's a 16mb icon-theme, it contains everything [23:38] latagore: try installing gnome-desktop-environment instead [23:38] timewriter: ok, mom. [23:38] i'm about ready to go back to windows lol [23:39] assuming the calibration software runs at all.. i sometime have problems with the java for some reason [23:39] on3pk, You can't share files with a hotspot? [23:39] on3pk samba [23:39] edbian, I can't? :( [23:39] would a samba connection work between Windows & Ubuntu? [23:39] on3pk, A hotspot is a wireless router that gives people internet access without requiring encryption [23:40] hi, does somebody know how to use the leds and extra buttons on a notebook with lucid or just give me a hint where to start :) thx [23:40] on3pk if there is a local area network you may share files using samba [23:40] on3pk, Samba is file and printer sharing for window and linux. [23:40] <_< [23:40] timewriter: got any link, perhaps? [23:40] just a sec [23:41] bodwick: would that not be possible over an internet connection, just intranet?

I have the wireless card, I do an LSPCI and ubuntu clearly sees it but I can enable it using the "up" command.. anyone know what's going on? this is on ubuntu 10.04 [23:41] on3pk if you want to share files over internet you can use ssh or ftp [23:41] I just need 3d acceleration, and can't get it [23:41] ugh eww eww - I'm in windows for the first tiem in about three years, forgot how sucky it is - my ubuntu is broken, it wont boot, firefox crashed and I had to hard-reset and now it won't boot into linux [23:42] Fiddich: then we need the output from ifconfig [23:42] on3pk so if theres a lan -> samba, if not -> ssh or ftp [23:42] ok I write it down [23:42] just give me some minutes :D [23:42] jdawg, Check this out: http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check [23:42] Fiddich: i am at bed then but the others will help you [23:42] on3pk you want to share files with windows clients ? [23:43] Edbian: will do [23:43] kk thanks for your help [23:43] what about WebDAV [23:43] the loader menu comes up, picking ubuntu or ubuntu recovery says it can't mount /dev /proc /sys - is there a way I can mount the ubuntu partition from windows or run a rescue from windows to try to fix it? [23:43] bodwick, well, I want to share files between my netbook (ubuntu) and my laptop (windows 7) [23:43] on3pk: Dropbox! [23:43] nobody any ideas .. its a pity :( [23:44] on3pk Ubuntu One ;) [23:44] but my laptop might be at home, whereas my netbook might be at.. McDonald's or the library or whatever [23:44] Edbian: Compiz? I need that?\ [23:44] on3pk: Dropbox! [23:44] timewriter: Hmm... this one works...*g [23:45] morf_ :) [23:45] timewriter: thanks. [23:45] on3pk: ftp server [23:45] youre welcome [23:45] morf_ , you can do apt-cache search icon-theme [23:45] you can find nice icon themes that way [23:45] jdawg, compiz draws the special effects like wobbly windows and such. you need 3d acceleration to run compiz. The script checks to make sure you can get 3d accel with your current hardware and it makes helpful comments. [23:45] I am trying to sign Ubuntu code of conduct. I enter gpg --fingerprint the first time and it created directories and such, second time it doesn't do anything [23:45] why won't ld link the .obj files from nasm? [23:45] can the wubi installer do a rescue? [23:46] PeskyJ, will that allow me to update things immediately [23:46] Edbian: Thank ya! I hear ati and ubuntu don't get along, lol [23:46] aeon-ltd: You saved me a load of trouble [23:46] on3pk Dropbox is the same as Ubuntu One but not from ubuntu [23:46] on3pk: put things in directory on one computer, appears on the other one [23:46] latagore: it worked? [23:46] jdawg, ati and nvidia don't care much about oss because all they care about is money. [23:46] Ebian: i can do wobbly windows.....so that means i have 3d? [23:46] on3pk it's a cloud account - 2gb for free [23:48] aeon-ltd: Yep [23:48] jdawg, I believe so. yes [23:48] on3pk it automagically synchronizes files [23:48] does Ubuntu One do the same thing? [23:48] latagore: oh, good. :) glad i could help [23:48] Edbian: ok, then how do i change the 3d settings? i'm not getting the most crisp clear images [23:48] on3pk yup, but i don't know if there's a windows client, dropbox has a client for every major os [23:48] jdawg, I don't know. Did you check out the catalyst thing in the repos? [23:48] aeon-ltd: Uh, I do have a couple concerns; I'm kinda of worried what I did to my computer and hard drive so I want to take my preferences and reinstall Ubuntu [23:48] Ubuntu One has a client for windows, for $10/month [23:48] on3pk i use wicd not network manager so i have to use dropbox and i like it [23:48] Edbian,: will check [23:48] well, I'll give it a try [23:48] on3pk so you can try dropbox, it's pretty good [23:48] I use dropbox to sync between my mac, iPad, iPhone, ubuntu laptop, etc. [23:49] yeah, thats