[00:00] phychole: did you do it via System>Administration>Login Window? [00:00] illmortal, You have to use one or the other. fwcutter is preferred. It is easier. Thing is, you have to be connected to the internet then install the package. It downloads things from the internet. Took me a long time to learn that. I wish it was more clearly explained. [00:00] anyone here? [00:00] hemm I can see login window [00:00] illmortal have you checked b43? [00:00] sam898889, I'm here! [00:00] what mus i do [00:00] bodwick, howso?

[00:01] on3pk if you put a link to eg ~/Documents/Pics into ~/Dropbox it will share the Pics folder [00:01] illmortal, The package downloads stuff from the internet and copies into the proper directories. I don't know how to do that on one machine and then transfer the files. [00:01] imortal i may have missed prior convo, but have you checked the b43? [00:01] oh awesome [00:01] on3pk so you can share anything just by making symlinks to Dropbox default dir [00:01] phychole: local --> then add then add your theme, for further reference --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gdm-gnome-display-manager-theme-in-ubuntu.html [00:01] aeon-ltd has been kicked automaticly by -No_One ScripT- [00:01] illmortal, If you look at dmesg it gives a link [00:02] DontKnow17898: err say wut?

[00:55] still, the disc this .iso creates won't boot [00:55] i downloaded it 3 times [00:55] of seperate machines [00:55] I think I'm gonna use NTFS.. [00:55] bonez2046: then I would suspect media or burning speed [00:55] Should be fine? [00:55] for ubuntu? [00:55] bonez2046: how are you burning it? And you need to checksum the burnt cd [00:55] histo: I put it at 4x for the speed, the slowest.. [00:55] i had to reduce the burn [00:55] no sue the default the ubuntu uses [00:56] there a disk check tool on install [00:56] boywonder: you "burned as image" right? You didn't just make it a data cd with the .iso on it? [00:56] Satan911 i would expect you would run into problems installing ubuntu on ntfs === cesar_ is now known as Guest46881 [00:56] bonez2046: you need to perform a checksum on the burnt disk [00:56] i burnt the iso [00:56] bonez2046: I believe ubottu provided instructions for that.

[01:37] KittyBoots, try this -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/488996/ [01:38] Karth, for future 9installs, its very good to have at least 2 partitions, one for home and one for root [01:38] Karth, i know that does not solve your immediat problem, sorry [01:38] Verminator: I simply installed it like I do with windows, and I hasn't partitioned that since 03 [01:38] formatted* [01:38] Verminator, good trick though, resize the old install just a little and do a fresh install, then mount the old partition eg as /oldinstall, rename /home and make a link 'ls -s /oldinstall/home /home' [01:39] KittyBoots, you have to change the line 3 with your directory of mov files and make this script runnable [01:39] I keep getting the error - pplease make sure you edit your config file completely - when I try to run this script and I have edited it [01:39] cathoderay; how do I switch from *.MOV to *.MTS as input?

[01:40] KittyBoots, no. [01:40] KittyBoots, what directory you want to read?

[01:41] cathoderay; The directory always changes with new videos. [01:41] if i do sudo fdisk -l it does not show up [01:41] dont know if possible with ide drives but you can use a usb case for sata drives [01:41] zcat[1], r u saying this would be the way to fix Karth's current probl;em? [01:42] KittyBoots, ok, you want to be prompted for the source directory of mts files or the destiny directories of converted files? or both? [01:42] hellboy316, I'm using a IDE/SATA->USB converter [01:42] yeah I don't backup often, the only media I have to back up with is ZIP 100 disks and 3 1/4 discs [01:43] m0tan: I have seen external usb cases for sata ... i havent used it though [01:43] so its not that viable [01:43] hellboy316,oh ok [01:43] Karth, so do u have a lot of customizations and dta? [01:43] are you not able to install the drive in the case properly [01:43] its not my pc, thats the primary reason for not formatting [01:44] Karth, oh ok, that explains some...thinking [01:44] KittyBoots, if you want to be prompted, use the "read" command [01:44] KittyBoots, take a look at here -> http://www.linuxconfig.org/Bash_scripting_Tutorial [01:44] Karth, just for future ref, the ubuntu upgrader has a bad reputation [01:45] ok i got a question, if i want to boot from grub do i need a u3 usb disk? [01:45] Karth, uusally best to install from new iso disk [01:45] Verminator: I just really don't want to have to start over every new version [01:46] Karth, use the alternative cd and do an upgrade? [01:46] ls [01:46] Karth, oh I agree, its a pain, and I've only done it once, but most articles i read have bad experience w/ the upgrade [01:46] Karth, its why i stick w/ the LTS versions [01:46] I've had one or two upgrades go OK, but most go bad....

I am able to boot to the disc, it shows me at the bottom of the screen a keyboard and a man in a circle, but then the screen goes black with blinking underscore at top left and does nothing else. The DVD works fine on other computers. [01:47] still rather often, the pc I'm on now hasn't needed a reinstall of any sort for 6 years now [01:48] Karth, do u have any of the live CDs to use? [01:48] just a 9.1 live cd [01:48] Karth, you could give debian a shot, it has a much longer releace cycle and I think a smoother upgrade path.. [01:48] takes like 20 mins to boot in though due to low RAM [01:48] Hi - How do I run a file from the CD-Rom as administrator - When I try to run it - I get an error saying I need to run the file as administrator ? ? [01:49] Karth, sorry, but i think this one is over my head, very sorry. [01:49] mxe5, sudo [01:49] I see, I'm not too experienced with linux in general [01:49] sudo -s [01:49] thats root [01:49] sudo name-of-script.sh [01:49] mxe5, u could use a terminal, cd to the CDrom, and use sudo to run the command/file, etc [01:49] mxe5: sudo [01:49] or sudo -i / sudo -s to get a root shell and then run the script [01:50] so there's no way to correct it at this point? [01:50] or alt-F2 gksu nautilus to open a browser window running as root, then brose to the cd and run (doubleclick) the script.. [01:50] Verminator: I tried to get to the path of the CD rom but got an error. [01:50] Karth, I'm sure there is a way, but I dont know it. [01:51] Karth, sorry [01:51] mxe5, is the CD mounted? [01:52] Verminator: In terminal I typed < cd /media/cdrom0 > and get an error [01:52] mxe5, whats the error? [01:52] Verminator: well thanks anyhow, dissapointing though, while I'm here I do have a second issue which no visits here have been able to fix. My 9 pin Impact printer prints at 2 characters a minute on that system but 1 page a minute on xp [01:52] Verminator: Yes it is [01:52] timewriter: I took the new disc and stuck it in a macbook and it read right up, access all the files.. but on this machine, the dell desktop.. this disc is not visible.. i can't get it to read on this machine.. [01:52] Where should I report a bug that affects "Monitor Preferences" aka gnome-display-manager [01:53] bonez2046 , your cd/dvd-rom might be malfunctioning [01:53] Karth, many ways. You could use the live CD to resize your main partition without doing a full install, make a filesystem in the new partition, move everything but /home over, then fix up /etc/fstab and grub to match the new layout. I've done similar in the past.. === daddoo is now known as Guest89041 [01:53] Verminator: No such file or directory - is error I get. [01:53] Karth, ask the question in general, w/o addressing it to me, someone might no, I have little exp w/ printers, also try the forum #ubuntu-beginners [01:54] anyone know why a ps2 keyboard will not work with grub [01:54] ? [01:54] Karth, might be easier to use something like puppy or insert for your live CD, they'll have less overhead than ubuntu and still provide mostly the same tools [01:55] NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ!

[02:01] not even a ps2 keyboard works in grub to select an OS [02:01] usb keyboard ps2 keyboard nothing works [02:01] I am doing a minimal install and would like to know what package to install inorder to get my linksys wireless card for my laptop working, it works on a full install out of the box [02:02] and I added an option in /etc/default/grub for GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="ohci uhci" and now ubuntu wont load [02:02] what's the best filesystem for /home? [02:02] so grub is all the computer runs because no keyboard works [02:02] bahadunn, I have used both w/ no special effort [02:03] you would think ubuntu would work these kinds of bugs out [02:03] bahadunn, u should set up a default entry to be loaded after a set time to avoid any grub issues u might have [02:03] Verminator: that is the way it was [02:04] Verminator: but now the time limit does not count down since I added the preload modules [02:05] what package installs wifi drivers in the default install of ubuntu as of 10.04 [02:05] bahadunn, sorry man, i know some of these things are frustrating, u may need to use a live CD to get to the grub config files, or maybe try alt F2 to get to a command line interface. [02:05] anyhow what do you guys suggest as the best course of action considering its not my pc and some firefox saves passwords have been forgotten by the owner, it appears that the thing is just switching to a resolution higher than the old monitor can support [02:06] the defualt driversw wont work with broadcom!! [02:06] Verminator: I know but this computer is 2000 miles away [02:07] Verminator: it's my dad's so it's a little difficult to fix from here [02:07] Verminator: I have to get a computer friend to go visit him [02:07] the default install works, I am just doing a minimal install and need to know what is installed be default [02:07] Karth, u could try booting into safe/recovery mode and editing the xorg.conf file. [02:07] I might just tell him to use windows and forget ubuntu [02:07] I am getting sick and tired of all these weird little quirks I get out of ubuntu [02:07] makes me want to go back to debian [02:08] bahadunn, oh thats a bummer. [02:08] bahadunn, I too have been having issues w/ ubuntu, and am considering another distro, but would never return to windows [02:08] boywonder: I am trying to do a minimal install, the default install installs the proper driver, that is what I am looking for [02:09] Verminator: yeah but this is my dad [02:09] verminator well how does ubuntu load into safe mode? I tried esc while it was loading but it didn't do anything but print ^[ onto the screen [02:09] I have been using linux/freebsd for over 10 years now [02:09] joshritger, i dunno! [02:09] I aint going to switch to windows [02:09] ok [02:09] but my dad might have a lot less problems out of windows then ubuntu [02:09] Karth, it should be an option in a menu at bootup, if not there is a key combo which I dont know off the top of my head, will look on net for u [02:10] unfortuately that is the case [02:10] How can I remove text formatting from the clipboard (buffer whatever)? [02:10] Verminator well ty, there is no menu when it loads, just a blinking _ [02:10] bahadunn, what were u originally trying to do to grub, did u revcently uograde or something? [02:11] Karth, bahadunn, brb and will try to help if i can, have to leave for a few minutes [02:11] Verminator: my dad got windows to dual boot. So we backed up his home directory and installed windows and ubuntu in a dual boot [02:11] help [02:11] ubuntu keeps freezing [02:11] 10.04 lts [02:11] Verminator: but grub never let us switch in the menu [02:11] etherealite: install a clipboadr manager, try 'parcellite' or if you like indicators try then 'pastie' [02:11] the keyboard just freezes [02:11] it doesnt freeze when i run faisafe knome [02:11] no mouse and keyboard [02:11] both freeze [02:12] just setup dual monitors with seperate x sessions and now my mouse is stuck on the second monitor....how do i fix? [02:12] xangua ok [02:12] NoS|Solved, have you tried doing system testing? [02:13] etherealite, xangua: i've been using glipper for a while and it's worked great [02:14] which is the most configurable? [02:14] chelz [02:14] just setup dual monitors with seperate x sessions and now my mouse is stuck on the second monitor....how do i fix? [02:16] etherealite: install a few and check them out, see which you like best [02:17] <[Dead][Pixel]> Hi guys, I downloaded 10.04 onto a DVD at low burn speed and want to install on my PC. right now it has a blank hard drive. I am able to boot to the disc, it shows me at the bottom of the screen a keyboard and a man in a circle, but then the screen goes black with blinking underscore at top left and does nothing else. The DVD works fine on other computers. [02:18] how long do you wait [02:18] ? [02:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> 10 minutes [02:18] thats too long [02:18] chelz do i have to logout to get glipper working? [02:18] where is xorg.conf in 10.04 [02:18] burn onto cd [02:18] [Dead][Pixel]: you might have to use the alternate installer [02:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> i can press F2 before the black screen, and it gives me language/boot options but no matter what option it does the same thing [02:19] dlp211: you don't need one [02:19] i have dual monitors and need to edit it [02:19] <[Dead][Pixel]> chelz: I am just wondering if this could be hardware or ubuntu [02:19] etherealite: if you right click on a panel you can go "Add to Panel". should be in there as "clipboard manager" [02:19] [Dead][Pixel]: if you can boot the disc on another computer you can select "verify integrity" [02:19] dlp211: then just make one with whatever you need. xorg.conf is no longer needed, but you can make one to override the defaults [02:20] ok so when i setup dual monitors and nvidia created an xorg.conf file for me where did it save it so i can edit it and fix my mouse being stuck on the second monitor [02:21] dlp211: "man xorg.conf" [02:21] dlp211: should be the standard spot, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:22] also sudo updatedb && locate xorg.conf === __cool__ is now known as ^james_foo^ [02:22] thanks [02:28] <[Dead][Pixel]> how to set live cd options to boot with "safe graphics" mode? [02:28] <[Dead][Pixel]> my graphics card is geforce 7800gt and it is proprietary drivers [02:30] Hi All, does anyone know how to *prevent* Pidgin from showing what music is currently playing in RhythmBox? TIA! [02:31] gfi: disable the plugin in rhythmbox [02:32] Thanks xangua, The IM Status plugin in RhythmBox is disable.. .I still see the music : ( [02:32] Nobody needs help? Is everybody watching futurama like me? [02:33] how do I look up the chmod on files? [02:33] lov255, ls -l [02:33] Karth, bahadunn, this might be of help to u [02:33] So... I have this ubuntu, with a copy of apache. It works. I install "libapache2-mod-python". Suddenly, as soon as apache starts, it prints into error.log "child pid 19746 exit signal Segmentation fault" once a second [02:34] Also apache no longer works. I notice there are two different modules listed in aptitude, "libapache2-mod-python" (marked as "i") and "libapache2-mod-python2.6" (marked as "v") [02:34] What does the i/v thing? is one an alternate version of the other? [02:34] mcc, You have a segmentation fault which means some program is trying to write into ram which it is not allowed to and crashing. Either that or you have bad ram. [02:35] mcc, Try running an older version of one or the other (or both) [02:35] edbian: well, apache segmentation faults if i enable mod python, and stops segmentation faulting if i disable it. [02:35] mcc, Well it could be apache or python. [02:35] bahadunn, also check the grub wiki, keep in mind ubuntu uses the new grub2 [02:35] <[Dead][Pixel]> how can i boot from livecd in safe graphics mode with vesa drivers [02:35] mcc, or the module itself. (not really sure of the architecture there) === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [02:37] USB ports are all offline, lsusb hangs indefinaitly, cant kill lsusb, lsusb task is listed as uninteruptable, and waiting cjhannel = down, any suggestions how to fix this w/o a reboot? [02:37] Verminator, kill -9 lsusb [02:38] edbian, tried that and nothing, thx though [02:39] [Dead][Pixel]: hit ESC (or any button) at first screen (one with two icons). Hit F6. if xforcevesa is an option choose it. if not, hit ESC and add it to the grub line after "quiet splash" [02:40] #asm [02:40] edbian, I even tried w/ adding sudo and still a no go [02:41] Verminator, I don't think you can do anything besides reboot. [02:41] what is the channel for 10.10 support? [02:41] edbian, that stinks, any idea what caused this in the first place? [02:42] edbian, that stinks, any idea what caused this in the first place? [02:42] Verminator, No. Faulty hardware? I've never seen anything like that before. [02:42] hi all [02:44] ev1Lsh, Hi [02:44] Hi edbian [02:47] i ran aptitude safe-upgrade and all my problems magically disappeared [02:47] well [02:47] mcc, Well that works too :) [02:47] all my ubuntu-related problems, i mean [02:47] mcc, It probably upgraded to newer packages of apache or something [02:47] so there you are i guess [02:47] mcc, Let me know if you figure a command that will solve ALL of your problems. [02:48] i'll watch out for that [02:49] !espanol [02:49] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [02:49] <[Dead][Pixel]> thune3: yeah thanks bro i just figured that out after some searching, but that's exactly the solution [02:50] i installed gnome network manager and my ethernet network connection is working but i dont see any icon in my panel. how do you fix that? [02:52] hello [02:52] hi [02:52] pie_time, Do you have a notification area in your panel?? [02:52] yes [02:53] morning [02:55] Anybody remember the screen that said "automatically setup separate /usr...blah" on Ubuntu Server 10.04 installation? Can anyone tell me what says exactly? I can't find it because I don't remember it and now I don't see it. [02:57] I have the network manager applet installed, but its not showing up in my 'Add to Panel' menu!!! [02:57] pie_time, the network manager applet is part of "notification area" [02:57] ssax: you mean in the install? [02:57] pie_time, If the network bit isn't showing up then there is a bug. [02:58] edbian, [02:58] im trying to install gnome but am getting this: [02:58] gnome: [02:58] Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed [02:59] pie_time, try this: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [02:59] i already have ubuntu desktop i believe [02:59] pie_time, aptitude is better at resolving dependencies and ubuntu-desktop is the proper package. [02:59] pie_time, Then you have gnome as well. [02:59] pie_time, aptitude show ubuntu-desktop [03:00] can someone walk me through how to check my swap space and how to set it up to be ideal with my system. everything runs rather slow due to small memory and i am trying to improve speed if possible [03:00] edbian, wanna be my pal [03:00] pie_time, I'm your pal. [03:01] pie_time, why? :) [03:01] fission6, free -m (shows your current ram / swap usage) [03:01] fission6, How much ram do you have? [03:01] !swap | fission6 [03:01] fission6: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [03:02] edbian, http://dpaste.com/239338/ [03:02] ...not much [03:02] edbian, just looking for someone who knows a lot about ubuntu. but i'd probably end up being a nusance after a while [03:02] okay, here is a problem. [03:02] its strange but my swap space has always been 0 used [03:02] i have a .tgz here. i would like to extract it. [03:03] mcc: right click -> extract [03:03] fission6, 1 Gb of swap, 512Mb of swap? You might get slight improvement out of 2Gb instead of 1Gb of swap. But that's pretty much it. [03:03] unfortunately the .tgz itself is, roughly, the size of the available space left on the device. [03:03] <^james_foo^> fission6: i think the setup is fine. if you need more speed, get more ram [03:03] i can't [03:03] so the tgz is about 180 MB (would be 200 uncompressed), but there's only 96 MB left on the disk. [03:03] pie_time, I like Ubuntu. I'll be your bud. [03:03] well apparently i can only get another 1/2 gig [03:04] Is there some way to uncompress a tgz while at the same time deleting it? [03:04] pie_time, Any questions picking your brain right now? [03:04] fission6: do it, you'll notice the difference === Kyng|UF is now known as kyngdom [03:04] edbian, is there a way to really slim down my ubunut install [03:04] why does grub have trouble with ext usb hdd's?? [03:04] edbian, yeah i have a couple [03:04] fission6, It really isn't bad. It's probably your processor that is the bigger bottle-neck. Try a light weight DE like xfce or lxde [03:04] pie_time, Such as.... ? [03:05] edbian, can i pm you [03:05] pie_time, yep [03:05] how can i tell what DE i am using? i think i installed a light weight one but not sure which a few months ago [03:05] fission6, Umm, generally how it looks. [03:05] i have fluxboc i think [03:05] fluxbox [03:06] fission6, before you log in check the session of the DE you wanna start. [03:06] <[Dead][Pixel]> if im in ubuntu on the live cd how can i view files on that drive? [03:06] mcc: well you can uncompress in place with gunzip... not sure about untarring... [03:06] Question: how can I fix slow loading of Opera (probably due to ipV6 issue)? [03:06] let me see [03:06] robb: you might be using grub legacy with ext4, I'm not sure that's supported. you should be able to upgrade to grub2 that does support extX [03:06] i think its fluxbox, could that be right [03:07] hm.. i tried gunzip and also got a "no space left on device"... so it looks like it's not exactly doing it in-place. although in-place sounds hard [03:07] wouldn't the 10.04 installer use grub2? [03:07] mcc: why don't you just do it on another machine? [03:07] mcc: or put a usb stick in it or something [03:07] jrib, the exact thing i'm trying to do here is transfer from another machine, and i don't have physical access (it's a xen host) [03:07] anyway thanks [03:08] robb: if it's a fresh install it should. but when I installed 10.04 from having ubuntu 8.04 some how it kept grub legacy [03:08] mcc: I don't understand the issue. Why would transferring involve untarring at all? [03:08] Pls tll how to sync my iPhone with ubuntu [03:08] jrib: in order to transfer the files from machine a to machine b, i tgz'd them on machine a and then ftpd them over to machine b [03:08] yea i read about the upgrade path troubles, andputting grub 2 instead [03:09] mcc: so why don't you not do it that way :P Do you have ssh access? [03:09] i do [03:09] i've tried eeebuntu, ubuntu 10.04 desktop and netbook remix. via usb stick, network install. just get hgrub rescue prompt at reboot (if anything!) [03:10] can you scp entire directories or something? [03:10] frustrating, as all previous ubuntu experience have been quite positive [03:10] mcc: scp -r, yeah [03:10] mcc: though even if you couldn't for some reason you could achieve what you asked with a series of pipes [03:10] "pipes"? [03:11] | [03:11] mcc: just use "scp -r" though [03:11] I guess I don't get what that would mean when i'm moving data across a network [03:11] short of using ncat or something [03:11] anyway, scp -r [03:11] i will look at that thanks [03:11] robb: did you check the grub links? http://paste.ubuntu.com/489015/ [03:12] mcc: basically you'd have tar output to stdout, pipe to ssh then have tar read from stdin on the server [03:12] robb, It's likely that your hdd is partitioned in an odd way and it's tricking Ubuntu. All of those distros likely have identical installers [03:13] I'm tying to output part of a log from /var/log/ through php funtion shell_exec() but webserver user apparently doesn't have permission. [03:13] so can someone tell me if it is a bad idea to add webserver user to admin group? [03:13] Datz: yes, terrible idea [03:13] jrib: Yikes. Out of curiosity, what would I use to "read" ssh at the other end? This is something I've seen done with netcat but I didn't know you could do it with the ssh tools. [03:13] jrib: ok.. figures.. apache2 isn't secure :P But how to go about this then? [03:13] Datz, It would allow a potential hacker to make the webserver do something like "destroy the entire filesystem. [03:14] edbian: i let the installer wipe the hdd each time :) [03:14] edbian: ok. I see.. bad idea.. glad I didn't do it [03:14] i'll read that pastebin thing and try it out, looks similiar to what i tried earlier [03:14] robb, odd [03:14] Datz, yep [03:14] robb: from the sound of it you may have you bios set to boot something other than /dev/sda. if you do that you need to tell the install where you want the mbr to be. [03:14] edbian: did you see my original problem? [03:15] mcc: something like this should work I think: tar czvf - foo/ | ssh example.com 'tar xzvf -' [03:15] Datz, Yeah, make the file writeable for the server. [03:15] yea, the advanced button on step 8. i tried dev/sda and dev/sda1, same results [03:15] mcc: basically you can think of ssh letting you have the pipe go to another machine, but it would work the same as if you strung together two tar commands with no ssh involved [03:16] robb: what does your bios boot from? sdb1? sdc2? you should check it [03:16] i have options for usb, usb drive, network, etc [03:16] jrib: oh, that is interesting. thank you [03:16] sacarlson, That makes no sense. the bios boots from the motherboard (itself), the bios then tells some partition to boot. [03:16] mcc: but I would use scp [03:16] edbian: humm, just need it readable. I don't know if I can make fail2ban.log readable to www-data easily? [03:17] i've tried every combination of devices and order, always same grub failure [03:17] can anyone help me fix my login screen issue...i was playing with login screen on 9.04 and i messed up my login screen now i can't login [03:17] lol [03:18] humm.. probably need more info than that mobasher [03:18] edbian: that's correct it boot SOME partition that is controled by settings that can be changed at bios setup. [03:19] okay i think i turned on the xdmcp or something than i started getting no server are there for me to logon to..now i changed something in the gdm.conf and it tells me no servers were defined in the config file and xdmcp was disabled [03:19] think edbian is gone? [03:19] mobasher: if you could get rid of the "something"s, it would probably be easier to help [03:19] * Datz goes about another method [03:20] unfortunately i didn't make the backup of the gdm.conf otherwise i wouldn't have ended up in this issue [03:20] is there anyway i can reset the configuration file to a default one or something ? [03:20] can login as different user to a shell? [03:20] i hate it when that happens [03:20] robb: yes, use "su - USERNAME" [03:21] the gdm screen login not the shell [03:21] jrib: not me, for mobasher [03:22] how can i reinstall the gdm ...can someone guide me to that...is it apt-get install gdm or ?? [03:22] sudo apt-get remove gdm && sudo apt-get install gdm [03:22] mobasher: something like the following should do it... apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install PACKAGE_THAT_THE_FILE_BELONGS_TO (though I don't remember right now if you have to delete/move the file for it to restore it) [03:22] jrib>> thanks mate let me try that out.. [03:24] mobasher: I'm leaning towards: yes, you need to remove/rename the existing gdm.conf for it to work (or see « man dpkg » for a better option) [03:26] jrib>> i removed the gdm package and it was asking me to remove linux headers so i did [03:26] jrib>> now i'm unable to resinstall them back on [03:26] apt-get install gdm [03:26] what does it say mobasher [03:26] ? [03:26] could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com [03:26] so there is no internet for it to download the packge i guess [03:27] mobasher: I didn't say to remove any package [03:27] yep you have to have internet!! [03:27] you shud've reinstalled or done that --force-confmiss [03:28] i have the CD 9.04 can i resinstall from there ? [03:28] live cd [03:28] mobasher: no you need alternate, though you could have gotten the gdm.conf from there... [03:28] hwy whats the channal for ubuntu beta? [03:28] 10.10 [03:28] ?

[03:34] uRock: was that directed to me? [03:34] I used the ubuntu-desktop [03:34] does your brightness key work? [03:34] gotta hold the Fn key, but yea [03:35] up, down, and ext vga [03:35] How do I open a folder on the desktop as an administrator ? ? [03:35] I have never been able to get any of the specialized keys to work(though I have never tried), but ubuntu docs has a page for netbooks that may be helpful. [03:35] well, my Fn + *^ key doesn't work [03:35] is there anything in the ubuntu packages that will do something like track network usage on a machine over time? [03:36] mxe5: in a terminal enter gksu nautilus [03:36] mcc: local or remote machine ? [03:36] nor does the Fn + *v [03:36] uRock, does your brightness key work?

[03:36] mine worked from beginning [03:37] i have a monthly bandwidth cap and i would like to be able to easily check "how much up/down have i used this month?" [03:37] mcc, there is snort, wireshark, tcpdump and many other things, but they all require heavy reading to get them set up [03:37] mcc: run darkstat or nagios on the remote, acces as client [03:37] robb, did you download any special package? [03:37] wireshark sounds pretty heavyweight [03:37] no, just what the NBR installed [03:37] dasei:if you user fowarded x , could also use etherape or showtraf [03:37] one other thing-- there's this /proc/net/dev thing. what time period are the numbers in there over? since startup?

[03:40] this may still help with the Lenovo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [03:40] it's an ACPI error think I believe [03:40] lol [03:40] mobasher: just because of gdm missing, won't drop your network, how do you connect (the internal), by dhcp via a router ? [03:40] it is better when the clipboard reads my mind [03:40] heh!! [03:40] DasEi >> i'm using the ndiswrapper the card is not supported now no more interent [03:40] thank your clipboard, it didn't read your pw [03:41] uRock: Thanks much that should do it... Appreciate the helping hand... [03:41] DasEi >> anyway i can get them from the Livd CD [03:41] mobasher: ic, so we got to chroot in, but I'm no good at wireless, ok, your part then , so.. [03:42] mobasher: one hardrive only ?

[03:43] xangua, its still not working [03:43] mobasher: please nick me, so message gets highlighted, we need correct partitions to mount on live [03:43] DasEi>> sorry my bad [03:44] DasEi> yea i can get the live cd mounted [03:44] pie_time: was network-manager-gnome installed or did you have to¿ [03:44] xangua, it was already installed [03:44] mobasher: you're currently not speaking fromm the live-cd ? [03:45] pie_time: no idea [03:45] DasEi> no no i'm work laptop right now [03:46] mobasher: and the broken on is another machine ? [03:46] one* [03:46] DasEi> yea i'm at root on that machine cdrom is mounted now...i have acess to it [03:47] mobasher: I don't understand still.. you are on another hd (ubuntu) with the gdm-missing drive on the same laptop ? [03:47] Hi [03:47] Is there any way to force native games or applications to run in a window if they have no way to do so in the settings or configuration files of that game? [03:48] DasEi> okay no no..my desktop is broken...where gdm is missing...i'm on laptop getting help from you :) [03:48] DasEi> i got in the filesystem using the recovery mode and now i'm at root on that machine where i mounted the Live cd [03:49] mobasher: ah ok, so need to chroot in from live cd then, so your main problem is getting internet working now [03:49] so no need* [03:49] when using openbox some apps doesn't use the gtk+ theme is there a way to force the app to use it? [03:50] mobasher: no way for wired network ? [03:50] Like, for example in Windows I know you can do this: http://compsimgames.about.com/cs/firsttimehere/ht/gamewindowed.htm Is there an equivalent in Ubuntu? [03:50] DasEi> nope the wires are in the basement and i'm on the 3rd floor :( [03:50] DasEi> this ndiswrapper thing is killing me not sure how to get that to work with this [03:52] mobasher: as said, I'm no good at wireless, which chip is it ? or maybe a wire from lappi to desktop (patchcable is needed, unless gigabitnics or switch handy) ? [03:52] <[Dead][Pixel]> if i have a 2tb hard drive and boot to it using LIVE CD, and i put external hard drives on the computer to xfer files to the 2tb drive, how do i do that? I don't see a location anywhere with all my other files on the drive... where is it? [03:52] mobasher: I'm on 3rd floor and the router is in the basement! Just buy long cable wires. :) [03:52] Sorry, I missed the first guy. Anybody remember the screen that said "automatically setup separate /usr...blah" on Ubuntu Server 10.04 installation? Can anyone tell me what says exactly? I can't find it because I don't remember it and now I don't see it. [03:52] mobasher: And a switch for every floor. :) [03:52] DasEi> it's a maravell driver [03:52] [Dead][Pixel]: sudo fdisk -l shows external ? [03:53] red2kic>> righttttttttt...i should move everyone else from the house cuz the PC needs to work :) [03:53] mobasher: can't help there really, basics : [03:53] !wireless [03:53] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:54] I have just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a old pc. It has a Nvidia AGP geforce 5500 graphics card. I could only get it to run from the live cd with the nomodeset xforcevesa options. After installing the cursor would flash on a black screen. I edited the GRUB menu with nomodeset xforcevesa and now I can get to cli but I can't get into the x server. xinit brings up a small window that looks... [03:54] ...like a console but it is unresponsive. Any suggestions on how to get the X.org window(GUI) environment working? [03:54] DasEi> can't i move the packages from the livecd and use them somehow ? [03:54] mobasher: another solution is hang the deskbox to your lappi [03:55] mobasher: prbly, but I'm the wrong guy to ask [03:55] quick question - how would I generate a sine wave from the commandline using the gstreamer tools? Some of the examples in the gst-launch manpage aren't working for me, telling me: Error constructing pipeline: no such element 'sinesrc' === lov2555 is now known as lov25555 [03:55] For what it's worth, I can't seem to use the "spider" element for the same reason [03:56] DasEi> no worries bro..i think i'm gong to reinstall the stupid thing...what else can i do ..no much there is to do :) thanks for the info though...i should have just renamed the gdm.conf file to begin with instead of removing gdm [03:56] mobasher: might be easier to boot desk by live cd, chroot in and try network conectivity, then install === lov25555 is now known as lov2555 [03:56] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: no, it's not the issue, my internet 2tb drive is what i use to boot the live cd to, and there is data on that drive, how do i find it? [03:56] DasEi> naaa it's not going to work i know this old school pc....no worries i just have to reinstall weblogic on it again that's all. [03:57] DasEi> which i was trying to avoid as much as i can :) [03:57] [Dead][Pixel]: have you mounted your drives? [03:58] mobasher: so ask again with exact chipset/model of the wireless nic (hwinfo will show) and for someone enabling it from cmd-line [03:58] [Dead][Pixel]: if you go to Places > Computer you will probably see all your drives/partitions [03:58] DasEi> learning more and more everyday with this system...3rd month now..must have been my 9th install playing with different things :) [03:58] [Dead][Pixel]: you found your desired parti's in fdisk ? name ? [03:58] <[Dead][Pixel]> trakinas: i do not see it there, [03:59] DasEi> don't worry about it...gime like 10 mins it should be backup again i'll tell u chipset it doesn't work with ubuntu system..it's not supported..its wirelss card on p5ad2 asus board [03:59] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: no, how would i do that in terminal [03:59] [Dead][Pixel]: sudo fdisk -l [03:59] -l = lower L [04:00] What is the policy here for "bumping" up questions that haven't been responded to/answered yet? Should we just accept the fact that nobody knows it, or are we allowed to bring it back up only after a certain amount of time, etc? (And yes, maybe this is some sort of cheesy way to bring back up my question :P) [04:00] Habs:bring some patience, use forumsearch [04:00] !patience > Habs [04:00] Habs, please see my private message [04:00] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: i can't find it, it's a 2tb drive, it's the only internal one that i booted to the livecd from [04:01] [Dead][Pixel]: pastebin what fdisk -l shows [04:01] <[Dead][Pixel]> trakinas: i can't, the computer is next to me with no net [04:01] [Dead][Pixel]: did you boot live cd or did you use live cd to boot to a hd ? how many drives are connected ? [04:01] <[Dead][Pixel]> trakinas: but the drives it shows, are external drives no larger than 250gb [04:02] hey can anyone else verify if google repos are down? [04:02] I see. [04:02] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: i boot live cd, 4 drives connected, 2tb, 200gb, 200gb, 250gb [04:02] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: i can not find 2tb drive, it's set as main drive on bios [04:02] [Dead][Pixel]: so prbly fdisk -l shows a long list of partitons.. [04:03] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: yes but none with over 250gb [04:03] [Dead][Pixel]: try df -h and see what it outputs [04:03] [Dead][Pixel]: :) [04:04] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: it says it is sdb, but it also says "disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table [04:04] I am running Ubuntu Server 10.04 with desktop environments installed to server NX sessions. How can I remove 'Shutdown', 'Restart', 'Suspend', 'Hibernate' from the UI environments and command-line for all users? [04:05] [Dead][Pixel]: which fs shall it be ? what' s the os you're talking from now ? [04:05] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: im on my laptop using ubuntu [04:05] timotheus>> i believe that has to do with user groups permissions if i'm not wrong [04:05] can anyone explain how to get the music status's on xchat? [04:05] [Dead][Pixel]: is it ntfs? [04:06] <[Dead][Pixel]> trakinas: i have no idea, it was just an external, i put it in as master, it was factory formatted, but it has data on it [04:06] [Dead][Pixel]: I see. [04:06] [Dead][Pixel]: which filesystem shall sdb5 be ? [04:06] ah ^ [04:07] [Dead][Pixel]: prbly unformated then [04:07] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: yeah it doesn't say, it says there is no partition table, so no info is loaded other than the drive [04:07] [Dead][Pixel]: so will have to do that first [04:07] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: well if it was unformatted, how come i can hook it up to this laptop with ubuntu via USB (external) and it works [04:07] I have to go now. [04:07] cheers all! [04:07] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: i don't want to format, it has data on it :p [04:08] [Dead][Pixel]: so hang up again to laptop and check what's up with it [04:08] does anyone know how to get "now playing" option on xchat? [04:08] brandon420: it's a plugin [04:08] DasEi, can you be more specific? [04:09] brandon420: some web pages from 2008 and older say to remove shutdown permission from gdm.conf in /etc/ ; but that file does not exist with the new GDM. In fact, the new GDM configuration is not strait forward. [04:09] brandon420: sudo apt-get install pidgin*, then can choose it from pluginview (amongst many others) [04:09] for irc though? [04:09] * red2kic is now playing "Spamming the channels" [04:09] if i have an avi file that should be one but is actually two files can i just join them together with something like lxsplit? will that work to play the complete file? [04:09] and thanks timotheus,think you got the wrong person though. [04:10] wells [04:10] ill brb [04:10] opps [04:10] hey guys [04:10] hey [04:11] I've just hooked up 2 monitors with an ati/amd 5870 [04:11] can someone give me guidence on how i can get 1 monitor to equal one workspace? [04:11] so anyway joining avi file will that work or is there something else i have to do to ensure the whole file will be played [04:12] So, I'm in dire need of a new laptop [04:12] bsmith093: Why don't you play one file? Then play second file? Sometimes it is the simplest approach. :) [04:12] and for the first time in my life I have the money to get something nice [04:12] !dualhead | Starcraftmazter [04:12] Starcraftmazter: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [04:12] bsmith093: you want avimerge to join the files.... [04:12] k then i suppose thats fine [04:12] how long will it take [04:13] My job is a graphics reseacher and programmer at a university [04:13] [Dead][Pixel]: I'm sure you looked at it with gparted? seems what I read above you have a new 2tb disk with nothing of value on it just factory stuf. sounds like you should just partition and format it and copy your files to it. am I wrong? [04:13] So I really want my new laptop to support DirectX11, or more specifically, OpenGL4. In the past, I've been really loyal to nvidia, mostly because of their superior linux driver support [04:13] bsmith093: I googled. Example: mencoder -ovc lavc start.avi end.avi -o complete.avi [04:13] I have a 64-bit system. I only have 2GB of RAM though. Do I still get a speed boost for using the amd64 version, or does that only happen when you have more than 4GB of RAM? [04:14] ls -lrt [04:14] mikeru: You should get a boost [04:14] there isn't really a speed boost associated with 64-bit, that I know of [04:14] mikeru: better use 32bit with !pae kernel [04:14] red2kic: i found avi merge going to try that seems perfect [04:14] <[Dead][Pixel]> sacarlson: DasEi i just hooked it up to this laptop it says NTFS, and there is a partition table... [04:14] tensorpudding, AFAIK the speed boost is that you can access more than 4GB of RAM natively with no PAE mumbo jumbo [04:14] well if only 2gb !pae is not necesary [04:15] [Dead][Pixel]: which live cd you use ? older one ? [04:15] I'm trying to use Brassero to create an iso of a cd.. it wants to create a .toc .. how do I get it to create an .iso? [04:15] that's not really a speed boost [04:15] tensorpudding, I heard PAE is slower than native access [04:15] [Dead][Pixel]: or size of drive maybe not supported by other bios ? [04:15] [Dead][Pixel]: so did a friend give it to you with files you want to copy from it or do you want to put files on it? [04:15] tensorpudding, and 64-bit arithmetic stuff [04:15] probably true [04:15] tensorpudding: I don't know if the benchmarks bear it out, but a 64-bit cpu using 32-bit instructions, especially when most of the x86 packages are compiled for a 386 or 586 [04:15] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: live cd 10.04 [04:15] DasEi: is it not possible to do on gnome then? [04:15] DasEi> yipie back in action hehehe :) [04:15] <[Dead][Pixel]> sacarlson: bios recognizes drive [04:15] 64-bit addressing should actually increase ram usage I think [04:16] would theoretically be significantly slower than native 64-bit [04:16] tensorpudding, It does. [04:16] instructions [04:16] Starcraftmazter: it is [04:16] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: sacarlson the drive was external originally, perhaps it's the controller card? === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [04:16] hmm [04:16] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64_bit#Pros_and_cons [04:16] I'm on Hardy, trying to compile something, get message `This script requires a shell more modern than all the shells that I found on your system.