really what I want to do [23:49] shouldn't ubuntu 10.04 already have the capability to start my broadcom 4318 wireless network card? Especially since it sees it via LSPCI? [23:49] Hi guys, I've broken my vps I think, kinda.. whenever you SSH in it says Connection closed by [23:50] luckily I still have a session active, how can I figure out the issue? [23:50] on3pk hmm .. the only drawback is that you can share one folder .. i think [23:50] BlaDe^, use ssh -vvv and see whats happing [23:50] illmortal, No. Showing up in dmesg means the systems sees and recognizes the card. It does not say that it has found a driver. Do you have wireless networks show up in the panel applet? [23:50] awesome drop is great for the droid (btw) [23:50] bodwick, does... "/" and "C:\" count? [23:51] bodwick: in dropbox? you can share as many as you want, with different people, etc. You also have two "public" directories for general web-access (one for photos with a gallery interface and one for anything else) [23:51] that's another thing, the panel applet no longer exists, edbian. when it did... the wireless portion was blanked out as if it was disabled. [23:51] illmortal, right click the panel and add a new "notification area" that's where the network manager is hidden inside. [23:51] on3pk but you can't share for example ~/Dropbox and ~/Documents/Pictures [23:51] pure_hate: http://pastie.org/1140420 [23:52] hey, control alt Fn isn't working [23:52] on3pk: oh I see what you mean - not you can't share / or arbitrary directories - only any directory under your designated "dropbox" directory [23:52] illmortal, To make the hardware scan for access points type "sudo iwlist scan" in the terminal. [23:52] latagore: ok, all your preferences are in your home directory as dot(as in .foldername) folders if you want to keep the settings you can just copy those and put them in your new home directory before new ones are generated [23:53] really? [23:53] ah. thats a slight drawback [23:53] but I can learn to adapt! [23:53] on3pk: but what you can do is set up an encrypted directory (for example) then just mount into it from whatever path you want [23:53] aeon-ltd: Can I replace the preferences of my new login if I make a login of the same name?\ [23:53] does anybody know of a good ssh tutorial for green/GREEN ssh users? [23:53] edbian heh.. it refuse.. i click on "notification area", then click on "add" and nothing =\ i even expanded my panel in case it was really there. [23:54] edbian.. wait it is showing.. it's in black.. [23:54] almost hard to see. [23:54] latagore: you don't have to have the same name, just the old dotfolders of your currect system [23:54] *current [23:54] on3pk: or if you don't want/need encryption, just use symbolic links [23:54] illmortal, Well I have no idea why it's like that. Do the wireless networks show up? Is it greyed out? [23:54] anyone have any ideas what's going on here? I'm really worried :/ http://pastie.org/1140420 [23:55] no it's showing as if there's nothing in the notification area at all <_< - edbian [23:55] illmortal, What about the terminal command. Does that work? [23:55] which should I run? [23:55] anyway, so how can I rescue my ubuntu installation? it says it can't find the filesystem when I try to boot it - can I do it from this windows boot? [23:55] which command, edbian? [23:56] illmortal, "sudo iwlist scan" [23:56] BlaDe^, Looks like a issue on their end, its not returning the SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received string [23:56] wlan0 failed to read scan data: network is down [23:56] on3pk just made a little experiment and you can make a link of anything to Dropbox :) [23:56] edbian ^ [23:57] i'm logged into the server luckily [23:57] illmortal, what? [23:57] but I think I broke it earlier hwen I did a apt-get auto-remove [23:57] how can I check what the issue is? [23:57] edbian: (3:56:53 PM) illmortal: wlan0 failed to read scan data: network is down [23:57] aeon-ltd: Is there a particular way I should do it? [23:57] help me [23:57] how to change gdm theme on lucid [23:57] hi, guys! [23:57] hwo are you doing? [23:58] illmortal, Do you have a wired internet connection? [23:58] latagore: not that i know of, i would just copy them to usb, then check them once to make sure they're ok [23:58] howto mount a usb stick ? [23:58] BlaDe^, First thing I would do is ssh from another box to that vps. If that works you can rule out the vps [23:58] naw my other friend is having the issue [23:58] * phychole ask to all [23:58] edbian, unfortunately not on my desktop... i have this laptop though and can download then transfer file via usb stick [23:58] he told me that stuff was broken.. luckily i'm still logged in so can possibly fix it [23:58] How to change GDM theme [23:59] i was hoping i didn't have to use ndiswrapper nor fwcutter.. but if i have to use either, i will.