[04:16] gryllida: update your system¿ [04:17] gryllida: what shell is this === lov255 is now known as lov255u [04:17] Uh, anyway, what I wanted to ask was "Does ATIs linux support still suck? Anyone run OpenGL apps under ati drivers?" === lov2555 is now known as lov255 [04:17] it probably means that your version of bash or ash is so old that the shell scripts are incompatible [04:17] nvm.. I got it.. properties change to iso... doh! . you'd figure that would be the default for brassero [04:17] tensorpudding: define `what shell' question, I do not understand [04:17] [Dead][Pixel]: I don't think it's a controller problem. did you try auto mount it by going to Places>Computer and click on the device to auto mount it?

[04:18] gryllida: run update manager and upate to lucid [04:18] xangua: I have cli access only [04:18] upgrade* [04:18] no gui [04:18] gryllida: what shell is it trying to use to compile whatever it is you're installing [04:18] !update [04:18] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:18] ubottu has been kicked automaticly by -No_One ScripT- [04:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:18] [Dead][Pixel]: I don't think so, but look up the type in gpated, next to size could be a table problem [04:18] gryllida: Hardy has bash 3.X, which is a pretty modern shell. That installer has a problem. [04:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> sacarlson: i plug the drive externally into the computer and boot into ubuntu livecd and it shows up fine, so i don't know why it won't work internally [04:18] xangua: you mean ungrade to 10.04? [04:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: see aboe^ [04:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> above* [04:18] gryllida: yes [04:18] gryllida: I afree with prince_jammys. So what is it that you are trying to compile?

[04:19] gryllida: you should check the requirements of this software to see what it means [04:20] what kind of file...try sudo it [04:20] Datz: own it to you or least give write access [04:20] mikeru: Regarding the link you posted, it seems mostly talking about proprietary software, for which most of it is compiled in 386 mode so it won't get the benefit...but if you get 64-bit ubuntu, ALL of your code can use wider data paths, more registers, and the full x86_64 architecture, including sse3 and all that [04:20] hey [04:20] I have just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a old pc. It has a Nvidia AGP geforce 5500 graphics card. I could only get it to run from the live cd with the nomodeset xforcevesa options. After installing the cursor would flash on a black screen. I edited the GRUB menu with nomodeset xforcevesa and now I can get to cli but I can't get into the x server. xinit brings up a small window that looks... [04:20] ...like a console but it is unresponsive. Any suggestions on how to get the X.org window(GUI) environment working? [04:20] mobasher: I've actually tried that as well, with no success. [04:21] mikeru: Unless you have some compelling reason to get the 32-bit version (driver issue or proprietary software that's 32 only) then I strongly reccomend 64-bit [04:21] as DasEi said try to own and then and try it [04:21] gryllida: Upgrading is a last resort, IMO. Is it bopm-3.1.3.tar.gz, or a cvs version... [04:21] Steve132, but doesn't it use more memory? [04:21] spazzy: do a full upgrade now.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. when done sudo service gdm start [04:21] DasEi: I was just editing it recently [04:21] I created the file [04:21] maybe, but its probably miniscule [04:21] the memory usage will be in pointer variables [04:21] Loshki, lucid is LTS and should be much better supported [04:22] do-release-upgrade as root says File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py", line 92, in __init__ [04:22] t=thread.start_new_thread(self.download, ()) [04:22] try sudo vi [04:22] thread.error: can't start new thread [04:22] but most reasonably well-designed programs don't have huge blocks of memory that is only pointers [04:22] mobasher: humm, ok.. [04:22] Datz: sudo emacs, try again, no success ? ls -a someFile tells you more [04:22] gryllida: WEIRD. (and nextime use pastebin.ubuntu.com) [04:22] gryllida: it's extremely unlikely that that installer requires bash newer than hardy's. [04:22] guess I'll have to try [04:22] hrm [04:22] no matter what the error message says [04:22] Loshki, yes, 3.1.3 [04:22] mikeru: it should, but it isn't. It's not particularly better than 8.04, and sometimes worse.... [04:23] gryllida: let me try it on my hardy system... [04:23] DasEi, mobasher: while I was gone I noticed this in the terminal: [1]+ Stopped emacs contact.php [04:23] DasEi> new system is quite fast now :) now going to load the weblogic :) [04:23] wait, gryllida is on 8.04??? that's OLDDD [04:23] 8.04 is the previous LTS release [04:23] it's not *that* old. [04:23] so it's not that odd [04:24] mikeru: ya. and as I said, the upgraade cmd you gave me doesn't succeed. [04:24] you have a lock on the file of yourself...try ps -ef | grep emacs [04:24] gryllida: I don't know then :( [04:24] there should be instructions for upgrading from LTS to LTS [04:24] thanks mobasher [04:24] old to me. but whatever [04:24] : ) [04:24] gryllida: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Hardy [04:25] tensorpudding: there is , just call update-manager [04:25] mobasher: datz 12988 27037 0 21:31 pts/0 00:00:00 emacs contact.php [04:25] will the upgrade save my user files ? [04:25] mobasher: I should kill that process? [04:25] gryllida: yes [04:25] Datz> you can kill the process >>BUT that will leave all changes as is and kill it...maybe it may not save some of the work you ahve done [04:26] gryllida: upgrading is a huge sledgehammer for this small nut. You'll be months recovering from the upgrade. Just want you to know what you might be letting yourself in for. Have you tried these directions: http://wiki.swiftirc.net/index.php?title=Installing_and_Configuring_BOPM_on_Linux [04:26] ok, thanks mobasher [04:26] Datz> np good luck :) [04:26] Loshki: of course. ./configure gives the old shell error. [04:27] gryllida: I can't download bopm-3.1.3.tar.gz right now, site seems to be down :-( [04:27] gryllida: there is a bopm package in hardy by the way [04:28] gryllida: just a shot in the dark : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install build-essential && sudo apt-get -f missing ? [04:28] hey, my magic mouse stopped working in ubuntu :( [04:28] tensorpudding: well spotted...! [04:28] aptitude safe upgraade cmd says FATAL -> Failed to fork. [04:28] gryllida: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/bopm [04:28] :o [04:28] you don't need to upgrade [04:28] lol [04:28] ö [04:28] it's packaged [04:28] !info bopm [04:28] bopm (source: bopm): Blitzed Open Proxy Monitor. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.3-2 (lucid), package size 108 kB, installed size 292 kB [04:28] gryllida>> u're lucky it didn't replace that o with a u in fork there :) [04:28] it's only a minor version behind the one in lucid besides [04:29] mobasher: er I don't understaand last line [04:29] gryllida>> no worries :) just a stupid joke :) [04:30] gryllida: And anyway, don't upgrade just on a whim and just because someone in here tells you to. At the very least, you need a full backup before you attempt an upgrade... [04:30] DasEi> how long have u been in the linux world ? [04:30] mobasher: well I can't kill the process for some reason [04:31] Can anyone help me with a problem in 10.10? [04:31] mobasher: about 4 years, different shapes though, but's that's ot [04:31] I try kill pid, sudo kill pid.. top -p pid .. .still there [04:31] Datz>> do a kill -9 [04:31] Datz: what state is the process in [04:31] mobasher: thanks [04:32] tensorpudding: not sure.. but let me try the -9 option.. whatever that is [04:32] lol [04:32] mobasher: by that is ID number? [04:32] moin all [04:32] Datz: yes, PID. [04:33] paste the ps -ef | grep emacs [04:33] Datz> paste the ps -ef | grep emacs [04:33] don't kill -9 without care [04:33] I put on 10.10 beta....how to add sun jdk, jre, etc? seems to be different than 10.04 [04:33] i have a 10.04 install on a machine with very limited disk space. is there something obvious in the install that i can harmlessly delete to free up lots of space? i took off openoffice and the media player and stuff like that i could find. any ideas on slimming down? [04:33] !10.10 [04:33] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:33] -9 means send SIGKILL instead of SIGTERM; it's kinda sorta like Force Quit in Windows. [04:33] The 10.10 beta isnt installing for me. [04:33] houldn't there be 3? [04:33] doing the installer again... i see in disk utility there is only 2 partitions on the ext drive, [04:34] nsGrif: javatexan: please use #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 issues [04:34] DasEi> not bad...i have been in and out of the ubuntu world 3 years then kept going to windows back again...on the solaris system at work but you dont get to play with production environment too much :) [04:34] ok, the process doesn't appear, but I still can't edit the file with emacs. [04:34] lol [04:34] I love it [04:34] > worked ? [04:35] Datz: what a file is it ? just a project file ? a systemfile ? [04:35] Datz>> dude use vi ...more powerfull ;) [04:35] you can try using lsof to see if it is open somewhere [04:36] tell us the error message. [04:36] so, does anyone have any experience with ATI under linux? Does it still suck? Can you run OpenGL well? [04:36] there's probably a file that is created when emacs locks a file from being edited, and just killing emacs didn't remove that lockfile [04:36] mobasher: but the I have to learn vi [04:36] lol [04:36] possibly in /var/lock [04:36] DasEi: just a small unimportant php file [04:37] humm [04:37] vi is not to bad really just takes a little while to get use to [04:37] ATI works man..but i'm on 9.04...works great for me like a charm..will get a nvida card soon then try the latest version of ubuntu...but so far it's very stable :) [04:37] hmm, it seems that it would be in the same folder as the file you were editing [04:37] Steve132: if you need 3D from fglrx, support for some cards has been discontinued. The open source 'radeon' works pretty well, depending on your needs. [04:37] Datz: read the online help for emacs re: Interlocking. There's a lock file you probably need to delete.. [04:37] Steve132: for ubuntu, the newer ati's are better supported by the opensource-drivers, though still no fun in propitary drivers, so I prefer nvidia or others [04:37] so try doing ls -a in that directory [04:37] Loshki: I'll take a look [04:37] Datz>> hahahhaa..it's not that hard mate...if i can learn it anyone in this room can trust me :) just look for cheat sheet of vi on the net :) [04:38] prince_jammys: Yeah, I need the proprietary driver support, because I need OpenGL4 for my job [04:38] Steve132: check if your card is supported. [04:38] !ati [04:38] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:38] Datz: php is for acces, so consider to change it back afterwards : sudo chowm Datz some.php, change accordingly [04:38] Datz: php is for acces, so consider to change it back afterwards : sudo chown Datz some.php, change accordingly ^typo [04:38] Well, I haven't bought anything yet, I'm looking into a new system and I want to know if the price difference on the top-of-the line is worht it [04:39] Steve132>> it's funny some of the top of the line cards sometimes give u more headache than the 100 bucks card ..which works like a blaze lol..trust me [04:39] Look online for problems with fglrx and whatever card you're thinking of buying [04:39] Steve132: depends on what you want to do with it under ubuntu [04:39] An HD5870 looks awesome vs a GF480 for the price, but I need the high end GPU support and OpenGL4, [04:40] I want to run and compile GL4 applications [04:40] how are the opensource-drivers energy-wise? do they safe the same amount of energy as the proprietary ones ? (on notebooks) [04:40] mobasher: well.. I'll look into vi [04:40] DasEi: thanks, I'll try that [04:40] Datz >>> no worries anytime ;-) [04:41] so, its looking like I should stick with Nvidia despite the price because of the better proprietary driver support [04:41] Datz: emacs is more advanced, for starting up nano,vi or (x) gedit and kate are for startup [04:42] well, I've used emacs for awhile.. leaned to like it.. but worth looking into other editors [04:43] Datz: what is the problem? [04:43] Steve: sadly yes, desktop effects can be done with some ati's upper the 9200 series, but full 3 d support is still a problem, [04:43] Datz: did you do what i suggested? [04:44] Datz: listen to tensorp, too, case file is locked by another process [04:44] ''fuser /path/to/file'' [04:44] tensorpudding: sorry, sidetracked to no end :P looking now [04:44] or ''fuser -vki /path/to/file'' [04:44] Hey all .. SO i was just having trouble w my flash player .. and i got it fixed by changing the specified driver for chrome.. NOW i cant play .movs [04:45] anyone have any suggestions? [04:45] tensorpudding: I've deleted all buffer files or any other from that dir. Also, I've cp and removed old then renamed, still no luck [04:46] I bet you apache2 is locking the file. [04:46] no internet on a wireless desktop, no way to run cable either, only have CLI, any suggestions? [04:46] spazzy: suggestion for what? [04:46] @Datz might be late and irrelevant. have you seen vimtutor? [04:46] !wireless | spazzy [04:46] spazzy: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:47] datz: to get the internet working [04:47] ubottu: will read that ty [04:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:47] kezkankrayon: hehem thanks.. but I'm not looking to switch editors, but rather solve the current problem of a file being locked. ;) [04:47] np, spazzy, ubott.. is the channel ro-bot [04:47] Really quick, does Ubuntu 10 use Python 2.6? [04:47] Installed netbook on my eeepc900a earlier this week, I can't seem to get the home key to be mapped to home, it seems to be stuck as meta... [04:47] DasEi: lol [04:47] spazzy: oh.. see that link :) [04:48] ty [04:48] ijustam: yes [04:48] all i needed to know, thanks [04:49] Datz: what does ''fuser /path/to/file'' say?

[04:51] * Datz checks again [04:51] try #emacs [04:51] apparently I am only reading a buffer [04:51] ok [04:52] #emacs folks might know what to do.

It doesn't come with b43-fwcutter installed, though. [05:50] why do i need fwcutter? [05:50] The device manager allowed me to get the firmware.

[05:50] But I didn't have to do anything manually, it was all automatic. [05:50] i dont have wireless in ubuntu so i can't dl it [05:50] nocturnus: b43 is the driver. b43-fwcutter gets the firmware for your device. a lot (all?) of bcm43xx devices need non-free firmware to actually work.

[06:05] it's code [06:05] Thank you so much [06:05] and just with this channel, others doesn't make me something similar [06:06] yup [06:07] nocturnus: it depends on few packages, most on default installation [06:07] none can tell me why?

[06:34] Running Ubuntu 10.04 and wanting to try out Gnome 3 (Gnome-Shell?). Ive gathered that all that is required is a sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and then a gnome-shell-replace [06:34] but what if I want to go back to Gnome 2.3? [06:34] thanks doyle 4 quick response, i read it first before asking again :D [06:35] i want to change my home directory to another partition is that possible with reinstalling [06:35] Untouchab1e: I believe its: gnome-shell --replace [06:35] cyberjunk502: I'd just move the folder in root recovery console then symlink [06:36] zetheroo1: have a look at this, it may help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466184 [06:36] cyberjunk502: or you could copy the data then mount the partition as /home [06:36] i want to change my home mount point to another partition is that possible with reinstalling linux [06:36] ActionParsnip: thanks [06:36] Doyle: thanks, I found the command to enable the partner repository with java6 ;) [06:36] zetheroo1: cool [06:36] !server [06:36] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

Mounting only replaces the visible data [06:37] thune3, no luck there tried. the i915.modeset=1 [06:37] cyberjunk502: you'll need a new entry in /etc/fstab for it [06:37] DontKnow17898: Not cool to play around. [06:38] ldiamond: I believe there is a script in /etc/acpi called sleep that does the trick [06:38] cyberjunk502: little care... pay attention to move also the hidden directories of your home [06:38] !cookie [06:38] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [06:38] fishcooker: so you've gotten ubuntu to boot from usb, but it doesn't save your work to the key?

[06:40] is there any option [06:40] ActionParsnip: how to copy the content of home directory [06:41] I'm trying to start OpenVPN from terminal. I have the configuration file in /etc/openvpn and it automatically connects but I'm not able to establish any connections, whereas if I use the network-manager-openvpn GUI it connects no problem. Same certs / keys. [06:41] fishcooker: you need to boot to a different usb to install to another usb (or boot cd to install) if you transferred the iso then it uses a compressed file so changes don't stick [06:41] Doyle !? [06:41] Is there something more that the GUI does? [06:41] fishcooker: ah, so your installs dont stick... just asec [06:41] the GUI does everything [06:41] cyberjunk502: mount the destination as writable and copy the data over [06:42] there ya go. Thanks ActionParsnip ... I was just about to over-think it [06:42] I am trying to get the server see a scsi cdrom drive [06:42] ActionParsnip: Thanks [06:43] actionParsnip i don't get your point wold you plz explain to me again more slowly :D [06:43] * uRock is getting sleep... c-ya tomorrow peoples. [06:43] Hello, i need a generic help. I want link subdomain.mysite.com to an other server out of the server of mysite.com, on dns config, ill use NS or CNAME param? So that the same files from the main site are available in the subdomain. [06:43] hmm [06:44] Bam_Bam: look at the log file, you'll probably see something about it not being able to load a conf or crt (i think) file. [06:44] Bam_Bam: try running it with sudo... that's all the suggestion I can offer. Sorry [06:44] Anyone know where mozilla keeps desktop background images?** [06:44] fishcooker: the packages you run are in a big tar.gz file, as they are needed they are extracted and used. When you install stuff in the live environment it only applys to the ram drive. If you install to the usb instead of transferring the iso, it will act like a platter based drive and updates will stick [06:45] ok now maybe i have done this right [06:45] shawnboy: I believe its $HOME/Pictures but I haven't used firefox for years [06:46] i have a dell inspiron 2200 when i installed ubuntu i can't get my wireless drives to work [06:46] it doesn't see my network [06:46] ethernet works good [06:46] ActionParsnip: what do you use? [06:47] spyk3: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product [06:47] shawnboy: chromium daily and arora [06:47] ActionParsnip: darn. HOME/pictures isn't it. [06:47] spyk3: one line will identify the wireless [06:47] I am trying get an old dell poweredge up and running but it's not seeing a scsi cd-rom drive [06:47] shawnboy: if you get the filename of the image you could search $HOME for the filename [06:48] its an old scsi setup [06:48] doyle actionparsnip thanks again... is there any pointer to do your option?! [06:48] shadow420: does it show in the output of: sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive [06:48] im not sure i will have to reinstall ubuntu i just didnt know if there was an easy way or something first time linux user [06:48] ActionParsnip: that's part of my problem. I don't know the filename because I came across web pic and chose "make background" now I want to know image file. [06:49] spyk3: well, no. If it doesn't work now. A reinstall will put you in the same place [06:49] the server itself is not seeing the cd rom [06:49] shawnboy: could check your history for something that smells right [06:49] shawnboy: could also ask in the mozilla irc channel [06:49] its on my laptop and im on my desktop [06:50] i reinstalled windows when i couldnt get wireless to work with my laptop [06:50] spyk3: well its only a single line, you can read and type the chip name into websearches [06:50] spyk3: obv makesure the killswitch is set so the wireless chip is enabled [06:50] so basically when i get ubuntu back on do i type that sudo lshw etc into terminal? [06:51] complete newb at linux [06:51] fishcooker: just boot from CD/DVD, then install the OS to your usb key. Be careful not to select your hard drive [06:51] I think I found it by looking at HOME/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml [06:51] thune3, ahh that link is misleading.. its not modeset=1 its modeset=0 ;) [06:51] spyk3: yes and you'll see the chip. If wired works i'd advise you use a wired connection and get updated. The driver may simply be offered to you [06:52] shawnboy: sounds likely [06:52] ActionParsnip: I think it's in HOME/Firefox_wallpaper.png [06:52] ActionParsnip, how do i update [06:52] spyk3: use software centre etc [06:52] yeah, ActionParsnip that's where it is. [06:52] shawnboy: cool, get it opened and see :) [06:53] ActionParsnip: just a little nosing around is all it took. Thanks though for responding to my question. [06:53] No problems fellah [06:56] doyle thanks lucky there a 2 usb on my hand... ic ic your point rite now actionparsnip [06:57] beauty [06:57] I can't wait to replace this laptop. I'vebeen putting it off till one with usb3 comes out that I like... [06:57] USB3 keys here I come! [06:58] is there a quick way to get a list of all files on a system owned by a particular user? [06:58] about to run deluser --remove-all-files, want to mkae sure this isn't a mistake [06:59] is there a gui for vnc? [06:59] it's not "quick," but 'sudo find / -user foo' will do it [07:01] zetheroo1: a gui to do what? [07:01] I am looking for an alternative to Yuuguu and Teamviewer ... anyone know of anything? [07:01] okra: if 0 is the option that works for you, i think you may not have 8xx graphics. please check "lspci | grep VGA" [07:01] Dr_Willis: remote desktop access [07:01] zetheroo1: yes.. i know what vnc does.. what sort of gui are you really needing it for? you connect to an ip. and thats about it.. [07:01] Dr_Willis: afaik with VNC it's anything but simple [07:02] zetheroo1: i found it rather simple [07:02] :) [07:02] you run the vncserver in read only mode. and let others connect. [07:02] over the Internet however - it can be sluggish. [07:02] FreeNX can be much faster [07:02] but freenx is also a bit more complex to setup. [07:03] Dr_Willis: that is what I need it for ... accessing computers all over the place [07:03] For best preformance - see freenx or some of the nx variants. [07:03] zetheroo1: personally i just ssh in to the remote box's and run what apps i need [07:03] Dr_Willis: so there is nothing like Teamviewer that just basically "works out-of-the-box" ... [07:04] gnomes built in vncserver works out of the box.. but it has its own limitations. [07:04] ssh -X remotebox works :) [07:04] Dr_Willis: I mean mainly working out-of-the-box for the other person [07:04] not secure though Dr_Willis.. [07:04] Ive no idea what features TeamViewer has comparesd to other machines [07:05] Shareing a Desktop that has compiz running can also cause 'issues' i recall. [07:05] Dr_Willis: with Teamviewer you just install it and give the remote individual the pin ... he puts it in the program on his side and accesses your system ... no setup needed at either end [07:05] dr_willis zetherool visit nomachine.com [07:05] there is varian freenx there [07:05] Dr_Willis, a few X extensions cause issues with it tbh. [07:05] Teamviewer is also for Mac, Windows and Linux ... [07:05] Not just composite [07:05] zetheroo1: he enters the pin in what exactly? he has to install somthing to access the teamviewer box dont he [07:06] Dr_Willis: yes ... both sides install the app [07:06] Dr_Willis: if I want to access your system I get your pin and put it into my app ... [07:07] so its getting the actual connection info from some master server? via the pin? [07:07] Dr_Willis: yes ... I suppose it's all running through another server somewhere [07:07] Dr_Willis: Yuuguu is much like Skype ... but with "Screen Sharing" [07:08] Dr_Willis: and it also is for Mac, Windows and Linux [07:08] then why dont you use it? what did i miss. :) [07:08] Dr_Willis: the reason I use these apps is because the person I am helping does not have to be tech-savvy to use them .... [07:09] Dr_Willis: but at the same time I would rather use something free and open source if it were available [07:09] but I am prepared to be told there is nothing quite like it ;) [07:09] vnc and NX are more 'general' tools - is the reason they are not 2 clicks and they are done. [07:09] Dr_Willis: ok [07:10] vnc and nx can do what you want. but they will take more setup. because they have different design goals. [07:10] then can also do 100x more then what you want. :) [07:10] hey [07:10] Most apps have webuis so vnc often isn't needed :) [07:10] Hi suigeneris [07:11] is there a simple way to show codec info of a video file? [07:11] * suigeneris waves to ogunay [07:11] suigeneris: I believe mencoder can show that [07:11] suigeneris: ffpobe can give info also. [07:11] suigeneris: or right click on a video , properties and check the tabs [07:12] Dr_Willis: but why is it sluggish over the Internet? [07:12] gnome file manager can give a lot of info.. but im not sure if thats a default feature. or if extra packages are needed [07:12] Dr_Willis: I have heard that from several ppl [07:12] zetheroo1: vnc is a rather old protocall and shares the whole desktpp as a series of images (basically) [07:12] it was designed for lan ussage and quick connections. and not super complex desktops [07:13] lxde appears to be forcing the default panel to be stuck to the bottom of the screen. is this a bug, or a 'feature'? [07:13] any way to fix it? [07:13] coldhak: You may want to ask in #lubuntu [07:13] coldhak: it can be moved to the top (I believe) [07:13] indeed, but there's so few in there, i doubt my question would be answered. [07:14] coldhak: thers always the lxde homepage/docs - theres so few people in here that use Lxde it may not get answered in here. [07:14] ActionParsnip, it has the option in the panel config menu, but it glitches back to the bottom. [07:14] Dr_Willis: I take it the vnc protocol is gpl !? [07:14] Saw where Lubuntu is getting pushed back and is not going to be an 'official' variant in 10.10 either. [07:14] zetheroo1: yes - has been for years. befor nx or these other tools even existed [07:15] One reason for its quirks. It was sort of the first.. (sort of) and the others learned from its limitions [07:15] coldhak: right click panel -> panel settings -> geometry tab [07:15] yes. it glitches back to the bottom. [07:16] coldhak: the setting should be saved in your configs. Make sure you are the owner of you $HOME [07:16] Dr_Willis: are there other gpl protocols? nx? [07:16] hello ubuntu ppl [07:16] ...is it possible to not be the owner of $HOME? [07:16] coldhak: otherwise I would log a bug [07:16] how do I check this? [07:16] zetheroo1: FreeNX is the gpl variant of NX i belive. === DoubleString is now known as ZNC_DoubleString [07:17] coldhak: if you accidently run some apps as root.. you can mess up permissions in your users HOME - yes. [07:17] coldhak: it's called a mortgage [07:17] coldhak: you could have ran a gui app with sudo and garbaged the ownership, a few files may be affected and cause issues [07:17] any utilities to control the cooling of laptops? [07:17] Doyle: nice :) [07:17] Dr_Willis: NeatX is googles variant of freenx, also gpl and newer [07:17] the only gui app i've run with sudo is synaptic [07:18] zetheroo1: why are you using vnc? What do you do in the vnc session? [07:18] viki: yep. ive gotten the nx stuff working.. but itsa a little confuseing.. [07:18] coldhak: don't! [07:18] :) [07:18] but still, how do I check that? [07:18] ouch [07:18] coldhak: sudo is not to be used with gui apps. Use gksudo [07:18] btw im wondering if anyone could help me with bash logging issues [07:18] coldhak: ls -al /home/ and ls -al in your home dir to see ownership/permissions [07:19] coldhak: run: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME [07:19] ActionParsnip: I am not using it [07:19] zetheroo1: ok cool [07:19] ActionParsnip: I was looking to find an alternative to other tools I was using ... [07:19] viki> what's the issue ?? [07:19] !gksudo | coldhak [07:19] coldhak: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:19] Coz you break xauthority. [07:21] coldhak: if you are the owner of all of home and it still happens you should log a bug. The guys in #lubuntu may be able to help [07:21] ok, i'll ask them then [07:21] coldhak: and maybe even in #lxde [07:21] hello... i am having some odd problems... i am trying to install mysql-server and it keeps failing. i've purged and reinstalled several times now. i always get to a point where if i say service mysql start i get an error in daemon.log saying: "mysql pre-start process (29460) terminated with status 1" [07:21] or some pid [07:22] Although #lxde has 14 users in [07:22] looking on google I see many people with similar problems but none of their fixes worked for me. [07:22] is there any way to find some kind of log that explains where and why this "pre-start process" failed? [07:22] mcc: what version? [07:22] #lubuntu isn't much better. I may just go back to fluxbox. [07:23] I've had the issue with 5.1 [07:23] Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [07:23] and it's mysql 5.1, yes [07:23] do you think it would be easier if i used mysql 4? [07:23] coldhak: check the docs at the lxde homepage. it very well could be they got the panel locked to the bottom for some reason. [07:23] coldhak, Plain OpenBox is nice.. just stick your own panel in [07:23] it appears there are a really enormous number of ways that mysql "pre-start "script can fail [07:24] coldhak: the panel is handled by lxpanel program i recall. You could roll your own desktop and use fluxvbox and lxpanel. [07:24] tint2 works well with plan openbox [07:24] I use that for my freebsd configuration [07:24] or even bmpanel [07:24] mcc: does my.cnf exist for you? [07:25] ...hm. [07:25] actually, this time it doesn't. [07:25] mcc do a "locate my.cnf" in the terminal [07:25] ok, you need to put it in. It's easy... I'll give you a link [07:25] i've purged and reinstalled about four times now... every other time /etc/my.cnf made it in, this time it didn't [07:25] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/573318/+attachment/1394782/+files/my.cnf [07:26] * mcc nods... let me handle that and come back [07:26] that's the default my.cnf, save it in /etc/mysql/ [07:26] dougb_freebsd: do you know how to have multiple boxes in the tint2 panel for your desktops, like in crunchbang [07:26] i was at a point like a half hour ago though that i had that exact my.cnf file in place and it was failing for some other reason, though [07:26] I don't know what crunchbang is, but tint2 is highly configurable [07:26] mcc: try it again to be sure. We'll run down your issue [07:27] thanks. one minute [07:27] dougb_freebsd: a ubuntu spinoff that basically just has openbox [07:27] 9.04 anyway [07:27] or was it fluxbox.. or some XXXXXbox [07:27] Dr_Willis, OpenBox [07:27] ok, then why not just run crunchbang? :) [07:27] Openbox [07:27] Dr_Willis, Latest CrunchBang uses Debian. [07:27] fwiw. [07:27] by the way, just out of curiosity, how do you restart "apparmor"? [07:28] Oooooo, tint2 is beautiful... I love the stuff I hear about when I'm here [07:28] dougb_freebsd: its not supported here but you can make an equiv using ubuntu and get support here [07:28] Doyle, bmpanel aint shabby either. few nice themes on deviantArt you could tweak [07:28] dougb_freebsd: crunchbang is based on ubuntu, but uses openbox...I'm using arch though for more up-to-date softwrea [07:28] ikey: ahhh they moved to debian. Nice [07:28] ActionParsnip, Statler is Debian base. Last Ubuntu base was 9.04 [07:29] Doyle: I'm very fond of tint2, it's small but very featureful, and you can do very nifty things with it [07:29] ikey: gotcha. Lubuntu all the way here :) [07:29] * Dr_Willis looks back on all the linux variants... and the [07:29] graveyard of dead disrtos... [07:29] what is the flag to see the file permissions with ls? [07:29] Thanks ikey dougb_freebsd [07:29] retco: -L or was it -l [07:29] ls -l [07:29] ah thanks [07:30] L as in List.. [07:30] Doyle, np [07:30] if someone used mount --bind to mount the /proc dir, how can i locate the original source of the folder that is now bound to /proc? [07:30] retco: if you're ever in doubt and no one's around you cna use "man ls" which will bring up the manual [07:30] yeah i would've guessed v as in verbose [07:30] groken, check output of 'mount' by itself? [07:30] but that's unix for you [07:30] retco: verbose is for logging type messaghes.. [07:30] so -v makes no sence.. or for version [07:30] well I went over ls --help but I couldn't see it [07:30] Doyle: here is my rc file: http://dougbarton.us/tint2rc.txt [07:31] Dr_Willis, Its not the distro graveyard you should be looking at. Check out the newcomers :) [07:31] verbose is for any output to be more verbose [07:31] retco: alias la='ls -al' is a common alias [07:31] it makes more sense than "list" if you ask me :P [07:31] list, as in "full listing" [07:31] dougb_freebsd: saved. That's going to save me a lot of time. Can't wait to play with it [07:31] but yeah I see your point retco. list list. [07:32] hmm, everything readable. DAMN why can't it open the files. [07:32] Doyle: for the transparency to work you need something like hsetroot in order to get a background, or if you're really adventurous something like xcompmgr [07:32] K i had figure out how to get the grub menu showing with a background with just one linux OS install, now I had search over and over, and came up empty handed, How do I change the ubuntu with the 5 dots from the start and shut down screen [07:33] sinman, that'd mean changing the plymouth theme. [07:33] which I have no clue about :) [07:33] * ikey finds plymouth to be an instable technology in its infancy [07:33] ikey : k, then I'll do a search about plymouth themes then [07:34] kk [07:34] doyle: ok... somewhat to my alarm, this time when i replaced my.cnf in /etc/mysql and ran sudo service mysql start, service just hangs [07:34] Plymouth really should have a trivially easy way to disable it.. :) [07:34] Yeah but Plymouth is too deeply rooted into Ubuntu.. [07:34] dougb_freebsd: thanks again... i'm a trailblaizer so I'll check out xcompmgr [07:34] glad to help, good luck :) [07:35] Doyle, CrunchBang maintain their own fork of xcompmgr which is supposedly superior. [07:35] mcc: and when you kill it and try again? [07:35] does anyone else knows how i can change these in plymouth? [07:35] eyecandy should always have an off switch. :) I can turn it off now.. but its a bit of a hack. [07:35] sinman: theres some alterantive plymouth themes in the repos. and other places [07:35] How can I change the login screen? I am unable to do so. I don't care for the purple color [07:35] ikey: pfft, everyone says their stuff is superior... but I'll give that one a try also [07:36] Chr|s: if you dont like the wallpaper. find the image and change it. Or use that 'gdm2setup' proigram to tweak it. [07:36] Doyle, It is pretty good tbh. xcompmgr was only intended as a demonstration composite manager. [07:36] ikey: linux mint says their ubuntu is more ubuntu than ubuntu... it's not [07:36] Doyle, No they dont.. [07:37] Got it all wrong there.. [07:37] Dr_Willis: I have tried to change it, also tried that program. Each time I tried, it freezes on me. [07:37] is there a way for a script to check if the computer needs a restart to apply updates ? [07:37] doyle: whenever it starts or stops i seem to be geting three lines: "main process terminated with status 1", "main process ended, respawning" and "mysql post-start process (29984) terminated with status 1". every time i start it seems to print these three lines to daemon.log endlessly [07:37] however if i stop and start a lot service mysql start never exits on its own [07:37] awh shit it's windows paths! [07:38] Chr|s: editing the wallpaper is rather trivial. find the original one in /usr/share and back it up. copy yoru new one over the old :) [07:38] is there a shell that can handle backslashes? [07:38] retco: watch your language, please [07:38] I've been in their channel a few times for help with mint when I had it over the last year, but I dind't like the atmosphere [07:38] I want to migrate my script from twitter basic auth to OAuth, HOW?! [07:38] hmm sorry [07:38] Doyle, LM isnt just about the underlying system, it appreciates the base and uses it to the full potential. And fwiw theres a debian version too. [07:38] Also if you'd been in the channel i'd have seen you. [07:38] [07:38] Dr_Willis: so basically rename the new wallpaper I want the same as the original? [07:39] mcc: hmmm [07:39] Chr|s: thats the simple way to change it. [07:39] so this is the exact error i'm getting : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/613032 i should mention, when i purge and reinstall, it fails to set up the root password and prints an error about ./mysql/user.frm [07:39] Chr|s: ive seen scripts that set it to be whatever wallpaper the user selects automatically also [07:39] mcc: ok brb [07:39] I just tried rendering an lxs I saved under windows on linux [07:39] Wished that was never changed in the newer version === rambo3_ is now known as rambo3 [07:39] ahh well, thanks :) [07:39] and I have the assumption that it can't find the file because the paths have backslashes in them [07:40] Is that correct? [07:40] Chr|s: the GDM theme is so critical? :) thats amuseing.. [07:41] the original wallpaper i think is /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png (for some odd reason) [07:41] retco: if you're accessing files from unix you don't use backslashes, use forward slashes [07:41] and be sure to escape any spaces [07:41] Dr_Willis: is that the crap stained carpet? [07:41] yeah well the exporter does the paths [07:41] will windows handle forward slashes? [07:42] Dr_Willis: To me it is, no reason to change something that has worked in the previous release. Should be able to change the login screen flawlessly instead of having to rename another picture the same as the original. [07:42] appears it will [07:42] ugh I hate operating system [07:42] *s [07:42] should the mysql user be a member of the root group? [07:42] Chr|s: go read up on the changes with gdm2 vs gdm1 - gdm2 will have more features.. eventually. [07:43] Luxrender should handle this differently [07:43] Chr|s: if you really want - you can install the old gdm. [07:43] Does anyone know how to migrate a shell script from "Twitter basic auth" --> "OAuth"? [07:43] heck, luxblend shouldn't export backslashes [07:43] retco: things break: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/565757 [07:43] Dr_Willis: thanks [07:43] I always just edit the wallpaper to a solid blue color. and thats about it for my GDM tweaking [07:44] sometux: isn't that something you should be able to find on twitter's web site? Not really on topic here [07:44] oh damn wrong channel [07:44] I mean [07:44] oh snap [07:45] ugh now how am I gonna fix this crap [07:45] how to unmount? [07:45] sudo umount /media/whatever [07:45] ipunk: umount what exactly? [07:45] and iso mounted to a directory [07:45] hi to all [07:46] ipunk: sudo umount /media/whatever [07:46] what is ubuntu chat channel [07:46] ? [07:47] roscogruen: #ubuntu-offtopic [07:47] roscogruen: for non-support chat? #ubuntu-offtopic === ZNC_DoubleString is now known as DoubleString [07:47] kewl. thanks SwedeMike & rww [07:48] mcc: just for fun, tell me what's running when you do a 'ps -e | grep sql' [07:48] now how to mount ??? [07:48] doyle: atm nothing [07:49] there's a 2.5gb zip file I need to download, but my connection is not good, so with browser it will take 3 days, and I can't have my PC switched on for 3 days...so what shall I do? [07:50] i'm right now trying to run a program called "mysql_install_db" [07:50] n00by: wget can resume downloads if you tell it to. [07:50] SwedeMike: well, it's not a direct link download, I mean you have to go to that link, it asks for username and password, feed in, and then download, so it's possible with wget ? [07:50] n00by>> is the file available in torrent format ? [07:50] n00by: I don't know. [07:50] it gives me anunusual error message that stats with "examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information" [07:50] but no such logs exist [07:50] no idea mobasher [07:51] it's a feed provided by apple for it's ipad and iphone apps [07:51] this a little bit makes me wonder if ther eis some kind of problem with the /var/lib/mysql dir permissions that is blocking log files and such from being created [07:51] n00by>> well it should say there ? check [07:51] mobasher: one sec [07:51] are you trying to download the iphone sdk? [07:51] mcc: ok, do a tail on /var/log/daemon.log and try to start the service again while watching the tail [07:52] mcc: you should only see a few lines pop up [07:52] mobasher: NO [07:53] doyle: okay.. "start the service" how exactly? sudo service mysql start? [07:53] now how do improve the sound qulity from my laptop because on some songs ir teally sounds very bad? [07:53] n00by: tell the people who are hosting the file that you have this problem and ask them to split it up in smaller parts. [07:53] SwedeMike: it's a zip file itself [07:53] does this channel have a pastebot [07:53] I don't think they would do it, they are APPLE INC. :P [07:53] or can someone recommend one [07:54] SwedeMike: also files in them I saw are 1gb huge [07:54] hi all.. i need to mount an external HDD (USB/firewire interface ) on my ubuntu 10.4 workstation [07:54] so no solution for this ? [07:54] !pastebin [07:54] 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. [07:54] can anyone help out with usb boot for gparted? [07:54] n00by: zip files can be split. [07:55] SwedeMike: well, but tell me one thing [07:55] mcc: ok do a 'tail -F /var/log/daemon.log' and start the service as you've been doing... I assume /etc/init.d/mysql start [07:55] to reach that url kget or wget would need username and password to feed in, can they do this ? [07:55] mcc: yea, pastebin is good [07:55] now how do improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad? [07:56] n00by: it depends on the authentication method. [07:56] SwedeMike: please explain [07:56] n00by: just look at the man page, wget can do basic http authentication, the one that pops up in your browser. If it's something else, then it can't. [07:57] yeah, that pops in the browser heh [07:57] n00by>> try Aria download manager [07:57] n00by: then just try it. [07:57] wget is a command line tool heh, some GUI tool ? [07:57] wget has GUI front ends also [07:57] n00by>> Aria [07:57] theres also other download managers. [07:57] mobasher: is that better ? [07:58] doyle: http://pastebin.com/dCWbNwRs [07:58] n00by>> sudo apt-get install aria [07:58] ok mobasher, installing wait [07:58] boywonder: clarify your question to the channel. [07:58] mobasher: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package aria [07:59] mcc: ah, that's right, they want us to use the service command now... ok brb [07:59] n00by>> read PM [07:59] mobasher: you too :P [07:59] but service doesn't appear to do anything /etc/init doesn't. [07:59] i'm really concerned about this user.frm problem. every time i try to install it says it failed to create user.frm. [08:00] but it is confusing because from looking at google there seem to be a very large number of problems that generate the same two or three error messages... [08:01] mcc: ok, look in '/etc/mysql/conf.d' for a link to '/home/user/my.cnf' [08:01] how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad? [08:01] ipunk: plugin external speakers [08:02] yeah i has a hifi pconnected to my laptop [08:02] hi all.. i need to mount an external HDD (USB/firewire interface ) on my ubuntu 10.4 workstation [08:02] pls help [08:02] Sarvesh_ji: Pluyg it in and it 'should' auto mount [08:02] doyle, the only thing in that folder is a file named "mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf" [08:03] Sarvesh_ji: if not - try mounting it by hand with the proper 'sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/PICKAPLACE' command [08:03] !mount | Sarvesh_ji [08:03] Sarvesh_ji: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [08:04] mcc: does 'locate my.cnf' return anything other than /etc/mysql/my.cnf [08:04] ? [08:04] doyle: find / -name my.cnf returns only /etc/mysql/my.cnf and a backup in my home dir [08:07] mcc: did you install mysql from the synaptic package manager? [08:07] Dr_Willis : local mounting is not a problem ... but I want to use it from other system in my network... hence thought of nfs mount it [08:07] how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad? [08:09] doyle, i installed it via "aptitude" [08:09] and as mentioned i've tried purging / reinstalling it several times. i think what might have happened, one of the times i tried to install it i ran out of space on the disk and something got messed up that uninstalling did not fix. but i don't know. [08:10] my purging procedure is to purge, deluser and --delete-all-files the mysql user, then delete all files/dirs with mysql in the name [08:10] mcc: ok, purge it. Use synaptic package manager and search for 'mysql-server' you'll see one with the version 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6, install that. Apparently this version has resolved the issue you're experiencing [08:11] doyle: okay... sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is synaptic package manager? [08:11] this is like a gui dpkg or something? [08:11] mcc... I had this issue almost 2 months ago. I did everything then one dya the issue went away... they must have snuk in an update I didn't notice [08:11] using kget, shows Status - Delayed, then it shows Status - Connecting... then again Status - Delayed, does that means it cannot authenticate ? [08:11] Sarvesh_ji: you can set up NFS or samba. you will need to set the proper permissions on the decvice when you mount it - to be able to share it. [08:11] mcc: teh package manager can be found under the System menu, and under Administration [08:12] doyle, there is no gui on this machine and i can't really get one on [08:12] mcc: it's a gui to allow you to search for and install software. It handles all requirements and dependancies [08:12] Sarvesh_ji: if the remote box is a linux machine. It could use sshfs to access the device. or winscp if its a windows box. This may be easier to setup [08:12] Dr_Willis: any idea ? [08:12] mcc: ok [08:12] do you suppose there's a way to get that information with the command line tools? [08:13] !info synaptic [08:13] synaptic (source: synaptic): Graphical package manager. In component main, is optional. Version 0.63.1ubuntu7 (lucid), package size 808 kB, installed size 6276 kB [08:13] I've been searching and trying tutorials.. nothing works. ASUS UL30 webcam upside down :( [08:13] anyone have advice? cheese is right-side up, flash is upside down [08:13] kalmosx: upside down? :) thats.. amuseing.. I tend to turn mine upside down when i Chat.. to annoy people [08:14] Dr_Willis: any help? [08:14] using kget, shows Status - Delayed, then it shows Status - Connecting... then again Status - Delayed, does that means it cannot authenticate ? [08:14] kalmosx: i saw a program that works as a front end to the webcam that can to tricks and effects.. it can rotate.. but it may be a little overkill to use it to just rotate it back. [08:14] n00by: i tend to just use wget from command line. [08:14] hm, well i wonder if it will work... only flash is upside down, so i don't know what's up [08:14] Dr_Willis: and you can use resume, pause and so on from the command line itself ? [08:15] so according to this 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 is the version i have installed [08:15] i got this with dpkg --list | grep mysql [08:15] n00by: wget has options for those yes. [08:15] do you suppose if i just went with mysql 4, the problem would correct itself? [08:15] n00by: IF the server supports it [08:15] mcc: just to confirm you're installing with 'sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1'? [08:15] Dr_Willis: hmm, just used kget doenst works, but thanks! [08:15] i'm installing with sudo aptitude install libdbd-mysql-perl mysql-client mysql-server [08:15] but that's choosing the 5.1 package [08:15] mcc: have you run sudo apt-get update recently? [08:16] yes, within the last few hours [08:16] and everything is upgraded [08:16] perhaps i should install a lens on my webcam to flip the image... [08:16] kalmosx: this tool (i cant find its name) sort of works as a middleman - it makes a 2nd fake video device so the webcam -> program -> device -> program accessing the cam.. sees the fake cam. that can do all sorts of tricks. and even get some programs working that have issues directly accessing the web cam [08:16] would anyone know how to open a gnome-terminal window with more than one tab then telling each tab what process to run? directly from a command line (or a shell script) [08:17] mast`: ive seen that asked befor.. i think its possible. but i dont recall how it was done. check gnome-terminal --help perhaps [08:17] Dr_Willis: this sounds excellent, if only i could find it... [08:18] mcc: ok, sorry, for aptitude update then. hmmm [08:18] i'm gonna try 4.1. wave a dead chicken [08:18] kalmosx: i saw it on the 'pinguy os' ubuntu variant and was playing with it. It let me pipe videos to my webcam. :) [08:18] it just seems so strange that these scripts are failing and the most specific error i can get is "status 1" [08:19] mcc: would it be ok for you to just use 'sudo tasksel'? [08:19] it setup a lamp server [08:19] Dr_Willis: i suppose i'll continue digging in google's archives [08:19] doyle: oh. well, that would work fine, though i'm not very familiar with it [08:20] mcc: give it a shot, it sets it up as the packages would normally be setup anyway. It's just a quicky way someone setup at some point [08:20] doyle: this looks like it's doing basically the same things i was doing by hand [08:20] the status 1 error is junk. Programmers. Can't kill em... lol [08:20] exactly [08:21] ... [08:21] well that's terrifying [08:21] what is? [08:21] the tasksel thing worked on the first try :O [08:21] bo ya! [08:21] like, mysqld is running fine now :O [08:21] thank you so much! [08:21] lol [08:21] That's now my answer for everything [08:21] kalmosx: yea. I recall the app was java based (wich suprised me) i dont see it in the PinguyOS listing.. proberly because it was not an app he just apt-get install'ed.. but nstalled by hand. Let me heck my bookmarks [08:22] morning guys [08:22] Dr_Willis: thanks a lot :) [08:22] anytime mcc, that was fun [08:22] does anyone know of a good program for creating ISO files of movies? [08:23] * ikey would say dd but always gets flamed for it [08:23] Evo11: yeah, but I don't think it's for linux... [08:23] stupid windows domination. [08:23] k lm looking for a linux one tyhough [08:23] Evo11: search up dvdshrink ;) [08:23] haha [08:23] Evo11: use dd [08:23] l use that on my windows machine also [08:24] p1oooop1, decss was made on linux .. [08:24] that is for linux Doyle? [08:24] lol Doyle [08:24] Example: dd if=/dev/dvd of=MY_BACKUP_LEGIT_HONEST.iso [08:24] Evo11: yes, dd copies information bit for bit from the source to the destination, empty space included [08:24] Technically it should be UDF. but ohwell. [08:24] Evo11, tried K3b or Brasero [08:25] kalmosx: i cant find the name in my bookmarks either. When i Upgraded this box. it may got removed.. I need to reboot the other box to Pinguy to find its name.. but that box is busy for the next 20 min reencoding a video. so it may be a bit. I cant even find it on google. [08:26] I tried that one undifined but I got the following error: libdvdcss.so.2 (library). [08:26] got dcss ? no :p [08:27] Dr_Willis: i appreciate your help, thanks [08:27] no l don't have dcss, but lm installing K3b to try that one [08:28] if there any way for a script to see if apt wants to restart the system ? [08:29] jhattara: if you're that worried about it, just restart [08:30] dougb_freebsd, i'd like to make an automated script to restart a server in case of kernel upgrade [08:30] you shouldn't do automated kernel upgrades [08:31] h8 === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:32] dougb_freebsd, would it be better to make a manual timed restart [08:32] ? [08:32] that depends, what are you trying to accomplish? [08:32] how can i delete a file thru the command line? [08:32] i have a webserver that needs to be restarted in the middle of the night if at all [08:33] and was just wondering is it possible to let apt control the need for restart [08:33] sinman: rm [08:33] ikonia : thanxs [08:33] updating software on a server without human interaction is a really bad idea [08:33] jhattara: are you seriously saying free bsd has a better "cron" than Linux ? [08:34] but if you choose to do it anyway, best of luck to you :) [08:34] well, i have no physical access to the server around the time the restart has to be done [08:34] ikonia: I don't see him saying that at all [08:34] jhattara: who said anything about physical access? [08:34] dougb_freebsd: no, I've just re-read, my mistake [08:34] dougb_freebsd: your nick name caused confusion [08:34] ikonia: no worries :) [08:34] someone else on freenode has dougb [08:35] and the first time I logged on here I was looking for help on another channel, so I wanted to make it clear who I was [08:36] what's the difference if i don't have physical access to the server whether the restart is in cron or if i do it with ssh? [08:37] jhattara: I'm assuming you have some sort of remote console access since it's a server ... if you don't, you're better off doing it when you have physical access [08:37] which is better, to have it down for 10 minutes during the day when you can fix it immediately, or to have it down for 4 hours overnight because you told cron to reboot it and it failed to come back? [08:38] yeah, i got ssh [08:38] I have to wonder why a webserver 'needs to be restarted' daily [08:38] Dr_Willis, who said anything about daily [08:38] ssh is not remote console access [08:39] why else would you want to be automateing it..? [08:39] well, that's all the access i got to the computer [08:39] ssh in restart it then.. and hope for the best i guess. if its a one time thing. [08:39] jhattara: then don't do software upgrades OR reboots unless you have physical access [08:39] * Dr_Willis agrees with dougb_freebsd [08:39] Dr_Willis: you missed a whole bunch of the conversation [08:39] dougb_freebsd: probnerly. :) been researching info for some other guy... [08:39] I need a longer history buffer on my irc client [08:41] Ive had to many 'remote' box issues.. and the remote headless server is in the next room... [08:42] dougb_freebsd, so basically you are saying that i shouldn't reboot a system at all if i don't have a primitive access to it? === pins is now known as pinPoint [08:43] yes, that's exactly what I'm saying [08:43] unless of course it's not a problem if the thing stays off line till you can get to it again [08:44] why is cron involved.. cant shutdown take a time artument also.. [08:44] Dr_Willis, it can [08:44] i was just wondering if i could do a fully automated script that would restart only if apt thinks it needs a restart [08:47] another script i'd like to create is something that would probe the status of various server-daemons and attempt to restart them if they are not functioning properly [08:48] there are all sorts of monitoring systems available already ... nagios is probably the easiest place to start [08:48] kalmosx: the hard to rember name is 'webcamstudio' *doh* [08:48] dougb_freebsd: I use hobbit [08:48] Dr_Willis: awesome! i'm going to try it now [08:48] kalmosx: http://www.ws4gl.org/ [08:49] WebcamStudio For GNU/Linux creates a virtual webcam that can mix several video sources together [08:49] It has some real neat features. You can broadcast your desktop, then switch to your face. then to a movie, or other source real fast. [08:49] this sounds like an awesome tool :D [08:50] no sound in firefox flashplayer help please [08:50] kalmosx: one main feaure i recall. it it can get webcams that flash cant 'see' to work with flash. [08:50] rileyp: 32 bit or 64 bit? [08:50] kalmosx: the inteface is a little odd.. but not to hard to figure out [08:51] Blue 1 10.04 lucid 32 bit [08:51] Blue1 10.04 lucid 32 bit [08:52] rileyp: okay let me get my netbook brb [08:52] Blue1 Its an asrock ion front end mythv has sound and xbmc has sound [08:53] Hi all, how can I fake giving virtualbox a blank CD/DVD? [08:53] Blue1 and vlc has sound now Ive set it to hdmi in the vlc setings [08:53] rileyp: please prepend message to me with my nick, thanks. I am not understanding. You have no sound at all, or you have no sound with firefox? [08:54] Blue1 no sound with firefox [08:55] rileyp: please prepend messages with my nick or I will be unable to help you. [08:55] Blue1 no sound in firefox only is what I am doing wrong Blue1 [08:56] is an ssh server pre installed with 10.4? [08:56] funh: no [08:56] funh: sudo apt-get install ssh [08:56] rileyp: try auto-complete. try typing in blu then hit the tab key [08:57] funh: the client is, but not the server [08:57] Blue1, ok [08:57] how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs it really sounds very bad? [08:57] ipunk: use headphones (really) [08:58] Dr_Willis: this is great! works just as you said [08:58] the problem is not in the speakers my laptop is connected to a hifi [08:58] kalmosx: yea. You can stgream a video to your friends and chat with them at the same time [08:58] rileyp: you should have a file called libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer [08:58] kalmosx: some of the GUI is odd. and not clear like whats a 'animation' source vs a actual video.. [08:59] rileyp: so let's do a reality check and make sure it's there [08:59] the problem is that the quality of the sound is very bad sometimes [08:59] kalmosx: heh. I am now streaming a video. with the weather report on top of it. :) [08:59] Dr_Willis: dude, sweet [09:00] kalmosx: whats amuseing.. its a java app.. but its aparently not ported to windows [09:00] Hi [09:00] Blue1, flash is installed and working just no sound /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer: Is a directory [09:00] Hello! :) [09:00] kalmosx: i DO notice that my colors in my videos are wrong. like the red/green/blue are shifted or somthing. BUtg live cam feed is not [09:01] Blue1, 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 [09:01] rileyp: correct let's see if the libflashplayer.so is there. [09:01] rileyp: okay I'm done. [09:01] Picasa taking too much time to load why? [09:02] How can i install a .sh file? [09:02] I'm just going to ask a question right away: How do I install a different kernel on Ubuntu? I need 2.6.32.9, apparently. It seems like installing a different kernel is dangerous enough, so I really don't want to screw it up. [09:02] kalmosx: try using a video file as your source. and see if the colors are correct. This is the 2nd pc now ive seen the colors be wrong [09:02] Blue1, flash is working just no sound I need to set my default sound output device to the hdmi port somehow [09:02] Dr_Willis: will do, just a moment [09:02] sreerajc: what is this sh file exactly? it can depend on what its isntalling [09:03] Blue1 Me thinks if i plugged in speakers to 1/4 inch jack I would have sound [09:03] !kernel | Matsy [09:03] Matsy: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [09:04] Thanks, haha.

[09:12] sreerajc: you may want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic they may have some suggestions. [09:12] rileyp: do you mean a irc server? [09:12] Dr_Willis, k,thnx [09:13] sorry i mean sreerajc [09:13] sreerajc: try the ##english channel on this server [09:13] or learn german [09:13] Chr|s, yes [09:14] hi, is there a way to get Battlefield bad company 2 running with ubuntu?

Returns nothing [09:18] I had nvidia on this system. today I pulled it out and now system does not start [09:19] now I am in failsafe gnome [09:19] om26er: you'll need to reconfigure your xorg [09:19] ikonia, something like dpkg-reconfigure? [09:19] om26er: what have you replaced the nvidia card with ? [09:19] ikonia, the built in intel [09:20] om26er: ok, so you need to edit the xorg.conf file and remove the "driver nvidia" line, or better still, remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let X auto detect it all again [09:20] hello [09:20] morning all! [09:21] * om26er reboots [09:21] ever since i've updated ubuntu my mx5000 mouse/keyboard combo has been dropping connection after a short while [09:21] any ideas? [09:21] how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs it really sounds very bad? [09:21] thats a bluetooth moude ezrafree ? [09:22] yes Dr_Willis [09:22] ipunk: just some? anything differnt about those? differnt format? type of muzak? [09:22] no dif style of music thats all [09:22] oh [09:22] ezrafree: never used a BT mouse/keyboard so i cant help. You may want to check teh forums see if others have same issue [09:23] ezrafree: this was a 9.04 -> 10.04 upgrade? or just a recent 10.04 update? [09:24] me thinks this is a driver problem [09:25] the hifi is fine Im playing with the 3.5 mm audio cable its connectteed to my laptop is fine too [09:25] and I certainly didin't have that bad quality on w7 [09:26] <__good_day_> Hello friends, I am trying to install ubuntu as guest using vmware. I had issue with the installation, after the minimum installtion the setup reboots the guest OS(ubuntu 10.01.1) and then a purple screen appears. After that login prompt comes. What to do now ? [09:26] hi. I've lost the ability in Nautilus to right click and open files (in a text editor for example) and also the option to choose which program the file opens with is gone. anyone know how to get this back? [09:28] __good_day_, pick your username, enter your password and press Enter [09:28] ikonia, now the situation changed. the system does not start directly but if I go to recovery mode sudo gdm starts gdm fine [09:28] with 3d working [09:28] cmon guys youre telling me that i cant listen songs with more bass on my acer with ubuntu ??? [09:28] om26er: did you do what I told you to do ? [09:29] ikonia, yes deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:29] <__good_day_> codebrainz: login incorrect. [09:29] om26er: this is ubuntu 10.04 right ? [09:29] ikonia, yes [09:29] I just installed lucid to a dell laptop. The usb mouse was working perfectly until I installed the updates. lsusb shows the mouse properly, but the mouse no longer moves the cursor. I have added 'acpi=force irqpoll' to grub per the forum post, but that didn't help. [09:29] om26er: ok, so when you start it in normal mode what happens ? [09:30] ikonia, tty [09:30] om26er: you need to check the Xorg logs then to find out why it's not starting at boot time [09:30] ikonia, then if I enter user name and password and then sudo gdm does not start gdm [09:30] __good_day_, did you setup a user during install? [09:31] om26er: you need to check the logs to see what it's not happy about [09:31] ikonia, where are the logs? [09:31] om26er: also make %100 certain /etc/X11/Xorg.conf is not there [09:32] yes not there [09:32] ipunk: I'm betting that the files that sound horrible only sound that way because the files are broken. Many players simply ignore gain settings that seem too absurd which is why they would sound normal in other players. [09:34] i tryed dling the song w\from 3 dif sources [09:34] and tryed playing it with dif players [09:34] lol, all these guides for Ubuntu on a Mac are terrible; none of them mentions how to boot from a CD on a Mac. [09:34] the song is more electro or techno is the sound quality is .... [09:34] svip: press C [09:34] What's the name of the application that shows the network connection? [09:34] svip: `if you own a mac it should be known [09:34] on startup [09:34] ikonia: Apparently not for all. [09:35] I also would like to know the name of the container that contains this applet. [09:35] Ah, I think it was nm-applet. [09:35] chris_osx: Well, it took me a while to dig that information up. [09:35] It wouldn't hurt to include it in the guides; just sayin'. === Greyscale is now known as Greysc[a]le [09:37] Humans are not born with knowledge about either OSX or Ubuntu. Since Ubuntu is for human beings, it should be in the guides or there should be a reference to something which does explain it. Not that I use a Mac. [09:37] ipunk: Could you give an example file that sounds bad? [09:38] pozic, you can't find a good install reference for a mac? === sudokode is now known as edokodus === edokodus is now known as sudokode [09:41] ipunk: Have you tried using mp3gain? [09:41] itbcn8: it was not my problem. [09:41] itbcn8: and I didn't even search. === sudokode is now known as mit [09:42] itbcn8: I could probably find it, if I wanted it. [09:42] mp3gain? === mit is now known as sudokode [09:42] anyone know how to turn on usb support? theres no icon for it in the lower right corner. some things i read suggested adding permissions to the vbox user group or something to that effect, but no group named that exists [09:42] in virtualbox sorry [09:42] Tweaky Bios [09:42] Tweaky: the open source virtual box does not have usb support [09:42] ya pozic, because they have REALLY detailed step by step instructions, for every macbook make and model [09:42] Tweaky: only the full version does [09:43] oh! [09:43] ipunk: It's a piece of software for modifying an mp3 files gain settings. [09:43] so it has to be purchased to have that function? [09:43] Tweaky: no - its a free download. [09:43] Tweaky: its just differnt then the ones in the repos. [09:43] !virtualbox [09:43] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [09:45] Dr_Willis: for future reference, opening a new terminal with tabs & processes is done with --tab -e "process1" --tab -e "process 2" :) [09:45] so if i get it from the vbox site that one has the support for usb? [09:45] nvm u just answered [09:45] ipunk: Make a copy of one of the bad files and try running "mp3gain -a -k /path/to/song.mp3" then play the modified file. [09:46] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iijrhUzYGPM [09:46] it sounds bad in youtube too [09:47] the sound just isn't clean the way it was on w7 [09:47] !upgrade [09:47] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [09:47] ipunk: your audio controller may just have a poor kernel module [09:48] it sounds just fine on w7 [09:48] ipunk: yes but you're not using windows 7, hence why I said it may just have a poor kernel module [09:48] kernel doesn't say much to me Im afraid ;( [09:49] ipunk: kernel is basically the linux "driver manager" [09:49] is there anyway i fix this I have acer 5738 ZG [09:49] ipunk: what is your audio controller, that's the real question [09:49] acer aspire 5738zg* [09:49] <__good_day_> codebrainz: When I configure virtual machine in vmware, I entered username/pass. I tried that and it is working. Thank you. The installation process didnt ask anything performs - installing additional components, network detect, dhcp configration, settingup clock, formatting partition, installing base system. [09:50] ikonia: how do I check whats my audio controller? [09:50] ipunk: check your hardware specs (back in 5 minutes) [09:50] <__good_day_> codebrainz: I got into linux prompt after login. Its command prompt, how to get graphical screen. do I need to install anything for start. Startx is not working.

[09:50] VLC [09:51] how do i check what hardware i has on ubuntu??? [09:52] __good_day_, which install CD did you use? [09:52] ipunk, you can use the hwinfo utility === ZNC_DoubleString is now known as DoubleString [09:52] Can Someone point me to a howto install active directory on ubuntu 10.04?

[09:53] <__good_day_> codebrainz: No, it didnt ask anything and install on its own. I am not sure where to do the required setting [09:54] ipunk, 'apt-get install hwinfo' and then 'man hwinfo' for instructions [09:55] __good_day_, try 'apt-get install xorg ubuntu-desktop' [09:56] Hi, is there a way to find out how many ram modules are installed without openin the case? [09:56] ipunk, there's some really good gui tools for this as well, but i can't remember any names [09:56] /proc/meminfo does not have this info [09:56] when trying to play a radio station on VLC i get "Please enter a valid login name and password for realm (null)". I have no idea what I'm supposed to enter. Could anyone please tell me? [09:57] codebrainz: thx i has the hardware listed in mah termianl now [09:57] <__good_day_> codebrainz: it needs administrative priviliges to execute the command. I am loggin in as ubuntu@ubuntu. I havenot entered anywhere the root password while installation or configuring the virtual machine. Any way i get login as root or run su command. [09:58] <__good_day_> codebrainz: any default root password [09:58] __good_day_, sudo apt-get install ... [09:59] __good_day_, it sounds like you're running the live system though and not the installed one, you should've been asked to setup a user [09:59] IT SAYS HTTP AUTHENTICATION AT THE TOP OF THE BOX [10:00] ahox: free will show memory [10:00] <__good_day_> codebrainz: ooh.. Yes, How to make sure I am running live system. Also your command works and I have been asked to install a lot of packages of around 2 GB. [10:00] th0r, thnx, however I am interested in the number of installed modules... I just found the command lshw, maybe this one is helpfull [10:01] __good_day_, it will all be for nothing if you're running the live system [10:01] ikonia: Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller [10:01] __good_day_, probably easier just to reinstall using the Desktop CD [10:02] anyone!? [10:03] pie_time: you get that when the server does not respond....there is nothing to enter...it is a bogus prompt [10:03] guys, if I do a tail -f /var/log/messages, I get "rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="969" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'". any idea what that means ? google didn't help [10:03] th0r, then how do i access this station ive accessed 5 times before with no problem? [10:04] that command lightweight doesn't exist [10:04] <__good_day_> codebrainz: I got you, Instead of downloading desktop one, I have downloaded alternate iso image. Let me download the desktop and install again. Thank you a Lot.. [10:04] pie_time: it is probably either busy or offline. Sometimes you can get in by trying several times, but sometimes the server is just offline [10:04] ok [10:04] thanks [10:05] <__good_day_> codebrainz: downloading http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso image now. [10:05] What's the preffered method to have a script execute on startup of a server? [10:05] __good_day_, yep, it should be much friendlier if you are kinda new [10:06] datune, you can add a call to it in /etc/rc.local iirc [10:08] What if I write a script named FOO, which executes the real script, put that in /etc/init.d/ and then do update-rc.d FOO defaults, wouldn't that be a better option? [10:09] datune, i guess, it depends what the script is doing and when you want it to run [10:10] codebrainz: It's a monitoring tool for MySQL Servers (called MONyog) [10:10] datune, only reason i say rc.local is because it runs last afaik [10:11] codebrainz: Really, I just want to make sure that if the machine is rebooted, MONyog is started [10:11] hi, I installed http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+sunrise+plymouth?content=129696 but it is only in greyscales on startup, what can I do about that? [10:11] codebrainz: I see. Thanks a lot! [10:12] blubb o.O [10:12] Is there a way to get Battlefield bad company 2 running with Ubuntu or no chance? [10:12] Hello everyone, i have a local server with dnsmasq on it, and it is working great with the window scomputer in my environment. But the mac and mainly the Ubuntu computer are not working via that dns: I configured my DNS IP /etc/resolv.conf and did sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload [10:12] If i ping a subdomain it just doesn' t work. [10:13] On the PC' s it is working [10:13] hello, has some one this this prob? My apt-* is getting stuck on this, e.g. [10:13] sudo apt-get check [10:13] Reading package lists... Done [10:13] Building dependency tree... 50% [10:13] chickamade: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:16] Hmm, i dont recall ever using the apt-get check command... [10:16] somthing to add to my notes. [10:16] Any ideas guys ? [10:16] Dr_Willis, it happens for other apt-*, aptitude or GUI [10:16] chickamade: i wonder if thers not a currupted file in /var/cache/apt [10:16] Dr_Willis, it just got stuck at 50% and going nowhere [10:17] ikonia: Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller [10:17] chickamade: you could clean out the files in /var/cache/apt BUT some of those are required for apt to work. so dont just delete them.

[10:19] Dr_Willis: so i can't test it for you, sorry :( [10:20] Dr_Willis: yeah, not sure what to do about that [10:20] kalmosx: i just add a video file source and look at the preview is all i did [10:20] kalmosx: use the system admin users tool and check the groups [10:20] Back online. Some network issues [10:20] I have a local server with dnsmasq on it, and it is working great with the window scomputer in my environment. But the mac and mainly the Ubuntu computer are not working via that dns: I configured my DNS IP /etc/resolv.conf and did sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload [10:21] kalmosx: select the user, advanced settings, theres a check box for video. [10:22] kalmosx: ive never actually had anyone connect to my webcam/webcamstudio. ive only watched the previews - so for all i know - it dosent work at all. :) [10:23] kalmosx: got to log out/back in to change the groups. Brb [10:23] Dr_Willis: after adding myself, it still shows the message :/ [10:23] ah ok [10:23] Dr_Willis, I moved pkgcache.bin to pkgcache.bin.bak, and apt-* seems happy BUT when I issue an install command it seemed to forget that coreutils, udev, and friends are installed [10:24] Dr_Willis: i admire your patience and good will, goodnight :) [10:24] Dr_Willis: not sure if I should continue [10:25] is there a way to tell APT to regenerate its cache?

Upon "dig mx domain.com" it gives "domain.com. 14400 IN MX 10 213.15.90.208.domain.com." which i don't think is right [10:28] Error404NotFound: ask in #dbs [10:28] Error404NotFound: ask in #dns [10:28] #dns [10:29] ikonia, tried in #bind with no luck [10:30] what should i do if i don't have a /etc/default/bluetooth ...should i just create one or is there something i should install? [10:30] Dr_Willis, it seems /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin is corrupted, but if I moved it away, APT and dpkg would seem to lose all memory of installed pacakges [10:30] chickamade: yea. Not sure what to do. [10:30] Error404NotFound: ok - it's still nothing to do with ubuntu [10:30] ikonia, may be if dns is hosted on an ubuntu box :P [10:31] anybody knows some app that gives graphical representation of disk usage?

[10:37] ikonia, nslookup gives my the correct IP [10:37] 10.4 [10:37] DjAngo23: then your dns is working on the desktop [10:37] ikonia: thanks [10:38] im dual booting?

[10:43] by default [10:44] ikonia: I installed 32-bit Ubuntu, but uname -a says x86_64.

[10:47] I have some difficultie sin setting out an alternative outgoing server on evolution. Is that even possible? I have one server that I use in the office (the main one), but when I am at home I need to use a different one. [10:48] I installed a spashsreen but that is only displayed in black/white on startup. What can I do about that? [10:48] tasslehoff: your running 64bit [10:48] I cannot access any other outgoing server from the office (the block the protocol) and I cannot access the office server at home (again, the block the protocol) [10:48] any help? [10:49] Hi, I would like to help test 10.10beta and I am running into some issues, is someone here who could help? [10:49] ct529: talk to your office tech dept [10:49] Doyle: and say what? [10:49] ct529: get some vpn action going [10:49] algnod: what sort of problems [10:49] Doyle: nope, it slows everything down [10:49] Doyle: I would like to configure an alternative outgoing server [10:50] ct529: vpn is used to assure security. A company will not allow alternate connection methods to be employed. Read the IT policy I'm sure it's mentioned in there that any attempt to breach network security has severe repercussions [10:51] Doyle: I need to set up an alternative outgoing server when I use the laptop from home for personal use [10:51] algnod: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for Maverick questions and support, try there :) [10:52] Doyle: it is fine with our IT department [10:52] thanks rww [10:52] ct529: all access to your corporate network will have to be handled by the companies IT dept. If there's a sever involved get themt o set it up and tell you how to establish a connection. [10:53] ct529: if you have a more specific question than how to connect to a corporate network from home... [10:57] Doyle: you did not read qhat I said .... I need to set up an alternative outgoing server when I use the laptop from home for PERSONAL use .... it is perfectly FINE with my IT department (I checked with them) .... there is only one simple technical question: hwo do I set up an alternative outgoing server in evolution under ubuntu 10.04? [10:58] ct529: ok, lets try this again. I have issues with people trying to circumnavigate network security... years of compromised networks has made me freak out at the idea of it [10:59] Doyle: look, it is not a security issue .... it is the fact that I cannot find the way of configuring an alternative outgoing server on evolution in ubuntu 10.04 for personal use .... in what way is that related to a security issue???? [10:59] anyone know anything about the latest kernel update breaking logitech wireless mouse/keybards? [11:00] ct529: What is the connection for? Mail primarily I assuem [11:02] just updated kernel (to 2.6.32-24) on 10.04, now my logitech MX wireless mouse/keyboard will not function. Pulling the USB key and putting back makes it prompt to grant/reject access to some long string of numbers... any idea what's going on? [11:03] Doyle: it is just an outgoing server (smtp) on evolution to send emails, my personal, private emails, that should not go through the company outgoing smtp server [11:03] ct529: ok lovely. you have it's public ip address? [11:03] what would live medium path be set to for gparted on usb? [11:03] Doyle: of whom? [11:04] ct529: to connect to the company server you have to have either it's IP address or its web address [11:05] ct529: it'll look something like 64.128.2.252 or http://company.com/exchange or something [11:05] Doyle: I am saying I do NOT want to connect to the company's address .... I want to connect to an alternative smtp server, that I can choose when I send personal emails .... exactly as it works in other email clients, like kmail! [11:05] can I disable everything that has to do with sound ? drivers, etc ? I don't use sound on a computer, and I want to check if that's causing problem with a general protection fault [11:07] ct529: ok, so you have the server setup already, does it have an external ip address taht you can ping at home? If you're not going to be tunneling into the company network via vpn, it has to ahve a public ip address [11:07] Doyle: yes I have that [11:07] umc-work: you could rmmod the sound card modules. [11:08] anyone? [11:08] ct529: and you have the username and password for the mailbox that's setup on the server? [11:08] Baram2: huh? mouse? [11:08] Doyle: yep [11:09] ct529: ok, can you ping the ip address? [11:09] ct529: we'll start with the basics [11:09] Doyle: yep [11:09] yes, updated kernel from repos, now my mouse and keyboard do not work [11:09] ct529: ok, what happens when you plug in all the settings into your amil client exactly? Are you getting an error? [11:09] a few times it prompted me to grant access for them, I did, it asked again, I did... now it doesn't ask and doesn't do anything [11:09] Baram2: ah fun... just a minute [11:10] looks just like this: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454549 [11:10] Dr_Willis: can that be reversed ? do you know any docs that explain how to do that ? I never dealt with stuff like this. I know the codek is Realtek ALC889A. it's an intel sound card [11:10] Doyle: nope, it happens that I have to set a completely new account, whilst I want to use it with the same account [11:10] but their fix is talking about netbook remix and some omnibox(or something) module, neither of which I'm dealing with [11:11] Doyle: one account, two alternative smtp servers .... exactly as in kmail / kontatct [11:11] I am having an issue while building kernel 2.6.32.9. I'm doing make oldconfig && make prepare, but it's giving me the following erros: [11:12] The error the command make oldconfig && make prepare is giving me is as follows: make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'. Stop. [11:12] Doyle: In the tab sending emails I only find the way on setting one smtp server for one account [11:12] It's a tad weird. [11:13] ct529: just add a new account without incoming server, only your alternate smtp server. then when you create mail just choose the "From" dropdown [11:13] ct529: thats right, typically it's one account/one smtp server. You can add multiple accounts to an email client and setup folders for each, or dump all mail into one [11:13] Doyle: is thatv the only solution? [11:13] I installed the splashscreen from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=129696&forumpage=1 but it is only grey for me. Any idea? [11:13] ct529: sweetpi 's suggestion is solid, if the program will accept it with empty fields [11:14] ct529: choose incoming server type "None" [11:14] Doyle: sweetpi: so evolution doe snot actually allow for alternative smtp servers in the same account? that is the reason why I did not find any documentation on google or on th evolution sever [11:14] hey all. I installed a fresh ubuntu server. now i cant use apt http://pastebin.com/BuTknewE === DoubleString is now known as ZNC_DoubleString [11:15] sorry its germany. At the top are my source and then the erros when using apt-get update [11:15] ct529: not that I know of, but I dont use it. I just opened it cause I was tired of you two arguing :p [11:15] ikonia: yep, but the issue is that the install didn't touch the /boot partition. so it loads a 64-bit kernel, but my everything in my install expects 32-bit [11:15] I need to reinstall /boot [11:16] sweetpi: what do you use? [11:16] Baram2: are you on 2.6.32-24? [11:16] never saw this before.....NODATA 1 NODATA 2 signature !??! [11:16] doyle yes [11:16] Baram2: revert [11:16] doyle: 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [11:17] ct529: depends on what im doing.. but thunderbird on gui [11:17] Baram2: revert for now, let them fix it, then update it later [11:17] Doyle yeah... small problem there, ESC key on my keyboard is broken, can't get into GRUB menu [11:17] #bazaar [11:17] Baram2: borrow a keyboard from a friend/neighbor when you have a chance [11:17] doyle there's no work around on this at all? I could just comment it out in the menu.lst [11:18] sweetpi: I actually did not argue, just asked a question .... does thunderbird allow for alternative smtp servers on the same account? I just migrated from KDE to GNOME becaus ethis is what everybody else was using, but I feel constrained by evolution [11:18] Baram2: you can try putting in a line 'pci=noacpi' and see fi that helps [11:18] anyone can help me? [11:18] doyle what's the issue? [11:19] Baram2: ... your mouse doesn't work? [11:19] I installed the splashscreen from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=129696&forumpage=1 but it is only grey for me. Any idea? [11:19] is this a trick question? [11:19] doyle I know my mouse (and keyboard) don't work... I mean what's the problem with this kernel :P [11:19] snoy_ms: wudup? [11:19] Hi any one here I need to discuss an issue with USB internet drivers [11:20] Doyle: http://pastebin.com/BuTknewE [11:20] Doyle: installed a fresh ubuntu server. [11:20] Baram2: ah, the problem is that several people have had this problem and no one has a fix [11:20] Doyle: now i get errors when using apt-get update [11:21] ct529: yeah I understand, I didnt mean you were trying to argue. But someone took it as you were trying to get around a firewall. I knew you wasnt, but I didnt know how to do it in evolution... now I do :) [11:21] Doyle: http://pastebin.com/NdsZ3rsK [11:21] doyle you would think making sure keyboards and mice work would be a basic QA check before release :P [11:21] sweetpi: :-D .... what about thunderbird? [11:21] doyle what else will pci=noacpi effect? [11:21] Baram2: lol I know how you feel but they dont' have every piece of hardware to test with in development [11:22] ct529: thunderbird is basically the same way, except you have a list of outgoing servers and in the accounts you choose a default one [11:22] Baram2: it disables the routing of acpi information on the system bus [11:22] Baram2: Can't get into it, but sometimes it works magic [11:22] doyle I tried two different wireless keyboards, by two very different manufacturers so... seems to be the same bluetooth issue that always crops up in a different manner, in the past it was simple enough to just unplug and replug [11:24] snoy_ms: try this http://pastebin.com/ZMh3h9wD [11:24] Is it possible to watch a some files in a folder. If a something i change in the folder, a callback is being kicked on [11:25] doyle: boot option did nothing [11:25] Baram2: bluetooth, tell me one of those keyboards is a wired usb [11:25] doyle: I have one old PS2 keyboard I keep around for when things just don't work, other than that I have 2 bluetooth sets, normally only one in use (synergy between the two systems) [11:26] Doyle: same problem..... "GPG error:" [11:26] Baram2: ok, how about this, teh grub list should have an entry for each version kernel available on your system, just select the old one as the default by manually editing it [11:26] sweetpi: I like that! [11:27] i [11:27] snoy_ms: ah ok, got ya [11:27] doyle was just about to reboot it again, after commenting out the new -24, which leaves the -22 I had before [11:28] snoy_ms: run these in order [11:28] ikonia: Cacti looks good, but Im lost with configuring the network device.

The SECOND ONE [11:31] ohh [11:31] so, camn I reliably assume the i686 is a 32bit system? [11:31] i will reply after trying thanks in advance!!! [11:31] is there a more definitive way?

[11:32] JohnHeikkila: You remember 286, 386, 486, 586, etc? [11:32] ct529: yw [11:32] JohnHeikkila, they are intel architectures for their chipsets, age, etc, see ubuntu having a 686 compile target, also though, see "how computers work" - what I want to know is, in WikiSpeak, WhyHasNobodyFixedThisSoICanFindOutWhatMachineThisServerIs? [11:32] doyle umm... uname verifies I'm on -22, and I still get the same thing and the same error message... [11:32] the CPUs are still compatible with the old i386 binaries still [11:32] Flannel: I don't think I'm old enough to remember [11:32] kay [11:32] JohnHeikkila, My mac is a wall mounted clock [11:32] Bummer.

So first we had 286, etc, etc. So, the 386 version assumes you're at least using a 386. The 686 assumes you're using at least a 686 (686 had some more features than 386, it makes use of those, and assumes you won't be using a processor without them) [11:33] What command can I run?

[12:14] tarabaz: s/irsii/irssi [12:14] hsr: any directory I right click in the tree view (list view in nautilus) doesn't let me create a new directory under that one. not one.

[12:15] hey chaps. having trouble removing a package:- http://pastebin.ca/1934219 any tips? [12:15] industrial: Are you able to create in other views?

And if not how could I go about it? [12:31] streamtuner dosent seem to work right with Shoutcast any more. :( [12:31] mrbeany: system - prefrences - keyboard shortcuts , out of intrest why ?

[12:32] I have kidz that dont understand shortcuts [12:32] how do I get a list of users of the os in cli? [12:32] they are playing and game and then all of a sudden the computer starts shutting down or something [12:32] mrbeany: if there desktop users then just disable any real shortcuts they may screw up with and edit the main menu to remove system menu [12:32] gryllida: depends on what exactly you want to do. "ls /home" might be enough, if not, read /etc/passwd [12:33] mrbeany - you might need compiz-config-settings-manager to disable all of Compiz's shortcuts too... [12:33] gryllida: type users [12:33] (or dig around in gconf :)) ) [12:33] is there some nice X editor that has block select mode?

[12:34] fubarbundy: thanks [12:35] mrbeany: http://pastebin.com/08r39Vq2 is what I have in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0. You could look into that (you'll have to read gtk docs). You may be interested in gtk-enable-accels [12:35] how do I change user's password in cli? [12:35] mrbeany: Ubuntu made it to where you cant disable some plugins, like move, resize and decoration [12:36] jrib: thanks will look into it [12:36] gryllida, passwd command [12:36] ok [12:36] mrbeany: that basically disables the shortcuts you see in the menus (the underlined keys) [12:36] soreau: I dont want to disable the plugins themselves, I just want to disable the shortcuts [12:38] mrbeany: then figure out whatever shortcut it is, then go to ccsm>preferences and click on the keyboard icon in the Filter box, then press the keybinding to see if its bound to anything in ccsm [12:38] argh [12:38] what was the name of the KDE control panel that could be installed on gnome?

So I updated all the related packages and I still cant see it [12:45] brakim, you're better off downloading the cd version. The dvd version mainly has language packs that you don't really need.

I don't know 100% but it worked for me. [12:49] Anyone able to help?

[12:50] stealth_: only amarok? [12:50] yeah [12:50] I been using this fine on youtube [12:50] headkase314 but ubuntu-10.04-dvd-amd64.iso is the right version [12:50] stealth_: check its preferences for some output options?

[12:51] stealth_: I think there's a #amarok, try that [12:51] does anybody know how often the irc logs are updated? [12:51] ok mate [12:51] brakim, for the dvd yes. For the cd you would get the 64-bit from here -> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [12:51] i just disconnected and i would like to see was my question answered [12:51] brendan-k: there's a small delay, just check what the most recent entry is for the #ubuntu log [12:52] brendan-k: the last thing you said here was "the beta is ready ..."

It will work in the settings but it will not work at all when I try to play music out of it. I know there is a way to do it but cant find the guide. Anyone able to help? ( I tried #amarok and nobodys spoke for the last 3 hours so yeah) [13:02] Thats the only directory setting Tunapie seems to have. :) [13:03] stealth_: perhaps twiddle with the pulse audio settings [13:03] Dr_Willis: yeah.. got that.. Thanks. But Unfortunately, i cannot add any radio stream as with streamtuner [13:04] hsr: learn the streamripper tool that both are using as a backend. then you dont need tunapie or streamtuner [13:05] vlc can record streams also i recall [13:05] Hey guys, what would be causing this sort of error when I boot my computer?

[13:06] elzoog: its saying your sr0 = Optical drive has ' Incompatible medium installed [13:06] elzoog: so DO you have a disk in teh drive? [13:06] elzoog: You must be having a CD inserted [13:07] Dr. I think I have a CD in, but why would that matter? [13:07] can anyone tell me how to organize the software in ubuntu software centere from most popular to least popular like you used to be able to do? [13:07] jrib: by the looks of things they are updated on the hour every hour [13:07] elzoog: its talking abouyt your CD drive. pop the disk out and see if you get the same error. [13:07] elzoog: thats why it matters [13:07] brendan-k: I see [13:07] Yeah correct [13:07] Wouldn't sr0 mean the hard drive? [13:07] jrib: thanks for helping [13:07] elzoog: sr0 is my cdrom/dvd drive here [13:08] sdXX is my hard drives [13:08] Dr. is it safe to ignore the message? [13:08] ls -l /dev/cdrom [13:08] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-09-06 06:12 /dev/cdrom -> sr0 [13:08] elzoog: its just a warning.... about the optical drive.. [13:08] Dr. Okay [13:08] elzoog: as i said.. take the disk out.. see if it goes away [13:08] elzoog: ls -l /dev/cdrom [13:08] >is it save to ignore the message [13:09] it usually never is [13:09] oh that was typed [13:09] sorry for the repetition but "the beta is ready for your feedback" is written on the ubuntu homepage [13:09] can somebody please tell me where can one give this feedback? [13:09] Ok, I see the problem now. I put a lightscribe DVD in to burn a label on the back side but never got around to it. [13:09] can anyone tell me how to organize the software in ubuntu software centere from most popular to least popular like you used to be able to do? [13:09] !maverick | brendan-k [13:09] brendan-k: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [13:09] Thanks Dr. I was worried that it was complaining about my hard drive [13:10] ?! [13:10] headkase314: thank you [13:10] brendan-k, you're welcome! ;) [13:11] no one knows? [13:11] Hi! [13:11] hi [13:12] shalom [13:12] !il | Elba [13:12] Elba: לשיחות בשפה העברית ולגישה לקהילת המשתמשים העברית אנא הקלד: [13:12] /join #ubuntu-il [13:13] hi [13:13] * Gnea is pretty sure he has no clue [13:13] i need all packages for install vbox on pc whitout internet. [13:13] can anyone tell me how to organize the software in ubuntu software centere from most popular to least popular like you used to be able to do? [13:14] That's neat. I know a few places that could use that, as Arabic/Hindi/Hebrew/etc. isn't generally spoken throughout the development community [13:14] Hi, is it possible to record audio and listen to it simultaneously via the speakers / headphones ? [13:15] i need all packages for install vbox on pc whitout internet. can help me? [13:15] dhruvasagar: That would become mike (minus the recording) :) [13:15] dhruvasagar: That would become mic (minus the recording) :) [13:15] dhruvasagar: yes [13:15] hsr: actually I am recording by connecting my guitar directly to the system...not using a mic, so... [13:16] has anyone heard of anybody being able to put a full distro on a linux picture frame like the HP DreamScreen 100 [13:16] Elba: how !? [13:16] pie_time, not available as far as I know; perhaps you mean gnome-app-install which does have that [13:16] adminio, which version of vbox? the one with usb support or not [13:17] in essence I want to hear exactly what is being recorded...how is that possible !? [13:17] dhruvasagar: I don't use Linux for stuff like that, so I dunno. My guess? You'd record it and then send it to the speakers. However, one should raise the question of why you want to do this [13:17] dhruvasagar: For whaT? [13:18] bazhang, does gnomeappinstall have all the new programs? [13:18] Elba: as I said, I am recording by connecting my guitar to the PC directly, so as I am recording I want to be able to hear it too.. [13:18] hsr: what do you mean for what ? [13:18] wouldn't you like to hear the guitar as you play too ? [13:18] dhruvasagar: Got from your reply to Elba.. lemme see how i can help [13:19] dhruvasagar: yeah, that's why we, as humans, have evolved to have ears [13:19] bazhang, does gnomeappinstall have all the new programs? [13:19] Elba: but what I hear is different from what is being recorded...(slightly) [13:20] pie_time, no idea, never use it; try it perhaps and find out? [13:20] bazhang, how could i test it [13:20] Elba: especially if I connect some pedals for distortion before I feed it to my PC [13:20] pie_time, by installing it? [13:20] hello! I need help, my wlan internet connection is much to slow, can someone help me? [13:21] jochenh: how slow is it?! [13:21] jochenh: pay for a faster connection ? [13:21] bazhang, what software should i search for to test it [13:21] about 1mbit [13:21] jochenh: probably the signal is too weak [13:21] magnetron, signal is about 25-50% [13:22] jochenh: try to force link spped to higher (may or may not work) [13:22] jochenh: yes [13:22] Elba: like for example, when your recording video, isn't it better to see what's being recorded live !?, Just like that I want to hear the music I am recording live....is that really so absurd ? [13:22] simlexio, how can I do that? [13:22] dhruvasagar: No its not.. Just hold on [13:23] dhruvasagar: It could be. I play the keyboard, so everything I hear from the keyboard is the same on the piano. How is it different on your computer than in your own ears? [13:23] hsr: sure [13:23] simplexio, how can I do that? [13:23] dhruvasagar: what are you using to record ? [13:23] bazhang, what software should i search for to test it [13:24] Elba: electric guitars don't produce music by themselves, their signals are amplified and processed by amplifiers & fed to speakers, in my case, I am connecting it directly to the computer & not to an amplifier..... [13:24] glebihan: audacity [13:24] pie_time, its called gnome-app-install [13:24] jochenh: man iwconfig [13:25] can anyone recommend software that would erase all my data on my computer if someone makes several failed attempts to login? [13:25] bazhang, no kidding! lol bazhang im just trying to ask you, once i have it installed, what new software that only exists in 10.04 can i search for to make sure its up to date? :) [13:25] yakamo: wtf ? [13:25] simplexio, I tried iwconfig ra0 rate 54m [13:25] Would it be possible to flash the modded linux on a HP DreamScreen 100 and put another distro on it ? [13:25] dhruvasagar, watch the language [13:25] yakamo: that is a very very very bad idea [13:25] yakamo: that's a really messed up request lol [13:25] yakamo, just encrypt it. That way if they don't know the password they'll never get it. [13:25] siimplexio, but that didnt help [13:25] yakamo: why would you want to do that ??? [13:25] yakamo: i can foresee some amusing failure modes for such a setup [13:26] bazhang: ok [13:26] yakamo: if i want i would delete all your stuff by just login with wrong password [13:26] dhruvasagar: Please follow proper etiquette [13:26] hsr: :), alright [13:26] i have a laptop and i just want to ensure my data is safe [13:26] yakamo: full disk encryption [13:27] !encryption > yakamo [13:27] erUSUL: will that take extra time for boot [13:27] yakamo: hardware level encryption is also an option... [13:27] yakamo: security has its costs [13:27] yakamo, during install where the installer asks whether you want to log on automatically or require a password there is a third option which creates an encrypted home folder. Use that option and nobody will ever get your data if your laptop is lost/stolen. [13:27] a whole 5+ more sec to boot.. vs... [13:28] headkase314: ah ok i will do that, just like the idea of my data being wiped out [13:28] erUSUL, someone could just boot into his system using their own kernel [13:28] dhruvasagar: Sorry but as far as i recall there used to be one third party software for your specific needs which i had in my softwares,, iwas trying to recall the name. I couldn't even find it in my softwares. Someone in this channel may help you soon! [13:28] hsr: sure :) [13:28] but curious question would that screw up my drop box data [13:28] pie_time: if the disk is encrypted that "someone" needs the passphrase [13:28] yakamo: would what screw it up.. [13:29] yakamo, that is secure enough. Encryption cannot be cracked right now. In another ten years or so when quantum computers come online then and only then will encryption be crackable. [13:29] Dr_Willis: Thanks for your help... ciao [13:29] rot13 your data. No one will ever guess that. :) [13:29] hsr: have fun.. im watching Futureama on tunapie :) [13:29] bazhang, no kidding! lol bazhang im just trying to ask you, once i have it installed, what new software that only exists in 10.04 can i search for to make sure its up to date? :) [13:29] Dr_Willis: my drop box is in the home folder [13:29] Hi guys, when I login, windows do not have borders or title bar and they come up in the top left corner, I can't do much. [13:29] Dr_Willis: Yeah i learnt its back... Great! [13:30] so it would encrypt that data as well [13:30] which would be much use to me on another device [13:30] yakamo: its also mounted/syncned. so i doubt if it will get encrypted On the dropbox storage [13:30] yakamo: but the encryption guide proberly mentions this. [13:30] The only sol I have found so far is, I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effect -> Select Extra, for which it takes 3-4 seconds and after that everything is normal... [13:31] erUSUL, people in debian told me you would need a kernel kept on an external media source for the encrypted system to be safe [13:31] if you mount a usb to /home/username/stuff and they have an encrypted home.. does the stuff on the usb get encrypted as well..... === acuster_food is now known as acuster [13:31] hi. ive been running ubuntu server 10.04 for a bit over month now. i use it as fileserver on my lan, its also running openssh-server. everything seems to work fine... but i think the server load averages are bit too high, for system only running samba & openssh-server. load avarages are anything between 1.00 - 1.20. most of the times its 1.00. got 4gb ram and pentium 2.8ghz installed.. any ideas what might cause that load? [13:31] greetings [13:31] hi every one, i'm using ubuntu desktop 10.04 and in the panel there is a mail icon after i click mail icon i'm seeing "set mail" i want revome it from panel ? [13:31] How can I use ion3 with two monitors, configured using xrandr [13:32] dhruvasagar: about your audio recording, did you try checking the "Software playthrough" option in the "Recording" section of the preferences ? [13:32] pie_time: i think you lost me. full disk encryption needs a separate boot that is not encrypted ( for grub). that's all [13:32] hello? [13:32] any1 here?? [13:32] Kris92: no [13:32] !ask | Kris92 [13:32] Kris92: 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. :-) [13:32] gezegenci: be carefull if you right click/remove - you will remove the whole Indiactor applet. I did see some gmail notifier that used that Mail Icon to check your gmail. if thats what you perfer. [13:33] hi there [13:33] i have serious preoblem .... my friend just deleted by accident his ~/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db .. is there any way to restore it? something like internal safety trash or so .. [13:33] Dr_Willis: i want revome set mail how can i do ? [13:33] nettezzaumana: how did he delete it? by putting it in the trash can? [13:34] gezegenci: some info here -> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/how-to-remove-social-network-features.html [13:34] Hello. I have a problem. Samba don't read CUPS printcap at boot. Help [13:34] Dr_Willis: i'm reading thanks [13:34] glebihan: hi, you mean in audacity ? I will look it up! sounds like what I need :) [13:34] heloooooo [13:34] dhruvasagar: yes in audacity [13:35] Kris92, ubuntu support question? [13:35] magnetron: no, by pressing some button *in evolution* because he titillated it that evolution asked inane Q: "do you want to remove your addressbook" ? [13:35] glebihan: yea seems nice, I will try that tonight :), I hope it works [13:35] gezegenci: there used to be about 30 comments on that url also that give other neat tips.. but they aparently all got reset [13:36] glebihan: thanks :) [13:36] dhruvasagar: you're welcome [13:36] Dr_Willis: i don't want remove mail icon i want remove in mail icon "Set mail" or "S" [13:36] i've got lucid installed, but i need the package libg2c0 (available apparently in jaunty and below).. is there a way to figure if it was moved to some other package name, in which case, what? [13:37] gezegenci: no idea then. i got the icon set to do my gmail. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/gmailwatcher-another-way-to-get-gmail-alerts-in-the-ubuntu-messaging-menu/ [13:37] Dr_Willis: thanks [13:37] dhruvasagar: about your other issue, looks like your windows manager crashes at startup, are you using compiz ? [13:37] He have this message "segfault at bf093fc8 ip 00a671f5 sp bf093fcc error 6 in libc-2.11.1.so[a0b000+142000]". someone would have solved this problem and how ? [13:37] glebihan: yeap [13:37] Im not even sure what i installed to get the gmail in my Mail indicator :) i need it for some other machines [13:38] glebihan: actually I even have a bug filed for compiz...but no response by anyone in that [13:38] dhruvasagar: could you try "compiz --replace" in a terminal and see what output you get ? [13:38] hey everyone [13:39] glebihan: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/dhruva/.compiz/session/10f0b452f559b49b12837529358654100000018000008" [13:39] Dr_Willis: How are you able to open MRL in tunapie? [13:39] Can anyone tell me how to change the firefox icon or rhythmbox icon on my Panel? Top Panel??? [13:39] redbullfx: right click on it and choose propertie [13:39] dhruvasagar: Does dmesg show anything interesting at this point? [13:40] redbullfx, right click properties, click on icon [13:40] hsr: i just use tunapie to watch video streams the browser finds normally. [13:40] hsr: then i tell it to record those. [13:40] Dr_Willis: browser? [13:40] iceroot, I dont have Icon there [13:40] dhruvasagar: do you really want to use compiz or would metacity fill your needs ? [13:40] i have launcher properties [13:40] hsr: yes the tunapie stream browser thats 80% of the interface. :) [13:41] glebihan: I would like to use compiz...unless metacity can have the 'extra' visual effects [13:41] tunapie just shows all the streams thats its main feature. the rest of the work it hands off to the backend tools. audcaious, or streamripper [13:41] Dr_Willis: yeah. But the TV interface opens vlc and vlc gives error as - Your input can't be opened: [13:41] VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://85.236.103.28:6000'. Check the log for details. [13:41] Dr_Willis: wowow t's amazing thanks again (gmail) [13:41] dhruvasagar: no metacity doesn't [13:42] dhruvasagar: hold on, looking if I can find something to help [13:42] soreau: what would be interesting? do you want to see the output !? [13:42] gezegenci: theres like 3 apps that do that.. but they are really not that complex. but at least with them i dont have to keep a browser open, or run some other applets in the panel [13:43] Dr_Willis: What should i do in that case? [13:43] btw, if it helps, please have a look at this - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/625112 [13:43] Here is what i have. I added the rhythmbox to my panel for one click Launch. But i would like to change the icon. Cant find it?? [13:43] Lucid [13:43] dhruvasagar: you may try installing fusion-icon [13:44] 'Happy Labour Day' folks [13:44] dhruvasagar: it solved some issues with compiz for me some time ago (I'm not using compiz anymore) [13:44] glebihan: was that really for me !?

[13:45] glebihan: actually another interesting thing is, I use guake, and I like it to be transparent, but its not transparent anymore...I just see my wallpaper behind it, not the actual open windows etc... [13:45] soreau: hmm [13:45] soreau: any suggestions ? [13:45] dhruvasagar: Try this: Start compiz, then close all open windows and go to sys>prefs>startup>options and click remember currently running apps === ZNC_DoubleString is now known as DoubleString [13:46] hey all [13:46] hi this is ashwani [13:46] soreau: hmmm [13:47] soreau: what about completely deleting /home/dhruva/.compiz/session folder !?

[14:00] W7 networking is awful, RainRain [14:00] amit: ok [14:00] hello? [14:00] I am a beginner to ubuntu [14:01] BluesKaj: i can imagine that you might - but i dont have time for unlocking things that i dont need unlocked ---- and also i find app installation draconian [14:01] Can anybody tell me simply how to get rid of old operating systems? [14:01] Hello. I just installed ubuntu 10.04 and it freezes after it has completely loaded randomly. I have to reboot system everytime it happens. It does not freeze when I boot "Failsafe Gnome". I am running ubuntu allongside windows [14:02] Solved: old kernel versions? [14:02] i'd like to ask one of the oldest questions to date...... nvidia or ati? [14:02] hello! I cant open http://www.ralinktech.com, can anybody? [14:02] amit: virtual disks creation can take a really long time, are you sure it crashed ? [14:02] BluesKaj: by the way i hadnt heard about w7 networiking - is it a prob for very simple net connection ( just to a router ) or is it with big network administaration or something [14:02] draconian? heh, that's funny ...where in windows can you find repository with add free apps that just work ? RainRain [14:02] glebihan.. Yes I waited for 2 hours [14:02] It does not move [14:02] Solved: 9.04 is an ubuntu version not kernel. what are you trying to do ? [14:02] I download 9.04 a while ago and I cant get it to boot so i want to get rid of it [14:03] Solved: upgrade? from 9.04 to something newer? [14:03] when I cancelled and restarted the pc, Ubuntu was there in boot menu [14:03] Solved, 10.04 or 9.04 [14:03] no i have 10.04 and 9.04 now [14:03] Solved: just install a newer version on top of it. [14:03] but 9.04 doesnt work [14:03] I allready have a newer version [14:03] Solved, you are dual booting 9.04 and 10.04? [14:03] hello! I cant open http://www.ralinktech.com, can anybody? [14:03] I selected to boot using ubuntu, It initialized and at the point of setting partition it warn me [14:03] hey, i am having trouble doing a pre-seed install of lucid. The preseed file syntax is fine, i checked by debconf-set-selections -c". [14:04] BluesKaj: actually i think the repository is brilliant - but it's the 3 or 4 ( i havent figured it out yet ) ways of installing things, certain apps need multiple lines to be added to files - my journey to get all the apps i need working has been pretty harrowing compared to double click and run wizzard [14:04] Solved: then just fomat the partitions of the older version so you can use them for storing data [14:04] amit: are you installing wubi on a fat32 partition ? [14:04] RainRain, mostly windows machines all on the same network requiring W7 to comunicate..for instance vista and w7 need to belog to the same homegrouop , a pita to set up [14:04] yes [14:04] Solved: gparted can be used for that [14:04] !gparted | Solved [14:04] Solved: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

ATI or Nvidia? right now i have an ATI x1300 [14:04] amit: in that case, you won't be able to create virtual disks bigger than 4GB [14:04] ok [14:04] thanks [14:04] amit: it's really recommne [14:05] amit: it's really recommended to install on ntfs partition [14:05] oh.. [14:05] thanks glebihan [14:05] amit: you're welcome [14:05] can I format the partition at the time of installation of Ubuntu? [14:05] RainRain, what apps are you trying to install ? [14:05] @LincKraker, Nvidia [14:05] BluesKaj: will remember that tip[ thanks - i have an xp machine that i'll be connecting to .... but actually the main problem with ubuntu for me is that my server is running xp and has a NDAS drive attached - connecting to this seems borderline impossible [14:05] I have 27 gb space for ubuntu [14:06] sipior, thanks! [14:06] I selected to install 20 gb [14:06] amit: never used wubi, but I don't think so, you should format the partition before installing ubuntu [14:06] llua: are you sayin nvidia is better supported? or are you making a personal suggestion? [14:06] @LincKraker, little of both. [14:06] llua: :) nVidia it is [14:06] BluesKaj: i think i;ve installed about 30 programs for work -- some were easy but the overall process seems a bit over the top sometimes - ( some of the programs were really hard to get going compared to their windows versions [14:07] @LincKraker, just a card imo. :| [14:07] sipior, its up but there is a error on the page, or not? [14:07] RainRain: and how much did you pay for them ? [14:07] jochenh: i've no idea [14:08] pfg: all free [14:08] RainRain: worth the time then ; ) [14:08] jochenh: yes there is an error on the page, but this has nothing to do with Ubuntu [14:08] thanks glebihan you helped me a lot [14:08] pfg: yes but the windows versions are also free [14:08] bye [14:08] amit: you're welcome :) [14:08] hi all, I'm trying to debug this over the phone: we have a huaweiu e1820 3g modem we cannot find the device file to, how sdo I find it? [14:09] RainRain: ah, oh well, no adverts, spyware or other shit ? [14:09] pfg: of course windows is not itself but i'm not convinced [14:09] pfg, language please [14:09] RainRain, ok so you're talking about a work environment , something aai haven't had to deal with. I think I can understand the challenges there. [14:09] RainRain: thats life, security alone dude [14:09] glebihan, thanks [14:09] pfg: no i mean for instance an opensource windows version being easier to install than it's ubuntu version ( not equivolent ) [14:09] BlueEagle: we are all Linux Ubuntu, all 500 of us and we love this shit :D [14:10] pfg, stop the cursing [14:10] anyone know of an open source way to create a virtual display? [14:10] bazhang: thats cursing ? you should meet my mother... [14:10] pfg, keep it g-rated. [14:10] :/ [14:10] i have added pkgsel/include in the preseed file, but it is not installing those packages. [14:10] I have a problem. My wireless -> http://pastebin.com/NsCrzSdN seems to freeze every once in a while. When I lose the connection everything becomes unresponsive and eventually the display will turn to vertical bars and I have to power cycle the computer. Any other information I should provide? Laptop, Acer Aspire 5100. [14:11] BluesKaj: yes i think for personal ubuntu would be the king but not convinced in a complex work environment,,,,, but hey ,,,,, im still here !!! [14:11] I am following this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/amd64/preseed-contents.html [14:11] what's the alternate to compiz !? [14:11] pfg, I'm on both gnome and kde , so I'm a believer :) [14:11] bazhang: ah, fair enough [14:11] can I have transparency in metacity !? [14:11] not without compiz [14:12] BlueEagle: cool as the ROI is incredible [14:12] gardar: ok, is there any alternative to compiz ? [14:12] RainRain, one thing , ubuntu networking is superior in many ways to windows ...daughter has a mac and her printer is being used as a network printer for my 2 linuxboxes [14:12] dhruvasager yes, turn it on in gconf-editor [14:12] pfg: might want to check your tab-complete there... [14:12] dhruvasagar: Actually, you can enable metacity compositing [14:13] soreau: compositing ? [14:13] !iptables > Oer [14:13] Oer, please see my private message [14:13] sipior: :D correct, thanks [14:13] fixed channel mon0 : -1 [14:13] BluesKaj: thanks - i'll def keep the networking thing in mind [14:13] xmu, support question? [14:14] RainRain, all OSs have their quirks and drawbacks , it's a matter of what leaves you the least frustrated :) [14:14] Hello, I have a question [14:15] I have ubuntu installed on my netbook, It only boots when I have key activity. [14:15] BluesKaj: never a truer word spoken !!! [14:15] can anyone please help me with ubuntu preseed install? [14:15] dhruvasagar: using gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager [14:15] when i use aircrack-ng , i come accross the problem _ "fixed channel mon0: -1" on the right top and then when i start aireplay , theres "the AP's channel is 9 but ..is -1"" [14:15] dhruvasagar: this should enable metacity compositing, for basic shadows and transparency [14:15] soreau: checkin [14:16] xmu, try #aircrack-ng [14:16] bazhang, yes , i'm now using aircrack-ng [14:17] xmu, that's a channel. /join #aircrack-ng [14:17] soreau: ok, how do I switch to metacity from compiz ? [14:17] bazhang, ok :D thx [14:17] dhruvasagar: set the visual effects to None [14:18] soreau: done [14:18] soreau: the guake window is transparent, so does that mean transparency in metacity is working ? [14:18] dhruvasagar: yea [14:19] Hey, trying to compile a Java program (not in repos, no .debs etc.) and ant crashes saying my "compliance level" of Java is 1.5 when I have 1.6. [14:19] soreau: ok thanks a lot man, i'll reboot and confirm if things are fine at boot [14:19] dhruvasagar: It will only allow for programs that already have transparency support. It cant make any window transparent like compiz [14:19] brb [14:19] soreau: ok [14:19] Dr_Willis: There? === xmu is now known as wowoto [14:22] can i somehow check if preseed file is being parsed? Or debug the whole process? [14:23] Hey guys - im having a seriously annoying mouse problem - tried asking on forums, tried lots of google and tried asking one of my Linux friends...basically, it's wireless and keeps randomly disconnecting and wont reconnect...but this does not happen in windows! [14:24] Is it possible to rename old operating systems? [14:24] in the list of operating systems to boot [14:24] Solved: Yes [14:25] Solved: yes you have to edit grub configuration files [14:25] Solved: are you using grub1 or grub2 [14:25] Solved: edit the /boot/grub/menu.list or /boot/grub/grub.conf file [14:25] Solved: Its advisable to not to, but you can do that by findind grub-config files [14:25] !grub2 | Solved [14:25] Solved: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [14:26] Solved: It would be better to follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [14:27] Solved: also see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [14:27] any ideas? [14:27] Solved: /boot/grub/grub.cfg* [14:28] matrixblue, you dont edit that directly, ever [14:30] matrixblue: read the top of that file :) [14:30] Whenever my wireless internet disconnects and tries to reconnect it eventually freezes the computer with vertical bars displayed and I must power cycle. lshw for wireless -> http://pastebin.com/NsCrzSdN thinking it is a resource conflict I just did this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9323832&postcount=1 (added model=acer to modprobe) and this gives me an additional microphone in my sound audio setting [14:30] s. So, is there anything else I can do or do I now wait to see if it freezes again? [14:31] bazhang, jrib: Point taken [14:32] hey everyone here that can help me out? [14:32] Keith_, ask a question [14:33] headkase314: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [14:33] i am doing the switch over from windows 7 to ubuntu netbook, and i tred it twice and it wont work... [14:33] headkase314: it invariably freezes when you disconnect and then reconnect the wireless network? no other time? [14:33] i am using the iso and saving it to the usb drive....but when i get to the screen to intsall it dowsnt move [14:34] matrixblue, Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only enabled (my first attempt to fix the freezing) and everything else out of the box, just installed around 3 days ago. [14:34] headkase314: the fact that the video behaves strangely would seem to point to a deeper root cause. does the machine get especially hot? [14:34] windows 7 starter isnt working for me [14:34] !usb | Keith_ [14:34] Keith_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:34] Hey guys - im having a seriously annoying mouse problem - tried asking on forums, tried lots of google and tried asking one of my Linux friends...basically, it's wireless and keeps randomly disconnecting and wont reconnect...but this does not happen in windows! <--- no-one any ideas?? Im doing CS at uni so really want to actually be able to use Ubuntu well!! [14:34] headkase314: YOu should use the 32-bit edition unless you have more than 4 gigs of RAM [14:34] sipior, it is dual boot with Vista and the other OS does not exhibit any issues when booted. [14:35] yes i did follow them ijust and confused [14:35] i want to use eubuntu can i install the eubuntu desktop ? sudo apt-get install ???? [14:35] matrixblue, I know 32-bit is recommended but 64-bit gives 3-4% performance improvement at a cost of a small increase in storage requirements. [14:35] hi, which version of JACK is in Maverick? JACK1 or JACK2 ? [14:36] both iirc [14:36] Arthur___, sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop [14:36] sletz, try in #ubuntu+1 [14:36] ok its edubuntu dua thanks! [14:36] headkase314: Understood but it could be a problem with incompatible drivers [14:36] sletz: apt-cache policy jack [14:36] jack: [14:36] Installed: (none) Candidate: 3.1.1+cvs20050801-26 Version table: 3.1.1+cvs20050801-26 0 [14:36] sipior, the freeze is always preceded by losing my wireless internet connection and then it trying to reconnect [14:36] philinux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:37] * philinux dont know how that happened [14:37] matrixblue, the wireless drivers are built-in. There are no drivers listed in "Hardware Drivers" and wireless works straight from install and in a live session as well. [14:38] headkase314: ah, so you're not turning off the connection. the loss of wireless is a symptom, not a cause. does anything interesting turn up in your logs that corresponds to the timing of the crashes? [14:38] sipior, which log would you like me to pastebin? [14:39] headkase314: i'm not scrounging through your logs for you. have a look in /var/log/messages to start, and match the times up with when the machine was known to be behaving strangely. [14:39] sipior, ok thanks. Will look in that log now. [14:40] headkase314: also, does the machine always crash after a certain amount of time? [14:40] everytime I do the universal program for the ubuntu progrss it keeps saying stuff like file invalid or what no...is it possible to hook my netbook to my desktop and just transger? my windows 7 crashed and it just loads the boot page [14:42] hey u free for some assistance === satan is now known as Guest18489 [14:43] Hello.. Is anyone els having the problem with your torrent client freezing, or freezing while your watching a youtube videos, or ptretty much downloading anything makes my box freeze bad now... [14:43] It started after I upgraded to 10.04 [14:43] sipior, I do not know what I am looking for in those logs. I just modified my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and added the line: "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" and that gives me an additional microphone in my sound properties. I did this because I think it is a resource conflict. I came across that setting in an unrelated issue and have now reapplied it and I guess I'll just have to wait and see if my laptop fr [14:43] eezes again. [14:44] Keith_, dual booting ? [14:44] hi there [14:45] i am new to this all "ubuntu" thing [14:45] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/574152 can any user assist me? [14:45] I have an Acer Aspire 5100 and have not been able to get the built-in microphone working (that was the previous issue I came across that setting with and no-one else has succeeded in getting the internal mic working either. So I undid the setting and now just reapplied it) [14:45] does anyone know about unable live media image? [14:45] should i just reinstall a older version of ubuntu? [14:45] neru: Ask away [14:45] TxMatt: Try Deluge it's in the repo [14:45] is macromedia flash available for this OS [14:45] headkase314: the log messages are individually timestamped. do any messages appear immediately before a time when the machine was known to be acting strangely? when did this behaviour start, by the way? (recently, i take it?) [14:46] neru: Yes [14:46] gah keyboard interfering with mouse again [14:46] I've used about 5 diff torrent clients, they all seem to freeze up for some reason..ths has never happened before while running a ubuntu os.. [14:46] sipior, I just installed about 2 days ago and the issue is intermittent enough that it has likely been present the entire time. [14:46] idk if it was a update that caused it or what [14:46] neru: Browse a site that needs it and the os will offer to install it. [14:47] No i want to completely get rid of windows 7 [14:47] oh ok thanks :D [14:47] and ive reformated a couple times to, without added the updates.. [14:47] didn't help [14:47] can anyone help me fix my problem with my usb keyboard preventing my usb mouse from responding\ [14:47] i just tried again and didnt work [14:48] TxMatt: try a differnt torrent client. or throttle it down perhaps? [14:48] yo [14:49] sup guys [14:49] * neru o) [14:49] philinux [14:49] Dr_Willis: I've tried that, my connection spped is 12mbs and i knocked my download speed to only 300K/bs, still didn't help.. [14:50] it would freeze my whole box [14:50] still [14:50] TxMatt you're a loser [14:50] Screw ubuntu, GET A LIFE [14:50] Geeeeeeeeeeez [14:50] no im a loser !!

[14:51] other people on forums have been having the same problem so i'm not the only one. [14:51] TxMatt: ive found its often the Upload speeds that lag my machines [14:51] does anyone know about unable live media image? [14:52] TxMatt: ive also been using the latest Deluge from PPA's thats been working very well for me [14:52] sipior, thank you for the responses. Next time it freezes I will check /var/log/messages right away. Are there any other specific logs I should check? If not then I'll have to consider this all the help I can receive until it happens again.. [14:53] I'll try it again, right now.. [14:53] TxMatt, this fallacy that certain clients are faster than is just that , it's how you configure the client bandwidth and NAT that determines your speeds ..make sure your router opens the same ports in the client [14:53] dum de dum what a way! [14:53] guys can someone please tell me how to install linux on my mac [14:53] Its not only the torrents, its when i unrar, install updates, eveything that has to do with downloading..

[14:54] when i do the universal usb drive for ubuntu..it comes up with a window that says a whole lot of things file broken [14:54] any ideas [14:54] DeathCubeK, be more specific. Is there a specific problem you are having? [14:54] `make[1]: lex: Command not found' -- what package can I install to fix it?

[14:55] any ideas [14:56] sup [14:56] see, even while downlaoding deluge from the repos it freezes.. [14:56] =\ [14:56] TxMatt, then you have a networking issue [14:57] my dl is 12mbs it shouldnt take longer then 2/3 minunts to dl it.. [14:57] hey how do i connect to another irc like irc.awesomeric.net? [14:57] Is it correct, that i can just use special programs if i connect 2 computers for grid distribution? [14:57] sipior, I just checked that log. In both that and messages there appears a line: "Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -249305204 ns)" perhaps that is it? I just changed a hardware configuration for the sound (gives me an additional microphone which is correct) so I think I should wait and see now and if it happens again check both those logs and come back? [14:57] Yerah, I'm about to call these tards and bitch... [14:57] yeah* [14:57] hey u free?

[14:59] I need HELP i have school work to do and i cant get ubuntu on my netbook...my windows 7 crashed....does anyone here have yahoo messenger so we can speak? [14:59] calling my isp right now....

So, again, thank you.

[15:16] pkkm, DeVeDe [15:16] my webcam is not working [15:16] !info DeVeDe [15:16] Package DeVeDe does not exist in lucid [15:16] lol [15:16] !info devede | headkase314 [15:16] headkase314: devede (source: devede): simple application to create Video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.16.8-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 1976 kB, installed size 4024 kB [15:16] i cannot use my logitech webcam with skype under ubuntu 9.10, this has been so for some of the previous releases too, although it worked fine under 8.04, is it only my impression that ubuntu is actually getting worse? [15:16] hp mini 110 [15:16] headkase314: Package names are case-sensitive. [15:16] hello, i have conected a windows computer to my router via wi-fi, how can i watch what he has inside via terminal? [15:16] pkkm: i wonder why they dont work. most are just front ends to the various backend tools [15:16] Thanks Pici, thats the one! ;) [15:17] rblst skype doesn't detect your cam? [15:17] I use DeVeDe all the time.. fairly simple. but it works well [15:17] Stefanos90, you need him to share his folders [15:18] and connect through windows sharing server with his ip! [15:18] yes he is [15:18] !launchpad [15:18] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ === emc_ is now known as emc [15:18] Stefanos90: clarfy what you mean 'watch what he has inside' [15:18] i need to transfer some files is it posible [15:19] bodwick, it does detect it, but when i test it, nothing appears and cpu goes up close to 100% [15:19] Stefanos90: you can access windows shares from the command line if you mount them to a directory. [15:19] Stefanos90: or he could use winscp and access the linux box and transfer files over. that may be easier. [15:19] Dr_Willis, as he's said that the windows pc folders're shared, i think he wants to know how to access them === mentr_bnc is now known as mentr [15:19] Stefanos90: this is on a local lan right? [15:19] Stefanos90, did he share with enough permissions for you to access? [15:19] Dr_Willis, these backend tools crash during creating a DVD, in both cases. [15:19] bodwick, i have two logitech cams, both used to work okay, now i cannot use either [15:20] Stefanos90: you could right click on some directory (like /home/Yourusername/Public and share it.. and let him connect to you. it often works better that way [15:20] pkkm: thats odd.. but these other tools might use the same backend tools. [15:20] Stefanos90, or you can open some folder, and click on file and connect to server [15:20] Dr_Willis, I'll try them and see. [15:21] then you'll have to select windows share and enter his ip address and conenct [15:21] bodwick, i have tried loading libraries, changing xml con file, reverting to earlier versions, installing static version from medibuntu; no luck [15:21] Hi, I'm using Apache/2.2.12 with wsgi & django to write an intranet app on an "Linux 2.6.31-22-server #63-Ubuntu SMP" box here. Problem is: the web app works fine while I happen to have an ssh window logged in, but whenever I'm not ssh'ed in apache returns 403 forbidden. [15:21] Keith, try "Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 Karmic" instead... [15:22] tom][v, did you give enough permissons for the folders shared for others to acess? [15:22] *acces [15:22] ok === Riot777 is now known as Riotta [15:22] places>network? [15:22] Omicr0n`, is there any advantage or changes from UNR 9.10 to 10.4 [15:23] Stefanos90, open some folder [15:23] tom][v: do you run those apps from your homedi? [15:23] in your computer [15:23] anybody here who can help me using my logitech cam with skype in 10.04? [15:23] yes [15:23] ok [15:23] click on file [15:23] when I run 'jockey' it doesn't says anything about my radepon mobility x1300 . I want to install the ati/amd drivers because the ones I currently use seem to make some progs doen't work very well [15:23] Stefanos90, then click on conenct to server [15:24] i folled the libdvdcss instructions, but I'm still getting "Add. Sense: Read of scrambled sector without authentication" when I try to copy VIDEO_TS files off of a dvd (the dvd plays fine in totem though). Has anyone run into this before? [15:24] from the output of inonv -l, what is the different between ISO_8859-9 and ISO8859-9 ? [15:24] how can I install these >original< drivers? [15:24] i ran the install-css.sh script [15:24] Omicr0n`, Does UNR 10.4 have any advantage or significant change from UNR 9.10? [15:24] rblst does cheese detect those webcams? [15:24] rockhopper: updated packages [15:25] bodwick, i'll have to check [15:25] rockhopper: faster boot times can be seen with 10.04 [15:25] rockhopper: also 10.10 will show the biggest changes to UNR with the new unity interface. [15:25] histo, I was wondering coz, in 10.04, my brightness keys won't work... [15:26] histo, but i can change it from the terminal! [15:26] simplexio: yes from my home dir [15:27] rockhopper: you can boot to 10.04 and see if it helps with your brightness issues. The install disk is fully bootable. Youc an even make a usb key to boot from. [15:27] bodwick, yes cheese can use the cam, but CPU load is 100%, so it's practically useless [15:27] histo, I'm currently using the 10.04 [15:27] rockhopper: yes it's all universally readable [15:27] is that the one available? [15:28] rockhopper: okay then whats the question I thought you were asking about changes from 9.10 [15:28] I haven't tried the 9.10 [15:28] rblst which process usues most cpu when trying to use the webcam? [15:28] Yeah, i wan't to give 9.10 a try if the brightness keys work in it! [15:28] when I run 'jockey' it doesn't says anything about my radepon mobility x1300 . I want to install the ati/amd drivers because the ones I currently use seem to make some progs doen't work very well [15:28] how can I install these >original< drivers? [15:28] if so, i can run it until 10.10's released [15:28] How do I know what Graphics Card driver I'm using ??? [15:28] rockhopper: you can try the beta of 10.10 [15:28] ok [15:28] rockhopper: ubuntu.com/testing [15:29] histo, thanks!

So, you must use the Open-Source drivers that are built-in when you install or go back to an older version of Ubuntu. [15:30] headkase314: means there is no chance to run crashing progs? :( [15:30] hi , i am on 10.04 ubuntu, running xchat ... can we automate logging to a network and list of channels ..[every time we start xchat ] [15:30] Matthes, the open-source drivers are improving but it is slow-going. Like see what it's like in 10.10 or 11.04 [15:31] hmm, ok thanks [15:32] hey guys ubuntu install messed up my mbr and now I cant login to my windows sys on sda1.... Ive got 2 winxp os (sda1&2) and the grub.cfg shows the second os tries to boot from hd0,1 but it will actualy start sda2 ? [15:32] rblst quick google shows it could be pulse autio related [15:32] histo, is upgrading from 10.04 better or installing the fresh 10.10 beta better? [15:32] Matthes, you can also do: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only" then "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade". But if you do this you may occasionally run into a broken driver. That repository is bleeding-edge open-source drivers. [15:32] rblst try disabling auto-respawn, kill pulse audio and test if the issue persists [15:32] rockhopper: it's allt he same however I will caution that its Beta and not recomended for production machines. Discussion on 10.10 takes place in #ubuntu+1 channel. [15:33] PsychiC, sudo update-grub [15:33] bodwick, i wonder how video and audio is connected, but thanks, i'll do just what you suggest [15:33] lol@at&t not having support for LInux.

(crypted?) [15:35] hi i try to configure my /etc/sudoers so that every user can use "chown" and "mount" ...The syntax is correct but I doesnt seem to work! Any ideas? [15:35] simplexio: yes encrypted [15:35] tom][v: sounds like you need to move data to some dir which is allways mounted [15:36] how do u make a screencast in ubuntu? [15:36] BluesKaj, I've ran the command, rebooted, choose the OS on /dev/sda1 , boots into the second one (/dev/sda2) [15:36] !screencast | outer_space [15:36] outer_space: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [15:36] outer_space: gtkrecordmydesktop [15:36] ty folks [15:36] outer_space: there's a new one called kazam which works in 10.04 [15:36] outer_space: but its broken in 10.10 [15:36] tom][v: /var/www/ should work [15:36] outer_space: gtk-recordmydesktop sry. [15:37] tom][v: or create /home/something which isnt crypted [15:39] simplexio: that makes sense, I'll try. thanks for now! [15:39] PsychiC, does the grub menu show your windows entry , like windows xp or 7 or? [15:40] BluesKaj, it shows both winxp on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 (which it should) , but either one will boot into /dev/sda2 [15:41] PsychiC, /dev/sda2 is which OS? [15:41] winxp (2nd) [15:41] the first is probly the rescue partition for windows [15:42] BluesKaj, negative, both are full winxp installs [15:42] hey guys, do you recommend upgrade to 10.10? [15:42] PsychiC, what's your linux partition ?

[15:44] BluesKaj, grub shows all the OS'ses , ubuntu, memtest, winxp, winxp, debian [15:45] PsychiC, did you install windows after linux was installed ? [15:45] BluesKaj, no, ubuntu was last [15:46] PsychiC, you have a lot of partitions and it keeps booting windows and ignoring your choices , is that correct? [15:46] whoa [15:46] at&t need to get some linux techs [15:47] BluesKaj, it only ignores which winxp I choose, it will boot ubuntu and debian. Both winxp lines will boot winxp on /dev/sda2. [15:48] In fact while I'm here: anyone know how can I fix this error: sudo apache2ctl graceful; "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName" (thanks :-) === mentr is now known as mentr-food [15:49] My WM is completely messed up.. windows don't redraw themselve correctly, don't minimize or switch desktops [15:49] tom][v: I've had that for ages, but I don't use my webserver at all. I suspect that it is just a minor misconfig that can be ignored [15:49] also when a new window pops up it is under existing windows [15:50] hey there. I'm trying to ping my windows computer on the network from a neighboring ubuntu computer, and can't seem to locate the correct hostname for it [15:50] dotblank: when did this start happening? [15:50] hey, having problem playing a hd film on my machine, bit weird, video plays perfectly with mplayer, but no sound. On vlc I get sound, but the video is so jumpy it's unwatchable, any ideas? [15:50] windows -> ubuntu names work, but the other way i'm having difficulty [15:50] hi! i have a problem in boot process on ubuntu. when system startup sometimes my keyboard and mouse doesn't work. i push power button and ubuntu reboot after 60 secs. [15:50] ChogyDan, hard to remember.. its been going on a while now [15:51] i've tried, for example, ping hostname, ping \\workgroup\hostname, and all come up unreachable, but pinging the IP address works [15:51] ChogyDan, I did install nvidia's latest with a ppa [15:51] webus: are they plugged in directly or over an kvm switch? [15:51] ChogyDan: ok, thanks. [15:51] am I missing something? [15:51] directly, ps/2 [15:51] ChogyDan, I don't think that did it tho [15:51] dotblank: maybe you should disable compiz [15:51] webus: im just interested because i get sometimes the problem while using kvm switch. [15:51] hmm interesting... [15:51] BluesKaj, could it be something to do with --fs-uuid ? [15:52] webus: didnt really find a answer to that question sorry [15:52] ChogyDan, I went to disable it and it says mutter isn't running [15:52] soreau, Dr_Willis: Thanx for the geany proposal... instant love! [15:52] and I can't enable / disable anything [15:52] PsychiC, open /boot/grub/grub.cfg , check to see whether your first partition is listed [15:52] ...some hours late [15:52] Silivrenion: I don't think the hostname like that is pingable [15:52] if i push num lock button in boot process everyting ok. i think ubuntu can't see my keyboard and mouse if they inactive in boot process [15:52] tjubalauba: tep [15:52] yep* [15:52] Hi - I'm having trouble with ubuntu 10.10 - which room do I ask in? [15:52] dotblank: Sys > Prefs > Appearance > Visual Affects > None ? [15:53] Also I originally had compiz off [15:53] !maverick | drdozer [15:53] drdozer: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [15:53] PsychiC, or /dev/sda1 equivalent [15:53] ChogyDan, let me get you a screen cap [15:53] BluesKaj, lemme try to post it @ pastie.org [15:53] hey, having problem playing a hd film on my machine, bit weird, video plays perfectly with mplayer, but no sound. On vlc I get sound, but the video is so jumpy it's unwatchable, any ideas? [15:54] tom][v: that ".. servers name.." i there because your hosts file , dns server give different name than some apache config file. and i have too , dosnt cause any problems ( that im aware f) [15:54] I get an error when I try to save a .jpg file using GIMP. It says:... nevermind, I tried to save it again and it worked. >_> Weird. [15:54] ChogyDan, http://imgur.com/uoXdf.png [15:54] But it tells me something about the memory and the plugin. [15:54] dotblank: is this lucid? [15:55] ChogyDan, yes [15:55] ChogyDan, it's pingable, because IP address pinging works [15:55] dotblank: I would try removing the nvidia stuff, myself. Thought... I wonder what mutter is [15:55] PsychiC, brb , upgradinq to maverick requires reboot [15:56] ChogyDan, I needed nvidia latest to run sc2 in wine [15:56] the issue I have is that I don't know how ubuntu formats hostnames for a given windows network resource [15:56] Silivrenion: maybe try smb:// or something [15:57] dotblank: well, it is easy enough to reinstall, and if removing works, at least you have narrowed down the issue [15:57] ChogyDan, I tried running mutter --replace [15:57] it's not restricted to samba... this is a problem mostly for synergy2, since i need a valid hostname. I can see the windows machine in ubuntu's samba enumerator, but i just can't find the hostname >.< [15:57] it seem to sorta work [15:57] but now I get Window manager warning: Missing composite extension required for compositing [15:57] dotblank: what is mutter? [15:58] Question: Updated some packages this morning, and my shut off button I pinned on the taskbar became unusable. I deleted and pinned it again, but I wonder what caused it, anyone know? [15:58] ChogyDan, no idea seems to be a WM [15:58] with debian-archive-keyring being updated, nothing is funky eh with any repo? [15:58] My wireless is periodicly disconnecting after upgrading to 10.10 beta. [15:58] nevermind, it was hostname.local. avahi-resolve-address -a did it === AlHafoudh_ is now known as AlHafoudh [16:00] ChogyDan, Wow that was odd [16:00] why would : debian-archive-keyring be needing an upgrade? Is there a way to read the changelog before I commit to this dist-upgrade? [16:00] My whole WM exploded [16:00] dotblank: try metacity --replace [16:01] is lubuntu lighter then xubuntu ? [16:01] BluesKaj, http://pastie.org/1141599 [16:01] I restarted x and everything seems to work now [16:01] Now I remember! I installed gnome shell [16:02] dotblank: mmm hm, I think mutter is part of gnome-shell, a metacity replacement [16:02] hi everybody [16:03] hey [16:03] greetings everyone [16:04] i have installed openssh-server on my ubuntu 10.04 for netbook, but i can't find a way to disable it ... it want to startup automatically at boot, but i wont ... what can i do ? [16:04] hi there [16:04] no link to ssh seems to be created on /etc/rc?.d/ and i just try to install script and disable, but it does not work [16:04] anyone knows how to disable shutdown and restart for regular users? [16:05] I have a package that I need to install but its complaining of python version greater than the required version. I have installed a lower version of pyhthon but still getting the same message. How do I specify the python to use please?

[16:07] PsychiC, I wonder why the uuid values for both windows partitions are the same and what could have caused that...it's beyond my expertise I'm afraid :( ...maybe someone more knowledgeable can help here ? [16:07] remoteCTRL: its not final yet [16:07] !maverick [16:07] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:07] guys ive messed up [16:07] !details | super-noob [16:07] super-noob: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [16:08] i was messing with the passwd file and made myself a root by changind 1000.1000 to 0.0 or something like that now my password file is locked [16:08] ricdanger: Whats the point trying to do that? They could just turn off the computer using the power button anyway? [16:08] freenx / remote access [16:08] ricdanger: you right, and also gdmsetups seems to be useless in this situation [16:09] BluesKaj, thats what I figured out so far ;) I guess it's because I used the same winxp install for both.... i've read i might have to use labels....will try that tonight [16:09] BluesKaj, but many thanks anyway :) [16:09] I already tried policykit policies, but they are not working for restart and shutdown [16:09] super-noob: not meant to enable the root account in Ubuntu [16:09] sebsebseb: i know this now thats why im such a noob [16:09] i hate not being in control [16:10] super-noob: ah ha you don't understand what sudo is I guess? Or didn't know [16:10] bodwick, i've tried killing pulseaudio, the problem remains; the forum thread you sent me is not about skype video [16:10] super-noob: with sudo you are in control [16:10] First time trying to get a webcam to work in Linux, how would I go about it? [16:10] ricdanger: are you using the correct actions? the current ones in 10.04 are org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.* [16:10] !sudo | super-noob [16:10] super-noob: 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 [16:10] PsychiC, sorry I couldn't help .... if you find a solution , be sure to let me know if I'm here , thanks [16:10] ricdanger: i have a lot of problems to, and manual does not help a lot ... [16:10] yes but what i was trying to use sudo with wasnt working [16:10] yep, I'm usign that ones org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.* [16:10] and also upower [16:11] super-noob: by the way most other distros what they do, is when installing you would set up two accounts, a normal user account, and a root account. The root account you would never log in to, instead you would use the normal user account, and only become root when you need to. [16:11] ok so how do i fix all this [16:11] hibernate and suspend is not shown after I disable the upower actions [16:11] but restart and shutdown are still shown [16:11] hi [16:11] super-noob: if you log into a root account, loads of services and such, can run that shoudn't be running like that useually [16:11] super-noob, you also need to use "gksudo" when it is a graphical application or you could run into issues too. [16:11] hi everyone! I've created a cronjob with exec('/usr/bin/crontab /home/emanuele/public_html/htcheck/protected/extensions/crontab/crontabs/htcheck_devise', $out); And it adds the cron to the user www-data. The problem is that the cron doesn't really execute the command */2 * * * * /usr/bin/htcheck -vsi -c /home/emanuele/public_html/htcheck/protected/extensions/crontab/crontabs/htcheck_devise.conf [16:11] BluesKaj, actually ubuntu overwritten my other bootloader on /dev/sda without asking (or at least I did not see a page in the setup) , my previous bootloader GAG did the job quite well [16:11] super-noob: and yeah what headkase314 put [16:12] if I try to execute it from the command line everything works well. I think that the user www-data can't execute it but I can't add the cron to my home user couse it requires root [16:12] what app should I install to change my gdm theme, I have a minimal install [16:12] ok ive learnt my lesson dont fuck with root sudo instead so how do i fix all this [16:12] super-noob: there is a way to disable the root account in Ubuntu again, but I am not sure how [16:12] !language | super-noob [16:12] super-noob: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:12] super-noob: and yeah language [16:12] BluesKaj, I have debian installed on /dev/sda6 which during setup I've installed the bootloader on /dev/sda6 thus not overwriting the bootloader on /dev/sda [16:12] actually, I already disabled org.freedesktop.devicekit.power.*, org.freedesktop.upower.* and org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.* [16:12] opps sorry [16:13] joshritger: gdm2setup from launchpad.net [16:13] thanks [16:13] hahha this is new [16:13] super-noob: also with Windows, a main reason why there is so much malware (malicious programs) is because most users are running it with admin, when they don't need to, which means full power for the system to them, but also any malware. [16:13] so how do i unlock the password file so i can make it all working again [16:13] ricdanger: this works for me http://pastebin.com/BxFTPVbE in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-disable-shutdown.pkla , stops the test8 user from shutting down or suspending (well it prompts for an admin password, but completely disabling it is possible too), you have to add gdm too if you don't want someone shutting down from the login screen [16:13] joshritger: the old gdm themes don't work anymore; you can specify gtk2 themes to use for buttons etc and change background [16:13] super-noob: i guess your best option is to fire up the computer with a live cd and then edit our passwd from there again [16:13] also sudo dont work no more [16:13] !google test [16:13] warlockscript: ok hi [16:14] sebsebseb: i think the old trick never work anymore to lucid [16:14] ok [16:14] is there anyway to do it from here [16:14] warlockscript: uh what are you trying to do?

But shutdown and restart menu items are still shown in gnome === ninemen is now known as bespoke [16:15] sebsebseb: gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/mousekeys_enable 0 [16:15] nothing i can do that np [16:15] ricdanger: yes, that has nothing to do with showing the items [16:15] I also set that to "no" [16:15] ricdanger: it just disabled them working, because they have no policykit auth [16:15] anybody here who can help me using my logitech cam with skype in 10.04? [16:15] just wanted to know if there was a alternative befreo i go remaster a live [16:15] sebsebseb: thats the old trick but in lucid no more runs [16:15] warlockscript: I don't know [16:15] hi everyone! I've created a cronjob with exec('/usr/bin/crontab /home/emanuele/public_html/htcheck/protected/extensions/crontab/crontabs/htcheck_devise', $out); And it adds the cron to the user www-data. The problem is that the cron doesn't really execute the command */2 * * * * /usr/bin/htcheck -vsi -c /home/emanuele/public_html/htcheck/protected/extensions/crontab/crontabs/htcheck_devise.conf [16:15] if I try to execute it from the command line everything works well. I think that the user www-data can't execute it but I can't add the cron to my home user couse it requires root [16:16] sebsebseb: ok [16:16] rblst, have you cheese installed? [16:16] super-noob: what need to remaster?? and nope there is no other way as you computer right now does not accept a single command that requires the os to lookup access control [16:16] cedriczg, yes [16:16] anyone knows how to restore a reverse caps lock? [16:16] trism: I understand. But if I disable suspend and hibernate with policykit, the menu items are not shown anymore. Is it possible to do the same with shutdown and restart? [16:16] rblst, does your webcam work with cheese? [16:17] super-noob: i guess you have not given root a password, right? [16:17] root has a password [16:17] cedriczg, it captures the input, yes, but CPU is up to 100%, so it is practically useless [16:17] anyone knows how to restore a reverse caps lock? [16:17] super-noob: have you logged into the actsaul root account? [16:18] !patience warlockscript [16:18] !patience | warlockscript [16:18] warlockscript: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [16:18] rblst, did you try to run cheese on terminal to see if you get any strange output? [16:18] hehehe of course.. [16:18] i only repeat my concern twice here [16:18] super-noob: if so maybe you should just clean install the OS, after all some stuff may have changed, that shoudn't have [16:19] ricdanger: I'm sure there is a way to hide those options, but I don't know it === warlockscript is now known as scriptwarlock [16:19] cedriczg, i get some warnings and an error [16:20] I've got crunchbang and ubuntu 10.04 installed side-by-side, but I can't get crunchbang running well. How do I remove crunchbang without ruining anything? [16:20] droes: ok uhmm [16:20] droes: which one controls Grub? [16:20] hi [16:20] I'm not sure, but I think crunchbang [16:20] how i can have a complete graphic extinction with plymouth ? ( on Ubuntu, without tty1 screen ) [16:21] rblst, and if you run skype on terminal, do you get similar error? [16:21] I've a cronjob associed to www-data. It's listed in it's jobs but it's not executed. Why? [16:21] cedriczg, no [16:21] Dr_Willis: ping [16:21] StErMi: impossible to answer, give more details [16:21] droes: in fact, someone the other day, had Ubuntu Desktop Edition and Ubuntu Netbook Edition on his computer, he wanted to get rid of the netbook edition, so he did [16:21] how do I install jvm 1.5+, if I am on Hardy? [16:21] cedriczg, this is what i get with cheese: http://paste.ubuntu.com/489302/ [16:21] droes: and well it turns out that its /boot was controlling Grub [16:21] from php i've created a cronjob. PHP associate it to the user www-data [16:21] when the grub screen comes up, look at the top of the screen and see which version number it is using. Crunchbang uses legacy grub [16:22] when I do crontab -u www-data -l it show my cronjob but it's never executed the comand [16:22] uRock: this is crunchbang alpha 2, so it's different from the 9.04 I think [16:22] how can I know which is the problem? [16:22] droes: so yeah Grub messed up he coudn't boot into desktop edition or Windows 7, but then I heped him later to re install :) even helped him make his old netbook edition partition into a seperate /home [16:22] StErMi: pastebin the crontab, make sure there's a final new line [16:22] sebsebseb: I'd hope to avoid that. messed up grub once, not a happy memory [16:22] how can i have a complete graphic shutdown process with plymouth ? [16:23] droes: if you get rid of the wrong /boot you have to re install the OS [16:23] trism: figured it out :) /apps/indicator-session/ had settings to suppress the menu item :) [16:23] droes: basicalley [16:23] jrib, http://pastebin.com/P5uLxLqD [16:23] Excuse me, I need help. :) I created an image using GIMP. Saved it as .xcf. Then when I try to save it as .jpg. This error pops up: "Unable to run plug-in file-jpeg (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg) Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory)". [16:23] droes: however with seperate /home thats not a big deal [16:23] ricdanger: does it actually work? last time I tried that key did nothing [16:23] rblst, do you know what is that file cheese tries to open? [16:23] droes, I don't think debian has moved up to grub 2 yet. They are known for waiting for stuff to "age" before using it [16:23] anyone knows how to restore a reverse caps lock? [16:23] uRock: Debian are on Grub 2 [16:23] uRock: not stable just yet though I guess [16:23] yep. it seems to work. I no longer have the menu items there [16:24] StErMi: if you have a final new line, check your mail from cron or redirect stdout and stderr to some file and check it [16:24] sebsebseb: thanx, I didn't know that [16:24] just lock scree and logout [16:24] uRock: the splash screen has debian and crunchbang on it, I'm assuming that's a sign crunchbang controls that? [16:24] how can i have a complete graphic shutdown process with plymouth ? [16:24] ricdanger: excellent [16:24] uRock: its other distros like Fedora, Mandriva, and PC LInux OS, who are still using the old version of Grub :) [16:24] uRock: so yeah its Ubuntu Debian and Ubuntu and Debian based distros, that are mainly using Grub 2, where as others, nope [16:25] trism: I wonder if there exist more widgets that shutdown the computer [16:25] jrib, how can I do that? Sorry but i'm pretty noob to it... how can I redirect stdout and stderr to some file and check it [16:25] droes: what you could also do is [16:25] uRock and sebsebseb, it's grub version 1.98-1 [16:25] StErMi: first, does your crontab have a final newline? [16:25] droes: thats Grub 2 [16:25] how can I check it? [16:26] StErMi: press enter at the end of your crontab and save [16:26] sebsebseb: the grub background has crunchbang and debian logo's [16:26] droes, that version of Crunchbang uses mostly all debian applications, hence the IcedWeasel instead of Firefox, but either way this is off subject [16:26] How do i prevent users to "ls /home" and see all the directories of users? [16:26] droes: you could try making a seperate /boot for what was crunchbang, but then Ubuntu might have issues updating it with the kernels and such [16:26] droes: ok crunchbang is responsible for Grub then [16:26] sebsebseb: bummer [16:27] pdvyas_: don't give them read access to the directory [16:27] droes: have you got a seperate /home already? [16:27] just run the LiveCD and reinstall grub to ubuntu [16:27] pdvyas_: in ssh or ftp? [16:27] hey i tried to install ubuntu and it gives me error 0 [16:27] whoa, just ran e2fsck on my fileserver and got 44.9% non-contiguous [16:27] jrib, are you talking about the file of the cron or the crontab comand? :/ [16:27] never seen this much non-contigous [16:27] jrib: chmod 750 locks out everyone [16:27] StErMi: the user's crontab... Use crontab -e [16:27] sebsebseb: I have two home partitions if that's what your asking [16:27] pdvyas_: I didn't say to chmod 750 [16:28] droes: ok one is in the crunchbang install and the other is in Ubuntu? [16:28] anyone have experience using a nuforce uDAC with linux ?? [16:28] pdvyas_: there are ways around 750 [16:28] sebsebseb: yes [16:28] droes: have you got data that you want in both? [16:28] pdvyas_, chmod o-r /home [16:28] sebsebseb: the only stuff I care about is on the buntu [16:28] droes: ok :) [16:28] dpac: trying that [16:28] cedriczg, it seems an ogg video, i don't know why it wants to open that, the Reason translates as: the data stream does not contain any data [16:29] jrib, i opened it with nano and if I go down I can 'see' a newline [16:29] pdvyas_: 711 or 4711 on each ~ tends to work nicely [16:29] droes: ok what I did last time, was got that person, to delete everything from their partition, except for /home [16:29] StErMi: k, do the other thing I said then :) [16:29] droes: then turned that into a seperate /home partition on the installer [16:29] droes: and he made a new / for Ubuntu and re installed, and yep everything was fine [16:30] droes: first I got him to move some stuff into Windows 7, but I didn't trust that fully, so I wanted to be sure, he woudn't lose any data, so did it this other way [16:30] Gnea, jrib, dpac : 750 was a BAD idea really, chmod o- r /home did the trick [16:30] droes: copy into Windows 7 I should say [16:30] hi all [16:31] !hi [16:31] Gnea, jrib, dpac : thanks a tonne [16:31] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [16:31] cedriczg, i've deleted all items, now cheese does not give any output in terminal [16:31] pdvyas_: now the important question, why do you want to do this? [16:31] rblst, and does it consume too much cpu? [16:31] droes: and he would show me screenshots of the partition stuff and what not. and yeah I spent about two hours or so heping this person, but the results were good :) [16:31] jrib, I'm pretty noob in linux command line. How can I redirect stdout and stderr to some file and check it? [16:31] cedriczg, yes [16:31] I need help with intel gma 4500m in my acer 1810tz. Screen resolution issues [16:31] heya [16:31] i have new laptop with `i7 qm720` with intel turbo boost technology but i can't see it running by looking in proc/cpuinfo although my sixth sense says to me that it won't be there anyway .. any notice to turbo boost + linux ? [16:32] jrib: I dont want mom to know how many people actually have an account on my box ( half of my class) [16:32] cedriczg, around 90% [16:32] rblst, so no error nor warning but still consuming too much cpu? [16:32] pdvyas_: she can still find out by other means if you care [16:32] cedriczg, exaclty [16:32] jrib: disabled user list from gdm also ;) [16:32] droes: and you want to do this in pm? probably better really, otherwise it kind of gets in the way of other people wanting help in here [16:32] rblst, mmmhh [16:32] pdvyas_: cat /etc/passwd for example [16:32] rblst, and what about skype output? [16:32] that's probably for the best sebsebseb [16:33] jrib : protecting that too, thanks [16:33] pdvyas_: I'm not sure if users need to be able to read that [16:33] cedriczg, skype produces no text output [16:33] no help?

Anyone experienced this before? I tried with both vinagre and gtk vnc viewer, neither updates [17:32] zak23e3i: Ok, step 2. What is wrong with google earth and games? [17:32] dpac_: Thanks you. It works now. [17:32] RandomTime: I could copy the windows drivers from from the disk to my usb stick, but unless there's another way to install without using the ndiswrapper, I would like to know [17:33] hello [17:33] bukcyball: do you have desktop effects enabled? [17:33] @rockhopper: problem solved, it had to do with me being stupid and not remembering what i installed. The proxy server was the cause. [17:33] gryllida, After installing headless package? [17:33] did anybody read my important question is about network security [17:33] sinman: if there aren't native linux drivers (you could also try and search d-link's site) you'll have to use ndis [17:33] dpac_: no, put line 26 after line 3 and add it as command line argument helped; that headless package doesn't exist on hardy [17:33] any1 out there who knows hwo to deal with laptop sound problems [17:33] !patience | Patero-ng: [17:34] Patero-ng:: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [17:34] RandomTime: the drivers is in a exe file on there site [17:34] !sound | Kills [17:34] Kills: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[17:34] Patero-ng: what are you trying to "distinguish" ? [17:34] a request from a reply packet [17:34] soreau: when i zoom in Earth it becomes very badly, appear many strips and kinda no need lines... the same with mini games [17:34] sinman: that means they probably don't have the drivers. You're going to have to copy the ones on the CD and use ndiswrapper [17:34] none of that helps my lame sound quality on songs with more bass [17:34] an incmomming packet can be either 1 of the 2 [17:34] gryllida, Glad that I could help :) === Barridus_ is now known as Barridus [17:35] dpac_: I'm very thankful. [17:35] How can i see information about someone [17:35] using whois [17:35] sreerajc: in IRC, it's /whois [17:35] Could I use the Ubuntu Customization kit to install the ndiswrapper [17:35] Patero-ng: on TCP level? there's a whole handshaking process that takes place [17:35] zak23e3i: You likely need newer radeon driver then. You can get it by installing a more recent kernel (latest is 2.6.35) and installing xorg-edgers repo to update the userspace components [17:36] and burn another ubuntu disk [17:36] you could put the ndiswrapper packages on a CD, and install from there [17:36] im using Xchat [17:36] it is possible in it? [17:36] sreerajc: yes [17:36] k where would i download the package at [17:36] zak23e3i: Because I suspect you are still using 2.6.32 and there have been a considerable amount of changes in the radeon driver since then [17:36] any1 out there who knows hwo to deal with laptop sound problems? [17:36] can usb automount be disabled for a particular device?

[17:37] RandomTime: there's no one on ubnutu forums. any other channel? [17:38] bukcyball: put your message on the forums and try waiting a day or 2 for a responce [17:38] I have an SD card when i wanted to mount second time it didnot i am suspecting a process linked to it that i need to kill but which one ? I dont want to restart my PC [17:38] :) [17:38] zak23e3i: You dont need to compile anything. There are deb packages you can install [17:38] Asad2005: What error does the mount command give? [17:39] sreerajc, you can right click on the users list and choose whois [17:39] soreau: ok ty :) === vikas__ is now known as vikas [17:39] hi [17:39] I mean when i insert it it should auto mount. dmesg doesnot show anything [17:39] Have a problem with my laptop display.

[17:40] Asad2005: did you remember to eject your usb device before you unpluged? [17:40] soreau: well I added a script in the startup, just as you suggested...it works [17:40] Asad2005: can you try to mount it manually? [17:40] can usb automounting be controlled on a per device basis? i like automount except for my phone, i'd like that not to automount when charging [17:40] cedriczg, but for everyusers it showing USA only [17:41] dhruvasagar: oh cool [17:41] soreau: can I run a script after this script in the startup ? [17:41] RandomTime: I think i did safe remove yes but now which device to use as dmesg doesnot show it neither fdisk -l [17:42] soreau: btw, thanks a lot again :) [17:42] dhruvasagar: You can, but if you want ordering control, you should probably use the same script [17:42] np [17:42] cedriczg, [cedriczg] #ubuntu [17:42] * [cedriczg] zelazny.freenode.net :Corvallis, OR, USA [17:42] * [cedriczg] idle 00:02:28, signon: Mon Sep 6 20:13:42 [17:42] * [cedriczg] is logged in as cedriczg [17:42] * [cedriczg] End of WHOIS list.

[17:43] soreau: I mean it doesn't run... [17:43] cedriczg, u there? [17:43] dhruvasagar: That is because compiz never exits, and that code waits until each command completes before running the next one [17:43] sreerajc, yes. I see that. But I see other info as well === nate__ is now known as moegreen [17:43] dhruvasagar, try adding & after compiz --replace [17:44] kills: if you want any hope to find someone that can help you with you problem you should add more info instead of repeat what you sent. you should add hardware info that would be needed from lshw or lspci added in a pastebin.

[17:47] Kills, that depends on the hardware that you have [17:47] Kills: could it be that your speakers are tinny, and can't handle the bass? [17:47] RandomTime: how do I do it in cli..? I can't do it, it is vps, access denied when I do swapon, so no way. is there any other cause for this behavior except for being out of ram? [17:47] where can I ask for SIP/voip software help?

[17:50] erdnase: can you try to save in another format? [17:50] headkase314, thanks. That made the trick. I did it manually through synaptic as you suggested [17:50] sacarlson: everything worked just fine on w7 [17:51] RandomTime, let me try .png. Sec. [17:51] cedriczg, you're welcome! I had that once too.. ;) [17:51] my hifi can handle it [17:51] kills: its not automatic you have to make it sound the way you want it to. [17:51] RandomTime, Same error.

[17:59] is there a way to change which applications start on startup using the terminal only? no startup applications gui thing? [17:59] Kills: well that's not my favorite.

The only thing I changed was specifying an additional parameter in my sound hardware's configuration! Before losing wireless was a freeze condition! So it seems it was a resource conflict! [18:15] Jrib: While I'm here, one more question :) I have this integrated chat, and it lets me add IRC... but I couldnt figure out how to view the actually channl, it would just let me msg individual users [18:15] sinisterstuf: well there are ways to do that but I never do. there are ways to change all the values in the gui envirnment but I forget how. can some one tell him? [18:15] Ianrr: "integrated chat"? [18:16] jrib: Upper right hand site, it lets me add IRC under "Chat Accounts" [18:16] Jrib:side [18:16] Does anyone know if there's a way in lftp to exclude directories with the mirror command? [18:16] Ianrr: you using pidgin? [18:16] Ianrr, that's called Empathy - and it's terrible with IRC a real client is MUCH better [18:16] sinisterstuf: and I mean in gnome the one I use. there is a utilty to do that. I'm not sure that you run standard gnome. [18:17] Ianrr: ah, don't bother with empathy for irc [18:17] ZykoticK9, jrob: ok thanks. Is it ok for Gchat etc? I am using XChat for IRC now [18:17] Ianrr, xchat is good [18:17] Ianrr, Empthy is great for IM, just not IRC ;) [18:17] jrib: what's yr fav irc client? [18:17] irssi > most other clients, but you have to like terminal based apps :) [18:18] Ianrr: yeah, works great otherwise. But irc is a different beast. Even the author admits empathy isn't really good at irc :) [18:18] jjk9: weechat! [18:18] hi people, need advice on booting/formatting a laptop if anyone got a moment... [18:18] AlleyKatt: ask away [18:18] jjk9: off to get info on weechat [18:18] ZykoticK9, Jrib: ok last question for sure... I have my development site mapped to a webdav folder. In windows I could use tortus SVN to view the status of files... Is it possible to do that on Ubuntu? [18:19] ikonia: what is the website to post the information here?

Personally, I use cadaver, but it's command line [18:19] ZykoticK9, Jrib: Ok thanks. Either way I love Ubuntu. Esp being a developer its like if someone wrote an OS with me in mind [18:20] its a HP Pavillion Entertainment laptop, had Win7 [18:21] sacarlson: well thanks for all your help... [18:21] primary HD was split in 2, C: (100gb) and D: (400gb) and the D-drive was bitlocked... [18:21] sinisterstuf: I see this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347089 [18:21] AlleyKatt: bitlocked? did you get an error that it was locked by somethingsomething*windows*something? [18:21] I could format the system partition (100mb) and C-drive with the Windows install cd [18:22] why hackers hate windows and love linux ?? [18:22] but not the D-drive, win7 x64 installer keeps sayin' that its dynamic [18:22] !ot | Legend_Xeon [18:22] Legend_Xeon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[18:22] ok [18:23] Legend_Xeon: they know that windows is weak and linux is stronger in security [18:23] Hi there, I'm having a damn issue with my VLC, here is the thing, I have a DVB-T thingy, and i'd like to receive the terrestrial Video (don't really know how it's called in english), so my w_scan can't find anything, i mean, it finds it, but doesn't write it in the destination file [18:23] It's saying "Info: NIT(actual) filter timeout", It would be awesome if someone could help me out with that :D [18:23] thanks for the response [18:23] trying to install ubuntu 10.04 lts desktop x64, I tried to make ubuntu take over the full HD, but it gets to about 15% then says theres an i/o error [18:23] about:config [18:23] Hey all, How can I install the latest gnome version? [18:24] how do you mount an extended ext3 partition? [18:24] gabriel: you can't [18:24] Delvien: both, actually - primary thing right now is just getting the whole drive properly cleaned out [18:24] gabriel: you wait for ubuntu to update it's packages, then they will get offered to you [18:24] AlleyKatt: format the drive first with gparted (under system) [18:24] AlleyKatt, check the md5 of your image (or cdrom), an i/o error could be from the cd, or caused by the cd driver - or from your HD (worse issue) [18:24] ikonia, why can't I install GNOME Shell 2.31.2 [18:24] lol bots :D [18:24] gabriel: gnome shell is not gnome [18:25] tucemiux: just go to Places>computer>click the drive you want to automount [18:25] whats the correct way to add 2nd partition on lucid lynx? like for /data for example, is there a graphical tool?

[18:25] ikonia, thanks m8 [18:25] Delvien: problem is booting up ubuntu live just gives me a blank desktop... nice background, but nothing else... [18:25] Can i install windows after ubuntu ? [18:25] sacarlson, how mount an ext3 partition **manually***, it seems it's an ext4, gparted is saying its ext3 [18:26] AlleyKatt: then your livecd is borked. [18:26] Legend_Xeon: yes you can, but you'll have to restore grub afterward [18:26] Legend_Xeon, yes, but you'll need to reinstall GRUB after [18:26] Legend_Xeon, install Windows first or Windows will clobber the bootloader. [18:26] ikonia, i used disk utility (gparted) to format and mount, will this automount on boot now? [18:26] how ? [18:26] I just installed ubutntu 10.04 home edition onto my computer and now it says i have to do mainetenance on the computer, however I do not know what commands to use. [18:26] !grub2 | Legend_Xeon [18:26] Legend_Xeon: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [18:26] tucemiux: that is manualy in a graphic envirnment. you need cli? [18:26] ok [18:26] Thanks so much [18:26] brontoeee: no, you have to update /etc/fstab [18:27] hitting ctrl-alt-del a few times gives me the shutdown dialog, but the mouse cursor (which was visible when asking about install/run Live) is invisible and no menus or anything [18:27] My menu icons are all greyscale for some reason [18:27] AlleyKatt: re-download the .iso, and re-burn it :) or if your laptop boots to USB, do it that way [18:28] hmm so b0rked livecd... I burned the image off ubuntu.com at 4x, too fast? [18:28] sacarlson, i can do it with a GUI, thank you, i have to use the command line [18:28] I am trying to download ubuntu 10.04 off of a CD, but nothing happens when I turn on the computer with it inside [18:29] !md5 | AlleyKatt [18:29] AlleyKatt: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:29] ikonia: here is the syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/489353/ [18:29] tucemiux: you want to mount it at boot? the modify /etc/fstab file [18:29] Solved> check your bios boot sequence [18:29] AlleyKatt: frankly, CD's are a medium which are undependable and imo should never be used. borked livecds burns are common, even at the lowest speed [18:30] AlleyKatt: also depends on your burner/how old/brand/etc [18:30] ikonia, sudo gedit /etc/fstab [18:30] ? [18:30] AlleyKatt: More likely to be an incompatibility with your hardware. If you want to make sure your image is good, make an md5 of it and compare it against the sum listed on the Website. [18:30] sacarlson, no, i just wanted to mount it **manually**, it looks like the rescue cd I have doesnt support ext3, I have to download a newer rescue CD [18:30] i fixed it; nevermind [18:30] lol [18:30] tucemiux: also look at man mount if you want to do mount and umount functions on the command line [18:31] hi guys...I have added a locally-connected printer into localhost:631, but when I do a search for it on another machine on the same network, nothing appears. Would someone mind guiding me? [18:31] tucemiux: well without a system that won't support ext3 then the commands won't help you need a kernel that will support it. [18:31] I am trying to download ubuntu 10.04 off of a CD, but nothing happens when I turn on the computer with it inside. I am a beginner to ubuntu, although I do understand the basics to the terminal [18:32] where can I find any docs on how to simulate a MultiTouch device? [18:32] rob_p She burned it in win7, with the drivers that were installed with the burner more than likely. I doubt it was an incompatability with her hw :P [18:32] how do i use ldapmodify to change the olcAccess settings? [18:32] Solved, have you verified that your computer is set to boot off of the cd-rom in your computers BIOS screen? [18:32] Solved>> are you trying to boot from the CD ?? [18:32] How do I reduce the default font size for application windows, etc? [18:33] RandomTime, go to System > Preferences > Appearance and you will see the font options. [18:33] Solved>> as said before check your bios boot sequence to see if u're booting off the CD first [18:33] Solved: did you burn the ISO image to a CD and changed BIOS settings to change boot order? [18:33] Delvien: Either way, it's a waste of time to have them re-download the image. If it's suspected of being corrupt, an md5 will answer it in a hurry. [18:34] I have a CD that I ordered from ubuntu. (10.04 LTS) [18:34] headkase314: thanks [18:34] RandomTime, you're welcome! ;) [18:34] Good choice Solved [18:34] Solved>> did you check the boot sequence of the computer ???? [18:35] Should downloading a regular .iso install from ubuntu.com, and dd'ing it to a usb-drive, result in a working, live cd pen?

[18:35] Try to see if you computer has an option while booting up to hit a key and choose right away what the boot device will be [18:35] jarlg: no; use unetbootin [18:36] unetbootin is good [18:36] Delvien: wow your intenet must be fast to think that you can download a system that fast. [18:36] erUSUL: Is there any way to get a corresponding .img file? [18:36] sacarlson: I download a full image in 6 minutes. [18:36] jarlg: dunno; [18:36] erUSUL: Okay. Thanks. :) [18:36] uhmm... no... the md5 actually checks out [18:37] AlleyKatt: how old/new is the laptop? [18:37] Delvien: remind you not everyone here is rich in bandwith like you. like me in thailand we don't got it yet. [18:37] do i can founde ubintu vmare image [18:37] Delvien: Not everyone has a broadband connection! Anyway, checking the md5 hash is pretty trivial.

[18:38] How can I check which driver Lucid is using for my display card? It's causing some serious pixelation, and I suspect that it might be using the wrong one [18:38] sacarlson: There are always torrents, which would be faster than an http dl. :P [18:38] tucemiux, is there a way I can change my hostname?

[18:40] Delvien: thanx [18:40] maybe I can get a cli boot disk from somewhere with gparted? [18:40] AlleyKatt: dv6 is an older laptop model i thought? [18:41] huh i was wrong [18:41] or press some key combo during boot?

[18:41] AlleyKatt: When you boot up the livecd it gives you a couple options, you should see one that says "safe video mode" or something (been a long time since I installed from graphical) [18:42] Delvien: Hmmm...no proprietary drivers in use. I am currently also having difficulty with the ppp setup on this laptop, so I don't think that will, cause it can't connect to refresh [18:42] nah pretty ok new machine, born w/ win7 x64 [18:42] linuxson26: what gfx card do you use?

I got a different output in terminal after I connected the phone [18:44] AlleyKatt: yeah but there should be a hotkey, f6 IIRC, that will alow you to boot with safe video settings [18:44] no ubuntu firewall gurrus in da house??

[19:47] <_mrn_ver_> i try to install kernel 2.6.35 .i have downloaded it by "curl" command .it is showing in shell that it got downloaded.but when i try to install it,it is showing:http://codepad.org/d6bgb3VD [19:47] xcyclist: okiedoke.. go to a terminal and type "sudo su" (shouldnt ask for a pw) then "dhclient -r" and then "dhclient eth0" [19:47] Grappleseed, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [19:47] Grappleseed: could try chromium :) [19:47] ActionParsnip: what's that? [19:48] "There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 4823" [19:48] Grappleseed: its the open source version which chrome is based on [19:48] <_mrn_ver_> then i tried to install ncurses .it is showing:http://codepad.org/A9tsyE2O [19:48] <_mrn_ver_> please help me :( [19:48] Grappleseed, That's Google chrome without all the google tracking [19:48] !kernel | _mrn_ver_ [19:48] _mrn_ver_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [19:48] Ah i see. [19:49] xcyclist: killall dhclient, then try again [19:49] Odd: Now I show a eth0:avahi Link... with inet addr:169.254.8.162. [19:49] Grappleseed: its in the repo now. There's also a daily build ppa if you want bleeding edge [19:49] Well, if this goes well, I'll not be using it anymore anyway. [19:49] Thanks though. [19:49] xcyclist: check your net then ping www.google.com [19:49] ActionParsnip: Codename: lucid [19:49] Grappleseed: you could use a download helper like uget [19:49] xcyclist: you should get no timeouts, and constant pings [19:49] Kills: ok all I can suggest is log a bug [19:50] No such dhclient found on killall. [19:50] what happened, I see a log of kicks [19:50] And the eth0:avahi thing is still up. [19:50] Sorry I really don't know what that means. [19:50] I feel a bit intimidated, all you people seem to be super computer savvy. [19:50] Kills: if you run: ubuntu-bug gwibber ,it will start the ball rolling [19:50] xcyclist: open a new terminal and type "ping www.google.com" [19:50] Trying the torrent right now. === DoubleString is now known as ZNC_DoubleString [19:51] Grappleseed: bleeding edge means compiled very recently [19:51] I know what that means haha. [19:51] Grappleseed: Its a facade! [19:51] I meant, what's ppa, or the repo? [19:51] Cannot ping. "ping: unknown host google.com" [19:51] hi, I've got problems watching DVDs. I installed the libdvdcss, and the DVD is played, however, every 20 seconds or so, the sound interrupts for a fraction of a second, and the video is quite "fluent", but not at a normal rate, either... any ideas? [19:51] Grappleseed: ppa and repo are just names for the servers you download stuff from in software centre [19:51] mobasher, hi .. [19:51] Delvien: Cannot ping. "ping: unknown host www.google.com" [19:52] xcyclist: are the lights on the ethernet cord lighting up?

See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [19:52] Grappleseed: the official ones are called repositorys, or repos for short. If you add 3rd party servers to download from they will be ppas or personal package archives [19:52] Grappleseed: ok - just trying to help [19:53] TooR4u> k where were we ? [19:53] calwig: there are many content management systems. Do some googling [19:53] OHHH repository. [19:53] Thanks. [19:53] Grappleseed, download the torrent from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ .. Scroll down to see the list of files and download the .torrent file which is for your system. [19:53] calwig: !info is used for searching the ubuntu repo [19:53] mobasher, http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/3958/screenshot1ml.png [19:53] smw i have, theres hundreds [19:53] smw: ok thx [19:53] Grappleseed: every day is a school day :) [19:53] Delvien: I am still in root. I did it, and no change. [19:53] calwig: try #CMS or #SMS - one of'em is for the CMS Made Simple project [19:53] xcyclist: still no lights? [19:54] calwig: well, what do you need one for? [19:54] hai guise, whats going on in here? [19:54] Yeah I'm downloading right now. [19:54] On my crappy internet, 5.0 kb/s [19:54] TooR4u >> have you install ubuntu on this 414 GB partition ? [19:54] Grappleseed: jeeez.. [19:54] Delvien: Yes, we still have no lights. [19:54] mobasher, imin [19:54] smw: creating a prof website [19:54] Yeah, I'm out of work right now, so my internet is kind of cancelled. [19:55] And I'm using a wireless n network from the library about 50 meters down the street. [19:55] when MemTest+ has run halfway, I should be pretty safe that its not a mem problem right? [19:55] TooR4u >> why the partition type is showing w95 ext d ?? it's suppose to show ext or something [19:55] Grappleseed, 'borrow' your neighbors internet [19:55] My neighbours all have WEP, which I know is easy to break into. [19:55] calwig: if you want a very pro system, try #drupal [19:55] But I really don't want to do anything illegal. [19:55] drupal :( [19:56] Grappleseed: yep its illegal to use a naighbours wireless, without permission [19:56] xcyclist: Well no lights mean 1 of couple things 1) bad cord 2) cord is not making lead contact 3) your net card is non-standard and some offbrand Bull--- that isnt supported / drivers available / not reconginized 4) you dont have it pluged in all the way on either end or ... 5) the port on the router is bad / router is not doing its job [19:56] What about if they have no encription, does that count as permission? [19:56] Grappleseed: I assume the using without knowing doesn't count though, but I don't know for sure [19:56] Grappleseed: It's still without their conscent [19:56] AlleyKatt: im there [19:57] Grappleseed: we can only advise you. Technically its their responsibility to keep you out ;) [19:57] AlleyKatt: will see what they say now, have you used one? [19:57] Oh well, you have to sign into the library's internet to use it, so that counts as permission. [19:57] TooR4u >> i have never install ubuntu from the live CD session not sure if you could even do that [19:57] Grappleseed: and legally your braking the law if you knowingly use it without permission === zen is now known as Guest93748 [19:57] Grappleseed: and maybe also if your using it without knowing [19:57] mobasher, you can. Atleast in 10.04 [19:57] lol, "this house is unlocked, maybe I can walk in and eat food without permission legally." [19:58] dpac_>> oh okay..didn't know that my bad...do you think you can help TooR4u with that ? [19:58] Grappleseed: if you want to be a good naighbour though, you could go over there, and explain to them about wireless encryption, or try to [19:58] !pastebinit http://imagebin.org/112897 [19:58] Grappleseed: pretty much sums it up :). Like it [19:58] Delvien: I really appreciate your help Delvien. I am going to try a bunch of things with the wires to make sure I am sane. I will get back and announce any success, but for now perhaps it's best to stop using your time. [19:58] xcyclist: regardless of if you are connected to the lan/wan, you should still at least see 1 light on the card [19:58] Thank you again Devian. [19:58] Grappleseed: exactly if there house is unlocked, you can't just legally go in there, well same thing for their wireless when it comes to using [19:58] dpac_>> he's stuck at >> http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/3958/screenshot1ml.png [19:58] mobasher, I haven't been following the conversation, so I am not sure. [19:58] Grappleseed, just crack the WEP then go in and QoS yourself and change the routers password. Dont forget to setup DMZ or virtual hosts for you ftp and vent server [19:58] Delvien: Yes. [19:59] xcyclist: good luck, sorry i couldnt solve it for ya [19:59] dpac_ >> he's trying to install the ubuntu and he's having problems with installation that's all [19:59] Man how do you guys even stand a channel with 1368 people in it.

[19:59] dpac_ > http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2249/screenshotk.png [19:59] in GParted, does swapon add that swap partition to a system's caching? [19:59] Grappleseed: just read. Its not hard :) [19:59] CkhiKuzad: yes [19:59] mobasher, I think I might be able to help.

[20:00] dpac_, hi .. [20:00] np bud :) [20:00] CkhiKuzad: also if you boot livecd and its spots some swapspace it will use it [20:00] TooR4u, hey [20:00] Grappleseed, seriously theres been times when i didnt even ralize there were other convos going on cause i was so focused on the 1 or 2 people i was helping [20:01] I'm trying to expand my extended partition using gparted on livecd [20:01] dpac_, did you saw the partition table of mine ..? [20:01] but without success [20:01] calwig: sure, several... CMSMS is great for simpler things, very user friendly === private is now known as fiboll [20:01] dpac_, http://pastebin.ca/1934503 [20:01] TooR4u, w95 ext just means that its an extended partition. Extended partition is not the partition you want to install your ubuntu on. Extended partitions are further logically divided into more partitions. In your case its ntfs [20:02] calwig: drupal is generall NOT - otoh, its very advanced and got the modules to extend it ad infinitum [20:02] dpac_, yah .. how to get rid of that extended partition ..?? [20:02] I have ubuntu desktop installed right now. can I switch to kubuntu or lubuntu for my user account, but keep gnome ubuntu for my wife's account? [20:02] generally* [20:02] dpac_, without loosing data ..?? :) [20:02] ActionParsnip, How do i check how much swap my system is currently using? [20:03] AlleyKatt: i need it for a website im dl it now, will see how it functions [20:03] Friar: sure, install the other desktops. You can select the desktop at login at the bottom of the screen [20:03] CkhiKuzad, df -h [20:03] free -m [20:03] Even [20:03] TooR4u, How much data do you have on that 414GB partition? [20:03] CkhiKuzad: df -h; free -m [20:03] Wrong channel >_> [20:03] any tips to do that? [20:03] almost 380 gb [20:03] Friar, yes gdm login screen will allow you to choose a window manager. simply run tasksel to install kde or whatever [20:03] Thanks ikey and ActionParsnip [20:03] ActionParsnip, thanks...I appreciate it! sudo apt-get install ??? kubuntu? lubuntu? [20:03] dpac_, almost 380 gb [20:04] pfifo, what is tasksel? [20:04] lol pfifo: I don't have any program atm to crack the WEP, I don't know which ones to get , I don't know what QoS means, I don't know how to remotely change a router's passowrd. And I don't know how to set up DMZ or a virtual host. [20:04] Friar: kubuntu-desktop and lxde will do it [20:04] I'm going to learn though eventually. [20:04] Friar, a program that installs a list of packages [20:04] TooR4u, So you want to install Ubuntu on the free space? [20:04] woot. 4198 megabytes of swap. [20:04] dpac_, yah ..

[20:04] Friar: you can use gnome apps in kde and lxde if you wish [20:05] calwig: let me put it this way, drupal is a waste of time if you need it for a small, few-pages (<100) project with no advanced database requirements and/or extreme extendability... or in other words [20:05] Snappleseed, Brave new world :S [20:05] cmsms is great for your local physiotherapist's website, drupal is what runs the white house website [20:05] netsplit? === mentr-food is now known as mentr_bnc [20:06] TooR4u, You can use gparted to shrink the size of 414gb partition to around 385 GB.

I tried live CD but without success [20:10] jrib heh well no bot is going to answer 3 questions, and then go reregister [20:10] dreux: loose the / at the beginning; see where you downloaded it or where the folder is, navigate to that [20:11] Wiesshund: well it's just one question :P [20:11] TooR4u, It is showing NTFS. Isn't it NTFS? [20:11] Does Ubuntu have enterprise support in parity with RedHat Enterprise Linux or Novel's offerings? [20:11] Hello there. can anybody help me out with this? I have decided to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 and I get an upgrade error stating : could not calculate the upgrade [20:11] i had to answer 3, maybe i answered to slow [20:11] ActionParsnip, let me show my gparted scrn [20:11] dpac, it is ntfs [20:11] Wiesshund: and you don't have to do both, you can either answer the question or just register and never be bothered again [20:11] Is there any way to see what's going wrong? [20:11] Why is Ubuntu better than the cloud? [20:11] ra2010: you need to do it there so the partitions are unmounted. You may have to swapoff the swap space too [20:11] dpac_, correct [20:12] Knew, canonical offers support for ubuntu. [20:12] So why is Ubuntu better than the cloud? [20:12] jrib got me since i was already regged, and authed with nickserv. maybe bad day for floodbot [20:12] dpac_, okey, never mind .. tell me what should i do .? :) [20:12] !ot | Knew [20:12] Knew: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:12] ActionParsnip, please take a look at my gparted scrn http://imagebin.org/112897 [20:13] TooR4u, You want to install ubuntu on the 80GB partition or on this external drive? [20:13] benishor: do you have the package ubuntu-desktop installed (or one of the other -desktop packages) [20:13] ActionParsnip: how can I check? [20:13] Where would one look for the brasero plugin transcode2vob? seems it is needed to make any kind of dvd format disk, but i dont see anything like it in the software list [20:13] ra2010: my web is cripplingly slow. It'd take years to load [20:13] ActionParsnip: I'm currently running gnome after having installed kde [20:13] !find transcode2vob [20:13] benishor: software centre and search [20:13] Package/file transcode2vob does not exist in lucid [20:13] dpac_, actually, the 80 gb partition is in the external hdd. :) [20:13] ActionParsnip, just 50k png file [20:13] Wiesshund, i use tovid, it is great for making DVDs [20:13] vcoolio, I get this dreux@dreux-laptop:~$ gtk-enginesxl_cheese gtk-enginesxl_cheese: command not found . . . but I know its located in my downloads folder [20:14] there are 2 partitions in my external hdd [20:14] ra2010: it takes me about 200 seconds to load pastebin.com then another 30 or so for the text [20:14] dreux: ok, then: cd ~/Downloads/gtk-enginges [20:14] Anyway, this whole installing Ubuntu thing for me is actually sort of an endeavour into trying to become more advanced at manipulating a computer. [20:14] ActionParsnip: perhaps this might be what you're refering to : http://hq.scene.ro/upgrade_error.png [20:14] TooR4u, Is it completely free?

But, yah it is free .. :) [20:15] Ok [20:15] ActionParsnip: my pic is 17kb in size [20:15] Grappleseed: as you use the OS you will learn, the same you did with the other OSes [20:15] benishor: loading [20:16] Grappleseed: you'll get used to it by using it [20:16] yeah, I figure. [20:16] benishor: loaded [20:16] ActionParsnip: Only downside is, the learning curve is quite steep, and in the meantime, the rest of your work stands still [20:16] TooR4u, Cool, backup the 3gb data onto the 414GB partition. Format the 80GB partition into Ext3 [20:16] Grappleseed: same here. I started with dos and then all windows flavours [20:16] dpac_, okey .. 1min.. [20:16] benishor: ok you may need to run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop [20:16] I used DOS only when i was really young. [20:16] I'm only 19. [20:16] linuxson26: true, same with any OS [20:16] But my dad was in the computer business. [20:16] TooR4u, Use gparted. Infact, make 78GB Ext3 and 2GB Swap [20:17] dpac_, okey .. [20:17] Grappleseed, im an unlicensed surgeon I specialize in brain implants, i have a chip here that will make you an expert overnight. You intrested? [20:17] ActionParsnip: True... :) [20:17] ActionParsnip, let me describe it here... I have Unallocated space in the begining, then /dev/sda3 extended... and inside it /dev/sda5 ext3 and /dev/sda6 linux-swap [20:17] You know, instead of watching TV, I played computer games. [20:17] Ubuntu support sucks. [20:17] Knew: depends [20:17] Grappleseed: I first started with kde based ubuntu ( because I was coming from a windows culture ) and then turned to gnome because it was better integrated and generally felt smoother [20:17] I got an e-mail back about Ubuntu ext2 errors [20:17] Knew: on wo is helping you [20:17] Delvien: You still there? [20:18] ActionParsnip: currently reinstalling === DJVistaMan is now known as DJVistaMan_ [20:18] This is what it said: The consumer should be aware that he or she may be the only entity in [20:18] the universe, and therefore that any perceived defects in Ubuntu's [20:18] quality are the consumer's own fault. === DJVistaMan_ is now known as DJVistaMan [20:18] Anyway, gotta go do some laundry, so brb. [20:18] Knew: whats tis? [20:18] this [20:18] sebsebseb, the e-mail [20:18] Knew: an email? [20:18] hi, could someone hint how can i set desktop_session variable manually. My openbox does not seem to understand that it is running openbox and i am getting error [20:19] Knew: uhmm you can pay for support from Canonical, or get support in this channel for example and the forums from the community [20:19] sebsebseb, ok [20:19] is there any way to mount a mssql database on linux? [20:19] Knew: So who did you email? or whatever [20:19] kurrata, Export desktop_session = value in terminal [20:19] Knew: Whats this about an email? [20:19] This is driving me nuts!! Not only does this pixelation on my laptop display suck, but it's intermittent as well!!! [20:19] vcoolio its not working im typing the file name word for word too [20:19] Knew: or were you just attention seeking? [20:20] kurrata: did you already try to use fluxbox or you really want to use openbox? [20:20] hmmm .. still same error while trying to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "can not mark ubuntu-desktop for upgrade". Can anyone please help out with this? [20:20] Sweet the download's up to 100 kb/s [20:20] WOOOO [20:20] Knew: ok you were trolling it seems [20:20] !10.10 | benishor [20:20] benishor: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:20] benishor, #ubuntu+1 channel [20:20] lucascastro i moved to opnebox from fluxbox [20:20] please, I just want to expand my Ubuntu partition with the space of a windows deleted part... any tips? [20:21] dreux: first: cd (now you're in your home folder); then: cd Downloads (now you should be in your Downloads folder); then: cd cheese else I don't know; learn some commandline basics first [20:21] ra2010: Gparted [20:21] dreux: remember it's all sensitive for capitals too [20:21] ra2010, use gparted to adjust your partitions [20:21] kurrata: I've used fluxbox some years ago. [20:21] linuxson26: I already tried it without success... [20:22] !details | ra2010 [20:22] ra2010: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:22] linuxson26: let me describe the gparted partition map... I have Unallocated space in the begining, then /dev/sda3 extended... and inside it /dev/sda5 ext3 and /dev/sda6 linux-swap [20:22] dreux: also, since I'm sensing you're new at this, use 'sudo checkinstall' instead of 'sudo make install' as third step if you get there https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [20:23] ra2010: you can use gparted to resize your windows partition and create a linux partition and mount in your system. [20:23] ra2010: So you had windows installed first, and then added ubuntu? [20:23] yep [20:23] now I deleted the windows one [20:23] dreux: echo $PWD to see what folder you're currently in; ls to see what files/folders are available [20:23] and wanna to expand my Ubuntu to get that waisted space [20:24] Vcoolio, I get dreux@dreux-laptop:~/Downloads$ cd xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themes.tar.gz bash: cd: xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themes.tar.gz: Not a directory [20:24] ra2010: Ok... you will then have to look for some other third party partitioning software. Try downloading Hirens Boot CD. It has a whole bunch of hdd tools [20:24] dreux: that's an archive, extract that first [20:24] ra2010: so you can do that and solve the problem. [20:24] any1 out there who knows how to deal with laptop sound quality problems? [20:24] VCoolio, actually 'pwd' works just as fine. Trying not to overcomplicate things [20:25] dreux: sudo apt-get install unp then: unp xl_chees [20:25] dpac_: right, sorry :) [20:25] linuxson26: thks [20:25] hi [20:25] hi [20:26] pfifo: about that chip .. whats included? [20:26] what package is basero in? [20:26] vcoolio, reux@dreux-laptop:~/Downloads$ unp xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themes xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themesdreux@dreux-laptop:~/Downloads$ [20:26] pfifo, do you mean brasero? [20:26] ra2010: np :) [20:27] ra2010: Just proceed with caution though... [20:27] hello [20:27] In pidgin, how do I REMOVE old groups? [20:27] dpac_, yah .. i did that .. but, it is freezing here .. http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/5246/screenshot2uf.png [20:27] dreux: sorry? that doesn't make sense [20:28] ndiondgodgn: right click on the group name and delete it [20:28] no [20:28] "Buffer I/O error on device sr0" - any1 know what that is? [20:28] I'ts still there [20:28] I've done that before [20:28] man trying to use xfce4 and keep the system minimal, but at this point im almost completly installed gnome [20:28] but when I want to add a buddy to a new group [20:28] it still shows all the group names [20:28] hmm not the next step isn't working vcoolio. thats what it showed me after I unpacked the cheese engine [20:28] TooR4u, Don't start the installer. Use gparted from the menu [20:28] AlleyKatt, error from cdrom drive (sr0) [20:28] now* [20:29] it is unpacked? then there should be a folder to 'cd' into [20:29] dreux: ^ [20:29] TooR4u, Or does that come after you've setup the partitions already? [20:29] dpac_, i didn't use the installer .. i did the partitions using gparted .. [20:29] dpac_, yah . i have done the partitions using gparted and tried to install again .. :) [20:29] hmmmm 2nd disc... so it gotta be either the burner or the reader, testing in another machine [20:29] ndiondgodgn, try #pidgin [20:30] TooR4u, How long did you wait? It shouldn't take long, though. [20:31] vcoolio, Im in the folder now but the second part doesn't work still the autogen part [20:31] dpac_, it didnt took long.. first i have converted all the space into ext3. then i have deleted the partition again and made the swap space .. So, it took some time .. [20:31] dreux: what does it say? [20:32] vcoolio, /autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-animation ---> bash: /autogen.sh: No such file or directory [20:32] TooR4u, Can I see your partition table? sudo fdisk -l in terminal [20:33] dpac_, [20:33] ok .. [20:33] dreux: oh, i see, there are subfolders, NOW you need 'cd gtk-enginesxl_cheese' [20:33] dreux: there are other folders with themes in them [20:33] dpac_, http://pastebin.ca/1934544 [20:34] vcoolio, im in the gtk folder now and the autogen code is still no go [20:35] TooR4u, I don't see the changes you've made. It still shows sdb5 as NTFS [20:35] dpac_, sorry .. pasted wrong link .. http://pastebin.ca/1934548 [20:35] dreux: again, what does it say? the file is there now.. [20:35] dpac_, that is correct one .. my bad [20:35] How do I backup my SSD (dd if=? of=?) if I want to boot to liveCD and realign partition table. Doesn't dd /dev/sda backup the partition table as well? [20:36] good evening [20:36] anyone with problems over here ? [20:36] dose apt-get install grub-pc try to install grub2 into your mbr, and try to create a /boot/grub directory, or do you have to run grub-install afterwards? [20:36] Maletor: use fsarchiver to archive the filesystems withing ? [20:36] pfifo: the former [20:37] TooR4u, No problem. I see its alright. I don't see anything wrong with it. [20:37] how to delete mail for another user in postfix? [20:37] like bulk delete [20:37] dpac_, so, what is the next step .. ?? [20:37] vcoolio, dreux@dreux-laptop:~/Downloads/xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themes/gtk-enginesxl_cheese$ /autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-animation ----> bash: /autogen.sh: No such file or directory [20:37] erUSUL, so if i need to fix my USB drives mbe i should boot a livecd with grub2 already installed? [20:37] mbr* [20:38] dreux: ah, you need a . in front: ./autogen.sh [20:38] pfifo: i dunno what problem are you trying to solve ... [20:38] TooR4u, Is your CD fine. If you have a fast connection, you may try 10.04. I had issues with ubiquity partitioner as well in karmic. I had to resort to upgrading from jaunty [20:38] hello [20:39] BAHAAA, root + irc = nogo [20:39] erUSUL, i installed 8.04.4 and i had my flashdrive plugged in, it overwrote my flashdrives MBR with grub1, now i want to fix it [20:39] vcoolio it said I needed to download files inorder to install this [20:39] dpac_, Hmm . okey .. i will download 10.04 .. :) [20:39] pfifo: you want to install grub2 mbr in the flash drive? use grub-install ? [20:40] where can i find the proxy configuration file? [20:40] dreux: what files? [20:40] erUSUL, i dont have grub-install, im using 8.04.4 [20:40] pfifo: use a livecd ? [20:40] You must have autoconf installed to compile GTK+./You must have automake 1.7.x installed to compile ./You must have libtool installed to compile GTK+. [20:40] TooR4u, That should work flawlessly. Also, please confirm the md5hash after downloading to confirm the integrity of the file you downloaded [20:40] erUSUL, ok thats what i thought, thanks [20:40] vcoolio ^ [20:41] dpac_, ok sure .. [20:41] where's the config file that stores which ubuntu mirror to use? [20:41] pfifo: or chroot to the flash drive from the 8.04 install to the flash drive install [20:41] dreux: ah, you're really doing this for the first time; ok: sudo apt-get install build-essential automake checkinstall [20:41] erUSUL, good idea, but thats a no go, flash drive just contains a bunch of isos [20:41] yea im new to this vcoolio, but im sure your noticed that lol [20:42] pfifo: i see; [20:42] dreux: then try again, and do 'sudo checkinstall' instead of 'sudo make install' later [20:43] is there a utility to update sources.list? i need to pick a new mirror [20:43] dreux: you can install libtool and autoconf too if it's not included; also you may need libgtk2.0-dev but wait for it to complain about it [20:43] dreux, VCoolio's checkinstall suggestion is a very good one - but realize that will create a DEB file that you can then install/uninstall using the regular package mechanism [20:43] beefheart, add-apt-repository [20:43] beefheart: System>Admin...>Software sources [20:44] Hiho [20:44] ZykoticK9: I'm afraid we're not there yet, but thanks; good thing I've nothing important to do and there is beer [20:44] Hi [20:44] err, sorry let me /part [20:44] how can i update the system behind a proxy with authentication?

[20:51] uhh no..? [20:52] dreux: I've got an idea to quicken things: sudo apt-get build-dep gtk2-engines-clearlooks <-- this will install everything you need to compile clearlooks, which is another engine; we're not going to do that, but the dependencies are the same [20:52] i cant find some packages and i want to imstall it to help me to compile anyone can help me to find some old packages ? [20:52] AlleyKatt it will make a usb liveCD for you, and it does it pretty easily. [20:53] ok vcoolio [20:53] yup got the page, thanks! Readin' [20:54] I told me this after it was done vcoolio. . .

[20:56] vcoolio I took off the clearlooks part and it is installing [20:56] because you scroll everyone else off the screen, something common sense should tell you [20:57] dreux: cool; after that, back to ./autogen.sh until it's done complaining [20:57] no that that [20:57] but the why I was using cdl [20:58] WarrenSH can you reask the question, all on one line? [20:58] WarrenSH, you could shorten your command to "mkdir -p tmp/a/b" as all one command [20:58] its still telling me I need automake and libtool eventhough I downloaded those already vcoolio [21:00] dreux: if you do 'which automake' does it reply /usr/bin/automake? [21:00] dreux, did you use apt to install automake? "apt-cache policy automake" does it show as installed? [21:01] yea it does vcoolio, and no zykotick9 [21:01] Howdy!

[21:06] diogo_79: did you backup xorg.conf first? or you might find a backup file [21:06] LorgonJortle, you don't want to get rid of 2.6, it is used for all sorts of things behind the scenes. Does typing "python3" without the quotes in a terminal start Python 3.1.2?

Python 3+ file extensions are also ".py3" [21:08] diogo_79: chose resume [21:08] diogo_79: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:08] coz_, mine looks different [21:08] sorry [21:08] guys [21:08] k [21:08] If I boot into a liveCD and type `sudo fdisk -H 32 -S 32 /dev/sda` will that destroy my data?

I'd like to install ubuntu from minimal-cd image. But I need to run "ethtool" command to get my network card up. How can I do that after I boot ubuntu minimal-cd?? [21:09] and enter my user name [21:09] LorgonJortle, you're welcome. [21:09] samuel2010, but the mute symbol should be similar [21:09] zenlol, type /nickserv helpand it will explain how to register your username. once you do that #python will let you in [21:09] does anyone knows how to freeze a window in pidgin when looking at old entries on IRC? [21:09] help not helpand [21:09] nope not the same coz_ [21:09] diogo_79>> enter the username that you created during the ubuntu installation and password [21:09] samuel2010, let me see a screenshot jut hit alt+printscreen to get that [21:10] yes [21:10] i have done that [21:10] Hello! I asked this already at #kubuntu but nothing really came of it. [21:10] Hi. I'd like to install ubuntu from minimal-cd image. But I need to run "ethtool" command to get my network card up. How can I do that after I boot ubuntu minimal-cd?? [21:10] and then what happens aftet that diogo_79? [21:10] its still saying You must have automake 1.7.x vcoolio :/ === pilif|bike is now known as Pilif12p [21:10] coz_, will do [21:10] i have a console display [21:10] My computer refuses to boot now that I have updated the kernel. [21:11] i have backup the xorg.conf file and delete the xorg.conf [21:11] diogo_79: can you type commands? or is it frozen? [21:11] <[Dead][Pixel]> I have a 2tb external WD my book external hard drive, and it was working fine, it has 1tb of data on it, and I can't lose it. I had the disk attached to a windows PC and I reassigned the drive letter to it, and rebooted, and now this drive will not connected to ANY computer. In linux here is my error message: http://pastebin.com/25g0p3qj in windows it says i have to format it [21:11] possible/how to create a system that will boot both 32,64-bit? [21:11] coz_, http://imagebin.ca/view/5x-Vre.html [21:11] may i resume the system? [21:11] yes i can type commands [21:11] LorgonJortle, is Wing IDE compatible with Python 3+? Python 2.x and 3+ are not compatible. If Wing IDE was written for 2.x then you'll need to run it using the 2.x interpreter. If it's written for 3+ then python3 is the right one to start it with. [21:11] kthomas_vh, you'd need to dual boot 32 & 64 bit installs [21:11] samuel2010, ok yes you see the douible "MM" below the sliders? [21:11] diogo_79: run 'sudo init 1 to go back to the so-called recovery mode [21:11] coz_, yeah [21:11] samuel2010, those are muted [21:12] diogo_79: 'sudo init 1' [21:12] ok [21:12] diogo_79: and then choose grub [21:12] ok [21:12] hey guys, having problems with installing ANY distro with a kernel above 2.6.31.(whatever) on my new laptop - any suggestions as to where to snag support for an issue like that? [21:12] ZykoticK9, essentially, different installs... ? [21:12] samuel2010, with the arrow buttons scroll to one of them and hit the m letter on the keyboard to unmute [21:12] coz_, so i need to press M on them and they will work ? [21:12] !runlevels | mkanyicy [21:12] mkanyicy: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [21:12] kthomas_vh, correct [21:12] headkase314: Ah.... I've been using it with 2.6, so it mustn't be for 3.x. I guess I'll wait for the next release. :-P [21:12] samuel2010, yes the lowercase "m" [21:12] got it, thanks :) [21:12] dreux: now I'm out of options; if it's installed and autogen complains it's not I don't know; maybe it asks for a very specific version? [21:13] LorgonJortle, you should still be able to write 3+ code in it just run it separately in a terminal using python3 then.. Good luck with the programming! ;) [21:13] samuel2010, if you keep hitting the right arrow button you may have more sliders beyond the window border there [21:13] coz_, u are a GENIUS!!! [21:13] coz_, LOOOVING U!!! [21:13] dreux: doesn't it say automake >= 1.7.x ? it may be configured for karmic and now lucid's automake is too new, just guessing [21:13] VCoolio, the version for automake 1.7 is much older then the 1.11 included in Lucid, not sure what version dreux is using? [21:13] headkase314: :-D [21:13] samuel2010, also the "UP" arrow and "Down" arrows raise and lower volumes [21:13] ZykoticK9: 1.11 [21:13] yea vcoolio you must have automake 1.7.x installed to compile [21:14] coz_, thanks dude. (or dudette) [21:14] ZykoticK9, why is your name not tab-complete-able? [21:14] samuel2010, no problem ..enjoy :) [21:14] mkanyicy, it is Z y TAB [21:14] coz_, r u using macbook running ubuntu [21:14] ? [21:14] My computer won't boot after a kernel upgrade. Any suggestions? [21:14] How do I change the settings for the splash screen at boot? [21:14] samuel2010, no I am not sorry... but the settings should be identical as far as I know [21:14] dreux: then ask the author of the app to update his source thing, it has been a year; create a command [21:14] guys i have the problem solved [21:14] How can I fix my misaligned SSD? [21:14] comment I mean, on his gnome-look page [21:15] i have delete xorg.conf [21:15] and recreate with nvisia-xconfig [21:15] i am back with a x server [21:15] !yay| diogo_79 [21:15] diogo_79: Glad you made it! :-) [21:15] yah diogo_79 [21:15] I just want to run fdisk -H 32 -S 32 so that I can have it working properly. I will do this from liveCD. Will this destroy data? [21:15] coz_, yeah should be. only need to get my isight working now and then ill be happy ! [21:16] vcoolio so there is no automake 1.7.x ? [21:16] Maletor: what do you want to do? [21:16] Is there any way to mount ext4 in gutsy? [21:16] dreux: sorry, you're out of luck here; he needs to fix his source code; happens sometimes, you spend a lot of time and end up with nothing; you shouldn't need to downgrade automake [21:16] samuel2010, I have no doubts you will get it :) [21:16] mkanyicy: I want to change it from 255 63 to 32 32 [21:16] kyan: dont think so. [21:16] kyan: gutsy is not suported [21:16] how can I change the system locale language from german to english on ubuntu server? command line only... [21:17] how can I change the settings (font sizes etc) for the terminal I get after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6? [21:17] so I have to look for a new theme then vcoolio [21:17] Maletor: maybe I got you from midway, I do not understand what your numbers mean. [21:17] Hmm. I'm trying to learn the version of the latest kernel in my machine because super GRUB disk isn't seeing it. [21:17] dreux: try the murrine engine, it has transparancy support, much more worth the effort to compile if you ask me [21:17] Maletor: good luck, but if you doubt data loss, I recommend backing up first! [21:17] mkanyicy: Ok. I need to align like this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives [21:17] anyone? [21:17] coz_, haha not worked so far. its looking bleak! haha i might just invest in a USB one might work with no problems. [21:17] how would I boot a live ubuntu such that the image is loaded into ram, much like how knoppix's ram option works? [21:18] anyway coz_ thanks for your help! really much appreciated [21:18] (repeating cause i got buried) hey guys, having problems with installing ANY distro with a kernel above 2.6.31.(whatever) on my new laptop - any suggestions as to where to snag support for an issue like that? [21:18] samuel2010, cool and no problem :) [21:18] Key_Gruin: Edit your rc.conf with the correponding langauge under Locale [21:18] mkanyicy: Otherwise it is aligned improperly. I need to know: Can I do this operation from liveCD and how do I preserve *all* data? [21:18] UBUNTU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bye guys [21:18] nytek_: thanks [21:18] how can I configure the terminal I get after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6? [21:18] kkal: that is set at boot as options to grub [21:18] Key_Gruin: you got it :D [21:18] Key_Gruin: I don't know, sorry -- but you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server [21:19] Key_Gruin: forget what I said :-) [21:19] kkal: the font size is set by options to grub, the color etc can be set in .bashrc [21:19] How do I change the settings for the splash screen at boot? [21:19] crohakon, boot splash is called Plymouth in 10.04 [21:19] th0r: didnt know grub was involved but now it makes sense! thanks :D [21:20] kkal: the screen resolution is set first, in grub, then the rest can be set using escape sequences in .bashrc [21:20] Okay, how do I change the settings for Plymouth? After installing my nvidia drivers it is really low res. [21:20] mkanyicy: Does that make sense? [21:20] any idea the best place to find out why i'm having an issue with kernels above 2.6.31.x? [21:21] etc has no rc.conf [21:21] vcoolio what theme do you use? [21:21] mkanyicy: How do I backup sda? DD will copy partition table right? [21:21] is that where it should be? [21:21] blendmaster1024: If its live it should boot most things into ram. /etc /var /home /root /tmp and so on. [21:21] crohakon, if you use proprietary drivers the low-res is not easily fixable and the fix breaks on every kernel update and you need to redo it. If I remember correctly from when I read about that. [21:21] crohakon, happens to all nvidia settups - see http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ if you REALLY want too (i don't bother) [21:21] Hey, I have a question. Using GNOME and ubuntu 10.04, how do I add more desktops to switch too? [21:21] blendmaster1024: Otherwise the "live" in live-cd/dvd isnt very "alive" :) [21:21] Key_Gruin: are you sure? [21:22] dreux: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Arta-Darker+?content=124965 [21:22] Stealth_, click on the switcher / preferences / add to Columns [21:22] Stealth_: Right-click on the window pager in the corner and pick "Properties", I think. There should be a "Number of Desktops" panel IIRC [21:22] Or that [21:22] Maletor: well, that seems to be some advanced stuff for me, Ivent used SSD's yet, but please backup until you get a confirmation that backup isnt needed [21:22] Ok i will try it now [21:22] nytek_: I have rc.local but no rc.config [21:22] nytek_: the only rc.conf is in /etc/init but serves a different purpose [21:23] hey... is there anyone here that is familure with 3m Serial Touchscreens? [21:23] anybody can help me with some network configuration [21:23] Maletor: If you have another computer on the lan or net somewhere you can use gadmin-rsync to run the backup in an easy way. [21:23] ZykoticK9: I am using compziz so I cant see the desktop changer. [21:23] ill look into finding a new theme thanks a lot for the help vcoolio [21:24] guntbert: well, im not familiar with ubuntu server, does it do something different with the rc.conf? [21:24] dreux: no problem, have fun [21:24] folks, i basically want to have a virtual interface, where every connection in the house has to get by [21:24] Stealth_, add to a panel then. sorry i don't know another way of doing it... [21:24] let's say i'm the gateway [21:24] Ok then mate I will try it [21:24] I'm just going to back up all my data to an external hd then do a complete reinstall. [21:25] Where is a good place to get an answer to a guestion regarding touchscreens.. ubunutu forums? [21:25] Thanks for your help! [21:25] nytek_: in current ubuntu the /etc/init/rc.conf serves to "runs the old System V-style rc script when changing between runlevels" [21:25] ZykoticK9, headkase314 is there a way to just disable it so I can see the text as it boots? [21:26] Hopsa: I mean I want to be able to eject the CD [21:26] guntbert: I see. [21:26] I can add the LANG variables to the .bashrc file also, I have the info for that [21:26] on a user level [21:27] nytek_: did you mean rc.local? (server and desktop are identical in that part) [21:27] crohakon, add/edit the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to /etc/default/grub - then run "sudo update-grub2" [21:27] blendmaster1024: Why ? ... Most live cd's arent aimed for that amount of ram i should think, because they want it to run on most systems. [21:27] I conect my phone to my laptop but it doesnt recognise it what to do? [21:27] crohakon, http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337602 <- those are Karmic instructions, wait until someone says GRUB in Lucid is the same before doing it. [21:28] blendmaster1024: If you want blender or so then i suggest you install Linux and save yourself alot of trouble and get the proper loading speeds. [21:28] Key_Gruin: then you will want to use /etc/bash.bashrc for systemwide settings [21:28] headkase314, I have a fresh install of Lucid with grub 2 [21:29] crohakon, ZykoticK9 said "sudo update-grub2" that is what is different from the instructions I linked to. The file and the command arguments you edit are the same. === Zeike is now known as brandonj [21:29] headkase314, thanks [21:29] ZykoticK9, thanks [21:29] crohakon, you're welcome. [21:30] guntbert: thanks, that would be it [21:30] Hopsa: don't make stupid assumptions about what I want to do based on my nick. [21:30] guntbert: isnt it "bashrc" ? /havnt looked [21:30] Hopsa: I am aware ubuntu is not designed for this. is it possible? [21:31] are ubuntu server questions answered in this chatroom? [21:31] incognito: sure. ask away. [21:31] my samba shares are sometimes missing in certain dialog boxes - is this typical [21:31] Hopsa: no, *I* have looked :-) [21:31] So, I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to configure apache on a server with limited resources. I think I need to set the number of processes spawned (MaxClients) to a low number. However when I look in ubuntu's httpd.conf I find MaxClients is set in three different "MPM" blocks: "prefork", "worker", and "event". What is the difference between these three? [21:32] I'm looking at the MPM documentation but can't figure out how it decides which of these three "MPMs" to use. [21:32] when i go to "places" and network... and try to access the shares from there, it will not work, saying it wont mount after 30 seconds... but I go to "Go" and "location" and type in smb:// it will work. does anyone know why? [21:32] blendmaster1024: calling someone stupid is not so good. Yes, you can load up the remaining filesystem into ram by creating and using a loopback interface via ram0. Not entirely easy but highly doable. [21:32] guntbert: ;) [21:33] no one here knows anything about toucscreens? [21:33] blendmaster1024: First write down whats not loaded into ram: mount will tell you what is. [21:34] how to conect my phone through usb to my laptop to be able to trasfer data???? [21:34] hello [21:34] incognito: feel free to ask here but #ubuntu-server is probably a better source for you [21:34] !hi | logyati [21:34] logyati: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

My 10.04 won't load after the first loading after installation. I know that I need to edit my splash file in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d , but the file is not there. What should I do? Should I copy it from another 1.04 desktop install? [21:34] im trying to connect my pc to internet using bluetooth and iphone tethering [21:34] but im getting this error http://pastebin.com/j8cJgwFr [21:34] often when i use locate there is no file shown even tho i know the file is on my system , any fix for this ? [21:34] thanks gunbert [21:34] Imean guntbert [21:34] incognito: :) [21:35] Hopsa: I figured as much but could you eject the cd? [21:35] ZykoticK9, headkase314, apparently that line already exists... but the splash screen still appears at boot. [21:36] Hey, I'm following this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1508944&highlight=3m+touchscreen to get a 3m touchscreen working, but I am having problems with the calibration software, I think it just not starting correctly. anyone notice anything wrong with the Install script for 10.04? [21:36] blendmaster1024: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM [21:36] crohakon, you need to edit where it says "splash" to "nosplash" and remove "quiet" as an option. [21:36] and this one http://pastebin.com/WKA3RiVm [21:36] please help :( [21:36] blendmaster1024: Yes, but you need to unmount everything that locks/reads from the cd before you can eject it. [21:37] when i go to "places" and network... and try to access the shares from there, it will not work, saying it wont mount after 30 seconds... but I go to "Go" and "location" and type in smb:// it will work. does anyone know why? [21:37] crohakon, I should rephrase that: optionally remove "quiet" if you want to see text as stuff is initialized. [21:37] !enter | logyati [21:37] logyati: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[21:53] ok [21:53] glebihan: think it'd just be easier to download the deb and then dpkg -i it? lol [21:54] bnixy7: I'm afraid I have no clue in this case [21:54] mrmike: yes this should work fine [21:54] benishor: it says "unable to mount location, failed to retrieve share list from server [21:54] Baram2: How did you fix it? [21:54] bnixy7: try ping servername [21:54] does it work>? [21:55] mrmike: otherwise, uncommenting lines 40 and 41 should work too [21:55] bnixy7, is there a password on the Windows share? I seem to recall that nautilus has issues with passworded shares and another possibility may be the netBIOS port is firewalled somewhere between your two connections. [21:55] glebihan: thank you [21:55] mrmike: you're welcome [21:56] headkase314: no, because if i type in the location line: smb:// it will connect and I can modify/change files [21:56] hi [21:56] can anyone help me with ipod touch with rhythmbox? [21:57] please [21:57] !ipod [21:57] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [21:57] bnixy7, have you verified netBIOS is not firewalled then? That is what windows shares use for names. [21:57] headkase314: his issue seems to be related to netbios [21:57] i tried to use it with rhytmbox from about 6 month...but nothing.. [21:58] and i am very new to Linux. so more in depth explanation would be best. [21:58] headkase314: may I PM you? [21:58] Marcofe, try gtkipod [21:58] bnixy7, here's netbios ports -> http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2001-January/023490.html [21:58] Thanks to Wiesshund & Delvien for the great help - now running from usb-stick, ubuntu rul3z! [21:58] bnixy7, I'd prefer to keep it in the channel so others can double-check what I say. Sorry. [21:59] not a problem. so do i check these ports in the terminal? [21:59] (cd drive is broken it seems) [21:59] bnixy7, you check to make sure that those ports are not firewalled or blocked on all devices your connection passes through from (linux)computer to (windows)computer. === sammy is now known as Guest3658 [22:01] Hello I just reset my dlink router and now I am not able to make the wlan work. Is there anybody who might help me?` [22:01] noo: could you pastebin the output of "ifconfig" ? [22:01] headkase314: how do i check this [22:02] how to change permmisions on my mass storage device??? [22:02] noo: how do you connect just now? [22:02] I'm connecting with a 30cm Cable [22:02] Kills: what file system type is it using ? [22:02] Kills~ right click> properties> permissions [22:03] I don't understand why it doesn't work, because it did work before and now I can't make the wlan work :( [22:03] I have a nsf set up. I Can Map to it just fine.. but where / how do I put that into the startup? Does it go in the fstab? [22:03] hi [22:03] how can i change the gdm login background? [22:03] howdy guys [22:03] glebihan: why does ifconfig help you? thats just the network stuff of my computer and not anything from the router [22:04] bnixy7, first of all take stock of what devices the connection is passing through then in Windows go to it's firewall and specifically allow those ports, say a router is next, depending on the router it's likely different for each one, check those ports, and then in Ubuntu do "sudo apt-get install gufw" then in that (System > Administration > Firewall Configuration) again allow the ports. [22:04] noo: well, never a bad idea to take a look at that when having troubles with network connections [22:04] ptDDev, you mean the loginbackground right === in0de is now known as ProfessorBacon [22:05] hiexpo, that's right. ubuntu tweaks doesn't work, and neither does python-gdm2setup [22:05] hiexpo, is there a configuration file i can edit? [22:05] noo: Doesnt your router provide your computer with information souch as what it itll have and what route its packages will take and most likely even what DNS's to use ? [22:05] glebihan: I send you the link in a second. I thhink that the problem might be that I might have to configure a DNS server, because I'm using dhcp to connect to the internet, but I don't know what my dhcp server should be. I think that should be the router itself shouldn't it? [22:06] noo: Doesnt your router provide your computer with information souch as what IP it itll have and what route its packages will take and most likely even what DNS's to use ? [22:06] AndrewMC: doesn't allow me because Im not the owner [22:06] noo: yes the dhcp server should be the router [22:06] so I should put in 127.0.0.1?? [22:06] ptDDev, leave it alone by messing with it your asking for troubles \ [22:07] just locked up Ubuntu for the first time... [22:07] noo: 127.0.0.1 is the local IP (of the computer), not the one of the router [22:07] surpised I've never done that before [22:08] noo: It doesnt have to be if youre on a more advanced network. all it does is hand out information to your computer so that it can reach the LAN and internet properly [22:08] hiexpo, ubuntu is getting worse lately, not better. i'm moving to mint [22:08] ptDDev: that won't help, it's ubuntu with a green theme, but whatever floats your boat [22:08] ptDDev, its the same thing [22:09] walterj89_, go to System > Preferences > Keyboard and then in that go to Layout tab and click Options then expand "Key sequence to kill X server" and check the option. Close it all out and from then on Control+Alt+Backspace will get you out of most crashes by killing the X server and returning you to the login screen. [22:09] you mean, the same ui options that ubuntu blocks are blocked in mint too? [22:09] I just tried to set 127.0.0.1 as my primary dns-server but it says that this is not a valid dns server [22:09] headkase314: i opened up the firewall config and put allow for ubuntu on both sections. im basically pretty confused and have no idea what I am installing. fyi. [22:09] ptDDev, yes [22:09] http://pastebin.com/QhLJXzTt here is the output of ifconfig [22:09] ptDDev: YES [22:09] it just bothers me that ubuntu *removes* functionality from gnome [22:09] how to get owner permissions [22:09] ???? [22:10] I installed xorg xterm gdm icewm menu firefox gksu and synaptic on my server, and it froze up on the login page. Does any one have a suggestion? Should I use a different desktop manager? I am running a server on an hp d530S. It won't boot. I researched the problem and I believe that I need to change a parameter to FRAMEBUFFER=y in my /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash file, but the file is not in the directory. What should I do? Can I copy the file [22:10] from a desktop instance? [22:10] headkase214: good to know, I just did a hard reboot [22:10] ptDDev, since grub2 [22:10] bnixy7, ufw is Ubuntu's default firewall. gufw is a graphical interface to configure it. That saves you from having to do it all on the command line. [22:10] ptDDev: what functionality ? [22:10] Kills: add your user to the owner group or change file ownership [22:10] VCoolio: how to do that?? [22:10] some options are missing [22:10] what options [22:10] like the gdm options [22:10] n8 [22:10] headkase314: well i went to the gui for the firewall and selected "allow" for both incoming and outgoing... is that what you wanted me to do? [22:11] you can't turn off the user list for example [22:11] Kills: first find out which one you want; what are you trying to do? [22:11] ptDDev: I need precise answers if you please. [22:11] hi [22:11] bnixy7, ufw may be disabled so you're Ubuntu machine may not need the ports specifically allowed but gufw will let you easily see this. I think it's much more likely the ports are blocked either on the Windows machine or in your router between machines.

[22:11] It looks like I need to disable the frame buffer by uncommenting the following line: # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb in menu.lst and then update grub. Am I correct? [22:12] ptDDev: aha, you think it lists too many users i take it ? [22:12] hi [22:12] anyone can help-me? [22:12] Guest37394: only if you ask a question [22:13] Hopsa, why can't i disable it, so that users need to type their usernames? [22:13] i thought issue was login theme ptDDev [22:13] headkase314: but I have like 4 computers im trying to gain access to this one computer... I have to go to every computer and access the ports?

How can I run it again now it?s installed? [22:13] ptDDev: They should click on their usernames and then type in a password. Isnt that what you see ?

[22:14] Hopsa: what if i want them to *type* their usernames first? GDM has that option [22:14] bnixy7, get one route working first. From the Ubuntu machine to the Windows server. It may be that the port is blocked on a router and once you find it the other machines won't need anything else done. [22:15] Kills: but skipping password involves a security risk, be aware of that [22:15] headkase314: would i want to "port forward" then? [22:15] ptDDev: Hmm, cant you click in the user selector and choose a different name ? [22:15] hi guys [22:15] well it should just show you and other than when clicking other it shows all [22:15] can u help me? [22:15] pippo, no, you will burn in hell like everyone :) [22:16] VCoolio: what risks? [22:16] bnixy7, I don't believe you want to forward the port as that may lock it into a single machine. Give me a second with google. [22:16] like bad scripts will be able to execute anything without being blocked by a password request [22:16] Kills: ^ [22:16] headkase314: appears that port forward and port trigger are the two options I havE [22:16] noo: you do not know the IP of your router, is that right ?

It's not commented out; grub legacy uses those lines as templates. then do update-grub [22:17] VCoolio: I only would liek to be able to move damn songs from my phone and to it -.- [22:17] and i need to go through a hell to do that -.- [22:17] Kills: ah, now that's different; you need to mount your phone with user permissions [22:18] how did you mount it?

[22:27] anybody here who can help me using my logitech cam with skype in 10.04 please? [22:28] mobasher, yes but not the pc, the server X what you think about it ? [22:28] how can i burn a .cue, .bin image in ubuntu 10.4? [22:28] glebihan: would that limit the amount loaded into ram so that somehow sudo wouldnt work ? / I feel its not a problem. [22:28] Is freeciv any good? [22:28] i forgot the cmd for restarting the server X [22:28] hmm...okay i'm confused..u rebooted or no ?

I cannot reinstall because the biggest USB I have is 512MB [22:29] Dice-Man: sudo service gdm restart [22:29] Should have been clearer [22:29] k ..reboot then please [22:29] crohakon: Try it :) ... Also try warzone 2100, Monkeybubble, Torcs and Racer :) [22:29] rblst .. good luck getting anything logitec working.. they dont support linux last time I checked [22:29] Dice-Man, go to System > Preferences > Keyboard and then in that go to Layout tab and click Options then expand "Key sequence to kill X server" and check the option. Close it all out and from then on Control+Alt+Backspace will get you out of most crashes by killing the X server and returning you to the login screen. [22:29] Hopsa: no, was asking that, because if he had had a live CD, he would have been able to boot on edit and manually edit /etc/sudoers [22:30] Dice-Man >> if you need to reboot...what you can do is press ALT + F2 and type gnome-terminal ...when in terminal type sudo reboot [22:30] glebihan: Seems to be what he should do, edit /etc/sudoers.

[22:37] Hopsa, yes, i've heard about that [22:37] salty, cdrdao should be able to burn bin/cue files.

[22:39] flixil, like kung-fu. [22:39] SCD[Eire], press the left shift key immediately after booting, to bring up the grub menu. then arrow down one line to the one that says "recovery" and press Enter. You'll get a menu with a number of options, one of which is to enter a root shell. Take that one and be very careful what you do. [22:39] oh gongfu [22:39] SCD[Eire]: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo#recoverymode [22:39] =) [22:39] mobasher is it posible to enable it on the usb, so it will boot from the usb and pretty much run like the hardrive? [22:40] jk_: there again it depends, for me it's escape :) [22:40] or sorry flixil [22:40] Ok thanks jk_ and glebihan , be back on soon let you know how I got on [22:40] SCD[Eire]: ok [22:40] rblst: I have no relation to any printer manufacturer or so if you wonder. [22:40] donkeyy>> you need to configure your bios for that to boot from it whenever u want [22:40] Yes it boots from the USB [22:40] glebihan, it's escape for grub legacy but left shift for grub2. SCD may need to try both but I figure that he's using grub2. [22:40] but its in LIVE Mode [22:40] donkeyy, the app that you used to create (burn) the live usb should be able to enable space in it for documents and stuff [22:40] donkeyy>> just change the boot sequence [22:41] jk_: yes it's more likely [22:41] headkase314, let's try the new kernel. Reboot :) [22:41] donkeyy>> yes..when you remove it it will not boot from it [22:41] Hopsa, but you're saying that these makes are no-no for linux? [22:41] WHats a good distro for a live usb? [22:41] with decent speed [22:42] donkeyy>> all are good mate what you like is the choice is yours...i have been with ubuntu for 3 years not...love it wana stick with it :) [22:42] cool mobasher [22:42] rblst: Atleats the 100X series where crap. Requires software loaded into ram that is non-free to the customer who bought HP-Printers. [22:42] :) [22:42] donkeyy, I sometimes boot Puppy Linux -> http://puppylinux.org/main/index.php?file=Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm [22:42] ;) [22:42] I liked Fedora but it was too difficult :( [22:43] donkeyy, for running off USB that is, installed Ubuntu all the way. [22:43] Hopsa, i see [22:43] rblst: I bought some HP 1005 printers and they utilized that crap. [22:43] donkeyy>> lol...ubuntu is nice and user friendly [22:43] rblst: I always liked HP but now i feel theyve done bad. [22:43] headkase314... what do you mean install it all the way [22:44] Hopsa, i have similar feelings [22:44] donekyy>> he means on the HD like a real OS [22:44] donkeyy, Installed I have and use Ubuntu but sometimes I boot off of USB with Puppy Linux and use that as a Live session. It has a persistence option too which can be useful. [22:44] ok so from a live cd... can I install it on the usb?? [22:44] donkeyy >> make sure you backup the data dude...before you do something like that ..yes u can [22:44] lol [22:45] I have nothing on the usb === cory is now known as Guest72823 [22:45] donkeyy >>lol...so man people start to do that out of curiosity and kill the cat if u know what i mean :) [22:45] donkeyy, yes just keep the ISO you download, burn it boot the cd then there is an installer on the cd that can transfer the ISO (from your hard drive) over to a USB stick. [22:45] rblst: Ill think about emailing them about lost sales but yould think theyd know better then not pleasing their buystaff/admins/users etc. [22:45] thanks headkase314 and mobasher [22:45] donkeyy, you're welcome. [22:45] donkeyy >>np anytime [22:45] :D [22:46] Hopsa, hmm, not worth your time i guess [22:46] rblst: It wouldnt surprise me if we dont have 10000 of their older printers and a few hundred Gestetners. [22:47] rblst: I think it would change things. [22:47] Hopsa, where do you work? [22:47] jk_, and glebihan I don't know if what I did solved the problem, but it booted this time. Sometimes it boots for a while, and then just stops working. I guess I'll see if it is fixed in time. Thanks for your help. [22:48] rblst>> what a blunt question to ask on a global chat :) [22:48] incognito, you're quite welcome! [22:48] rblst: But what i can also tell you is that i have many friends that doesnt like their new unfree-must-have-to-use-their-printers-software [22:48] incognito: you're welcome [22:49] I'm kinda new to linux.... this is fun === coryclaxon is now known as Guest81088 [22:49] incognito: If you feel its fun youve landed on both feet :) [22:50] :) [22:50] Its how it should be. === macode is now known as macode|afk === macode|afk is now known as macode [22:52] !away > macode [22:52] macode, please see my private message [22:52] mobasher, i don't think anybody cares, i was just curious === jon_ is now known as SpandexBob [22:53] walterj89_, i'll try to compile this driver, thanks [22:54] So I'm confused. I'm staring at top. And apache2 seems to be taking up more and more RAM-- it's risen from not much %MEM to like 41%. However, while this happens, the "Swap:" line at the top of the screen doesn't seem changed-- it still says almost all of the swap is free. And Mem: hasn't really changed either, because it was saturated to start with. [22:54] Am I misreading top? How do I tell how much swap space is left? [22:54] mcc: free -m === Erik_ is now known as Ereek [22:56] Hello guys [22:57] mephiston: good day [22:57] Hey. I was thinking of upgrading Ubuntu to the 10.10 beta. When I install it using Update Manager, what does it do? Does it create a seperate option in the boot menu or overwrite my 10.04. Not fussed either way, just wondering. [22:57] stealth_: it overwrites the existing installation [22:57] stealth_, it overwrites existing files. [22:57] Ahh good [22:57] stealth_: Basically leaves /home instact [22:57] mcc, I'm just a beginner, so you may know a lot more than I do, but my first instinct would be to also run conky and compare what it says. [22:58] stealth_: Basically leaves /home intact [22:58] stealth_: if you are not a confident user, don't do it [22:58] NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ!

[22:58] MrUnagi: spam [22:58] stealth_: not until it's stable [22:58] stealth_: when the final comes out [22:58] MrUnagi: Every now and again that happens. [22:58] Ahh ok [22:58] stealth_: two weeks before official release. [22:58] never use to have that before... [22:58] what the heck!!! [22:58] stealth_: two weeks *after* official release. [22:58] and hey sebsebseb [22:59] sorry [22:59] stealth_: when it is officially released is when you should update [22:59] Ahh ok ikonia [22:59] MrUnagi, incognito please don't talk about the spam (adds to the problem) [22:59] what the hell was that about with the autistic lord [22:59] gotcha [22:59] don't worry about it - lets move on [22:59] ok [22:59] stealth_: yeah the update manager will say a new version is availalbe when its ready, unless its set to only look for LTS [23:00] Ahh good seb. [23:00] stealth_: 10.04 is lts, 10.10 isn't so it won't offer the udpate [23:00] Ikonia, I can install it from the update manager any time. So i can just do it when its launched. [23:00] ikonia: depends on the configuration [23:01] glebihan: yes, and the default 10.04 is no, non-lts update [23:01] guys, can I make a question? I'm using gmail as a smarhost of postfix, and it's automatically resending all my emails, I have cheched /etc/mail.rc and I can't see anything suspcious for this resending, have you got any ideas how to avoid this anoying resends? [23:01] decide for yourself: System > Administration > Update Manager [23:01] mephiston: what's re-sending, postfix or gmail [23:01] stealth_, basically you should only install 10.10 beta if you intend to be reporting bugs. Because you will be running into them. If you are looking to use the system problem-free you should at least wait until a release candidate. [23:02] Yeah thats what I will be planning to do now headkase314 [23:02] stealth_: theres a setting you can change in the update manager so that non LTS releases are offered as well. However 10.10 won't be out untill the 10th of October, and then the download servers will get packed, so probably best to wait a week or so at least, before upgrading really. [23:02] stealth_: you need to be able to debug and work with problems, not just report "it's not working" [23:02] mmm postfix, I thing [23:02] mephiston: what makes you think that ? [23:03] I can wait till October seb [23:03] wait, I confirm if it was gmail, by it self, It will figure the "gmail settings" on the header [23:03] mmm [23:04] Oh and sebsebseb you were right, 10.10 netbook does look pretty good [23:04] stealth_: ok so you might want to do another clean install when 10.10 comes out, and put the netbook edition on [23:05] Yeah [23:05] ikonia: from: root to user@gmail.com Date..... Subject mailed-by gmail.com [23:05] but when I send it through thunderbird or webmail [23:05] I think I am going to do that sebsebseb. [23:05] How hard would it be [23:05] stealth_: and since you got a seperate /home now, that will be really easy to do [23:05] Ahh good [23:06] ikonia: but with thunberbird, evolution, and webmail doesn't make this [23:06] so... I'm a bit lost >_< [23:06] It just looks such a improvement seb, i am interested in getting it [23:06] stealth_: give it same username and password, and should be fine [23:06] mephiston: Badly configured client [23:06] mephiston: is thunderbird/webmail using postfix, or direct to gmail [23:06] ok seb mate, sounds good === macode is now known as macode|afk [23:06] directo to gmail, not postfix [23:06] but the logcheck uses postfix [23:07] lspci nor dmesg doesnt show my wifi build in card does anyone know why ? [23:07] mephiston: ok, so look in the postfix log to see if it is being sent once or twice with postfix [23:07] and it's really anoying to see "one incoming message, and a copy" [23:07] I just install 10.10 netbook sebsebseb, and delete the partition with this copy on? [23:07] tracy68: if lspci doesn't show it, it doesn't exist (disabled) [23:07] stealth_: yeah or just format it, when putting the netbook edition on [23:08] Hey, is there any way I can change the location of my /home without sny bootable media? [23:08] sebsebseb, how would I find my current partition and format it? [23:08] Redeemed: maybe [23:08] Well [23:08] !home | Redeemed [23:08] Redeemed: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [23:08] just find it, not format it, I can do that [23:09] stealth_: df might help you [23:09] df? [23:09] stealth_: yes, type "df" in a terminal [23:09] glebihan: he is kind of on about next month here, and I helped him re install recently [23:09] u know what it show ? Broadcom Corporation Device 4353 but thats not an info i dont know what chip it is how to determine the chip it use ? [23:09] tracy68: make sure it's enabled (kill switch) [23:10] where is the application directory in wine? [23:10] stealth_: if your going to re install Ubuntu, be that desktop edition or net book, or even another distro for that matter. you can format the Ext4 partition in the installer, and install what your installing there. or delete the partition, and make a new partition, and install there [23:10] ridin: ~/.wine/drive_c/ [23:10] ikonia is Broadcom Corporation Device 4353 BCM4353 ??? [23:10] Ahh ok sebsebseb, sounds easy enough I hope [23:10] tracy68: so ? [23:10] stealth_: Add "-h" to get it in human readable form (GB/KB/Bytes) etc. [23:11] im asking you [23:11] tracy68: I don't know what model you have [23:11] stealth_: in manual partitioning you would do it [23:11] K hopsa, sounds pretty good mate. Hopefully I will get it set up fully. And sebsebseb, what are the advantages of me using Netbook Edition? [23:11] register nickserver [23:11] Yeah seb, using gparted right? [23:12] tracy68: are you using ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 [23:12] erUSUL: err:module:import_dll Library mss32.dll, i put it in ~/.wine/drive_c [23:12] stealth_: at the moment with 10.04 not much over the desktop version, but from what I have seen of Unity as in webpages and videos, it seems quite a lot of advantages for 10.10 over the desktop version [23:12] !unr | stealth_ [23:12] 10.04 [23:12] stealth_: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [23:12] Lemme checkit [23:12] tracy68: then why are you discussing it in #ubuntu+1 [23:12] hi...i am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 lts server, won't see my sata dvd player during install! [23:13] im using 10.04 [23:13] tracy68: then why are you discussing it in #ubuntu+1 [23:13] tracy68: #ubuntu+1 is for the development version of Ubuntu, currently 10.10 [23:13] have tried setting bios to ide for controller, no help === spuddogg is now known as SpudDogg [23:13] any ideas? [23:13] ubuntu+1 is for 10,10 and im here cuz im using 10.04 [23:13] sebsebseb, I'm sure that you can change the location of your home folder. I'm sure you know that it can be done on installation, but I'm sure you can also do it if you can find the file that tells ubuntu where the home file/files is and change the entry. [23:13] sebsebseb, I just HATED the little bar at the side in 10.04. Looked at the one in 10.10 and it looked amazing [23:14] incognito: change the location of /home folder, you mean moving to a seperate partition, and after install? If so you want this [23:14] !home | incognito [23:14] incognito: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [23:14] stealth_: what bar? [23:14] Ubuntu Netbook Remix SpudDogg [23:14] stealth_: ahh k [23:15] another question, is it possible to move an entire installation to a different drive? [23:15] Redeemed: yes [23:15] Redeemed: man "dd" [23:15] Redeemed: I guess so, I think you might even be able to do it in gparted, by copying the partiitons with it [23:15] sebsebseb, maybe I misunderstood what you were asking. I thought you were asking if you can do it. [23:15] anyone else have prob with Server install not seeing dvd/cd drive? === stealth_ is now known as stealth___ [23:15] vlad: no [23:16] vlad: by the way there is a channel for the server edition #ubuntu-server [23:16] I don't like the fact that the exit minimize and maximize buttons are on the left side of the windows now. Can that be changed to the right? [23:16] ah...ok. thx. i'll take a look seb. [23:16] * hiexpo hey sebsebseb [23:16] vlad: your welcome [23:16] it makes no sense... o.O in /var/log/mail.log doesn't appear any signal of this resend, that's werid [23:16] hiexpo: hey [23:16] !controls | incognito [23:16] incognito: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[23:17] Ahh good seb, I am gonna do that first [23:17] !usb | stealth___ [23:17] stealth___: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:17] Redeemed: dd if=/dev/YOURDEV of=DESTDEV possibly, check the manpage first [23:17] where is the application directory in wine [23:17] ridin: its a hidden .folder in home called .wine [23:17] Yeah I know how to do that easy enough I think seb [23:17] I just installed ubuntu(10.4) x64 on my girlfriends laptop, shes got a reliance usb modem (ZTEMT usb modem). I tried installing directly from the .deb package available on it but it said its on the wrong architecture, so i installed wvdial and followed the instructions given over here http://bit.ly/cajkQ3 which did not work and gives me the error warning:inherited section [modem0] doesn not exist in wvdial.conf and vwdialconf tells [23:17] !wine \ ridin [23:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:17] Just wondered if I would be able to do itwith 10.10 [23:17] slacker_: you can have a proper install on your USB stick as well [23:17] slacker_: wrong one [23:18] ikonia: look at the query [23:18] stealth___: rather than just using it for the live session [23:18] mephiston: look at what ?

[23:20] mephiston: send a test mail, check the mail id's in the headers, do they have different or the same unique reference number [23:20] ridin: actsaully yeah most Wine support should be done in #winehq really rather than here, since its not proper Ubuntu support [23:20] ridin: Make sure you dont have duplicate dll files [23:20] ridin: if you have a problem with your Wine program installation. something went wrong, rather easy to start over, just move or delete .wine from your home folder. its a hidden folder [23:21] Hopsa, thanks much.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:23] sebsebseb: according to the appdb it works perfect [23:23] ridin: well get support in #winehq for it then [23:23] ridin: Thanks. Seb takes over from now [23:23] Hopsa: no I wasn't pushing you out :) [23:23] thanks. So i want to ask why wubi download 2 times ubuntu and after this give me some strange error and where i can find the log to read this error [23:24] regards :) [23:24] Hopsa: its just getting programs working in Wine isn't really Ubuntu support, you could help him in #winehq if you want of course though :) [23:24] its not like they would really care to code another package just for a single customer....additionally i think by getting the proper dependencies i could install a 32bit s/w on my x64 system (like i did for adobe air) and then there are options like wvdial....i just need a push in the right direction... [23:26] how to create similar user account with access to apps in ubuntu ? [23:26] mobasher: you mean like the default Ubuntu account?

[23:27] mobasher: ok uhmm I don't have Ubuntu with Gnome in front of me right now, but I think its [23:27] mobasher: (well I would have if I loaded up a vm) system > administartion > users and groups [23:27] mobasher: well something like that, and in there you can set up the permissions for an account [23:28] sebsebseb>> will that automatically give access to all apps which i have ? [23:28] mobasher: what I would personally do is, sudo addusr passwd in the terminal [23:28] sebsebseb>> or i have to copy my home directory to his ? [23:28] mobasher: add the account like that, and then do the rest graphically [23:29] mobasher: wrong command by the way, sudo addusr thats correct [23:29] mobasher: then you can set it up so that the account can access your /home if you want as well [23:29] sebsebseb, adduser [23:29] as well as the account having its own /home [23:30] sebsebseb>> hmm..not that i want them to access my profile [23:30] Hello! I create raid10 with mdadm "/dev/md4", but after reboot "/dev/md4p1" appeared. Why ? [23:30] headkase314: ok well I nearly had it :) thanks though, been a while since I used that [23:30] sebsebseb, ;) [23:30] ikonia: on headers Message-id: same for both, then the received field is bigger in the "wanted mail" but there is an ID which is the same, the rest it's very different [23:30] (Sitting on Kubuntu, probably not related) - I'm having some problems with ATI drivers, I'm getting 150 fps / 5 frames on GLXGEARS. I installed latest 10.8. [23:30] sebsebseb>> i would rather create a home directory for him and copy my contents of apps on to his basically that's what i want to do and give them limited access [23:30] hey guys, I can run any flavour up to 9.10 on my brand new laptop, but not 10.04. I updated my 9.10 install to 10.04 and then tried using the old 2.6.31 kernel, but nothing newer trhan 2.6.31 works. help? [23:30] i just got a job as an information security engineer...they make me use windoze. boooooooooooooooooooooooooo [23:31] mobasher: ok thats quite easy to do, once you have the account set up [23:31] mobasher: make the account, and then copy stuff in to it , basiclley [23:31] sebsebseb>> k i have the account setup so just copy my home to his ? [23:31] sebsebseb>> gota ya [23:31] mobasher: however [23:31] * SpudDogg hugs vmware [23:31] SpudDogg: i prefer whips & handcuffs [23:31] mobasher: remember home isn't only data, its program user data [23:32] sedstapler: yea. me too :( [23:32] sebsebseb>> meaning ? [23:32] mobasher: you don't know about the hidden .folders? [23:32] and .files [23:32] glaucous: glxgears is not a good benchmark [23:32] sebsebseb>> that's okay...i can remove some of them from his account once done [23:32] mobasher: no need to [23:32] mobasher: he will have his own .folders [23:32] speaking of hidden files, i find ntfs streaming interesting [23:33] sedstapler: well it does tell me something. I tested particle effects and my laptop was faster, same thing in glxgears (150 vs 2200). [23:33] mobasher: and then you can copy whatever data you want him to also, have into there, or even set up a folder in your /home folder I guess, and share it [23:34] sebsebseb>> hmm..basically i have no data just desktop configurations and etc some app configurations profile and etc [23:34] somebody? anybody? [23:34] mobasher: if you do this stuff correctly, you don't really need the same data twice on the computer [23:34] mobasher: no data in /home ? [23:34] I"m stuck in a rather odd predicament. Laptop running 10.04, hard drive made a few loud sounds like something got stuck internally, froze a little, then now it gets stuck in a pre-ubuntu-login-screen boot loop [23:34] TTY1 also is all out of proportion [23:34] SpudDogg: The interresting part in streaming is what the end computers can decompress at their end and what the server can compress and then send to the clients [23:34] mobasher: in the graphical program, you can set up the file and group permissions [23:34] any ideas what's going on? [23:34] mobasher: the user account rights [23:35] mobasher: he can have exactly the same as your account, or he can have something diffenret [23:35] sebsebseb>> k let me give it shot and see how it goes i think i got it..thanks bro cheers [23:35] patman023: what do you mean exactly, when you say it doesn't work ? [23:35] mobasher: and by default things are set up with a new account, so that they can't install software, for example [23:37] Hey guys. I need to mv all files with the extension of rhtml to html.erb within a folder and its subfolders. How would i do that? [23:37] sdwrage: you want to move all files into one ? [23:37] you want to move all files to a file named html.erb ? [23:37] hey guys my gnome panel is missing and alt+f2 is not giving me run command also my gnome is messed up what shud i do?? [23:38] rewati: this might help [23:38] !panels | rewati [23:38] rewati: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:38] Hopsa, no, I want to move all files with the extension .rhtml to the same filename but with the extension .html.erb [23:38] LINUX SUX OSX OWNS [23:38] LINUX SUX OSX OWNS [23:38] popbob: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I tried installing directly from the .deb package available on it but it said its on the wrong architecture, so i installed wvdial and followed the instructions given over here http://bit.ly/cajkQ3 which did not work and gives me the error warning:inherited section [modem0] doesn not exist in wvdial.conf and vwdialcon [23:42] incognito: anyway the buttons on the left is only for the two new (well not so new now) default 10.04 themes [23:42] hey one question guys, ive installed linux-image-generic-pae and headers-pae it installed -19 kernels, ive checked the repos and there is a -20 kernel, shouldnt those packages install lastest kernels by default? [23:42] incognito: use another theme, maybe the old brown look from before 10.04 even, and the buttons will be on the right [23:42] incognito: or the clear looks theme for example that still comes with Ubuntu === kermit is now known as JestemHardkorem [23:43] what the heck does !controls | incognito mean?

[23:44] airtonix, I'll try that [23:44] free software... there's just so *much* of it. what's the best way to browse packages, in your humble opinion?

[23:46] nUboon2Age: also there shoudn't really be any need for ubuntutweak since that kind of stuff, should be built in, but no [23:46] sdwrage: Let me know how this works. Also add directories in that test-directory of files.
